Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On September 7, 2023, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain preliminary unaudited financial results for July 2023, a status update on the July 2023 cost reduction plan, updated guidance for adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the second half of 2023, and an updated Run-Rate scenario. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Item 2.02, including the information in Exhibit 99.1, is furnished solely pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K. Consequently, it is not deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Securities Act of 1933 if such subsequent filing specifically references this Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Company is providing the following preliminary estimates of financial results for the month of July 2023, which the Company has prepared in good faith based upon the most recent information available to management from the Company’s internal reporting procedures as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The estimated amounts set forth herein are preliminary, unaudited and subject to further completion, reflect our current good faith estimates, are subject to additional financial closing procedures and may be revised as a result of management’s further review of the Company’s results and any adjustments that may result from the completion of the interim review of the third quarter 2023 consolidated financial statements. The Company and its auditors have not completed its normal quarterly review as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s final results for this quarterly period will not differ from these estimates. Any such changes could be material. During the course of the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company may identify items that would require it to make material adjustments to the preliminary information presented below.
The Company expects to publicly report its final consolidated financial statements and related notes as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 in October 2023. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the estimates below. These estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full audited or interim financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the preliminary results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of future performance of any other period. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Run-Rate Scenario Assumptions
Servicer and Real Estate Segment Assumptions:
•Default Market:
•The default market will return to a normal, pre-pandemic foreclosure environment
•Default Service revenue - Ocwen Financial Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "Ocwen")-serviced loans:
•Existing Ocwen-serviced non-government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) loan portfolios (loan count) decline 10% per year for three years
•Existing Ocwen-serviced GSE and Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) loan portfolio acquisitions (net of run-off) increase by 5% per year for three years reflecting portfolio acquisitions, net of run-off
•Average delinquency rates for Ocwen-serviced portfolios in line with Q4’19 levels
•Service revenue per delinquent loan for Ocwen-serviced non-GSE loans reflects 2019 revenue per delinquent loan, adjusted down for the estimated field services, valuation and title referrals associated with Rithm Capital Corporation (together with one or more of its subsidiaries or one or more of its subsidiaries individually, "Rithm") (formerly New Residential Investment Corporation)’s portfolios that it redirected to its vendor subsidiaries
•Service revenue per delinquent loan for Ocwen-serviced GSE and FHA loans reflects 2019 revenue per delinquent loan, adjusted upward to reflect our May 2021 expanded relationship with Ocwen to include estimated normalized field services and Hubzu referrals revenue from FHA, Veterans Affairs and United States Department of Agriculture portfolios
•Default Service revenue - Non-Ocwen and Non-Rithm customers:
•Total number of U.S. mortgages remains flat
•Percentage of seriously delinquent loans generally consistent with 2018 market levels
•Service revenue per active foreclosure based on 2019 levels
•Non-default Service revenue:
•Non-default related revenue in the Servicer and Real Estate segment held constant relative to 2019
Origination Segment Assumptions:
•Origination revenue held constant relative to LTM(2) Q2’23 based on current interest rate environment
Corporate and Other Segment Assumptions:
•Note: 2019 Service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) in Corporate and Other includes businesses that have been sold or discontinued; no Service revenue for Corporate and Other is assumed in the Run-Rate scenario
Adjusted EBITDA Margins and Corporate and Other Costs Assumptions:
•Servicer and Real Estate segment Adjusted EBITDA margins(1) are improving from revenue growth, product mix and efficiency initiatives
•Origination segment Adjusted EBITDA margins(1) are equal to 2019 Origination Adjusted EBITDA margins(1)
•Corporate and Other costs held constant relative to LTM(2) Q2’23

NON-GAAP MEASURES

(preliminary and unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are presented elsewhere in this Current Report on Form 8-K, are non-GAAP measures used by management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of the Company’s financial information to measure Altisource’s performance and does not purport to be alternative to net loss attributable to Altisource, including current portion, as measures of Altisource’s performance. We believe these measures are useful to management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information in evaluating operating profitability more on the basis of continuing costs as it excludes amortization expense related to acquisitions that occurred in prior periods and non-cash share-based compensation, as well as the effect of more significant non-operational items from earnings. We believe these measures are also useful in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. Furthermore, we believe the exclusion of more significant non-operational items enables comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis. Specifically, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the Company’s overall performance without regard to its capitalization (debt vs. equity) or its income taxes and to perform trend analysis of the Company’s performance over time. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts net loss attributable to Altisource for the impact of more significant non-recurring items, amortization expense relating to prior acquisitions (some of which fluctuates with revenue from certain customers and some of which is amortized on a straight-line basis) and non-cash share-based compensation expense which can fluctuate based on vesting schedules, grant date timing and the value attributable to awards. Our effective income tax rate can vary based on the jurisdictional mix of our income. Additionally, as the Company’s capital expenditures have significantly declined over time, it provides a measure for management to evaluate the Company’s performance without regard to prior capital expenditures. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as one of the measures in determining bonus compensation for certain employees. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information for the same reasons that management finds the measure useful.
It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance the understanding of Altisource’s GAAP financial information, and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. The non-GAAP financial information should not be unduly relied upon.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the income tax provision, interest expense (net of interest income), depreciation and amortization, intangible asset amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of business, sales tax accrual, loss on BRS portfolio sale, other assets write-down from business exits and restructuring charges and/or cost of cost savings initiatives from net loss attributable to Altisource. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents, in any period, Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenue for such period.
These non-GAAP measures are presented as supplemental information and reconciled to the appropriate GAAP measure in this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Preliminary reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are as follows:

ALTISOURCE ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY JULY 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS, A STATUS UPDATE ON THE JULY 2023 COST REDUCTION PLAN, GUIDANCE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2023, AND AN UPDATED RUN-RATE SCENARIO
Luxembourg, September 7, 2023 - Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASPS), a leading provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries, today announced certain preliminary unaudited financial results for July 2023, a status update on the July 2023 cost reduction plan, updated guidance for adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the second half of 2023, and an updated Run-Rate scenario.
“Altisource continues to execute on its strategy to recover from the impact of the pandemic. We believe our July 2023 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $0.1 million, updated outlook for the third quarter of break-even to $1 million of Adjusted EBITDA(1), and outlook for full year 2023 positive Adjusted EBITDA(1) demonstrates our progress. We are also on plan to reduce annual cash operating expenses by $13.5 million compared to the annualized second quarter cash operating expenses. Based upon our progress in the third quarter, we estimate that we will generate $1.0 million per month of expense savings for the month of September 2023,” said William B. Shepro, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Altisource.
The Company has prepared the preliminary estimates of financial results for the month of July 2023 in good faith based upon the most recent information available to management from the Company’s internal reporting procedures as of the date of this press release. The estimated amounts set forth herein are preliminary, unaudited and subject to further completion, reflect our current good faith estimates, are subject to additional financial closing procedures and may be revised as a result of management’s further review of the Company’s results and any adjustments that may result from the completion of the interim review of the third quarter 2023 consolidated financial statements. The Company and its auditors have not completed its normal quarterly review as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2023, and there can be no assurance that the Company’s final results for this quarterly period will not differ from these estimates. Any such changes could be material.

July 2023 Cost Reduction Plan Status
In July 2023, Altisource began to implement a company-wide cost reduction plan that the Company estimates will reduce annual cash operating expenses by $13.5 million compared to annualized second quarter cash operating expenses. The Company believes that it is on track to achieve the cost reduction plan and estimates the monthly cash operating costs to be $1.0 million lower beginning in September 2023 compared to the average second quarter 2023 monthly cash operating costs.
As of August 31, 2023, the Company has approximately 1,100 full time employees, excluding contractors.
Second Half 2023 Guidance
•Third quarter Adjusted EBITDA(1) forecasted to be between $0 and $1.0 million
•Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA(1) forecasted to be positive
•Full year 2023 Adjusted EBITDA(1) forecasted to be positive
Run-Rate Scenario Update
•The Run-Rate scenario is intended to provide sensitivity with respect to our Servicer and Real Estate segment assuming the default market returns to a normal, pre-pandemic foreclosure environment; we may be unable to predict the manner and timing of the recovery of the default market

Run-Rate Scenario Assumptions
Servicer and Real Estate Segment Assumptions:
•Default Market:
•The default market will return to a normal, pre-pandemic foreclosure environment
•Default Service revenue - Ocwen Financial Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, "Ocwen")-serviced loans:
•Existing Ocwen-serviced non-government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) loan portfolios (loan count) decline 10% per year for three years
•Existing Ocwen-serviced GSE and Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) loan portfolio acquisitions (net of run-off) increase by 5% per year for three years reflecting portfolio acquisitions, net of run-off
•Average delinquency rates for Ocwen-serviced portfolios in line with Q4’19 levels
•Service revenue per delinquent loan for Ocwen-serviced non-GSE loans reflects 2019 revenue per delinquent loan, adjusted down for the estimated field services, valuation and title referrals associated with Rithm Capital Corporation (together with one or more of its subsidiaries or one or more of its subsidiaries individually, "Rithm") (formerly New Residential Investment Corporation)’s portfolios that it redirected to its vendor subsidiaries
•Service revenue per delinquent loan for Ocwen-serviced GSE and FHA loans reflects 2019 revenue per delinquent loan, adjusted upward to reflect our May 2021 expanded relationship with Ocwen to include estimated normalized field services and Hubzu referrals revenue from FHA, Veterans Affairs and United States Department of Agriculture portfolios
•Default Service revenue - Non-Ocwen and Non-Rithm customers:
•Total number of U.S. mortgages remains flat
•Percentage of seriously delinquent loans generally consistent with 2018 market levels
•Service revenue per active foreclosure based on 2019 levels
•Non-default Service revenue:
•Non-default related revenue in the Servicer and Real Estate segment held constant relative to 2019
Origination Segment Assumptions:
•Origination revenue held constant relative to LTM(2) Q2’23 based on current interest rate environment
Corporate and Other Segment Assumptions:
•Note: 2019 Service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) in Corporate and Other includes businesses that have been sold or discontinued; no Service revenue for Corporate and Other is assumed in the Run-Rate scenario
Adjusted EBITDA Margins and Corporate and Other Costs Assumptions:
•Servicer and Real Estate segment Adjusted EBITDA margins(1) are improving from revenue growth, product mix and efficiency initiatives
•Origination segment Adjusted EBITDA margins(1) are equal to 2019 Origination Adjusted EBITDA margins(1)
•Corporate and Other costs held constant relative to LTM(2) Q2’23

NON-GAAP MEASURES

(preliminary and unaudited)
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA margin, which are presented elsewhere in this press release, are non-GAAP measures used by management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of the Company’s financial information to measure Altisource’s performance and does not purport to be alternative to net loss attributable to Altisource, including current portion, as measures of Altisource’s performance. We believe these measures are useful to management, existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information in evaluating operating profitability more on the basis of continuing costs as it excludes amortization expense related to acquisitions that occurred in prior periods and non-cash share-based compensation, as well as the effect of more significant non-operational items from earnings. We believe these measures are also useful in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management’s evaluation of business performance. Furthermore, we believe the exclusion of more significant non-operational items enables comparability to prior period performance and trend analysis. Specifically, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the Company’s overall performance without regard to its capitalization (debt vs. equity) or its income taxes and to perform trend analysis of the Company’s performance over time. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts net loss attributable to Altisource for the impact of more significant non-recurring items, amortization expense relating to prior acquisitions (some of which fluctuates with revenue from certain customers and some of which is amortized on a straight-line basis) and non-cash share-based compensation expense which can fluctuate based on vesting schedules, grant date timing and the value attributable to awards. Our effective income tax rate can vary based on the jurisdictional mix of our income. Additionally, as the Company’s capital expenditures have significantly declined over time, it provides a measure for management to evaluate the Company’s performance without regard to prior capital expenditures. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA as one of the measures in determining bonus compensation for certain employees. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information for the same reasons that management finds the measure useful.
It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance the understanding of Altisource’s GAAP financial information, and it should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. The non-GAAP financial information presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. The non-GAAP financial information should not be unduly relied upon.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by removing the income tax provision, interest expense (net of interest income), depreciation and amortization, intangible asset amortization expense, share-based compensation expense, (gain) loss on sale of business, sales tax accrual, loss on BRS portfolio sale, other assets write-down from business exits and restructuring charges and/or cost of cost savings initiatives from net loss attributable to Altisource. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents, in any period, Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenue for such period.
These non-GAAP measures are presented as supplemental information and reconciled to the appropriate GAAP measure in this press release.
Preliminary reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures are as follows:
