ALTISOURCE ANNOUNCES STRONG SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

 

Luxembourg, July 23, 2015 - Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASPS) today reported strong sequential quarter growth of service revenue, net income attributable to shareholders and diluted earnings per share.

 

Second Quarter 2015 Results Compared to First Quarter 2015 and Second Quarter 2014:

 

·                  Service revenue of $236.6 million, a 14% increase compared to the first quarter 2015 and a 10% decrease compared to the second quarter 2014

·                  Net income attributable to Altisource of $46.0 million compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter 2015 and $54.1 million in the second quarter 2014

·                  Adjusted net income attributable to Altisource(1) of $54.2 million compared to $11.8 million in the first quarter 2015 and $63.6 million in the second quarter 2014

·                  Diluted earnings per share of $2.22 compared to $0.18 in the first quarter 2015 and $2.24 in the second quarter 2014

·                  Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) of $2.62 compared to $0.56 in the first quarter 2015 and $2.63 in the second quarter 2014

·                  Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities of $70.7 million compared to $(15.9) million in the first quarter 2015 and $75.2 million in the second quarter 2014

 

“Altisource had a very strong quarter, marking the third highest service revenue quarter and the second highest net income quarter in the Company’s history.  I am very proud of our team that came together over the last two quarters to align the Company’s costs with our revenue, accomplishing the objectives we established in the fourth quarter of last year.  Our sales and marketing efforts are also yielding results.  We are winning new engagements, one of which is to manage the REO and provide certain pre-foreclosure services to a top ten bank. Further, our sales pipeline is strong, and we are in varying stages of discussions with larger prospects,” said William B. Shepro, Chief Executive Officer.

 

Second quarter 2015 highlights include:

 

·                  The number of houses sold on Hubzu for customers other than Ocwen was 1,168 for the second quarter 2015, a 33% increase compared to the first quarter 2015 and 39 times higher than the second quarter 2014

·                  The average number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing was 2.2 million for the second quarter 2015, a 9% decrease compared to the first quarter 2015 and a 4% decrease compared to the second quarter 2014

 


(1)  This is a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure on page 6.

·                  The Company repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock at an average price of $28.57 per share

·                  The Company repurchased a portion of the senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9% discount and net income included an after-tax gain of $1.0 million on the early retirement of debt

·                  Net income included an after-tax gain of $6.9 million from the reversal of Equator related contingent consideration in connection with a $0.5 million payment to the former owners of Equator to extinguish any future earn out liability

·                  Subsequent to the close of the second quarter, we acquired CastleLine Holdings, LLC, a specialty risk management and insurance services firm.  The acquisition aligns with Altisource’s strategy to continue helping the mortgage banking industry safely and securely increase production while reducing costs and mitigating risks

NON-GAAP MEASURES

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

 

Adjusted net income attributable to Altisource and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures used by management, existing shareholders and potential shareholders to measure Altisource’s performance.  Adjusted net income attributable to Altisource is calculated by adding amortization of intangible assets (net of tax) to GAAP net income attributable to Altisource.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Altisource plus amortization of intangible assets (net of tax) by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding.  Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are as follows:
