Altisource Asset Management Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Results

FREDERIKSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, March 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: AAMC) announced today financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2014. Net income attributable to stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $21.9 million, or $7.92 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to stockholders of $0.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net income attributable to stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2014 totaled $59.7 million, or $21.07 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to stockholders of $5.3 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Chief Executive Officer George Ellison stated, “I am excited about the prospects of AAMC and look forward to accelerating the growth of Residential and developing additional clients for AAMC.”

Fourth quarter 2014 highlights:

Accrued incentive management fees from Residential of $23.8 million as a result of the $0.55 per share dividend declared by Residential to its shareholders including $4.3 million of accrued incentive fees based on a potential post-year end special dividend by Residential intended to distribute 100% of its 2014 REIT taxable income.
Managed the completion of Residential’s second non-performing loan securitization transaction in November 2014.
Facilitated Residential’s realization of net proceeds from asset dispositions of $98.6 million representing an unlevered gain of 29%.
Managed Residential's acquisition of 287 NPLs and real estate owned properties having an aggregate market value of $46.7 million.

Full year 2014 highlights:

Earned incentive management fees of $67.9 million.
Managed Residential’s resolution of an aggregate of 4,923 mortgage loans, including 3,682 REO conversions, in 2014 versus 510 mortgage loans in 2013, representing an increase of 865%.
Facilitated Residential’s realization of net proceeds from asset dispositions of $233.9 million representing an unlevered gain of 31%.
Managed an increase in Residential’s maximum aggregate borrowing capacity to $1.6 billion, including securitizations, versus $750.0 million at the end of 2013.

Increased the number of properties in Residential’s rental portfolio to 653 as of February 28, 2015; renting properties at a rate of 82 per month in 2015 versus 40 per month in the second half of 2014
