Analysis · BETR · Finance
Better Home & Finance delivered preliminary Q3 operating results showing resilience amid a brutal mortgage market. Total Loan Volume of $1.39 billion grew 15% year-over-year while industry volume fell 37%, and Tinman AI platform volume jumped 64% to $790 million — now 57% of total volume versus 40% a year ago. The results landed at the lower end of prior guidance ($1.375B–$1.525B), but the real story is the aggressive cost-cutting push under the new Better 2.0 scorecard: $13.2 million in annualized expense reductions already implemented, with another $51 million targeted over the next four weeks. Preliminary Q3 total net revenues were $45.1 million, below guidance of $49.0 million to $52.0 million, and adjusted EBITDA loss was $24.8 million to $25.8 million, including $8 million proxy-related expenses. Management also signaled the buyback program will begin buying stock this week, framing the shares as undervalued. This comes just one week after Vishal Garg's successful proxy fight to retake control, making this the first operational report card under the new regime.
