loanDepot announces first quarter 2023 financial results

Company narrows net loss 42% on higher revenues and lower expenses.

•First quarter revenue increased by $38.2 million from fourth quarter 2022 primarily driven by higher pull through weighted lock volume and servicing fee income.

•Reduced total expenses by $29.3 million from fourth quarter 2022 primarily driven by lower personnel related costs and reduced general and administrative expenses.

•Quarterly net loss declined 42% to $91.7 million from fourth quarter 2022 driven by higher revenues and continued expense reductions under the Company’s Vision 2025 strategic plan.

•Company maintained strong liquidity profile, exiting the quarter with cash balance of $798.1 million.

IRVINE, Calif., May 9, 2023 - loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot” or the “Company”), today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

“The first quarter of this year remained challenging for the housing market as virtually all participants grappled with the impacts of ongoing volatility in mortgage interest rates, persistent cost inflation and the lack of available homes for sale,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Martell. “Against this backdrop loanDepot continued to execute against our Vision 2025 plan, narrowing our loss from the fourth quarter of 2022 on higher revenues and lower expenses.

“Although the affordability and availability of new and existing home sales remains challenging for the industry overall; we expect to continue to benefit from seasonally higher revenues and our ongoing cost reduction program. Assuming the expected benefits of continuing seasonal volume increases and cost productivity, we expect to deliver improving financial results over the course of the second and third quarters of 2023.

“Importantly, while we continue reset our cost structure to align with a smaller mortgage market, we are also focused on the other pillars of Vision 2025 including capturing profitable revenue growth opportunities. A significant component of Vision 2025 is reorienting our mortgage origination footprint around purpose-driven lending to support first-time homebuyers and diverse communities. We have already garnered recognition in this area; earlier this year The Wall Street Journal named us “Best Mortgage Lender for First-Time Buyers.” As one of the top mortgage lenders in America, we believe a laser focus on serving first-time buyers will enable loanDepot to build relationships with customers for life, becoming the partner of choice for future lending or other home-related transactions.”

Vision 2025

Our Vision 2025 plan is designed to address current and anticipated mortgage market conditions and position loanDepot for sustainable long-term value creation. We have achieved the following during the first quarter as it related to Vision 2025:

•Ranked as the third largest mortgage lender in America by units of funded loans.1

•Named by The Wall Street Journal as the “Best Mortgage Lender for First-Time Buyers,” validating our mission of purpose-driven lending to the increasingly diverse communities comprising first-time homebuyers.

•Achieved quarterly non-volume related expense reductions of $25.5 million, or 8.9%, since the fourth quarter of 2022.

•Incurred expenses related to the Vision 2025 plan of $2.6 million during the quarter, including $0.9 million of professional services fees, $0.8 million of personnel related expenses and $0.8 million of lease and other asset impairment charges. Vision 2025 expenses totaled $11.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

1 Based on 2022 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data collected by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Data for single family originations and exclude correspondent loans.

Operational Results

•Pull through weighted lock volume of $5.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $1.1 billion or 27% from the fourth quarter of 2022, resulting in quarterly total revenue of $207.9 million, an increase of $38.2 million, or 23%, over the same period.

•Loan origination volume for the first quarter of 2023 was $4.9 billion, a decrease of $1.4 billion or 23% from the fourth quarter of 2022.

•Purchase volume decreased to 71% of total loans during the first quarter, down from 76% of total loans during the fourth quarter of 2022 and up from 37% of total loans during the first quarter of 2022.

•For the twelve months ended March 31, 2023, our preliminary organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate2 remained strong at 69%. This highlights the efficacy of our marketing efforts, the strength of our customer relationships, and the value of our servicing portfolio for additional revenue opportunities.

•Net loss for the first quarter of 2023 of $91.7 million as compared to net loss of $157.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Net loss decreased quarter over quarter primarily due to both an increase in revenues and a decrease in total expenses.

•Adjusted LBITDA for the first quarter of 2023 was $29.3 million as compared to adjusted LBITDA of $92.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Adjusted (LBITDA) EBITDA excludes the impact of fair value changes of our mortgage servicing rights, net of hedging results, impairment charges, and other operating expenses.

Outlook for the second quarter of 2023

•Origination volume of between $4.5 billion and $6.5 billion.

•Pull-through weighted rate lock volume of between $5.5 billion and $7.5 billion.

•Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin of between 240 basis points and 280 basis points.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). We exclude from each of these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as they add volatility and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, non-cash goodwill impairment, and other impairment charges to intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of “net interest income (expense)”, as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Some of these limitations are:

•they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

•Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and

•they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to the Company, or Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share or as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
