“PMT produced solid levels of income excluding market-driven value changes in the second quarter,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “This positive core performance was offset by net fair value declines due to interest rate volatility as well as a non-recurring tax adjustment. During the quarter, we opportunistically issued $105 million in unsecured senior notes, demonstrating our strong access to the capital markets, while strengthening our balance sheet and extending our debt maturity profile. Additionally, we firmly established PMT as a leading issuer of private label securitizations, successfully executing four private label securitizations totaling $1.4 billion in UPB, with retained investments of more than $150 million at attractive returns. This recent securitization activity exemplifies our increased emphasis on diversifying and organically growing our credit-sensitive investments as well as our ability to adapt to the evolving mortgage landscape.”

Mr. Spector continued, “Our synergistic relationship with our manager and services provider, PFSI, provides unique access to best in class technology, operational processes and a consistent, high-quality pipeline of loans. These strategic advantages collectively distinguish us from other mortgage REITs and enhance our ability to manage through market uncertainty. As a result, I remain confident in the ability of our seasoned and experienced management team to navigate successfully through this rapidly changing environment.”

Credit Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Credit Sensitive Strategies segment primarily includes results from PMT’s organically-created government sponsored enterprise (GSE) credit risk transfer (CRT) investments, opportunistic investments in other GSE CRT, and investments in non-Agency subordinate bonds from private-label securitizations of PMT’s production. Pretax income for the segment was $21.8 million on net investment income of $21.9 million, compared to pretax income of $1.1 million on net investment income of $1.2 million in the prior quarter.

Net gains on investments in the segment were $19.8 million, compared to net losses of $43 thousand in the prior quarter. These net gains include $20.3 million of gains from PMT’s organically-created GSE CRT investments, $0.5 million from gains on other GSE CRT investments, and $1.0 million of losses on investments from non-Agency subordinate bonds from PMT’s production.

 

3

Net gains on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments for the quarter were $20.3 million, compared to net losses of $1.8 million in the prior quarter. These net gains include $7.8 million in valuation-related gains, which reflected the impact of credit spread tightening in the second quarter. The prior quarter included $14.5 million of losses due to credit spread widening. Net gains on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments also included $13.6 million in realized gains and carry, compared to $14.0 million in the prior quarter. Realized losses during the quarter were $1.2 million, similar to levels realized in prior quarters.

Net interest income for the segment totaled $2.1 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $21.0 million, up from $19.5 million in the prior quarter. Interest expense totaled $18.8 million, up from $18.1 million in the prior quarter.

Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies segment includes results from investments in MSRs, Agency MBS, non-Agency senior MBS and interest rate hedges. Pretax loss for the segment was $4.9 million on net investment income of $20.7 million, compared to pretax loss of $5.5 million on net investment income of $19.7 million in the prior quarter. The segment includes investments that typically have offsetting fair value exposures to changes in interest rates. For example, in a period with increasing interest rates, MSRs are expected to increase in fair value, whereas Agency pass-through and non-Agency senior MBS are expected to decrease in fair value.

The results in the Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies segment consist of net gains and losses on investments, net loan servicing fees and net interest income, as well as associated expenses.

Net loan servicing fees were $23.9 million, compared to losses of $27.2 million in the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees included contractually specified servicing fees of $153.1 million and $5.1 million in other fees, reduced by $97.8 million in realization of MSR cash flows, which was up from $88.8 million in the prior quarter due to higher realized and projected prepayment activity. Net loan servicing fees also included $22.7 million in fair value gains on MSRs, $60.6 million in hedging losses which were impacted by extreme rate volatility in April, and $1.5 million of MSR recapture income.

Net gains on investments for the segment were $13.9 million, which primarily consisted of gains on MBS. PMT’s hedging activities are intended to manage its net exposure across all interest rate sensitive strategies, which include MSRs, MBS and related tax effects.

Net interest expense for the segment was $17.1 million versus $15.4 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $137.5 million, up from $119.9 million in the prior quarter primarily due to a higher amount of retained investments from Agency-eligible investor loan securitizations. Interest expense totaled $154.6 million, up from $135.3 million in the prior quarter.

Segment expenses were $25.6 million, compared to $25.2 million in the prior quarter.

Correspondent Production Segment

PMT acquires newly originated loans from correspondent sellers and typically sells or securitizes the loans, resulting in current-period income and additions to its investments in MSRs related to a portion of its production. PMT’s Correspondent Production segment generated pretax income of $13.7 million in the second quarter, up from $10.1 million in the prior quarter.

 

5

Through its correspondent production activities in the second quarter, PMT acquired a total of $29.8 billion in UPB of loans, up 30 percent from the prior quarter and 32 percent from the second quarter of 2024. Of total correspondent acquisitions from non-affiliates, government-insured or guaranteed acquisitions totaled $13.2 billion, up 18 percent from the prior quarter, and conventional conforming and jumbo acquisitions totaled $16.6 billion, up 41 percent from the prior quarter. $3.1 billion of conventional conforming and jumbo volume was for PMT’s account, up 11 percent from the prior quarter. Additionally, PMT acquired $1.0 billion in UPB of loans acquired or originated by PFSI for inclusion in private label securitizations, up from $637 million in the prior quarter. Interest rate lock commitments on conventional conforming and jumbo loans for PMT’s account totaled $3.5 billion, up 29 percent from the prior quarter.

Under a renewed mortgage banking services agreement with PFSI, effective July 1, 2025, correspondent production volumes are initially acquired by PFSI. However, PMT will retain the right to purchase up to 100 percent of non-government correspondent loan production. PMT is expected to acquire all jumbo correspondent production and 15 to 25 percent of total conventional conforming correspondent production in the third quarter of 2025, compared to its retention of 17 percent in the second quarter of 2025.

Segment revenues were $26.9 million and included net gains on loans acquired for sale of $17.8 million, net interest income of $5.6 million, and other income of $3.4 million, which primarily consists of volume-based origination fees. Net gains on loans acquired for sale increased $5.5 million from the prior quarter, and included gains from increased demand for private label securitization and whole loan execution for non-owner occupied and jumbo loans. Interest income was $35.9 million, up from $33.2 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense was $30.3 million, up from $27.5 million in the prior quarter.

Segment expenses were $13.1 million, up slightly from $11.1 million in the prior quarter. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate in the second quarter was 19 basis points, unchanged from the prior quarter.

Corporate

Corporate includes interest income from cash and short-term investments, management fees, and corporate expenses.

Corporate revenues were $0.7 million, down from $2.3 million in the prior quarter. Corporate expenses were $14.4 million, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter, and consisted of management fees of $6.9 million and $7.5 million of remaining expenses.

 

6

Taxes

PMT recorded a provision for tax expense of $9.5 million, which includes a non-recurring tax expense of $14.0 million primarily from the repricing of deferred tax balances due to state apportionment changes driven by recent legislation. Excluding this non-recurring impact, PMT would have reported an income tax benefit of $4.6 million, driven primarily by fair value declines on interest rate hedges held in PMT’s taxable REIT subsidiary.
