SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) contains certain forward-looking statements that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximately,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “plan” or other similar words or expressions.
Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain financial and operating projections or state other forward-looking information. Examples of forward-looking statements include the following:
Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future events, actions, plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. There are a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ significantly from management’s expectations. Some of these factors are discussed below.
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should consider the following uncertainties and risks, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Report and the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 20, 2025.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include, but are not limited to:
1
Other factors that could also cause results to differ from our expectations may not be described in this Report or any other document. Each of these factors could by itself, or together with one or more other factors, adversely affect our business, income and/or financial condition.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statement was made.

PENNYMAC MORTGAGE INVESTMENT TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1—Organization
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT” or the “Company”) is a specialty finance company, which invests in residential mortgage-related assets. The Company operates in
The Company primarily sells the loans it acquires through its correspondent production activities to government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) or to PLS primarily for sale into securitizations guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"), or the GSEs. Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies.” The Company may also securitize loans directly and retain senior and subordinate MBS created in the securitizations.
The Company conducts substantially all of its operations and makes substantially all of its investments through its subsidiary, PennyMac Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company is the sole general partner, and the Company is the sole limited partner, of the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes that it qualifies, and has elected to be taxed, as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To maintain its tax status as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least
Note 2—Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification for interim financial information and with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of the income that may be expected for the full year. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
The Company held

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
During 2023 the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), that is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 does not require any changes to the Company’s accounting for income taxes. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosures of:
The disclosures required by ASU 2023-09 are required in the Company’s annual financial statements beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025.
Note 3—Concentration of Risks
As discussed in Note 1 – Organization above, PMT’s operating and investing activities are centered in residential mortgage-related assets, including CRT arrangements, subordinate MBS, Agency and senior Non-Agency MBS and MSRs.
The Company is exposed to fair value risk and credit risk and, as a result of prevailing market conditions, may be required to recognize losses associated with adverse changes to the fair value of its investments in MSRs, CRT arrangements, and MBS as well as credit losses arising from its investments in CRT arrangements and subordinate MBS.
Fair Value Risk
The Company carries its non-cash financial assets and MSRs at fair value with changes in fair value included in its income:
Credit Risk
Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities details the Company’s investments in CRT arrangements whereby the Company sold pools of loans into Fannie Mae guaranteed loan securitizations which became reference pools underlying the CRT arrangements. Fannie Mae transferred interest-only (“IO”) ownership interests and recourse obligations based upon the securitized reference pools of loans subject to the CRT arrangements into trust entities, and the Company acquired the IO ownership interests and assumed the recourse obligations in the CRT arrangements through the acquisition of beneficial interests in the trust entities.
The Company also invests in subordinate MBS, which are among the first beneficial interests in the issuing trusts to absorb credit losses on the underlying loans.
The Company’s retention of credit risk through its investment in CRT arrangements and subordinate MBS subjects it to risks associated with delinquency and foreclosure similar to the risks of loss associated with owning the underlying loans, which is greater than the risk of loss associated with selling loans to the Agencies without the retention of credit risk in the case of CRT arrangements and investing in senior mortgage-backed securities in the case of subordinate MBS.
Certain of the Company's investments in CRT arrangements are structured such that loans that reach a specific number of days delinquent trigger losses chargeable to the CRT arrangements based on the sizes of the delinquent loans and a contractual schedule of loss severity. Therefore, the risks associated with delinquency and foreclosure may in some instances be greater than the risks associated with owning the related loans because the structure of those CRT arrangements provides that the Company may be required to absorb losses in the event of delinquency or foreclosure even when there is ultimately no loss realized with respect to such loans (e.g., as a result of a borrower’s re-performance). In contrast, the structure of the Company’s other investments in CRT arrangements requires PMT to absorb losses only when the reference loans realize losses.
The Company maintains cash and short-term investment balances at financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. Should one or more of the financial institutions at which the Company's deposits are
10
maintained fail, there is no guarantee as to the extent that the Company would recover the funds deposited, whether through FDIC coverage or otherwise, or the timing of any recovery.
Note 4—Transactions with Related Parties
The Company enters into transactions with subsidiaries of PFSI in support of its operating, investing and financing activities as summarized below.
Operating Activities
Servicing Agreement
The Company has a loan servicing agreement with PLS (the “Servicing Agreement”) pursuant to which PLS provides subservicing for the Company's portfolio of MSRs, loans held for sale, loans held in VIEs (prime servicing), and its portfolio of residential loans purchased with credit deterioration (special servicing or distressed loans).
Under the Servicing Agreement, as amended, servicing fees for all subserviced MSRs and loans are established at a per loan monthly amount based on the delinquency, bankruptcy and/or foreclosure status of the serviced loan or real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO") as shown below:
Through 2024, the loan servicing fees were established based on whether the serviced loans were “prime” loans (loans included in PMT’s MSRs, private label securitization portfolios and its inventory of loans held for sale) or “special servicing” loans (loans purchased by PMT with credit deterioration) as follows:
Prime Servicing
Special Servicing
The Servicing Agreement expires on
11
MSR Recapture Agreement
The Company has an MSR recapture agreement with PLS. Pursuant to the terms of the MSR recapture agreement, if PLS refinances (recaptures) mortgage loans for which the Company previously held the MSRs, PLS is generally required to transfer and convey to the Company cash in an amount equal to:
The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of all refinance mortgage loans originated in such month, plus the aggregate UPB of all "preserved mortgage loans" relating to closed end second loans originated in such month, to (ii) the aggregate UPB of all mortgage loans from the portfolio that PLS has determined in good faith were refinanced in such month, plus the aggregate UPB of all "preserved mortgage loans" relating to closed end second lien loans originated in such month. For purposes of such calculation, “preserved mortgage loan” means a mortgage loan in PMT’s portfolio as to which PLS or its affiliates originated a new closed end second lien loan in a subordinate position to such mortgage loan. PFSI has further agreed to allocate sufficient resources to target a recapture rate of at least
Through December 2024, the MSR recapture agreement provided for the fee to be determined as follows:
Through December 31, 2024, the “recapture rate” meant, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate UPB of all recaptured loans, to (ii) the aggregate UPB of all mortgage loans for which the Company held the MSRs and that were refinanced or otherwise paid off in such month.
The MSR recapture agreement expires on

Correspondent Production Activities
Mortgage Banking Servicing Agreement
The Company is provided fulfillment and other services for the operation of its correspondent production business under an amended and restated mortgage banking services agreement with PLS. These services include: provision of models and technology for the pricing of loans and MSRs; reviews of loan data; documentation and appraisals to assess loan quality and risk; hedging the fair value of the Company's mortgage loan inventory and commitments to purchase mortgage loans; correspondent seller performance and credit monitoring; and the sale of loans through secondary mortgage markets on behalf of the Company.
The mortgage banking services agreement was amended and renewed effective January 1, 2025. As part of the amendment of the mortgage banking services agreement, PLS assumed the role of initial correspondent loan purchaser instead of the Company effective July 1, 2025. Under the amended agreement, the Company retains the right to purchase up to

Accordingly, under the mortgage banking services agreement, through June 30, 2025, PLS purchased mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from the Company at its cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and a sourcing fee ranging from
While PLS purchased these mortgage loans “as is” and without recourse of any kind from the Company, where PLS has a claim for repurchase, indemnity or otherwise against a correspondent seller, it is entitled, at its sole expense, to pursue any such claim through or in the name of the Company.
The mortgage banking services agreement expires on

For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:
“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest (“Common Shares”) calculated in accordance with GAAP, and adjusted to exclude one-time events pursuant to changes in GAAP and certain other non-cash charges after discussion between PCM and the Company’s independent trustees and after approval by a majority of the Company’s independent trustees.
“Common shareholders’ equity” is defined as average "shareholder’s equity" less the average GAAP carrying value of the Company’s preferred equity.
“High watermark” is the annual adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “equity”) in that year exceeds or falls short of the lesser of
The base management fee is paid quarterly in arrears and the performance incentive fee is paid annually in arrears. The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and the Company’s Common Shares (subject to a limit of no more than
Through 2024, under the management agreement, both base management and performance incentive fees were paid quarterly and the high watermark was assessed and calculated on a cumulative basis since inception.
In the event of termination of the management agreement between the Company and PCM, PCM may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances.

Note 6—Variable Interest Entities
The Company is a variable interest holder in various VIEs that relate to its investing and financing activities as discussed below.
Credit Risk Transfer Arrangements
The Company has previously entered into certain loan sales arrangements pursuant to which it accepted credit risk relating to the loans sold in exchange for a portion of the interest earned on such loans. These arrangements absorb scheduled or realized credit losses on those loans and comprise the Company’s investments in CRT arrangements.
The Company, through its subsidiary, PennyMac Mortgage Corp (“PMC"), entered into CRT arrangements with Fannie Mae, pursuant to which the Company sold pools of loans into Fannie Mae-guaranteed securitizations while retaining recourse obligations as part of the retention of IO ownership interests in such loans. CRT arrangements include:
The Company placed Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements into subsidiary trust entities to secure its recourse obligations. The Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements represent the Company’s maximum contractual exposure to claims under its recourse obligations and are the sole source of settlement of losses under the CRT arrangements.
The Company’s exposure to losses under its recourse obligations was initially established at rates ranging from
17
The Company has concluded that the subsidiary trust entities holding its CRT arrangements are VIEs and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as it is the holder of the primary beneficial interests which absorb the variability of the trusts’ income. For CRT arrangements where losses are triggered based on the loans’ delinquency status, the Company recognizes its IO ownership interests and recourse obligations on the consolidated balance sheets as CRT derivatives in Derivative assets and Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities. For CRT securities where losses are absorbed when the reference loans realize credit losses, the Company recognizes its IO ownership interests and recourse obligations as CRT strips which are included on the consolidated balance sheet in Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities. Gains and losses on the derivatives, strips and the IO ownership interest sold to a nonaffiliate included in the CRT arrangements are included in Net gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of income.
Following is a summary of the CRT arrangements:

Subordinate and Senior Non-Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company retains or purchases subordinate and senior non-agency MBS in transactions sponsored by PMC or a nonaffiliate. Cash inflows from the loans underlying these securities are distributed to investors and service providers in accordance with the respective securities' contractual priorities of payments and, as such, most of these inflows must be directed first to service and repay the senior securities.
The rights of holders of subordinate securities to receive distributions of principal and/or interest, as applicable, are subordinate to the rights of holders of senior securities. After the senior securities are repaid, substantially all cash inflows will be directed to the subordinate securities, including those held by the Company, until they are fully repaid.
The Company’s retention or purchase of subordinate MBS exposes PMT to the credit risk in the underlying loans because the Company’s subordinate MBS investments are among the first beneficial interests to absorb credit losses on those assets. The Company’s exposure to losses from its investments in subordinate MBS is limited to its recorded investment in such securities.
The Company has concluded that the trusts holding the assets underlying these transactions are VIEs. The Company also has concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of certain of the VIEs as it has the power, through PLS, in its role as the servicer or sub-servicer of the underlying loans, to direct the activities of the trusts that most significantly impact the trusts’ economic performance and, as a holder of subordinate securities, that PMT is exposed to losses that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. Therefore, PMT consolidates those VIEs.
The Company recognizes the interest earned on the loans owned by the VIEs as Interest income and the interest attributable to the asset-backed securities issued to nonaffiliates by the VIEs as Interest expense on its consolidated statements of income.

Financing of Mortgage Servicing Assets
The Company entered into financing transactions in which it pledged participation interests in its Fannie Mae MSRs to VIEs which issued variable funding notes, term notes and term loans backed by the participation interests. The Company holds the variable funding notes and acts as guarantor of the variable funding notes, term notes and term loans. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because, as the holder of the variable funding notes and issuer of performance guarantees, it holds the variable interests in the VIEs. Therefore, the Company consolidates the VIEs.
For financial reporting purposes, the MSRs financed by the consolidated VIEs are included in Mortgage servicing rights at fair value, the variable funding notes sold under agreements to repurchase are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase and the term notes and term loans are included in Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. These financings are described in Note 15— Long-Term Debt.
Note 7— Fair Value
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured at or based on their fair values. Measurement at or based on fair value may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability and whether the Company has elected to carry the item at its fair value as discussed in the following paragraphs.
The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the assigned inputs used to determine fair value. The fair value level assigned to an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These levels are:
As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.
20
The Company reclassifies its assets and liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy when the significant inputs required to establish fair value at a level of the fair value hierarchy are no longer readily available, requiring the use of lower-level inputs, or when the significant inputs required to establish fair value at a higher level of the hierarchy become available.
Fair Value Accounting Elections
The Company identified all of PMT’s non-cash financial assets and MSRs to be accounted for at fair value. The Company has elected to account for these assets at fair value so such changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.
The Company has also identified its Asset-backed financings at fair value and Interest-only security payable at fair value to be accounted for at fair value to reflect the generally offsetting changes in fair value of these borrowings to changes in fair value of the assets at fair value collateralizing these financings. For other borrowings, the Company has determined that historical cost accounting is more appropriate because under this method debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the debt facility, thereby matching the debt issuance cost to the periods benefiting from the availability of the debt.

The Company remeasures its REO based on fair value when it evaluates the REO properties for impairment. The Company evaluates its REO for impairment with reference to the respective properties’ fair values less costs to sell. REO may be revalued after acquisition due to the Company receiving greater access to the property, the property being held for an extended period or receiving indications that the property’s fair value may not be supported by developing market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the property’s cost is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost
Most of the Company’s borrowings are carried at amortized cost. The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets and the exchangeable notes included in Unsecured senior notes are classified as “Level 3” fair value liabilities due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate these instruments’ fair values. The Company classifies its senior notes as “Level 2” fair value liabilities.
The Company has concluded that the fair values of these borrowings other than term notes and term loans included in Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes approximate the agreements’ carrying values due to the borrowing agreements’ variable interest rates and short maturities.
The Company estimates the fair values of the term notes and term loans included in Notes payable secured by credit risk transfer and mortgage servicing assets using indications of fair value provided by nonaffiliate brokers for the term notes and internal estimates of fair value for the term loans. The Company estimates the fair values of its Unsecured senior notes using pricing services.

Valuation Governance
Most of the Company’s assets, its Asset-backed financings of variable interest entities at fair value, Interest-only security payable at fair value and Derivative and credit risk transfer strip liabilities at fair value are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. A substantial portion of these items are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require the use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the fair values of the assets and liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.
Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company has assigned responsibility for estimating the fair values of these assets and liabilities to specialized staff within PFSI's capital markets group and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight.
30
With respect to “Level 3” valuations other than IRLCs, the capital markets valuation staff reports to PFSI’s senior management valuation subcommittee, which oversees the valuations. The capital markets valuation staff monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities other than IRLCs, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results to PFSI’s senior management valuation subcommittee. PFSI’s senior management valuation subcommittee includes the Company’s chief financial and investment officers as well as other senior members of PFSI’s finance, risk management and capital markets staffs.
The capital markets valuation staff is responsible for reporting to PFSI’s senior management valuation subcommittee on the changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuation and any changes in model methods and inputs. To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the capital markets valuation staff presents an analysis of the effect on the valuation of changes to the significant inputs to the models and, for MSRs, comparisons of its estimates of fair value and key inputs to those procured from nonaffiliate brokers and published surveys.
The fair values of the Company’s IRLCs are developed by PFSI's capital markets risk management staff and are reviewed by its capital markets operations staff.
Valuation Techniques and Inputs
The following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company’s categorization of its current holdings of MBS is based on whether the respective security is an IO stripped MBS:
The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of IO stripped MBS include pricing spread or option-adjusted spreads ("OAS") (pricing spread and OAS are each a component of discount rate) and prepayment speed. Significant changes to those inputs in isolation may result in significant changes in the IO stripped MBS' fair value measurements. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related.

Changes in the fair value of MBS are included in Net gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of income.
Loans
Fair value of loans is estimated based on whether the loans are saleable into active markets:
Changes in fair values of loans held for sale are included in Net gains on loans held for sale in the consolidated statements of income. Changes in fair values of loans held for investment are included in Net gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of income.
Derivative and Credit Risk Transfer Strip Assets and Liabilities
CRT Derivatives
The Company categorizes CRT derivatives as “Level 3” fair value assets. The fair values of CRT derivatives are based on indications of fair value provided to the Company by nonaffiliate brokers for the certificates representing the beneficial interests in the trusts holding the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors, the recourse obligations and the IO ownership interests. Together, the recourse obligation and the IO ownership interest comprise the CRT derivative. Fair values of the CRT derivatives are derived by deducting the balances of the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors from the fair values of the certificates representing the beneficial interests in the trusts.
The Company assesses the fair values it receives from nonaffiliate brokers using the discounted cash flow approach. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in its review and approval of the valuation of CRT derivatives are the discount rates, voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds and the remaining loss expectations of the reference loans. Changes in fair value of CRT derivatives are included in Net gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of income.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities. The Company estimates the fair values of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, the probability that the loans will be purchased under the commitments (the “pull-through rate”) and the Company’s estimate of the fair values of the MSRs it expects to receive upon sale of the loans.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rates and the estimated MSRs attributed to the mortgage loans subject to the commitments. Significant changes in the pull-through rates or the MSR components of the IRLCs, in isolation, may result in a significant change in the IRLCs’ fair values. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of an IRLC’s fair value, but also increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component that has decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the consolidated statements of income.

Hedging Derivatives
Fair values of derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities. Fair values of derivative financial instruments based on observable interest rates, volatilities and prices in the MBS or other markets are categorized by the Company as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities. Changes in the fair value of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on investments and financings, Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value or Net loan servicing fees – from nonaffiliates – Mortgage servicing rights hedging results as applicable, in the consolidated statements of income.
Credit Risk Transfer Strips
The Company categorizes CRT strips as “Level 3” fair value liabilities. The fair values of CRT strips are based on indications of fair value provided to the Company by nonaffiliate brokers for the securities representing the beneficial interests in the trusts holding the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors, the IO ownership interests and the recourse obligations. Together, the IO ownership interest and the recourse obligation comprise the CRT strip.
Fair values of the CRT strips are derived by deducting the balance of the Deposits securing credit risk transfer arrangements pledged to creditors from the indications of fair value of the securities provided by the nonaffiliate brokers.
The Company assesses the indications of fair value it receives from nonaffiliate brokers using the discounted cash flow approach. The significant unobservable inputs used by the Company in its review and approval of the valuation of the CRT strips are the discount rates, voluntary and involuntary prepayment speeds and the remaining loss expectations of the reference loans. Changes in fair value of CRT strips are included in Net gains on investments and financings in the consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Company categorizes MSRs as “Level 3” fair value assets. The fair values of MSRs are derived from the net positive cash flows associated with the servicing agreements. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair values of MSRs. The Company receives a servicing fee based on the remaining UPB of the loans subject to the servicing agreements and generally has the right to receive other remuneration including various mortgagor-contracted fees such as late charges and collateral reconveyance charges, and is generally entitled to retain any placement fees earned on certain custodial funds held pending remittance of mortgagor principal, interest, tax and insurance payments.
Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the company enhanced its discounted cash flow approach to estimate the period-end fair value of its MSRs with the adoption of an OAS discounted cashflow model. The OAS model allows the Company to account for the likelihood of interest rates moving along different paths as economic conditions change in its assessment of the fair value of MSRs as opposed to a single assumed rate path.
34
The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable prepayment rate (prepayment speed), OAS or pricing spread (the OAS and pricing spread are components of the discount rate), and annual per-loan cost to service the underlying loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing fees – From nonaffiliates – Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights in the consolidated statements of income.
MSRs are generally subject to loss in fair value when prepayment speed expectations and experience increase, when returns required by market participants (expressed as OAS or pricing spreads) increase, or when annual per-loan cost of servicing increases. Reductions in the fair value of MSRs affect income primarily through recognition of the change in fair value.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
REO is measured based on its fair value on a nonrecurring basis and is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value asset. Fair value of REO is established by using a current estimate of fair value from either a broker’s price opinion, a full appraisal, or the price given in a pending contract of sale.
36
REO fair values are reviewed by PLS staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of fair value and there is a significant difference between the indications of fair value. PLS staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the difference between the indications of fair value. In circumstances where the staff appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a fair value conclusion, the staff appraisers obtain an additional appraisal to determine fair value. Recognized changes in the fair value of REO are included in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of income.

The Company records all derivative and CRT strip assets and liabilities at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.
Derivative Activities
The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating, investing and financing activities. Derivative financial instruments are created as a result of certain of the Company’s operations and the Company also enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities.
Derivative financial instruments created as a result of the Company’s operations are comprised of IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase loans held for sale.
The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to reduce the variability of earnings caused by the effects of changes in interest rates on the fair values of certain of its assets and liabilities. The Company bears price risk related to its mortgage production, MSRs and MBS financing activities due to changes in market interest rates as discussed below:
To manage the price risk resulting from these interest rate risks, the Company uses derivative financial instruments with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair values of the Company’s MBS, inventory of loans held for sale, IRLCs and MSRs. The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting.
Cash flows from derivative financial instruments relating to hedging of IRLCs and loans held for sale are included in Cash flows from operating activities in Sale to nonaffiliates and repayment of loans held for sale at fair value. Cash flows from derivative financial instruments relating to hedging of MSRs are included in Cash flows from investing activities.

Mortgage Loan Participation Purchase and Sale Agreement
One of the borrowing facilities secured by loans held for sale is in the form of a mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreement. Participation certificates, each of which represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a pool of loans that have been pooled with Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, are sold to the lender pending the securitization of such loans and the sale of the resulting security. The commitment between the Company and a nonaffiliate to sell such security is also assigned to the lender at the time a participation certificate is sold.
The purchase price paid by the lender for each participation certificate is based on the trade price of the security, plus an amount of interest expected to accrue on the security to its anticipated delivery date, minus a present value adjustment, any related hedging costs
46
and a holdback amount. The holdback amount is based on a percentage of the purchase price and is not required to be paid to the Company until the settlement of the security and its delivery to the lender.
The mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreement is summarized below:

Fannie Mae MSR Financing
The Company, through two subsidiaries, PMT ISSUER TRUST-FMSR and PMT CO-ISSUER TRUST-FMSR (together, the "Issuer Trusts"), finances MSRs owned by PMC and the related excess servicing spread ("ESS") owned by PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”), another subsidiary of PMT, through a combination of repurchase agreements and term financing.
The repurchase agreement financings for Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS are effected through the issuance of variable funding notes (a Series 2017-VF1 Note, a Series 2024-VF1 Note, and a Series 2024-VF2 Note, together the "FMSR VFNs") by the Issuer Trusts to PMC and PMH in exchange for participation certificates for MSRs and ESS. The FMSR VFNs are then sold by PMC and PMH to qualified institutional buyers under agreements to repurchase. The amounts outstanding under the FMSR VFNs are included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The FMSR VFNs have a combined committed borrowing capacity of $
The term financing for Fannie Mae MSRs is effected through the issuance of term notes (the “FT-1 Term Notes”) by the Issuer Trusts to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and a series of syndicated term loans with various lenders (the “FTL-1 Term Loans").
The FT-1 Term Notes, FTL-1 Term Loans and the FMSR VFNs are secured by participation certificates relating to Fannie Mae MSRs and ESS and rank pari passu with each other.

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be involved in various legal and regulatory proceedings, lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such matters cannot be determined, but despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation, management believes that the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings and exposure will not have, individually or taken together, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, income, or cash flows of the Company.
Litigation
On June 14, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares (each, as defined hereafter) filed a complaint in a putative class action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the "District Court”), captioned Roberto Verthelyi v. PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust and PNMAC Capital Management, LLC, Case No. 2:24-cv-05028 (the “Verthelyi Action”). The Verthelyi Action alleges, among other things, that the Company (and its external investment advisor, PCM), committed unlawful and unfair acts in violation of California’s Unfair Competition Law by replacing its floating three-month London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") dividend rate for the Series A and Series B Preferred Shares with a fixed rate, in violation of the LIBOR Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5801 et seq., and the LIBOR Rule, 12 C.F.R. § 253 et seq.
The Verthelyi Action seeks injunctive relief requiring the Company to implement SOFR as a replacement to the three-month LIBOR rate and damages for the putative class in the form of restitution, interest, disgorgement and other relief. The Company believes it has interpreted the Articles Supplementary to its Series A and Series B Preferred Shares consistent with their terms and, more specifically, the interest rate fallback provisions contained therein, as applied under the LIBOR Act and the LIBOR rules, and that the Verthelyi Action is without merit.
51
On August 20, 2024, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss that was denied by the District Court in an order dated February 26, 2025. The Company responded by filing a motion to certify the order denying the motion for interlocutory appeal, and on May 5, 2025, the District Court issued an Order Granting Certification for Interlocutory Appeal and Staying Action. The Company subsequently petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (the “Ninth Circuit”) for permission to appeal, and that petition was granted by the Ninth Circuit in an order dated July 17, 2025. The matter remains pending.
While no assurance can be provided as to the ultimate outcome of this claim, the Company and PCM plan to vigorously defend the matter. Pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2020, by and between the Company and PCM, the Company has assumed the defense of PCM in the Verthelyi Action.

Note 22—Share-Based Compensation
The Company has an equity incentive plan that provides for the issuance of equity based awards based on Common Shares that may be made by the Company to its officers and trustees, and the members, officers, trustees, directors and employees of PCM, PFSI, or their affiliates and to PCM, PFSI and other entities that provide services to PMT and the employees of such other entities.
The equity incentive plan is administered by the Company’s compensation committee, pursuant to authority delegated by PMT’s board of trustees, which has the authority to make awards to the eligible participants referenced above, and to determine what form the awards will take, and the terms and conditions of the awards.
The equity incentive plan allows for the grant of restricted and performance-based share and unit awards.
The shares underlying award grants will again be available for award under the equity incentive plan if:
Restricted share units have been awarded to trustees and officers of the Company and to other employees of PFSI and its subsidiaries at no cost to the grantees. Such awards generally vest over a one- to

Note 23—Income Taxes

In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes.

Note 24—Earnings Per Common Share
The Company determines earnings per share using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to Common Shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Company’s participating securities are grants of restricted share units that entitle the recipients to receive dividend equivalents during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of Common Shares.
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income reduced by preferred dividends and income attributable to the participating securities) by the weighted average Common Shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of Common Shares and dilutive securities. The Company’s potentially dilutive securities are share-based compensation awards and the exchangeable senior notes described in Note 15— Long-Term Debt. The number of dilutive securities included in diluted earnings per share is calculated using either the treasury stock or if-converted method (whichever is most dilutive) for share-based compensation awards and the if-converted method for the exchangeable senior notes. The number of potentially dilutive securities relating to the exchangeable senior notes is calculated based on the exchange obligation in excess of the principal amount of the exchangeable notes as described in Note 15.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

Note 25—Segments
The Company operates in
The Company’s reportable segments are identified based on PMT’s investment strategies. The following disclosures about the Company’s business segments are presented consistent with the way the Company’s chief operating decision maker organizes and evaluates financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The reportable segments are evaluated based on income or loss before benefit from income taxes.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adopted the FASB’s Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure. Prior year amounts have been recast to conform those years’ presentations to current year presentation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes of PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (“PMT”) included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”).
Statements contained in this Report may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in such statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan” and other similar expressions. You should consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks discussed under the heading “Risk Factors,” as well as our consolidated financial statements, related notes, and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Report and our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are made as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to update or supplement any forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Report to the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PMT and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our Company
We are a specialty finance company that invests in mortgage-related assets. Our objective is to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns to our investors over the long-term, primarily through dividends and secondarily through capital appreciation. A significant portion of our investment portfolio is comprised of mortgage-related assets that we have created through our correspondent production activities, including mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), senior and subordinate mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), and credit risk transfer (“CRT”) arrangements, which absorb credit losses on certain of the loans we have sold. We also invest in Agency and senior non-Agency MBS, subordinate credit-linked MBS and interest-only (“IO”) and principal-only (“PO”) stripped MBS.
We are externally managed by PNMAC Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), an investment adviser that specializes in and focuses on U.S. mortgage assets. Our loans and MSRs are serviced by PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”). PCM and PLS are both indirect controlled subsidiaries of PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. (“PFSI”), a publicly-traded mortgage banking and investment management company separately listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
We operate our business in three segments: credit sensitive strategies, interest rate sensitive strategies and correspondent production. Non-segment activities are included in our corporate operations. Our segment and corporate activities are described below.
We primarily sell the loans we acquire through our correspondent production activities to government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), or the GSEs, or to PLS for sale into securitizations guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae"). Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae are each referred to as an “Agency” and, collectively, as the “Agencies.” We also securitize certain of our loans directly and may retain interests, such as senior and subordinate MBS, from these securitizations.
Our Investment Activities
Credit Sensitive Investments
CRT Arrangements
We have previously entered into loan sales arrangements with Fannie Mae pursuant to which we accepted credit risk relating to the loans sold in exchange for a portion of the interest earned on such loans. These arrangements absorb scheduled or realized credit losses on those loans and comprise the Company’s investments in CRT arrangements.
61
We held net CRT-related investments (comprised of deposits securing CRT arrangements, CRT derivatives, CRT strips and an IO security payable) totaling approximately $1.0 billion at September 30, 2025.
Subordinate Mortgage-Backed Securities
Subordinate credit-linked MBS provide us with a higher yield than senior MBS. However, we incur credit risk in the subordinate credit-linked MBS since they are the first securities to absorb credit losses relating to the underlying loans. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we sold our holdings of the subordinate credit-linked securities that we account for as MBS.
As the result of the Company’s consolidation of the variable interest entities that issued certain of our holdings of subordinate MBS as described in Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities – Subordinate and Senior Non-Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report, we reflect our investments in those securities as loans held for investment and reflect the securities we sell to nonaffiliates as asset-backed financings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we invested approximately $235.9 million in non-Agency subordinate bonds and held $372.8 million at September 30, 2025.
Interest Rate Sensitive Investments
Our interest rate sensitive investments include:
Correspondent Production
Our correspondent production activities involve the acquisition and sale of newly originated prime credit quality residential loans. Correspondent production has served as the source of our investments in MSRs, private label non-Agency securitizations and CRT arrangements. Our correspondent production and resulting investment activity are summarized below:

Beginning in July 2025, PLS became the initial purchaser of loans from correspondent sellers and began transferring agreed-upon volumes of such loans to us. Accordingly, we no longer purchase government loans, and we retain the right to purchase up to 100% of PLS's non-government correspondent production.
62
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we purchased newly originated prime credit quality residential loans with fair values totaling $64.7 billion, including $5.7 billion from PLS, as compared to $67.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in our correspondent production business. Our loan sales included $52.9 billion and $57.5 billion of loans we sold to PLS during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. We received a sourcing fee based on the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of each loan that we sold to PLS under such arrangement, and earned interest income on the loan for the period we held it before the sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, we received sourcing fees totaling $5.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively.
To the extent that we purchased loans that were insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through the Federal Housing Administration, or guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or U.S. Department of Agriculture, we and PLS previously agreed that PLS would fulfill and purchase such loans, as PLS is a Ginnie Mae approved issuer and we are not. This arrangement enabled us to compete with other correspondent aggregators that purchase both government and conventional loans. We also sold conventional loans that we purchased to PLS subject to our and PLS's mutual agreement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold $25.0 billion in UPB of conventional loans to PLS in order to optimize our use and allocation of capital.
Taxation
We believe that we qualify to be taxed as a REIT and as such will not be subject to federal income tax on that portion of our income that is distributed to shareholders as long as we meet applicable REIT asset, income and share ownership tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, our profits will be subject to income taxes and we may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the four tax years following the year we lose our REIT qualification.
A portion of our activities, including our correspondent production business, is conducted in our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), which is subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, we make a provision for income taxes with respect to the operations of our TRS. We expect that the effective rate for the provision for income taxes may be volatile in future periods. Our goal is to manage the business to take full advantage of the tax benefits afforded to us as a REIT.
We evaluate our deferred tax assets quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required based on the consideration of all available positive and negative evidence using a “more-likely-than-not” standard with respect to whether deferred tax assets will be realized. Our evaluation considers, among other factors, taxable loss carryback availability, expectations of sufficient future taxable income, trends in earnings, existence of taxable income in recent years, the future reversal of temporary differences, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented, if required. The ultimate realization of our deferred tax assets depends primarily on our ability to generate future taxable income during the periods in which the related deferred tax assets become deductible.
Non-Cash Investment Income
A substantial portion of our net investment income is comprised of non-cash items, including fair value adjustments and recognition of the fair value of assets created and liabilities incurred in loan sales transactions. Because we have elected, or are required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), to record certain of our financial assets (comprised of MBS, loans held for sale at fair value and loans held for investment at fair value), our derivatives and CRT strips, our MSRs, and our asset-backed financings and interest-only security payable at fair value, a substantial portion of the income or loss we record with respect to such assets and liabilities results from non-cash changes in fair value.
The amounts of net non-cash investment income items included in net investment income are as follows:

Business Trends
Recent actions by the U.S. government administration with respect to trade, tariffs and government cost reduction initiatives and the shutdown of the federal government have led to significant volatility in financial markets and uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, including inflation and interest rates. Elevated interest rates in recent years have constrained growth in the size of the mortgage origination market, which is currently projected to rise from $1.7 trillion in 2024 to $2.0 trillion in 2025, according to mortgage industry economists.
Opportunity for refinancing has increased in recent periods, driven by interest rate volatility and a greater proportion of outstanding mortgage loans with note rates near current market rates. If such interest rate volatility continues, it may drive greater mortgage production activity and higher prepayment speeds than we have experienced in recent years. Additionally, reductions in the Federal Reserve's federal funds rate have reduced the costs of floating rate borrowings and placement fees we receive in relation to custodial funds that we manage as compared to the same period in the prior year.
The current period of economic uncertainty and market volatility may also lead to a reduction in economic activity and slowing home price growth or depreciation, which could lead to increasing mortgage delinquencies or defaults and increased losses. If these effects are realized, they could negatively affect the performance of our credit-sensitive assets such as our CRT arrangements or subordinate MBS and increase losses from our representations and warranties. A prolonged federal government shutdown could increase loan delinquencies, delay the processing of government loan applications and make it more difficult for customers in flood-prone areas to procure government-backed insurance. However, many of the loans underlying our assets have favorable credit characteristics including low loan-to-value ratios, which are likely to moderate the negative effects of credit performance in an economic downturn.
We expect to acquire a portion of the conventional loans and all of the jumbo loans produced in the correspondent channel from PFSI in the fourth quarter of 2025.
We expect to continue investing in subordinate MBS generated from the private label securitization of Agency eligible non-owner occupied and jumbo loans as well as begin to invest in subordinate MBS generated from the private label securitization of Agency eligible owner-occupied loans. This investment activity is also expected to increase our asset-back financing of variable interest entities.

Our net income increased by $16.9 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024, reflecting the effect of reduced mortgage servicing rights and hedging losses partially offset by decreased gains on our investments.
The increase in the quarterly pretax results is summarized below:

Our net income decreased by $38.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting the effect of the increased fair value losses from our MSRs and reduced gains on our CRT-related investments, partially offset by increased gains on MBS and loans held for investment.

The decrease in net gains on investments for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was primarily due to decreased gains from our CRT-related investments. Credit spreads tightened less significantly during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same periods in 2024.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized net valuation gain of $37.6 million and $117.0 million, respectively, as compared to valuation gains of $123.4 million and $50.3 million for the same periods in 2024. The decreased gains recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 reflects interest rates decreasing to a lesser degree compared to the same period in 2024. The increased gains recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 reflect more significant reductions in interest rates compared to the same period in 2024.
66
Loans Held for Investment – Held in VIEs and Asset-backed Financings at Fair Value
Loans held for investment in VIEs and Asset-backed financings at fair value recorded combined net valuation gains of $12.8 million and $10.9 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to valuation gains of $2.4 million and $7.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The net gains during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025 reflect the gains on the underlying assets exceeding the losses on the asset-backed financing as the result of interest rate declines and credit spread tightening on our net investments secured by jumbo loans and investment properties.

The changes in gain on loans held for sale during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, reflect decreased interest rate lock commitments.
Non-cash elements of gain on sale of loans:
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
Our Net gains on loans held for sale include our estimates of gains or losses we expect to realize upon the sale of mortgage loans we have committed to purchase but have not yet purchased or sold. Therefore, we recognize a substantial portion of our net gains before we purchase the loans. These gains are reflected on our balance sheet as IRLC derivative assets and liabilities. We adjust the fair values of our IRLCs as the loan acquisition process progresses until we complete the acquisitions or the commitments are canceled. Such adjustments are included in our Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value. The fair values of our IRLCs become part of the carrying values of our loans when we complete the purchases of the loans. The methods and key inputs we use to measure the fair values of IRLCs are summarized in Note 7 – Fair value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
The MSRs and liabilities for representations and warranties we recognize represent our estimate of the fair value of future benefits and costs we will realize for years in the future. These estimates change as circumstances change, and changes in these estimates are
69
recognized in our consolidated statements of income in subsequent periods. Subsequent changes in the fair value of our MSRs significantly affect our income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
The methods we use to measure and update the measurements of our MSRs as well as the effect of changes in valuation inputs on MSR fair value are detailed in Note 7 – Fair Value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Liability for Losses Under Representations and Warranties
We recognize liabilities for losses we expect to incur relating to the representations and warranties we provide to purchasers in our loan sales transactions. The representations and warranties we provide require adherence to purchaser and insurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws.
In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the loans with the identified defects, reimburse the investor for its loss or indemnify the investor or insurer against credit losses attributable to the loans with indemnified defects. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit losses on the loans. Our credit losses may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent sellers that, in turn, had sold such loans to us and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of those repurchase losses from that correspondent seller.
We recorded a provision for losses relating to representations and warranties relating to current period loan sales of $222,000 and $753,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $459,000 and $917,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Following is a summary of the indemnification, repurchase and loss activity and loans subject to representations and warranties:

The losses on representations and warranties we have recorded to date have been moderated by our ability to recover most of the losses inherent in the repurchased loans from the correspondent sellers. As the outstanding balance of loans we purchase and sell subject to representations and warranties increases, as the loans outstanding season, as our investors’ and guarantors’ loss mitigation strategies change and as our correspondent sellers’ ability and willingness to repurchase loans change, we expect that the level of repurchase activity and associated losses may increase.
The method we use to estimate the liability for representations and warranties is a function of our estimates of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, severities of loss in the event of default and the probabilities of reimbursement by the correspondent loan sellers. We establish a liability at our estimate of its fair value at the time loans are sold and review the adequacy of our recorded liability on a periodic basis.
The amount of the liability for representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, investor and guarantor loss mitigation strategies, our ability to recover any losses inherent in the repurchased loan from the correspondent seller and other external conditions that change over the lives of the underlying loans. We may be required to incur losses related to such representations and warranties for several periods after the loans are sold or liquidated.
We record adjustments to our liability for losses on representations and warranties as economic fundamentals change, as investor and Agency evaluations of their loss mitigation strategies (including claims under representations and warranties) change and as economic conditions affect our correspondent sellers’ ability or willingness to fulfill their recourse obligations to us. Such adjustments may be material to our financial position and results of operations in future periods.
Adjustments to our liability for representations and warranties are included as a component of our Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value. We recorded a $39,000 and $2.1 million reduction in liability for representations and warranties during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, compared to $5.2 million and $18.6 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, due to the effects of certain loans reaching specified performance histories identified by the Agencies as sufficient to limit repurchase claims relating to such loans.
Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees represent fees we charge correspondent sellers relating to our purchase of loans from those sellers. Loan
origination fees decreased during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as we purchased fewer loans for sale to nonaffiliates compared to the same periods in 2024.
Net Loan Servicing Fees
Our net loan servicing fees have two primary components: fees earned for servicing loans and the effects of MSR valuation changes, net of hedging results, as summarized below:

Loan servicing fees that relate to our MSRs are primarily related to servicing we provide for loans included in Agency securitizations. These fees are contractually established at an annualized percentage of the UPB of the loans serviced and we collect
71
these fees from borrower payments. Other loan servicing fees are comprised primarily of borrower-contracted fees, such as late charges and reconveyance fees, as well as incentive fees we receive from the Agencies for loss mitigation activities and fees we charge to correspondent lenders for loans repaid by the borrower shortly after purchase.
The change in contractually-specified fees during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025 is due primarily to the slight reduction in our MSR servicing portfolio, reflecting the reduction of loan sales to nonaffiliates with servicing right retained.
Mortgage Servicing Rights and Hedging
We have elected to carry our MSRs at fair value. Changes in fair value have two components: changes due to realization of the expected servicing cash flows and changes due to changes in the inputs used to estimate fair value. We endeavor to moderate the effects of changes in fair value attributable to changes in fair value inputs (market conditions) primarily by entering into derivative transactions.
Changes in fair value of MSRs and hedging results are summarized below:

Changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs used in our valuation model during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 reflect the effects of expectations for faster future prepayments of the underlying loans due to decreases in interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a steepening interest rate yield curve in the same period in 2024 reflecting slower prepayments and higher projected revenues from custodial deposits.
The increase in loan recapture income from PFSI reflects the increase in refinancing activity in our MSR portfolio during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. We have an agreement with PFSI that requires that when PFSI refinances a loan for which we held the MSRs, we receive a recapture fee. The MSR recapture agreement is summarized in Note 4 ‒ Transactions with Related Parties – Operating Activities to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Hedging results during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were primarily attributable to the impact of volatile interest rates and resulting elevated hedging costs, which were partially offset by fair value gains in Agency MBS.
Changes in realization of cash flows are influenced by changes in the level of servicing assets and liabilities and changes in estimates of remaining cash flows to be realized.

Loan servicing fees decreased by $1.2 million and increased by $1.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease is due to a decline in the MSR portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and the increase is due to an increase in supplemental fees relating to loan modifications and servicing of delinquent loans in our MSR portfolio.

Management fees decreased by $241,000 and $681,000 during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024. This decrease reflects lower average shareholders’ equity during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024.
Loan Fulfillment Fees
Loan fulfillment fees represent fees we pay to PLS for the services it performs on our behalf in connection with our acquisition, packaging and sale of loans. Fulfillment fees decreased $5.3 million and $2.7 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease was due to the decrease in the volume of loans purchased for sale to nonaffiliates. Our loan fulfillment fee structure is described in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Professional services
Professional services expense increased by $6.0 million and $17.2 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, due to increased legal and consulting fees as a result of our securitization activities during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Compensation
Compensation expense increased $1.5 million and $4.0 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, primarily due to an increased allocation of compensation based on the updated terms of the management agreement as described in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report. This increase was partially offset by an $885,000 and $2.9 million decrease in common overhead allocation from PFSI during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, which is included in Other expense.
Loan collection and liquidation
Loan collection and liquidation expenses decreased by $754,000 and increased by $1.6 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, is due to increased servicing costs related to delinquent loans serviced for the Agencies' foreclosure avoidance programs compared to the same period in 2024.

Common overhead allocation from PFSI decreased by $885,000 and $2.9 million during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, due to changes to the allocation method included in the management agreement, described in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.
Income Taxes
We have elected to treat PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”), as a TRS. Income from a TRS is only included as a component of REIT taxable income to the extent that the TRS makes dividend distributions of income to us. A TRS is subject to corporate federal and state income tax. Accordingly, a provision for income taxes for PMC is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
The Company’s effective tax rate was (24.0)% and (30.9)% with consolidated pretax income of $47.0 million and $57.7 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company’s TRS recognized a tax benefit of $11.2 million on a pretax loss of $43.8 million and a tax benefit of $18.7 million on a pretax loss of $131.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025. For the same periods in 2024, the TRS recognized a tax benefit of $15.5 million on a pretax loss of $64.7 million and a tax benefit of $27.5 million on a pretax loss of $115.6 million. The primary difference between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate is generally attributable to nontaxable REIT income resulting from the dividends paid deduction. The
77
September 30, 2025 nine month results were impacted by the enactment of California Senate Bill 132, signed into law on June 27, 2025 and effective January 1, 2025. The law requires financial institutions to apportion their California income using a single sales factor instead of a factor equally weighted with property, payroll and sales. The change in apportionment method resulted in the TRS providing for taxes at a higher rate and a repricing of the TRS’s net deferred tax liability.
The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, as of September 30, 2025, the valuation allowance remains zero as a result of cumulative GAAP income at the TRS for the three-year period ended September 30, 2025. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods based on future income.
In general, cash dividends declared by the Company will be considered ordinary income to the shareholders for income tax purposes. Some portion of the dividends may be characterized as capital gain distributions or a return of capital. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (subject to certain limitations) provides a 20% deduction from taxable income for ordinary REIT dividends. One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law on July 4, 2025, permanently extends the 20% deduction. The remainder of the Act’s provisions are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Total assets increased by approximately $4.1 billion, or 29%, from December 31, 2024 to September 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $3.8 billion in Loans held for investment at fair value and $304.7 million in loans held for sale at fair value, offset by a decrease of $242.1 million in mortgage servicing rights and servicing advances. The increase in Loans held for investments reflect the Company’s ongoing securitizations of loans in non-Agency securitizations. As described in Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report, such transactions are accounted for as on-balance sheet financings, with the loans included in Loans held for investment at fair value and the securities sold treated as Asset-backed financings at fair value.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we purchased for sale $9.3 billion and $64.7 billion, respectively, in fair value of correspondent production loans as compared to $26.5 billion and $67.9 billion during the same periods in 2024. The decrease in loan purchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, relates to PFSI's assumption of the role of initial purchaser of correspondent loans as described in Note 4—Transactions with Related Parties to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report.

Our acquisitions during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were financed through the use of a combination of proceeds from borrowings and liquidations of existing investments. We continue to identify additional means of
79
increasing our investment portfolio through cash flow from our business activities, existing investments, borrowings, and transactions that minimize current cash outlays. However, we expect that, over time, our ability to continue our investment portfolio growth will depend on our ability to raise additional equity capital.

The primary source of negative operating cashflow from loans held for sale relates to the transfer of loans to held for investment pursuant to our securitization activities. The securitization of portions of our correspondent loan production and cash received from such securitizations is accounted for as a financing activity. We may sell these loans based on the market conditions before committing to securitize the loans.
Investing activities
Net cash used in our investing activities was $123.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to net cash provided by our investing activities of $1.1 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which included significant sales of MBS.
Financing activities
Net cash provided by our financing activities was $4.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to net cash used in our financing activities of $67.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This change primarily reflects
the increase in borrowings required to finance the increase in inventory of loans held for sale and newly created investments from our ongoing securitization efforts during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
As discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources, our Manager continually evaluates and pursues additional sources of financing to provide us with future investing capacity. We do not raise equity or enter into borrowings for the purpose of financing the payment of dividends. We believe that our cash earnings are adequate to fund our operating expenses and dividend payment
82
requirements. However, we manage our liquidity in the aggregate and are reinvesting our cash flows in new investments as well as using such cash to fund our dividend requirements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including the purchase of loans from correspondent sellers, our operating expenses and, when applicable, retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt and derivatives positions), make investments as our Manager identifies them, pursue our share repurchase program and make distributions to our shareholders. We generally need to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) to our shareholders to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital to support our activities.
We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be cash flows from our investment portfolio, including cash earnings on our investments, cash flows from business activities, liquidation of existing investments and proceeds from borrowings and/or additional equity offerings. When we finance a particular asset, the amount borrowed is less than the asset’s fair value and we must provide the cash in the amount of such difference. Our ability to continue making investments is dependent on our ability to invest the cash representing such difference.
We expect to continue investing in subordinate MBS generated from the private label securitization which is also expected to increase our variable interest entities’ asset-backed financings.
On August 20, 2025, the Company, PMT ISSUER TRUST—FMSR, PennyMac Corp. (“PMC”), and PennyMac Holdings, LLC (“PMH”) redeemed $350 million of secured term notes (the “Series 2021-FT1 Term Notes”).
83
Debt Financing
Our current debt financing strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. We make collateralized borrowings in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, loan participation purchase and sale agreements and notes payable, including secured term financing for our MSRs and our CRT arrangements that have allowed us to match the term of our borrowings more closely to the expected lives of the assets securing those borrowings. We have also borrowed money by issuing unsecured senior notes.
Our debt financing is summarized below:

The difference between the maximum and average daily amounts outstanding is primarily due to timing of loan purchases and sales in our correspondent production business. The total facility size of our Assets sold under agreements to repurchase was approximately $12.8 billion at September 30, 2025.
Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consists of short-term borrowings, we expect to either renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.
As discussed above, all of our repurchase agreements, and mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements have short-term maturities:
The amount at risk (the fair value of the assets pledged plus the related margin deposit, less the amount advanced by the counterparty and accrued interest) relating to our Assets sold under agreements to repurchase is summarized by counterparty below as of September 30, 2025:

Senior Notes
In June 2025, the Company issued $105 million principal amount of unsecured 9.00% senior notes due June 15, 2030 (the “June 2030 Senior Notes”) and in February 2025, the Company issued $172.5 million principal amount of unsecured 9.00% senior notes due February 15, 2030, together (the "February 2030 Senior Notes” and, collectively with the June 2030 Senior Notes, the “2030 Senior
85
Notes”). In September 2023, the Company issued $53.5 million principal amount of unsecured 8.50% senior notes due September 30, 2028 (the "2028 Senior Notes”). The 2030 Senior Notes and the 2028 Senior Notes are referred to collectively as the “Senior Notes”.
We may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Senior Notes, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the applicable redemption date. No “sinking fund” will be provided for the Senior Notes. The 2028 Senior Notes may be redeemed on or after September 30, 2025, the June 2030 Senior Notes may be redeemed on or after June 15, 2027 and the February 2030 Senior Notes may be redeemed on or after February 15, 2027.
The Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by PMC, including the due and punctual payment of principal of and interest on the Senior Notes, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise (the “PMC Guarantee”). PMC’s operations and investing activities are centered in residential mortgage-related assets, including the creation of and investment in MSRs.
Under the terms of the PMC Guarantee, holders of the Senior Notes will not be required to exercise their remedies against us before they proceed directly against PMC. PMC’s obligations under the guarantee are limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of PMC, result in the guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. The PMC Guarantee will:

Debt Covenants
Our debt financing agreements require us and certain of our subsidiaries to comply with various financial covenants. As of the filing of this Report, these financial covenants include the following:
Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur and impact our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.
PLS is also subject to various financial covenants, both as a borrower under its own financing arrangements and as our servicer under certain of our debt financing agreements. The most significant of these financial covenants currently include the following:
Many of our debt financing agreements contain a condition precedent to obtaining additional funding that requires us to maintain positive net income for at least one (1) of the previous two consecutive quarters, or other similar measures. For the most recent fiscal quarter, the Company is compliant with all such conditions. However, we may be required to obtain waivers from certain lenders in the future if this condition precedent is not met.
87
Our debt financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decline in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement, although in some instances we may agree with the lender upon certain thresholds (in dollar amounts or percentages based on the market value of the assets) that must be exceeded before a margin deficit will arise. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.
Regulatory Capital and Liquidity Requirements
In addition to the financial covenants imposed upon us and PLS as our servicer under our debt financing agreements, we, through PMC and/or PLS, as applicable, are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Agency seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established minimum liquidity and net worth requirements for their approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae for their approved single-family issuers, and Ginnie Mae has also issued risk-based capital requirements. We believe that we and our servicer, PLS, are in compliance with the applicable FHFA and Ginnie Mae requirements as of September 30, 2025.
We and our Manager continue to explore a variety of additional means of financing our business, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, repurchase agreements, term financing, securitization transactions and unsecured debt and equity offerings. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or that such efforts will be successful.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2025, we have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Our management, servicing, and loan fulfillment fee agreements are described in Note 4 – Transactions with Related Parties to the consolidated financial statements included in this Report and are filed as exhibits to our periodic reports.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain of these estimates significantly influence the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Our critical accounting policies primarily relate to our fair value estimates.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which utilize relevant critical accounting estimates.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market-based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are real estate risk, credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, inflation risk and market value risk.
Our primary trading asset is our inventory of loans held for sale. We believe that such assets’ fair values respond primarily to changes in the market interest rates for comparable recently-originated loans. Our other market-risk assets are a substantial portion of our investments and are primarily comprised of MSRs, CRT arrangements and MBS. We believe that the fair values of MSRs and MBS also respond primarily to changes in the market interest rates for comparable loans or yields on MBS. Changes in interest rates are reflected in the prepayment speeds underlying these investments and in the pricing spread (an element of the discount rate) used in their valuation. We believe that the primary market risks to the fair values of our investment in CRT arrangements are changes in market credit spreads and the fair value of the real estate securing the loans underlying such arrangements.
The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and assumptions used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.
