NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

($ are in thousands, unless otherwise indicated)

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS 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, ~~2023~~2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2023.~~2024. 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, ~~2022~~2023 (“~~2022~~2023 Form 10-K”).

Nature of Operations

loanDepot, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) 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, ~~2023~~2024, 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”).

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.

Cybersecurity Incident

On January 8, 2024, the Company announced that it identified a cybersecurity incident that affected certain of the Company’s systems (the “Cybersecurity Incident”). Upon detecting unauthorized activity, the Company promptly took steps to contain and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident and initiated an investigation. The Cybersecurity Incident has now been contained. Based on the Company’s investigation findings to date, during the Cybersecurity Incident, an unauthorized third party gained access to certain sensitive personal information of approximately 16.9 million individuals stored in the Company’s systems. The Company has notified applicable regulators as required and has notified individuals in accordance with applicable law and is offering credit monitoring and identity protection services at no charge to those individuals whose sensitive personal information was identified as potentially being subject to unauthorized access. Refer to Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding the Cybersecurity incident.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized $14.7 million of expenses related to the Cybersecurity Incident, net of expected insurance recovery. The Company maintains cybersecurity insurance coverage to limit its exposure to losses such as those related to the Cybersecurity Incident. The Company has submitted claims to its cybersecurity insurers for reimbursement of some of the costs, expenses, and losses stemming from the Cybersecurity Incident. There were no reimbursements received from the Company’s cybersecurity insurers during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Subsequent to March 31, 2024 and through the date of this filing, the Company has received approximately $15.0 million in reimbursements from its cybersecurity insurers. The exact timing and amount of any additional reimbursements is not known at this time.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are described below and in Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our ~~2022~~2023 Form 10-K.

Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP as codified in the 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.

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

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 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. To conform to the current period presentation, fair value change in servicing rights on the consolidated statements of cash flow includes gains or losses on the sale of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”). Additionally, servicing income on the consolidated statements of operations now includes amounts earned on custodial accounts that were previously included as a reduction in interest 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, determining the loan loss obligation on sold 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 ~~17%~~19% of total loan originations for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023.~~2024.

The Company sells mortgage loans to various third-party investors. ~~Three~~Five investors accounted for ~~11%~~13%, ~~29%~~27%, 33%, 6%, and ~~33%~~5% of the Company’s loan sales for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023.~~2024. No other investors accounted for more than 5% of the loan sales for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023.~~2024.

The Company funds loans through warehouse and other lines of credit. As of March 31, ~~2023, 17%~~2024, 19% and ~~12%~~18% of the Company's warehouse lines were payable to two separate lenders.

NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE

The Company's consolidated financial statements include assets and liabilities that are measured based on their estimated fair values. Refer to Note 1 - Description of Business, Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the ~~2022~~2023 Form 10-K for information on the fair value hierarchy, valuation methodologies, and key inputs used to measure financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value, as well as methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value disclosures for financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis.

Sensitivities are hypothetical changes in fair value and cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of changes in assumptions to changes in fair value may not be linear. 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.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

~~Derivatives~~Derivative instruments utilized by the Company primarily include interest rate lock commitments, forward sale contracts, MBS put options, put options on treasuries, and interest rate swap futures. Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The Company accounts for derivatives as free-standing derivatives and does not designate any derivative financial instruments for hedge accounting. All derivative financial instruments are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in the fair values being reported in current period earnings. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than in support of its

risk management activities. Refer to Note 1- Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2- Fair Value for further details on derivatives in the ~~2022~~2023 Form 10-K.

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~~Company evaluates its involvement with entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the assets and liabilities of the VIEs are consolidated 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)~~should consolidate 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, ~~2023~~2024 and year ended December 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Consolidated VIEs

LD Holdings

The Company is a holding company, with its sole material asset isbeing its equity interest in LD ~~Holdings and as~~Holdings. 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. Refer to Note 10 – Equity for further details.

~~The Company is involved in several types of securitization~~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 securitization facilities that finance mortgage loans held for sale, ~~and~~as well as SPEs established as trusts to finance mortgage servicing rights and servicing advance receivables. ~~The Company sells assets~~Assets are transferred to a securitization or trust, which ~~issue~~issues beneficial interests ~~that are~~ collateralized by the transferred assets, ~~and entitle~~entitling the investors to specified cash ~~flows generated therefrom.~~flows. The Company may retain beneficial interests in the transferred assets ~~sold. The Company~~and also holds ~~certain~~ conditional repurchase options specific to these securitizations, ~~that allow~~allowing 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 securitizations including customary representations and warranties. For securitization facilities, the Company, as seller, has an option to prepay and redeem outstanding classes of issued notes after

a set ~~time~~ period ~~has elapsed.~~of time. 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, preparing and furnishing statements, and loss mitigation efforts including repossession and sale of collateral.

The Company may 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 table below presents a summary of the carrying value and balance sheet classification of assets and liabilities in the Company’s consolidated securitization and SPE VIEs.

Retained interests

In 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 Company determined it was not the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company’s continuing involvement is limited to customary servicing obligations as servicer and servicing administrator 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, ~~2023,~~2024, the remaining principal balance of loans transferred to these securitization trusts was ~~$2.3~~$2.2 billion of which ~~$10.6~~$5.2 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 $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, and $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, ~~and $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022,~~ and is included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 8 – WAREHOUSE AND OTHER LINES OF CREDIT

At March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, the Company was a party to 98 revolving lines of credit with lenders providing ~~$4.1~~$3.1 billion of warehouse and securitization facilities. The facilities are used to fund, and are secured by, residential mortgage loans held for sale. The facilities are repaid using proceeds from the sale of loans. 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. Interest expense is recorded to interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. The base interest rates on the facilities bear interest at ~~SOFR,~~the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), or other alternative base rate, plus a margin. Some of the facilities carry additional fees charged on the total line amount, commitment fees charged on the committed portion of the line, and non-usage fees charged when monthly usage falls below a certain utilization percentage. As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, the interest rate was comprised of the applicable base rate plus a spread ranging from 1.37% to 2.25%. The base interest rate for warehouse facilities is subject to increase based upon the characteristics of the underlying loans collateralizing the lines of credit, including, but not limited to product type and number of days held for sale. The warehouse lines are scheduled to expire through ~~2023.~~2024. As of March 31, ~~2023~~2024 there was one securitization facility with an original three year term scheduled to expire in 2024. All warehouse lines and other lines of credit are subject to renewal based on an annual credit review conducted by the lender.

Certain warehouse line lenders require the Company to maintain cash accounts with minimum required balances at all times. As of March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had posted a total of ~~$7.8~~$8.4 million and ~~$11.0~~$7.0 million, restricted cash as collateral with our warehouse lenders and securitization facilities of which ~~$4.3~~$5.3 million and $4.3 million were the minimum required balances.

Under the terms of these warehouse lines, the Company is required to maintain various ~~financial and other~~ covenants. As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, the Company amended certain warehouse lines related to certain profitability covenants, following which the Company was in compliance with ~~those financial covenants.~~covenants under the warehouse lines.

Securitization Facilities

In October 2021, the Company issued notes and a class of owner trust certificates through an additional securitization facility (“2021-3 Securitization Facility”) backed by a revolving warehouse line of credit. The 2021-3 Securitization Facility is secured by ~~newly originated,~~ first-lien, fixed-rate or adjustable-rate, residential mortgage loans originated in accordance with the criteria of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for the purchase of mortgage loans or in accordance with the criteria of Ginnie Mae for the guarantee of securities backed by mortgage loans. The 2021-3 Securitization Facility issued $500.0 million in notes that bear interest at ~~30-day LIBOR, or other alternative base rate such as~~ SOFR, plus a margin. The 2021-3 Securitization Facility will terminate on the earlier of (i) the three-year anniversary of the initial purchase date, (ii) the Company exercising its right to optional prepayment in full, and (iii) the date of the occurrence and continuance of an event of default.

NOTE 11 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class D common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to loanDepot, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class D common stock, respectively, outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class D common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to loanDepot, Inc. by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class D common stock respectively, outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS was computed using the treasury stock method for Class A RSUs, nonqualified stock options, and ESPP shares and the if-converted method for Class C common stock. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company discontinued the ESPP Plan.

There was no Class B common stock outstanding as of March 31, ~~2023~~2024 or ~~2022.~~2023. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for Class A common stock and Class D common stock:

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 of March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had a deferred tax asset before any valuation allowance of ~~$127.2~~$99.9 million and ~~$70.5~~$88.7 million, respectively, and a deferred tax liability of ~~$230.4~~$163.9 million and ~~$191.6~~$166.5 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, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022~~2023 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, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022~~2023 using the combined federal and state rate (less federal benefit) of ~~27.3%~~26.2%. 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a valuation allowance of deferred tax assets ~~$0.4~~$0.3 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 establish a valuation allowance for 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 ~~$52.1~~$57.9 million and ~~$50.7~~$57.3 million as of March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA, refer to Note 14- Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on the TRA liability.

NOTE 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. These amounts are maintained in segregated bank accounts and are offset with the related liabilities resulting in no amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The balances held for the Company’s customers totaled ~~$3.6~~$2.1 million and ~~$5.1~~$4.3 million at March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

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 may 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.

The ultimate outcome of legal proceedings is uncertain, and the amount of any future potential loss is not considered probable or estimable. The Company expects to incur defense costs and other expenses in connection with any such 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 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 Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the years in which they are resolved.

Cybersecurity Incident Class Action Litigation

The Company has been named as a defendant in 22 putative class action cases alleging harm from the Cybersecurity Incident and seeking various remedies, including monetary and injunctive relief. Nineteen of the cases were filed in the Central District of California and have been consolidated into a single action, In re loanDepot Data Breach Litigation. On April 16, 2024, the Court appointed a group of five plaintiffs’ firm as lead counsel. Plaintiffs were directed to file a consolidated complaint by June 3, 2024.

Additional lawsuits and claims related to the Cybersecurity Incident may be asserted by or on behalf of others seeking damages or other related relief, and government inquiries and/or investigations may be received or commenced. While the

Company believes there are defenses to the lawsuits filed to date, the Company also believes it is reasonably possible that it could incur losses associated with these proceedings. However, at this time, it is not possible to estimate the amount of any loss or range of possible loss that might result from adverse judgments, settlements, penalties or other resolutions of such proceedings based on the early stage thereof, the fact that alleged damages have not been specified, the uncertainty as to the certification of a class or classes and the size of any certified class, as applicable, and the lack of resolution on significant factual and legal issues. The Company will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an estimate for losses at the time or times when it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Losses associated with any adverse judgments, settlements, penalties or other resolutions of such proceedings could be material to the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows in future periods. In addition, defending against such lawsuits and allegations has resulted in and will likely continue to result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

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

Company. On September 21, 2021, Plaintiff filed her complaint ~~led~~ with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange and an amended complaint was filed on December 21, 2021. Following ~~some motion practice,~~the filing of motions, on June 30, 2022, the Company filed its answer and affirmative defenses to the amended complaint. The Company deposed the Plaintiff and ~~anticipates filing~~filed its Motion for Summary ~~Judgment, or in the Alternative, Summary~~ Adjudication on ~~or before May~~November 17, 2023. On January 31, 2024, the Court granted, in part, and denied, in part the Company’s motion. The ~~plaintiff seeks~~Plaintiff’s initial demand was for damages in excess of $75 million. ~~The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit continues to vigorously defend against it. Discovery in this matter is still ongoing.~~

While the Company’s management ~~does not believe~~believes there are substantial defenses to these allegations, ~~have merit,~~ defending such allegations has resulted in and will likely continue to result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources. Discovery in this matter is still ongoing.

~~The ultimate outcome~~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 ~~other legal proceedings is uncertain,~~U.S. securities laws against the Company, certain of its directors, and ~~the amount~~certain of ~~any future potential loss is not considered probable or estimable. The Company will incur defense costs and other expenses~~its officers regarding certain disclosures made 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~~IPO. The two actions were consolidated and ~~financial condition.~~the court appointed a lead plaintiff 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 October 11, 2022, plaintiffs filed an opposition to the Company’s motion to dismiss. The Company’s reply was submitted on November 10, 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. On June 26, 2023, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle the action. On July 26, 2023, plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement with the Court, which the Court granted on January 5, 2024. On March 15, 2024, plaintiffs filed a motion for final approval of the settlement with the Court, which remains pending.

~~Based on~~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 ~~current understanding~~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 Company and that the Company make certain changes to its corporate governance. These derivative actions subsequently were consolidated into a single action (the “California Federal Action”). The California Federal Action currently is stayed. 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 Federal Action”). The Delaware Federal Action currently is stayed. Beginning in June 2023, three substantially similar shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery. Two of the derivative actions were subsequently consolidated into a single action (the “Delaware Chancery Action”). The third action was voluntarily dismissed. The Company’s response to the Delaware Chancery Action is

due on May 13, 2024. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these ~~pending legal actions and proceedings, management~~lawsuits. The Company does not believe that ~~judgments~~a loss is probable or ~~settlements arising from pending or threatened legal matters, individually or~~that the amount of loss is reasonably estimable 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.

~~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. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with its selling and servicing capital requirements.this matter at this time.

Commitments to Extend Credit

The Company enters into IRLCs with customers who have applied for residential mortgage loans and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose the Company to market risk if interest rates change and the loan is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. 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, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022~~2023 approximated ~~$3.2~~$2.7 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value, refer to Note 5- Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities for further information on derivatives.

Loan Loss Obligation for Sold Loans

When the Company sells mortgage loans, it makes customary representations and warranties to the purchasers about various characteristics of each loan such as the origination and underwriting guidelines, 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. The Company establishes a loan repurchase reserve for losses associated with repurchase 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. ~~There have been charge-offs~~Charge-offs associated with early payoffs, early payment defaults and losses related to representations, warranties, and other provisions ~~for the three months ended March 31, 2023.~~

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 ~~$0.8~~$1.2 million and ~~$1.1~~$0.5 million as of March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, respectively.

Overview

We are a customer-centric, technology-empowered residential mortgage platform. Our goal is to be the lender of choice for consumers and the employer of choice by being a company that operates on sound principles of exceptional value, ethics, and transparency. Since our inception, we have significantly expanded our origination platform as well as developed an in-house servicing platform. Our primary sources of revenue are derived from the origination of conventional and government mortgage loans, servicing conventional and government mortgage loans, and providing ancillary services.

~~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~~residential real-estate market and ~~the~~ associated mortgage 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 affected by broader~~ economic factors such as ~~well as the overall strength of the economy,~~interest rates, housing prices, and ~~interest rate fluctuations. Increases in interest rates may affect affordability and the ability for potential home buyers to qualify for a mortgage loan.~~unemployment rates. 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 typically 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.

~~Interest Rates~~Increases in interest rates may affect affordability and the ability for potential home buyers to qualify for a mortgage loan. As interest rates increase, rate and term refinancings become less attractive to consumers. However, rising interest rates during periods of inflationary pressures can make real assets, including real estate, an attractive investment. Demand for real estate may result in ongoing support for purchase mortgages and home price appreciation creating borrower equity that could result in opportunities for cash-out refinancings or home equity lines of credit.

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, theThe majority of our assets are subject to interest rate risk, including LHFS, IRLCs, servicing rights and mandatory trades, forward sales contracts, interest rate swap futures and put 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,~~decrease, 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~~speeds 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~~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.

~~As interest rates increase, rate~~During 2022 and term refinancings become less attractive to consumers. However, rising interest rates during periods of inflationary pressures can make real assets, including real estate, an attractive investment. Demand for real estate may result in ongoing support for purchase mortgages and increasing home price appreciation creating borrower equity that may result in increasing opportunities for cash-out refinancings or home equity loans.

~~Current Market Conditions~~

~~In March~~ 2023, the Federal Reserve ~~raised~~implemented a series of rate adjustments, resulting in a cumulative increase of 5.25 percentage points in the Federal Funds ~~rate by another 0.25 percentage points for a total increase of 4.75 percentage points since the beginning of 2022.~~rate. The ~~resulting~~associated increase in mortgage interest rates has impacted mortgage ~~transaction~~loan origination volumes, ~~which are expected~~impacting affordability and qualification for homebuyers. The mortgage industry continues to ~~continue~~face decreased volumes due to ~~decline~~elevated mortgage rates and low inventory of existing homes for ~~2023 relative~~sale, driven in part by a large number of existing homeowners benefiting from low-interest rates from previous purchases or refinance. In response to ~~2022. As a result of~~the

challenges posed by these market ~~conditions, in July 2022~~dynamics, we ~~announced~~introduced our Vision 2025 ~~plan. The plan’s four primary elements included: 1) Increase focus on purchase transactions while serving increasingly diverse communities across~~Plan in July 2022. Since the ~~country; 2) Execute previously announced growth-generating initiatives; 3) Centralize management~~initial announcement of ~~loan originations and loan fulfillment to enhance quality and effectiveness; and 4) Aggressively rightsize our cost structure. During the second half of 2022~~Vision 2025, we have consolidated our retail and corporate locations, ~~and completed the exit of~~exited 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,~~business, and expanded ~~the~~ offerings on ~~our digital~~the HELOC ~~platform,~~platform. We established a joint venture with National HomeCorp, dedicated to extending credit to underserved communities and ~~announced a new partnership~~partnered with Habitat for Humanity to ~~support~~enhance housing conditions. We transitioned our servicing portfolio to an in-house platform; streamlined our leadership structures; and realigned other aspects of our cost structure. These non-volume related reductions were achieved through measures such as headcount reduction, business process optimization, and the ~~organization's mission to help families build~~consolidation of real estate assets. In November 2023, we announced an additional $120 million annualized productivity improvement program, including $100 million in non-volume related benefits such as vendor contract termination and ~~improve places to call home.~~renegotiation, optimized marketing spending, and corporate real estate cost reductions, that we expect will benefit our 2024 results. Through April 2024, we have achieved $111.6 million, or 93%, of our planned program improvements.

Recent Events

The cybersecurity incident had a material impact on the Company’s first quarter 2024 results, but, based on the information available to date, the Company does not expect the incident to have a material impact on full year 2024 results. In addition to lost revenue, the Company recorded approximately $14.7 million of expenses related to the cybersecurity incident, net of expected insurance recovery, during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company maintains cybersecurity insurance coverage to limit its exposure to losses such as those related to the Cybersecurity Incident. While the Company will be seeking reimbursement of some of the costs, expenses, and losses stemming from the Cybersecurity Incident by submitting claims to the Company’s cybersecurity insurers, the exact timing and amount of any such reimbursements is not known at this time.

The Company has also been named as a defendant in several lawsuits related to this cybersecurity incident (Refer to Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies included in Item 1. Financial Statements), which are seeking various remedies, including monetary and injunctive relief. While we cannot presently quantify the full scope of expenses and other related impacts associated with this cybersecurity incident, including costs associated with any related current or future litigation or regulatory inquiries or investigations, the Company currently does not expect that the cybersecurity incident will have a material impact on its overall financial condition or on its ongoing results of operations.

Refer to Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Item 1C “Cybersecurity” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2024 for more information concerning our risks related to cybersecurity and the Cybersecurity Incident.

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 strength 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 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.

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

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.

The ~~results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 reflect lower volume. The Federal Reserve raised the target federal funds rate seven times~~decrease in ~~2022 and two times during the first quarter~~net loss of ~~2023 which drove an~~$20.2 million was primarily due to a $14.9 million increase in ~~mortgage interest rates. The $295.4~~total net revenues and a $6.5 million decrease in total ~~net~~expenses. The increase in total revenues ~~reflects a $255.0 million decrease~~was primarily due to an increase in gain on origination and sale of loans, net from higher gain on sale margin and ~~$47.1 million~~an increase in servicing fee income due to an increase in ancillary income from higher interest rates and a higher average UPB of our servicing portfolio. The decrease in ~~origination income, net~~total expenses was driven by a reduction in salaries and benefits from ~~lower transaction volumes. Total expenses decreased $291.8 million as a result of lower loan origination volumes, cost reduction efforts directed towards personnel,~~fewer employees and lower marketing ~~expense.~~expense aligned with our Vision 2025 Plan.

Revenues

Net Interest Income. Net interest income represents income earned on LHFS offset by interest expense on amounts borrowed under warehouse and other lines of credit to finance such loans until sold. A ~~$4.7 billion decrease~~$68.0 million increase in the average balance of LHFS coupled with ~~higher costing~~a $107.0 million increase in average balance of warehouse lines and higher cost of funds drove the decrease in net interest income.

Gain on Origination and Sale of Loans, Net. Gain on origination and sale of loans, net, was comprised of the following components:

The ~~decrease~~increase in gain on origination and sale of loans, net was primarily driven by higher gain on sale margin and lower provision for loan losses, partially offset by a reduction in volume due to higher interest rates and ~~a decrease in fair value gains from Hedging Instruments, partially offset by a decrease in fair value losses on IRLCs.~~lost volume during the Cybersecurity Incident.

Origination Income, Net. Origination income, net, reflects the fees that we earn, net of lender credits we pay, from originating loans. Origination income includes loan origination fees, processing fees, underwriting fees, and other fees collected from the borrower at the time of funding. Lender credits typically include rebates or concessions to borrowers for certain loan origination costs. The ~~$47.1~~$1.6 million or ~~79.7% decrease~~13.2% increase in origination income was the result of an increase in HELOC fees associated with the growth in HELOC volume, partially offset by a ~~77.1%~~7.8% decrease in loan origination ~~volumes.~~volumes due to higher interest rates and lost volume during the Cybersecurity Incident.

Servicing Fee Income. Servicing fee income reflects contractual servicing fees and ancillary and other fees (including late charges) related to the servicing of mortgage loans. The increase of ~~$7.9~~$4.2 million or ~~7.1% in servicing income~~3.5% reflects ~~an increase in the weighted average servicing fee, our transition to in-house servicing, and~~ higher ancillary income from ~~the increase in~~custodial funds due to higher interest rates.

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) collection/realization of cash flows, which includes principal amortization and prepayments; and (iii) realized gains or losses on the sales of servicing rights. The increase of ~~$15.6~~$7.5 million reflects lower ~~prepayments of $42.5 million due to the increasing rate environment, partially offset by an increase in~~ fair value losses, net of hedge of ~~$17.0~~$10.2 million, partially offset by higher prepayments of $1.3 million.

Other Income. Other income includes our pro rata share of net earnings from joint ventures, fee income from title, escrow and settlement services for mortgage loan transactions performed by LDSS, the fair value changes in our trading securities, and interest on cash deposits. The decrease of ~~$5.0~~$5.3 million or ~~19.6%~~26.1% was primarily the result of a decrease of ~~$25.5~~$1.2 million in escrow and title fee income due to decreased mortgage loan settlement activity, ~~partially offset by~~ a $1.6 million decrease in trading security income from reduced fair value ~~losses on trading securities of $10.1~~gains, a $1.5 million decrease in income from joint ventures, and ~~an $8.4~~a $0.9 million ~~increase~~decrease in income on cash deposits from lower average cash balances, partially offset by increasing interest rates.

Expenses

Personnel Expense. Personnel expense includes salaries, commissions, incentive compensation, benefits, and other employee costs. The ~~$205.0~~$6.7 million or ~~59.2%~~4.8% decrease in personnel expense ~~included volume-related declines in commissions of $98.3 million. The remaining decrease of $106.6 million~~ was attributable to lower salaries &and benefits of $7.7 million from the ~~51.9%~~13.4% decrease in headcount related to previously announced cost savings ~~initiatives.~~initiatives, partially offset by increase in commissions of $1.0 million. Although loan origination volumes decreased, commissions increased due to guarantees paid associated with lost volume during the Cybersecurity Incident. As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we had ~~4,834~~4,188 employees compared to ~~10,054~~4,834 employees as of March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Marketing and Advertising Expense. The ~~$65.6~~$7.6 million or ~~64.6%~~21.1% decrease in marketing expense primarily reflects the lower ~~lead aggregators from a decline in~~level of market refinance volume available to route to our consumer direct channel as well as our decision to suspend certain marketing expenditures during the ~~total addressable market and cost savings measures affecting national television campaigns.~~Cybersecurity Incident.

Direct Origination Expense. Direct origination expense reflects the unreimbursed portion of direct out-of-pocket expenses that we incur in the loan origination process, including underwriting, appraisal, credit report, loan document and other expenses paid to non-affiliates. The ~~$35.8~~$0.8 million or ~~67.3% decrease~~4.6% increase in direct origination expense ~~was~~reflects higher credit reporting costs which more than offset the ~~result of~~decrease in other costs associated with decreased loan originations volumes during the period.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense includes professional fees, data processing expense, communications expense, and other operating expenses. The ~~$6.4~~$1.6 million or ~~12.8%~~2.9% increase in general and administrative expense included ~~$2.6~~a $2.8 million ~~of software and subscription charges and $2.6 million~~increase in professional and consulting ~~services.~~services primarily attributable to the Cybersecurity Incident, partially offset by a $0.8 million reduction in impairment and other real estate exit costs. In addition, $6.0 million of other cybersecurity expenses were incurred in the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 and were offset by decreases in data processing, communications, and other expenses.

Servicing Expense. ~~In early 2023, we completed the transition~~The increase of ~~our servicing portfolio to our in-house platform. The decrease of $16.7~~$3.4 million or ~~77.5%~~70.9% in servicing expense reflects an increase in default and loss mitigation expense associated with an increase in our ~~shift to in-house servicing.~~servicing portfolio, increase in delinquencies and average age of loans serviced.

Other Interest Expense. The ~~$28.7~~$3.5 million or ~~199.4%~~8.0% increase in other interest expense was the result of ~~a $395.9 million increase in average balances,~~ higher rates on secured credit facilities and a ~~$10.5~~$0.8 million ~~gain on extinguishment of debt from the repurchase of $97.5 million of the 2028 Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2022.~~increase in average balances.

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet ~~our~~ current ~~obligations, including our operating expenses~~ and when applicable, the retirement of our debt and margin calls relating to our Hedging Instruments, warehouse and other lines of credit, secured credit facilities, fund new originations and purchases, meet servicing advance requirements, and make investments as we identify them.potential cash requirements. We forecast the need to have adequate liquid funds available to operate and grow our business. As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were ~~$798.1~~$603.7 million and committed and uncommitted available capacity under our warehouse and other lines of credit was ~~$2.1~~$1.1 billion.

We fund substantially all of the mortgage loans we close through borrowings under our warehouse 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.

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, 2023, approximately 0.1%, or $174.0 million UPB, of our servicing portfolio was in active forbearance.

~~Sources and Uses of Cash~~

Our primary sources of liquidity have been as follows: (i) funds obtained from our warehouse 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 and other lines of credit; (v) payment of interest expense under debt obligations; (vi) payment of operating expenses; (vii) repayment of warehouse 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) repurchases of loans under representation and warranty breaches; and (xii) costs relating to servicing.

We rely on the secondary mortgage market as a source of long-term capital to support our mortgage lending operations. Approximately 73% of the mortgage loans that we originated during the three months ended March 31, 2023 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 our cash on hand, as well as the sources of liquidity described above, will be sufficient to maintain our current ~~operations and fund our~~ loan operations, originations and capital commitments for the next twelve months. However, we will continue to review our liquidity needs in light of current and anticipated mortgage market conditions and we have taken various steps to align our 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 “Part 1. Financial information”~~Covenants

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~~March 31, 2024, the ~~first quarter of 2023, we were required to amend~~Company amended certain ~~of our~~ warehouse lines orand debt obligations related to certain profitability covenants, following which the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve requirements, we may amend 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~~the future 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.

Seller/Servicer Financial Requirements

As seller and servicer, we are subject to minimum net worth, liquidity and other financial requirements. In 2022, both FHFA and Ginnie Mae revised these requirements. Effective from September 30, 2023, minimum net worth requirements for FHFA and Ginnie Mae include a base of $2.5 million plus percentages of the seller/servicer’s residential first lien mortgage servicing UPB serviced for each agency and a percentage of other non-agencies servicing UPB. Base liquidity for the agencies depends on the remittance type and includes specific percentages of the seller/servicer's residential first lien mortgage servicing UPB for each agency, along with a percentage for other non-agencies servicing UPB. Large non-depositories require a liquidity buffer based on UPB for FHFA and Ginnie Mae. The capital ratio for FHFA and Ginnie Mae requires tangible net worth/total assets to be equal to or greater than 6% for both agencies.

Revised FHFA and Ginnie Mae seller servicer minimum financial eligibility requirements effective December 31, 2023 include origination liquidity and third-party ratings. FHFA also requires an annual capital and liquidity plan effective March 31, 2024. As of March 31, ~~2023, following certain amendments,~~2024, we were in ~~full~~ compliance with ~~all financial covenants. Although~~ these financial ~~covenants limit~~requirements.

Ginnie Mae is implementing a risk-based capital requirement effective December 31, 2024. We are assessing the ~~amount~~impact of ~~indebtedness that we may incur~~this upcoming requirement but anticipate no significant change in our ability to meet financial eligibility requirements.

Warehouse 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.Other Lines of Credit

We primarily finance ~~most of our loan originations on a short-term basis using~~mortgage loans through borrowings under our warehouse and other lines of credit. Under these facilities, we ~~agree to~~ transfer ~~certain~~specific loans to our counterparties ~~against the transfer of~~and receive funds ~~by them, with a simultaneous~~from them. Simultaneously, there is an agreement byin place where the counterparties commit to ~~transfer~~transferring the loans back to us, either at the date the loans are sold or ~~on demand by us, against~~upon our request , and we provide the ~~transfer of~~ funds ~~from us.~~in return. We do not recognize these transfers as sales for accounting purposes. During the

three months ended March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, our loans remained on warehouse lines for an average of 1922 days. Our warehouse facilities are generally short-term borrowings with original maturities between one and two ~~years. Our~~years and our securitization ~~facilities are generally two or~~facility is a three year ~~terms.~~term. 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. Our liquidity could be affected as lenders may reassess their exposure to the mortgage origination industry and potentially limit access to uncommitted mortgage warehouse financing or increase associated costs. Moreover, there may be reduced demand from investors to acquire our mortgage loans in the secondary market, further impacting our liquidity. Approximately 73% of the mortgage loans that we originated during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were sold in the secondary mortgage market either directly to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac or securitized into MBS guaranteed by Ginnie Mae. We also sell loans to many private investors.

As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we maintained revolving lines of credit with ~~nine~~eight counterparties providing warehouse and securitization facilities with borrowing capacity totaling ~~$4.1~~$3.1 billion of which ~~$1.4 billion~~$901.0 million was committed. Our ~~$4.1~~$3.1 billion of capacity as of March 31, ~~2023~~2024 was comprised of ~~$3.6~~$3.1 billion with maturities staggered throughout ~~2023 and $0.5 billion maturing in~~ 2024. As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we had ~~$1.8~~$2.1 billion of borrowings outstanding and ~~$2.1~~$1.1 billion of additional availability under our facilities. Warehouse and other lines of credit are further discussed in Note 8- Warehouse and Other Lines of Credit of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1.

When we draw on our warehouse and securitization facilities we must pledge eligible loan collateral. Our warehouse line providers require us to make a capital investment, or “haircut.” upon financing the loan, which is generally based on product types and the market value of the loans. The haircuts are normally recovered from sales proceeds. As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, we had a total of ~~$7.8~~$8.4 million in restricted cash posted as collateral with our warehouse and securitization facilities, of which ~~$4.3~~$5.3 million was the minimum requirement.

~~In addition~~Debt Obligations

MSR facilities and Term Notes provide financing for our servicing portfolio investments. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of our MSR facilities was $986.5 million net of $3.9 million deferred financing costs. The outstanding balance of Term Notes was $200.0 million. MSR facilities are secured by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or Freddie Mac MSRs, which amounted to $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2024 and Term Notes are secured by specific participation certificates relating to Ginnie Mae MSRs totaling $585.0 million as of the same date.

Securities financing facilities provide financing for the retained interest securities associated with our ~~warehouse lines,~~securitizations. As of March 31, 2024, there were outstanding securities financing facilities of $77.5 million, secured by trading securities with a fair value of $91.5 million.

Servicing advance facilities provide financing for our servicing agreements. As servicer, we ~~fund~~are required to fulfill contractual obligations such as principal and interest payments for certain investor as well as taxes, insurance, foreclosure costs, and other necessities to preserve the serviced assets. For GSE-backed mortgages, this obligation extends up to four months, and for other government agency-backed mortgages, it may extend even longer, especially for clients under forbearance plans. The size of servicing advance balances is influenced by delinquency rates and prepayment speeds. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance on our ~~balance sheet through our~~servicing advance facilities was $59.8 million secured by servicing advance receivables totaling $75.6 million.

Unsecured debt obligations as of March 31, 2024 consisted of Senior Notes totaling $1.0 billion net of $7.1 million of deferred financing costs. Periodically, 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~~in accordance with applicable laws orand regulations, we may take ~~steps~~actions to reduce or repurchase our ~~debt through~~debt. These actions can include redemptions, tender offers, cash purchases, prepayments, refinancing, exchange offers, open market or privately-negotiated transactions. The decision on amount of debt ~~if any, that may~~to be reduced or repurchased ~~will depend~~depends on ~~various~~several factors, ~~such as~~including market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash positions, ~~our~~ compliance with debt covenants, and other relevant considerations.

Unsecured debt obligations as of March 31, 2023 consisted of Senior Notes totaling $1.0 billion net of $9.9 million of deferred financing costs. 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 resultedConsolidated Financial Statements contained in ~~a $10.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt recorded in other interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations.~~Item 1.

Dividends and Distributions

As part of our balance sheet and capital management strategies, we suspended our regular quarterly dividend effective March 31, 2022 and for the foreseeable future.

Cash dividends are subject to the discretion of our board of directors and our compliance with applicable law, and depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, level of indebtedness, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, including the satisfaction of our obligations under the TRA, restrictions in our debt agreements, business prospects and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

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.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our estimated contractual obligations as of March 31, ~~2023~~2024 are as follows:

(1) Amounts exclude deferred financing costs.

(2) Represents lease obligations for office space under non-cancelable operating lease agreements.

In addition to the above contractual obligations, we also have interest rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, those commitments have been excluded from the table above. Refer to Note 5- Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities and Note 14- Commitments & Contingencies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 for further discussion on derivatives and other contractual commitments. At this time, we currently believe that our cash on hand, as well as the sources of liquidity described above, will be sufficient to fund our contractual obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, ~~2023,~~2024, 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

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 ~~2022~~2023 Form 10-K. At December 31, ~~2022,~~2023, 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 certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (if dilutive), and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). We exclude from ~~each of~~ these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as they ~~add volatility~~represent non-cash, unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, expenses directly related to the Cybersecurity Incident, net of expected insurance recoveries, including costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, professional fees and commission guarantees (but does not include ongoing costs such as associated litigation expenses), gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, non-cash goodwill impairment, and other impairment charges to intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets, as well as certain costs associated with our restructuring efforts, as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of “net interest income (expense)”, as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Adjustments to Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the pro forma conversion of weighted average Class C shares to Class A common stock.These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Some of these limitations are:

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

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

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

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

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to the Company, or Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share or as an indicator of our operating performance and should

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

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.

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 expect higher loan origination volumes, higher loan margins, increases in the value of our LHFS and IRLCs, and decreases in the value of our Hedging Instruments and servicing rights. In a rising interest rate environment, we expect lower loan origination volumes, lower loan margins, decreases in the value of our LHFS and IRLCs, and increases in the value of our Hedging Instruments 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~~Both IRLCs and 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, ~~2023~~2024 was 3843 days; and our average holding period of the loan from funding to sale was 2630 days for the three months ended March 31, ~~2023.~~2024.

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~~those of the IRLCs, LHFS, and ~~LHFS,~~servicing rights 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 borrowers, 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

agreements with the counterparties, as appropriate. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2023~~2024 and ~~2022,~~2023, we incurred no losses due to nonperformance by any of our counterparties.

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.

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, ~~2023,~~2024, 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. For a further discussion of our material legal proceedings, see Note 14 - 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~~

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 in the risk factors discussed under Part I. "Item 1A. Risk Factors" of our ~~2022~~2023 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March ~~16, 2023.~~15, 2024.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Shares of the Company's Class B common stock or Class C common stock may each be converted, together with a corresponding Holdco 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.
