• Reported $461 million net income or $4.95 per diluted share, including $285 million recovery of valuation allowance and positive $102 million mark-to-market

  • Generated Originations pretax income of $138 million on record funded volume of $12.6 billion
  • Servicing UPB portfolio remained stable, ending the quarter at $643 billion

Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NASDAQ: COOP) (the “Company”), which principally operates under the Mr. Cooper® and Xome® brands, reported a fourth quarter net income of $461 million or $4.95 per diluted share. Net income included $285 million recovery of deferred tax asset (“DTA”) reserve and positive $102 million in mark-to-market. Excluding the mark-to-market and other items, the Company reported pretax operating income of $125 million. Items excluded from operating income were $102 million in mark-to-market, net of the add back of $31 million in fair value amortization that is included in the full mark-to-market, $6 million in severance charges related to corporate actions, and $12 million of intangible amortization.

Chairman and CEO Jay Bray commented, “This was a strong operating quarter with solid results in Originations and Xome and a stable quarter in servicing, capping a year of tremendous progress for the organization. We successfully delivered on our commitments to integrate recent acquisitions and improve profitability.”

Chris Marshall, vice chairman and CFO, added, “In addition to delivering strong operating performance, we made progress in our balance sheet strategy by deleveraging and building liquidity, which is key to sustaining return on equity and growth over the long term.”

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 fourth quarter, Servicing recorded pretax income of $189 million. The total servicing portfolio remained stable, ending the quarter at $643 billion UPB. Servicing earned pretax operating income excluding the full mark of $87 million, equivalent to a servicing margin of 5.5 bps. At quarter end, the carrying value of the MSR was $3,502 million, of which $3,496 million was at fair value equivalent to 118 bps of MSR UPB and original cost basis of 86 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 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. Pretax operating income (loss) in each segment also eliminates, as applicable, transition and integration costs, gains (losses) on sales of fixed assets, certain settlement costs that are not considered normal operational matters, 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Any statements in this release that are not historical or current facts are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the results of deleveraging.

Results for any specified quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are described in the “Risk Factors” section of Mr. Cooper Group’s most recent annual reports and other required documents as filed with the SEC which are available at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Mr. Cooper undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement or any other financial information contained herein, and the statements made in this press release are current as of the date of this release only.
