Thank you and good afternoon, everyone before we get started I'd like to congratulate Mike Smith on his promotion to Chief financial Officer of Doma.
You know might have been serving as John was Chief accounting Officer, and acting Chief Financial Officer. Since mid May of this year I'm very excited to welcome Mike to the Jamba leadership team and I look forward to continuing to work with him to deliver an incident and frictionless home closing experience for buyers and sellers.
Turning now to our business, we now have a full year as a public company under our belt I am proud of how we've adapted to manage our business through a set of macroeconomic and housing industry headwinds in the first half of 2022 that are unlike anything in the last 20 to 30 years.
In rare times like these it's important to separate the cyclical from the structural challenges. We are facing today are cyclical, but the investments we have made and the progress we have seen towards making the home buying process better faster and more affordable are structural and sustainable and we are just at the beginning stages of producing meaningful growth and returns for many years.
Or is to come.
And today as we operate the business in a very different market than the one we went public in one year ago. We have quickly adapted our plans and our investment prioritization to ensure that we remain on track to get the business to positive adjusted EBITDA by the end of 2023.
Now I'd like to do with my opening remarks, each quarter today I will focus on the following three main themes first we delivered resilient top line results in the second quarter against the mortgage market, but continues to be challenged by extremely difficult conditions for homebuyers, namely rising inflation and interest rates higher home prices and unprecedented low housing inventory.
Second getting to adjusted EBIT profitability has become our top priority. We believe that the current market environment is likely to persist for some time and that the company could come out of this economic cycle in a financially sound position will be those that can serve customers through and beyond this challenging time with the same quality and consistency established during brighter days in the market.
Third and final theme, we continue to make steady progress in growing our footprint in the purchase market. This entails both getting our newly formed customer acquisition engine up to full productivity and rolling out our domain intelligence technology to our local channel <unk>.
Our plan as we have previously communicated is to migrate substantially all of our purchase volume onto our dominant intelligence technology by the end of next year and we remain highly confident that we are on track with that timeline.
I'll now dive into these three themes in more detail and after that I will turn the call over to Mike to cover our second quarter financial results.
Let's begin by walking through.
Our business performance in the second quarter.
Our second quarter performance was in line with our expectations and while the continued developing headwinds in the mortgage market may put our 2020 to forecasted performance for retained premiums and fees at risk, we will be able to better assess that after the third quarter. We believe that our more intense focus on getting the profitability will help ensure that we still meet our adjusted EBIT targets for this year.
But given the risk to our retained premiums and fees and related impact to adjusted EBITDA. We are now guiding to the lower end of our range of adjusted EBITDA for our full year 2022 guidance.
Now on the specifics of this quarter.
In the quarter to greater significantly when compared to the prior year last year was an abnormal year for the housing market and given the significant shift in the market. This year. We believe it is more important and insightful to understand quarter over quarter trends versus year over year trends. So we will be focusing our remarks on a comparison to prior quarter.
In the second quarter, we delivered $49 million of retained premiums and fees.
24% versus prior year, and down 5% versus last quarter, our year over year decline and retain premiums and fees or Rps was driven by a 48% decline in refinance closed orders and a 32% decline in purchase closed orders.
Quarter over quarter decline in Rps was driven by lower refinance closed orders, which fell by 47% quarter over quarter as the mortgage market, we adjusts to a higher interest rate environment.
Our purchase closed orders grew 16% sequentially versus Q1 as the second quarter is typically the peak selling season.
While our purchase volume increase quarter over quarter the rate of increase was impacted by the performance of the overall purchase market, which had a slow start in the first quarter and continued to struggle in the second quarter with weekly purchase mortgage applications as measured by the MBA Weekly application survey declining 14% on a seasonally adjusted basis from Q1 Q2.
Also affecting our closed orders were lower corporate rates, meaning fewer open orders are converting to close orders versus typical historical trends.
Behavior has been observed now across the broader purchase market with redfin data showing that in June purchase transaction cancellations reached 15% the highest level of purchase cancellations industrywide since April of 2020.
It is likely that this lower pull through rate industrywide is being driven by a combination of rapidly rising interest rate.
Essentially more consumers are backing out of home purchases as mortgage rates continue to climb as well as home sellers, losing negotiating leverage and not yet being able to be flexible to increase in buyer demands to get deals closed.
During our previous earnings call in May we communicated our belief that this downturn was likely just the beginning of something far more significant we formed our own internal outlook at how the mortgage market would perform for the remainder of the year, which different from industry forecast, but reflected the reality of what we were observing on the ground and the year is playing out as we expected.
Our outlook was also the primary basis used for revising our 2022 guidance on our last call and as I mentioned earlier, we are reaffirming our 2022 full year adjusted EBIT guidance today at the low end of the range, while noting that there may be some risks to our topline.
Shifting now to market share against our internal outlook of how the market performed this quarter. We continued to gain share in our enterprise channel, which comprises the majority of our refinance volumes as we had a net gain in wallet share across our enterprise accounts and we also onboarding several new partners in the quarter in terms of purchase our market share was essentially flat versus last quarter.
But should grow in the back half of the year as our investments in customer acquisition reach higher productivity and more of the purchase transactions start benefiting from our government intelligence technology.
I'll now turn to my second theme for today, we are confident that we have taken definitive actions to remain on our path to adjusted EBIT profitability in 2023.
In May we took several actions aimed at preserving our cash position and accelerating our path to profitability. These actions included both re prioritizing the deployment of our capital towards home purchase focused strategic initiatives and a reduction in force that primarily impacted our fulfillment organization.
Since may we have continued to observe that the deterioration of the housing and mortgage market and.
And we expect it to contract even further over the next 12 months to 24 months to adjust for this reality last week, we took additional actions to even further realign our cost structure with our commitment of getting to positive adjusted EBITDA by the end of 2023, if not earlier and reaching positive cash flow generation by the end of 2023. These.
Options, including a significant downsizing of our corporate support functions and a more streamlined management structure, which we expect will result in charge of $3 million in the third quarter and will generate annualized cost savings of $40 million.
Annualized savings are in addition to the expected $30 million of annualized savings from our May reduction in force. We believe that these aggregate expense actions position us well to manage through the current cycle, while preserving our differentiated business model. So that we can continue pursuing our longer term strategy and.
And as we continue to navigate a very dynamic market environment that has the potential to continue deteriorating in the near term. We are committed to take additional actions as needed in order to remain on our stock stated timeline to profitability.
While there are many companies in the mortgage technology space that went public over the last 12 months to 24 months, we think that what sets us apart is that the fundamentals and the positive unit economics of our business have already been tested and that we have defined a path to near term profitability.
In the past three to six months, we have significantly shifted the balance of our investments toward those that will get us to near term profitability, while still remaining able to drive meaningful investments in R&D and customer acquisition to deliver on a much larger longer term market opportunity.
The majority of the investments we set out to make 12 to 18 months ago. As we were preparing to take the company public where indeed made and are now starting to bear fruit for us as the broader housing market is starting to experience headwinds earlier, this year and which intensified in the second quarter, we were swift and reducing our cost structure to align with a lower mortgage volume environment.
We have been deliberate and disciplined with our actions and investments as we build towards our vision of driving change through technology. While also ensuring that we have ample capital to manage through the ups and downs of the cyclical mortgage market.
We will be looking at all investments in the business for the foreseeable future through the lens of how they will either accelerate or de risk our path to profitability and do so while enabling us to manage the business with a comfortable cash position in a challenging market.
This takes me to my third and final theme our progress in growing our footprint in the purchase market, where we already do meaningful volume today, and which is key to reaching adjusted EBITDA profitability. As a reminder, purchase transactions are more profitable business and we have been generating purchase orders for quite some time now while the deployment of our domain.
<unk> technology was initially focused on our enterprise refinance business, we have always generated meaningful purchase volume in fact as of Q2 purchase orders made up 38% of our direct residential order volume and 66% of our direct retained premiums and fees.
During our first quarter earnings call, we announced our plans to refocus our resources and capital to a discrete set of strategic initiatives that we think will accelerate our growth in the purchase market, thereby accelerating our overall path to profitability as a company.
While it has only been a few months since you made those changes we have already started to see early progress and we remain confident that we are focusing our efforts on the right areas.
And our local business, where today, we source the majority of our purchase orders. We have continued to add new features and functionality to the Doma intelligence platform for purchase while working with our escrow and fulfillment teams across the initial rollout locations to ensure that we are seeing the expected increase in the quality and efficiency prior to accelerating our rollout to other.
Markets.
We've also found that the close involvement of our local escrow teams and how the product gets implemented and institutionalized has become an essential component of our rollout strategy in the back half of this year, we expect to continue methodically, adding new markets and our local channel to the rollout of Belmont intelligence for purchase.
Separately in Q2, we also identified several potential enterprise partners, who are now working with US on a version of Doma intelligence for purchase that can be offered directly to their customers as part of their purchase workflow.
We will be moving towards rolling out an initial version of this product with a small group of these enterprise partners. Later this year and believe this initiative may unlock on additional new distribution channel for Delta for purchase.
Across both of these efforts we remain confident that we will significantly grow our higher margin purchase volumes and that we will have the majority of our purchase transactions on the Doma intelligence platform by the end of 2023.
I'd now like to turn the call over to Mike Smith, who will take you through the details of our financial performance this quarter.
Thank you Max and good afternoon, everyone. Let me start by providing a high level summary of our second quarter financial performance and then I will dive into the details.
As Max mentioned, our financial results performed in line with our expectations.
Second while our second quarter top line results reflected performance similar to the first quarter of this year, we delivered a modest improvement in adjusted gross profit margin the.
A trend that we expect will continue in the back half of this year.
As Matt highlighted in May we've made significant reductions to our cost structure. Although these contributed to improved adjusted gross profit margins in Q2, most of the benefits from these reductions will be realized in the third quarter and going forward.
It also follows the expense actions, we took just last week, we will similarly drive meaningful adjusted gross profit and adjusted EBITDA margin improvement in the fourth quarter of this year.
Now turning to the details and focusing on our sequential quarter over quarter performance in the second quarter, we reported GAAP revenue of $124 million up 10% from last quarter.
GAAP revenue includes the portion of third party agent premiums. The Doma does not retain so we focus on retained premiums and fees or RPF, which excludes these retained premiums RP.
<unk> this quarter was $49 million down 5% from last quarter.
As Max mentioned our quarter over decline in Rps.
It was driven by lower refinance closed orders.
Refinance volume continues to be impacted by the rapid rise in mortgage rates, which averaged 527% in Q2 versus $3 eight 2% in Q1 of this year, reaching a peak of 6% to 8% in mid June .
While rates have come down some since its peak in June we expect this negative pressure from elevated mortgage rates on our refinance volumes to persist for the remainder of the year.
On the brighter side, our purchase closed orders grew 16% quarter over quarter and we expect these orders to continue to meaningfully grow over the next few quarters and offset the impact from refinances driving increased RPF in Q3 and Q4.
Moving to adjusted gross profit, which is our primary measure of unit economics, we delivered $11 million of adjusted gross profit this quarter of 5% from last quarter.
Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of RPF was 22% this quarter up two points from last quarter.
Our quarter over quarter improvement in adjusted gross profit was again driven by the actions. We took in may to reduce our fulfillment expenses to better align with lower refinance volumes as well as the mix shift towards purchase transactions.
Similarly, our adjusted EBITDA, our main profitability measure was 2 million better than last quarter.
Negative $43 million this quarter versus negative $45 million last quarter also due to these lower direct fulfillment expenses.
As I highlighted previously in the back half of the year, we will see the full benefit of the expense actions. We have taken this year, including those that we took late last week, which will meaningfully increase our adjusted gross profit contribution and our adjusted EBITDA on a go forward basis.
I would like to conclude my remarks by emphasizing that we are being strategically selective with our investments and are prudently managing our expenses, including prioritizing cash preservation over growth.
While we cannot perfectly predict how the mortgage market will unfold in the back half of this year. We believe that we have taken meaningful actions to protect our bottom line results and as such we are reaffirming our full year 2022, adjusted EBITA guidance, but guiding to the low end of the range.
Additionally, we will continue to appropriately manage expenses to ensure that we remain on a near term path to profitability, which we are still confident we can achieve in 2023.
I'll now pass the call back to Max for closing remarks, before we open the call to questions.
Thanks, Mike and closing and to keep things in perspective in the face of cyclical challenges within the mortgage and housing market. We will be one of the companies that quickly adapted to evolving market conditions, while still remaining focused on our longer term strategies, enabling us to emerge as a true market leader, which is why we remain intensely focused on executing our vision.
To make the experience of buying selling or owning a home better faster and more affordable and doing so as a profitable public company, which we expect will become more obvious to the market early next year.
We look forward to updating everyone as our progress towards these objectives is completed on future public calls.
Operator, we're ready for questions.
Thank you.
As a reminder to ask a question you will need to press star one one on your telephone. Please standby we compile the Q&A roster and we ask that you limit yourself to one question and one follow up again, we ask that you limit yourself to one question and one follow up one moment for questions.
And our first question comes from Matt <unk> from JMP Securities. Your line is now open.
Hey, Thanks, good afternoon.
Hey, Matt Matt.
Max you commented a little bit about how you guys have spent a lot of time developing kind of your own view.
The macro environment the housing environment.
And how you've been kind of let's say a little more spot on as things.
Unfolded in the last couple of quarters can you tie together kind of how your guidance ties into that so kind of how might your view going from here forward I'm focused on 'twenty three guidance of EBIT.
EBITDA positivity by year end.
Your view of the world differ from something a little more public like MBA forecast or something like that and then kind of how much flexibility is built into your guidance in a sense of whether we're off one way or the other.
How resilient can that guidance be too.
Those events given the environment.
Yeah, Great question. So let me, let me try and take that question in two parts I might ask Mike to comment a bit on just how we're managing for the expense side of the equation dynamically.
Without.
Specifically disclosing our internal forecast I can say that it was.
Certainly more conservative than.
What was being projected by the mortgage bankers Association and.
Honestly, what we have seen Matt is that like is there any specific just to them. It's kind of every industry wide forecast on purchase mortgage origination.
Whether that's number of units closed or where the 30 year fix is going to end up just really haven't been able to keep pace with almost day to day swings and numbers that we've been seeing right. So I mean, if you if you look at the MBA forecast in particular.
Yes, I think in April .
They were forecasting second quarter rates at four 7% they revised it up to five 2% and there May report, but then they revised it down to $5 one in June .
And during the same time rates were just increasing dramatically, which even got the rates above 6% in the last months of the quarter.
Similarly, there are reports also showed minimal to no change in purchase loan counts over the same time period.
So we had a more conservative forecast.
And the year is playing out as we expected I think on the part of your question, where you asked how resilient.
Is are our business to the forecast that we put together internally.
And this is where I'll ask maybe Mike to chime in a little bit on that.
We're just really really focused on managing to profitability against any backdrop.
We think that we have made significant expense reduction actions already in the first half of this year.
And we're prepared to continue pulling on expense levers, if we need to to make sure that we meet that timeframe.
We have a business with positive unit economics and in a very large market, where we still have relatively small share.
We are quite confident we can dynamically manage the business to get there Mike I don't know if you want to talk about what other flexibility. We have there yes. The only I guess the only addition, I would add to that is that if you add up the two actions that we took in may and August of this year, the total annualized savings or roughly $70 million, you'll see that benefit in the latter part of this year.
In addition, you also see some benefit as we as we pivot to purchase and that those better unit economics coming through because as you know a purchase transaction is roughly three times more profitable than as the refi transaction, you'll see that line us up here in the third and fourth quarter and then on paths for the next year.
Great very helpful. Thank you and then if I could just follow up with a little bit of a shorter term question not so much thinking about the quarters, but just thinking about what it might imply for the picture ahead.
<unk> way through the quarter in Q3, and Max you mentioned and you're exactly right that it seems like things can change day to day is there anything you've observed kind of through six weeks of the quarter that good bad or otherwise you think are worth note as it regards to business.
Look I, just think I would I would.
You kind of reiterate that the market is so dynamic right now from day to day.
There's really nothing I would say in either direction I mean again.
To kind of put it all in perspective, the 30 year fixed like.
Like a multiyear high I think mid June was just north of 6%.
Last week I think ticked.
Ticked down below 5% again right so.
I think everyone homebuyers home sellers mortgage lenders real estate agents.
Are all just trying to trying to figure out where things stabilize in <unk>.
Go either direction. So it's just too soon to tell.
Okay Fair enough. Thank you for the color I appreciate it.
Thank you.
One moment for our next question.
And our next question comes from Thomas Wei from D. A Davidson your line is now open.
Great. Thank you good afternoon guys.
I hopped on the call a little bit late so apologize if you covered this in the prepared remarks, but yes.
I saw on the press release.
You've kind of committed to having the majority of your purchase transactions on an.
Dome intelligence by the end of next year I guess.
Any like early data for kind of maybe cohort analysis, you could share about the about the branches are the markets, where it got rolled out earliest.
Whether youre seeing any kind of change in the market share in that area or maybe.
Change in the trajectory of closed orders.
That would that would signify that the technology is really resonating.
<unk> getting attention.
And then just a follow up on the on the enterprise referral opportunity just curious if theres anything kind of special you guys need to do to kind of attack that is there.
Technology that needs to be kind.
Kind of developed or kind of a new go to market motion.
And maybe talk about how big maybe that could get us a kind of percentage of your overall business over the next few years.
Sure.
Great to hear your voice so on the first question related to progress and the rollout of Doma intelligence for our local purchase transactions.
Can't actually share some qualitative progress here and then talk a little bit about when we'll have more granular data to look at.
If you just recall as a backdrop.
You mentioned that we plan on having the majority of our local purchase volume going through the dome intelligence platform by the end of next year.
We are still on track for that were pretty much exactly where we expect it to be.
Im very happy about because we are seeing some progress here.
We focused our initial rollout of the platform to a couple of locations in California.
We deliberately tried to ring fences.
A limited scope, where we could get really strong iterative feedback from our partners and our escrow officers, who are critically important to the success of the rollout of the technology.
And I think we did a really awesome job working as a team to <unk>.
Get that initial rollout done and we started seeing some strong positive progress anecdotally from the first transactions that we're closing.
In California, and because of that success, we've now expanded into two more states, Arizona and Florida.
And we plan on expanding in two additional states by year end.
To go a little bit further into just some of the qualitative feedback that we're getting from our.
Initial S crops are partners, who are on the front lines of utilizing this technology to help US close these transactions more efficiently and with higher quality we have.
One, California crops are involved this initial rollout describing her experience recently as being a game changer and telling us that.
This technology had existed for her to jewelry job several years ago. She would have been a lot less stressed and would have had a lot more control over our work schedule not to mention being a lot more productive.
So directionally, we're we're right on track and getting transactions on our platform and expanding our geographic scope.
In terms of when we will be able to point to.
I'd call it numbers at scale for unit economic and efficiency benefits just based on the timing of when transactions close and some of the progress in rolling This out I would anticipate.
Being able to speak to that in the <unk>.
First quarter or two of 2023.
On your question on I think your other question was on enterprise purchase which is finding a way to.
Yes.
Better capitalize on our strong enterprise referral relationships that have obviously driven a lot of growth in refinance for us.
Finding ways of.
Partnering with those providers to get purchase transactions.
Did mentioned in the prepared remarks that over the last quarter, we've made progress with a couple of our largest enterprise partners.
And identifying potential ways of having them refer purchase business to us.
The primary obstacle there in the past has been that purchase orders typically get referred to you by the real estate agent who.
<unk> is an incredibly important partner of ours and our local channel.
But we're seeing that.
Because of the way the technology has evolved and frankly, our strong foothold in a lot of these large enterprise partners that we signed up over the last couple of years, there may be an opportunity to have our solution distributed through them for purchase transactions, where they influenced more and more of the placement of the solution and.
So we're embarking with a few of those.
On framing out how this would work and we're really really excited and encouraged by their willingness to lock arms with us and see if we can introduce a new product here and so that's in progress as we speak.
Okay.
Got it thanks for the color appreciate it.
Thank you.
And again, if you'd like to ask a question that is star one one again, if you would like to ask a question that is star one one and one moment for questions.
One moment.
And our next question comes from Jason <unk> from Oppenheimer. Your line is now open.
Hi, it's <unk> on for Jason.
One quick question.
Can you run through some of the cost and margin benefits per transaction as you bring purchase transactions onto the Domo intelligence platform.
Sure Hey, Ron I am happy to that at a high level.
Which is just generally speaking so there's a couple of things to keep in mind, one is as Mike mentioned.
Earlier.
Typical purchase transaction just out of the gate is already about three X. The topline gross revenue dollars of a refinance transaction.
So.
Youre already starting with a much larger number.
Number in terms of revenue and then in terms of the actual cost of fulfilling these transactions a lot of the process work that's involved in doing a purchase transaction for me in terms of title and escrow.
It's the same set of steps that you would do on a refinance transaction so.
Having to underwrite the title insurance for example, where I would also mentioned we did earlier this year rollout instant underwriting for purchase transactions.
So have any underwrite the title insurance there is certainly room for significant improvements in the economics, there and as there are a number of the escrow processes.
We've developed and validated technology for them to refinance offering which we've now also apply to purchase so things like getting mortgage payoffs checking final amounts on the settlement statements.
Reading emails a lot of E mail traffic that still goes back and forth on these transactions in just this last quarter we.
Released some new features and functionality for what we call Doma communications, which automatically reads E mail traffic and routed to the right place.
So you can think of it as a lot of the same steps as a refinance transaction, where again, we've already successfully deployed our technology and feed and improved unit economics.
There is a bit more effort involved in a number of those steps because you have a couple more parties involved in the transaction you've got a real estate agent, both a buyer and seller versus a refinance transaction, where you just have a borrower and the lender.
So somatic Lee speaking its really just applying.
Similar configuration of our technology to a lot of the same steps.
In a transaction that carried higher revenue.
And as you see us do that while also working hand in hand, with our escrow ops or partners, who really are kind of the unsung heroes of these transactions there.
Making sure that that really complex issues get solved in their quarterbacking the transaction from start to finish getting them to fully take advantage of our technology and centralized service offering to take work off their plates.
Is it really where youre going to see most of the lift and the unit economics over time.
I think that probably answers your question generally but.
Sure.
I don't think we've gotten into specifics on unit economic comparisons recently.
Okay. That's helpful and I guess just like following up on the enterprise question from earlier.
Given a tough housing market like how is the decline in demand kind of changed your conversation with current and potential large enterprise customers.
Yes, so on the refi side.
And a lot of conversations actually oddly made it.
It's made our offering even more attractive if you remember in addition to us being a lot more efficient and enabling our lender partners to close.
Much more quickly we also that offering is done at our industry, beating low price point.
Certainly their end customers are a lot more sensitive to cost and a higher rate environment.
And they're getting a lot more competitive with one another every dollar counts for where they can take points off of the loan and trying to win a customer over.
So I think we've been positively.
<unk> bye.
Just again, adding a number of new enterprise lenders in the last quarter.
Who are bringing refi transactions to us at a time when you think that refi wasn't their focus and that includes for example.
One of the top 20 largest mortgage originators in the country signing on as a new customer in the last in the last quarter.
We've also seen that a lot of these lenders.
And what I would call lender alternatives are offering either HELOC or home equity like home equity alternative products.
Rising rates typically signal an increase in HELOC volume.
Rapid Lee rising rates tend to bring HELOC came back pretty quickly.
We had developed and released a version of our solution for home equity kind of in parallel so when we did for refi.
So.
Absent the overall market decline just as a result of rates I think we've seen demand for our solution on the enterprise side.
Hold up pretty well.
Thank you that's very helpful.
Thank you.
And I am showing no further questions. This concludes today's conference call. Thank you for participating you may now disconnect.
Goodbye.
The conference will begin shortly to raise your hand during Q&A you can dial star one one.
