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 11 - 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 11 - 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 17 - 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 has potential indemnification obligations to 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 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, to the extent that it is determined that the Gores Directors and Officers are entitled to indemnification, the Company is obligated to indemnify them 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. This insurance includes two separate towers of coverage with limits in excess of the Company's current estimate of any reasonably possible liability, and a deductible of $20.5 million.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
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
For certain loans sold to Ginnie Mae, the Company as the servicer has the unilateral right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae pool if that loan meets defined criteria (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due). When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase the delinquent loans, 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 accounts for income taxes during interim periods by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings (loss) before income taxes to compute the year-to-date tax expense (or benefit). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. See Note 15 – Income Taxes for further information.
Tax Receivable Agreement
The Company has entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") 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 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 taxable income allocation rules in the United States. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these tax savings.
The Company accounts for liabilities arising from the TRA as a loss contingency recorded within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other." Changes in the liability are measured and recorded when estimated amounts due under the TRA are probable and can be reasonably estimated, and reported as part of "Other expense/(income)" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9 - Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other for further information.
Related Party Transactions
The Company enters into various transactions with related parties. See Note 14 – 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/(income)").
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 68,744,413 shares remained available for issuance under the 2020 Plan as of March 31, 2024. 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 16 – Stock-based Compensation for further information.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-1, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which amends certain provisions of ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance requires all lessees in a lease with a lessor under common control to amortize leasehold improvements over the useful life of the common control group and provides new guidance for recognizing a transfer of assets between entities under common control as an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. There was no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard effective the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024.

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-7, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will include the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements once adopted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-9, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company will include the required disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements once adopted.


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.

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 79% and 76% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company primarily uses forward loan sale commitments (“FLSCs”) to economically hedge its pipeline of IRLCs and mortgage loans at fair value.

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 $229.7 billion and $299.5 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold MSRs on loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $87.8 billion and $34.3 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion and $379.1 million, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold excess servicing cash flows on certain agency loans with a total UPB of approximately $19.4 billion and $63.4 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $150.9 million and $305.5 million, respectively. In connection with these sales, the Company recorded a net $28.4 million and $18.1 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.
The following table summarizes the loan servicing income recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively (in thousands):
For the three months ended March 31,

Late, ancillary and other fees5,110 3,801 
Loan servicing income$184,702 $218,557 
The key unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of the Company’s MSRs were as follows at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively:

The hypothetical effect of adverse changes in these key assumptions would result in a decrease in fair values as follows at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, (in thousands):
 March 31,
2024

Discount rate:

+ 20% adverse change – effect on value(222,615)(269,702)
Prepayment speeds:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value$(86,217)$(124,651)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value(166,763)(240,082)
Cost of servicing:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value$(25,030)$(31,869)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value(50,060)(63,738)
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.

All interest rates are variable based upon a spread to SOFR or other alternative index.
1 An aggregate of $750.0 million of these line amounts is committed as of March 31, 2024.
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 we have 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 March 31, 2024, no amount was outstanding through the ASAP+ program and $35.5 million was outstanding through the EF program.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had pledged mortgage loans at fair value as collateral under the above warehouse lines of credit. The above agreements also contain 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 agreements. The Company was in compliance with all of these covenants as of March 31, 2024.
MSR Facilities
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, N.A., 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 securitization 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. Borrowings under the MSR Facility bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. 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 March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. The MSR Facility has a maturity date of November 5, 2024. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $100.0 million and $500.0 million, respectively, was outstanding under the MSR Facility.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company's 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 bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. 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. On March 20, 2024, UWM entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The First Amendment removed the minimum utilization fee on undrawn amounts and extended the maturity date of the GNMA MSR Facility. All other material terms of the GNMA MSR facility remained the same. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. The draw period for the GNMA MSR facility ends on March 20, 2026, and the facility has a maturity date of March 20, 2027. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $100.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively, was outstanding under the GNMA MSR facility.
Outstanding borrowings under the MSR facilities are reported within the "Secured lines of credit" financial statement line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Revolving Credit Facility

On August 8, 2022, UWM entered into a 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 March 31, 2024. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

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 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 $63.7 million and $58.6 million in UPB of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to its representations and warranties obligations.
The activity of the representations and warranties reserve was as follows (in thousands):

Commitments to Originate Loans
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had agreed to extend credit to potential borrowers for approximately $36.6 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 10VARIABLE 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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.
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 March 31, 2024, $106.2 million of the $108.3 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 $94.1 million with remaining maturities ranging from approximately one to two months as of March 31, 2024, 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 11NON-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:
March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Common UnitsOwnership PercentageCommon UnitsOwnership Percentage
UWM Holdings Corporation ownership of Class A Common Units 94,945,635 5.95 %93,654,269 5.87 %
SFS Corp. ownership of Class B Common Units1,502,069,787 94.05 %1,502,069,787 94.13 %
Balance at end of period1,597,015,422 100.00 %1,595,724,056 100.0 %
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 March 31, 2024, SFS Corp. has not exchanged any Stapled Interests.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 1,291,366 shares of Class A common stock, net of withholdings, which primarily related to the vesting of RSUs under its stock-based compensation plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 525,997 shares of Class A common stock which primarily related to the vesting of RSUs under its stock-based compensation plan. 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 12 – REGULATORY NET WORTH REQUIREMENTS
Certain secondary market agencies and state regulators require UWM to maintain minimum net worth, capital, and liquidity 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 USDA, HUD, Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. As of March 31, 2024, the most restrictive of these requirements require UWM to maintain a minimum net worth of $668.1 million, liquidity of $305.8 million, and a minimum capital ratio of 6%. At March 31, 2024, UWM was in compliance with these requirements.

NOTE 13 – 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 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 March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

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.

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.

NOTE 14 – 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. The Company also makes leasehold improvements to these properties for the benefit of the Company, for which the Company is responsible pursuant to the terms of the lease agreements;
Legal services are provided to the Company by a law firm in which the Company’s founder is a partner;
The Company leases aircraft owned by entities controlled by the Company’s CEO to facilitate travel of Company executives for business purposes. Our executive officers (other than the CEO) may, from time to time, be authorized by the CEO to use the aircraft for personal trips;
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 March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company made net payments of approximately $5.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively, to various companies related through common ownership. Such related party payments were comprised of, (i) with respect to the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately $4.9 million in rent and other occupancy related fees, $0.2 million in legal fees, and $0.1 million in other general and administrative expenses and (ii) with respect to the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately $4.6 million in rent and other occupancy related fees, $0.1 million in legal fees and $0.1 million in other general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company made payments of $0.1 million and $0.2 million to unrelated third parties for pilots and ancillary services related to usage of the aircraft for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 15 – INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was 2.03% and 0.72% 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.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $5.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, there was $39.6 million and $14.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense, respectively, related to unvested awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years and 2.2 years, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 1.2 million RSUs with a weighted average grant date fair value of $6.80, and vesting terms ranging from immediate to four years from the grant date.

NOTE 17 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company has 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 (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 11, 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 March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023.













The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

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 dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Under the if-converted method, all of the Company's net income (loss) for the applicable periods is attributable to Class A common shareholders. The net income (loss) 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 using the treasury stock method and the impact was either anti-dilutive or immaterial.

NOTE 18SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to March 31, 2024, 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 July 11, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 20, 2023. Additionally, the Board approved a proportional distribution to SFS Corp. of $150.2 million which is payable on or about July 11, 2024 .


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 February 28, 2024. 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

We are the largest overall residential mortgage lender in the U.S., by closed loan volume, despite originating mortgage loans exclusively through the wholesale channel. For the last nine years, including the year ended December 31, 2023 we have also been the largest wholesale mortgage lender in the U.S. by closed loan volume. 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.

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. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 89% of the loans we originated were sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, or were transferred to Ginnie Mae pools in the secondary market, while the remainder were primarily jumbo loans that are underwritten to the same “Qualified Mortgage" underwriting standards and have a similar risk profile but are sold to third party investors primarily due to loan size. The mortgage origination process generally begins with a borrower entering into an IRLC with us that is arranged by an independent mortgage broker, 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 generally 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, other investors, 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 currently retain the majority of the MSRs associated with our production, but we have, and intend to continue to opportunistically sell MSRs depending on market conditions. This nimble approach has provided us funding flexibility, and reduced legacy MSR asset exposure. 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;
•    loan origination and certain other fees related to the origination of 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 Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 Summary

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we originated $27.6 billion in loans, which was an increase of $5.3 billion, or 23.7%, from the $22.3 billion of originations during the three months ended March 31, 2023. We reported net income of $180.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was an increase of $319.1 million, compared to a net loss of $138.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $101.5 million as compared to $141.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. 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.

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.

Loan servicing income was $184.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $33.9 million, or 15.5%, as compared to $218.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in loan servicing income during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by a decline in the average servicing portfolio, partially offset by higher average servicing fees.

Servicing costs decreased $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of lower loss mitigation expenses, a decline in the average servicing portfolio, and improved pricing with our sub-servicers.

Change in Fair Value of Mortgage Servicing Rights

The change in fair value of MSRs was a net decrease of $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared with a net decrease of $337.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The net decrease in fair value of MSRs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to a decline in fair value of approximately $128.2 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $28.4 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales and sales of excess servicing cash flows, offset by an increase in fair value of approximately $141.1 million due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, mainly as a result of increases in market interest rates. The net decrease in fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of approximately $337.3 million was attributable to a decrease of approximately $222.9 million resulting from changes in valuation inputs and assumptions, primarily due to changes in market interest rates, a decline of approximately $96.3 million due to realization of cash flows, decay, and other (including loans paid in full) and approximately $18.1 million of net reserves and transaction costs for bulk MSR sales and sales of excess servicing cash flows.
Interest income and Interest expense
For the periods presented below, interest income and the components of and total interest expense were as follows:

Net interest income$43,438 $53,999 
Interest expense on non-funding debt $40,243 $42,703 
Total interest expense98,668 63,284 
Net interest income (interest income less interest expense on funding facilities) was $43.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $10.6 million, or 20%, as compared to $54.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as a result of an increase in interest income along with an increase in interest expense on funding facilities. Interest income increased due to higher average balances of mortgage loans at fair value, partially offset by lower average note rates on mortgage loans at fair value. Interest expense on funding facilities increased due to higher average warehouse balances and higher interest rates on warehouse facilities, all of which are variable based on short-term interest rate benchmarks (which were higher in the first quarter of 2024) plus a spread, partially offset by higher credits from warehouse lenders on custodial and other deposits.
Interest expense on non-funding debt was $40.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a slight decrease from $42.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings on the MSR facilities.

Other costs were $256.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $56.0 million, or 27.9%, as compared to $200.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries, commissions and benefits of $33.2 million, or 27.5%, primarily due to an increase in average team member count, an increase in direct loan production costs of $15.0 million primarily due to costs associated with our 1% down payment assistance program (launched in the second quarter of 2023) as well as increased loan production volume, an increase in general and administrative expense of $6.2 million primarily due to increases in occupancy and equipment expenses and professional service fees, as well as an increase in marketing, travel and entertainment expenses of $1.9 million from our continued investment in our broker relationships through broker visits and training programs.

Income Taxes

We recorded a $3.7 million provision for income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a benefit for income taxes of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily due to the increase in pre-tax income attributable to the Company.

Net income (loss)

Net income was $180.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $319.1 million or 230.2%, as compared to net loss of $138.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in net income was primarily


the result of an increase in total revenue, net of $408.7 million, partially offset by an increase in total expenses (including income taxes) of $89.5 million, as further described above.

Net income attributable to the Company of $8.7 million and net loss attributable to the Company of $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, includes the net income (loss) 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., including tax distributions.

Our consolidated subsidiary, Holdings LLC, is generally required from time to time to make distributions in cash to SFS Corp. (as well as distributions to UWMC) 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, including our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement that we entered into with SFS Corp. at the time of initial listing.

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 secured and unsecured indebtedness and available equity, our strategic investments, including technology and growth of the wholesale channel, the availability or desirability of 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.

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 March 31, 2024, 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.

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 March 31, 2024, no amount was outstanding under the ASAP+ program and $35.5 million was outstanding through 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 secured and 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 March 31, 2024.

Other Financing Facilities

Senior Notes

On November 3, 2020, our consolidated subsidiary, UWM, issued $800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due November 15, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). The 2025 Senior Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.500% per annum.

In addition, we may, at our option, redeem the 2027 Senior Notes prior to June 15, 2024 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus a “make-whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The indentures governing the 2025 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes, and the 2027 Senior Notes contain certain operating covenants and restrictions, subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including restrictions on our ability to (1) incur additional non-funding indebtedness unless either (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (as defined in the applicable indenture) is no less than 3.0 to 1.0 or (z) the Debt-to-Equity Ratio (as defined in the applicable indenture) does not exceed 2.0 to 1.0, (2) merge, consolidate or sell assets, (3) make restricted payments, including distributions, (4) enter into transactions with affiliates, (5) enter into sale and leaseback transactions and (6) incur liens securing indebtedness. We were in compliance with the terms of these indentures as of March 31, 2024.
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 “Citi MSR Facility”). The Citi 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, as well as mandatory curtailments, under the Citi MSR Facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral, and borrowings under the Citi MSR Facility bear interest based on one-month term SOFR plus an applicable margin. The Citi MSR Facility has a maturity date of November 5, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, $100.0 million was outstanding under the Citi MSR Facility.
The Citi 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 March 31, 2024, 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.


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, as well as mandatory curtailments, under the GNMA MSR facility are based on the fair market value of the collateral. Borrowings under the GNMA MSR facility bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. On March 20, 2024, UWM entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The First Amendment removed the minimum utilization fee on undrawn amounts and extended the maturity date of the GNMA MSR Facility to March 20, 2027. All other material terms of the GNMA MSR facility remained the same. The draw period for the GNMA MSR facility ends on March 20, 2026. As of March 31, 2024, $100.0 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 March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants.
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 March 31, 2024. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2024.

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 March 31, 2024, we had $94.1 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 two months as of March 31, 2024, 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 73% 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 March 31, 2024, we had delivered $1.1 million of collateral to the counterparty under these sale and repurchase agreements.

Finance Leases

As of March 31, 2024, our finance lease liabilities were $28.5 million, $25.9 million of which relates to leases with related parties. The Company’s financing lease agreements have remaining terms ranging from approximately three months to twelve years.

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.20 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.99 billion for the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities year-over-year was primarily driven by the increase in mortgage loans at fair value in the period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a decrease in mortgage loans at fair value in the period ended March 31, 2023.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $1.29 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $644.4 million of net cash provided by investing activities for the same period in 2023. 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 provided by financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.02 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to cash used in financing activities of $2.60 billion for the same period in 2023. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by net borrowings under warehouse lines of credit (due to the increase in mortgage loans at fair value), partially offset by net repayments on our MSR facilities, member distributions (including tax distributions) and dividends. Net cash used in financing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by net repayments under warehouse lines of credit (due to the decrease in mortgage loans at fair value), along with net repayments on our MSR facilities, member distributions and dividends.

Contractual Obligations

Cash requirements from contractual and other obligations

As of March 31, 2024, 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, payments under our financing and operating lease agreements, and required tax distributions to SFS Corp. There have been no other material changes in the cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations since December 31, 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, 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 April 11, 2024.
Our consolidated subsidiary, Holdings LLC, is generally required from time to time to make distributions in cash to SFS Corp. (as well as distributions to UWMC) in amounts sufficient to cover the taxes on its allocable share of the taxable income of Holdings LLC. In April 2024, Holdings LLC made a $25.6 million tax distribution to SFS Corp. and a proportional $1.6 million tax distribution was made by Holdings LLC to UWMC.
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.


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 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 79% and 76% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Following is a summary of the notional amounts of commitments as of dates indicated:
($ in thousands)March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Interest rate lock commitments—fixed rate (a)$9,339,930 $6,258,801 
Interest rate lock commitments—variable rate (a) 5,926 
Commitments to sell loans2,830,703 2,501,298 
Forward commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities10,020,802 7,968,677 
(a)Adjusted for pullthrough rates of 79% and 76%, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, we had sold $2.1 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 April 2024.

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 reserve. There were no significant changes to our policies, methodologies, or processes used in applying our critical accounting estimates from what was described in our 2023 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, and estimated float earnings increase, 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, and estimated float earnings decrease, 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 our origination business provides a natural hedge to servicing. We periodically evaluate our overall interest rate risk management strategy with respect to MSRs, which includes consideration of our natural business model hedge, regular sales of MSRs and excess servicing cash flows, and the effectiveness of entering into financial instruments to specifically hedge all our a portion of our MSR portfolio. While we have typically focused on the natural business model hedge and on regular MSR sales as part of our MSR interest rate risk management activities and have not historically specifically hedged MSRs using derivative or other financial instruments, we will continue to periodically monitor, evaluate and adjust our hedging strategy for MSRs based on our evaluation of the composition of our servicing portfolio and relevant market conditions.

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 March 31, 2024 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 March 31, 2024 given hypothetical instantaneous parallel shifts in the yield curve. Actual results could differ materially.
March 31, 2024
($ in thousands)Down 25 bpsUp 25 bps
Increase (decrease) in assets
Mortgage loans at fair value$45,040 $(48,795)
MSRs(98,739)97,441 
IRLCs55,116 (63,501)

Increase (decrease) in liabilities
FLSCs$(97,677)$106,789 
Total change in liabilities$(97,677)$106,789 

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 months ended March 31, 2024, our originated loans had a weighted average loan to value ratio of 82.37%, and a weighted average FICO score of 735. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our originated loans had a weighted average loan to value ratio of 83.51%, and a weighted average FICO score of 737.

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 months ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023.

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.

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 March 31, 2024. 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 March 31, 2024 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, monetary 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. While UWM's motion to dismiss is pending before the Court, on February 6, 2024, the Magistrate Judge issued a report and recommendation that UWM's motion be granted and that the complaint be dismissed on all counts. The plaintiffs filed objections to the Magistrate's report, and UWM filed a response to such objections.

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. On March 18, 2022, UWM filed a motion to dismiss AML’s counterclaims, and on December 22, 2022, the court granted UWM’s motion in large part, dismissing all of AML’s counterclaims except for its declaratory judgment claim, and AML filed a motion for reconsideration of the court’s order. On March 8, 2023, AML filed an amended counterclaim, which was also dismissed on March 29, 2024. On April 12, 2024, AML filed a Motion for Reconsideration. Both AML’s motion for reconsideration and UWM’s complaint remain pending.

On April 2, 2024, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against UWM, the Company, SFS Corp., and Mat Ishbia, individually (collectively, the “UWM Defendants”) by Therisa D. Escue, et al. (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”). The Plaintiffs seek class certification, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees and equitable and injunctive relief. The Plaintiffs allege, among other things, that for mortgage loans originated through UWM, UWM improperly influenced mortgage brokers in its network to steer prospective borrowers to obtain their mortgage loans from UWM at pricing and subject to fees substantially in excess of that charged by competitors, and that such mortgage brokers did not act


independently but instead were captive to UWM. The UWM Defendants deny the allegations in the complaint and believe the allegations are without merit.
Item 5. Other Information

Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 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 March 20, 2024, UWM entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent (the “Agent”), and the lender parties from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), amending the Credit Agreement, dated March 20 2023 (the “MSR Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment removed the minimum utilization fee on undrawn amounts and extended the maturity date of the GNMA MSR Facility to March 20, 2027. All other material terms of the MSR Credit Agreement remained the same.

The Agent and Lender and certain affiliates of the Agent and Lender have performed commercial banking, investment banking, or advisory services for UWM or the Company from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In addition, these entities may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for UWM or the Company in the ordinary course of its business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

The foregoing description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MSR Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.23A.

If (i) the then-current Benchmark for any Interest Accrual Period with respect to a proposed Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to a Lender of funding an Advance or (ii) any Change in Law (A) shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent (each of which, an “Affected Party”) to any Taxes (other than (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (z) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party or (C) shall impose any other condition affecting the rights of any Lender and the Administrative Agent hereunder, and in each case the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Party under this Agreement or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement below that which such Affected Party would have received but for such occurrence, then within 30 days following the receipt of written demand by such Affected Party (provided that such Affected Party shall provide the Borrower with notice within a reasonable period of time following such Affected Party’s discovery of such increased costs or reductions), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered to the extent such additional or increased costs or reduction are incurred or suffered in connection with any obligation to make
    -38-



Advances hereunder, any of the rights of such Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, or any payment made hereunder.
(c)Capital Adequacy. If any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged by Applicable Law with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender or its parent corporation with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, in each case made subsequent to the date hereof, has or would have effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such introduction, change, compliance or change (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then on the next Monthly Payment Date following the receipt of written demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction.
If as a result of any event or circumstance similar to those described in Sections 2.11(b) or (c), any Affected Party is required to compensate a bank or other financial institution providing liquidity support, credit enhancement or other similar support to such Affected Party in connection with this Agreement or the funding or maintenance of Advances hereunder, then on the next Monthly Payment Date following the receipt of written demand by such Affected Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to reimburse such Affected Party for any amounts paid by it. In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.11, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
Any Affected Party making a claim or demand under this Section 2.11 shall submit to the Borrower a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, showing the basis for such claim or demand in reasonable detail including calculation thereof, which basis must be reasonable and supported, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If any material amounts are required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or (c), the Borrower shall be entitled to, upon written notice (which notice shall be received within five (5) Business Days after the applicable demand or claim), prepay all outstanding Advances held by such Affected Party and terminate the Agreement with respect to such Affected Party. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable.
(d)Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
(i)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th)
    -39-



Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.
(ii)In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(iii)The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (w) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (x) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (y) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (z) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Majority Lenders, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11(d), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their reasonable discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11(d).
(iv)Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance.
(e)Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any Lender shall have reasonably determined in good faith that any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for such Lender to fund or maintain any Advance by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, following which (i) such Lender’s obligation to fund any Advance shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again fund and maintain its Advances hereunder, (ii) if a Notice of Borrowing has been submitted pursuant to Section 2.4(a) but the affected Advance has not been funded, the Borrower may revoke such Notice of Borrowing by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent thereof on the same day that such Borrower was notified by the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) and (iii) if such Law shall so mandate, such Lender’s outstanding Advances shall be prepaid by the Borrower together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under this Agreement on the next Monthly Payment Date with respect to such Advances (or before such date as shall be mandated by such Law), it being acknowledged that any amounts
    -40-



prepaid pursuant to clause (c) above may be paid with an Advance or Advances made with an interest rate calculated by reference to the Alternative Rate.
Section 2.12    Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower (through, to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.7) shall make each payment and prepayment hereunder and under the Loan Notes in respect of principal, interest, expenses, indemnities, fees or other Obligations due from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.3 or to the Administrative Agent’s Account in immediately available, same-day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to more than one Lender, then to such Lenders ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lenders and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, then to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with Section 2.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Administrative Agent does not receive the full amount of any payment required hereunder when due, the Administrative Agent may hold any such partial payment for one (1) Business Day prior to distribution of such amounts. All computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. All computations of interest based on the Alternative Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(f)All payments to be made in respect of fees due hereunder to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower shall be made pursuant to Section 2.7, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without setoff, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature (other than with respect to Taxes pursuant to Section 2.14), and an action therefor shall immediately accrue.
Section 2.13    Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Loan Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest.
Section 2.14    Taxes.
(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.14 the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as
    -41-



determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.8 relating to the maintenance of the Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.14(e).
(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
    -42-



Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)Status of Recipients.
(i)Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.14(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A)any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Recipient that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to
    -43-



the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower) to the effect that such Recipient is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(4)to the extent a Recipient is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9 or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Recipient may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)any Recipient which is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)if a payment made to a Recipient under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of
    -44-



FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.14(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.14(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.14(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the
    -45-



replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.
Section 2.15    Security Interest. (a) Subject to the terms of the Acknowledgment Agreement, the Borrower hereby grants, pledges and assigns to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of each Secured Party) as security for the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under, in any case, whether now held or hereafter acquired:
(i)all Ginnie Mae MSRs;
(ii)all Servicing Income;
(iii)the Collection Account and all sums from time to time on deposit in it;
(iv)the Borrower’s rights, powers and remedies under any Approved Subservicing Agreements;
(v)all Related Security;
(vi)the Borrower’s rights, powers and remedies under the Portfolio Hedges (which shall be acceptable in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and any rights to receive payments thereunder or any rights to collateral thereunder whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created;
(vii)all rights to have and receive any of the Collateral described above, all accessions or additions to and substitutions for any of such Collateral, together with all renewals and replacements of any of such Collateral, all of the Borrower’s present and future accounts, payment intangibles and general intangibles arising from or relating to any Collateral; and
(viii)all Records relating to and all proceeds of the foregoing, including all insurance and claims for insurance effected or held for the benefit of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in respect of any of the foregoing, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, accruing or accrued, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Ginnie Mae MSRs, any Servicing Receivables (collectively, (i)-(viii), the “Collateral”).
(j)The parties acknowledge that Ginnie Mae has certain rights under the Acknowledgment Agreement, including the right to cause the Borrower to transfer servicing to a transferee servicer under certain circumstances as more particularly set forth therein. The transferee servicer shall have all the rights and remedies against the Borrower and the Collateral as set forth herein and under the UCC.
    -46-



(k)GS&Co. hereby acknowledges the grant, pledge and assignment of the Borrower’s rights (but not its obligations) under the Portfolio Hedges set forth in Section 2.15(a)(vi) and agrees that such grant, pledge and assignment does not violate any restrictions related thereto set forth in such Portfolio Hedges.
(l)The Borrower will promptly, at its expense, execute and deliver such instruments, financing and continuation statements and documents and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time in order to perfect, protect, evidence, exercise and enforce the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interests, rights and remedies under and with respect to the Transaction Documents, the Acknowledgment Agreement, the Advances and the Collateral. To the extent the Borrower has filed or caused the filing of any document as provided above, the Borrower, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document recorded, registered or filed as provided above, as soon as available following such recording, registration or filing.
(m)If the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations in this Section 2.15, then the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform or cause to be performed such obligation, and the costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower fails to perform any of its obligations, the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the expense of the Borrower, at any time and from time to time, to take all actions and pay all amounts that the Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate to protect, enforce, preserve, insure, service, administer, manage, perform, maintain, safeguard, collect or realize on the Collateral, including the right to liquidate the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent’s Liens and interests therein or thereon and to give effect to the intent of the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement. No Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall be cured by the payment or performance of any obligation by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may make any such payment in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, Tax Lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by the Borrower in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.
(n)Upon termination of this Agreement and Payment in Full, Administrative Agent shall release its security interests in the Collateral and promptly file termination statements with respect to each financing statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.15 and take such other action as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower to evidence such release.
Section 2.16    Limited Pledge of Ginnie Mae Servicing. The Administrative Agent and each additional Lender acknowledge and agree that (x) the Borrower is entitled to the Servicing Income with respect to a given mortgage pool only so long as Borrower is a Ginnie Mae approved issuer; (y) upon the Borrower’s loss of such approved issuer status, the Administrative
    -47-



Agent and each additional Lender’s rights to any Servicing Income related to a given mortgage pool also terminate; and (z) the pledge of the Borrower’s rights to Servicing Income conveys no rights (such as a right to become a substitute servicer or issuer) that are not otherwise specifically provided for in the Ginnie Mae Contract, provided that this sentence shall automatically be deemed amended or modified if and to the extent Ginnie Mae amends the Ginnie Mae Contract, the Acknowledgment Agreement, if any, or published announcements and provided further that the security interest created hereby is subject to the following provision to be included in each financing statement filed in respect hereof:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein:
    (a)    The property subject to the security interest reflected in this instrument includes all of the right, title and interest of United Wholesale Mortgage, LLC (“Debtor”) in certain mortgages and/or participation interests related to such mortgages (“Pooled Mortgages”), and pooled under the mortgage-backed securities program of the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”), pursuant to section 306(g) of the National Housing Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g);
    (b)    To the extent that the security interest reflected in this instrument relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages, such security interest is subject and subordinate to all rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae, whether now existing or hereafter arising, under and in connection with: (i) 12 U.S.C. § 1721(g) and any implementing regulations; (ii) the terms and conditions of that certain Acknowledgment Agreement, dated on or about March 20, 2023, with respect to the Security Interest, by and among Ginnie Mae, Debtor and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative agent; (iii) applicable Guaranty Agreements and contractual agreements between Ginnie Mae and the Debtor; and (iv) the Ginnie Mae Mortgage-Backed Securities Guide, Handbook 5500.3 Rev. 1, and other applicable guides (items (i), (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “Ginnie Mae Contract”);
    (c)    Such rights, powers and prerogatives of Ginnie Mae include, but are not limited to, Ginnie Mae’s right, by issuing a letter of extinguishment to Debtor, to effect and complete the extinguishment of all redemption, equitable, legal or other right, title or interest of the Debtor in the Pooled Mortgages, in which event the security interest as it relates in any way to the Pooled Mortgages shall instantly and automatically be extinguished as well; and
    -48-



    (d)    For purposes of clarification, “subject and subordinate” in clause (b) above means, among other things, that any cash held by Goldman Sachs Bank USA as collateral and any cash proceeds received by Goldman Sachs Bank USA in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the collateral may only be applied by Goldman Sachs Bank USA to the extent that such proceeds have been received by, or for the account of, the Debtor free and clear of all Ginnie Mae rights and other restrictions on transfer under applicable Ginnie Mae guidelines; provided that this clause (d) shall not be interpreted as establishing rights in favor of Ginnie Mae except to the extent that such rights are reflected in, or arise under, the Ginnie Mae Contract.

    -51-



(a)Organization; Corporate Powers. The Borrower (i) is a duly organized and validly existing limited liability company, in good standing under the laws of the State of Michigan, (ii) has the corporate power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage, and (iii) is duly qualified, in good standing and is authorized to do business in every jurisdiction where its assets are located and wherever necessary to carry out its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing has not had, and would not be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)Authority and Enforceability. The Borrower has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement and has taken all necessary company or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each Transaction Document and the Acknowledgment Agreement and each Transaction Document and the Acknowledgment Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement and obligation of it enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
(c)Equity Interests and Ownership. Schedule 4.1(c) correctly sets forth the ownership interest of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries in their respective Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(c), as of the Closing Date, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which the Borrower is a party requiring, and there is no membership interest or other Equity Interests of the Borrower outstanding which upon conversion, exchange or exercise would require, the issuance by the Borrower of any additional membership interests or other Equity Interests of the Borrower or other Securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase, a membership interest or other Equity Interests of the Borrower, and no Securities or obligations evidencing any such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding.
(d)No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement do not and shall not (i) violate (w) any Applicable Law, (x) any of the organizational documents of the Borrower, (y) any order, judgment, injunction or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on the Borrower, or (ii) violate, result in a breach of or constitute (including with due notice or lapse of time or both) any indenture, loan agreement, warehouse line of credit, repurchase agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, servicing contract or any other material contractual obligation of the Borrower except to the extent such violation, breach or default would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Borrower (other than any Liens created under any of the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment
    -52-



Agreement in favor of Ginnie Mae or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties); or (iv) require any approval of stockholders, members or partners or any approval or consent of any Person under any material contractual obligation of the Borrower, except for such approvals or consents which have been obtained on or before the Closing Date.
(e)Government Approvals. Except any which have been obtained, no order, consent, authorization, approval, license, or validation of, or filing recording, registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to authorize or is required as a condition to: (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of any Transaction Document or the Acknowledgment Agreement or any of its obligations thereunder or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Transaction Document or the Acknowledgment Agreement.
(f)Solvency. The Borrower is solvent and will not be rendered insolvent as a result of entering into any Transaction and, after giving effect to each Transaction, will not be left with an unreasonably small amount of capital with which to engage in its business. The Borrower does not intend to incur, nor believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature and is not contemplating, and is not aware of any Person threatening, the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of such entity or any of its assets. The Borrower is not selling and/or pledging any Ginnie Mae MSRs with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.
(g)True and Complete Disclosure.
(i)All information, reports, exhibits, schedules, financial statements or certificates of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates furnished or to be furnished to the Administrative Agent in connection with the initial or any ongoing due diligence of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or the negotiation, preparation, or delivery of the Transaction Documents or the Acknowledgment Agreement, are true and complete in all material respects. The written information (other than financial projections, forward looking statements, and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) that has been made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions hereunder, when taken as a whole, does not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in the light of the circumstances under which such statements are made; provided that with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time, it being understood that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual financials during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results.
    -53-



(ii)As of the Closing Date, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Closing Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.
(h)Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Borrower delivered to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date fairly present in all material respects the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Borrower as at the dates of such financial statements, and the results of the operations and changes of financial position for the periods then ended (other than customary year-end adjustments for unaudited financial statements). For the avoidance of doubt, the financial statements described in the preceding sentence (the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Administrative Agent) consist of copies of (i) each of the Borrower’s balance sheets for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022 and the related statements of income, cash flows, and members’ equity for the Borrower for such fiscal years, with the opinion thereon of Borrower’s independent auditors and (ii) the Borrower’s balance sheet for each month in calendar year 2023 and the related statement of income for the Borrower for such month. All such financial statements are complete and correct and fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Borrower and the results of its operations as at such dates and for such periods, all in accordance with GAAP (subject to the absence of footnotes for interim financial statements) applied on a consistent basis. Since the date of the most recent financial statements referenced above for the Borrower, there has been no Material Adverse Change in the consolidated business, operations or financial condition of the Borrower from that set forth in such financial statements nor is the Borrower aware of any state of facts which (with notice or the lapse of time) would or could result in any such Material Adverse Change. The Borrower had, on the date of the statements delivered pursuant to this clause (h) no material liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or material liabilities for taxes, leases or unusual forward or commitments not disclosed by, or reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements, and at the present time there are no material unrealized or anticipated losses from any loans, advances or other commitments of the Borrower except as heretofore disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing.
(i)Litigation. There is no action, proceeding or investigation pending involving the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority or Ginnie Mae (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any Transaction Document, the Acknowledgment Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Transaction Document, the Acknowledgment Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereunder, (iii) making a claim individually or in the aggregate that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect if adversely determined, (iv) which requires filing with the SEC in accordance with the Exchange Act or any rules thereunder or (v) which might materially and adversely affect the validity of Collateral, the Ginnie Mae Servicing Contract or the performance by it of its
    -54-



obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any Transaction Document, the Acknowledgment Agreement or any Transaction contemplated hereunder.
(j)Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will only use the proceeds of any Advance as permitted under Section 2.3. No part of the proceeds of any Advance will be used directly or indirectly to purchase or carry Margin Stock, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, in violation of any of the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. At no time would more than [***] of the value of the assets of the Borrower that are subject to any “arrangement” (as such term is used in Section 221.2(g) of such Regulation U) hereunder be represented by Margin Stock. The Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Transaction to purchase any asset or securities from, or otherwise transfer the proceeds of the Transaction to, an “affiliate” of any Lender, as such term is defined in 12 C.F.R. Part 223.
(k)Accounts. The name and address of the Account Bank, together with the account number of the Collection Account and the Borrower’s Account is specified on Schedule I to the Agency Fee Letter, as updated pursuant to Section 8.1.

To the extent permitted by Ginnie Mae, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a copy of the Ginnie Mae Servicing Contract (subject to redaction of certain provisions to the extent required by confidentiality restrictions), the Acknowledgment Agreement, all amendments, restatements, supplements or other modifications thereto, waivers relating thereto and other side letters or agreements affecting the terms thereof and all agreements and other material documents relating thereto, and the Borrower hereby certifies that the copies delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower is true, correct and complete. No such documents have been amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (including by way of waivers or forbearance), except by written instruments, copies of which have been delivered to the Administrative Agent. Each such document to which the Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and is in full force and effect, and no default or event of default (howsoever defined) has occurred and is continuing thereunder, except where the occurrence and continuance of such default or event of default would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
    -55-



(n)Forms of Servicing Contract. The Ginnie Mae Servicing Contract has been executed on the Ginnie Mae’s standard forms, which incorporates the Ginnie Mae Agency Guide with no amendment to such Ginnie Mae Servicing Contract that would grant Ginnie Mae additional or more favorable rights to terminate the servicer from those rights specified in the Ginnie Mae Agency Guide.

The Borrower is not in breach or default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, instrument, or indenture which default could have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no breaches or defaults under the Transaction Documents, the Acknowledgment Agreement or the Ginnie Mae Servicing Contract. No holder of any indebtedness of the Borrower has given notice of any asserted default thereunder.

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law. To the Borrower’s knowledge, there are and have been no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials activities which would reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower, or to its knowledge, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors, have filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Mortgaged Property, and none of the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state equivalent.

To the Borrower’s knowledge, no event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any release of Hazardous Materials or any Hazardous Materials activity which individually or in the aggregate has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower has adequate financial standing, facilities, procedures and experienced personnel necessary for the prudent oversight of subservicers to ensure the sound servicing of mortgage loans of the same types as may from time to time constitute Ginnie Mae Mortgage Loans and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Borrower is approved by Ginnie Mae as an approved issuer, and, to the extent necessary, approved by the Secretary of HUD pursuant to Sections 203 and 211 of the National Housing Act, as amended. In each such case, the Borrower is in good standing, with no event having occurred, including a change in insurance coverage which would either make the Borrower unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such applicable approvals or require notification to Ginnie Mae or to HUD, FHA or VA. Should the Borrower for any reason cease to possess all such applicable approvals, or should notification to Ginnie Mae or to HUD, FHA or VA be required, the Borrower shall immediately notify Administrative Agent immediately in writing.

Each of the Lenders agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender waives. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to any Lender any written information delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement promptly after any Lender’s reasonable request therefor.
Section 7.2    Powers. The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such
    -74-



powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 7.3    General Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrower or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, under any other Transaction Document or the Acknowledgment Agreement or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or (b) breach of contract by such Person with respect to the Transaction Documents or the Acknowledgment Agreement.
Section 7.4    No Responsibility for Advances, Creditworthiness, Collateral, Recitals, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Transaction Document or the Acknowledgment Agreement or any borrowing hereunder, (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Transaction Document or the Acknowledgment Agreement, (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Administrative Agent, (d) the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or (e) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of any Transaction Document, the Acknowledgment Agreement or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein, in any of the other Transaction Documents or the Acknowledgment Agreement, for the perfection or priority of any of the Liens on any of the Collateral, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, legality, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or the Acknowledgment Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any guarantor of any or all of the Obligations, the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
Section 7.5    Action on Instruction of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Transaction Document or the Acknowledgment Agreement in accordance with written instructions signed by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and on all holders of Loan Notes. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Transaction Document and the Acknowledgment Agreement unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
    -75-



Section 7.6    Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder, under any other Transaction Document and the Acknowledgment Agreement by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Administrative Agent’s duties hereunder, under any other Transaction Document and the Acknowledgment Agreement.
Section 7.7    Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Loan Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent.
Section 7.8    The Administrative Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify (on a pro rata basis based upon their Applicable Percentage) the Administrative Agent (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement, (b) for any other expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement and (c) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Transactions or the Transaction Documents, the Acknowledgment Agreement or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents; provided, each Lender agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Transactions or the Transaction Documents, the Acknowledgment Agreement or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents related to such Lender failing to maintain the confidentiality of any materials provided by the Servicing Diligence Agent and/or for taking any actions that cause the Administrative Agent to be liable to Ginnie Mae under the Acknowledgment Agreement; and provided further that in each case no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.
    -76-



Section 7.9    Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Advances made by it and the Loan Notes issued to it, in its capacity as a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder, under any other Transaction Document and the Acknowledgment Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”, as applicable, shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the Acknowledgment Agreement, with the Borrower or any of its Affiliates in which such Person is not prohibited hereby from engaging with any other Person.
Section 7.10    Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement.
Section 7.11    Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time (including if the Administrative Agent is no longer a Lender) by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, Ginnie Mae and the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may be removed at any time for cause by written notice received by the Administrative Agent from all of the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the exiting Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation or receipt of notice of removal, then the exiting Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent (but only if such successor is reasonably acceptable to each Lender) or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. After any exiting Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder, under the other Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement.
Section 7.12    Transaction Documents. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the Acknowledgment Agreement and each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to take all action contemplated by such documents in its capacity as Administrative Agent; provided that, with respect to the Servicing Diligence Agreement, each Lender hereunder shall execute and
    -77-



deliver a joinder or related agreement acknowledging acceptance of the terms thereof, on or prior to becoming a Lender hereunder. Each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Transaction Document or the Acknowledgment Agreement or seek to enforce or have standing to exercise any remedy against Ginnie Mae directly, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Acknowledgment Agreement. The Administrative Agent may, at the Lenders’ unanimous direction (in their sole discretion) and expense, at any time, have the Loan Notes rated by a rating agency. Any such rating shall not be a condition precedent to closing the credit facility set forth in this Agreement, nor shall any rating process or requests or any subsequent downgrade of any rating received impact the Borrower’s availability under the credit facility set forth in this Agreement. The Borrower shall provide reasonable assistance to obtain such rating.

If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon written demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the obligations owing to them. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.
(h)Except with respect to the exercise of set-off rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.7(a), the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder or with respect to any Collateral or Transaction Document, without the prior written consent of the other Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, at the direction of the Administrative Agent.
(i)Any amounts received by any Lender under this Section 9.7 will be applied to the Lenders’ Obligations on a pro rata basis.
(j)The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.
Section 9.8    Binding Effect; Assignment.
(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and any assignment by the Borrower in violation of this Section 9.8 shall be null and void.
(b)Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Loan Note to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such assignment or pledge shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(c)Subject to the terms of the Acknowledgment Agreement, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or any part or portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including its Loan Notes or its Advances) with the prior written consent of (x) the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required
    -86-



for an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) the Administrative Agent; provided that
(i)each party to such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption to the Administrative Agent, and
(ii)shall be to (x) a bank, other financial institution or lender which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, (y) a “qualified institutional buyer”, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (z) any other Person (other than the Borrower a natural Person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of natural persons or any Affiliates of the foregoing) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Upon, and to the extent of, any assignment (unless otherwise stated therein) made by any Lender hereunder, the assignee or purchaser of such assignment shall be a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and shall have all the rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.14(g)) of a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of the Advances owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and any assignment of outstanding Advances. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Any Lender may sell participation interests in its Advances and obligations hereunder (each such recipient of a participation a “Participant”); provided that after giving effect to the sale of such participation, such Lender’s obligations hereunder and rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, all amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and all rights to consent to any waiver hereunder or amendment hereof shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation interest, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender and not be obligated to deal with such participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the outstanding principal amounts (and accrued interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
    -87-



interest in any Advances or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Advances or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each recipient of a participation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights, benefits and obligations (including the obligation to provide documentation pursuant to Section 2.14(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)), hereunder with respect to the rights and benefits so participated as it would have if it were a Lender hereunder, except that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 2.14 than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Lender may pledge as collateral, or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its rights in, to and under this Agreement to (i) a security trustee in connection with the funding by such Lender of Advances or (ii) a Federal Reserve Bank to secure obligations to such Federal Reserve Bank, in each case without the consent of the Borrower; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release such Lender from its obligations under this Agreement.

(a)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Collateral and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”). The Administrative Agent and each Lender understand that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.

(b)Additionally, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall keep the Borrower’s financial statements and other confidential or proprietary information provided by the Borrower in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document confidential and shall not disclose such financial statements or other such information to any other party without the prior written consent of the Borrower, except that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may disclose such information (i) to its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, accountants, auditors, advisors, prospective lenders (including any assignee and Participant) or representatives (collectively, the
    -90-



Recipients”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of this Agreement or any Transaction Document and have been advised of the confidential nature of such information, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Recipients, (iii) to the extent such information was available to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder, (iv) to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement or (v)  to the extent the Administrative Agent or a Lender should be (A) required in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that in the case of clause (v)(A) above, the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as applicable, will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by law) notify the Borrower of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making any such disclosure.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Documents or the Acknowledgment Agreement, (i) the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment and (ii) the Borrower may not disclose the Fee Letters, any pricing terms or other nonpublic business or financial information (including the Financial Covenants) that is unrelated to the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.21    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
ARTICLE Ia reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(i)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such
    -92-



shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or
(ii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 9.22    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivative Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

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 11 - 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 11 - 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 17 - 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 has potential indemnification obligations to 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 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, to the extent that it is determined that the Gores Directors and Officers are entitled to indemnification, the Company is obligated to indemnify them 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. This insurance includes two separate towers of coverage with limits in excess of the Company's current estimate of any reasonably possible liability, and a deductible of $20.5 million.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
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.

For certain loans sold to Ginnie Mae, the Company as the servicer has the unilateral right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae pool if that loan meets defined criteria (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due). When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase the delinquent loans, 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 accounts for income taxes during interim periods by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings (loss) before income taxes to compute the year-to-date tax expense (or benefit). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. See Note 15 – Income Taxes for further information.
Tax Receivable Agreement
The Company has entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") 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 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 taxable income allocation rules in the United States. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these tax savings.
The Company accounts for liabilities arising from the TRA as a loss contingency recorded within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other." Changes in the liability are measured and recorded when estimated amounts due under the TRA are probable and can be reasonably estimated, and reported as part of "Other expense/(income)" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 9 - Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other for further information.
Related Party Transactions
The Company enters into various transactions with related parties. See Note 14 – 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/(income)").
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 68,744,413 shares remained available for issuance under the 2020 Plan as of March 31, 2024. 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 16 – Stock-based Compensation for further information.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-1, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which amends certain provisions of ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance requires all lessees in a lease with a lessor under common control to amortize leasehold improvements over the useful life of the common control group and provides new guidance for recognizing a transfer of assets between entities under common control as an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. There was no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard effective the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024.

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-7, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will include the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements once adopted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-9, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company will include the required disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements once adopted.

Mortgage Loans at Fair Value 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.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivatives 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 79% and 76% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company primarily uses forward loan sale commitments (“FLSCs”) to economically hedge its pipeline of IRLCs and mortgage loans at fair value.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

Transfers and Servicing [Abstract]  
Mortgage Servicing Rights 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 $229.7 billion and $299.5 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold MSRs on loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $87.8 billion and $34.3 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion and $379.1 million, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold excess servicing cash flows on certain agency loans with a total UPB of approximately $19.4 billion and $63.4 billion, respectively, for proceeds of approximately $150.9 million and $305.5 million, respectively. In connection with these sales, the Company recorded a net $28.4 million and $18.1 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.

The hypothetical effect of adverse changes in these key assumptions would result in a decrease in fair values as follows at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, (in thousands):
 March 31,
2024

Discount rate:

Prepayment speeds:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value$(86,217)$(124,651)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value(166,763)(240,082)
Cost of servicing:
+ 10% adverse change – effect on value$(25,030)$(31,869)
+ 20% adverse change – effect on value(50,060)(63,738)
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.

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 we have 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 March 31, 2024, no amount was outstanding through the ASAP+ program and $35.5 million was outstanding through the EF program.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had pledged mortgage loans at fair value as collateral under the above warehouse lines of credit. The above agreements also contain 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 agreements. The Company was in compliance with all of these covenants as of March 31, 2024.
MSR Facilities
In the third quarter of 2022, the Company's consolidated subsidiary, UWM, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Citibank, N.A., 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 securitization 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. Borrowings under the MSR Facility bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. 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 March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. The MSR Facility has a maturity date of November 5, 2024. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $100.0 million and $500.0 million, respectively, was outstanding under the MSR Facility.
In the first quarter of 2023, the Company's 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 bear interest based on SOFR plus an applicable margin. 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. On March 20, 2024, UWM entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The First Amendment removed the minimum utilization fee on undrawn amounts and extended the maturity date of the GNMA MSR Facility. All other material terms of the GNMA MSR facility remained the same. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants. The draw period for the GNMA MSR facility ends on March 20, 2026, and the facility has a maturity date of March 20, 2027. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $100.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively, was outstanding under the GNMA MSR facility.
Outstanding borrowings under the MSR facilities are reported within the "Secured lines of credit" financial statement line item on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2027 Senior Notes prior to June 15, 2024 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus a "make-whole" premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
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 March 31, 2024.
Revolving Credit Facility

On August 8, 2022, UWM entered into a 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 March 31, 2024. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

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 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 $63.7 million and $58.6 million in UPB of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to its representations and warranties obligations.

Variable Interest Entities 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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.
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 March 31, 2024, $106.2 million of the $108.3 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 $94.1 million with remaining maturities ranging from approximately one to two months as of March 31, 2024, 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.

Balance at end of period1,597,015,422 100.00 %1,595,724,056 100.0 %
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 March 31, 2024, SFS Corp. has not exchanged any Stapled Interests.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 1,291,366 shares of Class A common stock, net of withholdings, which primarily related to the vesting of RSUs under its stock-based compensation plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company issued 525,997 shares of Class A common stock which primarily related to the vesting of RSUs under its stock-based compensation plan. 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.

Regulatory Net Worth Requirements REGULATORY NET WORTH REQUIREMENTS
Certain secondary market agencies and state regulators require UWM to maintain minimum net worth, capital, and liquidity 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 USDA, HUD, Ginnie Mae, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. As of March 31, 2024, the most restrictive of these requirements require UWM to maintain a minimum net worth of $668.1 million, liquidity of $305.8 million, and a minimum capital ratio of 6%. At March 31, 2024, UWM was in compliance with these requirements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements 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 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 March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

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.

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.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company has 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 (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 (loss) per share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 11, 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 March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023.
The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands, except shares and per share amounts):

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 dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Under the if-converted method, all of the Company's net income (loss) for the applicable periods is attributable to Class A common shareholders. The net income (loss) 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 using the treasury stock method and the impact was either anti-dilutive or immaterial.

Organization
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 11 - 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 11 - 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 17 - 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 has potential indemnification obligations to 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 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, to the extent that it is determined that the Gores Directors and Officers are entitled to indemnification, the Company is obligated to indemnify them 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. This insurance includes two separate towers of coverage with limits in excess of the Company's current estimate of any reasonably possible liability, and a deductible of $20.5 million.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
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
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
Loans Eligible for Repurchase from Ginnie Mae
For certain loans sold to Ginnie Mae, the Company as the servicer has the unilateral right to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae pool if that loan meets defined criteria (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due). When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase the delinquent loans, 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 And Tax Receivable Agreement
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes during interim periods by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings (loss) before income taxes to compute the year-to-date tax expense (or benefit). At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that arise during the period. See Note 15 – Income Taxes for further information.
Tax Receivable Agreement
The Company has entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") 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 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 taxable income allocation rules in the United States. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these tax savings.
The Company accounts for liabilities arising from the TRA as a loss contingency recorded within "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other." Changes in the liability are measured and recorded when estimated amounts due under the TRA are probable and can be reasonably estimated, and reported as part of "Other expense/(income)" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Related Party Transactions
Related Party Transactions
The Company enters into various transactions with related parties.
Public and Private Warrants
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/(income)").
Stock-Based Compensation
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 68,744,413 shares remained available for issuance under the 2020 Plan as of March 31, 2024. 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-1, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which amends certain provisions of ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842). This guidance requires all lessees in a lease with a lessor under common control to amortize leasehold improvements over the useful life of the common control group and provides new guidance for recognizing a transfer of assets between entities under common control as an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. There was no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard effective the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2024.

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Effective
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-7, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will include the required disclosures in its consolidated financial statements once adopted.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-9, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company will include the required disclosures in its condensed consolidated financial statements once adopted.
