Current report

Throughout 2024, the U.S. housing market faced persistent headwinds as elevated mortgage rates, affordability constraints, and supply-demand imbalances weighed on market activity. Mortgage rates remained volatile, with brief periods of relief followed by rate reversions that reinforced sluggish market conditions.

Current report

Housing market activity remained subdued, with 2024 seasonally adjusted annual home sales coming in at just over four million units – well below the decade average of over five million. The ongoing lock-in effect, where homeowners with low fixed-rate mortgages are reluctant to sell, continued to constrain supply, while elevated borrowing costs weighed on buyer affordability. Against this backdrop, delistings – homes removed from the market unsold – continued to climb throughout the year, reflecting a persistent disconnect between seller expectations and buyer willingness to transact.

Current report

By mid-year, month-over-month home price appreciation (“HPA”) had turned negative earlier than in any year in the last decade outside of 2020. A brief period of declining mortgage rates in the fall spurred a temporary uptick in demand and HPA, but as rates rebounded, demand and home price appreciation reverted back to negative territory.

Current report

We continue to operate with a flexible approach, dynamically adjusting pricing strategies to balance growth, margin, and risk. We will continue to monitor macroeconomic signals, and we remain nimble in our decision making so that we can capitalize on shifts in interest rates and market conditions.

Current report

(7)Includes primarily gain on deconsolidation, net, sublease income, impairment of internally developed software projects related to restructuring, and income from equity method investments.

Current report

(Loss) Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

Current report

Revenue decreased by $1.8 billion, or 26%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes during the year ended December 31, 2024. We sold 13,593 homes during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 18,708 homes during the year ended December 31, 2023, representing a decrease of 27%. Revenue per home sold increased 2% between the same periods. The decrease in sales volumes was primarily attributable to proactively slowing inventory acquisitions beginning in the third quarter of 2022 in reaction to volatility in the U.S. housing market coupled with a focus on clearing existing inventory, which had reached peak levels in 2022. The Company entered 2024 with 5,326 homes in inventory as compared to 12,788 homes in inventory at the start of 2023, representing a 58% decrease in homes available for resale.

Current report

Gross profit decreased from $487 million to $433 million and gross margin increased from 7.0% to 8.4% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the same periods, Adjusted Gross Margin increased from 0.8% to 8.4% and Contribution Margin increased from (3.7)% to 4.7%. The decrease in gross profit was attributable to lower sales volumes as discussed above. The increase in gross margin, Adjusted Gross Margin and Contribution Margin reflects relative home price stabilization and higher spreads embedded in our acquisition offers beginning in the third quarter of 2022. As a reminder, Adjusted Gross Margin and Contribution Margin include inventory valuation adjustments recorded in prior periods on homes sold in the current period and exclude inventory valuation adjustments on homes remaining in inventory at the end of the period, which can create significant differences between these metrics and Gross margin. Adjusted Gross Margin and Contribution Margin for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 are inclusive of $455 million and $26 million, respectively, of inventory valuation adjustments recorded in prior periods on homes sold in the current period. Adjusted Gross Margin and Contribution Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further details and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures.

Current report

General and Administrative. General and administrative decreased by $24 million, or 12%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $8 million decrease in depreciation expense as we slowed our pace of fixed assets additions and existing assets became fully depreciated. In addition, headcount expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, decreased $8 million, primarily due to workforce reductions and the transition of certain roles to lower-cost geographies. Rent expense decreased by $3 million, driven by partial terminations of leases and subleases.

Current report

Technology and Development. Technology and development decreased by $26 million, or 16%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $39 million reduction in headcount expenses, including salaries, benefits, and stock-based compensation, resulting from workforce reductions and the transition of certain roles to lower-cost geographies. Additionally, amortization of intangibles from past acquisitions declined by $3 million. These cost reductions were partially offset by a $17 million net increase in expenses related to internally developed software, reflecting lower capitalization of development costs and increased amortization expenses, partially offset by a decrease in impairment expense.

Current report

Restructuring. Restructuring increased by $3 million, or 21%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to the Company’s reduction in force announced on November 7, 2024 as well as the termination of certain non-cancelable leases and consulting fees incurred during the restructuring process.

Current report

(Loss) Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

Current report

Interest expense decreased by $78 million, or 37%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to a significant decrease in average balances in our non-recourse asset-backed debt and a decrease in loan fees as a result of committed debt reductions.

Current report

Other income – net decreased by $43 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily related to a $53 million decrease in interest income due to a reduction in the average cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances and a $7 million unrealized loss versus a $4 million unrealized gain on marketable equity securities during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease was partially offset by the $14 million gain from the deconsolidation of Mainstay. See “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 16. Deconsolidation” for additional information regarding the deconsolidation of Mainstay.

Current report

Income tax expense changed by a nominal amount for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

Current report

In May 2024, the Company entered into an at-the-market equity offering sales agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with Barclays Capital Inc. and Virtu Americas LLC, as sales agents (the "Agents"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through the Agents, shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million. Under the ATM Agreement, the Agents may sell shares by any method deemed to be an “at-the-market offering.” During the year ended December 31, 2024, there was no activity pursuant to the ATM Agreement.

Current report

(1)Represents the principal amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2024. Includes estimated interest payments, calculated using the variable rate in existence at period end over an assumed holding period of 90 days. Borrowing under the senior revolving credit facilities are payable as the related inventory is sold. The payment is expected to be within one year of December 31, 2024.

Previous report

2023 was a year underpinned by macro uncertainty in the housing market, driven by interest rate volatility, which caused 30-year mortgage rates to increase by 170 basis points between February and October. These dynamics resulted in hesitation by both buyers and sellers with overall home sales declining nearly 20% year-over-year. In the first half of 2023, home prices performed better than expected on the back of historically low listing volumes. Against this backdrop of constrained supply, market clearance exceeded levels seen historically over the same time period. In the second half of 2023, the elevated 30-year mortgage rates further depressed buyer demand, amplifying the typical seasonal decline in market clearance rates. The slowing market clearance rates impacted our financial performance for the final quarter of 2023 in the following three ways. First, as market clearance rates slowed, our pace of resales, and therefore revenue, was reduced quarter over quarter. Second, although the impact was tempered by historically low listing volumes, we reduced home-level list prices in order to stay inline with our clearance targets, which flowed through to revenue, gross profit, gross margin and contribution margin. Third, as a result of slower resale clearance rates, some sales from the old book of inventory shifted out of the third quarter of 2023 and continued to be a drag on overall margins as they sold through given their negative margin profile.

Previous report

As we look ahead, the real-time metrics we track are continuing to show constrained supply and demand, which is resulting in home price stability. Several macroeconomic indicators have been trending favorably, including a healthy U.S. labor market and moderating inflation. However, given continued interest rate volatility, we remain focused on preserving flexibility in setting spreads to operate against a range of macroeconomic outcomes in 2024.

Previous report

Our performance in 2023 reflects the sharp transition in the housing market from peak levels earlier in 2022 to lower transaction velocity and home price appreciation well beyond typical seasonal trends. Given these macroeconomic pressures, we have been focused on managing overall inventory health and risk. We have been particularly focused on homes that we acquired based on offers made in the first half of 2022 and prior (“old book”) and we have continued to adjust down listed prices on our inventory to stay in-line with market sell-through rates and drive resale clearance. As of December 31, 2023, we had $34 million of old book homes in inventory, down 99% from $3.5 billion at December 31, 2022. We also increased the spreads embedded in our offers and reduced our marketing investment, which slowed our acquisition pacing. (Spreads are defined as total discount to our home valuation at time of offer less than Opendoor service fee of 5%.) We expect to achieve positive gross margins and contribution margins on acquisitions arising from offers made in the second half of 2022 onward once fully sold through, and we expect to resume a higher acquisition pace as the housing market stabilizes.

Previous report

Related primarily to the sharp transition in the housing market, we recorded inventory valuation adjustments of $737 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. In 2023, resale clearance is trending better than the back half of 2022 and a lack of supply of new listings has helped to stabilize home prices. As such, inventory valuation adjustments of $65 million recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023 were significantly lower than 2022.

Previous report

(7)Includes primarily gain or loss on the sale of available for sale securities, sublease income, income from equity method investments, and gain on lease termination.

Previous report

Warrant fair value adjustment consists of unrealized and realized gains and losses as a result of marking our warrants to fair value at the end of each reporting period and subsequent settlement through exercise of warrants to equity.

Previous report

Revenue increased by $7.5 billion, or 94%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes as well as higher revenue per home. We sold 39,183 homes during the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to 21,725 homes during the year ended December 31, 2021, representing an increase of 80%. Revenue per home sold increased 8% between periods due to inventory mix, buybox expansion and home price appreciation.

Previous report

Cost of revenue increased by $7.6 billion, or 104%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes and a 13% increase in cost of revenue per home, excluding inventory valuation adjustments, as a result of inventory mix, buybox expansion, and home price appreciation at the time of inventory acquisition. In addition, we recorded $458 million of inventory valuation adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2022 to adjust the cost basis of homes remaining in inventory at December 31, 2022 to their net realizable value as compared to $39 million of inventory valuation adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Previous report

Gross profit decreased from $730 million to $667 million and gross margin decreased from 9.1% to 4.3% for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the same periods, Adjusted Gross Margin decreased from 9.6% to 7.0%. The decrease in gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin reflects our decision to prioritize risk management and resale clearance in the second half of 2022 at the expense of resale margin performance. As a result of the fast downturn in the housing market due to macroeconomic conditions, market conditions at the time of sale were weaker than we believed they would be at the time of pricing our inventory acquisitions. In addition, gross margin and Adjusted Gross Margin for the year ended December 31, 2021 benefited from a fresh book of inventory after we sold down our inventory in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and more favorable macroeconomic conditions as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Contribution Margin decreased from 6.5% to 3.4% for the same periods, due to the reasons noted above as well as due to increased direct selling and holding costs. Contribution Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further details and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measure.

Previous report

General and Administrative. General and administrative decreased by $274 million, or 44%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to $354 million reduction in stock-based compensation due to the expense recognition of certain performance awards during the year ended December 31, 2021 following the consummation of the Business Combination in December 2020, the expense recognition of certain RSUs upon the fulfillment of the liquidity event vesting condition satisfied by the February 2021 Offering and the reversal of expense in December 2022 related to the forfeiture of certain executive performance awards. The reduction in stock-based compensation was partially offset by a $46 million legal contingency accrual and related expenses recorded during the year ended December 31, 2022 in connection with the FTC consent order finalized in October 2022. Headcount expenses, including salaries and benefits increased $21 million consistent with the increase in headcount.

Previous report

Technology and Development. Technology and development increased by $35 million, or 26%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $26 million increase in headcount expenses, including salaries and benefits, consistent with the increase in headcount.

Previous report

Restructuring. Restructuring increased by $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The restructuring expenses recorded in the year ended December 31, 2022, represented severance, and other termination benefits for employees whose roles were eliminated, and other restructuring costs related to winding down the Company’s mortgage lending and brokerage services.

Previous report

Warrant fair value adjustment decreased by $12 million, or 100%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The gain recorded in the year ended December 31, 2021, was attributable to a decrease in the fair value of the Sponsor Warrants between the time of the Business Combination and the completion of their redemption in July 2021.

Previous report

Loss on extinguishment of debt increased by $25 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The loss on extinguishment of debt of $25 million in December 31, 2022 resulted from the Company’s voluntary partial early repayment of an asset-backed mezzanine term debt facility.

Previous report

Interest expense increased by $242 million, or 169%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in the average outstanding balances of our asset-backed senior debt facilities and mezzanine term debt facilities, which is consistent with our increase in inventory over the same periods. In addition, interest expense from our asset-backed senior revolving credit facilities, which bear interest at a floating reference rate based on LIBOR or SOFR, has increased due to higher reference rates during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

Previous report

Other (loss) income – net decreased by $48 million, or 126%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily related to the fair value adjustments recorded on marketable equity securities. The Company recorded a $35 million gain in 2021 when a company in which we invested went public and then recorded a $35 million loss in 2022 when the company’s stock price declined. The fair value loss recorded in 2022 is offset by a $20 million increase in interest income due to higher interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. During 2022, the terms of certain of our asset-backed senior revolving credit facilities were modified to replace LIBOR-based floating reference rates with SOFR-based floating reference rates. As of December 31, 2022, all such floating reference rates in our asset-backed senior revolving credit facilities were based on SOFR.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

Previous report

Our stock-based awards include stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), shares of restricted stock (“Restricted Shares”), and shares granted under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

Previous report

We recognize the cost of stock option awards granted to employees and directors based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. Cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. We elected to recognize the effect of forfeitures in the period that they occur. We determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which is impacted by the following assumptions:

Previous report

•Expected Term. We use the simplified method when calculating the expected term due to insufficient historical exercise data. Management elected to use the simplified method instead of historical experience due to a lack of relevant historical data resulting from changes in option vesting schedules and changes in the pool of employees receiving option grants.

Previous report

•Expected Volatility. As our shares were not actively traded on Nasdaq until December 2020, the volatility used for stock options granted prior to the Company becoming listed is based on a benchmark of comparable companies within the automotive sales industry and certain real estate technology companies. For stock options granted after the Company became listed, we use the implied volatility from traded Opendoor call options.

Previous report

•Expected Dividend Yield. The dividend rate used is zero as we have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

Previous report

•Risk-Free Interest Rate. The interest rates used are based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.

Previous report

We evaluate the assumptions used to value our share-based awards on each grant date. Following the Company’s common stock being listed on Nasdaq, the fair value of our stock has been determined based on the quoted market price. Prior to our common stock being listed on Nasdaq, the grant date fair value of our common stock was determined with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation specialist. The grant date fair value of our common stock was determined using valuation methodologies which utilize certain assumptions, including probability weighting of events, volatility, time to liquidation, a risk-free interest rate, and an assumption for a discount for lack of marketability.

Previous report

Prior to our common stock being listed on Nasdaq, we determined that an Option Pricing Model (“OPM”) was the most appropriate method for allocating our enterprise value to determine the estimated fair value of our common stock. Application of the OPM involves the use of estimates, judgment, and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding our expected future revenue, expenses and cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable companies, and the probability of future events. Specifically, we have historically used the OPM back solve analysis in combination with the market comparables approach to estimate the fair value of our common stock. OPM back solve analysis derives the implied equity value for one type of equity security from a contemporaneous transaction involving another type of security; we utilized the OPM back solve analysis with respect to our convertible preferred stock to derive a value of our common stock. In certain periods where there is not a contemporaneous transaction, we utilized the market comparables approach to estimate an enterprise equity valuation which is then allocated using OPM to determine the common stock value.

Previous report

The grant date fair value calculated using the methodology discussed above is also utilized with respect to RSUs with performance and service conditions to vest and restricted shares. For RSUs with a performance condition based on a liquidity event, as well as a service condition to vest, no compensation expense is recognized until the performance condition has been satisfied. Subsequent to the liquidity event, compensation expense is recognized to the extent the requisite service period has been completed and compensation expense thereafter is recognized on an accelerated attribution method. Under the accelerated attribution method, compensation expense is recognized over the remaining requisite service period for each service condition tranche as though each tranche is, in substance, a separate award. In February 2021, the Company completed an underwritten public offering, which met the liquidity event vesting condition and triggered the recognition of compensation expense for RSUs for which the time-based vesting condition had been satisfied or partially satisfied. For further information on the February 2021 underwritten public offering, see “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 11. Shareholders’ Equity”.

Previous report

We determined the grant date fair value of RSUs with market-based vesting conditions by using Monte Carlo simulations. The assumptions for stock price volatility, contractual term, dividend yield, and stock price used in the Monte Carlo simulations are determined using the same methodology as described above. The exception is that with respect to the stock price volatility used for the Monte Carlo simulations, the Company took into consideration the capital structure of each comparable company comprising the benchmark to isolate each comparable company’s equity volatility without the effect of leverage and then re-levered using our capital structure. If we consider the performance conditions probable to be satisfied, we recognize the cost of these RSUs by treating each market-based condition as an unit of account and recognizing the cost over the requisite service period with respect to each unit. We determine the requisite service period by comparing the derived service period to achieve the market-based condition and the explicit service-based period, if any, using the longer of the two service periods as the requisite service period.

Previous report

The assumptions underlying these valuations represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors or expected outcomes change and we use significantly different assumptions or estimates, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different. For more detailed information about our historical and outstanding grants and our valuation of our share-based compensation and awards, see “Part II – Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 12. Share-Based Awards”.

We are steadily growing our reach via our partnership channels with homebuilders, agents, and online real estate platforms. We have relationships with the three largest online real estate platforms, Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com, which collectively reach millions of unique monthly visitors. We launched our partnership agreement with Zillow, Inc. in early 2023, allowing home sellers on the Zillow, Inc. platform to request an offer directly from Opendoor, and creating an additional channel for us to drive brand awareness and acquire customers. As of December 31, 2023, our partnership was live in 45 markets. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we also announced a new partnership agreement with eXp Realty, the largest independent real estate company in the world. This agreement enables eXp’s agents to request a cash offer on qualifying properties on behalf of their clients directly within their eXp dashboard and present the Opendoor offer alongside the option of listing the client’s home on the market.

A continued source of growth is re-engagement with our base of registered sellers, meaning sellers that have received an offer from Opendoor but have not yet sold their home. In the last ten years, we have sent millions of offers and, while not everyone is ready to act when they request an offer, we treat everyone as a potential future seller. We perpetually iterate on our reengagement strategies and believe that our registered customer base will continue to be an important source of home acquisition volumes.

Previous wording

Due to the deteriorating macro environment in 2022 and 2023, we slowed down our new market expansion plans. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we stopped acquiring inventory in, and operationally supporting, our markets in Boise, Idaho, Reno, Nevada and Asheville, North Carolina. These three markets are below the scale required for us to operate in a cost-effective manner and are not sufficiently close to another market to leverage its operations. In total, these three markets represented less than 1% of total homes sold in 2023.

Current wording

Due to the deteriorating macro environment in 2022, 2023, and 2024, we paused our new market expansion plans and are continually assessing areas within our existing markets to expand.

Previous wording

•Expansion of our listing and marketplace product offerings, which will reduce our inventory exposure and capital intensity, and eliminate the holding and selling costs associated with taking ownership of the home.

Effectively managing our overall inventory position and balancing growth, margin, and risk are critical to our financial performance. Since our inception, we have prioritized investment in our pricing capabilities across our home acquisition processes and our forecasting and resale systems, and will continue to do so. As part of our overall risk management framework, we consider both individual market and aggregate portfolio exposures. We typically seek to maximize the resale margin performance of our inventory in the context of managing overall risk and inventory health through monitoring sell-through rates, holding periods, and portfolio aging.

We also adjust the spreads embedded in our offers to respond to current market conditions, both at a macro and local level. (Spreads are defined as total discount to our home valuation at time of offer less the Opendoor service fee of 5%.)

Previous wording

As one key measure of inventory management performance, we evaluate our portfolio metrics relative to the broader market (as observed on the multiple listing services (“MLS”)). One such metric is our percentage of homes “on the market” for greater than 120 days as measured from initial listing date. As of December 31, 2023, such homes represented 18% of our portfolio, compared to 21% for the broader market when filtered for the types of homes we are able to underwrite and acquire in a given market based on characteristics such as price range, home type, home location, year built and lot size (which we refer to as our “buybox”).

One such metric is our percentage of homes “on the market” for greater than 120 days as measured from initial listing date. As of December 31, 2024, such homes represented 46% of our portfolio, compared to 25% for the broader market when filtered for the types of homes we are able to underwrite and acquire based on characteristics such as market, price range, home type, home location, year built and lot size (which we refer to as our “buybox”). This metric fluctuates based on seasonal factors, market dynamics, and our resale strategies. In the fourth quarter, we implemented fewer home-level price reductions as the market slowed, opting not to sell inventory into a low-demand environment. Meanwhile, delistings continued to rise, with over one in four home sellers removing their listings from the MLS rather than going into contract. The combination of slower price reductions and rising delistings resulted in longer listing times compared to market participants who took a more aggressive pricing approach or were willing to delist their homes from the market. Additionally, beginning in mid-May, we intentionally slowed our home acquisition pace in response to our risk management objectives and broader macroeconomic uncertainty. When newly acquired homes represent a smaller proportion of our overall inventory, average days on market for our portfolio generally increases.

The residential real estate market is seasonal, with greater demand and home price appreciation from home buyers in the spring and summer, and typically weaker demand and lower home price appreciation in late fall and winter. In general, we expect our financial results and working capital requirements to reflect seasonal variations over time. However, other factors, including growth, market expansion and changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as rising inflation and interest rate increases as recently observed, have obscured the impact of seasonality in our historical financials and we expect may continue to do so.

We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit under GAAP adjusted for (1) inventory valuation adjustment in the current period and (2) inventory valuation adjustment in prior periods. Inventory valuation adjustment in the current period is calculated by adding back the inventory valuation adjustments recorded during the period on homes that remain in inventory at period end. Inventory valuation adjustment in prior periods is calculated by subtracting the inventory valuation adjustments recorded in prior periods on homes sold in the current period. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Real Estate Inventory” for detailed discussion of inventory valuation adjustment.

We calculate Adjusted Net Loss as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses of stock-based compensation, equity securities fair value adjustment, warrant fair value adjustment, and intangibles amortization expense. It excludes expenses that are not directly related to our revenue-generating operations such as restructuring and legal contingency accruals. It excludes (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt as these expenses or gains were incurred as a result of decisions made by management to repay portions of our outstanding credit facilities and the 0.25% convertible senior notes due in 2026 (the "2026 Notes") early; these expenses are not reflective of ongoing operating results and vary in frequency and amount. It also excludes non-recurring payroll tax on initial RSU release, and goodwill impairment. Adjusted Net Loss also aligns the timing of inventory valuation adjustments recorded under GAAP to the period in which the related revenue is recorded in order to improve the comparability of this measure to our non-GAAP financial measures of unit economics, as described above. Our calculation of Adjusted Net Loss does not currently include the tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments because our taxes and such tax effects have not been material to date.

Sales, Marketing and Operations. Sales, marketing and operations increased by $462 million, or 85%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $219 million increase in resale transaction costs and broker commissions, consistent with the 94% increase in revenue. Property holding costs increased by $91 million, consistent with increased inventory levels and longer inventory holding periods compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 when we held a fresh book of inventory. Advertising expense increased by $77 million, from $123 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $200 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 as we increased marketing to drive acquisition volumes in both existing and new markets.

In addition, during the same period, headcount expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation, decreased $21 million, primarily due to workforce reductions and the transition of certain roles to lower-cost geographies. Advertising expense increased by $11 million, from $75 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $86 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

For the same periods, Adjusted Gross Margin, which aligns the timing of inventory valuation adjustments to the period in which the home is sold, decreased from 7.0% to 0.8%. The decrease in Adjusted Gross Margin reflects the downturn in the U.S. housing market in the second half of 2022, resulting in market conditions at the time of resale to be weaker than we believed they would be at the time of pricing our inventory acquisitions. In addition, we prioritized risk management and resale clearance at the expense of resale margin performance in order to clear the old book inventory, which composed a majority of the resale cohort for the year ended December 31, 2023. Contribution Margin decreased from 3.4% to (3.7)% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively, due to the reasons noted above as well as increased holding costs due to longer average inventory holding periods. Contribution Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin are non-GAAP financial measures. See “—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for further details and a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to their nearest comparable GAAP measures.

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically consisted of cash generated from our operations and from financing activities. As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion, restricted cash of $541 million, and marketable securities of $69 million. The decline in our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance of $213 million as compared to December 31, 2022 resulted from a combination of operating losses and the partial repurchase of our 2026 Notes, offset by capital released as a result of reduced inventory levels. The decrease in our restricted cash balance of $113 million as compared to December 31, 2022 was largely a result of lower resale activity and lower outstanding balances in our term debt facilities in December 2023 as compared to December 2022.

Current report — wording carried from elsewhere

Real estate inventory is reviewed for valuation adjustments on a quarterly basis. If the carrying amount for a given home is not expected to be recovered, an inventory valuation adjustment is recorded to cost of revenue and the home’s carrying value is adjusted to its net realizable value. Inventory valuation adjustments are not offset by any expected gains and are not reversed or adjusted should the expected net realizable value subsequently increase. We recorded inventory valuation adjustments of $57 million and $65 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Real Estate Inventory” for a detailed discussion of inventory valuation adjustments.

This gain was partially offset by expenses related to partial debt extinguishments during the year ended December 31, 2023.
