Second Quarter 2022 Highlights

Pretax income was $177.5 million, down 24 percent from the prior quarter and 36 percent from the second quarter of 2021

Repurchased 2.4 million shares of PFSI’s common stock at an average price of $46.81 per share for a cost of $113.6 million; also repurchased an additional 478 thousand shares in July at an average price of $48.19 per share for a cost of $23.0 million

Issued $500 million of 5-year term notes secured by Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)

Production segment pretax income of $9.7 million, up slightly from $9.3 million in the prior quarter and down from $244.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 primarily due to lower volumes as a result of the smaller origination market

Consumer direct interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) were $4.3 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB), down 53 percent from the prior quarter and 69 percent from the second quarter of 2021

Broker direct IRLCs were $2.2 billion in UPB, down 37 percent from the prior quarter and 51 percent from the second quarter of 2021

Government correspondent IRLCs totaled $11.3 billion in UPB, down 9 percent from the prior quarter and 28 percent from the second quarter of 2021

Total loan acquisitions and originations, including those fulfilled for PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (NYSE: PMT), were $26.7 billion in UPB, down 20 percent from the prior quarter and 56 percent from the second quarter of 2021

Correspondent acquisitions of conventional loans fulfilled for PMT were $10.3 billion in UPB, up 6 percent from the prior quarter and down 66 percent from the second quarter of 2021

Servicing segment pretax income was $167.6 million, down from $225.2 million in the prior quarter and up from $30.9 million in the second quarter of 2021

Pretax income excluding valuation-related items was $88.3 million, up 3 percent from the prior quarter

Valuation items included:

–

$233.8 million in mortgage servicing rights (MSR) fair value gains partially offset by $176.0 million in fair value decreases from hedging results

Net impact on pretax income related to these items was $57.8 million, or $0.75 in earnings per share

–

$21.5 million of reversals related to provisions for losses on active loans

Servicing portfolio grew to $527.3 billion in UPB, up 2 percent from March 31, 2022 and 11 percent from June 30, 2021, driven by production volumes which more than offset prepayment activity

Investment Management segment pretax income was $0.2 million, up from $0.1 million in the prior quarter and down from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2021

Net assets under management (AUM) were $2.1 billion, down 7 percent from March 31, 2022, and 12 percent from June 30, 2021

“PFSI continues to distinguish itself as a best-in-class mortgage company, delivering strong financial results in the second quarter with an annualized return on equity of 15 percent,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “The quick, decisive and meaningful actions taken earlier this year to better align our expenses with lower expected levels of activity led to continued profitability in our production segment despite higher interest rates, increased volatility and industry overcapacity. We also saw a strong income contribution from our servicing business, which continues to grow organically as additions to the platform from our loan production activities more than offset prepayment activity. We ended the quarter with a servicing portfolio of 2.2 million customers representing nearly $530 billion in unpaid principal balance.”

Mr. Spector continued, “We remain diligent in identifying and implementing additional efficiencies across the Company while also simultaneously making investments in transformational technology projects which we believe will position PFSI for continued success. Though PFSI’s returns are projected to trend lower over the next few quarters due to volatility in the current market environment, I remain confident in our positioning over the long-term given our balanced business model with a large and growing servicing portfolio and this management team’s long history of executing through various markets.”

Production Segment

The Production segment includes the correspondent acquisition of newly originated government-insured mortgage loans for PennyMac Financial’s own account, fulfillment services on behalf of PMT and direct lending through the consumer direct and broker direct channels, including the underwriting and acquisition of loans from correspondent sellers on a non-delegated basis.

PennyMac Financial’s loan production activity for the quarter totaled $26.7 billion in UPB, $16.4 billion of which was for its own account, and $10.3 billion of which was fee-based fulfillment activity for PMT. Correspondent government and direct lending IRLCs totaled $17.9 billion in UPB, down 29 percent from the prior quarter and 48 percent from the second quarter of 2021 due to the significant reduction in the size of the overall origination market.

Production segment pretax income was $9.7 million, up slightly from $9.3 million in the prior quarter and down from $244.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. Production segment revenue totaled $223.2 million, down 28 percent from the prior quarter and 61 percent from the second quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by a $68.7 million decrease in net gains on loans held for sale and a $27.9 million decrease in loan origination fees, both driven by lower volumes.

The components of net gains on loans held for sale are detailed in the following table:

⁽¹⁾ Net of cash hedging results

PennyMac Financial performs fulfillment services for conventional conforming and jumbo loans acquired by PMT from non-affiliates in its correspondent production business. These services include, but are not limited to, marketing, relationship management, correspondent seller approval and monitoring, loan file review, underwriting, pricing, hedging and activities related to the subsequent sale and securitization of loans in the secondary mortgage markets for PMT.

Fees earned from the fulfillment of correspondent loans on behalf of PMT totaled $20.6 million in the second quarter, up 23 percent from the prior quarter and down 62 percent from the second quarter of 2021. The increase from the prior quarter was driven by higher conventional acquisition volumes and a higher weighted average fulfillment fee while the decrease from the second quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by the decrease in conventional acquisition volumes.

Net interest income totaled $9.2 million, up from $3.9 million in the prior quarter. Interest income in the second quarter totaled $28.4 million, down from $30.9 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense totaled $19.2 million, down from $27.1 million in the prior quarter, due to lower average balances of loans held-for-sale during the quarter.

Production segment expenses were $213.6 million, down 29 percent from the prior quarter and 34 percent from the second quarter of 2021. The decline from the prior quarter was driven by lower production volumes and a reduction in headcount consistent with the expense management initiatives announced in the prior quarter.

Servicing Segment

The Servicing segment includes income from owned MSRs, subservicing and special servicing activities. Servicing segment pretax income was $167.6 million, down from $225.2 million in the prior quarter and up from $30.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. Servicing segment net revenues totaled $278.6 million, down from $336.5 million in the prior quarter and up from $162.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by a $47.9 million decrease in net loan servicing fees and a $7.2 million reduction in gains on loans held for sale related to early buyout (EBO) activity.

Revenue from net loan servicing fees totaled $238.4 million, down from $286.3 million in the prior quarter primarily driven by lower net valuation related gains. Revenue from loan servicing fees included $302.4 million in servicing fees, reduced by $121.7 million from the realization of MSR cash flows. Net valuation-related gains totaled $57.8 million, and included MSR fair value gains of $233.8 million and hedging declines of $176.0 million primarily driven by increasing interest rates during the period.

The following table presents a breakdown of net loan servicing fees:

⁽¹⁾Includes contractually-specified servicing fees

Servicing segment revenue included $69.7 million in net gains on loans held for sale related to reperforming government-insured and guaranteed loans purchased out of Ginnie Mae securitizations, or EBOs. These gains were down from $76.8 million in the prior quarter and $163.4 million in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of lower volumes and redelivery gains due to higher interest rates.

These EBOs are previously delinquent loans that were brought back to performing status through PennyMac Financial’s successful servicing efforts, primarily through loan modifications or FHA Partial Claims. With respect to the FHA Partial Claims, the reperforming loans must remain current for a minimum of six months to be eligible for resecuritization.

Net interest expense totaled $30.4 million, versus net interest expense of $27.3 million in the prior quarter and $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Interest income was $21.5 million, down from $22.9 million in the prior quarter as increased placement fees on custodial balances offset the decline in interest income on EBO loans held for sale. Interest expense was $51.9 million, up slightly from the prior quarter.

Servicing segment expenses totaled $111.0 million, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter.

The total servicing portfolio grew to $527.3 billion in UPB at June 30, 2022, an increase of 2 percent from March 31, 2022 and 11 percent from June 30, 2021. PennyMac Financial subservices or conducts special servicing for $226.4 billion in UPB, up 2 percent from March 31, 2022 and 11 percent from June 30, 2021. PennyMac Financial’s owned MSR portfolio grew to $300.9 billion in UPB, an increase of 2 percent from March 31, 2022 and 12 percent from June 30, 2021.

Investment Management Segment

PennyMac Financial manages PMT for which it earns base management fees and may earn incentive compensation. Net AUM were $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2022, down 7 percent from March 31, 2022 and 12 percent from June 30, 2021 due to PMT’s financial performance.

Pretax income for the Investment Management segment was $0.2 million, up from $0.1 million in the prior quarter and down from $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2021. Base management fees from PMT were $7.9 million, down from $8.1 million in the prior quarter and $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 due to the decline in AUM. No performance incentive fees were earned in the first or second quarters of 2022, while performance incentive fees of $3.3 million were earned in the second quarter of 2021.
