OCWEN FINANCIAL ANNOUNCES FULL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

● Net loss of $64 million for 2023, driven by $89 million reduction in unrealized MSR value change due to rates and assumptions, net of hedge

● Adjusted pre-tax income of $49 million for 2023, driven by strong servicing performance

● Achieved GAAP operating expense reduction over $120 million, or 23%, compared to 2022

● Total liquidity of $242 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 10% over December 31, 2022

West Palm Beach, FL – (February 27, 2024) – Ocwen Financial Corporation (NYSE: OCN) (“Ocwen” or the “Company”), a leading non-bank mortgage servicer and originator, today announced its full year and fourth quarter 2023 results and provided a business update.

The Company reported GAAP net loss of $47 million for the fourth quarter with an adjusted pre-tax income of $11 million (see “Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below).

Glen A. Messina, Chair, President and CEO of Ocwen, said, “In the fourth quarter we delivered another sequential quarter increase in adjusted pre-tax income, driven by our servicing segment, culminating in strong full year 2023 results in terms of both adjusted pre-tax income and adjusted ROE. Our industry-leading servicing cost and operating performance, combined with our special servicing capabilities, positioned us to execute on opportunistic asset management transactions that were accretive to earnings. Originations delivered year-over-year growth in average total servicing and subservicing UPB and responded to depressed industry volume levels by reducing expenses and increasing the volume mix of higher-margin products, while maintaining disciplined MSR investing. In an effort to address the impact of interest rate volatility on GAAP earnings, we increased our target MSR hedge coverage ratio throughout the year, currently at 100%, and continue to optimize our hedging strategy.”

Messina continued, “Our strong growth in adjusted pre-tax income in 2023 reflects the successful execution of our strategic priorities and demonstrates the strength of our enterprise and resilience of our team. I believe our balanced and diversified business, anchored by our best-in-class servicing platform and broad originations capabilities, positions us to deliver strong results in 2024 and beyond.”

Additional Full Year 2023 and Fourth Quarter 2023 Operating and Business Highlights

● Increased number of MSR capital partners in FY 2023 vs. FY 2022 from three to five

● Leveraged special servicing and asset management capabilities to execute accretive asset recovery transaction in Q2 2023

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains references to adjusted pre-tax income (loss), a non-GAAP financial measure.

We believe this non-GAAP financial measure provides a useful supplement to discussions and analysis of our financial condition, because it is a measure that management uses to assess the financial performance of our operations and allocate resources. In addition, management believes that this presentation may assist investors with understanding and evaluating our initiatives to drive improved financial performance. Management believes, specifically, that the removal of fair value changes of our net MSR exposure due to changes in market interest rates and assumptions provides a useful, supplemental financial measure as it enables an assessment of our ability to generate earnings regardless of market conditions and the trends in our underlying businesses by removing the impact of fair value changes due to market interest rates and assumptions, which can vary significantly between periods. However, this measure should not be analyzed in isolation or as a substitute to analysis of our GAAP pre-tax income (loss) nor a substitute for cash flows from operations. There are certain limitations to the analytical usefulness of the adjustments we make to GAAP pre-tax income (loss) and, accordingly, we use these adjustments only for purposes of supplemental analysis. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, Ocwen’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. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on analysis of the adjustments we make to GAAP pre-tax income (loss).

Notables

Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2023, for purposes of calculating Income Statement Notables and Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, we changed the methodology used to calculate MSR Valuation Adjustments due to rates and assumption changes to use a runoff calculation that reflects the actual runoff of the fair value of the MSR instead of the realization of expected cash flows (the prior methodology). We made this change because reporting on the actual runoff of the MSR fair value provides an additional supplemental piece of information for investors to assess this fair value runoff in addition to realization of expected cash flows (which are still provided in the financial statements), and this supplemental piece of information mirrors the way that management assesses the performance of our Servicing segment and the owned MSR portfolio. MSR Valuation Adjustments for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 have been revised from prior presentations to reflect the methodology we adopted during the first quarter of 2023.

In the table below, we adjust GAAP pre-tax income (loss) for the following factors: MSR valuation adjustments, expense notables, and other income statement notables. MSR valuation adjustments are comprised of changes to Forward MSR and Reverse mortgage valuations due to rates and assumption changes. Expense notables include significant legal and regulatory settlement expenses, expense recoveries, severance and retention costs, LTIP stock price changes, consolidation of office facilities and other expenses (such as costs associated with strategic transactions). Other income statement notables include non-routine transactions that are not categorized in the above.

(a) MSR Valuation Adjustments that are due to changes in market interest rates, valuation inputs or other assumptions, net of overall fair value gains / (losses) on MSR hedge, including FV changes of Pledged MSR liabilities associated with MSR transferred to MAV, RITM and others and ESS financing liabilities that are due to changes in market interest rates, valuation inputs or other assumptions, a component of MSR valuation adjustment, net. The adjustment does not include valuation gains on MSR purchases of $2.6M for Q4’22, $9.9M for FY’22 and $1.9M for FY’23.

(b) The changes in fair value due to market interest rates were measured by isolating the impact of market interest rate changes on the valuation model output as provided by our third-party valuation expert.

(c) Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2023, for purposes of calculating Income Statement Notables and Adjusted Pre-Tax Income, we changed the methodology used to calculate MSR Valuation Adjustments due to rates and assumption changes to exclude actual-to-model variances of realization of cash flows, or runoff. The presentation of past periods has been conformed to the current presentation. If we had used the methodology employed prior to Q1’23, Forward MSR Valuation Adjustments due to rates and assumption changes, net would have been $(65)M for Q4’22, $16M for Q3’23, $(61)M for Q4’23, $130M for FY’22 and $(97)M for FY’23; Adjusted PTI (Loss) would have been $(3)M in Q4’22, $7M in Q3’23, $8M in Q4’23, $(49)M in FY’22 and $25M in FY’23. See Note regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures for more information.

(d) FV changes of loans HFI and HMBS related borrowings due to market interest rates and assumptions, a component of gain on reverse loans held for investment and HMBS-related borrowings, net.

(e) Severance and retention due to organizational rightsizing or reorganization.

(f) Long-term incentive program (LTIP) compensation expense changes attributable to stock price changes during the period.

(g) Includes costs associated with but not limited to rebranding, MAV upsize and other strategic initiatives.

(h) Contains non-routine transactions including but not limited to gain on debt extinguishment, early asset retirement, and fair value assumption changes on other investments recorded in other income/expense.

(i) Certain previously presented notable categories with nil numbers for each period shown have been omitted.
