"In the third quarter PMT produced outstanding results and growth in book value per share with a 14 percent annualized return on common equity," said Chairman and CEO David Spector. "These results were primarily driven by strong levels of income excluding market-driven value changes combined with strong interest rate risk hedging results. As part of our active capital management strategy to optimize returns, this quarter we sold $195 million of opportunistic investments in GSE-issued CRT, realizing significant gains. The sale of these investments frees up capital for PMT to invest in newly created assets with higher projected returns from our ongoing private label securitization efforts. In the third quarter we successfully completed four non-Agency securitizations totaling $1.5 billion in UPB and retained $140 million of newly created securities."

We consolidate the assets and liabilities of the trust that issued the subordinate and senior bonds; accordingly, these investments are shown as Loans at fair value and Asset-backed financing of variable interest entities at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets

Mr. Spector continued, "Our relationship with PFSI continues to be a cornerstone of our success, reinforcing our capabilities and providing a key competitive advantage in the ability to organically create new investments. PMT's improved return potential is driven by the new organic investments being created as a result of our firmly established position as a leading issuer of private label securitizations. We anticipate our earnings per share over the next year to average above our current dividend level, with continued strong performance and modest growth in book value per share. As a result, we believe we are well-positioned to continue delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns to our shareholders."

Credit Sensitive Strategies Segment

The Credit Sensitive Strategies segment primarily includes results from PMT's organically-created GSE CRT investments, opportunistic investments in other GSE CRT, and investments in non-Agency subordinate bonds from private-label securitizations of PMT's production. Pretax income for the segment was $18.8 million on net investment income of $18.8 million, compared to pretax income of $21.8 million on net investment income of $21.9 million in the prior quarter.

Net gains on investments in the segment were $17.6 million, compared to $19.8 million in the prior quarter. These net gains included $13.7 million of gains from PMT's organically-created GSE CRT investments, $4.7 million from gains on non-Agency subordinate bonds from PMT's production, and $0.8 million of losses from other GSE CRT investments.

Net gains on PMT's organically-created CRT investments for the quarter were $13.7 million, compared to net gains of $20.3 million in the prior quarter. These net gains included $1.5 million in valuation-related gains, which reflected the impact of relatively flat credit spreads in the third quarter. The prior quarter included $7.8 million of gains due to credit spread tightening. Net gains on PMT's organically-created CRT investments also included $13.5 million in realized gains and carry, compared to $13.6 million in the prior quarter. Realized losses during the quarter were $1.3 million, similar to levels realized in prior quarters.

Net interest income for the segment totaled $1.3 million, compared to $2.1 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $20.9 million, down from $21.0 million in the prior quarter. Interest expense totaled $19.6 million, up from $18.8 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 $32.3 million on net investment income of $56.5 million, compared to pretax loss of $4.9 million on net investment income of $20.7 million in the prior quarter.

Net loan servicing fees were $15.4 million, compared to $23.9 million in the prior quarter. Net loan servicing fees included contractually specified servicing fees of $151.4 million and $4.4 million in other fees, reduced by $89.4 million in realization of MSR cash flows, which was down from $97.8 million in the prior quarter due to lower realized and projected prepayment activity. Net loan servicing fees also included $27.0 million in fair value losses on MSRs, $27.4 million in hedging losses, and $3.3 million of MSR recapture income.

Net gains on investments for the segment were $46.5 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.

Net interest expense for the segment was $5.4 million versus $17.1 million in the prior quarter. Interest income totaled $173.8 million, up from $137.5 million in the prior quarter primarily due to a higher amount of retained investments from Agency-eligible investor loan securitizations and the addition of $876.4 of Agency floating rate MBS investments during the quarter. Interest expense totaled $179.2 million, up from $154.6 million in the prior quarter, due to higher financing balances.

Segment expenses were $24.2 million, compared to $25.6 million in the prior quarter.

Correspondent Production Segment

Under a renewed mortgage banking services agreement with PFSI, effective July 1, 2025, correspondent production volumes are now initially acquired by PFSI. However, PMT retains the right to purchase up to 100 percent of non-government correspondent loan production. After purchasing certain jumbo loans and conventional conforming loans from PFSI, PMT sells or securitizes those loans, resulting in current period income. PMT's Correspondent Production segment generated pretax income of $9.2 million in the third quarter, down from $13.7 million in the prior quarter.

PMT purchased a total of $3.3 billion in UPB of conventional conforming and jumbo loans through its fulfillment agreement that PFSI acquired from correspondent sellers, up 8 percent compared to the $3.1 billion in conventional conforming and jumbo loans that PMT retained in the prior quarter. PMT is expected to acquire all jumbo correspondent production and 15 to 25 percent of total conventional conforming correspondent production in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to its retention of 100 percent of jumbo correspondent production and 17 percent of conventional conforming correspondent production in the third quarter of 2025. Interest rate lock commitments on conventional conforming and jumbo loans for PMT's account totaled $4.4 billion, up 24 percent from the prior quarter. Additionally, PMT acquired $1.3 billion in UPB of loans from PFSI's production for inclusion in private label securitizations, up from $1.0 billion in the prior quarter.

Segment revenues were $22.9 million and included net gains on loans acquired for sale of $14.9 million, net interest income of $4.9 million, and other income of $3.2 million, which primarily consists of volume-based origination fees. Net gains on loans acquired for sale decreased $2.9 million from the prior quarter, and included gains from increased demand for private label securitization and whole loan execution for non-owner occupied and jumbo loans. Interest income was $33.1 million, down from $35.9 million in the prior quarter, and interest expense was $28.2 million, down from $30.3 million in the prior quarter.

Segment expenses were $13.7 million, up slightly from $13.1 million in the prior quarter. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate in the second quarter was 18 basis points, down from 19 basis points in 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, up from $0.7 million in the prior quarter. Corporate expenses were $14.3 million, down slightly from $14.4 million in the prior quarter, and consisted of management fees of $6.9 million and $7.4 million of remaining expenses.

Taxes

PMT recorded a tax benefit of $11.3 million, driven primarily by fair value declines on MSRs and interest rate hedges held in PMT's taxable REIT subsidiary.
