Business Highlights:
(1)
Per diluted common share calculations for both GAAP Net Income and Earnings Available for Distribution are based on 568,262,330 and 565,927,074 weighted average diluted shares for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, respectively. The per share calculation of Book Value is based on 558,407,031 common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
(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)
Q2’26 annualized operating ROE is a non-GAAP measure. Q2’26 annualized operating ROE is calculated based on annualized pre-tax operating income of $307.6 million, excluding MSRs MTM loss, net of hedges, and other non-operating items of $(194.5) million, divided by the average Origination and Servicing segment ending equity of $5.7 billion.
(4)
AUM is estimated and refers to the value of assets for which Rithm Capital and its affiliates provide discretionary investment management or advisory services. AUM is generally calculated as the sum of: (i) the net asset value of managed accounts and open-ended funds or gross asset value of direct lending, 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.

The Company's consolidated balance sheets include assets and liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and certain other consolidated VIEs, including funds and collateralized financing entities 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.
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:
In computing earnings available for distribution, the Company excludes the items listed above because management does not consider them representative of the Company's core operating performance or of cash available for distribution to stockholders. These adjustments generally fall into three categories: items that are non-cash in nature; items that, while a part of the Company's recurring operations, are subject to significant variability and are therefore generally limited to a potential indicator of future economic performance; and items that relate to the acquisition or integration of investments and businesses rather than to ongoing 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. 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.
