Better Mortgage Renews $175 Million Warehouse Facility on Improved Terms; Reaffirms Volume and Earnings Guidance
Better Home & Finance Holding Company (NASDAQ:BETR) ("Better.com") today announced the successful amendment and renewal of a $175 million warehouse credit facility with a leading global banking institution, further strengthening liquidity, enhancing operational flexibility, and improving financing terms.
The amended facility features reduced cash deposit requirements, expanded leverage capacity, and higher advance rates on certain non-GSE loans, materially reducing ongoing equity capital requirements.
In addition, Better.com reaffirmed its previously disclosed guidance, given in November 2025, that monthly origination volumes are expected to exceed $1 billion by May 2026, representing an increase of more than 100% compared to the Company's average monthly origination volume of approximately $400 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company also reaffirmed its expectation of achieving adjusted EBITDA profitability by the end of the third quarter of 2026.
"We are grateful for the continued support of our warehouse lenders as we accelerate our business evolution through the deployment of Tinman AI across the mortgage ecosystem," said Rob Wilson, Treasurer. "These enhancements materially improve equity capital efficiency by significantly reducing the required amount of equity capital for the facility. We expect this to be the first of multiple initiatives to expand warehouse capacity in a more capital-light manner, reflecting warehouse lender confidence in our underwriting discipline and the strength of the Tinman AI platform."
"In less than three months since launch, our new partnership channels are already generating top of funnel lead flow in their respective product areas at levels comparable to our more than ten-year-old direct-to-consumer channel," said Vishal Garg, Founder and CEO. "We remain focused on delivering an exceptional customer experience as we continue to evolve the business, driven by the rapid adoption of our Tinman AI platform through strategic partnerships."
