PSM Holdings, Inc. (PSMH) Announces Second Quarter Gross Revenue Results and Update; Lending Revenue Increases 176% Quarter Over Quarter on Higher Loan Originations Growth

ROSWELL, N.M., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PSM Holdings, Inc., (OTCBB: PSMH), a leading mortgage banking and brokerage services provider across the United States, has announced second quarter 2012 gross revenue increased by $2,183,643 or 176% to $3,427,053 for the three months period ended December 31, 2011 and increased by $3,194,974 or 132% to $5,609,288 for the six months period in 2011, as compared to the same comparable periods in 2010. Gross Revenue for the three and six months period increased due to the net increase of four acquisitions in our operations and as a result of closing 946 loans during the six month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to 497 loans closed for the comparable prior year period. The investor conference call is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 at 1:00 pm EDT. Interested parties may participate by dialing 1-800-860-2442 (U.S.A. Toll Free) or 1-412-858-4600 (International) approximately five minutes before the start time.

"We are extremely pleased with our progress and our ability to better service the growing demand in the housing markets for mortgage loans," said Ron Hanna, CEO of PSM Holdings, Inc. He continued, "Our strong 2nd quarter gross revenue of over $3.4M nearly surpassed our annual gross revenue for all of FY 2011 of $3.8M and are a testament to our capabilities to scale our business growth through the strategic acquisitions we have made throughout the last year. Most encouraging is the growth in our closed loan originations of 946 loans through our first-half 2012 fiscal year to December 31, 2011 as compared to our total annual 2010 volume of 497 loans. We are executing on our model with precision and the accretive impact of our acquisition strategy is mounting."

"We attribute our $.02 earnings per share loss for the quarter to expected increases in operating expenses related to the Company's investment in recruiting experienced mortgage executives and certain non-recurring charges related to the our Phase 1 growth strategy in acquiring four mortgage companies, which resulted in the Company incurring significant general and administrative expenses as compared to the expenses incurred in the comparable prior period in 2010. Many overlapping expenses among the acquired companies are in the process of being eliminated which we expect, once completed, will have a positive material impact on EBITA and free cash flow, as we continue to absorb each acquisition," Mr. Hanna added.

Mr. Hanna continued, "We expect the breadth of our strengthened business capabilities will allow us to deliver strong financial results and operating leverage, as well as significantly improved margins in the coming quarters. We believe we are on pace to achieve positive earnings growth through the end of our fiscal year in June 2012 and beyond."
