**BETHESDA, MD – February 21, 2023** – <u>Walker & Dunlop, Inc.</u> (NYSE: WD) (the "Company", "Walker & Dunlop" or "W&D") reported total revenues of $282.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, a decrease of 31% year over year. Fourth quarter total transaction volume was $11.2 billion, down 59% year over year. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $41.5 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, down 48% and 49%, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2021. Fourth quarter 2022 adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> was $92.6 million, down 16% over the same period in 2021. The Company's Board of Directors authorized a 5% increase in the quarterly dividend to $0.63 per share, the fifth consecutive year the dividend has increased.

"The second half of 2022 was extremely challenging due to macroeconomic headwinds and capital markets disruptions caused by aggressive Federal Reserve market intervention. Yet Walker & Dunlop's recurring revenue streams from servicing and asset management, access to counter-cyclical capital from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and market positioning as a trusted advisor to our clients, allowed us to deliver financial results significantly better than the dramatic drop-off in deal volume," commented Walker & Dunlop Chairman and CEO, Willy Walker. "Walker & Dunlop's scaled lending partnerships with the GSEs ended the year as the #1 Fannie Mae DUS® lender for the 4th straight year, #3 Freddie Mac Optigo® lender, and the #1 overall GSE multifamily lender in the country for the first time ever."

Mr. Walker continued, "We remain focused on our five-year business plan, the *Drive to '25,* and have confidence that we will achieve the ambitious goals of $2 billion in revenue and $13 of diluted earnings per share in 2025 due to increased demand for our services coming out of the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle. Our business model is unique in generating both transaction volume growth along with recurring revenues from servicing and asset management fees. And our focus on the multifamily industry, from a transaction and credit exposure standpoint, has been unique and wildly valuable. Our team, brand and technology are positioned to deliver great growth over the coming years."

<u>Discussion of Results</u>***:***

● Total debt financing volume decreased in a challenging macro-economic environment during the fourth quarter of 2022 to $11.2 billion. Despite a slowdown in market wide transaction activity in 2022, Walker & Dunlop's leadership position in the multifamily financing market was evident by its ranking as the #1 Fannie Mae lender for 2022 for the fourth consecutive year, delivering a record market share of 16.5%. Freddie Mac volumes increased 49% in the fourth quarter of 2022, contributing to a record combined GSE market share of 12.7%.

● The decrease in HUD debt financing volumes was due to inflationary impacts on building products and a dramatically increasing interest-rate environment during the quarter, which made HUD's construction and streamlined refinancing products less favorable sources of capital for multifamily properties.

● The decrease in principal lending and investing volume, which includes interim loans, originations for WDIP separate accounts, and interim lending for our joint venture, was a result of the shifting credit market outlook in a volatile interest rate environment that led to a continued conservative approach to bridge lending during the quarter.

● Brokered debt and property sales volume decreased 66% and 64%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022. These declines were the result of challenging macro-economic conditions the decreased liquidity supplied to the commercial real estate sector, and dramatically slowed acquisitions and capital markets activity in the fourth quarter of 2022.

<u>Discussion of Results:</u>

● Our servicing portfolio continues to expand as a result of the strong Fannie Mae and brokered debt financing volumes over the past 12 months, partially offset by principal paydowns and loan payoffs.

*Fourth quarter 2022 Earnings Release*

● During the fourth quarter of 2022, we added $2.4 billion of net loans to our servicing portfolio, and over the past 12 months, we added $7.4 billion of net loans to our servicing portfolio, 78% of which were Fannie Mae loans.

● $7.1 billion of Agency loans in our servicing portfolio are scheduled to mature over the next two years. These loans, with a relatively low weighted-average servicing fee of 18.0 basis points, represent only 6% of the total portfolio.

● The mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") associated with our servicing portfolio had a fair value of $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2022, compared to $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2021. We added net MSRs of $7.5 million in the quarter and $21.4 million over the past 12 months.

● Assets under management ("AUM") as of December 31, 2022 consisted of $14.5 billion of tax-credit equity funds, $1.4 billion of commercial real estate loans and funds, and $0.9 billion of loans in our interim lending joint venture, and drove the 190% growth in investment management revenues from $25.6 million in 2021 to $74.4 million in 2022.

---

<u>Discussion of Results:</u>

● The decrease in Walker & Dunlop net income was the result of a 57% decrease in income from operations, primarily due to the decline in total transaction volume and associated revenues.

● The decrease in adjusted EBITDA was the result of decreases in loan origination fees and property sales broker fees, and an increase in other operating expenses, partially offset by a substantial increase in escrow earnings, higher servicing fees, and lower variable compensation expense.

● Diluted EPS decreased 49% in the fourth quarter of 2022, while adjusted core EPS decreased 38%. Adjusted core EPS is a new non-GAAP financial measure that highlights the core operating performance of our business. Please refer to the sections of this press release below titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," and "Adjusted Core EPS Reconciliation."

● Operating margin decreased due to the aforementioned decrease in income from operations.

● Return on equity declined due to a 9% increase in stockholders' equity over the past year combined with a 48% decrease in net income.

---

<u>Discussion of Results:</u>

● Our at-risk servicing portfolio, which is comprised of loans subject to a defined risk-sharing formula, increased due to the significant level of Fannie Mae loans added to the portfolio during the past 12 months. As of December 31, 2022, there were two defaulted loans. The at-risk servicing portfolio continues to exhibit strong credit quality, with very low levels of delinquencies and strong operating performance of the underlying properties in the portfolio.

● The on-balance sheet interim loan portfolio, which is comprised of loans for which we have full risk of loss, was $206.8 million as of December 31, 2022 compared to $235.5 million as of December 31, 2021. There was one defaulted loan in our interim loan portfolio as of December 31, 2022. We increased the reserve on this loan by $2.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. All other loans in the on-balance sheet interim loan portfolio are current and performing as of December 31, 2022. The interim loan joint venture holds $0.9 billion of loans as of December 31, 2022, compared to $0.8 billion as of December 31, 2021. We share in a small portion of the risk of loss, and as of December 31, 2022, all loans in the interim loan joint venture are current and performing.

<u>Capital Markets - Discussion of Quarterly Results:</u>

*The Capital Markets segment includes our Agency lending, debt brokerage, property sales, and appraisal and valuation services.*

● The decrease in loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net ("origination fees") was the result of the decrease in our overall debt financing volume. The increase in the origination fee margin was largely due to the mix of our origination volume, including an increase in our Freddie Mac debt financing volume and a decrease in our brokered debt financing volume as a percentage of overall debt financing volume.

● The decrease in MSR income is attributable to the decrease in our Agency MSR margins and a decrease in overall debt financing volume. The decline in the Agency MSR margin was primarily related to the declines in our HUD and Fannie Mae volumes, coupled with a decline in the weighted-average servicing fee on our Fannie Mae loans, as spreads tightened due to rapidly rising interest rates.

● The decrease in property sales broker fees was driven by the 64% decrease in property sales volume year over year, driven by economic uncertainty that caused a broad slowdown in acquisitions activity across the commercial real estate sector.

● The increase in other revenues was primarily due to an increase in appraisal revenues due to consolidating Apprise after our acquisition of GeoPhy in Q1 2022. The operating results for the fourth quarter of 2022 include appraisal revenue, while the operating results for the fourth quarter of 2021 do not, as we accounted for our investment in Apprise under the equity method in 2021.

*Fourth quarter 2022 Earnings Release*

● The decrease in personnel expense was primarily a result of the decrease in commissions expense due to the decline in property sales broker fees and origination fees. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits costs due to (i) the GeoPhy acquisition and (ii) consolidating Apprise after our acquisition of GeoPhy. The operating results for the fourth quarter of 2022 include compensation costs for Apprise, while the operating results for the fourth quarter of 2021 do not as we accounted for our investment in Apprise under the equity method in 2021.

● The increase in interest expense on corporate debt was primarily driven by the sharp increase in interest rates year over year, as our term loan carries a floating interest rate.

● Other operating expenses decreased primarily due to a net reduction related to our periodic revaluation of performance based earnouts. The net fair value adjustment reflects actual results to date for the acquired businesses, and the expected impact of the current macroeconomic conditions on the timing and achievement of the earnout milestones. This decrease was partially offset by increased travel and entertainment expenses, which were still impacted by the effects of the pandemic in the fourth quarter of 2021.

<u>Servicing & Asset Management - Discussion of Quarterly Results:</u>

*The Servicing & Asset Management segment includes loan servicing, principal lending and investing, management of third-party capital invested in tax credit equity funds focused on the affordable housing sector and other commercial real estate, and real estate-related investment banking and advisory services, including housing market research.*

● The $7.4 billion net increase in the servicing portfolio over the past 12 months was the principal driver of the growth in servicing fees year over year, partially offset by a slight decrease in the servicing portfolio's weighted-average servicing fee.

● Investment management fees increased primarily due to the added revenues from Alliant, with only limited comparable activity in the prior year period as the acquisition of Alliant occurred late in the fourth quarter of 2021.

● Escrow earnings and other interest income increased as a result of higher escrow earnings due to substantially higher short-term interest rates, partially offset by a smaller average escrow balance.

*Fourth quarter 2022 Earnings Release*

● Other revenues decreased primarily due to a decline in prepayment fees, partially offset by gains from our equity method investments.

● Personnel expense increased year over year primarily due to higher salaries, benefits, and bonus costs due to the acquisition of Alliant.

● Amortization and depreciation decreased as a result of lower prepayments in our servicing portfolio due to rising interest rates, partially offset by an increase in amortization of intangible assets from the recent acquisitions.

● The significant increase in interest expense on corporate debt is the result of an increase in the balance of corporate debt to support the acquisition of Alliant late in 2021, coupled with a sharp increase in interest rates year over year, as our term loan carries a floating interest rate. We also incurred additional interest expense related to a fixed-rate note payable assumed in the acquisition of Alliant late in the fourth quarter of 2021.

● The increase in other operating expenses was largely attributable to increases in professional fees and other operating expenses due to the operations of Alliant, for which there was limited comparable activity in the prior quarter, as the acquisition occurred late in the fourth quarter of 2021.

<u>Corporate - Discussion of Quarterly Results:</u>

*The Corporate segment consists of corporate-level activities including accounting, information technology, legal, human resources, marketing, internal audit, and various other corporate groups ("support functions"). The Company does not allocate costs from these support functions to its other segments in presenting segment operating results.*

● Personnel expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in performance-based variable compensation, as costs for both subjective bonus and performance stock plans decreased substantially compared to the prior year period. Due to our overall financial performance, the bonus pools for our senior executive officers, other senior management, and the general employee bonus pool were funded at 25%, 50%, and 75% of their respective targets.

● Other operating expenses increased primarily due to (i) increased office expenses assumed in the acquisitions of Zelman, Alliant and GeoPhy and lease for our new headquarters, (ii) increased other professional fees from acquisition related activity, (iii) and an increase in travel and entertainment expenses, which were still impacted by the effects of the pandemic during 2021.

---

<u>Discussion of Results:</u>

● The decrease in total transaction volume was driven by a 52% decrease in HUD transaction volume, a 13% decrease in brokered transaction volume, and a 77% decrease in principal lending volume, partially offset by a 7% increase in Fannie Mae transaction volume.

● The decrease in Walker & Dunlop net income was the result of a 25% decrease in income from operations primarily due to lower transaction volumes in our higher margin Fannie Mae and HUD executions.

● The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily a result of increases in (i) servicing fees, (ii) escrow earnings, and (iii) revenues from the recent acquisitions of Alliant and Zelman, with minimal comparable revenue in the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in transaction related revenues and increases in personnel expenses from the aforementioned recent acquisitions.

● Diluted EPS decreased 22% in 2022, while our adjusted core EPS decreased 11% year over year.

● Operating margin declined primarily due to the significant decrease in transaction related revenues and an increase in the cost of borrowing due to sharp increases in interest rates over the past year.

● Return on equity declined due to a 9% increase in stockholders' equity over the past year, combined with the 20% decrease in net income.

<u>Capital Markets - Discussion of Full Year Results:</u>

● The decrease in loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net ("origination fees") was primarily the result of a decrease in our total financing volume, which included a significant decrease in brokered financing volume, as well as a decrease in our origination fee rate.

● The decrease in MSR income was primarily related to (i) a 52% decrease in HUD transaction volume and (ii) a decrease in the weighted-average servicing fee on Fannie Mae volume, due to spread compression caused by the rapid increases in interest rates, partially offset by the slight increase in Fannie Mae volumes.

● The increase in other revenues was primarily due to an increase in research subscription revenues following the acquisition of Zelman in Q3 2021 and appraisal revenues due to consolidating Apprise after our acquisition of GeoPhy in Q1 2022. The operating results for 2022 include appraisal revenue, while the operating results for 2021 do not as we accounted for our investment in Apprise under the equity method in 2021.

● Personnel expense decreased as a result of a decrease in commissions expense due to the decline in origination fees, partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits costs due to the recent consolidation of Apprise after our acquisition of GeoPhy.

● The increase in interest expense on corporate debt was primarily driven by the sharp increase in interest rates year over year, as our term loan carries a floating interest rate.

● Other operating expenses decreased primarily due to a fair value adjustment related to our periodic revaluation of performance based earnouts that reduced our contingent consideration liability, partially offset by increased travel and entertainment expenses, which were still impacted by the effects of the pandemic throughout 2021.

● Investment management fees and other revenues increased primarily due to the additions of income from our recent acquisition of Alliant, partially offset by a decrease in prepayment fees.

● Personnel expense increased year over year principally as a result of higher salaries, benefits, and bonus costs due to the acquisition of Alliant.

● Amortization and depreciation increased as a result of the growth in the average balance of MSRs outstanding year over year offset by a decrease in prepayment activity . Additionally, we had a substantial increase in amortization of intangible assets as a result of our acquisitions over the past year.

<u>Corporate - Discussion of Full Year Results:</u>

● Other revenues increased primarily due to the acquisition of GeoPhy. As part of that acquisition, we acquired GeoPhy's 50% ownership interest in Apprise. The revaluation of our existing 50% ownership interest in Apprise resulted in a $39.6 million increase in other revenues and was a one-time benefit in the first quarter of 2022.

● Personnel expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in performance-based variable compensation as costs for both subjective bonus and performance stock plans decreased compared to the prior year period, partially offset by increased salaries and benefits costs due to an increase in the average headcount year over year.

● Other operating expenses increased primarily due to (i) increased office expenses assumed in the acquisitions of Zelman, Alliant and GeoPhy and lease for our new headquarters, (ii) increased other professional fees from acquisition related activity, (iii) and an increase in travel and entertainment expenses, which were still impacted by the effects of the pandemic during 2021.

**CAPITAL SOURCES AND USES**

On February 20, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.63 per share for the first quarter of 2023, a 5% increase. This is the fifth consecutive annual increase in the Company's dividend and represents 152% growth in the dividend since it was initiated in 2018. The dividend will be paid on March 23, 2023 to all holders of record of the Company's restricted and unrestricted common stock as of March 8, 2023.

On January 12, 2023, the Company closed a $200 million incremental loan under its senior secured term loan facility. The incremental term loan bears interest at a rate equal to adjusted Term SOFR plus 3.00% per annum and matures in December 2028. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay $115 million of debt assumed in the Company's acquisition of Alliant and strengthen its balance sheet for general corporate purposes.

During the first quarter of 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock over a 12-month period ending February 12, 2023 ("2022 Share Repurchase Program"). During 2022, the Company repurchased 0.1 million shares of its common stock under the share repurchase program at a weighted average price of $101.77 per share and immediately retired the shares, reducing stockholders' equity by $11.1 million. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $63.9 million of authorized share repurchase capacity remaining under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program.

On February 20, 2023, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $75 million of the Company's outstanding common stock over a 12-month period ending February 23, 2024 ("2023 Share Repurchase Program").

Any purchases made pursuant to the 2023 Share Repurchase Program will be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time as permitted by federal securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure the Company presents to help investors better understand our operating performance. For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, refer to the sections of this press release below titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," "Adjusted Financial Measure Reconciliation to GAAP" and "Adjusted Financial Measure Reconciliation to GAAP by Segment."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Brokered transactions for life insurance companies, commercial banks, and other capital sources.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Adjusted core EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure the Company presents to help investors better understand our operating performance. For a reconciliation of Adjusted core EPS to Diluted EPS, refer to the sections of this press release below titled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," and "Adjusted Core EPS Reconciliation."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net as a percentage of debt financing volume. Excludes the income and debt financing volume from Principal Lending and Investing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(6) MSR income as a percentage of debt financing volume. Excludes the income and debt financing volume from Principal Lending and Investing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(7) MSR income as a percentage of Agency debt financing volume.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(8) At-risk servicing portfolio is defined as the balance of Fannie Mae DUS loans subject to the risk-sharing formula described below, as well as a small number of Freddie Mac loans on which we share in the risk of loss. Use of the at-risk portfolio provides for comparability of the full risk-sharing and modified risk-sharing loans because the provision and allowance for risk-sharing obligations are based on the at-risk balances of the associated loans. Accordingly, we have presented the key statistics as a percentage of the at-risk portfolio.

For example, a $15 million loan with 50% risk-sharing has the same potential risk exposure as a $7.5 million loan with full DUS risk sharing. Accordingly, if the $15 million loan with 50% risk-sharing were to default, we would view the overall loss as a percentage of the at-risk balance, or $7.5 million, to ensure comparability between all risk-sharing obligations. To date, substantially all of the risk-sharing obligations that we have settled have been from full risk-sharing loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(9) Represents the maximum loss we would incur under our risk-sharing obligations if all of the loans we service, for which we retain some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. The maximum exposure is not representative of the actual loss we would incur.

**<br>ABOUT WALKER & DUNLOP**

Walker & Dunlop (NYSE: WD) is one of the largest providers of capital to the commercial real estate industry in the United States, enabling real estate owners and operators to bring their visions of communities — where people live, work, shop and play — to life. Our people, brand, and technology make W&D one of the most insightful and customer-focused firms in our industry. With more than 1,400 employees across every major U.S. market, Walker & Dunlop has consistently been named one of *Fortune*'s Great Places to Work<sup>®</sup> and is committed to making the commercial real estate industry more inclusive and diverse while creating meaningful social, environmental, and economic change in our communities.

**NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES** 

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income, and adjusted core EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, readers should use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income, and adjusted core EPS in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income and diluted EPS.

Adjusted core net income and adjusted core EPS represent net income adjusted for amortization and depreciation, provision (benefit) for credit losses net of write-offs, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net, the income statement impact from periodic revaluation and accretion associated with contingent consideration liabilities related to acquired companies, and other one-time adjustments, such as the gain associated with the revaluation of our previously held equity-method investment in connection with our acquisition of GeoPhy and one-time benefit to tax expense related to our corporate restructuring and repatriation of intellectual property acquired from GeoPhy. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest expense on our term loan facility and Alliant's note payable, and amortization and depreciation, adjusted for provision (benefit) for credit losses net of write-offs, stock-based incentive compensation charges, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net, and non-cash charges associated with the extinguishment of long-term debt, and the gain associated with the revaluation of our previously held equity-method investment in connection with our acquisition of GeoPhy. Furthermore, adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management's discretionary use, as it does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for adjusted EBITDA may also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges that are used to determine compliance with financial covenants. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income and adjusted core EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

We use adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income, and adjusted core EPS to evaluate the operating performance of our business, for comparison with forecasts and strategic plans and for benchmarking performance externally against competitors. We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information, provide useful information to investors by offering:

● the ability to make more meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company's on-going operating results;

● the ability to better identify trends in the Company's underlying business and perform related trend analyses; and

● a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company's underlying business.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these non-GAAP financial measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the Company's GAAP financial information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) This balance consists entirely of interim loan joint venture managed loans. We indirectly share in a portion of the risk of loss associated with interim loan joint venture managed loans through our 15% equity ownership in the joint venture. We had no exposure to risk of loss for the loans serviced directly for our interim loan joint venture partner. The balance of this line is included as a component of assets under management in the Supplemental Operating Data table.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) At-risk servicing portfolio is defined as the balance of Fannie Mae DUS loans subject to the risk-sharing formula described below, as well as a small number of Freddie Mac loans on which we share in the risk of loss. Use of the at-risk portfolio provides for comparability of the full risk-sharing and modified risk-sharing loans because the provision and allowance for risk-sharing obligations are based on the at-risk balances of the associated loans. Accordingly, we have presented the key statistics as a percentage of the at-risk portfolio. For example, a $15 million loan with 50% risk-sharing has the same potential risk exposure as a $7.5 million loan with full DUS risk sharing. Accordingly, if the $15 million loan with 50% risk-sharing were to default, we would view the overall loss as a percentage of the at-risk balance, or $7.5 million, to ensure comparability between all risk-sharing obligations. To date, substantially all of the risk-sharing obligations that we have settled have been from full risk-sharing loans.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Represents the maximum loss we would incur under our risk-sharing obligations if all of the loans we service, for which we retain some risk of loss, were to default and all of the collateral underlying these loans was determined to be without value at the time of settlement. The maximum exposure is not representative of the actual loss we would incur.
