CEO Commentary

"Our financial results for the first quarter of 2022 reinforced the benefits of our differentiated originations business and our balanced model," said Mary Ann McGarry, CEO. "Our scale-enabled servicing platform acted as an effective hedge to softer origination volumes and tighter gain-on-sale margins across the industry, which the MBA signaled is in a cycle of higher interest rates and lower refinance volumes. We achieved strong growth in servicing fees and sizeable gains in the underlying value of the MSRs on our balance sheet.

"Our purchase-focused originations business is well positioned to gain market share for the long term. We have built our retail distribution platform and loan officer network to now serve 49 states, with a strong management team in place that has successfully navigated the company through multiple mortgage cycles.

"Furthermore, innovation is part of our DNA. We recently introduced GreenSmart Advantage in partnership with The Home Depot to help homebuyers save utility costs and manage multiple payments by bundling the costs of new energy-efficient appliances into a single mortgage loan.

"We remain focused on delivering consistent and profitable growth across interest rate cycles. We have generated a 40.4% adjusted return on equity over the last five years, and our tangible book value grew 30% on a sequential basis to $15.02 as of March 31, 2022."

- Mary Ann McGarry, CEO of Guild Holdings Company

First Quarter Origination Segment Results

Origination segment net income increased 19% quarter-over-quarter to $63.4 million from $53.4 million primarily driven by an upward adjustment to the fair value of the contingent liabilities related to acquisitions, partially offset by the decrease in the volume of originations as a result of higher interest rates. Gain on sale margins on pull-through adjusted locked volume decreased 15% quarter-over-quarter to 334 bps due to pricing pressures from capacity constraints among mortgagors in the increasing interest rate environment. Total pull-through adjusted locked volume in the first quarter of 2022 was $7.3 billion. The segment's expenses were $182.2 million compared to $253.8 million in the sequential quarter primarily due to decreases in salaries, incentive compensation and benefits expenses paid to our origination teams.

First Quarter Servicing Segment Results

Net income attributed to the servicing segment was $226.8 million compared to $27.3 million in the sequential quarter. The Company retained servicing rights of 89% for total loans sold in the first quarter of 2022.

Net revenue totaled $237.6 million compared to $37.5 million in the sequential quarter driven by adjustments to the fair value of the Company's Mortgage Servicing Rights, which increased to $184.6 million in the first quarter 2022, compared to a decrease of $17.0 million in the sequential quarter due to increasing interest rates and lower prepayment speeds. Guild recaptured 55% of refinance volumes as new originations, which aligns with the Company's synergistic business model.

Guild is not obligated to purchase any shares under the share repurchase program and the timing of any repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume, market conditions, and other general business considerations. The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Board of Directors of Guild at any time. Guild intends to fund any repurchases under the share repurchase program with cash on hand.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read together with the other cautionary statements included in this press release. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our GAAP financial results, we disclose certain financial measures for our consolidated and operating segment results on both a GAAP and a non-GAAP (adjusted) basis. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as earnings attributable to Guild before the change in the fair value measurements related to our MSRs, contingent liabilities related to completed acquisitions due to changes in valuation assumptions, amortization of acquired intangible assets and stock-based compensation. We exclude these items because we believe they are non-cash expenses that are not reflective of our core operations or indicative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted Net Income is also adjusted by applying an implied tax effect to these adjustments. In addition we exclude the change in the fair value of MSRs due to changes in model inputs and assumptions from Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA below because we believe this non-cash, non-realized adjustment to net revenues is not indicative of our operating performance or results of operations but rather reflects changes in model inputs and assumptions (e.g., prepayment speed, discount rate and cost to service assumptions) that impact the carrying value of the Company's MSRs from period to period.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share. We define Adjusted Earnings Per Share as our adjusted net income divided by the basic weighted average shares outstanding of our Class A and Class B common stock.

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest (without adjustment for net warehouse interest related to loan fundings and payoff interest related to loan prepayments), taxes, depreciation and amortization and net income attributable to the non-controlling interest exclusive of any change in the fair value measurements of the MSRs due to valuation assumptions, contingent liabilities from business acquisitions and stock-based compensation. We exclude these items because we believe they are non-cash expenses that are not reflective of our core operations or indicative of our ongoing operations.

Adjusted Return on Equity. We define Adjusted Return on Equity as annualized Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of average beginning and ending stockholders' equity during the period.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets and to develop operational goals for managing our business. These non-GAAP financial measures are designed to evaluate operating results exclusive of fair value adjustments that are not indicative of management's operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that these financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results, enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures rather than net income (loss) or net income (loss) attributable to Guild, which are the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, and Return on Equity, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP for Adjusted Return on Equity. These limitations include that these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and many of the adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and may be reflected in the Company's financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.

For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations" included at the end of this release.
