	Nature of Business, Corporate Reorganization, Basis of Presentation and Material Transactions
	Nature of Business
	Nationstar Mortgage Holdings Inc. (Nationstar Inc. or the Company) is a Delaware corporation. Nationstar Inc. is a holding company that conducts no operating activities and owns no significant assets other than through its interests in its subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, Nationstar Inc. is engaged primarily in the servicing of residential mortgage loans for others and the origination and selling or securitization of single-family conforming mortgage loans to government-sponsored entities (GSE) or other third-party investors in the secondary market. Nationstar Mortgage LLC (Nationstar) is the Company's principal operating subsidiary.
	Corporate Reorganization
	On February 24, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for the offering of 19,166,667 shares of its common stock. The registration statement became effective on March 7, 2012. Under the terms of the offering, all of the equity interests in the Company transferred from FIF HE Holdings LLC (FIF) to two direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Company issued 19,166,667 shares of $0.01 par value common stock at an initial offering price of $14.00 per share. The offering transformed the Company into a publicly-traded company.
	In conjunction with the initial public offering of Nationstar Inc., Nationstar became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Nationstar Inc. Prior to the reorganization and initial public offering (Reorganization), Nationstar was a wholly-owned subsidiary of FIF. Nationstar Inc. was formed solely for the purpose of reorganizing the structure of FIF and Nationstar so that the common stock issuer was a corporation rather than a limited liability company. As such, investors own common stock rather than equity interests in a limited liability company. The Reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization under common control and, accordingly, there was no change in the basis of the assets and liabilities. As part of the Reorganization, FIF exchanged its equity in Nationstar for 70,000,000 shares of common stock of Nationstar Inc.
	Basis of Presentation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nationstar Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, and those variable interest entities (VIEs) where Nationstar Inc.'s wholly-owned subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. Nationstar Inc. applies the equity method of accounting to investments when the entity is not a VIE and Nationstar Inc. is able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and procedures of the entity but owns less than 50% of the voting interests. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Results of operations, assets and liabilities of VIEs are included from the date that Nationstar Inc. became the primary beneficiary through the date Nationstar Inc. ceases to be the primary beneficiary.
	The interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods have been included. The consolidated interim financial statements of Nationstar Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Nationstar Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 15, 2013. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Nationstar Inc. evaluated subsequent events through the date these interim consolidated financial statements were issued.
	Material Transactions

	In January 2013, Nationstar entered into a mortgage servicing rights purchase and sale agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with a financial institution which is being accounted for as an asset acquisition. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to purchase the rights to service approximately 1.3 million residential mortgage loans with a total UPB of approximately $215 billion, and approximately $5.8 billion of related servicing advance receivables. Approximately 47% of these loans (by UPB) are owned, insured or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, and the remaining 53% of these loans are non-conforming loans in private label securitizations.

	The aggregate purchase price was approximately $7.1 billion, which was expected to be funded through a combination of cash on hand, the proceeds of a co-investment by New Residential Investment Corp. (New Residential), previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newcastle Investment Corp., and certain funds managed by Fortress Investment Group LLC (Fortress), the proceeds of advance financing facilities, and/or other issuances of debt. On January 31, 2013, Nationstar closed on the MSRs and associated servicing advance receivables with respect to those loans owned, insured or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. On February 1, 2013, Nationstar closed on the MSRs and associated servicing advance receivables with respect to those loans owned, insured or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae. The Company boarded the acquired agency portfolio balance between February and June 2013. During the third quarter, Nationstar completed additional portions of the MSR purchase, closing on MSRs related to residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $62 billion, all of which are non-conforming loans in private label securitizations. Subject to customary closing conditions, the Company expects to close on the majority of the remaining MSRs in stages during the fourth quarter of 2013.

	Recent Accounting Developments
	Accounting Standards Update No 2013-01, Balance Sheet: Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2013-01) was created to address issues caused when implementing Accounting Standard Update 2011-11 into place and eliminate diversity in practice. The update clarifies that Accounting Standard Update 2011-11 applies to entities that are accounting for derivatives under ASC 815 including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are offset under ASC 210-20-45 or ASC 815-10-45, an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The Company adopted ASU 2013-01 on January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
	Accounting Standards Update No 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02) was issued to improve reporting of reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring entities to report the effect of any significant reclassifications on the respective line items on the income statement when the amount is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. Additionally, for items that are not required to be reclassified completely to net income, the Company will be required to cross reference other disclosures that provide additional information about the amounts. The information provided about amounts that are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income must be reported by component. The amendments of this update were effective beginning December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
	Accounting Standards Update No 2013-10, Derivatives and Hedging: Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (ASU 2013-10), was created to expand the benchmarks that can be used in hedge and derivative accounting. Currently, the only rates that can be used as benchmarks are the rate on Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (UST) and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) swap rate. This update provides that the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) can also be used as a benchmark rate in U.S. hedge accounting. The amendment update is effective for any hedging relationships entered into after July 17, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-10 did not have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
	Accounting Standards Update No 2013-11, Income Taxes: Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11), was created to eliminate the differences in presenting unrecognized tax benefits. This update specifies that unrecognized tax benefits should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. When a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward is not available at a reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes or the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendment update is effective as of December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

	Variable Interest Entities and Securitizations
	Nationstar has been the transferor in connection with a number of securitizations or asset-backed financing arrangements, from which Nationstar has continuing involvement with the underlying transferred financial assets. Nationstar aggregates these securitizations or asset-backed financing arrangements into two groups: 1) securitizations of residential mortgage loans, that were accounted for as sales and 2) financings accounted for as secured borrowings.
	On securitizations of residential mortgage loans, Nationstar’s continuing involvement typically includes acting as servicer for the mortgage loans held by the trust and holding beneficial interests in the trust. Nationstar’s responsibilities as servicer include, among other things, collecting monthly payments, maintaining escrow accounts, providing periodic reports and managing insurance in exchange for a contractually specified servicing fee.
	Nationstar also maintains various agreements with special purpose entities (SPEs), under which Nationstar transfers mortgage loans and/or servicing advance receivables on residential mortgage loans in exchange for cash. These SPEs issue debt supported by collections on the transferred mortgage loans and/or servicing advance receivables. These transfers do not qualify for sale treatment because Nationstar continues to retain control over the transferred assets. As a result, Nationstar accounts for these transfers as financings and continues to carry the transferred assets and recognizes the related liabilities on Nationstar’s consolidated balance sheets. Collections on the mortgage loans and/or servicing advance receivables pledged to the SPEs are used to repay principal and interest and to pay the expenses of the entity. The holders of these beneficial interests issued by these SPEs do not have recourse to Nationstar and can only look to the assets of the SPEs themselves for satisfaction of the debt.
	A variable interest entity (VIE) is an entity that has either a total equity investment that is insufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is the entity that, through its variable interests has both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
	Nationstar consolidates the SPEs created for the purpose of issuing debt supported by collections on loans and servicing advance receivables that have been transferred to the SPEs as VIEs, and Nationstar is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. Nationstar consolidates the assets and liabilities of the VIEs into its consolidated financial statements.

	A summary of the assets and liabilities of Nationstar’s transactions with VIEs included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 is presented in the following tables (in thousands):

Accounts Receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable consist primarily of advances made to securitization trusts and various taxing authorities, as required under various servicing agreements related to delinquent loans, which are ultimately repaid from the securitization trusts.

	Nationstar also acquires servicer advances in conjunction with the acquisition of mortgage servicing rights. Acquired servicer advances are recorded at their relative fair value amounts on the acquisition date, and any recorded discounts are accreted into interest income on a modified cost recovery method as the related servicer advances are recovered either through repayment from the borrower, liquidation of the underlying mortgage loans, or through a modification and recovery of the outstanding servicer advance balance from the securitization trust.
	Accounts receivable consist of the following (in thousands):



		September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	Servicer advances, net of purchase discount $93,354 and $70,754, respectively	$	7,004,323	$	2,800,690

	Other	111,819		81,407

	Total accounts receivable	$	7,575,612	$	3,043,606


	In conjunction with Nationstar's June 2012 acquisition of mortgage servicing rights from Aurora Bank FSB and Aurora Loan Services LLC (collectively Aurora), the Company acquired approximately $1.7 billion of servicer advances. Based on the acquisition date relative fair values of these acquired servicer advances, Nationstar recorded an $81.8 million purchase discount. In conjunction with the January 2013 Purchase Agreement, during the third quarter, Nationstar closed on certain MSRs and servicer advances with another financial institution. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company acquired approximately $3.6 billion of servicer advances. Based on the acquisition date relative fair values of these acquired servicer advances, Nationstar recorded a $60.1 million purchase discount. Nationstar accretes these purchase discounts into interest income as the related servicer advances are recovered. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, the Company accreted $11.3 million and $22.5 million, respectively, of the purchase discounts from recovered servicer advances. Nationstar did not record any accretion of purchase discounts from recovered servicer advances during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012.

	Mortgage Loans Held for Sale and Investment
	Mortgage loans held for sale
	Nationstar maintains a strategy of originating mortgage loan products primarily for the purpose of selling to GSEs or other third-party investors in the secondary market. Generally, all newly originated mortgage loans held for sale are delivered to third-party purchasers or securitized shortly after origination.
	Nationstar has elected to measure newly originated prime residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value, as permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. In addition, Nationstar as servicer may exercise certain rights on loans serviced for Ginnie Mae to repurchase any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including being delinquent greater than 90 days. For any such loans that we have repurchased from Ginnie Mae pools that we intend to securitize or sell in the future, Nationstar has elected to measure these repurchased residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. Nationstar estimates fair value by evaluating a variety of market indicators, including recent trades and outstanding forward sales commitments, calculated on an aggregate basis (see Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements). In connection with Nationstar's election to measure mortgage loans held for sale at fair value, Nationstar is not permitted to defer the loan origination fees, net of direct loan origination costs associated with these loans.
	During the third quarter 2013, Nationstar exercised clean up calls on several private-label securitizations for which it was the master servicer. The loans were initially acquired at par and are held for sale. These loans, totaling $195.0 million, are carried at lower of cost or market until sold.
	Mortgage loans held for sale consist of the following (in thousands):



		September 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
	Mortgage loans held for sale – unpaid principal balance	$	3,749,424			$	1,426,182

	Mark-to-market adjustment	119,036				54,355

	Total mortgage loans held for sale	$	3,868,460			$	1,480,537

	Nationstar had $121.7 million mortgage loans held for sale on nonaccrual status at September 30, 2013 and no mortgage loans on a nonaccrual status at December 31, 2012. The majority of loans on nonaccrual status are Ginnie Mae repurchased loans that are in the process of modification and are expected to be subject to sale to a GSE upon completion.
	A reconciliation of the changes in mortgage loans held for sale to the amounts presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the dates indicated is presented in the following table (in thousands):

	Mortgage loans held for investment, principally subject to nonrecourse debt - Legacy Assets, net
	Mortgage loans held for investment, principally subject to nonrecourse debt – Legacy Assets, net principally consist of nonconforming or subprime mortgage loans securitized which serve as collateral for the issued debt. These loans were transferred on October 1, 2009 from mortgage loans held for sale at fair value on the transfer date, as determined by the present value of expected future cash flows, with no valuation allowance recorded. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected and the investment in the loan is recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at transfer are not recognized as a yield adjustment or as a loss accrual or a valuation allowance. Increases in expected cash flows subsequent to the transfer are recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loans over the remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows subsequent to transfer are recognized as a valuation allowance.
	An allowance for loan losses is established by recording a provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income when management believes a loss has occurred on a loan held for investment. When management determines that a loan held for investment is partially or fully uncollectible, the estimated loss is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time the recovery is collected.

Nationstar may periodically modify the terms of any outstanding mortgage loans held for investment, principally subject to nonrecourse debt-Legacy Assets, net for loans that are either in default or in imminent default. Modifications often involve reduced payments by borrowers, modification of the original terms of the mortgage loans, forgiveness of debt and/or increased servicing advances. As a result of the volume of modification agreements entered into, the estimated average outstanding life in this pool of mortgage loans has been extended. Nationstar records interest income on the transferred loans on a level-yield method. To maintain a level-yield on these transferred loans over the estimated extended life, Nationstar reclassified approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Furthermore, Nationstar considers the decrease in principal, interest, and other cash flows expected to be collected arising from the transferred loans as an impairment.

Loan delinquency and loan-to-value ratio (LTV) are common credit quality indicators that Nationstar monitors and utilizes in its evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, of which the primary indicator of credit quality is loan delinquency. LTV refers to the ratio of comparing the loan’s unpaid principal balance to the property’s collateral value. Loan delinquencies and unpaid principal balances are updated monthly based upon collection activity. Collateral values are updated from third-party providers on a periodic basis. The collateral values used to derive the LTVs shown below were obtained at various dates, but the majority were within the last twenty-four months. For an event requiring a decision based at least in part on the collateral value, Nationstar takes its last known value provided by a third party and then adjusts the value based on the applicable home price index.

The following table provides the outstanding unpaid principal balance of Nationstar’s mortgage loans held for investment by credit quality indicators as of the dates indicated. Performing loans refer to loans that are less than 90 days delinquent. Non-performing loans refer to loans that are greater than 90 days delinquent.

Reverse mortgage interests

Reverse mortgages (known as Home Equity Conversion Mortgages or HECMs) provide seniors (62 and older) with a loan secured by their home. During 2012, Nationstar acquired reverse mortgage servicing rights and funded but not securitized advances from third-parties. Nationstar recorded the assets acquired and obligations assumed at relative fair value on the acquisition date, which included the funded advances and a servicing asset or liability, net of cash paid or received. Any premium or discount associated with the recording of the funded advances is accreted into interest income as the underlying HECMs are liquidated.

As part of the acquisition of the reverse mortgage servicing rights, Nationstar is obligated in its capacity as servicer to fund future borrower advances, which include fees paid to taxing authorities for borrowers' unpaid taxes and insurance, mortgage insurance premiums and payments made to borrowers for line of credit draws on reverse mortgages. In addition, Nationstar capitalizes the servicing fees it earns for servicing the reverse mortgage interests. All advances funded by Nationstar and the acquired funded advances are recorded as reverse mortgage interests on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Nationstar includes the cash outflow from funding these advances as operating activities and the securitization cash inflow as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

In February 2013, Nationstar acquired certain fixed and adjustable rate reverse mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance totaling $83.1 million for a purchase price of $50.2 million. In conjunction with this acquisition, Nationstar entered into an agreement with NIC Reverse Loan LLC, a subsidiary of Newcastle, to sell a participating interest amounting to 70% of the acquired reverse mortgage loans. Both Nationstar and NIC Reverse Loan LLC are entitled to the related percentage interest of all amounts received with respect to the reverse mortgage loans, net of payments of servicing fees and the reimbursement to Nationstar of servicing advances. Nationstar receives a fixed payment per loan for servicing these reverse mortgage loans. Nationstar records these reverse mortgage loans as reverse mortgage interests on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Nationstar periodically securitizes certain of these funded advances through issuance of Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Backed Securities (HMBS) to third-party security holders which are guaranteed by certain GSEs. These transfers of funded advances into HMBS are accounted for as secured borrowings with the HMBS presented as participating interest financing on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Nationstar receives a monthly servicing fee, which is recorded as either interest income or servicing fee income on the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income based upon if the related advance was either funded by or acquired by Nationstar. Nationstar accounts for outstanding and future reverse mortgage interests as financing receivables in accordance with ASC 310, Receivables. Interest income is accrued monthly based upon the borrower interest rate applied to the HECM outstanding principal balance of reverse mortgage interests. Interest income and other unpaid taxes and fees are capitalized as part of the outstanding principal balance. Interest expense on the participating interest financing is accrued monthly based upon the underlying HMBS rates and is recorded to interest expense in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
Reverse mortgage interests includes advances include due and payable advances, which are recovered upon the sale of the subject property, and defaulted advances that can be securitized and sold. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Nationstar had $1,225.9 million and $750.3 million, respectively, in outstanding reverse mortgage interests.When Nationstar determines that a loss on the advance balance is probable and that the carrying balance may be partially or fully uncollectible, an allowance for loan loss is established by recording a provision for loan losses in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.

	Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)
	MSRs at fair value
	Nationstar recognizes MSRs related to all existing residential mortgage loans transferred to a third party in a transfer that meets the requirements for sale accounting and for which the servicing rights are retained. Additionally, Nationstar may acquire the rights to service residential mortgage loans that do not relate to assets transferred by Nationstar through the purchase of these rights from third parties.
	Nationstar identifies MSRs related to all existing forward residential mortgage loans transferred to a third party in a transfer that meets the requirements for sale accounting or through the acquisition of rights to service forward residential mortgage loans that do not relate to assets transferred by Nationstar through the purchase of these rights from third parties as a class of MSRs. Nationstar applies fair value accounting to this class of MSRs, with all changes in fair value recorded as charges or credits to servicing fee income in accordance with ASC 860-50, Servicing Assets and Liabilities.

	MSRs arise from contractual agreements between Nationstar and investors in mortgage securities and mortgage loans. Nationstar records MSR assets when it sells loans on a servicing-retained basis, at the time of securitization or through the acquisition or assumption of the right to service a financial asset. Under these contracts, Nationstar performs loan servicing functions in exchange for fees and other remuneration.
	The fair value of the MSRs is based upon the present value of the expected future contractual cash flows related to servicing these loans. Nationstar receives a base servicing fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% annually on the remaining outstanding principal balances of the loans. The servicing fees are collected from investors. Nationstar determines the fair value of the MSRs by the use of a cash flow model that incorporates prepayment speeds, delinquencies, discount rate, ancillary fees and other assumptions (including servicing costs) that management believes are consistent with the assumptions other major market participants use in valuing the MSRs. The nature of the forward loans underlying the MSRs affects the assumptions that management believes other major market participants use in valuing the MSRs. Nationstar obtains third-party valuations for a majority of its MSRs to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculated by the cash flow model.
	Certain of the forward loans underlying the MSRs carried at fair value that are owned by Nationstar are credit sensitive in nature and the value of these MSRs are more likely to be affected from changes in credit losses than from interest rate movement. The remaining forward loans underlying Nationstar’s MSRs held at fair value are prime agency and government conforming residential mortgage loans for which the value of these MSRs are more likely to be affected from interest rate movement than changes in credit losses.
	Nationstar used the following weighted average assumptions in estimating the fair value of MSRs for the dates indicated:



	Credit Sensitive MSRs	30-Sep-13			December 31, 2012
	Discount rate	14.99	%		18.11	%
	Total prepayment speeds	20.93	%		22.42	%
	Expected weighted-average life	4.74 years			4.12 years
	Expected weighted-average life	4.74 years			4.12 years
	Credit losses	25.82	%		24.68	%
	Interest Rate Sensitive MSRs	30-Sep-13			December 31, 2012
	Discount rate	10.58	%		10.62	%
	Total prepayment speeds	10.05	%		17.08	%
	Expected weighted-average life	7.41 years			5.19 years
	Expected weighted-average life	7.41 years			5.19 years
	Credit losses	10.08	%		11.09	%

	In addition to the significant assumptions identified above that are utilized to value the MSR asset, Nationstar also makes numerous other assumptions. These assumptions are based on what market participants utilize when acquiring and valuing MSRs. These assumptions change periodically as market conditions change and occasionally assumptions that were previously considered to be insignificant change. During the third quarter 2013, Nationstar completed a portion of an MSR acquisition relating to non-conforming loans in private label securitizations (See Note 1). These MSRs are considered to be credit sensitive. In conjunction with recording these newly acquired MSRs and valuing the remaining MSRs included in private label securitizations, Nationstar included the expected ancillary income cash flows derived from disposition of the underlying collateral. Prior to the third quarter 2013, Nationstar considered these ancillary income cash flows to be insignificant in valuing its MSRs. Based on recent experience and level of activity, validated through discussions with certain third-party valuation firms and recent market activity, Nationstar believes that several key market participants now consider these cash flows in their valuations when acquiring and valuing MSR portfolios. This change in estimate increased pre-tax earnings in the third quarter 2013 by $94.5 million and earnings per share by $0.65.

	The activity of MSRs carried at fair value is as follows for the dates indicated (in thousands):

The following table shows the hypothetical effect on the fair value of the MSRs using various unfavorable variations of the expected levels of certain key assumptions used in valuing these assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors (e.g., a decrease in total prepayment speeds may result in an increase in credit losses), which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
MSRs at amortized cost
Additionally, Nationstar owns servicing rights for reverse mortgage loans. For this class of servicing rights, Nationstar applies the amortization method (i.e., lower of cost or market) with the capitalized cost of the MSRs amortized in proportion and over the period of the estimated net future servicing income and recognized as an adjustment to servicing fee income. The expected period of the estimated net servicing income is based, in part, on the expected prepayment period of the underlying reverse mortgages. This class of MSRs is periodically evaluated for impairment. For purposes of measuring impairment, MSRs are stratified based on predominant risk characteristics of the underlying serviced loans. These risk characteristics include loan type (fixed or adjustable rate), term and interest rate. Impairment, if any, represents the excess of amortized cost of an individual stratum over its estimated fair value and is recognized through a valuation allowance.
As of September 30, 2013, Nationstar owns the right to service certain reverse mortgage MSRs with an unpaid principal balance of $28.1 billion. The initial carrying amount of these MSRs is based on the relative fair value of the purchased assets and liabilities including reverse mortgage interests. These MSRs are subsequently accounted for using the amortization method. Amortization / accretion is recorded as service fee income on the statement of income and comprehensive income. Nationstar utilizes a variety of assumptions in assessing the fair value of its servicing assets or liabilities, with the primary assumptions including discount rates and the expected weighted average life. At September 30, 2013, no impairment was identified. Interest and servicing fees collected on reverse mortgage interests are included as a component of either interest or service fee income.

	For certain loans that Nationstar sold to Ginnie Mae, Nationstar as the issuer has the unilateral right to repurchase without Ginnie Mae’s prior authorization any individual loan in a Ginnie Mae securitization pool if that loan meets certain criteria, including being delinquent greater than 90 days. Once Nationstar has the unilateral right to repurchase the delinquent loan, Nationstar has effectively regained control over the loan, and under GAAP, must re-recognize the loan on its consolidated balance sheet and establish a corresponding repurchase liability regardless of Nationstar’s intention to repurchase the loan. Nationstar’s re-recognized loans included in other assets and the corresponding liability in payables and accrued liabilities was $98.1 million at September 30, 2013 and $72.2 million at December 31, 2012.
	In January 2013, Nationstar acquired Equifax Settlement Services LLC (ESS) for a total purchase price of $12.5 million. In an initial purchase price allocation, Nationstar has recorded $7.5 million of goodwill and other intangible assets in other assets on its consolidated balance sheet.
	Nationstar acquired Greenlight for an aggregate purchase price of $75.7 million, $65.7 million of which was paid on May 31, 2013, with the balance paid in September 2013. In its preliminary allocation, Nationstar has recorded $53.9 million of goodwill and other intangibles in other assets on its consolidated balance sheet.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	Nationstar enters into interest rate lock commitments (IRLCs) with prospective borrowers. These commitments are carried at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. ASC 815 clarifies that the expected net future cash flows related to the associated servicing of a loan should be included in the measurement of all written loan commitments that are accounted for at fair value through earnings. The estimated fair values of IRLCs are based on the fair value of the related mortgage loans which is based on observable market data and is recorded in derivative financial instruments within the consolidated balance sheets. The initial and subsequent changes in the value of IRLCs are a component of gain on mortgage loans held for sale.
	Nationstar actively manages the risk profiles of its IRLCs and mortgage loans held for sale on a daily basis. To manage the price risk associated with IRLCs, Nationstar enters into forward sales of MBS in an amount equal to the portion of the IRLC expected to close, assuming no change in mortgage interest rates. In addition, to manage the interest rate risk associated with mortgage loans held for sale, Nationstar enters into forward sale commitments to deliver mortgage loan inventory to investors. The estimated fair values of forward sales of MBS and forward sale commitments are based on exchange prices or the dealer market price and are recorded as a component of derivative financial instruments and mortgage loans held for sale, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The initial and subsequent changes in value on forward sales of MBS and forward sale commitments are a component of gain on mortgage loans held for sale.
	Nationstar may occasionally enter into contracts with other mortgage lenders to purchase residential mortgage loans at a future date, which are referred to as Loan Purchase Commitments (LPCs). LPCs are accounted for as derivatives under ASC 815 and recorded at fair value in derivative financial instruments on Nationstar's consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent changes in LPCs are recorded as a charge or credit to gain on mortgage loans held for sale.
	Periodically, Nationstar has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge the interest payment on the warehouse debt and securitization of its mortgage loans held for sale. These interest rate swap agreements generally require Nationstar to pay a fixed interest rate and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. Unless designated as an accounting hedge, Nationstar records gains and losses on interest rate swaps as a component of gain/(loss) on interest rate swaps and caps in Nationstar’s consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Unrealized losses on undesignated interest rate derivatives are separately disclosed under operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815 are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, with any changes in fair value related to the effective portion of the hedge being recorded as an adjustment to other comprehensive income. To qualify as a cash flow hedge, the hedge must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be formally designated at hedge inception. Nationstar considers a hedge to be highly effective if the change in fair value of the derivative hedging instrument is within 80% to 125% of the change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk. Ineffective portions of the cash flow hedge are reflected in earnings as they occur as a component of interest expense.
	Total gain or loss recognized in income on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, a loss was recognized for approximately $0.4 million in other comprehensive income. No gain or loss was recognized in other comprehensive income for the same period ended September 30, 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total gain recognized in income on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $0.2 million and $1.4 million of gain recognized in other comprehensive income. No gain or loss was recognized in both income and other comprehensive income for the same period ending September 30, 2012.

	Associated with the Company's derivatives is $194.8 million and $10.9 million in collateral deposits on derivative instruments recorded in other assets on the Company's balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

	Servicing Segment Notes Payable
	MBS advance financing facility - Nationstar has a one-year committed facility agreement with a GSE, under which Nationstar may transfer to the GSE certain servicing advance receivables against the transfer of funds by the GSE. This facility has the capacity to purchase up to $775.0 million in eligible servicing advance receivables. The interest rate is based on LIBOR plus a spread of 2.50% to 4.00%. The maturity date of this facility is December 2013.

Nonrecourse Debt–Legacy Assets
In November 2009, Nationstar completed the securitization of approximately $222.0 million of ABS, which was structured as a secured borrowing. This structure resulted in Nationstar carrying the securitized loans as mortgages on Nationstar’s consolidated balance sheet and recognizing the asset-backed certificates acquired by third parties as nonrecourse debt, totaling approximately $92.1 million and $100.6 million at September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively. The principal and interest on these notes are paid using the cash flows from the underlying mortgage loans, which serve as collateral for the debt. The interest rate paid on the outstanding securities is 7.50%, which is subject to an available funds cap. The total outstanding principal balance on the underlying mortgage loans serving as collateral for the debt was approximately $311.0 million and $336.9 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Accordingly, the timing of the principal payments on this nonrecourse debt is dependent on the payments received on the underlying mortgage loans. The unpaid principal balance on the outstanding notes was $107.1 million and $117.1 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Excess Spread Financing Debt at Fair Value
In conjunction with Nationstar's acquisition of certain MSRs on various pools of residential mortgage loans (the Portfolios), Nationstar has entered into sale and assignment agreements which are treated as financings with certain entities formed by New Residential in which New Residential and/or certain funds managed by Fortress own an interest. Nationstar, in transactions accounted for as financing arrangements, sold to such entities the right to receive a specified percentage of the excess cash flow generated from the Portfolios after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee per loan. In September 2013, Nationstar increased New Residential's specified percentage of the excess cash flows in several of the Portfolios for $54.5 million.
Nationstar retains all ancillary income associated with servicing the Portfolios and the remaining portion of the excess cash flow after receipt of the fixed basic servicing fee. Nationstar continues to be the servicer of the Portfolios and provides all servicing and advancing functions. New Residential has no prior or ongoing obligations associated with the Portfolios.
Contemporaneous with the above, Nationstar entered into refinanced loan agreements with New Residential. Should Nationstar refinance any loan in the Portfolios, subject to certain limitations, Nationstar will be required to transfer the new loan or a replacement loan of similar economic characteristics into the Portfolios. The new or replacement loan will be governed by the same terms set forth in the sale and assignment agreement described above.

Nationstar has elected fair value accounting for these financing agreements.The total carrying amount of the outstanding excess spread financing agreements was $946.6 million and $288.1 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The total outstanding principal balance was $896.4 million and $283.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

The following table shows the hypothetical effect on fair value of excess spread financing using various unfavorable variations of the expected levels of certain key assumptions used in valuing these liabilities at the dates indicated (in thousands):



	Discount Rate							Total Prepayment						Credit Losses
								Speeds
	100 bps			200 bps				10%			20%			10%		20%
	Adverse			Adverse				Adverse			Adverse			Adverse		Adverse
	Change			Change				Change			Change			Change		Change
September 30, 2013
Excess spread financing	$	22,105		$	49,635			$	33,115		$	60,331		$	15,531	$	21,802

December 31, 2012
Excess spread financing	$	7,978		$	16,404			$	10,654		$	22,240		$	5,538	$	11,075


As the fair value on the outstanding excess spread financing is linked to the future economic performance of certain acquired MSRs, any adverse changes in the acquired MSRs would inherently benefit the net carrying amount of the excess spread financing, while any beneficial changes in certain key assumptions used in valuing the acquired MSRs would negatively impact the net carrying amount of the excess spread financing.
These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be evaluated with care. The effect on fair value of a 10% variation in assumptions generally cannot be determined because the relationship of the change in assumptions to the fair value may not be linear. Additionally, the impact of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value is calculated while holding other assumptions constant. In reality, changes in one factor may lead to changes in other factors (e.g., a decrease in total prepayment speeds may result in an increase in credit losses), which could impact the above hypothetical effects.
Participating Interest Financing
Participating interest financing represents the issuance of pools of Home Equity Conversion Mortgage Backed Securities (HMBS) to third-party security holders which are guaranteed by certain GSEs. Nationstar has accounted for the transfer of these advances in the related Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM) loans as secured borrowings, retaining the initial reverse mortgage interests on its consolidated balance sheet, and recording the pooled HMBS as participating interest financing liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Monthly cash flows generated from the HECM loans are used to service the HMBS. The interest rate is based on the underlying HMBS rate with a range of 0.14% to 7.02%. The participating interest financing was $996.3 million and $580.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Financial Covenants
As of September 30, 2013, management believes Nationstar was in compliance with its financial covenants on its borrowing arrangements and credit facilities. These financial covenants generally relate to Nationstar’s tangible net worth, liquidity reserves, and leverage requirements.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	Fair Value Measurements
	ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard applies when GAAP requires or allows assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and, therefore, does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstance.
	ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy based on the level of observable inputs used in the measurement of fair value (e.g., Level 1 representing quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; Level 2 representing values using observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1; and Level 3 representing estimated values based on significant unobservable inputs). In addition, ASC 820 requires an entity to consider all aspects of nonperformance risk, including its own credit standing, when measuring the fair value of a liability. Under ASC 820, related disclosures are segregated for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on the level used within the hierarchy to determine their fair values.
	The following describes the methods and assumptions used by Nationstar in estimating fair values:
	Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash – The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
	Mortgage Loans Held for Sale – Nationstar originates mortgage loans in the U.S. that it intends to sell to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae (collectively, the Agencies). Additionally, Nationstar holds mortgage loans that it intends to sell into the secondary markets via whole loan sales or securitizations. Nationstar measures newly originated prime residential mortgage loans held for sale at fair value. In addition, the Company may acquire mortgage loans held for sale from various securitization trusts for which it acts as servicer through the exercise of various clean-up call options as permitted through the respective pooling and servicing agreements. The Company has elected to account for these loans at the lower of cost or market.
	Mortgage loans held for sale are typically pooled together and sold into certain exit markets, depending upon underlying attributes of the loan, such as agency eligibility, product type, interest rate, and credit quality. Mortgage loans held for sale are valued using a market approach by utilizing either: (i) the fair value of securities backed by similar mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors to approximate the fair value of a whole mortgage loan, including the value attributable to mortgage servicing and credit risk, (ii) current commitments to purchase loans or (iii) recent observable market trades for similar loans, adjusted for credit risk and other individual loan characteristics. As these prices are derived from market prices, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.
	Mortgage Loans Held for Investment, principally subject to nonrecourse debt – Legacy Assets – Nationstar determines the fair value of loans held for investment, principally subject to nonrecourse debt – Legacy Assets using internally developed valuation models. These valuation models estimate the exit price Nationstar expects to receive in the loan’s principal market. Although Nationstar utilizes and gives priority to observable market inputs such as interest rates and market spreads within these models, Nationstar typically is required to utilize internal inputs, such as prepayment speeds, credit losses, and discount rates. These internal inputs require the use of judgment by Nationstar and can have a significant impact on the determination of the loan’s fair value. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Mortgage Servicing Rights – Fair Value – Nationstar estimates the fair value of its forward MSRs using a process that combines the use of a discounted cash flow model and analysis of current market data to arrive at an estimate of fair value. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions being mortgage prepayment speeds, discount rates, ancillary fees and credit losses. These assumptions are generated and applied based on collateral stratifications including product type, remittance type, geography, delinquency and coupon dispersion. These assumptions require the use of judgment by Nationstar and can have a significant impact on the determination of the MSR’s fair value. Periodically, management obtains third party valuations of a portion of the portfolio to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculations provided by the cash flow model. Because of the nature of the valuation inputs, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Reverse Mortgage Interests – Nationstar’s reverse mortgage interests consist of fees paid to taxing authorities for borrowers' unpaid taxes and insurance, and payments made to borrowers for line of credit draws on reverse mortgages. These advances include due and payable advances, which are recovered upon the foreclosure and sale of the subject property, and defaulted advances that can be securitized. Nationstar estimates the fair value using a market approach by utilizing the fair value of securities backed by similar advances on reverse mortgage loans, adjusted for certain factors. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.

	REO – Nationstar determines the fair value of REO properties through the use of third-party appraisals and broker price opinions, adjusted for estimated selling costs. Such estimated selling costs include realtor fees and other anticipated closing costs. These values are adjusted to take into account factors that could cause the actual liquidation value of foreclosed properties to be different than the appraised values. This valuation adjustment is based upon Nationstar’s historical experience with REO. REO is classified as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Derivative Instruments – Nationstar enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments as part of its hedging strategy. The majority of these derivatives are exchange-traded or traded within highly active dealer markets. In order to determine the fair value of these instruments, Nationstar utilizes the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract; therefore, these contracts are classified as Level 2. In addition, Nationstar enters into IRLCs and LPCs with prospective borrowers and other loan originators. These commitments are carried at fair value based on the fair value of related mortgage loans which are based on observable market data. Nationstar adjusts the outstanding IRLCs with prospective borrowers based on an expectation that it will be exercised and the loan will be funded. IRLCs and LPCs are recorded in derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets. These commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.
	Notes Payable – Notes payable consists of outstanding borrowings on Nationstar's warehouse and advance financing facilities. As the underlying warehouse and advance finance facilities bear interest at rates that are periodically adjusted based on a market index, the carrying amount reported on the consolidated balance sheet approximates fair value. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	Unsecured Senior Notes – The fair value of unsecured senior notes is based on quoted market prices and is considered Level 1 from the market observable inputs used to determine fair value.
	Nonrecourse Debt – Legacy Assets – Nationstar estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. These prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices, and are classified as Level 3.
	Excess Spread Financing – Nationstar estimates fair value based on the present value of future expected discounted cash flows with the discount rate approximating current market value for similar financial instruments. The cash flow assumptions and prepayment assumptions used in the model are based on various factors, with the key assumptions at September 30, 2013 being mortgage prepayment speeds of 11.7%, average life of 4.8 years, and discount rate of 14.3%. Key assumptions at December 31, 2012, were mortgage prepayment speeds of 14.0%, average life of 4.2 years and discount rate of 15.0%. Changes in fair value of the excess spread financing are recorded as a component of service fee income in Nationstar's consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. As these prices are derived from a combination of internally developed valuation models and quoted market prices based on the value of the underlying MSRs, Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 3 in the fair value disclosures.
	The range of various assumptions used in Nationstar's valuation of excess spread financing were as follows:


	Excess Spread financing	Prepayment Speeds	Average	Discount
			Life (years)	Rate
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2013
	Low	5.60%	3.3 years	10.10%
	High	19.00%	5.8 years	20.00%
	For the year ended December 31, 2012
	Low	9.40%	3.0 years	13.60%
	High	22.40%	4.5 years	15.50%
	Participating Interest Financing – Nationstar estimates the fair value using a market approach by utilizing the fair value of securities backed by similar participating interests in reverse mortgage loans. Nationstar classifies these valuations as Level 2 in the fair value disclosures.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]	'
Shareholders' Equity	'
	Share-Based Compensation
	Share-based compensation is recognized in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This guidance requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, based on the fair values. The amount of compensation is measured at the fair value of the awards when granted and this cost is expensed over the required service period, which is normally the vesting period of the award.
	Nationstar Inc. has adopted the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (2012 Plan), that offers equity-based awards to certain key employees of Nationstar, consultants, and non-employee directors. In connection with the initial public offering, on March 7, 2012, Nationstar Inc. made grants of restricted stock to management of 1,191,117 shares and also to non-employee directors of 85,716 shares. As permitted under the 2012 Plan, certain participants have surrendered a portion of their Nationstar Inc. common stock to Nationstar Inc. in payment of a portion of their federal tax withholdings on their vested shares. Participants paid the remainder of their required tax payments with cash. As a result of the above activity, 168,283 shares of Nationstar Inc. common shares are held in treasury at their cost of $6.6 million.
	The following table summarizes information about our restricted stock as of September 30, 2013 under the 2012 Plan (shares in thousands):


		Shares		Grant Date Fair Value		Remaining Contractual Term
	Restricted stock granted in conjunction with the initial public offering in March 2012	1,277		$14.00		1.4
	Grants issued subsequent to public offering	69		$29.95		1.8
	Forfeited	-53

		2013	2014	2015	2016
	Restricted stock expected to vest	—	417	417	83
	In addition to the 2012 Plan, Nationstar management also had interests in certain of the predecessor parent company FIF’s restricted preferred units which fully vested on June 30, 2012. The weighted average grant date fair value of these units was $4.23. In conjunction with the final vesting under this plan, certain participants surrendered a portion of their Nationstar Inc. common stock to Nationstar in payment of a portion of their federal tax withholdings on their vested shares. The participants paid the remainder of their required tax payments with cash. As a result of the above activity, Nationstar held 212,156 shares of Nationstar Inc. common shares at their cost of $4.6 million. These shares were reflected in Nationstar Inc.'s consolidated balance sheet as common shares held by subsidiary, a contra equity account. The shares were cancelled by the Company during the third quarter of 2013.
	Total compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the 2012 Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $2.4 million and $8.1 million, respectively. Total compensation expense, net of forfeitures, for the 2012 Plan and the predecessor plan recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Nationstar expects to recognize $2.4 million of compensation expense in the last three months of 2013, $5.1 million in 2014, $1.7 million in 2015 and $0.2 million in 2016.

	Earnings Per Share

	Net income per share is computed under the provisions of ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares plus the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Dilutive potential common shares represent outstanding restricted stock.

	Capital Requirements

	Certain Agencies have minimum adjusted net worth (capital) requirements to be an approved seller servicer for the applicable Agency. To the extent that these requirements are not met, the applicable Agency may, at its option, utilize a range of remedies ranging from sanctions, suspension or termination of the selling and servicing agreements, which would prohibit future origination or securitization of mortgage loans or being an approved seller servicer for the applicable Agency. Based on our calculations of these net worth requirements and discussions with certain Agencies, Nationstar can originate and securitize mortgage loans and is an approved seller servicer.
	Additionally, Nationstar is required to maintain a base minimum tangible net worth of at least $400.0 million as of each quarter-end related to its outstanding Master Repurchase Agreements on its outstanding repurchase facilities. As of September 30, 2013, Nationstar was in compliance with these minimum tangible net worth requirements.

	Litigation and Regulatory Matters
	In the ordinary course of business, Nationstar, Inc. and its affiliates are routinely named as defendants in or parties to pending or threatened legal actions or proceedings, including putative class actions and other litigation. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of consumer protection, securities, employment, contract or other laws, including the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Additionally, along with others in our industry, we are subject to repurchase and indemnification claims, and may continue to receive such claims in the future, relating to the sale of mortgage loans and/or the servicing of mortgage loans, included in securitizations. We are also subject to legal actions or proceedings related to loss sharing and indemnification provisions of our various acquisitions. Certain of the actual legal actions and proceedings include claims for substantial compensatory, punitive and/or statutory damages or claims for an indeterminate amount of damages. The certification of any putative class action could substantially increase our exposure to damages.
	Further, in the ordinary course of business the Company and its subsidiaries can be or are involved in governmental and regulatory examinations, information gathering requests, investigations and proceedings (both formal and informal), regarding the Company’s business, certain of which may result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, injunctions or other relief. Such inquiries may include those into servicer foreclosure processes and procedures, lender-placed insurance and originations. In particular, ongoing and other legal proceedings brought under state consumer protection statutes may result in a separate fine for each violation of the statute, which, particularly in the case of class action lawsuits, could result in damages substantially in excess of the amounts we earned from the underlying activities and that could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial position.

	The Company seeks to resolve all litigation and regulatory matters in the manner management believes is in the best interest of the Company and contests liability, allegations of wrongdoing and, where applicable, the amount of damages or scope of any penalties or other relief sought as appropriate in each pending matter. On at least a quarterly basis, the Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies in connection with outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings utilizing the latest information available. Where available information indicates that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the Company can reasonably estimate the amount of that loss an accrued liability is established. The actual costs of resolving these proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued.

	When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. As a litigation or regulatory matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and estimable. Once the matter is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability and record a corresponding amount to litigation related expense. The Company will continue to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established. Litigation related expense, which includes the fees paid to external legal service providers, of $6.2 million and $14.2 million were included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and $3.5 million and $9.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, were included in general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.
	For a number of matters for which a loss is probable or reasonably possible in future periods, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, the Company may be able to estimate a range of possible loss. In determining whether it is possible to provide an estimate of loss or range of possible loss, the Company reviews and evaluates its material litigation and regulatory matters on an ongoing basis, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter. For those matters for which an estimate is possible, management currently believes the aggregate range of reasonably possible loss is $1.0 million to $4.8 million in excess of the accrued liability (if any) related to those matters. This estimated range of possible loss is based upon currently available information and is subject to significant judgment, numerous assumptions and known and unknown uncertainties. The matters underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary substantially from the current estimate. Those matters for which an estimate is not possible are not included within the estimated range. Therefore, this estimated range of possible loss represents what management believes to be an estimate of possible loss only for certain matters meeting these criteria. It does not represent the Company's maximum loss exposure.
	Based on current knowledge, and after consultation with counsel, management believes that the current legal accrued liability is appropriate, and the amount of any incremental liability arising from these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of the Company, although the outcome of such proceedings could be material to the Company’s operating results and cash flows for a particular period depending, on among other things, the level of the Company’s revenues or income for such period. However, in the event of significant developments on existing cases, it is possible that the ultimate resolution, if unfavorable, may be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

	On September 20, 2013, the Company received a letter from the New York State Department of Financial Services with respect to three consumer complaints involving loans that were not funded on their scheduled closing dates that have subsequently funded. The letter requires that we provide certain financial and other information regarding the monthly funding of our loan originations. We intend to comply with this request for information. We do not expect this development to have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial position.

	Loan and Other Commitments
	Nationstar enters into IRLCs with prospective borrowers whereby the Company commits to lend a certain loan amount under specific terms and interest rates to the borrower. Nationstar also enters into LPCs with prospective sellers. These loan commitments are treated as derivatives and are carried at fair value (See Note 11 - Derivative Financial Instruments).

	Nationstar has certain MSRs related to approximately $28.1 billion of unpaid principal balance in reverse mortgage loans. As servicer for these reverse mortgage loans, among other things, the Company is obligated to make advances to the loan customers as required. At September 30, 2013, the Company’s maximum unfunded advance obligation related to these MSRs was approximately $4.4 billion. Upon funding any portion of these advances, the Company expects to securitize and sell the advances in transactions that will be accounted for as financing arrangements.

	Other Contingencies
	In June 2011, Nationstar entered into an agreement to subservice loans for a financial services company. Nationstar began to subservice these loans in July and August 2011. This subservicing agreement included, among other things, a loss incentive and sharing arrangement. Under this arrangement, Nationstar can earn incentive fees of up to $2.5 million for successfully mitigating losses within a specific subserviced population of loans. This incentive fee would be recognized when earned. For this same population of loans, Nationstar is subject to loss sharing under certain conditions. Should losses in this population of loans exceed a specified level, Nationstar would be required to share a portion of the losses on such loans up to a maximum of $10.0 million. Losses under this arrangement would be recognized at the point at which Nationstar determines that a liability is expected to be incurred. At no time since June 2011 has Nationstar estimated that a liability existed under this agreement. In September 2013, the agreement was amended, and among other things, this arrangement was eliminated.

	. Business Segment Reporting
	Nationstar currently conducts business in two separate operating segments: Servicing and Originations. The Servicing segment provides loan servicing on Nationstar’s total servicing portfolio, including the collection of principal and interest payments and the assessment of ancillary fees related to the servicing of mortgage loans. The Originations segment involves the origination, packaging, and sale of agency mortgage loans into the secondary markets via whole loan sales or securitizations. Nationstar reports the activity not related to either operating segment in the Legacy Portfolio and Other column. The Legacy Portfolio and Other column includes primarily all subprime mortgage loans originated in the latter portion of 2006 and during 2007 or acquired from Nationstar’s predecessor.
	Nationstar’s segments are based upon Nationstar’s organizational structure which focuses primarily on the services offered. The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of Nationstar except for 1) expenses for consolidated back-office operations and general overhead-type expenses such as executive administration and accounting, 2) revenues generated on inter-segment services performed, and 3) interest expense on unsecured senior notes. Expenses are allocated to individual segments based on the estimated value of services performed, including estimated utilization of square footage and corporate personnel as well as the equity invested in each segment. Revenues generated or inter-segment services performed are valued based on similar services provided to external parties.
	To reconcile to Nationstar’s consolidated results, certain inter-segment revenues and expenses are eliminated in the “Eliminations” column in the following tables.
	The following tables are a presentation of financial information by segment for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Disclosures Related to Transactions with Affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC	'
	Disclosures Related to Transactions with Affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC
	Nationstar maintains a marketing agreement with Springleaf Home Equity, Inc., Springleaf General Financial Services of Arkansas, Inc. and MorEquity, Inc. (collectively “Springleaf”), each of which are indirectly owned by investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Pursuant to this agreement, Nationstar markets mortgage origination products to customers of Springleaf, and is compensated by the origination fees of loans that Nationstar refinances.
	Additionally, Nationstar has several agreements to act as the loan subservicer for Springleaf totaling $3.1 billion for which Nationstar receives a monthly per loan subservicing fee and other performance incentive fees subject to the agreements with Springleaf. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Nationstar recognized revenue of $2.1 million and $2.4 million, respectively in additional servicing and other performance incentive fees related to these portfolios. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Nationstar recognized revenue of $6.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively, in additional servicing and other performance incentive fees related to these portfolios. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Nationstar had an outstanding receivable from Springleaf of $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, which was included as a component of accounts receivable.
	Nationstar is the loan servicer for three securitized loan portfolios managed by Newcastle, which is managed by an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC, for which Nationstar receives a monthly net servicing fee equal to 0.50% per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the portfolios, which was $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Nationstar received servicing fees and other performance incentive fees of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Nationstar received servicing fees and other performance incentive fees of $3.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
	Additionally, Nationstar has entered into several agreements with certain entities formed by New Residential, in which New Residential and/or certain funds managed by Fortress own an interest (each a "New Residential Entity"), where Nationstar sold to the related New Residential Entity the right to receive a portion of the excess cash flow generated from certain acquired MSRs after receipt of a fixed basic servicing fee per loan. Nationstar retains all ancillary income associated with servicing such MSRs and the remaining portion of the excess cash flow after receipt of the fixed basic servicing fee. Nationstar is the servicer of the loans and provides all servicing and advancing functions for the portfolio. The related New Residential Entity does not have prior or ongoing obligations associated with these MSR portfolios. Furthermore, should Nationstar refinance any loan in such portfolios, subject to certain limitations, Nationstar will be required to transfer the new loan or a replacement loan of similar economic characteristics into the portfolios. The new or replacement loan will be governed by the same terms set forth in the agreements described above. In September 2013, Nationstar increased New Residential's specified percentage of the excess cash flows of several of the portfolios for an additional $54.5 million
	The fair value on the outstanding liability related to these agreements was $946.6 million and $288.1 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

	In February 2013, Nationstar acquired certain fixed and adjustable rate reverse mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance totaling $83.1 million for a purchase price of $50.2 million. In conjunction with this acquisition, Nationstar entered into an agreement with NIC Reverse Loan LLC, a subsidiary of Newcastle, to sell a participating interest amounting to 70% of the acquired reverse mortgage loans. Both Nationstar and NIC Reverse Loan LLC are entitled to the related percentage interest of all amounts received with respect to the reverse mortgage loans, net of payments of servicing fees and the reimbursement to Nationstar of servicing advances. Nationstar receives a fixed payment per loan for servicing these reverse mortgage loans. Nationstar records these reverse mortgage loans as reverse mortgage interests on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

	Related Party Disclosure
	In March 2011, Nationstar entered into a limited partnership agreement with ANC Acquisition LLC (ANC). ANC was the parent company of National Real Estate Information Services, LP (NREIS), which through the ANC partnership Nationstar held a non-controlling interest in NREIS, an ancillary real estate services and vendor management company that directly and indirectly provided title agency settlement or valuation services for loan originations and default management. As Nationstar was able to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the policies and procedures of the entity, and Nationstar owned less than 50% of the voting interests, Nationstar applied the equity method of accounting. In March 2012 as part of the initial public offering restructuring, Nationstar assumed FIF’s 13% ownership in NREIS, increasing the total Nationstar investment to 35%. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, Nationstar disbursed no servicing-related advances and $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Nationstar disbursed servicing-related advances of $0.01 million and $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Through the third quarter of 2012, Nationstar had recognized its portion of NREIS' loss on equity method investment of $1.3 million. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the management of NREIS made the decision to wind down its operations due to continuing poor financial results. Because of the decision to wind down operations and the financial condition of NREIS, Nationstar recorded additional losses amounting to $9.0 million. In addition to its initial investment, Nationstar, during May 2012, advanced NREIS $2.0 million for future services. Nationstar determined that these deposits would not be recovered and fully impaired this additional deposit. In order to effect an orderly wind down of the operation, Nationstar, together with the majority owners of ANC, agreed to fund a portion of the expected wind down costs. As such, Nationstar recorded $2.3 million of losses in excess of its investment at December 31, 2012. There were no losses incurred for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	24. Subsequent Events

	In November 2013, we completed another portion of the MSR purchase (see Note 1). We closed on MSRs related to residential mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of approximately $9.7 billion, all of which are non-conforming loans in private label securitizations.
	In September 2013, we entered into an agreement with a financial services company to acquire certain MSRs. These MSRs relate to loans for which we are currently subservicing for that financial services company. The UPB of these loans amount to approximately $14.6 billion at October 31, 2013. This agreement is subject to certain closing conditions that have not been completely satisfied. In November 2013, a portion of the agency portfolio was closed. The remainder is expected to be closed during the fourth quarter of 2013.
	Throughout the third quarter, the mortgage industry continued to experience a decline in refinancings and origination volume as a result of an increase in interest rates. In an effort to capitalize on the growing size and profitability of our core servicing business, on November 1, 2013, our management committed to focus on its consumer-direct origination channel and will continue to view the correspondent channel as a source of servicing and purchase money opportunities. We signed a binding Letter of Intent with a third-party mortgage company to sell our non-core wholesale and distributed retail origination channels, with the transaction expected to close later this month. In addition, due to increased productivity per employee and economies of scale in its Servicing Segment, we are consolidating certain locations. We expect to reduce our total workforce by approximately 1,100 positions, which includes employees that are expected to join the third-party mortgage company. We expect to record a fourth quarter charge of approximately $16 million to $21 million for estimated employee termination and other compensation costs, lease terminations and other related costs. This estimate is based on various factors including whether the transaction with the third-party mortgage company is completed, with the low end of the range assuming the transaction with the third-party mortgage company closes.

	Acquisition

	On May 31, 2013, Nationstar acquired the loan origination operations and certain assets of Greenlight Financial Services, a residential mortgage originator (Greenlight), which is being accounted for as a business combination. The assets acquired from Greenlight consist of certain personal property and equipment, intellectual property (including the Greenlight trademark), prepaid expenses and unfunded loan pipeline. Certain post-closing liabilities related to these assets were also assumed as part of the transaction. The aggregate purchase price for these assets was approximately $75.7 million, $65.7 million of which was paid on May 31, 2013, with the balance paid in September 2013. In a separate transaction, Nationstar acquired approximately $98.0 million in UPB of mortgage loans from Greenlight. These loans were purchased in the normal course of business and have been or will be sold. The cash flows from the loan purchase has been included in operating activities. Additionally, in October 2013, Nationstar acquired certain MSRs from Greenlight for an additional $2.2 million.

	Greenlight, a leading direct-to-consumer originator based in Irvine, California, utilizes a high-volume, rapid turn time funding model with a focus on providing exceptional customer service. Greenlight has proven expertise in television, radio, internet and other mass marketing media and will diversify Nationstar's origination channels and capabilities. The acquisition of Greenlight provides additional capacity to process HARP and recapture loans while creating long-term servicing assets for Nationstar.

	The table below presents the preliminary purchase price allocation of the estimated acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as of May 31, 2013 (in thousands):



	Derivative financial instruments		$	18,101

	Equipment		3,561

	Prepaid expenses and other assets		700

	Payables and accrued liabilities		(589		)
	Net assets acquired		21,773

	Estimated purchase price		75,700

	Goodwill and intangibles		$	53,927


	To determine the fair value of derivative financial instruments, Nationstar utilized the exchange price or dealer market price for the particular derivative contract which the company classifies as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy (See Note 15 - Fair Value Measurements). The remaining assets acquired and liabilities assumed were estimated using unobservable inputs, which the Company classifies as Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.

	The following table presents the unaudited pro forma combined revenues and net income as if Greenlight net assets had been acquired on January 1, 2012 (in thousands):



		For the three months ended September 30,						For the nine
								months ended September 30,
		2013				2012		2013		2012
	Revenues	$	631,838			$	324,604	$	1,743,432	$	749,599

	Net Income	$	81,885			$	67,772	$	283,447	$	176,507


	The fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and based on information that was available as of the acquisition date. Nationstar is currently completing the final determination of any required purchase accounting adjustments which will be made upon the completion of all fair value assessments.
