Altisource Asset Management Corporation Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results

CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, Nov. 09, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altisource Asset Management Corporation ("AAMC" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT:AAMC) today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2015.

Third Quarter 2015 Highlights:

  • Increased the rental portfolio of Altisource Residential Corporation ("Residential") to 2,516 homes as of September 30, 2015, including 2,105 rented properties, 156 properties listed for rent and 255 properties under leasehold renovation and unit turn, representing an increase of 156% over the 984 properties in the rental portfolio as of June 30, 2015.
  • Facilitated Residential's agreement to sell 871 non-performing loans at its balance sheet carrying value; unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of loans to be sold is $346.9 million, or approximately 15% of the total UPB in Residential's loan portfolio; sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter.1
  • Advised Residential on the completion of its acquisition of 1,314 rental homes in Atlanta for an aggregate purchase price of $111.4 million.
  • Facilitated Residential's declaration and payment of a $0.55 per share dividend.
  • Negotiated Residential's amendment of its repurchase facility with Wells Fargo to extend the facility to September 2017, increase the funding capacity to $750.0 million and increase its ability to finance REO to 40% of the facility.
  • Earned asset management fees of $5.2 million.

"In the third quarter of 2015, we successfully implemented Residential's diversified acquisition strategy to substantially grow its single-family rental portfolio," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George G. Ellison.  "Although our asset management fees remained lower during the third quarter, we continue to believe the amended fee structure promotes the long-term stability of both companies, aligns our incentives with Residential's strategy of becoming a large single-family rental home operator and better positions Residential for growth and improved returns. We believe the successful implementation of Residential's strategy will be an important factor in AAMC's future growth."

 _____________
1 Sale is subject to completion of due diligence and final negotiation of definitive purchase agreement.  Final purchase price is expected to be in the range of 1-2% of Residential's balance sheet carrying value for the loans.
