First Quarter 2011 Results
FIRST QUARTER 2011 HIGHLIGHTS
· Net Income of $6.6 Million or $0.31 Per Diluted Share
· Operating Margin Increases to 37%
· Servicing Portfolio Grows to $14.9 Billion
· 60 Day Delinquencies Down to 0.48%
Bethesda, MD May 12, 2011 Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) (the Company) announced today that net income for the first quarter of 2011 was $6.6 million or $0.31 per diluted share and was $10.7 million or $0.73 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2010. Concurrent with the closing of our initial public offering in December 2010 the Companys tax status changed from a pass-through entity to a C-Corporation. Normalizing for taxes for the first quarter of 2010, pro forma net income would have been $6.6 million.
Walker & Dunlops financial results for the first quarter of 2011 were extremely strong, producing $10.9 million in pre-tax earnings, the highest first quarter pre-tax earnings in the Companys history, commented Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Willy Walker. Revenues of $29 million on $507 million of new loan originations generated a 37% operating margin and a 23% net income margin. These financial results demonstrate the strength and profitability of Walker & Dunlops business model. Our credit exposure improved significantly with 60 day delinquencies falling from 0.85% of our at risk portfolio at December 31, 2010 to 0.48% by quarters end. We have a robust deal pipeline for the remainder of the second quarter of 2011 and believe we are on target to originate $750 million to $1.25 billion of new loans in the second quarter and $3.5 to $4.25 billion of commercial loans in 2011. During the first quarter we also made significant progress on our growth strategy including the recent announcement of our alliance with Cushman & Wakefield which will couple Cushmans multifamily investment sales expertise with Walker & Dunlops Agency financing capabilities.
OPERATING RESULTS
TOTAL REVENUES were $29.0 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $32.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 12% decrease. The decrease in revenue was driven by loan origination volumes.
LOAN ORIGINATIONS were $507 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $986 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 49% decrease. First quarter 2010 originations were very high due to three large portfolios of loans being originated that quarter. For comparison purposes, the Company originated $407 million of loans in the first quarter of 2009.
GAINS FROM MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES were $16.8 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $25.0 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 33% decrease. Gains from mortgage banking activities as a percentage of loan origination volumes were 332 basis points, up from 254 basis points in the first quarter of 2010, a 31% increase. Gains from mortgage banking activities are the revenues recognized through the loan origination and sale process and are comprised of two components: loan origination fees, and gains attributable to mortgage servicing rights. LOAN ORIGINATION FEES were $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $16.0 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 54% decrease. GAINS ATTRIBUTABLE TO MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS (MSRs) were $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2011, compared to $9.1 million in the first quarter of 2010, a 4% increase.
SERVICING FEES were $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 24% increase.
OTHER REVENUES were $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 447% increase. The increase was primarily due to an assumption fee of $2.5 million received from a borrower during the first quarter 2011. Assumption and pre-payment fees, while unpredictable, are standard and recurring components of our financing business.
TOTAL EXPENSES were $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2011 compared to $22.2 million for the first quarter of 2010, an 18% decrease. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in personnel expense based on lower commissions. Personnel expense was $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $15.3 million in the first quarter of 2010, a 40% decrease. Personnel expense as a percent of revenues was 32% for the first quarter of 2011 compared to 47% for the first quarter of 2010. Amortization and depreciation increased 42% from $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2010 to $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2011 due to the growth of our MSR portfolio.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS was $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2010, a 1% increase, generating an OPERATING MARGIN of 37% for the first quarter of 2011, compared to 33% in the first quarter of 2010.
SERVICING PORTFOLIO
THE SERVICING PORTFOLIO grew to $14.9 billion on March 31, 2011 compared to $13.1 billion on March 31, 2010, a 14% increase. The Company retains servicing rights on most of the loans we originate and generates revenues from the fees we receive for servicing the loans including, interest income from escrow deposits held on behalf of borrowers, late charges and other ancillary fees. The WEIGHTED-AVERAGE SERVICING FEE of our aggregate servicing portfolio was 21 basis points on March 31, 2011 up from 19 basis points on March 31, 2010, an 11% increase.
CREDIT QUALITY AND RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS
The Companys AT-RISK SERVICING PORTFOLIO, which is the balance of Fannie Mae DUS loans that are subject to a defined risk-sharing formula, was $6.8 billion on March 31, 2011 compared to $6.0 billion on March 31, 2010, a 15% increase. Credit quality within the Companys at-risk servicing portfolio remains very strong. There were no NET WRITE-OFFS for the first quarter of 2011 compared to a write-off of $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2010.
PROVISION FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS was $0.8 million, or 1 basis point of the at-risk servicing portfolio, for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $(0.1) million for the first quarter of 2010. On a quarter-to-quarter basis, our provision decreased 74% from $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 to $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2011.
60 DAY DELINQUENCIES were $32.5 million, or 0.48% of the at-risk servicing portfolio, at March 31, 2011, compared to $48.3 million, or 0.81%, at March 31, 2010, a 33% decrease.
TAX
The Company reported tax expense of $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared to zero for the first quarter of 2010. Concurrent with the closing of our initial public offering in December 2010 the Companys tax status changed from a pass-through entity to a C-Corporation. Prior to our change in tax status the tax liability on our earnings had been the obligation of our owners, resulting in insignificant corporate federal and state tax expense during the comparative period in 2010. Pro-forma tax expense would have been $4.2 million for the first quarter of 2010 had the Companys income from operations been subject to corporate federal and state income tax.

Use of Financial Measures
To supplement the financial statements presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, Walker & Dunlop, Inc. uses pro forma net income per diluted share, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, refer to the reconciliation of income from operations to pro forma net income, included at the base of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Pro forma net income adjusts income from operations, as reported, by applying the Companys effective federal and state income tax rates as if it were a corporate tax payer for the comparable period in 2010. Management uses this non-GAAP measure in comparing Walker & Dunlop Inc.s operating results with historical performance and believes it
provides meaningful and comparable information to management and investors to assist in their review of Walker & Dunlop Inc.s performance relative to prior periods and its competitors.

(1) At risk servicing portfolio is defined as the balance of Fannie Mae DUS loans subject to the risk-sharing formula described below. Use of the at risk portfolio provides for comparability of the full risk-sharing and modified risk-sharing loans because the provision and allowance for risk-sharing obligations are based on the at risk balances of the associated loans. Accordingly, we have presented the key statistics as a percentage of the at risk portfolio.
For example, a $15 million loan with 50% DUS risk-sharing has the same potential risk exposure as a $7.5 million loan with full DUS risk-sharing. Accordingly, if the $15 million loan with 50% DUS risk-sharing was to default, the Company would view the overall loss as a percentage of the at risk balance, or $7.5 million, to ensure comparability between all risk-sharing obligations. To date, all of the Companys risk-sharing obligations that we have settled have been from full risk-sharing loans.
(2) There are loans within our servicing portfolio which are greater than sixty days delinquent, and are included in 60 day delinquencies, within our at risk portfolio, for which no allowance has been recorded because our estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral is greater than the unpaid principal balance of the associated loan. Accordingly, we do not anticipate recognizing a loss for these loans upon settlement of our risk-sharing obligation with Fannie Mae.
