Current report
Serious delinquency rates, foreclosure initiations and foreclosure sales are very low relative to historical levels. Additionally, foreclosure initiations and sales as a percentage of seriously delinquent loans for 2020 through 2024 are significantly lower than prior years. During 2020 and 2021, these percentages were significantly impacted by COVID-19 borrower relief measures, including foreclosure moratoriums and forbearance programs. These measures largely expired at the end of 2021. Beginning in 2022, these percentages were impacted by servicer practices, home price appreciation, the general state of the economy, the interest rate environment, housing supply, and other factors. In 2021 and 2022, a very low interest environment drove a high volume of refinance transactions and home prices appreciated significantly. Although interest rates began to increase in 2022, home prices remained high. With greater home equity from home price appreciation, troubled borrowers have more options to avoid foreclosure.

We recognized service revenue of $150.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a 10% increase compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was driven by higher revenue in both segments. Revenue was higher in the Servicer and Real Estate segment from growth in our Field Services, Foreclosure Trustee and Property Renovation Services businesses in the Solutions business, partially offset by $0.8 million of first quarter 2023 non-recurring professional services revenue in the Equator business within the Technology and SaaS Products business and fewer home sales in the Marketplace business. Revenue was higher in the Origination segment from growth of reseller products in the Lenders One business.

Cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $79.6 million increased by 8% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily driven by higher outside fees and services from higher revenue in the Field Services, Property Renovation Services and Foreclosure Trustee businesses in the Solutions business and higher reimbursable expenses, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization from the completion of the depreciation periods of certain premises and equipment.
Current report
SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $11.4 million increased by 19% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2024 is primarily due to higher professional services and other expenses, partially offset by lower compensation and benefits. Professional services for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased primarily due to accruals for potential settlements of certain legacy indemnity claims. Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased from higher bad debt expense.

Revolving Loan Agreement
Current report
In connection with the Company’s residential real estate renovation services business, on June 3, 2024 Altisource Solutions, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A, entered into a revolving loan agreement with a related party, Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”) (the “Revolving Loan Agreement”).
Current report
Under the terms of the Revolving Loan Agreement, AAMC will make loans to Altisource from time to time, as may be requested by Altisource. The Revolving Loan Agreement provides Altisource the ability to borrow an initial aggregate amount of up to $1.0 million, with the potential for this to be increased up to $3.0 million at the option of AAMC. Amounts that are repaid may be re-borrowed in accordance with the limitations set forth below.
Current report
The maturity date of the Revolving Loan Agreement is June 3, 2025 and may be automatically extended for one year on each anniversary of the maturity date. During any extension period, AAMC may terminate the Revolving Loan Agreement upon 150 days prior written notice and the loan will mature upon such termination. The outstanding balance on the Revolving Loan Agreement is due and payable on such maturity date.
Current report
Borrowings under the Revolving Loan Agreement bear interest of 12.00% per annum in cash and are payable monthly in arrears on the first business day of each calendar month. Altisource will pay AAMC a monthly unused commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the average amount of the unused available credit under the Revolving Loan Agreement.
Current report
Altisource’s obligation under the Revolving Loan Agreement is secured by certain receivables related to the Company’s residential real estate renovation services business.
Current report

Current report
The income approach applies a fair value methodology to each reporting unit using discounted cash flows, including an estimation of future cash flows, which is based on our internally-developed revenue and profitability forecasts, including estimations of the long-term rate of growth of our business; estimations of the useful life over which cash flows will occur and the determination of our weighted average cost of capital, which is risk-adjusted to reflect the specific risk profile of the reporting unit being tested. The market approach includes an analysis of revenue and earnings multiples of guideline public companies compared to the Company. We base fair value estimates on assumptions we believe to be reasonable but that are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Our forecasts may change compared to prior period projections due to a variety of factors, including reductions in the rates of residential mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and REO volume and economic or market fluctuations that reduce the volume or value of residential mortgage origination or refinancings. We also perform sensitivity analyses of certain significant assumptions in our forecasts and assess the historical accuracy of our estimates. Actual future results may differ from those estimates.

COVID-19 Pandemic Impacts
Previous report
Actions taken by federal, state and local governments, GSEs and mortgage servicers in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic continue to have a profound impact on our business, our customers, and the industries in which we operate. Despite the expiration of certain such measures, we believe servicers are proceeding slowly with foreclosure initiations for borrowers in default and foreclosure initiations may not convert to foreclosure sales and REO at the same pace as prior to the pandemic due to improved home equity and borrower relief options. The decline in foreclosure initiations and foreclosure sales throughout the pandemic, partially offset by the restart of the default market, significantly decreased default related referrals to Altisource and continues to negatively impact virtually all of Altisource’s default related services revenue.

We recognized service revenue of $136.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a 5% decrease compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 is driven by lower revenue in both segments. Revenue was lower in the Servicer and Real Estate segment from the exit of a low margin customer care business in the fourth quarter 2022 and the apparent decline in a customer’s propensity to order services in two of our lower margin Solutions businesses within the Servicer and Real Estate segment, partially offset by growth in our foreclosure trustee business in the Solutions business within the Servicer and Real Estate segment. Revenue was lower in the Origination segment from the overall market decline in mortgage originations partially offset by Lenders One growth driven by our new reseller products.

If Aggregate Paydowns under the Amended Credit Agreement are equal to or greater than $30 million by February 13, 2024, then (subject to the representations and warranties being true and correct as of such date and there being no default or event of default being in existence as of such date) the maturity date of the SSTL may be extended at the Company’s option to April 30, 2026. Such extension is conditioned upon the Company’s payment of a 2% payment-in-kind extension fee on or before April 30, 2025.
Previous report

Previous report
Through March 29, 2023, the SSTL’s interest rate was the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.00%. Beginning March 30, 2023, the SSTL bears interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or the Base Rate, as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.

If the Company selects Base Rate, the loans initially bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus 4.00% payable in cash plus 5.00% PIK. 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) 4.00%.

Revenue Recognition
Previous report
We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of a product or service to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration that we expect to receive. This revenue can be recognized at a point in time or over time. We invoice customers based on our contractual arrangements with each customer, which may not be consistent with the period that revenues are recognized. When there is a timing difference between when we invoice customers and when revenues are recognized, we record either a contract asset (unbilled accounts receivable) or a contract liability (deferred revenue or other current liabilities), as appropriate.

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. 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. The Lenders One members’ earnings are included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource.

While we cannot predict whether the default market will return to a pre-pandemic operating environment, we believe the demand for our Default business will grow. We estimate that in today’s environment it typically takes on average two years to convert foreclosure initiations to foreclosure sales and six months to market and sell the REO. The foreclosure timelines could vary significantly based upon, for example, upon the state where the property is located and whether the foreclosure is contested. The REO sale timelines could also vary significantly based upon, for example, the local real estate market, whether the home is located in a redemption state and whether the home is occupied post foreclosure.

We estimate that in today’s environment it typically takes on average two years to convert foreclosure initiations to foreclosure sales and six months to market and sell the REO. The foreclosure timelines could vary significantly based upon, for example, the state where the property is located, whether the foreclosure is contested, amount of borrower equity in the home and available borrower relief programs. The REO sale timelines could also vary significantly based upon, for example, mortgage interest rates, the local real estate market, whether the home is located in a redemption state and whether the home is occupied post foreclosure.

The foregoing list is not intended to be exhaustive. Management cannot predict whether any of these events or other events will occur or the amount of any impact they may have on Altisource. We are seeking to diversify and grow our revenue and customer base and we have a sales and marketing strategy to support these efforts.

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 and fund negative operating cash flow. We also use cash for repayments of our long-term debt and capital investments. In addition, from time to time we may consider and evaluate business acquisitions, dispositions, closures, sales of equity securities or other similar actions that are aligned with our strategy.
