Better Home & Finance Holding Company Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results



  • Reporting first annual financial results as a public company, after closing business combination in August 2023, which unlocked approximately $565 million of capital



  • Maintaining conviction in large addressable market and favorable consumer trends towards digitization and price transparency



  • Continued strategic investments in Better's leading proprietary technology platform, Tinman, to improve mortgage fulfillment efficiency



  • Continued launching innovative products to improve customer experience, including One Day Mortgage, One Day HELOC and digital VA loans



  • Continued execution of cost reduction initiatives



  • Leaning into growth in a more favorable macro environment in 2024, while maintaining cost discipline


NEW YORK, Mar. 28 /BusinessWire/ -- Better Home & Finance Holding Company (NASDAQ:BETR) ("Better" or the "Company"), a New York-based digitally native homeownership company, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

"Through 2023 we navigated a very challenging market environment, and we are now beginning to see green shoots in 2024 and beyond. The addressable opportunity in our market continues to be massive, and we believe the megatrend towards digitization positions us favorably. A critical driver of our planned growth in 2024 is a fundamental change in our commercial operating model, which we tested in the fourth quarter of 2023 and implemented across the company in the first quarter. We have pivoted to hiring experienced Loan Officers on commission-based compensation plans, a significant deviation from our prior model. We are pleased to see early conversion improvements from this operating model pivot and the seasoned sales talent we are hiring, as well as greater alignment between our production volume and costs. Further, the experienced Loan Officers are providing our customers with an increased level of service, which enables us to improve revenue per loan while remaining market competitive." said Vishal Garg, CEO and Founder of Better.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:

GAAP Results:

  • Revenue of $9 million
  • Net loss of $59 million
  • Ended 2023 with $554 million of cash, restricted cash, and short-term investments

Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Results:

  • Funded Loan Volume of $527 million across 1,633 Total Loans
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $26 million

Full Year 2023 Financial Highlights:

GAAP Results:

  • Revenue of $77 million
  • Net loss of $534 million

Key Operating Metrics and Non-GAAP Results:

  • Funded Loan Volume of $3 billion across 8,569 Total Loans
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of $163 million

"Given the additional capital raised in 2023, we are excited to grow and continue strategically investing in our technology and innovative products, such as digital One Day HELOC and One Day Mortgage. Through Better's history, we have proven our ability to scale to over $100 billion of origination volume, reaching almost 2% in refinance market share at our peak in 2021. In 2023, with 91% of volume comprised of purchase loans, we have also demonstrated our digital purchase product resonates with consumers, creating an opportunity for us to further lean into purchase as we pivot to our new operating model. We expect to drive increased volume in 2024 compared to 2023, while seeking to manage expenses to be in-line with 2023. For the first quarter of 2024, we expect to generate Funded Loan Volume of approximately $600-650 million." said Kevin Ryan, President and CFO of Better.

  • Continued to deliberately depress volumes by throttling marketing expenses to reduce losses in 2023
  • D2C business comprised 55% of Funded Loan Volume in 2023, with B2B the remainder
  • Purchase loans comprised 91% of Funded Loan Volume in 2023, refinance comprised 7%, and HELOC the remainder

  • Reduced Total Expenses by 71% year-over-year, with overall $1.1+ billion reduction in annual Total Expenses in 2023 compared to 2021
  • Net loss improved 39% year-over-year in 2023 and 83% quarter-over-quarter in Q4 2023
