FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Our presentation contains certain forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may be identified by a reference to a future period or by the use of forward-looking terminology. Forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. Forward-looking statements involve a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: uncertainty related to legislation, regulations, regulatory agency actions, government programs and policies, industry initiatives and evolving best servicing practices; uncertainty related to claims, litigation and investigations brought by government agencies and private parties regarding our servicing, foreclosure, modification and other practices; the characteristics of our servicing portfolio, including prepayment speeds along with delinquency and advance rates; our ability to grow and adapt our business, including the availability of new loan servicing and other accretive business opportunities; uncertainty related to acquisitions, including our ability to close acquisitions and to integrate the systems, procedures and personnel of acquired assets and businesses; our ability to effectively manage our regulatory and contractual compliance obligations; the adequacy of our financial resources, including our sources of liquidity and ability to fund and recover advances, repay borrowings and comply with debt covenants; uncertainty related to general economic and market conditions, delinquency rates, home prices and disposition timelines on foreclosed properties; as well as other risks detailed in Owen’s reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including its annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013 (filed with the SEC on 08/18/14) and its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 (filed with the SEC on 08/18/14). No assurances can be given as to the amount of shares that Ocwen may repurchase pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase program or otherwise in any given period. Ocwen may use SEC Rule 10b5-1 plans in connection with its share repurchase program. Anyone wishing to understand Owen’s business should review its SEC filings. Owen’s forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Ocwen may post information that is important to investors on its website. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES: Our presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as our references to our segment expenses before allocations out of ‘Corporate Items & Other’ to the Servicing and Lending segments, our references to the value of our MSRs using various methodologies and our references to our economic balance sheet. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a useful supplement to discussions and analysis of our financial condition. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide an alternative way to view certain aspects of our business that is instructive. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, Owen’s reported results under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Other companies may use non-GAAP financial measures with the same or similar titles that are calculated differently to our non-GAAP financial measures. As a result, comparability may be limited. Further information may be found on Owen’s website, including our Q2 2014 earnings call and related presentation. Ocwen Financial Corporation 2

These values should have been booked to a point estimate, not allowed to reside within a +/- 5% range. The impact was a shift of interest expense among periods in 2013 and 1Q’14.

Regulatory changes and increased compliance and risk infrastructure requirements have added costs to our operations. We believe we can reduce significant costs over 18-24 months-a).

The change is primarily driven by lowering the non-Agency CPR to 11%, a rate more consistent with recent history.
