PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (NYSE: PMT) today reported a
net loss attributable to common shareholders of $29.6 million, or
$(0.32) per common share on a diluted basis for the first quarter
of 2022, on net investment income of $81.8 million. PMT previously
announced a cash dividend for the first quarter of 2022 of $0.47
per common share of beneficial interest, which was declared on
March 4, 2022 and paid on April 28, 2022 to common shareholders of
record as of April 15, 2022.
First Quarter 2022 Highlights
Financial results:
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders of $29.6 million,
compared to a net loss of $27.3 million in the prior quarter
- Credit sensitive strategies impacted by fair value decreases
resulting from credit spread widening
- Strong results in the interest rate sensitive strategies
partially offset by $37.2 million of tax provisions in PMT’s
taxable REIT subsidiary
- Repurchased 2.0 million PMT common shares at a cost of $31.8
million; also repurchased an additional 990 thousand shares in
April at a cost of $15.4 million
- Book value per common share decreased to $17.87 at March 31,
2022 from $19.05 at December 31, 20211
1 As described in Note 3 of PMT’s Annual
Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, a recent
accounting change requires that beginning in 2022, the portion of
PMT’s senior notes that are exchangeable for PMT common shares of
beneficial interest originally allocated to additional paid-in
capital was reclassified to the carrying value of the exchangeable
notes. Giving effect to this change on a pro forma basis, PMT’s
book value as of December 31, 2021 would have been $18.60.
Other investment highlights:
- Investment activity driven by correspondent production volumes
- Conventional correspondent loan production volumes of $9.8
billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB), down 43% from the prior
quarter and 71% from the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the
smaller origination market and significant levels of competition
for conventional loans, including from the government sponsored
enterprises (GSEs)
- Resulted in $195 million in new mortgage servicing rights
(MSRs)
- Retained mortgage securities from a PMT securitization of
agency-eligible investor loans totaling $420 million in UPB; in
aggregate, the fair value of PMT’s investments in investor loan
securitizations was approximately $103 million at March 31,
2022
- Invested $86 million in floating-rate credit risk transfer
(CRT) bonds recently issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
- Invested $27 million in fixed-rate bonds from a senior tranche
of a recently completed jumbo securitization
Notable activity after quarter-end:
- Invested $31 million in floating-rate CRT bonds recently issued
by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
“PMT’s first quarter net loss was primarily driven by fair value
declines in its credit sensitive strategies due to spread widening
that resulted from economic uncertainty across financial markets
and a provision for tax expense driven by fair value increases in
its taxable REIT subsidiary,” said Chairman and CEO, David Spector.
“In addition, competitive pressure in the conventional
correspondent production channel continued as mortgage rates
increased to levels not seen in more than a decade. Conversely,
PMT’s interest rate sensitive strategies performed well, benefiting
from MSR net valuation related gains that primarily resulted from
lower expected prepayment activity in the future.”
Mr. Spector continued, “While the origination market continues
to transition, higher interest rates and wider credit spreads are
presenting attractive opportunities for PMT to deploy capital. We
continued to invest in subordinate tranches from the securitization
of our own production of investor loans during the quarter.
Additionally, we recently opportunistically invested more than $140
million in securities with attractive expected returns from newly
issued Agency CRT transactions and non-agency securitizations. As
the mortgage environment continues to evolve, PMT remains
well-positioned with the deep knowledge and expertise of this
management team to find and invest in assets with attractive,
long-term risk-adjusted returns.”

Credit Sensitive Strategies Segment
The Credit Sensitive Strategies segment primarily includes
results from PMT’s organically-created GSE CRT investments,
investments in non-agency subordinate bonds from private-label
securitizations of PMT’s production, opportunistic investments in
GSE CRT and other legacy investments. Pretax loss for the segment
was $56.0 million on net investment losses of $52.7 million,
compared to pretax income of $33.2 million on net investment income
of $38.8 million in the prior quarter.
Net losses on investments in the segment were $44.9 million,
compared to net gains on investments of $48.3 million in the prior
quarter and included $35.6 million in net losses on PMT’s
organically-created GSE CRT investments, $7.4 million in net losses
from investments in non-agency subordinate bonds from PMT’s
production, $2.3 million in net losses on mortgage-backed
securities (MBS) and $0.4 million in net gains on loans at fair
value.
Net losses on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments for the
quarter were $35.6 million, compared to net gains of $43.1 million
in the prior quarter, and included $74.9 million in
valuation-related losses, which reflected the impact of credit
spread widening. The prior quarter included $1.6 million in
valuation-related gains. Net losses on PMT’s organically-created
CRT investments also included $23.3 million in realized gains and
carry, compared to $26.9 million in the prior quarter. Recoveries
net of realized losses during the quarter were $16.0 million,
primarily related to L Street Securities 2017-PM1, as losses were
reversed for loans that had been in forbearance and
reperformed.
During the quarter, PMT retained mortgage securities from a PMT
securitization of agency-eligible investor loans totaling $420
million in UPB. This resulted in approximately $23 million in fair
value of new investments, net of associated asset-backed financing.
PMT also opportunistically invested $86 million in floating-rate
CRT bonds recently issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
Net interest expense for the segment totaled $8.1 million,
compared to $11.2 million in the prior quarter. Interest income
totaled $2.1 million, up from $1.1 million in the prior quarter.
Interest expense totaled $10.1 million, down from $12.3 million in
the prior quarter due to decreased financing expenses as a result
of smaller CRT balances.
Segment expenses were $3.3 million, down from $5.7 million in
the prior quarter.
Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies Segment
The Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies segment includes results
from investments in MSRs, Agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS),
non-Agency senior MBS and interest rate hedges. Pretax income for
the segment was $84.2 million on net investment income of $107.4
million, compared to a pretax loss of $43.2 million on net
investment losses of $20.8 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 interest income
and net loan servicing fees, as well as associated expenses.
Net loss on investments for the segment was $184.2 million and
consisted of losses on MBS due to higher interest rates.
Net loan servicing fees were $304.2 million, compared to $12.2
million in the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees included
servicing fees of $146.9 million, down slightly from the prior
quarter due to seasonal collection trends, and $9.1 million in
other fees, reduced by $88.9 million in realization of MSR cash
flows, which were up slightly from the prior quarter driven by
higher average MSR values. Net loan servicing fees also included
$392.6 million in fair value increases of MSRs, $163.8 million in
related hedging declines, and $8.3 million of MSR recapture income.
PMT’s hedging activities are intended to manage the Company’s net
exposure across all interest rate sensitive strategies, which
include MSRs and MBS.

The fair value of the MSR increased by $392.6 million in the
quarter, driven by higher mortgage rates which resulted in
expectations for lower prepayment activity in the future. Agency
MBS and interest rate hedges decreased in fair value as a result of
increases in market interest rates.
Additionally, during the quarter PMT opportunistically invested
$27 million in fixed-rate bonds from a senior tranche of a recently
completed jumbo securitization.
Net interest expense for the segment was $12.6 million, versus
net interest expense of $19.9 million in the prior quarter.
Interest income totaled $29.1 million, up from $22.7 million in the
prior quarter due to higher average MBS balances and a decline in
prepayment activity. Interest expense totaled $41.7 million, down
slightly from the prior quarter primarily due to a reduction in
interest shortfall from slower prepayment activity.
Segment expenses were $23.2 million, up slightly from $22.4
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 $4.6 million,
essentially unchanged from the prior quarter.
Through its correspondent production activities, PMT acquired
$22.5 billion in UPB of loans, down 31 percent from the prior
quarter and 56 percent from the first quarter of 2021. Of total
correspondent acquisitions, conventional conforming acquisitions
totaled $9.8 billion, and government-insured or guaranteed
acquisitions totaled $12.7 billion, down from $17.2 billion and
$15.7 billion, respectively, in the prior quarter. Interest rate
lock commitments on conventional loans totaled $10.2 billion, down
from $14.7 billion in the prior quarter, due to reduced market
volumes driving elevated levels of competition for conventional
loans, including from the GSEs.
Segment revenues were $26.5 million, a 13 percent decrease from
the prior quarter and included other income of $15.0 million, which
primarily consists of volume-based origination fees, net interest
income of $7.6 million, and net gains on loans acquired for sale of
$4.0 million. Net gain on loans acquired for sale in the quarter
increased from the prior quarter as a result of higher overall gain
on sale margins. Interest income was $19.2 million, down from $30.8
million in the prior quarter, and interest expense was $11.6
million, down from $18.9 million in the prior quarter, both due to
lower volumes.
Segment expenses were $22.0 million, down from $25.8 million in
the prior quarter driven by the decrease in acquisition volumes and
slightly offset by an increase in the weighted average fulfillment
fee rate. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate in the first
quarter was 17 basis points, up from 12 basis points in the prior
quarter.
Corporate Segment
The Corporate segment includes interest income from cash and
short-term investments, management fees, and corporate
expenses.
Segment revenues were $0.6 million, down from $1.2 million in
the prior quarter. Management fees were $8.1 million, down from
$8.9 million in the prior quarter. Other segment expenses were $7.2
million, up from $6.3 million in the prior quarter.
Taxes
PMT recorded a provision for tax expense of $37.2 million
primarily driven by fair value increases in MSRs held in PMT’s
taxable subsidiary.
