“In the third quarter, PennyMac Financial once again delivered strong financial performance,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “Meaningful income contributions from both of our production and servicing segments led to an annualized return on equity of 16 percent and growth in book value per share, despite mortgage rates climbing to their highest levels in more than a decade. Our management team’s long-standing commitment to disciplined liquidity and capital management provides us the opportunity to repurchase shares at attractive prices well-below book value while also introducing new technologies like the recently-released POWER+ platform to our broker partners.”

Mr. Spector continued, “We remain focused on the broader challenges facing our industry in the near-term. We will remain vigilant in our risk management disciplines and continue to actively pursue opportunities to further improve efficiency across our businesses. I continue to believe Pennymac Financial is strategically well-positioned in the mortgage market given our strong levels of capital, our large and growing servicing portfolio, and our efficient and low-cost operating platform run by a best-in-class management team.”

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 $26.0 billion in UPB, $15.8 billion of which was for its own account, and $10.2 billion of which was fee-based fulfillment activity for PMT. Correspondent government and direct lending IRLCs totaled $18.0 billion in UPB, up 1 percent from the prior quarter and down 52 percent from the third quarter of 2021 due to the significant reduction in the size of the overall origination market.

Production segment pretax income was $38.6 million, up from $9.7 million in the prior quarter and down from $330.6 million in the third quarter of 2021. Production segment revenue totaled $199.5 million, down 11 percent from the prior quarter and 69 percent from the third quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was driven by a $12.2 million decrease in net gains on loans held for sale primarily driven by the smaller origination market.

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 $18.4 million in the third quarter, down 11 percent from the prior quarter and 58 percent from the third quarter of 2021. The decrease from the prior quarter was driven by a lower fulfillment fee rate due to the competitive mortgage market while the decrease from the third quarter of 2021 was primarily driven by the decrease in conventional acquisition volumes.

Net interest income totaled $5.9 million, down from $9.2 million in the prior quarter. Interest income in the third quarter totaled $30.8 million, up from $28.4 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense totaled $25.0 million, up from $19.2 million in the prior quarter, both due to increasing interest rates.

Production segment expenses were $160.9 million, down 25 percent from the prior quarter and 48 percent from the third quarter of 2021. The decline from the prior quarter was driven by lower volumes in the direct lending channels and the expense management initiatives announced in prior quarters.

Servicing Segment

The Servicing segment includes income from owned MSRs, subservicing and special servicing activities. Servicing segment pretax income was $145.3 million, down from $167.6 million in the prior quarter and up from $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Servicing segment net revenues totaled $266.5 million, down from $278.6 million in the prior quarter and up from $136.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by a $41.7 million decrease in net gains on loans held for sale related to early buyout (EBO) activity and was partially offset by a $24.6 million decrease in net interest expense.

Revenue from net loan servicing fees totaled $243.7 million, up slightly from $238.4 million in the prior quarter as increased servicing fees from a larger servicing portfolio and higher net valuation-related gains were largely offset by increased realization of cash flows, due to higher average MSR balances during the quarter. Revenue from loan servicing fees included $313.1 million in servicing fees, reduced by $141.8 million from the realization of MSR cash flows. Net valuation-related gains totaled $72.4 million, and included MSR fair value gains of $237.2 million and hedging declines of $164.7 million primarily driven by increasing interest rates during the period.

(1) Includes contractually-specified servicing fees

Servicing segment revenue included $28.0 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 $69.7 million in the prior quarter and $130.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 as a result of lower volumes and redelivery gains due to higher interest rates.

Net interest expense totaled $5.8 million, versus net interest expense of $30.4 million in the prior quarter and $27.1 million in the third quarter of 2021. Interest income was $52.2 million, up from $21.5 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 $58.0 million, up from $51.9 million in the prior quarter also due to higher interest rates.

Servicing segment expenses totaled $121.2 million, up from $111.0 million in the prior quarter. The third quarter included $3.2 million in reversals for credit losses on active loans versus $21.5 million in the prior quarter.

The total servicing portfolio grew to $539.1 billion in UPB at September 30, 2022, an increase of 2 percent from June 30, 2022 and 9 percent from September 30, 2021. PennyMac Financial subservices $231.0 billion in UPB, up 2 percent from June 30, 2022 and 6 percent from September 30, 2021. PennyMac Financial’s owned MSR portfolio grew to $308.1 billion in UPB, an increase of 2 percent from June 30, 2022 and 11 percent from September 30, 2021.

Pretax income for the Investment Management segment was $1.6 million, up from $0.2 million in the prior quarter and $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Base management fees from PMT were $7.7 million, down from $7.9 million in the prior quarter and $8.8 million in the third quarter of 2021 due to the decline in AUM. No performance incentive fees were earned in the third quarter.

Investment Management segment expenses totaled $8.7 million, down 8 percent from the prior quarter and essentially unchanged from the third quarter of 2021.

Consolidated Expenses

Total expenses were $290.8 million, down 13 percent from the prior quarter and 35 percent from the third quarter of 2021. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by lower production volumes in the direct lending channels and the expense management initiatives announced in prior quarters.
