Nationstar Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (NYSE:NSM), which principally operates under the Mr. Cooper® and Xome® brands, reported second quarter GAAP net income of $58 million, or $0.59 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis, the Company reported earnings for the second quarter of $52 million, or $0.53 per diluted share.

"Nationstar continues to deliver solid operating results with all segments experiencing growth. Servicing profitability is improving ahead of expectations, and significant opportunities exist for further growth. Originations grew in profitability and volume, and it is focused on providing solutions for our 3.2 million customers. Xome sales and order volumes increased with the continued addition of new third-party clients," said Jay Bray, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We have received all required approvals for our merger transaction with WMIH and we expect to close the merger on July 31. We appreciate the support of our shareholders, the WMIH shareholders and our partners who have provided these approvals. We look forward to growing our differentiated platform and building value for our shareholders and customers."

Servicing

Servicing supports home ownership for our 3.2 million customers and earns recurring revenues from mortgage servicing rights and subservicing. The Servicing segment earned $88 million GAAP pretax income or $72 million adjusted pretax income (5.8 basis points). Adjusted pretax profitability improved 5% from the prior quarter primarily due to lower expenses. Expenses improved by $16 million or 9% quarter-over-quarter as a result of improved efficiencies in the segment.

Nationstar boarded $20 billion UPB, ending the second quarter at $498 billion. An estimated $65 billion UPB, consisting of both mortgage servicing rights and subservicing, is scheduled to board in the second half of the year. Nationstar continues to evaluate significant servicing growth opportunities and expects to end the year with over $530 billion.

Nationstar is targeting adjusted servicing profitability in excess of 6.0 basis points on average for the full year 2018 which will be propelled by lower prepayment environment, portfolio additions, and continued cost savings initiatives.

Originations

Originations creates servicing assets at attractive margins through recapture of existing customers, new customer acquisitions, and correspondent originations. The Originations segment earned $32 million GAAP pretax income or $33 million adjusted pretax income, an increase of 32% from the prior quarter primarily attributable to higher volume and reduced expenses.

Nationstar funded over 25,000 loans totaling approximately $5.5 billion which was composed of $2.6 billion from the consumer direct channel and $2.9 billion from the correspondent channel. The consumer direct channel is primarily focused on improving cash flow and consolidating debt for nearly 750,000 customers identified from the servicing portfolio. A new mobile app called Home Intelligence is expected to be available to Nationstar's 3.2 million customers later in third quarter to help them optimize their personal balance sheets and further add volume for the channel.

Nationstar is targeting Originations adjusted pretax income of $120 million for the full year 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company utilizes non-GAAP (or "adjusted") 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 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 adjustments 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. Adjusted pre-tax 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. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) also eliminates in each segment, as applicable, transition and integration costs, gains (losses) on sales of fixed assets, certain settlement costs that are not considered normal operational matters, and other adjustments based on the facts and circumstances that would provide investors a supplemental means for evaluating the Company's core operating performance.
