COOP - Mr. Cooper Group Reports First Quarter 2022 Results

  • Reported total net income of $658 million including MSR mark of $552 million, equivalent to ROCE of 71.7%
  • Book value per share increased to $53.81 and Tangible book value per share increased to $52.01
  • Servicing UPB grew to $796 billion, up 27% y/y
  • Repurchased 0.7 million common shares for $35 million
  • Closed Sagent transaction resulting in pretax gain of $223 million

Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NASDAQ: COOP) (the “Company”), which principally operates under the Mr. Cooper® and Xome® brands, reported a first quarter net income of $658 million or $8.59 per diluted share. Net income included other mark-to-market of $552 million, which excludes fair value of excess spread accretion of $1 million. Excluding other mark-to-market and other items, the Company reported pretax operating income of $96 million. Other items included $223 million gain from the Sagent transaction, $3 million in charges related to severance, and $2 million of intangible amortization.

Chairman and CEO Jay Bray commented, “During the quarter we were able to react quickly and take advantage of attractively priced acquisition opportunities, and we were awarded sizeable subservicing mandates, which together produced spectacular growth in our servicing portfolio, which reached $796 billion. We now have 3.9 million customers, and nothing is more important to us than delighting every single customer with a personalized, friction-free experience that helps them achieve their goals.”

Chris Marshall, Vice Chairman and President added, “While the sharp rise in interest rates will place pressure on the originations industry, we are in a much better position than most, as we stand to benefit from significant improvements in servicing profitability during 2022.”

Servicing

The Servicing segment is focused on providing a best-in-class home loan experience for our 3.9 million customers while simultaneously strengthening asset performance for investors. In the first quarter, Servicing recorded pretax income of $558 million, including other mark-to-market of $552 million. The forward servicing portfolio ended the quarter at $796 billion in UPB. Servicing generated pretax operating income, excluding other mark-to-market, of $7 million. At quarter end, the carrying value of the MSR was $6,006 million equivalent to 146 bps of MSR UPB.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes non-GAAP financial measures as the measures provide additional information to assist investors in understanding and assessing the Company’s and our business segments’ ongoing performance and financial results, as well as assessing our prospects for future performance. The adjusted operating financial measures facilitate a meaningful analysis and allow more accurate comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of or are unrelated to the Company’s and our business segments’ core operating performance, and are better measures for assessing trends in our underlying businesses. These notable items are consistent with how management views our businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operational and planning decisions and evaluating the Company’s and our business segment’s ongoing performance. Pretax operating income (loss) in the servicing segment eliminates the effects of mark-to-market adjustments which primarily reflects unrealized gains or losses based on the changes in fair value measurements of MSRs and their related financing liabilities for which a fair value accounting election was made. These adjustments, which can be highly volatile and material due to changes in credit markets, are not necessarily reflective of the gains and losses that will ultimately be realized by the Company. Pretax operating income (loss) in each segment also eliminates, as applicable, transition and integration costs, gains (losses) on sales of fixed assets, certain settlement costs that are not considered normal operational matters, intangible amortization, and other adjustments based on the facts and circumstances that would provide investors a supplemental means for evaluating the Company’s core operating performance. Return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) is computed by dividing net income by average tangible common equity (also known as tangible book value). Tangible common equity equals total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Management believes that ROTCE is a useful financial measure because it measures the performance of a business consistently and enables investors and others to assess the Company’s use of equity. Tangible book value is defined as stockholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Our management believes tangible book value is useful to investors because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and intangible assets.
