Fourth Quarter 2015 Highlights

  • Increased rental portfolio of Altisource Residential Corporation ("Residential") to 2,732 homes, including 2,118 rented properties, 264 listed and ready for rent and 350 properties under leasehold renovation and unit turn.
  • Reduced Residential's non-performing mortgage loan ("NPL") portfolio to 5,739 loans.1
  • Increased Residential's estimated taxable income to $37.8 million, or $0.68 per share, from $10.4 million, or $0.18 per share in the third quarter of 2015.
  • Managed the increase in Residential's rental revenue to $5.7 million, representing a 41% increase over the third quarter of 2015.
  • Facilitated Residential's completion of the sale of 772 loans within approximately 1% of its balance sheet carrying value; unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of the sold loans was $309.6 million, or approximately 15% of the total UPB in Residential's loan portfolio.
  • Negotiated Residential's agreement to purchase a portfolio of 627 rental homes; expected to close in the first quarter of 2016.2
  • Expanded Residential's One-by-One purchase program with 156 homes acquired or under contract in the fourth quarter in 9 MSAs.
  • Completed repurchases of $2.7 million of AAMC common stock, bringing total AAMC stock repurchases under the Board-approved repurchase plan to $249.1 million.

Full Year 2015 Highlights

  • Achieved estimated taxable income for Residential of $107.6 million and dividends with respect to 2015 taxable income of $1.90 per share, including the $0.15 per share special dividend announced by Residential today.
  • Increased Residential's rental portfolio to 2,732 homes as of December 31, 2015, representing an increase of 247% over the 787 properties in the rental portfolio as of December 31, 2014.
  • Executed a new Asset Management Agreement with Residential that positions AAMC for sustainable growth. Total management fees paid to AAMC were $23.7 million in 2015.
  • Facilitated Residential's servicing transfer of 6,818 loans with an aggregate UPB of $1.7 billion to two new mortgage servicers.
  • Following completed and pending NPL sales, substantially all of Residential's unsecuritized loans will have been moved to new servicers.
  • Negotiated the addition, amendment and extension of Residential's repurchase and lending facilities and completed Residential's third NPL securitization, increasing Residential's financing capacity to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2015 versus $1.6 billion at December 31, 2014.

Recent Developments

  • Negotiated Residential's agreement to sell a portfolio of 1,266 NPLs within approximately 1% of balance sheet carrying value; UPB of the loans to be sold is $434.3 million, or approximately 24% of the year-end total UPB in Residential's loan portfolio; the sale is expected to close in the first quarter of 2016.3

"In 2015, we substantially diversified Residential's acquisition strategies in light of evolving economic conditions and higher pricing in the NPL marketplace, negotiating and completing many key capital markets and financing transactions for Residential throughout the year," stated Chief Executive Officer George G. Ellison. "Although our asset management fees were lower in 2015 under the new Asset Management Agreement with Residential, we continue to believe the amended fee structure promotes the long-term stability of our client, further aligns our incentives with Residential's mission, which is to become one of the preeminent single-family rental companies in the industry and, most importantly, better positions Residential and AAMC to provide long-term value to their respective shareholders. We believe that Residential's ability to achieve its mission will be an important factor in AAMC's future growth."
