(2) | Changes in fair value include changes in fair value of loans and securities held for investment and related obligations due to market inputs or model assumptions, deferred purchase price obligations, contingent earnout, warrant liability, and minority investments. | |
(3) | Includes amortization or impairment of intangibles and impairment of certain other long-lived assets. | |
(4) | Beginning with the third quarter of 2024, the Company revised our definitions of adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings (loss) per share to now adjust for all non-cash equity-based compensation in this line item, excluding forfeitures and accelerations associated with restructuring activities, which are included in certain non-recurring costs. Prior to the third quarter of 2024, only equity-based compensation for Replacement Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") and Earnout Right RSUs were included in our adjustments. As a result of this change, prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the updated presentation. Adjusted net loss decreased $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $1 million and $2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, from what was previously reported. The change also resulted in a decrease to adjusted loss per share of $0.05 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $0.05 and $0.13 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, from what was previously reported. | |
(5) | Reflects certain non-recurring costs and adjustments that management believes should be excluded as these do not relate to a recurring part of the core business operations. These items include amounts recognized for settlement of legal and regulatory matters, acquisition or divestiture-related expenses, and other one-time charges. | |
(6) | Pro-forma income tax provision (benefit) adjustments to apply an effective combined corporate tax rate to adjusted net income (loss) before taxes. | |
(7) | Calculated on an if-converted basis except when anti-dilutive. |

Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only the Company's beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company's control. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "believes," "expects," "potential," "continues," "may," "will," "should," "could," "seeks," "projects," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "budgets," "forecasts," "anticipates," or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements, including those risks described below. Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the Company's objectives and plans will be achieved. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this release. Results for any specified quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. A number of important factors exist that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: our ability to manage the unique challenges presented by operating as a modern retirement solutions platform rather than a vertically-integrated, diversified lending and complementary services platform due to the transformation of our business; our ability to successfully operate the recently integrated lending platform that we acquired from American Advisors Group in March 2023 and generally, our ability to operate our business profitably; our ability to respond to significant changes in prevailing interest rates and to resume profitable business operations; our geographic market concentration if the economic conditions in our current markets should decline or if our current markets are impacted by natural disasters; our use of estimates in measuring or determining the fair value of the majority of our financial assets and liabilities, which may require us to write down the value of these assets or write up the value of these liabilities if the estimates prove to be incorrect; our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors in our business markets and worldwide financial markets, including a sustained period of higher interest rates; our ability to manage changes in our licensing status, business relationships or servicing guidelines with the Government National Mortgage Association, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development or other governmental entities; our ability to obtain sufficient capital and liquidity to meet the financing and operational requirements of our business and our ability to comply with our debt agreements, including warehouse lending facilities, and pay down our substantial debt; our ability to refinance our debt on reasonable terms as it becomes due; our ability to manage disruptions in the secondary home loan market, including the mortgage-backed securities market; our ability to finance and recover costs of our reverse mortgage servicing operations; our ability to maintain compliance with the extensive regulations we are subject to, including consumer protection laws applicable to reverse mortgage lenders, which may be highly complex; our ability to compete with national banks, which are not subject to state licensing and operational requirements; our ability to manage various legal proceedings, federal or state governmental examinations and enforcement investigations we are subject to from time to time, the results of which are difficult to predict or estimate; our continued ability to remain in compliance with the terms of the consent orders issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which we assumed in connection with our acquisition of operational assets from American Advisors Group; our holding company status and dependency on distributions from Finance of America Equity Capital LLC; our ability to comply with the continued listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and avoid the delisting of our common stock from trading on its exchange; our common stock trading history has been characterized by low trading volume, which may result in an inability to sell your shares at a desired price, if at all; and our "controlled company" status under NYSE rules, which exempts us from certain corporate governance requirements and affords stockholders fewer protections.
All of these factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors or to assess the effect of each such new factor on our business. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and any of these statements included herein may prove to be inaccurate. Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements, or our objectives and plans will be achieved. Please refer to "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 15, 2024, for further information on these and other risk factors affecting us, as such factors may be amended and updated from time to time in the Company's subsequent periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company's management evaluates performance of the Company through the use of certain measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), and adjusted earnings (loss) per share.
The presentation of non-GAAP measures is used to enhance investors' understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes these key financial measures provide an additional view of our performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating cash flows, or any other performance measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings (loss) per share have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of these metrics are: (i) cash expenditures for future contractual commitments; (ii) cash requirements for working capital needs; (iii) cash requirements for certain tax payments; and (iv) all non-cash income/expense items.
Because of these limitations, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings (loss) per share should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or distribute to shareholders. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using our non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. Users of our condensed consolidated financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our non-GAAP financial measures.
Change in Non-GAAP Measures
Prior to the third quarter of 2024, the Company's adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings (loss) per share were adjusted for equity-based compensation for only the Replacement Restricted RSUs and Earnout Right RSUs. Beginning with the third quarter of 2024, the Company revised our definitions of adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings (loss) per share to now adjust for all non-cash equity-based compensation in the aforementioned non-GAAP measures. As a result of the change, prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the updated presentation.
Subsequent to granting the Replacement RSUs and Earnout Right RSUs, the Company has granted other equity-based awards. As these awards are non-cash expenses that are not directly correlated with operating results, the Company believes that analysts, investors, and other users of the financial statements may find this change beneficial when analyzing our operating performance and comparability to peers.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
We define adjusted net income (loss) as consolidated net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for:
- Income taxes
- Changes in fair value of loans and securities held for investment and related obligations due to market inputs or model assumptions, deferred purchase price obligations (including earnouts and Tax Receivable Agreements ("TRA") obligation), contingent earnout, warrant liability, and minority investments.
- Amortization or impairment of intangibles and impairment of certain other long-lived assets.
- Equity-based compensation, excluding forfeitures and accelerations associated with restructuring activities, which are included in certain non-recurring costs.
- Certain non-recurring costs and adjustments that management believes should be excluded as these do not relate to a recurring part of the core business operations. These items include amounts recognized for settlement of legal and regulatory matters, acquisition or divestiture-related expenses, and other one-time charges.
- Pro-forma income tax benefit (provision) adjustments to apply an effective combined corporate tax rate to adjusted net income (loss) before taxes.
Management considers adjusted net income (loss) important in evaluating our Company as a whole. This supplemental metric is utilized by our management team to assess the underlying key drivers and operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use this measure when analyzing our operating performance and comparability to peers. Adjusted net income (loss) is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition and use of this measure may vary from other companies in our industry.
Adjusted net income (loss) provides visibility to the underlying operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items that management does not believe are representative of our core earnings. Adjusted net income (loss) may also include other adjustments, as applicable, based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with our intent of providing a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for:
- Income taxes
- Change in fair value of loans and securities held for investment and related obligations due to market inputs or model assumptions, deferred purchase price obligations (including earnouts and TRA obligation), contingent earnout, warrant liability, and minority investments.
- Amortization or impairment of intangibles and impairment of certain other long-lived assets.
- Equity-based compensation, excluding forfeitures and accelerations associated with restructuring activities, which are included in certain non-recurring costs.
- Certain non-recurring costs and adjustments that management believes should be excluded as these do not relate to a recurring part of the core business operations. These items include amounts recognized for settlement of legal and regulatory matters, acquisition or divestiture-related expenses, and other one-time charges.
- Depreciation
- Interest expense on non-funding debt
We evaluate the performance of our company and segments through the use of adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. Management considers adjusted EBITDA important in evaluating the Company as a whole. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental metric utilized by our management team to assess the underlying key drivers and operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use this measure when analyzing our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our use of this measure and term may vary from other companies in our industry.
Adjusted EBITDA provides visibility to the underlying operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items that management does not believe are representative of our core earnings. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable, based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with our intent of providing a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.
Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share
We define adjusted earnings (loss) per share as adjusted net income (loss) (defined above) divided by the weighted average outstanding shares, which includes outstanding Class A Common Stock plus the Class A Units of Finance of America Equity Capital owned by the noncontrolling interest on an if-converted basis and any shares under the treasury stock method.
Analysts, investors, and creditors may use this measure when analyzing our operating performance and comparability to peers. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition and use of this measure may vary from other companies in our industry.
