Walker & Dunlop Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
BETHESDA, MD – AUGUST 6, 2026 – Walker & Dunlop, Inc. (NYSE: WD) (the “Company”, “Walker & Dunlop” or “W&D”) reported second quarter 2026 financial results.
KEY FINANCIAL METRICS
● Total transaction volume of $14.4 billion, up 3% from Q2’25
● Total revenues of $306.7 million, down 4% from Q2’25
● Net income of $3.0 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.09, both down 91% from Q2’25
● Adjusted core EPS(1) of $1.19, up 3% from Q2’25
● Servicing portfolio of $145.8 billion as of June 30, 2026, up 6% from June 30, 2025
● Year-to-date GSE market share is 14.7%, compared to 11.2% in 2025
“Walker & Dunlop continues to demonstrate the strength and resilience of our commercial real estate capital markets platform by gaining market share with the GSEs, expanding our capital markets capabilities, and generating durable, recurring cash flows from our servicing and asset management businesses,” said Willy Walker, Chairman and CEO.
“While our Q2 financial results reflect the impact of the legacy repurchases and associated credit marks, we are nearing the conclusion of these reviews which have strengthened our underwriting processes along with our partnerships with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The GSE’s have a tremendous amount of lending capacity for the remainder of 2026, and after expanding W&D’s market share by 3.5% in the first half of 2026 to 15%, we see plenty of opportunity going forward.”
Walker continued, “Our focus now firmly turns to the Journey to ’30, our five-year strategic growth plan to become the best commercial real estate capital markets company in the world by expanding the services we offer, the depth of our client relationships, and generating long-term value for our shareholders.”
The Capital Markets team generated $14.4 billion of total transaction volume, up 3% from a year ago. Debt financing volume increased 8%, led by 43% growth in HUD originations and 17% growth in brokered lending, reflecting the continued expansion of capital relationships beyond the Agencies. The servicing portfolio grew 6%, to $145.8 billion, providing durable recurring revenue and cash flow while deepening the client relationships that create future financing and advisory opportunities.
Year-to-date, debt financing volume increased 44% to $24.3 billion within a complex macroeconomic and interest rate environment, reinforcing our confidence in the long-term earnings power of Walker & Dunlop’s platform as improving market activity continues to create opportunities across the business.
Results this quarter include $23.2 million of operating and credit-related expenses associated with legacy indemnified and repurchased loans. A large of portion of these charges is concentrated in loans associated with a small number of fraudulent sponsors we previously identified. These charges do not reflect new or increasing repurchase exposure in our overall portfolio. We are actively executing our disposition strategy for the repurchased loan portfolio, reducing that exposure by $39.4 million since quarter end to $153.8 million, and we have $41.7 million of credit-related reserves against that remaining portfolio.

Second quarter 2026 Earnings Release
(1) 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.”
● Total transaction volume increased 3%, to $14.4 billion, as transaction activity remained healthy across the commercial real estate market.
● Although GSE debt financing volumes decreased 10% year over year, our market share with the GSEs increased year over year.
● Growth in brokered lending reflects strong lender participation across numerous third-party capital sources during the quarter, demonstrating the availability of capital at this time in the cycle, and the breadth of our financing capabilities across executions and property types.
● Property sales volume remained active despite continued market volatility, as investment decisions across the multifamily sector continued to be influenced by operating fundamentals, interest rate expectations and transaction timing.

Second quarter 2026 Earnings Release
The table above excludes income tax expense (benefit) and income or loss from noncontrolling interests and temporary equity holders.
(1) Loan origination and debt brokerage fees, net (“Origination fees”) as a percentage of debt financing volume. Excludes the income and debt financing volume from Principal Lending and Investing.
(2) Fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net of guaranty obligation (“MSR income”) as a percentage of Agency debt financing volume.
● Revenues declined 2% primarily due to a greater mix of brokered transactions relative to GSE lending and a corresponding reduction to MSR income.
● Brokered activity increased 17% supporting the overall performance of the segment, while reflecting the scale of our capital relationships beyond the GSEs – an important driver of our long-term growth strategy. Although GSE lending volumes declined this quarter, this was driven by transaction timing, as our overall market share has increased 350 basis points year-to-date to 14.7%. Other highlights for the segment include:
● Net warehouse interest (expense) income improved to income in the current quarter, reflecting the normalization of the yield curve for the first time since the Great Tightening began.
● Improvement in other revenues was driven by investment banking, appraisal and valuation services, and application fees.

● Continued origination activity over the past year expanded the servicing portfolio to $145.8 billion, further strengthening the recurring revenue and cash flow that supports our long term earnings growth. The portfolio also creates future opportunities to refinance, recapitalize and deepen client relationships as loans mature over time.
● Agency production over the past 12 months was the main driver for the addition of more than $8 billion of net loans to the servicing portfolio. Approximately $14.9 billion of Agency loans are scheduled to mature over the next two years, providing a meaningful pipeline of client engagement opportunities to support future transaction activity. The decline in brokered servicing was primarily driven by a large partner consolidating their servicing relationships. Although we bid on the opportunity, we were not selected. We will continue to source and originate deals on behalf of that lender.
● Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) continue to deliver significant long-term value. As of June 30, 2026, MSRs associated with our servicing portfolio are reported at an amortized cost of $793.4 million, while the fair value is estimated at $1.4 billion, reflecting the inherent value of the long-term contractual nature of these assets and the recurring servicing and ancillary revenues they generate.
● Assets under management totaled $18.7 billion as of June 30, 2026, and consisted of $16.0 billion of low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) funds managed by our affordable housing investment management team, $1.8 billion of debt funds, and $0.9 billion of equity funds managed by our registered investment advisor, WDIP.

Second quarter 2026 Earnings Release
The table above excludes income tax expense (benefit) and income or loss from noncontrolling interests and temporary equity holders.
● The Servicing & Asset Management segment continues to benefit from the stable recurring earnings and cash flow from the servicing portfolio.
● Revenue declined year over year, primarily due to the timing of earnings recognized from joint venture investments in our affordable business, while the recurring servicing fees of the managed portfolio continued to steadily grow. The underlying fundamentals of the servicing platform remain strong, and continued execution from our Capital Markets business in the coming quarters should drive additional servicing portfolio expansion as we move through the year.
● Segment results continue to be influenced by our portfolio of indemnified and repurchased loans. That portfolio increased year over year, leading to higher operating costs and credit-related losses.

● The at-risk servicing portfolio continues to demonstrate strong underlying credit performance with low levels of delinquency. Growth in the at-risk portfolio reflects continued Fannie Mae loan production over the past year, while our credit exposure remains concentrated on loans backed by multifamily assets.
● Based on the latest property level financial information available, our at-risk portfolio is operating at a weighted average debt service coverage ratio two times, and the average underwritten loan-to-value is approximately 61%. Less than 5% of our loans are below a 1.0 times debt service coverage ratio, and were underwritten above a 75% loan-to-value.

● Total repurchased loans declined to $193.3 million as of June 30, 2026, down from $221.6 million as of December 31, 2025. Since the end of the second quarter, we exited $39.4 million of loans at prices that approximated our estimates, reducing our remaining repurchase exposure to $153.8 million, against which we have $41.7 million of reserves.
● Of the $23.2 million of operating and credit-related charges this quarter, $18.0 million were credit-related. The credit-related charges were concentrated in loans associated with a small number of fraudulent sponsors we previously identified and were largely driven by the default of a previously repurchased portfolio of loans, and an agreement to increase our loss-sharing with Fannie Mae on a $15.9 million defaulted portfolio of loans in lieu of repurchasing them.
● Last year, we began a fraud investigation in coordination with Freddie Mac that identified a small group of fraudulent sponsors. 95% of the credit-related losses we have taken against our repurchased loans are associated with those sponsors. During the second quarter, we concluded that investigation with Freddie Mac, and we do not expect any further repurchases associated with the investigation.
● We are actively executing our disposition strategy to reduce our repurchase exposure. We expect to fully exit the remaining assets in this portfolio by early next year, and any future credit-related losses will be driven by the difference between the ultimate selling prices relative to our current estimates.
CAPITAL SOURCES AND USES
On August 5, 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.68 per share for the third quarter of 2026. The dividend will be paid on September 3, 2026, to all holders of record of the Company’s restricted and unrestricted common stock as of August 20, 2026.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 283 thousand shares under the 2026 Stock Repurchase Program at a weighted-average price of $47.13 per share and immediately retired the shares, reducing stockholders’ equity by $13.3 million.

ABOUT WALKER & DUNLOP
Walker & Dunlop (NYSE: WD) is one of the largest commercial real estate finance and advisory services firms in the United States and internationally. Our ideas and capital create communities where people live, work, shop, and play. Our innovative people, breadth of our brand, and our technological capabilities make us one of the most insightful and client-focused firms in the commercial real estate industry.
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 write-offs based on the final resolution of the defaulted loans or collateral, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net of guaranty obligation, the income statement impact from periodic revaluation and accretion associated with contingent consideration liabilities related to acquired companies, goodwill impairment, loan repurchase losses and other adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before income taxes, interest expense on our corporate debt, and amortization and depreciation, adjusted for provision (benefit) for credit losses, net write-offs based on the final resolution of the defaulted loans or collateral, loan repurchase losses, stock-based compensation, the fair value of expected net cash flows from servicing, net of guaranty obligation, the write-off of the unamortized balance of deferred issuance costs associated with the repayment of a portion of our corporate debt, goodwill impairment, and contingent consideration liability fair value adjustments when the fair value adjustment is a triggering event for a goodwill impairment assessment. 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.
6
Second quarter 2026 Earnings Release
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. For more information on adjusted EBITDA, adjusted core net income, and adjusted core EPS, refer to the section of this press release below titled “Adjusted Financial Measure Reconciliation to GAAP.”

Furthermore, we disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by applicable law.

(1) This balance consisted entirely of Interim Program JV managed loans. We indirectly share in a portion of the risk of loss associated with Interim Program JV managed loans through our 15% equity ownership in the Interim Program JV. We have no exposure to risk of loss for the loans serviced directly for the Interim Program JV partner. The balance of this line is included as a component of assets under management in the Supplemental Operating Data table above.
(2) At-risk servicing portfolio is defined as the balance of Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (“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.
(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.
(4) Defaulted loans represent loans in our Fannie Mae at-risk portfolio or Freddie Mac SBL pre-securitized portfolio that are probable of foreclosure or that have foreclosed and for which we have recorded a collateral-based reserve (i.e. loans where we have assessed a probable loss). Other loans that are delinquent but not foreclosed or that are not probable of foreclosure are not included here. Additionally, loans that have foreclosed or are probable of foreclosure but are not expected to result in a loss to us are not included here.

(1) Interest expense on corporate debt is allocated to each segment based on proportional usage. Expense decreased due to lower average interest rates.
(2) Income tax expense is allocated to each segment based on income before taxes, except for significant one-time tax items. Tax expense decreased to a benefit due to lower income before taxes and a lower estimated annual effective tax rate driven by higher low income housing tax credits.
