Reshaped leadership team focused on capitalizing on loanDepot’s unique set of assets to drive operational excellence and profitable market share growth.
Positive Q3 momentum from higher revenue and positive operating leverage.
Highlights:
- Revenue increased 14% to $323 million and adjusted revenue increased 11% to $325 million compared to the prior quarter on higher pull-though weighted lock volume and margin, and servicing income.
- Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin increased 9 basis points to 339 basis points.
- Expenses increased 6% to $334 million, driven primarily by higher personnel and general and administrative expenses.
- Net loss of $9 million was down 65%, compared with net loss of $25 million in the prior quarter, primarily reflecting higher revenue.
- Adjusted net loss of $3 million was down 82%, compared with the prior quarter adjusted net loss of $16 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA increased by 90% to $49 million compared to $26 million in the prior quarter.
- Strong liquidity profile with cash balance increasing to $459 million from $409 million in the prior quarter.
loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot” or the “Company”), today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
“A key part of my efforts during the third quarter has focused on reshaping our leadership team, positioning us to leverage loanDepot’s unique set of assets and drive operational excellence,” said Founder and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Hsieh. “With key senior-level promotions, strategic hires, and organizational realignment, I believe we have the right team in place that returns us to our innovative roots to pursue profitable market share growth."
Hsieh continued, “I believe loanDepot is uniquely positioned with a diversified, multi-channel origination strategy, consisting of direct to consumer, in-market retail and partnerships with homebuilders, plus a substantial servicing portfolio and a nationally recognized brand that together create a powerful flywheel effect. At the core of this is our Consumer Direct Lending channel, which is one of the few tech-powered, at-scale models of its kind with both best-in-class lead generation capabilities and top-tier customer recapture rates from our servicing portfolio. I believe these assets, combined with our scale in a highly fragmented market, give us a distinct advantage to rapidly invest in and deploy emerging technologies that will help us achieve our goal of making more loans faster and at a lower cost, while achieving top-tier customer service levels.”
Added Chief Financial Officer, David Hayes, “In the third quarter, we continued to narrow our loss, driven by higher revenue and disciplined expense management, resulting in positive operating leverage. Revenue rose 14% quarter-over-quarter, fueled by stronger pull-through volume, improved margins, and increased servicing income, while expenses grew by only 6%. We also strengthened our balance sheet, increasing cash by $51 million to $459 million.”

Operational Highlights
- Non-volume1 related expenses increased $15.8 million from the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the absence of one-time benefits in salary and general and administrative expenses recognized in the second quarter.
- Pull-through weighted lock volume of $7.0 billion for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $0.6 billion or 10% from the second quarter of 2025.
- Loan origination volume for the third quarter of 2025 was $6.5 billion, a decrease of $0.2 billion or 3% from the second quarter of 2025.
- Purchase volume totaled 60% of total loans originated during the third quarter, down from 63% during the second quarter of 2025.
- Our preliminary organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate2 decreased to 65% from the second quarter 2025’s recapture rate of 70%.
- Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 of $8.7 million as compared to net loss of $25.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Net loss narrowed primarily due to higher volume of pull-through weighted lock volume and margin and higher servicing income, offset somewhat by higher expenses.
- Adjusted net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $2.8 million as compared to adjusted net loss of $16.0 million for the second quarter of 2025.
| ___________________________ | |
1 |
Volume related expenses include commissions, marketing and advertising expense, and direct origination expense. All remaining expenses are considered non-volume related. |
| 2 | We define organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate as the total unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of loans in our servicing portfolio that are paid in full for purposes of refinancing the loan on the same property, with the Company acting as lender on both the existing and new loan, divided by the UPB of all loans in our servicing portfolio that paid in full for the purpose of refinancing the loan on the same property. The recapture rate is finalized following the publication date of this release when external data becomes available. |
Outlook for the fourth quarter of 2025
- Origination volume of between $6.5 billion and $8.5 billion.
- Pull-through weighted rate lock volume of between $6.0 billion and $8.0 billion.
- Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin of between 300 basis points and 325 basis points.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide 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. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA. We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs, gains (losses) from the sale of MSRs, and related hedging gains and losses that represent realized and unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We have excluded expenses directly related to the cybersecurity incident in January 2024 that resulted from unauthorized access to our systems (the “Cybersecurity Incident”), net of insurance recoveries during fiscal 2024, such as costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, and professional fees, including legal expenses, litigation settlement costs, and commission guarantees. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, and impairment charges to operating lease right-of-use assets, as well as certain costs associated with our restructuring efforts, as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of “net interest income (expense),” as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Adjustments to Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the pro forma conversion of weighted average Class C common stock to Class A common stock. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or 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. Some of these limitations are:
- They do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;
- Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and
- They are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to the Company, or Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share or as an indicator of our operating performance and should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
