COOP - Mr. Cooper Group Reports Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results
- Generated record Originations pretax income of $118 million on record funded volume of $10 billion
- Grew servicing portfolio to $644 billion, up 2% quarter-over-quarter
- Xome reported pretax income of $7 million and pretax operating income of $10 million, due to significant progress in integrating Assurant Mortgage Solutions (AMS)
- Reported pretax loss of $(117) million or EPS of $(0.96) per share driven by $(231) million mark-to-market and pretax operating income of $118 million
- Completed integration of Pacific Union and Seterus
Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NASDAQ: COOP) (the "Company"), which principally operates under the Mr. Cooper® and Xome® brands, reported a second quarter net loss of $(87) million, $(0.96) per diluted share, driven predominately by a net fair value mark-to-market on the MSR portfolio of $(231) million. Excluding the mark-to-market and other items, the Company reported pretax operating income of $118 million. Items excluded from operating income were $(231) million in mark-to-market, net of the add back of $26 million in fair value amortization that is included in the mark-to-market, $17 million in merger related costs, and $13 million in intangible amortization.
Chairman and CEO Jay Bray commented, “The Originations segment made a major contribution this quarter, posting record pretax profits of $118 million on record funding of $10 billion. This strong performance is the result of several years of operational focus and technology investments, as well as the Pacific Union acquisition. The Originations segment now acts as a much stronger macro hedge for our servicing operation, and we believe it will play a major role in helping us achieve our profitability and shareholder return targets.”
Chris Marshall, vice chairman and CFO added, “In addition to strong Originations results, Xome produced a significant increase in profits, reflecting the successful migration of the Assurant back-office, strong refinance-driven results in Title & Close, and third-party client wins in the Auction Exchange. We believe Xome has the potential to contribute significantly to the Company’s returns over time.”
Servicing
The Servicing segment is focused on providing a best-in-class home loan experience for our 3.8 million customers while simultaneously strengthening asset performance for investors. In the second quarter, Servicing recorded pretax loss of $(135) million primarily driven by a net fair value mark-to-market on the MSR portfolio of $(231) million. During the quarter the total servicing portfolio grew 2% quarter-over-quarter to $644 billion UPB. Servicing earned pretax operating income excluding the mark-to-market of $96 million, equivalent to a servicing margin of 6.0 bps. At quarter end, the carrying value of the MSR was $3.5 billion, equivalent to 111 bps of MSR UPB, and the original cost basis was 85 bps.

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 company and servicing segment eliminates the effects of mark-to-markets 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, 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.

?¹? For Servicing segment results purposes, all revenue is attributable to servicing the portfolio. Therefore, $35 of net gain on mortgage loans is moved to service related, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019. For consolidated results purposes, these amounts were reclassed to net gain on mortgage loans held for sale. ?²? Amount represents additional amortization required under the fair value amortization method over the cost amortization method. |
