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 markets we serve.

We are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ASPS.” We are organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

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

Altisource consolidates Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc., which is managed by The Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource. Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc. is a mortgage cooperative doing business as Lenders One^® (“Lenders One”). MPA provides services to Lenders One under a management agreement that ends on December 31, 2025 (with renewals for three successive five-year periods at MPA’s option).

The management agreement between MPA and Lenders One, pursuant to which MPA is the management company, represents a variable interest in a variable interest entity. MPA is the primary beneficiary of Lenders One as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the cooperative’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the cooperative. As a result, Lenders One is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis and the interests of the members are reflected as non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2018, Lenders One had total assets of $4.8 million and total liabilities of $3.1 million. As of December 31, 2017, Lenders One had total assets of $4.6 million and total liabilities of $3.1 million.

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, 2017, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018.

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and during 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance providing clarifications and corrections, including: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, andASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (collectively “Topic 606”). Topic 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most prior revenue recognition guidance. This new standard requires that an entity recognize revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive and consistent with the delivery of the performance obligation described in the underlying contract with the customer.

The Company adopted Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect method. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized an $11.2 million increase in deferred revenue, a $1.1 million increase in unbilled accounts receivable, a $0.3 million increase in other current liabilities and a $10.4 million decrease in retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Because the Company adopted Topic 606 retrospectively with a cumulative effect as of January 1, 2018, the comparative results as of December 31, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 have not been restated and continue to be reported under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. The details of the significant changes and quantitative impact of the adoption of Topic 606 are described below. Also see Note 14 for additional information on revenue, including disaggregation of revenue and contract balances.

As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, the Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition is as follows:

We recognize revenue from the services we provide in accordance with the 5-step process outlined in Topic 606. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive. This revenue can be recognized at a point in time or over time. We invoice customers based on our contractual arrangements with each customer, which may not be consistent with the period that revenues are recognized. When there is a timing difference between when we invoice customers and when revenues are recognized, we record either a contract asset (unbilled accounts receivable) or a contract liability (deferred revenue or other current liabilities), as appropriate. A description of our principal revenue generating activities by reportable segment are as follows:

Mortgage Market

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided.

• For loan servicing technologies, we recognize revenue based on the number of loans on the system, on a per-transaction basis or over the estimated average number of months the loans and real estate owned (“REO”) are on the platform, as applicable. We generally recognize revenue for professional services relating to loan servicing technologies over the contract period. For our loan origination system, we generally recognize revenue over the contract term, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. For foreclosure trustee services, we recognize revenue over the period during which we perform the related services, with full recognition upon completion and/or recording the related foreclosure deed. For loan disbursement processing services, we recognize revenue over the period during which we perform the processing services with full recognition upon completion of the disbursements. We use judgment to determine the period over which we recognize revenue for certain of these services. For mortgage charge-off collections performed on behalf of our clients, we recognize revenue as a percentage of amounts collected following collection from the borrowers.

• For real estate brokerage and auction services, we recognize revenue on a net basis as we perform services as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the commission earned on the sale is a fixed percentage or amount.

• Reimbursable expenses revenue, primarily related to our property preservation and inspection services, real estate sales and our foreclosure trustee services businesses, is included in revenue with an equal amount recognized in cost of revenue. These amounts are recognized on a gross basis, principally because generally we have control over selection of vendors and the vendor relationship is with us, rather than with our customers.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Real Estate Market

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided.

• For our renovation services, revenue is recognized over the period of the construction activity, based on the estimated percentage of completion of the projects. We use judgment to determine the period over which we recognize revenue for certain of these services. For real estate brokerage and auction services, we recognize revenue on a net basis as we perform services as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the commission earned on the sale is a fixed percentage or amount. For the buy-renovate-lease-sell business, we recognize revenue associated with our sales of short-term investments in real estate on a gross basis as we assume the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

• Reimbursable expenses revenue, primarily related to our real estate sales business, is included in revenue with an equal offsetting expense recognized in cost of revenue. These amounts are recognized on a gross basis, principally because generally we have control over selection of vendors and the vendor relationship is with us, rather than with our customers.

Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided. We generally earn fees for our post-charge-off consumer debt collection services as a percentage of the amount we collect on delinquent consumer receivables and recognize revenue following collection from the borrowers. We provide customer relationship management services for which we typically earn and recognize revenue on a per-person, per-call or per-minute basis as the related services are performed.

• For the information technology (“IT”) infrastructure services we provide to Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”), Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) and Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”), we recognize revenue primarily based on the number of users of the applicable systems, fixed fees and the number and type of licensed platforms. We recognize revenue associated with implementation services upon completion and maintenance services ratably over the related service period.

The adoption of Topic 606 did not have any impact on net cash flows used in operating, financing or investing activities on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Financial Instruments

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 requires 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings and decrease accumulated other comprehensive income by $0.7 million on January 1, 2018. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s investment in RESI subsequent to January 1, 2018, as well as any equity investments acquired in the future, will be reflected as a component of net income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Other Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. This standard requires that companies recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset (other than inventory) when the transfer occurs. Previous guidance prohibited 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s 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 requires 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and was adopted using the retrospective transition method, as required by the standard. The adoption of this standard resulted in the classification of the Company’s restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result, the Company included $5.8 million, $3.8 million, $4.4 million and $4.1 million of restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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 Topic 606. This standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This standard provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require the application of modification accounting. This standard requires companies to continue to apply modification accounting, unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of an award all do not change as a result of the modification. This standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

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. This 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 arrangements where the Company is a lessee, we estimate that the new standard, if implemented as of June 30, 2018, would result in approximately $17.6 million right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. 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 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

11

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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 August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this standard better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedging results. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application 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.

NOTE 2 — CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 51% of our total revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 (50% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2018). Ocwen is a residential mortgage loan servicer of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) it owns, including those MSRs in which others have an economic interest, and a subservicer of MSRs owned by others. Ocwen purchases certain mortgage services and technology services from us under the terms of master services agreements and amendments thereto (collectively, the “Ocwen Services Agreements”) with terms extending through August 2025. Certain of the Ocwen Service Agreements contain a “most favored nation” provision and also grant the parties the right to renegotiate pricing, among other things. 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 loan portfolios acquired by Ocwen in December 2012 and February 2013, respectively. Ocwen also purchases certain origination services from Altisource under an agreement that continues until January 2019, but which is subject to a 90 day termination right by Ocwen.

Revenue from Ocwen primarily consists of revenue earned from the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen when Ocwen designates us as the service provider and revenue earned directly from Ocwen. For the six months endedJune 30, 2018 and 2017, we generated revenue from Ocwen of $210.8 million and $285.6 million, respectively ($108.8 million and $144.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively). Revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of segment and consolidated revenue was as follows:

	Three months ended  June 30,				Six months ended  June 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Mortgage Market	60	%	68	%	60	%	68	%
Real Estate Market	1	%	1	%	1	%	1	%
Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations	9	%	11	%	9	%	13	%
Consolidated revenue	50	%	58	%	51	%	58	%

We earn additional revenue related to the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selects Altisource as the service provider. For the six months endedJune 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized revenue of $26.2 million and $82.9 million, respectively ($11.0 million and $41.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively), related to the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selected Altisource as the service provider. These amounts are not included in deriving revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of revenue in the table above.

As of June 30, 2018, accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled $16.5 million, $12.2 million of which was billed and $4.3 million of which was unbilled. As of December 31, 2017, accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled $18.9 million, $13.6 million of which was billed and $5.3 million of which was unbilled.

As of March 31, 2018, New Residential Investment Corp. (individually, together with one or more of its subsidiaries or one or more of its subsidiaries individually, “NRZ”) owned Ocwen-serviced MSRs and rights to MSRs (the “Subject MSRs”) with underlying unpaid principal balances (“UPB”) of $98.3 billion. As of March 31, 2018, Ocwen serviced and subserviced MSRs with underlying UPB of $173.4 billion. As previously disclosed, in July 2017, Ocwen and NRZ entered into agreements to convert NRZ’s economic rights to the Subject MSRs into fully-owned MSRs in exchange for payments from NRZ to Ocwen when such

12

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Subject MSRs were transferred. The transfers are subject to certain third party consents. Ocwen disclosed that under these agreements, Ocwen would subservice the transferred Subject MSRs for an initial term of five years, and the agreements provided for the conversion of the existing arrangements into a more traditional subservicing arrangement.

In January 2018, Ocwen disclosed that it and NRZ entered into new agreements to accelerate the implementation of certain parts of their July 2017 arrangement in order to achieve the intent of the July 2017 agreements sooner while Ocwen continues the process of obtaining the third party consents necessary to transfer the Subject MSRs to NRZ.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource, through its licensed subsidiaries, entered into a Cooperative Brokerage Agreement, as amended, and related letter agreement (collectively, the “Brokerage Agreement”) with NRZ which extends through August 2025. Under this agreement and related amendments, Altisource remains the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs when Ocwen transfers such MSRs to NRZ or when NRZ acquires both an additional economic interest in such Subject MSRs and the right to designate the broker for REO properties in such portfolios. The Brokerage Agreement provides that Altisource is the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs, irrespective of the sub-servicer. NRZ’s brokerage subsidiary receives a cooperative brokerage commission on the sale of certain REO properties from these portfolios subject to certain exceptions.

For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, we earned revenue from NRZ of $8.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively, following the transfer of certain of the Subject MSRs from Ocwen to NRZ (the “Transferred MSRs”) (no comparative amounts in 2017). For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, we earned additional revenue of $26.7 million and $42.8 million relating to the Transferred MSRs when a party other than NRZ selects Altisource as the service provider (no comparative amounts in 2017).

On August 28, 2017, Altisource and NRZ also entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent, as amended, to enter into a Services Agreement (the “Services LOI”), setting forth the terms pursuant to which Altisource would remain the exclusive service provider of fee-based services for the Subject MSRs through August 2025. The Services LOI was amended to continue through August 31, 2018.

The Brokerage Agreement can be terminated by Altisource if the Services Agreement is not signed by Altisource and NRZ during the term of the Services LOI, as extended. The Brokerage Agreement may otherwise only be terminated upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Termination events include, but are not limited to, a breach of the terms of the Brokerage Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to meet performance standards and non-compliance with law in a material respect), the failure to maintain licenses which failure materially prevents performance of the contract, regulatory allegations of non-compliance resulting in an adversarial proceeding against NRZ, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, disclosure in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q that there is significant uncertainty about Altisource’s ability to continue as a going concern, failure to maintain a specified level of cash and an unapproved change of control.

We anticipate that revenue from NRZ will increase over time and revenue from Ocwen will decrease. As Subject MSRs continue to transfer from Ocwen to NRZ and following the anticipated execution of the Services Agreement, we expect that NRZ will become our largest customer. Had all of the Subject MSRs been transferred to NRZ and the Brokerage Agreement and the Services Agreement with NRZ been in place as of January 1, 2018, we estimate that approximately 48% of our revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 would have been related to NRZ. There can be no assurance that the parties will reach an agreement with respect to the terms of the Services Agreement or that a Services Agreement will be entered into on a timely basis or at all.

NOTE 3 — INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES

During 2016, we purchased 4.1 million shares of RESI common stock for $48.2 million. This investment is reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at a fair value of $43.2 million as of June 30, 2018 and $49.2 million as of December 31, 2017. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized an unrealized gain (loss) of $1.5 million and $(6.0) million, respectively, on our investment in RESI in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as a result of a change in the market value of RESI common shares. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, an unrealized gain (loss) on our investment in RESI of $(7.0) million and $5.7 million, respectively, net of income tax expense (benefit), was reflected in other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (see Note 1 for additional information on the adoption of the new accounting standard on investments in equity securities). During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we earned dividends of $1.2 million in each period related to this investment ($0.6 million in both the second quarter of 2018 and 2017).

On April 3, 2018, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l. entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain lenders. Under the Credit Agreement, Altisource borrowed $412.0 million in the form of Term B Loans and obtained a $15.0 million revolving credit facility. The Term B Loans mature in April 2024 and the revolving credit facility matures in April 2023. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain subsidiaries are guarantors of the term loan and the revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

Proceeds from the Term B Loans were used to repay the Company’s prior senior secured term loan, which had an outstanding balance of $412.1 million as of April 3, 2018. In connection with the refinancing, we recognized a loss of $4.4 million from the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount in the second quarter of 2018. This loss was included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The Term B Loans must be repaid in consecutive quarterly principal installments with $24.7 million due in 2018, $41.2 million due in 2019, $25.7 million due in 2020 and $12.4 million due annually thereafter, with the balance due at maturity. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repaid $8.2 million of the Term B Loans. All amounts outstanding under the Term B Loans will become due on the earlier of (i) April 3, 2024, and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the Credit Agreement) or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In addition to the scheduled principal payments, subject to certain exceptions, the Term B Loans are 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 Credit Agreement (the percentage increases if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00). Certain mandatory prepayments reduce future contractual amortization payments by an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment. No mandatory prepayments were owed for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Altisource may incur incremental indebtedness under the Credit Agreement from one or more incremental lenders, which may include existing lenders, in an aggregate incremental principal amount not to exceed $125.0 million, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including a sublimit of $80.0 million with respect to incremental revolving credit commitments. The lenders have no obligation to provide any incremental indebtedness.

The Term B Loans bear interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a three month interest period and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) 4.00%. Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.00% plus (ii) 3.00%. The interest rate at June 30, 2018 was 6.33%.

Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a three month interest period plus (ii) 4.00%. Base Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate plus (ii) 3.00%. The unused commitment fee is 0.50%. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2018.

The payment of all amounts owing by Altisource under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Guarantors and is secured by a pledge of all equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Altisource, as well as a lien on substantially all of the assets of Altisource S.à r.l. and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement includes covenants that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to incur indebtedness; incur liens on our assets; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; make Restricted Junior Payments including share repurchases, dividends and repayment of junior indebtedness; make investments; dispose of equity interests of any Material Subsidiaries; engage in a line of business substantially different than existing businesses and businesses reasonably related, complimentary or ancillary thereto; amend material debt agreements or other material contracts; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; grant negative pledges or agree to such other restrictions relating to subsidiary dividends and distributions; make changes to our fiscal year; and engage in mergers and consolidations; and to the extent any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding on the last day of a fiscal quarter, permit the Total Leverage Ratio to be greater than 3.50:1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, subject to a customary cure provision (the “Revolving Financial Covenant”).

The Credit Agreement contains certain events of default including (i) failure to pay principal when due or interest or any other amount owing on any other obligation under the Credit Agreement within five days of becoming due, (ii) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (iii) breach of certain other covenants, subject to cure periods described in the Credit Agreement, (iv) a breach of the Revolving Financial Covenant, subject to a customary cure provision and not an Event of Default with respect to the Term Loans unless and until the Required Revolving Lenders accelerate the Revolving Credit Loans, (v) failure to pay principal or interest on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million when due, (vi) default on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million that causes, or gives the holder or holders of such debt the ability to cause, an acceleration of such debt, (vii) occurrence of a Change of Control, (viii) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (ix) entry by a court of one or more judgments against us in an amount in excess of $40.0 million that remain unbonded, undischarged or unstayed for a certain number of days after the entry thereof, (x) the occurrence of certain ERISA events and (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 Credit Agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the facility could be terminated.

At June 30, 2018, debt issuance costs were $4.3 million, net of $0.2 million of accumulated amortization. At December 31, 2017, debt issuance costs related to the prior term loans were $3.2 million, net of $7.1 million of accumulated amortization.

In the second quarter of 2017, we repurchased portions of our prior senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $26.0 million at a weighted average discount of 16.5%, recognizing a net gain of $3.9 million on the early extinguishment of debt (no comparative amounts in 2018). The net gain was included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments and certain liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The following fair values are estimated using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP:

Liabilities:
Long-term debt	403,760		—		401,067		—		413,581		—		407,377		—

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

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

Investment in equity securities is carried at fair value and consists of 4.1 million shares of RESI common stock. The investment in equity securities is measured using Level 1 inputs as this security has a quoted price in an active market.

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.

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 approximately 50% 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 larger customers, if known.

NOTE 13 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share Repurchase Program

On May 15, 2018, our shareholders approved the renewal of the share repurchase program previously approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2017, which replaced the previous share repurchase program. We are authorized to purchase up to 4.3 million shares of our common stock, based on a limit of 25% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval, at a minimum price of $1.00 per share and a maximum price of $500.00 per share, for a period of five years from the date of approval. As of

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

June 30, 2018, approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. We purchased 0.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $27.39 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 0.8 million shares at an average price of $22.15 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2017 (0.4 million shares at an average price of $27.14 per share for the second quarter of 2018 and 0.4 million shares at an average price of $19.17 per share for the second quarter of 2017). Luxembourg law limits share repurchases to the balance of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (unconsolidated parent company) retained earnings, less the value of shares repurchased. As of June 30, 2018, we can repurchase up to approximately $142 million of our common stock under Luxembourg law. The Credit Agreement also limits the amount we can spend on share repurchases, which was approximately $456 million as of June 30, 2018, and may prevent repurchases in certain circumstances.

Share-Based Compensation

We issue share-based awards in the form of stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units for certain employees, officers and directors. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $4.1 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively ($1.9 million and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively). As of June 30, 2018, estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards amounted to $14.5 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately 2.12 years.

In connection with the January 1, 2017 adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, 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 recognized net of estimated forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 40%. 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.

Stock Options

Stock option grants are composed of a combination of service-based, market-based and performance-based options.

Service-Based Options. These options generally vest over three or four years with equal annual vesting and expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of 575 thousand service-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

Market-Based Options. These option grants generally have two components, each of which vests only upon the achievement of certain criteria. The first component, which we refer to as “ordinary performance” grants, generally consists of two-thirds of the market-based grant and begins to vest if the stock price is at least double the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 20% over the exercise price. The remaining third of the market-based options, which we refer to as “extraordinary performance” grants, generally begins to vest if the stock price is at least triple the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 25% over the exercise price. Market-based 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 equal annual installments. Market-based options generally expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service, unless the performance criteria is met prior to termination of service or in the final three years of the option term, in which case vesting will generally continue in accordance with the provisions of the award agreement. A total of 684 thousand market-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

Performance-Based Options. These option grants generally begin to vest upon the achievement of certain specific financial measures. Generally, the awards begin vesting if the performance criteria are achieved; one-fourth vest on each anniversary of the grant date. For certain other financial measures, awards cliff-vest upon the achievement of the specific performance during the period from 2018 through 2021. The award of performance-based options is adjusted based on the level of achievement specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above threshold performance levels, participants have the opportunity to vest in 50% to 200% of the option grants, depending upon performance achieved. If the performance criteria achieved is below a certain threshold, the award is canceled. The options expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. There were 282 thousand performance-based awards outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

The Company granted 272 thousand stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $25.06 per share) and 129 thousand stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $39.13 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

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:

	Six months ended  June 30, 2018		Six months ended  June 30, 2017
	Black-Scholes	Binomial	Black-Scholes	Binomial
Risk-free interest rate (%)	2.66 – 2.98	1.64 – 2.83	2.06 – 2.29	0.77 – 2.38
Expected stock price volatility (%)	70.31 – 71.86	71.81 – 71.86	61.49 – 66.68	66.68
Expected dividend yield	—	—	—	—
Expected option life (in years)	6.00 – 6.25	2.56 – 4.32	6.00 – 7.50	3.53 – 3.85
Fair value	$16.17 – $19.06	$14.67 – $18.28	$23.91 – $24.80	$23.54 – $24.30

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 periods presented:

	Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2018		2017
Weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted per share	$	16.27	$	24.23
Intrinsic value of options exercised	4,393		875
Grant date fair value of stock options that vested	1,334		1,693

The following table summarizes the activity related to our stock options:

	Number of options		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average contractual term (in years)	Aggregate intrinsic value (in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2017	1,745,906		$	28.20	4.96	$	10,202
Granted	271,876		25.06
Exercised	(295,752	)	9.48
Forfeited	(180,578	)	33.91
Outstanding at June 30, 2018	1,541,452		30.56		5.76	5,235
Exercisable at June 30, 2018	921,627		27.03		3.96	5,132

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company modified the performance thresholds that are required to be met in order for vesting to occur for 263 thousand stock options granted to 16 employees in the first quarter of 2018. The award modification did not change the inputs into the valuation model or the Company’s assessment of the probability of vesting as of the effective date of the modifications. Consequently, no incremental compensation expense was required as a result of this modification.

Other Share-Based Awards

The Company’s other share-based and similar types of awards are composed of restricted shares and, beginning in 2018, restricted share units. The restricted shares and restricted share units are composed of a combination of service-based awards and performance-based awards.

Service-Based Awards. These awards generally vest over one to four years with vesting in equal annual installments, vesting of all of the restricted shares at the end of the vesting period or vesting beginning after two years of service. A total of 475 thousand service-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Performance-Based Awards. These awards generally begin to vest upon the achievement of certain specific financial measures. Generally, the awards begin vesting if the performance criteria are achieved; one-third vest on each anniversary of the grant date. The number of performance-based restricted shares that may vest will be based on the level of achievement, as specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above threshold performance levels, participants have the opportunity to vest in 80% to 150% of the restricted share award, depending on performance level achieved. If the performance criteria achieved is below a certain threshold, the award is canceled. A total of two thousand performance-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

The Company granted 305 thousand restricted shares and restricted share units (at a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.23 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The following table summarizes the activity related to our restricted shares and restricted share units:

	Number of restricted shares
Outstanding at December 31, 2017	356,509

NOTE 14 — REVENUE

Revenue includes service revenue, reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests. Service revenue consists of amounts attributable to our fee-based services and sales of short-term investments in real estate. Reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests are pass-through items for which we earn no margin. Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts we incur on behalf of our customers in performing our fee-based services that we pass directly on to our customers without a markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings of Lenders One, a consolidated entity that is a mortgage cooperative managed, but not owned, by Altisource. Lenders One is included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource (see Note 1).

The components of revenue were as follows:

	Three months ended  June 30,				Six months ended  June 30,
(in thousands)	2018		2017		2018		2017
Service revenue	$	208,861	$	238,107	$	397,627	$	467,946

NOTE 18 — 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:

	Three months ended  June 30,				Six months ended  June 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2018		2017		2018			2017
Net income (loss) attributable to Altisource	$	1,568	$	9,035	$	(2,564	)	$	15,580
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic	17,142		18,335		17,260			18,497
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units	411		501		—			572
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted	17,553		18,836		17,260			19,069
Earnings (loss) per share:
Basic	$	0.09	$	0.49	$	(0.15	)	$	0.84
Diluted	$	0.09	$	0.48	$	(0.15	)	$	0.82

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 0.3 million options and 0.4 million options, respectively (0.3 million options and 0.4 million options for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively), were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive since their exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common stock. Also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 0.5 million options, restricted shares and restricted share units and 0.3 million options and restricted shares, respectively (0.5 million options, restricted shares and restricted share units and 0.3 million options and restricted shares for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively), which 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. Furthermore, as a result of the net loss attributable to Altisource for the six months ended June 30, 2018, 0.5 million options, restricted shares and restricted share units were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as their impact was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 19 — COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

We record a liability for contingencies if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where the reasonable estimate of loss is a range, we record a best estimate of loss within the range.

Litigation

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

Regulatory Matters

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

As previously disclosed, the Company 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 was considering a potential enforcement action against Altisource relating to an alleged violation of federal law focused on the REALServicing^® platform and certain other technology services provided to Ocwen, including claims related to the features, functioning and support of such technology. The NORA process provides the recipient an opportunity to present its positions to the CFPB before an enforcement action is

On December 5, 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. By letter dated April 3, 2018, the CFPB informed the Company that the investigation of the Company has been completed and the staff of the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement currently does not intend to recommend that the CFPB take enforcement action, and further that the Company is relieved of the document-retention obligations pursuant to the civil investigative process.

Ocwen Related Matters

As discussed in Note 2, during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 51% of our total revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 (50% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2018). Additionally, 6% of our revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 (5% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2018) was earned on the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selected Altisource as the service provider.

Ocwen has disclosed that it is subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, cease and desist orders, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demand, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings, some of which include claims against Ocwen for substantial monetary damages. For example, on May 15, 2017, Ocwen disclosed that 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. As another example, on May 15, 2017, Ocwen also disclosed that on April 28, 2017, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts filed a lawsuit against Ocwen in the Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts alleging violations of state consumer financial laws relating to Ocwen’s servicing business, including lender-placed insurance and property preservation fees. Ocwen disclosed that the complaints seek to obtain permanent injunctive relief, consumer redress, refunds, restitution, disgorgement, damages, civil penalties, costs and fees and other relief. The forgoing or other matters could result in, and in some cases, have resulted in, adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. Previous regulatory actions against Ocwen resulted in subjecting Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placing certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights.

In addition to the above, Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, cease and desist orders, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information, other matters or legal proceedings, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen.

The foregoing may have significant adverse effects on Ocwen’s business and/or our continuing relationship with Ocwen. For example, Ocwen may be required to alter the way it conducts business, including the parties it contracts with for services (including IT and software services), it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing or origination licenses. Additional regulatory actions or adverse financial developments 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.

If any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue could 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 remaining 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

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

• Altisource otherwise fails to be retained as a service provider

Management cannot predict the outcome of these matters or the amount of any impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these 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 loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen (such as a transfer of Ocwen’s remaining servicing rights to a successor servicer), we believe the impact to Altisource could occur over an extended period of time. During this period, we believe that we will continue to generate revenue from all or a portion of Ocwen’s loan portfolios.

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Our Servicer Solutions, Origination Solutions, Consumer Real Estate Solutions and Real Estate Investor Solutions businesses are focused on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base and we have a sales and marketing strategy to support these businesses. 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 has notified us, disclosed in its filings and stated in connection with resolving several state administrative actions discussed above, that it plans to transition from REALServicing to another mortgage servicing software platform. Furthermore, Ocwen disclosed in its filings that its pending acquisition of PHH Corporation is expected to accelerate its transition to a new servicing platform. Altisource is supporting Ocwen through this transition. We do not anticipate that a servicing technology transition would materially impact the other services we provide to Ocwen. For the six months endedJune 30, 2018 and 2017, service revenue from REALServicing was $11.9 million and $13.4 million, respectively ($5.4 million and $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively).

In addition to the above, as of March 31, 2018, NRZ owned the Subject MSRs with underlying UPB of $98.3 billion. As of March 31, 2018, Ocwen serviced and subserviced MSRs with underlying UPB of $173.4 billion. As previously disclosed, in July 2017, Ocwen and NRZ entered into agreements to convert NRZ’s economic rights to the Subject MSRs into fully-owned MSRs in exchange for payments from NRZ to Ocwen when such Subject MSRs were transferred. The transfers are subject to certain third party consents. Ocwen disclosed that under these agreements, Ocwen would subservice the transferred Subject MSRs for an initial term of five years, and the agreements provided for the conversion of the existing arrangements into a more traditional subservicing arrangement.

In January 2018, Ocwen disclosed that it and NRZ entered into new agreements to accelerate the implementation of certain parts of their July 2017 arrangement in order to achieve the intent of the July 2017 agreements sooner while Ocwen continues the process of obtaining the third party consents necessary to transfer the Subject MSRs to NRZ.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource, through its licensed subsidiaries, entered into the Brokerage Agreement with NRZ which extends through August 2025. Under this agreement and related amendments, Altisource remains the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs when Ocwen transfers such MSRs to NRZ or when NRZ acquires both an additional economic interest in such Subject MSRs and the right to designate the broker for REO properties in such portfolios. The Brokerage Agreement provides that Altisource is the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs, irrespective of the sub-servicer. NRZ’s brokerage subsidiary receives a cooperative brokerage commission on the sale of certain REO properties from these portfolios subject to certain exceptions.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource and NRZ also entered into the Services LOI, setting forth the terms pursuant to which Altisource would remain the exclusive service provider of fee-based services for the Subject MSRs through August 2025. The Services LOI was amended to continue through August 31, 2018.

The Brokerage Agreement can be terminated by Altisource if the Services Agreement is not signed by Altisource and NRZ during the term of the Services LOI, as extended. The Brokerage Agreement may otherwise only be terminated upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Termination events include, but are not limited to, a breach of the terms of the Brokerage Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to meet performance standards and non-compliance with law in a material respect), the failure to maintain licenses which failure materially prevents performance of the contract, regulatory allegations of non-compliance resulting in an adversarial proceeding against NRZ, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, disclosure in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q that there is significant uncertainty about Altisource’s ability to continue as a going concern, failure to maintain a specified level of cash and an unapproved change of control.

We anticipate that revenue from NRZ will increase over time and revenue from Ocwen will decrease. As Subject MSRs continue to transfer from Ocwen to NRZ and following the anticipated execution of the Services Agreement, we expect that NRZ will become our largest customer. Had all of the Subject MSRs been transferred to NRZ and the Brokerage Agreement and the Services Agreement with NRZ been in place as of January 1, 2018, we estimate that approximately 48% of our revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 would have been related to NRZ. There can be no assurance that the parties will reach an agreement with respect to the terms of the Services Agreement or that a Services Agreement will be entered into on a timely basis or at all.

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 asset recovery management business’s collections. These amounts are held in escrow and trust

accounts for limited periods of time and are not included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts held in escrow and trust accounts were $20.8 million and $35.1 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

NOTE 20 — SEGMENT REPORTING

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

We report our operations through two reportable segments: Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market. In addition, we report Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations separately. The Mortgage Market segment provides loan servicers and originators with marketplaces, services and technologies that span the mortgage lifecycle. The Real Estate Market segment provides real estate consumers and rental property investors with marketplaces and services that span the real estate lifecycle. In addition, the Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations segment includes businesses that provide post-charge-off consumer debt collection services primarily to debt originators (e.g., credit card, auto lending and retail credit), customer relationship management services primarily to the utility, insurance and hotel industries and IT infrastructure management services. Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations also includes interest expense and costs related to corporate support functions including executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, facilities, risk management, and sales and marketing costs not allocated to the business units as well as eliminations between the reportable segments.

OVERVIEW

Our Business

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

We are an integrated service provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries. Combining operational excellence with a suite of innovative services and technologies, Altisource helps solve the demands of the ever-changing markets we serve.

Our reportable segments are as follows:

Mortgage Market: Provides loan servicers and originators with marketplaces, services and technologies that span the mortgage lifecycle. Within the Mortgage Market segment, we provide:

Servicer Solutions - the solutions, services and technologies typically used or licensed primarily by residential loan servicers.

• Property preservation and inspection services • Real estate brokerage and auction services • Title insurance (agent and related services) and settlement services • Appraisal management services, valuation data, broker and non-broker valuation services • Foreclosure trustee services • Residential and commercial loan servicing technologies • Vendor management, marketplace transaction management and payment management technologies • Document management platform • Default services (real estate owned (“REO”), foreclosure, bankruptcy, eviction) technologies • Mortgage charge-off collections • Residential and commercial construction inspection and risk mitigation services

Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations: Includes certain ancillary businesses, interest expense and unallocated costs related to corporate support functions. The businesses in this segment include post-charge-off consumer debt collection services, customer relationship management services and information technology (“IT”) infrastructure management services. Interest expense relates

30

to the Company’s senior secured term loan and corporate support functions include executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, facilities, risk management and sales and marketing costs not allocated to the business units. This segment also includes eliminations of transactions between the reportable segments.

We classify revenue in three categories: service revenue, revenue from reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests. In evaluating our performance, we focus on service revenue. Service revenue consists of amounts attributable to our fee-based services and sales of short-term investments in real estate. Reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests are pass-through items for which we earn no margin. Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts we incur on behalf of our customers in performing our fee-based services that we pass directly on to our customers without a markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings of Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc., doing business as Lenders One^® (“Lenders One”). Lenders One is a mortgage cooperative managed, but not owned, by Altisource. Lenders One is included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource.

Strategy and Growth Businesses

We are focused on becoming one of the premier providers of mortgage and real estate marketplaces and related services to a broad and diversified customer base. Within the mortgage and real estate market segments, we facilitate transactions and provide products, solutions and services related to home sales, home purchases, home rentals, home maintenance, mortgage originations and mortgage servicing.

Each of our strategic businesses provides Altisource the potential to grow and diversify our customer and revenue base. We believe these businesses operate in very large markets and directly leverage our core competencies and distinct competitive advantages. A further description of our four strategic businesses follows.

Servicer Solutions:

Through this business, we provide a 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”), NRZ, several large bank and non-bank servicers and asset managers. 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 business, we provide a suite of services and technologies to meet the evolving and growing needs of lenders, mortgage purchasers and securitizers. We are focused on growing referrals from our existing customer base, 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 position us to grow our relationships with our existing customer base by providing additional products, services and solutions to these customers. Further, we believe we are well positioned to 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 business, we provide real estate buyers and sellers with a technology enabled real estate brokerage and integrated services to support them in buying and selling a home. Our offerings include local real estate agent services and loan brokerage as well as closing and title services. We are focused on continuing to develop this business by capitalizing on Altisource’s experience in online real estate marketing and loan origination services as well as on more recently developed agile execution competencies.

Real Estate Investor Solutions:

Through this business, we provide a suite of services and technologies to support buyers and sellers of single-family investment homes, including our purchase, renovation, leasing and sale of short-term investments in real estate. 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 Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) 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 acquisition, renovation, property management, leasing and disposition platform provides a strong value proposition for institutional and retail investors and positions us well for growth.

31

There can be no assurance that growth from some or all of our strategic businesses will be successful or our operations will be profitable.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 15, 2018, our shareholders approved the renewal of the share repurchase program previously approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2017, which replaced the previous share repurchase program. We are authorized to purchase up to 4.3 million shares of our common stock, based on a limit of 25% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval, at a minimum price of $1.00 per share and a maximum price of $500.00 per share, for a period of five years from the date of approval. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. We purchased 0.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $27.39 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 0.8 million shares at an average price of $22.15 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2017 (0.4 million shares at an average price of $27.14 per share for the second quarter of 2018 and 0.4 million shares at an average price of $19.17 per share for the second quarter of 2017). Luxembourg law limits share repurchases to the balance of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (unconsolidated parent company) retained earnings, less the value of shares repurchased. As of June 30, 2018, we can repurchase up to approximately $142 million of our common stock under Luxembourg law. The credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. limits the amount we can spend on share repurchases, which was approximately $456 million as of June 30, 2018, and may prevent repurchases in certain circumstances.

Ocwen Related Matters

During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 51% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (50% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2018). Additionally, 6% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (5% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2018) was earned on the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen or the mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) owner selected Altisource as the service provider.

Ocwen has disclosed that it is subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, cease and desist orders, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demand, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings, some of which include claims against Ocwen for substantial monetary damages. For example, on May 15, 2017, Ocwen disclosed that 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. As another example, on May 15, 2017, Ocwen also disclosed that on April 28, 2017, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts filed a lawsuit against Ocwen in the Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts alleging violations of state consumer financial laws relating to Ocwen’s servicing business, including lender-placed insurance and property preservation fees. Ocwen disclosed that the complaints seek to obtain permanent injunctive relief, consumer redress, refunds, restitution, disgorgement, damages, civil penalties, costs and fees and other relief. The forgoing or other matters could result in, and in some cases, have resulted in, adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. Previous regulatory actions against Ocwen resulted in subjecting Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placing certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights.

In addition to the above, Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, cease and desist orders, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information, other matters or legal proceedings, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen.

The foregoing may have significant adverse effects on Ocwen’s business and/or our continuing relationship with Ocwen. For example, Ocwen may be required to alter the way it conducts business, including the parties it contracts with for services (including IT and software services), it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing or origination licenses. Additional regulatory actions or adverse financial developments 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.

If any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue could 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 remaining non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements and Altisource fails to be retained as a service provider

32

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

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

• Altisource otherwise fails to be retained as a service provider

Management cannot predict the outcome of these matters or the amount of any impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these 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 loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen (such as a transfer of Ocwen’s remaining servicing rights to a successor servicer), we believe the impact to Altisource could occur over an extended period of time. During this period, we believe that we will continue to generate revenue from all or a portion of Ocwen’s loan portfolios.

Our Servicer Solutions, Origination Solutions, Consumer Real Estate Solutions and Real Estate Investor Solutions businesses are focused on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base and we have a sales and marketing strategy to support these businesses. 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 has notified us, disclosed in its filings and stated in connection with resolving several state administrative actions discussed above, that it plans to transition from REALServicing to another mortgage servicing software platform. Furthermore, Ocwen disclosed in its filings that its pending acquisition of PHH Corporation is expected to accelerate its transition to a new servicing platform. Altisource is supporting Ocwen through this transition. We do not anticipate that a servicing technology transition would materially impact the other services we provide to Ocwen. For the six months endedJune 30, 2018 and 2017, service revenue from REALServicing was $11.9 million and $13.4 million, respectively ($5.4 million and $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively).

In addition to the above, as of March 31, 2018, NRZ owned Ocwen-serviced MSRs and rights to MSRs (the “Subject MSRs”) with underlying unpaid principal balances (“UPB”) of $98.3 billion. As of March 31, 2018, Ocwen serviced and subserviced MSRs with underlying UPB of $173.4 billion. As previously disclosed, in July 2017, Ocwen and NRZ entered into agreements to convert NRZ’s economic rights to the Subject MSRs into fully-owned MSRs in exchange for payments from NRZ to Ocwen when such Subject MSRs were transferred. The transfers are subject to certain third party consents. Ocwen disclosed that under these agreements, Ocwen would subservice the transferred Subject MSRs for an initial term of five years, and the agreements provided for the conversion of the existing arrangements into a more traditional subservicing arrangement.

In January 2018, Ocwen disclosed that it and NRZ entered into new agreements to accelerate the implementation of certain parts of their July 2017 arrangement in order to achieve the intent of the July 2017 agreements sooner while Ocwen continues the process of obtaining the third party consents necessary to transfer the Subject MSRs to NRZ.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource, through its licensed subsidiaries, entered into the Brokerage Agreement with NRZ which extends through August 2025. Under this agreement and related amendments, Altisource remains the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs when Ocwen transfers such MSRs to NRZ or when NRZ acquires both an additional economic interest in such Subject MSRs and the right to designate the broker for REO properties in such portfolios. The Brokerage Agreement provides that Altisource is the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs, irrespective of the sub-servicer. NRZ’s brokerage subsidiary receives a cooperative brokerage commission on the sale of certain REO properties from these portfolios subject to certain exceptions.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource and NRZ also entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent, as amended, to enter into a Services Agreement (the “Services LOI”), setting forth the terms pursuant to which Altisource would remain the exclusive service provider of fee-based services for the Subject MSRs through August 2025. The Services LOI was amended to continue through August 31, 2018.

The Brokerage Agreement can be terminated by Altisource if the Services Agreement is not signed by Altisource and NRZ during the term of the Services LOI, as extended. The Brokerage Agreement may otherwise only be terminated upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Termination events include, but are not limited to, a breach of the terms of the Brokerage Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to meet performance standards and non-compliance with law in a material respect), the failure to maintain licenses which failure materially prevents performance of the contract, regulatory allegations of non-compliance resulting in an adversarial proceeding against NRZ, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, disclosure in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q that there is significant uncertainty about Altisource’s ability to continue as a going concern, failure to maintain a specified level of cash and an unapproved change of control.

33

We anticipate that revenue from NRZ will increase over time and revenue from Ocwen will decrease. As Subject MSRs continue to transfer from Ocwen to NRZ and following the anticipated execution of the Services Agreement, we expect that NRZ will become our largest customer. Had all of the Subject MSRs been transferred to NRZ and the Brokerage Agreement and the Services Agreement with NRZ were in place as of January 1, 2018, we estimate that approximately 48% of our revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 would have been related to NRZ. There can be no assurance that the parties will reach an agreement with respect to the terms of the Services Agreement or that a Services Agreement will be entered into on a timely basis or at all.

Factors Affecting Comparability

The following items may impact the comparability of our results:

• The average number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing (including those MSRs owned by NRZ and subserviced by Ocwen) was approximately 1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of 13% (1.1 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 1.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of 13%). The average number of delinquent non-GSE loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing was approximately 162 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 184 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a decrease of 12% (153 thousand for the second quarter of 2018 and 177 thousand for the second quarter of 2017, a decrease of 14%).

• On April 3, 2018, Altisource and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l., entered into the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Altisource borrowed $412.0 million in the form of Term B Loans. Proceeds from the Term B Loans were used to repay the Company’s prior senior secured term loan. The interest rate of the Term B Loans during the second quarter of 2018 was 6.31%. The comparative interest rates under the Credit agreement and the prior credit agreement were 5.71% and 4.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively (4.51% for the second quarter of 2017). In connection with the refinancing, we recognized a loss of $4.4 million from the write-off of the unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount in the second quarter of 2018 (no comparative amounts in 2017).

• Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. Previously, changes in the fair value of the Company’s available for sale securities were included in comprehensive income. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized an unrealized loss from our investment in RESI common shares of $6.0 million (unrealized gain of $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2018). During the six months ended June 30, 2017, comprehensive income included an unrealized gain from our investment in RESI common shares of $5.7 million, net of a $2.1 million income tax provision (unrealized loss of $7.0 million, net of a $2.6 million income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2017). See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the adoption of the new accounting standard on investments in equity securities.

• In the second quarter of 2017, we repurchased portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $26.0 million at a weighted average discount of 16.5%, recognizing a net gain of $3.9 million on the early extinguishment of debt (no comparative amounts in 2018).

Revenue

We recognized service revenue of $397.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 15%decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($208.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 12%decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in service revenue in the Mortgage Market segment were primarily a result of the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio and number of delinquent loans in its portfolio resulting from loan repayments, loan modifications, short sales, REO sales and other forms of resolution, partially offset by service revenue growth in the non-Ocwen property preservation and inspection business. The decreases in service revenue in the Real Estate Market segment were primarily driven by RESI’s smaller

35

portfolio of non-performing loans and REO, partially offset by growth in the number of homes sold in the buy-renovate-lease-sell business, particularly in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, as well as growth in the renovation management and Consumer Real Estate Solutions businesses.

We recognized reimbursable expense revenue of $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 22%decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($9.0 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 24%decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in reimbursable expense revenue in the Mortgage Market segment were primarily a result of the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio and number of delinquent loans in its portfolio resulting from loan repayments, loan modifications, short sales, REO sales and other forms of resolution. The decrease in reimbursable expense revenue in the Real Estate Market segment was primarily from RESI’s smaller portfolio of non-performing loans and REO businesses.

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

Cost of Revenue 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, cost of real estate sold, reimbursable expenses, technology and telecommunications costs, and depreciation and amortization of operating assets.

Cost of revenue consisted of the following:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)		2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)
Compensation and benefits	$	54,769	$	62,666	(13	)	$	109,635	$	125,758	(13	)
Outside fees and services	68,879		86,255		(20	)	133,977		167,214		(20	)
Cost of real estate sold	13,320		7,114		87		16,499		12,049		37
Technology and telecommunications	10,852		10,941		(1	)	20,303		22,292		(9	)
Reimbursable expenses	9,008		11,891		(24	)	17,155		21,920		(22	)
Depreciation and amortization	6,378		6,526		(2	)	12,831		14,113		(9	)
Cost of revenue	$	163,206	$	185,393	(12	)	$	310,400	$	363,346	(15	)

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $310.4 milliondecreased15% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($163.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 12%decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in cost of revenue were primarily driven by lower outside fees and services, consistent with the decrease in Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market service revenue discussed in the revenue section above. Compensation and benefits declined in certain of our businesses as we reduced headcount in anticipation of the revenue decline from the Ocwen and RESI portfolios and from the implementation of efficiency initiatives. The decrease in reimbursable expenses was consistent with the decrease in reimbursable expenses revenue discussed in the revenue section above. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in cost of real estate sold in the Real Estate Market segment due to higher transaction volumes, particularly in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, as discussed in the revenue section above.

Gross profit decreased to $105.6 million, representing 27% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $127.8 million, representing 27% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (decreased to $55.4 million, representing 27% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $65.3 million, representing 27% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2017). Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was largely flat compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as the revenue declines were generally offset by lower cost of revenue, as discussed above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

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

36

SG&A expenses consisted of the following:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)		2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)
Compensation and benefits	$	12,197	$	15,541	(22	)	$	25,766	$	28,047	(8	)
Occupancy related costs	7,189		9,538		(25	)	15,623		19,811		(21	)
Amortization of intangible assets	7,544		9,393		(20	)	14,691		18,539		(21	)
Marketing costs	3,978		3,697		8		7,585		7,966		(5	)
Professional services	4,328		4,367		(1	)	7,554		8,097		(7	)
Depreciation and amortization	1,950		2,361		(17	)	4,218		4,782		(12	)
Other	5,738		7,573		(24	)	10,611		12,929		(18	)
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	42,924	$	52,470	(18	)	$	86,048	$	100,171	(14	)

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $86.0 milliondecreased14% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($42.9 million for the second quarter of 2018, an 18%decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in SG&A were primarily due to lower compensation and benefits in certain of our businesses as we reduced headcount from the implementation of efficiency initiatives. In addition, decreases in SG&A were due to lower occupancy costs, driven by the subleasing of certain office facilities, and lower amortization of intangible assets, driven by lower revenue generated by the Homeward Residential, Inc. (“Homeward”) and Residential Capital, LLC (“ResCap”) portfolios (revenue-based amortization) in the Mortgage Market segment, consistent with the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio discussed in the revenue section above. The decreases in SG&A were also due to the decrease in other from unfavorable loss accrual adjustments of $2.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2017 (no comparative amounts in 2018).

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased to $19.5 million, representing 5% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $27.7 million, representing 6% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (decreased to $12.4 million, representing 6% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $12.8 million, representing 5% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2017). Operating income as a percentage of service revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was largely flat compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, as the revenue declines were generally offset by lower cost of revenue and SG&A.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net principally includes interest expense and other non-operating gains and losses. Effective January 1, 2018, other income (expense), net includes unrealized gains and (losses) on our investment in RESI (see Factors Affecting Comparability above).

Other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $(21.4) million compares to $(5.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($(9.4) million for the second quarter of 2018 and $(0.7) million for the second quarter of 2017). The increase in other expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to an unrealized loss of $6.0 million on our investment in RESI in 2018, the $4.4 million loss on debt refinancing during the second quarter of 2018 and higher interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 from a higher interest rate on the Credit Agreement compared to the prior senior secured term loan. In addition, we recorded a net gain of $3.9 million on the early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in other expenses, net for the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to the loss on debt refinancing, higher interest expense and the net gain on the early extinguishment of debt, as discussed above, partially offset by an unrealized gain of $1.5 million on our investment in RESI for the second quarter of 2018.

Income Tax Benefit (Provision)

We recognized an income tax benefit of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to an income tax provision of $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (income tax provision of $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively). Our effective tax rate was 28.9% and 22.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively (26.6% and 20.0% for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively). Our effective tax rates differ from the Luxembourg statutory tax rate of 26.0% and 27.1% in 2018 and 2017, respectively, primarily due to the mix of income and losses with varying tax rates in multiple taxing jurisdictions and, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the effect of certain deductions in Luxembourg. Our effective income tax rate can vary due to changes in the mix of taxable income across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Total revenue	$	178,662	$	210,195	(15	)	$	346,000	$	414,918	(17	)

We recognized service revenue of $328.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 16% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($169.5 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 15% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). We also recognized reimbursable expense revenue of $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 20% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($8.5 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 23% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in service revenue and reimbursable expense revenue were primarily a result of the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio and number of delinquent loans in its portfolio resulting from loan repayments, loan modifications, short sales, REO sales and other forms of resolution in the Servicer Solutions business. These decreases were partially offset by growth in the non-Ocwen property preservation and inspection business.

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 and Gross Profit

Cost of revenue consisted of the following:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)		2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)

Cost of revenue	$	115,329	$	144,326	(20	)	$	226,402	$	284,476	(20	)

Cost of revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 of $226.4 million decreased by 20% compared to the six months endedJune 30, 2017 ($115.3 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 20% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in cost of revenue were primarily driven by lower service revenue and cost reduction initiatives. Additionally, the decrease in compensation and benefits and the decrease in technology and telecommunications costs were driven by the redeployment of certain technology resources to our Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations for the development of enterprise-wide technology initiatives. The decrease in reimbursable expenses was consistent with the decrease in reimbursable expenses revenue discussed in the revenue section above.

39

Gross profit decreased to $119.6 million, representing 36% of service revenue, for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 compared to $130.4 million, representing 33% of service revenue, for the six months endedJune 30, 2017 (decreased to $63.3 million, representing 37% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $65.9 million, representing 33% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2017). Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue increased primarily due to service revenue mix from fewer lower margin property preservation referrals related to the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio, as discussed above. Our margins can vary substantially depending upon service revenue mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses consisted of the following:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)		2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)

Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	20,604	$	29,805	(31	)	$	43,978	$	58,487	(25	)

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $44.0 million decreased by 25% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($20.6 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 31% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in SG&A were primarily due to lower amortization of intangible assets, driven by lower revenue generated by the Homeward and ResCap portfolios (revenue-based amortization), consistent with the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio discussed in the revenue section above. Compensation and benefits decreased due to lower cost allocations driven by declining revenues, as discussed in the revenue section above, and the implementation of efficiency initiatives. In addition, lower occupancy costs were driven by initiatives to reduce our facilities footprint. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, legal costs in professional services decreased in connection with the resolution of, and reduction in activities related to, litigation and regulatory matters.

Income from Operations

Income from operations increased to $75.6 million, representing 23% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $72.0 million, representing 18% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (increased to $42.7 million, representing 25% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2018, compared to $36.1 million, representing 18% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2017). The increases in operating income as a percentage of service revenue were primarily the result of higher gross profit margins and lower SG&A, as discussed above.

We recognized service revenue of $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 12% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($23.7 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 3% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in service revenue were primarily driven by a decline in revenues in the Real Estate Investor Solutions business from RESI’s smaller portfolio of non-performing loans and REO, as RESI continues to sell off this portfolio and instead focuses on directly acquiring, renovating and managing rental homes. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the buy-renovate-lease-sell business in Real Estate Investor Solutions, particularly in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, due to a higher number of homes sold and growth in the renovation management business in Real Estate Investor Solutions. Additionally, the net decreases in Real Estate Investor Solutions were partially offset by increases in the Consumer Real Estate Solutions business from higher transaction volumes and unit revenue in 2018.

Certain of our Real Estate Market businesses are impacted by seasonality. Revenues from property sales 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 and Gross Loss

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $46.7 million decreased by 5% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($28.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 5% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decrease in cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily driven by lower compensation and benefits, which declined in certain of the Real Estate Investor Solutions businesses as we reduced headcount in anticipation of the decreases in revenue volumes from RESI’s portfolio discussed in the revenue section above, and a decrease in technology and telecommunications expense due to the reduction in headcount and transaction volumes. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in the

41

cost of real estate sold, particularly in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017, in connection with our buy-renovate-lease-sell program in the Real Estate Investor Solutions business, due to higher transaction volumes.

Gross loss increased to $(7.3) million, representing (19)% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $(3.8) million, representing (9)% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (loss of $(4.0) million, representing (17)% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2018, compared to a loss of $(1.7) million, representing (7)% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2017). Gross loss as a percent of service revenue increased primarily as a result of service revenue mix from fewer higher margin REO sales and higher revenues in the lower margin buy-renovate-lease-sell program. Our margins can vary substantially depending upon service revenue mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses consisted of the following:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $9.3 million decreased by 6% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($5.2 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 7% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decreases in SG&A were primarily driven by lower facility costs from initiatives to reduce our facilities footprint, partially offset by higher marketing costs in Consumer Real Estate Solutions to support our anticipated growth of this business.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations increased to $(16.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a loss from operations of $(13.7) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (loss from operations of $(9.2) million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to loss from operations of $(7.3) million for the second quarter of 2017). The increases in loss from operations was primarily the result of lower gross profit margins, partially offset by lower SG&A, as discussed above.

We recognized service revenue of $30.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a 2% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($15.7 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 3% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017). The decrease in service revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to a decline in customer relationship management services from lower transaction volumes from a customer that expanded its vendor network and a decline in IT infrastructure services (typically billed on a cost plus basis), which was driven by the continuing transition of resources supporting Ocwen’s technology infrastructure from Altisource to Ocwen. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in asset recovery management service revenue from growth in collection referral volumes. For the second quarter of 2018, the increase in service revenue was due to an increase in asset recovery management services, partially offset by decreases in customer relationship management services and IT infrastructure services, as discussed above.

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 (Loss)

Cost of revenue consisted of the following:

Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $37.3 million increased by 25% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($19.7 million for the second quarter of 2018, a 38% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017). The increases in cost of revenue were primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits and technology and telecommunications costs, driven by the redeployment of certain technology resources from the Mortgage Market segment to Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations for the development of enterprise-wide technology initiatives.

Gross profit (loss) decreased to a gross loss of $(6.7) million, representing (22)% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a gross profit of $1.2 million, representing 4% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (decreased to a gross loss of $(3.9) million, representing (25)% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2018, compared to gross profit of $1.1 million, representing 7% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2017). Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue decreased due to the increase in cost of revenue, due to the redeployment of certain technology resources from the Mortgage Market segment to Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations for the development of enterprise-wide technology initiatives, as described above.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A in Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations include SG&A of the customer relationship management, asset recovery management and IT infrastructure services businesses. It also includes costs related to corporate support functions not allocated to the Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market segments.

Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations also include eliminations of transactions between the reportable segments.

SG&A consisted of the following:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)		2018		2017		% Increase (decrease)

Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	17,140	$	17,114	—		$	32,772	$	31,808	3

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $32.8 million increased by 3% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($17.1 million for the second quarter of 2018, which is consistent with the second quarter of 2017). The increase in SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily driven by an increase in professional services, due to increased legal costs in connection with certain legal and regulatory matters, and an increase in compensation and benefits from higher share-based compensation. The higher SG&A for the second quarter of 2018 was from higher professional services due to legal costs in connection with certain legal and regulatory matters and higher occupancy related costs in connection with the redeployment of certain technology resources from the Mortgage Market segment to Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations for the development of enterprise-wide technology initiatives, offset by the decrease in other from unfavorable loss accrual adjustments of $2.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2017 (no comparative amounts in 2018).

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations increased to $(39.5) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a loss of $(30.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($(21.1) million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to a loss of $(16.0) million for the second quarter of 2017). The increase in operating losses were primarily driven by the decrease in gross profit, as discussed above.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net principally includes interest expense and other non-operating gains and losses. Effective January 1, 2018, other income (expense), net includes unrealized gains and (losses) on our investment in RESI (see Factors Affecting Comparability above).

Other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $(21.5) million compares to $(5.9) million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($(9.4) million for the second quarter of 2018 and $(0.8) million for the second quarter of 2017). The increase in other expenses, net for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to an unrealized loss of $6.0 million on our investment in RESI in 2018, the $4.4 million loss on debt refinancing during the second quarter of 2018 and higher interest expense for the second quarter of 2018 from a higher interest rate on the Credit Agreement compared to the prior senior secured term loan. In addition, we recorded a net gain of $3.9 million on the early extinguishment of debt in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in other expenses, net for the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to the loss on debt refinancing, higher interest expense and the net gain on the early extinguishment of debt, as discussed above, partially offset by an unrealized gain of $1.5 million on our investment in RESI for the second quarter of 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow 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 use cash for scheduled repayments of our long-term debt and seek to use cash from time to time to repurchase shares of our common stock and repurchase portions of our debt. In addition, we consider and evaluate business acquisitions that may arise from time to time that are aligned with our strategy.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we used net proceeds from the Term B Loans and operating cash to repay the prior senior secured term loan and repaid $13.9 million of borrowings ($12.5 million for the second quarter of 2018). In addition, we used $21.1 million to repurchase shares of our common stock ($11.1 million for the second quarter of 2018).

Credit Agreement

On April 3, 2018, Altisource entered into the Credit Agreement pursuant to which Altisource borrowed $412.0 million in the form of Term B Loans and obtained a $15.0 million revolving credit facility. The Term B Loans mature in April 2024 and the revolving credit facility matures in April 2023.

Proceeds from the Term B Loans were used to repay the Company’s prior senior secured term loan, which had an outstanding balance of $412.1 million as of April 3, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, $403.8 million of the Term B Loans were outstanding and $413.6 million was outstanding under the prior senior secured term loan as of December 31, 2017. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2018.

The Term B Loans must be repaid in consecutive quarterly principal installments with $24.7 million due in 2018, $41.2 million due in 2019, $25.7 million due in 2020 and $12.4 million due annually thereafter, with the balance due at maturity. All amounts outstanding under the Term B Loans will become due on the earlier of (i) April 3, 2024, and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the Credit Agreement) or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default.

In addition to the scheduled principal payments, subject to certain exceptions, the Term B Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, 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 Credit Agreement (the percentage increases if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00). Certain mandatory prepayments reduce future contractual amortization payments by an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment. No mandatory prepayments were owed for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The interest rate on the Term B Loans as of June 30, 2018 was 6.33%.

Altisource may incur incremental indebtedness under the Credit Agreement from one or more incremental lenders, which may include existing lenders, in an aggregate incremental principal amount not to exceed $125.0 million, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including a sublimit of $80.0 million with respect to incremental revolving credit commitments. The lenders have no obligation to provide any incremental indebtedness.

The Credit Agreement includes covenants that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to incur additional debt, pay dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock. In the event we require additional liquidity, our ability to obtain it may be limited by the Credit Agreement.

Cash Flows

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

(in thousands)	2018			2017			% Increase (decrease)
Net (loss) income adjusted for non-cash items	$	46,413		$	58,530		(21	)
Changes in operating assets and liabilities	(23,160		)	(46,013		)	50
Cash flows provided by operating activities	23,253			12,517			86
Cash flows used in investing activities	(2,756		)	(5,658		)	51
Cash flows used in financing activities	(38,988		)	(41,677		)	6
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	(18,491		)	(34,818		)	47
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the beginning of the period	108,843			153,421			(29	)
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the period	$	90,352		$	118,603		(24	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities generally consist of the cash effects of transactions and events that enter into the determination of net income. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash flows provided by operating activities were $23.3 million, or approximately $0.06 for every dollar of service revenue ($0.15 for every dollar of service revenue for the second quarter of 2018), compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $12.5 million, or approximately $0.03 for every dollar of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 ($0.13 for every dollar of service revenue for the second quarter of 2017). The improvement in cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities, principally driven by the $28.0 million net payment in the prior year period of an accrued litigation settlement. This improvement was partially offset by lower net income, adjusted for non-cash items, of $12.1 million, a decrease of 21% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017.

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 typically 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 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 consisted of cash used for additions to premises and equipment of $2.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, primarily related to investments in the development of certain software applications, IT infrastructure and facility improvements.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 primarily consisted of cash flows associated with debt issuances, repayments, repurchases and debt issuance costs. In addition, financing activities include the purchase of treasury shares, proceeds from stock option exercises, distributions to non-controlling interests and the payment of tax withholdings on issuance of restricted shares and stock option exercises. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we used net cash of $19.0 million to refinance and reduce our debt from the issuance of long-term debt, the costs to issue long-term debt, and prepayments and repurchases of long-term debt, compared to $24.8 million of repurchases and repayments of long-term debt for the six months ended June 30, 2017. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we used $21.1 million and $15.5 million, respectively, to repurchase our common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we received proceeds from stock option exercises of $2.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and distributed $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively, to non-controlling interests. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we made payments of $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations on the issuance of restricted shares and stock option exercises. These payments were made to tax authorities, at the employees’ direction, to satisfy the employees’ tax obligations rather than issuing a portion of vested restricted shares to employees.

44

Liquidity Requirements after June 30, 2018

Our primary future liquidity obligations pertain to long-term debt repayments and interest expense under the Credit Agreement (see Liquidity section above) and distributions to Lenders One members. During the next 12 months, we expect to make mandatory repayments of $41.2 million and pay $24.7 million of interest expense (assuming the current interest rate) under the Credit Agreement and distribute approximately $2.6 million to the Lenders One members representing non-controlling interests.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balances, our anticipated cash flows from operations and availability under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including to fund required debt and interest payments and additions to premises and equipment, for the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations, Commitmentsand Contingencies

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations from those identified in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, other than those that occur in the normal course of business. See Note 19 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.

See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company’s critical accounting policy for revenue recognition. Our other critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018. With the exception of the changes to our revenue recognition policy referenced above, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Recently Adopted and Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, including pronouncements that were adopted in the current period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market Risk

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

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2018, the interest rate charged on the new Term B Loan was 6.33%. The interest rate was calculated based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with a minimum floor of 1.00% plus 4.00%.

Based on the principal amount outstanding at June 30, 2018, a one percentage point increase or decrease in the Eurodollar Rate would have increased or decreased our annual interest expense by approximately $4.0 million, based on the June 30, 2018 Adjusted 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 second quarter of 2018, a one percentage point increase or decrease in value of the Indian rupee in relation to the United States dollar would increase or decrease our annual expenses by approximately $0.9 million.

45

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 June 30, 2018, 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 June 30, 2018.

b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

46

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We record a liability for contingencies if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where the reasonable estimate of loss is a range, we record a best estimate of loss within the range.

Litigation

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

Regulatory Matters

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

As previously disclosed, the Company received a Notice and Opportunity to Respond and Advise (“NORA”) letter on November 10, 2016 from the CFPB indicating that the CFPB was considering a potential enforcement action against Altisource relating to an alleged violation of federal law focused on REALServicing and certain other technology services provided to Ocwen, including claims related to the features, functioning and support of such technology. The NORA process provides the recipient an opportunity to present its positions to the CFPB before an enforcement action is recommended or commenced. On December 5, 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. By letter dated April 3, 2018, the CFPB informed the Company that the investigation of the Company has been completed and the staff of the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement currently does not intend to recommend that the CFPB take enforcement action, and further that the Company is relieved of the document-retention obligations pursuant to the civil investigative process.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018, except as follows:

Under certain material agreements that we are currently a party to or may enter into in the future, the formation by shareholders of Altisource of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) with ownership of Altisource capital stock exceeding a defined percentage may give rise to a termination event or an event of default, which could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s future revenue, results of operations and financial position.

Under certain of the Company’s material agreements, such as its senior secured term loan agreement, a change of control would be deemed to occur if, among other things, a “group” (as that term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is formed by shareholders holding beneficial ownership of a defined percentage of the combined voting power and/or economic interest of the Company’s capital stock. The Company’s Brokerage Agreement (as amended) with NRZ’s licensed brokerage subsidiary contains a similar provision, and the Company may enter into material agreements in the future that contain similar provisions. The formation of a “group” could occur without the involvement of or input by the Company, and such a change of control could constitute a termination event or an event of default under these agreements. If any of these agreements were terminated, or if the event of default is not waived, this could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future revenue, results of operations and financial position.

EX-10.1

Exhibit 10.1

NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of February 12, 2018 (the “Grant Date”), between Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., a Luxembourg société anonyme (“Altisource” and, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”), and [ ],an employee of the Company (the “Employee”).

WHEREAS, the Company desires, by affording the Employee an opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Shares”), to further the objectives of the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:

1. OPTION GRANT

The Company hereby grants to the Employee, pursuant to and subject to the 2009 Plan, the right and option to purchase from the Company a number of Shares equal to the Target Amount (as defined in Exhibit A) for a purchase price of $24.82 per share (the “Strike Price”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Options”).

2. OPTION TERM

The term of the Options shall begin on the Grant Date and will continue for a period of ten (10) years from the Grant Date, unless earlier terminated pursuant to exercise, in accordance with Section 3 Subsection A(3) or as provided in Section 5 below.

3. VESTING OF OPTIONS

A. Vesting Schedule

Subject to the provisions of Sections 5 and 6 below, the Options shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) Following the conclusion of the 2018 calendar year and prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Altisource shall confirm the extent to which the performance measure described in Exhibit A (the “Performance Measure”) is satisfied. Based upon the achievement against the Performance Measure, a percentage of the Target Amount (between 0% and 200%) shall become vestable Options (the “Stock Option Vestable Portion”) and shall vest in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 Subsection A(2) below.

Page 1 of 15

(2) One-fourth (1/4) of the Stock Option Vestable Portion (if any, as determined pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit A)shall vest on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date.

(3) All Options that do not constitute the Stock Option Vestable Portion shall be forfeited and cancelled immediately upon confirmation by the Board of Directors regarding the extent to which the Performance Measure is satisfied (if at all).

B. General

The Employee shall have none of the rights of a shareholder with respect to any of the Shares subject to the Options until such Shares shall be issued in the Employee’s name or the name of the Employee’s designee following the exercise of the Options.

4. METHOD OF OPTION EXERCISE

A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, vested Options may be exercised by written notice to the Company at its executive offices to the attention of the Corporate Secretary of the Company (the “Notice”). The Notice shall state the election to exercise vested Options, shall state the number of Shares in respect of which it is being exercised (the “Purchased Shares”) and shall be signed by the person or persons so exercising such Options. In no case may vested Options be exercised as to less than fifty (50) Shares at any one time (or the remaining Shares then purchasable under the vested Options, if less than fifty (50) Shares) or for a fractional Share. Except as provided in Section 5 below, vested Options may not be exercised unless the Employee shall, at the time of the exercise, be an employee of the Company and not under a notice of resignation. During the Employee’s lifetime, only the Employee or the Employee’s guardian or legal representative may exercise vested Options (in the case of the Employee’s guardian or legal representative, such guardian or legal representative, as applicable, will be considered to be the Employee for purposes of exercising the Employee’s rights in this Section 4, Subsections A and B).

B. A Notice shall be accompanied by (1) a personal check or wire transfer payable to the order of the Company for payment of the full purchase price of the Purchased Shares, (2) delivery to the Company of the number of Shares duly endorsed for transfer and owned by the Employee that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate purchase price of the Purchased Shares or (3) payment therefor made in such other manner as may be acceptable to the Company on such terms as may be determined by the Board of Directors. “Fair Market Value” shall have the meaning given to that term in the 2009 Plan. In addition to and at the time of payment of the purchase price, the person exercising the vested Options shall pay to the Company the full amount of any federal and state withholding or other taxes applicable to the taxable income of such person resulting from such exercise in cash

Page 2 of 15

unless the Board of Directors in its sole discretion shall permit such taxes to be paid in Shares. Such payment may also be made in the form of payroll withholding, at the election of the Employee, provided that the required payroll withholding occurs within one pay period. The Company shall issue the Purchased Shares as soon as practicable after receipt of the notice and all required payments by the person or persons exercising the Options as provided in Section 4, Subsection A above. Unless the person or persons exercising the Options shall otherwise direct the Company in writing, such Purchased Shares shall be registered in the name of the Employee and shall be delivered as aforesaid to or upon the written order of the Employee.

C. To the extent Options shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, by any person or persons other than the Employee, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the derivative right of such person or persons to exercise the Options.

D. The date of exercise of an Option shall be the date on which the Notice, the documents and all payments required under this Section 4 are received by or arranged with the Corporate Secretary of the Company. If such Notice is received after the market closes, the following trading day will be considered the date of exercise. All Purchased Shares shall be fully paid and non-assessable.

E. The Company may require the Employee to exercise the Options electronically through the Solium Shareworks system or any other online system pursuant to the procedures set forth therein as determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

F. The Company may amend the procedures set forth in this Section 4, Subsections A through E in its sole discretion.

5. TERMINATION OF OPTIONS

The Options may not be exercised to any extent after termination of the Options. Options will terminate as set forth below in this Section 5:

A. The Options shall terminate upon the exercise of such Options in the manner provided in this Agreement and the 2009 Plan, whether or not the Purchased Shares are ultimately delivered.

B. Except as may otherwise be provided in Section 3 Subsection A(3) and this Section 5, Subsections A and C for the earlier termination of the Options, the Options and all rights and obligations thereunder shall expire ten (10) years after the Grant Date.

C. If, prior to exercise, expiration, forfeiture, surrender or cancellation of the Options, the Employee’s employment terminates, the Options shall terminate in accordance with the 2009 Plan except as follows:

Page 3 of 15

(1) by reason of termination of employment by the Company for Cause, then all Options shall terminate on the date of termination of employment.

(2) by reason of termination of employment by the Employee (other than by reason of retirement), then all unvested Options shall terminate on the date Employee provides notice of his or her resignation and all vested Options shall terminate on the date that is six (6) months after the date of termination of employment.

(3) by reason of termination of employment by the Company without Cause then:

(a) if the date of such termination occurs after September 30, 2018 but before the Stock Option Vestable Portion has been determined, the Options shall remain outstanding and the Stock Option Vestable Portion (if any) shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit A, after which the Stock Option Vestable Portion, if any, shall vest and shall become immediately exercisable in full on the date of such determination and shall be exercisable for a period of six (6) months following such vesting date; provided however that if Employee has been employed with the Company for less than two (2) years at the time of termination, then any unvested Options that are determined to be eligible to vest within twelve (12) months of such termination shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 Subsection A(2), and shall be exercisable within six (6) months of such vesting date, and the remainder of the Options shall be forfeited by the Employee as of the date the Stock Option Vestable Portion has been determined. For the avoidance of doubt, all Options other than the Stock Option Vestable Portion shall be forfeited and cancelled immediately on the date of confirmation by the Board of Directors regarding the extent to which the Performance Measure is satisfied. For the further avoidance of doubt, no Options shall vest pursuant to this Section 5 Subsection C(3)(a) prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date.

(b) if the date of such termination occurs after September 30, 2018 and after the determination of the Stock Option Vestable Portion, the Stock Option Vestable Portion, if any, shall vest and shall become immediately exercisable in full on the date of such termination and shall be exercisable for a period of six (6) months following such termination date; provided however that if Employee has been employed with the Company for less than two (2) years, then any unvested Options that are scheduled to vest within twelve (12) months of such termination of employment shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Section 3 Subsection A(2), and shall be

Page 4 of 15

exercisable within six (6) months of such vesting date, and the remainder of the Options shall be forfeited by the Employee as of the date the Stock Option Vestable Portion has been determined. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will have the right in its sole discretion to require the Employee to exercise all or part of any Options retained pursuant to this paragraph at any time. For the avoidance of doubt, all Options other than the Stock Option Vestable Portion shall be forfeited and cancelled immediately on the date of confirmation by the Board of Directors regarding the extent to which the Performance Measure is satisfied. For the further avoidance of doubt, no Options shall vest pursuant to this Section 5 Subsection C(3)(b) prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date.

Further, the Board of Directors shall have the right to adjust the Performance Measure and defined levels of achievement as appropriate to avoid inequitable dilution or enlargement of award values or rights in connection with such a corporate transaction or restructuring.

In the event of any such option adjustment and/or conversion, the Board of Directors shall attempt to reasonably approximate the aggregate value of the Employee’s Options under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Employee remains employed with the separate company that results from a restructuring or transaction covered by this Section 7, for purposes of this Agreement, the Employee will be deemed to remain employed as if the Employee continued employment with the Company such that the employment termination provisions applicable to the Options shall not be invoked unless and until the Employee’s employment with such separate company shall terminate.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such discretions shall include the authority to replace Options with any one or more of the following: (a) adjusted options of the Company; (b) adjusted options on the equity of any Successor Entity surviving such Change of Control/Restructuring event; and (c) a combination of adjusted options on the shares of both the Company and the Successor Entity, all as the Board of Directors sees as equitable. In the event of any option adjustment and/or conversion referred to in this Section 7, Subsection B(2), the Board of Directors shall attempt to reasonably approximate the aggregate value of the Employee’s Options under this Agreement.

(3) Notwithstanding any provision of Section 7 Subsection B(1) and B(2) to the contrary, in the eventa Change of Control/Restructuring Event occurs, if the Options are not assumed or replaced by the acquiror/continuing entity on terms deemed by the Board of Directors to be appropriate, then the Board of Directorsshall have the right to (i)provide for accelerated vesting and settlement of the Options immediately prior to, and conditioned on consummation, of the Change of Control/Restructuring Event or (ii) to the extent theSuccessor Entityallows the Options to stay in place,to make appropriate adjustments to avoid an expansion or reduction in the value of the award.

C. Other Events

(1) The 2009 Plan and Agreement and the Options granted hereunder shall not affect the right of the Company to reclassify, recapitalize, issue equity or otherwise change its capital or debt structure or to merge, consolidate, convey any or all of its assets, dissolve, liquidate, wind up or otherwise reorganize. The Board of Directors shall have the discretion to make adjustments to the Options made hereunder (including, without limitation, to the Performance Measure and defined levels of achievement) to reflect any changes that the Board of Directors deems appropriate as a result of any sale, an IPO, business combination, acquisition, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, reorganization, stock dividend, stock split, spin off of one or more divisions or subsidiaries, a “going private” transaction (which shall mean any transaction that results in the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) Altisource’s common stock is no longer listed on any national securities exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market or other securities quotation system; (b) Altisource is no longer subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or (c) Altisource becomes subject to Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act) or similar transaction affecting the Options. Upon the occurrence of any such events, the Board of Directors may make appropriate adjustments to the Options made hereunder (including, without limitation to the

Page 9 of 15

Performance Measure and defined levels of achievement) to avoid inequitable dilution or enlargement of award values or rights in connection with any such event (as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion based on any facts and circumstances it considers relevant). For the avoidance of doubt, the Options are subject to the dilutive impact of equity issuances (including an IPO) or other costs of capital made in connection with acquisitions or capital raises.

(2) The Board of Directors may also specify any inclusion(s) or exclusion(s) for charges related to any event(s) or occurrence(s) which the Board of Directors determines should be included or excluded, as appropriate, for purposes of measuring performance against the applicable Performance Measure and the calculation methodology for such Performance Measure, which may include, but is not limited to, acquisitions and dispositions, market changes, reserve adjustments for litigation or regulatory/enforcement matters, litigation or claim judgments or settlements. If the Board of Directors determines that a change in the business, operations, corporate structure or capital structure of the Company, or the manner in which it conducts its business, or other events or circumstances, renders the previously established Performance Measure and defined levels of achievement unsuitable, the Board of Directors may also, in its discretion, modify such levels of achievement, in whole or in part, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

The Employee will have a vesting opportunity of up to two hundred percent (200%) of the Target Amount ([ ] Options) pursuant to the provisions of this Exhibit A and the terms of the Agreement.

The Performance Measure to be satisfied for purposes of Section 3 Subsection A of the Agreement is adjusted diluted earnings per share (a non-GAAP measure) (“Adjusted EPS”) achieved for 2018. Adjusted EPS will be calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company before intangible asset amortization expense (net of tax), stock based compensation (net of tax), any gain (loss) on investment in equity securities (net of tax) and loss on debt refinancing by the weighted average number of diluted shares. Adjusted EPS will also be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7 of the Agreement.

The percentage of the Target Amount that will be eligible to vest will be determined based on 2018Adjusted EPSin accordance with the below table. If 2018Adjusted EPSfalls between the pre-determined levels shown in the table, the percentage of the Target Amount that will form part of theStock Option Vestable Portionshall be determinedusing linear interpolation between such pre-determined levels. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall theStock OptionVestable Portion exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the Target Amount.

The number of Options that form part of the Stock Option Vestable Portion (i.e., the number of Options eligible to vest) will then be determined by multiplying the applicable percentage by the Target Amount.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of Business

Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., together with its subsidiaries (which may be referred to as “Altisource,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is an integrated service provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries. Combining operational excellence with a suite of innovative services and technologies, Altisource helps solve the demands of the ever-changing markets we serve.

We are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ASPS.” We are organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

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

Altisource consolidates Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc., which is managed by The Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource. Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc. is a mortgage cooperative doing business as Lenders One^® (“Lenders One”). MPA provides services to Lenders One under a management agreement that ends on December 31, 2025 (with renewals for three successive five-year periods at MPA’s option).

The management agreement between MPA and Lenders One, pursuant to which MPA is the management company, represents a variable interest in a variable interest entity. MPA is the primary beneficiary of Lenders One as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the cooperative’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the cooperative. As a result, Lenders One is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis and the interests of the members are reflected as non-controlling interests. As of June 30, 2018, Lenders One had total assets of $4.8 million and total liabilities of $3.1 million. As of December 31, 2017, Lenders One had total assets of $4.6 million and total liabilities of $3.1 million.

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, 2017, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018.

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and during 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance providing clarifications and corrections, including: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, andASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (collectively “Topic 606”). Topic 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most prior revenue recognition guidance. This new standard requires that an entity recognize revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive and consistent with the delivery of the performance obligation described in the underlying contract with the customer.

The Company adopted Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect method. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized an $11.2 million increase in deferred revenue, a $1.1 million increase in unbilled accounts receivable, a $0.3 million increase in other current liabilities and a $10.4 million decrease in retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Because the Company adopted Topic 606 retrospectively with a cumulative effect as of January 1, 2018, the comparative results as of December 31, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 have not been restated and continue to be reported under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. The details of the significant changes and quantitative impact of the adoption of Topic 606 are described below. Also see Note 14 for additional information on revenue, including disaggregation of revenue and contract balances.

As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, the Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition is as follows:

We recognize revenue from the services we provide in accordance with the 5-step process outlined in Topic 606. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive. This revenue can be recognized at a point in time or over time. We invoice customers based on our contractual arrangements with each customer, which may not be consistent with the period that revenues are recognized. When there is a timing difference between when we invoice customers and when revenues are recognized, we record either a contract asset (unbilled accounts receivable) or a contract liability (deferred revenue or other current liabilities), as appropriate. A description of our principal revenue generating activities by reportable segment are as follows:

Mortgage Market

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided.

• For loan servicing technologies, we recognize revenue based on the number of loans on the system, on a per-transaction basis or over the estimated average number of months the loans and real estate owned (“REO”) are on the platform, as applicable. We generally recognize revenue for professional services relating to loan servicing technologies over the contract period. For our loan origination system, we generally recognize revenue over the contract term, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. For foreclosure trustee services, we recognize revenue over the period during which we perform the related services, with full recognition upon completion and/or recording the related foreclosure deed. For loan disbursement processing services, we recognize revenue over the period during which we perform the processing services with full recognition upon completion of the disbursements. We use judgment to determine the period over which we recognize revenue for certain of these services. For mortgage charge-off collections performed on behalf of our clients, we recognize revenue as a percentage of amounts collected following collection from the borrowers.

• For real estate brokerage and auction services, we recognize revenue on a net basis as we perform services as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the commission earned on the sale is a fixed percentage or amount.

• Reimbursable expenses revenue, primarily related to our property preservation and inspection services, real estate sales and our foreclosure trustee services businesses, is included in revenue with an equal amount recognized in cost of revenue. These amounts are recognized on a gross basis, principally because generally we have control over selection of vendors and the vendor relationship is with us, rather than with our customers.

Real Estate Market

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided.

• For our renovation services, revenue is recognized over the period of the construction activity, based on the estimated percentage of completion of the projects. We use judgment to determine the period over which we recognize revenue for certain of these services. For real estate brokerage and auction services, we recognize revenue on a net basis as we perform services as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the commission earned on the sale is a fixed percentage or amount. For the buy-renovate-lease-sell business, we recognize revenue associated with our sales of short-term investments in real estate on a gross basis as we assume the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

• Reimbursable expenses revenue, primarily related to our real estate sales business, is included in revenue with an equal offsetting expense recognized in cost of revenue. These amounts are recognized on a gross basis, principally because generally we have control over selection of vendors and the vendor relationship is with us, rather than with our customers.

Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided. We generally earn fees for our post-charge-off consumer debt collection services as a percentage of the amount we collect on delinquent consumer receivables and recognize revenue following collection from the borrowers. We provide customer relationship management services for which we typically earn and recognize revenue on a per-person, per-call or per-minute basis as the related services are performed.

• For the information technology (“IT”) infrastructure services we provide to Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”), Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) and Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”), we recognize revenue primarily based on the number of users of the applicable systems, fixed fees and the number and type of licensed platforms. We recognize revenue associated with implementation services upon completion and maintenance services ratably over the related service period.

The adoption of Topic 606 did not have any impact on net cash flows used in operating, financing or investing activities on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Financial Instruments

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 requires 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings and decrease accumulated other comprehensive income by $0.7 million on January 1, 2018. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s investment in RESI subsequent to January 1, 2018, as well as any equity investments acquired in the future, will be reflected as a component of net income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Other Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated 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 requires that companies recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset (other than inventory) when the transfer occurs. Previous guidance prohibited 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s 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 requires 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and was adopted using the retrospective transition method, as required by the standard. The adoption of this standard resulted in the classification of the Company’s restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result, the Company included $5.8 million, $3.8 million, $4.4 million and $4.1 million of restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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 Topic 606. This standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This standard provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require the application of modification accounting. This standard requires companies to continue to apply modification accounting, unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of an award all do not change as a result of the modification. This standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

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. This 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 arrangements where the Company is a lessee, we estimate that the new standard, if implemented as of June 30, 2018, would result in approximately $17.6 million right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. 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 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 August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this standard better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedging results. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application 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.

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 51% of our total revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 (50% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2018). Ocwen is a residential mortgage loan servicer of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) it owns, including those MSRs in which others have an economic interest, and a subservicer of MSRs owned by others. Ocwen purchases certain mortgage services and technology services from us under the terms of master services agreements and amendments thereto (collectively, the “Ocwen Services Agreements”) with terms extending through August 2025. Certain of the Ocwen Service Agreements contain a “most favored nation” provision and also grant the parties the right to renegotiate pricing, among other things. 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 loan portfolios acquired by Ocwen in December 2012 and February 2013, respectively. Ocwen also purchases certain origination services from Altisource under an agreement that continues until January 2019, but which is subject to a 90 day termination right by Ocwen.

Revenue from Ocwen primarily consists of revenue earned from the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen when Ocwen designates us as the service provider and revenue earned directly from Ocwen. For the six months endedJune 30, 2018 and 2017, we generated revenue from Ocwen of $210.8 million and $285.6 million, respectively ($108.8 million and $144.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively). Revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of segment and consolidated revenue was as follows:

	Three months ended  June 30,				Six months ended  June 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Mortgage Market	60	%	68	%	60	%	68	%
Real Estate Market	1	%	1	%	1	%	1	%
Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations	9	%	11	%	9	%	13	%
Consolidated revenue	50	%	58	%	51	%	58	%

We earn additional revenue related to the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selects Altisource as the service provider. For the six months endedJune 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized revenue of $26.2 million and $82.9 million, respectively ($11.0 million and $41.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively), related to the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selected Altisource as the service provider. These amounts are not included in deriving revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of revenue in the table above.

As of June 30, 2018, accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled $16.5 million, $12.2 million of which was billed and $4.3 million of which was unbilled. As of December 31, 2017, accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled $18.9 million, $13.6 million of which was billed and $5.3 million of which was unbilled.

As of March 31, 2018, New Residential Investment Corp. (individually, together with one or more of its subsidiaries or one or more of its subsidiaries individually, “NRZ”) owned Ocwen-serviced MSRs and rights to MSRs (the “Subject MSRs”) with underlying unpaid principal balances (“UPB”) of $98.3 billion. As of March 31, 2018, Ocwen serviced and subserviced MSRs with underlying UPB of $173.4 billion. As previously disclosed, in July 2017, Ocwen and NRZ entered into agreements to convert NRZ’s economic rights to the Subject MSRs into fully-owned MSRs in exchange for payments from NRZ to Ocwen when such Subject MSRs were transferred. The transfers are subject to certain third party consents. Ocwen disclosed that under these agreements, Ocwen would subservice the transferred Subject MSRs for an initial term of five years, and the agreements provided for the conversion of the existing arrangements into a more traditional subservicing arrangement.

In January 2018, Ocwen disclosed that it and NRZ entered into new agreements to accelerate the implementation of certain parts of their July 2017 arrangement in order to achieve the intent of the July 2017 agreements sooner while Ocwen continues the process of obtaining the third party consents necessary to transfer the Subject MSRs to NRZ.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource, through its licensed subsidiaries, entered into a Cooperative Brokerage Agreement, as amended, and related letter agreement (collectively, the “Brokerage Agreement”) with NRZ which extends through August 2025. Under this agreement and related amendments, Altisource remains the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs when Ocwen transfers such MSRs to NRZ or when NRZ acquires both an additional economic interest in such Subject MSRs and the right to designate the broker for REO properties in such portfolios. The Brokerage Agreement provides that Altisource is the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs, irrespective of the sub-servicer. NRZ’s brokerage subsidiary receives a cooperative brokerage commission on the sale of certain REO properties from these portfolios subject to certain exceptions.

For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, we earned revenue from NRZ of $8.9 million and $19.2 million, respectively, following the transfer of certain of the Subject MSRs from Ocwen to NRZ (the “Transferred MSRs”) (no comparative amounts in 2017). For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, we earned additional revenue of $26.7 million and $42.8 million relating to the Transferred MSRs when a party other than NRZ selects Altisource as the service provider (no comparative amounts in 2017).

On August 28, 2017, Altisource and NRZ also entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent, as amended, to enter into a Services Agreement (the “Services LOI”), setting forth the terms pursuant to which Altisource would remain the exclusive service provider of fee-based services for the Subject MSRs through August 2025. The Services LOI was amended to continue through August 31, 2018.

The Brokerage Agreement can be terminated by Altisource if the Services Agreement is not signed by Altisource and NRZ during the term of the Services LOI, as extended. The Brokerage Agreement may otherwise only be terminated upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Termination events include, but are not limited to, a breach of the terms of the Brokerage Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to meet performance standards and non-compliance with law in a material respect), the failure to maintain licenses which failure materially prevents performance of the contract, regulatory allegations of non-compliance resulting in an adversarial proceeding against NRZ, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, disclosure in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q that there is significant uncertainty about Altisource’s ability to continue as a going concern, failure to maintain a specified level of cash and an unapproved change of control.

We anticipate that revenue from NRZ will increase over time and revenue from Ocwen will decrease. As Subject MSRs continue to transfer from Ocwen to NRZ and following the anticipated execution of the Services Agreement, we expect that NRZ will become our largest customer. Had all of the Subject MSRs been transferred to NRZ and the Brokerage Agreement and the Services Agreement with NRZ been in place as of January 1, 2018, we estimate that approximately 48% of our revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 would have been related to NRZ. There can be no assurance that the parties will reach an agreement with respect to the terms of the Services Agreement or that a Services Agreement will be entered into on a timely basis or at all.

INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES

INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES

During 2016, we purchased 4.1 million shares of RESI common stock for $48.2 million. This investment is reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at a fair value of $43.2 million as of June 30, 2018 and $49.2 million as of December 31, 2017. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized an unrealized gain (loss) of $1.5 million and $(6.0) million, respectively, on our investment in RESI in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as a result of a change in the market value of RESI common shares. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, an unrealized gain (loss) on our investment in RESI of $(7.0) million and $5.7 million, respectively, net of income tax expense (benefit), was reflected in other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (see Note 1 for additional information on the adoption of the new accounting standard on investments in equity securities). During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we earned dividends of $1.2 million in each period related to this investment ($0.6 million in both the second quarter of 2018 and 2017).

On April 3, 2018, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Altisource S.à r.l. entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and certain lenders. Under the Credit Agreement, Altisource borrowed $412.0 million in the form of Term B Loans and obtained a $15.0 million revolving credit facility. The Term B Loans mature in April 2024 and the revolving credit facility matures in April 2023. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain subsidiaries are guarantors of the term loan and the revolving credit facility (collectively, the “Guarantors”).

Proceeds from the Term B Loans were used to repay the Company’s prior senior secured term loan, which had an outstanding balance of $412.1 million as of April 3, 2018. In connection with the refinancing, we recognized a loss of $4.4 million from the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount in the second quarter of 2018. This loss was included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The Term B Loans must be repaid in consecutive quarterly principal installments with $24.7 million due in 2018, $41.2 million due in 2019, $25.7 million due in 2020 and $12.4 million due annually thereafter, with the balance due at maturity. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repaid $8.2 million of the Term B Loans. All amounts outstanding under the Term B Loans will become due on the earlier of (i) April 3, 2024, and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the Credit Agreement) or as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default.

In addition to the scheduled principal payments, subject to certain exceptions, the Term B Loans are subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, 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 Credit Agreement (the percentage increases if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00). Certain mandatory prepayments reduce future contractual amortization payments by an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment. No mandatory prepayments were owed for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Altisource may incur incremental indebtedness under the Credit Agreement from one or more incremental lenders, which may include existing lenders, in an aggregate incremental principal amount not to exceed $125.0 million, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, including a sublimit of $80.0 million with respect to incremental revolving credit commitments. The lenders have no obligation to provide any incremental indebtedness.

The Term B Loans bear interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a three month interest period and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) 4.00%. Base Rate term loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Base Rate and (y) 2.00% plus (ii) 3.00%. The interest rate at June 30, 2018 was 6.33%.

Loans under the revolving credit facility bear interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for a three month interest period plus (ii) 4.00%. Base Rate revolving loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Base Rate plus (ii) 3.00%. The unused commitment fee is 0.50%. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2018.

The payment of all amounts owing by Altisource under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Guarantors and is secured by a pledge of all equity interests of certain subsidiaries of Altisource, as well as a lien on substantially all of the assets of Altisource S.à r.l. and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.

The Credit Agreement includes covenants that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability, subject to certain exceptions and baskets, to incur indebtedness; incur liens on our assets; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; make Restricted Junior Payments including share repurchases, dividends and repayment of junior indebtedness; make investments; dispose of equity interests of any Material Subsidiaries; engage in a line of business substantially different than existing businesses and businesses reasonably related, complimentary or ancillary thereto; amend material debt agreements or other material contracts; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; grant negative pledges or agree to such other restrictions relating to subsidiary dividends and distributions; make changes to our fiscal year; and engage in mergers and consolidations; and to the extent any Revolving Credit Loans are outstanding on the last day of a fiscal quarter, permit the Total Leverage Ratio to be greater than 3.50:1.00 as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, subject to a customary cure provision (the “Revolving Financial Covenant”).

The Credit Agreement contains certain events of default including (i) failure to pay principal when due or interest or any other amount owing on any other obligation under the Credit Agreement within five days of becoming due, (ii) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (iii) breach of certain other covenants, subject to cure periods described in the Credit Agreement, (iv) a breach of the Revolving Financial Covenant, subject to a customary cure provision and not an Event of Default with respect to the Term Loans unless and until the Required Revolving Lenders accelerate the Revolving Credit Loans, (v) failure to pay principal or interest on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million when due, (vi) default on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million that causes, or gives the holder or holders of such debt the ability to cause, an acceleration of such debt, (vii) occurrence of a Change of Control, (viii) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (ix) entry by a court of one or more judgments against us in an amount in excess of $40.0 million that remain unbonded, undischarged or unstayed for a certain number of days after the entry thereof, (x) the occurrence of certain ERISA events and (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 Credit Agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the facility could be terminated.

At June 30, 2018, debt issuance costs were $4.3 million, net of $0.2 million of accumulated amortization. At December 31, 2017, debt issuance costs related to the prior term loans were $3.2 million, net of $7.1 million of accumulated amortization.

In the second quarter of 2017, we repurchased portions of our prior senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $26.0 million at a weighted average discount of 16.5%, recognizing a net gain of $3.9 million on the early extinguishment of debt (no comparative amounts in 2018). The net gain was included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments and certain liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The following fair values are estimated using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP:

	June 30, 2018								December 31, 2017

Liabilities:
Long-term debt	403,760		—		401,067		—		413,581		—		407,377		—

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

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

Investment in equity securities is carried at fair value and consists of 4.1 million shares of RESI common stock. The investment in equity securities is measured using Level 1 inputs as this security has a quoted price in an active market.

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.

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 approximately 50% 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 larger customers, if known.

Share Repurchase Program

On May 15, 2018, our shareholders approved the renewal of the share repurchase program previously approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2017, which replaced the previous share repurchase program. We are authorized to purchase up to 4.3 million shares of our common stock, based on a limit of 25% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval, at a minimum price of $1.00 per share and a maximum price of $500.00 per share, for a period of five years from the date of approval. As of June 30, 2018, approximately 4.2 million shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. We purchased 0.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $27.39 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 0.8 million shares at an average price of $22.15 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2017 (0.4 million shares at an average price of $27.14 per share for the second quarter of 2018 and 0.4 million shares at an average price of $19.17 per share for the second quarter of 2017). Luxembourg law limits share repurchases to the balance of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (unconsolidated parent company) retained earnings, less the value of shares repurchased. As of June 30, 2018, we can repurchase up to approximately $142 million of our common stock under Luxembourg law. The Credit Agreement also limits the amount we can spend on share repurchases, which was approximately $456 million as of June 30, 2018, and may prevent repurchases in certain circumstances.

Share-Based Compensation

We issue share-based awards in the form of stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units for certain employees, officers and directors. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $4.1 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively ($1.9 million and $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively). As of June 30, 2018, estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards amounted to $14.5 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately 2.12 years.

In connection with the January 1, 2017 adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, 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 recognized net of estimated forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 40%. 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.

Stock Options

Stock option grants are composed of a combination of service-based, market-based and performance-based options.

Service-Based Options. These options generally vest over three or four years with equal annual vesting and expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of 575 thousand service-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

Market-Based Options. These option grants generally have two components, each of which vests only upon the achievement of certain criteria. The first component, which we refer to as “ordinary performance” grants, generally consists of two-thirds of the market-based grant and begins to vest if the stock price is at least double the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 20% over the exercise price. The remaining third of the market-based options, which we refer to as “extraordinary performance” grants, generally begins to vest if the stock price is at least triple the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 25% over the exercise price. Market-based 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 equal annual installments. Market-based options generally expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service, unless the performance criteria is met prior to termination of service or in the final three years of the option term, in which case vesting will generally continue in accordance with the provisions of the award agreement. A total of 684 thousand market-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

Performance-Based Options. These option grants generally begin to vest upon the achievement of certain specific financial measures. Generally, the awards begin vesting if the performance criteria are achieved; one-fourth vest on each anniversary of the grant date. For certain other financial measures, awards cliff-vest upon the achievement of the specific performance during the period from 2018 through 2021. The award of performance-based options is adjusted based on the level of achievement specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above threshold performance levels, participants have the opportunity to vest in 50% to 200% of the option grants, depending upon performance achieved. If the performance criteria achieved is below a certain threshold, the award is canceled. The options expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. There were 282 thousand performance-based awards outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

The Company granted 272 thousand stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $25.06 per share) and 129 thousand stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $39.13 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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:

	Six months ended  June 30, 2018		Six months ended  June 30, 2017
	Black-Scholes	Binomial	Black-Scholes	Binomial
Risk-free interest rate (%)	2.66 – 2.98	1.64 – 2.83	2.06 – 2.29	0.77 – 2.38
Expected stock price volatility (%)	70.31 – 71.86	71.81 – 71.86	61.49 – 66.68	66.68
Expected dividend yield	—	—	—	—
Expected option life (in years)	6.00 – 6.25	2.56 – 4.32	6.00 – 7.50	3.53 – 3.85
Fair value	$16.17 – $19.06	$14.67 – $18.28	$23.91 – $24.80	$23.54 – $24.30

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 periods presented:

	Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2018		2017
Weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted per share	$	16.27	$	24.23
Intrinsic value of options exercised	4,393		875
Grant date fair value of stock options that vested	1,334		1,693

The following table summarizes the activity related to our stock options:

	Number of options		Weighted average exercise price		Weighted average contractual term (in years)	Aggregate intrinsic value (in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2017	1,745,906		$	28.20	4.96	$	10,202
Granted	271,876		25.06
Exercised	(295,752	)	9.48
Forfeited	(180,578	)	33.91
Outstanding at June 30, 2018	1,541,452		30.56		5.76	5,235
Exercisable at June 30, 2018	921,627		27.03		3.96	5,132

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company modified the performance thresholds that are required to be met in order for vesting to occur for 263 thousand stock options granted to 16 employees in the first quarter of 2018. The award modification did not change the inputs into the valuation model or the Company’s assessment of the probability of vesting as of the effective date of the modifications. Consequently, no incremental compensation expense was required as a result of this modification.

Other Share-Based Awards

The Company’s other share-based and similar types of awards are composed of restricted shares and, beginning in 2018, restricted share units. The restricted shares and restricted share units are composed of a combination of service-based awards and performance-based awards.

Service-Based Awards. These awards generally vest over one to four years with vesting in equal annual installments, vesting of all of the restricted shares at the end of the vesting period or vesting beginning after two years of service. A total of 475 thousand service-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

Performance-Based Awards. These awards generally begin to vest upon the achievement of certain specific financial measures. Generally, the awards begin vesting if the performance criteria are achieved; one-third vest on each anniversary of the grant date. The number of performance-based restricted shares that may vest will be based on the level of achievement, as specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above threshold performance levels, participants have the opportunity to vest in 80% to 150% of the restricted share award, depending on performance level achieved. If the performance criteria achieved is below a certain threshold, the award is canceled. A total of two thousand performance-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

The Company granted 305 thousand restricted shares and restricted share units (at a weighted average grant date fair value of $25.23 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The following table summarizes the activity related to our restricted shares and restricted share units:

REVENUE

REVENUE

Revenue includes service revenue, reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests. Service revenue consists of amounts attributable to our fee-based services and sales of short-term investments in real estate. Reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests are pass-through items for which we earn no margin. Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts we incur on behalf of our customers in performing our fee-based services that we pass directly on to our customers without a markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings of Lenders One, a consolidated entity that is a mortgage cooperative managed, but not owned, by Altisource. Lenders One is included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource (see Note 1).

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:

	Three months ended  June 30,				Six months ended  June 30,
(in thousands, except per share data)	2018		2017		2018			2017
Net income (loss) attributable to Altisource	$	1,568	$	9,035	$	(2,564	)	$	15,580
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic	17,142		18,335		17,260			18,497
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units	411		501		—			572
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted	17,553		18,836		17,260			19,069
Earnings (loss) per share:
Basic	$	0.09	$	0.49	$	(0.15	)	$	0.84
Diluted	$	0.09	$	0.48	$	(0.15	)	$	0.82

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, 0.3 million options and 0.4 million options, respectively (0.3 million options and 0.4 million options for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively), were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because they were anti-dilutive since their exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common stock. Also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 0.5 million options, restricted shares and restricted share units and 0.3 million options and restricted shares, respectively (0.5 million options, restricted shares and restricted share units and 0.3 million options and restricted shares for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively), which 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. Furthermore, as a result of the net loss attributable to Altisource for the six months ended June 30, 2018, 0.5 million options, restricted shares and restricted share units were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as their impact was anti-dilutive.

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS

We record a liability for contingencies if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where the reasonable estimate of loss is a range, we record a best estimate of loss within the range.

Litigation

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

Regulatory Matters

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

As previously disclosed, the Company 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 was considering a potential enforcement action against Altisource relating to an alleged violation of federal law focused on the REALServicing^® platform and certain other technology services provided to Ocwen, including claims related to the features, functioning and support of such technology. The NORA process provides the recipient an opportunity to present its positions to the CFPB before an enforcement action is recommended or commenced. On December 5, 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. By letter dated April 3, 2018, the CFPB informed the Company that the investigation of the Company has been completed and the staff of the CFPB’s Office of Enforcement currently does not intend to recommend that the CFPB take enforcement action, and further that the Company is relieved of the document-retention obligations pursuant to the civil investigative process.

Ocwen Related Matters

As discussed in Note 2, during the three and six months endedJune 30, 2018, Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 51% of our total revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 (50% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2018). Additionally, 6% of our revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 (5% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2018) was earned on the loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selected Altisource as the service provider.

Ocwen has disclosed that it is subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, cease and desist orders, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demand, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings, some of which include claims against Ocwen for substantial monetary damages. For example, on May 15, 2017, Ocwen disclosed that 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. As another example, on May 15, 2017, Ocwen also disclosed that on April 28, 2017, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts filed a lawsuit against Ocwen in the Superior Court for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts alleging violations of state consumer financial laws relating to Ocwen’s servicing business, including lender-placed insurance and property preservation fees. Ocwen disclosed that the complaints seek to obtain permanent injunctive relief, consumer redress, refunds, restitution, disgorgement, damages, civil penalties, costs and fees and other relief. The forgoing or other matters could result in, and in some cases, have resulted in, adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. Previous regulatory actions against Ocwen resulted in subjecting Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placing certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights.

In addition to the above, Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, cease and desist orders, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information, other matters or legal proceedings, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen.

The foregoing may have significant adverse effects on Ocwen’s business and/or our continuing relationship with Ocwen. For example, Ocwen may be required to alter the way it conducts business, including the parties it contracts with for services (including IT and software services), it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing or origination licenses. Additional regulatory actions or adverse financial developments 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.

If any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue could 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 remaining 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

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

• Altisource otherwise fails to be retained as a service provider

Management cannot predict the outcome of these matters or the amount of any impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these 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 loan portfolios serviced by Ocwen (such as a transfer of Ocwen’s remaining servicing rights to a successor servicer), we believe the impact to Altisource could occur over an extended period of time. During this period, we believe that we will continue to generate revenue from all or a portion of Ocwen’s loan portfolios.

Our Servicer Solutions, Origination Solutions, Consumer Real Estate Solutions and Real Estate Investor Solutions businesses are focused on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base and we have a sales and marketing strategy to support these businesses. 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 has notified us, disclosed in its filings and stated in connection with resolving several state administrative actions discussed above, that it plans to transition from REALServicing to another mortgage servicing software platform. Furthermore, Ocwen disclosed in its filings that its pending acquisition of PHH Corporation is expected to accelerate its transition to a new servicing platform. Altisource is supporting Ocwen through this transition. We do not anticipate that a servicing technology transition would materially impact the other services we provide to Ocwen. For the six months endedJune 30, 2018 and 2017, service revenue from REALServicing was $11.9 million and $13.4 million, respectively ($5.4 million and $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively).

In addition to the above, as of March 31, 2018, NRZ owned the Subject MSRs with underlying UPB of $98.3 billion. As of March 31, 2018, Ocwen serviced and subserviced MSRs with underlying UPB of $173.4 billion. As previously disclosed, in July 2017, Ocwen and NRZ entered into agreements to convert NRZ’s economic rights to the Subject MSRs into fully-owned MSRs in exchange for payments from NRZ to Ocwen when such Subject MSRs were transferred. The transfers are subject to certain third party consents. Ocwen disclosed that under these agreements, Ocwen would subservice the transferred Subject MSRs for an initial term of five years, and the agreements provided for the conversion of the existing arrangements into a more traditional subservicing arrangement.

In January 2018, Ocwen disclosed that it and NRZ entered into new agreements to accelerate the implementation of certain parts of their July 2017 arrangement in order to achieve the intent of the July 2017 agreements sooner while Ocwen continues the process of obtaining the third party consents necessary to transfer the Subject MSRs to NRZ.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource, through its licensed subsidiaries, entered into the Brokerage Agreement with NRZ which extends through August 2025. Under this agreement and related amendments, Altisource remains the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs when Ocwen transfers such MSRs to NRZ or when NRZ acquires both an additional economic interest in such Subject MSRs and the right to designate the broker for REO properties in such portfolios. The Brokerage Agreement provides that Altisource is the exclusive provider of brokerage services for REO associated with the Subject MSRs, irrespective of the sub-servicer. NRZ’s brokerage subsidiary receives a cooperative brokerage commission on the sale of certain REO properties from these portfolios subject to certain exceptions.

On August 28, 2017, Altisource and NRZ also entered into the Services LOI, setting forth the terms pursuant to which Altisource would remain the exclusive service provider of fee-based services for the Subject MSRs through August 2025. The Services LOI was amended to continue through August 31, 2018.

The Brokerage Agreement can be terminated by Altisource if the Services Agreement is not signed by Altisource and NRZ during the term of the Services LOI, as extended. The Brokerage Agreement may otherwise only be terminated upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Termination events include, but are not limited to, a breach of the terms of the Brokerage Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure to meet performance standards and non-compliance with law in a material respect), the failure to maintain licenses which failure materially prevents performance of the contract, regulatory allegations of non-compliance resulting in an adversarial proceeding against NRZ, voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver, disclosure in a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q that there is significant uncertainty about Altisource’s ability to continue as a going concern, failure to maintain a specified level of cash and an unapproved change of control.

We anticipate that revenue from NRZ will increase over time and revenue from Ocwen will decrease. As Subject MSRs continue to transfer from Ocwen to NRZ and following the anticipated execution of the Services Agreement, we expect that NRZ will become our largest customer. Had all of the Subject MSRs been transferred to NRZ and the Brokerage Agreement and the Services Agreement with NRZ been in place as of January 1, 2018, we estimate that approximately 48% of our revenue for the six months endedJune 30, 2018 would have been related to NRZ. There can be no assurance that the parties will reach an agreement with respect to the terms of the Services Agreement or that a Services Agreement will be entered into on a timely basis or at all.

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 asset recovery management business’s collections. These amounts are held in escrow and trust accounts for limited periods of time and are not included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts held in escrow and trust accounts were $20.8 million and $35.1 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

SEGMENT REPORTING

SEGMENT REPORTING

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

We report our operations through two reportable segments: Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market. In addition, we report Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations separately. The Mortgage Market segment provides loan servicers and originators with marketplaces, services and technologies that span the mortgage lifecycle. The Real Estate Market segment provides real estate consumers and rental property investors with marketplaces and services that span the real estate lifecycle. In addition, the Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations segment includes businesses that provide post-charge-off consumer debt collection services primarily to debt originators (e.g., credit card, auto lending and retail credit), customer relationship management services primarily to the utility, insurance and hotel industries and IT infrastructure management services. Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations also includes interest expense and costs related to corporate support functions including executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, facilities, risk management, and sales and marketing costs not allocated to the business units as well as eliminations between the reportable segments.

Financial information for our segments is as follows:

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2018

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

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

Altisource consolidates Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc., which is managed by The Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource. Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc. is a mortgage cooperative doing business as Lenders One^® (“Lenders One”). MPA provides services to Lenders One under a management agreement that ends on December 31, 2025 (with renewals for three successive five-year periods at MPA’s option).

The management agreement between MPA and Lenders One, pursuant to which MPA is the management company, represents a variable interest in a variable interest entity. MPA is the primary beneficiary of Lenders One as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the cooperative’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the cooperative. As a result, Lenders One is presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis and the interests of the members are reflected as non-controlling interests.

Fair Value Measurements

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.

Revenue Recognition

As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, the Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition is as follows:

We recognize revenue from the services we provide in accordance with the 5-step process outlined in Topic 606. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive. This revenue can be recognized at a point in time or over time. We invoice customers based on our contractual arrangements with each customer, which may not be consistent with the period that revenues are recognized. When there is a timing difference between when we invoice customers and when revenues are recognized, we record either a contract asset (unbilled accounts receivable) or a contract liability (deferred revenue or other current liabilities), as appropriate. A description of our principal revenue generating activities by reportable segment are as follows:

Mortgage Market

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided.

• For loan servicing technologies, we recognize revenue based on the number of loans on the system, on a per-transaction basis or over the estimated average number of months the loans and real estate owned (“REO”) are on the platform, as applicable. We generally recognize revenue for professional services relating to loan servicing technologies over the contract period. For our loan origination system, we generally recognize revenue over the contract term, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. For foreclosure trustee services, we recognize revenue over the period during which we perform the related services, with full recognition upon completion and/or recording the related foreclosure deed. For loan disbursement processing services, we recognize revenue over the period during which we perform the processing services with full recognition upon completion of the disbursements. We use judgment to determine the period over which we recognize revenue for certain of these services. For mortgage charge-off collections performed on behalf of our clients, we recognize revenue as a percentage of amounts collected following collection from the borrowers.

• For real estate brokerage and auction services, we recognize revenue on a net basis as we perform services as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the commission earned on the sale is a fixed percentage or amount.

• Reimbursable expenses revenue, primarily related to our property preservation and inspection services, real estate sales and our foreclosure trustee services businesses, is included in revenue with an equal amount recognized in cost of revenue. These amounts are recognized on a gross basis, principally because generally we have control over selection of vendors and the vendor relationship is with us, rather than with our customers.

Real Estate Market

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided.

• For our renovation services, revenue is recognized over the period of the construction activity, based on the estimated percentage of completion of the projects. We use judgment to determine the period over which we recognize revenue for certain of these services. For real estate brokerage and auction services, we recognize revenue on a net basis as we perform services as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the commission earned on the sale is a fixed percentage or amount. For the buy-renovate-lease-sell business, we recognize revenue associated with our sales of short-term investments in real estate on a gross basis as we assume the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

• Reimbursable expenses revenue, primarily related to our real estate sales business, is included in revenue with an equal offsetting expense recognized in cost of revenue. These amounts are recognized on a gross basis, principally because generally we have control over selection of vendors and the vendor relationship is with us, rather than with our customers.

Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided. We generally earn fees for our post-charge-off consumer debt collection services as a percentage of the amount we collect on delinquent consumer receivables and recognize revenue following collection from the borrowers. We provide customer relationship management services for which we typically earn and recognize revenue on a per-person, per-call or per-minute basis as the related services are performed.

• For the information technology (“IT”) infrastructure services we provide to Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”), Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) and Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”), we recognize revenue primarily based on the number of users of the applicable systems, fixed fees and the number and type of licensed platforms. We recognize revenue associated with implementation services upon completion and maintenance services ratably over the related service period.

Adoption/Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and during 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance providing clarifications and corrections, including: ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, andASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (collectively “Topic 606”). Topic 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most prior revenue recognition guidance. This new standard requires that an entity recognize revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive and consistent with the delivery of the performance obligation described in the underlying contract with the customer.

The Company adopted Topic 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the cumulative effect method. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized an $11.2 million increase in deferred revenue, a $1.1 million increase in unbilled accounts receivable, a $0.3 million increase in other current liabilities and a $10.4 million decrease in retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. Because the Company adopted Topic 606 retrospectively with a cumulative effect as of January 1, 2018, the comparative results as of December 31, 2017 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 have not been restated and continue to be reported under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605, Revenue Recognition and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. The details of the significant changes and quantitative impact of the adoption of Topic 606 are described below. Also see Note 14 for additional information on revenue, including disaggregation of revenue and contract balances.

As a result of the adoption of Topic 606, the Company’s accounting policy for revenue recognition is as follows:

We recognize revenue from the services we provide in accordance with the 5-step process outlined in Topic 606. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive. This revenue can be recognized at a point in time or over time. We invoice customers based on our contractual arrangements with each customer, which may not be consistent with the period that revenues are recognized. When there is a timing difference between when we invoice customers and when revenues are recognized, we record either a contract asset (unbilled accounts receivable) or a contract liability (deferred revenue or other current liabilities), as appropriate. A description of our principal revenue generating activities by reportable segment are as follows:

Mortgage Market

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided.

• For loan servicing technologies, we recognize revenue based on the number of loans on the system, on a per-transaction basis or over the estimated average number of months the loans and real estate owned (“REO”) are on the platform, as applicable. We generally recognize revenue for professional services relating to loan servicing technologies over the contract period. For our loan origination system, we generally recognize revenue over the contract term, beginning on the commencement date of each contract. For foreclosure trustee services, we recognize revenue over the period during which we perform the related services, with full recognition upon completion and/or recording the related foreclosure deed. For loan disbursement processing services, we recognize revenue over the period during which we perform the processing services with full recognition upon completion of the disbursements. We use judgment to determine the period over which we recognize revenue for certain of these services. For mortgage charge-off collections performed on behalf of our clients, we recognize revenue as a percentage of amounts collected following collection from the borrowers.

• For real estate brokerage and auction services, we recognize revenue on a net basis as we perform services as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the commission earned on the sale is a fixed percentage or amount.

• Reimbursable expenses revenue, primarily related to our property preservation and inspection services, real estate sales and our foreclosure trustee services businesses, is included in revenue with an equal amount recognized in cost of revenue. These amounts are recognized on a gross basis, principally because generally we have control over selection of vendors and the vendor relationship is with us, rather than with our customers.

Real Estate Market

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided.

• For our renovation services, revenue is recognized over the period of the construction activity, based on the estimated percentage of completion of the projects. We use judgment to determine the period over which we recognize revenue for certain of these services. For real estate brokerage and auction services, we recognize revenue on a net basis as we perform services as an agent without assuming the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset and the commission earned on the sale is a fixed percentage or amount. For the buy-renovate-lease-sell business, we recognize revenue associated with our sales of short-term investments in real estate on a gross basis as we assume the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

• Reimbursable expenses revenue, primarily related to our real estate sales business, is included in revenue with an equal offsetting expense recognized in cost of revenue. These amounts are recognized on a gross basis, principally because generally we have control over selection of vendors and the vendor relationship is with us, rather than with our customers.

Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations

• For the majority of the services we provide, we recognize transactional revenue when the service is provided. We generally earn fees for our post-charge-off consumer debt collection services as a percentage of the amount we collect on delinquent consumer receivables and recognize revenue following collection from the borrowers. We provide customer relationship management services for which we typically earn and recognize revenue on a per-person, per-call or per-minute basis as the related services are performed.

• For the information technology (“IT”) infrastructure services we provide to Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen”), Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) and Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”), we recognize revenue primarily based on the number of users of the applicable systems, fixed fees and the number and type of licensed platforms. We recognize revenue associated with implementation services upon completion and maintenance services ratably over the related service period.

The adoption of Topic 606 did not have any impact on net cash flows used in operating, financing or investing activities on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Financial Instruments

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 requires 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings and decrease accumulated other comprehensive income by $0.7 million on January 1, 2018. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s investment in RESI subsequent to January 1, 2018, as well as any equity investments acquired in the future, will be reflected as a component of net income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Other Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated 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 requires that companies recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset (other than inventory) when the transfer occurs. Previous guidance prohibited 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s 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 requires 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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and was adopted using the retrospective transition method, as required by the standard. The adoption of this standard resulted in the classification of the Company’s restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result, the Company included $5.8 million, $3.8 million, $4.4 million and $4.1 million of restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as of June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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 Topic 606. This standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

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 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. This standard provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require the application of modification accounting. This standard requires companies to continue to apply modification accounting, unless the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of an award all do not change as a result of the modification. This standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, and the adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

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. This 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 arrangements where the Company is a lessee, we estimate that the new standard, if implemented as of June 30, 2018, would result in approximately $17.6 million right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018. 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 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 August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this standard better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedging results. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application 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.
