FINANCE OF AMERICA REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2021 RESULTS

– Net loss for the quarter of $1,336 million or $(6.61) per basic share and $(6.72) per fully diluted share entirely due to a $1,381 million impairment of goodwill and intangible assets –

– Adjusted net income* for the quarter of $70 million or $0.37 per fully diluted share, in line with fourth quarter earnings guidance –

Irving, Texas (March 2, 2022): Finance of America Companies Inc., (“Finance of America” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FOA), a high growth, consumer and specialty lending business, reported financial results for the quarter and year-ended December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights

•

Full year 2021 total originations were $35.6 billion, an increase of 9% compared to 2020 due to strong growth in Reverse and Commercial segments.

•

Total revenue for 2021 of $1,736 million represented a 4% decrease compared to the full year 2020, as a 53% increase in Specialty Finance and Services (SF&S) segments revenue almost entirely offset the decline in Mortgage revenue similarly experienced by the broader market.

•

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment analysis as part of the year end 2021 financial statement close process. Due to a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price, the Company recognized a $1,381 million accounting impairment of the outstanding goodwill and certain intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2021 to align the Company’s book value with a supportable control premium.

•

The above-mentioned impairment contributed to a net loss for the quarter of $1,336 million or $(6.61) of basic EPS and $(6.72) of diluted EPS. Excluding the impairment charge and related tax benefit, the Company generated net income of $15 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

•

For the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company generated adjusted net income* of $70 million and adjusted diluted EPS* of $0.37, in line with fourth quarter earnings guidance.

“Finance of America delivered another solid quarter and met our guidance despite a decline in the mortgage market,” stated Patricia Cook, Chief Executive Officer. “Our SF&S businesses returned record growth in the full year and in the fourth quarter represented over 51% of our revenue and the bulk of adjusted net income. This performance by SF&S demonstrates the value of our unique business model, as these segments delivered strong revenue and earnings growth in a period where the refinance mortgage market declined.

We believe our Reverse and Commercial businesses operate in markets with systemic tailwinds and we will continue to invest in these businesses to fuel further growth. Lender Services saw an expansion in third-party clients as well as increased sales to existing clients, which lead to an increase in operating margins. We remain focused on the growth and profitability of our Home Improvement business and anticipate it will begin contributing to our bottom line in 2022.”

“In our Mortgage business we remain focused on profitability as the market pivots to purchase. Our non-agency products continue to find traction as volume grew 25% quarter over quarter and 113% year over year. Furthermore, we believe there is substantial opportunity for our loan officers and brokers to sell Reverse and Commercial products given the expected decrease in refinance volumes.”

⁽¹⁾

•

Cash and cash equivalents ended the fourth quarter at $141 million. The $51 million decrease was primarily attributable to increased cash invested in proprietary assets and periodic outflows related to payroll and other expenses that are accrued monthly but paid less frequently.

•

Total assets declined 4% from prior quarter due to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets partially offset by increased securitized loans held for investment.

•

Total liabilities grew $470 million on a sequential quarter basis primarily due to an increase in HMBS related obligations and nonrecourse debt of $486 million.

•

The decline in total equity is solely due to the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets during the quarter. Total tangible equity increased $39 million during the fourth quarter.

Calculated for each period as Pre-tax income (loss), excluding impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.

•

Fourth quarter Mortgage Servicing Rights grew to $428 million, up 26% from the prior quarter as we retained servicing on agency loans originated in the retail channel.

•

Revenue in the fourth quarter was negative predominantly due to fair value marks resulting from faster than modeled prepayment speeds in Reverse assets. These marks reflect lifetime impacts across the portfolio. The decrease in total revenue and pre-tax income (loss) excluding impairment of goodwill and intangible assets compared to the prior quarter reflects the impact of fair value adjustments related predominantly to Reverse assets.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only management’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company’s control. It is possible that our actual results, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this release. Results for any specified quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties including, among others; the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business; changes in prevailing interest rates or U.S. monetary policies that affect interest rates that may have a detrimental effect on our business; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors in our markets; our ability to obtain sufficient capital to meet the financing requirements of our business; the use of estimates in measuring or determining the fair value of the majority of our assets and liabilities; the possibility of disruption in the secondary home loan market, including the mortgage-backed securities market; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 originally filed with the SEC on May 25, 2021, as such factors may be amended and updated from time to time in the Company’s subsequent periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this press release and in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s management evaluates performance of the Company through the use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted for change in fair value of loans and securities held for investment due to assumption changes, amortization and other impairments, equity based compensation, change in fair value of deferred purchase price obligations (including earnouts and TRA obligations), warrant liability, and minority investments and certain non-recurring costs.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted Net Income (defined above) adjusted for taxes, interest on non-funding debt and depreciation.

We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (defined above) divided by our weighted average diluted share count, which includes our issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock shares plus Finance of America Equity Capital LLC’s Class A LLC units owned by our noncontrolling interest on an if-converted basis.

The presentation of non-GAAP measures is used to enhance investors’ understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management believes these key financial measures provide an additional view of our performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternate to (i) net income (loss) or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flows determine in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these metrics are: (i) cash expenditures for future contractual commitments; (ii) cash requirements for working capital needs; (iii) cash requirements for certain tax payments; and (iv) all non-cash income/expense items.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or distribute to stockholders. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using our non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. Users of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our non-GAAP financial measures.
