Grounding quotes
  • “Our fourth quarter and full year results again demonstrate the effectiveness of our strategy and the strength of our execution. We delivered record earnings through sustained growth and profitability that enabled a significant partial release of our deferred tax valuation allowance.”
  • “In 2025, our originations team delivered 44% year-over-year volume growth, versus 18% for the overall industry.”
  • “Overall, we had a great 2025. And I am proud of our team and what they accomplished. Considering the macroeconomic environment, our liquidity position, and our continuing investment in talent and technology, we are excited about the potential for our business in 2026.”
  • “Love the momentum we have there. I think the subservicing business has always been fiercely competitive. Cenlar has been a competitor in the marketplace for years. And they are formidable, expecting to continue to be a formidable competitor. But I think this creates net-net opportunity to grow. Bottom line.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Record full-year net income of $185 million with diluted EPS of $21.46 and ROE of 35%
  • Book value per share increased to $74, up $17 year over year
  • Originations volume grew 44% year-over-year versus 18% for the overall industry
  • $85 billion in total servicing additions in 2025, including $45 billion in subservicing
  • Subservicing additions of $48 billion in 2025 with another $28 billion expected to board in 1H 2026, plus eight new clients and eight agreements under negotiation
  • Closed reverse mortgage MSR sale to Finance of America Reverse, expected to free up roughly $100 million of capital, and authorized a $10 million share repurchase program

Risks & pressure points

  • 2026 adjusted ROE guidance of 13%–15% is below the 17% adjusted ROE achieved in 2025
  • Q4 results included approximately $14 million in incremental MSR runoff from FHA loan modification rule changes and the government shutdown
  • FHA rule changes and government shutdown reduced 2025 adjusted ROE by roughly three percentage points
  • Reverse mortgage business repositioned through sale to Finance of America Reverse, simplifying/exiting that segment

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“For 2026, we are targeting an adjusted ROE range of 13% to 15%, which is the equivalent to 16% to 18% before the increase in our equity from the deferred tax valuation allowance release.” Glen Messina, CEO
“Our second half subservicing additions of $33 billion were over two and a half times the first half level, driven by new relationships, our existing clients, and synthetic subservicing with our MSR capital partners. And we expect that momentum to continue into 2026, with projected subservicing additions of $28 billion from these clients.” Glen Messina, CEO
