FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT:
This presentation contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All
statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation, including, without
limitation, statements regarding the assumptions we make about our business and economic model, our
dividend policy, including expected yields, business strategy and other plans and objectives for our future
operations, are forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks
and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We have included important factors in
the cautionary statements made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, particularly under the headings “Risk
Factors”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,”
that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by
the forward looking statements that we make in this presentation. In light of the significant uncertainties in
these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty
by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all.
Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements to reflect new information or future events or otherwise.
NON-GAAP MEASURES:
In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”), this presentation also contains references to cash generated available for distribution, servicing
revenue and servicing expense,
which are non-GAAP performance measures. We believe these non-GAAP
performance measures may provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results
in prior periods. Non-GAAP performance measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an
alternative for, the Company’s reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

Ocwen Contract Ties Servicing
Fees to Advance Ratio
Scheduled step-downs in the retained fee and advance ratio
Fee split constructed to achieve a targeted yield at HLSS
Retained fees are servicing fees net of subservicing expenses paid to Ocwen
If the advance ratio is exceeded in any month, the performance-based incentive fee is
reduced at the annual rate of 5.33% on excess servicing advances


Fixed Rate Financing Stabilizes
Earnings
($ in Millions)
Financing costs have decreased as
lenders have come to recognize the credit
quality and stability of HLSS’s assets
Decreased financing costs have
contributed to increased earnings
HLSS seeks to lock-in interest expense by
financing servicing advances under fixed
rate ABS notes with terms up to 5-years
Additional variable funding note

to hedge interest rate exposure
Each acquisition is an opportunity to

This analysis is based on results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  Results for prior periods and the estimated adjustments are not necessarily indicative of results or the impact of adjustments for future periods.
1
Increase in Interest Expense” reflects estimated increase in borrowing cost to finance higher Servicing Advances assuming no changes in interest rates or prepayment speeds. “Equity Yield on Advance Haircut”
reflects the foregone earnings (based on current earnings yield) resulting from the reduction in income-earning MSR assets as more capital is invested in the equity component of Servicing Advances. “Reduction
in Subservicing Fee” reflects the amount the Performance Fee (a component of the Subservicing Fee) would be reduced pursuant to arrangements in place.
2
“Increase in Interest Expense” reflects impact of rate increase on variable rate borrowing on Servicing Advances based on the current note structure and assumes no change in asset values. “Increase in Interest
Income“ reflects the increase in interest earned on reserve accounts and corporate cash. “Realized Gain on LIBOR Swaps” is based on swaps in place during Q1 2013 and assumes hedge accounting;  it does not
include the change in swap deposits.


15
Equity and Debt Yields
Note: Earnings yields based on annualized per-share earnings guidance of $0.325 (Q1 2012 earnings transcript), $0.325 (Q2 2012 earnings transcript), $0.385 (Q3 2012
earnings transcript), $0.405 (11/15/2012 press release), $0.425 (Q4 2012 earnings transcript) and $0.455 (Q1 2013 earnings transcript); calculation at a given date
contains most recent guidance divided by the share price.
Debt yields based on the most recent, 3-year BBB-rated servicing advance securitization at each respective date. Current implied yield point based on interpolation of
recently priced 2-year BBB-rated and 4-year BBB-rated servicing advance securitizations. 
Prospective purchasers should not place undue reliance on expectations or guidance shown above, and the presentation of guidance and results from prior periods should
not be regarded as a representation that similar or better results will be achieved in future periods.
