New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: NYCB) (the "Company") today reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of $97.2 million, relatively unchanged from the $97.6 million reported for the three months ended March 31, 2019. On a year-to-date basis, net income was $194.8 million, down 9% compared to the first six months of 2018.

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2019 was $89.0 million, or $0.19 per common share, compared to $89.4 million, also $0.19 per common share for the first quarter of 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net income available to common shareholders totaled $178.4 million, or $0.38 per common share, compared to $197.5 million or $0.40 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Commenting on the Company's second quarter 2019 performance, President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph R. Ficalora stated: "We are very pleased with the Company's performance this quarter, which was highlighted by strong loan and deposit growth, continued lower operating expenses, and a relatively stable net interest margin. We believe that we are currently well-positioned for a lower interest rate environment, given our liability sensitive balance sheet and for the changed landscape in the New York City rent-regulated real estate market, given our underwriting standards, our experience and longevity in the market."

"New York Community will continue to support our borrowers in the multi-family space. We have always been a conservative lender and this conservatism has always served us well over the past 50 years in which we have been actively involved in this type of lending. Moreover, we have always been a main beneficiary of dislocation in this market, be it credit-driven or event-driven. As other players exit the market, we will take advantage of the dislocation and seek opportunities to grow our portfolio at wider spreads."

"Our overall loan portfolio grew 4% on an annualized basis, compared to the level at December 31, 2018. This was driven by our multi-family portfolio, which increased 4% and our commercial and industrial portfolio, which increased 33%, driven by our specialty finance business."

"Growth was funded by deposits, which continued to grow, increasing $1.6 billion year-to-date, or 10% annualized. We will be proactive in managing our deposit costs lower, once the Federal Reserve pivots to an easing environment."

"Our net interest margin was down three basis points this quarter to 2.00%. Excluding prepayments, which increased on a linked-quarter basis, the margin was 1.89%, down six basis points. However, we believe that our net interest margin will benefit from a lower short-term interest rate environment going forward."

"Operating expenses also improved during the quarter. At $123.1 million, our operating expenses represent a run-rate of less than $500 million and our efficiency ratio was 48.20%."

"On the asset quality side, our metrics continue to be very strong and remain among the best in the industry."

DIVIDEND DECLARATION AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Reflecting our earnings outlook, asset quality metrics, and strong capital position, the Board of Directors yesterday declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share on the Company's common stock. Based on a closing price of $11.20 as of July 30, 2019, this represents an annualized dividend yield of 6.1%. The dividend is payable on August 26, 2019 to common shareholders of record as of August 12, 2019.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company did not repurchase any common shares under its previously announced share repurchase program. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company repurchased 7.1 million shares at an average price of $9.47. In total, the Company has repurchased 23.9 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $9.54, or $227.9 million under the current $300 million share repurchase authorization.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY
Total assets as of June 30, 2019 were $52.8 billion, an increase of $876.9 million, or 3% annualized, compared to our total assets at December 31, 2018. The year-to-date increase was driven by continued growth in our loan portfolio, with both the multi-family and commercial and industrial ("C&I") segments increasing, and to a lesser degree, growth in the securities portfolio. As was the case last quarter, this quarter's growth was funded via continued strong growth in our deposits, while the level of borrowed funds declined.

Total loans held for investment increased $710.8 million, or 4% on an annualized basis, compared to the balance at December 31, 2018. Second quarter loan growth occurred in two categories: our core multi-family portfolio and our specialty finance portfolio, which is classified as C&I.

While it has been one of our strategies to redeploy a portion of our cash position into securities, given the extraordinarily low interest rate environment in place during much of the second quarter, we did not reinvest in securities as much as in the past. As a result, our overall cash position increased $238.3 million, or 24% to $1.2 billion, compared to the previous quarter, while the securities portfolio remained relatively unchanged compared to the previous quarter.

Year-to-date, total deposits increased $1.6 billion, or 10% annualized, while total borrowed funds declined $1.1 billion, or 16% annualized, to $13.1 billion, compared to $14.2 billion at December 31, 2018.

Loans
Total loans, net were $40.7 billion at June 30, 2019, up $719.5 million, or 4% annualized, compared to the balance at December 31, 2018. On a year-to-date basis, this quarter's loan growth was driven by our multi-family portfolio and our C&I loan portfolio, consisting largely of specialty finance loans, offset by a modest decline in the commercial real estate ("CRE") portfolio.

Total multi-family loans rose $582.2 million in the first six months of 2019, or 4% annualized, while total C&I loans increased $398.7 million, or 33% annualized, over the same time period. The growth in the C&I portfolio was largely driven by our specialty finance business. Specialty finance loans grew $413.1 million, or 42% annualized, to $2.4 billion compared to December 31, 2018.

On a linked-quarter, multi-family loans increased $533.5 million, or 7% annualized, and C&I loans rose $75.5 million, or 11% annualized.

Originations
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, total loans originated for investment increased 47% to $3.0 billion, compared to $2.0 billion in the prior quarter. Sequentially, multi-family originations jumped 78% to $1.8 billion, CRE originations increased 85% to $382.9 million, and specialty finance originations declined a modest 1% to $677.3 million.

Pipeline
The current pipeline stands at $2.0 billion. This includes $1.4 billion in multi-family loans, $302 million in CRE loans, and $277 million in specialty finance loans.

Funding
Deposits
The Company continues to execute on its strategy to organically grow our deposit base. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, total deposits increased $1.6 billion, or 10% annualized. Similar to prior quarters, our deposit growth this quarter was largely focused in certificates of deposit ("CDs"). CDs increased $2.1 billion, or 34% annualized for the first six months of the year, along with modest growth in savings accounts and non-interest bearing accounts.

During the current second quarter, total deposits grew $731.4 million, or 9% annualized, compared to the prior quarter. Again, this was led by double digit growth in CDs, which increased $1.5 billion, or 48% annualized. On a linked-quarter basis, interest bearing checking and money market accounts, as well as non-interest bearing accounts both declined, while savings accounts rose modestly.

While our deposit growth has been strong over the past year and a half, as the Federal Reserve potentially pivots to a more accommodative stance on short-term interest rates, we will proactively manage our deposit costs lower.

Borrowed Funds
At June 30, 2019, total borrowed funds were $13.1 billion, down $1.1 billion, or 16% annualized, compared to $14.2 billion at December 31, 2018 and down $175.8 million, or 5% annualized, on a linked-quarter basis. The entire decline was attributable to a decline in wholesale borrowings, specifically Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances.

Asset Quality
The Company's asset quality metrics improved during the current second quarter and overall remain strong. Total non-performing assets ("NPAs") declined 12% compared to the first quarter of this year, to $63.1 million, as the level of both non-accrual loans and repossessed assets declined. Total non-performing loans also declined 12% to $51.4 million, or 0.13% of total loans. Included in this amount is $32.9 million of non-accrual taxi medallion-related loans. Total repossessed assets declined 8% to $11.7 million. Included in this amount is $9.7 million of repossessed taxi medallions. As of June 30, 2019, our remaining taxi medallion-related loans totaled $65.3 million, compared to $69.6 million at March 31, 2019.

Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $7.4 million or 0.02% of average loans, up $5.4 million compared to $2.0 million or 0.00% of average loans for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The linked-quarter increase was due to the partial charge-off of a C&I loan related to one borrower which became non-accrual last quarter. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $9.3 million or 0.02% of average loans, down $2.4 million or 20% compared to $11.7 million or 0.03% of average loans for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In addition to the one C&I-related charge-off, the first six months of 2019 included $4.0 million of taxi medallion-related charge-offs compared to $7.4 million for the first six months of 2018.

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2019

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $237.7 million, down 2% compared to the $241.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and down 10% compared to the $264.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Total interest income for the current second quarter rose 2% on a linked-quarter basis, and 9% on a year-over-year basis, but this growth was offset by 5% linked-quarter and 41% year-over-year growth in total interest expense.

The higher interest income compared to both the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter was primarily due to growth in average loan balances along with higher yields on those loans. The higher interest expense over the same time periods is the result of significant growth in CD balances concurrent with higher rates paid on those balances, due to multiple increases in short-term interest rates by the Federal Reserve over the past year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, net interest income totaled $479.0 million, down $55.2 million, or 10%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Total interest income for the first half of 2019 rose $78.3 million or 10% versus the first half of 2018, while interest expense increased $133.5 million or 46% over the same time period.

Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin ("NIM") for the second quarter of 2019 was 2.00%, down three basis points compared to the first quarter 2019 NIM. The modest decrease was driven by higher funding costs and was offset somewhat by higher yields on our loan portfolio. Prepayment income for the second quarter was $12.6 million, up 32% from the $9.6 million recorded in the first quarter of 2019, contributing 11 basis points to this quarter's NIM, up three basis points from the previous quarter. Excluding the impact from prepayment income, our second quarter NIM would have been 1.89%, on a non-GAAP basis, down six basis points compared to the previous quarter.

Additionally, both the GAAP and non-GAAP NIM were negatively impacted by two other factors during the current second quarter. First, the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York reduced its dividend paid to member banks, and second, given the low interest rate environment during much of the quarter, we did not reinvest our cash into investment securities, resulting in excess liquidity during the second quarter. Collectively, these two items negatively impacted the NIM by three basis points.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the NIM was 2.02%, down 35 basis points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was the result of higher funding costs due to the cumulative impact of multiple short-term interest rate increases during this time frame, offset partially by higher yields on our interest-earning assets. Prepayment income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $22.2 million, down 29% from the six months ended June 30, 2018. Prepayment income contributed 10 and 13 basis points, respectively to the NIM. Excluding the impact from prepayment income, the NIM on a non-GAAP basis would have been 1.92%, compared to 2.24%.

Provision for (Recovery of) Loan Losses
For the second quarter of 2019, the Company reported a provision for loan losses of $1.8 million compared to a recovery of loan losses of $1.2 million in the previous quarter. On a year-to-date basis, the Company reported a provision for loan losses of $622,000 compared to a provision for loan losses of $14.3 million in the first half of 2018.

Non-Interest Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2019, non-interest income declined 29% on a linked-quarter basis to $17.6 million. Included in the first quarter 2019 was $7.0 million of net gains on the sale of securities compared to only $493,000 in the current second quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, non-interest income declined $3.2 million, or 7% to $42.4 million, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Included in the six month period for last year was approximately $10.4 million related to our wealth management business, Peter B. Cannell & Co., which was sold in the first quarter of this year. Included in the six month period for this year, was $7.5 million of net gains on the sale of securities compared to a net loss of $769,000 for the first six months of last year.

Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $123.1 million, down $15.7 million, or 11% on a linked-quarter basis. Our operating expenses during the first quarter of 2019 included certain items related to severance costs and branch rationalization, which totaled $9.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, total non-interest expenses declined $15.4 million, or 6%, to $261.8 million. The efficiency ratio for the current second quarter was 48.20% compared to 52.15% in the first quarter of the year.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $33.1 million, compared to $31.0 million in the prior quarter. The effective tax rate was 25.42% during the current second quarter, compared to 24.10% in the first quarter of 2019.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, income tax expense totaled $64.1 million, compared to $74.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This decline was mainly due to lower pre-tax income in the 2019 six-month period compared to the 2018 six-month period. The effective tax rate was 24.77% for the current six months, compared to 25.80% for the year-ago six months.

RECONCILIATIONS OF CERTAIN GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)

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 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:

Tangible 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.
Returns on average tangible assets and average tangible stockholders' equity are among the profitability measures considered by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, the Company's peers.
Tangible book value per share and the ratio of tangible 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 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.

The following table presents reconciliations of our common stockholders' equity and tangible common stockholders' equity, our total assets and tangible assets, and the related GAAP and non-GAAP profitability and capital measures at or for the periods indicated:

While our net interest margin, including the contribution of prepayment income is recorded in accordance with GAAP, adjusted net interest margin, which excludes the contribution of prepayment income is not. Nevertheless, management uses this non-GAAP measure in its analysis of our performance, and believes that this non-GAAP measure should be disclosed in our earnings releases and other investor communications for the following reasons:

Adjusted net interest margin gives investors a better understanding of the effect of prepayment income and other items on our net interest margin. Prepayment income in any given period depends on the volume of loans that refinance or prepay, or securities that prepay, during that period. Such activity is largely dependent on external factors such as current market conditions, including real estate values, and the perceived or actual direction of market interest rates.
Adjusted net interest margin is among the measures considered by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, our peers.
