Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Interest Rate Lock Commitments The Company entered into interest rate lock commitments with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rate to the borrower. These commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value. See “Note 5 — Derivative Instruments” for more information. Lease Commitments The Company has entered into various non-cancelable operating lease agreements for certain of its office space. See “Note 10 — Leases” for further discussion. Legal Matters From time to time, the Company may be subject to potential liability relating to the ownership and operations of the Company’s properties. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. There are various claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business pending against the Company, some of which seek damages and other relief which, if granted, may require future cash expenditures. In addition, from time to time the Company receives inquiries and audit requests from various government agencies and fully cooperates with these requests. The Company does not believe that it is reasonably possible that the resolution of these matters would result in any liability that would materially affect the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition except as noted below. The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) began conducting an investigation into the Company in August 2019. The inquiry related primarily to statements in the Company's advertising and website comparing selling homes to the Company with selling homes in a traditional manner using an agent and relating to statements that the Company’s offers reflect or are based on market prices. The Company began discussing resolution of this matter with the FTC in December 2020. After extensive negotiations, the Company agreed to enter into a consent order resolving all aspects of the inquiry, which became final on October 21, 2022. Pursuant to the consent order, the Company did not admit to any wrongdoing and is required to possess competent and reliable supporting data prior to making statements regarding the costs, savings, repair costs, or financial benefits of Company services related to assisting consumers selling homes. The consent order also required that the Company pay $62 million to the FTC (an amount previously accrued) and that the Company retain certain records and submit a compliance report to the FTC. The $62 million fine was paid in October 2022. On October 7, 2022 and November 22, 2022, purported securities class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, captioned Alich v. Opendoor Technologies Inc., et al. (Case No. 2:22-cv-01717-JFM) (“Alich”) and Oakland County Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association, et al. v. Opendoor Technologies Inc., et al. (Case No. 2:22-cv-01987-GMS) (“Oakland County”), respectively. The complaints name as defendants the Company, certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors, the underwriters of two securities offerings the Company made in 2021, and a selling shareholder, SVF Excalibur (Cayman) Limited. The complaints allege that the Company and certain officers violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5, and that the Company, certain officers and directors, the underwriters, and SVF violated Section 11 and/or Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act, in each case by making materially false or misleading statements related to the effectiveness of the Company’s pricing algorithm. The plaintiffs also allege that certain defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 15 of the Securities Act, respectively, which provide for control person liability. The complaints assert claims on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased, or otherwise acquired, Company common stock between December 21, 2020 and September 16, 2022 or pursuant to offering documents issued in connection with our business combination with SCH and the secondary public offerings conducted by the Company in February 2021 and September 2021. The plaintiffs seek class certification, an award of unspecified compensatory damages, an award of interest and reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. We believe that the allegations in the complaints are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in the matter.
