(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

The Company anticipates that its 2015 full year results will be impacted by fourth quarter 2015 impairment losses of up to $80 million. Assuming the impairment losses are equal to $80 million, the Company’s preliminary 2015 pretax income attributable to Altisource is estimated to be $41.6 million, its preliminary 2015 net income attributable to Altisource is estimated to be $33.6 million and its preliminary 2015 diluted earnings per share is estimated to be $1.63. This compares to 2014 pretax income attributable to Altisource of $144.7 million, 2014 net income attributable to Altisource of $134.5 million and 2014 diluted earnings per share of $5.69.




The above financial data is preliminary, based upon estimates and subject to completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures and audit of the Company’s financial statements. Moreover, this data has been prepared on the basis of currently available information. This data does not constitute a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the Company’s final numbers for this data may differ materially from these estimates. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has not audited or reviewed, and does not express an opinion with respect to, this data.
