Insights

UWMC's Q4 and full-year 2024 results reveal exceptional performance amid challenging market conditions, with full-year loan origination volume reaching $139.4 billion – a 29% increase over 2023. This growth stands out considering 2024 recorded the lowest existing home sales since 1995.

The company's financial transformation is remarkable, swinging from a $69.8 million net loss in 2023 to $329.4 million in net income for 2024. This turnaround was driven by two key factors: volume growth and margin expansion. The total gain margin improved to 110 bps, up 19% from 2023's 92 bps – significantly outperforming industry averages that typically hover around 75-85 bps.

UWMC's ability to triple refinance volume to $43.4 billion despite the high-rate environment demonstrates exceptional execution and product differentiation. Meanwhile, purchase originations reached a record $96.1 billion, showing the company's strengthening position in the core purchase market.

The company's technology investments, particularly ChatUWM's AI capabilities that reduced income calculation time from minutes to seconds, are creating meaningful operational efficiencies. Management's assertion that they can handle double the current volume without adding fixed costs suggests significant embedded operating leverage that could dramatically improve profitability in a more favorable market environment.

With $2.5 billion in available liquidity and a $242.4 billion MSR portfolio, UWMC maintains a strong balance sheet position. The Q1 2025 guidance of $28-35 billion in originations with 90-115 bps gain margins indicates some seasonal slowdown but continued healthy margins.

The company's seventeenth consecutive $0.10 quarterly dividend demonstrates confidence in sustainable cash flow generation, though the declining equity position (from $2.5 billion to $2.1 billion year-over-year) warrants monitoring.

UWM's 2024 results demonstrate remarkable market share expansion in a historically challenging mortgage environment. With industry-wide existing home sales at their lowest since 1995, UWM not only grew total originations by 29% to $139.4 billion but simultaneously expanded gain margins by 19% to 110 bps – a rare achievement in an industry where volume and margin typically move inversely.

The company's wholesale channel focus is proving increasingly effective as broker market share continues to expand. UWM's exceptional Net Promoter Score of +82.5 and industry-leading 17-day application-to-clear-to-close timeline demonstrate why mortgage brokers are increasingly routing business through their platform. These operational metrics significantly outperform industry averages that typically range from 30-45 days for loan processing.

UWM's technology investments are creating measurable competitive advantages. Their AI-powered ChatUWM platform has transformed income calculation from a minutes-long manual process to an automated solution completed in seconds. This technology infrastructure explains management's confident assertion that they could double volume without increasing fixed costs – suggesting a 40-50% potential reduction in unit costs at scale.

The company's product innovation strategy is yielding results, particularly with the Conventional Cash-Out 90 offering that allows borrowers to access up to 89.99% LTV without mortgage insurance – addressing the significant untapped equity in today's housing market estimated at over $11 trillion nationally.

While the $2.1 billion equity position (down from $2.5 billion YoY) warrants monitoring, the $2.5 billion in available liquidity provides substantial operational flexibility. The MSR portfolio at $242.4 billion with a 4.76% WAC represents a valuable asset that should generate significant servicing income while providing natural hedging against market shifts.

The Q1 guidance suggests typical seasonal moderation but maintains healthy margins, positioning UWM to capitalize on potential market expansion as rates potentially decline through 2025.

Our dominance in the mortgage industry comes down to one simple truth: We never stop improving so we can be the best option for our partners and their borrowers. I am particularly proud of our team for delivering a record year of purchase production in 2024, which was the lowest year for existing home sales in the US since 1995. In addition we tripled our refinance volume in 2024 compared to 2023 despite the interest rate environment. We have also continued to invest in our people and technology such that we believe we can do double the volume without adding to our fixed costs.

https://registrations.events/direct/Q4I329117

Key Operational Metrics

“Loan origination volume” and “Total gain margin” are key operational metrics that the Company's management uses to evaluate the performance of the business. “Loan origination volume” is the aggregate principal of the residential mortgage loans originated by the Company during a period. “Total gain margin” represents total loan production income divided by loan origination volume for the applicable periods.

Non-GAAP Metrics

The Company's net income does not reflect the income tax provision that would otherwise be reflected if 100% of the economic interest in UWM was owned by the Company. Therefore, for comparison purposes, the Company provides “Adjusted net income (loss),” which is our pre-tax income (loss) together with an adjusted income tax provision (benefit), which is calculated as the provision for income taxes plus the tax effects of net income attributable to non-controlling interest determined using a blended statutory effective tax rate. “Adjusted net income (loss)” is a non-GAAP metric. "Adjusted diluted EPS" is defined as "Adjusted net income (loss)" divided by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding for the applicable period, assuming the exchange and conversion of all outstanding Class D common stock for Class A common stock, and is calculated and presented for periods in which the assumed exchange and conversion of Class D common stock to Class A common stock is anti-dilutive to EPS.

We also disclose Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as earnings before interest expense on non-funding debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation inputs or assumptions, gains or losses on other interest rate derivatives, the impact of non-cash deferred compensation expense, the change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants, the non-cash income/expense impact of the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, and the change in fair value of retained investment securities. We exclude the non-cash income/expense impact of the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, the change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants, the change in fair value of retained investment securities, and the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation inputs or assumptions as these represent non-cash, non-realized adjustments to our earnings, which is not indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of interest expense, as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

In addition, we disclose “Non-funding debt” and the “Non-funding debt to equity ratio” as a non-GAAP metric. We define “Non-funding debt” as the total of the Company's senior notes, lines of credit, borrowings against investment securities, and finance leases and the “Non-funding debt-to-equity ratio” as total non-funding debt divided by the Company’s total equity.

Management believes that these non-GAAP metrics provide useful information to investors. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

The following tables set forth the reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):
