\u0424\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043d\u0441\u043e\u0432\u044b\u0435 \u0443\u0441\u043b\u0443\u0433\u0438 PennyMac<\/strong> reported first-quarter net income of $82.3 million, or $1.53 per diluted share, as stronger mortgage production helped offset weaker servicing results tied to mortgage servicing rights valuation changes and hedging losses.<\/p>\n

The Westlake Village, California-based mortgage lender and servicer posted adjusted net income of $117.7 million, or $2.19 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31. Annualized adjusted return on equity (ROE) was 11%. Book value per share rose to $83.31 from $82.77 at the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

Chairman and CEO \u0414\u044d\u0432\u0438\u0434 \u0421\u043f\u0435\u043a\u0442\u043e\u0440<\/a> said the company repurchased 560,000 shares during the quarter for $50 million at an average price of $89.28 per share because management saw \u201ctremendous value in the stock at these price levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

PennyMac also said it remains on track to close \u0435\u0433\u043e \u043f\u0440\u0438\u043e\u0431\u0440\u0435\u0442\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435<\/a> \u0438\u0437 Cenlar\u2019s<\/strong> subservicing business in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur teams are collaborating effectively to ensure a seamless integration,\u201d Spector said on the company\u2019s earnings call, adding that the company expects \u201cstrong returns from this acquisition\u201d and benefits from added scale and diversification.<\/p>\n

Pretax income totaled $104.7 million, down from $134.4 million in the prior quarter<\/a> but roughly unchanged from a year earlier.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s production segment generated pretax income of $133.6 million, up 5% from the fourth quarter and more than double from a year earlier. Total loan acquisitions and originations reached $37 billion in unpaid principal balance, down 12% from the prior quarter.<\/p>\n

Consumer and broker direct channels represented 75% of acquisition revenue during the quarter, Chief Financial Officer Dan Perotti said.<\/p>\n

Broker direct originations rose 3% from the prior quarter, while lock volumes increased 26%. Consumer direct originations climbed 15% sequentially, with lock volumes up 24%.<\/p>\n

Utilizing AI<\/h2>\n

Spector said PennyMac completed the deployment of its Vesta loan origination platform<\/a> in the consumer direct channel during the quarter and has begun using AI agents to reduce manual tasks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are rapidly moving towards a model with exceptionally low manual intervention, and in some cases, will remove human touch points entirely,\u201d Spector said, alluding PennyMac\u2019s move beyond workflow assistance.<\/p>\n

Spector added that the platform is already reducing costs per loan and shortening closing times while improving refinance recapture rates.<\/p>\n

Conventional first-lien \u0440\u0435\u0444\u0438\u043d\u0430\u043d\u0441\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0442\u044c<\/a> recapture rates rose to 22% in the first quarter from 17% in the prior quarter and approached 30% in April, according to the earnings release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also started the successful release of AI agents within our fulfillment process across multiple products,\u201d Spector said. \u201cThis new system has already substantially improved the customer experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

PennyMac said direct expenses in the consumer direct channel have fallen 26% from 2022 levels, while servicing operating expenses as a percentage of servicing unpaid principal balance declined 24% to 4.5 basis points.<\/p>\n

Servicing segment<\/h2>\n

The \u043e\u0431\u0441\u043b\u0443\u0436\u0438\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435<\/a> segment reported pretax income of $12.7 million, down from $37.3 million in the fourth quarter and $76 million a year earlier.<\/p>\n

The decline was largely tied to mortgage servicing rights valuation-related losses and hedge costs. PennyMac recorded a $177 million increase in mortgage servicing rights fair value, driven primarily by changes in market interest rates, but this was offset by $221 million in hedge-related fair value losses and costs.<\/p>\n

Perotti said the company increased its hedge ratio to near 100% during the quarter to manage agency mortgage-backed securities spread volatility and preserve book value stability.<\/p>\n

The servicing portfolio totaled $720.3 billion in unpaid principal balance at quarter-end, down 2% from Dec. 31.<\/p>\n

Corporate and other operations posted a pretax loss of $41.5 million, compared with a $30.2 million loss in the previous quarter. The increase was partly driven by $9 million in marketing expenses tied to the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games and $3 million in transaction costs related to the Cenlar acquisition.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, PennyMac said it now expects adjusted returns on equity in the low- to mid-teens during the second half of 2026, down from prior guidance for mid- to high-teen returns.<\/p>\n

Spector attributed the revised outlook to accelerated technology investments and expectations for lower mortgage origination demand if interest rates remain elevated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to expect PFSI to achieve ROEs in the high teens to low 20% range\u201d over the long term through technology investments and greater scale, he said.<\/p>\n

The company ended the quarter with $4.2 billion in total liquidity, including cash and available borrowing capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
