CEO COMMENTARY

Commenting on the Company's operating results and performance, President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas R. Cangemi said: "I am very pleased by our strong operating performance during the second quarter.  This was the first full quarter with all three legacy banks combined under one umbrella.  We believe that our results are only beginning to show the true underlying core earnings power of the combined organization. 

"For the second quarter of the year, we reported diluted earnings per share of $0.55.  As adjusted for merger-related items, diluted earnings per share were 0.47, up 34% on a year-over-year basis and more than double what we reported in the first quarter of the year.  Moreover, our net income available to common stockholders, as adjusted was a record $345 million.  On the net interest margin front, the NIM came in at 3.21%, up 61 basis points compared to the first quarter of the year, as we benefited from both higher yields on our assets and an increase in the level of non-interest-bearing deposits.

"We also reported very positive balance sheet trends.  Our funding composition continues to improve as core deposits have increased over the past quarter, while our reliance on wholesale borrowings has declined.  Total deposits increased $3.7 billion or 17% annualized on a linked-quarter basis to $88.5 billion, as the increase in non-interest-bearing deposits more than offset the decline in other categories including CDs and deposits related to loan portfolios we did not acquire from Signature.  Non-interest-bearing deposits now represent 29% of total deposits. 

"At the same time, wholesale borrowings declined 24% or $4.9 billion during the current quarter, as we used some of the cash from the Signature transaction to reduce the level of FHLB-NY borrowings.  On the lending front, total loans were up modestly despite the higher interest rate environment and is reflective of our diversification efforts, as growth in the commercial portfolio offset declines in other lending verticals.  Commercial loans represented 44% of total loans at quarter end.

"Our asset quality remains strong.  Our overall metrics are still among the best in the industry, with NPAs at a mere 21 basis points of total assets, even though we had an uptick in non-performing loans.  Additionally, we had a net recovery of $1 million during the quarter.

"Last week we shared some exciting news.  The Company expanded its private banking business, which was added as part of the Signature transaction, by hiring six teams formerly with First Republic Bank.  These teams are highly-regarded and considered among the best in the industry - they are part of our strategy to create a premier private banking division, dedicated to delivering best-in-class service to high-net worth individuals and their businesses.  These teams blend well with our existing teams, with each having a shared culture of providing a personalized customer experience through a single-point-of-contact model.  We welcome them to the new Flagstar and look forward to achieving great things together.

"Finally, our results would never be possible without the contribution and dedication of all of our teammates, which now number almost 10,000 strong.  I would personally like to thank them for their commitment to our customers and Company."

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

On July 25, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share on the Company's common stock.  Based on last night's closing price of $12.38, this represents an annualized dividend yield of 5.5%.  The dividend is payable on August 17, 2023 to common stockholders of record as of August 7, 2023.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

At June 30, 2023 total assets were $118.8 billion compared to $123.7 billion at March 31, 2023 and $90.1 billion at December 31, 2022.  The linked-quarter decrease was driven by lower balances of cash and cash equivalents, which was used to pay down wholesale borrowings.

Total loans and leases held for investment were $83.3 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to $82.5 billion at March 31, 2023 and $69.0 billion at December 31, 2022.  The linked-quarter growth was driven by growth in the commercial real estate ("CRE") and the C&I portfolios, while other categories were either flat or declined modestly.

The securities portfolio totaled $7.8 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $7.6 billion at March 31, 2023 and $9.1 billion at December 31, 2022.  As of June 30, 2023, all of the Company's securities were designated as "Available-for-Sale", unchanged from March 31, 2023.

Total deposits at June 30, 2023 were $88.5 billion compared to $84.8 billion at March 31, 2023 and $58.7 billion at December 31, 2022.  The linked-quarter increase was due to a 29% increase in non-interest-bearing accounts, primarily due to an increase in custodial deposits related to the Signature transaction, partially offset by a decrease in other higher cost deposit categories.

Wholesale borrowings at June 30, 2023 totaled $15.4 billion, down $5.0 billion or 24% on both a linked-quarter and year-to-date basis.  The Company has approximately $4.9 billion of wholesale borrowings at a weighted average rate of 2.41% that are either maturing or can be called during the second half of 2023.

Loans

At June 30, 2023, total C&I loans were $23.9 billion compared to $23.4 billion at March 31, 2023.  The linked-quarter increase was driven by continued growth in the mortgage warehouse business.  Mortgage warehouse loans rose $638 million or 12% on a linked-quarter basis, due to several competitors exiting the market and Flagstar's market-leading position in this vertical.

The multi-family loan portfolio was $37.8 billion at June 30, 2023, down slightly compared to $38.0 billion at March 31, 2023.  The slight decline during the current second quarter was due to a combination of higher interest rates and lower transaction volumes.

CRE loans increased $427 million at June 30, 2023 to $13.1 billion compared to $12.7 billion at March 31, 2023.

One-to-four family residential loans totaled $5.9 billion at June 30, 2023 unchanged compared to the prior quarter.  Other loans totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2023 also unchanged compared to the prior quarter.  This portfolio is mostly consumer loans.

Loans held-for-sale at June 30, 2023 totaled $2.2 billion, up from $1.3 billion at March 31, 2023. 

Total commercial loans represent 44% of total loans held for investment, and multi-family loans represent 45% of total loans held for investment, which continues to represent significant diversification as compared to our loan portfolio a year ago.  Residential loans and other loans stood at 7% and 3%, respectively, of total loans held for investment.

Asset Quality

Non-Performing Assets

Total NPLs rose $72 million or 45% to $233 million at June 30, 2023 compared to March 31, 2023.  Repossessed assets of $13 million were unchanged compared to the prior quarter. Total NPAs rose 41% to $246 million at June 30, 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2023. 

Our asset quality trends remain among the best in the industry, despite the slightly higher NPLs.  At June 30, 2023, NPAs to total assets equaled 21 basis points compared to 14 basis points at March 31, 2023, while NPLs to total loans equaled 28 basis points compared to 20 basis points at March 31, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses

At June 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was $594 million compared to $550 million at March 31, 2023, up $44 million.  The allowance for credit losses to total loans held for investment increased to 71 basis points at June 30, 2023 compared to 67 basis points at March 31, 2023.

Deposits

Deposits at June 30, 2023 totaled $88.5 billion up $3.7 billion compared to $84.8 billion at March 31, 2023.  This growth was fueled in large part by a $6.8 billion or 29% linked-quarter increase in non-interest-bearing deposits to $29.8 billion, driven primarily by an increase to $5.9 billion of custodial deposits related to the Signature transaction.  Legacy Signature added $285 million of private banking-related non-interest-bearing deposits.  At June 30, 2023, non-interest-bearing deposits represented 29% of total deposits, up from 27% last quarter.

The growth in non-interest-bearing deposits was offset by declines in other categories, including a $1.2 billion or 6% drop in CDs.  Almost all of this decrease was attributable to brokered CDs at legacy Signature, which accounted for $1.1 billion of the drop.

CAPITAL POSITION

The Company's regulatory capital ratios improved during the second quarter and continue to exceed regulatory minimums to be classified as "Well Capitalized," the highest regulatory classification. The table below depicts the Company's and the Bank's regulatory capital ratios at those respective periods.

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income totaled $900 million, up $345 million or 62% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.  Second-quarter 2023 results include a full-quarter's contribution from both the Flagstar acquisition and the Signature transaction.  Compared to the first quarter of 2023, the increase in net interest income was driven by higher average earnings assets and interest-bearing liabilities, due to a full-quarter's contribution from Signature versus only 12 days last quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income increased $764 million or 111% to $1.5 billion.  The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of the Flagstar Bank acquisition, which closed late last year and the Signature transaction, which closed in late March of this year.

Net Interest Margin

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the NIM was 3.21% up 61 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.  The increase was driven by higher levels of average interest-earnings assets, specifically loans held for investment and average cash and cash equivalent balances.  Both of these items are attributable to the Signature transaction.  In addition, we continued to benefit from the higher interest rate environment, which positively impacted the yields on our assets.  Accordingly, average interest-earnings assets totaled $112.3 billion during the second quarter, up $25.6 billion or 30% compared to the first quarter, while the average yield improved 54 basis points to 5.34%.

Average loan balances increased $13 billion or 18% to $83.8 billion compared to the previous quarter, while the loan yield increased 63 basis points on a quarter-over-quarter basis to 5.55%.  Average cash balances increased to $18.3 billion during the second quarter compared to $4.3 billion during the first quarter, while the average yield rose slightly to 5.03% from 4.96%.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $7.2 billion or 10% to $77.4 billion on a quarter-over-quarter basis with the average cost increasing 33 basis points to 3.10% compared to 2.77%.  Average interest-bearing deposits rose $11.3 billion or 24% to $59.2 billion, while the average cost rose 58 basis points to 2.98%.  Average borrowed funds declined $4.1 billion or 18% to $18.2 billion, while the average cost of borrowed funds declined nine basis points to 3.47%.  Average non-interest-bearing deposit balances rose $11.4 billion or 87% to $24.6 billion compared to the previous quarter.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the NIM was 2.94%, up 46 basis points compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.  The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of a larger balance sheet owing to both the Flagstar Bank acquisition and the Signature transaction, and to organic loan growth, along with the impact of higher interest rates on our now asset sensitive balance sheet.  Average interest-earning assets increased $43.9 billion on a year-over-year basis, up 79% to $99.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023, while the average yield rose 186 basis points to 5.10%.

Average loan balances rose $31 billion or 67% to $77.5 billion while the average loan yield rose 173 basis points to 5.25% on a year-over-year basis.  Average cash balances more than tripled to $11.3 billion, while the average yield rose to 5.02% from 0.64%.  Average securities increased $3.7 billion or 56% to $10.3 billion, while the average yield improved to 4.01% from 2.26%.

Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $25.1 billion or 52% to $73.9 billion while the average cost increased to 2.94% from 0.87%.  Average interest-bearing deposits rose $20.7 billion or 63% while the average cost of deposits increased to 2.72% compared to 0.45%.  Average borrowed funds increased $4.5 billion to $20.3 billion while the average cost rose to 3.52% from 1.76%.  Average non-interest-bearing deposits rose $14.5 billion to $18.9 billion.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the provision for credit losses totaled $219 million compared to $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.  The year-to-date amount includes the above mentioned $132 million initial provision for credit losses for the acquired portion of the Signature loan portfolio.

NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC.
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 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 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 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 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 diluted earnings per common share, net income, net income available 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 expenses and the bargain purchase gains related to our merger with Flagstar and the Signature transaction, and initial provision for credit losses 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.

While net income is a financial measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, PPNR and PPNR excluding bargain purchase gains and merger-related and restructuring expenses 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 bargain purchase gains and merger-related and restructuring expenses to the comparable GAAP financial measures of net income for the stated periods:
