Preliminary Financial and Operational Results
The financial and operational information in this press release is selected, preliminary, estimated unaudited financial information for the three months ended September 30, 2026. These estimates have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management and have not been reviewed by the Company’s independent registered accounting firm. The preliminary financial and operational information set forth above is based solely on information available to the management of the Company as of the date hereof and is subject to change. The actual financial results of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, may differ (and such differences may be material) from these preliminary estimates due to the completion of the Company’s quarterly financial closing procedures, including the finalization of accounting analyses, valuations, adjustments and other matters that may arise before the Company reports its final results. The preliminary estimates presented above are subject to final adjustments and other developments that may arise between the date hereof and the time that the results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 for the Company are finalized, and are not intended to be a comprehensive statement of our financial or operational results for the three months ended September 30, 2026. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on this preliminary estimated financial information, as it may differ materially from the actual results. As the Company completes its financial close process and finalizes its financial statements, and as its independent auditors complete their review of the Company’s financial statements, it is possible the Company may identify items that require adjustments to the preliminary financial and operational information set forth in this press release, and those changes could be material. The Company does not intend to update such financial information prior to the filing of its Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, except as otherwise required by law.

We wish to caution readers that certain important factors may have affected and could in the future affect our results and could cause actual results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of us. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by U.S. GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, net non-funding debt and Total Preferred and Common Equity as non-GAAP measures, which our management uses to evaluate our operating performance and believes it provides useful information on our performance to investors. These measures are not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA, net non-funding debt and Total Preferred and Common Equity have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense on non-funding debt, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation inputs or assumptions, gains or losses on other interest rate derivatives, the impact of non-cash deferred compensation expense, the non-cash income/expense impact of the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, the change in fair value of retained investment securities, and acquisition-related expenses (net of recoveries) as we believe these adjustments are not indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of interest expense, as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
We define Total Preferred and Common Equity as the sum of (i) total redeemable preferred stock (which was $1.5 billion as of September 30, 2026) plus total equity (which was $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2026).
We define net non-funding debt as the combination of the Company's senior notes, lines of credit, borrowings against investment securities, and finance leases, net of unrestricted cash.
The Company has not provided reconciliations of preliminary Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income/(loss), because the information necessary to provide such reconciliations is not available without unreasonable effort as of the date of this release and would therefore be potentially misleading and not practicable. This is due to the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in net income/(loss), including but not limited to asset impairments, MSR valuations and income tax valuation adjustments, that cannot be calculated at this time without unreasonable effort. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure for historical periods are available in the Company’s quarterly earnings conference call presentations, accessible on the investor section of the Company’s website at www.uwm.com/investors. The Company expects to provide the applicable reconciliations when it reports its final financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
