Year-over year highlights: Revenue increased $15 million or 7% to $223 million primarily driven by higher servicing income and pull through weighted gain on sale margin, partially offset by revenue loss due to the cyber incident. Expenses decreased $7 million or 2% to $308 million primarily from lower personnel and marketing costs. Company incurred $15 million of net charges directly related to cyber incident during the quarter. Net loss decreased 22% to $72 million. Adjusted net loss decreased 35% to $38 million. Maintained strong liquidity profile with cash balance of $604 million. loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot” or the “Company”), a leading provider of lending solutions that make the American dream of homeownership more accessible and achievable for all, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. “We exited 2023 with positive top-line momentum and continued to make progress toward our Vision 2025 goals, including forward-looking investments in our people, products and technology platforms,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Martell. “During the quarter, the company was significantly impacted by a cyber incident. The company was able to restore operations relatively quickly, however lost revenue and additional expenses related to the incident impacted our first quarter financial results. We do not expect further disruptions in our operations stemming from this incident. “Looking forward to the remainder of 2024, we plan to continue investing in revenue generating opportunities, which we believe will positively impact this year as well as drive towards our goal of first quartile operating efficiencies. Although it is likely that market conditions will remain challenging, we believe that maximizing profitable revenue growth opportunities and operating leverage benefits will support our march towards our objective of achieving profitability.” “During the quarter, we continued to focus on profitable growth and reducing costs, including achieving 93% of our $120 million supplemental productivity program through April, while maintaining strong levels of liquidity,” said Chief Financial Officer David Hayes. “During the first quarter we incurred $15 million of charges directly related to the cyber incident. Additionally, we estimate our revenue was also adversely impacted by approximately $22 million from the time our systems were offline and were unable to take customer locks. Despite recent increases in interest rates that have reduced industry forecasts for 2024 market volumes, we continue to aggressively focus on our plan to return to profitability.” First Quarter Highlights: Financial Summary Three Months Ended ($ in thousands except per share data) (Unaudited) Mar 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Rate lock volume $ 6,802,330 $ 6,417,419 $ 8,468,435 Pull through weighted lock volume(1) 4,731,836 4,407,386 5,325,488 Loan origination volume 4,558,351 5,370,708 4,944,337 Gain on sale margin(2) 2.84 % 2.43 % 2.43 % Pull through weighted gain on sale margin(3) 2.74 % 2.96 % 2.26 % Financial Results Total revenue $ 222,785 $ 228,626 $ 207,901 Total expense 307,950 302,571 314,484 Net loss (71,505 ) (59,771 ) (91,721 ) Diluted loss per share $ (0.19 ) $ (0.16 ) $ (0.25 ) Non-GAAP Financial Measures(4) Adjusted total revenue $ 230,860 $ 251,450 $ 226,190 Adjusted net loss (38,111 ) (26,660 ) (58,977 ) Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) 2,384 14,957 (27,590 ) (1) Pull through weighted rate lock volume is the principal balance of loans subject to interest rate lock commitments, net of a pull-through factor for the loan funding probability.

Year-over-Year Operational Highlights Non-volume related expenses decreased $8.4 million from the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower headcount related salary expenses and marketing costs, offset somewhat by the costs related to the cyber incident. Incurred restructuring and impairment charges totaling $3.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the first quarter of 2023. Accrued $1.1 million of legal expenses related to the expected settlement of outstanding litigation compared to none accrued during the first quarter of 2023. Pull through weighted lock volume of $4.7 billion for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.6 billion or 11% from the first quarter of 2023, and reflected the impact of the cyber incident. Rate lock volume contributed to quarterly total revenue of $222.8 million, an increase of $14.9 million, or 7%, over the same period, which increase was primarily due to higher servicing fee income and pull-through weighted gain on sale margin. Loan origination volume for the first quarter of 2024 was $4.6 billion, a decrease of $0.4 billion or 8% from the first quarter of 2023. Purchase volume increased to 72% of total loans originated during the first quarter, up from 71% of total loans originated during the first quarter of 2023. For the three months ending March 31, 2024, our preliminary organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate1 decreased to 59% from the first quarter 2023’s refinance rate of 67%. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 of $71.5 million as compared to net loss of $91.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net loss decreased primarily due to higher revenues and lower expenses. Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $38.1 million as compared to adjusted net loss of $59.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. Outlook for the second quarter of 2024 Origination volume of between $5 billion and $7 billion. Pull-through weighted rate lock volume of between $4.5 billion and $6.5 billion. Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin of between 260 basis points and 290 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share (if dilutive), and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as they represent non-cash, unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, expenses directly related to the Cybersecurity Incident, net of expected insurance recoveries, including costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, professional fees and commission guarantees (but does not include ongoing costs such as associated litigation expenses), gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, non-cash goodwill impairment, and other impairment charges to intangible assets and 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 (LBITDA) 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 (LBITDA). 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 shares 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 (LBITDA) 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 (LBITDA) 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) 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.

loanDepot Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results By: loanDepot, Inc. via Business Wire May 07, 2024 at 16:01 PM EDT Positive revenue and cost momentum partially offset by the impact of January cyber incident. Year-over year highlights: Revenue increased $15 million or 7% to $223 million primarily driven by higher servicing income and pull through weighted gain on sale margin, partially offset by revenue loss due to the cyber incident. Expenses decreased $7 million or 2% to $308 million primarily from lower personnel and marketing costs. Company incurred $15 million of net charges directly related to cyber incident during the quarter. Net loss decreased 22% to $72 million. Adjusted net loss decreased 35% to $38 million. Maintained strong liquidity profile with cash balance of $604 million. loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot” or the “Company”), a leading provider of lending solutions that make the American dream of homeownership more accessible and achievable for all, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. “We exited 2023 with positive top-line momentum and continued to make progress toward our Vision 2025 goals, including forward-looking investments in our people, products and technology platforms,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Martell. “During the quarter, the company was significantly impacted by a cyber incident. The company was able to restore operations relatively quickly, however lost revenue and additional expenses related to the incident impacted our first quarter financial results. We do not expect further disruptions in our operations stemming from this incident. “Looking forward to the remainder of 2024, we plan to continue investing in revenue generating opportunities, which we believe will positively impact this year as well as drive towards our goal of first quartile operating efficiencies. Although it is likely that market conditions will remain challenging, we believe that maximizing profitable revenue growth opportunities and operating leverage benefits will support our march towards our objective of achieving profitability.” “During the quarter, we continued to focus on profitable growth and reducing costs, including achieving 93% of our $120 million supplemental productivity program through April, while maintaining strong levels of liquidity,” said Chief Financial Officer David Hayes. “During the first quarter we incurred $15 million of charges directly related to the cyber incident. Additionally, we estimate our revenue was also adversely impacted by approximately $22 million from the time our systems were offline and were unable to take customer locks. Despite recent increases in interest rates that have reduced industry forecasts for 2024 market volumes, we continue to aggressively focus on our plan to return to profitability.” First Quarter Highlights: Financial Summary Three Months Ended ($ in thousands except per share data) (Unaudited) Mar 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Rate lock volume $ 6,802,330 $ 6,417,419 $ 8,468,435 Pull through weighted lock volume(1) 4,731,836 4,407,386 5,325,488 Loan origination volume 4,558,351 5,370,708 4,944,337 Gain on sale margin(2) 2.84 % 2.43 % 2.43 % Pull through weighted gain on sale margin(3) 2.74 % 2.96 % 2.26 % Financial Results Total revenue $ 222,785 $ 228,626 $ 207,901 Total expense 307,950 302,571 314,484 Net loss (71,505 ) (59,771 ) (91,721 ) Diluted loss per share $ (0.19 ) $ (0.16 ) $ (0.25 ) Non-GAAP Financial Measures(4) Adjusted total revenue $ 230,860 $ 251,450 $ 226,190 Adjusted net loss (38,111 ) (26,660 ) (58,977 ) Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) 2,384 14,957 (27,590 ) (1) Pull through weighted rate lock volume is the principal balance of loans subject to interest rate lock commitments, net of a pull-through factor for the loan funding probability. (2) Gain on sale margin represents the total of (i) gain on origination and sale of loans, net, and (ii) origination income, net, divided by loan origination volume during period.

(4) See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and a reconciliation of these metrics to their closest GAAP measure. Year-over-Year Operational Highlights Non-volume related expenses decreased $8.4 million from the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower headcount related salary expenses and marketing costs, offset somewhat by the costs related to the cyber incident. Incurred restructuring and impairment charges totaling $3.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the first quarter of 2023. Accrued $1.1 million of legal expenses related to the expected settlement of outstanding litigation compared to none accrued during the first quarter of 2023. Pull through weighted lock volume of $4.7 billion for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.6 billion or 11% from the first quarter of 2023, and reflected the impact of the cyber incident. Rate lock volume contributed to quarterly total revenue of $222.8 million, an increase of $14.9 million, or 7%, over the same period, which increase was primarily due to higher servicing fee income and pull-through weighted gain on sale margin. Loan origination volume for the first quarter of 2024 was $4.6 billion, a decrease of $0.4 billion or 8% from the first quarter of 2023. Purchase volume increased to 72% of total loans originated during the first quarter, up from 71% of total loans originated during the first quarter of 2023. For the three months ending March 31, 2024, our preliminary organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate1 decreased to 59% from the first quarter 2023’s refinance rate of 67%. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 of $71.5 million as compared to net loss of $91.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net loss decreased primarily due to higher revenues and lower expenses. Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $38.1 million as compared to adjusted net loss of $59.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. Outlook for the second quarter of 2024 Origination volume of between $5 billion and $7 billion. Pull-through weighted rate lock volume of between $4.5 billion and $6.5 billion. Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin of between 260 basis points and 290 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share (if dilutive), and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as they represent non-cash, unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, expenses directly related to the Cybersecurity Incident, net of expected insurance recoveries, including costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, professional fees and commission guarantees (but does not include ongoing costs such as associated litigation expenses), gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, non-cash goodwill impairment, and other impairment charges to intangible assets and 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 (LBITDA) 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 (LBITDA). 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 shares 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 (LBITDA) 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 (LBITDA) 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) 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.

Positive revenue and cost momentum partially offset by the impact of January cyber incident. Year-over year highlights: Revenue increased $15 million or 7% to $223 million primarily driven by higher servicing income and pull through weighted gain on sale margin, partially offset by revenue loss due to the cyber incident. Expenses decreased $7 million or 2% to $308 million primarily from lower personnel and marketing costs. Company incurred $15 million of net charges directly related to cyber incident during the quarter. Net loss decreased 22% to $72 million. Adjusted net loss decreased 35% to $38 million. Maintained strong liquidity profile with cash balance of $604 million.
loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot” or the “Company”), a leading provider of lending solutions that make the American dream of homeownership more accessible and achievable for all, today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. “We exited 2023 with positive top-line momentum and continued to make progress toward our Vision 2025 goals, including forward-looking investments in our people, products and technology platforms,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Frank Martell. “During the quarter, the company was significantly impacted by a cyber incident. The company was able to restore operations relatively quickly, however lost revenue and additional expenses related to the incident impacted our first quarter financial results. We do not expect further disruptions in our operations stemming from this incident. “Looking forward to the remainder of 2024, we plan to continue investing in revenue generating opportunities, which we believe will positively impact this year as well as drive towards our goal of first quartile operating efficiencies. Although it is likely that market conditions will remain challenging, we believe that maximizing profitable revenue growth opportunities and operating leverage benefits will support our march towards our objective of achieving profitability.” “During the quarter, we continued to focus on profitable growth and reducing costs, including achieving 93% of our $120 million supplemental productivity program through April, while maintaining strong levels of liquidity,” said Chief Financial Officer David Hayes. “During the first quarter we incurred $15 million of charges directly related to the cyber incident. Additionally, we estimate our revenue was also adversely impacted by approximately $22 million from the time our systems were offline and were unable to take customer locks. Despite recent increases in interest rates that have reduced industry forecasts for 2024 market volumes, we continue to aggressively focus on our plan to return to profitability.” First Quarter Highlights: Financial Summary Three Months Ended ($ in thousands except per share data) (Unaudited) Mar 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 Rate lock volume $ 6,802,330 $ 6,417,419 $ 8,468,435 Pull through weighted lock volume(1) 4,731,836 4,407,386 5,325,488 Loan origination volume 4,558,351 5,370,708 4,944,337 Gain on sale margin(2) 2.84 % 2.43 % 2.43 % Pull through weighted gain on sale margin(3) 2.74 % 2.96 % 2.26 % Financial Results Total revenue $ 222,785 $ 228,626 $ 207,901 Total expense 307,950 302,571 314,484 Net loss (71,505 ) (59,771 ) (91,721 ) Diluted loss per share $ (0.19 ) $ (0.16 ) $ (0.25 ) Non-GAAP Financial Measures(4) Adjusted total revenue $ 230,860 $ 251,450 $ 226,190 Adjusted net loss (38,111 ) (26,660 ) (58,977 ) Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) 2,384 14,957 (27,590 ) (1) Pull through weighted rate lock volume is the principal balance of loans subject to interest rate lock commitments, net of a pull-through factor for the loan funding probability.

(4) See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and a reconciliation of these metrics to their closest GAAP measure. Year-over-Year Operational Highlights Non-volume related expenses decreased $8.4 million from the first quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower headcount related salary expenses and marketing costs, offset somewhat by the costs related to the cyber incident. Incurred restructuring and impairment charges totaling $3.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million from the first quarter of 2023. Accrued $1.1 million of legal expenses related to the expected settlement of outstanding litigation compared to none accrued during the first quarter of 2023. Pull through weighted lock volume of $4.7 billion for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.6 billion or 11% from the first quarter of 2023, and reflected the impact of the cyber incident. Rate lock volume contributed to quarterly total revenue of $222.8 million, an increase of $14.9 million, or 7%, over the same period, which increase was primarily due to higher servicing fee income and pull-through weighted gain on sale margin. Loan origination volume for the first quarter of 2024 was $4.6 billion, a decrease of $0.4 billion or 8% from the first quarter of 2023. Purchase volume increased to 72% of total loans originated during the first quarter, up from 71% of total loans originated during the first quarter of 2023. For the three months ending March 31, 2024, our preliminary organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate1 decreased to 59% from the first quarter 2023’s refinance rate of 67%. Net loss for the first quarter of 2024 of $71.5 million as compared to net loss of $91.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net loss decreased primarily due to higher revenues and lower expenses. Adjusted net loss for the first quarter of 2024 was $38.1 million as compared to adjusted net loss of $59.0 million for the first quarter of 2023. Outlook for the second quarter of 2024 Origination volume of between $5 billion and $7 billion. Pull-through weighted rate lock volume of between $4.5 billion and $6.5 billion. Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin of between 260 basis points and 290 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share (if dilutive), and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA). We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs and related hedging gains and losses as they represent non-cash, unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, expenses directly related to the Cybersecurity Incident, net of expected insurance recoveries, including costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, professional fees and commission guarantees (but does not include ongoing costs such as associated litigation expenses), gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, non-cash goodwill impairment, and other impairment charges to intangible assets and 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 (LBITDA) 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 (LBITDA). 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 shares 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 (LBITDA) 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 (LBITDA) 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) 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 Earnings (Loss) Per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA (LBITDA) along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.
