_________________
¹ As described in Note 2 of PMT’s Quarterly Report on form 10Q for the quarter ended September 30, 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 will be 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.
² Return on average common equity is calculated based on net income attributable to common shareholders as a percentage of monthly average common equity during the year.

“PMT’s net loss in the fourth quarter was primarily driven by fair value changes in our Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies due to significant interest rate volatility and flattening of the yield curve,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “Additionally, elevated competition in the conventional correspondent channel, including from the GSEs, put pressure on acquisition volumes and margins during the quarter. As the market transitions to a higher rate environment, we believe the return volatility of our investments will stabilize and the competitive climate will improve as correspondent aggregators adjust capacity to the new market. Until that takes place, we expect headwinds for the return potential of PMT’s strategies. However, there are significant investment opportunities we are pursuing in the form of private-label securitization and the potential to resume new CRT investments and we are encouraged by our continued active discussions with the GSEs and FHFA on that front.”

Mr. Spector continued, “As a public company in our 13th year of operations with a very seasoned management team, we have been disciplined through numerous mortgage cycles and have a strong track record of performance throughout our history. While we acknowledge the headwinds in this currently transitioning mortgage market, we are optimistic about PMT’s ability to execute on opportunities and deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to shareholders over the long-term.”

Credit Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Credit Sensitive Strategies segment primarily includes results from CRT, investments in non-agency subordinated bonds from the private-label securitizations of PMT’s production, and also includes distressed loans. Pretax income for the segment was $33.2 million on revenues of $38.8 million, compared to pretax income of $60.7 million on revenues of $63.1 million in the prior quarter.

Net gain on investments in the segment was $48.3 million, down from $75.8 million in the prior quarter and included $43.1 million in net gains on CRT investments, $6.3 million in net gains from investments in non-agency subordinate bonds, $0.8 million in net losses on mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and $0.3 million in net losses on loans at fair value.

Net gain on CRT investments for the quarter was $43.1 million, down from $73.9 million in the prior quarter, and included $1.6 million in valuation-related gains. The prior quarter included $26.4 million in such gains which reflected the impact of credit spread tightening and elevated prepayment speeds. Net gain on CRT investments also included $26.9 million in realized gains and carry, compared to $33.1 million of such gains in the prior quarter. Recoveries net of realized losses during the quarter were $14.5 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 two of its own securitizations of agency-eligible investor loans with an aggregate UPB of $713 million. This resulted in approximately $42 million in fair value of new investments, net of associated asset-backed financing, and at the end of the year, the fair value of PMT’s investments in investor loans was approximately $87 million.

Net interest expense for the segment totaled $11.2 million, compared to $13.2 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $1.1 million, up from $0.6 million in the prior quarter. Interest expense totaled $12.3 million, down from $13.9 million in the prior quarter due to decreased financing expenses as a result of smaller CRT balances due to prepayments.

Segment expenses were $5.7 million, up from $2.4 million in the prior quarter as a result of additional expenses incurred resulting from the agency-eligible investor loan securitizations completed.

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 loss for the segment was $43.2 million on investment losses of $20.8 million, compared to a pretax loss of $116.8 million on net investment losses of $95.0 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 typically increase in fair value whereas Agency MBS typically 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 $13.1 million and consisted of losses on MBS.

Net loan servicing fees were $12.2 million, compared to a net loss of $53.3 million in the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees included servicing fees of $148.1 million, up from the prior quarter primarily driven by seasonal collection trends, and $14.0 million in other fees, reduced by $87.7 million in realization of MSR cash flows, which was up 8 percent from the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees also included $84.0 million in fair value declines of MSRs, $9.1 million in related gains in hedging results, and $12.7 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.

MSR fair value declined by $84.0 million in the quarter, and consisted of $49.4 million in fair value decreases due to changes in interest rates, primarily due to a significant flattening of the yield curve, and $34.6 million in other valuation losses, primarily due to increases to short-term prepayment projections. Additional fair value losses in the segment resulted from elevated hedge costs. PMT also benefited from recapture income from PFSI for elevated prepayment activity during the quarter. PMT generally benefits from recapture income when the prepayment of a loan underlying PMT’s MSR results from refinancing by PFSI.

Net interest expense for the segment was $19.9 million, versus net interest expense of $23.2 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $22.7 million, up from $18.3 million in the prior quarter and interest expense totaled $42.6 million, up from $41.5 million in the prior quarter. The additional interest income and interest expense were primarily due to the growth in investor loan securitizations consolidated on the balance sheet.

Segment expenses were $22.4 million, up slightly from $21.8 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, down from $27.8 million in the prior quarter due to lower volumes and margins.

Through its correspondent production activities, PMT acquired $32.8 billion in UPB of loans, down 25 percent from the prior quarter and down 42 percent from the fourth quarter of 2020. Of total correspondent acquisitions, conventional conforming acquisitions totaled $17.2 billion, and government-insured or guaranteed acquisitions totaled $15.7 billion, down from $28.6 billion and up from $15.4 billion, respectively, in the prior quarter. Interest rate lock commitments on conventional loans totaled $14.7 billion, down from $29.4 billion in the prior quarter, due to elevated levels of competition for conventional loans, including from the GSEs.

Segment revenues were $30.3 million, a 62 percent decrease from the prior quarter and included net losses on loans acquired for sale of $9.7 million, other income of $28.1 million, which primarily consists of volume-based origination fees, and net interest income of $11.9 million. Net gain on loans acquired for sale in the quarter decreased by $25.9 million from the prior quarter as a result of lower volumes and margins. Interest income was $30.8 million, down from $39.0 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense was $18.9 million, down from $20.2 million in the prior quarter.

Segment expenses were $25.8 million, down from $51.6 million in the prior quarter driven by decreases in acquisition volumes and the weighted average fulfillment fee rate. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate in the fourth quarter was 12 basis points, down from 15 basis points in the prior quarter reflecting discretionary reductions by PMT’s manager, PFSI, to facilitate successful loan acquisitions for PMT.

Corporate Segment

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

Segment revenues were $1.2 million, up from $0.4 million in the prior quarter. Management fees were $8.9 million, up from $8.5 million in the prior quarter. Other segment expenses were $6.3 million, up from $4.2 million in the prior quarter.

Taxes

PMT recorded a tax benefit of $2.6 million driven by fair value declines in MSRs held in PMT’s taxable subsidiary.
