"I am proud of what we have accomplished as far as managing the business through this difficult transition period. We made great progress on our asset sale strategy, have returned to profitability and continue to generate substantial operating cash flow," said Ron Faris, President and CEO of Ocwen. "However, I am not satisfied with only making $34 million in the quarter. We intend to do better."

Philadelphia-based Radian reported $9.4 billion in new mortgage insurance written (NIW) and $172.1 billion in total primary mortgage insurance in force during Q1, according to the company's First Quarter 2015 Financial Results released Thursday.

The firm credited solid investment in institutional securities and equity sales as major factors in its Q1 performance. Net revenues from institutional securities (excluding debt value adjustment) were $5.3 billion. Equity sales and trading net revenues were $2.3 billion, up from $1.7 billion a year ago.

Michael Corbat, CEO of Citigroup, said the announced sale of OneMain, the largest business remaining in Citi Holdings and which the bank sold to Springleaf Holdings for $4.25 billion in March, helped make for a profitable quarter. "We had a strong quarter overall, particularly in executing against our top strategic priorities,” Corbat said, adding that the bank grew loans and deposits in its core businesses and tightly managed its expenses.

In its Q1 2015 earnings report released Wednesday, Bank of America reported a net income of $3.4 billion, or 27 cents per diluted share, in part due to an increase in mortgage originations and a decline in the number of 60-plus day delinquent mortgages.

Also, lower gains in private equity partially offset the increase in fee revenue in asset management and mortgage banking Chase received in Q1. Chase's net interest income for Q1 was $11 billion, which was relatively unchanged from Q1 2014.

Announcement of the loss hardly comes as a surprise. The firm announced in early February that it was anticipating a loss in its then-coming earnings report. That announcement was followed by a spate of sales of servicing rights to several firms.
