WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (NYSE: PMT) today reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $20 million, or $0.23 per common share on net investment income of $73 million for the second quarter of 2026.

CEO Commentary

“PMT generated net income attributable to common shareholders of $20 million in the second quarter, or $0.23 per diluted share, representing an annualized return on common equity of 6%,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “We are moving to strengthen the overall earnings power of our portfolio. During the quarter, we closed six securitizations totaling $2.2 billion in unpaid principal balance, which generated $120 million of net new investments in non-Agency subordinate bonds.”

Mr. Spector continued, “Given the success we are seeing in our private label securitization program, we are shifting equity allocation towards those more accretive credit opportunities. In June, we took the initial steps in what we believe will be a series of actions to reduce our exposure to mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), agreeing to sell $13 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB) of MSRs and electing to stop Agency-eligible loan acquisitions in our correspondent channel. These initial actions unlock capital from our MSR portfolio to redeploy into organically-created credit investments with return potential in the low-to-mid teens. We expect this realignment of our balance sheet will bolster PMT’s return profile to deliver attractive total returns over the long term.”

The table below highlights key financial performance metrics:

Business Highlights

• Acquired $2.6 billion in UPB of loans through correspondent production activities, down 8% from the prior quarter and 17% from the second quarter of 2025; beginning in June, PMT elected to stop acquiring Agency-eligible conventional loans through correspondent production but will continue acquiring 100% of all non-Agency loans
• Acquired $2.2 billion in UPB of loans from PFSI production for inclusion in private label securitizations, up 44% from the prior quarter and 123% from the second quarter of 2025
• Closed three Agency-eligible investor loan securitizations, one jumbo loan securitization, and two Agency-eligible owner occupied loan securitizations with a combined UPB of $2.2 billion
• Generated $120 million of net new investments in non-Agency subordinate bonds1
• Purchased $486 million of Agency floating-rate mortgage-backed securities (MBS)

Notable Activity After Quarter End

• Completed one jumbo loan securitization and one Agency-eligible owner-occupied loan securitization with a combined UPB of $692 million, generating $36 million of net new investments in non-Agency subordinate bonds2
• Entered into an agreement to sell $13 billion in UPB of low-coupon Agency MSRs with an expected close at the end of August

Credit Sensitive Strategies Segment

The table below highlights key operating metrics and financial performance in the credit sensitive strategies segment:

PMT’s organically created CRT investments totaled $938 million in fair value at June 30, 2026 with an underlying UPB of $18.1 billion, both down from prior periods due to runoff. The fair value of subordinate bond investments from private label securitizations totaled $853 million at quarter end, up 16% from the end of the prior quarter and 211% from June 30, 2025 as we continue to deploy capital towards these investments.

Pretax income for the segment was $11 million, or an 11% annualized return on equity. Income excluding market-driven value changes was $12 million, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter.

The contribution to pretax income from organically-created CRT investments was $6 million, down from $10 million in the prior quarter. The decline was primarily due to valuation-related declines of $1 million versus valuation-related gains of $3 million in the prior quarter. The contribution to pretax income from subordinate bonds from PMT private label securitizations was $5 million, down from $6 million in the prior quarter primarily due to lower valuation-related gains.

Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies Segment

The table below highlights key operating metrics and financial performance in the interest rate sensitive strategies segment:

The fair value of PMT’s MSR asset was $3.6 billion at quarter end with $208 billion in UPB of underlying loans, both down slightly from the end of the prior quarter due to runoff. The fair value of the MBS portfolio was $4.1 billion, up from $3.8 billion at the end of the prior quarter primarily due to $486 million in new MBS purchases.

Pretax income for the segment was $9 million, compared to $8 million in the prior quarter and pretax loss of $5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Pretax income in the quarter was driven by $20 million of income excluding market-driven value changes, partially offset by $11 million of market-driven losses.

Net loan servicing fees were $40 million, compared to $84 million in the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees included contractually specified servicing fees and other fees of $149 million, down slightly from the prior quarter, reduced by $100 million in realization of MSR cash flows, which was also down slightly from the prior quarter due to lower expectations for prepayments in the future due to higher interest rates. Net loan servicing fees also included $19 million in fair value gains on MSRs, $33 million in hedging losses, and $5 million of MSR recapture income.

Net gains on investments for the segment were $12 million, primarily from senior bonds held for investment from PMT private label securitizations.

Net interest expense for the segment was $20 million versus $13 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $237 million, up from $215 million in the prior quarter primarily due to increased income from custodial deposits and a higher amount of retained investments from private label securitizations. Similarly, interest expense was $257 million, up from $228 million in the prior quarter due to higher financing balances, which includes additional non-recourse asset-backed financing resulting from securitization activity.

Segment expenses, primarily subservicing fees paid to PFSI, were $23 million, down slightly from the prior quarter.

Aggregation and Securitization Segment

The table below highlights the financial performance in the aggregation and securitization segment:

PMT purchased a total of $2.6 billion in UPB of conventional conforming and nonconforming loans through its purchase agreement that PFSI acquired from correspondent sellers, down 8% from the prior quarter. PMT acquired 15% of total conventional conforming correspondent production, down from 18% in the prior quarter. Beginning in June, PMT elected to stop acquiring Agency-eligible conventional correspondent loans while retaining 100% of all non-Agency loan volume. PMT also acquired $2.2 billion in UPB of loans from PFSI’s production for inclusion in private label securitizations, up from $1.5 billion in the prior quarter.

Pretax income for the segment was $11 million in the second quarter, down from $16 million in the prior quarter.

Segment revenues were $29 million and included net gains on loans acquired for sale of $15 million, net interest income of $11 million, and other income of $2 million, which primarily consists of volume-based origination fees. Net gains on loans acquired for sale declined from the prior quarter primarily due to lower volumes. Interest income was $43 million, up slightly from $40 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense was $32 million, unchanged from the prior quarter.

Segment expenses were $17 million, unchanged from the prior quarter.
