For the first quarter of the year, Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:RKT) is targeting to generate $2.6 billion to $2.8 billion in revenues, or an implied growth of 151 percent to 170 percent from $1.037 billion in the same quarter last year.

Starting this first quarter, Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:RKT) would also reclassify as a direct expense its warehouse interest on loans held for sale from a contra-revenue account.

“This change will increase both our reported revenue and expenses and does not impact our net income or cash flow. The guidance range includes $150 million from this reclassification,” it said.
