UWM Holdings (NYSE:UWMC) stock climbed 5.4% in Wednesday premarket trading after the mortgage wholesaler turned in better-than-expected Q2 revenue and its results rebounded to a profit compared with a loss in the prior quarter.
The company expects Q3 loan production of $26B-$33B with gain margin of 75-100 basis points; that compares with Q2 loan origination of $31.8B and gain margin of 88 bps.
Q2 revenue of $587.5M, vs. the $484.0M consensus, rose from $161.3M in Q1 and $564.2M in the year-ago quarter. In Q2 2023, revenue included a change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) that increased revenue by $24.6M. That compared with a $337.8M reduction in MSR fair value in Q1 and a $236.2M increase in Q2 2022.
Q2 adjusted net income of $176.0M vs. -$106.8M in Q1 and $164.3M in Q2 2022. Adjusted EPS of $0.08, shy of the average analyst estimate of $0.10, compared with -$0.07 in the prior quarter and $0.10 a year ago.
“Despite a historic decline in industry-wide origination volume during 2023, UWM remains profitable,” said Chairman and CEO Mat Ishbia. “Other management teams seem to have forgotten that during a mortgage boom, the majority of the opportunity is in the first six months.”
Q2 originations of $31.8B, compared with its guidance of $23B-$30B, rose from $22.3B in the prior quarter and $29.9B in the year-ago period.
Total gain margin was 88 bps vs. 92 bps in Q1 and 99 bps in the Q2 2022.
Q2 adjusted EBITDA of $125.4M fell from $141.0M in Q1 and rose from $95.0M in Q2 2022.
Conference call at 10:30 AM ET.
