Demand for Onity Group's mortgage products and services is subject to industry-wide seasonality. Mortgage originations typically increase in the spring and autumn, with May and October being busy months and a peak in June. February and August tend to experience slower mortgage rate lock activity, while January can be favorable for mortgage rates. This seasonality can lead to fluctuations in lender capacity and influence loan credit spreads, impacting Onity Group's business as a mortgage servicer and originator.
