ALTISOURCE ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

 

Luxembourg, April 23, 2015 - Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource”) (NASDAQ: ASPS) today reported financial results for the first quarter 2015.

 

First Quarter 2015 Results Compared to First Quarter 2014:

 

·                  Service revenue of $207.8 million, a 1% decrease

·                  Net income attributable to Altisource of $3.7 million, a 91% decrease

·                  Adjusted net income attributable to Altisource(1) of $11.8 million, a 76% decrease

·                  Diluted earnings per share of $0.18, an 89% decrease

·                  Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) of $0.56, a 72% decrease

 

“I am pleased with our first quarter accomplishments.  Not only are we executing on our growth initiatives, we are also making good progress on the cost reduction plan we implemented during the first quarter.  First quarter 2015 net income included $13.6 million of expenses related to terminated employees and contractors and other out-of-the-ordinary items.  Absent these items, adjusted net income attributable to shareholders would have been $24.3 million.  Further, we expect to achieve higher cost savings in the second quarter from the benefit of the elimination of the data access fees, lower unit costs for outside fees and services on seasonally higher revenue and the termination of a lease on a larger facility.  As a result, we believe we are on-track to achieve the objectives we established for the year as a leaner, operational and sales focused organization,” said William B. Shepro, Chief Executive Officer.

 

First quarter 2015 highlights include:

 

·                  The average number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing® was 2.4 million for the first quarter of 2015, an increase of 27% compared to the first quarter 2014

·                  The number of houses sold through Hubzu® was 8,305 for the first quarter 2015, an increase of 24% compared to the first quarter in 2014

NON-GAAP MEASURES

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

 

Adjusted net income attributable to Altisource and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker, existing shareholders and potential shareholders to measure Altisource’s performance.  Adjusted net income attributable to Altisource is calculated by adding amortization of intangible assets (net of tax) to GAAP net income attributable to Altisource.  Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Altisource plus amortization of intangible assets (net of tax) by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding.  Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are as follows:
