The country's third-largest originator saw revenue tick up in the first quarter off of higher servicing income and more pull-through weighted rate lock volume from lower average interest rates, it said.

Economic uncertainty slowed multifamily and commercial activity to the lowest level in 9 years, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

The offering comes amid an ongoing wave of private and public MSR sales.

Both its servicing and origination segment were in the red in the first three months of the year, with the latter division reporting a net loss of $32.8 million.

The firm's reverse mortgage arm combined with the newly acquired American Advisors Group will make the parent company the largest player in that lending space, executives said.

Bank turmoil caused a reduction in adjustable-rate and refinancings, but jumbo product availability actually grew in April.

Even with lower new insurance written, the six active underwriters remained profitable.

After a selloff toward the end of 2022 when it sought to reduce liquidity risk, the company resumed purchases of whole loans last quarter.

Management provided upbeat commentary both about the period and how the second quarter is progressing.

Earnings dipped for both companies coming in at $236 million and $328.2 million, respectively.

In a quarterly earnings call, CEO Michael Nierenberg said the company was evaluating options and would likely file forms for a new public company in the near future.

MSR marks weighed down results again but by less than in the previous quarter as the company worked on offsets and restated some adjusted numbers.

Changes to loan-level price adjustments are perfectly consistent with the FHA's mission and with the safety and soundness of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The government-sponsored enterprise improved slightly upon the previous quarter's numbers, but contraction in lending remains a risk.

Although the company reported a loss, executives expressed confidence in its funding and liquidity.

But the company's earnings were up due to lower loss provisions.

The neobank expects to turn a profit by the end of the year, but faces challenges as it copes with the government's pause on federal student loan repayment and with the difficulty of selling technology services to other businesses.

In an earnings call, the company said talks with depository institutions were already underway regarding potential residential loan sales.

The legislative proposals backed by Republican members of congress seek to undo the latest cross-subsidized adjustments to loan fees that two large government-related mortgage investors charge.

About $2.9 billion of the deposits the company obtained from the failed Signature Bank had fled as of last week, and executives are forecasting that number to double. However, they say they're "cautiously optimistic" they can lure some deposits back.
