Finance of America posted steep losses in the second quarter and has pledged to eliminate a significant percentage of its workforce to contain the financial fallout. As with other lenders seeing huge declines in mortgage origination volume, Finance of America’s traditional mortgage business took a hit due to tumbling refinance volumes and an increase in spreads on both non-agency and agency mortgage products, which resulted in revenue reductions.  The traditional mortgage business notched $4.23 billion in funded volume in the first quarter, down 17% quarter over quarter and 39% year over year.
