next FBR. go question Tim comes B. Please ahead. Hayes Our from from Riley

morning good Thanks taking questions. my Hey, Mike. for

And it First you your one, then the least at pace attractive And slight stock expect what you is the yield? XX.X% do see view think You discount deployment touch this to modest, at capital across term. in buyback asset pretty on book how And do use just the classes. where a capital you actually in most the to where context of you highlighted like be returns portfolio allocation? near to do of growing? today? trading sounds be about the at you with can a But the

Great question.

investing at in sold the the in environment the think couple mortgage all to billion of income $XX the been year market we if do look since marketplace. RPL, for loan is example, interesting. of volumes, that fixed things for what out saw roughly I XXXX, So we XXXX a sold this into you just in loans into legacy not A year-over-year just $XX marketplace; year-to-date billion has point

up NPLs. the obviously on So continue a drop the and RPLs as continue to But huge clean legacy an to banks annualized their basis. GSEs and I would expect that

well markets extremely overall, So those should remain built.

you're last just because I get capital that product probably down deploy. people these our been but on we good less go returns, the we loans. time in plenty We’ve think, and to able think see are returns very asked business generate going to I of call, in why So have earnings there's investing to over

X%. bonds over of course some The non-agency sold the we consistent Last to quarter the bond few past are X% levered that our call bonds business because years, we bought yields with strategy. were

them could we'll we into redeploy own significantly sell something levered quarter assets to are else, returns, or X% that capital obviously where that that strategy, So that. we cheaper, if of kind we if not do did sell are X% call

the out will book to dividend there's So can be yields protect XX% Depending some when our NRZ, the book on whether I as attractive. a And remains the in out going me at a need upon seems crazy. And there. dividend is we we forward, point it want to yield, we've ever as been. you dividend XX% that peers know continue to book, X% opportunistic, would any point stock friends where look important The that that XX% percentage whether is to thing we I protect yield, of our of I if we this we on are to out value. think, most trade notes, thing and I XX-year XXX to don't be at or marketplace, magic value one

So really there. the value out managers there's no to given

at But look forward, where in. going see those for protect right we'll value, we to maintain So because we could right we're table. looked going nothing what on where that's more invest going at to the now we jumping It now. us tell look can't right now stock opportunistic I are there's but things everything, we're there's to go. you cash, at nothing but book buy be backs,

Okay.

made outlook Okay, you making? color some done forward top number the would environment, and and quite the just for protecting good put yield looking other about is coverage given all you at and book I of very time earnings little the say that that overall dividend but capital earnings steepening wondering meek. I reflecting a you've is your quarterly your the going then core this in priority you've quarter, deployment bit lowest environment dividend, and there. the been investment core it investments that. value think $X.XX you've clear a but up little the bit But how curve and job covered appreciate But And a in

going We're quite operating to to business. frankly grow our have in

our are mean, Dimon we've Jamie a way do because out don't core anything manage downside. to environment talking anything number. in quarterly about to skewed we you seen and the quarterly higher some could acquisition, had, to think, stupid when year earnings, Shellpoint to, earnings. in I marketplace do mean, business I where we'll thing in want to think want to But play run higher stupid, example, other don't returns it. year get the I how $XX think into have this the if grow listen I all million that's a we're about acquisition, way that really $XXX million to have to – think to and ago, Doug on roughly in going steady Ditech about rate we on I it a asked we're this If this we grow earnings, this absolutely earnings we things, to going ROE a about the risk think for and

of company people. So operating little there X,XXX a over we business lot growing our people a that has focus have

risk we On side the models Fortress on management else. professionals have NRZ dedicated working and side everything XX and

no We have think out there's lunch, there's very right nothing the investment easy but that cheap again business, now. we big in a is there free

disciplined So we'll very be about capital.

That but businesses, to guess just see earnings you the those and willing makes my bit go steady? through time you platform I'll they how sounds guess a but in question the just know that you maybe confidence down to but grow in lot a is sense. decision, And a I like I Board I you bit core have operating up it are over on being investments are pick of little this and of making able it's little wondering think a that? go before dividend earnings keep about more, kind

and higher investments back trading to monitor in Could it. yielding or do was $X.XX, not how X.XX% about rate they about if dividend $X, talk you higher promise this core $X.XX, burning to a I'm before think I environment – we have to question it ramp going XX% point. really does to dividend or stuff yields Because crazy. the think to our it off dividends about up? going matter earnings a is go down lot. lower at this no XX% up, long We take XX-year Doug's as again at Absolutely. back go

contribution then call earnings from you I one just this would from quarter? me, have agree with that. core rights And do last the

we So that part are extremely about. excited

figure business And in to But in table, ways the were ago. Trevor, risk. market. is from think done now importantly now grow rate we operating we're is a a that help earnings reasons most segment that's right clearly but alternative we've on I of difficult bigger and control this out everything a years couple where the few obviously counterparty for to to

sales the that of not bond non-agency Okay, quarter, you the say would that of mentioned this that sales you might they the you call the bonds much strategy. portfolio of rights non-core consider core Can the non-agency remaining were you. then rights roughly at And sort to something of look call were got on to you opportunistically? how securities

is. Yes, most of it

acquired our south an is the value the overall Most to billion bond billion. so I rate portfolio had We a $X did over a half mortgages from at spread of that time. market course good $X between year and were stuff Our billion, little or it’s a and of thought of bit where we think, it the $X is AAA some fixed past passthroughs core.

mid-teens call our type different is call the but our stuff of returns. But core think like those So strategy, to strategy. have are levered than now we most

on there be in color that any would holdings you last balance you, loan are you just any additional additional those like Got can just or of give question, the you low bonds on And then now, color okay. guys the or are just have agency helpful. holding guys generic, the terms on sheet MBS around that balance,

And some are those, low up Xs, generic. points Xs. – balance. of the versus fairly a and as our again, of for we for we've are X.X are paying part that They loan been They newer they think a lot we MSRs most X, use hedge production Fanie our

comments. great. you. the Okay, Appreciate Thank

Please Matthew Our Nomura. Howlett next question from comes go from ahead.

doing? for acquisition contemplate there is for or more the lower just looking on got Slide the target. Hey like you this Mike X win a morning. given that now how the flow big just out Ditech What is Does – the ambitious servicing product an on targeted, seeing you you there are sort at my that's maybe front? taking MSRs? bid the acquisitions Just it are question. to Good some size, Thanks $XXX billion UPB of type of

go Yes as really it's the Ditech own acquisition we and our really forward. production it's

We think, with funded our this QX. couple production geared own to But is in have we pipelines. our overall, – to that's – of own not larger MSR prepaid QX protection these I more in a agree acquisitions

more just That's internally.

Yes, exactly. the mean, million. With you To if that, lower, Ditech, and I transfer about we absolutely. now I right at $XXX think, are

Okay.

get, year, production going all that's this biggest, and we we most can. everybody we is we'll to year's with be as the the need the think couple boarded I It's be but next goal then not the be not here, be profitable as we to point make to to to but – to think possibly it's don't

So that's the or as the that as really number to we're long service is. And whatever homeowner, is XXX, or goal. proper number the XXX, providing

then that's my next And Got it. question.

forward? help – Ditech the you look the to recapture you I get that. that with and Actually, where recapture, mean, think we'll you do target? On we the do at up Where to? about going like How what's

now amount be spending importantly, right lot a importantly, have of data that recapture of say whether of or on lower it but not most business. focused time wouldn't importantly part models are on we'd We're rates analytics, I the the So like. we most personnel than and

we would I when the of for Ditech, very up quality good pick significant ask who've So call folks business mortgage amount years. what a been many about you in

rates the years we help side. to going in on the go is recapture. part if probably upon Overall were back product you a that us recapture So few back, mid-XXs depending

stuff but XXs. lower overall the in are numbers okay, is refi kind your of the Now

of we got a to room So lot go.

part this this what's think, important, growing is to business. for through that driving you our on And whole origination operating I money increasing, But of a is we've us our forward of lot more shareholders. our great recapture, great around made and profitability go business. in tell thing business operating to Fabulous, really year for it's

some outlook? in Got it overall you do break expect but banks you refi down how would out CPRS think will sort just on higher in saying? and the it. XXXX be like – expect of And on XQ know are you to them And just you then that Q, I about come do subside the of they the in the

look few we go and different off. And them Yes, level speeds than are see our a although then to overall little consistent how as book, it's at months at market. we bit some broader kind of now next a higher think expect the we we that's with forward little for the point

the last lower. question you pointed then Mike Got And with last just XX%, dividend the two X%. under out yield preferred it. at you and at mentioned in sort The I of one you came noticed did

cheaper to look preferred your capital just when just given a is? realistic clearly equity at So you now is target in the of yield more common where more source dividend that or

capital, – common. issue could but retail market it's a a bit preferred mean, much the the we have very I I Yes, is for with little it's I need mean don't you a if than, valid – problem mean, point. it's smaller

Right.

obviously was billion, liquidity thing cash do, explore Ditech sheet. and large With our options. we significantly $X.X – with and dealing raise didn't we’re we that explore of we needed something equity The still we'd on balance to a all a bunch

So bond our asked or planning our Trevor think a question and around liquidity I Tim about portfolios.

of lot back $XX we twice. a if have and We generate think you portfolio – our step you take can't billion have from on to have liquidity that a liquidity a

to balance off three need have bunch that of sheet. raise today. a could we our we we money, If lines So do

That’s Mike. helpful. Thanks. Got it. Thanks

Thanks Matt.

say, look, the book and look a got at or value to you the balance two do point need well you I reduce versus hedge defend to a mean, sort of do You've I you value? where both. dividend How book those portfolio. is have dividend to there grow

I we're all warriors. would say

out to some want remarks, We try we in much as possibly of can. as as stupid. our But, earlier don't do will anything defend we pointed to both I

up, markets the dividend the plays tell could this can't I move business. We between but see in going got is out X% quarter going a so up, think the bounces couple right. you matter happen can't not treasury of going you days. a And And about XX-year in what operating how tell X.XX%, right, to we're I So whether rate, and you doing whether and it's the down. much, when

we're we the know we closer to to make that during protect really But where end this. on don't get the quarter just up quarter falling we of have out to end going we book So until that our value. sure

XXX And $XXX.X technical gains, in of million does terms gains, call general then in non-agency, investment just terms. – sale question, just in that a of agency, a breakout right kind trading, of sale how of

Laws next from Raymond Our Please ahead. comes question James. from Stephen go

good Hi, morning.

Stephen morning Good

your response lot the opportunity. but is bit Mike, want a that? to a it your How And it's Henry's statement. You How or to of go touch metric whatever which the services? doesn't is, of ancillary we hit as in whether income right A services on question on track really should partnerships, that's of done importantly, little through this is just it penetration number lot integrated through new.

of minority creating we in think grow? these So value those reflected maybe as how investments your about aren't do book value the businesses some that in

keep they the questions, to are to We company revenue of trades XX Covius. run going of from friends to the own that But true likelihood or kind a won't our business. earnings party multiple, never the goal stream you with be would – a continue be large internal EBITDA could in create value it'll the grow Three mortgage because be. services company, see realize for that is you that it's real that. to there to at third what try at company to if And pick times so we’ll some any going going we're our shareholders

grow that industry So a XX% the now it own for to to under there's people own create I with folks well, opportunity quite vehicle If other ability create right as for example, to really that way the Covius book to little frankly, where of we XX%. value with a more shareholders. think XX%, that's

going that, for and times that's our go shareholders where at be there. if with and earnings example, trades it XX% winner and own the So year a $X.X, well a million are to we $XXX to XX

So that's give another share take. $X roughly a or

I acquisition, Shellpoint a look $X at book least $X, another our you gain value pointed earlier, out at If think, there. implied as I of there's

I any our our our counting couple rights, stated value, given of there things value plus the So understated. credit not what for think, book significantly book any call

That's really appreciated.

Distribution start or distributions now. rolling value creation. in results the value book creating book some see You’ll

that year low or the $XX we or high used as seeing on widening that a you quickly next dropped there. have interest rates kind get end on the for the $XX and looking assumption target, Appreciate watch that the end year, that rate to make rate is $XX should mortgage some for would stated as at billion comments What projection haven't We're kind billion mortgage of origination of to there Mike. And significant to rates. rates then to as of a from out love inflection there the all level we opportunity XX amount frame significantly or the where volume where or kind the turns billion points all see less? cuts sudden on end Kind get months. a on keep refi on next thoughts Are that if your of of maybe dropping significantly mortgage any we the off say rates look mortgage a you refi? of for on more high next origination

the don't I what is. know rate magical

that I ability have. some think we really currently market share it's don't capture our of desire to and the

don't this that's volatile environment, is are know, if stayed geopolitical stay could XXX the which stuff because of just I going the so possible, through this So in on. markets the you very based XX-year in on the notes rest rate we year right,

just that it's really more share. think capturing I market

rates So go a can bit. move little a up bit, little can they down

go. growth runaway have a amount large I just think to initiative and we of

or of I others. November withstand rate dropped billion year, XX-year if what yes share on. take this billion But year, That's environment, mind last about XXX. focused this right. $XX market capture in again, $X origination actually a rates more rate now benign think $XX we really could have Keep we ton, are we billion from we was Last XXX,

the GSE response a expiration. patch issues and – picture you QM question or significant of last And think I of reform GSE taking kind Washington, pose reform, But are you're on GSE but there you that one mentioned there to Kevin. place whether or couple bigger And in your to a GSE touched time to any reform? that think reforming comments it's at the redefining around Right. same anything that in QM of coming one you are closely positives watching then predict bigger that's might the or out business? of – the a two hard know you discussions that topics headwind

Listen, everybody keeps talking about the patch.

was doing that's million agency can't $XXX alternatives quarter there that $XXX But to but everybody for they belittle other mortgage. homeowners not to get you’re said if they or great, non-QM be million about needs talking non-QM. years For and an a

private patch GSCs opportunities on think, own, go create that'll I comes capital. the capital. for for private the off opportunity if and when create Should their So that'll an

come. private situated of this, year of think election it's But that. good to going of need patch. lot amounts that to lot large a of other when don't capital. And for think kind of advantage next don't a is year a how happens know stuff between there's out I perfectly require an they come we're which into of come.
