“Finance of America delivered solid growth across all segments in the third quarter, demonstrating the power of our diversified platform” stated Patricia Cook, Chief Executive Officer. “We saw strong performance across all of our businesses, reinforcing our strategic goal of building a comprehensive consumer and specialty lender that is primed for growth.”

“Our Reverse business, which serves a large, under-penetrated market, generated another consecutive quarter of record revenue and pre-tax income. Our Commercial and Lender Services segments also continued their recent growth trajectories. Strong demand for single family rental loans from both borrowers and investors helped drive volume and margin expansion. The build out of our new Home Improvement business is also progressing well, and we expect it to start contributing to the bottom line in 2022.”

“We remain laser focused on building resilience into the Mortgage business and driving meaningful, sustained growth across our other specialty finance and lender services segments through further investments. Our unmatched product offering, distribution and capital markets capabilities allow us to capture substantial lifetime household value as we continue to migrate from a product to a customer-centric organization.”

Cash and cash equivalents ended the third quarter at $192 million. The $35 million increase was primarily attributable to the successful execution of three securitizations of loans held for investment or sale during the quarter, net of investments in MSR.

 

   

Total assets grew $440 million from June 30, 2021, primarily as a result of growth in securitized loans held for investment, capitalized MSR, and an increase in cash and cash equivalents.

 

   

Total liabilities grew $387 million on a sequential quarter basis primarily due to an increase in HMBS related obligations and nonrecourse debt of $453 million offset by a decrease in warehouse financing of $87 million.

Funded volume and revenue of $1,157 million and $111 million, respectively, exceeded the highest levels on record set in the previous quarter. This was driven by growth in both new originations and cash-out refinances due to recent home price appreciation.

Completed three securitizations of originations during the quarter totaling $1.2 billion, and served as co-manager on a third-party securitization totaling $0.2 billion.

 

   

The decrease in revenue and pre-tax income compared to the prior year quarter reflects the impact of fair value adjustments related predominantly to increases in modeled prepayment speeds on securitized mortgage assets and MSR.

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 and Adjusted EBITDA 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.
