PennyMac Financial (NYSE: PFSI) Q2 2026 earnings pressured by MSR volatility
PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. reported Q2 2026 total net revenues of $496,965 thousand, up from $444,730 thousand in Q2 2025, mainly from higher gains on loans held for sale and servicing income. Total assets were $29,859,451 thousand and stockholders’ equity $4,336,886 thousand at June 30, 2026.
Despite higher revenue, Q2 2026 net income fell to $21,726 thousand from $136,463 thousand a year earlier; six‑month net income was $104,048 thousand versus $212,743 thousand. The decline reflects large negative fair‑value changes in mortgage servicing rights and hedging results, higher compensation and loan origination expenses, and increased net interest expense.
The company agreed to acquire the subservicing business of Cenlar Capital Corporation for an upfront $172.5 million in cash, plus an equity adjustment and up to $85 million of contingent consideration over three years. Cenlar’s platform serves about 100 institutional clients. Closing is expected in the second half of 2026, subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals, and may not occur.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification for interim financial information and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements and notes do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. This interim consolidated information should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
11
Table of Contents
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, income, and cash flows for the interim periods presented, but are not necessarily indicative of income that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires the Company to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results will likely differ from those estimates.
Note 3—Concentration of Risk
A portion of the Company’s activities relate to PMT. Revenues generated from PMT (generally comprised of gains on loans held for sale, loan origination and fulfillment fees, loan servicing fees, management fees, change in fair value of investment in and dividends received from PMT, and expense allocations charged to PMT) totaled
The Company maintains cash and short-term investment balances at financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. Should one or more of the financial institutions at which the Company’s deposits are maintained fail, there is no guarantee as to the extent that the Company would recover the funds deposited, whether through FDIC coverage or otherwise, or the timing of any recovery.
Note 4—Variable Interest Entities
The Company entered into securitization transactions in which PLS transfers participation certificates in its Ginnie Mae and Fannie Mae MSRs to variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that issue variable funding notes (“VFNs”) to PLS and term debt backed by the participation certificates. PLS finances the VFNs by selling them under agreements to repurchase. The Company acts as guarantor of the VFNs and term debt. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs because as the holder of the VFNs and guarantor of the VFNs and term debt, it holds the variable interests in the VIEs. Therefore, PFSI consolidates the VIEs.
For financial reporting purposes, the MSRs financed by the consolidated VIEs are included in Mortgage servicing rights at fair value, the financing of VFNs is included in Assets sold under agreements to repurchase and the term debt is included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. This financing is described in Note 14 – Short-Term Debt and Note 15 – Long-Term Debt.

Mortgage Loan Production Activities and MSR Recapture
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
The Company may sell newly originated loans to PMT under a mortgage loan purchase agreement. The Company has typically utilized the mortgage loan purchase agreement for the purpose of selling to PMT conforming balance non-government insured or guaranteed loans, as well as prime jumbo residential mortgage loans.
12
Table of Contents
Under the mortgage loan purchase agreement, PMT has the right to purchase up to 100% of the non-government insured or guaranteed loans purchased by the Company through its correspondent channel at the Company’s cost plus accrued interest, less any loan administrative fees paid to the Company by the correspondent sellers and subject to quarterly fulfillment fees as described below. The Company may hold or otherwise sell correspondent loans to other investors, or to PMT at a later date, if PMT chooses not to initially purchase such loans through the correspondent channel.
MSR Recapture Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of an MSR recapture agreement by and between the Company and PMT, if the Company refinances (recaptures) mortgage loans for which PMT holds the MSRs, the Company is generally required to transfer and pay PMT cash in an amount equal to:
| ● |
| ● |
| ● |
| ● | a recapture fee of $ |
The “recapture rate” means, during each month, the ratio of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of all refinance mortgage loans originated in such month, plus the aggregate UPB of all “preserved mortgage loans” originated in such month, to (ii) the aggregate UPB of all mortgage loans from the portfolio that PLS has determined in good faith were refinanced in such month, plus the aggregate UPB of all “preserved mortgage loans” originated in such month. For purposes of such calculation, “preserved mortgage loan” means a mortgage loan in PMT’s portfolio as to which PLS or its affiliates originated a new closed end second lien loan in a subordinate position to such mortgage loan. The Company has further agreed to allocate resources sufficient to target a recapture rate of at least
The MSR recapture agreement expires on December 31, 2029, subject to automatic renewal for an additional 18-month period unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Mortgage Banking Services Agreement
The Company has a mortgage banking services agreement with PMT. Under the mortgage banking services agreement, the Company provides PMT with certain mortgage banking services, including fulfillment and disposition-related services, for which it receives a monthly fulfillment fee. The mortgage banking services agreement was renewed and amended to provide for the Company to assume the role of initial correspondent loan purchaser, in place of PMT, effective July 1, 2025. As a result of the new structure, the sourcing fee arrangement described below no longer has any effect for commitments to purchase correspondent loans made on or after July 1, 2025.
Fulfillment Services
Pursuant to the terms of a mortgage banking services agreement, the fulfillment fees shall not exceed the following:

Sourcing Fees
PMT does not hold the Ginnie Mae approval required to issue Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and act as a servicer. Accordingly, through June 30, 2025, under the agreement, the Company purchased mortgage loans underwritten in accordance with the Ginnie Mae MBS Guide “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT at PMT’s cost less an administrative fee plus accrued interest and sourcing fee ranging from
While the Company purchased these mortgage loans “as is” and without recourse of any kind from PMT, where the Company has a claim for repurchase, indemnity or otherwise against a correspondent seller, it is entitled, at its sole expense, to pursue any such claim through or in the name of PMT.

Management Agreement
The Company has a management agreement with PMT (“Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company oversees PMT’s business affairs and for which PFSI collects a base management fee and may collect a performance incentive fee. The Management Agreement provides that:
| ● | The base management fee is calculated and collected quarterly in arrears and is equal to the sum of (i) |
| ● | The performance incentive fee is calculated and collected annually in arrears and is a specified percentage of the amount by which PMT’s “net income,” over the fiscal year and before deducting the incentive fee, exceeds certain levels of return on “common shareholders’ equity.” |
| ● | The performance incentive fee is equal to the sum of: |

For the purpose of determining the amount of the performance incentive fee:
“Net income” is defined as net income or loss attributable to PMT’s common shares of beneficial interest computed in accordance with GAAP adjusted for certain non-cash charges determined after discussions between the Company and PMT’s independent trustees and approval by a majority of PMT’s independent trustees.
“Common shareholders’ equity” is defined as “shareholders’ equity” less the average value of the Company’s preferred equity determined in accordance with GAAP.
“High watermark” is the annual adjustment that reflects the amount by which the “net income” (stated as a percentage of return on “equity”) in that year exceeds or falls short of the lesser of
Each time a performance incentive fee is earned, the high watermark returns to
The performance incentive fee may be paid in cash or a combination of cash and PMT’s common shares of beneficial interest (subject to a limit of no more than
In the event of termination of the Management Agreement between PMT and the Company, the Company may be entitled to a termination fee in certain circumstances. The termination fee is equal to three times the sum of (a) the average annual base management fee, and (b) the average annual performance incentive fee earned by the Company, in each case during the 24-month period immediately preceding the date of termination.

Expense Reimbursement
Under the Management Agreement, PMT reimburses the Company for its organizational and operating expenses, including third-party expenses, incurred on PMT’s behalf, it being understood that the Company and its affiliates shall allocate a portion of their personnel’s time to provide certain legal, tax, accounting, internal audit and investor relations services for the direct benefit of PMT. PMT is also required to pay its pro rata portion of the rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Company and its affiliates required for PMT’s and its subsidiaries’ operations.

The Company is contractually responsible for making the payments required to protect the loans’ beneficial interest holders’ interests in the properties collateralizing their loans and may be required to advance amounts in excess of insurer or guarantor reimbursement limits. Therefore, the Company provides a valuation allowance on the servicing advances for these amounts to adjust their carrying values to amounts that are expected to ultimately be recovered from the loans’ insurers, guarantors, or beneficial interest holders.

Table of Contents
The servicing advance valuation allowance is estimated based on relevant qualitative and quantitative information about past events, including historical collection and loss experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectable amounts. The provision for losses on servicing advances is included in Servicing expense in the consolidated statements of income. Servicing advances are written off when they are deemed unrecoverable.

Note 7—Fair Value
Most of the Company’s assets and certain of its liabilities are measured at or based on their fair values. The Company groups its assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observability of the significant inputs used to determine the fair values. The fair value level assigned to an asset or liability is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement. These levels are:
| ● | Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2—Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. |
| ● | Level 3— Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where observable inputs are unavailable, unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available in the circumstances. |
As a result of the difficulty in observing certain significant valuation inputs affecting “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company is required to make judgments regarding these items’ fair values. Different persons in possession of the same facts may reasonably arrive at different conclusions as to the inputs to be applied in valuing these assets and liabilities and their fair values. Such differences may result in significantly different fair value measurements. Likewise, due to the general illiquidity of some of these assets and liabilities, subsequent transactions may be at values significantly different from those reported.
The Company reclassifies its assets and liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy when the inputs required to establish fair value at a level of the fair value hierarchy are no longer readily available, requiring the use of lower-level inputs, or when the inputs required to establish fair value at a higher level of the hierarchy become available.
21
Table of Contents
Fair Value Accounting Elections
The Company identified its MSRs, its mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) and all of its non-cash financial assets to be accounted for at fair value so changes in fair value will be reflected in income as they occur and more timely reflect the results of the Company’s performance.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company remeasures its real estate acquired in settlement of loans (“REO”) based on fair value when it evaluates the properties for impairment. The Company evaluates its REO for impairment with reference to the property’s fair value less cost to sell. REO may be revalued after acquisition if the Company obtains greater access to the property, holds the property for an extended period, or receives indications that the property’s fair value no longer supported by developing market conditions. Any subsequent change in fair value to a level that is less than or equal to the property’s cost is recognized in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
The Company carries certain of its private investments in closely-held entities at their cost basis because such entities are nonpublic and do not have readily observable fair values for their outstanding equity. Such holdings are carried at cost adjusted for impairment and observed price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, one of the Company’s investees issued additional private equity that provided an indication of fair value of its shares. During the quarter ended June 30, 2026, a portion of a warrant issued to the Company by that investee also vested. Accordingly, the Company recognized the change in fair value of its investment. Fair value was estimated using an option pricing method based on the implied valuation from the private equity issuance. Key inputs included time-to-liquidity, equity volatility, a risk-free discount rate and a discount for lack of marketability.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Carried at Amortized Cost
The Company’s Assets sold under agreements to repurchase, Mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and Unsecured senior notes are carried at amortized cost.
These liabilities are classified as “Level 3” fair value items due to the Company’s reliance on unobservable inputs to estimate their fair values. The Company has concluded that the fair values of these liabilities other than the term notes and term loans included in the Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes approximate their carrying values due to their short terms and/or variable interest rates.
The Company estimates the fair value of the term notes and term loans included in Notes payable secured by mortgage servicing assets and the Unsecured senior notes using indications of fair value provided by non-affiliate brokers, pricing services and internal estimates of fair value. The fair value and carrying value of these liabilities are summarized below:

Valuation Governance
Most of the Company’s financial assets, and all of its derivatives, MSRs, and MSLs are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in current period income. Certain of the Company’s financial assets and derivatives and all of its MSRs and MSLs are “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities which require use of unobservable inputs that are significant to the estimation of the items’ fair values. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own judgments about the factors that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, and are based on the best information available under the circumstances.
Due to the difficulty in estimating the fair values of “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, the Company has assigned responsibility for estimating the fair values of these assets and liabilities to specialized staff within its capital markets group and subjects the valuation process to significant senior management oversight.
With respect to “Level 3” valuations other than IRLCs, the capital markets valuation staff reports to the Company’s senior management valuation subcommittee, which oversees the valuations. The capital markets valuation staff monitors the models used for valuation of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including the models’ performance versus actual results, and reports those results as well as changes in the valuation of the non-IRLC

Table of Contents
“Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities, including major factors affecting the valuations and any changes in model methods and inputs, to the Company’s senior management valuation subcommittee. The Company’s senior management valuation subcommittee includes the Company’s chief financial, credit, investment and capital markets officers as well as other senior members of the Company’s finance, risk management and capital markets staffs.
To assess the reasonableness of its valuations, the capital markets valuation staff presents an analysis of the effect on the valuations of changes to the significant inputs to the models and, for MSRs, comparisons of its estimates of fair value and key inputs to those procured from non-affiliate brokers and published surveys.
The fair value of the Company’s IRLCs is developed by its capital markets risk management staff and is reviewed by its capital markets operations staff.
Valuation Techniques and Inputs
Following is a description of the techniques and inputs used in estimating the fair values of “Level 2” and “Level 3” fair value assets and liabilities:
Principal-Only Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities
The Company categorizes principal-only stripped MBS as “Level 2” fair value financial instruments. Fair values of these securities are established based on quoted market prices for these or similar securities.
Loans Held for Sale
Most of the Company’s loans held for sale at fair value are saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 2” fair value assets. The fair values of “Level 2” fair value loans are determined using their contracted selling prices or quoted market prices or market price equivalents.
Certain of the Company’s loans held for sale are not saleable into active markets and are therefore categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. Loans held for sale categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets include:
| ● | Closed-end second lien mortgage loans. At present, there is no active market with significant observable inputs to the estimation of fair value of the closed-end second lien mortgage loans the Company produces. |
| ● | Early buy out loans. Early buy out loans are government guaranteed or insured loans purchased by the Company from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securities in its loan servicing portfolio. The Company’s right to purchase a government guaranteed or insured loan from a Ginnie Mae security arises as the result of the loan being at least three months delinquent on the date of purchase by the Company and provides an alternative to the Company’s obligation to continue advancing principal and interest at the coupon rate of the related Ginnie Mae security. Such a loan may be resold to an investor and thereafter may be repurchased to the extent it becomes eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae guaranteed security. |
A loan becomes eligible for resale into a new Ginnie Mae guaranteed security when the loan becomes current either through completion of a modification of the loan’s terms or after three months of timely payments following either the completion of a payment deferral program or borrower reperformance and when the issuance date of the new security is at least 120 days after the date the loan was last delinquent.
| ● | Loans with identified defects. Loans that are not saleable into active markets due to identification of a defect by the Company or to the repurchase by the Company of a loan with an identified defect. |
The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s “Level 3” fair value loans held for sale are discount rates, home price projections, voluntary prepayment/resale and total prepayment/resale speeds. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the loans’ fair value measurement. Increases in home price projections are generally accompanied by an increase in voluntary prepayment speeds.

| (1) | Weighted average inputs are based on the fair values of the “Level 3” fair value loans. |
| (2) | Voluntary prepayment/resale speed is measured using life voluntary Conditional Prepayment Rate (“CPR”). |
| (3) | Total prepayment/resale speed is measured using life total CPR, which includes both voluntary and involuntary prepayment/resale speeds. |
Changes in fair value of loans held for sale attributable to changes in a loan’s instrument-specific credit risk are measured with reference to the change in the respective loan’s delinquency status and performance history at period end from the later of the beginning of the period or acquisition date. Changes in fair value of loans held for sale are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
The Company categorizes IRLCs as “Level 3” fair value assets or liabilities. The Company estimates the fair values of IRLCs based on quoted Agency MBS prices, its estimate of the fair value of the MSRs it expects to receive in the sale of the loans and its estimate of the probability that the loans will be funded or purchased (the “pull-through rate”).
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs are the pull-through rate and the estimated fair values of MSRs attributable to the mortgage loans it has committed to originate or purchase. Significant changes in the pull-through rate or the MSR components of the IRLCs, in isolation, could result in significant changes in the IRLCs’ fair value measurements. The financial effects of changes in these inputs are generally inversely correlated as increasing interest rates have a positive effect on the fair value of the MSR component of IRLC fair value, but increase the pull-through rate for the loan principal and interest payment cash flow component, which has decreased in fair value. Changes in fair value of IRLCs are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Hedging Derivatives
Fair values of derivative financial instruments actively traded on exchanges are categorized by the Company as “Level 1” fair value assets and liabilities; fair values of derivative financial instruments based on observable interest rates, volatilities and prices in the MBS or other markets are categorized by the Company as “Level 2” fair value assets and liabilities.
Changes in the fair values of hedging derivatives are included in Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value, or Net loan servicing fees—Owned servicing—Mortgage servicing rights hedging results, as applicable, in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
MSRs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value assets. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSRs. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company enhanced its discounted cash flow approach to estimate the period-end fair value of its MSRs with the adoption of an Option-Adjusted Spread (“OAS”) model. The OAS model allows the Company to account for the likelihood of interest rates moving along different paths as economic conditions change in its assessment of the fair value of MSRs as opposed to a single assumed rate path.
The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSRs include the applicable prepayment rate (prepayment speed), OAS or pricing spread (the OAS and pricing spread are components of the discount rate), and annual per-loan cost to service the underlying loans, all of which are unobservable. Significant changes to any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significant change in the MSR fair value measurement. Changes in these key inputs are not directly related. Changes in the fair value of MSRs are included in Net loan servicing fees—Owned servicing— Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Mortgage Servicing Liabilities
MSLs are categorized as “Level 3” fair value liabilities. The Company uses a discounted cash flow approach to estimate the fair value of MSLs. The key inputs used in the estimation of the fair value of MSLs include the applicable annual total prepayment speed, OAS, and the per-loan annual cost of servicing the underlying loans. Beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company enhanced its period-end discounted cash flow valuation of MSLs by utilizing an OAS model, which utilizes an OAS rather than a pricing spread. Changes in the fair value of MSLs are included in Net servicing fees— Owned servicing—Change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights and mortgage servicing liabilities in the consolidated statements of income.

Real Estate Acquired in Settlement of Loans
REO is categorized as a “Level 3” fair value asset. Fair value of REO is established by using a current estimate of fair value from either the price given in a pending contract of sale, a full appraisal or a broker’s price opinion.
REO fair values are reviewed by PLS staff appraisers when the Company obtains multiple indications of fair value and there is a significant difference between the indications of fair value. PLS staff appraisers will attempt to resolve the difference between the indications of fair value. In circumstances where the staff appraisers are not able to generate adequate data to support a fair value conclusion, the staff appraisers obtain an additional appraisal to establish fair value. Recognized changes in the fair value of REO are included in Results of real estate acquired in settlement of loans in the consolidated statements of income.

Note 10—Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company holds and issues derivative financial instruments in connection with its operating and investing activities. Derivative financial instruments are created in the Company’s loan production activities and when the Company enters into derivative transactions as part of its interest rate risk management activities:
| ● | Derivative financial instruments created in the Company’s loan production activities are IRLCs that are created when the Company commits to purchase or originate a loan for sale. |
| ● | The Company engages in interest rate risk management activities in an effort to moderate the effect of changes in market interest rates on the fair value of certain of its assets. To manage this fair value risk resulting from interest rate risk, the Company uses derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of reducing the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of the Company’s IRLCs, inventory of loans held for sale and its MSRs. |
The Company does not designate and qualify any of its derivatives for hedge accounting. The Company records all derivative financial instruments at fair value and records changes in fair value in current period income.
The Company has elected to present net derivative asset and liability positions, and cash collateral obtained from or posted to its counterparties when subject to a master netting arrangement that is legally enforceable on all counterparties in the event of default. The derivatives that are not subject to a master netting arrangement are IRLCs.

Note 14—Short-Term Debt
The borrowing facilities described throughout these Notes 14 and 15 contain various covenants, including financial covenants governing the Company’s net worth, debt-to-equity ratio and liquidity. Management believes that the Company was in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2026.
Assets Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase
The Company has multiple borrowing facilities in the form of asset sales under agreements to repurchase. These borrowing facilities are secured by principal-only stripped MBS, loans held for sale, participation certificates backed by mortgage servicing assets and margin deposits. Eligible assets are sold at advance rates based on the fair value (as determined by the lender) of the assets sold. Interest is charged at a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Principal-only stripped MBS, loans, mortgage servicing assets and participation certificates backed by mortgage servicing assets financed under these agreements may be re-pledged by the lenders.

Unsecured Senior Notes
The Company has issued unsecured senior notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Unsecured Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinate indebtedness of the Company, equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and effectively subordinate to any existing and future secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the fair value of collateral securing such indebtedness.
The Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries defined in the indenture under which the Unsecured Notes were issued). The guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the guarantors and will rank senior in right of payment to any future subordinate indebtedness of the guarantors, equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantors and effectively subordinate to any existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors to the extent of the fair value of collateral securing such indebtedness. The Unsecured Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinate to the indebtedness and liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Unsecured Notes.

Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, assuming all dilutive securities were issued.
The Company’s potentially dilutive securities are stock-based compensation awards. The Company applies the treasury stock method to determine the diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding based on the outstanding stock-based compensation awards.
The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the words “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to PFSI and its subsidiaries.
Our Company
We are a specialty financial services firm primarily focused on the production and servicing of U.S. residential mortgage loans (activities which we refer to as mortgage banking) and the management of investments related to the U.S. mortgage market. We believe that our operating capabilities, specialized expertise, access to long-term investment capital, and the experience of our management team across all aspects of the mortgage business allow us to profitably engage in mortgage banking and investing activities and capitalize on other related opportunities as they arise in the future.
Our primary assets are equity interests in Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (“PNMAC”). We are the managing member of PNMAC, and we operate and control all of the businesses and affairs of PNMAC, and consolidate the financial results of PNMAC and its subsidiaries. We conduct our business in two segments: production and servicing:
| ● | The production segment performs loan origination, acquisition and sale activities. |
| ● | The servicing segment performs loan servicing for both newly originated loans we are holding for sale and loans we service for others, including for PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust, a mortgage real estate investment trust separately listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PMT”. |
Our principal mortgage banking subsidiary, PennyMac Loan Services, LLC (“PLS”), is a non-bank producer and servicer of mortgage loans in the United States. PLS is a seller/servicer for the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), each of which is a government sponsored entity. PLS is also an approved issuer of securities guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), a lender of the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), and a lender/servicer of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). We refer to each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA and USDA as an “Agency” and collectively as the “Agencies.” PLS is able to service loans in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and originate loans in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, either because PLS is properly licensed in a particular jurisdiction or exempt or otherwise not required to be licensed in that jurisdiction.
Our investment management subsidiary is Pennymac Capital Management, LLC (“PCM”), a Delaware limited liability company registered with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. PCM has an investment management contract with PMT.

Business Trends
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.
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.
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.

| calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. |
We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income plus provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, excluding decrease (increase) in fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) net of mortgage servicing liabilities (“MSLs”) due to changes in the valuation inputs we use in our valuation models, hedging (gains) losses associated with MSRs, principal-only stripped mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) valuation-related accretion changes, provision for (reversal of) losses on active loans, stock-based compensation, interest expense on corporate debt or corporate revolving credit facilities and capital lease and certain unusual or non-recurring items.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. However, other companies may define Adjusted EBITDA differently, and as a result, our measures of Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
| a) | they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
| b) | they do not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt; and |
| c) | they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows. |
Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA measures are not intended as alternatives to net income as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, for the periods indicated:

Income Before Provisions for Income Taxes
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, income before income taxes decreased $44.9 million compared to the same quarter in 2025. The decrease was primarily due to increases in compensation expense of $35.3 million, origination expense of $25.0 million, servicing expense of $14.2 million and other expense of $16.0 million, partially offset by a $55.3 million increase in loan production revenue due to higher volume in the broker and consumer direct channels and a $12.1 million increase in other income.
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.
Net Gains on Loans Held for Sale at Fair Value
In our production segment, revenues reflect the effects of larger mortgage market volumes and increased share in our broker and consumer direct lending channels during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $280.3 million and $625.3 million, respectively, representing an increase of $45.7 million and $169.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025.

Non-Cash Elements of Gain on Sale of Loans Held for Sale
Our gains on loans held for sale include both cash and non-cash elements. We recognize a significant portion of our gains on loans held for sale when we make commitments to purchase or fund mortgage loans. Therefore, we recognize a substantial portion of our net gains before we fund or purchase the loans. We recognize this gain in the form of interest rate lock commitment (“IRLC”) derivatives. We adjust our initial gain amount as the loan purchase or origination process progresses until the loan is either funded or cancelled.
We also receive non-cash proceeds on sale that include our estimate of the fair value of MSRs and we incur MSLs (which represent the fair value of the costs we expect to incur in excess of the fees we receive for delinquent loans we have bought out of Ginnie Mae guaranteed securities and have resold to and service for investors) and we recognize the fair value of our estimate of the losses we expect to incur relating to the representations and warranties we provide in our loan sale transactions.
The MSRs, MSLs, and liabilities for representations and warranties we recognize represent our estimate of the fair value of future benefits and costs we will realize for years in the future. These estimates represented approximately 231% and 218% of our gains on sales of loans held for sale at fair value for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to 346% and 321% for the same periods in 2025. These estimates change as circumstances change and changes in these estimates are recognized in income in subsequent periods. Subsequent changes in the fair value of our MSRs may significantly affect our income.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments, Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities
The methods and key inputs we use to measure and update our measurements of IRLCs, MSRs and MSLs are detailed in Note 7 – Fair Value – Valuation Techniques and Inputs to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Representations and Warranties
Our agreements with purchasers and insurers include representations and warranties related to the loans we sell. The representations and warranties require adherence to purchaser and insurer origination and underwriting guidelines, including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.
In the event of a breach of our representations and warranties, we may be required to either repurchase the loans with the identified defects or indemnify the purchaser or insurer. In such cases, we bear any subsequent credit loss on the loans. Our credit loss may be reduced by any recourse we have to correspondent originators that sold such loans to us and breached similar or other representations and warranties. In such event, we have the right to seek a recovery of related repurchase losses from that correspondent seller.
Our representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits of exposure. However, we believe that the current unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of loans sold by us and subject to representation and warranty liability to date represents the maximum exposure to repurchases related to representations and warranties.
The level of the liability for losses under representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, purchaser or insurer loss mitigation strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. Our estimate of the liability for representations and warranties is developed by our credit risk administration staff and reviewed by our Management Risk Committee that includes our senior executives and senior management in our loan production, loan servicing, and credit risk management areas.
The method used to estimate our losses on representations and warranties is a function of our estimate of future defaults, loan repurchase rates, the severity of loss in the event of default, if applicable, and the probability of reimbursement by the correspondent loan seller. We establish a liability at the time loans are sold and periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded liability.

Table of Contents
We recorded provisions for losses under representations and warranties relating to current loan sales as a component of Net gains on loans held for sale at fair value totaling $5.8 million and $10.3 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $4.1 million and $7.6 million for the same periods in 2025. The increases in the provision relating to current loan sales was primarily attributable to a change in the mix of loans sold for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025
We also recorded reductions in the liability of $3.7 million and $6.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to $2.2 million and $3.6 million for the same periods in 2025. The reductions in the liability resulted from previously sold loans meeting performance criteria established by the Agencies which significantly limit the likelihood of certain repurchase or indemnification claims.

Liability for representations and warranties | | | | | | | | $ | 37,291 | | $ | 31,763 |
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, we repurchased loans totaling $31.5 million and $56.4 million, respectively. We charged losses of $659,000 and $1.2 million against the liability during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Our losses arising from representations and warranties have historically been minimized by our ability to either recover most of the losses from our correspondent sellers or from our ability to profitably refinance and resell repurchased loans.
Elevated interest rate levels may affect certain of our correspondent sellers’ ability to honor their obligations to repurchase defective loans, may increase the level of borrower defaults and may increase the level of repurchases we are required to make. We expect these developments may increase the losses we incur in relation to our recorded liability for representations and warranties compared to our historical experience. However, we believe our recorded liability is presently adequate to absorb such losses.
Loan Origination Fees
Loan origination fees increased $10.4 million and $36.2 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to an increase in production volumes in the broker and consumer direct lending channels.

Fulfillment Fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust
Fulfillment fees from PMT represent fees we collect for services we perform on behalf of PMT in connection with the acquisition, packaging, sale and securitization of loans. The fulfillment fees are calculated based on the number of loans we fulfill for PMT and an increase in the number of loans included in PMT’s non-Agency securitization and loan sales.
Fulfillment fees decreased $791,000 and $344,000 during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025; the decrease was primarily due to a decrease in correspondent loan production volumes for PMT’s account.

Loan servicing fees from non-affiliates generally relate to our MSRs which are primarily related to servicing we provide for loans included in Agency securitizations. These fees are contractually established at an annualized percentage of the UPB of the loan serviced and we collect these fees from borrower payments. Loan servicing fees from PMT are primarily related to PMT’s MSRs and are established at monthly per-loan amounts based on whether the loan is a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate loan and the loan’s delinquency or foreclosure status as detailed in Note 5–Transactions with Related Parties to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Subservicing fees from non-affiliates are based upon rates negotiated between the Company and the owner of the servicing rights at the time a subservicing agreement is entered into. Other loan servicing fees are comprised primarily of borrower-contracted fees such as late charges and reconveyance fees.
68
Table of Contents
Loan servicing fees from non-affiliates increased during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025. The increases were primarily due to growth of our loan servicing portfolio. Other servicing fees decreased primarily due to decreased incentives received for loss mitigation activities.
Effects of Mortgage Servicing Rights and Mortgage Servicing Liabilities
We have elected to carry our servicing assets and liabilities at fair value. Changes in fair value have two components: changes due to realization of cash flows of the MSRs and MSLs and changes due to changes in market inputs used to estimate the fair value of MSRs and MSLs. We endeavor to moderate the effects of changes in fair value arising from changes in market inputs by entering into derivatives transactions and holding principal-only stripped MBS.
Change in fair value of MSRs and MSLs and the related hedging results are summarized below:

Changes in fair value of MSRs attributable to changes in fair value inputs increased during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in 2025 due to increases in interest rates during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to flat to decreasing interest rates during the same periods in 2025. Increasing interest rates reduce the rate of prepayments of the underlying loans, which increases the cash flows expected from the servicing rights, while decreasing interest rates have the opposite effect.
Hedging results reflect valuation losses offsetting the valuation gains from increasing interest rates in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 and in the same periods in 2025.
Changes in fair value attributable to realization of cash flows are influenced by changes in the level of servicing assets and liabilities and changes in estimates of the remaining cash flows to be realized. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, realization of cash flows increased compared to the same periods in 2025, primarily due to higher prepayment speeds in the 2026 periods and the growth in our investment in MSRs.

Net interest expense increased $10.6 million and $33.9 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increases were primarily due to an increase in interest expense on borrowings attributable to the Company financing a larger investment in MSRs and increased interest shortfalls on repayments of loans serviced for Agency securitizations during 2026, partially offset by an increase in interest income from loans held for sale and placement fees.
Management Fees from PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust
Management fees decreased $59,000 and $309,000 during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, due to decreases in PMT’s average shareholders’ equity which is the basis for the base management fees.

Table of Contents
Compensation expenses increased $35.2 million and $69.7 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increases were primarily due to an increase in head count and increased incentive compensation reflecting higher loan production volume.
Loan Origination
Loan origination expenses increased $25.0 million and $60.6 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increases were primarily due to higher origination volumes in the broker and consumer direct lending channels.
Technology
Technology expenses increased $2.2 million and $8.1 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increases were primarily due to an increase in software license expenses and a $1.2 million and $1.5 million impairment of capitalized software recorded during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.
Servicing
Servicing expenses increased $14.2 million and $30.6 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases in provision for losses on servicing advances resulting from higher delinquent loan balances reflecting a larger servicing portfolio and a larger proportion of delinquencies of 90 days or greater.
Marketing and advertising
Marketing and advertising expenses increased $4.5 million and $16.2 million during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increases were primarily due to additional marketing expenses incurred as an Official Supporter of Team USA, including marketing during the 2026 winter Olympics.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates were 31.1% and (78.5)% for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 23.6% and (17.8)% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rates for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods ended in 2025 is primarily due the non-recurrence of a $81.6 million net income tax benefit recognized in the prior year period, due to the repricing of deferred tax liabilities resulting from changes to California’s apportionment rules enacted into law in June 2025 requiring the Company to apportion income to California using a single sales factor instead of a factor equally weighted among property, payroll and sales.

Total assets increased $470.8 million from $29.4 billion at December 31, 2025 to $29.9 billion at June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $987.9 million of mortgage servicing rights and an increase of $880.9 million of loans eligible for repurchase, partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 billion in loans held for sale at fair value.
Total liabilities increased $442.9 million from $25.1 billion at December 31, 2025 to $25.5 billion at June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $880.9 million in liability for loans eligible for repurchase, partially offset by a decrease of $358.8 million in short-term borrowings due to a decrease in loans held for sale. As a result of our decreased inventory financing requirements, our leverage ratios slightly decreased during the period ended June 30, 2026 from December 31, 2025.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $801.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $934.6 million during the same period in 2025. Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by changes in the levels of our inventory of mortgage loans held for sale as shown below:

| | $ | 801,097 | | $ | 934,642 |
The decrease in cash flows from other operating sources was primarily driven by an increase in servicing advances and the payment of several large accrued liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025
Investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026 totaled $533.6 million, primarily due to $262.9 million in net settlement of derivative financial instruments used to hedge our investment in MSRs, a $229.8 million increase in margin deposit and a $124.3 million increase in short-term investment. Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $127.0 million, primarily due to a $140.7 million increase in margin deposits.
Financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $354.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to a decrease of $261.7 million in borrowings and a $50.0 million repurchase of common shares. The decrease in borrowings primarily reflects the decrease in inventory of loans held for sale. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $883.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $811.5 million in borrowings. The decrease in borrowings primarily reflects the decrease in inventory of loans held for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations (including our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of, and margin calls relating to, our debt, and margin calls relating to hedges on our commitments to purchase or originate mortgage loans and on our MSR investments), fund new originations and purchases, and make investments as we identify them. We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be through cash flows from business activities, proceeds from bank borrowings and proceeds from and issuance of equity or debt offerings. We believe that our capital resources are sufficient to meet our current liquidity requirements.
Our current borrowing strategy is to finance our assets where we believe such borrowing is prudent, appropriate and available. Our primary borrowing activities are in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase, sales of mortgage loan participation purchase and sale certificates, notes payable secured by mortgage servicing rights and unsecured senior notes. A significant amount of our borrowings have short-term maturities and provide for advances with terms ranging from 30 days to 364 days. Because a significant portion of our current debt facilities consist of short-term debt, we expect to renew these facilities in advance of maturity in order to ensure our ongoing liquidity and access to capital or otherwise allow ourselves sufficient time to replace any necessary financing.
Secured debt facilities for MSRs and servicing advances take various forms. Fannie Mae MSRs, Ginnie Mae MSRs and servicing advances may be pledged to special purpose entities, each of which may issue variable funding notes (“VFNs”) and term notes and term loans that are secured by such Ginnie Mae or Fannie Mae assets. Term notes are issued to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act and term loans are syndicated to banking entities, while the VFNs are sold to bank partners under agreements to repurchase. Freddie Mac MSRs are pledged to lenders under a bi-lateral loan and security agreement.
On May 27, 2026, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries PNMAC, PLS and the Issuer Trust, issued $300 million in Term Notes with a spread of 2.25% due in May 2031 and partially redeemed $300 million Term Notes in with a spread of 3.20% due in March 2029.
Our repurchase agreements represent the sales of assets together with agreements for us to buy back the respective assets at a later date. The table below presents the average, maximum daily and ending balances:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter ended June 30, | | Six months ended June 30, |
| ||||||||
| | 2026 | | 2025 | | 2026 | | 2025 | | ||||

Average balance | | $ | 9,378,290 | | $ | 7,183,987 | | $ | 8,679,015 | | $ | 6,649,802 | |
Maximum daily balance | | $ | 10,648,718 | | $ | 8,581,781 | | $ | 10,648,718 | | $ | 8,690,936 | |
Balance at period end | | | | | | | | $ | 8,440,064 | | $ | 7,351,846 | |
The differences between the average and maximum daily balances on our repurchase agreements reflect both the effect of increasing loan inventory levels during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and the fluctuations throughout the periods of our inventory as we fund and pool mortgage loans for sale in guaranteed mortgage securitizations.
Our repurchase agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender at its option, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit will generally result from any decrease in the market value (as determined by the applicable lender) of the assets subject to the related financing agreement. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.
Our secured financing agreements at PLS require us to comply with various financial and other restrictive covenants. The most significant financial covenants currently include the following:
| ● | a minimum in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $100 million; |
| ● | a minimum tangible net worth of $1.25 billion; |
75
Table of Contents
| ● | a maximum ratio of total indebtedness to tangible net worth of 10:1; and |
| ● | at least one other warehouse or repurchase facility that finances amounts and assets that are similar to those being financed under certain of our existing secured financing agreements. |
With respect to servicing performed for PMT, PLS is also subject to certain covenants under PMT’s debt agreements. Covenants in PMT’s debt agreements are equally, or sometimes less, restrictive than the covenants described above.
PFSI has issued unsecured senior notes (the “Unsecured Notes”) to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act. The Unsecured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries defined in the indentures under which the Unsecured Notes were issued).
Our Unsecured Notes’ indentures contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit the Company and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to engage in specified types of transactions, including, but not limited to the following:
| ● | pay dividends or distributions, redeem or repurchase equity, prepay subordinated debt and make certain loans or investments; |
| ● | incur, assume or guarantee additional debt or issue preferred stock; |
| ● | incur liens on assets; |
| ● | merge or consolidate with another person or sell all or substantially all of our assets to another person; |
| ● | transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets including capital stock of subsidiaries; |
| ● | enter into transactions with affiliates; and |
| ● | allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our non-guarantor restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us. |
Although financial and other covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.
We are also subject to liquidity and net worth requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) for Agency seller/servicers and Ginnie Mae for single-family issuers. FHFA and Ginnie Mae have established minimum liquidity and net worth requirements for their approved non-depository single-family sellers/servicers in the case of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae for its approved single-family issuers, and Ginnie Mae has issued risk-based capital requirements. We believe that we are in compliance with each Agency’s requirements as of June 30, 2026.
We have a common stock repurchase program which allows us to repurchase common shares of up to $2 billion. Share repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and the authorization does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of common stock. From inception through June 30, 2026, we have repurchased approximately $1.8 billion of common shares under our stock repurchase program.
We continue to explore a variety of means of financing our business, including debt financing through bank warehouse lines of credit, bank loans, repurchase agreements, securitization transactions and corporate debt. However, there can be no assurance as to how much additional financing capacity such efforts will produce, what form the financing will take or whether such efforts will be successful.

Debt Obligations
As described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we currently finance certain of our assets through short-term borrowings with major financial institutions in the form of sales of assets under agreements to repurchase and mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements. We access the capital market for long-term debt through the issuance of secured term notes, term loans and Unsecured Notes. The issuer under our secured term note facilities is PLS or a wholly-owned issuer trust guaranteed by PNMAC. In addition, PFSI has issued Unsecured Notes guaranteed by certain of its restricted wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.
PLS is required to comply with financial and other restrictive covenants in certain financing agreements, as described further above in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. As of June 30, 2026, we believe PLS was in compliance in all material respects with these covenants.
Many of our debt financing agreements contain a condition precedent to obtaining additional funding that requires PLS to maintain positive net income for at least one of the previous two consecutive quarters, or other similar measures. PLS is compliant with all such conditions.
The financing agreements also contain margin call provisions that, upon notice from the applicable lender, require us to transfer cash or, in some instances, additional assets in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. Upon notice from the applicable lender, we will generally be required to satisfy the margin call on the day of such notice or within one business day thereafter, depending on the timing of the notice.
In addition, the financing agreements contain events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, guarantor defaults, servicer termination events and defaults, material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for these types of transactions. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for these types of transactions and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the agreements and the liquidation by our lenders of the mortgage loans or other collateral then subject to the agreements.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with GAAP requires us to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain of these estimates significantly influence the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments. Our critical accounting policies primarily relate to our fair value estimates.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies, which utilize relevant critical accounting estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, real estate values and other market-based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are fair value risk, interest rate risk and prepayment risk.
Fair Value Risk
Our IRLCs, mortgage loans held for sale, principal-only stripped MBS, MSRs and MSLs are reported at their fair values. The fair value of these assets fluctuates primarily due to changes in interest rates. The fair value risk we face is primarily attributable to interest rate risk and prepayment risk.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. Changes in interest rates affect both the fair value of, and interest income we earn from, our mortgage-related investments and our derivative financial instruments. This effect is most pronounced with fixed-rate mortgage assets.
In general, rising interest rates negatively affect the fair value of our IRLCs, inventory of mortgage loans held for sale, and principal-only stripped MBS and positively affect the fair value of our MSRs. Changes in interest rates significantly influence the prepayment speeds of the loans underlying our investments in MSRs, which can have a significant effect on their fair values. Changes in interest rate are most prominently reflected in the prepayment speeds of the loans underlying our investments in MSRs and the discount rate used in their valuation.
Our operating results will depend, in part, on differences between the income from our investments and our financing costs. Presently most of our secured debt financing is based on a floating rate of interest calculated on a fixed spread over the relevant index, as determined by the particular financing arrangement.
Prepayment Risk
To the extent that the actual prepayment rate on the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs differs from what we projected when we initially recognized these assets and liabilities when we measure fair value as of the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of these assets and liabilities will be affected. In general, a decrease in the principal balances of the mortgage loans underlying our MSRs or an increase in prepayment expectations will decrease our estimates of the fair value of the MSRs, thereby reducing net servicing income, partially offset by the beneficial effect on net servicing income of a corresponding reduction in the fair value of our MSLs and an increase in the fair value of our principal-only stripped MBS.
Risk Management Activities
We engage in risk management activities primarily in an effort to mitigate the effect of changes in interest rates on the fair value of our assets. To manage this price risk, we use derivative financial instruments acquired with the intention of moderating the risk that changes in market interest rates will result in unfavorable changes in the fair value of our assets, primarily prepayment exposure on our MSR investments as well as IRLCs and our inventory of loans held for sale. Our objective is to minimize our hedging expense and maximize our loss coverage based on a given hedge expense target. We do not use derivative financial instruments other than IRLCs for purposes other than in support of our risk management activities.
Our strategies are reviewed daily within a disciplined risk management framework. We use a variety of interest rate and spread shifts and scenarios and define target limits for market value and liquidity loss in those scenarios. With respect to our IRLCs and inventory of loans held for sale, we use MBS forward sale contracts to lock in the price at which we will sell the mortgage loans or resulting MBS, and further use MBS put options to mitigate the risk of our IRLCs not closing at the rate we expect. With respect to our MSRs, we seek to mitigate mortgage-based loss exposure utilizing MBS forward purchase and sale contracts and principal-only stripped MBS, address exposures to smaller interest rate shifts with Treasury and interest rate swap futures, and use options and swaptions to achieve target coverage levels for larger interest rate shocks.

Fair Value Sensitivities
The following sensitivity analyses are limited in that they were performed at a particular point in time; only contemplate the movements in the indicated variables; do not incorporate changes to other variables; are subject to the accuracy of various models and inputs used; and do not incorporate other factors that would affect our overall financial performance in such scenarios, including operational adjustments made by management to account for changing circumstances. For these reasons, the following estimates should not be viewed as earnings forecasts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. However, no matter how well a control system is designed and operated, it can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
Our management has conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report as required by paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Report, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
