The distribution of this document and any related oral presentation in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law and persons into whose possession this document or any related oral presentation comes should inform themselves about, and observe, any such restriction. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the laws of any such other jurisdiction 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.
