CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the operating performance of our investments, the stability of our earnings, our financing needs and the size and attractiveness of market opportunities. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “overestimate,” “underestimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue” or other similar words or expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions, discuss future expectations, describe future plans and strategies, contain projections of results of operations, cash flows or financial condition or state other forward-looking information. Our ability to predict results or the actual outcome of future plans or strategies is inherently limited. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results.

Our ability to implement our business strategy is subject to numerous risks, as more fully described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. These risks include, among others:

•our ability to successfully operate our business strategies and generate sufficient revenue;

•reductions in the value of, cash flows received from, or liquidity surrounding, our investments, which are based on various assumptions that could differ materially from actual results;

•changes in general economic conditions, in our industry and in the commercial finance and real estate sectors, including the impact on the value of our assets or the performance of our investments;

•risks relating to realizing some or all of the targeted benefits of internalizing our management functions;

•our reliance on and counterparty concentration and default risks in, the servicers and subservicers we engage (“Servicing Partners”) and other third parties;

•the risks related to our origination and servicing operations, including, but not limited to, compliance with applicable laws, regulations and other requirements, significant increases in delinquencies for the loans, compliance with the terms of related servicing agreements, financing related servicer advances and the origination business, expenses related to servicing high risk loans, unrecovered or delayed recovery of servicing advances, foreclosure rates, servicer ratings and termination of government mortgage refinancing programs;

•competition within the finance and real estate sectors;

•interest rate fluctuations and shifts in the yield curve;

•impairments in the value of the collateral underlying our investments and the relation of any such impairments to the value of our securities or loans;

•changes in interest rates and/or credit spreads, as well as the success of any hedging strategy we may undertake in relation to such changes;

•the impact that risks associated with subprime mortgage loans and consumer loans, as well as deficiencies in servicing and foreclosure practices, may have on the value of our mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”), excess mortgage servicing rights (“Excess MSRs”), servicer advance investments, residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), residential mortgage loans and consumer loan portfolios;

•the risks that default and recovery rates on our MSRs, Excess MSRs, servicer advance investments, servicer advance receivables, RMBS, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans deteriorate compared to our underwriting estimates;

•changes in prepayment rates on the loans underlying certain of our assets, including, but not limited to, our MSRs or Excess MSRs, as well as the risk that projected recapture rates on the loan pools underlying our MSRs or Excess MSRs are not achieved;

•servicer advances may not be recoverable or may take longer to recover than we expect, which could cause us to fail to achieve our targeted return on our servicer advance investments or MSRs;

•cybersecurity incidents and technology disruptions or failures;

•our dependence on counterparties and vendors to provide certain services and the related exposure to counterparties that are unwilling or unable to honor contractual obligations, including their obligation to indemnify us, keep our information confidential or repurchase defective mortgage loans;

•the mortgage lending and servicing-related regulations promulgated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), as well as other federal, state and local governmental and regulatory authorities and enforcement of such regulations;

•the impact of seasonal fluctuations on the single-family rental properties sector, relating to decreased rental demand during the off-peak rental seasons;

•significant competition in the leasing market for quality residents, which may limit our ability to lease our single-family rental properties on favorable terms;

•a significant portion of our costs and expenses relating to our single-family rental investments are fixed, including increasing property taxes, HOA fees and insurance costs and we may not be able to adapt our costs structure to offset declines in our revenue;

•our ability to maintain our exclusion from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and limits on our operations from maintaining such exclusion;

•our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT (as defined below) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and limits on our operations from maintaining REIT status;

•potential limitations on our operations if we are required to register as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

•the legislative/regulatory environment, including, but not limited to, the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure, changes in regulatory and accounting rules, U.S. government programs intended to grow the economy, future changes to tax laws, the federal conservatorship of the 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 legislation that permits modification of the terms of residential mortgage loans;

•the risk that actions by the GSEs, Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) or other regulatory initiatives or actions may adversely affect returns from investments in MSRs and Excess MSRs and may lower gain on sale margins;

•risks associated with our indebtedness, including our senior unsecured notes and related restrictive covenants and non-recourse long-term financing structures;

•our ability to obtain and maintain financing arrangements on terms favorable to us or at all, whether prompted by adverse changes in financing markets or otherwise;

•our exposure to risks of loss resulting from adverse weather conditions, man-made or natural disasters, the effect of climate change and pandemics;

•impact from any of our future acquisitions and our ability to successfully integrate the acquired assets and assumed liabilities;

•the impact of current or future legal proceedings and regulatory investigations and inquiries involving us, our Servicing Partners or other business partners;

•adverse market, regulatory or interest rate environments or our issuance of debt or equity, any of which may negatively affect the market price of our common stock;

•our ability to pay distributions on our common stock; and

•dilution experienced by our existing stockholders as a result of the conversion of the preferred stock into shares of common stock or the vesting of performance stock units and restricted stock units.

We also direct readers to other risks and uncertainties referenced in this report, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. We caution that you should not place undue reliance on any of our forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time and it is impossible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are under no obligation (and expressly disclaim any obligation) to update or alter any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that we may make from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Rithm Capital Corp. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Rithm Capital,” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that is primarily focused on managing assets and investments in the real estate and financial services sectors.

Rithm Capital was formed as a limited liability company in September 2011 (commenced operations on December 8, 2011) for the purpose of making real estate related investments. Rithm Capital is an independent publicly traded Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”). Rithm Capital’s investment portfolio is composed of mortgage servicing related assets (full and excess mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) and servicer advances), residential securities (and associated call rights), loans and single family rental properties. Rithm Capital’s investments in operating entities include leading origination and servicing platforms held through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Newrez LLC (“Newrez”) and Caliber Home Loans Inc. (“Caliber,” and together with Newrez, the “Mortgage Company”), and Genesis Capital LLC (“Genesis”), as well as investments in affiliated businesses that provide mortgage related services.

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. For its services, the Former Manager was entitled to management fees and incentive compensation, both defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Management Agreement. On June 17, 2022 Rithm Capital entered into an Internalization Agreement with the Former Manager (the “Internalization Agreement”), pursuant to which the Management Agreement was terminated effective June 17, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), except that certain indemnification and other obligations survive, and the Company internalized its management functions in accordance with the Internalization Agreement (such transactions, the “Internalization”). As a result of the Internalization, Rithm Capital ceased to be externally managed, and following the Internalization, Rithm Capital operates as an internally managed 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). Following the Internalization, the Company no longer pays a management or incentive fee to the Former Manager.

Rithm Capital has elected and intends to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for 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 23, Income Taxes, for additional information regarding Rithm Capital’s taxable REIT subsidiaries.

Rithm Capital, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries New Residential Mortgage LLC (“NRM”) and the Mortgage Company, 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 the GSEs, and in the case of the Mortgage Company, Ginnie Mae. The Mortgage Company is also eligible to perform servicing on behalf of other servicers (subservicing) and investors.

The Mortgage Company sells substantially all of the mortgage loans that it originates into the secondary market. The Mortgage Company securitizes loans into 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 (“USDA”), or Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) (for loans securitized with Ginnie Mae) are sold to private investors and mortgage conduits. The Mortgage Company generally retains the right to service the underlying residential mortgage loans sold and securitized by the Mortgage Company. NRM and the Mortgage Company are required to conduct aspects of their operations in accordance with applicable policies and guidelines.

Additionally, the Company owns the following affiliated businesses which provide mortgage related services to the Mortgage Company: eStreet Appraisal Management, LLC ("eStreet") a provider of appraisal valuation services and Avenue 365 Lender Services, LLC ("Avenue 365") a provider of title insurance and settlement services.

The Company also owns operating companies which support its single-family rental (“SFR”) portfolio and MSR investments.

Genesis is a lender specializing in providing capital to developers of new construction, fix and flip, and rental hold projects across the residential spectrum (including single family, multi-family and production home building.) Genesis supports the

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

Company's single-family rental strategy operated by Adoor LLC ("Adoor"). Adoor is a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on the acquisition and management of SFR properties.

Rithm Capital, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Guardian Asset Management (“Guardian”), provides property preservation and maintenance services for residential properties. Services offered include repairs, bids, inspections, landscaping, janitorial, inspections and HOA and utility payment services.

As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital conducted its business through the following segments: (i) Origination, (ii) Servicing, (iii) MSR Related Investments, (iv) Residential Securities, Properties and Loans, (v) Consumer Loans, (vi) Mortgage Loans Receivable and (vii) Corporate.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Interim Financial Statements — The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP’’ or “U.S. GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of Rithm Capital’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Rithm Capital and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Rithm Capital consolidates those entities in which it has control over significant operating, financing and investing decisions of the entity, as well as those entities deemed to be VIEs in which Rithm Capital is determined to be the primary beneficiary. For entities over which Rithm Capital exercises significant influence, but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation, Rithm Capital uses the equity method of accounting whereby it records its share of the underlying income of such entities. Distributions from equity method investees are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the cumulative earnings approach, where all distributions up to cumulative earnings are classified as distributions of earnings.

Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts in Rithm Capital’s Consolidated Financial Statements and respective notes have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on net income, total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may exceed their current fair values. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In the future, if events or market conditions affect the estimated fair value to the extent that a long-lived asset is impaired, the Company will adjust the carrying value of these long-lived assets in the period in which the impairment occurs.

Risks and Uncertainties — In the normal course of business, Rithm Capital encounters primarily two significant types of economic risk: credit and market. Credit risk is the risk of default on Rithm Capital’s investments that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of investments due to changes in prepayment rates, interest rates, spreads or other market factors, including risks that impact the value of the collateral underlying Rithm Capital’s investments. Taking into consideration these risks along with estimated prepayments, financings, collateral values, payment histories and other information, Rithm Capital believes that the carrying values of its investments are reasonable. Furthermore, for each of the periods presented, a significant portion of Rithm Capital’s assets are dependent on its servicers’ and subservicers’ ability to perform their obligations servicing the residential mortgage loans underlying Rithm Capital’s Excess MSRs, MSRs, MSR financing receivables, servicer advance investments, Non-Agency RMBS and loans. If a servicer is terminated, Rithm Capital’s right to receive its portion of the cash flows related to interests in servicing related assets may also be terminated.

The mortgage and financial sectors are operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies continue to be affected by, among other things, market volatility, rapidly rising interest rates and inflationary pressures. Should macroeconomic conditions continue to worsen, there is no assurance that such conditions will not result in an overall decline in the fair value of many assets, including those in which the Company invests, and potential impairment of the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets. The ultimate duration and impact of the current economic environment remain uncertain.


RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

Rithm Capital is subject to significant tax risks. If Rithm Capital were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, Rithm Capital would be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax), which could be material. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, Rithm Capital would also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard was issued to ease the accounting effects of reform to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other reference rates. The standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to debt, derivatives and other contracts affected by reference rate reform. The standard was effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and was able to be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. Additionally, in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. The standard defers the expiration date of ASC 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. ASU 2022-06 became effective upon issuance. The Company is continuing to assess the impact of the LIBOR transition and does not expect the transition or the adoption of the standard to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s primary exposure to LIBOR includes certain financing arrangements, interest rate swaps and the 7.50% Series A, 7.125% Series B, and 6.375% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Company's financing arrangements either have provisions in place that provide for an alternative to LIBOR upon its phase-out or contain maturities of one year or less and therefore would mature prior to the phase out of LIBOR in June 2023. In addition, the Company has amended terms of certain financing arrangements, where necessary, to transition or direct the transition to an alternative benchmark. Interest rate swaps are expected to experience an orderly market transition prior to the cessation of LIBOR, and the Company has begun transitioning its interest rate swap portfolio away from LIBOR benchmarks. The Company does not currently intend to amend the 7.50% Series A, 7.125% Series B, or 6.375% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to change the existing USD-LIBOR cessation fallback language.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging–Portfolio Layer Method. The standard clarifies the accounting and promotes consistency in reporting for hedges where the portfolio layer method is applied. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The standard clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered in measuring the security’s fair value. The standard also requires certain disclosures for equity securities that are subject to contractual restrictions. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

(B)Carrying value represents fair value. As of March 31, 2023, weighted average discount rates of 8.4% (range of 7.6% – 10.8%) were used to value Rithm Capital’s MSRs and MSR financing receivables.

(C)As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital holds approximately $1.2 billion in residential mortgage loans subject to repurchase and the related residential mortgage loans repurchase liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Residential Mortgage Loans Subject to Repurchase

Rithm Capital, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries as approved issuers of Ginnie Mae MBS, originates and securitizes government-insured residential mortgage loans. As the issuer of the Ginnie Mae-guaranteed securitizations, Rithm Capital has the unilateral right to repurchase loans from the securitizations when they are delinquent for more than 90 days. Loans in forbearance that are three or more consecutive payments delinquent are included as delinquent loans permitted to be repurchased. Under GAAP, Rithm Capital is required to recognize the right to loans on its balance sheet and establish a corresponding liability upon the triggering of the repurchase right regardless of whether the Company intends to repurchase the loans. As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital holds approximately $1.2 billion in residential mortgage loans subject to repurchase and residential mortgage loans repurchase liability on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rithm Capital may re-pool repurchased loans into new Ginnie Mae securitizations upon re-performance of the loan or otherwise sell to third-party investors. The Company does not change the accounting for MSRs related to previously sold loans upon recognizing loans eligible for repurchase. Rather, upon repurchase of a loan, the MSR is written off. As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital holds approximately $0.7 billion of repurchased residential mortgage loans on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Ocwen MSR Financing Receivable Transactions

In July 2017, Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (collectively with certain affiliates, “Ocwen”) and Rithm Capital entered into an agreement in which both parties agreed to undertake certain actions to facilitate the transfer from Ocwen to Rithm Capital of Ocwen’s remaining interests in the MSRs relating to loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $110.0 billion and with respect to which Rithm Capital already held certain rights (“Rights to MSRs”). Ocwen and Rithm Capital concurrently entered into a subservicing agreement pursuant to which Ocwen agreed to subservice the mortgage loans related to the MSRs that were transferred to Rithm Capital.

In January 2018, Ocwen sold and transferred to Rithm Capital certain Rights to MSRs and other assets related to mortgage servicing rights for loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $86.8 billion. PHH (as successor by merger to Ocwen) will continue to service the residential mortgage loans related to the MSRs until any necessary third-party consents to transferring the MSRs are obtained and all other conditions to transferring the MSRs are satisfied.

Of the Rights to MSRs sold and transferred to NRM and Newrez, consents and all other conditions to transfer have been received with respect to approximately $66.7 billion UPB of underlying loans. Although legally sold and entitled to the economics of the transfer, as of March 31, 2023, with respect to MSRs representing approximately $12.1 billion UPB of underlying loans, it was determined for accounting purposes that substantially all of the risks and rewards inherent in owning the MSRs had not been transferred to Newrez and therefore are not treated as a sale under GAAP and are classified as MSR financing receivables.


RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

The table below summarizes the geographic distribution of the underlying residential mortgage loans of the MSRs and MSR financing receivables:


	Percentage of Total Outstanding Unpaid Principal Amount
State Concentration	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
California	17.4	%	17.4	%
Florida	8.6	%	8.6	%

Georgia	3.0	%	2.9	%
Other U.S.	38.1	%	38.2	%
	100.0	%	100.0	%

Geographic concentrations of investments expose Rithm Capital to the risk of economic downturns within the relevant states. Any such downturn in a state where Rithm Capital holds significant investments could affect the underlying borrower’s ability to make mortgage payments and therefore could have a meaningful, negative impact on the MSRs.

Residential Mortgage Loan Subservicing

The Mortgage Company performs servicing of residential mortgage loans for unaffiliated parties under servicing agreements. The servicing agreements do not meet the criteria to be recognized as a servicing right asset and, therefore, are not recognized on Rithm Capital’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The UPB of residential mortgage loans serviced for others as of March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $94.1 billion and $86.2 billion, respectively. Rithm Capital earned servicing revenue of $34.0 million and $32.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to unaffiliated serviced loans which is included within Servicing Revenue, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Rithm Capital engages unaffiliated licensed mortgage servicers as subservicers and, in relation to certain owned MSRs, including to perform the operational servicing duties, including recapture activities in exchange for a subservicing fee which is recorded as Subservicing Expense and reflected as part of General and Administrative expenses in Rithm Capital’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2023, these subservicers include PHH, Mr. Cooper, LoanCare, Valon and Flagstar, which subservice 9.1%, 7.8%, 5.6%, 2.3% and 0.3%, respectively, of the MSRs owned by Rithm Capital. The remaining 74.9% of owned MSRs are serviced by the Mortgage Company (Note 1).

Servicer Advances Receivable

In connection with Rithm Capital’s ownership of MSRs, the Company assumes the obligation to serve as a liquidity provider to initially fund servicer advances on the underlying pool of mortgages (Note 22) it services. These servicer advances are recorded when advanced and are included in Servicer Advances Receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(B)Includes $240.2 million and $261.8 million of servicer advances receivable related to Ginnie Mae MSRs, respectively, recoverable from either the borrower or Ginnie Mae. Expected losses for advances associated with Ginnie Mae loans in the MSR portfolio are considered in the MSR fair valuation through a non-reimbursable advance loss assumption.

(C)Excludes $46.0 million and $19.5 million, respectively, in unamortized advance discount and reserves, net of accruals for advance recoveries. These reserves relate to inactive loans in the foreclosure or liquidation process.

Rithm Capital’s Servicer Advances Receivable related to Non-Agency MSRs generally have the highest reimbursement priority pursuant to the underlying servicing agreements (i.e., “top of the waterfall”) and Rithm Capital is generally entitled to repayment from respective loan or REO liquidation proceeds before any interest or principal is paid on the bonds that were issued by the trust. In the majority of cases, advances in excess of respective loan or REO liquidation proceeds may be recovered from pool-level proceeds. Furthermore, to the extent that advances are not recoverable by Rithm Capital as a result of the subservicer’s failure to comply with applicable requirements in the relevant servicing agreements, Rithm Capital has a contractual right to be reimbursed by the subservicer. For advances on loans that have been liquidated, sold, paid in full or modified, the Company has reserved $83.3 million, or 3.2%, and $65.4 million, or 2.3%, for expected non-recovery of advances as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

6. SERVICER ADVANCE INVESTMENTS

Rithm Capital’s servicer advance investments consist of arrangements to fund existing outstanding servicer advances and the requirement to purchase all future servicer advances made with respect to a specified pool of residential mortgage loans in exchange for the basic fee component of the related MSR. Rithm Capital elected to record its servicer advance investments, including the right to the basic fee component of the related MSRs, at fair value pursuant to the fair value option for financial instruments to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of market factors.

A taxable wholly-owned subsidiary of Rithm Capital is the managing member of Advance Purchaser LLC (the “Advance Purchaser”), a joint venture entity, and owns an approximately 89.3% interest in Advance Purchaser as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Advance Purchaser was established in December 2013 for the purpose of investing in residential mortgage related advances. As of March 31, 2023, the noncontrolling third-party co-investors and Rithm Capital have funded their capital commitments; however, Advance Purchaser may recall $71.5 million and $597.9 million of capital distributed to the third-party co-investors and Rithm Capital, respectively. Neither the third-party co-investors nor Rithm Capital is obligated to fund amounts in excess of their respective capital commitments, regardless of the capital requirements of Advance Purchaser.

16. OPERATING LEASES

Rithm Capital, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, has leases on office space expiring through 2033. Rent expense, net of sublease income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $12.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively. The Company has leases that include renewal options and escalation clauses. The terms of the leases do not impose any financial restrictions or covenants.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are grouped and presented as part of Other Assets and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 13.

17. DERIVATIVES

Rithm Capital enters into economic hedges including interest rate swaps and to-be-announced forward contract positions (“TBAs”) to hedge a portion of its interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate risk is sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors. Rithm Capital’s credit risk with respect to economic hedges is the risk of default on Rithm Capital’s investments that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.


RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

Rithm Capital may at times hold TBAs in order to mitigate Rithm Capital’s interest rate risk on certain specified mortgage-backed securities and MSRs. Amounts or obligations owed by or to Rithm Capital are subject to the right of set-off with the TBA counterparty. As part of executing these trades, Rithm Capital may enter into agreements with its TBA counterparties that govern the transactions for the TBA purchases or sales made, including margin maintenance, payment and transfer, events of default, settlements and various other provisions. Changes in the value of derivatives designed to protect against mortgage-backed securities and MSR fair value fluctuations, or hedging gains and losses, are reflected in the tables below.

As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital also held interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), which represent a commitment to a particular interest rate provided the borrower is able to close the loan within a specified period, and forward loan sale and securities delivery commitments, which represent a commitment to sell specific residential mortgage loans at prices which are fixed as of the forward commitment date. Rithm Capital enters into forward loan sale and securities delivery commitments in order to hedge the exposure related to IRLCs and residential mortgage loans that are not covered by residential mortgage loan sale commitments.

	$	24,171,767	$	11,116,785	$	13,054,982

(A)Although available financing is uncommitted, Rithm Capital’s unused borrowing capacity is available if it has additional eligible collateral to pledge and meets other borrowing conditions as set forth in the applicable agreements, including any applicable advance rate.

Certain of the debt obligations are subject to customary loan covenants and event of default provisions, including event of default provisions triggered by certain specified declines in Rithm Capital’s equity or a failure to maintain a specified tangible net worth, liquidity, or indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio. Additionally, with the expected phase out of LIBOR, the Company expects the calculated rate on certain debt obligations will be changed to another published reference standard before the planned cessation of LIBOR quotations in 2023. However, the Company does not anticipate this change will have a significant effect on the terms and conditions, ability to access credit, or on its financial condition. Rithm Capital was in compliance with all of its debt covenants as of March 31, 2023.

2025 Senior Unsecured Notes

On September 16, 2020, the Company, as borrower, completed a private offering of $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). Interest on the 2025 Senior Notes accrue at the rate of 6.250% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15.

The 2025 Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2025 and the Company may redeem some or all of the 2025 Senior Notes at the Company’s option, at any time from time to time, on or after October 15, 2022 at a price equal to the following fixed redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes to be redeemed):


Year						Price

2023						101.563%
2024 and thereafter						100.000%

Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $544.5 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company incurred fees of approximately $8.3 million in relation to the issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes. These fees were capitalized as debt issuance cost and are grouped and presented as part of Unsecured Senior Notes, Net of Issuance Costs on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized interest expense of $8.5 million. At March 31, 2023, the unamortized debt issuance costs was approximately $4.5 million.

The 2025 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior unsecured guarantees. At the time of issuance, the 2025 Senior Notes were not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries and none of its subsidiaries are required to guarantee the 2025 Senior Notes in the future, except under limited specified circumstances.


RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

The 2025 Senior Notes contain financial covenants and other non-financial covenants, including, among other things, limits on the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries to incur certain indebtedness (subject to various exceptions), requires that the Company maintain total unencumbered assets (as defined in the debt agreement) of not less than 120% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding unsecured debt, and imposes certain requirements in order for the Company to merge or consolidate with or transfer all or substantially all of its assets to another person, in each case subject to certain qualifications set forth in the debt agreement. If the Company were to fail to comply with these covenants, after the expiration of the applicable cure periods, the debt maturity could be accelerated or other remedies could be sought by the lenders. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

In the event of a change of control, each holder of the 2025 Senior Notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of the outstanding balance at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of such repurchase.

19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

U.S. GAAP requires the categorization of fair value measurement into three broad levels which form a hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation.

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), 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.

As of March 31, 2023, securities valuation methodology and results are further detailed as follows:


					Fair Value
Asset Type	Outstanding Face Amount		Amortized Cost Basis		Multiple Quotes(A)		Single Quote(B)		Total		Level
Agency RMBS	$	8,041,143	$	7,878,353	$	8,041,518	$	—	$	8,041,518	2

(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 actually 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 55.5% 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.

Residential Mortgage Loans Valuation

Rithm Capital, through its Mortgage Company, originates residential mortgage loans that it intends to sell into Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae mortgage-backed securitizations. Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale, 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. The Mortgage Company also originates non-qualified mortgage loans that it intends to sell to private investors. Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale, 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 held-for-sale for which there is little to no observable trading activity of similar instruments are valued using Level 3 measurements based upon dealer price quotes or historical sale transactions for similar loans.

Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale, at fair value also includes 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). As the internal pricing model is based on certain unobservable inputs, Rithm Capital classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

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.

Mortgage Loans Receivable Valuation

The estimated fair value approximates carrying value as most loans are variable-rate that reprice frequently and with minimal credit risk and severity risk. Rithm Capital classifies mortgage loans receivable as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Rithm Capital has securitized certain mortgage loans receivable which are held as part of a collateralized financing entity (“CFE”). A CFE is a variable interest entity 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 fair value option (“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 discussion regarding VIEs and securitization trusts. Rithm Capital determined the inputs to the fair value measurement of the financial liabilities of


RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

its CFE 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 CFE to measure the fair value of the financial assets of the CFE. The fair value of the debt issued by the CFE is typically valued using external pricing data, which includes third-party valuations. The securitized mortgage loans receivable, which are assets of the CFE, are included in Mortgage Loans Receivable, at Fair Value, on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt issued by the CFE is included in Secured Notes and Bonds Payable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unrealized gain (loss) from changes in fair value of the debt issued by the CFE is included in Other Income (Loss), Net in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The securitized mortgage loans receivable and the debt issued by the Company’s CFE are both classified as Level 2.

Derivatives 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.

As a part of the mortgage loan origination business, Rithm Capital enters into forward loan sale and securities delivery commitments, which are valued based on observed market pricing for similar instruments and therefore, are classified as Level 2. 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.

Rithm Capital elected the fair value option for these financial instruments and the asset-backed securities issued were valued consistently with Rithm Capital’s Non-Agency RMBS described above.

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 held-for-sale, SFR properties and foreclosed real estate accounted for as REO, Rithm Capital applies the lower of cost or fair value accounting and may be required, from time to time, to record a nonrecurring fair value adjustment. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company re-measures the fair value of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, operating lease ROU assets, intangible assets and goodwill if an impairment or observable price adjustment is recognized in the current period.


RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

At March 31, 2023, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were $100.1 million. The $100.1 million of assets include approximately $88.9 million of residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and $11.2 million of REO. The fair value of Rithm Capital’s residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale 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 used in valuing these residential mortgage loans as of March 31, 2023:

(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 loss relative to the outstanding loan balance.

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% – 25% (weighted average of 21%), depending on the information available to the broker.

The total change in the recorded value of assets for which a fair value adjustment has been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 consisted of a reversal of valuation allowance of $0.9 million for residential mortgage loans and a reversal of valuation allowance of $0.7 million for REO.

20. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In the normal course of business, Rithm Capital enters into transactions with special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which primarily consist of trusts established for a limited purpose. The SPEs have been formed for the purpose of transactions in which the Company transfers assets into an SPE in return for various forms of debt obligations supported by those assets. In these transactions, the Company typically receives cash and/or other interests in the SPE as proceeds for the transferred assets. The Company retains the right to service the transferred receivables. The Company evaluates its interests in each SPE for classification as a variable interest entity (“VIE”).

VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE is required to be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

To assess whether Rithm Capital has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, Rithm Capital considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes identifying (i) the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) which party, if any, has power over those activities. To assess whether Rithm Capital has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, Rithm Capital considers all of its economic interests and applies judgment in determining whether these interests, in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. When an SPE meets the definition of a VIE and the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary, the Company includes the SPE in its consolidated financial statements.

For certain consolidated VIEs, Rithm Capital has elected to account for the assets and liabilities of these entities as collateralized financing entities (“CFE”). A CFE is a variable interest entity that holds financial assets and issues beneficial interests in those assets, and these beneficial interests have contractual recourse only to the related assets of the CFE. Accounting guidance under GAAP for CFEs allows companies to elect to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of a CFE using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets or fair value of the financial liabilities. The


RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

net equity in an entity accounted for under the CFE election effectively represents the fair value of the beneficial interests Rithm Capital owns in the entity.

Consolidated VIEs

Servicer Advances

Rithm Capital, through a taxable wholly-owned subsidiary, is the managing member of Advance Purchaser and owned approximately 89.3% of Advance Purchaser as of March 31, 2023 and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Advance Purchaser as a result of its ability to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities and its ownership of a significant equity investment. See Note 6 for details.

Shelter Joint Ventures

A wholly-owned subsidiary of Newrez, Shelter Mortgage Company LLC (“Shelter”), is a mortgage originator specializing in retail originations. Shelter operates its business through a series of joint ventures (“Shelter JVs”) and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the joint ventures as a result of its ability to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities and its ownership of a significant equity investment.

Residential Mortgage Loans

In May 2021, Newrez issued $750.0 million in notes through a securitization facility (the “2021-1 Securitization Facility”) that bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus a margin. The 2021-1 Securitization Facility is secured by newly originated, first-lien, fixed- and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans eligible for purchase by the GSEs and Ginnie Mae. Through a master repurchase agreement, Newrez sells its originated residential mortgage loans to the 2021-1 Securitization Facility, which then issues notes to third party qualified investors, with Newrez retaining the trust certificate. The loans serve as collateral with the proceeds from the note issuance ultimately financing the originations. The 2021-1 Securitization Facility will terminate on the earlier of (i) the three-year anniversary of the initial closing date, (ii) the Company exercising its right to optional prepayment in full or (iii) a repurchase triggering event. The Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of the 2021-1 Securitization Facility as it has both (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

Caliber Mortgage Participant I, LLC was formed to acquire, receive, participate, hold, release and dispose of participation interests in certain of Caliber’s residential mortgage loans held for sale (“MLHFS PC”). The Caliber Mortgage Participant I, LLC transfers the MLHFS PC in exchange for cash. Caliber is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore, consolidates the SPE. The transferred MLHFS PC is classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Residential Mortgage Loans, Held-for-Sale and the related warehouse credit facility liabilities as part of Secured Financing Agreements. Caliber retains the risks and benefits associated with the assets transferred to the SPEs.

Caliber remains the servicer of the underlying residential mortgage loans and has the power to direct the SPE’s activities. Holders of the term notes issued by the Trust can look only to the assets of the Trust for satisfaction of the debt and have no recourse against Caliber.

Consumer Loan Companies

Rithm Capital has a co-investment in a portfolio of consumer loans held through the Consumer Loan Companies. As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital owns 53.5% of the limited liability company interests in, and consolidates, the Consumer Loan Companies.

On September 25, 2020, certain entities comprising the Consumer Loan Companies, in a private transaction, issued $663.0 million of asset-backed notes (“SCFT 2020-A”) securitized by a portfolio of consumer loans.

The Consumer Loan Companies consolidate certain entities that issued securitized debt collateralized by the consumer loans (the “Consumer Loan SPVs”). The Consumer Loan SPVs are VIEs of which the Consumer Loan Companies are the primary beneficiaries.

Securitized Mortgage Loans Receivable

In March 2022, Rithm Capital formed a securitization facility that issued securitized debt collateralized by mortgage loans receivable (the “2022-RTL1 Securitization”). The 2022-RTL1 Securitization consists of a pool of performing, adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, interest-only, mortgage loans (construction, renovation and bridge), secured by a first lien or a first and second lien on a non-owner occupied mortgaged property with original terms to maturity of up to 36 months , with an aggregate UPB of approximately $349.5 million and an aggregate principal limit of approximately $473.7 million as of March 31, 2023. In addition to pass-through certificates sold to third parties, Rithm Capital acquired all of the residual tranche certificate, which bears no interest, for $20.9 million. Rithm Capital evaluated the purchased residual tranche certificate as a variable interest in the trust and concluded that the residual tranche certificate will absorb a majority of the trust’s expected losses or receive a majority of the trust’s expected residual returns. Rithm Capital also concluded that the securitization’s asset manager, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rithm Capital, has the ability to direct activities that could impact the trust’s economic performance. As a result, Rithm Capital consolidates the trust.

21. EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Equity and Dividends

Rithm Capital’s certificate of incorporation authorizes 2.0 billion shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 100.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.

On August 5, 2022, Rithm Capital entered into a Distribution Agreement to sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ATM Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million, from time to time, through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). No share issuances were made during the three months ended March 31, 2023 under the ATM Program.

In December 2022, Rithm Capital’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of its common stock and $100.0 million of its preferred stock through December 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to one or more plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or by means of one or more tender offers, in each case, as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The share repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock or preferred stock.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company issued warrants (the “2020 Warrants”) in conjunction with the issuance of a term loan, which was fully repaid in the third quarter of 2020, that provided the holders the right to acquire, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, up to 43.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate. The 2020 Warrants were

exercisable in cash or on a cashless basis and were set to expire on May 19, 2023 and were exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time after September 19, 2020 at the following prices (subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments): approximately 24.6 million shares of common stock at $6.11 per share and approximately 18.9 million shares of common stock at $7.94 per share.

On February 21, 2023, warrant holders exercised all remaining and outstanding warrants to purchase up to approximately 25.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, using the market price of the Company’s common stock on February 17, 2023, which was the last trading day preceding the date of exercise of the warrants, resulting in the issuance of approximately 9.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock on February 23, 2023.

Stock-Based Compensation

Rithm Capital’s Nonqualified Stock Option and Incentive Award Plan became effective on May 15, 2013, and was amended and restated as of November 4, 2014 and as of February 16, 2023 (the “Plan”). The Company may grant stock-based compensation to its officers and other employees and non-employee directors for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards for service or performance. Stock-based awards issued under the Plan include time-based and performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“RSU” and “PSU” awards, respectively), and restricted stock awards (“RSA”), and may include other forms of equity-based compensation. RSU and PSU awards are an agreement to issue an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock, plus any equivalent shares for dividends declared on the Company’s common stock, at the time the award vests. RSU awards vest over a specified service period. PSU awards vest over a specified service period subject to achieving long-term performance criteria.

The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and non-employee directors based on their fair value. The Company values RSU awards based on the fair value of its common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over each award’s respective service period. For PSU awards, the Company estimates the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved and recognizes expense only for those awards expected to vest. The Company reevaluates its estimate each reporting period and recognizes a cumulative effect adjustment to expense if estimates change from the prior period. The Company does not estimate forfeiture rates but rather adjusts for forfeitures in the periods in which they occur.

Shares underlying RSU and PSU awards are issued when the awards vest. Statutory tax withholding obligations may be covered via (i) election of a cash payment, (ii) net settlement of the applicable shares of stock underlying the RSUs or PSUs, (iii) a broker assisted sale process or (iv) any such other method approved by Rithm Capital. If applicable, the fair value of shares withheld for tax withholdings is recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company granted RSU awards to employees with a grant date fair value of $11.6 million, which vest ratably over a three-year period. The Company also granted PSU awards to employees which vest at the end of a three-year period provided that specified performance criteria are met. The fair value of the PSU awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as of the grant date was $11.6 million, assuming the target levels of performance are achieved.

The table below summarizes the Company’s awards granted, forfeited or vested under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2023:


	Number of Shares				Grant Date Price
	RSAs (B)	RSUs	PSUs	Total	RSAs		RSUs		PSUs

(B)Does not include cash dividends received in relation to unvested RSAs.


RITHM CAPITAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

The fair value of granted awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant of the awards. Stock-based compensation is recorded within Compensation and benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ending March 31, 2023, total stock-based compensation expenses recorded was $1.4 million. For the three months ending March 31, 2023, there were no performance adjustments for actual performance achieved relative to target, no vested shares and no forfeited shares.

At March 31, 2023, aggregate unrecognized compensation cost for all unvested equity awards was $26.7 million (assuming target levels of performance are achieved), which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

Earnings Per Share

Rithm Capital is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period.

The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Net income	$	89,949	$	689,931
Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries	(1,300)		5,609
Dividends on preferred stock	22,395		22,461
Net income attributable to common stockholders	$	68,854	$	661,861

Basic weighted average shares of common stock outstanding	478,167,178		466,785,584
Dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, common stock purchase warrants, RSUs and PSUs(A)(B)	4,679,733		17,639,482
Diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding	482,846,911		484,425,066

Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders	$	0.14	$	1.42
Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders	$	0.14	$	1.37

(A)Stock options and common stock purchase warrants that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the periods where a loss has been recorded because they would have been anti-dilutive for the period presented. There were no anti-dilutive stock options or common stock purchase warrants for all periods presented.

(B)RSU and PSU awards were included to the extent dilutive and issuable under the relevant performance measures.

22. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation — Rithm Capital is or may become, from time to time, involved in various disputes, litigation and regulatory inquiry and investigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. Given the inherent unpredictability of these types of proceedings, it is possible that future adverse outcomes could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of operations. Rithm Capital is not aware of any unasserted claims that it believes are material and probable of assertion where the risk of loss is expected to be reasonably possible.

Rithm Capital is, from time to time, subject to inquiries by government entities. Rithm Capital currently does not believe any of these inquiries would result in a material adverse effect on Rithm Capital’s business.

Indemnifications — In the normal course of business, Rithm Capital and its subsidiaries enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Rithm Capital’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against Rithm Capital that have not yet occurred. However, based on its experience, Rithm Capital expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

(dollars in tables in thousands, except share and per share data)

Capital Commitments — As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital had outstanding capital commitments related to investments in the following investment types (also refer to Note 5 for MSR investment commitments and to Note 24 for additional capital commitments entered into subsequent to March 31, 2023, if any):

•MSRs and Servicer Advance Investments — Rithm Capital and, in some cases, third-party co-investors agreed to purchase future servicer advances related to certain Non-Agency residential mortgage loans. In addition, Rithm Capital’s subsidiaries, NRM and the Mortgage Company, are generally obligated to fund future servicer advances related to the loans they are obligated to service. The actual amount of future advances purchased will be based on (i) the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans, (ii) the amount of advances recoverable prior to liquidation of the related collateral and (iii) the percentage of the loans with respect to which no additional advance obligations are made. The actual amount of future advances is subject to significant uncertainty. Notes 5 and 6 for discussion on Rithm Capital’s MSRs and servicer advance investments, respectively.

•Mortgage Origination Reserves — The Mortgage Company currently originates, or has in the past originated, conventional, government-insured and nonconforming residential mortgage loans for sale and securitization. The GSEs or Ginnie Mae guarantee conventional and government insured mortgage securitizations and mortgage investors issue nonconforming private label mortgage securitizations while the Mortgage Company generally retains the right to service the underlying residential mortgage loans. In connection with the transfer of loans to the GSEs or mortgage investors, the Mortgage Company makes representations and warranties regarding certain attributes of the loans and, subsequent to the sale, if it is determined that a sold loan is in breach of these representations and warranties, the Mortgage Company generally has an obligation to cure the breach. If the Mortgage Company is unable to cure the breach, the purchaser may require the Mortgage Company, as applicable, to repurchase the loan.

In addition, as issuers of Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations, the Mortgage Company holds the right to repurchase loans that are at least 90 days’ delinquent from the securitizations at their discretion. Loans in forbearance that are three or more consecutive payments delinquent are included as delinquent loans permitted to be repurchased. While the Mortgage Company is not obligated to repurchase the delinquent loans, the Mortgage Company generally exercises its respective option to repurchase loans that will result in an economic benefit. As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital’s estimated liability associated with representations and warranties and Ginnie Mae repurchases was $53.9 million and $1.2 billion, respectively. See Note 5 for information on regarding the right to repurchase delinquent loans from Ginnie Mae securities and mortgage origination.

•Residential Mortgage Loans — As part of its investment in residential mortgage loans, Rithm Capital may be required to outlay capital. These capital outflows primarily consist of advance escrow and tax payments, residential maintenance and property disposition fees. The actual amount of these outflows is subject to significant uncertainty. See Note 8 for information regarding Rithm Capital’s residential mortgage loans.

•Consumer Loans — The Consumer Loan Companies have invested in loans with an aggregate of $204.9 million of unfunded and available revolving credit privileges as of March 31, 2023. However, under the terms of these loans, requests for draws may be denied and unfunded availability may be terminated at Rithm Capital’s discretion.

•Mortgage Loans Receivable — Genesis had commitments to fund up to $682.4 million of additional advances on existing mortgage loans as of March 31, 2023. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the customer and other terms regarding advances that must be met before Genesis funds the commitment.

Non-Recourse Carve-Out, Construction Completion and Carry Guarantees – In connection with an investment in a commercial real estate development project, Rithm Capital provided certain limited guarantees to the senior lender on the project related to non-recourse carve outs, completion and carry costs of the project. The actual amount that could be called under the guarantees is subject to significant uncertainty.

Environmental Costs — As an investor in and owner of commercial and residential real estate, Rithm Capital is subject to potential environmental costs. At March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital is not aware of any environmental concerns that would have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Debt Covenants — Certain of the Company’s debt obligations are subject to loan covenants and event of default provisions, including event of default provisions triggered by certain specified declines in Rithm Capital’s equity or a failure to maintain a specified tangible net worth, liquidity, or indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio. Refer to Note 18.

Total income tax expense (benefit)	$	(16,806)	$	202,789

Rithm Capital intends to qualify as a REIT for each of its tax years through December 31, 2023. A REIT is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of its 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.

Rithm Capital operates various business segments, including servicing, origination and MSR related investments, through taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) that are subject to regular corporate income taxes, which have been provided for in the provision for income taxes, as applicable. Refer to Note 3 for further details.

As of March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital recorded a net deferred tax liability of $695.0 million, primarily composed of deferred tax liabilities generated through the deferral of gains from residential mortgage loans sold by the origination business and changes in fair value of MSRs, loans and swaps held within taxable entities.

MARKET CONSIDERATIONS

Summary

Economic data and indicators regarding the overall financial health and condition of the U.S. for the first quarter of 2023 were mixed. Economic growth slowed with the preliminary U.S. real gross domestic product (“GDP”) increasing at an annual rate of 1.1% in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the increase of 2.6% in the fourth quarter of 2022. Labor market conditions continued to remain tight as employment remained steady during the first quarter of 2023 and the total unemployment rate

remained at a near 50-year low. In addition, various factors such as the lingering effect of fiscal stimulus, the war in Ukraine and decreased energy prices have led to a stable yet still high inflation rate. In response to the continued high inflation rate, the Federal Reserve has continued to increase rates. With respect to the housing market, the environment remains steady as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, with mortgage rates stabilizing and the annual rate of increase in home prices slowing.

Banking Institutions

In March 2023, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). This caused uncertainty for businesses that used these banks and resulted in significant general market disruption. Further, it raised concerns about the stability of the banking system in the United States, particularly relating to regional banks. In May 2023, First Republic Bank was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and sold by the FDIC to JPMorgan Chase. This further instability in the banking sector caused additional uncertainty and general market disruption. If the regulatory capital requirements imposed on banking institutions change as a result of the recent banking sector instability, our lenders may be required to significantly increase the cost and eligibility requirements of the financing that they provide to us.

Inflation

Over the last quarter, the inflation rate showed signs of moderation. While still relatively high, the inflation rate increase appears to have subsided largely due to the recent decline in energy prices. In February 2023, the Federal Reserve increased the target for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points and indicated that at least one additional rate increase is likely in the future. Rising interest rates could result in increased interest expense on our outstanding variable rate debt and future variable and fixed rate debt, thereby adversely affecting cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness and pay distributions. In addition, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment or economic downturn, loan and collateral defaults could increase and result in credit losses that could adversely affect our liquidity and operating results.

Labor Markets

The unemployment rate remains near 50-year lows. As of March 31, 2023, the unemployment rate remained steady as compared to prior periods, at 3.5%. Labor market tightness has drawn more people into the workforce, resulting in an increased labor force participation rate. Further, the annual wage growth has slowed as compared to the increases seen in prior years.

Housing Market

The housing market remained relatively stalled during the first quarter of 2023. Home buyers are facing a mixed reality in today’s housing market. While housing prices continue to make home ownership a financial stretch for potential home buyers and the inventory of homes for sale remain low, there have been recent improvements in home affordability as the market has seen a slow-down in the annual rate of increase in home prices in response to the increase in interest rates. At the same time, mortgage rates have started to stabilize, showing a small change in 30-year fixed mortgage rates from 6.4% in the fourth quarter of 2022 to 6.3% in the first quarter of 2023 following a year of increases. Moreover, homeowners appear reluctant to change residence and give up the low interest rates obtained when they bought or refinanced their residence. Additionally, the single-family delinquency rate continued to decrease, while the multifamily delinquency rate has remained relatively steady.

The market conditions discussed above influence our investment strategy and results, many of which have been impacted by the rise in interest rates, decline in GDP growth rate and gradual slowdown of the economy.

10-year U.S. Treasury rate	3.5	%	3.9	%	3.8	%	3.0	%	2.3	%
30-year fixed mortgage rate	6.3	%	6.4	%	6.7	%	5.7	%	4.7	%

We believe the estimates and assumptions underlying our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2023; however, uncertainty related to market volatility, banking sector instability and inflationary pressures makes any estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 2023 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current economic environment and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates. Market volatility and inflationary pressures, and the war in Ukraine and their impact on the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and ability to pay distributions.

CHANGES TO LIBOR

LIBOR is used extensively in the U.S. and globally as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for various commercial and financial contracts, including corporate and municipal bonds and loans, floating rate mortgages, asset-backed securities, consumer loans and interest rate swaps and other derivatives. It had been expected that a number of private-sector banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR would stop doing so after 2021 when their current reporting commitment ends, which would either cause LIBOR to stop publication immediately or cause LIBOR’s regulator to determine that its quality has degraded to the degree that it is no longer representative of its underlying market. On March 5, 2021, Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (“ICE”) announced that ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, intends to stop publication of the majority of USD-LIBOR tenors (overnight, 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month) on June 30, 2023. On January 1, 2022, ICE discontinued the publication of the 1-week and 2-month tenors of USD-LIBOR. In the U.S., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has identified the SOFR as its preferred alternative rate for U.S. dollar-based LIBOR. SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase transactions. However, some market participants are still evaluating what convention of SOFR will be adopted for various types of financial instruments and securitization vehicles. For example, the mortgage and derivatives markets have adopted the daily compounded and paid in arrears SOFR convention. In contrast, GSEs, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, have begun issuing adjustable rate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities indexed to the 30-, 90- and 180-day Average SOFR rates published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as well as term SOFR rates in the future.

We have material contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBOR and are monitoring this activity, evaluating the related risks and our exposure and adding alternative language to contracts, where necessary. Certain contracts, such as interest rate swaps, have an orderly market transition already in process. However, it is not possible to predict the effect of any of these developments, and any future initiatives to regulate, reform or change the manner of administration of LIBOR could result in adverse consequences to the rate of interest payable and receivable on, market value of and market liquidity for LIBOR-based financial instruments. We do not currently intend to amend our 7.50% Series A, 7.125% Series B, or 6.375% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to change the existing USD-LIBOR cessation fallback language.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued accounting guidance that provides optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions impacted by LIBOR transition if certain criteria are met. The guidance

can be applied as of January 1, 2020. In preparation for the phase-out of LIBOR, the Company has adopted and implemented the SOFR index for its Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae adjustable-rate mortgages. For debt facilities that do not mature prior to the phase-out of LIBOR, the Company adopted the allowable contract modification relief optional expedient and has begun amending terms to transition to an alternative benchmark.

Operating Investments

Origination

Our origination business operates within our Mortgage Company. We have a multi-channel lending platform, offering purchase and refinance loan products. We originate loans through our Retail channel, provide refinance opportunities to eligible existing servicing customers through our Direct to Consumer channel, and purchase originated loans through our Wholesale and Correspondent channels. We originate or purchase residential mortgage loans conforming to the underwriting standards of the GSEs, government-insured residential mortgage loans which are insured by the FHA, VA and USDA, and Non-Agency and non-QM loans, through our SMART Loan Series. Our non-QM loan products provide a variety of options for highly qualified borrowers who fall outside the specific requirements of Agency residential mortgage loans.

We generate revenue through sales of residential mortgage loans, including, but not limited to, gain on residential loans originated and sold and the value of MSRs retained on transfer of the loans. Profit margins per loan vary by channel, with correspondent typically being the lowest and DTC being the highest. We sell conforming loans to the GSEs and Ginnie Mae and securitize Non-QM residential loans. We utilize warehouse financing to fund loans at origination through the sale date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, funded loan origination volume was $7.0 billion, down from $7.9 billion in the prior quarter. Gain on sale margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 1.61%, 20 bps lower than the 1.81% for the prior quarter, primarily due to channel mix (refer to the tables below).

Included in our Origination segment are the financial results of two services businesses, eStreet and Avenue 365. eStreet offers appraisal valuation services, and Avenue 365 provides title insurance and settlement services to our Mortgage Company.

The tables below provide selected operating statistics for our Origination segment:

(B)Includes loan origination fees of $68.9 million and $69.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

(C)Excludes $3.6 million and $9.4 million of gain on originated residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale, net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, related to the MSR Related Investments, Servicing and Residential Mortgage Loans segments, as well as intercompany eliminations (Note 8).

(D)Excludes mortgage servicing rights revenue on recaptured loan volume delivered back to NRM.

Total Gain on Originated Residential Mortgage Loans, Held-for-Sale, Net decreased $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to lower loan production related to the rise in interest rates during the quarter as noted above. Additionally, purchase originations comprised 84% of all funded loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 85% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The lower percentage of refinance originations comparing to historical was primarily driven by the high 30-year conventional mortgage rate, resulting in a reduction in refinance volume compared to the high number of loans that had been previously refinanced during the preceding historically low interest rate environment.

Servicing

Our servicing business operates through our performing and special servicing divisions (“SMS”). The performing loan servicing division services performing Agency and government-insured loans. SMS services delinquent government-insured, Agency and Non-Agency loans on behalf of the owners of the underlying mortgage loans. We are highly experienced in loan servicing, including loan modifications, and seek to help borrowers avoid foreclosure. As of March 31, 2023, the performing

loan servicing division serviced $392.6 billion UPB of loans and SMS serviced $111.4 billion UPB of loans, for a total servicing portfolio of $504.0 billion UPB, relatively flat compared to December 31, 2022. The slight increase was attributable to loan production partially offset by scheduled and voluntary prepayment loan activity.

The table below provides the mix of our serviced assets portfolio between subserviced performing servicing (labeled as “Performing Servicing”) and subserviced non-performing, or special servicing (labeled as “Special Servicing”). The Mortgage Company subservices on behalf of Rithm Capital or its subsidiaries and for third parties for the periods presented.

MSR Related Investments

MSRs and MSR Financing Receivables

Our MSR related investments include MSRs, MSR finance receivables and Excess MSRs. An MSR provides a mortgage servicer with the right to service a pool of residential mortgage loans in exchange for a portion of the interest payments made on the underlying residential mortgage loans, plus ancillary income and custodial interest. An MSR is made up of two components: a basic fee and an excess MSR. The basic fee is the amount of compensation for the performance of servicing duties (including advance obligations), and the Excess MSR is the amount that exceeds the basic fee.

We finance our investments in MSRs and MSR financing receivables with short- and medium-term bank and public capital markets notes. These borrowings are primarily recourse debt and bear both fixed and variable interest rates offered by the counterparty for the term of the notes of a specified margin over LIBOR or SOFR. The capital markets notes are typically issued with a collateral coverage percentage, which is a quotient expressed as a percentage equal to the aggregate note amount divided by the market value of the underlying collateral. The market value of the underlying collateral is generally updated on a quarterly basis and if the collateral coverage percentage becomes greater than or equal to a collateral trigger, generally 90%, we may be required to add funds, pay down principal on the notes, or add additional collateral to bring the collateral coverage percentage below 90%. The difference between the collateral coverage percentage and the collateral trigger is referred to as a “margin holiday.”

See Note 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding financing of our MSRs and MSR financing receivables.

We have contracted with certain subservicers to perform the related servicing duties on the residential mortgage loans underlying our MSRs. As of March 31, 2023, these subservicers include PHH, Mr. Cooper, LoanCare, Valon and Flagstar, which subservice 9.1%, 7.8%, 5.6%, 2.3% and 0.3% of the underlying UPB of the related mortgages, respectively (includes both MSRs and MSR financing receivables). The remaining 74.9% of the underlying UPB of the related mortgages is serviced by our Mortgage Company.

We are generally obligated to fund all future servicer advances related to the underlying pools of residential mortgage loans on our MSRs and MSR financing receivables. Generally, we will advance funds when the borrower fails to meet, including forbearances, contractual payments (e.g. principal, interest, property taxes, insurance). We will also advance funds to maintain and report foreclosed real estate properties on behalf of investors. Advances are recovered through claims to the related investor. Pursuant to our servicing agreements, we are obligated to make certain advances on residential mortgage loans to be in compliance with applicable requirements. In certain instances, the subservicer is required to reimburse us for any advances that were deemed nonrecoverable or advances that were not made in accordance with the related servicing contract.

We finance our servicer advances with short- and medium-term collateralized borrowings. These borrowings are non-recourse committed facilities that are not subject to margin calls and bear both fixed and variable interest rates offered by the counterparty for the term of the notes, generally less than one year, of a specified margin over LIBOR or SOFR. See Note 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding financing of our servicer advances.

Servicer Advance Investments

Servicer advances are a customary feature of residential mortgage securitization transactions and represent one of the duties for

which a servicer is compensated. Servicer advances are generally reimbursable payments made by a servicer (i) when the borrower fails to make scheduled payments due on a residential mortgage loan or (ii) to support the value of the collateral property. Servicer advance investments are associated with specified pools of residential mortgage loans in which we have contractually assumed the servicing advance obligation and include the related outstanding servicer advances, the requirement to purchase future servicer advances and the rights to the basic fee component of the related

MSR.

The following is a summary of our servicer advance investments, including the right to the basic fee component of the related MSRs (dollars in thousands):

(A)The Agency RMBS portfolio consists of 100.0% fixed rate securities (based on amortized cost basis). See table above for details on rate resets of the floating rate securities.

We largely employ our Agency RMBS position as a hedge to our MSR portfolio. Our Agency RMBS portfolio was $8.0 billion as of March 31, 2023. We finance our investments in Agency RMBS with short-term borrowings under master uncommitted repurchase agreements. These borrowings generally bear interest rates offered by the counterparty for the term of the proposed repurchase transaction (e.g., 30 days, 60 days, etc.) of a specified margin over one-month LIBOR. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company pledged Agency RMBS with a carrying value of approximately $8.0 billion and $7.1 billion, respectively, as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements. We expect to continue to finance our acquisitions of Agency RMBS with repurchase agreement financing. See Note 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding financing of our Agency RMBS.

Non-Agency RMBS

Within our Non-Agency RMBS portfolio, we retain and own risk retention bonds from our securitizations in conjunction with risk retention regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act. As of March 31, 2023, 57.4% of our Non-Agency RMBS portfolio was related to bonds retained pursuant to required risk retention regulations.

The following table summarizes our Non-Agency RMBS portfolio as of March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Net Interest Spread(A)
Weighted average asset yield	6.80	%
Weighted average funding cost	6.83	%
Net interest spread	(0.03)	%

(A)The Non-Agency RMBS portfolio consists of 35.3% floating rate securities and 64.7% fixed rate securities (based on amortized cost basis).

We finance our investments in Non-Agency RMBS with short-term borrowings under master uncommitted repurchase agreements. These borrowings generally bear interest rates offered by the counterparty for the term of the proposed repurchase transaction (e.g., 30 days, 60 days, etc.) of a specified margin over one-month LIBOR. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company pledged Non-Agency RMBS with a carrying value of approximately $923.7 million and $946.2 million, respectively, as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements. A portion of collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements is subject to daily mark-to-market fluctuations and margin calls. The remaining collateral is not subject to daily margin calls unless the collateral coverage percentage, a quotient expressed as a percentage equal to the current carrying value of outstanding debt divided by the market value of the underlying collateral, becomes greater than or equal to a collateral trigger. The difference between the collateral coverage percentage and the collateral trigger is referred to as a “margin holiday.” See Note 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding financing of our Non-Agency RMBS.

Call Rights

We hold a limited right to cleanup call options with respect to certain securitization trusts (including securitizations we have issued) whereby, when the UPB of the underlying residential mortgage loans falls below a pre-determined threshold, we can effectively purchase the underlying residential mortgage loans at par, plus unreimbursed servicer advances, resulting in the repayment of all of the outstanding securitization financing at par, in exchange for a fee of 0.75% of UPB paid to servicer (if applicable) at the time of exercise. The aggregate UPB of the underlying residential mortgage loans within these various securitization trusts is approximately $76.0 billion. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Rithm Capital executed no calls.

We continue to evaluate the call rights we acquired from each of our servicers, and our ability to exercise such rights and realize the benefits therefrom are subject to a number of risks. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Our ability to exercise our cleanup call rights may be limited or delayed if a third party contests our ability to exercise our cleanup call rights, if the related securitization trustee refuses to permit the exercise of such rights, or if a related party is subject to bankruptcy proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The actual UPB of the residential mortgage loans on which we can successfully exercise call rights and realize the benefits therefrom may differ materially from our initial assumptions.

Residential Mortgage Loans

We have accumulated our residential mortgage loan portfolio through various bulk acquisitions and the execution of call rights. Additionally, through our Mortgage Company, we originate residential mortgage loans for sale and securitization to third parties and we generally retain the servicing rights on the underlying loans.

Loans are accounted for based on our strategy for the loan and on whether the loan was performing or non-performing at the date of acquisition. Acquired performing loans means that at the time of acquisition it is likely the borrower will continue making payments in accordance with contractual terms. Purchased non-performing loans means that at the time of acquisition the borrower will not likely make payments in accordance with contractual terms (i.e., credit-impaired). We account for loans based on the following categories:

•Loans held-for-investment, at fair value

•Loans held-for-sale, at lower of cost or fair value

•Loans held-for-sale, at fair value

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $3.4 billion outstanding face amount of residential mortgage loans (see below). These investments were financed with secured financing agreements with an aggregate face amount of approximately $2.3 billion and secured notes and bonds payable with an aggregate face amount of approximately $0.7 billion. We acquired these loans through open market purchases, through loan origination, as well as through the exercise of call rights and acquisitions.

The following table presents the total residential mortgage loans outstanding by loan type at March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands).


	Outstanding Face Amount		Carrying Value		Loan Count	Weighted Average Yield		Weighted Average Life (Years)(A)

(B)Residential mortgage loans, held-for-investment, at fair value is grouped and presented as part of Residential Loans and Variable Interest Entity Consumer Loans, Held-for-Investment, at Fair Value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(C)Performing loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is 90 days or more past due.

(D)As of March 31, 2023, we have placed all Non-Performing Loans, held-for-sale on nonaccrual status, except as described in (E) below.

(E)Includes $433.2 million and $240.3 million UPB of Ginnie Mae EBO performing and non-performing loans, respectively, on accrual status as contractual cash flows are guaranteed by the FHA.

We consider the delinquency status, loan-to-value ratios and geographic area of residential mortgage loans as our credit quality indicators.

We finance a significant portion of our investments in residential mortgage loans with borrowings under repurchase agreements. These recourse borrowings bear variable interest rates offered by the counterparty for the term of the proposed repurchase transaction, generally less than one year, of a specified margin over the one-month LIBOR or SOFR. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company pledged residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of approximately $2.7 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements. A portion of collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements is subject to daily mark-to-market fluctuations and margin calls. A portion of collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements is not subject to daily margin calls unless the collateral coverage percentage, a quotient expressed as a percentage equal to the current carrying value of outstanding debt divided by the market value of the underlying collateral, becomes greater than or equal to a collateral trigger. The difference between the collateral

coverage percentage and the collateral trigger is referred to as a “margin holiday.” See Note 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding financing of our residential mortgage loans.

Single-Family Rental Portfolio

We continue to invest in our SFR portfolio and strive to become a leader in the SFR sector by acquiring and maintaining a geographically diversified portfolio of high-quality single family homes. As of March 31, 2023, our SFR portfolio consisted of approximately 3,731 properties with an aggregate carrying value of $969.0 million, unchanged from year-end

Our ability to identify and acquire properties that meet our investment criteria is impacted by property prices in our target markets, the inventory of properties available, competition for our target assets and our available capital. Properties added to our portfolio through traditional acquisition channels require expenditures in addition to payment of the purchase price, including property inspections, closing costs, liens, title insurance, transfer taxes, recording fees, broker commissions, property taxes and homeowners’ association (“HOA”) fees, when applicable. In addition, we typically incur costs to renovate a property acquired through traditional acquisition channels to prepare it for rental. Renovation work varies, but may include paint, flooring, cabinetry, appliances, plumbing hardware and other items required to prepare the property for rental. The time and cost involved to prepare our properties for rental can impact our financial performance and varies among properties based on several factors, including the source of acquisition channel and age and condition of the property. Our operating results are also impacted by the amount of time it takes to market and lease a property, which can vary greatly among properties, and is impacted by local demand, our marketing techniques and the size of our available inventory.

Our revenues are derived primarily from rents collected from tenants for our SFR properties under lease agreements which typically have a term of one to two years. Our rental rates and occupancy levels are affected by macroeconomic factors and local and property-level factors, including market conditions, seasonality and tenant defaults, and the amount of time it takes to turn properties when tenants vacate.

Once a property is available for its initial lease, we incur ongoing property-related expenses, which consist primarily of property taxes, insurance, HOA fees (when applicable), utility expenses, repairs and maintenance, leasing costs, marketing expenses and property administration. All of our SFR properties are managed through an external property manager. Prior to a property being rentable, certain of these expenses are capitalized as building and improvements. Once a property is rentable, expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance thereafter are expensed as incurred, and we capitalize expenditures that improve or extend the life of a property.

The following table summarizes certain key SFR property metrics as of March 31, 2023 (dollars in thousands):

We primarily rely on the use of credit facilities, term loans and mortgage-backed securitizations to finance purchases of SFR properties. See Note 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding financing of our SFR properties.

Mortgage Loans Receivable

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary Genesis, we specialize in originating and managing a portfolio of primarily short-term mortgage loans to fund single-family and multi-family real estate developers with construction, renovation and bridge loans.

Construction — Loans provided for ground-up construction, including mid-construction refinancing of ground-up construction and the acquisition of such properties.

Renovation — Acquisition or refinance loans for properties requiring renovation, excluding ground-up construction.

Bridge — Loans for initial purchase, refinance of completed projects, or rental properties.

We currently finance construction, renovation and bridge loans using a warehouse credit facility and revolving securitization structures.

Properties securing our loans are typically secured by a mortgage or a first deed of trust lien on real estate. Depending on loan type, the size of each loan committed is based on a maximum loan value in accordance with our lending policy. For construction and renovation loans, we generally use loan-to-cost (“LTC”) or loan-to-after-repair-value (“LTARV”) ratio. For bridge loans, we use a loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio. LTC and LTARV are measured by the total commitment amount of the loan at origination divided by the total estimated cost of a project or value of a property after renovations and improvements to a property. LTV is measured by the total commitment amount of the loan at origination divided by the “as-complete” appraisal.

At the time of origination, the difference between the initial outstanding principal and the total commitment is the amount held back for future release subject to property inspections, progress reports and other conditions in accordance with the loan documents. Loan ratios described above do not reflect interim activity such as construction draws or interest payments capitalized to loans, or partial repayments of the loan.

Each loan is typically backed by a corporate or personal guarantee to provide further credit support for the loan. The guarantee may be collaterally secured by a pledge of the guarantor’s interest in the borrower or other real estate or assets owned by the guarantor.

Loan commitments at origination are typically interest only and bear a variable interest rate tied to either LIBOR or the SOFR plus a spread ranging from 3.9% to 11.3%, and have initial terms typically ranging from 6 to 120 months in duration based on the size of the project and expected timeline for completion of construction, which we often elect to extend for several months based on our evaluation of the project. As of March 31, 2023, the average commitment size of our loans was $2.0 million million and the weighted average remaining term to contractual maturity of our loans was 8.7 months.

We typically receive loan origination fees, or “points” of up to 2.3% of the total commitment at origination which varies in amount based upon the term of the loan and the quality of the borrower and the underlying collateral. In addition, we charge fees on past due receivables and receive reimbursements from borrowers for costs associated with services provided by us, such as closing costs, collection costs on defaulted loans and inspection fees. In addition to origination fees, we earn loan extension fees when maturing loans are renewed or extended and amendment fees when loan terms are modified, such as increases in interest reserves and construction holdbacks in line with our underwriting criteria or upon modification of a loan. Loans are generally only renewed or extended if the loan is not in default and satisfies our underwriting criteria, including our maximum LTV ratios of the appraised value as determined at the time of loan origination or based on an updated appraisal, if required. Loan origination and renewal fees are deferred and recognized in income over the contractual maturity of the underlying loan.

Typical borrowers include real estate investors and developers. Loan proceeds are used to fund the construction, development, investment, land acquisition and refinancing of residential properties and to a lesser extent mixed-use properties. We also make loans to fund the renovation and rehabilitation of residential properties. Our loans are generally structured with partial funding at closing and additional loan installments disbursed to the borrower upon satisfactory completion of previously agreed stages of construction.

A principal source of new loans has been repeat business from our customers and their referral of new business. Our retention originations typically have lower customer acquisition costs than originations to new customers, positively impacting our profit margins.

As of March 31, 2023, we have loans in 30 states with the plurality of loans located in California.

TAXES

We have elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a REIT we generally pay no federal or state and local income tax on assets that qualify under the REIT requirements if we distribute out at least 90% of the current taxable income generated from these assets.

We hold certain assets, including servicer advance investments and MSRs, in TRSs that are subject to federal, state and local income tax because these assets either do not qualify under the REIT requirements or the status of these assets is uncertain. We also operate our securitization program, servicing, origination and services businesses through TRSs.

At March 31, 2023, we recorded a net deferred tax liability of $695.0 million, primarily composed of deferred tax liabilities generated through the deferral of gains from loans sold by our origination business with servicing retained by us and deferred tax liabilities generated from changes in fair value of MSRs, loans and swaps held within taxable entities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized deferred tax benefit of $16.8 million, primarily reflecting deferred tax benefit generated from changes in the fair value of MSRs, loans and swaps held within taxable entities, offset partially by income in our servicing and origination business segments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We believe that the estimates and assumptions utilized in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results historically have generally been in line with our estimates and judgments used in applying each of the accounting policies described below, as modified periodically to reflect current market conditions.

Our critical accounting policies as of March 31, 2023, which represent our accounting policies that are most affected by judgments, estimates and assumptions, included all of the critical accounting policies referred to in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

The mortgage and financial sectors are operating in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies continue to be affected by, among other things, market volatility, rapidly rising interest rates and inflationary pressures. We believe the estimates and assumptions underlying our Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2023; however, uncertainty over the current macroeconomic conditions, and the impact that the war in Ukraine will have on the global economy generally, and our business in particular,

makes any estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 2023 inherently less certain than they would be absent the current economic environment and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates. Market volatility and inflationary pressures and the war in Ukraine and their impact on the current financial, economic and capital markets environment, and future developments in these and other areas present uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and ability to pay distributions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Factors Impacting Comparability of Our Results of Operations

Our net income is primarily generated from net interest income, servicing fee revenue less cost and gain on sale of loans less cost to originate. Changes in various factors such as market interest rates, prepayment speeds, estimated future cash flows, servicing costs and credit quality could affect the amount of basis premium to be amortized or discount to be accreted into interest income for a given period. Prepayment speeds vary according to the type of investment, conditions in the financial markets, competition and other factors, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. Our operating results may also be affected by credit losses in excess of initial estimates or unanticipated credit events experienced by borrowers whose mortgage loans underlie the MSRs, mortgage loans receivable, or the non-Agency RMBS held in our investment portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, interest rates remained elevated. Higher interest rates can decrease a borrower’s ability or willingness to enter into mortgage transactions, including residential, business purpose and commercial loans. Higher interest rates also increase our financing costs.

Special Servicing	111,424		110,264		1,160
Total Servicing Portfolio	$	504,048	$	503,563	$	485

Servicing revenue, net increased $36.6 million, primarily due to a $16.7 million net decrease in negative mark-to-market adjustments on our MSR portfolio, driven by slower prepayment speeds, improved delinquency rates quarter-over-quarter and a $16.9 million increase in servicing revenue and fees. The increase in servicing revenue and fees is due to a decrease in delinquent loans during the quarter. Weighted average servicing revenues and fees were approximately 32 bps and 31 bps for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Interest Income

Interest income decreased $18.9 million quarter over quarter. The quarter over quarter decrease is primarily driven by a positive interest income adjustment recorded on our servicer advance investment related to updated yields on the asset during the fourth quarter of 2022, partially offset by net purchases of higher coupon Agency securities and float income earned on custodial accounts associated with our MSRs during the first quarter of 2023.

Correspondent	3,988		3,666		322
Total Production by Channel	$	6,971	$	7,861	$	(890)

Gain on originated residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale, net increased $3.3 million, primarily driven by (i) higher realized gains on loans sold, partially offset by losses on derivatives related to originations, and (ii) no Non-QM securitizations in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $6.0 million loss in the prior quarter. The increase was partially offset by a reduction in volumes attributable to an increase in interest rates during the quarter.

Gain on sale margin for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 1.61%, 20 bps lower than 1.81% for the prior quarter, with the decrease primarily driven by channel mix (refer to the tables above). For the three months ended March 31, 2023, funded loan origination volume was $7.0 billion, down from $7.9 billion in the prior quarter as production in all four channels continued to move towards comparable historical levels after unprecedented purchase and refinance volume in the previous year. Purchase originations comprised 84% of all funded loans for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 85% for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Interest Expense and Warehouse Line Fees

Interest expense and warehouse line fees increased $25.8 million quarter over quarter, primarily due to an increase in interest rates during the quarter, and a higher loan funding volume on our secured financing warehouse lines.

General and Administrative

General and Administrative expenses consists of the following:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022		QoQ Change
Legal and professional	$	12,755	$	13,119	$	(364)

Other	62,010		70,280		(8,270)
Total	$	167,155	$	189,295	$	(22,140)

General and administrative expenses decreased $22.1 million quarter over quarter, primarily driven by a reduction in expenses within our Origination segment associated with a decrease in loan production commensurate with the higher interest rate environment.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense decreased $19.3 million quarter over quarter, primarily driven by a reduction in headcount and commissions due to lower production levels commensurate with the higher interest rate environment.

Other Income (Loss)

Total other income (loss)	$	(45,171)	$	6,114	$	(51,285)

(A)Includes excess MSRs, servicer advance investments, consumer loans and other.

Total other loss was $45.2 million in the first quarter of 2023 compared to income of $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The decrease in Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) quarter over quarter was primarily driven by a decrease in the 10-year Treasury Yield resulting in a decrease in the market value of interest rate swaps partially offset by an increase in realized and unrealized gains from our real estate securities and residential mortgage loan portfolios.

Unrealized loss on secured notes and bonds payable decreased $2.0 million, primarily driven by favorable mark-to-market adjustments related to our consumer loans and mortgage loans receivable.

Rental revenue increased $0.9 million, driven by higher overall occupancy rates on the portfolio and increased rent renewal rates.

Property and maintenance revenue increased $2.1 million, primarily due to continued growth in operations at Guardian.

Other income (loss) increased $25.7 million primarily due to the write-down of our remaining interest in Covius during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax benefit decreased $1.2 million, primarily driven by changes in the fair value of MSRs, loans and swaps held within taxable entities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is a measurement of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, and other general business needs. Additionally, to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. We note that a portion of this requirement may be able to be met in future years through stock dividends, rather than cash, subject to limitations based on the value of our stock.

Our primary sources of funds are cash provided by operating activities (primarily income from loan originations and servicing), sales of and repayments from our investments, potential debt financing sources, including securitizations and the issuance of equity securities, when feasible and appropriate.

Our primary uses of funds are the payment of interest, servicing and subservicing expenses, outstanding commitments (including margins and loan originations), other operating expenses, repayment of borrowings and hedge obligations, dividends and funding of future servicer advances. Our total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023 was $1,434.7 million.

Our ability to utilize funds generated by the MSRs held in our servicer subsidiaries, NRM and the Mortgage Company, is subject to and limited by certain regulatory requirements, including maintaining liquidity, tangible net worth and ratio of capital to assets. Moreover, our ability to access and utilize cash generated from our regulated entities is an important part of our dividend paying ability. As of March 31, 2023, approximately $1,007.5 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held at NRM, Newrez and Caliber, of which $821.4 million were in excess of regulatory liquidity requirements. NRM, Newrez and Caliber are expected to maintain compliance with applicable liquidity and net worth requirements throughout the year.

Currently, our primary sources of financing are secured financing agreements and secured notes and bonds payable, although we have in the past and may in the future also pursue one or more other sources of financing such as securitizations and other secured and unsecured forms of borrowing. As of March 31, 2023, we had outstanding secured financing agreements with an aggregate face amount of approximately $11.8 billion to finance our investments. The financing of our entire RMBS portfolio, which generally has 30- to 90-day terms, is subject to margin calls. Under secured financing agreements, we sell a security to a counterparty and concurrently agree to repurchase the same security at a later date for a higher specified price. The sale price represents financing proceeds and the difference between the sale and repurchase prices represents interest on the financing. The price at which the security is sold generally represents the market value of the security less a discount or “haircut,” which can range broadly. During the term of the secured financing agreement, the counterparty holds the security as collateral. If the agreement is subject to margin calls, the counterparty monitors and calculates what it estimates to be the value of the collateral during the term of the agreement. If this value declines by more than a de minimis threshold, the counterparty could require us to post additional collateral (or “margin”) in order to maintain the initial haircut on the collateral. This margin is typically required to be posted in the form of cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, we may, from time to time, be a party to derivative agreements or financing arrangements that may be subject to margin calls based on the value of such instruments. In addition, $5.0 billion face amount of our MSR and Excess MSR financing is subject to mandatory monthly repayment to the extent that the outstanding balance exceeds the market value (as defined in the related agreement) of the financed asset multiplied by the contractual maximum loan-to-value ratio. We seek to maintain adequate cash reserves and other sources of available liquidity to

meet any margin calls or related requirements resulting from decreases in value related to a reasonably possible (in our opinion) change in interest rates.

Our ability to obtain borrowings and to raise future equity capital is dependent on our ability to access borrowings and the capital markets on attractive terms. We continually monitor market conditions for financing opportunities and at any given time may be entering or pursuing one or more of the transactions described above. Our senior management team has extensive long-term relationships with investment banks, brokerage firms and commercial banks, which we believe enhance our ability to source and finance asset acquisitions on attractive terms and access borrowings and the capital markets at attractive levels.

Our ability to fund our operations, meet financial obligations and finance acquisitions may be impacted by our ability to secure and maintain our secured financing agreements, credit facilities and other financing arrangements. Because secured financing agreements and credit facilities are short-term commitments of capital, lender responses to market conditions may make it more difficult for us to renew or replace, on a continuous basis, our maturing short-term borrowings and have imposed, and may continue to impose, more onerous conditions when rolling such financings. If we are not able to renew our existing facilities or arrange for new financing on terms acceptable to us, or if we default on our covenants or are otherwise unable to access funds under our financing facilities or if we are required to post more collateral or face larger haircuts, we may have to curtail our asset acquisition activities and/or dispose of assets.

The use of TBA dollar roll transactions generally increases our funding diversification, expands our available pool of assets, and increases our overall liquidity position, as TBA contracts typically have lower implied haircuts relative to Agency RMBS pools funded with repo financing. TBA dollar roll transactions may also have a lower implied cost of funds than comparable repo funded transactions offering incremental return potential. However, if it were to become uneconomical to roll our TBA contracts into future months it may be necessary to take physical delivery of the underlying securities and fund those assets with cash or other financing sources, which could reduce our liquidity position.

If the regulatory capital requirements imposed on our lenders change, they may be required to significantly increase the cost of the financing that they provide to us. Our lenders also have revised and may continue to revise their eligibility requirements for the types of assets they are willing to finance or the terms of such financings, including haircuts and requiring additional collateral in the form of cash, based on, among other factors, the regulatory environment and their management of actual and perceived risk. Moreover, the amount of financing we receive under our secured financing agreements will be directly related to our lenders’ valuation of our assets that cover the outstanding borrowings.

On August 17, 2022, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) and Ginnie Mae released updated capital and liquidity standard for loan sellers and servicers. In regard to capital requirements, the updated standards require all loan sellers and servicers to maintain a minimum tangible net worth of $2.5 million plus 25 bps for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and private label servicing UPB plus 35 bps for Ginnie Mae servicing. This change aligns the existing Ginnie Mae capital requirement with the FHFA’s. In addition, the definition of tangible net worth has been changed to remove deferred tax assets, though the tangible net worth to tangible asset ratio remained unchanged at 6% or greater. In regard to liquidity requirements, the updated standards require all non-depositories to maintain base liquidity of 3.5 bps of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and private label servicing UPB plus 10 bps for Ginnie Mae servicing. This change is an increase in required liquidity for the Ginnie Mae balances and aligns with the FHFA’s. Furthermore, specific to FHFA, all non-banks will have to hold additional origination liquidity of 50 bps times loans held for sale plus pipeline loans. Large non-banks with greater than $50 billion UPB in servicing will have to hold an additional liquidity buffer of 2 bps on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac servicing balances and 5 bps on Ginnie Mae servicing. Notwithstanding Ginnie Mae’s risk-based capital requirement, the updated standards will become effective on September 30, 2023. Noncompliance with the capital and liquidity requirements can result in the FHFA and Ginnie Mae taking various remedial actions up to and including removing our ability to sell loans to and service loans on behalf of the FHFA and Ginnie Mae. Currently, Ginnie Mae’s risk-based capital requirement is expected to go into effect on December 31, 2024. The FHFA’s revised requirements are expected to increase our capital and liquidity requirement and lower our return on capital.

With respect to the next 12 months, we expect that our cash on hand combined with our cash flow provided by operations and our ability to roll our secured financing agreements and servicer advance financings will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated liquidity needs with respect to our current investment portfolio, including related financings, potential margin calls, loan origination and operating expenses. Our ability to roll over short-term borrowings is critical to our liquidity outlook. We have a significant amount of near-term maturities, which we expect to be able to refinance. If we cannot repay or refinance our debt on favorable terms, we will need to seek out other sources of liquidity. While it is inherently more difficult to forecast beyond the next 12 months, we currently expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through our cash on hand and, if needed, additional borrowings, proceeds received from secured financing agreements and other financings, proceeds from equity offerings and the liquidation or refinancing of our assets.

These short-term and long-term expectations are forward-looking and subject to a number of uncertainties and assumptions, including those described under “—Market Considerations” as well as under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. If our assumptions about our liquidity prove to be incorrect, we could be subject to a shortfall in liquidity in the future, and such a shortfall may occur rapidly and with little or no notice, which could limit our ability to address the shortfall on a timely basis and could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our cash flow provided by operations differs from our net income due to these primary factors (i) the difference between (a) accretion and amortization and unrealized gains and losses recorded with respect to our investments and (b) cash received therefrom, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on our derivatives, and recorded impairments, if any, (iii) deferred taxes and (iv) principal cash flows related to held-for-sale loans, which are characterized as operating cash flows under GAAP.

(F)Includes $267.2 million which bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.1% with the remaining having LIBOR or SOFR-based floating interest rates.

(G)Includes $218.1 million of corporate loans which bear interest at a fixed rate of 3.7%.

Certain of the debt obligations included above are obligations of our consolidated subsidiaries, which own the related collateral. In some cases, such collateral is not available to other creditors of ours.

We have margin exposure on $11.8 billion of repurchase agreements. To the extent that the value of the collateral underlying these repurchase agreements declines, we may be required to post margin, which could significantly impact our liquidity.

Corporate Debt

On September 16, 2020, we, as borrower, completed a private offering of $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes. Interest on the 2025 Senior Notes accrue at the rate of 6.250% per annum with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2021. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $544.5 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

The 2025 Senior Notes mature on October 15, 2025 and we may redeem some or all of the 2025 Senior Notes at our option, at any time from time to time, on or after October 15, 2022 at a price equal to the following fixed redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes to be redeemed):


Year						Price

2023						101.563%
2024 and thereafter						100.000%

(A)Although available financing is uncommitted, our unused borrowing capacity is available to us if we have additional eligible collateral to pledge and meet other borrowing conditions as set forth in the applicable agreements, including any applicable advance rate.

Covenants

Certain of the debt obligations are subject to customary loan covenants and event of default provisions, including event of default provisions triggered by certain specified declines in our equity or failure to maintain a specified tangible net worth, liquidity, or indebtedness to tangible net worth ratio. Additionally, with the expected phase out of LIBOR, we expect the calculated rate on certain debt obligations will be changed to another published reference standard before the planned cessation of LIBOR quotations in 2023. However, we do not anticipate this change having a significant effect on the terms and conditions, ability to access credit, or on our financial condition. We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of March 31, 2023.

Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, we are authorized to designate and issue up to 100.0 million shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share, in one or more classes or series.

The following table summarizes preferred shares:

(A)Each series has a liquidation preference or par value of $25.00 per share.

(B)Carrying value reflects par value less discount and issuance costs.

(C)Fixed-to-floating rate cumulative redeemable preferred.

(D)Fixed-rate reset cumulative redeemable preferred.

Our 7.50% Series A Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A”), 7.125% Series B Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B”), 6.375% Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C”) and 7.00% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series D”) rank senior to all classes or series of our common stock and to all other equity securities issued by us that expressly indicate are subordinated to the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Our Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and rank on parity with each other. Under certain circumstances upon a change of control, our Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D are convertible to shares of our common stock.

From and including the date of original issue, July 2, 2019, August 15, 2019, February 14, 2020 and September 17, 2021 but excluding August 15, 2024, August 15, 2024, February 15, 2025 and November 15, 2026, holders of shares of our Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 7.50%, 7.125%, 6.375% and 7.00% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share (equivalent to $1.875, $1.781, $1.594 and $1.750 per annum per share), respectively, and from and including August 15, 2024, August 15, 2024 and February 15, 2025, at a floating rate per annum equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 5.802%, 5.640% and 4.969% per annum, for our Series A, Series B and Series C, respectively. Holders of shares of our Series D, from and including November 15, 2026, are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends based on the five-year treasury rate plus a spread of 6.223%. Dividends for the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of each February, May, August and November.

The Series A and Series B will not be redeemable before August 15, 2024, the Series C will not be redeemable before February 15, 2025, and the Series D will not be redeemable before November 15, 2026, except under certain limited circumstances intended to preserve our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and except upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations). On or after August 15, 2024 for the Series A and Series B, February 15, 2025 for the Series C and November 15, 2026 for the Series D, we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not authorized or declared) to, but excluding, the redemption date, without interest.

We may from time to time seek to repurchase our outstanding preferred stock, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.

Additionally, with the expected phase out of LIBOR in 2023, we do not currently intend to amend our any of our Series A-, Series B or Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to change the existing USD-LIBOR cessation fallback language. Consequently, higher interest rates on dividends paid on our preferred stock that reset to floating rates would adversely affect our cash flows.

Common Stock

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes 2.0 billion shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

On August 5, 2022, we entered into a Distribution Agreement to sell shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “ATM Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million, from time to time, through an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”). No share issuances were made during the three months ended March 31, 2023 under the ATM Program.

In December 2022, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock and $100.0 million of our preferred stock through December 31, 2023. Repurchases may be made at any time and from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to one or more plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, by means of one or more tender offers, or otherwise, in each case, as permitted by securities laws and other legal and contractual requirements. The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors including the price and availability of our shares, trading volume, capital availability, our performance and general economic and market conditions. The share repurchase programs may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock or our preferred stock.

The following table summarizes outstanding options as of March 31, 2023:


Held by Former Manager			21,471,990

Issued to the independent directors			5,000
Total			21,476,990

As of March 31, 2023, our outstanding options had a weighted average exercise price of $13.25.

Common Dividends

We are organized and intend to conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We intend to make regular quarterly distributions to holders of our common stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and that it pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that it annually distributes less than 100% of its taxable income. We intend to make regular quarterly distributions of our taxable income to holders of our common stock out of assets legally available for this purpose, if and to the extent authorized by our board of directors. Before we pay any dividend, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our secured financing agreements and other debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets or raise capital to make cash distributions or we may make a portion of the required distribution in the form of a taxable stock distribution or distribution of debt securities.

We make distributions based on a number of factors, including an estimate of taxable earnings per common share. Dividends distributed and taxable and GAAP earnings will typically differ due to items such as fair value adjustments, differences in premium amortization and discount accretion, other differences in method of accounting, non-deductible general and administrative expenses, taxable income arising from certain modifications of debt instruments and investments held in TRSs. Our quarterly dividend per share may be substantially different than our quarterly taxable earnings and GAAP earnings per share.

We will continue to monitor market conditions and the potential impact the ongoing volatility and uncertainty may have on our business. Our board of directors will continue to evaluate the payment of dividends as market conditions evolve, and no definitive determination has been made at this time. While the terms and timing of the approval and declaration of cash dividends, if any, on shares of our capital stock is at the sole discretion of our board of directors and we cannot predict how market conditions may evolve, we intend to distribute to our stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of our REIT taxable

income determined before applying the deduction for dividends paid and by excluding net capital gains consistent with our intention to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities were approximately $1.2 billion and $3.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Operating cash inflows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily consisted of proceeds from sales and principal repayments of purchased residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale, servicing fees received, net interest income received and net recoveries of servicer advances receivable. Operating cash outflows primarily consisted of purchases of residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale, loan originations and subservicing fees paid.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities were approximately $(0.6) billion and $(0.7) billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily consisted of cash paid for real estate securities and the funding of servicer advance investments, net of principal repayments from servicer advance investments, MSRs, real estate securities and loans, as well as proceeds from the sale of real estate securities, loans and REO, and derivative cash flows.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities were approximately $(0.4) billion and $(2.7) billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily consisted of borrowings net of repayments under debt obligations, margin deposits net of returns, capital contributions net of distributions from noncontrolling interests in the equity of consolidated subsidiaries and payment of dividends.

INTEREST RATE, CREDIT AND SPREAD RISK

We are subject to interest rate, credit and spread risk with respect to our investments. These risks are further described in “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have material off-balance sheet arrangements related to our non-consolidated securitizations of residential mortgage loans treated as sales in which we retained certain interests. We believe that these off-balance sheet structures presented the most efficient and least expensive form of financing for these assets at the time they were entered and represented the most common market-accepted method for financing such assets. Our exposure to credit losses related to these non-recourse, off-balance sheet financings is limited to $0.9 billion. As of March 31, 2023, there was $11.4 billion in total outstanding unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans underlying such securitization trusts that represent off-balance sheet financings.

We are party to mortgage loan participation purchase and sale agreements, pursuant to which we have access to uncommitted facilities that provide liquidity for recently sold MBS up to the MBS settlement date. These facilities, which we refer to as gestation facilities, are a component of our financing strategy and are off-balance sheet arrangements.

TBA dollar roll transactions represent a form of off-balance sheet financing accounted for as derivative instruments. In a TBA dollar roll transaction, we do not intend to take physical delivery of the underlying agency MBS and will generally enter into an offsetting position and net settle the paired-off positions in cash. However, under certain market conditions, it may be uneconomical for us to roll our TBA contracts into future months and we may need to take or make physical delivery of the underlying securities. If we were required to take physical delivery to settle a long TBA contract, we would have to fund our total purchase commitment with cash or other financing sources and our liquidity position could be negatively impacted.

As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any other commitments or obligations, including contingent obligations, arising from arrangements with unconsolidated entities or persons that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, cash requirements or capital resources.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2023 included all of the material contractual obligations referred to in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, excluding debt that was repaid as described in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Debt Obligations.”

In addition, we executed the following material contractual obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

•Derivatives – as described in Note 17 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we altered the composition of our economic hedges during the period.

•Debt obligations – as described in Note 18 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we borrowed additional amounts.

See Notes 16, 22 and 24 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for information regarding commitments and material contracts entered into subsequent to March 31, 2023, if any. As described in Note 22, we have committed to purchase certain future servicer advances. The actual amount of future advances is subject to significant uncertainty. However, we currently expect that net recoveries of servicer advances will exceed net fundings for the foreseeable future. This expectation is based on judgments, estimates and assumptions, all of which are subject to significant uncertainty. In addition, the Consumer Loan Companies have invested in loans with an aggregate of $204.9 million of unfunded and available revolving credit privileges as of March 31, 2023. However, under the terms of these loans, requests for draws may be denied and unfunded availability may be terminated at management’s discretion. Lastly, Genesis had commitments to fund up to $682.4 million of additional advances on existing mortgage loans as of March 31, 2023. These commitments are generally subject to loan agreements with covenants regarding the financial performance of the customer and other terms regarding advances that must be met before Genesis funds the commitment.

INFLATION

Virtually all of our assets and liabilities are financial in nature. As a result, interest rates and other factors affect our performance more so than inflation, although inflation rates can often have a meaningful influence over the direction of interest rates. Furthermore, our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP and our distributions are determined by our board of directors primarily based on our taxable income, and, in each case, our activities and balance sheet are measured with reference to historical cost and/or fair market value without considering inflation. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices and other market-based risks. The primary market risks that we are exposed to are interest rate risk, mortgage basis spread risk, prepayment rate risk and credit risk. These risks are highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors beyond our control. All of our market risk sensitive assets, liabilities and derivative positions (other than TBAs) are for non-trading purposes only. For a further discussion of how market risk may affect our financial position or results of operations, please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates.”

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates, including changes in expected interest rates or “yield curves,” affect our investments in various ways, the most significant of which are discussed below.

Fair Value Impact

Changes in the level of interest rates also affect the yields required by the marketplace on interest rate instruments. Increasing interest rates would decrease the value of the fixed rate assets we hold at the time because higher required yields result in lower prices on existing fixed rate assets in order to adjust their yield upward to meet the market.

Changes in unrealized gains or losses resulting from changes in market interest rates do not directly affect our cash flows, or our ability to pay a dividend, to the extent the related assets are expected to be held and continue to perform as expected, as their fair value is not relevant to their underlying cash flows. Changes in unrealized gains or losses would impact our ability to realize gains on existing investments if they were sold. Furthermore, with respect to changes in unrealized gains or losses on investments which are carried at fair value, changes in unrealized gains or losses would impact our net book value and, in certain cases, our net income.

Changes in interest rates can also have ancillary impacts on our investments. Generally, in a declining interest rate environment, residential mortgage loan prepayment rates increase which in turn would cause the value of MSRs, mortgage servicing rights financing receivables, Excess MSRs and the rights to the basic fee components of MSRs to decrease, because the duration of the cash flows we are entitled to receive becomes shortened, and the value of loans and Non-Agency RMBS to increase, because we generally acquired these investments at a discount whose recovery would be accelerated. With respect to a significant portion of our MSRs and Excess MSRs, we have recapture agreements, as described in Notes 4 and 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. These recapture agreements help to protect these investments from the impact of increasing prepayment rates. In addition, to the extent that the loans underlying our MSRs, MSR financing receivables, Excess MSRs and the rights to the basic fee components of MSRs are well-seasoned with credit-impaired borrowers who may have limited refinancing options, we believe the impact of interest rates on prepayments would be reduced. Conversely, in an increasing interest rate environment, prepayment rates decrease which in turn would cause the value of MSRs, MSR financing receivables, Excess MSRs and the rights to the basic fee components of MSRs to increase and the value of loans and Non-Agency RMBS to decrease. To the extent we do not hedge against changes in interest rates, our balance sheet, results of operations and cash flows would be susceptible to significant volatility due to changes in the fair value of, or cash flows from, our investments as interest rates change. However, rising interest rates could result from more robust market conditions, which could reduce the credit risk associated with our investments. The effects of such a decrease in values on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity are discussed below under “—Prepayment Rate Exposure.”

Changes in the value of our assets could affect our ability to borrow and access capital. Also, if the value of our assets subject to short-term financing were to decline, it could cause us to fund margin, or repay debt, and affect our ability to refinance such assets upon the maturity of the related financings, adversely impacting our rate of return on such investments.

We are subject to margin calls on our secured financing agreements. Furthermore, we may, from time to time, be a party to derivative agreements or financing arrangements that are subject to margin calls, or mandatory repayment, based on the value of such instruments. We seek to maintain adequate cash reserves and other sources of available liquidity to meet any margin calls, or required repayments, resulting from decreases in value related to a reasonably possible (in our opinion) change in interest rates but there can be no assurance that our cash reserves will be sufficient.

In addition, changes in interest rates may impact our ability to exercise our call rights and to realize or maximize potential profits from them. A significant portion of the residential mortgage loans underlying our call rights bear fixed rates and may

decline in value during a period of rising market interest rates. Furthermore, rising rates could cause prepayment rates on these loans to decline, which would delay our ability to exercise our call rights. These impacts could be at least partially offset by potential declines in the value of Non-Agency RMBS related to the call rights, which could then be acquired more cheaply, and in credit spreads, which could offset the impact of rising market interest rates on the value of fixed rate loans to some degree. Conversely, declining interest rates could increase the value of our call rights by increasing the value of the underlying loans.

We believe our consumer loan investments generally have limited interest rate sensitivity given that our portfolio is mostly composed of very seasoned loans with credit-impaired borrowers who are paying fixed rates, who we believe are relatively unlikely to change their prepayment patterns based on changes in interest rates.

Interest rates are highly sensitive to many factors, including fiscal and monetary policies and domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors beyond our control.

The interest rates on our secured financing agreements, as well as adjustable-rate mortgage loans in our securitizations, are generally based on LIBOR, which is subject to national, international and other regulatory guidance for reform. Some of these reforms are already effective while others are still to be implemented. These reforms may cause such benchmarks to perform differently than in the past or have other consequences which cannot be predicted with precision. Uncertainty as to the nature of such potential changes, alternative reference rates or other reforms may adversely affect the rates on our secured financing facilities, securitizations or residential loans held for longer-term investment. If LIBOR is discontinued or is no longer quoted, the applicable base rate used to calculate interest on our repurchase agreements will be determined using alternative methods. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in conjunction with the ARRC, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial institutions, started replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with SOFR. It is possible that not all of our assets and liabilities will transition away from LIBOR at the same time, and it is possible that not all of our assets and liabilities will transition to the same alternative reference rate, in each case increasing the difficulty of hedging. We and other market participants have less experience understanding and modeling SOFR-based assets and liabilities than LIBOR-based assets and liabilities, increasing the difficulty of investing, hedging and risk management. The process of transition involves operational risks. It is also possible that no transition will occur for many financial instruments. Any additional changes announced by the regulators or any other successor governance or oversight body, or future changes adopted by such body, in the method pursuant to which reference rates are determined may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in the reported reference rates. If that were to occur, the level of interest payments we incur may change. See Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Changes in banks’ inter-bank lending rate reporting practices or the method pursuant to which LIBOR is determined may adversely affect the value of the financial obligations to be held or issued by us that are linked to LIBOR” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Mortgage Basis Spread Risk

Mortgage basis measures the spread between the yield on current coupon mortgage-backed securities and benchmark rates including treasuries and swaps. The level of mortgage basis is driven by demand and supply of mortgage-backed instruments relative to other rate-sensitive assets. Changes in the mortgage basis have an impact on prepayment rates driven by the ability of borrowers underlying our portfolio to refinance. A lower mortgage basis would imply a lower mortgage rate which would increase prepayment speeds due to higher refinance activity and, therefore, lower fair value of our mortgage portfolio. The mortgage basis is also correlated with other spread products such as corporate credit, and in the crisis of the last decade it was at a generational wide not seen before or since. The table below provides comparative estimated changes in our book value based on changes in mortgage basis.

Prepayment Rate Exposure

Prepayment rates significantly affect the value of MSRs and MSR financing receivables, Excess MSRs, the basic fee component of MSRs (which we own as part of our servicer advance investments), Non-Agency RMBS and loans, including consumer loans. Prepayment rate is the measurement of how quickly borrowers pay down the UPB of their loans or how quickly loans are otherwise brought current, modified, liquidated or charged off. The price we pay to acquire certain investments will be based on, among other things, our projection of the cash flows from the related pool of loans. Our expectation of prepayment rates is a significant assumption underlying those cash flow projections. If the fair value of MSRs and MSR financing receivables, Excess MSRs or the basic fee component of MSRs decreases, we would be required to record a non-cash charge, which would have a negative impact on our financial results. Furthermore, a significant increase in prepayment rates could materially reduce the ultimate cash flows we receive from MSRs and MSR financing receivables, Excess MSRs or our right to the basic fee component of MSRs, and we could ultimately receive substantially less than what we paid for such assets. Conversely, a significant decrease in prepayment rates with respect to our loans or RMBS could delay our expected cash flows and reduce the yield on these investments.

We seek to reduce our exposure to prepayment through the structuring of our investments. For example, in our MSR and Excess MSR investments, we seek to enter into “recapture agreements” whereby our MSR or Excess MSR is retained if the applicable servicer or subservicer originates a new loan the proceeds of which are used to repay a loan underlying an MSR or Excess MSR in our portfolio. We seek to enter into such recapture agreements in order to protect our returns in the event of a rise in voluntary prepayment rates.

Credit Risk

We are subject to varying degrees of credit risk in connection with our assets. Credit risk refers to the ability of each individual borrower underlying our MSRs, MSR financing receivables, Excess MSRs, servicer advance investments, securities and loans to make required interest and principal payments on the scheduled due dates. If delinquencies increase, then the amount of servicer advances we are required to make will also increase, as would our financing cost thereof. We may also invest in loans and Non-Agency RMBS which represent “first loss” pieces; in other words, they do not benefit from credit support although we believe they predominantly benefit from underlying collateral value in excess of their carrying amounts. We do not expect to encounter credit risk in our Agency RMBS, and we do anticipate credit risk related to Non-Agency RMBS, residential mortgage loans and consumer loans.

We seek to reduce credit risk through prudent asset selection, actively monitoring our asset portfolio and the underlying credit quality of our holdings and, where appropriate and achievable, repositioning our investments to upgrade their credit quality. Our pre-acquisition due diligence and processes for monitoring performance include the evaluation of, among other things, credit and risk ratings, principal subordination, prepayment rates, delinquency and default rates, and vintage of collateral.

For our MSRs, MSR financing receivables and Excess MSRs on Agency collateral and our Agency RMBS, delinquency and default rates have an effect similar to prepayment rates. Our Excess MSRs on Non-Agency portfolios are not directly affected by delinquency rates because the servicer continues to advance principal and interest until a default occurs on the applicable loan, so delinquencies decrease prepayments therefore having a positive impact on fair value, while increased defaults have an effect similar to increased prepayments. For our Non-Agency RMBS and loans, higher default rates can lead to greater loss of principal. For our call rights, higher delinquencies and defaults could reduce the value of the underlying loans, therefore reducing or eliminating the related potential profit.

Market factors that could influence the degree of the impact of credit risk on our investments include (i) unemployment and the general economy, which impact borrowers’ ability to make payments on their loans, (ii) home prices, which impact the value of collateral underlying residential mortgage loans, (iii) the availability of credit, which impacts borrowers’ ability to refinance, and (iv) other factors, all of which are beyond our control.

Liquidity Risk

The assets that comprise our asset portfolio are generally not publicly traded. A portion of these assets may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise be less liquid than publicly-traded securities. The illiquidity of our assets may make it difficult for us to sell such assets if the need or desire arises, including in response to changes in economic and other conditions.

Each of the preceding sensitivity analyses is hypothetical and should be used with caution. 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.
