    Adjusted Earnings of $24.4 million after taxes, or $0.65 per share
    Servicing segment delivered 16 bps of AEBITDA margin
    Assisted approximately 12,500 homeowners in obtaining modifications and originated approximately 10,500 HARP loans

Second Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights

The Company reported a GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2015 of ($38.1) million, or ($1.01) per diluted share, as compared to a GAAP net loss of ($12.9) million, or ($0.34) per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2014. The quarters ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 each include pre-tax charges related to goodwill impairment in the Reverse Mortgage segment of $56.5 million, or $1.50 per share, and $82.3 million, or $2.18 per share, respectively. Adjusted Earnings for the second quarter of 2015 was $24.4 million after taxes(1), or $0.65 per share(1), a decrease of 65% as compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $140.4 million, a 30% decline when compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted results in the prior year quarter included the benefit of $34.2 million of performance fees earned by the investment management business and higher levels of earnings in the Originations business.

 

 

  (1)  Note that this calculation excludes the effect of the goodwill impairment, including its impact to the Company’s effective tax rates for 2015 and 2014. This calculation assumes an effective tax rate of 38% and 39% for 2015 and 2014, respectively.

“We delivered strong operational results in our core segments as AEBITDA profitability in our Servicing business was in-line with our expectations, our Originations business capitalized on retention opportunities and demonstrated strong performance in the correspondent channel and our Reverse Mortgage business delivered positive AEBITDA and Adjusted Earnings. The Servicing business added $17.1 billion in UPB of product to its serviced portfolio and maintained strong Adjusted Earnings profitability. Our Originations business funded $7.2 billion in UPB during the quarter, delivering strong margins from the retention channel and increasing production in the correspondent channel where overall volume growth combined with a shift to more GNMA production drove margin improvement. We have completed a comprehensive review of the Reverse Mortgage business and believe the steps implemented to drive process improvements will result in improved future profitability,” said Mark J. O’Brien, Walter Investment’s Chairman and CEO.

“We continue to focus on the combination of our Green Tree and Ditech entities under the name “Ditech, a Walter Company,” which we believe will leverage talent across these organizations and enhance the value of the brand by improving the customer experience, streamlining processes and enhancing retention efforts. In conjunction with the combination of Green Tree and Ditech and our other cost savings initiatives, we have realized cost savings of approximately $24 million in the first half of 2015 as compared to the fourth quarter 2014 run-rate. We have also made significant progress on our planned WCO-related initiatives, including our contribution of Marix, a FNMA and FRE approved servicer to WCO. We have executed an initial sub-servicing agreement with Marix and assisted with the sourcing of new portfolio opportunities for WCO, including potential bulk MSR acquisitions.”

Second Quarter 2015 Financial and Operating Highlights

Total revenues for the second quarter of 2015 of $412.4 million were relatively flat as compared to the same period of 2014. Net servicing revenues and fees increased $82.9 million as compared to the prior year quarter, primarily driven by an $84.7 million favorable change in the fair value of servicing rights resulting from the rising interest rate environment. This increase was partially offset by a $25.2 million decline in net gains on sales of loans driven primarily by a shift in volume mix from the consumer lending channel to the lower margin correspondent lending channel, a $20.1 million unfavorable change in the net fair value of reverse loans and related HMBS obligations resulting from the rising interest rate environment and a decline in interest income on loans of $16.0 million related primarily to the sale of the residual interests in the Residual Trusts. Results for the prior year period also reflect $34.2 million in performance fees earned by our investment management business.

Total expenses for the second quarter of 2015 were 8% lower as compared to the second quarter of 2014, declining to $428.0 million, principally reflecting the Reverse Mortgage segment’s current quarter goodwill impairment charge of $56.5 million, which was $25.7 million lower than the charge taken in the prior year period. As a result of these goodwill impairment charges, the Reverse Mortgage reporting unit no longer has goodwill. Results also reflect $6.0 million lower interest expense in the current quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2014 primarily due to the sale of the residual interests in the Residual Trusts.

Segments

Results for the Company’s segments are presented below.

Servicing

The Servicing segment generated total revenue of $274.2 million in the second quarter of 2015, a 35% increase as compared to second quarter 2014 revenue of $202.9 million. The change was primarily comprised of an $84.7 million favorable change in the fair value of servicing rights and a $12.3 million increase in other income reflecting strong performance on our acquired charged-off loans, partially offset by a $16.0 million decline in interest income resulting primarily from the sale of the residual interests in the Residual Trusts, $8.4 million lower insurance revenue due to the loss of commissions earned on GSE lender-placed policies beginning June 1, 2014 and a $5.7 million unfavorable change in fair value of our excess servicing spread liability. Servicing revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 included $175.3 million of servicing fees, $26.5 million of incentive and performance-based fees and $23.6 million of ancillary and other fees.

Expense for the Servicing segment was $189.0 million, a decline of 16% as compared to the prior year quarter. The change was driven by a $25.7 million decrease in operational expenses resulting primarily from $13.2 million in accruals in the second quarter of 2014 for loss contingencies and legal expenses due to legal and regulatory matters outside of the normal course of business and $9.1 million lower salaries and benefits driven by fewer employees, as well as $9.9 million lower interest expense primarily as a result of the sale of the residual interests in the Residual Trusts. Expenses also included $11.4 million of depreciation and amortization costs.

 

2


The segment generated Adjusted Earnings of $36.4 million for the second quarter of 2015 and AEBITDA of $97.6 million, a decline of 32% and 4%, respectively, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. The variance in Adjusted Earnings as compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to lower revenues adjusted for the impact of changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs, partially offset by lower expenses. These lower revenues include $18.0 million in higher realization of cash flows, which include the effect of accelerated prepayments.

The Servicing segment ended the quarter with approximately 2.2 million total accounts serviced with a UPB of approximately $243.2 billion. During the quarter, the Company experienced a net disappearance rate of 15.5%, an increase from the net disappearance rate in the prior year quarter of 13.8% as a result of increased levels of prepayments in the continued low interest rate environment.

Originations

The Originations segment generated revenue of $128.7 million in the second quarter, a decline of 14% as compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a $29.0 million decline in net gains on sales of loans driven by a shift in volume from the higher margin retention channel to the lower margin correspondent channel, partially offset by $7.4 million higher other revenues primarily as a result of reinstating certain origination fees. Expenses for the Originations segment of $95.7 million, which include $9.9 million of interest expense and $2.7 million of depreciation and amortization, remained relatively flat as compared to the prior year quarter, increasing only $3.8 million primarily driven by $3.3 million higher interest expense as a result of a higher volume of loan fundings partially offset by lower average cost of debt.

The segment generated Adjusted Earnings of $35.3 million for the second quarter of 2015 and AEBITDA of $39.5 million, a 46% and 40% decline, respectively, as compared to the second quarter of 2014 due primarily to lower net gains on sales of loans and higher interest-related expenses, partially offset by higher origination fee income.

The total pull-through adjusted locked volume for the second quarter was $6.3 billion, as compared to $5.6 billion for the second quarter of 2014 as volumes in the correspondent lending channel grew 53% as compared to the prior year period. Funded loans in the current quarter totaled $7.2 billion, with approximately 28% of that volume in the consumer lending channel and approximately 72% generated by the correspondent lending channel. Funded loans in the second quarter of 2014 totaled $4.4 billion, with approximately 53% of that volume in the consumer lending channel and approximately 47% driven by the correspondent lending channel. The combined direct margin for the current quarter was 100 bps, with a direct margin of 255 bps in the consumer lending channel, a decrease of 40 bps as compared to the prior year quarter. In the correspondent lending channel, overall volume growth combined with a shift to more GNMA production drove margin expansion of 50 bps, as compared to the second quarter of 2014, to 45 bps for the current quarter.

Reverse Mortgage

The Reverse Mortgage segment generated revenue of $20.2 million for the quarter, a 48% decline as compared to the prior year quarter reflecting lower net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations of $20.1 million, driven by unfavorable changes in non-cash fair value adjustments due to a higher LIBOR rate at June 30, 2015 as compared to prior periods. Current quarter revenues included a $6.8 million gain from the net impact of HECM loan and related HMBS obligation fair value adjustments, $11.9 million in net servicing revenue and fees and $1.4 million of other revenues. Total expenses for the second quarter of $111.1 million, which include a $56.5 million goodwill impairment charge, declined 11% as compared to the prior year period primarily driven by the prior year quarter’s $82.3 million goodwill impairment charge. The decline in the goodwill impairment charge was partially offset by $11.1 million adjustments in the current quarter associated with legal and regulatory matters and curtailment costs outside of the normal course of business and $4.6 million higher salaries and benefits expense resulting from increased headcount and higher incentives related to an improvement in funded volume.

The segment reported Adjusted Earnings of $2.5 million and AEBITDA of $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to Adjusted Loss of ($2.9) million and AEBITDA of ($1.7) million in the second quarter of 2014 due primarily to the growth in cash generated from origination, purchase and securitization of HECMs and net servicing revenue and fees partially offset by higher expenses.

Funded origination volumes, excluding tails, increased 22% as compared to the second quarter of 2014 resulting from an increase in volumes related to loans originated in the first quarter, prior to the implementation of the financial assessment requirement, which moved to funding during the current quarter. Securitized volumes increased 23% compared to the prior year quarter.

 

3


During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, as a result of a number of operational and market driven factors, RMS revised its multi-year forecast which led to the impairment of the remaining goodwill associated with the Reverse Mortgage business.

Other Non-Reportable Segment

The Other Non-Reportable segment generated revenue of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to revenue of $35.6 million in the prior year quarter. The prior year quarter included a $34.2 million performance fee earned by the Investment Management business. Total expenses in the current quarter of $43.6 million, which included $37.1 million related to corporate debt, remained relatively flat as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

The Other non-reportable segment generated Adjusted Loss of ($34.8) million and AEBITDA of ($0.4) million for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to Adjusted Loss of ($0.4) million and AEBITDA of $34.0 million in the second quarter of 2014.

New factors, risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors, risks and uncertainties.

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements (including those relating to our outlook) contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore any of these statements included herein may prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved. We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after the date any such statement is made, except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws. If we were in any particular instance to update or correct a forward-looking statement, investors and others should not conclude that we would make additional updates or corrections thereafter except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws.

Amounts or metrics that relate to future earnings projections are forward-looking and subject to significant business, economic, regulatory and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of us and our management, and are based upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to change. Actual results will vary and those variations may be material. Nothing in this report should be regarded as a representation by any person that any target will be achieved and we undertake no duty to update any target. Please refer to the disclosures in this press release, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and our other filings with the SEC for important information regarding forward-looking statements and the use and limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Because we do not predict special items that might occur in the future, and our outlook is developed at a level of detail different than that used to prepare GAAP financial measures, we are not providing a reconciliation to GAAP of any forward-looking financial measures presented herein.

In addition, this press release may contain statements of opinion or belief concerning market conditions and similar matters. In certain instances, those opinions and beliefs could be based upon general observations by members of our management, anecdotal evidence and/or our experience in the conduct of our business, without specific investigation or statistical analyses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We manage our Company in three reportable segments: Servicing, Originations and Reverse Mortgage. We measure the performance of our business segments through the following measures: income (loss) before income taxes, Adjusted Earnings (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA. Management considers Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP financial measures, to be important in the evaluation of our business segments and of the Company as a whole, as well as for allocating capital resources to our segments. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are utilized by management to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use these measures when analyzing our operating performance. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our use of these measures and terms may vary from other companies in our industry.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) is a supplemental metric used by management to evaluate our Company’s underlying key drivers and operating performance of the business. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) is defined as income (loss) before income taxes plus changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions, estimated settlements and costs for certain legal and regulatory matters, goodwill impairment (if any), certain depreciation and amortization costs related to the increased basis in assets (including servicing rights and sub-servicing contracts) acquired within business combination transactions (or step-up depreciation and amortization), transaction and integration costs, share-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, the net impact of the Non-Residual Trusts, fair value to cash adjustments for reverse loans, and certain other cash and non-cash adjustments, primarily including certain non-recurring costs. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) excludes unrealized changes in fair value of MSRs that are based on projections of expected future cash flows and prepayments. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) includes both cash and non-cash gains from mortgage loan origination activities. Non-cash gains are net of non-cash charges or reserves provided. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) includes cash generated from reverse mortgage origination activities. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) may from time to time also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors with a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest expense on corporate debt, amortization of servicing rights and other fair value adjustments, estimated settlements and costs for certain legal and regulatory matters, goodwill impairment (if any), fair value to cash adjustment for reverse loans, non-cash interest income, share-based compensation expense, servicing fee economics, Residual Trusts cash flows, transaction and integration related costs, the net impact of the Non-Residual Trusts and certain other cash and non-cash adjustments primarily including the net provision for the repurchase of loans sold, provision for loan losses and certain non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA includes both cash and non-cash gains from mortgage loan origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of fair value option accounting on certain assets and liabilities and includes cash generated from reverse mortgage origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (loss) or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these metrics are:

 

    Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash expenditures for long-term assets and other items that have been and will be incurred, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

    Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

    Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect certain tax payments that represent reductions in cash available to us;

 

    Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;

 

10


    Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect non-cash compensation which is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package;

 

    Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the change in fair value of servicing rights due to changes in valuation inputs or other assumptions; and

 

    Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our corporate debt and excess servicing spread liability, although they do reflect interest expense associated with our servicing advance liabilities, master repurchase agreements, mortgage-backed debt, and HMBS related obligations.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplements. Users of our financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA.

Supplemental Information & Reconciliations

Use of Non-GAAP Measures and Definitions
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules
accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has
provided the following non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation: Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Funds Generated in Period.   See the definitions below for a description of how
these items are presented and see the Non-GAAP Reconciliations for a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Management considers Adjusted Earnings (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Funds Generated in Period, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to be important in the evaluation of our
business segments and of the Company as a whole, as well as for allocating capital resources to our segments. Adjusted  Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Funds Generated in Period are utilized by
management
to
assess
the
underlying
operational
performance
of
the
continuing
operations
of
the
business.
In
addition,
analysts,
investors,
and
creditors
may
use
these
measures
when
analyzing
our
operating
performance.
Adjusted
Earnings
(Loss),
Adjusted
EBITDA
and
Funds
Generated
in
Period
are
not
presentations
made
in
accordance
with
GAAP
and
our
use
of
these
terms
may
vary
from other companies in our industry.  These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to (1) net income (loss) or any other performance measures determined in
accordance with GAAP or (2) operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. These measures have important limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or
as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and
Adjusted
EBITDA
only
as
supplements.
Users
of
our
financial
statements
are
cautioned
not
to
place
undue
reliance
on
Adjusted
Earnings
(Loss)
and
Adjusted
EBITDA.
Adjusted
Earnings
(Loss)
is
a
supplemental
metric
used
by
management
to
evaluate
our
Company’s
underlying
key
drivers
and
operating
performance
of
the
business.
Adjusted
Earnings
(Loss)
is defined as income (loss) before income taxes plus fair value changes due to changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions, estimated settlements and costs for certain legal and regulatory
matters, goodwill impairment (if any), certain depreciation and amortization costs related to the increased basis in assets (including servicing rights and sub-servicing contracts) acquired within
business combination transactions (or step-up depreciation and amortization), transaction and integration costs, share-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, the net impact of
the Non-Residual Trusts, fair value to cash adjustments for reverse loans, and certain other cash and non-cash adjustments, primarily including certain non-recurring costs. Adjusted Earnings (Loss)
excludes unrealized changes in fair value of MSRs that are based on projections of expected future cash flows and prepayments. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) includes both cash and non-cash gains
from mortgage loan origination activities. Non-cash gains are net of non-cash charges or reserves provided. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) includes cash generated from reverse mortgage origination
activities.
Adjusted
Earnings
(Loss)
may
from
time
to
time
also
include
other
adjustments,
as
applicable
based
upon
facts
and
circumstances,
consistent
with
the
intent
of
providing
investors
with
a
supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA
eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, interest expense on corporate debt, amortization of servicing rights and other fair value adjustments, estimated settlements and costs for certain legal and regulatory matters, goodwill
impairment (if any), fair value to cash adjustment for reverse loans, non-cash interest income, share-based compensation expense, servicing fee economics, Residual Trusts cash flows, transaction
and integration related costs, the net impact of the Non-Residual Trusts and certain other cash and non-cash adjustments primarily including the net provision for the repurchase of loans sold,
provision for loan losses and certain non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA includes both cash and non-cash gains from mortgage loan origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of
fair value option accounting on certain assets and liabilities and includes cash generated from reverse mortgage origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as
applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.
Funds
Generated
in
Period
is
calculated
as
Adjusted
EBITDA,
as
described
above,
less
capital
expenditures,
cash
paid
for
corporate
debt
interest
expense
and
income
taxes.
Management
believes Funds Generated in Period is useful as a supplemental indicator of the cash capable of being generated by the business during the relevant period and for that purpose considers the
values of the OMSRs created during the period as equivalent to cash on the assumption that such OMSRs could have been sold during the period for cash equivalent to their fair value reflected in
our
books.
There
can
be
no
assurance
that
the
OMSRs
could
have
been
sold
during
the
period
for
cash
equivalent
to
their
fair
value
reflected
in
our
books.
Funds
Generated
in
Period
does
not
represent  cash flow or cash available for investment.
Amounts
or
metrics
that
relate
to
future
earnings
projections
are
forward-looking
and
subject
to
significant
business,
economic,
regulatory
and
competitive
uncertainties,
many
of
which
are
beyond
the control of Walter Investment and its management, and are based upon assumptions with respect to future decisions, which are subject to change. Actual results will vary and those variations
may be material. Nothing in this presentation should be regarded as a representation by any person that any target will be achieved and the Company undertakes no duty to update any target.
Please refer to the introductory slides of this presentation, as well as additional disclosures in this Appendix and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, our
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and our other filings with the SEC, for important information regarding forward looking statements
and the use and limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Because we do not predict special items that might occur in the future, and our outlook is developed at a level of detail different than
that used to prepare GAAP financial measures, we are not providing a reconciliation to GAAP of any forward-looking financial measures presented herein.

Certain statements in this presentation constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. 
Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” 
“anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” or other similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known 
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, and our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from future results, performance or 
achievements expressed in these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs, intentions and expectations. These statements 
are not guarantees or indicative of future performance. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-
looking statements include, but are not limited to, those factors, risks and uncertainties described below and in more detail under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on 
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 and in our other filings 
with the SEC.
In particular (but not by way of limitation), the following important factors, risks and uncertainties could affect our future results, performance and achievements and could cause actual 
results, performance and achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements:


16
Forward-Looking Statements
the ability of our clients and credit owners to transfer or otherwise terminate our servicing or sub-servicing rights;
a downgrade in our servicer ratings or credit ratings;
our ability to collect reimbursements for servicing advances and earn and timely receive incentive and performance payments and ancillary fees on our servicing portfolio;
our ability to collect indemnification payments and enforce repurchase obligations relating to mortgage loans we purchase from our correspondent clients and our ability to collect 
indemnification payments relating to servicing rights we purchase from prior servicers;
local, regional, national and global economic trends and developments in general, and local, regional and national real estate and residential mortgage market trends in particular, 
including the volume and pricing of home sales, the credit quality of loan origination customers and uncertainty regarding the levels of mortgage originations and prepayments; 
uncertainty as to the volume of originations activity we will benefit from prior to, and following, the expiration of HARP, which is scheduled to occur on December 31, 2016;
risks associated with the origination, securitization and servicing of reverse mortgages, including changes to reverse mortgage programs operated by FHA, HUD or Ginnie Mae, 
our ability to accurately estimate interest curtailment liabilities, continued demand for HECM loans and other reverse mortgages, our ability to fund HECM repurchase obligations, 
our ability to fund principal additions on our HECM loans, and our ability to securitize our HECM loans and tails;
our ability to implement strategic initiatives, particularly as they relate to our ability to raise capital, make arrangements with potential capital partners and develop new business, 
including acquisitions of mortgage servicing rights and the development of our originations business, all of which are subject to customer demand and various third-party approvals; 
our ability to realize all anticipated benefits of past, pending or potential future acquisitions or joint venture investments; 
the effects of competition on our existing and potential future business, including the impact of competitors with greater financial resources and broader scopes of operation; 
changes in interest rates and the effectiveness of any hedge we may employ against such changes; 
risks and potential costs associated with technology and cybersecurity, including the risks of technology failures and of cyber-attacks against us or our vendors, our ability to 
adequately respond to actual or alleged cyber-attacks and our ability to implement adequate internal security measures and protect confidential borrower information;
our ability to comply with evolving and complex accounting rules, many of which involve significant judgment and assumptions;
uncertainties regarding impairment charges relating to our goodwill or other intangible assets; 
our ability to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; 
our ability to manage conflicts of interest relating to our investment in WCO; and 
risks related to our relationship with Walter Energy and uncertainties arising from or relating to its bankruptcy filings, including potential liability for any taxes, interest and/or 
penalties owed by the Walter Energy consolidated group for the full or partial tax years during which certain of the Company's former subsidiaries were part of such consolidated 
group and certain other tax risks allocated to us in connection with our spin-off from Walter Energy.
All of the above factors, risks and uncertainties are difficult to predict, contain uncertainties that may materially affect actual results and may be beyond our control. New factors, risks 
and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all such factors, risks and uncertainties.
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements (including those relating to our outlook) contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions 
could be inaccurate, and therefore any of these statements included herein may prove to be inaccurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking 
statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the results or conditions described in such 
statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved. We make no commitment to revise or update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances after 
the date any such statement is made, except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws. If we were in any particular instance to update or correct a forward-looking 
statement, investors and others should not conclude that we would make additional updates or corrections thereafter except as otherwise required under the federal securities laws.
In addition, this presentation may contain statements of opinion or belief concerning market conditions and similar matters.  In certain instances, those opinions and beliefs could be 
based upon general observations by members of our management, anecdotal evidence and/or our experience in the conduct of our business, without specific investigation or 
statistical analyses.  Therefore, while such statements reflect our view of the industries and markets in which we are involved, they should not be viewed as reflecting verifiable views 
and such views may not be shared by all who are involved in those industries or markets.
