Good afternoon, and welcome to the Third Quarter 2021 Earnings discussion for PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust. The slides that accompany this discussion are available on PennyMac Mortgage website at www.pennymac-reit.com. Before we begin, let me remind you that our discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to the risks identified on Slide 2 that could cause our actual results to differ materially. Thank you. Now, I’d like to introduce David Spector, PMT’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer who will discuss third quarter 2021 results.

Thank you, Isaac. For the third quarter 2021, PMT reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $43.9 million, or $0.45 per common share driven by fair value decline in PMT’s sensitive strategies. As noted in second quarter financial reports FHFA’s elimination of the Adverse Market Refinance Fee contributed to a significant decline in the fair value of PMT’s MSRs in the third quarter, along with continued elevated prepayments. These impacts were partially offset by strong returns in our credit sensitive strategies and correspondent production segments. PMT paid a common dividend of $0.47 per share. Book value per share decreased to $19.79 from $20.77 at the end of the prior quarter. We also successfully completed the issuance of $250 million in preferred shares in a public equity offering. Our high-quality loan production continues to organically generate assets for PMT and this quarter, $28.6 billion in UPB of conventional correspondent production led to the creation of more than $425 million in new, low-coupon mortgage servicing rights. From PMT’s production volumes we are also creating new credit assets, currently in the form of Agency-eligible investor loan securitizations. During the quarter, we purchased subordinate securities from two securitizations of investor loans totaling $548 million dollars in UPB from PMT’s correspondent production and after the quarter, we retained mortgage securities from PMT’s inaugural securitization of investor loans totaling $414 million in UPB. In aggregate, at the end of October, the fair value of PMT’s investments in investor loans was approximately $60 million. With interest rates rising, the mortgage market is shifting and we believe PMT is uniquely positioned to capitalize on current and evolving investment opportunities given its scale and leadership position in correspondent production. Leading economists forecast a smaller origination market in 2022 driven by a decline in refinance originations. As a result, we expect to see increased levels of competition and continued lower margins across the industry. However, strong demographic and secular trends are expected to drive growth in purchase activity in 2022 and we believe PMT is well positioned as a leader in the production of purchase money loans. Additionally, as the environment becomes more competitive, we expect PMT to benefit as correspondent sellers look to increase servicing released whole loan sales to well-capitalized aggregators like PMT. For more than 12 years, PMT has successfully navigated various regulatory, interest rate, and origination market environments while delivering strong returns. This can be attributed to the strong management team at PennyMac and the risk management disciplines we have focused on since our founding. Organic asset creation remains a competitive advantage for PMT relative to other mortgage REITs. While the future of lender risk share is uncertain, we remain focused on opportunities in the current market environment, such as MSRs and investor securitizations with attractive long-term return profiles. With that, I will now turn over to Andy Chang, PMT’s Senior Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer. Andy?

Thank you, David. I will discuss the mortgage origination landscape, the impact of recently-announced changes from FHFA on PMT, and review the run rate return potential from PMT strategies. While the origination market is in a period of transition, it continues to be large. Despite the increase in recent weeks, interest rates continue to be historically low and remain within the projections of leading economists. Current forecasts for 2022 originations remain strong at $3 trillion. It is worth noting that purchase originations are expected to grow to a record $2 trillion in 2022, up 9% from this year’s levels, while refinance originations are expected to decline to $1.1 trillion. Given this backdrop, we believe the outlook for PMT remains favorable given its purchase-money focus and flexible investment platform with organic asset creation capabilities. That said, the current transition in the market is driving heightened competition as David discussed earlier, which is expected to affect PMT’s near-term results in correspondent production. Regulatory changes are also impacting the competitive landscape with a new administration and changing focus. First, FHFA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the regulatory capital framework for the GSEs, which would introduce more favorable GSE capital treatment for CRT and an incentive for the GSEs to resume CRT issuance. Notably, Fannie Mae recently completed a new CAS transaction, but the future of lender risk share is still uncertain. Next, FHFA suspended the GSEse previously imposed 7% limit on the acquisition of investment properties and second homes, resulting in greater liquidity and competition for these loans. However, PMT has the flexibility to determine the best execution for investor loans, between private label securitization or delivery to the Agencies. FHFA also suspended the $1.5 billion annual cash window limit for each of the GSEs, increasing competition for loans among…

Thank you, Andy. Let’s begin with highlights in our Correspondent Production segment. Total correspondent acquisition volume in the quarter was $44 billion, down 6% from the prior quarter and down 1% from the third quarter of 2020. 65% of PMT’s acquisition volume were conventional loans, similar to the prior quarter. We maintained our leadership position in the channel as a result of our consistency, competitive pricing, and the operational excellence we continue to provide to our correspondent partners. PMT ended the quarter with 755 correspondent seller relationships. Conventional lock volume in the quarter was $29.4 billion, down 3% from the prior quarter and down 14% year-over-year. Importantly, purchase volume was a record for PMT at nearly $29 billion, up from $27.4 billion in the prior quarter and $21.5 billion in the third quarter of 2020. PMT’s correspondent production segment pre-tax income as a percentage of interest rate lock commitments was 9 basis points, up from 6 basis points in the prior quarter. The weighted average fulfillment fee rate in the third quarter was 15 basis points, down from 18 basis points in the prior quarter, reflecting discretionary reductions made to facilitate successful loan acquisitions by PMT. Acquisition volumes in October were $12.9 billion in UPB, and locks were 11.5 billion dollars in UPB. PMT’s Interest Rate Sensitive strategies consist of our investments in MSRs sourced from our correspondent production, and investments in Agency MBS, non-Agency senior MBS and interest rate derivatives with offsetting interest rate exposure. The fair value of PMT’s MSR asset at the end of the third quarter was $2.8 billion, up from $2.6 billion at the end of the prior quarter. The increase reflects new MSR investments that more than offset fair value losses and prepayments. Now, I would like to discuss PMT’s Credit Sensitive Strategies, which…

Thank you, Vandy. PMT reports results through four segments. Credit Sensitive Strategies, which contributed $60.7 million in pre-tax income; Interest Rate Sensitive Strategies, which contributed $116.8 million dollars in pre-tax loss; Correspondent Production, which contributed $27.8 million in pre-tax income; and the Corporate segment, which had a pre-tax loss of $12.3 million. The contribution from PMT’s CRT investments totaled $60 million. This amount included $26.4 million in market-driven value gains, reflecting the impact of credit spread tightening and elevated prepayment speeds. As a reminder, faster prepayment speeds benefit PMT’s CRT investments as payoffs of the associated loans reduce potential for realized losses. Net gain on CRT investments also included $33.1 million in realized gains and carry, 14.3 million dollars in net losses reversed, primarily related to L Street Securities 2017-PM1 which Vandy discussed earlier, $100,000 in interest income on cash deposits, $13.2 million of financing expenses, and $800,000 of expenses to assist certain borrowers in mitigating loan delinquencies they incurred as a result of dislocations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. PMT’s interest rate sensitive strategies contributed a loss of $116.8 million in the quarter. MSR fair value decreased a total of $63 million during the quarter and included $64 million in fair value increases due to changes in interest rates, $56 million of valuation decreases due to FHFA’s elimination of the Adverse Market Refinance Fee, and $70 million in additional valuation declines primarily due to elevated levels of prepayment activity and increases to short-term prepayment projections. The fair value on Agency MBS and interest rate hedges also declined by $95 million and included $80 million of fair value declines due to increases in market interest rates, and declines due to hedge costs of $15 million. PMT’s Correspondent Production segment contributed $27.8 million to pre-tax income for the quarter. PMT’s Corporate segment includes interest income from cash and short-term investments, management fees and corporate expenses. The segment’s contribution for the quarter was a pre-tax loss of $12.3 million. Finally, we recognized a tax benefit of $4.7 million in the third quarter driven by fair value declines in MSRs held in PMT’s taxable subsidiary. And with that, I’ll turn the discussion back over to David for some closing remarks.

Thank you, Dan. Looking forward, while rising interest rates are driving a competitive environment for aggregators that presents near term challenges, PMT is well-positioned over the long term with a valuable portfolio of existing investments, alignment to the purchase market in its correspondent production business, and a proven ability to organically generate new investments. We remain tirelessly focused on driving improved execution and capitalizing on the current and evolving investment environment, and are optimistic about PMT’s ability to deliver attractive returns as we look ahead.
