As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Rithm Capital had no unsettled trades. Unsettled trades are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on trade date as Receivables for Investments Sold or Payables for Investments Purchased.

Rithm Capital has exercised its call rights with respect to Non-Agency RMBS trusts and purchased performing and non-performing residential mortgage loans and REO contained in such trusts prior to their termination. In certain cases, Rithm Capital sold portions of the purchased loans through securitizations, and retained bonds issued by such securitizations. In addition, Rithm Capital received par on the securities issued by the called trusts which it owned prior to such trusts’ termination. Refer to Notes 8 and 23 for further details on these transactions.

(A)Required to be recorded through earnings. In measuring the portion of credit losses, Rithm Capital estimates the expected cash flow for each of the securities. This evaluation included a review of the credit status and the performance of the collateral supporting those securities, including the credit of the issuer, key terms of the securities and the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends. Significant inputs in estimating the cash flows included Rithm Capital’s expectations of prepayment rates, default rates and loss severities. Credit losses were measured as the decline in the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the security’s effective interest rate.
(B)Represents unrealized losses on securities that are due to non-credit factors.
(C)Rithm Capital may, at times, be more likely than not to be required to sell certain securities for liquidity purposes. While the amount of the securities to be sold may be an estimate, and the securities to be sold have not yet been identified, Rithm Capital must make its best estimate, which is subject to significant judgment regarding future events, and may differ materially from actual future sales.

Rithm Capital evaluates the credit quality of its real estate securities, as of the acquisition date, for evidence of credit quality deterioration. As a result, Rithm Capital identified a population of real estate securities for which it was determined that it was probable that Rithm Capital would be unable to collect all contractually required payments.

The following is the outstanding face amount and carrying value for securities, for which, as of the acquisition date, it was probable that Rithm Capital would be unable to collect all contractually required payments, excluding residual and fair value option securities:
