• Repurchased 2.3 million common shares for $100 million

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 27, 2022--Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NASDAQ: COOP) (the “Company”), which principally operates under the Mr. Cooper® and Xome® brands, reported a second quarter net income of $151 million or $2.03 per diluted share. Net income included an other mark-to-market of $196 million, which excludes fair value of excess spread accretion of $4 million. Excluding other mark-to-market and other items, the Company reported pretax operating income of $17 million. Other items included $3 million in severance charges, $3 million in transaction costs related to the acquisition of our new default servicing business, $1 million in facilities consolidation costs, and $1 million in intangible amortization.

Chairman and CEO Jay Bray commented, “The company’s originations and servicing teams continue to do a great job with execution. I was extremely pleased to see us grow the servicing portfolio to $804 billion, welcome the team from our new default servicing platform, rebranded to Right Path Servicing, to our family, buy back $100 million in stock, and end the quarter with exceptional capital and liquidity.”

Chris Marshall, Vice Chairman and President added, “In addition to generating portfolio growth, servicing enjoyed higher profitability in the second quarter thanks to the rise in interest rates, while Originations did a fantastic job with customer retention, achieving and then exceeding our strategic recapture target and helping borrowers achieve their financial goals with cash-out refinancings.”

Servicing

The Servicing segment is focused on providing a best-in-class home loan experience for our 3.9 million customers while simultaneously strengthening asset performance for investors. In the second quarter, Servicing recorded pretax income of $226 million, including other mark-to-market of $196 million. The forward servicing portfolio ended the quarter at $804 billion in UPB. Servicing generated pretax operating income, excluding other mark-to-market, of $30 million. At quarter end, the carrying value of the MSR was $6,151 million equivalent to 155 bps of MSR UPB.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes non-GAAP 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 operating 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 notable items 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. Pretax operating income (loss) in the servicing segment 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. Pretax operating income (loss) in each segment also eliminates, as applicable, transition and integration costs, gains (losses) on sales of fixed assets, certain settlement costs that are not considered normal operational matters, intangible amortization, and other adjustments based on the facts and circumstances that would provide investors a supplemental means for evaluating the Company’s core operating performance. Return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) is computed by dividing net income by average tangible common equity (also known as tangible book value). Tangible common equity equals total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Management believes that ROTCE is a useful financial measure because it measures the performance of a business consistently and enables investors and others to assess the Company’s use of equity. Tangible book value is defined as stockholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Our management believes tangible book value is useful to investors because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets.
