Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The Company holds a variety of assets, certain of which are not publicly traded or that are otherwise illiquid. Significant judgment and estimation go into the assumptions that drive the fair value of these assets. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of investments that are determined to be illiquid or do not have readily ascertainable fair values, the estimates of fair value may differ from the values ultimately realized, and those differences can be material.

U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type and the specific characteristics of the assets and liabilities, including existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Assets and liabilities with readily available actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively-quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed into one of the following categories based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments.

Level 2 – Valuations based principally on other observable market parameters, including:

•Quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments,

•Quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments,

•Other observable inputs, such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment rates, loss severities, credit risks and default rates (“CDR”) and

•Market corroborated inputs (derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data).

Level 3 – Valuations based significantly on unobservable inputs.

Rithm Capital follows this hierarchy for its fair value measurements. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying values and fair values of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as other financial instruments measured at amortized cost for which fair value is disclosed, as of March 31, 2025 were as follows:

Excess MSRs, MSRs and MSR Financing Receivables and Excess Spread Financing Valuation

Fair value estimates of Rithm Capital’s MSRs and related excess spread financing and Excess MSRs were based on internal pricing models. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included expectations of prepayment rates, delinquency rates, recapture rates, mortgage servicing amount or excess mortgage servicing amount of the underlying residential mortgage loans, as applicable, and discount rates that market participants would use in determining the fair values of MSRs on similar pools of residential mortgage loans. In addition, for MSRs, significant inputs included the market-level estimated cost of servicing.

Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rates, prepayment or delinquency rates, or costs of servicing, in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, whereas significant increases (decreases) in the recapture rates or mortgage servicing amount or excess mortgage servicing amount, as applicable, in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the delinquency rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the prepayment rate.

(A)Weighted by fair value of the portfolio.

(B)Projected annualized weighted average lifetime voluntary and involuntary prepayment rate using a prepayment vector.

(C)Projected percentage of residential mortgage loans in the pool for which the borrower is expected to miss a mortgage payment.

(D)Percentage of voluntarily prepaid loans that are expected to be refinanced by the related servicer or subservicer, as applicable.

(E)Weighted average total mortgage servicing amount, in excess of the base fee as applicable, measured in basis points (“bps”). As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, weighted average costs of subservicing of $6.88 (range of $6.86 – $6.94) and $6.89 (range of $6.87 - $6.96), respectively, per loan per month was used to value the GSE MSRs. Weighted average costs of subservicing of $9.28 (range of $8.22 – $10.55) and $9.60 (range of $8.45 - $11.55), respectively, per loan per month was used to value the non-Agency MSRs, including MSR financing receivables. Weighted average cost of subservicing of $8.20 and $8.25, respectively, per loan per month was used to value the Ginnie Mae MSRs.

(F)Weighted average maturity of the underlying residential mortgage loans in the pool.

With respect to valuing the PHH-serviced MSRs and MSR financing receivables, which include a significant servicer advances receivable component, the cost of financing servicer advances receivable is assumed to be SOFR plus 95 bps as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, a weighted average discount rate of 8.4% (range of 8.1% – 9.0%) and 8.4% (range of 8.1% - 9.0%), respectively, was used to value Rithm Capital’s Excess MSRs. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, a weighted average discount rate of 8.9% (range of 8.8% – 10.3%) and 8.9% (range of 8.7% - 10.3%), respectively, was used to value Rithm Capital’s MSRs, MSR financing receivables and excess spread financing.

All of the assumptions listed have some degree of market observability, based on Rithm Capital’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants and use of common market data sources. Rithm Capital uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows for each investment in MSRs and related excess spread financing and Excess MSRs.

When valuing these assets, Rithm Capital uses the following criteria to determine the significant inputs:

•Prepayment Rate: Prepayment rate projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The prepayment vector specifies the percentage of the collateral balance that is expected to prepay voluntarily (i.e., pay off) and involuntarily (i.e., default) at each point in the future. The prepayment vector is based on assumptions that reflect macroeconomic conditions like home price appreciation, current level of interest rates as well as loan level factors such as the borrower’s interest rate, FICO score, LTV ratio, debt-to-income ratio and vintage on a loan level basis. Rithm Capital considers historical prepayment experience associated with the collateral when determining this vector and also reviews industry research on the prepayment experience of similar loan pools. This data is obtained from remittance reports, market data services and other market sources.

•Delinquency Rates: For existing mortgage pools, delinquency rates are based on the recent pool-specific experience of loans that missed their latest mortgage payments. Delinquency rate projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The delinquency vector specifies the percentage of the UPB that is expected to be delinquent each month. The delinquency vector is based on assumptions that reflect macroeconomic conditions, the historical delinquency rates for the pools and the underlying borrower characteristics such as the FICO score and LTV ratio. For the recapture agreements and recaptured loans, delinquency rates are based on the experience of similar loan pools originated by Rithm Capital’s servicers and subservicers (the Company’s “Servicing Partners”) and delinquency experience over the past year. Rithm Capital believes this time period provides a reasonable sample for projecting future delinquency rates while taking into account current market conditions. Additional consideration is given to loans that are expected to become 30 or more days delinquent.

•Recapture Rates: Recapture rates are based on actual average recapture rates experienced by Rithm Capital’s Servicing Partners on similar residential mortgage loan pools. Generally, Rithm Capital looks to three to six months’ worth of actual recapture rates, which it believes provides a reasonable sample for projecting future recapture rates while taking into account current market conditions. Recapture rate projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The recapture vector specifies the percentage of the refinanced loans that have been recaptured within the pool by the servicer or subservicer. The recapture vector takes into account the nature and timeline of the relationship between the borrowers in the pool and the servicer or subservicer, the customer retention programs offered by the servicer or subservicer and the historical recapture rates.

•Mortgage Servicing Amount or Excess Mortgage Servicing Amount: For existing mortgage pools, mortgage servicing amount and excess mortgage servicing amount projections are based on the actual total mortgage servicing amount, in excess of a base fee as applicable. For loans expected to be refinanced by the related servicer or subservicer and subject to a recapture agreement, Rithm Capital considers the mortgage servicing amount or excess mortgage servicing amount on loans recently originated by the related servicer over the past three months and other general market considerations. Rithm Capital believes this time period provides a reasonable sample for projecting future mortgage servicing amounts and excess mortgage servicing amounts while taking into account current market conditions.

•Discount Rate: The discount rates used by Rithm Capital are derived from market data on pricing of MSRs backed by similar collateral.

•Cost of subservicing: The costs of subservicing used by Rithm Capital are based on available market data for various loan types and delinquency statuses.

Rithm Capital uses different prepayment and delinquency assumptions in valuing the MSRs and Excess MSRs, relating to the original loan pools, the recapture agreements and the MSRs and Excess MSRs relating to recaptured loans. The prepayment rate and delinquency rate assumptions differ because of differences in the collateral characteristics, refinance potential and expected borrower behavior for original loans and loans which have been refinanced. The assumptions for recapture and discount rates when valuing MSRs and Excess MSRs and recapture agreements are based on historical recapture experience and market pricing.

Each of the preceding sensitivity analyses is hypothetical and is provided for illustrative purposes only. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented. In particular, the results are calculated by stressing a particular economic assumption independent of changes in any other assumption; in practice, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might counteract or amplify the sensitivities. Also, changes in the fair value based on a 10% variation in an assumption generally may not be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear.

Servicer Advance Investments Valuation

Rithm Capital uses internal pricing models to estimate the future cash flows related to the servicer advance investments that incorporate significant unobservable inputs and include assumptions that are inherently subjective and imprecise. Rithm Capital’s estimations of future cash flows include the combined cash flows of all of the components that comprise the servicer advance investments: existing advances, the requirement to purchase future advances, the recovery of advances and the right to the base fee component of the related MSR. The factors that most significantly impact the fair value include (i) the rate at which the servicer advance balance changes over the term of the investment, (ii) the UPB of the underlying loans with respect to which Rithm Capital has the obligation to make advances and owns the base fee component of the related MSR which, in turn, is driven by prepayment rates and (iii) the percentage of delinquent loans with respect to which Rithm Capital owns the base fee component of the related MSR. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included the assumptions used to establish the aforementioned cash flows and discount rates that market participants would use in determining the fair values of servicer advance investments.

Significant increases (decreases) in the advance balance-to-UPB ratio, prepayment rate, delinquency rate, or discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the delinquency rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the advance balance-to-UPB ratio.

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the ranges and weighted averages of significant inputs used in valuing the servicer advance investments, including the base fee component of the related MSRs:

	Significant Inputs
	Outstanding Servicer Advances to UPB of Underlying Residential Mortgage Loans	Prepayment Rate(A)	Delinquency	Mortgage Servicing Amount(B)	Discount Rate	Collateral Weighted Average Maturity (Years)(C)
March 31, 2025	2.3%	4.7%	19.2%	19.9 bps	6.5%	20.9
December 31, 2024	2.1%	4.6%	19.6%	19.9 bps	6.5%	21.1

(A)Projected annual weighted average lifetime voluntary and involuntary prepayment rate using a prepayment vector.

(B)Mortgage servicing amount is net of 2.7 bps and 3.8 bps which represent the amounts Rithm Capital paid its servicers as a monthly servicing fee as of as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

(C)Weighted average maturity of the underlying residential mortgage loans in the pool.

The valuation of the servicer advance investments also takes into account the performance fee paid to the servicer, which in the case of the buyer is based on its equity returns and therefore is impacted by relevant financing assumptions such as LTV ratio and interest rate as well as advance-to-UPB ratio. All of the assumptions listed have some degree of market observability, based on Rithm Capital’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants, and use of common market data sources. The prepayment rate, the delinquency rate and the advance-to-UPB ratio projections are in the form of “curves” or “vectors” that vary over the expected life of the underlying mortgages and related servicer advances. Rithm Capital uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows for each servicer advance investment, including the base fee component of the related MSR.

When valuing servicer advance investments, Rithm Capital uses the following criteria to determine the significant inputs:

•Servicer advance balance: Servicer advance balance projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the residential mortgage loan pool. The servicer advance balance projection is based on assumptions that reflect factors such as the borrower’s expected delinquency status, the rate at which delinquent borrowers re-perform or become current again, servicer modification offer and acceptance rates, liquidation timelines and the servicers’ stop advance and clawback policies.

•Prepayment Rate: Prepayment rate projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The prepayment vector specifies the percentage of the collateral balance that is expected to prepay voluntarily (i.e. pay off) and involuntarily (i.e. default) at each point in the future. The prepayment vector is based on assumptions that reflect macroeconomic conditions and factors such as the borrower’s FICO score, LTV ratio, debt-to-income ratio and vintage on a loan level basis. Rithm Capital considers collateral-specific prepayment experience when determining this vector.

•Delinquency Rates: For existing mortgage pools, delinquency rates are based on the recent pool-specific experience of loans that missed recent mortgage payment(s) as well as loan- and borrower-specific characteristics such as the borrower’s FICO score, the LTV ratio, debt-to-income ratio, occupancy status, loan documentation, payment history and previous loan modifications. Rithm Capital believes the time period utilized provides a reasonable sample for projecting future delinquency rates while taking into account current market conditions.

•Mortgage Servicing Amount: Mortgage servicing amounts are contractually determined on a pool-by-pool basis. Rithm Capital projects the weighted average mortgage servicing amount based on its projections for prepayment rates.

•SOFR: The performance-based incentive fees on Mr. Cooper-serviced servicer advance investments portfolios are driven by SOFR-based factors. The SOFR curves used are widely used by market participants as reference rates for many financial instruments.

•Discount Rate: The discount rates used by Rithm Capital are derived from market data on pricing of MSRs backed by similar collateral and the advances made thereon.

Real Estate and Other Securities Valuation

Real estate and other securities valuation methodology and results are detailed below. Increased (decreased) prepayment speeds, default rates, or loss severity assumptions would decrease (increase) valuations. Generally, a change in default rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in loss severity assumptions. Treasury securities are valued using market-based prices published by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and are classified as Level 1.

(A)Rithm Capital generally obtains pricing service quotations or broker quotations from two sources. 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 securities, 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 most 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 government-backed securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the market for these securities is 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 securities. 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 independent valuation group, which is separate from its investment acquisition and management group, to reflect market developments and actual performance.

For 76.9% and 82.1% of non-Agency securities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, 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 securities were not readily available.

Residential Mortgage Loans Valuation

Rithm Capital, through Newrez, originates residential mortgage loans that it intends to sell into Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securitizations. Residential mortgage loans HFS, at fair value are typically pooled together and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility, product type, interest rate and credit quality. Newrez also originates non-qualified residential mortgage (“Non-QM”) loans that do not meet the qualified mortgage rules per the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that it intends to sell to private investors. Residential mortgage loans HFS, at fair value are valued using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these prices are derived from market observable inputs, Rithm Capital classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Originated residential mortgage loans HFS for which there is little to no observable trading activity of similar instruments are valued using Level 3 measurements based upon (i) internal pricing models to forecast loan level cash flows using inputs such as default rates, prepayments speeds and discount rates, or (ii) consensus pricing (broker quotes) or historical sale transactions for similar loans.

Residential mortgage loans HFS, at fair value also include nonconforming seasoned mortgage loans acquired and identified for securitization, which are valued using internal pricing models to forecast loan level cash flows based on a potential securitization exit using inputs such as default rates, prepayments speeds and discount rates, and may include adjustments based on consensus pricing (broker quotes). Residential mortgage loans HFI, at fair value include nonconforming seasoned mortgage loans acquired and not identified for sale or securitization, which are valued using internal pricing models to forecast loan level cash flows using inputs such as default rates, prepayments speeds and discount rates, and may include adjustments based on consensus pricing (broker quotes). As the internal pricing models are based on certain unobservable inputs, Rithm Capital classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

For non-performing loans, asset liquidation cash flows are derived based on the estimated time to liquidate the loan, the estimated value of the collateral, expected costs and estimated home price levels. Estimated cash flows for both performing and non-performing loans are discounted at yields considered appropriate to arrive at a reasonable exit price for the asset. Rithm Capital classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Significant increases (decreases) in prepayment rates, delinquency rates, or discount rates, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in default rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in loss severity assumptions.

(A)Loss severity is the expected amount of future realized losses resulting from the ultimate liquidation of a particular loan, expressed as the net amount of realized loss relative to the outstanding loan balance in default.

Residential Transition Loans Valuation

Rithm Capital classifies certain residential transition loans as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Performing residential transition loans are valued using an income approach through internal pricing models to forecast cash flows with inputs such as default rates, prepayments speeds and discount rates, and may include adjustments based on consensus pricing (broker quotes). Non-performing residential transition loans, with UPB of $54.3 million and fair value of $47.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and UPB of $55.2 million and fair value of $49.3 million as of December 31, 2024, were valued using estimated liquidation cash flows, derived based on the estimated value of the collateral and adjusted for estimated recoveries, costs and time to liquidate the assets.

Significant increases (decreases) in default rates, loss severity assumptions, or discount rates, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in default rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in loss severity assumptions.

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the weighted averages of inputs (weighted by fair value) used in valuing performing residential transition loans, at fair value classified as Level 3:

	Fair Value		Discount Rate	Prepayment Rate	CDR	Loss Severity
March 31, 2025	$	2,287,856	8.3% – 9.5% (8.3%)	0.0% – 50.0% (45.9%)	0.5% – 1.8% (0.5%)	25.0%

Derivatives and Hedging Valuation

Rithm Capital enters into economic hedges including interest rate swaps, caps and TBAs, which are categorized as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. Rithm Capital generally values such derivatives using quotations, similarly to the method of valuation used for Rithm Capital’s other assets that are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Treasury short sales represent the

net of repurchase agreements and related reverse repurchase agreement lending facilities used to borrow securities to effectuate short sales of Treasury securities and are classified as Level 1.

Other commitment relates to an agreement entered into by a subsidiary of Rithm Capital with its affiliate requiring a payment under certain circumstances dependent upon amounts realized from an investment of the affiliate. It is valued at the excess of cost basis over the intrinsic value of the underlying investment and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition, Rithm Capital enters into IRLCs, which are valued using internal pricing models (i) incorporating market pricing for instruments with similar characteristics, (ii) estimating the fair value of the servicing rights expected to be recorded at sale of the loan and (iii) adjusting for anticipated loan funding probability. Both the fair value of servicing rights expected to be recorded at the date of sale of the loan and anticipated loan funding probability are significant unobservable inputs and therefore, IRLCs are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the ranges and weighted averages of inputs used in valuing IRLCs:

	Fair Value		Loan Funding Probability	Fair Value of Initial Servicing Rights (bps)
March 31, 2025	$	34,387	0.0% – 100.0% (83.0%)	1.9 – 423.8 (272.8)
December 31, 2024	$	11,294	0.0% – 100.0% (86.1%)	1.0 – 426.7 (281.8)

Asset-Backed Securities Issued

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Rithm Capital was the primary beneficiary of the SCFT 2020-A (as defined in Note 20) securitization, and therefore, Rithm Capital’s consolidated balance sheets include the asset-backed securities issued by the trust in the SCFT 2020-A securitization. Rithm Capital elected the FVO for the securities and valued them consistently with non-Agency securities described above.

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the ranges and weighted averages of inputs used in valuing asset-backed securities issued:

March 31, 2025	$	169,035	5.9%	15.1%	5.1%	92.7%
December 31, 2024	$	185,460	5.4%	14.5%	5.1%	92.3%

Notes Receivable, Notes Receivable Financing and Loans Receivable

From time to time, Rithm Capital purchases notes and loans receivable that are generally collateralized by commercial real estate assets. Rithm Capital generally uses internal discounted cash flow pricing models to estimate the fair value of notes receivable, notes receivable financing and loans receivable. Due to the fact that the fair value of Rithm Capital’s notes receivable, notes receivable financing and loans receivable are based significantly on unobservable inputs, these are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Future cash flows are generally estimated using contractual economic terms as well as significant unobservable inputs, such as the underlying collateral performance. Other significant unobservable inputs include discount rates which estimate the market participants’ required rates of return.

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the fair value and significant inputs used in valuing Rithm Capital’s notes receivable, notes receivable financing and loans receivable:

	Fair Value		Discount Rate

Equity Investments at Fair Value

The Company holds a 70% interest in a limited liability company (the “Credit Risk Transfer LLC”), structured as a credit risk transfer transaction, which directly or indirectly holds and finances exposures to residential mortgage loans through warehouse facilities and repurchase agreements. This equity investment is measured at fair value under the fair value option election. The investment is valued using an internal discounted cash flow pricing model to estimate the fair value of the investment. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the investment was $194.4 million. As the discount rates of 11.3% and 11.8% used to estimate the fair value of the investment as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were significant unobservable inputs, this investment was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Consolidated CFE - Funds

Sculptor’s consolidated structured alternative investment solution, a CFE, holds investments in funds measured at fair value using the NAV per share of the underlying funds, as a practical expedient.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the investments by fund type and ability to redeem such investments:

	March 31, 2025				December 31, 2024
Fund Type(A)	Fair Value		Redemption Frequency	Redemption Notice Period	Fair Value		Redemption Frequency	Redemption Notice Period
Open-ended	$	190,799	Monthly – Annually(B)	30 days – 90 days(B)	$	172,409	Monthly - Annually(B)	30 days - 90 days(B)
Close-ended	165,239		None(C)	N/A	160,697		None(C)	N/A
Total	$	356,038			$	333,106

(A)The structured alternative investment solution invests in both open-ended and close-ended funds. The investments in each fund may represent investments in a particular tranche of such fund subject to different withdrawal rights.

(B)$46.0 million of investments are subject to an initial lock-up period of three years during which time withdrawals or redemptions are limited. Once the lock-up period ends, the investments can be redeemed with the frequency noted above.

(C)100% of these investments cannot be redeemed, as distributions will be received as the underlying assets are liquidated, which is expected to be approximately 7 to 9 years from inception.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the structured alternative investment solution had unfunded commitments of $21.3 million and $23.8 million, respectively, related to the investments presented in the table above, which will be funded by capital within the consolidated funds from its underlying open-ended funds and liquid assets.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, notes payable of the structured alternative investment solution with a fair value of $224.0 million and $224.1 million, respectively, and notes payable of consolidated CLOs with a fair value of $731.4 million and $735.9 million, respectively, are valued using independent pricing services and are classified as Level 3. The Company performs analytical procedures and compares independent pricing service valuations to other vendors’ pricing as applicable. The Company also performs due diligence reviews on independent pricing services on an annual basis and performs other due diligence procedures as may be deemed necessary. The Company measures the financial liabilities of its consolidated structured alternative investment solution based on the fair value of the financial assets of the consolidated entity under the CFE election,

as the Company believes the fair value of the financial assets is more observable. The Company measures the financial assets of its consolidated CLOs based on the fair value of the financial liabilities of its consolidated CLOs. Notes payable of such consolidated CFEs are included in notes payable, at fair value and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gain (loss) from changes in fair value and related interest is included in realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 20 for further details.

Consolidated Loan Securitizations

Rithm Capital has securitized certain residential mortgage loans and residential transition loans which are held as part of consolidated CFEs. A CFE is a VIE that holds financial assets, issues beneficial interests in those assets and has no more than nominal equity, and the beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. GAAP allows entities to elect to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the CFE using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities of the CFE. Rithm Capital has elected the FVO for initial and subsequent recognition of the debt issued by its consolidated securitization trust and has determined that the consolidated securitization trust meets the definition of a CFE. See Note 20 for further details regarding VIEs and securitization trusts. Rithm Capital determined the inputs to the fair value measurement of the financial liabilities of its consolidated CFEs to be more observable than those of the financial assets and, as a result, has used the fair value of the financial liabilities of the consolidated CFE to measure the fair value of the financial assets of the consolidated CFE. Refer to Note 2 for the accounting policies of consolidated entities. The fair value of the debt issued by the consolidated CFE is typically valued using external pricing data, which includes third-party valuations.

The securitized residential mortgage loans and residential transition loans, which are assets of the consolidated CFEs, are included in investments, at fair value and other assets, on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The notes issued by the consolidated CFEs are included in notes payable, at fair value and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized gains (losses) from changes in fair value of the notes issued and assets of the consolidated CFEs and related interest are included in realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The securitized residential mortgage loans and the notes issued by the Company’s CFEs are classified as Level 2.

Residential Mortgage Loans Securitizations	Investments at Fair Value		Notes Payable at Fair Value
March 31, 2025	$	2,703,112	$	2,295,166
December 31, 2024	$	2,791,027	$	2,369,934

Rithm Capital classifies securitized residential transition loans as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the notes payable are valued based significantly on unobservable inputs. The valuation methodology is in line with non-Agency securities described above. The following table summarizes the inputs (weighted by fair value) used in valuing the notes payable:

Residential Transition Loans Securitizations	Investments at Fair Value		Notes Payable at Fair Value		Spread(A)	Prepayment Rate(B)	CDR(C)	Loss Severity(D)
March 31, 2025	$	938,532	$	859,760	1.9% – 11.1% (2.5%)	8.0%	0.8% – 2.0% (1.4%)	10.0%
December 31, 2024	$	962,192	$	859,023	1.7% – 11.7% (2.2%)	8.0%	0.8% – 2.0% (1.3%)	10.0%

(A)Represents the yield in excess of the risk-free rate.

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

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

(D)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 of the loans in default.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. For residential mortgage loans HFS, foreclosed real estate accounted for as REO and SFR properties, Rithm Capital measures the assets at the lower of cost or fair value which may require, from time to time, a nonrecurring fair value adjustment.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were $81.5 million and $87.6 million, respectively, of which, approximately $64.2 million and $66.7 million, respectively, related to residential mortgage loans, HFS, and $17.3 million and $20.9 million, respectively, related to REO. The fair value of Rithm Capital’s residential mortgage loans, HFS is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model analysis using internal pricing models and is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the inputs (weighted by fair value) used in valuing these residential mortgage loans:

	Fair Value		Discount Rate	Weighted Average Life (Years)(A)	Prepayment Rate	CDR(B)	Loss Severity(C)

(C)Loss severity is the expected amount of future realized losses resulting from the ultimate liquidation of a particular loan, expressed as the net amount of realized loss relative to the outstanding loan balance in default.

The fair value of REO is estimated using a broker’s price opinion discounted based upon Rithm Capital’s experience with actual liquidation values and, therefore, is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These discounts to the broker price opinion generally range from 10.0% – 25.0% (weighted average of 22.4%), depending on the information available to the broker.

The total change in the recorded value of residential mortgage loans for which a fair value adjustment has been included in the consolidated statements of operations consists of a reversal of valuation allowance of $0.5 million and a valuation allowance of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The total change in the recorded value of REO for which a fair value adjustment has been included in the consolidated statements of operations consists of a reversal of valuation allowance of $0.3 million and a reversal of valuation allowance of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
