Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: FBC), the holding company for Flagstar Bank, today reported first quarter 2021 net income of $149 million, or $2.80 per diluted share, compared to fourth quarter 2020 net income of $154 million, or $2.83 per diluted share and first quarter 2020 net income of $46 million, or $0.80 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis, Flagstar reported net income of $176 million, or $3.31 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2021.

"Today, I am pleased to announce that we have entered into an agreement for a strategic partnership with New York Community Bank," said Alessandro DiNello, president and chief executive officer of Flagstar Bancorp. "This is a unique opportunity, and the partnership positions us well for continued expansion and accelerated growth as we leverage complementary business models to achieve the scale necessary to aggressively invest in our key businesses. The combination allows us to build from a safe and profitable base, by tapping into the deep industry knowledge and diverse skillsets of each organization to deliver even stronger financial results and drive increased long-term shareholder value."

"As for our financial performance for the quarter, we posted impressive results, continuing our string of strong quarterly performances from last year. All our business segments combined to produce robust growth in tangible book value, resulting in a bank that is stronger and well positioned to continue generating shareholder value."

"Banking delivered solid numbers for the quarter as net interest margin improved 4 basis points to 2.82 percent, with net interest income totaling $189 million and adjusted net interest margin at 3.02 percent, up slightly from the prior quarter. We continue to focus on lending into lower-risk asset classes while maintaining balance sheet flexibility. This strategy has produced consistent results from our banking business while protecting our exposure to credit risk."

"Credit remained strong with low levels of nonperforming loans and net charge-offs, even after excluding the large recovery. Given our strong asset quality and an improved forecast for our macroeconomic environment, we were able to release $15 million of our allowance for credit losses while maintaining a strong coverage ratio of 3.1 percent, similar to the fourth quarter 2020."

"We closed the quarter servicing and subservicing over 1.1 million loans, up 6 percent from the prior quarter as we boarded over 100,000 non-Flagstar originated loans to the portfolio in the quarter. This is a testament to our business model, the quality of the service delivered, and the strength of the relationships we have developed with our subservicing partners."

"Our mortgage team delivered another strong quarter, posting mortgage revenues of $227 million. The team leveraged our multi-channel mortgage platform to grow fallout adjusted locks by 3 percent. We were pleased with how well our margins held up, averaging 1.84 percent for the quarter. Our results demonstrate the team's ability to remain opportunistic and execute skillfully in an operating environment that is ever changing."

"It was a strong start to the year as we continued to generate value for our shareholders, despite the uncertainties we face in everything from regulation to the interest rate environment. With our ability to originate mortgages in multiple channels, our asset-sensitive balance sheet, our strong ACL coverage, and our demonstrated power to generate capital, we are well positioned to flex our business to take advantage of whatever may come our way… and to find success whatever the environment may be."

Net Interest Income

Net interest income in the first quarter was $189 million, flat as compared to the fourth quarter 2020. The results primarily reflect higher loans held-for-sale average balances, full quarter of impact from extinguishment of senior notes and the impact of lower rates on deposits, offsetting the impact of lower average balances and yields on loans-held-for-investment.

The net interest margin in the first quarter was 2.82 percent, a 4 basis point increase from the prior quarter. Excluding the impact from the loans with government guarantees that have not been repurchased and do not accrue interest, adjusted net interest margin expanded 4 basis points to 3.02 percent in the first quarter, compared to adjusted net interest margin of 2.98 percent in the prior quarter. The increase in the net interest margin was primarily driven by lower rates on deposits and impact from the early redemption of the senior notes due July 15, 2021. Retail banking deposit rates decreased 5 basis points driven by the expiration of promotional rates on some of our savings deposits and the maturity of higher cost time deposits.

Loans held-for-investment averaged $14.9 billion for the first quarter, decreasing $0.8 billion (5 percent) from the prior quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by $0.6 billion (8 percent) lower average warehouse loan balances consistent with the volume decrease in the overall mortgage market and $0.3 billion (6 percent) lower average consumer loans, primarily attributable to a decrease in our residential first mortgage portfolio as loans pay off.

Average total deposits were $20.0 billion in the first quarter, decreasing $1.0 billion (5 percent) from the fourth quarter 2020. Average custodial deposits decreased $1.3 billion (16 percent) primarily driven by a decrease in refinance activity, more than offsetting $0.3 billion higher average retail banking and government deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses

The benefit for credit losses was $28 million for the first quarter, as compared to a $2 million provision for the fourth quarter 2020, reflecting the impact from improved economic forecasts and $13 million of net recoveries during the quarter. The net recoveries for the quarter were driven by a $16 million recovery on a previously charged-off commercial loan. Excluding the $16 million recovery, the net charge-off ratio remained low for the quarter at only 8 basis points of LHFI. Despite the reserve release, our coverage ratio remained relatively flat as compared to the prior quarter. Although our economic forecasts are improved, we continue to believe that uncertainty persists regarding the economic recovery, especially as it affects consumer loan forbearance and the commercial real estate sector.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $8 million to $324 million in the first quarter, as compared to $332 million for the fourth quarter 2020, primarily due to lower mortgage revenues and loan fees and charges.

First quarter net gain on loan sales decreased $5 million, to $227 million, as compared to $232 million in the fourth quarter 2020. Fallout-adjusted locks increased $0.3 billion, or 3 percent, to $12.3 billion and we maintained strong gain on sale margins that decreased only 9 basis points, to 1.84 percent for the first quarter 2021, as compared to 1.93 percent for the fourth quarter 2020.

Net return on mortgage servicing rights was $0.4 million in the first quarter 2021, consistent with the net return for the fourth quarter 2020. Refinance activity remained elevated compared to historical norms as favorable mortgage rates persisted during the quarter impacting prepayment speeds and overall net return on mortgage servicing rights.

Loan fees and charges decreased $6 million, to $42 million for the first quarter, compared to $48 million for the fourth quarter 2020, primarily due to a decrease in the number of loans being boarded in the first quarter and lower revenue associated with loans in forbearance.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased to $347 million for the first quarter, compared to $314 million for the fourth quarter 2020.

Excluding the $35 million expense related to the DOJ settlement liability, noninterest expenses were $312 million for the first quarter, or a $2 million decrease compared to the fourth quarter 2020. The decrease in noninterest expense primarily reflects lower commissions, primarily in the third party originations (TPO) channel, and expenses in the prior quarter associated with the early redemption of the senior notes and a secondary offering which did not reoccur in the first quarter. This more than offset the impact from an increase in performance driven incentives.

Mortgage expenses were $148 million for the first quarter, a decrease of $1 million compared to the prior quarter. The ratio of mortgage noninterest expense to closings – our mortgage expense ratio – was 1.07 percent, a decrease of 7 basis points quarter over quarter, primarily driven by lower revenue-based TPO-related commissions that were impacted by a decrease in TPO channel revenue and the fact that the prior quarter included higher annual payout factor which did not reoccur.

The efficiency ratio was 68 percent for the first quarter, as compared to 60 percent for the fourth quarter 2020. Excluding the $35 million expense related to the DOJ settlement liability, the adjusted efficiency ratio was 61 percent for the first quarter.

Income Taxes

The first quarter provision for income taxes totaled $45 million, with an effective tax rate of 23.0 percent, compared to $51 million and an effective tax rate of 24.8 percent for the fourth quarter 2020. Our effective tax rate decreased slightly primarily due to the prior quarter including a non-recurring tax impact of $2 million from the sale of stock by a shareholder that formerly held more than 50 percent of our outstanding shares.

The allowance for credit losses was $265 million and covered 1.78 percent of loans held-for-investment at March 31, 2021, a 5 basis point increase from December 31, 2020. Excluding warehouse loans, the allowance coverage ratio was 3.11 percent, a 9 basis point decrease from December 31, 2020.

Net recoveries in the first quarter 2021 were $13 million, compared to $2 million of net charge-offs in the prior quarter. Excluding the $16 million commercial loan recovery, net charge-offs for the first quarter were a nominal 8 basis points of LHFI, compared to 4 basis points in the prior quarter.

Nonperforming loans and troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) were $60 million and our ratio of nonperforming loans and TDRs to loans held-for-investment was 40 basis points at March 31, 2021, a 6 basis point increase compared to December 31, 2020 with 3 basis points of that increase due to a $1.3 billion decrease in LHFI balances. At March 31, 2021, early stage loan delinquencies totaled $15 million, or 10 basis points, of total loans, compared to $36 million, or 22 basis points, at December 31, 2020.

The Company maintained a solid capital position with regulatory ratios above current regulatory quantitative guidelines for "well capitalized" institutions. The capital ratios are impacted by a 100 percent risk-weighting of the warehouse loan portfolio – the largest component of the Company's held-for-investment portfolio.  Adjusting the risk-weighting of warehouse loans to 50 percent, because of the historically low level of losses from this loan portfolio and the fact that the portfolio is fully collateralized with assets that would receive a 50 percent risk weighting, the Company would have had a Tier 1 common equity ratio of 11.89 percent and a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.20 percent at March 31, 2021.

Importantly, tangible book value per share grew to $41.77, up $2.97, or 8 percent from last quarter.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation (Unaudited)

In addition to analyzing the Company's results on a reported basis, management reviews the Company's results and the results on an adjusted basis. The non-GAAP measures presented in the tables below reflect the adjustments of the reported U.S.GAAP results for significant items that management does not believe are reflective of the Company's current and ongoing operations. The DOJ benefit and loans with government guarantees that have not been repurchased and don't accrue interest are not reflective of our ongoing operations and, therefore, have been excluded from our U.S. GAAP results. The Company believes that tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to assets ratio, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average tangible common equity, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted HFI loan-to-deposit ratio, adjusted noninterest expense, adjusted income before income taxes, adjusted provision for income taxes, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted net interest margin and adjusted efficiency ratio provide a meaningful representation of its operating performance on an ongoing basis.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.
