In August 2018, Altisource initiated Project Catalyst, a project intended to optimize its operations and reduce costs to better align its cost structure with its anticipated revenues and improve its operating margins. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Altisource incurred $8.7 million and $6.3 million, respectively ($5.8 million and $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively), of severance costs, professional services fees, facility consolidation costs, technology costs and business wind down costs related to the reorganization plan. We expect to incur additional severance costs, professional services fees, technology costs and facility consolidation costs in connection with this internal reorganization, automation and other technology
related activities and will expense those costs as incurred. Based on our analysis, we currently anticipate the future costs relating to Project Catalyst to be in the range of approximately $4 million to $7 million.
