Walker & Dunlop used its Investor Day to frame a multi‑year growth plan centered on scaling debt originations, property sales, and fee-based servicing. Management is targeting total revenues above
The outlook also includes diluted and adjusted core EPS of
Because guidance relies heavily on non‑GAAP measures like adjusted EBITDA and adjusted core EPS, investors may focus on how items such as MSR income, credit provisions, and repurchase-related charges evolve in future GAAP results. Subsequent annual and quarterly filings will show whether originations, sales volumes, and margins track the 2026 and 2030 target ranges.

Exhibit 99.1
2 INVESTOR DAY 2026 Forward - Looking Statements Some of the statements contained in this presentation may constitute forward - looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward - looking statements relate to expectations, projections, plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward - looking statements by the use of forward - looking terminology such as ''may,'' ''will,'' ''should,'' ''expects,'' ''intends,'' ''plans,'' ''anticipates,'' ''believes,'' ''estimates,'' ''predicts,'' or ''potential'' or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward - looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. The forward - looking statements contained in this presentation reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed or contemplated in any forward - looking statement. While forward - looking statements reflect our good faith projections, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of fu ture results. Furthermore, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward - looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as req uir ed by applicable law. Factors that could cause our results to differ materially include, but are not limited to: (1) general economic conditions and multifamily and commercial real estate market conditions, (2) changes in interest rates, (3) regulatory and/or legislative changes to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae or HUD, (4) our ability to retain and attract loan originators and other professionals, (5) success of our various investments funded with corporate capital, (6) changes in federal government fis cal and monetary policies, including any constraints or cuts in federal funds allocated to HUD for loan originations, and (7) our obligations to repurchase or indemnify the GSEs for loans we originate under their programs, including additional charges or losses related to loans we have already repurchased or indemnified and new repurchase requests we may receive from the GSEs related to the previously identified instances of borrower fraud, additional instances of borrower fraud, or other r eas ons. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause future results to differ materially from those expressed or contemplated in any forward - looking statements, see the section titled ''Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10 - K, as it may be updated or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q and other SEC filings. Such filings are available publicly on our Investor Relations web page at www.walkerdunlop.com . Non - GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAA P”), the Company uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income, adjusted core EPS, net income excluding charges, diluted EPS excluding charges, and adjusted EBITDA excluding charges, which are non - GAAP financial measures. The presen tation of these non - GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. When analyzing our operating performan ce, readers should use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income, adjusted core EPS, diluted EPS excluding charges, and adjusted EBITDA excluding charges, in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income and diluted EPS. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest expense on our corporate debt, and amortization and depre cia tion, adjusted for provision (benefit) for credit losses, net write - offs based on the final resolution of the defaulted loans or collateral, loan repurchase losses, stock - based compensation, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net, the write - off of the unamortized balance of deferred issuance costs associated with the repayment of a portion of our corporate debt, goodwill impairment, and contingent consideration liability fair value adjustments when the fair value adjust men t is a triggering event for a goodwill impairment assessment. Adjusted core net income and adjusted core EPS represent net income adjusted for amortization and depreciation, provision (be nef it) for credit losses, net write - offs based on the final resolution of the defaulted loans or collateral, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net, the income statement impact from periodic revaluation and accretion associated w ith contingent consideration liabilities related to acquired companies, goodwill impairment, and other adjustments. Net income excluding charges and diluted EPS excluding charges represent net income excluding indemnified and repurchased loa n e xpenses and asset impairments and other expenses. Adjusted EBITDA excluding charges represents net income before income taxes, interest expense on our corporate debt, and amor tiz ation and depreciation, adjusted for provision (benefit) for credit losses, net write - offs based on the final resolution of the defaulted loans or collateral, loan repurchase losses, stock - based compensation, the fair value of expected net cash flows f rom servicing, net, goodwill impairment, contingent consideration liability fair value adjustments when the fair value adjustment is a triggering event for a goodwill impairment assessment, indemnified and repurchased loan expenses, and asset i mpa irments and other expenses. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of its forward - looking non - GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjuste d Core EPS, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss) and EPS, without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBIT DA and Adjusted Core EPS, including, but not limited to, the impact of non - cash share - based compensation expense, acquisition - related costs, restructuring charges, gains or losses on asset sales, and other non - recurring or unusual items. The timing, magn itude, and impact of these items are uncertain and could be material to the Company's results computed in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, a reconciliation of this forward - looking non - GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.
3 INVESTOR DAY 2026 Non - GAAP Financial Measures (continued) Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it doe s not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for adjusted EBITDA may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non - cash charges that a re used to determine compliance with financial covenants. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted co re net income and adjusted core EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income, adjusted core EPS, net income excluding charges, diluted EPS excluding char ges , and adjusted EBITDA excluding charges, t o evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. We believe that these non - GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information, provide useful information to investors by offering: the ability to make more meaningful period - to - period comparisons of the Company's on - going operating results; the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying business and perform related trend analyses; and a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business. We believe that these non - GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these non - GAAP financial measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information . For more information on adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income, adjusted core EPS, net income excluding charges, diluted EPS excluding charges, and adjusted EBITDA excluding charges, refer to the Appendix in this presentation .
