FORT WASHINGTON, Pa., Nov. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Walter Investment Management Corp. (NYSE: WAC.BC) today announced a GAAP net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 of $124.1 million, or $3.38 per share, as compared to a GAAP net loss of $213.3 million, or $5.90 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The current quarter net loss included non-cash fair value charges of $70.5 million due to changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions. Adjusted Loss was $31.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA ("AEBITDA") was $44.7 million in the current quarter as compared to Adjusted Loss of $22.2 million and AEBITDA of $93.8 million in the prior year quarter.

Anthony Renzi, Chief Executive Officer and President of Walter, said, "During the quarter, we remained focused on strengthening our core businesses of originating and servicing Fannie, Freddie and Ginnie Mae loans under the Ditech Financial brand and servicing reverse loans, while pursuing opportunities to maximize results in our legacy businesses. We are working to increase productivity and efficiency across the Company. As part of these efforts, we have made meaningful progress consolidating our core business footprint, including making tough decisions to close locations. Our strong and dedicated team is committed to continuously improving the client experience and our first priority is always listening, learning and caring for our customers. Looking ahead, we plan to build on our commitment of enabling the dream of homeownership for our customers and caring for them throughout their homeownership journey. We are confident that our 'front to back' process will continue to create great customer experiences and repeat transactions, and help us be better positioned to deliver consistent profitability in the future."

Mr. Renzi continued, "Our operating performance is improving in many areas, and we are continuing our financial restructuring efforts. As previously announced, we completed an important step in our financial restructuring when we launched the solicitation of certain of our creditors on November 6, 2017. We expect our business operations to continue as normal during the execution phase of our financial restructuring, and we expect to emerge from this process as a stronger company that is better positioned to serve our customers."

Third Quarter 2017 Financial and Operating Overview

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2017 was $176.6 million, a decrease of $120.7 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreases of $49.0 million in net gains on sales of loans, $46.6 million in net servicing revenue and fees, $16.8 million in net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations and $7.8 million in insurance revenue. The decrease in net gains on sales of loans resulted from an overall lower volume of locked loans and a shift in mix from the higher margin consumer channel to the lower margin correspondent and wholesale channels. The decrease in net servicing revenue and fees was primarily driven by a $53.5 million decline in servicing fees due to the reduction in our MSR portfolio driven by MSR sales in 2016 and 2017 and continued runoff of the servicing portfolio. This decrease was offset by a $13.1 million improvement in fair value changes and increased level of sub-servicing. The fair value reduction due to changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions was $15.7 million higher in the prior year quarter and the realization of expected cash flow charge was lower by $28.8 million in the current year quarter due in part to the MSR sales mentioned above. The decrease in net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations was primarily due to increased net non-cash fair value losses resulting from valuation model assumption adjustments for buyout loans and changes in market pricing during the third quarter of 2017 as well as a decrease in cash generated by the origination, purchase and securitization of HECMs resulting from overall lower origination volumes due to our exit from the reverse mortgage originations business, partially offset by a shift in mix from lower margin new originations to higher margin tails. The decrease in insurance revenue was due to the sale of the principal insurance agency and substantially all of the insurance agency business during the first quarter of 2017.

Total expenses for the third quarter of 2017 were $303.1 million, a decrease of $162.6 million as compared to the prior year quarter, driven by $97.7 million in goodwill impairment recorded during the third quarter of 2016 and a decrease of $41.7 million in salaries and benefits resulting primarily from a lower average headcount driven by site closures and various organizational changes to the scale and proficiency of the leadership team and support functions, and our decision to exit the reverse mortgage originations business as well as decreases related to a change in the commissions structure, and decreases in bonus accruals, severance, overtime and stock compensation expense related to increased forfeitures and fewer grants during 2017.

Results for the Company's segments are presented below.

Servicing

Ditech serviced 1.7 million accounts with a UPB of $199.6 billion as of September 30, 2017. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, Ditech experienced a net disappearance rate of 14.86%, a decrease of 2.82% as compared to the prior year quarter.

The Servicing segment reported $69.3 million of pre-tax loss for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to a pre-tax loss of $161.6 million in the prior year quarter. During the third quarter of 2017, the segment generated revenue of $90.5 million, a $58.4 million decrease as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to a decrease of $46.7 million in net servicing revenue and fees. The decrease in net servicing revenue and fees primarily resulted from a $53.6 million decline in servicing fees due to the reduction in our MSR portfolio driven by MSR sales in 2016 and 2017 and continued runoff of the portfolio. This decrease was offset by $13.1 million improvement in fair value changes and increased level of sub-servicing. The fair value reduction due to changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions was $15.7 million higher in the prior year quarter and the realization of expected cash flow charge was lower by $28.8 million in the current year quarter due in part to the MSR sales mentioned above.

Total expenses in the Servicing segment for the third quarter of 2017 were $159.3 million, a decrease of $150.4 million as compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease was driven by $91.0 million in goodwill impairment recorded during the third quarter of 2016. In addition, there were decreases of $24.5 million in salaries and benefits resulting primarily from a lower average headcount driven by site closures, organizational changes and a shift from full-time employees to outsourced services, $8.6 million in legal fees, $8.5 million in contractor and other costs related to the implementation of MSP and business and outsourcing initiatives that occurred in 2016, $8.4 million in expense allocations, $5.1 million in compensating interest due to the reduction in our MSR portfolio, and $9.5 million in other cost savings, offset in part by increases of $6.0 million in advance loss provision and $4.7 million in charges associated with default servicing. Current quarter expenses included $11.8 million of interest expense and $8.5 million of depreciation and amortization.

The Servicing segment reported an Adjusted Loss of $13.1 million and AEBITDA of $30.7 million for the third quarter of 2017. Adjusted Loss improved $15.6 million as compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to lower amortization of servicing rights in addition to lower expenses partially offset by lower revenue as discussed above. AEBITDA decreased $17.7 million as compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to lower adjusted servicing fees, insurance revenue and intersegment retention revenue, offset in part by lower adjusted general and administrative expense and salaries and benefits.

Originations

Ditech generated total pull-through adjusted locked volume of $3.3 billion for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $2.5 billion as compared to the prior year quarter. Funded loans in the current quarter totaled $3.7 billion, a decrease of $1.6 billion from the prior year quarter. The combined direct margin in the current quarter was 105 bps, consisting of a weighted average of 221 bps direct margin in the consumer lending channel and 35 bps direct margin in the correspondent and wholesale channels. The decrease in combined direct margin of 4 bps from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a higher direct expense margin, partially offset by higher gain on sale of loans and fee income margins. The direct expense margin increase was driven by higher compensation in the consumer channel due to incentive plan changes and fixed headcount costs, higher advertising expenses due to a shift in strategy towards digital leads and higher interest expense due to higher average interest rates on our warehouse financing facilities. These were partially offset by lower intersegment expense as a result of lower overall retention volume due to our smaller MSR portfolio. The gain on sale of loans margin increased in part due to higher margins in the consumer channel during the third quarter of 2017. The Originations business delivered a recapture rate of 17% in the current quarter.

The Originations segment reported $19.9 million of pre-tax income for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $31.8 million from the prior year quarter. During the third quarter of 2017, this segment generated revenue of $81.3 million, a decrease of $52.2 million from the prior year quarter. Net gains on sales of loans decreased $50.3 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to an overall lower volume of locked loans combined with a shift in mix from the higher margin consumer channel to the lower margin correspondent and wholesale channels.

Total expenses for the Originations segment for the third quarter of 2017 were $61.4 million, a decrease of $20.4 million compared to the prior year quarter, driven by a $7.1 million decrease in intersegment retention expense primarily as a result of lower overall retention volume due to our smaller MSR portfolio and a $6.2 million decrease in salaries in benefits driven by reduced commissions and incentives due to lower originations volume and lower severance, bonuses and overtime. Current quarter expenses included $7.8 million of interest expense and $0.6 million of depreciation and amortization.

The Originations segment reported Adjusted Earnings of $19.8 million and AEBITDA of $18.1 million for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $35.7 million and $39.8 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to lower net gains on sales of loans, partially offset by decreases in intersegment retention expense and salaries and benefits.

Reverse Mortgage

The Reverse Mortgage segment serviced 109,153 accounts with a UPB of $19.8 billion at September 30, 2017. During the current quarter, the business securitized $90.6 million of HECM loans.

The Reverse Mortgage segment reported $24.9 million of pre-tax loss for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to pre-tax loss of $23.0 million in the prior year quarter. During the third quarter of 2017, this segment generated revenue of $9.1 million, a decrease of $17.9 million from the prior year quarter. Net interest income on reverse loans and HMBS related obligations increased $4.4 million for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016, primarily as a result of a decrease in HMBS related obligations due to an increase in buyouts, partially offset by an increase in nonperforming reverse loans, which generally have lower interest rates than performing loans. Cash generated by the origination, purchase and securitization of HECMs decreased $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016 primarily due to our exit from the reverse mortgage originations business, partially offset by a shift in mix from lower margin new originations to higher margin tails. Net non-cash fair value losses increased by $18.8 million for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period of 2016 due primarily to valuation model assumption adjustments related to buyout loans and changes in market pricing in the third quarter of 2017. Current quarter revenues also included $6.5 million in net servicing revenue and fees and $0.8 million of other revenues.

Total expenses for the Reverse Mortgage segment for the third quarter of 2017 were $34.0 million, a decrease of $16.1 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease in total expenses was driven by $6.7 million in intangible assets impairment charges recorded during the third quarter of 2016, a $6.2 million decrease in salaries and benefits due primarily to lower compensation and benefits, bonuses, commissions and overtime as a result of lower origination volume and lower average headcount resulting from our decision to exit the reverse mortgage originations business, and a $5.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses due primarily to lower advertising costs due to our exit from the reverse mortgage originations business in 2017, lower contractor fees and lower corporate allocations. Current quarter expenses included $6.4 million of interest expense and $0.6 million of depreciation and amortization.

The Reverse Mortgage segment reported an Adjusted Loss of $5.1 million and AEBITDA of $(4.1) million for the third quarter of 2017, an improvement of $8.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively, as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreases in general and administrative expenses and salaries and benefits.

Other Non-Reportable Segment

The Other Non-Reportable segment reported $49.3 million of pre-tax loss for the third quarter of 2017, an increase in loss of $24.1 million as compared to the prior year quarter resulting primarily from expenses related to our debt restructuring initiative. Other net fair value gains were $4.3 million for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to other net fair value losses of $2.7 million in the prior year quarter, driven by improved default rate assumptions partially offset by a 32 bps increase in the discount rate of mortgage loans related to Non-Residual Trusts during the third quarter of 2017.

The Other non-reportable segment had an Adjusted Loss of $33.1 million and AEBITDA of $(0.1) million for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to an Adjusted Loss of $35.7 million and AEBITDA of $(1.7) million in the prior year quarter.

Company Restructuring

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated November 6, 2017, we commenced the solicitation of votes to obtain acceptances for a prepackaged plan of reorganization under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, which provides for the restructuring of our indebtedness consisting of our 2013 Term Loan, Senior Notes and Convertible Notes, as well as our outstanding common stock. As of November 6, 2017, the holders of more than 85% of the Senior Notes and more than 95% of the 2013 Term Loans are party to restructuring support agreements which require them to vote to approve the prepackaged plan of reorganization. We intend to commence a prepackaged chapter 11 case to implement the restructuring following the conclusion of the solicitation and on or before November 30, 2017. We intend to complete the reorganization process on an expedited basis, contemplated to be not later than January 31, 2018. Our operating entities, including Ditech and RMS, are not expected to file for chapter 11 and expect to continue their operations in the ordinary course throughout the consummation of the restructuring, although no assurance can be given that this will be the case.

In connection with the restructuring, the Company, Ditech and RMS entered into a commitment letter with certain lenders regarding the terms of the DIP warehouse facilities, which, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court, will provide us with up to $1.9 billion in available warehouse financing. Proceeds of the new warehouse facilities are intended to refinance RMS's and Ditech's existing warehouse and servicer advance facilities and to fund Ditech's and RMS' continued business operations. Walter will guarantee Ditech's and RMS' obligations under the DIP Warehouse Facilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We manage our company in three reportable segments: Servicing, Originations and Reverse Mortgage. We evaluate the performance of our business segments through the following measures: income (loss) before income taxes, Adjusted Earnings (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA. Management considers Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP financial measures, to be important in the evaluation of our business segments and of the company as a whole, as well as for allocating capital resources to our segments. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental metrics utilized by management to assess the underlying key drivers and operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use these measures when analyzing our operating performance. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our use of these measures and terms may vary from other companies in our industry.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, plus changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions; goodwill and intangible assets impairment, if any; a portion of the provision for curtailment expense, net of expected third-party recoveries, if applicable; share-based compensation expense or benefit; non-cash interest expense; exit costs; estimated settlements and costs for certain legal and regulatory matters; fair value to cash adjustments for reverse loans; and select other cash and non-cash adjustments primarily including severance, gain or loss on extinguishment of corporate debt, the net impact of the Non-Residual Trusts, transaction and integration costs, and certain non-recurring costs, as applicable. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) excludes unrealized changes in fair value of MSR that are based on projections of expected future cash flows and prepayments. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) includes both cash and non-cash gains from mortgage loan origination activities. Non-cash gains are net of non-cash charges or reserves provided. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) includes cash generated from reverse mortgage origination activities for the period in which we were originating reverse mortgages. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) may from time to time also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors with a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

We revised our method of calculating Adjusted Earnings (Loss) beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 to eliminate adjustments for the step-up depreciation and amortization, which represents depreciation and amortization costs related to the increased basis in assets (including servicing rights and subservicing contracts) acquired within business combination transactions. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this revision.

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, plus amortization of servicing rights and other fair value adjustments; interest expense on corporate debt; depreciation and amortization; goodwill and intangible assets impairment, if any; a portion of the provision for curtailment expense, net of expected third-party recoveries, if applicable; share-based compensation expense or benefit; exit costs; estimated settlements and costs for certain legal and regulatory matters; fair value to cash adjustments for reverse loans; select other cash and non-cash adjustments primarily the net provision for the repurchase of loans sold, non-cash interest income, severance, gain or loss on extinguishment of corporate debt, interest income on unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, the net impact of the Non-Residual Trusts, the provision for loan losses, Residual Trust cash flows, transaction and integration costs, servicing fee economics, and certain non-recurring costs, as applicable. Adjusted EBITDA includes both cash and non-cash gains from mortgage loan origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of fair value option accounting on certain assets and liabilities and includes cash generated from reverse mortgage origination activities for the period in which we were originating reverse mortgages. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (loss) or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these metrics are:


    --  Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash
        expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and
        will be incurred, future requirements for capital expenditures or
        contractual commitments;
    --  Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in,
        or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
    --  Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect certain tax
        payments that represent reductions in cash available to us;
    --  Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash
        requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may
        have to be replaced in the future;
    --  Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect non-cash
        compensation that is and will remain a key element of our overall
        long-term incentive compensation package;
    --  Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the change
        in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions;
    --  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the change in fair value resulting from
        the realization of expected cash flows; and
    --  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the
        cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on
        our servicing rights related liabilities and corporate debt, although it
        does reflect interest expense associated with our servicing advance
        liabilities, master repurchase agreements, mortgage-backed debt, and
        HMBS related obligations.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplements. Users of our financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA.

    (1)   We revised our method of calculating Adjusted Earnings (Loss) beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 to eliminate adjustments for step-up depreciation and amortization, which represents depreciation and amortization costs related to the increased basis in assets (including servicing rights and subservicing contracts) acquired
     within business combination transactions. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this revision.

    (1)   We revised our method of calculating Adjusted Earnings (Loss) beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 to eliminate adjustments for step-up depreciation and amortization, which represents depreciation and amortization costs related to the increased basis in assets (including servicing rights and subservicing contracts) acquired within
     business combination transactions. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect this revision.
