Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

During the third quarter of 2025:

  • Generated total revenue, net of $1.61 billion and GAAP net loss of $124 million. Generated total adjusted revenue of $1.78 billion and adjusted net income of $158 million.
  • Generated $35.8 billion in net mortgage rate lock volume, a 20% increase compared to the same period of the prior year.
  • Generated $32.4 billion in closed mortgage loan origination volume, a 14% increase compared to the same period of the prior year.
  • Gain on sale margin was 2.80%, an increase of 2 bps compared to the same period of the prior year.
  • Total liquidity was $9.3 billion, as of September 30, 2025, which includes $5.8 billion of cash on the balance sheet, $0.4 billion of corporate cash used to self-fund loan originations, $1.1 billion of undrawn lines of credit, and $2.0 billion of undrawn MSR lines of credit. The $5.8 billion of cash on the balance sheet includes $4.0 billion of prefunding debt related to the Mr. Cooper transaction. Subsequent to the quarter on October 1, Mr. Cooper legacy debt was retired.
  • Servicing portfolio unpaid principal balance, which includes acquired and subserviced loans, was $613 billion or 2.9 million loans serviced as of September 30, 2025. The portfolio generates approximately $1.7 billion of recurring servicing fee income on an annualized basis.

Company Highlights

  • On October 1, the Company completed an all-stock acquisition of Mr. Cooper Group, Inc. ("Mr. Cooper"). Under the agreement, each Mr. Cooper share was exchanged for 11 shares of Rocket Companies Class A common stock, increasing Rocket's Class A float to 35%. Founded in 1994, Mr. Cooper is the largest home loan servicer in the United States, focused on delivering a variety of servicing and lending products, services and technologies.
  • On October 1, Jay Bray joined Rocket Mortgage as President and CEO. Mr. Bray brings more than 30 years of experience in the mortgage servicing and originations industry. Prior to Rocket Mortgage, Mr. Bray led Mr. Cooper as Chairman and CEO, where he played a key role in the growth of the company's servicing portfolio to become the largest in the industry. Mr. Bray reports to Varun Krishna, CEO of Rocket Companies, the parent company of Rocket Mortgage.
  • In Q3, Rocket Mortgage released the AI-powered Pipeline Manager Agent, a tool that enables our loan officers to identify and prioritize the right leads. Our loan officers also leverage our AI communications platform to craft hyper-personalized text messages to clients. During the September refinance wave, our refinance loan officers—the first to leverage these tools—saw a 9 percentage point increase in client follow-ups, a double-digit lift in both daily credit pulls and refinance application conversions, and contributed to an incremental increase in rate lock volume.
  • In Q3, Rocket Mortgage launched the Purchase Agreement AI Agent, automating the complex, county-specific review of purchase agreements. This automation reduces processing time by 80% while achieving accuracy that exceeds the legacy review process and is projected to save more than 150,000 team member hours annually.
  • In Q3, Rocket Mortgage launched the Rocket Pro Underwriting AI Agent to give mortgage broker partners faster decisioning. The agent automates document verification, e-signature compliance checks, regulatory eligibility reviews, and generates detailed task summaries. Tasks that previously took over four hours now take less than 15 minutes.
  • On September 30, Rocket Pro hosted over 600 mortgage broker partners at the Rocket Pro Experience (RPX) in downtown Detroit. At the event, the company announced 10 broker partner commitments with foundational tenets of transparency, choice, and empowerment—to help brokers thrive through partnership with Rocket Pro. Several new tools were also unveiled: Rocket Pro Navigate, an AI platform for sales coaching and client communications; Rocket Pro Assist, an AI-driven support resource for instant loan inquiries; and BrokerNearMe.com, a consumer portal connecting borrowers with local mortgage brokers.
  • On October 16, Rocket Mortgage raised its conforming loan limit to $825,550 for single family homes across 48 states. The higher limit applies to our direct to consumer, Rocket Pro partner network, and Mr. Cooper Correspondent Partner channels, further expanding access to conventional mortgage financing.
  • On October 1, upon closing of the Mr. Cooper acquisition, Rocket Companies redeemed Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc.'s ("Nationstar") 5.000% senior notes due 2026, 6.000% senior notes due 2027, and 5.500% senior notes due 2028. The Company also completed cash tender offers and consent solicitations, conducted in connection with the acquisition of Mr. Cooper, for Nationstar's 5.125% senior notes due 2030, and 5.750% senior notes due 2031, as well as exchange offers and consent solicitations for Nationstar's 6.500% senior notes due 2029 and 7.125% senior notes due 2032. Collectively, these actions simplify and align the combined company's capital structure, reduce outstanding legacy debt, and enhance financial flexibility.
  • In September, Rocket Community Fund announced a $500,000 investment in Year Up United, a nationally recognized workforce development organization connecting young adults without four-year college degrees to in-demand careers, underscoring its commitment to expanding access to economic opportunity for Detroiters.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Outlook (2)

In Q4 2025, we expect adjusted revenue between $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion.

This outlook incorporates a full quarter of consolidated financial results from Redfin and Mr. Cooper.

Segments

Direct to Consumer

In the Direct to Consumer segment, clients have the ability to interact with Rocket Mortgage digitally and/or with the Company's mortgage bankers. The Company markets to potential clients in this segment through various brand campaigns and performance marketing channels. The Direct to Consumer segment derives revenue from originating, closing, selling and servicing predominantly agency-conforming loans, which are pooled and sold to the secondary market. The segment also includes title and settlement services and appraisal management, complementing the Company's end-to-end mortgage origination experience. Servicing activities are fully allocated to the Direct to Consumer segment and are viewed as an extension of the client experience. Servicing enables Rocket Mortgage to establish and maintain long term relationships with our clients, through multiple touchpoints at regular engagement intervals.

Partner Network

The Rocket Professional platform supports our Partner Network segment, where we leverage our superior client service and widely recognized brand to grow marketing and influencer relationships and our mortgage broker partnerships through Rocket Pro. Our marketing partnerships consist of well-known consumer-focused companies that find value in our award-winning client experience and want to offer their clients mortgage solutions with our trusted, widely recognized brand. These organizations connect their clients directly to us through marketing channels and a referral process. Our influencer partnerships are typically with companies that employ licensed mortgage professionals that find value in our client experience, technology and efficient mortgage process, where mortgages may not be their primary offering. We also enable clients to start the mortgage process through the Rocket platform in the way that works best for them, including through a local mortgage broker.

(3) We measure the performance of the Direct to Consumer and Partner Network segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Contribution margin is intended to measure the direct profitability of each segment and is calculated as Adjusted revenue less directly attributable expenses. Directly attributable expenses include salaries, commissions and team member benefits, general and administrative expenses, marketing and advertising expenses and other expenses, such as mortgage servicing related expenses and expenses generated from Rocket Close (title and settlement services). A loan is considered "sold" when it is sold to investors on the secondary market. See "Summary Segment Results" section below and "Segments" footnote in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's forthcoming filing on Form 10-Q for more information.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total available cash was $6.2 billion as of September 30, 2025, which includes $5.8 billion of cash and cash equivalents, and $0.4 billion of corporate cash used to self-fund loan originations. This total available cash includes $4.0 billion from the unsecured notes issued in June 2025 in anticipation of refinancing Mr. Cooper's unsecured debt and paydown of existing MSR debt upon closing.

Additionally, we have access to $1.1 billion of undrawn lines of credit, and $2.0 billion of undrawn MSR lines of credit from financing facilities, for a total liquidity position of $9.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. Subsequent to the quarter on October 1, $3.1 billion of Mr. Cooper's legacy unsecured debt was refinanced with the proceeds from the June issuance and the remaining $1.9 billion of Mr. Cooper's legacy unsecured debt was assumed or refinanced through an exchange offer. Also subsequent to the quarter, we upsized our undrawn lines of credit to $2.3 billion, further enhancing our liquidity profile.

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, marketing and advertising expenses and other expenses, such as mortgage servicing related expenses and expenses generated from Rocket Close (title and settlement services).

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, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively "our non-GAAP financial measures") as non-GAAP measures which management believes provide useful information to investors. We believe that the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, Net loss, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define our non-GAAP financial measures differently, and as a result, our measures of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures provide indicators of performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items. Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on these measures for planning and forecasting of future periods. Additionally, these measures allow management to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures.

We define "Adjusted revenue" as total revenues net of the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges). We define "Adjusted net income" as tax-effected Net loss before share-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets, the change in Tax receivable agreement liability and the tax effects of those adjustments as applicable. We define "Adjusted diluted earnings per share" as Adjusted net income divided by the adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding which includes diluted weighted average Participating Common Stock and the assumed pro forma exchange and conversion of Class D common stock outstanding for the applicable period presented. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as Net loss before interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt, (benefit from) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the change in Tax receivable agreement liability.

We exclude from each of our non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), as this represents a non-cash non-realized adjustment to our total revenues, reflecting changes in market interest rates and assumptions, including discount rates and prepayment speeds, which are not indicative of our performance or results of operation. We also exclude gains or losses on sales of MSRs during the period and effects of contractual prepayment protection associated with sales of MSRs. Further, we exclude the amortization of intangible assets recognized from the Redfin acquisition from Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA. The Redfin intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and the related amortization recorded over their useful lives represents a fixed non-cash expense that is not indicative of our ongoing performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes Interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of Interest income, net, as these expenses are a direct cost driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Our definitions of each of our non-GAAP financial measures allow us to add back certain cash and non-cash charges, and deduct certain gains that are included in calculating Total revenue, net, Net loss attributable to Rocket Companies or Net loss. However, these expenses and gains vary greatly, and are difficult to predict. From time to time in the future, we may include or exclude other items if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors.

Although we use our non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. Our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

For financial outlook information, the Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted revenue to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the GAAP measure cannot be reliably estimated and the reconciliation cannot be performed without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties and adjusting items that the Company cannot reasonably predict at this time but which may be material.

As of June 30, 2025, the effective date of the Up-C Collapse, the Company applies the two-class method for calculating and presenting earnings per share by separately presenting earnings per share for Class A common stock and Class L common stock ("Participating Common Stock").
