Forward-Looking Statements

The conference call discussion also included a brief note about forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include information about our industry, our future financial performance and business activity, in particular relating to our mortgage market performance and expected results, and because they are in part an attempt to forecast future outcomes, they are subject to many risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on our management's and other experts' current expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. The risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors that affect our actual outcomes are set forth in our periodic SEC filings, including but not limited to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013. Many of these factors are beyond our control. Such factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements. With respect to this presentation, the factors that may affect our mortgage origination activity include economic and monetary policy factors that affect the housing and housing finance markets as a whole; federal government policies pertaining to mortgage guaranty programs; shifts in domestic and global interest rates; our ability to hedge the risks associated with our loan origination and servicing portfolios and the costs of those activities; and our ability to estimate actual results prior to the final completion of our closing for the second fiscal quarter. Actual results may fall materially short of our expectations and projections, and we may change our plans or take additional actions that differ in material ways from our current intentions. Accordingly, we can give no assurance of future performance, and you should not rely unduly on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to HomeStreet as of the date hereof, and we do not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statements, for any reason.
