Q4 2025 Offerpad Earnings Call

Speaker #1: To how we execute and scale in 2026. Rich Ford, our Chief Strategy Officer and President of Cash Offer Marketplace, and Chris Carpenter, our Chief Operating Officer.

Brian: to how we execute and scale in 2026. Rich Ford, our Chief Strategy Officer and President of Cash Offer Marketplace, and Chris Carpenter, our Chief Operating Officer. Each of these leaders owns a core operating function that directly impacts how we allocate capital, drive conversion, and deliver returns. Today's call is about 3 things. First, the disciplined capital allocation decisions we made in 2025, decisions that we believe position us for sustainable, profitable growth. Second, how we evolve from a single product company into a 4-solution real estate platform capable of monetizing transactions across a spectrum of capital intensity. Third, how the operational improvements we made in 2025, stronger pricing segmentation, better conversion infrastructure, and deeper marketplace liquidity are translating to momentum we're already seeing in early 2026. Let's start with the market context. The housing market remains constrained. Transaction volumes are below historic norms.

Speaker #1: Each of these leaders owns a core operating function that directly impacts how we allocate capital to drive conversion and deliver returns. Today's call is about three things: first, the disciplined capital allocation decisions we made in 2025—decisions that we believe position us for sustainable, profitable growth; second, how we evolve from a single-product company into a forced solution real estate platform capable of monetizing transactions across the spectrum of capital intensity.

Speaker #1: And third, how the operational improvements we made in 2025 stronger pricing segmentation, better conversion infrastructure, and deeper marketplace liquidity are translating into momentum we're already seeing in early 2026.

Speaker #1: Let's start with the market context. The housing market remains constrained; transaction volumes are below historic norms. Affordability continues to limit mobility. Mortgage rates—while moderating—remain elevated relative to the prior cycle.

Brian: Affordability continues to limit mobility. Mortgage rates, while moderating, remain elevated relative to the prior cycle. Recovery is gradual and uneven. At the same time, nearly half of the listed homes hitting the market today are over 40 years old. Many of these homes require significant updates to meet modern buyer expectations and mortgage financing standards. Yet homeowners are often locked into low mortgage rates and lack the liquidity or time to renovate before selling. The combination of aging inventory, capital constraints, and limited mobility creates friction, and friction suppresses transactions. Friction also creates opportunity for platforms that can step into that gap. That's where Offerpad is designed to perform. We purchase homes at approximately $370,000 median price, which is right in the heart of affordability for first-time and middle-income buyers.

Speaker #1: The combination of agent inventory, capital constraints, and limited mobility creates friction, and friction suppresses transactions. But friction also creates opportunity for platforms that can step into that gap.

Speaker #1: That's where Offerpad is designed to perform. We purchase homes at approximately $370,000 median price, which is right in the heart of affordability for first-time and middle-income buyers.

Speaker #1: In 2025, we invested an average of $25,000 per home in targeted repairs and renovations, and we delivered move-in-ready, mortgage-eligible homes in established neighborhoods where supply is often limited.

Brian: In 2025, we invested an average of $25,000 per home in targeted repairs and renovations, and we delivered move-in ready, mortgage-eligible homes in established neighborhoods where supply is often limited. We're not just facilitating transactions. We're solving a fundamental market problem, expanding access to quality, move-in ready housing at price points where demand is strongest and supply remains constrained. Let me talk about what we did in 2025 and why. Our priority in 2025 was not volume, it was readiness. We made a deliberate choice to widen underwriting spreads, operate with tighter risk guardrails, and slow acquisition velocity, rather than to chase transactions into an uncertain market. Let me be specific about what we saw and why we made that choice. Throughout 2025, the housing market showed intermittent signs of improvement, but the underlying transaction data remained unstable.

Speaker #1: We're not just facilitating transactions; we're solving a fundamental market problem. Expanding access to quality, move-in-ready housing at price points where demand is strongest, and supply remains constrained.

Speaker #1: Now, let me talk about what we did in 2025 and why. Our priority in 2025 was not volume. It was readiness. We made a deliberate choice to widen underwriting spreads, operate with tighter risk guardrails, and slow acquisition velocity rather than to chase transactions into an uncertain market.

Speaker #1: Let me be specific about what we saw and why we made that choice. Throughout 2025, the housing market showed intermittent signs of improvement, but the underlying transaction data remained unstable.

Speaker #1: Existing home sales were approximately 4.1 million units, essentially flat year over year and the lowest annual level since the mid-'90s. At the same time, we observed operational signals across our markets.

Brian: Existing home sales were approximately 4.1 million units, essentially flat year-over-year, and the lowest annual level since the mid-nineties. At the same time, we observed operational signals across our markets. Days on market extended in multiple metros. Price dispersion widened even within the same neighborhoods, and buyer cost pressures from insurance to taxes to maintenance increasingly impacted transaction velocity and completion rates. When transaction velocity slows and price dispersion increases, pricing accuracy matters more and margin for error shrinks. That combination triggered our decision to, one, tighten buy box guardrails, and two, increase required contribution margins before deploying capital. Last year, every home competed for capital. If we could not underwrite to a durable, risk-adjusted return, we simply didn't transact. Importantly, what we're seeing in entering 2026 is greater pricing clarity. While overall transaction volumes remain constrained, instability has moderated.

Speaker #1: While overall transaction volumes remain constrained, instability is moderated. Days on market have stabilized in several of our core markets. Price cuts have become more predictable, and inventory growth has normalized relative to demand.

Brian: Days on market have stabilized in several of our core markets. Price cuts have become more predictable, and inventory growth has normalized relative to demand. We are not calling for a housing surge. What we are seeing is a market that is more measurable, and measurability supports disciplined scaling. Over the past several years, the housing market has reinforced a clear lesson: capital deployed without discipline erodes returns quickly. We chose a different path. In the second half of 2025, we deliberately slowed acquisitions and cleared aged inventory acquired earlier in the year. That decision pressured near-term cash offer margins, but it positioned us to enter 2026 with a cleaner, faster-turning portfolio. As of today, aged inventory that is not under contract has been reduced to fewer than 60 homes, materially lowering aged inventory exposure.

Speaker #1: As of today, aged inventory that is not under contract has been reduced to fewer than 60 homes, materially lowering aged inventory exposure. Importantly, as of the end of the year, all cohorts across our inventory, with the exception of two homes, are expected to be profitable.

Brian: Importantly, as of the end of the year, all cohorts across our inventory, with the exception of two homes, are expected to be profitable. As we enter 2026, we are doing so with a streamlined portfolio, limited aged exposure, and embedded mark-to-market strength across the majority of our assets. Importantly, while we moderated capital deployment, demand did not moderate. Top-of-funnel engagement remained consistent. Just in the past few months, from November through January, signed contracts doubled, up 102%, reflecting stronger downstream execution. December signed volumes increased 71% month-over-month, that momentum carried into January. In fact, as of mid-February, we've signed approximately 305 contracts, nearly matching the full Q4 total of 314, with half the quarter remaining. These are measurable leading indicators that we did not lose demand.

Speaker #1: These are measurable leading indicators that we did not lose demand. We chose to align capital more selectively against that demand. At the same time, we learned something important about today's seller.

Brian: We chose to align capital more selectively against that demand. At the same time, we learned something important about today's seller. Throughout 2025, we analyzed the outcomes of sellers who came to Offerpad. Whether they accepted our cash offer, listed their home, refinanced, or ultimately stayed put. What became clear is this: sellers aren't coming to us for a cash offer alone. They're coming to us for a liquidity solution. They're seeking help understanding trade-offs, timelines, and outcomes. That shift is precisely why expanding into a broader multi-solution platform was necessary. We responded by building an integrated conversion engine designed to meet sellers where they are and guide them to the best solution, whether that's an Offerpad cash offer, an external buyer cash offer through our Cash Offer Marketplace, or a listing solution. Here's what's materially different today compared to prior years.

Speaker #1: Here's what's materially different today compared to prior years. First, we are no longer a one-solution company seeking to attach ancillary services. We are a platform where each solution is designed to generate meaningful revenue and operate at scale.

Brian: First, we are no longer a one-solution company seeking to attach ancillary services. We are a platform where each solution is designed to generate meaningful revenue and operate at scale. Second, we built the operational infrastructure to convert sellers across these pathways. That means dedicated teams, refined handoff processes, and technology that tracks the customer journey across multiple solutions. Third, we're seeing it in our data. Conversion rates are improving. Customers who don't take our cash offer are increasingly staying in our ecosystem by transacting through the marketplace or listing solutions. Now, let me walk you through the 4 solutions that makes this possible. First is the cash offer, which remains the foundation of our business. We deliver pricing certainty to sellers, purchase homes, renovate, and sell them to buyers, create a streamlined, reliable transaction from start to finish.

Our underwriting today reflects a sophisticated application of decision science, supported by generative AI and machine learning that ensures we are buying the right homes in the right markets at the right time.

Brian: Our underwriting today reflects a sophisticated application of decision science, supported by generative AI and machine learning. That ensures we are buying the right homes in the right markets at the right time. We're leveraging years of operating data and experience, transaction history, and market intelligence to increase pricing precision and reduce risk. In parallel, under the leadership of Dr. Jay Singh, our Chief Pricing and Analytics Officer, we are developing and piloting an integrated portfolio management system that applies AI, machine learning, and advanced decision science to optimize the full life cycle of a home, acquisition, hold strategy, and disposition. This platform is designed to fuse qualitative property-level signals, including images, inspection notes, and customer interactions, with quantitative inputs such as local micro-market dynamics, demand indicators, inventory trends, and broader macroeconomic data.

Speaker #1: By integrating qualitative and quantitative data into a unified decision framework, we are improving precision, increasing consistency, and optimizing capital allocation across our cash offer portfolio.

Brian: By integrating qualitative and quantitative data into a unified decision framework, we are improving precision, increasing consistency, and optimizing capital allocation across our cash offer portfolio. Let me be clear about how we think about our cash offer returns. We're not optimizing for margin per home. We're optimizing for return on deployed capital. On a property level, we target contribution margins in the mid-single digits. What matters is capital velocity. We're targeting 90 to 120 day turn times, which means we can turn the same dollar of capital 3 to 4 times per year. When you turn capital that fast, at those property level margins, we're generating annualized returns in the 15% to 20% range on deployed capital. That's the right way to evaluate cash offer economics.

Speaker #1: Now, let me be clear about how we think about our cash offer returns. We're not optimizing for margin per home. We're optimizing for return on deployed capital.

Speaker #1: On a property level, we target contribution margins in the mid-single digits. But what matters is capital velocity. We're targeting 90 to 120-day turn times.

Speaker #1: Which means we can turn the same dollar of capital 3 to 4 times per year. When you turn capital, that's fast. At those property-level margins, we're generating annualized returns in the 15 to 20 percent range on deployed capital.

Speaker #1: That's the right way to evaluate cash offer economics. The business operates with clear guardrails around pricing, risk, and capital deployment. But our focus is velocity and returns, not just margin per transaction.

Brian: The business operates with clear guardrails around pricing, risk, and capital deployment, but our focus is velocity and returns, not just margin per transaction. Second is the Cash Offer Marketplace. This solution extends external buyer demand beyond our balance sheet by routing homes to a diversified network of professional buyers. Our Direct Plus partners include short-term value add operators, regional professional investors, and structured capital buyers. This diversity is strategic. It deepens buyer demand, increases bid confidence, and enhances execution certainty for sellers. By matching homes with the right capital profile for each property and market, we are able to deliver more competitive outcomes while maintaining disciplined capital allocation. When you route a home through the marketplace, we retain a 5% average seller-paid fee, approximately $20,000 on a $400,000 home, without deploying principal capital.

Speaker #1: Last year, marketplace transactions increased approximately 60% year over year. To lead continued growth, Rich Ford joined Offerpad as Chief Strategy Officer and President of Cash Offer Marketplace.

Brian: Last year, marketplace transactions increased approximately 60% year-over-year. To lead continued growth, Rich Ford joined Offerpad as Chief Strategy Officer and President of Cash Offer Marketplace. Rich brings more than two decades of experience building and scaling residential real estate marketplaces. His mandate is to expand and scale this business line. Third is brokerage services. Within brokerage services is HomePro. This is not a traditional listing attachment. It's a premium, differentiated listing service designed to deliver a highly curated, value-added experience for sellers who prefer to go to market. When a seller lists through HomePro, Offerpad earns a referral fee, which averaged approximately $4,500 per transaction in 2025. Within brokerage services, the Agent Partnership Program allows agents to introduce Offerpad as one of several options available to their sellers, including the cash offer.

Speaker #1: Agents remain the trusted advisor, helping sellers evaluate alternatives and determine the right path for their situation. In 2025, approximately one-third of cash offer requests originated through agents who included Offerpad as part of the conversation reinforcing our role as a solutions platform supporting both sellers and real estate professionals.

Brian: Agents remain the trusted advisor, helping sellers evaluate alternatives and determine the right path for their situation. In 2025, approximately 1/3 of cash offer requests originated through agents who included Offerpad as part of the conversation, reinforcing our role as a solutions platform, supporting both sellers and real estate professionals. Additionally, we work with home builders through our Homebuilder Program, helping buyers remove sale contingencies on new construction by providing certainty around the sale of their existing home. Together, brokerage services positions Offerpad as a first stop for both sellers and agents, with the goal of ensuring each customer is directed to the right solution while improving conversion across the platform. Fourth is Renovate. Renovate plays a dual role. First, it enables the performance of our cash offer model. As stated earlier, many homes require updates before they are list-ready and mortgage eligible.

Speaker #1: By executing these improvements efficiently and with cost discipline, we return homes to the market in buyer-ready condition that meets financing standards. This expands access to quality, move-in-ready housing, often at price points aligned with first-time and middle-income buyers, and supply-constrained neighborhoods.

Brian: By executing these improvements efficiently and with cost discipline, we return homes to the market in buyer-ready condition that meets financing standards. This expands access to quality, move-in-ready housing, often at price points aligned with first-time and middle-income buyers in supply-constrained neighborhoods. Second, Renovate is a fee-based B2B service, generating margins between 20% and 30%. It supports professional owners, operators, and Direct Plus partners with targeted repairs and full rehabs, enhancing asset readiness and execution while producing revenue without deploying balance sheet capital. Last year, Renovate generated $27 million in revenue, up approximately 50% year-over-year. Led by veteran renovation leader, Bobby Triplett, who has overseen more than 40,000 renovations, the business delivers consistent execution and cost control at scale. In 2026, we're focused on expanding business-to-business partners while maintaining margin consistency and repeat volume.

Speaker #1: Together, these four solutions provide flexibility to support the right path for each seller while operating within our defined capital structure. Importantly, our 2026 framework does not currently assume additional capital.

Brian: Together, these four solutions provide flexibility to support the right path for each seller while operating within our defined capital structure. Importantly, our 2026 framework does not currently assume additional capital. We believe that capital base we have today positions us well to scale transaction volumes, drive conversion improvements, and return to profitability within that structure. To execute this at scale, we've strengthened operating leadership. Chris Carpenter joined as Chief Operating Officer with responsibility to optimize the operating system that drives execution across the platform, end-to-end performance, cross-functional coordination, and scalable systems that deliver consistent outcomes within our guardrails. Scaling with defined risk requires more than oversight. It requires repeatable processes, disciplined feedback loops, and systems designed to produce optimal outcomes at scale. That is where AI-led decision science becomes foundational. Across acquisition, underwriting, renovation, and disposition, we are embedding institutional-grade analytics into the core operating model.

Speaker #1: Across acquisition, underwriting, renovation, and disposition, we are embedding institutional-grade analytics into the core operating model. Powered by more than a decade of transaction and customer data, our system increasingly integrates both structured and unstructured inputs.

Brian: Powered by more than a decade of transaction and customer data, our system increasingly integrates both structured and unstructured inputs, from market dynamics and inventory trends to property-level signals, to support more consistent, analytically driven decisions. This is not automation for automation's sake. It's about improving return stability. Better precision at entry reduces volatility. Portfolio-level optimization improves capital rotation. More disciplined disposition decisions protect margin and enhance balance sheet efficiency. At the board level, we expand the breadth of expertise to support the continued scaling of our multi-solution real estate operating model with the addition of Tela Gallagher Mathias, who brings more than 25 years of enterprise technology and generative AI leadership across the housing, finance, and regulated environments. The work we did in 2025 was about readiness. We didn't chase volume, we built infrastructure. We didn't deploy capital indiscriminately, we engineered optionality.

Brian: The result is that Offerpad today is a different company than it was 12 months ago. Stepping back, what we're building here is a fundamentally different category leader, not just an iBuyer and more than a brokerage. A housing transaction platform that meets sellers across multiple pathways, deploys capital selectively, and generates returns through a mix of principal and fee-based businesses. Our near-term objective is approximately 1,000 transactions per quarter as we exit 2026. It gets us to profitability. It proves the operating model at scale. Let me be clear, 1,000 transactions per quarter is not the finish line. It's just the beginning. I'll now turn the call over to Peter.

Speaker #1: But let me be clear: 1,000 transactions per quarter is not the finish line—it's just the beginning. I'll now turn the call over to Peter.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Brian. As you've heard, over the past year, and especially in recent months, we've strengthened leadership across our core operating areas, refined our operating model, and leaned into a broader product set focused on targeting higher conversion and profit.

Peter: Thank you, Brian. As you've heard, over the past year, especially in recent months, we've strengthened leadership across our core operating areas, refined our operating model, and leaned into a broader product set focused on targeting higher conversion and profit. That clarity is translating into more disciplined capital deployment, tighter cost control, and more consistent execution. In Q4, revenue was $114 million, with 312 homes sold, bringing full-year revenue to $568 million on 1,591 homes sold. Gross margin was 7% for the quarter and 7.4% for the full year, generating gross profit of $8 million and $42 million, respectively.

Speaker #2: Gross margin was 7% for the quarter and 7.4% for the full year, generating gross profit of $8,042,000, respectively. While volumes in 2025 were below historical norms, the operating framework and controls supporting those transactions are stronger than ever before and we expect this will position us to scale back up to higher volumes driven by our broader product set.

Peter: While volumes in 2025 were below historical norms, the operating framework and controls supporting those transactions are stronger than ever before, we expect this will position us to scale back up to higher volumes, driven by our broader product set. Adjusted EBITDA loss for Q4 was $6.9 million. Excluding one-time restructuring and other costs, underlying performance was consistent with the prior quarter. At quarter end, total liquidity was over $55 million, reflecting unrestricted cash, plus the estimated fair market value of our inventory and including $27 million of unrestricted cash. As previously announced, we completed an $18 million capital raise early in Q1 of 2026, further strengthening our liquidity and providing additional flexibility to support increased transaction volumes.

Speaker #2: Adjusted EBITDA loss for the fourth quarter was $6.9 million. Excluding one-time restructuring and other costs, underlying performance was consistent with the prior quarter. At quarter end, total liquidity was over $55 million, reflecting unrestricted cash plus the estimated fair market value of our inventory, and including $27 million of unrestricted cash.

Speaker #2: As previously announced, we completed an $18 million capital raise early in the first quarter of 2026, further strengthening our liquidity and providing additional flexibility to support increased transaction volumes.

Speaker #2: Including the $18 million capital raise, our total liquidity was over $70 million. At the same time, the cost structure of the business has fundamentally changed.

Peter: Including the $18 million capital raise, our total liquidity was over $70 million. At the same time, the cost structure of the business has fundamentally changed, with over $140 million of annualized expenses removed since 2022. Importantly, our cost base can support much higher transaction volumes without proportional overhead growth. That operating leverage is a critical driver of our expected path to profitability in 2026. Turning to the near term, we expect Q1 to reflect normal seasonality and a measured start for the year. For Q1, we are guiding to 250 to 300 real estate transactions across cash offer, Cash Offer Marketplace, and brokerage listings, with revenue of $70 million to $95 million in sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA. Importantly, we believe current transaction volume represents a trough for the business.

Speaker #2: Importantly, we believe current transaction volume represents a trough for the business. The low volume experienced over 2025 is expected to be temporary and reflects our strategic expansion into a broader set of solutions.

Peter: The low volume experienced over 2025 is expected to be temporary and reflects our strategic expansion into a broader set of solutions. By offering more paths for sellers, we increase the likelihood of engagement and selection, which we expect to drive aggregate transaction growth, improved overall conversion, and a reduction in customer acquisition costs over time. We've already begun to see increased activity early in the year, with transaction pipeline rising meaningfully in the first several weeks of the quarter. Given the natural timing of the acquisition to sales cycle, that pipeline momentum is expected to translate into higher closed transaction volumes over subsequent quarters, supporting growth in volume as we move through the year. In 2026, our expectation is to return to approximately 1,000 home transactions per quarter across cash offer, Cash Offer Marketplace, and brokerage services.

Speaker #2: In 2026, our expectation is to return to approximately 1,000 home transactions per quarter across cash offer, cash offer marketplace, and brokerage services. We expect to reach this goal as we exit 2026.

Peter: We expect to reach this goal as we exit 2026. Separately, Renovate remains an important revenue engine, incremental to the rest of the business. Renovate delivered $27.1 million in revenue in 2025. While these projects are service-based B2B transactions and not included in the 1,000 transaction per quarter target, they contribute meaningfully to margin and overall profitability. At these levels of activity, and with the cost structure and product mix in place today, we believe the business is positioned to support a return to profitability. Based on our current outlook, we continue to expect to achieve positive adjusted EBITDA within the year. We enter 2026 with a stronger balance sheet, a structurally lower cost base, healthy inventory levels, and a broader set of monetization pathways than at any point in recent years.

Speaker #2: That foundation supports more consistent performance as we scale responsibly across a diversified platform. Importantly, our 2026 operating framework currently does not require incremental capital to execute.

Peter: That foundation supports more consistent performance as we scale responsibly across a diversified platform. Importantly, our 2026 operating framework currently does not require incremental capital to execute. We believe our current liquidity position, asset-backed facilities, and operating structure fully support our plan to scale within defined guardrails. We remain open to potential capital opportunities if they enhance flexibility, lower our cost of capital, or accelerate growth initiatives. With that, we are now ready to take your questions.

Speaker #1: Great, thanks for taking my question. I have two, so first one for Brian. With the AI expertise you've added across the board in management, where are you most excited to see the impact of AI in your business?

Dae Lee: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. I have two. First one for Brian. With the AI expertise you've added across the board of management, where are you most excited to see the impact of AI in your business, and which PNL line should we expect to see that show up first? Secondly, to Peter, could you walk us through the bridge from Q1 2026 transaction volume to the year-end target? If there's any, like, key step up or proof points that we should be watching during the year, and if that rise should be steady, or do you expect more of a back out ramp as you go into 2027? Thank you.

Dae Lee: Great. Thanks for taking my questions. I have two. First one for Brian.

Thank you.

Speaker #1: And which P&L line should we expect to see that show up first? And secondly, to Peter, could you walk us through the bridge from first quarter 2026 transaction volume to the year-end target?

Speaker #1: And if there are any key step-ups or proof points that we should be watching through the year, and if that rise should be steady, or do you expect more of a back-end ramp as you go into 2027?

Speaker #1: Thank you.

Speaker #4: Hey, Dave. Peter, do you want to take the first one? I'll take—sure, if you want. Start with the second question.

Brian: Hey, Dae. Do you want to take the first one, and I'll take-

Brian Bair: Hey, Dae. Do you want to take the first one, and I'll take-

Peter: Sure. You want to start with the second question?

Peter Knag: Sure. You want to start with the second question?

Brian: Yeah, start with the second.

Brian Bair: Yeah, start with the second.

Speaker #1: Yeah, start with the second. Yeah, sure. Sure. So we're ramping. I mean, we've effectively given full-year guidance, right, at 1,000 transactions and per quarter as we exit.

Peter: Yeah, sure. Sure. So, so we, we're ramping. I mean, we've effectively give, given, full year guidance, right, at 1,000 transactions and, per, per quarter as we exit. That means that, you know, on a run rate basis as we exit, we'll get up to that level. We've guided towards 250 to 300 real estate transactions. Just, you know, reclarifying that, we're moving now to a focus, a 3 product focus across the Cash Offer Marketplace, which is when we're selling homes, underwriting and selling to an investor, and, 3, traditional list product as well.

Peter Knag: Yeah, sure. Sure. So, so we, we're ramping. I mean, we've effectively give, given, full year guidance, right, at 1,000 transactions and, per, per quarter as we exit. That means that, you know, on a run rate basis as we exit, we'll get up to that level. We've guided towards 250 to 300 real estate transactions. Just, you know, reclarifying that, we're moving now to a focus, a 3 product focus across the Cash Offer Marketplace, which is when we're selling homes, underwriting and selling to an investor, and, 3, traditional list product as well.

Speaker #1: And so, that means that on a run-rate basis, as we exit, we'll get up to that level. We've guided towards 250 to 300 real estate transactions. And just re-clarifying, we're moving now to a focus of three product-focused offerings across the cash offer.

Speaker #1: The cash offer marketplace, which is when we're selling homes underwriting and selling to an investor, and three traditional lists product as well. So the we are not giving guidance for second quarter and third quarter, but what I'd say, Dave, is we expect a fairly roughly linear growth trend as we move from in the neighborhood of 100 transactions per month up to just above 300 transactions a month across a broader product set of three products instead of one.

Peter: We are not giving guidance for Q2 and Q3, but what I'd say, Dae, is we expect a fairly, you know, roughly linear growth trend as we move from in the neighborhood of 100 transactions per month, up to just above 300 transactions a month across a broader product set of three products instead of one.

Peter Knag: We are not giving guidance for Q2 and Q3, but what I'd say, Dae, is we expect a fairly, you know, roughly linear growth trend as we move from in the neighborhood of 100 transactions per month, up to just above 300 transactions a month across a broader product set of three products instead of one.

Speaker #4: Yeah, and then I'll take—hey, Dave, I'll take the AI. You'll listen. AI is such a powerful tool. I'm excited in a lot of different—a lot of different areas there.

Brian: Yeah, I'll take... Hey, Dae, I'll take the AI. You know, listen, AI is such a powerful tool. I'm excited in a lot of different, a lot of different areas there. Specifically, you know, the real estate operations and the power of AI, what we're working on there as far as pricing, pricing sensitivity, you know, we have 10 years of data that we can pull from property inspections to likely sellers to... It's just phenomenal what, what, what, you know, over the last 10 years of what AI can do with that. The data that we have in place, but also just as we work through the process of, from the disposition process, when to sell, how to sell, how to look at those things differently.

Brian Bair: Yeah, I'll take... Hey, Dae, I'll take the AI. You know, listen, AI is such a powerful tool. I'm excited in a lot of different, a lot of different areas there. Specifically, you know, the real estate operations and the power of AI, what we're working on there as far as pricing, pricing sensitivity, you know, we have 10 years of data that we can pull from property inspections to likely sellers to... It's just phenomenal what, what, what, you know, over the last 10 years of what AI can do with that. The data that we have in place, but also just as we work through the process of, from the disposition process, when to sell, how to sell, how to look at those things differently.

Speaker #4: But specifically, the real estate operations and the power of AI, what we're working on there, as far as pricing, pricing sensitivity, we have 10 years of data that we can pull from property inspections to likely sellers to it's just phenomenal what over the last 10 years of what AI can do with that.

Speaker #4: And so the data that we have in place, but also just as we work through the process from the disposition process—of when to sell, how to sell, how to look at those things differently—but there is, like I said, the real estate is really impactful.

Brian: There, there is, like I said, the, the, the real estate is, is, is really impactful. We're also seeing immediately, we're seeing some really good impact in just something very simple is through AI voice scheduling inspections. You know, we schedule hundreds and thousands of, of, of inspections throughout the year. We've had a lot of labor, either outsourcing it or, or, you know, overseas or having large internal teams. You know, with the, with the ability of AI voice, we can now schedule in inspections, have our call center Q&A, people can call and ask questions about where they are in the process. And the, and the other thing I'll just add about AI is that it's, it's across the company.

Brian Bair: There, there is, like I said, the, the, the real estate is, is, is really impactful. We're also seeing immediately, we're seeing some really good impact in just something very simple is through AI voice scheduling inspections. You know, we schedule hundreds and thousands of, of, of inspections throughout the year. We've had a lot of labor, either outsourcing it or, or, you know, overseas or having large internal teams. You know, with the, with the ability of AI voice, we can now schedule in inspections, have our call center Q&A, people can call and ask questions about where they are in the process. And the, and the other thing I'll just add about AI is that it's, it's across the company.

Speaker #4: But we're also seeing—immediately—we're seeing some really good impact in just something very simple, which is through AI voice scheduling inspections. We schedule hundreds, and thousands, of inspections throughout the year.

Speaker #4: We've had a lot of labor, either outsourcing it or overseas, or having large internal teams. And with the ability of AI voice, we can now schedule inspections to have our call center Q&A people call and ask questions about where they are in the process.

Speaker #4: So, and the other thing I'll just add about AI is that it's across the company. Even just our individual employees using that in their day-to-day life—that is, I think it makes them 60 to 70 percent more efficient.

Brian: You know, even just our individual employees using that in their day-to-day, you know, life on that, is I think it makes them 60, 70% more efficient. You know, there's, there's a lot of opportunity we're really excited about there.

Brian Bair: You know, even just our individual employees using that in their day-to-day, you know, life on that, is I think it makes them 60, 70% more efficient. You know, there's, there's a lot of opportunity we're really excited about there.

Speaker #4: So, there's a lot of opportunity we're really excited about there.

Speaker #1: Thank you.

Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Ryan Tomasello with KBW. Your line is open.

Speaker #1: Hi, Ron. Thanks for taking the questions. Starting with the real estate transaction targets for the year, can you give us a sense of what mix you expect the traditional cash offer products to comprise as you kind of march towards that 1,000 target per quarter?

Ryan Tomasello: Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions. Starting with the real estate transaction targets for the year, can you give us a sense of, of what mix you expect for traditional cash offer, products to comprise, as you kind of march towards that 1,000 target per quarter? You know, more near term here, what's being baked into the Q1, Q2 guide, for real estate transactions in terms of that cash offer mix?

Ryan Tomasello: Hi, everyone. Thanks for taking the questions.

Speaker #1: And more near term here, what's being baked into the ones you guide for real estate transactions in terms of that cash offer mix?

Speaker #4: Sure. Yeah. So we—hey, Ryan—so we have been, as we've talked about before, it depends on the month and the quarter, but somewhere in the neighborhood of a third of the transactions have been across Direct Plus.

Peter: Sure. Yeah. Hey, Ryan. We, we have been, as we've, we've talked about before, it depends on the month and the quarter, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/3 of the transactions are, have been across Direct Plus and 2/3 through cash offer. Now, we have three, three products, not primarily one or one, one or two. As we, as we roll out as we focus really equally across three products, we expect that mix to move up towards, you know, eventually to 50/50 range. Again, it'll, it'll change month-over-month. That, that's the effectively where, where we expect to go.

Peter Knag: Sure. Yeah. Hey, Ryan. We, we have been, as we've, we've talked about before, it depends on the month and the quarter, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 1/3 of the transactions are, have been across Direct Plus and 2/3 through cash offer. Now, we have three, three products, not primarily one or one, one or two. As we, as we roll out as we focus really equally across three products, we expect that mix to move up towards, you know, eventually to 50/50 range. Again, it'll, it'll change month-over-month. That, that's the effectively where, where we expect to go.

Speaker #4: And two-thirds through cash offer. Now we have three products, not primarily one or one or two. As we roll out, as we focus really equally across three products, we expect that mix to move up towards, eventually, to the 50/50 range.

Speaker #4: Again, it'll change month over month, but that's effectively where we expect to go.

Speaker #1: Yeah. So I think and hey, Ryan, I think you're going to see two-thirds, one-third as we begin here. But like Peter said, we're focused and the our focus really is what's going to provide seller with the best solution.

Brian: Yeah, hey Ryan, I think you're gonna see 2/3, 1/3 as we begin here. Like Peter said, we're focused and, you know, our focus really is what's gonna provide seller with the best solution, whether that's a cash offer from Offerpad or one of our partners or the listing side. We're gonna work towards 50/50 and figuring out what the best solution for them is. As we focus on every day, everyone that comes to Offerpad, we wanna provide, we wanna have a solution for them and be able to convert them into one of our solutions.

Brian Bair: Yeah, hey Ryan, I think you're gonna see 2/3, 1/3 as we begin here. Like Peter said, we're focused and, you know, our focus really is what's gonna provide seller with the best solution, whether that's a cash offer from Offerpad or one of our partners or the listing side. We're gonna work towards 50/50 and figuring out what the best solution for them is. As we focus on every day, everyone that comes to Offerpad, we wanna provide, we wanna have a solution for them and be able to convert them into one of our solutions.

Speaker #1: Whether that's a cash offer from Offerpad or one of our partners, or the listing side. And so we're going to work towards 50/50 and figuring out what the best solution for them is.

Speaker #1: And so, as we focus on every day, everyone that comes to Offerpad, we want to provide—we want to have a solution for them and be able to convert them into one of our solutions.

Speaker #4: And I'd just add one more thing, Ryan, just to that. We are, on our trending schedules on the IR site, going to begin breaking out volumes across.

Peter: I just add 1 more thing, Ryan, just as to that, we are on our trending schedules on the IR site, going to begin breaking out volumes across. We already have Cash Offer and Renovate. We're gonna have a third KPI with volumes for the other 2, 2 products. Just finally, as you think about the quarters, we're not guiding specifically to the mix for Q1, but you can look at the percentages. I'd add for, for Q4, we, in addition to the homes sold number that we disclosed, there were over-- there were between 50 and, well, above 50 transactions across the other services.

Peter Knag: I just add 1 more thing, Ryan, just as to that, we are on our trending schedules on the IR site, going to begin breaking out volumes across. We already have Cash Offer and Renovate. We're gonna have a third KPI with volumes for the other 2, 2 products. Just finally, as you think about the quarters, we're not guiding specifically to the mix for Q1, but you can look at the percentages. I'd add for, for Q4, we, in addition to the homes sold number that we disclosed, there were over-- there were between 50 and, well, above 50 transactions across the other services.

Speaker #4: We already have cash offer and renovate. We're going to have a third KPI with volumes for the other two products. And then just finally, as you think about the quarters, we're not guiding specifically to the mix for first quarter, but you can look at the percentages and then I'd add for fourth quarter, we in addition to the home sold number that we disclosed, there were between 50 and above 50 transactions across the other services.

Speaker #1: Okay. Yeah. I appreciate all that color. And then you guys have obviously done a really nice job executing on the expense efficiency side I guess as you think through your 2026 operating framework here, how much more wood is there still left to chop on the expense side?

Ryan Tomasello: Okay, yeah, I appreciate all that color. Then you guys have obviously done a really nice job executing on the expense efficiency side. I guess, as you think through your, your 2026 operating framework here, how much more wood is there still left to chop on the expense side? How dependent is the break-even EBITDA target on, on continuing to drive down on the OpEx side of the PNL?

Ryan Tomasello: Okay, yeah, I appreciate all that color. Then you guys have obviously done a really nice job executing on the expense efficiency side. I guess, as you think through your, your 2026 operating framework here, how much more wood is there still left to chop on the expense side? How dependent is the break-even EBITDA target on, on continuing to drive down on the OpEx side of the PNL?

Speaker #1: And how dependent is the break-even EBITDA target on continuing to drive down on the OPEX side of the P&L?

Speaker #4: Yeah, for sure. I mean, first, I'd point out we've done a lot there. If you just look at and so part of expenses is we will continue to march forward and take out additional expenses.

Peter: Yeah, for sure. I mean, first, I'd point out we, you know, we've done a lot there. If you just look at, part of, part of expenses is we, we, we, we will continue to march forward and take out additional expenses. If you look at Q4 2025 versus Q4 2024, operating expenses came down from $24 million to $15 million, so $9 million there. Again, we will there was an additional RIF and some actions in Q4. There's some third-party spend that we continue to look at, one that, one that's a fairly large item that we're, that we're hoping to execute across. There will be, there will be more there. I just wanna highlight that we've, we've already come a long way.

Peter Knag: Yeah, for sure. I mean, first, I'd point out we, you know, we've done a lot there. If you just look at, part of, part of expenses is we, we, we, we will continue to march forward and take out additional expenses. If you look at Q4 2025 versus Q4 2024, operating expenses came down from $24 million to $15 million, so $9 million there. Again, we will there was an additional RIF and some actions in Q4. There's some third-party spend that we continue to look at, one that, one that's a fairly large item that we're, that we're hoping to execute across. There will be, there will be more there. I just wanna highlight that we've, we've already come a long way.

Speaker #4: If you look at Q4 '25 versus Q4 '24, operating expenses came down from $24 million to $15 million, so $9 million there. Again, we will continue—there was an additional RIF and some actions in the fourth quarter.

Speaker #4: There's some third-party spend that we continue to look at—one that's a fairly large item that we're hoping to execute across. So, there will be more there.

Speaker #4: I just want to highlight that we've already come a long way. So as we look at taking the operating contribution from a cash flow perspective down to zero, we've done a lot of it already.

Peter: As we, as we look at the, the taking the, the operating, the, the, taking the operating contribution from our-- from, from a cash flow perspective down to zero, we, we've done a lot of it already. The, the biggest piece that, that's left is to, is to take up the transactions up towards 1,000 transactions per quarter.

Peter Knag: As we, as we look at the, the taking the, the operating, the, the, taking the operating contribution from our-- from, from a cash flow perspective down to zero, we, we've done a lot of it already. The, the biggest piece that, that's left is to, is to take up the transactions up towards 1,000 transactions per quarter.

Speaker #4: The biggest piece that's left is to take up the transactions up towards 1,000 transactions per quarter.

Speaker #1: And Ryan, one thing that I'll add to that is with what we're looking at as we build and scale the company again, scale it differently and smarter.

Brian: Ryan, one thing that I'll add to that is, you know, with what we're looking at as we build and scale the company again, scale it differently and smarter, and obviously with the power of AI and technology, the ability of what we can do as we continue to grow, the 1,000 transactions is our 1st short-term goal, and then after that. To scale it through AI and technology is something we're gonna be focused on. Great. Thanks, guys.

Brian Bair: Ryan, one thing that I'll add to that is, you know, with what we're looking at as we build and scale the company again, scale it differently and smarter, and obviously with the power of AI and technology, the ability of what we can do as we continue to grow, the 1,000 transactions is our 1st short-term goal, and then after that. To scale it through AI and technology is something we're gonna be focused on.

Speaker #1: And obviously, with the power of AI and technology, the ability of what we can do as we continue to grow, the 1,000 transactions are first short-term goal.

Speaker #1: And then after that. But to scale it through AI and technology is something we're going to be focused on.

Speaker #5: Great. Thanks, guys.

Ryan Tomasello: Great. Thanks, guys.

Speaker #3: Again, just a reminder, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star and the number one on your keypad. Our next question comes from Gaurav Mehta with Alliance Global Partners.

Operator: Again, just a reminder, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star and the number 1 on your keypad. Our next question comes from Gaurav Mehta with Alliance Global Partners. Your line is open.

Operator: Again, just a reminder, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star and the number 1 on your keypad. Our next question comes from Gaurav Mehta with Alliance Global Partners. Your line is open.

Speaker #3: Your line is open.

Speaker #1: Yeah, thanks for taking my question. I wanted to ask you about your comments around the four solutions platform, and maybe get some color on how you view revenue allocation from each of those solutions.

Gaurav Mehta: Yeah, thanks for taking my, my question. I wanted to ask you on your comments around 4 solutions platform and, you know, may, maybe get some color on, you know, how you view revenue allocation from each of those solutions, maybe near term and short, long term.

Gaurav Mehta: Yeah, thanks for taking my, my question. I wanted to ask you on your comments around 4 solutions platform and, you know, may, maybe get some color on, you know, how you view revenue allocation from each of those solutions, maybe near term and short, long term.

Speaker #1: Maybe near-term and long-term.

Speaker #4: Sure. Yeah. So this business is all about conversion, and there are three solutions that are solutions for our home sellers. And again, we're really pivoting from mostly focusing on one solution to three.

Peter: Sure. Yeah, this business is all about conversion, and by... There's really, there's 3 solutions that are, that are solutions for our, our, our home sellers. Again, we're really pivoting from, you know, mostly focusing on 1 solution to 3. By doing that, we, we, we expect that conversion will climb materially. One of the, one of the big focus areas of our chief operating officer who just joined is, is conversion across our portfolio. We, we have, in any given month, somewhere between 10 and 20,000 home sellers top of funnel. To get to the 1,000 transaction mark per quarter, we need to increase conversion by just around 1%.

Peter Knag: Sure. Yeah, this business is all about conversion, and by... There's really, there's 3 solutions that are, that are solutions for our, our, our home sellers. Again, we're really pivoting from, you know, mostly focusing on 1 solution to 3. By doing that, we, we, we expect that conversion will climb materially. One of the, one of the big focus areas of our chief operating officer who just joined is, is conversion across our portfolio. We, we have, in any given month, somewhere between 10 and 20,000 home sellers top of funnel. To get to the 1,000 transaction mark per quarter, we need to increase conversion by just around 1%.

Speaker #4: And by doing that, we expect that conversion will climb materially. One of the big focus areas of our Chief Operating Officer, who just joined, is conversion across our portfolio.

Speaker #4: We have in any given month somewhere between 10 and 20 thousand home sellers top of funnel and to get to the 1,000 transaction mark, per quarter, we need to increase conversion by just around 1%.

Speaker #4: So it's not a huge amount when you look at it from that perspective. And then just to round out your question, it's really three products that are focused on the home seller and conversion that are that homeowner B2C transaction and our fourth product is really a separate product line.

Peter: It's not a huge amount when you look at it from that perspective. Just to round out your question, it's really three products that are focused on the home seller and conversion that are that homeowner B2C transaction. Our fourth product is really a separate, you know, product line. It's related. It's our renovation business, where we renovate real estate assets, single-family homes that are owned by other third parties.

Peter Knag: It's not a huge amount when you look at it from that perspective. Just to round out your question, it's really three products that are focused on the home seller and conversion that are that homeowner B2C transaction. Our fourth product is really a separate, you know, product line. It's related. It's our renovation business, where we renovate real estate assets, single-family homes that are owned by other third parties.

Speaker #4: It's related. It's our renovation business where we renovate real estate assets, single-family homes that are owned by other third parties.

Speaker #1: All right. Thanks for that color. The second question I want to ask you, maybe big picture, there have been some talks about government restricting institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes.

Gaurav Mehta: All right. Thanks for that color. The second question I want to ask you, maybe big picture, you know, there have been some talks about government restricting institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes. Just wanted to get some color if that impacts your business at all, directly or indirectly?

Gaurav Mehta: All right. Thanks for that color. The second question I want to ask you, maybe big picture, you know, there have been some talks about government restricting institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes. Just wanted to get some color if that impacts your business at all, directly or indirectly?

Speaker #1: And just wanted to get some color if that impacts your business at all, directly or indirectly.

Speaker #4: Yeah. So as far as from the Offerpad perspective, we own homes short-term. So we're aligned with how they're thinking is the home ownership side.

Brian: Yeah, as, as far as from the Offerpad perspective, we own homes short term. We're aligned with how they're thinking is, you know, the homeownership side, you know, that's what our-- that's the mission of our company from day one. Definitely aligned on that. You know, from an Offerpad perspective, we buy, renovate, and sell homes and put a better home on the market within a very short period of time. As far as our Cash Offer Marketplace, you know, there's two ways to look at our Direct Plus partners in there. We have long-term investors, which think of the rental fund, and we have short terms.

Brian Bair: Yeah, as, as far as from the Offerpad perspective, we own homes short term. We're aligned with how they're thinking is, you know, the homeownership side, you know, that's what our-- that's the mission of our company from day one. Definitely aligned on that. You know, from an Offerpad perspective, we buy, renovate, and sell homes and put a better home on the market within a very short period of time. As far as our Cash Offer Marketplace, you know, there's two ways to look at our Direct Plus partners in there. We have long-term investors, which think of the rental fund, and we have short terms.

Speaker #4: That's what our that's the mission of our company from day one. So definitely aligned on that. From an Offerpad perspective, we buy renovate and sell homes and put a better home on the market within a very short period of time.

Speaker #4: As far as our cash offer marketplace, there's two ways to look at our Direct Plus partners in there. We have long-term investors, which think of the rental short-term side, you'll see everything from think of more fixed and flip to partners in there that will have a different kind of cash buyers or cash offer for the seller.

Brian: On the short-term side, you'll see everything from, think of more fix and flips, to partners in there that will have a different kind of cash buyers or a cash offer for the seller. They'll get 80% of the money upfront and then be able to have some of the share, some of the upside. From the long-term investment side, obviously, we're watching that closely. What we have focused on the last year is adding a different array of cash buyers in there. We have hundreds of different kinds of cash buyers in there. For example, if one segment slows down for any reason, we're going to have another segment that can pick up that volume.

Brian Bair: On the short-term side, you'll see everything from, think of more fix and flips, to partners in there that will have a different kind of cash buyers or a cash offer for the seller. They'll get 80% of the money upfront and then be able to have some of the share, some of the upside. From the long-term investment side, obviously, we're watching that closely. What we have focused on the last year is adding a different array of cash buyers in there. We have hundreds of different kinds of cash buyers in there. For example, if one segment slows down for any reason, we're going to have another segment that can pick up that volume.

Speaker #4: So they'll get 80% of the money upfront. And then be able to have some of the share, some of the upside. So from the long-term investment side, obviously, we're watching that closely.

Speaker #4: But what we have focused on the last year is adding a different array of cash buyers in there. So have hundreds of different kinds of cash buyers in there.

Speaker #4: So, for example, if one segment slows down for any reason, we're going to have another segment that can pick up that volume. And so, obviously, we're watching it closely, but I do like, just overall, I think the focus on affordability and home ownership is— I think it's key for Offerpad, and it's something we believe in.

Brian: obviously, we're, we're watching it closely. I do like, just overall, I think the, the, the focus on affordability and, and homeownership is, is I think it's key for Offerpad, and it's something we believe in.

Brian Bair: obviously, we're, we're watching it closely. I do like, just overall, I think the, the, the focus on affordability and, and homeownership is, is I think it's key for Offerpad, and it's something we believe in.

Speaker #1: All right. Thanks for that detail. That's all I had.

Gaurav Mehta: All right. Thanks for that detail. That's all I have.

Gaurav Mehta: All right. Thanks for that detail. That's all I have.
