Ocwen Financial Corporation, commented on the recent ratings action by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). Ron Faris, President and CEO of Ocwen said “We are happy to see that the strategy we have deployed is working and achieving its objectives. Execution on sales of a portion of our Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac servicing portfolios has resulted in raised liquidity, reduced corporate leverage and a simplified operating structure. We are happy that Moody’s has upgraded our Corporate Family Rating, Senior Secured Bank Credit Facility rating, and Senior Unsecured Debt rating. We are also happy to see that Moody’s has changed its outlook for all of these ratings to stable.”
Mr. Faris also addressed the CreditWatch declaration by Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) on Ocwen’s servicer rankings. Said Faris, “We were surprised by the S&P declaration and specifically their reasons because we believe that we have made noteworthy progress in resolving past regulatory concerns, strengthened our financial condition, and, over the past couple of years, continually invested in the quality and capacity of our risk, compliance, and internal audit functions. We also believe that our risk, compliance, and internal audit scope and effectiveness are consistent with or better than a number of other large mortgage servicers. With the recent filing of our first quarter Form 10-Q and 2014 Form 10-K, we believe that S&P is reviewing the impact of our revealed regulatory and legal updates in those filings. As formerly stated, we are not aware of any unresolved issues with state agencies that would have a material financial impact on the Company. Similarly, we are not aware of, nor anticipating any, material fines, penalties, or settlements and we are not aware of any pending or threatened actions to suspend or revoke any state licenses. We also continue to have frequent and transparent communications with state and federal regulators, Attorneys General, GSE’s, and other important stakeholders.”
