ALTISOURCE ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Luxembourg, March 11, 2021 - Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASPS), a leading provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2020.
“2020 was a very challenging year for Altisource. To address our challenges, we focused on aggressively reducing costs and simplifying the organization. We have two strong core businesses – origination and default. 2020 revenue in our origination business grew by 47%(3), excluding our construction risk mitigation business that was impacted by the pandemic, and is forecasted to grow by 60% to $99 million in 2021. Our countercyclical default business was adversely impacted by the pandemic, creating what we believe is a massive backlog of business that we should begin to benefit from at the start of 2022 after the pandemic-related foreclosure moratoriums and forbearance plans expire. We anticipate strong default related revenue growth in 2022 with an acceleration in the second half of 2023 when post-moratorium foreclosure starts convert to foreclosure auctions and REO sales. The 2023 acceleration should position us to grow default related revenue by 120% to 260% compared to our 2021 plan of $110 million assuming delinquency rates are between pre-pandemic and December 2020 levels,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William B. Shepro.
Mr. Shepro further commented, “We believe we have the right solutions to help improve outcomes for our customers and continue the strong growth trajectory in our origination related businesses in 2021 and return to growth in our default related businesses in 2022.”
2020 Highlights(2)
Corporate and Financial:
Ended 2020 with $58.3 million of cash and cash equivalents
Ended 2020 with $188.9 million of net debt
Sold the Company’s remaining 3.5 million Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) shares for net proceeds of $46.6 million and used the net proceeds to repay a portion of our Senior Secured Term Loan
Business Highlights:
The Company’s 2020 financial performance was negatively impacted by:
Temporary servicer and government COVID-19 related measures to provide financial support to borrowers (i.e., foreclosure and eviction moratoriums and borrower forbearance plans), partially offset by growth in our origination business
One of Ocwen Financial Corporation’s (together with its subsidiaries, “Ocwen”) MSR investors directed it to transition field services, title and valuation referrals to that investor’s captive vendors; we believe the transition of these referrals is largely complete(6)
Service revenue from customers other than Ocwen, New Residential Investment Corp. (“NRZ”) and RESI grew by 9% in 2020 compared to 2019; this reflects 47%(3) growth from our origination business, excluding our construction risk mitigation business that was impacted by the pandemic, partially offset by the negative impact of COVID-19 on our default business
1


The Company’s customer base continues to develop and grow increasing the potential backlog of default related business which we anticipate will begin to be available to us in 2022 when we forecast that the default market returns to a more normal operating environment
The Company has a robust unweighted sales pipeline(5) of approximately $220 million
To address lower revenue in the default business, the Company aggressively reduced cash costs and simplified the organization; cash operating costs (other than outside fees and services, severance and fourth quarter 2020 bonus accrual reversals) were $12 million lower in the fourth quarter 2020 compared to the fourth quarter 2019
2021 and 2022 Outlook
The midpoint of the Company’s updated 2021 operating plan targets $210 million of service revenue, $54 million of adjusted EBITDA before corporate and common costs and a $10 million adjusted EBITDA loss after corporate and common costs
This operating plan reflects the Company’s anticipated reduction in corporate and common costs from approximately $93 million in 2020 to $64 million in 2021, positioning it to improve adjusted EBITDA margins when the Company returns to revenue growth
For the first time since 2009, Altisource is forecasting that it will generate a greater percentage of revenue from customers other than Ocwen and NRZ
Preliminarily, the Company forecasts 2022 revenue of approximately $270 million to $290 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $25 million to $30 million
The Company anticipates entering 2022 in a strong position based upon the structural changes that it is making to its cost base, momentum in the origination businesses and the 2022 return to growth in the default businesses
In addition to the usual uncertainty associated with forward looking statements, the current COVID-19 pandemic makes it extremely difficult to predict the future state of the economy and delinquency rates and its potential impact on Altisource
2020 Financial Results
Full Year 2020
Service revenue of $347.3 million
Loss before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $(57.7) million
Adjusted pretax loss attributable to Altisource(4) of $(22.0) million
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)(4) of $10.2 million
Net loss attributable to Altisource of $(67.2) million, or $(4.31) per diluted share
Adjusted net loss attributable to Altisource(4) of $(29.1) million, or $(1.87) per diluted share
Fourth Quarter 2020
Service revenue of $57.7 million
Loss before income taxes and non-controlling interests of $(3.7) million
Adjusted pre-tax loss attributable to Altisource(4) of $(15.0) million
Adjusted EBITDA(4) of $(7.3) million
Net loss attributable to Altisource of $(7.2) million, or $(0.46) per diluted share
Adjusted net loss attributable to Altisource(4) of $(17.2) million, or $(1.10) per diluted share
2020 service revenue of $347.3 million was 44% lower than 2019, primarily from COVID-19 pandemic related foreclosure and eviction moratoriums and borrower forbearance plans, an MSR investor’s instructions to Ocwen to transition field services, title and valuation referrals historically provided to Altisource to the MSR investor’s captive vendors, a higher percentage of a customer’s homes sold at the foreclosure auction (this reduces our REO auction, brokerage, field services and title service revenue) and the 2019 sale, discontinuation and exit from certain businesses, partially offset by an increase(3) in revenue from customers other than Ocwen, NRZ and RESI.
Fourth quarter 2020 service revenue of $57.7 million was 56% lower than the fourth quarter 2019, primarily for the reasons discussed above.
2020 loss before income taxes and non-controlling interests was $(57.7) million compared to $12.4 million in 2019, primarily from the impact of revenue declines discussed above, a $17.8 million gain on the sale of business during 2019 and lower unrealized gains on our investment in RESI of $4.0 million in 2020 compared to $14.4 million in 2019, partially offset by

lower outside fees and services from lower referral volumes and lower selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, which include the benefits of our cost reduction initiatives, and lower interest expense.
2020 adjusted pretax loss attributable to Altisource(4) of $(22.0) million was 171% lower than 2019, primarily from the impact of revenue declines discussed above, partially offset by lower outside fees and services from lower referral volumes and lower SG&A expenses, which include the benefits of our cost reduction initiatives, and lower interest expense.
Fourth quarter 2020 loss before income taxes and non-controlling interests was $(3.7) million compared to $(8.5) million in the fourth quarter 2019, primarily from higher unrealized gain on our investment in RESI of $16.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to an unrealized gain of $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, lower outside fees and services from lower referral volumes and lower SG&A expenses, which include the benefits of our cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by lower revenue as discussed above.
Fourth quarter 2020 adjusted pretax (loss) income attributable to Altisource(4) of $(15.0) million was 328% lower than the fourth quarter 2019, primarily from the impact of revenue declines discussed above, partially offset by the benefits of our cost reduction initiatives.
2020 adjusted EBITDA(4) of $10.2 million was lower than 2019 adjusted EBITDA(4) of $70.8 million primarily from lower adjusted pretax (loss) income(4) discussed above.
Fourth quarter 2020 adjusted EBITDA(4) of $(7.3) million was lower than fourth quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA(4) of $15.6 million primarily from lower adjusted pretax (loss) income(4) discussed above.
2020 diluted loss per share was $(4.31) compared to a diluted loss per share of $(19.26) in 2019. Diluted loss per share includes certain non-cash income tax expense items totaling $3.1 million and $311.2 million for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The 2019 items include a full valuation allowance on the Company’s Luxembourg net deferred tax assets, the impact of a change in the Luxembourg income tax rate and adjustments to foreign income tax reserves. Because the Company has cumulative losses in Luxembourg for the past three years, a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets was recognized. The full year non-cash income tax provision of $8.6 million also reflects a change in the Luxembourg statutory income tax rate from 26.0% to 24.9% and adjustments to foreign income tax reserves.
2020 adjusted diluted loss per share(4) was $(1.87) compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.34 for 2019, primarily from lower adjusted pretax income attributable to Altisource(4) discussed above.
Fourth quarter 2020 diluted loss per share was $(0.46) compared to a diluted loss per share of $(19.66) in the fourth quarter 2019. Fourth quarter 2019 net loss includes certain non-cash income tax expense items totaling $298.9 million. These items include a full valuation allowance on the Company’s Luxembourg net deferred tax assets and adjustments to foreign income tax reserves discussed above.
Fourth quarter 2020 adjusted loss per share(4) was $(1.10) compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.26 for the fourth quarter 2019, primarily from lower adjusted pretax income attributable to Altisource(4) discussed above.

Adjusted operating (loss) income, pretax (loss) income attributable to Altisource, adjusted pretax (loss) income attributable to Altisource, adjusted net (loss) income attributable to Altisource, adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), adjusted cash flows from operating activities, adjusted cash flows from operating activities less additions to premises and equipment and net debt less investment in equity securities, which are presented elsewhere in this earnings release, are non-GAAP measures used by management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information to measure Altisource’s performance and do not purport to be alternatives to (loss) income from operations, (loss) income before income taxes and non-controlling interests, net loss attributable to Altisource, diluted loss per share, cash flows from operating activities and long-term debt, including current portion, as measures of Altisource’s performance. We believe these measures are useful to management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information in evaluating operating profitability and cash flow generation more on the basis of continuing cost and cash flows as they exclude amortization expense related to acquisitions that occurred in prior periods and non-cash share-based compensation expense and/or depreciation expense, financing expense and income taxes, as well as the effect of more significant non-operational items from earnings, cash flows from operating activities and long-term debt net of cash on-hand and investment in equity securities. We believe these measures are also useful in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. Furthermore, we believe the exclusion of more significant non-operational items enables comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis.
It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance the understanding of Altisource’s GAAP financial information, and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. The non-GAAP financial information should not be unduly relied upon.
Adjusted operating (loss) income is calculated by removing intangible asset amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, Pointillist losses, third quarter 2020 cost saving initiatives, loss on BRS portfolio sale, gain on sale of business, sales tax net accrual (reimbursement) and goodwill and intangible and other assets write-off from business exits from (loss) income from operations. Pretax (loss) income attributable to Altisource is calculated by removing non-controlling interests from (loss) income before income taxes and non-controlling interests. Adjusted pretax (loss) income attributable to Altisource is calculated by removing non-controlling interests, intangible asset amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, Pointillist losses, unrealized gain on investment in equity securities, third quarter 2020 cost saving initiatives, loss on BRS portfolio sale, gain on sale of business, sales tax net accrual (reimbursement) and goodwill and intangible and other assets write-off from business exits from (loss) income before income taxes and non-controlling interests. Adjusted net (loss) income attributable to Altisource is calculated by removing intangible asset amortization expense (net of tax), share-based compensation expense (net of tax), restructuring charges (net of tax), Pointillist losses (net of tax), unrealized gain on investment in equity securities (net of tax), third quarter 2020 cost saving initiatives (net of tax), loss on BRS portfolio sale (net of tax), gain on sale of business (net of tax), sales tax net accrual (reimbursement) (net of tax), goodwill and intangible and other assets write-off from business exits (net of tax) and certain income tax items relating to adjustments to foreign income tax reserves, the Luxembourg deferred tax asset including an increase in the valuation allowance in 2019, an income tax rate changes in Luxembourg, India and the United States, from net loss attributable to Altisource. Adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to Altisource after removing intangible asset amortization expense (net of tax), share-based compensation expense (net of tax), restructuring charges (net of tax), Pointillist losses (net of tax), unrealized gain on investment in equity securities (net of tax), third quarter 2020 cost saving initiatives (net of tax), loss on BRS portfolio sale (net of tax), gain on sale of business (net of tax), sales tax net accrual (reimbursement) (net of tax), goodwill and intangible and other assets write-off from business exits (net of tax) and certain income tax related items described above by the weighted average number of diluted shares. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the income tax provision, interest expense (net of interest income), depreciation and amortization, intangible asset amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, Pointillist losses, unrealized gain on investment in equity securities, third quarter 2020 cost saving initiatives, loss on BRS portfolio sale, gain on sale of business, sales tax accrual (reimbursement),and goodwill and intangible and other assets write-off from business exits from net loss attributable to Altisource. Adjusted cash flows from operating activities is calculated by removing the decrease in short-term investments in real estate and payment of sales tax accrual from cash flows from operating activities. Adjusted cash flows from operating activities less additions to premises and equipment is calculated by removing the decrease in short-term investments in real estate, payment of sales tax accrual and additions to premises and equipment from cash flows from operating activities.
