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 an integrated service provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries. Combining operational excellence with a suite of innovative services and technologies, Altisource helps solve the demands of the ever-changing markets we serve.
We are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ASPS.” We are organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Basis of Accounting and 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 footnotes 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 transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Altisource consolidates Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc., which is managed by The Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource. Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc. is a mortgage cooperative doing business as Lenders One
®
(“Lenders One”). MPA provides services to Lenders One under a management agreement that ends on December 31, 2025 (with renewals for
three
successive
five
-year periods at MPA’s option).
The management agreement between MPA and Lenders One, pursuant to which MPA is the management company, 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 the cooperative’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the cooperative. As a result, Lenders One is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis and the interests of the members are reflected as non-controlling interests.
As of
June 30, 2020
, Lenders One had total assets of
$
2.4
million
and total liabilities of
$
0.6
million
. As of
December 31, 2019
, Lenders One had total assets of
$
1.6
million
and total liabilities of
$
0.3
million
.
In 2019, Altisource created Pointillist, Inc. (“Pointillist”) and contributed the Pointillist
®
customer journey analytics business and
$
8.5
million
to it. Pointillist is owned by Altisource and management of Pointillist. Management of Pointillist owns a non-controlling interest representing
12.1
%
of the outstanding equity of Pointillist. Additional equity shares of Pointillist are available for issuance to management and board members of Pointillist. Altisource has no ongoing obligation to provide future funding to Pointillist. Pointillist is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis and the portion of Pointillist owned by Pointillist management is reported as non-controlling interests.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
, as filed with the SEC on
March 5, 2020
.

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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-04,
Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.
This standard simplified the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Prior guidance required that companies compute the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2 by performing procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. This standard requires companies to perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and is applied prospectively. Adoption of this new standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13,
Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
. This standard modified certain disclosure requirements such as the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard also requires new disclosures such as the disclosure of certain assumptions used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and is applied prospectively. Adoption of this new standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15,
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)
. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a hosting arrangement service contract with the existing guidance for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. This standard also requires capitalizing or expensing implementation costs based on the nature of the costs and the project stage during which they are incurred and establishes additional disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and is applied prospectively. Adoption of this new standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12,
Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
. This standard is part of the FASB’s initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards by instituting several simplifying provisions and removing several exceptions pertaining to income tax accounting. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
. This standard applies only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This standard provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting, in response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates, and, particularly, the risk of cessation of LIBOR. This standard is effective from the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a topic or an industry subtopic, the standard must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that topic or industry subtopic. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
Ocwen
Ocwen Financial Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Ocwen”) is a residential mortgage loan servicer of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) it owns, including those MSRs in which others have an economic interest, and a subservicer of MSRs owned by others.
During the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for
61
%
of our total revenue for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
(
60
%
of our revenue for the
second quarter
of
2020
). Ocwen purchases certain mortgage services from us under the terms of services agreements and amendments thereto (collectively, the “Ocwen Services Agreements”) with terms extending through August 2025. Certain of the Ocwen Services Agreements contain a “most favored nation” provision and also grant the parties the right to renegotiate pricing, among other things.
In February 2019, Altisource and Ocwen entered into agreements that, among other things, facilitated Ocwen’s transition from REALServicing and related technologies to another mortgage servicing software platform, establish a process for Ocwen to review and approve the assignment of one or more of our agreements to potential buyers of Altisource’s business lines, requiring Ocwen to use Altisource as service provider for certain service referrals totaling an amount equal to
100
%
of the applicable service referrals on certain portfolios plus an amount equal to not less than
90
%
of applicable service referrals from certain other portfolios (determined on a service by service basis), subject to certain additional restrictions and limitations, and affirm Altisource’s role as a strategic service provider to Ocwen through August 2025. In connection with these agreements, Altisource expressly preserved and did not waive any of its existing contractual rights relating to service referrals, other than with respect to Ocwen transitioning from the REALServicing and related technologies. If Altisource fails certain performance standards for specified periods of time, then Ocwen may terminate Altisource as a provider for the applicable service(s), subject to certain limitations and Altisource’s right to cure. Ocwen’s transition to another mortgage servicing platform was completed during 2019.
Revenue from Ocwen primarily consists of revenue earned from the loan portfolios serviced and subserviced by Ocwen when Ocwen engages us as the service provider, and revenue earned directly from Ocwen, pursuant to the Ocwen Services Agreements. For the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, we recognized revenue from Ocwen of
$
131.6
million
and
$
185.2
million
, respectively (
$
57.4
million
and
$
87.0
million
for the second quarter of
2020
and
2019
, respectively). Revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of consolidated revenue was
61
%
and
51
%
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively (
60
%
and
44
%
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively).
We earn additional revenue related to the portfolios serviced and subserviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selects Altisource as the service provider. For the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, we recognized revenue of
$
12.8
million
and
$
20.3
million
, respectively (
$
5.0
million
and
$
9.2
million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively), related to the portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selected Altisource as the service provider. These amounts are not included in deriving revenue from Ocwen and revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of revenue discussed above.
During the second quarter of 2020, Ocwen informed us that an investor had instructed Ocwen to use a field services provider other than Altisource on properties associated with certain MSRs. They indicated that they were instructed to begin the transition in July 2020, and that the transition should be completed in a few months. We believe Ocwen commenced using another field services provider for these properties in July 2020. Based upon the impacted portfolios to date and the designated service provider, Altisource believes that Ocwen received these directions from NRZ, but Ocwen has not confirmed this belief. The timing to complete the transition to the replacement field service provider has not been defined, but we anticipate that there will be an impact to revenue and earnings from the transfer of field services that may be material in future periods. We estimate that
$
58.2
million
and
9
Table of Content

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (

)
$
77.5
million
of service revenue from Ocwen for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (
$
27.4
million
and
$
35.1
million
for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively) was derived from Field Services referrals from the NRZ owned portfolios. Without providing the timing or specific services impacted, Ocwen also communicated to Altisource that the same investor plans to direct them to transition certain other default related service referrals to other providers. We estimate that revenue from these certain other default related services represented approximately
$
20.6
million
and
$
22.5
million
of service revenue from Ocwen for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (
$
9.0
million
and
$
10.5
million
for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively). Altisource believes that any action taken by Ocwen to redirect these service referrals breaches Altisource's agreement with Ocwen. We are currently in discussions with Ocwen to address this matter, and have reserved all of our rights with respect to this matter.
To address the potential reduction in revenue, Altisource is taking additional measures to reduce its cost structure and strengthen its operations.
As of
June 30, 2020
, accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled
$
16.3
million
,
$
14.7
million
of which was billed and
$

NRZ
New Residential Investment Corp. (individually, together with one or more of its subsidiaries or one or more of its subsidiaries individually, “NRZ”) is a real estate investment trust that invests in and manages investments primarily related to residential real estate, including MSRs and excess MSRs.
Ocwen has disclosed that NRZ is its largest client. As of June 30, 2020, NRZ owned MSRs or rights to MSRs relating to approximately
53
%
of loans serviced and subserviced by Ocwen (measured in unpaid principal balance (“UPB”)). In July 2017 and January 2018, Ocwen and NRZ entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer from Ocwen to NRZ of Ocwen’s legal title to certain of its MSRs (the “Subject MSRs”) and under which Ocwen will subservice mortgage loans underlying the MSRs for an initial term of
five years
, subject to early termination rights.
On August 28, 2017, Altisource, through its licensed subsidiaries, entered into a Cooperative Brokerage Agreement, as amended, and related letter agreement (collectively, the “Brokerage Agreement”) with NRZ which extends through August 2025. Under this agreement and related amendments, Altisource remains the exclusive provider of brokerage services for real estate owned (“REO”) associated with the Subject MSRs, irrespective of the subservicer, subject to certain limitations. NRZ’s brokerage subsidiary receives a cooperative brokerage commission on the sale of REO properties from these portfolios subject to certain exceptions.
The Brokerage Agreement may be terminated by NRZ upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Termination events include, but are not limited to, a breach of the terms of the Brokerage Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to meet performance standards and non-compliance with law in a material respect), the failure to maintain licenses which failure materially prevents performance of the contract, regulatory allegations of non-compliance resulting in an adversarial proceeding against NRZ, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, disclosure in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q that there is significant uncertainty about Altisource’s ability to continue as a going concern, failure to maintain a specified level of cash and an unapproved change of control.
For the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, we recognized revenue from NRZ of
$
4.6
million
and
$
7.0
million
, respectively (
$
1.9
million
and
$
3.0
million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively), under the Brokerage Agreement. For the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, we recognized additional revenue of
$
19.1
million
and
$
34.1
million
, respectively (
$
7.1
million
and
$
16.4
million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively), relating to the Subject MSRs when a party other than NRZ selects Altisource as the service provider.

INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES
During 2016, we purchased
4.1

included
$
1.2
million
and
$
1.5
million
, respectively, of net gains recognized on RESI shares sold during the second quarter of 2019. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and

, we earned dividends of
$
0.5
million
and
$
1.2
million
, respectively (
no

), related to this investment.
In May 2019, the Company began selling its investment in RESI common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold
0.6
million
shares for net proceeds of approximately
$
6.5
million
(

$
12.50
in cash per share. On May 4, 2020, RESI announced the termination of the merger agreement.

Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l. entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) in April 2018 with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain lenders. Under the Credit Agreement, Altisource borrowed
$
412.0
million
in the form of Term B Loans and obtained a
$
15.0
million
revolving credit facility. The Term B Loans mature in April 2024 and the revolving credit facility matures in April 2023. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain subsidiaries are guarantors of the term loan and the revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Guarantors”).
There are no mandatory repayments of the Term B Loans due until March 2023, when
$
1.3
million
is due to be repaid. Thereafter, the Term B Loans must be repaid in consecutive quarterly principal installments of
$
3.1
million
, with the balance due at maturity. All amounts outstanding under the Term B Loans will become due on the earlier of (i) April 3, 2024, and (ii) the date on which
14
Table of Content
ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

)
the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the Credit Agreement) or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default.
In addition to the scheduled principal payments, subject to certain exceptions, the Term B Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, certain casualty and condemnation events and sales of assets, as well as from a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow if our leverage ratio is greater than
3.00
to
1.00
, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement (the percentage increases if our leverage ratio exceeds
3.50
to
1.00
). Certain mandatory prepayments reduce future contractual amortization payments in direct order of maturity by an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment.
Altisource may incur incremental indebtedness under the Credit Agreement from one or more incremental lenders, which may include existing lenders, in an aggregate incremental principal amount not to exceed
$
125.0
million
, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including a sublimit of
$
80.0
million
with respect to incremental revolving credit commitments. The lenders have no obligation to provide any incremental indebtedness.
The Term B Loans bear interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a three month interest period and (y)
1.00
%
plus (ii)
4.00
%
. Base Rate term 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)
3.00
%
. The interest rate as of
June 30, 2020
was
5.00
%
.
Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a three month interest period plus (ii)
4.00
%
. Base Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate plus (ii)
3.00
%
. The unused commitment fee is
0.50
%
. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are not permitted if our leverage ratio exceeds
3.50
to
1.00
. There were
no
borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of
June 30, 2020
.
The payment of all amounts owing by Altisource under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Guarantors and is secured by a pledge of all equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Altisource, as well as a lien on substantially all of the assets of Altisource S.à r.l. and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
The Credit Agreement includes covenants that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to incur indebtedness; incur liens on our assets; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; make Restricted Junior Payments including share repurchases, dividends and repayment of junior indebtedness; make investments; dispose of equity interests of any Material Subsidiaries; engage in a line of business substantially different than existing businesses and businesses reasonably related, complimentary or ancillary thereto; 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 our fiscal year; and engage in mergers and consolidations; and to the extent any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding on the last day of a fiscal quarter, permit the Total Leverage Ratio to be greater than
3.50
:
1.00
as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, subject to a customary cure provision (the “Revolving Financial Covenant”).
The Credit 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 Credit Agreement within
five days
of becoming due, (ii) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (iii) breach of certain other covenants, subject to cure periods described in the Credit Agreement, (iv) a breach of the Revolving Financial Covenant, subject to a customary cure provision and not an Event of Default with respect to the Term Loans unless and until the Required Revolving Lenders accelerate the Revolving Credit Loans, (v) failure to pay principal or interest on any other debt that equals or exceeds
$
40.0
million
when due, (vi) 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, (vii) occurrence of a Change of Control, (viii) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (ix) 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, (x) the occurrence of certain ERISA events and (xi) 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 Credit Agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the facility could be terminated.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at amounts that approximate their fair values due to the highly liquid nature of these instruments and were measured using Level 1 inputs.
Investment in equity securities is carried at fair value and consists of
3.5
million
shares of RESI common stock as of
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
. The investment in equity securities is measured using Level 1 inputs as these securities have quoted prices in active markets.
The fair value of our senior secured term loan is based on quoted market prices. Based on the frequency of trading, we do not believe that there is an active market for our debt. Therefore, the quoted prices are considered Level 2 inputs.
In connection with the sale of the rental property management business in August 2018, Altisource will receive
$
3.0
million
on the earlier of a RESI change of control or on August 8, 2023. We measure long-term receivables without a stated interest rate based on the present value of the future payments.
There were no transfers between different levels during the periods presented.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject us to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Our policy is to deposit our cash and cash equivalents with larger, highly rated financial institutions. The Company derives over
50%
of its revenue from Ocwen (see
Note 2
for additional information on Ocwen revenues and accounts receivable balance). The Company strives to mitigate its concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by actively monitoring past due accounts and the economic status of larger customers, if known.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Share Repurchase Program
On May 15, 2018, our shareholders approved the renewal and replacement of the share repurchase program previously approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2017. Under the program, we are authorized to purchase up to
4.3
million
shares of our common stock, based on a limit of
25
%
of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval, at a minimum price of
$
1.00
per share and a maximum price of
$
500.00
per share, for a period of
five years
from the date of approval. As of
June 30, 2020
, approximately
2.4
million
shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. There were
no
purchases of shares of common stock during the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
. We purchased
0.3
million
shares of common stock at an average price of
$
21.89
per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Luxembourg law limits share repurchases to the balance of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (unconsolidated parent company) retained earnings, less the value of shares repurchased. As of
June 30, 2020
, we can repurchase up to approximately
$
94
million
of our common stock under Luxembourg law. Our Credit Agreement also limits the amount we can spend on share repurchases, which limit was approximately
$
448
million
as of
June 30, 2020
, and may prevent repurchases in certain circumstances.
Share-Based Compensation
We issue share-based awards in the form of stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units for certain employees, officers and directors. We recognized share-based compensation expense of
$
4.8
million
and
$
5.5
million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively (
$
1.9
million
and
$
2.8
million
for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively). As of
June 30, 2020
, estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards amounted to
$
8.5
million
, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately
1.51
years
.
Stock Options
Stock option grants are composed of a combination of service-based, market-based and performance-based options.
Service-Based Options.
These options generally vest over
three
or
four years
with equal annual vesting and generally expire on the earlier of
ten years
after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of
280
thousand
service-based options were outstanding as of
June 30, 2020
.
Market-Based Options
. These option grants generally have
two
components, each of which vests only upon the achievement of certain criteria. The first component, which we refer to as “ordinary performance” grants, generally 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 as “extraordinary performance” grants, generally 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. Market-based options vest in
three
or
four
year installments with the first installment vesting upon the achievement of the criteria and the remaining installments vesting thereafter in equal annual installments. Market-based options generally expire on the earlier of
ten years
after the date of grant or following termination of service, unless the performance criteria is met prior to termination of service or in the final
three years
of the option term, in which case vesting will generally continue in accordance with the provisions of the award agreement. A total of
222
thousand
market-based options were outstanding as of
June 30, 2020
.
Performance-Based Options.
These option grants generally will vest if certain specific financial measures are achieved;
one-fourth
vests on each anniversary of the grant date. For certain other financial measures, options cliff-vest upon the achievement of the specific performance during the period from 2019 through 2021. The award of performance-based options is adjusted based on the level of achievement specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above threshold performance levels, participants have the opportunity to vest in
50
%
to
200
%
of the option grants, depending upon performance achieved. If the performance criteria achieved is below a certain threshold, the options are canceled. The options generally expire on the earlier of
ten years
after the date of grant or following termination of service. There were
461
thousand
performance-based options outstanding as of
June 30, 2020
.
There were
no
stock options granted during the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
. Outstanding stock options increased by
228
thousand
in February 2019 in connection with the determination of the level of achievement for certain performance-based options granted in 2018.
The fair values of the service-based options and performance-based options are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair values of the market-based options were determined using a lattice (binomial) model.

We determined the expected option life of all service-based stock option grants using the simplified method, determined based on the graded vesting term plus the contractual term of the options, divided by two. We use the simplified method because we believe that our historical data does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected option life.

Other Share-Based Awards
The Company’s other share-based and similar types of awards are composed of restricted shares and restricted share units. The restricted shares and restricted share units are composed of a combination of service-based awards and performance-based awards.
Service-Based Awards.
These awards generally vest over
two
to
four
year periods with (a) vesting in equal annual installments, or (b) vesting of all of the restricted shares and restricted share units at the end of the vesting period. A total of
411
thousand
service-based awards were outstanding as of
June 30, 2020
. Beginning in 2019, service-based restricted share units were awarded as a component of most employees’ annual incentive compensation rather than cash.
Performance-Based Awards.
These awards generally vest if certain specific financial measures are achieved;
one-third
vests on each anniversary of the grant date or cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The number of performance-based restricted shares and restricted share units that may vest will be based on the level of achievement as specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above certain financial performance levels and Altisource’s share performance is above certain established criteria, participants have the opportunity to vest in up to
225
%
of the restricted share unit award for certain awards. If the performance criteria achieved is below certain thresholds, the award is canceled. A total of
265
thousand
performance-based awards were outstanding as of
June 30, 2020
.
The Company granted
349
thousand
restricted share units (at a weighted average grant date fair value of
$
16.26
per share) during the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
.

REVENUE
We classify revenue in three categories: service revenue, revenue from reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests. Service revenue consists of amounts attributable to our fee-based services and sales of short-term investments in real estate. 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 that we pass directly on to our customers without a markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings of Lenders One, a consolidated entity that is a mortgage cooperative managed, but not owned, by Altisource. The Lenders One members’ earnings are included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource (see
Note 1
). Our services are provided to customers located in the United States.

INCOME TAXES
We recognized an income tax provision of
$
3.5
million
and
$
15.3
million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively (
$
1.1
million
and
$
16.5
million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively). The decreases in the income tax provision for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
were primarily from a
$
12.3
million
reduction in Luxembourg deferred tax assets in connection with a decrease in the Luxembourg statutory income tax rate from
26.0%
to
24.9%
in the second quarter of 2019. The income tax provisions on losses before income taxes and non-controlling interests for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
were driven by income tax on transfer pricing income from US and foreign operations other than our Luxembourg operating company and no tax benefit on the pretax losses from our Luxembourg operating company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In August 2018, Altisource initiated Project Catalyst, a project intended to optimize its operations and reduce costs to better align its cost structure with its anticipated revenues and improve its operating margins. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and

We expect to incur additional severance costs, professional services fees, technology costs and facility consolidation costs in connection with this internal reorganization, automation and other technology

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS
We record a liability for contingencies 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.
Litigation
We are currently 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
Periodically, we are subject to audits, examinations and investigations by federal, state and local governmental authorities and receive subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other requests for information from such governmental authorities in connection with their regulatory or investigative authority. We are currently responding to such inquiries from governmental authorities 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.
Sales Taxes
On June 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court rendered a 5-4 majority decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., holding that a state may require a remote seller with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales tax on goods and services provided to purchasers in the state, overturning existing court precedent. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, the Company completed the analysis of its services for potential exposure to sales tax in various jurisdictions in the United States. The Company recognized a
$
2.1
million
net loss for the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (
no
comparative amount for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
). The Company began invoicing, collecting and remitting sales tax in applicable jurisdictions in 2019. The Company is also in the process of seeking additional reimbursements for sales tax payments from clients; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in collecting some or all of such additional reimbursements. Future changes in our estimated sales tax exposure could result in a material adjustment to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which would impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Ocwen Related Matters
As discussed in
Note 2
, during the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for
61
%
of
our total revenue (
60
%
of our revenue for the
second quarter
of
2020
). Additionally,
6
%
of our revenue for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
(
5
%
of our revenue for the
second quarter
of

) was earned on the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selected Altisource as the service provider.
Ocwen has disclosed that it is subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings, some of which include claims against Ocwen for substantial monetary damages. In addition to monetary damages, various complaints have sought to obtain permanent injunctive relief, consumer redress, refunds, restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties, costs and fees and other relief. Existing or future similar matters could result in, and in some cases, have resulted in, adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. Previous regulatory actions against Ocwen have subjected Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placed certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights. In addition to the above, Ocwen may become subject to future adverse regulatory or other actions.
Ocwen has disclosed that NRZ is its largest client. As of June 30, 2020, NRZ owned MSRs or rights to MSRs relating to approximately
53
%
of loans serviced and subserviced by Ocwen (measured in UPB). In July 2017 and January 2018, Ocwen and NRZ entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer from Ocwen to NRZ of Ocwen’s legal title to the Subject MSRs and under which Ocwen will subservice mortgage loans underlying the Subject MSRs for an initial term of
five years
. NRZ can terminate its sub-servicing agreement with Ocwen in exchange for the payment of a termination fee.

The existence or outcome of Ocwen regulatory matters or the termination of the NRZ sub-servicing agreement with Ocwen may have significant adverse effects on Ocwen’s business and/or our continuing relationship with Ocwen. For example, Ocwen may be required to alter the way it conducts business, including the parties it contracts with for services, it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose its non-government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing or origination licenses. Additional regulatory actions or adverse financial developments may impose additional restrictions on or require changes in Ocwen’s business that could require it to sell assets or change its business operations. Any or all of these effects and others could result in our eventual loss of Ocwen as a customer or a reduction in the number and/or volume of services they purchase from us or the loss of other customers.
During the second quarter of 2020, Ocwen informed us that an investor had instructed Ocwen to use a field services provider other than Altisource on properties associated with certain MSRs. They indicated that they were instructed to begin the transition in July 2020, and that the transition should be completed in a few months. We believe Ocwen commenced using another field services provider for these properties in July 2020. Based upon the impacted portfolios to date and the designated service provider, Altisource believes that Ocwen received these directions from NRZ, but Ocwen has not confirmed this belief. The timing to complete the transition to the replacement field service provider has not been defined, but we anticipate that there will be an impact to revenue and earnings from the transfer of field services that may be material in future periods. We estimate that
$
58.2
million
and
$
77.5
million
of service revenue from Ocwen for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (
$
27.4
million
and
$
35.1
million
for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively) was derived from Field Services referrals from the NRZ owned portfolios. Without providing the timing or specific services impacted, Ocwen also communicated to Altisource that the same investor plans to direct them to transition certain other default related service referrals to other providers. We estimate that revenue from these certain other default related services represented approximately
$
20.6
million
and
$
22.5
million
of service revenue from Ocwen for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (
$
9.0
million
and
$
10.5
million
for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively). Altisource believes that any action taken by Ocwen to redirect these service referrals breaches Altisource's agreement with Ocwen. We are currently in discussions with Ocwen to address this matter, and have reserved all of our rights with respect to this matter.
To address the potential reduction in revenue, Altisource is taking additional measures to reduce its cost structure and strengthen its operations.
In addition to expected reductions in our revenue from the Field Services referrals transition, if any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue could be further significantly reduced and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected, including from the possible 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 an additional significant reduction in the volume of services they purchase from us
•
Ocwen loses, sells or transfers a significant portion of its GSE and Federal Housing Administration servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or remaining non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements and Altisource fails to be retained as a service provider
•
The contractual relationship between Ocwen and NRZ changes significantly and this change results in a change in our status as a provider of services related to the Subject MSRs
•
Ocwen loses 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
•
Altisource otherwise fails to be retained as a service provider
Management cannot predict whether any of these events will occur or the amount of any impact they may have on Altisource. However, we are focused on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base and we have a sales and marketing strategy to support these efforts. Moreover, in the event one or more of these events materially negatively impact Altisource, we believe the variable nature of our cost structure would allow us to realign our cost structure in line with remaining revenue and that current liquidity and cash flows from operations would be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other cash needs. There can be no assurance that our plans will be successful or our operations will be profitable.
Leases

Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements
(collectively “Topic 842”). Topic 842 introduced a new lessee model that brings substantially all leases on the balance sheet. The Company

)
adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, including allowing the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification, using hindsight to determine the lease term for existing leases, combining fixed lease and non-lease components and excluding short-term leases. Adoption of this new standard resulted in the recognition of
$

of right-of-use assets in right-of-use assets under operating leases,
$
45.5
million
of operating lease liabilities (
$

$
28.8
million
in other non-current liabilities) and reduced accrued rent and lease incentives of
$
3.4
million
in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We lease certain premises and equipment, primarily consisting of office space and information technology equipment. Certain of our leases include options to renew at our discretion or terminate leases early, and these options are considered in our determination of the expected lease term. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We sublease certain office space to third parties. Sublease income was

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 and sales of short-term investments in real estate. 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 that we pass directly on to our customers without a markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings

of Lenders One. Lenders One is a mortgage cooperative managed, but not owned, by Altisource. The Lenders One members’ earnings are included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource.
Strategy and Core Businesses
We are focused on becoming the premier provider of mortgage and real estate marketplaces and related services to a broad and diversified customer base of residential loan investors and servicers, and originators. The real estate and mortgage marketplaces represent very large markets, and we believe our scale and suite of offerings provide us with competitive advantages that could support our growth.
Through our offerings that support residential loan investors and servicers, we provide a suite of services and technologies intended to meet their growing and evolving needs. We are focused on growing referrals from our existing customer base and attracting new customers to our offerings. We have a customer base that includes government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”), asset managers, and several large bank and non-bank servicers including Ocwen and NRZ. We believe we are one of only a few providers with a broad suite of servicer solutions, nationwide coverage and scalability. Further, we believe we are well positioned to gain market share from existing and new customers in the event delinquency rates rise, or customers and prospects consolidate to larger, full-service providers or outsource services that have historically been performed in-house.
We also provide services to loan originators (or other similar mortgage market participants) in originating, buying and selling residential mortgages. We provide a suite of services and technologies to meet the evolving and growing needs of lenders, mortgage purchasers and securitizers. We are focused on growing referrals from our existing customer base and attracting new customers to our offerings. We have a customer base that includes the Lenders One cooperative mortgage bankers and mid-size and larger bank and non-bank loan originators. We believe our suite of services, technologies and unique access to the members of the Lenders One mortgage cooperative position us to grow our relationships with our existing customer base by providing additional products, services and solutions to these customers. Further, we believe we are well positioned to gain market share from existing and new customers in the event origination volumes rise, or customers and prospects consolidate to larger, full-service providers or outsource services that have historically been performed in-house.
Our earlier stage business consists of Pointillist, Inc. (“Pointillist”). The Pointillist business was developed by Altisource through our consumer analytics capabilities. We believe the Pointillist business is a potentially disruptive SaaS-based platform which provides unique customer journey analytics at scale and enables customers to engage through our intelligent platform. During 2019, we created Pointillist as a separate legal entity to position it for accelerated growth and outside investment and contributed the Pointillist business and $8.5 million to it. Pointillist is owned by Altisource and management of Pointillist. Management of Pointillist owns a non-controlling interest representing 12.1% of the outstanding equity of Pointillist. Additional equity shares of Pointillist are available for issuance to management and board members of Pointillist. Altisource has an option, but no ongoing obligation, to participate in future funding of Pointillist.
We previously reported the results of Owners.com as an earlier stage business. In October 2019, the Company announced its plans to wind down and close the Owners.com business, which was completed by December 31, 2019.
COVID-19 Pandemic Impacts
The COVID-19 pandemic is having an unprecedented impact on human life and the economy, including the real estate, mortgage and servicing industries in which we operate. Our first half of 2020 financial performance in our default related services businesses was negatively impacted by COVID-19 related governmental restrictions on services that could be performed and travel (i.e., only essential services and travel), restrictions on governmental services available (e.g., title offices closed), government measures to provide financial support to borrowers, and changing vendor and consumer behavior. This impact was partially offset by stronger performance from our origination related businesses that benefited from lower interest rates throughout most of the first half of 2020. We anticipate the COVID-19 circumstances will continue to have a negative impact on our default related services businesses. We further anticipate that the duration and quantum of this impact will be influenced by economic, regulatory and other factors that influence mortgage delinquency and foreclosure rates, evictions and the market for sales of one to four family homes. As long as these factors persist, we anticipate continued negative impact on our default related services businesses.
As a result of COVID-19, during portions of the first half of 2020 at differing times, certain jurisdictions in the United States have operated under certain social distancing restrictions, and restrictions on travel and commerce. The government has provided various forms of borrower assistance, including forbearance programs and foreclosure and eviction moratoriums. Despite government assistance programs, there has been a significant negative impact on United States employment, with a June 2020 unemployment rate of 11% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These factors, together with the general economic impact of the pandemic, have led to a disruption in the real estate, mortgage and servicing markets. While we cannot predict the duration of the pandemic and future governmental measures that may continue to reduce foreclosure initiations and sales, we believe the
28
Table of Contents
short- to medium-term revenue impact to Altisource will largely be driven by two factors. First, with most of the population of the United States practicing social distancing and limiting interactions with others, and with growing unemployment throughout the country, we expect that home buying activity will continue to be significantly lower. We anticipate that this will largely negatively impact our Hubzu and settlement services businesses. Second, with foreclosure and eviction moratoriums, forbearance plans and other borrower relief actions, along with social distancing restrictions, we anticipate that foreclosure, eviction and REO referrals will be substantially lower. Based upon ATTOM Data Solutions reporting, foreclosure starts and completions declined by approximately 44% for the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The decline accelerated in the second quarter of 2020, with foreclosure starts down by approximately 80% compared to the second quarter 2019 and foreclosure completions in June 2020 were 76% lower than compared to June 2019. As long as these factors persist, we anticipate a continued negative impact on our Equator, title, foreclosure trustee, valuation, field services and REO businesses.
In addition, governmental restrictions on movement and the provision of certain services, social distancing requirements, the closure of or reduced services provided by certain governmental offices, vendors’ refusals or inability to provide certain services in certain jurisdictions and limitations on the availability of supplies have negatively impacted our Field Services business. Governmental restrictions and designations of essential services are subject to interpretation and have been evolving, negatively impacting the ability and willingness of our vendors in applicable jurisdictions to perform services and limiting services that we are able to provide to our customers, negatively impacting our Field Services businesses. Limited availability of supplies has also restricted the amount of services that we can provide, and in some cases, has increased the costs that we pay for these services. Some of our vendors have also refused to perform services that may involve contact with the public further limiting the services that we are capable of providing to customers. As long as these factors persist, we anticipate continued negative impact to our Field Services business.
At the same time, our originations businesses benefitted from the decline in mortgage interest rates and the growing refinance market. To the extent these factors continue, we anticipate stronger than planned growth in our origination related services. This potential growth could be limited, however, by the government’s and GSEs’ willingness, and purchase price, to acquire loans in forbearance, higher unemployment rates and economic deterioration.
Although the default related business experienced a modest rebound late in June, with June 2020 default related service revenue approximately 10% higher than May 2020, we believe this reflects the partial re-opening of businesses that support real estate sales as the industry implements measures to operate in this COVID-19 environment. Given declining default related referrals and inventory and the recent large increases in COVID-19 cases across many states and the extension of the federal foreclosure moratoriums through August 2020, it is too early to determine whether this trend will continue. To address this challenging environment, we implemented cost reduction measures in the second quarter of 2020, and as a result, we have been able to reduce the anticipated cash burn and maintain a strong cash position ending the quarter with $98.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable equity securities.
Altisource is attempting to adapt to the evolving situation, including by:
•
Taking steps designed to maintain the health and safety of our employees
•
Adjusting operations to mitigate the impact to its customers and business while complying with governmental orders
•
Addressing our cost structure and preserving liquidity to prepare for what could be a period of lower revenue than planned
During March 2020, we began implementing our business continuity plans and enabling remote work capabilities across the organization. Altisource has transitioned the majority of its global workforce to work remotely. We have largely been able to maintain our productivity, despite this shift to remote work arrangements. We have implemented heightened hygiene protocols to help safeguard the health of the small number of employees who continue to perform critical functions from certain facilities that cannot be performed remotely.
We adjusted our operations in response to the current environment. In addition to the cost reduction measures described below, we sought to retain and deploy otherwise underutilized employees to increase the capacity of our originations businesses. Our customer relationship management, sales and operations teams are in regular contact with our customers concerning changing circumstances and impacts on services and performance levels. We are seeking to work with our customers to adjust services and operations to address the COVID-19 business related challenges and opportunities.
We are also preparing Altisource for what could be an extended period of lower revenue than planned from the near-term economic effects of COVID-19 and the governmental response to it. The Company has
$68.2 million
in cash and equivalents as of
June 30, 2020
. Our liquidity position has been further enhanced by our debt reduction efforts over the last several years. Our current outstanding debt on our senior secured term loan is
$293.8 million
.
29
Table of Contents
We have and continue to seek to address our cost structure. In addition to undertaking cost reduction activities planned prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took several additional measures to further reduce our 2020 cash expenses. These measures included employee furloughs and terminations, the elimination of certain discretionary spending and temporary employee and Board compensation reductions. As a result of these cost reduction activities, we anticipate reducing our 2020 cash expenses, in addition to outside fees and services that generally decline proportionately with a decline in service referrals, by an estimated
$45 million
to
$50 million
compared to the fourth quarter 2019 annual run rate. Based upon our revenue and working capital forecasts, and the successful implementation of our planned cash expense reductions, we anticipate that we can adequately support the cash needs of the business largely from the results of operations.
We are also positioning our businesses to be able to respond to what we believe will be strong medium- to longer-term demand for our default related services from anticipated growth in loan delinquencies. Increasing delinquencies have the potential to result in an increase in demand for our default related services businesses, including an increase in demand for inspection and preservation services, real estate auction and brokerage services, foreclosure trustee services, valuation services, and title and settlement services. We also anticipate that the current unprecedented level of foreclosure, eviction and other mortgage borrower relief will likely subside and, if unemployment rates remain elevated, delinquency levels are likely to be higher than they were before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Given the countercyclical nature of several of our businesses, we believe Altisource has the potential to benefit from such an environment.
Share Repurchase Program
On May 15, 2018, our shareholders approved the renewal and replacement of the share repurchase program previously approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2017. Under the program, we are authorized to purchase up to
4.3 million
shares of our common stock, based on a limit of
25%
of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval, at a minimum price of
$1.00
per share and a maximum price of
$500.00
per share, for a period of
five
years from the date of approval. As of
June 30, 2020
, approximately
2.4 million
shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. There were
no
purchases of shares of common stock during the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
. We purchased
0.3 million
shares of common stock at an average price of
$21.89
per share during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Luxembourg law limits share repurchases to the balance of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (unconsolidated parent company) retained earnings, less the value of shares repurchased. As of
June 30, 2020
, we can repurchase up to approximately
$94 million
of our common stock under Luxembourg law. Our Credit Agreement also limits the amount we can spend on share repurchases, which limit was approximately
$448 million
as of
June 30, 2020
, and may prevent repurchases in certain circumstances.
Ocwen Related Matters
During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for
61%
of our total revenue for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
(
60%
of our revenue for the
second quarter
of
2020
). Additionally,
6%
of our revenue for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
(
5%
of our revenue for the
second quarter
of
2020
) was earned on the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen or the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) owner selected Altisource as the service provider.
Ocwen has disclosed that it is subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings, some of which include claims against Ocwen for substantial monetary damages. In addition to monetary damages, various complaints have sought to obtain permanent injunctive relief, consumer redress, refunds, restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties, costs and fees and other relief. Existing or future similar matters could result in, and in some cases, have resulted in, adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. Previous regulatory actions against Ocwen have subjected Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placed certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights. In addition to the above, Ocwen may become subject to future adverse regulatory or other actions.
Ocwen has disclosed that NRZ is its largest client. As of June 30, 2020, NRZ owned MSRs or rights to MSRs relating to approximately
53%
of loans serviced and subserviced by Ocwen (measured in unpaid principal balance). In July 2017 and January 2018, Ocwen and NRZ entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer from Ocwen to NRZ of Ocwen’s legal title to certain of its MSRs (the “Subject MSRs”) and under which Ocwen will subservice mortgage loans underlying the MSRs for an initial term of
five
years. NRZ can terminate its sub-servicing agreement with Ocwen in exchange for the payment of a termination fee.
The existence or outcome of Ocwen regulatory matters or the termination of the NRZ sub-servicing agreement with Ocwen may have significant adverse effects on Ocwen’s business and/or our continuing relationship with Ocwen. For example, Ocwen may be required to alter the way it conducts business, including the parties it contracts with for services, it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing or origination licenses. Additional regulatory actions or adverse financial developments
30
Table of Contents
may impose additional restrictions on or require changes in Ocwen’s business that could require it to sell assets or change its business operations. Any or all of these effects and others could result in our eventual loss of Ocwen as a customer or a reduction in the number and/or volume of services they purchase from us or the loss of other customers.
During the second quarter of 2020, Ocwen informed us that an investor had instructed Ocwen to use a field services provider other than Altisource on properties associated with certain MSRs. They indicated that they were instructed to begin the transition in July 2020, and that the transition should be completed in a few months. We believe Ocwen commenced using another field services provider for these properties in July 2020. Based upon the impacted portfolios to date and the designated service provider, Altisource believes that Ocwen received these directions from NRZ, but Ocwen has not confirmed this belief. The timing to complete the transition to the replacement field service provider has not been defined, but we anticipate that there will be an impact to revenue and earnings from the transfer of field services that may be material in future periods. We estimate that
$58.2 million
and
$77.5 million
of service revenue from Ocwen for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (
$27.4 million
and
$35.1 million
for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively) was derived from Field Services referrals from the NRZ owned portfolios. Without providing the timing or specific services impacted, Ocwen also communicated to Altisource that the same investor plans to direct them to transition certain other default related service referrals to other providers. We estimate that revenue from these certain other default related services represented approximately
$20.6 million
and
$22.5 million
of service revenue from Ocwen for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively (
$9.0 million
and
$10.5 million
for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively). Altisource believes that any action taken by Ocwen to redirect these service referrals breaches Altisource's agreement with Ocwen. We are currently in discussions with Ocwen to address this matter, and have reserved all of our rights with respect to this matter.
To address the potential reduction in revenue, Altisource is taking additional measures to reduce its cost structure and strengthen its operations.
In addition to expected reductions in our revenue from the Field Services referrals transition, if any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue could be further significantly reduced and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected, including from the possible 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 an additional significant reduction in the volume of services they purchase from us
•
Ocwen loses, sells or transfers a significant portion of its GSE and Federal Housing Administration servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or remaining non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements and Altisource fails to be retained as a service provider
•
The contractual relationship between Ocwen and NRZ changes significantly and this change results in a change in our status as a provider of services related to the Subject MSRs
•
Ocwen loses 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
•
Altisource otherwise fails to be retained as a service provider
Management cannot predict whether any of these events will occur or the amount of any impact they may have on Altisource. However, we are focused on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base and we have a sales and marketing strategy to support these efforts. Moreover, in the event one or more of these events materially negatively impact Altisource, we believe the variable nature of our cost structure would allow us to realign our cost structure in line with remaining revenue and that current liquidity and cash flows from operations would be sufficient to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other cash needs. There can be no assurance that our plans will be successful or our operations will be profitable.
Factors Affecting Comparability
The following items impact the comparability of our results:
•
The Company’s financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 in its default related services businesses was negatively impacted by COVID-19 related governmental restrictions and changing vendor and consumer behavior. This impact was partially offset by stronger performance from the Company’s origination related businesses that benefited from lower interest rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. Across the Company’s three core businesses, service revenue from customers other than Ocwen, NRZ and Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 grew by 5% and 19%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, despite the COVID-19 impacts the Company started facing late in the first quarter of 2020. Compared
31
Table of Contents
to the six months ended June 30, 2019, the increase is primarily from the growth in our customer base and market share expansion. Service revenue from the origination businesses such as loan fulfillment, loan certification, title, settlement and valuation services in Mortgage and Real Estate Solutions grew by 44% for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
(35% for the
second quarter
of
2020
). In the Marketplace and Field Services businesses, revenue growth from customers other than Ocwen and NRZ was more than offset by lower revenue from Ocwen’s declining servicing portfolio and the impact of COVID-19.
•
During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, we recognized an unrealized (loss) gain of
$(12.6) million
and
$14.0 million
, respectively, (
$(11.2) million
and
$11.8 million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively) from the change in fair value on our investment in RESI in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss from a change in the market value of RESI common shares.
•
In August 2018, Altisource initiated Project Catalyst, a project intended to optimize its operations and reduce costs to better align its cost structure with its anticipated revenues and improve its operating margins. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, Altisource incurred
$8.7 million
and
$6.3 million
, respectively, (
$5.8 million
and
$1.9 million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively) of severance costs, professional services fees, facility consolidation costs, technology costs and business wind down costs related to the reorganization plan. Altisource expects to incur additional severance costs, professional services fees, technology costs and facility consolidation costs in connection with this internal reorganization, automation and other technology related activities and will expense those costs as incurred. Based on the Company’s analysis, it currently anticipates the future costs relating to Project Catalyst to be in the range of approximately
$4 million
to
$7 million
and does not include any anticipated costs associated with COVID-19 cost savings initiatives or planned cost reductions in connection with Ocwen’s decision to move certain field services referrals to another provider.
•
On July 1, 2019, Altisource sold its Financial Services business, consisting of post-charge-off consumer debt and mortgage charge-off collection services and customer relationship management services (the “Financial Services Business”) to Transworld Systems Inc. (“TSI”) for
$44.0 million
consisting of an upfront payment of
$40.0 million
, subject to a working capital adjustment (finalized during 2019) and transaction costs upon closing of the sale, and an additional
$4.0 million
payment on the one year anniversary of the sale closing, which was received on July 1, 2020. The parties also entered into a transition services agreement to provide for the management and orderly transition of certain services and technologies to TSI for periods ranging from
2 months
to
13 months
, subject to additional 3 month extensions. As of July 1, 2020, nearly all of the transition services and technologies have been fully transitioned to TSI. For the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, service revenue from the Financial Services Business was
$17.3 million
and
$33.4 million
, respectively (no comparative amount for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
).
•
In February 2019, Altisource and Ocwen entered into agreements that, among other things, facilitated Ocwen’s transition from REALServicing and related technologies to another mortgage servicing software platform. The transition was completed during 2019. For the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, service revenue from REALServicing and related technologies was
$11.6 million
(
$4.6 million
for the
second quarter
of
2019
).
•
In November 2018, the Company announced its plans to sell its short-term investments in real estate and exit the Company’s BRS business. For the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, service revenue from BRS was
$39.7 million
and
$42.2 million
, respectively (no comparative amount for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
).
•
In May 2019, the Company began selling its investment in RESI common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold
0.6 million
shares for net proceeds of approximately
$6.5 million
(
no
comparative amount for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2020
). As required by the senior secure term loan agreement, the Company is using the net proceeds to repay a portion of its senior secured term loan.
•
In October 2019, the Company announced its plans to wind down and close the Owners.com business, which was completed by December 31, 2019. For the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, service revenue from Owners.com was
$2.2 million
and
$3.8 million
, respectively (
no
comparative amount for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
).
•
On June 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court rendered a 5-4 majority decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., holding that a state may require a remote seller with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales tax on goods and services provided to purchasers in the state, overturning certain existing court precedent. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, the Company completed the analysis of its services for potential exposure to sales tax in various jurisdictions in the United States. The Company recognized a
$2.1 million
net loss for the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (
no
comparative amount for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
). The Company began invoicing, collecting and remitting sales tax in applicable jurisdictions in 2019. The Company is also in the process of seeking additional reimbursements for sales tax payments from clients; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in collecting some or all of such additional reimbursements.
32
Table of Contents
Future changes in our estimated sales tax exposure could result in a material adjustment to our consolidated financial statements which would impact our financial condition and results of operations.
•
The Company recognized an income tax provision of
$3.5 million
and
$15.3 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively (
$1.1 million
and
$16.5 million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively). The decreases in the income tax provision for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
were primarily from a $12.3 million reduction in Luxembourg deferred tax assets in connection with a decrease in the Luxembourg statutory income tax rate from 26.0% to 24.9% in the second quarter of 2019. The income tax provisions on losses before income taxes and non-controlling interests for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
were driven by income tax on transfer pricing income from US and foreign operations other than our Luxembourg operating company and no tax benefit on the pretax losses from our Luxembourg operating company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

We recognized service revenue of
$204.2 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, a
43%
decrease compared to the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
(
$91.0 million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
, a
52%
decrease compared to the
second quarter
of
2019
), primarily from the 2019 sale, discontinuation and exit from certain businesses (resulting in a 33% and 26% decline in service revenue for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, respectively). Service revenue was also lower during these periods from COVID-19 pandemic related governmental restrictions and changing vendor and consumer behavior on demand for Field Services, Marketplace and default related services in Mortgage and Real Estate Solutions. In addition, service revenue declined from a reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio and NRZ’s more aggressive sale of homes at the foreclosure auction (which reduces our REO auction, brokerage, field services and title service revenue). These decreases were partially offset by a 5% and 19% increase in revenue from customers other than Ocwen, NRZ and RESI for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, respectively, in our Field Services, Marketplace and Mortgage and Real Estate Solutions businesses from new customer on-boardings, market share expansion with existing customers, and higher origination related volumes driven by lower interest rates. Service revenue from the origination businesses such as loan fulfillment, loan certification, title, settlement and valuation services in Mortgage and Real Estate Solutions grew by 44% for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
(35% for the
second quarter
of
2020
). Other service revenue declined for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
from the July 1, 2019 sale of the Financial Services Business, lower REALServicing revenue from Ocwen’s migration to another servicing system, the discontinuation of the BRS business and the wind down of Owners.com compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
We recognized reimbursable expense revenue of
$11.7 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, a
26%
increase compared to the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
(
$3.8 million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
, a
20%
decrease compared to the
second quarter
of
2019
). The increase for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
was primarily driven by an increase in reimbursable expense revenue from a new early stage disposition service offering (cash for keys program and evictions) initiated in June 2019 in Marketplace, partially offset by lower Field Services revenue consistent with the decline in service revenue discussed above. The decrease in reimbursable expense revenue for the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by lower Field Services revenue consistent with the decline in service revenue discussed above, partially offset by an increase in certain title and foreclosure trustee volumes in Mortgage and Real Estate Solutions and a new early stage disposition service offering in Marketplace.
Certain of our revenues can be impacted by seasonality. More specifically, revenues from property sales, loan originations and certain property preservation services in Field Services typically tend to be at their lowest level during the fall and winter months and at their highest level during the spring and summer months.

decrease compared to the

, a
46%
decrease compared to the

). The decreases in compensation and benefits, outside fees and services and cost of real estate sold were primarily driven by lower service revenue in Field Services and Marketplace businesses, the July 1, 2019 sale of the Financial Services Business and the discontinuation of the BRS business and wind down of Owners.com discussed in the revenue section above. Compensation and benefits also decreased due to lower headcount and temporary reductions in compensation in connection with cash cost savings measures initiated in the second quarter of 2020 in response to the COVID-19 related decreases in service revenue discussed in the revenue section above and as a result of the Project Catalyst reorganization. The changes in reimbursable expenses were consistent with the changes in reimbursable expense revenue discussed in the revenue section above.

June 30, 2020
decreased compared to the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, primarily due to revenue mix with lower revenue from higher margin Marketplace businesses and the impact of the July 1, 2019 sale of the Financial Services Business. These decreases were partially offset by our COVID-19 cash cost savings measures, Project Catalyst cost reduction initiatives and higher revenue in the second quarter of 2019 from the sale of the majority of the short-term investments in real estate (“BRS Inventory”) that resulted in a $1.8 million loss.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include payroll for personnel employed in executive, sales and marketing, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, facilities and risk management roles. This category also includes professional services fees, occupancy costs, marketing costs, depreciation and amortization of non-operating assets and other expenses.

SG&A expenses for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
of
$52.8 million
decreased by
33%
compared to the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
(
$24.7 million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
, a
32%
decrease compared to the
second quarter
of
2019
). The decreases were primarily driven by lower compensation and benefits, occupancy related costs, amortization of intangible assets, marketing costs and Other expenses. Compensation and benefits decreased as we reduced headcount and temporarily reduced compensation from COVID-19 cash cost savings measures and Project Catalyst cost reduction initiatives. The decreases in occupancy related costs primarily resulted from the July 1, 2019 sale of the Financial Services Business and facility consolidation initiatives. The decrease in amortization of intangible assets was driven by the completion of the amortization period of certain intangible assets during 2019, the July 1, 2019 sale of the Financial Services Business and lower revenue generated from the Homeward Residential, Inc. and Residential Capital, LLC portfolios (revenue-based amortization) consistent with the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio, discussed in the revenue section above. The decreases in marketing costs were primarily driven by the wind down of Owners.com in the fourth quarter of 2019. Other expenses decreased primarily due to lower travel and entertainment costs driven by lower headcount and COVID-19 travel restrictions and a $2.1 million contingent loss accrual for sales tax exposure in the United States recognized during the first quarter of 2019.
Other Operating Expenses
In August 2018, Altisource initiated Project Catalyst, a project intended to optimize our operations and reduce costs to better align its cost structure with its anticipated revenues and improve our operating margins. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, Altisource incurred
$8.7 million
and
$6.3 million
, respectively (
$5.8 million
and
$1.9 million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively), of severance costs, professional services fees, facility consolidation costs, technology costs and business wind down costs related to the reorganization plan. Altisource expects to incur additional severance costs, professional services fees, technology costs and facility consolidation costs in connection with this internal reorganization, automation and other technology related activities and will expense those costs as incurred. Based on the Company’s analysis, it currently anticipates the future costs relating to Project Catalyst to be in the range of approximately
$4 million
to
$7 million
.
(Loss) Income from Operations
Income from operations decreased to a loss of
$(21.9) million
, representing
(11)%
of service revenue, for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, compared to
$4.8 million
, representing
1%
of service revenue, for the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
(decreased to a loss of
$(17.8) million
, representing
(20)%
of service revenue, for the
second quarter
of
2020
compared to
$5.4 million
, representing
3%
of service revenue, for the
second quarter
of
2019
). Income from operations as a percentage of service revenue decreased for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, primarily as a result of lower gross profit margins and higher restructuring costs, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses, as discussed above.
Other Income (Expense), net
Other income (expense), net principally includes interest expense, unrealized (loss) gain on our investment in RESI common shares and other non-operating gains and losses.
Other income (expense), net was
$(21.0) million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$3.2 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
(
$(16.0) million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
$6.5 million
the
second quarter
of
2019
). The decreases in other income were primarily driven by
$(11.2) million
and
$(12.6) million
unrealized losses on our investment in RESI common shares for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, respectively, compared to
$11.8 million
and
$14.0 million
unrealized gains for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2019
, respectively. These decreases in other income were partially
37
Table of Contents
offset by lower interest expense during the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
. Interest expense decreased primarily due to lower average outstanding balances of the senior secured term loan as a result of repayments during 2019 and lower interest rates. For the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, the interest rate of the senior secured term loan was 5.70% compared to 6.49% for the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
(5.45% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 6.60% for the second quarter of 2019).
Income Tax Provision
We recognized an income tax provision of
$3.5 million
and
$15.3 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively (
$1.1 million
and
$16.5 million
for the
second quarter
of
2020
and
2019
, respectively). The decreases in the income tax provision for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
were primarily from a $12.3 million reduction in Luxembourg deferred tax assets in connection with a decrease in the Luxembourg statutory income tax rate from 26.0% to 24.9% in the second quarter of 2019. The income tax provisions on losses before income taxes and non-controlling interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were driven by the income tax on transfer pricing income from US and foreign operations other than our Luxembourg operating company and no tax benefit on the pretax losses from our Luxembourg operating company for the three and
six months ended
June 30, 2020
.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our primary source of liquidity has historically been cash flow from operations and cash on hand. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a reduction in cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as lower service revenue has not been fully offset by cash cost savings initiatives. We seek to deploy cash generated in a disciplined manner. Principally, we intend to use cash to develop and grow complementary services and businesses that we believe will generate attractive margins in line with our core capabilities and strategy. We use cash for repayments of our long-term debt, capital investments and we anticipate that we may use cash from time to time to repurchase shares of our common stock. In addition, we consider and evaluate business acquisitions, dispositions, closures or other similar actions from time to time that are aligned with our strategy.
Credit Agreement
In 2018, Altisource entered into the Credit Agreement pursuant to which Altisource borrowed
$412.0 million
in the form of Term B Loans and obtained a
$15.0 million
revolving credit facility. The Term B Loans mature in April 2024 and the revolving credit facility matures in April 2023. As of
June 30, 2020
,
$293.8 million
of the Term B Loans were outstanding. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are not permitted if our leverage ratio exceeds to 3.50 to 1.00. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of
June 30, 2020
.
There are no mandatory repayments of the Term B Loans due until March 2023, when
$1.3 million
is due to be repaid. Thereafter, the Term B Loans must be repaid in consecutive quarterly principal installments of
$3.1 million
, with the balance due at maturity. All amounts outstanding under the Term B Loans will become due on the earlier of (i) April 3, 2024, 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 (as defined in the Credit Agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the Credit Agreement) or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default.
In addition to the scheduled principal payments, subject to certain exceptions, the Term B Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, certain casualty and condemnation events and sales of assets, as well as from a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow if our leverage ratio is greater than
3.00
to
1.00
, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement (the percentage increases if our leverage ratio exceeds
3.50
to
1.00
). Certain mandatory prepayments reduce future contractual amortization payments by an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment.
The interest rate on the Term B Loans as of
June 30, 2020
was
5.00%
.
Altisource may incur incremental indebtedness under the Credit Agreement from one or more incremental lenders, which may include existing lenders, in an aggregate incremental principal amount not to exceed
$125.0 million
, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including a sublimit of
$80.0 million
with respect to incremental revolving credit commitments. The lenders have no obligation to provide any incremental indebtedness.
The Credit Agreement includes covenants that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to incur additional debt, pay dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock. In the event we require additional liquidity, our ability to obtain it may be limited by the Credit Agreement.

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, 2020
, cash flows used in operating activities were
$(11.2) million
, or approximately
$(0.05)
for every dollar of service revenue (
$(0.11)
for every dollar of service revenue for the
second quarter
of
2020
), compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of
$33.2 million
, or approximately
$0.09
for every dollar of service revenue for the
six months ended
June 30, 2019
(
$0.21
for every dollar of service revenue for the
second quarter
of
2019
). During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, the decrease in cash provided by operating activities was driven by a
$37.8 million
increase in net loss, adjusted for non-cash items and higher cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities of
$6.5 million
. The increase in net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, was primarily due to lower gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from lower service revenue driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced customer volumes, the July 1, 2019 sale of the Financial Services Business and higher restructuring costs, partially offset by decreases in expenses as a result of COVID-19 cash cost savings measures, the Project Catalyst cost reduction initiatives and lower SG&A expenses. The increase in cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities was driven by the decrease in short-term investments in real estate of $39.5 million primarily related to the sale of the majority of the remaining BRS Inventory in the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
. The cash flow impact of the prior year decrease in short-term investments was partially offset by a decrease in cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities driven by $6.9 million of payments of sales tax accruals during the first quarter of 2019, lower cash payments for annual incentive compensation bonuses in the first quarter of 2020 by $7.3 million and a decrease in accounts receivable of
$7.2 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to an increase in accounts receivable of
$15.8 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2019, largely driven by the timing of collections. During 2019, accounts receivable increased in part as a result of delays in receiving payments from Ocwen in connection with Ocwen’s transition to another mortgage servicing software platform. Operating cash flows can be negatively impacted because of the nature of some of our services and the mix of services provided. 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.). Furthermore, lower margin services generate lower income and cash flows from operations. Consequently, our cash flows from operations may be negatively impacted when comparing one period to another.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
consisted of additions to premises and equipment, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, included proceeds from the sale of a business and proceeds from the sale of equity securities. Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities were
$(1.5) million
and
$6.6 million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively. The change in cash provided by investing activities was primarily driven by
$6.5 million
in proceeds received from the sale of a portion of our investment in RESI common stock during the second quarter of 2019.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
primarily included payments of tax withholdings on issuance of restricted share units and restricted shares and distributions to non-controlling interests, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019, included repayments of long-term debt, the purchase of treasury shares and proceeds from stock option exercises. Cash flows used in financing activities were
$(1.9) million
and
$(14.7) million
for the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively. During the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, we made payments of
$(1.4) million
and
39
Table of Contents
$(1.3) million
, respectively, to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations on the issuance of restricted share units and restricted shares. These payments were made to tax authorities, at the employees’ direction, to satisfy the employees’ tax obligations rather than issuing a portion of vested restricted share units and restricted shares to employees. In addition, during the
six months ended
June 30,
2020
and
2019
, we distributed
$(0.5) million
and
$(1.1) million
to non-controlling interests, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we used
$(5.8) million
for repayments of long-term debt related to proceeds received from the sale of RESI shares and we used
$(6.7) million
to repurchase shares of our common stock.
Liquidity Requirements after
June 30, 2020
Our significant future liquidity obligations primarily pertain to long-term debt interest expense under the Credit Agreement (see Liquidity section above) and lease payments. During the next 12 months, we expect to pay
$14.7 million
of interest expense (assuming no further principal repayments and the
June 30, 2020
interest rate) under the Credit Agreement and make lease payments of
$9.9 million
.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and our anticipated cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including to fund required interest payments and lease payments, for the next 12 months.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments
and Contingencies
For the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations from those identified in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2019
and this Form 10-Q, other than those that occur in the normal course of business. See
Note 24
to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We prepare our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 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, 2019
filed with the SEC on
March 5, 2020
. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the
six months ended
June 30, 2020
.
Recently Adopted and Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk
Our financial market risk consists primarily of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As of
June 30, 2020
, the interest rate charged on the Term B Loan was
5.00%
. 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
4.00%
.
Based on the principal amount outstanding and the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate as of
June 30, 2020
, a one percentage point increase in the Eurodollar rate would increase our annual interest expense by approximately
$2.9 million
. There would be
no
decrease in our annual interest expense if there was a one percentage point decrease in the Eurodollar Rate, as a result of the
1.00%
minimum floor.
Currency Exchange Risk
We are exposed to currency risk from potential changes in currency values of our non-United States dollar denominated expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows. Our most significant currency exposure relates to the Indian rupee. Based on expenses incurred in Indian rupees for the second quarter of 2020, 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
$0.5 million
.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of
June 30, 2020
, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, such officers have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
June 30, 2020
.
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, 2020
, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We record a liability for contingencies 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.
Litigation
We are currently 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
Periodically, we are subject to audits, examinations and investigations by federal, state and local governmental authorities and receive subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other requests for information from such governmental authorities in connection with their regulatory or investigative authority. We are currently responding to such inquiries from governmental authorities 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
filed with the SEC on
March 5, 2020
, except as discussed in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no purchases of shares of common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2020. On May 15, 2018, our shareholders approved the renewal and replacement of the share repurchase program previously approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2017. Under the program, we are authorized to purchase up to
4.3 million
shares of our common stock in the open market, subject to certain parameters, for a period of five years from the date of approval. As of June 30, 2020, the maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the repurchase program is 2
.4 million
shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition to the share repurchase program, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, 26,530 common shares were withheld from employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations that arose from the vesting of restricted shares.
