Insights

PMT delivered a robust Q4 2024 performance that demonstrates the strength of its diversified investment strategy. The 10% annualized ROE marks a significant improvement, driven by three key factors:

1. Strong operational execution in credit sensitive strategies, generating $20.1 million pretax income with notable performance in GSE CRT investments.

2. Excellent performance in interest rate sensitive strategies, producing $25.5 million pretax income, benefiting from $183.9 million in MSR fair value gains.

3. Strategic pivot in correspondent production, with $22.5 million pretax income despite lower volumes for PMT's account.

The company's renewed focus on private label securitization market presents a compelling growth vector. The completion of two Agency-eligible loan securitizations and $52 million in new subordinate bond investments signals a strategic shift that could enhance returns in 2025. The dividend coverage appears solid with quarterly EPS of $0.41 comfortably covering the $0.40 dividend.

Looking ahead, three factors support a positive outlook:

  • Growing pipeline for private label securitization with strong investor demand
  • Renewed management agreement with PFSI ensuring operational continuity
  • Strategic flexibility to acquire up to 100% of non-government correspondent production post July 2025

PMT's strategic evolution reflects an astute adaptation to market dynamics, particularly evident in three key areas:

1. Capital Allocation Optimization: The planned 15-25% retention rate for conventional conforming production in Q1 2025 represents a calculated approach to balance growth with risk management. This strategic flexibility allows PMT to capitalize on private label securitization opportunities while maintaining MSR investment flow.

2. Revenue Diversification: The successful execution of $822 million in Agency-eligible loan securitizations, combined with $52 million in new subordinate bond investments, demonstrates PMT's ability to generate multiple revenue streams. This diversification helps mitigate market cycle impacts and enhances return stability.

3. Operational Efficiency: The renewed PFSI agreement streamlines operations while maintaining investment optionality. The 18 basis point fulfillment fee rate reflects operational efficiency in correspondent production.

The company's positioning in the private label securitization market, coupled with its established MSR portfolio, creates a robust foundation for sustained performance through market cycles.

“PMT produced strong results in the fourth quarter with a 10 percent annualized return on equity primarily driven by strong levels of income excluding market driven value changes and excellent performance across all three investment strategies,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “Importantly, the fourth quarter marked a return to organic creation of credit investments as we leveraged the strength of our correspondent production and securitization expertise to complete two securitizations of Agency-eligible investor loans and retained $52 million of net new credit subordinate bond investments. With a growing pipeline of loans available for private label securitization and strong investor demand, we expect similar levels of activity well into 2025, with the potential for increased activity and securitizations of other loan products as the origination market grows.”

Mr. Spector concluded, “While I am pleased with PMT’s performance in 2024, I am even more excited by the opportunity ahead. Given our expectations for PMT to be a consistent issuer and investor in private label securitizations alongside its seasoned portfolio of MSRs and CRT with strong underlying fundamentals, I am confident the company will continue to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns in 2025 and beyond.”

Credit Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Credit Sensitive Strategies segment primarily includes results from PMT’s organically-created GSE CRT investments, opportunistic investments in other GSE CRT, investments in non-agency subordinate bonds from private-label securitizations of PMT’s production and legacy investments. Pretax income for the segment was $20.1 million on net investment income of $20.4 million, compared to pretax income of $26.4 million on net investment income of $26.5 million in the prior quarter.

Net gains on investments in the segment were $20.2 million, compared to $27.1 million in the prior quarter. These net gains include $24.6 million of gains on PMT’s organically-created GSE CRT investments, $0.3 million in losses on other acquired subordinate CRT mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and $4.0 million of losses on investments from non-agency subordinate bonds from PMT’s production.

Net gains on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments for the quarter were $24.6 million, compared to $20.8 million in the prior quarter. These net gains include $10.2 million in valuation-related gains, which reflected the impact of credit spread tightening in the fourth quarter. The prior quarter included $6.6 million of such gains. Net gains on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments also included $14.8 million in realized gains and carry, compared to $15.0 million in the prior quarter. Realized losses during the quarter were $0.5 million.

Net interest income for the segment totaled $0.4 million, compared to $0.5 million of net interest expense in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $21.1 million, down slightly from $21.4 million in the prior quarter. Interest expense totaled $20.7 million, down from $21.9 million in the prior quarter.

Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies segment includes results from investments in MSRs, Agency MBS, non-Agency senior MBS and interest rate hedges. Pretax income for the segment was $25.5 million on net investment income of $51.9 million, compared to pretax income of $0.5 million on net investment income of $26.1 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.

Income from net loan servicing fees was $207.4 million, compared to losses of $85.1 million in the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees included contractually specified servicing fees of $159.6 million and $4.9 million in other fees, reduced by $90.6 million in realization of MSR cash flows, which was down from $100.6 million in the prior quarter due to higher interest rates during the quarter. Net loan servicing fees also included $183.9 million in fair value gains on MSRs due to higher interest rates, $51.2 million in hedging losses, and $0.9 million of MSR recapture income. PMT’s hedging activities are intended to manage its net exposure across all interest rate sensitive strategies, which include MSRs, MBS and related tax impacts.

Net losses on investments for the segment were $125.9 million, which primarily consisted of losses on MBS due to higher interest rates.

Net interest expense for the segment was $29.6 million versus $8.4 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $106.1 million, down from $128.5 million in the prior quarter primarily due to lower interest income on MBS and earnings on custodial balances. Interest expense totaled $135.7 million, down slightly from $136.9 million in the prior quarter.

Segment expenses were $26.4 million, up slightly from $25.6 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 $22.5 million in the fourth quarter, up from $13.2 million in the prior quarter.

Through its correspondent production activities in the fourth quarter, PMT acquired a total of $28.1 billion in UPB of loans, up 9 percent from the prior quarter and 19 percent from the fourth quarter of 2023. Of total correspondent acquisitions, government-insured or guaranteed acquisitions totaled $11.0 billion, down 7 percent from the prior quarter, while conventional conforming and jumbo acquisitions totaled $17.1 billion, up 22 percent from the prior quarter. $3.5 billion of conventional conforming and jumbo volume was for PMT’s account, down 41 percent from the prior quarter due to PMT retaining a smaller percentage of conventional conforming correspondent loan production. PMT is expected to retain all jumbo production and 15 to 25 percent of total conventional conforming correspondent production in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 19 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024, as PMT continues to pursue investment opportunities in the private label securitization market. Interest rate lock commitments on conventional conforming and jumbo loans for PMT’s account totaled $3.2 billion, down 58 percent from the prior quarter.

Segment revenues were $33.4 million and included net gains on loans acquired for sale of $26.4 million, other income of $4.0 million, which primarily consists of volume-based origination fees, and net interest income of $2.9 million. Net gains on loans acquired for sale increased $6.3 million from the prior quarter, primarily due to increased demand for private label securitization and whole loan execution for investor loans during the quarter. Interest income was $32.5 million, up from $23.9 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense was $29.5 million, up from $24.3 million in the prior quarter, both due to higher inventory of loans held for sale at fair value.

Segment expenses were $10.9 million, down from $13.1 million in the prior quarter. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate in the fourth quarter was 18 basis points, down from 19 basis points in the prior quarter.

Under a renewed mortgage banking services agreement with PFSI, effective July 1, 2025, correspondent production volumes will initially be acquired by PFSI. PMT will retain the right to purchase up to 100 percent of non-government correspondent loan production.

Corporate

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

Corporate revenues were $2.3 million, up from $1.9 million in the prior quarter. Management fees were $7.1 million, and other expenses were $4.5 million.

Taxes

PMT recorded a provision for tax expense of $8.6 million, driven by income from correspondent production and gains on MSRs held in PMT’s taxable REIT subsidiary.

Words like “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “promise,” “plan,” and other expressions or words of similar meanings, as well as future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may” are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results and operations for any future period may vary materially from those projected herein and from past results discussed herein. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to: changes in interest rates; the Company’s ability to comply with various federal, state and local laws and regulations that govern its business; volatility in the Company’s industry, the debt or equity markets, the general economy or the real estate finance and real estate markets; events or circumstances which undermine confidence in the financial and housing markets or otherwise have a broad impact on financial and housing markets; changes in real estate values, housing prices and housing sales; changes in macroeconomic, consumer and real estate market conditions; the degree and nature of the Company’s competition; the availability of, and level of competition for, attractive risk-adjusted investment opportunities in mortgage loans and mortgage-related assets that satisfy the Company’s investment objectives; the inherent difficulty in winning bids to acquire mortgage loans, and the Company’s success in doing so; the concentration of credit risks to which the Company is exposed; the Company’s dependence on its manager and servicer, potential conflicts of interest with such entities and their affiliates, and the performance of such entities; changes in personnel and lack of availability of qualified personnel at its manager, servicer or their affiliates; our ability to mitigate cybersecurity risks, cybersecurity incidents and technology disruptions; the development of artificial intelligence; the availability, terms and deployment of short-term and long-term capital; the adequacy of the Company’s cash reserves and working capital; the Company’s ability to maintain the desired relationship between its financing and the interest rates and maturities of its assets; the timing and amount of cash flows, if any, from the Company’s investments; our substantial amount of indebtedness; the performance, financial condition and liquidity of borrowers; our exposure to risks of loss and disruptions in operations resulting from severe weather events, man-made or other natural conditions, including climate change and pandemics; the ability of the Company’s servicer, which also provides the Company with fulfillment services, to approve and monitor correspondent sellers and underwrite loans to investor standards; incomplete or inaccurate information or documentation provided by customers or counterparties, or adverse changes in the financial condition of the Company’s customers and counterparties; the Company’s indemnification and repurchase obligations in connection with mortgage loans it purchases and later sells or securitizes; the quality and enforceability of the collateral documentation evidencing the Company’s ownership and rights in the assets in which it invests; increased rates of delinquency, defaults and forbearances and/or decreased recovery rates on the Company’s investments; the performance of mortgage loans underlying mortgage-backed securities in which the Company retains credit risk; the Company’s ability to foreclose on its investments in a timely manner or at all; increased prepayments of the mortgages and other loans underlying the Company’s mortgage-backed securities or relating to the Company’s mortgage servicing rights and other investments; risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR; the degree to which the Company’s hedging strategies may or may not protect it from interest rate volatility; the effect of the accuracy of or changes in the estimates the Company makes about uncertainties, contingencies and asset and liability valuations when measuring and reporting upon the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; the Company’s ability to maintain appropriate internal control over financial reporting; the Company’s ability to detect misconduct and fraud; developments in the secondary markets for the Company’s mortgage loan products; legislative and regulatory changes that impact the mortgage loan industry or housing market; regulatory or other changes that impact government agencies or government-sponsored entities, or such changes that increase the cost of doing business with such agencies or entities; the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and its issued and future rules and the enforcement thereof; changes in government support of homeownership; changes in government or government-sponsored home affordability programs; changes in the Company’s investment objectives or investment or operational strategies, including any new lines of business or new products and services that may subject it to additional risks; limitations imposed on the Company’s business and its ability to satisfy complex rules for it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and qualify for an exclusion from the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to qualify as REITs or as taxable REIT subsidiaries for U.S. federal income tax purposes; changes in governmental regulations, accounting treatment, tax rates and similar matters; the Company’s ability to make distributions to its shareholders in the future; the Company’s failure to deal appropriately with issues that may give rise to reputational risk; and the Company’s organizational structure and certain requirements in its charter documents. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider all of the uncertainties and risks described above, as well as those more fully discussed in reports and other documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or any other information contained herein, and the statements made in this press release are current as of the date of this release only.
