WALTER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CORP. ANNOUNCES STRONG

THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS

(Tampa, Fla.) – Walter Investment Management Corp. (NYSE MKT: WAC) (“Walter Investment” or the “Company”) today announced highlights and results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

 

   

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $60.3 million, driven primarily by strong incentive and performance fees and lower servicing expenses due to a reduction in costs for adjustments made to certain contracts to reflect current market conditions. GAAP net income for the third quarter was $6.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. GAAP results for the third quarter also reflected strong incentive and performance fees and the reduction in servicing expenses, as well as gains on fair value primarily related to the non-residual trusts.

 

   

Core earnings for the third quarter increased to $22.1 million after taxes, or $0.75 per diluted share. This compares to $16.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, reported in the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

Strong earnings and cash flow continued to drive rapid amortization of debt and a reduction in leverage. During the third quarter, the Company reduced corporate debt by $21.5 million and decreased its leverage ratio from 3.17x to 2.98x.

 

   

On September 4, 2012 the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. (“RMS”), the preeminent originations and servicing platform in the reverse mortgage space. The acquisition was completed on November 1, 2012.

 

   

The Company also announced that it had been awarded its second delinquency flow program and received an initial transfer of over 13,000 accounts with a UPB in excess of $2 billion under this program on November 1, 2012. Together with the first delinquency flow program announced in June, it is anticipated these programs will add an average of approximately 10,000 units per month over their term.

 

   

On October 23, 2012, the Company completed its concurrent offerings of common stock and convertible senior subordinated notes. The common stock offering raised net proceeds of $276.1 million, while the convertible senior subordinated notes offering raised net proceeds of $280.4 million, in both cases after the underwriters exercised in full their option to purchase additional shares or notes. The proceeds of the common stock offering were used to partially fund the acquisition of RMS, improve the Company’s liquidity in anticipation of potential growth opportunities, including acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. The proceeds from the convertible senior subordinated notes offering were used to pay down Walter Investment’s existing $265 million second lien term loan facility and to pay related fees, expenses and premiums.

On October 24, 2012, Walter Investment announced that it was jointly awarded, with Ocwen Loan Servicing, the highest and best bid for the mortgage servicing and origination platform assets of Residential Capital, LLC (“ResCap”). The Company’s portion of the bid, which approximated $540 million, provides for Walter Investment to acquire approximately $50.4 billion of Fannie Mae MSRs, $183 million of related advances, and the ResCap originations and capital markets platforms. The final purchase price is subject to downward adjustment to reflect an expected decline in the amount of MSRs and related advances to be acquired between the bid date and the closing date. The acquisition, which is subject to U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval and the satisfaction of customary conditions to close, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013.

 

   

On October 26, 2012, the Company announced it had engaged Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. to assist it with the arrangement of a senior secured first lien term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $600 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds of these borrowings to repay all indebtedness outstanding under its existing first lien term loan, to pay related transaction costs and expenses, for working capital, for potential growth opportunities, including acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes.

“We continue to produce strong financial and operational performance even as we make great progress towards achieving our long-term growth objectives,” stated Mark J. O’Brien, Walter Investment’s Chairman and CEO. “The opportunities in our pipeline have accelerated, and we believe the capital initiatives undertaken in October have positioned us extremely well to capitalize on those opportunities. We are very positive about the high quality prospects in our pipeline, especially those in the exclusive portion of that pipeline. We intend to continue to pursue those opportunities that we feel are the best fit for our platform and which meet our internal return thresholds. The recent acquisition of RMS and the announced acquisition of the ResCap Fannie Mae MSR portfolio and originations platform are great examples of these types of opportunities.”

In addition to results for the third quarter, the Company also provided additional information on its business development activities and outlook for the remainder of 2012.

 

   

The Company’s pipeline of business development opportunities continues to include a mix of subservicing, MSR acquisition and servicing platform opportunities and totals in excess of $500 billion of UPB. Included in this pipeline are portfolios for which we are in exclusive negotiations with a UPB in excess of $110 billion. This exclusive portion of the pipeline includes the approximately $50 billion of Fannie Mae ResCap MSRs which we anticipate will be confirmed at the ResCap Bankruptcy Court confirmation hearing scheduled for November 19. The exclusive pipeline also includes opportunities in excess of $40 billion in UPB which represent subservicing opportunities.

 

   

Based on continued strong operating results and expectations for the Company’s other initiatives and business development opportunities, the Company continues to expect its 2012 Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA to be at or above the mid-point of the range of previously provided guidance of $225 to $240 million.

Third Quarter 2012 Financial and Operating Highlights

The Company’s GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $6.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share. This compares to a net loss of $65.5 million, or $2.30 per diluted share in the third quarter of last year. The results for the prior year included a charge included in tax expense of $63.5 million related to the Company no longer qualifying as a REIT.

Core earnings after taxes for the third quarter of 2012 was $22.1 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, compared to $16.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2011. The improvement in results from the prior year was due to increased revenues from new business additions, principally the new portfolios added in the last four months of 2011. This and other new business more than offset normalized portfolio runoff. Total accounts serviced were approximately 970,000 with a UPB of $78.6 billion as of September 30, 2012. These amounts do not reflect the recently announced acquisitions of RMS and ResCap.

Total revenue for the third quarter was $160.8 million, an increase of $8.9 million compared to $151.9 million in the year-ago period. Higher servicing revenues and fees were from growth in the UPB serviced and increased incentive and performance fees, partially offset by lower interest income on the legacy Walter portfolio, which is in runoff. Results for the current quarter reflect $101.0 million of servicing revenue and fees, $17.3 million of insurance revenue and $4.4 million of other income.

 


Total expense was $153.3 million in the third quarter, down slightly from the year ago period. Higher costs associated with the increase in accounts serviced and a higher provision for losses were offset by lower interest expense and decreased depreciation and amortization expense.

Walter Investment ended the quarter with liquidity of $128.2 million, including cash of $38.5 million and availability on its revolver of $89.7 million. Payments of $21.6 million were made to reduce outstanding Company indebtedness during the quarter. Since the closing of the acquisition of Green Tree, Company indebtedness has been reduced by a total of $111.1 million, or $3.80 per diluted share.

Segments

The results of the Company’s segments are presented in the narrative below:

Servicing

The Servicing segment generated revenue of $96.9 million in the third quarter, which included $71.1 million of servicing fees, $15.7 million of incentive and performance based fees and $9.7 million of ancillary and other fees. Expense for the Servicing segment was $78.5 million, which included $20.4 million of depreciation and amortization expense. The segment generated income before income taxes of $18.1 million and core earnings before income taxes of $36.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. This compares to income before income taxes of $11.6 million and core earnings before income taxes of $31.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. The improvement over the prior year was driven by a $6.9 million increase in revenues and $2.7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation expense of $1.3 million.

Asset Receivables Management (“ARM”) and Insurance

The ARM segment generated revenue of $9.8 million and expense of $7.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Core earnings before income taxes in the third quarter was $4.2 million, compared to $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2011. The improvement over last year reflects an improved rate of collections on notional balances serviced, as well as an improvement in margins.

Walter Investment’s Insurance segment generated revenue of $17.4 million, offset by expenses of $9.4 million, for the third quarter. Segment core earnings before income taxes was $9.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $9.1 million in the year earlier period.

Loans and Residuals

The Loans and Residuals segment, which includes the legacy Walter Investment owned portfolio, generated interest income of $38.0 million for the third quarter of 2012, approximately $3.3 million lower than interest income generated in the third quarter of 2011. This decrease reflected lower average balances outstanding as a result of runoff and a slightly lower average yield on loans due to an increase in 90+ day delinquencies. Total expense for the segment was $34.0 million, including $23.1 million of interest expense on securitized debt and a $4.6 million provision for loan losses. The Loans and Residuals segment generated income before income taxes of $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared to income before income taxes of $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2011.

Performance of the Walter Investment legacy portfolio included delinquencies of 6.50% at September 30, 2012, 70 bps higher as compared to June 30, 2012 and consistent with historical seasonal movement in these metrics. The delinquency rate was 120 basis points higher than the 5.30% ratio in the prior year period, reflecting higher expected rates of delinquencies on distressed loans acquired at significant discounts in 2010 and 2011. Levels of REO inventory declined as compared to the prior year period, evidencing the Company’s continued success in efforts to reduce levels of REO inventory.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future.

Core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings per share and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP. See the Non-GAAP Reconciliations above for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings per share measure the Company’s financial performance excluding depreciation and amortization costs related to business combination transactions, transaction and merger integration-related costs, certain other non-cash adjustments, and the net impact of the consolidated Non-Residual Trust VIEs.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA measures the Company’s financial performance excluding depreciation and amortization costs, corporate and MSR facility interest expense, transaction and merger integration-related costs, certain other non-cash adjustments, the net impact of the consolidated Non-Residual Trust VIEs and certain other items as defined by our first and second lien credit agreements, including, but not limited to pro forma synergies.

Core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings per share may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a means of evaluating our core operating performance.

The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Financial Measures can be useful to investors because they provide a means by which investors can evaluate the Company’s underlying key drivers and operating performance of the business, exclusive of certain adjustments and activities that investors may consider to be unrelated to the underlying economic performance of the business for a given period.

Use of Core Earnings and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA by Management

The Company manages the business based upon the achievement of core earnings, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and similar targets and has designed certain management incentives based upon the achievement of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA in order to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business for the year and to have a basis to compare underlying operating results to prior and future periods.

Limitations on the Use of Core Earnings and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA

Since core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax) and core earnings per share measure the Company’s financial performance excluding depreciation and amortization costs related to acquisitions, transaction and merger integration-related costs, certain other non-cash adjustments, and the net impact of the consolidated Non-Residual Trust VIEs, they may not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA measures the Company’s financial performance excluding depreciation and amortization costs, corporate and MSR facility interest expense, transaction and merger integration-related costs, certain other non-cash adjustments, the net impact of the consolidated Non-Residual Trust VIEs and certain other items as defined by our first and second lien credit agreements, including, but not limited to pro forma synergies, they may not reflect all amounts associated with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP

Core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings per share and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA involve differences from segment profit (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share computed in accordance with GAAP. Core earnings (pre-tax and after-tax), core earnings per share and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as supplementary to, and not as a substitute for, segment profit (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company’s financial performance.

Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP earnings. Further, the non-GAAP measures presented by Walter Investment may be defined or calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies.
