William Nasta's questions to Finance of America Companies Inc (FOA) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
William Nasta, on behalf of Doug Harter at UBS, asked about the impact of recent interest rate volatility on Q2 volumes and the company's forward-looking expense outlook.
Answer
CEO Graham Fleming stated that April 2025 was the company's strongest month for submissions and funded volume in the last two years. CFO Matthew Engel added that while rates are volatile, they have not yet seen a significant impact on volume. Regarding expenses, Engel explained that the fixed cost base is relatively stable, though they continue to find savings opportunities as contracts renew. He affirmed the platform can handle significantly more production without major pressure on fixed costs, though variable expenses would rise with volume.
