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 to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities related to the Computershare Acquisition during the second quarter of 2024:

Total Consideration$715,458 
Assets:
Residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale2,402 
Servicer advances receivable269,484 
Mortgage servicing rights, at fair value700,207 
Cash and cash equivalents101,993 
Restricted cash2,271 
Other assets(A)
83,056 
Total Assets Acquired1,159,413 
Liabilities:
Accrued expenses and other liabilities225,944 
Secured notes and bonds payable190,596 
Total Liabilities Assumed416,540 
Net Assets742,873 
Bargain Purchase Gain$27,415 
(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 cash consideration of $715.5 million. 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 in other 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 MSRs 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 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.

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:
Estimated Useful LifeAmount
Customer Relationships4.5$16,000 
Total Identifiable Intangible Assets$16,000
