(1)The benefit recorded for the provision for valuation allowance in 2018 relates primarily to a reduction in the valuation allowance necessary as a result of the reduction in tax attributes due to Section 382 & 383 limitations. This benefit is partially offset by an
increase in valuation allowance necessary for current year losses and for adjustments to provisional amounts recorded under SAB 118 at December 31, 2017 when accounting for the effects of tax reform passed on December 22, 2017.
(2)The foreign tax differential includes expense recognized in 2019 and a benefit recognized in 2018 for taxable income or losses earned by Ocwen Mortgage Servicing, Inc. (OMS) prior to the merger of OMS into OVIS in 2019, which are taxable in the U.S. as effectively connected income (ECI). The impact of ECI to income tax expense (benefit) for 2019 and 2018 was $2.6 million and $(3.3) million, respectively.
