ALTISOURCE® ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Luxembourg, July 25, 2013 - Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (Altisource and NASDAQ: ASPS) today reported record service revenue of $161.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 37% when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Net income attributable to Altisource was a record $30.9 million or $1.25 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 10% and 11%, respectively, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
The growth in revenue is primarily from the initial referrals on the Homeward non-Government Sponsored Enterprise (non-GSE) loans that Ocwen Financial Corporation (Ocwen) boarded onto the REALServicing® platform in the first quarter and the expansion of the Financial Services segment which is gaining traction. Altisource generally begins receiving referrals once portfolios are boarded onto the REALServicing platform. During the second quarter of 2013, the Mortgage and Technology Services segments recognized virtually no benefit from the Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap) non-GSE portfolio that is expected to board on REALServicing in the third quarter of 2013. Including Ocwens recently announced agreement to purchase $78 billion of mortgage servicing rights from OneWest Bank, FSB (OneWest), the number of non-GSE loans on which Altisource earns revenue is expected to be 65% higher in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the second quarter of 2013.
Net income increased in the second quarter of 2013 over the same period in the prior year from service revenue growth, partially offset by interest expense on the $400 million Senior Secured Term Loan ($200 million was funded in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $200 million was funded in the second quarter of 2013), intangible asset amortization expense in connection with the Homeward and ResCap fee-based business transactions and increased technology expenditures to support our growth. In addition, the Mortgage Services segment was almost fully staffed to meet the anticipated 65% higher non-GSE loan count on REALServicing in the fourth quarter of 2013 (compared to the second quarter of 2013). This 65% increase in loans with very little increase in compensation and benefits will be the major contributor to our goal of improving default related margins by seven percent by the end of this year compared to 2012.
We are encouraged by Ocwens recently announced agreement to purchase mortgage servicing rights from OneWest which, along with the ResCap portfolio, will drive meaningful default and technology related revenue growth to Altisource. Given the traction we see in our strategic initiatives along with Ocwens ability to acquire additional mortgage servicing rights, Altisources long term growth prospects are very bright, said Chairman William Erbey.
William Shepro, Chief Executive Officer, further commented We expect earnings for the second half of 2013 and full year 2014 to be very strong as we begin to benefit from the ResCap and OneWest non-GSE servicing portfolio referrals and the higher margin Homeward referrals. We also remain intensely focused on margin improvement and believe we are making good progress toward accomplishing the seven percent margin improvement in our default related businesses by the end of the year.
Second quarter 2013 business performance highlights include:
· On April 12, 2013, Altisource completed the ResCap fee-based businesses transaction with Ocwen for an aggregate purchase price of $128.8 million;
· The average number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing totaled 1.0 million loans in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 0.8 million loans in the second quarter of 2012;
· Based on portfolio acquisitions announced by Ocwen, Altisource anticipates that Ocwen will board approximately 619 thousand additional non-GSE loans on REALServicing by the end of 2013, less service transfers and run-off;
· Altisource Residential Corporation (Residential) had a portfolio of 1,372 loans and real estate owned (REO) at the end of the second quarter of 2013. Additionally, Residential announced acquisitions totaling $470.0 million in unpaid principal balance that are expected to close in the third quarter of 2013;
· In May, Altisource borrowed an additional $200 million under the amended Senior Secured Term Loan agreement to fund the remaining transaction consideration related to the ResCap fee-based businesses, common stock repurchases and general corporate purposes, including potential acquisitions; and
· Altisource acquired 313 thousand shares of its common stock during the quarter at an average price of $94.49 per share.
Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue was 43% and 44% for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross margins were impacted by Mortgage Services higher staffing levels to support the 619 thousand loans we anticipate boarding over the next 6 months, higher costs in the Technology Services segment as Altisource continues to invest in the development of the next generation technology to support its growth initiatives and revenue mix. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, Altisource had disproportionately high growth in the lower margin property inspection and preservation business principally from the Homeward acquisition. The decline in margins was partially offset by the expansion of the higher margin mortgage charge-off business.
