CEO COMMENTARY

Commenting on the Company's third quarter performance, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Joseph M. Otting stated, “During the third quarter, we made significant progress on each of our strategic priorities, as we continue to transition into a diversified regional bank. The first of which is our funding mix. We had a second consecutive quarter of strong deposit growth, especially in the Private Bank, where we are seeing many customers returning to Flagstar and we are winning new relationships. Also, we utilized a portion of our liquidity from deposit growth and previously announced business transaction, to pay down a significant amount of wholesale borrowings. Wholesale borrowings declined nearly $9 billion or 31% to $19 billion, while deposits increased $4 billion or 5% to $83 billion. This positive shift in our overall funding mix will help reduce our overall funding costs.

“On the asset quality front, we have completed 97% of our annual review of the multi-family and commercial real estate portfolios and have taken substantial charge-offs across the portfolio. Our CRE exposure continues to decline through a combination of par pay-offs and proactively managing problem loans. Total CRE loans declined 3% compared to the previous quarter and decreased 6% year-to-date. Additionally, while non-accrual loans increased during the third quarter, 68% are current, up from 61% last quarter. Furthermore, of the $2.1 billion of multi-family loans that have repriced this year, over 90% have paid off at par or remain current.

“We have also continued to invest in our business. We continue to invest in our risk management infrastructure and have enhanced our risk team with several new hires. In addition, we expanded our C&I leadership team with the hiring of several accomplished senior executives while building out our coverage and infrastructure by recruiting over 30 teammates in commercial banking, to bolster our commercial banking growth strategy.

“Following the end of the quarter, we took actions to reduce costs across our entire organization. These steps reflect our commitment to our financial objectives, and we anticipate further cost reductions as we continue to implement efficiency initiatives.

“Also, ten days ago we announced another milestone in our ongoing transformation, changing our holding company name to Flagstar Financial, Inc. and our stock symbol to FLG, effective at 5 p.m. today. We expect to begin trading under the new symbol on Monday. The new holding company name complements the re-branding of the Bank and our branches we undertook earlier in the year. The Company name change is a continuation of those efforts and unifies the organization and our vision under one brand.

“Moreover, at yesterday's Board of Directors meeting, director Peter Schoels tendered his resignation from both the Bank and the Company boards. Peter has been a director of the Company since the close of the merger almost two years ago. Before then he was a long-standing director at legacy Flagstar. For myself and my fellow board members, Peter's insights and business acumen have served the organization well and I would like to thank him for his many years of service. The Board intends to fill the vacancy left by his departure.

“I remain confident in our ability to successfully execute on our strategic plan and transform the Company into a regional bank with meaningful earnings power and a strong balance sheet.

“Finally, I would like to thank each of our teammates for their unwavering commitment and dedication to the Bank and its customers.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter 2024 totaled $510 million, down $47 million, or 8%, compared to second quarter 2024, and down $372 million or 42%, compared to the third quarter of 2023. The decline from second quarter 2024 is primarily due to lower average loan balances arising from the sale of the mortgage warehouse business, which closed during the third quarter of 2024, continued payoffs in both the multi-family and commercial real estate portfolios, and a decline in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, driven by the Company's strategy to exit certain non-relationship based loans, and strong deposit growth which was driven by promotional rates. This was partially offset by a higher level of average cash balances, and lower average borrowed funds. The decline relative to the third quarter of 2023 was almost entirely the result of higher average interest-bearing liabilities combined with an increase in the cost of funds. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities was driven by increases in both average interest-bearing deposits and average borrowed funds. This was partially offset by growth in average interest-earnings assets, as the decline in average loan balances was offset by higher average cash balances and higher average investment securities balances.

For the first nine months of 2024, net interest income decreased $646 million or 28% to $1.7 billion compared to $2.3 billion for the first nine months of 2023. The decline is attributable to an 18% increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $87.2 billion, including a 41% increase in average borrowed funds and a 10% increase in average interest-bearing deposits to $60.9 billion.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for the third quarter 2024 was 1.79%, down 19 basis points compared to second quarter 2024 and down 148 basis points compared to third quarter 2023. The 19 basis points reduction compared to second quarter 2024 was the result of a 22 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 4.37% along with a $4.0 billion or 7% increase in average interest-bearing deposits to $63.6 billion. The majority of the average deposit growth was centered on savings accounts and certificates of deposits, as we continued to attract new customers and balances in our promotional savings products. This was partially offset by a decline in average borrowed funds, which decreased $4.2 billion or 15% to $24.5 billion, while the average cost of borrowed funds remained unchanged at 5.28%.

The 148 basis point reduction in the net interest margin compared to the third quarter of 2023 was also due to the result of a higher level of average interest-bearing liabilities combined with an increase in the average cost of funds. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $14.0 billion or 19% to $88.1 billion, while the average cost of funds increased 125 basis points to 4.62%, driven by a 175 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowed funds and a 104 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits. This was partially offset by a $5.9 billion or 5% increase in average interest-earnings assets to $113.0 billion, driven primarily by a $12.8 billion or 118% increase in average cash balances to $23.6 billion. This was partially offset by a $9.1 billion or 11% decline in average loan balances to $76.6 billion.

During the first nine months of 2024, the net interest margin was 2.01%, down 104 basis points compared to the first nine months of 2023. The year-over-year decline was mainly the result of a higher cost of funds due to the impact of a higher interest rate environment and deposit competition. This was coupled with an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities as both average deposits and average borrowed funds rose over the course of the first nine months of 2024. The average cost of funds rose 136 basis points to 4.45% driven by a 179 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings and a 119 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits. This was partially offset by higher asset yields, as the average yield on average interest-earning assets increased 20 basis points to 5.47%.

During third quarter 2024, average loan balances decreased $6.7 billion, or 8%, to $76.6 billion compared to the previous quarter primarily driven by lower multi-family, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loan balances. On a year-over-year basis, average loans declined $9.1 billion or 11%, also driven by lower multi-family, commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial loan balances. Average cash balances increased $5.7 billion or 32% to $23.6 billion compared to the previous quarter, reflecting strong deposit growth during the quarter and proceeds from the sale of the mortgage warehouse business of approximately $6 billion. Cash balances were utilized to proactively manage our liquidity during the third quarter and a portion was used to pay down borrowed funds. Average cash balances on a year-over-year basis increased $12.8 billion or 118% to $23.6 billion.

Average interest-bearing liabilities were relatively flat compared to the previous quarter, as an increase in average interest-bearing deposits was offset by a decrease in average borrowed funds. Average deposits rose $4.0 billion or 7% to $63.6 billion compared to the previous quarter while average borrowed funds declined $4.2 billion or 15% to $24.5 billion compared to the previous quarter. On a year-over-year basis, average interest-bearing liabilities rose $14.0 billion or 19% to $88.1 billion, as both average interest-bearing deposits and average borrowings increased. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $5.2 billion or 9% on a year-over-year basis, while average borrowed funds rose $8.9 billion or 57%.

For the first nine months of 2024, average loans increased modestly, rising $717 million or 1% to $81.3 billion, while average cash balances rose $7.5 billion or 67% to $18.6 billion, and average securities increased $1.9 billion or 18% to $12.2 billion.

For the first nine months of 2024, average interest-bearing liabilities increased $13.3 billion or 18% to $87.2 billion driven by growth in average deposits and average borrowings. Average interest-bearing deposits rose $5.7 billion or 10% due to our promotional deposit campaign during the current quarter and higher levels of brokered deposits, while average borrowed funds increased $7.6 billion to $26.3 billion.

In third quarter 2024, non-interest income totaled $113 million compared to $114 million in second quarter 2024 and $160 million in third quarter 2023. The linked-quarter decrease was driven by lower net gain on loan sales and securitizations and a slightly higher loss on net loan administration income, partially offset by a higher net return on mortgage servicing rights. Included in third quarter 2024 non-interest income is $23 million in fees and costs associated with the sale of the mortgage warehouse business, which closed in late July 2024. Excluding this item, non-interest income, as adjusted, was $135 million, up 18% compared to the previous quarter, but down 16% compared to the year-ago quarter.

For the first nine months of 2024, non-interest income totaled $236 million compared to $2.6 billion for the first nine months of 2023. The year-over-year decline was driven by a decrease in net loan administration income and lower net gain on loan sales and securitizations. This was partially offset by an increase in the net return on mortgage servicing rights and higher other income. Net loan administration income totaled $3 million for the first nine months of 2024, compared to $65 million for the first nine months of 2023. The decline was largely due to a decline in subservicing income related to the Signature transaction. Net gain on loan sales and securitizations was $43 million compared to $73 million for the first nine months of 2023, down 41% due to lower transaction volumes.

For the first nine months of 2024, total non-interest expense was $2.1 billion, up $271 million or 15% compared to the first nine months of 2023. Excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses and intangible asset amortization, total operating expenses for the first nine months of 2024 were $1.9 billion, up $428 million or 29% compared to $1.5 billion for the first nine months of 2023. The increase was largely due to higher FDIC insurance expense, higher general and administrative expense due to higher professional fees, and higher compensation and benefits expense and occupancy expense, mostly due to the Signature transaction.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This earnings release and the associated conference call may include forward‐looking statements by the Company and our authorized officers pertaining to such matters as our goals, beliefs, intentions, and expectations regarding (a) revenues, earnings, loan production, asset quality, liquidity position, capital levels, risk analysis, divestitures, acquisitions, and other material transactions, among other matters; (b) the future costs and benefits of the actions we may take; (c) our assessments of credit risk and probable losses on loans and associated allowances and reserves; (d) our assessments of interest rate and other market risks; (e) our ability to execute on our strategic plan, including the sufficiency of our internal resources, procedures and systems; (f) our ability to attract, incentivize, and retain key personnel and the roles of key personnel; (g) our ability to achieve our financial and other strategic goals, including those related to our merger with Flagstar Bancorp, Inc., which was completed on December 1, 2022, our acquisition of substantial portions of the former Signature Bank through an FDIC-assisted transaction, and our ability to fully and timely implement the risk management programs institutions greater than $100 billion in assets must maintain; (h) the effect on our capital ratios of the approval of certain proposals approved by our shareholders during our 2024 annual meeting of shareholders; (i) the conversion or exchange of shares of the Company’s preferred stock; (j) the payment of dividends on shares of the Company’s capital stock, including adjustments to the amount of dividends payable on shares of the Company’s preferred stock; (k) the availability of equity and dilution of existing equity holders associated with amendments to the 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan; (l) the effects of the reverse stock split; and (m) transactions relating to the sale of our mortgage business and mortgage warehouse business.

Forward‐looking statements are typically identified by such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should,” "confident," and other similar words and expressions, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. Additionally, forward‐looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; the Company does not assume any duty, and does not undertake, to update our forward‐looking statements. Furthermore, because forward‐looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in our statements, and our future performance could differ materially from our historical results.

Our forward‐looking statements are subject to, among others, the following principal risks and uncertainties: general economic conditions and trends, either nationally or locally; conditions in the securities, credit and financial markets; changes in interest rates; changes in deposit flows, and in the demand for deposit, loan, and investment products and other financial services; changes in real estate values; changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios, including associated allowances and reserves; changes in future allowance for credit losses, including changes required under relevant accounting and regulatory requirements; the ability to pay future dividends; changes in our capital management and balance sheet strategies and our ability to successfully implement such strategies; recent turnover in our Board of Directors and our executive management team; changes in our strategic plan, including changes in our internal resources, procedures and systems, and our ability to successfully implement such plan; changes in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non‐financial institutions; changes in legislation, regulations, and policies; the imposition of restrictions on our operations by bank regulators; the outcome of pending or threatened litigation, or of investigations or any other matters before regulatory agencies, whether currently existing or commencing in the future; the success of our blockchain and fintech activities, investments and strategic partnerships; the restructuring of our mortgage business; our ability to recognize anticipated expense reductions and enhanced efficiencies with respect to our recently announced strategic workforce reduction; the impact of failures or disruptions in or breaches of the Company’s operational or security systems, data or infrastructure, or those of third parties, including as a result of cyberattacks or campaigns; the impact of natural disasters, extreme weather events, military conflict (including the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas, the possible expansion of such conflicts and potential geopolitical consequences), terrorism or other geopolitical events; and a variety of other matters which, by their nature, are subject to significant uncertainties and/or are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties with respect to our merger with Flagstar Bancorp, which was completed on December 1, 2022, and our acquisition of substantial portions of the former Signature Bank through an FDIC-assisted transaction: the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transactions will not be realized when expected or at all; the possibility of increased legal and compliance costs, including with respect to any litigation or regulatory actions related to the business practices of acquired companies or the combined business; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; the possibility that the Company may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in or as a result of the transactions within the expected timeframes or at all; and revenues following the transactions may be lower than expected. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Community Benefits Agreement entered into with NCRC, which was contingent upon the closing of the Company’s merger with Flagstar Bancorp, Inc., will achieve the results or outcome originally expected or anticipated by us as a result of changes to our business strategy, performance of the U.S. economy, or changes to the laws and regulations affecting us, our customers, communities we serve, and the U.S. economy (including, but not limited to, tax laws and regulations).

More information regarding some of these factors is provided in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10‐K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023, Quarterly Report on Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 and in other SEC reports we file. Our forward‐looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those we may discuss in this news release, on our conference call, during investor presentations, or in our SEC filings, which are accessible on our website and at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.

RECONCILIATIONS OF CERTAIN GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(dollars in millions)

While stockholders’ equity, total assets, and book value per share are financial measures that are recorded in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are not. Nevertheless, it is management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in our earnings releases and other investor communications for the following reasons:

1.Tangible common stockholders’ equity is an important indication of the Company’s ability to grow organically and through business combinations, as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies.

2.Returns on average tangible assets and average tangible common stockholders’ equity are among the profitability measures considered by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, the Company’s peers.

3.Tangible book value per share and the ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are among the capital measures considered by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, its peers. 

Tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, and the related non-GAAP profitability and capital measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders’ equity, total assets, or any other profitability or capital measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these non-GAAP measures may differ from that of other companies reporting non-GAAP measures with similar names.

To calculate return on average tangible assets for a period, we divide net income by average tangible assets recorded during that period.

(2)To calculate return on average common stockholders’ equity for a period, we divide net income attributable to common stockholders, or non-GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders, generated during that period by average common stockholders’ equity recorded during that period. To calculate return on average tangible common stockholders’ equity for a period, we divide net income attributable to common stockholders generated during that period by average tangible common stockholders’ equity recorded during that period.

While diluted earnings per common share, net income, net income attributable to common stockholders, and total non-interest income are financial measures that are recorded in accordance with GAAP, financial measures that adjust these GAAP measures to exclude merger and restructuring expenses, the bargain purchase gains related to our merger with Flagstar and the Signature transaction, and certain items related to the sale of the mortgage warehouse business are not. Nevertheless, it is management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in our earnings release and other investor communications because they are not considered part of recurring operations and are included because the Company believes they may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the underlying performance trends of the Company.

(1)Certain merger-related items are not taxable or deductible.

While net income is a financial measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, PPNR and PPNR excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, bargain purchase gain and certain items related to the sale of the mortgage warehouse business are non-GAAP financial measures. Nevertheless, it is management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in our earnings releases and other investor communications because management believes these measures are relevant to understanding the performance of the Company attributable to elements other than the provision for credit losses and the ability of the Company to generate earnings sufficient to cover estimated credit losses. These measures also provide a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions since it is commonly employed and is a measure frequently cited by investors and analysts. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of PPNR and PPNR, excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, bargain purchase gain and certain items related to the sale of the mortgage warehouse business, to the comparable GAAP financial measures of net income for the stated periods:
