  1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Rithm Capital Corp. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Rithm Capital” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation formed in September 2011 as a limited liability company (commenced operations in December 2011), is a global asset manager focused on real estate, credit and financial services.

Prior to June 17, 2022, Rithm Capital operated under a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with FIG LLC (the “Former Manager”), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Effective June 17, 2022, Rithm Capital entered into an internalization agreement with the Former Manager, pursuant to which the Management Agreement was terminated, the Company internalized its management functions (such transactions, the “Internalization”) and, in connection with the Internalization, the Company agreed to pay the Former Manager $400.0 million (subject to certain adjustments), which payments were completed by December 15, 2022. As a result of the Internalization, Rithm Capital operates as an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”).

Rithm Capital seeks to generate long-term value for its investors by using its investment expertise to identify, manage and invest in real estate related and other financial assets and more recently, broader asset management capabilities, in each case that provides investors with attractive risk-adjusted returns. The Company’s investments in real estate related assets include its equity interest in operating companies, including leading origination and servicing platforms held through wholly-owned subsidiaries, Newrez LLC (“Newrez”) and Genesis Capital LLC (“Genesis”), as well as investments in single-family rentals (“SFR”), title, appraisal and property preservation and maintenance businesses. The Company’s real estate related strategy involves opportunistically pursuing acquisitions and seeking to establish strategic partnerships that the Company believes enables it to maximize the value of its investments by offering products and services related to the lifecycle of transactions that affect each mortgage loan and underlying residential property or collateral.

Rithm Capital, through NRM and Newrez, is licensed or otherwise eligible to service residential mortgage loans in all states within the United States of America (“US”) and the District of Columbia. NRM and Newrez are also approved to service mortgage loans on behalf of investors, including Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac,” and together with Fannie Mae, “GSEs”), and in the case of Newrez, Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Newrez is also eligible to perform servicing on behalf of other servicers as a subservicer.”

  1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Interim Financial Statements— The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP” or “US GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of Rithm Capital’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Rithm Capital and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Rithm Capital consolidates those entities in which it has control over significant operating, financing and investing decisions of the entity, as well as those entities deemed to be VIEs in which Rithm Capital is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For entities over which Rithm Capital exercises significant influence, but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation, Rithm Capital uses the equity method of accounting whereby it records its share of the underlying income of such entities. Distributions from equity method investees are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the cumulative earnings approach, where all distributions up to cumulative earnings are classified as distributions of earnings.

Reclassifications— Certain prior period amounts in Rithm Capital’s consolidated financial statements and respective notes have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income, total assets, total liabilities or stockholders’ equity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets— The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may exceed their current fair values. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were recognized on long-lived assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Subsequently, if events or market conditions affect the estimated fair value of an impaired long-lived asset, the Company will adjust the carrying value of these long-lived assets in the period in which the impairment occurs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

Risks and Uncertainties — In the normal course of its business, Rithm Capital primarily encounters two significant types of economic risk: credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the risk of default on Rithm Capital’s investments that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments due to changes in prepayment rates, interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including risks that impact the value of the collateral underlying Rithm Capital’s investments. Taking into consideration these risks along with estimated prepayments, financings, collateral values, payment histories and other information, Rithm Capital believes that the carrying values of its investments are reasonable. Furthermore, for each of the periods presented, a significant portion of Rithm Capital’s assets are dependent on its servicers’ and subservicers’ abilities to perform their servicing obligations with respect to the residential mortgage loans underlying Rithm Capital’s Excess mortgage servicing rights (“Excess MSRs”), mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), MSR financing receivables, servicer advance investments, Non-Agency RMBS and loans. If a servicer is terminated, Rithm Capital’s right to receive its portion of the cash flows related to interests in servicing related assets may also be terminated.

Use of Estimates— The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that estimates utilized in preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. The most critical estimates include those related to fair value measurements of the Company’s assets and liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Foreign Currency — The functional currency of substantially all of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries is the US dollar, as their operations are considered extensions of the US parent’s operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into US dollars at the closing rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into US dollars using the historical exchange rate. As a result, no transaction gains or losses are recognized for nonmonetary assets and liabilities. The profit or loss arising from foreign currency transactions are remeasured using the rate in effect on the date of any relevant transaction. Gains and losses on transactions denominated in foreign currencies due to changes in exchange rates are recorded within general and administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized gains and losses due to changes in exchange rates related to investments denominated in a currency other than an entity’s functional currency are reported in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has a subsidiary acquired as part of the acquisition of Sculptor whose functional currency is the Euro, and the financial statements of such entity are translated into US dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period, and the statement of operations of the entity is translated using the rate in effect on the date of any relevant transaction. Gains and losses arising from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

See Note 2 in the Company’s Annual Report for the complete listing of the significant accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard was issued to ease the accounting effects of reform to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other reference rates. The standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt, derivatives and other contracts affected by reference rate reform. The standard was effective as of March 2020. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 deferring the expiration date to December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has transitioned from LIBOR to an alternative benchmark. The Company's financing arrangements have provisions in place that provide for an alternative to LIBOR. In addition, the Company has amended the terms of certain financing arrangements, where necessary, to transition or direct the transition to an alternative benchmark. The Company does not currently intend to amend the 7.50% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A”), the 7.125% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series B”) or the 6.375% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C”) to change the existing USD-LIBOR cessation fallback language.

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The standard clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring the security’s fair value. The standard also requires certain disclosures for equity securities that are subject to contractual restrictions. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company’s adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This standard requires public companies to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis to provide more transparency about the expenses they incur from revenue generating business units. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, to clarify the scope application of profits interest and similar awards by adding illustrative guidance to help entities determine whether profit interests and similar awards should be accounted for as share-based payment arrangements within the scope of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-01 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

At March 31, 2024, Rithm Capital’s reportable segments included (i) Origination and Servicing, (ii) Investment Portfolio, (iii) Mortgage Loans Receivable, (iv) Asset Management and (v) Corporate. The Corporate segment primarily consists of general and administrative expenses, corporate cash and related interest income, senior unsecured notes (Note 18) and related interest expense.

In 2023, Rithm Capital reevaluated the composition and number of its reportable segments based on the significance of certain business activities to its operations and performance evaluation. Based on this reevaluation, the Company revised its presentation and composition of reportable segments. In conjunction with the acquisition of Sculptor, the Company reevaluated portfolio management to reflect its strategic growth as an asset manager, while maintaining its core business lines. The Asset Management segment was therefore identified and reported in 2023, to primarily reflect operations of Sculptor. The Investment Portfolio consists of previously segregated segments (i) MSR Related Investments, (ii) Real Estate Securities, (iii) Properties and Residential Mortgage Loans, (iv) Consumer loans and (v) certain ancillary investments and equity method investments previously reflected within the Corporate segment. The Company aggregated these segments to reflect is approach to allocating capital and making investment decisions to its portfolio assets. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the integration of Caliber was completed and, as a result of servicing transfers, the majority of the MSR portfolio is now serviced by Newrez. To reflect the consolidation of assets and operations, Newrez’s origination and servicing operations and the associated owned MSR portfolio are consolidated within the Origination and Servicing reportable segment.

Segment information for prior periods has been recasted to reflect these changes and to present information for each reportable segment.

Residential Mortgage Loans Subject to Repurchase

Rithm Capital, through Newrez, is an approved issuer of Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and originates and securitizes government-insured residential mortgage loans. As the issuer of the Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securitizations, Rithm Capital has the unilateral right to repurchase loans from the securitizations when they are delinquent for more than 90 days. Loans in forbearance that are three or more consecutive payments delinquent are included as delinquent loans permitted to be repurchased. As a result, once the delinquency criteria have been met and regardless of whether the repurchase option has been exercised, the Company accounts for the loans as if they had been repurchased. The Company recognizes such loans and a corresponding liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024, Rithm Capital reflected approximately $1.8 billion in residential mortgage loans subject to repurchase and residential mortgage loans repurchase liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rithm Capital may re-pool repurchased loans into new Ginnie Mae securitizations upon re-performance of the loan or otherwise sell to third-party investors. The Company does not change the accounting for MSRs related to previously sold loans upon recognizing loans eligible for repurchase. Rather, upon repurchase of a loan, the MSR is written off. As of March 31, 2024, Rithm Capital holds approximately $0.5 billion of such repurchased loans presented within Residential mortgage loans, held for sale on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Ocwen MSR Financing Receivable Transactions

In July 2017, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (collectively with certain affiliates, “Ocwen”, and subsequently PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHH”) (as successor by merger to Ocwen)) and Rithm Capital entered into an agreement to transfer from Ocwen to Rithm Capital of Ocwen’s remaining interests in the MSRs relating to loans with an aggregate UPB of approximately $110.0 billion and with respect to which Rithm Capital already held certain rights (“Rights to MSRs”). Additionally, in January 2018, Ocwen sold and transferred to Rithm Capital certain Rights to MSRs and other assets related to MSRs for loans with a UPB of approximately $86.8 billion, of which approximately $11.1 billion UPB, as March 31, 2024, of underlying loans consents have not been received and all other conditions to transfer have not been met and, accordingly, are recorded as MSR financing receivables.

Geographic concentrations of investments expose Rithm Capital to the risk of economic downturns within the relevant states. Any such downturn in a state where Rithm Capital holds significant investments could affect the underlying borrower’s ability to make mortgage payments and therefore could have a meaningful, negative impact on the MSRs.

Residential Mortgage Loan Subservicing

Newrez performs servicing of residential mortgage loans for unaffiliated parties under servicing agreements. The servicing agreements do not meet the criteria to be recognized as a servicing right asset and, therefore, are not recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The UPB of residential mortgage loans serviced for others as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $111.3 billion and $94.1 billion, respectively. Rithm Capital earned servicing revenue of $38.1 million and $34.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to unaffiliated subserviced loans which is presented within Servicing revenue, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In relation to certain owned MSRs, Rithm Capital engages unaffiliated licensed mortgage servicers as subservicers to perform the operational servicing duties, including recapture activities, in exchange for a subservicing fee, which is recognized as subservicing expense and presented as part of General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2024, PHH and Valon Mortgage, Inc. (“Valon”) subservice 8.5% and 4.8%, respectively, of MSRs owned by Rithm Capital. The remaining 86.7% of owned MSRs are serviced by Newrez (Note 1).

Servicer Advances Receivable

In connection with Rithm Capital’s ownership of MSRs, the Company assumes the obligation to serve as a liquidity provider to initially fund servicer advances on the underlying pool of mortgages (Note 22) it services. These servicer advances are recorded when advanced and are included in servicer advances receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(B)Includes $372.2 million and $405.6 million of servicer advances receivable related to Ginnie Mae MSRs, respectively, recoverable from either the borrower or Ginnie Mae. Expected losses for advances associated with Ginnie Mae loans in the MSR portfolio are considered in the MSR fair value through a non-reimbursable advance loss assumption.

(C)Excludes $64.5 million and $66.4 million, respectively, in unamortized advance discount and reserves, net of accruals for advance recoveries. These reserves relate to inactive loans in the foreclosure or liquidation process.

Rithm Capital’s servicer advances receivable related to Non-Agency MSRs generally have the highest reimbursement priority pursuant to the underlying servicing agreements (i.e., ranks “top of the waterfall”) and Rithm Capital is generally entitled to repayment from the respective loan or REO liquidation proceeds before any interest or principal is paid on the notes issued by the trust. In most cases, advances in excess of respective the loan or REO liquidation proceeds may be recovered from pool-level proceeds. Furthermore, to the extent that advances are not recoverable by Rithm Capital as a result of the subservicer’s failure to comply with applicable requirements in the relevant servicing agreements, Rithm Capital has a contractual right to be reimbursed by the subservicer. For advances on loans that have been liquidated, sold, paid in full or modified, the Company has provisioned $93.2 million, or 3.5%, and $93.7 million, or 3.3%, for expected non-recovery of advances as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

  1. SERVICER ADVANCE INVESTMENTS

Servicer advance investments consist of arrangements to fund existing outstanding servicer advances and the requirement to purchase all future servicer advances made with respect to a specified pool of residential mortgage loans in exchange for the basic fee component of the related MSR. Rithm Capital elected to record its servicer advance investments, including the right to the basic fee component of the related MSRs, at fair value under the fair value option election to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of market factors.

Mr. Cooper or SLS, as applicable, as servicer, performs all of the servicing and advancing functions on the Company’s servicer advance assets, retains the ancillary income and assumes servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer of the underlying loans in the portfolio.

  1. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING

Rithm Capital enters into economic hedges including interest rate swaps, to-be-announced forward contract positions (“TBAs”) and treasury short sales to hedge a portion of its interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate risk is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors. Rithm Capital’s credit risk with respect to economic hedges is the risk of default on Rithm Capital’s investments that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.

Rithm Capital may at times hold TBAs or short treasury positions in order to mitigate Rithm Capital’s interest rate risk on certain specified MBSs and MSRs. Amounts or obligations owed by or to Rithm Capital are subject to the right of set-off with the counterparty. As part of executing these trades, Rithm Capital may enter into agreements with its counterparties that govern the transactions for the purchases or sales made, including margin maintenance, payment and transfer, events of default, settlements and various other provisions. Changes in the value of economic hedges designed to protect against MBSs and MSR fair value fluctuations, or hedging gains and losses, are reflected in the tables below.

As of March 31, 2024, Rithm Capital also held interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), which represent a commitment to a particular interest rate provided the borrower is able to close the loan within a specified period, and forward loan sale and securities delivery commitments, which represent a commitment to sell specific residential mortgage loans at prices which are fixed as of the forward commitment date. Rithm Capital enters into forward loan sale and securities delivery commitments in order to hedge the exposure related to IRLCs and residential mortgage loans that are not covered by residential mortgage loan sale commitments.

At the time of issuance, the 2025 Senior Notes were not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries and none of its subsidiaries are required to guarantee the 2025 Senior Notes in the future, except under limited specified circumstances.

The 2025 Senior Notes contain financial covenants and other non-financial covenants, including, among other things, limits on the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur certain indebtedness (subject to various exceptions), requires that the Company maintain Total Unencumbered Assets, as defined in the Indenture, dated September 16, 2020, pursuant to which the 2025 Senior Notes were issued (the “2025 Notes Indenture”) of not less than 120% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding unsecured debt of the Company and its subsidiaries, and imposes certain requirements in order for the Company to merge or consolidate with or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another person, in each case subject to certain qualifications set forth in the debt agreement. If the Company were to fail to comply with these covenants, after the expiration of the applicable cure periods, the debt maturity could be accelerated or other remedies could be sought by the lenders. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2025 Notes Indenture), each holder of the 2025 Senior Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the outstanding balance at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of such repurchase.

In connection with the offering of the 2029 Senior Notes, the Company tendered for and repurchased $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2025 Senior Notes for cash in a total amount of $282.4 million, inclusive of an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes and accrued and unpaid interest. Following such tender offer, $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2025 Senior Notes remains outstanding.

Tax Receivable Agreement

At the time of its initial public offering in 2007, Sculptor entered into a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) with the former holders of units in Sculptor’s operating partnerships (the “TRA Holders”). The TRA provides for the payment by Sculptor to the TRA Holders of a portion of the cash savings in US federal, state and local income tax that Sculptor realizes as a result of certain tax benefits attributable to taxable acquisitions by Sculptor (and certain affiliates and successors) of Sculptor operating partnership units.

The TRA includes certain “change of control” assumptions that became applicable as a result of the acquisition of Sculptor, including the assumption that Sculptor (or its successor) has sufficient taxable income to use the relevant tax benefits. As a result, payments under the TRA will be calculated without regard to Sculptor’s ability to actually use tax assets (including net operating losses), the use of which may be significantly limited and may therefore exceed the actual tax savings to Sculptor of the associated tax assets.

As of March 31, 2024, the estimated undiscounted future payment under the TRA was $267.9 million. The carrying value of the TRA liability measured at amortized cost was $174.8 million as of March 31, 2024 with interest expense recognized under the effective interest method. The TRA liability is recorded in Unsecured notes, net of issuance costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The table below presents the Company’s estimate as of March 31, 2024, of the maximum undiscounted amounts that would be payable under the TRA using the assumptions described above. In light of the numerous factors affecting Sculptor’s obligation to make such payments, the timing and amounts of any such actual payments may differ materially from those presented in the table.

  1. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The Company holds a variety of assets, certain of which are not publicly traded or that are otherwise illiquid. Significant judgement and estimation go into the assumptions that drive the fair value of these assets. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of investments that are determined to be illiquid or do not have readily ascertainable fair values, the estimates of fair value may differ from the values ultimately realized, and those differences can be material.

US GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type and the specific characteristics of the assets and liabilities, including existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Assets and liabilities with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively-quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed into one of the following categories based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2 – Valuations based principally on other observable market parameters, including:

Quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments,

Quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments,

Other observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment rates, loss severities, credit risks and default rates (“CDR”), and

Market corroborated inputs (derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data).

Level 3 – Valuations based significantly on unobservable inputs.

Rithm Capital follows this hierarchy for its fair value measurements. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

See Note 20 in the Company’s Annual Report for a listing of criteria used to determine the significant inputs for each asset class.

Excess MSRs, MSRs and MSR Financing Receivables Valuation

Fair value estimates of Rithm Capital’s MSRs and Excess MSRs were based on internal pricing models. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included expectations of prepayment rates, delinquency rates, recapture rates for Excess MSRs, the mortgage servicing amount or excess mortgage servicing amount of the underlying residential mortgage loans, as applicable, and discount rates that market participants would use in determining the fair values of MSRs on similar pools of residential mortgage loans. In addition, for MSRs, significant inputs included the market-level estimated cost of servicing.

Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rates, prepayment or delinquency rates, or costs of servicing, in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, whereas significant increases (decreases) in the recapture rates or mortgage servicing amount or excess mortgage servicing amount, as applicable, in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the delinquency rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the prepayment rate.

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the ranges and weighted averages of inputs used as of March 31, 2024:

As of March 31, 2024, weighted average costs of subservicing of $6.91 – $7.09 ($6.95) per loan per month was used to value the agency MSRs. Weighted average costs of subservicing of $7.54 – $9.55 ($9.17) per loan per month was used to value the non-agency MSRs, including MSR financing receivables. Weighted average cost of subservicing of $8.37 per loan per month was used to value the Ginnie Mae MSRs.

(F)Weighted average maturity of the underlying residential mortgage loans in the pool.

(G)Recapture is not considered a significant input for MSRs and MSR financing receivables.

With respect to valuing the PHH-serviced MSRs and MSR financing receivables, which include a significant servicer advances receivable component, the cost of financing servicer advances receivable is assumed to be SOFR plus 4.1%.

As of March 31, 2024, a weighted average discount rate of 8.8% (range of 8.5% –9.0%) was used to value Rithm Capital’s Excess MSRs (directly and through equity method investees). As of March 31, 2024, a weighted average discount rate of 8.5% (range of 7.9% –10.8%) was used to value Rithm Capital’s MSRs and MSR financing receivables.

Each of the preceding sensitivity analyses is hypothetical and is provided for illustrative purposes only. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented. In particular, the results are calculated by stressing a particular economic assumption independent of changes in any other assumption; in practice, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might counteract or amplify the sensitivities. Also, changes in the fair value based on a 10% variation in an assumption generally may not be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear.

Real Estate and Other Securities Valuation

Rithm Capital’s real estate and other securities valuation methodology and results are detailed below. Treasury securities are valued using market-based prices published by the US Department of the Treasury and are classified as Level 1.

(A)Rithm Capital generally obtains pricing service quotations or broker quotations fromtwo sources. Rithm Capital evaluates quotes received, determines one as being most representative of fair value and does not use an average of the quotes. Even if Rithm Capital receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because it believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases, for Non-Agency securities, there is a wide disparity between the quotes Rithm Capital receives. Rithm Capital believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on Rithm Capital’s own fair value analysis, it selects one of the quotes which is believed to most accurately reflect fair value. Rithm Capital has not adjusted any of the quotes received in the periods presented. These quotations are generally received via email and contain disclaimers which state that they are “indicative” and not “actionable” — meaning that the party giving the quotation is not bound to purchase the security at the quoted price. Rithm Capital’s investments in Agency RMBS are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the market for these securities is active and market prices are readily observable.

The third-party pricing services and brokers engaged by Rithm Capital (collectively, “valuation providers”) use either the income approach or the market approach, or a combination of the two, in arriving at their estimated valuations of securities. Valuation providers using the market approach generally look at prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. Valuation providers using the income approach create pricing models that generally incorporate such assumptions as discount rates, expected prepayment rates, expected default rates and expected loss severities. Rithm Capital has reviewed the methodologies utilized by its valuation providers and has found them to be consistent with GAAP requirements. In addition to obtaining multiple quotations, when available, and reviewing the valuation methodologies of its valuation providers, Rithm Capital creates its own internal pricing models for Level 3 securities and uses the outputs of these models as part of its process of evaluating the fair value estimates it receives from its valuation providers. These models incorporate the same types of assumptions as the models used by the valuation providers, but the assumptions are developed independently. These assumptions are regularly refined and updated at least quarterly by Rithm Capital and reviewed by its independent valuation group, which is separate from its investment acquisition and management group, to reflect market developments and actual performance.

For 46.2% of Non-Agency securities, the ranges and weighted averages of assumptions used by Rithm Capital’s valuation providers are summarized in the table below. The assumptions used by Rithm Capital’s valuation providers with respect to the remainder of Non-Agency securities were not readily available.

Residential Mortgage Loans Valuation

Rithm Capital, through Newrez, originates residential mortgage loans that it intends to sell into Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securitizations. Residential mortgage loans HFS, at fair value are typically pooled together and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility, product type, interest rate and credit quality. Newrez also originates non-qualified residential mortgage (“Non-QM”) loans that do not meet the qualified mortgage rules per the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that it intends to sell to private investors. Residential mortgage loans HFS, at fair value are valued using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these prices are derived from market observable inputs, Rithm Capital classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Originated residential mortgage loans HFS for which there is little to no

observable trading activity of similar instruments are valued using Level 3 measurements based upon (i) internal pricing models to forecast loan level cash flows using inputs such as default rates, prepayments speeds and discount rates or (ii) consensus pricing (broker quotes) or historical sale transactions for similar loans.

Residential mortgage loans HFS, at fair value also include nonconforming seasoned mortgage loans acquired and identified for securitization, which are valued using internal pricing models to forecast loan level cash flows based on a potential securitization exit using inputs such as default rates, prepayments speeds and discount rates, and may include adjustments based on consensus pricing (broker quotes). Residential mortgage loans HFI, at fair value include nonconforming seasoned mortgage loans acquired and not identified for sale or securitization, which are valued using internal pricing models to forecast loan level cash flows using inputs such as default rates, prepayments speeds and discount rates, and may include adjustments based on consensus pricing (broker quotes). As the internal pricing models are based on certain unobservable inputs, Rithm Capital classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

For non-performing loans, asset liquidation cash flows are derived based on the estimated time to liquidate the loan, the estimated value of the collateral, expected costs and estimated home price levels. Estimated cash flows for both performing and non-performing loans are discounted at yields considered appropriate to arrive at a reasonable exit price for the asset. Rithm Capital classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage Loans Receivable Valuation

Rithm Capital classifies certain mortgage loans receivable as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Performing originated mortgage loans are valued using (i) a market-based approach by utilizing the fair value of securities backed by similar loans adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole loan or (ii) current commitments to acquire the loans. Non-performing loan liquidation cash flows are derived based on the estimated value of the collateral, estimated recoveries and costs, and estimated time to liquidate the asset. Acquired mortgage loans receivable are valued using internal pricing models to forecast cash flows with inputs such as default rates, prepayments speeds and discount rates, and may include adjustments based on consensus pricing (broker quotes).

Mortgage loans receivable, at fair value$2,042,914

Rithm Capital has securitized certain mortgage loans receivable which are held as part of a CFE. A CFE is a variable interest entity that holds financial assets, issues beneficial interests in those assets and has no more than nominal equity, and the beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. GAAP allows entities to elect to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the CFE using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities of the CFE. Rithm Capital has elected the fair value option for initial and subsequent recognition of the debt issued by its consolidated securitization trust and has determined that the consolidated securitization trust meets the definition of a CFE. See Note 20 for further discussion regarding VIEs and securitization trusts. Rithm Capital determined the inputs to the fair value measurement of the financial liabilities of its CFE to be more observable than those of the financial assets and, as a result, has used the fair value of the financial liabilities of the CFE to measure the fair value of the financial assets of the CFE. The fair value of the debt issued by the CFE is typically valued using external pricing data, which includes third-party valuations. The securitized mortgage loans receivable, which are assets of the CFE, are included in mortgage loans receivable, at fair value, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt issued by the CFE is included in Secured Notes and Bonds Payable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gain (loss) from changes in fair value of the debt issued by the CFE is included in realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The securitized mortgage loans receivable and the debt issued by the Company’s CFE are both classified as Level 2.

Derivatives and Hedging Valuation

Rithm Capital enters into economic hedges including interest rate swaps, caps and TBAs, which are categorized as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. Rithm Capital generally values such derivatives using quotations, similarly to the method of valuation used for Rithm Capital’s other assets that are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Treasury short sales are valued using market-based prices published by the US Department of the Treasury and classified as Level 1.

Other commitment relates to an agreement entered into by a subsidiary of Rithm Capital with its affiliate requiring a payment under certain circumstances dependent upon amounts realized from an investment of the affiliate. It is valued at the excess of cost basis over the intrinsic value of the underlying investment and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, Rithm Capital enters into IRLCs, which are valued using internal pricing models (i) incorporating market pricing for instruments with similar characteristics, (ii) estimating the fair value of the servicing rights expected to be recorded at sale of the loan and (iii) adjusting for anticipated loan funding probability. Both the fair value of servicing rights expected to be recorded at the date of sale of the loan and anticipated loan funding probability are significant unobservable inputs and therefore, IRLCs are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the ranges and weighted averages of inputs used in valuing IRLCs as of March 31, 2024:

Notes Receivable and Loans Receivable

From time to time, Rithm Capital purchases notes and loans receivable that are generally collateralized by commercial real estate assets. Rithm Capital generally uses internal discounted cash flow pricing models to estimate the fair value of notes and loans receivable. Solely for March 31, 2024, the fair value of notes receivable was determined utilizing a market approach based on an observable trade in the specific security. Due to the fact that the fair value of Rithm Capital’s notes and loans receivable are based significantly on unobservable inputs, these are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Future cash flows are generally estimated using contractual economic terms, as well as significant unobservable inputs, such as the underlying collateral performance. Other significant unobservable inputs include discount rates which estimate the market participants’ required rates of return.

As of March 31, 2024, the structured alternative investment solution had unfunded commitments of $68.4 million related to the investments presented in the table above, which will be funded by capital within the consolidated funds from its underlying open-ended funds and liquid assets.

Notes payable of consolidated funds of $218.1 million as of March 31, 2024 are valued using independent pricing services and are classified as Level 3. The Company performs analytical procedures and compares independent pricing service valuations to other vendors’ pricing as applicable. The Company also performs due diligence reviews on independent pricing services on an annual basis and performs other due diligence procedures as may be deemed necessary. The Company measures the financial liabilities of its consolidated entity based on the fair value of the financial assets of the consolidated entity under the CFE election, as the Company believes the fair value of the financial assets is more observable. Notes payable of consolidated funds are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gain (loss) from changes in fair value is included in realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. For residential mortgage loans HFS, foreclosed real estate accounted for as REO and SFR, Rithm Capital measures the assets at the lower of cost or fair value and which may require, from time to time, a nonrecurring fair value adjustment.

At March 31, 2024, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were $95.4 million. The $95.4 million of assets include approximately $74.4 million of residential mortgage loans HFS and $21.0 million of REO. The fair value of Rithm Capital’s residential mortgage loans, HFS is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model analysis using internal pricing models and is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the inputs used in valuing these residential mortgage loans as of March 31, 2024:

The fair value of REO is estimated using a broker’s price opinion discounted based upon Rithm Capital’s experience with actual liquidation values and, therefore, is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These discounts to the broker price opinion generally range from 10% –25% (weighted average of 20%), depending on the information available to the broker.

The total change in the recorded value of assets for which a fair value adjustment has been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consists of a valuation allowance of $0.2 million for residential mortgage loans and a reversal of valuation allowance of $0.3 million for REO.

  1. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In the normal course of business, Rithm Capital enters into transactions with special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which primarily consist of trusts established for a limited purpose. The SPEs have been formed for the purpose of transactions in which the Company transfers assets into an SPE in return for various forms of debt obligations supported by those assets. In these transactions, the Company typically receives cash and/or other interests in the SPE as proceeds for the transferred assets. The Company retains the right to service the transferred receivables. The Company first evaluates whether it holds a variable interest in the entity. Where the Company has a variable interest, it is required to determine whether the entity will be considered a VIE or a Voting Interest Entity (“VOE”), the classification of which will determine the analysis that the Company is required to perform when determining whether it should consolidate the entity.

VIEs are defined as entities in which (i) equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (iii) substantially all of the activities of the entity are performed on behalf of the party with disproportionately few voting rights. Where an entity does not have the characteristics of a VIE, it is a VOE. A VIE is required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

To assess whether Rithm Capital has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, Rithm Capital considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes identifying (i) the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) which party, if any, has power over those activities. To assess whether Rithm Capital has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, Rithm Capital considers all of its economic interests and applies judgment in determining whether these interests, individually or in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. When an SPE meets the definition of a VIE and the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the SPE in its consolidated financial statements.

For certain consolidated VIEs, Rithm Capital has elected to account for the assets and liabilities of these entities as CFEs. A CFE is a variable interest entity that holds financial assets, issues beneficial interests in those assets and has no more than nominal equity. The beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. Accounting guidance under GAAP for CFEs allows companies to elect to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of a CFE using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets or fair value of the financial liabilities. The net equity in an entity accounted for under the CFE election effectively represents the fair value of the beneficial interests Rithm Capital owns in the entity.

Consolidated VIEs

Advance Purchaser

Rithm Capital, through a taxable wholly-owned subsidiary, is the managing member of Advance Purchaser and owned approximately 89.3% of Advance Purchaser as of March 31, 2024. Rithm Capital is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Advance Purchaser as a result of its ability to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities and its ownership of a significant equity investment. See Note 6 for details.

Newrez Joint Ventures

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Newrez, Newrez Ventures LLC (formerly known as Shelter Mortgage Company LLC) (“Newrez Ventures”), is a mortgage originator specializing in retail originations. Newrez Ventures operates its business through a series of joint ventures (“Newrez Joint Ventures”) and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of such Newrez Joint Ventures as a result of its ability to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Newrez Joint Venture entities and its ownership of a significant equity investment.

Residential Mortgage Loans

The Company securitizes, sells and services residential mortgage loans. Securitization transactions typically involve the use of VIEs and are accounted for either as sales or as secured financings. Certain of these activities may involve SPEs which, by their nature, are deemed to be VIEs.

Rithm Capital sells pools of conforming mortgage loans through GSE and Ginnie Mae sponsored programs with the servicing retained by Newrez. The Company has several financing vehicles in the form of mortgage loan participation and sale agreements with financial institutions, or Purchasers, to sell pools of agency residential mortgage loans.

Newrez Mortgage Participant LLC, NPF Trust EBO I and Newrez Trust II were formed to acquire, receive, participate, hold, release and dispose of participation interests in certain of Newrez’s residential mortgage loans HFS (“MLHFS PC”). These facilities transfer the MLHFS PC in exchange for cash. Newrez is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore consolidates the SPE. The transferred MLHFS PC is classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as residential mortgage loans, HFS and the related warehouse credit facility liabilities as part of Secured Financing Agreements. Newrez retains the risks and benefits associated with the assets transferred to the SPEs.

Mortgage-Backed Securitization

In May 2021, Newrez issued $750.0 million in notes through a securitization facility (the “2021-1 Securitization Facility”) that bear interest at 30-day SOFR plus a margin. The 2021-1 Securitization Facility is secured by newly originated, first-lien, fixed- and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans eligible for purchase by the GSEs and Ginnie Mae. Through a master repurchase agreement, Newrez sells its originated residential mortgage loans to the 2021-1 Securitization Facility, which then issues notes to third party qualified investors, with Newrez retaining the trust certificate. The loans serve as collateral with the proceeds from the note issuance ultimately financing the originations. The 2021-1 Securitization Facility will terminate on the earlier of (i) thethree-year anniversary of the initial closing date, (ii) the Company exercising its right to optional prepayment in full or (iii) a repurchase triggering event. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the 2021-1 Securitization Facility as it has both (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

Consumer Loan Companies

Rithm Capital has a co-investment in a portfolio of consumer loans held through certain limited liability entities (the “Consumer Loan Companies”), which hold the SpringCastle loans. As of March 31, 2024, Rithm Capital owns 53.5% of the limited liability company interests in and consolidates the Consumer Loan Companies.

On September 25, 2020, certain entities comprising the Consumer Loan Companies, in a private transaction, issued $663.0 million of asset-backed notes (“SCFT 2020-A”) securitized by a portfolio of consumer loans.

The Consumer Loan Companies consolidate certain entities that issued securitized debt collateralized by the consumer loans (the “Consumer Loan SPVs”). The Consumer Loan SPVs are VIEs of which the Consumer Loan Companies are the primary beneficiaries.

Mortgage Loans Receivable

In March 2022, Rithm Capital formed a securitization facility that issued securitized debt collateralized by mortgage loans receivable (the “2022-RTL1 Securitization”). In addition to pass-through certificates sold to third parties, Rithm Capital acquired all of the residual tranche certificate, which bears no interest, for $20.9 million. Rithm Capital evaluated the purchased

residual tranche certificate as a variable interest in the trust and concluded that the residual tranche certificate will absorb a majority of the trust’s expected losses or receive a majority of the trust’s expected residual returns. Rithm Capital also concluded that the securitization’s asset manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rithm Capital, has the ability to direct activities that could impact the trust’s economic performance. As a result, Rithm Capital consolidates the trust. As of March 31, 2024, the 2022-RTL1 Securitization consists of a pool of performing, adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, interest-only, mortgage loans (construction, renovation and bridge), secured by a first lien or a first and second lien on a non-owner occupied mortgaged property with original terms to maturity of up to 36 months, with an aggregate UPB of approximately $341.8 million and an aggregate principal limit of approximately $487.2 million.

Consolidated Funds

In the ordinary course of business, Sculptor sponsors the formation of consolidated funds that are considered VIEs. The Company consolidates certain VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary either directly or indirectly through a consolidated entity. The assets of these consolidated funds may only be used to settle obligations of these entities and are not available to creditors of the Company or Sculptor. The investors in these consolidated funds have no recourse against the assets of the Company or Sculptor. There is no recourse to the Company or Sculptor for the consolidated funds’ liabilities.

The Company, through Sculptor, consolidates a structured alternative investment solution, which issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, of which approximately $127.8 million were retained by Sculptor and eliminated in consolidation. The retained notes consists of $20.0 million Class A notes, $20.0 million of Class C notes and $87.8 million of subordinated notes. As of March 31, 2024, the consolidated notes payable due to third parties had a fair value of $218.1 million.

Sculptor’s structured alternative investment solution entered into a $52.5 million credit facility maturing March 18, 2025. This credit facility is capped at $20.0 million of total borrowing capacity per quarter, bearing interest of SOFR plus margin of 3.0%. The facility is also subject to an annual 1.15% unused commitment fee. As of March 31, 2024, the consolidated funds have not drawn on the facility.

See Note 18 and 19 regarding the financing and fair value measurements of consolidated funds, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

Rithm Capital is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the treasury stock method by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period. The effect of dilutive securities is presented net of tax.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation — Rithm Capital is or may become, from time to time, involved in various disputes, litigation and regulatory inquiry and investigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings, it is possible that future adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations. Rithm Capital is not aware of any unasserted claims that it believes are material and probable of assertion where the risk of loss is expected to be reasonably possible.

Rithm Capital is, from time to time, subject to inquiries by government entities. Rithm Capital currently does not believe any of these inquiries would result in a material adverse effect on Rithm Capital’s business.

In 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Sculptor, litigation was filed against Sculptor alleging, among other things, that Sculptor’s board of directors (the “Sculptor Board”) and the special committee of the Sculptor Board violated their fiduciary duties, and sought, among other things, to enjoin the transaction with Rithm Capital. An agreement was reached in principle by the parties to settle all claims of the litigation. The parties executed and filed the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release in connection with the settlement, pending a final hearing for the settlement.

Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, Rithm Capital and its subsidiaries enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Rithm Capital’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against Rithm Capital that have not yet occurred. However, based on its experience, Rithm Capital expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

Capital Commitments — As of March 31, 2024, Rithm Capital had outstanding capital commitments related to investments in the following investment types (also refer to Note 5 for MSR investment commitments and to Note 26 for additional capital commitments entered into subsequent to March 31, 2024, if any):

MSRs and Servicer Advance Investments — Rithm Capital and, in some cases, third-party co-investors agreed to purchase future servicer advances related to certain Non-Agency residential mortgage loans. In addition, Rithm

RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

Capital’s subsidiaries, NRM and Newrez, are generally obligated to fund future servicer advances related to the loans they are obligated to service. The actual amount of future advances purchased will be based on (i) the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans, (ii) the amount of advances recoverable prior to liquidation of the related collateral and (iii) the percentage of the loans with respect to which no additional advance obligations are made. The actual amount of future advances is subject to significant uncertainty. Refer to Notes 5 and 6 for discussion on Rithm Capital’s MSRs and servicer advance investments, respectively.

Mortgage Origination Reserves — Newrez currently originates, or has in the past originated, conventional, government-insured and nonconforming residential mortgage loans for sale and securitization. The GSEs or Ginnie Mae guarantee conventional and government insured mortgage securitizations and mortgage investors issue nonconforming private label mortgage securitizations while Newrez generally retains the right to service the underlying residential mortgage loans. In connection with the transfer of loans to the GSEs or mortgage investors, the Newrez makes representations and warranties regarding certain attributes of the loans and, subsequent to the sale, if it is determined that a sold loan is in breach of these representations and warranties, Newrez generally has an obligation to cure the breach. If Newrez is unable to cure the breach, the purchaser may require Newrez to repurchase the loan.

In addition, as issuers of Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations, Newrez holds the right to repurchase loans that are at least 90 days’ delinquent from the securitizations at their discretion. Loans in forbearance that are three or more consecutive payments delinquent are included as delinquent loans permitted to be repurchased. While Newrez is not obligated to repurchase the delinquent loans, Newrez generally exercises its respective option to repurchase loans that will result in an economic benefit. As of March 31, 2024, Rithm Capital’s estimated liability associated with representations and warranties and Ginnie Mae repurchases was $52.6 million and $1.8 billion, respectively. See Note 5 for information regarding the right to repurchase delinquent loans from Ginnie Mae securities and mortgage origination.

Residential Mortgage Loans— As part of its investment in residential mortgage loans, Rithm Capital may be required to outlay capital. These capital outflows primarily consist of advance escrow and tax payments, residential maintenance and property disposition fees. The actual amount of these outflows is subject to significant uncertainty. See Note 8 for information regarding Rithm Capital’s residential mortgage loans.

Consumer Loans— The Consumer Loan Companies have invested in loans with an aggregate of $168.4 million of unfunded and available revolving credit privileges as of March 31, 2024. However, under the terms of these loans, requests for draws may be denied and unfunded availability may be terminated at Rithm Capital’s discretion.

SFR Properties— On June 21, 2023, Crowne Property Acquisitions, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rithm Capital, executed a purchase and sales agreement with Lennar Homes of Texas Land and Construction, LTD., a subsidiary of Lennar Corporation, to purchase 371 SFR properties, which shall be delivered in phased takedowns, at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $95.6 million, which is payable subject to the phased takedown schedule. The purchased homes are currently under construction, and all of the homes are expected to be delivered by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2024,200 SFR properties have been delivered to Rithm Capital pursuant to this arrangement.

On February 27, 2024, Viewpoint Murfreesboro Land LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rithm Capital (“Viewpoint”), executed a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) with an affiliate of BTR Group, LLC (“BTR”), BTR VM LLC, to purchase land for a purchase price of $7.0 million. In connection with the PSA, on February 27, 2024, Viewpoint entered into a fixed price design-build construction contract with BTR (the “Construction Contract”) to purchase 171 SFR properties that are scheduled to be built by BTR on the purchased land in accordance with the plans and specifications approved in accordance with entry into the Construction Contract, for an aggregate purchase price of $49.0 million. The aggregate purchase price is payable in installments in accordance with the draw schedule set forth in the Construction Contract, and delivery of the homes is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2025.

Mortgage Loans Receivable — Genesis and Rithm Capital had commitments to fund up to $827.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, of additional advances on existing mortgage loans as of March 31, 2024. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the customer and other terms regarding advances that must be met before Genesis or Rithm Capital funds the commitments.

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

Equity Investments — As part of its investment commitment in certain commercial real estate projects, Rithm Capital is required to fund its pro rata share of future capital contributions subject to certain limitations.

Fund Commitments — The Company has unfunded capital commitments of $232.9 million to certain funds Sculptor manages, of which $68.4 million relates to commitments of Sculptor’s consolidated structured alternative investment solution, and $50.0 million relates to commitments to a consolidated Sculptor Loan Financing Partners fund, a collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) equity investment platform. The remaining $114.5 million relates to commitments of Sculptor to unconsolidated funds. Approximately $94.8 million of Sculptor’s commitments will be funded by contributions to Sculptor from certain current and former employees and executive managing directors. Sculptor expects to fund these commitments over approximately the next 6 years. Sculptor has guaranteed these commitments in the event any executive managing director fails to fund any portion when called by the fund. Sculptor has historically not funded any of these commitments and does not expect to in the future, as these commitments are expected to be funded by Sculptor’s executive managing directors individually.

Corporate— As part of the partnership with Great Ajax (Note 1), the Company entered into aone-year delayed draw term loan agreement with Great Ajax for up to $70 million, which remains unfunded as of March 31, 2024. In connection with the execution of the term loan agreement, Great Ajax will issue five-year warrants to Rithm Capital, based on amounts drawn under the loan facility (subject to a specified minimum), exercisable for shares of Great Ajax’s common stock.

Non-Recourse Carve-Out, Construction Completion, Environmental and Carry Guarantees – In connection with investments in two commercial real estate projects, Rithm Capital provided certain limited guarantees to the senior lender on the projects related to non-recourse carve outs, completion, environmental, and carry costs of the projects. The actual amount that could be called under the guarantees is subject to significant uncertainty.

Environmental Costs— As an investor in and owner of commercial and residential real estate, Rithm Capital is subject to potential environmental costs. At March 31, 2024, Rithm Capital is not aware of any environmental concerns that would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Debt Covenants — Certain of the Company’s debt obligations are subject to loan covenants and event of default provisions, including event of default provisions triggered by certain specified declines in Rithm Capital’s equity or a failure to maintain a specified tangible net worth, liquidity or indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio. Refer to Note 18 for a further discussion of the Company’s debt obligations.

Computershare Acquisition

Rithm Capital completed the Computershare Acquisition, and simultaneous merger of SLS and Newrez, on May 1, 2024 for a cash purchase price of approximately $720.0 million. The Computershare Acquisition included approximately $45.0 billion UPB of MSRs and $104.0 billion of third-party servicing UPB, along with SLS’s origination services business. Given the recent timing of the transaction, the Company is currently evaluating the purchase price allocation. It is impracticable to disclose the preliminary purchase price allocation for this acquisition given the short period of time between the acquisition date and the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.
