DETROIT, Sept. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Rocket Companies, Inc. (NYSE: RKT) ("Rocket Companies" or the "Company"), a Detroit-based holding company consisting of tech-driven real estate, mortgage and financial services businesses – including Rocket Mortgage, Rocket Homes and Rocket Auto – today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Jay Farner, CEO of Rocket Companies, stated, "Rocket Companies had a very strong second quarter, thanks to our team members' hard work and dedication to our clients, as well as the incredibly scalable mortgage origination platform that allowed us to meet unprecedented demand. As a result, we were able to help more clients this quarter than any other in our 35-year history – all while more than 98% of our team members worked safely from their homes. Clearly, the strategy of investing in long-term growth paid off this quarter and, as we continue to strengthen and evolve the platform, will remain a significant advantage for our business well into the future.

"While I'm proud of our performance, I am even more encouraged by the significant opportunity that remains in front of us as we continue to execute on our plan of achieving 25 percent market share by 2030. It is clear that our simple, client-focused, digital approach is continuously and fundamentally disrupting the way our industries do business."

Second Quarter Highlights

During the second quarter, Rocket Companies:

  • Generated record closed loan origination volume of $72.3 billion and net rate lock volume $92.0 billion, which represented year-over-year improvements of 126% and 170%, respectively.
  • Increased gain on sale margin compared to historical levels as favorable market conditions boosted demand for mortgages and led to capacity constraints in the industry.
  • Leveraged technology investments to manage surge in demand while maintaining industry-leading turn times.
  • Grew total revenue, net, by 268% and adjusted revenue by 152% as compared to the first quarter of 2020; during this time expenses increased by 24%, primarily driven by higher variable compensation and an increase in team members in production roles to support growth.
  • Increased other revenues as title insurance services, property valuation and settlement services at Amrock grew as a result of the increase in origination volume noted above.
  • In partnership with the Rocket Mortgage Classic PGA TOUR event, announced the "Changing the Course" initiative, a multi-year campaign to bring every Detroit resident access to the internet, technology and digital literacy training they deserve within five years.
  • Earned 7th consecutive J.D. Power award for customer satisfaction in mortgage servicing in July. We have achieved this milestone in each of the 7 years since becoming eligible.
  • On August 10, 2020, Rocket Companies completed its initial public offering ("IPO"). As such, it did not have any shares outstanding or calculations of earnings per share for any periods prior to this date. As of August 10, 2020, the Company had 100,372,565 of Class A shares outstanding and 1,883,279,483 of Class D shares outstanding. An additional 16,720,517 shares of Class A shares were reserved for restricted stock units.

Current Environment

  • We continue to see strong consumer demand for home loans into the third quarter of 2020.
  • As of August 31, 2020, approximately 96,000 clients, or 4.7% of our total servicing portfolio, were on a forbearance plan related to COVID-19.

Third Quarter Outlook

We expect the following ranges compared to the year-earlier period:

  • Net rate lock volume of between $93 billion and $98 billion, which would represent an increase of 98% to 108% compared to $47.0 billion in the third quarter of 2019.
  • Closed loan volume of between $82 billion and $85 billion, or an increase of 105% to 112% compared to $40.3 billion in the third quarter of 2019.
  • Gain on sale margins of 4.05% to 4.30%, which would be an improvement of 23% to 31% compared to 3.29% in the third quarter of 2019.

  • Subsequent to June 30, 2020 and prior to the IPO, we distributed $2.26 billion to our parent company, Rock Holdings Inc.
  • We remain in a strong liquidity position following the IPO, with total liquidity of $3.7 billion including $1.0 billion of cash on-hand plus $2.7 billion of undrawn lines of credit and corporate cash used to self-fund loan originations which could be transferred to funding facilities (warehouse lines) at our option.

Direct to Consumer

In the Direct-to-Consumer segment, clients have the ability to interact with our Rocket Mortgage app and/or with our mortgage bankers. We market to potential clients in this segment through various performance marketing channels. Servicing activities are fully allocated to the Direct to Consumer segment as they are viewed as an extension of the client experience, with the primary objective being to establish and maintain positive, regular touchpoints with our clients. These activities position us to be the natural choice for clients' next refinance or purchase mortgage transaction.

We measure the performance of the segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Contribution margin is intended to measure the direct profitability of each segment and is calculated as Adjusted Revenue less directly attributable expenses. Adjusted Revenue is a non- GAAP financial measure described below. Directly attributable expenses include salaries, commissions and team member benefits, general and administrative expenses, and other expenses, such as direct servicing costs and origination costs.

Partner Network

Our Rocket Pro platform supports our Partner Network segment and enables the ability to offer mortgage solutions with a superior client experience. Our two primary types of partnerships are marketing and influencer. Our marketing partnerships consist of well-known, consumer-focused companies that find value in our award-winning client experience and want to offer their clients mortgage solutions with our trusted, widely recognized brand. Our influencer partnerships are typically with companies that employ licensed mortgage professionals who find value in our client experience, technology and efficient mortgage process. In some cases, mortgages are not their primary offering.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA as non-GAAP measures which management believes provide useful information to investors. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

We define "Adjusted Revenue" as total revenues net of the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") due to valuation assumptions. We define "Adjusted Net Income" as tax-effected earnings before stock-based compensation expense and the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions, and the tax effects of those adjustments. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt, income tax, and depreciation and amortization, net of the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges) and stock-based compensation expense. We exclude from each of these non-GAAP revenues the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges) as this represents a non-cash non-realized adjustment to our total revenues, reflecting changes in assumptions including discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, which is not indicative of our performance or results of operation. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of "interest income, net", as these expenses are a direct cost driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA provide indicators of performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on these measures for planning and forecasting of future periods. Additionally, these measures allow management to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures. However, other companies may define Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA differently, and as a result, our measures of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.

Although we use Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Additionally, our definitions of each of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA allows us to add back certain non-cash charges and deduct certain gains that are included in calculating total revenues, net, net income attributable to Rocket Companies or net income (loss). However, these expenses and gains vary greatly, and are difficult to predict. They can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, total revenues, net income attributable to Rocket Companies and net income (loss) in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.
