Q3 Adjusted EBITDA Loss Blows Past Guidance Despite 15% Loan Volume Growth
BETR sits 33% above its 52-week low of $7.513.
Summary
Q3 loan volume rose 15% to $1.395B, with Tinman AI originations at $790M, up 64% and roughly 57% of total volume. But the adjusted EBITDA loss came in at $24.8-25.8M, well wider than the prior $15-18M guidance, and the net loss was about $33.1-34.1M on $45.1M of net revenue. About $8M of the shortfall is proxy-related costs tied to the Garg consent fight that ended with five directors removed in the October 6 8-K. Management still targets adjusted EBITDA breakeven by year-end, is pursuing a Birmingham Bank sale, and says it may hold more than $140M in cash and securities before that close. The company also named former X CEO Linda Yaccarino as an independent director effective October 15 and will publish weekly scorecards until breakeven.
At the time of this announcement, BETR was trading at $9.97 on NASDAQ in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $189.2M. The 52-week trading range was $7.51 to $92.69.
