Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
- Generated total revenue, net of $1.3 billion and GAAP net income of $178 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. Generated total adjusted revenue of $1.2 billion and adjusted net income of $121 million, or adjusted earnings of $0.06 per diluted share.
- Rocket Mortgage generated $24.7 billion in closed loan origination volume, a 10.4% increase over the same period of the prior year.
- Gain on sale margin was 2.99%, an increase of 32 bps over the same period of the prior year.
- Total liquidity was $8.6 billion, as of June 30, 2024, which includes $1.3 billion of cash on the balance sheet, and $1.9 billion of corporate cash used to self-fund loan originations, $3.4 billion of undrawn lines of credit, and $2.0 billion of undrawn MSR lines of credit.
- Servicing portfolio unpaid principal balance, which includes subserviced loans, was $534.6 billion or 2.6 million loans serviced as of June 30, 2024. The portfolio generates approximately $1.4 billion of recurring servicing fee income on an annualized basis. We acquired mortgage servicing right ("MSR") portfolios in the quarter, for total consideration of $315 million. The MSR acquisitions added $20.8 billion of unpaid principal balance of loans with a blended weighted average coupon higher than our current portfolio, providing a compelling refinance opportunity when rates decline.
Second Quarter 2024 Company Highlights
- We expanded purchase share year-over-year through numerous optimizations in our processes, teams, marketing, and technology capabilities.
- Rocket Mortgage was named #1 in the nation in J.D. Power's 2024 study for client satisfaction in mortgage servicing, the 10th year Rocket Mortgage has earned the accolade. J.D. Power surveyed more than 11,000 American homeowners to determine the rankings. J.D. Power has ranked Rocket Mortgage #1 in client satisfaction for primary mortgage origination and mortgage servicing a total of 22 times – the most of any mortgage lender.
- Our home equity loan product continues to resonate strongly with clients, offering a compelling solution to tap into home equity without impacting the lower rate on a client's first lien mortgage. In Q2 2024, home equity loan volume more than doubled compared to the same period last year, setting a new record. During the quarter, we enhanced the speed and efficiency of our home equity loan process through the launch of an Automated Valuation Model (AVM). AVM represents a major upgrade, providing a cost-efficient digital alternative to traditional in-person appraisals. This innovation allows us to deliver cash from home equity loans in as little as 7 business days, meeting our clients' needs with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
- We expanded our AI-powered live chat, the preferred asynchronous mode of communication for both new and older generations, across the client journey. With chat, we quickly and accurately gauge client intent upfront, and provide personalized solutions at scale. This has resulted in higher satisfaction for both clients and team members, as well as significantly higher conversion rates. Recent data shows that clients using chat have conversion rates three times higher compared to those who didn't leverage chat.
- We expanded the roll out of Rocket Logic Assistant, our AI-powered personal assistant, to our entire banking team. Rocket Logic Assistant transcribes client calls and automatically completes mortgage applications in real-time, super-charging our bankers' productivity and reducing fatigue. Rocket Logic Assistant seamlessly generates more than 300,000 detailed transcripts weekly from outbound calls.
- In June, we launched MSR audit automation, an upgraded workflow system that streamlines the loan onboarding process and drives efficiency at scale. With this new system, our capital markets team can now complete MSR audits in half the time. This enhancement allows us to onboard MSR portfolios more quickly, efficiently, and accurately, which is essential as we expand our portfolio.
- In May, Rocket Companies appointed Shawn Malhotra as its first Chief Technology Officer. In this role, Malhotra will oversee the development and implementation of technology across the entire Rocket Companies ecosystem, including AI development, Data Science, Product Engineering, Technology Operations and Information Security – among other areas. Previously, Malhotra held a variety of technology leadership roles at Thomson Reuters.
- We will hold our first Investor Day on September 10, 2024, in downtown Detroit. The event will feature presentations and engagement opportunities with Rocket Companies' leadership, immersive demo experiences, and a tour of downtown Detroit and our Company. The event will be held in person, and a webcast will be available on our Investor Relations website.
Rocket Corporate Responsibility: For-More-Than-Profit
- In June, we published our 2023 ESG report, which highlights Rocket's commitment to being a For-More-Than-Profit organization and our commitment to our clients, communities and team members. The report can be found on the Social Impact tab of our Investor Relations website.
- Rocket Mortgage held its sixth annual Rocket Mortgage Classic event from June 25 to June 30, 2024 at the Detroit Golf Club. Since 2019, the Rocket Mortgage Classic has raised over $8.4 million for local charitable organizations, including $4.3 million for the "Changing the Course" initiative to connect Detroit residents to high-speed internet, digital devices and digital literacy training.
- Rocket Community Fund, a partner company, announced a $320,000 investment in Black Tech Saturdays, an organization that aims to promote diversity and inclusion in the tech industry through workshops, training programs and community outreach in Detroit. In June, Rocket Community Fund collaborated with Microsoft, Black Tech Saturdays and Sistah's Reachin' Out to host AI Explained, an event focused on raising awareness of generative AI and its benefits for nonprofits and small business owners.
- Rocket Community Fund, National Black Empowerment Council (NBEC), and Goodwill of North Georgia today announced the launch of the Homeownership Wealth Initiative, a pilot program offering comprehensive financial education and homeownership guidance for Atlanta residents.
Third Quarter 2024 Outlook2
In Q3 2024, we expect adjusted revenue between $1.15 billion to $1.3 billion.

Direct to Consumer
In the Direct to Consumer segment, clients have the ability to interact with the Rocket Mortgage app 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 insurance, appraisals and settlement services 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.

Partner Network
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 TPO ("third party origination"). 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, and other expenses, such as direct servicing costs and origination costs. A loan is considered "sold" when it is sold to investors on the secondary market. See "Summary Segment Results" section later in this document and the footnote on "Segments" 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 (loss), Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively "our non-GAAP financial measures") as non-GAAP measures. 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 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 (loss)" 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 and the tax effects of those adjustments as applicable. We define "Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share" as Adjusted net income (loss) 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, income tax, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, and change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions, net of hedges.
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 assumptions including discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, which is 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 income (loss) attributable to Rocket Companies or Net income (loss). 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.
