CHRISTIANSTED, U.S. Virgin Islands, Aug. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altisource Asset Management Corporation (“AAMC” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT:AAMC) today reported financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2016.
Recent Developments and Second Quarter 2016 Highlights
- Increased single-family rental (“SFR”) portfolio of Altisource Residential Corporation (“Residential”) during the quarter by 13% over the prior quarter to 3,977 homes, including 3,010 rented properties, 273 listed and ready for rent and 694 properties under leasehold renovation and unit turn.
- Grew Residential's stabilized rentals to 3,112 properties with 97% leased.
- Facilitated Residential’s completed sale of 895 non-performing loans (“NPLs”) in June 2016 with an unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) of $213.1 million, or approximately 17% of the total remaining UPB in Residential’s loan portfolio.
- Managed Residential’s sale of an aggregate of 910 real estate owned (“REO”) properties, representing an increase of 33% over the 686 REO properties sold by Residential in the first quarter of 2016.
- Achieved average rent increases of approximately 6% for Residential on lease renewals.
- Moved substantially all of Residential's remaining Ocwen-serviced NPLs away from Ocwen as of August 1, 2016.
- Completed $4.2 million of AAMC stock buybacks, bringing total buybacks under AAMC’s repurchase program to $255.6 million.
- Negotiated a non-binding letter of intent for Residential to purchase between 4,000 and 4,500 SFR properties from an unrelated third party, subject to due diligence, negotiation of definitive transaction documents, financing arrangements and other factors.
“We are continuing to build Residential’s single-family rental business and sell its NPLs and non-rental REO properties in order to generate liquidity for attractive acquisitions and potential stock repurchases,” stated Chief Executive Officer George Ellison. “We believe these activities, as well as our ongoing efforts to improve Residential’s operational efficiencies, should continue to better position Residential to provide long-term value to its stockholders, which should benefit AAMC’s financial performance and prospects over time.”
