News Release
2011
IRVINE, CA, Aug 15, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (NYSE Amex: IMH), a Maryland corporation, along with its subsidiaries and affiliates, or the "Company," reports second quarter 2011 net earnings of $361 thousand or $0.04 per diluted common share, as compared to net earnings of $3.3 million or $0.39 per diluted common share for the second quarter of 2010.
In the first six months of 2011, the Company continued its expansion into mortgage lending by increasing loan production through the opening of new regional production offices and increased warehouse funding capacity. In March 2011, the Company opened regional production offices in the Pacific Northwest and Gulf Coast regions giving the Company origination capabilities throughout the entire West Coast and Gulf Coast regions. As part of this expansion, the Company invested approximately $2.0 million in its mortgage lending operations infrastructure, consisting principally of additional personnel and occupancy costs which was in part, the reason for the net loss incurred during the first six months of 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the new production offices originated approximately $125.6 million of primarily agency and government insured residential mortgage loans. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company in total originated $226.3 million and $282.4 million and sold $208.4 million and $231.5 million, respectively, as compared to a minimal amount of loans brokered in the first six months of 2010.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had increased its warehouse funding capacity to $77.5 million. In August 2011, the Company, through Integrated Real Estate Service Corp. (IRES) and its subsidiaries, obtained approval from a lender for an additional $25 million warehouse facility, increasing the Company's warehouse funding capacity to $102.5 million.
The Company is currently focusing on originating Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA loans, and although it expects to sell the majority of the originations servicing released, it does intend to build a servicing portfolio of mainly Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae loans through a best execution strategy. The Company believes having the ability to sell loans to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae will help make it more competitive in the overall mortgage origination market. As part of the strategy to operate as a synergistic mortgage and real estate services platform, the marketing for mortgage lending includes obtaining leads for new loans from the Company's loss mitigation, short sale and REO disposition activities.
Geographically, the Company is focusing on building mortgage lending in 2011 in the Pacific Coast, Southwest and Gulf Coast regions, mainly in California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and to a lesser extent Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Louisiana and Texas. The main origination channel will be wholesale lending, through an approved broker base which will represent the majority of the Company's lending volumes, while consumer or realtor direct retail originations will represent the remaining balance of projected production. In addition, recently the Company added a small wholesale division in the Southeast focusing on building wholesale originations in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Washington DC.
The Company's integrated mortgage and real estate service platform also provides portfolio loss mitigation and real estate services including REO surveillance and disposition services, default surveillance and loss recovery services, short sale and real estate brokerage services, portfolio monitoring and reporting services, as well as title and escrow services. The title insurance agency services primarily California and selected national markets providing title insurance, escrow and settlement services to residential mortgage lenders, real estate agents, asset managers and real estate owned (REO) companies in the residential real estate market. The title and escrow services are provided through a proprietary integrated technology platform. The development of these business activities focuses on vertical integration of a centralized platform to operate synergistically to maximize revenues and profits.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, mortgage and real estate services fees were as follows:

1. Since our consolidated and unconsolidated securitization trusts are nonrecourse to us, we have netted trust assets and liabilities to present the Company's interests in these trusts more simply, which are considered our residual interests in securitizations.
In May 2011, the Company entered into a $10.3 million structured debt agreement with the same note holder as the previous debt agreement, using seven of the Company's residual interests (net trust assets) as collateral. The Company received net proceeds of $4.8 million, net of the following: (i) $4.0 million used to pay off the remaining balance owed on the previous debt agreement, (ii) a $1.4 million discount and (iii) deal costs of approximately $50 thousand. The new debt agreement requires equal principal payments over 18 months with all distributions from the underlying residuals being used to make the monthly payments until the balance is repaid. If the cumulative residual payments are not sufficient to pay the required monthly principal and interest the Company would be required to pay the difference to avoid the transfer of the residuals and the rights to the associated future cash flows to the note holder. Any excess cash flows from the residuals are included in a reserve account, which is available to cover future shortfalls. During the first six months of 2011, the Company received $3.2 million in excess cash flows from the residuals collateralizing the debt agreement. The $3.2 million in excess cash flows is included in restricted cash.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the primary sources of cash were $26.7 million in fees generated from the mortgage and real estate fee-based businesses, $6.0 million from residual interests in securitizations (net of the aforementioned excess cash deposited into the reserve account) and $4.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of the new debt agreement. Offsetting the sources of cash were primarily operating expenses.
Outlook
Mr. Joseph Tomkinson, Chairman and CEO of Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., stated, "Through the remainder of 2011, the Company will continue to focus on expanding the residential mortgage lending operations profitability, increasing volumes through retail and wholesale channels, and selling loans to Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae thereby expanding the servicing portfolio. As the real estate market continues to struggle, the Company seeks to expand its high margin portfolio loss mitigation and real estate services to third parties. We are pleased with our accomplishments and performance in 2010, as well as what we have achieved in the first half of 2011. We look forward to continued growth in the remainder of 2011."
