WALTER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CORP. ANNOUNCES FULL YEAR AND

FOURTH QUARTER 2014 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

(Tampa, Fla.) – Walter Investment Management Corp. (NYSE: WAC) (“Walter Investment” or the “Company”) today announced operational highlights and financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014.

2014 Operational Highlights

2014 Financial Results

GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2014 was ($110.3) million, or ($2.93) per diluted share, compared to net income of $253.5 million, or $6.63 per diluted share for 2013. Included in the 2014 net loss are $317.7 million of pre-tax charges primarily due to $77.9 million in losses resulting from changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions used in the fair value of assets and liabilities carried at fair value, $100.8 million in legal and regulatory costs outside of the normal course of business, $82.3 million of goodwill impairment in the Reverse Mortgage business recognized during the second quarter and $56.7 million of Servicing segment advance provisions. Adjusted Earnings⁽¹⁾ after taxes for the year was $162.1 million, or $4.31 per share, decreasing 39.7% as compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA (“AEBITDA”) for the full year of 2014 was $604.2 million, also lower when compared to AEBITDA of $691.7 million for 2013.

The Company reported a GAAP net loss for the fourth quarter of 2014 of ($44.0) million, or ($1.17) per diluted share, which includes $100.3 million of pre-tax charges largely driven by $25.2 million in losses resulting from changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions used in the fair value of assets and liabilities carried at fair value, $50.4 million in costs associated with legal and regulatory matters outside of the normal course of business and $24.7 million in the Servicing segment for advance provisions. Adjusted Loss after taxes for the fourth quarter of 2014 was ($2.1) million, or ($0.06) per share, and Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $85.0 million.

“During 2014 Walter Investment executed against its strategic initiatives growing the serviced portfolio by 18% to $256.1 billion of UPB, closing $79.6 billion of MSR purchases and sub-servicing transfers in a challenging transfer environment including $18.5 billion of replenishment from our Originations segment, capitalizing on retention opportunities embedded in our serviced portfolio and achieving a recapture rate of 37% for the year. Additionally, we worked to reinforce our commitment to achieving a highly compliant operating environment focused on delivering high quality customer service to our consumers and clients,” said Mark J. O’Brien, Walter Investment’s Chairman and CEO.

“2015 promises to be a year of significant opportunity as we target meaningful growth in our mortgage servicing portfolio, which includes an increase in our sub-servicing mix, by leveraging our relationships with external capital partners, continue to grow our retail originations businesses, and undertake our cost savings and operational efficiency initiatives,” continued O’Brien. “We have agreed to a proposed stipulated order with the FTC and CFPB which is subject to approval by the FTC, CFPB and the court and expect the settlement approval process may take a month or two. We believe the proposed settlement is in the best interest of our business and all stakeholders.

Our balance sheet initiatives, which may include the sale of a portion of our residual interest in the Residual Trusts, select MSR dispositions and a review of alternatives for managing our liabilities, will support our goal of strengthening both our balance sheet and capital structure. Additionally, by consolidating our Green Tree and Ditech brands under the name “Ditech, a Walter Company” and enhancing focus on the use of technology, we will drive efficiencies through the reduction of duplicative functions and cost structures and become a stronger, more unified end-to-end mortgage company. We plan to make similar changes to our other Walter brands during the course of this process. As a diversified mortgage operation consolidated under one name we will be well-positioned to take advantage of sector opportunities and leverage our core capabilities to provide high quality service to our consumers and clients and deliver value to our shareholders.”

Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2014 Financial and Operating Highlights

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $1.5 billion, a decline of $315.3 million or 17% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily related to a $181.9 million decline in net servicing fees and revenues comprised of a $321.6 million decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights offset by a $143.0 million increase in gross servicing revenue and fees due to growth in the third-party servicing portfolio in the Company’s Servicing business; and a $136.8 million decline in net gains on sales of loans reflecting lower locked volumes in the consumer lending channels and a shift in mix to the lower margin correspondent channel in the Originations business. The decline in revenue was partially offset by $37.3 million higher other revenue, driven by $36.8 million of performance fees earned by the Investment Management business in 2014. Total expense increased 17% from $1.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $1.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014 primarily due to a $82.3 million goodwill impairment charge in the Reverse Mortgage reporting unit, increased legal and regulatory expenses of $100.8 million, increased Servicing segment advance provisions of $34.5 million and increased interest expense of $30.4 million offset by lower costs in the Originations segment.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $317.5 million, a decline of $85.3 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, driven by a $46.0 million decline in net servicing fees and revenues primarily comprised of a $70.2 million decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights partially offset by a $26.7 million increase in gross servicing fees due to third-party servicing portfolio growth; a $44.9 million decline in net gains on sales of loans reflecting lower locked volumes in the Consumer Lending channels and a shift in mix to the lower margin correspondent channel during the current quarter in the Originations business; and a $6.7 million decline in insurance revenue due to the loss of commissions earned on GSE lender placed policies beginning June 1, 2014. Total expense increased 12% from $382.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 to

2

$429.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014 primarily reflecting the impact of increased legal and regulatory expenses of $50.4 million and higher Servicing segment advance provisions of $11.6 million, partially offset by a decline of approximately $15.0 million in other expenses.

Segments

Results for the Company’s segments are presented below.

Servicing

The Servicing segment generated revenue of $113.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a 30% decline as compared to fourth quarter 2013 revenue of $162.9 million, primarily comprised of a $70.2 million decline in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights partially offset by increased gross servicing fees and revenues of $26.5 million resulting from growth in the third-party servicing portfolio. Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 included $169.1 million of servicing fees, $23.9 million of incentive and performance-based fees, and $21.4 million of ancillary and other fees.

Expense for the Servicing segment was $205.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, an increase of 44% as compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting a $30.7 million increase in charges related to legal and regulatory matters, $11.6 million increase in advance provisions and $7.9 million higher salaries and benefits expenses due to hiring to support the growth of our business, and included $8.9 million of depreciation and amortization costs and $12.1 million of interest expense.

The segment reported Adjusted Earnings (Loss) of $3.9 million and AEBITDA of $57.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, as compared to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) of $18.1 million and AEBITDA of $64.9 million in the prior year quarter.

The Servicing segment ended the quarter with approximately 2.2 million total accounts serviced with a UPB of approximately $238.1 billion. During the quarter, the Company experienced a net disappearance rate of 12.8%.

Originations

The Originations segment generated revenue of $89.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decline of 34% as compared to the prior year quarter, driven primarily by a shift in volume mix from the higher margin consumer lending channel to the lower margin correspondent lending channel. Expense for the Originations segment of $85.4 million, which includes $8.0 million of interest expense and $4.6 million of depreciation and amortization, declined 18% as compared to the prior year quarter reflecting expense reductions as the business works to align the employee base to match the scope and scale of current operations.

The segment generated Adjusted Earnings (Loss) of $9.3 million and AEBITDA of $12.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, as compared to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) of $34.1 million and AEBITDA of $37.6 million in the prior year quarter.

Direct margins in the consumer lending channel were 157 bps in the fourth quarter of 2014, a decrease of 49.2% as compared to the prior year quarter, driven by interest rate volatility and the payment of certain HARP-related fees which impacted the direct margin by (10) bps in the quarter. Funded loans in the fourth quarter totaled $5.0 billion, with 32% of that volume in the consumer lending channel and 68% generated by the correspondent lending channel. The total pull-through adjusted locked volume for the fourth quarter was $5.1 billion as compared to $4.6 billion for the prior year quarter.

Reverse Mortgage

The Reverse Mortgage segment generated revenue of $53.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, a 36% increase as compared to the prior year quarter, reflecting higher net fair value gains on reverse loans and related HMBS obligations. Fourth quarter revenues were comprised of a $40.5 million gain from the net impact of HECM loan and related HMBS obligation fair value adjustments including $18.3 million related to non-cash fair value adjustments, $9.8 million in net servicing revenue and fees and $2.8 million of other revenue. Total expenses for the fourth quarter were $56.9 million, a 32% increase as compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by higher expenses related to legal and regulatory matters, partially offset by a lower provision on uncollectible advances and uncollectible receivables.

3

The segment reported Adjusted Loss of ($0.5) million and AEBITDA of $0.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and AEBITDA of $3.0 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Funded origination volumes in the segment declined 37% as compared to the prior year quarter resulting from a shift in product focus by the business from the higher volume correspondent channel, which continues to experience pricing pressure, to the lower volume, higher margin retail channel. This shift was driven by changes to the HECM product implemented in 2013 which resulted in lower initial draw limits. Securitized volumes declined 25% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 driven by a decline in correspondent originations.

Other Segments

The ARM segment generated revenue of $19.4 million and incurred expense of $10.2 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2014. These results compare with revenue of $9.7 million and expenses of $7.2 million in the prior year period reflecting higher levels of earnings from the deficiency portfolio. ARM Adjusted Earnings (Loss) was $6.1 million and AEBITDA was $6.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) of $3.8 million and AEBITDA of $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Walter Investment’s Insurance segment generated revenue of $13.3 million, offset by expenses of $6.5 million for the fourth quarter. These results compare with revenue of $20.0 million and expenses of $9.9 million in the prior year period reflecting lower levels of insurance revenues due to the loss of commissions on GSE lender-placed policies beginning June 1, 2014. Insurance segment Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and AEBITDA were both $8.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and AEBITDA of approximately $11.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Loans and Residuals segment, which includes the legacy Walter Investment owned portfolio, generated interest income of $32.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Total expense for the segment was $27.7 million, including $18.5 million of interest expense on securitized debt. These results compare to interest income of $35.3 million and total expense of $29.2 million, including interest expense of $21.5 million, in the prior year period reflecting expected run-off of this portfolio. The Loans and Residuals segment generated Adjusted Earnings (Loss) of $4.6 million and AEBITDA of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) of $7.3 million and AEBITDA of $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

The Other segment generated revenue of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 and total expenses of $42.8 million including $37.0 million related to corporate debt as compared to revenue of $4.7 million and total expenses of $50.3 million in the prior year period. The fourth quarter of 2013 also reflected $12.5 million of losses on debt extinguishment in connection with the refinancing of our corporate debt. The Other segment generated Adjusted Loss of ($34.9) million and AEBITDA of ($0.4) million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to Adjusted Loss of ($27.3) million and AEBITDA of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Market Commentary and Outlook

Current economic conditions are favorable for Walter Investment’s key operating businesses. The Servicing segment is expected to benefit from improving borrower credit quality and declining delinquency rates which generally drive a reduction in related servicing costs. In recent months we have seen an increase in MSR portfolios available for sale in the market as large depositories shed portfolios associated with non-core clients, strategic MSR sales from non-bank servicers increase and small and mid-sized originators monetize their MSR assets. The market has remained competitive for these assets though the Company anticipates pricing may improve as the significant supply of MSR is absorbed by the market during 2015. Walter Investment remains opportunistic in reviewing potential acquisitions. Active regulatory oversight of the sector continues and the Company expects that in the current market participants who have scale, are appropriately capitalized, are compliant with regulatory requirements, and have significant experience and a strong track record in transferring servicing assets will be best positioned to grow their portfolios in the future.

Market expectations indicate that originations volume in the United States will grow approximately 7% over 2014 to $1.2 trillion. The broader market remains challenging but has improved over the last couple of months as rates have declined, refinance activity has increased and margins have firmed. Our retention channel has benefited from an increase of “in the money” borrowers in our serviced portfolios while our correspondent lending channel has seen improved volumes. The retail channel remains competitive as purchase money volumes remain relatively light.

The Company’s business plan for 2015 targets strong operational performance in each of its core businesses. Targets for the Servicing, ARM and Insurance businesses include growth of the serviced portfolio of approximately 10%, including additions from the Originations segment as well as a blend of bulk MSR purchases and sub-servicing and combined AEBITDA margins in the range of 14 - 18 bps, consistent with the 2014 combined AEBITDA range.

The Company anticipates a reduction in HARP volumes from 2014, partially offset by growth from our expanding retail and consumer direct efforts. Overall our plan targets volumes of $5.0 - $10.0 billion of UPB in the consumer lending channel at direct margins of 80 - 120 bps and growth in the correspondent lending channel is targeted to deliver originated volumes of $15.0 - $18.0 billion of UPB at direct margins of 10 - 20 bps.

2015 targets for the Reverse Mortgage business include average serviced UPB of $20.0 billion and origination volumes of $1.0 - $1.5 billion of UPB at a blended cash margin of 300 - 500 bps driven by the continued focus on growth of the retail channel. Earnings in the Reverse Mortgage business are expected to be positively impacted by the realization of earnings from anticipated tail draws from eligible consumers.

In addition to the above, management has committed to implement a plan that will generate significant cost savings in connection with our on-going operational enhancements. In January, management implemented actions expected to result in annual run-rate savings of $40.0 million with $35.0 million to be realized in 2015. Additional cost-savings opportunities of at least $35.0 million have been identified with approximately $25.0 million expected to be realized in 2015 related to capturing opportunities for enhanced benefits from shared services, the consolidation of Green Tree Servicing and Ditech in the second half 2015 and a significant acceleration of automation efforts which will increase efficiencies company-wide. One-time costs associated with the implementation of these initiatives are not expected to exceed $15.0 million.

We are continuing our work on balance sheet initiatives and would expect further progress in 2015. These near term initiatives could produce cash proceeds of $200 - $300 million in the first half of 2015.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We manage our Company in six reportable segments: Servicing, Originations, Reverse Mortgage, ARM, Insurance and Loans and Residuals. We measure the performance of our business segments through the following measures: income (loss) before income taxes, Adjusted Earnings (Loss), and Adjusted EBITDA. Management considers Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP financial measures, to be important in the evaluation of our business segments and of the Company as a whole, as well as for allocating capital resources to our segments. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are utilized by management to assess the underlying operational performance of the continuing operations of the business. In addition, analysts, investors, and creditors may use these measures when analyzing our operating performance. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our use of these measures and terms may vary from other companies in our industry.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) is a supplemental metric used by management to evaluate our Company’s underlying key drivers and operating performance of the business. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) is defined as income (loss) before income taxes plus fair value changes due to changes in valuation inputs and other assumptions, estimated settlements and costs for certain legal and regulatory matters, goodwill impairment, certain depreciation and amortization costs related to the increased basis in assets (including servicing rights and sub-servicing contracts) acquired within business combination transactions (or step-up depreciation and amortization), transaction and integration costs, share-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, the net impact of the Non-Residual Trusts, fair value to cash adjustments for reverse loans, and certain other cash and non-cash adjustments, primarily including severance expense and certain other non-recurring start-up and exit costs. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) excludes unrealized changes in fair value of MSRs that are based on projections of expected future cash flows and prepayments. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) includes both cash and non-cash gains from mortgage loan origination activities. Non-cash gains are net of non-cash charges or reserves provided. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) includes cash generated from reverse mortgage origination activities. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) may from time to time also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors with a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest expense on corporate debt, amortization of servicing rights and other fair value adjustments, estimated settlements and costs for certain legal and regulatory matters, goodwill impairment, fair value to cash adjustment for reverse loans, non-cash interest income, share-based compensation expense, servicing fee economics, Residual Trusts cash flows, transaction and integration related costs, the net impact of the Non-Residual Trusts and certain other cash and non-cash adjustments primarily including severance expense, the net provision for the repurchase of loans sold and certain other non-recurring start-up and exit costs. Adjusted EBITDA includes both cash and non-cash gains from mortgage loan origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the impact of fair value option accounting on certain assets and liabilities and includes cash generated from reverse mortgage origination activities. Adjusted EBITDA may also include other adjustments, as applicable based upon facts and circumstances, consistent with the intent of providing investors a supplemental means of evaluating our operating performance.

Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to (i) net income (loss) or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP or (ii) operating cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA have important limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of the limitations of these metrics are:

11

Because of these limitations, Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplements. Users of our financial statements are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA.

The tables above reconcile Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) before income taxes, which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to Adjusted Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA.
