We classify revenue in three categories: service revenue, revenue from reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests. In evaluating our performance, we focus on service revenue. Service revenue consists of amounts attributable to our fee-based services. Reimbursable expenses and non-controlling interests are pass-through items for which we earn no margin. Reimbursable expenses consist of amounts we incur on behalf of our customers in performing our fee-based services that we pass directly on to our customers without a markup. Non-controlling interests represent the earnings of Lenders One. Lenders One is a mortgage cooperative managed, but not owned, by Altisource. The Lenders One members’ earnings are included in revenue and reduced from net income (loss) to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to Altisource.

Revenue from Onity primarily consists of revenue earned from the loan portfolios serviced and subserviced by Onity when Onity engages us as the service provider, and revenue earned directly from Onity, pursuant to the Onity Services Agreements. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized revenue from Onity of $72.3 million and $70.4 million, respectively. Revenue from Onity as a percentage of segment and consolidated revenue was as follows:
2025 2024
Servicer and Real Estate 54 % 55 %

Corporate and Others — % — %
Consolidated revenue 42 % 44 %
We earn additional revenue related to the portfolios serviced and subserviced by Onity when a party other than Onity or the MSR owner selects Altisource as the service provider. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $7.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively, of such revenue. These amounts are not included in deriving revenue from Onity and revenue from Onity as a percentage of revenue discussed above.

As of December 31, 2024, accounts receivable from Onity totaled $4.4 million, $3.1 million of which was billed and $1.3 million of which was unbilled.
Rithm
Rithm Capital Corp. (individually, together with one or more of its subsidiaries or one or more of its subsidiaries individually, “Rithm”) is an asset manager focused on the real estate and financial services industries.
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 unpaid principal balance (“UPB”)) and approximately 50% of all delinquent loans that Onity services were related to Rithm MSRs or rights to MSRs (the “Subject 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.
Rithm purchased brokerage services for REO exclusively from us, irrespective of the subservicer, subject to certain limitations, for certain MSRs set forth in and pursuant to the terms of a Cooperative Brokerage Agreement, as amended, and related letter agreement (collectively, the “Rithm Brokerage Agreement”) through August 2025. The Rithm Brokerage Agreement expired on August 31, 2025. At Rithm’s discretion, Altisource has continued to manage REO and receive referrals with limited exceptions from portfolios subject to the Rithm Brokerage Agreement despite the expiration of the Rithm Brokerage Agreement. In addition, Rithm also purchases property inspection, preservation and other services from us.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized additional revenue of $9.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively, relating to the Subject MSRs when a party other than Rithm selects Altisource as the service provider.

•Expand relationships with existing customers by cross-selling additional services and increasing market share of existing services we provide. We believe our customer relationships represent meaningful growth opportunities for us

Table of Content
Given the highly regulated nature of the industries we serve, and the comprehensive purchasing process that our institutional customers and prospects follow, the time and effort we spend in expanding relationships or winning new relationships is significant. For example, it can often take more than one year from the request for proposal or qualified lead stage to the selection of Altisource as a service provider. Furthermore, following the selection of Altisource, it is not unusual for it to take an additional six to twelve months or more to negotiate the services agreement(s), complete the implementation procedures and begin receiving referrals.
Intellectual Property and Data
We rely on a combination of contractual restrictions, internal security practices, trademarks and copyrights to establish and protect our trade secrets, intellectual property, software, technology and expertise. We also own or, as we deem necessary and appropriate, have obtained licenses from third parties to intellectual property relating to our services, processes and businesses. These intellectual property rights are important factors in the success of our businesses.
As of December 31, 2025, we hold registered trademarks in a number of jurisdictions including the United States, the European Union (“EU”), India and four other jurisdictions. These trademarks are generally renewable indefinitely, subject to continued use in commerce.
We strive to actively protect our rights and intend to continue our policy of taking measures we deem reasonable and necessary to develop and protect our trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights.
In addition, we may make use of data in connection with certain of our services. This data generally relates to mortgage information, real property information and consumer information. We gather this data from a variety of third party sources, including from governmental entities and, subject to licensed usage rights, we use this data in connection with the delivery of certain of our services, including combining it with proprietary data we generate to further enhance data and metrics in connection with our services.
Market and Competition
We sell our suite of services to mortgage servicers, mortgage originators, GSEs, buyers and sellers of homes for investment use and financial services firms. The mortgage and real estate markets are very large and are influenced by macroeconomic factors such as credit availability, interest rates, home prices, inflation, unemployment rates, consumer confidence, natural disasters and pandemics, and responses to such factors.
The markets for services provided to mortgage servicers and mortgage originators are highly competitive and generally consist of national companies, in-house providers and a large number of regional and local providers. We typically compete based upon product and service awareness and offerings, product performance and service delivery, quality and control environment, technology integration and support, national coverage, price, financial strength, reputation and customer service.
The markets for services provided to buyers and sellers of homes for investment are highly competitive and generally consist of several national companies, a large number of regional and local providers and start-up companies. We typically compete based upon product and service awareness and offerings, product performance and service delivery, national coverage, ease of transacting, price, quality and control environment, technology integration and support, reputation, customer service and personal service.
We cannot determine our market share with certainty, but believe for mortgage servicers we have a modest share of the market, and for the others we have a relatively small market share.

Under these agreements, the Lenders exchanged the SSTL with an outstanding balance of $232.8 million for a $160.0 million new first lien loan facility (the “New Facility”) and 7.3 million shares of common stock (the “Debt Exchange Shares”). The New Facility is comprised of a $110.0 million interest-bearing loan (the “New Debt”) and a $50.0 million non-interest-bearing exit fee (the “Exit Fee”).

The payment of all amounts owing by the Borrower under the New Facility is guaranteed by Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”) and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the other Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions. The liens securing the New Facility are junior to the liens securing the Super Senior Facility (defined below) pursuant to, and as set forth in, an intercreditor agreement.
On February 19, 2025, Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. and the Borrower also entered into a $12.5 million super senior credit facility (the “Super Senior Facility”) to fund transaction costs related to the 2025 debt and equity transactions described above (collectively, the “Transactions”) and for general corporate purposes.

On April 3, 2025, the Company distributed 70.5 million warrants to purchase approximately 14.3 million shares of Altisource common stock for $9.5998 per share (the “Stakeholder Warrants”).

The Distribution Conditions were satisfied during the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Fifty percent of the Stakeholder Warrants will expire on April 2, 2029 and require settlement through the cash payment to the Company of the exercise price of such Stakeholder Warrant (“Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrants”). Fifty percent of the Stakeholder Warrants will expire on April 30, 2032 and require settlement through the forfeiture of shares of common stock to the Company equal to the exercise price of such Stakeholder Warrants (“Net Settle Stakeholder Warrants”). Each Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrant is exercisable for 0.20313 shares of our common stock (“Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrant Shares”). Each Net Settle Stakeholder Warrant is exercisable for 0.20313 shares of our common stock (“Net Settle Stakeholder Warrant Shares” and, collectively with the Cash Exercise Stakeholder Warrant Shares, the “Stakeholder Warrant Shares”). The Stakeholder Warrants became exercisable pursuant to their term on July 28, 2025.

Seasonality
Certain of our revenues can be impacted by seasonality. More specifically, revenues from property sales, loan originations and certain property preservation services in field services typically tend to be at their lowest level during the fall and winter months and at their highest level during the spring and summer months. Current economic conditions, residential mortgage default rates and interest rates may impact historical revenue patterns.

Legal requirements can and do change as statutes and regulations are enacted, promulgated or amended. One such enacted regulation is the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”). The Dodd-Frank Act is extensive and includes reform of the regulation and supervision of financial institutions, as well as the regulation of derivatives, capital market activities and consumer financial services. The Dodd-Frank Act, among other things, created the CFPB, a federal entity responsible for regulating consumer financial services and products. Title XIV of the Dodd-Frank Act contains the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (“Mortgage Act”). The Mortgage Act imposes a number of additional requirements on lenders and servicers of residential mortgage loans by amending and expanding certain existing regulations. The interpretation or enforcement by regulatory authorities of applicable laws and regulations also may change over time. In addition, the creation of new regulatory authorities or changes in the regulatory authorities overseeing applicable laws and regulations may also result in changing interpretation or enforcement of such laws or regulations.
Our failure or the failure of our customers or vendors to comply with applicable laws or regulations or changing interpretation of such laws or regulations could subject the Company to criminal or civil liability, significant penalties, fines, settlements, costs and consent orders affecting us or our customers that may curtail or restrict the business as it is currently conducted and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Furthermore, certain of our services are provided at the direction of, and pursuant to, the identified requirements of our customers. The failure of our customers to properly identify or account for regulatory requirements applicable to such services could expose us to significant penalties, fines, settlements, costs and consent orders that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
We are subject to licensing and regulation as a provider of certain services including, among others, auction, real estate brokerage, title insurance agency, appraisal management, valuation, property preservation and inspection, mortgage and debt collection, trustee, mortgage origination underwriter and broker, property and asset management, insurance and credit report reselling services in a number of jurisdictions. Our employees and subsidiaries may be required to be licensed by or registered with various jurisdictions for the particular type of service sold or provided and to participate in regular continuing education programs. Periodically, we are subject to audits, examinations and investigations by federal, state and local 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. Due to the inherent uncertainty of such actions, it is often difficult to predict the potential outcome or estimate any potential financial impact in connection with any such inquiries.
