ALTISOURCE ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
Luxembourg, Luxembourg, 27 October 2011
Altisource™ (NASDAQ: ASPS) today reported Net Income Attributable to Altisource of $17.2 million or $0.67 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This compares with Net Income Attributable to Altisource of $9.8 million or $0.37 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Service Revenue for the third quarter was $86.2 million, up 39% compared to the third quarter of 2010.
Third quarter highlights include:
| • | | Average loans serviced by the Company’s largest customer Ocwen® on the REALServicing® platform of 516,214 for the quarter. |
| • | | Generated cash flow from operations for the third quarter of $30.6 million representing $0.35 for every dollar of Service Revenue in the quarter. |
| • | | Acquired 644,462 shares of stock under the stock repurchase program at an average price of $35.08 in the quarter. |
| • | | Completed the investment of $15.0 million in Correspondent One S.A. |
Gross margin remained flat when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as the increase in gross margin attributable to Technology Services was offset by a decline in gross margin attributable to Mortgage Services. This was due to Mortgage Services segment’s mix of services and the build out of infrastructure to support Ocwen’s September 1, 2011 boarding of the Litton portfolio. As a result of the boarding of the Litton portfolio, Altisource delivered in the quarter a proportionately higher percentage of services to homes in pre-foreclosure. For these services, the margins are generally lower. The delivery of pre-foreclosure services, however, is a strong leading indicator of future referrals of higher margin foreclosure and asset management services.
From an operating margin perspective, margins for the total Company improved in the quarter when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011 by 300 basis points to 25% of Service Revenue. This reflects faster growth in the higher margin Mortgage Services segment as well as leveraging of the Corporate infrastructure.
For the fourth quarter, Service Revenue should continue to improve when compared to the third quarter based principally upon the expected growth in foreclosure and asset management related referrals.
