Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | 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. In 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Sculptor, litigation was filed against Sculptor alleging, among other things, that Sculptor’s board of directors (the “Sculptor Board”) and the special committee of the Sculptor Board violated their fiduciary duties, and sought, among other things, to enjoin the transaction with Rithm Capital. An agreement was reached in principle by the parties to settle all claims of the litigation. The parties executed and filed the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release in connection with the settlement, which was approved at a final hearing in May 2024. 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. Capital Commitments — As of June 30, 2024, 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 27 for additional capital commitments entered into subsequent to June 30, 2024, 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 Newrez, 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. Refer to Notes 5 and 14 for discussion on Rithm Capital’s MSRs and servicer advance investments, respectively. •Mortgage Origination Reserves — Newrez 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 Newrez 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 Newrez 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, Newrez generally has an obligation to cure the breach. If Newrez is unable to cure the breach, the purchaser may require Newrez to repurchase the loan. In addition, as issuers of Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations, Newrez 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 Newrez is not obligated to repurchase the delinquent loans, Newrez generally exercises its respective option to repurchase loans that will result in an economic benefit. As of June 30, 2024, Rithm Capital’s estimated liability associated with representations and warranties and Ginnie Mae repurchases was $49.4 million and $1.9 billion, respectively. See Note 5 for information 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 7 for information regarding Rithm Capital’s residential mortgage loans. •Consumer Loans — The Consumer Loan Companies have invested in loans with an aggregate of $162.0 million of unfunded and available revolving credit privileges as of June 30, 2024. However, under the terms of these loans, requests for draws may be denied and unfunded availability may be terminated at Rithm Capital’s discretion. •SFR Properties — On June 21, 2023, Crowne Property Acquisitions, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rithm Capital, executed a purchase and sales agreement with Lennar Homes of Texas Land and Construction, LTD., a subsidiary of Lennar Corporation, to purchase 371 SFR properties, which shall be delivered in phased takedowns, at an estimated aggregate purchase price of $95.6 million, which is payable subject to the phased takedown schedule. The purchased homes are currently under construction, and all of the homes are expected to be delivered by the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2024, 332 SFR properties have been delivered to Rithm Capital pursuant to this arrangement. On February 27, 2024, Viewpoint Murfreesboro Land LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rithm Capital (“Viewpoint”), executed a purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) with an affiliate of BTR Group, LLC (“BTR”), BTR VM LLC, to purchase land for a purchase price of $7.0 million. In connection with the PSA, on February 27, 2024, Viewpoint entered into a fixed price design-build construction contract with BTR (the “Construction Contract”) to purchase 171 SFR properties that are scheduled to be built by BTR on the purchased land in accordance with the plans and specifications approved in accordance with entry into the Construction Contract, for an aggregate purchase price of $49.0 million. The aggregate purchase price is payable in installments in accordance with the draw schedule set forth in the Construction Contract, and delivery of the homes is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2025. •Mortgage Loans Receivable — Genesis and Rithm Capital had commitments to fund up to $938.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of additional advances on existing mortgage loans as of June 30, 2024. 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 or Rithm Capital funds the commitments. •Equity Investments — As part of its investment commitment in certain commercial real estate projects, Rithm Capital is required to fund its pro rata share of future capital contributions subject to certain limitations. •Fund Commitments — The Company has unfunded capital commitments of $246.0 million to certain funds Sculptor manages, of which $108.3 million relates to commitments of consolidated funds. The remaining $137.7 million relates to commitments of the Company to unconsolidated funds. Approximately $111.3 million of the commitments will be funded by contributions to Sculptor from certain current and former employees and executive managing directors. Sculptor expects to fund these commitments over approximately the next 6 years. Sculptor has guaranteed these commitments in the event any executive managing director fails to fund any portion when called by the fund. Sculptor 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 Sculptor’s executive managing directors individually. Non-Recourse Carve-Out, Construction Completion, Environmental and Carry Guarantees – In connection with investments in two commercial real estate projects, Rithm Capital provided certain limited guarantees to the senior lender on the projects related to non-recourse carve outs, completion, environmental, and carry costs of the projects. 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 June 30, 2024, 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 for a further discussion of the Company’s debt obligations.
