- Earns adjusted net income of $10.6 million or $0.53 per diluted share NEW YORK, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MortgageIT Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MHL), a residential mortgage company organized as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005. The Company reported GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2005 of $8.4 million, or $0.42 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2005 was $10.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share. Net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are based upon weighted average outstanding shares of 19.9 million. Loan fundings were a Company record $6.4 billion for the quarter, up 89% from the year ago period and a 47% increase over the first quarter of 2005. Purchase money fundings were $3.6 billion in the quarter, also a Company record, up 137% from the year ago period. Doug Naidus, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, 'We recently completed a well received secondary offering that raised approximately $150 million of proceeds for the Company. We intend to use these proceeds to grow our 100% self-originated portfolio through the end of the year. Our mortgage banking business continues to perform extremely well. We exceeded the high end of our second quarter loan production guidance by more than 20%, while also posting record purchase money volume during the quarter. Our loan production, up 89% year over year and 47% sequentially quarter over quarter, outpaced industry growth of (3%) and 30%, respectively. Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the continuation of strong trends in loan originations and we expect total loan fundings for the third quarter to again approximately double when compared to the year ago period." Financial and Operating Highlights: Loan Funding For the three months ended For the six months ended Information June 30, June 30, 2005 2004 2005 2004 Loan Fundings $6.4 billion $3.4 billion $10.7 billion $5.6 billion % Refinance 44% 55% 46% 58% % Purchase Money 56% 45% 54% 42% % ARM loans 54% 39% 53% 35% Loans Sold and Brokered to Third Parties $4.7 billion $2.9 billion $7.9 billion $4.8 billion * Second quarter loan funding volume was $6.4 billion. This represents an increase of approximately 89% from the year ago period. Included in the second quarter volume was $3.6 billion in purchase (non-refinance) mortgage funding volume representing an increase of approximately 137% from the year ago period. * Second quarter sub-prime volume was $1.0 billion, at the high end of the Company's prior guidance of $750 million to $1.0 billion. The Company's recently formed wholesale sub-prime division had 438 employees located in seven branches nationwide as of June 30, 2005. * During the second quarter of 2005, the Company transferred $899 million of self-originated ARM loans to its investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had an investment portfolio of $3.8 billion, of which $3.6 billion was securitized. The portfolio had an average balance of $3.4 billion in the second quarter. * During the second quarter of 2005, the Company sold $4.1 billion of whole loans to third parties and brokered $462 million. The Company's third party gain on sale margin was 114 basis points. Adjusted Financial Measures Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (diluted) are non-GAAP financial measures which are reported by the Company in addition to net income and earnings per share (diluted) as prepared in accordance with GAAP. As indicated in its first quarter 2005 release, the Company did not qualify under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS 133") with respect to certain hedging activities. The non-GAAP financial measures reported by the Company are presented as if the Company qualified under FAS 133 in all periods. If the Company qualified under FAS 133, gains and losses on derivative hedges would have been deferred and amortized over the hedge period. Since the Company did not qualify under FAS 133, both realized and unrealized gains and losses were recognized in GAAP earnings in prior periods. Management believes that by adjusting net income in this manner, the non-GAAP measures provide a useful gauge of the Company's operating performance because adjusted net income highlights that portion of the Company's reported earnings that is more likely to be ongoing in nature. Set forth below is information with respect to our financial results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005, as well as a reconciliation between the non-GAAP and comparable GAAP financial measures: Segment Financial Results for the Second Quarter of 2005 Mortgage ($ thousands - except EPS) Banking Portfolio Consolidated Amount EPS Amount EPS Amount EPS After tax GAAP earnings prior to elimination 7,667 0.39 5,113 0.25 12,780 0.64 Elimination (1) (5,712) (0.29) 1,352 0.07 (4,360) (0.22) After tax GAAP earnings net of elimination 1,955 0.10 6,465 0.32 8,420 0.42 Adjustment for after tax impact relating to FAS133 (2) 733 0.04 1,436 0.07 2,169 0.11 Adjusted Earnings 2,688 0.14 7,901 0.39 10,589 0.53 Segment Financial Results for the Six Months ended June 30 of 2005 Mortgage ($ thousands - except EPS) Banking Portfolio Consolidated Amount EPS Amount EPS Amount EPS After tax GAAP earnings prior to elimination 11,617 0.58 20,841 1.05 32,458 1.63 Elimination (1) (10,588) (0.53) 2,278 0.11 (8,310) (0.42) After tax GAAP earnings net of elimination 1,029 0.05 23,119 1.16 24,148 1.21 Adjustment for after tax impact relating to FAS133 (2) (629) (0.03) (6,651) (0.33) (7,280) (0.36) Adjusted Earnings 400 0.02 16,468 0.83 16,868 0.85 (1) Eliminates the economic impact of inter-company loan sales from the mortgage bank to the portfolio.
