“Rithm delivered strong performance in the first quarter despite
a challenging macroeconomic environment, demonstrating the power of
our diversified platform,” said Michael Nierenberg, Chief Executive
Officer and President of Rithm. “The quarter was marked by several
achievements that reinforced the strength of our innovative
approach, including the largest-ever mortgage servicing rights debt
issuance. Each of our core operating businesses, including our
world-class asset management, origination, and servicing platforms,
demonstrated steady growth, providing us confidence in our strategy
and future prospects. This further validates our continued
transformation into a multi-dimensional asset manager that is
well-positioned to capitalize on the outstanding opportunities for
our business and build long-term shareholder value.”

financing.

impact of $204.5 million.
- Newrez generated a 19% pre-tax return on equity (“ROE”) on $5.5

an increase of 30% YoY, which includes $254 billion UPB of
third-party servicing, an increase of 110% YoY.

Genesis Capital LLC (“Genesis Capital”), recorded pre-tax income of
$22.4 million in Q1’25, excluding portfolio mark-to-market loss of

increase of 7% YoY, and a record level for any first quarter.

closing for Sculptor’s Tactical Credit Fund on April 1, 2025,
bringing total fund AUM to $900 million(5).
(1)
Per diluted common share calculations for
both GAAP Net Income and Earnings Available for Distribution are
based on 530,599,555 and 526,279,952 weighted average diluted
shares for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024,
respectively. Per share calculations of Book Value are based on
530,122,477 common shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
(2)
Earnings Available for Distribution is a
non-GAAP financial measure. For a reconciliation of Earnings
Available for Distribution to GAAP Net Income, as well as an
explanation of this measure, please refer to the section entitled
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income
below.
(3)
Excludes full MSR mark-to-market and
related hedge impact of $(180.1) million.
(4)
ROE is calculated based on annualized
pre-tax income, excluding MSR mark-to-market and related hedge
adjustment, divided by the average Origination and Servicing
segment ending equity for the respective period.
(5)
AUM is estimated and refers to the assets
for which Sculptor provides investment management, advisory or
certain other investment-related services. This is generally equal
to the sum of (i) net asset value of the open-ended funds or gross
asset value of Real Estate funds, (ii) uncalled capital
commitments, (iii) par value of 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 Sculptor funds/vehicles. Our
calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset
managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar
measures presented by other asset managers. Our calculations of AUM
are not based on any definition set forth in the governing
documents of the investment funds and are not calculated pursuant
to any regulatory definitions. Sculptor AUM calculation methodology
changed effective September 1, 2024.

(A) Includes assets and liabilities of

assets can only be used to settle obligations and liabilities of
such VIEs for which creditors do not have recourse to Rithm Capital
Corp.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND RECONCILIATION TO GAAP NET
INCOME
The Company has four primary variables that impact its
performance: (i) net interest margin on assets held within the
investment portfolio; (ii) realized and unrealized gains or losses
on assets held within the investment portfolio and operating
companies, including any impairment or reserve for expected credit
losses; (iii) income from the Company’s operating company
investments; and (iv) the Company’s operating expenses and
taxes.
“Earnings available for distribution” is a non-GAAP financial
measure of the Company’s operating performance, which is used by
management to evaluate the Company’s performance, excluding: (i)
net realized and unrealized gains and losses on certain assets and
liabilities; (ii) net other income and losses; (iii)
non-capitalized transaction-related expenses; and (iv) deferred
taxes.
The Company’s definition of earnings available for distribution
excludes certain realized and unrealized losses, which although
they represent a part of the Company’s recurring operations, are
subject to significant variability and are generally limited to a
potential indicator of future economic performance. Within net
other income and losses, management primarily excludes (i)
equity-based compensation expenses, (ii) non-cash deferred interest
expense and (iii) amortization expense related to intangible
assets, as management does not consider this non-cash activity to
be a component of earnings available for distribution. With regard
to non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, management does
not view these costs as part of the Company’s core operations, as
they are considered by management to be similar to realized losses
incurred at acquisition. Non-capitalized transaction related
expenses generally relate to legal and valuation service costs, as
well as other professional service fees, incurred when the Company
acquires certain investments, as well as costs associated with the
acquisition and integration of acquired businesses. Management also
excludes deferred taxes because the Company believes deferred taxes
are not representative of current operations.
Management believes that the adjustments to compute “earnings
available for distribution” specified above allow investors and
analysts to readily identify and track the operating performance of
the assets that form the core of the Company’s activity, assist in
comparing the core operating results between periods and enable
investors to evaluate the Company’s current core performance using
the same financial measure that management uses to operate the
business. Management also utilizes earnings available for
distribution as a financial measure in its decision-making process
relating to improvements to the underlying fundamental operations
of the Company’s investments, as well as the allocation of
resources between those investments, and management also relies on
earnings available for distribution as an indicator of the results
of such decisions. Earnings available for distribution excludes
certain recurring items, such as gains and losses (including
impairment and reserves as well as derivative activities) and
non-capitalized transaction-related expenses, because they are not
considered by management to be part of the Company’s core
operations for the reasons described herein. As such, earnings
available for distribution is not intended to reflect all of the
Company’s activity and should be considered as only one of the
factors used by management in assessing the Company’s performance,
along with GAAP net income which is inclusive of all of the
Company’s activities.
The Company views earnings available for distribution as a
consistent financial measure of its portfolio’s ability to generate
income for distribution to common stockholders. Earnings available
for distribution does not represent and should not be considered as
a substitute for, or superior to, net income or as a substitute
for, or superior to, cash flows from operating activities, each as
determined in accordance with GAAP, and the Company’s calculation
of this financial measure may not be comparable to similarly
entitled financial measures reported by other companies.
Furthermore, to maintain qualification as a REIT, U.S. federal
income tax law generally requires that the Company distribute at
least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, determined without
regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net
capital gains. Because the Company views earnings available for
distribution as a consistent financial measure of its ability to
generate income for distribution to common stockholders, earnings
available for distribution is one metric, but not the exclusive
metric, that the Company’s board of directors uses to determine the
amount, if any, and the payment date of dividends on common stock.
However, earnings available for distribution should not be
considered as an indication of the Company’s taxable income, a
guaranty of its ability to pay dividends or as a proxy for the
amount of dividends it may pay, as earnings available for
distribution excludes certain items that impact its cash needs.
