Stonegate Mortgage Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

INDIANAPOLIS, IN --(Marketwired - November 03, 2016) - Stonegate Mortgage Corporation ( NYSE : SGM ) ("Stonegate Mortgage" or the "Company"), a leading, non-bank mortgage company focused on originating, financing and servicing U.S. residential mortgage loans, today reported financial results and operating performance for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. These results are based on continuing operations, unless otherwise noted, as the retail restructuring announced last year resulted in, and is presented as, discontinued operations.

Total revenues during the third quarter of 2016 were $66.3 million, up $39.8 million, or 150%, compared to the second quarter of 2016. Compared to the third quarter of 2015, revenues were up $40.7 million, or 159%. The increase in revenues during the third quarter of 2016 as compared to both the second quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2015 was predominantly the result of favorable changes in the fair value of our MSRs and increases in gains on mortgage loans held for sale, partially offset by lower servicing fee income from a decline in our average servicing portfolio.

Total expenses during the third quarter of 2016 were $50.4 million, up $6.8 million, or 16%, compared to the second quarter of 2016. Compared to the third quarter of 2015, expenses declined $4.4 million, or 8%.

Income tax expense during the third quarter of 2016 was $0.3 million, up $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2016 and up $9.4 million compared to the third quarter of 2015. The expense in the third quarter of 2016 was positively impacted by the reversal of $6.2 million of the valuation allowance established in prior periods.

Net income from continuing operations improved $32.7 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2016 to $15.6 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $17.2 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2016. Net income from continuing operations was up $35.8 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, compared to the third quarter of 2015, during which we reported a net loss from continuing operations of $20.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share.

Adjusted net income from continuing operations 1 for the third quarter of 2016 was $11.0 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, after excluding pre-tax mortgage servicing rights valuation adjustments of $4.9 million compared to reported adjusted net income from continuing operations of $1.0 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was up $8.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to the third quarter of 2015, during which we reported adjusted net income from continuing operations of $2.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.

"We are extremely pleased to report strong GAAP and adjusted net income for the third quarter," said Jim Smith, Chief Executive Officer. "Our business platform was well prepared to benefit from increased production levels during the quarter and, as a result, we achieved GAAP earnings of $15.6 million and adjusted net income of $11.0 million. We continue to be highly focused on maintaining prudent liquidity and MSR debt levels, as well as fully leveraging our cost structure. Thanks to the dedication and commitment of our associates and the support of our many customers, Stonegate continues to deliver value to our shareholders."

1 Adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are considered non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures and are presented to provide additional information about our core operations. See below for a discussion of the use of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable measure prepared in accordance with GAAP.
