Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION	BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION Rithm Capital Corp. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Rithm Capital,” the “Company” or “we,” “our” and “us”) is a global asset manager focused on real estate, credit and financial services. Rithm Capital is a Delaware corporation that was formed as a limited liability company in September 2011 (commenced operations in December 2011) and for the purpose of making real estate and financial related investments. 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”). As a result of the Internalization, Rithm Capital operates as an internally managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). In connection with the termination of the Management Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Former Manager $400.0 million (subject to certain adjustments), which payments were completed by December 15, 2022. We seek to generate long-term value for our investors by using our 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. Our investments in real estate related assets include our equity interest in operating companies, including leading origination and servicing platforms held through wholly-owned subsidiaries, Newrez LLC (“Newrez”) and Genesis Capital LLC (“Genesis”), as well as investments in single-family rentals (“SFR”), title, appraisal and property preservation and maintenance businesses. Our strategy involves opportunistically pursuing acquisitions and seeking to establish strategic partnerships that we believe enable us to maximize the value of our investments by offering products and services related to the lifecycle of transactions that affect each mortgage loan and underlying residential property or collateral. We operate our asset management business primarily through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. (“Sculptor”). 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. We completed the Sculptor Acquisition (as defined below) on November 17, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, Rithm Capital conducted its business through the following segments: (i) Origination and Servicing, (ii) Investment Portfolio, (iii) Mortgage Loans Receivable, (iv) Asset Management and (v) Corporate. Within our portfolio, we target complementary assets that generate stable long-term cash flows and employ conservative capital structures in an effort to generate returns across different interest rate environments. Our investment approach and capital allocation decisions combine a focus on asset selection, relative value and risk management, while taking into consideration available financing and other relevant macroeconomic factors. In our efforts to identify and invest in target assets, we compete with banks, other REITs, non-bank mortgage lenders and servicers, private equity firms, alternative assets managers, hedge funds and other large financial services companies. In the face of this competition, the experience of members of our management team and dedicated investment professionals provide us with a competitive advantage when pursuing attractive investment opportunities. During 2023, our servicing and origination businesses operated through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Newrez and Caliber Home Loans Inc. (“Caliber”, and together with Newrez, the “Mortgage Company”). The integration of Caliber operations was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023 and as such all Mortgage Company operations are within Newrez as of December 31, 2023. Our residential mortgage origination business sources and originates loans through four distinct channels: Direct to Consumer, Retail, Wholesale and Correspondent. Additionally, our servicing platform complement our origination business and offer our subsidiaries and third-party clients performing and special servicing capabilities. We also operate additional real estate related businesses, including Avenue 365 Lender Services, LLC, our title company, and eStreet Appraisal Management LLC, our appraisal management company. Our real estate businesses also include Adoor LLC (“Adoor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, which is focused on the acquisition and management of our SFR properties and Genesis, a lender for experienced developers and investors of residential real estate, which also supports our Adoor business. We also have investments in Guardian Asset Management (“Guardian”), a national provider of field services and property management services. Rithm Capital, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries New Residential Mortgage LLC (“NRM”) and Newrez, is licensed or otherwise eligible to service residential mortgage loans in all states within the United States and the District of Columbia. NRM and the Mortgage Company 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, “Government Sponsored Enterprises” or “GSEs”), and in the case of Newrez, Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”). Newrez is also eligible to perform servicing on behalf of other servicers (subservicing) and investors. 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 GSEs and Ginnie Mae. Loans originated outside of the GSEs, guidelines of the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”), United States 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. We seek to protect book value and the value of our assets by actively managing and hedging our portfolio. Diversification of our overall portfolio, including our portfolio assets and operating entities, and a variety of hedging strategies help contribute to book value stability. Both our portfolio composition (inclusive of long and short duration instruments and various operating businesses) and specific hedging instruments (including Agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) to-be-announced forward contract positions (“TBAs”), interest rate swaps and others) are employed to mitigate book value volatility. We believe that the actions we have taken over the past number of years to diversify and grow our portfolio have allowed us to operate efficiently and perform dynamically across economic conditions. We also seek to protect our assets and reduce the impact of prepayments on our mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and Excess mortgage servicing right (“Excess MSR”) investments through own recapture efforts and agreements with our subservicers. Under our agreements with subservicers, Rithm Capital is generally entitled to the MSRs or a pro rata interest in the Excess MSRs on any initial or subsequent refinancing of loans relating to MSRs and Excess MSRs subserviced or serviced by PHH Mortgage Corporation (“PHH”), Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (“Mr. Cooper”), Valon Mortgage, Inc. (“Valon”), Specialized Loan Servicing LLC (“SLS”) or Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. Rithm Capital has elected and intends to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for United States of America (“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 26 for additional information regarding Rithm Capital’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Acquisition of Sculptor Capital Management, Inc.
