- Expect there to be no material financial impact from right sizing and transition costs, net of deboarding fees, related to exiting the legacy PHH subservicing portfolio with NRZ
Glen A. Messina, President and CEO of Ocwen, said, “We made terrific progress in 2019 on improving profitability, building a sustainable business model and reducing enterprise risks. We have built a significant originations platform that we expect to generate enough volume to grow our owned servicing portfolio in 2020, as well as to take advantage of opportunities to grow and diversify our subservicing, excluding NRZ, with the support of potential capital partners.”
Mr. Messina added, “We believe our progress on growth and cost re-engineering creates a solid foundation for our transformation into a diversified mortgage originator and servicer that can perform through the mortgage industry cycle. We are excited about the opportunities available to us to increase shareholder value through building multiple origination sources, continued strong operational execution and our continuous cost re-engineering initiatives. In this context, we do not view the unprofitable NRZ subservicing portfolio we are exiting as core to the sustainable business model we are building. We look forward to executing the next phase of our plans targeted at improving our long-term competitiveness and financial performance.”
