Insights

Financial Analyst

Finance of America's reported net loss of $16 million reflects a challenging quarter, albeit with noticeable improvement from adjusted net loss perspectives as evidenced by the 69% pre-tax improvement in the Retirement Solutions sector. The company's strategy to return to profitability may hinge on its positioning within the growing niche of retirement solutions, especially as demographics shift towards an aging population more reliant on home equity-based financing. However, the significant decrease in total revenues year-over-year, alongside reduced total equity, highlights potential vulnerabilities in the face of fluctuating home prices and market interest rates.

The adjusted EBITDA near break-even suggests operational streamlining, but investors should be critical of the sustainability of these improvements, especially considering the 5% decline in funded volume and substantial drops in revenue. Long-term investor confidence could be swayed positively or negatively by the company's ability to leverage its strategic positioning in a modern retirement landscape against the backdrop of economic pressures that influence home equity values.

Market Research Analyst

Focusing on the Retirement Solutions segment, Finance of America has reported a revenue increase of 12% and an adjusted net income of $5 million, a shift to profitability in the division. This improvement, driven by tighter spreads and reduced expenses, may indicate an effective response to market conditions and operational efficiency gains. However, the reduction in funded volume suggests potential demand softness or operational challenges.

Investors should weigh the segment's growth against broader industry trends, such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions influencing borrowing costs and the demographic tailwinds from an aging population. With the segment's focus on reverse mortgages, regulatory changes and housing market dynamics will also play critical roles in shaping its future performance.

Risk Analyst

Reviewing Finance of America's liability structure, the increase in HMBS obligations correlates with the company's securitization activities. While this can be a prudent liquidity strategy, it also heightens sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations and the need for diligent risk management. The balance sheet shows a modest increase in total assets, which may cushion against some volatility, but the 6% decrease in total equity signals a contraction in the financial buffer that protects against market downturns.

Risk-conscious investors should be attuned to the implications of these financial dynamics for the company's creditworthiness and overall market risk profile, as they may affect stock performance in a risk-averse investment climate.

Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: our ability to manage the unique challenges presented by operating as a modern retirement solutions platform rather than a vertically-integrated, diversified lending and complementary services platform due to the transformation of our business; our ability to successfully operate the recently integrated lending platform that we acquired from American Advisors Group in March 2023 and generally, our ability to operate our business profitably; our ability to respond to significant changes in prevailing interest rates and to resume profitable business operations; our geographic market concentration if the economic conditions in our current markets should decline or if our current markets are impacted by natural disasters; our use of estimates in measuring or determining the fair value of the majority of our financial assets and liabilities, which may require us to write down the value of these assets or write up the value of these liabilities if the estimates prove to be incorrect; our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors in our business markets and worldwide financial markets, including a sustained period of higher interest rates; our ability to manage changes in our licensing status, business relationships or servicing guidelines with the Government National Mortgage Association, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development or other governmental entities; our ability to obtain sufficient capital and liquidity to meet the financing and operational requirements of our business and our ability to comply with our debt agreements, including warehouse lending facilities, and pay down our substantial debt; our ability to refinance our debt on reasonable terms as it becomes due; our ability to manage disruptions in the secondary home loan market, including the mortgage-backed securities market; our ability to finance and recover costs of our reverse mortgage servicing operations; our ability to maintain compliance with the extensive regulations we are subject to, including consumer protection laws applicable to reverse mortgage lenders, which may be highly complex; our ability to compete with national banks, which are not subject to state licensing and operational requirements; our ability to manage various legal proceedings, federal or state governmental examinations and enforcement investigations we are subject to from time to time, the results of which are difficult to predict or estimate; our continued ability to remain in compliance with the terms of the consent orders issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which we assumed in connection with our acquisition of operational assets from American Advisors Group; our holding company status and dependency on distributions from Finance of America Equity Capital LLC; our ability to comply with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and avoid the delisting of our common stock from trading on its exchange; our common stock trading history has been characterized by low trading volume, which may result in an inability to sell your shares at a desired price, if at all; and our “controlled company” status under NYSE rules, which exempts us from certain corporate governance requirements and affords stockholders fewer protections.

All of these factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors or to assess the effect of each such new factor on our business. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and any of these statements included herein may prove to be inaccurate. Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements, or our objectives and plans will be achieved. Please refer to “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2024, for further information on these and other risk factors affecting us, as such factors may be amended and updated from time to time in the Company’s subsequent periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s management evaluates performance of the Company through the use of certain measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), including Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Loss per Share.

We define Adjusted Net Loss as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for changes in fair value of loans and securities held for investment and related obligations due to assumption changes, deferred purchase price obligations (including earnouts and Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) obligations), contingent earnout, warrant liability, and minority investments, amortization and impairment of intangibles and other assets, equity-based compensation, certain non-recurring costs, and pro-forma income tax provision adjustments to apply an effective combined corporate tax rate to adjusted consolidated pre-tax loss from continuing operations.

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

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

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

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

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

A reconciliation of our forward-looking Adjusted Earnings per Share outlook to U.S. GAAP Earnings per Share and Net Income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusted items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future U.S. GAAP financial results.
