(G)For certain pools, recapture rate represents the expected recapture rate with the successor subservicer appointed by NRM.

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

As of June 30, 2023, real estate securities valuation methodology and results are detailed below. Treasury securities are valued using market-based prices published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and classified as Level 1.

					Fair Value
Asset Type	Outstanding Face Amount		Amortized Cost Basis		Multiple Quotes(A)		Single Quote(B)		Total		Level
Agency RMBS	$	7,899,981	$	7,737,530	$	7,769,675	$	—	$	7,769,675	2
Non-Agency RMBS(C)	17,551,898		927,258		910,356		41,987		952,343		3
Total	$	25,451,879	$	8,664,788	$	8,680,031	$	41,987	$	8,722,018

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

The third-party pricing services and brokers engaged by Rithm Capital (collectively, “valuation providers”) use either the income approach or the market approach, or a combination of the two, in arriving at their estimated valuations of RMBS. Valuation providers using the market approach generally look at prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. Valuation providers using the income approach create pricing models that generally incorporate such assumptions as discount rates, expected prepayment rates, expected default rates and expected loss severities. Rithm Capital has reviewed the methodologies utilized by its valuation providers and has found them to be consistent with GAAP requirements. In addition to obtaining multiple quotations, when available, and reviewing the valuation methodologies of its valuation providers, Rithm Capital creates its own internal pricing models for Level 3 securities and uses the outputs of these models as part of its process

of evaluating the fair value estimates it receives from its valuation providers. These models incorporate the same types of assumptions as the models used by the valuation providers, but the assumptions are developed independently. These assumptions are regularly refined and updated at least quarterly by Rithm Capital and reviewed by its valuation group, which is separate from its investment acquisition and management group, to reflect market developments and actual performance.

For 51.9% of Non-Agency RMBS, the ranges and weighted averages of assumptions used by Rithm Capital’s valuation providers are summarized in the table below. The assumptions used by Rithm Capital’s valuation providers with respect to the remainder of Non-Agency RMBS were not readily available.

	Fair Value		Discount Rate	Prepayment Rate(a)	CDR(b)	Loss Severity(c)
Non-Agency RMBS	$	494,700	5.3% – 12.6% (7.0%)	0.2% – 17.3% (7.0%)	0.0% – 2.7% (0.4%)	0.0% – 75.0% (16.9%)

(a)Represents the annualized rate of the prepayments as a percentage of the total principal balance of the pool.

(b)Represents the annualized rate of the involuntary prepayments (defaults) as a percentage of the total principal balance of the pool.

(c)Represents the expected amount of future realized losses resulting from the ultimate liquidation of a particular loan, expressed as the net amount of loss relative to the outstanding balance.

(B)Rithm Capital was unable to obtain quotations from more than one source on these securities.

(C)Includes Rithm Capital’s investments in interest-only notes for which the fair value option for financial instruments was elected.
