Blend Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Second Quarter Results Exceed Guidance on Revenue and Non-GAAP Operating Loss; Accelerates Path to Profitability

August 9, 2023

SAN FRANCISCO -- Blend Labs, Inc. (NYSE:BLND), a leader in cloud banking software, today announced its second quarter 2023 financial results.

“Blend’s second quarter results once again beat our top and bottom-line expectations. Revenue is benefiting from faster adoption of add-on mortgage products and new deployments of our consumer banking suite. At the same time, we are progressing ahead of schedule on our cost reduction efforts,” said Nima Ghamsari, Head of Blend. “Our performance is supported by our strong market position, with a resilient mortgage customer base that is gaining share in a challenging origination environment, as well as a growing base of consumer banking customers.
Blend enters the second half of the year with improving software margins, a significantly lower cost base, and an accelerated path to non-GAAP profitability. We have been investing for years in products to power the future of banking. We are now able to deploy more efficiently, supported by our Blend Builder platform, and as a result, we are doing more for our customers. Therefore, we believe we are in a strong position to deliver on our long-term goals.”

Gross Margin & Profitability

•Blend GAAP and non-GAAP gross profit margin was approximately 55%, up from 39% in 2Q22. Both GAAP and Non-GAAP gross profit margin was higher primarily due to an expansion in Blend Platform gross profit margin.

Recent Business Highlights
•Blend Builder Increasing Speed of Revenue and Efficiency: Platform guidance exceeded the high end of prior guidance by 8%. Blend Builder also enables the company to increase speed of innovation and deploy more efficiently.
•Growth in Mortgage Suite Revenue per Transaction: Blend’s mortgage customers continue to realize incremental value, reflected by increases in adoption of add-on products and increases in renewals. Mortgage Suite revenue per transaction increased from $77 to $93 from the same period last year.

Third Quarter 2023 Outlook
Blend is providing guidance for the third quarter of 2023 as follows:
$ in millions
Q3 2023 Guidance
Blend Platform Revenue$27.0 - 30.0
Title Revenue$11.0 - 12.0
Blend Labs, Inc. Consolidated Revenue$38.0 - 42.0
Non-GAAP Net Operating Loss$17.5 - 15.5

Blend’s Q3 2023 guidance reflects an estimated 6% year-over-year decline in mortgage volumes from Q3 2022 to Q3 2023 as projected by the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Note that economic conditions, including those affecting the levels of real estate and mortgage activity, as well as the financial condition of some of our financial customers, remain highly uncertain.

We have not provided the forward-looking GAAP equivalent to our non-GAAP Net Operating Loss outlook or a GAAP reconciliation as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, stock-based compensation, which is affected by our hiring and retention needs and future prices of our stock, and non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items.

About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, this press release and the accompanying tables contain, and the conference call will contain, non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross profit margin, non-GAAP software gross margin, non-GAAP Platform gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net operating loss, and non-GAAP consolidated net loss per share. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation and warrant amortization expense, compensation realignment costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, restructuring costs, non-recurring acquisition-related costs, non-recurring income tax expenses or benefits related to acquisitions, and the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and trends, in allowing for greater transparency with respect to measures used by our management in their financial and operational decision making, and in comparing our results of operations with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the operational performance of their businesses. However, it is important to note that the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. In addition, other companies may utilize metrics that are not similar to ours.

The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures since they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. Management encourages investors and others to review Blend’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.

We adjust the following items from our non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation and amortization of warrant. We exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of warrant, which are non-cash expenses, from our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding these items provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, companies calculate stock-based compensation expense using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions, and expense related to stock-based awards can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted.

Compensation realignment costs. We exclude the compensation realignment costs incurred in connection with the change in our compensation strategy from our non-GAAP financial measures. These costs relate to amortization of one-time two-installment cash bonus payment made to certain employees in lieu of previously committed equity-based awards, driven by an organizational initiative to standardize our equity compensation program. We believe that excluding these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures provides more meaningful period to period comparisons.

Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense, from our non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.

Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill. We exclude impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, which are non-cash charges, from our non-GAAP financial measures. These charges are unusual in nature and we do not believe these charges have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.



Restructuring costs. We exclude restructuring costs as these costs primarily include employee severance, executive transition costs and other costs directly associated with resource realignments incurred in connection with changing strategies or business conditions. These costs can vary significantly in amount and frequency based on the nature of the actions as well as the changing needs of our business and we believe that excluding them provides easier comparability of pre- and post-restructuring operating results.

Litigation contingencies. We exclude costs related to litigation contingencies, which represent reserves for legal settlements. These costs are non-recurring in nature and we do not believe they have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.

Foreign currency gains and losses. We exclude unrealized gains and losses resulting from remeasurement of assets and liabilities from foreign currency into the functional currency as we do not believe these gains and losses to be indicative of our business performance and excluding these gains and losses provides information consistent with how we evaluate our operating results.

Transaction-related costs. We exclude costs related to mergers and acquisitions from our non-GAAP financial measures as we do not consider these costs to be related to organic continuing operations of the acquired business or relevant to assessing the long-term performance of the acquired assets. These adjustments allow for more accurate comparisons of the financial results to historical operations and forward looking guidance. These costs include financial advisory, legal, accounting and other transactional costs incurred in connection with acquisition activities, and non-recurring transition and integration costs.

Income taxes. We exclude non-cash non-recurring tax benefits from our non-GAAP financial measures. These tax benefits consist of the changes in the valuation allowance resulting from acquisitions and from changes in U.S. tax law requiring capitalization and amortization of research and development costs for tax purposes.
