Risks

• Health of the U.S. residential real estate industry, with lower than normal transaction volumes and uncertainty regarding near-term macroeconomic conditions.
• Ability to accurately value and manage real estate inventory, maintain adequate supply, and manage renovations, especially with increased real estate inventory valuation adjustments.
• Ability to achieve and maintain profitability in the future, given continued net losses.
• Compliance with New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) Rule 802.01B and other continued listing rules, despite the accepted cure plan.
• Impact of macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns, including potential tariffs or retaliatory tariffs, on market uncertainty and costs of materials/supplies for renovations.
• Reliance on non-recourse asset-backed financing facilities, with the risk of losing adequate access or inability to maintain favorable terms.
• Potential for significant dilution if additional funds are raised through further issuances of equity or equity-linked securities.
• Uncertain outcome of pending class action litigation alleging breach of fiduciary duties related to the 2021 merger, with potential indemnification obligations.

Future Outlook

The company anticipates that the sustained elevated and volatile mortgage interest rate environment, economic uncertainties, and affordability pressures will continue to impact consumer demand for residential real estate during the third quarter of 2025. It expects to continue using pricing adjustments and incentives, along with reducing its real estate inventory acquisition pace. The average real estate inventory holding period is expected to remain generally consistent at around 140 days during Q3 2025. The company intends to continue evaluating expansion plans on an ongoing basis to maintain flexibility in assessing timing and appropriate market entry points. It believes current cash, proceeds from home resales, asset-light offerings, the July 2025 Offering, Revolving Credit Facility, and future borrowings will be sufficient to meet obligations for at least the next 12 months, but acknowledges potential need for additional financing if market conditions worsen.

Management Comments

• The uncertain economic outlook and uneven residential real estate market conditions that have challenged our operating results in recent periods persisted, with the average thirty-year fixed mortgage rate continuing to generally remain between 6.5% and 7%.
• Our focus on making more intentional offers and our ongoing reduction in home acquisition pace as part of our effort to balance our real estate inventory levels to potentially optimize our return, has resulted in a fewer number of homes in real estate inventory, which is also reflected in our operating results.
• We achieved both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year improvement in our net loss as we have continued to focus on cost reduction and operational efficiencies throughout the business.
• Given the current market conditions, we remain focused on growing our asset-light platform offerings, and within our Cash Offer solution, proactively optimizing our capital allocation across our highest performing and most efficient markets and using pricing adjustments and other incentives in an effort to drive consumer demand.
• Although it remains difficult to predict the near-term direction of consumer demand for residential real estate due to the many different factors that impact such demand, we anticipate that the sustained elevated and volatile mortgage interest rate environment, economic uncertainties and affordability pressures will continue to impact consumer demand for residential real estate during the third quarter of 2025.
• This reduction in the borrowing capacities has also decreased the fees associated with our credit facilities, a trend we expect to persist in the future as our asset-light platform offerings continue to increase and become a more significant component of our operations.

Industry Context

The U.S. residential real estate industry continues to face significant headwinds from elevated and volatile mortgage interest rates (generally between 6.5% and 7%), which negatively impact housing affordability and transaction velocity. Macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns, including trade-related tariffs, further compound market uncertainty and hinder consumer confidence, leading to lower than normal real estate transaction volumes. The company's strategy of reducing home acquisition pace and focusing on asset-light offerings like B2B renovation services and agent partnerships reflects a broader industry trend of adapting to a more challenging, lower-volume market by diversifying revenue streams and optimizing capital allocation.

Legal Proceedings

• A class action lawsuit, 'In re Supernova Partners Acquisition Co. SPAC Litigation', C.A. No. 2024-0887 (Del. Ch.), was filed on August 26, 2024, alleging breach of fiduciary duties by Supernova Defendants and aiding and abetting by Offerpad Defendants in connection with the September 1, 2021 merger. The Offerpad Defendants were dismissed without prejudice on February 24, 2025. The stay on proceedings was lifted on June 30, 2025. The outcome is uncertain, and the company is unable to reasonably estimate a loss in excess of its accrual.

Related Party Transactions

• The company has senior and mezzanine secured credit facilities with affiliates of LL Capital Partners I, L.P., a related party. Roberto Sella, a Board member, is the managing partner of LL Funds and holds over 5% of Class A common stock. Interest paid on these facilities was $1.6 million in Q2 2025 and $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
• The company utilizes services from First American Financial Corporation, which holds over 5% of Class A common stock. Kenneth DeGiorgio, a Board member, was CEO of First American until early April 2025. Payments to First American were $0.9 million in Q2 2025 and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Restricted stock units were also granted to Mr. Vaughn Bair (42,500 RSUs) and Ms. Katie Bullard (20,000 RSUs) in Q2 2025.

Stakeholder Impact

• **Shareholders**: Experience significant dilution from the recent equity offering and potential future capital raises. The NYSE non-compliance notice and substantial decline in stockholders' equity indicate a challenging investment environment. However, the acceptance of the NYSE cure plan and management's efforts to reduce losses and control costs may offer some stability.
• **Employees**: Decreased average employee headcount across sales, marketing, general & administrative, and technology & development suggests workforce reductions. Stock-based compensation remains a component of remuneration, with new RSU grants and plan amendments.
• **Customers**: The company's focus on 'intentional offers' and 'pricing adjustments and other incentives' may impact the terms offered to sellers. The launch of HomePro aims to enhance customer engagement and provide more comprehensive solutions.
• **Creditors**: The company obtained a temporary waiver of minimum liquidity and tangible net worth covenants under related party facilities, indicating potential concerns about its ability to meet financial obligations without such waivers. The new revolving credit facility provides additional liquidity but also adds to debt.

Next Steps

• Continue to focus on growing asset-light platform offerings.
• Proactively optimize capital allocation across highest performing and most efficient markets.
• Utilize pricing adjustments and other incentives to drive consumer demand.
• Continue to evaluate expansion plans on an ongoing basis.
• Subject to quarterly monitoring by NYSE for compliance with the business plan over the next 18 months.
• Recognize unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs ($3.0 million over 2.66 years) and stock options ($0.1 million over 0.68 years).
• Evaluate the impact of new FASB standards on income tax disclosures (effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024) and disaggregation of income statement expenses (effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026).

Key Dates

Recommendation

While Offerpad Solutions Inc. faces significant headwinds, including a substantial revenue decline, continued net losses, and a precarious balance sheet (evidenced by the NYSE non-compliance notice and declining stockholders' equity), management is actively implementing strategic shifts and cost-cutting measures. The improved net loss in Q2 2025, reduced operating expenses, and successful capital raise efforts (new credit facility and equity offering) demonstrate proactive steps to stabilize the business. The acceptance of the NYSE cure plan provides a pathway to maintain listing. Given the challenging industry environment, the company's adaptive strategy and operational improvements warrant a 'hold' recommendation, as a 'sell' might be premature considering the active management response, and a 'buy' is not justified by the current financial distress and inherent risks.
