Insights

Financial Analyst

Rocket reports GAAP loss amid revenue decline despite volume growth; announces major acquisitions of Redfin and Mr. Cooper.

Rocket Companies delivered $1.3 billion in adjusted revenue at the high end of guidance, but reported a concerning $212 million GAAP loss ($0.08 per share) compared to a $291 million profit in Q1 2024. This stark contrast between GAAP and adjusted metrics ($80 million adjusted profit) reveals underlying challenges in the mortgage business.

The financial fundamentals show deterioration: expenses increased 16% year-over-year while GAAP revenue declined 25%, creating significant margin pressure. Mortgage metrics present a mixed picture - closed loan volume grew 7% to $21.6 billion and net rate lock volume increased 17% to $26.1 billion, but gain-on-sale margin compressed 22 basis points to 2.89%.

Segment performance diverged notably. The Direct to Consumer segment saw adjusted revenue increase 16.5% to $1.02 billion with contribution margin improving 18.3%, while Partner Network revenue declined 32.9% with contribution margin dropping 50%.

The most significant development is Rocket's transformative all-stock acquisitions: Redfin for $1.75 billion and Mr. Cooper Group for $9.4 billion. These moves fundamentally reshape Rocket's business model by integrating home search capabilities (Redfin) and servicing (Mr. Cooper's $1.5 trillion portfolio) with Rocket's origination platform - creating an end-to-end homeownership ecosystem.

The company also simplified its capital structure by collapsing its "Up-C" structure while paying a $0.80 per share special dividend. Rocket maintains a strong liquidity position with $8.1 billion in total available capital, providing financial flexibility during this transformation.

Q2 guidance projects adjusted revenue between $1.175 billion and $1.325 billion, suggesting stable sequential performance. Product innovations like RentRewards and the 1-0 Rate Break Buy Down demonstrate attempts to adapt to market conditions, while AI implementation in operations reportedly delivered $1 million in cost savings.

These results indicate Rocket is making bold strategic moves to reposition itself while wrestling with profitability challenges in its core business. The acquisitions represent a significant bet on vertical integration across the homeownership journey, though integration execution will be critical.

• Generated Q1'25 total revenue, net of $1.0 billion and adjusted revenue of $1.3 billion. Adjusted revenue came in at the high end of our guidance range
• Reported Q1'25 GAAP net loss of $212 million, or $0.08 GAAP diluted loss per share and adjusted net income of $80 million, or $0.04 adjusted diluted earnings per share
• Delivered Q1'25 adjusted EBITDA of $169 million

Company Highlights

• Our home equity loan offering hit another record quarter, as homeowners looked to access their equity without affecting their first-lien mortgage rate. Home equity loans offer an efficient way to leverage record- high home equity for significant life events like debt consolidation, home improvements, or family-related expenses.
• In March, Rocket Pro launched three API integrations across five external partners, allowing brokers to streamline the loan process from quote to close. A redesigned Loan Dashboard also went live, giving brokers faster, more self-service functionality.
• In April, Rocket Pro completed integration with ARIVE—a loan origination platform used by more than 20,000 mortgage brokers and facilitating roughly a quarter of broker volume nationwide. Mortgage brokers have responded with enthusiasm - within days, the integration drove over 9,000 pricing calls, including engagement from more than 300 brokers connecting with Rocket Pro for the first time.
• In February, we launched Rocket Mortgage RentRewards, our first-to-market program, offering eligible renters a promotional credit of 10% of their annual rent, up to $5,000, to support their path to homeownership. In March, RentRewards was featured in a marketing campaign leveraging our Own the Dream core creative idea, originally introduced during the Super Bowl. The campaign drove significant engagement, generating over 1 million visits to the RentRewards landing page.
• In February, Rocket Mortgage announced the 1-0 Rate Break Buy Down, a mortgage product offering homebuyers temporary relief by reducing their mortgage interest rate by 1% in the first year. This innovative approach helps borrowers ease into their mortgage payments while maintaining long-term financial stability with a predictable rate structure.
• In March, Rocket Mortgage launched an agentic AI tool within Rocket Logic. The latest use case applies this technology to determine the responsible party for paying the transfer tax fee—a historically complex and error-prone manual process. Since implementation, the solution has reduced estimated remediation costs related to transfer tax errors by 50%, with projected savings exceeding $1 million in 2025.
• On March 10, the Company announced a simplification of its capital and organizational structure through the collapse of its "Up-C" structure, providing that each class of common stock will be entitled to one vote per share, and reducing its classes of common stock from four to two (the "Up-C Collapse"). In connection with the Up-C Collapse, the Rocket Companies' board of directors authorized and declared a special cash dividend of $0.80 per share for holders of Class A common stock. The dividend was paid on April 3, 2025, to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2025.
• On March 10, the Company announced an all-stock acquisition of Redfin Corporation for $1.75 billion in equity value. Under the agreement, each Redfin share will be exchanged for 0.7926 shares of Rocket Companies Class A common stock. Founded in 2004, Redfin is one of the most recognized real estate brands in the U.S., drawing 50 million monthly active visitors, featuring over 1 million for-sale and rental listings, and is supported by a tech-enabled brokerage of more than 2,200 agents. The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2025.
• On March 31, the Company announced an all-stock acquisition of Mr. Cooper Group Inc. for $9.4 billion in equity value. Under the agreement, each Mr. Cooper share will be exchanged for 11.0 shares of Rocket Companies Class A common stock. Founded in 1994, Mr. Cooper is an industry leader with 6.5 million servicing clients, a $1.5 trillion servicing portfolio, and 16 petabytes of data. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
• In April, Rocket Mortgage extended its existing $1.15 billion revolving credit facility. Driven by strong demand and a positive outlook of the pending acquisition of Mr. Cooper, the facility will be upsized to $2.25 billion following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the closing of the Mr. Cooper acquisition.

Rocket Corporate Responsibility: For-More-Than-Profit

• In January, the Rocket Community Fund, a partner company, launched a new digital inclusion initiative with Tech Goes Home, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit. The program provides Detroit residents with essential technology training, internet access, and devices—broadening equitable digital access and strengthening pathways to education, employment, and financial empowerment.

Second Quarter 2025 Outlook²

In Q2 2025, we expect adjusted revenue between $1.175 billion to $1.325 billion.

Direct to Consumer

In the Direct to Consumer segment, clients have the ability to interact with Rocket Mortgage digitally and/or with the Company's mortgage bankers. The Company markets to potential clients in this segment through various brand campaigns and performance marketing channels. The Direct to Consumer segment derives revenue from originating, closing, selling and servicing predominantly agency-conforming loans, which are pooled and sold to the secondary market. The segment also includes title and settlement services and appraisal management, complementing the Company's end-to-end mortgage origination experience. Servicing activities are fully allocated to the Direct to Consumer segment and are viewed as an extension of the client experience. Servicing enables Rocket Mortgage to establish and maintain long term relationships with our clients, through multiple touchpoints at regular engagement intervals.

The Rocket Professional platform supports our Partner Network segment, where we leverage our superior client service and widely recognized brand to grow marketing and influencer relationships and our mortgage broker partnerships through Rocket Pro. Our marketing partnerships consist of well-known consumer-focused companies that find value in our award-winning client experience and want to offer their clients mortgage solutions with our trusted, widely recognized brand. These organizations connect their clients directly to us through marketing channels and a referral process. Our influencer partnerships are typically with companies that employ licensed mortgage professionals that find value in our client experience, technology and efficient mortgage process, where mortgages may not be their primary offering. We also enable clients to start the mortgage process through the Rocket platform in the way that works best for them, including through a local mortgage broker.

3 We measure the performance of the Direct to Consumer and Partner Network segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Contribution margin is intended to measure the direct profitability of each segment and is calculated as Adjusted revenue less directly attributable expenses. Directly attributable expenses include salaries, commissions and team member benefits, general and administrative expenses, marketing and advertising expenses and other expenses, such as mortgage servicing related expenses and expenses generated from Rocket Close (title and settlement services). A loan is considered "sold" when it is sold to investors on the secondary market. See "Summary Segment Results" section below and "Segments" footnote in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's forthcoming filing on Form 10-Q for more information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively "our non- GAAP financial measures") as non-GAAP measures which management believes provide useful information to investors. We believe that the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income (loss), or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define our non-GAAP financial measures differently, and as a result, our measures of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures provide indicators of performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items.

Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on these measures for planning and forecasting of future periods. Additionally, these measures allow management to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures.

We define "Adjusted revenue" as total revenues net of the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges). We define "Adjusted net income" as tax-effected net income (loss) before share-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), acquisition-related expenses and the tax effects of those adjustments as applicable. We define "Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share" as Adjusted net income divided by the adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding which includes diluted weighted average Class A common stock and the assumed pro forma exchange and conversion of Class D common stock outstanding for the applicable period presented. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) before interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt, (benefit from) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges) and acquisition-related expenses.

We exclude from each of our non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), as this represents a non-cash non-realized adjustment to our total revenues, reflecting changes in market interest rates and assumptions, including discount rates and prepayment speeds, which are not indicative of our performance or results of operation. We  also exclude effects of contractual prepayment protection associated with sales of MSRs. Adjusted EBITDA includes Interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of Interest income, net, as these expenses are a direct cost driven  by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Our definitions of each of our non-GAAP financial measures allow us to add back certain cash and non-cash charges, and deduct certain gains that are included in calculating Total revenue, net, Net (loss) income attributable to Rocket Companies or Net (loss) income. However, these expenses and gains vary greatly, and are difficult to predict. From time to time in the future, we may include or exclude other items if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors.

Although we use our non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. Our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

For financial outlook information, the Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted revenue to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the GAAP measure cannot be reliably estimated and the reconciliation cannot be performed without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties and adjusting items that the Company cannot reasonably predict at this time but which may be material.
