Altisource Residential Corporation Reports First Quarter 2015 Results
CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, May 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Altisource Residential Corporation (“Residential” or the “Company”) (NYSE: RESI) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2015. Net income totaled $12.4 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015 compared to net income of $41.9 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014.
Residential also reported estimated taxable income of $21.7 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to taxable income of $25.8 million for the first quarter of 2014.
2015 highlights to date:
• | Declared and paid dividends of $0.63 per share, including an $0.08 per share catch up dividend related to 2014 taxable income. |
• | Entered into a new asset management agreement with Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”) that positions Residential for sustainable growth. |
• | Established a new $100.0 million loan facility to finance REO assets. |
• | Renewed the repurchase facility with Credit Suisse to increase the funding capacity from $225 million to $275 million with increased REO sublimits. |
• | Appointed two new mortgage servicers and arranged for the transfer of approximately $1 billion of servicing to the new servicers. |
• | Resolved an aggregate of 1,069 mortgage loans. |
• | Increased rental portfolio to 785 properties as of April 30, 2015, including 655 rented properties. |
“In the first quarter of 2015, we renegotiated Residential’s management agreement with AAMC on favorable terms for Residential and made substantial progress on transferring servicing to new servicers,” said President George Ellison. “I believe these are critically important achievements. Despite their negative impact on first quarter results, I believe they will lower our long-term cost of capital and put the Company on a strong foundation to return to growth. As a result, beginning in April we were able to strengthen our financial position by renewing and expanding our financing facilities.”
Webcast and conference call
The Company will host a webcast and conference call on Thursday, May 7, 2015, at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its financial results for the first quarter of 2015.

Non-GAAP measures - Estimated REIT taxable income
Estimated REIT taxable income is a measure that we use in connection with monitoring our compliance with certain REIT requirements. Estimated REIT taxable income should never be considered as an alternative to net income or net income per share as indicators of our operating performance.
