PennyMac Soars: Stellar Q4 and 2024 Performance Highlights Resilience in Mortgage Market


PennyMac Financial Services, Inc. has reported impressive financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, showcasing resilience in a challenging mortgage market.

Fourth Quarter Highlights: The company achieved a net income of $104.5 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, on revenues of $470.1 million.

This marks a significant recovery from the previous year’s loss in the same quarter, driven by strong performance in both production and servicing segments.

Notably, pretax income rose to $129.4 million, compared to a pretax loss of $54.2 million in Q4 2023, which had been impacted by a substantial non-recurring expense related to arbitration costs.

Full-Year Performance: For 2024, PennyMac reported a net income of $311.4 million, up from $144.7 million in 2023, with total revenues reaching $1.6 billion.

The total loan production for the year amounted to $116.3 billion, reflecting a robust growth rate of 17% compared to the previous year.

Dividend Increase: The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share, representing a 50% increase from the prior dividend of $0.20, demonstrating the company’s commitment to returning value to shareholders.

Market Positioning: Despite some metrics falling short of Wall Street expectations—analysts had anticipated earnings per share closer to $3.05—PennyMac’s performance indicates strong operational capabilities and strategic positioning within the mortgage industry.

The company’s servicing portfolio grew to an impressive $665.8 billion, marking a 10% increase year-over-year.

Chairman and CEO David Spector emphasized the company’s adaptability and continued strength in its servicing business as key drivers behind these results, positioning PennyMac favorably for future growth as interest rates stabilize.
