AAMC Altisource Asset Management Corporation

Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: AAMC) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2020.

First Quarter 2020 Highlights and Recent Developments

• Increased Front Yard Residential Corporation's (“Front Yard”) rental revenues to $54.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, up 4.3% over the fourth quarter of 2019.
• Managed continued improvement in Front Yard's operating metrics, yielding its best ever quarterly operational results.
• Advised Front Yard in the sale of 82 non-core homes for a $1.5 million gain over carrying value.
• Negotiated the settlement by Front Yard, at the direction of the Front Yard Board, to terminate the previously announced merger agreement with Amherst Residential, LLC (“Amherst”), providing Front Yard with up to $100 million of additional liquidity.
• Further developed new business opportunities for AAMC, forming cash management and fund entities to explore market dislocation opportunities for AAMC’s stockholders.

“While we of course are extremely disappointed that the merger of Front Yard and Amherst was not consummated, we believe that the settlement puts Front Yard in a strong liquidity position that should help it deliver long-term value for its stockholders,” stated George Ellison, Co-Chief Executive Officer. “We are also very pleased about the substantially improved operational performance that we achieved for Front Yard in the first quarter of 2020, which has continued into April, proving that the business model of Front Yard works and can produce attractive results.”

“AAMC has the expertise and the capital to invest in real estate related assets and originators to collect asset management fees and, potentially, interest income to take advantage of the current market dislocation to drive value for our stockholders,” stated Indroneel Chatterjee, Co-Chief Executive Officer.

First Quarter 2020 Financial Results

AAMC’s net loss for the first quarter of 2020 was $3.8 million, or $2.35 per diluted common share, which included a $(0.6) million change in the fair value of its shares of Front Yard common stock, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share, which included a $0.9 million change in the fair value of its shares of Front Yard common stock, for the first quarter of 2019.
