Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS | COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS We record a liability for contingencies if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated, including expected insurance coverage. For proceedings where the reasonable estimate of loss is a range, we record a best estimate of loss within the range. Litigation We are currently involved in legal actions in the course of our business, most of which seek monetary damages. Although the outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that their outcome, both individually and in the aggregate, other than as described below, will not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. National Fair Housing Alliance v. Altisource Solutions, Inc., et al. On or about February 1, 2018, the National Fair Housing Alliance (“NFHA”) and eighteen regional housing groups (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed a civil complaint, subsequently amended, against Altisource Solutions, Inc. (“ASI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Deutsche Bank National Trust, as Trustee, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Trustee, and Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (n/k/a Onity Group, Inc.) (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Litigation”). The complaint alleged violations of the federal Fair Housing Act in connection with the maintenance and marketing of certain real estate owned properties. On February 11, 2026, Defendants entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Plaintiffs, providing for a full release of claims against the Defendants. The Settlement Agreement contains customary terms and conditions and does not include any admission of liability, fault or unlawful conduct by the Defendants. The Litigation was subsequently dismissed with prejudice. Altisource recorded a $7.5 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflecting the settlement and associated defense costs. In March 2026, the Company paid $5 million to Plaintiffs, representing Altisource’s portion of the settlement. In March 2026, the Company received $5 million from one of its insurance providers related to the Litigation and subject to a reservation of rights. The Company is seeking to recover the remaining loss pursuant to applicable insurance, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policies. Since the funds received from an insurance provider are subject to a reservation of rights and the recovery of the remaining loss is not certain, no gain from insurance recoveries has been recorded. Regulatory Matters Periodically, we are subject to audits, examinations and investigations by governmental authorities and receive subpoenas, civil investigative demands or other requests for information from such governmental authorities in connection with their regulatory or investigative authority. We are currently responding to such inquiries from governmental authorities relating to certain aspects of our business. We believe it is premature to predict the potential outcome or to estimate any potential financial impact in connection with these inquiries. Onity Related Matters As discussed in Note 2, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, Onity was our largest customer, accounting for 37% of our total revenue. Additionally, 4% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was earned on the loan portfolios serviced by Onity, when a party other than Onity or the MSR owner selected Altisource as the service provider. Onity has disclosed that it is subject to a number of ongoing federal and state regulatory examinations, consent orders, inquiries, subpoenas, civil investigative demands, requests for information and other actions and is subject to pending and threatened legal proceedings, some of which include claims against Onity for substantial monetary damages. Previous regulatory actions against Onity have subjected Onity to independent oversight of its operations and placed certain restrictions on its ability to acquire servicing rights or proceed with default-related actions on the loans it services. Existing or future similar matters could result in adverse regulatory or other actions against Onity. In addition to the above, Onity may become subject to future adverse regulatory or other actions. Onity has disclosed that Rithm is one of its largest servicing clients. As of December 31, 2025, Onity reported that approximately 10% of loans serviced and subserviced by Onity (measured in UPB) and approximately 50% of all delinquent loans that Onity services were related to Rithm MSRs or rights to MSRs. In November 2025, Onity disclosed that it had received notification from Rithm that Rithm does not intend to renew its subservicing agreements with Onity effective January 31, 2026. The termination of Onity’s subservicing agreements with Rithm may have significant adverse effects on Onity’s business. Additionally, Altisource’s revenue from Onity and Rithm (and revenue associated with the Rithm MSRs) will be reduced and our results of operations will be adversely affected by this termination. The existence or outcome of Onity regulatory matters or Onity’s loss of significant clients may have significant adverse effects on Onity’s business. For example, Onity may be required to alter the way it conducts business, including the parties it contracts with for services, it may be required to seek changes to its existing pricing structure with us, it may lose its non-government-sponsored enterprise (“GSE”) servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or may lose one or more of its state servicing or origination licenses. Additional regulatory actions or adverse financial developments may impose additional restrictions on or require changes in Onity’s business that could require it to sell assets or change its business operations. Any or all of these effects and others could result in our eventual loss of Onity as a customer or a reduction in the number and/or volume of services it purchases from us or the loss of other customers. If any of the following events occurred, Altisource’s revenue could be significantly reduced and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected, including from the possible impairment or write-off of goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, other assets and accounts receivable: •Altisource loses Onity as a customer or there is a significant reduction in the volume of services it purchases from us •Onity loses, sells or transfers a significant portion of its GSE or Federal Housing Administration servicing rights or subservicing arrangements or remaining other servicing rights or subservicing arrangements and Altisource fails to be retained as a service provider •Onity loses state servicing licenses in states with a significant number of loans in Onity’s servicing portfolio •Onity is subject to stays, moratoriums, suspensions or other restrictions that limit or delay default-related actions on the loans it services •The contractual relationship between Onity and Altisource changes significantly or there are significant changes to our pricing to Onity for services from which we generate material revenue •Altisource otherwise fails to be retained as a service provider. The foregoing list is not intended to be exhaustive. Management cannot predict whether any of these events or other events will occur or the amount of any impact they may have on Altisource. Leases We lease certain premises and equipment, primarily consisting of office space. Certain of our leases include options to renew at our discretion or terminate leases early, and these options are considered in our determination of the expected lease term. Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements generally do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We sublease certain office space to third parties. Sublease income was less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amortization periods of right-of-use assets are generally limited by the expected lease term. Our leases generally have expected lease terms at adoption of one to six years.
