Forward Guidance
Altisource anticipates roughly break-even Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and positive Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year.
Positive Outlook
- Company-wide cost reduction plan which is estimated to reduce annual cash operating expenses by $13.5 million once complete.
- Sales pipeline and wins in both of our segments remain strong.
- Continue to onboard and grow sales wins from 2022 and 2023, which combined are now at a $13 million annualized revenue run rate.
- Referrals are anticipated to begin in the third quarter of 2023 with revenue and earnings stabilization anticipated by the middle of 2024, if not sooner
- Continue to position Altisource to take advantage of what we see as significant potential opportunities in the residential mortgage default market over the coming years as the market continues to normalize
Challenges Ahead
- Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was impacted by an estimated $0.9 million from certain unexpected non-recurring items
- Interest expense from the higher interest rate environment and our amended term loan contributed to the greater second quarter 2023 Adjusted net loss.
- Second quarter service revenue was lower than the same quarter last year primarily from the exit of a low margin customer care business in the fourth quarter 2022.
- Decline in a customer’s propensity to order services in two of our lower margin default related businesses.
- Unexpected temporary delays in certain California foreclosures.
