Altisource Asset Management Corporation Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, May 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: AAMC) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2015. Net income attributable to stockholders for the first quarter of 2015 totaled $6.9 million, or $2.50 per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to stockholders of $6.8 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2014.

2015 highlights to date:

Executed a new asset management agreement with Altisource Residential Corporation (“Residential”) that positions AAMC for sustainable growth. The total payment to AAMC for the first quarter 2015 under the new agreement is $15.7 million.
Negotiated Residential's establishment of a new $100.0 million facility to finance REO assets.
Negotiated Residential's renewal of its repurchase facility with Credit Suisse to increase its funding capacity from $225 million to $275 million with increased REO sublimits.
Facilitated Residential’s appointment of two new mortgage servicers and arranged for the transfer of approximately $1 billion of servicing to the new servicers.
Managed Residential's resolution of an aggregate of 1,069 mortgage loans.
Managed the growth of Residential’s rental portfolio to 785 properties as of April 30, 2015, including 655 rented properties.

“During the quarter, we executed a new asset management with Residential that we believe benefits both AAMC and Residential. We believe the new agreement and the other actions that we have taken with respect to financing and servicing transfers put Residential on a strong foundation to return to growth going forward.” said Chief Executive Officer George Ellison.
