Bethesda, MD – November 4, 2015Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) (the “Company”) reported today third quarter 2015 net income of $20.3 million or $0.66 per diluted share, a 34% increase from third quarter 2014 net income of $15.1 million, or $0.47 per diluted share.  Total revenues were $120.8 million for the third quarter 2015, a 23% increase over the third quarter 2014.  Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter 2015 was $31.0 million compared to $20.7  million for the third quarter 2014, a 50% increase.

 

"Walker & Dunlop is benefitting from the wave of commercial real estate refinancing and the heightened volume of commercial real estate investment taking place today," said Willy Walker, Chairman and CEO of Walker & Dunlop.  "The strength of our GSE lending and record brokered originations, together with our new investment sales platform, brought our total transaction volume for the quarter to an all-time high of $4.9 billion.  We achieved this record volume as the amount of multifamily debt outstanding rose above $1 trillion for the first time ever, making it by far the largest commercial real estate asset class in the United States.  We head towards 2016 with considerable macroeconomic tailwinds, one of the very best teams in the industry, and a proven track record of growth both organically and through acquisition."

 

OPERATING RESULTS

 

TOTAL REVENUES were $120.8 million for the third quarter 2015 compared to $98.1 million for the third quarter 2014, a 23% increase. The increase was driven by the 58%  growth in total transaction volume, which included a 13% increase in lending with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Within the components of revenues, mortgage banking gains increased 12% to $70.8 million, servicing fees increased 17% to $29.3 million, net warehouse interest income increased 36% to $6.9 million and other revenues increased 254% to $12.6 million.  The increase in other revenues was driven by  $4.7 million in revenue earned on investment sales volume,  $4.3 million in prepayment fee income and $3.0 million in assumption fees received during the third quarter 2015.

 

GAINS FROM MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES for the third quarter 2015 were $70.8 million compared to $63.3 million for the third quarter 2014, a 12% increase.   This increase was primarily driven by the substantial growth in loan originations coupled with an increase in the weighted average servicing fee on Fannie Mae loans originated during the quarter. LOAN ORIGINATION FEES were $37.0 million for the third quarter 2015 compared to $35.4 million for the third quarter 2014, a 4% increase. GAINS ATTRIBUTABLE TO MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS (“MSRs”) were $33.8 million for the third quarter 2015 compared to $27.8 million for the third quarter 2014, a 21% increase.

NET WAREHOUSE INTEREST INCOME, which includes interest earned on loans held for sale and our on balance sheet interim loan portfolio, was $6.9 million for the third quarter 2015, a 36% increase over $5.0 million for the third quarter 2014.  The increase was driven by the growth in the average balance of loans held for sale and loans held for investment.

 

TOTAL EXPENSES were $87.3 million for the third quarter 2015 compared to $73.6 million for the third quarter 2014, a 19% increase.  The increase in total expenses was primarily due to an increase in personnel costs on the strength of our total transaction volume, as well as an increase in amortization and depreciation expense. Personnel expense for the third quarter 2015 was $49.3 million, an increase of 18% from $41.9 million for the third quarter 2014Although fixed compensation costs have increased following the acquisitions of certain assets of Johnson Capital and Engler Financial Group, and our variable compensation costs have increased due to greater commission, personnel expense as a percentage of total revenues decreased to 41%  in the third quarter 2015 from 43% during the third quarter 2014.  Amortization and depreciation expense increased $5.8 million due to a combination of increased amortization expense associated with the growth of our servicing portfolio, and a $2.9 million increase in write-offs associated with the early prepayment of loans in our servicing portfolio.

 

OPERATING MARGIN was 28% for the third quarter 2015 up from 25% for the third quarter 2014.  The increase in operating margin was driven by the scale of our loan origination business, as total revenues grew 23% while total expenses grew only 19%.

 

ADJUSTED EBITDA was $31.0 million for the third quarter 2015 compared to $20.7 million for the third quarter 2014, a 50% increase. The increase was driven by significant growth in our cash earnings such as servicing fees, investment sales revenues, prepayment fee income, loan assumption fees and net interest income, partially offset by the aforementioned increase in personnel expenses.

 

ANNUALIZED RETURN ON EQUITY was 18% for the third quarter 2015 up from 15% for the third quarter 2014, driven by the year-over-year increase in net income.

 

TOTAL TRANSACTION VOLUME

 

TOTAL TRANSACTION VOLUME, which includes loan originations and investment sales volume, was $4.9 billion.

 

LOAN ORIGINATION VOLUME was $4.1 billion for the third quarter 2015 compared to $3.1 billion for the third quarter 2014, a 32% increase.  Loan originations with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were both $1.3  billion representing increases of 7% and 19% from the third quarter 2014, respectively.  Brokered loan originations totaled $1.3 billion,  the group’s largest quarterly volume in the Company’s history and a  146% increase from the third quarter 2014.  HUD loan originations totaled $109.8 million, a 32% decrease from the third quarter 2014. Interim loan originations totaled $30.0 million, a 64%  decrease from the third quarter 2014. Originations for the Company’s CMBS partnership were $56.7 million for the third quarter 2015 compared to $49.8 million for the same quarter last year, a 14% increase.  

 

INVESTMENT SALES VOLUME was $824.7 million for the third quarter 2015, its first full quarter operating on the Company’s platform.

 

SERVICING PORTFOLIO

 

The SERVICING PORTFOLIO totaled $47.8  billion at September 30, 2015, a 16% increase from $41.2 billion at September 30, 2014. During the preceding 12 months, $6.6 billion in net loans were added to the servicing portfolio, the majority of which were Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans. The portfolio maintained a weighted average remaining term of 10 years and had a WEIGHTED AVERAGE SERVICING FEE of 25 basis points. SERVICING FEES were $29.3 million for the third quarter 2015 compared to $25.0 million for the third quarter 2014, a 17% increase, driven by the growth in the portfolio.

 

CREDIT QUALITY AND RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS

 

The Company’s AT RISK SERVICING PORTFOLIO, which is comprised of loans subject to a defined risk-sharing formula, was $18.8  billion at September 30, 2015 compared to $16.1 billion at September 30, 2014.  The Company's at risk servicing portfolio continues to demonstrate exceptional credit performance, as there were no 60+ DAY DELINQUENCIES at September 30, 2015 or 2014.  

 

2


 

THE PROVISION FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS associated with loans in the at risk servicing portfolio was zero for the third quarter 2015 compared to $1.2 million for the third quarter 2014. There were no NET WRITE-OFFS for the third quarter 2015 compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter 2014. Net write-offs represent the settlement of the Company’s guaranty obligations related to losses provisioned for in prior periods.

 

The on-balance sheet INTERIM LOAN PORTFOLIO, which is comprised of loans for which we have full risk of loss, was $347.3 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $207.2 million at September 30, 2014.  Although all of our interim loans are current and performing, the Company provides a general reserve for potential losses.  For the third quarter 2015, the provision for loan losses was $0.1 million compared to a  $0.3 million provision for loan losses  for the third quarterthird quarter 2014.

 

YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS

 

TOTAL TRANSACTION VOLUME for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $13.1 billion compared to $7.1 billion for the same period last year, an 84% increase.

 

TOTAL REVENUES for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $346.8 million compared to $248.2 million for the same period last year, a 40% increase.  The increase in total revenues was largely driven by a 68% increase in LOAN ORIGINATION VOLUME from $7.1 billion to $11.9 billion, which also contributed to a 42% increase in GAINS FROM MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES to $213.5 million. Total revenues also benefited from increases in servicing fees,  net interest income received on both loans held for sale and the interim loan portfolio, investment sales revenue from our newly acquired business, and prepayment fee income associated with the early payoff of loans in our servicing portfolio.  

 

TOTAL EXPENSES for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $245.3 million compared to $190.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of 29%.  The increase in total expenses was due primarily to increased personnel expenses and amortization and depreciation costs. Personnel expenses have increased following our acquisitions of certain assets of Johnson Capital and Engler Financial Group and as a result of greater commissions and bonus expenses resulting from strong total transaction volume and financial performance. Personnel expenses as a percentage of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 39% compared to 40% for the same period last year. Amortization and depreciation increased $16.4 million due to increased amortization of the growing servicing portfolio, and an additional $8.0 million from the write-off of loans in that portfolio following early payoff.  

 

OPERATING MARGIN for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 29% compared to operating margin of 23% for the same period last year. Increased scale in our business year over year provided a lift to operating margin, as revenues have grown 40% while expenses have increased only 29%.

 

NET INCOME for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $61.7 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, compared to net income of $35.2 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the same period last year, a 75% increase.

 

ADJUSTED EBITDA was $95.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $61.4 million for the same period last year, a 55% increase.  The increase was driven by significant growth in our cash earnings such as origination fees, servicing fees, investment sales revenue, prepayment fee income, loan assumption fees and net interest income, partially offset by the aforementioned increase in personnel expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company uses adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. The presentation of adjusted EBITDA financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, readers should use adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest expense on our term loan facility, and amortization and depreciation, adjusted for provision for credit losses net of write-offs, stock-based incentive compensation charges, and non-cash revenues such as gains attributable to MSRs. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for adjusted EBITDA may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges that are used to determine compliance with financial covenants.

 

We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans, and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. We believe that this non-GAAP measure, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provides useful information to investors by offering:

 

·

the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s on-going operating results;

 

·

the ability to better identify trends in the Company’s underlying business and perform related trend analyses; and

 

·

a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business.

 

We believe that adjusted EBITDA has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that adjusted EBITDA should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with net income. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income. We compensate for the limitations of this non-GAAP financial measure by relying upon GAAP results to gain a complete picture of our performance.

 

For more information on adjusted EBITDA, refer to the section of this press release below titled “Adjusted Financial Metric Reconciliation to GAAP.”

(1)

At risk servicing portfolio is defined as the balance of Fannie Mae DUS loans subject to the risk-sharing formula described below, as well as an immaterial balance of Freddie Mac and GNMA-HUD loans on which we share in the risk of loss. Use of the at-risk portfolio provides for comparability of the full risk-sharing and modified risk-sharing loans because the provision and allowance for risk-sharing obligations are based on the at risk balances of the associated loans. Accordingly, we have presented the key statistics as a percentage of the at risk portfolio.

 

For example, a $15 million loan with 50% DUS risk-sharing has the same potential risk exposure as a $7.5 million loan with full DUS risk-sharing. Accordingly, if the $15 million loan with 50% DUS risk-sharing was to default, the Company would view the overall loss as a percentage of the at risk balance, or $7.5 million, to ensure comparability between all risk-sharing obligations. To date, substantially all of the risk-sharing obligations that we have settled have been from full risk-sharing loans.

 

(2)

Represents the maximum loss we would incur under our risk-sharing obligations if all of the loans we service, for which we retain some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. The maximum exposure is not representative of the actual loss we would incur.
