Second Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights
Generated total revenue, net of $1.236 billion and net income of $139 million, or $0.05 cents per diluted share. Generated total adjusted revenue of $1.002 billion and adjusted net loss of $33 million, or an adjusted loss of $0.02 cents per diluted share.
Rocket Mortgage generated $22 billion in mortgage origination closed loan volume. Gain on sale margin was 2.67%. Rocket gained purchase market share in the quarter, both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter.
Total liquidity was approximately $8.6 billion, as of June 30, 2023, which includes $0.9 billion of cash on-hand, $2.9 billion of corporate cash used to self-fund loan originations, $3.1 billion of undrawn lines of credit, and $1.7 billion of undrawn MSR lines.
Servicing book unpaid principal balance, which includes subserviced loans, was $504 billion at June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, our servicing portfolio includes 2.4 million loans serviced. The portfolio generates approximately $1.4 billion of recurring servicing fee income on an annualized basis.
Rocket Mortgage net client retention rate was 97% over the 12 months ended June 30, 2023. There is a strong correlation between this metric and client lifetime value. We believe our net client retention rate is unmatched among mortgage companies and on par with some of the best performing subscription business models in the world.
Company Highlights
Rocket Mortgage was named #1 in the nation in J.D. Power's 2023 study for client satisfaction in mortgage servicing, the 9th year Rocket Mortgage has earned the accolade. The award is based on client feedback collected by the independent research firm. Rocket Mortgage has been awarded 21 J.D. Power awards in the last 13 years.
In May, we introduced ONE+, a new 1% down home loan program that aims to increase access to homeownership for millions of low-to-moderate-income earning Americans. ONE+ is available to homebuyers purchasing single-family homes – including manufactured homes – whose income is equal to or less than 80 percent of their area median income.
The number of Rocket Accounts grew to 29.3 million, as of June 30, 2023 – an increase of nearly 2 million compared to March 31, 2023. Rocket Accounts gives us valuable signals of home buying readiness and intent and we believe Rocket Account holders are more open to transacting with Rocket now or in the future.
Rocket Environmental, Social, Governance: For-More-Than-Profit
In June, we published our 2022 ESG report, which highlights Rocket's commitment to being a For-More-Than-Profit organization and the positive impact we have had on our communities and environment. The report can be found on the Social Impact tab of our Investor Relations website.
Rocket Mortgage held its fifth annual Rocket Mortgage Classic event from June 27 to July 2, 2023 at the Detroit Golf Club. Since 2019, the Rocket Mortgage Classic has raised nearly $7 million for local charitable organizations, including nearly $4 million for the "Changing the Course" Detroit digital inclusion effort.
The Rock Family of Companies, which includes Rocket Companies, Bedrock and other related companies, announced that the organization's team members have now spent more than 1 million hours volunteering with more than 4,800 community organizations and nonprofits nationwide. Team members have participated in more than 150,000 volunteer events coordinated by the Rocket Community Fund, our partner company.
Recent Developments
On July 31, Rocket Companies' Board of Directors announced the appointment of accomplished fintech executive Varun Krishna as the company's Chief Executive Officer, effective September 5, 2023. Krishna will succeed Bill Emerson, who has served as interim Chief Executive Officer since June 1, 2023. Emerson will continue in his interim role until Krishna joins the Company, and will remain on the Rocket Companies Board while also working with Krishna to ensure a smooth transition of leadership. Krishna has more than 20 years of experience building consumer platform strategies for leading global fintech companies. Most recently, Krishna served as Executive Vice President and General Manager, Consumer Group of Intuit, Inc., where he oversaw the organization's end-to-end suite of consumer and tax products and services, including TurboTax and TurboTax Live. During his tenure, TurboTax Live became the fastest growing product in Intuit's history. Prior to Intuit, Krishna served as Senior Director of Product at PayPal, where he managed the company's global consumer product team.
On July 31, the Company announced that Bob Walters informed the Board of Directors of his intention to retire on September 5, when he will step down from his roles as CEO of Rocket Mortgage and as President and Chief Operating Officer of Rocket Companies. Varun Krishna will succeed Walters at that time as Rocket Mortgage CEO and Emerson will assume the roles of President and Chief Operating Officer for Rocket Companies.
As part of ongoing company-wide focus on efficiency, Rocket Companies streamlined operations through prioritization efforts, cost reduction across expense categories, including a voluntary career transition program conducted in July, and reduction in other third-party costs. As a result of these actions, the Company expects cost savings in the range of $150 to $200 million on an annualized basis. The Company expects to incur a one-time charge of approximately $50 to $60 million related to the voluntary career transition program primarily in the third quarter.
Third Quarter 2023 Outlook
In Q3 2023, we expect adjusted revenue of between $850 million to $1.0 billion.
Direct to Consumer
In the Direct to Consumer segment, clients have the ability to interact with Rocket Mortgage online and/or with the Company's mortgage bankers. The Company markets to potential clients in this segment through various brand campaigns and performance marketing channels. The Direct to Consumer segment derives revenue from originating, closing, selling and servicing predominantly agency-conforming loans, which are pooled and sold to the secondary market. The segment also includes title insurance, appraisals and settlement services complementing the Company's end-to-end mortgage origination experience. Servicing activities are fully allocated to the Direct to Consumer segment and are viewed as an extension of the client experience. Servicing enables Rocket Mortgage to establish and maintain long term relationships with our clients, through multiple touchpoints at regular engagement intervals.

Partner Network
The Rocket Professional platform supports our Partner Network segment, where we leverage our superior client service and widely recognized brand to grow marketing and influencer relationships, and our mortgage broker partnerships through Rocket Pro TPO ("third party origination"). Our marketing partnerships consist of well-known consumer-focused companies that find value in our award-winning client experience and want to offer their clients mortgage solutions with our trusted, widely recognized brand. These organizations connect their clients directly to us through marketing channels and a referral process. Our influencer partnerships are typically with companies that employ licensed mortgage professionals that find value in our client experience, technology and efficient mortgage process, where mortgages may not be their primary offering. We also enable clients to start the mortgage process through the Rocket platform in the way that works best for them, including through a local mortgage broker.

2 We measure the performance of the Direct to Consumer and Partner Network segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Contribution margin is intended to measure the direct profitability of each segment and is calculated as Adjusted Revenue less directly attributable expenses. Directly attributable expenses include salaries, commissions and team member benefits, general and administrative expenses, and other expenses, such as direct servicing costs and origination costs. A loan is considered "sold" when it is sold to investors on the secondary market. See "Summary Segment Results" section later in this document and the footnote on "Segments" in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's forthcoming filing on Form 10-Q for more information. |
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
We remain in a strong liquidity position, with total liquidity of $8.6 billion, which includes $0.9 billion of cash on-hand, $2.9 billion of corporate cash used to self-fund loan originations, a portion of which could be transferred to funding facilities (warehouse lines) at our discretion, $3.1 billion of undrawn lines of credit from financing facilities, and $1.7 billion of undrawn MSR lines. As of June 30, 2023 our available cash position was $3.8 billion, which includes cash on-hand and corporate cash used to self-fund loan originations, combined with the $6.4 billion of mortgage servicing rights, representing a total of $10.2 billion of asset value on our balance sheet.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively "our non-GAAP financial measures") as non-GAAP measures which management believes provide useful information to investors. We believe that the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income (loss), or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define our non-GAAP financial measures differently, and as a result, our measures of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures provide indicators of performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on these measures for planning and forecasting of future periods. Additionally, these measures allow management to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures.
We define "Adjusted Revenue" as total revenues net of the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges). We define "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)" as tax-effected earnings (losses) before share-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), career transition program, change in Tax receivable agreement liability, and the tax effects of those adjustments as applicable. We define "Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share" as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by the diluted weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the applicable period, which assumes the pro forma exchange and conversion of all outstanding Class D common stock for Class A common stock. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings (losses) before interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt, income tax, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), career transition program, and change in Tax receivable agreement liability.
We exclude from each of our non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges) as this represents a non-cash non-realized adjustment to our total revenues, reflecting changes in assumptions including discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, which is not indicative of our performance or results of operation. We also exclude effects of contractual prepayment protection associated with sales of MSRs. Adjusted EBITDA includes Interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of Interest income, net, as these expenses are a direct cost driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
Our definitions of each of our non-GAAP financial measures allow us to add back certain cash and non-cash charges, and deduct certain gains that are included in calculating Total revenues, net, Net income (loss) attributable to Rocket Companies or Net income (loss). However, these expenses and gains vary greatly, and are difficult to predict. From time to time in the future, we may include or exclude other items if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors.
Although we use our non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. Our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures 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.
