NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation were included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.2023. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Annual Report of loanDepot, Inc. on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20212022 (“20212022 Form 10-K”).

Nature of Operations

loanDepot, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on November 6, 2020 to facilitate the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its Class A common stock and related transactions in order to carry on the business of LD Holdings Group LLC (“LD Holdings”) and its consolidated subsidiaries. loanDepot, Inc.’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange on February 11, 2021 under the ticker symbol “LDI.” loanDepot, Inc. is a holding company and its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings. As of March 31, 20222023 the consolidated subsidiaries of LD Holdings included loanDepot.com, LLC, (“LDLLC”), Artemis Management LLC (“ART”), LD Settlement Services, LLC (“LDSS”), mello Holdings, LLC (“Mello”), and mello Credit Strategies LLC (“MCS”). Unless otherwise noted or indicated by the context, the term, the “Company,” refers (1) prior to the consummation of the IPO to LD Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries, and (2) after the IPO to loanDepot, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including LD Holdings.

The Company engages in the originating, financing, selling, and servicing of residential mortgage loans, and engages in title, escrow, and settlement services for mortgage loan transactions. The Company derives income primarily from gains on the origination and sale of loans to investors, income from loan servicing, and fees charged for settlement services related to the origination and sale of loans.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are described below and in Note 1- Description of Business Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 20212022 Form 10-K.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”)GAAP as codified in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”)FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC” or the “Codification”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

ASC 250 requires thatloanDepot, Inc. is a change in the reporting entity or the consummation of a transaction accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, i.e., a reorganization of entities under common control, be retrospectively applied to the financial statements of all prior periods when the financial statements are issued for a period that includes the date the change in reporting entity or the transaction occurred. Prior to the IPO, the Company completed a reorganization where LLC unitsholding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings held by certain members (“Continuing LLC Members) were exchanged on a 1-for-one basis for Class A holding units (“Holdco Units”) and Class C common stock.as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, continues to beloanDepot, Inc. indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. LD Holdings is also a holding company and has no material assets other than its equity interests in its direct subsidiaries consisting of a 99.99% ownership in LDLLC (the majority asset of the group), and 100% equity ownership in ART, LDSS, Mello, and MCS. As a result of the IPO and reorganization, loanDepot, Inc. became a holding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings and as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, loanDepot, Inc. indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. The IPO and reorganization were considered transactions between entities under common control. The financial results of LD Holdings and


6



its subsidiaries are consolidated with loanDepot, Inc,Inc., and the consolidated net earnings or loss are allocated to the noncontrolling interest to reflect the entitlement of the certain members that still hold Class A holdings units (“Holdco Units”) and Class C common stock, (“Continuing LLC Members.Members”) as of the periods presented.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Company and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. VIEs are entities that have a total equity investment at risk that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, whose equity investors at risk lack the ability to control the entity's activities, or is structured with non-substantive voting rights. The Company evaluates its associations with VIEs, both at inception and when


6



there is a change in circumstance that requires reconsideration, to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidation is required. A primary beneficiary is defined as a variable interest holder that has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest requires both: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs’VIE’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of a VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company has not provided financial or other support during the periods presented to any VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. Other entities that the Company does not consolidate, but for which it has significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain items in prior periods were reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Gain on the origination and sale of loans, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was adjusted to exclude the change in fair value of forward sale contracts, including pair offs hedging MSRs, which are now included in the change in fair value of servicing rights, net on the consolidated statements of operations. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company determined that this change would more appropriately reflect the hedged item and better align with industry practice. Gain on origination and sale of loans, net and change in fair value of servicing rights, net, in the current and prior periods along with the related financial statement disclosures were adjusted to reflect this reclassification in all reports that were issued after the first quarter of 2021.

To conform to the current period presentation, servicing expense on the consolidated statements of operations includes subservicing expense and in-house servicing expense.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through the date of this report and has not identified any recordable or disclosable events that were not already reported in these consolidated financial statements or notes thereto.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Management has made significant estimates in certain areas, including determining the fair value of loans held for sale, servicing rights, derivative assets and derivative liabilities, trading securities, awards granted under the incentive equity plan, and determining the loan loss obligation on sold loans.loans and MSRs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Risk

The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in several financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.

Due to the nature of the mortgage lending industry, changes in interest rates may significantly impact revenue from originating mortgages and subsequent sales of loans to investors, which are the primary source of income for the Company. The Company originates mortgage loans on property located throughout the United States, with loans originated for property located in California totaling approximately 25%17% of total loan originations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023.



7



The Company sells mortgage loans to various third-party investors. Three investors accounted for 36%11%, 29%, and 16%33% of the Company’s loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023. No other investors accounted for more than 5% of the loan sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023.

The Company funds loans through warehouse and other lines of credit. As of March 31, 2022, 18%2023, 17% and 13%12% of the Company's warehouse lines were payable to two separate lenders.

(1)The Company estimates the fair value of MSRs using an option-adjusted spread (“OAS”) model, which projects MSR cash flows over multiple interest rate scenarios in conjunction with the Company’s prepayment model, and then discounts these cash flows at risk-adjusted rates.
(2)Weighted average inputs are based on the committed amounts for IRLCs and the UPB of the underlying loans for servicing rights.

Financial Statement Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company did not have any material assets or liabilities that were recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 20222023 or December 31, 2021.2022.

Financial Statement Items Measured at Amortized Cost

Warehouse and other lines of credit - The Company’s warehouse and other lines of credit bear interest at a rate that is periodically adjusted based on a market index. The carrying value of warehouse and other lines of credit approximates fair value.

Debt obligations, net - Debt consists of secured credit facilities, other secured financings, Term Notes, and Senior Notes. The Company’s secured credit facilities other secured financings, and Term Notes accrue interest at a stated rate of 30-day or 90-day LIBOR, or other alternative base rate, such as SOFR, plus a margin, they are highly liquid and short-term in nature and as a result, their carrying value approximated fair value as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022. Fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes issued in October 2020 and March 2021 were estimated using the quoted market prices at March 31, 2022.2023. The debt obligations are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Also, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption is calculated without changing any other assumption, whereas a change in one factor may result in changes to another. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that actual results would be consistent with the results of these estimates. As a result, actual future changes in servicing rights values may differ significantly from those displayed above.

Because many of the Company’s current derivative agreements are not exchange-traded, the Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the agreements. The Company controls this risk through credit monitoring procedures including financial analysis, dollar limits and other monitoring procedures. The notional amount of the contracts does not represent the Company’s exposure to credit loss.

NOTE 7 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The determination of whether the assets and liabilities of the VIEs are consolidated in the consolidated balance sheets or not consolidated in the consolidated balance sheets depends on the terms of the related transaction and the Company’s continuing involvement, if any, with the VIE. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates VIEs for which it has both (a) the power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, and (b) benefits, as defined, from the VIE. The Company determines whether it holds a significant variable interest in a VIE based on a consideration of both qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the nature, size, and form of its involvement with the VIE. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis. The Company did not provide any non-contractual financial support to VIEs for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and year ended December 31, 2021.2022.

Consolidated VIEs

The Company is a holding company, its sole material asset is its equity interest in LD Holdings and as the sole managing member of LD Holdings, the Company indirectly operates and controls all of LD Holdings’ business and affairs. LD Holdings is considered a VIE and the financial results of LD Holdings and its subsidiaries are consolidated. A portion of net earnings or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interest to reflect the entitlement of the Continuing LLC Members.

The Company is involved in several types of securitization and financing transactions that utilize special purpose entities (“SPEs”). The Company’s principal use of SPEs is to obtain liquidity by securitizing certain of its financial and non-financial assets. SPEs involved in the Company’s securitization and other financing transactions are often considered VIEs.

The Company consolidates warehouse securitization facilities that finance mortgage loans held for sale, and SPEs established as trusts to finance mortgage servicing rights and servicing advance receivables. The Company sells assets to a securitization or trust, which issuesissue beneficial interests whichthat are collateralized by the transferred assets and entitle the investors to specified cash flows generated therefrom. The Company may retain beneficial interests in the assets sold. The Company also holds certain conditional repurchase options specific to these securitizations that allow it to repurchase assets from the securitization entity. The Company’s economic exposure to loss from outstanding third-party financing is generally limited to the carrying value of the assets financed. The Company has retained risks in the warehouse securitizations including customary representations and warranties. For warehouse securitization facilities, the Company, as seller, has an option to prepay and to redeem outstanding classes of issued notes at the Company’s discretion after


17



a set time period has elapsed. The Company generally has discretion regarding when or if it will exercise these options, but would do so only when it was in the Company’s best interest. The Company’s exposure to these entities is primarily through its role as seller, servicer, and administrator. Servicing functions include, but are not limited to, general collection activity, on currentpreparing and noncurrent accounts,furnishing statements, and loss mitigation efforts including repossession and sale of collateral, as well as preparing and furnishing statements. The Company also holds certain conditional repurchase options specific to warehouse securitizations that allow it to repurchase assets from the securitization entity.

collateral.

The Company sellsmay sell mortgage loans to investors through private label securitizations which are accounted for either as sales or secured borrowings. The Company may retain economic interests in the securitized and sold assets, which are generally retained in the form of senior or subordinated interests, residual interests, and/or servicing rights. The Company evaluates its interests in each private label securitization for classification as a VIE. The Company accounts for a securitization as a sale when it has relinquished control over the transferred financial assets and does not hold other interests in the VIE that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s expected residual returns. The Company has an option to exercise a cleanup call to purchase the remaining mortgage loans and any trust property when the remaining aggregate principal balance is less than 10% of the initial aggregate principal balance. The Company completed a private label securitization in the first quarter of 2022 and determined it was the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it retained subordinate interests that expose the Company to more than an insignificant amount of expected losses. The Company consolidated the securitization and accounted for the transaction as a secured borrowing reported in debt obligations, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 9-Debt obligations - Other Secured Financings for further information.

Retained interests

TheIn 2022 and 2021, the Company completed the sale and securitization of non-owner occupied residential mortgage loans. Pursuant to the credit risk retention requirements, the Company, as sponsor, is required to retain at least a 5% economic interest in the credit risk of the assets collateralizing the securitization transactions. The retained interests represent a variable interest in the securitizations. The carrying value of retained interests is included within trading securities, at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company’s continuing involvement is limited to customary servicing obligations as servicing administratorservicer associated with retained servicing rights and the receipt of principal and interest associated with the retained interests. The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to the Company’s assets; holders of the securities issued by each trust can look only to the loans owned by the trust for payment. The retained interests held by the Company are subject principally to the credit risk stemming from the underlying transferred loans. The securitization trusts used to effect these transactions are variable interest entities that the Company does not consolidate. The Company remeasures the carrying value of its retained interests at each reporting date to reflect their current fair value which is included in trading securities, at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, with corresponding gains or losses included in other income on the consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2022,2023, the remaining principal balance of loans transferred to these securitization trusts was $2.0$2.3 billion and no loans wereof which $10.6 million was 90 days or more past due.

Investments in joint ventures

The Company’s joint ventures include investments with home builders, real estate brokers, and commercial real estate companies to provide loan origination services and real estate settlement services to customers referred by the Company’s joint venture partners. The Company is generally not determined to be the primary beneficiary in its joint venture VIEs because it does not have the power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. The Company’s pro rata share of net earnings of joint ventures was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively and is included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense varies from the expense that would be expected based on statutory rates due principally to its organizational structure. As part of the completion of the IPO, the Company became a C Corporation subject to federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to its share of net taxable income of LD Holdings.

As of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had a deferred tax asset before any valuation allowance of $0.1$127.2 million and $0.4$70.5 million, respectively, and a deferred tax liability of $178.1$230.4 million and $193.4$191.6 million, respectively. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The deferred tax liability as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021 relate2022 relates to temporary differences in the book basis as compared to the tax basis of loanDepot, Inc.’s investment in LD Holdings, net of tax benefits from future deductions for payments made under a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) as a result of the IPO. Changes in tax laws and rates may affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities and the Company’s effective tax rate in the future. Deferred income taxes are measured using the applicable tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted at the reporting date. The Company measured its deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022 using the combined federal and state rate (less federal benefit) of 26%27.3%. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of March 31, 2022,2023, the Company had a valuation allowance of deferred tax assets $0.4 million on tax credits that have limited carryforward periods and may expire prior to the Company being able to utilize them. The Company did not haveestablish a valuation allowance on anyfor remaining deferred tax assets as the Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets. The Company recognized a TRA liability of $35.4$52.1 million and $32.9$50.7 million as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA, refer to Note 15-14- Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on the TRA liability.

NOTE 12 – EQUITY

As a result of the IPO and reorganization discussed in Note 1- Description of Business, Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the financial statements for the periods prior to the IPO were adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation.

Prior to the IPO, the Company completed a reorganization by which it changed its equity structure to create a single class of LLC Units in LD Holdings. Prior to that transaction, the capital structure consisted of different classes of membership interests held by Continuing LLC Members. The LLC Units were then exchanged on a 1-for-one basis for Holdco Units and Class C common stock. The Continuing LLC Members have the right to exchange 1 Holdco Unit and 1 share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable, together for cash or one share of Class A common stock at the Company’s election, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, and reclassifications. The Company consolidates the financial results of LD Holdings and reports noncontrolling interest related to the interests held by the Continuing LLC Members.

The noncontrolling interest of $0.9 billion and $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, represented the economic interest in LD Holdings held by the Continuing LLC Members. As Continuing LLC Members convert shares, noncontrolling interest is adjusted to proportionately reduce the economic interest in LD Holdings with an offset to additional paid-in-capital on the consolidated statements of equity. The following table summarizes the ownership of LD Holdings as of March 31, 2022.

NOTE 15–14– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Escrow Services

In conducting its operations, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LDSS and ACT, routinely hold customers' assets in escrow pending completion of real estate financing transactions.

Legal Proceedings



32



The Company is a defendant in, or a party to, legal actions and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against the Company. These matters include actions alleging improper lending practices, improper servicing, quiet title actions, improper foreclosure practices, violations of consumer protection laws, etc. and on account of consumer bankruptcies. In many of these actions, the Company may not be the real party of interest (because the Company is not the servicer of the loan or the holder of the note) but it may appear in the pleadings because it is in the chain of title to property over which there may be a dispute. Such matters may be indemnified and managed by the appropriate party, which is generallymay be the Company’s subservicer or a former subservicer. In other cases, such as lien avoidance cases brought in bankruptcy, the Company is insured by title insurance, and the case is turned over to the title insurer who tenders the Company’s defense. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against the Company. In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such legal actions and proceedings, the Company generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss related to each pending matter may be, if any.

The Company seeks to resolve all litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing, and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Any estimated loss is subject to significant judgment and is based upon currently available information, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss, an accrued liability is established. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued.

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company settled, on an individual basis, a putative Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) class action for a nominal amount. The Company previously disclosed a second putative TCPA class action where (i) the Company filed dispositive motions to dismiss the claims, (ii) the court granted the Company’s motion to stay the matter pending the outcome of a circuit court’s decision in a TCPA mater in which the Company is not a party, and (iii) the Company has determined that the legal action will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.Employment Litigation

On December 24, 2020, the Company received a demand letter from one of the senior members of its operations team alleging, among other things, loan origination noncompliance and various employment related claims, including hostile work environment and gender discrimination, with unspecified damages. The executive has since resigned her position with the

The parties did not resolve the matter at mediation and aOn September 21, 2021, Plaintiff filed her complaint was filedled with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange on September 21, 2021 and an amended complaint was filed on December 21, 2021. In response,Following some motion practice, on February 2, 2022 the Company filed a demurrer to the complaint with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, for failing to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action while still vigorously denying the claims within the complaint. On March 24, 2022, the plaintiff filed her opposition to loanDepot’s demurrer. On March 29,June 30, 2022, the Company filed its replyanswer and affirmative defenses to Plaintiff’s opposition. A hearing was heldthe amended complaint. The Company deposed the Plaintiff and anticipates filing its Motion for Summary Judgment, or in the Alternative, Summary Adjudication on the Company’s demurrer onor before May 12, 2022, at the Superior Court17, 2023.

The court sustained the Company’s demurrerCompany believes this lawsuit is without merit continues to vigorously defend against it. Discovery in full. Plaintiff will have 15 days to amend her claims for hostile work environment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and defamation.this matter is still ongoing.

While the Company’s management does not believe these allegations have merit, defending such allegations couldhas resulted in and will likely continue to result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

The ultimate outcome of the other legal proceedings is uncertain, and the amount of any future potential loss is not considered probable or estimable. The Company will incur defense costs and other expenses in connection with these legal proceedings. If the final resolution of any legal proceedings is unfavorable, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

Based on the Company’s current understanding of these pending legal actions and proceedings, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from pending or threatened legal matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operating results or cash flows of the Company. However, unfavorable resolutions could affect the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the years in which they are resolved.


33




Regulatory Requirements

The Company is subject to various capital requirements by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”); lenders of the warehouse lines of credit; and secondary markets investors. Failure to maintain minimum capital requirements could result in the inability to participate in HUD-assisted mortgage insurance programs, to borrow funds from warehouse line lenders or to sell or service mortgage loans.

Commitments to Extend Credit

The Company is also exposed to credit loss if the loan is originated and not sold to an investor and the customer does not perform. The collateral upon extension of credit typically consists of a first deed of trust in the mortgagor’s residential property. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Total commitments to originate loans as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022 approximated $11.5$3.2 billion and $12.7$2.2 billion, respectively. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value, refer to Note 6-5- Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further information on derivatives.

Loan Loss Obligation for Sold Loans

The Company establishes a loan repurchase reserve for losses associated with repurchased loansrepurchase loan obligations if the Company breached a representation or warranty given to the loan purchaser. Additionally, the Company’s loan loss obligation for sold loans includes an estimate for losses associated with early payoffs and early payment defaults.

Obligation for Sold MSRs

The Company recognizes sales of mortgage servicing rights as sales if title passes, if substantially all risks and rewards of ownership have irrevocably passed to the purchaser, and any protection provisions retained by the Company are minor and can be reasonably estimated.  If a sale is recognized and only minor protection provisions exist, a liability for the estimated obligation associated with those provisions is recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company establishes a reserve related to the reimbursement of the purchase price for any loans

that are prepaid in full within 90 days of the MSR sale transaction. The obligation for sold MSRs was $10.3$0.8 million and $0.4$1.1 million as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021, respectively2022, respectively.

The TRA liability is accounted for as a contingent liability with amounts accrued when deemed probable and estimable. The Company recognized a TRA liability of $35.4$52.1 million and $32.9$50.7 million as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA as a result of the offering transaction. The amounts payable under the TRA will vary depending on a number of factors, such as the amount and timing of taxable income attributable to loanDepot, Inc.


NOTE 1615 – REGULATORY CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
Key Factors Influencing Our Results of Operations
Market and Economic Environment
The consumer lending market and the associated loan origination volumes for mortgage loans are influenced by interest rates and economic conditions. While borrower demand for consumer credit has typically remained strong in most economic environments, general market conditions, including the interest rate environment, unemployment rates, home price appreciation and consumer confidence may affect borrower willingness to seek financing and investor desire and ability to invest in loans. For example, a significant interest rate increase or rise in unemployment could cause potential borrowers to defer seeking financing as they wait for interest rates to stabilize or the general economic environment to improve. Additionally, if the economy weakens and actual or expected default rates increase, loan investors may postpone or reduce their investments in loan products.
The volume of mortgage loan originations associated with home purchases is generally less affected by interest rate fluctuations and more sensitive to broader economic factors as well as the overall strength of the economy, housing prices, and housing prices.interest rate fluctuations. Increases in interest rates may affect affordability and the ability for potential home buyers to qualify for a mortgage loan. Purchase mortgage loan origination volume can be subject to seasonal trends as home sales typically rise during the spring and summer seasons and decline in the fall and winter seasons. This is somewhat offset by purchase loan originations sourced from our joint ventures which experience their highest level of activity during November and December as home builders focus on completing and selling homes prior to year-end. Seasonality has less of an impact on mortgage loan refinancing volumes, which are primarily driven by fluctuations in mortgage loan interest rates.
Fluctuations in Interest Rates
Our mortgage loan refinancing volumes (and to a lesser degree, our purchase volumes), balance sheets, and results of operations are influenced by changes in interest rates and how we effectively manage the related interest rate risk. As interest rates decline, mortgage loan refinance volumes tend to increase, while an increasing interest rate environment may cause a decrease in refinance volumes and purchase volumes. In addition, the majority of our assets are subject to interest rate risk, including LHFS, which consist of mortgage loans held on our consolidated balance sheets for a short period of time after origination until we are able to sell them, IRLCs, servicing rights and mandatory trades, forward sales contracts, interest rate

swap futures and put options that we enter into to manage interest rate risk created by IRLCs and uncommitted LHFS.options. We refer to such mandatory trades, forward sales contracts, interest rate swap futures and put options collectively as “Hedging Instruments.” As interest rates increase, our LHFS and IRLCs generally decrease in value while our Hedging Instruments utilized to hedge against interest rate risk typically increase in value. Rising interest rates cause our expected

mortgage loan servicing revenues to increase due to a decline in mortgage loan prepayments which extends the average life of our servicing portfolio and increases the value of our servicing rights. Conversely, as interest rates decline, our LHFS and IRLCs generally increase in value while our Hedging Instruments decrease in value. In a declining interest rate environment, borrowers tend to refinance their mortgage loans, which increases prepayment speed and causes our expected mortgage loan servicing revenues to decrease, which reduces the average life of our servicing portfolio and decreases the value of our servicing rights. The changes in fair value of our servicing rights are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in changes in fair value of servicing rights, net, in our consolidated statements of operations.

However, rising interest rates are also indicativeduring periods of overall economic growth and inflation that should create more opportunities with respect to cash-out refinancings. In addition, inflation whichinflationary pressures can make real assets, including real estate, an attractive investment.

Current Market Conditions:Conditions
According toIn March 2023, the MBA’s Mortgage Finance Forecast published April 13, 2022, there was approximately $12.7 trillionFederal Reserve raised the Federal Funds rate by another 0.25 percentage points for a total increase of residential4.75 percentage points since the beginning of 2022. The resulting increase in mortgage debt outstanding in the United States at March 31, 2022interest rates has impacted mortgage transaction volumes, which is forecasted to increase to $13.5 trillion by March 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2021, annual one-to-four family residential mortgage origination volumes were $4.0 trillion, of this $2.3 trillion was comprised of refinance volume. Annual one-to-four family residential mortgage origination volumes are expected to decrease by 39%continue to $2.4 trillion by December 31, 2023.decline for 2023 relative to 2022. As a result of market conditions, in July 2022 we announced our Vision 2025 plan. The plan’s four primary driverelements included: 1) Increase focus on purchase transactions while serving increasingly diverse communities across the country; 2) Execute previously announced growth-generating initiatives; 3) Centralize management of this decrease is refinance volume, which is expectedloan originations and loan fulfillment to decrease by $1.7 trillion, partially offset byenhance quality and effectiveness; and 4) Aggressively rightsize our cost structure. During the second half of 2022 we consolidated our retail and corporate locations and completed the exit of our wholesale business. During the first quarter of 2023 we completed the transition of our servicing portfolio to our in-house platform lowering our servicing expense, expanded the offerings on our digital HELOC platform, and announced a $127.0 billion expected increase in purchase volume.new partnership with Habitat for Humanity to support the organization's mission to help families build and improve places to call home.


Key Performance Indicators
We manage and assess the performance of our business by evaluating a variety of metrics. Selected key performance metrics include loan originations and sales and servicing metrics.
Loan Origination and Sales
Loan originations and sales by volume and units are a measure of how successful we are at growing sales of mortgage loan products and a metric used by management in an attempt to isolate how effectively we are performing. We believe that originations and sales are an indicator of our market penetration in mortgage loans and that this provides useful information because it allows investors to better assess the underlying growth ratestrength of our core business. Loan originations and sales include brokered loan originations not funded by us. We enter into IRLCs to originate loans, at specified interest rates, with customers who have applied for a mortgage and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. We believe the volume of our IRLCs is another measure of our growth in originations.overall market share.
Gain on sale margin represents the total of (i) gain on origination and sale of loans, net, and (ii) origination income, net, divided by loan origination volume during period. Gain on the origination and sale of loans, net was adjusted to exclude the change in fair value of forward sale contracts, including pair-offs, hedging MSRs, which are now included in the change in fair value of servicing rights, net on the consolidated statements of operations. We determined that this change would more appropriately reflect the hedged item and better align with industry practices. Gain on origination and sale of loans, net and change in fair value of servicing rights, net, in the current and prior periods along with the related disclosures have been adjusted to reflect this reclassification.
Pull through weighted gain on sale margin represents the total of (i) gain on origination and sale of loans, net, and (ii) origination income, net, divided by the pull through weighted rate lock volume. Pull through weighted rate lock volume is the unpaid principal balance of loans subject to interest rate lock commitments, net of a pull-through factor for the loan funding probability.
Servicing Metrics


37



Servicing metrics include the unpaid principal balance of our servicing portfolio and servicing portfolio units, which represent the number of mortgage loan customers we service. We believe that the net additions to our portfolio and number of units are indicators of the growth of our mortgage loans serviced and our servicing income, but may be offset by sales of servicing rights.

Change in Fair Value of Servicing Rights, Net. Change in fair value of servicing rights, net includes (i) fair value gains or losses net of Hedging Instrument gains or losses; (ii) fallout and decay,collection/realization of cash flows, which includes principal amortization and prepayments; and (iii) realized gains or losses on the sales of servicing rights.

The $5.1decrease of $16.7 million or 19.2% decrease77.5% in subservicingservicing expense reflects our shift to in-house servicing.
Other Interest Expense. The $1.2$28.7 million or 9.3%199.4% increase in other interest expense between periods was the result of a $985.0$395.9 million increase in average outstanding debt obligations primarily resulting from a $225.6 million increase inbalances, higher rates on secured credit facilities, and issuance of the 2028 Senior Notes in March 2021 with an initial balance of $600.0 million. The increase in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was partially offset by a $10.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt from the repurchase of $97.5 million of the 2028 Senior Notes at an average purchase priceduring the first quarter of 87.9%.2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet our current obligations, (includingincluding our operating expenses and, when applicable, the retirement of our debt and margin calls relating to our Hedging Instruments, warehouse and other lines andof credit, secured credit facilities),facilities, fund new originations and purchases, meet servicing advance requirements, and make investments as we identify them. We forecast the need to have adequate liquid funds available to operate and grow our business. As of March 31, 2022,2023, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $554.1$798.1 million and committed and uncommitted available capacity under our warehouse and other lines of credit was $5.0$2.1 billion.
We fund substantially all of the mortgage loans we close through borrowings under our warehouse lines.and other lines of credit. Our mortgage origination liquidity could be affected as our lenders reassess their exposure to the mortgage origination industry and either curtail access to uncommitted mortgage warehouse financing capacity or impose higher costs to access such capacity. Our liquidity may be further constrained as there may be less demand by investors to acquire our mortgage loans in the secondary market. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we increased our cash position and total loan funding capacity with our current and new lending partners.
As a servicer, we are required to advance principal and interest to the investor for up to four months on GSE backed mortgages and longer on other government agency backed mortgages on behalf of clients who have entered a forbearance plan. As of March 31, 2022,2023, approximately 0.6%0.1%, or $898.5$174.0 million UPB, of our servicing portfolio was in active forbearance. While these advance requirements have decreased from the higher levels during 2020, the economic impact of COVID-19 could continue to result in additional advance requirements related to forbearance plans.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our primary sources of liquidity have been as follows: (i) funds obtained from our warehouse lines;and other lines of credit; (ii) proceeds from debt obligations; (iii) proceeds received from the sale and securitization of loans; (iv) proceeds from the sale of servicing rights; (v) loan fees from the origination of loans; (vi) servicing fees; (vii) title and escrow fees from settlement services; (viii) real estate referral fees; and (ix) interest income from LHFS.
Our primary uses of funds for liquidity have included the following: (i) funding mortgage loans; (ii) funding loan origination costs; (iii) payment of warehouse line haircuts required at loan origination; (iv) payment of interest expense on warehouse lines;and other lines of credit; (v) payment of interest expense under debt obligations; (vi) payment of operating expenses; (vii) repayment of warehouse lines;and other lines of credit; (viii) repayment of debt obligations; (ix) funding of servicing advances; (x) margin calls on warehouse and other lines of credit or Hedging Instruments; (xi) payment of tax distributions to holders of Holdco Units; (xii) payments of cash dividends or distributions subject to the discretion of our board of directors, (xiii) repurchases of loans under representation and warranty breaches; and (xiv)(xii) costs relating to servicing and subservicing.servicing.
We rely on the secondary mortgage market as a source of long-term capital to support our mortgage lending operations. Approximately 82%73% of the mortgage loans that we originated during the three months ended March 31, 20222023 were sold in the secondary mortgage market to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or, in the case of MBS guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, are mortgage loans insured or guaranteed by the FHA or VA. We also sell loans to many private investors.

At this time, we currently believe that there are no material market trends that would affect our access to long-term or short-term borrowingscash on hand, as well as the sources of liquidity described above, will be sufficient to maintain our current operations or that would likely cause us to cease to be in compliance with applicable covenants for our indebtedness or that would inhibit our ability toand fund our loan operations and capital commitments for the next twelve months. However, should those trends change, we believewill continue to review our liquidity needs in light of current and anticipated mortgage market conditions and we could retain less or sell additional servicing rights, scale back growth or take other actionshave taken various steps to mitigate any significant increase in demands onalign our liquidity.cost structure with current and expected mortgage origination volumes.

Warehouse Lines and Debt Obligations
Warehouse lines are discussed in Note 8- Warehouse and Other Lines of Credit and debt obligations are discussed in Note 9- Debt Obligations of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item“Part 1. Financial information”

Our lenders require us to comply with various financial covenants including tangible net worth, liquidity, leverage ratios and profitability. As a result of net losses during 2022 and in the first quarter of 2023, we were required to amend certain of our warehouse lines or debt obligations or obtain waivers of profitability related to financial covenants in certain of our debt obligations. We expect that we will need to further amend or obtain waivers in order to maintain compliance with such financial covenants. Our lenders are not required to grant any such amendments or waivers and may determine not to do so. As of March 31, 2023, following certain amendments, we were in full compliance with all financial covenants. Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.
We finance most of our loan originations on a short-term basis using our warehouse lines.and other lines of credit. Under our warehouse lines,these facilities, we agree to transfer certain loans to our counterparties against the transfer of funds by them, with a simultaneous agreement by the counterparties to transfer the loans back to us at the date loans are sold, or on demand by us, against the transfer of funds from us. We do not recognize these transfers as sales for accounting purposes. OnDuring the three months ended March 31, 2023, our loans remained on warehouse lines for an average loans are repurchased withinof 19 days of funding.days. Our warehouse linesfacilities are generally short-term borrowings which mature in less thanwith original maturities between one year with the exception of ourand two years. Our securitization facilities whichare generally have terms of two andor three years.year terms. We utilize both committed and uncommitted loan funding facilities and we evaluate our needs under these facilities based on forecasted volume of loan originations and sales.
As of March 31, 2022,2023, we maintained revolving lines of credit with nine counterparties providing warehouse linesand securitization facilities with fourteen counterparties, our borrowing capacity was $10.9totaling $4.1 billion of which $3.1$1.4 billion was committed. Our $10.9$4.1 billion of capacity as of March 31, 20222023 was comprised of $7.1$3.6 billion with maturities staggered throughout 2022, $2.3 billion maturing in 2023 and $1.5$0.5 billion maturing in 2024. As of March 31, 2022,2023, we had $5.8$1.8 billion of borrowings outstanding and $5.0$2.1 billion of additional availability under our facilities.
When we draw on theour warehouse lines,and securitization facilities we must pledge eligible loan collateral andcollateral. Our warehouse line providers require us to make a capital investment, or “haircut,“haircut.” upon financing the loans,loan, which is generally determined by the type of collateral provided and the warehouse line terms. Our warehouse line providers require a haircut based on product types and the market value of the loans. The haircuts are normally recovered from sales proceeds. As of March 31, 2022,2023, we had $42.5a total of $7.8 million in restricted cash posted as additional collateral with our warehouse lenders and securitization facilities, as compared to $122.4of which $4.3 million as of December 31, 2021.
Interest on our warehouse lines varies by facility and depends onwas the type of loan that is being financed or the period of time that a loan is transferred to our warehouse line counterparty. As of March 31, 2022, interest expense under our warehouse lines was generally based on 30-day LIBOR, or other alternative base rate such as SOFR, plus a margin and in some cases a minimum interest rate and certain commitment and utilization fees apply. Interest is generally payable monthly in arrears or on the repurchase date of a loan, and outstanding principal is payable upon receipt of loan sale proceeds or on the repurchase date of a loan. Outstanding principal related to a particular loan must also be repaid after the expiration of a contractual period of time or, if applicable, upon the occurrence of certain events of default with respect to the underlying loan.
Our warehouse lines require us to comply with various financial covenants including tangible net worth, liquidity, leverage ratios and net income. As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our warehouse lending covenants. Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we believe that these covenants currently provide us with sufficient flexibility to successfully operate our business and obtain the financing necessary to achieve that purpose.requirement.
In addition to our warehouse lines, we fund our balance sheet through our secured and unsecured debt obligations. The availability and cost of funds to us can vary depending on market conditions. From time to time, and subject to any applicable laws or regulations, we may take steps to reduce or repurchase our debt through redemptions, tender offers, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancing, exchange offers, open market or privately-negotiated transactions. The amount of debt, if any, that may be reduced or repurchased will depend on various factors, such as market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash positions, our compliance with debt covenants, and other considerations.

Secured debt obligations as of March 31, 20222023 included secured credit facilities and Term Notes that totaled $957.9 million$1.3 billion net of $5.3$0.7 million of deferred financing costs, as compared to $542.9 million net of $2.7 million of deferred financing costs as of December 31, 2021.costs. Secured debt obligations as of March 31, 2022 included secured credit facilities, other secured financings, and Term Notes. Secured credit facilities included MSR facilities, securities financing facilities, and servicing advance facilities. MSR facilities are secured by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, andor Freddie Mac MSRs. Securities financing facilities are secured by trading securities which represent our retained interest in the credit risk of the assets collateralizingMSRs, certain securitization transactions. Servicing advance facilities are secured by servicing advance receivables, made pursuant to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements or other principal and interest or servicing advance reimbursement amounts.

During the first quarter of 2022, we repurchased $97.5 million of 2028 Senior Notes at an average purchase price of 87.9% of par which resulted in a $10.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt recorded in other interest expense on the consolidated statementstatements of operations.

Our ability to pay dividends depends on our receipt of cash dividends from our operating subsidiaries, which may further restrict our ability to pay dividends as a result of the laws of their jurisdiction of organization or agreements of our subsidiaries, including agreements governing our indebtedness. Future agreements may also limit our ability to pay dividends.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022,2023, we were party to mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, pursuant to which we have access to uncommitted facilities that provide liquidity for recently sold MBS up to the MBS settlement date. These facilities, which we refer to as gestation facilities, are a component of our financing strategy and are off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect: (i) the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities; (ii) the disclosure of our contingent assets and liabilities at the end of each reporting period; and (iii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each reporting period. We continually evaluate these judgments, estimates and assumptions based on our own historical experience, knowledge and assessment of current business and other conditions and our expectations regarding the future based on available information which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from


38



other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application. Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 20212022 Form 10-K. At December 31, 2021,2022, the most critical of these significant accounting policies were policies related to the fair value of loans held for sale, servicing rights, and derivative financial instruments. As of the date of this report, there have been no significant changes to the Company's critical accounting policies or estimates.
When reading our consolidated financial statements, you should consider our selection of critical accounting policies, the judgment and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies and the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) ascertain non-GAAP measures.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 net interest expense)expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and the amortization of intangibles, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance, as well as certain historicalother cost (benefit)or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP 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 “Adjustedinclude our Adjusted Total Revenue” as total revenues, net of the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and the related hedging gains and losses. We define “Adjusted Net Income (Loss)” as tax-effected earnings (loss) before change in fair value of contingent consideration, stock compensation expense and management fees, IPO expense, and the change in fair value of MSRs, net of the related hedging gains and losses, and the tax effects of those adjustments. We define “Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share” asRevenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock, Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Class D common stock outstanding for the applicable period, which assumes the proforma exchange of all outstanding Class C common shares for shares of Class A common stock. We define “AdjustedAdjusted EBITDA (LBITDA)” as earnings (loss) before interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs on non-funding debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of MSRs, net of the related hedging gains and losses, change in fair value of contingent consideration, stock compensation expense and management fees, and IPO related expense.


47



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.. We exclude from each of these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as this represents a non-cash non-realized adjustment to our total revenues, reflecting changes in assumptions including discount ratesthey add volatility and prepayment speed assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, which isare not indicative of ourthe Company’s operating performance or results of operations.operation. We also exclude stockstock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, management feesgains or losses on extinguishment of debt and IPO expensesdisposal 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.

Adjusted TotalEBITDA (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 Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share,Code, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA)therefore subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider thembe considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results asrevenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported under U.S. GAAP.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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to various risks which can affect our business, results and operations. The primary market risks to which we are exposed include interest rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and inflation risk.
We manage our interest rate risk and the price risk associated with changes in interest rates pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Risk Management Policy which (i) quantifies our interest rate risk exposure, (ii) lists the derivatives eligible for use as Hedging Instruments and (iii) establishes risk and liquidity tolerances.


41



Interest Rate Risk
Our principal market exposure is to interest rate risk as our business is subject to variability in results of operations due to fluctuations in interest rates. We anticipate that interest rates will remain our primary benchmark for market risk for the foreseeable future. Changes in interest rates affect our assets and liabilities measured at fair value, including LHFS, IRLCs, servicing rights and Hedging Instruments. In a declining interest rate environment, we would expect our results of operations to be positively impacted by higher loan origination volumes, andhigher loan margins. However, we would expect our results of operations to be negatively impacted by higher actual and projected loan prepayments related to our loan servicing portfolio and a decreasemargins, increases in the value of our servicing rights. As interest rates decline, our LHFS and IRLCs, generally increaseand decreases in the value while


50



of our Hedging Instruments utilized to hedge against interest rate risk decrease in value.and servicing rights. In a rising interest rate environment, we would expect a negative impact on the results of operations of our production activities and a positive impact on the results of operations of our servicing activities (principally through an increaselower loan origination volumes, lower loan margins, decreases in the fair value of our servicing rights). As interest rates increase, our LHFS and IRLCs, generally decreaseand increases in the value whileof our Hedging Instruments typically increase in value.and servicing rights. The interaction between the results of operations of our various activities is a core component of our overall interest rate risk strategy.
IRLCs represent an agreement to extend credit to a potential customer, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set prior to funding. Our LHFS, which are held in inventory awaiting sale into the secondary market, and our IRLCs, are subject to changes in interest rates from the date of the commitment through the sale of the loan into the secondary market. Accordingly, we are exposed to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of the lock commitment through (i) the lock commitment cancellation or expiration date, or (ii) the date of sale into the secondary mortgage market. The average term for outstanding interest rate lock commitments at March 31, 20222023 was 5838 days; and our average holding period of the loan from funding to sale was 2026 days duringfor the three months ended March 31, 2022.2023.
We manage the interest rate risk associated with our outstanding IRLCs, LHFS and servicing rights by entering into Hedging Instruments. Management expects these Hedging Instruments will experience changes in fair value opposite to changes in fair value of the IRLCs and LHFS, thereby reducing earnings volatility. We take into account various factors and strategies in determining the portion of IRLCs, LHFS, and servicing rights that we want to economically hedge. Our expectation of how many of our IRLCs will ultimately close is a key factor in determining the notional amount of Hedging Instruments used in hedging the position.
 
Credit Risk
We are subject to credit risk in connection with our loan sale transactions. While our contracts vary, we provide representations and warranties to purchasers and insurers of the mortgage loans sold that typically are in place for the life of the loan. In the event of a breach of these representations and warranties, we may be required to repurchase a mortgage loan or indemnify the purchaser, and any subsequent loss on the mortgage loan may be borne by us. The representations and warranties require adherence to applicable origination and underwriting guidelines (including those of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae), including but not limited to the validity of the lien securing the loan, property eligibility, borrower credit, income and asset requirements, and compliance with applicable federal, state and local law.
We record a provision for losses relating to such representations and warranties as part of our loan sale transactions. The level of the liability for losses from representations and warranties is difficult to estimate and requires considerable management judgment. The level of loan repurchase losses is dependent on economic factors, trends in property values, investor repurchase demand strategies, and other external conditions that may change over the lives of the underlying loans. We evaluate the adequacy of our liability for losses from representations and warranties based on our loss experience and our assessment of incurred losses relating to loans that we have previously sold and which remain outstanding at the balance sheet date. As our portfolio of loans sold subject to representations and warranties grows and as economic fundamentals change, such adjustments can be material. However, we believe that our current estimates adequately approximate the losses incurred on our sold loans subject to such representations and warranties.
Additionally, we are exposed to credit risk associated with our customers from our LHFS as well as credit risks related to our counterparties including our subservicer, Hedging Instrumentborrowers, counterparties, and other significant vendors. Our ability to operate profitably is dependent on both our access to capital to finance our assets and our ability to profitably originate, sell, and service loans. Our ability to hold loans pending sale and/or securitization depends, in part, on the availability to us of adequate financing lines of credit at suitable interest rates and favorable advance rates.
In general, we manage such risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, dispersing the risk among multiple counterparties, placing contractual limits on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty and entering into netting


42



agreements with the counterparties, as appropriate. During the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021,2022, we incurred no losses due to nonperformance by any of our counterparties.


51



Prepayment Risk
Prepayment risk is affected by interest rates (and their inherent risk) and borrowers’ actions relative to their underlying loans. To the extent that the actual prepayment speed on the loans underlying our servicing rights differs from what we projected when we initially recognized them and when we measured fair value as of the end of each reporting period, the carrying value of our investment in servicing rights will be affected. In general, an increase in prepayment expectations will decrease our estimates of the fair value of the servicing right, thereby reducing expected servicing income. We monitor the servicing portfolio to identify potential refinancings and the impact that would have on associated servicing rights.
Inflation Risk
Almost all of our assets and liabilities are interest rate sensitive in nature. As a result, interest rates and other factors will influence our performance more than inflation. Changes in interest rates do not necessarily correlate with inflation rates or changes in inflation rates. Additionally, our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and our activities and balance sheets are measured with reference to historical cost and/or fair value without considering inflation.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of March 31, 2022,2023, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we and certain of our subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits in state or federal courts regarding violations of state or federal statutes, regulations or common law related to matters arising out of the ordinary course of business. We are not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings. For a further discussion of our material legal proceedings, see Note 1514 - Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Item 1 Financial Statements.” Additionally, below we have described certain other significant legal proceedings.

Securities Class Action Litigation

Beginning in September 2021, two putative class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California asserting claims under the U.S. securities laws against the Company, certain of its directors, and certain of its officers regarding certain disclosures made in connection with the Company’s IPO. The two actions were consolidated in May 2022. A consolidated amended complaint was filed in June 2022, which, in addition to challenging disclosures made in connection with the IPO, alleges that certain disclosures made after the IPO were false and/or misleading. The Company’s motion to dismiss was filed on August 24, 2022. On January 24, 2023, the Court granted, in part, and denied, in part, the Company’s motion to dismiss. The Company’s answer to the consolidated amended complaint was filed on March 3, 2023. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it. The Company does not believe that a loss is probable or that the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in this matter at this time.

Stockholder Derivative Litigation

Beginning in October 2021, four shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against certain of the Company’s directors and officers, alleging, among things, that these defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing the Company to make the disclosures being challenged in the putative securities class action described above and seeking unspecified monetary damages for the


44



Company and that the Company make certain changes to its corporate governance. These derivative actions subsequently were consolidated into a single action (the “California Action”). The California Action currently is stayed pending resolution of a forthcoming motion for summary judgment in the putative securities class action. Beginning in March 2022, two substantially similar shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and then were consolidated into a single action (the “Delaware Action”). The Delaware Action currently is stayed pending resolution of a forthcoming motion for summary judgment in the putative securities class action. The Company believes these lawsuits are without merit. The Company does not believe that a loss is probable or that the amount of loss is reasonably estimable in this matter at this time.


Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes or updates toin the risk factors that were previously disclosed indiscussed under Part I. "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our 20212022 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2022.

Shares of the Company's Class B common stock or Class C common stock may each be converted, together with a corresponding HoldingHoldco Unit, as applicable, at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder of such share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable, for one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A common stock. Each share of the Company’s Class D common stock may be converted into one fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder of such share of Class D common stock. There is no cash or other consideration paid by the holder converting such shares and, accordingly, there is no cash or other consideration received by the Company. The shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company in such conversions are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
