Detailed Narrative
Q2 Performance and Strategic Progress
Altisource reported a strong second quarter with total service revenue reaching $48.7 million, marking a 19% year-over-year and 8% sequential increase. This growth was attributed to successful customer wins, which have more than compensated for the reduction in Rithm-related business. The company also focused on debt reduction, repurchasing $2 million of its term loan, and continued deploying AI initiatives to enhance efficiency and product development speed.
Segmental Revenue Dynamics
The Servicer and Real Estate segment saw an 8% year-over-year increase in service revenue to $34.4 million, driven by growth in Hubzu, title, and trustee businesses, despite Rithm-related reductions. The Originations segment demonstrated significant momentum with a 62% year-over-year service revenue increase, primarily from sales wins. While revenue grew, both segments experienced a decline in adjusted EBITDA margins due to a non-recurring📎 benefit in Q2 2025 and higher costs associated with supporting growth.
Customer Diversification and Hubzu Growth
A key strategic achievement was the substantial increase in customer diversification, with revenue from non-Onity/Rithm customers rising to 65% of total service revenue, up from 46% in the prior year. This represents the highest percentage since the company went public in 2009. Hubzu inventory, a critical revenue barometer, grew 30% quarter-over-quarter to 22,300 assets, indicating potential for future revenue generation as these assets move through the sales cycle.
AI and Automation Strategy
Altisource is actively implementing an AI and automation strategy across its operations. The focus is on enhancing customer-facing capabilities, improving operating efficiency, supporting revenue generation, and accelerating software development. These initiatives are already contributing to faster software development and productivity, and are expected to drive more efficient scaling, reduce software costs, strengthen platforms like Equator and Hubzu, and support the Project 45 growth objectives.
Market Environment and Outlook
The company is performing well despite a challenging market with relatively low delinquency rates and origination volumes. While 90-plus day mortgage delinquency rates and foreclosure activity have seen slight increases (e.g., 90-day delinquencies up to 1.55% in May from 1.45% in December 2025), they remain significantly below pre-pandemic levels. Mortgage origination unit volume increased 9% year-over-year in Q2, driven by refinance activity. Management anticipates continued sales wins and efficiency initiatives to lead to roughly flat Q3 and higher Q4 adjusted EBITDA.
