Exchange Owner Bets on Digital Mortgages -- WSJ

Source: Dow Jones News
By Alexander Osipovich
This article is being republished as part of our daily reproduction of WSJ.com articles that also appeared in the U.S. print edition of The Wall Street Journal (August 7, 2020).

Intercontinental Exchange Inc., the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, said it would acquire mortgage-software firm Ellie Mae, a landmark bet by the exchange giant on the digitization of the U.S. mortgage industry.

The deal between Atlanta-based ICE and private-equity firm Thoma Bravo is valued at about $11 billion, including $9.25 billion in newly issued debt and $1.75 billion in stock. It is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2020, pending regulatory approval.

Ellie Mae's technology has been used to help automate the closing of millions of home loans. Based in Pleasanton, Calif., the firm handles the technology that underpins the entire home-loan origination process, and its services are used in particular by loan officers who work at nonbank mortgage lenders, analysts say.

Thoma Bravo acquired Ellie Mae last year for $3.7 billion in cash.

Ellie Mae's revenue has grown rapidly since the Thoma Bravo acquisition last year, in part because the coronavirus pandemic accelerated the use of its digital tools, ICE Chairman and Chief Executive Jeffrey Sprecher told analysts Thursday on a conference call about the deal.

Asked about the deal's price tag, ICE executives said they expected Ellie Mae's business to keep growing at a fast clip for the next decade. Mr. Sprecher said ICE would also profit from the transaction by amassing a huge trove of mortgage data, which it would sell alongside the financial data that it already sells from ICE's markets.

"We will be the de facto source of information for the U.S. mortgage market," Mr. Sprecher said.

ICE's shares dropped 2.5% in after-hours trading as investors digested the cost of the deal.

ICE has been stepping up its presence in the mortgage market during the past several years, in a bet that the cumbersome, often paper-based process of closing a mortgage deal will go digital in the coming decades.

In 2018, ICE acquired 100% of the parent company of Mortgage Electronic Registrations Systems, a national electronic registry for tracking servicing rights and ownership interests for U.S. mortgage loans. Last year ICE acquired Simplifile, a firm that facilitates electronic processing of mortgage records, in a $335 million deal.

Acquiring Ellie Mae would put ICE closer to the origination of home loans, expanding its reach to the mortgage lenders, brokers and other players that come together before a loan is closed. ICE's current mortgage business is more focused on warehousing and processing data on home loans after they close.

Ultimately, automating all of those processes will make it faster and easier for home buyers to get mortgages, ICE executives said. Mr. Sprecher noted on the conference call that it takes around 100 steps, thousands of pages of documents and up to two months to close a mortgage.

"Mortgages are so analogue, and the process underneath them is so kludgy, that there is a real opportunity to clean them up and ultimately make it easier for those mortgages to be sold to investors," he told The Wall Street Journal in an interview.

The deal comes as the Mortgage Bankers Association expects mortgage originations to hit their highest level this year since 2005. Even as the coronavirus has battered the U.S. economy, record-low interest rates have spurred a boom in refinancings, while a tight housing supply has kept home prices high, with young families moving to the suburbs and wealthy city dwellers looking for second homes.

ICE executives said on a quarterly earnings call last week that the mortgage business had become the fastest-growing part of the company, although it still accounts for a relatively small part of ICE's total revenue. Mortgage-related revenue rose to $98 million in the first six months of 2020, from $48 million a year earlier, an increase primarily driven by the Simplifile deal, the company said. ICE posted more than $6 billion in total revenue last year.

The Ellie Mae acquisition is the largest-ever deal for ICE, which was founded 20 years ago as a small electricity-trading platform and has since grown into a global exchange operator through a series of deals.

Led by Mr. Sprecher, ICE has a history of jumping into businesses in the process of transitioning from analogue to digital. In the 2000s the company did a series of deals in which it acquired futures exchanges and closed down their old-fashioned trading floors to convert them into all-electronic markets.

Intercontinental Makes Deal
To Establish Coal Contracts
A WSJ News Roundup
April 3, 2008; Page C14

IntercontinentalExchange Inc., the Atlanta operator of global derivatives exchanges and over-the-counter markets known as ICE, and globalCOAL, an electronic marketplace for thermal coal, agreed to develop and launch two new coal-futures contracts at ICE Futures Europe.

ICE Futures Europe plans to launch a financially settled futures contract based on the globalCOAL NEWC Index in this year's third quarter. The index is based on bids, offers and trades on the globalCOAL trading platform, with delivery in Newcastle, Australia. It is the leading reference point for over-the-counter trading in Asian coal markets, the exchanges said.

ICE and globalCOAL, which is operated by Global Coal Ltd., of London, also will work to develop a physically delivered coal-futures contract that it plans to launch later in the year, with delivery points in the Antwerp-Rotterdam-Amsterdam region, the main European hub for oil and coal trading.

The new contracts will be complementary to existing financially settled coal-futures contracts listed by ICE Futures Europe, the exchange said.

A competitor to ICE, Nymex Holdings Inc.'s New York Mercantile Exchange, a global energy-and-commodity-futures exchange, offers a coal-futures contract on domestic U.S. coal from central Appalachia.

"The development of futures is the next stage in the commoditization of the coal market," Eoghan Cunningham, globalCOAL's chief executive, said in a statement.

Like other commodities, coal prices have soared in the past year in response to rising demand, especially in growing areas such as China. About 40% of the electricity produced in the world comes from coal. Trading volume in futures and options contracts tied to commodities has soared, as well.

[rayrohn]

yes it does ....
ICE is also another stock with a gap under the price ...
wonder when that one will fill lol

[frenchee]

looks like a breakout Ray...

[rayrohn]

lol frenchee I have not traded ICE all year.... I really don't have enough money to trade stocks over 100 bucks in price... even if they make the real nice moves lol

[frenchee]

What a trading stock you have here Ray...

Electronic exchanges post gains

By Greg Morcroft, MarketWatch
Last Update: 10:33 AM ET Mar 1, 2006


NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Shares of electronic securities exchanges rose Wednesday, helped by gains in International Securities Exchange after the company said its daily volume rose about 40% in February.
Earlier, the International Securities Exchange Inc. (ISEISE) said that average daily trading volume for equity and index options contracts rose 37.9% last month, to 2.4 million contracts compared to 1.7 million during the same period in 2005.
Total equity and index options volume for February also increased by 37.9%, to 44.8 million contracts from 32.5 million contracts.
International Securities Exchange shares rose about 2% to $46.13.
Shares of Intercontinental Exchange (ICEICE) , TradeStation (TRADTRAD) , Knight Capital (NITENITE) and Van der Moolen (VDMVDM) all rose.
Shares of online trading firms also rose at mid-week, moving up despite a report from a respected sector analyst who foresees a slowdown in February's trading.
Trading volumes for so-called e-brokers "should be down in a range of 6.5% to 12.5% from January. Our channel checks showed that volumes dropped off from a stellar January in February, particularly near the end of the month. We are modeling sequential declines for TD Ameritrade (AMTDAMTD) (-7.5%), E-Trade (ETET) (-6.5%), Charles Schwab (SCHWSCHW) (-10.0%), OptionsXpress (OXPSOXPS) (-10.0%), and TradeStation (-0.00%)," said Sandler O'Neill's Rich Repetto.
Also Wednesday, Chicago Mercantile Holdings Inc. (CMECME) got a lift as average daily volume for February rose 26% to 4.7 million contracts. Open interest set a record for the month, coming in above 40 million positions. Total options reached 1.2 million contracts per day in February, an increase of 44% year-over-year.
In the broader financial sector, the Amex Securities Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD$XBD) , the Philadelphia Bank Sector Index ($BKX$BKX) and the S&P Insurance Index (IUXIUX) all were in the rise.

[PlERCE]

Yea, I know what you mean. It's like poker, when you're against the wall, you play like a moron. I don't doubt people got burned. Just for a stock like this, long term play is most definately the way to go. Unless you're 99% sure you know where the trough is for that day. I don't have alot of investing capital since I'm still young, so I'm in a few BB stocks that are starting to form out to be real companies, which is quite exciting. 59K is damn impressive, though.

[zentman]

Look, I think this thing will take off and do well or I wouldn't have been here in the first place. I just miss timed my entry three times. I usually don't trade this badly but I am up against a wall financially and that makes for bad trading. I will probably pick up a thousand shares tommorrow sometime , when the dust settles, and ride it back up. This just happened to be my worst couple days trading since I started so I posted out of frustration. My best day? 50k up :)

[PlERCE]

No, I agree. But BOT didn't have some 2nd day bullshit PR that was later retracted. I'm family...which is why I have to be careful as to what I say. Annoying, but the truth.

[zentman]

Go look at the chart for BOT the first three days. Go look at the chart for IRBT the first three days. Then tell me that all IPO'sd retrace. This was touted as the next BOT all over CNBC, was I wrong to assume it might climb a bit the second day?. Glad you got in on the IPO. You're in at 26 , BTW how did you manage that? Seriousely.

[PlERCE]

Regardless, you've traded it a few TIMES, not days. That was your brilliant move to day trade an IPO. As for the 44 tank...it settled back at 39 yesterday to open and gap UP about a point before the selling occured. If you had read the prospectus, you would've realized that it was stated that all of the insider selling that happened was NOTED. No matter what stock you buy, if you buy at a high, you're OBVIOUSLY going to loose money...hence the term HOD. The high yesterday was at like 11am, anyways. It was trading around 39 for about 5 hours of trading, so I don't know where you figure it went from 44 ---> 35. You can't speculate the fact that they lost money, I'm assuming some of them are smart enough to hold for 1-2-3-4 years, not just flip on a panic sale...As for the flippers, that's fine...majority of the time, they're going to get burned and you're a standing example. I've lost money in the market as any other trader, but I'm in at the IPO, and I don't plan on selling for 3-5 years...All I'm saying is that you didn't do nearly enough reading or DD regarding the prospectus because all of the selling was listed in black and white...

[zentman]

It traded yesterday. I played it twice then. I bought back in near the end of the day and held this morning until the pain wouldn't stop. There is nothing weak about selling to avoid a margin call and preserving what little capital I had left after the 10 AM dumping. It opened for trading yesterday at 39 bucks. I was there when it did. Dude the stock tanked off of it's high yesterday of 44 bucks down to 35 bucks today, That's a friggin tank. Did you see how many people bought avove 39 yesterday? They all lost money and there were very, very many of them besides me As to getting rid of flippers , good luck, This stock moves and they'll be here all day and that's a fact. I assume you got in at 35 bucks , right? I assume you never lost money in the market before, good for you, you're awesome!

[PlERCE]

I don't understand how you can loose 11K in a few days seeing as this was ICE's first day of trading. If you had gotten in at the IPO, which I'm sure you didn't, I guarantee that you wouldn't be complaining. I don't understand why you would sell for an 11K loss with a stock like this? This isn't a bulletin board stock, so it's not like it's a short pump and dump.

As for the insider selling, you obviously didn't do sufficient DD for investing that much capital. MarketWatch retracted the insider selling as it wasn't Jeffrey Sprecher. The insiders weren't management, nor underwriters, that was obvious. Plus, the people that dumped yesterday WERE the insiders that you're talking about. The selling today was weak hands that don't read and have sufficient knowledge on this company and what those sales actually were. Also, I wouldn't consider tanking going down 4 points after soaring a previous 13 points? I assume you must have gotten in at its peak of 40-43. For this company's future, it's probably better that they got rid of the flippers and weak hands like yourself, so there's not much sympathy for an ignorant move. I mean, I'm sorry for the loss, but it was easily avoidable...

[zentman]

Well pierce, after losing 11k in a couple of days I thought selling before it tanked an additional 2 bucks a share this morning might not be a bad idea. As to "no company" doesn't retrace, look at BOT's chart and also look at IRBC's the first three days. Day two they both took off, I thought this one would too but insiders dumped and it tanked. I will watch and re-eneter when they are done.

[PlERCE]

I hope you didn't sell. You've got to realize that no company that comes out that hard from an IPO won't have a bit of retracement. Right now, all the Exchanges are hot as hell. Look at CME, NIMEX, CBOT, and ISE. Short term play just isn't smart here, imho.

[zentman]

Lost everything on this damn thing!!! Good luck. :)
