Management Commentary
We exceeded the high end of our outlook for acquisitions, revenue, Contribution Margin, and Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter.
The successful extension of these credit facilities is a testament to the ongoing support and confidence of our capital partners and positions us well to continue executing on our business plans.
We are observing a particularly slow start to the year, with signs of a worsening macro environment compared to 2024.
Given adjustments to our marketing strategy, coupled with recent increases in spreads given the challenging macro environment, we expect to see a sequential decline in acquisitions in the second quarter of this year.
Overall Sentiment: Cautiously optimistic, with a focus on managing costs, optimizing operations, and navigating a challenging housing market.
