UWM HOLDINGS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
UWM Holdings Corporation, through its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), engages in the origination, sale and servicing of residential mortgage loans. The Company is organized in Delaware but is based in Michigan, and originates and services loans throughout the U.S. The Company is approved as a Title II, non-supervised direct endorsement mortgagee with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (or “HUD”). In addition, the Company is an approved issuer with the Government National Mortgage Association (or “Ginnie Mae”), as well as an approved seller and servicer with the Federal National Mortgage Association (or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (or “Freddie Mac”).
The Company (f/k/a Gores Holdings IV, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware on June 12, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On September 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, SFS Holding Corp., a Michigan corporation (“SFS Corp.”), United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“UWM”), and UWM Holdings, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings LLC” and, together with UWM, the “UWM Entities”). The business combination with the UWM Entities closed on January 21, 2021.
Prior to the closing of the business combination with the UWM Entities, SFS Corp. was the sole member of UWM, which had one unit authorized, issued and outstanding. On January 21, 2021, SFS Corp. contributed its equity interest in UWM to Holdings LLC and adopted the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement to admit Holdings LLC as UWM's sole member and its manager. Upon completion of the business combination transaction, (i) Holdings LLC issued approximately 6% of its units (Class A Common Units) to the Company, (ii) SFS Corp. retained approximately 94% of the units (Class B Common Units) in Holdings LLC and accordingly retained approximately 94% of the economic ownership interest of the combined company and (iii) Holdings LLC became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, as the Company is the sole managing member of Holdings LLC. The economic interest in Holdings LLC owned by SFS Corp. is presented as a non-controlling interest in these condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 11 - Non-Controlling Interests for further information.
Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which UWM (the operating subsidiary) is held directly by Holdings LLC, and the Company’s only material direct asset consists of Class A Common Units in Holdings LLC. The Company’s current capital structure authorizes Class A common stock, Class B common stock, Class C common stock and Class D common stock. The Class A common stock and Class C common stock each provide holders with one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, and the Class B common stock and Class D common stock each provide holders with 10 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Class C common stock and Class D common stock do not have any of the economic rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon liquidation) provided to holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Each Holdings LLC Class B Common Unit, along with its stapled share of Class D common stock (each a, “Paired Interest"), held by SFS Corp. may be exchanged at any time by SFS Corp. into, at the option of the Company, either, (a) cash or (b) one share of the Company’s Class B common stock (an "Exchange Transaction"). Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock upon the transfer or assignment of such share from SFS Corp. to a non-affiliated third-party. See Note 11 - Non-Controlling Interests for further information.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, SFS Corp. is entitled to receive earn-out shares, in the form of Paired Interests, to the extent that the volume weighted average per share price of the Company's Class A common stock over any 10 trading days within any 30 trading day period is greater than or equal to $13.00, $15.00, $17.00 and $19.00 per share. Upon achievement of each stock price target, SFS Corp. will be entitled to receive 22,690,421 Paired Interests. The Company accounts for the potential earn-out shares as a component of stockholders’ equity in accordance with the applicable guidance in U.S. GAAP. See Note 17 - Earnings Per Share for further information.
Upon completion of the business combination transaction, the directors and officers of Gores Holdings IV, Inc. (the “Gores Directors and Officers”) resigned, the Company appointed new directors to its Board, and certain officers of UWM became officers of the Company. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company has potential indemnification obligations to the Gores Directors and Officers for costs or losses incurred prior to or after the closing of the business combination transaction that arose by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of Gores Holdings IV, Inc.
The Gores Directors and Officers were named as defendants in class action suits in Delaware Chancery Court in which it is alleged that they breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders of Gores Holdings, IV. Pursuant to its obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, to the extent that it is determined that the Gores Directors and Officers are entitled to indemnification, the Company is obligated to indemnify them in connection with these lawsuits. During the second quarter of 2024, the parties tentatively agreed to settle this litigation, subject to negotiation of a final settlement agreement and court approval. A significant portion of the Company's expected indemnification obligations for the settlement is covered by insurance, and the remainder is not expected to be material to the Company.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and presented in U.S. dollars. They have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. However, our results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or for any other future period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Loans Eligible for Repurchase from Ginnie Mae
For certain loans sold to Ginnie Mae, the Company as the servicer has the unilateral right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae pool if that loan meets defined criteria (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due). When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase the delinquent loans, the previously sold assets are required to be re-recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as assets and corresponding liabilities at the loan's unpaid principal balance, regardless of the Company’s intent to exercise its option to repurchase. The recognition of previously sold loans does not impact the accounting for the previously recognized mortgage servicing rights (or "MSRs").
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes during interim periods by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings (loss) before income taxes to compute the year-to-date tax expense (or benefit). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. In any period in which the Company acquires additional units of Holdings LLC by means of an Exchange Transaction, the Company records the related income tax effects as an adjustment to equity. See Note 15 – Income Taxes for further information.
Tax Receivable Agreement
The Company has entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") with SFS Corp. that obligates the Company to make payments to SFS Corp. of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis resulting from Exchange Transactions; (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of payments it makes under the TRA; (iii) certain increases in tax basis resulting from payments the Company makes under the TRA; and (iv) disproportionate allocations (if any) of tax benefits to the Company which arise from, among other things, the sale of certain assets as a result of taxable income allocation rules in the United States. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these tax savings.
The Company accounts for liabilities arising from the TRA as a loss contingency recorded within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other." Changes in the liability, other than those due to Exchange Transactions, are measured and recorded when estimated amounts due under the TRA are probable and can be reasonably estimated, and reported as part of "Other expense/(income)" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In any period in which the Company acquires additional units of Holdings LLC by means of an Exchange Transaction, the Company records the related adjustment to the TRA liability as an adjustment to equity. See Note 9 - Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other for further information.
Related Party Transactions
The Company enters into various transactions with related parties. See Note 14 – Related Party Transactions for further information.
Public and Private Warrants
As part of Gores Holdings IV, Inc.'s initial public offering ("IPO") in January 2020, Gores Holdings IV, Inc. issued to third party investors 42.5 million units, consisting of one share of Class A common stock of Gores Holdings IV, Inc. and one-fourth of one warrant, at a price of $10.00 per unit. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Gores Holdings IV, Inc. completed the private sale of 5.25 million warrants to Gores Holdings IV, Inc.'s sponsor at a purchase price of $2.00 per warrant (the “Private Warrants”). Each Private Warrant allows the sponsor to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. Upon the closing of the business combination transaction, the Company had 10,624,987 Public Warrants and 5,250,000 Private Warrants outstanding.
The Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of the business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
The Company evaluated the relevant terms of the warrants under applicable U.S. GAAP and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Since the Public and Private Warrants meet the definition of derivatives, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value upon the closing of the business combination transaction and subsequently measures the warrants at fair value (recorded within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other"), with the change in their respective fair values recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations (recorded within "Other expense/(income)").
Stock-Based Compensation
Effective upon the closing of the business combination transaction, the Company adopted the UWM Holdings Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) which was approved by stockholders on January 20, 2021. The 2020 Plan allows for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and stock appreciation rights. Pursuant to the 2020 Plan, the Company reserved a total of 80,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance of stock-based compensation awards, and 56,827,376 shares remained available for issuance under the 2020 Plan as of September 30, 2024. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and is included in "Salaries, commissions and benefits" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company made a policy election to recognize the effects of forfeitures as they occur. See Note 16 – Stock-based Compensation for further information.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-1, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which amends certain provisions of ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance requires all lessees in a lease with a lessor under common control to amortize leasehold improvements over the useful life of the common control group and provides new guidance for recognizing a transfer of assets between entities under common control as an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. There was no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard effective the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024.
Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-7, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt ASU 2023-7 beginning with its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-9, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made
available for issuance. The Company will include the required disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements once adopted.
NOTE 2 – MORTGAGE LOANS AT FAIR VALUE
The table below includes the estimated fair value and unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of mortgage loans that have contractual principal amounts and for which the Company has elected the fair value option. The fair value option has been elected for mortgage loans, as this accounting treatment best reflects the economic consequences of the Company’s mortgage origination and related hedging and risk management activities. The difference between the UPB and estimated fair value is made up of the premiums paid on mortgage loans, as well as the fair value adjustment as of the balance sheet date. The change in fair value adjustment is recorded in the “Loan production income” line item of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 3 – DERIVATIVES
The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) to originate residential mortgage loans at specified interest rates and terms within a specified period of time with customers who have applied for a loan and may meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. To determine the fair value of the IRLCs, each contract is evaluated based upon its stage in the application, approval and origination process for its likelihood of consummating the transaction (or “pullthrough”). Pullthrough is estimated based on changes in market conditions, loan stage, and actual borrower behavior using a historical analysis of IRLC closing rates. Generally, the further into the process the more likely that the IRLC will convert to a loan. The blended average pullthrough rate was 78% and 76% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company primarily uses forward loan sale commitments (“FLSCs”) to economically hedge its pipeline of IRLCs and mortgage loans at fair value. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into interest rate swap futures as part of its overall interest rate mitigation strategy. These other derivative financial instruments are measured at estimated fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within "Gain on other interest rate derivatives."
The notional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(a)Notional amounts have been adjusted for pullthrough rates of 78% and 76% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of accounts receivable balances with delinquent receivables being written-off based on specific credit evaluations and circumstances of the debtor.
NOTE 5 – MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
Mortgage servicing rights are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets when loans are sold and the associated servicing rights are retained. The Company's MSRs are measured at fair value, which is determined using a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows. The model includes estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, float earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and ancillary income and late fees, among others. These estimates are supported by market and economic data collected from various external sources.
The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others approximated $212.2 billion and $299.5 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company have previously been sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on a non-recourse basis, whereby credit losses are generally the responsibility of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and not the Company. Loans serviced for Ginnie Mae are insured by the FHA, guaranteed by the VA, or insured by other applicable government programs. While the above guarantees and insurance are the responsibility of those parties, the Company is still subject to potential losses related to its servicing of these loans. Those estimated losses are incorporated into the valuation of MSRs.
The following table summarizes changes in the MSR assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold MSRs on loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $7.4 billion and $37.5 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $68.4 million and $496.3 million, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold excess servicing cash flows on certain agency loans with a total UPB of approximately $15.4 billion and $14.7 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $118.4 million and $123.2 million, respectively. In connection with these sales, the Company recorded $20.8 million and $15.3 million, respectively, for its estimated obligation for protection provisions granted to the buyers and transaction costs, which is reflected as part of the change in fair value of MSRs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold MSRs on loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $160.9 billion and $99.2 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $2.3 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold excess servicing cash flows on certain agency loans with a total UPB of approximately $42.7 billion and $78.1 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $333.8 million and $428.7 million, respectively. In connection with these sales, the Company recorded $65.2 million and $36.9 million, respectively, for its estimated obligation for protection provisions granted to the buyers and transaction costs, which is reflected as part of the change in fair value of MSRs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table summarizes the loan servicing income recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (in thousands): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the three months ended September 30, | | For the nine months ended September 30, |

Loan servicing income | $ | 134,753 | | | $ | 200,428 | | | $ | 463,365 | | | $ | 612,205 | | | |
The key unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s MSRs were as follows at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| Range | | Weighted Average | | Range | | Weighted Average |
Discount rates | 9.5 | % | — | 16.0 | % | | 11.0 | % | | 10.0 | % | — | 16.0 | % | | 11.1 | % |
Annual prepayment speeds | 4.5 | % | — | 23.3 | % | | 9.8 | % | | 5.3 | % | — | 21.9 | % | | 9.6 | % |
Cost of servicing | $74 | | — | $119 | | | $83 | | | $74 | | — | $111 | | | $84 | |
The hypothetical effect of adverse changes in these key assumptions would result in a decrease in fair values as follows at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Discount rate: | | | |
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value | $ | (113,254) | | | $ | (140,727) | |
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value | (217,288) | | | (269,702) | |
Prepayment speeds: | | | |
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value | $ | (105,866) | | | $ | (124,651) | |
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value | (203,720) | | | (240,082) | |
Cost of servicing: | | | |
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value | $ | (26,082) | | | $ | (31,869) | |
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value | (52,164) | | | (63,738) | |
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the table demonstrates, the Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. For example, actual prepayment experience may differ, and any difference may have a material effect on MSR fair value. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in the table above, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption of the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may be associated with changes in another (for example, decreases in market interest rates may indicate higher prepayments; however, this may be partially offset by lower prepayments due to other factors such as a borrower’s diminished opportunity to refinance, or lower discount rates as investors may accept lower returns in a lower interest rate environment), which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Thus, any measurement of MSR fair value is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made as of a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different point in time.
NOTE 6 – WAREHOUSE AND OTHER SECURED LINES OF CREDIT
Warehouse Lines of Credit
The Company had the following warehouse lines of credit with financial institutions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, (in thousands):

5 Interest rates under these funding facilities are based on a reference interest rate benchmark plus a spread, which ranged from 1.35% to 1.95% for substantially all of our loan production volume as of September 30, 2024.
We are an approved lender for loan early funding facilities with Fannie Mae through its As Soon As Pooled Plus (“ASAP+”) program and Freddie Mac through its Early Funding (“EF”) program. As an approved lender for these early funding programs, we enter into an agreement to deliver closed and funded one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, each secured by related mortgages and deeds of trust, and receive funding in exchange for such mortgage loans in some cases before we have grouped them into pools to be securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. All such mortgage loans must adhere to a set of eligibility criteria to be acceptable. As of September 30, 2024, no amount was outstanding through the ASAP+ program and $105.0 million was outstanding through the EF program.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had pledged mortgage loans at fair value as collateral under the above warehouse lines of credit. The above agreements also contain covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity, maximum debt to net worth ratio, and net income, as defined in the agreements. The Company was in compliance with all of these covenants as of September 30, 2024.
MSR Facilities
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, N.A., providing UWM with up to $1.5 billion of uncommitted borrowing capacity to finance the origination, acquisition or holding of certain mortgage servicing rights (the “MSR Facility”). The MSR Facility is collateralized by all of UWM's mortgage servicing rights that are appurtenant to mortgage loans pooled in securitization by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that meet certain criteria. Available borrowings under the MSR Facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral. Borrowings under the MSR Facility bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. The MSR Facility
contains covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity, maximum debt to net worth ratio, and net income as defined in the agreement.
On June 27, 2024, UWM and Citibank, N.A. amended both the Loan and Security Agreement and the warehouse facility agreement between the parties. These amendments increased the combined total uncommitted borrowing capacity of the MSR Facility and the warehouse facility to $2.0 billion and extended the maturity dates to June 26, 2026. All other material terms of these agreements remained the same. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $150.0 million and $500.0 million was outstanding under the MSR Facility, respectively.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, providing UWM with up to $500.0 million of uncommitted borrowing capacity to finance the origination, acquisition or holding of certain mortgage servicing rights (the "GNMA MSR facility"). The GNMA MSR facility is collateralized by all of UWM's mortgage servicing rights that are appurtenant to mortgage loans pooled in securitization by Ginnie Mae that meet certain criteria. Available borrowings under the GNMA MSR facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral. Borrowings under the GNMA MSR facility bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. The GNMA MSR Facility contains covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity, maximum debt to net worth ratio, and net income as defined in the agreement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. The draw period for the GNMA MSR facility ends on March 20, 2026, and the facility has a maturity date of March 20, 2027. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $150.0 million and $250.0 million was outstanding under the GNMA MSR facility, respectively.
The weighted average interest rate charged for borrowings under our MSR facilities was 8.14% and 9.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 8.92% and 8.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Outstanding borrowings under the MSR facilities are reported within the "Secured lines of credit" financial statement line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revolving Credit Facility
On August 8, 2022, UWM entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) between UWM, as the borrower, and SFS Corp., as the lender. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility had an initial one-year term and automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time, and accrue interest at the Applicable Prime Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). UWM may utilize the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with: (i) operational and investment activities, including but not limited to funding and/or advances related to (a) servicing rights, (b) ‘scratch and dent’ loans, (c) margin requirements, and (d) equity in loans held for sale; and (ii) general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain financial and operating covenants and restrictions, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, and the availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to the Company's continued compliance with these covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2024. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Representations and Warranties Reserve
Loans sold to investors, which the Company believes met investor and agency underwriting guidelines at the time of sale, may be subject to repurchase by the Company in the event of specific default by the borrower or upon subsequent discovery that underwriting or documentation standards were not explicitly satisfied. The Company may, upon mutual agreement, indemnify the investor against future losses on such loans or be subject to other guaranty requirements and subject
to loss. The Company initially records its exposure under such guarantees at estimated fair value upon the sale of the related loan, within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other" as well as within "loan production income" and continues to evaluate its on-going exposures in subsequent periods. The reserve is estimated based on the Company’s assessment of its obligations, including expected losses, expected frequency, the overall potential remaining exposure, as well as an estimate for a market participant’s potential readiness to stand by to perform on such obligations. The Company repurchased $50.1 million and $40.4 million in UPB of loans during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $185.6 million and $201.9 million in UPB of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to its representations and warranties obligations.
The activity of the representations and warranties reserve was as follows (in thousands):

Commitments to Originate Loans
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had agreed to extend credit to potential borrowers for approximately $66.4 billion. These contracts represent off-balance sheet credit risk where the Company may be required, subject to completion of underwriting, to extend credit to these borrowers based on the prevailing interest rates and prices at the time of execution. Commitments to originate loans do not necessarily reflect future cash requirements as some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon.
Legal and Regulatory Matters
The Company operates in a heavily regulated industry that is highly sensitive to consumer protection, and is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws. The Company is routinely involved in consumer complaints, regulatory actions and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. The Company is also routinely involved in state regulatory audits and examinations, and occasionally involved in other governmental proceedings arising in connection with our business activities. Based on the Company's assessment of the facts and circumstances associated with these matters, we do not believe any of the legal or regulatory matters with which the Company is currently involved, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, actual outcomes may differ from those expected and could have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period.

NOTE 10 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Upon completion of the business combination transaction described in Note 1, the Company became the managing member of Holdings LLC with 100% of the management and voting power in Holdings LLC. In its capacity as managing member, the Company has the sole authority to make decisions on behalf of Holdings LLC and bind Holdings LLC to signed agreements. Further, Holdings LLC maintains separate capital accounts for its investors as a mechanism for tracking earnings and subsequent distribution rights.
Management concluded that the Company is Holdings LLC’s primary beneficiary. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the results and operations of Holdings LLC for financial reporting purposes under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) consolidation model.
The Company's relationship with Holdings LLC results in no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Holdings LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries represent the Company's sole investment. The Company shares in the income and losses of Holdings LLC in direct proportion to the Company's ownership interest. Further, the Company has no contractual requirement to provide financial support to Holdings LLC.
The Company's financial position, performance and cash flows effectively represent those of Holdings LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
In 2021, UWM began selling some of the mortgage loans that it originates through UWM's private label securitization transactions. There have been no loan sales through UWM's private label securitization transactions since 2021. In executing these transactions, the Company sells mortgage loans to a securitization trust for cash and, in some cases, retained interests in the trust. The securitization entities are funded through the issuance of beneficial interests in the securitized assets. The beneficial interests take the form of trust certificates, some of which are sold to investors and some of which may be retained by the Company due to regulatory requirements. Retained beneficial interests consist of a 5% vertical interest in the assets of the securitization trusts, in order to comply with the risk retention requirements applicable to certain of the Company's securitization transactions. The Company has elected the fair value option for subsequently measuring the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts, and these investments are presented as “Investment securities at fair value, pledged” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Changes in the fair value of these retained beneficial interests are reported as part of "Other expense (income)" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company also retains the servicing rights on the securitized mortgage loans. The Company has accounted for these transactions as sales of financial assets.
The securitization trusts that purchase the mortgage loans from the Company and securitize those mortgage loans are VIEs, and the Company holds variable interests in certain of these entities. Because the Company does not have the obligation to absorb the VIEs’ losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these securitization trusts and is not required to consolidate these VIEs. The Company separately entered into sale and repurchase agreements for a portion of the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts, which have been accounted for as borrowings against investment securities. As of September 30, 2024, $106.6 million of the $109.0 million of investment securities at fair value have been pledged as collateral for these borrowings against investment securities. The outstanding principal balance of these borrowings was approximately $93.7 million with remaining maturities ranging from approximately one to three months as of September 30, 2024, and interest rates based on SOFR plus a spread. The Company's maximum exposure to loss in these non-consolidated VIEs is limited to the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts.
NOTE 11 – NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
The non-controlling interest balance represents the economic interest in Holdings LLC held by SFS Corp. The following table summarizes the ownership of units in Holdings LLC as of:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
| Common Units | | Ownership Percentage | | Common Units | | Ownership Percentage |
UWM Holdings Corporation ownership of Class A Common Units | 113,150,968 | | | 7.08 | % | | 93,654,269 | | | 5.87 | % |
SFS Corp. ownership of Class B Common Units | 1,485,027,775 | | | 92.92 | % | | 1,502,069,787 | | | 94.13 | % |
Balance at end of period | 1,598,178,743 | | | 100.00 | % | | 1,595,724,056 | | | 100.0 | % |
The non-controlling interest holder has the right to exchange its Paired Interests for, at the Company's option, (i) shares of the Company's Class B common stock or (ii) cash from a substantially concurrent public offering or private sale of the Company's Class A common stock (based on the price of the Company's Class A common stock in such offering). As such,
future exchanges of Paired Interests by the non-controlling interest holder will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in-capital or retained earnings when Holdings LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 2,454,687 shares of Class A common stock, net of withholdings, which primarily related to the vesting of RSUs under its stock-based compensation plan. In addition, as a result of Exchange Transactions, the Company issued 17,042,012 shares of Class B common stock, all of which were immediately converted into shares of Class A common stock. These transactions resulted in an equivalent increase in the number of Class A Common Units of Holdings LLC held by the Company, and a re-measurement of the non-controlling interest in Holdings LLC due to the change in relative ownership of Holdings LLC with no change in control. The impact of the re-measurement of the non-controlling interest is reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity. Refer to Note 15 - Income Taxes for further information on tax impact of the Exchange Transactions.
NOTE 12 – REGULATORY NET WORTH REQUIREMENTS
Certain secondary market agencies and state regulators require UWM to maintain minimum net worth, capital, and liquidity requirements to remain in good standing with the agencies. Noncompliance with an agency’s requirements can result in such agency taking various remedial actions up to and including terminating UWM’s ability to sell loans to and service loans on behalf of the respective agency.
UWM is required to maintain certain minimum net worth, minimum liquidity, and minimum capital ratio requirements, including those established by USDA, HUD, Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. As of September 30, 2024, the most restrictive of these requirements require UWM to maintain a minimum net worth of $641.7 million, minimum liquidity of $322.6 million, and a minimum capital ratio of 6%. As of September 30, 2024, UWM was in compliance with these net worth, capital ratio, and liquidity requirements.
NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined under U.S. GAAP as the price that would be received if an asset were sold or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. Required disclosures include classification of fair value measurements within a three-level hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3). Classification of a fair value measurement within the hierarchy is dependent on the classification and significance of the inputs used to determine the fair value measurement. Observable inputs are those that are observed, implied from, or corroborated with externally available market information. Unobservable inputs represent the Company’s estimates of market participants’ assumptions.
Fair value measurements are classified in the following manner:
Level 1—Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2—Valuation is based on either observable prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, observable prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are derived directly from, or through correlation to, observable market data at the measurement date.
Level 3—Valuation is based on the Company’s or others’ models using significant unobservable assumptions at the measurement date that a market participant would use.
In determining fair value measurements, the Company uses observable inputs whenever possible. The level of a fair value measurement within the hierarchy is dependent on the lowest level of input that has a significant impact on the measurement as a whole. If quoted market prices are available at the measurement date or are available for similar instruments, such prices are used in the measurements. If observable market data is not available at the measurement date, judgement is required to measure fair value.
The following is a description of measurement techniques for items recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no material items recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
Mortgage loans at fair value: The Company has elected the fair value option for mortgage loans. The fair values of mortgage loans are based on valuation models that use the market price for similar loans sold in the secondary market. As these prices are derived from market observable inputs, they are categorized as Level 2.
IRLCs: The Company's interest rate lock commitments are derivative instruments that are recorded at fair value based on valuation models that use the market price for similar loans sold in the secondary market. The IRLCs are then subject to an
estimated loan funding probability, or “pullthrough rate.” Given the significant and unobservable nature of the pullthrough rate assumption, IRLC fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.
FLSCs: The Company enters into forward loan sales commitments to sell certain mortgage loans which are recorded at fair value based on valuation models. The Company’s expectation of the amount of its interest rate lock commitments that will ultimately close is a factor in determining the position. The valuation models utilize the fair value of related mortgage loans determined using observable market data, and therefore, the fair value measurements of these commitments are categorized as Level 2.
Interest rate swap futures: The Company has entered into interest rate swap futures as part of its overall interest rate mitigation strategy. These financial instruments are valued based on quoted prices in an active market and are therefore categorized as Level 1.
Investment securities at fair value, pledged: The Company has previously sold mortgage loans that it originates through the UWM's private label securitization transactions. In executing these securitizations, the Company sells mortgage loans to a securitization trust for cash and, in some cases, retained interests in the trust. The Company has elected the fair value option for subsequently measuring the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts. The fair value of these investment securities is primarily based on observable market data and therefore categorized as Level 2.
MSRs: The fair value of MSRs is determined using a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows. The model includes estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, float earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and ancillary income and late fees, among others. These estimates are supported by market and economic data collected from various outside sources. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.
Public and Private Warrants: The fair value of Public Warrants is based on quoted prices in active markets and therefore categorized as Level 1. The fair value of the Private Warrants is based on observable market data and therefore categorized as Level 2.

Refer to Note 5 - Mortgage Servicing Rights for further information on the unobservable inputs used in measuring the fair value of the Company’s MSRs and for the roll-forward of MSRs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Level 3 Issuances and Transfers
The Company enters into IRLCs which are considered derivatives. If the contract converts to a loan, the implied value, which is solely based upon interest rate changes, is incorporated in the basis of the fair value of the loan. If the IRLC does not convert to a loan, the basis is reduced to zero as the contract has no continuing value. The Company does not track the basis of the individual IRLCs that convert to a loan, as that amount has no relevance to the presented condensed consolidated financial statements.

Due to their nature and respective terms (including the variable interest rates on warehouse and other lines of credit and borrowings against investment securities), the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, borrowings against investment securities and warehouse and other lines of credit approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
NOTE 14 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the normal course of business, the Company engages in the following significant related party transactions:
•The Company’s corporate campus is located in buildings and on land that are owned by entities controlled by the Company’s founder (who is a current member of the Board of Directors) and its CEO and leased by the Company from these entities. The Company also makes leasehold improvements to these properties for the benefit of the Company, for which the Company is responsible pursuant to the terms of the lease agreements;
•Legal services are provided to the Company by a law firm in which the Company’s founder is a partner;

•Employee lease agreements, pursuant to which the Company’s team members provide certain administrative services to entities controlled by the Company’s founder and its CEO in exchange for fees paid by these entities to the Company.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company made net payments of approximately $5.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, to various companies related through common ownership. Such related party payments were comprised of, (i) with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2024, approximately $5.1 million in rent and other occupancy related fees and $0.2 million in legal fees and (ii) with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $4.9 million in rent and other occupancy related fees and $0.2 million in legal fees. The Company made no payments to unrelated third parties for pilots and ancillary services related to usage of the aircraft for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and payments of $0.1 million to unrelated third parties for pilots and ancillary services related to usage of the aircraft for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company made net payments of approximately $15.2 million and $15.8 million, respectively, to various companies related through common ownership. Such related party payments were comprised of, (i) with respect to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, approximately $14.5 million in rent and other occupancy related fees, $0.5 million in legal fees, and $0.2 million in other general and administrative expenses and (ii) with respect to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $15.1 million in rent and other occupancy related fees, $0.5 million in legal fees and $0.2 million in other general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company made payments of $0.2 million to unrelated third parties for pilots and ancillary services related to usage of the aircraft for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
UWM entered into a $500.0 million unsecured Revolving Credit Facility with SFS Corp. as the lender during the third quarter of 2022. Refer to Note 7 - Other borrowings for further details.
NOTE 15 – INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was 1.07% and 0.24% respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was 1.66% and 0.24% respectively. The variations between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate are primarily due to the portion (approximately 93% as of September 30, 2024 and 94% as of September 30, 2023) of the Company’s earnings attributable to non-controlling interests.
The Company’s acquisition of additional units of Holdings LLC by means of an Exchange Transaction is expected to produce, and has produced, net favorable tax effects. Each Exchange Transaction results in the Company acquiring an incremental ownership percentage of the net assets of Holdings LLC along with the temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as additional tax basis in such net assets arising from the income tax treatment of each Exchange Transaction. This additional tax basis may reduce the amounts that the Company would otherwise be required to pay to federal, state, or local tax authorities in the future. To the extent that the Company’s future tax obligations are reduced, the Company will be obligated to make payments under the TRA, as discussed in Note 1 - Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. The amount of the TRA liability, as well as the timing of payments related to the TRA liability, is an estimate and is subject to significant assumptions regarding the amount and timing of future taxable income.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as a result of Exchange Transactions, the Company acquired 17,042,012 units in Holdings LLC for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, all of which was immediately converted into shares of Class A common stock. This resulted in a net decrease in the Company’s deferred tax liability related to its investment in Holdings LLC in the amount of $13.6 million, and an increase in the TRA liability in the amount of $17.1 million. The offsetting amount was recorded as an adjustment to equity. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, no Exchange Transactions took place.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $5.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $15.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there was $115.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.2 years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company granted 13.6 million RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.14, and vesting terms ranging from immediate to seven years from the grant date.
NOTE 17 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company has two classes of economic shares authorized - Class A and Class B common stock. The Company applies the two-class method for calculating earnings per share for Class A common stock and Class B common stock. In applying the two-class method, the Company allocates undistributed earnings equally on a per share basis between Class A and Class B common stock. According to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the holders of the Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to participate in earnings equally on a per-share basis, as if all shares of common stock were of a single class, and in such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors. RSUs awarded as part of the Company’s stock compensation plan are included in weighted-average Class A shares outstanding in the calculation of basic earnings per share once the RSUs are vested and shares are issued.
Basic earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to UWM Holdings Corporation by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, respectively, outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. See Note 11, Non-Controlling Interests for a description of the Paired Interests. Refer to Note 1 - Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for additional information related to the Company's capital structure.
There was no Class B common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, it was assumed that the outstanding shares of Class D common stock were exchanged for Class B common stock and converted to Class A common stock under the if-converted method, and it was determined that the conversion would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Under the if-converted method, all of the Company's net income (loss) for the applicable periods is attributable to Class A common shareholders. The net income (loss) of the Company under the if-converted method is calculated including an estimated income tax provision which is determined using a blended statutory effective tax rate.
The Public and Private Warrants were not in the money and the triggering events for the issuance of earn-out shares were not met during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Therefore, these potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Unvested RSUs have been considered in the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 using the treasury stock method and the impact was either anti-dilutive or immaterial.
NOTE 18 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share on the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on January 9, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 19, 2024. Additionally, the Board approved a proportional distribution to SFS Corp. of $144.0 million which is payable on or around January 9, 2025.
Subsequent to September 30, 2024, as a result of Exchange Transactions, the Company acquired 44,695,677 units in Holdings LLC for an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, all of which was immediately converted into shares of Class A common stock.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” in this report and in Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, when used in this Form 10-Q, the term “UWM” means United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC and “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to UWM Holdings Corporation and our subsidiaries.
Business Overview
We are the largest overall residential mortgage lender in the U.S., by closed loan volume, despite originating mortgage loans exclusively through the wholesale channel. For the last nine years, including the year ended December 31, 2023 we have also been the largest wholesale mortgage lender in the U.S. by closed loan volume. With a culture of continuous innovation of technology and enhanced client experience, we lead our market by building upon our proprietary and exclusively licensed technology platforms, superior service and focused partnership with the independent mortgage broker community. We originate primarily conforming and government loans across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Our mortgage origination business derives revenue from originating, processing and underwriting primarily government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE") conforming mortgage loans, along with FHA, USDA and VA mortgage loans, which are subsequently pooled and sold in the secondary market. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 91% and 88%, respectively, of the loans we originated were sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or were transferred to Ginnie Mae pools in the secondary market, while the remainder were primarily jumbo loans that are underwritten to the same “Qualified Mortgage" underwriting standards and have a similar risk profile but are sold to third party investors primarily due to loan size. The mortgage origination process generally begins with a borrower entering into an IRLC with us that is arranged by an independent mortgage broker, pursuant to which we have committed to enter into a mortgage at specified interest rates and terms within a specified period of time with a borrower who has applied for a loan and met certain credit and underwriting criteria. As we have committed to providing a mortgage loan at a specific interest rate, we generally hedge that risk by selling forward-settling mortgage-backed securities and FLSCs in the To Be Announced ("TBA") market. When the mortgage loan is closed, we fund the loan with approximately 2-3%, on average, of our own funds and the remainder with funds drawn under one of our warehouse facilities (except when we opt to "self-warehouse" in which case we use our cash to fund the entire loan). At that point, the mortgage loan is legally owned by our warehouse facility lender and is subject to our repurchase right (other than when we self-warehouse). When we have identified a pool of mortgage loans to sell to the agencies, non-governmental entities, other investors, or through our private label securitization transactions, we repurchase loans not already owned by us from our warehouse lender and sell the pool of mortgage loans into the secondary market, but in most instances retain the mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs, associated with those loans. We currently retain the majority of the MSRs associated with our production, but we have, and intend to continue to opportunistically sell MSRs depending on market conditions. This nimble approach has provided us funding flexibility, and reduced legacy MSR asset exposure. When we sell MSRs, we typically sell them in the bulk MSR secondary market.
Our unique model, focusing exclusively on the wholesale channel, results in what we believe to be complete alignment with our clients and superior customer service arising from our investments in people and technology that has driven demand for our services from our clients.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective
See Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Components of Revenue
We generate revenue from the following three components of the loan origination business: (i) loan production income, (ii) loan servicing income, and (iii) interest income.
Loan production income. Loan production income includes all components related to the origination and sale of mortgage loans, including:
• primary gain (loss), which includes the following:
◦the difference between the estimated fair value or sale price of newly originated loans when sold in the secondary market and the purchase price of such originated loans. The purchase price of originated loans includes the loan principal amount, as well as any compensation paid by us to our clients (i.e., the Independent Mortgage Brokers) and any lender credits provided by us to borrowers, offset by discount points (if any) paid by borrowers to us to reduce their interest rate. Primary gain (loss) also includes changes in the estimated fair value of loans from the origination date to the sale date, and any difference between proceeds received upon sale (net of certain fees charged by investors) and the current fair value of a loan when sold into the secondary market. When loans are sold with servicing retained, the estimated fair value of the retained and newly originated MSRs is separately recognized apart from the loan and is moved from the "primary gain (loss)" to the "capitalization of MSRs" components of loan production income;
◦the change in fair value of IRLCs, FLSCs (used to economically hedge IRLCs and loans at fair value from the origination to the sale date) due to changes in estimated fair value, driven primarily by interest rates but also influenced by other valuation assumptions;
• loan origination and certain other fees related to the origination of a loan, which generally represent flat, per-loan fee amounts;
• provision for representation and warranty obligations, which represent the reserves initially established at the time of sale for our estimated liabilities associated with the potential repurchase or indemnity of purchasers of loans previously sold due to representation and warranty claims by investors. Included within these reserves are amounts for estimated liabilities for requirements to repay a portion of any premium received from investors on the sale of certain loans if such loans are repaid in their entirety within a specified time period after the sale of the loans; and
•capitalization of MSRs, representing the estimated fair value of newly originated MSRs when loans are sold and the associated servicing rights are retained.
Loan servicing income. Loan servicing income consists of the contractual fees earned for servicing the loans and includes ancillary revenue such as late fees and modification incentives. Loan servicing income is recorded upon collection of payments from borrowers.
Interest income. Interest income represents interest earned on mortgage loans at fair value.
Components of Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses include salaries, commissions and benefits, direct loan production costs, marketing, travel and entertainment, depreciation and amortization, servicing costs, general and administrative (including professional services, occupancy and equipment), interest expense, and other expense (income) (primarily related to the increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value of the liability for the Public and Private Warrants, the increase or decrease, respectively, in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, and the decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of retained investment securities).
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 Summary
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we originated $39.5 billion in loans, which was an increase of $9.8 billion, or 32.9%, from the $29.7 billion of originations during the three months ended September 30, 2023. We reported net income of $31.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024, which was a decrease of $269.0 million, compared to net income of $301.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $107.2 million as compared to $112.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for a detailed discussion of how we define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we originated $100.8 billion in loans, which was an increase of $16.9 billion, or 20.1%, from the $83.9 billion of originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. We reported net income of $288.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which was a decrease of $102.4 million, compared to net income of $391.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $341.8 million as compared to $378.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Refer to
the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for a detailed discussion of how we define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by U.S. GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure, which our management believes provides useful information on our performance to investors. This measure is not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and it may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense on non-funding debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation inputs or assumptions, gains or losses on other interest rate derivatives, the impact of non-cash deferred compensation expense, the change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants, the non-cash income/expense impact of the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, and the change in fair value of retained investment securities. We exclude the non-cash income/expense impact of the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, the change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants, the change in fair value of retained investment securities, and the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation inputs or assumptions as these represent non-cash, non-realized adjustments to our earnings, which is not indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of interest expense, as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Non-funding debt includes the Company's senior notes, lines of credit, borrowings against investment securities, and finance leases.
We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance, and it is one of the measures used by our management for planning and forecasting future periods. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by our management and may make it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

MSRs are an element of the total fair value of originated mortgage loans recognized as part of primary gain (loss) upon loan origination, and are separately recognized and moved between the primary gain (loss) and capitalization of MSRs components of loan production income upon sale of a loan with servicing retained. These components of total loan production income are primarily impacted by market pricing competition, loan production volume, the estimated fair value of MSRs, and the effectiveness of our pipeline hedging strategies, which can be impacted by changes in market interest rates between the lock date and the date a loan is sold into the secondary market.
The total of primary loss and capitalization of MSRs increased approximately $128.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in loan production volume of $9.8 billion, or 32.9%, from $29.7 billion to $39.5 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023 and the impacts of improved pricing.
The provision for representations and warranties obligations increased by $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due primarily to the increase in loan production volume. Loan origination fees increased by approximately $52.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due to the increase in loan production volume and increases in certain per loan origination and other fees.
The increase in production volume was primarily due to higher refinance volume as a result of lower market interest rates in the third quarter of 2024.
The total of primary loss and capitalization of MSRs increased approximately $228.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in loan production volume of $16.9 billion, or 20.1%, from $83.9 billion to $100.8 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, and the impacts of improved market pricing.
The provision for representations and warranties obligations increased by $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due to an increase in expected loss rates and the increase in loan production volume. Loan origination fees increased by approximately $129.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due to increases in loan production volume and increases in certain per loan origination and other fees.
The increase in production volume was primarily due to higher refinance volume, due to the generally lower market interest rate environment in the first nine months of 2024 as compared to 2023.

Change in Fair Value of Mortgage Servicing Rights
The change in fair value of MSRs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was a decrease of $446.1 million, as compared with an increase of $92.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in fair value of MSRs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to a decrease in fair value of approximately $263.9 million as a result of changes in valuation inputs and assumptions due to the decline in market interest rates, a decrease in fair value of approximately $161.4 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $20.8 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales and sales of excess servicing cash flows. The increase in fair value for the three months ended September 30, 2023 of approximately $92.9 million was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $236.0 million resulting from changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, mainly due to changes in market interest rates, partially offset by a decline of approximately $127.8 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $15.3 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales and sales of excess servicing cash flows.
The change in fair value of MSRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was a decrease of $604.1 million, as compared with a decrease of $219.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in fair value of MSRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to a decline in fair value of approximately $377.9 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full), a decrease in fair value of approximately $161.1 million due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions (due primarily to changes in market interest rates) and approximately $65.2 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales and sales of excess servicing cash flows. The decrease in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 of approximately $219.7 million was primarily attributable to a decline of approximately $360.5 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $36.9 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales and sales of excess servicing cash flows, partially offset by an increase of approximately $177.7 million resulting from changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, primarily due to changes in market interest rates.
Gain on Other Interest Rate Derivatives
The gains on other interest rate derivatives of $226.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $254.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were due to gains on interest rate swap futures that we entered into during the second quarter of 2024, attributable declines in market interest rates.

Total interest expense | 141,102 | | | 93,724 | | | 348,421 | | | 239,445 | | | |
Net interest income (interest income less interest expense on funding facilities) was $35.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $8.2 million, or 19%, as compared to $44.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, mainly as a result of higher interest expense on funding facilities, partially offset by an increase in interest income. Interest expense on funding facilities increased due to higher average warehouse balances and lower credits from warehouse lenders on custodial and other deposits. Interest income increased primarily as a result of higher average balances of mortgage loans at fair value due to increased loan production volume.
Interest expense on non-funding debt was $31.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease from $42.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings on the MSR facilities.
Net interest income (interest income less interest expense on funding facilities) was $123.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $23.6 million, or 16%, as compared to $147.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of higher interest expense on funding facilities, partially offset by an increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense on funding facilities increased was primarily due to higher average warehouse balances from increased loan production. The increase in interest income was due to the same reasons mentioned in the three month analysis above.
Interest expense on non-funding debt was $103.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease from $128.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to the same reasons mentioned in the three month analysis above.

Other costs were $328.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $80.0 million, or 32.3%, as compared to $248.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries, commissions and benefits of $46.1 million, or 34.1%, primarily due to an increase in average team member count as we prepare for anticipated increases in production volume, an increase in direct loan production costs of $22.2 million, primarily due to higher costs associated with our free credit report program and down payment assistance programs as well as the increased loan production volume. General and administrative expenses increased $8.8 million primarily due to an increase in computer support services and professional service fees. Marketing, travel and entertainment expenses increased $2.3 million primarily due to our continued investment in our broker relationships through broker visits and training programs.
Other costs were $880.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $188.1 million, or 27.2%, as compared to $692.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries, commissions and benefits of $108.3 million, or 27.9%, an increase in direct loan production costs of $59.0 million, an increase in general and administrative expenses of $17.3 million, as well as an increase in marketing, travel and entertainment expenses of $7.1 million. The increases were primarily due to the same reasons mentioned in the three month analysis above. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other expense (income) of $3.3 million primarily due to lower expenses associated with the change in fair value of retained investment securities, partially offset by higher expenses related to the change in fair value of Public and Private Warrants.
Income Taxes
We recorded a $0.3 million provision for income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to the decrease in pre-tax income attributable to the Company.
We recorded a $4.9 million provision for income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a provision for income taxes of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to an increase in state taxes payable in both the current and future periods.
Net income
Net income was $31.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $269.0 million or 89.4%, as compared to net income of $301.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of a decrease in total revenue, net of $150.7 million and an increase in total expenses (including income taxes) of $118.4 million, as further described above.
Net loss attributable to the Company of $6.3 million and net income attributable to the Company of $18.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, includes the net income of UWM attributable to the Company due to its approximate 7% and 6% ownership interest in Holdings LLC as September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net loss attributable to the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was also impacted by the change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants due to the change in UWMC's stock price during the quarter.
Net income was $288.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $102.4 million or 26.2%, as compared to net income of $391.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increase in total revenue, net of $177.6 million, partially offset by an increase in total expenses (including income taxes) of $280.0 million, as further described above.
Net income attributable to the Company of $5.5 million and $13.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, includes the net income (loss) of UWM attributable to the Company due to its approximate 7% and 6% ownership interest in Holdings LLC as September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have included:
•borrowings including under our warehouse facilities and other financing facilities;
•cash flow from operations and investing activities, including:
◦sale or securitization of loans into the secondary market;
◦loan origination fees and certain other fees related to the origination of a loan;
◦servicing fee income;
◦interest income on mortgage loans; and
◦sale of MSRs and excess servicing cash flows.
Historically, our primary uses of funds have included:
•origination of loans;
•retention of MSRs from our loan sales;
•payment of interest expense;
•payment of operating expenses; and
•dividends on, and repurchases of, our Class A common stock and distributions to SFS Corp., including tax distributions.
Our consolidated subsidiary, Holdings LLC, is generally required from time to time to make distributions in cash to SFS Corp. (as well as distributions to UWMC) in amounts sufficient to cover the taxes on its allocable share of the taxable income of Holdings LLC. We are also subject to contingencies which may have a significant impact on the use of our cash, including our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement that we entered into with SFS Corp. at the time of the business combination.
To originate and aggregate loans for sale or securitization into the secondary market, we use our own working capital and borrow or obtain funding on a short-term basis primarily through uncommitted and committed warehouse facilities that we have established with large global banks, regional or specialized banks and certain agencies.
We continually evaluate our capital structure and capital resources to optimize our leverage and profitability and take advantage of market opportunities. As part of such evaluation, we regularly review our levels of secured and unsecured indebtedness, available borrowing capacity and available equity, unsecured debt maturities, our strategic investments, including technology and growth of the wholesale channel, the availability or desirability of growth through the acquisition of other companies or other mortgage portfolios, the repurchase or redemption of our outstanding indebtedness, or repurchases of our common stock or common stock derivatives. Based on the upcoming maturity for our 2025 Senior Notes, we expect to
be opportunistic in evaluating the refinance market.
We currently believe that our cash on hand, as well as the sources of liquidity described above, will be sufficient to maintain our current operations and fund our loan originations capital commitments for the next twelve months.
Loan Funding Facilities
Warehouse facilities
Our warehouse facilities, which are our primary loan funding facilities used to fund the origination of our mortgage loans, are primarily in the form of master repurchase agreements. Loans financed under these facilities are generally financed, on average, at approximately 97% to 98% of the principal balance of the loan, which requires us to fund the remaining 2-3% of the unpaid principal balance from cash generated from our operations. Once closed, the underlying residential mortgage loan is pledged as collateral for the borrowing or advance that was made under these loan funding facilities. In most cases, the loans we originate will remain in one of our warehouse facilities for less than one month, until the loans are pooled and sold. During the time we hold the loans pending sale, we earn interest income from the borrower on the underlying mortgage loan note. This income is partially offset by the interest and fees we have to pay under the warehouse facilities.
When we sell or securitize a pool of loans, the proceeds we receive from the sale or securitization of the loans are used to pay back the amounts we owe on the warehouse facilities. The remaining funds received then become available to be re-advanced to originate additional loans. We are dependent on the cash generated from the sale or securitization of loans to fund future loans and repay borrowings under our warehouse facilities. Delays or failures to sell or securitize loans in the secondary market could have an adverse effect on our liquidity position.
From a cash flow perspective, the vast majority of cash received from mortgage originations occurs at the point the loans are sold or securitized into the secondary market. The vast majority of servicing fee income relates to the retained servicing fee on the loans, where cash is received monthly over the life of the loan and is typically a product of the borrowers’ current unpaid principal balance multiplied by the weighted average service fee. For a given mortgage loan, servicing revenue from the retained servicing fee generally declines over time as the principal balance of the loan is reduced.
The amount of financing advanced to us under our warehouse facilities, as determined by agreed upon advance rates, may be less than the stated advance rate depending, in part, on the fair value of the mortgage loans securing the financings and premium we pay the broker. Each of our warehouse facilities allows the bank extending the advances to evaluate regularly the market value of the underlying loans that are serving as collateral. If a bank determines that the value of the collateral has decreased, the bank can require us to provide additional collateral (e.g., initiate a margin call) or reduce the amount outstanding with respect to the corresponding loan. Our inability to satisfy the request could result in the termination of the facility and, depending on the terms of our agreements, possibly result in a default being declared under our other warehouse facilities.
Warehouse lenders generally conduct daily evaluations of the adequacy of the underlying collateral for the warehouse loans based on the fair value of the mortgage loans. As the loans are generally financed at 97% to 98% of principal balance and
our loans are typically outstanding on warehouse lines for short periods (e.g., less than one month), significant increases in market interest rates would be required for us to experience margin calls or requirements to reduce the amount outstanding with respect to the corresponding loan from a majority of our warehouse lenders. Four of our warehouse lines advance based on the fair value of the loans, rather than the principal balance. For those lines, we exchange collateral for modest changes in value. As of September 30, 2024, there were no outstanding exchanges of collateral.
The amount owed and outstanding on our warehouse facilities fluctuates based on our origination volume, the amount of time it takes us to sell the loans we originate, our cash on hand, and our ability to obtain additional financing. From time to time, we will increase or decrease the size of the lines to reflect anticipated increases or decreases in volume, strategies regarding the timing of sales of mortgages to the GSEs or secondary markets and costs associated with not utilizing the lines. We reserve the right to arrange for the early payment of outstanding loans and advances from time to time. As we accumulate loans, a significant portion of our total warehouse facilities may be utilized to fund loans.
The table below reflects the current line amounts of our principal warehouse facilities and the amounts advanced against those lines as of September 30, 2024:

5 Interest rates under these funding facilities are based on a reference interest rate benchmark plus a spread, which ranged from 1.35% to 1.95% for substantially all of our loan production volume as of September 30, 2024.
Early Funding Programs
We are an approved lender for loan early funding facilities with Fannie Mae through its As Soon As Pooled Plus (“ASAP+”) program and Freddie Mac through its Early Funding (“EF”) program. As an approved lender for these early funding programs, we enter into an agreement to deliver closed and funded one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, each secured by related mortgages and deeds of trust, and receive funding in exchange for such mortgage loans in some cases before the lender has grouped them into pools to be securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. All such mortgage loans must adhere to a set of eligibility criteria to be acceptable. As of September 30, 2024, no amount was outstanding under the ASAP+ program and $105.0 million was outstanding through the EF program.
Covenants
Our warehouse facilities generally require us to comply with certain operating and financial covenants and the availability of funds under these facilities is subject to, among other conditions, our continued compliance with these covenants.
These financial covenants include, but are not limited to, maintaining (i) a certain minimum tangible net worth, (ii) minimum liquidity, (iii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities or total debt to tangible net worth, and (iv) profitability. A breach of these covenants can result in an event of default under these facilities and as such would allow the lenders to pursue certain remedies. In addition, each of these facilities, as well as our secured and unsecured lines of credit, includes cross default or cross acceleration provisions that could result in all facilities terminating if an event of default or acceleration of maturity occurs under any facility. We were in compliance with all covenants under these facilities as of September 30, 2024.
Other Financing Facilities
Senior Notes
On November 3, 2020, our consolidated subsidiary, UWM, issued $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The 2025 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.500% per annum. Interest on the 2025 Senior Notes is due semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year. We used approximately $500.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering of 2025 Senior Notes for general corporate purposes to fund future growth and distributed the remainder to SFS Corp. for tax distributions.

On April 7, 2021, our consolidated subsidiary, UWM, issued $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”). The 2029 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.500% per annum. Interest on the 2029 Senior Notes is due semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year. We used a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes to pay off and terminate a line of credit that was in place at the time of issuance, and the remainder for general corporate purposes.
Beginning on April 15, 2024, we may, at our option, redeem the 2029 Senior Notes in whole or in part during the twelve-month period beginning on the following dates at the following redemption prices: April 15, 2024 at 102.750%; April 15, 2025 at 101.375%; or April 15, 2026 until maturity at 100%, of the principal amount of the 2029 Senior Notes to be redeemed on the redemption date plus accrued and unpaid interest.
On November 22, 2021, our consolidated subsidiary, UWM, issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes"). The 2027 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.750% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes is due semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year.

The indentures governing the 2025 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes, and the 2027 Senior Notes contain certain operating covenants and restrictions, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including restrictions on our ability to (1) incur additional non-funding indebtedness unless either (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the applicable indenture) is no less than 3.0 to 1.0 or (z) the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (as defined in the applicable indenture) does not exceed 2.0 to 1.0, (2) merge, consolidate or sell assets, (3) make restricted payments, including distributions, (4) enter into transactions with affiliates, (5) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (6) incur liens securing indebtedness. We were in compliance with the terms of these indentures as of September 30, 2024.
MSR Facilities
On September 30, 2022, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), providing UWM with up to $1.5 billion of uncommitted borrowing capacity to finance the origination, acquisition or holding of certain mortgage servicing rights (the “Citi MSR Facility”). The Citi MSR Facility is collateralized by all of UWM's mortgage servicing rights that are appurtenant to mortgage loans pooled in securitizations by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that meet certain criteria. Available borrowings, as well as mandatory curtailments, under the Citi MSR Facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral, and borrowings under the Citi MSR Facility bear interest based on one-month term SOFR plus an applicable margin.
The Citi MSR Facility contains covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity, maximum debt to net worth ratio, and net income as defined in the agreement. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.
On January 30, 2023, UWM, amended the Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, to permit UWM, with the prior consent of Citibank, to enter into transactions for the sale of excess servicing cash flows (as discussed below) whereby Citibank will release its security interest in that portion of the collateral.
On June 27, 2024, UWM and Citibank, N.A. amended both the Loan and Security Agreement and the warehouse facility agreement between the parties. These amendments increased the combined total uncommitted borrowing capacity of the MSR Facility and the warehouse facility to $2.0 billion and extended the maturity dates to June 26, 2026. As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. As of September 30, 2024, $150.0 million was outstanding under the MSR Facility.
On March 20, 2023, our consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, providing UWM with up to $500.0 million of uncommitted borrowing capacity to finance the origination, acquisition or holding of certain mortgage servicing rights (the "GNMA MSR facility"). The GNMA MSR facility is collateralized by all of UWM's mortgage servicing rights that are appurtenant to mortgage loans pooled in securitization by Ginnie Mae that meet certain criteria. Available borrowings, as well as mandatory curtailments, under the GNMA MSR facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral. Borrowings under the GNMA MSR facility bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. The draw period for the GNMA MSR facility ends on March 20, 2026, and the facility has a maturity date of March 20, 2027. As of September 30, 2024, $150.0 million was outstanding under the GNMA MSR facility.
The GNMA MSR Facility contains covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity, maximum debt to net worth ratio, and net income as defined in the agreement. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.
The weighted average interest rate charged for borrowings under our MSR facilities was 8.14% and 9.04% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 8.92% and 8.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Revolving Credit Facility
On August 8, 2022, UWM entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement, between UWM, as the borrower, and SFS Corp., as the lender. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility had an initial one-year term and automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time, and accrue interest at the Applicable Prime Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). UWM may utilize the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with: (i) operational and investment activities, including but not limited to funding and/or advances related to (a) servicing rights, (b) ‘scratch and dent’ loans, (c) margin requirements, and (d) equity in loans held for sale; and (ii) general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain financial and operating covenants and restrictions, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, and the availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to our continued compliance with these covenants. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2024. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024.
Borrowings Against Investment Securities
In 2021, UWM began selling some of the mortgage loans that it originates through UWM's private label securitization transactions. In executing these transactions, UWM sells mortgage loans to a securitization trust for cash and, in some cases, retained interests in the trust. The securitization entities are funded through the issuance of beneficial interests in the securitized assets. The beneficial interests take the form of trust certificates, some of which are sold to investors and some of which may be retained by UWM due to regulatory requirements. UWM entered into sale and repurchase agreements for a portion of the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts established to facilitate its private label securitization transactions which have been accounted for as borrowings against investment securities. As of September 30, 2024, we had $93.7 million outstanding under individual trades executed pursuant to a master repurchase agreement with a counterparty which is collateralized by the investment securities (beneficial interests in the trusts) that we retained due to regulatory requirements. The borrowings against investment securities have remaining terms ranging from one to three months as of September 30, 2024, and interest rates based on SOFR plus a spread. We intend to renew these sale and repurchase agreements upon their maturity during the required holding period for the retained investment securities.
The counterparty under these sale and repurchase agreements conducts daily evaluations of the adequacy of the underlying collateral based on the fair value of the retained investment securities less specified haircuts. These investment securities are financed on average at approximately 72% of the outstanding principal balance, and exchanges of cash collateral are required if the fair value of the retained investment securities, less the haircut, is less than the principal balance plus accrued interest on the secured borrowings. As of September 30, 2024, we had delivered $0.8 million of collateral to the counterparty under these sale and repurchase agreements.
Finance Leases
As of September 30, 2024, our finance lease liabilities were $25.8 million, $25.0 million of which relates to leases with related parties. The Company’s financing lease agreements have remaining terms ranging from approximately three months to twelve years.

Net cash used in operating activities was $5.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $494.5 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities year-over-year was primarily driven by the increase in mortgage loans at fair value (funded in the normal course by borrowings on warehouse facilities) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a decrease in mortgage loans at fair value for the comparable period in 2023.
Net cash provided by investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1.7 billion of net cash provided by investing activities for the same period in 2023. The increase in cash flows provided by investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in proceeds from the sales of MSRs and excess servicing cash flows.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $3.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to cash used in financing activities of $2.1 billion for the same period in 2023. Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily driven by net borrowings under warehouse lines of credit (due to the increase in mortgage loans at fair value), partially offset by net repayments on our MSR facilities, member distributions (including tax distributions) and dividends. Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by net repayments under warehouse lines of credit (due to the decrease in mortgage loans at fair value), along with net repayments on our MSR facilities, member distributions and dividends.
Contractual Obligations
Cash requirements from contractual and other obligations
As of September 30, 2024, our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations include interest and principal payments under our Senior Notes, principal payments under our borrowings against investment securities, interest and principal payments under our MSR Facility and GNMA MSR Facility, payments under our financing and operating lease agreements, and required tax distributions to SFS Corp. There have been no other material changes in the cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations since December 31, 2023.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Board declared a dividend of $0.10 per share of Class A common stock for an aggregate $11.3 million. Concurrently with this declaration, the Board, in its capacity as the Manager of Holdings LLC, under the Holdings LLC Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, approved a proportional distribution of $148.5 million from Holdings LLC to SFS Corp. with respect to Class B Units of Holdings LLC. The dividend and the distributions were paid on October 10, 2024.
Our consolidated subsidiary, Holdings LLC, is generally required from time to time to make distributions in cash to SFS Corp. (as well as distributions to UWMC) in amounts sufficient to cover the taxes on its allocable share of the taxable income of Holdings LLC.
The sources of funds needed to satisfy these cash requirements include cash flows from operations and investing activities, including cash flows from sales of MSRs and excess servicing cash flows, sale or securitization of loans into the secondary market, loan origination fees and certain other fees related to the origination of a loan, servicing fee income, and interest income on mortgage loans.
Repurchase and indemnification obligations
Loans sold to investors, which we believe met investor and agency underwriting guidelines at the time of sale, may be subject to repurchase in the event of specific default by the borrower or subsequent discovery that underwriting or documentation standards were not explicitly satisfied. We establish a reserve which is estimated based on an assessment of our contingent and non-contingent obligations, including expected losses, expected frequency, the overall potential remaining exposure, as well as an estimate for a market participant’s potential readiness to stand by to perform on such obligations. See Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Interest rate lock commitments, loan sale and forward commitments, and other interest rate derivatives
In the normal course of business, we are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit to borrowers at either fixed or floating interest rates. IRLCs are binding agreements to lend to a borrower at a specified interest rate within a specified period of time as long as there is no violation of conditions established in the contract. These commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses which may require payment of a fee. As many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.The blended average pullthrough rate was 78% and 76% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
We also enter into contracts to sell loans into the secondary market at specified future dates (commitments to sell loans), and forward commitments to sell MBS at specified future dates and interest rates. In addition, we have entered into certain interest rate swap futures contracts, referred to as other interest rate derivatives. These financial instruments include margin call provisions that require us to transfer cash in an amount sufficient to eliminate any margin deficit. A margin deficit generally results from daily changes in the fair value of these financial instruments. We are generally required to satisfy the margin call on the day of or within one business day of such notice.
Following is a summary of the notional amounts of commitments as of dates indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
($ in thousands) | September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Interest rate lock commitments—fixed rate (a) | $ | 13,582,018 | | | $ | 6,258,801 | |
Interest rate lock commitments—variable rate (a) | 1,555 | | | 5,926 | |
Commitments to sell loans | 2,995,758 | | | 2,501,298 | |
Forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities | 14,263,914 | | | 7,968,677 | |
Interest rate swap future contracts | 8,420,000 | | | — | |
| | | |
(a) Adjusted for pullthrough rates of 78% and 76% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. |
As of September 30, 2024, we had sold $3.1 billion of loans to a global insured depository institution and assigned the related trades to deliver the applicable loans into securities for end investors for settlement in October 2024.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Use of Significant Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We have identified certain
accounting estimates as being critical because they require management's judgement to make difficult, subjective or complex judgements about matters that are uncertain. Actual results could differ and the use of other assumptions or estimates could result in material differences in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our critical accounting policies and estimates relate to accounting for mortgage loans held at fair value and revenue recognition, mortgage servicing rights, derivative financial instruments and representations and warranties reserve. There were no significant changes to our policies, methodologies, or processes used in applying our critical accounting estimates from what was described in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, we are subject to a variety of risks which can affect our operations and profitability. We broadly define these areas of risk as interest rate, credit and counterparty risk.
Interest rate risk
We are subject to interest rate risk which may impact our origination volume and associated revenue, MSR valuations, IRLCs and mortgage loans at fair value valuations, and the net interest margin derived from our funding facilities. The fair value of MSRs is driven primarily by interest rates, which impact expected prepayments. In periods of rising interest rates, the fair value of the MSRs generally increases as expected prepayments decrease, consequently extending the estimated life of the MSRs, and estimated float earnings increase, resulting in expected increases in cash flows. In a declining interest rate environment, the fair value of MSRs generally decreases as expected prepayments increase consequently truncating the estimated life of the MSRs, and estimated float earnings decrease, resulting in expected decreases in cash flows. Because origination volumes tend to increase in declining interest rate environments and decrease in increasing rate environments, we believe that our origination business provides a natural hedge to servicing. We periodically evaluate our overall interest rate risk management strategy with respect to MSRs, which includes consideration of our natural business model hedge, regular sales of MSRs and excess servicing cash flows, and at times entering into financial instruments to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with all or a portion of our MSR portfolio.
Our IRLCs and mortgage loans at fair value are exposed to interest rate volatility. During the origination, pooling, and delivery process, this pipeline value rises and falls with changes in interest rates. Because substantially all of our production is deliverable to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae, we predominately utilize forward agency or Ginnie Mae To Be Announced ("TBA") securities as our primary hedge instrument. The TBA market is a secondary market where FLSCs or TBAs are sold by lenders seeking to hedge the risk that market interest rates may change and lock in a price for the mortgages they are in the process of originating.
We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates. Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including market volatility and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts modeled. We used September 30, 2024 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated to our performance because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear nor does it factor ongoing operations. The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our mortgage loans at fair value, MSRs, IRLCs, FLSCs, and interest rate swap futures as of September 30, 2024 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. Actual results could differ materially.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 |
($ in thousands) | Down 25 bps | | Up 25 bps |
Increase (decrease) in assets | | | |
Mortgage loans at fair value | $ | 50,441 | | | $ | (60,072) | |
MSRs | (115,954) | | | 127,402 | |
IRLCs | 80,703 | | | (103,141) | |
Interest rate swap futures | 131,439 | | | (128,638) | |
Total change in assets | $ | 146,629 | | | $ | (164,449) | |
Increase (decrease) in liabilities | | | |
FLSCs | $ | (133,590) | | | $ | 149,850 | |
Total change in liabilities | $ | (133,590) | | | $ | 149,850 | |
Credit risk
We are subject to credit risk, which is the risk of default that results from a borrower’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required mortgage payments. While our loans are sold into the secondary market without recourse, we do have repurchase and indemnification obligations to investors for breaches under our loan sale agreements. For loans that were repurchased or not sold in the secondary market, we are subject to credit risk to the extent a borrower defaults and the proceeds upon ultimate foreclosure and liquidation of the property are insufficient to cover the amount of the mortgage loan plus expenses incurred. We believe that this risk is mitigated through the implementation of stringent underwriting standards, strong fraud detection tools and technology designed to comply with applicable laws and our standards. In addition, we believe that this risk is mitigated through the quality of our loan portfolio. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, our originated loans had a weighted average loan to value ratio of 83.04% and 82.46%, and a weighted average FICO score of 735 and 736. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, our originated loans had a weighted average loan to value ratio of 82.67% and 83.15%, and a weighted average FICO score of 738 for both periods.
Counterparty risk
We are subject to risk that arises from our financing facilities and interest rate risk hedging activities. These activities generally involve an exchange of obligations with unaffiliated banks or companies, referred to in such transactions as “counterparties." If a counterparty were to default, we could potentially be exposed to financial loss if such counterparty were unable to meet its obligations to us. We manage this risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among many such counterparties, limiting singular credit exposures on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and entering into master netting agreements with the counterparties as appropriate.
In accordance with the best practices outlines by The Treasury Market Practices Group, we execute Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association trading agreements with all material trading partners. Each such agreement provides for an exchange of margin should either party’s exposure exceed a predetermined contractual limit. Such margin requirements limit our overall counterparty exposure. The master netting agreements contain a legal right to offset amounts due to and from the same counterparty. We incurred no losses due to nonperformance by any of our counterparties during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.
Also, in the case of our financing facilities, we are subject to risk if the counterparty chooses not to renew a borrowing agreement and we are unable to obtain financing to originate mortgage loans. With our financing facilities, we seek to mitigate this risk by ensuring that we have sufficient borrowing capacity with a variety of well-established counterparties to meet our funding needs as well as fostering long-term relationships.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024. Based upon their evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We operate in a heavily regulated industry that is highly sensitive to consumer protection, and we are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws. We are routinely involved in consumer complaints, regulatory actions and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. We are also routinely involved in state regulatory audits and examinations, and occasionally involved in other governmental proceedings arising in connection with our respective business. The resolution of these matters, including the matters specifically described below, is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, financial performance or cash flows.
On April 23, 2021, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company and Mat Ishbia, individually by The Okavage Group, LLC ("Okavage") on behalf of itself and all other mortgage brokers who are, or have been clients of UWM and either Fairway Independent Mortgage or Rocket Pro TPO. On February 6, 2024, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation that the complaint be dismissed on all counts (the “Report and Recommendation”). On September 23, 2024, the court entered an order (the "Order") adopting and confirming the Report and Recommendation and dismissing the supplemental class action complaint without prejudice. On October 17, 2024, Okavage filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit appealing the Order.
On February 3, 2022, UWM filed a complaint against America’s Moneyline, Inc. (“AML”), a former client, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The complaint alleges AML breached the parties’ wholesale broker agreement by submitting mortgage loans and mortgage loan applications to certain select retail lenders. On February 25, 2022, AML filed its answer to the complaint and included certain counterclaims against UWM, including fraud and misrepresentation. On March 18, 2022, UWM filed a motion to dismiss AML’s counterclaims. On December 22, 2022, the court granted UWM’s motion in large part, dismissing AML’s counterclaims (except its declaratory judgment claim), and held that AML's counterclaims failed for the same reasons as explained in the Report and Recommendation in Okavage (discussed above). On May 6, 2024, AML filed a motion for leave to file a supplemental counterclaim, to which UWM filed a response on May 20, 2024. On September 26, 2024, UWM filed a Notice of Supplemental Authority providing the court with the Order in Okavage. On October 23, 2024, AML filed a Response to Notice of Supplemental Authority.
On April 2, 2024, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against UWM, the Company, SFS Corp., and Mat Ishbia, individually (collectively, the “UWM Defendants”) by Therisa D. Escue, et al. (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”). The Plaintiffs seek class certification, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and equitable and injunctive relief. The Plaintiffs allege, among other things, that for mortgage loans originated through UWM, UWM improperly influenced mortgage brokers in its network to steer prospective borrowers to obtain their mortgage loans from UWM at pricing and subject to fees substantially in excess of that charged by competitors, and that such mortgage brokers did not act independently but instead were captive to UWM. The UWM Defendants deny the allegations in the complaint and believe the allegations are without merit. On June 21, 2024, the UWM Defendants filed a motion to dismiss in the case. On August 30, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a first amended class action complaint in the case. On September 17, 2024, the UWM Defendants filed a Motion for Sanctions. On October 15, 2024, the UWM Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the first amended class action complaint and a motion to strike class allegations in the case.
Item 5. Other Information
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, none of our officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) or directors adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 1, 2024, UWM entered into Amendment No. 18 to Master Repurchase Agreement by and between UWM and UBS AG (the "UBS Master Repurchase Agreement"). The amendment (i) extends the termination date to September 30, 2025, (ii) increases the maximum committed amount from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion and (iii) effectuated other non-material changes to the UBS Master Repurchase Agreement. All other material terms of the UBS Master Repurchase Agreement remained the same.
