Significant Dilution Impacts EPS
Despite increased net income attributable to the company, diluted EPS for 2025 was $0.12, a slight decrease from $0.13 in 2024. This is primarily due to a substantial increase in diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to approximately 1.6 billion in 2025, up from 111.4 million in 2024, as Class D common stock became dilutive under the if-converted method.
-
Two Harbors Merger Update

Analysis · UWMC · Finance
UWM Holdings Corp.'s annual report for 2025 reveals a mixed financial picture. While the company achieved substantial growth in total revenue and loan origination volume, and a notable increase in net income attributable to the company, diluted earnings per share (EPS) decreased slightly due to a massive increase in diluted shares outstanding. This significant dilution stems from the conversion of Class D common stock into Class A common stock, which became dilutive in 2025, and the anticipated issuance of approximately 247 million Class A shares for the pending merger with Two Harbors Investment Corp. Investors should carefully consider the impact of this dilution on per-share value, even as the underlying business demonstrates operational strength and strategic expansion into in-house servicing.
