Doma’s q3 results continue to outpace mortgage industry; tech-led growth expected to fuel future out-performance despite softening market
San francisco--(business wire)--doma holdings, inc. (nyse: doma) (“doma” or the “company”), a leading force for disruptive change in the real estate industry, today reported quarterly financial results and key operating data for the three and nine months ended september 30, 2021(2). doma’s results demonstrate strong growth that continues to outperform the mortgage industry as a whole, driven by the expansion and continued adoption of its proprietary machine learning technology. because of its continued momentum in the third quarter of 2021 and an accelerating rate of growth in open order volume, doma is now affirming that it expects full year 2021 results to be at or above the high end of its previously stated guidance ranges. “doma’s impressive growth relative to the industry is driven by our unique technology, and we continue to gain momentum,” said max simkoff, founder and ceo of doma. “given our proven ability to grow market share, we will be heavily focused on investing in the extension of our game-changing technology to serve more of the market - specifically across home purchase transactions. as soon as possible, we want prospective homeowners to experience the same value proposition that we’ve been delivering to our enterprise channel: an instant, digital home closing that is vastly more simple and more affordable," mr. simkoff concluded. third quarter 2021 growth drivers continued improvements to the doma intelligence platform helped deliver better customer outcomes through the application of cutting-edge machine learning technology. added important new functionality to doma docs - which is a feature that uses machine intelligence to replace the manual and error-prone process of traditional fee collaboration - that deepens its algorithms to tackle even more complex closing disclosure scenarios and drive better outcomes for doma's largest clients. enhanced the doma connect integration layer to introduce important new integration functionality across several key middleware platforms used by doma's mortgage originator customers, making those connections more seamless and fostering further expansion of wallet share. added important new functionality to doma docs - which is a feature that

doma's mortgage originator customers, making those connections more seamless and fostering further expansion of wallet share. increased orders at the enterprise level, despite a softening mortgage market, reflect confidence in doma's technology by the nation's largest mortgage lenders. total order growth in the third quarter came from both new customers starting to transact as well as increases in wallet share among existing doma enterprise customers, who are among the nation's leading lenders. home purchase transaction volume increased by a healthy 9% over the same period last year, outpacing overall market trends in doma's local channel. top talent from leading global tech companies like amazon, apple, facebook, netflix, logmein, and splunk joined the doma team in the third quarter, in key roles across customer acquisition, account management, fulfillment, software engineering, data science, and product management, helping the company deliver on its fast pace of innovation. “our strong third quarter results are reflective of the increasing demand for our differentiated technology offering, most notably by our largest enterprise clients,” stated noaman ahmad, cfo of doma. “our recent performance and momentum allow us the confidence to invest more aggressively in our product roll-out, particularly as it relates to the accelerated migration of our local purchase business to the doma intelligence platform, which we remain on track to start by year-end. we believe that the acceleration of these investments is worth any short-term trade off in margins that will likely be required to get to larger scale faster." non-gaap financial measures some of the financial information and data contained in this press release, such as retained premiums and fees, adjusted gross profit and adjusted ebitda, have not been prepared in accordance with united states generally accepted accounting principles ("gaap"). retained premiums and fees is defined as revenue less premiums retained by third-party agents. adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit, plus depreciation and amortization. adjusted ebitda is defined as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, covid-related severance costs and change in fair value of warrant and sponsor covered shares liabilities. doma believes that the use of retained premiums and fees, adjusted gross profit and adjusted ebitda provides an additional tool to assess operational performance and trends in, and in comparing doma's financial measures with, other similar companies, many of which present similar non-gaap financial measures to investors. doma’s non-gaap financial measures may be different from non-gaap financial measures used by other companies. the presentation of non-gaap financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with
