Michael Strauss, American Home’s Chief Executive Officer commented, “The fourth quarter was highly successful for our company with earnings of $1.21 per diluted share. During the quarter, we added $1.0 billion of recently originated loans to our portfolio, which are carried at cost. Loan origination volume was a record $15.5 billion due to our company achieving a record market share of 2.48% of national originations. Net interest income was stable while our servicing portfolio produced record revenues. During the quarter, our company did however experience its highest delinquency related charges to date, which reduced our quarterly earnings.

The fourth quarter concluded a very successful year for our company, with earnings per diluted share reaching a record $4.96. By comparison, diluted earnings per share were $3.97 in 2005, $3.74 in 2004, $4.07 in 2003 and $2.65 in 2002*. A key financial goal for our company in 2007 is to continue our multi-year growth trend in earnings per share. During 2006, our company’s return on average common equity was 22.7%, which surpassed our target of 20%, and compares favorably to 2005 when our adjusted return on average common equity was 19.7%. Also during 2006 our company originated $58.9 billion of loans compared to $45.3 billion in 2005. Finally, during 2006, our company reached a milestone as, for the first time; its revenues exceeded $1.0 billion.

In this earnings release, our company is providing 2007 earnings guidance of $5.40 to $5.70 per fully diluted share with the earnings per diluted share for each quarter in 2007 projected to be approximately 9% to 15% higher than for the comparable quarter in 2006. Our earnings guidance is based on stable net interest margins applied to a growing portfolio of loans held for investment, loan production of $68 billion to $74 billion, and a reduction in gain on sale margins of approximately 12 basis points. Lower gain on sale margins are expected in part because delinquency losses on loans held for sale, including losses due to repurchases, are projected to continue at high levels throughout 2007. Projections for continued high losses are based on our company’s view that while there are signs that housing prices are starting to stabilize, future abatements in foreclosure activity will lag a recovery in the housing market. As a result, our 2007 earnings guidance anticipates a highly stressed credit environment.

Not included in our earnings guidance are potential benefits from new strategies that offer the possibility of higher portfolio income, increased loan production and reduced income tax expense. Our company will keep investors apprised if material benefits from these strategies become likely.

I am very pleased to announce that based on our company’s results and prospects, our Board of Directors has voted to increase our company’s dividend policy by $0.06 to $1.12 per share per quarter or $4.48 per share on an annualized basis. The new dividend policy is expected to take effect with our April dividend payment. Please note, however, that our company is not obligated to pay dividends until such dividends are declared by our Board of Directors, and our Board of Directors may change our company’s dividend policy at any time without prior notice.”

FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

During the fourth quarter, the Company’s net interest income, plus the positive carry from interest rate swaps, was $48.9 million compared to $50.5 million in the third quarter of 2006. Of the $48.9 million, $12.4 million was from portfolio loans, $14.7 million was from mortgage-backed securities, $6.3 million was from swaps associated with mortgage-backed securities, $0.6 million was from Flower Bank, and $26.8 million was from loans in warehouse, reduced by $11.9 million of interest expense on trust preferred securities and the financing of servicing assets. By comparison, the components of the $50.5 million of net interest income, plus the positive carry from interest rate swaps, earned in the third quarter were $11.8 million from portfolio loans, $16.6 million from mortgage-backed securities, $7.5 million from swaps associated with mortgage-backed securities and $25.1 million from loans in warehouse, including loans held for investment pending securitization, reduced by $10.5 million of interest expense on trust preferred securities and the financing of servicing assets.

During the fourth quarter, portfolio loans earned a net interest margin of 1.42% and had an average balance of $3.5 billion, compared to a net interest margin of 1.27% and an average balance of $3.7 billion in the third quarter of 2006. During the fourth quarter, mortgage-backed securities had an average balance of $9.2 billion, earned a net interest margin on a stand-alone basis of 0.64%, and earned a net interest margin including income from associated swaps of 0.91%. By comparison, in the third quarter of 2006, mortgage-backed securities had an average balance of $9.3 billion, earned net interest margin on a stand-alone basis of 0.72%, and earned a net interest margin including income from associated swaps of 1.04%. In the fourth quarter, loans in warehouse, including loans held for investment pending securitization, had an average balance of $10.0 billion and earned a net interest margin of 1.08%. By comparison, during the third quarter of 2006 loans in warehouse, including loans held for investment pending securitization, had an average balance of $8.1 billion and earned a net interest margin of 1.24%.

Delinquencies and delinquency related charges were up sharply in the fourth quarter and are expected to remain at elevated levels throughout 2007. For the fourth quarter, the Company’s provision expense associated with loans held for investment was $6.7 million, while its quarter-end allowance for loan loss balance was $14.2 million and its non-performing loans held for investment were $82.4 million. By comparison, for the third quarter of 2006, the Company’s provision expense was $5.4 million, while its quarter-end allowance for loan loss balance was $10.9 million and its non-performing loans held for investment were $66.9 million. Additionally, in the fourth quarter, the Company added $14.5 million to its reserves for delinquent loans held for sale which include repurchased loans. These added reserves resulted in a charge to the Company’s gain on sale which reduced its net gain on sale revenue. At quarter-end, reserves associated with delinquent loans held for sale were $22.0 million, while non-performing loans held for sale were $124.3 million. By comparison, in the third quarter, additions to reserves charged to gain on sale were $2.8 million, reserves associated with loans held for sale were $8.7 million, and non-performing loans held for sale were $50.3 million. During the fourth quarter, the value of the Company’s residual assets decreased approximately $12.1 million due to changes in anticipated credit losses, future interest rates and prepayment speeds, and consequently resulted in a write-down that was charged to income. The Company estimates that approximately half of the write-down in the value of residual securities was attributable to delinquencies.

During the fourth quarter, the Company completed foreclosures and sold repossessed real estate for loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $43.4 million. Losses on these loans were $7.0 million, net of mortgage insurance, resulting in a severity rate of 16.2%. By comparison, during the third quarter, the Company completed foreclosures and sold repossessed real estate for loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $29.4 million. Losses on those loans were $4.6 million, net of mortgage insurance, resulting in a severity rate of 15.7%.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the Company continued to pursue a strategy of matching the duration of its portfolio assets with the duration of its liabilities, net of hedges. At December 31, 2006, the composition of the Company’s loans held for investment and loans underlying its mortgage-backed securities was 45.0% 5/1 ARM loans, 26.0% short reset ARMs, 13.7% fixed rate loans, 8.9% 7/1 ARM loans, 2.0% 3/1 ARM loans, 1.3% HELOC and closed-end seconds, and 3.1% other ARM types. On December 31, 2006, the mortgage-backed securities portfolio’s duration, net of liabilities and hedges, was estimated to be 0.07 years and its projected average life was 2.36 years. The composition of the mortgage-backed securities portfolio by credit quality based on Standard & Poor’s ratings was 93.9% Agency and AAA, 3.8% AA, A, and BBB and 2.3% BB and unrated.

During the fourth quarter, the Company’s loan origination business continued to produce strong results. Loan originations reached a record $15.5 billion compared to $15.3 billion in this year’s third quarter. During the fourth quarter, the Company sold $14.3 billion of loans to third parties for a gross gain on sale excluding reserving for delinquencies of $217.4 million equal to a gross gain on sale margin of 1.52%. By comparison, during this year’s third quarter, the Company sold $14.3 billion of loans to third parties for a gross gain on sale of $213.4 million equal to a gain on sale margin of 1.49%. The Company’s gain on sale net of additions to its reserves for delinquent loans held for sale was $202.9 million in the fourth quarter compared to $210.6 million in the third quarter of 2006.

During the fourth quarter, the Company’s loan origination expenses were $157.9 million, or 1.11% of loans sold, or 1.02% of loans originated, compared to $152.6 million, or 1.06% of loans sold, or 1.00% of loans originated in the third quarter. The Company estimates that its national market share, based on Freddie Mac’s recent, revised estimate of national market size, was 2.48% in the fourth quarter compared to 2.24% in this year’s third quarter and 1.69% during the fourth quarter of 2005. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Company employed approximately 2,450 loan officers and account executives, including call center representatives, but excluding sales assistants, compared to approximately 2,640 on September 30, 2006.

During the fourth quarter, the Company’s servicing income and ancillary fees reached a record $47.3 million gross, and $18.4 million net of $28.9 million of reduction of fair value due to realization of servicing cash flows. By comparison, during the third quarter, servicing income and ancillary fees were $43.4 million gross, and $14.6 million net of $28.8 million reduction of fair value due to realization of servicing cash flows. At the end of the fourth quarter, the principal amount of the loans underlying the Company’s servicing assets was $38.5 billion. By comparison, the amount of loans underlying the Company’s servicing assets at the end of this year’s third quarter was $35.9 billion. The principal amount of the servicing portfolio, including warehouse loans, was $46.3 billion at the end of the fourth quarter and $43.0 billion at the end of this year’s third quarter.

The Company’s total revenues in the fourth quarter were $257.7 million. Of these revenues, $42.7 million was from net interest income, $202.9 million was from sales of newly originated mortgage loans including origination fees and net of hedges and additions to loss reserves, $47.3 million was from mortgage servicing fees, $3.9 million was from an increase in the value of servicing due to changes in assumptions, net of hedges, $6.3 million was from interest carry on free-standing swaps and $2.9 million was from other sources. Revenues were decreased by $28.9 million due to realization of servicing cash flows, $12.7 million due to realized and unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities held, net of hedges and $6.7 million due to provisioning for loan losses. During the fourth quarter, the Company’s expenses were $173.4 million, and the Company’s pre-tax income was $84.3 million. Also during the quarter, the Company’s tax expense was $19.6 million. Consequently, net income for the quarter was $64.7 million while preferred dividends were $3.3 million and net income available to common stockholders was $61.4 million, resulting in earnings per diluted share of $1.21. Book value attributable to common stockholders at December 31, 2006 was $1.14 billion, or $22.64 per common share, compared to $1.13 billion, or $22.52 per common share, at September 30, 2006.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

The Company is providing earnings guidance for 2007 of $5.40 to $5.70 per diluted share. Quarterly earnings per diluted share are projected to be approximately 9% to 15% higher for each quarter in 2007 compared to the comparable quarter in 2006. Key projections underlying the Company’s guidance are that 1) net interest margins will remain stable and the balance of loans held for investment and carried at cost will continue to grow, 2) that loan production will range between $68 billion and $74 billion with higher production in the second and third quarters, and lower production in the first and fourth quarter, 3) that the Company’s gain on sale margin from loans sold will decline by approximately 12 basis points, in part due to continued high delinquency charges associated with the Company’s loans held for sale, and 4) that the Company will not experience significant losses net of hedges due to write-downs of its portfolio assets and / or its servicing assets. It is important to note that actual results, which are different than any one or more than one of the key projections, may prevent the Company from achieving its earnings guidance, and may instead result in losses. In addition, factors other than the key projections listed herein may cause the Company to fail to achieve its earnings guidance and may result in losses as more fully described under Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DIVIDEND POLICY

Based on the Company’s projections for earnings and cash flow, its Board of Directors has raised the Company’s common stock dividend policy to $1.12 per share per quarter, or $4.48 per share on an annualized basis. The Company’s dividend policy does not constitute an obligation to pay dividends, which only occurs when its Board of Directors declares a dividend. The dividend policy is subject to ongoing review by the Board of Directors based on, among other things, the Company’s business prospects, financial condition, earnings projections and cash flow projections, and the Board may, when it deems doing so is advisable, lower or eliminate the dividend without prior notice. The new dividend policy of $1.12 per share per quarter is expected to commence beginning in April 2007.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

During the fourth quarter, the Company completed its acquisition of Flower Bank, fsb and consequently became a thrift holding company. As a result of its acquisition of Flower, a small portion of the Company’s liabilities are now deposits. The Company expects to grow Flower slowly at first, but over the long term believes Flower will become a significant contributor to the Company’s earnings. In connection with its acquisition of Flower, the Company has hired Lou Dunham to serve as Flower’s President. Mr. Dunham has over thirty-two years of banking experience, most recently as President of Ameribank, a Florida based federal thrift. Previously, Mr. Dunham was the Senior EVP and Chief Risk Officer at Republic Security Bank. The Company also elected Tom Wren to serve as an independent Director of Flower. Mr. Wren was recently the Treasurer of MBNA where he served ten years, and previously was a senior bank regulator in the Office of the Controller of the Currency where he served for eighteen years.
