(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.

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, from loan servicing, and from 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 has offered 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 15. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding the Cybersecurity Incident and related litigation.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $26.9 million and $41.6 million, respectively, of expenses related to the Cybersecurity Incident, net of insurance recoveries, which includes an accrual of $25.0 million in connection with class action litigation related to the Cybersecurity Incident. These cybersecurity related expenses are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. The Company maintains cybersecurity insurance coverage to limit its exposure to losses such as those related to the Cybersecurity Incident. The Company submitted claims to its cybersecurity insurers for reimbursement of some of the costs, expenses, and losses stemming from the Cybersecurity Incident. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company has received $15.0 million of 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 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”). In the opinion of management, the unaudited 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 in LD Holdings (“Holdco Units”) and Class C common stock of the Company, (“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 estimates in certain areas, including determining the fair value of loans held for sale (“LHFS”), loans held for investment (“LHFI”), servicing rights, derivative assets and derivative liabilities, trading securities, awards granted under the incentive equity plan, and determining the loan loss obligation on sold loans and MSRs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

8

Concentration of Risk

The Company has limited its concentration in 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 18% of total loan originations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company sells mortgage loans to various third-party investors. Four investors accounted for 33%, 23%, 17%, and 5% of the Company’s loan sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024. No other investors accounted for more than 5% of the loan sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company funds loans through warehouse and other lines of credit. As of June 30, 2024, 20% and 18% of the Company's warehouse lines were payable to two separate lenders.

Loans Held for Investment, at Fair Value

On April 24, 2024, the Company executed a securitization of a pool of approximately $150.0 million fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, performing, re-performing and non-performing residential mortgage loans, whereby the loans were transferred to statutory trust Mello Mortgage Capital Acceptance 2024-SD1 (“MMCA 2024-SD1”). The Company evaluated the sale of loans to MMCA 2024-SD1 according to ASC 860 - Transfers and Servicing and determined that the transaction does not qualify for sale treatment. As a result, it was recorded as a secured borrowing in which the loans remain on the consolidated balance sheet as loans held for investment, at fair value and the securitization debt is also recognized on the consolidated balance sheet in debt obligations, net. Deferred financing costs and debt discount related to the securitization debt are recorded in debt obligations, net on the consolidated balance sheet and amortized using the effective yield method.

Loans held for investment are accounted for at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in current earnings. All changes in fair value, including changes arising from the passage of time, and the loan related interest income are recognized as components of other income in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income on loans held for investment is recognized using their contractual interest rates. Interest income recognition is suspended for loans when they become 90 days delinquent, or when, in management's opinion, a full recovery of interest and principal becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Interest income on non-accrual loans is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash is received.

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 2023 Form 10-K and below 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.

Loans held for investment - LHFI are valued at the best execution of either investor pricing or market pricing which is predominately driven by known inputs of discount rate, loan-to-value, note rate and delinquency status, and therefore, these LHFI are classified as Level 2.

The following table presents quantitative information about the valuation techniques and unobservable inputs applied to Level 3 fair value measurements for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
Unobservable Input	Range of inputs			Weighted Average(1)	Range of inputs			Weighted Average(1)
IRLCs
Pull-through rate	2.6%	-	99.9%	76.2%	2.7%	-	99.9%	76.7%

Increase 1%	(60,210)		(76,862)
Increase 2%	(116,958)		(148,438)
Cost of Servicing:

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 6 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative instruments utilized by the Company primarily include interest rate lock commitments, forward sale contracts, mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) put options, put options on treasuries, and interest rate swap futures. Derivative

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 8 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company evaluates its involvement with entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the VIE. The Company did not provide any non-contractual financial support to VIEs for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and year ended December 31, 2023.

19

Consolidated VIEs

LD Holdings

The Company is a holding company with its sole material asset being its equity interest in LD 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 11 – Equity for further details.

Securitization and Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”)

The Company consolidates securitization facilities that finance mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage loans held for investment, as well as SPEs established as trusts to finance mortgage servicing rights and servicing advance receivables. Assets are transferred to a securitization or trust, which issues beneficial interests collateralized by the transferred assets, entitling the investors to specified cash flows. The Company may retain beneficial interests in the transferred assets and also holds conditional repurchase options specific to these securitizations that allow 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 period 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.

Retained interests

In April 2024, the Company completed a transfer and securitization of a pool of performing, re-performing and non-performing residential mortgage loans. Pursuant to the credit risk retention requirements, mello Credit Strategies LLC, as sponsor, is required to retain at least a 5% economic interest in the credit risk of the assets collateralizing this securitization transaction. On the closing date, MCS and its wholly owned subsidiary retained a horizontal residual interest in the MMCA 2024-SD1 securitization comprised of the Class B notes and Trust Certificate. The Company determined that MCS is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE as it retains all the risk and reward from the residual interest, and, therefore, the securitization trust is required to be consolidated. As of June 30, 2024, the remaining principal balance of loans transferred to the securitization trust was $148.1 million of which was 90 $4.6 million days or more past due.

The table below presents a summary of the carrying value and balance sheet classification of assets and liabilities in the Company’s 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 June 30, 2024, the remaining principal balance of loans transferred to these securitization trusts was $2.1 billion of which $5.4 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 $4.3 million and $6.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $5.7 million and $9.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and is included in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 9 – WAREHOUSE AND OTHER LINES OF CREDIT

At June 30, 2024, the Company was a party to eight revolving lines of credit with lenders providing $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 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 June 30, 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 have maturities staggered throughout 2024 and through April 2025. As of June 30, 2024, there was one securitization facility with an original three year term scheduled to expire in 2024. All other 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had posted a total of $7.9 million and $7.0 million, respectively, of restricted cash as collateral with our warehouse lenders and securitization facilities of which $5.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively, were the minimum required balances.

22

Under the terms of these warehouse lines, the Company is required to maintain various covenants. As of June 30, 2024, the Company amended certain warehouse lines related to certain profitability covenants, following which the Company was in compliance with 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 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 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.

The following table presents information on warehouse and securitization facilities and the outstanding balance as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Secured Credit Facilities

Secured credit facilities are revolving facilities collateralized by MSRs, trading securities, and servicing advances.

MSR Facilities

In August 2017, the Company established the GMSR Trust to finance its Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights through the issuance of variable funding notes or term notes. Both are secured by participation certificates representing beneficial interests in Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights held by the GMSR Trust with a fair value of $596.1 million as of June 30, 2024. In November 2023, the agreement was amended to provide for $175.0 million in borrowing capacity for the variable funding notes.

24

Securities Financing Facilities

The Company has entered into master repurchase agreements to finance retained interest securities related to its securitizations. The securities financing facilities have an advance rate between 50% and 85% based on classes of the securities and accrue interest at a rate of 90-day SOFR, plus a margin. The securities financing facilities are secured by the trading securities, which represent retained interests in the credit risk of the assets collateralizing certain securitization transactions. As of June 30, 2024, the trading securities had a fair value of $89.5 million on the consolidated balance sheets and there were $75.3 million in securities financing facilities outstanding.

Servicing Advance Facilities

In September 2020, the Company, through its indirect-wholly owned subsidiary loanDepot Agency Advance Receivables Trust (the “Advance Receivables Trust”), entered into a variable funding note facility for the financing of servicing advance receivables with respect to residential mortgage loans serviced by it on behalf of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Pursuant to an indenture, the Advance Receivables Trust can issue up to $100.0 million in variable funding notes (the “2020-VF1 Notes”). The 2020-VF1 Notes accrue interest at SOFR, plus a margin per annum and mature in September 2024 (unless earlier redeemed in accordance with their terms). At June 30, 2024, there was $17.2 million in 2020-VF1 Notes outstanding, with pledged servicing advances of $20.1 million.

In November 2021, the Company, through the GMSR Trust, issued variable funding notes secured by principal and interest advance receivables and servicing advance receivables related to residential mortgage loans serviced on behalf of Ginnie Mae. These variable funding notes bear interest at SOFR plus a margin per annum and were scheduled to mature in January 2024. In January 2024, the Company secured a new facility to issue up to $250.0 million in variable funding notes and to extend their maturity to January 2025. As of June 30, 2024, there was $32.8 million outstanding on the variable funding notes, with pledged servicing advances of $48.5 million.

Term Notes

In October 2018, the Company, through the GMSR Trust issued the Series 2018-GT1 Term Notes (“Term Notes”). In September 2023, the Term Notes were extended to mature in October 2025 and accrue interest at SOFR plus a margin per annum. At June 30, 2024, there was $200.0 million in Term Notes outstanding and no unamortized deferred financing costs.

Other Secured Financings

On April 24, 2024, the Company executed a securitization of a pool of approximately $150.0 million fixed-rate and adjustable-rate, performing, re-performing and non-performing residential mortgage loans, whereby the loans were transferred to statutory trust MMCA 2024-SD1. The Company evaluated the sale of loans according to ASC 860 - Transfers and Servicing and determined that the transaction does not qualify for sale treatment. As a result, the securitization was recorded as a secured borrowing in which the loans remain on the consolidated balance sheet as loans held for investment, at fair value and the securitization debt is also recognized on the consolidated balance sheet in debt obligations, net. The secured financing is collateralized by and indexed to the pool of residential mortgage loans held by a VIE. As of June 30, 2024, there was $102.0 million outstanding in other secured financings, net of $9.2 million in debt discount and $1.4 million in unamortized deferred financing costs.

Senior Notes

In October 2020, the Company issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.50% unsecured senior notes due 2025, (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The 2025 Senior Notes will mature on November 1, 2025. Interest on the 2025 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Company may redeem the 2025 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at various redemption prices. In June 2024, the Company completed an offer to exchange any and all of the outstanding 2025 Senior Notes for newly issued Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”). The offer was an exchange for a mixed consideration of $1,100 in cash and principal amount of 2027 Senior Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes tendered at or prior to the expiration date. At the time of expiration, the Company repurchased $478.0 million of 2025 Senior Notes in exchange for $340.6 million of 2027 Senior Notes and cash of $185.0 million resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 8.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Company may redeem the 2027 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at various redemption prices.

The Company evaluated the debt exchange under the guidance in ASC 470-50 Debt - Modifications and Extinguishments. As the present value of the cash flows under the 2027 Senior Notes differed by more than 10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the 2025 Senior Notes, it was determined that the debt was substantially different, and therefore, the transaction was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. A loss on debt extinguishment of $5.7 million was recorded and is included in the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there were $19.8 million in 2025 Senior Notes outstanding and $94 thousand in unamortized deferred financing costs. As of June 30, 2024. there were $340.6 million in 2027 Senior Notes outstanding, $44.1 million of unamortized debt discount and $6.4 million in unamortized deferred financing costs.

In March 2021, the Company issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% unsecured senior notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes” and together with the 2025 Senior Notes and 2027 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes"). The 2028 Senior Notes will mature on April 1, 2028. Interest on the 2028 Senior Notes accrues at a rate of 6.125% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. After April 1, 2024 the Company may redeem the 2028 Senior Notes at various redemption prices. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company repurchased $97.5 million of 2028 Senior Notes at an average purchase price of 87.9% of par, which resulted in a $10.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt recorded in other interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased $0.1 million of 2028 Senior Notes at a purchase price of 60.1% of par, which resulted in a $39,000 gain on extinguishment of debt recorded in other interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased $3.0 million of 2028 Senior Notes at a purchase price of 58.5% of par, resulting in a $1.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt recorded in other interest expense on the consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2024, there were $499.4 million in 2028 Senior Notes outstanding and $4.0 million in unamortized deferred financing costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense on all outstanding debt obligations with variable rates is paid based on SOFR, or other alternative base rate, plus a margin ranging from 0.90% - 4.25%.

NOTE 11 – EQUITY

The Company consolidates the financial results of LD Holdings and reports noncontrolling interest related to the interests held by the Continuing LLC Members. The noncontrolling interest of $283.6 million and $351.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, represented the economic interest in LD Holdings held by the Continuing LLC Members. The Continuing LLC Members have the right to exchange one Holdco Unit and one share of Class B common stock or Class C common stock, as applicable, together for cash or one share of Class A common stock at the Company’s election, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, and reclassifications. As Continuing LLC Members convert shares, noncontrolling interest is adjusted to proportionately reduce the economic interest in LD Holdings with an offset to additional paid-in-capital on the consolidated statements of equity. The following table summarizes the ownership of LD Holdings as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

NOTE 12 – LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share of Class A common stock and Class D common stock is computed by dividing net loss allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class D common stock, respectively, outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share of Class A common stock and Class D common stock is computed by dividing net loss allocated to common stockholders 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 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for Class A common stock and Class D common stock:

The potential dilutive effect of the exchange of Class C common stock for Class A common stock is evaluated under the if-converted method. Reallocation of net income or loss attributable to the dilutive impact of the exchange of Class C common stock for Class A common stock was tax-effected using the combined federal and state rate (less federal benefit) of 26.3% and 26.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 26.3% and 26.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The potential dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units, and ESPP shares is evaluated under the treasury stock method. The following table summarizes the shares that were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the presented periods.

	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2024	June 30, 2023	June 30, 2024	June 30, 2023

(1)Stock options, restricted stock units, and ESPP shares are weighted for the portion of the period for which they were outstanding.

NOTE 13 – 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a deferred tax asset before any valuation allowance of $48.7 million and $88.7 million, respectively, and a deferred tax liability of $98.3 million and $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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 using the combined federal and state rate (less federal benefit) of 26.3% and 26.2%, respectively. 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a valuation allowance of deferred tax assets $0.3 million on tax credits that have limited carryforward periods and may expire prior to the Company being able to

28

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 $58.3 million and $57.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA, refer to Note 15- Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on the TRA liability.

NOTE 15– 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 $12.2 million and $4.3 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in, or a party to, legal actions related to matters that arise in connection with the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company operates in a highly regulated industry and is routinely subject to examinations, investigations, subpoenas, inquiries and reviews by various governmental and regulatory agencies. 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.

29

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. The Company accrues for estimated losses when they are probable to occur and such losses are reasonably estimable. Any estimated loss is subject to significant judgment and is based upon currently available information, a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued. Based on the Company’s current understanding of pending legal and regulatory actions and proceedings, management does not believe that possible losses in excess of the amounts accrued 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, as well as result in changes to the Company’s business practices that could ultimately have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Cybersecurity Incident Class Action Litigation

The Company has been named as a defendant in 23 putative class action cases alleging harm from the Cybersecurity Incident and seeking various remedies, including monetary and injunctive relief. The cases have been consolidated into a single action, In re loanDepot Data Breach Litigation, pending in the Central District of California. On April 17, 2024, the Court appointed a group of five plaintiffs’ firm as lead counsel. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on June 3, 2024. On June 27, 2024, the Court granted a joint stipulation to extend the Company’s response date to the consolidated complaint, until October 1, 2024, while the parties engage in settlement discussions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded an accrual of $25.0 million in connection with this consolidated action. The Company will continue to evaluate information as it becomes known and will record an estimate for any losses in excess of the amounts accrued at the time or times when it is both probable that a loss in excess of the amounts accrued has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. 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 we have received inquiries and requests for information from various states and other regulators, and other government inquiries and/or investigations may be received or commenced. 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 with the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange and an amended complaint was filed on December 21, 2021. Following 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 filed its Motion for Summary Adjudication on November 17, 2023. On January 31, 2024, the Court granted, in part, and denied, in part, the Company’s motion. The plaintiff’s initial demand was for damages in excess of $75.0 million. While the Company’s management believes there are substantial defenses to these allegations, 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 Company does not believe that the amount of loss in excess of the amounts accrued is reasonably estimable in this matter at this time.

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

30

consolidated and 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. A hearing regarding final approval of the settlement was held on April 19, 2024. On May 24, 2024, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered its final judgment dismissing the action. On June 18, 2024, one of the non-lead plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from the district court’s order approving the settlement.

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 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 August 12, 2024. The Company believes there are substantial defenses to these lawsuits. 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.

Telephone Consumer Protection Act Class Action

In June 2022, a putative class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, captioned Jeffrey Kearns v. loanDepot.com, LLC (“Kearns”), in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiff thereafter amended his complaint twice, on August 26, 2022, and October 3, 2023, respectively. The Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”) asserts claims under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 (“TCPA”), alleging the Company sent prerecorded voice calls to cellular telephones without express written consent. The SAC seeks actual and statutory damages under the TCPA, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On October 23, 2023, loanDepot filed its answer to the SAC. On January 26, 2024, plaintiff filed his motion for class certification. The motion has been fully briefed and was set for hearing on June 21, 2024, however, the Court took the hearing off the calendar and advised that it would make its ruling on the briefs. The Company believes it has substantial defenses to this lawsuit and it continues 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.

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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximated $2.9 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value, refer to Note 6- 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. Charge-offs associated with early payoffs, early payment defaults and losses related to representations, warranties, and other provisions are also included.

The activity related to the loan loss obligation for sold loans is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		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 $5.1 million and $0.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

TRA Liability

The Company recognized a TRA liability of $58.3 million and $57.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which represents the Company’s estimate of the aggregate amount that it will pay under the TRA as a result of the offering transaction. The amounts payable under the TRA will vary depending on a number of factors, such as the amount and timing of taxable income attributable to loanDepot, Inc. Refer to Note 14 Related Party Transactions for further detail on the payments.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company's financial condition, cash flows and results of operations from management's perspective and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included under Part I. Item 1 of this report. The results of operations described below are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods. This discussion includes forward-looking information that involves risks and assumptions which could cause actual results to differ materially from management’s expectations. See our cautionary language at the beginning of this report under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and for a more complete discussion of the factors that could affect our future results refer to Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" and Part II, Item 7 “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2023 Form 10-K and elsewhere in our filings with the SEC. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in our Form 10-K.

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.

Key Factors Influencing Our Results of Operations

The residential real estate market and associated mortgage loan origination volumes are influenced by economic factors such as interest rates, housing prices, and 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.

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. The majority of our assets are subject to interest rate risk, including LHFS, LHFI, 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, LHFI 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 decrease, our LHFS, LHFI 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 speeds and causes expected mortgage loan servicing revenues to decrease, which reduces the average life of our servicing portfolio and decreases the value of our servicing rights. 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.

During 2022 and 2023, the Federal Reserve implemented a series of rate adjustments, resulting in a cumulative increase of 5.25 percentage points in the Federal Funds rate. The associated increase in mortgage interest rates has impacted mortgage loan origination volumes, impacting affordability and qualification for homebuyers. The mortgage industry continues to face decreased volumes due to elevated mortgage rates and low inventory of existing homes for sale, driven in part by a large number of existing homeowners benefiting from low-interest rates from previous purchases or refinance. In response to the challenges posed by these market dynamics, we introduced our Vision 2025 Plan in July 2022. Since the initial announcement

33

of Vision 2025, we have consolidated our retail and corporate locations, exited our wholesale business, and expanded offerings on the HELOC platform. We established a joint venture with National HomeCorp, dedicated to extending credit to underserved communities and partnered with Habitat for Humanity to 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 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 renegotiation, optimized marketing spending, and corporate real estate cost reductions, that we expect will benefit our 2024 results. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we achieved and surpassed our goal of $120.0 million in planned program improvements with a total of $121.1 million in annualized cost savings.

Recent Events

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.

The Cybersecurity Incident had a material impact on the Company’s first and second 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 $26.9 million and $41.6 million of expenses related to the Cybersecurity Incident, net of expected insurance recovery, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which includes an accrual of $25.0 million in connection with the related class action litigation. These cybersecurity related expenses are recognized in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. The Company maintains cybersecurity insurance coverage to limit its exposure to losses such as those related to the Cybersecurity Incident. While the Company has submitted claims to its cybersecurity insurers for reimbursement of some of the costs, expenses, and losses stemming from the Cybersecurity Incident, the exact timing and amount of any such reimbursements is not known at this time.

In connection with the Cybersecurity Incident, the Company has been named as a defendant in several lawsuits (Refer to Note 15. 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, in excess of the amounts accrued, the Company currently does not expect that the Cybersecurity Incident will have a material impact in excess of the amounts accrued 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

34

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 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.

Net loss attributable to loanDepot, Inc.	$	(32,211)	$	(23,443)	$	(8,768)	37.4	%

The increase in net loss of $16.1 million was primarily due to a $12.4 million increase in total expenses and $6.4 million decrease in total net revenues. The increase in total expenses was driven by costs associated with our cybersecurity incident and debt exchange transaction, offset by a reduction in salaries and benefits from fewer employees and lower marketing expense aligned with our Vision 2025 Plan. The decrease in total revenues was primarily due to a decrease in the fair value of servicing rights, net, partially offset by an increase in gain on origination and sale of loans, net from higher gain on sale margin and an increase in servicing fee income due to an increase in ancillary income from higher interest rates and higher average custodial balances.

Revenues

Net Interest Income. Net interest income primarily represents income earned on LHFS offset by interest expenses on amounts borrowed under warehouse and other lines of credit to finance these loans until sold. Our LHFS are generally tied to

36

longer-term interest rates while our warehouse lines of credit are tied to short-term interest rates. Therefore, our net interest income is impacted by the term structure of market interest rates. The decrease in net interest income was due to higher cost of funds on warehouse lines as short-term interest rates were higher during the second quarter 2024 and a $60.0 million increase in average balance of warehouse lines, while the average balance of LHFS decreased $47.4 million.

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

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Change $		Change %
(Dollars in thousands)	2024		2023
Discount from loan sales	$	(871)	$	(16,648)	$	15,777	94.8	%
Fair value of servicing rights additions	66,115		75,866		(9,751)		(12.9)
Fair value gains (losses) on IRLC and LHFS	10,534		(23,996)		34,530		143.9
Fair value gains from Hedging Instruments	7,733		40,475		(32,742)		(80.9)
Discount points, rebates and lender paid costs	73,657		81,114		(7,457)		(9.2)
Recovery of (provision for) loan loss obligation for loans sold	9,752		(2,476)		12,228		493.9
Total gain on origination and sale of loans, net	$	166,920	$	154,335	$	12,585	8.2	%

The $12.6 million or 8.2% increase in gain on origination and sale of loans, net was driven by higher gain on sale margins and a recovery of loan losses, partially offset by lower IRLC volume. The recovery for loan loss obligations for the period is a result of a reduction in repurchase requests, lower severities from improved pricing, and reduced exposure from agency investors related to payment history.

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 $1.2 million, or 6.3%, increase in origination income, net, was the result of an increase in HELOC origination fees associated with the growth in HELOC volume, partially offset by a 2.9% decrease in loan origination volumes.

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 $5.6 million or 4.6% reflects higher ancillary income from interest earned on custodial funds due to higher interest rates and higher average custodial balances.

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 decrease of $22.3 million reflects a increased loss of $15.7 million in fair value, net of hedging and a provision for losses of $5.0 million related to the two bulk sales completed during the quarter.

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, interest on cash deposits and interest income and fair value gains or losses from loans held for investment. The decrease of $1.7 million, or 10.2%, is primarily related to a $1.4 million decrease in income from joint ventures and a $1.3 million decrease in escrow and title fee income due to decreased mortgage loan settlement activity, offset by $0.8 million in income related to loans held for investment.

Expenses

Personnel Expense. Personnel expense includes salaries, commissions, incentive compensation, benefits, and other employee costs. The $16.8 million or 10.6% decrease in personnel expense was attributable to lower salaries and benefits of $13.3 million from the 9.3% decrease in headcount related to previously announced costs savings initiatives, and volume-

37

related declines in commissions of $3.5 million. As of June 30, 2024, we had 4,246 employees compared to 4,683 employees as of June 30, 2023.

Marketing and Advertising Expense. The $3.5 million or 10.2% decrease in marketing expense primarily reflects a decrease in organic lead generation due to the lower level of market refinance volume available to route to our consumer direct channel.

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 $4.3 million or 25.1% increase in direct origination expense was the result of increased credit reporting fees during the period.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense includes professional fees, data processing expense, communications expense, and other operating expenses. The $18.3 million or 33.5% increase in general and administrative expense is primarily related to a $20.7 million increase in professional and consulting services as the result of cybersecurity related costs and litigation settlement accrual, offset by a $0.8 million reduction in impairment and other real estate exit costs.

Servicing Expense. The increase of $2.7 million or 47.3% in servicing expense reflects an increase in default and loss mitigation expense associated with an increase in our servicing portfolio and an increase in delinquencies.

Other Interest Expense. The $10.0 million or 23.2% increase in other interest expense was the result of a $5.7 million loss on debt extinguishment of the 2025 Senior Notes, $1.5 million increase in MSR interest expense, $1.0 million increase in servicing advance facility interest expense, and $1.3 million increase related to securitized debt.

Net loss attributable to loanDepot, Inc.	$	(66,466)	$	(66,350)	$	(116)	0.2	%

The decrease of $4.1 million, or 2.9% in net loss was due to an $8.4 million increase in total net revenues, offset by a $5.9 million increase in total expenses. The increase in total revenues was primarily due to an increase in gain on origination and sale of loans, net from higher gain on sale margin and an increase in servicing fee income due to an increase in ancillary income. The increase in total expenses was driven by cybersecurity related costs and loss on extinguishment of debt related to our debt exchange transaction, partially offset by a decrease in salaries and marketing and advertising expenses.

Revenues

Net Interest Income. The decrease in net interest income was predominately driven by higher cost of funds, resulting from increased market rates, partially offset by higher yield on LHFS. The increase was also attributable to a $78.7 million increase in the average balance of warehouse lines while the average balance of LHFS decreased $5.2 million.

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

39

	Six Months Ended June 30,				Change $		Change %
(Dollars in thousands)	2024		2023
Premium (discount) from loan sales	$	19,324	$	(43,317)	$	62,641	144.6	%
Fair value of servicing rights additions	114,491		135,161		(20,670)		(15.3)

Fair value gains (losses) from Hedging Instruments	8,481		(5,655)		14,136		250.0
Discount points, rebates and lender paid costs	133,995		138,560		(4,565)		(3.3)
Recovery of (provision for) loan loss obligation for loans sold	9,174		(12,150)		21,324		175.5
Total gain on origination and sale of loans, net	$	282,981	$	262,487	$	20,494	7.8	%

The increase in gain on origination and sale of loans, net was primarily driven by higher gain on sale margin and a recovery of loan losses, partially offset by a reduction in volume due to higher interest rates and lost volume during the Cybersecurity Incident.

Origination Income, Net. The $2.8 million or 9.1% increase in origination income, net, was the result of an increase in HELOC fees associated with the growth in HELOC volume, partially offset by a 5.1% decrease in loan origination volume.

Servicing Fee Income. The $9.7 million or 4.1% increase was the result of higher ancillary income from custodial funds due to higher interest rates and higher average custodial balances, partially offset by a decrease in servicing fee collections related to the decrease of $4.6 billion in the average UPB of our servicing portfolio.

Change in Fair Value of Servicing Rights, Net. The decrease of $14.8 million reflects an increased loss of $5.6 million in fair value, net of hedge, a provision for losses of $6.1 million due to the two bulk sales completed during the second quarter, and a $2.0 million increase in fallout and decay.

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, interest on cash deposits and interest income and fair value gains or losses from loans held for investment. The decrease of $7.0 million, or 18.8%, is primarily related to a $2.9 million decrease in income from joint ventures, a $2.6 million decrease in escrow and title fee income due to decreased mortgage loan settlement activity, and $2.3 million increase in trading securities fair value losses. partially offset by $0.8 million in income related to loans held for investment.

Expenses

Personnel Expense. The decrease of $23.5 million or 7.9% is primarily due to a $15.7 million decrease in salaries and benefits due to the 9.3% decrease in headcount, a decrease of $4.8 million in severance expenses and a $2.4 million decrease in commissions due to the decrease in loan originations.

Marketing and Advertising Expense. The decrease of $11.1 million or 15.7% primarily reflects the lower 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 Cybersecurity Incident.

Direct Origination Expense. The $5.1 million or 14.8% increase in direct origination expense was the result of increased credit reporting fees during the period.

General and Administrative Expense. The $20.0 million or 18.0% increase in general and administrative expense is primarily related to a $23.6 million increase in professional and consulting services as the result of cybersecurity related costs and litigation settlement accrual, offset by a $1.7 million reduction in impairment and other real estate exit costs..

40

Servicing Expense. The increase of $6.1 million or 58.1% in servicing expense reflects an increase in default and loss mitigation expense associated with an increase in delinquencies and average age of loans serviced, partially offset by a decrease in our servicing portfolio.

Other Interest Expense. The $13.4 million or 15.6% increase in other interest expense was the result of a $5.7 million loss on debt extinguishment of the 2025 Senior Notes, $5.0 million increase in MSR interest expense, $2.0 million increase in servicing advance facility interest expense, and $1.3 million increase related to securitized debt.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The $127.6 million or 19.3% decrease in cash and cash equivalents relates to net losses for the year and repayment of debt obligations, partially offset by proceeds from servicing rights sales.

Loans Held for Sale, at Fair Value. Loans held for sale, at fair value, are primarily fixed and variable rate, 15- to 30-year term first-lien loans that are secured by residential property. The $245.1 million or 11.5% increase reflects $10.5 billion in

41

loan originations, partially offset by $10.2 billion in loan sales and a $122.5 million transfer of loans to loan held for investment.

Loans Held for Investment, at Fair Value. Loans held for investment, at fair value, are the residential mortgage loans securitized in the second quarter of 2024. The securitization transaction did not qualify for sale treatment and was recorded as a secured borrowing. As a result, the loans held for investment and corresponding securitization debt remain on the consolidated balance sheets.

Servicing Rights, at Fair Value. The $416.6 million or 20.8% decrease included a $495.3 million reduction from the sale of servicing rights associated with $31.8 billion in UPB and $78.3 million from principal amortization and prepayments, partially offset by $114.5 million of capitalized servicing rights from servicing-retained loan sales and a $43.9 million increase in fair value.

Warehouse and Other Lines of Credit. The increase of $266.1 million or 13.7% was the result of loan originations outpacing loan sales by $304.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Debt Obligations, net. The decrease of $298.6 million or 13.1% included a decrease in MSR facilities of $237.9 million and a decrease in Senior Notes related to the debt exchange of $184.0 million, partially offset by an increase of $102.0 million in other secured financings due to the loan securitization and an increase of $22.0 million in servicing advance facilities.

Equity. Total equity was $578.9 million and $704.5 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease was attributed to a net loss of $137.4 million and the repurchase of treasury shares at cost of $1.0 million to net settle and withhold tax on vested RSUs, partially offset by stock-based compensation of $10.8 million and an increase to additional paid in capital of $2.1 million primarily related to the TRA liability and deferred taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our liquidity reflects our ability to meet current potential cash requirements. We forecast the need to have adequate liquid funds available to operate and grow our business. As of June 30, 2024, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents were $533.2 million and committed and uncommitted available capacity under our warehouse and other lines of credit was $0.8 billion.

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.

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 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.

Financial Covenants

Our lenders require us to comply with various financial covenants including tangible net worth, liquidity, leverage ratios and profitability. As of June 30, 2024, the Company amended certain warehouse lines and debt obligations related to certain profitability covenants, following which we were in full compliance with all financial covenants. Although these financial covenants limit the amount of indebtedness that we may incur and affect our liquidity through minimum cash reserve

42

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.

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. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with these financial requirements.

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 June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with these financial requirements.

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

Warehouse and Other Lines of Credit

We primarily finance mortgage loans through borrowings under our warehouse and other lines of credit. Under these facilities, we transfer specific loans to our counterparties and receive funds from them. Simultaneously, there is an agreement in place where the counterparties commit to transferring the loans back to us, either at the date the loans are sold or upon our request, and we provide the funds in return. We do not recognize these transfers as sales for accounting purposes. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, our loans remained on warehouse lines for an average of 17 days. Our warehouse facilities are generally short-term borrowings with original maturities between one and two years and our securitization facility is a three year 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 72% of the mortgage loans that we originated during the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2024, we maintained revolving lines of credit with eight counterparties providing warehouse and securitization facilities with borrowing capacity totaling $3.1 billion of which $0.9 billion was committed. Our $3.1 billion of capacity as of June 30, 2024 was comprised of $3.1 billion with maturities staggered throughout 2024 and through April 2025. As of June 30, 2024, we had $2.2 billion of borrowings outstanding and $0.8 billion of additional availability under our facilities. Warehouse and other lines of credit are further discussed in Note 9- 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 June 30, 2024, we had a total of $7.9 million in restricted cash posted as collateral with our warehouse and securitization facilities, of which $5.3 million was the minimum requirement.

Debt Obligations

MSR facilities and Term Notes provide financing for our servicing portfolio investments. As of June 30, 2024 the outstanding balance of our MSR facilities was $742.9 million net of $2.5 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 $909.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and Term Notes are secured by specific participation certificates relating to Ginnie Mae MSRs totaling $596.1 million as of the same date.

43

Securities financing facilities provide financing for the retained interest securities associated with our securitizations. As of June 30, 2024 there were outstanding securities financing facilities of $75.3 million, secured by trading securities with a fair value of $89.5 million.

Servicing advance facilities provide financing for our servicing agreements. As servicer, we 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 June 30, 2024 the outstanding balance on our servicing advance facilities was $49.9 million secured by servicing advance receivables totaling $68.6 million.

Other secured financings as of June 30, 2024 consisted of securitization debt of $102.0 million, net of $9.2 million in debt discount and $1.4 million in unamortized deferred financing costs and related to the securitization of a pool of residential mortgage loans held by a VIE.

Unsecured debt obligations as of June 30, 2024 consisted of Senior Notes totaling $805.3 million net of $10.4 million of deferred financing costs and a discount of $44.1 million. Periodically, and in accordance with applicable laws ,and regulations, we may take actions to reduce or repurchase our 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 to be reduced or repurchased depends on several factors, including market conditions, trading levels of our debt, our cash positions, compliance with debt covenants, and other relevant considerations. During the second quarter of 2024, we repurchased $478.0 million of 2025 Senior Notes in exchange for $340.6 million of 2027 Senior Notes and cash of $185.0 million resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $5.7 million. Debt obligations are further discussed in Note 10- Debt Obligations of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in 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 June 30, 2024 are as follows:

 

	Payments Due by Period
(Dollars in thousands)	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years

Total contractual obligations	$	4,370,982	$	3,121,027	$	266,877	$	861,393	$	121,685

(1)    Amounts exclude deferred financing costs.

(2)    The stated final maturity date is April 25, 2054. The Company, as the issuer, has the option to redeem the notes on or subsequent to the optional redemption date of April 25, 2026, but it is not required.

(3)    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 6 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities and Note 15 - 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 June 30, 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 provided by certain warehouse lenders.

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 2023 Form 10-K. At December 31, 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.

45

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 these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs, gains (losses) from the sale of MSRs, and related hedging gains and losses that represent realized and unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, we began to include the gains (losses) from the sale of MSRs in valuation changes in servicing rights, net of hedging gains and losses to appropriately capture all valuation changes in MSRs up to and including the sales date. Prior periods have been revised to conform with this new presentation. 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, including legal expenses, litigation settlement costs, and commission guarantees, 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. Both IRLCs and LHFS, 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 June 30, 2024 was 44 days; and our average holding period of the loan from funding to sale was 31 days for the six months ended June 30, 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 those of the IRLCs, LHFS, and servicing rights thereby reducing earnings volatility. We take into account various factors and strategies in determining the portion of IRLCs, LHFS, and servicing rights 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,

49

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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 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 June 30, 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.
