Mr. Cooper Group Inc.

Net income included other mark-to-market of $61 million, which excludes fair value of excess spread accretion of $2 million. Excluding other mark-to-market and other items, the Company reported pretax operating income of $150 million. Other items included $6 million related to Rushmore acquisition deal costs, $1 million charge due to severance, $4 million loss associated with equity investments, and $2 million in intangible amortization.

Chairman and CEO Jay Bray commented, “Our results show very strong momentum including continued portfolio growth, rising returns on tangible equity, and strong margins in both servicing and operations, while Xome generated higher sales this quarter. Investors should take the Board’s decision to increase our stock repurchase authorization by $200 million as a signal of our confidence in the outlook.”

Chris Marshall, Vice Chairman and President added, “At the same time that we’re generating higher returns on equity, we’re also working on perfecting our platform, with new investments in DTC and servicing which are producing meaningful benefits for customers and impressive efficiency gains for the company. The current environment offers exciting growth opportunities, in MSR acquisitions, subservicing, and originations.”

Servicing

The Servicing segment is focused on providing a best-in-class home loan experience for our 4.3 million customers while simultaneously strengthening asset performance for investors. In the second quarter, Servicing recorded pretax income of $243 million, including other mark-to-market of $61 million. The servicing portfolio ended the quarter at $882 billion in UPB. Servicing generated pretax operating income, excluding other mark-to-market, of $182 million. At quarter end, the carrying value of the MSR was $7,149 million equivalent to 156 bps of MSR UPB.

Conference Call Webcast and Investor Presentation

The Company will host a conference call on July 26, 2023 at 10:00 A.M. Eastern Time. Preregistration for the call is now available in the Investor section of www.mrcoopergroup.com. Participants will receive a toll-free dial-in number and a unique registrant ID to be used for immediate call access. A simultaneous audio webcast of the conference call will be available under the investors section on www.mrcoopergroup.com.

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, change in equity method investments, fair value change in equity investments 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.
