How Pennymac is navigating the double-edged sword of lower rates

The financial results for Pennymac Financial Services in the third quarter highlight the impact of declining interest rates on mortgage companies. While lower rates can boost loan production and acquisitions, they can also negatively affect servicing portfolios.

In Q3 of 2024, the California-based lender reported a profit of $69.4 million, down from $98 million in the previous quarter, as per filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Despite the challenges, Pennymac saw a pretax income of $108 million in the production segment in Q3 2024, reflecting increased volume but not necessarily higher margins. The company’s loan acquisitions and originations reached an unpaid principal balance of $31.7 billion, up 17% from the previous quarter and 26% from the previous year.

Within different channels, production volumes varied with corresponding changes in margins. The company’s chairman and CEO, David Spector, attributed the increase in production income to lower mortgage rates and the resulting rise in refinancing activities.

On the other hand, the servicing segment experienced a pretax loss of $14.6 million in Q3 2024 due to the impact of lower rates on the fair value of servicing assets. However, excluding valuation adjustments, the pretax income would have been $151.4 million.

Given the volatility in interest rates, Pennymac plans to mitigate risks through a comprehensive hedging strategy while focusing on growing its production-related income. The company aims to maintain an 80% hedge coverage ratio on its mortgage servicing rights.

Looking ahead, Pennymac intends to leverage its servicing assets to create more refinance opportunities for borrowers with higher interest rates. With a strong focus on improving recapture rates and expanding its capacity, the company remains optimistic about its growth prospects.

In Q3 2024, total expenses increased to $317.9 million, primarily driven by higher production segment expenses and stock-based compensation costs attributed to increased volumes.
