| Statement |
|---|
| Our balance sheet remains strong and provides us with the flexibility to continue to invest in our growth in a disciplined manner, and our assets consist primarily of high-quality loans and MSRs |
| We have a well-positioned balance sheet, which will support the growth of our platform |
| We anticipate continued pressure in the near term and remain confident in our balanced business model, which we believe results in more durable and sustainable performance across market cycles |
| This has allowed us to grow our market share and importantly, as we keep emphasizing, have positioned us for potential accelerated growth as the market returns |
| However, we remain confident that Guild's strategy that we have always adhered to is the one that will again prove to be successful in this cycle |
| As Amber will discuss, we have prioritized maintaining our balance sheet strength and liquidity, which should allow us to effectively execute on this strategy |
| And we hired a new recruitment manager, and he's doing a fantastic job |
| Our strong balance sheet and liquidity enables us to invest in the business and strategically deploy capital in a disciplined manner to drive growth and shareholder value over time |
| Our customer relationships are a competitive advantage with our focus on the client life cycle starting at origination and extending through servicing |
| We are confident in Guild standing as one of the industry's dominant retail mortgage companies |
| We are well capitalized and remain confident that we have the right platform, products and people to allow us to deliver on our strategy |
| We have continued to invest in our people and our platform to both drive market share in the near term and to be positioned to accelerate growth when this cycle turns |
| In the third quarter, we continue to adhere to the strategy we have consistently communicated with our focus on the retail purchase market and dedication to customer service, along with continuing to gain market share to position Guild for accelerated growth when the cycle turns |
| These opportunities exemplify our growth strategy and allow us to achieve several of our strategic objectives that include expanding our presence in existing markets and seamlessly entering new ones |
| Furthermore, we are innovative and continue to develop products that not only contribute to the options we have for our customers, but also allows us to expand our outreach in communities we serve |
| This focus not only allows us to generate more reliable income, it enables us to build an ongoing asset |
| Gain-on-sale margins on pull-through adjusted loss volume increased 75 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 389 basis points and total pull-through adjusted loss volume was $4.1 billion compared to $4.4 billion in the prior quarter |
| And where are you in the acquisition cycle? Are you still seeing opportunities to where you think there could be more deals into 2024? Terry Schmidt Our pipeline is still very strong |
| For our Servicing segment, we reported net income of $84 million compared to $89 million in the second quarter, with a 2% quarter-over-quarter increase in the unpaid balance of our servicing portfolio to $84 billion |
| And I think it's just that the brand that we've built in the industry, everybody understands that this is what we do, whether it's acquisitions or organic and to date, our organic goal, we've actually met the goal for the year, and we still have two months left |
| However, on a relative basis, we benefit from our focus on the purchase mortgage market |
| However, with this backdrop, Guild has maintained its proven approach centered on providing a personalized mortgage borrowing experience delivered by our knowledgeable loan officers and supported by our diverse product offerings |
| In this challenging environment, we believe there continues to be consolidation in both M&A and organic originations with Guild increasing market share |
| We continue to focus on gaining market share through serving potential homebuyers with products and services that meet their needs as well as selective acquisitions |
| We are a retail distributed growth company, and we leverage our relationship-based loan sourcing strategy to execute on our mission of delivering the promise of homeownership |
| We have built a brand in the industry that attracts like-minded companies and loan originators |
| So we think that there's a lot more potential to roll it out throughout our retail group and are continuing to grow that area |
| Great |
| Industry mortgage rates have ticked up again maintaining the current more challenging market conditions as well as entering the seasonally slower fourth quarter |
| We will continue to seek to expand our market share |

| Our results similarly reflect these challenges, and we anticipate ongoing muted demand in the near term |
| According to the MBA, existing home sales in Q3 were down an estimated 16% from the prior year, and many homeowners with mortgage rates well below the current rates are choosing not to sell |
| As Terry already touched on, the entire industry faces ongoing pressures |
| This lack of supply, coupled with the increase in mortgage rates continues to put a strain on home buying affordability and overall activity |
| We anticipate we will see continued pressure on originations in the coming quarters |
| In the third quarter, we delivered total in-house loan originations of $4.3 billion as expected, slightly down from the $4.5 billion in the second quarter |
| But this quarter was actually pretty much the lowest we've seen at 80% retained |
| This led to an industry-wide sequential pullback in originations in the third quarter |
| I think volume is just going into a very seasonally slow fourth quarter on top of these inventory issues, we're not going to see any changes |
| And presumably, that environment is persisting |
| Donald Fandetti It sounds like the Q4 gain on sale margin would be in the 330 range, but that's still well below your historical in the high 3s |
| It seem like things slowed down a little bit in the summer months, but it's picking up again |
| The ongoing industry headwinds in the mortgage market have been well publicized with high rates and prolonged limited housing inventory |
| The reduction in net income was due to a lower change in fair value due to valuation assumptions of $38.2 million in Q3 compared to $43.8 million in Q2 |
| I apologize |
| When you made acquisitions, it's dropped as you brought platforms that were sellers – net sellers of MSR on and you've reworked their relationships |
| I should have asked this before and if it's disclosed anywhere, and I've missed it, I apologize |
| Actual results for future periods may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of risks or other factors that are described in greater detail under the section titled Risk Factors in Guild's Form 10-K and 10-Q and in other reports filed with the U.S |
