– $8.9 billion in UPB of IRLCs in the consumer direct channel; $4.1 billion in UPB of IRLCs in the broker direct channel

o Government correspondent IRLCs totaled $12.9 billion in UPB, down 13 percent from the prior quarter reflecting a temporary slowdown in the origination market for government loans early in the quarter from the impact of COVID-19; government correspondent lock volume was up 7 percent from the second quarter of 2019

“During this period of historically low interest rates and disruption in the economy, PennyMac Financial was, and remains, a consistent and constructive source of new capital for consumers seeking to purchase a home or refinance their existing home throughout the COVID-19 crisis,” said President and CEO David Spector.  “I am proud of the hard work and investments we have made in our platform leading up to this period which have established PennyMac as an industry leader with strong capabilities to best serve our customers while delivering record financial performance to our shareholders.  We reported record Production segment results and strong operating earnings in our loan servicing segment, which drove 15 percent book value growth from the prior quarter. We continue to invest in our platform and are pleased to note a new milestone in the development of our production technology with the launch of P3 for our correspondent customers as part of our vision to have a single, cloud-based platform for all production channels.  The new portal is designed to drive operational efficiencies and an improved customer experience across all channels while increasing the speed of system enhancements.  Additionally, we continue to be a positive force in the economy as we hired over 1,000 new PennyMac’ers in the quarter to enable us to address the planned, long-term growth of our direct lending platforms and assist our borrowers with hardships. PennyMac’s substantial investments in people, systems and infrastructure throughout its history have positioned us uniquely to address the very large opportunity in the mortgage markets.  I am proud of the role this Company continues to play in the economic recovery and while prospects for the U.S. economy remain uncertain, given the present market environment, we expect PFSI’s exceptional financial performance to persist into 2021.”

(1) Net of cash hedging results

PennyMac Financial performs fulfillment services for conventional conforming and jumbo loans acquired by PMT from non-affiliates in its correspondent production business. These services include, but are not limited to, marketing, relationship management, correspondent seller approval and monitoring, loan file review, underwriting, pricing, hedging and activities related to the subsequent sale and securitization of loans in the secondary mortgage markets for PMT.

Fees earned from the fulfillment of correspondent loans on behalf of PMT totaled $52.8 million in the second quarter, up 26 percent from the prior quarter and up 78 percent from the second quarter of 2019. The quarter-over-quarter increase in fulfillment fee revenue was driven primarily by a 17 percent increase in acquisition volumes by PMT and an increase in the weighted average fulfillment fee rate to 28 basis points from 26 basis points in the prior quarter.

Net interest income totaled $6.6 million, up from $6.4 million in the prior quarter and $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2019.

Production segment expenses were $200.4 million, up 10 percent from the prior quarter and 104 percent from the second quarter of 2019 as a result of the increase in volumes in PFSI’s direct lending channels.

Servicing Segment

The Servicing segment includes income from owned MSRs, subservicing and special servicing activities. Servicing segment pretax loss was $62.4 million, versus pretax income of $170.8 million in the prior quarter and a pretax loss of $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2019.

5

Servicing segment net revenues totaled $72.7 million, down 75 percent from the prior quarter and 24 percent from the second quarter of 2019 driven by net valuation-related losses.

Revenue from net loan servicing fees totaled $22.3 million and included $243.3 million in servicing fees reduced by $97.4 million from the realization of MSR cash flows. Net valuation-related losses totaled $123.5 million, and included MSR fair value losses of $108.4 million, and hedging and other losses of $15.1 million. The MSR fair value losses primarily resulted from higher-than-modeled actual prepayments combined with expectations for increased prepayment activity in the future as a result of lower interest rates. Hedging and other losses were driven primarily by option costs which were near record highs at the beginning of the quarter from heightened volatility, and fair value losses on options as a result of decreased volatility at June 30, 2020.

The following table presents a breakdown of net loan servicing fees:

	Quarter ended
	June 30,  2020		March 31,  2020		June 30, 2019
	(in thousands)
Loan servicing fees (1)	$	243,254	$	241,929	$	218,329

Change in fair value inputs		(108,354)		(920,294)		(259,205)

Net loan servicing fees	$	22,337	$	257,808	$	59,134
(1) Includes contractually-specified servicing fees

Servicing segment revenue also included $62.4 million in net gains on loans held for sale from the securitization of reperforming government-insured and guaranteed loans, up significantly from $27.6 million in the prior quarter and $22.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 as a result of a reduced impact from loan buyouts and hedging. These loans were previously purchased out of Ginnie Mae securitizations as EBO loans and brought back to performing status through PennyMac Financial’s successful servicing efforts, primarily through loan modifications. Net interest expense totaled $12.4 million, down from net interest income of $4.6 million in the prior quarter and $13.0 million in the second quarter of 2019. Interest income was $28.1 million, down from $46.0 million in the prior quarter driven by lower income related to custodial deposit balances as earnings rates declined, while interest expense was essentially unchanged.

6

Servicing segment expenses totaled $135.1 million, up 14 percent from the prior quarter driven by higher credit losses as a result of delinquencies related to COVID-19.

The total servicing portfolio grew to $388.3 billion in UPB at June 30, 2020, an increase of 1 percent from March 31, 2020 and 16 percent from June 30, 2019 despite elevated prepayment speeds and disruption in the correspondent production market. PennyMac Financial subservices and conducts special servicing for $147.7 billion in UPB, an increase of 2 percent from March 31, 2020 and 35 percent from June 30, 2019.
