Walker & Dunlop reported a challenging fourth quarter of 2025, characterized by a net loss of $13.9 million despite a 36% increase in total transaction volume to $18.3 billion. Financial results were heavily impacted by $66.2 million in expenses related to asset impairments and costs from indemnified and repurchased loans, primarily stemming from a borrower fraud investigation. While core capital markets activity showed strong momentum, the company's bottom line and adjusted EBITDA suffered significantly from these non-recurring charges.
Total transaction volume grew 36% year-over-year to $18.3 billion, driven by a 77% increase in brokered debt financing.
The company reported a net loss of $13.9 million and a diluted loss per share of $0.41, down 131% from Q4 2024.
Results were impacted by $35.5 million in indemnified and repurchased loan expenses and $26.1 million in asset impairment charges.
The servicing portfolio reached $144.0 billion, a 6% increase year-over-year, providing a stable base of recurring revenue.
Walker & Dunlop is focused on moving past non-recurring impairment and fraud-related charges to leverage strong transaction momentum and its large servicing portfolio for growth in 2026.
