Significant Growth in Origination Channels

In 2025, Planet’s origination growth was evident across all production channels. The correspondent lending sector funded around $24.6 billion, representing nearly a 58% increase year over year.

The company leveraged analytics to drive borrower engagement and portfolio retention, resulting in notable recapture gains. Additionally, distributed retail funded about $1.4 billion, reflecting a remarkable growth of approximately 65% year over year, supported by branch expansion and enhanced performance marketing initiatives.

These results illustrate the effectiveness of Planet’s diversified production model, which has enabled the company to grow responsibly while managing risks effectively.

Planet’s total servicing portfolio expanded to $144.8 billion by the end of 2025, a 21% increase from the previous year. The company’s owned mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) grew to $138.5 billion, driven by higher origination volumes and strategic bulk MSR acquisitions. The disciplined management of the portfolio and consistent borrower engagement have been key factors in this growth.
