ALTISOURCE ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

Luxembourg, Luxembourg, 25 October 2012

 

Altisource™ (NASDAQ: ASPS) today reported net income attributable to Altisource of $27.0 million or $1.08 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase in net income and diluted earnings per share from the three months ended September 30, 2011 of 57% and 61%, respectively.  Service revenue was $118.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a 38% increase when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

The increase in net income is primarily from stronger service revenue growth in the higher margin Mortgage Services segment relative to the other segments.  This was driven by the servicing portfolio growth experienced by the Company’s largest customer, Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”), and the Company’s expanded capture rate of default related business on the portfolio.

 

Third quarter highlights include:

 

·                  Average number of loans serviced by Ocwen® on the REALServicing® platform was 0.8 million for the quarter

 

·                  Cash flows from operations for the quarter were $43.1 million representing $0.36 for each dollar of service revenue

 

·                  The consumer real estate portal was relaunched under the new HubzuTM brand; over 6,000 REO assets were sold through Hubzu during the quarter

 

·                  Origination related service revenue increased 69% to $10.1 million in the quarter compared to the third quarter of 2011

 

·                  On October 3, 2012, Ocwen announced its agreement to acquire Homeward Residential Holdings Inc. from WL Ross & Co. LLC

 

·                  On October 24, 2012, Ocwen and Walter Investment Management Corp. announced they were jointly awarded the highest and best bid for the Mortgage Servicing and Origination platform assets of Residential Capital, LLC

 

·                  Altisource Residential Corporation and Altisource Asset Management Corporation filed Form 10s with the Securities Exchange Commission in September 2012

Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue remained constant at 42% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Margin improvement in the Mortgage Services segment was offset by higher costs in the Technology Services segment as the Company continues to invest in the development of its next generation technology.

 

Income from operations as a percentage of service revenue improved to 26% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 25% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as selling, general and administrative costs are growing at a slower pace than service revenue.
