CEO COMMENTARY

Commenting on the Company's third-quarter operating results and performance, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas R. Cangemi said: "Overall, we had a solid third quarter, despite the impact from aggressive monetary policy and an inverted yield curve.  We recorded very good loan and deposit growth, stellar asset quality, and stable operating expenses.  In terms of our net interest margin, given the liability-sensitive nature of our balance sheet, we witnessed NIM compression.  However, we still reported diluted earnings per share of $0.31 on a non-GAAP basis, excluding merger-related charges, which were in line with consensus and unchanged from the third quarter of last year.  In addition, our profitability was strong with a return on average tangible assets of over 1% and a return on average tangible common equity of nearly 15%.

"We had another good quarter for loan growth, albeit lower than the double-digit growth during the last three quarters.  Since the start of the year, total loans have increased $3.2 billion or 9% on an annualized basis to $49.0 billion.  The majority of this growth is in our core multi-family lending segment, but we are also extremely pleased with the growth we have experienced in our specialty finance segment.  Our multi-family portfolio grew $407 million compared to the previous quarter and has increased $2.6 billion or 10% annualized since the beginning of the year.  At the same time, our specialty finance portfolio increased $117 million compared to the prior quarter and $755 million or 29% annualized since the beginning of the year. 

"Our deposit growth continued this quarter, despite higher interest rates which led to outflows in certain categories.  Total deposits increased $461 million compared to the previous quarter and are up $6.6 billion or 25% annualized year-to-date.  This growth continues to be driven by our BaaS initiatives and by loan-related deposits.  BaaS-related deposits now represent $7.9 billion of total deposits or 19%, while loan-related deposits are $4.8 billion or 11% of total deposits.

"Non-interest expenses declined during the quarter to $132 million, excluding approximately $4 million in merger-related expenses.  This comes despite our continued investments in people and business lines.

"Our credit quality remains superb as non-performing assets declined $6 million on a linked-quarter basis and represent a mere 0.08% of total assets.  We also had zero net charge-offs during the quarter.  These strong asset quality metrics reflect our conservative underwriting and our historical track record of little to no losses in our core portfolios."

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

On October 25, 2022, 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 of $8.95, this represents an annualized dividend yield of 7.6%.  The dividend is payable on November 17, 2022 to common stockholders of record as of November 7, 2022.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

At September 30, 2022, total assets were $63.0 billion, relatively unchanged compared to the previous quarter and up $3.4 billion or 8% annualized compared to December 31, 2021.  The year-to-date increase was driven primarily by loan growth and to a lesser extent, growth in the securities portfolio.  The linked-quarter change was driven by loan growth offset largely by a decline in cash balances.

Total loans held for investment increased $3.2 billion or 9% annualized to $49.0 billion compared to December 31, 2021 and up $447 million compared to June 30, 2022.  Loan growth continues to be driven by growth in both the multi-family and specialty finance portfolios.

During the quarter, the Company reinvested a portion of its cash position into short-term treasury securities.  Accordingly, total available-for-sale securities increased $1.0 billion to $6.7 billion compared to the second quarter of the year.  At the same time, the level of cash balances declined $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion compared to the second quarter.

On the liability side, total deposits increased $6.6 billion or 25% annualized to $41.7 billion compared to December 31, 2021 and rose $461 million compared to June 30, 2022.  At the same time, borrowed funds declined $2.8 billion or 22% annualized to $13.8 billion compared to December 31, 2021 and $509 million compared to June 30, 2022.

Loans

At September 30, 2022, the multi-family loan portfolio totaled $37.2 billion, representing strong growth both on a year-to-date and linked-quarter basis.  Multi-family loans increased $2.6 billion or 10% annualized compared to December 31, 2021 and $407 million compared to June 30, 2022.

Specialty finance loans also continued to increase, growing $755 million or 29% annualized to $4.3 billion compared to December 31, 2021 and $117 million compared to June 30, 2022.  As of September 30, 2022, total commitments in the specialty finance segment were $7.3 billion, up 11% compared to $6.6 billion at June 30, 2022.  Of the third-quarter 2022 amount, 78% or $5.7 billion are structured as floating rate obligations, which have and continue to favorably impact us in a rising rate environment.

Originations

Loan originations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $3.8 billion, up 27% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, but down 29% compared to the record amount the Company originated during the three months ended June 30, 2022.  The linked-quarter decline was partially due to seasonal factors.

During the current third quarter, multi-family originations totaled $1.7 billion, down slightly compared to the year-ago third quarter and down $1.2 billion compared to the record second-quarter results.  Specialty finance originations totaled $1.6 billion during the third quarter of 2022, up nearly double compared to the third quarter of last year and down $317 million or 17% compared to the second quarter of this year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, loan originations totaled $12.6 billion, up $4 billion or 47% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.  Multi-family loan originations increased 32% to $7.1 billion while specialty finance originations more than doubled to $4.1 billion.

Third-quarter 2022 originations exceeded the prior quarter's pipeline of $2.5 billion by $1.2 billion or 147%.

Pipeline

The current pipeline heading into the fourth quarter of the 2022 stands at $2.3 billion.  Approximately 87% of the pipeline represents new money to the Bank.  The current pipeline includes $1.0 billion of multi-family loans, $410 million of CRE loans, and $692 million of specialty finance loans. 

Asset Quality

Non-Performing Assets

The Company's asset quality during the third quarter continues to be strong.  Non-performing assets at September 30, 2022 declined $6 million or 11% to $50 million compared to June 30, 2022.  This represents 0.08% of total assets compared to 0.09% at June 30, 2022.  Total non-performing loans declined 10% to $45 million at September 30, 2022 compared to $50 million at June 30, 2022 and now represent 0.09% of total loans compared to 0.10% of total loans at June 30, 2022.  Repossessed assets, consisting primarily of repossessed taxi medallion loans were $5 million at September 30, 2022, down $1 million as compared to June 30, 2022.  Total loans 30 to 89 days past due increased $9 million to $39 million at September 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2022. 

Allowance for Credit Losses

At September 30, 2022, the ACL was $218 million, up $2 million compared to June 30, 2022, and up $19 million compared to December 31, 2021.  At September 30, 2022, the ACL represented 480.22% of NPLs and 0.45% of total loans compared to 434.11% of NPLs and 0.45% of total loans at June 30, 2022, and 611.79% of NPLs and 0.44% of total loans at December 31, 2021.

Deposits

As of September 30, 2022, deposits totaled $41.7 billion, up $6.6 billion or 25% annualized compared to December 31, 2021 and up $461 million compared to June 30, 2022.  The strong increase on a year-to-date basis was driven by growth in the Company's Banking as a Service ("BaaS") initiative and growth in loan-related deposits.  This growth moderated during the current third quarter due to seasonally lower loan growth and the impact of higher market interest rates.

Our BaaS deposits fall into three verticals: traditional BaaS; banking as a service for government agencies, including various municipalities and the U.S. Treasury's prepaid debit card program; and mortgage as a service, catering to mortgage companies, and consisting of escrow deposit accounts for principal, interest payments, and tax payments.  At September 30, 2022, traditional BaaS deposits totaled $5.3 billion, government BaaS deposits totaled $579 million, and mortgage as a service deposits totaled $2.0 billion.

On a year-to-date basis, loan-related deposits are up $793 million or 26% annualized on a year-to-date basis.  Additionally, business operating accounts with a weighted average cost of 61 basis points make up 32% of total loan-related deposits.

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net interest income increased $8 million or 3% to $326 million on a year-over-year basis, but decreased $33 million or 9% on a linked-quarter basis.  While interest income rose both on a year-over-year basis, the aggressive pace of interest rate increases during the past quarter led to a significant increase in interest expense.  This was due to both an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities along with a higher cost of funds.

Average interest-earnings assets increased 13% on a year-over-year basis and 3% on a linked-quarter basis to $58.6 billion, primarily driven by growth in average loans.  This was accompanied by a 27 basis point increase in the average yield to 3.47% on a year-over-year basis and a 15 basis point increase on a linked-quarter basis.  This improvement was partly offset by a 54 basis point year-over-year increase and a 49 basis point linked-quarter increase to 1.41% in the average cost of funds, along with a 15% year-over-year increase and a 4% linked-quarter increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to $51.6 billion.

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2022, non-interest expense totaled $415 million, up $9 million or 2% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021.  Merger-related expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled $15 million compared to $16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.  Excluding the impact of merger-related expenses, total operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $400 million, up $10 million or 3% compared to $390 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.  The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 37.53% compared to 38.58% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, income tax expense totaled $53 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 25.66% compared to income tax expense of $59 million with an effective tax rate of 25.60% in the previous quarter and income tax expense of $50 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 25.19% in the year-ago quarter.  The linked-quarter decrease in our income tax expense was driven primarily by a lower amount of pre-tax income.

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2022, total income tax expense was $164 million, up slightly compared to total income tax expense of $161 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.  This represents an effective tax rate of 25.48% and 26.48%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The year-ago nine-month period included $2 million of income tax expense due to the revaluation of deferred taxes related to a change in the New York State tax rate.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

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, intentions, and expectations regarding revenues, earnings, loan production, asset quality, capital levels, and acquisitions, among other matters; our estimates of future costs and benefits of the actions we may take; our assessments of probable losses on loans; our assessments of interest rate and other market risks; and our ability to achieve our financial and other strategic goals, including those related to the pending merger with Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. and the strategic relationship with Figure Technologies, Inc.

Forward–looking statements are typically identified by such words as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "outlook," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "should," 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 the following principal risks and uncertainties: the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the length of time that the pandemic continues, the potential imposition of future shelter in place orders or additional restrictions on travel in the future, the effect of the pandemic on the general economy and on the businesses of our borrowers and their ability to make payments on their obligations, the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by federal, state, and local governments; the inability of employees to work due to illness, quarantine, or government mandates; general economic conditions and trends, either nationally or locally; conditions in the securities 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; changes in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non–financial institutions; changes in legislation, regulations, and policies; 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 pending merger with Flagstar Bancorp and our strategic relationship with Figure Technologies, Inc.: the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of any of the parties to the pending transactions to terminate the agreements governing such transactions; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or any other party to the transactions; the possibility that the proposed transactions will not close when expected or at all because required regulatory or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closings are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions will not be realized when expected or at all; 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 proposed transactions within the expected timeframes or at all; revenues following the proposed transactions may be lower than expected; and there can be no assurance that the Community Benefits Agreement entered into with NCRC, which is contingent upon the closing of the Company's pending 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 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in other SEC reports we file.

NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC.
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:

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:

Book value per common share	$	13.39			$	13.56			$	13.90			$	13.39			$	13.90
Common stockholders' equity to total assets		9.92				10.02				11.17				9.92				11.17
NON-GAAP MEASURES:
Return on average tangible assets (1)		1.02	%			1.17	%			1.08	%			1.10	%			1.08	%
Return on average tangible common stockholders' equity (2)		14.81				16.73				13.89				15.43				14.12
Tangible book value per common share	$	8.19			$	8.35			$	8.68			$	8.19			$	8.68
Tangible common stockholders' equity to tangible assets		6.31				6.42				7.28				6.31				7.28

(1)	To calculate return on average assets for a period, we divide net income generated during that period by average assets recorded during that period. 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 available 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 available 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 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 related to our pending merger with Flagstar, the CARES Act-related tax benefit, and the revaluation of deferred taxes related to New York State tax rate changes 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 expenses are non-deductible.

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

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:

1. 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.
   
   
2. Adjusted net interest margin is among the measures considered by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison to, our peers.
