Jay Bray, CEO, was positive on the results and said:
"Our servicing segment delivered on our profitability goal by improving delinquency levels which resulted in higher base servicing fees and continued to focus on driving down expenses that have the most impact to our profitability. Our originations team also met its primary goal to replenish our servicing portfolio in a cost effective manner by funding $5 billion in mortgages, the highest volume since the fourth quarter of 2013. Furthermore, Xome continues to simplify real estate transactions by enabling buyers, sellers and real estate professionals to successfully operate in the most efficient, transparent manner possible."
