Initial $10 million share repurchase program authorization advances leadership’s $30 million buyback plan

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Better Home & Finance Holding Company (NASDAQ: BETR) (“Better” or the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Better intends to begin repurchases with an initial $10 million phase.

The program advances Better 2.0’s commitment to disciplined capital allocation as Better advances its next phase of growth. The Company intends to align the pace of the repurchases with executed operational cost savings and asset disposals such as the proposed sale of the Company’s UK bank subsidiary. Upon Garg’s return, the Company has ramped up its cost optimization initiatives and already executed on changes in its marketing budget and large third party vendors in legal and data services, with additional cuts of approximately $1 million per month realized, and on an expected contribution margin neutral basis.

“I spent over 2 months outside the Company, getting fully AI-pilled in a hands-on way that is difficult to do as the CEO of a large organization. During my campaign, my small team and I ran AI-first marketing, social media, and legal workstreams. I am immediately applying what we learned directly inside Better,” said Vishal Garg, Chief Platform, Product, and Innovation Officer at Better. “This buyback plan is going to be funded through cost savings and capital releases. I am back because I firmly believe there is a $100 billion AI-native fintech disrupting the largest tangible asset class in the world hiding inside Better. Our job is to not just build it like we did over the last 10 years, but to monetize and unlock it to earn our shareholders’ confidence through tangible commercial results.”

Repurchases may be made through open market purchases of the Company’s Class A common stock. The timing and amount of purchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the trading price, volume of trading, implementation of the Company’s cost savings plan, the Company’s liquidity profile and any other rules and regulations. The program expires on October 8, 2027.

“We believe our shares are dramatically undervalued at less than 1x revenue; our valuation falls short of our fintech and AI-native platform peers and it does not reflect Better’s potential. The repurchase authorization puts another point on the scoreboard for Better 2.0. By reducing the number of shares outstanding this repurchase helps all shareholders are we build our way back up to fair value,” Garg added.

Key Terms

contribution margin financial

Contribution margin is the amount of money left from a product’s sale after paying the costs that rise with each unit sold (like materials or hourly labor); it can be shown per unit or as a percentage of the sale price. Investors care because it shows how much each sale contributes to covering fixed expenses and generating profit — think of each sale as a slice of pie where the contribution margin is the slice available to pay the rent and add to earnings.
