Item 3. Legal Proceedings
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We may become, from time to time, involved in various disputes, litigation, regulatory inquiry, audit, examinations and investigation matters that arise in the course of business. Given the inherent unpredictability of these proceedings, it is possible that future adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
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, 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 with the Plaintiffs, providing for a full release of claims against the defendants and dismissal of the Litigation with prejudice. Altisource recorded a $7.5 million loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 reflecting the settlement and associated defense costs. The settlement agreement contains customary terms and conditions and does not include any admission of liability, fault or unlawful conduct by the defendants.
The Company expects to fund its portion of the settlement from available cash. The Company expects that a significant portion of the liability may be eligible for reimbursement under applicable insurance, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policies. However, one insurer is disputing the extent of its available insurance coverage. There can be no assurance as to the timing or amount of any such reimbursement, if any.
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.
Our businesses are also subject to extensive regulation which may result in regulatory proceedings or actions against us. For further information, see Item 1A of Part I, “ Risk Factors ” above and Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements.
