[{"type":"text","content":"LUXEMBOURG, July 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (“Altisource” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ASPS), a leading provider and marketplace for the real estate and mortgage industries, today reported financial results for the second quarter 2023. “Our Adjusted EBITDA performance continues to improve over 2022. Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA was 47% better than the same period in 2022 and year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA was 81%, or $8.7 million better.

Our sales pipeline and wins in both of our segments remain strong, and we continue to aggressively manage our expenses. Our consolidated weighted average pipeline at the end of the second quarter is an estimated $63 million of annual revenue on a stabilized basis, representing 48% of our annualized second quarter 2023 revenue. We are also winning new business. Since last quarter, we’ve won business that we estimate will generate $18.6 million of annual revenue on a stabilized basis. This includes a July...
