| • | Signed agreement that closed in July to purchase $300 million UPB of Fannie Mae MSRs. Expect to close additional $2.4 billion UPB of Fannie Mae MSRs on September 1, 2012. | |

| • | Uncollected and unrecognized servicing fees related to delinquent borrower payments not accrued on Ocwen’s balance sheet amounted $303 million at the end of June 2012, which is up by over 170% from the $112 million amount at the end of June 2011. | |
| • | Reduced overall delinquencies from 25.6% at the end of March 2012 to 24.5% at the end of June 2012. Excluding new business acquired in the quarter, non-performing loans overall would have declined to 23.8%. | |
| o | Reduced non-performing loans on the Litton portfolio by an additional 1.3 percentage points and Litton-related advances by $347.5 million (4.3 percentage points and $549.2 million year-to-date). | |
| o | Reduced non-performing loans on newly boarded Saxon and Chase portfolios by 1.8 and 0.7 percentage points, respectively. | |
| • | Completed 21,943 loan modifications. HAMP modifications accounted for 20.5% of completed modifications. | |
| • | Completed a “flow” sale to Home Loan Servicing Solutions (HLSS) on May 1, 2012 of the right to receive the servicing fees relating to approximately $2.9 billion of UPB. HLSS also assumed responsibility for the associated servicing advances. Ocwen received proceeds of $103.8 million at closing. | |
“In the second quarter of 2012, Ocwen continued to demonstrate its industry-leading ability to on-board large servicing portfolios and improve their performance,” said Ron Faris President and CEO. “As with the Litton portfolio, we were able to drive down delinquencies in the Saxon and Chase portfolios from the date of boarding. This growth, combined with excellent operating results, has been possible because of the scalability of our industry-leading technology and the strength of our management team.”
Mr. Faris continued, “In addition to strong operating results over the past 12 months, we have nearly doubled the size of our servicing portfolio. We closed several deals in the second quarter while maintaining a strong pipeline of new business. We are seeing a shift in our business mix toward subservicing for bank customers and acquisition of Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae MSRs that should help sustain profitable growth. Furthermore, we are starting to see greater traction in developing channels for newly originated servicing. Correspondent One has been growing as expected, and in July, we closed our first co-issue servicing transfer. Longer-term, these acquisition channels will bolster Ocwen’s ability to build its servicing portfolio.”
Chairman William Erbey stated, “This quarter starts to show the earnings power of our existing book of business. Saxon and Chase are still in the early stages of their revenue ramp while Litton is just beginning to generate higher operating margins. New deals tend to have their lowest margins in the early months, but return on capital grows over time as delinquencies decline. Over the past two years, we have consistently proven our ability to meet or exceed our pro forma deal projections. As a result, we anticipate that we can continue to generate strong returns to our shareholders even before factoring in growth. Indeed, Ocwen’s return on capital would be even higher today if we were to optimize our capital structure by increasing debt and repurchasing our stock. Given our large new business pipeline, however, we continue to retain debt capacity to fund potential acquisitions. Moreover, the success of HLSS gives us confidence that we are well positioned to fund substantial growth without having to raise additional equity.”
The second quarter of 2012 had a net total of $1.8 million of normalizing expenses:
| • | Saxon-related transaction expenses of $1.4 million. |
| • | Transaction costs for Litton, BANA, Aurora and Chase of $0.4 million. |
In the second quarter of 2011, Ocwen had a net total of $1.2 million of normalizing items. For more detail on normalizing items as well as prior earnings releases and SEC filings, please refer to the “Shareholder Relations” section of our website at www.ocwen.com.
