“PMT delivered strong results in the fourth quarter, generating earnings per share of $0.48, above the dividend level for an annualized return on common equity of 13%,” said Chairman and CEO David Spector. “These results were primarily driven by solid contributions from our credit sensitive and interest rate sensitive strategies, including a tax benefit, demonstrating the earnings power of our investment portfolio in the current market environment. We took significant steps to build future earnings potential, accelerating our organic investment activity with the execution of eight private label securitizations totaling $2.8 billion in UPB, retaining more than $180 million in new subordinate bond investments with attractive return profiles. Additionally, we further strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity position through the opportunistic issuance of $150 million in exchangeable senior notes. These actions highlight our ability to actively manage capital and consistently create high-quality investments at scale.”

Mr. Spector continued, “Fundamentally, PMT’s success is anchored by its synergistic relationship with PFSI. Our ability to leverage PFSI’s multi-channel production platform and best-in-class servicing capabilities is unique in the industry and allows us to organically create a steady flow of investments with strong risk adjusted returns. As we look ahead, I am confident that this comprehensive platform will drive our ability to continue generating earnings that support our dividend and drive long-term value for our shareholders.”

The following table presents the contributions of PMT’s segments to pretax income:

Credit Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Credit Sensitive Strategies segment primarily includes results from PMT’s organically-created GSE CRT investments and investments in non-Agency subordinate bonds from private-label securitizations of PMT’s production. Pretax income for the segment was $23.5 million on net investment income of $23.6 million, compared to pretax income of $18.8 million on net investment income of $18.8 million in the prior quarter.

Net gains on investments in the segment were $24.8 million, compared to $17.6 million in the prior quarter. These net gains included $16.2 million of gains from PMT’s organically-created GSE CRT investments and $8.7 million of gains from non-Agency subordinate bonds from PMT’s production.

Net gains on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments for the quarter were $16.2 million, compared to $13.7 million in the prior quarter. These net gains included $3.6 million in valuation-related gains, which reflected the impact of credit spread tightening in the fourth quarter, up from $1.5 million in the prior quarter. Net gains on PMT’s organically-created CRT investments also included $13.3 million in realized gains and carry, compared to $13.5 million in the prior quarter. Realized losses during the quarter were $0.7 million, down from $1.3 million in the prior quarter.

Net interest expense for the segment totaled $1.3 million, compared to $1.3 million of net interest income in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $17.5 million, down from $20.9 million in the prior quarter. Interest expense totaled $18.9 million, down from $19.6 million in the prior quarter.

Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies segment includes results from investments in MSRs, Agency MBS, non-Agency senior MBS and interest rate hedges. The segment includes investments that typically have offsetting fair value exposures to changes in interest rates. For example, in a period with decreasing interest rates, MSRs are expected to decrease in fair value, whereas Agency pass-through and non-Agency senior MBS are expected to increase in fair value. The results in the Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies segment consist of net gains and losses on investments, net loan servicing fees and net interest income, as well as associated expenses.

Pretax income for the segment was $28.5 million on net investment income of $52.7 million, compared to pretax income of $32.3 million on net investment income of $56.5 million in the prior quarter.

Net loan servicing fees were $36.8 million, compared to $15.4 million in the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees included contractually specified servicing fees of $151.3 million and $4.0 million in other fees, reduced by $103.9 million in realization of MSR cash flows, which was up from $89.4 million in the prior quarter due to higher prepayment activity. Net loan servicing fees also included $26.2 million in fair value gains on MSRs, $45.0 million in hedging losses, and $4.1 million of MSR recapture income.

Net gains on investments for the segment were $28.2 million, which primarily consisted of gains on MBS. PMT’s hedging activities are intended to manage its net exposure across all interest rate sensitive strategies, which include MSRs, MBS and related tax effects.

The following schedule details net loan servicing fees:

Net interest expense for the segment was $12.3 million versus $5.4 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $189.0 million, up from $173.8 million in the prior quarter primarily due to a higher amount of retained investments from private label securitizations. Interest expense totaled $201.3 million, up from $179.2 million in the prior quarter, due to higher financing balances.

Segment expenses were $24.2 million, unchanged from the prior quarter.

Correspondent Production Segment

Correspondent production volumes are initially acquired by PFSI. PMT retains the right to purchase up to 100 percent of non-government correspondent loan production. After purchasing certain conventional conforming and non-Agency eligible loans from PFSI, PMT sells or securitizes those loans, resulting in current period income. PMT’s Correspondent Production segment generated a pretax loss of $1.0 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $9.2 million of pretax income in the prior quarter.

PMT purchased a total of $3.7 billion in UPB of conventional conforming and non-Agency eligible loans through its fulfillment agreement that PFSI acquired from correspondent sellers, up 10 percent from the prior quarter. PMT acquired 17 percent of total conventional conforming correspondent production and 100 percent of non-Agency eligible correspondent production in the fourth quarter. PMT is expected to acquire all non-Agency eligible correspondent production and 15 to 25 percent of total conventional conforming correspondent production in the first quarter of 2026. Interest rate lock commitments on conventional conforming and non-Agency eligible loans for PMT’s account totaled $4.1 billion, down 7 percent from the prior quarter. Additionally, PMT acquired $1.8 billion in UPB of loans from PFSI’s production for inclusion in private label securitizations, up from $1.3 billion in the prior quarter.

Segment revenues were $16.4 million and included net gains on loans acquired for sale of $7.2 million, net interest income of $6.3 million, and other income of $2.9 million, which primarily consists of volume-based origination fees. Net gains on loans acquired for sale decreased $7.7 million from the prior quarter, due to the impact of spread widening on jumbo loans held for sale during aggregation and lower overall channel margins. Interest income was $39.4 million, up from $33.1 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense was $33.1 million, up from $28.2 million in the prior quarter.

Segment expenses were $17.4 million, up from $13.7 million in the prior quarter due to increased private label securitization activity. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate in the fourth quarter was 18 basis points, essentially unchanged from the prior quarter.

Corporate

Corporate includes interest income from cash and short-term investments, management fees, and corporate expenses.

Corporate revenues were $0.9 million, unchanged from the prior quarter. Corporate expenses were $15.7 million, up slightly from $14.3 million in the prior quarter, and consisted of management fees of $6.9 million and $8.9 million of other corporate expenses.

Taxes

PMT recorded a tax benefit of $16.2 million, driven primarily by net fair value declines on MSR and interest rate hedges held in its taxable REIT subsidiary.
