Ocwen reports Q2 EPS of $0.25, Revenue up 39% to $105.8 million,
Income from operations up 103% to $63.6 million and Net income up 64% to $26.4 million
Atlanta, GA – (August 4, 2011) Ocwen Financial Corporation (“Ocwen” or the “Company”) (NYSE:OCN) today reported Net income of $26.4 million or $0.25 per share for the second quarter of 2011. This compares with Net income of $16.0 million or $0.15 per share for the second quarter of 2010. In the second quarter of 2011, the Company incurred $0.5 million in expenses related to the Litton transaction (see highlights below) and $0.7 million in incremental amortization of the up-front fees and original issue discount on its Senior Secured Term Loan (SSTL) related to the final prepayment of this loan. Normalizing for these items, Net income would have been $27.2 million or $0.25 per share. The second quarter of 2010 included $11.1 million in pre-tax normalizing items resulting in normalized Net income of $23.2 million or $0.23 per share.
Income from operations was $63.6 million for the second quarter of 2011 as compared to $31.3 million for the second quarter of 2010, up 103%. Revenue for the second quarter was $105.8 million, up 39% compared to the second quarter of 2010.
Second quarter business performance highlights:
|
●
|
Signed a definitive agreement, on June 5, 2011, to acquire Litton Loan Servicing, LP, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., including a servicing portfolio of approximately $41.2 billion in unpaid principal balance (as of March 31, 2011), a servicing platform, with primary offices in Texas and Georgia, and certain interest-only servicing strips. Simultaneously with the anticipated closing on September 1, 2011, Ocwen plans on issuing a new senior secured term loan for $575 million.
|
|
|
●
|
Completed 16,825 loan modifications of which 21% were HAMP modifications which was within our guidance of 14,500 to 17,500.
|
|
|
●
|
Generated cash flow from operations for the second quarter of 2011 of $262.3 million.
|
|
|
●
|
Reduced servicing advances by $225.8 million, or 12%.
|
|
|
●
|
Fully repaid the remaining $26.3 million balance on the SSTL obtained last year in connection with our acquisition of the HomEq servicing business from Barclays Bank.
|
|
|
●
|
Boarded 13,375 non-agency seasoned loans with an unpaid principal balance of $2.9 billion under a subservicing contract which contributed $1.1 billion in average UPB in the quarter.
|
“In the second quarter, we combined solid operating results with strong new business activity. When we close the Litton acquisition in the third quarter, it will increase the UPB that we service to over $100 billion.” said Ron Faris, President and CEO. “With our proven track record, we are unsurpassed among special servicers in our ability to efficiently take on large portfolios. And, because of our industry-leading technology and cost-structure, we are able to do this with only modest additions to infrastructure.”

Second Quarter 2011 Results
August 4, 2011
Faris added, “As we had expected, the number of loan modifications declined from a record 24,502 in the prior quarter to 16,825 in the second quarter, which is still at the higher end of the anticipated range. Moreover, despite continued headwinds from a slow recovery in the housing market, we reduced non-performing loans and REO from 24.7% of our UPB in the first quarter to 24.2% in the second quarter. Had it not been for the boarding of a highly delinquent subservicing portfolio, the drop in non-performing loans would have been nearly a full percentage point.”
Chairman William Erbey stated “I am particularly pleased that our continued robust cash-flow allows us to complete the Litton acquisition without issuing new equity. Upon closing the Litton acquisition, Ocwen will become the largest non-prime servicer. The company is well-positioned to take advantage of unique growth opportunities offered by continued consolidation of private-label servicing and increased demand for special servicing.” Erbey added, “We continue to make progress toward our goal of selling mortgage servicing assets to a new entity, Home Loan Servicing Solutions, while retaining a servicing contract. This is a part of our strategic plan for Ocwen to become an ‘equity-light’ fee-for-service business.”
The following items affected the results for the second quarter of 2010 and should be considered when comparing with 2011:
|
●
|
$5.1 million litigation accrual reflecting an agreement to settle the MDL Proceeding.
|
|
|
●
|
Non-cash write off of a $3.0 million interest in a real estate partnership deemed uncollectible during the quarter.
|
|
|
●
|
A loss of $1.7 million from the sale of $46.8 million of auction rate securities.
|
|
|
●
|
Professional services of $1.2 million incurred as part of the announced acquisition of HomEq.
|
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $48.4 million or $0.45 per share as compared to $36.9 million or $0.35 per share for the same period in 2010.
Servicing
In comparison to the second quarter of 2010, revenue was 39% higher, driven by growth in the portfolio as unpaid principal balance serviced increased from $55.2 billion at June 30, 2010 to $70.8 billion at June 30, 2011. Operating expenses declined by $0.4 million or 1% in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to 2010. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2010 included the $5.1 million accrual established in connection with the settlement of the MDL Proceeding. Operating expenses, excluding these costs, increased for the second quarter of 2011 because of portfolio growth which resulted in higher amortization of mortgage servicing rights and increased staffing.
Other expense, net increased by $8.7 million primarily due to interest expense on borrowings related to the HomEq acquisition and $0.8 million in hedge ineffectiveness.
Corporate Items and Other
In the second quarter of 2011, Loss before income taxes was $1.9 million as compared to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 2010. In the second quarter of 2010, we wrote off a $3.0 million interest in a real estate partnership and realized a loss of $1.7 million on the sale of auction rate securities. The loss in the second quarter of 2011 is mainly comprised of $1.6 million in losses on loans held for resale and $0.7 million in losses on our equity interest in two asset management vehicles.
