WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (NYSE: PMT) today reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $29.6 million, or $(0.32) per common share on a diluted basis for the first quarter of 2022, on net investment income of $81.8 million. PMT previously announced a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2022 of $0.47 per common share of beneficial interest, which was declared on March 4, 2022 and paid on April 28, 2022 to common shareholders of record as of April 15, 2022.

First Quarter 2022 Highlights

Financial results:

• Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $29.6 million, compared to a net loss of $27.3 million in the prior quarter
  • Credit sensitive strategies impacted by fair value decreases resulting from credit spread widening
  • Strong results in the interest rate sensitive strategies partially offset by $37.2 million of tax provisions in PMT’s taxable REIT subsidiary
• Repurchased 2.0 million PMT common shares at a cost of $31.8 million; also repurchased an additional 990 thousand shares in April at a cost of $15.4 million
• Book value per common share decreased to $17.87 at March 31, 2022 from $19.05 at December 31, 2021¹

1 As described in Note 3 of PMT’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, a recent accounting change requires that beginning in 2022, the portion of PMT’s senior notes that are exchangeable for PMT common shares of beneficial interest originally allocated to additional paid-in capital was reclassified to the carrying value of the exchangeable notes. Giving effect to this change on a pro forma basis, PMT’s book value as of December 31, 2021 would have been $18.60.

Other investment highlights:

• Investment activity driven by correspondent production volumes
  • Conventional correspondent loan production volumes of $9.8 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB), down 43% from the prior quarter and 71% from the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the smaller origination market and significant levels of competition for conventional loans, including from the government sponsored enterprises (GSEs)
    • Resulted in $195 million in new mortgage servicing rights (MSRs)
  • Retained mortgage securities from a PMT securitization of agency-eligible investor loans totaling $420 million in UPB; in aggregate, the fair value of PMT’s investments in investor loan securitizations was approximately $103 million at March 31, 2022
• Invested $86 million in floating-rate credit risk transfer (CRT) bonds recently issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
• Invested $27 million in fixed-rate bonds from a senior tranche of a recently completed jumbo securitization

Notable activity after quarter-end:

• Invested $31 million in floating-rate CRT bonds recently issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae

“PMT’s first quarter net loss was primarily driven by fair value declines in its credit sensitive strategies due to spread widening that resulted from economic uncertainty across financial markets and a provision for tax expense driven by fair value increases in its taxable REIT subsidiary,” said Chairman and CEO, David Spector. “In addition, competitive pressure in the conventional correspondent production channel continued as mortgage rates increased to levels not seen in more than a decade. Conversely, PMT’s interest rate sensitive strategies performed well, benefiting from MSR net valuation related gains that primarily resulted from lower expected prepayment activity in the future.”

Mr. Spector continued, “While the origination market continues to transition, higher interest rates and wider credit spreads are presenting attractive opportunities for PMT to deploy capital. We continued to invest in subordinate tranches from the securitization of our own production of investor loans during the quarter. Additionally, we recently opportunistically invested more than $140 million in securities with attractive expected returns from newly issued Agency CRT transactions and non-agency securitizations. As the mortgage environment continues to evolve, PMT remains well-positioned with the deep knowledge and expertise of this management team to find and invest in assets with attractive, long-term risk-adjusted returns.”

Credit Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Credit Sensitive Strategies segment primarily includes results from PMT’s organically-created GSE CRT investments, investments in non-agency subordinate bonds from private-label securitizations of PMT’s production, opportunistic investments in GSE CRT and other legacy investments. Pretax loss for the segment was $56.0 million on net investment losses of $52.7 million, compared to pretax income of $33.2 million on net investment income of $38.8 million in the prior quarter.

Net losses on investments in the segment were $44.9 million, compared to net gains on investments of $48.3 million in the prior quarter and included $35.6 million in net losses on PMT’s organically-created GSE CRT investments, $7.4 million in net losses from investments in non-agency subordinate bonds from PMT’s production, $2.3 million in net losses on mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and $0.4 million in net gains on loans at fair value.

Net losses on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments for the quarter were $35.6 million, compared to net gains of $43.1 million in the prior quarter, and included $74.9 million in valuation-related losses, which reflected the impact of credit spread widening. The prior quarter included $1.6 million in valuation-related gains. Net losses on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments also included $23.3 million in realized gains and carry, compared to $26.9 million in the prior quarter. Recoveries net of realized losses during the quarter were $16.0 million, primarily related to L Street Securities 2017-PM1, as losses were reversed for loans that had been in forbearance and reperformed.

During the quarter, PMT retained mortgage securities from a PMT securitization of agency-eligible investor loans totaling $420 million in UPB. This resulted in approximately $23 million in fair value of new investments, net of associated asset-backed financing. PMT also opportunistically invested $86 million in floating-rate CRT bonds recently issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

Net interest expense for the segment totaled $8.1 million, compared to $11.2 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $2.1 million, up from $1.1 million in the prior quarter. Interest expense totaled $10.1 million, down from $12.3 million in the prior quarter due to decreased financing expenses as a result of smaller CRT balances.

Segment expenses were $3.3 million, down from $5.7 million in the prior quarter.

Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies segment includes results from investments in MSRs, Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), non-Agency senior MBS and interest rate hedges. Pretax income for the segment was $84.2 million on net investment income of $107.4 million, compared to a pretax loss of $43.2 million on net investment losses of $20.8 million in the prior quarter. The segment includes investments that typically have offsetting fair value exposures to changes in interest rates. For example, in a period with increasing interest rates, MSRs are expected to increase in fair value whereas Agency pass through and non-Agency senior MBS are expected to decrease in fair value.

The results in the Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies segment consist of net gains and losses on investments, net interest income and net loan servicing fees, as well as associated expenses.

Net loss on investments for the segment was $184.2 million and consisted of losses on MBS due to higher interest rates.

Net loan servicing fees were $304.2 million, compared to $12.2 million in the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees included servicing fees of $146.9 million, down slightly from the prior quarter due to seasonal collection trends, and $9.1 million in other fees, reduced by $88.9 million in realization of MSR cash flows, which were up slightly from the prior quarter driven by higher average MSR values. Net loan servicing fees also included $392.6 million in fair value increases of MSRs, $163.8 million in related hedging declines, and $8.3 million of MSR recapture income. PMT’s hedging activities are intended to manage the Company’s net exposure across all interest rate sensitive strategies, which include MSRs and MBS.

(1) Includes contractually specified servicing fees, net of guarantee fees.

The fair value of the MSR increased by $392.6 million in the quarter, driven by higher mortgage rates which resulted in expectations for lower prepayment activity in the future. Agency MBS and interest rate hedges decreased in fair value as a result of increases in market interest rates.

Additionally, during the quarter PMT opportunistically invested $27 million in fixed-rate bonds from a senior tranche of a recently completed jumbo securitization.

Net interest expense for the segment was $12.6 million, versus net interest expense of $19.9 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $29.1 million, up from $22.7 million in the prior quarter due to higher average MBS balances and a decline in prepayment activity. Interest expense totaled $41.7 million, down slightly from the prior quarter primarily due to a reduction in interest shortfall from slower prepayment activity.

Segment expenses were $23.2 million, up slightly from $22.4 million in the prior quarter.

Correspondent Production Segment

PMT acquires newly originated loans from correspondent sellers and typically sells or securitizes the loans, resulting in current-period income and additions to its investments in MSRs related to a portion of its production. PMT’s Correspondent Production segment generated pretax income of $4.6 million, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter.

Through its correspondent production activities, PMT acquired $22.5 billion in UPB of loans, down 31 percent from the prior quarter and 56 percent from the first quarter of 2021. Of total correspondent acquisitions, conventional conforming acquisitions totaled $9.8 billion, and government-insured or guaranteed acquisitions totaled $12.7 billion, down from $17.2 billion and $15.7 billion, respectively, in the prior quarter. Interest rate lock commitments on conventional loans totaled $10.2 billion, down from $14.7 billion in the prior quarter, due to reduced market volumes driving elevated levels of competition for conventional loans, including from the GSEs.

Segment revenues were $26.5 million, a 13 percent decrease from the prior quarter and included other income of $15.0 million, which primarily consists of volume-based origination fees, net interest income of $7.6 million, and net gains on loans acquired for sale of $4.0 million. Net gain on loans acquired for sale in the quarter increased from the prior quarter as a result of higher overall gain on sale margins. Interest income was $19.2 million, down from $30.8 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense was $11.6 million, down from $18.9 million in the prior quarter, both due to lower volumes.

Segment expenses were $22.0 million, down from $25.8 million in the prior quarter driven by the decrease in acquisition volumes and slightly offset by an increase in the weighted average fulfillment fee rate. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate in the first quarter was 17 basis points, up from 12 basis points in the prior quarter.

Corporate Segment

The Corporate segment includes interest income from cash and short-term investments, management fees, and corporate expenses.

Segment revenues were $0.6 million, down from $1.2 million in the prior quarter. Management fees were $8.1 million, down from $8.9 million in the prior quarter. Other segment expenses were $7.2 million, up from $6.3 million in the prior quarter.

Taxes

PMT recorded a provision for tax expense of $37.2 million primarily driven by fair value increases in MSRs held in PMT’s taxable subsidiary.
