INDIANAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stonegate Mortgage Corporation ("Stonegate Mortgage" or the "Company") (NYSE:SGM), a leading, non-bank mortgage company focused on originating, financing and servicing U.S. residential mortgage loans, today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
“Our third quarter results reflect solid business execution during a period of rising interest rates and underscore the strength of our differentiated, vertically integrated and scalable mortgage banking platform,” said Jim Cutillo, Chief Executive Officer of Stonegate Mortgage. “Our three lines of business--mortgage originations, mortgage servicing and mortgage financing--complement each other and create a natural hedge against interest rate volatility and business cyclicality, an important factor in our performance. Having completed our IPO, we continue to execute our growth strategy as evidenced by our recently announced acquisitions which will accelerate our geographic expansion, add talented senior executives and enhance our ability to serve a broader range of mortgage brokers and regional banks. We are confident in our ability to integrate these businesses, which will help fuel our growth and create near and long-term shareholder value for our investors."
Net income for the third quarter was $1.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $9.1 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2013 and $9.5 million, or $1.00 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2012.
Adjusted net income was $6.1 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2013, after adjusting for non-cash valuation adjustments, certain other non-cash expense items and ramp-up and other non-routine expenses. Adjusted net income was $8.4 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013 and $7.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the third quarter 2012. Refer to page 8 for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Revenues decreased 27% to $32.3 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $44.3 million in the second quarter of 2013 and were up 3% from $31.4 million in the third quarter of 2012.
Adjusted revenues decreased 4% to $37.8 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $39.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 and were up 50% from $25.2 million in the third quarter of 2012. Refer to page 7 for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Mortgage loan origination volume increased 12%, to $2.3 billion during the third quarter of 2013 from $2.1 billion in originations in the second quarter of 2013 and grew 123% from origination volume of $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 2012.
The Company's servicing portfolio, as measured by unpaid principal balance (“UPB”), ended the third quarter 2013 at $9.7 billion, an increase of 28% from second quarter 2013 ending UPB of $7.6 billion, and up 229% over the third quarter 2012 ending UPB of $2.9 billion.

We calculate adjusted revenues, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS as performance measures, which are considered non-GAAP financial measures, to further aid our investors in understanding and analyzing our core operating results and comparing them among periods. Adjusted revenues exclude non-cash fair valuation adjustments related to our mortgage loans held for sale and related derivative assets and liabilities, as well as the bargain purchase gain from our 2012 acquisition of NattyMac, which we do not consider part of our core revenues. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS also exclude certain items that we do not consider part of our core operating results including expenses related to the financing of our term loan, certain other non-cash expense items and ramp-up costs associated with the launch of our non-agency jumbo loan origination program. These ramp-up costs include the advance hiring of servicing and originations staff, recruiting expenses, travel, licensing and legal expenses. In addition, adjusted net income excludes certain other non-routine income and expenses, primarily non-deferrable expenses associated with our private equity and initial public offerings and acquisition costs related to NattyMac. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total revenues, income before income taxes, net income or diluted EPS prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are performance measures and are presented to provide additional information about our core operations.
