Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NASDAQ: COOP) (the “Company”), which
principally operates under the Mr. Cooper® and Xome® brands,
reported a first quarter net income of $658 million or $8.59 per
diluted share. Net income included other mark-to-market of $552
million, which excludes fair value of excess spread accretion of $1
million. Excluding other mark-to-market and other items, the
Company reported pretax operating income of $96 million. Other
items included $223 million gain from the Sagent transaction, $3
million in charges related to severance, and $2 million of
intangible amortization.
Chairman and CEO Jay Bray commented, “During the quarter we were
able to react quickly and take advantage of attractively priced
acquisition opportunities, and we were awarded sizeable
subservicing mandates, which together produced spectacular growth
in our servicing portfolio, which reached $796 billion. We now have
3.9 million customers, and nothing is more important to us than
delighting every single customer with a personalized, friction-free
experience that helps them achieve their goals.”
Chris Marshall, Vice Chairman and President added, “While the
sharp rise in interest rates will place pressure on the
originations industry, we are in a much better position than most,
as we stand to benefit from significant improvements in servicing
profitability during 2022.”
Servicing
The Servicing segment is focused on providing a best-in-class
home loan experience for our 3.9 million customers while
simultaneously strengthening asset performance for investors. In
the first quarter, Servicing recorded pretax income of $558
million, including other mark-to-market of $552 million. The
forward servicing portfolio ended the quarter at $796 billion in
UPB. Servicing generated pretax operating income, excluding other
mark-to-market, of $7 million. At quarter end, the carrying value
of the MSR was $6,006 million equivalent to 146 bps of MSR UPB.

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. Return on tangible common equity
(ROTCE) is computed by dividing net income by average tangible
common equity (also known as tangible book value). Tangible common
equity equals total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and
intangible assets. Management believes that ROTCE is a useful
financial measure because it measures the performance of a business
consistently and enables investors and others to assess the
Company’s use of equity. Tangible book value is defined as
stockholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Our
management believes tangible book value is useful to investors
because it provides a more accurate measure of the realizable value
of shareholder returns, excluding the impact of goodwill and
intangible assets.
