PSMH: June Loan Production Better than Expected
Ann Heffron, CFA
PSM Holdings, Inc. (PSMH) announced that it had achieved $57 million in loan production for the month of June, a record for the Company, and up 15% from May’s $49.7 million. For the 2012 fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, loan production was about $422 million, a gain of 194% from fiscal 2011’s $143.7 million, largely reflecting the acquisition of five companies within the last 15 months.
Positively, June loan origination volume was about $7 million higher than our estimate, a creditable performance in this environment. According to PSMH, year-to-date loan production consisted of 51% new purchase and 49% refinance transactions, and 44% were closed through conventional loans and 56% were closed through government type loans.
Despite better-than-expected loan production for June, we are making no changes to our earnings estimates at this time. PSMH should report fiscal fourth quarter earnings for the period ending June 30, 2012 in mid-September, as it typically does.
