Origination Segment Results

Origination segment net loss was $2.9 million in first quarter 2025 compared to net income of $0.8 million in fourth quarter 2024 and net loss of $24.2 million in first quarter 2024. The year over year improvement reflects Guild’s growth over the past year, while the sequential decline is primarily driven by lower origination volumes, primarily due to seasonality. Gain on sale margins on originations increased 59 bps quarter-over-quarter and 12 bps year-over-year to 376 bps. Gain on sale margins on pull-through adjusted locked volume decreased 44 bps quarter-over-quarter and 26 bps year-over-year to 316 bps and total pull-through adjusted locked volume was $5.9 billion compared to $5.7 billion in fourth quarter 2024 and $4.6 billion in first quarter 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our GAAP financial results, we disclose certain financial measures for our consolidated and operating segment results on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted net income. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure. We define adjusted net income as earnings or loss attributable to Guild excluding (i) the change in the fair value measurements related to our MSRs due to changes in model inputs and assumptions, (ii) change in the fair value of contingent liabilities related to completed acquisitions, net of change in the fair value of notes receivable related to acquisitions, (iii) amortization of acquired intangible assets and (iv) stock-based compensation. We exclude these items because we believe they are non-cash expenses that are not reflective of our core operations or indicative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted net income is also adjusted by applying an estimated effective tax rate to these adjustments. We exclude the change in the fair value of MSRs, a non-cash, non-realized adjustment to net revenues, from adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA below because it is not indicative of our operating performance or results of operations. The change in fair value of MSRs is due to changes in model inputs and assumptions such as prepayment speed, discount rate, cost to service assumptions and other factors that impact the carrying value of our MSRs from period to period.

Adjusted earnings per share—Basic and Diluted. Earnings per share is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for adjusted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure. We define adjusted earnings per share as our adjusted net income divided by the basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding of our Class A and Class B common stock. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding is adjusted to include potential shares of Class A common stock related to unvested RSUs that were excluded from the calculation of GAAP diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive due to the net loss, when applicable.

Adjusted EBITDA. Net income (loss) is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure. We define adjusted EBITDA as earnings before (i) interest expense on non-funding debt (without adjustment for net warehouse interest related to loan fundings and payoff interest related to loan prepayments), (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) net income attributable to the non-controlling interests and excluding (v) any change in the fair value measurements of our MSRs due to valuation assumptions, (vi) change in the fair value of contingent liabilities related to completed acquisitions, net of change in the fair value of notes receivable related to acquisitions and (vii) stock-based compensation. We exclude these items because we believe they are not reflective of our core operations or indicative of our ongoing operations.

Adjusted return on average equity. Return on average equity is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for adjusted return on average equity, a non-GAAP measure. We define adjusted return on average equity as annualized adjusted net income as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders’ equity during the period.

Tangible net book value per share. Book value per share is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for tangible net book value per share, a non-GAAP measure. We define tangible net book value per share as total stockholders’ equity attributable to Guild, less goodwill and intangible assets, net divided by the total shares of our Class A and Class B common stock outstanding.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures (other than tangible net book value per share) to evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to evaluate operating results exclusive of fair value and other adjustments that are not indicative of our business’s operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects. In addition, management uses the non-GAAP financial measure of tangible net book value per share to evaluate the adequacy of our stockholders’ equity and assess our capital position to make capital allocation decisions. We believe tangible net book value provides useful information to investors in assessing the strength of our financial position.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the “GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations” included at the end of this release.

(1)

Total originations includes retail forward and reverse, brokered, wholesale and correspondent loans.

(2)

Total origination units excludes second lien mortgages originated at the same time as the first mortgage or shortly thereafter.

(3)

Represents the UPB of forward loans sold and reverse loans securitized.

(4)

Represents loan origination fees and gain on sale of loans, net plus gain on reverse mortgage loans held for investment and HMBS-related borrowings, net divided by total originations, excluding brokered and wholesale loans, to derive basis points.

(5)

Pull-through adjusted locked volume is equal to total locked volume, which excludes reverse loans, multiplied by pull-through rates of 89.8%, 88.7% and 88.0% as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. We estimate the pull-through rate based on changes in pricing and actual borrower behavior using a historical analysis of loan closing data and “fallout” data with respect to the number of commitments that have historically remained unexercised.

(6)

Represents loan origination fees and gain on sale of loans, net divided by pull-through adjusted locked volume.

(7)

Purchase recapture rate is calculated as the ratio of (i) UPB of our clients that originated a new mortgage with us for the purchase of a home in a given period, to (ii) total UPB of our clients that paid off their existing mortgage as a result of selling their home in a given period. Refinance recapture rate is calculated as the ratio of (i) UPB of our clients that originated a new mortgage loan for the purpose of refinancing an existing mortgage with us in a given period, to (ii) total UPB of our clients that paid off their existing mortgage as a result of refinancing their home in the same period. These calculations exclude clients to whom we did not actively market due to contractual prohibitions or other business reasons.

(8)

Excludes subserviced forward and reverse mortgage loans, which had UPB of $1.9 billion, $1.9 billion and $320.7 million as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, and includes loans held for sale and pending service release loans of $1.5 billion, $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.

(9)

Includes loans held for sale and pending service release loans, which had period end number of loans serviced of approximately 6 thousand, 5 thousand and 4 thousand as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.
