Better Home & Finance Holding Company Announces Third Quarter 2025 Results

• Executed two significant strategic partnerships during the third quarter, in addition to a third subsequent to the end of the third quarter, marking continued progress in our evolution as a platform and software provider powering the home finance ecosystem, with additional strategic partnerships expected in Q4 2025
• The Company anticipates higher funded loan volume in Q4 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024, expecting to achieve a $500 million monthly run rate in total funded loan volume driven by strong early performance from new strategic partnerships and a significant acceleration expected through the remainder of the quarter. Our initial progress into the fourth quarter comes solely from the soft launch of one partnership, during which we marketed our solution to only a fraction of our partners' customer bases. We believe this partnership represents the most significant opportunity in Better's history
• Q3 2025 total funded loan volume grew 17% year over year compared to Q3 2024. Excluding funded loan volume from a discontinued partnership in Q3 2024, funded loan volume grew 56% year over year compared to the same quarter in 2024
• AI-driven improvements in conversion rates, efficiency gains, and corporate cost reductions are expected to further reduce losses going forward
• The Company affirms guidance of achieving Adjusted EBITDA breakeven by the end of Q3 2026

Better Home & Finance Holding Company (NASDAQ:BETR, BETRW)) ("Better," the "Company," "our" or "we"), one of the leading AI-native home finance company, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

"This was a pivotal quarter for Better as we set the stage for our next chapter of growth," said Vishal Garg, CEO and Founder of Better. "Our three new strategic partnerships validate the strength of our platform and technology and are expected to meaningfully expand growth and reinforce our path to profitability, with Adjusted EBITDA breakeven anticipated by the end of Q3 2026."

"The fourth quarter is off to a strong start, with total funded loan volume expected to reach a $500 million monthly run-rate driven by our new strategic partnerships, despite marketing to only a fraction of their customer bases during our initial soft launch. By the end of the next six months, we expect to achieve a monthly run rate of $1 billion in total funded loan volume," added Garg.

Better also announced that it is in discussions with additional potential strategic partners, which it believes further validates its strategy of delivering a best-in-class consumer and partnership experience powered by Betsy™ and Tinman®. These include potential strategic partnerships with one of the top U.S. home improvement lenders, two of the top U.S. loan servicers, one of the top U.S. personal lenders, and an additional mid-size bank, which it believes represents, in the aggregate, potential access to up to an additional ten million U.S. homeowners that the Company could market mortgage and home equity products to.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA, NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

Following are tables that present selected financial data of the Company. Also included are reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures and definitions of certain key metrics used herein.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures and Other Financial Metrics

We include certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), funded loan volume (excluding discontinued partnership) 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 and equity related liabilities, restructuring, impairment, and other 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, and other non-recurring or non-core operational expenses, as well as interest and amortization on non-funding debt (which includes interest on the Convertible Note (as defined in our Form 10-K)), depreciation and amortization expense, and income tax expense. We calculate Funded Loan Volume (excluding discontinued partnership) as Funded Loan Volume excluding volume generated from our discontinued partnership with Ally Financial Inc. 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.
