Fourth Quarter Results for Processing Operations
Net revenue from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2009 increased $17.6 million, or 33.3%, to $70.5 million from $52.9 million in last year's comparable period. The revenue improvement resulted from an increase in the number of mortgage foreclosures taking place in the Company's principal market, Florida, as well as the expansion of REO (bank-owned) activities. During the three months ended December 31, 2009, revenue from mortgage foreclosure related services, net of revenue from client reimbursements, increased by $2.5 million, or 8.5%, to $32.3 million, compared to $29.7 million for the same period last year. Our REO liquidation business, which emanates from a single customer, became an increasingly significant source of revenue during the quarter, generating $3.4 million in revenue, with approximately an 88% gross margin. Revenue for the same three months of 2008 was $1.5 million. Going forward, management intends to offer both REO closing and liquidation services to additional customers as a means of increasing revenues and profits. The remainder of the increase in revenue was due to increased client-reimbursed costs.
Adjusted net income increased to $12.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from $7.2 million for the same period in 2008.
