Bethesda, MD — August 11, 2011 — Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) (the “Company”) announced today record revenue for the second quarter of $42.4 million, generating $18.2 million of income from operations and net income of $11.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted share.

“This strong quarter was emblematic of our Company’s ability to capitalize on the favorable macro-economic conditions and consistent improvement in the commercial real estate sector during the second quarter.  We originated over $1.3 billion of loans which produced record revenues and income from operations,” commented chairman and chief executive officer, Willy Walker.  “The favorable market conditions and our ability to execute have led to expansion of our loan origination platform, additional servicing revenues, and completion of several strategic initiatives.  Our origination pipeline remains robust which allows us to establish third quarter 2011 guidance of $750 million to $1.1 billion and to reaffirm our loan origination guidance of $3.5 billion to $4.25 billion for the year.”

OPERATING RESULTS

NET INCOME for the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 were $11.1 million or $0.51 per diluted share and $11.7 million or $0.80 per diluted share respectively.  Net income for the second quarter of 2011

should be compared to the second quarter 2010 pro forma net income of $7.2 million or $0.49, a 55% increase, due to the changes in corporate tax structure relating to the Company’s initial public offering.

LOAN ORIGINATIONS were $1.3 billion for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $672 million for the second quarter of 2010, a 95% increase.

TOTAL REVENUES were $42.4 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $30.7 million for the second quarter of 2010, a 38% increase.

GAINS FROM MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITIES were $31.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $21.2 million for the second quarter of 2010, a 48% increase.  The increase was due to the increase in loan origination volume as well as the mix of loans originated.  Gains from mortgage banking activities as a percentage of loan origination volumes were 239 basis points in the second quarter of 2011, compared to 315 basis points in the second quarter of 2010, a 24% decrease. The decrease in gains from mortgage banking activities as a percentage of loan volume is due to the origination of several large loans during the quarter that carried lower aggregate fees.  While fees on large loans affected the overall fee rate (as expressed in basis points), pricing in the marketplace remained relatively stable.

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 $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2010, a 73% increase.  GAINS ATTRIBUTABLE TO MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS (“MSRs”) were $16.0 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared to $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2010, a 30% increase.

TOTAL EXPENSES were $24.2 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2010, a 28% increase.  Personnel expense was $12.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2010, a 60% increase.  The increase is primarily due to commission expense related to higher origination volumes.   Personnel expense as a percent of revenues was 30% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 26% for the second quarter of 2010.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS was $18.2 million for the second quarter of 2011, compared to $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2010, a 55% increase.   The Company’s OPERATING MARGIN was 43% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 38% in the second quarter of 2010.  The expansion in margin is primarily due to the increase in loan origination volume along with the increase in servicing income as a result of the growth of the servicing portfolio.

SERVICING PORTFOLIO

SERVICING FEES were $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2010, a 23% increase.  The increase in servicing fees was due to the growth in the

servicing portfolio coupled with growth of the weighted average servicing fees associated with newly originated loans.

THE SERVICING PORTFOLIO was $15.4 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $13.7 billion at June 30, 2010, a 13% increase.  The Company retains servicing rights on most of the loans it originates and generates revenues from the fees it receives for servicing the loans.

The WEIGHTED-AVERAGE SERVICING FEE of the aggregate servicing portfolio was 22 basis points at June 30, 2011 up from 19 basis points at June 30, 2010, a 16% increase.

CREDIT QUALITY AND RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS

The Company’s AT RISK SERVICING PORTFOLIO, which is the balance of Fannie Mae DUS loans subject to a defined risk-sharing formula, was $7.0 billion at June 30, 2011 compared to $6.4 billion at June 30, 2010, a 10% increase.  Credit quality within the Company’s at-risk servicing portfolio remains very strong.  There were no NET WRITE-OFFS for the second quarter of 2011.

60 DAY DELINQUENCIES were $9.5 million, or 0.14% of the at risk servicing portfolio at June 30, 2011, compared to $104.2 million, or 1.64% of the at risk servicing portfolio, at June 30, 2010, a 91% decrease. On a quarter-to-quarter basis, 60 day delinquencies decreased 71% from $32.5 million at March 31, 2011 to $9.5 million at June 30, 2011.

PROVISION FOR RISK-SHARING OBLIGATIONS was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2010, a 34% decrease.

YEAR-TO-DATE RESULTS

Loan origination volume for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $1.8 billion compared to $1.7 billion for the same period last year, a 10% increase.  Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $71.4 million compared to $63.6 million for the same period last year, a 12% increase.  The increase in total revenue is primarily due to the increased loan production, an increase in servicing fees, and a $2.5 million assumption fee received in the first quarter of 2011.  Total gains on mortgage banking activities, as a percentage of loan origination volume, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were 265 basis points, compared to 279 for the period last year.  The decrease in total gains on mortgage banking activities as a percentage of loan origination is due to the relative mix of loans originated.  Total expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $42.3 million compared to $41.1 million for the same period last year, a 3% increase.  The increase in total expenses was due to general increases resulting from organic growth in the Company and increased costs attributable to being a public registrant.  Personnel expense as a percentage of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 31%, compared to 37% for the same period last year.  Operating margin was 41% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 35% for the same period last year.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $17.8 million and net income for the same period last year was $22.5 million.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 should be compared to the pro

forma net income of $13.7 million for the same period last year, a 29% increase, due to the changes in corporate tax structure relating to the Company’s initial public offering.

TAX

The Company reported tax expense of $7.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 and recorded no tax expense for the second quarter of 2010. Concurrent with the closing of its initial public offering in December 2010 the Company’s tax status changed from a pass-through entity to a C-Corporation.  Prior to its change in tax status the tax liability on the Company’s earnings had been the obligation of its owners, resulting in insignificant corporate federal and state tax expense during the comparative period in 2010.  Pro-forma tax expense would have been $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2010 had the Company’s income from operations been subject to corporate federal and state income tax.

KEY CREDIT METRICS

(dollars in thousands)

(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 Company’s 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 60 days delinquent, and are included in 60 day delinquencies, within 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.
