Insights

Financial Analyst

Flagstar shows narrowing losses and strategic progress, but still faces profitability challenges amid continued balance sheet restructuring.

Flagstar Financial's Q1 2025 results show incremental improvement in their turnaround strategy despite posting a net loss of $100 million ($0.26 per share), which improved from Q4 2024's loss of $188 million and Q1 2024's loss of $327 million. The adjusted loss was $0.23 per share when excluding one-time items.

The company's strategic initiatives are showing traction with C&I loan originations increasing over 40% quarter-over-quarter, while operating expenses declined 22% year-over-year. Management is actively reducing risk by decreasing commercial real estate exposure—multi-family loans dropped $656 million (2%) and CRE loans decreased $326 million (3%).

Credit quality showed mixed signals. Criticized loans declined 6%, but non-accrual loans increased, primarily due to one relationship. Net charge-offs improved significantly, declining 48% to $115 million. The allowance for credit losses remained stable at 1.82% of total loans.

The bank's capital position strengthened with the CET1 ratio improving to 11.9%, and liquidity remains robust at $30 billion (covering 231% of uninsured deposits). However, the shrinking balance sheet remains a challenge—total assets decreased 3% to $97.6 billion, with loans down 2% and deposits declining 3%.

Net interest margin stabilized at 1.74%, but net interest income fell 11% quarter-over-quarter and 34% year-over-year due to the smaller balance sheet. The company is redeploying some liquidity into securities, which grew 23% to $12.8 billion.

Management has outlined a clear path to profitability by Q4 2025 through continued cost reduction, strategic lending growth in C&I and private banking, and reduced wholesale funding costs. The talent acquisition of 15 commercial bankers (with plans for 80-90 more) and a new Private Bank leader signals their commitment to this strategy.

Banking Industry Specialist

Flagstar's Q1 shows strategic transformation progress with improving credit metrics and stronger capital, despite continued losses.

Flagstar Financial's Q1 results represent a critical juncture in their multi-quarter transformation strategy. The $100 million net loss ($0.26 per share) marks continued improvement from previous quarters while management executes a fundamental business model shift.

The bank's de-risking strategy is evident in the continued reduction of commercial real estate exposure, particularly in the multi-family segment. This portfolio reduction strategy, while temporarily constraining growth, strengthens the bank's risk profile. The company has prioritized relationship-focused C&I lending over transactional CRE business, with C&I originations up 42% quarter-over-quarter to $769 million.

Funding composition is improving with brokered deposits down $1.9 billion (19%), indicating less reliance on volatile wholesale funding. This transition toward more stable funding sources should benefit the bank's interest expense over time, though deposit costs remain elevated at 3.85% for interest-bearing deposits.

The stabilization of net interest margin at 1.74% (up 1bp) represents a potential inflection point after several quarters of compression. The margin improvement came from declining funding costs (down 25bp to 4.02% for interest-bearing liabilities) offsetting lower asset yields.

Credit trends show meaningful improvement with net charge-offs declining 48% to $115 million (0.68% of average loans annualized). The bank maintains substantial loss reserves with total ACL at 1.82% of loans, with higher coverage for riskier segments (office CRE at 6.88%).

The talent acquisition strategy (75 commercial bankers hired to date with 80-90 more planned) indicates the bank is positioning for growth in targeted segments while maintaining its $600 million cost savings initiative. This dual focus on strategic growth and efficiency improvements creates a credible path to management's stated goal of returning to profitability by Q4 2025.

HICKSVILLE, N.Y., April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Flagstar Financial, Inc. (NYSE: FLG) ("the Company"), today reported results for first quarter 2025. First quarter 2025 net loss was $100 million compared to a net loss of $188 million for fourth quarter 2024, and a net loss of $327 million for first quarter 2024.  The net loss attributable to common stockholders for first quarter 2025 was $108 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $196 million, or $0.47 per diluted share for fourth quarter 2024, and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $335 million, or $1.36 per diluted share for first quarter 2024.

CEO COMMENTARY 

Commenting on the Company's first quarter 2025 performance, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Joseph M. Otting stated, "I am very pleased with our solid financial results and operating performance during the quarter, as we continue to make progress on returning to profitability, executing on our strategic plan, and transforming the Company into a top-25 performing regional bank. In 2024, we successfully built capital, improved liquidity, and enhanced the credit quality of our loan portfolio. As a result, we begin the year in a strong balance sheet position with a CET1 capital ratio of around 12%, ACL reserve coverage of 1.82%, and ample liquidity of about $30 billion.

"Our 2025 focus is improving our earnings profile, executing on our C&I and Private Bank growth strategy, continuing to manage lower our commercial real estate exposure, and on credit normalization. Our first quarter operating trends reflect this focus. We reduced operating expenses and are on pace to meet our $600 million cost savings goal, reduced our credit costs as both the provision for credit losses and net charge-offs declined, our net interest margin was stable compared to the fourth quarter, we continued to reduce our multi-family and commercial real estate portfolios, and made further progress in our C&I business, adding additional talent and originating nearly $770 million in new loans, up over 40% compared to what we originated in the fourth quarter. More importantly, we grew C&I loans in our focus areas by over 4% compared to last quarter.

"During the quarter, we added 15 talented bankers in our commercial lending business bringing the total to 75 since we started expanding this business, and we plan to add another 80 to 90 bankers during the remainder of 2025. Additionally, we announced the hiring of Mark Pittsey to lead our Private Bank and Wealth Management businesses. Mark's extensive background will help drive continued growth in these two core business lines.

"On the credit quality front, criticized loans declined 6% compared to the prior quarter, and although we had a pick-up in non-accrual loans, this was largely due to one credit relationship. Our total allowance for credit losses was 1.82%, virtually unchanged from the previous quarter, while reserve coverage on multi-family loans with rent-regulated units at 50% or more of the total units was 2.82%.

"The significant strides we made in 2024 have laid the groundwork for growth and have established a path to profitability by fourth quarter 2025. While the near-term macro environment is filled with some uncertainties, I remain confident in our ability to execute on our strategic plan and to transform the Company into a high-performing, top-tier regional bank.

"Lastly, I would like to especially thank all of our teammates whose dedication and commitment to the organization and its customers has been unmatched."

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY AS OF MARCH 31, 2025

At March 31, 2025, total assets were $97.6 billion, down $2.5 billion or 3% versus December 31, 2024. The linked-quarter decline was driven by a decrease in total loans and leases held for investment ("HFI") as the Company continues to reduce its commercial real estate ("CRE") exposure, along with a decrease in cash balances.  During the first quarter 2025, we re-deployed some of our liquidity into available-for-sale ("AFS") investment securities. Accordingly, AFS investment securities rose $2.4 billion or 23% to $12.8 billion on a linked-quarter basis.

Total loans and leases held for investment at March 31, 2025 were $66.6 billion, down $1.7 billion or 2% on a linked-quarter basis. The multi-family loan portfolio declined $656 million or 2% to $33.4 billion on a linked-quarter basis while the CRE portfolio decreased $326 million or 3% on a linked-quarter basis to $11.5 billion. The linked-quarter decrease was the result of exiting non-relationship borrowers, par payoffs, and loan sales, at or close to current valuations, that were previously disclosed during the fourth quarter of 2024. The declines in both of these portfolios is a continuation of the Company's overall strategy to diversify the loan portfolio by reducing its multi-family and CRE exposure.

Total commercial and industrial ("C&I") loans declined $634 million or 4% to $14.7 billion on a linked-quarter basis. The linked-quarter decrease is due to the Company's strategy to reduce non-core loans within the specialty finance and leasing portfolios, as well as reducing exposures in the MSR lending business. 

We experienced another strong quarter of production from our new C&I lending teams. During first quarter 2025, new credit commitments totaled $1,046 million of which we funded $769 million compared to $789 million and $542 million, respectively, in fourth quarter 2024.

Total deposits at March 31, 2025 were $73.9 billion, a $2.0 billion or 3% linked-quarter decrease. The linked-quarter decline was driven by the sale of our mortgage servicing/sub-servicing and third-party origination business during the fourth quarter of 2024, which included the transfer of mortgage escrow deposits to the buyer. Non-interest-bearing deposits declined $739 million or 5% on a linked-quarter basis due to the sale of the mortgage servicing business.

Certificates of deposit ("CDs") decreased $1.4 billion or 5% to $25.9 billion on a linked-quarter basis. The linked-quarter decline was driven by a decrease in brokered CDs, reflecting our strategy to reduce higher cost funding. During the first quarter, the Company paid off approximately $1.4 billion in brokered CDs.

At March 31, 2025, wholesale borrowings totaled $13.2 billion, down $250 million or 2% on a linked-quarter basis. After rebuilding our liquidity position over the course of 2024 through deposit growth and asset sales, we paid down wholesale borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB-NY") advances, in the second half of 2024. In first quarter 2025, we paid off $250 million of FHLB-NY advances.

NET INCOME (LOSS) | NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS - AS ADJUSTED

First quarter 2025 results included two notable items. These items include $6 million in lease cost acceleration related to our previously announced branch closures and $5 million in trailing costs related to the sale of our mortgage servicing/sub-servicing and third-party origination business during the fourth quarter of last year. In addition, the Company also incurred $8 million of merger-related expenses during the quarter. As adjusted for these items, the net loss for first quarter 2025 was $86 million and the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $94 million or $0.23 per diluted share. This compares to a fourth quarter 2024 net loss, as adjusted for merger-related expenses and for certain items related to the sale of the servicing/sub-servicing and third-party origination business, severance costs, and long-term asset impairment charges related to various Company-owned or leased properties, of $158 million and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $166 million or $0.40 per diluted share. First quarter 2024, net loss and net loss attributable to common stockholders, as adjusted for merger-related and restructuring expenses and the bargain purchase gain, was $174 million and $182 million or $0.74 per diluted share, respectively.

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2025

Net Interest Income, Net Interest Margin, and Average Balance Sheet

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter 2025 totaled $410 million, down $51 million, or 11%, compared to fourth quarter 2024. The linked-quarter decline was driven by a smaller balance sheet partially offset by lower funding costs. Average loan balances decreased over the past five quarters due to several strategic actions that began during early 2024, including the sale of our mortgage warehouse business and mortgage servicing/sub-servicing and third-party origination business, a strategic reduction in the multi-family and commercial real estate portfolios from a combination of par payoffs and strategic loan sales, and lower net C&I balances as our growth was outpaced by the pay-down of certain non-core, non-strategic relationships. During first-quarter 2025, we utilized a portion of our cash position to purchase higher yielding investment securities. The decrease in average loan balances was partially offset by a lower level of average borrowed funds, as the Company paid off a substantial amount of wholesale borrowings, primarily FHLB-NY advances during 2024.  

Net Interest Income							March 31, 2025
	For the Three Months Ended						compared to (%):
(dollars in millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		March 31, 2024		December 31, 2024		March 31, 2024
Net interest income	$              410		$              461		$              624		-11 %		-34 %

Net Interest Margin

During first quarter 2025, we stabilized the net interest margin ("NIM") as compared to fourth-quarter 2024. First-quarter 2025 NIM was 1.74%, up 1 basis point compared to fourth quarter 2024, but down 54 basis points compared to first quarter 2024. The linked-quarter improvement was driven by a 25 basis point decrease in the cost of average total interest-bearing liabilities to 4.02% partially offset by a 21 basis point decrease in the average total interest-earnings assets. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits dropped 34 basis points to 3.85% reflecting a decline in market rates, along with a $3.8 billion or 6% decrease in average interest-bearing deposits to $61.7 billion. Additionally, average borrowed funds declined $3.6 billion or 20% to $14.4 billion, while their cost increased 15 basis points to 4.71%.

Average loan balances declined $3.5 billion or 5% to $68.2 billion on a linked-quarter basis, while the average loan yield also declined 22 basis points to 5.06%. Average cash balances declined $7.7 billion or 35% to $14.3 billion as we used a portion of our cash to purchase investment securities and pay down wholesale borrowings. Average investment securities rose modestly, up $720 million or 5.83% to $13.1 billion.

The year-over-year decline in the NIM was due to several factors including lower average total interest-earnings assets due to our strategic actions to sell certain businesses and reduce our commercial real estate concentrations, offset partially by a reduction in average wholesale borrowings, as well as lower overall market interest rates. The average yield on interest-earnings assets declined 61 basis points on a year-over-year basis, while average balances declined $14.4 billion or 13%. This was only partially offset by a 17 basis point decrease in the average cost interest-bearing liabilities, while these average balances decreased $9.2 billion or 11%.

Year-over-year, average loan balances declined $15.9 billion or 19%, while the average loan yield dropped 62 basis points. Average securities balances increased $1.5 billion or 13% along with a corresponding 29 basis point increase in the average yield. This was offset in part by an $11.4 billion or 44% decrease in average borrowings, along with a 28 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings. Average deposit balances rose $2.2 billion or 4% on a year-over-year basis, while the average cost of deposits remained unchanged.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the provision for credit losses decreased $66 million compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. This decrease is primarily due to lower net charge-offs, our continued focus on credit reviews, and the receipt of recent appraisals. Additionally, our ACL balance decreased since December 31, 2024, as result of the on-going strategic reduction of our multi-family, CRE and non-core C&I portfolios. The reduction in our ACL balance was partially offset by the negatively trending macro-economic environment.

Net charge-offs for the first quarter 2025 totaled $115 million, down $107 million or 48% compared to fourth quarter 2024, but were up $34 million or 42% compared to first quarter 2024. Net charge-offs on an annualized basis represented 0.68% of average loans outstanding, compared to 1.23% of fourth quarter 2024 and compared to 0.39% during first quarter 2024.

For the first quarter 2025, pre-provision net loss totaled $42 million compared to a pre-provision net loss of $93 million for fourth quarter 2024 and a pre-provision net loss of $66 million for first quarter 2024. First quarter 2025 pre-provision net loss included two notable items including $6 million related to lease cost accelerated related to branch closures and $5 million in trailing costs related to the sale of the mortgage servicing/sub-servicing and third-party originations business. As adjusted for these items and for merger-related expenses, the first quarter pre-provision net loss improved to $23 million compared to a pre-provision net loss of $53 million for fourth quarter 2024 and pre-provision net revenue of $98 million for first quarter 2024.

Non-Interest Income

In first quarter 2025, non-interest income totaled $80 million compared to $164 million in fourth quarter 2024 and $9 million in first quarter 2024. Included in fourth quarter 2024 non-interest income was a $89 million gain on the sale of our mortgage servicing/sub-servicing and third-party origination business, while first quarter 2024 non-interest income included a bargain purchase gain of $121 million. As adjusted for these items, first quarter 2025 non-interest income increased $8 million or 11% from $72 million in fourth quarter 2024, but declined $50 million or 38% from $130 million in first-quarter 2024.

The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to higher net gain on loan sales and securitizations, up $8 million to $13 million and higher other income, up $2 million or 7%, partially offset by lower fee income, down $11 million or 33%. The year-over-year decline was due to lower fee income, down $12 million or 35%, lower net gain on loan sales and securitizations, down $7 million or 35%, and lower net loan administration income, down $12 million or 75%; partially offset by a $2 million or 7% increase in other income. Both the linked-quarter and year-over-year declines in our net return on mortgage servicing rights and net loan administration income are due to the sale of our mortgage servicing/sub-servicing and third-party origination business during fourth quarter 2024.

First quarter 2025 non-interest expense totaled $532 million, down $186 million or 26% on a linked-quarter basis and down $167 million or 24% on a year-over-year basis. Both first quarter 2025 and fourth-quarter 2024 included a number notable items compared to no such items in first-quarter 2024. Fourth-quarter 2024 included $31 million of severance costs, $77 million of long-term asset impairment costs, and $12 million of costs related to the sale of the mortgage servicing/sub-servicing business. First quarter 2025 included $6 million of lease cost acceleration related to branch closures and $5 million in trailing costs related to the sale of the mortgage servicing/sub-servicing business.

As adjusted for these items and excluding intangible asset amortization and merger-related expenses, first quarter 2025 non-interest expenses totaled $485 million, down $71 million or 13% on a linked-quarter basis and down $136 million or 22% on a year-over-year basis. The linked-quarter decreases were driven by a $27 million or 10% decline in compensation and benefits expense, a $24 million or 32% decrease in FDIC insurance expense, and a $21 million or 13% decline in general and administrative expenses. The year-over-year decline was the result of an $89 million or 27% decrease in compensation and benefits expense and a $44 million or 24% decline in general and administrative expenses.

Non-Performing Assets

At March 31, 2025, total non-accrual loans, including held-for-sale, were $3,301 million, up $363 million or 12% compared to December 31, 2024. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to higher non-accrual multi-family loans and a majority of this increase was tied to one borrower relationship. Excluding this relationship, total non-accrual loans would have decreased $35 million or 1.3%. The year-over-year increase was driven by increased multi-family and commercial real estate, mostly office-related, non-accruals, as the Company proactively dealt with potential credit issues throughout 2024.

Total non-accrual loans HFI to total loans HFI were 4.9% at March 31, 2025 compared to 3.8% at December 31, 2024 and 0.97% at March 31, 2024.

Total Allowance for Credit Losses

The total allowance for credit losses was $1,215 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $1,251 million at December 31, 2024 and $1,288 million at March 31, 2024. The total allowance for credit losses on loans and leases at March 31, 2025 was $1,168 million compared to $1,201 million at December 31, 2024 and $1,215 million at March 31, 2024.

The total allowance for credit losses to total loans at March 31, 2025 was 1.82% compared to 1.83% at December 31, 2024 and 1.56% at March 31, 2024.  The total allowance for credit losses on loans and leases to total loans held for investment was 1.75% at March 31, 2025 compared to 1.76% at December 31, 2024 and 1.48% at March 31, 2024.

The allowance for credit losses in the first quarter declined slightly as a result of our ongoing focus on credit and declines in total loans, held-or-investment. Additionally, we had a 48% decline in net charge-offs.

FLAGSTAR FINANCIAL, 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 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. 

Additionally, 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.

In addition, 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 they are commonly employed and are measures frequently cited by investors and analysts.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable measures 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 tables reconcile the above the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their comparable GAAP financial measures for the stated periods:
