As previously announced on October 24, 2012, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, the mortgage servicing arm of Ocwen Financial Corporation, and Walter Investment Management Corp. were the successful bidders for the mortgage servicing and origination platform assets of Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap). The bid, with a purchase price of $3 billion, is subject to definitive documentation and Bankruptcy Court approval.
Upon closing, Ocwen would acquire approximately $126.6 billion of UPB in MSRs and $31 billion of UPB of subservicing as of August 31, 2012. These numbers exclude approximately $120 billion of subservicing for Ally Bank that is likely to be sold prior to closing. Under the joint bidding arrangement, Walter Investment Management Corp. will acquire the Fannie Mae mortgage servicing rights (MSR) portion of ResCap’s servicing portfolio, representing approximately $50.4 billion in UPB, as well as the origination and capital markets platform.
On October 26, 2012, Ocwen and Genworth Financial Corporation (NYSE: GNW) entered into an agreement whereby Ocwen will acquire Genworth Financial Home Equity Access, Inc. for approximately $22 million in cash. The company, which will be renamed Liberty Home Equity Solutions, Inc. (“Liberty”), is the number one reverse mortgage lender, according to the latest monthly data, with strong positions in both retail and wholesale originations. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2013.
“With the closing of the ResCap and Homeward acquisitions, Ocwen will become the fifth largest mortgage servicer in the country. More importantly, the infrastructure, management and staff from these acquisitions expand and enhance our capabilities in important areas such as Ginnie Mae and master servicing. Moreover, the Homeward origination platform will provide Ocwen with organic growth and improved ability to work with existing borrowers on refinancing opportunities” said Ron Faris President and CEO. “Additionally, the acquisition of Liberty positions us well in a market with enormous future growth potential.”
Mr. Faris continued, “Our record-setting results in the third quarter of 2012 show the strong earnings power of the business currently on the books and points to our ability to generate strong results on acquired portfolios. Modifications for the quarter came in at the midpoint of our expectations and lower than last quarter as Ocwen tested delinquent loans for HAMP 2 eligibility. This delayed modifications in the short-run, but we expect the program to be positive longer-term We are already seeing a rebound in modifications this quarter. Our financial performance also indicates that our revenue ramp-up and delinquency performance on recently boarded portfolios continue to track well against our pro forma expectations.”
Chairman Bill Erbey stated, “The strong market acceptance of the HLSS follow-on offering and their recently completed term note issuance positions Ocwen well to fund expected growth at a reduced cost. HLSS, combined with our track-record of strong cash-flow from operations, will likely enable us to execute both the Homeward and ResCap transactions without issuing new equity beyond the $162 million of preferred shares used to acquire a portion of Homeward. We expect both transactions to provide attractive returns to our shareholders.”
In the third quarter of 2011, Ocwen had a net total of $18.7 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.
