UWM HOLDINGS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

UWM Holdings Corporation, through its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), engages in the origination, sale and servicing of residential mortgage loans. The Company is organized in Delaware but based in Michigan, and originates and services loans throughout the U.S. The Company is approved as a Title II, non-supervised direct endorsement mortgagee with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (or “HUD”). In addition, the Company is an approved issuer with the Government National Mortgage Association (or “Ginnie Mae”), as well as an approved seller and servicer with the Federal National Mortgage Association (or “Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (or “Freddie Mac”).

The Company (f/k/a Gores Holdings IV, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware on June 12, 2019. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On September 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, SFS Holding Corp., a Michigan corporation (“SFS Corp.”), United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (“UWM”), and UWM Holdings, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company (“Holdings LLC” and, together with UWM, the “UWM Entities”). The business combination with the UWM Entities closed on January 21, 2021.

Prior to the closing of the business combination with the UWM Entities, SFS Corp. was the sole member of UWM, which had one unit authorized, issued and outstanding. On January 21, 2021, SFS Corp. contributed its equity interest in UWM to Holdings LLC and adopted the Amended and Restated Operating Agreement to admit Holdings LLC as UWM's sole member and its manager. Upon completion of the business combination transaction, (i) Holdings LLC issued approximately 6% of its units (Class A Common Units) to the Company, (ii) SFS Corp. retained approximately 94% of the units (Class B Common Units) in Holdings LLC and accordingly retained approximately 94% of the economic ownership interest of the combined company and (iii) Holdings LLC became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, as the Company is the sole managing member of Holdings LLC. The economic interest in Holdings LLC owned by SFS Corp. is presented as a non-controlling interest in these condensed consolidated financial statements (see Note 10 - Non-Controlling Interests for further information).

Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Company is organized in an “Up-C” structure in which UWM (the operating subsidiary) is held directly by Holdings LLC, and the Company’s only material direct asset consists of Class A Common Units in Holdings LLC. The Company’s current capital structure authorizes Class A common stock, Class B common stock, Class C common stock and Class D common stock. The Class A common stock and Class C common stock each provide holders with one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, and the Class B common stock and Class D common stock each provide holders with 10 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of Class C common stock and Class D common stock do not have any of the economic rights (including rights to dividends and distributions upon liquidation) provided to holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Immediately following the business combination transaction, there were 103,104,205 shares of Class A common stock outstanding, and 1,502,069,787 shares of non-economic Class D common stock outstanding (all of which were held by SFS Corp.), and no shares of Class B or Class C common stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2022, there were 92,575,425 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 1,502,069,787 shares of Class D common stock outstanding. Each Holdings LLC Class B Common Unit held by SFS Corp. may be exchanged at the option of the Company, along with its stapled share of Class D common stock, for either, (a) cash or (b) one share of the Company’s Class B common stock (See Note 10 - Non-Controlling Interests). Each share of Class B Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Stock upon the transfer or assignment of such share from SFS Corp. to a non-affiliated third-party. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, SFS Corp. is entitled to receive an aggregate of up to 90,761,687 earn-out shares in the form of Class B Common Units in Holdings LLC and Class D common shares upon attainment of certain stock price targets prior to January 2026. There are four different triggering events that affect the number of earn-out shares that will be issued based upon the per share price of Class A common stock ranging from $13.00 to $19.00 per share. The Company accounts for the potential earn-out shares as a component of stockholders’ equity in accordance with the applicable guidance in U.S. GAAP. See Note 16 - Earnings Per Share for further information.

Table of Contents

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The business combination transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP as UWM was determined to be the accounting acquirer, primarily due to the fact that SFS Corp. continues to control the Company through its ownership of the Class D common stock. Under this method of accounting, while the Company was the legal acquirer, it was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the business combination transaction was treated as the equivalent of UWM issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization, with the net assets of the Company stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The net proceeds received from Gores Holdings IV, Inc. in the business combination transaction approximated $895.1 million, and the Company incurred approximately $16.0 million in costs related to the transaction which were charged to stockholders' equity upon the closing of the transaction. As part of the business combination transaction, the Company assumed the liability related to the Public and Private Warrants (described below) of $45.6 million. The Company’s financial statement presentation included in these condensed consolidated financial statements include the condensed consolidated financial statements of UWM and its subsidiaries for periods prior to the completion of the business combination transaction with the UWM Entities and of the Company for periods from and after the business combination transaction.

The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and presented in U.S. dollars. They have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, these condensed consolidated financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. However, our results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year or for any other future period.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Loans Eligible for Repurchase from Ginnie Mae

When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase Ginnie Mae pool loans it has previously sold (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due), the previously sold assets are required to be re-recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, regardless of the Company’s intent to exercise its option to repurchase. The recognition of previously sold loans does not impact the accounting for the previously recognized mortgage servicing rights (or “MSRs”). At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had recorded Ginnie Mae pool loans as part of "Mortgage loans at fair value" totaling $310.1 million and $563.4 million, respectively, with related purchase liabilities equal to the gross amount of the loan recorded in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under applicable U.S. GAAP. Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and various state and local jurisdictions. The tax laws are often complex and may be subject to different interpretations. To determine the financial statement impact of accounting for income taxes, the Company must make assumptions and judgements about how to interpret and apply complex tax laws to numerous transactions and business events, as well as make judgements regarding the timing of when certain items may affect taxable income.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that includes the enactment date. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations. If based upon all available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and a valuation allowance is established. The valuation allowance may be reversed in a subsequent reporting period if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that all or part of the deferred tax asset will become realizable.

Table of Contents

Our interpretations of tax laws are subject to review and examination by various taxing authorities and jurisdictions where the Company operates, and disputes may occur regarding our view on a tax position. These disputes over interpretations with the various tax authorities may be settled by audit, administrative appeals or adjudication in the court systems of the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. We regularly review whether we may be assessed additional income taxes as a result of the resolution of these matters, and the Company records additional reserves as appropriate. In addition, the Company may revise its estimate of income taxes due to changes in income tax laws, legal interpretations, and business strategies. We recognize the financial statement effects of uncertain income tax positions when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. We record interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. See Note 14 – Income Taxes for further information.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement with SFS Corp. that will obligate the Company to make payments to SFS Corp. of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the Company actually realizes as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges of Holdings LLC Common Units; (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by the Company as a result of payments it makes under the tax receivable agreement; (iii) certain increases in tax basis resulting from payments the Company makes under the tax receivable agreement; and (iv) disproportionate allocations (if any) of tax benefits to the Company which arise from, among other things, the sale of certain assets as a result of section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these tax savings. The Company recognized a liability of approximately $1.9 million for estimated amounts due under the Tax Receivable Agreement in connection with the business combination transaction. Subsequently, the liability is accounted for as a loss contingency, with changes in the liability measured and recorded when estimated amounts due under the Tax Receivable Agreement are probable and can be reasonably estimated, and reported as part of other expense/(income) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded an additional liability of $3.2 million, representing 85% of the estimated tax benefits to the Company resulting from sales of MSRs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the total liability recorded for the Tax Receivable Agreement was approximately $17.1 million.

Related Party Transactions

The Company enters into various transactions with related parties. See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions for further information.

Public and Private Warrants

As part of Gores Holdings IV, Inc.'s initial public offering ("IPO") in January 2020, Gores Holdings IV, Inc. issued to third party investors 42.5 million units, consisting of one share of Class A common stock of Gores Holdings IV, Inc. and one-fourth of one warrant, at a price of $10.00 per unit. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Gores Holdings IV, Inc. completed the private sale of 5.25 million warrants to Gores Holdings IV, Inc.'s sponsor at a purchase price of $2.00 per warrant (the “Private Warrants”). Each Private Warrant allows the sponsor to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. Upon the closing of the business combination transaction, the Company had 10,624,987 Public Warrants and 5,250,000 Private Warrants outstanding.

The Private Warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until after the completion of the business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company evaluated the Public and Private Warrants under applicable U.S. GAAP and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity due to certain terms of the warrants. Since the Public and Private Warrants meet the definition of derivatives, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value upon the closing of the business combination transaction and subsequently (recorded within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other"), with the change in their respective fair values recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations (recorded within "Other expense/(income)"). During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively, of other income related to the change in fair value of warrants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $7.7 million and $27.5 million, respectively, of other income related to the change in fair value of warrants.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective upon the closing of the business combination transaction, the Company adopted the UWM Holdings Corporation 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) which was approved by stockholders on January 20, 2021. The 2020 Plan allows for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and stock appreciation rights. Pursuant to the 2020 Plan, the Company reserved a total of 80,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance of stock-based compensation awards. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant and is included in "Salaries, commissions and benefits" on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company made a policy election to recognize the effects of forfeitures as they occur. See Note 15 – Stock-based Compensation for further information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2021-1, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which was issued in January 2021 and will remain effective through December 31, 2022. This guidance provides practical expedients to address existing guidance on contract modifications due to the expected market transition from the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The ASU was effective upon issuance on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 2020 and the Company may elect certain practical expedients as reference rate activities occur. The Company will evaluate its debt and other applicable contracts that are modified in the future to ensure they are eligible for modification relief and apply the practical expedients as needed. The Company does not anticipate this will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2 – MORTGAGE LOANS AT FAIR VALUE

The table below includes the estimated fair value and unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of mortgage loans that have contractual principal amounts and for which the Company has elected the fair value option. The fair value option has been elected for mortgage loans, as this accounting treatment best reflects the economic consequences of the Company’s mortgage origination and related hedging and risk management activities. The difference between the UPB and estimated fair value is made up of the premiums paid on mortgage loans, as well as the fair value adjustment as of the balance sheet date. The change in fair value adjustment is recorded in the “Loan production income” line item of the condensed consolidated statements of operations.


(In thousands)	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Mortgage loans, unpaid principal balance	$	5,524,573	$	17,194,330
Premiums paid on mortgage loans	47,081		238,963
Fair value adjustment	(230,437)		40,031
Mortgage loans at fair value	$	5,341,217	$	17,473,324

NOTE 3 – DERIVATIVES

The Company enters into interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) to originate residential mortgage loans at specified interest rates and terms within a specified period of time with customers who have applied for a loan and may meet certain credit and underwriting criteria. To determine the fair value of the IRLCs, each contract is evaluated based upon its stage in the application, approval and origination process for its likelihood of consummating the transaction (or “pullthrough”). Pullthrough is estimated based on changes in market conditions, loan stage, and actual borrower behavior using a historical analysis of IRLC closing rates. Generally, the further into the process the more likely that the IRLC will convert to a loan. The blended average pullthrough rate was 78% and 86%, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company primarily uses forward loan sale commitments (“FLSCs”) to economically hedge the IRLCs.

The notional amounts and fair values of derivative financial instruments not designated as hedging instruments were as follows (in thousands):

The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of accounts receivable balances with delinquent receivables being written-off based on specific credit evaluations and circumstances of the debtor.

NOTE 5 – MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

Mortgage servicing rights are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets when loans are sold and the associated servicing rights are retained. The Company has elected the fair value option for all current classes of its MSRs. The Company determined its classes of MSRs based on how the Company manages risk. The Company's MSRs are measured at fair value, which is determined using a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows. The model includes estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, float earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and ancillary income and late fees, among others. These estimates are supported by market and economic data collected from various external sources.

The unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced for others approximated $306.0 billion and $319.8 billion at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Company have previously been sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on a non-recourse basis, whereby credit losses are generally the responsibility of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and not the Company. Loans serviced for Ginnie Mae are insured by the FHA, guaranteed by the VA, or insured by other applicable government programs. While the above guarantees and insurance are the responsibility of those parties, the Company is still subject to potential losses related to its servicing of these loans. Those estimated losses are incorporated into the valuation of MSRs.

The following table summarizes changes in the MSR assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights	$	236,780	$	(170,462)	$	434,912	$	(448,825)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company sold MSRs on loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $101.3 billion and $22.7 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion and $269.9 million, respectively. In connection with the sales of these MSRs, the Company recorded $47.0 million and $14.9 million, respectively, for its estimated obligation for protection provisions granted to the buyer and transaction costs, which is reflected as part of the change in fair value of MSRs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes the loan servicing income recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (in thousands):


	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Contractual servicing fees	$	193,715	$	173,133	$	567,040	$	439,386
Late, ancillary and other fees	3,066		1,562		7,807		4,376
Loan servicing income	$	196,781	$	174,695	$	574,847	$	443,762

The key unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s MSRs were as follows at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively:


	September 30, 2022							December 31, 2021
	Range					Weighted Average		Range					Weighted Average
Discount rates	9.5	%	—	15.0	%	10.1	%	9.0	%	—	14.5	%	9.6	%

Cost of servicing	$75		—	$106		$80		$74		—	$162		$81

Table of Contents

The hypothetical effect of adverse changes in these key assumptions would result in a decrease in fair values as follows at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, (in thousands):


	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Discount rate:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value	$	(159,984)	$	(107,992)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value	(307,114)		(208,567)
Prepayment speeds:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value	$	(133,988)	$	(138,807)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value	(259,876)		(267,964)
Cost of servicing:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value	$	(38,795)	$	(37,370)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value	(77,590)		(74,741)

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the table demonstrates, the Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of MSRs is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. For example, actual prepayment experience may differ, and any difference may have a material effect on MSR fair value. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this table, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption of the fair value of the MSRs is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may be associated with changes in another (for example, decreases in market interest rates may indicate higher prepayments; however, this may be partially offset by lower prepayments due to other factors such as a borrower’s diminished opportunity to refinance), which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Thus, any measurement of MSR fair value is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made as of a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different point in time.

We are an approved lender for loan early funding facilities with Fannie Mae through its As Soon As Pooled Plus (“ASAP+”) program and Freddie Mac through its Early Funding (“EF”) program. As an approved lender for these early funding programs, we enter into an agreement to deliver closed and funded one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, each secured by related mortgages and deeds of trust, and receive funding in exchange for such mortgage loans in some cases before the lender has grouped them into pools to be securitized by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. All such mortgage loans must adhere to a set of eligibility criteria to be acceptable. As of September 30, 2022, the amount outstanding through the ASAP+ program was approximately $41.3 million and $28.4 million was outstanding under the EF program.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had pledged mortgage loans at fair value as collateral under the above warehouse lines of credit. The above agreements also contain covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity, maximum debt to net worth ratio, and net income, as defined in the agreements. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2022.

MSR Facility

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, N.A., providing UWM with up to $1.5 billion of uncommitted borrowing capacity to finance the origination, acquisition or holding of certain mortgage servicing rights (the “MSR Facility”). The MSR Facility is collateralized by all of UWM's mortgage servicing rights that are appurtenant to mortgage loans pooled in securitization by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that meet certain criteria. Available borrowings under the MSR Facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral. Borrowings under the MSR Facility will bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. The MSR Facility contains covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity, maximum debt to net worth ratio, and net income as defined in the agreement. As of September 30, 2022,

Revolving Credit Facility

On August 8, 2022, UWM entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement, (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), between UWM, as the borrower, and SFS Corp., as the lender. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility has an initial maturity date of August 8, 2023. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time, and accrue interest at the Applicable Prime Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). UWM may utilize the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with: (i) operational and investment activities, including but not limited to funding and/or advances related to (a) servicing rights, (b) ‘scratch and dent’ loans, (c) margin requirements, and (d) equity in loans held for sale; and (ii) general corporate purposes.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain financial and operating covenants and restrictions, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, and the availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to our continued compliance with these covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2022. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Representations and Warranties Reserve

Loans sold to investors which the Company believes met investor and agency underwriting guidelines at the time of sale may be subject to repurchase by the Company in the event of specific default by the borrower or upon subsequent discovery that underwriting or documentation standards were not explicitly satisfied. The Company may, upon mutual agreement, indemnify the investor against future losses on such loans or be subject to other guaranty requirements and subject to loss. The Company initially records its exposure under such guarantees at estimated fair value upon the sale of the related loan, within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other" as well as within loan production income, and continues to evaluate its on-going exposures in subsequent periods. The reserve is estimated based on the Company’s assessment of its contingent and non-contingent obligations, including expected losses, expected frequency, the overall potential remaining exposure, as well as an estimate for a market participant’s potential readiness to stand by to perform on such obligations. The Company repurchased $91.3 million and $35.4 million in UPB of loans during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $279.9 million and $102.3 million in UPB of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to its representations and warranties obligations.

The activity of the representations and warranties reserve was as follows (in thousands):

Commitments to Originate Loans

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had agreed to extend credit to potential borrowers for approximately $20.5 billion. These contracts represent off balance sheet credit risk where the Company may be required to extend credit to these borrowers based on the prevailing interest rates and prices at the time of execution.

NOTE 9 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

Upon completion of the business combination transaction described in Note 1, the Company became the managing member of Holdings LLC with 100% of the management and voting power in Holdings LLC. In its capacity as managing member, the Company has the sole authority to make decisions on behalf of Holdings LLC and bind Holdings LLC to signed agreements. Further, Holdings LLC maintains separate capital accounts for its investors as a mechanism for tracking earnings and subsequent distribution rights.

Management concluded that the Company is Holdings LLC’s primary beneficiary. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the results and operations of Holdings LLC for financial reporting purposes under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) consolidation model.

The Company's relationship with Holdings LLC results in no recourse to the general credit of the Company. Holdings LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries represent the Company's sole investment. The Company shares in the income and losses of Holdings LLC in direct proportion to the Company's ownership interest. Further, the Company has no contractual requirement to provide financial support to Holdings LLC.

The Company's financial position, performance and cash flows effectively represent those of Holdings LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

In 2021, UWM began selling some of the mortgage loans that it originates through private label securitization transactions. There were no loan sales through private label securitization transactions through the first nine months of 2022. In executing these transactions, the Company sells mortgage loans to a securitization trust for cash and, in some cases, retained interests in the trust. The securitization entities are funded through the issuance of beneficial interests in the securitized assets. The beneficial interests take the form of trust certificates, some of which are sold to investors and some of which may be retained by the Company due to regulatory requirements. Retained beneficial interests consist of a 5% vertical interest in the assets of the securitization trusts, in order to comply with the risk retention requirements applicable to certain of the Company's securitization transactions. The Company has elected the fair value option for subsequently measuring the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts, and these investments are presented as “Investment securities at fair value, pledged” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Changes in the fair value of these retained beneficial interests are reported as part of "Other expense/(income)" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company also retains the servicing rights on the securitized mortgage loans. The Company has accounted for these transactions as sales of financial assets.

The securitization trusts that purchase the mortgage loans from the Company and securitize those mortgage loans are VIEs, and the Company holds variable interests in certain of these entities. Because the Company does not have the obligation to absorb the VIEs’ losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIEs that could potentially be significant to the VIEs, the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these securitization trusts and is not required to consolidate these VIEs. The Company separately entered into sale and repurchase agreements for a portion of the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts, which have been accounted for as borrowings against investment securities. As of September 30, 2022, $113.5 million of the $115.1 million of investment securities at fair value have been pledged as collateral for these borrowings against investment securities. The outstanding principal balance of these borrowings was approximately $114.9 million with remaining maturities ranging from approximately one to eleven months as of September 30, 2022, and interest rates based on LIBOR or SOFR plus a spread. The Company's maximum exposure to loss in these non-consolidated VIEs is limited to the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts.

NOTE 10 – NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

The non-controlling interest balance represents the economic interest in Holdings LLC held by SFS Corp. The following table summarizes the ownership of units in Holdings LLC as of September 30, 2022:


	Common Units	Ownership Percentage
UWM Holdings Corporation ownership of Class A Common Units	92,575,425	5.8	%
SFS Corp. ownership of Class B Common Units	1,502,069,787	94.2	%
Balance at end of period	1,594,645,212	100.0	%

The non-controlling interest holders have the right to exchange Class B Common Units, together with a corresponding number of shares of our Class D common stock or Class C common stock (together referred to as “Stapled Interests”), for, at the Company's option, (i) shares of the Company's Class B common stock or Class A common stock or (ii) cash from a substantially concurrent public offering or private sale (based on the price of the Company's Class A common stock). As such, future exchanges of Stapled Interests by non-controlling interest holders will result in a change in ownership and reduce or increase the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase or decrease additional paid-in-capital or retained earnings when Holdings LLC has positive or negative net assets, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, SFS Corp. has not exchanged any Stapled Interests.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 963,120 shares of Class A common stock which primarily related to the vesting of RSUs under its stock-based compensation plan and grants to the Company's non-employee directors. This resulted in an equivalent increase in the number of Class A Common Units of Holdings LLC held by the Company, and a re-measurement of the non-controlling interest in Holdings LLC due to the change in relative ownership of Holdings LLC with no change in control. The impact of the re-measurement of the non-controlling interest is reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity.

NOTE 11 – REGULATORY NET WORTH REQUIREMENTS

Certain secondary market agencies and state regulators require UWM to maintain minimum net worth and capital requirements to remain in good standing with the agencies. Noncompliance with an agency’s requirements can result in such agency taking various remedial actions up to and including terminating UWM’s ability to sell loans to and service loans on behalf of the respective agency.

UWM is required to maintain a minimum net worth, minimum capital ratio and minimum liquidity requirements established by HUD, Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. As of September 30, 2022, the most restrictive of these requirements require UWM to maintain a minimum net worth of $767.5 million, liquidity of $99.5 million and a minimum capital ratio of 6%. At September 30, 2022, UWM was in compliance with these requirements.

NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined under U.S. GAAP as the price that would be received if an asset were sold or the price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the measurement date. Required disclosures include classification of fair value measurements within a three-level hierarchy (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3). Classification of a fair value measurement within the hierarchy is dependent on the classification and significance of the inputs used to determine the fair value measurement. Observable inputs are those that are observed, implied from, or corroborated with externally available market information. Unobservable inputs represent the Company’s estimates of market participants’ assumptions.

Fair value measurements are classified in the following manner:

Level 1—Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2—Valuation is based on either observable prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, observable prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are derived directly from, or through correlation to, observable market data at the measurement date.

Level 3—Valuation is based on the Company’s or others’ models using significant unobservable assumptions at the measurement date that a market participant would use.

Table of Contents

In determining fair value measurements, the Company uses observable inputs whenever possible. The level of a fair value measurement within the hierarchy is dependent on the lowest level of input that has a significant impact on the measurement as a whole. If quoted market prices are available at the measurement date or are available for similar instruments, such prices are used in the measurements. If observable market data is not available at the measurement date, judgement is required to measure fair value.

The following is a description of measurement techniques for items recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. There were no material items recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

Mortgage loans at fair value: The Company has elected the fair value option for mortgage loans. Accordingly, the fair values of mortgage loans are based on valuation models that use the market price for similar loans sold in the secondary market. As these prices are derived from market observable inputs, they are categorized as Level 2.

IRLCs: The Company's interest rate lock commitments are derivative instruments that are recorded at fair

value based on valuation models that use the market price for similar loans sold in the secondary market. The interest rate lock

commitments are then subject to an estimated loan funding probability, or “pullthrough rate.” Given the significant and unobservable nature of the pullthrough rate assumption, IRLC fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.

MSRs: The fair value of MSRs is determined using a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows. The model includes estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, cost to service, float earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and ancillary income and late fees, among others. These estimates are supported by market and economic data collected from various outside sources. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.

FLSCs: The Company enters into forward loan sales commitments to sell certain mortgage loans which are recorded at fair value based on valuation models. The Company’s expectation of the amount of its interest rate lock commitments that will ultimately close is a factor in determining the position. The valuation models utilize the fair value of related mortgage loans determined using observable market data, and therefore, the fair value measurements of these commitments are categorized as Level 2.

Investment securities at fair value, pledged: The Company occasionally sells mortgage loans that it originates through private label securitization transactions. In executing these securitizations, the Company sells mortgage loans to a securitization trust for cash and, in some cases, retained interests in the trust. The Company has elected the fair value option for subsequently measuring the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts. The fair value of these investment securities is primarily based on observable market data and therefore categorized as Level 2.

Public and Private Warrants: The fair value of Public Warrants is based on the price of trades of these securities in active markets and therefore categorized as Level 1. The fair value of the Private Warrants is based on observable market data and therefore categorized as Level 2.

Refer to Note 5 - Mortgage Servicing Rights for further information on the unobservable inputs used in measuring the fair value of the Company’s MSRs and for the roll-forward of MSRs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Level 3 Issuances and Transfers

The Company enters into IRLCs which are considered derivatives. If the contract converts to a loan, the implied value, which is solely based upon interest rate changes, is incorporated in the basis of the fair value of the loan. If the IRLC does not convert to a loan, the basis is reduced to zero as the contract has no continuing value. The Company does not track the basis of the individual IRLCs that convert to a loan, as that amount has no relevance to the presented condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair value of the Company's financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis (in thousands):

The fair value of the 2025, 2029 and 2027 Senior Notes was estimated using Level 2 inputs, including observable trading information in inactive markets.

Due to their nature and respective terms (including the variable interest rates on warehouse and other lines of credit and borrowings against investment securities), the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, equipment notes payable, borrowings against investment securities and warehouse and other lines of credit approximate their fair value as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

NOTE 13 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in the following significant related party transactions:

•The Company’s corporate campus is located in buildings and on land that are owned by entities controlled by the Company’s founder and its CEO and leased by the Company from these entities. The Company also makes leasehold improvements to these properties for the benefit of the Company, for which the Company is responsible pursuant to the terms of the lease agreements;

•Legal services are provided to the Company by a law firm in which the Company’s founder is a partner;

•The Company leases aircraft owned by entities controlled by the Company’s CEO to facilitate travel of Company executives for business purposes;

An executive of the Company and a member of the Company's board of directors was also on the board of directors of this home appraisal management company prior to March 31, 2021, the second of which is owned by the CEO's brother who is also a member of the Company's board of directors. Each agreement with the home appraisal management companies is for an initial twelve-month term which automatically renews for successive twelve month periods unless sooner terminated by the Company upon prior notice. Additionally, each such agreement is on substantially similar terms and conditions, including with regard to pricing, as the Company's other agreements for such services;

•Employee lease agreements, pursuant to which the Company’s team members provide certain administrative services to entities controlled by the Company’s founder and its CEO in exchange for fees paid by these entities to the Company.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company made payments of approximately $4.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, to various companies related through common ownership. Such payments were comprised of, (i) with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2022 approximately $4.1 million in rent and other occupancy related fees, $0.2 million in legal fees, and $0.2 million in other general and administrative expenses and (ii) with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2021, approximately $3.3 million in rent and other occupancy related fees, $0.2 million in legal fees, and $0.1 million in other general and administrative expenses.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax expense varies from the expense that would be expected based on statutory rates due principally to its organizational structure, under which the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest is not subject to tax.

Following the closing of the Business Combination Agreement, UWM is treated as single member LLC owned by Holdings LLC. As a single member LLC, all taxable income or loss generated by UWM will pass through and be included in the income or loss of Holdings LLC. Holdings LLC is treated as a partnership for federal and most state and local income tax jurisdictions. Due to its partnership tax treatment, Holdings LLC is not subject to U.S. federal or most state and local incomes taxes. Any taxable income or loss generated by Holdings LLC after the Company’s acquisition of its portion of Holdings LLC is passed through and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including the Company. The Company is a C Corporation and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its attributable share of any taxable income of Holdings LLC. Pursuant to the Holdings LLC Second Amended & Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, Holdings LLC will generally be required to make pro-rata distributions in cash to the Company and to SFS Corp. in amounts sufficient to cover the expected taxes resulting from their allocable share of the taxable income of Holdings LLC.

The tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. Each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of its annual effective tax rate, and if the estimated annual effective tax rate changes, the Company makes a cumulative adjustment in such period. The quarterly tax provision and estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate are subject to variation due to several factors including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), the mix of jurisdictions to which such income relates, changes in how the Company conducts business, and tax law developments.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was 1.44% and 1.04%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.95% and 1.32%, respectively. The variations between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate are primarily due to the portion (approximately 94%) of the Company’s earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, and the fact that the Company's interest in Holdings LLC was acquired as part of the business combination transaction on January 21, 2021.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.

The Company recognizes uncertain income tax positions when it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has not recognized any uncertain tax positions. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the income tax provision. No interest or penalties were recognized in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. The Company may be subject to potential examination by U.S. federal or state jurisdiction authorities in the areas of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income amounts in various tax jurisdictions and compliance with U.S. federal or state tax laws. Both 2019 and 2020 remain open under applicable statute of limitations with relevant taxing authorities.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $5.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, there was $17.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years. On September 1, 2022, the Company granted 2.5 million RSUs to team members with a grant date fair value of $3.60 per share, which vest 25% each year over four years.

NOTE 16 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had two classes of economic shares authorized - Class A and Class B common stock. The Company applies the two-class method for calculating earnings per share for Class A common stock and Class B common stock. In applying the two-class method, the Company allocates undistributed earnings equally on a per share basis between Class A and Class B common stock. According to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the holders of the Class A and Class B common stock are entitled to participate in earnings equally on a per-share basis, as if all shares of common stock were of a single class, and in such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors. RSUs awarded as part of the Company’s stock compensation plan are included in weighted-average Class A shares outstanding in the calculation of basic earnings per share once the RSUs are vested and shares are issued.

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to UWM Holdings Corporation by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock, respectively, outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities. See Note 10, Non-Controlling Interests for a description of the Stapled Interests. Refer to Note 1 - Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - for additional information related to the Company's capital structure.

Earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is based on earnings for the period from January 21, 2021 to September 30, 2021, which represents the period in which the Company had outstanding Class A common stock. There was no Class B common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2022 or September 30, 2021.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

Earnings per share of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted	$	0.13	$	0.16	$	0.45	$	0.55

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, it was assumed that the 1,502,069,787 shares of Class D common stock were exchanged for Class B common stock and converted to Class A common stock under the if-converted method, and it was determined that the conversion would be anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Under the if-converted method, all of the Company's net income for the applicable periods is attributable to Class A common shareholders. The net income of the Company under the if-converted method is calculated including a tax provision which is determined using a blended statutory effective tax rate.

The Public and Private Warrants were not in the money and the triggering events for the issuance of earn-out shares were not met during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021. Therefore, these potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. Unvested RSUs have been considered in the calculations of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 using the treasury stock method and the impact was either anti-dilutive or immaterial.

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share on the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. The dividend is payable on January 10, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 9, 2022. Additionally, the Board approved a proportional distribution to SFS Corp. of $150.2 million which is payable on January 10, 2023 .

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Form 10-Q”). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, risks and uncertainties discussed under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” in this report and in Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, when used in this Form 10-Q, the term “UWM” means United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC and “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to UWM Holdings Corporation and our subsidiaries.

Business Overview

In the third quarter of 2022, we were the largest residential mortgage lender in the U.S., originating mortgage loans exclusively through the wholesale channel. With a culture of continuous innovation of technology and enhanced client experience, we lead our market by building upon our proprietary and exclusively licensed technology platforms, superior service and focused partnership with the independent mortgage broker community. We originate primarily conforming and government loans across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. For the last seven years, including the year ended December 31, 2021, we have been the largest wholesale mortgage lender in the U.S. by closed loan volume, with approximately 33% market share of the wholesale channel for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (based on the most recent data released by Inside Mortgage Finance).

Our mortgage origination business derives revenue from originating, processing and underwriting primarily Government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE") conforming mortgage loans, along with FHA, USDA and VA mortgage loans, which are subsequently pooled and sold in the secondary market. During the second quarter of 2021, we began selling pools of originated mortgage loans through private label securitization transactions, although there have been no loan sales through private label securitization transactions in 2022. The mortgage origination process generally begins with a borrower entering into an IRLC with us that is arranged by an independent mortgage advisor, pursuant to which we have committed to enter into a mortgage at specified interest rates and terms within a specified period of time with a borrower who has applied for a loan and met certain credit and underwriting criteria. As we have committed to providing a mortgage loan at a specific interest rate, we hedge that risk by selling forward-settling mortgage-backed securities and FLSCs in the To Be Announced ("TBA") market. When the mortgage loan is closed, we fund the loan with approximately 2-3%, on average, of our own funds and the remainder with funds drawn under one of our warehouse facilities (except when we opt to "self-warehouse" in which case we use our cash to fund the entire loan). As of September 30, 2022, the self-warehouse amount was $61.3 million. At that point, the mortgage loan is legally owned by our warehouse facility lender and is subject to our repurchase right (other than when we self-warehouse). When we have identified a pool of mortgage loans to sell to the agencies, non-governmental entities, or through our private label securitization transactions, we repurchase loans not already owned by us from our warehouse lender and sell the pool of mortgage loans into the secondary market, but in most instances retain the mortgage servicing rights, or MSRs, associated with those loans. We retain MSRs for a period of time depending on business and liquidity considerations. When we sell MSRs, we typically sell them in the bulk MSR secondary market.

Our unique model, focusing exclusively on the wholesale channel, results in what we believe to be complete alignment with our clients and superior customer service arising from our investments in people and technology that has driven demand for our services from our clients.

Components of Revenue

We generate revenue from the following three components of the loan origination business: (i) loan production income, (ii) loan servicing income, and (iii) interest income.

Loan production income. Loan production income includes all components related to the origination and sale of mortgage loans, including:

Table of Contents

• primary gain, which represents the premium we may receive in excess of the loan principal amount adjusted for previous fair value adjustments, and certain fees charged by investors upon sale of loans into the secondary market. When the mortgage loan is sold into the secondary market, any difference between the proceeds received and the current fair value of the loan is recognized in current period earnings;

• loan origination fees we charge to originate a loan, which generally represent flat, per-loan fee amounts;

• provision for representation and warranty obligations, which represent the reserves established for our estimated liabilities associated with the potential repurchase or indemnity of purchasers of loans previously sold due to representation and warranty claims by investors. Included within these reserves are amounts for estimated liabilities for requirements to repay a portion of any premium received from investors on the sale of certain loans if such loans are repaid in their entirety within a specified time period after the sale of the loans;

• the change in fair value of IRLCs, FLSCs and recorded loans on the balance sheet, due to changes in estimated fair value, driven primarily by interest rates but also influenced by other assumptions; and

•capitalization of MSRs, representing the estimated fair value of newly originated MSRs when loans are sold and the associated servicing rights are retained.

Compensation earned by our clients, Independent Mortgage Advisors, is included in the cost of the loans we originate, and therefore netted within loan production income.

Loan servicing income. Loan servicing income consists of the contractual fees earned for servicing the loans and includes ancillary revenue such as late fees and modification incentives. Loan servicing income is recorded upon collection of payments from borrowers.

Interest income. Interest income represents interest earned on mortgage loans at fair value.

Components of Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses include salaries, commissions and benefits, direct loan production costs, marketing, travel and entertainment, depreciation and amortization, servicing costs, general and administrative (including professional services, occupancy and equipment), interest expense, and other expense/(income) (primarily related to the decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of the liability for the Public and Private Warrants, the decrease or increase, respectively, in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, and the increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value of retained investment securities).

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 Summary

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we originated $33.5 billion in residential mortgage loans, which was a decrease of $29.5 billion, or 47%, from the three months ended September 30, 2021. We generated $325.6 million of net income during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was a decrease of $4.2 million, or 1.3%, compared to net income of $329.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was a loss of $1.4 million as compared to income of $290.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for a detailed discussion of how we define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we originated $102.2 billion in residential mortgage loans, which was a decrease of $69.2 billion, or 40%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2021. We generated $994.3 million of net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which was a decrease of $334.2 million, or 25.2%, compared to net income of $1.33 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $222.0 million as compared to $1.21 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section below for a detailed discussion of how we define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by U.S. GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure, which our management believes provides useful information on our performance to investors. This measure is not a measurement of our financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and it may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not

Table of Contents

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, stock-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation inputs or assumptions, the impact of non-cash deferred compensation expense, the change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants, the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, and the change in fair value of retained investment securities. We exclude the change in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, the change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants, the change in fair value of retained investment securities, and the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation inputs or assumptions as these represent non-cash, non-realized adjustments to our earnings, which is 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. Non-funding debt includes the Company's senior notes, lines of credit, borrowings against investment securities, equipment notes payable, and finance leases.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance, and it is one of the measures used by our management for planning and forecasting future periods. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by our management and may make it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

Loan production income was $172.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $417.1 million, or 70.8%, as compared to $589.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in loan production income was primarily driven by a decrease in loan production volume and a decrease in gain margin. Loan production volume decreased $29.5 billion, or 47%, from $63.0 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to $33.5 billion for the same period in 2022. The decline in loan production volume was primarily driven by a rising interest rate environment during the period, which led to lower refinance volume. Additionally, gain margin decreased by 42 basis points, from 94 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to 52 basis points for the same period in 2022. The

Table of Contents

decrease in gain margin was primarily due to a decrease in primary/secondary mortgage interest rate spreads, which were impacted by a pricing initiative launched near the beginning of the third quarter of 2022, aimed at long-term growth of the wholesale channel and our market share. MSR capitalization increased slightly resulting from the rising interest rate environment and more retained excess servicing in the third quarter of 2022.

Loan production income was $852.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.29 billion, or 60.2%, as compared to $2.14 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in loan production income was primarily driven by a decrease in loan production volume, along with a decrease of 42 basis points in gain margin, from 125 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 83 basis points for the same period in 2022. Loan production volume decreased $69.2 billion, or 40%, from $171.3 billion to $102.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to lower refinance volume as a result of the higher primary mortgage interest rate environment that has developed in 2022. The decrease in gain margin from the prior year period was due to the same reasons mentioned in the three months analysis.

Loan servicing income was $196.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $22.1 million, or 12.6%, as compared to $174.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in loan servicing income during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily driven by the increased average servicing portfolio.

Loan servicing income was $574.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $131.1 million, or 29.5%, as compared to $443.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in loan servicing income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to the same reasons mentioned in the three months analysis.

Change in Fair Value of Mortgage Servicing Rights

The change in fair value of MSRs was a net increase of $236.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared with a net decrease of $170.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The change in fair value for

Table of Contents

the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $373.2 million due to changes in valuation inputs/assumptions, mainly as a result of higher interest rates, partially offset by a decline in fair value of approximately $127.4 million due to realization of cash flows and decay (including loans paid in full) and approximately $9.1 million of reserves and transaction costs for bulk sales of MSRs. The decline in fair value for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to declines of approximately $217.0 million due to realization of cash flows and decay (including loans paid in full) and $14.9 million of reserves and transaction costs for bulk sales of MSRs, offset by an increase of approximately $61.5 million due to changes in valuation inputs/assumptions.

The change in fair value of MSRs was a net increase of $434.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared with a net decrease of $448.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $940.7 million due to changes in valuation inputs/assumptions, mainly as a result of higher interest rates, partially offset by a decline in fair value of approximately $458.7 million due to realization of cash flows and decay (including loans paid in full) and approximately $47.0 million of reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales. The net decrease in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of approximately $433.9 million, was attributable to declines of approximately $655.2 million due to realization of cash flows and decay (including loans paid in full) and approximately $14.9 million of reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales, offset by an increase of approximately $221.2 million resulting from changes in valuation inputs/assumptions, such as changes in interest rates.

Interest income

Interest income was $78.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $23.9 million, or 23.4%, as compared to $102.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily driven by decreases in the average balances of mortgage loans at fair value, partially offset by higher interest rates compared to the prior year period.

Interest income was $207.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $19.5 million, or 8.6%, as compared to $227.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in average balances of mortgage loans at fair value, partially offset by higher interest rates compared to the prior year period.

Total expenses

Total expenses were $353.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 0.9%, as compared to $357.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries, commissions and benefits of $29.9 million, or 18.2%, resulting from decreases in incentive compensation (primarily bonuses and commissions), attributable to decreased loan production and a decrease in the average number of team members. Interest expense also decreased $17.1 million primarily due to the lower interest expense on warehouse borrowings from decreased loan production and loans at fair value, partially offset by increases in interest expense on the $500.0 million of 2027 Senior Notes issued in November 2021. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expense of $12.5 million, due primarily to an increase in the representations and warranties reserve resulting from changes in estimates. Servicing costs increased $8.4 million, resulting from the increase in the average servicing portfolio and additional loss mitigation expenses. Other expense/(income) increased $15.4 million, primarily due to a decline in the fair value of investment securities retained from the private label securitization transactions executed during the second half of 2021, and a smaller decline in the fair value of the Public and Private Warrants. Marketing, travel and entertainment expenses increased $3.6 million, due to increased broker promotions, advertising and brand marketing costs.

Total expenses were $1.07 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $47.8 million, or 4.7%, as compared to $1.02 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in servicing costs of $56.4 million due to the same reasons mentioned above. Other expense/(income) increased $51.3 million, primarily due to decline in fair value of retained investment securities and a smaller decline in the fair value of the Public and Private Warrants. General and administrative expenses increased $33.0 million, primarily as a result of a reduction of a contingency reserve which was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and an increase in the representations and warranties reserve recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 resulting from changes in estimates. Direct loan production costs increased $25.3 million primarily due to a change in presentation whereby certain loan origination fees are being presented on a gross basis (within loan production income and direct loan production costs) beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, offset by a decrease in production volume. Marketing, travel and entertainment expenses increased $14.1 million for the same reasons mentioned above. These increases in expenses were partially offset by a decrease in salaries, commissions and benefits of $116.4 million, or 21.1%, primarily attributable to the same reasons mentioned in the above analysis, and a decrease in interest expense of $24.8 million due to the lower interest expense on warehouse borrowings from decreased loan production and loans at fair value, offset by increased interest expense on the senior notes, including the

2027 Senior Notes which were not yet issued as of the end of the prior year period, all of which were outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Income Taxes

We recorded a $4.8 million provision for income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a provision for income taxes of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. We recorded a $9.6 million provision for income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a provision for income taxes of $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decreases in income tax provision year-over-year were primarily due to the decreases in pre-tax income attributable to the Company.

Net income

Net income was $325.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $4.2 million or 1.3%, as compared to $329.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of the decrease in total revenue, net of $6.1 million, partially offset by a net decrease in total expenses (including income taxes) of $1.9 million, as further described above.

Net income was $994.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $334.2 million or 25.2%, as compared to $1.33 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of a decrease in total revenue, net of $294.6 million, and a net increase in total expenses (including income taxes) of $39.6 million, as further described above.

Net income attributable to the Company of $11.7 million and $42.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and net income attributable to the Company of $25.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the net income of UWM attributable to the Company due to its approximate 6% ownership interest in Holdings LLC for these respective periods. Net income attributable to the Company of $81.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 reflects the net income of UWM attributable to the Company due to its approximate 6% ownership interest in Holdings LLC for the period from January 21, 2021 through September 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have included:

•borrowings including under our warehouse facilities and other financing facilities;

•cash flow from operations and investing activities, including:

◦sale or securitization of loans into the secondary market;

◦loan origination fees;

◦servicing fee income;

◦interest income on mortgage loans; and

◦sale of MSRs.

Historically, our primary uses of funds have included:

•origination of loans;

•retention of MSRs from our loan sales;

•payment of interest expense;

•payment of operating expenses; and

•dividends on, and repurchases of, our Class A common stock and distributions to SFS Corp.

We are also subject to contingencies which may have a significant impact on the use of our cash.

Table of Contents

To originate and aggregate loans for sale or securitization into the secondary market, we use our own working capital and borrow or obtain funding on a short-term basis primarily through uncommitted and committed warehouse facilities that we have established with large global banks, regional or specialized banks and certain agencies.

We continually evaluate our capital structure and capital resources to optimize our leverage and profitability and take advantage of market opportunities. As part of such evaluation, we regularly review our levels of indebtedness and available equity, our strategic investments, including technology and growth of the wholesale channel, the availability or desirability of growth through the acquisition of other companies or other mortgage portfolios, the repurchase or redemption of our outstanding indebtedness, or repurchases of our common stock or common stock derivatives.

Recent Developments

In accordance with the National Housing Act (NHA), as amended by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, the FHA and FHFA are required to annually set single family forward mortgage loan limits based on median house prices. To allow our Independent Mortgage Advisors to provide borrowers with higher loan amounts with better pricing, in anticipation of the increase for 2023, we raised the loan limits on conforming loans that we originate to $715,000 effective September 7, 2022. We adopted a similar strategy in 2021 with respect to the increased loan limits for 2022. Much like prior years, we expect that FHA and FHFA will announce the actual conforming loan limits for 2023 on or before December 1, 2022. As a result of our early adoption of the higher loan size limits, we will be holding conforming loans originated with principal balances between $625,000 (the 2022 cap in most areas, and in those high balance areas where there is a higher cap, we will be selling conforming loans in the normal course) and $715,000 through January 2023 when these loans are intended to be sold to the GSEs. As a result of this strategy, our outstanding loan balances and the amounts outstanding under our warehouse lines are expected to materially increase through the remainder of 2022 (as they did in the fourth quarter of 2021). However, these balances and amounts are expected to return to more normalized levels when these loans are sold to the GSEs in early 2023 (as they did in the first quarter of 2022).

Loan Funding Facilities

Warehouse facilities

Our warehouse facilities, which are our primary loan funding facilities used to fund the origination of our mortgage loans, are primarily in the form of master repurchase agreements. Loans financed under these facilities are generally financed, on average, at approximately 97% to 98% of the principal balance of the loan, which requires us to fund the remaining 2-3% of the unpaid principal balance from cash generated from our operations. Once closed, the underlying residential mortgage loan is pledged as collateral for the borrowing or advance that was made under these loan funding facilities. In most cases, the loans we originate will remain in one of our warehouse facilities for less than one month, until the loans are pooled and sold. During the time we hold the loans pending sale, we earn interest income from the borrower on the underlying mortgage loan note. This income is partially offset by the interest and fees we have to pay under the warehouse facilities. Interest rates under the warehouse facilities are typically based on one-month LIBOR plus a spread. As of September 30, 2022, nine of our warehouse facility agreements had been amended to change the reference interest rate from LIBOR to variants of SOFR. We expect the remaining warehouse facilities to transition from LIBOR to a different reference interest rate at some point in 2022 due to the pending discontinuation of LIBOR.

When we sell or securitize a pool of loans, the proceeds we receive from the sale or securitization of the loans are used to pay back the amounts we owe on the warehouse facilities. The remaining funds received then become available to be re-advanced to originate additional loans. We are dependent on the cash generated from the sale or securitization of loans to fund future loans and repay borrowings under our warehouse facilities. Delays or failures to sell or securitize loans in the secondary market could have an adverse effect on our liquidity position.

From a cash flow perspective, the vast majority of cash received from mortgage originations occurs at the point the loans are sold or securitized into the secondary market. The vast majority of servicing fee income relates to the retained servicing fee on the loans, where cash is received monthly over the life of the loan and is a product of the borrowers’ current unpaid principal balance multiplied by the weighted average service fee. For a given mortgage loan, servicing revenue from the retained servicing fee declines over time as the principal balance of the loan is reduced.

The amount of financing advanced to us under our warehouse facilities, as determined by agreed upon advance rates, may be less than the stated advance rate depending, in part, on the fair value of the mortgage loans securing the financings and premium we pay the broker. Each of our warehouse facilities allows the bank extending the advances to evaluate regularly the market value of the underlying loans that are serving as collateral. If a bank determines that the value of the collateral has decreased, the bank can require us to provide additional collateral (e.g., initiate a margin call) or reduce the amount outstanding

Table of Contents

with respect to the corresponding loan. Our inability to satisfy the request could result in the termination of the facility and, depending on the terms of our agreements, possibly result in a default being declared under our other warehouse facilities.

Warehouse lenders generally conduct daily evaluations of the adequacy of the underlying collateral for the warehouse loans based on the fair value of the mortgage loans. As the loans are generally financed at 97% to 98% of principal balance and our loans are typically outstanding on warehouse lines for short periods (e.g., less than one month), significant increases in market interest rates would be required for us to experience margin calls or requirements to reduce the amount outstanding with respect to the corresponding loan from a majority of our warehouse lenders. Four of our warehouse lines advance based on the fair value of the loans, rather than principal balance. For those lines, we exchange collateral for modest changes in value. As of September 30, 2022, there was $4.9 million of outstanding exchanges of collateral.

The amount owed and outstanding on our warehouse facilities fluctuates based on our origination volume, the amount of time it takes us to sell the loans we originate, our cash on hand, and our ability to obtain additional financing. From time to time, we will increase or decrease the size of the lines to reflect anticipated increases or decreases in volume, strategies regarding the timing of sales of mortgages to the GSEs or secondary markets and costs associated with not utilizing the lines. We reserve the right to arrange for the early payment of outstanding loans and advances from time to time. As we accumulate loans, a significant portion of our total warehouse facilities may be utilized to fund loans.

The table below reflects the current line amounts of our principal warehouse facilities and the amounts advanced against those lines as of September 30, 2022:

Covenants

Table of Contents

Our warehouse facilities generally require us to comply with certain operating and financial covenants and the availability of funds under these facilities is subject to, among other conditions, our continued compliance with these covenants. These financial covenants include, but are not limited to, maintaining (i) a certain minimum tangible net worth, (ii) minimum liquidity, (iii) a maximum ratio of total liabilities or total debt to tangible net worth, and (iv) pre-tax net income requirements. A breach of these covenants can result in an event of default under these facilities and as such would allow the lenders to pursue certain remedies. In addition, each of these facilities, as well as our unsecured lines of credit, includes cross default or cross acceleration provisions that could result in all facilities terminating if an event of default or acceleration of maturity occurs under any facility. We were in compliance with all covenants under these facilities as of September 30, 2022.

We were in compliance with the terms of these indentures as of September 30, 2022.

MSR Facility

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, N.A., providing UWM with up to $1.5 billion of uncommitted borrowing capacity to finance the origination, acquisition or holding of certain mortgage servicing rights (the “MSR Facility”). The MSR Facility is collateralized by all of UWM's mortgage servicing rights that are appurtenant to mortgage loans pooled in securitization by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac that meet certain criteria. Available borrowings under the MSR Facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral, and borrowings under the MSR Facility will bear interest based on one-month term SOFR plus an applicable margin. No amounts were outstanding under the MSR Facility as of September 30, 2022. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we drew $500.0 million on the MSR Facility.

The MSR Facility contains covenants which include certain financial requirements, including maintenance of minimum tangible net worth, minimum liquidity, maximum debt to net worth ratio, and net income as defined in the agreement. As of September 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all applicable debt covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility

On August 8, 2022, UWM entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement, between UWM, as the borrower, and SFS Corp., as the lender. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, a $500.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility has an initial maturity date of August 8, 2023. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time, and accrue interest at the Applicable Prime Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). UWM may utilize the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with: (i) operational and investment activities, including but not limited to funding and/or advances related to (a) servicing rights, (b) ‘scratch and dent’ loans, (c) margin requirements, and (d) equity in loans held for sale; and (ii) general corporate purposes.

Borrowings Against Investment Securities

In 2021, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, began selling some of the mortgage loans that it originates through private label securitization transactions. In executing these transactions, the Company sells mortgage loans to a securitization trust for cash and, in some cases, retained interests in the trust. The securitization entities are funded through the issuance of beneficial interests in the securitized assets. The beneficial interests take the form of trust certificates, some of which are sold to investors and some of which may be retained by the Company due to regulatory requirements. The Company entered into sale and repurchase agreements for a portion of the retained beneficial interests in the securitization trusts established to facilitate its private label securitization transactions which have been accounted for as borrowings against investment securities. As of September 30, 2022, we had $114.9 million outstanding under individual trades executed pursuant to a master repurchase agreement with a counterparty which is collateralized by the investment securities (beneficial interests in the trusts) that we retained due to regulatory requirements. The borrowings against investment securities have remaining terms ranging from one to eleven months as of September 30, 2022, and interest rates based on twelve-month LIBOR or SOFR plus a spread. We intend to renew these sale and repurchase agreements upon their maturity during the required holding period for the retained investment securities.

The counterparty under these sale and repurchase agreements conducts daily evaluations of the adequacy of the underlying collateral based on the fair value of the retained investment securities less specified haircuts. These investment securities are financed on average at approximately 80% of the outstanding principal balance, and exchanges of cash collateral are required if the fair value of the retained investment securities less the haircut is less than the principal balance plus accrued

Table of Contents

interest on the secured borrowings. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had delivered $14.7 million of collateral to counterparty under these sale and repurchase agreements.

Finance Leases

As of September 30, 2022, our finance lease liabilities were $46.9 million, $28.2 million of which relates to leases with related parties. The Company’s financing lease agreements have remaining terms ranging from approximately one month to fourteen years.

Cash flow data for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021


	For the nine months ended September 30,
($ in thousands)	2022		2021
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	10,812,822	$	(3,753,859)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	1,144,576		189,569
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(11,888,952)		3,291,363
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	68,446	$	(272,927)
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period	799,534		950,910

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $10.81 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.75 billion for the same period in 2021. The increase in cash flows from operating activities was primarily driven by the decrease in mortgage loans at fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the increase in mortgage loans and fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, partially offset by a decrease in net income in for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, adjusted for non-cash items. The early roll-out of increased conforming loan size limits and the aggregation of loans for private label securitization transactions materially increased mortgage loans at fair value as of December 31, 2021, which were sold in early January 2022, returning the mortgage loans at fair value balance to a more normalized level as of September 30, 2022.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.14 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $189.6 million of net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2021. The increase in cash flows provided by investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in proceeds from the sales of MSRs.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $11.89 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $3.29 billion for the same period in 2021. The change year over year was primarily driven by net repayments under the warehouse lines of credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily attributable to the decrease in loans at fair value, as compared to net borrowings under the warehouse lines of credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to the increase in loans at fair value. The nine months ended September 30, 2021 also included the impacts of the business combination transaction (net proceeds and higher distributions to SFS Corp.), proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes and the repayment of the secured line of credit.

The early roll-out of increased conforming loan size limits and the aggregation of loans for private label securitization transactions materially increased the warehouse line of credit balances as of December 31, 2021, which were paid down in early January 2022 in connection with the sale of the mortgage loans, returning these balances to more normalized levels throughout the year, including as of September 30, 2022.

Contractual Obligations

Cash requirements from contractual and other obligations

As of September 30, 2022, our material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations include interest and principal payments under our Senior Notes, principal payments under our borrowings against investment securities, and payments under our financing and operating lease agreements. In the third quarter of 2022, UWM entered into the MSR

Table of Contents

Facility, which provides for up to $1.5 billion of available borrowing capacity secured by certain MSRs, and the Revolving Credit Agreement with SFS Corp., which provides for up to $500 million of unsecured borrowing capacity. No amounts were outstanding under either of these agreements as of September 30, 2022. There have been no other material changes in the cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations since December 31, 2021.

During the third quarter of 2022, the Board declared a dividend of $0.10 per share of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate of $9.3 million. Concurrently with this declaration, the Board, in its capacity as the Manager of Holdings LLC, under the Holdings LLC Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, approved a proportional distribution of $150.2 million from Holdings LLC to SFS Corp. with respect to the Class B Units of Holdings LLC. The dividend and the distribution were paid on October 7, 2022.

The sources of funds needed to satisfy these cash requirements include cash flows from operations and investing activities, including cash flows from sales of MSRs, sale or securitization of loans into the secondary market, loan origination fees, servicing fee income, and interest income on mortgage loans.

Repurchase and indemnification obligations

Loans sold to investors which we believe met investor and agency underwriting guidelines at the time of sale may be subject to repurchase in the event of specific default by the borrower or subsequent discovery that underwriting or documentation standards were not explicitly satisfied. We establish a reserve which is estimated based on our assessment of its contingent and non-contingent obligations, including expected losses, expected frequency, the overall potential remaining exposure, as well as an estimate for a market participant’s potential readiness to stand by to perform on such obligations. See Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Interest rate lock commitments, loan sale and forward commitments

In the normal course of business, we are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit to borrowers at either fixed or floating interest rates. IRLCs are binding agreements to lend to a borrower at a specified interest rate within a specified period of time as long as there is no violation of conditions established in the contract. Forward commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses which may require payment of a fee. As many of the commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. In addition, we have contracts to sell mortgage loans into the secondary market at specified future dates (commitments to sell loans), and forward commitments to sell MBS at specified future dates and interest rates.

Following is a summary of the notional amounts of commitments as of dates indicated:


($ in thousands)	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Interest rate lock commitments—fixed rate (a)	$	9,895,467	$	13,402,401
Interest rate lock commitments—variable rate (a)	29,568		48,566
Commitments to sell loans	718,805		3,130,203
Forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities	13,860,447		25,756,975

(a)Adjusted for pullthrough rates of 78% and 86%, respectively.

As of September 30, 2022, we had sold $1.8 billion of loans to a global insured depository institution and assigned the related trades to deliver the applicable loans into securities for end investors for settlement in October 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Use of Significant Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We have identified certain accounting estimates as being critical because they require management's judgement to make difficult, subjective or complex judgements about matters that are uncertain. Actual results could differ and the use of other assumptions or estimates could result in material differences in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our critical accounting policies and estimates relate to accounting for mortgage loans held at fair value and revenue recognition, mortgage servicing rights, derivative financial instruments and representations and warranties reserve. There were no significant changes to our policies,

methodologies, or processes used in applying our critical accounting estimates from what was described in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

In the normal course of business, we are subject to a variety of risks which can affect our operations and profitability. We broadly define these areas of risk as interest rate, credit and counterparty risk.

Interest rate risk

We are subject to interest rate risk which may impact our origination volume and associated revenue, MSR valuations, IRLCs and mortgage loans at fair value valuations, and the net interest margin derived from our funding facilities. The fair value of MSRs is driven primarily by interest rates, which impact expected prepayments. In periods of rising interest rates, the fair value of the MSRs generally increases as expected prepayments decrease, consequently extending the estimated life of the MSRs resulting in expected increases in cash flows. In a declining interest rate environment, the fair value of MSRs generally decreases as expected prepayments increase consequently truncating the estimated life of the MSRs resulting in expected decreases in cash flows. Because origination volumes tend to increase in declining interest rate environments and decrease in increasing rate environments, we believe that servicing provides a natural hedge to our origination business. We do not specifically hedge MSRs but manage the economic risk through partially offsetting impact of servicing and mortgaging originations.

Our IRLCs and mortgage loans at fair value are exposed to interest rate volatility. During the origination, pooling, and delivery process, this pipeline value rises and falls with changes in interest rates. Because substantially all of our production is deliverable to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae, we predominately utilize forward agency or Ginnie Mae To Be Announced ("TBA") securities as our primary hedge instrument. The TBA market is a secondary market where FLSCs or TBAs are sold by lenders seeking to hedge the risk that market interest rates may change and lock in a price for the mortgages they are in the process of originating.

Interest rate risk also occurs in periods where changes in short-term interest rates result in mortgage loans being originated with terms that provide a smaller interest rate spread above the financing terms of our warehouse facilities, which can negatively impact our net interest income. This is primarily mitigated through expedited sale of our loans.

We assess our market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis measures the potential impact on fair values based on hypothetical changes (increases and decreases) in interest rates. Our total market risk is influenced by a wide variety of factors including market volatility and the liquidity of the markets. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analysis presented, including the necessity to conduct the analysis based on a single point in time and the inability to include the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the market shifts

Table of Contents

modeled. We used September 30, 2022 market rates on our instruments to perform the sensitivity analysis. These sensitivities are hypothetical and presented for illustrative purposes only. Changes in fair value based on variations in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated to our performance because the relationship of the change in fair value may not be linear nor does it factor ongoing operations. The following table summarizes the estimated change in the fair value of our mortgage loans at fair value, MSRs, IRLCs and FLSCs as of September 30, 2022 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. Actual results could differ materially.


	September 30, 2022
($ in thousands)	Down 25 bps		Up 25 bps
Increase (decrease) in assets
Mortgage loans at fair value	$	45,397	$	(46,538)
MSRs	(71,216)		65,456
IRLCs	82,435		(87,403)
Total change in assets	$	56,616	$	(68,485)
Increase (decrease) in liabilities
FLSCs	$	(129,720)	$	133,055
Total change in liabilities	$	(129,720)	$	133,055

Credit risk

We are subject to credit risk, which is the risk of default that results from a borrower’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required mortgage payments. While our loans are sold into the secondary market without recourse, we do have repurchase and indemnification obligations to investors for breaches under our loan sale agreements. For loans that were repurchased or not sold in the secondary market, we are subject to credit risk to the extent a borrower defaults and the proceeds upon ultimate foreclosure and liquidation of the property are insufficient to cover the amount of the mortgage loan plus expenses incurred. We believe that this risk is mitigated through the implementation of stringent underwriting standards, strong fraud detection tools and technology designed to comply with applicable laws and our standards. In addition, we believe that this risk is mitigated through the quality of our loan portfolio. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our originated loans had a weighted average loan to value ratio of 82.12% and 78.84%, and a weighted average FICO score of 736 and 738, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, our originated loans had a weighted average loan to value ratio of 71.87% and 71.24%, and a weighted average FICO score of 747 and 751, respectively.

Counterparty risk

We are subject to risk that arises from our financing facilities and interest rate risk hedging activities. These activities generally involve an exchange of obligations with unaffiliated banks or companies, referred to in such transactions as “counterparties.” If a counterparty were to default, we could potentially be exposed to financial loss if such counterparty were unable to meet its obligations to us. We manage this risk by selecting only counterparties that we believe to be financially strong, spreading the risk among many such counterparties, limiting singular credit exposures on the amount of unsecured credit extended to any single counterparty, and entering into master netting agreements with the counterparties as appropriate.

In accordance with the best practices outlines by The Treasury Market Practices Group, we execute Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association trading agreements with all material trading partners. Each such agreement provides for an exchange of margin money should either party’s exposure exceed a predetermined contractual limit. Such margin requirements limit our overall counterparty exposure. The master netting agreements contain a legal right to offset amounts due to and from the same counterparty. We incurred no losses due to nonperformance by any of our counterparties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 or September 30, 2021.

Also, in the case of our financing facilities, we are subject to risk if the counterparty chooses not to renew a borrowing agreement and we are unable to obtain financing to originate mortgage loans. With our financing facilities, we seek to mitigate this risk by ensuring that we have sufficient borrowing capacity with a variety of well-established counterparties to meet our funding needs as well as fostering long-term relationships.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Table of Contents

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based upon their evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We operate in a heavily regulated industry that is highly sensitive to consumer protection, and we are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws. We are routinely involved in consumer complaints, regulatory actions and legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. We are also routinely involved in state regulatory audits and examinations, and occasionally involved in other governmental proceedings arising in connection with our respective business. The resolution of these matters, including the matters specifically described below, is not currently expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, financial performance or cash flows.

On December 11, 2020, a complaint was filed against UWM (f/k/a United Shore Financial Services, LLC) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan by three independent mortgage brokers. The plaintiffs in this matter sought class certification and monetary damages for alleged unpaid origination fees arising from a change in UWM’s commission policy. Following the Court’s opinion granting in part and denying in part UWM’s motion to dismiss, UWM filed its answer to the complaint on April 11, 2022. On October 11, 2022, an Order was issued by the Court dismissing the case with prejudice.

On April 23, 2021, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida against the Company and Mat Ishbia, individually by The Okavage Group, LLC ("Okavage") on behalf of itself and all other mortgage brokers who are, or have been clients of UWM and either Fairway Independent Mortgage or Rocket Pro TPO. After the Company and Mat Ishbia filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, Okavage filed a motion for leave to amend its complaint on August 2, 2021, and on August 3, 2021, the Court granted Okavage's motion and ordered the clerk to file Plaintiff’s First Amended Class Action Complaint with its corresponding attachments. In its amended complaint, Okavage dropped the Company as a defendant and added UWM as a defendant. Okavage purports to represent the same set of mortgage brokers as in its original complaint and alleges that UWM’s new policy to no longer enter into new transactions with independent mortgage brokers who also sold mortgage loans to these two market participants amounted to anticompetitive conduct under federal and Florida antitrust laws. Okavage seeks class certification, treble damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief. We filed a renewed motion to dismiss on September 7, 2021. On July 27, 2022, the magistrate judge assigned to consider our motion to dismiss recommended that the amended complaint be dismissed in its entirety without prejudice, and that plaintiff be given fourteen days to file a second amended complaint if it so chooses. On September 26, 2022, an Order was issued by the Court holding in abeyance our renewed motion to dismiss and providing that the plaintiff file, on or before October 21, 2022, a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, or rest upon the allegations stated in its first amended complaint. On October 21, 2022, the plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend its first amended complaint which remains pending.

On February 3, 2022, UWM filed a complaint against America’s Moneyline, Inc. (“AML”), a former client, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief. The complaint alleges that AML breached the parties’ wholesale broker agreement by submitting mortgage loans and mortgage loan applications to certain select retail lenders. On February 25, 2022, AML filed its answer to the complaint and included certain counterclaims, including fraud and misrepresentation, against UWM. Our motion to dismiss the counterclaims is currently pending.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Share Repurchase Program

Table of Contents

On May 9, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $300.0 million in aggregate value of the Company’s Class A common stock effective May 11, 2021. The share repurchase program authorizes the Company to repurchase shares of the Company’s Class A common stock from time to time, in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, at management's discretion based on market and business conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. Shares purchased will be retired. The program will expire on May 11, 2023 unless otherwise modified or terminated by the Company's Board of Directors at any time in the Company's sole discretion.

There were no repurchases of the Company’s shares of its outstanding Class A common stock during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining amount authorized under the share repurchase program was $218.4 million.
