NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., together with its subsidiaries (which may be referred to as “Altisource,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is 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 market.

Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. was formed under the laws of Luxembourg and is publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ASPS.”

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.

Altisource consolidates two cooperative entities which are managed by The Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource: Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc., a mortgage cooperative doing business as Lenders One^® (“Lenders One”) and Best Partners Mortgage Brokers Cooperative, Inc., a mortgage cooperative doing business as Wholesale One^® (“Wholesale 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) and to Wholesale One under a management agreement that ends on July 8, 2039 (with automatic renewals for three successive five-year periods).

The management agreements between MPA and Lenders One and between MPA and Wholesale One, pursuant to which MPA is the management company, represent variable interests in variable interest entities. MPA is the primary beneficiary of Lenders One and Wholesale One as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each of these cooperatives’ economic performance and the right to receive benefits from each of these cooperatives. As a result, Lenders One and Wholesale One are 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 March 31, 2017, Lenders One had total assets of $3.8 million and total liabilities of $0.9 million. As of December 31, 2016, Lenders One had total assets of $3.8 million and total liabilities of $1.5 million. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Wholesale One had less than $0.1 million in total assets and less than $0.1 million in total liabilities.

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, 2016, as filed with the SEC on February 16, 2017.

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 Pronouncement

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, became effective on January 1, 2017. This standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard requires companies to recognize all award-related excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the income statement, classify any excess tax benefits as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, limit tax withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in order to continue to apply equity accounting rules and classify cash paid by employers when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes as an investing activity in the statement of cash flows. The standard also provides companies with the option of estimating forfeitures or recognizing forfeitures as they occur. In connection with the adoption of this standard, the Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures in compensation expense as they occur, rather than continuing to apply the Company’s previous policy of estimating forfeitures. This policy election resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $0.9 million to retained earnings and additional paid-in capital as of January 1, 2017 using the modified retrospective transition method. There were no other significant impacts of the adoption of this standard on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of this new standard is an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its results of operations and financial position. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of over 95% of its revenue from customers for the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company estimated that less than 5% of consolidated revenue, primarily related to software development professional services, would likely be deferred and recognized over future periods under the new standard. The Company will continue to analyze the impact of this guidance and refine the estimated impact on its results of operations and financial position.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This standard will require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. It also amends certain financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of this guidance, upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 the Company will reflect changes in the fair value of its available for sale securities in income. These changes in fair value are currently reflected in other comprehensive income. The Company will continue to analyze the impact of this guidance and refine the estimated impact on its results of operations and financial position.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This standard introduces a new lessee model that brings substantially all leases on the balance sheet. The standard will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on their balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements in their financial statements. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application of this standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its results of operations and financial position. Based on the Company’s preliminary analysis of its lease arrangements as of March 31, 2017 where the Company is a lessee, the impact of adopting the new standard is primarily related to office leases, which would be recorded as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet under the new standard. The Company will continue to analyze the impact of this guidance and refine the estimated impact on its results of operations and financial position.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). This standard clarifies guidance on principal versus agent considerations in connection with revenue recognition. When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). An entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position in connection with its adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as described above.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. This standard provides guidance on identifying performance obligations in a contract with a customer and clarifying several licensing considerations, including whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time) and guidance on sales-based and usage-based royalties. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position in connection with its adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as described above.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. This standard addresses collectability, sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, non-cash consideration, contract modifications at transition and completed contracts at transition. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position in connection with its adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as described above.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This standard addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its statement of cash flows.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This standard will require that companies recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset (other than inventory) when the transfer occurs. Current guidance prohibits companies from recognizing current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its results of operations and financial position.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. This standard will require that companies include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in their cash and cash equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim

periods within that reporting period. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its statement of cash flows. As of both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, restricted cash was $4.1 million.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The FASB issued 13 technical corrections and improvements to ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), including providing optional exemptions from the disclosure requirement for remaining performance obligations for specific situations in which an entity need not estimate variable consideration to recognize revenue. The amendments in this standard also expand the information that is required to be disclosed when an entity applies one of the optional exemptions. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position in connection with its adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as described above.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine if a set of inputs, processes and outputs is a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the assets acquired would not be a business. Under the new guidance, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. In addition, the standard narrows the definition of the term “output” so that it is consistent with how it is described in ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This standard will simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Current guidance requires 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 will require 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. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets. This standard was issued to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, and to add guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20 provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 2 — CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”) is our largest customer. Ocwen purchases certain mortgage services and technology services from us under the terms of master services agreements and amendments thereto (collectively, the “Ocwen Service Agreements”) with terms extending through August 2025. Certain of the Ocwen Service Agreements, among other things, contain a “most favored nation” provision and also grant the parties the right to renegotiate pricing. Certain of the Ocwen Service Agreements also prohibit Ocwen from establishing fee-based businesses that would directly or indirectly compete with Altisource’s services with respect to the Homeward Residential, Inc. and Residential Capital, LLC servicing portfolios acquired by Ocwen in December 2012 and February 2013, respectively. In addition, Ocwen purchases certain origination services from Altisource under an agreement that continues until January 23, 2019, but which is subject to a 90 day termination right by Ocwen.

On November 27, 2012, Altisource Solutions S.à r.l., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., entered into a senior secured term loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the term loan (collectively, the “Guarantors”). We subsequently amended the senior secured term loan agreement to increase the principal amount of the senior secured term loan and, among other changes, re-establish the $200.0 million incremental term loan facility accordion, lower the interest rate, extend the maturity date by approximately one year and increase the maximum amount of Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the senior secured term loan agreement).

In addition to the scheduled principal payments, subject to certain exceptions, the term loan is subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, casualty and condemnation events and sales of assets, as well as from a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow if the leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of the senior secured term loan agreement (the percentage increases if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00). No mandatory prepayments were owed for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Table of Contents

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The term loan bears interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the applicable interest period and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) a 3.50% margin. Base Rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.00% plus (ii) a 2.50% margin. The interest rate at March 31, 2017 was 4.50%.

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

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

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

As of March 31, 2017, debt issuance costs were $4.2 million, net of $6.1 million of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2016, debt issuance costs were $4.5 million, net of $5.8 million of accumulated amortization.

NOTE 13 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments held by the Company and acquisition contingent consideration liabilities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The following fair values are estimated using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP:

Long-term debt	478,167		—		461,431		—		479,653		—		474,856		—

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the highly liquid nature of these instruments and were measured using Level 1 inputs.

Available for sale securities are carried at fair value and consist of 4.1 million shares of Residential common stock. Available for sale securities are measured using Level 1 inputs as these securities have quoted prices in active markets.

The fair value of our long-term debt 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 accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, liabilities for contingent consideration are reflected at fair value and adjusted each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. Liabilities for acquisition related contingent consideration were recorded in connection with acquisitions in prior years. We measure the liabilities for acquisition related contingent consideration using Level 3 inputs as they are determined based on the present value of future estimated payments, which include sensitivities pertaining to discount rates and financial projections.

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 the largest portion of its revenues from Ocwen (see Note 2 for additional information on Ocwen revenues and accounts receivable balance). The Company mitigates its concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable by actively monitoring past due accounts and the economic status of customers, if known.

NOTE 14 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share Repurchase Program

On May 18, 2016, our shareholders approved a share repurchase program, which replaced the previous share repurchase program. Under the program, we are authorized to purchase up to 4.6 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. This is in addition to amounts previously purchased under prior programs. Under the existing and prior programs, we purchased 0.4 million shares of common stock at an average price of $25.10 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 0.5 million shares at an average price of $25.17 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. Our senior secured term loan limits the amount we can spend on share repurchases and may prevent repurchases in certain circumstances.

Table of Contents

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

As of March 31, 2017, approximately $394 million was available to repurchase shares of our common stock under our senior secured term loan.

Share-Based Compensation

We issue share-based awards in the form of stock options and restricted shares for certain employees, officers and directors. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards amounted to $5.3 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately 2.08 years.

In connection with the January 1, 2017 adoption of FASB ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (see Note 1), the Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures in compensation expense as they occur, rather than continuing to apply the Company’s previous policy of estimating forfeitures. Prior to this accounting change, share-based compensation expense for stock options and restricted shares was recorded net of estimated forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 40%.

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 cliff-vesting and expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of 0.8 million service-based awards were outstanding as of March 31, 2017.

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 internally as “ordinary performance” grants, consists of two-thirds of the market-based grant and begins to vest if the stock price is at least double the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 20% over the exercise price. The remaining third of the market-based options, which we refer to internally as “extraordinary performance” grants, begins to vest if the stock price is at least triple the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 25% over the exercise price. Market-based awards 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 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 1.0 million market-based awards were outstanding at March 31, 2017.

Performance-Based Options. These option grants begin to vest upon the achievement of certain specific financial measures. Generally, 25% of the awards vest upon the achievement of the performance criteria and the remaining 75% vest thereafter in three equal annual installments. 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 below a certain threshold, the award is canceled. The options expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. There were no performance-based awards outstanding at March 31, 2017.

The Company granted 0.1 million stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $27.48 per share) during the three months ended March 31, 2016 (no comparative amounts in 2017).

The fair values of the service-based options and performance-based options were determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair values of the market-based options were determined using a lattice (binomial) model. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair values as of the grant date:



	Three months ended March 31, 2016
	Black-Scholes	Binomial

Risk-free interest rate (%)	1.25 - 1.89	0.23 - 1.97
Expected stock price volatility (%)	59.75 - 62.14	59.76 - 62.14
Expected dividend yield	—	—
Expected option life (in years)	6.25	4.55 - 4.88
Fair value	$11.15 - $16.30	$11.06 - $15.73

We determined the expected option life of all service-based stock option grants using the simplified method. 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.

The following table summarizes the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted per share, the total intrinsic value of stock options exercised and the grant date fair value of stock options that vested during the period presented:

Other Share-Based Awards

The Company’s other share-based and similar types of awards are composed of restricted shares and, through August 29, 2016, Equity Appreciation Rights (“EAR”). Effective August 29, 2016, the EAR plans were terminated.

The restricted shares are service-based awards that vest over one to four years with either annual cliff-vesting, vesting of all of the restricted shares at the end of the vesting period or vesting beginning after two years of service. The Company granted 3 thousand restricted shares (at a weighted average price of $27.50 per share) during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

NOTE 15 — REVENUE

Revenue includes service revenue, reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests.

NOTE 19 — EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the assumed conversion of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted EPS are calculated as follows for the three months ended March 31:



(in thousands, except per share data)	2017		2016

Net income attributable to Altisource	$	6,545	$	18,494

Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic	18,662		18,855
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted shares	642		1,185

Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted	19,304		20,040

Earnings per share:
Basic	$	0.35	$	0.98

Diluted	$	0.34	$	0.92

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, 0.4 million options and 0.4 million options, respectively, that were anti-dilutive have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. These options were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common stock. Also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS are 0.2 million options and 0.3 million options for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, granted for shares that begin to vest upon the achievement of certain market criteria related to our common stock price, performance criteria and an annualized rate of return to shareholders that have not yet been met.

NOTE 20 — COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Litigation

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

finding that the Lead Plaintiffs’ amended complaint failed to state a claim as to any of the defendants, but permitting the Lead Plaintiffs to file another amended complaint. Lead Plaintiffs subsequently filed second and third amended complaints with substantially similar claims and theories. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. moved to dismiss the third amended complaint on October 22, 2015. On December 22, 2015, the Court issued an order dismissing with prejudice all claims against Ocwen Financial Corporation and certain claims against Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the officer and director defendants, but denying the motion to dismiss as to other claims. On December 19, 2016, the Court granted Lead Plaintiffs leave to file the fourth amended complaint, and Lead Plaintiffs filed the fourth amended complaint on December 28, 2016. On January 6, 2017, Defendants filed a motion to strike certain matters from the fourth amended complaint and a motion to dismiss certain claims pled in the fourth amended complaint. Before the Court ruled on Defendants’ motions, the parties notified the Court on January 19, 2017 of their agreement to settle the action, which is subject to Court approval and other customary terms and conditions described in the settlement stipulation filed with the Court, including rights of the parties to terminate the settlement under certain conditions. On February 10, 2017, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement, certifying a settlement class, approving the form and content of notice of the settlement to class members, establishing procedures for shareholders to request exclusion from the class or object to the settlement, and setting a hearing for May 30, 2017 to determine whether the settlement should be approved and the case dismissed with prejudice. Under the proposed settlement, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. paid a total of $32 million in cash, $4 million of which was funded by insurance proceeds, to a settlement fund to resolve all claims asserted and which could have been asserted on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. stock between April 25, 2013 and December 21, 2014. The proposed settlement provides that Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the officer and director defendants deny all claims of wrongdoing or liability.

On February 11, 2015, W.A. Sokolowski, an alleged shareholder of Ocwen Financial Corporation, filed an amended shareholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen Financial Corporation (as a nominal defendant), certain of its current or former officers and directors, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other companies. The suit seeks recovery of an unspecified amount of damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by Ocwen Financial Corporation’s officers and directors, which were allegedly aided and abetted by Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other defendants. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on November 9, 2015. While that motion was pending, additional lawsuits alleging similar claims for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by current or former Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors were filed in or transferred to the Court. The Court subsequently consolidated these actions and denied Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.’s motion to dismiss the Sokolowski complaint without prejudice to re-file following appointment of lead counsel for the consolidated action and the filing or designation of an operative complaint. Lead counsel for plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Verified Shareholder Derivative Complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”) on March 8, 2016. The Consolidated Complaint alleges claims that Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., its subsidiary Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. and other defendants aided and abetted alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors and/or were unjustly enriched in connection with business dealings with Ocwen Financial Corporation. The Consolidated Complaint also seeks contribution from Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., its subsidiary Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. and other defendants for amounts Ocwen Financial Corporation paid in connection with a settlement with the New York State Department of Financial Services. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. filed motions to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint on May 13, 2016. On October 13, 2016, the Court disclosed that the parties reached a settlement at a settlement conference held that same day. Following a Final Approval Hearing on January 18, 2017, the Court granted final approval of the settlement and entered a judgment dismissing the action with prejudice. Neither Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. nor Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. made any monetary contribution to the settlement, and both Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. deny all claims of wrongdoing or liability in connection with the Sokolowski action.

On March 26, 2015, Robert Moncavage, an alleged shareholder of Ocwen Financial Corporation, filed an amended shareholder derivative complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida against Ocwen Financial Corporation (as a nominal defendant), certain of its current or former officers and directors, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other companies. The suit seeks recovery of an unspecified amount of damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the current or former Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors, which were allegedly aided and abetted by Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other defendants. On November 9, 2015, the Court entered an order staying all proceedings in the case pending further order of the Court. The judgment entered in connection with the Sokolowski action discussed above bars further prosecution of all claims asserted, or that could have been asserted, in this action based on the facts, events, conduct, and transactions alleged, all of which were released as part of the Sokolowski settlement. On February 9, 2017, the plaintiff filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice and submitted a proposed order to the Court asking it to approve the dismissal of plaintiff’s claims against all defendants. On March 1, 2017, the Court entered an order dismissing the action without prejudice. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. denies all claims of wrongdoing or liability in connection with the Moncavage action.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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

Regulatory Matters

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.

As previously disclosed, Altisource received a Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise (“NORA”) letter on November 10, 2016 from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) indicating that the CFPB is considering a potential enforcement action against Altisource relating to an alleged violation of federal law that primarily concerns certain technology services provided to Ocwen. The NORA letter provides the recipient an opportunity to present its positions to the CFPB before an enforcement action is recommended or commenced. On December 15, 2016, we provided a written response to the NORA letter setting forth the legal, policy and factual reasons why we believe an enforcement action is not warranted. We are committed to resolving any potential concerns of the CFPB. If the CFPB were to bring an enforcement action against us, the resolution of such action could have a material adverse impact on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations. However, we believe it is premature to predict the potential outcome or to estimate any potential financial impact in connection with any potential CFPB enforcement action.

Ocwen Related Matters

Ocwen is our largest customer and 59% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was from Ocwen. Additionally, 17% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was earned on the portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen 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, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings that have or could result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. On April 20, 2017, the CFPB and the State of Florida filed separate complaints in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen alleging violations of Federal consumer financial law and, in the case of Florida, Florida statutes. The complaints seek to obtain permanent injunctive relief, consumer redress, refunds, restitution, disgorgement, damages, civil penalties, costs and fees and other relief. In addition, a number of states publicly announced or otherwise undertook various administrative actions against Ocwen related to alleged violations of applicable laws and regulations related to servicing residential mortgages. Certain of the allegations in the complaints and certain of the state administrative actions assert that Ocwen’s use of certain Altisource services was a contributing factor to Ocwen’s purported violations. The state administrative actions announced or undertaken purportedly seek sanctions and various injunctive reliefs which may include restrictions on Ocwen obtaining additional mortgage servicing rights, continuing mortgage servicing or debt collection activities, originating or funding loans, initiating foreclosures or other limitations or restrictions on Ocwen’s business operations or licenses in certain of these states. All of the forgoing matters could result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. While not all inclusive, other regulatory actions to date have included subjecting Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placing certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights. Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, inquiries, requests for information and legal proceedings, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen.

As of December 31, 2016, New Residential Investment Corp. (“NRZ”) owned the rights to approximately 78% of Ocwen’s non-government-sponsored enterprise (“non-GSE”) servicing rights as of December 31, 2016. Under an agreement between NRZ and Ocwen, NRZ has the right (not necessarily the obligation or ability) to transfer servicing away from Ocwen if Ocwen does not maintain certain minimum servicer ratings on or after April 6, 2017.

Any or all of the foregoing may have significant adverse effects on Ocwen’s business and 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 (including information technology and software services), it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose or sell some or all of its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing 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 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

If any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue would be significantly lower 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 a significant reduction in the volume of services they purchase from us


•	Ocwen loses, sells or transfers a significant portion or all of its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements and Altisource fails to be retained as a service provider


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


•	Altisource fails to be retained as a service provider


•	The contractual relationship between Ocwen and Altisource changes significantly or there are significant changes to our pricing to Ocwen for services from which we generate material revenue

Management cannot predict the outcome of the above Ocwen related matters or the impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these Ocwen related matters materially negatively impact Altisource, we believe the variable nature of our cost structure would allow us to realign our cost structure in line with remaining revenue. Furthermore, in the event of a significant reduction in the volume of services purchased or loans serviced by Ocwen, we believe the impact to Altisource could occur over an extended period of time.

In this regard, we have a plan that we believe would allow us to efficiently execute on this realignment. We believe that transfers of Ocwen’s servicing rights to a successor servicer(s) would take an extended period of time because of the approval required from many parties, including regulators, rating agencies, residential mortgage-backed securities trustees, lenders and others. During this period of time, we believe we would continue to generate revenue from the services we provide to the to be transferred portfolio. Additionally, we have several strategic initiatives that focus on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base. Our major strategic initiatives include growing our:


•	Servicer Solutions business


•	Origination Solutions business


•	Consumer Real Estate Solutions business


•	Real Estate Investor Solutions business

We have a sales and marketing strategy to support these initiatives.

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

Additionally, Ocwen informed Altisource that it is conducting a strategic review of the continued long-term use of REALServicing as its mortgage servicing software platform. Altisource is supporting Ocwen in its evaluation. Should Ocwen decide to transition to another platform, we anticipate that such a transition would be a multi-year project and Altisource would support Ocwen through such a transition. We do not anticipate that a servicing technology transition would impact the other services we provide to Ocwen. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, service revenue from REALServicing was $7.0 million and $9.9 million, respectively. We estimate that income before income tax from the REALServicing business currently operates at approximately break-even.

Escrow and Trust Balances

We hold customers’ assets in escrow and trust accounts at various financial institutions pending completion of certain real estate activities. We also hold cash in trust accounts at various financial institutions where contractual obligations mandate maintaining dedicated bank accounts for our collections business. These amounts are held in escrow and trust accounts for limited periods of time and are not included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts held in escrow and trust accounts were $49.2 million and $64.1 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

NOTE 21 — SEGMENT REPORTING

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

Strategically, we are focused on our four business initiatives discussed below and continuing to strengthen our compliance management system.

Each of our business initiatives provides Altisource the potential to grow and diversify our customer and revenue base. We believe these initiatives address very large markets and directly leverage our core competencies and distinct competitive advantages. Our four strategic initiatives and a brief description of each follow:

Servicer Solutions:

Through this initiative, we provide a full suite of services and technologies to meet the evolving and growing needs of loan servicers. We are focused on growing referrals from our existing customer base, expanding the service and proprietary technology offerings to our customer base, and attracting new customers to our offerings. We have a customer base that includes Ocwen, a government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”), several top ten bank servicers and non-bank servicers and asset managers. Even as loan delinquencies return to historical norms, we believe there is a very large addressable market for our offerings. We believe we are one of only a few providers with a broad suite of servicer solutions, nationwide coverage and demonstrated scalability. Further, we believe we

are well positioned to gain market share as existing customers and prospects consolidate to larger, full-service providers and outsource services that have historically been performed in-house.

Origination Solutions:

Through this initiative, we provide a full suite of services and technologies to meet the evolving and growing needs of loan originators and correspondents. We are focused on growing referrals from our existing customer base, expanding the service and proprietary technology offerings to our customer base, and attracting new customers to our offerings. We have a customer base that includes the Lenders One cooperative mortgage bankers, the Mortgage Builder loan origination system customers and mid-size and larger bank and non-bank loan originators. We believe our suite of services and technologies positions 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 attract new customers as prospects consolidate to larger, full-service providers and outsource services that have historically been performed in-house.

Consumer Real Estate Solutions:

Through this initiative, we provide a technology enabled real estate brokerage and related services that handle key aspects of buying and selling a home. We are focused on developing this initiative by capitalizing on our core competencies in realty services and online real estate marketing and offering consumers right-sized commission structures, smart digital tools and personalized service from local real estate agents.

Real Estate Investor Solutions:

Through this initiative, we provide a full suite of services and technologies to support buyers and sellers of single family investment homes. We are focused on growing referrals from our existing customer base, expanding the service and proprietary technology offerings to our customer base, and attracting new customers to our offerings. We have a customer base that includes Altisource Residential Corporation (“Residential”) and other institutional and smaller single family rental investors. The single family rental market is large, geographically distributed and has fragmented ownership. We believe our nationwide acquisition, renovation, property management, leasing and disposition platform provides a strong value proposition for institutional and retail investors and positions us well for growth.

There can be no assurance that growth from our strategic initiatives will be successful or our operations will be profitable.

Ocwen Related Matters

Revenue from Ocwen represented 59% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Additionally, 17% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was earned on the portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen 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, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings that have or could result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. On April 20, 2017, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) and the State of Florida filed separate complaints in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen alleging violations of Federal consumer financial law and, in the case of Florida, Florida statutes. The complaints seek to obtain permanent injunctive relief, consumer redress, refunds, restitution, disgorgement, damages, civil penalties, costs and fees and other relief. In addition, a number of states publicly announced or otherwise undertook various administrative actions against Ocwen related to alleged violations of applicable laws and regulations related to servicing residential mortgages. Certain of the allegations in the complaints and certain of the state administrative actions assert that Ocwen’s use of certain Altisource services was a contributing factor to Ocwen’s purported violations. The state administrative actions announced or undertaken purportedly seek sanctions and various injunctive reliefs which may include restrictions on Ocwen obtaining additional mortgage servicing rights, continuing mortgage servicing or debt collection activities, originating or funding loans, initiating foreclosures or other limitations or restrictions on Ocwen’s business operations or licenses in certain of these states. All of the forgoing matters could result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. While not all inclusive, other regulatory actions to date have included subjecting Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placing certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights. Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, inquiries, requests for information and legal proceedings, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen (see Note 20 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Management cannot predict the outcome of these Ocwen related matters or the impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these Ocwen related matters materially negatively impact Altisource, we believe the variable nature of our cost structure would allow us to realign our cost structure in line with remaining revenue. Furthermore, in the event of a significant

Table of Contents

reduction in the volume of services purchased or loans serviced by Ocwen, we believe the impact to Altisource could occur over an extended period of time.

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

Factors Affecting Comparability

The following items may impact the comparability of our results:

•

The average number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing^® was 1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of 14%. The average number of delinquent non-GSE loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing was 191 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 238 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of 20%;


•	On July 29, 2016, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Granite Loan Management of Delaware, LLC for $9.5 million; and


•	The effective income tax rate increased to 26.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 from 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The effective tax rate increase was primarily due to changes in the expected mix of taxable income across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Revenue

We recognized service revenue of $229.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a 2% decrease compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to a decline in the number of loans on REALServicing, lower professional services revenues in our servicer technologies businesses and lower service revenue in our customer relationship management business. During 2016, we severed relationships with certain customer relationship management clients that were not profitable to us and we experienced a reduction in volume from the transition of services from one customer to another. The decrease was also due to lower service revenue in the IT infrastructure services business from the transition of resources supporting Ocwen’s technology infrastructure to Ocwen. These decreases were largely offset by higher volumes of property preservation referrals, growth in our buy-renovate-sell business, which began operations

Table of Contents

in the second half of 2016, and from a change in 2015 in the pricing and billing model for preservation services on new Ocwen REO referrals that resulted in certain services that were historically reimbursable expenses revenue becoming service.

Certain of our revenues are impacted by seasonality. More specifically, revenues from property sales, loan originations and certain property preservation services tend to be at their lowest level during the fall and winter months and at their highest level during the spring and summer months. In addition, the asset recovery management business tends to be higher in the first quarter, as borrowers may utilize tax refunds and bonuses to pay debts, and generally declines throughout the rest of the year.

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

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

Cost of revenue consists of the following for the three months ended March 31:



(in thousands)	2017		2016		% Increase (decrease)

Compensation and benefits	$	63,092	$	65,063	(3	)
Outside fees and services	85,894		71,803		20
Reimbursable expenses	10,029		15,454		(35	)
Technology and telecommunications	11,351		9,940		14
Depreciation and amortization	7,587		6,603		15

Cost of revenue	$	177,953	$	168,863	5

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $178.0 million increased 5% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by higher outside fees and services, partially offset by decreases in reimbursable expenses. Outside fees and services increased due to higher volumes of property preservation referrals. Reimbursable expenses declined primarily as a result of the change in billing discussed in the revenue section above. Compensation and benefits costs also decreased from lower volumes in the customer relationship management business and the transition of resources supporting Ocwen’s technology infrastructure to Ocwen. These declines were partially offset by higher compensation and benefits costs in our Real Estate Market segment as we increased staffing to support our growth initiatives.

Gross profit decreased to $62.5 million, representing 27% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $81.3 million, representing 35% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue decreased primarily due to revenue mix and investments in our growth initiatives. Revenue mix changed from growth in the lower margin property preservation and buy-renovate-sell businesses and declines in other higher margin businesses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

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

Table of Contents

SG&A expense consists of the following for the three months ended March 31:



(in thousands)	2017		2016		% Increase (decrease)

Compensation and benefits	$	12,506	$	13,991	(11	)
Occupancy related costs	10,273		9,083		13
Amortization of intangible assets	9,146		12,211		(25	)
Professional services	3,730		6,740		(45	)
Marketing costs	4,269		6,492		(34	)
Depreciation and amortization	2,421		2,605		(7	)
Other	5,356		2,494		115

Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	47,701	$	53,616	(11	)

SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $47.7 million decreased 11% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower amortization of intangible assets, driven by an increase in total projected revenue to be generated by the Homeward Residential, Inc. (“Homeward”) and Residential Capital, LLC (“ResCap”) portfolios over the lives of these portfolios (revenue-based amortization), lower professional services expenses from reduced legal costs related to litigation and regulatory matters and lower marketing costs, primarily as a result of initial non-recurring Owners.com market launch costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2016. These decreases were partially offset by a $3.0 million favorable loss accrual adjustment in other SG&A in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased to $14.8 million, representing 6% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $27.7 million, representing 12% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of service revenue was the result of the decrease in gross profit margin, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses, as discussed above.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net principally includes interest expense and other non-operating gains and losses. Interest expense was $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $0.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily from the 2016 repurchases of portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $51.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, other income (expense), net also included dividends of $0.6 million related to our investments in Residential common stock (no comparable amount in 2016).

Income Tax Provision

We recognized an income tax provision of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Our effective tax rate was 26.5% and 10.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 differ from the Luxembourg statutory tax rate of 27.1% and 29.2%, respectively, primarily due to the effect of certain deductions in Luxembourg and the mix of income and losses with varying tax rates in multiple taxing jurisdictions. The higher effective income tax rate for three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily the result of lower pretax income, which changed the mix of taxable income across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Effective January 1, 2017, our reportable segments changed as a result of changes in our internal organization, which changed the way our chief operating decision maker manages our businesses, allocates resources and evaluates performance. We now report our operations through two new reportable segments: Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market. In addition, we report Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations separately. Prior to the January 1, 2017 change in reportable segments, our reportable segments were Mortgage Services, Financial Services and Technology Services. The former Mortgage Services segment was separated into the Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market segments (see Overview - Our Business) with the software services formerly in the Technology Services segment and the mortgage charge-off collections business that was formerly in the Financial Services segment. Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations includes the other business that were formerly in the Financial Services segment as well as IT infrastructure management services formerly in the Technology Services segment (see Overview - Our Business). Prior year comparable period segment disclosures have been restated to conform to the current year presentation.

The following section provides a discussion of pretax results of operations of our business segments. Transactions between segments are accounted for as third party arrangements for purposes of presenting segment results of operations and eliminated in consolidation.

We recognized service revenue of $195.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a 4% increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to higher volumes of property preservation referrals and from a change in 2015 in the pricing and billing model for preservation services on new Ocwen REO referrals that resulted in certain services that were historically reimbursable expenses revenue becoming service revenue in the Servicer Solutions business. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in referrals in the other Servicer Solutions businesses, driven by the decline in the number of loans on REALServicing, and lower professional services revenues in our Servicer Solutions technologies businesses. The decrease in reimbursable expenses revenue was primarily due to the change in 2015 in the pricing and billing model for preservation services on new Ocwen REO referrals described above.

Certain of our Mortgage Market businesses are impacted by seasonality. Revenues from property sales, loan originations and certain property preservation services are generally lowest during the fall and winter months and highest during the spring and summer months.

Cost of revenue	$	140,150	$	134,043	5

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $140.2 million increased by 5% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by higher outside fees and services, partially offset by decreases in reimbursable expenses. Outside fees and services increased due to higher volumes of property preservation referrals. Reimbursable expenses declined primarily as a result of the change in billing discussed in the revenue section above.

Gross profit decreased to $64.6 million, representing 33% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $69.4 million, representing 37% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue declined primarily due to revenue mix from growth in the lower margin property preservation services and declines in other higher margin businesses.

SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $28.7 million decreased by 3% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily driven by lower amortization of intangible assets, driven by an increase in total projected revenue to be generated by the Homeward and ResCap portfolios over the lives of these portfolios (revenue-based amortization) and lower professional services expenses from reduced legal costs. These decreases were partially offset by a $3.0 million favorable loss accrual adjustment in other SG&A in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Income from operations decreased to $35.9 million, representing 18% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $39.9 million, representing 21% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of service revenue was primarily the result of lower gross profit margins from the change in the revenue mix, as discussed above.

We recognized service revenue of $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an 18% decrease compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower property preservation referrals and REO sales in the Real Estate Investor Solutions business from Residential’s declining portfolio of non-performing loans and REO, partially offset by growth in revenue in our buy-renovate-sell program in the Real Estate Investor Solutions business which began operations in the second half of 2016.

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $22.1 million increased by 53% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to increased outside fees and services in the Real Estate Investor Solutions business from the cost of the real estate sold in connection with our buy-renovate-sell program, partially offset by lower property preservation referrals. In addition, compensation and benefits costs increased in both the Consumer Real Estate Solutions and Real Estate Investor Solutions businesses to support growth of these initiatives.

Gross profit decreased to a gross loss of $2.1 million, representing (11)% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to gross profit of $9.5 million, representing 40% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Gross profit (loss) as a percentage of service revenue declined primarily as a result of growth of the lower margin buy-renovate-sell program, lower REO sales and increased compensation and benefits costs to support growth of these businesses.

SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $4.3 million decreased by 30% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily the result of lower marketing costs as a result of initial non-recurring Owners.com market launch costs incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Income from operations decreased to a loss from operations of $6.4 million, representing (33)% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to income from operations of $3.3 million representing 14% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in operating income as a percentage of service revenue was primarily the result of lower gross profit margins, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses, driven by lower marketing costs, as discussed above.

Revenue

Revenue by business unit was as follows for the three months ended March 31:



(in thousands)	2017		2016		% Increase (decrease)

Service revenue:
Customer relationship management	$	7,357	$	10,901	(33	)

Total reimbursable expenses	20		28		(29	)

Total revenue	$	15,697	$	22,822	(31	)

We recognized service revenue of $15.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a 31% decrease compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to lower customer relationship management business as we have severed relationships with certain clients that were not profitable to us and we experienced a reduction in volume from the transition of services from one customer to another. In addition, IT infrastructure services, which are typically billed on a cost plus basis, declined due to the transition of resources supporting Ocwen’s technology infrastructure to Ocwen.

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

Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue consists of the following for the three months ended March 31:



(in thousands)	2017		2016		% Increase (decrease)

Depreciation and amortization	2,215		2,201		1

Cost of revenue	$	15,660	$	20,362	(23	)

Cost of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $15.7 million decreased by 23% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily due to a decrease in compensation and benefits costs from lower service revenue, as discussed above.

Gross profit decreased to less than $0.1 million, representing less than 1% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $2.5 million, representing 11% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue declined as the decrease in customer relationship management and IT infrastructure revenue exceeded the reduction in expenses.

Other income (expense), net	(5,093		)	(6,624		)	(23	)

SG&A for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $14.7 million decreased by 18% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in SG&A was primarily due to lower compensation and benefits costs from favorable employee benefit plan accrual adjustments and decreased professional services expenses from lower legal and regulatory costs.

Loss from operations decreased to $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a loss of $15.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in loss from operations was primarily from lower SG&A costs, partially offset by lower gross profit, as discussed above.

Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $(5.1) million decreased by 23% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. Interest expense was $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $0.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily from the 2016 repurchases of portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $51.0 million. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 we earned dividends of $0.6 million related to our investments in Residential common stock (no comparable amount in 2016).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flows from operations. 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 also seek to use cash to repurchase and repay our senior secured term loan and, from time to time, repurchase shares of our common stock. In addition, we consider and evaluate business acquisitions that may arise from time to time that are aligned with our strategy.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we used $1.5 million to make contractual repayments of the senior secured term loan and $10.6 million to repurchase shares of our common stock.

Senior Secured Term Loan

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

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2017, $478.2 million was outstanding under the senior secured term loan agreement, as amended, compared to $479.7 million as of December 31, 2016.

After giving effect to the third amendment entered into on August 1, 2014, the term loan must be repaid in equal consecutive quarterly principal installments of $1.5 million, with the balance due at maturity. All amounts outstanding under the senior secured term loan agreement will become due on the earlier of (i) December 9, 2020 and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders or as otherwise provided in the senior secured term loan agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default under the senior secured term loan agreement. However, if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of the senior secured term loan agreement, a percentage of cash flows must be used to repay principal (the percentage increases if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00). No mandatory prepayments were required for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The interest rate as of March 31, 2017 was 4.50%.

The debt covenants in the senior secured term loan agreement limit, among other things, our ability 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 senior secured term loan.

Cash Flows

The following table presents our cash flows for the three months ended March 31:



(in thousands)	2017			2016			% Increase (decrease)

Net income adjusted for non-cash items	$	30,796		$	43,588		(29	)

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 three months ended March 31, 2017, cash flows used in operating activities were $18.4 million compared to cash flows generated from operating activities of $29.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in cash flows from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 was principally driven by the $28.0 million net payment for the previously accrued litigation settlement, lower collections of accounts receivable, primarily driven by timing and lower net income.

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. In addition, annual incentive compensation bonuses are paid during the first quarter of each year. Consequently, our cash flows from operations may be negatively impacted when comparing one interim period to another.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities primarily include capital expenditures, acquisitions of businesses and purchases and sales of available for sale securities. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we used $1.9 million and $6.0 million, respectively, for capital expenditures primarily related to investments in the development of certain software applications, IT infrastructure and facility build-outs. The decrease in capital expenditures primarily related to the completion of several software development projects and facility build-outs in 2016. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, we purchased 2.5 million shares of Residential common stock for $29.4 million including brokers’ commissions (no comparable amount in 2017).

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 primarily included activities associated with share repurchases, debt repayments, stock option exercises and payments to non-controlling interests. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we used $10.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively, to repurchase our common stock. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we used $1.5 million to make scheduled repayments of our senior secured term loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, stock option exercises provided proceeds of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we distributed $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, to non-controlling interests.

Liquidity Requirements after March 31, 2017

On September 12, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Mortgage Builder Software, Inc. (“Mortgage Builder”). The Mortgage Builder purchase agreement provides for the payment of up to $7.0 million in potential additional consideration based on Adjusted Revenue (as defined in the purchase agreement). As of March 31, 2017, we have recorded $0.4 million of potential additional consideration related to the Mortgage Builder acquisition. The amount ultimately paid will depend on Mortgage Builder’s Adjusted Revenue in the last of the three consecutive 12-month periods following acquisition.

On July 17, 2015, we acquired CastleLine. A portion of the purchase consideration totaling $10.5 million is payable to the sellers over four years from the acquisition date, including $3.8 million to be paid to certain of the sellers that is contingent on future employment. As of March 31, 2017, we have paid $4.7 million of the $10.5 million that is payable over four years from the acquisition date and $0 of the $3.8 million purchase consideration that is contingent on future employment.

During the second quarter of 2017, we expect to distribute $0.4 million to the Lenders One members representing non-controlling interest, repay $1.5 million of the senior secured term loan and pay $5.4 million of interest expense under the senior secured term loan agreement.

We believe that we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fund capital expenditures and required debt and interest payments for the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations from those identified in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, other than those that occur in the normal course of business. See Note 20 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

We prepare our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 16, 2017. Those policies have not changed during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Recently Adopted and Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the 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.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2017, the interest rate charged on the senior secured term loan was 4.50%. The interest rate is calculated based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement) with a minimum floor of 1.00% plus 3.50%.

Based on the principal amount outstanding at March 31, 2017, a one percentage point increase in the Eurodollar Rate would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $4.7 million, based on the March 31, 2017 Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. There would be no change in our annual interest expense if there was a one percentage point decrease in the Eurodollar Rate.

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 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, a one percentage point increase or decrease in value of the Indian rupee in relation to the United States dollar would increase or decrease our annual expenses by approximately $1.1 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 Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of March 31, 2017, an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our 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 March 31, 2017.


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 March 31, 2017, 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

On September 8, 2014, the West Palm Beach Firefighters’ Pension Fund filed a putative securities class action suit against Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain of its current or former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 with regard to disclosures concerning pricing and transactions with related parties that allegedly inflated Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. share prices. The Court subsequently appointed the Pension Fund for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 35 and the Annuity Fund for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 35 as Lead Plaintiffs. On January 30, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint which added Ocwen Financial Corporation as a defendant, and seeks a determination that the action may be maintained as a class action on behalf of purchasers of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. securities between April 25, 2013 and December 21, 2014 and an unspecified amount of damages. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. moved to dismiss the suit on March 23, 2015. On September 4, 2015, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss, finding that the Lead Plaintiffs’ amended complaint failed to state a claim as to any of the defendants, but permitting the Lead Plaintiffs to file another amended complaint. Lead Plaintiffs subsequently filed second and third amended complaints with substantially similar claims and theories. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. moved to dismiss the third amended complaint on October 22, 2015. On December 22, 2015, the Court issued an order dismissing with prejudice all claims against Ocwen Financial Corporation and certain claims against Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the officer and director defendants, but denying the motion to dismiss as to other claims. On December 19, 2016, the Court granted Lead Plaintiffs leave to file the fourth amended complaint, and Lead Plaintiffs filed the fourth amended complaint on December 28, 2016. On January 6, 2017, Defendants filed a motion to strike certain matters from the fourth amended complaint and a motion to dismiss certain claims pled in the fourth amended complaint. Before the Court ruled on Defendants’ motions, the parties notified the Court on January 19, 2017 of their agreement to settle the action, which is subject to Court approval and other customary terms and conditions described in the settlement stipulation filed with the Court, including rights of the parties to terminate the settlement under certain conditions. On February 10, 2017, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement, certifying a settlement class, approving the form and content of notice of the settlement to class members, establishing procedures for shareholders to request exclusion from the class or object to the settlement, and setting a hearing for May 30, 2017 to determine whether the settlement should be approved and the case dismissed with prejudice. Under the proposed settlement, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. paid a total of $32 million in cash, $4 million of which was funded by insurance proceeds, to a settlement fund to resolve all claims asserted and which could have been asserted on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. stock between April 25, 2013 and December 21, 2014. The proposed settlement provides that Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the officer and director defendants deny all claims of wrongdoing or liability.

Solutions S.A. nor Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. made any monetary contribution to the settlement, and both Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. deny all claims of wrongdoing or liability in connection with the Sokolowski action.
