Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of federal securities laws.
Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections
and other statements about future events that are based
on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result,
are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could
cause actual future events to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements in this communication. Such
factors can be found in the Registration Statement on
Form S-1 filed with the SEC by the Company on October
12, 2023, as well as the Company's most recent quarterly
report on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K,
which are available, free of charge, at the SEC's website
at www.sec.gov. New risks and uncertainties arise from
time to time, and it is impossible for Better to predict
these events or how they may affect us. You are cautioned
not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date made, and
Better undertakes no obligation, except required by
law, to update or revise the forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, changes in
expectations, future events or otherwise.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial
Metrics
This presentation includes certain financial measures not
presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") including, Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Revenue excluding
Better Cash Offer program revenue, Total Expenses
excluding Better Cash Offer program, metrics derived
therefrom and other key metrics.
We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income
(loss) adjusted for the impact of stock-based
compensation expense, change in the fair value of
warrants, change in the fair value of bifurcated derivative,
interest on Pre-Closing Bridge Notes, and other non-
recurring or non-core operational expenses. We calculate
Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for the
impact of stock-based compensation expense, change in
the fair value of warrants, change in the fair value of
bifurcated derivative, interest on Pre-Closing Bridge
Notes, and other non-recurring or non-core operational
expenses, as well as interest and amortization on non-
funding debt (which includes interest on Convertible
Notes), depreciation and amortization expense, and
income tax expense. Revenue excluding Cash Offer
program revenue is determined by excluding Cash offer
program revenue from Total net revenues. Total Expenses
excluding Cash Offer program expenses is determined by
excluding Cash offer program expenses from Total
expenses. These non-GAAP financial measures should
not be considered in isolation and are not intended to be a
substitute for any GAAP financial measures. These non-
GAAP measures provide supplemental information that
we believe helps investors better understand our
business, our business model and how we analyze our
performance. We also believe these non-GAAP financial
measures improve investors' and analysts' ability to
compare our results with those of our competitors and
other similarly situated companies, which commonly
disclose similar performance measures.
However, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) may not be comparable to
similarly titled performance measures presented by other
companies. Further, although we use these non-GAAP
measures to assess the financial performance of our
business, these measures exclude certain substantial
costs related to our business, and investors are cautioned
not to use such measures as a substitute for financial
results prepared according to GAAP. Non-GAAP financial
measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors
because they have no standardized meaning prescribed
by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive
set of accounting rules or principles. As a result, non-
GAAP financial measures should be viewed as
supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for,
our financial results prepared and presented in
accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP
measures used in this presentation to the closest
comparable GAAP measures, see the Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Measures section of this presentation.
Key Metrics
In this presentation, we refer to the following key metrics:
Funded Loan Volume is the aggregate dollar amount of
loans funded based on the principal amount of the loan at
funding. Purchase Volume is the ratio (expressed as a
percentage) of the aggregate dollar amount of purchase
loans funded in a given period based on the principal
amount of the loan at funding to Funded Loan Volume.
D2C Volume is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of
the aggregate dollar amount of loans funded in a given
period based on the principal amount of the loan at
funding that have been generated from direct interactions
with customers using all marketing channels other than
our B2B partner relationships to Funded Loan Volume.
Total Loans represents the total number of loans funded
in a given period, including purchase loans, refinance
loans and HELOC loans, and HELOC Loans is the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) of Total Loans that were
HELOC loans. D2C One-Day Mortgage is the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) of Total Loans originated
through our "One-Day Mortgage" program that have been
generated from direct interactions with customers using
all marketing channels other than our B2B partner
relationships. Gain on Sale Margin is mortgage platform
revenue, net, for a given period, as presented on our
statements of operations and comprehensive income
(loss), divided by Funded Loan Volume.
