CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, May 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: AAMC) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2015. Net income attributable to stockholders for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $6.9 million, or $2.50 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to stockholders of $6.8 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014.
2015 highlights to date:
| • | Executed a new asset management agreement with Altisource Residential Corporation (“Residential”) that positions AAMC for sustainable growth. The total payment to AAMC for the first quarter 2015 under the new agreement is $15.7 million. |
| • | Negotiated Residential's establishment of a new $100.0 million facility to finance REO assets. |
| • | Negotiated Residential's renewal of its repurchase facility with Credit Suisse to increase its funding capacity from $225 million to $275 million with increased REO sublimits. |
| • | Facilitated Residential’s appointment of two new mortgage servicers and arranged for the transfer of approximately $1 billion of servicing to the new servicers. |

| • | Managed the growth of Residential’s rental portfolio to 785 properties as of April 30, 2015, including 655 rented properties. |
