Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES | VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES In the normal course of business, Rithm Capital enters into transactions with special purpose entities (“SPEs”), which primarily consist of trusts established for a limited purpose. The SPEs have been formed for the purpose of transactions in which the Company transfers assets into an SPE in return for various forms of debt obligations supported by those assets. In these transactions, the Company typically receives cash and/or other interests in the SPE as proceeds for the transferred assets. The Company retains the right to service the transferred receivables. The Company first evaluates whether it holds a variable interest in the entity. Where the Company has a variable interest, it is required to determine whether the entity is a VIE or a VOE, the classification of which will determine the consolidation model that the Company is required to follow when determining whether it should consolidate the entity. VIEs are defined as entities in which (i) equity at risk investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or (iii) substantially all of the activities of the entity are performed on behalf of the party with disproportionately few voting rights. Where an entity does not have the characteristics of a VIE, it is a VOE. A VIE is required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party that has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE. To assess whether Rithm Capital has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, Rithm Capital considers all the facts and circumstances, including its role in establishing the VIE and its ongoing rights and responsibilities. This assessment includes identifying (i) the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) which party, if any, has power over those activities. To assess whether Rithm Capital has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE, Rithm Capital considers all of its economic interests and applies judgment in determining whether these interests, individually or in the aggregate, are considered potentially significant to the VIE. When an SPE meets the definition of a VIE and the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the SPE in its consolidated financial statements. For certain consolidated VIEs that meet the definition of a CFE, which is a VIE that holds financial assets, issues beneficial interests in those assets and has no more than nominal equity, Rithm Capital has elected to account for the assets and liabilities of these entities under the CFE measurement alternative. The CFE measurement alternative allows companies to elect to measure both the financial assets and financial liabilities of a CFE using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets or fair value of the financial liabilities. The net equity in an entity accounted for under the CFE election effectively represents the fair value of the beneficial interests Rithm Capital owns in the entity. The assets of the consolidated CFEs can only be used to settle obligations and liabilities of these consolidated CFEs and are not available for general use by the Company. The liabilities of these consolidated CFEs are liabilities only of these entities and creditors have no recourse to the Company for the consolidated CFEs’ liabilities. Consolidated VIEs The assets of consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle obligations of these entities. There is no recourse to Rithm Capital Corp. for the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities. Advance Purchaser Rithm Capital, through a taxable wholly-owned subsidiary, is the managing member of Advance Purchaser and owns approximately 89.3% of Advance Purchaser as of March 31, 2025. Rithm Capital is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of Advance Purchaser as a result of its ability to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities and its ownership of a significant equity investment. See Note 14 for details. Newrez Joint Ventures A wholly-owned subsidiary of Newrez, Newrez Ventures LLC (formerly known as Shelter Mortgage Company LLC) (“Newrez Ventures”), is a mortgage originator specializing in retail originations. Newrez Ventures operates its business through a series of joint ventures (“Newrez Joint Ventures”) and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of such Newrez Joint Ventures as a result of its ability to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Newrez Joint Venture entities and its ownership of a significant equity investment. Residential Mortgage Loans Securitizations The Company securitizes, sells and services residential mortgage loans. Securitization transactions typically involve the use of VIEs and are accounted for either as sales or as secured financings. Certain of these activities may involve SPEs which, by their nature, are deemed to be VIEs. Rithm Capital sells pools of conforming mortgage loans through Agency and Ginnie Mae sponsored programs with the servicing retained by Newrez. The Company has several financing vehicles in the form of mortgage loan participation and sale agreements with financial institutions, or purchasers, to sell pools of agency residential mortgage loans. Newrez Mortgage Participant LLC, Newrez Mortgage Participant II LLC, NPF Trust EBO I, Newrez Trust II and subsequently, Newrez Trust III were formed to acquire, receive, participate, hold, release and dispose of participation interests in certain of Newrez’s residential mortgage loans HFS (“MLHFS PC”). These facilities transfer the MLHFS PC in exchange for cash. Newrez is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore consolidates the SPE. The transferred MLHFS PC is classified on the consolidated balance sheets as residential mortgage loans, HFS and the related warehouse credit facility liabilities as part of secured financing agreements. Newrez retains the risks and benefits associated with the assets transferred to the SPEs. As of September 30, 2024, Newrez Mortgage Participant LLC was terminated. In May 2021, Newrez issued $750.0 million in notes through a securitization facility (the “2021-1 Securitization Facility”) that bear interest at 30-day SOFR plus a margin. The 2021-1 Securitization Facility is secured by newly originated, first-lien, fixed- and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans eligible for purchase by the GSEs and Ginnie Mae. Through a master repurchase agreement, Newrez sells its originated residential mortgage loans to the 2021-1 Securitization Facility, which then issues notes to third-party qualified investors, with Newrez retaining the trust certificate. The loans serve as collateral with the proceeds from the note issuance ultimately financing the originations. The 2021-1 Securitization Facility will terminate on the earlier of (i) the three-year anniversary of the initial closing date, (ii) the Company exercising its right to optional prepayment in full or (iii) a repurchase triggering event. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the 2021-1 Securitization Facility as it has both (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE. As of April 30, 2024, the 2021-1 Securitization Facility was terminated. In August 2022, Rithm Capital sponsored a securitization of mortgage loans (the “2022-SFR2 Securitization”) secured by certain single family rental properties owned by the Company (the “2022-SFR2 Properties”). The Company retained the most subordinate tranche trust certificate issued by 2022-SFR2 Securitization, classified as a VIE. During the third quarter of 2024, a related party of the Company, APM, became the property manager of the 2022-SFR2 Properties. Upon this reconsideration event, the Company reassessed its consolidation conclusion and concluded that it was now the primary beneficiary of 2022-SFR2 Securitization, as it has power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the 2022-SFR2 Securitization’s economic performance and has an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE. As a result, the Company consolidated 2022-SFR2 Securitization during the third quarter of 2024. Consumer Loan Companies Rithm Capital owns a 100% interest in a portfolio of consumer loans held through certain limited liability entities (the “Consumer Loan Companies”) that are classified as VIEs. The Company is primary beneficiary and consolidates the Consumer Loan Companies. On September 25, 2020, the Company sponsored a securitization of a portfolio of consumer loans which issued $663.0 million of asset-backed notes (“SCFT 2020-A”). Rithm Capital retained a residual interest of securitized loans for risk retention purposes. The Company is the primary beneficiary of SCFT 2020-A, classified as a VIE, and therefore consolidates it, as it has power to redeem the notes issued by SCFT 2020-A and liquidate the structure at any time and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE. Asset Management and Other In the second quarter of 2024, Sculptor launched a CLO equity investment platform to manage investments in the equity tranches of Sculptor managed CLOs in the U.S. and Europe (“Sculptor Loan Financing Partners”). The Company is the primary beneficiary of the Sculptor Loan Financing Partners, as it has both (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture with a third party to invest in an affiliated fund. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, classified as a VIE, as it has power over the VIE’s most significant activities and has an obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant. Under certain circumstances, the Company’s interest in the joint venture could be subordinated up to a certain amount if the specified minimum return is not achieved upon the third party’s interest redemption. Rithm Capital has investments in various commercial real estate entities classified as VIEs and held through wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company has a controlling financial interest in these VIEs as it holds substantially all of the economic interests in such VIEs. The Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates such VIEs. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture with Rithm Property Trust, a related party, to acquire a certain note receivable. While power is shared between the Company and Rithm Property Trust, the Company is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE, as it is most closely associated with the VIE under the related-party tiebreaker guidance. SPAC As noted in Note 1, in the first quarter of 2025, the SPAC sponsored by the Company completed its IPO raising gross proceeds of $230.0 million (including the full exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option) related to 23,000,000 units consisting of 23,000,000 Class A ordinary shares and one-third of one redeemable warrant classified as equity. The Company consolidates the SPAC, which is classified as a VIE. Additionally, the Company, through its consolidated subsidiary Rithm Acquisition Corp Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”), owns the majority of the SPAC’s outstanding Class B ordinary shares and has power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance making it the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Consolidated CFEs Loan Securitizations - Residential Transition Loans Rithm Capital sponsored securitization trusts, classified as VIEs, that issue securitized debt collateralized by residential transition loans and for which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rithm Capital serves as asset manager. Rithm Capital acquired all of the most subordinated trust certificates. Rithm Capital concluded that the most subordinate tranche trust certificates absorb a majority of the trusts expected losses or receive a majority of the trusts’ expected residual returns. Rithm Capital also concluded that the securitization’s asset manager has the ability to direct activities that could impact the trusts’ economic performance. As a result, Rithm Capital consolidates such trusts. The assets of these consolidated loan securitization trusts may only be used to settle obligations of these entities and are not available to creditors of the Company. The investors in these consolidated loan securitizations have no recourse against the assets of the Company, and there is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated entities’ liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, these trusts’ assets consist of pools of performing, adjustable-rate and fixed-rate, interest-only, residential transition loans (construction, renovation and bridge), secured by a first lien or a first and second lien on a non-owner occupied mortgaged property with original terms to maturity of up to 120 months, with an aggregate UPB of approximately $914.8 million and an aggregate principal limit of approximately $1.2 billion. Refer to Note 19 regarding the fair value measurements of consolidated loan securitizations. Loan Securitizations - Residential Mortgage Loans Rithm Capital sponsors the formation of certain mortgage securitization trusts, considered VIEs, to securitize performing Non-QM loans and seasoned mortgage loans. The Company consolidates certain trusts for which it is the primary beneficiary. The Company acts as the primary servicer for such trusts and therefore has the ability to direct activities that could impact these trusts’ economic performance. Generally, the Company retains a vertical tranche of notes issued by these trusts for risk retention purposes in addition to the most subordinated tranches and “interest only” interests. Such retained interests were eliminated in consolidation. Depending on the type of the securitization, the underlying pool of assets may consist of performing, amortizing and interest only, fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage loans secured by first liens on single family residential properties, planned unit developments and condominiums. The assets of these consolidated loan securitizations may only be used to settle obligations of these entities and are not available to creditors of the Company. The investors in these consolidated loan securitizations have no recourse against the assets of the Company, and there is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated entities’ liabilities. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company sold “interest only” securities in two seasoned mortgage loan securitization trusts, and it now only holds securities for risk retention purposes. The Company is now not the primary beneficiary as it no longer holds significant interests in these trusts. As a result of deconsolidation, the Company derecognized $371.5 million of assets and $352.9 million of liabilities of consolidated CFEs and recognized a loss of $0.9 million presented in realized and unrealized gains (losses), net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company continues to retain $17.4 million of notes held at fair value as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the notes payable, at fair value of consolidated CFEs due to third parties had a fair value of $2.3 billion. Rithm Capital’s retained interest in the consolidated CFEs was $0.4 billion. Refer to Note 19 regarding the fair value measurements of consolidated loan securitizations. Funds In the ordinary course of business, Sculptor sponsors the formation of consolidated funds that are considered VIEs. The Company consolidates certain VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary either directly or indirectly through a consolidated entity. The assets of these consolidated funds may only be used to settle obligations of these entities and are not available to creditors of the Company, including Sculptor. The investors in these consolidated funds have no recourse against the assets of the Company, including Sculptor. There is no recourse to the Company, including to Sculptor, for the consolidated funds’ liabilities. The Company, through Sculptor, consolidates a structured alternative investment solution, which issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, of which approximately $127.8 million were retained by Sculptor and eliminated in consolidation. The retained notes consists of $20.0 million Class A notes, $20.0 million of Class C notes and $87.8 million of subordinated notes. As of March 31, 2025, the consolidated notes payable due to third parties had a fair value of $224.0 million. Sculptor’s structured alternative investment solution entered into a $52.5 million credit facility maturing March 18, 2026. This credit facility is capped at $20.0 million of total borrowing capacity per quarter, bearing interest of SOFR plus margin of 3.0%. The facility is also subject to an annual 1.15% unused commitment fee. As of March 31, 2025, the consolidated funds have not drawn on the facility. Additionally, the Company consolidates two CLO funds, managed by Sculptor, which in 2024, issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $814.4 million, of which approximately $76.3 million, were retained by the Company and eliminated in consolidation. As of March 31, 2025, the consolidated notes payable due to third parties had a fair value of $731.4 million. The Company’s investments in CLOs are generally subordinated to other interests in the entities. Investors in the CLOs have no recourse against the Company for any losses incurred by the CLOs. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to the retained interest. See Note 18 and Note 19 regarding the financing and fair value measurements of consolidated funds, respectively.

(A)Reflect assets of consolidated CFEs - investments, at fair value and other assets and liabilities of consolidated CFEs - notes payable, at fair value and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Non-Consolidated VIEs The Company transfers residential mortgage loans to securitization trusts, classified as VIEs and retains the right to service the transferred loans. The Company also retains interest in such VIEs pursuant to required risk retention regulations. The Company does not consolidate such VIEs, as it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The following table summarizes the carrying value of notes issued by unconsolidated VIEs and retained by the Company, which reflects the Company’s maximum exposure to loss, as well as the UPB of transferred loans. The retained notes are presented as non-Agency securities, at fair value within other assets on the consolidated balance sheets:

(C)Classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the valuation is based on certain unobservable inputs including discount rate, prepayment rates and loss severity. See Note 19 for details on unobservable inputs. The following table summarizes the Company’s involvement, through Sculptor, with VIEs that are not consolidated and is generally limited to providing asset management services and, in certain cases, investments in the VIEs. The maximum exposure to loss represents the potential loss of current investments or income and fees receivables 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 that are VIEs. The Company does not provide, nor is it required to provide, any type of non-contractual financial or other support to its VIEs that are not consolidated beyond its share of capital and other commitments described in Note 25.

Noncontrolling interests related to asset management investments represents the ownership interests in certain funds held by entities or persons other than the Company. These interests substantially relate to interests held by employees in real estate and energy funds managed by the Company adjusted for their capital activity and allocated earnings in such funds. Such employees’ portion of carried interest is expensed and recorded within compensation and benefits on the consolidated statements of operations and therefore excluded in the calculation of noncontrolling interests. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests In the first quarter of 2025, the Company consolidated the SPAC it sponsors. The Class A ordinary shares issued by the consolidated SPAC are redeemable for cash by the public shareholders at the time of a business combination or in the event the SPAC is unable to complete a business combination by a set date. Since the redemption of the Class A ordinary shares is outside the Company’s control, they are not classified as permanent equity and are recognized as redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries in the consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2025, certain interest held by a third-party in a consolidated entity is classified within redeemable noncontrolling interests due to a redemption feature. The following table presents the activity in redeemable noncontrolling interests:
