Third Quarter 2021 Financial and Key Performance Indicator Summary

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights

• Quarterly funded origination volume of $21 billion, compared to $18 billion in the third quarter of 2020 and $25 billion in the second quarter of 2021.
• Total revenue, net of $275 million, compared to $511 million in the prior year quarter and more than triple from $84 million in the second quarter of 2021.
• Total revenue in the Origination segment of $184 million compared to $532 million in the third quarter of 2020 and $117 million in the second quarter of 2021. Gain on sale margin attributable to channels, before giving effect to the impact of capital markets and other activity, was 73 basis points in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 233 basis points in the third quarter of 2020 and flat versus 74 basis points in the second quarter of 2021.
• Total expenses of $175 million for the third quarter of 2021 were up 7% versus the year-ago quarter and were down 11% compared to the second quarter of 2021. The sequential quarter decrease in total expenses was driven by a 16% reduction in Origination segment direct expenses and a 7% decline in Servicing segment direct expenses, while corporate expenses remained flat.
• Net income of $71 million (or $0.51 per share), compared to net income of $264 million (or $1.90 per share) year-over-year, and compared to a net loss of $73 million (or a net loss of $0.53 per share) in the second quarter of 2021.
• Broker Partners increased by more than 2,500 to 7,452 as of September 30, 2021 from the end of the third quarter of 2020, and increased by 714 from the end of the second quarter of 2021.
• During the quarter, Home Point completed the sale of a mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) portfolio of single-family mortgage loans serviced for the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) with an aggregate UPB of approximately $11 billion. The total purchase price for the servicing rights was approximately $122 million. The transaction further streamlined Home Point’s servicing operations, reduced overall portfolio delinquencies, and provided incremental liquidity which was used to reduce outstanding debt.
• Servicing customers of 428,622 at the end of the third quarter of 2021 increased 40% from the end of the third quarter of 2020 and decreased 5% compared to end of the second quarter of 2021. The sequential quarter decrease in servicing customers was primarily due to the sale of the GNMA MSR portfolio, which was completed in the third quarter of 2021.
• Servicing portfolio unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) totaled $125.8 billion as of September 30, 2021, up 70% from the end of the third quarter of 2020, and up 1% from the end of the second quarter of 2021.
• Total servicing portfolio delinquencies improved to 0.9% compared to 6.6% in the year-ago quarter and 1.6% in the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the GNMA servicing portfolio sale and continued growth in new servicing customers. The MSR multiple for the third quarter of 2021 of 4.2x increased from 2.6x in the year-ago quarter and 3.7x in the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by slower prepayment speeds due to higher mortgage interest rates.

Summary Segment Results

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we disclose Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income, and Adjusted net margin as “non-GAAP measures,” which management believes provide useful information to investors. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered 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.

We define Adjusted revenue as Total net revenue exclusive of the impact of the change in fair value of MSRs related to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, net of MSRs hedge and adjusted for Income from equity method investment.

We define Adjusted net income as Net income (loss) exclusive of the impact of the change in fair value of MSRs related to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, net of MSRs hedge.

We exclude changes in fair value of MSRs, net of hedge from each of Adjusted revenue and Adjusted net income (loss) as they add volatility and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. This adjustment does not include changes in fair value of MSRs due to realization of cash flows, which remain in each of Adjusted revenue and Adjusted net income (loss). Realization of cash flows occurs when cash is collected as customers make scheduled payments, partial prepayments of principal, or pay their mortgage in full.

We define Adjusted net margin by dividing Adjusted net income by Adjusted revenue.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income, and Adjusted net margin provides 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. Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income, and Adjusted net margin provide indicators of performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on these measures for planning and forecasting of future periods. The Company measures the performance of the segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Additionally, these measures allow management to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. However, these measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for 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.
