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. 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. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible into one share of Class A common stock upon the transfer or assignment of such share from SFS Corp. to a non-affiliated third-party. See Note 10 - Non-Controlling Interests for further information.

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.

Upon completion of the business combination transaction, the directors and officers of Gores Holdings IV, Inc. (the “Gores Directors and Officers”) resigned, the Company appointed new directors to its Board, and certain officers of UWM became officers of the Company. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company is obligated to indemnify the Gores Directors and Officers for costs or losses incurred prior to or after the closing of the business combination transaction that arose by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of Gores Holdings IV, Inc. The Gores Directors and

7

Officers have been named as defendants in class action suits in Delaware Chancery Court in which it is alleged that they breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders of Gores Holdings, IV. Pursuant to its obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, the Company is indemnifying the Gores Directors and Officers in connection with these lawsuits. The Company has insurance which it believes will cover any material liability that could arise pursuant to its indemnification obligations to the Gores Directors and Officers.

Basis of Presentation

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 as assets and corresponding liabilities at the loan's unpaid principal balance, 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”).

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. The Company is 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, 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.

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's potential liability under the Tax Receivable Agreement is accounted for as a loss contingency (the liability is recorded within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other"), 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" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2023, the total liability recorded for the Tax Receivable Agreement was approximately $15.2 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"). During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of other income related to the change in fair value of warrants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $1.3 million of other expense and $7.7 million of other income, respectively, 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, and 72,018,682 shares remained available for issuance under the 2020 Plan as of September 30, 2023. 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 Standards

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, 2024. 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. Alternative base rate language, which may include SOFR to agreements for its derivatives, has been added to warehouse and other lines of credit and debt obligations that use LIBOR. The Company has applied the optional expedients under ASU 2020-04 and accounted for the contract modifications related to reference rate reform prospectively. There was no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard.

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-1, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which amends certain provisions of ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842), which was issued in February 2016 and will remain effective through December 31, 2024. This guidance addresses existing guidance that applies to the amortization of leasehold improvements made by lessees in lease arrangements between entities under common control. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. 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, 2023		December 31, 2022
Mortgage loans, unpaid principal balance	$	5,580,065	$	7,128,131
Premiums paid on mortgage loans	44,525		70,914
Fair value adjustment	(64,551)		(64,085)
Mortgage loans at fair value	$	5,560,039	$	7,134,960

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 80% and 77%, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company primarily uses Forward-settling Loan Sale Commitments (“FLSCs”) to economically hedge its pipeline of IRLCs and mortgage loans at fair value.     

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

10

	September 30, 2023							December 31, 2022
	Fair value							Fair value
	Derivative assets		Derivative liabilities		Notional Amount			Derivative assets		Derivative liabilities		Notional Amount
IRLCs	$	7,037	$	35,518	$	7,351,202	(a)	$	7,872	$	32,294	$	5,359,684	(a)
FLSCs	85,754		3,364		11,815,554			74,997		17,454		10,944,875
Total	$	92,791	$	38,882				$	82,869	$	49,748

(a)Notional amounts have been adjusted for pullthrough rates of 80% and 77%, respectively.

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

The following summarizes accounts receivable, net (in thousands):

	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Servicing fees	$	153,602	$	110,891

Provision for current expected credit losses	(5,084)		(5,121)
Total accounts receivable, net	$	385,922	$	383,147

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'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 $281.4 billion and $312.5 billion at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

11

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

MSR and excess sales	(617,474)		(359,014)		(1,721,827)		(1,231,810)
Changes in fair value:
Due to changes in valuation inputs or assumptions	236,044		373,232		177,655		940,668
Due to collection/realization of cash flows/other	(127,838)		(127,401)		(360,518)		(458,749)
Fair value, end of period	$	4,352,219	$	4,305,686	$	4,352,219	$	4,305,686

The following is a summary of the components of change in fair value of servicing rights as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Changes in fair value:
Due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions	$	236,044	$	373,232	$	177,655	$	940,668
Due to collection/realization of cash flows and other	(127,838)		(127,401)		(360,518)		(458,749)
Net reserves and transaction costs on sales of servicing rights	(15,297)		(9,051)		(36,867)		(47,007)
Changes in fair value of mortgage servicing rights	$	92,909	$	236,780	$	(219,730)	$	434,912

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company sold MSRs on loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $99.2 billion and $101.3 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold excess servicing cash flows on certain agency loans with a total UPB of approximately $78.1 billion for proceeds of approximately $428.7 million. In connection with these sales, the Company recorded a net $36.9 million and $47.0 million, respectively, for its estimated obligation for protection provisions granted to the buyers and transaction costs, which is reflected as part of the change in fair value of MSRs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no excess servicing cash flow sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The following table summarizes the loan servicing income recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively (in thousands):

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Contractual servicing fees	$	196,509	$	193,715	$	600,960	$	567,040
Late, ancillary and other fees	3,919		3,066		11,245		7,807
Loan servicing income	$	200,428	$	196,781	$	612,205	$	574,847

The key unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s MSRs were as follows at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively:

	September 30, 2023							December 31, 2022
	Range					Weighted Average		Range					Weighted Average
Discount rates	10.0	%	—	15.0	%	10.7	%	9.5	%	—	15.0	%	10.1	%
Annual prepayment speeds	5.8	%	—	17.4	%	7.5	%	6.7	%	—	14.0	%	7.9	%
Cost of servicing	$74		—	$148		$83		$75		—	$108		$80

12

The hypothetical effect of adverse changes in these key assumptions would result in a decrease in fair values as follows at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, (in thousands):

	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Discount rate:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value	$	(191,334)	$	(183,972)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value	(366,263)		(353,120)
Prepayment speeds:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value	$	(129,529)	$	(143,483)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value	(251,015)		(277,992)
Cost of servicing:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value	$	(36,043)	$	(39,362)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value	(72,085)		(78,724)

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 the table above, 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, or lower discount rates as investors may accept lower returns in a lower interest rate environment), 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.

In addition, the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2029 Senior Notes prior to April 15, 2024 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

2027 Senior Notes

On November 22, 2021, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due June 15, 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes"). The 2027 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.750% per annum. Interest on the 2027 Senior Notes is due semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year.

The indentures governing the 2025, 2029 and 2027 Senior Notes contain operating covenants and restrictions, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the indentures as of September 30, 2023.

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 had an initial one-year term and automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party. 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, 2023. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 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

16

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 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 $40.4 million and $91.3 million in UPB of loans during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $201.9 million and $279.9 million in UPB of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to its representations and warranties obligations.

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

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

Commitments to Originate Loans

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had agreed to extend credit to potential borrowers for approximately $23.8 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, 2023 and 2022.

In 2021, UWM began selling some of the mortgage loans that it originates through private label securitization transactions. There have been no loan sales through UWM's private label securitization transactions since 2021. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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.

17

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, 2023, $102.5 million of the $104.5 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 $97.3 million with remaining maturities ranging from approximately one to five months as of September 30, 2023, and interest rates based on 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, 2023			December 31, 2022
	Common Units	Ownership Percentage		Common Units	Ownership Percentage
UWM Holdings Corporation ownership of Class A Common Units	93,654,269	5.87	%	92,575,974	5.81	%
SFS Corp. ownership of Class B Common Units	1,502,069,787	94.13	%	1,502,069,787	94.19	%
Balance at end of period	1,595,724,056	100.00	%	1,594,645,761	100.0	%

The non-controlling interest holder has 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 the non-controlling interest holder 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, 2023, SFS Corp. has not exchanged any Stapled Interests.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 1,078,295 shares of Class A common stock, net of withholdings, which primarily related to the vesting of RSUs under its stock-based compensation plan and grants to the Company's non-employee directors. 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 certain minimum net worth, minimum liquidity, and minimum capital ratio requirements, including those established by HUD, Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. As of September 30, 2023, the most restrictive of these requirements require UWM to maintain a minimum net worth of $794.3 million, liquidity of $273.4 million, and a minimum capital ratio of 6%. At September 30, 2023, 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

18

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.

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, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

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 IRLCs 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.

The following table presents quantitative information about the inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value financial instruments and the fair value measurements for IRLCs:

Unobservable Input - IRLCs	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Pullthrough rate (weighted avg)	80	%	77	%

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, 2023.

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):

	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
2025 Senior Notes, due 11/15/25	$	795,346	$	760,960	$	793,703	$	724,928
2029 Senior Notes, due 4/15/29	695,151		590,688		694,496		565,607

	$	1,987,284	$	1,803,493	$	1,984,336	$	1,721,455

The fair value of the 2025, 2029 and 2027 Senior Notes was estimated using Level 2 inputs, including observable trading information from independent sources.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 (who is a current member of the Board of Directors) and its CEO and leased by the Company from these entities.

•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, 2023 and 2022, the Company made net payments of approximately $5.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively, to various companies related through common ownership. Such related party payments were comprised of, (i) with respect to the three months ended September 30, 2023, approximately $4.9 million in rent and other occupancy related fees and $0.2 million in legal fees and (ii) 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. Additionally, the Company made payments of $0.1 million to unrelated third parties for pilots and ancillary services related to usage of the aircraft for each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company made net payments of approximately $15.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively, to various companies related through common ownership.

UWM entered into a $500.0 million unsecured Revolving Credit Facility with SFS Corp. as the lender during the third quarter of 2022. Refer to Note 7 - Other borrowings for further details.

NOTE 14 – INCOME TAXES

UWM is treated as a 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

21

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.

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, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.24% and 1.44%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate was 0.24% and 0.95% 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.

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, 2023, 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, 2023 or 2022. 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. Tax years 2019 and forward remain open under applicable statute of limitations with relevant taxing authorities.

As of September 30, 2023, 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.

There was no Class B common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2023 or September 30, 2022.

The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Net income	$	300,993	$	325,610	$	391,174	$	994,342
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests	282,762		313,914		377,326		952,350
Net income attributable to UWMC	18,231		11,696		13,848		41,992
Numerator:
Net income attributable to Class A common shareholders	$	18,231	$	11,696	$	13,848	$	41,992
Net income attributable to Class A common shareholders - diluted	$	234,712	$	11,696	$	13,848	$	41,992
Denominator:
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - basic	93,290,736		92,571,886		93,107,576		92,441,342
Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted	1,596,624,780		92,571,886		93,107,576		92,441,342
Earnings per share of Class A common stock outstanding - basic	$	0.20	$	0.13	$	0.15	$	0.45
Earnings per share of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted	$	0.15	$	0.13	$	0.15	$	0.45

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 all periods except for the three months ended September 30, 2023. 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 an estimated income 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, 2023 or 2022. 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, 2023 and 2022 using the treasury stock method and the impact was either anti-dilutive or immaterial.

NOTE 17 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, 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 11, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 20, 2023. Additionally, the Board approved a proportional distribution to SFS Corp. of $150.2 million which is payable on or about January 11, 2024 .

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company sold excess servicing cash flows on certain agency loans with a total UPB of approximately $16.8 billion for gross proceeds of approximately $159.9 million.

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, 2023. 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

Despite originating mortgage loans exclusively through the wholesale channel, we are the largest overall residential mortgage lender in the U.S. 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 eight years, including the year ended December 31, 2022, we have also been the largest wholesale mortgage lender in the U.S. by closed loan volume.

Our mortgage origination business derives revenue from originating, processing and underwriting primarily government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE") conforming mortgage loans, along with FHA, USDA and VA mortgage loans, which are subsequently pooled and sold in the secondary market. 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). 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

See Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

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:

•    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;

25

•    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 initially established at the time of sale 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 Brokers, 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 increase or decrease, respectively, in the fair value of the liability for the Public and Private Warrants, the increase or decrease, respectively, in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability, and the decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of retained investment securities).

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 Summary

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we originated $29.7 billion in residential mortgage loans, which was a decrease of $3.8 billion, or 11.2%, from the $33.5 billion of originations during the three months ended September 30, 2022. We reported net income of $301.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023, which was a decrease of $24.6 million, or 7.6%, compared to net income of $325.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $112.1 million as compared to a loss of $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. 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, 2023, we originated $83.9 billion in residential mortgage loans, which was a decrease of $18.3 billion, or 17.9%, from the $102.2 billion of originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. We reported net income of $391.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was a decrease of $603.1 million, or 60.7%, compared to net income of $994.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $378.7 million as compared to $222.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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 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.

26

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:

(1) Represents total loan production income divided by total loan origination volume for the applicable period.

Loan production income was $288.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $116.5 million, or 67.6%, as compared to $172.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in loan production income was primarily driven by an increase in gain margin, from 52 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 97 basis points for the same period in 2023. Prior year gain margin was impacted by a pricing initiative launched at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022. The increase in gain margin was partially offset by a decrease in loan production volume. Loan production volume decreased $3.8 billion, or 11.2%, from $33.5 billion to $29.7 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, as a result of the higher primary mortgage interest rate environment during 2023.

Loan production income was $775.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $77.7 million, or 9.1%, as compared to $852.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in loan production income was primarily driven by a decrease in loan production volume of $18.3 billion, or 17.9%, from $102.2 billion to $83.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, due to lower refinance volume as a result of the higher primary mortgage interest rate environment during 2023, partially offset by an increase in purchase volume despite the higher interest rate environment during the first nine months of 2023. The decrease in loan production income was partially offset by an increase in gain margin from 83 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 92 basis points for the same period in 2023.

The increase in loan servicing income during the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by higher average servicing fees, partially offset by a decline in the average servicing portfolio.

Servicing costs decreased $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of lower loss mitigation expenses and a decline in the average servicing portfolio.

Loan servicing income was $612.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $37.4 million, or 6.5%, as compared to $574.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in loan servicing income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by higher average servicing fees, partially offset by a decline in the average servicing portfolio.

Servicing costs decreased $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 as a result of lower loss mitigation expenses and a decline in the average servicing portfolio.

Change in Fair Value of Mortgage Servicing Rights

The change in fair value of MSRs was a net increase of $92.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to a net increase of $236.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The change in fair value for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to an increase in fair value of approximately $236.0 million due to changes in valuation inputs/assumptions, mainly as a result of changes in market interest rates, partially offset by a decline in fair value of approximately $127.8 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $15.3 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales. The change in fair value for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of approximately $236.8 million was attributable to an increase of approximately $373.2 million resulting from changes in valuation inputs/assumptions, partially offset by declines of approximately $127.4 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $9.1 million of reserves and transaction costs for bulk sales of MSRs.

The change in fair value of MSRs was a net decrease of $219.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared with a net increase of $434.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The change in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to a decline in fair value of approximately $360.5 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $36.9 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales and sales of excess servicing cash flows, partially offset by an increase in fair value of approximately $177.7 million due to changes in valuation inputs/assumptions, mainly as a result of changes in market interest rates. The change in fair value for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of approximately $434.9 million was attributable to an increase of approximately $940.7 million resulting from changes in valuation inputs/assumptions, primarily due to increases in market interest rates, partially offset by declines of approximately $458.7 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $47.0 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales.

Interest income and Interest expense

For the periods presented below, interest income and the components of and total interest expense were as follows:

	For the three months ended September 30,				For the nine months ended September 30,
($ in thousands)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Interest income	$	94,849	$	78,210	$	258,324	$	207,625
Less: Interest expense on funding facilities	50,899		43,350		110,892		102,033
Net interest income	$	43,950	$	34,860	$	147,432	$	105,592
Interest expense on non-funding debt	$	42,825	$	29,786	$	128,553	$	89,036
Total interest expense	93,724		73,136		239,445		191,069

Net interest income (interest income less interest expense on funding facilities) was $44.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $9.1 million, or 26%, as compared to $34.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as the increase in interest income exceeded the increase in interest expense on funding facilities. Interest income increased due to higher average note rates on loans at fair value and higher average balances of mortgage loans at fair value. Interest expense on funding facilities increased due to higher interest rates on warehouse facilities (all of which are based on variable interest rate benchmarks plus a spread) and higher average warehouse balances, partially offset by higher escrow credits on custodial deposits from warehouse lenders, due to higher short-term interest rates.

Interest expense on non-funding debt was $42.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase from $29.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the additional interest expense on the MSR facilities established at the end of the third quarter of 2022 and in the first quarter of 2023.

Net interest income (interest income less interest expense on funding facilities) was $147.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $41.8 million, or 40%, as compared to $105.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as the increase in interest income exceeded the increase in interest expense on funding facilities. Interest income increased due to higher average note rates on loans at fair value, partially offset by lower average balances of mortgage loans at fair value. Interest expense on funding facilities increased due to higher interest rates on warehouse facilities (all of

32

which are based on variable interest rate benchmarks plus a spread), partially offset by lower average warehouse balances and higher escrow credits on custodial deposits from warehouse lenders, due to higher short-term interest rates.

Interest expense on non-funding debt was $128.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase from $89.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the additional interest expense on the MSR facilities in 2023.

Other costs

Other costs (excluding servicing costs and interest expense, explained above) for the periods presented below were as follows:

	For the three months ended September 30,				Change $		Change %

Other expenses	$	692,190	$	745,981	$	(53,791)	(7.2)	%

Other costs were $248.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $5.0 million, or 2.0%, as compared to $243.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in other costs was due to an increase in direct loan production costs of $15.7 million, primarily due to costs associated with grants under a down payment assistance program launched in 2023 and increased title recording fees. Marketing, travel and entertainment expense increased as we continue to invest in our broker relationships through broker visits and training programs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other expense (income) of $6.8 million primarily due to a decrease in TRA expense, and lower expense associated with the changes in fair value of Public and Private Warrants and retained investment securities. General and administrative expenses decreased $6.7 million primarily due to lower representations and warranties reserve adjustments.

Other costs were $692.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $53.8 million, or 7.2%, as compared to $746.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in other costs was primarily due to a decrease in salaries, commissions and benefits of $46.9 million, or 10.8%, due to a decrease in average team member count and lower incentive compensation due to lower production. The decrease in other expense of $21.4 million was primarily due to lower expenses associated with the change in fair value of retained investment securities and lower TRA expense, partially offset by higher expense related to the change in fair value of the Public and Private Warrants. These decreases were partially offset by increases in marketing, travel and entertainment expenses of $7.7 million and direct loan production costs of $3.3 million primarily due to the same reasons mentioned in the three months analysis above, as well as an increase in general and administrative expense of $2.3 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy and equipment expense, partially offset by a decrease in aged receivables provisions and representations and warranties reserve adjustments.

Income Taxes

We recorded a $0.7 million provision for income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a provision for income taxes of $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We recorded a $0.9 million

33

provision for income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a provision for income taxes of $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022, was primarily due to the decrease in pre-tax taxable income attributable to the Company.

Net income

Net income was $301.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $24.6 million or 7.6%, as compared to net income of $325.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of a decrease in total revenue, net of $7.1 million and an increase in total expenses (including income taxes) of $17.6 million, as further described above.

Net income was $391.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $603.2 million or 60.7%, as compared to net income of $994.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in net income was primarily the result of a decrease in total revenue, net of $644.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in total expenses (including income taxes) of $41.1 million, as further described above.

Net income attributable to the Company of $18.2 million and $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and net income attributable to the Company of $13.8 million and $42.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, includes the net income of UWM attributable to the Company due to its approximate 6% ownership interest in Holdings LLC for these periods.

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 and excess servicing cash flows.

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.

Our consolidated subsidiary, Holdings LLC, will also generally be required from time to time to make pro rata distributions in cash to SFS Corp. in amounts sufficient to cover the taxes on its allocable share of the taxable income of Holdings LLC. We are also subject to contingencies which may have a significant impact on the use of our cash.

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

34

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.

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 a reference interest rate benchmark plus a spread. As of September 30, 2023, all of our warehouse facility agreements had been amended to change the reference interest rate from LIBOR to variants of SOFR or other alternative index.

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 typically 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 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, 2023, there were no 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, 2023:

1 An aggregate of $650 million of these line amounts is committed as of September 30, 2023.

2 This warehouse line of credit agreement expired pursuant to its terms subsequent to September 30, 2023.

Early Funding Programs

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, 2023, no amounts were outstanding under the ASAP+ program or the EF program.

Covenants

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) profitability. 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, 2023.

Other Financing Facilities

MSR Facilities

On September 30, 2022, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), 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 securitizations 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. As of September 30, 2023, $250.0 million was outstanding under 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, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.

On January 30, 2023, UWM, entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, permitting UWM, with the prior consent of Citibank, to enter into transactions for the sale of excess servicing cash flows (as discussed below) whereby Citibank will release its security interest in that portion of the collateral.

37

On March 20, 2023, our consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, providing UWM with up to $500.0 million of uncommitted borrowing capacity to finance the origination, acquisition or holding of certain mortgage servicing rights (the "GNMA MSR facility"). The GNMA MSR facility is collateralized by all of UWM's mortgage servicing rights that are appurtenant to mortgage loans pooled in securitization by Ginnie Mae that meet certain criteria. Available borrowings under the GNMA MSR facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral. Borrowings under the GNMA MSR facility will bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. As of September 30, 2023, $250.0 million was outstanding under the GNMA MSR facility.

The GNMA 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, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Excess Servicing Cash Flow Transactions

Pursuant to the guidelines of the GSEs, when we sell loans to the GSEs with servicing retained, we retain a minimum servicing fee (the “Base Servicing Fee”) to compensate us for servicing the mortgage loans. However, at times we may retain servicing fees for our MSRs that exceed the Base Servicing Fee. In 2023, we began conducting sales of the excess servicing fee cash flows on certain of our MSRs, whereby the rights to the excess fees are separated, securitized by the GSEs and sold, while we retain the obligation to service the loan and therefore continue to receive the base servicing fee. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we sold excess servicing cash flows on certain agency loans for proceeds of approximately $428.7 million.

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 had an initial one-year term and automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party. 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. We were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2023. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2023.

Borrowings Against Investment Securities

In 2021, our consolidated subsidiary, UWM, began selling some of the mortgage loans that it originates through private label securitization transactions. In executing these transactions, UWM 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 UWM due to regulatory requirements. UWM 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, 2023, we had $97.3 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 five months as of September 30, 2023, and interest rates based on 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 75% 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 interest on the secured borrowings. As of September 30, 2023, we had delivered $8.4 million of collateral to the counterparty under these sale and repurchase agreements.

Finance Leases

As of September 30, 2023, our finance lease liabilities were $33.3 million, $26.7 million of which relates to leases with related parties. The Company’s financing lease agreements have remaining terms ranging from approximately five months to thirteen years.

Cash flow data for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

	For the nine months ended September 30,
($ in thousands)	2023		2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	494,513	$	10,812,822
Net cash provided by investing activities	1,652,326		1,144,576
Net cash used in financing activities	(2,122,121)		(11,888,952)
Increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	24,718	$	68,446
Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period	729,616		799,534

Net cash provided by operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $494.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $10.8 billion for the same period in 2022. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities year-over-year was primarily driven by the larger decrease in mortgage loans at fair value in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2023.

Net cash provided by investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.7 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.1 billion of net cash provided by investing activities for the same period in 2022. The increase in cash flows provided by investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in proceeds from the sales of MSRs and excess servicing cash flows.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to cash used in financing activities of $11.9 billion for the same period in 2022. The decrease in cash used for financing activities year-over-year was primarily driven by a decrease in net repayments under the warehouse lines of credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily attributable to the smaller decrease in loans at fair value as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Contractual Obligations

Cash requirements from contractual and other obligations

As of September 30, 2023, 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, interest and principal payments under our MSR Facility and GNMA MSR Facility, and payments under our financing and operating lease agreements. In the first quarter of 2023, UWM entered into the GNMA MSR Facility, which provides for up to $500 million of available borrowing capacity secured against certain MSRs. As of September 30, 2023, $250.0 million was outstanding under the GNMA MSR facility. There have been no other material changes in the cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations since December 31, 2022.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Board declared a dividend of $0.10 per share of Class A common stock for an aggregate $9.4 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 Class B Units of Holdings LLC. The dividend and the distributions were paid on October 11, 2023.

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 and excess servicing cash flows, sale or securitization of loans into the secondary market, loan origination fees, servicing fee income, and interest income on mortgage loans.

39

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 an assessment of our 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. The blended average pullthrough rate was 80% and 77%, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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

($ in thousands)	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Interest rate lock commitments—fixed rate (a)	$	7,351,202	$	5,350,845
Interest rate lock commitments—variable rate (a)	—		8,839
Commitments to sell loans	2,299,656		608,703
Forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities	9,515,898		10,336,172

(a)Adjusted for pullthrough rates of 80% and 77%, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, we had sold $1.6 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 2023.

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 reserves. There were no significant changes to our policies, methodologies, or processes used in applying our critical accounting estimates from what was described in our 2022 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.

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 modeled. We used September 30, 2023 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, 2023 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. Actual results could differ materially.

42

	September 30, 2023
($ in thousands)	Down 25 bps		Up 25 bps
Increase (decrease) in assets
Mortgage loans at fair value	$	39,308	$	(40,999)
MSRs	(120,196)		109,657
IRLCs	51,635		(54,870)
Total change in assets	$	(29,253)	$	13,788
Increase (decrease) in liabilities
FLSCs	$	(93,098)	$	100,009
Total change in liabilities	$	(93,098)	$	100,009

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, 2023, our originated loans had a weighted average loan to value ratio of 82.67% and 83.15%, and a weighted average FICO score of 738 for both periods. 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. Management believes that the increase in the weighted average loan to value ratio year over year is primarily due to the increase in the percentage of purchase volume to total loan origination volume in 2023.

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 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 or nine months ended September 30, 2023 or September 30, 2022.

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

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.

43

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, 2023. 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, 2023 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 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. UWM filed a renewed motion to dismiss on September 7, 2021. On July 27, 2022, the magistrate judge assigned to consider UWM's motion to dismiss recommended that the amended complaint be dismissed in its entirety without prejudice. In response, Okavage filed a second amended class action complaint on November 8, 2022. On March 24, 2023, Okavage filed a motion for leave to file a supplemental complaint, which the court granted on July 18, 2023. On August 14, 2023, UWM filed a motion to dismiss the supplemental class action complaint. The motion to dismiss is pending before the Court.

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. UWM filed a motion to dismiss AML’s counterclaims, and on December 12, 2022, the court granted UWM’s motion in large part, dismissing all of AML’s counterclaims except for its declaratory judgment claim. On March 8, 2023, AML filed an amended counterclaim. On April 19, 2023, UWM filed a motion to dismiss the amended counterclaim, and that motion remains pending.

Item 5. Other Information

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, none of our officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) or directors adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 6, 2023, UWM entered into an amendment to the pricing side letter to the Master Repurchase Agreement and Securities Contract with Bank of Montreal (the “BMO Master Repurchase Agreement”). The amendment

44

increased the available line amount to $1 billion and effectuated other non-material changes to the BMO Master Repurchase Agreement. All other material terms of the BMO Master Repurchase Agreement remained the same.

The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the BMO Master Repurchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
