“PennyMac Financial’s results in the fourth quarter demonstrate the earnings power of our balanced mortgage banking model, with pretax income from our servicing business exceeding that from our production business,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “The strong fourth quarter also culminated another year of outstanding operational performance for the company. In fact, Pennymac’s total production for the year, including acquisitions made by PMT, was a record $234 billion in unpaid principal balance, up nearly 20 percent from the prior year. These production volumes led to servicing portfolio growth of 19 percent despite elevated prepayment activity throughout the year, and we ended 2021 with a servicing portfolio of approximately $510 billion in unpaid principal balance with more than 2.1 million customers. 2021 was also a year of exceptional financial performance, as PennyMac Financial delivered a return on equity of 29 percent and returned more than $1 billion in capital to stockholders through repurchases and cash dividends.”

 

Mr. Spector continued, “Market share in our most profitable channel, consumer direct, has increased meaningfully since last year, which will improve the long-term earnings profile of our production business over time. Our newly evolved brand and marketing focus along with deployment of transformational technologies in our direct lending channels are key components of multi-year investments to achieve our medium-term goals.  At the same time, as the market is transitioning to a higher rate environment with elevated levels of competition, we will remain disciplined, taking advantage of our operational scale, while staying focused on profitability and shareholder returns.”

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 $47.1 billion in UPB, $29.9 billion of which was for its own account, and $17.2 billion of which was fee-based fulfillment activity for PMT.

 

Correspondent government and direct lending IRLCs totaled $33.6 billion in UPB, down 10 percent from the prior quarter and 12 percent from the fourth quarter of 2020.

 

Production segment pretax income was $106.5 million, down 68 percent from the prior quarter and 81 percent from the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily due to lower volumes and margins resulting from a transitioning mortgage market and a return to more normal seasonal trends. Production segment revenue totaled $427.7 million, down 33 percent from the prior quarter and 48 percent from the fourth quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was driven by a $181.7 million decrease in net gains on loans held for sale primarily as a result of lower margins and lock volumes.

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

Production  $314,826   $496,568   $659,915 
Servicing  $185,832   $130,186   $199,146 

 

(1) Net of cash hedging results                        

 

Loan origination fees for the quarter totaled $88.2 million, down 7 percent from the prior quarter and 6 percent from the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease from the prior quarter was driven by lower production volumes.

 

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 $20.2 million in the fourth quarter, down 54 percent from the prior quarter and 72 percent from the fourth quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in fulfillment fee revenue was driven by lower conventional acquisition volumes and a decrease in the weighted average fulfillment fee. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate decrease reflects discretionary reductions to facilitate successful loan acquisitions by PMT in a market impacted by significant levels of competition for conventional loans, including from the GSEs.

 

Net interest income totaled $4.3 million, down from $4.7 million in the prior quarter. Interest income in the fourth quarter totaled $40.0 million, up from $33.3 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense totaled $35.7 million, up from $28.6 million in the prior quarter, due to a higher balance of loans held-for-sale during the quarter.

Production segment expenses were $321.2 million, up 4 percent from the prior quarter driven by our brand and technology initiatives. Production segment expenses were up 28 percent from the fourth quarter of 2020 as a result of higher volumes in the consumer direct channel.

 

Servicing Segment

 

The Servicing segment includes income from owned MSRs, subservicing and special servicing activities. Servicing segment pretax income was $126.1 million, up from $8.0 million in the prior quarter and $42.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Servicing segment net revenues totaled $255.7 million, up from $136.8 million in the prior quarter and $207.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily driven by a $55.6 million increase in net gains on loans held for sale and higher net loan servicing fees.

 

Revenue from net loan servicing fees totaled $94.7 million, up from $33.6 million in the prior quarter primarily driven by lower net valuation related declines and increased loan servicing fees due to a larger servicing portfolio. Revenue from loan servicing fees included $287.9 million in servicing fees, reduced by $97.0 million from the realization of MSR cash flows. Net valuation-related losses totaled $96.1 million, and included MSR fair value declines of $58.4 million, and hedging losses of $37.7 million. The decline in MSR fair value was comprised of $28.1 million in fair value declines due to changes in interest rates, primarily due to a significant flattening of the yield curve and $30.3 million in other valuation declines, primarily due to increases to short-term prepayment projections. The hedging losses were largely driven by elevated hedge costs during the quarter.

Net change in fair value of MSRs and MSLs   (193,155)   (234,128)   (236,244)
Net loan servicing fees  $94,733   $33,630   $26,496 

 

(1) Includes contractually-specified servicing fees                        

 

Servicing segment revenue included $185.8 million in net gains on loans held for sale related to reperforming government-insured and guaranteed loans purchased out of Ginnie Mae securitizations, or early buy out loans (EBOs). These gains were up from $130.2 million in the prior quarter and down from $199.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. 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 $25.2 million, versus net interest expense of $27.1 million in the prior quarter and $18.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Interest income was $28.9 million, down from $35.0 million in the prior quarter driven by a decrease in average EBO balances held for sale. Interest expense was $54.1 million, down from $62.1 million in the prior quarter driven by a decrease in average balances of financing for EBO loans.

 

Servicing segment expenses totaled $129.6 million, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter.

 

The total servicing portfolio grew to $509.7 billion in UPB at December 31, 2021, an increase of 3 percent from September 30, 2021 and 19 percent from December 31, 2020. PennyMac Financial subservices and conducts special servicing for $221.9 billion in UPB, an increase of 2 percent from September 30, 2021 and 27 percent from December 31, 2020. PennyMac Financial’s owned MSR portfolio grew to $287.8 billion in UPB, an increase of 4 percent from September 30, 2021 and 14 percent from December 31, 2020. Mortgage servicing liabilities decreased substantially from September 30, 2021 due to significant reperformance of previously-delinquent loans sold to third parties.
