SEC filingRevenue grew 22.5% to $512.5M, but net income fell 53.8% to $51.9M, driven by unfavorable fair value changes and higher expenses, highlighting a mixed quarter.
Revenue for the first quarter of 2026 was $512.5 million, a 22.5% increase from $418.2 million in the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by higher interest income from commercial loans and servicing fees, reflecting the company's expanded lending activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $93.6 million, down 60.8% from $238.9 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to changes in working capital and lower net income. Investing activities used significant cash for loan originations, while financing activities provided cash from net borrowings, supporting the company's investment activities.
The company's segments experienced mixed results. The commercial and residential lending segments contributed to revenue growth, but fair value adjustments in the residential segment pressured net income. The servicing segment also benefited from higher fees.
The company's liquidity strategy remains unchanged since December 31, 2025. Management focuses on meeting cash requirements for debt repayments, asset funding, operations, new investments, and dividends. Future funding commitments are expected to be primarily matched-term funded with secured or securitized financing, with any difference funded from available cash or other sources.
The company continues to navigate a dynamic interest rate environment. Lower index rates and spreads have reduced interest expense, but fair value volatility remains a risk. Management projects that certain loan funding commitments will not require funding due to borrower repayments, providing some liquidity flexibility.
