Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Blend Labs, Inc. (the “Company,” “Blend,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated on April 17, 2012. The Company offers a cloud-based software platform for financial services firms that is designed to power the end-to-end consumer journey for banking products. The Company’s solutions make the journey from application to close fast, simple, and transparent for consumers, while helping financial services firms increase productivity, deepen customer relationships, and deliver exceptional consumer experiences. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Blend Labs, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. Noncontrolling interest represents the minority stockholder’s share of the net income or loss and equity in a consolidated subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Changes in Financial Statement Presentation, Revenue Disaggregation and Segment Composition In 2023, the Company changed the presentation of revenue and cost of revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), by disaggregating each caption into the categories of software platform, professional services, and title, in order to provide the financial statement users with greater visibility into the composition of these accounts. In 2023, the Company changed its reporting segments to align with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews financial information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. As the result of this change, the Company’s digitally-enabled title component (previously referred to as “software-enabled” title component) was reclassified from the Blend Platform segment to Title segment (previously referred to as “Title365” segment). In 2023, the Company changed the presentation of its disaggregated revenue within the notes to the consolidated financial statements, to align with the change in how the CODM reviews financial information. This change was driven by the introduction of Blend Builder, which gives customers the ability to build custom solutions or configure workflows with pre-built solutions such as Instant Home Equity, Deposit Accounts, Credit Cards, and others. Within the new disaggregation, Mortgage Suite revenue represents revenue related to mortgage transactions processed through the Company’s software platform, ancillary product revenue related to mortgage transactions, and marketplace revenue (property and casualty insurance). Consumer Banking Suite revenue represents revenue related to the Company’s consumer banking products including personal loans, credit cards, deposit accounts, and home equity, including ancillary product revenue related to consumer banking transactions. Professional Services revenue represents revenue related to the deployment of the Company’s software platform, client support and consulting services. Title revenue represents revenue related to title (traditional and digitally-enabled), escrow and other closing and settlement services provided by the Title segment. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Reclassification Certain prior periods amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of variable consideration, evaluation of contingencies, determination of the incremental borrowing rates used in calculations of lease liabilities, determination of fair values of stock-based compensation, determination of fair value of marketable securities, determination of the fair value of each of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Haveli Warrant, determination of fair values of assets transferred and performance obligations committed to under the strategic partnership agreement, assessment of expected credit losses on notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of acquired intangible assets, valuation of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, determination of useful lives of tangible and intangible assets and capitalized internal-use software development costs, assessment of impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of equity securities without readily determinable fair value. Risks and Uncertainties The Company has been and may continue to be affected by various macroeconomic factors, including interest rate environment, housing affordability, and worldwide political and economic conditions. The global financial markets have recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, rising interest rates, inflation, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. The real estate environment, including interest rates and the general economic environment, typically impacts the demand for mortgage and mortgage related products. Increases in interest rates due to efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”) to manage rising inflation, combined with ongoing supply constraints, have resulted in a decline in mortgage origination activity. The demand for mortgage and mortgage related products continues to be sensitive to these factors, and any material changes in Federal Reserve policy, interest rates or housing supply are expected to impact overall origination activity levels during 2025. The Company’s operations are principally funded by available liquidity from cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company has incurred net losses in each period since inception, and its limited operating history in an evolving industry makes it difficult to accurately forecast the impact of macroeconomic or other external factors on its business and may increase the risk that the Company may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future, or otherwise suffers adverse impacts on its operational and financial results.

The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the exposure to credit risk is not significant. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash, money market accounts, and highly liquid investments with original maturities less than 90 days. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the investments.

Restricted Cash

The Company has classified cash that is not available for use in its operations as restricted cash. Restricted cash consists primarily of collateral for letters of credit related to security deposits for the Company’s office facility lease arrangements and collateral for surety bonds related to the Title segment. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had restricted cash of $7.3 million, of which $5.0 million was presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.3 million was presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had restricted cash of $7.3 million, all of which was presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Trade and Other Receivables and Credit Loss Reserves

The Company reports trade and other receivables net of the allowance for credit losses, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. ASC 326 requires an entity to recognize an allowance that reflects the entity’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument. The Company’s estimate of expected credit losses is determined based on expected lifetime loss rates calculated from historical data and adjusted for the impact of current and future conditions, such as the age of outstanding receivables, historical payment patterns, any known or expected changes to the customers’ ability to fulfill their payment obligations, or assessment of broader economic conditions that may impact the customers’ ability to pay the outstanding balances. As of each of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the reserve for expected credit losses was immaterial. The provision for expected credit losses and the uncollectible portion of the receivables written off against reserve for expected credit losses were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist primarily of U.S. treasury and agency securities, commercial paper, and corporate debt securities. The Company’s policy requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification at each balance sheet date. The Company has classified its investments as current based on the nature of the investments and their availability for use in current operations.

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income until realized. Fair value is determined based on quoted market rates when observable or utilizing data points that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of the excess, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on securities are recognized in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and any remaining unrealized losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. For the purposes of computing realized and unrealized gains and losses, the cost of securities is based on the specific-identification method. Interest on securities classified as available for sale is included as a component of investment income within other income (expense), net. The Company does not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable and recognizes interest receivable write offs as a reversal of interest income.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Computer and software			3 years
Furniture and fixtures			5 years
Leasehold improvements			Shorter of useful life or lease term

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are evaluated to determine whether they are capitalizable or should be expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment are recognized in the period when the assets are sold or disposed of and the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from their respective accounts.

Capitalized Internal-Use Software

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in the development of its platform and product offerings when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project, and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These capitalized costs include personnel and related expenses, including stock-based compensation, for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases and amortization commences once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred for significant upgrades and enhancements to the existing software are capitalized, while the costs incurred for minor modifications, as well as training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The capitalized internal-use software development

costs are reported in property and equipment, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not transfer ownership of its software, license, or lease the software to third parties. Capitalized internal-use software development costs are amortized using the straight-line method through cost of revenue over an estimated useful life of the software, as the straight-line recognition method best approximates the manner in which the expected benefit will be derived as follows:


Application			3 years
Integration			4 years
Platform			5 years

Leases

The Company measures lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The lease liability also includes expected renewal or termination options, if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company measures right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for (i) payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, (ii) initial direct costs the Company incurs and (iii) tenant incentives under the lease. The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. The incremental borrowing rate is a fully collateralized rate that considers the Company’s credit rating, market conditions, and the term of the lease. The Company accounts for all components in a lease arrangement as a single combined lease component and begins to recognize lease expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company. For short-term leases, the Company records rent expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the lease term and records variable lease payments as incurred. The Company has no finance leases.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and capitalized software development costs, whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of the asset group to which the assets relate. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

The Company capitalizes certain implementation costs incurred during the application development stage under cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The capitalized costs are presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and expensed over the term of the related hosting arrangement service period.

Investment in Non-Marketable Equity Securities

Investment in non-marketable equity securities without readily determinable fair values is recorded at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $4.4 million gain as the result of an adjustment to the carrying value of the non-marketable security to reflect observable price changes. The Company determined the adjustment by measuring the security at fair value using the option pricing model (“OPM”) as of the date the observable transaction occurred. Observable transactions, such as the issuance of new equity by an investee, are indicators of investee enterprise value and are used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investment in the equity security. An OPM is utilized to allocate value to the various classes of securities of the investee, including classes owned by the Company. Such information, available to the Company from the investee entity, is supplemented with the Company’s estimates such as volatility, expected time to liquidity and the rights and obligations of the securities the Company holds. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Company’s non-marketable equity security are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 6, Significant Balance Sheet Components, for further information. There were no observable price changes for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a $2.9 million gain as the result of an adjustment to the carrying value of the non-marketable security to reflect observable price changes.

At each reporting date, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to evaluate the investment for impairment. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced to its fair value. Any adjustments to carrying value based on observable price changes and impairment charges are recorded in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the investment is presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Investment in Notes Receivable

Investment in notes receivable represents an investment in a privately-held company via convertible promissory notes that are accounted for under ASC 310, Receivables, at cost basis, less impairment. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates the collectability of the notes receivable in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The notes receivable are presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6, Significant Balance Sheet Components, for further information.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value, which is based on best estimates and assumptions as of the acquisition date. Such estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Goodwill is recognized to the extent by which the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business exceeds the recognized basis of the identifiable assets acquired, net of assumed liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations of the acquired business are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the aggregate fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable.

Acquired intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Determination of the fair value of the acquired customer relationships and licenses involves significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue forecasts, discount rates, customer attrition rates, and replacement costs. Determination of estimated useful lives of intangible assets requires significant judgment, and the Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets may warrant revision. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Due to a decline in economic and market conditions in 2022, the Company determined that triggering events that indicate the assets should be evaluated for impairment occurred and performed a quantitative impairment analysis, which resulted in a full impairment of goodwill and the acquired customer relationship intangible assets. Refer to Note 5, Intangible Assets, for further information.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company’s 90.1% ownership of Title365 results in recognition of 9.9% noncontrolling interest, which represents the minority stockholder’s share of the net income and equity in Title365. The Title365 stockholders agreement includes a provision whereby the Company has a call option to purchase the 9.9% noncontrolling interest at a purchase price equal to the greater of (1) $49.5 million plus an amount of interest calculated using an interest rate of 5.0% per annum compounding annually; or (2) 4.4 multiplied by the trailing 12-month EBITDA multiplied by the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage (the “Title365 Call Option”). The Title365 Call Option became exercisable on June 30, 2023. The noncontrolling interest holder also holds an option to compel the Company to purchase the remaining 9.9% noncontrolling interest at a price calculated in the same manner as the Title365 Call Option (the “Title365 Put Option”). The Title365 Put Option is exercisable beginning 5 years following the acquisition closing date. Neither the Title365 Call Option nor the Title365 Put Option have an expiration date. However, pursuant to the Title365 stockholders agreement, the Company also has certain bring-along rights that it can exercise under certain circumstances, which may result in the Title365 Put Option being extinguished. As the Title365 Put Option is not solely within the Company’s control, the Company classified this interest as redeemable noncontrolling interest (“RNCI”) within the mezzanine equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. The RNCI is accreted to the redemption value under the interest method from the acquisition date through the date the Title365 Put Option becomes exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the RNCI is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the RNCI's share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its accreted redemption value. The changes in the redemption amount are recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital. For each reporting period, the entire periodic change in the redemption amount is reflected in the computation of net loss per share under the two-class method as being akin to a dividend. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the redemption amount of the Title365 Put Option as if it was currently redeemable was $58.7 million and $55.9 million, respectively.

Series A Preferred Stock

On April 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Haveli Brooks Aggregator, L.P. (“Haveli”) and issued 150,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity due to the redemption features that are not solely within the Company’s control. The Series A Preferred Stock is accreted to its maximum redemption value over the seven year term, using the effective interest method. The increases in the redemption amount are recorded with corresponding adjustments against additional paid-in capital, in the absence of retained earnings. For each reporting period, the entire periodic change in the redemption amount is reflected in the computation of net loss per share under the two-class method as being akin to a dividend, by reducing the income (or increasing the loss) attributable to common stockholders. The Series A Preferred Stock is a participating security for purposes of applying the two-class method when calculating earnings per share in periods of net income. Refer to Note 15, Net Loss per Share, for further information.

Debt and Debt Issuance Costs

The carrying value of the Company’s term loan is presented net of debt issuance costs and discount relating to the issuance of preferred stock warrant. These costs are amortized as a non-cash component of interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the loan. Unamortized debt issuance costs that exist upon the extinguishment of debt are expensed proportionally to the amount of debt extinguished and the resulting loss on extinguishment is presented within other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). On April 29, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company paid approximately $146.1 million to repay all amounts outstanding and payable under the Credit Agreement, including the exit fee of $4.5 million, and terminated the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9, Debt Financing, for further information.

Segment Information

The Company’s operating segments are defined in a manner consistent with how the Company manages its operations and how the CODM evaluates the results and allocates the Company’s resources.

The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments: Blend Platform and Title. In March 2023, the Company introduced Blend Builder, which gives customers the ability to easily configure or build custom workflows from a prebuilt set of components. In connection with this development, the Company changed the reporting segments, so that the composition of the Title segment included the Company’s digitally-enabled title component. This segment reporting change reflects a corresponding change in how the CODM reviews financial information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. The comparative prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Revenue Recognition

Overview

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires the Company to recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services. If consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, for example, overage fees, credits, price concessions or incentives, the Company includes an estimate of the amount it expects to receive only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

The Company determines the amount of revenue to be recognized through the application of the following five-step model:

•Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer — A contract with a customer exists when (i) the Company enters into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance, and (iii) it is determined that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration when it is due.

•Identification of the performance obligations in the contract — Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the services either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct within the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the services is separately identifiable from the other promises in the contract. To the extent that a contract includes multiple promised services, the Company applies judgment to determine whether promised services are capable of being distinct and distinct within the context of the contract. If these criteria are not met, the promised services are accounted for as a combined performance obligation. The Company has concluded that promised services included in its contracts with multiple performance obligations are distinct.

•Determination of the transaction price — The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring services to the customer. The Company estimates and includes variable consideration in the transaction price at contract inception to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. In estimating variable consideration in subscription arrangements, the Company considers historical experience and other external factors that may impact the expectation of future completed transactions beyond a customer’s contracted minimum number of completed transactions. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the expected overage fees, if any, that will be earned for the duration of the contract term. Revenue is presented net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities.

•Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract — The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The SSP is the price at which the Company would sell a promised service separately to a customer. In instances where the Company does not sell or price a service separately, the Company estimates the SSP by considering available information such as market conditions, internally approved pricing guidelines, and the underlying cost of delivering the performance obligation. Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation.

•Recognition of revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied — For each performance obligation identified, the Company determines at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time or at a point in time.

Blend Platform

The Company delivers its cloud-based software platform as a service. The Company’s arrangements do not provide the customers with a contractual right to take possession of the Company’s cloud-based software products at any point in time.

In 2023, the Company introduced a consumption-based pricing model for mortgage-related and consumer banking products to better meet the needs of its customers. With the consumption-based pricing model, customers typically enter into one to three year arrangements (“consumption-based arrangements”) that include a fixed annual commitment, which represents a portion of a customer’s expected annual usage that is consumed at specified prices for each product. Under consumption-based arrangements, the Company typically bills its customers quarterly, semi-annually, or annually in advance of their consumption. To the extent customers consume completed transactions in excess of the pre-purchased amount, they are charged for their incremental usage billed as overages monthly in arrears. Consumption-based arrangements typically permit customers to rollover any unused amount to the subsequent renewal year, generally on the commitment to pre-purchase additional consumption. Therefore, under consumption-based arrangements, the nature of the Company’s promise to customers is to provide a specified quantity of services. Consumption-based arrangements are generally non-cancelable during the contract term.

The Company also offers usage-based arrangements, in which customers pay a variable amount for completed transactions at specified prices. Under the usage-based arrangements, the Company bills its customers for completed transactions monthly in arrears. The Company recognizes revenue under these arrangements as customers consume completed transactions, such as funded loan, new account opening, or closing transaction. Completed transaction fees for mortgage-related and consumer banking products, including ancillary products (e.g., income verification and close products), are determined by the number and type of software platform components that are needed to support each product offering. Usage-based arrangements generally can be terminated at any time by the customer.

The Company continues to recognize revenue generated from subscription arrangements where customers pay fees for the ability to access the Company’s platform. Under subscription-based arrangements, customers commit to a minimum number of completed transactions at specified prices over the contract term. For subscription-based arrangements, the Company estimates variable consideration, which takes into account historical experience and other external factors that may impact the expectation of future completed transactions beyond a customer’s contracted minimum number of completed transactions. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the expected overage fees, if any, that will be earned for the duration of the contract term. Subscription arrangements are generally non-cancelable during the contract term and do not provide the contractual right to take possession of the software at any point in time. The Company begins recognizing revenue when access to the platform is provisioned to customers for an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Access to the platform represents a series of distinct services as the Company continually provides access to the platform, fulfills its obligation to the customer over the non-cancelable contractual term, and the customer receives and consumes the benefit of the platform throughout the contract period. The series of distinct services represents a single performance obligation that is satisfied over time. Under its subscription arrangements, the Company typically bills customers for any committed amounts quarterly, semi-annually or annually in advance and for overages beyond a customer’s contracted minimum number of completed transactions on a monthly or quarterly basis in arrears. The Company recognizes fees for subscription arrangements ratably over the non-cancelable contract term of the arrangement as subscription services are provided.

Certain customer contracts also include access to the Blend Builder, which provides customers with a set of low-code, drag-and-drop design tools, modular components and integrations to allow them to create and deploy their own new product offerings. The Company typically invoices customers annually in advance for access to Blend Builder and recognizes revenue allocated to Blend Builder ratably over the contract term.

The Company also generates revenue from certain marketplace partners by charging them a combination of fixed and variable fees to access the Company’s platform. Variable fees are typically received in arrears and fixed fees are typically billed in advance. Revenue is generally recognized ratably over the term of the license.

The Company also recognized revenue, to a lesser extent, from professional services and premier support. Professional services revenue consists of fees for services related to helping customers deploy, configure, and optimize the use of the Company’s technology. These services include consulting, project management, system integration, data migration, process enhancement, and training. Professional services contracts are priced either on a fixed price basis and billed in full at the beginning of the contract term or on a time-and-materials basis and billed monthly in arrears. Professional services revenues for contracts on a fixed price basis are recognized on a proportional performance basis, which measures the service hours performed to date relative to the total expected hours to completion. Professional services revenues for contracts on a time-and-materials basis are recognized as services are delivered.

Premier support revenue consists of fees for various services provided as part of a support package, such as email and chat support, unlimited quantity of service requests, developer assist API support, VIP support escalation line, phone/web conference support, and advanced configuration support. Premier support contracts are typically billed annually in advance and recognized ratably over time as a stand-ready performance obligation.

Title365

Title365 is a title insurance agency that offers title, escrow and other trustee services, including title search procedures for title insurance policies, escrow and other closing and settlement services. Title365 also offers title services in connection with a borrower default and with the issuance of home equity lines of credit and home equity loans.

For title insurance services, the Company earns a fee for placing and binding title insurance policies with third-party underwriters that ultimately provide the title insurance policy to its customers. The Company acts as an agent to place and bind title insurance policies and satisfies the performance obligation upon the closing of the underlying real estate transaction. Revenue related to title insurance is recognized net of the amount of consideration paid to the third-party insurance underwriters. Escrow fees and fees for other trustee services are primarily associated with managing the closing of real estate transactions, including the processing of funds on behalf of the transaction participants, gathering and recording the required closing documents, providing notary and other real estate or title-related activities.

For title insurance services provided along with an associated escrow service, revenue is recognized at the closing of the underlying real estate transaction. For title insurance services provided without an associated escrow service, revenue is recognized upon issuance of the title insurance policy. Revenue for other title services are recognized at the time of delivery of the title report, as Title365 has no significant ongoing obligations after delivery.

Contract assets

The Company records a contract asset when revenue recognized on its subscription arrangements and professional services contracts exceeds billable amounts under the contract. Contract assets are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents billings or payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Balances consist primarily of amounts prepaid under subscription and consumption-based arrangements and professional services not yet provided as of the balance sheet dates. Amounts that will be recognized during the succeeding 12-month period are recorded as deferred revenue, current, and the remaining portion, if any, is recorded as deferred revenue, non-current. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 to 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined its contracts do not include a significant financing component. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing its services, not to receive financing from its customers or to provide customers with financing.

Deferred Contract Costs

The Company capitalizes incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining contracts with customers as deferred contract costs, which consist of sales commissions paid to the Company’s sales force. The Company applies the practical expedient to expense sales commissions as incurred when the amortization period is one year or less.

Sales commissions paid to obtain renewal contracts are not considered commensurate with commissions paid for new contracts. Therefore, deferred contract costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated period of benefit of five years, which includes subsequent renewal periods. The Company determined the period of benefit by taking into consideration customer attrition and estimated technology life cycles. Amortization expense is included in sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The Company evaluates the period of benefit for its new revenue contracts on an annual basis, and reviews deferred contract costs for impairment as of each balance sheet date or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Cost of Revenue

Software-related costs of subscribed hosting, support, and costs of delivering professional services are expensed as incurred. Costs of subscribed hosting and support are comprised of third-party web hosting costs and software licenses, customer support, and other customer related activities. Costs of professional services consist primarily of personnel and related direct costs, including employee salaries, payroll taxes, business expenses (e.g., employee travel and lodging expenses for customer projects), as well as allocated overhead. Amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs is also included within cost of revenue.

Cost of revenue related to Title365 services consists of costs of title, escrow and other trustee services, which represent primarily personnel-related expenses of the Company’s Title segment as well as title abstractor, notary, and recording service expense provided by external vendors.

Title and Escrow Loss Reserve

The Company serves as policy issuing agent for third party underwriters. The Company may be liable to the underwriter for certain policy claims losses pursuant to the terms of the agency agreement with the underwriter. Reserves for estimated future losses on policies issued are established at the time the title insurance revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, and are based on claim loss history, industry trends, legal environment, geographic considerations, and the type of title insurance policies written. Title and escrow loss reserves are presented within other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recorded $1.8 million, $3.9 million and $5.2 million in advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as part of sales and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) are comprised of personnel costs, including stock-based compensation expense, associated with the Company’s product and engineering personnel responsible for the design, development, and testing of the product, depreciation of equipment used in research and development and allocated facilities and information technology costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures and recognizes its stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires compensation cost for the grant-date fair value of stock-based awards to be recognized over the requisite service period.

The Company primarily grants RSUs and has historically granted stock option awards to its employees that vest upon the satisfaction of a service condition. For stock option awards, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of the stock options granted. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the fair value of the underlying common stock (for pre-IPO awards), the expected volatility over the term of the option awards, the expected term of the awards, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield. The requisite service period of the stock option awards is generally the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. After the IPO, the fair value of each share of underlying Class A common stock is based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock as reported on the grant date. For RSUs, the Company determines the grant-date fair value as the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.

Certain stock options granted to the Company’s Co-Founder and Head of Blend vest upon the satisfaction of a service condition, liquidity event-related performance condition, and performance-based market conditions. In July 2021, the first tranche of the Co-Founder and Head of Blend stock option award vested upon completion of the IPO. The remaining tranches of shares will vest dependent on performance goals tied to the Company’s stock price hurdles with specified expiration dates for each tranche.

The Company also grants restricted stock units with performance vesting conditions (“PSUs”) to certain senior executives. The PSUs will vest in four tranches upon continued service and satisfaction of certain market-based performance targets related to the Company’s stock price hurdles. The Company estimates the grant date fair value and the requisite service period of the PSUs using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements, as well as from net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax amounts are measured using enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets that, based on all available positive and negative evidence, are not expected to be realized. Such evidence includes, but is not limited to, recent cumulative earnings or losses, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction, the anticipated reversal or expiration dates of the deferred tax assets and tax planning strategies.

The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it believes that it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.

Restructuring Charges

The restructuring charges consist primarily of cash expenditures for compensation and severance payments, employee benefits, payroll taxes and related facilitation costs associated with the Company’s workforce reduction plans, as well as facilities restructuring costs. Employee termination benefits are recognized as a liability at estimated fair value, at the time of communication to employees, unless future service is required, in which case the costs are recognized ratably over the future service period. Ongoing termination benefits are recognized as a liability at estimated fair value when the amount of such benefits is probable and reasonably estimable.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company measures its cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, accounts payable, and other current liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company measures certain other assets, including intangible assets and investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The Company reports its investments in cash equivalents and marketable securities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets based upon the level of judgment associated with inputs used to measure their fair value. The categories are as follows:

Level 1—Observable inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices which are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and which are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These inputs are based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value and require significant management judgment or estimation.

The estimated fair value of trade and other receivables, accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximate their respective carrying values due to their short term nature.

JOBS Act Accounting Election

As an emerging growth company (“EGC”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) allows the Company to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are applicable to private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). The Company intends to use this extended transition period under the JOBS Act until such time as the Company is no longer considered to be an EGC. The adoption dates discussed below reflect this election.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The guidance simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20 that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning January 1, 2024. ASU 2020-06 should be applied on a full or modified retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). This update clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The amendments affect all entities that have investments in equity securities measured at fair value that are subject to a contractual sale restriction. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280). This update improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, the title and position of the CODM, and added disclosure of how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU as of December 31, 2024 resulted in enhanced disclosures, but did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This update improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update improves the disclosures about a public entity’s expenses, primarily through additional disclosures of specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances

The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers:


Contract Accounts	Balance Sheet Line Reference	December 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
		(In thousands)
Contract assets—current	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	2,539	$	1,593
Contract liabilities—current	Deferred revenue, current	$	(19,240)	$	(8,984)

There were no long-term contract assets or deferred revenue as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized $7.3 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the respective period. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized $7.9 million of revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the respective period.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $0.3 million related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $2.4 million related to performance obligations satisfied in previous periods. The revenue recognized from performance obligations satisfied in the prior periods primarily related to changes in the transaction price, including changes in the estimate of variable consideration.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations was $123.0 million. These remaining performance obligations represent commitments in customer contracts for services expected to be provided in the future that have not been recognized as revenue. The expected timing of revenue recognition for these commitments is largely driven by the Company’s ability to deliver in accordance with relevant contract terms and when the Company’s customers utilize services, which could affect the Company’s estimate of when the Company expects to recognize revenue for these remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize approximately half of the remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months. The Company expects the majority of non-current remaining performance obligations to be recognized over the next 13 to 24 months.

Deferred Contract Costs

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, total unamortized deferred contract costs were $4.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of which $1.3 million and $1.0 million was recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.9 million and $2.5 million was recorded within deferred contract costs, non-current, on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The amortization of deferred contract costs was $1.1 million, $3.0 million and $4.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

- Definition

Total	$	134,891	$	294	$	(198)	$	134,987

Restricted cash that is not available for use in operations consisted of $5.0 million collateral for standby letters of credit related to the Company’s office lease facilities, $1.9 million collateral for surety bonds related to the Title segment and $0.3 million statutory deposits required under the California insurance code as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Marketable securities consist primarily of U.S. treasury and agency securities, commercial paper, and corporate debt securities. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification at each balance sheet date. The Company has classified its investments as current based on the nature of the investments and their availability for use in current operations.

The fair value of the Company’s investments in money market funds classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy is based on real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. The fair value of the Company’s investments in commercial paper and marketable securities classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments. The Company’s certificates of deposit are short-term in nature and are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value; as such, the certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the stated maturities of the Company’s marketable securities and other investments:


	December 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
	(In thousands)
	Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Due within one year	$	35,422	$	35,477	$	66,795	$	66,620
Due after one year through two years	20,625		20,756		39,069		39,340
Total marketable securities and other investments	$	56,047	$	56,233	$	105,864	$	105,960

All asset-backed securities have a maturity date in excess of one year from the balance sheet date.

The Company evaluates marketable securities in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or other factors. The Company considers the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the security issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

The Company does not have an intent to sell any of these securities prior to maturity and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date. Accordingly, the Company believes that generally the unrealized losses are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore no impairment charges or allowance for credit losses have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the number of investment positions that are in an unrealized loss position were 0 and 28, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had four securities, with an aggregate fair value of $16.0 million, that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater. The Company determines realized gains or losses on the sale of marketable securities based on a specific identification method.

The Company recognized interest income from its investment portfolio of $5.3 million, $11.4 million and $2.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Accrued interest receivable related to marketable securities is $0.4 million and $0.9 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable and recognizes interest receivable write offs as a reversal of interest income. No accrued interest was written off during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Intangible Assets

In connection with the impairment reviews performed during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that the reporting unit for purposes of the impairment assessments for goodwill is the Title365 business, and the asset group is the reporting unit for the purposes of the impairment assessment for long-lived assets under ASC 360-10. At the time of the assessments, the Company’s reporting units were the same as its operating and reportable segments, Blend Platform and Title365. The Company performed the impairment assessment for Title365 in the following order: (1) indefinite-lived intangible assets, (2) long-lived assets held and used, and (3) goodwill.

Title365 indefinite-lived intangible assets are comprised of licenses. The Company determined that the fair value of licenses has not declined below the carrying amount and recognized no impairment on the indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Title365 long-lived assets in the asset group are primarily comprised of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and customer relationship intangible assets. The Company compared the carrying value of the asset group to separately identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset group, and concluded that the asset group was impaired due to the carrying value exceeding the estimated undiscounted cash flows.

The Company then determined the fair value of the asset group as of each impairment testing date utilizing an income approach derived from a discounted cash flow methodology. Under the accounting guidance in ASC 360, the excess of the carrying value over the fair value is recognized as an impairment loss and allocated to assets for which the carrying value exceeds the respective asset’s fair value. Certain assets, such as property and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, were not allocated any impairment as the values of such assets approximated their respective carrying amounts. For customer relationships intangible asset, the fair value was determined using the discounted cash flow method. The significant assumptions used in the valuation of both the asset group and the customer relationship intangible asset included the estimated annual net cash flows expected to be generated from the Title365 customer portfolio, respectively, including revenue, long-term growth rates, EBITDA margins, and the discount rate.

Based on the results of the impairment analyses, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $162.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to write down the value of the customer relationships to its estimated fair value, which represented a full write off of the carrying amount. These charges are presented within impairment of intangible assets and goodwill in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

In evaluating goodwill for impairment, the Company compared the fair value of the Title365 reporting unit to its associated carrying value after the write down of the customer relationship intangible asset to its estimated fair value. The Company also estimated the fair value of the Blend Platform reporting unit and reconciled the aggregate fair values of its reporting units to the Company’s market capitalization adjusted for an estimated control premium.

Based on the results of the impairment analyses, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $287.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 against the carrying value of goodwill, which represented a full write off of the carrying amount. These charges are presented within impairment of intangible assets and goodwill in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and are not deductible for tax purposes.

There was no impairment of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Intangible assets consisted of the following:


	December 31, 2024
	Weighted Average Remaining Amortization	Gross Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net Book Value

Notes Receivable

In 2021, the Company made a $3.0 million investment in a privately-held company via a convertible promissory note (“2021 Note”). In 2023, the Company made an additional $2.5 million investment into the issuer via another convertible promissory note (“2023 Note”). In 2024, the Company made an additional $5.0 million investment into the issuer via a third convertible promissory note (“2024 Note”). Interest accrues at 2% per annum for the 2021 Note and 2023 Note, and 4% per annum for the 2024 Note, and outstanding principal and accrued interest is due and payable at the earliest of (i) 60 months from the execution of each note, respectively, (ii) an initial public offering, or (iii) change in control, unless otherwise converted to shares of the issuer. The outstanding principal and unpaid accrued interest on the notes is convertible into 4,500,000 shares of the issuer’s Series Seed Preferred Stock, 2,192,308 shares of the issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock and 4,384,615 shares of the issuer’s Voting Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, at the option of the issuer, upon a change in control, upon the issuer’s initial public offering, or upon a qualified equity financing. The conversion options are not bifurcated from the promissory notes as the options do not meet the net settlement criteria of a derivative instrument due to the options not being readily convertible to cash. The Company also has a call option to merge the issuer with the Company for aggregate consideration of $1.0 billion if exercised prior to November 18, 2029 or 11 times the issuer’s last 12 months of aggregate gross revenue if exercised on or after November 18, 2029. The value of the call option was determined to be inconsequential.

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates the collectability of the notes receivable in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company determined that no credit loss existed for the convertible promissory notes, and no provision for expected credit losses was recognized.

Investments in Non-Marketable Equity Securities

The Company holds an equity investment in a privately-held company in exchange for 103,611 shares of Series Growth 1a Preferred Stock. This investment in the equity securities without readily determinable fair value is measured at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of this investment was $9.8 million, inclusive of a cumulative upward adjustment of $7.3 million, of which $4.4 million was recognized in 2024 to reflect observable price changes. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of this investment was $5.4 million, inclusive of cumulative upward adjustment of $2.9 million.

The Company determined the adjustment by measuring the security at fair value using the option pricing model (“OPM”) as of the date the observable transaction occurred. Observable transactions, such as the issuance of new equity by an investee, are indicators of investee enterprise value and are used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investment in the equity security. An OPM is utilized to allocate value to the various classes of securities of the investee, including classes owned by the Company. Such information, available to the Company from the investee entity, is supplemented with the Company’s estimates such as volatility, expected time to liquidity and the rights and obligations of the securities the Company holds. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Company’s non-marketable equity security are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

The gain resulting from the adjustment to the carrying value of the non-marketable security is presented within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). There were no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

The Company capitalizes certain implementation costs incurred during the application development stage under cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts. The carrying value of the capitalized costs was $0.2 million as of December 31, 2024, of which $0.1 million is presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $0.1 million is presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of the capitalized costs was $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023, which is presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets. Amortization of capitalized implementation costs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated hosting arrangement when it is ready for its intended use. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred.

Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

The Company has future minimum purchase obligations under arrangements with third parties who provide hosting infrastructure services, cloud services, and software as a service (“SaaS”) solutions to support our business operations.

The future non-cancelable purchase obligations, which were not recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, were as follows:


Year ending December 31,	(In thousands)
2025	$	8,235
2026	3,151

Total	$	11,500

Contingencies

From time to time and in the normal course of business, the Company may be subject to various legal matters, such as threatened or pending claims or proceedings. The litigation contingencies, if realized, could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company recognizes a provision for litigation losses when a contingent liability is probable and the amount thereof is estimable. Costs associated with the Company's involvement in legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. Amounts accrued for litigation contingencies are based on the Company’s best estimates, assessments of the likelihood of damages, and the advice of counsel and often result from a series of judgments about future events and uncertainties that rely heavily on estimates and assumptions, therefore the actual settlement amounts could differ from the estimated contingency accrual and result in additional charges or reversals in future periods. The Company had a litigation contingency accrual of approximately $0.3 million and $1.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is presented within other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Warranties, Indemnifications, and Contingent Obligations

The Company’s platform, products, and services are generally warranted to perform substantially as described in the associated documentation and to satisfy defined levels of uptime reliability. The service-level agreements that provide for defined levels of uptime reliability and performance permit the customers to receive credits or to terminate their agreements in the event that the Company fails to meet those levels. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant failures to meet defined levels of reliability and performance as a result of those agreements and historically the Company has not incurred any material costs associated with warranties. Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liabilities related to these agreements in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company enters into indemnification provisions under (i) its agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors, customers, and landlords and (ii) its agreements with investors. Under these provisions, the Company generally indemnifies and holds harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified party’s activities under the agreement. These indemnification provisions often include indemnifications relating to representations made by the Company with regard to intellectual property rights. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. The Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. Accordingly, the Company has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by its amended and restated bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officers or directors serving in such capacity. The coverage applies only to acts that occurred during the tenure of the officer or director and has an unlimited term. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited.

Escrow or Trust Funds

The Company administers escrow and trust deposits held at third-party financial institutions representing funds received under real estate contracts, escrowed funds received under escrow agreements, and undisbursed amounts received for settlement of mortgage and home equity loans. These funds are not considered assets of the Company and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets; however, the Company remains contingently liable for the disposition of these funds on behalf of its customers. Cash held by the Company for these purposes was approximately $6.1 million, net of outstanding checks in transit of $33.8 million as of December 31, 2024, and approximately $3.2 million, net of outstanding checks in transit of $27.8 million as of December 31, 2023.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Debt Financing

Debt consisted of the following:


	December 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
	(In thousands)
Term Loan - principal	$	—	$	140,000
Term Loan - exit fee	—		4,500
Less: unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs	—		(6,166)
Total debt	$	—	$	138,334

On June 30, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of Title365, the Company entered into a credit agreement, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”), which provided for a $225.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $25.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility included $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. The Revolving Facility also included a swingline sub-facility (the “Swingline Facility”) that accommodated same-day borrowing of base rate loans. The sublimit for the Swingline Facility was $5.0 million.

The Term Loan was fully drawn at closing to provide, in part, the cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of Title365. The Term Loan was funded and the cash consideration was transferred on July 1, 2021. The Term Loan maturity date was June 30, 2026, and the full principal amount was due at maturity. No amortization payments were required with respect to the Term Loan.

The borrowings under the Term Loan accrued interest at a floating rate which were, at the Company’s option, either (i) an adjusted Term SOFR rate for a specified interest period plus an applicable margin of 7.50% or (ii) a base rate plus an applicable margin of 6.50%. The Term SOFR rate applicable to the Term Loan was subject to a floor of 1.00%, and the base rate was subject to a floor of 2.00%. The base rate for any day was a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day, plus 0.50%, (ii) the rate of interest for such day as published in the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate,” and (iii) the adjusted Term SOFR rate for a one-month interest period, plus 1.00%. Interest was payable in arrears for the elected specified interest period.

Under the Revolving Facility, the Company was required to pay a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum of the unused commitments.

The Company was also required to pay letter of credit fees, customary fronting fees, and other customary documentary fees in connection with the issuance of letters of credit.

The Company incurred approximately $5.7 million of debt issuance costs in connection with the Term Loan, which had been deferred, and the remaining unamortized portion of these costs was presented as a reduction of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued a Series G preferred stock warrant to purchase 598,431 shares of Class A common stock at an exercise price per share of $13.827822 (the “Series G Warrant"). The terms of the warrant agreement for the Series G Warrant provide the holder with an option to net settle if the fair value of Class A common stock is greater than the exercise price. The net shares to be issued in a cashless exercise will be based on the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock at the time the Series G Warrant is exercised. As of December 31, 2024, the Series G Warrant has not been exercised. The Series G Warrant will expire 10 years from the issue date. The proceeds from the issuance of debt were allocated between the Term Loan and the Series G Warrant based on their relative fair values, resulting in a debt discount of approximately $6.8 million for the amount allocated to the Series G Warrant and accounted for as paid-in capital.

In October 2022, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment replaced the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR as a result of the expected cessation of LIBOR and in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

On November 27, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) terminate the Revolving Facility and (ii) amend the maturity date of the Term Loan to provide for a springing maturity extension to June 30, 2027, in the event that certain conditions were satisfied. These conditions had not been met as of the date of the termination of the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company voluntarily prepaid outstanding Term Loan under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $85.0 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, in connection with prepayment made under the Second Amendment, the Company recognized approximately $4.0 million loss, consisting of the proportionate write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts due to the partial extinguishment of the Term Loan and the write off of unamortized portion of debt issuance costs related to the termination of the Revolving Facility.

On April 29, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company paid approximately $146.1 million to repay all amounts outstanding and payable under the Credit Agreement, including the exit fee of $4.5 million, and terminated the Credit Agreement.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the full repayment of amounts outstanding and payable under the Credit Agreement and the termination of the Credit Agreement, the Company recognized approximately a $5.5 million loss consisting of the full write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts due to the full extinguishment of the Term Loan. The loss is presented within other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Including the impact of the deferred debt issuance costs and the debt discounts resulting from the exit fee and the Series G Warrant, the effective interest rate on the Term Loan was approximately 14.55% as of April 29, 2024. Debt issuance costs, debt discounts, and the Revolving Facility issuance costs were being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement.

As a result of the failure to execute control agreements for all applicable deposit and investment securities accounts in a timely manner, the Company was out of compliance with certain non-financial covenants as well as the minimum liquidity covenant as of December 31, 2023. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company had remedied the failures. As of the date of termination of the Credit Agreement, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The fair value of the Term Loan was approximately $136.5 million as of December 31, 2023, and was classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Term Loan was measured by applying the income approach, which discounts the future contractual cash flows using a current risk-adjusted rate available to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

Redeemable Preferred Stock	12 Months Ended
Redeemable Preferred Stock	Dec. 31, 2024
Temporary Equity Disclosure [Abstract]
Redeemable Preferred Stock	Redeemable Preferred Stock On April 29, 2024, the Company entered into the Investment Agreement with Haveli and issued 150,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million. The Company incurred $10.1 million of issuance costs. Net proceeds from the transaction in the amount of $139.9 million were used to repay in full the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Series A Preferred Stock has the following rights: Conversion Rights Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Class A common stock at the option of the holders thereof at any time at an initial conversion rate of 307.6923 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.25 per share). Redemption Rights The Series A Preferred Stock includes the following redemption provisions: •At any time following the fifth anniversary of issuance, a majority of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to cause the Company to redeem in whole, but not in part the shares of Series A Preferred Stock for cash. The per share amount of such redemption will equal the then-current liquidation preference multiplied by (i) 150% if the redemption occurs on or after the fifth anniversary and prior to the sixth anniversary of the Issuance Date, (ii) 175% if the redemption occurs on or after the sixth anniversary and before the seventh anniversary of the Issuance Date, and (iii) 200% if the redemption occurs on or after the seventh anniversary of the Issuance Date. •At any time following the seventh anniversary of issuance, the Company may redeem in whole, but not in part all of the Series A Preferred Stock in cash for a per share amount equal to the then-current liquidation preference multiplied by 200%. •Upon notice of a change of control, holders of Series A Preferred Stock may elect to convert the shares into Class A common stock. If the holder does not elect to convert shares, the Company will be required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock in cash for a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any other property that the holder would have received on an as-converted basis at the then-current conversion price and (ii) 200% of the then-current liquidation preference. Dividend Rights The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive any dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of the Class A common stock to the same extent in kind and amount of consideration that would be payable on an as-converted basis as of the same record date and payment date of any dividend paid or distribution made to the holders of the Class A common stock. Dividends do not accrue on the Series A Preferred Stock. Voting & Consent Rights The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, as a single class, with the holders of the Class A common stock and the holders of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company then entitled to vote with the Class A common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Class A common stock (and, if applicable, holders of any other class or series of capital stock of the Company). The Company requires the affirmative approval of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding, voting as a single class, in connection with certain corporate actions or events of the Company that may have a material effect on the value of the Series A Preferred Stock. Governance Rights So long as Haveli, together with the other permitted transferees, beneficially owns at least 33% of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased by Haveli in connection with the Investment Agreement on an as-converted basis, Haveli will have the right to designate a director nominee for election to the Company’s board of directors. Liquidation Preference The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and ranks senior to the Class A common stock with respect to rights on the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. As of December 31, 2024, the Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $150.0 million. The Series A Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable and as such is not required to be classified as a liability. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder starting with the 5-year anniversary of issuance, or redeemable upon notice of change of control. As the redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock is not solely within the Company’s control, it is classified as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the Series A Preferred Stock has a maximum redemption value of $300.0 million. The carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock is accreted to its maximum redemption value over the seven year term, using the effective interest method. The increases in the redemption amount are recorded with corresponding adjustments against additional paid-in capital, in the absence of retained earnings. For each reporting period, the entire periodic change in the redemption amount is reflected in the computation of net loss per share under the two-class method as being akin to a dividend, by reducing the income (or increasing the loss) attributable to common stockholders. In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company issued a warrant (the “Haveli Warrant”) to Haveli to purchase up to 11,111,112 shares of Class A common stock, at a purchase price of $4.50 per share. The number of shares and exercise price are subject to anti-dilution adjustments for splits, dividends, capital reorganizations, reclassifications and similar transactions. The Haveli Warrant is exercisable for a period of 24 months from issuance, subject to the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The Haveli Warrant has not been exercised as of December 31, 2024. The net proceeds were allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and the Haveli Warrant based on their relative fair values as of the issuance date, in the amount of $130.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively. The proceeds allocated to Haveli Warrant were accounted for as paid-in capital. The Series A Preferred Stock does not contain any embedded features that are required to be bifurcated.

Stockholder’s Equity	Dec. 31, 2024
Equity [Abstract]
Stockholder’s Equity	Stockholder’s Equity The following is a summary of the rights of the holders of the Company’s capital stock: Common Stock The Company has three classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. The rights of the holders of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion. Dividend Rights Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of the Company’s common stock will be entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available if the Company’s board of directors, in its discretion, determines to issue dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that the Company’s board of directors may determine. Voting Rights Holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to 40 votes for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, and holders of the Class C common stock are not entitled to vote on any matter that is submitted to a vote of stockholders, except as otherwise required by law. The holders of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class, unless otherwise required by law. At the completion of the IPO, the Co-Founder and Head of Blend held all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock. No Preemptive or Similar Rights The Company’s common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption, or sinking fund provisions. Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions If the Company becomes subject to a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to the Company’s stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of the Company’s common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Conversion of Class B Common Stock Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. Shares of Class B common stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock upon sale or transfer except for certain transfers described in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, such as certain transfers effected for estate planning or charitable purposes. Conversion of Class C Common Stock After the conversion or exchange of all outstanding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, all outstanding shares of Class C common stock will convert automatically into Class A common stock, on a share-for-share basis, on the date or time specified by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, voting as a separate class. Preferred Stock Subject to the protective provisions afforded to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company’s board of directors has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by the Company’s stockholders. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had 200,000,000 shares authorized and 150,000 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. Share Repurchase Program In August 2024, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $25.0 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market repurchases or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of its Class A common stock, and it may be suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased may depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities. The share repurchase program has no set expiration date. The Company did not make any share repurchases under the repurchase program during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Stock-Based Compensation

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2024

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation

2012 Stock Option Plan

Effective May 1, 2012, the Company adopted the 2012 Stock Plan (the “2012 Plan”). Options granted under the 2012 Plan may be either incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options. Incentive stock options (“ISOs”), within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) may be granted only to employees (including officers and directors). Non-qualified stock options (“NSOs”) may be granted to employees and consultants. The exercise price of ISOs and NSOs shall not be less than 100% of the estimated fair value of the common shares on the date of grant, respectively, as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The exercise price of an ISO granted to a 10% or greater stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the common shares on the date of grant. Options generally vest over a period of four years. No further grants may be made under the 2012 Plan.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In July 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”), which became effective on July 14, 2021. The Company’s prior plan, 2012 Plan, was terminated immediately prior to the effectiveness of the 2021 Plan with respect to the grant of future awards.

The 2021 Plan provides for the grant of ISOs, to the Company’s employees and any parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of NSOs, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance awards to the Company’s employees, directors, and consultants and the Company’s parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants.

Subject to the adjustment provisions of and the automatic increase described in the 2021 Plan, a total of 23,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan, plus 36,101,718 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under the 2012 Plan. Subject to the adjustment provisions of the 2021 Plan, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan also includes an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2022, equal to the least of (a) 34,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, (b) 5% of the total number of shares of all classes of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (c) such other amount as the Company’s board of directors (or its committee) may determine. Options granted under the 2021 Plan generally vest over periods ranging from one to four years.

A summary of the stock option activity is as follows:


	Number of options	Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average remaining contractual life	Aggregate intrinsic value




	(In thousands)			(In years)	(In thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2023	19,946	$	4.58	5.62	$	11,762

Exercised	(961)	$	1.72		$	1,841
Canceled and forfeited	(1,685)	$	10.21
Balance as of December 31, 2024	17,300	$	4.20	4.69	$	31,282


Vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2024	15,747	$	4.29	4.65	$	28,570

No options were granted during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.69 per share.

The number of options unvested as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 1,552 and 3,172, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair value of these unvested options was $1.58 and $2.57 per share as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The total fair value of options vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $4.5 million, $11.4 million and $31.6 million, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $1.8 million, $0.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

The estimated grant date fair values of the employee stock options granted under the 2012 and 2021 Plan were calculated using the Black-Scholes Merton Option pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:


						Year Ended December 31,
						2022
Expected term (years)						6.34
Expected volatility						51.50%
Risk-free interest rate						3.52%
Expected dividend yield						—

Risk-Free Interest Rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the options at the date of grant.

Expected Term. The expected term represents the period that the Company’s share-based awards are expected to be outstanding. The Company applies the simplified method in determining the expected life of the stock options as the Company has limited historical basis upon which to determine historical exercise periods.

Expected Dividend Yield. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and, therefore, used an expected dividend yield of zero in the valuation model.

Expected Volatility. Expected volatility of the stock is based on the average historical volatility of the Company’s peer group after consideration of their size, maturity, profitability, growth, risk, and return on investment as the Company has limited historical volatility.

Fair Value. For grants issued subsequent to the Company’s IPO, the Company used the closing market price of its stock on the date of grant.

As of December 31, 2024, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options issued under the 2012 Plan and the 2021 Plan was approximately $2.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Early Exercise of Common Stock Options

The Company’s board of directors has authorized certain stock option holders to exercise unvested options to purchase shares of Class A common stock. Shares received from such early exercises are subject to repurchase in the event of the optionee’s termination of service as a service provider (as defined in the 2012 Plan and the 2021 Plan), at the lower of the fair market value on the date of the repurchase or the original exercise price, until the options are fully vested. The cash proceeds received for unvested shares of Class A common stock are presented within other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2024, no shares of Class A common stock were subject to repurchase. As of December 31, 2023, 123,611 shares of Class A common stock were subject to repurchase, and the cash proceeds related to these shares are presented within other non-current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets were $0.4 million.

Restricted Stock Units

A summary of the Company’s RSU activity and related information is as follows:


	Number of RSUs	Weighted average grant date fair value per share
	(In thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2023	20,137	$	1.30
Granted	7,115	$	2.73
Vested	(10,932)	$	1.60
Forfeited	(2,550)	$	1.61
Balance as of December 31, 2024	13,770	$	1.75

As of December 31, 2024, there was $22.0 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years. RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan generally vest quarterly over a period of one year from the grant date.

The total fair value of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $17.5 million, $33.6 million and $57.1 million, respectively.

Performance Stock Units

A summary of the Company’s PSU activity and related information is as follows:


	Number of PSUs	Weighted average grant date fair value per share
	(In thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2023	5,500	$	0.65
Granted	—	$	—
Vested	(1,175)	$	0.67
Forfeited	(800)	$	0.52
Balance as of December 31, 2024	3,525	$	0.67

In 2023, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 5,500,000 restricted stock units with performance vesting to certain senior executives. The estimated weighted-average grant date fair value of the PSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which included the following significant assumptions: risk-free interest rate, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, and expected life of the award.

As of December 31, 2024, there was $1.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized over an estimated weighted average remaining period of 1.5 years. The PSUs will vest in four tranches upon continued service and satisfaction of certain market-based performance targets related to the Company’s stock price hurdles.

The total stock-based compensation expense recognized for PSUs for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

The total fair value of PSUs vested during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $0.8 million.

Non-Plan Co-Founder and Head of Blend Options

In March 2021, the Company’s board of directors granted to its Co-Founder and Head of Blend a stand-alone stock option issued outside of the 2012 Plan covering a maximum of 26,057,181 shares of Class B common stock with an exercise price of $8.58 per share. The award has a 15-year term (subject to earlier termination when shares subject to the award are no longer eligible to vest) and vests upon the satisfaction of a service condition, liquidity event-related performance condition, and performance-based market conditions.

The terms of the award stipulated that if an IPO is completed within 15 months of the date of grant, the first tranche of 1,954,289 shares will vest. The remaining tranches of shares will vest dependent on performance goals tied to the Company’s stock price hurdles with specified expiration dates for each tranche. In July 2021, the first tranche of the Co-Founder and Head of Blend stock option award vested upon completion of the IPO.

The remaining tranches were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The weighted average estimated fair value of the remaining tranches was $3.80 per share based on the following assumptions:


Fair value of common stock			$18.00
Remaining contractual term (years)			14.75
Expected volatility			40.00%
Risk-free interest rate			1.71%
Expected dividend yield			—

The total stock-based compensation expense recognized for this award for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $5.8 million, $12.3 million and $19.6 million, respectively.

The total unrecognized compensation expense related to the award was $8.1 million as of December 31, 2024, which will be recognized over an estimated weighted average remaining period of 3 years.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring

Workforce Reduction Plans

In 2022, the Company executed three workforce reduction initiatives as part of its broader efforts to improve cost efficiency and better align its operating structure with its business activities, with the focus on streamlining the Company’s title operations as well as its general and administrative functions. In April 2022, the Company committed to its first workforce reduction plan (the “April Plan”), which eliminated approximately 200 positions, or 10% of the Company’s then-current workforce. In August 2022, the Company committed to an additional workforce reduction plan (the “August Plan”), which eliminated approximately 140 positions, or 10% of the Company’s then-current workforce. In November 2022, the Company committed to an additional workforce reduction plan (the “November Plan”), which eliminated approximately 100 positions, or 6% of the Company’s then-current workforce.

In 2023, the Company executed two workforce reduction initiatives. In January 2023, the Company committed to a workforce reduction plan (the “January 2023 Plan”), which eliminated approximately 340 positions, or 28% of the Company’s then-current workforce. In August 2023, the Company committed to an additional workforce reduction plan (the “August 2023 Plan”). The August 2023 Plan eliminated approximately 150 positions, or 19% of the Company’s then-current workforce.

In 2024, the Company continued its workforce reduction initiatives with the elimination of certain additional positions in January (the “January 2024 Plan”) and September (the “September 2024 Plan” and together with the January 2024 Plan, the “workforce reduction plans”). The Company executed these workforce reduction initiatives as part of its broader efforts to improve cost efficiency and better align its operating structure with its business activities, with the focus on streamlining the Company’s title operations as well as its general and administrative functions. The execution of the January 2024 Plan was substantially completed in the second quarter of 2024. The execution of the September 2024 Plan was substantially completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The restructuring charges attributable to the workforce reduction plans, not including executive transition costs, amounted to approximately $3.0 million, $23.8 million and $15.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The restructuring charges for workforce reduction plans consisted primarily of cash expenditures for compensation, severance, and transition payments, employee benefits, payroll taxes and related facilitation costs. The restructuring charges attributable to the August 2023 plan also include an accelerated expense of $2.1 million consisting of prepaid cash bonuses issued in the first and second quarter of 2023 to certain employees in lieu of previously committed equity-based awards.

Lease Termination and Abandonment

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to fully terminate one of its leases incurring a net $1.2 million restructuring charge primarily related to the early termination fee, and abandoned another leased facility, incurring a $3.3 million restructuring charge primarily related to accelerated amortization of the right-of-use asset and disposal of the accompanying leasehold improvements. The remaining $2.6 million lease liability related to the abandoned lease facility is presented under other current liabilities and the Company will continue to make payments under the lease agreement until the end of the lease term on September 30, 2025.

Executive Transition Costs

Effective March 16, 2023, Marc Greenberg stepped down as Head of Finance of the Company, and as the Company’s principal financial officer under Section 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act. In connection with Mr. Greenberg’s resignation as Head of Finance, the Company entered into a discretionary retention bonus letter with Mr. Greenberg, which provided that the Company would pay Mr. Greenberg a bonus (the “Bonus Payment”) equal to the amount by which the aggregate value of his total compensation is less than $1,458,333 for the period between September 1, 2022 through the March 31, 2023, provided Mr. Greenberg remained continuously employed by the Company through March 31, 2023. The Bonus Payment was made in cash or fully vested shares of Class A Common Stock of Blend of equivalent value, as determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. Mr. Greenberg’s last day of employment with Blend was April 3, 2023, and subsequently he received the Bonus Payment in cash in the amount of $0.9 million. In addition to the Bonus Payment, Mr. Greenberg received a severance package, which included 9 weeks of severance and other benefits in accordance with Company practices.

Effective February 1, 2023, Crystal Sumner stepped down as Head of Legal, Compliance, and Risk and Corporate Secretary of the Company. In connection with Ms. Sumner’s departure, the Company entered into a transition agreement with Ms. Sumner, pursuant to which Ms. Sumner received a transition payment equal to 9 weeks of Ms. Sumner’s then-current base salary in accordance with Company practices.

The restructuring charges attributable to the executive transaction costs were $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no restructuring charges attributable to the executive transition costs for the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2024.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Included in the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are the deferred tax effects associated with the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition of Title365 and acquired tax attributes that carry over to post-acquisition tax periods, including U.S. and state net operating losses and tax credits.

At December 31, 2024, the Company believes that, based on available evidence, both positive and negative, it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be utilized.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had a valuation allowance of $246.3 million. The valuation allowance increase of $9.1 million during 2024 is primarily attributable to an increase in deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses in 2024 and disallowed interest expense.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $616.3 million and $618.1 million, respectively, available to reduce future taxable income. The federal net operating losses generated before 2018 will begin to expire in 2028. The federal net operating losses generated in and after 2018 may be carried forward indefinitely. The state NOL carryforwards vary by state and begin to expire in 2025.

At December 31, 2024, the Company had $25.7 million of federal research credit carryforwards which will begin to expire in 2033 and state research credit carryforwards of $13.3 million which have no expiration date.

Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations due to the ownership change limitation provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. Events which may cause limitations in the amount of the NOLs that the Company may use in any one year include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50% over a three-year period. Any annual limitations may result in the expiration of NOL and credits before they are able to be utilized.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $11.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, none of which, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. Interest and penalties were not significant during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Company does not expect any material changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.

The following table reflects the changes in the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2024		2023		2022
	(in thousands)
Beginning Balance	$	10,040	$	8,228	$	5,948

Gross decreases—tax positions in prior periods	—		—		(20)
Ending balance	$	11,677	$	10,040	$	8,228

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state jurisdictions and India. The Company is currently not under income tax examinations by the U.S. federal or state tax authorities but is undergoing examination by the Indian tax authorities for the 2022 and 2023 tax years. Since the Company has net operating losses and credits carried forward in federal and various state jurisdictions, certain items attributable to closed tax years are still subject to adjustment by applicable taxing authorities through an adjustment to tax attributes carried forward to open years. All tax returns will remain open for examination by the federal and most state taxing authorities for three years and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization of any net operating loss carryforwards or research and development credits.

Net Loss Per Share

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2024

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Loss Per Share

The Company has three classes of authorized common stock for which voting rights differ by class. The Company computes net loss per share using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock. The Company’s Series A Preferred Stock is considered a participating security for purposes of applying the two-class method when calculating earnings per share in periods of net income. Under the two-class method, net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for the period is allocated between shares of common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all earnings for the period had been distributed.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for options early exercised and subject to repurchase.

Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, including awards issued under the Company’s equity compensation plans or other contracts to issue common stock, were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock (net of any assumed repurchases) that then shared in the earnings of the Company. During the periods of net losses, the net loss is reduced for amounts allocated to participating securities only if the security has a right to participate in the earnings of the entity and an objectively determinable contractual obligation to share in the net losses of the entity. The Company’s participating securities are not allocated any share of the net loss, as the participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the net losses of the Company. Diluted net loss per share attributable to the Company is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share for Class A and Class B common stock. No shares of Class C common stock were issued and outstanding during the periods presented.

Segment Information

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

The Company’s CODM is the chief executive officer. The Company’s operating segments are defined in a manner consistent with how the Company manages its operations and how the CODM evaluates the results and allocates the Company’s resources. The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments: Blend Platform and Title.

In 2023, the Company introduced Blend Builder, which gives customers the ability to easily configure or build custom workflows from a pre-built set of components. In connection with this development, the Company changed its reporting segments as previously reported on its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, to change the composition of the Blend Platform segment to exclude the Company’s digitally-enabled title component and instead report the digitally-enabled title component within the Title segment. This change reflects a corresponding change in how the CODM reviews financial information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. The comparative prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

The CODM assesses segment performance by using each segment’s gross profit. The Company does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets, and therefore, such information is not presented.

The CODM uses segment revenue and gross profit in the budget and forecasting process as well as in periodic financial reviews. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis to analyze historical performance of the segments. The CODM also considers revenue and gross margin growth when making decisions about capital and resource allocation between the segments to optimally support the Company’s strategic goals.

The following tables provide information about each reportable segment:

Subsequent Events	12 Months Ended
Subsequent Events	Dec. 31, 2024
Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events Performance Stock Units In January 2025, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 1,300,000 PSUs to a recently hired senior executive. In March 2025, the Company’s board of directors granted a total of 4,200,000 PSUs to the Co-Founder and Head of Blend. The PSUs will vest in four tranches upon continued service and satisfaction of certain market-based performance targets related to the Company’s stock price hurdles. Executive PSU Standardization In 2023, the Company’s board of directors granted PSUs (the “2023 PSU Awards”) to two legacy senior executives, covering a total of 1,200,000 PSUs and 800,000 PSUs, respectively. The 2023 PSU Awards were scheduled to vest in four tranches upon continued service and satisfaction of certain market-based performance targets related to the Company’s stock price hurdles. In December 2024, the first performance target related to the Company’s stock price was satisfied and 25% of the PSUs subject to each 2023 PSU Award vested. On March 13, 2025, the Company’s compensation committee elected to standardize the performance goals applicable to all outstanding PSUs for these two legacy senior executives so that the Company’s executives would have the same incentives and work towards the same objectives, thus creating a more cohesive and effective leadership team. In connection with this determination, the outstanding 2023 PSU Awards were cancelled and on the same date, the Company’s compensation committee granted new PSUs (the “New PSUs”) to each of the two legacy senior executives, covering a total of 1,300,000 PSUs and 800,000 PSUs, respectively. The New PSUs are scheduled to vest in four tranches upon continued service and satisfaction of certain market-based performance targets related to the Company’s stock price hurdles. Agreement Relating to Title365 On February 26, 2025, the Company executed an agreement with the holder of the 9.9% noncontrolling interest in Title365, where such holder will surrender its remaining interest to the Company. Additionally, the agreement terminated the Title365 stockholders agreement as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. As a result of the foregoing, the Title365 Put Option has been extinguished as of February 26, 2025. The Company also terminated a non-compete and non-solicit agreement with the counterparty, allowing the counterparty to pursue business opportunities relating to the title insurance industry. In connection with the agreement, the Company and the counterparty executed an amendment to an existing revenue subscription arrangement, whereby the counterparty committed to a certain minimum amount of consideration for access to the Company’s platform, updated pricing, and an extension of the existing arrangement’s contractual term.

Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, and Governance [Line Items]
Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]	We have established processes and policies for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks arising from cybersecurity threats and have integrated these processes into our overall risk management systems and processes. We routinely assess material risks from cybersecurity threats, including any potential unauthorized occurrence on, or conducted through, our information systems that may result in adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information systems or any information residing therein. We conduct annual risk assessments to identify cybersecurity threats, as well as assessments in the event of a material change in our business practices that may affect information systems that are vulnerable to such cybersecurity threats. These risk assessments include identification of reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks, the likelihood and potential damage that could result from such risks, and the sufficiency of existing policies, procedures, systems, and safeguards in place to manage such risks. We also utilize threat modeling to evaluate changes to our applications or environments for new threats or risks, and our cybersecurity team monitors the threat landscape regularly using security industry sources and certain threat intelligence information. Blend conducts daily vulnerability assessments, prioritizes remediation, and engages in routine system and application patching as well as other proactive measures, where deemed appropriate, to mitigate reasonably foreseeable risks. Blend maintains an incident response plan that is designed to contain and address any suspected security incident identified by the Company. This plan is tested at least annually. Our security operations team triages issues and invokes the incident response plan when deemed necessary. This plan includes provisions for notifications of internal and external parties, including Blend leadership and the Audit Committee as required. Following these risk assessments, or when we otherwise identify cybersecurity risks through the processes described in this “Risk Management and Strategy” section, we evaluate whether and how to re-design, implement, and maintain reasonable safeguards to minimize identified risks and reasonably address any identified gaps in existing safeguards. We devote significant resources and designate high-level personnel, including our Information Security Officer, who reports to our Head of Finance and Administration, to manage the risk assessment and mitigation process. As part of our overall risk management system, we monitor and test our safeguards and train our employees on these safeguards, in collaboration with our human resources and information technology functional groups. Personnel at all levels and departments are made aware of our cybersecurity policies through training. Specific training is required for users of higher-risk systems or individuals associated with specific security processes such as incident response. Our cybersecurity program includes processes for identifying and managing risks from third parties and is integrated into our overall risk management framework. Our program defines key risk objectives and if cybersecurity risk exceeds defined thresholds, such risks are documented and escalated into the enterprise risk program and Blend’s internal audit team. We contractually obligate third-party service providers with access to our systems or processing sensitive data on our behalf to align with our cybersecurity objectives and adhere to industry best practices. We re-evaluate each such service provider at least annually and when the role or purpose of a service provider changes, and have processes to require service providers maintaining sensitive data on our behalf to delete such data upon contract termination. We engage assessors or other third-party service providers in connection with our risk assessment and cybersecurity assessment or audit processes. These service providers assist us to evaluate risks and identify where our current security program may be improved. We consult with these service providers as required to verify mitigation approaches, to compare Blend’s security posture against industry peers, and to provide overall feedback for the security program. Additionally, we utilize outside service providers, as well as a bug bounty program, to penetration test our network infrastructure and applications and provide prioritized security vulnerability findings reports. Some Blend customers also perform annual security testing on Blend’s infrastructure and applications. Like other technology companies, we have experienced cybersecurity incidents in the past. We have not, however, been materially impacted by any previous cybersecurity incidents. For additional information regarding whether any risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our company, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, please refer to Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K,including the risk factors entitled “Risks Related to Our Business and Operations: A cyberattack, security breach, or incident affecting us or the third parties we rely on or partner with could expose us or our customers and consumers to a risk of loss or misuse of confidential information and have an adverse effect on our reputation, brand, business, financial condition, and results of operations.”

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2024

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Blend Labs, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. Noncontrolling interest represents the minority stockholder’s share of the net income or loss and equity in a consolidated subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Blend Labs, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest. Noncontrolling interest represents the minority stockholder’s share of the net income or loss and equity in a consolidated subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Changes in Financial Statement Presentation, Revenue Disaggregation and Segment Composition and Reclassification

Changes in Financial Statement Presentation, Revenue Disaggregation and Segment Composition

In 2023, the Company changed the presentation of revenue and cost of revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), by disaggregating each caption into the categories of software platform, professional services, and title, in order to provide the financial statement users with greater visibility into the composition of these accounts.

In 2023, the Company changed its reporting segments to align with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews financial information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. As the result of this change, the Company’s digitally-enabled title component (previously referred to as “software-enabled” title component) was reclassified from the Blend Platform segment to Title segment (previously referred to as “Title365” segment).

In 2023, the Company changed the presentation of its disaggregated revenue within the notes to the consolidated financial statements, to align with the change in how the CODM reviews financial information. This change was driven by the introduction of Blend Builder, which gives customers the ability to build custom solutions or configure workflows with pre-built solutions such as Instant Home Equity, Deposit Accounts, Credit Cards, and others. Within the new disaggregation, Mortgage Suite revenue represents revenue related to mortgage transactions processed through the Company’s software platform, ancillary product revenue related to mortgage transactions, and marketplace revenue (property and casualty insurance). Consumer Banking Suite revenue represents revenue related to the Company’s consumer banking products including personal loans, credit cards, deposit accounts, and home equity, including ancillary product revenue related to consumer banking transactions. Professional Services revenue represents revenue related to the deployment of the Company’s software platform, client support and consulting services. Title revenue represents revenue related to title (traditional and digitally-enabled), escrow and other closing and settlement services provided by the Title segment.

Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Reclassification

Certain prior periods amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. None of these reclassifications had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make, on an ongoing basis, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, estimates of variable consideration, evaluation of contingencies, determination of the incremental borrowing rates used in calculations of lease liabilities, determination of fair values of stock-based compensation, determination of fair value of marketable securities, determination of the fair value of each of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Haveli Warrant, determination of fair values of assets transferred and performance obligations committed to under the strategic partnership agreement, assessment of expected credit losses on notes receivable, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of acquired intangible assets, valuation of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, determination of useful lives of tangible and intangible assets and capitalized internal-use software development costs, assessment of impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of equity securities without readily determinable fair value.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has been and may continue to be affected by various macroeconomic factors, including interest rate environment, housing affordability, and worldwide political and economic conditions. The global financial markets have recently experienced extreme volatility and disruptions, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence, declines in economic growth, rising interest rates, inflation, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability. The real estate environment, including interest rates and the general economic environment, typically impacts the demand for mortgage and mortgage related products. Increases in interest rates due to efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”) to manage rising inflation, combined with ongoing supply constraints, have resulted in a decline in mortgage origination activity. The demand for mortgage and mortgage related products continues to be sensitive to these factors, and any material changes in Federal Reserve policy, interest rates or housing supply are expected to impact overall origination activity levels during 2025.

The Company’s operations are principally funded by available liquidity from cash, cash equivalents and investments. The Company has incurred net losses in each period since inception, and its limited operating history in an evolving industry makes it difficult to accurately forecast the impact of macroeconomic or other external factors on its business and may increase the risk that the Company may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future, or otherwise suffers adverse impacts on its operational and financial results.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company places its cash with high credit quality and federally insured institutions. Cash with any one institution may be in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the exposure to credit risk is not significant. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, cash and cash equivalents consisted of cash, money market accounts, and highly liquid investments with original maturities less than 90 days. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the investments.

Restricted Cash

The Company has classified cash that is not available for use in its operations as restricted cash. Restricted cash consists primarily of collateral for letters of credit related to security deposits for the Company’s office facility lease arrangements and collateral for surety bonds related to the Title segment. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had restricted cash of $7.3 million, of which $5.0 million was presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets and $2.3 million was presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had restricted cash of $7.3 million, all of which was presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Trade and Other Receivables and Credit Loss Reserves and Investment in Notes Receivable

Trade and Other Receivables and Credit Loss Reserves

The Company reports trade and other receivables net of the allowance for credit losses, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. ASC 326 requires an entity to recognize an allowance that reflects the entity’s current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the financial instrument. The Company’s estimate of expected credit losses is determined based on expected lifetime loss rates calculated from historical data and adjusted for the impact of current and future conditions, such as the age of outstanding receivables, historical payment patterns, any known or expected changes to the customers’ ability to fulfill their payment obligations, or assessment of broader economic conditions that may impact the customers’ ability to pay the outstanding balances. As of each of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the reserve for expected credit losses was immaterial. The provision for expected credit losses and the uncollectible portion of the receivables written off against reserve for expected credit losses were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Investment in Notes Receivable

Investment in notes receivable represents an investment in a privately-held company via convertible promissory notes that are accounted for under ASC 310, Receivables, at cost basis, less impairment. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates the collectability of the notes receivable in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The notes receivable are presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6, Significant Balance Sheet Components, for further information.

Marketable Securities

Marketable securities consist primarily of U.S. treasury and agency securities, commercial paper, and corporate debt securities. The Company’s policy requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such classification at each balance sheet date. The Company has classified its investments as current based on the nature of the investments and their availability for use in current operations.

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the change in unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income until realized. Fair value is determined based on quoted market rates when observable or utilizing data points that are observable, such as quoted prices, interest rates and yield curves. Securities with an amortized cost basis in excess of estimated fair value are assessed to determine what amount of the excess, if any, is caused by expected credit losses. Expected credit losses on securities are recognized in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and any remaining unrealized losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. For the purposes of computing realized and unrealized gains and losses, the cost of securities is based on the specific-identification method. Interest on securities classified as available for sale is included as a component of investment income within other income (expense), net. The Company does not measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable and recognizes interest receivable write offs as a reversal of interest income.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:


Computer and software			3 years
Furniture and fixtures			5 years
Leasehold improvements			Shorter of useful life or lease term

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are evaluated to determine whether they are capitalizable or should be expensed as incurred. Gains or losses on disposal of property and equipment are recognized in the period when the assets are sold or disposed of and the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from their respective accounts.

Capitalized Internal-Use Software

The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in the development of its platform and product offerings when (i) the preliminary project stage is completed, (ii) management has authorized further funding for the completion of the project, and (iii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. These capitalized costs include personnel and related expenses, including stock-based compensation, for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to internal-use software projects. Capitalization of these costs ceases and amortization commences once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended purpose. Costs incurred for significant upgrades and enhancements to the existing software are capitalized, while the costs incurred for minor modifications, as well as training and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The capitalized internal-use software development

costs are reported in property and equipment, net, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not transfer ownership of its software, license, or lease the software to third parties.

Leases

The Company measures lease liabilities based on the present value of the total lease payments not yet paid discounted based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is the estimated rate the Company would be required to pay for a collateralized borrowing equal to the total lease payments over the term of the lease. The lease liability also includes expected renewal or termination options, if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company measures right-of-use assets based on the corresponding lease liability adjusted for (i) payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date, (ii) initial direct costs the Company incurs and (iii) tenant incentives under the lease. The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit interest rate and the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to measure the lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset. The incremental borrowing rate is a fully collateralized rate that considers the Company’s credit rating, market conditions, and the term of the lease. The Company accounts for all components in a lease arrangement as a single combined lease component and begins to recognize lease expense when the lessor makes the underlying asset available to the Company. For short-term leases, the Company records rent expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the lease term and records variable lease payments as incurred. The Company has no finance leases.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and capitalized software development costs, whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of the asset group to which the assets relate. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

The Company capitalizes certain implementation costs incurred during the application development stage under cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The capitalized costs are presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets and expensed over the term of the related hosting arrangement service period.

Cloud Computing Arrangements

The Company capitalizes certain implementation costs incurred during the application development stage under cloud computing arrangements that are service contracts. The carrying value of the capitalized costs was $0.2 million as of December 31, 2024, of which $0.1 million is presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $0.1 million is presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The carrying value of the capitalized costs was $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023, which is presented within prepaid expenses and other current assets. Amortization of capitalized implementation costs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the associated hosting arrangement when it is ready for its intended use. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred.

Investment in Non-Marketable Equity Securities

Investment in non-marketable equity securities without readily determinable fair values is recorded at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $4.4 million gain as the result of an adjustment to the carrying value of the non-marketable security to reflect observable price changes. The Company determined the adjustment by measuring the security at fair value using the option pricing model (“OPM”) as of the date the observable transaction occurred. Observable transactions, such as the issuance of new equity by an investee, are indicators of investee enterprise value and are used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investment in the equity security. An OPM is utilized to allocate value to the various classes of securities of the investee, including classes owned by the Company. Such information, available to the Company from the investee entity, is supplemented with the Company’s estimates such as volatility, expected time to liquidity and the rights and obligations of the securities the Company holds. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Company’s non-marketable equity security are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 6, Significant Balance Sheet Components, for further information. There were no observable price changes for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a $2.9 million gain as the result of an adjustment to the carrying value of the non-marketable security to reflect observable price changes.

At each reporting date, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to evaluate the investment for impairment. If the qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced to its fair value. Any adjustments to carrying value based on observable price changes and impairment charges are recorded in other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and the investment is presented within other non-current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Investments in Non-Marketable Equity Securities

The Company holds an equity investment in a privately-held company in exchange for 103,611 shares of Series Growth 1a Preferred Stock. This investment in the equity securities without readily determinable fair value is measured at cost, less impairment, if any, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions of an identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

As of December 31, 2024, the carrying value of this investment was $9.8 million, inclusive of a cumulative upward adjustment of $7.3 million, of which $4.4 million was recognized in 2024 to reflect observable price changes. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying value of this investment was $5.4 million, inclusive of cumulative upward adjustment of $2.9 million.

The Company determined the adjustment by measuring the security at fair value using the option pricing model (“OPM”) as of the date the observable transaction occurred. Observable transactions, such as the issuance of new equity by an investee, are indicators of investee enterprise value and are used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investment in the equity security. An OPM is utilized to allocate value to the various classes of securities of the investee, including classes owned by the Company. Such information, available to the Company from the investee entity, is supplemented with the Company’s estimates such as volatility, expected time to liquidity and the rights and obligations of the securities the Company holds. The inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Company’s non-marketable equity security are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the use of significant unobservable inputs.

The gain resulting from the adjustment to the carrying value of the non-marketable security is presented within other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). There were no impairments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value, which is based on best estimates and assumptions as of the acquisition date. Such estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. Goodwill is recognized to the extent by which the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interest in the acquired business exceeds the recognized basis of the identifiable assets acquired, net of assumed liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations of the acquired business are consolidated as of and subsequent to the acquisition date.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the aggregate fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable.

Acquired intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. Determination of the fair value of the acquired customer relationships and licenses involves significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue forecasts, discount rates, customer attrition rates, and replacement costs. Determination of estimated useful lives of intangible assets requires significant judgment, and the Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the useful lives of finite-lived intangible assets may warrant revision. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Due to a decline in economic and market conditions in 2022, the Company determined that triggering events that indicate the assets should be evaluated for impairment occurred and performed a quantitative impairment analysis, which resulted in a full impairment of goodwill and the acquired customer relationship intangible assets. Refer to Note 5, Intangible Assets, for further information.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company’s 90.1% ownership of Title365 results in recognition of 9.9% noncontrolling interest, which represents the minority stockholder’s share of the net income and equity in Title365. The Title365 stockholders agreement includes a provision whereby the Company has a call option to purchase the 9.9% noncontrolling interest at a purchase price equal to the greater of (1) $49.5 million plus an amount of interest calculated using an interest rate of 5.0% per annum compounding annually; or (2) 4.4 multiplied by the trailing 12-month EBITDA multiplied by the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage (the “Title365 Call Option”). The Title365 Call Option became exercisable on June 30, 2023. The noncontrolling interest holder also holds an option to compel the Company to purchase the remaining 9.9% noncontrolling interest at a price calculated in the same manner as the Title365 Call Option (the “Title365 Put Option”). The Title365 Put Option is exercisable beginning 5 years following the acquisition closing date. Neither the Title365 Call Option nor the Title365 Put Option have an expiration date. However, pursuant to the Title365 stockholders agreement, the Company also has certain bring-along rights that it can exercise under certain circumstances, which may result in the Title365 Put Option being extinguished. As the Title365 Put Option is not solely within the Company’s control, the Company classified this interest as redeemable noncontrolling interest (“RNCI”) within the mezzanine equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. The RNCI is accreted to the redemption value under the interest method from the acquisition date through the date the Title365 Put Option becomes exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the RNCI is reported at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the RNCI's share of earnings or losses and other comprehensive income or loss, or its accreted redemption value. The changes in the redemption amount are recorded with corresponding adjustments against retained earnings or, in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital. For each reporting period, the entire periodic change in the redemption amount is reflected in the computation of net loss per share under the two-class method as being akin to a dividend. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the redemption amount of the Title365 Put Option as if it was currently redeemable was $58.7 million and $55.9 million, respectively.

Series A Preferred Stock

On April 29, 2024, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Haveli Brooks Aggregator, L.P. (“Haveli”) and issued 150,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is classified as mezzanine equity due to the redemption features that are not solely within the Company’s control. The Series A Preferred Stock is accreted to its maximum redemption value over the seven year term, using the effective interest method. The increases in the redemption amount are recorded with corresponding adjustments against additional paid-in capital, in the absence of retained earnings. For each reporting period, the entire periodic change in the redemption amount is reflected in the computation of net loss per share under the two-class method as being akin to a dividend, by reducing the income (or increasing the loss) attributable to common stockholders. The Series A Preferred Stock is a participating security for purposes of applying the two-class method when calculating earnings per share in periods of net income. Refer to Note 15, Net Loss per Share, for further information.

Debt and Debt Issuance Costs

The carrying value of the Company’s term loan is presented net of debt issuance costs and discount relating to the issuance of preferred stock warrant. These costs are amortized as a non-cash component of interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the loan. Unamortized debt issuance costs that exist upon the extinguishment of debt are expensed proportionally to the amount of debt extinguished and the resulting loss on extinguishment is presented within other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). On April 29, 2024, in connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company paid approximately $146.1 million to repay all amounts outstanding and payable under the Credit Agreement, including the exit fee of $4.5 million, and terminated the Credit Agreement. Refer to Note 9, Debt Financing, for further information.

Segment Information

The Company’s operating segments are defined in a manner consistent with how the Company manages its operations and how the CODM evaluates the results and allocates the Company’s resources.

The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments: Blend Platform and Title. In March 2023, the Company introduced Blend Builder, which gives customers the ability to easily configure or build custom workflows from a prebuilt set of components. In connection with this development, the Company changed the reporting segments, so that the composition of the Title segment included the Company’s digitally-enabled title component. This segment reporting change reflects a corresponding change in how the CODM reviews financial information in order to allocate resources and assess performance. The comparative prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
