Altisource Announces Strong First Quarter Results
April 28, 2016
LUXEMBOURG, April 28, 2016 – Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. ("Altisource") (NASDAQ:ASPS) today reported strong financial results for the first quarter 2016, generating the highest first quarter revenue and service revenue in Altisource's history. Compared to the first quarter of 2015, revenue growth was driven by a higher volume of property inspection and preservation referrals and growth in the number of non-Ocwen homes sold on Hubzu.
Diluted earnings per share of $0.92 and Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) of $1.47 for the first quarter of 2016 were significantly higher than the first quarter of 2015 primarily from service revenue growth coupled with the benefit of the 2015 cost reduction initiative.
First Quarter 2016 Results Compared to First Quarter 2015:
Service revenue of $234.3 million, a 13% increase
Net income attributable to Altisource of $18.5 million, a 400% increase
Adjusted net income attributable to Altisource(1) of $29.4 million, a 148% increase
Diluted earnings per share of $0.92, a 411% increase
Adjusted diluted earnings per share(1) of $1.47, a 163% increase
Cash from operations of $29.0 million compared to cash used in operations of $(15.9) million
"I am very pleased with our first quarter financial results. We continue to make strong gains to diversify and grow our customer base. Service revenue unrelated to Ocwen for the first quarter of 2016 was 22% higher than the fourth quarter of 2015 and 38% higher than the first quarter of 2015," said Chief Executive Officer William B. Shepro.
Shepro further commented, "First quarter 2016 service revenue of $234.3 million is 26% of the mid-point of our full year 2016 scenarios and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.47 is 25% of the mid-point. Given the fact that the 2nd and 3rd quarters have historically been our seasonally strongest of the year, we believe we are well positioned to achieve the mid-point of our 2016 financial scenarios."
First quarter 2016 highlights include:
Initiatives
Launched the Owners.com® buyer rebate program in Atlanta and South Florida
Supported Altisource Residential Corporation's acquisition of more than 600 properties
Completed the integration work for our new top-4 bank customer and plan to commence property inspection and preservation services in early May 2016
Launched VendorlyTM, a vendor oversight platform for Lenders One members
Capital Allocation

Purchased 2.5 million shares of Altisource Residential Corporation's common stock for $29.4 million in the open market
On April 6, 2016, we repurchased $28.0 million of our senior secured term loan for $24.3 million (a 13.1% discount)
