Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Results

Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: IMH) (the “Company” or “we”) announces its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

For the second quarter of 2022, the Company reported a net (loss) of $(13.5) million, or $(0.64) per diluted common share, and an adjusted (loss) of $(15.4) million or $(0.71) per diluted common share, as compared to a net (loss) of $(8.9) million, or $(0.42) per diluted common share, and an adjusted (loss) of $(6.9) million, or $(0.32) per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted earnings (loss) is not considered an accounting principle generally accepted in the United States of America (“non-GAAP”). Adjusted earnings (loss) is a financial measurement calculated by adjusting GAAP earnings before tax to exclude certain non-cash items, such as fair value adjustments and mark-to-market of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), and legacy non-recurring expenses. The Company believes adjusted earnings (loss) more accurately reflects the Company’s current business operations of mortgage originations. Adjusted earnings (loss) adjusts GAAP operating income by excluding non-cash items that fluctuate due to market rates, inputs or assumptions rather than management’s determination of fundamental operating income (loss) that reflects the Company’s current business operations. See the discussion and reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings (loss) further below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased to $13.5 million as compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The quarter over quarter increase in net loss was primarily due to a $10.5 million decrease in gain on sale of loans, net, partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in operating expenses and a $886 thousand increase in other income. The sharp and unexpected decline in gain on sale of loans, net reflects the intense pressure on mortgage originations due to the dramatic collapse of the mortgage refinance market and the weakening mortgage purchase market, which has suffered from a lack of housing inventory and significant increase in mortgage interest rates resulting in customer affordability issues. As previously discussed, the increase in interest rates, which began in the fourth quarter of 2021, caused a significant increase in credit spreads, which accelerated into the second quarter of 2022, resulting in a substantial over supply of low coupon originations causing a severe decline in margins and diminishing capital market distribution exits for originators, including the Company, reliant upon an aggregation execution model. To mitigate the risks associated with reduced distribution exits and extended settlement timelines, we began to pull back on production, significantly increasing the pricing on our loan products as well as completely shifting to best-efforts delivery for non-agency production in the first quarter of 2022. As a result, origination volumes decreased significantly during the second quarter of 2022. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we originated and sold $128.1 million and $248.2 million of mortgage loans, respectively, as compared to $611.5 million and $667.8 million of loans originated and sold, respectively, during the same period in 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, margins were 14 bps as compared to 175 bps during the same period in 2021.

Offsetting the increase in net loss was an increase in other income of $886 thousand as a result of a $2.1 million reduction in trust losses as a result of the sale of legacy securitization portfolio during the first quarter of 2022 and a $563 thousand increase in fair value of our long-term debt, partially offset by a $1.8 million reduction in net interest income as a result of the aforementioned sale of the legacy securitization portfolio during the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, operating expenses were lower during the second quarter of 2022 due to a reduction in variable compensation commensurate with reduced originations as well as a reduction in headcount to support reduced volume.

Total expenses decreased by $5.0 million, or 25%, to $14.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $19.6 million for the comparable period in 2021. Personnel expense decreased $3.9 million to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in personnel expense was primarily related to a reduction in variable compensation commensurate with reduced originations during the second quarter of 2022 as well as reductions in headcount to support reduced volume as compared to 2021. As a result, average headcount decreased 30% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Although personnel expense decreased in the mortgage lending segment during the second quarter of 2022, it increased to 626 bps of fundings as compared to 196 bps for the comparable 2021 period, as a result of our pull back in originations.

Business promotion expense decreased $451 thousand to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $1.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Business promotion previously remained relatively low as a result of the favorable interest rate environment requiring significantly less business promotion to source leads. Beginning in second quarter of 2021, we began to increase our marketing expenditures in an effort to more directly target NonQM production in the retail channel, expand production expansion outside of California and maintain our lead volume as competition increased. As a result of the recent dislocation within the NonQM market on account of the significant increase in interest rates, in the second quarter of 2022, we reduced our marketing spend as we pulled back on our origination volumes to mitigate the aforementioned risks associated with the current environment. Although we continue to source leads through digital campaigns, which allows for a more cost-effective approach, the recent competitiveness among other lenders for NonQM production within the California market has driven up advertising costs.

General, administrative and other expenses decreased $559 thousand to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $5.9 million for the comparable period in 2021, as a result of a $363 thousand decrease in professional fees, data processing, and general administrative and other expense all related to a reduction in fundings during the period. Additionally, legal fees decreased $310 thousand associated with a decrease in litigation and related expenses. Partially offsetting the decline in general, administrative and other expenses was a $114 thousand increase in occupancy expense as we recognized right of use (ROU) asset impairment of $123 thousand related to the sublease of approximately 29,000 square feet of a floor within our corporate office.

During the second quarter of 2022, total originations were $128.1 million as compared to $482.1 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $611.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in originations as compared to the first quarter of 2022, was due to the significant increase in interest rates which began in the fourth quarter of 2021, resulting in a reduction in purchase loans due to a decrease in home purchase affordability and in refinance volume due to the number of loans that had previously refinanced during the preceding historically low interest rate environment. While we began to shift our origination focus away from more rate and margin sensitive conventional originations during the first quarter of 2021, the increase in interest rates which began in the fourth quarter of 2021 and has accelerated through the second quarter of 2022, caused a significant increase in credit spreads, resulting in a substantial over supply of low coupon originations causing a severe decline in margins and diminished capital market distribution exits for originators reliant upon an aggregation execution model. To mitigate the risks associated with reduced distribution exits and extended settlement timelines, we began to pull back on production, significantly increasing the pricing on our loan products as well as completely shifting to a best-efforts delivery for non-agency production in the first quarter of 2022, which significantly reduced our origination volumes during the second quarter of 2022 as compared to the second quarter of 2021. We continue to manage our headcount, pipeline and capacity to balance the risks inherent in an aggregation execution model.

We continue to believe there is an underserved mortgage market for borrowers with strong credit who may not meet the qualified mortgage (QM) guidelines set out by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we originated $382.1 million in NonQM loans and were on pace to exceed our fourth quarter 2021 NonQM originations during the first quarter of 2022, prior to the recent dislocation in NonQM pricing as a result of widening credit spreads.

As described earlier, as a result of the market dislocation we have further backed off NonQM production during the second quarter of 2022 with NonQM originations decreasing to $80.2 million from $314.3 million during the first quarter of 2022, and down from $100.6 million during the second quarter of 2021. During the second quarter of 2022, NonQM originations represented 63% of our total originations, which was a decrease over the first quarter of 2022 which represented 65% of our total originations but up from only 16% of our total originations during the second quarter of 2021.

In the second quarter of 2022, our NonQM originations had a weighted average Fair Isaac Company credit score (FICO) of 735 and a weighted average LTV ratio of 67%. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our NonQM originations had a weighted average FICO of 747 and a weighted average LTV of 65%.

The mortgage servicing portfolio decreased to $71.4 million at June 30, 2022, as compared to $71.8 million at December 31, 2021, and $48.6 million at June 30, 2021. We continue to sell whole loans on a servicing released basis to investors and selectively retain GNMA mortgage servicing.

The servicing portfolio generated net servicing income of $7 thousand in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to net servicing expense of $150 thousand in the second quarter of 2021. Despite the increase in UPB of the servicing portfolio during 2022, we will continue to recognize an immaterial amount of net servicing fees, or a net servicing expense related to interim subservicing and other servicing costs related to the small UPB of remaining servicing portfolio.

For the second quarter of 2022, real estate services fees, net were $257 thousand as compared to $185 thousand in the first quarter of 2022 and $478 thousand in the second quarter of 2021. Real estate services fees, net is generated from our former long-term mortgage portfolio which continued to decline in size. Additionally, as previously noted, in March 2022, we sold our residual interest certificates, and assigned certain optional termination and loan purchase rights which entails the entire legacy securitization portfolio within our long-term mortgage portfolio. As a result, it is our expectation that the real estate services fees, net generated from the long-term mortgage portfolio will significantly decline in future periods as the securitizations are called or collapsed by the purchaser.

At June 30, 2022, cash increased $31.6 million to $61.2 million from $29.6 million at December 31, 2021. Cash balances increased primarily due to the aforementioned $37.5 million sale and transfer of the legacy securitization portfolio during the first quarter of 2022.

Mr. George A. Mangiaracina, Chairman and CEO of Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., commented, “The Company’s financial results for the second quarter of 2022 reflect the adverse effects of the historic market dislocation and volatility across the mortgage origination industry that commenced in the fourth quarter of 2021. We continue to navigate this environment by remaining disciplined in our origination approach and vigilant in our capital markets activities with respect to product and price offerings and hedging strategies.”

Mr. Mangiaracina further commented, “In addition to managing our core business, the Company has also advanced on solving for circumstances related to our Preferred Securities. As previously disclosed, in the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into voting agreements with certain of its Convertible Note, Preferred Stock and Common Stock holders to agree to extend outstanding debt and exchange preferred equity for consideration which would align stakeholder interests that have been impacted since the Company’s tender exchange offer for the Preferred Securities in 2009. Should the exchange offer and redemption transactions take effect, the Company believes it should be better positioned to engage in capital raise and corporate finance activities, absent the overhang of an intractable legacy capital structure.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release contains adjusted earnings (loss) and per share as performance measures, to supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted (loss) before tax and diluted adjusted (loss) per common share before tax. Adjusted (loss) and diluted adjusted loss per common share are financial measurements calculated by adjusting GAAP net (loss) before tax to exclude certain non-cash items, such as fair value adjustments and mark-to-market of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs), and legacy non-recurring expenses. We believe adjusted loss provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations as it assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our core business of mortgage lending over multiple periods. Adjusted (loss) facilitates company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential non-cash differences caused by variations in hedging strategies and changes in valuations for long-term debt and net trust assets, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance, as well as certain historical cost (benefit) items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation and should not be a substitute for net (loss) earnings before income taxes, net (loss) earnings or diluted (loss) earnings per common share (EPS) or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. The tables below provide a reconciliation of net (loss) before tax and diluted (loss) per common share to non-GAAP adjusted loss before tax and non-GAAP diluted adjusted loss per common share:
