Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] |
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION | SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Common stock As of March 31, 2026, we had 250.0 million shares authorized, 11.3 million issued and outstanding shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2025, we had 250.0 million shares authorized, 11.0 million shares issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The holders of shares of Altisource common stock generally are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted on by shareholders, and the holders of such shares generally possess all voting power. On February 18, 2025, the Company’s shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares from 100 million to 250 million, a decrease in the par value of the common stock from $1.00 to $0.01 and an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan from approximately 1.5 million to approximately 2.0 million. On February 19, 2025, the Company issued 7.3 million Debt Exchange Shares to lenders in connection with the Debt Exchange Transaction. See Note 10, Long-Term Debt. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, dated February 19, 2025, by and among the Borrower and Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, with limited exceptions, the Lenders were not, among other things, permitted to sell, offer to sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any Debt Exchange Shares, without the prior written consent of Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A., until September 17, 2025. Share Repurchase Program On May 16, 2023, our shareholders approved the renewal and amendment of the share repurchase program previously approved by our shareholders on May 15, 2018. Under the program, we are authorized to purchase up to 0.4 million shares of our common stock, based on a limit of 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock on the date of approval, at a minimum price of $8.00 per share and a maximum price of $200.00 per share, until May 16, 2028. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock remain available for repurchase under the program. In connection with the elimination of the fractional shares resulting from the Share Consolidation, the Company purchased 204 shares of common stock during the second quarter of the year ended December 31, 2025 (no comparative amount for the three months ended March 31, 2026). There were no other purchases of shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2025 nor the three months ended March 31, 2026. Under the New Facility and the Super Senior Facility, we are not permitted to repurchase shares except under limited circumstances. Share-Based Compensation We issue share-based awards in the form of stock options, restricted shares and RSUs for certain employees, officers and directors. We recognized share-based compensation expense of $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, estimated unrecognized compensation costs related to share-based awards amounted to $2.8 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average remaining requisite service period of approximately 1.41 years. Stock Options Stock option grants are composed of a combination of service-based, market-based and performance-based options. Service-Based Options. These options generally vest over three or four years with equal annual vesting and generally expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service. A total of 4 thousand service-based options were outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Market-Based Options. These option grants generally have two components, each of which vests only upon the achievement of certain criteria. The first component, which we refer to as “ordinary performance” grants, generally consists of two-thirds of the market-based grant and begins to vest if the stock price is at least double the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 20% over the exercise price. The remaining third of the market-based options, which we refer to as “extraordinary performance” grants, generally begins to vest if the stock price is at least triple the exercise price, as long as the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 25% over the exercise price. Market-based options generally vest in three or four year installments with the first installment vesting upon the achievement of the criteria and the remaining installments vesting thereafter in equal annual installments. Market-based options generally expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service, unless the performance criteria is met prior to termination of service or in the final three years of the option term, in which case vesting will generally continue in accordance with the provisions of the award agreement. A total of 3 thousand market-based options were outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Performance-Based Options. These option grants generally will vest if certain specific financial measures are achieved; typically with one-fourth vesting on each anniversary of the grant date. The award of performance-based options is adjusted based on the level of achievement specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above threshold performance levels, participants generally have the opportunity to vest in 50% to 200% of the option grants, depending upon performance achieved. If the performance criteria achieved is below a certain threshold, the options are canceled. The options generally expire on the earlier of ten years after the date of grant or following termination of service, unless the performance criteria is met prior to termination of service in which case vesting will generally continue in accordance with the provisions of the award agreement. There were 33 thousand performance-based options outstanding as of March 31, 2026. There were no stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. We determined the expected option life of all service-based stock option grants using the simplified method, determined based on the graded vesting term plus the contractual term of the options, divided by two. We use the simplified method because we believe that our historical data does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected option life. The following table summarizes the grant date fair value of stock options that vested during the periods presented:
|  | Three months ended March 31,

Other Share-Based Awards The Company’s other share-based and similar types of awards are comprised of restricted shares and RSUs. The restricted shares and RSUs are comprised of a combination of service-based awards, performance-based awards and performance and market-based awards. Service-Based Awards. These awards generally vest over one-to-four-year periods. A total of 692 thousand service-based awards were outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Performance-Based Awards. These awards generally vest if certain specific financial measures are achieved; generally one-third vests on each anniversary of the grant date or cliff-vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The number of performance-based restricted shares and RSUs that may vest is based on the level of achievement as specified in the award agreements. If the performance criteria achieved is above certain financial performance levels and Altisource’s share performance is above certain established criteria, participants have the opportunity to vest in up to 150% of the restricted share unit award for certain awards. If the performance criteria achieved is below certain thresholds, the award is canceled. A total of 24 thousand performance-based awards were outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Performance-Based and Market-Based Awards. These awards generally vest if certain specific financial measures are achieved and if certain specific market conditions are achieved. If the performance criteria achieved is above certain financial performance levels and Altisource’s share performance is above certain established criteria, participants have the opportunity to vest in up to 300% of the restricted share unit award for certain awards. If the performance criteria or the market criteria is below certain thresholds, the award is canceled. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of these awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model. A total of 24 thousand performance-based and market-based awards were outstanding as of March 31, 2026. The Company granted 148 thousand RSUs (at a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.43 per share) during the three months ended March 31, 2026. These grants included approximately four thousand performance-based awards and four thousand awards that include both a performance condition and a market condition. The Company granted 845 thousand RSUs (at a weighted average grant date fair value of $7.73 per share) during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Approximately 573 thousand of these RSUs were granted to senior management in connection with the Debt Exchange Transaction. These grants included 11 thousand performance-based awards and 11 thousand awards that include both a performance condition and a market condition.
