Graham A. Fleming, President and Interim Chief Executive Officer commented, “Thank you to all our team members for their hard work and dedication over the past 12 months. 2022 was a transformative year for FOA. We made decisions to account for uncertainty in the residential mortgage market, while continuing to invest in areas where we see solid, sustainable growth. By divesting our non-core operations and adding to our reverse lending business, we are well-positioned for future growth and will continue to invest and expand on our strategy to help Americans achieve their retirement goals.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Summary

Balance Sheet Highlights

• Cash and cash equivalents ended the fourth quarter at $97 million. The $72 million decrease in cash was almost entirely attributable to operational losses associated with the Mortgage Originations segment.
• Securitized loans held for investment (HMBS & nonrecourse) increased by $911 million as a result of the completion of two securitizations of non-agency reverse mortgages during the quarter.
• Total assets declined 1% from prior quarter due to reduced loans held for sale related to the wind down of the Mortgage Originations segment.
• Total liabilities declined $147 million on a sequential quarter basis primarily due to reduced warehouse lines of credit related to the wind down of the Mortgage Originations segment.
• Total tangible equity decreased $107 million to $30 million, predominantly due to operational losses associated with the Mortgage Originations, Commercial Originations, and Lender Services segments.

Segment Results

Reverse Originations

The Reverse Originations segment generates revenue and earnings in the form of net origination gains and origination fees earned on the origination of reverse mortgage loans.

• In 2022, Reverse Originations funded $4,834 million; an increase of 13% over 2021, which was driven by strong refinance volume in the first half of 2022 and an increase in new-to-reverse volumes.
• 2022 revenue declined 26% from 2021 to $289 million due primarily to the impact of widening credit spreads experienced during the year, partially offset by higher volumes.
• 2022 pre-tax income excluding impairment of goodwill, intangibles, and other assets of $132 million declined $111 million in line with the decline in revenue.

Portfolio Management

The Portfolio Management segment generates revenue and earnings in the form of gain on sale of loans, fair value gains or losses, interest income, servicing income, fees for underwriting, advisory and valuation services and other ancillary fees.

• 2022 assets under management grew 6% to $20,186 million compared to 2021. This growth is directly attributable to the eight securitizations completed during the year.
• 2022 revenue was materially impacted by negative fair value adjustments on assets held for investment and related liabilities as we updated model assumptions to account for higher credit spreads and increased interest rates experienced during the year. The residual value of assets subject to nonrecourse debt within the securitization trusts as of December 31, 2022 was $110 million, down from $390 million as of December 31, 2021.

Lender Services

The Lender Services business generates revenue and earnings in the form of lender service support fees.

• On February 1, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Title Insurance Businesses. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023. For additional detail, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 2, 2023.

Commercial Originations

During the period, the Commercial Originations segment provided business purpose lending solutions for residential real estate investors. The Commercial Originations segment generated revenue and earnings in the form of net origination gains and origination fees earned on the origination of mortgage loans.

• On February 19, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain operational assets of our Commercial Originations segment. The transaction is expected to close mid-March. For additional detail, please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2023.

Mortgage Originations

During the period, the Mortgage Originations segment generated revenue through fee income from loan originations and gain on sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market.

• On October 20, 2022, the Company announced its decision to wind down the operations of the Mortgage Originations segment, other than the Home Improvement channel. This commenced in the fourth quarter and was completed on February 28, 2023. Please refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2023 for additional information.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. A number of important factors exist that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the transformation of our business the transformation of our business from a vertically-integrated, diversified lending platform to a focused, reverse mortgage lending business; 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 and pay down our substantial debt; our proposed acquisition of American Advisors Group, as well as the proposed sale of our Incenter subsidiaries and their respective expected benefits and increased liquidity, anticipated cost savings, financial and accounting impact, and timing; our ability to successfully and timely integrate the business of American Advisors Group into the legacy business of the Company; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors in our business markets worldwide financial markets, including a sustained period of higher interest rates; our ability to respond to significant changes in prevailing interest rates, and to develop a profitable business; 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 servicing operations; our ability to manage changes in our licensing status, business relationships, or servicing guidelines with Ginnie Mae, HUD or other governmental entities; our geographic market concentration if the economic conditions in our current markets should decline or as a result of natural disasters; our use of estimates in measuring or determining the fair value of the majority of our assets and liabilities, which may require us to write down the value of these assets or write up the value of these liabilities if they prove to be incorrect; our ability to manage various legal proceedings and compliance matters, federal or state governmental examinations and enforcement investigations we are subject to from time to time, including consumer protection laws applicable to reverse mortgage lenders, which may be highly complex and slow to develop, and results are difficult to predict or estimate; our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; our ability to compete with national banks, which are not subject to state licensing and operational requirements; our holding company status and dependency on distributions from Finance of America Equity Capital LLC; our “controlled company” status under New York Stock Exchange rules, which exempts us from certain corporate governance requirements and affords stockholders fewer protections; our substantial number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of Finance of America Equity Capital LLC Units, which may dilute your investment, and the sale of which could cause significant downward pricing pressure on our stock; and 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s management evaluates performance of the Company through the use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share.

We define Adjusted Net Income as net income adjusted for change in fair value of loans and securities held for investment due to assumption changes, change in fair value of deferred purchase price obligations (including earnouts and TRA obligations), warrant liability, and minority investments, amortization and other impairments, equity based compensation, and certain non-recurring costs.

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

We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (defined above) divided by our weighted average diluted share count, which includes our issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock shares plus Finance of America Equity Capital LLC’s Class A LLC units owned by our noncontrolling 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. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Management believes these key financial measures provide an additional view of our performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternate to (i) net income (loss) or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flows determine in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings 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 GAAP. Some of the limitations of these metrics are: (i) cash expenditures for future contractual commitments; (ii) cash requirements for working capital needs; (iii) cash requirements for certain tax payments; and (iv) all non-cash income/expense items.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings 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 stockholders. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using our non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. Users of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our non-GAAP financial measures.
