Michael Strauss, American Home’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “As has been well publicized, the first quarter was a difficult period for mortgage lenders. Our company also found the first quarter to be challenging. During the quarter, a severe disruption in the secondary mortgage market caused the prices we received for our loan production to be far less than in previous quarters. Specifically, our company’s gain on sale margin excluding delinquency related charges was 1.09% during the first quarter compared to 1.52% during the fourth quarter of 2006. Also, during the first quarter our company set aside a record level of reserves for delinquency related charges including $60.5 million of reserving associated with our loans held for sale. This high level of reserving caused our gain on sale margin net of loans held for sale delinquency reserves to be 0.74% in the first quarter compared to 1.42% in the fourth quarter of 2006. Finally, during the first quarter our company experienced a loss in the value of the mortgage-backed securities and hedges in our mortgage holdings segment. These factors caused our company’s first quarter income to be significantly reduced despite gains in net interest income stemming from improved portfolio and warehouse spreads and despite strong revenue from mortgage servicing. While I am disappointed by our company’s results, our company will always be susceptible to significant disruptions in the secondary mortgage market. It does appear that the secondary market is stabilizing. During April, more loan buyers have been bidding to buy our loan pools. Additionally, spreads on some junior mortgage securities have retraced a portion of the sharp widening that occurred in March, junior mortgage securities are trading in a more orderly fashion, and the ABX index is off its lows. We will have to see how market conditions develop as the year progresses. For now, however, our company’s working assumption, which is incorporated into our earnings guidance, is that our gain on sale margins, excluding delinquency related charges, will continue near the low levels we experienced during the first quarter. While our company remains susceptible to disruptions in the secondary mortgage market, we can and have taken actions to reduce our delinquency related charges. It is important to note that most of our company’s delinquency related expenses are not due to delinquency in our portfolio, but instead result from early payment defaults on loans sold that we were required to repurchase, or on loans we hold pending sale. Indeed, 87% of the first quarter’s delinquency related charges stem from our loans held for sale, not our portfolio. Moreover, the vast majority of our delinquent loans held for sale are due to our previously offering a particular type of product, namely stated income loans where a high portion of a home’s value is borrowed. These types of loans have accounted for approximately 15% of our loan production, but resulted in 73% of our delinquent loans held for sale at March 31, 2007. Our company discontinued offering the high loan-to-value, stated income loans that resulted in the great majority of our delinquency related charges, generally in late February. As a result, our company is now in a “tail” period that will include repurchasing loans that were recently sold and are still inside the period in which our sale is subject to repurchase, which is usually three months. As the tail period winds down, our company’s delinquency related charges should begin to diminish. During the first quarter, our company’s delinquency related charges were increased both due to reserving for new delinquencies and due to reserving because we increased the loss severity assumption for all delinquent loans held for sale. Increased severity assumptions are due to ongoing weakness in home prices and long home marketing periods. This change in assumptions is the reason first quarter delinquency related charges were disproportionately greater than increases to delinquent loans held for sale. During the first quarter, our company increased the loss severity assumption associated with our contingent reserve for repurchases. One bright note for the first quarter and for April of 2007 is that our loan application volume remains reasonably strong despite our no longer offering those products that resulted in higher delinquency. Our application volume appears to be benefiting from reduced competition and strong demand for refinancing. Based on current application run rates, our 2007 loan production volume guidance of $68 billion to $74 billion remains unchanged. During the first quarter, our company did achieve a record for loan production of $16.7 billion and for market share of 2.54%. As described in the headline of this earnings release, our company is reducing its full year 2007 earnings guidance to $3.25 to $3.75 per share. The reduction assumes continued weakness in the secondary mortgage markets with little improvement in our company’s gain on sale margin. It also assumes a gradual reduction in delinquency related charges associated with selling and repurchasing those loan products our company has discontinued offering. Our projection is that our company’s earnings per share will increase sequentially with earnings in the second quarter exceeding those in the first quarter, and earnings in the third and fourth quarter continuing to modestly improve. Our company is reaffirming its $0.70 per share per quarter dividend policy. Please note, however, that our company is only obligated to pay dividends upon dividends being declared by our Board of Directors, and that the dividend policy is subject to change at any time without prior notice.” FIRST QUARTER RESULTS During the first quarter, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). As a result of the adoption of SFAS 159, the Company recorded a reduction to the January 1, 2007 opening balance of retained earnings and an offsetting decrease to other comprehensive loss of $54.5 million. The net effect of these two entries did not change the Company’s book value, but did reduce both retained earnings and other comprehensive loss by a like amount. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company’s net interest income, plus the positive carry from interest rate swaps, was $64.3 million compared to $48.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. Of the $64.3 million, $19.0 million was from portfolio loans, $18.3 million was from mortgage-backed securities, $3.8 million was from swaps associated with mortgage-backed securities, $2.8 million was from American Home Bank, and $33.9 million was from loans in warehouse, reduced by $13.5 million of net interest expense on trust preferred securities, the financing of servicing assets, and other. By comparison, the components of the $48.9 million of net interest income, plus the positive carry from interest rate swaps, earned in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $12.4 million from portfolio loans, $14.7 million from mortgage-backed securities, $6.3 million from swaps associated with mortgage-backed securities, $0.6 million was from American Home Bank and $26.8 million from loans in warehouse, including loans held for investment pending securitization, reduced by $11.9 million of interest expense on trust preferred securities and the financing of servicing assets. During the first quarter of 2007, portfolio loans earned a net interest margin of 1.56% and had an average balance of $4.9 billion, compared to a net interest margin of 1.42% and an average balance of $3.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006. During the first quarter, mortgage-backed securities had an average balance of $8.7 billion, earned a net interest margin on a stand-alone basis of 0.84%, and earned a net interest margin including income from associated swaps of 1.01%. By comparison, in the fourth quarter of 2006, mortgage-backed securities had an average balance of $9.2 billion, earned net interest margin on a stand-alone basis of 0.64%, and earned a net interest margin including income from associated swaps of 0.91%. In the first quarter, loans in warehouse, including loans held for investment pending securitization, had an average balance of $9.9 billion and earned a net interest margin of 1.37%. By comparison, during the fourth quarter of 2006, loans in warehouse, including loans held for investment pending securitization, had an average balance of $10.0 billion and earned a net interest margin of 1.08%. During the first quarter, the Company’s provision expense associated with loans held for investment was $9.1 million, while its quarter-end allowance for loan loss balance was $16.6 million and its non-performing loans held for investment were $96.1 million. By comparison, for the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company’s provision expense was $6.7 million, while its quarter-end allowance for loan loss balance was $14.2 million and its non-performing loans held for investment were $82.4 million. Additionally, in the first quarter, the Company’s gain on sale was reduced by $60.5 million to account for additional reserving against the Company’s loans held for sale and additions to its contingent reserve for repurchases. At quarter-end, reserves associated with delinquent loans held for sale were $52.8 million, while non-performing loans held for sale were $242.9 million. By comparison, in the fourth quarter, additions to reserves charged to gain on sale were $14.5 million, reserves associated with loans held for sale were $22.0 million, and non-performing loans held for sale were $124.3 million. Throughout the first quarter, the Company continued to pursue a strategy of matching the duration of its portfolio assets with the duration of its liabilities, net of hedges. At March 31, 2007, the composition of the Company’s loans held for investment and loans underlying its mortgage-backed securities was 43.7% 5/1 ARM loans, 28.7% short reset ARMs, 15.8% fixed rate loans, 5.1% 7/1 ARM loans, 1.9% 3/1 ARM loans, 1.4% HELOC and closed-end seconds, and 3.4% other ARM types. On March 31, 2007, the mortgage-backed securities portfolio’s duration, net of liabilities and hedges, was estimated to be 0.01 years and its projected average life was 2.27 years. The composition of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio by credit quality based on Standard & Poor’s ratings was 92.1% Agency and AAA, 5.0% AA, A, and BBB and 2.9% BB, B, and unrated. During the first quarter, the Company’s loan originations were $16.7 billion compared to $15.5 billion in the fourth quarter of last year. During the first quarter, the Company sold $13.3 billion of loans to third parties, and retained $3.8 billion of loans at the end of the quarter which were marked to their fair value in accordance with FAS 159. These loans were carried on the Company’s books at quarter-end in part because of adverse market conditions in March. Most of these loans have been sold in April as a result of improved market conditions. During the first quarter, the Company’s gross gain on sale excluding reserving for delinquencies was $187.4 million equal to a gross gain on sale margin of 1.09% on loans sold or marked. By comparison, during last year’s fourth quarter, the Company sold $14.3 billion of loans to third parties for a gross gain on sale excluding reserving for delinquencies of $217.4 million equal to a gross gain on sale margin of 1.52%. The Company’s gain on sale net of additions to its reserves for delinquent loans held for sale of $71.2 million was $126.8 million in the first quarter compared to $202.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 which included additions to reserves for delinquent loans held for sale of $29.0 million. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company’s loan origination expenses were $161.2 million, or 0.94% of loans sold including the increase in loans carried at fair value, or 0.96% of loans originated, compared to $157.9 million, or 1.11% of loans sold, or 1.02% of loans originated in the fourth quarter of 2006. The Company estimates that its national market share, based on Freddie Mac’s recent, revised estimate of national market size, was 2.54% in the first quarter compared to 2.21% in last year’s fourth quarter and 1.87% during the first quarter of 2006. At the end of the first quarter, the Company employed approximately 2,520 loan officers and account executives, including call center representatives, but excluding sales assistants, compared to approximately 2,450 on December 31, 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company’s servicing income and ancillary fees were $46.1 million gross, and $21.2 million net of $24.9 million of reduction of fair value due to realization of servicing cash flows. By comparison, during the fourth quarter of 2006, servicing income and ancillary fees were $47.3 million gross, and $18.4 million net of $28.9 million reduction of fair value due to realization of servicing cash flows. At the end of the first quarter, the principal amount of the loans underlying the Company’s servicing assets was $39.6 billion. By comparison, the amount of loans underlying the Company’s servicing assets at the end of last year’s fourth quarter was $38.5 billion. The principal amount of the servicing portfolio, including warehouse loans, was $50.4 billion at the end of the first quarter and $46.3 billion at the end of last year’s fourth quarter. The Company’s total revenues in the first quarter of 2007 were $197.2 million. Of these revenues, $60.5 million was from net interest income, $126.8 million was from gain on mortgage loans including origination fees and net of hedges and additions to loss reserves, $46.1 million was from mortgage servicing fees, $3.8 million was from interest carry on free-standing swaps and $3.1 million was from other sources. Revenues were decreased by $24.9 million due to realization of servicing cash flows; $1.1 million due to a decrease in the value of servicing due to changes in assumptions net of hedges; $8.0 million due to realized and unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities and derivatives held, net of hedges and $9.1 million due to provisioning for loan losses. During the first quarter, the Company’s expenses were $179.2 million, and the Company’s pre-tax income was $18.0 million. Also during the quarter, the Company’s tax benefit was $12.7 million. Consequently, net income for the quarter was $30.7 million while preferred dividends were $3.3 million and net income available to common stockholders was $27.4 million, resulting in earnings per diluted share of $0.54. Book value attributable to common stockholders at March 31, 2007 was $1.09 billion, or $21.68 per common share, compared to $1.14 billion, or $22.64 per common share, at December 31, 2006. EARNINGS OUTLOOK As described above, the Company is reducing its full year 2007 earnings guidance to $3.25 to $3.75 per share. The new guidance reflects an expectation that quarterly earnings will modestly increase sequentially throughout the year, with each successive quarter through the year coming in modestly ahead of the previous quarter. Underlying the Company’s earnings guidance is the assumption that gain on sale margins will continue near the depressed levels of the first quarter through the balance of the year. Also underlying earnings guidance is the assumption that delinquency related charges on discontinued products will diminish gradually as the year progresses. It is important to note that actual results, which are different than the assumptions, may prevent the Company from achieving its earnings guidance, and may instead result in losses. In addition, factors other than the assumptions listed herein may cause the Company to fail to achieve its earnings guidance and may result in losses as more fully described under Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, investors should note that mortgage lending and mortgage investment have recently been adversely affected by a number of factors that have also affected the Company, and which are generally beyond the Company’s control. Any one or more of these factors may reduce the Company’s income or lead to losses. These factors include poor conditions for securitizing mortgage loans, reduced prices for mortgage loans, falling housing prices, reduced housing activity, rising mortgage delinquencies, downgrades of junior mortgage securities and the potential for additional laws and regulation. The Company cautions that investors should carefully consider each of these factors and should also carefully read each of the Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report. DIVIDEND POLICY Based on the Company’s projections for earnings and cash flow, the Company’s dividend policy of $0.70 per quarter or $2.80 on an annualized basis is being maintained. The Company's dividend policy does not constitute an obligation to pay dividends, which only occurs when its Board of Directors declares a dividend. The dividend policy is subject to ongoing review by the Board of Directors based on, among other things, the Company's business prospects, financial condition, earnings projections and cash flow projections, and the Board may, when it deems doing so is advisable, lower or eliminate the dividend without prior notice.
