PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust reported a net income attributable to common shareholders of $458.4 million, or $4.51 per common share on a diluted basis, for the second quarter of 2020. This was driven by record Correspondent Production segment results and a partial recovery in the fair value of government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) credit risk transfer (CRT) investments.
Net income attributable to common shareholders was $458.4 million, a significant increase from the prior quarter's net loss of $600.9 million.
Book value per common share was $19.39 at June 30, 2020, up from $15.16 at March 31, 2020.
