August 5, 2021 6:25 AM

Walker & Dunlop (NYSE: WD) reported Q2 EPS of $1.73, which may not compare to the analyst estimate of $2.04. Revenue for the quarter came in at $281.4 million versus the consensus estimate of $272.97 million.

Willy Walker, Chairman and CEO, commented, "We generated total revenues of $281 million, up 11% from the second quarter of 2020, with a dramatic increase in the cash component of our revenues due to record debt brokerage and property sales volumes in the quarter. As a result, adjusted EBITDA was up 37% year-over year to $67 million."

Mr. Walker continued, "The investments we are making to hire the very best people, expand our brand, and apply innovative technology to our business are resulting in broader capabilities at Walker & Dunlop, reflected in the 90% increase in transaction volume in Q2. These investments in people, brand and technology are transforming our business from a mortgage-focused specialty finance company into a technology-enabled real estate services firm that executes and delivers capital solutions better, faster, and cheaper. As the fourth largest lender on commercial real estate in the United States, yet with only 1,100 employees, W&D is uniquely positioned to combine our people, brand and technology to scale our lending and services businesses into new markets, as we are doing today in small balance lending and appraisals, and accelerate our growth."
