Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

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

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 and the Company internalized its management functions (such transactions, the “Internalization”). 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 rental (“SFR”) properties, 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 enable 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’s asset management business primarily operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. (“Sculptor”) and its affiliates, acquired on November 17, 2023, and RCM GA Manager LLC (“RCM Manager”). Sculptor is a leading global alternative asset manager and provides asset management services and investment products across credit, real estate and multi-strategy platforms through commingled funds, separate accounts and other alternative investment vehicles. RCM Manager manages Rithm Property Trust Inc. (“Rithm Property Trust”), a publicly traded mortgage REIT pursuant to a management agreement, dated June 11, 2024 (as amended by that First Amendment to the Management Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2024, the “Rithm Property Trust Management Agreement”).

As of December 31, 2024, Rithm Capital conducted its business through the following segments: (i) Origination and Servicing, (ii) Investment Portfolio, (iii) Residential Transitional Lending and (iv) Asset Management.

Rithm Capital’s Origination and Servicing businesses operate through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Newrez and New Residential Mortgage LLC (“NRM”). The Company’s residential mortgage origination business sources and originates loans through four channels: Direct to Consumer, Retail/Joint Venture, Wholesale and Correspondent. Additionally, the Company’s servicing platform complements its origination business and offers its subsidiaries and third-party clients performing and special servicing capabilities. Rithm Capital also operates additional real estate related businesses through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including: (i) Avenue 365 Lender Services, LLC, its title company, (ii) eStreet Appraisal Management LLC, its appraisal management company, (iii) Adoor LLC (“Adoor”), its company focused on the acquisition and management of SFR properties, (iv) Genesis, a lender for experienced developers and investors of residential real estate, which also supports the Adoor business, and (v) Guardian Asset Management (“Guardian”), a national provider of field services and property management services. In additional to these wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rithm Capital also has operations in commercial real estate through its joint venture with GreenBarn Investment Group, which provides acquisition and development opportunities, asset and property management, and leasing and construction support

NRM and Newrez are licensed or otherwise eligible to service residential mortgage loans in all states within the United States of America (“U.S.”) 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”, collectively with the GSEs, the “Agencies” and each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, an “Agency”). Newrez is also eligible to perform servicing on behalf of other servicers as a subservicer.

Newrez sells substantially all of the mortgage loans that it originates into the secondary market. Newrez securitizes loans into residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”) through the Agencies. Loans originated outside of the GSEs, guidelines of the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), U.S. Department of Agriculture or Department of Veterans Affairs (for loans securitized with Ginnie Mae) are sold to private investors and mortgage conduits. Newrez generally retains the right to service the underlying residential mortgage loans sold and securitized by Newrez. NRM and Newrez are required to conduct aspects of their operations in accordance with applicable policies and guidelines of such Agencies.

Rithm Capital has elected and intends to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, Rithm Capital will generally not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders by prescribed dates and complies with various other requirements. See Note 2 and Note 25 for additional information regarding Rithm Capital’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting — The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP” or “U.S. 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 classified as 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 applies the equity method of accounting whereby it records its share of the underlying income of such entities unless a fair value option is elected. Distributions from such equity method investments 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.

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, RMBS issued by either public trusts or private label securitization entities 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 consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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, the determination of whether or not to consolidate a VIE or a voting interest entity (“VOE”), 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 U.S. dollar, as their operations are considered extensions of the U.S. parent’s operations. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange on the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into U.S. 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 as cumulative translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Company has a subsidiary whose functional currency is the Euro, and the financial statements of such entity are translated into U.S. 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 currency translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets.

Business Combinations and Assets Acquisitions— When the assets acquired and liabilities assumed constitute a business, then the acquisition is a business combination. If substantially all of the fair value of the gross asset acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the asset is not considered a business. Business combinations are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, using the acquisition method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. In a business combination, the initial allocation of the purchase price is considered preliminary and therefore subject to change until the end of the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired that meet the criteria for separate recognition and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from these and other assets acquired that could not be individually identified or do not qualify for recognition as a separate asset. Likewise, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in current earnings when the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included from the date of acquisition.

Common control transactions include a transfer of net assets or an exchange of equity interests between entities under the control of the same parent. Common control transactions have characteristics that are similar to a business combination but do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as a business combination. The accounting and reporting for a transaction between entities under common control is addressed in the ASC 805-50, Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control, which requires that the receiving entity recognize the net assets received at their historical carrying amounts.

Consolidation and Transfers of Financial Assets— For each equity investment made, the Company evaluates the underlying entity that issued the securities acquired or to which the Company makes a loan to determine the appropriate accounting. A similar analysis is performed for each entity with which the Company enters into an agreement for management, servicing or related services. In performing the analysis, the Company applies the guidance in ASC 810-10, Consolidation. In situations where the Company is the transferor of financial assets, the Company applies the guidance in ASC 860-10, Transfers and Servicing. In VIEs, an entity is subject to consolidation under ASC 810-10 if the equity investors either do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, are unable to direct the entity’s activities or are not exposed to the entity’s losses or entitled to its residual returns. VIEs within the scope of ASC 810-10 are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is determined to be the party that has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This determination can sometimes involve complex and subjective analyses. Further, ASC 810-10 also requires ongoing assessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. In accordance with ASC 810-10, all transferees, including VIEs, must be evaluated for consolidation. If the Company determines that consolidation is not required, it will then assess whether the transfer of the underlying assets would qualify for sale accounting or should be accounted for as secured borrowing. The Company’s equity investments, where the Company exercises significant influence but for which the Company has not elected the fair value option, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

In circumstances where an entity does not have the characteristics of a VIE, it would be considered a VOE. The Company would consolidate a VOE where the Company has a majority equity interest and has control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity.

A special purpose entity (“SPE”) is an entity designed to fulfill a specific limited need of the company that organized it. SPEs are often used to facilitate transactions that involve securitizing financial assets or resecuritizing previously securitized financial assets. The objective of such transactions may include obtaining non-recourse financing, obtaining liquidity or refinancing the underlying securitized financial assets on improved terms. Securitization involves transferring assets to an SPE to convert all or a portion of those assets into cash before they would have been realized in the normal course of business through the SPE’s issuance of debt or equity instruments. Investors in an SPE usually have recourse only to the assets in the SPE and, depending on the overall structure of the transaction, may benefit from various forms of credit enhancement, such as over-collateralization in the form of excess assets in the SPE, priority with respect to receipt of cash flows relative to holders of other debt or equity instruments issued by the SPE or a line of credit or other form of liquidity agreement that is designed with the objective of ensuring that investors receive principal and/or interest cash flow on the investment in accordance with the terms of their investment agreement.

The Company may periodically enter into transactions in which it transfers assets to a third party. Upon a transfer of financial assets, the Company will sometimes retain or acquire subordinated interests in the related assets. Pursuant to ASC 860-10, a determination must be made as to whether a transferor has surrendered control over transferred financial assets. That determination must consider the transferor’s continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset, including all arrangements or agreements made contemporaneously with, or in contemplation of, the transfer, even if they were not entered into at the time of the transfer. The financial components approach under ASC 860-10 limits the circumstances in which a financial asset, or portion of a financial asset, should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire original financial asset to an entity that is not consolidated with the transferor in the financial statements being presented and/or when the transferor has continuing involvement with the transferred financial asset. It defines the term “participating interest” to establish specific conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale. Under ASC 860-10, after a transfer of financial assets that meets the criteria for treatment as a sale-legal isolation, ability of transferee to pledge or exchange the transferred assets without constraint and transferred control - an entity recognizes the financial and servicing assets it acquired or retained and the liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets it has sold and derecognizes liabilities when extinguished. The transferor would then determine the gain or loss on sale of financial assets by allocating the carrying value of the underlying mortgage between securities or loans sold and the interests retained based on their fair values. The gain or loss on sale is the difference between the cash proceeds from the sale and the amount allocated to the securities or loans sold. When a transfer of financial assets does not qualify for sale accounting, ASC 860-10 requires the transfer to be accounted for as a secured borrowing with a pledge of collateral.

From time to time, the Company may securitize mortgage loans it holds if such financing is available. Depending upon the structure of the securitization transaction, these transactions will be recorded in accordance with ASC 860-10 and will be accounted for as either a sale and the loans will be removed from the consolidated balance sheets, or as a financing and the loans will remain on the consolidated balance sheets. ASC 860-10 is a standard that may require the Company to exercise significant judgment in determining whether a transaction should be recorded as a sale or a financing.

Certain consolidated VIEs meet the definition of collateralized financing entities (“CFE”). A CFE is a VIE that holds financial assets and issues beneficial interests in those assets, and these beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. Accounting guidance 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 CFE.

Policies of Certain Consolidated Entities —For purposes of these consolidated financial statements, “consolidated entities” refer to special purpose entities, funds or other investment vehicles which the Company is required to consolidate in accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation. Investments held by a consolidated fund that is considered an investment company are reflected at their estimated fair values pursuant to specialized investment company accounting guidance retained by the Company using net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the underlying funds. Refer to Note 19 for further details. The Company’s policy is that a consolidated entity that is considered an investment company under GAAP will generally consolidate another investment company when it owns substantially all of the interest in the investment company.

The Company also consolidates certain securitization vehicles that are CFEs. The Company elected fair value option for the financial assets and the financial liabilities upon consolidation of these securitization vehicles. The Company measures the financial assets of these consolidated securitization vehicles based on the fair value of the financial liabilities, as the Company believes the fair value of the financial liabilities is more observable. The financial assets are measured as (i) the sum of the fair value of the financial liability including beneficial interests retained by the Company less (ii) the carrying value of any nonfinancial assets held temporarily. As a result of this measurement alternative, there is no attribution of amounts to non-controlling interests for consolidated CFEs.

Assets of consolidated CFEs accounted for using the measurement alternative are presented within assets of consolidated CFEs under investments, at fair value and other assets, and liabilities due to third parties are presented within liabilities of consolidated CFEs under notes payable, at fair value and other liabilities, in the consolidated balance sheets. Change in the fair value of these consolidated securitization vehicles’ financial assets and liabilities and related interest and other income are presented within realized and unrealized gains (losses), net, and ongoing expenses of the vehicles are presented as expenses within general and administrative on the consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 20 for further details.

Excess MSRs — Excess MSRs refer to the excess servicing spread related to MSRs, whose underlying collateral is securitized in a trust. Upon acquisition, Rithm Capital has elected to record each of such investments at fair value. Rithm Capital elected to record its investments at fair value in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of prepayment risk and other market factors on Excess MSRs. Under this election, Rithm Capital records a valuation adjustment on its Excess MSRs on a quarterly basis to recognize the changes in fair value in net income. Excess MSRs are aggregated into pools as applicable; each pool of Excess MSRs is accounted for in the aggregate. Interest income for Excess MSRs is accreted into earnings on an effective yield or “interest” method, based upon the expected excess mortgage servicing amount through the expected life of the underlying mortgages. Changes to expected cash flows result in a cumulative retrospective adjustment, which will be recorded in the period in which the change in expected cash flows occurs. Under the retrospective method, the interest income recognized for a reporting period is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis at the end of the period and the amortized cost basis at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period. The amortized cost basis is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using an effective yield, which is the yield that equates all past actual and current estimated future cash flows to the initial investment. In addition, Rithm Capital’s policy is to recognize interest income only on its Excess MSRs in existing eligible underlying mortgages. The difference between the fair value of Excess MSRs and their amortized cost basis is recorded as change in realized and unrealized gains (losses), net on the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the

Excess MSRs, and therefore may differ from their effective yields. Excess MSRs is grouped and presented as part of other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

MSRs and MSR Financing Receivables— MSRs represent the contractual right to service residential mortgage loans. The Company recognizes MSRs created through the sale of loans it originates. Under the accounting guidance for transfers and servicing, the Company initially measures a mortgage servicing asset that qualifies for separate recognition at fair value on the date of transfer. Rithm Capital elected to record its investments at fair value in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of prepayment risk and other market factors on MSRs. Under this election, Rithm Capital records a valuation adjustment on its MSRs on a quarterly basis to recognize the changes in fair value in net income. MSRs are aggregated into pools as applicable; each pool of MSRs is accounted for in the aggregate. Income from MSRs is recorded in servicing revenue, net and comprises (i) income from the MSRs, plus or minus (ii) the mark-to-market on the MSRs including change in fair value due to realization of cash flows. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the MSRs.

In certain cases, Rithm Capital has legally purchased MSRs or the right to the economic interest in MSRs; however, Rithm Capital has determined that the purchase agreement would not be treated as a sale under GAAP. Therefore, rather than recording an investment in MSRs, Rithm Capital records an investment in MSR financing receivables. Income from this investment (net of subservicing fees) is recorded as interest income and is grouped and presented as part of servicing revenue, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, Rithm Capital has elected to measure MSR financing receivables at fair value, with changes in fair value flowing through servicing revenue, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Servicer Advance Investments— Rithm Capital accounts for its servicer advance investments similarly to its Excess MSRs. Interest income for servicer advance investments is accreted into earnings on an effective yield or “interest” method, based upon the expected aggregate cash flows of the servicer advance investments, including the base fee component of the related MSR (but excluding any Excess MSR component) through the expected life of the underlying mortgages, net of a portion of the base fee component of the MSR that Rithm Capital remits to the servicer as compensation for the servicer’s servicing activities.

Changes to expected cash flows result in a cumulative retrospective adjustment, which is recorded in the period in which the change in expected cash flows occurs. Under the retrospective method, the interest income recognized for a reporting period is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis at the end of the period and the amortized cost basis at the beginning of the period, plus any cash received during the period. The amortized cost basis is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using an effective yield, which is the yield that equates past actual and current estimated future cash flows to the initial investment. For periods in which cash flows are impacted by an independent factor where there is a change in effective interest rate during the period, the new yield is calculated retrospectively back to the change in effective interest rate during that period.

The difference between the fair value of servicer advance investments and their amortized cost basis is recorded as change in realized and unrealized gains (losses), net on the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the market risks and liquidity premium specific to the servicer advance investments, and therefore may differ from their effective yields. Servicer advance investments is grouped and presented as part of other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Real Estate and Other Securities — Agency RMBS and non-Agency residential and other securities are classified as either available-for-sale (“AFS”) or accounted for under the fair value option. The Company determines the appropriate classification of its securities at the time they are acquired. If classified as available-for-sale, investments are carried at fair value, with net unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. If classified under the fair value option, changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a component of realized and unrealized gains (losses), net.

Fair value is determined under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Management’s judgment is used to arrive at the fair value of the Company’s real estate and other securities, taking into account prices obtained from third-party pricing providers and other applicable market data. The third-party pricing providers use pricing models that generally incorporate such factors as coupons, primary and secondary mortgage rates, rate reset periods, issuer, prepayment speeds, credit enhancements and expected life of the security. The Company’s application of ASC 820 guidance is discussed in further detail in Note 19.

Investment securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. At disposition, the net realized gain or loss is determined on the basis of the cost of the specific investment and is included in net income.

There are several different accounting models that may be applicable for purposes of the recognition of interest income on securities depending on whether the security is designated as available-for-sale or fair value option.

The following accounting models apply to securities classified as available-for-sale:

(i) Securities of high credit quality rated ‘AA’ or higher that, at the time of purchase, the Company expects to collect all contractual cash flows and the security cannot be contractually prepaid in such a way that the Company would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment.

(ii) Non-Agency securities which are not of high credit quality at the time of purchase or that can be contractually prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the Company would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment.

For securities of high credit quality accounted for under (i) above, the Company recognizes interest income by applying the permitted “interest method,” whereby purchase premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, as an adjustment to contractual interest income accrued at each security’s stated coupon rate. The interest method is applied at the individual security level based upon each security’s effective interest rate. The Company calculates each security’s effective interest rate at the time of purchase by solving for the discount rate that equates the present value of that security's remaining contractual cash flows (assuming no principal prepayments) to its purchase price. Because each security’s effective interest rate does not reflect an estimate of future prepayments, the Company refers to this manner of applying the interest method as the “contractual effective interest method.” When applying the contractual effective interest method to its investments in securities, as principal prepayments occur, a proportional amount of the unamortized premium or discount is recognized in interest income such that the contractual effective interest rate on the remaining security balance is unaffected.

For non-Agency securities accounted for under (ii) above, the Company recognizes interest income by applying the required prospective level-yield methodology. Interest income under this methodology is impacted by management judgments around both the amount and timing of credit losses (defaults) and prepayments. Consequently, interest income on these non-Agency securities is recognized based on the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected, as opposed to being based on contractual cash flows. These securities are generally purchased at a discount to the principal amount. At the original acquisition date, the Company estimates the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected and calculates the present value of those amounts to the Company’s purchase price. In each subsequent balance sheet date, the Company revises its estimates of the remaining timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected. If there is a positive change in the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be collected from the previous estimate, the effective interest rate in future accounting periods may increase resulting in an increase in the reported amount of interest income in future periods. A positive change in the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be collected is considered to have occurred when the net present value of future cash flows expected to be collected has increased from the previous estimate. This can occur from a change in either the timing of when cash flows are expected to be collected (i.e., from changes in prepayment speeds or the timing of estimated defaults) or in the amount of cash flows expected to be collected (i.e., from reductions in estimates of future defaults). If there is a negative or adverse change in the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be collected from the previous estimate and the security's fair value is below its amortized cost, an impairment loss equal to the adverse change in cash flows expected to be collected, discounted using the security's effective rate before impairment, is required to be recorded in current period earnings. Additionally, while the effective interest rate used to accrete interest income after an impairment has been recognized will generally be the same, the amount of interest income recorded in future periods will decline because of the reduced balance of the amortized cost basis of the investment to which such effective interest rate is applied.

The following accounting models apply to securities accounted for under the fair value option:

(iii) Securities of high credit quality rated ‘AA’ or higher that, at the time of purchase, the Company expects to collect all contractual cash flows and the security cannot be contractually prepaid in such a way that the Company would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment.

(iv) Non-Agency securities which are not of high credit quality at the time of purchase or that can be contractually prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way that the Company would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment.

Interest income on securities accounted for in (iii) above is recognized based on the stated coupon rate and the outstanding principal amount. The original purchase premium or discount is not amortized or accreted as part of interest income but rather reflected as part of the security’s fair value.

Interest income on non-Agency securities accounted for in (iv) above is recognized in accordance with the model described in (ii) above.

The Company evaluates its securities classified as available-for-sale on a quarterly basis to assess whether a decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis should be recognized in net income or other comprehensive income. The presence of an impairment is based upon a fair value decline below a security’s amortized cost basis and a corresponding adverse change in expected cash flows due to credit related factors as well as non-credit factors, such as changes in interest rates and market spreads. A security is considered to be impaired if the Company (i) intends to sell the security, (ii) will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis or (iii) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis, even if the Company does not intend to sell the security, or the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis. Under these scenarios, the full amount of impairment is recognized currently in net income and the cost basis of the security is adjusted. However, if the Company does not intend to sell the impaired security and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell before recovery, the impairment is separated into (i) the estimated amount relating to credit loss, or the credit component, and (ii) the amount relating to all other factors, or the non-credit component. Credit related impairment is recognized as an allowance on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to net income, with the remainder of the loss recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The allowance for credit loss as well as adjustment to net income can be reversed for subsequent changes in the estimate of expected credit loss. Impairment has been classified within other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.

Residential Mortgage Loans and Consumer Loans — The Company's loan portfolio primarily consists of residential mortgage loans and consumer loans. The Company’s loans are classified as (i) held-for-investment at fair value, (ii) held-for-sale at fair value or (iii) held-for-sale at lower of cost or fair value. Loans are also eligible to be accounted for under the fair value option which are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the periodic changes in fair value are recorded as a component of gain on originated residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale, net and realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of operations. When the Company has the intent and ability to hold loans for the foreseeable future or to maturity/payoff, such loans are classified as held-for-investment. When the Company has the intent to sell loans, such loans are classified as held-for-sale.

For originated residential mortgage loans measured at fair value, Rithm Capital reports the change in the fair value within gain on originated residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is generally determined using a market approach by utilizing either (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar residential mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole residential 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.

For acquired residential mortgage loans measured at fair value, Rithm Capital reports the change in fair value within realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the expected future cash flows using inputs such as default rates, prepayment speeds and discount rates.

For loans measured at the lower of cost or fair value, the Company accounts for any excess of cost over fair value as a valuation allowance and includes changes in the valuation allowance in other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations in the period in which the change occurs. Purchase price discounts or premiums are deferred in a contra loan account until the related loan is sold. The deferred discounts or premiums are an adjustment to the basis of the loan and are included in the quarterly determination of the lower of cost or fair value adjustments and/or the gain or loss recognized at the time of sale.

Interest income on mortgage loans is accrued based on the unpaid principal balance (“UPB”) and the contractual interest rate. Interest earned on mortgage loans are reported in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. If it’s probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement, or if the loan becomes 90 days delinquent, the Company will reverse all prior accrued and unpaid interest on such mortgage loan. The Company will return loans to accrual status only when it reinstates the loan and there is no significant uncertainty as to collectability.

Rithm Capital elected to apply the fair value option for all consumer loans. The fair value option provides an election which allows a company to irrevocably elect fair value for certain financial assets and liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company elected the fair value option for these loans to better align reported results with the underlying economic changes in value of the loans on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Gains (losses) from the change in fair value of consumer loans are recognized in realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income is recognized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method and is recorded on the accrual basis.

The Company’s residential mortgage loans and consumer loans are carried at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. As a result, these loans are not subject to an allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model.

A loan is reported as past due when a monthly payment is due and unpaid for 30 days or more. Loans, other than purchase credit deteriorated loans, are placed on non-accrual status and considered non-performing when full payment of principal and interest is in doubt, which generally occurs when principal or interest is 90 days or more past due unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Loans held-for-sale are subject to the non-accrual policy. A loan may be returned to accrual status when repayment is reasonably assured and there has been demonstrated performance under the terms of the loan or, if applicable, the terms of the restructured loan. Rithm Capital’s ability to recognize interest income on non-accrual loans as cash interest payments are received rather than as a reduction of the carrying value of the loans is based on the recorded loan balance being deemed fully collectible.

Single-Family Rental (SFR) Properties, Net— Purchases of SFR properties are accounted for as asset acquisitions and recorded at their purchase price, which is allocated between land, building and improvements and in-place lease intangibles (when a resident is in place at the acquisition date) based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition costs which typically include legal fees, title fees, payments made to cure tax, utility and homeowners’ association (“HOA”) fees, as well as other closing costs.

SFR properties are classified as held-for-investment and are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation expense and impairment. From time to time, the Company may identify SFR properties to be sold. If the Company identifies a property to be sold, depreciation on the property is ceased, the property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount or its fair value less estimated costs to sell and is presented separately from SFR properties classified as held-for-investment.

Initial costs to acquire, renovate and prepare SFR properties to be leased are capitalized as a component of each residential real estate property using specific identification and relative allocation methodologies, including renovation costs and other costs associated with activities that are directly related to preparing the properties for use as rental real estate. Other costs include interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, utilities and HOA fees. The capitalization period associated with renovation activities begins at the time that such activities commence and conclude at the time that an SFR property is available to be leased. Once a property is ready for its intended use, expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs thereafter are expensed to operations as incurred, while expenditures that improve or extend the life of a property, such as certain furniture and fixtures additions, are capitalized. The determination of which costs to capitalize requires judgment and can involve many factors with no one factor necessarily determinative. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance recognized immediately are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Except for land, costs capitalized in connection with SFR property acquisitions are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis generally over 40 years. The depreciation period commences once renovations are complete and the property is ready for its intended use. For those costs capitalized in connection with renovation activities and those capitalized on an ongoing basis, the average useful life is approximately 15 years.

SFR properties are continuously monitored to assess whether there have been any events or changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may be impaired and not recoverable. Significant indicators of impairment may include, but are not limited to, declines in home values, rental rates and occupancy percentages, as well as significant changes in the economy. To the extent an event or change in circumstance is identified, an SFR property is considered to be impaired only if its carrying value cannot be recovered through estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the use and eventual disposition of the property. To the extent an impairment has occurred, the carrying amount is adjusted to its estimated fair value. Impairment charges are included in other income (loss) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Under ASC 842, Leases, an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses is not permitted. Rather, when collectability is not deemed probable, the Company writes-off the tenant’s receivables and limits lease income to cash received.

Revenues associated with SFR properties consist of rents collected under lease agreements, net of any concessions and bad debt (including write-offs of operating lease receivables when collectability is not deemed probable) and other income, including tenant reimbursements for utilities and other charge-backs such as late fees and non-refundable deposits. Leases typically have a term ofone totwo years. Rental revenues are included in other revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

In the fourth quarter of 2023, Rithm Capital entered into a strategic partnership with Darwin Homes, Inc. to establish a new property management platform, Adoor Property Management LLC (“APM”). All SFR properties are managed through APM.

Property and Maintenance Revenue— Rithm Capital, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guardian, collects revenue from property management, inspections and repair services. These revenues are included in other revenues in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Revenues recognized are from fixed-price work orders created for services defined within contracts with the customer. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue upon completion of the services as detailed in each work order.

Residential Transition Loans— Rithm Capital, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Genesis, originates and manages a portfolio of primarily short-term mortgage loans to fund the construction and development of, or investment in, residential properties.

Rithm Capital elected to apply the fair value option for all residential transition loans. The fair value option provides an election which allows a company to irrevocably elect fair value for certain financial asset and liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The Company elected the fair value option for these loans to better align reported results with the underlying economic changes in value of the loans on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Furthermore, as a result of the election to apply the fair value option, these loans are not subject to an allowance for credit losses under the CECL impairment model. Rithm Capital reports the change in the fair value within realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value approximates carrying value due to the short duration of the residential transition loans.

Residential transition loans are presented net of construction holdbacks and interest reserves on the consolidated balance sheets. The construction holdback represents amounts withheld from the funding of construction loans and released as the project progresses. The interest reserve represents amounts withheld from the funding of certain mortgage loans in order to satisfy monthly interest payments for all or part of the term of the related loan. Accrued interest is paid out of the interest reserve and recognized as interest income on a monthly basis.

Residential transition loans can be placed in contractual default status for (i) an interest payment that is more than 30 days past due or sooner, if collection is considered doubtful, (ii) a loan that matures and the borrower fails to make payment of all amounts owed or extend the loan or (iii) the collateral that becomes impaired in such a way that the ultimate collection of the loan receivable is doubtful. The accrual of interest income is suspended when a loan is in contractual default unless the interest is paid in cash or collectability of all amounts due is reasonably assured. In addition, in certain instances, where the interest reserve on a current loan has been fully depleted and the interest payment is not expected to be collected from the borrower, the Company may place a current loan on non-accrual status and recognize interest income on a cash basis. Interest previously accrued may be reversed at that time, and such reversal is offset against interest income. The accrual of interest income resumes only when the suspended loan becomes contractually current or a credit analysis supports the ability to collect in accordance with the terms of the loan.

In addition to interest income, the Company generates loan fee income, including loan origination fees, loan renewal fees and inspection fees. The majority of fee income is composed of loan origination fees, or “points,” with interest rates based on the total commitment at origination. In addition to origination fees, the Company earns loan extension fees when maturing loans are renewed or extended and amendment fees when loan terms are modified, such as increases in interest reserves and construction holdbacks. Loans are generally only renewed or extended if the loan is not in default and satisfies the Company’s underwriting criteria. Loan fee income is recognized as interest income at origination or amendment given the Company’s election of the fair value option.

Both interest and loan fee income earned on mortgage loans is reported in interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Residential Mortgage Loan Repurchases— Newrez, as approved issuer of Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), originate and securitize government-insured residential mortgage loans. As issuer of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securitizations, Newrez 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. Under GAAP, Newrez is required to recognize the right to loans on its balance sheet and establish a corresponding liability upon the triggering of the repurchase right regardless of whether Newrez intends to repurchase the loans. Upon recognizing loans eligible for repurchase, the Company does not change the accounting for MSRs related to previously sold loans. Upon reacquisition of a loan the MSR is written off.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash — Rithm Capital considers all highly liquid short-term investments with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Substantially all amounts on deposit with major financial institutions exceed insured limits.

Servicer Advances Receivable — Represents servicer advances due to Rithm Capital’s servicer subsidiaries, NRM and Newrez (Note 5). The servicer advances receivable purchased in conjunction with MSRs are recorded with purchase discounts. Subsequent advances are recorded at cost, subject to impairment. Any related purchase discounts are accreted into servicing revenue, net in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the estimated weighted average life of the advances.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets —Rithm Capital qualitatively assesses its goodwill assigned to each of its reporting units during the fourth quarter of each year. This qualitative assessment evaluates various events and circumstances, such as macro-economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, relevant events and financial trends, that may impact a reporting unit's fair value. Using this qualitative assessment, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds its carrying value. If it is determined that it is not more likely than not the reporting unit's fair value exceeds the carrying value, or upon consideration of other factors, including recent acquisition, restructuring or divestiture activity, the Company performs a quantitative, “step one,” goodwill impairment analysis. In addition, the Company may test goodwill in between annual test dates if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Rithm Capital didnot recognize any impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As a result of various acquisitions (see Note 3), Rithm Capital identified intangible assets in the form of management contracts, customer relationships, purchased technology, trademarks / trade names and licenses. Rithm Capital recorded the intangible assets at fair value at the acquisition date and amortizes the value of finite-lived intangibles into expense over the expected useful life. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is included in general and administrative in Rithm Capital’s consolidated statements of operations. If impairment events occur, they could accelerate the timing of acquired intangible asset charges. Licenses and certain trade names acquired are deemed to have an indefinite useful life and are evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter and in interim periods if indicators of impairment exist. Rithm Capital didnot recognize any impairment for the year ended December 31, 2024.

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 year ended December 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.

Leases —Rithm Capital determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of lease payments over the lease term. The majority of Rithm Capital’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate. As a result, Rithm Capital used an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available as of the lease commencement dates, or as of the acquisition date, if applicable, in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset reflects any upfront lease payments made as well as lease incentives received. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease and these are factored into the determination of the ROU asset and lease liability at lease inception when and if it is reasonably certain that Rithm Capital will exercise that option. Lease expense for fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Subrental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included within other revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Where the Company has entered into a sublease arrangement, the Company will evaluate the lease arrangement for impairment. To the extent an impairment of the ROU lease asset is recognized, the Company will recognize lease impairment and subsequently amortize the remaining lease asset on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term within general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.

Rithm Capital has certain lease agreements with non-lease components such as maintenance and executory costs, which are accounted for separately and not included in ROU assets.

ROU assets are tested for impairment whenever changes in facts or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Modification of a lease term would result in re-measurement of the lease liability and a corresponding adjustment to the ROU asset.

Income Taxes — Rithm Capital operates so as to qualify as a REIT under the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). Requirements for qualification as a REIT include various restrictions on ownership of Rithm Capital’s stock, requirements concerning distribution of taxable income and certain restrictions on the nature of assets and sources of income. A REIT must distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its stockholders (subject to certain adjustments). Distributions may extend until timely filing of Rithm Capital’s tax return in the subsequent taxable year. Qualifying distributions of taxable income are deductible by a REIT in computing taxable income.

Certain activities of Rithm Capital are conducted through TRSs and therefore are subject to federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases upon the change in tax status. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Rithm Capital recognizes tax benefits for uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits.

Secured Financing Agreements and Secured Notes and Bonds Payable — The Company finances the acquisition of certain assets within its investment portfolio using secured financing agreements, including repurchase agreements and warehouse credit facilities. Repurchase agreements and warehouse credit facilities are treated as collateralized financing transactions and carried at their contractual amounts, including accrued interest, as specified in the respective agreements. The carrying amount of the Company’s secured financing agreements and warehouse credit facilities approximates fair value. The Company pledges certain securities, loans or other assets as collateral under secured financing agreements and warehouse credit facilities with financial institutions, the terms and conditions of which are negotiated on a transaction-by-transaction basis. The amounts available to be borrowed under repurchase agreements and warehouse credit facilities are dependent upon the fair value of the securities, or loans pledged as collateral, which can fluctuate with changes in interest rates, type of security and liquidity conditions within the banking, mortgage finance and real estate industries. The Company also finances the acquisition of certain assets within its investment portfolio using secured term notes and securitizations.

Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company enters into derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps, swaptions, futures, interest rate caps and to-be-announced forward contract positions (“TBAs”) securities to manage its interest rate risk and, from time to time, enhance investment returns. The Company’s derivatives are recorded as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and measured at fair value. The Company’s derivative financial instrument contracts are not designated as hedges for U.S. GAAP; accordingly, all changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The Company estimates the fair value of its derivative instruments as described in Note 19 of these consolidated financial statements.

The Company may also utilize forward contracts for the purchase or sale of TBA Agency MBS. The Company accounts for TBA Agency MBS as derivative instruments if it is reasonably possible that it will not take or make physical delivery of the Agency MBS upon settlement of the contract. The Company accounts for TBA dollar roll transactions as a series of derivative transactions. The Company may also purchase and sell TBA Agency MBS as a means of investing in and financing Agency MBS (thereby increasing “at risk” leverage) or as a means of disposing of or reducing its exposure to Agency MBS (thereby reducing “at risk” leverage). The Company agrees to purchase or sell, for future delivery, Agency MBS with certain principal and interest terms and certain types of collateral, but the particular Agency Securities to be delivered are not identified until shortly before the TBA settlement date. The Company may also choose, prior to settlement, to move the settlement of these securities out to a later date by entering into an offsetting short or long position (referred to as a “pair off”), net settling the paired off positions for cash, and simultaneously purchasing or selling a similar TBA Agency MBS for a later settlement date. This transaction is commonly referred to as a “dollar roll.” When it is reasonably possible that the Company will pair off a TBA Agency MBS, it accounts for that contract as a derivative.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Obligation to Return Securities Borrowed under Reverse Repurchase Agreements — The Company borrows securities to effectuate short sales of U.S. Treasury securities through reverse repurchase transactions under master repurchase agreements. The Company accounts for these as securities borrowing transactions and recognizes an obligation to return the borrowed securities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets based on the value of the underlying borrowed securities as of the reporting date.

Equity-Based Compensation — The Company grants equity-based compensation awards to certain employees and all directors in the form of restricted shares of common stock. The Company accounts for equity-based awards under ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to expense the cost of services received in exchange for equity-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the awards. This expense is recognized as provided in the applicable award agreement (see Note 23). The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), time-based and performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“RSU” and “PSU” awards, respectively) and Class B Profit Units (as defined in Note 23) are typically equivalent to the closing stock price on the grant date. The fair value of the Company’s LTIP Profit Units (as defined in Note 23) are liability-classified equity based awards due to a cash settlement feature. As such, the fair value of these awards is initially determined at the date of grant and is remeasured at each reporting period until settlement. Compensation expense is recognized using the accelerated attribution model over the vesting period and presented in compensation and benefits on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Residential Mortgage Origination Reserves — Newrez originates conventional, government-insured and nonconforming residential mortgage loans for sale and securitization. In connection with the transfer of loans to the GSEs or mortgage investors, Newrez provides 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. Rithm Capital records a reserve for sales recourse at the time of sale to cover all potential recourse obligations based on the outstanding balance of residential mortgage loans subject to recourse as well as historical and estimated future loss rates. Rithm Capital evaluates the ongoing adequacy of the reserve based on actual experience and changing circumstances, making adjustments to the reserve as deemed necessary.

Offering Costs — The Company has incurred offering costs in connection with common stock offerings, registration statements, preferred stock offerings and exchanges. Where applicable, the offering costs were paid out of the proceeds of the respective offerings. Offering costs in connection with common stock offerings and costs in connection with registration statements have been accounted for as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Offering costs in connection with preferred stock offerings have been accounted for as a reduction of their respective gross proceeds. Exchange costs in connection with the Company's preferred stock exchanges have been accounted for as a reduction to the Company's retained earnings.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share— In accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, Rithm Capital calculates basic income (loss) per share by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by weighted average shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding for that period. Diluted income per share takes into account the effect of dilutive instruments, such as stock options and warrants but uses the average share price for the period in determining the number of incremental shares that are to be added to the weighted average number of shares outstanding. In periods in which the Company records a net loss, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation, as their effect on loss per share is anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Income — Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. For Rithm Capital’s purposes, comprehensive income represents net income, as presented in the consolidated statements of operations, adjusted for unrealized gains or losses on certain securities classified as available for sale and a cumulative translation adjustment.

Asset Management Revenue Recognition— Management fees are generally calculated and paid to Sculptor on a quarterly basis in advance, based on the amount of assets under management (“AUM”) at the beginning of the quarter. Management fees for certain of our closed-end funds are based on invested capital. Management fees are prorated for capital inflows and redemptions during the quarter. Management fees are recognized over the period during which the related services are performed. Certain of Sculptor’s management fees are paid on a quarterly basis in arrears.

Sculptor considers management fees to be a form of variable consideration, as the amount earned each quarter may depend on various contingencies, such as the value of AUM, capital inflows and outflows during the period, or changes in committed or invested capital. Management fees, however, are generally recognized at the end of each reporting period and are not subject to clawback and, therefore, the value of the management fees Sculptor is entitled to receive at the end of each quarter is generally no longer subject to the constraint.

A portion of the management fees Sculptor earns from its collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs” or a “CLO”) is subordinated to other obligations of the CLOs, including principal and interest on the notes issued by the CLOs. When certain overcollateralization tests are triggered, cash flows received on the underlying collateral in the CLOs that would have otherwise been distributed as subordinated management fees to Sculptor are redirected to pay principal and interest on the more senior obligations of the CLOs. In the event a CLO fails to satisfy one or more overcollateralization tests, Sculptor will stop recognizing management fees for the CLO until if and when the collateral tests are remedied and all fees are paid.

The Company, through Sculptor, earns incentive income based on the cumulative performance of the funds over a commitment period. Sculptor recognizes incentive income when it is probable that such income will not significantly reverse. Incentive income is considered variable consideration, the recognition of which is subject to the constraints. Incentive income is no longer constrained when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. Determining the amount of incentive income to record is subject to qualitative and quantitative factors including, where a fund is in its life-cycle, whether Sculptor has received or is entitled to receive incentive income distributions and potential sales of fund investments. Sculptor continuously evaluates whether there are additional considerations that could potentially impact the recognition of incentive income. To the extent that distributions have been received, but for which the recognition of incentive income is not appropriate, Sculptor will recognize a liability for unearned incentive income.

The commitment period for certain of Sculptor’s AUM is for a period of one year on a calendar-year basis with incentive income recognized annually on December 31. Sculptor may also recognize incentive income related to fund investor redemptions at other times during the year, and on AUM subject to initial commitment periods that are longer than one year where the commitment period expires during the year. Sculptor may also recognize incentive income for tax distributions that Sculptor is entitled to that cover estimated tax obligations of Sculptor related to the management of certain funds, as such distributions are not subject to clawback once distributed to Sculptor.

Incentive income is generally based on the investment performance of its funds. Incentive income is generally equal to 20% of the profits, net of management fees, attributable to each fund investor. Incentive income may be subject to hurdle rates, where Sculptor is not entitled to incentive income until the investment performance exceed an agreed upon benchmark with a preferential “catch-up” allocation once the rate has been exceeded, or a perpetual “high-water mark”, where any losses generated in a fund must be recouped before taking incentive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. This standard became effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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. This standard became effective for the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Upon adoption of the new standard, the Company has included the new additional and relevant required disclosures within its segment reporting disclosures in Note 4.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which focuses on income tax disclosures around effective tax rates and cash income taxes paid. This standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, including a tabular rate reconciliation for specified categories and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The standard also requires a summary of federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes paid, net of refunds received, as well as separate disclosure of payments made to jurisdictions representing 5% or more of total income taxes paid. The new disclosures specified by ASU 2023-09 are required in the Company’s annual financial statements beginning with the year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 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 the Company beginning January 1, 2025, 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.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. This standard requires public companies to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. The new standard, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact upon adoption, but does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of Computershare Mortgage Services Inc.

Rithm Capital completed the acquisition of Computershare Mortgage Services Inc. (“Computershare”) and certain affiliated companies, including Specialized Loan Servicing LLC (“SLS”), and the simultaneous merger of SLS into Newrez on May 1, 2024 (the “Computershare Acquisition”). Rithm Capital accounted for this transaction using the acquisition method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.

Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the allocation of the total consideration paid as of December 31, 2024 to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities related to the Computershare Acquisition during the second quarter of 2024:

(A)Includes $16.0 million of intangible assets in the form of customer relationships. This intangible is being amortized over a finite life of 4.5 years.

Rithm Capital acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Computershare and certain affiliated companies, including SLS, for a GAAP purchase price of $731.0 million cash consideration. At the time of acquisition, SLS merged into Newrez. Upon completing the Computershare Acquisition, the consideration transferred for the acquired assets and assumed liabilities was determined to be less than the net assets acquired from Computershare, resulting in an economic gain (“Bargain Purchase”). Rithm Capital completed the required reassessment to validate that all assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date had been identified and appropriately measured in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Based on the reassessment, the transaction resulted in a Bargain Purchase gain of $27.4 million, which has been included inother income (loss), net within the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Bargain Purchase gain was primarily driven by the change in fair value of the acquired MSR between the signing and closing dates of the acquisition.

The estimate of fair value of assets and liabilities required the use of significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates included, but were not limited to, future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, and the applicable discount rates. These estimates were based on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The assessment of fair value is preliminary and is based on information that was available to management at the time the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Those estimates and assumptions are subject to change as management obtains additional information related to those estimates during the applicable measurement period. The most significant open items necessary to complete the assessment of fair value are related to servicer advances receivable, mortgage servicing rights, other assets and other liabilities. The final acquisition accounting adjustments, including those resulting from conforming Computershare’s accounting policies to those of Rithm Capital’s, could differ materially.

Rithm Capital has not disclosed the amount of revenue and net income attributable to Computershare for the year ended December 31, 2024, because it is impracticable to do so. As of the beginning of the third quarter in 2024, Computershare’s operations and financial information have been integrated within the Company’s systems, making it infeasible to separately identify and report the specific revenue and net income figures for Computershare.

Acquisition related costs are expensed in the period incurred. Rithm Capital recognized $17.8 million of Computershare Acquisition related costs that were expensed for the year ended December 31, 2024. These costs are grouped and presented within compensation and benefits and general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.

Intangible assets acquired consist of customer relationships. Rithm Capital amortizes finite-lived customer relationships on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The weighted average life of the total acquired identifiable intangible assets is 4.5 years. The following table presents the details of identifiable intangible assets acquired:

Measurement Period Adjustments

The following table summarizes the provisional amounts recognized related to the Computershare Acquisition as of the acquisition date, as well as the measurement period adjustments made in the fourth quarter of 2024 to arrive at the revised preliminary allocation of the total consideration paid to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities:

(A)The adjustment to total consideration was primarily driven by changes in valuation of MSRs acquired and resolutions with seller with respect to servicing fee receivables (as reflected in other assets) and legal obligations (as reflected in accrued expenses and other liabilities).

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table presents unaudited pro forma combined revenues and income before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 prepared as if the Computershare Acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2023:

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information reflects, among other things, financing adjustments, amortization of intangibles and transactions costs. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information has not been adjusted to reflect all conforming accounting policies. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not include any anticipated synergies or other anticipated benefits of the Computershare Acquisition and, accordingly, the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the Computershare Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2023.

Acquisition of Sculptor Capital Management, Inc.

Rithm Capital completed the acquisition of Sculptor on November 17, 2023 (the “Sculptor Acquisition”) as part of its strategy to expand its asset management capabilities. Rithm Capital accounted for this transaction using the acquisition method which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date.

Purchase Price Allocation

The following table summarizes the allocation of the total consideration paid to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities related to the Sculptor Acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2023:

(A)The fair value of total consideration transferred included cash of $600.6 million and assumption of unvested shares of Sculptor stock of $29.7 million for a total consideration of $630.3 million.

(B)Includes $275.0 million of intangible assets in the form of management contracts. These intangibles are being amortized over a finite life of 10 years.

(C)Includes $246.1 million of CLOs.

Rithm Capital acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Sculptor for a GAAP purchase price of approximately

$630.3 million. Prior to the close of the Sculptor Acquisition, on October 12, 2023, Rithm Capital purchased from Delaware Life Insurance Company (“DLIC”) warrants to purchase 4,338,015 shares of Sculptor class A common stock issued by Sculptor to DLIC in November 2020 at an exercise price of $7.95 per share. The warrant purchase price was $37.5 million, including additional amounts paid to DLIC in connection with the successful closing of the Sculptor Acquisition, and is considered a component of the Sculptor Acquisition purchase price.

Rithm Capital recognized goodwill of $48.6 million, a portion of which is purchased goodwill, related to the Sculptor Acquisition. The goodwill was primarily driven by the assembled workforce acquired with the Sculptor Acquisition. Purchased goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years. Rithm Capital will assess the goodwill annually during the fourth quarter and in interim periods in case of events or circumstances that make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred.

The estimate of fair value of assets and liabilities required the use of significant assumptions and estimates. Critical estimates included, but were not limited to, future expected cash flows, including projected revenues and expenses, and the applicable discount rates. These estimates were based on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The results of Sculptor’s operations were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations from November 17, 2023 through December 31, 2023 and represent $82.7 million of asset management revenues, $3.8 million of interest income and $1.0 million of net income.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the period incurred. Rithm Capital recognized $32.9 million of Sculptor Acquisition-related costs that were expensed for the year ended December 31, 2023. These costs are grouped and presented within general and administrative in the consolidated statements of operations.

Intangible assets consist of management agreements with Sculptor’s various funds categorized as management contracts. Rithm Capital amortizes finite-lived management contracts on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The weighted average life of the total acquired identifiable intangible assets is 10 years. The following table presents the details of identifiable intangible assets acquired:

Measurement Period Adjustments

The following table summarizes the provisional amounts recognized related to the Sculptor Acquisition as of the acquisition date, as well as the measurement period adjustments made in the fourth quarter of 2024 to arrive at the final allocation of the total consideration paid to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities:

(A)The adjustment to other assets primarily reflects the impact on deferred tax assets attributable to certain return to provision adjustments.

Unvested RSUs

In connection with the Sculptor Acquisition, unvested RSUs held by Sculptor employees at the time of the Sculptor Acquisition were converted into a deferred cash plan payable, resulting in a $29.7 million liability as of the date of the Sculptor Acquisition of deferred cash compensation due to employees.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information

The following table presents unaudited pro forma combined revenues and income before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 prepared as if the Sculptor Acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2022:

The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information reflects, among other things, financing adjustments, amortization of intangibles and transactions costs. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information has not been adjusted to reflect all conforming of accounting policies. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not include any anticipated synergies or other anticipated benefits of the Sculptor Acquisition and, accordingly, the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the Sculptor Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2022.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING

Rithm Capital conducts its business and generates substantially all of its revenues primarily in the U.S. through operating segments that have been aggregated into the following reportable segments: (i) Origination and Servicing, (ii) Investment Portfolio, (iii) Residential Transitional Lending and (iv) Asset Management. Activities that are not directly attributable or not allocated to any of the reportable segments are reported under Corporate as a reconciling item to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The activities within Corporate primarily consist of general and administrative expenses, corporate cash and related interest income and the Senior Unsecured Notes (as defined in Note 18) and related interest expense.

In 2024, Rithm Capital reevaluated and revised the composition of its reportable segments based on the changes to its management reporting structure and performance assessment. MSR portfolio serviced by third-parties, government and government-backed securities, including corresponding hedges, servicer advances receivable and Guardian’s operations that were previously reflected within the Investment Portfolio segment are now reflected within the Origination and Servicing segment. Segment information for prior periods has been recast to reflect these changes. Additionally, the title of the Mortgage Loans Receivable segment was changed to Residential Transitional Lending.

The structure of the reportable segments is differentiated by the nature of the Company’s business activities, which is consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization, as well as by the financial information used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to make decisions regarding the Company’s business, including resource allocation and performance assessment. The Company’s CODM is the Chairman, Chief Executive Office and President.

The Origination and Servicing segment generates revenue through servicing fee revenue, interest income and gain on originated and sold residential mortgage loans. The Investment Portfolio segment generates revenue from certain real estate securities, SFR properties, residential mortgage loans, consumer loans and certain ancillary and equity method investments primarily in the form of interest income and other investment portfolio revenues. The Residential Transitional Lending segment generates revenue through interest income related to the origination and management of a portfolio of short-term mortgage loans to fund the construction and development of, or investment in, residential properties. The Asset Management segment generates revenue through management and incentive fees based primarily on the AUM and performance of funds and accounts managed by the Company.

Income before income taxes is the measure of segment profit and loss that is determined in accordance with the measurement principles used in measuring the corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements and used by the CODM to evaluate segment results. It is also one of the factors considered in determining capital allocation among the segments, assessing performance for each segment and determining compensation for certain employees.

The following tables summarize segment financial information, including the Corporate category explained above, which in total reconciles to the same data for Rithm Capital on a consolidated basis:

(A)The Origination and Servicing segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to loan origination and servicing, information technology, occupancy and legal and professional. The Investment Portfolio segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to loan servicing and property and maintenance. The Residential Transitional Lending segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to loan origination, occupancy and information technology. The Asset Management segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to legal and professional, information technology and occupancy.

(A)The Origination and Servicing segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to loan origination and servicing, information technology, occupancy and legal and professional. The Investment Portfolio segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to loan servicing and property and maintenance. The Residential Transitional Lending segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to loan origination, occupancy and information technology. The Asset Management segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to legal and professional, information technology and occupancy.

(A)The Origination and Servicing segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to loan origination and servicing, information technology, occupancy and legal and professional. The Investment Portfolio segment’s other segment expenses primarily include expenses related to loan servicing and property and maintenance.

5. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS AND MSR FINANCING RECEIVABLES

The following table summarizes activity related to MSRs and MSR financing receivables:

(A)Represents MSRs retained on the sale of originated residential mortgage loans. Includes $54.4 million and $0.0 million of MSRs capitalized through co-issue with third-parties for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(B)Relates primarily to excess servicing cash flows sold on certain agency loans with a total UPB of approximately $91.4 billion during the year ended December 31, 2023. In connection with these sales, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $5.2 million during the period, which is included within change in fair value of MSRs and MSR financing receivables in the consolidated statements of operations.

(C)Based on the paydown of the underlying residential mortgage loans.

The following table summarizes components of servicing revenue, net:

(A)Net of $4.9 million of realization of cash flows related to excess spread financing for the year ended December 31, 2024. There wasno excess spread financing during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Note 12).

(B)Net of $19.2 million of change in valuation inputs and assumptions related to excess spread financing for the year ended December 31, 2024. There wasno excess spread financing during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Note 12).

The following table summarizes MSRs and MSR financing receivables by type as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

(A)Represents the weighted average expected timing of the receipt of expected cash flows for this investment.

(B)Represents the fair value for this investment. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, weighted average discount rates of 8.9% (range of 8.7% –10.3%) and 8.5% (range of 7.9% –10.8%), respectively, were used to value Rithm Capital’s MSRs and MSR financing receivables, respectively.

(C)As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Rithm Capital has approximately $2.7 billion and $1.8 billion in residential mortgage loans subject to repurchase and the related residential mortgage loans repurchase liability on its consolidated balance sheets.

Residential Mortgage Loans Subject to Repurchase

Rithm Capital, through Newrez, is an approved issuer of Ginnie Mae 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 recognizes delinquent loans as if they had been repurchased with a corresponding liability. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Rithm Capital reflected approximately $2.7 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, in residential mortgage loans subject to repurchase and residential mortgage loan 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 re-recognizing loans eligible for repurchase. Rather, upon repurchase of a loan, the MSR is written off. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Rithm Capital holds approximately $0.5 billion and $0.4 billion, respectively, of such repurchased loans presented within residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale on its consolidated balance sheets.

Onity MSR Financing Receivable Transactions

In July 2017, Onity Group Inc. (formerly known as Ocwen Financial Corporation) (collectively with certain affiliates, “Onity”), and subsequently PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHH”) (as successor through acquisition by Onity), and Rithm Capital entered into an agreement to transfer to Rithm Capital, Onity’s remaining interests in 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, Onity sold and transferred to Rithm Capital certain Rights to MSRs and other assets related to MSRs for loans with an UPB of approximately $86.8 billion, of which approximately $10.4 billion UPB, as of December 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, at fair value.

Geographic Distributions

The table below summarizes the geographic distribution of the residential mortgage loans underlying the MSRs and 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 Servicing and 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $242.9 billion and $102.5 billion, respectively. Rithm Capital earned servicing revenue of $219.6 million, $139.4 million and $132.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to unaffiliated serviced loans 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 in the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024, PHH and Valon Mortgage, Inc. subserviced 7.1% and 4.0% of owned MSRs, respectively, with the remaining 88.9% of owned MSRs 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 it services (Note 26). These servicer advances are recorded when advanced and are included in servicer advances receivable on the consolidated balance sheets.

The table below summarizes the type of advances included in the servicer advances receivable:

(A)Includes $673.7 million and $585.0 million of servicer advances receivable related to GSEs MSRs, respectively, recoverable either from the borrower or the Agencies.

(B)Includes $529.3 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 valuation through a non-reimbursable advance loss assumption.

(C)Expected losses for advances associated with loans in the MSR portfolio are considered in the MSR fair value through a non-reimbursable advance loss assumption.

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 the respective 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, modified or delinquent, the Company provisioned $121.4 million, or 3.7%, and $93.7 million, or 3.3%, for expected non-recovery of advances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes servicer advances provision activity during the period:

See Note 18 regarding the financing of MSRs and servicer advances receivable.

6. GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENT-BACKED SECURITIES

Government and government-backed securities include Agency securities issued by the GSEs or Ginnie Mae and U.S. Treasury (“Treasury”) securities. The following tables summarize Agency and Treasury securities by designation:

(A)Fair value is equal to the carrying value for all securities. See Note 19 regarding the fair value measurements.

(B)Based on the timing of expected principal reduction on the assets.

(C)All fixed-rate as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

As of December 31, 2024, Rithm Capital hadno unsettled trades.

See Note 18 regarding the financing of government and government-backed securities.

7. RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS

Rithm Capital accumulates its residential mortgage loan portfolio through originations, bulk acquisitions and the execution of call rights. A majority of the residential mortgage loan portfolio is serviced by Newrez.

Loans are accounted for based on Rithm Capital’s strategy and intent for the loan and on whether the loan was credit-impaired at the date of acquisition. As of December 31, 2024, Rithm Capital accounts for loans based on the following categories:

•Loans held-for-investment (“HFI”), at fair value

•Loans held-for-sale (“HFS”), at lower of cost or fair value

•Loans HFS, at fair value

•Investments of consolidated CFEs represent mortgage loans held by certain mortgage securitization trusts where Rithm Capital is determined to be a primary beneficiary and, as a result, consolidates such trusts. The assets are measured based on the fair value of the more observable liabilities of such trusts under the CFE election. The obligations and liabilities of CFEs may only be satisfied with the assets of the respective consolidated CFEs, and creditors of the CFE do not have recourse to Rithm Capital Corp.

The following table summarizes residential mortgage loans outstanding by loan type:

(A)For loans classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, the weighted average life is based on the expected timing of the receipt of cash flows. For Level 2 loans, the weighted average life is based on the contractual term of the loan.

(B)Residential mortgage loans of consolidated CFEs are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and valued based on the fair value of the more observable financial liabilities under the CFE election.

(C)Performing loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest is 90 days or more past due.

(D)As of December 31, 2024, Rithm Capital has placed non-performing loans, HFS on non-accrual status, except as described in (E) below.

(E)Includes $245.8 million and $281.6 million UPB of Ginnie Mae early buyout options performing and non-performing loans, respectively, on accrual status as contractual cash flows are guaranteed by the FHA as of December 31, 2024.

See Note 18 regarding the financing of residential mortgage loans.

17. 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 in order to mitigate Rithm Capital’s interest rate risk on certain specified MBS 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 MBS and MSR fair value fluctuations, or hedging gains and losses, are reflected in the tables below.

Rithm Capital enters into short sales of Treasury securities to mitigate interest rate risk by borrowing the securities under reverse repurchase agreements and selling them into the market. As of December 31, 2024, the Company accounts for these as securities borrowing transactions and recognizes a net position presented in other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not meet the relevant netting criteria and recognized an obligation to return the borrowed securities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets based on the value of the underlying Treasury security.

As of December 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 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 U.S. 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 Sculptor Acquisition, 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.

The estimated undiscounted future payment under the TRA was $252.5 million as of December 31, 2024. The carrying value of the TRA liability measured at amortized cost was $170.4 million and $172.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, 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 December 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.

19. 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 judgment 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.

U.S. 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.

The carrying values and fair values of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as other financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed, as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:

(A)The notional amount represents the total UPB of the residential mortgage loans underlying the MSRs, MSR financing receivables, Excess MSRs and excess spread financing. Rithm Capital does not receive an excess mortgage servicing amount on non-performing loans in Agency portfolios.

(B)Includes Treasury Bills classified as Level 1 and held at amortized cost basis of $24.8 million (see Note 6).

(C)Represents assets and notes issued by consolidated VIEs accounted for under the CFE election.

(D)Includes $185.5 million of SCFT 2020-A (as defined in Note 20) MBS as of December 31, 2024, for which the FVO for financial instruments was elected.

The carrying values and fair values of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as other financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed, as of December 31, 2023 were as follows:

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s Level 3 financial assets for the periods presented:

(A)Includes the recapture agreement for each respective pool, as applicable.

(B)For the purpose of this table, the IRLC asset and liability positions and other commitment derivatives are shown net.

(C)Includes CLOs of consolidated CFEs classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

(D)Includes residential transition loans of consolidated CFEs classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

(E)Gain (loss) recorded in earnings during the period is attributable to the change in unrealized gain (loss) relating to Level 3 assets still held at the reporting dates and realized gain (loss) recorded during the period.

(F)See Note 5 for further details on the components of servicing revenue, net.

(G)Gain (loss) included in unrealized gain (loss) on AFS securities, net in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

(H)Real estate and other securities includes non-Agency securities retained through securitizations accounted for as sales.

(I)For the year ended December 31, 2024, transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 were primarily due to increased price transparency.
