SEC filingRevenue grew 4% YoY to $1.57B, but gross margin contracted 30bps to 8.2% due to inventory aging and soft market conditions.
In Q2 2025, Opendoor generated revenue of $1.567 billion, a 4% increase from $1.511 billion in Q2 2024. The growth was driven by a 5% rise in homes sold (4,299 vs. 4,078), partially offset by a 2% decline in revenue per home. Gross profit decreased slightly to $128 million from $129 million, resulting in a gross margin of 8.2%, down 30 basis points from 8.5%. On a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted Gross Margin contracted more sharply to 8.6% from 10.2%, and Contribution Margin fell to 4.4% from 6.3%. The margin compression was attributed to a higher mix of older inventory in the resale cohort, as the company intentionally slowed acquisition and raised spreads in response to a challenging housing market characterized by low clearance rates and rising delistings. Net loss improved significantly to $29 million from $92 million, benefiting from a $10 million gain on extinguishment of debt and a $30 million reduction in operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $23 million versus a loss of $5 million in the prior year.
Opendoor operates as a single reportable segment, so no segment-level breakdown is provided. However, within the MD&A, the company discusses key operational drivers: the agent-led distribution channel and capital-light product initiatives are being expanded to resonate with sellers. The company also highlighted its title and escrow adjacent services, which continue to improve unit economics. Inventory management is critical; the percentage of homes on the market for over 120 days rose to 36% from 14% a year ago, reflecting slower clearance and a deliberate strategy to reduce purchase volume. Homes purchased plummeted 63% YoY to 1,757, as management prioritized risk management over growth.
The MD&A does not provide explicit quantitative guidance for future periods. However, management expressed a commitment to a flexible, data-driven approach, dynamically adjusting pricing and spreads to balance growth, margin, and risk. They noted continued monitoring of macroeconomic developments, particularly interest rates and affordability constraints. The company expects to maintain its current market footprint of 50 markets and will continue to invest in technology and adjacent services to drive long-term unit margin expansion. The recent convertible note issuance ($325M of 7.00% notes due 2030) provided incremental liquidity, and the company believes current cash and borrowing capacity are sufficient for at least the next 12 months. The focus on cost reduction and organizational streamlining, evidenced by lower headcount and advertising expense, is expected to persist.
Opendoor's operating cash flow (CFO) was $544M for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a significant turnaround from ($577M) in the prior-year period. The net loss of ($114M) was more than offset by non-cash items such as stock-based compensation ($27M), depreciation and amortization ($22M), inventory valuation adjustments ($34M), and a $593M decrease in real estate inventory (working capital inflow). Capex remained low at $6M, down from $16M, indicating disciplined capital spending. Notably, the company did not report free cash flow, but CFO less capex would imply $538M of discretionary cash generation. Financing activities used $122M, primarily due to net repayments of non-recourse debt ($182M net) partially offset by proceeds from convertible notes ($75M) and ESPP ($1M). The large swing in CFO was driven by real estate inventory liquidation, which is a key driver of Opendoor's business model. No share repurchases or dividends were reported. Overall, the cash flow profile shows improved liquidity and reduced cash burn.
