Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with the historical condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in “Part I - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”).
Overview
Opendoor’s mission is to empower everyone with the freedom to move and make it possible to buy, sell and move at the tap of a button. We are transforming what has historically been a complex, uncertain, time-consuming and mostly offline process into a simple, online experience. Since our inception in 2014, we have built scalable pricing capabilities, technology-enabled centralized operations, and a suite of digital-first consumer products. These investments have enabled us to help customers buy or sell homes in over 100,000 transactions and expand our footprint to 39 markets across the country. Most importantly, we have scaled rapidly while delighting our customers with an experience that brings simplicity, certainty and speed to the home selling and buying process.
February 2021 Offering
On February 9, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering (the “February 2021 Offering”) in which we sold 32,817,421 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $27.00 per share, including the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase up to 4,280,533 additional shares of common stock, which was completed on February 11, 2021. We received aggregate net proceeds from the February 2021 Offering of approximately $859.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to invest in increasing existing market penetration, to expand into new markets, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Business Combination
We entered into a Merger Agreement with SCH, a special purpose acquisition company, on September 15, 2020. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, a newly formed subsidiary of SCH, merged with and into Opendoor Labs Inc. Upon the consummation of the Closing on December 18, 2020, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased; Opendoor Labs Inc. survived and became a wholly owned subsidiary of SCH, which was renamed Opendoor Technologies Inc.
The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under the guidance in ASC 805, Opendoor Technologies was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Opendoor Labs Inc. was deemed the accounting predecessor of the combined business, and Opendoor Technologies, as the parent company of the combined business, was the successor SEC registrant, meaning that our financial statements for previous periods will be disclosed in the registrant’s future periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Business Combination had a significant impact on our reported financial position and results as a consequence of the reverse recapitalization. The most significant changes in Opendoor Technologies’ reported financial position and results are a net increase in cash of $970 million. The increase in cash includes approximately $600 million in proceeds from the private placement (“PIPE Investment”) consummated substantially simultaneously with the Business Combination, offset by additional transaction costs for the Business Combination. The transaction costs for the Business Combination are approximately $44 million, of which $14.5 million represents deferred underwriter fees related to SCH’s initial public offering.
As a result of the Business Combination, we became an SEC-registered and Nasdaq-listed company, and have hired additional personnel and implemented procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. We have incurred and expect to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees, and additional internal and external accounting, legal and

administrative resources. We estimate that these incremental costs will be approximately $15 million for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Business Impact of COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported and subsequently spread worldwide. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent health risks, we substantially ceased purchasing additional homes in March 2020 to safeguard the health and safety of our customers and employees. After ensuring our ability to close transactions safely, seeing the lifting of shelter-in-place mandates, and retooling certain operational processes to enable “contactless” transactions, we resumed making offers to purchase homes in select markets in May 2020. We resumed operations across all of our markets by the end of August 2020.
Despite pausing new acquisitions in March 2020, we continued to sell down inventory at a healthy pace, leading to a low point in home inventory of $152 million as of September 30, 2020 compared to inventory of $1,312 million as of December 31, 2019. As our revenues are dependent on inventory levels available for sale, our top line was pressured due to limited inventory. Accordingly, we experienced sequential, quarter-over-quarter declines in revenue in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020. We have been actively rebuilding our inventory since August 2020 and ended the second quarter of 2021 with $2,724 million in inventory. Likewise, we returned to sequential revenue growth in the first and second quarters of 2021 and we expect this trend to continue for the remainder of the year. See “— Components of Our Results of Operations — Revenue .”
Our Business Model
Revenue and margin model
We acquire homes directly from individual sellers and resell those homes to buyers, including both individual consumers and institutional investors. Upon acquiring a home, we typically make necessary renovations and repairs before listing it for sale on our website, our mobile app, Multiple Listing Services (“MLS”) and other online real estate portals. Our average hold period for homes purchased since January 2020, from acquisition to resale, ranged from 70 to 100 days and varied by market. Home sales comprise the vast majority of our revenues today, but we expect increasing contribution from adjacent services as our current offerings mature and we introduce additional services over time.
To achieve our long-term margin objectives, we must both maintain pricing accuracy as the business expands and increase customer adoption of our newer services, such as Opendoor Home Loans, Buy with Opendoor, and List with Opendoor. We also plan to achieve operating leverage by growing our revenue at a faster pace than our fixed cost base, which includes general and administrative as well as technology and development expenses. Given the size of the opportunity in front of us, we plan to invest aggressively in the near term and appropriately balance trade-offs between growth and margin as we scale.
Offers
We generate demand for our services through organic awareness and word-of-mouth, paid media spend, and partnership channels such as our relationships with homebuilders and online portals. Home sellers can visit our website or mobile app and answer a few questions about their home’s condition, features and upgrades. For eligible homes, customers receive an initial home valuation range, which can be refreshed at any time through their personalized seller dashboard. The majority of our initial offers are algorithmically generated and do not require any human intervention.
In order to finalize our offer, we conduct a free assessment to confirm all of the home details and identify any repairs that may need to be performed. We have developed purpose-built software to guide home assessment workflows and collect over 100 unique data points regarding a home’s condition and quality, which we incorporate as structured data into our underlying pricing models. Once completed, we finalize our offer, taking into consideration any necessary repairs, and produce the purchase agreement for the seller. Our objective is to provide a competitive cash offer to sellers and we believe this approach builds trust with our potential customers. Our business model is designed to generate margins from our service charge to sellers and adjacent products and services associated with a transaction, and not from the spread between acquisition price and resale price.
We closely track the number of potential sellers who accept the Opendoor offer versus listing their home on the MLS, and this conversion rate is an important factor for our growth.

Home acquisition and renovation
Once a seller has received and accepted our final purchase offer, we enable the seller to close the transaction on a flexible timeline. This is a particularly important feature to sellers, as their home sale can accommodate other life events (including the purchase of their next home) and further differentiates our service from a traditional sale. Depending on the condition of the home, we leverage our vetted contractor network within each market to complete required repairs and upgrades. Our repair scopes are focused on high-return investments and ensuring the home is in market-ready condition. We continuously refine and adjust our repair strategies based on our operating experience in markets and reviewing neighborhood-level resale outcomes.
Home resale
Post-renovation, we market our homes across a wide variety of channels to generate buyer awareness and demand. These include the Opendoor website and mobile app, local MLS and syndication across real estate portals. We also generate buyer awareness through Opendoor signage for listed properties. Efficiently turning our inventory, inclusive of repairing, listing, and reselling the home, is important to our financial performance, as we bear holding costs (including utilities, property taxes and insurance) and financing costs during our ownership period.
As part of the listing and marketing process, we determine an appropriate pricing strategy for each home. Our proprietary pricing engine helps automate many of these steps, including relevant adjustments over time. We measure our inventory performance compared to local market trends, and our pricing models can incorporate granular, relative demand signals to optimize pricing and sell-through across the portfolio. Our resale models, in conjunction with our pricing team, aim to maximize resale margin while maintaining appropriate transaction velocity and overall inventory health.
When we receive an acceptable offer on a given home, we enter into a resale contract. Buyers will then typically conduct an inspection on the property, finalize their mortgage application process and ultimately take possession of the home upon closing of the transaction.
Factors Affecting our Business Performance
Market Penetration in Existing Markets
Residential real estate is one of the largest consumer markets, with approximately $1.9 trillion of home value transacted annually. Given we operate in a highly fragmented industry and offer a differentiated value proposition to the incumbent agent-led transaction, we believe there is significant opportunity to expand our share in our existing cities. By providing a consistent, high-quality and differentiated experience to our customers, we hope to continue to drive positive word-of-mouth, awareness and trust in our platform. We believe this creates a virtuous cycle, whereby more home sellers will request an offer from Opendoor, allowing us to deepen our market penetration.
Expansion into New Markets
Since our inception in 2014, we have expanded into 39 markets as of June 30, 2021. The following table represents the number of markets as of the periods presented:
June 30, March 31, Year Ended December 31,
(in whole numbers) 2021 2021 2020 2019 2018
Number of markets (at period end) 39 27 21 21 18
After launching 12 markets in 2018, we focused on centralizing our operations platform in 2019 for long-term scalability. We launched three additional markets in 2019 and did not launch any markets in 2020, primarily due to COVID-19. We plan to double the markets we serve by the end of 2021 and have launched 18 new markets in the first half of the year. We believe our centralized systems will allow for a higher velocity and lower cost market launch process in the future. We are able to launch a market with only a small field team focused on home assessments and subcontractor oversight, with all other key functions managed centrally, including marketing, customer sales and support and pricing.

We view the first year of a market launch as an investment period during which we refine our pricing models, renovation strategies and cost structure. Historically, we have seen Contribution Margin for purchase cohorts in new markets reach positive, steady-state levels approximately one year after initial launch. The significant number of new market launches in 2018 contributed to our lower Contribution Margin in 2019; as those same markets matured, we were able to improve Contribution Margin performance in 2020.
We are making substantial investments to support our market launches in 2021, which will impact both Contribution Margin and Adjusted EBITDA as these new markets mature.
Adjacent Services
We believe home sellers and buyers value simplicity and convenience. To that end, we are building an online, integrated suite of home services, which currently include title insurance and escrow services, listing and real estate brokerage services, and mortgage services. We believe that vertically integrating services that are adjacent to the core real estate transaction will allow us to deliver a superior, seamless experience to the consumer. Our success with title insurance services helps validate our thesis that customers prefer an online, integrated experience. We expect that these adjacent services will also be accretive to our Contribution Margin.
We will continue to evaluate new ways to improve our end-to-end solution and expect to invest in additional adjacent products and services over time.
Unit economics
We view Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin after Interest as key measures of unit economic performance. Our long-term financial performance depends, in part, on continuing to expand unit margins through the following initiatives:
• Pricing engine optimization and enhancements, especially as we enter new markets and expand our reach in existing markets.
• Lowering platform costs through process refinement, greater automation and self-service, and more efficient forms of financing.
• Successful introduction of additional services that supplement the core transaction margin profile.
Seasonality
The residential real estate market is seasonal, with greater demand from home buyers in the spring and summer, and typically weaker demand in late fall and winter. We expect our financial results and working capital requirements to reflect seasonal variations over time, although our growth and market expansion have obscured the impact of seasonality in our historical financials and may continue to do so. That said, we generally expect stronger sequential revenue growth in the first quarter of the year versus the third and fourth quarters.
Risk management
We have invested significant time and resources into our pricing engine and inventory management systems. Our engineering, data science and pricing teams collectively focus on pricing accuracy for both home acquisition and disposition, as well as managing our inventory health across markets.
While residential real estate markets are subject to fluctuations, as with any market, we believe we are well-positioned to manage our inventory risk exposure due to the following:
• Our business model is based on transaction velocity and short-duration hold times, with our average days in possession typically ranging from 70 to 100 days for homes acquired since January 2020. We have historically concentrated our home purchases on the more liquid segments of the residential real estate market, thus limiting our duration risk. Moreover, residential real estate prices tend to move gradually relative to other asset classes, which meaningfully reduces our exposure to price fluctuations during our ownership period.

(Tabular amounts in thousands, except share and per share data and ratios, or as noted)
• Our pricing models and inventory management systems are designed to recalibrate to market signals on a daily basis. Accordingly, changing market conditions are reflected in our pricing for new acquisitions, leaving only previously-acquired inventory at risk to potential market volatility. In addition, we employ sophisticated resale pricing management systems that allow as to optimize sell-through and margin using real-time, local market demand information, including down to an individual home level. We believe that the quality and scale of information we utilize in our inventory management decisions provides us with a structural advantage over individual sellers or agents in the traditional home selling process.
• At any moment in time, a significant portion of our inventory is under resale contract; this means we have already found buyers for those homes and are in the process of closing the resale transactions. This further limits our exposure to the remaining homes in inventory.
• Our listed homes are not occupied and are in resale condition given the repairs and renovations we perform. We believe that this increases the salability and liquidity of our portfolio.
• Our operations across 39 markets and multiple price and home types allow us to benefit from significant diversification effects. Individual buyers and sellers or local operators are exposed to price and behavioral effects that are associated with specific markets or home segments. Our scale and diverse coverage allow us to mitigate such exposures across a wider range of markets and home segments so that our overall risk per home decreases as we increase the breadth of markets, price points and home types that we operate in.
We will continue to make substantial investments in our pricing systems and risk management functions.
Inventory Financing
Our business model is working capital intensive and inventory financing is a key enabler of our growth. We rely on our access to non-recourse asset-backed financing facilities, which consist of senior credit facilities and asset-backed mezzanine term debt facilities, to finance our home acquisitions. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt and Financing Arrangements. ”
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to our results of operations below, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
These measures have limitations as analytical tools when assessing our operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, including gross profit and net income. We may calculate or present our non-GAAP financial measures differently than other companies who report measures with similar titles and, as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures we report may not be comparable with those of companies in our industry or in other industries.
Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit and Contribution Profit After Interest
To provide investors with additional information regarding our margins and return on inventory acquired, we have included Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit and Contribution Profit After Interest, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit and Contribution Profit After Interest are useful financial measures for investors as they are supplemental measures used by management in evaluating unit level economics and our operating performance in our key markets. Each of these measures is intended to present the economics related to homes sold during a given period. We do so by including revenue generated from homes sold (and adjacent services) in the period and only the expenses that are directly attributable to such home sales, even if such expenses were recognized in prior periods, and excluding expenses related to homes that remain in inventory as of the end of the period. Contribution Profit provides investors a measure to assess Opendoor’s ability to generate returns on homes sold during a reporting period after considering home purchase costs, renovation and repair costs, holding costs and selling costs. Contribution Profit After Interest further impacts gross profit by including interest costs attributable to homes sold during a reporting period. We believe these measures facilitate meaningful period over period comparisons and illustrate our ability to generate returns on assets sold after considering the costs directly related to the assets sold in a given period.

Adjusted Gross Profit, Contribution Profit and Contribution Profit After Interest are supplemental measures of our operating performance and have limitations as analytical tools. For example, these measures include costs that were recorded in prior periods under GAAP and exclude, in connection with homes held in inventory at the end of the period, costs required to be recorded under GAAP in the same period. These measures also exclude the impact of certain restructuring costs that are required under GAAP. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We include a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is gross profit.
Adjusted Gross Profit / Margin
We calculate Adjusted Gross Profit as gross profit under GAAP adjusted for (1) inventory impairment in the current period, (2) inventory impairment in prior periods, and (3) restructuring in cost of revenue. Inventory impairment in the current period is calculated by adding back the inventory impairment charges recorded during the period on homes that remain in inventory at period end. Inventory impairment in prior periods is calculated by subtracting the inventory impairment charges recorded in prior periods on homes sold in the current period. We define Adjusted Gross Margin as Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of revenue.
We view this metric as an important measure of business performance as it captures gross margin performance isolated to homes sold in a given period and provides comparability across reporting periods. Adjusted Gross Profit helps management assess home pricing, service fees and renovation performance for a specific resale cohort.
Contribution Profit / Margin
We calculate Contribution Profit as Adjusted Gross Profit, minus (1) holding costs incurred in the current period on homes sold during the period, (2) holding costs incurred in prior periods on homes sold in the current period, and (3) direct selling costs incurred on homes sold during the current period. The composition of our holding costs is described in the footnotes to the reconciliation table below. Contribution Margin is Contribution Profit as a percentage of revenue.
We view this metric as an important measure of business performance as it captures the unit level performance isolated to homes sold in a given period and provides comparability across reporting periods. Contribution Profit helps management assess inflows and outflows directly associated with a specific resale cohort.
Contribution Profit / Margin After Interest
We define Contribution Profit After Interest as Contribution Profit, minus interest expense under our senior credit facilities incurred on the homes sold during the period. This may include interest expense recorded in periods prior to the period in which the sale occurred. Our senior credit facilities are secured by our homes in inventory. For our senior revolving credit facilities, drawdowns are made on a per-home basis at the time of purchase and are required to be repaid at the time the homes are sold. See “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt and Financing Arrangements. ” We do not include interest expense associated with our mezzanine term debt facilities in this calculation as we do not view such facilities as reflective of our expected long term capital structure and cost of financing. Contribution Margin After Interest is Contribution Profit After Interest as a percentage of revenue.
We view this metric as an important measure of business performance. Contribution Profit After Interest helps management assess Contribution Margin performance, per above, when fully burdened with expected long-term costs of financing.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA
We also present Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to assess our underlying financial performance. These measures are also commonly used by investors and analysts to compare the underlying performance of companies in our industry. We believe these measures provide investors with meaningful period over period comparisons of our underlying performance, adjusted for certain charges that are non-recurring, non-cash, not directly related to our revenue-generating operations or not aligned to related revenue.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our operating performance and have important limitations. For example, these measures exclude the impact of certain costs required to be recorded under GAAP. These measures also include impairment costs that were recorded in prior periods under GAAP and exclude, in connection with homes held in inventory at the end of the period, impairment costs required to be recorded under GAAP in the same period. These measures could differ substantially from similarly titled measures presented by other companies in our industry or companies in other industries. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We include a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, which is net loss.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
We calculate Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as GAAP net loss adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses of stock-based compensation, derivative and warrant fair value adjustment, intangible amortization, and payroll tax on initial RSU release. It also excludes non-recurring restructuring charges, gain on lease termination, and convertible note payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest and issuance discount amortization. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) also aligns the timing of impairment charges recorded under GAAP to the period in which the related revenue is recorded in order to improve the comparability of this measure to our non-GAAP financial measures of unit economics, as described above. Our calculation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) does not currently include the tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments because our taxes and such tax effects have not been material to date.
Adjusted EBITDA
We calculated Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted Net Income (Loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, property financing and other interest expense, interest income, and income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance and the operating leverage in our business.

Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily from the sale of homes that we previously acquired from homeowners. In addition, we generate revenue from additional services we provide to both home sellers and buyers, which consists primarily of title insurance and escrow services, Buy with Opendoor, List with Opendoor and Opendoor Home Loans.
Due to the pause in home purchases following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, our inventory levels began to meaningfully decline in March 2020. We experienced sequential, quarter-over-quarter declines in revenue in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020. We resumed operations in all markets in August 2020 and have been actively rebuilding our inventory, leading to sequential growth in balances for the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first two quarters of 2021. Likewise, we returned to sequential revenue growth in the first quarter of 2021 and expect this trend to continue for the remainder of the year.
Home sales revenue from selling residential real estate is recognized when title to and possession of the property has transferred to the buyer and we have no continuing involvement with the property, which is generally the close of escrow. The amount of revenue recognized for each home sale is equal to the sale price of the home net of any concessions.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue includes the property purchase price, acquisition costs, direct costs to renovate or repair the home and real estate inventory valuation adjustments, if any. These costs are accumulated in real estate inventory during the property holding period and charged to cost of revenue under the specific identification method when the property is sold. Additionally, for our revenue other than home sales revenue, cost of revenue consists of any costs incurred in delivering the service, including associated headcount expenses such as salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation.
Other Operating Expenses
Sales, Marketing and Operations Expense
Sales, marketing and operations expense consists primarily of resale broker commissions (paid to the home buyers’ real estate agents, if applicable), resale closing costs, holding costs related to real estate inventory including utilities, property taxes and maintenance, and expenses associated with product marketing, promotions and brand-building. Sales, marketing and operations expense also includes any headcount expenses in support of sales, marketing, and real estate operations such as salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation.
General and Administrative Expense
General and administrative expense consists primarily of headcount expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for our executive, finance, human resources, legal and administrative personnel, third-party professional services fees and rent expense.
We incurred a significant increase in stock-based compensation in the first half of 2021 as a result of certain performance-based awards and historical RSUs satisfying their liquidity event vesting conditions. The increase in stock-based compensation impacts each line item within Other operating expenses. We expect stock based compensation to decline beginning in the third quarter of 2021 given that a majority of the expense related to certain performance-based awards has been recognized as of June 30, 2021.

Technology and Development Expense
Technology and development expense consists primarily of headcount expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for employees in the design, development, testing, maintenance and operation of our mobile applications, websites, tools and applications that support our products. Technology and development expense also includes amortization of capitalized software development costs.
Derivative and Warrant Fair Value Adjustment
Derivative and warrant fair value adjustment consists of unrealized and realized gains and losses as a result of marking our warrants and embedded derivatives related to the Convertible Notes to fair value at the end of each reporting period and subsequent settlement through exercise of warrants and conversion of the Convertible Notes to equity.
Interest Expense
Interest expense consists primarily of interest paid or payable and the amortization of debt discounts and debt issuance costs. Interest expense varies period over period, primarily due to fluctuations in our inventory volumes and changes in LIBOR, which impact the interest incurred on our senior revolving credit facilities (see “— Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt and Financing Arrangements ”).
We expect our overall interest expense to increase as inventory increases. Subject to market interest rate drivers, we will evaluate opportunities to reduce our borrowing costs over the long-term, including through limiting our reliance on the higher cost mezzanine term debt facilities and exploring new sources of financing.
Other Income — Net
Other income-net consists primarily of interest income from our investment in marketable securities.
Income Tax Expense
We record income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. These differences are measured using the enacted statutory tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable income for the years in which differences are expected to reverse. We recognize the effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets and liabilities to the net amount that we believe is more likely than not to be realized. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance.

Revenue
Revenue increased by $445.6 million, or 60%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes, driven by our efforts to rebuild inventory, as well as higher average revenue per home. We sold 3,481 homes during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 2,924 homes during the three months ended June 30, 2020, representing an increase of 19%, while revenue per home sold increased 35% between periods. Average resale prices were positively impacted by home price appreciation and buybox expansion.

Revenue decreased by $63.0 million, or 3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020, reflecting the decline in inventory levels in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. See “— Business Impact of COVID-19 ”. During the second quarter of 2021, we returned to pre-COVID inventory levels and revenue increased by $445.6 million or 60% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, reflecting higher sales volumes as well as higher revenue per home. We sold 5,943 homes during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 7,832 homes during the six months ended June 30, 2020, representing a decrease of 24%, while revenue per home sold increased 28% between periods. Average resale prices were positively impacted by home price appreciation and buybox expansion.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue increased by $341.4 million, or 50%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes and a 26% increase in cost of revenue per home as a result of inventory mix and buybox expansion. The increase in cost of revenue per home is consistent with the 35% increase in revenue per home.
Cost of revenue decreased by $173.2 million, or 9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. This decrease in cost of revenue was primarily attributable to lower sales volumes, offset by a 20% increase in cost of revenue per home as a result of inventory mix and buybox expansion.
Gross profit margin improved from 7.4% to 13.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively. For the same periods, Adjusted Gross Margin improved from 6.9% to 13.5%. Gross margin improvement was primarily due to a combination of healthy inventory mix, home price appreciation and the effectiveness of our inventory resale systems. In addition, we saw gains in home renovation efficiency and margins associated with adjacent services. Contribution Margin increased from 2.7% to 10.8% for the same periods, due largely to a higher Adjusted Gross Margin as well as improvements in direct selling and holding costs. See “— Non-GAAP Financial Measures .”
Gross profit margin improved from 7.3% to 13.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2021, respectively. For the same periods, Adjusted Gross Margin improved from 7.0% to 13.3%. Gross margin improvement was primarily due to a combination of healthy inventory mix, home price appreciation and the effectiveness of our inventory resale systems. In addition, we saw gains in home renovation efficiency and margins associated with adjacent services. Contribution Margin increased from 2.9% to 10.5% for the same periods, due largely to a higher Adjusted Gross Margin as well as improvements in direct selling and holding costs.

Other Operating Expenses
Sales, Marketing and Operations . Sales, marketing and operations increased by $49.3 million, or 104%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $33.4 million increase in advertising expense as we increased marketing in an effort to ramp up acquisition volumes in both existing and new markets. In addition, property holding costs increased by $6.3 million consistent with increased inventory levels and headcount expenses, including salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation increased $6.3 million consistent with the increase in headcount.
Sales, marketing and operations increased by $36.6 million, or 28%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $45.8 million increase in advertising expense as we increased marketing in an effort to ramp up acquisition volumes in both existing and new markets. In addition, stock based compensation increased $7.5 million reflecting both an increase in headcount as well as the recognition of stock based compensation beginning in the first quarter of 2021 when the February 2021 Offering satisfied the liquidity event vesting condition of certain RSUs. The increases were partially offset by a $13.6 million decrease in resale broker commissions due to lower sales volumes, lower broker commission rates, and a higher mix of institutional buyers. In addition, severance costs decreased by $6.0 million as a result of the workforce restructuring in the second quarter of 2020.
General and Administrative . General and administrative increased by $161.3 million, or 550%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Technology and Development . Technology and development increased by $7.6 million, or 45%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $5.4 million increase in stock based compensation reflecting both an increase in headcount as well as the recognition of stock based compensation beginning in the first quarter of 2021 when the February 2021 Offering satisfied the liquidity event vesting condition of certain RSUs.
Technology and development increased by $42.4 million, or 130%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Derivative and Warrant Fair Value Adjustment
Derivative and warrant fair value adjustment increased by $23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The gain for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was attributable to a decrease in the fair value of the Sponsor Warrants of $24.0 million which is primarily attributable to the decline in the Company's stock price over this period. In June 2021, we announced the redemption of all outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on July 9, 2021.
Derivative and warrant fair value adjustment increased by $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our principal sources of liquidity have historically consisted of cash generated from our operations and from financing activities. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,557.8 million, marketable securities of $200.1 million and total outstanding balances on our credit facilities and other secured borrowings of $2,289.9 million. In addition, we had undrawn borrowing capacity of $2,038.5 million under our asset-backed senior credit facilities (as described further below), of which $437.5 million is fully committed.
We have incurred losses from inception through June 30, 2021 and expect to incur additional losses for the foreseeable future. Our ability to service our debt, fund working capital, capital expenditures and business development efforts will depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to our future operating success, and obtain inventory acquisition financing on reasonable terms, which is subject to factors beyond our control, including general economic, political and financial market conditions.
We expect our working capital requirements to continue to increase in the immediate future, as we seek to increase our inventory and expand into more markets across the United States. We believe our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities together with cash we expect to generate from future operations and borrowings, will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The discussion below does not include transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2021. See “ Part I – Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 18. Subsequent Events ” for additional information regarding transactions subsequent to the balance sheet date.
Debt and Financing Arrangements
Our financing activities include short-term borrowing under our asset-backed senior revolving credit facilities, the issuance of long-term asset-backed senior and mezzanine term debt, borrowing under our mortgage repurchase financing, and new issuances of equity. Historically, we have required access to external financing resources in order to fund growth, expansion into new markets and strategic initiatives and we expect this to continue in the future. Our access to capital markets can be impacted by factors outside our control, including economic conditions.
We primarily use non-recourse asset-backed financing facilities, consisting of asset-backed senior credit facilities and asset-backed mezzanine debt facilities to provide financing for our real estate inventory purchases and renovations. Our business is capital intensive and maintaining adequate liquidity and capital resources is needed as we continue to scale and accumulate additional inventory. While there can be no assurances that these trends will continue, we have observed increased availability and engagement for this lending product across a variety of financial institutions and we have seen improved terms and an increase in our borrowing capacity over the last two years. We actively manage our relationships with multiple financial institutions and seek to optimize duration, flexibility, efficiency and cost of funds.
Our asset-backed facilities are each collateralized by a specified pool of assets, consisting of real estate inventory, restricted cash and equity interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries of Opendoor that directly or indirectly own our real estate inventory.
Our real estate-owning subsidiaries’ assets and credit generally are not available to satisfy the debts and other obligations of any other Opendoor entities except to the extent other Opendoor entities are also a party to the relevant financing arrangements. Our asset-backed financing facilities are non-recourse to Opendoor except for limited guarantees provided by an Opendoor subsidiary for certain obligations in situations involving “bad acts” by an Opendoor entity and certain other limited circumstances that are generally under our control.

Our senior credit facilities generally advance 80% to 90% of our cost basis in the underlying properties upon acquisition and our mezzanine term facilities will finance up to 100% of our cost basis in the underlying properties upon acquisition. The maximum initial advance rates for a given financed property vary by facility and generally decrease on a fixed timeline that varies by facility based on the length of time the property has been financed and any other facility-specific adjustments.

Mortgage Financing
We primarily use debt financing to fund our mortgage loan originations. In 2019 we entered into a master repurchase agreement to finance substantially all of the mortgage loans that we originate. Once our mortgage business sells a loan in the secondary mortgage market, we use the sale proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance under the repurchase facility.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by a $1,035.1 million decrease in inventory, as we substantially paused purchasing additional homes in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent health risks. The impact of the change in operating working capital was partially offset by our net loss, net of non-cash items, of $72.2 million.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, revenue, and expenses at the date of the financial statements. Generally, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions in accordance with GAAP that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We consider an accounting judgment, estimate or assumption to be critical when (1) the estimate or assumption is complex in nature or requires a high degree of judgment and (2) the use of different judgments, estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Based on this definition, critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in “ Part II – Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates ” in the Annual Report. There have been no significant changes to these critical accounting estimates during the first six months of 2021, except as noted below. In addition, we have other key accounting policies and estimates that are described in “ Part I – Item 1. Financial Statements –Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1. Description of Business and Accounting Policies ” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Public and Sponsor Warrants
On April 30, 2020, SCH consummated its initial public offering of 41,400,000 units, consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one third of one warrant exercisable for Class A common stock, at a price of $10.00 per unit. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, SCH completed the private placement of 6,133,333 warrants to SCH’s sponsor at a price of $1.50 per warrant (the “Sponsor Warrants”). Each Sponsor Warrant allows the sponsor to purchase one share of Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. As of December 31, 2020, there were 19,933,333 warrants outstanding.
The Sponsor Warrants and shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Sponsor Warrants may not be transferred, assigned, or sold until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. Additionally, the Sponsor Warrants are eligible for cash and cashless exercises, at the holder’s option, and are redeemable only if the Reference Value, as defined in the Warrant Agreement, is less than $18.00 per share. If the Sponsor Warrants are held by someone other than the sponsors and certain permitted transferees, the Sponsor Warrants will redeemable and exercisable on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
We evaluated the Public and Sponsor Warrants under ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity , and concluded that the Sponsor Warrants do not meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ equity. Specifically the exercise and settlement features for the Sponsor Warrants preclude them from being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock given that a change in the holder of the Sponsor Warrants may alter the settlement of the Sponsor Warrants. Since the holder of the instrument is not an input to a standard option pricing model, a consideration with respect to the indexation guidance, a change in the holder for the Sponsor Warrants impacting their value means the Sponsor Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s own stock. Since the Private Warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, we recorded these warrants as liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value upon the consummation of the Business Combination, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations at each reporting period. The Company concluded that the Public Warrants, which do not have the same exercise and settlement features as the Sponsor Warrants, meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders' equity.
The Public Warrants are publicly traded and thus had an observable market price . As of June 30, 2021, following the Company providing notice of redemption with respect to the Public Warrants and the Sponsor Warrants on June 9, 2021, the Company valued the Sponsor Warrants based upon their settlement value.
