Guild Holdings Company (NYSE: GHLD) (“Guild” or the “Company”), a growth-oriented mortgage company that employs a relationship-based loan sourcing strategy to execute on its mission of delivering the promise of homeownership, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Year-Over-Year Highlights

• Grew net income to $160.6 million compared to a loss of $13.0 million
• Purchase originations represented $3.6 billion, or 37% of overall loan volume
• Adjusted EBITDA increased to $144.3 million from $82.0 million

“I am pleased to report another quarter of strong financial performance, with 70% year-over-year growth in funded origination volumes and meaningful growth in net revenue. We believe our results reinforce our differentiated business model focused on purchase lending, which has generated more consistent origination volumes and higher returns across interest rate cycles,” stated Mary Ann McGarry, Chief Executive Officer. “Looking ahead, we remain well-positioned to grow given our focus on purchase loans in the retail channel, an expanding geographic footprint, and our scale-enabled servicing platform. While rising interest rates, slowing refinancing activity, low supply of homes, and contracting margins will impact Guild and the entire mortgage industry, we will continue to focus on creating shareholder value across all cycles and extending our history of profitable growth.”

Other Highlights Subsequent to Quarter End

• The Board of Directors of Guild declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share on its Class A and Class B common stock. The $1.00 per share dividend will be paid on or about May 28, 2021 to stockholders of record on May 21, 2021.
• On May 11, 2021, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Residential Mortgage Services, Inc. (“RMS”), a high growth retail originator focused in the Northeast. Given RMS’ focus on the retail and purchase market, it is highly complementary to Guild. The acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021 and be accretive to earnings in 2021.

First Quarter Results:

• Originated 37% of closed loan origination volume from purchase business, compared to the Mortgage Bankers Association average of 29%
• Grew gain on sale margins on originations by 9% year-over-year to 457 bps
• Gain on sale margins on pull-through adjusted locked volume grew 61% year-over-year to 480 bps
• Held refinance recapture to 69%

First Quarter Origination Segment Results
Origination segment net income increased 133% year-over-year to $160.1 million from $68.8 million primarily driven by increased revenue earned from loan origination fees and gain on sale of loans. Gain on sale margins on originations increased approximately 9% year-over-year to 457 bps. Gain on sale margins on pull-through adjusted locked volume increased 61% year-over-year to 480 bps. Total pull-through adjusted locked volume in the first quarter was $9.3 billion. The segment’s expenses were $287.5 million compared to $172.2 million in the prior-year quarter primarily due to an increase in salaries, incentive compensation and benefits expenses paid to our origination teams. Expenses improved to 64% of net revenue compared to 71% in the prior-year quarter.

First Quarter Servicing Segment Results
Net income attributed to the servicing segment was $67.1 million compared to a loss of $79.3 million in the prior year. The Company’s in-house servicing portfolio grew 25% year-over-year to $62.9 billion, with loan servicing and other fees growing 17% to $45.2 million. The Company retained servicing rights of 94% for total loans sold in the first quarter of 2021.

Net revenue totaled $79.9 million compared to negative $69.0 million in the prior-year quarter driven by adjustments to the fair value of the Company’s Mortgage Servicing Rights, which increased to $35.7 million in the first quarter 2021, compared to a decrease of $108.6 million in the prior year. Guild recaptured 69% of refinance volumes as new originations, which aligns with Guild’s symbiotic business model. Servicing expenses were up 24% year-over-year due to an increase in salaries and benefits resulting from the hiring of additional employees throughout 2020 primarily to support the impact of the CARES Act.

As of March 31, 2021, approximately 2.9% of the loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio had elected the forbearance option compared to the industry average of 4.9%, as reported by the Mortgage Bankers Association. As of April 30, 2021, approximately 2.7% of the loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio had elected the forbearance option compared to the mortgage industry’s average of 4.5%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose certain financial measures for our consolidated and operating segment results on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our use of each of the following non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures, or reconcile them to the comparable GAAP financial measures, in the same way

Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as earnings before the change in the fair value measurements related to our MSRs, contingent liabilities related to completed acquisitions due to changes in valuation assumptions and stock-based compensation. The fair value of our MSRs is estimated based on a projection of expected future cash flows and the fair value of our contingent liabilities related to completed acquisitions is estimated based on a projection of expected future earn-out payments. Adjusted Net Income is also adjusted by applying an implied tax effect to these adjustments. The Company excludes the change in the fair value of its MSRs due to changes in model inputs and assumptions from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes this non-cash, non-realized adjustment to net revenue is not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation but rather reflects changes in model inputs and assumptions (e.g., discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions) that impact the carrying value of the Company’s MSRs from period to period. The Company also excludes stock-based compensation because the Company believes it is a non-cash expense that is not reflective of its core operations or indicative of its ongoing operations.

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest (without adjustment for net warehouse interest related to loan fundings and payoff interest related to loan prepayments), taxes, depreciation and amortization exclusive of any change in the fair value measurements of the MSRs due to valuation assumptions, contingent liabilities from business acquisitions and stock-based compensation. The Company excludes the change in the fair value of its MSRs due to changes in model inputs and assumptions from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes this non-cash, non-realized adjustment to net revenue is not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation but rather reflects changes in model inputs and assumptions (e.g., discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions) that impact the carrying value of the Company’s MSRs from period to period. The Company also excludes stock-based compensation because the Company believes it is a non-cash expense that is not reflective of its core operations or indicative of its ongoing operations.

Adjusted Return on Equity. We define Adjusted Return on Equity as Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period. For periods of less than one year, Adjusted Return on Equity is shown on an annualized basis.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to evaluate operating results exclusive of fair value adjustments that are not indicative of management’s operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures rather than net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, and return on equity, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for Adjusted Return on Equity. These limitations include that these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and many of the adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and may be reflected in the Company’s financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
