Onity Group (NYSE:ONIT) reported the most successful year in its history, posting record net income and a significant jump in shareholder equity for 2025.
The mortgage services firm, formerly known as Ocwen Financial, saw its book value per share surge 30% to $74, driven by sustained profitability and a strategic accounting shift that signals long-term confidence in its earnings power.
The company reported full-year net income of $185 million, or $21.46 per diluted share.
A major tailwind for the results was the release of a $120 million deferred tax valuation allowance, a move typically reserved for companies that can demonstrate a high likelihood of future taxable income.
Even excluding this one-time benefit, Onity’s core operations remained robust; GAAP revenue rose 9% to $1.1 billion, while its total servicing portfolio reached a massive $328 billion in unpaid principal balance (UPB).
In a move to return capital to investors, the Board of Directors authorized a $10 million share repurchase program through August 2026.
This buyback reflects the company’s strengthened liquidity position, which stood at $205 million at year-end.
Looking toward 2026, Onity management issued an optimistic outlook, guiding for an adjusted Return on Equity (ROE) between 13% and 15%.
