Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd. increases dividend; Earnings Guidance is up

GEORGETOWN, Grand Cayman, Nov. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd.TM (“HLSS” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:HLSS) announced that today its Board of Directors increased the dividend for the months of November and December 2012 by $0.01 to $0.12 per ordinary share. The dividend will be payable to holders of record of our ordinary shares as follows:

Record Date                   Payment Date                           Amount per

                                                                                                  Ordinary Share

November 30, 2012        December 10. 2012                            $0.12

December 31, 2012          January 10, 2013                               $0.12

“HLSS increased dividends previously declared due to increased earnings expectations, which resulted from lower than anticipated prepayments through the middle of the fourth quarter,” said President John Van Vlack. “The October prepayment rate was 13.6% despite a rebound in the number of loan modifications. With the prepayment rate likely to remain below 15% for the fourth quarter, we are revising earnings guidance to $0.40 to $0.41 per share. At the lower end of our guidance, this dividend increase will bring our dividend payout ratio for the full year within our targeted range of 90-100% of net income over time.”
