The one-year revenue growth assumption on Valuation.

Dated 2026-10-14
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On October 5, 2026, Better Home & Finance Holding Company (the “Company”) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, due to the resignations and removals from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 6, 2026 and in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 2, 2026, the Company is not in comp…
Why it matters: Management set a year-end breakeven goal. Q3's loss was about $25 million, or about $18 million without proxy costs.
Supportive ifQ4 Adjusted EBITDA loss falls below $18 million. Management remains on track to break even by year-end.
Worry ifQ4 Adjusted EBITDA loss stays near or above $25 million. Or management drops its year-end goal to break even.
Why it matters: Management says the sale could bring $65 million in cash. A delay would leave that cash unavailable for now.
Supportive ifThe Birmingham Bank sale closes by the end of Q1 2027 and Better reports the expected $65 million cash proceeds.
Worry ifThe sale does not close by March 31, 2027, or Better reports proceeds well below $65 million.
Why it matters: Tinman volume grew 64% year over year in Q3 and made up 57% of total loans. More growth would show the platform is gaining use.
Supportive ifQ4 Tinman volume exceeds $790 million and remains above 57% of total loan volume.
Worry ifQ4 Tinman volume falls below $790 million or its share of total volume drops below 57%.
Why it matters: Better says it has put $13.2 million of yearly cuts in place. The remaining $51 million is still a target, not realized savings.
Supportive ifWeekly scorecards confirm at least $45 million in total annual cuts are in place and show lower monthly costs.
Worry ifScorecards show less than $45 million in total cuts, or planned cuts miss their stated timelines.

Less concerning ifNasdaq sets a delisting date or Better reports it has not restored compliance by its stated deadline.
