(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.
