“PennyMac Financial delivered another strong quarter,” said President and CEO David Spector, “with book value per share increasing 15% on record production levels. PFSI’s third quarter momentum carried into the fourth quarter with net income near record levels and producing a return on equity of 56% for the quarter. Our direct lending channels showed incredible growth with consumer direct and broker direct originations growing 27% and 29%, respectively. Our modest market share in both of these channels provides ample room for growth and with foundational investments made in technology and back office fulfillment, we are well positioned to scale those businesses. As we grow our origination business we are organically increasing our servicing portfolio, which ended the year at over $426 billion in unpaid principal balance. This portfolio growth contributed to strong servicing income and, when excluding valuation-related items, resulted in record pretax income for the fourth quarter. All of this while helping thousands of borrowers who were affected by COVID-19 exit successfully from their forbearance plans.”

Mr. Spector continued, “The outstanding fourth quarter was the culmination of a remarkable year for PennyMac Financial. Funding nearly $200 billion in unpaid principal balance and ending the year with a servicing portfolio of nearly 2 million customers, 2020 was certainly a record year for PFSI. We also successfully protected our asset values as our disciplined hedging and risk management strategy largely offset the $1 billion write-down on the fair value of the MSR. Additionally, we granted approximately 291 thousand homeowners forbearance plans in 2020 and have helped, or are in the process of helping, approximately 145 thousand borrowers successfully emerge from their forbearance plans. This was all done while the vast majority of our employees were working from home for most of the year. I am incredibly thankful and proud of the over 6,000 PennyMac employees who managed through the challenges of the pandemic to deliver extraordinary results. We believe we are well positioned to continue our success and expect the Company’s exceptional financial performance to persist through 2021.”

Mr. Spector concluded, “All of us at PennyMac are grateful for the many kind thoughts and tributes we have received since announcing the sad passing of Stan Kurland, our founder and Chairman. While Stan had retired from day-to-day responsibilities at PennyMac, he remained a trusted advisor and dear friend. His leadership helped lay the foundation for PennyMac’s long-term success which included building and developing a deep management team that carries on his legacy.”

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 $69.4 billion in UPB, $31.4 billion of which was for its own account, and $38.0 billion of which was fee-based fulfillment activity for PMT. Correspondent government and direct lending IRLCs totaled $38.3 billion in UPB, up 5 percent from the prior quarter and 64 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019.

Production segment pretax income was $572.6 million, down 7 percent from the prior quarter and up 182 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019. Production revenue totaled $824.9 million, down 2 percent from the prior quarter and up 134 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by a $40.9 million decrease in net gains on loans held for sale. The decrease was driven by lower production margins and was offset by a $17.9 million increase in loan origination fees and a $17.8 million increase in fulfillment fees, driven by record volumes across all channels.

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

(1) Net of cash hedging results

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 $72.6 million in the fourth quarter, up 32 percent from the prior quarter and up 25 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019. The quarter-over-quarter increase in fulfillment fee revenue was driven primarily by a 39 percent increase in acquisition volumes by PMT slightly offset by a decrease in the weighted average fulfillment fee rate to 19 basis points from 20 basis points in the prior quarter.

Net interest expense totaled $1.3 million, down from net interest income of $7.7 million in the prior quarter and net interest income of $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Production segment expenses were $252.3 million, up 12 percent from the prior quarter and 68 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019, as a result of record volumes across all channels.

Servicing Segment

The Servicing segment includes income from owned MSRs, subservicing and special servicing activities. Servicing segment pretax income was $42.0 million, versus pretax income of $111.7 million in the prior quarter and a pretax loss of $5.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Servicing segment net revenues totaled $207.6 million, down 23 percent from the prior quarter and up 65 percent from the fourth quarter of 2019. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was driven by lower net loan servicing fees.

Revenue from net loan servicing fees totaled $26.5 million, down from $132.8 million in the prior quarter, as a result of higher net valuation related losses. Revenue from net loan servicing fees included $262.7 million in servicing fees, reduced by $89.6 million from the realization of MSR cash flows. Net valuation-related losses totaled $146.6 million, and included MSR fair value losses of $44.2 million, and hedging and other losses of $102.5 million.

Servicing segment revenue included $199.1 million in net gains on loans held for sale related to reperforming government-insured and guaranteed loans, up significantly from $154.4 million in the prior quarter and $29.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, as a result of increased loss mitigation activity on loans emerging from forbearance. These previously delinquent loans were purchased out of Ginnie Mae securitizations and 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 $18.2 million, versus net interest expense of $17.9 million in the prior quarter and net interest income of $8.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Interest income was $44.4 million, up from $26.9 million in the prior quarter, driven by the increase in interest received on loans bought out in prior periods. Interest expense was $62.6 million, up from $44.9 million in the prior quarter driven by the financing of increased balances of loans purchased out of Ginnie Mae securitizations.

Servicing segment expenses totaled $165.6 million, up 4 percent from the prior quarter driven by portfolio growth.

The total servicing portfolio grew to $426.8 billion in UPB at December 31, 2020, an increase of 6 percent from September 30, 2020 and 16 percent from December 31, 2019. PennyMac Financial subservices and conducts special servicing for $174.4 billion in UPB, an increase of 11 percent from September 30, 2020 and 29 percent from December 31, 2019. PennyMac Financial’s owned MSR portfolio grew to $252.3 billion in UPB, an increase of 3 percent from September 30, 2020 and 8 percent from December 31, 2019.

Investment Management Segment

PennyMac Financial manages PMT for which it earns base management fees and may earn incentive compensation. Net AUM were $2.3 billion as of December 31, 2020, up 1 percent from September 30, 2020, due to an increase in PMT’s book value primarily driven by the continued recovery in the fair value of its government sponsored enterprise credit risk transfer investments and strong correspondent segment results.

Pretax income for the Investment Management segment was $2.6 million, down from $3.3 million in the prior quarter and $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Management fees, which include base management and performance incentive fees from PMT were $8.7 million, up from $8.5 million in the prior quarter and $10.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Base management fees were $8.7 million, up from $8.5 million in the prior quarter and $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Performance-based incentive fees were not earned in the fourth quarter and are not expected to be earned in the near-term due to the impact of PMT’s loss in the first quarter of 2020.
