“PennyMac Financial produced an annualized operating return on equity of 15%1 in the fourth quarter, marking the culmination of another outstanding year for the company and highlighting the strength of our balanced business model,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “The net loss in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by a one-time accrual related to the award in our long-running arbitration with Black Knight. While we disagree with the final ruling, we are very pleased to retain ownership of our industry-leading servicing system, as well as the ability to utilize it as we see fit to benefit our customers and stakeholders.”

 

Mr. Spector continued, “2023 was one of the more challenging origination markets in recent history, with industry volumes down approximately 40 percent from 2022 and unit originations at their lowest levels since 1990. However, Pennymac, through its multi-channel production platform, produced nearly $100 billion in UPB of mortgage loans, down only 9 percent from 2022, demonstrating both our strong access to the purchase market and our ability to profitably support our customers and business partners. These production volumes continued to drive the organic growth of our servicing portfolio, which ended the year at more than $600 billion in UPB, up 10 percent from the end of last year. Our scaled and growing servicing business is key to the success we have achieved, driving earnings in higher interest rate environments and future opportunities as our customer base continues to expand.”

 

Mr. Spector concluded, “I am extraordinarily proud of what we accomplished in 2023 and I am even more excited about PennyMac Financial’s future. Our long track record of strong operational and financial performance is unique in the mortgage industry and has been driven by the resilience of our balanced business model with industry-leading positions in both production and servicing, as well as our strong capital and risk management disciplines. I believe we are the most well-positioned company in the industry with proprietary, industry-leading technology, a strong balance sheet, and a growing population of servicing customers that stand to benefit from the products and services we offer to best fit their home ownership needs.”

Production Segment

 

The Production segment includes the correspondent acquisition of newly originated government-insured and certain conventional conforming 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 $26.7 billion in UPB, $24.2 billion of which was for its own account, and $2.5 billion of which was fee-based fulfillment activity for PMT. Correspondent locks for PFSI and direct lending IRLCs totaled $25.6 billion in UPB, up 2 percent from the prior quarter and 34 percent from the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

Production segment pretax income was $39.4 million, up from pretax income of $25.2 million in the prior quarter and a pretax loss of $9.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Production segment revenue totaled $176.5 million, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter and up 34 percent from the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase from the fourth quarter of 2022 was driven primarily by higher net gains on loans held for sale due to higher volumes and margins.

Production  $124,267   $127,821   $84,708 
Servicing  $24,498   $23,553   $17,205 

 

PennyMac Financial performs fulfillment services for certain 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 $4.9 million in the fourth quarter, down 11 percent from the prior quarter and 60 percent from the fourth quarter of 2022. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was driven by lower conventional acquisition volumes for PMT’s account.

 

Net interest income in the fourth quarter totaled $8.2 million, up from $2.5 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $73.4 million, up from $62.2 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense totaled $65.2 million, up from $59.6 million in the prior quarter, both due to higher volumes and higher average note rates on newly originated loans.

 

Production segment expenses were $137.1 million, down 8 percent from the prior quarter and 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2022. Production expenses, net of loan origination expense, were lower than the prior quarter primarily due to lower compensation accruals related to financial performance.

Total loans serviced  $607,216,769   $589,392,888   $551,674,682 

 

Servicing segment pretax loss was $95.5 million compared to pretax income of $101.2 million in the prior quarter and $75.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Servicing segment pretax loss in the fourth quarter included a non-recurring arbitration accrual of $158.4 million. Servicing segment net revenues totaled $175.8 million, down from $217.1 million in the prior quarter and $199.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was driven primarily by lower net loan servicing fees and net interest expense in the fourth quarter versus net interest income in the prior quarter.

 

Revenue from net loan servicing fees totaled $162.3 million, down from $185.4 million in the prior quarter primarily driven by increased net valuation related losses and partially offset by increased loan servicing fees due to a larger servicing portfolio and lower realization of cash flows. Net loan servicing fee revenues included $402.5 million in loan servicing fees, reduced by $164.3 million from the realization of MSR cash flows. Net valuation-related losses totaled $75.9 million, and included MSR fair value losses of $370.7 million driven by the decline in mortgage interest rates, and hedging gains of $294.8 million.

Interest income was $91.6 million, down from $104.4 million in the prior quarter due to decreased placement fees on custodial balances from seasonally lower average balances. Interest expense was $105.3 million, up from $97.2 million in the prior quarter due to higher average balances of debt outstanding during the quarter.
