Current report
Due to declining mortgage production volumes and improving technology, we implemented cost reduction measures in the third quarter of 2026 to reduce expenses. However, despite our expectation that mortgage production volumes will decline, we expect our volumes of non-qualified mortgage production to increase as we continue to expand our presence in that market. We also expect to sell all of our non-agency correspondent loans and none of our conventional conforming correspondent loans to PMT in the third quarter of 2026.

Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, income before income taxes decreased $44.4 million compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to increases in compensation expense of $69.7 million, origination expense of $60.6 million, servicing expense of $30.6 million and other expense of $25.6 million, partially offset by a $205.5 million increase in loan production revenue due to higher volume in the broker and consumer direct channels and a $10.8 million increase in other income.

Previous wording
Recent macroeconomic trend and U.S. federal government administration actions with respect to trade, tariffs, government cost reduction efforts and foreign military action have led to significant volatility in financial markets and uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, including inflation and interest rates. Elevated interest rates in recent years have also constrained the mortgage origination market, which is currently projected to increase from $1.9 trillion in 2025 to $2.3 trillion in 2026 according to mortgage industry economists.
Current wording
Recent macroeconomic trend and U.S. federal government administration actions with respect to trade, tariffs, government cost reduction efforts and foreign military action have led to significant volatility in financial markets and uncertainty regarding the economic outlook, including inflation and interest rates. Elevated interest rates in recent years have constrained the mortgage origination market, which is currently projected to increase from $1.9 trillion in 2025 to $2.2 trillion in 2026 according to mortgage industry economists, although recent increases in interest rates may lead to a reduction in origination estimates for 2026.
Previous wording
The opportunity for refinancing has increased in recent periods, driven by interest rate volatility and a greater proportion of outstanding mortgages with note rates near current market rates. If such interest rate volatility continues, it may drive greater mortgage production activity and higher prepayment speeds than we have experienced in recent years. Additionally, reductions in the Federal Reserve’s federal funds rate have reduced the costs of floating rate borrowings and placement fees we receive in relation to custodial funds that we manage as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The current period of economic uncertainty and market volatility may also lead to a reduction in economic activity and slowing home price growth or depreciation, which could lead to increasing mortgage delinquencies or defaults and increase losses from the representations and warranties we provide in our loan sales transactions.
Current wording
Recent increases in interest and mortgage rates have limited consumers’ opportunity for refinancing. If mortgage rates remain at recent levels or continue to increase, mortgage production activity and prepayment speeds will decrease from levels observed in late 2025 and early 2026. Additionally, reductions in the Federal Reserve’s federal funds rate have reduced the costs of floating rate borrowings and placement fees we receive in relation to custodial funds that we manage as compared to prior periods; however, market indicators currently suggest that the Federal Reserve could begin increasing short-term interest rates later in 2026. The current period of economic uncertainty and market volatility may also lead to a reduction in economic activity and slowing home price growth or depreciation, which could lead to increasing mortgage delinquencies or defaults and increase losses from the representations and warranties we provide in our loan sales transactions.
