  • Servicing GAAP pretax income of $31 million, adjusted pretax income of $39 million
  • Boarded $100 billion during the quarter, highest ending UPB in company history of $453 billion

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--November 2, 2016--Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NSM) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2016.

"Our third quarter achievements solidify us as the preferred industry partner," said Jay Bray, Chairman and CEO. "In the quarter we posted strong operational results, added almost 510 thousand customers to our servicing platform, funded over 25 thousand loans and launched enhanced technologies that improve the home ownership experience for our 2.7 million and growing customer base. We ended the quarter with the largest servicing portfolio in our company's history, are actively engaged in a significant pipeline and remain focused on creating value for our shareholders."

Company Results

For the third quarter, net income for GAAP purposes was $45 million or $0.46 per share. On an adjusted basis, the Company achieved net income of $51 million, or $0.52 per share, driven by recapturing customers through our originations platform and our strong servicing performance despite elevated amortization. The third quarter adjustments to net income include the net fair value marks and exit costs related to the originations builder channel.

Servicing Segment

The Servicing segment achieved GAAP pretax income of $31 million on average UPB of $390 billion for the third quarter. On an adjusted basis, which removes the impact of fair value marks, adjusted pretax income was $39 million or 4.0 bps.

Servicing contributed solid earnings during the quarter despite a $14 million increase in amortization which reflects our focus on improving portfolio performance and cost containment initiatives. Compared to the second quarter, besides amortization, the biggest change was due to the reverse clean-up call executed in Q2. In addition, we boarded $100 billion of loans, including $91 billion of subserviced loans that contribute less revenue on a bps basis; however, generate higher margin and significantly higher return on equity due to the limited capital deployed.

Ending UPB ($B) $ 369   $ 453

Annualized CPR 17 % 18 %
Annualized CPR, net of recapture 14 % 15 %
Modifications and workouts 15,282 13,506
 

The ending UPB of $453 billion is the highest in the company's history. We expect subservicing flow and originations volume to replace anticipated run-off in 2017. We remain actively engaged, along with our capital partners, in several large opportunities that could substantially add to our servicing portfolio.


Originations Segment

The strength of our Originations platform is the ability to leverage an integrated servicing portfolio and recapture customers looking to purchase a home or refinance with more favorable interest rates. During the quarter, our Originations segment capitalized on the prepayments in our servicing book and generated $85 million in adjusted pretax income, a quarterly increase of 57%, and the highest pretax income in our history.

Adjusted Pretax Income:  
Income before taxes (GAAP) $ 54 $ 83
Non-recurring         2  
Adjusted pretax income $ 54     $ 85  
 
Adjusted pretax income margin 29 % 38 %
 
Funded volume - consumer direct ($B) $ 3.3 $ 4.0
Funded volume - total ($B) $ 5.2 $ 5.5
Recapture percentage 29 % 27 %
Purchase percentage of funded volume 26 % 24 %
 

In total, we funded $5.5 billion for our servicing platform, a quarterly increase of 6%, while also generating significant operating cash. We recaptured 27% of voluntary prepayments from the servicing portfolio during the quarter. The strong recapture rate reflects our investment in delivering multiple offerings to customers and our focus on the direct to consumer business.


Xome Segment

Consistent with expectations, Xome delivered $20 million in GAAP pretax income by maintaining strong property sales execution and continued improvement in title operations margins.

Our property sales business remains focused on operational performance and the execution of pilot programs for third parties, including a Government Sponsored Entity ("GSE"). During the quarter, our title operations completed record closings while expanding margins as a result of deeper penetration from existing third party clients and capitalizing on the favorable environment. In addition, Xome launched the first white label property search offering of Xome.com during the quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes non-GAAP (or “adjusted”) financial measures as the measures provide additional information to assist investors in understanding and assessing the Company’s and our business segments’ ongoing performance and financial results, as well as assessing our prospects for future performance. The adjusted financial measures facilitate a meaningful analysis and allow more accurate comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to the Company’s and our business segments’ core operating performance, and are better measures for assessing trends in our underlying businesses. These adjustments are consistent with how management views our businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operational and planning decisions and evaluating the Company’s and our business segment’s ongoing performance. Adjusted earnings (loss) eliminates the effects of mark-to-market adjustments which primarily reflects unrealized gains or losses based on the changes in fair value measurements of MSRs and their related financing liabilities for which a fair value accounting election was made. These adjustments, which can be highly volatile and material due to changes in credit markets, are not necessarily reflective of the gains and losses that will ultimately be realized by the Company. Adjusted earnings (loss) also eliminates, as applicable, restructuring costs, rebranding and integration costs, gains (losses) on sales of fixed assets, certain legal settlement costs that are not considered normal operational matters, and other adjustments based on the facts and circumstances that would provide investors a supplemental means for evaluating the Company’s core operating performance.
