Rhea-AI Filing Summary
loanDepot, Inc. reported 2025 results showing higher volumes and revenue but continued losses. Full-year revenue rose 12% to $1.19 billion, while net loss narrowed to $108 million from $202 million, helped by stronger production and a 46% increase in adjusted EBITDA to $122 million.
In the fourth quarter, loan origination volume climbed 23% to $8.04 billion and market share reached 1.4%, but revenue slipped 4% to $310 million and net loss widened to $33 million from $9 million as gain-on-sale margins eased and expenses grew 3%. Adjusted EBITDA fell to $29 million from $49 million.
Cash and equivalents declined to $337 million from $459 million, mainly due to investment in loan inventory and full repayment of 2025 unsecured notes. The servicing portfolio unpaid principal balance increased to $119.1 billion with a 71% preliminary organic refinance recapture rate. For Q1 2026, the company guides to origination volume of $6.75–$7.75 billion, pull-through weighted lock volume of $7.75–$8.75 billion and pull-through weighted gain-on-sale margin of 270–300 basis points.

IRVINE, Calif., March 10, 2026 - loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot” or the “Company”), today announced results for the year-end and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025.
“In the fourth quarter we originated the most volume since 2022, gained share in an expanding market and achieved a 71% recapture rate from our in-house servicing platform,” said Founder and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Hsieh. “These results reflect progress in our return to the core competencies that enabled the scaling to become the 2nd largest retail lender nationally during our first decade. Behind the scenes, we remained focused on reducing unit costs through operating leverage and automation, while investing in our marketing engine to drive more opportunities to the top of the funnel.
1 Based on data published by Mortgage Bankers Association on February 17, 2026.

Hsieh continued, “While the third-party origination and MSR markets have consolidated around scale and operating efficiency, the consumer facing marketplace remains highly fragmented and inefficient. We believe our assets and strategy provide us unique competitive advantages to capitalize on this fragmentation. First, our distribution model brings new customers into our ecosystem across a diversity of channels, transactions and geographies. Second, vertical integration means we control the consumer experience from end-to-end, from application to closing to servicing, and back again through our industry leading recapture capabilities. As digital migration continues to gain momentum, the companies capable of deploying AI applications directly to consumers will redefine the productivity and efficiency standards for our industry. These are our opportunities and what we are working towards every day.”
Added Chief Financial Officer, David Hayes, “The fourth quarter reflected the emerging benefits of our investment in technology and operating efficiency during a period of higher volumes. As loan volume and market share expanded, we were able to reduce certain volume-related costs such as marketing and direct origination expense. Our investments in operating efficiencies also translated to positive financial results for the full year. We increased adjusted revenue by 10% year-over-year while limiting expense growth to less than 1%, contributing to a 31% reduction in adjusted net loss. As a result of this progress, we entered 2026 as a fundamentally stronger company than we were in 2025.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide 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. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs, gains (losses) from the sale of MSRs, and related hedging gains and losses that represent realized and unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We have excluded expenses directly related to the cybersecurity incident in January 2024 that resulted from unauthorized access to our systems (the “Cybersecurity Incident”), net of insurance recoveries during fiscal 2024, such as costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, and professional fees, including legal expenses, litigation settlement costs, and commission guarantees. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, and impairment charges to operating lease right-of-use assets, as well as certain costs associated with our restructuring efforts, as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of “net interest income (expense),” as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Adjustments to Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the pro forma conversion of weighted average Class C common stock to Class A common stock. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Some of these limitations are:
•They do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;
•Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and
•They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to the Company, or Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share or as an indicator of our operating performance and 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. We

compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Information To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non- GAAP measures provide 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. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA. We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs, gains (losses) from the sale of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses that represent realized and unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We have excluded expenses directly related to the cybersecurity incident in January 2024 that resulted from unauthorized access to our systems (the “Cybersecurity Incident”), net of insurance recoveries during fiscal 2024, such as costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, and professional fees, including legal expenses, litigation settlement costs, and commission guarantees. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, and impairment charges to operating lease right-of-use assets, as well as certain costs associated with our restructuring efforts, as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of “net interest income (expense),” as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Market and Industry Data This presentation also contains information regarding the loanDepot’s market and industry that is derived from third-party research and publications. That information may rely upon a number of assumptions and limitations, and the Company has not independently verified its accuracy or completeness.
