Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company reorganized its internal reporting structure in connection with Project Catalyst, a project initiated in August 2018 to optimize our operations and reduce costs to better align our cost structure with our anticipated revenues and improve our operating margins (see Note 22 ). The internal reorganization included, among other changes, the replacement of segment presidents with a chief operating officer, who is responsible for products, services and operations for the Company’s Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market businesses, reporting to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (our chief operating decision maker) who manages our businesses, regularly reviews operating results and profitability, allocates resources and evaluates performance on a consolidated basis. Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company reported our operations through two reportable segments: Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market . In addition, we reported Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations separately. The prior year presentation has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

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 Pronouncement

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (collectively “Topic 842”). Topic 842 introduces a new lessee model that brings substantially all leases on the balance sheet. This standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on their balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements in their financial statements. The Company adopted Topic 842 effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach. In addition, the Company elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, including allowing the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification, using hindsight to determine the lease term for existing leases, combining fixed lease and non-lease components and excluding short-term leases. Adoption of this new standard resulted in the recognition of $42.1 million of right-to-use assets in premises and equipment, net, $45.5 million of lease obligation liabilities ( $16.7 million in other current liabilities and $28.8 million in other non-current liabilities) and reduced accrued rent and lease incentives of $3.4 million in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other non-current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

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 condensed consolidated financial statements; however, adoption of this standard as of June 30, 2019 would not have had any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . This standard modifies certain disclosure requirements such as the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard also requires new disclosures such as the disclosure of certain assumptions used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption of either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements is permitted. The Company currently does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) . This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a hosting arrangement service contract with the existing guidance for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. This standard also requires capitalizing or expensing implementation costs based on the nature of the costs

and the project stage during which they are incurred and establishes additional disclosure requirements. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company currently plans to adopt the standard prospectively and is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

Ocwen

Ocwen Financial Corporation (“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.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 51% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 ( 44% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2019 ). Ocwen purchases certain mortgage services and technology services from us under the terms of services agreements and amendments thereto (collectively, the “Ocwen Services Agreements”) with terms extending through August 2025. Certain of the Ocwen Services Agreements contain a “most favored nation” provision and also grant the parties the right to renegotiate pricing, among other things.

Revenue from Ocwen primarily consists of revenue earned from the loan portfolios serviced and subserviced by Ocwen when Ocwen engages us as the service provider, and revenue earned directly from Ocwen, pursuant to the Ocwen Services Agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recognized revenue from Ocwen of $185.2 million and $210.8 million , respectively ( $87.0 million and $108.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively). Revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of consolidated revenue was 51% for both the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 ( 44% and 50% for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively).

We earn additional revenue related to the portfolios serviced and subserviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen or the MSR owner selects Altisource as the service provider. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recognized revenue of $20.3 million and $26.2 million , respectively ( $9.2 million and $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively), related to the 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 and revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of revenue above.

As of June 30, 2019 , accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled $28.1 million , $24.1 million of which was billed and $4.0 million of which was unbilled. As of December 31, 2018 , accounts receivable from Ocwen totaled $15.2 million , $11.6 million of which was billed and $3.6 million of which was unbilled.

As of February 22, 2019, Altisource and Ocwen entered into agreements that, among other things, facilitate Ocwen’s transition from REALServicing ^® and related technologies to another mortgage servicing software platform, establish a process for Ocwen to review and approve the assignment of one or more of our agreements to potential buyers of Altisource’s business lines, permit Ocwen to use service providers other than Altisource for up to 10% of referrals from certain portfolios (determined on a service-by-service basis), subject to certain restrictions, and affirms Altisource’s role as a strategic service provider to Ocwen through August 2025. If Altisource fails certain performance standards for specified periods of time, then Ocwen may terminate Altisource as a provider for the applicable service(s), subject to certain limitations and Altisource’s right to cure. We do not anticipate that the servicing technology transition will materially impact the other services we provide to Ocwen. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , service revenue from REALServicing and related technologies was $11.3 million and $17.5 million , respectively ( $3.1 million and $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively).

NRZ

New Residential Investment Corp. (individually, together with one or more of its subsidiaries or one or more of its subsidiaries individually, “NRZ”) is a real estate investment trust that invests in and manages investments primarily related to residential real estate, including MSRs and excess MSRs.

Ocwen has disclosed that NRZ is its largest client. As of March 31, 2019 , NRZ owned MSRs or rights to MSRs relating to approximately 50% of loans serviced and subserviced by Ocwen (measured in unpaid principal balances (“UPB”)). In July 2017 and January 2018, Ocwen and NRZ entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer from Ocwen to NRZ of Ocwen’s legal title to certain of its MSRs (the “Subject MSRs”) and under which Ocwen will subservice mortgage loans underlying the MSRs for an initial term of five years.

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

Table of Content

ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ( Continued )

this agreement and related amendments, Altisource remains the exclusive provider of brokerage services for real estate owned (“REO”) associated with the Subject MSRs, irrespective of the subservicer, subject to certain limitations. NRZ’s brokerage subsidiary receives a cooperative brokerage commission on the sale of REO properties from these portfolios subject to certain exceptions.

The Brokerage Agreement can, at Altisource’s discretion, be terminated by Altisource if a services agreement is not signed by Altisource and NRZ. 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recognized revenue from NRZ of $7.0 million and $19.2 million , respectively ( $3.0 million and $8.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively), under the Brokerage Agreement. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recognized additional revenue of $34.1 million and $42.8 million , respectively ( $16.4 million and $26.7 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively), relating to the Subject MSRs when a party other than NRZ selects Altisource as the service provider.

NOTE 3 — SALE OF BUSINESSES AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE

Rental Property Management Business

In August 2018, Altisource entered into an amendment to its agreements with Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) to sell Altisource’s rental property management business to RESI and permit RESI to internalize certain services that had been provided by Altisource. These services were historically provided under an agreement between RESI and Altisource, in which Altisource was the sole provider of rental property management services to RESI through December 2027, subject to certain exceptions. The proceeds from the transaction totaled $18.0 million , payable in two installments. The first installment of $15.0 million was received on the closing date of August 8, 2018. The second installment of $3.0 million will be received on the earlier of a RESI change of control or on August 8, 2023. The second installment was recorded as a long-term receivable in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and has a discounted value of $2.3 million and $2.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

Financial Services Business

On March 28, 2019, Altisource entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Financial Services business, consisting of its post-charge-off consumer debt and mortgage charge-off collection services and customer relationship management services (the “Financial Services Business”) to Transworld Systems Inc. (“TSI”) for $44.0 million consisting of an up-front payment of $40.0 million , subject to a working capital adjustment and transaction costs upon closing of the sale, and an additional $4.0 million payment on the one year anniversary of the sale closing. The sale of the Financial Services Business to TSI closed on July 1, 2019 (see Note 24 ). In connection with the transaction, the parties also entered into a transition services agreement to provide for the management and orderly transition of certain services and technologies to TSI for periods ranging from 2 months to 13 months . These services include support for information technology systems and infrastructure, facilities management, finance, compliance and human resources functions and will be charged to TSI on a fixed fee or hourly basis.

NOTE 4 — INVESTMENT IN EQUITY SECURITIES

During 2016, we purchased 4.1 million shares of RESI common stock. This investment is reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and changes in fair value are included in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we held 3.6 million and 4.1 million shares, respectively, of RESI common stock. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the fair value of our investment was $43.7 million and $36.2 million , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recognized an unrealized gain (loss) from the change in fair value of $14.0 million and $(6.0) million , respectively ( $11.8 million and $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively). The unrealized gains for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 included $1.2 million and $1.5 million , respectively, of net gains recognized on RESI shares sold during the second quarter of 2019 . During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we earned dividends of $1.2 million , in each period ( $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively), related to this investment.

Pursuant to the agreement between Altisource and RESI to sell the rental property management business to RESI (see Note 3 for additional information), Altisource was subject to a lock-up period with respect to the sale or transfer of the shares of common stock of RESI owned by Altisource (the “Shares”) through December 31, 2018. In addition, during each quarter of 2019, Altisource is permitted to sell or transfer no more than 25% of the Shares, provided that any Shares not sold in the applicable quarter will increase the amount that may be sold in the subsequent quarters by 50% of the unsold permitted amount. Thereafter, all transfer restrictions will expire and any remaining Shares will be freely transferable. Notwithstanding these restrictions, Altisource retains the right to sell or transfer the Shares at any time: (i) where Altisource has a good faith belief that its or its affiliates’ liquidity should be increased and the sale is necessary to achieve such an increase; (ii) where the proceeds of sales will be used to finance a strategic acquisition transaction; (iii) in privately negotiated block transactions with unrelated third parties or a similar transaction; or (iv) where RESI is the subject of a tender offer that is reasonably likely to result in a change of control or where RESI undergoes a change of control. In May 2019, the Company began selling its investment in RESI common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company sold 0.6 million shares for net proceeds of $6.5 million . As required by the senior secured term loan agreement, the Company is using the net proceeds to repay a portion of its senior secured term loan.

On November 26, 2018, the Company announced its plans to sell its short-term investments in real estate (“BRS Inventory”) and discontinue the Company’s Buy-Renovate-Lease-Sell (“BRS”) business. Altisource’s BRS business focused on buying, renovating, leasing and selling single-family homes to real estate investors. The BRS business is not material in relation to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. In anticipation of receiving the majority of the proceeds from the sale of the BRS Inventory in 2019, the Company repaid $49.9 million of its senior secured term loan in the fourth quarter of 2018.

On June 28, 2019, the Company sold the majority of the BRS Inventory to Lafayette Real Estate for $38.9 million . Following this and previous sales, only two homes with a value of $0.4 million remain to be sold. In connection with the sale of the majority of the BRS Inventory, the Company incurred a $1.8 million loss including closing costs.

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.

There are no mandatory repayments of the Term B Loans due until March 2020, when $3.4 million is due to be repaid. Thereafter, the Term B Loans must be repaid in consecutive quarterly principal installments of $3.1 million , 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.

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 in direct order of maturity by an amount equal to the mandatory prepayment.

On July 1, 2019, Altisource closed the sale of the Financial Services Business to TSI and received a $40.0 million up-front payment less adjustments for working capital and transaction costs (see Note 24 ). On July 17, 2019, Altisource used $37.0 million to repay a portion of the senior secured term loan.

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 as of June 30, 2019 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, 2019 .

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 (xi) the failure of certain Loan Documents to be in full force and effect.

NOTE 14 — 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . The following fair values are estimated using market information and what the Company believes to be appropriate valuation methodologies under GAAP:

Liabilities:
Senior secured term loan	333,012		—		328,433		—		338,822		—		330,351		—

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 3.6 million and 4.1 million shares of RESI common stock as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The investment in equity securities is measured using Level 1 inputs as these securities have quoted prices in active markets.

The fair value of our senior secured term loan 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.

In connection with the sale of the rental property management business in August 2018, Altisource will receive $3.0 million on the earlier of a RESI change of control or on August 8, 2023 (see Note 3 for additional information). We measure long-term receivables without a stated interest rate based on the present value of the future payments.

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 over 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 15 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Share Repurchase Program

On May 15, 2018, our shareholders approved the renewal and replacement of the share repurchase program previously approved by the shareholders on May 17, 2017. Under the 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, 2019 , approximately 3.1 million shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. We purchased 0.3 million shares of common stock at an average price of $21.89 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 0.8 million shares at an average price of $27.39 per share during the six months ended June 30, 2018 ( 0.3 million shares at an average price of $21.89 per share for the second quarter of 2019 and 0.4 million shares at an average price of $27.14 per share for the second quarter of 2018 ). 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, 2019 , we can repurchase up to approximately $105 million of our common stock under Luxembourg law. Our Credit Agreement also limits the amount we can spend on share repurchases, which was approximately $467 million as of June 30, 2019 , 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 $5.5 million and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively ( $2.8 million and $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively). As of June 30, 2019 , estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards amounted to $14.6 million , which we expect to recognize over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.72 years .

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 460 thousand service-based options were outstanding as of June 30, 2019 .

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 options 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 600 thousand market-based options were outstanding as of June 30, 2019 .

Performance-Based Options. These option grants generally begin to vest upon the achievement of certain specific financial measures. Generally, the options begin vesting if the performance criteria are achieved; one-fourth vests on each anniversary of the grant date. For certain other financial measures, options cliff-vest upon the achievement of the specific performance during the period from 2019 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 options are canceled. The options expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. There were 503 thousand performance-based options outstanding as of June 30, 2019 .

There were no stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2019 . Outstanding stock options increased by 228 thousand in February 2019 in connection with the determination of the level of achievement for certain performance-based options granted in 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 , 272 thousand stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $25.06 per share) were granted.

The fair values of the service-based options and performance-based options are 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
	Black-Scholes	Binomial

Risk-free interest rate (%)	2.66 – 2.98	1.64 – 2.83
Expected stock price volatility (%)	70.31 – 71.86	71.81 – 71.86
Expected dividend yield	—	—
Expected option life (in years)	6.00 – 6.25	2.56 – 4.32
Fair value	$16.17 – $19.06	$14.67 – $18.28

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:

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 two to four year periods with (a) vesting in equal annual installments, or (b) vesting of all of the restricted shares and restricted share units at the end of the vesting period. In addition, certain awards begin to vest after two years of service. A total of 546 thousand service-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2019 .

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 vests on each anniversary of the grant date or cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The number of performance-based restricted shares and restricted share units that may vest will be based on the level of achievement, as specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above certain financial performance levels and Altisource’s share performance is above certain established

criteria, participants have the opportunity to vest in up to 225% of the restricted share unit award for certain awards, depending on performance achieved. If the performance criteria achieved is below a certain threshold, the award is canceled. A total of 150 thousand performance-based awards were outstanding as of June 30, 2019 .

The Company granted 393 thousand restricted share units (at a weighted average grant date fair value of $24.86 per share) during the six months ended June 30, 2019 .

NOTE 16 — REVENUE

We classify revenue in three categories: service revenue, revenue from 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 ). Our services are primarily provided to customers located in the United States. The components of revenue were as follows:

NOTE 20 — INCOME TAXES

We recognized an income tax (provision) benefit of $(15.3) million and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively ( $(16.5) million and $(0.8) million the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively). The effective income tax rate increased to 192.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 28.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (increased to 138.7% for the second quarter of 2019 from 26.6% for the second quarter of 2018 ). The increases in the income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and second quarter of 2019 were primarily from a $12.3 million reduction in Luxembourg deferred tax assets in connection with a decrease in the Luxembourg statutory income tax rate from 26.0% to 24.9% in the second quarter of 2019 and a $0.9 million increase in foreign income taxes in connection with an internal legal entity reorganization in advance of the sale of the Financial Services Business (see Note 3 ). Excluding these two items, the effective tax rate would have been 25.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 27.6% for the second quarter of 2019 .

NOTE 21 — 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:

Diluted	$	(0.36	)	$	0.09	$	(0.56	)	$	(0.15	)

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , 1.5 million and 1.3 million , respectively ( 1.5 million and 0.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively), stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units were excluded from the computation of EPS, as a result of the following:


•	For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , 0.4 million and 0.3 million , respectively ( 0.5 million and 0.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively), stock options were anti-dilutive and have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common stock

•

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , 0.8 million and 0.5 million , respectively ( 0.8 million and 0.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively), stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units, 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, and have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS


•	As a result of the net loss attributable to Altisource for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , 0.3 million and 0.5 million , respectively ( 0.3 million for the second quarter of 2019 ), stock options, restricted shares and restricted share units were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS, as their impacts were anti-dilutive

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 $12 million to $15 million .

NOTE 23 — 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.

Sales Taxes

On June 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court rendered a 5-4 majority decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., holding that a state may require a remote seller with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales tax on goods and services provided to purchasers in the state, overturning certain existing court precedent. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company completed the analysis of its services for potential exposure to sales tax in various jurisdictions in the United States. The Company recognized a $2.1 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 ( no comparative amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the second quarter s of 2019 and 2018 ) in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company began invoicing, collecting and remitting sales tax in applicable jurisdictions in 2019. The Company is also in the process of seeking reimbursement for sales tax payments from clients; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in collecting some or all of such reimbursements. Future changes in our estimated sales tax exposure could result in a material adjustment to our condensed consolidated financial statements, which would impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Ocwen Related Matters

As discussed in Note 2 , during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 51% of our total revenue ( 44% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2019 ). Additionally, 6% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 ( 5% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2019 ) 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 demands, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings, some of which include claims against Ocwen for substantial monetary damages (collectively, “Ocwen Regulatory Matters”). For example, on May 15, 2017, Ocwen disclosed that on April 20, 2017, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 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. 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 foregoing 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements ( Continued )

Ocwen has disclosed that NRZ is its largest client. As of March 31, 2019 , NRZ owned MSRs or rights to MSRs relating to approximately 50% of loans serviced and subserviced by Ocwen (measured in UPB). In July 2017 and January 2018, Ocwen and NRZ entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer from Ocwen to NRZ of Ocwen’s legal title to the Subject MSRs and under which Ocwen will subservice mortgage loans underlying the Subject MSRs for an initial term of five years. NRZ can terminate its sub-servicing agreement with Ocwen in exchange for the payment of a termination fee.

The existence or outcome of the Ocwen Regulatory Matters or the termination of the NRZ sub-servicing agreement with Ocwen 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, it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose its non-government-sponsored enterprise (“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 and others 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 whether any of these events will occur or the amount of any impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event one or more of these events 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.

We are focused on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base and we have a sales and marketing strategy to support our 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.

Leases

We lease certain premises and equipment, primarily consisting of office space and information technology equipment. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the provisions of Topic 842, resulting in recognition of $42.1 million of right-to-use assets in premises and equipment, net and $45.5 million of lease obligation liabilities (see Note 1). Certain of our leases include options to renew at our discretion or terminate leases early, and these options are considered in our determination of the expected lease term. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We sublease certain office space to third parties. Sublease income was $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively ( $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively). The depreciable lives of right-to-use assets are generally limited by the expected lease term. Our leases generally have expected lease terms at adoption of one to six years.

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.

Table of Contents

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.

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company reorganized its internal reporting structure in connection with Project Catalyst, a project initiated in August 2018 to optimize our operations and reduce costs to better align our cost structure with our anticipated revenues and improve our operating margins. The internal reorganization included, among other changes, the replacement of segment presidents with a chief operating officer, who is responsible for products, services and operations for the Company’s Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market businesses, reporting to our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (our chief operating decision maker) who manages our businesses, regularly reviews operating results and profitability, allocates resources and evaluates performance on a consolidated basis. Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company reported our operations through two reportable segments: Mortgage Market and Real Estate Market . In addition, we reported Other Businesses, Corporate and Eliminations separately. The prior year presentation has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

We provide loan servicers and originators with marketplaces, services and technologies that span the mortgage lifecycle. We provide real estate consumers with marketplaces and services that span the real estate lifecycle. Our offerings include:

•	Hubzu ^® online real estate auction platform, real estate auction, real estate brokerage and asset management


•	Equator ^® , a SaaS based technology to manage real estate owned (“REO”), short sales, foreclosure, bankruptcy and eviction processes

•	Buy-Renovate-Lease-Sell (“BRS”) short-term investments in real estate (this business is being discontinued in 2019)


•	Residential and commercial loan servicing technologies, loan origination system, document management platform and information technology infrastructure management services

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 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. Through our suite of offerings described above, we facilitate transactions and provide products, solutions and services related to home sales, home purchases, home maintenance, mortgage originations and mortgage servicing. Our suite of offerings provide Altisource the potential to grow and diversify our customer and revenue base. We believe we operate in very large markets and directly leverage our core competencies and distinct competitive advantages.

Table of Contents

Through our offerings that support residential loan servicers, we provide a suite of services and technologies intended to meet their growing and evolving needs. We are focused on growing referrals from our existing 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 delinquency rates rise and as existing customers and prospects consolidate to larger, full-service providers and outsource services that have historically been performed in-house.

We also provide services to loan originators (or other similar mortgage market participants) in originating, buying and selling residential mortgages. 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 attempting to grow referrals from our existing customer base and attract new customers to our offerings. We have a customer base that includes Lenders One cooperative mortgage bankers and mid-size and larger bank and non-bank loan originators. We believe our suite of services and technologies positions 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.

We are also continuing to develop our earlier stage businesses, including Owners.com and Pointillist. Through our Owners.com brokerage, we provide real estate buyers and sellers with a technology-enabled real estate brokerage and the integrated services to support them in buying and selling a home. Our offerings include local real estate agent services, loan brokerage, and closing and title services. Pointillist, which was developed by Altisource through our consumer analytics capabilities, is a potentially disruptive SaaS-based platform that provides unique customer journey analytics at scale and enables customers to engage through our intelligent platform. We are focused on continuing to develop these businesses by capitalizing on Altisource’s experience in online real estate marketing, loan origination services and analytics.

Ocwen Related Matters

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , Ocwen was our largest customer, accounting for 51% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 ( 44% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2019 ). Additionally, 6% of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2019 ( 5% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2019 ) 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.

Table of Contents

Ocwen has disclosed that NRZ is its largest client. As of March 31, 2019 , NRZ owned MSRs or rights to MSRs relating to approximately 50% of loans serviced and subserviced by Ocwen (measured in unpaid principal balances). In July 2017 and January 2018, Ocwen and NRZ entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer from Ocwen to NRZ of Ocwen’s legal title to certain of its MSRs (the “Subject MSRs”) and under which Ocwen will subservice mortgage loans underlying the MSRs for an initial term of five years. NRZ can terminate its sub-servicing agreement with Ocwen in exchange for the payment of a termination fee.

The existence or outcome of the Ocwen Regulatory Matters or the termination of the NRZ sub-servicing agreement with Ocwen 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, 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 and others 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.


•	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

Factors Affecting Comparability

The following items may impact the comparability of our results:

•

On March 28, 2019, Altisource entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Financial Services business, consisting of post-charge-off consumer debt and mortgage charge-off collection services and customer relationship management services (the “Financial Services Business”) to Transworld Systems Inc. (“TSI”) for $44.0 million consisting of an up-front payment of $40.0 million , subject to a working capital adjustment and transaction costs upon closing of the sale, and an additional $4.0 million payment on the one year anniversary of the sale closing. As a result, the Company has reclassified the assets and liabilities of the Financial Services Business to assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 . The sale of the Financial Services Business to TSI closed on July 1, 2019. The Company currently expects to recognize a pretax gain of approximately $18 million from the sale of the Financial Services Business in the third quarter of 2019. In connection with the transaction, the parties also entered into a transition services agreement to provide for the management and orderly transition of certain

Table of Contents

services and technologies to TSI for periods ranging from 2 months to 13 months . On July 17, 2019, Altisource used $37 million of the net up-front payment to repay a portion of its senior secured term loan.


•	On June 28, 2019, the Company sold the majority of its short-term investments in real estate (“BRS Inventory”) to Lafayette Real Estate for $38.9 million . Following this and previous sales, only two homes with a value of $0.4 million remain to be sold. In connection with the sale of the majority of the BRS Inventory, the Company incurred a $1.8 million loss including closing costs.

•

In May 2019, the Company began selling its investment in Front Yard Residential Corporation (“RESI”) common stock. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , the Company sold 0.6 million shares for net proceeds of approximately $6.5 million . As required by the senior secured term loan agreement, the Company is using the net proceeds to repay a portion of its senior secured term loan.

•

During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , the Company recognized an unrealized gain (loss) of $14.0 million and $(6.0) million , respectively ( $11.8 million and $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 , respectively) on its investment in RESI common shares in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) from a change in the market value of RESI common shares.

•

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company implemented a new accounting standard on leases which required the recognition of operating leases by companies as lease obligation liabilities on their balance sheets and also required the recognition of right-of-use assets. This resulted in higher depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense and lower occupancy related costs (see Notes 1 and 23 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this accounting change). Adoption of this new standard resulted in the recognition of $42.1 million of right-to-use assets in premises and equipment, net, $45.5 million of lease obligation liabilities ( $16.7 million in other current liabilities and $28.8 million in other non-current liabilities) and reduced accrued rent and lease incentives of $3.4 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Consequently, occupancy related costs were lower by $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense increased by $6.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively (for the second quarter of 2019, occupancy related costs were lower by $3.9 million and depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense increased by $3.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively).

•

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 three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , Altisource incurred $1.9 million and $6.3 million , respectively, of severance costs, professional services fees and technology costs related to the reorganization plan (no comparative amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 ). Altisource expects 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 the Company’s analysis, it currently anticipates the future costs relating to Project Catalyst to be in the range of approximately $12 million to $15 million .

•

On June 21, 2018, the United States Supreme Court rendered a 5-4 majority decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., holding that a state may require a remote seller with no physical presence in the state to collect and remit sales tax on goods and services provided to purchasers in the state, overturning certain existing court precedent. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company completed the analysis of its services for potential exposure to sales tax in various jurisdictions in the United States. The Company recognized a $2.1 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (no comparative amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the second quarter s of 2019 and 2018) in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company began invoicing, collecting and remitting sales tax in applicable jurisdictions in 2019. The Company is also in the process of seeking reimbursement for sales tax payments from clients; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in collecting some or all of such reimbursements. Future changes in our estimated sales tax exposure could result in a material adjustment to our condensed consolidated financial statements which would impact our financial condition and results of operations.

•

On April 3, 2018, Altisource 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, 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. 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 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and second quarter of 2018 (no comparative amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the second quarter 2019).


•	The effective income tax rate increased to 192.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 28.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (increased to 138.7% for the second quarter of 2019 from 26.6% for the second quarter of 2018). The effective income tax rate increases for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and second quarter of 2019 were primarily

Table of Contents

from a $12.3 million reduction in Luxembourg deferred tax assets in connection with a decrease in the Luxembourg statutory income tax rate from 26.0% to 24.9% in the second quarter of 2019 and a $0.9 million increase in foreign income taxes in connection with an internal legal entity reorganization in advance of the sale of the Financial Services Business. Excluding these two items, the effective tax rate would have been 25.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 27.6% for the second quarter of 2019.

We recognized service revenue of $355.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , an 11% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 ( $190.5 million for the second quarter of 2019 , a 9% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2018 ). Field Services, Marketplace and Mortgage and Real Estate Solutions were negatively impacted during these periods by the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio and number of delinquent loans, RESI’s smaller portfolio of non-performing loans and REO, as RESI continued to sell off its portfolio and focus on directly acquiring, renovating and managing rental homes, and higher brokerage commission earned from the NRZ portfolio during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 related to REO properties that transferred to NRZ from Ocwen that were already listed on Hubzu. This transitional service revenue for these transferred properties ended in 2018. In addition, during the second quarter of 2019 , we believe foreclosure holds and other temporary effects of Ocwen’s transition to another mortgage servicing software platform negatively impacted referral volume and service revenue. These decreases in service revenue were partially offset by net service revenue growth in Other and service revenue growth from Earlier Stage Businesses. The service revenue increase in Other was from the sale of the majority of the BRS Inventory to Lafayette Real Estate for $38.9 million in the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by lower rental property management and construction management service revenue from RESI as we exited these businesses in 2018. Service revenue growth in the Earlier Stage Businesses was driven by increases in transaction volumes at Owners.com and customer wins at Pointillist.

We recognized reimbursable expense revenue of $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , a 46% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 ( $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 , a 47% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2018 ). The decreases in reimbursable expense revenue were primarily for the reasons discussed in service revenue above.

Certain of our revenues are impacted by seasonality. More specifically, revenues from property sales, loan originations and certain Field 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 typically 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.

Table of Contents

Cost of revenue consisted of the following:



	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2019		2018		% Increase (decrease)		2019		2018		% Increase (decrease)

Cost of revenue	$	152,641	$	163,206	(6	)	$	276,745	$	310,400	(11	)

We recognized cost of revenue of $276.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , an 11% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 ( $152.6 million for the second quarter of 2019 , a 6% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2018 ). The decreases were primarily driven by cost reduction initiatives and benefits of Project Catalyst and lower outside fees and services from the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio, as discussed in the revenue section above. The decline in compensation and benefits in certain of our businesses also resulted from lowering headcount consistent with the revenue decline from the Ocwen and RESI portfolios and the transfer of employees to selling, general and administrative functions in connection with the Project Catalyst reorganization. In addition, depreciation and amortization expense decreased, primarily as a result of the completion of the depreciation period of certain premises and equipment during the second quarter of 2019. The increase in cost of real estate sold is primarily due to the sale of the majority of the BRS Inventory in the second quarter of 2019, as discussed in the revenue section above. The decrease in reimbursable expenses was consistent with the decrease in reimbursable expense revenue discussed in the revenue section above.

Gross profit decreased to $89.7 million , representing 25% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $105.6 million , representing 27% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (decreased to $43.9 million , representing 23% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $55.4 million , representing 27% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2018 ). Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , primarily due to revenue mix with higher revenue from the sale of the majority of the BRS Inventory in the second quarter of 2019 and incurred a $1.8 million loss including closing costs and lower revenue from other higher margin businesses. These decreases were partially offset by our Project Catalyst cost reduction initiatives.

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 services fees, occupancy costs, marketing costs, depreciation and amortization of non-operating assets and other expenses.

SG&A expenses consisted of the following:



	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(in thousands)	2019		2018		% Increase (decrease)		2019		2018		% Increase (decrease)

Table of Contents

SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $77.1 million decreased by 10% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 ( $35.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 , a 16% decrease compared to the second quarter of 2018 ). The decreases were primarily driven by lower occupancy related costs, amortization of intangible assets and Other expenses, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization expense and compensation and benefits. Occupancy related costs were lower and depreciation and amortization expense was higher primarily as a result of the January 1, 2019 implementation of a new accounting standard on operating leases. The new standard required the recognition of operating leases by companies as lease obligation liabilities on their balance sheets and also required the recognition of right-of-use assets, resulting in higher depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense and lower occupancy related costs. Consequently, depreciation and amortization expense related to the right-to-use assets increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 (see Notes 1 and 23 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this accounting change). The decreases in amortization of intangible assets were driven by lower revenue generated by the Homeward Residential, Inc. and Residential Capital, LLC portfolios (revenue-based amortization), consistent with the reduction in the size of Ocwen’s portfolio discussed in the revenue section above. In addition, as a result of reclassifying the Financial Services Business as assets held for sale as of March 28, 2019 (see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information), we no longer amortize the Financial Services Business’ intangible assets. Other expenses decreased primarily due to lower travel and entertainment costs driven by Project Catalyst cost reduction initiatives and lower bad debt expense as a result of improved collections. The increase in compensation and benefits was driven by the transfer of employees into selling, general and administrative functions from cost of revenue functions in connection with the Project Catalyst reorganization, as discussed in the cost of revenue section above, and higher share-based compensation expense.

Other Operating Expenses - Restructuring Charges

In August 2018, Altisource initiated Project Catalyst, a project intended to optimize our operations and reduce costs to better align our cost structure with our anticipated revenues and improve our operating margins. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 , we incurred $1.9 million and $6.3 million , respectively, of severance costs, professional services fees and technology 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 $12 million to $15 million .

Income from Operations

Income from operations decreased to $6.3 million , representing 2% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to $19.5 million , representing 5% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 (decreased to $6.1 million , representing 3% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $12.4 million , representing 6% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2018 ). Income from operations as a percentage of service revenue decreased in 2019 compared to 2018 , as a result of lower gross margins, as discussed above, and from the restructuring costs incurred during 2019.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net principally includes interest expense, unrealized gain (loss) on our investment in RESI common shares and other non-operating gains and losses.

Other income (expense), net was $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $(21.4) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 ( $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2019 and $(9.4) million the second quarter of 2018 ). The decreases in other expense were primarily driven by a $14.0 million unrealized gain on our investment in RESI common shares compared to a $(6.0) million loss in 2018 . In addition, 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. 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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 (no comparative amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 ).

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

Table of Contents

quarter of 2019 and a $0.9 million increase in foreign income taxes in connection with an internal legal entity reorganization in advance of the sale of the Financial Services Business. Excluding these two items, the effective tax rate would have been 25.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 27.6% for the second quarter of 2019 .

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations and cash on hand. 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 repayments of our long-term debt, capital investments and seek to use cash from time to time to repurchase shares of our common stock. In addition, we consider and evaluate business acquisitions and dispositions from time to time that are aligned with our strategy.

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, 2019 , $333.0 million of the Term B Loans were outstanding. There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2019 .

There are no mandatory repayments of the Term B Loans due until March 2020, when $3.4 million is due to be repaid. Thereafter, the Term B Loans must be repaid in consecutive quarterly principal installments of $3.1 million, 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, certain 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.

The interest rate on the Term B Loans as of June 30, 2019 was 6.3% .

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 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, 2019 , cash flows provided by operating activities were $33.2 million , or approximately $0.09 for every dollar of service revenue ( $0.21 for every dollar of service revenue for the second quarter of 2019 ), compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $23.3 million , or approximately $0.06 for every dollar of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 ( $0.15 for every dollar of service revenue for the second quarter of 2018 ). During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , the increase in cash provided by operations was driven by higher cash provided by the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $25.2 million, partially offset by a $15.3 million unfavorable change in net loss, adjusted for non-cash items. The increase in cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities was driven by the decrease in short-term investments in real estate of $39.5 million primarily related to the sale of the majority of the remaining BRS Inventory for $38.9 million in the second quarter of 2019. The cash flow impact of the decrease in short-term investments was partially offset by an increase of $15.8 million in accounts receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2019 driven by the timing of collections. During the second quarter of 2019, accounts receivable increased in part as a result of delays in receiving payments from Ocwen in connection with Ocwen’s transition to another mortgage servicing software platform. The decrease in net loss, adjusted for non-cash items, was primarily driven by lower gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from lower service revenue and the Project Catalyst restructuring charges, partially offset by decreases in expenses as a result of the Project Catalyst cost reduction initiatives and an unrealized gain on investment in equity securities of $14.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , compared to an unrealized loss on investment in equity securities of $(6.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 . 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. Consequently, our cash flows from operations may be negatively impacted when comparing one period to another.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 consisted of additions to premises and equipment, and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 , also included proceeds from the sale of a business and proceeds from the sale of equity securities. Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were $6.6 million and $(2.8) million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The change in cash provided by investing activities was primarily driven by $6.5 million in proceeds received from the sale of a portion of our investment in RESI common stock during the second quarter of 2019 .

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 included activities associated with long-term debt issuances, repayments and debt issuance costs. In addition, financing activities include proceeds from stock option exercises, the purchase of treasury shares, distributions to non-controlling interests and payments of tax withholdings on issuance of restricted share units and restricted shares. Cash flows used in financing activities were $(14.7) million and $(39.0) million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we used $(5.8) million for repayments of long-term debt and during the six months ended June 30, 2018 , we used net cash of $(19.0) million to refinance and reduce our debt. In addition, we received proceeds from stock option exercises of $0.2 million for six months ended June 30,

2019 compared to $2.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 . Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 , we used $(6.7) million to repurchase shares of our common stock compared to $(21.1) million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and distributed $(1.1) million and $(1.2) million to non-controlling interests, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 , we made payments of $(1.3) million and $(0.4) million to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations on the issuance of restricted share units and restricted shares, respectively. 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 share units and restricted shares to employees.

Liquidity Requirements after June 30, 2019

Our significant future liquidity obligations primarily pertain to long-term debt repayments and interest expense under the Credit Agreement (see Liquidity section above), lease payments and distributions to Lenders One members. During the next 12 months, we expect to pay $21.9 million of interest expense (assuming the June 30, 2019 interest rate, and before considering repayments after June 30, 2019 from proceeds received from the sale of the Financial Services Business and RESI common shares) under the Credit Agreement and make lease payments of $13.2 million. On July 17, 2019, we used $37.0 million to repay a portion of the senior secured term loan in connection with the sale of the Financial Services Business.

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 interest payments and additions to premises and equipment, for the next 12 months.

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 , there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations from those identified in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and this Form 10-Q, other than those that occur in the normal course of business and repayments of the senior secured term loan in connection with the sale of the Financial Services Business and RESI common stock. See Note 24 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.

Our critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2019 . There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2019 .

Recently Adopted and Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

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, 2019 , the interest rate charged on the Term B Loan was 6.3% . The interest rate is calculated based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement) with a minimum floor of 1.00% plus 4.00% .

Based on the principal amount outstanding and the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate as of June 30, 2019 , a one percentage point increase in the Eurodollar rate would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $3.3 million . There would be a $3.3 million decrease in our annual interest expense if there was a one percentage point decrease in the 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 , 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 $0.7 million .

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

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 Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2019 , an evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and 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, 2019 .
