Fourth Quarter Revenue Growth Driven by Blend Platform Segment
Full Year 2022 Revenue Guidance Reflects Expected 35% Mortgage Industry Volume Decline from Full Year 2021 Level
Blend Labs, Inc. (NYSE: BLND), a leader in cloud banking software, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results. In addition, the company provided its full year and first quarter 2022 revenue guidance on a consolidated basis and for its two reporting segments.
“Blend achieved major milestones in 2021, including our IPO, and a large acquisition for our marketplace offerings. We also grew our mortgage banking market share, multi-product customers and total revenues,” said Nima Ghamsari, Head of Blend. ”As a result, full year Blend Platform revenue grew by 41% from 2020 to 2021, despite a decline in U.S. mortgage industry origination volumes. We also continued to invest in new products to diversify our business into consumer banking products such as home equity, deposit accounts, and personal loans.”
“With rapidly increasing inflation and sharply higher interest rates, leading industry analysts are projecting a sharp decrease in mortgage loan origination volumes in 2022 from historically high levels. This expected 35% decline will clearly create strong headwinds for Blend. Nonetheless, we expect Blend Mortgage Banking will continue to grow market share through 2022. In addition, we expect our Consumer Banking and Marketplace business will show strong revenue growth.”
“As we navigate through this rapid mortgage industry reset, our priorities are to drive customer adoption of our expanding software solutions while prudently managing our costs in line with evolving market realities. Doing this effectively will enable us to create long-term value for our customers and for our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Summary
Fourth quarter revenue totaled $81.0 million.

Mortgage Banking revenue grew by $3.5 million, or 14% year-over-year.

Fourth quarter cost of revenue totaled $46.0 million, an increase of $37.3 million, or 424%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily resulting from the inclusion of $31.9 million in Title365 costs. Blend Platform cost of revenue totaled $14.1 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 61%, primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in personnel-related expenses attributable to increased headcount, a $1.7 million increase in third-party hosting costs and software licenses relating to additional hosting services correlating with increased revenue growth, and a $0.7 million increase in professional and outside services to support our continued growth and expanded operations.

Full Year 2022 Revenue Guidance |
$140-150 |
$90-100 |
$230-250 |
Blend 2022 revenue guidance reflects the following:
- Continued U.S. economic growth and Federal Reserve interest rate and open market policy actions in the context of current market expectations.
- U.S. mortgage market origination volumes declining approximately 35% from their 2021 level, as forecast by Fannie Mae and the Mortgage Bankers Association.
- 2022 Blend Platform segment revenue reflects slightly lower full year Mortgage Banking revenue from full year 2021 levels, driven by the expected decline in U.S. mortgage market origination volumes in 2022. This is expected to be mostly offset by market share gains in the Company’s mortgage banking business.
- 2022 Blend Platform segment revenue reflects over 100% growth in Consumer Banking and Marketplace revenue, including the expected transition of approximately $15.0 million in revenues from the Title365 segment to the Blend Platform segment, as customers transition to the Blend Title solution (a component of Consumer Banking and Marketplace revenue). This transition is anticipated to commence in mid-2022.
First Quarter 2022 Revenue Guidance
First quarter 2022 consolidated revenue is expected to be $63 million to $66 million, reflecting a modest decline in Blend Platform segment revenues from their first quarter 2021 level, and a decline of approximately 20% in the Title365 segment revenues from their fourth quarter 2021 level.

Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “would,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology that concern Blend’s expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which such performance or results will be achieved, if at all.
Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith beliefs and assumptions as of that time with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the possibility that: we fail to retain our existing customers or to acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner; our customers fail to maintain their utilization of our products and services; our relationships with any of our key customers were to be terminated or the level of business with them significantly reduced over time; we are unable to compete in highly competitive markets; we are unable to manage our growth; we are unable to make accurate predictions about our future performance due to our limited operating history in an evolving industry; we are unable to successfully integrate or realize the benefits of our acquisition of Title365; or changes in market interest rates adversely affect our business. Further information on these risks and other factors that could affect our financial results are set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in our Quarterly Report on 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 that will be filed following this press release. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this press release may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Except as required by law, Blend does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), this press release and the accompanying tables contain, and the conference call will contain, non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, and non-GAAP net loss. These non-GAAP financial measures adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation and warrant amortization expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-recurring acquisition-related costs, and non-recurring income tax expenses or benefits related to acquisitions. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing our financial results and believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and trends, in allowing for greater transparency with respect to measures used by our management in their financial and operational decision making, and in comparing our results of operations with other companies in the same industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to help investors understand the operational performance of their businesses. However, it is important to note that the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies in the same industry. In addition, other companies may utilize metrics that are not similar to ours.
The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. There are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures since they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in our financial statements. Please see the reconciliation tables at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. Management encourages investors and others to review Blend’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
We adjust the following items from our non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation and amortization of warrant. We exclude stock-based compensation and amortization of warrant, which are non-cash expenses, from our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding these items provides meaningful supplemental information regarding operational performance. In particular, companies calculate stock-based compensation expense using a variety of valuation methodologies and subjective assumptions, and expense related to stock-based awards can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets. We exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, which is a non-cash expense, from our non-GAAP financial measures. We exclude these amortization expenses because we do not believe these expenses have a direct correlation to the operation of our business.
Acquisition-related costs. We exclude costs related to acquisitions from our non-GAAP financial measures as we do not consider these costs to be related to organic continuing operations of the acquired business or relevant to assessing the long-term performance of the acquired assets. These adjustments allow for more accurate comparisons of the financial results to historical operations and forward looking guidance. These costs include financial advisory, legal, accounting and other transactional costs incurred in connection with acquisition activities, and non-recurring transition and integration costs.
Income taxes related to acquisition. We exclude tax benefits related to acquisitions from our non-GAAP financial measures. These tax benefits realized consist of the change in the valuation allowance resulting from acquisitions.
