Rapid Growth = Service Quality Concerns “On 19 March 2012, we downgraded to SQ2- from SQ2 our service quality (SQ) assessment on Ocwen Loan Servicing.. The downgrade and the review for downgrade were due to concerns related to the rapid growth of Ocwen’s servicing portfolio and the challenges it faces in integrating the acquired servicing platforms and managing the additional distressed loan portfolios.” (Moody’s Investor Service, August 17, 2012) “Given the rapid growth of its servicing portfolio, Moody's Investors Service analysts are reviewing for downgrade the quality of Ocwen Loan Servicing's primary servicing and special servicing of subprime residential mortgage loans.” (National Mortgage News, January 23, 2014) Ocwen has been criticized for its heavy reliance on offshore employees. In 2012, according to the Wall Street Journal, Fannie Mae expressed concerns about “whether proper controls [could] be enforced with call centers in foreign jurisdictions,” which could complicate the safeguarding of private financial information (Berthelsen and Johnson 2012). 8/20/2014

To Make Things Worse Servicing is now “In Irons” • • • • • • • • •
Large banks have been sellers of MSRs, especially sub-prime Acquisitions been OCN’s only growth driver OCN’s origination business too small to matter here Large-sized UPB sales are largely done Regulators have, for now, frozen OCN’s ability to acquire MSR Fannie/Freddie/Ginnie may be reluctant to do business Private banks may be concerned as OCN has grown too fast Runoffs – Loan lifespan averages seven years One positive offset for MSR could be rising rates in future

Ocwen: Sum-Of-Parts Valuation Servicing : Fair value (FV) of the MSR portfolio + Origination: FV of loans held for sale plus franchise value for the origination business; typically 0.5%-1.5% of loans originated; valuation range channel-dependent + FV for the remaining assets like cash, premises, equipment, receivables etc. minus FV of the liabilities.

15
Ocwen: Sum-Of-Parts Valuation Servicing : $2.4B ($2B LoCom BV + $390M bump per OCN management) + Origination: $160M (2% of total 2013 originated loan volume) + Net FV for the remaining assets: $145M = Total Ocwen Value: $2.695B Or $19.60 per share

Summary 1. Ocwen grew exponentially via acquisitions over the past three years. 2. As a result, investors pushed its P/BV ratio from 0.3x in 2008 to 4.3x in 2013 anticipating that growth will continue at historical pace. 3. Avenues of growth are now quite limited and Ocwen is probably in the worst position versus peers to expand servicing assets. 4. Ocwen’s origination business is too small to make a dent. 5. Due to mix change, revenue and profitability metrics have deteriorated and future costs and capital requirements will increase due to compliance and regulation. These are not “one-time” issues. 6. Sum-of-Parts valuation gets us to a fair value of ~$20 per share, significantly lower than current stock price.
