The earnings call reflects a robust quarter with significant growth in loan origination and income. Securitizations have been successful, and the company enjoys a strong pipeline indicating continued momentum. However, the non-performing loan rate remains high, and there are potential risks associated with lengthy foreclosure processes in certain states. Overall, the positives heavily outweigh the negatives.
Company Guidance
During Velocity Financial's Q3 2024 earnings call, the company provided optimistic guidance based on strong performance metrics. CEO Christopher Farrar highlighted a significant 64% increase in origination volumes compared to the same quarter last year, leading to a net portfolio growth of $876 million, or 22% in total unpaid principal balance (UPB). The weighted average loan-to-value (LTV) decreased to 63%, while net interest income rose by 29%, and net interest margin (NIM) improved by 26 basis points. The special servicing team successfully resolved delinquent assets, contributing to a 3.4% gain over UPB in nonperforming loans. Farrar also noted a record 900 applications in October, amounting to over $450 million in UPB, positioning the company to surpass its $5 billion UPB portfolio goal by 2025. The company’s capital markets activities, including a recent securitization that was six times oversubscribed, achieved a favorable cost of funds of approximately 6%. Overall, Velocity Financial anticipates continued growth and robust market conditions, with the expectation of further earnings increases.
