IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 05, 2026-- 

loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, "loanDepot" or the "Company"), today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

"During the first quarter, we continued to see positive results from our investments in growth and efficiency initiatives," said Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Hsieh. "Despite a volatile market environment, we increased market share. At the same time, we made meaningful progress behind the scenes on our long-term initiatives by expanding our revenue--generating capabilities, improving operating leverage, and driving marketing efficiency.

Hsieh continued, "Since my return as CEO, I have been laser focused on our digital transformation as a key enabler of our return to a market leading position. We have focused on fully leveraging our unique assets and strategy, including one of the most differentiated customer acquisition and retention business models in the marketplace today. This includes rebuilding our management team with deep mortgage, technology, and marketing IQ; opening up our wholesale channel and increasing our loan officers to drive top line and market share growth; reducing costs and increasing operating leverage; and applying advanced automation and technology across the origination and servicing lifecycle.

Hsieh concluded, "Our recently announced partnership with Figure Technology Solutions is expected to meaningfully accelerate our work and is delivering promising early results. As we integrate this platform across our channels, we expect to lower our cost of production, improve the customer experience, close more loans more quickly and advance our long-term objective of profitable market share growth. Importantly, it also positions us to introduce new and innovative products that expand the way we serve borrowers in the future and capitalize on market improvements."

Added Chief Financial Officer, David Hayes, "The quarter reflected continued progress toward sustainable profitability, offset by geopolitically driven market volatility. We grew pull--through weighted lock volume by 14% from the prior quarter while reducing marketing costs by 12%, reflecting improvements in mid--funnel lead conversion and sharpened marketing strategies. However, market headwinds during the quarter contributed to a 53 bps decrease in our pull-through weighted gain on sale margin and wider negative fair value marks on our mortgage servicing rights and trading securities, resulting in lower revenue."

      considered non-volume related. 
(3)   We define organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate as the total 
      unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of loans in our servicing portfolio 
      that are paid in full for purposes of refinancing the loan on the same 
      property, with the Company acting as lender on both the existing and new 
      loan, divided by the UPB of all loans in our servicing portfolio that 
      paid in full for the purpose of refinancing the loan on the same 
      property. The recapture rate is finalized following the publication date 
      of this release when external data becomes available. Data is as of

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA. We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs, gains (losses) from the sale of MSRs, and related hedging gains and losses that represent realized and unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company's operating performance or results of operation. We have excluded expenses directly related to the cybersecurity incident in January 2024 that resulted from unauthorized access to our systems (the "Cybersecurity Incident"), net of insurance recoveries during fiscal 2024, such as costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, and professional fees, including legal expenses, litigation settlement costs, and commission guarantees. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, and impairment charges to operating lease right-of-use assets, as well as certain costs associated with our restructuring efforts, as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of "net interest income," as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Adjustments to Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the pro forma conversion of weighted average Class B and Class C common stock to Class A common stock. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Some of these limitations are:

   --  They do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for 
      capital expenditures or contractual commitments; 
 
   --  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or 
      the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment 
      on our debt; 
 
   --  Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets 
      being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require 
      improvements in the future, and Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, 
      and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirement for such 
      replacements or improvements; and 
 
   --  They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are 
      reflected in our statements of cash flows. 

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net loss, net loss attributable to the Company, or as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
