WALTER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CORP. ANNOUNCES RECORD

SECOND QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

 

 

(Tampa, Fla.) - Walter Investment Management Corp. (NYSE: WAC) (“Walter Investment” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as well as updates on operational highlights and recent developments for the Company.

The Company reported GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2013 of $143.2 million, or $3.75 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012.

Core earnings for the second quarter was $178.4 million after taxes, or $4.75 per diluted share, an almost ten-fold increase as compared to the same quarter of last year and 216% greater than in the first quarter of 2013. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $262.1 million, also significantly higher when compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $58.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 and $140.0 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Second quarter results reflected strong earnings growth in both the Servicing and Origination segments, as well as continued strong contributions from the Reverse segment and the Company’s other ancillary businesses. The Servicing segment achieved further increases in earnings from its first half of 2013 portfolio additions of approximately 1.1 million units, over 550,000 of which were boarded in the second quarter, as well as significant increases in incentive, performance and ancillary fees. Servicing results reflected favorable fair value increases on the Company’s mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) which added approximately $1.52 to both GAAP and core earnings per share. Origination segment earnings increased strongly on expected growth in Consumer Direct lending volumes and attractive margins. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company made a correction to its accounting for servicing rights and related intangible assets. There was no significant impact on previously reported net income, earnings per share, stockholders’ equity, or on net cash used in operating activities, and the impact was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any of its previously reported periods.

“Walter Investment continues to execute solidly against its strategic plan, producing strong operational and financial results across our major segments in the second quarter,” said Mark J. O’Brien, Walter Investment’s Chairman and CEO. “Our core Servicing segment continued to deliver solid growth in profits and exceptional operational performance from both existing and recently acquired portfolios of new business. The Originations segment delivered robust production for the quarter generating significant earnings at strong margins, capitalizing on the HARP origination opportunities embedded in our portfolios.”

Other notable developments included:

 

   

On June 19, 2013, Green Tree Servicing, a top rated specialty servicer, had four of its five servicer ratings upgraded to 2+ and its remaining servicer rating reaffirmed at 2+ by Fitch Ratings.

 

   

On July 18, 2013, Green Tree Servicing entered into an agreement to service approximately 130,000 consumer finance loans, significantly extending the Company’s core servicing competency into the unsecured product space.

 

   

On July 29, 2013, the Company entered into a strategic relationship with UFG Holdings, LLC (“UFG”) in connection with UFG’s announced acquisition of Urban Financial Group wherein the company will provide a loan to UFG and receive a warrant to purchase approximately 19% of the members interests and establish a reverse mortgage servicing flow purchase arrangement with the Company’s subsidiary, Reverse Mortgage Solutions.

Second Quarter 2013 Financial and Operating Highlights

Total revenue for the second quarter was $569.2 million, as compared to $150.9 million in the year-ago period. The year-over-year increase in revenue reflects a $168.6 million increase in net servicing revenue and fees and an increase of $235.9 million of net gain on sales of loans from the Originations segment. The Reverse Mortgage segment generated $6.6 million of servicing fees and revenue for the quarter. Net other revenues increased $16.2 million driven primarily by higher fee income in the Originations segment.

Other gains shown in the income statement increased from $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $28.4 million in the second quarter of 2013, principally reflecting net fair value gains from the reverse mortgage business.

Total expense increased from $150.9 million in the second quarter of 2012 to $359.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. The year-over-year increase reflects additional operating and overhead costs, including salaries and benefits and general and administrative expenses, associated with growth in the serviced portfolio and the acquisition and expansion of other businesses. The additions of the Reverse Mortgage and Originations segments added approximately $45.8 million and $104.0 million to expenses, respectively. Expenses also reflected $8.3 million in higher legal, due diligence and other costs associated with increased corporate and business development activities. Interest expense increased by $23.8 million over the prior year reflecting increased corporate debt outstanding and increased warehouse activity at the Company’s Originations and Reverse Mortgage segments.

Segments

Results for the Company’s segments are presented below.

Servicing

The Servicing segment generated revenue of $244.9 million in the second quarter, which included $145.4 million of gross servicing fees, $26.3 million of incentive and performance-based fees, and $17.9 million of ancillary and other revenue and fees. Servicing revenues for the second quarter of 2013 are net of $10.3 million in amortization on MSRs accounted for at amortized costs, but include $93.7 million of positive fair value adjustments related to MSRs accounted for at fair value.

Servicing segment revenues were up 186% from the second quarter of 2012, principally reflecting the significant increase in UPB serviced over the past year, as well as the positive fair value adjustment recognized in the second quarter of this year. The segment continued its trend of producing strong results from its efforts with respect to generating incentive and performance-based fees, which are up by 83% over the prior year. For example, the application of proprietary protocols to the recently acquired first lien GSE pools resulted in a reduction of 30+ day delinquencies by approximately 120 bps as compared to the first quarter of 2013. These recently acquired pools are eligible for incentive fees, and results such as these are expected to lead to significant future incentive revenues.

Expense for the Servicing segment was $131.5 million, which included $9.5 million of depreciation and amortization costs and $5.2 million of interest expense. The segment generated core earnings before income taxes of $129.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 394% as compared to core earnings before income taxes of $26.2 million in the second quarter of 2012.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company made a correction to its accounting for servicing rights acquired at December 31, 2012 and during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Effective with the change, the entire value is now reflected in Servicing rights, net, which increased servicing rights acquired and reduced intangibles by $412.4 million at March 31, 2013 and $17.4 million at December 31, 2012. As a result, intangible amortization previously included in the Originations segment for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $14.1 million is now reflected as part of net servicing revenue and fees in the Servicing segment and in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The effect of this change, beginning in the second quarter, is to include the amounts previously included in intangibles in MSRs accounted for at fair value. This eliminates the related intangible amortization, which is instead reflected in the net disappearance of the servicing right, and the earnings impact is included as an adjustment to net servicing revenue and fees in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Company believes this correction also improves comparability of Company results with industry peers.

The Servicing segment ended the quarter with approximately 1.9 million total accounts serviced, with a UPB of roughly $197 billion. During the quarter, the Company experienced net disappearance rates of 21%. All of these results were in line with or better than Company expectations and projections.

Reverse Mortgage

The Reverse Mortgage segment generated revenue of $9.2 million for the quarter, which included $6.6 million in servicing fees, $0.3 million in gain on sale revenue and $2.4 million of net other revenue. Results also included a $26.7 million other gain from the net impact of HECM loans and HMBS fair value adjustments. Total expenses were $45.8 million, including $2.2 million of interest expense and $2.7 million of depreciation and amortization. The segment reported core earnings before income taxes of $15.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $16.9 million for the second quarter. Reverse Mortgage segment core earnings and Adjusted EBITDA reflect the exclusion of fair value adjustments made in accordance with GAAP and adds as “cash gain” the excess of proceeds received in GNMA financing transactions above the purchase price or cost for the related loans originated or acquired.

Originations

The Originations segment generated revenue of $251.2 million in the second quarter, an increase of $175.1 million, or 230%, over the prior quarter as the business continues to ramp, driven primarily by the consumer direct channel, which targets refinancing and recapture of HARP-eligible accounts from the serviced portfolio. Expense for the Originations segment was $105.3 million, which included $8.6 million of interest expense and $2.7 million of depreciation and amortization. The segment generated core earnings before income taxes of $148.7 million for the second quarter of 2013 and Adjusted EBITDA of $151.7 million.

Realized gains on funded loans as a percentage of funded volume was 367 basis points for the quarter. Loan closings in the second quarter totaled $4.7 billion, with 69% of that volume in the consumer lending channel and 31% generated by the business lending channel. The total application pipeline as of June 30, 2013 was $9.1 billion, with locked applications of $4.2 billion.

Other Segments

The ARM segment generated revenue of $11.2 million and incurred expense of $7.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Core earnings before income taxes was $5.5 million. This compares to revenue of $9.5 million, expenses of $7.4 million, and core earnings before income taxes of $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2012.

Walter Investment’s Insurance segment generated revenue of $18.1 million, offset by expenses of $9.1 million for the second quarter. Insurance segment core earnings before income taxes was $10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. This compares to revenue of $17.0 million, expenses of $10.0 million, and core earnings before income taxes of $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2012.

The Loans and Residuals segment, which includes the legacy Walter Investment owned portfolio, generated interest income of $36.8 million for the second quarter of 2013. Total expense for the segment was $26.6 million, including $21.8 million of interest expense on securitized debt. The Loans and Residuals segment generated pre-tax core earnings of $10.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared to pre-tax core earnings of $8.2 million for the second quarter of 2012. The year over year increase in pre-tax core earnings was primarily driven by lower direct servicing expenses, due to a lower provision for losses impacted by improvements in actual frequency and severity.

Market Commentary and Outlook

Despite increased volatility in the market driven by interest rate movements, the base economic environment including a modest ramp in interest rates, moderate home price appreciation and a steady decline in unemployment, provides a supportive platform for Walter Investment’s core business lines. In addition, the Company believes sector drivers including the regulatory environment, identification of core versus non-core customers at depositories, the burden of higher servicing costs and increased capital implications continue to support the strong operating environment for the business. The pipeline of business development opportunities remains robust, totaling approximately $320 billion in UPB. Transaction flow has picked up over the past 30 days, a trend expected to continue over the balance of 2013. The Company remains highly confident with respect to the significant levels of both subserviced and MSR purchase opportunities in both the current pipeline and in the overall market opportunity over the next 24 to 36 months.

Based on the overall strong market conditions, robust pipeline activity and the progress and results of recent acquisitions, the Company is increasing its previously provided estimated AEBITDA range for 2013 from $650 to $725 million to $700 to $740 million. In addition, the Company is increasing its estimated core earnings for 2013 to a range of $8.90 to $9.40 per diluted share. The increase in fair value of MSRs of approximately $1.52 per diluted share recognized in the second quarter is included in these estimates. The previously discussed accounting change in accounting for intangibles represents an approximately $1.88 per share increase in the estimate for core earnings for 2013 versus previous estimates. Adjusting for both the MSR accounting impact and the fair value increase recorded for the second quarter, updated estimates represents an approximately 14% increase in core earnings per share over the previous estimate, at the midpoints of these estimates.

Additionally, based on the Company’s outlook for market and economic conditions and solid expectations for performance in its key businesses, Walter Investment is providing after tax core earnings per share estimates for 2014 of $6.00 to $6.50 per share. This range includes estimates for certain business development and growth opportunities, depreciation and amortization and the Company’s expected capital structure. Neither 2013 nor 2014 estimates include an estimate for future fair value adjustments.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future.

Core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. See the Definitions included in this document for a description of how these items are reported and see the Non-GAAP Reconciliations for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures can be useful to investors because they provide a means by which investors can evaluate the Company’s underlying key drivers and operating performance of the business, exclusive of certain adjustments and activities that investors may consider to be unrelated to the underlying economic performance of the business for a given period.

Use of Core Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA by Management

The Company manages the business based upon the achievement of core earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and similar targets and has designed certain management incentives based upon the achievement of pre-tax income and Adjusted EBITDA in order to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare underlying operating results to prior and future periods.

Limitations on the Use of Core Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA

Since core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings per share measure the Company’s financial performance excluding certain depreciation and amortization costs related to acquisitions, transaction and merger integration-related costs, share-based compensation expense, certain other non-cash adjustments, and the net impact of the consolidated Non-Residual Trust VIEs, they may not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA measures the Company’s financial performance excluding depreciation and amortization costs, corporate and MSR facility interest expense, transaction and merger integration-related costs, share-based compensation expense, certain other non-cash adjustments, the net impact of the consolidated Non-Residual Trust VIEs and certain other items, including, but not limited to pro-forma synergies, they may not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA involve differences from segment profit (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share computed in accordance with GAAP. Core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, segment profit (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company’s financial performance.

Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP earnings. Further, the non-GAAP measures presented by Walter Investment may be defined or calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies.

Definitions

Core Earnings This disclaimer applies to every usage of Core Earnings and related terms such as Pre Tax Core Earnings, Core Earnings After Taxes and Core Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) in this document. Core Earnings is a metric that is used by management to exclude certain items in an attempt to provide a better earnings per share metric to evaluate the Company’s underlying key drivers and operating performance of the business, exclusive of certain adjustments and activities that investors may consider to be unrelated to the underlying economic performance of the business for a given period. Core Earnings excludes certain depreciation and amortization costs related to business combination transactions, transaction and merger integration-related costs, share-based compensation expense, certain other non-cash adjustments, and the net impact of the consolidated Non-Residual Trust VIEs. Core Earnings includes both cash and non-cash gains from forward mortgage origination activities. Non-cash gains are net of non-cash charges or reserves provided. Core Earnings excludes the impact of fair value

option (“FVO”) accounting and includes cash gains for reverse mortgage origination activities. Core Earnings may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a means of evaluating our core operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA This disclaimer applies to every usage of Adjusted EBITDA and related terms such as Pro-Forma Adjusted EBITDA and AEBITDA in this document. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance metric used by management in evaluating the performance of our Company and its segments. Adjusted EBITDA is generally presented in accordance with its definition in the Company’s senior secured credit agreement, with certain exceptions, and represents income before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest expense on corporate debt, transaction and integration related costs, the net effect of the non-residual VIEs and certain other non-cash income and expense items. Adjusted EBITDA includes both cash and non-cash gains from forward mortgage origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of fair value option (“FVO”) accounting and includes cash gains for reverse mortgage origination activities. Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA includes an adjustment to reflect pro-forma synergies in 2011 and 2012 and to reflect Green Tree as having been acquired at the beginning of the year for periods prior to the actual acquisition date. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a means of evaluating our core operating performance. The definition of Adjusted EBITDA used in this document differs from the definition in the Company’s senior secured credit agreement principally in that (i) the credit agreements include a pro forma adjustment for the projected EBITDA of acquisitions that were made less than twelve months ago and (ii) the senior secured credit agreement does not include the non-cash gains from forward mortgage origination activities in Adjusted EBITDA.

2013 Estimated Adjusted EBITDA, 2013 Estimated Core Earnings, 2014 Estimated Core Earnings and other amounts or metrics that relate to future earnings projections are forward-looking and subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Walter Investment and its management, and are based upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to change. Actual results will vary and those variations may be material. Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that this target will be achieved and the Company undertakes no duty to update this target. Please refer to the introductory slides of this presentation, as well as additional disclosures in this Appendix and in our Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC, for important information regarding Forward Looking Statements and the use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
