NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., together with its subsidiaries (which may be referred to as “Altisource,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a premier marketplace and transaction solutions provider for the real estate, mortgage and consumer debt industries. Altisource’s proprietary business processes, vendor and electronic payment management software and behavioral science-based analytics improve outcomes for marketplace participants.

We are incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg and are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ASPS.”

We conduct our operations through three reportable segments: Mortgage Services, Financial Services and Technology Services. In addition, we report our corporate related expenditures and eliminations separately (see Note 21 for a description of our business segments).

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Intercompany and inter-segment transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts reported by the Mortgage Services and Technology Services segments have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

The Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource, serves as the manager of Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc. doing business as the Lenders One^® mortgage cooperative (“Lenders One”). MPA provides services to Lenders One under a management agreement that ends on December 31, 2025. The management agreement between MPA and Lenders One, pursuant to which MPA is the management company of Lenders One, represents a variable interest in a variable interest entity. MPA is the primary beneficiary of Lenders One as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Lenders One’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from Lenders One. As a result, Lenders One is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis with the interests of the members reflected as non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2015, Lenders One had total assets of $3.1 million and total liabilities of $1.8 million. As of December 31, 2014, Lenders One had total assets of $7.7 million and total liabilities of $6.7 million.

In September 2014, Best Partners Mortgage Brokers Cooperative, Inc. was launched, doing business as the Wholesale One^™ Mortgage Cooperative (“Wholesale One”), for the wholesale mortgage industry. Wholesale One assists mortgage brokers and other third party originators with tools to improve their businesses. In April 2015, Best Partners Residential Investor Cooperative, Inc. was launched, doing business as the Residential Investor One^™cooperative (“Residential Investor One”). Residential Investor One was formed to deliver savings and efficiencies to individual and institutional residential real estate investors. MPA provides services to both Wholesale One and Residential Investor One under management agreements that end on July 8, 2039 (with automatic renewals for three successive five year periods) and March 12, 2040 (with automatic renewals for three successive five year periods), respectively. Such management agreements between MPA and the respective cooperative, together with the membership agreements that each of the members sign with the respective cooperative upon joining, represent variable interests in variable interest entities. MPA is the primary beneficiary of Wholesale One and Residential Investor One as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Wholesale One and Residential Investor One and the right to receive benefits from Wholesale One and Residential Investor One. As a result, Wholesale One and Residential Investor One are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis with the

Table of Contents

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

interests of the members reflected as non-controlling interests. Neither Wholesale One nor Residential Investor One has commenced significant operations as of June 30, 2015.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015, which contains a summary of our significant accounting policies. Certain footnote detail in the Form 10-K is omitted from the information included herein.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, is as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the new standard is an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.

In February 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This standard addresses the consolidation of certain legal entities relative to current requirements under GAAP of a reporting entity to consolidate another legal entity in situations in which the reporting entity’s contractual rights do not give it the ability to act primarily on its own behalf, the reporting entity does not hold a majority of the legal entity’s voting rights or the reporting entity is not exposed to a majority of the legal entity’s economic benefits or obligations. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the standard in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the year that includes that interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This revised standard changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 2 — CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

Ocwen Financial Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Ocwen”) is our largest customer. Ocwen purchases certain mortgage services and technology services from us under the terms of the master services agreements and amendments to the master services agreements (collectively, the “Service Agreements”) with terms extending through August 2025. The Service Agreements, among other things, contain a “most favored nation” provision and the parties to the Service Agreements have the right to renegotiate

Table of Contents

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

pricing. The Service Agreements also prohibit Ocwen from establishing fee-based businesses that would directly or indirectly compete with Altisource’s services with respect to the Homeward Residential, Inc. and Residential Capital, LLC portfolios. In addition, Ocwen purchases certain origination services from Altisource under an agreement that extends through January 2017. We settle amounts with Ocwen on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending upon the nature of the service and when the service is provided.

Revenue from Ocwen primarily consists of revenue earned directly from Ocwen and revenue earned from the loans serviced by Ocwen when Ocwen designates us as the service provider. Revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of segment and consolidated revenue was as follows:



	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014

Mortgage Services	62	%	65	%	63	%	67	%
Financial Services	19	%	28	%	22	%	27	%
Technology Services	57	%	41	%	52	%	39	%
Consolidated revenue	59	%	59	%	59	%	60	%

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we generated revenue from Ocwen of $301.0 million and $319.8 million, respectively ($159.6 million and $175.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively). Services provided to Ocwen during such periods and reported in the Mortgage Services segment included real estate asset management and sales, residential property valuation, trustee management services, property inspection and preservation and insurance services. Services provided to Ocwen and reported in the Financial Services segment included charge-off mortgage collections. Services provided to Ocwen and reported in the Technology Services segment included IT infrastructure management and software applications including our software platforms. As of June 30, 2015, accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled $42.1 million, $27.7 million of which is billed and $14.4 million of which is unbilled (see Note 7).

We earn additional revenue related to the portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen selects Altisource as the service provider. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we recognized revenue of $108.0 million and $133.1 million respectively ($54.5 million and $78.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively), related to the portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen selected Altisource as the service provider. These amounts are not included in arriving at revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of revenue in the table above.

NOTE 3 — TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Through January 16, 2015, William C. Erbey served as our Chairman as well as the Executive Chairman of Ocwen and Chairman of each of Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. (“HLSS”), Altisource Residential Corporation (“Residential”) and Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”). Effective January 16, 2015, Mr. Erbey stepped down as the Executive Chairman of Ocwen and Chairman of each of Altisource, HLSS, Residential and AAMC and is no longer a member of the Board of Directors for any of these companies. Consequently, these companies are no longer related parties of Altisource, as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures. The disclosures in this note are limited to the periods that each of Ocwen, HLSS, Residential and AAMC were related parties of Altisource.

Ocwen

Revenue

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and second quarter of 2014, we generated revenue from Ocwen of $319.8 million and $175.1 million, respectively. For the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015, we estimate that we generated revenue from Ocwen of $22.9 million. Services provided to Ocwen during such periods included real estate asset management and sales, residential property valuation, trustee management services, property inspection and preservation, insurance services, charge-off mortgage collections, IT infrastructure management and software applications including our software platforms. As of December 31, 2014, accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled $37.4 million, $22.8 million of which is billed and $14.6 million of which is unbilled (see Note 7).

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

We record revenue we earn from Ocwen under the Service Agreements at rates we believe to be comparable market rates as we believe they are consistent with the fees we charge to other customers and/or fees charged by our competitors for comparable services.

Cost of Revenue and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

At times, we use Ocwen’s contractors and/or employees to support Altisource related services. Ocwen generally bills us for these contractors and/or employees based on their fully-allocated cost. Additionally, through March 31, 2015, we purchased certain data relating to Ocwen’s servicing portfolio in connection with a Data Access and Services Agreement. Based upon our previously provided notice, the Data Access and Services Agreement was terminated effective March 31, 2015. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and second quarter of 2014, Ocwen billed us $16.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively, for these items. For the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015, we estimate that we incurred $1.9 million of expenses related to these items. These amounts are reflected as a component of cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We provide certain other services to Ocwen and Ocwen provides certain other services to us in connection with Support Services Agreements. Prior to January 1, 2015, these services included such areas as human resources, vendor management, vendor oversight, corporate services, facilities related services, quality assurance, quantitative analytics, tax and treasury. Billings for these services were generally based on the fully-allocated cost of providing the service based on an estimate of the time and expense of providing the service or estimates thereof. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the second quarter of 2014, we billed Ocwen $2.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for these items. In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the second quarter of 2014, Ocwen billed us $2.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for these items. Of the January 2015 billings to Ocwen, we estimate that $0.1 million relates to the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015. Of the January 2015 billings from Ocwen, we estimate that $0.3 million relates to the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015. These amounts are reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2014, accounts payable and accrued expenses payable to Ocwen totaled $11.6 million (see Note 12).

HLSS

Prior to April 2015, HLSS was a publicly traded company whose primary objective was the acquisition of mortgage servicing rights and related servicing advances, loans held for investment and other residential mortgage related assets. We provided HLSS certain finance, human resources, tax and facilities services and sold information technology services to HLSS under a support services agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and second quarter of 2014, we billed HLSS $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. These amounts are immaterial for the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015. These amounts are reflected as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2014, accounts receivable from HLSS was $0.1 million (see Note 7).

Residential and AAMC

Residential and AAMC were separated from Altisource on December 21, 2012 and their equity was distributed to our shareholders on December 24, 2012, and they are each separate publicly traded companies. Residential is engaged in the acquisition and ownership of single family rental assets. Their primary sourcing strategy to acquire these assets includes purchase of sub-performing and non-performing mortgages as well as single family homes at or following the foreclosure sale. They pursue opportunities to acquire single family rental assets throughout the United States as long as such assets meet their desired property characteristics and provide acceptable long term returns. AAMC’s primary business is to provide asset management and certain corporate governance services to institutional investors. Currently, its primary client is Residential.

For purposes of governing certain ongoing relationships between Altisource, Residential and AAMC, we entered into certain agreements with Residential and AAMC. We have agreements, which extend through 2027, to provide Residential with renovation management, lease management, property management and real estate owned asset management services. In addition, we have agreements with Residential and AAMC to provide services such as finance, human resources, facilities, technology and insurance risk management. Further, we have separate agreements for certain services related to income tax matters, trademark licenses and technology products and services.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the second quarter of 2014, we generated revenue from Residential of $4.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively, under these services agreements. For the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015, we estimate that we generated revenue from Residential of $1.0 million. These amounts are reflected in revenue in the condensed

consolidated statements of operations. This excludes revenue from services we provide to Residential’s loans serviced by Ocwen where we are retained by Ocwen. That revenue is included in Ocwen related party revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the second quarter of 2014. As of December 31, 2014, accounts receivable from Residential was $11.3 million (see Note 7).

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the second quarter of 2014, we billed AAMC $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, under these services agreements. Of these amounts, less than $0.1 million in each period is reflected in revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the second quarter of 2014, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, is reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. These amounts are immaterial for the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, accounts receivable from AAMC was $0.1 million (see Note 7).

NOTE 4 — ACQUISITIONS

Mortgage Builder Acquisition

On September 12, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Mortgage Builder Software, Inc. (“Mortgage Builder”) pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated July 18, 2014 (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Mortgage Builder is a provider of residential mortgage loan origination and servicing software systems. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, we paid $15.7 million at closing in cash (net of closing working capital adjustments). Additionally, the Purchase and Sale Agreement provides for the payment of up to $7.0 million in potential additional consideration (the “MB Earn-Out”) based on Adjusted Revenue (as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) in the three consecutive 12-month periods following closing. At closing, we estimated the fair value of the MB Earn-Out to be $1.6 million determined based on the present value of future estimated MB Earn-Out payments. The Mortgage Builder acquisition is not material in relation to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

On November 21, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Owners Advantage, LLC (“Owners”). Owners is a self-directed online real estate marketplace. We paid $19.8 million at closing in cash plus contingent consideration of up to an additional $7.0 million over two years (“Owners Earn Out”), based on Adjusted Revenue (as defined in the purchase agreement). At closing, we estimated the fair value of the Owners Earn Out to be $1.9 million determined based on the present value of future estimated Owners Earn Out payments. The Owners acquisition is not material in relation to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 5 — FAIR VALUE

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, the liability for contingent consideration is reflected at fair value and adjusted each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. Liabilities for acquisition related contingent consideration were recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Equator, LLC (“Equator”) in 2013 and Mortgage Builder and Owners in 2014. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of acquisition related contingent consideration was $3.8 million and $11.6 million, respectively (see Note 14). We measure the liabilities for acquisition related contingent consideration using Level 3 inputs as they are determined based on the present value of future estimated payments, which included sensitivities pertaining to discount rates and financial projections.

In the second quarter of 2015, we paid the former owners of Equator $0.5 million to extinguish any liability for Equator related contingent consideration (“Equator Earn Out”). In connection with this settlement, we reduced the liability for the Equator Earn Out to $0 and recognized a $7.6 million increase in earnings. This is reflected as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (see Note 17).

During the second quarter of 2014, the fair value of the Equator Earn Out was reduced by $37.9 million with a corresponding increase in earnings based on management’s revised estimates that expected earnings of Equator were lower than projected at the time of acquisition. The reduction in fair value was recorded in the second quarter of 2014 and is reflected as a reduction of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (see Note 17).

There were no transfers between different levels during the periods presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments held by the Company at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 that are not carried at fair value. The fair values are estimated using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP:



	June 30, 2015								December 31, 2014

Long-term debt	572,571		—		511,020		—		591,543		—		467,319		—

Our financial assets and liabilities primarily include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and were measured using Level 1 inputs. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices. We

do not believe that there is an active market for our debt, based on the frequency of trading. Therefore, the quoted prices are considered Level 2 inputs.

NOTE 6 — AVAILABLE FOR SALE SECURITIES - INVESTMENT IN HLSS

From March 10, 2015 to March 17, 2015, we purchased 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $30.0 million (1,613,125 shares at an average price per share of $18.58). This investment was classified as available for sale. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are reflected in other comprehensive income, unless there is an impairment that is other than temporary. In the event that a decline in market value is other than temporary, we record a charge to earnings and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

On April 6, 2015, HLSS completed the sale of substantially all of its assets to New Residential Investment Corp. (“NRZ”) and adopted a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution. Accordingly, we determined that our investment in HLSS was other than

temporarily impaired and we recognized an other than temporary impairment loss on HLSS equity securities of $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

This amount reflected the difference between the cost and fair value of the HLSS equity securities as of March 31, 2015 (based on 1,613,125 shares at $16.54 per share).

During April 2015, we received liquidating dividends and other dividends from HLSS totaling $20.4 million. Between April 22, 2015 and April 29, 2015, we sold all of our 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $7.7 million (1,613,125 shares at an average price per share of $4.75).

As a result of these transactions, we recognized a net loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (no comparative amount for the six months ended June 30, 2014) and a gain of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 (no comparative amount for the second quarter of 2014) in connection with our investment in HLSS.

During the second quarter of 2015, management evaluated goodwill and determined that there were no impairments.

During the second quarter of 2014, management evaluated and determined that Equator goodwill should be tested for impairment as a result of the decline in the fair value of the Equator Earn Out (see Note 5). Consequently, we initiated a quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test by comparing the carrying value of the net assets of Equator to its fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis. Based on our assessment, we determined that the fair value of Equator was less than its carrying value and goodwill was impaired. Consequently, we recorded an impairment loss of $37.5 million in the second quarter of 2014, which is reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (see Note 17).

term loan agreement to increase the principal amount of the senior secured term loan and, among other changes, re-establish the $200.0 million incremental term loan facility accordion, lower the interest rate, extend the maturity date by approximately one year and increase the maximum amount of Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the senior secured term loan agreement). As of June 30, 2015, $569.9 million, net of unamortized discount of $2.6 million, was outstanding under the senior secured term loan agreement, as amended, compared to $588.6 million, net of unamortized discount of $2.9 million, as of December 31, 2014.

After giving effect to the third amendment entered into on August 1, 2014, the term loan must be repaid in equal consecutive quarterly principal installments of $1.5 million, which commenced on September 30, 2014, with the balance due at maturity. All amounts outstanding under the senior secured term loan agreement will become due on the earlier of (i) December 9, 2020 and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence of any event of default under the senior secured term loan agreement.

In addition to the scheduled principal payments, the term loan is (with certain exceptions) subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, casualty and condemnation events and sales of assets, as well as from a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow if the leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00. No mandatory prepayments were owed for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

In June 2015, the Company repurchased a portion of its senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9% discount, recognizing a net gain of $1.1 million on the early extinguishment of a portion of the debt. The net gain is included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The term loan bears interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the applicable interest period and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) a 3.50% margin. Base Rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.00% plus (ii) a 2.50% margin. The interest rate at June 30, 2015 was 4.50%.

Term loan payments are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a pledge of all equity interests of certain subsidiaries as well as a lien on substantially all of the assets of Altisource Solutions S.à r.l. and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The senior secured term loan agreement includes covenants that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability to: create liens and encumbrances; incur additional indebtedness; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; make Restricted Junior Payments including share repurchases; change lines of business; amend material debt agreements or other material contracts; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; grant negative pledges or agree to such other restrictions relating to subsidiary dividends and distributions; make changes to its fiscal year and engage in mergers and consolidations.

The senior secured term loan agreement contains certain events of default, including (i) failure to pay principal when due or interest or any other amount owing on any other obligation under the senior secured term loan agreement within five days of becoming due, (ii) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (iii) breach of covenants, (iv) failure to pay principal or interest on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million when due, (v) default on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million that causes, or gives the holder or holders of such debt the ability to cause, an acceleration of such debt, (vi) occurrence of a Change of Control, (vii) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (viii) entry by a court of one or more judgments against us in an amount in excess of $40.0 million that remain unbonded, undischarged or unstayed for a certain number of days after the entry thereof, (ix) the occurrence of certain ERISA events and (x) the failure of certain Loan Documents to be in full force and effect. If any event of default occurs and is not cured within applicable grace periods set forth in the senior secured term loan agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the facility could be terminated.

At June 30, 2015, debt issuance costs were $7.3 million, net of $3.0 million of accumulated amortization. At December 31, 2014, debt issuance costs were $8.1 million, net of $2.2 million of accumulated amortization. Debt issuance costs are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest expense on the term loans, including amortization of debt issuance costs and the net debt discount, totaled $14.4 million and $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively ($7.2 million and $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively).

NOTE 15 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Repurchase Plan

On May 20, 2015, our shareholders approved a new stock repurchase program, which replaced the previous stock repurchase program. Under the new program, we are authorized to purchase up to 3.0 million shares of our common stock, based on a limit of 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval, in the open market, at a minimum price of $1.00 per share and a maximum price of $500.00 per share. This is in addition to amounts previously purchased under the prior programs. We purchased 1.6 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $28.02 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 0.7 million shares at an average price of $109.00 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2014 (1.4 million shares at an average price of $28.57 per share for the second quarter of 2015 and 0.4 million shares at an average price of $108.24 per share for the second quarter of 2014). As of June 30, 2015, approximately 2.0 million shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the new program. Our senior secured term loan limits the amount we can spend on share repurchases and may prevent repurchases in certain circumstances. As of June 30, 2015, approximately $220 million was available to repurchase our common stock under our senior secured term loan.

Share-Based Compensation

We issue share-based awards in the form of stock options and certain other equity-based awards for certain employees and officers. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively ($0.9 million and $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively). As of June 30, 2015, estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards amounted to $14.1 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately 2.41 years.

Stock Options

Outstanding share-based compensation currently consists primarily of stock option grants that are a combination of service-based and market-based options.

Service-Based Options. These options are granted at fair value on the date of grant. The options generally vest over three or four years with equal annual cliff-vesting and expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of 1.3 million service-based awards were outstanding at June 30, 2015.

Market-Based Options. These option grants have two components, each of which vests only upon the achievement of certain criteria. The first component, which we refer to internally as “ordinary performance” grants, consists of two-thirds of the market-based grant and begins to vest if the stock price is at least double the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 20% over the exercise price. The remaining third of the market-based options, which we refer to internally as “extraordinary performance” grants, begins to vest if the stock price is at least triple the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 25% over the exercise price. The vesting schedule for all market-based awards is 25% upon achievement of the criteria and the remaining 75% in three equal annual installments. A total of 2.0 million market-based awards were outstanding at June 30, 2015.

The Company granted 0.7 million stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $23.17 per share) and less than 0.1 million stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $105.11 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

Other Share-Based Awards

The Company’s other share-based awards consist of restricted shares and Equity Appreciation Rights (“EARs”).

The restricted shares are service-based awards that vest over one to four years with either annual cliff-vesting, vesting of all of the restricted shares at the end of the vesting period or vesting beginning after two years of service. Restricted shares are granted at fair value on the date of grant. The Company granted 0.2 million restricted shares (at a weighted average price of $19.06 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2015 (no comparative amount for the six months ended June 30, 2014). A total of 0.3 million service-based restricted shares were outstanding at June 30, 2015.

Granted	243,438
Issued	(2,836	)

Outstanding at June 30, 2015	266,826

EARs provide participating employees of certain divisions of the Company with the potential to receive a percentage of the increase in the value of the applicable division during the term of the EARs. The Company has established EAR plans for three divisions: Consumer Analytics, Document Solutions and Marketplace Solutions. These EAR plans allow for the issuance of EARs representing up to 15% of each of these divisions. The EARs consist of service-based awards and performance-based awards. Service-based EARs vest in equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Performance-based EARs begin to vest on the date certain performance criteria are achieved by the applicable division of the Company. EARs are granted at fair value on the date of grant.

The participating employee will have the opportunity at certain times specified in the award agreement to exercise EARs that have vested and in exchange will receive share equivalency units, the number of which will be based on the increase in value of the division and the amount of EARs awarded to the participating employee. After a holding period of six months and one day, the Company, the applicable division or an affiliate of the Company may redeem the share equivalency units for a payment equal to the then fair market value of the share equivalency units. At the Company’s option, the share equivalency units may be redeemed for cash, shares of Altisource’s common stock, a subordinated note payable or, under certain circumstances where the division has been converted into a company form, shares of that company. Upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, including the sale of the division, a qualified initial public offering of the equity of the division or a spin-off of the division, the Company will have the right to repurchase and cancel any redeemed share equivalency units or shares of the division that have been issued in payment of redeemed share equivalency units, and the applicable plan administrator will have the discretion to adjust the terms of the applicable division equity appreciation rights plan and any outstanding EARs.

The Company granted EARs with a total grant date fair value of $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2015 (no comparative amount for the second quarter of 2014) related to the Company's Consumer Analytics, Document Solutions, and Marketplace Solutions divisions, representing the right to potentially receive 1.0% of an increase in the value of such divisions. The Company intends to issue additional EARs to employees of these divisions. 25% of these EARs are service-based and 75% of these EARs are performance-based.

Share-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted shares and EARs is recorded net of estimated forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 10%.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, 0.7 million options and less than 0.1 million options, respectively, that were anti-dilutive have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS (0.7 million options and less than 0.1 million options for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively). These options were anti-dilutive because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common stock. Also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are 0.3 million options and 0.1 million options, respectively (0.3 million options and 0.1 million options for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively), granted for shares that are issuable upon the achievement of certain market and performance criteria related to our common stock price and an annualized rate of return to investors that have not yet been met.

NOTE 20 — COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Litigation

From time to time, we are involved in legal and administrative proceedings arising in the course of our business. We record a liability for these matters if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where the reasonable estimate of loss is a range, we record a best estimate of loss within the range.

On September 8, 2014, the West Palm Beach Firefighter’s Pension Fund filed a putative securities class action suit against Altisource and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 with regard to disclosures concerning pricing and transactions with related parties that allegedly inflated Altisource share prices. The court subsequently appointed the Pension Fund of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 35 and the Annuity Fund of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 35 as Lead Plaintiffs. On January 30, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint which adds Ocwen Financial Corporation as a defendant, and seeks a determination that the action may be maintained as a class action on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities between April 25, 2013 and December 21, 2014 and an unspecified amount of damages. Altisource intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and moved to dismiss it on March 23, 2015.

On February 11, 2015, W.A. Sokolowski, an alleged shareholder of Ocwen Financial Corporation, filed an amended shareholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen Financial Corporation, certain of its officers and directors, Altisource and other companies. The suit seeks recovery of an unspecified amount of damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by Ocwen’s current and former officers and directors, which were allegedly aided and abetted by Altisource and other defendants. Ocwen has moved to stay this action, and if the litigation proceeds, Altisource intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

On March 26, 2015, Robert Moncavage, an alleged shareholder of Ocwen Financial Corporation, filed an amended shareholder derivative complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida against Ocwen Financial Corporation, certain of its current and former officers and directors, Altisource and other companies. The suit seeks recovery of an unspecified amount of damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by Ocwen’s current and former officers and directors, which were allegedly aided and abetted by Altisource and other defendants. Ocwen has moved to stay this action, and if the litigation proceeds, Altisource intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.

Altisource is unable to predict the outcomes of these lawsuits or reasonably estimate the potential loss, if any, arising from the suits, given that a motion to dismiss was filed but has not yet been adjudicated in the first case, motions to stay have been filed in the second and third cases, discovery has not commenced in any of the cases and significant legal and factual issues remain to be determined in all three cases.

In addition to the matters referenced above, we are involved in legal actions in the course of our business, some of which seek monetary damages. We do not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, both individually and in the aggregate, will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Regulatory Matters

Our business is subject to regulation and oversight by federal, state and local governmental authorities. We periodically receive subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other requests for information from regulatory agencies in connection with their regulatory or investigative authority. We are currently responding to such inquiries from federal and state agencies relating to certain aspects of our business. We believe it is premature to predict the potential outcome or to estimate any potential financial impact in connection with these inquiries.

Ocwen Related Matters

Ocwen is our largest customer and 59% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (59% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2015) was recorded from Ocwen. Additionally, 21% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (20% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2015) was earned on the portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen selects Altisource as the service provider. Ocwen has been and is subject to a number of pending federal and state regulatory investigations, inquiries and requests for information that have or could result in adverse regulatory actions against Ocwen. For example, as a result of various regulatory actions, Ocwen is (i) subject to an independent auditor’s review of compliance with California servicing laws and has agreed not to obtain any new servicing rights in California until the regulator is satisfied with future document requests, (ii) operating under the oversight of an on-site operations monitor imposed by the New York Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”), which is assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of Ocwen’s operations, including information technology systems, (iii) required to perform benchmarking pricing studies for transactions with related parties, which are subject to periodic review by the monitor imposed by the NYDFS and (iv) subject to requirements under an agreement with the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and various states attorneys general and agencies that imposed specific servicing guidelines and oversight by an independent national monitor, who is investigating the reliability of information Ocwen has provided. In addition to these matters, Ocwen continues to be subject to other regulatory investigations, inquiries and requests for information and pending legal proceedings, and Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, inquiries and requests for information, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen.

In connection with HLSS’ sale of substantially all of its assets to NRZ on April 6, 2015, Ocwen and HLSS/NRZ amended their agreement to, among other things, eliminate HLSS/NRZ’s ability to transfer servicing away from Ocwen for a servicer rating downgrade for two years (unless HLSS/NRZ determine in good faith that a trustee, or other party entitled to terminate, intends to terminate Ocwen as the servicer). The amendment also extends the term of the initial six-year agreements by up to an additional two years. NRZ owns the right to approximately 77% of Ocwen’s non-government-sponsored enterprise (“non-GSE”) servicing rights.

If Ocwen is not able to increase its servicer ratings prior to the expiration of the suspension of the HLSS/NRZ rights to transfer servicing, HLSS/NRZ could choose to transfer servicing away from Ocwen pursuant to its contract. Further, certain bondholders of Ocwen-serviced residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) have alleged that Ocwen, as servicer of certain mortgage-backed securities trusts, defaulted on these servicing agreements. Bondholders of RMBS may attempt to replace Ocwen as servicer as a result of such ratings downgrades or the alleged defaults.

The foregoing may have significant and varied effects on Ocwen’s business and our continuing relationships with Ocwen. For example, Ocwen may be required to alter the way it conducts business, including the parties it contracts with for services (including information technology services), it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us or otherwise, it may lose or sell some or all of its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing licenses. Additional regulatory actions may impose additional restrictions on or require changes in Ocwen’s business that would require it to sell assets or change its business operations. Any or all of these effects could result in our eventual loss of Ocwen as a customer or a reduction in the volume of services they purchase from us or the loss of other customers.

If any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue would be significantly lower and our results of operations would be materially adversely affected, including from the impairment or write-off of goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, other assets and accounts receivable:

• Altisource loses Ocwen as a customer or there is a significant reduction in the volume of services they purchase from us

• Ocwen loses or sells a significant portion or all of its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements

• Ocwen loses its state servicing licenses in states with a significant number of loans in Ocwen’s servicing portfolio

• The contractual relationship between Ocwen and Altisource changes significantly or there are significant changes to our

pricing to Ocwen for services from which we generate material revenue

Management cannot predict the outcome of the Ocwen related matters or the impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these Ocwen related matters materially negatively impact Altisource, we believe the impact to Altisource would occur over an extended period of time and the variable nature of our cost structure allows us to realign our cost structure in line with remaining revenue.

continue to generate revenue from the services we provide to the portfolio. Additionally, we have several growth initiatives that focus on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base. Our major growth initiatives include:

• Attracting new clients to our comprehensive default related businesses

• Growing our origination services and technology businesses

• Expanding our innovative online real estate marketplaces

• Growing our property management and renovation services businesses

We have an established sales and marketing strategy to support each of these initiatives.

Management believes our plans, together with current liquidity and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other cash needs for at least the next year. However, there can be no assurance that our plans would be successful or our operations would be profitable.

Escrow and Trust Balances

We hold customers’ assets in escrow and trust accounts at various financial institutions pending completion of certain real estate activities. We also hold cash in trust accounts at various financial institutions where contractual obligations mandate maintaining dedicated bank accounts for Financial Services collections. These amounts are held in escrow and trust accounts for limited periods of time and are not included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts held in escrow and trust accounts were $67.0 million and $62.5 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

NOTE 21 — SEGMENT REPORTING

Our business segments are based upon our organizational structure, which focuses primarily on the services offered, and are consistent with the internal reporting used by our Chief Executive Officer (our Chief Operating Decision Maker) to evaluate operating performance and to assess the allocation of our resources.

We classify our businesses into three reportable segments. The Mortgage Services segment provides services that span the mortgage and real estate lifecycle and are typically outsourced by loan servicers, loan originators, investors and other sellers of single family homes. The Financial Services segment provides collection and customer relationship management services primarily to debt originators and servicers (e.g., credit card, auto lending, retail credit and mortgage) and the utility, insurance and hotel industries. The Technology Services segment provides a portfolio of software, data analytics and infrastructure management services that support the efficient and compliant management of mortgage and real estate activities and marketplace transactions across the lifecycle. In addition, Corporate Items and Eliminations include eliminations of transactions between the reportable segments, interest expense and costs related to corporate support functions including executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, risk, sales and marketing. Intercompany transactions primarily consist of information technology infrastructure services.

Financial information for our segments is as follows:

NOTE 22 — SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 17, 2015, we acquired CastleLine Holdings, LLC (“CastleLine”), a specialty risk management and insurance services firm, for $37.1 million. The purchase price is comprised of $12.3 million of cash at acquisition, $10.5 million of cash payable over the next four years and $14.3 million of the Company’s common shares, or 495 thousand shares. A portion of the consideration to the founders is contingent on future employment. With the acquisition of CastleLine, Altisource strengthens its origination related offerings with products and services focused on mitigating risk in the origination, underwriting, purchase and securitization of residential mortgages. The CastleLine acquisition is not material in relation to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

OVERVIEW

Our Business

When we refer to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” or “Altisource” we mean Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., a Luxembourg société anonyme, or public limited company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

We are a premier marketplace and transaction solutions provider for the real estate, mortgage and consumer debt industries. Altisource’s proprietary business processes, vendor and electronic payment management software and behavioral science-based analytics improve outcomes for marketplace participants.

We classify our businesses into the following three reportable segments:

Mortgage Services: Provides services that span the mortgage and real estate lifecycle and are typically outsourced by loan servicers, loan originators, investors and other sellers and buyers of single family homes. We provide most of these services primarily for loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen. We also have longstanding relationships with commercial banks, insurance companies and mortgage bankers. Within the Mortgage Services segment, we provide the following services:

Asset management - Asset management services principally include property preservation, property inspection, real estate owned (“REO”) asset management, the Hubzu^®and Owners.com^® consumer real estate portals and real estate brokerage services. We also provide property management, lease management and renovation management services for single family rental properties.

Insurance services - Insurance services include an array of insurance services including pre-foreclosure, REO and refinance title searches, title insurance agency services, settlement and escrow services and loss draft claims processing. Prior to the November 11, 2014 discontinuation, we provided insurance program management and insurance brokerage services for REO and lender placed insurance companies.

Residential property valuation - Residential property valuation services principally include traditional appraisal products through our licensed appraisal management company and alternative valuation products, some of which are through our network of real estate professionals. We generally provide these services for residential loan servicers, residential lenders and investors in single family homes.

Origination management services - Origination management services principally include Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”) and our contract underwriting and quality control businesses. MPA serves as the manager of Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc., doing business as the Lenders One^® Mortgage Cooperative (“Lenders One”), a national alliance of independent mortgage bankers that provides its members with education and training along with revenue enhancing, cost reducing and market share expanding opportunities. We provide other origination related services in the residential property valuation business and insurance services businesses.

Corporate Items and Eliminations: Includes interest expense and costs related to corporate support functions including executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, risk, sales and marketing, and also includes eliminations of transactions between the reportable segments. Corporate Items and Eliminations also include the cost of facilities until approximately 40% of the facilities are occupied by the business unit(s), at which time costs are charged to the business unit(s).

We classify revenue in three categories: service revenue, revenue from reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests. In evaluating our performance, we focus on service revenue. Service revenue consists of amounts attributable to our fee-based services. Reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests are pass-through items for which we earn no margin. Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts we incur on behalf of our customers in performing our fee-based services, but we pass such costs directly on to our customers without any additional markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings of Lenders One, a consolidated entity not owned by Altisource, and are included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource.

Altisource’s Vision and Growth Initiatives

Altisource provides a suite of mortgage, real estate and consumer debt services, leveraging our technology and global operations. Our relationship with Ocwen provided a foundation on which we built our business and Ocwen, as our largest customer, remains an important priority for us. Leveraging the services we have built through Ocwen and other relationships, Altisource is focused on becoming the premier provider of real estate and mortgage marketplaces to a diversified customer base. Within the real estate and mortgage markets, we are facilitating transactions related to home sales, home rentals, home maintenance, mortgage origination and mortgage servicing.

While we expect our revenue from Ocwen’s servicing portfolio to decline in the future, we believe we have opportunities to continue to build our business from our revenue and diversification initiatives. Ocwen remains a very important component of our business, and we believe that its existing non-government-sponsored enterprise (“non-GSE”) portfolio provides continuing long-term revenue for Altisource. Recognizing the importance of further diversifying our customer base, we have increased our focus on our strategic growth initiatives. Our strategic growth initiatives are:

Mortgage market:


•	attract new clients to our comprehensive default related businesses


•	grow our origination services and technologies

Real estate market:


•	expand our innovative online real estate marketplace


•	grow our property management and renovation services business

Ocwen Related Matters

Revenue from Ocwen represents 59% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (59% of consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2015). Additionally, 21% of consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (20% of consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2015) was earned on the portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen selects Altisource as the service provider.

Table of Contents

Ocwen has been and is subject to a number of pending federal and state regulatory investigations, inquiries and requests for information that have or could result in adverse regulatory actions against Ocwen. Also, Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, inquiries and requests for information, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen (see Note 20 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Management cannot predict the outcome of the Ocwen related matters or the impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these Ocwen related matters materially negatively impact Altisource, we believe the impact to Altisource would occur over an extended period of time and the variable nature of our cost structure allows us to realign our cost structure in line with remaining revenue.

In this regard, we have a plan that allows us to efficiently execute on this realignment. We believe that transfers of Ocwen’s servicing rights to a successor servicer(s) would take an extended period of time because of the approval required from many parties, including regulators, rating agencies, residential mortgage-backed securities trustees, lenders and others. During this period of time, we believe we would continue to generate revenue from the services we provide to the portfolio. Additionally, we have several growth initiatives that focus on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base. Our major growth initiatives are described in Altisource’s Vision and Growth Initiatives section above. We have an established sales and marketing strategy to support each of these initiatives.

Factors Affecting Comparability

The following items may impact the comparability of our results:

•

The average number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing was 2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (2.2 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2.3 million for the second quarter of 2014). The average number of delinquent non-GSE loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing was 295 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 359 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (279 thousand for the second quarter of 2015 and 350 thousand for the second quarter of 2014);


•	In the second quarter of 2015, we paid the former owners of Equator, LLC (“Equator”) $0.5 million to extinguish any liability for Equator related contingent consideration (“Equator Earn Out”). In connection with this settlement, we reduced the liability for the Equator Earn Out to $0 and recognized a $7.6 million increase in earnings;


•	In the second quarter of 2015, we repurchased a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9% discount, recognizing a net gain of $1.1 million;

•

In the first quarter of 2015, we recognized an other than temporary impairment loss of $3.3 million on our investment in Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. (“HLSS”) equity securities. In the second quarter of 2015, we recognized a gain of $1.4 million related to the sale of, and liquidating and other dividends received from, our investment in HLSS. This resulted in a net reduction to our earnings of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015;


•	We terminated the Data Access and Services Agreement with Ocwen effective March 31, 2015;


•	On November 21, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Owners Advantage, LLC (“Owners”), a leading self-directed online real estate marketplace, for an initial purchase price of $19.8 million plus contingent earn out consideration of up to an additional $7.0 million over two years, subject to Owners achieving annual performance targets;


•	In the fourth quarter of 2014, we discontinued our lender placed insurance brokerage line of business;

•

On September 12, 2014, we completed the acquisition of certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Mortgage Builder Software, Inc. (“Mortgage Builder”), a provider of mortgage loan origination and servicing software systems, for an initial purchase price of $15.7 million plus contingent earn out consideration of up to an additional $7.0 million over three years, subject to Mortgage Builder achieving annual performance targets; and


•	On August 1, 2014, we amended our senior secured term loan agreement and increased our borrowings by $200.0 million to $594.5 million. Interest expense totaled $14.4 million and $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively ($7.2 million and $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively).

Revenue

We recognized service revenue of $444.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a 6% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($236.6 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 10% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014). The decline in service revenue was primarily due to the discontinuation of the lender placed insurance brokerage line of business in the fourth quarter of 2014, fewer property valuation services referrals, lower mortgage charge-off collections and lower

Table of Contents

Equator revenue from the full amortization of acquisition related deferred revenue in 2014. These declines were partially offset by revenue expansion in the asset management services businesses primarily from growth in the number of non-Ocwen homes and Ocwen REO sold on Hubzu, a higher percentage of homes sold through auction and increased REALSuite software sales.

Certain of our revenues are impacted by seasonality. More specifically, Mortgage Services’ revenue is impacted by REO sales and lawn maintenance, which tend to be at their lowest level during the fall and winter months and highest during the spring and summer months. Financial Services’ asset recovery management revenue tends to be higher in the first quarter, as borrowers may utilize tax refunds and bonuses to pay debts, and generally declines throughout the rest of the year.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue principally includes payroll and employee benefits associated with personnel employed in customer service and operations roles, fees paid to external providers related to the provision of services, reimbursable expenses, technology and telecommunications expenses and depreciation and amortization of operating assets.

We recognized cost of revenue of $341.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a 3% increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($168.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 9% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014). The increase in cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily attributable to increased compensation and benefits, partially offset by lower outside fees and services cost. The decrease in cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2015 is primarily attributable to lower outside fees and services cost. Compensation and benefits increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to increased headcount and related benefits, contractor costs and severance costs incurred in connection with cost reduction initiatives implemented during the first half of 2015. Outside fees and services cost decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to the termination of the Data Access and Services Agreement with Ocwen, as of March 31, 2015 and lower costs in 2015 due to prior year costs incurred to build and develop our insurance services business. Recognizing that our service revenue from Ocwen is not expected to grow in the near term due to challenges faced by Ocwen in late 2014 and early 2015, we developed and executed on a plan that included eliminating certain non-revenue generating businesses, reducing vendor costs and eliminating staff. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized severance expense of $4.3 million related to the elimination of staff ($0.3 million during the second quarter of 2015).

Gross profit decreased to $167.8 million, representing 38% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $203.5 million, representing 43% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (decreased to $100.2 million, representing 42% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $112.1 million, representing 43% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2014). Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was lower, particularly in the first quarter of 2015, due largely to lower revenue from Mortgage Services’ higher gross profit margin businesses and higher compensation and benefits costs without corresponding revenue growth principally within the Technology Services segment. Following the implementation of our cost reduction initiatives in the first quarter of 2015 and the termination of the Data Access and Services Agreement with Ocwen as of March 31, 2015, along with seasonally higher revenue our gross profit margin improved in the second quarter of 2015.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses and Income from Operations

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) includes payroll for personnel employed in executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, risk, sales and marketing roles. This category also includes occupancy costs, professional fees and depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.

We recognized SG&A of $96.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a 4% increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($44.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 10% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014). The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is driven primarily by an increase in legal costs related to legal and regulatory matters, an increase in compensation and benefits costs from an expansion of certain support functions and severance costs incurred in connection with the cost reduction initiatives. These costs were partially offset by the second quarter of 2015 settlement of the Equator Earn Out which resulted in a reduction in SG&A of $7.6 million. The decrease for the second quarter of 2015 is driven primarily by the benefit resulting from the Equator Earn Out settlement discussed above, partially offset by an increase in compensation and benefits costs, severance costs and higher legal costs related to regulatory and litigation matters also discussed above.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Equator Earn Out was reduced by $37.9 million with a corresponding increase in earnings. As a result of the adjustment in the fair value of the Equator contingent consideration and based on our preliminary assessment,

Table of Contents

in the second quarter of 2014 we estimated that the Equator goodwill was impaired and recorded an impairment loss of $37.5 million.

The following table presents the impact of the change in the fair value of the Equator Earn Out and Equator goodwill impairment for the second quarter of 2014 and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and are included in SG&A in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:



(in thousands)

Change in the fair value of Equator Earn Out	$	(37,924	)
Goodwill impairment	37,473

	$	(451	)

Income from operations decreased to $71.4 million, representing 16% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $111.0 million, representing 23% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (decreased to $56.2 million, representing 24% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $63.1 million, representing 24% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2014). The decrease in operating income margin for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily driven by the lower first quarter 2015 gross profit margin and higher first quarter 2015 SG&A, as discussed above. The operating margins for the second quarter of 2015 returned to 2014 levels as we realigned our costs in line with revenue in connection with our cost reduction initiatives and recognized a benefit from the Equator Earn Out settlement, as discussed above.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net principally includes interest expense, interest income, an other than temporary impairment loss on HLSS equity securities, dividends and gain on sale of HLSS equity securities and a gain on the early extinguishment of debt. Interest expense was $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $4.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($7.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $2.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2014), resulting from the additional $200.0 million senior secured term loan borrowings on August 1, 2014.

During the first quarter of 2015, we purchased 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $30.0 million (1,613,125 shares at an average price per share of $18.58). This investment was classified as available for sale. Based on HLSS’ sale of substantially all of its assets and plan of complete liquidation and dissolution on April 6, 2015, we determined that our investment in HLSS was other than temporarily impaired. Accordingly, we recognized an other than temporary impairment loss of $3.3 million during the first quarter of 2015. This amount reflected the difference between the cost and fair value of the HLSS equity securities as of March 31, 2015.

During the second quarter of 2015, we received liquidating dividends and other dividends from HLSS totaling $20.4 million and sold all of our 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $7.7 million (1,613,125 shares at an average price per share of $4.75).

In June 2015, we repurchased a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9% discount, recognizing a net gain of $1.1 million on the early extinguishment of a portion of the debt.

Income Tax Provision

We recognized an income tax provision of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($4.4 million and $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively). Our effective tax rate was 8.6% and 6.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively (8.6% and 6.0% for the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively). Our effective tax rate differs from the Luxembourg statutory tax rate of 29.2% primarily due to the effect of certain deductions in Luxembourg from a tax ruling, which expires in 2019 unless extended or renewed, and the mix of income and losses with varying tax rates in multiple taxing jurisdictions. Our consolidated effective income tax rate for financial reporting purposes may change periodically due to changes in enacted tax rates, fluctuations in the mix of income earned from our domestic and international operations and our ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

We recognized service revenue of $310.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an 8% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($165.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 13% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014), primarily due to the discontinuation of the lender placed insurance brokerage line of business in the fourth quarter of 2014 and fewer property valuation services referrals. These declines were partially offset by revenue expansion in the asset management services businesses primarily from growth in the number of non-Ocwen homes and Ocwen REO sold on Hubzu and a higher percentage of homes sold through auction.

Certain of our Mortgage Services businesses are impacted by seasonality. REO sales and lawn maintenance services within the asset management services business are generally lowest during the fall and winter months and highest during the spring and summer months.

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $227.5 million decreased by 2% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($112.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 13% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014), primarily due to the decrease in outside fees and services partially offset by an increase in compensation and benefits costs. The decrease in outside fees and services was primarily due to the termination of the Data Access and Services Agreement with Ocwen effective March 31, 2015 and non-recurring costs in 2014 related to the development of our insurance business. Compensation and benefits

costs increased in the second quarter of 2014 to support growth in certain of our Mortgage Services businesses and our growth initiatives. In connection with our cost reduction initiatives during the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized severance expense in the Mortgage Services segment of $1.1 million related to the elimination of staff.

Gross profit decreased to $146.9 million, representing 47% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $166.0 million, representing 49% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (decreased to $84.7 million, representing 51% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $92.8 million, representing 49% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2014). Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to service revenue mix with no revenue in 2015 from the higher margin lender placed insurance brokerage business, partially offset by reduced outside fees and services from the termination of the Data Access and Services Agreement with Ocwen. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue for the second quarter of 2015 increased as the termination of the Data Access and Services Agreement with Ocwen was effective for the full quarter, partially offset by revenue mix.

Our margins can vary substantially depending upon service revenue mix.

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $45.8 million increased by 7% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($25.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 7% increase compared to the second quarter of 2014), primarily driven by an increase in legal and regulatory related costs. This increase was partially offset by lower Hubzu marketing costs as we continue to optimize our marketing spend.

Income from operations decreased to $101.1 million, representing 33% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $123.3 million, representing 37% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (decreased to $59.4 million, representing 36% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $69.3 million, representing 37% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2014). The decrease in operating income margin is primarily the result of the lower gross profit margins and higher legal and regulatory related costs, partially offset by lower Hubzu marketing costs, as discussed above. Operating income margins for the second quarter of 2015 were slightly lower than the same period in 2014 from higher gross profit margins offset by higher legal and regulatory related costs.

We recognized service revenue of $45.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an 8% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($23.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, an 8% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014), primarily due to lower mortgage charge-off collections driven by a decline in referrals. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the customer relationship management revenue declined primarily due to lower business from an existing customer, due to its vendor diversification initiatives, partially offset by the addition of a new customer. The increase in customer relationship management revenue for the second quarter of 2015 is primarily the result of the addition of a new customer and expansion of services provided to existing clients.

Certain of our Financial Services businesses are impacted by seasonality. Revenue in the asset recovery management business tends to be higher in the first quarter, as borrowers may utilize tax refunds and bonuses to pay debts, and generally declines throughout the rest of the year.

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $30.6 million remained flat compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($15.5 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 3% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014). The decrease in cost of revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to lower technology and telecommunications costs resulting from the implementation of cost savings initiatives in 2015.

Gross profit decreased to $15.1 million, representing 33% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $19.1 million, representing 38% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (decreased to $7.9 million, representing 34% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $9.4 million, representing 37% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2014). Gross profit margin decreased primarily due to revenue mix as revenue declined in the higher margin mortgage charge-off collections business.

The decrease is primarily due to the decrease in amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization expense from 2014 leasehold improvements in connection with facility relocations.

Income from operations decreased to $5.8 million, representing 13% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $9.7 million, representing 19% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (decreased to $3.3 million, representing 14% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $4.6 million, representing 18% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2014). The decrease in operating income as a percentage of service revenue is primarily the result of lower gross profit margins as discussed above.

Total revenue	$	55,992	$	57,111	(2	)	$	107,962	$	103,960	4

We recognized service revenue of $108.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a 4% increase compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($56.0 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 2% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014). The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to an increase in IT infrastructure services revenue, which is typically billed on a cost plus basis. Costs in the IT infrastructure business were higher than the same period in 2014 as we were investing in support of our growth; however, we reduced these investments during the second quarter of 2015 to better align our costs with revenue. Within the software services business, lower Equator revenue from the full amortization of acquisition related deferred revenue in 2014 was partially offset by an increase in REALSuite development revenue and a higher number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing. For the second quarter of 2015, both the software services and IT infrastructure services revenues decreased slightly compared to the second quarter of 2014 from a decrease in Equator revenues and lower related IT infrastructure costs, largely offset by increased REALSuite development revenue.

For segment presentation purposes, revenue from services provided by Technology Services to our other reportable segments is eliminated in consolidation. This inter-segment revenue is included as revenue in the Technology Services segment and as technology and telecommunications expense, a component of cost of revenue and SG&A, in our other reportable segments.

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $100.1 million increased by 20% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($47.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 2% increase compared to the second quarter of 2014). The increase was primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits costs and depreciation and amortization expenses. A portion of the increase in costs relates to the September 2014 acquisition of Mortgage Builder. The remaining increase relates to businesses we have been investing in to support our growth; however, we reduced these investments during the second quarter of 2015 to better align our costs with revenue. The decrease in technology and telecommunications costs for the second quarter of 2015 is the result of the implementation of cost savings initiatives. Recognizing that our service revenue from Ocwen is not expected to grow in the near term due to challenges faced by Ocwen, in late 2014 and early 2015, we developed and executed on a plan that included eliminating certain non-revenue generating businesses, reducing vendor costs and eliminating staff. Cost of revenue increased slightly for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014 as we benefited from the implementation of our cost savings initiatives. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized severance expense in the Technology Services segment of $3.1 million related to the elimination of staff ($0.3 million for the second quarter of 2015).

Gross profit decreased to $7.8 million, representing 7% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $20.2 million, representing 19% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (decreased to $8.6 million, representing 15% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $10.7 million, representing 19% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2014). Gross profit margins for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased primarily due to service revenue mix, as lower margin IT infrastructure service revenue increased. In addition, gross profit margins for both the six months ended June 30, 2015 and the second quarter of 2015 were impacted by lower Equator revenue from the full amortization of acquisition related deferred revenue in 2014 and higher costs, as described above.

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $7.0 million decreased by 51% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($(0.3) million for the second quarter of 2015, a 105% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2014). The decrease is primarily

due to the second quarter of 2015 settlement of the Equator Earn Out which resulted in a reduction in SG&A of $7.6 million and lower bad debt expense. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in occupancy related costs driven by facility expansions and relocations.

Income from operations decreased to $0.8 million, representing 1% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $6.1 million, representing 6% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 (increased to $8.9 million, representing 16% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $3.2 million, representing 6% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2014). Income from operations as a percentage of service revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily due to the decline in gross profit margin, partially offset by recognition of the change in fair value of the Equator Earn Out, as discussed above. Income from operations as a percentage of service revenue increased for the second quarter of 2015 primarily due to the settlement of the Equator Earn Out, as discussed above.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Corporate Items and Eliminations include interest expense, other than temporary impairment loss on HLSS equity securities, dividends and gain on sale of HLSS equity securities, gain on early extinguishment of debt and costs related to corporate support functions including executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, risk, sales and marketing. It also includes eliminations of transactions between the reportable segments.

Corporate costs consist of the following:

Corporate costs for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $49.7 million increased by 38% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($19.5 million for the second quarter of 2015, an 8% increase compared to the second quarter of 2014) primarily due to higher compensation and benefits costs, legal and compliance costs related to regulatory and litigation matters, interest expense and a loss on HLSS equity securities, partially offset by the allocation of the costs incurred at certain new support groups to the segments. We incurred higher compensation and benefits costs as we expanded certain corporate functions, strengthening our sales and marketing functions. In addition, we incurred $0.6 million of severance costs in connection with cost reduction initiatives implemented during the six months ended June 30, 2015 ($0.1 million for the second quarter of 2015).

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $14.4 million increased by 50% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($7.2 million for the second quarter of 2015, a 50% increase compared to the second quarter of 2014), resulting from the additional $200.0 million senior secured term loan borrowings on August 1, 2014.

Table of Contents

In June 2015, we repurchased a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9% discount, recognizing a net gain of $1.1 million on the early extinguishment of debt.

Intercompany revenue that is eliminated in consolidation increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 and decreased for the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014. These intercompany transactions primarily consisted of IT infrastructure services. While the expenses are recognized in the Mortgage Services and Financial Services segments above, the elimination of these expenses is reflected in Corporate Items and Eliminations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flows from operations. We seek to deploy excess cash generated in a disciplined manner. Principally, we intend to use excess cash to develop complementary services and businesses that we believe will generate attractive margins in line with our core capabilities and strategy. We may consider business acquisitions and other opportunities that may arise from time to time. From January 2015 through June 2015, we used $61.7 million to repurchase Altisource common stock, repurchase a portion of the senior secured term loan and make contractual repayments of our senior secured term loan.

Our relationship with Ocwen is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could result in changes to our relationship and have an adverse effect on our liquidity. We intend to closely monitor the Ocwen related uncertainties and to modify our business plan as needed in response. As a result of these uncertainties, we intend to closely monitor our cash and cash equivalents position throughout 2015. Based on market conditions, we may continue repurchasing our common stock and/or our debt if we believe conditions are favorable.

Senior Secured Term Loan

On November 27, 2012, Altisource Solutions S.à r.l., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a senior secured term loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders. The Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the term loan. We subsequently amended the senior secured term loan agreement to increase the principal amount of the senior secured term loan and, among other changes, re-establish the $200.0 million incremental term loan facility accordion, lower the interest rate, extend the maturity date by approximately one year and increase the maximum amount of Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the senior secured term loan agreement). The lenders of the senior secured term loan, as amended, have no obligation to provide any such additional debt under the accordion provision. As of June 30, 2015, $569.9 million, net of unamortized discount of $2.6 million, was outstanding under the senior secured term loan agreement, as amended, compared to $588.6 million, net of unamortized discount of $2.9 million, as of December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

The debt covenants in the senior secured term loan agreement limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and repurchase stock. In the event we require additional liquidity, our ability to obtain it may be limited by the senior secured term loan.

Cash Flows

The following table presents our cash flows for the six months ended June 30:



(in thousands)	2015			2014			% Increase (decrease)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities generally consist of the cash effects of transactions and events that enter into the determination of net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we generated cash flows from operating activities of $54.8 million, or approximately $0.12 for every dollar of service revenue ($0.30 for every dollar of service revenue for the second quarter of 2015) compared to cash flows from operating activities of $111.5 million, or approximately $0.24 for every dollar of service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 ($0.29 for every dollar of service revenue for the second quarter of 2014). The decrease in cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 is principally driven by lower first quarter 2015 net income, after adding back depreciation and amortization including amortization of intangible assets, and unfavorable working capital changes. Changes in working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014 were principally due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the timing of payments, including higher annual incentive compensation payments.

Operating cash flows per service revenue dollar can be negatively impacted because of the nature of some of our services. Certain services are performed immediately following or shortly after the referral, but the collection of the receivable does not occur until a specific event occurs (e.g., the foreclosure is complete, the REO asset is sold, etc.) and our cash flows from operations may be negatively impacted when comparing one interim period to another.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $21.4 million and $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, primarily related to facility build-outs and investments in IT infrastructure and the development of certain software applications. In addition, from March 10, 2015 to March 17, 2015, we purchased 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $30.0 million. During April 2015, we received liquidating dividends and other dividends from HLSS totaling $20.4 million. Between April 22, 2015 and April 29, 2015, we sold all of our 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $7.7 million. Cash proceeds from the dividends and sale of the HLSS common stock totaled $28.1 million during the second quarter of 2015.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 include activity associated with share repurchases, debt repurchases and repayments, stock option exercises and payments to non-controlling interests. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we spent $44.0 million and $80.7 million, respectively, to repurchase our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we repurchased and repaid $17.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of the borrowings under the senior secured term loan, including the repurchase of a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9% discount. Stock option exercises provided proceeds of $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the six

Table of Contents

months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Distributions to non-controlling interests were $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Liquidity Requirements after June 30, 2015

On September 12, 2014, we acquired Mortgage Builder. The Mortgage Builder purchase agreement provides for the payment of up to $7.0 million in potential additional consideration based on Adjusted Revenue (as defined in the purchase agreement). We have estimated the fair value of the Mortgage Builder potential additional consideration to be $1.7 million as of June 30, 2015. The amount ultimately paid will depend on Mortgage Builder’s Adjusted Revenue in the three consecutive 12-month periods following closing.

On November 21, 2014, we acquired Owners. The Owners purchase agreement provides for a payment of up to $7.0 million of potential additional consideration based on Adjusted Revenue (as defined in the purchase agreement) earned in the two consecutive 12-month periods following closing. We have estimated the fair value of the Owners contingent consideration to be $2.1 million as of June 30, 2015. The amount ultimately paid will depend on Owners’ Adjusted Revenue earned in the two consecutive 12-month periods following closing.

On July 17, 2015, we acquired CastleLine Holdings, LLC, a specialty risk management and insurance services firm, for $37.1 million. The purchase price is comprised of $12.3 million of cash at acquisition, $10.5 million of cash payable over the next four years and $14.3 million of the Company’s common shares, or 495 thousand shares. A portion of the consideration to the founders is contingent on future employment.

During the third quarter of 2015, we expect to distribute $0.9 million to the Lenders One members representing non-controlling interests and repay $1.5 million of the senior secured term loan.

We believe that we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fund capital expenditures and required debt and interest payments for the next twelve months.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations from those identified in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, other than those that occur in the normal course of business. See also Note 20 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

We prepare our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In applying many of these accounting principles, we need to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in our interim condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and judgments, however, are often subjective. Actual results may be negatively affected based on changing circumstances. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known.

Our critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015. Those policies have not changed during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

Our financial market risk consists primarily of interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2015, the interest rate charged on the senior secured term loan was 4.50%. The interest rate is calculated based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement) with a minimum floor of 1.00% plus 3.50%.

Based on the principal amount outstanding at June 30, 2015, a one percentage point increase in the Eurodollar Rate would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $1.6 million, based on the June 30, 2015 Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. There would be no change in our annual interest expense if there was a one percentage point decrease in the Eurodollar Rate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are exposed to currency risk from potential changes in currency values of our foreign currency denominated expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows. Our most significant foreign currency exposure relates to the Indian rupee. Based on expenses incurred in Indian rupees during the six months ended June 30, 2015, a one percentage point increase or decrease in value of the Indian rupee in relation to the United States dollar would increase or decrease our annual expenses by approximately $1.2 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures


a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


b)	Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
