Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: ASPS), a leading provider and marketplace for the real
estate and mortgage industries, today reported financial results
for the third quarter 2024.
“We had another solid quarter, demonstrating our
resilience in a challenging market. We grew Service revenue both
sequentially and year-over-year despite a 15% decline in serious
delinquency rates, a 7% decline in foreclosure initiations and a
14% decline in foreclosure sales through August this year compared
to the same period last year(3). For the quarter, we generated
$38.2 million in Service revenue, a $4.0 million or 11.8% increase
over the same period last year. This growth primarily reflects
sales wins and represents our strongest quarterly Service revenue
performance in twelve quarters. Compared to last quarter, Service
revenue grew by $1.3 million or 3.5%, primarily from ramping sales
wins,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William B.
Shepro.
Mr. Shepro further commented, “With the recent
launch and on-going ramp of our Renovation business and sales wins,
we are diversifying our revenue streams and customer base and
positioning the Company for further growth.”

$38.2 million was $4.0 million, or 11.8%, higher than the same
quarter of 2023
- Third quarter
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and
amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)(1) of $3.6 million was $2.8
million better than the same quarter of 2023 from higher Service
revenue, lower Corporate costs and margin expansion in the
Origination segment, partially offset by approximately $1.2 million
of higher SG&A costs in the Servicer and Real Estate segment
from legacy indemnity claims and bad debt expense
- Third quarter
Adjusted EBITDA(1) margin of 9.5% was considerably stronger than
the 2.6% Adjusted EBITDA(1) margin in the same quarter of 2023

segment and $4.9 million for the Origination segment

and $40 million of estimated potential revenue on a stabilized

S.A.NON-GAAP MEASURES(in
thousands, except per share
data)(unaudited)
Adjusted operating income (loss), pretax loss
attributable to Altisource, adjusted pretax loss attributable to
Altisource, adjusted net loss attributable to Altisource, adjusted
diluted loss per share, net cash used in operating activities less
additions to premises and equipment, Adjusted EBITDA, Business
Segments Adjusted EBITDA and net debt, which are presented
elsewhere in this earnings release, are non-GAAP measures used by
management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other
users of our financial information to measure Altisource’s
performance and do not purport to be alternatives to income (loss)
from operations, loss before income taxes and non-controlling
interests, net loss attributable to Altisource, diluted loss per
share, net cash used in operating activities and long-term debt,
including current portion, as measures of Altisource’s performance.
We believe these measures are useful to management, existing
shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our
financial information in evaluating operating profitability and
cash flow generation more on the basis of continuing cost and cash
flows as they exclude amortization expense related to acquisitions
that occurred in prior periods and non-cash share-based
compensation, as well as the effect of more significant
non-operational items from earnings, cash flows from operating
activities and long-term debt net of cash on-hand. We believe these
measures are also useful in evaluating the effectiveness of our
operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is
consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance.
Furthermore, we believe the exclusion of more significant
non-operational items enables comparability to prior period
performance and trend analysis. Specifically, management uses
adjusted net loss attributable to Altisource to measure the
on-going after tax performance of the Company because the measure
adjusts for the after tax impact of more significant non-recurring
items, amortization expense relating to prior acquisitions (some of
which fluctuates with revenue from certain customers and some of
which is amortized on a straight-line basis) and non-cash
share-based compensation expense which can fluctuate based on
vesting schedules, grant date timing and the value attributable to
awards. We believe adjusted net loss attributable to Altisource is
useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other
users of our financial information because it provides an after-tax
measure of Altisource’s on-going performance that enables these
users to perform trend analysis using comparable data. Management
uses adjusted diluted loss per share to further evaluate adjusted
net loss attributable to Altisource while taking into account
changes in the number of diluted shares over the comparable
periods. We believe adjusted diluted loss per share is useful to
existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of
our financial information because it also enables these users to
evaluate adjusted net loss attributable to Altisource on a per
share basis. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the
Company’s overall performance and Business Segments Adjusted EBITDA
to measure the segments overall performance (with the adjustments
discussed earlier with regard to adjusted net loss attributable to
Altisource) without regard to its capitalization (debt vs. equity)
or its income taxes and to perform trend analysis of the Company’s
performance over time. Our effective income tax rate can vary based
on the jurisdictional mix of our income. Additionally, as the
Company’s capital expenditures have significantly declined over
time, it provides a measure for management to evaluate the
Company’s performance without regard to prior capital expenditures.
Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as one of the measures in
determining bonus compensation for certain employees. We believe
Adjusted EBITDA and Business Segments Adjusted EBITDA are useful to
existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of
our financial information for the same reasons that management
finds the measure useful. Management uses net debt in evaluating
the amount of debt the Company has that is in excess of cash and
cash equivalents. We believe net debt is useful to existing
shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our
financial information for the same reasons management finds the
measure useful.
Altisource operates in several countries,
including Luxembourg, India, the United States and Uruguay. The
Company has differing effective tax rates in each country and these
rates may change from year to year. In determining the tax effects
related to the adjustments in calculating adjusted net loss
attributable to Altisource and adjusted diluted loss per share, we
use the tax rate in the country in which the adjustment applies or,
if the adjustment is recognized in more than one country, we
separate the adjustment by country, apply the relevant tax rate for
each country to the applicable adjustment, and then sum the result
to arrive at the total adjustment, net of tax. In 2019, the Company
recognized a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax
assets in Luxembourg. Accordingly, for 2024 and 2023, the Company
has an effective tax rate of close to 0% in Luxembourg.
It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP
financial information to enhance the understanding of Altisource’s
GAAP financial information, and it should be considered by the
reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure
is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to
imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.
The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or
calculated differently by other companies. The non-GAAP financial
information should not be unduly relied upon.
Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated
by removing intangible asset amortization expense, share-based
compensation expense, cost of cost savings initiatives and other,
debt amendment costs and unrealized gain on warrant liability from
income (loss) from operations. Pretax loss attributable to
Altisource is calculated by removing non-controlling interests from
loss before income taxes and non-controlling interests. Adjusted
pretax loss attributable to Altisource is calculated by removing
non-controlling interests, intangible asset amortization expense,
share-based compensation expense, cost of cost savings initiatives
and other, debt amendment costs and unrealized gain on warrant
liability from loss before income taxes and non-controlling
interests. Adjusted net loss attributable to Altisource is
calculated by removing intangible asset amortization expense (net
of tax), share-based compensation expense (net of tax), cost of
cost savings initiatives and other (net of tax), debt amendment
costs, unrealized gain on warrant liability and certain income tax
related items from net loss attributable to Altisource. Adjusted
diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss
attributable to Altisource after removing intangible asset
amortization expense (net of tax), share-based compensation expense
(net of tax), cost of cost savings initiatives and other (net of
tax), debt amendment costs (net of tax), unrealized gain on warrant
liability (net of tax) and certain income tax related items by the
weighted average number of diluted shares. Net cash used in
operating activities less additions to premises and equipment is
calculated by removing additions to premises and equipment from net
cash used in operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by
removing the income tax provision, interest expense (net of
interest income), depreciation and amortization, intangible asset
amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, cost of
cost savings initiatives and other, debt amendment costs and
unrealized gain on warrant liability from net loss attributable to
Altisource. Business Segments Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by
removing non-controlling interests, depreciation and amortization,
intangible asset amortization expense, share-based compensation
expense, cost of cost savings initiatives and other from income
before income taxes and non-controlling interests. Net debt is
calculated as long-term debt, including current portion, minus cash
and cash equivalents.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the
corresponding GAAP measures are as follows:
