loanDepot Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

In this article:

Company reports second consecutive quarter of sequential double-digit revenue growth and ongoing cost productivity gains resulting in significant narrowing of net loss

  • Revenue up 31% or $63.9 million from first quarter 2023, primarily driven by higher pull through weighted lock volume and gain on sale margin.

  • Total expenses increased 5% or $15.7 million from first quarter 2023, primarily driven by Vision 2025 related costs and higher direct costs attributable to increased origination volumes, partially offset by cost productivity.

  • Quarterly net loss narrowed by 46% to $49.8 million, or $42.0 million, from first quarter 2023 net loss of $91.7 million primarily due to increased revenues and cost productivity.

  • Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $34.3 million as compared to $60.2 million for the first quarter of 2023.

  • Company continues to maintain strong liquidity profile, exiting the quarter with cash balance of $719.1 million.

IRVINE, Calif., August 08, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, "loanDepot" or the "Company"), today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

"loanDepot continues to make significant progress against the strategic imperatives laid out in our Vision 2025 plan," said President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Martell. "We delivered our second successive quarter of strong top line growth and margin expansion on a sequential basis, and at the same time, continued to drive cost productivity and operating leverage. Importantly, we reduced our sequential quarterly net loss by $66.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 and by $42 million in the second quarter.

"While we continue the work of resetting our cost structure to align with generationally low unit volumes, we are also focused on the other pillars of Vision 2025, including capturing opportunities inherent in our strategy to expand purpose-driven lending that supports first-time homebuyers and diverse communities. During 2022, loanDepot ranked as the country’s third largest mortgage lender for all minorities1. Home ownership is a bedrock of the American Dream and plays a vital role in helping to build strong, stable communities, and further deepening our support for diverse and first-time homebuyers is a critical component of our Vision 2025 plan," Martell added.

"As we move forward in the second half of 2023, we plan to continue maintaining a strong liquidity position and aggressively reduce our costs," said Chief Financial Officer, David Hayes. "Importantly, we are also investing in critical operating platforms, which we expect will deliver higher levels of automation and operating leverage and position us for additional growth and margin expansion in 2024."

Operational Highlights

  • Quarterly non-volume related expenses increased $2.2 million since the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to higher Vision 2025 related expenses and legal accruals.

  • Incurred expenses related to the Vision 2025 plan of $6.8 million during the quarter, including $4.5 million of personnel related expenses and $2.3 million of lease and other asset impairment charges. Vision 2025 expenses totaled $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2023.

  • Accrued $7.5 million of legal expenses related to the settlement of outstanding litigation.

  • Pull through weighted lock volume of $6.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $0.7 billion or 14% from the first quarter of 2023, resulting in quarterly total revenue of $271.8 million, an increase of $63.9 million, or 31%, over the same period.

  • Loan origination volume for the second quarter of 2023 was $6.3 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion or 27% from the first quarter of 2023.

  • Purchase volume increased to 73% of total loans originated during the second quarter, up from 71% of total loans originated during the first quarter of 2023 and up from 59% of total loans originated during the second quarter of 2022.

  • For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our preliminary organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate2 increased to 69% from the first quarter’s refinance rate of 67%. This highlights the efficacy of our marketing efforts, the strength of our customer relationships, and the value of our servicing portfolio for adjacent and complementary revenue opportunities.

  • Net loss for the second quarter of 2023 of $49.8 million as compared to net loss of $91.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net loss decreased quarter over quarter primarily due to an increase in revenues and operating efficiency benefits.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023 was positive $6.5 million as compared to adjusted LBITDA of negative $29.3 million for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) excludes the impact of interest expense on non-funding debt, fair value changes of our mortgage servicing rights, net of hedging results, impairment charges, and other operating expenses.

______________
2
We define organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate as the total unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of loans in our servicing portfolio that are paid in full for purposes of refinancing the loan on the same property, with the Company acting as lender on both the existing and new loan, divided by the UPB of all loans in our servicing portfolio that paid in full for the purpose of refinancing the loan on the same property. The recapture rate is finalized following the publication date of this release when external data becomes available.

Outlook for the third quarter of 2023

  • Origination volume of between $5 billion and $7 billion.

  • Pull-through weighted rate lock volume of between $5.5 billion and $7.5 billion.

  • Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin of between 245 basis points and 285 basis points.

Non-GAAP Financial 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 these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as they add volatility 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, 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 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.
