BETR company outlook (results filed Oct 14, 2026)
- “As late as the August 3rd board meeting, the day I was fired, the Company's own projections were estimating that we were on track to over $1.5 billion of volume, over $53 million of revenue, and $12 million of Adjusted EBITDA loss, which, if achieved, would have handily came in at the top end of the guidance range on all three metrics.”
- “Preliminary third quarter Loan Volume was $1.395 billion, within the Company's previously issued guidance range of $1.375 billion to $1.525 billion.”
- “Total Net Revenues were $45.1 million, below previously issued guidance of $49.0 million to $52.0 million, reflecting both interest rate headwinds and the focus on the proxy solicitation distraction which lowered morale, impacted conversion, and lengthened partner launch timelines.”
- “Preliminary Adjusted EBITDA loss was $24.8 million to $25.8 million, compared with previously issued guidance for an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $15.0 million to $18.0 million.”
Quoted word-for-word from the SEC 8-K results press release.
