        million, or $0.08 loss per diluted share. Generated total adjusted

        increase compared to the same period of the prior year.

        $1.4 billion of cash on the balance sheet, $1.5 billion of corporate

        of credit, and $2.0 billion of undrawn MSR lines of credit.

Company Highlights

    --  Our home equity loan offering hit another record quarter, as homeowners
        looked to access their equity without affecting their first-lien
        mortgage rate. Home equity loans offer an efficient way to leverage
        record- high home equity for significant life events like debt
        consolidation, home improvements, or family-related expenses.
    --  In March, Rocket Pro launched three API integrations across five
        external partners, allowing brokers to streamline the loan process from
        quote to close. A redesigned Loan Dashboard also went live, giving
        brokers faster, more self-service functionality.
    --  In April, Rocket Pro completed integration with ARIVE--a loan
        origination platform used by more than 20,000 mortgage brokers and
        facilitating roughly a quarter of broker volume nationwide. Mortgage
        brokers have responded with enthusiasm - within days, the integration
        drove over 9,000 pricing calls, including engagement from more than 300
        brokers connecting with Rocket Pro for the first time.
    --  In February, we launched Rocket Mortgage RentRewards, our
        first-to-market program, offering eligible renters a promotional credit
        of 10% of their annual rent, up to $5,000, to support their path to
        homeownership. In March, RentRewards was featured in a marketing
        campaign leveraging our Own the Dream core creative idea, originally
        introduced during the Super Bowl. The campaign drove significant
        engagement, generating over 1 million visits to the RentRewards landing
        page.
    --  In February, Rocket Mortgage announced the 1-0 Rate Break Buy Down, a
        mortgage product offering homebuyers temporary relief by reducing their
        mortgage interest rate by 1% in the first year. This innovative approach
        helps borrowers ease into their mortgage payments while maintaining
        long-term financial stability with a predictable rate structure.
    --  In March, Rocket Mortgage launched an agentic AI tool within Rocket
        Logic. The latest use case applies this technology to determine the
        responsible party for paying the transfer tax fee--a historically
        complex and error-prone manual process. Since implementation, the
        solution has reduced estimated remediation costs related to transfer tax
        errors by 50%, with projected savings exceeding $1 million in 2025.
    --  On March 10, the Company announced a simplification of its capital and
        organizational structure through the collapse of its "Up-C" structure,
        providing that each class of common stock will be entitled to one vote
        per share, and reducing its classes of common stock from four to two
        (the "Up-C Collapse"). In connection with the Up-C Collapse, the Rocket
        Companies' board of directors authorized and declared a special cash
        dividend of $0.80 per share for holders of Class A common stock. The
        dividend was paid on April 3, 2025, to shareholders of record as of
        March 20, 2025.
    --  On March 10, the Company announced an all-stock acquisition of Redfin
        Corporation for $1.75 billion in equity value. Under the agreement, each
        Redfin share will be exchanged for 0.7926 shares of Rocket Companies
        Class A common stock. Founded in 2004, Redfin is one of the most
        recognized real estate brands in the U.S., drawing 50 million monthly
        active visitors, featuring over 1 million for-sale and rental listings,
        and is supported by a tech-enabled brokerage of more than 2,200 agents.
        The transaction is expected to close in the second or third quarter of
        2025.
    --  On March 31, the Company announced an all-stock acquisition of Mr.
        Cooper Group Inc. for $9.4 billion in equity value. Under the agreement,
        each Mr. Cooper share will be exchanged for 11.0 shares of Rocket
        Companies Class A common stock. Founded in 1994, Mr. Cooper is an
        industry leader with 6.5 million servicing clients, a $1.5 trillion
        servicing portfolio, and 16 petabytes of data. The transaction is
        expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025.
    --  In April, Rocket Mortgage extended its existing $1.15 billion revolving
        credit facility. Driven by strong demand and a positive outlook of the
        pending acquisition of Mr. Cooper, the facility will be upsized to $2.25
        billion following the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions,
        including the closing of the Mr. Cooper acquisition.

Rocket Corporate Responsibility: For-More-Than-Profit

    --  In January, the Rocket Community Fund, a partner company, launched a new
        digital inclusion initiative with Tech Goes Home, a Massachusetts-based
        nonprofit. The program provides Detroit residents with essential
        technology training, internet access, and devices--broadening equitable
        digital access and strengthening pathways to education, employment, and
        financial empowerment.

Second Quarter 2025 Outlook(2)

In Q2 2025, we expect adjusted revenue between $1.175 billion to $1.325 billion.

Direct to Consumer

In the Direct to Consumer segment, clients have the ability to interact with Rocket Mortgage digitally and/or with the Company's mortgage bankers. The Company markets to potential clients in this segment through various brand campaigns and performance marketing channels. The Direct to Consumer segment derives revenue from originating, closing, selling and servicing predominantly agency-conforming loans, which are pooled and sold to the secondary market. The segment also includes title and settlement services and appraisal management, complementing the Company's end-to-end mortgage origination experience. Servicing activities are fully allocated to the Direct to Consumer segment and are viewed as an extension of the client experience. Servicing enables Rocket Mortgage to establish and maintain long term relationships with our clients, through multiple touchpoints at regular engagement intervals.

The Rocket Professional platform supports our Partner Network segment, where we leverage our superior client service and widely recognized brand to grow marketing and influencer relationships and our mortgage broker partnerships through Rocket Pro. Our marketing partnerships consist of well-known consumer-focused companies that find value in our award-winning client experience and want to offer their clients mortgage solutions with our trusted, widely recognized brand. These organizations connect their clients directly to us through marketing channels and a referral process. Our influencer partnerships are typically with companies that employ licensed mortgage professionals that find value in our client experience, technology and efficient mortgage process, where mortgages may not be their primary offering. We also enable clients to start the mortgage process through the Rocket platform in the way that works best for them, including through a local mortgage broker.

     (3) We measure the performance of the Direct to Consumer and Partner Network segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Contribution margin is intended to measure the direct profitability of each segment and is calculated as Adjusted revenue less directly attributable expenses. Directly attributable expenses include salaries, commissions and team member benefits, general and administrative expenses, marketing and advertising expenses and other expenses, such as mortgage servicing related
      expenses and expenses generated from Rocket Close (title and settlement services). A loan is considered "sold" when it is sold to investors on the secondary market. See "Summary Segment Results" section below and "Segments" footnote in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's forthcoming filing on Form 10-Q for more information.

     (1) We measure the performance of the segments primarily on a contribution margin basis. Contribution margin is intended to measure the direct profitability of each segment and is calculated as Adjusted
            revenue less directly attributable expenses. Adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure described below. Directly attributable expenses include salaries, commissions and team member benefits,
            general and administrative expenses, marketing and advertising expenses and other expenses, such as mortgage servicing related expenses and expenses generated from Rocket Close (title and settlement
            services).

To provide investors with information in addition to our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose Adjusted revenue, Adjusted net income, Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted EBITDA (collectively "our non- GAAP financial measures") as non-GAAP measures which management believes provide useful information to investors. We believe that the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations because each measure assists both investors and management in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for revenue, net income (loss), or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may define our non-GAAP financial measures differently, and as a result, our measures of our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures provide indicators of performance that are not affected by fluctuations in certain costs or other items.

Accordingly, management believes that these measurements are useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period, and management relies on these measures for planning and forecasting of future periods. Additionally, these measures allow management to compare our results with those of other companies that have different financing and capital structures.

We define "Adjusted revenue" as total revenues net of the change in fair value of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges). We define "Adjusted net income" as tax-effected net income (loss) before share-based compensation expense, the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), acquisition-related expenses and the tax effects of those adjustments as applicable. We define "Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share" as Adjusted net income divided by the adjusted diluted weighted average shares outstanding which includes diluted weighted average Class A common stock and the assumed pro forma exchange and conversion of Class D common stock outstanding for the applicable period presented. We define "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) before interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt, (benefit from) provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation expense, change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges) and acquisition-related expenses.

We exclude from each of our non-GAAP financial measures the change in fair value of MSRs due to valuation assumptions (net of hedges), as this represents a non-cash non-realized adjustment to our total revenues, reflecting changes in market interest rates and assumptions, including discount rates and prepayment speeds, which are not indicative of our performance or results of operation. We also exclude effects of contractual prepayment protection associated with sales of MSRs. Adjusted EBITDA includes Interest expense on funding facilities, which are recorded as a component of Interest income, net, as these expenses are a direct cost driven by loan origination volume. By contrast, interest and amortization expense on non-funding debt is a function of our capital structure and is therefore excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

Our definitions of each of our non-GAAP financial measures allow us to add back certain cash and non-cash charges, and deduct certain gains that are included in calculating Total revenue, net, Net (loss) income attributable to Rocket Companies or Net (loss) income. However, these expenses and gains vary greatly, and are difficult to predict. From time to time in the future, we may include or exclude other items if we believe that doing so is consistent with the goal of providing useful information to investors.

Although we use our non-GAAP financial measures to assess the performance of our business, such use is limited because they do not include certain material costs necessary to operate our business. Our non-GAAP financial measures can represent the effect of long-term strategies as opposed to short-term results. Our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Because of these limitations, our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.

For financial outlook information, the Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of adjusted revenue to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the GAAP measure cannot be reliably estimated and the reconciliation cannot be performed without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties and adjusting items that the Company cannot reasonably predict at this time but which may be material.
