CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Guild Holdings Company, a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) as “Guild,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company.” This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from the results, events or circumstances expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

•A disruption in the secondary home loan market or our ability to sell the loans that we originate could have a detrimental effect on our business.

•Macroeconomic and U.S. residential real estate market conditions have and may continue to materially and adversely affect our revenue and results of operations.

•Because we are highly dependent on certain U.S. government-sponsored entities and government agencies, we may be adversely impacted by any organizational or pricing changes or changes in our relationship with these entities and agencies.

•Changes in prevailing interest rates or U.S. monetary policies have had and may continue to have a detrimental effect on our business.

•Our servicing rights are subject to termination with or without cause.

•If a significant number of our warehouse lines of credit, on which we are highly dependent, are terminated or reduced, we may be unable to find replacement financing on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on us.

•Our existing and any future indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to operate our business, our financial condition or the results of our operations.

•If we do not maintain and improve the technology infrastructure that supports our origination and servicing platform or if we suffer any significant disruption in service on our platform, our ability to serve our clients may be materially and adversely impacted.

•Acquisitions and investments have in the past, and may in the future, cause our financial results to differ from our expectations or the expectations of the investment community and we may not be able to achieve anticipated benefits from such acquisitions and investments.

•Pressure from existing and new competitors may adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

•Our failure to maintain or grow our historical referral relationships with our referral partners may materially and adversely affect us.

•We are required to make servicing advances that can be subject to delays in recovery or may not be recoverable in certain circumstances.

•A substantial portion of our assets are measured at fair value. From time to time our estimates of their value prove to be inaccurate and we are required to write them down.

•The success and growth of our business will depend upon our ability to adapt to and implement technological changes and to develop and market attractive products and services.

•Adverse events to our clients could occur, which can result in substantial losses that could adversely affect our financial condition.

•The geographic concentration of our loan originations may adversely affect our lending business, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

•Our business could be materially and adversely affected by a cybersecurity breach or other vulnerability involving our computer systems or those of certain third-party service providers.

•Operating and growing our business may require additional capital, and if capital is not available to us, our business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects may suffer.

Table of Contents

•We are subject to certain operational risks, including, but not limited to, employee or customer fraud, the obligation to repurchase sold loans in the event of a documentation error, and data processing system failures and errors.

•We are periodically required to repurchase mortgage loans that we have sold or indemnify purchasers of our mortgage loans.

•Seasonality may cause fluctuations in our financial results.

•If we fail to protect our brand and reputation, our ability to grow our business and increase the volume of mortgages we originate and service may be adversely affected.

•We are subject to certain risks associated with investing in real estate and real estate related assets, including risks of loss from adverse weather conditions, man-made or natural disasters, pandemics, terrorist attacks and the effects of climate change.

•If we are unable to attract, integrate and retain qualified personnel, our ability to develop and successfully grow our business could be harmed.

•Our risk management strategies may not be fully effective in mitigating our risk exposures in all market environments or against all types of risk.

•Changes in, or our failure to comply with, the highly complex legal and regulatory framework applicable to our mortgage loan origination and servicing activities could harm our business, operating results, financial condition, and prospects.

•Our failure to comply with fair lending laws and regulations could lead to a wide variety of negative consequences.

•Our failure to obtain and maintain the appropriate state licenses would prohibit us from originating or servicing mortgages in those states and adversely affect our operations.

•Changes in the guidelines of the GSEs, FHA, VA, USDA, and Ginnie Mae could adversely affect our business.

•Material changes to the laws, regulations or practices applicable to reverse mortgage programs operated by FHA and HUD could adversely affect our reverse mortgage business.

•Our actual or perceived failure to comply with stringent and evolving legal obligations related to data privacy and security may materially and adversely affect us.

•We may from time to time be subject to litigation, which may be extremely costly to defend, could result in substantial judgment or settlement costs and could subject us to other remedies.

•We are controlled by McCarthy Capital Mortgage Investors, LLC (“MCMI”), and MCMI’s interests may conflict with our interests and the interests of our other stockholders.

•As a “controlled company,” we rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to stockholders of other companies.

•Our directors and executive officers have significant control over our business.

•We are a holding company and depend upon distributions from GMC to meet our obligations.

•Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock by our existing stockholders in the public market, or the perception in the public markets that these sales may occur, could cause the price of our Class A common stock to fall.

•Our issuance of capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, our equity incentive plans or otherwise would dilute all other stockholders.

•There is no assurance that we will pay dividends in the future.

•Certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and of Delaware law may prevent or delay an acquisition of Guild, which could decrease the trading price of our stock.

•The dual class structure of our common stock may adversely affect the trading market for our Class A common stock.

•Our quarterly and annual operating results or other operating metrics may fluctuate significantly and may not meet expectations of research analysts, which could cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to decline.

•If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately on a timely basis, which would result in the loss of investor confidence, delisting, claims or investigations, and cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline.

Table of Contents

•Significant changes to the size, structure, powers, and operations of the federal government and uncertainties regarding the potential for future changes, could cause disruptions to the regulatory environment in which we operate and could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

•Changes in economic conditions, including as a result of macroeconomic policy changes by the U.S. government, may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

GUILD HOLDINGS COMPANY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Guild Holdings Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Guild” or the “Company”) originates, sells, and services residential mortgage loans in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable segments, origination and servicing. The Company operates approximately 430 branches with licenses in 49 states and the District of Columbia. The Company originates residential mortgages through retail and other channels.

The Company is certified with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and operates as a Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) non-supervised lender. In addition, the Company is an approved issuer with the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), as well as an approved seller and servicer with the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”) and the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (“USDA”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or consolidates as a variable interest entity or joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company follows the same accounting policies for preparing quarterly and annual reports.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although management is not currently aware of any factors that would significantly change its estimates and assumptions, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Escrow and Fiduciary Funds

As a loan servicer, the Company maintains segregated bank accounts in trust for investors and escrow balances for mortgagors, which are excluded from the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These accounts totaled $976.8 million and $788.6 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosures about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. For public business entities the update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the new guidance on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

NOTE 2—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized within a three-level fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The categorization of assets and liabilities measured at fair value within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

•Level One — Level One inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

•Level Two — Level Two inputs are observable for that asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, observable inputs for the asset or liability other than quoted prices and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified contractual term, the inputs must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•Level Three — Level Three inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and are developed based on the best information available.

The Company updates the valuation of each instrument recorded at fair value on a monthly or quarterly basis, evaluating all available observable information, which may include current market prices or bids, recent trade activity, changes in the levels of market activity and benchmarking of industry data. The assessment also includes consideration of identifying the valuation approach that would be used currently by market participants. If it is determined that a change in valuation technique or its application is appropriate, or if there are other changes in availability of observable data or market activity, the current methodology will be analyzed to determine if a transfer between levels of the valuation hierarchy is appropriate. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers into or out of a level as of the beginning of the quarter that the change occurs.

Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted prices are not available, fair value is estimated based upon other observable inputs. Unobservable inputs are used when observable inputs are not available and are based upon judgments and assumptions, which are the Company’s assessment of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs may include assumptions about risk, counterparty credit quality, the Company’s creditworthiness and liquidity and are developed based on the best information available. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement of the asset or liability. The fair value of assets and liabilities classified within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy also typically includes observable factors and the realized or unrealized gain or loss recorded from the valuation of these instruments would also include amounts determined by observable factors.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s fair value measurements are evaluated within the fair value hierarchy, based on the nature of the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had the following assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale (“MLHS”) — MLHS are carried at fair value. The fair value of MLHS is based on secondary market pricing for loans with similar characteristics, and as such, is classified as a Level Two measurement. Fair value is estimated through a market approach by using either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value attributable to servicing rights and credit risk, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. The agency mortgage-backed security market is a highly liquid and active secondary market for conforming conventional loans whereby quoted prices exist for securities at the pass-through level and are published on a regular basis. The Company has the ability to access this market and it is the market into which conforming mortgage loans are typically sold. Management regularly reviews critical estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of MLHS. See “Note 6—Mortgage Loans Held for Sale” for additional information on the Company's MLHS.

Reverse Mortgage Loans Held for Investment — Reverse mortgage loans held for investment are carried at fair value and classified within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy. Fair value is estimated

Table of Contents

using a present value methodology that discounts estimated projected cash flows over the life of the loan using unobservable inputs which include conditional prepayment rates and discount rates. The conditional prepayment rate assumption is inclusive of voluntary (repayment or payoff) and involuntary (inactive/delinquent status and default) prepayments. The discount rate assumption used is primarily based on an assessment of current market yields on reverse mortgage loan and tail securitizations, expected duration of the asset and current market interest rates. The Company engages a third-party valuation expert to assist in estimating the fair value. See “Note 7—Reverse Mortgage Loans Held for Investment and HMBS-related Borrowings” for additional information on the Company's reverse mortgage loans held for investment.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”) — MSRs are classified within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs and the lack of an active market for such assets. To determine the fair value of the servicing right when created, the Company uses a valuation model that calculates the present value of future cash flows. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of contractual service fees, ancillary income and late fees, the cost of servicing, the discount rate, float value, the inflation rate, estimated prepayment speeds, and default rates. The Company obtains valuations from an independent third party on a monthly basis, and records an adjustment based on this third-party valuation. See “Note 5—Mortgage Servicing Rights” for additional information on the Company's MSRs.

Derivative Instruments — Derivative instruments are classified within Level Two and Level Three of the valuation hierarchy, and include the following:

Interest Rate Lock Commitments (“IRLCs”) — IRLCs are classified within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy. IRLCs represent an agreement to extend credit to a mortgage loan applicant, or an agreement to purchase a loan from a third-party originator, whereby the interest rate on the loan is set (or “locked”) prior to funding. The fair value of IRLCs recorded at lock inception is based upon the estimated fair value of the underlying mortgage loan, including the expected net future cash flows related to servicing the mortgage loan, net of estimated incentive compensation expenses, and adjusted for: (i) estimated costs to complete and originate the loan and (ii) an adjustment to reflect the estimated percentage of IRLCs that will result in a closed mortgage loan under the original terms of the agreement (pull-through rate). The pull-through rate is considered a significant unobservable input and is estimated based on changes in pricing and actual borrower behavior using a historical analysis of loan closing and fallout data. On a quarterly basis, actual loan pull-through rates are compared to the modeled estimates to confirm the assumptions are reflective of current trends. Generally, a change in interest rates is accompanied by a directionally opposite change in the assumption used for the pull-through percentage, and the impact to fair value of a change in pull-through would be partially offset by the related change in price.

Forward Delivery Commitments — Forward delivery commitments are classified within Level Two of the valuation hierarchy. Forward delivery commitments fix the forward sales price that will be realized upon the sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. The fair value of forward delivery commitments is primarily based upon the current agency mortgage-backed security market to-be-announced pricing specific to the loan program, delivery coupon and delivery date of the trade. Best efforts sales commitments are also entered into for certain loans at the time the borrower commitment is made. These best-efforts sales commitments are valued using the committed price to the counterparty against the current market price of the IRLC or mortgage loan held for sale.

Option contracts are a type of forward commitment that represents the rights to buy or sell mortgage-backed securities at specified prices in the future. Their value is based upon the underlying current to-be-announced pricing of the agency mortgage-backed security market, and market-based volatility.

The Company regularly reviews its critical estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of IRLCs and forward delivery commitments. See “Note 4—Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional information on derivative instruments.

Notes Receivable — Notes receivable related to acquisitions are classified within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy as the Company's valuation includes significant unobservable inputs, including consideration of estimates of future earn-out payments, discount rates and expectations about settlement.

HMBS-Related Borrowings — HMBS-related borrowings are carried at fair value and classified within Level Three of the valuation hierarchy. These borrowings are not actively traded; therefore, quoted market prices are not available. The Company determines fair value using a discounted cash flow model, by discounting the projected payment of principal and interest over the estimated life of the borrowing at a market rate, due to significant unobservable inputs, including conditional prepayment rates and discount rates. The discount rate assumption used is primarily based on an assessment of current market yields for newly issued HMBS, expected duration and current market interest rates. The

Contingent Liabilities Due to Acquisitions — Contingent liabilities represent future obligations of the Company to make payments to the former owners of its acquired companies. The Company determines the fair value of its contingent liabilities using an income approach whereby the Company forecasts the cash outflows related to the future payments, which are based on a percentage of net income specified in the purchase agreements. The Company then discounts these expected payment amounts to calculate the present value, or fair value, as of the valuation date. The Company’s management evaluates the underlying projections used in determining fair value each period and makes updates to these underlying projections.

The Company uses a risk-adjusted discount rate to value the contingent liabilities which is considered a significant unobservable input, and as such, the liabilities are classified as a Level Three measurement. Management’s underlying projections adjust for market penetration and other economic expectations, and the discount rate is risk-adjusted for key factors such as uncertainty in the mortgage banking industry due to its reliance on external influences (interest rates, regulatory changes, etc.), upfront payments, and credit risk. An increase in the discount rate will result in a decrease in the fair value of the contingent liabilities. Conversely, a decrease in the discount rate will result in an increase in the fair value of the contingent liabilities. At both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the range of the risk adjusted discount rate was 23.2% - 25.0%, with a weighted average of 24.0%. Adjustments to the fair value of the contingent liabilities (other than payments) are recorded as a gain or loss and are included within general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Changes in the availability of observable inputs may result in reclassifications of certain assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in or out of Level Three as of the beginning of the period that the change occurs. There were no transfers between fair value levels for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities that are not typically measured at fair value on a recurring basis may be subject to fair value measurement requirements under certain circumstances. These adjustments to fair value usually result from write-downs of individual assets. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had the following financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Table of Contents

Ginnie Mae Loans Subject to Repurchase Right — GNMA securitization programs allow servicers to buy back individual delinquent mortgage loans from the securitized loan pool once certain conditions are met. If a borrower makes no payment for three consecutive months, the servicer has the option to repurchase the delinquent loan for an amount equal to 100% of the loan’s remaining unpaid principal balance (“UPB”). Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 860, Transfers and Servicing, this buy-back option is considered a conditional option until the delinquency criteria are met, at which time the option becomes unconditional. The Company records these assets and liabilities at their fair value, which is determined to be the remaining UPB. The Company’s future expected realizable cash flows are the cash payments of the remaining UPB whether paid by the borrower or reimbursed through a claim filed with HUD. The Company classifies the fair value of these assets and liabilities as a Level Two measurement in the valuation hierarchy due to the assets and liabilities having specified contractual terms and the inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the assets' and liabilities' lives.

Fair Value Option

The Company has elected to measure its MLHS, reverse mortgage loans held for investment, notes receivable and HMBS-related borrowings at fair value. The following is the estimated fair value and UPB of assets and liabilities that have contractual principal amounts and for which the Company has elected the fair value option. The fair value option was elected as the Company believes fair value best reflects their expected future economic performance and to align with the Company’s business and risk management strategies.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the MSRs had a weighted average life of approximately 7.9 years and 8.2 years, respectively. See “Note 2—Fair Value Measurements” for additional information regarding the valuation of MSRs.

Actual revenue generated from servicing activities included contractually specified servicing fees, as well as late fees and other ancillary servicing revenue, including interest paid to clients on escrow account balances, which were recorded within loan servicing and other fees as follows:

Total loan servicing and other fees		$	72,751	$	65,788

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the UPB of mortgage loans serviced for others totaled $94.0 billion and $92.9 billion, respectively, including loans subserviced by third-parties of $1.5 billion at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company are sold to FNMA or FHLMC programs on a nonrecourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses are generally the responsibility of FNMA and FHLMC and not the Company. Similarly, certain loans serviced by the Company are secured through GNMA programs, whereby the Company is insured against loss by the FHA or partially guaranteed against loss by the VA.

The key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of MSRs are prepayment speeds, the discount rate and costs to service. Increases in prepayment speeds generally have an adverse effect on the value of MSRs as the underlying loans prepay faster. In a declining interest rate environment, the fair value of MSRs generally decreases as prepayments increase and therefore, the estimated life of the MSRs and related cash flows decrease. Decreases in prepayment speeds generally have a positive effect on the value of MSRs as the underlying loans prepay less frequently. In a rising interest rate environment, the fair value of MSRs generally increases as prepayments decrease and therefore, the estimated life of the MSRs and related cash flows increase. Increases in the discount rate generally have an adverse effect on the value of the MSRs. The discount rate is risk adjusted for key factors such as uncertainty in the mortgage banking industry due to its reliance on external influences (interest rates, regulatory changes, etc.), premium for market liquidity, and credit risk. A higher discount rate would indicate higher uncertainty of the future cash flows. Conversely, decreases in the discount rate generally have a positive effect on the value of the MSRs. Increases in the costs to service generally have an adverse effect on the value of the MSRs as an increase in costs to service would reduce the

Company’s future net cash inflows from servicing a loan. Conversely, decreases in the costs to service generally have a positive effect on the value of the MSRs. MSR uncertainties are hypothetical and do not always have a direct correlation with each assumption. Changes in one assumption may result in changes to another assumption, which might magnify or counteract the uncertainties.

The following table illustrates the impact of adverse changes on the prepayment speeds, discount rate and cost to service at two different data points at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively:

Common Stock Dividends

The Company declared and paid $31.0 million in dividends during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and paid $30.7 million in dividends during the year ended December 31, 2024.

In conjunction with the payment of Guild's dividends, Guild issued 34,907 dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”) to holders of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and issued 59,330 DEUs during the year ended December 31, 2024. Since the DEUs are forfeitable, the value of the DEUs was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings and an increase to additional paid-in capital.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 5, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $20.0 million of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock over the following 24 months from such date. On March 7, 2024, our Board of Directors extended the share repurchase program to May 5, 2025 and on March 5, 2025, the share repurchase program was extended to May 5, 2026. The share repurchase program allows the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the share repurchase program and the timing of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, market conditions, and other general business considerations. The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. The Company intends to fund any repurchases under the share repurchase program with cash on hand. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 35,216 shares of its Class A common stock for $0.5 million at an average price of $12.94 per share, excluding commissions. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 17,747 shares of its Class A common stock for $0.3 million at an average price of $14.16 per share, excluding commissions. As of March 31, 2025, $9.5 million remains available for repurchase.

NOTE 12—EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings or loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares include RSUs for Class A common stock.

The following table sets forth the components of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:

Compensation costs recognized for these restricted stock grants were approximately $1.6 million and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included in salaries, incentive compensation and benefits. As of March 31, 2025, there was approximately $6.8 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to these unvested RSUs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Reserves for Loan Repurchases from Investors

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has exposure to liabilities with respect to certain representations and warranties that we make to the investors who purchase loans that we originate. The liability for investor reserves is included within other liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The activity of the investor reserves was as follows for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)		2025		2024
Balance — beginning of period		$	23,362	$	19,973

Realized losses, net		(6,508)		(2,215)
Balance — end of period		$	21,949	$	18,278

Commitments

The Company enters into IRLCs with customers who have applied for residential forward mortgage loans and meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose the Company to market risk if interest rates change and the loan is not economically hedged or committed to an investor. The Company is also exposed to credit loss if the loan is originated and not sold to an investor and the customer does not perform. The collateral upon extension of credit typically consists of a first deed of trust in the mortgagor’s residential property. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Total commitments to originate forward mortgage loans at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were approximately $1.9 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. The Company finances origination of reverse mortgage loans with warehouse lines of credit.

The Company manages the interest rate price risk associated with its outstanding IRLCs and loans held for sale by entering into derivative loan instruments such as forward loan sales commitments, mandatory delivery commitments, options and futures contracts. Total commitments related to these derivatives at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were approximately $2.6 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively.

The Company has originated reverse mortgage loans under which the borrowers have additional borrowing capacity of $140.3 million and $131.4 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. This additional borrowing capacity is available on a scheduled or unscheduled payment basis. The Company also had short-term commitments to lend $1.5 million and $1.6 million in connection with reverse mortgage loans, outstanding at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company finances origination of reverse mortgage loans with warehouse lines of credit.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate results of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

NOTE 15—REGULATORY CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS

Certain secondary market investors and state regulators require the Company to maintain minimum net worth and capital requirements. To the extent that these requirements are not met, secondary market investors and/or the state regulators may utilize a range of remedies including sanctions, and/or suspension or

Table of Contents

termination of selling and servicing agreements, which may prohibit the Company from originating, securitizing or servicing these specific types of mortgage loans.

The Company is subject to certain minimum net worth, minimum capital ratio and minimum liquidity requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Seller/Servicers, and Ginnie Mae for single family issuers.

The most restrictive of the minimum net worth and capital requirements require the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth balance of $282.8 million and $277.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with this requirement.

NOTE 16—SEGMENTS

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in that guidance, the Company has determined that it has two reportable segments — Origination and Servicing, based on the Company’s business lines that offer different products and services, as described below.

Origination — The Company operates its loan origination business throughout the United States. Its licensed sales professionals and support staff cultivate deep relationships with referral partners and clients and provide a customized approach to the loan transaction whether it is a purchase or refinance. The origination segment is primarily responsible for loan origination, acquisition and sale activities.

Servicing — The Company services loans primarily out of its corporate office in San Diego, California. Properties of the loans serviced by the Company are disbursed throughout the United States and as of March 31, 2025 the Company serviced at least one loan in 49 different states and the District of Columbia. The servicing segment provides a steady stream of cash flow to support the origination segment, and more importantly, it allows for the Company to build long-standing client relationships that drive repeat and referral business back to the origination segment to recapture the client’s next mortgage transaction. The servicing segment is primarily responsible for the servicing activities of all loans in the Company’s servicing portfolio, which includes, but is not limited to, collection and remittance of loan payments, managing borrower’s impound accounts for taxes and insurance, loan payoffs, loss mitigation and foreclosure activities.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the executive management team consisting of the Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer. The CODM uses net income for both reportable segments as its primary measure in assessing segment performance and how to allocate resources. The Company does not allocate assets to its reportable segments as they are not included in the review performed by the CODM for purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources. The balance sheet is managed on a consolidated basis and is not used in the context of segment reporting. The Company also does not allocate certain corporate expenses, which are represented by All Other in the tables below.

Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted return on average equity and tangible net book value per share are not measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as an indicator of our operating performance. Please see “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further information regarding our non-GAAP measures and reconciliations to the nearest comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Market and Economic Overview

Over the past year, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) pivoted its stance with multiple rate cuts beginning in September 2024; its first moves since July 2023. Following the rate cuts in November and

Table of Contents

December the Federal Reserve’s current target range is 4.25% to 4.5%. As a result of these policy moves and ongoing inflation concerns, market expectations stayed elevated, keeping 10-year Treasury yields at relatively high levels over the past year. Although those expectations shifted throughout the year, which did allow for a period of refinances and subsequent higher prepayment activity in the 3rd quarter of 2024, the MBA now anticipates episodic windows of refinance opportunity as rate volatility remains elevated. Significant policy uncertainty, including those related to trade restrictions and tariffs, and heightened market volatility have tempered growth expectations for 2025, with the economy on the edge of a potential recession and ongoing concerns around elevated inflation.

According to the MBA's April 2025 Mortgage Finance Forecast the average 30-year mortgage interest rate is expected to average near 7.0% during 2025, with a modest decline to around 6.7% by year-end, while the 10-year Treasury yield is projected to remain close to 4.5%. Heightened interest-rate volatility has widened mortgage–Treasury spreads, but these may narrow if overall market uncertainty subsides. Given the inverse relationship between interest rates and mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), MSR values could decrease slightly this year if rates decline. Currently, we do not employ a financial hedge strategy on our MSR portfolio to offset short-term earnings volatility, however we believe the origination segment supports the complementary natural hedge that is provided by our retail production channel. We recorded a loss of $69.9 million, a gain of $84.3 million and a gain of $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, for changes in the fair value of our MSRs. See discussion below under “—Results of Operations—Revenue—Valuation Adjustment of Mortgage Servicing Rights”.

The MBA’s April 2025 Mortgage Finance Forecast anticipates the industry’s total origination volume will increase by 16.7% in 2025, to $2.1 trillion from $1.8 trillion in 2024. For the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, the MBA forecasted an increase of 1.9%, while our originations increased by 35.1%, outpacing the market. The MBA is forecasting mortgage originations for purchases to increase by 7.4% in 2025 to $1.4 trillion from $1.3 trillion in 2024 and are predicting refinance originations to increase by 41.1% in 2025 to $693 billion from $491 billion in 2024. Guild is well positioned to meet or exceed this growth through our historical acquisitions, organic recruiting and future potential partnerships. The MBA is forecasting total home sales to increase by a more modest pace in 2025 after remaining relatively flat for 2024 with prices stabilizing. While home-buying affordability challenges remain elevated and are expected to be challenging for 2025, there will be continued variability within local markets. Existing housing supply remains constrained as many homeowners with mortgage interest rates well below the current rates are choosing not to sell. Market and economic challenges have led to higher levels of competition and lower gain on sale margins and profitability. Margins may continue to be impacted placing sustained pressure on returns. However, future margins will depend on future market demand, capacity and other macroeconomic factors.

Key Performance Indicators

Management reviews several key performance indicators and metrics to evaluate our business results, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate projections and budgets, and inform our strategic business decisions. We use these key performance indicators to develop operational goals for managing our business.

Our operations consist of two distinct but related reportable segments that we refer to as our origination and servicing segments. Our origination metrics enable us to monitor our ability to generate revenue and expand our market share across different channels. They help us compare our performance against the nationwide originations market and our competitors. In addition, one of our business strategies is to seek to recapture mortgage transactions when our borrowers prepay their loans. Our recapture rates measure our ability to retain customers who refinance their loans or pay off early. Our servicing metrics enable us to monitor the size of our customer base, the characteristics and related value of our MSRs, the health of the business as measured by the average MSR delinquency rate and help drive our customer retention efforts. We believe that the net additions to our portfolio are a leading indicator to our growth in servicing income.

We believe that these key performance indicators provide useful information to investors and others by allowing for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. These metrics may be used by investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results and enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects. Our calculation of key performance indicators and metrics may be different than or otherwise not comparable to similarly named metrics used by other companies.

(1)Government includes forward and reverse loans.

(2)Other includes state housing, non-agency and brokered loans.

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

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

(5)Represents the UPB of forward loans sold and reverse loans securitized.

(6)Represents loans sold for which we continue to act as the servicer.

(7)Represents loan origination fees and gain on sale of loans, net plus gain on reverse mortgage loans held for investment and home equity conversion mortgage-backed securities (“HMBS”) related borrowings, net divided by total originations, excluding brokered and wholesale loans, to derive basis points.

(8)Total locked volume represents the aggregate dollar value of the potential loans for which we have agreed to extend credit to consumers at specified rates for a specified period of time, subject to certain contingencies that are described in the interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) between us and each of those consumers. The total locked volume for a given period is representative of the IRLCs that we have initially entered into during that period.

(9)Pull-through adjusted locked volume is equal to total locked volume 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.

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

(11)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 a refinance in the same period. Overall recapture rate for a given period is calculated as the ratio of (i) UPB of our clients from both purchase and refinance transactions in a given period, to (ii) the total UPB of our clients that paid off their existing mortgage and originated a new mortgage in a given period. These calculations exclude clients to whom we did not actively market due to contractual prohibitions or other business reasons.

(1)Excludes subserviced forward and reverse mortgage loans, which had ending 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.

(2)Includes loans held for sale and pending service release loans, which had ending UPB of $1.5 billion, $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

(3)Includes approximately 6 thousand, 5 thousand and 4 thousand of loans held for sale and pending service release loans as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

(4)Represents the percentage of UPB that is projected to pay off before maturity in each period, calculated as an annual rate. This estimate is calculated by our third-party valuation provider.

(5)Represents a metric used to determine the relative value of our MSRs in relation to our annualized retained servicing fee. It is calculated by dividing (a) the fair market value of our MSRs as of a specified date by (b) the weighted average annualized retained servicing fee for our servicing portfolio as of such date. We exclude purchased MSRs from this calculation because our servicing portfolio consists primarily of originated MSRs and, consequently, purchased MSRs do not have a material impact on our weighted average service fee.

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 have presented in this Quarterly Report adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted return on average equity and tangible net book value per share, each of which are non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

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

Table of Contents

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.

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.

Table of Contents

The decrease in the fair value of originated MSRs for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2024 was due to the decrease in retained sales and overall declines in MSR value in the quarter as interest rates fluctuated.

The change in fair value of MLHS and IRLC for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by an increase in pull-through adjusted locked volume and loans held for sale as of period end, as well as an increase in valuations.

The change in fair value of forward commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 of $21.1 million was driven by the increase in volume of forward commitments consistent with the increase in volume of the interest rate lock commitments and loans held for sale, as well as unfavorable market pricing and volatility as compared to the previous quarter.

The increase in provision for investor reserves for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2024 is due to an increase in forecasted loss estimates based on recent repurchase and loan sale activity.

The fair value of MSRs is driven by changes in mortgage interest rates and prepayment speeds, which generally move inversely. Rising rates slow prepayments, increasing MSR value, while falling rates accelerate prepayments, reducing MSR value. Other factors, such as discount rates and servicing cost, also affect fair value. The weighted average estimated prepayment speed of loans in our servicing portfolio increased to 8.6% at March 31, 2025 compared to 8.2% at December 31, 2024, and 8.0% at March 31, 2024. The 30-year mortgage interest rate decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulting in an increase in estimated prepayment speed, leading to a $55.0 million decrease in fair value of MSRs during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Actual prepayments decreased 31.9% from $1.6 billion during the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $1.1 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025, leading to $8.2 million lower

Total occupancy, equipment and communication expense increased from $19.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to an increase in equipment and communication expense related to leased equipment rental and vendor software licenses due to headcount and acquisition growth.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased slightly from $3.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to lower depreciation expense on fixed assets. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased from $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to lower depreciation expense on capitalized software.

Provision for Foreclosure Losses

Our provision for foreclosure losses increased from a provision of $1.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the number of loans in foreclosure related to the expiration of VA foreclosure moratorium. Our provision for foreclosure losses increased from a provision of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to an increase in number of loans in foreclosure, partially offset by the average loss rate experienced on loans in foreclosure.

Our 60-plus days delinquency rate was 1.8%, 2.0% and 1.6% at March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The delinquency rate decreased compared to the prior quarter primarily due to seasonality. We continue to monitor foreclosure reserves and potential losses regularly to assess if further changes are needed.

Income Taxes

Income tax decreased from an expense of $30.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 to a benefit of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were 24.2% and 24.0%, respectively. Income tax decreased from an expense of $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to a benefit of $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were 24.2% and 26.3%, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense for three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by the change from net income to net loss from the prior quarter and prior year.

Segment Results

Our operations are comprised of two distinct but related reportable segments that we refer to as our origination and servicing segments. We operate our origination segment from office locations throughout the United States. Our licensed sales professionals and support staff cultivate deep relationships with our referral partners and clients and provide a customized approach to the loan transaction, whether it is a purchase or a refinance. Although our origination and servicing segments are separated for this presentation, management sees the two segments as intricately related and interdependent. We believe that our servicing segment provides a steady stream of revenue to support our origination segment and that, more importantly, our servicing segment positions us to build longstanding client relationships that drive repeat and referral business back to the origination segment to recapture our clients’ future mortgage transactions. In particular, the growth of our servicing segment is dependent on the continued growth of our origination volume because our servicing portfolio consists primarily of originated MSRs.

Financial results from our acquisitions are integrated into their respective segments after the close of the transactions. Revenues and expenses from our acquisitions are allocated primarily to our origination segment. See below for an overview and discussion of each of our segments’ results for three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. These results do not include unallocated corporate costs. See “Note 16—Segments” of the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report for additional information about our segments.

The net income allocated to our origination segment declined by $3.7 million, or 439.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in net revenue of $19.1 million, or 9.1%, offset by a 7.4% decrease in volume related expenses.

Total originations decreased $1.5 billion, or 22.9%, and total origination units decreased by 21.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2024 driven by seasonality.

Our gain on sale margins increased to 376 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 317 basis points for the previous quarter ended December 31, 2024 due to interest rate and market volatility.

Our purchase volume percentage increased from 82.3% to 87.6% of total originations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2024 due to interest rate decreases seen during the prior quarter which led to an increase in refinance activity.

The percentage of service retained originations decreased to 60.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 63.5% for the previous quarter ended December 31, 2024 due to continued higher execution opportunities on service released sales.

The net loss allocated to our origination segment improved significantly by $21.3 million, or 88.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to an increase in net revenue of $52.7 million, or 38.2%, which was partially offset by our 19.4% increase in volume related expenses, showing our ability to scale as we grow originations.

Total originations increased $1.4 billion, or 35.1%, and total origination units increased by 28.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 driven by expansion from prior year acquisition and organic recruiting.

Our gain on sale margins increased to 376 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 364 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to interest rate and market volatility.

Our purchase volume percentage decreased slightly from 90.8% to 87.6% of total originations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 driven by increased refinance activity led by periodic drops in interest rates during the first quarter of 2025.

The percentage of service retained originations decreased to 60.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 72.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to receiving higher execution on service released sales.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have included:

•cash flows from our operations, including:

◦sale of whole loans into the secondary market;

◦loan origination fees;

◦servicing fee income; and

◦interest income on MLHS;

•borrowings on warehouse lines of credit to originate mortgage loans; and

•borrowings on our notes payable.

Historically, our primary uses of funds have included:

•cash flows used in our operations, including but not limited to:

◦origination of MLHS;

◦payment of interest expense; and

◦payment of operating expenses, including personnel costs and IT infrastructure;

Table of Contents

◦advances of interest/taxes or other payments on loans serviced;

•repayments on warehouse lines of credit;

•repayments on our notes payable;

•acquisitions of other mortgage businesses;

•share repurchases; and

•payment of dividends.

We are also subject to contingencies that may have a significant effect on the use of our cash, such as earn-outs on our prior acquisitions. We believe that our cash flows from operations and other available sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our material cash requirements for the next twelve months. We believe we will meet longer-term expected future cash requirements and obligations through a combination of existing cash and cash equivalent balances, cash flow from operations, and amounts available for borrowing under our loan funding facilities.

Debt Obligations

In order to originate and aggregate loans for sale into the secondary market, we use our own working capital and borrow or obtain money on a short-term basis, primarily through committed and uncommitted loan funding facilities that we have established with large national and global banks. We fund substantially all of the mortgage loans we close through borrowings under our loan funding facilities.

Our loan funding facilities are primarily in the form of master repurchase agreements, which we refer to as “warehouse lines of credit.” Loans financed under these facilities are generally financed at approximately 97% to 98% of the principal balance of the loan (although certain types of loans are financed at lower percentages of the principal balance of the loan), which requires us to fund the balance from cash generated from our operations. Once closed, the underlying mortgage loan that is held for sale is pledged as collateral for the borrowing or advance that was made under these loan funding facilities. In most cases, the loans will remain in one of the loan funding facilities for only a short time, generally less than one month, until the loans are pooled and sold. During 2025, our loans remained on warehouse lines of credit for an average of 16 days. During the time the loans are held for sale, we earn interest income from the borrower on the underlying mortgage loan. This income is partially offset by the interest and fees we must pay under the loan funding facilities.

When we sell a pool of loans in the secondary market, the proceeds received from the sale of the loans are used to pay back the amounts we owe on the loan funding facilities. We rely on the cash generated from the sale of loans to fund future loans and repay borrowings under our loan funding facilities.

As of March 31, 2025, we had twelve different loan funding facilities in different amounts and with various maturities, including an early buyout facility. The early buyout facility allows us to purchase certain delinquent GNMA loans that we service and finance them on the facility until the loan is cured or subsequently sold. As of March 31, 2025, the total facility size under our loan facilities was approximately $2.8 billion, with combined outstanding balances of approximately $1.2 billion. We are continually assessing our financing arrangements to ensure they are aligned with our business needs and make adjustments as necessary. We intend to renew our warehouse lines of credit maturing in the next twelve months.

As of March 31, 2025, we had three different notes payable, collateralized by MSRs, in different amounts with different maturities. As of March 31, 2025, the aggregate facility size of our notes payable facilities totaled $750.0 million, with combined outstanding balances of $340.0 million. Subject to certain commitment amounts and borrowing base limitations, we had $195.0 million of borrowing capacity available under our notes payable. The borrowing capacity under our notes payable is restricted by the valuation of our servicing portfolio.

The amount of financing advanced on each individual loan under our loan funding facilities is determined by agreed upon advance rates, but may be less than the stated rate due to fluctuations in the market value of the mortgage loans securing the financings. If the lenders providing the funds under our loan funding facilities determine that the value of the loans serving as collateral for our borrowings under those facilities has decreased, they can initiate a margin call to require us to provide additional collateral or reduce the amount outstanding with respect to those loans. Our inability or unwillingness to satisfy such a request could result in the termination of the related facilities and a potential default under our other loan funding facilities. In addition, a large unanticipated margin call could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

The amount owed and outstanding under our loan funding facilities fluctuates significantly based on our origination volume, the amount of time it takes us to sell the loans we originate and the amount of loans we self-fund with cash. We may from time to time post surplus cash as additional collateral to buy down the effective interest rates of certain loan funding facilities or to self-fund a portion of our loan originations. As of March 31, 2025, we had posted $36.1 million in cash as additional collateral. We have the ability to draw back

Table of Contents

this additional collateral at any time unless a margin call has been made or a default has occurred under the relevant facilities.

Our loan funding facilities and notes payable generally require us to comply with certain operating and financial covenants and the availability of funds under these facilities are subject to, among other conditions, our continued compliance with these covenants. These financial covenants include, but are not limited to, maintaining a certain (i) minimum tangible net worth, (ii) minimum liquidity and (iii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities or total debt to tangible net worth and (iv) satisfying certain adjusted pre-tax net income requirements. We may need to seek waivers or amendments of covenants depending on future operating performance. A breach of these covenants could result in an event of default under our funding facilities, which would allow the related lenders to pursue certain remedies. In addition, each of these facilities includes cross default or cross acceleration provisions that could result in all of our funding facilities terminating if an event of default or acceleration of maturity occurs under any one of them. We were in compliance with each of these covenants as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Our debt obligations are summarized below by facility as of March 31, 2025:

Secondary Market Investors

The investors to whom we sell mortgage loans we originate in the secondary market require us to abide by certain operating and financial covenants. These covenants include maintaining (i) a certain minimum net worth, (ii) a certain minimum liquidity, (iii) a certain minimum of total liquid assets, (iv) a certain minimum ratio of adjusted net worth to total assets and (v) fidelity bond and mortgage servicing errors and omissions coverage. A breach of these covenants could result in an event of default and could disallow us to continue selling mortgage loans to one or all of these investors in the secondary market, which in turn could have a significant impact on our liquidity and results of operations. We were in compliance with each of these covenants as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily influenced by changes in the levels of inventory of loans held for sale, as shown below:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2025		2024
Loans held for sale	$	164,527	$	(224,932)
Other operating sources (uses)	16,254		(36,511)
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	180,781	$	(261,443)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 the timing of our loan sales were higher than loan originations resulting in a net cash inflow as the level of our loans held for sale declined from prior year end compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 where loans held for sale increased from the prior year end to March 31, 2024, resulting in cash outflows.

Investing activities

Our investing activities primarily consist of originations and payment activity on loans held for investment, strategic acquisitions and purchases of property and equipment. Cash used in investing activities decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior period, primarily due to $17.7 million used to fund acquisitions in the three months ended March 31, 2024. This was partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in cash outflow related to other investing activities.

Financing activities

Our cash flows from financing activities are primarily influenced by changes in the levels of warehouse lines of credit used to fund loan originations, which were consistent with the changes in loan origination volume.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
($ in thousands)	2025		2024
Warehouse lines of credit	$	(190,810)	$	224,477
Notes payable	40,000		36,234
Other financing (uses) sources	(3,783)		16,095
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(154,593)	$	276,806

Borrowings under warehouse lines of credit move directionally with our MLHS. When our loan originations are higher than our loan sales, borrowings on our warehouse lines of credit would typically exceed our repayments on those lines and when our loan sales exceed our loan originations, our repayments on those lines would typically be higher than our borrowings. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 the timing of our loan sales exceeded originations, resulting in a decline in loans held for sale and a decrease in borrowings under our warehouse lines therefore cash repayments were higher than borrowings.

The decrease in cash provided by other financing activities was primarily driven by $31.0 million in dividend payments during the three months ended March 31, 2025. This was offset by an increase due to net borrowings of $40.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net borrowings of $36.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 on our notes payable. In addition, we borrowed $37.7 million in connection with our reverse mortgage securitizations in the three months ended March 31,

2025, which was offset by payments of $9.2 million on our HMBS-related obligations compared to $26.5 million of borrowings and $9.5 million of payments for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 5, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase up to $20.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares over the next 24 months. On March 7, 2024, our Board of Directors extended the share repurchase program to May 5, 2025 and on March 5, 2025, the share repurchase program was extended to May 5, 2026. The share repurchase program allows us to repurchase our Class A common shares from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We are not obligated to purchase any shares under the share repurchase program and the timing of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, market conditions, and other general business considerations. The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time. We intend to fund any repurchases under the share repurchase program with cash on hand. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased and subsequently retired 35,216 shares of our Class A common stock at an average purchase price of $12.94 per share, excluding commissions. As of March 31, 2025, $9.5 million remains available for repurchase.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

We enter into IRLCs with borrowers who have applied for residential forward mortgage loans and who meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. These commitments expose us to market risk if interest rates change during the period of time in which the loan is not economically hedged or committed to be sold to an investor. We are also exposed to credit loss if a loan for which we entered into an IRLC is originated and is not sold to an investor and the related client does not perform. The collateral upon extension of credit typically consists of a first deed of trust in the mortgagor’s residential property. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. Total commitments to originate forward mortgage loans, adjusted for pull-through, were approximately $1.7 billion and $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. See “Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies” of the “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide information for this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We are required to maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in the Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified during the three months ended March 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are, and from time to time may become, involved in legal and regulatory proceedings or subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We operate within highly regulated industries on a federal, state and local level and are routinely subject to various examinations and legal and regulatory proceedings in the normal and ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any legal or regulatory proceedings that in the opinion of our management, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than the risk factors discussed below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2025.

Significant changes to the size, structure, powers, and operations of the federal government and uncertainties regarding the potential for future changes, could cause disruptions to the regulatory environment in which we operate and could adversely impact our business and results of operations.

The current U.S. administration has implemented significant changes in federal priorities and has taken steps to change the operations, structure, and policy focus of various federal agencies, as well as regulatory priorities, policy approaches and interpretations of existing laws by those federal agencies. For example, recent executive actions and proposed legislation have changed agency mandates, modified or reduced federal agency and program funding, altered regulatory frameworks, or adjusted the size and composition of the federal workforce, including at the FHA, HUD, VA, and CFPB. Moreover, leadership transitions at key federal agencies have impacted or may impact rulemaking and enforcement priorities relevant to Guild’s business. To the extent that regulatory reform, funding changes or limitations, or program discontinuations affect the governmental agencies that support the mortgage industry, such as FHA, HUD, VA or USDA, it may affect the cost and availability of mortgage loans, the secondary home loan market or the housing market in general.

Additionally, in connection with the recent change in the federal government administration, there has been discussion regarding the privatization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which currently create financial products that support the mortgage market, reduce risks for investors and may influence mortgage rates in the U.S. Currently, the majority of our loan products are sold to either these GSEs or Ginnie Mae and the gain recognized from these sales represents a significant portion of our revenues and net earnings. If it is not possible or economical for us to continue selling mortgages to the GSEs or other loan purchasers, whether because of privatization, changes in the funding or authority of these market participants or otherwise, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Changes in economic conditions, including as a result of macroeconomic policy changes by the U.S. government, may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The current U.S. administration also has implemented rapid shifts in macroeconomic policies, such as those relating to trade restrictions and tariffs, which have created significant uncertainties regarding U.S. economic growth, the potential for recession, and concerns over inflation.

For example, increased or sustained inflation may lead to increases in longer-term mortgage rates, including interest rates on 30-year fixed rate mortgages. Higher interest rates may make it more difficult for our customers to afford homes, as well as reduce the rate of refinancing. Both of these effects of inflation could reduce the overall volume of mortgage originations. Additionally, the housing supply in the U.S. is sensitive to the costs of construction materials, including lumber, steel, or cement, and to the cost and availability of residential construction labor. Federal economic policies relating to tariffs and trade restrictions, and immigration, may increase or limit the availability of construction materials and labor, which in turn may limit housing supply or increase the cost of housing. If the housing supply fails to expand or contracts, prospective homeowners may not be able to afford to buy homes, potentially leading to a decrease in mortgage origination rates. Difficult conditions in the U.S. consumer, business and economic environment, including those caused by rapid and substantial shifts in U.S. economic policies, may materially adversely affect our results of operations.

Other political and economic events within the United States, including a contentious domestic political environment, changes in or disagreements over U.S. monetary policy and actions of the Federal Reserve, disagreements over long-term federal budget and deficit reduction plans, the threat of a U.S. government shutdown, disagreements over, or threats not to increase, the U.S. government’s borrowing limit (or “debt ceiling”), and risk of further downgrade of the ratings of U.S. government debt obligations, also may negatively impact financial markets and the U.S. economy.

Table of Contents

Further, the perception of the potential for additional, significant changes in federal economic policy also has increased uncertainty and may exacerbate declines in investor and consumer confidence, which in turn may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy of the U.S., perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree making it difficult for us to anticipate and mitigate attendant risks.

Slow economic growth, economic contraction or recession, or shifts in broader consumer, market and business trends may significantly impact our ability to originate mortgage loans, the ability of borrowers to repay loans, our servicing revenue, the value of the collateral securing our mortgage loans, or our ability to sell our loan products in the secondary market at favorable pricing, all of which would adversely impact our business and results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The share repurchase program allows us to repurchase shares of our Class A common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. We are not obligated to purchase any shares under the share repurchase program and the timing of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, market conditions, and other general business considerations. The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 1—BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Guild Holdings Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “Guild” or the “Company”) originates, sells, and services residential mortgage loans in the United States. The Company operates in two reportable segments, origination and servicing. The Company operates approximately 430 branches with licenses in 49 states and the District of Columbia. The Company originates residential mortgages through retail and other channels. The Company is certified with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and operates as a Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) non-supervised lender. In addition, the Company is an approved issuer with the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA” or “Ginnie Mae”), as well as an approved seller and servicer with the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA” or “Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”) and the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (“USDA”). Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or consolidates as a variable interest entity or joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company follows the same accounting policies for preparing quarterly and annual reports. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although management is not currently aware of any factors that would significantly change its estimates and assumptions, actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Escrow and Fiduciary Funds As a loan servicer, the Company maintains segregated bank accounts in trust for investors and escrow balances for mortgagors, which are excluded from the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These accounts totaled $976.8 million and $788.6 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Recent Accounting Standards In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosures about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. For public business entities the update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the new guidance on its financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.

On March 7, 2024, our Board of Directors extended the share repurchase program to May 5, 2025 and on March 5, 2025, the share repurchase program was extended to May 5, 2026. The share repurchase program allows the Company to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the share repurchase program and the timing of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, market conditions, and other general business considerations. The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors at any time. The Company intends to fund any repurchases under the share repurchase program with cash on hand. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased and subsequently retired 35,216 shares of its Class A common stock for $0.5 million at an average price of $12.94 per share, excluding commissions.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or consolidates as a variable interest entity or joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2024 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company follows the same accounting policies for preparing quarterly and annual reports.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although management is not currently aware of any factors that would significantly change its estimates and assumptions, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Escrow and Fiduciary Funds	Escrow and Fiduciary Funds As a loan servicer, the Company maintains segregated bank accounts in trust for investors and escrow balances for mortgagors, which are excluded from the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Recent Accounting Standards	Recent Accounting Standards In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosures about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. For public business entities the update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the new guidance on its financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires that an entity, on an annual basis, disclose additional income tax information, primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendment in the ASU is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on its financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized within a three-level fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The categorization of assets and liabilities measured at fair value within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: •Level One — Level One inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. •Level Two — Level Two inputs are observable for that asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, observable inputs for the asset or liability other than quoted prices and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified contractual term, the inputs must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. •Level Three — Level Three inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect the Company’s assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and are developed based on the best information available.
