DETROIT, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rocket Companies, Inc. RKT ("Rocket Companies" or the "Company"), a Detroit-based holding company consisting of tech-driven real estate, mortgage and eCommerce businesses – including Rocket Mortgage, Amrock, Rocket Homes and Rocket Auto – today announced results for the quarter.

Jay Farner, Rocket Companies' Vice Chairman and CEO, stated, "The combination of our technology platform and Rocket Cloud Force of highly trained professionals, continues to deliver scalability and a client experience that is unmatched. In fact, this was the sixth consecutive quarter where our team was able to double the company's home loan volume year-over-year.

While the mortgage business continues to perform – with March producing our highest-ever purchase application volume – we also had success in our other verticals. Rocket Auto increased the number of vehicles it sold 65% compared to this time last year, Amrock achieved its highest level of closings in company history with an increase of 110% from the first quarter of 2020 and Rocket Homes increased the average monthly visitors on its website by more than 300% versus Q1 last year. Our flywheel only continues to accelerate as we look forward to the second quarter and the rest of 2021."

First Quarter Highlights
During the first quarter of 2021, Rocket Companies:

  • Grew total revenue, net, for Rocket Companies to $4.6 billion from $1.4 billion in Q1 '20 and Adjusted Revenue to $4.0 billion from $2.1 billion in Q1 '20.
  • Increased net income to $2.8 billion from $0.1 billion in Q1 '20 and Adjusted Net Income to $1.8 billion from $0.7 billion in Q1 '20.
  • Generated closed loan origination volume of $103.5 billion and net rate lock volume of $95.1 billion in Q1 '21, which represented improvements of 100% and 70%, respectively, as compared to Q1 '20.
  • Q1 '21 represented our strongest first quarter purchase closed loan volume in company history. In addition, we achieved our highest monthly purchase application volume ever in March 2021.
  • Increased gain on sale margin by 49 basis points year-over-year to 3.74%.
  • Amrock, our title insurance services, property valuation, and settlement services company, generated 348,800 closings, up 110% from Q1 '20, representing the highest level of closings in Amrock's history. This record volume was the primary driver for the increase in other income in Q1 '21 to $466.1 million from $243.8 million in Q1 '20.
  • Rocket Auto, our automotive retail marketplace, facilitated the sale of 13,600 auto units, up more than 5,300 units, or 65%, as compared to first quarter of 2020. Gross Merchandise Value for Q1 '21 was $360 million, which represents an annualized run rate of more than $1 billion.

Highlights
Platform Reach

  • The Rocket Companies' platform generated more than 60 million unique visitors during Q1 '21, an increase of 72% as compared to Q1 '20.
  • RocketHomes.com, our home search experience, average unique monthly visitors increased more than 300% in Q1 '21 as compared to Q1 '20.
  • Our net client retention rate was 91% over the 12 months ended March 31, 2021. There is a strong correlation between this metric and client lifetime value and we believe our net client retention rate is matched only by some of the best performing subscription business models in the world.
  • More than 45,000 real estate agents have signed up for Rocket Pro Insight (RPI), up more than 220% from 14,000 at December 31, 2020. RPI is our digital platform providing real estate agents with real-time updates on the status of their clients' mortgages and the ability to assist in the mortgage process.
  • We recently made two exciting brand announcements. Rocket Pro TPO initiated a sponsorship of the #16 Chevrolet in the Indianapolis 500. This is the first-ever entrant in the Indianapolis 500 from a team that is female-owned, female driven and largely female crewed. Rocket Mortgage also launched a new partnership with PGA Tour superstar and the 2020 Rocket Mortgage Classic winner, Bryson DeChambeau.

Product & Platform Development

  • Our best in class technology platform continues to allow us to scale profitably and support life's most complex transactions as we achieved our sixth consecutive quarter with more than 100% year-over-year growth in closed loan volume.
  • We expanded the roll-out of Rocket Logic, our proprietary, next generation workflow technology, beyond the initial pilot group. Loans processed through Rocket Logic consistently close faster than loans that are processed outside of this technology. During the first quarter, more than one-third of our loan volume was processed through Rocket Logic, contributing to overall turn times decreasing more than 30% in Q1 '21 compared to Q4 '20.
  • Rocket Auto recently formed a strategic partnership with AutoFi, a leading software provider in the automotive retail industry with a network of more than 2,000 dealership partners. This new relationship, paired with Rocket Auto's own proprietary platform, will enable us to facilitate a full automotive point of sale solution, including finance and insurance, and provides Rocket Auto with expanded access to crucial auto inventory to help fulfill client needs in a high-demand auto market.

Supporting Our Communities

  • In March, the Gilbert Family Foundation and our partner company, the Rocket Community Fund, made a joint 10-year, $500 million dollar commitment to build economic opportunity and equity in Detroit.
  • The MacArthur Foundation awarded our partner, Community Solutions, with a $100 million grant to fund Built for Zero initiative, an initiative to end veteran and chronic homelessness. Rocket Mortgage has been a lead national partner of Built for Zero since 2018.

Additional Achievements

  • In April, Housingwire Tech 100 recognized Rocket Pro TPO and our subsidiaries Amrock and Nexsys Technologies as fintech trailblazers and digital leaders in mortgage and real estate.
  • We recently ranked in the top 5 of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list in 2021 and has placed in the top third of the list for 18 consecutive years.
  • In April, Forbes announced that we were in the top 3 of "America's Best Employers for Diversity" list in 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Outlook
We expect the following ranges in Q2 2021:

  • Closed loan volume of between $82.5 billion and $87.5 billion.
  • Net rate lock volume of between $81.5 billion and $88.5 billion.
  • Gain on sale margins of 2.65% to 2.95%.

Direct-to-Consumer
In the Direct-to-Consumer segment, clients have the ability to interact with  Rocket Mortgage online 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 insurance, appraisals and settlement services complementing the Company's end-to-end mortgage origination experience. Servicing activities are fully allocated to the Direct-to-Consumer segment and are viewed as an extension of the client experience. Servicing enables Rocket Mortgage to establish and maintain long term relationships with our clients, through multiple touchpoints at regular engagement intervals. Underpinned by our superior client experience, we have shown consistently high retention rates and recapture rates, which position the Company well to be the go-to choice for clients' next refinance, purchase, personal loan, or auto transaction.

Influencer partnerships are typically with companies that employ licensed mortgage professionals who find value in our client experience, technology and efficient mortgage process.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), we disclose Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA as "non-GAAP measures" which management believes provide useful information to investors. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income, or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies.

In first quarter of 2021, we revised our definition of Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EBITDA to exclude a litigation accrual that does not directly affect what we consider to be our core operating performance. Excluding these costs did not impact Adjusted Net income or Adjusted EBITDA for the comparative periods presented. From time to time in the future, we may be exclude other items if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors.

We define "Adjusted Revenue" as total revenues net of the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") due to valuation assumptions. We define "Adjusted Net Income" as tax-effected earnings before share-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions, a litigation accrual, and the tax effects of those adjustments. We define "Adjusted Diluted EPS" as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the applicable period, which assumes the pro forma exchange and conversion of all outstanding Class D common stock for Class A common stock. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as earnings before interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt, income tax, depreciation and amortization, net of the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), share-based compensation expense, and a litigation accrual. We exclude from each of these non-GAAP revenues 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 assumptions including discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, which is not indicative of our performance or results of operation. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of "Interest income, net", as these expenses are a direct cost driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Any non-GAAP earnings margin is calculated by using the non-GAAP metric in question (such as Adjusted EBITDA) as the numerator and Adjusted Revenue as the denominator.

We believe that the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures provide 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 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. However, other companies may define Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA differently, and as a result, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies.

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. Additionally, our definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures allows us to add back certain non-cash charges and deduct certain gains that are included in calculating the most comparable figures calculated under GAAP. However, these expenses and gains vary greatly, and are difficult to predict. They can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings per Share, and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, total revenues, net income attributable to Rocket Companies, net income (loss), and Earnings per share in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of performance. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items.

Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA 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. Some of these limitations are: (a) they do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (b) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt; (c) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced or require improvements in the future, and Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and (d) they are not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net income attributable to Rocket Companies or net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance and 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. We compensate for these limitations by using Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance.

2 We measure the performance of the Direct to Consumer and Partner Network segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Contribution margin is intended to measure the direct profitability of each segment and is calculated as Adjusted Revenue less directly attributable expenses. Directly attributable expenses include salaries, commissions and team member benefits, general and administrative expenses, and other expenses, such as direct servicing costs and origination costs. A loan is considered "funded" when it is sold to investors on the secondary market. See "Summary Segment Results" section later in this document and the footnote on "Segments" in the "Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's forthcoming filing on Form 10-Q for more information.
