ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESE

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	9 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION New Residential Investment Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, “New Residential”) is a Delaware corporation that was formed as a limited liability company in September 2011 for the purpose of making real estate related investments and commenced operations on December 8, 2011. On December 20, 2012, New Residential was converted to a corporation. Newcastle Investment Corp. (“Newcastle”) was the sole stockholder of New Residential until the spin-off (Note 13), which was completed on May 15, 2013. Newcastle is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “NCT.” Following the spin-off, New Residential is an independent publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) primarily focused on investing in residential mortgage related assets. New Residential is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NRZ.” New Residential has elected and intends to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, New Residential will generally not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of its net income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders by prescribed dates and complies with various other requirements. See Note 17 regarding New Residential’s taxable REIT subsidiaries. New Residential has entered into a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with FIG LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), pursuant to which the Manager provides a management team and other professionals who are responsible for implementing New Residential’s business strategy, subject to the supervision of New Residential’s Board of Directors. For its services, the Manager is entitled to management fees and incentive compensation, both defined in, and in accordance with the terms of, the Management Agreement. The Manager also manages Newcastle and investment funds that own a majority of Nationstar Mortgage LLC (“Nationstar”), a leading residential mortgage servicer, and Springleaf Holdings, Inc. (“Springleaf”), managing member of the Consumer Loan Companies (Note 9). As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential conducted its business through the following segments: (i) investments in Excess MSRs, (ii) investments in servicer advances, (iii) investments in real estate securities, (iv) investments in real estate loans, (v) investments in consumer loans and (vi) corporate. Approximately 2.4 million shares of New Residential’s common stock were held by Fortress, through its affiliates, and its principals as of September 30, 2015 . In addition, Fortress, through its affiliates, held options to purchase approximately 10.9 million shares of New Residential’s common stock as of September 30, 2015 . Interim Financial Statements The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of New Residential have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of New Residential’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with New Residential’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and notes thereto included in New Residential’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined, are defined in New Residential’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 . Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. In addition, New Residential completed a one-for-two reverse stock split in October 2014 (Note 13). The impact of this reverse stock split has been retroactively applied to all periods presented. Correction of the Financial Statements New Residential determined during the second quarter of 2015 that purchases and sales of residential mortgage loans classified as held-for-sale upon acquisition that had been reported on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as cash flows from investing activities should have been reported as operating activities. New Residential has corrected the previously presented condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for these loans. The effect of the adjustment on the presentation for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was to move $249.7 million of gross cash inflows and $737.2 million of gross cash outflows from investing activities to operating activities. New Residential has evaluated the effect of the incorrect presentation, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and concluded that it did not materially misstate the previously issued financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In effect, companies will be required to exercise further judgment and make more estimates prospectively. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for New Residential in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. New Residential is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures . The standard changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financing transactions to secured borrowing accounting. ASU No. 2014-11 also expands disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU No. 2014-11 was effective for New Residential in the first quarter of 2015. Disclosures are not required for comparative periods presented before the effective date. New Residential has determined that, as of January 1, 2015, its linked transactions (Note 10) are accounted for as secured borrowings. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern . The standard provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by requiring management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding on certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for New Residential for the annual period ending on December 31, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. New Residential is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact that it may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . The standard amends the consolidation considerations when evaluating certain limited partnerships, variable interest entities and investment funds. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for New Residential in the first quarter of 2016. Early adoption is permitted. New Residential does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest . The standard amends the balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs such that they are no longer recognized as deferred charges but are rather presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for New Residential in the first quarter of 2016. Early adoption is permitted. New Residential has adopted ASU No. 2015-03 in June 2015 and has determined that the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 resulted in an immaterial reclassification of its Deferred Financing Costs, Net (Note 2) to an offset of its Notes Payable (Note 11). The FASB has recently issued or discussed a number of proposed standards on such topics as financial statement presentation, financial instruments and hedging. Some of the proposed changes are significant and could have a material impact on New Residential’s reporting. New Residential has not yet fully evaluated the potential impact of these proposals, but will make such an evaluation as the standards are finalized. Acquisition of HLSS Assets and Liabilities On February 22, 2015, New Residential entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Initial Merger Agreement”) with Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“HLSS”) and Hexagon Merger Sub, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Residential (“Merger Sub”). HLSS was listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC under the symbol “HLSS” until April 29, 2015, when its shares were delisted. On April 6, 2015, with the approval of their respective Boards of Directors, New Residential and HLSS, together with certain of their respective subsidiaries, entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) (providing for the termination of the Initial Merger Agreement) and simultaneously entered into a Share and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The parties to the Acquisition Agreement included New Residential, HLSS, HLSS Advances Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of New Residential (“HLSS Advances”), and HLSS MSR-EBO Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of New Residential (together with HLSS Advances, the “Buyers”). Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Buyers acquired from HLSS substantially all of the assets of HLSS (including all of the issued share capital of HLSS’s first-tier subsidiaries) and assumed (and agreed to indemnify HLSS for) the liabilities of HLSS (together, the “HLSS Acquisition”), other than post-closing liabilities in an amount up to the Retained Amount (as defined below), for aggregate consideration (net of certain transaction expenses being reimbursed by HLSS), consisting of approximately $1.0 billion in cash and 28,286,980 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“New Residential Acquisition Common Stock”), of New Residential delivered to HLSS in a private placement. The closing of the HLSS Acquisition (the “Acquisition Closing”) occurred simultaneously with the execution of the Acquisition Agreement. The Acquisition Agreement includes certain customary post-closing covenants of New Residential, the Buyers and HLSS. In addition, the Board of Directors of HLSS also approved a wind down plan (the “Distribution and Liquidation Plan”), pursuant to which HLSS sold the shares of New Residential Acquisition Common Stock received in the HLSS Acquisition on April 8, 2015 and distributed to HLSS shareholders the cash consideration from the HLSS Acquisition and the cash proceeds from the sale of shares of New Residential Acquisition Common Stock; provided that under the terms of the Distribution and Liquidation Plan, HLSS retained $50.0 million of cash (the “Retained Amount”) for wind down costs, of which $45.1 million remained as of September 30, 2015 . At the Acquisition Closing, HLSS Advances entered into a Services Agreement, dated as of April 6, 2015, with HLSS (the “Services Agreement”). Pursuant to the Services Agreement, HLSS Advances agreed to manage the assets and affairs of HLSS in accordance with terms and conditions set forth therein and, in all cases, in accordance with the Distribution and Liquidation Plan. The Services Agreement provided that HLSS Advances was responsible for the operations of HLSS and performed (or caused to be performed) such services and activities relating to the assets and operations of HLSS as may have been appropriate, including, among other things, administering the Distribution and Liquidation Plan and handling all claims, disputes or controversies in which HLSS was a party or may otherwise have been involved, through the consummation of the New Merger (as defined below). HLSS Advances was not compensated by HLSS for its services under the Services Agreement but was reimbursed by HLSS for expenses incurred on behalf of HLSS. At the Acquisition Closing, New Residential and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 6, 2015, with HLSS (the “New Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (including the approval of HLSS’s shareholders), HLSS (which at the time of the New Merger (as defined below) had substantially wound-down its operations) merged with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Residential (the “New Merger”). Following the New Merger, references to HLSS refer to Merger Sub. Pursuant to the New Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the effective time of the New Merger (the “Effective Time”), each ordinary share of HLSS, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than those shares of HLSS owned by New Residential or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New Residential and shares of HLSS as to which dissenters’ rights have been properly exercised), was automatically converted into the right to receive $0.704059 per share in cash, without interest. The Effective Time occurred on October 23, 2015, at which time New Residential paid approximately $50.0 million to HLSS shareholders and the New Merger was completed. The New Merger did not require the approval of New Residential’s shareholders. However, consummation of the New Merger was subject to, among other things: (i) approval of the New Merger by the requisite vote of HLSS’s shareholders; (ii) not more than 10% of HLSS’s issued and outstanding shares properly exercising appraisal rights as of the time immediately before the closing of the New Merger (the “New Merger Closing”); and (iii) certain other customary closing conditions. Moreover, each party’s obligation to consummate the New Merger was subject to certain other conditions, including without limitation, (i) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties and (ii) the other party’s compliance with its covenants and agreements contained in the New Merger Agreement (in each case subject to customary materiality qualifiers). In addition, the obligations of New Residential and Merger Sub to consummate the New Merger were subject to the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the New Merger Agreement). The purchase price for the HLSS Acquisition included the fair value of the common stock issued of $434.1 million , cash consideration paid of $622.0 million , HLSS seller financing of $385.2 million , and contingent cash consideration of $50.0 million . The total consideration is summarized as follows: Total Consideration Amount Share Issuance Consideration 28,286,980 New Residential's 4/6/2015 share price $ 15.3460 Dollar Value of Share Issuance (A) $ 434,092 Cash Consideration 621,982 HLSS Seller Financing (B) 385,174 New Merger Payment (71,016,771 $0.704059) (C) 50,000 Total Consideration $ 1,491,248 (A) Share Issuance Consideration The share issuance consideration consists of 28.3 million newly issued shares of New Residential common stock with a par value $0.01 per share. The fair value of the common stock at the date of the acquisition was $15.3460 per share, which was New Residential’s volume weighted average share price on April 6, 2015. (B) HLSS Seller Financing New Residential agreed to deliver $1.0 billion of cash purchase price, including a promise to pay an amount of $385.2 million immediately after closing from the proceeds of financing that was committed in anticipation of the HLSS Acquisition and is collateralized by certain of the HLSS assets acquired. (C) New Merger Payment The New Merger Agreement, and the $50.0 million consideration related thereto, is included as a part of the business combination in conjunction with the Share and Asset Purchase Agreement. The range of outcomes for this contingent consideration was from $0.0 million to $50.0 million , dependent on whether the New Merger was approved by HLSS shareholders and other factors. As of the Effective Time, the net contingent consideration paid was fixed at $5.1 million . New Residential has performed a preliminary allocation of the purchase price to HLSS’s assets and liabilities, as set forth below. The final allocation of purchase price may differ from the amounts included herein. The preliminary allocation of the total consideration, following reclassifications to conform to New Residential’s presentation, is as follows: Total Consideration ($ in millions) $ 1,491.2 Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 51.5 Servicer advances, at fair value 5,098.2 Excess mortgage servicing rights, at fair value 919.5 Residential mortgage loans, held-for-sale (A) 418.8 Deferred tax asset (B) 186.8 Investment in HLSS Ltd. 44.9 Other assets (C) 405.0 Total Assets Acquired $ 7,124.7 Liabilities Notes payable 5,583.0 Deferred tax liabilities (0.8 ) Accrued expenses and other liabilities (D)(E) 51.3 Total Liabilities Assumed $ 5,633.5 Net Assets $ 1,491.2 (A) Represents $424.3 million UPB of GNMA early buy-out (“EBO”) residential mortgage loans not subject to ASC No. 310-30 as the contractual cash flows are guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”). (B) Due to the difference between carryover historical tax basis and acquisition date fair value of one of HLSS’s first tier subsidiaries. (C) Includes restricted cash and receivables not subject to ASC No. 310-30 which New Residential has deemed fully collectible. (D) Includes liabilities arising from contingencies regarding ongoing HLSS matters (Note 14). (E) Contingencies for HLSS class action law suits have not been recognized at the acquisition date as the criteria in ASC No. 450 have not been met (Note 14). The acquisition of HLSS resulted in no goodwill as the total consideration transferred was equal to the fair value of the net assets acquired. Separately Recognized Transactions Certain transactions were recognized separately from New Residential’s acquisition of assets and assumption of liabilities in the business combination. These separately recognized transactions include 1) contingent payments to the acquiree’s employees and 2) debt issuance costs. Contingent Payment to the Acquiree’s Employees New Residential identified both retention bonus and severance arrangements for the HLSS employees. Retention bonus payments are triggered by a change in control and continued employment for a specified period post-acquisition. As future service is required, retention bonus payments totaling approximately $3.0 million have been recognized in General and administrative expenses in New Residential’s statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . Severance is triggered by a change in control and termination without cause by New Residential within a specified period post-acquisition. As the second trigger represents an action by New Residential as the acquirer, a total amount of approximately $2.8 million has been recognized in General and administrative expenses in New Residential’s statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . Debt Issuance Costs New Residential entered into new financing arrangements in connection with the HLSS Acquisition. Such arrangements resulted in New Residential incurring various commitment fees. Commitment fees are treated as a cost of financing and accounted for as debt issuance costs that are not considered a direct cost of the acquisition. Therefore, debt issuance costs totaling approximately $27.0 million have been recorded on the post-acquisition balance sheet of New Residential. Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Information - The following table presents unaudited pro forma combined Interest income and Income Before Income Taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2015 prepared as if the HLSS Acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2014. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited) Pro Forma Interest income $ 182,341 $ 194,555 $ 531,479 $ 558,564 Income Before Income Taxes 58,655 206,320 229,771 558,819 The 2015 unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information has been adjusted to exclude, and the 2014 unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information has been adjusted to include, approximately $26.1 million of acquisition-related costs incurred by New Residential and HLSS in 2015. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information has not been adjusted for transactions other than the HLSS Acquisition, or for the conforming of accounting policies. The unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not include any anticipated synergies or other anticipated benefits of the HLSS Acquisition and, accordingly, the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the HLSS Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2014. New Residential’s condensed consolidated statements of income include interest income and income before income taxes of HLSS since the April 6, 2015 acquisition of $184.3 million and $69.4 million , respectively. Relationship with Ocwen HLSS and HLSS Holdings, LLC (a subsidiary of HLSS acquired by New Residential in the HLSS Acquisition) entered into a mortgage servicing rights purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Ocwen Financial Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, including Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC, “Ocwen”), which remains in effect following the HLSS Acquisition. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, HLSS and HLSS Holdings purchased, among other things, the rights to certain servicing fees under MSRs in respect of private label securitization transactions, associated servicer advances and other related assets from Ocwen from time to time. The specific terms of any acquisition of such assets are documented pursuant to separate sale supplements to the Purchase Agreement executed by the parties from time to time (each a “Sale Supplement” and together, the “Sale Supplements”). As of March 31, 2015, the UPB of the mortgage loans in respect of the related MSRs equaled $156.4 billion . Ocwen consented to HLSS’s assignment of its rights and interests in connection with the HLSS Acquisition. Because Ocwen is the servicer of the loans underlying the MSRs related to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, New Residential pays Ocwen a monthly base fee pursuant to the applicable Sale Supplement relating to the applicable MSRs equal to 12% of the servicing fees collected thereon in any given month. This monthly base fee payable to Ocwen is expressed as a percentage of the servicing fees actually collected in any given month, which varies from month to month based on the level of collections of principal and interest for the mortgage loans serviced. Ocwen also receives a performance-based incentive fee to the extent the servicing fee revenue that it collects for any given month exceeds the sum of the monthly base fee and the retained fee. The performance-based incentive fee payable in any month is reduced if the advance ratio exceeds a predetermined level for that month. If the advance ratio is exceeded in any month, any performance-based incentive fee payable for such month will be reduced by 1-month LIBOR plus 2.75% (or 275 basis points) per annum of the amount of any such excess servicer advances. The specific terms of the fee arrangements with respect to each pool of mortgage loans may be documented pursuant to the Sale Supplements in each case having an initial term of up to eight years (commencing on the date of the applicable Sale Supplement). If Ocwen and New Residential do not agree to revised fee arrangements at the end of such term, New Residential may direct Ocwen to transfer servicing to a third party, and New Residential may keep any proceeds of such transfer. The Purchase Agreement provides that New Residential will purchase from Ocwen servicer advances arising under specified servicing agreements as the servicer advances arise. The purchase price payable by New Residential for such servicer advances is equal to the outstanding balance thereof. As of April 6, 2015, the outstanding balance of servicer advances acquired from Ocwen equaled $5.6 billion . In addition, the Purchase Agreement contemplates that New Residential may cause Ocwen to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer servicing of the related mortgage loans to a third-party servicer upon the occurrence of various termination events. Certain termination events may have occurred under the Purchase Agreement because of downgrades in certain of Ocwen’s servicer ratings but New Residential has agreed, subject to certain limitations, not to cause Ocwen to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer servicing of the related mortgage loans to a third-party servicer with respect to such downgrades before April 6, 2017. The Purchase Agreement and Sale Supplements include various Ocwen warranties, representations and indemnifications relating to Ocwen’s performance of its duties as servicer. Pursuant to an amendment to the Purchase Agreement executed in connection with the consummation of the HLSS Acquisition, such Purchase Agreement and the related Sale Supplements were amended, among other things, to (i) obtain Ocwen’s consent to the assignment by HLSS of its interest under the Purchase Agreement and each sale supplement thereto, (ii) provide that HLSS Holdings will not direct the replacement of Ocwen as servicer before April 6, 2017 except under the circumstances described in the amendment, (iii) extend the scheduled term of Ocwen’s servicing appointment under each sale supplement until the earlier of 8 years from the date of the related sale supplement and April 30, 2020 (subject to an agreement to commence negotiating in good faith for an extension of the contract term no later than six months prior to the end of the applicable term) unless certain servicer ratings thresholds are not met on the 6 year anniversary of the related sale supplement, in which case the related term would expire on such anniversary, and (iv) provide that Ocwen will reimburse HLSS Holdings, subject to specified limits, for certain increased costs resulting from further S&P servicer rating downgrades of Ocwen. Through September 30, 2015, New Residential has accrued $8.5 million in connection with clause (iv), which is included in Other Income, and which was received in October 2015. In addition, pursuant to such amendment Ocwen agreed to sell to New Residential the economic beneficial rights to any right of optional termination or “clean-up call” of any trust related to any servicing agreement in respect of certain servicing fees New Residential acquired from HLSS and to exercise such rights only at New Residential’s direction. New Residential agreed to pay to Ocwen a fee in an amount equal to 0.50% of the outstanding balance of the performing mortgage loans purchased in connection with any such exercise and to pay costs and expenses of Ocwen in connection with any such exercise. Optional termination or clean up call rights generally may not be exercised until the outstanding principal balance of serviced loans is reduced to a specified balance. HLSS Management, LLC (“HLSS Management”) (a subsidiary of HLSS acquired by New Residential in the HLSS Acquisition) has a professional services agreement with Ocwen that enables HLSS to provide certain services to Ocwen and for Ocwen to provide certain services to HLSS Management which remains in effect following the HLSS Acquisition. Services provided by New Residential under this agreement may include valuation and analysis of MSRs, capital markets activities, advance financing management, treasury management, legal services and other similar services. Services provided by Ocwen under this agreement may include business strategy, legal, tax, licensing and regulatory compliance support services, risk management services and other similar services. The services provided by the parties under this agreement are on an as-needed basis, and the fees represent actual costs incurred plus an additional markup of 15% .

See Note 6 for a description of the SLS Transaction. (B) Ocwen services the loans underlying the Excess MSRs and Servicer Advances acquired from HLSS. See Note 1. (C) In the third quarter of 2015, New Residential recorded a cumulative positive prior period adjustment of $4.4 million (of which $4.2 million related to 2014 and prior) resulting from adjustments to certain modeling assumptions. Nationstar, SLS or Ocwen, as applicable, as servicer, performs all servicing and advancing functions, and retains the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer of the underlying loans in the portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, New Residential invested approximately $54.2 million to acquire a 33.3% interest in the Excess MSR on two portfolios of Freddie Mac and one portfolio of Fannie Mae residential mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $17.3 billion and $1.6 billion , respectively. In addition, New Residential invested approximately $72.4 million to acquire a 40% interest in the Excess MSR on a portfolio of Ginnie Mae residential mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $18.5 billion . Fortress-managed funds and Nationstar each agreed to acquire a 33% interest in the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae Excess MSR and a 40% and 20% interest in the Ginnie Mae Excess MSR, respectively. Nationstar as servicer agreed to perform all servicing and advancing functions, and retain the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer of the underlying loans in each of the portfolios. Furthermore, on April 6, 2015, New Residential acquired Excess MSRs in connection with the HLSS Acquisition (Note 1). On July 16, 2015, New Residential invested approximately $2.4 million to acquire a 33.3% interest in the Excess MSRs on a portfolio of Freddie Mac residential mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $0.8 billion . Fortress-managed funds and Nationstar each agreed to acquire a 33.3% interest in the Excess MSRs. Nationstar as servicer agreed to perform all servicing and advancing functions, and retain the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer of the underlying loans in each of the portfolios. New Residential has entered into a “Recapture Agreement” in each of the Excess MSR investments serviced by Nationstar and SLS, including those Excess MSR investments made through investments in joint ventures (Note 5). Under such Recapture Agreements, New Residential is generally entitled to a pro rata interest in the Excess MSRs on any initial or subsequent refinancing by Nationstar of a loan in the original portfolio. New Residential has a similar recapture agreement with Ocwen; however, this agreement allows for Ocwen to retain the Excess MSR on recaptured loans up to a threshold and no payments have been made to New Residential under such arrangement to date. These Recapture Agreements do not apply to New Residential’s investments in servicer advances (Note 6). New Residential elected to record its investments in Excess MSRs at fair value pursuant to the fair value option for financial instruments in order to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of prepayment risk and other market factors on the Excess MSRs. The following is a summary of New Residential’s direct investments in Excess MSRs: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Unpaid Principal Balance (“UPB”) of Underlying Mortgages Interest in Excess MSR Weighted Average Life Years (A) Amortized Cost Basis (B) Carrying Value (C) Carrying Value (C) New Residential Fortress-managed funds Nationstar Agency Original and Recaptured Pools $ 78,057,699 32.5% - 66.7% 0.0% - 40.0% 20.0% - 35.0% 5.9 $ 236,787 $ 284,805 $ 188,733 Recapture Agreements — 32.5% - 66.7% 0.0% - 40.0% 20.0% - 35.0% 11.7 25,127 47,270 28,786 78,057,699 6.5 261,914 332,075 217,519 Non-Agency (D) Nationstar and SLS Serviced: Original and Recaptured Pools $ 98,914,180 33.3% - 80.0% 0.0% - 50.0% 0.0% - 33.3% 5.1 $ 215,268 $ 252,674 $ 189,812 Recapture Agreements — 33.3% - 80.0% 0.0% - 50.0% 0.0% - 33.3% 12.0 14,830 16,748 10,402 Ocwen Serviced Pools 145,781,953 100.0 % — % — % 5.4 858,431 858,193 — 244,696,133 5.4 1,088,529 1,127,615 200,214 Total $ 322,753,832 5.6 $ 1,350,443 $ 1,459,690 $ 417,733 (A) Weighted Average Life represents the weighted average expected timing of the receipt of expected cash flows for this investment.

INVESTMENTS IN EXCESS MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS, EQUITY METHOD INVESTEES	INVESTMENTS IN EXCESS MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS, EQUITY METHOD INVESTEES New Residential entered into investments in joint ventures (“Excess MSR joint ventures”) jointly controlled by New Residential and Fortress-managed funds investing in Excess MSRs. New Residential elected to record these investments at fair value pursuant to the fair value option for financial instruments to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of prepayment risk and other market factors. During the first quarter of 2015 , New Residential and the Fortress-managed funds restructured their investments in two of the Excess MSR joint ventures and now each directly owns its share of the underlying assets of the joint ventures.

Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract]
INVESTMENTS IN SERVICER ADVANCES	INVESTMENTS IN SERVICER ADVANCES In December 2013, New Residential and third-party co-investors, through a joint venture entity (Advance Purchaser LLC, the “Buyer”) consolidated by New Residential, agreed to purchase the outstanding servicer advances on a portfolio of loans, which is a subset of the same portfolio of loans in which New Residential invests in a portion of the Excess MSRs (Notes 4 and 5), including the basic fee component of the related MSRs. As of September 30, 2015 , the Buyer had funded $2.2 billion of servicer advances, net of recoveries, financed with $2.1 billion of notes payables outstanding (Note 11). A taxable wholly owned subsidiary of New Residential is the managing member of the Buyer and owned an approximately 44.5% interest in the Buyer as of September 30, 2015 . As of September 30, 2015 , noncontrolling third-party investors, owning the remaining interest in the Buyer, have funded capital commitments to the Buyer of $389.6 million and New Residential has funded capital commitments to the Buyer of $312.7 million . The Buyer may call capital up to the commitment amount on unfunded commitments and recall capital to the extent the Buyer makes a distribution to the co-investors, including New Residential. As of September 30, 2015 , the third-party co-investors and New Residential had previously funded their commitments, however the Buyer may recall $236.5 million and $189.8 million of capital distributed to the third-party co-investors and New Residential, respectively. Neither the third-party co-investors nor New Residential is obligated to fund amounts in excess of their respective capital commitments, regardless of the capital requirements of the Buyer. The Buyer has purchased servicer advances from Nationstar, is required to purchase all future servicer advances made with respect to certain residential loan pools from Nationstar, and receives cash flows from advance recoveries and the basic fee component of the related MSRs, net of compensation paid back to Nationstar in consideration of Nationstar’s servicing activities. The compensation paid to Nationstar as of September 30, 2015 was approximately 9.3% of the basic fee component of the related MSRs plus a performance fee that represents a portion (up to 100% ) of the cash flows in excess of those required for the Buyer to obtain a specified return on its equity. In December 2014, New Residential agreed to acquire (the “SLS Transaction”) 50% of the Excess MSRs, all of the servicer advances and related basic fee portion of the MSRs (the “Advance Fee”), and a portion of the call rights related to an underlying pool of residential mortgage loans with a UPB of approximately $3.0 billion which is serviced by SLS. New Residential continues to evaluate the call rights it purchased from SLS, and its ability to exercise such rights and realize the benefits therefrom are subject to a number of risks. The actual UPB of the mortgage loans on which New Residential can successfully exercise call rights and realize the benefits therefrom may differ materially from its initial assumptions. Fortress-managed funds acquired the other 50% of the Excess MSRs. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $229.7 million . The par amount of the total advance commitments for the SLS Transaction was $219.2 million (with related financing of $195.5 million ). As of December 31, 2014, the closed portion of the purchase of $93.8 million included $8.4 million for 50% of the Excess MSRs, $83.8 million for servicer advances and Advance Fee (of which $74.3 million was financed as of December 31, 2014), and $1.6 million to fund a portion of the call rights on 57 of the 99 underlying securitization trusts. The remaining portion of the purchase price of $135.9 million included servicer advances and Advance Fee unfunded commitments of approximately $133.8 million that were funded in January 2015 (with approximately $121.2 million of related financing) and $2.1 million to fund the remaining portion of the call rights on 57 of the 99 underlying securitization trusts. As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential had funded $149.6 million of servicer advances, net of recoveries, financed with $133.3 million of notes payable outstanding (Note 11). SLS will continue to service the loans in exchange for a servicing fee of 10.75 bps and an incentive fee (the “SLS Incentive Fee”) which is based on the ratio of the outstanding servicer advances to the UPB of the underlying loans. On April 6, 2015, New Residential acquired servicer advances in connection with the HLSS Acquisition (Note 1). In April 2015, New Residential acquired the call rights related to an underlying pool of residential mortgage loans with a UPB of approximately $107.1 billion from Ocwen. The pool of underlying mortgage loans represents the mortgage loans underlying the Excess MSR and Servicer Advances investments acquired from HLSS (Note 1). New Residential continues to evaluate the call rights it acquired from Ocwen, and its ability to exercise such rights and realize the benefits therefrom are subject to a number of risks. The actual UPB of the mortgage loans on which New Residential can successfully exercise call rights and realize the benefits therefrom may differ materially from its initial assumptions. New Residential elected to record its investments in servicer advances, including the right to the basic fee component of the related MSRs, at fair value pursuant to the fair value option for financial instruments to provide users of the financial statements with better information regarding the effects of market factors.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , New Residential recorded other-than-temporary impairment charges (“OTTI”) of $3.3 million with respect to real estate securities. Any remaining unrealized losses on New Residential’s securities were primarily the result of changes in market factors, rather than issue-specific credit impairment. New Residential performed analyses in relation to such securities, using its best estimate of their cash flows, which support its belief that the carrying values of such securities were fully recoverable over their expected holding period. New Residential has no intent to sell, and is not more likely than not to be required to sell, these securities. The following table summarizes New Residential’s securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2015 .

(B) The weighted average rating of securities in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months excludes the rating of 23 bonds which either have never been rated or for which rating information is no longer provided. New Residential performed an assessment of all of its debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position (an unrealized loss position exists when a security’s amortized cost basis, excluding the effect of OTTI, exceeds its fair value) and determined the following: September 30, 2015 Unrealized Losses Fair Value Amortized Cost Basis After Impairment Credit (A) Non-Credit (B) Securities New Residential intends to sell (C) $ — $ — $ — $ — Securities New Residential is more likely than not to be required to sell (D) — — — N/A Securities New Residential has no intent to sell and is not more likely than not to be required to sell: Credit impaired securities 111,179 113,435 (2,869 ) (2,256 ) Non-credit impaired securities 525,000 534,968 — (9,968 ) Total debt securities in an unrealized loss position $ 636,179 $ 648,403 $ (2,869 ) $ (12,224 ) (A) This amount is required to be recorded as other-than-temporary impairment through earnings. In measuring the portion of credit losses, New Residential estimates the expected cash flow for each of the securities. This evaluation includes a review of the credit status and the performance of the collateral supporting those securities, including the credit of the issuer, key terms of the securities and the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends. Significant inputs in estimating the cash flows include New Residential’s expectations of prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severities. Credit losses are measured as the decline in the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate. (B) This amount represents unrealized losses on securities that are due to non-credit factors and recorded through other comprehensive income. (C) A portion of securities New Residential intends to sell have a fair value equal to their amortized cost basis after impairment and, therefore, do no t have unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2015 . (D) New Residential may, at times, be more likely than not to be required to sell certain securities for liquidity purposes. While the amount of the securities to be sold may be an estimate, and the securities to be sold have not yet been identified, New Residential must make its best estimate, which is subject to significant judgment regarding future events, and may differ materially from actual future sales. The following table summarizes the activity related to credit losses on debt securities: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Beginning balance of credit losses on debt securities for which a portion of an OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income $ 1,127 Increases to credit losses on securities for which an OTTI was previously recognized and a portion of an OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income 5 Additions for credit losses on securities for which an OTTI was not previously recognized 3,287 Reductions for securities for which the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income was recognized in earnings because the entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis — Reduction for credit losses on securities for which no OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income at the current measurement date — Reduction for securities sold during the period (574 ) Ending balance of credit losses on debt securities for which a portion of an OTTI was recognized in other comprehensive income $ 3,845 The table below summarizes the geographic distribution of the collateral securing New Residential’s Non-Agency RMBS: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Geographic Location (B) Outstanding Face Amount Percentage of Total Outstanding Outstanding Face Amount Percentage of Total Outstanding Western U.S. $ 829,570 33.5 % $ 779,930 41.1 % Southeastern U.S. 623,324 25.2 % 409,755 21.6 % Northeastern U.S. 483,036 19.5 % 344,716 18.2 % Midwestern U.S. 259,430 10.5 % 190,480 10.0 % Southwestern U.S. 274,590 11.1 % 170,829 9.0 % Other (A) 2,473 0.2 % 440 0.1 % $ 2,472,423 100.0 % $ 1,896,150 100.0 % (A) Represents collateral for which New Residential was unable to obtain geographic information.

New Residential evaluates the credit quality of its real estate securities, as of the acquisition date, for evidence of credit quality deterioration. As a result, New Residential identified a population of real estate securities for which it was determined that it was probable that New Residential would be unable to collect all contractually required payments. For securities acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , excluding residual and interest-only securities, the face amount of these real estate securities was $280.2 million , with total expected cash flows of $323.0 million and a fair value of $205.8 million on the dates that New Residential purchased the respective securities.

Receivables [Abstract]
INVESTMENTS IN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS	INVESTMENTS IN RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , New Residential acquired and sold several portfolios of reperforming and non-performing residential mortgage loans as discussed below: • New Residential acquired a portfolio of non-performing GNMA EBO residential mortgage loans with a UPB of $424.3 million for approximately $418.8 million as a part of the HLSS Acquisition (Note 1). • New Residential sold non-performing and performing residential mortgage loans with a UPB of approximately $1.2 billion and a carrying value of approximately $997.1 million at a price of approximately $1.0 billion and recorded gains of $29.8 million . • On June 25, 2015, New Residential exercised its call rights related to 18 Non-Agency RMBS trusts and purchased performing and non-performing loans with a UPB of approximately $369.0 million at a price of approximately $388.8 million , contained in such trusts prior to their termination. New Residential securitized approximately $334.5 million in UPB of performing loans, which was recorded as a sale for accounting purposes, recognized a loss on settlement of investments of approximately $2.8 million , and paid approximately $14.9 million to acquire interest only notes representing a beneficial interest in the securitization. New Residential retained non-performing loans with a UPB of approximately $34.5 million at a price of $31.7 million . Additionally, New Residential acquired $1.3 million of real estate owned. • On September 25, 2015, New Residential exercised its call rights related to seven seasoned Non-Agency RMBS trusts and purchased performing and non-performing loans with a UPB of approximately $216.3 million at a price of approximately $223.1 million , contained in such trusts prior to their termination. Additionally, New Residential acquired $1.5 million of real estate owned. Loans are accounted for based on New Residential’s strategy for the loan, and on whether the loan was credit-impaired at the date of acquisition. New Residential accounts for loans based on the following categories: • Loans Held-for-Investment: ◦ Reverse Mortgage Loans ◦ Performing Loans ◦ Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) Loans • Loans Held-for-Sale (“HFS”) • Real Estate Owned (“REO”) The following table presents certain information regarding New Residential’s residential mortgage loans outstanding by loan type, excluding REO: September 30, 2015 Outstanding Face Amount Carrying Loan Weighted Average Yield Weighted Average Life (Years) (A) Floating Rate Loans as a % of Face Amount Loan to Value Ratio (“LTV”) (B) Weighted Avg.

(B) LTV refers to the ratio comparing the loan’s unpaid principal balance to the value of the collateral property. (C) Represents the percentage of the total principal balance that are 60+ days delinquent. (D) The weighted average FICO score is based on the weighted average of information updated and provided by the loan servicer on a monthly basis. (E) Represents a 70% interest that New Residential holds in reverse mortgage loans. The average loan balance outstanding based on total UPB is $0.4 million . Approximately 75% of these loans have reached a termination event. As a result, the borrower can no longer make draws on these loans. Each loan matures upon the occurrence of a termination event. (F) FICO scores are not used in determining how much a borrower can access via a reverse mortgage loan. (G) Includes loans that are current or less than 30 days past due at acquisition where New Residential expects to collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Presented net of unamortized premiums of $6.7 million . (H) Includes loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination where it is probable that New Residential will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential has placed all of these loans on nonaccrual status, except as described in (I) below. (I) Includes $271.3 million UPB of GNMA EBO non-performing loans on accrual status as contractual cash flows are guaranteed by the FHA. New Residential generally considers the delinquency status, loan-to-value ratios, and geographic area of residential mortgage loans as its credit quality indicators. Delinquency status is a primary credit quality indicator as loans that are more than 60 days past due provide an early warning of borrowers who may be experiencing financial difficulties. For residential mortgage loans, the current LTV ratio is an indicator of the potential loss severity in the event of default. Finally, the geographic distribution of the loan collateral also provides insight as to the credit quality of the portfolio, as factors such as the regional economy, home price changes and specific events will affect credit quality. The table below summarizes the geographic distribution of the underlying residential mortgage loans: Percentage of Total Outstanding Unpaid Principal Amount as of State Concentration September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 New Jersey 15.1 % 7.0 % New York 14.6 % 12.2 % California 12.4 % 15.0 % Florida 7.6 % 6.3 % Maryland 3.4 % 3.4 % Illinois 3.3 % 4.4 % Texas 3.3 % 4.1 % Massachusetts 3.1 % 2.4 % Pennsylvania 2.9 % 3.9 % Washington 2.7 % 3.0 % Other U.S. 31.6 % 38.3 % 100.0 % 100.0 % Reverse Mortgage Loans In February 2013, New Residential, through a subsidiary, entered into an agreement to co-invest in a portfolio of reverse mortgage loans. New Residential acquired a 70% interest in the reverse mortgage loans. Nationstar has co-invested on a pari passu basis with New Residential in 30% of the reverse mortgage loans and is the servicer of the loans performing all servicing and advancing functions and retaining the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer. Performing Loans The following table provides past due information for New Residential’s Performing Loans, which is an important indicator of credit quality and the establishment of the allowance for loan losses: September 30, 2015 Days Past Due Delinquency Status (A) Current 98.7 % 30-59 1.0 % 60-89 0.2 % 90-119 (B) — % 120+ (C) 0.1 % 100.0 % (A) Represents the percentage of the total principal balance that corresponds to loans that are in each delinquency status. (B) Includes loans 90 - 119 days past due and still accruing interest because they are generally placed on nonaccrual status at 120 days or more past due. (C) Represents nonaccrual loans. Activities related to the carrying value of residential mortgage loans held-for-investment were as follows: For the Nine Months Ended Reverse Mortgage Loans Performing Loans Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 24,965 $ 22,873 Purchases/additional fundings 837 — Proceeds from repayments (687 ) (2,247 ) Accretion of loan discount (premium) and other amortization (A) 4,332 (11 ) Provision for loan losses (244 ) (118 ) Transfer of loans to other assets (8,850 ) — Transfer of loans to real estate owned (37 ) — Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 20,316 $ 20,497 (A) Includes accelerated accretion of discount on loans paid in full. Activities related to the valuation allowance on reverse mortgage loans and allowance for loan losses on performing loans held-for-investment were as follows: For the Nine Months Ended Reverse Mortgage Loans Performing Loans Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 1,518 $ 1,447 Provision for loan losses (A) 245 118 Charge-offs (B) — (1,371 ) Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 1,763 $ 194 (A) Based on an analysis of collective borrower performance, credit ratings of borrowers, loan-to-value ratios, estimated value of the underlying collateral, key terms of the loans and historical and anticipated trends in defaults and loss severities at a pool level. (B) Loans, other than PCI loans, are generally charged off or charged down to the net realizable value of the collateral (i.e., fair value less costs to sell), with an offset to the allowance for loan losses, when available information confirms that loans are uncollectible. Purchased Credit Impaired Loans New Residential’s PCI loans were classified as held-for-sale at December 31, 2014 and throughout the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , and therefore, are not subject to the accounting in ASC No. 310-30. Loans Held-for-Sale Activities related to the carrying value of loans held-for-sale were as follows: For the Nine Months Ended Loans Held-for-Sale Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 1,126,439 Purchases (A) 1,029,934 Sales (1,355,082 ) Transfer of loans to other assets (9,038 ) Transfer of loans to real estate owned (27,900 ) Adoption of ASU No. 2014-11 (B) 1,831 Proceeds from repayments (51,548 ) Valuation provision on loans (719 ) Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 713,917 (A) Represents loans acquired with the intent to sell, including loans acquired in the HLSS Acquisition (Note 1). (B) Represents loans financed with the selling counterparty that were previously accounted for as linked transactions (Note 1). Real estate owned (REO) During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , New Residential received properties in satisfaction of non-performing residential mortgage loans. As a result, New Residential has recognized REO assets totaling approximately $29.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . In addition, New Residential has recognized $58.4 million in claims receivable from FHA on GNMA EBO loans and reverse mortgage loans for which foreclosure has been completed and for which New Residential has made or intends to make a claim (Note 2). As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential had non-performing residential mortgage loans that were in the process of foreclosure with an unpaid principal balance of $353.9 million . Linked Transactions See Note 10 for a discussion of transactions formerly accounted for as linked transactions.

Investments In Consumer Loans Equity Method Investees [Abstract]
INVESTMENTS IN CONSUMER LOANS, EQUITY METHOD INVESTEES	INVESTMENTS IN CONSUMER LOANS, EQUITY METHOD INVESTEES In April 2013, New Residential completed, through newly formed limited liability companies (together, the “Consumer Loan Companies”), a co-investment in a portfolio of consumer loans. The portfolio included personal unsecured loans and personal homeowner loans originated through subsidiaries of HSBC Finance Corporation. The Consumer Loan Companies acquired the portfolio from HSBC Finance Corporation and its affiliates. New Residential acquired 30% membership interests in each of the Consumer Loan Companies. Of the remaining 70% of the membership interests, Springleaf acquired 47% and an affiliate of Blackstone Tactical Opportunities Advisors L.L.C. acquired 23% . Springleaf acts as the managing member of the Consumer Loan Companies. The Consumer Loan Companies initially financed approximately 73% of the original purchase price with asset-backed notes. In September 2013, the Consumer Loan Companies issued and sold additional asset-backed notes that were subordinate to the debt issued in April 2013. The Consumer Loan Companies were formed on March 19, 2013, for the purpose of making this investment, and commenced operations upon the completion of the investment. After a servicing transition period, Springleaf became the servicer of the loans and provides all servicing and advancing functions for the portfolio. On October 3, 2014, the Consumer Loan Companies refinanced the outstanding asset-backed notes with an asset-backed securitization for approximately $2.6 billion . The proceeds in excess of the refinanced debt were distributed to the respective co-investors. New Residential received approximately $337.8 million , which reduced New Residential’s basis in the consumer loans investment to $0.0 million and resulted in a gain of approximately $80.1 million . Subsequent to this refinancing, New Residential has discontinued recording its share of the underlying earnings of the Consumer Loan Companies until such time as their cumulative earnings exceed their cumulative distributions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Consumer Loan Companies distributed $33.3 million to New Residential in excess of its basis, resulting in corresponding gains, including $0.6 million in tax withholding payments on behalf of New Residential. The tax withholding payments were considered a non-cash distribution. The following tables summarize the investment in the Consumer Loan Companies held by New Residential: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Consumer loan assets (amortized cost basis) $ 1,786,179 $ 2,088,330 Other assets 75,165 92,051 Debt (2,024,015 ) (2,411,421 ) Other liabilities (6,077 ) (12,340 ) Equity $ (168,748 ) $ (243,380 ) New Residential’s investment $ — $ — New Residential’s ownership 30.0 % 30.0 % Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Interest income $ 111,399 $ 129,551 $ 349,539 $ 407,995 Interest expense (21,282 ) (17,685 ) (66,577 ) (57,986 ) Provision for finance receivable losses (15,277 ) (20,494 ) (52,632 ) (82,313 ) Other expenses, net (14,100 ) (17,925 ) (44,862 ) (57,656 ) Change in fair value of debt — 1,522 — (14,810 ) Net income $ 60,740 $ 74,969 $ 185,468 $ 195,230 New Residential’s equity in net income (through October 3, 2014) $ — $ 22,490 $ — $ 60,185 New Residential’s ownership 30.0 % 30.0 % 30.0 % 30.0 % The following is a summary of New Residential’s consumer loan investments made through equity method investees: Unpaid Principal Balance (A) Interest in Consumer Loan Companies Carrying Value (B) Weighted Average Coupon (C) Weighted Average Yield Weighted Average Expected Life (Years) (D) September 30, 2015 $ 2,207,194 30.0 % $ 1,786,179 18.3 % 17.9 % 3.4 December 31, 2014 $ 2,589,748 30.0 % $ 2,088,330 18.1 % 16.1 % 3.6 (A) Represents the August 31, 2015 and November 30, 2014 balances, respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVES	DERIVATIVES As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential’s derivative instruments included economic hedges that were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. New Residential uses economic hedges to hedge a portion of its interest rate risk exposure. Interest rate risk is sensitive to many factors including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, as well as other factors. New Residential’s credit risk with respect to economic hedges is the risk of default on New Residential’s investments that results from a borrower’s or counterparty’s inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential held to-be-announced forward contract positions (“TBAs”) of $1.5 billion in a short notional amount of Agency RMBS and any amounts or obligations owed by or to New Residential are subject to the right of set-off with the TBA counterparty. New Residential’s net short position in TBAs was entered into as an economic hedge in order to mitigate New Residential’s interest rate risk on certain specified mortgage backed securities. As part of executing these trades, New Residential has entered into agreements with its TBA counterparties that govern the transactions for the TBA purchases or sales made, including margin maintenance, payment and transfer, events of default, settlements, and various other provisions. New Residential has fulfilled all obligations and requirements entered into under these agreements. As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential separately held TBAs of $500 million in a long notional amount of Agency RMBS and any amounts or obligations owed by or to New Residential are subject to the right of setoff with the TBA counterparty. New Residential purchased these TBAs during the third quarter, but as the specific securities were not identified as of September 30, 2015 , the positions are recorded as a derivative within the Accrued expenses and other liabilities line in the condensed financial statements. As part of executing these trades, New Residential has entered into agreements with its TBA counterparties that govern the transactions for the TBA purchases or sales made, including margin maintenance, payment and transfer, events of default, settlements, and various other provisions. New Residential has fulfilled all obligations and requirements entered into under these agreements.

Servicer Advances During the first quarter of 2015, the Buyer entered into agreements to increase financing pursuant to one servicer advance facility and one of the notes, which settled in March 2015. The facility increased capacity from $500.0 million to $1.0 billion , and the note increased from $650.0 million to $800.0 million with a fixed interest rate equal to 2.50% and an expected repayment date of March 2017. In connection with the HLSS Acquisition, New Residential funded the purchase of servicer advances with notes issued under the HSART and HSART II facilities with a number of financial institutions consisting of (i) variable funding notes (“VFNs”) with a borrowing capacity of up to $5.0 billion and (ii) $2.5 billion of term notes issued to institutional investors. The VFNs generally bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR or a cost of funds rate plus (ii) a spread of 1.0% to 1.6% depending on the class of the notes. The VFNs in the HSART II facility have expected repayment dates in December 2015 and the VFNs in the HSART facility have expected repayment dates in April 2016. The term notes generally bear interest at approximately 2.0% and have expected repayment dates from October 2015 through June 2018. The VFN and the term notes are secured by servicer advances, and the financing is nonrecourse, except for customary recourse provisions. During the second quarter of 2015 , New Residential repaid a portion of the VFNs pursuant to the HSART facility with proceeds of new notes issued under a new servicer advance facility. This facility issued a VFN with a borrowing capacity of $0.4 billion . The VFN has an expected repayment date of April 2017. The VFN bears interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR or a cost of funds rate plus (ii) a spread of 1.95% . The VFN is secured by servicer advances, and the financing is nonrecourse, except for customary recourse provisions. On August 28, 2015, New Residential, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NRZ Advance Receivables Trust 2015-ON1 (“NRART”), issued servicer advance backed notes consisting of (i) VFNs with a borrowing capacity of up to $700.0 million and (ii) $800.0 million of term notes issued of which $44.0 million was voluntarily retained. New Residential repaid a portion of the VFNs pursuant to the HSART and HSART II facilities with proceeds of new notes issued under the NRART facility. The VFNs bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR plus (ii) a spread of 2.2% . The VFNs in the NRART facility have expected repayment dates in August 2016. The term notes bear interest at approximately 3.0% and have expected repayment dates from August 2016 through August 2018. The VFNs and term notes are secured by servicer advances, and the financing is nonrecourse, except for customary recourse provisions. On October 1, 2015 , an event of default (the “Specified Default”) occurred under the indenture related to certain notes issued by HLSS Servicer Advance Receivables Trust (“HSART”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Residential. The Specified Default occurred as a result of (and solely as a result of) Ocwen’s master servicer rating downgrade to “Below Average”, announced by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) on September 29, 2015. After giving effect to such downgrade, Ocwen ceased to be an “Eligible Subservicer” under the indenture causing the “Collateral Test” under the indenture to not be satisfied. The continuing failure of the Collateral Test as of close of business on October 1, 2015 resulted in the occurrence of the Specified Default. The Specified Default caused $2.5 billion of term notes issued by HSART to become immediately due and payable, without premium or penalty, as of the close of business on October 1, 2015, in accordance with the terms of HSART’s indenture. New Residential had previously secured approximately $4.0 billion of surplus servicer advance financing commitments from its lenders. HSART repaid all $2.5 billion of the term notes on October 2, 2015 in full with the proceeds of draws by HSART on variable funding notes previously issued by HSART. The holders of the variable funding notes issued by HSART previously agreed that the Specified Default would not be deemed an “event of default” under HSART’s indenture for purposes of their variable funding notes. After giving effect to the repayment of the term notes issued by HSART, the only outstanding notes issued by HSART are variable funding notes. The aggregate principal balance of such variable funding notes immediately after giving effect to the repayment of the term notes on October 2, 2015 equaled approximately $2.9 billion . No other material obligation of HSART arises, increases or accelerates as a result of the transactions described herein. Residential Mortgage Loans During the second quarter of 2015 , as a part of the HLSS Acquisition, New Residential acquired a portfolio of non-performing GNMA EBO residential mortgage loans with a UPB of $424.3 million for approximately $418.8 million , financed with a $393.0 million repurchase agreement with Barclays. Borrowings on this facility bear interest equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index rate equal to one-month LIBOR and (ii) a margin of 2.77% and have an expected repayment date in January 2016. This facility contains customary covenants and event of default provisions. On September 25, 2015, New Residential exercised its call rights related to seven seasoned Non-Agency RMBS trusts and purchased performing and non-performing loans with a UPB of approximately $216.3 million at a price of approximately $223.1 million , contained in such trusts prior to their termination. Additionally, New Residential acquired $1.5 million of real estate owned. Financing in the amount of $207.9 million was provided by Bank of America, N.A on an existing repurchase facility. Consumer Loan Investment During the second quarter of 2015 , New Residential entered into a $43.0 million repurchase agreement with Bank of America, N.A. Borrowings on this facility bear interest equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index rate equal to three-month LIBOR and (ii) a margin of 3.50% . This facility contains customary covenants and event of default provisions. Other During the second quarter of 2015 , New Residential entered into an agreement to increase financing on a $100.0 million secured corporate loan with Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital LLC, an affiliate of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC. The agreement increased capacity from $100.0 million to $205.0 million . The loan bore interest equal to the sum of (i) a floating rate index rate equal to one-month LIBOR and (ii) a margin of 3.75% . The loan agreement contained customary covenants and event of default provisions. The loan was repaid in May 2015.

For these pools, no delinquency assumption is used. As of September 30, 2015 , a weighted average discount rate of 9.8% was used to value New Residential’s investments in Excess MSRs (directly and through equity method investees). Investments in Servicer Advances Valuation The following table summarizes certain information regarding the inputs used in valuing the servicer advances: Significant Inputs Weighted Average Outstanding Servicer Advances to UPB of Underlying Residential Mortgage Loans Prepayment Speed Delinquency Mortgage Servicing Amount (A) Discount Rate September 30, 2015 2.4 % 10.5 % 17.5 % 20.6 bps 5.5 % (A) Mortgage servicing amount excludes the amounts New Residential pays its servicers as a monthly servicing fee. Real Estate Securities Valuation As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential’s securities valuation methodology and results are further detailed as follows: Fair Value Asset Type Outstanding Face Amount Amortized Cost Basis Multiple Quotes (A) Single Quote (B) Total Level Agency RMBS $ 1,192,781 $ 1,251,358 $ 1,249,285 $ — $ 1,249,285 2 Non-Agency RMBS (C) 2,594,423 1,166,464 821,555 357,889 1,179,444 3 Total $ 3,787,204 $ 2,417,822 $ 2,070,840 $ 357,889 $ 2,428,729 (A) New Residential generally obtained pricing service quotations or broker quotations from two sources, one of which was generally the seller (the party that sold New Residential the security) for Non-Agency RMBS. New Residential selected one of the quotes received as being most representative of the fair value and did not use an average of the quotes. Even if New Residential receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because it believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases there is a wide disparity between the quotes New Residential receives. New Residential believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on New Residential’s own fair value analysis, it selects one of the quotes which is believed to more accurately reflect fair value. New Residential never adjusts quotes received. These quotations are generally received via email and contain disclaimers which state that they are “indicative” and not “actionable” — meaning that the party giving the quotation is not bound to actually purchase the security at the quoted price. New Residential’s investments in Agency RMBS are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the market for these securities is very active and market prices are readily observable. (B) New Residential was unable to obtain quotations from more than one source on these securities. The one source was the party that sold New Residential the security. (C) Includes New Residential’s investments in interest-only notes for which the fair value option for financial instruments was elected. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. For residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and foreclosed real estate accounted for as REO, New Residential applies the lower of cost or fair value accounting and may be required, from time to time, to record a nonrecurring fair value adjustment. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis were $239.9 million and $666.6 million , respectively. The $239.9 million and the $666.6 million include approximately $211.0 million and $610.1 million of residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and $28.9 million and $56.5 million of REO, respectively. The fair value of New Residential’s mortgage loans held-for-sale are estimated based on a discounted cash flow model analysis using internal pricing models and categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the inputs used in valuing these residential mortgage loans as of September 30, 2015 : September 30, 2015 Fair Value Discount Rate Weighted Average Life (Years) (A) Prepayment Rate CDR (B) Loss Severity (C) Non-performing Loans $ 211,034 5.6 % 3.1 3.0 % N/A 29.7 % (A) The weighted average life is based on the expected timing of the receipt of cash flows. (B) Represents the annualized rate of the involuntary prepayments (defaults) as a percentage of the total principal balance. (C) Loss severity is the expected amount of future realized losses resulting from the ultimate liquidation of a particular loan, expressed as the net amount of loss relative to the outstanding loan balance. The fair value of REO is estimated using a broker’s price opinion discounted based upon New Residential’s experience with actual liquidation values and, therefore, is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These discounts to the broker price opinion are generally 10% . The total change in the recorded value of assets for which a fair value adjustment was included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was an increase due to a net reversal of valuation allowance of approximately $1.9 million and $1.4 million for residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and REO, respectively. Residential Mortgage Loans for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed The fair value of New Residential’s residential mortgage loans are estimated based on a discounted cash flow model analysis using internal pricing models and are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the inputs used in valuing residential mortgage loans as of September 30, 2015 : Carrying Value Fair Value Valuation Provision/ (Reversal) In Current Year Discount Rate Weighted Average Life (Years) (A) Prepayment Rate CDR (B) Loss Severity (C) Reverse Mortgage Loans (D) $ 20,316 $ 20,316 $ 245 10.0 % 4.1 N/A N/A 7.4 % Performing Loans 225,666 228,494 118 5.3 % 6.5 16.3 % 1.6 % 32.7 % Non-performing Loans 297,714 300,225 N/A 5.2 % 1.7 2.1 % N/A 29.4 % Total/Weighted Average $ 543,696 $ 549,035 $ 363 5.4 % 3.8 30.0 % (A) The weighted average life is based on the expected timing of the receipt of cash flows. (B) Represents the annualized rate of the involuntary prepayments (defaults) as a percentage of the total principal balance. (C) Loss severity is the expected amount of future realized losses resulting from the ultimate liquidation of a particular loan, expressed as the net amount of loss relative to the outstanding loan balance. (D) Carrying value and fair value represent a 70% interest New Residential holds in the reverse mortgage loans. Derivative Valuation New Residential enters into economic hedges including interest rate swaps and TBAs, which are categorized as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. New Residential generally values such derivatives using quotations, similarly to the method of valuation used for New Residential’s other assets that are categorized as Level 2. Liabilities for Which Fair Value is Only Disclosed Repurchase agreements and notes payable are not measured at fair value. They are generally considered to be Level 2 and Level 3 in the valuation hierarchy, respectively, with significant valuation variables including the amount and timing of expected cash flows, interest rates and collateral funding spreads. Short-term repurchase agreements and short-term notes payable have an estimated fair value equal to their carrying value due to their short duration and generally floating interest rates. Longer-term notes payable are valued based on internal models utilizing both observable and unobservable inputs. As of September 30, 2015 , the notes payable have an estimated fair value of $7,265.7 million and a carrying value of $7,245.2 million .

Equity and Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE	EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE Equity and Dividends New Residential’s Board of Directors authorized a one-for-two reverse stock split on August 5, 2014, subject to stockholder approval. In a special meeting on October 15, 2014, New Residential’s stockholders approved the reverse split. On October 17, 2014, New Residential effected the one-for-two reverse stock split of its common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every two shares of New Residential’s common stock were converted into one share of common stock, reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares of New Residential’s common stock from approximately 282.8 million to approximately 141.4 million . The impact of this reverse stock split has been retroactively applied to all periods presented. In April 2015, New Residential issued the New Residential Acquisition Common Stock in connection with the HLSS Acquisition (Note 1). In April 2015, New Residential issued 29,213,020 shares of its common stock in a public offering at a price to the public of $15.25 per share for net proceeds of approximately $436.1 million . One of New Residential’s executive officers participated in this offering and purchased 250,000 shares at the public offering price. For the purpose of compensating the Manager for its successful efforts in raising capital for New Residential, in connection with this offering and the New Residential Acquisition Common Stock issued in the HLSS Acquisition, New Residential granted options to the Manager to purchase 5,750,000 shares of New Residential’s common stock at a price of $15.25 , which had a fair value of approximately $8.9 million as of the grant date. The assumptions used in valuing the options were: a 2.02% risk-free rate, a 6.71% dividend yield, 24.04% volatility and a 10 year term. In June 2015, New Residential issued 27.9 million shares of its common stock in a public offering at a price to the public of $15.88 per share for net proceeds of approximately $442.6 million . One of New Residential’s executive officers participated in this offering and purchased 9,100 shares at the public offering price. For the purpose of compensating the Manager for its successful efforts in raising capital for New Residential, in connection with this offering, New Residential granted options to the Manager to purchase 2.8 million shares of New Residential’s common stock at the public offering price, which had a fair value of approximately $3.7 million as of the grant date. The assumptions used in valuing the options were: a 2.61% risk-free rate, a 7.81% dividend yield, 23.73% volatility and a 10 year term. In addition, the Manager and its employees exercised an aggregate of 6.2 million options and were issued an aggregate of 3.6 million shares of New Residential’s common stock in a cashless exercise, which were sold to third parties in a simultaneous secondary offering. In July 2015, one former employee of the Manager exercised an aggregate of 37,500 options and received 20,227 shares of New Residential’s common stock in a cashless exercise. On December 18, 2014, New Residential’s Board of Directors declared a fourth quarter 2014 dividend of $0.38 per common share or $53.7 million , which was paid on January 30, 2015 to stockholders of record as of December 30, 2014. On March 16, 2015, New Residential’s Board of Directors declared a first quarter 2015 dividend of $0.38 per common share or $53.7 million , which was paid on April 30, 2015 to stockholders of record as of March 26, 2015. On May 14, 2015, New Residential’s Board of Directors declared a second quarter 2015 dividend of $0.45 per common share or $89.5 million , which was paid on July 24, 2015 to stockholders of record as of May 26, 2015. On September 18, 2015, New Residential’s Board of Directors declared a third quarter 2015 dividend of $0.46 per common share or $106.0 million , which was paid on October 30, 2015 to shareholders of record as of October 5, 2015. Approximately 2.4 million shares of New Residential’s common stock were held by Fortress, through its affiliates, and its principals at September 30, 2015 . Option Plan As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential’s outstanding options were summarized as follows: Issued Prior to 2011 Issued in 2011-2015 Total Held by the Manager 345,720 10,582,861 10,928,581 Issued to the Manager and subsequently transferred to certain of the Manager’s employees 88,280 1,359,248 1,447,528 Issued to the independent directors — 4,000 4,000 Total 434,000 11,946,109 12,380,109 The following table summarizes New Residential’s outstanding options as of September 30, 2015 .

The options exercised had an intrinsic value of $60.5 million . Income and Earnings Per Share New Residential is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period. New Residential’s common stock equivalents are its outstanding stock options. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , based on the treasury stock method, New Residential had 759,667 and 2,821,758 dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , based on the treasury stock method, New Residential had 2,955,021 and 3,158,619 dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding, respectively. Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling interests is comprised of the interests held by third parties in consolidated entities that hold New Residential’s investments in servicer advances (Note 6) and HLSS for the period of April 6, 2015 through October 23, 2015.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation – New Residential may, from time to time, be involved in various disputes, litigation and regulatory inquiries and investigations, some of which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential is not subject to any material litigation, individually or in the aggregate, nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation or regulatory inquiry or investigation that would likely result in a material adverse effect currently threatened against New Residential, except as described below. In addition, New Residential is not aware of any unasserted claims that it believes are material and probable of assertion where the risk of loss is expected to be reasonably possible. Following the HLSS Acquisition (see Note 1 for related defined terms), material potential claims, lawsuits, and other proceedings, of which New Residential is currently aware, are as follows. New Residential has not accrued losses in connection with these legal contingencies because it does not believe there is a probable and reasonably estimable loss. Furthermore, New Residential cannot reasonably estimate the range of potential loss related to these legal contingencies at this time. Three putative class action lawsuits have been filed against HLSS and certain of its current and former officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York entitled: (i) Oliveira v. Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd., et al. , No. 15-CV-652 (S.D.N.Y.), filed on January 29, 2015; (ii) Berglan v. Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd., et al. , No. 15-CV-947 (S.D.N.Y.), filed on February 9, 2015; and (iii) W. Palm Beach Police Pension Fund v. Home Loan Servicing Solutions, Ltd., et al. , No. 15-CV-1063 (S.D.N.Y.), filed on February 13, 2015. On April 2, 2015, these three lawsuits were consolidated into a single action, which is referred to as the “New York Action.” On April 28, 2015, lead plaintiffs, lead counsel and liaison counsel were appointed in the New York Action. On September 14, 2015, the court in the New York Action ordered lead plaintiffs to file an amended class action complaint by November 9, 2015. The New York Action names as defendants HLSS, former HLSS Chairman William C. Erbey, HLSS Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer John P. Van Vlack, and HLSS Chief Financial Officer James E. Lauter. The New York Action asserts causes of action under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on certain public disclosures made by HLSS relating to its relationship with Ocwen and HLSS’s risk management and internal controls. More specifically, the consolidated class action complaint alleges that a series of statements in HLSS’s disclosures were materially false and misleading, including statements about (i) Ocwen’s servicing capabilities; (ii) HLSS’s contingencies and legal proceedings; (iii) its risk management and internal controls and (iv) certain related party transactions. The consolidated class action complaint also appears to allege that HLSS’s financial statements for the years ended 2012 and 2013, and the first quarter ended March 30, 2014, were false and misleading based on HLSS’s August 18, 2014 restatement. Lead plaintiffs in the New York Action also allege that HLSS misled investors by failing to disclose, among other things, information regarding governmental investigations of Ocwen’s business practices. New Residential intends to vigorously defend the New York Action. Two shareholder derivative actions have been filed purportedly on behalf of Ocwen Financial Corporation naming as defendants HLSS and certain current and former directors and officers of Ocwen, including former HLSS Chairman William C. Erbey, entitled (i) Sokolowski v. Erbey, et al. , No. 9:14-CV-81601 (S.D. Fla.), filed on December 24, 2014 (the “Sokolowski Action”), and (ii) Moncavage v. Faris, et al. , No. 2015CA003244 (Fla. Palm Beach Cty. Ct.), filed on March 20, 2015 (collectively, with the Sokolowski Action, the “Ocwen Derivative Actions”). The original complaint in the Sokolowski Action named as defendants certain current and former directors and officers of Ocwen, including former HLSS Chairman William C. Erbey. On February 11, 2015, plaintiff in the Sokolowski Action filed an amended complaint naming additional defendants, including HLSS. The Ocwen Derivative Actions assert a cause of action for aiding and abetting certain alleged breaches of fiduciary duty under Florida law against HLSS and others, and claim that HLSS (i) substantially assisted Ocwen’s alleged wrongful conduct by purchasing Ocwen’s mortgage servicing rights and (ii) received improper benefits as a result of its business dealings with Ocwen due to Mr. Erbey’s purported control over both HLSS and Ocwen. Additionally, the Sokolowski Action asserts a cause of action for unjust enrichment against HLSS and others. On March 11, 2015, plaintiff David Rattner filed a shareholder derivative action purportedly on behalf of HLSS entitled Rattner v. Van Vlack, et al. , No. 2015CA002833 (Fla. Palm Beach Cty. Ct.) (the “HLSS Derivative Action”). The lawsuit names as defendants HLSS directors John P. Van Vlack, Robert J. McGinnis, Kerry Kennedy, Richard J. Lochrie, and David B. Reiner (collectively, the “Director Defendants”), New Residential Investment Corp., and Hexagon Merger Sub, Ltd. The HLSS Derivative Action alleges that the Director Defendants breached their fiduciary duties of due care, diligence, loyalty, honesty and good faith and the duty to act in the best interests of HLSS under Cayman law and claims that the Director Defendants approved a proposed merger with New Residential Investment Corp. that (i) provided inadequate consideration to HLSS’s shareholders, (ii) included unfair deal protection devices, (iii) and was the result of an inadequate process due to conflicts of interest. On July 8, 2015, the complaint was voluntarily dismissed without prejudice. On September 15, 2014, the SEC instituted an investigation into HLSS’s restatement of its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and disclosures concerning related party transactions (the “HLSS Investigation”). HLSS agreed to resolve such matter by consenting to the entry of a Cease and Desist Order, without admitting or denying that HLSS violated Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A), and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, and 13a-13 promulgated thereunder, and to a settlement payment of $1.5 million to the SEC. On October 5, 2015, the terms of the settlement were approved and accepted by the SEC. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, New Residential acquired substantially all of the assets of HLSS and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of HLSS, including the obligation for the aforementioned settlement payment. The matter giving rise to the HLSS Investigation and related settlement is unrelated to any activities of New Residential. During the first three quarters of 2015, through their investment manager, certain bondholders (the “HSART Bondholders”) alleged that events of default had occurred under a debt issuance (HSART, see Notes 1 and 11) secured by a portion of the servicer advances acquired from HLSS and that, as a result, the HSART Bondholders were due additional interest under the related agreements. In February 2015, in response to such allegations, instead of releasing such amounts to the New Residential subsidiary that sponsors the HSART transaction entitled thereto, the trustee of HSART began to withhold, monthly, such interest (the “Withheld Funds”) so that such amounts were reserved in the event that it was determined that any of the alleged events of default had occurred. On August 28, 2015, the trustee commenced a legal proceeding requesting instruction from the court regarding the alleged defaults and the disposition of the Withheld Funds. On October 2, 2015, the notes held by the HSART Bondholders were repaid in full. On October 14, 2015, the court ruled that no event of default had occurred under HSART, authorized the trustee to release the Withheld Funds and dismissed the legal proceeding. As a result of this ruling, $92.7 million was released from restricted cash accounts related to HSART and is now available for unrestricted use by New Residential. HLSS has been and continues to be subject to other inquiries by government and other entities, as disclosed in HLSS’s filings with the SEC. New Residential is, from time to time, subject to inquiries by government entities. New Residential currently does not believe any of these inquiries would result in a material adverse effect on New Residential’s business. Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, New Residential and its subsidiaries enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. New Residential’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against New Residential that have not yet occurred. However, based on Newcastle’s and its own experience, New Residential expects the risk of material loss to be remote. Capital Commitments — As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential had outstanding capital commitments related to investments in the following investment types (also refer to Note 18 for additional capital commitments entered into subsequent to September 30, 2015 ): Excess MSRs — As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential had outstanding capital commitments related to the acquisition of Excess MSRs on portfolios of Agency residential mortgage loans as discussed in Note 18. See Notes 4 and 5 for information on New Residential’s investments in Excess MSRs. Servicer Advances — New Residential and third-party co-investors agreed to purchase future servicer advances related to Non-Agency mortgage loans. The actual amount of future advances purchased will be based on: (a) the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans, (b) the amount of advances recoverable prior to liquidation of the related collateral and (c) the percentage of the loans with respect to which no additional advance obligations are made. The actual amount of future advances is subject to significant uncertainty. See Note 6 for information on New Residential’s investments in servicer advances. Residential Mortgage Loans — As part of its investment in residential mortgage loans, New Residential may be required to outlay capital. These capital outflows primarily consist of advance escrow and tax payments, residential maintenance and property disposition fees. The actual amount of these outflows is subject to significant uncertainty. See Note 8 for information on New Residential’s investments in residential mortgage loans. Debt Covenants — New Residential’s debt obligations contain various customary debt covenants (Note 11). Certain Tax-Related Covenants — If New Residential is treated as a successor to Newcastle under applicable U.S. federal income tax rules, and if Newcastle fails to qualify as a REIT, New Residential could be prohibited from electing to be a REIT. Accordingly, Newcastle has (i) represented that it has no knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would cause New Residential to fail to qualify as a REIT, (ii) covenanted to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with New Residential as necessary to enable New Residential to qualify for taxation as a REIT and receive customary legal opinions concerning REIT status, including providing information and representations to New Residential and its tax counsel with respect to the composition of Newcastle’s income and assets, the composition of its stockholders, and its operation as a REIT; and (iii) covenanted to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain its REIT status for each of Newcastle’s taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2014 (unless Newcastle obtains an opinion from a nationally recognized tax counsel or a private letter ruling from the IRS to the effect that Newcastle’s failure to maintain its REIT status will not cause New Residential to fail to qualify as a REIT under the successor REIT rule referred to above). Additionally, New Residential covenanted to use its reasonable best efforts to qualify for taxation as a REIT for its taxable year ended December 31, 2013.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES	TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES New Residential is party to a Management Agreement with its Manager which provides for automatically renewing one-year terms subject to certain termination rights. The Manager’s performance is reviewed annually and the Management Agreement may be terminated by New Residential by payment of a termination fee, as defined in the Management Agreement, equal to the amount of management fees earned by the Manager during the twelve consecutive calendar months immediately preceding the termination, upon the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the independent directors, or by a majority vote of the holders of common stock. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Manager, under the supervision of New Residential’s board of directors, formulates investment strategies, arranges for the acquisition of assets and associated financing, monitors the performance of New Residential’s assets and provides certain advisory, administrative and managerial services in connection with the operations of New Residential. Effective May 15, 2013, the Manager is entitled to receive a management fee in an amount equal to 1.5% per annum of New Residential’s gross equity calculated and payable monthly in arrears in cash. Gross equity is generally the equity transferred by Newcastle on the distribution date, plus total net proceeds from stock offerings, plus certain capital contributions to subsidiaries, less capital distributions and repurchases of common stock. In addition, effective May 15, 2013, the Manager is entitled to receive annual incentive compensation in an amount equal to the product of (A) 25% of the dollar amount by which (1) (a) New Residential’s funds from operations before the incentive compensation, excluding funds from operations from investments in the Consumer Loan Companies and any unrealized gains or losses from mark-to-market valuation changes on investments and debt (and any deferred tax impact thereof), per share of common stock, plus (b) earnings (or losses) from the Consumer Loan Companies computed on a level-yield basis (such that the loans are treated as if they qualified as loans acquired with a discount for credit quality as set forth in ASC No. 310-30, as such codification was in effect on June 30, 2013) as if the Consumer Loan Companies had been acquired at their GAAP basis on May 15, 2013, earnings (or losses) from equity method investees invested in Excess MSRs as if such equity method investees had not made a fair value election, and gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and gains (or losses) from sales of property and other assets, in each case per share of common stock, exceed (2) an amount equal to (a) the weighted average of the book value per share of the equity transferred by Newcastle on the date of the spin-off and the prices per share of New Residential’s common stock in any offerings (adjusted for prior capital dividends or capital distributions) multiplied by (b) a simple interest rate of 10% per annum, multiplied by (B) the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. “Funds from operations” means net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations will be computed on an unconsolidated basis. The computation of funds from operations may be adjusted at the direction of New Residential’s independent directors based on changes in, or certain applications of, GAAP. Funds from operations is determined from the date of the spin-off and without regard to Newcastle’s prior performance. In addition to the management fee and incentive compensation, New Residential is responsible for reimbursing the Manager for certain expenses paid by the Manager on behalf of New Residential. Due to affiliates is comprised of the following amounts: September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Management fees $ 3,224 $ 1,710 Incentive compensation 7,895 54,334 Expense reimbursements and other 1,279 1,380 $ 12,398 $ 57,424 Affiliate expenses and fees were comprised of: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Management fees $ 9,860 $ 5,124 $ 23,357 $ 14,525 Incentive compensation 1,811 10,910 7,895 33,111 Expense reimbursements (A) 125 125 375 375 Total $ 11,796 $ 16,159 $ 31,627 $ 48,011 (A) Included in General and Administrative Expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. On May 7, 2015, New Residential entered into the Third Amended and Restated Management and Advisory Agreement with the Manager, which amends and restates the Second Amended and Restated Management and Advisory Agreement, dated as of August 5, 2014, in order to amortize certain non-capitalized transaction-related expenses over time in the computation of incentive compensation. The impact of this change on the six months ended June 30, 2015 was to increase incentive compensation by $3.3 million . See Notes 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 14 and 18 for a discussion of transactions with Nationstar. As of September 30, 2015 , 62.9% and 35.3% of the UPB of the loans underlying New Residential’s investments in Excess MSRs and servicer advances, respectively, was serviced or master serviced by Nationstar. As of September 30, 2015 , a total face amount of $1.9 billion of New Residential’s Non-Agency RMBS portfolio and approximately $27.2 million of New Residential’s Agency RMBS portfolio was serviced or master serviced by Nationstar. The total UPB of the loans underlying these Nationstar serviced Non-Agency RMBS was approximately $8.4 billion as of September 30, 2015 . New Residential holds a limited right to cleanup call options with respect to certain securitization trusts serviced or master serviced by Nationstar with an aggregate UPB of underlying mortgage loans of approximately $82.2 billion whereby, when the outstanding balance falls below a pre-determined threshold, it can effectively purchase the underlying mortgage loans by repaying all of the outstanding securitization financing at par plus unreimbursed servicer advances, in exchange for a fee paid to Nationstar. New Residential continues to evaluate the call rights it purchased from Nationstar, and its ability to exercise such rights and realize the benefits therefrom are subject to a number of risks. The actual UPB of the mortgage loans on which New Residential can successfully exercise call rights and realize the benefits therefrom may differ materially from its initial assumptions. As of September 30, 2015 , $510.4 million UPB of New Residential’s residential mortgage loans and $23.5 million of New Residential’s REO were being serviced by Nationstar. As a result of these relationships, New Residential routinely has receivables from, and payables to, Nationstar, which are included in Other Assets and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities, respectively. See Note 9 for a discussion of a transaction with Springleaf and Note 5 regarding co-investments with Fortress-managed funds.

A REIT is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on that portion of its income that is distributed to stockholders if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders by prescribed dates and complies with various other requirements. New Residential operates various securitization vehicles and has made certain investments, particularly its investments in servicer advances (Note 6) and REO (Note 8), through TRSs that are subject to regular corporate income taxes which have been provided for in the provision for income taxes, as applicable. New Residential and its subsidiaries file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions beginning with the tax year ending December 31, 2013. Generally, these income tax returns will be subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for a period of three years after the date of filing. As of December 31, 2014 , New Residential recorded an increase to the income tax provision of $2.3 million for unrecognized tax benefits. The reserve for unrecognized tax benefits related to state and local tax positions expected to be taken on the income tax returns. As a result of information received from local tax authorities, New Residential has determined that the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits is no longer needed and has reduced the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits to zero as of March 31, 2015. As a result, New Residential recorded a benefit of $2.3 million to the income tax provision as of March 31, 2015. On April 6, 2015, as a part of the purchase price allocation related to the HLSS Acquisition (Note 1), New Residential recorded an increase to its deferred tax asset of $186.8 million . The deferred tax asset primarily relates to the difference in the book basis and tax basis of New Residential’s investment in servicer advances. New Residential believes that such deferred tax asset is more likely than not to be realized and, therefore, no valuation allowance has been recorded against such deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2015 . New Residential has recorded a net deferred tax asset of approximately $162.8 million as of September 30, 2015 , comprised of a deferred tax asset of $180.3 million primarily related to basis differences in all servicer advances held by New Residential’s TRSs, offset by a deferred tax liability of $17.5 million primarily related to unrealized gains.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	These financial statements include a discussion of material events that have occurred subsequent to September 30, 2015 (referred to as “subsequent events”) through the issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Events subsequent to that date have not been considered in these financial statements. Excess MSRs On October 27, 2015 and November 2, 2015, New Residential invested approximately $76.3 million and $35.0 million , respectively, to acquire a 66.7% interest in the Excess MSRs on a portfolio of Fannie Mae residential mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $17.6 billion . Nationstar agreed to acquire a 33.3% interest in the Excess MSRs. Nationstar as servicer agreed to perform all servicing and advancing functions, and retain the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer of the underlying loans in each of the portfolios. Under the terms of the investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by New Residential and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations. New Residential has remaining commitments of $5.8 million to invest in Excess MSRs on this portfolio of Fannie Mae residential mortgage loans. On October 27, 2015, New Residential invested approximately $9.7 million to acquire a 66.7% interest in the Excess MSRs on a portfolio of Fannie Mae residential mortgage loans with an aggregate UPB of $1.7 billion . Nationstar agreed to acquire a 33.3% interest in the Excess MSRs. Nationstar as servicer agreed to perform all servicing and advancing functions, and retain the ancillary income, servicing obligations and liabilities as the servicer of the underlying loans in each of the portfolios. Under the terms of the investment, to the extent that any loans in the portfolio are refinanced by Nationstar, the resulting Excess MSRs are shared on a pro rata basis by New Residential and Nationstar, subject to certain limitations. Servicer Advances See Note 11 for a discussion of the HSART refinancing. Residential Mortgage Loans On November 3, 2015, New Residential committed to purchase two pools of non-performing residential mortgage loans with a UPB of approximately $654.7 million at a price of approximately $442.6 million . The acquisitions of the two pools are expected to settle on December 15, 2015. Corporate Activities On September 18, 2015, New Residential’s Board of Directors declared a third quarter 2015 dividend of $0.46 per common share or $106.0 million , which was paid on October 30, 2015 to stockholders of record as of October 5, 2015. The New Merger (Note 1) was completed on October 23, 2015. On October 13, 2015, New Residential entered into a settlement agreement in connection with which a subsidiary of New Residential was liable for a $9.1 million payment to certain HSART Bondholders (Note 14), which was accrued at September 30, 2015 and recorded within General and Administrative Expenses; this agreement did not impact other former or existing bondholders of HSART.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of New Residential have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of New Residential’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with New Residential’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and notes thereto included in New Residential’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise defined, are defined in New Residential’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 . Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. In addition, New Residential completed a one-for-two reverse stock split in October 2014 (Note 13). The impact of this reverse stock split has been retroactively applied to all periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) . The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In effect, companies will be required to exercise further judgment and make more estimates prospectively. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for New Residential in the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in ASU No. 2014-09. New Residential is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures . The standard changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and linked repurchase financing transactions to secured borrowing accounting. ASU No. 2014-11 also expands disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU No. 2014-11 was effective for New Residential in the first quarter of 2015. Disclosures are not required for comparative periods presented before the effective date. New Residential has determined that, as of January 1, 2015, its linked transactions (Note 10) are accounted for as secured borrowings. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern . The standard provides guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by requiring management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding on certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for New Residential for the annual period ending on December 31, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. New Residential is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact that it may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . The standard amends the consolidation considerations when evaluating certain limited partnerships, variable interest entities and investment funds. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for New Residential in the first quarter of 2016. Early adoption is permitted. New Residential does not expect the adoption of this new guidance to have an impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest . The standard amends the balance sheet presentation requirements for debt issuance costs such that they are no longer recognized as deferred charges but are rather presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for New Residential in the first quarter of 2016. Early adoption is permitted. New Residential has adopted ASU No. 2015-03 in June 2015 and has determined that the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 resulted in an immaterial reclassification of its Deferred Financing Costs, Net (Note 2) to an offset of its Notes Payable (Note 11). The FASB has recently issued or discussed a number of proposed standards on such topics as financial statement presentation, financial instruments and hedging. Some of the proposed changes are significant and could have a material impact on New Residential’s reporting. New Residential has not yet fully evaluated the potential impact of these proposals, but will make such an evaluation as the standards are finalized.

(B) The weighted average rating of securities in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months excludes the rating of 23 bonds which either have never been rated or for which rating information is no longer provided. New Residential performed an assessment of all of its debt securities that are in an unrealized loss position (an unrealized loss position exists when a security’s amortized cost basis, excluding the effect of OTTI, exceeds its fair value) and determined the following: September 30, 2015 Unrealized Losses Fair Value Amortized Cost Basis After Impairment Credit (A) Non-Credit (B) Securities New Residential intends to sell (C) $ — $ — $ — $ — Securities New Residential is more likely than not to be required to sell (D) — — — N/A Securities New Residential has no intent to sell and is not more likely than not to be required to sell: Credit impaired securities 111,179 113,435 (2,869 ) (2,256 ) Non-credit impaired securities 525,000 534,968 — (9,968 ) Total debt securities in an unrealized loss position $ 636,179 $ 648,403 $ (2,869 ) $ (12,224 ) (A) This amount is required to be recorded as other-than-temporary impairment through earnings. In measuring the portion of credit losses, New Residential estimates the expected cash flow for each of the securities. This evaluation includes a review of the credit status and the performance of the collateral supporting those securities, including the credit of the issuer, key terms of the securities and the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends. Significant inputs in estimating the cash flows include New Residential’s expectations of prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severities. Credit losses are measured as the decline in the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate. (B) This amount represents unrealized losses on securities that are due to non-credit factors and recorded through other comprehensive income. (C) A portion of securities New Residential intends to sell have a fair value equal to their amortized cost basis after impairment and, therefore, do no t have unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2015 . (D) New Residential may, at times, be more likely than not to be required to sell certain securities for liquidity purposes. While the amount of the securities to be sold may be an estimate, and the securities to be sold have not yet been identified, New Residential must make its best estimate, which is subject to significant judgment regarding future events, and may differ materially from actual future sales.

Schedule of Securities Valuation Methodology and Results	As of September 30, 2015 , New Residential’s securities valuation methodology and results are further detailed as follows: Fair Value Asset Type Outstanding Face Amount Amortized Cost Basis Multiple Quotes (A) Single Quote (B) Total Level Agency RMBS $ 1,192,781 $ 1,251,358 $ 1,249,285 $ — $ 1,249,285 2 Non-Agency RMBS (C) 2,594,423 1,166,464 821,555 357,889 1,179,444 3 Total $ 3,787,204 $ 2,417,822 $ 2,070,840 $ 357,889 $ 2,428,729 (A) New Residential generally obtained pricing service quotations or broker quotations from two sources, one of which was generally the seller (the party that sold New Residential the security) for Non-Agency RMBS. New Residential selected one of the quotes received as being most representative of the fair value and did not use an average of the quotes. Even if New Residential receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because it believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases there is a wide disparity between the quotes New Residential receives. New Residential believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on New Residential’s own fair value analysis, it selects one of the quotes which is believed to more accurately reflect fair value. New Residential never adjusts quotes received. These quotations are generally received via email and contain disclaimers which state that they are “indicative” and not “actionable” — meaning that the party giving the quotation is not bound to actually purchase the security at the quoted price. New Residential’s investments in Agency RMBS are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the market for these securities is very active and market prices are readily observable. (B) New Residential was unable to obtain quotations from more than one source on these securities. The one source was the party that sold New Residential the security. (C) Includes New Residential’s investments in interest-only notes for which the fair value option for financial instruments was elected.

[1]	A portion of securities New Residential intends to sell have a fair value equal to their amortized cost basis after impairment and, therefore, do not have unrealized losses reflected in other comprehensive income as of September 30, 2015.
[2]	This amount is required to be recorded as other-than-temporary impairment through earnings. In measuring the portion of credit losses, New Residential estimates the expected cash flow for each of the securities. This evaluation includes a review of the credit status and the performance of the collateral supporting those securities, including the credit of the issuer, key terms of the securities and the effect of local, industry and broader economic trends. Significant inputs in estimating the cash flows include New Residential’s expectations of prepayment speeds, default rates and loss severities. Credit losses are measured as the decline in the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the investment’s effective interest rate.
[3]	This amount represents unrealized losses on securities that are due to non-credit factors and recorded through other comprehensive income.
[4]	New Residential may, at times, be more likely than not to be required to sell certain securities for liquidity purposes. While the amount of the securities to be sold may be an estimate, and the securities to be sold have not yet been identified, New Residential must make its best estimate, which is subject to significant judgment regarding future events, and may differ materially from actual future sales.

Even if New Residential receives two or more quotes on a particular security that come from non-selling brokers or pricing services, it does not use an average because it believes using an actual quote more closely represents a transactable price for the security than an average level. Furthermore, in some cases there is a wide disparity between the quotes New Residential receives. New Residential believes using an average of the quotes in these cases would not represent the fair value of the asset. Based on New Residential’s own fair value analysis, it selects one of the quotes which is believed to more accurately reflect fair value. New Residential never adjusts quotes received. These quotations are generally received via email and contain disclaimers which state that they are “indicative” and not “actionable” — meaning that the party giving the quotation is not bound to actually purchase the security at the quoted price. New Residential’s investments in Agency RMBS are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because the market for these securities is very active and market prices are readily observable.
