Company Highlights

— On February 26, 2026, Rocket Companies and Compass International Holdings announced a three-year strategic alliance to expand housing inventory and create a more streamlined and affordable home buying and selling experience for American families. As part of the partnership, Redfin becomes a home search partner for Compass, giving Redfin users access to Compass’s Private Exclusive and Coming Soon listings. The alliance also expands Redfin and Rocket Mortgage’s distribution footprint with Compass’s approximately 340,000 agents. Rocket Mortgage becomes Compass’s digital mortgage partner, delivering value to home buyers through our preferred pricing bundle, which will include offers such as 1 percentage point off the mortgage rate in the first year, or up to $6,000 reduction in closing costs for home buyers.

— Effective February 26, 2026, Rocket Companies’ CFO Brian Brown will assume the role of President, in addition to continuing as CFO and Treasurer. In this role, Brian will continue to lead the Finance team, while also expanding his duties to include the strategic development of growth strategies across the enterprise. In addition, Kurt Johnson, formerly CFO of Mr. Cooper, has been named Deputy CFO of Rocket Companies. In this role, Kurt will report to Brian and lead the day-to-day activities of FP&A and Accounting, among other finance functions.

— Since closing the Redfin and Mr. Cooper acquisitions in July and October 2025, respectively, integration efforts have paced ahead of plan. Redfin has fully realized $140 million in expense synergies in less than six months after close. Expense synergies for Mr. Cooper are expected to be fully realized ahead of the original end-of-2027 target. Additionally, Rocket and Mr. Cooper are now united under the Rocket digital experience and the Rocket brand, a key integration milestone.

— Purchase market share expanded to 5.5% in Q4 2025, up from 3.8% the year prior, made possible by our scaled top of funnel home search and distribution advantage with loan officers, mortgage broker partners and correspondent lenders and network of real estate agents.

— In February 2026, Rocket Mortgage launched fully digital purchase pre-approvals, building on the fully digital refinance experience released in July 2025. Homebuyers can now complete the entire process online 24/7 through a convenient chat interface with no loan officer intervention required, allowing loan officers to spend more time with qualified clients where their expertise matters. Since launch, fully digital pre-approvals have lead to 2.5x higher conversion rates compared to leads going directly to a loan officer before qualification.

— In 2025, we deployed an updated AI-powered communications platform for our loan officers. The platform handled 800 thousand chats, sent over 1.8 million text messages, made 2 million outbound calls, and processed more than 5 million documents on a monthly basis. The communications platform has helped unlock capacity for our loan officers, while leading to higher conversion rates and fueling incremental refinance and purchase volume.

— Redfin has launched conversational search across its app, website, and ChatGPT, setting a new standard for a more intuitive home search experience. In February 2026, Redfin launched an app in ChatGPT allowing users to find listing and explore market trends through a conversational interface. In November 2025, Redfin expanded its conversational search experience to its iOS app, enabling users to refine searches and ask questions in plain language rather than relying solely on filters.

— In February 2026, Rocket and Redfin debuted their first joint Super Bowl advertisement, reinforcing Rocket’s “Own the Dream” creative platform with a campaign centered on community and trust in American neighborhoods, featuring Lady Gaga’s rendition of “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” The campaign drove unaided awareness gains for both Rocket Mortgage and Redfin and ranked #1 in PR share of voice among Super Bowl advertisers. It also launched the nationwide “Great American Home Search,” a 48-hour interactive challenge in the Redfin app where participants solved clues for a chance to win a home valued at over $1 million. This event propelled Redfin to the #1 ranking among lifestyle apps in daily downloads on the Apple App Store in February.

— In February 2026, Rocket Pro hosted approximately 4,000 mortgage broker partners virtually at Ignite26, the industry’s first lender-led national streaming broadcast. Announcements included the launch of Jupiter, a complimentary loan origination system; a nationwide broker and consumer marketing campaign through BrokerNearMe.com; and Connectors, a new third-party integration service designed to drive broker growth by allowing brokers to leverage AI tools without leaving Rocket Pro Navigate.

— In January 2026, the Rocket Community Fund, a partner company, and the Detroit Housing Commission announced a $1.2 million grant to support the Scattered Sites Homeownership Program. The initiative provides public housing residents with priority purchasing access, down payment assistance, and home repair funding to help support their transition to homeownership across Detroit.

— In January 2026, the Rocket Community Fund awarded a $1 million grant to the Detroit Regional Chamber’s TalentEd initiative to address housing and food insecurity for students, strengthen connections between colleges and employers, and support adult learners completing their education throughout the Detroit region.

First Quarter 2026 Outlook (2)

In Q1 2026, we expect adjusted revenue between $2.6 billion to $2.8 billion.

Starting in Q1 2026, we will be reclassifying warehouse interest on loans held for sale from a contra-revenue account to a direct expense. This change will increase both our reported revenue and expense and does not impact our net income or cash flow. The guidance range includes $150 million from this reclassification.

Segments

Direct to Consumer

In the Direct to Consumer segment, clients have the ability to interact with Rocket Mortgage digitally and/or with the Company’s mortgage bankers. The Company markets to potential clients in this segment through various brand campaigns and performance marketing channels. The Direct to Consumer segment derives revenue from originating, closing, selling and servicing predominantly agency-conforming loans, which are pooled and sold to the secondary market. The segment also includes title and settlement services and appraisal management, complementing the Company’s end-to-end mortgage origination experience. Servicing and subservicing activities are fully allocated to the Direct to Consumer segment as they are viewed as an extension of the client experience, which positions us to have high retention and recapture the clients’ next refinance, purchase and personal loan transactions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

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

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

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

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