Third quarter 2022 funded reverse volume was $1,135 million, a decrease from the prior quarter primarily due to a strategic decision to reduce Correspondent aggregation. Despite the volume decline, we saw our seventh consecutive quarter of new-to-reverse growth in our proprietary HomeSafe product.
Third quarter 2022 revenue of $72 million declined 10% from the second quarter 2022 due primarily to the impact of lower volumes during the quarter, partially offset by improved margins.
Pre-tax income of $34 million declined only 6% as $6 million in expense reductions partially offset the decline in revenue.
Year-to-date 2022 volume of $4,190 million represents a 43% increase compared to the same period in 2021, which was driven by strong growth in both refinance and new-to-reverse volumes period over period.

Third quarter 2022 revenue was $44 million, down 24% compared to the prior quarter as the segment faced continued pressure from rising interest rates and declining refinance volumes.

Third quarter 2022 mortgage servicing rights were down 71% to $103 million compared to the prior quarter due to strategic sales of MSR during the quarter. We continue to monitor our MSR balances to take advantage of opportunities that the market presents.
Revenue in the third quarter 2022 was negative due to fair value adjustments on long-term assets and liabilities as we updated model assumptions to account for higher credit spreads and increased interest rates. The residual value of assets subject to nonrecourse debt within the securitization trusts as of September 30, 2022 was $61 million, down from $390 million as of December 31, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts or statements of current conditions, but instead represent only management’s beliefs regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company’s control. It is possible that our actual results, financial condition and liquidity may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results, financial condition and liquidity in these forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates, and projections and, consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” and similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which are current only as of the date of this release. Results for any specified quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that maybe expected for the full year or any future period. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as required by law. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning the Company or other matters and attributable to the
12    


Company or any person acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. A number of important factors exist that could cause future results to differ materially from historical performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: the possibility that the Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors in our business markets and worldwide financial markets; our ability to obtain sufficient capital and liquidity to meet the financing and operational requirements of our business; our ability to comply with our debt agreements and pay down our substantial debt; our Resource Optimization Plan and its expected benefits, anticipated cost savings, financial and accounting impact, and timing; our ability to manage disruptions in the secondary home loan market, including the mortgage-backed securities market; our ability to finance and recover costs of our reverse servicing operations; our ability to manage changes in our licensing status, business relationships, or servicing guidelines with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae or other governmental entities; economic, finance and public health disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and its unique challenges to our business, which could adversely impact our ability to originate and service mortgages, manage our portfolio of assets and provide lender services, and could also adversely impact our counterparties, liquidity and employees; our ability to respond to significant changes in prevailing interest rates; our geographic market concentration if the economic conditions in our current markets should decline or as a result of natural disasters; our use of estimates in measuring or determining the fair value of the majority of our assets and liabilities, which may require us to write down the value of these assets or write up the value of these liabilities if they prove to be incorrect; the engagement of our Lender Services business by our loan originator businesses may give appearance of a conflict of interest; third party customers of our Lender Services businesses and concerns regarding conflicts of interest within our Lender Services Businesses, due to their affiliation with the Company; our Lender Services business has operations in the Philippines that could be adversely affected by changes in political or economic stability or by government policies; our ability to operate in heavily regulated industries, including our mortgage loan origination and servicing activities (including lender services), which expose us to risks of noncompliance with an increasing and inconsistent body of complex laws and regulations at the U.S. federal, state and local levels; our ability to manage various legal proceedings, federal or state governmental examinations and enforcement investigations we are subject to from time to time, which may be highly complex and slow to develop, and results are difficult to predict or estimate; our ability to prevent cyber intrusions and mitigate cyber risks; our ability to compete with national banks, which are not subject to state licensing and operational requirements; our holding company status and dependency on distributions from Finance of America Equity Capital LLC; and our “controlled company” status under New York Stock Exchange rules, which exempts us from certain corporate governance requirements and affords stockholders fewer protections; our substantial number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of Finance of America Equity Capital LLC Units, which may dilute your investment, and the sale of which could cause significant downward pricing pressure on our stock; our brief common stock trading history has been characterized by low trading volume, which may result in an inability to sell your shares at a desired price, if at all.

All of these factors are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors or to assess the effect of each such new factor on our business. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and any of these statements included herein may prove to be inaccurate. Given the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements, or our objectives and plans will be achieved. Please refer to Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2022, for further information on these and other risk factors affecting us, as such factors may be amended and updated from time to time in the Company’s subsequent periodic filings with the SEC, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s management evaluates performance of the Company through the use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share.
We define Adjusted Net Income as net income adjusted for change in fair value of loans and securities held for investment due to assumption changes, change in fair value of deferred purchase price obligations (including earnouts and TRA obligations), warrant liability, and minority investments, amortization and other impairments, equity based compensation, and certain non-recurring costs.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted Net Income (defined above) adjusted for taxes, interest on non-funding debt and depreciation.
We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share as Adjusted Net Income (defined above) divided by our weighted average diluted share count, which includes our issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock shares plus Finance of America Equity Capital LLC’s Class A LLC units owned by our noncontrolling interests on an if-converted basis.
The presentation of non-GAAP measures is used to enhance investors’ understanding of certain aspects of our financial performance. This discussion is not meant to be considered in isolation, superior to, or as a substitute for the directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Management believes these key financial measures provide an additional view of our performance over the long-term and provide useful information that we use in order to maintain and grow our business.
These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternate to (i) net income (loss) or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flows determine in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these metrics are: (i) cash expenditures for future contractual commitments; (ii) cash requirements for working capital needs; (iii) cash requirements for certain tax payments; and (iv) all non-cash income/expense items.
Because of these limitations, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business or distribute to stockholders. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using our non-GAAP financial measures only as a supplement. Users of our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our non-GAAP financial measures.
