Third Quarter 2022 Highlights

• Quarterly funded origination volume was $4.1 billion, compared to $20.8 billion in the third quarter of 2021, and $9.3 billion in the second quarter of 2022.
• Total revenue, net of $8.3 million, compared to $274.7 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $70.0 million in the second quarter of 2022.

• Total expenses of $115.7 million included $13.4 million restructuring and $10.8 million goodwill impairment charges. Excluding those charges, total expense improved 47.8% versus the third quarter of 2021 and 23.4% from the second quarter of 2022 due to the Company’s cost management initiatives.
• Net loss of $94.3 million (or $(0.68) per basic and diluted share), compared to net income of $71.5 million (or $0.51 per basic and diluted share) in the third quarter of 2021, and net loss of $44.4 million (or $(0.32) per basic and diluted share) in the second quarter of 2022.

The MSR multiple for the third quarter of 2022 of 5.8x increased from 4.2x in the third quarter of 2021 and was comparable with 5.8x in the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by slower prepayment speeds due to higher mortgage interest rates.
• Company’s available liquidity of $569.1 million as of September 30, 2022.

Origination Segment

Home Point Capital’s Origination segment originates and sells residential real estate mortgage loans. These loans are sourced through two channels. The primary channel is Wholesale, where the Company works with mortgage brokerages to source new customers. The Direct channel retains serviced customers in the Home Point Capital ecosystem.

The Origination segment recorded a contribution loss of $44.4 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to contribution margin of $67.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 and contribution loss of $29.9 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Servicing Segment

Home Point Capital’s Servicing segment generates revenue through contractual fees earned by performing daily administrative and management activities for mortgage loans that were primarily sourced by the Company’s Originations segment. These loans are serviced on behalf of investors/guarantors, primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. In February 2022, Homepoint announced an agreement with ServiceMac, LLC (“ServiceMac”) pursuant to which ServiceMac will subservice all mortgage loans underlying MSRs held by Homepoint. Substantially all of Homepoint’s servicing staff has transitioned to ServiceMac providing customers with continuity and the same high-quality service. ServiceMac began subservicing newly originated agency loans for Homepoint in the second quarter of 2022. The transition of the balance of the agency portfolio and all of the Ginnie Mae portfolio to ServiceMac was completed in the third quarter of 2022. ServiceMac performs servicing functions on Homepoint’s behalf, but Homepoint continues to hold the MSRs.

The Servicing segment generated a contribution margin of $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $86.2 million in the third quarter of 2021 and $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity Highlights

Home Point Capital had available liquidity of $569.1 million as of September 30, 2022, comprising $130.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $438.7 million of undrawn capacity from its mortgage servicing rights line of credit and other credit facilities. The Company had total warehouse capacity of $3.2 billion, and unused capacity of $2.3 billion as of September 30, 2022, compared to total capacity of $6.0 billion, and unused capacity of $4.1 billion as of June 30, 2022. In light of the recent decline in the Origination volumes, the Company continues to strategically rightsize its warehouse lines of credit in order to minimize associated costs and more efficiently operate in the environment of rising interest rates and increased competition.

Dividend and Stock Repurchase Program

Home Point Capital’s board of directors has determined not to declare a dividend for the third quarter. The board’s determination reflects the Company’s desire to maintain a strong liquidity position to support operations in the current macroeconomic environment, including rising interest rates and inflationary pressure, and the potential impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

During the quarter, the Company did not repurchase any shares. The Company has $4.3 million of availability remaining under its $8.0 million stock repurchase program.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations

RECONCILIATION OF TOTAL REVENUE, NET TO ADJUSTED REVENUE

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we disclose Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income (Loss), and Adjusted net margin as “non-GAAP measures,” which management believes 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 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.

We define Adjusted revenue as Total net revenue exclusive of the impact of the change in fair value of MSRs related to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, net of MSRs hedge and adjusted for Income from equity method investment.

We define Adjusted net income as Net income (Loss) exclusive of the impact of the change in fair value of MSRs related to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, net of MSRs hedge.

We exclude changes in fair value of MSRs, net of hedge from each of Adjusted revenue and Adjusted net income (loss) as they add volatility and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. This adjustment does not include changes in fair value of MSRs due to realization of cash flows, which remain in each of Adjusted revenue and Adjusted net income (Loss). Realization of cash flows occurs when cash is collected as customers make scheduled payments, partial prepayments of principal, or pay their mortgage in full.

We define Adjusted net margin by dividing Adjusted net income (Loss) by Adjusted revenue.

We believe that Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income (Loss), and Adjusted net margin can provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for 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.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income, and Adjusted net margin provides 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. Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income (Loss), and Adjusted net margin provide indicators of performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on these measures for planning and forecasting of future periods. The Company measures the performance of the segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Additionally, these measures allow management to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. However, other companies may define Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income (Loss), and Adjusted net margin differently, and as a result, our measures of Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net Income (Loss), and Adjusted net margin may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.
