MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (the "MD&A") should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, and with Part II, Item 1A., "Risk Factors" of this report and Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of the 2025 Form 10-K.
The MD&A is intended to provide information relevant to an assessment of our financial condition and results of operations, including the quality and variability of our earnings and cash flows; discuss material events, trends and uncertainties known to management that are reasonably likely to affect future results or financial condition; and provide context for the financial statements and other data that management believes to be helpful to an understanding of our business from management's perspective.
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Rithm Capital is a global alternative asset manager focused on real estate, credit and financial services. We are a Delaware corporation and currently operate as an internally managed REIT.
We seek to generate long-term value for our investors by leveraging our investment expertise and operating capabilities to identify, acquire, manage and enhance the value of real estate-related and other financial assets. We operate an integrated platform, spanning asset-based finance, residential and commercial real estate lending, commercial real estate ownership and investment, MSRs, and structured credit, that combines operating companies, investment portfolios and asset management capabilities across the residential mortgage, real estate and credit markets. Headquartered in New York City, Rithm Capital has a global presence with offices in London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Toronto and Abu Dhabi.
We conduct our business through the following segments: (i) Origination and Servicing, (ii) Residential Transitional Lending, (iii) Asset Management, (iv) Investment Portfolio and (v) Commercial Real Estate. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company revised the composition of its reportable segments to include a new Commercial Real Estate segment, and prior-period segment information has been recast to conform to the current-period presentation.
Our Origination and Servicing segment operates through our wholly owned subsidiaries, Newrez and New Residential Mortgage LLC ("NRM"). Our residential mortgage origination business sources and originates loans through four channels: Direct to Consumer, Retail/Joint Venture, Wholesale and Correspondent.
Our servicing platform complements its origination business and provides performing and special servicing capabilities to its subsidiaries and third-party clients. NRM and Newrez are licensed or otherwise eligible to service residential mortgage loans in all states within the U.S. and the District of Columbia. NRM and Newrez are also approved to service mortgage loans on behalf of investors, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and in the case of Newrez, Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae," collectively with the GSEs, the "Agencies" and each of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, an "Agency"). Newrez is also eligible to perform servicing on behalf of other servicers as a subservicer.
Newrez sells substantially all of the mortgage loans it originates into the secondary market. Newrez securitizes loans into RMBS through the Agencies. Loans that do not conform to the guidelines of the Agencies, the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA"), the U.S. Department of Agriculture or the Department of Veterans Affairs (for loans securitized with Ginnie Mae) are sold to private investors and mortgage conduits. Newrez generally retains the right to service the underlying residential mortgage loans sold and/or securitized by Newrez. NRM and Newrez are required to conduct aspects of their operations in accordance with applicable policies and guidelines of such Agencies. In addition, to origination and servicing activities, this segment includes operations conducted through wholly owned subsidiaries that provide mortgage- and real estate-related services, including Guardian Asset Management ("Guardian"), a provider of field services and property management services, eStreet Appraisal Management LLC ("eStreet"), a provider of appraisal services, and Avenue 365 Lender Services, LLC ("Avenue 365"), a provider of title and settlement services.
Our Residential Transitional Lending segment primarily operates through our wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis, a residential transitional lender. Genesis originates and manages a portfolio of short-term, business-purpose mortgage loans used by experienced developers of and investors in residential real estate, including multifamily residential properties, to finance transitional projects, including construction, renovation and bridge financings.
Our Asset Management segment conducts its activities primarily through RAM and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Sculptor, Crestline and Rithm Capital Advisors LLC ("RCA"). RCM GA Manager LLC ("RCM Manager" and, together with
RCA, the "Rithm Advisers") manages Rithm Property Trust and R-HOME pursuant to management and/or advisory agreements. Through Sculptor, Crestline and the Rithm Advisers, we provide asset management services and investment products through commingled funds, separate accounts and other alternative investment vehicles, generating primarily fee-based revenues. As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately $59 billion in AUM.
Our Investment Portfolio segment includes investments in real estate-related assets and operating businesses across the residential mortgage and real estate lifecycle. These investments primarily consist of residential mortgage loans, SFR properties, consumer loans, non-Agency securities, Excess MSRs and servicer advance investments, which are held on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and generate income primarily through interest income, rental revenue and other investment portfolio revenues.
Our Commercial Real Estate segment includes the ownership, operation and management of a portfolio of CRE assets, primarily Class A office properties located in New York City and San Francisco. The segment reflects our expansion into CRE equity ownership and operations, including the acquisition of Elecor in December 2025. We manage these assets as part of our broader CRE platform, generating revenues primarily from rental revenue and other property-related revenues. In April 2026, the Company announced the rebranding of the Paramount Group platform to Elecor Properties.
For additional information regarding our investment guidelines, see Part I, Item 1. Business-"Investment Guidelines" of the 2025 Form 10-K.
In executing our strategy, from time to time, we explore, and will continue to explore, various opportunities to create value for our shareholders, which may include acquisitions and dispositions of assets, financing transactions (including equity or debt offerings by one or more of our subsidiaries), business combinations, a change in our tax status, spin-off transactions or other similar transactions. Among other opportunities, we believe there are additional growth opportunities in the direct lending, insurance, private equity and infrastructure spaces. Each of the potential transactions described above is subject to market conditions, regulatory considerations and other factors. There can be no assurances as to the timing of any such transaction or that a transaction will be completed at all.

MARKET CONSIDERATIONS
Summary
During the first quarter of 2026, macroeconomic conditions reflected a combination of stable underlying inflation, modest improvement in labor market conditions and increased volatility in energy prices and interest rates, including uncertainty resulting from the conflict with Iran that began at the end of February 2026. The Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds target range at 3.50%-3.75% during its January and March 2026 meetings following rate cuts in late 2025.
Headline inflation increased during the quarter, primarily reflecting higher energy prices, as West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices increased 76.6% during the quarter following the outbreak of the conflict with Iran, while measures of core inflation remained stable. The unemployment rate declined modestly from 4.4% in December 2025 to 4.3% in March 2026, indicating continued stabilization in labor market conditions.
Market interest rates increased during the quarter, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising 15 basis points to 4.32%, while market expectations for rate cuts in 2026 declined significantly. Equity markets experienced volatility during the quarter, with the S&P 500 declining 4.6% before partially recovering in April 2026.
Inflation
Inflation increased during the first quarter of 2026, primarily reflecting higher energy prices following the outbreak of the conflict with Iran. Consumer Price Index ("CPI") inflation rose from 2.7% in December 2025 to 3.3% in March 2026, driven in part by an increase in energy prices from 2.1% in December 2025 to 12.6% in March 2026 on a year-over-year basis.
Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, remained stable at 2.6%; however, the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of underlying inflation, core Personal Consumption Expenditures, increased from 3.0% in December 2025 to 3.2% in March 2026. Other inflation indicators showed modest increases, with producer price inflation rising to 4.0% in March 2026 from 3.2% in December 2025, and import prices increasing 2.1% over the 12 months ended March 31, 2026 after being flat in December 2025.
Treasury Yields
Treasury yields increased during the first quarter of 2026. The ten-year Treasury yield rose 15 basis points to 4.32% from 4.17% at the end of December 2025. Shorter-term yields increased more significantly, with the two-year Treasury yield rising 32 basis points to 3.79%. As a result, the yield curve flattened, with the spread between two-year and ten-year Treasury yields narrowing from 69 basis points to 52 basis points over the quarter. This shift reflects reduced market expectations for interest rate cuts in 2026.
Labor Markets
Labor market conditions improved modestly during the first quarter of 2026. The unemployment rate declined by 0.1 percentage points from 4.4% in December 2025 to 4.3% in March 2026. Job growth strengthened during the quarter, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by an average of 68,000 per month, compared to an average monthly decline of 39,000 during the fourth quarter of 2025. Initial unemployment insurance claims also declined, averaging 212,000 per week during the first quarter of 2026, compared to 222,000 per week in the prior quarter.
Housing Market
Housing market activity softened during the first quarter of 2026, reflecting higher mortgage rates. Existing home sales declined to an annualized rate of 4.04 million, compared to 4.16 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. New home sales data remains limited due to publication delays, with January 2026 representing the most recent available data. Sales were approximately 587,000 at an annual rate, compared to an average of approximately 709,000 during the fourth quarter of 2025. Home price growth increased modestly, with the median resale price rising 1.4% year-over-year in March 2026, compared to 0.3% in December 2025. Mortgage rates increased during the quarter, with the 30-year fixed rate rising to 6.38% from 6.15% at year-end.
Policy developments also contributed to uncertainty in certain housing-related sectors. The Senate's 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act includes provisions that, if enacted, would require certain large institutional investors to sell newly constructed build-to-rent properties to individual homebuyers within seven years, which could impact construction activity and investment in the build-to-rent sector.
Commercial Real Estate
The U.S. CRE market entered 2026 in a more functional (if still bifurcated) state than in prior periods. Price discovery has continued to advance as the refinancing cycle drives transactions, recapitalizations and extensions-tightening bid-ask spreads in certain property types even as stress remains concentrated in assets with structural demand impairment or near-term capital needs. While the Federal Reserve maintained its policy rate (3.50-3.75%) during the first quarter of 2026, many CRE participants continue to operate with higher-for-longer financing discipline: lower leverage, wider debt yields and a sharper penalty for cash-flow volatility.
Equity markets have also remained selectively actionable in early 2026 as valuations have continued to stabilize and underwriting confidence has improved relative to prior periods. While capitalization rates remain elevated relative to the prior cycle, the combination of maturing debt, reduced rate volatility and selective improvements in fundamentals continues to
support pathways for equity deployment-particularly in situations where basis resets, discounted entry points or recapitalization structures create a margin of safety. That said, equity outcomes remain highly dispersed and increasingly driven by asset quality, sponsorship strength and the ability to execute business plans in a higher-cost operating and capital environment.
Market Conditions & Sector Performance
Industrial & Retail: Industrial fundamentals remain generally stable but more normalized. Leasing and rent growth continue to be supported where demand is tied to logistics, manufacturing re-shoring and supply-chain resilience, while new development remains constrained by capital costs-supporting medium-term balance. Retail continues to demonstrate relatively durable fundamentals: necessity-based and well-located centers benefit from limited new supply and improved tenant health, while discretionary formats remain more sensitive to consumer trade-down and occupancy cost pressures. Broadly, investor attention continues to skew toward "bond-like" retail cash flows and infill industrial assets with long-duration demand support, with equity investors increasingly focused on assets that can sustain distributions and deliver predictable cash flows in a higher-rate environment.
Multifamily: Multifamily remains supported by affordability constraints and household formation, though performance continues to vary by market and vintage. Supply deliveries in select Sun Belt and high-growth markets continue to pressure rent growth and concessions, while insurance, taxes and operating expenses remain key drivers of net operating income variability. The market continues to emphasize operating performance-durable occupancy and expense control remain primary underwriting considerations-and equity investors are placing continued emphasis on in-place cash flow and operational execution, particularly in markets where supply-driven pressure may persist through 2026.
Office: Office continues to reflect significant divergence across assets. Trophy and well-amenitized properties in strong locations with high-quality tenancy remain comparatively more financeable, while commodity assets continue to face elevated vacancy, lease rollover risk and constrained refinancing options. Distress continues to work through the system, with outcomes increasingly dependent on asset quality, capital structure and tenant composition. Performance remains highly market-specific, with certain gateway markets-including New York City and San Francisco-demonstrating relatively stronger leasing and liquidity dynamics. Equity capital, where it participates, remains concentrated in recapitalizations, repositionings and select discounted acquisitions where new basis and capital structure resets can improve long-term viability.
Capital Markets & Investment Trends
Credit remains available but selective and structurally different than the pre-2022 market. Banks continue to demonstrate caution in new origination, particularly for office and transitional business plans, contributing to an ongoing funding gap for refinancing and recapitalization capital. At the same time, securitized and institutional capital sources remain active where collateral and sponsorship meet current underwriting standards. Private-label commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") issuance has remained active in early 2026, reflecting continued demand for stabilized, high-quality collateral, even as stress persists in certain property types and legacy loan vintages.
Equity capital markets remain selectively open but return-driven and more disciplined than in the prior cycle. Public and private market valuation gaps have continued to narrow modestly as capitalization rates have stabilized and forward rate expectations have improved, though transaction activity remains influenced by constrained seller willingness and elevated required returns. Limited partner liquidity needs, fund lifecycle dynamics and debt maturities continue to catalyze recapitalizations and secondary activity, supporting a pipeline of equity opportunities across preferred equity, structured joint ventures and control acquisitions.
The current phase of the cycle continues to be defined by maturities and refinancing dynamics. A substantial volume of commercial mortgages remains scheduled to mature in 2026 and beyond, reinforcing the market's focus on extensions, paydowns and creative capital solutions, including preferred equity, mezzanine financing, rescue capital and structured senior loans. In this environment, transaction activity continues to be driven largely by liability management-recapitalizations and refinancings-rather than discretionary investment sales, and equity investment opportunities remain increasingly linked to capital structure complexity rather than traditional stabilized acquisitions.
Outlook
We expect 2026 to continue to reflect a period of normalization in the CRE market, with outcomes increasingly differentiated by asset quality, sector fundamentals and capital structure. The gap between short-term and long-term Treasury rates narrowed from about 0.71% at year-end to about 0.50% by mid-April due to investors expecting fewer future rate cuts, especially as higher energy prices brought inflation concerns back into focus. The most likely path remains (i) gradually improving liquidity
for "financeable" assets, (ii) continued pressure and resolution activity in structurally challenged segments and (iii) sustained dispersion in performance across property types and markets. While capital markets activity, including CMBS issuance, has remained active, delinquency trends and refinancing activity continue to indicate elevated levels of stress in certain segments, and overall market recovery is expected to remain uneven.
For Rithm Capital, we believe this environment remains constructive because the market continues to produce both structured-credit and equity opportunities with attractive risk-adjusted return potential. Dislocation and refinancing-driven activity should continue to create entry points across the capital stack-particularly where traditional lenders remain constrained and where sponsors require speed, certainty and flexibility. The flatter curve does compress net interest margins for leveraged strategies that borrow short and lend long, placing a premium on credit selection and structural protections over duration positioning-a dynamic that favors the Company's flexible, multi-strategy approach over spread-dependent book-value strategies. 2026 should continue to present attractive opportunities to provide liquidity against real estate with durable cash flows, while selectively pursuing equity and hybrid situations where basis resets, improved documentation terms and capital structure simplification can enhance downside protection and long-term total returns. However, the Company's ability to execute on these opportunities remains subject to market conditions, borrower performance, interest rate volatility and broader economic factors.
The economic conditions discussed above influence our investment strategy and results.

We believe the estimates and assumptions underlying our consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2026; however, uncertainty related to market volatility, the path of the federal funds rate, various regional conflicts and global trade and fiscal policies makes any estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 2026, inherently less certain than they would be absent the current environment. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates. Market volatility, inflationary pressures and government policies (monetary, fiscal, trade and immigration) 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.

Our portfolio, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, is separated into the Origination and Servicing, Residential Transitional Lending, Asset Management, Investment Portfolio and Commercial Real Estate segments, as described in more detail below (dollars in thousands).

(A)The Company's consolidated balance sheets include assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs, including funds and collateralized financing entities ("CFEs") that are presented separately within assets and liabilities of consolidated entities. VIE assets can only be used to settle obligations and liabilities of the VIEs. VIE creditors do not have recourse to Rithm Capital Corp.
Origination and Servicing
The Origination and Servicing segment is Rithm Capital's largest business by assets, equity and earnings contribution. The segment operates through our wholly owned subsidiaries Newrez and NRM, through which, we originate and service residential mortgage loans across multiple distribution channels and product types. As of March 31, 2026, Newrez ranked among the top five lenders in the U.S. based on total funded volume of originations, according to Inside Mortgage Finance. As of December 31, 2025, the latest period for which servicing rankings are available, Newrez also ranked among the top five servicers in the U.S. based on total unpaid principal balance ("UPB") serviced, according to Inside Mortgage Finance.
Revenue in the Origination and Servicing segment is generated primarily from residential mortgage loan originations and servicing. Origination revenues include gains on the sale of residential mortgage loans and the value of MSRs retained upon loan transfer. Servicing revenues consist primarily of contractual servicing fees and ancillary servicing income. Profitability varies by origination channel, with Direct-to-Consumer originations generally generating higher margins and Correspondent originations generally generating lower margins.
We sell conforming loans to the Agencies and securitize Non-QM residential mortgage loans. Loans are typically funded at origination using warehouse financing facilities, which are repaid upon loan sale or securitization.
We operate a multi-channel residential mortgage origination platform that offers both purchase and refinance loan products. Our origination activities are conducted through several channels, including: (i) a Retail channel, which originates loans through loan officers and joint venture relationships; (ii) a Direct-to-Consumer channel, which offers purchase, refinance and closed-end second lien loans to eligible new and existing servicing customers; and (iii) Wholesale and Correspondent channels, through which we purchase loans originated by mortgage brokers, community banks, credit unions and other third-party originators that meet our underwriting and eligibility standards.
Our loan offerings include residential mortgage loans that conform to the underwriting standards of the GSEs and Ginnie Mae, government-insured residential mortgage loans insured by the FHA, the VA and the USDA, non-qualified residential mortgage ("Non-QM") loans originated through our SMART Loan Series and certain non-Agency loan products. Our Non-QM loan offerings are designed for borrowers who do not meet the underwriting criteria applicable to Agency loans but satisfy our credit and risk standards. We also originate closed-end second lien home equity loans for existing customers, which allow borrowers to access home equity without refinancing their existing first-lien mortgage.
Our origination platform funded approximately $15.5 billion and $18.8 billion of residential mortgage loans during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and $15.5 billion and $11.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

We generally service the residential mortgage loans that we originate, which provides ongoing borrower engagement throughout the life of the loan. Our servicing operations are organized into performing and special servicing divisions. The performing servicing division services performing Agency and government-insured loans, while the special servicing division services delinquent Agency, government-insured and non-Agency loans on behalf of loan owners. The special servicing division also provides servicing for third-party portfolios owned by unaffiliated investors.
The table below provides the mix of Newrez's serviced assets portfolio between subserviced performing servicing (labeled as "Performing Servicing") and subserviced non-performing or special servicing (labeled as "Special Servicing"). Third-party servicing includes loan portfolios serviced on behalf of Rithm Capital or its subsidiaries and non-affiliated third parties for the periods presented.

As of March 31, 2026, our performing servicing division serviced approximately $529.7 billion UPB of loans, our special servicing division serviced approximately $269.6 billion UPB of loans and third-party servicers serviced approximately $51.1 billion UPB of loans, for a total servicing portfolio of approximately $850.4 billion UPB. This represented a decrease of approximately $1.4 billion as compared to December 31, 2025, primarily reflecting scheduled and voluntary loan prepayments, partially offset by new client acquisitions and loan production activity, and an increase of $5.5 billion as compared to March 31, 2025, primarily driven by new client acquisitions and loan production activity, partially offset by loan paydowns.
As of March 31, 2026, Newrez serviced approximately 3.7 million customers. The aggregate UPB of loans serviced by Newrez was approximately $799.3 billion, $797.6 billion and $786.6 billion as of March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, approximately 91.4% of the UPB of residential mortgage loans underlying our owned MSRs was serviced by Newrez. In addition to MSRs serviced by Newrez, we engage third-party subservicers, including PHH and Valon, to perform servicing activities with respect to a portion of the residential mortgage loans underlying our MSRs and MSR financing receivables. As of March 31, 2026, loans serviced by these third-party subservicers had an aggregate UPB of approximately $51.1 billion, representing approximately 8.6% of our total servicing portfolio.
Our servicing operations also include subservicing activities performed for third-party clients. These services include performing loan servicing, special servicing and recovery services for deeply delinquent loans. Special servicing generally involves higher-touch borrower engagement, more frequent borrower outreach and higher staffing requirements than performing loan servicing, and accordingly results in higher subservicing fees. Subservicing revenues generally consist of tiered servicing fees based on loan delinquency status and performance metrics, as well as ancillary servicing income.
An MSR represents the right to service a pool of residential mortgage loans in exchange for a portion of the interest payments made by borrowers on the underlying loans, together with ancillary servicing income and custodial interest. This servicing right is recognized as an asset on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. An MSR generally consists of two components: a base servicing fee, which compensates the servicer for performing contractual servicing obligations (including servicing advance obligations), and an Excess MSR, which represents the portion of the servicing fee in excess of the base fee.
We finance our investments in MSRs and MSR financing receivables primarily through short- and medium-term bank facilities and capital markets financings. These borrowings are either recourse or non-recourse obligations and bear interest at either fixed or variable rates based on a specified margin over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Capital markets financings are typically subject to collateral coverage requirements, which are calculated as the ratio of the outstanding note balance to the market value of the underlying collateral. The market value of the collateral is generally updated periodically, and if the collateral coverage ratio exceeds a specified threshold-generally 90%- we may be required to contribute additional collateral, repay a portion of the outstanding debt or post cash to restore compliance. The difference between the applicable collateral coverage ratio and the related trigger level is commonly referred to as a "margin holiday."
Under applicable servicing agreements, servicers are generally required to advance funds on behalf of borrowers for certain scheduled payments unless the servicer determines in good faith that such advances would not be ultimately recoverable from the proceeds of the related mortgage loan or the underlying property. Servicing advances generally fall into the following categories:
•Principal and interest advances, which represent payments advanced by the servicer to cover scheduled principal and interest payments not paid timely by the borrower;
•Escrow advances, which represent payments advanced by the servicer to third parties for real estate taxes and insurance premiums that have not been paid by the borrower; and
•Foreclosure advances, which represent payments made by the servicer for costs incurred in connection with foreclosure proceedings, property preservation and the disposition of mortgaged properties, including legal and professional fees.
Servicer advances are intended to provide liquidity to the underlying securitization structures rather than credit enhancement. These advances are generally senior in the cash flow waterfall and are typically reimbursed from collections on the related mortgage loan pool, borrower payments or proceeds from the liquidation of the underlying property, referred to as loan-level recoveries. The Company's right to reimbursement for such advances is reflected as an asset on our consolidated balance sheets within servicer advances receivable.
Prepayments made by borrowers on residential mortgage loans underlying securitizations may generally be used to fund principal and interest advance obligations. Servicing agreements with Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and certain private-label securitizations ("PLS") typically provide for payment waterfalls that permit servicers to apply collections received from prepayments to satisfy advance requirements. This ability reflects timing differences between the servicer's obligation to remit scheduled payments and the timing of remittance of borrower prepayments. As a result, servicers may effectively use prepayment proceeds to fund advance obligations. In certain circumstances, if advances are determined to be non-recoverable or are not recovered upon loan payoff or property liquidation, the servicer may be entitled to reimburse itself from custodial accounts holding collections on serviced loans, commonly referred to as a "general collections backstop."
We fund servicing advances primarily through a combination of cash on hand, borrower prepayments and secured financing arrangements. Servicer advances are financed primarily through short- and medium-term, non-recourse committed facilities that are generally not subject to margin calls and bear interest at either fixed or variable rates based on a margin over SOFR. These facilities generally have maturities of less than one year.

Hedging Activities
Government and Government-Backed Securities
Our Origination and Servicing segment also includes investments in Agency RMBS and U.S. Treasury securities, which are primarily held to hedge interest rate exposure associated with our MSR portfolio and to support REIT asset and income requirements. These investments are financed primarily through short-term repurchase agreements.

Ancillary Mortgage Services
In addition to origination and servicing activities, this segment includes operations conducted through subsidiaries that provide mortgage- and real estate-related services, including Guardian (property preservation and field services), eStreet (appraisal services) and Avenue 365 (title and settlement services).
Residential Transitional Lending
The Residential Transitional Lending segment operates through Genesis, a wholly owned Rithm subsidiary that originates and manages short-term, business-purpose mortgage loans secured by residential real estate. Genesis is the second-largest U.S. residential transitional lender based on management's estimates of total origination volume.
The originated loans are used by real estate investors and developers to finance transitional projects, including:
•Construction - ground-up construction, including mid-construction refinancings and acquisitions of ground-up construction projects;
•Renovation - acquisition or refinance of properties requiring renovation, excluding ground-up construction; and
•Bridge - financing for purchases, refinances of completed projects or rental properties.
We currently fund construction, renovation and bridge originations primarily through a warehouse credit facility and revolving securitization structures.
Collateral and underwriting. The loans are generally secured by a mortgage or first deed of trust on the underlying real estate. Commitment sizing is determined under our lending policies and is typically based on (i) loan-to-cost ("LTC") or loan-to-after-
repair value ("LTARV") for construction and renovation loans and (ii) loan-to-value ("LTV") for bridge loans. LTC and LTARV are generally calculated as the total commitment at origination divided by the total estimated project cost or the value of the property after completion of renovations, as applicable. LTV is generally calculated as the total commitment at origination divided by the "as-complete" appraisal. At origination, we typically fund a portion of the commitment at closing and hold back the remaining amount for future draws, subject to inspections, progress reporting and other conditions in the loan documents. These ratios do not reflect interim activity such as construction draws, interest capitalization or partial repayments.
Credit support. Loans are typically supported by a corporate and/or personal guarantee, which may be further secured by a pledge of the guarantor's interests in the borrower and/or other real estate or assets owned by the guarantor.
Loan economics and terms. Commitments are generally interest-only and bear a variable rate based on SOFR plus a spread (generally ranging from 4% to 17%), with initial terms typically ranging from 6 to 120 months, depending on project size and expected completion timeline. We may extend loans based on our assessment of project status and other underwriting considerations. As of March 31, 2026, the average commitment size was $5.2 million, and the weighted average remaining term to contractual maturity was 13.8 months.
We earn loan origination fees ("points"), which are generally based on the loan term, borrower profile and collateral characteristics. As of March 31, 2026, we earned an average of 1.2% of total commitment at origination. We also may earn past-due fees, cost reimbursements (including for closing, collection and inspection-related expenses), extension fees for renewals or extensions, and amendment fees for loan modifications. Renewals and extensions are generally evaluated under our then-current underwriting criteria, including applicable LTV limitations based on the origination appraisal or an updated appraisal when required. Origination and renewal fees are recognized as income at origination as residential transition loans ("RTLs") are measured at fair value.
Borrowers and use of proceeds. Borrowers are typically residential real estate investors and developers. Proceeds are generally used to fund construction, renovation, development, acquisition, refinancing and, to a lesser extent, mixed-use projects. Loans are typically structured with partial funding at closing and additional advances disbursed upon completion of agreed construction milestones.
A significant source of new originations has historically been repeat business and referrals. To the extent we originate loans for existing borrowers, these "retention" originations may have lower acquisition costs than originations to new borrowers, which can positively affect profitability.

See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information, including a summary of activity related to residential transition loans from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
Asset Management
The Asset Management segment provides investment management and advisory services across a range of alternative investment strategies, including private credit, opportunistic credit, fund liquidity solutions, real estate and insurance-related strategies. These activities are conducted primarily through RAM. RAM operates its asset management activities through its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Sculptor, Crestline and the Rithm Advisers, which serve as investment advisers to a range of investment vehicles and managed accounts, including Rithm Property Trust and R-HOME, and generate primarily fee-based revenues.
As of March 31, 2026, the Asset Management segment managed approximately $59 billion in assets under management ("AUM"), of which $37 billion and $19 billion was managed by Sculptor and Crestline, respectively.
Revenues
Revenues in the Asset Management segment consist primarily of management fees and incentive income.
Management fees are generally calculated as a percentage of AUM or invested capital, depending on the structure and governing documents of the applicable investment vehicle, and are typically earned and recognized on a quarterly basis, either in advance or in arrears. Management fees, where applicable, are generally prorated for capital inflows and redemptions during the relevant period.
Incentive income is performance-based and is generally calculated as a percentage of investment profits attributable to fund investors, net of management fees. Incentive income arrangements may be subject to contractual provisions such as hurdle rates, high-water marks and catch-up mechanisms, and incentive income is typically recognized later in the life cycle of an investment vehicle or upon crystallization events. As a result, incentive income may be uneven across reporting periods.
Period-to-period changes in Asset Management revenues are driven primarily by changes in AUM resulting from capital inflows and redemptions, investment performance, market conditions and the timing and realization of incentive income.
Expenses
Expenses in the Asset Management segment consist primarily of compensation and benefits for investment professionals and support personnel, general, administrative and operating expenses, technology and infrastructure costs, professional fees and acquisition-related and integration expenses, where applicable.
Compensation expense may fluctuate based on headcount, compensation structure, performance-based incentives and revenue levels. Period-to-period changes in expenses may also reflect changes in AUM, investments in systems, risk management and compliance infrastructure and costs associated with launching new investment products or integrating acquired businesses.
Operating Results
Operating results for the Asset Management segment are driven by the relationship between revenue growth and expense levels, as well as the mix of management fees and incentive income recognized during the period. Market conditions, investor sentiment and asset valuations may affect both revenues and profitability. In addition, the timing of incentive income
recognition and acquisition-related amortization and integration costs may result in variability in operating results between periods.
Operating expenses during the period primarily reflected compensation and benefits, amortization of intangible assets, and office and professional expenses.
Assets Under Management
AUM represents the assets for which we provide investment management, advisory or certain other investment-related services. AUM generally includes (i) the net asset value of managed accounts, open-ended and closed-end funds or the gross asset value of real estate and real estate funds, (ii) uncalled capital commitments and (iii) par value of structured credit vehicles (e.g., collateralized loan obligations). AUM includes amounts that are not subject to management fees, incentive income or other amounts earned on AUM. AUM also includes amounts that are invested in other affiliated funds/vehicles. Rithm Capital's calculation of AUM is intended to provide a consistent and comparable measure of managed assets across its businesses; however, it is not based on any specific regulatory definition and may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other asset managers and, as a result, may not be comparable.
Growth in AUM and positive investment performance generally support growth in Asset Management revenues and earnings, while adverse investment performance or sustained investor redemptions may reduce AUM and negatively affect revenues and profitability.
Key Operating Metrics
Management monitors the performance of the Asset Management segment using AUM, net capital inflows and redemptions, management fee rates, incentive income realization and operating margins.
Investment Portfolio
Our Investment Portfolio segment primarily consists of balance sheet investments in residential mortgage loans, SFR properties, consumer loans, non-Agency securities, Excess MSRs and servicer advance investments.
Excess MSRs
Investments in Excess MSRs represent the portion of the mortgage servicing compensation that exceeds the base servicing fee. Our Excess MSR assets include our ownership interests in Excess MSRs and related recapture agreements that were acquired from, and are serviced by, Rocket, as successor by merger to Mr. Cooper.
The following tables summarize the terms of our Excess MSRs:

Servicer Advance Investments
Our servicer advance investments relate to specified pools of residential mortgage loans for which we have contractually assumed the obligation to fund servicing advances. These investments include (i) the outstanding servicer advances associated with the specified pools, (ii) commitments to purchase future servicer advances and (iii) the right to receive the base servicing fee component of the related MSRs.
The following is a summary of our servicer advance investments, including the right to the base fee component of the related MSRs (dollars in thousands):

Non-Agency Securities
Within our non-Agency securities portfolio, we retain and hold certain risk retention bonds from securitizations that we do not consolidate, in compliance with applicable risk retention requirements under the Dodd-Frank Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. We also hold bonds issued in connection with our consolidated PLS, which are eliminated in consolidation. The related equity value is reflected within assets of consolidated entities and liabilities of consolidated entities on our consolidated balance sheets and is excluded from the tables below. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 80.6% of our non-Agency securities portfolio consisted of bonds retained to satisfy risk retention requirements.

(A)The non-Agency securities portfolio consists of 30.9% floating rate securities and 69.1% fixed-rate securities (accounted for on an amortized cost basis).
We finance a significant portion of our non-Agency securities investments through short-term borrowings under master uncommitted repurchase agreements. These borrowings generally bear interest at rates offered by counterparties for the applicable repurchase term (for example, 30 or 60 days), typically calculated as a specified margin over SOFR. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had pledged non-Agency securities, including securities retained through consolidated securitizations, with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, as collateral for repurchase agreement borrowings.
A portion of the collateral securing these borrowings is subject to daily mark-to-market valuation and related margin calls. The remaining collateral generally is not subject to daily margin calls unless the collateral coverage percentage-calculated as the current carrying value of outstanding debt divided by the market value of the underlying collateral-reaches or exceeds a specified collateral trigger. The difference between the collateral coverage percentage and the collateral trigger is commonly referred to as a "margin holiday." See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our non-Agency securities financing arrangements, including a summary of related activity from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
Residential Mortgage Loans
We accumulate our residential mortgage loan portfolio through loan originations, open-market and bulk acquisitions, and the exercise of call rights. Substantially all of these loans are serviced by Newrez.
We account for residential mortgage loans based on our strategy for each loan and whether the loan was performing or non-performing at acquisition. Acquired performing loans are loans for which, at the time of acquisition, we believe the borrower is likely to continue making payments in accordance with the contractual terms. Purchased non-performing loans are loans for which, at the time of acquisition, we believe the borrower is not likely to make payments in accordance with the contractual terms (i.e., credit-impaired).
Residential mortgage loans are reported in the following categories:
•Loans held-for-investment ("HFI"), at fair value;
•Loans HFS, at lower of cost or fair value;
•Loans HFS, at fair value; and
•Investments of consolidated CFEs, which represent mortgage loans held by certain PLS trusts that we consolidate because we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. Under the CFE election, these assets are measured based on the fair value of the more observable liabilities of the consolidated CFEs. The assets of the consolidated CFEs may be used only to settle the obligations of the respective CFEs, and creditors of the CFEs do not have recourse to Rithm Capital Corp.
As of March 31, 2026, we held approximately $5.1 billion of outstanding face amount of residential mortgage loans classified as residential mortgage loans on our consolidated balance sheets (see below). These investments were financed in part through secured financing agreements with an aggregate face amount of approximately $4.6 billion. Our acquisitions during the period included open-market purchases, originations through Newrez, bulk acquisitions and loans acquired through the exercise of call rights.

(A)For loans classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, the weighted average life is based on the expected timing of the receipt of cash flows. For Level 2 loans, the weighted average life is based on the contractual term of the loan.
(B)Residential mortgage loans of consolidated CFEs are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and valued based on the fair value of the more observable financial liabilities under the CFE election.
(C)Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when principal or interest is 90 days or more past due.
(D)Includes $216.8 million UPB of Ginnie Mae early buyout options.
(E)Includes $414.2 million UPB of Ginnie Mae early buyout options on accrual status as recovery of contractual cash flows are guaranteed by the FHA as of March 31, 2026.
We evaluate the credit quality of our residential mortgage loan portfolio using indicators that include delinquency status, LTV ratios and geographic concentration.
We finance a significant portion of our residential mortgage loan investments through repurchase agreements. These recourse borrowings generally bear variable interest rates for the term of the applicable repurchase transaction (typically less than one year) at a specified margin over SOFR. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had pledged residential mortgage loans with a carrying value of approximately $5.1 billion and $5.8 billion, respectively, as collateral for borrowings under repurchase agreements. Certain of these financings are subject to daily mark-to-market adjustments and related margin calls. Other financings are not subject to daily margin calls unless the collateral coverage percentage-calculated as the current carrying value of outstanding debt divided by the market value of the underlying collateral-reaches or exceeds a specified trigger. The difference between the collateral coverage percentage and the applicable trigger is referred to as a "margin holiday." See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the financing of our residential mortgage loans, including a summary of related activity from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our residential mortgage loans, including a summary of related activity from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.

We finance our consumer loan investments through a combination of securitization and secured borrowing arrangements. The SpringCastle loans are financed with securitized, non-recourse long-term notes with a stated maturity date of September 2037. The Marcus loans are financed with long-term notes with a stated maturity date of June 2028. The Upgrade loans are financed primarily through a secured revolving credit facility that matures in July 2026. See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the financing of our consumer loans, including a summary of activity from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information, including a summary of activity related to consumer loans from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
Single-Family Rental Properties
As of March 31, 2026, our SFR portfolio consisted of approximately 4,025 properties with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.0 billion. The SFR portfolio generates rental income under lease agreements that typically have initial terms of one to two years. Operating results are influenced by rental rates, occupancy levels, tenant turnover and local market conditions. We incur ongoing operating expenses associated with the portfolio, including property taxes, insurance, maintenance and property management costs. Our SFR property acquisitions were financed through a combination of credit facilities, term loans and securitization structures. See Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the financing of our SFR properties.
Our Investment Portfolio segment also includes results from certain wholly owned subsidiaries and minority investments that provide services across the mortgage and real estate sectors. This includes our strategic partnership with Darwin through APM, which provides property management services. All of our SFR properties are currently managed by APM.
Commercial Real Estate
Following the Elecor Acquisition in December 2025, we own and operate a portfolio of Class A office properties in New York City and San Francisco, which are managed as part of our broader real estate platform, totaling approximately 12.2 million square feet.
The key metrics related to Elecor CRE properties are included in the tables below.

Same store leased occupancy (core properties owned by Elecor in a similar manner during both reporting periods) across the Elecor portfolio was 85.7% as of March 31, 2026, compared to 86.9% as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of 120 basis points. This decrease was driven primarily by lease expirations in the three months, partially offset by new leases executed across the portfolio. Year-to-date leasing activity has been executed at rents 16.7% above the full-year 2025 average, reflecting improving tenant demand for premier Class A office space across the Elecor portfolio.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP" or "U.S. 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.
The mortgage and financial sectors operate in a challenging and uncertain economic environment. Financial and real estate companies continue to be affected by, among other things, market volatility, heightened 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, 2026; however, uncertainty over the current macroeconomic conditions makes any estimates and assumptions as of March 31, 2026, inherently less certain than they would be absent the current economic environment. Actual results may materially differ from those estimates. Market volatility and inflationary pressures 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.
Our critical accounting policies as of March 31, 2026, which represent our accounting policies that are most affected by judgments, estimates and assumptions, included all of the critical accounting policies referred to in the 2025 Form 10-K.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
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 to service, gain on sale of loans less cost to originate, asset management fees less expenses, and property rental revenue less operating costs. 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. Additionally, changes in these inputs along with other factors such as delinquency rates and recapture rates may significantly impact the fair value of our MSRs and as a result, our earnings. 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, residential transition loans or the non-Agency securities held in our investment portfolio. Asset management fees are directly related to growth in AUM and investment performance of our funds. Decline in investment performance may slow our AUM growth and increase the potential for redemptions from our funds. Property rental revenue is directly related to occupancy.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, interest rates decreased in comparison to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Changes in interest rates can inversely impact a borrower's ability or willingness to enter into mortgage transactions, including residential, business purpose and commercial loans. On the other hand, lower interest rates also decrease our financing costs.
Summary of Results of Operations
The following table summarizes the changes in our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025 and the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our results of operations are not necessarily indicative of our future performance (dollars in thousands).

Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025
Interest income was $461.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $38.9 million, compared to $500.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to (i) lower interest income from custodial balances at the mortgage company, driven by seasonally lower custodial balances and a lower average earnings rate resulting from the decline in interest rates toward the end of 2025, and (ii) lower interest income from on-balance sheet Non-QM loans due to securitizations during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was partially offset by a full quarter of interest income earned from insurance company investments acquired in December 2025, as well as growth in the RTL portfolio.

Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025
Gain on originated residential mortgage loans, HFS, net was $208.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $4.5 million, compared to $203.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to gains from mortgage loan origination derivatives partially offset by narrower gain on sale margins and reduction in pull through adjusted lock volume.

Gain on sale margin for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 1.09%, 3 bps lower than 1.12% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to narrower margins in the Wholesale and Correspondent channels.

Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025
Interest expense and warehouse line fees were $430.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $7.8 million, compared to $422.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable (i) a full quarter of interest expense incurred by Elecor acquired in December 2025, (ii) an increase in average borrowing on MSRs and (iii) an increase in borrowing to support growth of the RTL portfolio. The increase was partially offset by Non-QM securitizations, reduction in mortgage loan production volume, lower Agency securities held and lower average cost of borrowing during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025
Other income, net was $11.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $78.0 million, compared to $89.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025.
The decrease was primarily attributable to realized and unrealized losses on real estate and other securities, as well as losses related to REO and notes and bonds payable. Losses on real estate and other securities were driven by increases in the 10-year Treasury rate, while changes in notes and bonds payable were primarily due to the early extinguishment of debt.
The decrease in other gains reflects lower gains on preferred stock from certain equity method investments and residential transition loans, along with increased losses on consumer loans.
The decrease in other income, net was primarily attributable to a non-recurring loan recovery in the three months ended December 31, 2025, which was partially offset by increases in pickup from equity method investments.

Non-controlling interests in income (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries was $(0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $1.4 million, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by losses attributable to non-controlling interests in our commercial real estate and asset management segment. This was offset by gains attributable to non-controlling interests in our investment portfolio.

Non-controlling interests in income (loss) of consolidated subsidiaries was $(0.1) million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, a decrease of $1.2 million, compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was driven by losses attributable to non-controlling interests in our commercial real estate and asset management segment. This was offset by gains attributable to non-controlling interests in our investment portfolio.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests in Income of Consolidated Subsidiaries
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025
Redeemable non-controlling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $2.6 million, compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests in a consolidated joint venture during the current period.
Three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Redeemable non-controlling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $6.1 million, compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests in a consolidated joint venture, including interests that were newly established during the first quarter of 2025 and therefore had limited comparable activity in the prior-year period, as well as higher income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interests related to the Company-sponsored SPAC.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
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.
We must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to maintain our status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. A portion of this requirement may be able to be met through stock dividends, rather than cash, subject to limitations based on the value of our stock. Our ability to utilize funds generated by the MSRs held in our servicer subsidiaries, NRM and Newrez, is subject to and limited by regulatory requirements established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (the "FHFA"), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac private label servicing and Ginnie Mae for Ginnie Mae servicing, as summarized below. 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, 2026, approximately $1.4 billion of available liquidity was held at NRM and Newrez, of which $0.8 billion was in excess of the regulatory liquidity requirements. NRM and Newrez are expected to maintain compliance with applicable liquidity and net worth requirements.
The FHFA and Ginnie Mae capital and liquidity 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 UPB, a tangible net worth to tangible asset ratio of 6% or greater and a base liquidity of 3.5 bps of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and private label servicing UPB plus 10 bps for Ginnie Mae servicing UPB. Furthermore, specific to the FHFA, all non-banks have to hold additional origination liquidity of 50 bps times loans HFS 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 UPB and 5 bps on Ginnie Mae servicing UPB. As of March 31, 2026, Rithm Capital maintained compliance with the required capital and liquidity standards. Non-compliance 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. Additionally, Ginnie Mae introduced Risk Based Capital Ratio ("RBCR") requirements for institutions seeking approval as Ginnie Mae single-family issuers (including those that are non-depository mortgage companies). These institutions are required to maintain a RBCR of at least 6% in addition to continuing to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 6%. In connection with the implementation of this requirement, Ginnie Mae also introduced risk-based capital relief for hedging of MSRs, whereby issuers who have a track record of managing their interest rate exposure through MSRs hedging and who meet prescribed eligibility requirements may qualify for RBCR requirement relief. Compliance with these capital and liquidity requirements may require us to maintain elevated levels of capital and liquidity, which could constrain our operations and adversely affect our returns.
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.
Use of Funds
Our primary uses of funds are the payment of interest, compensation expense, servicing and subservicing expenses, payment of outstanding commitments (including margins and loan originations), payment of other operating expenses, repayment of borrowings and hedge obligations, payment of dividends and funding of future servicer advances.
As of March 31, 2026, our total outstanding debt obligations amounted to $35.4 billion and are comprised of secured financing agreements, secured notes and bonds payable, Senior Unsecured Notes (as defined below) and notes payable of consolidated entities. Certain debt obligations are the obligations of our consolidated subsidiaries, which own the related collateral. In some cases, such collateral is not available to other creditors of ours. In particular, the obligations and liabilities of CFEs may only be satisfied with the assets of the respective CFE, and creditors do not have recourse to Rithm Capital Corp.
We have margin exposure on $13.9 billion of secured financing agreements. To the extent that the value of the collateral underlying these secured financing agreements declines below the collateral margin trigger, we may be required to post margin, which could significantly impact our liquidity.

Unsecured Notes
On June 20, 2025, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2030 Senior Notes due July 15, 2030, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on each of January 15th and July 15th, commencing on January 15, 2026. Net proceeds from the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes were approximately $495.0 million, net of commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The 2030 Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2030 and are redeemable at any time from time to time on or after July 15, 2027, at prices ranging from 104% to 100% of the principal amount.
On March 19, 2024, the Company issued $775.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 2029 Senior Notes due April 1, 2029, with interest payable semi-annually in arrears on each of April 1st and October 1st, commencing on October 1, 2024. Net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes were approximately $759.0 million, net of discount and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The 2029 Senior Notes mature on April 1, 2029 and are redeemable at any time and from time to time on or after April 1, 2026, at prices ranging from 104% to 100% of the principal amount.
The Company's senior unsecured notes due October 15, 2025 (the "2025 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2030 Senior Notes and the 2029 Senior Notes, the "Senior Unsecured Notes") were fully redeemed during the second quarter of 2025.
The Indenture, dated March 19, 2024, pursuant to which the 2029 Senior Notes were issued (the "2029 Notes Indenture") and the Indenture, dated June 20, 2025, pursuant to which the 2030 Senior Notes were issued (the "2030 Notes Indenture"), each contain a requirement that the Company maintain Total Unencumbered Assets (as defined in each of the 2030 Notes Indenture and the 2029 Notes Indenture) of not less than 120% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding unsecured debt of the Company. For more information regarding our indebtedness, refer to Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements.

(B)Includes secured financing agreements, secured notes and bonds payable, unsecured notes net of issuance costs, and notes payable of consolidated CFEs of $11.9 billion, $6.3 billion, $1.3 billion and $0.0 billion, respectively.
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. We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of March 31, 2026.
Source of Funds
Our primary sources of funds are cash provided by operating activities (primarily income from loan originations and servicing, as well as management fees and incentive income), sales of and repayments from our investments, potential debt financing sources, including securitizations, and the issuance of equity securities, when feasible and appropriate. Our total cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 was $1.6 billion.
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, 2026, we had outstanding secured financing agreements with an aggregate face amount of approximately $13.9 billion to finance our investments. The financing of our entire Agency 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, $6.9 billion face amount of our 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 LTV 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, 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. As of March 31, 2026, our total borrowing capacity under our secured financing arrangements was $27.3 billion with $9.7 billion of available financing under these arrangements. Although available financing is uncommitted, Rithm Capital's unused borrowing capacity is available if Rithm Capital has additional eligible collateral to pledge and meets other borrowing conditions as set forth in the applicable agreements, including any applicable advance rate.
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 repurchase financing. TBA dollar roll transactions may also have a lower implied cost of funds than comparable repurchase 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.
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 extend or refinance 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 extend or refinance 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 Part I, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of the 2025 Form 10-K. 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.

Common Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes 2.0 billion shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share.
The Company has an "at-the-market" equity offering program (the "ATM Program") pursuant to which we may sell shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $750.0 million, from time to time. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock were issued under the ATM Program.
Additionally, Rithm Capital's stock repurchase program provides flexibility to return capital when deemed accretive to shareholders. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock or our preferred stock.
Common Dividends
We generally need to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income each year (subject to certain adjustments) to our shareholders to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby replenish or increase capital to support our activities. Dividends declared for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $139.6 million.
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 Internal Revenue Code.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $100.7 million and $1.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by $1.0 billion lower net cash receipts from mortgage loan pooling and related activity in the 2026 period, reflecting higher loan pool sales in the prior-year quarter. This reduction in cash from loan sales was partially offset by lower repayments of warehouse credit facilities, which are reflected in cash flows from financing activities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $739.5 million and $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was primarily driven by purchases of government-backed securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, with no comparable purchases during the current period, partially offset by higher net cash used for residential transitional loan activity during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $312.3 million and $56.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by higher net borrowings under secured financing agreements and warehouse credit facilities during the 2026 period, reflecting increased loan origination activity.
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 under "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 $0.7 billion. As of March 31, 2026 there was $10.9 billion in total outstanding UPB of residential mortgage loans underlying such securitization trusts that represent off-balance sheet financings.
We have material off-balance sheet arrangements related to our involvement with funds and other vehicles, primarily related to providing asset management services and, in certain cases, investments in such non-consolidated entities. As of March 31, 2026, our maximum exposure to loss of $1.3 billion represents the potential loss of current investments or income and fees receivable from these entities, as well as the obligation to repay unearned revenues, primarily incentive income subject to clawback, in the event of any future fund losses, as well as unfunded commitments to certain funds. The Company does not provide, nor is it required to provide, any type of non-contractual financial or other support beyond its share of capital commitments.
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 mortgage-backed securities ("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, 2026, 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.

See Note 25 and Note 27 to our consolidated financial statements for information regarding commitments and material contracts entered into subsequent to March 31, 2026, if any. As described in Note 25, 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, those certain limited liability companies which hold certain of our consumer loan portfolios have invested in loans with an aggregate of $128.6 million of unfunded and available revolving credit privileges as of March 31, 2026. However, under the terms of these loans, requests for draws may be denied and unfunded availability may be terminated at management's discretion. Genesis had commitments to fund up to $1.9 billion of additional advances on existing mortgage loans as of March 31, 2026. 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. Rithm Capital has invested in various CRE projects. As part of its investments, Rithm Capital is required to fund its pro rata share of future capital contributions subject to certain limitations. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has an unfunded capital commitment to fund up to $80.0 million on an existing loan to a certain CRE borrower. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has unfunded capital commitments of $548.9 million, of which $35.6 million relates to commitments of consolidated funds. Approximately $129.9 million of the commitments will be funded by contributions to the Company from certain current and former employees and executive managing directors. The Company expects to fund these commitments over approximately the next 6 years. The Company has guaranteed these commitments in the event any executive managing director fails to fund any portion when called by the fund. The Company has historically not funded any of these commitments and does not expect to in the future, as these commitments are expected to be funded by the Company's executive managing directors individually. Additionally, the Company, through a consolidated subsidiary, entered into a joint venture which the Company consolidates, with a third party to acquire an interest in an affiliated fund. As of March 31, 2026, the unfunded capital commitment to the consolidated joint venture was $31.4 million, of which $25.1 million is expected to be funded by the third-party.
INFLATION
Substantially 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.
