Altisource Asset Management Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Period End Results
FREDERIKSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, Feb. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altisource Asset Management Corporation (AAMC or the Company) (OTCQX:AAMC) announced today financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and period from inception (March 15, 2012) to December 31, 2012. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter and for the period from inception to December 31, 2012 totaled $46,000 or $(0.02) per share based on 2.3 million shares outstanding. The results of the fourth quarter and period ended December 31, 2012 include 10 days of operations commencing on the close of business on December 21, 2012.
Fourth quarter and period ending December 31, 2012 highlights:
- As of the close of business on December 21, 2012, we became a stand-alone public company through the separation of our business from Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (Altisource) and the distribution of our shares to the shareholders of Altisource.
- In connection with the separation, we were capitalized with $5 million of cash and entered into an asset management agreement with Altisource Residential Corporation.
- We incurred $46,000 of net loss attributable to common stockholders consisting of general and administrative expenses.
- In December 2012, we committed to invest $2 million for 100% of the voting common stock of NewSource, a title insurance and reinsurance company.
Chairman William Erbey stated, "I am pleased with AAMC's progress in serving Residential. AAMC is actively performing due diligence on select non-performing loan portfolios for Residential and is committed to the long-term success of both AAMC and Residential."
"We believe AAMC's management oversight will enable Residential to capitalize on the single family rental market by acquiring and managing assets at lower costs than its competitors. Accordingly, we seek to generate attractive risk adjusted returns for Residential and incentive fees for AAMC," said Chief Executive Officer Ashish Pandey.

AAMC will not hold an earnings call concerning 2012 fourth quarter results because the results only include 10 days of operations in 2012 after the separation from Altisource was completed. AAMC expects that it regularly will hold earnings calls in future periods.
