The primary engine behind the turnaround was a surge in refinance activity, with origination volume reaching $44.94 billion, up 39% year-over-year, as borrowers rushed to lock in rates and total gain margin expanded to 123 basis points from 94 basis points a year ago. Loan production income climbed 82% year-over-year to $554.57 million, while the company's growing servicing portfolio, now carrying an unpaid principal balance of $229.50 billion, contributed $213.38 million in loan servicing income. Adjusted EBITDA of $160.91 million rose nearly threefold from Q1 2025's $57.80 million, reflecting the improving earnings quality. Looking ahead, UWM expects to have substantially all loans serviced in-house by October 2026, ahead of schedule, a shift management believes will improve borrower retention and drive long-term shareholder value regardless of the rate environment.

“Q1 was an exceptional quarter for UWM and our second‑best first quarter of all time. The last time we delivered results of this magnitude, interest rates were nearly 50% lower, which underscores the strength, scale and resilience of our business. Our team and broker partners executed at the highest level, using UWM's proprietary technology and AI‑powered tools like Mia to win more loans, more efficiently, every day. We continue to move ahead of schedule with bringing servicing in‑house, and regardless of whether rates stay higher or move lower, we are positioned to keep winning as we are built to perform through all cycles. This quarter is a clear proof point of that.”
