FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS U.S. GAAP requires the categorization of fair value measurement into three broad levels which form a hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs to the valuation. Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments. Level 2 – Valuations based principally on other observable market parameters, including: • Quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, • Quoted prices in less active or inactive markets for identical or similar instruments, • Other observable inputs (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment rates, loss severities, credit risks and default rates (“CDR”)), and • Market corroborated inputs (derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data). Level 3 – Valuations based significantly on unobservable inputs. Rithm Capital follows this hierarchy for its fair value measurements. The classifications are based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The carrying values and fair values of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as other financial instruments for which fair value is disclosed, as of December 31, 2023 were as follows: Principal Balance or Notional Amount Carrying Value Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 NAV Total Assets: Excess MSRs (A) $ 60,049,904 $ 271,150 $ — $ — $ 271,150 $ — $ 271,150 MSRs and MSR financing receivables (A) 528,434,509 8,405,938 — — 8,405,938 — 8,405,938 Servicer advance investments 320,630 376,881 — — 376,881 — 376,881 Real estate and other securities (B) 27,635,692 9,782,217 24,566 8,533,130 1,224,534 — 9,782,230 Residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale 94,336 78,877 — — 78,877 — 78,877 Residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale, at fair value 2,460,924 2,461,865 — 2,327,528 134,337 — 2,461,865 Residential mortgage loans, held-for-investment, at fair value 448,060 379,044 — — 379,044 — 379,044 Residential mortgage loans subject to repurchase 1,782,998 1,782,998 — 1,782,998 — — 1,782,998 Consumer loans 1,308,774 1,274,005 — — 1,274,005 — 1,274,005 Derivative assets 11,188,206 28,080 — 1,598 26,482 — 28,080 Mortgage loans receivable (C) 2,232,913 2,232,913 — 353,595 1,879,318 — 2,232,913 Note receivable 534,463 398,227 — — 398,227 — 398,227 Loans receivable 31,323 31,323 — — 31,323 — 31,323 Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 1,672,819 1,672,819 1,672,819 — — — 1,672,819 Investments of consolidated funds (E) 323,973 321,856 — — — 321,856 321,856 Other assets N/A 61,902 — — 61,902 — 61,902 $ 29,560,095 $ 1,697,385 $ 12,998,849 $ 14,542,018 $ 321,856 $ 29,560,108 Liabilities: Secured financing agreements $ 12,570,327 $ 12,561,283 $ — $ 12,377,336 $ 184,112 $ — $ 12,561,448 Secured notes and bonds payable (D) 10,770,230 10,679,186 — 318,998 10,685,782 — 11,004,780 Unsecured senior notes, net of issuance costs 814,739 719,004 — — 708,328 — 708,328 Residential mortgage loan repurchase liability 1,782,998 1,782,998 — 1,782,998 — — 1,782,998 Derivative liabilities 7,361,942 115,531 63,766 49,087 2,678 — 115,531 Notes payable of consolidated funds (E) 222,250 218,157 — — 218,157 — 218,157 $ 26,076,159 $ 63,766 $ 14,528,419 $ 11,799,057 $ — $ 26,391,242 (A) The notional amount represents the total UPB of the residential mortgage loans underlying the MSRs, MSR financing receivables and Excess MSRs.

Excess MSRs, MSRs and MSR Financing Receivables Valuation Fair value estimates of Rithm Capital’s MSRs and Excess MSRs were based on internal pricing models. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included expectations of prepayment rates, delinquency rates, recapture rates for Excess MSRs, the mortgage servicing amount or excess mortgage servicing amount of the underlying residential mortgage loans, as applicable, and discount rates that market participants would use in determining the fair values of mortgage servicing rights on similar pools of residential mortgage loans. In addition, for MSRs, significant inputs included the market-level estimated cost of servicing. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rates, prepayment or delinquency rates, or costs of servicing, in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement, whereas significant increases (decreases) in the recapture rates or mortgage servicing amount or excess mortgage servicing amount, as applicable, in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the delinquency rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the prepayment rate.

(D) Percentage of voluntarily prepaid loans that are expected to be refinanced by the related servicer or subservicer, as applicable. (E) Weighted average total mortgage servicing amount, in excess of the basic fee as applicable, measured in basis points (“bps”). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, weighted average costs of subservicing of $6.38 – $7.08 ($6.99) and $6.80 – $7.00 ($6.90), respectively, per loan per month was used to value the agency MSRs. Weighted average costs of subservicing of $7.50 – $9.57 ($9.16) and $7.30 – $17.20 ($8.70), respectively, per loan per month was used to value the non-agency MSRs, including MSR Financing Receivables. Weighted average cost of subservicing of $8.37 and $8.30 – $8.40 ($8.30), respectively, per loan per month was used to value the Ginnie Mae MSRs. (F) Weighted average maturity of the underlying residential mortgage loans in the pool. (G) For certain pools, recapture rate represents the expected recapture rate with the successor subservicer appointed by NRM. (H) Recapture is not considered a significant input for MSRs and MSR financing receivables. With respect to valuing the PHH-serviced MSRs and MSR financing receivables, which include a significant servicer advances receivable component, the cost of financing servicer advances receivable is assumed to be SOFR plus 4.1%. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, weighted average discount rates of 8.8% (range of 8.5% – 9.0%) and 8.3% (range of 8.0% – 8.5%), respectively, were used to value Rithm Capital’s Excess MSRs (directly and through equity method investees). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, weighted average discount rates of 8.5% (range of 7.9% – 10.8%) and 8.3% (range of 7.6% – 9.8%) were used to value Rithm Capital’s MSRs and MSR financing receivables, respectively. All of the assumptions listed have some degree of market observability, based on Rithm Capital’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants and use of common market data sources. Rithm Capital uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows for each investment in MSRs and Excess MSRs. When valuing MSRs and Excess MSRs, Rithm Capital uses the following criteria to determine the significant inputs: • Prepayment Rate : Prepayment rate projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The prepayment vector specifies the percentage of the collateral balance that is expected to prepay voluntarily (i.e., pay off) and involuntarily (i.e., default) at each point in the future. The prepayment vector is based on assumptions that reflect macroeconomic conditions like home price appreciation, current level of interest rates as well as loan level factors such as the borrower’s interest rate, FICO score, LTV ratio, debt-to-income ratio and vintage on a loan level basis. Rithm Capital considers historical prepayment experience associated with the collateral when determining this vector and also reviews industry research on the prepayment experience of similar loan pools. This data is obtained from remittance reports, market data services and other market sources. • Delinquency Rates : For existing mortgage pools, delinquency rates are based on the recent pool-specific experience of loans that missed their latest mortgage payments. Delinquency rate projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The delinquency vector specifies the percentage of the UPB that is expected to be delinquent each month. The delinquency vector is based on assumptions that reflect macroeconomic conditions, the historical delinquency rates for the pools and the underlying borrower characteristics such as the FICO score and LTV ratio. For the recapture agreements and recaptured loans, delinquency rates are based on the experience of similar loan pools originated by Rithm Capital’s servicers and subservicers (our “Servicing Partners”) and delinquency experience over the past year. Rithm Capital believes this time period provides a reasonable sample for projecting future delinquency rates while taking into account current market conditions. Additional consideration is given to loans that are expected to become 30 or more days delinquent. • Recapture Rates : Recapture rates are based on actual average recapture rates experienced by Rithm Capital’s Servicing Partners on similar residential mortgage loan pools. Generally, Rithm Capital looks to three • Mortgage Servicing Amount or Excess Mortgage Servicing Amount : For existing mortgage pools, mortgage servicing amount and excess mortgage servicing amount projections are based on the actual total mortgage servicing amount, in excess of a basic fee as applicable. For loans expected to be refinanced by the related servicer or subservicer and subject to a recapture agreement, Rithm Capital considers the mortgage servicing amount or excess mortgage servicing amount on loans recently originated by the related servicer over the past three months and other general market considerations. Rithm Capital believes this time period provides a reasonable sample for projecting future mortgage servicing amounts and excess mortgage servicing amounts while taking into account current market conditions. • Discount Rate : The discount rates used by Rithm Capital are derived from market data on pricing of MSRs backed by similar collateral. • Cost of subservicing : The costs of subservicing used by Rithm Capital are based on available market data for various loan types and delinquency statuses. Rithm Capital uses different prepayment and delinquency assumptions in valuing the MSRs and Excess MSRs, relating to the original loan pools, the recapture agreements and the MSRs and Excess MSRs relating to recaptured loans. The prepayment rate and delinquency rate assumptions differ because of differences in the collateral characteristics, refinance potential and expected borrower behavior for original loans and loans which have been refinanced. The assumptions for recapture and discount rates when valuing MSRs and Excess MSRs and recapture agreements are based on historical recapture experience and market pricing. The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of our interests in the Agency MSRs, owned as of December 31, 2023 given several parallel shifts in the discount rate, prepayment rate and delinquency rate (dollars in thousands): Fair value at December 31, 2023 $ 5,333,013 Discount rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 5,757,003 $ 5,537,037 $ 5,143,139 $ 4,966,298 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 423,990 $ 204,024 $ (189,874) $ (366,715) Percentage 8.0 % 3.8 % (3.6) % (6.9) % Prepayment rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 5,563,978 $ 5,443,232 $ 5,232,375 $ 5,138,726 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 230,965 $ 110,219 $ (100,638) $ (194,287) Percentage 4.3 % 2.1 % (1.9) % (3.6) % Delinquency rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 5,421,739 $ 5,380,879 $ 5,278,297 $ 5,217,507 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 88,726 $ 47,866 $ (54,716) $ (115,506) Percentage 1.7 % 0.9 % (1.0) % (2.2) % The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of our interests in the Non-Agency MSRs, including MSR financing receivables, owned as of December 31, 2023 given several parallel shifts in the discount rate, prepayment rate and delinquency rate (dollars in thousands): Fair value at December 31, 2023 $ 678,913 Discount rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 748,078 $ 711,922 $ 648,681 $ 620,917 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 69,165 $ 33,009 $ (30,232) $ (57,996) Percentage 10.2 % 4.9 % (4.5) % (8.5) % Prepayment rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 717,516 $ 697,670 $ 661,047 $ 644,005 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 38,603 $ 18,757 $ (17,866) $ (34,908) Percentage 5.7 % 2.8 % (2.6) % (5.1) % Delinquency rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 712,026 $ 696,250 $ 660,167 $ 640,286 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 33,113 $ 17,337 $ (18,746) $ (38,627) Percentage 4.9 % 2.6 % (2.8) % (5.7) % The following table summarizes the estimated change in fair value of our interests in the Ginnie Mae MSRs, owned as of December 31, 2023 given several parallel shifts in the discount rate, prepayment rate and delinquency rate (dollars in thousands): Fair value at December 31, 2023 $ 2,394,012 Discount rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 2,584,318 $ 2,485,472 $ 2,309,232 $ 2,230,420 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 190,306 $ 91,460 $ (84,780) $ (163,592) Percentage 7.9 % 3.8 % (3.5) % (6.8) % Prepayment rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 2,535,281 $ 2,460,736 $ 2,332,802 $ 2,277,856 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 141,269 $ 66,724 $ (61,210) $ (116,156) Percentage 5.9 % 2.8 % (2.6) % (4.9) % Delinquency rate shift in % -20% -10% 10% 20% Estimated fair value $ 2,568,437 $ 2,484,912 $ 2,297,211 $ 2,195,842 Change in estimated fair value: Amount $ 174,425 $ 90,900 $ (96,801) $ (198,170) Percentage 7.3 % 3.8 % (4.0) % (8.3) % Each of the preceding sensitivity analyses is hypothetical and is provided for illustrative purposes only. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented. In particular, the results are calculated by stressing a particular economic assumption independent of changes in any other assumption; in practice, changes in one factor may result in changes in another, which might counteract or amplify the sensitivities. Also, changes in the fair value based on a 10% variation in an assumption generally may not be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Servicer Advance Investments Valuation Rithm Capital uses internal pricing models to estimate the future cash flows related to the servicer advance investments that incorporate significant unobservable inputs and include assumptions that are inherently subjective and imprecise. Rithm Capital’s estimations of future cash flows include the combined cash flows of all of the components that comprise the servicer advance investments: existing advances, the requirement to purchase future advances, the recovery of advances and the right to the basic fee component of the related MSR. The factors that most significantly impact the fair value include (i) the rate at which the servicer advance balance changes over the term of the investment, (ii) the UPB of the underlying loans with respect to which Rithm Capital has the obligation to make advances and owns the basic fee component of the related MSR which, in turn, is driven by prepayment rates and (iii) the percentage of delinquent loans with respect to which Rithm Capital owns the basic fee component of the related MSR. The valuation technique is based on discounted cash flows. Significant inputs used in the valuations included the assumptions used to establish the aforementioned cash flows and discount rates that market participants would use in determining the fair values of servicer advance investments. Significant increases (decreases) in the advance balance-to-UPB ratio, prepayment rate, delinquency rate, or discount rate, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the delinquency rate assumption is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the assumption used for the advance balance-to-UPB ratio. The following table summarizes certain information regarding the ranges and weighted averages of significant inputs used in valuing the servicer advance investments, including the basic fee component of the related MSRs: Significant Inputs Outstanding Prepayment Rate (A) Delinquency Mortgage Servicing Amount (B) Discount Collateral Weighted Average Maturity (Years) (C) December 31, 2023 1.1% – 2.1% (2.1%) 2.8% – 4.5% (4.4%) 3.3% – 25.8% (25.3%) 18.2 – 19.9 (19.8) bps 6.2% – 6.7% (6.2%) 21.8 December 31, 2022 1.2% – 2.2% (2.1%) 3.4% – 4.6% (4.6%) 3.4% – 19.6% (19.1%) 18.0 – 19.8 (19.8) bps 5.7% – 6.2% (5.7%) 21.9 (A) Projected annual weighted average lifetime voluntary and involuntary prepayment rate using a prepayment vector. (B) Mortgage servicing amount is net of 10.8 bps and 10.8 bps which represent the amounts Rithm Capital paid its servicers as a monthly servicing fee as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. (C) Weighted average maturity of the underlying residential mortgage loans in the pool. The valuation of the servicer advance investments also takes into account the performance fee paid to the servicer, which in the case of the Buyer is based on its equity returns and therefore is impacted by relevant financing assumptions such as LTV ratio and interest rate as well as advance-to-UPB ratio. All of the assumptions listed have some degree of market observability, based on Rithm Capital’s knowledge of the market, relationships with market participants, and use of common market data sources. The prepayment rate, the delinquency rate and the advance-to-UPB ratio projections are in the form of “curves” or “vectors” that vary over the expected life of the underlying mortgages and related servicer advances. Rithm Capital uses assumptions that generate its best estimate of future cash flows for each Servicer Advance Investment, including the basic fee component of the related MSR. When valuing servicer advance investments, Rithm Capital uses the following criteria to determine the significant inputs: • Servicer advance balance : Servicer advance balance projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the residential mortgage loan pool. The servicer advance balance projection is based on assumptions that reflect factors such as the borrower’s expected delinquency status, the rate at which delinquent borrowers re-perform or become current again, servicer modification offer and acceptance rates, liquidation timelines and the servicers’ stop advance and clawback policies. • Prepayment Rate : Prepayment rate projections are in the form of a “vector” that varies over the expected life of the pool. The prepayment vector specifies the percentage of the collateral balance that is expected to prepay voluntarily (i.e. pay off) and involuntarily (i.e. default) at each point in the future. The prepayment vector is based on assumptions that reflect macroeconomic conditions and factors such as the borrower’s FICO score, LTV ratio, debt-to-income ratio and vintage on a loan level basis. Rithm Capital considers collateral-specific prepayment experience when determining this vector. • Delinquency Rates : For existing mortgage pools, delinquency rates are based on the recent pool-specific experience of loans that missed recent mortgage payment(s) as well as loan- and borrower-specific characteristics such as the borrower’s FICO score, the LTV ratio, debt-to-income ratio, occupancy status, loan documentation, payment history and previous loan modifications. Rithm Capital believes the time period utilized provides a reasonable sample for projecting future delinquency rates while taking into account current market conditions. • Mortgage Servicing Amount : Mortgage servicing amounts are contractually determined on a pool-by-pool basis. Rithm Capital projects the weighted average mortgage servicing amount based on its projections for prepayment rates. • SOFR : The performance-based incentive fees on Mr. Cooper-serviced servicer advance investments portfolios are driven by SOFR-based factors. The SOFR curves used are widely used by market participants as reference rates for many financial instruments. • Discount Rate : The discount rates used by Rithm Capital are derived from market data on pricing of MSRs backed by similar collateral and the advances made thereon.
