(Reuters) -Australia’s Computershare said on Tuesday it was selling its U.S. mortgage services arm to asset manager Rithm Capital for $720 million, as the share registry company aims to focus on its core businesses.<\/p>\n

The deal includes the sale of Specialised Loan Servicing (SLS), a mortgage subservicer in the U.S., and would add a mortgage servicing rights portfolio of about $136 billion in unpaid principal balance to Rithm.<\/p>\n

After the close of the transaction, SLS’ portfolio and operations would be transitioned to and managed by Newrez, a Rithm portfolio company.<\/p>\n

Shares of Computershare jumped as much as 3.3% to A$26.66 as of 2344 GMT, their highest level since Dec. 22.<\/p>\n

The company entered the loan-servicing market with the purchase of SLS in the U.S. in 2011. <\/p>\n

The divestment of the U.S. mortgage services allows Computershare to focus on its core businesses, which have “high levels of recurring revenues, long-term growth runways, low capital intensity and attractive returns through the cycle”, said Computershare CEO and President Stuart Irving.<\/p>\n

The deal is expected to aid Computershare’s earnings per share in the first year after the completion of the divestment, which is expected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.<\/p>\n

Rithm, which is focussed on the real estate and financial services industries, will fund the acquisition through a combination of existing cash, available liquidity along with additional mortgage servicing rights financing.<\/p>\n

“The deal looks like a good one for Computershare and gives them focus again,” said Henry Jennings, senior market analyst, marcustoday.<\/p>\n

Mortgage markets are highly competitive, added Jennings, saying the divestment seems a sensible move for the company to concentrate on core operations.<\/p>\n

“The addition of SLS continues to grow our best-in-class special servicing business and adds more clients and homeowners to the Newrez platform,” said Baron Silverstein, president, Newrez.<\/p>\n

Computershare expects to record an one-off stautory pre-tax loss of around $150 million to $180 million from the divestment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
