COUNTRYWIDE REPORTS 82 PERCENT INCREASE IN FIRST QUARTER DILUTED EPS
| 2004 EPS GUIDANCE RAISED TO $7.00 TO $8.25 ($10.50 TO $12.38 ON PRE-SPLIT BASIS)- Prior EPS Guidance Was $6.00 to $8.00 - |
CALABASAS, CA (April 21, 2004) – Countrywide Financial Corporation (NYSE: CFC), a diversified financial services provider, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2004. These results reflect the 3-for-2 stock split that was completed on April 13, 2004. First quarter highlights include the following:
- Consolidated net earnings reached $691 million, advancing 112 percent over net earnings of $326 million in the first quarter of last year.
- Earnings per diluted share increased 82 percent over the same quarter last year to $2.22 ($3.33 before adjustment to reflect April’s 3-for-2 stock split). First quarter diluted earnings per share represent a 21 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2003.
- Pre-tax earnings from Diversified Businesses were $322 million, a gain of 89 percent over last year’s first quarter, fueled primarily by the growth in the Capital Markets and Banking segments.
- Return on average equity was 33 percent, up from 24 percent for the first quarter of 2003.
- Total loan production volume was $76 billion for the quarter, essentially flat on a sequential quarter-to-quarter comparison but lower than volume of $102 billion for the first quarter of 2003, when industry-wide refinance activity was significantly higher.
- Purchase fundings for the quarter grew to $32 billion, up 32 percent from the first quarter of 2003, reflecting the Company’s strategic focus on increasing purchase market share.
- The servicing portfolio rose to a record $683 billion, up $38 billion from the beginning of the year.
“Outstanding operational and financial results characterized the first quarter of 2004,” said Angelo R. Mozilo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This performance, in light of rapidly shifting environmental conditions, illustrates the strength and flexibility of our business model and risk management strategies, as the Company delivered impressive results. Earnings from both our Mortgage Banking segment and our Diversified Businesses increased sequentially and year-over-year.
“In the Mortgage Banking segment, principal success factors included continued high funding volume, effective servicing hedge management and managed inventory sales,” Mozilo continued. “On the Servicing side, strong portfolio growth continued to support the core strategy of counterbalancing the performance of our production and servicing operations. During the quarter we achieved net portfolio growth of $38 billion, while growth over the last 12 months has been a remarkable $181 billion. With the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield showing a net decrease of more than 40 basis points between the beginning and the end of the first quarter, Countrywide recorded $996 million in MSR impairment expense, the impact of which was largely offset by MSR hedge gains (net of hedge cost) of $673 million, resulting in net impairment of $323 million. Net MSR impairment was more than offset by increased production profitability.
“Key success factors on the Production side included a continued focus on growing our purchase volume and increased emphasis on products whose volume remains strong in rising rate environments – adjustable rate mortgages, home equity lines of credit and subprime loans. In addition, first quarter inventory sales exceeded the volume of loans originated in the Mortgage Banking segment by $4.4 billion, a differential similar to the fourth quarter of 2003. Margins were also bolstered by a shift in the mix of inventory sold compared to last quarter, as the Company’s loan sales included more high-margin products, such as sub-prime and home equity loans. The pre-tax production sector margin for the quarter was a record 140 basis points.
“The additional high-margin inventory had been accumulated during recent periods of heavy origination volume. By selling a portion of this inventory during the first quarter, Countrywide accomplished three objectives. First, the sale enabled the Company to capitalize upon favorable market conditions for selling these products. Second, the sale helped offset net MSR impairment expense resulting from declining interest rates during the quarter. Third, the Company created greater capacity to help manage the anticipated increase in funding volume next quarter stemming from the larger pipeline.
“Earnings from Diversified Businesses continued to show stellar growth, advancing 31 percent sequentially and 89 percent on a year-over-year basis during the first quarter of 2004. Most noteworthy was the outstanding performance by our Capital Markets and Banking segments whose earnings grew by $57 million and $62 million, respectively, over the first quarter of last year.
“The growth in the Capital Markets segment was especially impressive given the decline in industry mortgage origination volume compared to the first quarter last year. The increase in profitability in Capital Markets is largely attributable to increased activity in our conduit and underwriting operations. Securities trading volume increased by 8 percent, aided by the recent launch of Agency CMO and U.S. Treasury businesses within Countrywide Securities Corporation (CSC), our broker-dealer. During the quarter, CSC announced its entrance into the Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (CMBS) market as well. Earlier this month, we hired a team of experienced executives, whose credentials include previously building a CMBS platform for another major investment bank. Entry into this market supports our Capital Markets strategy of product diversification.
“In Banking, we continue to grow our balance sheet with help from the tremendous mortgage asset generating capability of Countrywide Home Loans. Bank assets are now at $24 billion, and our goal is to reach approximately $35 billion by the end of the year and $120 billion by 2008. During the quarter, we added seven new financial centers, bringing our current total to 38. These financial centers have been efficient in gathering retail deposits with mature sites that have two or more years of seasoning averaging over $100 million in deposits. Pre-tax earnings for the Banking segment -- which includes both Countrywide Bank and Countrywide Warehouse Lending, Inc. -- were up an impressive 144 percent over last year, driven primarily by Countrywide Bank, whose earnings increased 232 percent. Countrywide Bank’s de novo status expires in May 2004. This, in conjunction with ongoing strong performance of the Bank, will ultimately allow the Bank to transition to traditional regulatory capital requirements for mature institutions.
“The Insurance group continues to make inroads toward improved productivity and profitability. The Life & Casualty business showed strong year-over-year performance, with net earned premiums increasing by 10 percent from the first quarter of 2003. Our mortgage reinsurance business continues to grow, while we continue to take a conservative view toward managing the associated risk. Our Global operations made considerable operational progress over the past year, with pre-tax earnings up 102 percent from the same quarter a year ago.
“This month’s 3-for-2 stock split combined with last December’s split creates an effective two-for-one split over the last five months and is reflective of the strong performance of the stock,” Mozilo concluded. “Looking ahead, we continue to view 2004 as an outstanding year for Countrywide. Management is raising its 2004 earnings guidance to $7.00 to $8.25 per diluted share, from the previous guidance of $6 to $8 per diluted share (or, on a pre-split basis, $10.50 to $12.38 vs. previous guidance of $9 to $12 per diluted share).”
Key assumptions underlying the revised 2004 forecast include the following:
- Average ten-year Treasury rates of 4.0 to 6.0 percent for the remainder of the year.
- Origination market of $2.1 to $2.5 trillion.
- Countrywide average origination market share of 13.5 to 14.5 percent, implying Company origination volume of $280 to $360 billion, with pre-tax production margin of 75 to 100 basis points.
- Average servicing portfolio of $700 to $730 billion, with 0 to 13 basis points in pre-tax margins after MSR net impairment or recovery. Normal purchase market servicing margins would be expected to range from 12 to 15 basis points.
- Pre-tax earnings from Mortgage Banking of $2.6 to $3.2 billion.
- Pre-tax earnings from Diversified Business of $900 million to $1.1 billion.
The earnings estimates and assumptions and other projections provided in this press release should be considered forward-looking statements and readers are directed to the information contained in the disclaimer provided herein.
Countrywide’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per common share ($0.225 before April’s 3-for-2 stock split), payable June 1, 2004 to stockholders of record on May 13, 2004.
MORTGAGE BANKING
Countrywide’s Mortgage Banking segment, which includes Production, Servicing, and Loan Closing Services, contributed 71 percent of consolidated pre-tax earnings for the first quarter. On a comparative basis, Mortgage Banking earnings for the first quarter grew 126 percent over the first quarter of 2003.
The Production sector is comprised of four distribution channels: consumer-direct lending through Countrywide Home Loans’ 480-branch retail system, telemarketing operations and the Internet; wholesale lending through a network of over 31,000 mortgage brokers; correspondent lending which buys loans from other financial institutions such as banks, savings and loans, credit unions and insurance companies; and Full Spectrum Lending, Inc., a consumer-direct subprime lender with 106 branches.
Production
The Production sector generated $942 million in pre-tax earnings for the first quarter, which is up 7 percent from the first quarter of last year and up 62 percent from the fourth quarter of 2003. The Production sector benefited during the quarter from the sale of $2.8 billion in home equity and $9.6 billion in subprime loans (compared to production during the quarter of $3.7 billion and $6.0 billion, respectively). Higher levels of sales were transacted in order to take advantage of favorable market conditions, to offset net MSR impairment and to manage capacity for the second quarter’s anticipated funding volume.
Servicing
The Servicing sector reflects the performance of the MSRs associated with Countrywide’s owned-servicing portfolio and other retained interests. Since the MSRs perform optimally in higher interest rate environments, earnings from these assets act as a natural counter-balance against Production earnings, which typically perform best in lower rate environments. In declining rate environments, Production operations provide substantial incremental earnings to offset the effect of faster amortization and impairment of MSRs. Countrywide also manages a financial hedge within the Servicing sector to further mitigate this impairment.
For the first quarter, the Servicing sector experienced a pre-tax loss of $158 million, which compares favorably to a pre-tax loss of $554 million for the first quarter of 2003. During the current quarter, impairment net of the servicing hedge was $323 million versus net impairment of $656 million during the year ago quarter. Impairment was a result of declining interest rates during the quarter. The weighted average coupon on the Company’s portfolio of loans serviced for others stands at 6.0 percent as of March 31, 2004, down from 6.6 percent one year earlier.
Loan Closing Services
Loan Closing Services are comprised of Countrywide’s LandSafe companies, which primarily provide credit reports, appraisals and flood determinations. LandSafe companies’ pre-tax earnings were $19 million in the first quarter, which compares to $26 million earned during the first quarter last year. The decline in pre-tax earnings was related to the decline in year-over-year production volume.
DIVERSIFIED BUSINESSES
Diversified Businesses include the operations of Capital Markets, Banking, Insurance and Global, and accounted for 29 percent of consolidated pre-tax earnings for the first quarter of 2004. Diversified earnings in aggregate grew 89 percent for the first quarter from the year ago comparable period.
Capital Markets
The Capital Markets segment includes a securities broker-dealer, a broker of mortgage servicing rights, and a distressed-asset manager. Earnings performance within this segment is primarily driven by the broker-dealer, Countrywide Securities Corporation (CSC), whose earnings represented 78 percent of Capital Markets’ total pre-tax earnings for the first quarter of 2004. Pre-tax earnings for the total Capital Markets segment in the first quarter were $153 million, 59 percent greater than the $96 million earned in last year’s comparable quarter. This performance was fueled by increased contributions from our conduit and underwriting activities, largely related to the sale of Countrywide asset-backed securities. Securities trading volume increased 8 percent, aided by the launch of two new product lines, U.S. Treasury Securities and Agency CMOs, over the last several months.
Banking
The Banking segment includes the activities of Countrywide Bank and Countrywide Warehouse Lending, a provider of financing to smaller mortgage bankers. The Bank is able to leverage Countrywide’s resources such as its superior asset-generating capabilities, servicing-related escrow balances, branch locations within the retail mortgage origination network (in which the Bank places its financial centers), and intellectual capabilities such as risk management. Countrywide Bank has also in-sourced certain bank-related services, such as custodial services, that were previously performed for Countrywide by third party banks. In addition, the Bank holds loans in portfolio, providing the consolidated company with a growing stream of spread income. At March 31, 2004, total assets at Countrywide Bank reached $23.7 billion, as compared to $8.9 billion at March 31, 2003, and were comprised of approximately 18 percent cash and investments, 80 percent mortgage and home equity loans, and 2 percent other assets. The Bank contributed 89 percent of the Banking segment’s total pre-tax earnings for the first quarter of 2004. Countrywide Warehouse Lending had average loans outstanding of $2.8 billion during the quarter, a decrease of 25 percent from the first quarter of 2003 which was expected given the reduction in industry loan volume. Overall, quarterly pre-tax earnings for the Banking segment were $106 million, increasing 144 percent from last year’s $43 million.
Insurance
Countrywide’s Insurance segment includes Balboa Life and Casualty Group, whose companies are national providers of property, life and liability insurance; and Balboa Reinsurance Company, a captive mortgage reinsurance company. For the first quarter, net premiums earned were $158 million at Balboa Life & Casualty and $37 million at Balboa Reinsurance. This compares to $143 million and $28 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2003. Pre-tax earnings for the Insurance segment were $52 million for the first quarter, up 110 percent from the $25 million earned for the same period a year ago.
Global
The principal component of the Global segment is Global Home Loans, the Company’s U.K. joint venture, organized to process originations and service loans on behalf of third parties. Today, Global Home Loans services over one million loans with outstanding balances of approximately $111 billion. Other companies included in the Global operations segment engage in technology services and property valuation. Pre-tax earnings for the first quarter were $12 million, which compares to $6 million for the first quarter of 2003.
