Stonegate Mortgage Corporation reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
"Our third quarter results reflect solid business execution during a period of rising interest rates and underscore the strength of our differentiated, vertically integrated and scalable mortgage banking platform," said Jim Cutillo, chief executive officer of Stonegate Mortgage. "Our three lines of business--mortgage originations, mortgage servicing and mortgage financing--complement each other and create a natural hedge against interest rate volatility and business cyclicality, an important factor in our performance. Having completed our IPO, we continue to execute our growth strategy as evidenced by our recently announced acquisitions which will accelerate our geographic expansion, add talented senior executives and enhance our ability to serve a broader range of mortgage brokers and regional banks. We are confident in our ability to integrate these businesses, which will help fuel our growth and create near and long-term shareholder value for our investors."
