Company Guidance

Management guided Q3 to at least 20% revenue growth year‑over‑year, contribution profit dollars to more than double year‑over‑year, and contribution margin of roughly 4.0–4.5% (reflecting seasonal pressure from Q2’s 5.8% margin), while reiterating adjusted EBITDA profitability on a 12‑month go‑forward basis by Q2 2027 and adjusted net income (ANI) positive on a 12‑month go‑forward basis by year‑end 2026; they expect a modest increase in adjusted operating expense in Q3 (mainly holding costs) and a small rise in marketing. For context, Q2 revenue was $883M (+23% QoQ) with $51M contribution profit (+59% QoQ), 4,378 homes purchased in the quarter (+77% QoQ, +149% YoY), 6,908 acquisition contracts (vs. 5,136 in Q1), 2,310 homes under contract to purchase, 5,459 homes in inventory, $896M cash, marketing spend of $5M in Q2 (down from $19M), and aged inventory down to 9%. Management also laid out unit‑cost assumptions (marketing ≈0.5% of acquisition GMV, variable ops ≈0.7%, fixed ops ≈1.7% → ~2.9% of acquisition GMV) and interest a little above 2% of revenue, noting ANI breakeven on a run rate of roughly 6,000 transactions/quarter at $375K per home (~$9B revenue).
