loanDepot Expands equityFREEDOM Portfolio with 10- and 30-Year Home Equity Loan Terms loanDepot, Inc. has expanded its equityFREEDOM portfolio to provide nearly 50 million American homeowners with access to their tappable home equity. The expansion adds 10- and 30-year fixed-term options to the Company's existing 20-year fixed-rate home equity loan, complementing its first- and second-lien home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). With 75% of existing mortgages carrying rates below five%,2 homeowners are reluctant to sacrifice their current mortgage to move or refinance. These home equity loan term options provide additional ways for homeowners to leverage this powerful financial tool to lower borrowing costs without affecting their current mortgage rate. American homeowners, who are carrying a record $35 trillion in home equity,3 can use their home equity wisely for large expenses such as home renovations, college tuition, or to consolidate high interest credit card debt. Access to home equity is one of the most significant benefits of homeownership, as it can lower the cost of borrowing for large expenses. And, in many cases, the interest may be tax deductible. The equityFREEDOM application takes just minutes. loanDepot's home equity loan lets customers access the equity in their homes in a lump sum in one of three, fully amortizing loan terms while the HELOC offers flexible terms including a three-year draw period, and, in most states, a 10-year interest-only payment period followed by a 20-year amortizing repayment term. Each product allows homeowners to borrow up to $400,000, based on their credit profile and their home's combined loan-to-value ratio (CLTV). There are no prepayment penalties and, in many cases, borrowers may not need a new home appraisal. Anuncio • Jan 11

A first-lien HELOC is for borrowers who don’t have an existing mortgage on their house. The equityFREEDOM First-Lien HELOC allows such borrowers to access the equity in their homes with flexible terms which include a three-year draw period, and, in most states, a 10-year interest-only payment period followed by a 20-year amortizing repayment term. As part of its phased national roll out, loanDepot’s equityFREEDOM First-Lien HELOC is available now in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, New Jersey and New Mexico, and will be introduced in additional states across the country by late 2024.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 55% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 55% per year over the past 5 years.
