A significant quarter-over-quarter decline in home lending at PennyMac Financial Services Inc. contributed to a sharp drop in earnings. Staffing also contracted.
Pre-tax income during the first-three months of 2017 was $62 million at the Westlake Village, California-based firm, sinking from $129 million the prior quarter.
PennyMac presented the results, in addition to other financial and operational metrics, as part of its earnings report for the first quarter of this year.
