Access earnings results, analyst expectations, report, slides, earnings call, and transcript.
Overview
The earnings call presents a mixed picture. While there are positive elements such as improved EBITDA, cost efficiency, and strategic acquisition increases, these are offset by ongoing net losses, revenue decline, and macroeconomic pressures. The Q&A session reveals management's cautious optimism but also highlights uncertainties, particularly regarding financial impacts from recent changes. The lack of a share repurchase program and absence of clear guidance further contribute to a neutral outlook. Given these factors, the stock price is likely to remain stable within a narrow range over the next two weeks.

Key Q&A
Q:Given the seasonality of the industry, should we assume that the bulk of the acquisitions will happen early in 2Q, slow down into 3Q, and then pick back up in 4Q?
A:Yes, we expect seasonality to impact volumes, but we are ramping up acquisitions and expect increased volumes as we move through the year.
Q:Does your acceleration comment indicate you feel the current environment is stable for the remainder of '25?
A:We are seeing more opportunities to buy homes, but there is still volatility in the market.
Q:Can you talk more about the changes made in April and their financial impact?
A:We expect to have more information on cost outs next quarter, but we are not ready to discuss the magnitude of changes.
Q:What are you seeing in terms of supply/demand across your key markets?
A:We see active inventory increasing, with many homes and not enough buyers, leading us to be selective in our acquisitions.
Q:Is the 1,000 homes per quarter target enough to support cash flow breakeven?
A:Yes, we believe that 1,000 homes per quarter, along with other dynamics, will lead to EBITDA and cash flow breakeven.
Q:What are the biggest contributors to the 40% of contribution margin from asset-light services?
A:We are developing a plan to increase cost cuts and shift operations, but we are not prepared to give more specifics yet.
Q:How are you making the inspection process faster and more efficient?
A:We are allowing sellers to schedule inspections at their convenience and leveraging internal and external talent to meet their needs.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided giving a direct answer regarding the magnitude of financial impacts from changes made in April and did not provide specific guidance on contribution margin percentages.
