Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | ' | |
Organization and basis of presentation | ' | |
Altisource Residential Corporation is a Maryland REIT focused on acquiring, owning and managing single-family rental properties throughout the United States. We acquire our rental properties primarily through the acquisition of sub-performing and non-performing mortgage loan portfolios, which is a differentiated approach that we believe strategically positions us to take advantage of market opportunities better than market participants that are solely focused on real estate-owned (“REO”) acquisitions. We conduct substantially all of our activities through our wholly owned subsidiary Altisource Residential, L.P. | ||
On December 21, 2012, which we refer to as the “separation date,” we separated from Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. | ||
("Altisource") and became a stand-alone publicly traded company through the contribution to us by Altisource of $100 million of equity capital and the distribution of our shares of common stock to the stockholders of Altisource. On the separation date, we entered into long-term service agreements with Ocwen Financial Corporation ("Ocwen"), a leading residential mortgage loan servicer, and with Altisource, a leading provider of real estate and mortgage portfolio management, asset recovery and customer relationship management services. We believe that our access to Ocwen’s servicing expertise and multifaceted resolution methodologies helps us maximize the value of our loan portfolios and provides us with a competitive advantage over other companies with a similar focus. We also believe that our relationship with Altisource and access to its nationwide vendor network enables us to competitively bid on large sub-performing or non-performing residential mortgage loan portfolios with assets dispersed throughout the United States. | ||
We are managed by Altisource Asset Management Corporation ("AAMC"). We rely on AAMC for administering our business and performing certain of our corporate governance functions. AAMC also provides portfolio management services in connection with our acquisition and management of sub-performing and non-performing loans and REO properties. AAMC was formed on March 15, 2012 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Altisource and was spun off from Altisource into a stand-alone publicly traded company concurrently with our separation from Altisource. | ||
Since we commenced operations, we have completed three public equity offerings with aggregate net proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion. On March 22, 2013, September 12, 2013 and September 23, 2013, we entered into three separate repurchase agreements to finance the acquisition and ownership of residential mortgage loans and REO properties. The maximum aggregate funding available under these repurchase agreements initially was $425.0 million. We subsequently increased the aggregate funding capacity under each repurchase agreement as follows: | ||
• | For the repurchase agreement entered into on March 22, 2013, we amended it on April 21, 2014 to initially increase the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity from $100.0 million to $200.0 million. The maturity date of the repurchase agreement was also extended to April 20, 2015, subject to an additional one-year extension with the approval of the lender. On June 11, 2014, we further amended this repurchase agreement to increase the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity from $200.0 million to $375.0 million, subject to certain sublimits, for the period from June 11, 2014 through October 11, 2014, and on October 3, 2014, we extended the increase through December 10, 2014. The aggregate borrowing capacity under the repurchase agreement will revert to $200.0 million after December 10, 2014. | |
• | The repurchase agreement dated September 12, 2013, as amended on December 18, 2013, has an aggregate funding capacity of $250.0 million and matures on March 11, 2016. This agreement includes a provision that, beginning in the nineteenth month, we will not be able to finance mortgage loans in excess of amounts outstanding under the facility at the end of the eighteenth month. | |
• | For the repurchase agreement dated September 23, 2013, we amended it on December 23, 2013 to initially increase the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity from $200.0 million to $400.0 million. On June 25, 2014, we further amended this repurchase agreement to increase the aggregate maximum borrowing capacity from $400.0 million to $1.0 billion, subject to certain sublimits. The maturity date of the repurchase agreement is March 23, 2015. We have the option to extend this agreement for an additional year with no additional funding. | |
Following these increases, the maximum aggregate funding available to us under these repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2014 was $1.7 billion, subject to certain sublimits, eligibility requirements and conditions precedent to each funding. As of September 30, 2014, an aggregate of $1.3 billion was outstanding under our repurchase agreements. All obligations under the repurchase agreements are fully guaranteed by us. | ||
On September 25, 2014, we completed a securitization transaction in which ARLP Securitization Trust, Series 2014-1 (“ARLP 2014-1”) issued $150.0 million in Class A Notes (the “Class A Notes”) with a weighted yield of approximately 3.5% and $32.0 million in Class M Notes (the “Class M Notes”) with a weighted yield of 4.25%. The Class A Notes and the Class M Notes are secured solely by the non-performing mortgage loans of ARLP 2014-1 and not by any of our other assets. The assets of ARLP 2014-1 are the only source of repayment and interest on the Class A Notes and the Class M Notes. The Class A Notes and the Class M Notes mature on September 25, 2044, and we do not guaranty any of the obligations of ARLP 2014-1 under the terms of the Indenture governing the notes or otherwise. As of September 30, 2014, the book value of the underlying securitized assets held by ARLP 2014-1 was $211.3 million. | ||
We retained all of the Class M Notes in our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). On September 30, 2014, pursuant to a master repurchase agreement, the TRS sold $15.0 million of the Class M Notes to NewSource Reinsurance Company Ltd, ("NewSource"), an entity in which we own 100% of the outstanding preferred stock and in which AAMC owns 100% of the outstanding common stock, for a purchase price of $15.0 million. The master repurchase agreement requires the TRS to repurchase the Class M Notes from NewSource at a 5.0% yield on December 28, 2014, subject to the parties’ option to extend the master repurchase agreement for an additional 89 day period. In no event can the master repurchase agreement be extended beyond September 29, 2015. | ||
We ceased to be a development stage enterprise in the second quarter of 2013. | ||
Basis of presentation and use of estimates | ||
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States which we refer to as "U.S. GAAP." All wholly owned subsidiaries are included and all intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. | ||
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information, in our opinion, contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. We have omitted certain notes and other information from the interim consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2013 annual report on Form 10-K. | ||
Loans held for sale | ||
Loans held for sale, which consist of re-performing residential mortgage loans acquired from others, are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. We do not originate loans. During the third quarter 2014, management decided to sell these re-performing loans and as such they were reclassified as loans held for sale from loans held for investment. See Note 12 - "Subsequent events" for information on our dispositions of re-performing loans subsequent to September 30, 2014. | ||
Recently issued accounting standards | ||
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-04, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. It provides that a repossession or foreclosure has occurred, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendment requires disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The amended guidance may be applied using either a prospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this amendment to have a significant effect on our financial position or results of operations since our accounting policies and disclosures are currently consistent with the requirements set forth in the amendment. | ||
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 may be applied using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect this amendment to have a significant effect on our financial position or results of operations since our accounting policies and disclosures are currently consistent with the requirements set forth in the amendment. |

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate [Abstract] | ' | |||||||||||||||||
Mortgage loans | ' | |||||||||||||||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Residential acquired an aggregate of 8,155 mortgage loans and REO properties, consisting of the following: | ||||||||||||||||||
Acquisitions of non-performing residential mortgage loans | ||||||||||||||||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we acquired an aggregate of 7,086 residential mortgage loans, substantially all of which were non-performing, and 190 REO properties having an aggregate UPB of approximately $1.9 billion and an aggregate market value of underlying properties of $1.7 billion. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was $1.1 billion. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we agreed to acquire an aggregate of 246 residential mortgage loans, substantially all of which are non-performing, with an aggregate market value of underlying properties of $29.7 million. There can be no assurance that we will complete this pending transaction in whole or in part on a timely basis or at all. | ||||||||||||||||||
Acquisition of re-performing residential mortgage loans | ||||||||||||||||||
On June 27, 2014, we acquired 879 re-performing mortgage loans with an aggregate market value of underlying properties of $271.1 million for an aggregate purchase price of $144.6 million. Under ASC 310-30, acquired loans may be aggregated and accounted for as a pool of loans if the loans being aggregated have common risk characteristics. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. These 879 re-performing residential mortgage loans were determined to have common risk characteristics and have been accounted for as a single loan pool. Under ASC 310-30, we estimate cash flows expected to be collected, adjusted for expected prepayments and defaults expected to be incurred over the life of the loan pool. We determine the excess of the loan pool's contractually required principal and interest payments over the expected cash flows as an amount that should not be accreted, the nonaccretable yield. The difference between expected cash flows and the present value of the expected cash flows is referred to as the accretable yield, which represents the amount that is expected to be recorded as interest income over the remaining life of the loan pool. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized no provision for loan loss and no adjustments to the amount of the accretable yield. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we accreted $2.5 million into interest income with respect to our re-performing loans. As of September 30, 2014, these re-performing loans, having a UPB of $204.3 million and a carrying value of $143.2 million, were held for sale. During October 2014, we sold an aggregate of 934 re-performing loans to an unrelated third party for an aggregate purchase price of $164 million. See Note 12 - "Subsequent events" for information on our dispositions of re-performing loans subsequent to September 30, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||

-1 | The remaining portion of this acquisition, consisting of 159 mortgage loans and REO properties, closed in October 2014. | |||||||||||||||||

-4 | This acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a nominal amount and $2.9 million respectively, for due diligence costs related to these and other transactions in both general and administrative expense and related party general and administrative expense. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we expensed $0.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for due diligence costs. | ||||||||||||||||||
Generally, we expect that our residential mortgage loan portfolio may grow at an uneven pace, as opportunities to acquire distressed residential mortgage loans may be irregularly timed and may involve large portfolios of loans, and the timing and extent of our success in acquiring such loans cannot be predicted. In addition, for any given portfolio of loans that we agree to acquire, we typically acquire fewer loans than originally expected, as certain loans may be resolved prior to the closing date or may fail to meet our diligence standards. The number of unacquired loans typically constitutes a relatively small portion of a particular portfolio. In some cases, the number of loans we do not acquire could be significant. In any case where we do not acquire the full portfolio, appropriate adjustments are made to the applicable purchase price. | ||||||||||||||||||
Throughout this quarterly report, all unpaid principal balance and market value amounts for the portfolios we have acquired are provided as of “cut-off date” for each transaction unless otherwise indicated. The “cut-off date” for each acquisition is a date shortly before the closing used to identify the final loans being purchased and the related unpaid principal balance, market value of underlying properties and other characteristics of the loans. | ||||||||||||||||||
Transfer of mortgage loans to real estate owned | ||||||||||||||||||
During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we transferred 1,113 and 43 mortgage loans, respectively, to REO at an aggregate fair value based on broker price opinions ("BPOs") of $189.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Such transfers occur when the foreclosure sale is complete. In connection with these transfers to REO, we recorded $38.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, in net unrealized gains on mortgage loans. | ||||||||||||||||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we transferred 2,657 and 77 mortgage loans, respectively, to REO at an aggregate fair value based on BPOs, of $410.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively. In connection with these transfers to REO, we recorded $90.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in net unrealized gains on mortgage loans. | ||||||||||||||||||
Dispositions | ||||||||||||||||||
During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we disposed of 165 and 54 mortgage loans, respectively, primarily through short sales, refinancing and foreclosure sales. In connection with these dispositions, we recorded $13.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of net realized gains on mortgage loans. | ||||||||||||||||||
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we disposed of 416 and 92 mortgage loans, respectively, primarily through short sales, refinancing and foreclosure sales. In connection with these dispositions, we recorded $33.9 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of net realized gains on mortgage loans. During October 2014, we sold 934 re-performing loans to an unrelated third party. The sale included 770 loans from the re-performing mortgage loans held for sale, purchased in the second quarter of 2014, and 164 loans that have transitioned to re-performing status from prior non-performing loan acquisitions that have a clean pay history of at least six months. See Note 12 - "Subsequent events" for information on our dispositions of re-performing loans subsequent to September 30, 2014. |

Acquisitions | |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we acquired 190 REO properties as part of our portfolio acquisitions. We acquired no REO properties during the three months ended September 30, 2014. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired 34 and 40 REO properties, respectively. The aggregate purchase price attributable to these acquired REO properties was $27.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and was $5.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. | |
Real estate held for use | |
As of September 30, 2014, we had 2,660 REO properties held for use. Of these properties, 216 had been rented, 90 were being listed for rent and 270 were in varying stages of renovation. With respect to the remaining 2,084 REO properties, we will make a final determination whether each property meets our rental profile after (a) applicable state redemption periods have expired, (b) the foreclosure sale has been ratified, (c) we have recorded the deed for the property, (d) utilities have been activated and (e) we have secured access for interior inspection. A majority of the REO properties are subject to state regulations which require us to await the expiration of a redemption period before a foreclosure can be finalized. We include these redemption periods in our portfolio pricing which generally reduces the price we pay for the mortgage loans. Once the redemption period expires, we immediately proceed to record the new deed, take possession of the property, activate utilities, and start the inspection process in order to make our final determination. As of December 31, 2013, we had 246 REO properties held for use. Of these properties, 14 had been rented, 11 were being listed for rent and 18 were in various stages of renovation. With respect to the remaining 203 REO properties, we were in the process of determining whether these properties would meet our rental profile. As of September 30, 2013, we had 100 REO properties held for use. Of these properties, five had been rented, six were being listed for rent and three were in various stages of renovation. With respect to the remaining 86 REO properties, we were in the process of determining whether these properties would meet our rental profile. If a REO property meets our rental profile, we determine the extent of renovations that are needed to generate an optimal rent and maintain consistency of renovation specifications for future branding. If we determine that the REO property will not meet our rental profile, we list the property for sale, in certain instances after renovations are made to optimize the sale proceeds. | |
Real estate held for sale | |
As of September 30, 2014, we classified 324 REO properties having an aggregate carrying value of $41.0 million as real estate held for sale as they do not meet our residential rental property investment criteria. As of December 31, 2013, we had 16 REO properties having an aggregate carrying value of $1.2 million held for sale, and as of September 30, 2013, we had 14 REO properties having an aggregate carrying value of $1.1 million held for sale. None of these REO properties have any operations; therefore, we are not presenting discontinued operations related to these properties. | |
Dispositions | |
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we disposed of 78 and 102 residential properties, respectively. We did not dispose of any residential properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In connection with the dispositions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded $3.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively, of net realized gains on real estate. |

The carrying values of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, related party receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party payables and investment in NewSource are equal to or approximate fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans is estimated using our asset manager's proprietary pricing model. The fair value of transfers of mortgage loans to real estate owned is estimated using BPOs. The fair value of re-performing mortgage loans held for sale is estimated using the present value of the future estimated principal and interest payments of the loan, with the discount rate used in the present value calculation representing the estimated effective yield of the loan. The fair value of the repurchase agreements is estimated using the income approach based on credit spreads available to us currently in the market for similar floating rate debt. The fair value of other secured borrowings is estimated using observable market data. | ||||||||||||||||

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our mortgage loans are discount rates, forecasts of future home prices, alternate loan resolution probabilities, resolution timelines and the value of underlying properties. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation could result in a significant change to the fair value measurement. A decline in the discount rate in isolation would increase the fair value. A decrease in the housing pricing index in isolation would decrease the fair value. Individual loan characteristics such as location and value of underlying collateral affect the loan resolution probabilities and timelines. An increase in the loan resolution timeline in isolation would decrease the fair value. A decrease in the value of underlying properties in isolation would decrease the fair value.

Repurchase Agreements | ||||||||||
Our operating partnership and certain of its Delaware Statutory Trust subsidiaries, as applicable, have entered into master repurchase agreements with major financial institutions. The purpose of these repurchase agreements is to finance the acquisition and ownership of mortgage loans and REO properties in our portfolio. We have effective control of the assets associated with these agreements and therefore have concluded these are financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2014, the weighted average annualized interest rate on borrowings under our repurchase agreements was 3.05%, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs.

Under the terms of each repurchase agreement, as collateral for the funds drawn thereunder, subject to certain conditions, our operating partnership will sell to the applicable lender equity interests in the Delaware statutory trust subsidiary that owns the applicable underlying mortgage assets on our behalf, or the trust will directly sell such underlying mortgage assets. In the event the lender determines the value of the collateral has decreased, the lender has the right to initiate a margin call and require us, or the applicable trust subsidiary, to post additional collateral or to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings. The price paid by the lender for each mortgage asset we finance under the repurchase agreements is based on a percentage of the market value of the mortgage asset and may depend on its delinquency status. With respect to funds drawn under the repurchase agreements, our applicable subsidiary is required to pay the lender interest based on LIBOR or at the lender’s cost of funds plus a spread calculated based on the type of applicable mortgage assets collateralizing the funding, as well as certain other customary fees, administrative costs and expenses to maintain and administer the repurchase agreements. We do not collateralize any of our repurchase facilities with cash. | ||||||||||
The repurchase agreements require us to maintain various financial and other covenants, including maintaining a minimum adjusted tangible net worth, a maximum ratio of indebtedness to adjusted tangible net worth and specified levels of unrestricted cash. In addition, the repurchase agreements contain customary events of default. We are restricted by the terms of our repurchase agreements from paying dividends greater than our REIT taxable income in a calendar year. | ||||||||||
We are currently in compliance with the covenants and other requirements with respect to the repurchase agreements. We monitor our banking partners’ ability to perform under the repurchase agreements and have concluded there is currently no reason to doubt that they will continue to perform under the repurchase agreements as contractually obligated. | ||||||||||
Other Secured Debt | ||||||||||
On September 25, 2014, we completed a securitization transaction in which ARLP 2014-1 issued $150.0 million in Class A Notes with a weighted yield of approximately 3.5% and $32.0 million in Class M Notes with a weighted yield of 4.25%. The Class A Notes and the Class M Notes are secured solely by the non-performing mortgage loans of ARLP 2014-1 and not by any of our other assets. The assets of ARLP 2014-1 are the only source of repayment and interest on the Class A Notes and the Class M Notes. The Class A Notes and the Class M Notes mature on September 25, 2044, and we do not guaranty any of the obligations of ARLP 2014-1 under the terms of the Indenture governing the notes or otherwise. As of September 30, 2014, the book value of the underlying securitized assets held by ARLP 2014-1 was $211.3 million. | ||||||||||
We retained all of the Class M Notes in our TRS. On September 30, 2014, pursuant to a master repurchase agreement, the TRS sold $15.0 million of the Class M Notes to NewSource for a purchase price of $15.0 million. The master repurchase agreement requires the TRS to repurchase the Class M Notes from NewSource at a 5.0% yield on December 28, 2014, with the parties having the option to extend the master repurchase agreement for an additional 89 day period. In no event can the master repurchase agreement be extended beyond September 29, 2015. | ||||||||||

On December 21, 2012, as part of our separation transaction from Altisource, we issued stock options under the 2012 Conversion Option Plan and 2012 Special Conversion Option Plan to holders of Altisource stock options to purchase shares of our common stock in a ratio of one share of our common stock to every three shares of Altisource common stock. The options were granted as part of our separation to employees of Altisource and/or Ocwen solely to give effect to the exchange ratio in the separation, and we do not include share-based compensation expense related to these options in our consolidated statements of operations because they are not related to our incentive compensation. | |
Our directors each receive annual grants of restricted stock equal to $45,000 based on the market value of our common stock at the time of the annual stockholders meeting. This restricted stock vests and is issued after a one-year service period subject to each director attending at least 75% of the Board and committee meetings. No dividends are paid on the shares until the award is issued. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we granted 8,245 and 16,355 shares of stock, respectively, pursuant to our 2013 Director Equity Plan with weighted average grant date fair value per share of $27.28 and $18.47, respectively. | |
We recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million of compensation expense related to these grants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, we had $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized share-based compensation cost remaining with respect to the director grants to be recognized over a weighted average remaining estimated term of 0.7 years and 0.7 years. |

As a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and provided we satisfy the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and stock ownership tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year in which we lost our REIT qualification. | |
Based on our 2013 taxable income of $17.7 million, the aggregate minimum distribution to stockholders required to maintain our REIT status was $16.0 million in 2013. Dividends declared and paid per share of common stock aggregated $0.35 for the year ended December 31, 2013, or $13.1 million. On February 20, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock, which was paid on March 10, 2014 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 3, 2014. This additional dividend, an aggregate of $4.5 million, was intended to satisfy the requirement that a REIT must distribute at least 90% of its annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders and will be treated as a 2013 distribution for REIT qualification purposes. On March 6, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock, which was paid on March 24, 2014 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 17, 2014. | |
On May 29, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share of common stock, which was paid on June 23, 2014 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 9, 2014. On September 5, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per share of common stock which was paid on September 30, 2014 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 15, 2014. | |
Our consolidated financial statements include the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), which is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on its taxable income. Through December 31, 2013, the TRS operated at a cumulative taxable loss, which resulted in our recording a deferred tax asset with a corresponding valuation allowance. The TRS has continued to operate at a cumulative taxable loss through September 30, 2014 which resulted in our recording additional deferred tax assets and a corresponding valuation allowance. As of September 30, 2014, we are forecasting that the TRS will break even for the 2014 fiscal year. | |
We recorded state income tax expense on our consolidated operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As a REIT, we may also be subject to federal taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions. | |
As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, we did not accrue interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense or penalty recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. We recorded nominal state and local tax expense on income and property for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Our subsidiaries and we remain subject to tax examination for the period from inception to December 31, 2013. |

Sale of Re-performing Mortgage Loans | |
In October 2014, we sold an aggregate of 934 re-performing loans for an aggregate purchase price of $164 million. Of the 934 loans sold in this transaction, 770 were from the re-performing loan pool we purchased in the second quarter of 2014 and 164 were from prior NPL acquisitions that had transitioned to re-performing status and had a clean pay history of at least six months. Our gain on purchase price for the 770 loans we purchased in the second quarter of 2014 was 2%, and our gain on purchase price for the remaining 164 re-performing loans was 28%. We used a portion of the proceeds from this transaction to pay down our repurchase facilities. Following such payment, the total outstanding borrowings under our repurchase agreements was reduced from $1.3 billion to $1.1 billion. | |
Completed Portfolio Acquisition | |
On October 24, 2014, we acquired a portfolio of 159 first lien residential mortgage loans, substantially all of which were non-performing, and REO properties, having an aggregate UPB of $42.8 million and an aggregate market value of properties of $31.6 million for an aggregate purchase price of $21.0 million. This transaction represented the second closing of the portfolio of 915 non-performing mortgage loans and REO properties that we had agreed to purchase in the second quarter of 2014. |
