Finance of America Companies Inc. ("Finance of America" or the "Company") (NYSE:FOA), a leading provider of home equity-based financing solutions for a modern retirement, reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights⁽²⁾

• Funded volume of $596 million for the quarter, representing a 6% increase year over year, with volumes accelerating in March.
• $1.93 in basic earnings per share or $35 million of net income for the quarter. These results benefitted from growing funded volume, strong operating margin, and a modest fair value gain on our portfolio.
• $1.10 in adjusted earnings per share⁽¹⁾ or $26 million of adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ during the quarter, driven by improved origination gains, improved operating leverage, and increased capital markets activity, exceeding consensus estimates.
• Total equity increased to $438 million. Tangible equity⁽¹⁾ grew to $268 million, or $14.82 per share⁽¹⁾.
• Completed the repurchase of Blackstone's equity interest in Finance of America as of February 2026.

Graham A. Fleming, Chief Executive Officer commented, "The first quarter of 2026 was an outstanding quarter, with operational momentum in originations driving an acceleration in volumes and steady improvement in our financial results, liquidity, and capital position. Our focus is on translating that momentum into consistent, repeatable growth through the rest of 2026 and in the years ahead."

• As of March 31, 2026, the Company held $108 million in cash and cash equivalents, a 108% increase from March 31, 2025, reflecting strong cashflow from originations and capital markets activities.
• For the quarter, total equity increased to $438 million as of March 31, 2026, driven by strong profitability.
• Tangible equity⁽²⁾ increased to $268 million as of March 31, 2026, an increase of 43% from March 31, 2025.

Segment Results

Retirement Solutions

The Retirement Solutions segment generates revenue from fees earned at the time of loan origination as well as from the initial estimate of net origination gains, with all originated loans accounted for at fair value.

• For the quarter, funded volume increased 6% to $596 million compared to $561 million in first quarter 2025, reflecting continued demand for home equity solutions.
• Total revenue increased by 29% year over year to $67 million, as revenue margins improved due to tighter spreads.
• Profitability increased significantly as operating leverage improved with scale. Pre-tax income increased to $10 million from $3 million in first quarter 2025, a 233% improvement, while adjusted net income increased to $14 million from $9 million in first quarter 2025, a 56% improvement.

Portfolio Management

The Portfolio Management segment primarily generates revenue in the form of net interest income and fair value changes on our portfolio assets, monetized through securitization, sale, or other financing of those assets.

• Pre-tax income decreased 66% year over year to $36 million, reflecting smaller positive fair value adjustments on retained interests in securitizations, partially offset by higher accreted yield on the Company's residual interests.
• Adjusted net income increased 40% to $28 million compared to $20 million in first quarter 2025, reflecting improved portfolio economics and higher accreted yield.

Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only the Company's beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company's control. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, and other non-historical statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "believes," "expects," "potential," "continues," "may," "will," "should," "could," "seeks," "projects," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "budgets," "forecasts," "anticipates," or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements, including those risks described below. Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this release. Results for any specified quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters and attributable to the Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. A number of important factors exist that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those factors indicated in the Company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

All of these factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results, and may be beyond our control.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's management evaluates performance of the Company through the use of certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, tangible equity, and tangible equity per share.

The presentation of non-GAAP measures is used to enhance investors' understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes these key financial measures provide an additional view of our performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating cash flows, or any other performance measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings (loss) per share, tangible equity, and tangible equity per share have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations of these metrics are: (i) cash expenditures for future contractual commitments; (ii) cash requirements for working capital needs; (iii) cash requirements for certain tax payments; and (iv) all non-cash income/expense items.

Because of these limitations, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings (loss) per share, tangible equity, and tangible equity per share should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or distribute to shareholders. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using our non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. Users of our condensed consolidated financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our non-GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for:

1. Income taxes
2. Changes in fair value of loans, retained bonds, and related obligations due to market inputs or model assumptions, deferred purchase price liabilities, and convertible notes, and amortization of the discount on senior notes resulting from the fair value measurement at issuance.
3. Amortization of intangible assets.
4. Equity-based compensation.
5. Certain non-recurring costs and adjustments that management believes should be excluded as these do not relate to a recurring part of the core business operations. These items include amounts recognized for settlement of legal and regulatory matters, acquisition or divestiture-related expenses, and other one-time charges.
6. Income tax provision or benefit adjustments to apply an effective combined federal and state corporate tax rate to adjusted net income (loss) before income taxes.

Management considers adjusted net income (loss) important in evaluating our Company as a whole. This supplemental metric is utilized by our management team to assess the underlying key drivers and operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use this measure when analyzing our operating performance and comparability to peers. Adjusted net income (loss) is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition and use of this measure may vary from other companies in our industry.

Adjusted net income (loss) provides visibility to the underlying operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items that management does not believe are representative of our core earnings. Adjusted net income (loss) may also include other adjustments, as applicable, based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with our intent of providing a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for:

1. Income taxes
2. Changes in fair value of loans, retained bonds, and related obligations due to market inputs or model assumptions, deferred purchase price liabilities, and convertible notes, and amortization of the discount on senior notes resulting from the fair value measurement at issuance.
3. Amortization of intangible assets.
4. Equity-based compensation.
5. Certain non-recurring costs and adjustments that management believes should be excluded as these do not relate to a recurring part of the core business operations. These items include amounts recognized for settlement of legal and regulatory matters, acquisition or divestiture-related expenses, and other one-time charges.
6. Depreciation
7. Interest expense on non-funding debt, excluding amortization of the discount on senior notes resulting from the fair value measurement at issuance.

Management considers adjusted EBITDA important in evaluating the Company as a whole. This supplemental metric is utilized by our management team to assess the underlying key drivers and operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use this measure when analyzing our operating performance and comparability to peers. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition and use of this measure may vary from other companies in our industry.

Adjusted EBITDA provides visibility to the underlying operating performance by excluding the impact of certain items that management does not believe are representative of our core earnings. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable, based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with our intent of providing a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We define adjusted earnings (loss) per share as adjusted net income (loss) (defined above) plus interest expense on the exchangeable senior secured notes, net of a tax effect, if dilutive for adjusted earnings (loss) per share, divided by the weighted average shares outstanding, which includes outstanding Class A Common Stock plus the Class A Units of Finance of America Equity Capital owned by the noncontrolling interest on an if-converted basis, the exchange of the exchangeable senior secured notes on an if-converted basis if they are dilutive for adjusted earnings (loss) per share, the conversion of the convertible notes on an if-converted basis, the conversion of the preferred stock on an if-converted basis, and any shares under the treasury stock method.

Management considers adjusted earnings (loss) per share important in evaluating the Company as a whole. This supplemental metric is utilized by our management team to assess the underlying key drivers and operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use this measure when analyzing our operating performance and comparability to peers. Adjusted earnings (loss) per share is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition and use of this measure may vary from other companies in our industry.

A reconciliation of our forward-looking adjusted earnings per share outlook to U.S. GAAP earnings per share cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusted items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the company is unable to assess the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future U.S. GAAP financial results.

Tangible Equity

We define tangible equity as total equity less intangible assets, net. Management uses this metric to evaluate the Company's capital strength exclusive of intangible assets. We believe this measure is useful to analysts, investors, and creditors as it provides additional insight into the underlying equity position of the business. Tangible equity is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition and use of this measure may vary from other companies in our industry.

Tangible equity provides visibility to the underlying capital position by excluding the impact of certain items that management does not believe are representative of our core equity base. Tangible equity may also include other adjustments, as applicable, based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with our intent of providing a supplemental means of evaluating our financial strength.

Tangible Equity Per Share

We define tangible equity per share as tangible equity (defined above) divided by the adjusted Class A Common Stock outstanding, which is equal to the sum of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at quarter end, Class A LLC units if-converted to Class A Common Stock at quarter end, and Preferred Stock if-converted to Class A Common Stock at quarter end. Management uses this metric to evaluate the Company's total capital strength exclusive of intangible assets. We believe this measure is useful to analysts, investors, and creditors as it provides additional insight into the underlying equity position of the business. Tangible equity per share is not a presentation made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our definition and use of this measure may vary from other companies in our industry.

Tangible equity per share provides visibility to the total underlying capital position by excluding the impact of certain items that management does not believe are representative of our core equity base. Tangible equity per share may also include other adjustments, as applicable, based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with our intent of providing a supplemental means of evaluating our financial strength.
