loanDepot Announces Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Strategic expansion into home equity drove unit volume growth of 25%, and revenue growth of 18%, improved operating leverage and substantially narrowed the quarterly loss compared to prior quarter.
Second Quarter 2026 Highlights:
- Loan origination volume increased 4% to $7.99 billion and unit volume increased 25% from the first quarter of 2026, demonstrating meaningful progress in the Company’s strategic expansion into home equity lending through its 5X5 HomeLoan product.
- Revenue grew 18% to $337 million and adjusted revenue increased 3% to $308 million compared to the prior quarter, primarily due to higher origination income and servicing revenue.
- Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin increased 74 basis points to 345 basis points, supported by the Company’s deliberate mix shift toward higher-margin home equity and government loans.
- Operating leverage strengthened as revenue increased while expenses increased less than 1% to $344 million from the prior quarter, reflecting disciplined cost management and benefits of a more efficient product mix; return on marketing increased 70% and cost-per-funded loan decreased 12% from the second quarter of 20251.
- The Company has begun actioning approximately $12 million of annualized productivity initiatives progressing through the remainder of the year.
- Net loss was narrowed to $7 million, compared with a net loss of $55 million in the prior quarter.
- Adjusted net loss was $29 million, compared with adjusted net loss of $34 million in the prior quarter.
- Adjusted EBITDA was $20 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $14 million in the prior quarter.
- The Company repurchased $16 million of senior notes at an average purchase price of 90% of par during the quarter and repurchased an additional $27 million of notes at an average purchase price of 86% of par post quarter end through July 30, 2026.
IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE: LDI), (together with its subsidiaries, “loanDepot” or the “Company”), today announced results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
Strategic expansion into home equity drove unit volume growth of 25%, and revenue growth of 18%, improved operating leverage and substantially narrowed the quarterly loss compared to prior quarter.
Share
"We have moved decisively to reshape the business for profitable market share growth in any macro environment and are starting to see the signs of our progress: we are making more loans, faster and at a lower cost,” said loanDepot Founder and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Hsieh. “In the second quarter, revenue increased, operating leverage improved, and our net loss narrowed substantially even as interest rates rose meaningfully beginning in March. The pace of improvement accelerated as the quarter progressed, with June demonstrating the strongest results so far this year.
Hsieh continued, “A central driver of this momentum is the progress we made during the second quarter in executing our strategic expansion into home equity lending. This represents a significant expansion opportunity within a market supported by approximately $35 trillion of U.S. homeowner equity. Importantly, these are the same homeowners we have long served through traditional refinance products. In a higher-rate environment, however, home equity products can allow qualified borrowers to access liquidity while preserving an attractive first-mortgage rate and may offer a more compelling value proposition than higher-cost alternatives such as unsecured personal loans, credit cards, and certain small business financing products.
“Home equity lending is more stable, less rate sensitive, and less seasonal than refinance and purchase mortgage lending. Loan balances are smaller, but gain on sale and revenue are both typically higher, and our cost to produce is significantly lower. We are now seeing the results of this pivot. The second quarter results demonstrate that this strategic shift is beginning to translate into measurable growth, stronger margins and improved operating leverage.
“During the year, we continued to expand our core mortgage franchise by adding builder partners in our joint venture channel and branch locations in our retail channel. That growth contributed to an increase in purchase market share during the quarter and reinforces the durability of our diversified origination platform.
“Our ability to pivot toward home equity while continuing to grow purchase market share reflects the agility of our team and the adaptability of loanDepot’s differentiated model. We believe our nationally recognized brand, valuable servicing portfolio, diversified origination channels, proven ability to develop loan officers organically, industry-leading recapture capabilities, and technology-enabled customer acquisition platform allow us to redirect capacity toward the products that offer the greatest customer and shareholder value in a given rate environment. Few originators have the resources, customer relationships or operating expertise to make that transition at scale. As refinance and purchase opportunities expand, we expect to deploy the same platform and execution discipline to capture them quickly. This is what it means to be built to compete across market cycles.”
Chief Financial Officer David Hayes said, "The second quarter represented another meaningful step forward in our financial performance and showed that we can increase funded volume while maintaining disciplined expense management and a clear focus on profitability. The benefits of our product mix shift were evident in higher revenue, stronger pull-through weighted gain on sale margin and an improved bottom line. Maintaining strong liquidity remains a top priority, and we took advantage of favorable market conditions to monetize approximately $10 billion of servicing rights after quarter end. We also continue to evaluate opportunities to optimize our capital structure. Addressing the Company’s bond maturities remains a high priority for management, and we are evaluating a range of options with the support of retained advisors."

Operational Highlights
- Non-volume2 related expenses decreased $6.4 million from the first quarter of 2026, primarily reflecting lower salary-related costs, servicing expense, and other interest expense.
- Pull-through weighted lock volume was $6.6 billion for the second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $1.6 billion or 20% from the first quarter, primarily reflecting the Company’s strategic mix shift toward higher-margin HELOC production, which does not carry an associated interest rate lock.
- Loan origination volume for the second quarter of 2026 was $8.0 billion, an increase of $335.1 million or 4% from the first quarter of 2026.
- Purchase volume totaled 57% of total loans originated during the second quarter, up from 41% during the first quarter of 2026.
- Our preliminary organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate3 decreased to 68% for the second quarter from the first quarter 2026’s recapture rate of 73%.
Outlook for the third quarter of 2026
- Origination volume of between $6.25 billion and $8.25 billion.
- Pull-through weighted rate lock volume of between $5.25 billion and $7.25 billion.
- Pull-through weighted gain on sale margin of between 360 basis points and 390 basis points.
| ____________________ | |
| 2 | Volume related expenses include commissions, marketing and advertising expense, and direct origination expense. All remaining expenses are considered non-volume related. |
| 3 | We define organic refinance consumer direct recapture rate as the total unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of loans in our servicing portfolio that are paid in full for purposes of refinancing the loan on the same property, with the Company acting as lender on both the existing and new loan, divided by the UPB of all loans in our servicing portfolio that paid in full for the purpose of refinancing the loan on the same property. The recapture rate is finalized following the publication date of this release when external data becomes available. Data is as of July 20, 2026. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose certain non-GAAP measures to assist investors in evaluating our financial results. We believe these non-GAAP 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. They facilitate company-to-company operating performance comparisons by backing out potential differences caused by variations in hedging strategies, changes in valuations, capital structures (affecting interest expense on non-funding debt), taxation, the age and book depreciation of facilities (affecting relative depreciation expense), and other cost or benefit items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to operating performance. These non-GAAP measures include our Adjusted Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA. We exclude from these non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs, gains (losses) from the sale of MSRs, and related hedging gains and losses that represent realized and unrealized adjustments resulting from changes in valuation, mostly due to changes in market interest rates, and are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance or results of operation. We have excluded expenses directly related to the cybersecurity incident in January 2024 that resulted from unauthorized access to our systems (the “Cybersecurity Incident”), net of insurance recoveries during fiscal 2024, such as costs to investigate and remediate the Cybersecurity Incident, the costs of customer notifications and identity protection, and professional fees, including legal expenses, settlement costs, and commission guarantees. We also exclude stock-based compensation expense, which is a non-cash expense, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt and disposal of fixed assets, and impairment charges to operating lease right-of-use assets, as well as certain costs associated with our restructuring efforts, as management does not consider these costs to be indicative of our performance or results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA includes interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of “net interest income,” as these expenses are a direct operating expense driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest expense on our non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjustments for income taxes are made to reflect historical results of operations on the basis that it was taxed as a corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes. Adjustments to Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding assumes the pro forma conversion of weighted average Class B and Class C common stock to Class A common stock. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or 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. Some of these limitations are:
- They do not reflect every cash expenditure, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payment on our debt;
- 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 Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirement for such replacements or improvements; and
- 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 Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended as alternatives to total revenue, net loss, net loss attributable to the Company, or 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 Total Revenue, Adjusted Net Loss, Adjusted Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding, and Adjusted EBITDA along with other comparative tools, together with U.S. GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of operating performance. See below for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable U.S. GAAP measures.
