NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business
Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., together with its subsidiaries (which may be referred to as “Altisource,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is a premier marketplace and transaction solutions provider for the real estate, mortgage and consumer debt industries. Altisource’s proprietary business processes, vendor and electronic payment management software and behavioral science-based analytics improve outcomes for marketplace participants.
We are incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg and are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “ASPS.”
We conduct our operations through three reportable segments: Mortgage Services, Financial Services and Technology Services. In addition, we report our corporate related expenditures and eliminations separately (see Note 23 for a description of our business segments).
Basis of Accounting and Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Altisource consolidates threetwo cooperative entities which are managed by the Mortgage Partnership of America, L.L.C. (“MPA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource,Altisource: Best Partners Mortgage Cooperative, Inc., doing business as the Lenders One® mortgage cooperative (“Lenders One”), and Best Partners Mortgage Brokers Cooperative, Inc., doing business as the Wholesale One® mortgage cooperative (“Wholesale One”) and Best Partners Residential Investor Cooperative, Inc., doing business as the Residential Investor One™ cooperative (“Residential Investor One”). MPA provides services to Lenders One under a management agreement that ends on December 31, 2025 (with renewals for three successive five-year periods at MPA’s option) and to Wholesale One and Residential Investor One under a management agreementsagreement that endends on July 8, 2039 (with automatic renewals for three successive five-year periods) and March 12, 2040 (with automatic renewals for three successive five-year periods), respectively..
The management agreements between MPA and Lenders One Wholesale One and Residential InvestorWholesale One, pursuant to which MPA is the management company, represent variable interests in variable interest entities. MPA is the primary beneficiary of Lenders One Wholesale One and Residential InvestorWholesale One as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each of these cooperatives’ economic performance and the right to receive benefits from each of these cooperatives. As a result, Lenders One Wholesale One and Residential InvestorWholesale One are presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements on a consolidated basis with the interests of the members reflected as non-controlling interests. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, Lenders One had total assets of $2.1$2.8 million and total liabilities of $1.0$1.3 million.  As of December 31, 2015, Lenders One had total assets of $4.9 million and total liabilities of $3.7 million. As of March 31,June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Wholesale One and Residential Investor One each had less than $0.1 million in total assets and less than $0.1 million in total liabilities.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The three-tier hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value, which prioritizes the inputs used in the methodologies of measuring fair value for assets and liabilities, is as follows:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of assets or liabilities.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities being measured and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
Recently Adopted Accounting PronouncementsPronouncement
On January 1, 2016, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, became effective. As a result of this accounting change, the Company now presents debt issuance costs, net as a direct deduction from the related debt (see Note 12). Prior to January 1, 2016, debt issuance costs, net were included in other assets. We adopted the standard retrospectively; accordingly,retrospectively. Accordingly, prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the newthis standard is an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, in response to stakeholders’ requests to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 and in consideration of feedback received through extensive outreach with preparers, practitioners and users of financial statements, the FASB deferred the effective date for all entities by one year. This new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.
In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This standard will require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The standard also simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value. It also amends certain financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This new standard introduces a new lessee model that brings substantially all leases on the balance sheet. The standard will require companies to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on their balance sheets and disclose key information about leasing arrangements in their financial statements. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application of this standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.
In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net). This new standard clarifies guidance on principal versus agent considerations in connection with revenue recognition. When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, an entity is required to determine whether the nature of its promise is to provide the specified good or service itself (that is, the

entity is a principal) or to arrange for that good or service to be provided by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). An entity is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer. The guidance includes

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)



indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer. This new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.
In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This new standard simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard will require companies to recognize all award-related excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in their income statements, classify any excess tax benefits as an operating activity in their statements of cash flows, provide companies with the option of estimating forfeitures or recognizing forfeitures as they occur, modify the statutory tax withholding requirements and classify cash paid by employers when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes as an investing activity in their statements of cash flows. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application of this standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.
In April 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. This new standard provides guidance on identifying performance obligations in a contract with a customer and clarifying several licensing considerations, including whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time) and guidance on sales-based and usage-based royalties. This new standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this newguidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.

In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. This standard addresses collectability, sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, non-cash consideration, contract modifications at transition and completed contracts at transition. This standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted, although not prior to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its results of operations and financial position.

Certain of the Service Agreements, among other things, contain a “most favored nation” provision and the parties to the Service Agreements have the right to renegotiate pricing. Certain agreements also prohibit Ocwen from establishing fee-based businesses that would directly or indirectly compete with Altisource’s services with respect to the Homeward Residential, Inc. and Residential Capital, LLC portfolios. In addition, Ocwen purchases certain origination services from Altisource under an agreement that extends through January 2017.
Revenue from Ocwen primarily consists of revenue earned directly from Ocwen and revenue earned from the loans serviced by Ocwen when Ocwen designates us as the service provider. Revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of segment and consolidated revenue was as follows for the three months ended March 31:follows:

We earn additional revenue related to the portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen selects Altisource as the service provider. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recognized revenue of $46.6$98.0 million and $53.5$108.0 million, respectively ($51.3 million and $54.5 million for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively), related to the portfolios serviced by Ocwen when a party other than Ocwen selected Altisource as the service provider. These amounts are not included in deriving revenue from Ocwen as a percentage of revenue in the table above.
NOTE 3 — TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Through January 16, 2015, William C. Erbey served as our Chairman as well as the Executive Chairman of Ocwen and Chairman of each of Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. (“HLSS”), Altisource Residential Corporation (“Residential”) and Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC”). Effective January 16, 2015, Mr. Erbey stepped down as the Executive Chairman of Ocwen and Chairman of each of Altisource, HLSS, Residential and AAMC and is no longer a member of the Board of Directors for any of these companies. Consequently, these companies are no longer related parties of Altisource, as defined by FASB ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures. The disclosures in this note are limited to the periods that each of Ocwen, HLSS, Residential and AAMC were related parties of Altisource and are not necessarily reflective of current activities with these former related parties.
Ocwen
Revenue
For the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015, we estimated that we generated revenue from Ocwen of $22.9 million. Services provided to Ocwen during such periods included real estate asset management and sales, residential property valuation, trustee management services, property inspection and preservation, insurance services, charge-off mortgage collections, information technology infrastructure management and software applications.
We record revenue we earn from Ocwen under the Service Agreements at rates we believe to be comparable market rates as we believe they are consistent with the fees we charge to other customers and/or fees charged by our competitors for comparable services.
Cost of Revenue and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
At times, we have used Ocwen’s contractors and/or employees to support Altisource related services. Ocwen generally billed us for these contractors and/or employees based on their fully-allocated cost. Additionally, through March 31, 2015, we purchased certain data relating to Ocwen’s servicing portfolio in connection with a Data Access and Services Agreement. Based upon our previously provided notice, the Data Access and Services Agreement was terminated effective March 31, 2015. For the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015, we estimated that we incurred $1.9 million of expenses related to these items. These amounts are reflected as a component of cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
We provided certain other services to Ocwen and Ocwen provided certain other services to us in connection with Support Services Agreements. These services primarily included such areas as vendor management, corporate services and facilities related services. Billings for these services were generally based on the fully-allocated cost of providing the service based on an estimate of the time and expense of providing the service or estimates thereof. Of the January 2015 billings to Ocwen, we estimated that $0.1 million related to the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015. Of the January 2015 billings from Ocwen, we estimated that $0.3 million related to the period from January 1, 2015 through January 16, 2015. These amounts are reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

On July 17, 2015, we acquired CastleLine Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“CastleLine”) for $33.4 million.

On November 27, 2012, Altisource Solutions S.à r.l., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., entered into a senior secured term loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the term loan (collectively, the “Guarantors”). We subsequently amended the senior secured term loan agreement to increase the principal amount of the senior secured term loan and, among other changes, re-establish the $200.0 million incremental term loan facility accordion, lower the interest rate, extend the maturity date by approximately one year and increase the maximum amount of Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the senior secured term loan agreement).
After giving effect to the third amendment entered into on August 1, 2014, the term loan must be repaid in equal consecutive quarterly principal installments of $1.5 million, which commenced on September 30, 2014, with the balance due at maturity. All amounts outstanding under the senior secured term loan agreement will become due on the earlier of (i) December 9, 2020 and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders or as otherwise provided in the loan agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default under the senior secured term loan agreement.
In addition to the scheduled principal payments, subject to certain exceptions, the term loan is subject to mandatory prepayment upon issuances of debt, casualty and condemnation events and sales of assets, as well as from a percentage of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow if the leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of the senior secured

term loan (the percentage increases if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00). No mandatory prepayments were owed for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016.
In Aprilthe second quarter of 2016, we repurchased portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $51.0 million at a weighted average discount of 13.2%, recognizing a net gain of $5.5 million on the early extinguishment of debt. In the second quarter of 2015, we repurchased a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $28.0$16.0 million at a 13.1% discount. After9.0% discount, recognizing a net gain of $1.1 million on the April 2016 repurchase, net long-term debt was $499.5 million. The early extinguishment of a portion of the debt will be recordeddebt. The net gains were included in other income (expense), net in the second quartercondensed consolidated statements of 2016.operations and comprehensive income.
The term loan bears interest at rates based upon, at our option, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate. Adjusted Eurodollar Rate loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (x) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for the applicable interest period and (y) 1.00% plus (ii) a 3.50% margin. Base Rate 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) a 2.50% margin. The interest rate at March 31,June 30, 2016 was 4.50%.
Term loan payments are guaranteed by the Guarantors and are secured by a pledge of all equity interests of certain subsidiaries as well as a lien on substantially all of the assets of Altisource Solutions S.à r.l. and the Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions.
The senior secured term loan agreement includes covenants that restrict or limit, among other things, our ability to: create liens and encumbrances; incur additional indebtedness; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; make Restricted Junior Payments including share repurchases, dividends and repayment of junior indebtedness; change lines of business; amend material debt agreements or other material contracts; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into sale/leaseback transactions; grant negative pledges or agree to such other restrictions relating to subsidiary dividends and distributions; make changes to our fiscal year and engage in mergers and consolidations.
The senior secured term loan agreement contains certain events of default, including (i) failure to pay principal when due or interest or any other amount owing on any other obligation under the senior secured term loan agreement within five days of becoming due, (ii) material incorrectness of representations and warranties when made, (iii) breach of covenants, (iv) failure to pay principal

or interest on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million when due, (v) default on any other debt that equals or exceeds $40.0 million that causes, or gives the holder or holders of such debt the ability to cause, an acceleration of such debt, (vi) occurrence of a Change of Control, (vii) bankruptcy and insolvency events, (viii) entry by a court of one or more judgments against us in an amount in excess of $40.0 million that remain unbonded, undischarged or unstayed for a certain number of days after the entry thereof, (ix) the occurrence of certain ERISA events and (x) the failure of certain Loan Documents to be in full force and effect. If any event of default occurs and is not cured within applicable grace periods set forth in the senior secured term loan agreement or waived, all loans and other obligations could become due and immediately payable and the facility could be terminated.
As of March 31,June 30, 2016, debt issuance costs were $5.9$5.1 million, net of $4.4$5.2 million of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2015, debt issuance costs were $6.2 million, net of $4.1 million of accumulated amortization.
Interest expense on the term loans totaled $6.5$12.5 million and $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively ($6.0 million and $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31,second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively.respectively).

NOTE 14 — FAIR VALUE
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
Available for sale securities are carried at fair value and consist of 4.1 million shares of Residential common stock with a fair value of $38.1 million as of June 30, 2016 (no comparative amount as of December 31, 2015). Available for sale securities are measured using Level 1 inputs as these securities have quoted prices in active markets.
In accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, liabilities for contingent consideration are reflected at fair value and adjusted each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. Liabilities for acquisition related contingent consideration were recorded in connection with the acquisitions of certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Mortgage Builder Software, Inc. and Owners Advantage, LLC in 2014. The total fair value of the liabilities for acquisition related contingent consideration was $4.0$4.1 million and $3.9 million as of March 31,June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. We measure the liabilities for acquisition related contingent consideration using Level 3 inputs as they are determined based on the present value of future estimated payments, which include sensitivities pertaining to discount rates and financial projections.
AvailableIn the second quarter of 2015, we reached an agreement with the former owners of Equator, LLC (“Equator”) to extinguish any liability for sale securities are carried at fair valuethe Equator related contingent consideration (“Equator Earn Out”) in exchange for $0.5 million. In connection with this settlement, we reduced the liability for the Equator Earn Out to $0 and consistrecognized a $7.6 million reduction in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of 2.5 million shares of Residential common stock as of March 31, 2016 (no comparative amount as of December 31, 2015).  As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of available for sale securities was $30.4 million (no comparative amount as of December 31, 2015).  Available for sale securities are measured using Level 1 inputs as these securities have quoted prices in active markets.operations and comprehensive income.

Our financial assets and financial liabilities primarily include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and long-term debt. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at amounts that approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments and were measured using Level 1 inputs. The fair value of our long-term debt is based on quoted market prices. Based on the frequency of trading, we do not believe that there is an active market for our debt. Therefore, the quoted prices are considered Level 2 inputs.
NOTE 15 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Repurchase Plan
On May 20, 2015,18, 2016, our shareholders approved a new share repurchase program, which replaced the previous share repurchase program. Under the new program, we are authorized to purchase up to 3.04.6 million shares of our common stock, based on a limit of 15%25% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval at a minimum price of $1.00 per share and a maximum price of $500.00 per share. This is in addition to amounts previously purchased under prior programs. Under the existing and prior programs, we purchased 0.50.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $25.17$25.79 per share during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 0.21.6 million shares at an average price of $23.44$28.02 per share during the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 (0.3 million shares at an average price of $26.74 per share for the second quarter of 2016 and 1.4 million shares at an average price of $28.57 per share for the second quarter of 2015). As of March 31,June 30, 2016, approximately 1.04.5 million shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the new program. Our senior secured term loan limits the amount we can spend on share

repurchases and may prevent repurchases in certain circumstances. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, approximately $333 million was available to repurchase our common stock under our senior secured term loan.
Share-Based Compensation
We issue share-based awards in the form of stock options and certain other equity-based awards for certain employees and officers. We recorded share-based compensation expense of $1.9$3.6 million and $0.4$1.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.respectively ($1.7 million and $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively). As of March 31,June 30, 2016, estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards amounted to $10.4$9.0 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately 2.652.58 years.
Stock Options
Stock option grants are composed primarily of a combination of service-based, market-based and market-basedperformance-based options.
Service-Based Options. These options generally vest over three or four years with equal annual cliff-vesting and expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of 1.2 million service-based awards were outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2016.
Market-Based Options. These option grants generally have two components, each of which vests only upon the achievement of certain criteria. The first component, which we refer to internally as “ordinary performance” grants, consists of two-thirds of the market-based grant and begins to vest if the stock price is at least double the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 20% over the exercise price. The remaining third of the market-based options, which we refer to internally as “extraordinary performance” grants, begins to vest if the stock price is at least triple the exercise

price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 25% over the exercise price. The vesting schedule forFor substantially all market-based awards, is 25% vest upon the achievement of the criteria and thereafter the remaining 75% vest thereafter in three equal annual installments. Market-based options generally expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service, unless the performance criteria is met prior to termination of service or in the final three years of the option term, in which case vesting will generally continue in accordance with the provisions of the award agreement. A total of 2.01.8 million market-based awards were outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2016.
Performance-Based Options. These option grants begin to vest upon the achievement of certain business unit specific financial measures. 25% of the awards vest upon the achievement of the performance criteria and the remaining 75% vest thereafter in three equal annual installments. The award of performance-based options is adjusted based on the level of achievement specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is below a certain threshold, the award is cancelled. The options expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of 0.1 million performance-based awards were outstanding at June 30, 2016.
The Company granted 0.1 million stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $27.48$27.43 per share) and less than 0.10.7 million stock options (at a weighted average exercise price of $26.42$23.17 per share) during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The fair valuevalues of the service-based and performance-based options waswere determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the fair value of the market-based options was determined using a lattice (binomial) model.

EARs provide participating employees of certain divisions of the Company with the potential to receive a percentage of the increase in the value of the applicable division during the term of the EARs. The Company has established EAR plans for three divisions: Consumer Analytics, Document Solutions and Marketplace Solutions. These EAR plans allow for the issuance of EARs representing up to 15% of each of these divisions. The EARs consist of service-based awards and performance-based awards. Service-based EARs generally vest in equal installments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Performance-based EARs generally begin to vest on the date certain performance criteria are achieved by the applicable division of the Company.

The participating employee will have the opportunity at certain times specified in the award agreement to exercise EARs that have vested and in exchange will receive share equivalency units, the number of which will be based on the increase in value of the division and the amount of EARs awarded to the participating employee that are exercised. After a holding period of six months

NOTE 19 — OTHER THAN TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT LOSSGAIN (LOSS) ON HLSS EQUITY SECURITIES

AND DIVIDENDS RECEIVED
During March 2015, we purchased 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $30.0 million (1,613,125 shares at an average price per share of $18.58).million. This investment was classified as available for sale. On April 6, 2015, HLSS completed the sale of substantially all of its assets to New Residential Investment Corp. (“NRZ”) and adopted a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution. During April 2015, we received liquidating dividends and other dividends from HLSS totaling $20.4 million and we sold all of our 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $7.7 million. As a result of these transactions, we recognized a net gain of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 and a net loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (no comparative amounts in 2016) in connection with our investment in HLSS.

liquidation and dissolution.  Based on HLSS’ sale of substantially all of its assets to NRZ, we determined that our investment in HLSS was other than temporarily impaired.  Accordingly, we recognized an other than temporary impairment loss on HLSS equity securities of $3.3 million in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income during the three months ended March 31, 2015. This amount reflected the difference between the cost and fair value of the HLSS equity securities as of March 31, 2015 (based on 1,613,125 shares at $16.54 per share) (no comparative amount in 2016).

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, 0.4 million options and 0.7 million options, respectively, that were anti-dilutive have been excluded from the computation of diluted EPS.EPS (0.4 million options and 0.7 million options for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively). These options were anti-dilutive and excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of our common stock. Also excluded from the computation of diluted EPS are 0.30.4 million options and 0.20.3 million options for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively (0.4 million and 0.3 million options for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively), granted for shares that are issuablebegin to vest upon the achievement of certain market and performance criteria related to our common stock price and an annualized rate of return to investors that have not yet been met.

NOTE 22 — COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS
Litigation
From time to time, we are involved in legal and administrative proceedings arising in the course of our business. We record a liability for these matters if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where the reasonable estimate of loss is a range, we record a best estimate of loss within the range.

On September 8, 2014, the West Palm Beach Firefighters’ Pension Fund filed a putative securities class action suit against Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain of its current or former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 with regard to disclosures concerning

pricing and transactions with related parties that allegedly inflated Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. share prices. The Court subsequently appointed the Pension Fund for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 35 and the Annuity Fund for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 35 as Lead Plaintiffs. On January 30, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint which added Ocwen Financial Corporation as a defendant, and seeks a determination that the action may be maintained as a class action on behalf of purchasers of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. securities between April 25, 2013 and December 21, 2014 and an unspecified amount of damages. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. moved to dismiss the suit on March 23, 2015. On September 4, 2015, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss, finding that the Lead Plaintiffs’ amended complaint failed to state a claim as to any of the defendants, but permitting the Lead Plaintiffs to file another amended complaint. Lead Plaintiffs subsequently filed second and third amended complaints with substantially similar claims and theories. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. moved to dismiss the third amended complaint on October 22, 2015. On December 22, 2015, the Court issued an order dismissing with prejudice all claims against Ocwen Financial Corporation and certain claims against Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the officer and director defendants, but denying the motion to dismiss as to other claims. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. intends to continue to vigorously defend this suit.

On February 11, 2015, W.A. Sokolowski, an alleged shareholder of Ocwen Financial Corporation, filed an amended shareholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen Financial Corporation (as a nominal defendant), certain of its current or former officers and directors, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other companies. The suit seeks recovery of an unspecified amount of damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by Ocwen Financial Corporation’s officers and directors, which were allegedly aided and abetted by Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other defendants. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on November 9, 2015. While that motion was pending, additional lawsuits alleging similar claims for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by current or former Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors were filed in or transferred to the Court. The Court subsequently consolidated these actions and denied Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.’s motion to dismiss the Sokolowski complaint without prejudice to re-file following appointment of lead counsel for the consolidated action and the filing or designation of an operative complaint. Lead counsel for plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Verified Shareholder Derivative Complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”) on March 8, 2016. The Consolidated Complaint alleges claims that Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., its subsidiary Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. and other defendants aided and abetted alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors and/or were unjustly enriched in connection with business dealings with Ocwen Financial Corporation. The Consolidated Complaint also seeks contribution from Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., its subsidiary Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. and other defendants for amounts Ocwen Financial Corporation paid in connection with a settlement with the New York State Department of Financial Services. The current deadline for defendants to respond to the Consolidated Complaint is May 13, 2016. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. filed motions to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint on May 13, 2016 and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit and to move to dismiss all claims against them.

lawsuit.
On March 26, 2015, Robert Moncavage, an alleged shareholder of Ocwen Financial Corporation, filed an amended shareholder derivative complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida against Ocwen Financial Corporation (as a nominal defendant), certain of its current or former officers and directors, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other companies. The suit seeks recovery of an unspecified amount of damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the current or former Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors, which were allegedly aided and abetted by Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other defendants. On November 9, 2015, the Court entered an order staying all proceedings in the case pending further order of the Court. If the litigation proceeds, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit and to move to dismiss all claims against it.

Altisource is unable to predict the outcomes of these lawsuits or reasonably estimate the potential loss, if any, arising from the suits, given that the forthcoming motionsmotion to dismiss in the second and third cases havecase has not yet been adjudicated, a stay has been entered in the third case and significant legal and factual issues remain to be determined in all three cases.

In addition to the matters referenced above, we are involved in legal actions in the course of our business, some of which seek monetary damages. We do not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, both individually and in the aggregate, will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Regulatory Matters
Periodically, we are subject to audits, examinations and investigations by federal, state and local governmental authorities and receive subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other requests for information from such governmental authorities in connection with their regulatory or investigative authority. We are currently responding to such inquiries from governmental authorities

Ocwen Related Matters

Ocwen is our largest customer and 56%55% of our revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 (55% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2016) was from Ocwen. Additionally, 19% of our revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 (20% of our revenue for the second quarter of 2016) was earned on the portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen selected Altisource as the service provider.

Ocwen has disclosed that it is subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, consent orders, inquiries, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings that have or could result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. While not all inclusive, regulatory actions to date have included subjecting Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placing certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights. Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, inquiries, requests for information and legal proceedings, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen.

As a result of the sale of substantially all of the assets of HLSS to NRZ in April of 2015, NRZ owns the rights to approximately 78% of Ocwen’s non-government-sponsored enterprise (“non-GSE”) servicing rights as of DecemberMarch 31, 2015.2016. Under an agreement between NRZ and Ocwen, NRZ has the right (not necessarily the obligation or ability) to transfer servicing away from Ocwen if Ocwen fails to achieve and maintain certain minimum servicer ratings on or after April 6, 2017.

Ocwen has also disclosed that in 2015 certain bondholders of Ocwen-serviced residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) alleged that Ocwen, as servicer defaulted on these servicing agreements. Ocwen has further disclosed that it has been directed by the trustee for two of the RMBS trusts to transfer servicing to another loan servicing company based on rating downgrades. Additional bondholders of RMBS may attempt to replace Ocwen as servicer as a result of such ratings downgrades or the alleged defaults.

All of the foregoing may have significant adverse effects on Ocwen’s business and our continuing relationships with Ocwen. For example, Ocwen may be required to alter the way it conducts business, including the parties it contracts with for services (including information technology and software services), it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose or sell some or all of its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing licenses. Additional regulatory actions or adverse financial developments may impose additional restrictions on or require changes in Ocwen’s business that could require it to sell assets or change its business operations. Any or all of these effects could result in our eventual loss of Ocwen as a customer or a reduction in the number and/or volume of services they purchase from us or the loss of other customers.

If any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue would be significantly lower and our results of operations would be materially adversely affected, including from the possible impairment or write-off of goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, other assets and accounts receivable:

Altisource loses Ocwen as a customer or there is a significant reduction in the volume of services they purchase from us
Ocwen loses or sells a significant portion or all of its non-GSE servicing rights or subservicing arrangements and Altisource fails to be retained as a service provider
Ocwen loses state servicing licenses in states with a significant number of loans in Ocwen’s servicing portfolio
Altisource fails to be retained as a service provider
The contractual relationship between Ocwen and Altisource changes significantly or there are significant changes to our pricing to Ocwen for services from which we generate material revenue

Management cannot predict the outcome of the Ocwen Related Matters or the impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these Ocwen Related Matters materially negatively impact Altisource, we believe the impact to Altisource would occur over an extended period of time and the variable nature of our cost structure would allow us to realign our cost structure in line with remaining revenue.

In this regard, we have a plan that we believe would allow us to efficiently execute on this realignment. We believe that transfers of Ocwen’s servicing rights to a successor servicer(s) would take an extended period of time because of the approval required from many parties, including regulators, rating agencies, RMBS trustees, lenders and others. During this period of time, we believe we would continue to generate revenue from the services we provide to the transferred portfolio. Additionally, we have several growth initiatives that focus on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base. Our major growth initiatives include:

Continue to grow our Servicer Solutions business

2324

Table of Contents
ALTISOURCE PORTFOLIO SOLUTIONS S.A.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)



several strategic initiatives that focus on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base. Our major strategic initiatives include:
Continue to grow our Servicer Solutions business
Continue to grow our Origination Solutions business
Continue to grow our Consumer Real Estate Solutions business
Continue to grow our Real Estate Investor Solutions business

We have an established sales and marketing strategy to support each of these initiatives.

Management believes our plans, together with current liquidity and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other cash needs. However, there can be no assurance that our plans would be successful or our operations would be profitable.

Escrow and Trust Balances

We hold customers’ assets in escrow and trust accounts at various financial institutions pending completion of certain real estate activities. We also hold cash in trust accounts at various financial institutions where contractual obligations mandate maintaining dedicated bank accounts for our Financial Services segment’s collections. These amounts are held in escrow and trust accounts for limited periods of time and are not included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts held in escrow and trust accounts were $63.8$86.2 million and $66.6 million at March 31,June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 23 — SEGMENT REPORTING

Our business segments are based upon our organizational structure, which focuses primarily on the services offered, and are consistent with the internal reporting used by our Chief Executive Officer (our Chief Operating Decision Maker) to evaluate operating performance and to assess the allocation of our resources.
We classify our businesses into three reportable segments. The Mortgage Services segment provides services that span the mortgage and real estate lifecycle and are typically outsourced by loan servicers, loan originators, home investors and other sellers and buyers of single family homes. The Financial Services segment provides collection and customer relationship management services primarily to debt originators and servicers (e.g., credit card, auto lending, retail credit and mortgage) and the utility, insurance and hotel industries. The Technology Services segment provides a portfolio of software, data analytics and information technology infrastructure management services that support the management of mortgage and real estate activities and marketplace transactions across the lifecycle. In addition, Corporate Items and Eliminations include eliminations of transactions between the reportable segments, interest expense and costs related to corporate support functions including executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, risk and sales and marketing costs not allocated to the business units. Intercompany transactions primarily consist of information technology infrastructure management services.

Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts we incur on behalf of our customers in performing our fee-based services, but we pass such costs directly on to our customers without any additional markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings of Lenders One Wholesale One and Residential InvestorWholesale One, consolidated entities not owned by Altisource, and are included in revenue and reduced from net income to arrive at net income attributable to Altisource.
Stock Repurchase Plan

Under the new program, we are authorized to purchase up to 3.04.6 million shares of our common stock, based on a limit of 15%25% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval at a minimum price of $1.00 per share and a maximum price of $500.00 per share. This is in addition to amounts previously purchased under prior programs. Under the existing and prior programs, we purchased 0.50.8 million shares of common stock at an average price of $25.17$25.79 per share during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 0.21.6 million shares at an average price of $23.44$28.02 per share during the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 (0.3 million shares at an average price of $26.74 per share for the second quarter of 2016 and 1.4 million shares at an average price of $28.57 per share for the second quarter of 2015).

Altisource’s VisionStrategy and Growth Initiatives
Altisource provides a suite of mortgage, real estate and consumer debt services, leveraging our technology platform and global operations. Altisource is focused on becoming the premier provider of real estate and mortgage marketplaces and related services to a broad and diversified customer base. Within the real estate and mortgage markets, we facilitate transactions and provide products, solutions and services related to home sales, home purchases, home rentals, home maintenance, mortgage origination and mortgage servicing.
Strategically, we are focused on (1) our four key business initiatives discussed below, (2) continuing to strengthen our compliance management system and (3) maintaining strong performance and relationships with our strategic customers.
Each of our four key business initiatives positionpositions Altisource to grow and diversify our customer and revenue base. We believe these initiatives address very large markets and directly leverage our core competencies and distinct competitive advantages. Our four strategic growth initiatives and a brief description of each are as follows:follow:
Mortgage market:
1.Continue to grow our Servicer Solutions business (the products, services and certain technologies typically used or licensed by loan servicers): We are focused on expanding services purchased by our existing customer base and attracting new customers. Even as delinquencies return to historical norms, we believe there is a very large addressable market for the services we provide, as well as a strong and increasing customer focus on regulatory compliance and operational quality. We are one of only a few service providers with a comprehensive offering of services and technologies on a national scale. We believe we are well positioned to gain market share as customers consolidate to larger, full-service vendors and continue to outsource services that have historically been performed in-house.

2.Continue to grow our Origination Solutions business (the products, services and technologies typically used or licensed by participants in the loan origination market): We are focused on building an industry leading, integrated origination services platform that provides end-to-end solutions (products, services and technology) to our customers, expand our product offerings to our existing client base and actively add new customers. We are leveraging our enterprise wide sales organization to offer our origination services to larger bank and non-bank originators and correspondents and plan to expand our middle market sales organization to address other prospects. We believe we are well positioned to gain market share as customers consolidate to larger full-service vendors and by offering our existing customers (e.g., the members of Lenders One, the customers of Mortgage Builder and CastleLine and our preferred vendors and partners) an attractive suite of products and services that meet their growing needs.

Real estate market:
3.Continue to grow our Consumer Real Estate Solutions business (the products, services and technologies typically used by self-directed(an online marketplace that connects consumer home buyers and sellers)home sellers and offers the related services) primarily through Owners.com: Owners.com provides self-directed home buyers and sellers with a full suite of real estate services from which to choose. We are focused on growing Owners.com by building brand awareness, driving customer engagement and increasing consumer adoption of our buy side and sell side brokerage services. With a growing segment of the population demonstrating a desire to engage in self-directed transactions, we believe Owners.com is well positioned to become a market leader.
4.Continue to grow our Real Estate Investor Solutions business (the products,(an online marketplace that connects home buyers and home sellers of one to four family rental homes and offers the related services to buy, manage and technologies typically used by participants in residential real estate investments)sell homes): We are focused on supporting the growth of our existing customers, expanding services purchased by our existing customer base and attracting new customers. With our real estate brokerage operation, vendor network, property management and renovation footprint, existing customer base and growing suite of technologies (e.g., Investability and RentRange), we believe we are well positioned to grow.

There can be no assurance that growth from our strategic initiatives will be successful or our operations will be profitable.

Ocwen Related Matters
Revenue from Ocwen represented 56%55% of our revenue for the threesix months ended March 31, 2016.June 30, 2016 (55% of consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2016). Additionally, 19% of our revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 (20% of consolidated revenue for the second quarter of 2016) was earned on the portfolios serviced by Ocwen, when a party other than Ocwen selected Altisource as the service provider.
Ocwen has disclosed that it is subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, consent orders, inquiries, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending legal proceedings that have or could result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen. While not all inclusive, regulatory actions to date have included subjecting Ocwen to independent oversight of its operations and placing certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights. Ocwen may become subject to future federal and state regulatory investigations, inquiries, requests for information and legal proceedings, any of which could also result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Ocwen (see Note 22 to the condensed consolidated financial statements). Management cannot predict the outcome of the Ocwen Related Matters or the impact they may have on Altisource. However, in the event these Ocwen Related Matters materially negatively impact Altisource, we believe the impact to Altisource would occur over an extended period of time and the variable nature of our cost structure would allow us to realign our cost structure in line with remaining revenue.
In this regard, we have a plan that we believe would allow us to efficiently execute on this realignment. We believe that transfers of Ocwen’s servicing rights to a successor servicer(s) would take an extended period of time because of the approval required from many parties, including regulators, rating agencies, residential mortgage-backed securities trustees, lenders and others. During this period of time, we believe we would continue to generate revenue from the services we provide to the transferred portfolio. Additionally, we have several growthstrategic initiatives that focus on diversifying and growing our revenue and customer base. Our major growthstrategic initiatives are described in Altisource’s Visionthe Strategy and Growth Initiatives section above. We have an established sales and marketing strategy to support each of these initiatives.
Management believes our plans, together with current liquidity and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other cash needs. However, there can be no assurance that our plans wouldwill be successful or our operations wouldwill be profitable.

Factors Affecting Comparability

The following items may impact the comparability of our results:

The average number of loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing was 1.5 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to 2.42.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 (1.5 million for the second quarter of 2016 and 2.2 million for the second quarter of 2015). The average number of delinquent non-GSE loans serviced by Ocwen on REALServicing was 238230 thousand for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to 310295 thousand for the threesix months ended March 31, 2015;June 30, 2015 (222 thousand for the second quarter of 2016 and 279 thousand for the second quarter of 2015);
In the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $51.0 million at a weighted average discount of 13.2%, recognizing a net gain of $5.5 million on the early extinguishment of debt; in the second quarter of 2015, we repurchased a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9.0% discount, recognizing a net gain of $1.1 million on the early extinguishment of debt;
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we purchased 4.1 million shares of Residential common stock for $48.2 million. In the second quarter of 2016, we incurred expenses of $3.4 million and earned dividends of $1.0 million related to this investment (no comparative amounts in 2015);
On October 9, 2015, we acquired GoldenGator, LLC (doing business as RentRange) (“RentRange”), REIsmart, LLC (doing business as Investability) (“Investability”) and Onit Solutions, LLC, a support company for RentRange and Investability, (collectively, “RentRange and Investability”) for $24.8 million, composed of $17.5 million in cash and 247 thousand shares of restricted common stock of the Company with a value of $7.3 million as of the closing date;

Of the cash payable following acquisition, $3.8 million is contingent on certain future employment conditions of certain of the sellers, and therefore excluded from the purchase price;
ForIn the three monthssecond quarter of 2015, we paid the former owners of Equator, LLC (“Equator”) $0.5 million to extinguish any liability for Equator related contingent consideration (“Equator Earn Out”). In connection with this settlement, we reduced the liability for the Equator Earn Out to $0 and recognized a $7.6 million increase in earnings;

Effective March 31, 2015, we terminated the Data Access and Services Agreement with Ocwen.

Revenue
We recognized service revenue of $234.3$475.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, a 13%7% increase compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 ($241.3 million for the second quarter of 2016, a 2% increase compared to the second quarter of 2015). The increase was primarily due toincreases were driven by revenue growth in the asset management services businesses primarily from higher volumes of property inspection and preservation referrals, growth in the percentage of homes sold through auction on Hubzu and growth in the number of non-Ocwen properties sold on Hubzu in the Mortgage Services segment,segment. These increases were partially offset by a decreasedecreases in IT infrastructure services in the Technology Services segment, which are typically billed on a cost plus basis, decreases in software services revenue due to lower rates charged to Ocwen for certain services and a decline in the number of loans on REALServicing in the Technology Services segment and lower customer relationship management business as we have severed relationships with and reduced the volume of services provided to certain clients that were not profitable to us as well as lower mortgage charge-off collections in the Financial Services segment. During the fourth quarter of 2015, we began transitioning resources supporting technology infrastructure to Ocwen as a part of the previously announced separation of technology infrastructure. We anticipate this transition towill be largely complete during the fourth quarter of 2016. In addition, in early 2015, the pricing model to Ocwen for REO preservation services within asset management services changed. Historically, we billed (1) a fixed fee per REO asset (which was recognized as service revenue) and (2) actual vendor costs (which were recognized as reimbursable expenses revenue). For new REO referrals, beginning

in early 2015, our pricing is on a per service basis (which is recognized as service revenue). This change results in certain services that were historically reimbursable expenses revenue becoming service revenue. As a result, service revenue in the Mortgage Services segment asset management services businesses increased and reimbursable expenses revenue decreased.
Certain of our revenues are impacted by seasonality. More specifically, Mortgage Services’ revenue is impacted by REO sales and lawn maintenance, which tend to be at their lowest level during the fall and winter months and at their highest level during the spring and summer months. Financial Services’ asset recovery management revenue tends to be higher in the first quarter, as borrowers may utilize tax refunds and bonuses to pay debts, and generally declines throughout the rest of the year.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost of revenue principally includes payroll and employee benefits associated with personnel employed in customer service and operations roles, fees paid to external providers related to the provision of services, reimbursable expenses, technology and telecommunications costs, and depreciation and amortization of operating assets.
We recognized cost of revenue of $168.9$343.2 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, a 2% decrease1% increase compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 ($174.4 million for the second quarter of 2016, a 4% increase compared to the second quarter of 2015). The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation and benefits costs and reimbursable expenses, partially offsetincreases were driven by higher outside fees and services. The compensation and benefits cost decrease resulted from the 2015 implementation of cost savings initiatives and the transition of resources supporting technology infrastructure to Ocwen,services, partially offset by decreases in reimbursable expenses. Outside fees and services increased due to higher headcount to support certainvolumes of our growth initiativesproperty preservation referrals and the change in billing discussed in the Mortgagerevenue section above, partially offset for the six months ended June 30, 2016 by the March 31, 2015 termination of the Data Access and Services segment businesses.Agreement. Reimbursable expenses declined as a result of the change in billing discussed in the revenue section above. Outside feesCompensation and servicesbenefits cost increased, from a higher volumeparticularly in the second quarter of property inspection and preservation referrals2016, to support certain of our growth initiatives in the Mortgage Services segment, partially offset by cost savings initiatives and the change in billing discussedtransition of resources supporting technology infrastructure to Ocwen.
Gross profit decreased to $162.7 million, representing 34% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $167.8 million, representing 38% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (decreased to $81.4 million representing 34% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $100.2 million, representing 42% of service revenue for the second quarter of 2015). Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the second quarter of 2016 primarily due to higher growth in the lower margin property preservation services in Mortgage Services and from declines in revenue section above,in Technology Services that exceeded the decline in expenses. These decreases for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were partially offset by the March 31, 2015 termination of the Data Access and Services Agreement.
Gross profit increased to $81.3 million, representing 35% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $67.7 million, representing 33% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue increased from growth in service revenue in the higher margin Mortgage Services segment.Agreement with Ocwen.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Other Operating Expenses and Income from Operations
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) include payroll for personnel employed in executive, finance, law, compliance, human resources, vendor management, risk, sales and marketing roles. This category also includes occupancy costs, amortization of intangible assets, professional services, marketing costs, and depreciation and amortization.

We recognized SG&A of $53.6$107.8 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, a 2%4% increase compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015. ThisJune 30, 2015 ($54.2 million for the second quarter of 2016, a 5% increase wascompared to the second quarter of 2015). The increases were primarily driven bydue to higher amortization of intangible assets, partially offset by lower other costs. The amortization of intangible assets increasedoccupancy costs due to the acquisitionscompletion of RentRange and Investability as well as CastleLineseveral office relocations in 2015.
We recognized a gain in other operating expenses on the change in the second halffair value of 2015 and higher service revenue from the Homeward Residential, Inc. (“Homeward”) and Residential Capital, LLC (“ResCap”) portfolios. The decrease in other costs was primarily due to a favorable loss accrual adjustmentEquator Earn Out of $7.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2016.June 30, 2015 ($7.6 million for the second quarter of 2015) (no comparative amount in 2016). The liability for contingent consideration was reflected at fair value and adjusted each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. In 2015, we reached an agreement with the former owners of Equator to extinguish any liability for the Equator Earn Out. In connection with this settlement, we reduced the liability for the Equator Earn Out to $0 and recognized a $7.6 million increase in earnings.

Income from operations increaseddecreased to $27.7$54.9 million, representing 12% of service revenue, for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to $15.3$71.4 million, representing 7%16% of service revenue, for the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 (decreased to $27.2 million, representing 11% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2016 compared to $56.2 million, representing 24% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015). The increasedecrease in operating income margin iswas primarily driven by the higherresult of the decrease in gross profit margin, higher SG&A expenses and the 2015 Equator Earn Out gain, as discussed above.

Other Income (Expense), net

Other income (expense), net principally includes interest expense interest income and an other than temporary impairment loss on HLSS securities.non-operating gains and losses. Interest expense was $6.5$12.5 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.6$1.8 million compared to the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 ($6.0 million for the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2015), primarily from the 2016 and 2015 repurchases of $49.0 million of principal amountportions of our senior secured term loan.loan with an aggregate par value of $100.0 million.

In the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $51.0 million at a weighted average discount of 13.2%, recognizing a net gain of $5.5 million on the early extinguishment of debt. In the second quarter of 2015, we repurchased a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9.0% discount, recognizing a net gain of $1.1 million on the early extinguishment of debt. In the third and fourth quarters of 2015, we repurchased portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $33.0 million at a weighted average discount of 11.0%.
During the threesix months ended June 30, 2016, we purchased 4.1 million shares of Residential common stock for $48.2 million. In the second quarter of 2016, we incurred expenses of $3.4 million and earned dividends of $1.0 million related to this investment (no comparative amounts in 2015).
During March 31, 2015, we purchased 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock for $30.0 million in the open market.market for $30.0 million. This investment was classified as available for sale and reflected at fair value at March 31, 2015. Based on HLSS’sale. On April 6, 2015, HLSS completed the sale of substantially all of its assets to New Residential Investment Corp. (“NRZ”) and itsadopted a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution,dissolution. During April 2015, we determined thatreceived liquidating dividends and other dividends from HLSS totaling $20.4 million and we sold all of our 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $7.7 million. As a result of these transactions, we recognized a net gain of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 and a net loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (no comparative amounts in 2016) in connection with our investment in HLSS was other than temporarily impaired. Accordingly, we recognized an other than temporary impairment loss of $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 (no comparative amount in 2016). This amount reflects the difference between the cost and fair value of the HLSS securities as of March 31, 2015.

Income Tax Provision
We recognized an income tax provision of $2.2$5.5 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to $0.4$4.8 million for the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 ($3.3 million and $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively). Our effective tax rate was 10.4%12.2% and 8.3%8.6% for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and March 31,June 30, 2015, respectively.respectively (13.7% and 8.6% for the second quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively). Our effective tax rate differs from the Luxembourg statutory tax rate of 29.2% primarily due to the effect of certain deductions in Luxembourg from a tax ruling, which expires in 2019 unless extended or renewed, and the mix of income and losses with varying tax rates in multiple taxing jurisdictions. The higher effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the second quarter of 2016 were primarily the result of a change in the mix of revenue across jurisdictions. Our consolidated effective income tax rate for financial reporting purposes may change periodically due to changes in enacted tax rates, fluctuations in the mix of income earned from our domestic and international operations and our ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.


SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following section provides a discussion of pre-tax results of operations of our business segments. Transactions between segments are accounted for as third party arrangements for purposes of presenting segment results of operations. Intercompany transactions primarily consist of IT infrastructure management services.services and professional services billed by Technology Services. We reflect these as service revenue in the Technology Services segment and technology and telecommunications costs within cost of revenue and SG&A in the segment receiving the services. Certain prior year SG&A cost allocations from Corporate to the segments have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

We recognized service revenue of $183.2$377.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, a 27%22% increase compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 ($194.1 million for the second quarter 2016, a 17% increase compared to the second quarter of 2015). The increase wasincreases were primarily due to revenue growth in the asset management services businesses primarily from higher volumes of property inspection and preservation referrals, growth in the percentage of homes sold through auction on Hubzu and growth in the number of non-Ocwen properties sold on Hubzu. In addition, in early 2015, the pricing model to Ocwen for REO preservation services within asset management services changed. Historically, we billed (1) a fixed fee per REO asset (which was recognized as service revenue) and (2) actual vendor costs (which were recognized as reimbursable expenses revenue). For new REO referrals, beginning in early 2015, our pricing is on a per service basis (which is recognized as service revenue). This change results in certain services that were historically reimbursable expenses revenue becoming service revenue. As a result, service revenue in the asset management services businesses increased and reimbursable expenses revenue decreased.
Certain of our Mortgage Services businesses are impacted by seasonality. REO sales and lawn maintenance services within the asset management services business are generally lowest during the fall and winter months and highest during the spring and summer months.

Cost of revenue for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 of $121.5$249.1 million increased by 6%10% compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 ($127.6 million for the second quarter 2016, a 13% increase compared to the second quarter 2015). The increase isincreases were primarily attributable to higher outside fees and services and compensation and benefits costs, partially offset by a decrease in reimbursable expenses. Outside fees and services increased from a higher volume of property inspection and preservation referrals and the change in billing discussed in the revenue section above, partially offset for the six months ended June 30, 2016 by the

termination of the Data Access and Services Agreement effective March 31, 2015. Compensation and benefits costs increased from higher headcount to support certain of our growth initiatives. Reimbursable expenses declined primarily as a result of the change in billing discussed in the revenue section above.
Gross profit increased to $77.5$158.4 million, representing 42% of service revenue, for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to $62.2$146.9 million, representing 43%47% of service revenue, for the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 (decreased to $80.9 million representing 42% of service revenue for the second quarter 2016, compared to $84.7 million representing 51% of service revenue for the second quarter 2015). Gross profit as a percentage of service revenue decreased slightlyfrom a change in revenue mix, as we experienceda higher growthpercentage of revenue in the2016 was from lower margin property inspection and preservation services,services. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, this was partially offset by the March 31, 2015 termination of the Data Access and Services Agreement with Ocwen. For the second quarter of 2016, gross profit as a percentage of service revenue also decreased from increased revenue from lower margin property valuation services.
Our margins can vary substantially depending upon service revenue mix.

SG&A for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 of $27.0$55.6 million increased by 31%21% compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 ($28.6 million for the second quarter 2016, a 13% increase compared to the second quarter 2015). This increase was primarily driven by higher amortization of intangible assets, compensation and benefits costs and marketing costs, partially offset by lower other costs. The amortization of intangible assets increased due to the acquisitions of RentRange and Investability as well as CastleLine in the second half of 2015 and higher service revenue from the Homeward and ResCap portfolios. Compensation and benefits costs increased primarily due to growth of the sales and marketing organizations to support our revenue and customer diversification initiatives and higher headcount to support certain of our growth initiatives. The increase in marketing costs relates primarily to Owners.com, as we launched our buy side brokerage marketing campaign in two geographies in the first quarterhalf of 2016. The decrease in other costs was primarily due to a favorable loss accrual adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Income from operations increased to $50.5$102.8 million, representing 28%27% of service revenue, for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to $41.6$101.1 million, representing 29%33% of service revenue, for the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 (decreased to $52.3 million representing 27% of service revenue for the second quarter 2016, compared to $59.4 million, representing 36% of service revenue for the second quarter 2015). The decrease in operating income margin iswas primarily the result of lower gross profit margins from the change in the revenue mix and higher SG&A expenses, as discussed above.

SG&A for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 of $6.6$14.0 million decreased by 10%4% compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015($7.4 million for the second quarter of 2016, a 3% increase compared to the second quarter of 2015). The decrease was primarily driven by lower occupancy related costs related to facility consolidation during 2015, lower compensation from the implementation of cost savings initiatives in 2015 and lower amortization of intangible assets driven by the write-off of certain intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2015, partially offset by an increase in professional services due to higher legal and regulatory costs and higher depreciation and amortization related to the facility consolidations duringin 2015.
We recognized a gain in other operating expenses on the change in fair value of the Equator Earn Out of $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 ($7.6 million for the second quarter of 2015) (no comparative amount in 2016). The liability for contingent consideration was reflected at fair value and adjusted each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in earnings. In 2015, we reached an agreement with the former owners of Equator to extinguish any liability for the Equator Earn

Out. In connection with this settlement, we reduced the liability for the Equator Earn Out to $0 and recognized a $7.6 million increase in earnings.
Loss from operations decreased to $(7.8)was $(19.6) million, representing (19)(25)% of service revenue, for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to lossincome from operations of $(8.1)$0.8 million, representing (16)1% of service revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (loss from operations was $(11.8) million, representing (31)% of service revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.second quarter of 2016 compared to income from operations of $8.9 million, representing 16% of service revenue, for the second quarter of 2015). Loss from operations as a percentage of service revenue increased primarily due to the increase in gross loss and SG&A, as discussed above.

SG&A for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 of $22.4$29.7 million decreased by 26%13% compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015. TheJune 30, 2015 ($14.0 million for the second quarter 2016, a 4% decrease wascompared to the second quarter 2015). These decreases were primarily duedriven by increases in the allocations to lower compensation and benefits,the segments of occupancy related and marketing costs as a larger portion of these costs were allocatedrelated to the segmentssales and there was lower severancemarketing functions.
Other income (expense), net principally includes interest expense and other non-operating gains and losses. Other income (expense), net for the threesix months ended March 31, 2016. In addition, we recorded a $3.3 million loss related to an other than temporary impairment of HLSS securities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 with no comparative amount in 2016.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 of $6.5$10.0 million decreased by 9%35% compared to the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015($3.4 million for the second quarter 2016, a 31% decrease compared to the second quarter 2015). Interest expense was $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 ($6.0 million for the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2015), primarily from the 2016 and 2015 repurchases of $49.0 million of principal amount of our senior secured term loan.loan with an aggregate par value of $100.0 million.
In the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $51.0 million at a weighted average discount of 13.2%, recognizing a net gain of $5.5 million on the early extinguishment of debt. In the second quarter of 2015, we repurchased a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $16.0 million at a 9.0% discount, recognizing a net gain of $1.1 million on the early extinguishment of debt. In the third and fourth quarters of 2015, we repurchased portions of our senior secured term loan with an aggregate par value of $33.0 million at a weighted average discount of 11.0%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we purchased 4.1 million shares of Residential common stock for $48.2 million. In the second quarter of 2016, we incurred expenses of $3.4 million and earned dividends of $1.0 million related to this investment (no comparative amounts in 2015).
During March 2015, we purchased 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $30.0 million. This investment was classified as available for sale. On April 6, 2015, HLSS completed the sale of substantially all of its assets to NRZ and adopted a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution. During April 2015, we received liquidating dividends and other dividends from HLSS totaling $20.4 million and we sold all of our 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock in the open market for $7.7 million. As a result of these transactions, we recognized a net gain of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 and a net loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 (no comparative amounts in 2016) in connection with our investment in HLSS.
Intercompany revenue that is eliminated in consolidation decreasedincreased for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and the second quarter of 2016 compared to the threesix months ended March 31, 2015.June 30, 2015 and the second quarter of 2015, respectively. These intercompany transactions primarily consisted of IT infrastructure services which decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2016 comparedare billed on a cost plus basis and professional services billed by Technology Services. The increase is due to the three months ended March 31, 2015. This is consistent with the lower IT infrastructure services revenue describedincrease in the Technologytechnology costs related to higher volume of activity primarily in Mortgage Services revenue discussion above.segment. While the expenses are recognized in the Mortgage Services and Financial Services segments above, the elimination of these expenses is reflected in Corporate Items and Eliminations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our primary source of liquidity is cash flows from operations. We seek to deploy excess cash generated in a disciplined manner. Principally, we intend to use excess cash to develop complementary services and businesses that we believe will generate attractive margins in line with our core capabilities and strategy. We also use cash to repurchase and repay our senior secured term loan and repurchase shares of our common stock. We also consider and evaluate business acquisitions that may arise from time to time that are aligned with our strategy.

For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, we used $13.2$47.8 million ($46.3 million for the second quarter of 2016) to repay and repurchase Altisource common stock and make a contractual repaymentportions of ourthe senior secured term loan.

loan and make contractual repayments of the senior secured term loan and $19.7 million ($8.1 million for the second quarter of 2016) to repurchase shares of our common stock.
Senior Secured Term Loan
On November 27, 2012, Altisource Solutions S.à r.l., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., entered into a senior secured term loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the term loan. We subsequently amended the senior secured term loan agreement to increase the principal amount of the senior secured term loan and, among other changes, re-establish the $200.0 million incremental term loan facility accordion, lower the interest rate, extend the maturity date by approximately one year and increase the maximum amount of Restricted Junior Payments (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement; other capitalized terms, unless defined herein, are defined in the senior secured term loan agreement). The lenders of the senior secured term loan, as amended, have no obligation to provide any such additional debt under the accordion provision. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, $535.1$482.6 million was outstanding under the senior secured term loan agreement, as amended, compared to $536.6 million as of December 31, 2015.

After giving effect to the third amendment entered into on August 1, 2014, the term loan must be repaid in equal consecutive quarterly principal installments of $1.5 million, which commenced on September 30, 2014, with the balance due at maturity. All amounts outstanding under the senior secured term loan agreement will become due on the earlier of (i) December 9, 2020 and (ii) the date on which the loans are declared to be due and owing by the administrative agent at the request (or with the consent) of the Required Lenders or as otherwise provided in the loan agreement upon the occurrence of any event of default under the senior secured term loan agreement. However, if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the provisions of the senior secured term loan agreement, a percentage of cash flows must be used to repay principal (the percentage increases if the leverage ratio exceeds 3.50 to 1.00). No mandatory prepayments were required for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016. The interest rate as of March 31,June 30, 2016 was 4.50%.
In Aprilthe second quarter of 2016, we repurchased a portionportions of our senior secured term loan with aan aggregate par value of $28.0$51.0 million at a 13.1% discount. Theweighted average discount of 13.2%, recognizing a net gain of $5.5 million on the early extinguishment of a portion of the debt will be recorded in the second quarter of 2016.debt.

The debt covenants in the senior secured term loan agreement limit, among other things, our ability to incur additional debt, pay dividends and repurchase shares of our common stock. In the event we require additional liquidity, our ability to obtain it may be limited by the senior secured term loan.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities generally consist of the cash effects of transactions and events that enter into the determination of net income. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, we generated cash flows from operating activities of $29.0$69.4 million, or approximately $0.15 for every dollar of service revenue ($0.17 for every dollar of service revenue for the second quarter of 2016) compared to cash flows from operating activities of $54.8 million, or approximately $0.12 for every dollar of service revenue compared to negative cash flows from operating activities of $(15.9) million, or approximately $(0.08)for the six months ended June 30, 2015 ($0.30 for every dollar of service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015second quarter of 2015). The increase in cash flows from operations for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 compared to the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2015 is principally driven by higher net income, higher depreciation and amortization and intangible asset amortization, and lower unfavorable working capital changes. Changes in working capital were principally driven by higher collections of accounts receivable and the timing of payment of accounts payable and other accrued expenses, partially offset by higher prepaid expenses and other current assets.
Operating cash flows per service revenue dollar can be negatively impacted because of the nature of some of our services. Certain services are performed immediately following or shortly after the referral, but the collection of the receivable does not occur until a specific event occurs (e.g., the foreclosure is complete, the REO asset is sold, etc.) and our cash flows from operations may be negatively impacted when comparing one interim period to another.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities primarily include capital expenditures as well as purchases and purchasessales of available for sale securities. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, we spent $6.0$12.4 million and $3.9$21.4 million, respectively, primarily related to investments in IT infrastructure, the development of certain software applications and the completion of facility build-outs. Capital expenditures for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 increaseddecreased primarily as a result of higherlower spending on IT infrastructure, software applications and facilities.facilities, as several projects were completed in 2015, including several office relocations. In addition, during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, we purchased 2.54.1 million shares of Residential common stock for $29.4$48.2 million, including brokers commissions, inbrokers' commissions. During the open market and during the three monthsquarter ended March 31, 2015, we purchased 1.6 million shares of HLSS common stock for $30.0 million, including brokersbrokers' commissions, in the open market. The sharesCash proceeds received from the liquidating dividends and sale of the HLSS common stock were sold intotaled $28.1 million during the second quarter of 2015.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015 include activities associated with share repurchases, debt repayment, stock option exercises and payments to non-controlling interests. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, we spent $11.7$19.7 million and $4.0$44.0 million, respectively, increasing ouron repurchases of our common stock. During each of the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, we used $1.5$47.8 million and $17.7 million, respectively, to repay therepurchase portions of our senior secured term loan and make scheduled repayments of our senior secured term loan. Stock option exercises provided proceeds of $0.4$1.0 million and $0.2 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Distributions to non-controlling interests were $0.4$1.1 million and $0.7$1.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Liquidity Requirements after March 31,June 30, 2016
On September 12, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Mortgage Builder Software, Inc. (“Mortgage Builder”). The Mortgage Builder purchase agreement provides for the payment of up to $7.0 million in potential additional consideration based on Adjusted Revenue (as defined in the purchase agreement). We have estimated the fair value of the Mortgage Builder potential additional consideration to be $1.8 million as of March 31,June 30, 2016. The amount ultimately paid will depend on Mortgage Builder’s Adjusted Revenue in the three consecutive 12-month periods following closing. There have been no payments made related to the first 12-month period following closing.acquisition.
On November 21, 2014, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Owners Advantage, LLC (“Owners”). The Owners purchase agreement provides for a payment of up to $7.0 million of potential additional consideration based on Adjusted Revenue (as defined in the purchase agreement) earned in the two consecutive 12-month periods following closing. We estimated the fair value of the Owners contingent consideration to be $2.3 million as of March 31,June 30, 2016. The amount ultimately paid will depend on Owners’ Adjusted Revenue earned in the two consecutive 12-month periods following closing. There have been no payments made related to the first 12-month period following closing.acquisition.
On July 17, 2015, we acquired CastleLine. A portion of the purchase consideration totaling $10.5 million is payable to the sellers over four years from the acquisition date, including $3.8 million to be paid to certain of the sellers that is contingent on future employment. As of March 31,June 30, 2016, $1.9 million of the $10.5 million that is payable over four years from the acquisition date and none of the $3.8 million purchase consideration that is contingent on future employment has been paid to the sellers.
During the secondthird quarter of 2016, we expect to distribute $0.4 million to the Lenders One members representing non-controlling interests and repay $1.5 million of the senior secured term loan. In April 2016, we repurchased a portion of our senior secured term loan with a par value of $28.0 million at a 13.1% discount.
We believe that we will generate sufficient cash flows from operations to fund capital expenditures and required debt and interest payments for the next 12 months.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations from those identified in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, other than those that occur in the normal course of business. See Note 22 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES, ESTIMATES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
We prepare our interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In applying many of these accounting principles, we need to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and judgments, however, are often subjective. Actual results may be negatively affected based on changing circumstances. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts become known.
Our critical accounting policies are described in the MD&A section of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016. Those policies have not changed during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016.
Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the future adoption of new accounting pronouncements.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market Risk
Our financial market risk consists primarily of interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31,June 30, 2016, the interest rate charged on the senior secured term loan was 4.50%. The interest rate is calculated based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the senior secured term loan agreement) with a minimum floor of 1.00% plus 3.50%.

Based on the principal amount outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2016, a one percentage point increase in the Eurodollar Rate would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.3$2.2 million, based on the March 31,June 30, 2016 Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. There would be no change in our annual interest expense if there was a one percentage point decrease in the Eurodollar Rate.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are exposed to currency risk from potential changes in currency values of our foreign currencynon-United States dollar denominated expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows. Our most significant foreign currency exposure relates to the Indian rupee. Based on expenses incurred in Indian rupees during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2016, a one percentage point increase or decrease in value of the Indian rupee in relation to the United States dollar would increase or decrease our annual expenses by approximately $1.1$1.2 million.
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
Management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on such evaluation and solely because we have not completed remediation of the previously disclosed material weakness in internal control over financial reporting (see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015) related to ineffective controls related to the review of impairment indicators of long-lived assets, including premises and equipment, and the impairment analysis of indefinite-lived assets, primarily goodwill, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31,June 30, 2016. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We intend to implement remediation measures to address the above-described material weakness and enhance the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the review of impairment indicators of long-lived assets and the impairment analysis of indefinite-lived assets by taking the following actions:
Review the processes related to the impairment assessment of long-lived and indefinite-lived assets
Enhance review controls relating to the review of impairment indicators of long-lived assets and the impairment analysis of indefinite-lived assets
Test and evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of the control procedures
Assess the effectiveness of the remediation plan

AsWe intend to implement a remediation plan during the third and fourth quarters of March 31, 2016 we are preparing ourand complete remediation plans, but we do not yet have an expected timetable for the execution and completion of the remediation.material weakness by December 31, 2016. We believe the remediation measures will strengthen the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the review of impairment indicators of long-lived assets and the impairment analysis of indefinite-lived assets and remediate the material weakness identified. We will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these remediation measures and will make any changes and take such other actions that we deem appropriate given the circumstances. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until these plans have been fully implemented, tested and are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in legal and administrative proceedings arising in the course of our business. We record a liability for these matters if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where the reasonable estimate of loss is a range, we record a best estimate of loss within the range.
On September 8, 2014, the West Palm Beach Firefighters’ Pension Fund filed a putative securities class action suit against Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain of its current or former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 with regard to disclosures concerning pricing and transactions with related parties that allegedly inflated Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. share prices. The Court subsequently appointed the Pension Fund for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 35 and the Annuity Fund for the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 35 as Lead Plaintiffs. On January 30, 2015, Lead Plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint which added Ocwen Financial Corporation as a defendant, and seeks a determination that the action may be maintained as a class action on behalf of purchasers of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. securities between April 25, 2013 and December 21, 2014 and an unspecified amount of damages. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. moved to dismiss the suit on March 23, 2015. On September 4, 2015, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss, finding that the Lead Plaintiffs’ amended complaint failed to state a claim as to any of the defendants, but permitting the Lead Plaintiffs to file another amended complaint. Lead Plaintiffs subsequently filed second and third amended complaints with substantially similar claims and theories. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. moved to dismiss the third amended complaint on October 22, 2015. On December 22, 2015, the Court issued an order dismissing with prejudice all claims against Ocwen Financial Corporation and certain claims against Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the officer and director defendants, but denying the motion to dismiss as to other claims. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. intends to continue to vigorously defend this suit.

On February 11, 2015, W.A. Sokolowski, an alleged shareholder of Ocwen Financial Corporation, filed an amended shareholder derivative complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Ocwen Financial Corporation (as a nominal defendant), certain of its current or former officers and directors, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other companies. The suit seeks recovery of an unspecified amount of damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty by Ocwen Financial Corporation’s officers and directors, which were allegedly aided and abetted by Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other defendants. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on November 9, 2015. While that motion was pending, additional lawsuits alleging similar claims for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by current or former Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors were filed in or transferred to the Court. The Court subsequently consolidated these actions and denied Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A.’s motion to dismiss the Sokolowski complaint without prejudice to re-file following appointment of lead counsel for the consolidated action and the filing or designation of an operative complaint. Lead counsel for plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Verified Shareholder Derivative Complaint (the “Consolidated Complaint”) on March 8, 2016. The Consolidated Complaint alleges claims that Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., its subsidiary Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. and other defendants aided and abetted alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors and/or were unjustly enriched in connection with business dealings with Ocwen Financial Corporation. The Consolidated Complaint also seeks contribution from Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., its subsidiary Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. and other defendants for amounts Ocwen Financial Corporation paid in connection with a settlement with the New York State Department of Financial Services. The current deadline for defendants to respond to the Consolidated Complaint is May 13, 2016. Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and Beltline Road Insurance Agency, Inc. filed motions to dismiss the Consolidated Complaint on May 13, 2016 and intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit and to move to dismiss all claims against them.

On March 26, 2015, Robert Moncavage, an alleged shareholder of Ocwen Financial Corporation, filed an amended shareholder derivative complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida against Ocwen Financial Corporation (as a nominal defendant), certain of its current or former officers and directors, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other companies. The suit seeks recovery of an unspecified amount of damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duties by the current or former Ocwen Financial Corporation officers and directors, which were allegedly aided and abetted by Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and other defendants. On November 9, 2015, the Court entered an order staying all proceedings in the case pending further order of the Court. If the litigation proceeds, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit and to move to dismiss all claims against it.

Altisource is unable to predict the outcomes of these lawsuits or reasonably estimate the potential loss, if any, arising from the suits, given that the forthcoming motionsmotion to dismiss in the second and third cases havecase has not yet been adjudicated, a stay has been entered in the third case and significant legal and factual issues remain to be determined in all three cases.

In addition to the matters referenced above, we are involved in legal actions in the course of our business, some of which seek monetary damages. We do not believe that the outcome of these proceedings, both individually and in the aggregate, will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Regulatory Matters
Periodically, we are subject to audits, examinations and investigations by federal, state and local governmental authorities and receive subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other requests for information from such governmental authorities in connection with their regulatory or investigative authority. We are currently responding to such inquiries from governmental authorities relating to certain aspects of our business. We believe it is premature to predict the potential outcome or to estimate any potential financial impact in connection with these inquiries.
