Key Components of Net Earnings
-
Mortgage lending volumes increased in the second quarter of 2014 to
$465.2 million from$353.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 and decreased as compared to$780.1 million in the second quarter of 2013. -
Mortgage lending revenues and margins increased in the second quarter
of 2014 to
$6.5 million , or 141 bps, from$4.6 million , or 130 bps in the first quarter of 2014, and decreased as compared to$20.5 million , or 262 bps, in the second quarter of 2013. -
Mortgage servicing income decreased in the second quarter of 2014 to
$1.3 million from$1.6 million in the first quarter of 2014, due to servicing sales completed in the first quarter, and increased as compared to$1.0 million in the second quarter of 2013. -
Mortgage servicing rights decreased
$19.8 million to $16.2 million atJune 30, 2014 as compared to$36.0 million atDecember 31, 2013 . The decrease is due to bulk sales of servicing rights totaling$1.6 billion in UPB, and the sale of AmeriHome, which had servicing rights totaling$702.1 million in UPB. Partially offsetting the decrease was servicing retained loan sales of$807.0 million . AtJune 30, 2014 , we serviced$1.6 billion in UPB as compared to$3.1 billion atDecember 31, 2013 . -
Real estate services revenue increased to
$4.4 million in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to$3.7 million in the first quarter of 2014 and decreased compared to$5.2 million in the second quarter of 2013. -
In our long-term mortgage portfolio, based on continued improved
performance of the portfolio which was better than expected, we
updated certain loss and discount rate assumptions in the portfolio at
June 30, 2014 resulting in a$4.3 million increase in the estimated fair value of the net trust assets in the second quarter of 2014. -
Expenses decreased in the second quarter of 2014 to
$13.9 million from$14.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, and as compared to$25.4 million in the second quarter of 2013.
The increase in lending volume was predominately due to the ongoing low interest rate environment, resulting in a 38% increase in wholesale and correspondent originations, as compared to the first quarter of 2014. Mortgage lending margins improved over the first quarter due to a higher concentration of government loans, which have higher margins.
Purchase money transactions as a percentage of overall originations have increased in the second quarter of 2014 to 53%, as compared to 42% in the first quarter of 2014, and 39% in the second quarter of 2013. We believe the increase in purchase money transactions in the last two quarters was primarily a result of our recent focus in sales and operations to provide a better purchase transaction related customer service experience.
During the second quarter of 2014 the Company successfully continued its strategy to increase the correspondent and wholesale channel originations. In the second quarter of 2014, our wholesale and correspondent channels, combined, contributed 97% of total originations as compared to 71% in the second quarter of 2013.
The long-term mortgage portfolio, which primarily includes residual
interests in securitizations (represented by the difference between
total net trust assets and total trust liabilities), has recently
performed better than expected. The cash received from the residual
interests was approximately
Recent Developments
In the second half of 2014, we anticipate a continued increase in overall originations as well as our operational efficiencies. The Company will work to increase originations through its business to business channels, by expanding our sales forces, by hiring experienced lending sales personal for our wholesale and correspondent channels and increasing efficiencies and service to our customers. By leveraging our re-warehousing division, we hope to increase the capture rate of our approved correspondent sellers business as well as expand our active customer base to include new customers seeking warehouse lines. We also intend to continue to increase operational efficiencies and pull through rates by launching our new loan origination system across all three origination channels, streamlining our origination process and focusing on an analytics based customer management methodology.
We are finalizing development of our non-Qualified Mortgage loan programs, being marketed as ‘AltQM’, along with qualified mortgages not eligible for delivery to the GSE’s and are in the process of launching this product offering. We are expecting to begin loan funding’s and acquisitions during the third quarter of 2014. We believe there is an underserved market for these programs where certain borrowers are finding financing for purchase or refinance is either non-existent or available with stringent and costly parameters. These underserved borrowers include self-employed borrowers with good credit, borrowers who have a debt to income ratios over 43%, and borrowers that are slightly outside the agency guidelines. We believe this is a market of significant size and are encouraged by the initial inquiries we have received from existing and new customers that originate these loans.
In conjunction with launching these new AltQM products, we are establishing a strategic relationship which will provide balance sheet capacity to fund these non-conforming loans. The Company’s management worked diligently on these programs to comply with all applicable State and Federal laws, in addition to creating underwriting eligibility guidelines designed to ensure higher credit quality loan performance.
