Question: Dan Dolev - Mizuho Securities USA LLC - Analyst
: Amazing quarter. I mean you're really crushing it. You obviously crushed all of our expectations. So maybe a question for you, Michael, and
Mike, what is either of you most excited about in the business right now? Because there seems to be so many moving parts and so many
great things. Kind of I think investors want to know what's the most exciting thing for you guys. And great results again.
Question: James Yarrow - The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. - Analyst
: Also congrats on the IPO as well as on the strong results coming out of the gate here. I'd love to just touch on your product road map. What's
the order of prioritization of your products from here? And then maybe if you could comment on the TAM and profitability of those top few
products? And what do you see as being meaningful to results among these new products over the next, let's say, two to three years?
Question: James Yarrow - The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. - Analyst
: Super helpful. Maybe if you could just perhaps touch on the Figure Connect outlook. 46% of your volume on our estimates came from
Connect this past quarter, which was better than at least we had anticipated. How do you think about the -- what that could comprise and
over what time frame?
Question: Patrick Moley - Piper Sandler - Analyst
: Congrats on the IPO. So you saw really impressive partner growth in the quarter. So I was hoping you could elaborate on that. Can you help
us get a better sense for the composition of those new partners in terms of size and the types of loans you'd expect them to be originating.
And then how should we think about the time that it's going to take for those new partners to reach what you'd expect to be kind of a realistic
run rate from them?
Question: Brian Tomasello - Keefe, Bruyette & Woods - Analyst
: Congrats on the strong quarter out of the gate. I wanted to ask about Democratize Prime and YLDS. If you could just discuss the strategies
you're leaning into to drive adoption there. I think one of the opportunities, it sounds like you've alluded to in the past is given the ecosystem
you have, the possibility of promoting some incentives to existing origination partners as well as the underlying consumer borrowers to
jump-start usage of those products. So if you can just elaborate on what the strategy is there?
Question: Brian Tomasello - Keefe, Bruyette & Woods - Analyst
: Great. Appreciate all that color. And then in terms of the value proposition of tokenization, you've clearly demonstrated that within the
consumer credit asset class thus far. But if you're able to give us just your general thoughts on what you see that value proposition being

for tokenized equities given the stronger liquidity and transparency in that asset class at least relative to consumer credit. So what are the
additional benefits you see being unlocked from tokenization there?
Question: Robert Wildhack - Autonomous Research LLP - Analyst
: Just a quick one to start. I appreciate the comments on seasonality. Do you think we should expect the quarter-over-quarter cadence in
2025 to reflect what happened in 2024? Or are there any differences that we should be aware of this year? And then same question heading
into 2026.
Question: Robert Wildhack - Autonomous Research LLP - Analyst
: Okay. And then bigger picture, you guys have really emphasized the lower cost to originate and faster time to close as big advantages. I
think this quarter, we've seen or heard several other fintech's either growing in or expanding their own HELOC businesses, some even with
automated appraisals, income verification, things like that.
So I was hoping you could talk a bit more about the sources of your advantage like how much of the better Figure process comes from the
blockchain-based infrastructure versus maybe more traditional tech improvements? Because I think the extent to which it's the former could
matter a lot for your defensibility there.
Question: Dan Fannon - Jefferies Financial Group Inc. - Analyst
: I wanted to discuss the outlook for the non-HELOC loan growth. I think it was roughly $80 million in the quarter. Can you talk about how
you see that progressing as the products expand? And which of the products you mentioned in the release were really -- was there an
outsized driver of those loans?

Question: Dan Fannon - Jefferies Financial Group Inc. - Analyst
: Great. And as a follow-up, you mentioned the government shutdown as being a catalyst for some SMBs joining. Can you talk about just the
outlook for new origination partners given the strength we saw in the ads in the third-quarter and maybe how you're seeing those conversations
in the outlook in terms of potential additions over the next several quarters.
Question: Craig Siegenthaler - Bank of America - Analyst
: So a follow-up on Dan's first question. On the first lien growth, is that a first lien HELOC? Or is that a first lien primary? And then I wanted to
get an update on your appetite to expand outside of HELOC because I saw you referenced debt service covenant ratio loans in your
prepared remarks. I think that's a pretty small TAM, but I'm wondering what about resident transition loans, auto loans and also primary first
liens, non HELOCs. Could we see Figure move into some of these other potentially larger TAM segments in the future?
Question: Craig Siegenthaler - Bank of America - Analyst
: For a follow-up again on HELOC. I wanted to hear a little more details on your value proposition for large banks especially large banks that
originate and hold HELOCs on their balance sheet, they might not receive the full value of the Figure Connect value proposition. And also
with large banks, is it a headwind that you're really only offering capabilities in one lending segment because they might want solutions
across all the consumer loan classes that they play in.
