million, flat to the prior quarter and an increase of $11 million
year over year, primarily driven by an increase in accreted yield
on the Company’s residual interests.

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.

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.

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.
