IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI) (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot” or the “Company”), a leading provider of home lending solutions that enable customers to achieve the dream of home ownership, today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

“loanDepot continues to make significant progress against the strategic imperatives laid out in our Vision 2025 plan,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Martell. “We delivered our third successive quarter of significantly lower operating losses driven by margin expansion and the continued benefits of cost reduction, productivity, and operating leverage. Importantly, we also benefited from contributions from our servicing platform, builder partnerships, and home equity lending.

“We continue to aggressively reset our cost structure to address the impact of generationally low unit volumes as we maintain our focused execution of Vision 2025, including capturing opportunities to expand purpose-driven lending in support of the increasingly diverse communities of first-time homebuyers. We believe our proven diversified channel strategy, highly talented team, operating scale, and ongoing cost productivity program will position us well to capitalize on the eventual recovery of the housing market,” Martell added.

“Our focus on cost reduction, margin expansion and effective capital management have been the key drivers underpinning our ability to maintain a strong liquidity position in the face of the ongoing market contraction. Importantly, we ended the third quarter with cash balances essentially unchanged from the prior quarter end,” said Chief Financial Officer David Hayes. “We remain laser focused on maintaining significant levels of liquidity as we work toward run-rate profitability.”

Operational Highlights

  • Quarterly non-volume related expenses decreased $18.7 million since the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower salaries and benefits resulting from lower headcount and lower legal expenses.
  • Incurred expenses related to Vision 2025 plan of $2.5 million during the quarter, including $1.2 million of Vision 2025-related professional services fees, $0.8 million of personnel related expenses and $0.5 million of lease and other asset impairment charges. Vision 2025-related expenses totaled $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Accrued $2.0 million of legal expenses related to the expected settlement of outstanding litigation.
  • Pull through weighted lock volume of $5.7 billion for the third quarter 2023, a decrease of $0.4 billion or 6% from the second quarter of 2023, resulting in quarterly total revenue of $265.7 million, a decrease of $6.2 million, or 2%, over the same period.
  • Loan origination volume for the third quarter of 2023 was $6.1 billion, a decrease of $0.2 billion or 3% from the second quarter of 2023.
  • Purchase volume decreased to 71% of total loans originated during the third quarter, down from 73% of total loans originated during the second quarter of 2023 and up from 70% of total loans originated during the third quarter of 2022.
  • For the three months ended September 30, 2023, our preliminary organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate1 increased to 71% from the second quarter’s refinance rate of 68%. This highlights the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, the strength of our customer relationships, and the value of our servicing portfolio for adjacent and complementary revenue opportunities.
  • Net loss for the third quarter of 2023 of $34.3 million as compared to net loss of $49.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. Net loss decreased quarter over quarter primarily due to a decrease in expenses exceeding the decrease in revenue.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023 was $18.5 million as compared to adjusted EBITDA of $6.5 million for the second quarter of 2023.

_______________

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

Outlook for the fourth quarter of 2023

  • Origination volume of between $4 billion and $6 billion.
  • Pull-through weighted rate lock volume of between $3.8 billion and $5.8 billion.
  • Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin of between 240 basis points and 280 basis points.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (if dilutive), and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as they add volatility and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, non-cash goodwill impairment, and other impairment charges to intangible assets and operating lease right-of-use assets as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of “net interest income (expense),” as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Adjustments to Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the pro forma conversion of weighted average Class C shares to Class A common stock. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Some of these limitations are:

  • they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;
  • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and
  • they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to the Company, or Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share or as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
