Introduction

We are a Michigan-based savings and loan holding company founded in 1993. Our business is primarily conducted through our principal subsidiary, the Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank founded in 1987. Based on our assets at March 31, 2017, we are one of the largest banks headquartered in Michigan, providing commercial, small business, and consumer banking services. At March 31, 2017, we had 2,948 full-time equivalent employees inclusive of account executives and loan officers. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "FBC." We are considered a controlled company for NYSE purposes, because MP Thrift Investments, L.P. held approximately 62.4 percent of our common stock as of March 31, 2017.

Our banking network emphasizes the delivery of a complete set of banking and mortgage products and services and we distinguish ourselves by crafting specialized solutions for our customers, local delivery, customer service and competitive product pricing. At March 31, 2017, we operated 99 full services banking branches throughout Michigan's major markets where we offer a full set of banking products to consumer, commercial, and government customers.

We have a unique, relationship-based business model of a leading Michigan-based bank leveraging a national mortgage business which, itself, leverages the bank. We believe our strong position and focus on service creates a significant competitive advantage in the markets in which we compete. The disciplined management team we have assembled is focused on developing substantial and attractive growth opportunities that generate profitable operations with significant operating leverage. We believe our lower risk profile and strong capital level positions us to better exploit the opportunities that our business model yields and deliver attractive shareholder returns over the long term.

We are a national mortgage originator and utilize multiple origination channels including correspondent, broker, distributed retail, and direct to consumer. We also service and subservice mortgage loans for others on a fee for service basis and may also collect ancillary fees, such as late fees and earn income through the use of noninterest bearing escrow deposits. These escrow deposit accounts and amounts received from servicing loans generate company controlled deposits which offer a stable, low cost, long-term source of funding.

Operating Segments

Our operations are conducted through three operating segments: Community Banking, Mortgage Originations, Mortgage Servicing. Additionally, our Other segment includes the remaining reported activities. For financial information and additional details regarding each of these operating segments, please see MD&A - Operating Segments and Note 18 - Segment Information, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Executive Overview

The first quarter 2017 resulted in solid earnings of $27 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, despite facing the headwinds of seasonality and higher interest rates in our mortgage business. Our Community Bank continued to be a solid contributor to net interest income where strong growth in commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and mortgage loans partially overcame a decline in warehouse loans. Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming loans declining to $28 million, the lowest reported in over 20 years. We also saw continued growth in retail deposits at an attractive funding level.

We saw strong returns on the mortgage servicing rights we hold, reflecting the stronger market we are seeing in this interest rate environment. Benefiting from these market conditions, we continued to execute our strategy to reduce MSRs given the requirements of Basel III. In the first quarter, we sold $65 million of our mortgage servicing rights. In the second quarter, we have entered into pending bulk sales of an additional $195 million of mortgage servicing rights under contract at an approximately break-even price, including transaction costs. We have retained servicing on approximately 80 percent of the total MSR sale amount.

We recently announced two acquisitions that will support our position as a national leader in the mortgage industry. First was the purchase of the delegated correspondent business of Stearns Lending. This was an opportunistic acquisition that allows us to become a top five player in this channel. Second was our agreement to purchase certain assets of Opes Advisors, a high-quality retail mortgage originator, which we expect to close in the second quarter. This pending acquisition dovetails nicely with our interest in growing our retail mortgage channel.

We remain committed to continuing to grow our Community Bank and solidifying our position as an industry leader in mortgage banking. Looking ahead, we believe we are well positioned to benefit from a stronger economy, a stronger housing market and the pivot to a stronger purchase mortgage market.

Our net income decreased $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. Net interest income increased $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily driven by strong commercial loan growth as a result of our strategic initiative to grow the Community Bank and improve margins by continuing to add higher margin loans within all portfolios. This is highlighted by an increase in the average balances of our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios, which were up 35 percent and 60 percent, respectively. This improvement in net interest income was more than offset by an increase in provision for loan losses and lower noninterest income.

In the first quarter 2017, our provision approximated net charge-offs as compared to a 2016 first quarter benefit which resulted from a release of reserves driven by a decrease in residential first mortgage loans primarily due to the sales of $787 million UPB of performing first residential loans and $96 million UPB of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency residential mortgage loans. This first quarter 2016 sales resulted in a $9 million gain on sale.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Net interest income increased $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, primarily driven by an increase in average rates and growth in interest-earning assets. This was partially offset by an increase in average rate and average balance of interest-bearing debt due to the issuance of $250 million of 6.125 percent senior notes ("2021 Senior Notes"), which occurred in the third quarter of 2016. Our net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 2.67 percent, compared to 2.66 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The net 1 basis point increase was driven by mix, resulting from us shifting from lower yielding residential mortgage loans to higher yielding

commercial loans, which was further positively impacted by an increase in market rates. This improvement was partially offset by the issuance of our 2021 Senior Notes in the third quarter 2016.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, average LHFS increased $377 million primarily due to extending turn times while the combined $748 million increase in average commercial loans and average investment securities was consistent with our strategy to grow the community bank and enhance the yield on our interest earning assets. Declines in average consumer loans and loans with government guarantees were the result of sales that occurred throughout 2016.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $496 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was driven by a $451 million increase in average total deposits and the issuance of our 2021 Senior Notes, partially offset by lower FHLB advances.

Provision (Benefit) for Loan Losses

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The provision (benefit) for loan losses was a provision of $3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a benefit of $13 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the $3 million provision approximated net charge-offs during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The $13 million benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2016, resulted primarily from a release of reserves driven by a decrease in residential first mortgage loans due to the sale of $787 million UPB of performing residential first mortgage loans and $96 million UPB of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency residential mortgage loans.
Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to $4 million, compared to $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, net charge-offs included $2 million and $3 million associated with loans with government guarantees, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, net charge-offs included $1 million associated with the sale or transfer of $106 million UPB of nonperforming, performing, and jumbo loans, compared to $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 associated with the sale or transfer of $96 million of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency loans. As a percentage of the average LHFI, net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased to 0.27 percent from 0.86 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Excluding the charge-offs associated with loan sales or transfers and loans with government guarantees, net charge-offs as a percentage of the average LHFI were 0.07 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to 0.20 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Total noninterest income decreased $5 million in the first quarter 2017, compared to the same period in 2016.

Net gain on loan sales decreased $27 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to $867 million in lower fallout-adjusted locks, driven by lower refinance activity as a result of higher rates, partially offset by improved purchase volume. The net gain on loan sales margin decreased 16 basis points primarily driven by our decision to extend turn times on LHFS which benefits net interest income during periods of lower loan production. The decrease in net gain on loan sales was also attributed to increased loan sales occurring in the first quarter 2016 that resulted in a $9 million gain on loan sale.

Net return on MSRs was $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a loss of $6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The $20 million increase was primarily driven by the higher interest rate environment we experienced in the first quarter of 2017 which resulted in lower prepayments, lower prepayment assumptions and favorable fair value adjustments driven by other improved market pricing indicators.
Representation and warranty benefit was $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a benefit of $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The representation and warranty reserve was reduced by $4 million in the first quarter 2017, reflecting a continued improvement in risk trends and lower repurchase pipeline which was only $6 million as of March 31, 2017.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Noninterest expense increased $3 million to $140 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $137 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. An increase in compensation and benefits was the primary driver of the change, driven by an increase in headcount to support both growth in Community Banking and an acquisition completed in the first quarter of 2017.

Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $13 million, compared to a provision of $21 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 33.1 percent, compared to 34.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 differs from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to non-taxable bank owned life insurance and other tax-exempt earnings, partially offset by nondeductible expenses.

For further information, see Note 14 - Income Taxes.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

Community Banking

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Community Banking segment reported net income of $6 million, compared to $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The provision for loans losses totaled $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to a benefit of $13 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The $15 million increase in provision for loan losses primarily resulted from first quarter 2016 sales of residential first mortgage loans. Other noninterest income decreased $7 million primarily due to a decline in net gain on loan sales. These were partially offset by a $7 million decrease in provision for income taxes, along with an increase in net interest income of $4 million primarily due to an increase in deposit spread in addition to loan growth.


Mortgage Originations

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The Mortgage Originations segment net income increased $3 million to $26 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $23 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase was primarily due to $20 million higher net return on the MSRs driven by the higher interest rate environment we experienced in the first quarter of 2017 which resulted in lower prepayments, lower prepayment assumptions and favorable fair value adjustments driven by other improved market pricing indicators. The increase was partially offset by a $19 million decrease in net gain on loan sales primarily due to an $867 million decrease in fallout-adjusted locks and a 16 basis point decrease in margin resulting from competitive factors and the impact of extending turn times on LHFS.

Mortgage Servicing

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The Mortgage Servicing segment reported a net loss of $5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2017, and for the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we had an increase in other noninterest income primarily due to an increase in fees resulting from a higher number of loans serviced, offset by an increase in asset resolution expense and an increase in compensation and benefits expense driven by higher headcount.

Other

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Other segment net income was less than $1 million, as compared to net income of $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in net interest income, as a result of interest expense due to our issuance of our 2021 Senior Notes, which occurred in the third quarter of 2016.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Like all financial services companies, we engage in business activities and assume the related risks. The risks we are subject to in the normal course of business, include, but are not limited to, credit, regulatory compliance, legal, reputation, liquidity, market, operational, and strategic. We have made significant investments in our risk management activities which are focused on ensuring we properly identify, measure and manage such risks across the entire enterprise to maintain safety and soundness and maximize profitability. We hold capital to protect from the risk of unexpected loss.

A comprehensive discussion of risks affecting us can be found in the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Some of the more significant processes used to manage and control credit, liquidity, market, and operational risks are described in the following paragraphs.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss to us arising from an obligor’s inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. Like other financial services institutions, we make loans, extend credit, purchase securities, and enter into financial derivative contracts, all of which have related credit risk. The majority of our credit risk is associated with lending activities, as the acceptance and management of credit risk is central to profitable lending.
Loans held-for-investment

Loans held-for-investment decreased from $6.1 billion at December 31, 2016, to $6.0 billion at March 31, 2017. For the period, growth in our commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and consumer loan portfolios was more than offset by a $397 million decline in warehouse loans which was the result of seasonality and a lower mortgage market driven by a reduction in refinance volume  partially offset by higher purchase volume.  

For further information relating to the LHFI, see Note 4 - Loans Held-for-Investment.


Residential first mortgage loans. We originate or purchase various types of conforming and non-conforming fixed and adjustable rate loans underwritten using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing owner occupied and second home properties. The LTV requirements vary depending on occupancy, property type, loan amount, and FICO. Loans with LTVs exceeding 80 percent are required to obtain mortgage insurance.

At March 31, 2017, the largest geographic concentrations of our residential first mortgage loans in our held-for-investment portfolio were in California, Michigan, and Florida, which represented 56 percent of such loans outstanding.

(6)Includes only those loans that are currently in the interest-only phase of repayment. Loans originated as interest-only that are now amortizing are included in amortizing loans.
Second mortgage loans/HELOANs. The second mortgage loans require full documentation and are underwritten and priced to ensure high credit quality and loan profitability. Our current allowable debt-to-income ratio for approval of second mortgages is capped at 43 percent. We currently limit the maximum CLTV to 89.99 percent and FICO scores to a minimum of 660. Current fixed rate loans are available with terms up to 15 years.

Home Equity Line of Credit loans. HELOC loans require full documentation and are underwritten and priced to ensure high credit quality and loan profitability. Underwriting guidelines for our HELOC originations have been established to attract higher credit quality loans with long-term profitability. HELOC loans are adjustable-rate loans that contain a 10-year interest-only draw period followed by a 20-year amortizing period. We also offer HELOC loans for a term period of five to 15 years to repay. Generally, the minimum FICO is 660, maximum CLTV up to 89.99 percent, and the maximum debt-to-income ratio is 45 percent.
Commercial loans held-for-investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we have continued to grow our commercial loan portfolio. Our Community Banking segment includes relationships with relationship managers throughout Michigan's major markets. Our commercial LHFI totaled $3.1 billion at March 31, 2017 and $3.3 billion at December 31, 2016. The portfolio consists of three loan types: commercial and industrial (includes direct finance leases), CRE, and warehouse, each of which is discussed in more detail below.

Commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial LHFI facilities typically include lines of credit and term loans to middle market businesses for use in normal business operations to finance working capital, equipment and capital purchases, acquisition and expansion projects. This portfolio includes unsecured home builder loans of $69 million at March 31, 2017. We lend to customers with a history of profitability and a long-term business model. Generally, leverage is limited to a ratio of 3 times and the minimum debt service coverage is 1.20. Most of our C&I loans earn interest at a variable rate and we offer our customers the ability to enter into interest rate swaps.

Commercial real estate loans. Our commercial real estate LHFI portfolio is comprised of loans that are collateralized by diversified real estate properties intended to be income-producing in the normal course of business. Our commercial real

estate lending relationships are primarily based in the Midwest. Generally, the maximum LTV is 80 percent, or 85 percent for owner-occupied real estate and debt service coverage of 1.20 to 1.35 times. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our commercial real estate LHFI portfolio grew $138 million to a balance of $1.4 billion. This portfolio also includes owner occupied real estate loans, in addition to secured home builder loans. In 2016, we launched a national home builder finance program to grow our balance sheet, increase commercial deposits and develop incremental revenue through our retail purchase mortgage channel. We had $202 million of secured home builder loans outstanding at March 31, 2017.

(2)Special purpose and all other primarily includes: condominiums, movie theaters, land (vacant), nursing home, and charter schools, etc.
Warehouse lending. We also offer warehouse lines of credit to other mortgage lenders. These allow the lender to fund the closing of residential first mortgage loans. Each extension or draw-down on the line is collateralized by mortgage loans being funded and is paid off once the loan is sold to an outside investor or retained within the Bank. Underlying mortgage loans are predominantly originated using the agencies' underwriting standards. The guideline for debt to tangible net worth is 15 to 1. Despite the contraction in warehouse lending which occurred in the first quarter 2017, we are continuing to focus on increasing market share in the warehouse lending market through our strategic initiative to increase lending to customers who originate loans they then sell to outside third party investors. We have a national platform with relationship managers covering both coasts and a large Michigan based sales team. The aggregate committed amount of adjustable-rate warehouse lines of credit granted to other mortgage lenders at March 31, 2017 was $2.5 billion, of which $0.8 billion was outstanding, compared to $2.9 billion at December 31, 2016, of which $1.2 billion was outstanding.

Credit Quality

Management considers a number of qualitative and quantitative factors in assessing the level of our ALLL. For further information see MD&A - Allowance for Loan Losses. As illustrated in the following tables, trends in certain credit quality characteristics such as nonperforming loans and past due statistics remain very strong and continue to show improvement. This is predominantly a result of run-off and sales of legacy portfolios that included nonperforming and TDR loans which have been replaced by new loans with strong credit characteristics.

Past due loans held-for-investment

For all portfolios within the consumer and commercial loan portfolio, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due (or nonperforming), or earlier when we become aware of information indicating that collection of principal and interest is in doubt. While it is the goal of management to collect on loans, we attempt to work out a satisfactory repayment schedule or modification with past due borrowers and will undertake foreclosure proceedings if the delinquency is not satisfactorily resolved. Our practices regarding past due loans are designed to both assist borrowers in meeting their contractual obligations and minimize losses incurred by the bank. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued interest income is reversed. Loans return to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully collectible.

At March 31, 2017, we had $33 million of past due (payment of principal or interest is 30 days past the scheduled payment date) LHFI. Of those past due loans, $28 million loans were nonperforming bringing the level of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2017 to the lowest we’ve reported in over 20 years. At December 31, 2016, we had $50 million of past due LHFI. Of those past due loans, $40 million loans were nonperforming. The decrease from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 was primarily due to improved asset quality and the sale or transfer of nonperforming loans.

Early stage delinquencies remained low with the 30 to 59 days past due loans decreasing to $4 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $8 million at December 31, 2016, primarily driven by improved asset quality growth.

The ratio of nonperforming loans to LHFI decreased to 0.47 percent at March 31, 2017 from 0.67 percent at December 31, 2016.

Consumer loans. As of March 31, 2017, nonperforming consumer loans decreased $12 million from December 31, 2016, primarily due to the sale or transfer of nonperforming loans and the continued improvement in our overall credit quality. Net charge-offs in consumer loans totaled $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $12 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, due to the charge-offs of $1 million and $6 million related to the sale or transfer of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

Commercial loans. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there were no nonperforming commercial loans. There were no net charge-offs of commercial loans for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016.        

Troubled debt restructurings (held-for-investment)

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are modified loans in which a borrower demonstrates financial difficulties and for which a concession has been granted. The decrease of $26 million in our total TDR loans at March 31, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016 was primarily due to the sale of nonperforming loans during the three months ended March 31, 2017. Nonperforming TDRs were 54.0 percent and 44.2 percent of total nonperforming loans at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Nonperforming TDRs are included in nonaccrual loans. TDRs remain in nonperforming status until a borrower has made at least six consecutive months of payments under the modified terms. Performing TDRs are excluded from nonaccrual loans because it is reasonably assured that all contractual principal and interest due under the restructured terms will be collected. Within consumer nonperforming loans, residential first mortgage TDRs were 65.8 percent of residential first mortgage nonperforming loans at March 31, 2017, compared to 37.4 percent at December 31, 2016.

The following table sets forth a summary of TDRs by performing status and activity during each of the years presented:

(3)There were no commercial TDRs at March 31, 2017 and 2016.
(4)There were no commercial TDRs at March 31, 2017.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The ALLL represents management's estimate of probable losses that are inherent in our LHFI portfolio but which have not yet been realized. The consumer loan portfolio includes residential first mortgages, second mortgages, HELOC, and other consumer loans. The commercial loan portfolio includes CRE, C&I and warehouse lending. For further information, see Note 4 - Loans Held-for-Investment.

The ALLL decreased $1 million to $141 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $142 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease from December 31, 2016 was driven by improved asset quality and low sustained levels of charge-offs, partially offset by volume mix, which included growth in commercial loans.
The ALLL as a percentage of LHFI remained at 2.4 percent as of March 31, 2017, no change from 2.4 percent as of December 31, 2016. At March 31, 2017, we had a 2.9 percent allowance coverage of our consumer loan portfolio. The commercial loan ALLL coverage ratio was 1.9 percent at March 31, 2017, reflecting the continued growth in the portfolio, along with the continued strong credit quality.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of reduced earnings and or declines in the net market value of the balance sheet primarily due to changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or equity prices. We do not have any material foreign currency exchange risk or equity price risk. The primary market risk is interest rate risk and results from timing differences in the repricing of our assets and liabilities, changes in the relationships between rate indices, and the potential exercise of explicit or embedded options.

Interest rate risk is monitored by the ALCO, which is composed of our executive officers and other members of management, in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the ALCO considers the impact projected interest rate scenarios have on earnings and capital, liquidity, business strategies, and other factors. The ALCO meets monthly or as deemed necessary to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and fair values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activity, LHFS and commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments, borrowings and time deposits.

Financial instruments used to manage interest rate risk include derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward sales commitments. For further information, see Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements. All of our derivatives are accounted for at fair market value. All mortgage loan production originated for sale is accounted for on a fair value basis.

To effectively measure and manage interest rate risk, sensitivity analysis is used to determine the impact on earnings and the net market value of the balance sheet across various interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends, and strategies. From these simulations, interest rate risk is quantified and appropriate strategies are developed and implemented. Additionally, duration and net interest income sensitivity measures are utilized when they provide added value to the overall interest rate risk management process. The overall interest rate risk position and strategies are reviewed by executive management and the board of directors on an ongoing basis. However, management has the latitude to increase interest rate sensitivity within certain limits if, in management's judgment, the increase will enhance profitability.

Net interest income simulation analysis provides estimated net interest income of the current balance sheet across alternative interest rate scenarios. The net interest income analysis measures the sensitivity of interest sensitive earnings over a 12 month time horizon. The analysis holds the current balance sheet values constant and does not take into account management intervention. The net interest income simulation demonstrates the level of interest rate risk inherent in the existing balance sheet.
The following table is a summary of the changes in our net interest income that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates. The interest rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and rates in those periods adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate changes plus or minus 200 basis points. The minus 200 basis point shock scenario is a flattener scenario as rates are floored at zero given the current interest rate levels.

At March 31, 2017, the $58 million increase in the net interest income in the constant scenario as compared to December 31, 2016, was primarily driven by the increased size of balance sheet.


We have also projected the potential impact to net interest income in a hypothetical interest rate scenario as of March 31, 2017. When increasing short-term interest rates instantaneously by 100 basis points and holding the longer term interest rates unchanged, the decrease to net interest income over a 12-month and 24-month period based on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 is a loss of $42 million and $52 million, respectively.

In the net interest income simulation, our balance sheet exhibits slight asset sensitivity. When interest rates rise our interest income increases. Conversely when interest rates fall our interest income decreases. The net interest income simulation measures the interest rate risk of the balance sheet over a short period of time, typically 12 months. An additional analysis is completed that measures the interest rate risk over an extended period of time. The EVE analysis provides a fair value of the balance sheet in alternative interest rate scenarios. The EVE analysis does not take into account management intervention and assumes the new rate environment is constant and the change is instantaneous.

The following table is a summary of the changes in our EVE that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates. EVE is the market value of assets, less the market value of liabilities, adjusted for the market value of off-balance sheet instruments. The interest rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and is adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate changes upward to 300 basis points and downward to 100 basis points. The scenarios are not comparable due to differences in the interest rate environments, including the absolute level of rates and the shape of the yield curve. Each rate scenario reflects unique prepayment, repricing, and reinvestment assumptions. Management derives these assumptions by considering published market prepayment expectations, the repricing characteristics of individual instruments or groups of similar instruments, our historical experience, and our asset and liability management strategy. Further, this analysis assumes that certain instruments would not be affected by the changes in interest rates or would be partially affected due to the characteristics of the instruments.

Further, as this framework evaluates risks to the current statement of financial condition only, changes to the volumes and pricing of new business opportunities that can be expected in the different interest rate outcomes are not incorporated in this analytical framework. For instance, analysis of our history suggests that declining interest rate levels are associated with higher loan production volumes at higher levels of profitability. While this "natural business hedge" historically offsets most, if not all, of the identified risks associated with declining interest rate scenarios, these factors fall outside of the EVE framework. Further, there can be no assurance that this natural business hedge would positively affect the EVE in the same manner and to the same extent as in the past.

There are limitations inherent in any methodology used to estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates. It is not possible to fully model the market risk in instruments with leverage, option, or prepayment risks. Also, we are affected by basis risk, which is the difference in repricing characteristics of similar term rate indices. As such, this analysis is not intended to be a precise forecast of the effect a change in market interest rates would have on us.

If EVE increases in any interest rate scenario, that would indicate an increasing direction for the margin in that hypothetical rate scenario. A perfectly matched balance sheet would possess no change in the EVE, no matter what the rate scenario. The following table presents the EVE in the stated interest rate scenarios:
March 31, 2017 December 31, 2016
Scenario EVE EVE% $ Change % Change Scenario EVE EVE% $ Change % Change

(100) 1,984
 13.1% (46) (2.3)% (100) 2,067
 14.9% (33) (1.6)%

Our balance sheet exhibits sensitivity in a rising interest rate scenario as the EVE decreases. The decrease in EVE is the result of the amount of liabilities that would be expected to reprice exceeding the amount of assets repriced in the up to 200 scenario. The (100) is a flattener scenario as shorter term rates are unable to decrease 100 basis points due to the absolute level of rates. Therefore, the yields of the longer term variable rate assets decrease by the full 100 basis points, but the liabilities repricing to shorter term rates decrease to less than 100 basis points, leading to a reduction in EVE.


Mortgage Origination
We utilize multiple production channels to originate or acquire mortgage loans on a national scale to generate high returns on equity capital. This helps grow the servicing business and provides stable, low cost funding for the Community Bank segment. We continue to leverage technology to streamline the mortgage origination process, thereby bringing service and convenience to borrowers and correspondents. We also continue to make available to our customers various web-based tools that facilitate the mortgage loan process through each of our production channels. We will continue to seek new ways to expand our relationships with borrowers and correspondents to provide the necessary capital and liquidity to grow mortgage servicing and the Community Bank segment.

We are a leading national originator of mortgage loans based on our residential first mortgage loan originations. The following tables disclose residential first mortgage loan originations by channel, type and mix for each respective period:

Correspondent. In the correspondent channels, an unaffiliated bank or mortgage company completes the loan paperwork and also funds the loan at closing. After the bank or mortgage company has funded the transaction, we purchase the loan at an agreed upon price. We perform a full review of each loan, whether purchased in bulk or not, purchasing only those loans that were originated in accordance with our underwriting guidelines. Correspondents apply to the Bank and may be approved for delegated underwriting authority. Delegate correspondents assume the risks associated with the underwriting of the loan and earn more on loans sold compared to non-delegated correspondents. Non-delegated correspondents earn commissions and administrative fees for closing and funding loans which are then underwritten by the Bank. We have active correspondent relationships with 1,038 companies located in all 50 states, ranking us as the fourth largest correspondent lender.

Broker. In a broker transaction, an unaffiliated mortgage broker completes several steps of the loan origination process including the loan paperwork, but the loans are underwritten by us on a loan-level basis to our underwriting standards and we fund and close the loan in the Bank's name, thereby becoming the lender of record. We are the eighth largest sub-servicer of mortgage loans nationwide with 674 active mortgage broker relationships located in all 50 states.

Retail. In our retail channel, loans are originated through our nationwide network of stand-alone home loan centers. At
March 31, 2017, we maintained 43 retail locations in 23 states. In a direct-to-consumer lending transaction, loans are originated through our Community Bank segment banking centers and from a national direct-to-consumer call center, both of which may leverage our existing customer relationships. When loans are originated on a retail basis, most aspects of the lending process are completed internally, including the origination documentation (inclusive of customer disclosures), as well as the funding of the transactions. Our centralized loan processing provides efficiencies and allows lending sales staff to focus on business development.

The majority of our total loan originations during the year ended March 31, 2017 represented mortgage loans that were collateralized by residential first mortgages on single-family residences and were eligible for sale to the Agencies. In addition, we originate or purchase residential first mortgage loans, other consumer loans, and commercial loans for our LHFI portfolios. Our revenues include noninterest income from sales of residential first mortgages to the Agencies, net interest income, and revenue from servicing of loans for others.


Our Mortgage Origination segment provides us with a large number of customer relationships through our servicing of loans sold to the Agencies and those loans we retain. These relationships, along with our banking customer relationships, provide us an opportunity to cross-sell a full line of consumer financial products which include mortgage refinancing, HELOC, and other consumer loans.

We primarily utilize borrowings from the FHLB to fund our mortgage LHFS and our warehouse lending portfolio. The FHLB provides funding on a fully collateralized basis to us. Our borrowing capacity with the FHLB is a function of the amount of eligible collateral pledged, which includes residential first mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, commercial real estate loans.    

Loans held-for-sale

The majority of our mortgage loans originated as LHFS are sold into the secondary market by securitizing the loans into agency mortgage backed securities or on a whole loan basis. Sales of loans totaled $4.5 billion, or 75.8 percent of originations during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $6.9 billion, or 109.4 percent of originations during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in sales volume and percentage of originations during the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, was primarily due to the company slowing deliveries to the Agencies to better optimize profitability. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, turn times on LHFS were an average of 67 days compared to an average of 39 days during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, we had outstanding commitments to sell $7.0 billion of mortgage loans. Generally, these commitments are funded within 120 days. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, consumer LHFS totaled $4.5 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, which are primarily residential mortgage loans. For further information on LHFS, see Note 3 - Loans Held-for-Sale.

Mortgage Servicing

We are a top 25 national mortgage servicer. The Mortgage Servicing segment services and subservices mortgage loans for others on a fee for service basis and may also collect ancillary fees and earn income through the use of noninterest bearing escrows. Revenue for those serviced and subserviced loans is earned on a contractual fee basis, with the fees varying based on our responsibilities and the status of the underlying loans. The Mortgage Servicing segment provides servicing of residential mortgages for our own LHFI portfolio in the Community Banking segment for which it earns revenue via an intercompany service fee allocation.

The following table presents the unpaid principal balance (net of write downs) of residential loans serviced and the number of accounts associated with those loans.

(2)Includes temporary short-term subservicing performed as a result of sales of servicing-released MSRs. Includes repossessed assets.

Mortgage servicing rights

At March 31, 2017, MSRs at fair value decreased $40 million to $295 million, compared to $335 million at December 31, 2016, primarily due to bulk MSR sales of $5.8 billion UPB in underlying loans, partially offset by additions from loan sales where we retained servicing. As of March 31, 2017, we have pending MSR sales with a fair value of $195 million expected to close in the second quarter of 2017.


The principal balance of the loans underlying our total MSRs was $26.8 billion at March 31, 2017, compared to $31.2 billion at December 31, 2016, the decrease is primarily attributable to bulk MSR sales in the first quarter 2017, partially offset by loan sales where we retained servicing.

For further information, see Note 7 - Mortgage Servicing Rights.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not have sufficient funds to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects our ability to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate and market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution to meet current financial obligations is a function of the balance sheet structure, the ability to liquidate assets, and access to various sources of funds.
We primarily originate agency-eligible LHFS and therefore the majority of new residential first mortgage loan originations are readily convertible to cash, either by selling them as part of our monthly agency sales, private party whole loan sales, or by pledging them to the FHLB of Indianapolis and borrowing against them. We use the FHLB of Indianapolis as a significant source for funding our residential mortgage banking business due to our flexibility in terms of being able to borrow or repay borrowings as daily cash needs require.

We have arrangements with the FRB of Chicago to borrow as appropriate from its discount window. The discount window is a borrowing facility that is intended to be used only for short-term liquidity needs arising from special or unusual circumstances. The amount we are allowed to borrow is based on the lendable value of the collateral that we provide. To collateralize the line, we pledge investment securities and loans that are eligible based on FRB of Chicago guidelines.

The amount we can borrow, or the value we receive for the assets pledged to our liquidity providers, varies based on the amount and type of pledged collateral as well as the perceived market value of the assets and the "haircut" of the market value of the assets. That value is sensitive to the pricing and policies of our liquidity providers and can change with little or no notice.

Our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows shows cash used in operating activities of $5.2 billion and $1.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This primarily reflects our mortgage operations and is a reflection of the manner in which we execute certain loan sales for which the cash outflow is considered an operating activity and the corresponding cash inflow is considered an investing activity. For the period ending March 31, 2017, operating cash flows declined primarily due to our election to extend the amount of time we hold mortgage backed securities related to our LHFS portfolio.

As governed and defined by our internal liquidity policy, we maintain adequate excess liquidity levels appropriate to cover unanticipated liquidity needs. In addition to this liquidity, we also maintain targeted minimum levels of unused collateralized borrowing capacity as another cushion against unexpected liquidity needs. Each business day, we forecast 90 days of daily cash needs. This allows us to determine our projected near term daily cash fluctuations and also to plan and adjust, if necessary, future activities. As a result, in an adverse environment, we would be able to make adjustments to operations as required to meet the liquidity needs of our business, including adjusting deposit rates to increase deposits, planning for additional FHLB borrowings, accelerating sales of LHFS (agencies and/or private), selling LHFI or investment securities, borrowing through the use of repurchase agreements, reducing originations, making changes to warehouse funding facilities, or borrowing from the discount window.    

Our liquidity position is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. We balance the liquidity of our loan assets to our available funding sources. Our LHFI portfolio is funded with stable core deposits whereas our warehouse and LHFS may be funded with FHLB borrowings.

Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Parent Company Liquidity

The Company obtains its liquidity from multiple sources, including dividends from the Bank and the issuance of debt and equity securities. The primary uses of the Company's liquidity are debt service, dividends to common and preferred

stockholders, capital contributions to the Bank and operating expenses. At March 31, 2017 the Company held $107 million of cash at the Bank.

The OCC regulates all capital distributions made by the Bank, directly or indirectly, to the holding company, including dividend payments. A subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Bank, must file a notice or application with the OCC at least 30 days prior to each proposed capital distribution. Whether an application is required is based on a number of factors including whether the institution qualifies for expedited treatment under the OCC rules and regulations or if the total amount of all capital distributions (including each proposed capital distribution) for the applicable calendar year exceeds net income for that year to date plus the retained net income for the preceding two years. In addition, as a subsidiary of
a savings and loan holding company, the Bank must receive approval from the FRB before declaring any dividends. Additional restrictions on dividends apply if the Bank fails the QTL test.

For further information and restrictions related to the Bank's payment of dividends, see MD&A - Capital and Regulatory Risk.

Deposits

Our deposits consist of three primary categories: retail deposits, government deposits, and company controlled deposits. The composition of our deposits was as follows:

(1)The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit with a minimum denomination of $100,000 was approximately $1 billion at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
(2)Government deposits include funds from municipalities and schools.
(3)These accounts represent a portion of the investor custodial accounts and escrows controlled by us in connection with loans serviced for others and that have been placed on deposit with the Bank.
(4)The aggregate amount of deposits with a balance over $250,000 was approximately $3.9 billion and $4.0 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Total deposits decreased $155 million, or 1.8 percent at March 31, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in company controlled deposits.

We continue to focus on increasing our core deposit which includes demand deposits, savings and money market accounts that provides a lower cost funding source to the Bank. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our core deposits increased $135 million primarily driven by growth in retail savings accounts.

We utilize local governmental agencies, and other public units, as an additional source for deposit funding. As a
Michigan bank, we are not required to hold collateral against our government deposits from Michigan municipalities as they are covered by the Michigan Business and Growth Fund. This results in higher margins earned on these deposits which can be used to fund higher yielding commercial loans. Government deposit accounts include $307 million of certificates of deposit with maturities typically less than one year and $696 million in checking and savings accounts at March 31, 2017.

Company controlled deposits arise due to our servicing or sub-servicing of loans for others and represent the portion of the investor custodial accounts on deposit with the Bank. Certain deposits require us to reimburse the owner for the spread on these funds. This cost is a component of net loan administration income. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, these deposits decreased $301 million, primarily due to timing of seasonal tax payments.

We participate in the CDARS program, through which certain customer CDs are exchanged for CDs of similar amounts from other participating banks. This gives customers the potential to receive FDIC insurance up to $50 million. At March 31, 2017, we had $234 million of total CDs enrolled in the CDARS program. The total CDARS balances increased $3 million at March 31, 2017 from December 31, 2016.

Borrowings

The FHLB provides loans, also referred to as advances, on a fully collateralized basis, to savings banks and other member financial institutions. We are currently authorized through a resolution of our board of directors to apply for advances from the FHLB using approved loan types as collateral. At March 31, 2017, we had the authority and approval from the FHLB to utilize a line of credit of up to $7.0 billion and we may access that line to the extent that collateral is provided. At March 31, 2017, we had $4.4 billion of advances outstanding and an additional $847 million of collateralized borrowing capacity available at the FHLB. At March 31, 2017, we pledged collateral to the Federal Reserve Discount Window amounting to $477 million with a lendable value of $454 million. At December 31, 2016, we pledged collateral to the Federal Reserve Discount Window amounting to $496 million with a lendable value of $474 million. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no borrowings outstanding against this line of credit.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances. FHLB advances increased $1.4 billion to $4.4 billion at March 31, 2017 from $3.0 billion at December 31, 2016. We rely upon advances from the FHLB as a source of funding for the origination or purchase of loans for sale in the secondary market and for providing duration specific short-term and long-term financing. The outstanding balance of FHLB advances fluctuates from time to time depending on our current inventory of mortgage LHFS and the availability of lower cost funding sources. Our portfolio includes short-term fixed rate advances, long-term LIBOR adjustable advances, and long-term fixed rate advances. Interest rates on the LIBOR index advances reset every three months and the advances may be prepaid without penalty, with notification, at scheduled three-month intervals after an initial 12-month lockout period.

For further information relating to FHLB advances, see Note 9 - Borrowings.

Debt. As part of our overall capital strategy, we previously raised capital through the issuance of junior subordinated notes to our special purpose trusts formed for the offerings, which issued preferred stock (trust preferred securities). The trust preferred securities are callable by us at any time. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis; however, we may defer interest payments for up to 20 quarters without default or penalty.

On July 11, 2016, we issued $250 million of 2021 Senior Notes which mature on July 15, 2021. The proceeds from these notes were used to bring current and redeem our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock.

Prior to June 15, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest.

For further information relating to long-term debt, see Note 9 - Borrowings.


Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss due to human error; inadequate or failed internal systems and controls; violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules and regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards; and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, and security risks. We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and regulations, and to improve the oversight of our operational risk.    We evaluate internal systems, processes, and controls to mitigate loss from cyber-attacks and, to date, have not experienced any material losses. The goal of this framework is to implement effective operational risk techniques and strategies, minimize operational and fraud losses, and enhance our overall performance.

Loans with government guarantees

Our loans with government guarantees portfolio totaled $322 million at March 31, 2017. Repossessed assets and the associated claims related to loans with government guarantees recorded in other assets totaled $119 million. At December 31, 2016, our loans with government guarantees portfolio totaled $365 million and repossessed assets and the associated claims related to loans with government guarantees which were recorded in other assets totaled $135 million. The balance of this portfolio decreased at March 31, 2017, primarily due to loans with government guarantees being transferred to LHFS and resold. The decline in repurchased assets and the associated claims related to loans with government guarantees was primarily due to loan liquidations.

Substantially all of these loans continue to be insured or guaranteed by the FHA or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and management believes that the reimbursement process is proceeding appropriately. Nonperforming repurchased loans in this portfolio earn interest at a rate based upon the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rate from the time the underlying loan becomes delinquent, which is not paid by the FHA until claimed. Certain loans within our portfolio may be subject to indemnifications and insurance limits which exposes us to limited credit risk. In the first quarter of 2017, we experienced net charge-offs of $2 million and have reserved for the remaining risks within other assets and as a component of our ALLL on residential first mortgages. These charge-offs arise due to insurance limits on VA insured loans and FHA property foreclosure and preservation requirements that may result in a loss of the guarantee.

For further information, see Note 5 - Loans with Government Guarantees.

Representation and warranty reserve

When we sell mortgage loans, we make customary representations and warranties to the purchasers, including sponsored securitization trusts and their insurers (primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac).

The $4 million benefit from the provision adjustment recorded to representation and warranty reserve expense during the three months ended March 31, 2017, was primarily due to ongoing refinements in our assumptions to reflect repurchase experience related to recent vintages along with reduction in reserve estimates associated with indemnification agreements with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we had $3 million in Fannie Mae new repurchase demands and $3 million in Freddie Mac new repurchase demands. These amounts are down as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016 when we had $7 million in Fannie Mae new repurchase demands and $6 million in Freddie Mac new repurchase demands. The total UPB of 2009 and later vintage loans, which are subject to the representation and warranty reserve, sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was $186 million and $166 million at March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively.
For further information on Representation and Warranty Reserve, see Note 10 - Representation and Warranty Reserve.

Capital and Regulatory Risk

Under the OCC's capital distribution regulations, a savings bank that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company must either notify or seek approval from the OCC of a capital distribution at least 30 days prior to the declaration of a dividend or the approval by the board of directors of the proposed capital distribution. The 30-day period allows the OCC to determine whether the distribution would not be advisable. Also, under Federal Reserve requirements, the Bank must provide a 30-day notice to the Federal Reserve prior to declaring or paying dividends. In addition, under the Supervisory Agreement, the Company agreed to request prior non-objection of the Federal Reserve to pay dividends or other capital distributions. We seek to manage our capital levels and overall business in a manner which we consider to be prudent and work with our regulators to

ensure that our capital levels are appropriate considering our risk profile and evaluation of the capital levels maintained by peer institutions.

In the first quarter 2017, we paid dividends of $48 million from the Bank to the Bancorp. To support the on-going debt service and other Bancorp expenses, we also intend to reduce our Bancorp double leverage and debt to equity ratios to be more consistent with such ratios at other mid-sized banks, which would likely require further dividend payments from the Bank to the Bancorp for the foreseeable future.

Consent Orders

On September 29, 2014, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the CFPB. The Consent Order relates to alleged violations of federal consumer financial laws arising from the Bank’s residential first mortgage loan loss mitigation practices and default servicing operations dating back to 2011. Under the terms of the Consent Order, the Bank paid $28 million for borrower remediation and $10 million in civil money penalties. The settlement does not involve any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Bank or our employees, directors, officers, or agents. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Consent Order, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2014.

Supervisory Agreement

On January 28, 2010, we became subject to the Supervisory Agreement, which will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the Federal Reserve. The failure to comply with the Supervisory Agreement could result in the initiation of further enforcement action by the Federal Reserve, including the imposition of further operating restrictions, and could result in additional enforcement actions against us. We have taken actions which we believe are appropriate to comply with, and intend to maintain compliance with, all of the requirements of the Supervisory Agreement. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Supervisory Agreement, please refer to the copy of the Supervisory Agreement filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2010 and as an exhibit to our 2016 Form 10-K filed on March 13, 2017.

Department of Justice Settlement Agreement

On February 24, 2012, the Bank entered into a Settlement Agreement with the DOJ under which we made an initial payment of $15 million and agreed to make future payments totaling $118 million in annual increments of up to $25 million upon meeting all of the following conditions which are evaluated quarterly and include: (a) the reversal of the DTA valuation allowance, which occurred at the end of 2013; (b) the repayment of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the "TARP Preferred"), which occurred in July 2016; and (c) our Bank has a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 11 percent or greater. Additionally, if the Bank or Bancorp become party to a business combination in which the Bank and Bancorp represent less than 33.3 percent of the resulting company’s assets, annual payments would commence twelve months after the date of that business combination. Further, should all conditions for payment be satisfied, an annual payment under the settlement agreement would be made, and any further payments would be made only so long as such conditions are satisfied at the time required for such further payments.

Within six months of satisfying the conditions specified above, the Bank would make an additional payment, to occur no more frequently than annually, provided that doing so would not violate any material banking regulatory requirement or the OCC does not object in writing. Consistent with our business and regulatory requirements, Flagstar shall seek in good faith to fulfill the conditions, and will not undertake any conduct or fail to take any action the purpose of which is to frustrate or delay our ability to fulfill any of the conditions.

Future annual payments of $25 million or the final payment of the remaining balance under the Settlement Agreement could be required if the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of the Bank meets or exceeds 11 percent. The combination of (a) future dividends from the Bank to Bancorp and (b) continued growth in earning assets at the Bank are expected to continue to limit the growth rate of the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, which could have an impact on the timing of expected cash flows under the Settlement Agreement.

The Settlement Agreement meets the definition of a financial instrument for which we elected the fair value option. The fair value of the liability is subject to significant uncertainty and is impacted by forecasted estimates of equity, earnings, timing and amount of dividends and growth of the balance sheet and their related impacts on forecasted Tier 1 Capital. We consider the assumptions a market participant would make to transfer the liability and evaluate multiple possible outcomes and our estimates of the likelihood of these outcomes, which may change over time.    


Regulatory Capital Composition - Transition

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. We are currently subject to regulatory capital rules issued by U.S. banking regulators.

Effective January 1, 2015, we became subject to the Basel III rules, which include certain transition provisions. Capital deductions to the Company's MSRs and deferred tax assets are recognized in 20 percent annual increments, and will be fully recognized as of January 1, 2018. When presented on a fully phased-in basis, capital, risk-weighted assets, and the capital ratios assume all regulatory capital adjustments and deductions are fully recognized. At March 31, 2017, the Company and the Bank were subject to the transitional phase-in limitation on deductions related to MSRs and certain deferred tax assets. The annual incremental change in the deductions due to the increase in the transitional phase-in from 60 percent in 2016 to 80 percent in 2017 reduced our regulatory capital ratios. These transitional phase in amounts increase to 100 percent in 2018.

Effective January 1, 2016, we became subject to the capital conservation buffer under the Basel III rules, subjecting a banking organization to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization does not maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer for 2017 must be greater than 1.25 percent in order to not be subject to limitations. The Company and the Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 7.8 percent and 10.2 percent, respectively as of March 31, 2017. When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer must be greater than 2.5 percent.

Dodd-Frank Act Section 171, commonly known as the Collins Amendment, grandfathered the regulatory treatment of hybrid securities, such as trust preferred securities issued prior to May 9, 2010, for banks or holding companies with less than $15 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009.

At March 31, 2017, we were considered "well-capitalized" for regulatory purposes. The following tables show the regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

Our Tier 1 leverage ratio increased at March 31, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of earnings offset by an increase in the deductions related to DTAs and MSRs due to the change in transitional phase-in limitation from 60 percent at December 31, 2016 to 80 percent at March 31, 2017.

Banks with assets greater than $10 billion are required to submit a DFAST under the final rules established by their primary regulator. DFAST requires banks to project results over a nine-quarter planning horizon under three scenarios (baseline, adverse, and severely adverse) published by the Federal Reserve and to show that the bank would exceed regulatory minimum capital standards for the Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 common ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the Total risk-based capital ratio under all of these scenarios. We are not subject to the Federal Reserve’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review program.

Certain regulatory capital ratios for the Bank and the Company are shown in the following table:

(1)Refer to MD&A - Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

The impact under the fully phased in Basel III rules to our Tier 1 leverage ratio is mostly driven by the treatment that MSRs receive under Basel III. Once fully phased in, the Basel III capital rules will significantly reduce the allowable amount of the fair value of MSRs included in Tier 1 capital. At March 31, 2017, we had $295 million of MSRs, representing 23.1 percent of Tier 1 capital. Our ratio of MSRs to Tier 1 capital was 26.7 percent at December 31, 2016. Over the long term, we plan to continue to reduce our MSRs to Tier 1 ratio, taking into consideration market conditions to guide our pace of MSR reduction.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as the estimated fully implemented Basel III capital levels and ratios. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in helping to understand the underlying performance and trends of the Company.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, which are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To mitigate these limitations, we have practices in place to ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and to ensure that our performance is properly reflected to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Our method of calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from methods used by other companies. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, can be found in this report.

Nonperforming assets / Tier 1 + Allowance for Loan Losses. The ratio of nonperforming assets to Tier 1 and ALLL divides the total level of nonperforming LHFI assets by Tier 1 capital (to adjusted total assets), as defined by bank regulations, plus ALLL. We believe these measurements are meaningful measures of capital adequacy used by investors, regulators, management and others to evaluate the adequacy of capital in comparison to other companies within the industry.

Basel III (transitional) to Basel III (fully phased-in) reconciliation. On January 1, 2015, the Basel III rules became effective, subject to transition provisions primarily related to regulatory deductions and adjustments impacting common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 capital. When fully phased-in, Basel III, will increase capital requirements through higher minimum capital levels as well as through increases in risk-weights for certain exposures. Additionally, the final Basel III rules place greater emphasis on common equity. In October 2013, the OCC and Federal Reserve released final rules detailing the U.S. implementation of Basel III and the application of the risk-based and leverage capital rules to top-tier savings and loan holding companies. We have transitioned to the Basel III framework beginning in January 2015 and are subject to a phase-in period extending through 2018. Accordingly, the calculations provided below and on the previous page, are estimates. These measures are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures because they are not formally defined by GAAP and the Basel III implementation regulations. The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1, Total Capital and Leverage ratios will not be fully phased-in until January 1, 2018 and the Capital Conservation buffer will not be fully phased-in until January 1, 2019. The regulations are subject to change as clarifying guidance becomes available and the calculations currently include our interpretations of the requirements including informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Other entities may calculate the Basel III ratios differently from ours based on their interpretation of the guidelines. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess our capital adequacy using the Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors information enabling them to assess our capital adequacy on the same basis.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. ("Flagstar," or the "Company"), including its wholly owned principal subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), have been prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial statements. Where we say "we," "us," "our," the "Company" or "our,"Flagstar," we usually mean Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. However, in some cases, a reference to "we," "us," "our," the "Company" or "our""Flagstar" will include our wholly ownedwholly-owned subsidiary Flagstar Bank, FSB (the "Bank").

These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a full year presentation and certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These interim financial statements are unaudited and include, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, which is available on our website, at flagstar.com, and on the SEC website, at sec.gov. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Subsequent to March 31, 2017, we have entered into pending bulk sales of $195 million of mortgage servicing rights. The servicing of these loans will be retained on approximately 80 percent of the total MSR sale amount. We do not expect any material adverse impact to the Consolidated Statement of Operations resulting from these sales.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We determine the appropriate estimate of the allowance for loan lossesALLL on at least a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1 "Description- Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"Policies to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, for a description of the methodology. The all

owance for loan losses,ALLL, other than for loans that have

been identified for individual evaluation for impairment, is determined on a loan pool basis by grouping loan types with common risk characteristics to determine our best estimate of incurred losses.

(1)Includes loans 90 days or greater past due and performing nonaccrual loans that are less than 90 days past due, which have been placed on nonaccrual.due.
(2)Includes $12$3 million and $10$13 million of loans 90 days or greater past due, accounted for under the fair value option at September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively.

For all classes within the consumer and commercial loan portfolio, loansLoans are placed on nonaccrual statusconsidered to be past due when any portionpayment of principal or interest is 30 days past the scheduled payment date. While it is the goal of management to collect on loans, we attempt to work out a satisfactory repayment schedule or modification with past due borrowers and will undertake foreclosure proceedings if the delinquency is not satisfactorily resolved. Our practices regarding past due loans are designed to both assist borrowers in meeting their contractual obligations and minimize losses incurred by the bank.

We cease the accrual of interest on all classes of consumer and commercial loans once they become 90 days past due, (or are determinedor when doubt exists as to be impaired), or earlier when we become aware of information indicating thatthe ultimate collection of principal andor interest is in doubt.(classified as nonaccrual or nonperforming loans). When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued interest income is reversed. Loansreversed and may only return to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully collectible.

Interest income is recognized on nonaccrual loans using a cash basis method. Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans totaled $1 million and $2 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 and $1 million and $4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.March 31, 2016. At September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we had no loans 90 days past due and still accruing.accruing interest.


Troubled Debt Restructuring
    
We may modify certain loans in both our consumer and commercial loan portfolios to retain customers or to maximize collection of the outstanding loan balance. We have programs designed to assist borrowers by extending payment dates or reducing the borrower's contractual payments. All loan modifications are made on a case-by-case basis. Our standards relating to loan modifications consider, among other factors, minimum verified income requirements, cash flow analysis, and collateral valuations. TDRs result in those instances in which a borrower demonstrates financial difficulty and for which a concession has been granted, which includes reductions of interest rate, extensions of amortization period, principal and/or interest forgiveness and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. These loans are classified as nonperforming TDRs if the loan was nonperforming prior to the restructuring, or based upon the results of a contemporaneous credit evaluation. Such loans will continue on nonaccrual status until the borrower has established a willingness and ability to make the restructured payments for at least six months, after which they will be classified as performing TDRs and begin to accrue interest. Performing and nonperforming TDRs remain impaired as interest and principal will not be received in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, but may give rise to potential incremental losses. We measure impairments using a discounted cash flow method for performing TDRs and measure impairment based on collateral values for re-defaultednonperforming TDRs.

The following table provides a summary of TDR loansThere were no TDRs that were modified withinin the previous 12 months, which have subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to one residential first mortgage loan and four HELOC loans which subsequently defaulted during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2016, and 2015.with a UPB of less than $1 million. All TDR classes within the consumer and commercial loan portfolios are considered subsequently defaulted when they are greater than 90 days past due. There was no increase or decrease in the allowance associated with these TDRs at subsequent default. Subsequent default is defined as a payment re-defaulted within 12 months of the restructuring date.

Credit Quality

We utilize an internal risk rating system in accordance with the Rating Credit Risk booklet of the Comptroller's Handbook, April 2011 and the Uniform Retail Credit classification and Account Management Policy issued June 20, 2000 by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council ("FFIEC") which is applied to all consumer and commercial loans. Descriptions of our internal risk ratings as they relate to credit quality follow the ratings used by the U.S. bank regulatory agencies as listed below.

Pass. Pass assets are not impaired nor do they have any known deficiencies that could impact the quality of the asset.

Watch. Watch assets are defined as pass rated assets that exhibit elevated risk characteristics or other factors that deserve management’s close attention and increased monitoring. However, the asset does not exhibit a potential or well-defined weakness that would warrant a downgrade to criticized or adverse classification.

Special mention. Assets identified as special mention possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention. Special mention assets have a potential weakness or pose an unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the assets and increase risk in the future. Special mention assets are criticized, but do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard. Assets identified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. For HELOC loans and other consumer loans, we evaluate credit quality based on the aging and status of payment activity and any other known credit characteristics that call into question full repayment of the asset. Nonperforming loans are classified as either substandard, doubtful or loss.

Doubtful. An asset classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. A doubtful asset has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the asset, its classification as loss is deferred. Doubtful borrowers are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital, and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Pending events can include mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, capital injections, the perfection of liens on additional collateral, the valuation of collateral, and refinancing. Generally, pending events should be resolved within a relatively short period and the ratings will be adjusted based on the new information. Because of high probability of loss, non-accrual accounting treatment is required for doubtful assets.

Loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that an asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but, rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.


Commercial Loans

Management conducts periodic examinations which serve as an independent verification of the accuracy of the ratings assigned. Loan grades are based on different factors within the borrowing relationship: entity sales, debt service coverage, debt/total net worth, liquidity, balance sheet and income statement trends, management experience, business stability, financing structure, of the deal, and financial reporting requirements. The underlying collateral is also rated based on the specific type of collateral and corresponding loan-to-value ("LTV").LTV. The combination of the borrower and collateral risk ratings result in the final rating for the borrowing relationship.

Consumer Loans

The same rating principles are used for consumer and commercial loans, but the principles are applied differently for consumer loans. Consumer loans consist of open and closed end loans extended to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures, and includes consumer loans, and loans to individuals secured by their personal residence, including first mortgage, home equity, and home improvement loans. Because consumer loans are usually relatively small-balance, homogeneous exposures, consumer loans are rated primarily on payment performance. Payment performance is a proxy for the strength of repayment capacity and loans are generally classified based on their payment status rather than by an individual review of each loan.

In accordance with regulatory guidance, we assign risk ratings to consumer loans in the following manner:
Consumer loans are classified as Watch once the loan becomes 60 days past due.
Open and closed-end consumer loans 90 days or more past due are classified Substandard.

Note 5 - Loans with Government Guarantees
    
Substantially all loans with government guarantees are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA")FHA and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. FHA loans earn interest at a rate based upon the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rate at the time the underlying loan becomes delinquent, which is not paid by the FHA until claimed. Certain loans within our portfolio may be subject to indemnifications and insurance limits which exposes us to limited credit risk. We have reserved for these risks within other assets and as a component of our allowance for loan lossesALLL on residential first mortgages.

At September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, loans with government guarantees totaled $404$322 million and $485 million, respectively. $365 million.
At September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, respectively, repossessed assets and the associated claims recorded in other assets totaled $152$119 million and $210 million, respectively.$135 million.


Note 6 - Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

In 2015, we executed clean-up calls of the FSTAR 2005-1 and FSTAR 2006-2 long-term debt associated with the HELOC securitization trusts. As a result, the FSTAR 2005-1 and FSTAR 2006-2 HELOC securitization trusts were dissolved and weWe have no consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016.

We have a continuing involvement, but are not the primary beneficiary for one unconsolidated VIE related to the FSTAR 2007-1 mortgage securitization trust. In accordance with the settlement agreement with MBIA, Insurance Corporation ("MBIA"), there is no further recourse to us related to FSTAR 2007-1, unless MBIA fails to meet their obligations. At September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the FSTAR 2007-1 mortgage securitization trust included 2,6082,320 loans and 3,0612,453 loans, respectively, with an aggregate principal balance of $96$82 million and $117$89 million, respectively.

Note 7 - Mortgage Servicing Rights

We have investments in mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs")MSRs that result from the sale of loans to the secondary market for which we retain the servicing. The primary risk associated with MSRs is the potential reduction in fair value as a result of higher than anticipated prepayments due to loan refinancing prompted, in part, by declining interest rates or government intervention. Conversely, these assets generally increase in value in a rising interest rate environment to the extent that prepayments are slower than anticipated. We utilize derivatives as economic hedges to offset changes in the fair value of the MSRs resulting from the actual or anticipated changes in prepayments stemming from changing interest rate environments. There is also a risk of valuation decline due to higher than expected increases in default rates, which we do not believe can be effectively managed using derivatives. For further information, See Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated- Derivative Financial Statements, herein, for further informationInstruments, regarding the derivative instruments utilized to manage our MSR risks.


Changes in the carrying value of residential first mortgage MSRs, accounted for at fair value, were as follows:

The following table summarizes the hypothetical effect on the fair value of servicing rights carried at fair value using adverse changes of 10 percent and 20 percent to the weighted average of certain significant assumptions used in valuing these assets:assets. The significant assumptions used in the fair value measurement of the MSRs are option adjusted spread and prepayment rate. Significant increases (decreases) in both of these assumptions in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. To isolate the effect of the specified

change, the fair value shock analysis is consistent with the identified adverse change, while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, a change in one assumption generally impacts other assumptions, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change.

See Note 17 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for For further fair value disclosures relating to mortgage servicing rights.MSRs, see Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements.

Contractual servicing and subservicing fees. Contractual servicing and subservicing fees, including late fees and other ancillary income are presented below. Contractual servicing fees are included within net (loss) return on mortgage servicing rightsMSRs on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Contractual subservicing fees including late fees and other ancillary income are included within loan administration income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subservicing fee income is recorded for fees earned, net of third party subservicing costs, for loans subserviced.

Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition after taking into account the effects of legally enforceable bilateral collateral and master netting agreements. We are exposed to non-performance risk by the counterparties to our various derivative financial instruments. We believe that the non-performance risk inherent in all our derivative contracts is minimal based on credit standards and the collateral provisions of the derivative agreements. A majority of our derivatives are centrally cleared through a Central Counterparty Clearing House or consist of residential mortgage interest rate lock commitments further limiting our exposure to non-performance risk. We believe that the non-performance risk inherent in our remaining derivative contracts is minimal based on credit standards and the collateral provisions of the derivative agreements.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: We maintain a derivative portfolio of interest rate swaps, futures and forward commitments used to manage exposure to changes in interest rates, MSR asset values and to meet the needs of customers. We also enter into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. Market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held-for-saleLHFS is managed using corresponding forward sale commitments.


Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: We have designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of certain interest rate payments of our variable-rate Federal Home Loan BankFHLB advances.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the hedge transaction is recognized in earnings. At September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had $37$2 million (net-of-tax) recorded of unrealized lossesgains on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), compared to $3$1 million at December 31, 2015.2016. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months represents $7$4 million of losses (net-of-tax).

Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are assessed for effectiveness using regression analysis at inception and throughout the hedge period. All hedge relationships were and are expected to be highly effective as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. Cash flows and the profit impact associated with designated hedges are reported in the same category as the underlying hedged item.

Senior Notes

On July 11, 2016, we issued $250 million of senior notes (“2021 Senior Notes”) which mature on July 15, 2021. The proceeds from these notes were used to bring dividends current and redeem our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock. The notes are unsecured and rank equally and ratably with the unsecured senior indebtedness of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc.

Prior to June 15, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the remaining

scheduled payments discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 0.50 percent, plus, in each case accrued and unpaid interest.

Trust Preferred Securities

We sponsor nine trust subsidiaries, which issued preferred stock to third party investors. We issued trust preferred securities to those trusts, which we have included in long-term debt whichdebt. The trust preferred securities are the sole assets of thethose trusts.

The trust preferred securities are callable by us at any time. Interest is payable quarterly; however, we may defer interest payments for up to 20 quarters without default or penalty. In January 2012,As of March 31, 2017, we exercised our contractual rights to defer interest payments. On July 14, 2016, we ended the deferral and made a $34 million payment to bring current our previouslyhad no deferred interest as of that date.interest.

Note 10 - Representation and Warranty Reserve
    
At the time a loan is sold, an estimate of the fair value of the guarantee associated with the mortgage loans is recorded in the representation and warranty reserve in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition which reduces the net gain on loan sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the sale, the liability is re-measured on an ongoing basis based on an estimate of probable losses. Changes in the estimate are recorded in the representation and warranty provision (benefit)(provision) benefit on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table shows the activity impacting the representation and warranty reserve:

Note 11 - Warrants and Restricted Stock Units

May Investor Warrant

We granted warrants (the "May Investor Warrants") on January 30, 2009 under anti-dilution provisions applicable to certain investors (the "May Investors") in our May 2008 private placement capital raise.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, 32,721237,627 May Investor Warrants were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2017, resulting in the issuance of 21,068154,313 shares of Common Stock.

TheThere are no remaining May Investor Warrants do not meet the definitionoutstanding as of a contract that is indexedMarch 31, 2017.

At March 31, 2017, due to our own stock under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, theall remaining May Investor Warrants are classified as other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are measured at fair value. Warrant liabilities are valued using a Black Scholes model and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Significant observable inputs include share price, expected volatility, a risk free rate and an expected life. The warrants are accounted for under the equity method.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015,being exercised, the liability from May Investors Warrants amounted to $10 million and $8 million, respectively. Seezero. At December 31, 2016, the liability was $4 million. For further information, see Note 17 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for further recurring fair value disclosures.- Fair Value Measurements.

TARP Warrant

On January 30, 2009, in conjunction with the sale of 266,657 shares of Series C fixed rate cumulative non-convertible perpetual preferred stock ("Series C Preferred Stock"), for $267 million, we issued a warrant to purchase up to approximately 645,138 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $62.00 per share (the "Warrant") for $267 million..

The Warrant is exercisable through January 30, 2019 and remains outstanding subsequent tooutstanding.

Note 13 - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share, excluding dilution, is computed by dividing earnings availableapplicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that could then share in our earnings.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of common stock:

Under the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock the Company was ableelected to defer payments of dividends. We elected to defer dividend paymentspreferred stock dividends beginning with the February 2012 dividend. Although, while being deferred, the impact was not included in quarterly net income from continuing operations, the deferral still impacteddid impact net income applicable to common stock for the purpose of calculating earnings per share, as shown above. On July 29, 2016, we completed the previously announced $267 million redemption of our Series C Preferred Stock.

Note 14 - Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in interim periods requires us to make a best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimated effective tax rate is then applied to interim consolidated pre-tax operating income to determine the interim provision for income taxes.

Note 15 - Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Capital

We, along with the Bank, must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. On January 1, 2015, the Basel III rules became effective and include transition provisions through 2018.

To be categorized as "well-capitalized," the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum tangible capital, Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1, and total capital ratios as set forth in the table below. We, along with the Bank, are considered "well-capitalized" at both September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015. There have been no conditions or events that management believes have changed our or the Bank’s category.2016.

Note 16 - Legal Proceedings, Contingencies and Commitments

Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business operations. In addition, the Bank is routinely named in civil actions throughout the country by borrowers and former borrowers relating to the origination, purchase, sale, and servicing of mortgage loans. From time to time, governmental agencies also conduct investigations or examinations of various mortgage-related practices of the Bank. In the course of such investigations or examinations, the Bank cooperates with such agencies and provides information as requested.

We assess the liabilities and loss contingencies in connection with such pending or threatened legal and regulatory proceedings on at least a quarterly basis and establish accruals when we believe it is probable that a loss may be incurred and that the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, litigation accruals are adjusted, as appropriate, in light of additional information.

Management does not believe that the amount of any reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued with respect to ongoing proceedings or any other known claims will be material to our financial statements, or that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

DOJ litigation settlement

In 2012, the Bank entered into a Settlement Agreement with the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ")DOJ which meets the definition of a financial liability (the "DOJ Liability").

In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, we made an initial payment of $15 million and agreed to make future annual payments totaling $118 million. The Settlement Agreement provides that the Bank will make annual payments in increments of up to $25 million towards the $118 million still due upon meeting all conditions which are evaluated quarterly and include: (a) the reversal of the deferred tax assetDTA valuation allowance, which occurred at the end of 2013; (b) the repayment of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the "TARP Preferred"), which occurred in the currentthird quarter (or, in the absence of repayment, adjusting our Bank Tier 1 Capital Ratio for any unextinguished TARP Preferred);2016; (c) our Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio is 11 percent or more. Additionally, if the Bank and Bancorp become party to a business combination in which the Bank or Bancorp represent less than 33.3 percent of the resulting company’s assets, such annual payments must commence twelve months after the date of that business combination.

Within six months of satisfying the conditions specified above, the Bank would make an additional payment, to occur no more frequently than annually, provided that doing so would not violate any material banking regulatory requirement or the OCC does not object in writing. Consistent with our business and regulatory requirements, Flagstar shall seek in good faith to

fulfill the conditions, and will not undertake any conduct or fail to take any action the purpose of which is to frustrate or delay our ability to fulfill any of the above conditions.

We elected to account for the DOJ Liability under the fair value option. To determine the fair value, we utilize a discounted cash flow model. Key assumptions for the discounted cash flow model include using a discount rate as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 of 7.28.6 percent; probability weightings of multiple cash flow scenarios and possible outcomes which contemplate the above conditions and estimates of forecasted net income, size of the balance sheet, capital levels, dividends and their impact on the timing of cash payments and the assumptions we believe a market participant would make to transfer the liability. The fair value of the DOJ Liability was $60 million and $84 million at September 30, 2016both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The lower value resulted from a change in the expectation as to the timing of payments to the DOJ as a result of a $200 million dividend from the Bank to the Bancorp and the issuance of $250 million in Senior Notes, both of which occurred in July 2016, to a) bring current the interest payments on our trust preferred securities, b) become current on our deferred interest and dividends related to our TARP Preferred and c) repay our TARP Preferred. To support the on-going debt service and other Bancorp expenses, we also intend to reduce our Bancorp double leverage and debt to equity ratios to be more consistent with such ratios at other mid-sized banks, which would likely require further dividend payments from the Bank to the Bancorp for the foreseeable future.2016.    

Other litigation accruals

At September 30, 2016both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, excluding the fair value liability relating to the DOJ litigation settlement, our total accrual for contingent liabilities, and settled litigation and regulatory matters was $6 million and $2 million, respectively.$3 million.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. We evaluate each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us, upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparties.

We enter into mortgage interest-rate lock commitments with our customers. These commitments are considered to be derivative instruments and changes in the fair value of these commitments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in other assets. Further discussion on derivative instruments is included in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.

We have unfunded commitments under our contractual arrangement with the HELOC borrowers. Commitments to extend, originate or purchase credit are primarily lines of credit to consumers and have specified rates and maturity dates. Many of these commitments also have adverse change clauses, which allow us to cancel the commitment due to deterioration in the borrowers’ creditworthiness.


Other consumer commitments are conditional commitments issued to accommodate the financial needs of customers. The commitments are under various terms to lend funds to consumers, which include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements.

Warehouse loan commitments are lines of credit provided to mortgage originators to fund loans they originate and then sell. The proceeds of the sale of the loans are used to repay the draw on the line used to fund the loans.

Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and the third party.

Commercial and industrial and other commercial commitments are conditional commitments issued under various terms to lend funds to business and other entities. These commitments include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements. Many of these loan commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Our exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We utilize the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition established in the contract. The types of credit we extend are as follows:

Mortgage loan interest-rate lock commitments. We enter into mortgage interest-rate lock commitments with our customers. These commitments are considered to be derivative instruments and the fair value of these commitments is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in other assets. For further information, see Note 8 - Derivative Financial Instruments.

Warehouse loan commitments. Lines of credit provided to mortgage originators to fund loans they originate and then sell. The proceeds of the sale of the loans are used to repay the draw on the line used to fund the loans.

Commercial and industrial and other commercial commitments. Conditional commitments issued under various terms to lend funds to business and other entities. These commitments include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements. Many of these loan commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.

HELOC commitments. Commitments to extend, originate or purchase credit are primarily lines of credit to consumers and have specified rates and maturity dates. Many of these commitments also have adverse change clauses, which allow us to cancel the commitment due to deterioration in the borrowers’ creditworthiness and due to a decline in the collateral value.

Other consumer commitments. Conditional commitments issued to accommodate the financial needs of customers. The commitments are under various terms to lend funds to consumers, which include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements.

Standby and commercial letters of credit. Conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and the third party.


We maintain a reserve for the estimate of probable credit losses inherent in unfunded commitments to extend credit. Unfunded commitments to extend credit include unfunded loans with available balances, new commitments to lend that are not yet funded, and standby and commercial letters of credit. TheA reserve balance of $3 million, and $2 million for September 30, 2016at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015, respectively,2016, is reflected in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

As of March 31, 2017, we have made commitments to sell $65 million of our MSR assets with sub-servicing retained. These sales are expected to close in the second quarter of 2017.

Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements

We utilize fair value measurements to record or disclose the fair value on certain assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability through an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, we use present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments. These valuation models rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves or credit spreads. Unobservable inputs may be based on management's judgment, assumptions and estimates related to credit quality, our future earnings, interest rates and other relevant inputs. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used. Refer to Note 2422 - Fair Value Measurements to the consolidated financial statements of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016, for a description of our valuation methodologies and information about the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Hierarchy

U.S. GAAP establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The hierarchy is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process with the highest priority given to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs where no active market exists, as discussed below.

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets in which we can participate as of the measurement date;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Recurring Significant Unobservable Inputs

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the second mortgage loans are discount rates, constant prepayment rates, and default rates. The constant prepayment and default rates are based on a 12 month historical average. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in prepay rates in isolation result in a higher (lower) fair value and increases (decreases) in default rates in isolation result in a lower (higher) fair value.

The HELOC loans, formerly included in the FSTAR 2005-1 and FSTAR 2006-1 securitization trusts, are valued utilizing a loan-level discounted cash flow model which projects expected cash flows given three potential outcomes: (1) paid-in-full at scheduled maturity, (2) default at scheduled maturity (foreclosure), and (3) modification at scheduled maturity into an amortizing HELOC. Loans are placed into the potential outcome buckets based on their underlying current delinquency, FICO scores and property CLTV all of which are unobservable inputs. Estimated cash flows are then discounted back using an unobservable discount rate. Loans within the loan portfolios contain FICO scores with a minimum of 447,437, maximum of 816, 809,

and a weighted average of 665.650. For the loans, increases (decreases) in the discount rate, in isolation, would lower (higher) the fair value measurement.


The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the MSRs are option adjusted spreads, prepayment rates, and cost to service. Significant increases (decreases) in all three assumptions in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Additionally, the key economic assumptions used in determining the fair value of MSRs capitalized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 periods were as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,Three Months Ended March 31,

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the DOJ litigation settlement is the discount rate.rate and asset growth rate, in addition to those discussed in Note 16 - Legal Proceedings, Contingencies and Commitments. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate or asset growth rate in isolation could result in a marginally lower (higher) fair value measurement. For further information on the fair value inputs related to the DOJ litigation, see Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.- Legal Proceedings, Contingencies, and Commitments.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the rate lock commitments is the pull through rate. The pull through rate is a statistical analysis of our actual rate lock fallout history to determine the sensitivity of the residential mortgage loan pipeline compared to interest rate changes and other deterministic values. New market prices are applied based on updated loan characteristics and new fallout ratios (i.e., the inverse of the pull through rate) are applied accordingly. Significant increases (decreases) in the pull through rate in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
    
We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are measured at the lower of cost or market and had a fair value below cost at the end of the period as summarized below:

The methods and assumptions used by us in estimating fair value of financial instruments which are required for disclosure only, are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
    
Investment securities held-to-maturity. Fair values are generated using market inputs, where possible, including quoted prices (the closing price in an exchange market), bid prices (the price at which a buyer stands ready to purchase), and other market information.

Loans held-for-investment. The fair value is estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models using market interest rate inputs as well as management’s best estimate of spreads for similar collateral.

Loans with government guarantees. The fair value is estimated by using internally developed discounted cash flow models using market interest rate inputs as well as management’s best estimate of spreads for similar collateral.

Loans held-for-investment. The fair value is estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models using market interest rate inputs as well as management’s best estimate of spreads for similar collateral.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock. No secondary market exists for Federal Home Loan BankFHLB stock. The stock is bought and sold at par by the Federal Home Loan Bank.FHLB. Management believes that the recorded value equals the fair value.

Bank owned life insurance. The fair value of bank owned life insurance policies is based on the cash surrender values of the policies as reported by the insurance companies.

Other assets, foreclosure claims. The fair value of foreclosure claims with government guarantees approximates the carrying amount.

Deposit accounts. The fair value of deposits with no defined maturity is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current market rates for similar products and expected attrition. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.
    
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of the existing debt.

Long-term debt. The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Fair Value Option

We elected the fair value option for certain items as discussed throughout the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to mitigate a divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure. Interest income on loans held-for-saleLHFS is accrued on the principal outstanding primarily using the "simple-interest" method.

The following table reflects the change in fair value included in earnings of financial instruments for which the fair value option has been elected:

Note 18 - Segment Information

Our operations are conducted through fourthree operating segments: Community Banking, Mortgage Originations, and
Mortgage Servicing, Community Banking andServicing. The Other whichsegment includes the remaining reported activities. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activity from which revenues are earned and expenses incurred for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The operating segments have been determined based on the products and services offered and reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Each segment operates under the same banking charter, but is reported on a segmented basis for this report. Each of the operating segments is complementary to each other and because of the interrelationships of the segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.

Effective January 1, 2016,2017, activity related to Loans with Government Guarantees, was moved from the Mortgage Servicing segment to the Mortgage Originations segment and we reorganized our reportablebegan to allocate the tax provision at a segment level. Prior to this change, the tax provision was reflected in the Other segment. The statutory federal tax rate is used for Community Banking, Mortgage Originations, and Mortgage Servicing segments to align with our new management reporting structurethe difference between the statutory rate and to align with our long-term strategy.the effective tax rate held in the Other segment. Prior period segment financial information, related to both changes, has been recast to conform to the current presentation. Prior

companies, where the net interest income and the gains from sales associated with these loans are recognized in the Mortgage Originations segment.

The Mortgage Servicing segment services and sub-servicessubservices mortgage loans, on a fee basis, for others. Also, the Mortgage Servicing segment services, on a fee basis, residential LHFI mortgages held-for-investmentheld by the Community Banking segment and mortgage servicing rightsMSRs held by the Mortgage Originations segment. The Mortgage Servicing segment may also collect ancillary fees, such as late fees, and earns income through the use of noninterest-bearing escrows.


The Community Banking segment originates loans, provides deposits and fee based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers through its Branch Banking, Business Banking and Commercial Banking, Government Banking, Warehouse Lending and Held-for-Investment Portfolio groups. Products offered through these teams include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, consumer loans, commercial loans, home builder finance loans and warehouse lines of credit.

The Other segment includes the treasury functions, funding revenue associated with stockholders' equity, the impact of interest rate risk management, the impact of balance sheet funding activities, and miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature. Treasury functions include administering the investment securities portfolios, balance sheet funding, and interest rate risk management. In addition, the Other segment includes revenue and expenses related to treasury and corporate assets and liabilities and equity not directly assigned or allocated to the Mortgage Originations, Mortgage Servicing or Community Banking operating segments.
    
Revenues are comprised of net interest income (before the provision (benefit) for loan losses) and noninterest income. Noninterest expenses are fully allocated to each operating segment. Allocation methodologies may be subject to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is revised and the business or product lines within the segments change.

This amendment addresses eight issues which current GAAP does not include specific guidance or is unclear, pertaining to: Debt Prepayment or Debt Extinguishment Costs, Settlement of Zero-Coupon Debt Instruments, Contingent Consideration Payments Made after a Business Combination, Proceeds from the Settlement of Insurance Claims, Proceeds from the Settlement of Corporate-Owned or Bank-Owned Life Insurance Policies, Distributions Received from Equity Method Investees, Beneficial Interest in Securitization Transactions, and Separately Identifiable Cash Flows and Application of the Predominance Principle. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect this guidance to havehad a material impact onto our Consolidated Financial Statements.financial statements:

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

The following ASUs have been issued and are expected to result in a significant change to our significant accounting policies and/or have a significant financial impact:
Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU alters the current method for recognizing credit losses within the reserve account. Currently, an institution uses the incurred loss method, the new guidance will require the allowancerequires financial assets to be recordedpresented at the net amount expected to be collected (i.e., net of expected credit losses). The measurement of expected credit losses should be based on day one forrelevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the contractual termcollectability of the financial asset.reported amount. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. ManagementWe have established an internal steering committee to lead the implementation efforts. The steering committee is in the process of evaluating control and process framework, data, model, and resource requirements and areas where modifications will be required. We are currently evaluating this guidance and the impact itadoption of the guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements, but highlight that any impact will be contingent upon the underlying characteristics of the affected portfolio and macroeconomic and internal forecasts at adoption date.

Stock Compensation - In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2016-09 affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.


Derivatives and Hedging - In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The amendments in ASU 2016-06 clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in ASU 2016-06 is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. ASU 2016-06 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements, but disclosures to the Notes thereto will be updated per the requirements.
Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Section A - Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Section B - Conforming Amendments Related to Leases: Amendment to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Section C - Background Information and Basis For Conclusions. Lessees will need to recognize almostsubstantially all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 20192018 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes Topic 840, Leases. Management is currently evaluating this guidanceUpon adoption and doesimplementation, we expect to gross up assets and liabilities due to the recognition of lease liabilities and right of use assets associated with the underlying lease contracts. While we do not expect thisthe adoption of the guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financial Instruments - In January 2016,Statements of Operations given our current inventory of leases, review is ongoing and we will continue to evaluate the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurementimpact to the Consolidated Statements of Financial AssetsCondition and Financial Liabilities. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, if any.capital.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." Under the amended guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has voted to approve a year deferral of the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption.2018. In April 2016, the FASB clarified the following two aspects: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, to provide a limited number of changes to its revenue recognition standard. The amendments clarify the assessment of the likelihood that revenue will be collected from a contract, the guidance for presenting sales taxes and similar taxes, and the timing for measuring customer payments that are not in cash. The amendment also saysspecifies that a contract should be considered complete if all, or substantially all, of its revenue has been collected prior to making the transition to the new standard. In addition, the update clarifies the disclosure requirements for businesses and other organizations that make the transition to the new standard by adjusting amounts from prior reporting periods. The effects haveIn December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20 Technical Corrections and Improvement to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We expect to implement the revenue recognition guidance in the first quarter of 2018 utilizing the cumulative-effect approach. Our implementation of the guidance will include creation of an inventory of revenue contracts and assessing whether the recognition of revenue associated with each contract will be disclosed for prior periods that were adjusted. Management is currently evaluatingimpacted by the new guidance, particularly related to certain fees. Lease contracts and financial instruments, which include loans and securities, are excluded from the scope of this guidance and doesstandard. Therefore, we do not expect thisanticipate the implementation of the revenue recognition guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however, changes to disclosures in the Notes thereto will be required.

General

We are a Michigan-based savings and loan holding company founded in 1993. Our business is primarily conducted through our principal subsidiary, the Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank founded in 1987. At September 30, 2016, based on our assets, we are one of the largest banks headquartered in Michigan, providing commercial, small business, and consumer banking services. We have three major operating segments: Community Banking, Mortgage Originations, and Mortgage Servicing. Through these lines of business, we emphasize the delivery of a complete set of mortgage and banking products and services and are distinguished by local delivery, customer service and product pricing. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "FBC." We are considered a controlled company for NYSE purposes, because MP Thrift Investments, L.P. ("MP Thrift") held approximately 62.9 percent of our common stock as of September 30, 2016.

Effective January 1, 2016, we reorganized our reportable segments to align with our new management reporting structure and to align with our long-term strategy. Prior period segment financial information has been recast to conform to 2016 presentation. Prior to the reorganization, representation and warranty reserves were reported in the Mortgage Servicing segment and the MSR asset and associated costs were reported in the Other segment. As a result of this change, representation and warranty reserves, as well as the MSR asset and associated costs are now reported in the Mortgage Originations segment.
Our Community Banking segment provides deposits and fee based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers through our Branch Banking, Business Banking, Commercial Banking, Government Banking, Warehouse Lending and Held-for-Investment Portfolio groups. We maintain a portfolio of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and builder finance loans with our commercial customers and we originate or purchase residential mortgage loans through referrals from our branches, consumer direct call center and our website, flagstar.com. At September 30, 2016, we operated 99 branches in Michigan. We leverage the customer relationships we have gained throughout our branch network to cross-sell products to existing customers and increase our customer base. In 2016, we also began to offer new MSR lending and equipment finance lease products.

Through our Mortgage Origination segment, we originate or purchase residential mortgage loans throughout the country and sell them into securitization pools, primarily to Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") (collectively, the "Agencies") or as whole loans. In addition, we originate or purchase residential first mortgage loans and other consumer loans, and commercial loans to our held-for-investment loan portfolios. Our revenues include net interest income, income from banking services we provide to customers, and noninterest income from sales of residential first mortgage loans to the Agencies, and the servicing of loans for others. The combination of our retail, broker and correspondent channels gives us broad access to customers across diverse geographies to originate, fulfill, sell and service our residential mortgage loan products.

The majority of our total loan originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 represented mortgage loans that were collateralized by residential first mortgages on single-family residences and were eligible for sale to the Agencies. At September 30, 2016, we originated or purchased residential mortgage loans in all 50 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia through relationships with 556 mortgage brokers and 729 correspondents. At September 30, 2016, we also operated 31 retail locations located in 21 states, which primarily originate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans as part of our Mortgage Originations segment. In addition, we originate other consumer and commercial loans through our Community Banking segment. We continue to expand existing business lines, such as our distributed retail and direct-to-consumer mortgage origination businesses.

Our Mortgage Servicing segment services and subservices mortgage loans for others on a fee for service basis and may also collect ancillary fees, such as late fees and earn income through the use of noninterest bearing escrows. Revenue on our subserviced loans is earned on a contractual fee basis, with the fees varying based on the status of the underlying loans.

At September 30, 2016, we had 2,881 full-time equivalent employees inclusive of account executives and loan officers.

Critical Accounting Policies

Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Certain accounting policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions in those policies are critical to an understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements, in Item 1. Financial Statements herein. These policies relate to: (a) fair value measurements; (b) the determination of our allowance for loan losses; (c) the

accounting for income taxes; and (d) the determination of our representation and warranty reserve. We believe the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes, in Item 1, are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes, in Item 1, herein, to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations and/or financial condition. For further information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is available on our website, flagstar.com, under the Investor Relations section, or on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission, at sec.gov.

Our net income increased $10 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $28 million improvement in noninterest income, driven by higher net gain on loan sales, while a decrease in fair value of the DOJ settlement liability was offset by higher loss on mortgage servicing rights. The noninterest income improvement was primarily offset by higher performance driven expenses and provision for income taxes.

Net income increased $18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily driven by a $25 million increase in net interest income and $16 million increase in noninterest income partially offset by higher performance driven expenses and a lower benefit for loan losses. Net interest income increased as a result of asset growth and our strategic initiative to replace lower credit quality assets with higher quality residential and commercial loans. As a result of this initiative, we grew average interest earning assets by 19 percent from $10.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $11.9 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Within noninterest income, net gain on loan sales increased $17 million while a decrease in fair value of the DOJ settlement liability was offset by a higher loss on mortgage servicing rights driven by low interest rates which result in higher prepayments and a more competitive market.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Net interest income increased $7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to growth in interest earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin driven by a lower interest rate environment.

Our net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 2.58 percent, compared to 2.75 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease from 2015 was driven primarily by higher interest rates on fixed rate long term debt used to match-fund our longer duration asset growth and increased interest expense on senior debt issued in conjunction with the TARP redemption.

Interest income increased $15 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily driven by higher average loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment partially offset by lower interest rates on loans held-for-sale. Average loans held-for-sale increased $1.2 billion or 55.3 percent compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to slower deliveries of saleable mortgage loans to the Agencies during the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. Average loans held-for-investment for the three months ended September 30, 2016, increased $0.4 billion or 8.1 percent, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. This was primarily due to a continued shift in mix, consistent with our strategy, of $1.3 billion in average balance of high quality, higher yielding commercial loans and corresponding decrease of $0.8 billion in average balance of primarily lower yielding residential first mortgage loans.

Interest expense increased $8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily driven by higher interest rates from longer term fixed rate debt taken to match-fund our longer duration asset growth and interest expense as a result of the senior debt issued in conjunction with the TARP redemption. Also impacting the increase was a $383 million increase in interest-bearing deposits driven by growth in deposits which has been used to fund our loan growth.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Net interest income increased $25 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily driven by continued growth in interest earning assets partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin driven by a lower interest rate environment and issuance of senior debt used for TARP redemption.

Our net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 2.62 percent, compared to 2.76 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was driven by higher interest rates from longer term fixed rate debt taken to match-fund our longer duration asset growth, interest expense on senior debt issued for TARP redemption and lower interest rate environment experience in 2016, partially offset from a rotation of lower spread residential mortgage loans into higher spread commercial loans.

Interest income increased $46 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily driven by higher average loans held-for-sale and loans held-for-investment partially offset by lower interest rates. Average loans held-for-sale increased $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to an increase in average volume, partially offset by a decrease in average yield resulting from a more competitive pricing market. Average loans held-for-investment increased $0.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to growth in warehouse, commercial and HELOC loans, partially offset by a decrease in average yield from more competitive pricing in the residential and consumer markets.
Interest expense increased $21 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, primarily driven by an increase in the average balance and higher rates on debt to match-fund our longer duration asset growth. Also impacting the increase was a $4 million increase due to $372 million higher average interest-bearing deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the same period in 2015 and a $4 million increase in interest expense as a result of the senior debt issued in conjunction with the TARP redemption.  

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following tables present the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that are presented in the preceding table. The table below distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume while holding the initial rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rates while holding the initial balance constant). The rate/volume variances are allocated to variances due to rate.

Provision (Benefit) for Loan Losses

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The provision (benefit) for loan losses was a provision of $7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a benefit of $1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the $7 million provision was largely to reserve for repossessed loans with government guarantees. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the benefit for loan losses included charge-offs of $24 million and net originations of $5 million offset by a release of reserves of $30 million related to loan sales.
Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased to $7 million, compared to $24 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, net charge-offs included $6 million and zero of net charge-offs associated with loans with government guarantees, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, net charge-offs included $16 million associated with the sale or transfer of $233 million unpaid principal balance of interest-only and non-agency loans. As a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment, net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased to 0.51 percent from 1.84 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Excluding the charge-offs associated with loan sales or transfers and loans with government guarantees, net charge-offs as a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment were 0.15 percent during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 0.61 percent during the three months ended September 30, 2015.


Comparison to Prior Year to Date

The provision (benefit) for loan losses was a benefit of $9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to an $18 million benefit during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The $9 million benefit resulted primarily from the sale of $1.2 billion unpaid principal balance of performing residential first mortgage loans and $110 million of unpaid principal balance of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the provision (benefit) for loan losses included a net reduction in the allowance for loan losses relating to several loan sales, including a net reduction in the allowance relating to interest-only residential first mortgage loans, partially offset by an increase related to the growth in average loans held-for-investment loan portfolio.

Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased to $28 million, compared to $82 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net charge-offs included $8 million associated with the sale of $110 million unpaid principal balance of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency loans and $13 million of net charge-offs associated with loans with government guarantees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net charge-offs included $67 million associated with the sale or transfer of interest-only residential first mortgage loans with unpaid principal balances totaling $600 million, along with $420 million of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency first mortgage loans. As a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment, net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 decreased to 0.66 percent from 2.34 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Excluding the charge-offs associated with loan sales or transfers and loans with government guarantees, net charge-offs as a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment were 0.15 percent during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 0.43 percent during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Total noninterest income was $156 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, which was a $28 million increase from $128 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Net gain on loan sales increased $26 million to $94 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $68 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher fallout-adjusted locks which increased to $8.3 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $6.5 billion in the three months ended September 30, 2015 driven by a low interest rate environment in the third quarter of 2016. The fallout-adjusted net margin on mortgage rate lock commitments, excluding loans held-for-investment, increased 8 basis points to 1.13 percent during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 1.05 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
For the three months ended September 30, 2016, loan fees and charges increased $5 million to $22 million, as compared to $17 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase in loan fees and charges during the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily reflects higher mortgage loan closings.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, loan administration income decreased $4 million to $4 million, as compared to $8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in fees charged on loans serviced for others.

Net loss on mortgage servicing rights was $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a return of $12 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The $23 million decrease was primarily due to higher prepayments and higher prepayment assumptions resulting in changes in fair value related to sales including a $7 million change associated with pending MSR sales with a fair value of $50 million expected to close in the fourth quarter 2016.
Other noninterest income increased $27 million to $36 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was almost entirely due to a $24 million reduction in the fair value of the Company's DOJ settlement liability. The reduction of the DOJ liability was a result of a change in the expectation as to the timing of payments.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Total noninterest income was $389 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which was a $16 million increase from $373 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net gain on loan sales increased $17 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to higher fallout-adjusted lock volume and a $14 million gain resulting from the sale of performing loans held-for-investment, partially offset by lower margin. The fallout-adjusted net margin on mortgage rate lock commitments, excluding loans held-for-investment decreased 13 basis points to 1.05 percent during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 1.18 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Loan fees and charges increased $3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $56 million, as compared to $53 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase is primarily due to higher mortgage loan closings.

Loan administration income decreased $5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 to $14 million, as compared to $19 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in fee revenue from loans subserviced for others.
Net loss on mortgage servicing rights was $21 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a return of $19 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The $40 million decrease was primarily due to higher prepayments and a decrease in fair value driven by pending MSR sales.

Other noninterest income increased $45 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to the benefit related to the decrease in the fair value of the DOJ settlement liability, gain on sale of available-for-sale investment securities and income earned on our bank owned life insurance whose average balances increased along with lower adjustments related to assets and liabilities held at fair value.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Noninterest expense increased $11 million to $142 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $131 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily driven by investment in new strategic initiatives, higher stock compensation expense and increased business activity, primarily offset by a decrease in legal and professional expense.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Noninterest expense was $418 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and $407 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a $25 million increase in compensation and benefits, and $9 million in commissions driven by investment in new strategic initiatives, higher stock compensation expense and increased business activity. This increase was partially offset by a $9 million decrease in federal insurance premiums due to an improvement in our risk profile along with a $7 million decrease in asset resolution expense primarily due to a decrease in default servicing and foreclosure costs and a $7 million decrease in legal and professional expense.

Other noninterest expense decreased $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily driven by lower litigation settlement expenses. Additionally, in the second quarter 2016, we had a litigation settlement expense of $6 million related to the settlement of a class action lawsuit during the period which was offset by a favorable settlement with a vendor for which we were the plaintiff.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $30 million and $73 million, respectively, compared to a provision of $24 million and $70 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 34.3 percent and 33.8 percent, respectively, compared to 34.4 percent and 36.0 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The effective rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 differs from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to benefits associated with state tax settlements and non-taxable bank owned life insurance earnings, partially offset by an increase in warrant expense and other nondeductible expenses.

For further information relating to income taxes, see Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.


OPERATING SEGMENTS

Overview

For detail on each segment's objectives, strategies, and priorities, please read this section in conjunction with Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for a full understanding of our consolidated financial performance.

Effective January 1, 2016, we reorganized our reportable segments to align with our new management reporting structure and to align with our long-term strategy. All prior periods were reclassified to be consistent with the current presentation. Prior to the reorganization, representation and warranty reserves were reported in the Mortgage Servicing segment and the MSR asset and associated costs were reported in the Other segment. As a result of this change, representation and warranty reserves, as well as the MSR asset and associated costs are now reported in the Mortgage Originations segment.

The net income (loss) by operating segment is presented in the following table:

Mortgage Originations

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The Mortgage Originations segment net income decreased $5 million to $60 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $65 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $23 million lower net return on MSRs resulting from increased runoff related to lower interest rates, primarily offset by a $24 million increase in net gain on loan sales resulting from a $1.5 billion increase in fallout-adjusted locks and a higher margin.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

The Mortgage Originations segment reported net income of $155 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to net income of $204 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily driven by $40 million lower net return on MSRs resulting from increased runoff related to lower interest rates and increased expectations for prepayments, as well as $7 million higher commissions related to higher mortgage originations.

Mortgage Servicing

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The Mortgage Servicing segment reported a net loss of $4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a net loss of $10 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The $6 million improvement was primarily due to a $6 million increase in interest income on company controlled deposits as a result of higher average balances and a decrease in loan processing expense.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

The Mortgage Servicing segment reported a net loss of $16 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to a net loss of $42 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The $26 million improvement was primarily due to $13 million increase in interest income on company controlled deposits resulting from higher average balances, a $6 million decrease in asset resolution expense and a decrease in loan processing expense.


Community Banking

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Community Banking segment reported net income of $10 million, compared to $13 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The $3 million decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase of $10 million in net interest income due to growth in warehouse, commercial, and home builder finance loan balances, partially offset by a higher provision expense on higher loan balances and charge-offs.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Community Banking segment reported net income of $52 million, compared to $29 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The $23 million increase in net income was primarily due to a $24 million increase in net interest income resulting from growth in our warehouse, commercial, and home builder finance loan balances. In addition, we had a net gain on loan sales of $21 million which was primarily driven by the sale of performing residential first mortgage loans out of the held-for-investment portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These increases were primarily offset by a $15 million increase in other noninterest expenses and a $9 million increase in provision for loan losses.

Other

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Other segment net loss was $9 million, as compared to a net loss of $21 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The $12 million improvement was primarily due to an increase in noninterest income due to a $24 million decrease in the fair value of the DOJ settlement liability, partially offset by an increase in interest expenses on higher average outstanding FHLB advances and senior debt issued for TARP redemption.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Other segment net loss was $48 million compared to $66 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The $18 million improvement was primarily due to an increase in noninterest income due to a $24 million decrease in the fair value of the DOJ settlement liability, primarily offset by higher average outstanding FHLB advances and senior debt issued for TARP redemption.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Like all financial services companies, we engage in certain business activities and assume the related risks. The risks we are subject to, in the normal course of business, include, but are not limited to, credit, regulatory compliance, legal, reputation, liquidity, market, operational and strategic. Our risk management activities are focused on ensuring we properly identify, measure, and manage such risks across the entire enterprise to maintain safety and soundness and maximize profitability. We hold capital to protect from the risk of unexpected loss.

A comprehensive discussion of risk management and capital matters affecting us can be found in the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Some of the more significant processes used to manage and control credit, liquidity, market, operational and capital risks are described in the following paragraphs.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss to us arising from an obligor’s inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. Like other financial services institutions, we make loans, extend credit, purchase securities, and enter into financial derivative contracts, all of which have related credit risk. The majority of our credit risk is associated with lending activities, as the acceptance and management of credit risk is central to profitable lending.


Mortgage Originations

Our Mortgage Originations segment originates, acquires and sells one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. We sell substantially all of the residential mortgage loans we produce into the secondary market on a whole loan basis or securitizing the loans into mortgage-backed securities with the Agencies. We utilize production channels to originate or acquire mortgage loans and each production channel originates mortgage loan products which are underwritten to the same standards. We expect to continue to leverage technology to streamline the mortgage origination process, thereby bringing service and convenience to brokers and correspondents. We also continue to make available to our customers various web-based tools that facilitate the mortgage loan origination process through each of our production channels. Brokers and correspondents are able to register and lock loans, check the status of inventory, deliver documents in electronic format, generate closing documents, and request funds through the Internet. Funding for our Mortgage Originations segment is provided primarily by deposits held in our Community Banking segment and borrowings.

Correspondent. In a correspondent transaction, an unaffiliated bank or mortgage company completes the loan paperwork and also supplies the funding for the loan at closing. After the bank or mortgage company has funded the transaction, we purchase the loan at a market price. We perform a full review of each loan, whether purchased in bulk or not, purchasing only those that were originated in accordance with our underwriting guidelines. We have active correspondent relationships with 729 companies, including banks, credit unions and mortgage companies located in all 50 states.

Broker. In a broker transaction, an unaffiliated bank or mortgage brokerage company completes several steps of the loan origination process including the loan paperwork, but the loans are underwritten on a loan-level basis to our underwriting standards and we supply the funding for the loan at closing (also known as "table funding") thereby becoming the lender of record. Currently, we have active broker relationships with 556 mortgage brokers, credit unions and mortgage brokerage companies located in all 50 states.

Retail. Our retail channel combines two business lines, home lending and direct-to-consumer. In a home lending transaction, loans are originated through our nationwide network of stand-alone home loan centers. At September 30, 2016, we maintained 31 retail locations in 21 states. In a direct-to-consumer lending transaction, loans are originated through our Community Banking segment banking centers and from a national direct-to-consumer call center. When loans are originated on a retail basis, most aspects of the lending process are completed internally, including the origination documentation (inclusive of customer disclosures), as well as the funding of the transactions. Our centralized loan processing provides efficiencies and allows lending sales staff to focus on originations.

We are a leading national originator of mortgage loans based on our residential first mortgage loan originations. The following tables disclose residential first mortgage loan originations by channel, type and mix for each respective period:

Mortgage Servicing

The Mortgage Servicing segment services and subservices mortgage loans for others on a fee for service basis and may also collect ancillary fees and earn income through the use of noninterest bearing escrows. The Mortgage Servicing segment services residential mortgages for our own held-for-investment loan portfolio in the Community Banking segment for which it earns revenue via an intercompany service fee allocation. The segment also services and subservices loans for others, which primarily includes servicing Agency loans. Revenue for those serviced and subserviced loans is earned on a contractual fee basis, with the fees varying based on our responsibilities and the status of the underlying loans.

The following table presents the unpaid principal balance (net of write downs) of residential loans serviced and the number of accounts associated with those loans. We are a top 25 mortgage servicer in the nation.

Loans held-for-investment

Loans held-for-investment decreased from $6.4 billion at December 31, 2015, to $6.3 billion at September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in performing residential first mortgage loans from loan sales of $1.2 billion unpaid principal balance resulting from a change in management's intent, partially offset by an increase in our higher spread, relationship-based commercial loan portfolio.

For further information relating to the concentration of credit of our loans held-for-investment, see Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.

Residential first mortgage loans. We originate or purchase various types of conforming and non-conforming fixed and adjustable rate loans underwritten using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing owner occupied and second home properties. The LTV requirements vary depending on occupancy, property type, loan amount, and FICO. Loans with LTVs exceeding 80 percent are required to obtain mortgage insurance.

At September 30, 2016, the largest geographic concentrations of our residential first mortgage loans in our held-for-investment portfolio were in California, Michigan and Florida, which represented 54.3 percent of such loans outstanding.

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans held-for-investment were originated using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines as a base framework, and the debt-to-income ratio guidelines and documentation typically followed the automated underwriting system guidelines. Our underwriting guidelines were designed with the intent to minimize layered risk. The maximum ratios allowable for purposes of both the LTV ratio and the combined loan-to-value ("CLTV") ratio, which includes second mortgages on the same collateral, was 95 percent, but subordinate (or second mortgage) financing was not allowed over a 95 percent LTV ratio. At a 95 percent LTV ratio with private mortgage insurance, the minimum acceptable FICO score, or the "floor," was 620, and at lower LTV ratio levels, the FICO floor was also 620.
Set forth below as of September 30, 2016, are the amounts of the ARM loans in our held-for-investment loan portfolio with interest rate reset dates in the periods noted. As noted in the above table, loans may reset more than once over a three-year period and nonperforming loans do not reset while in the nonperforming status. Accordingly, the table below may include the same loans in more than one period. In addition, the table below excludes purchased loan portfolios.

Second mortgage loans. The majority of second mortgages we currently originate are closed in conjunction with the closing of the residential first mortgages originated by us. We generally require the same levels of documentation and ratios as with our residential first mortgages. Our current allowable debt-to-income ratio for approval of second mortgages is capped at 43 percent. We currently limit the maximum CLTV to 80 percent and FICO scores to a minimum of 680. Current fixed rate loans are available with terms up to 15 years. The second mortgage loans require full documentation and are underwritten and priced to ensure high credit quality and loan profitability.

Home Equity Line of Credit loans. Underwriting guidelines for our HELOC originations have been established to attract higher credit quality loans with long-term profitability. The minimum FICO is 680, maximum CLTV up to 89 percent, and the maximum debt-to-income ratio is 43 percent. HELOCs are adjustable-rate loans that generally contain a 10-year interest-only draw period followed by a 20-year amortizing period. We also offer HELOC loans for a term period of five to 15 years to repay. The minimum FICO is 680, maximum CLTV up to 89 percent, and the maximum debt-to-income ratio is 43 percent. Included in HELOC loans are interest-only loans. At September 30, 2016, the unpaid principal balance of our interest-only mortgage loans was $70 million.
Commercial loans held-for-investment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we have continued to grow our longer term commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. Our Business and Commercial Banking group includes relationships with relationship managers primarily throughout Michigan's major markets. Our commercial loans held-for-investment totaled $3.7 billion at September 30, 2016 and $2.7 billion at December 31, 2015. The portfolio consists of three loan types: commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and warehouse loans, each of which is discussed in more detail below.

The following table identifies the commercial loans held-for-investment portfolio by loan type and selected criteria at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Commercial real estate loans. Our commercial real estate held-for-investment loan portfolio is comprised of loans that are collateralized by real estate properties intended to be income-producing in the normal course of business. This portfolio also includes owner occupied real estate loans, in addition to secured home builder loans.

Commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial held-for-investment loan facilities typically include lines of credit and term loans to small and middle market businesses for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases, and expansion projects. Most of our commercial and industrial loans earn interest at a variable rate and we offer our customers the ability to enter into interest rate swaps for which we offset our risk by entering into offsetting market trades.
Warehouse lending. We also offer warehouse lines of credit to other mortgage lenders. These allow the lender to fund the closing of residential first mortgage loans. Each extension or draw-down on the line is collateralized by mortgage loans being funded and is paid off once the underlying loan is sold to an outside investor which may be ourselves. Underlying mortgage loans are predominately originated using the agencies' underwriting standards. We believe we are increasing market share in the warehouse lending market through our strategic initiative to increase lending to customers who originate loans they then sell to outside third party investors. The aggregate committed amount of adjustable rate warehouse lines of credit granted to other mortgage lenders at September 30, 2016 was $2.7 billion, of which $1.8 billion was outstanding, compared to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2015, of which $1.3 billion was outstanding.
Credit Quality

Management considers a number of qualitative and quantitative factors in assessing the level of our allowance for loan losses. See the section captioned "Allowance for Loan Losses" in this discussion. As illustrated in the following tables, trends in certain credit quality characteristics such as nonperforming loans and past due statistics continue to show improvement. This is predominantly a result of the nonperforming and TDR loan sales, as well as run off of the legacy portfolios and the addition of new loans with strong credit characteristics to the held-for-investment portfolio.Statements.

Past due loans held-for-investment

For all portfolios within the consumer and commercial loan portfolio, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due (or nonperforming), or earlier when we become aware of information indicating that collection of principal and interest is in doubt. While it is the goal of management to collect on loans, we attempt to work out a satisfactory repayment schedule or modification with past due borrowers and will undertake foreclosure proceedings if the delinquency is not satisfactorily resolved. Our practices regarding past due loans are designed to both assist borrowers in meeting their contractual obligations and minimize losses incurred by the Bank. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued interest income is reversed. Loans return to accrual status when principal and interest become currentASUs have been issued and are anticipated to be fully collectible. At September 30, 2016, we had $48 million of past due loans held-for-investment. Of those past due loans, $40 million were nonperforming. At December 31, 2015, we had $80 million of past due loans held-for-investment. Of those past due loans, $66 million were nonperforming. The decrease from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 was primarily due to improved asset quality and the sale of nonperforming residential first mortgage loans.

Consumer loans. As of September 30, 2016, nonperforming consumer loans decreased from December 31, 2015, primarily due to the sale of nonperforming residential first mortgage loans. Net charge-offs in consumer loans totaled $7 million and $28 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $21 million and $81 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, primarily due to the charge-offs of $8 million and $67 million related to the sale or transfer of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

Commercial loans. As of September 30, 2016, there were no nonperforming commercial loans, compared to $2 million at December 31, 2015. There were no net charge-offs in commercial loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to recoveries of $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

The $32 million decrease in total past due loans at September 30, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015 was primarily due to improved asset quality coupled with the sale of $20 million of nonperforming residential first mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The 30 to 59 days past due loans decreased to $6 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $10 million at December 31, 2015, primarily driven by improved asset quality.

(2)Commercial loans include: commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and warehouse loans.
Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are modified loans in which a borrower demonstrates financial difficulties and for which a concession has been granted. The decrease of $48 million in our total TDR loans at September 30, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015 was primarily due to the sale of TDR loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Nonperforming TDRs were 42.5 percent and 53.4 percent of total nonperforming loans at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Nonperforming TDRs are included in nonaccrual loans. TDRs remain in nonperforming status until a borrower has made at least six consecutive months of payments under the modified terms. Performing TDRs are excluded from nonaccrual loans because it is reasonably assured that all contractual principal and interest due under the restructured terms will be collected. Within consumer nonperforming loans, residential first mortgage TDRs were 35 percent of residential first mortgage nonperforming loans at September 30, 2016, compared to 51 percent at December 31, 2015.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable losses that are inherent in our loans held-for-investment portfolio but which have not yet been realized. The consumer loan portfolio includes residential first mortgages, second mortgages, HELOC, and other consumer loans. The commercial loan portfolio includes commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and warehouse lending. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

The allowance for loan losses decreased $44 million to $143 million at September 30, 2016, compared to $187 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease from December 31, 2015 was primarily driven by a decrease in the amount of residential first mortgage loans as a result of sales along with the sale of $110 million unpaid principal balance of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held-for-investment decreased to 2.3 percent as of September 30, 2016 from 3.0 percent as of December 31, 2015. At September 30, 2016, we had a 3.8 percent allowance coverage of our consumer loan portfolio. The commercial loan allowance for loan losses coverage ratio was 1.3 percent at September 30, 2016, reflecting the percentage of warehouse loans in the portfolio and improved level of overall quality.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not have sufficient funds to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects our ability to meet loan requests, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate and market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution to meet current financial obligations is a function of the balance sheet structure, the ability to liquidate assets, and access to various sources of funds.
We primarily originate Agency-eligible loans held-for-sale and therefore the majority of new residential first mortgage loan originations are readily convertible to cash, either by selling them as part of our monthly Agency sales, private party whole loan sales, or by pledging them to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and borrowing against them. We use the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis as a significant source for funding our residential mortgage banking business due to our flexibility in terms of being able to borrow or repay borrowings as daily cash needs require.

Our principal uses of funds include loan originations and operating expenses. At September 30, 2016, we had outstanding rate-lock commitments of $6.5 billion, compared to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase in rate-lock commitments was driven by the lower interest rate environment at September 30, 2016. Total commitments were $9.0 billion at September 30, 2016 and $5.5 billion at December 31, 2015. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on commitments.

The amount we can borrow, or the value we receive for the assets pledged to our liquidity providers, varies based on the amount and type of pledged collateral as well as the perceived market value of the assets and the "haircut" of the market value of the assets. That value is sensitive to the pricing and policies of our liquidity providers and can change with little or no notice.

In addition to operating expenses at a particular level of mortgage originations, our cash flows are fairly predictable and relate primarily to the funding of cash outflows to originate or purchase residential first mortgages and cash inflows from sales of those residential first mortgages. Our mortgage warehouse funding line of business also generates cash flows as funds are extended to correspondent relationships to close new loans. Those loans are repaid when the correspondent sells the loan. Other material cash flows relate to growing our commercial lines of business and the loans we service for others and consist primarily of monthly principal, interest, taxes and insurance escrow payments.

Our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows shows cash used in operating activities of $10.1 billion and $7.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This primarily reflects our mortgage operations and is a reflection of the manner in which we execute certain loan sales for which the cash outflow is included in operating activities and the corresponding cash inflow is included in the investing section.

As governed and defined by our internal liquidity policy, we maintain adequate excess liquidity levels appropriate to cover unanticipated liquidity needs. In addition to this liquidity, we also maintain targeted minimum levels of unused collateralized borrowing capacity as another cushion against unexpected liquidity needs. Each business day, we forecast 90 days of daily cash needs. This allows us to determine our projected near term daily cash fluctuations and also to plan and adjust, if necessary, future activities. As a result, in an adverse environment, we would be able to make adjustments to operations as required to meet the liquidity needs of our business, including adjusting deposit rates to increase deposits, planning for additional Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, accelerating sales of loans held-for-sale (agencies and/or private), selling loans held-for-investment or securities, borrowing through the use of repurchase agreements, reducing originations, making changes to warehouse funding facilities, or borrowing from the discount window.    

Our liquidity position is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likelyexpected to have a material adverse effectimpact on our liquidity, capital resources or operations.

Parent Company Liquidity

The Company obtains its liquidity from multiple sources, including dividends from the Bank and the issuance of debt and equity securities. The primary uses of the Company's liquidity are debt service, dividends to common and preferred stockholders, capital contributions to the Bank and operating expenses. The Company's most liquid assets are cash it holds at the Bank and interest-bearing demand accounts at correspondent banks, all of which totaled $73 million at September 30, 2016.


The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") regulates all capital distributions made by the Bank, directly or indirectly, to the holding company, including dividend payments. A subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Bank, must file a notice or application with the OCC at least 30 days prior to each proposed capital distribution. Whether an application is required is based on a number of factors including whether the institution qualifies for expedited treatment under the OCC rules and regulations or if the total amount of all capital distributions (including each proposed capital distribution) for the applicable calendar year exceeds net income for that year to date plus the retained net income for the preceding two years. Under the Consent Order, the Bank may not pay a dividend or make a capital distribution if it is not in compliance with its approved capital plan or would not remain in compliance after making the dividend or capital distribution, and the Bank must receive OCC approval under the generally applicable application or notice requirements. In addition, as a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, the Bank must receive approval from the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") before declaring any dividends. Additional restrictions on dividends apply if the Bank fails the Qualified Thrift Lending ("QTL") test. We anticipate that as long as we remain under the consent order, we will be required to obtain approval from the OCC prior to any capital distribution.

For additional details and restrictions related to the Bank’s payment of dividends, refer to the Capital section of Management’s discussion and analysis within this form 10-Q.

Deposits

Our deposits consist of three primary categories: retail deposits, government deposits, and company controlled deposits. Total deposits increased $1.4 billion, or 18 percent at September 30, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, primarily due to increases in company controlled deposits.

We have continued to focus on increasing our core deposit accounts such as branch and commercial demand deposits, savings and money market accounts. These core deposits provide a lower cost funding source to the Bank. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our core deposits increased $196 million primarily driven by growth in commercial demand deposits, partially offset by a decline in retail money market demand accounts.

We utilize local governmental agencies, and other public units, as an additional source for deposit funding. These deposit accounts include $372 million of certificates of deposit with maturities typically less than one year and $804 million in checking and savings accounts at September 30, 2016.

Company controlled deposits arise due to our servicing of loans for others and represent the portion of the investor custodial accounts on deposit with the Bank. Certain deposits require us to reimburse the owner for the spread on these funds. This cost is a component of net loan administration income. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, these deposits increased $869 million, primarily due to taxes not yet paid out.

We participate in the Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARS") program, through which certain customer certificates of deposit ("CD") are exchanged for CDs of similar amounts from other participating banks. This gives customers the potential to receive FDIC insurance up to $50 million. At September 30, 2016, we had $249 million of total CDs enrolled in the CDARS program.

Borrowings

The Federal Home Loan Bank provides loans, also referred to as advances, on a fully collateralized basis, to savings banks and other member financial institutions. We are currently authorized through a resolution of our board of directors to apply for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank using approved loan types as collateral. At September 30, 2016, we had the authority and approval from the Federal Home Loan Bank to utilize a line of credit of up to $7.0 billion and we may access that line to the extent that collateral is provided. At September 30, 2016, we had $2.5 billion of advances outstanding and an additional $2.0 billion of collateralized borrowing capacity available at the Federal Home Loan Bank.

We have arrangements with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to borrow, as appropriate, from its discount window. The discount window is a borrowing facility that is intended to be used only for short-term liquidity needs arising from special or unusual circumstances. The amount we are allowed to borrow is based on the lendable value of the collateral that we provide. To collateralize the line, we pledge commercial and industrial loans that are eligible based on Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago guidelines. At September 30, 2016, we had pledged commercial and industrial loans amounting to $517 million with a lendable value of $508 million. At December 31, 2015, we had pledged commercial and industrial loans amounting to $75 million with a lendable value of $45 million. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no borrowings outstanding against this line of credit. We also have access to overnight borrowings from various counterparty banks that settle through the Federal Reserve Bank. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had $20 million and no borrowings outstanding on these short-term borrowings, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $1,079 million to $2,462 million at September 30, 2016 from $3,541 million at December 31, 2015. We rely upon advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank

as a source of funding for the origination or purchase of loans for sale in the secondary market and for providing duration specific short-term and long-term financing. The outstanding balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances fluctuates from time to time depending on our current inventory of mortgage loans held-for-sale and the availability of lower cost funding sources. Our portfolio includes short-term fixed and variable rate advances, long-term LIBOR adjustable advances, and long-term fixed rate advances. Interest rates on the LIBOR index advances reset every three-months and the advances may be prepaid without penalty, with notification, at scheduled three-month intervals after an initial 12-month lockout period.

Debt. As part of our overall capital strategy, we previously raised capital through the issuance of junior subordinated notes to our special purpose trusts formed for the offerings, which issued preferred stock (trust preferred securities). The junior subordinated notes are callable by us at any time. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis; however, we may defer interest payments for up to 20 quarters without default or penalty. In January, 2012, we exercised our contractual right to defer regularly scheduled quarterly payments of interest. On July 14, 2016, we ended the deferral and made a $34 million payment to bring current our previously deferred interest as of that date.

We issued $250 million of 2021 senior notes on July 11, 2016 (“2021 Senior Notes”). The proceeds from these notes were used to bring current and redeem our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock. The notes will be effectively subordinated to Flagstar Bancorp, Inc.’s secured indebtedness.

Prior to June 15, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the 2021 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Senior Notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest.

See Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other long-term debt.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of reduced earnings and and/or declines in the net market value of the balance sheet primarily due to changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or equity prices. We do not have any material foreign currency exchange risk or equity price risk. The primary market risk is interest rate risk and results from timing differences in the repricing of our assets and liabilities, changes in the relationships between rate indices, and the potential exercise of explicit or embedded options.

Interest rate risk is monitored by the asset liability committee ("ALCO"), which is composed of our executive officers and other members of management, in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the ALCO considers the impact projected interest rate scenarios have on earnings and capital, liquidity, business strategies, and other factors. The ALCO meets monthly or as deemed necessary to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and fair values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activity, loans held-for-sale and commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments, borrowings and time deposits.

Financial instruments used to manage interest rate risk include derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward sales commitments. Further discussion of the use of and thesignificant accounting for derivative instruments is included in Notes 8 and 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. All of our derivatives are accounted for at fair market value. All mortgage loan production originated for sale is accounted for on a fair value basis.

To effectively measure and manage interest rate risk, sensitivity analysis is used to determine the impact on earnings and the net market value of the balance sheet across various interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends, and strategies. From these simulations, interest rate risk is quantified and appropriate strategies are developed and implemented. Additionally, duration and net interest income sensitivity measures are utilized when they provide added value to the overall interest rate risk management process. The overall interest rate risk position and strategies are reviewed by executive management and the board of directors on an ongoing basis. However, management has the latitude to increase interest rate sensitivity within certain limits if, in management's judgment, the increase will enhance profitability.

Net interest income simulation analysis provides estimated net interest income of the current balance sheet across alternative interest rate scenarios. The net interest income analysis measures the sensitivity of interest sensitive earnings over a 12 month time horizon. The analysis holds the current balance sheet values constant and does not take into account management intervention. The net interest income simulation demonstrates the level of interest rate risk inherent in the existing balance sheet.

The following table is a summary of the changes in our net interest income that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates. The interest rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate changes plus or minus 200 basis points. The minus 200 basis point shock scenario is a flattener scenario as rates are floored at zero given the current interest rate levels.

At September 30, 2016, the $2 million decline in the net interest margin in the constant scenario as compared to December 31, 2015, was primarily driven by a decreased yield on other investments and consumer loans.

We have also projected the potential impact to net interest income in a hypothetical "bear flattener" interest rate scenario as of September 30, 2016. When increasing short-term interest rates instantaneously by 100 basis points and holding the longer term interest rates unchanged, the decrease to net interest income over a 12-month and 24-month period based on our forecasted balance sheet is a loss of $21 million and $27 million, respectively.

In the net interest income simulation, our balance sheet exhibits slight asset sensitivity. When interest rates rise our interest income increases, conversely when interest rates fall our interest income decreases. The net interest income simulation measures the interest rate risk of the balance sheet over a short period of time, typically 12 months. An additional analysis is completed that measures the interest rate risk over an extended period of time. The Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") analysis provides a fair value of the balance sheet in alternative interest rate scenarios. The EVE analysis does not take into account management intervention and assumes the new rate environment is constant and the change is instantaneous.

The following table is a summary of the changes in our EVE that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates. EVE is the market value of assets, less the market value of liabilities, adjusted for the market value of off-balance sheet instruments. The interest rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and as adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate changes upward to 300 basis points and downward to 100 basis points. The scenarios are not comparable due to differences in the interest rate environments, including the absolute level of rates and the shape of the yield curve. Each rate scenario reflects unique prepayment, repricing, and reinvestment assumptions. Management derives these assumptions by considering published market prepayment expectations, the repricing characteristics of individual instruments or groups of similar instruments, our historical experience, and our asset and liability management strategy. Further, this analysis assumes that certain instruments would not be affected by the changes in interest rates or would be partially affected due to the characteristics of the instruments.

Further, as this framework evaluates risks to the current statement of financial condition only, changes to the volumes and pricing of new business opportunities that can be expected in the different interest rate outcomes are not incorporated in this analytical framework. For instance, analysis of our history suggests that declining interest rate levels are associated with higher loan production volumes at higher levels of profitability. While this "natural business hedge" historically offsets most, if not all, of the identified risks associated with declining interest rate scenarios, these factors fall outside of the EVE framework. Further, there can be no assurance that this natural business hedge would positively affect the economic value of equity in the same manner and to the same extent as in the past.

There are limitations inherent in any methodology used to estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates. It is not possible to fully model the market risk in instruments with leverage, option, or prepayment risks. Also, we are affected by basis risk, which is the difference in repricing characteristics of similar term rate indices. As such, this analysis is not intended to be a precise forecast of the effect a change in market interest rates would have on us.

If EVE increases in any interest rate scenario, that would indicate an increasing direction for the margin in that hypothetical rate scenario. A perfectly matched balance sheet would possess no change in the EVE, no matter what the rate scenario. The following table presents the EVE in the stated interest rate scenarios:
September 30, 2016 December 31, 2015
Scenario EVE EVE% $ Change % Change Scenario EVE EVE% $ Change % Change

 14.7% (34) (1.7)%

Our balance sheet exhibits sensitivity in a rising interest rate scenario as the EVE decreases. The decrease in EVE is the result of the amount of liabilities that would be expected to reprice exceeding the amount of assets repriced in the up to 200 scenario. The (100) is a flattener scenario as shorter term rates are unable to decrease 100 basis points due to the absolute level of rates. Therefore, the yields of the longer term variable rate assets decrease by the full 100 basis points, but the liabilities repricing to shorter term rates decrease to less than 100 basis points, leading to a reduction in EVE.

Mortgage servicing rights

At September 30, 2016, MSRs at fair value increased $6 million to $302 million, compared to $296 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to additions from loan sales where we retained servicing, partially offset by actual and pending MSR sales and higher prepayments.
Once fully phased in, the Basel III capital rules will significantly reduce the allowable amount of the fair value of MSRs included in Tier 1 capital. Our ratio of MSRs to Tier 1 capital was 24.6 percent and 20.6 percent at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, we have pending MSR sales with a fair value of $50 million expected to close in the fourth quarter 2016. These sales represent nearly all of the Company's remaining Ginnie Mae MSRs and will significantly reduce the mortgage servicing asset as we work to prepare for Basel III final phase-in capital requirements as discussed above.

The principal balance of the loans underlying our total MSRs was $31.4 billion at September 30, 2016, compared to $26.1 billion at December 31, 2015, primarily attributable to an increase in servicing loan volume, partially offset by loan payoffs and MSR sales of $12.7 billion in underlying loans.

For further information relating to the mortgage servicing rights, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss due to human error; inadequate or failed internal systems and controls; violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules and regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards; and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, and security risks. We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and regulations, and to improve the oversight of our operational risk. We evaluate internal systems, processes, and controls to mitigate loss from cyber-attacks and, to date, have not experienced any material losses. The goal of this framework is to implement effective operational risk techniques and strategies, minimize operational and fraud losses, and enhance our overall performance.

Loans with government guarantees

The amount of loans with government guarantees totaled $404 million at September 30, 2016 and the loans which we have not yet repurchased but had the unilateral right to repurchase totaled $21 million and were classified as loans with government guarantees. At December 31, 2015, loans with government guarantees totaled $485 million and those loans which we had not yet repurchased but had the unilateral right to repurchase totaled $9 million and were classified as loans with government guarantees. The balance of this portfolio decreased at September 30, 2016, primarily due to loans with government guarantees transferred to held-for-sale and loan liquidations, partially offset by an increase in repurchased loans.

Substantially all of these loans continue to be insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and management believes that the reimbursement process is proceeding appropriately. These repurchased loans earn interest at a statutory rate, which varies for each loan, but is based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rate at the time the loan becomes greater than 60 days delinquent. Certain loans within our portfolio may be subject to indemnifications and insurance limits which exposes us to limited credit risk. We have reserved for these risks within other assets and as a component of our allowance for loan losses on residential first mortgages.

For further information on loans with government guarantees, see Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.

Representation and warranty reserve

When we sell mortgage loans, we make customary representations and warranties to the purchasers, including sponsored securitization trusts and their insurers (primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac).

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had $14 million in Fannie Mae new repurchase demands and $10 million in Freddie Mac new repurchase demands. These amounts are down as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 when we had $75 million in Fannie Mae new repurchase demands and $23 million in Freddie Mac new repurchase demands.policies:

Capital

Under the capital distribution regulations, a savings bank that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company must either notify or seek approval from the OCC of a capital distribution at least 30 days prior to the declaration of a dividend or the approval by the board of directors of the proposed capital distribution. The 30-day period allows the OCC to determine whether the distribution would not be advisable. Because we are under the Consent Order, we currently must seek approval from the OCC prior to making a capital distribution from the Bank. Also, under Federal Reserve requirements, the Bank must provide a 30-day notice to the Federal Reserve prior to declaring or paying dividends. In addition, under the Supervisory Agreement, the Company agreed to request prior non-objection of the Federal Reserve to pay dividends or other capital distributions. We seek to manage our capital levels and overall business in a manner which we consider to be prudent and work with our regulators to ensure that our capital levels are appropriate considering our risk profile and evaluation of the capital levels maintained by peer institutions.

Consent Orders

Effective October 23, 2012, the Bank's board of directors executed a Stipulation and Consent (the "Stipulation"), accepting the issuance of a Consent Order (the "Consent Order") by the OCC. The Consent Order replaced the supervisory agreement entered into between the Bank and the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") on January 27, 2010, which the OCC terminated simultaneous with issuance of the Consent Order. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Consent Order, please refer to the copy of the Consent Order filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 24, 2012.

On September 29, 2014, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB"). The Consent Order relates to alleged violations of federal consumer financial laws arising from the Bank’s residential

first mortgage loan loss mitigation practices and default servicing operations dating back to 2011. Under the terms of the Consent Order, the Bank paid $28 million for borrower remediation and $10 million in civil money penalties. The settlement does not involve any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Bank or our employees, directors, officers, or agents. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Consent Order, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2014.

Supervisory Agreement

On January 28, 2010, we became subject to the Supervisory Agreement, which will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the Federal Reserve. The failure to comply with the Supervisory Agreement could result in the initiation of further enforcement action by the Federal Reserve, including the imposition of further operating restrictions, and could result in additional enforcement actions against us. We have taken actions which we believe are appropriate to comply with, and intend to maintain compliance with, all of the requirements of the Supervisory Agreement. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Supervisory Agreement, please refer to the copy of the Supervisory Agreement filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2010.

Department of Justice Settlement Agreement

On February 24, 2012, the Bank entered into a Settlement Agreement with the Department of Justice ("DOJ") under which we made an initial payment of $15 million and agreed to make future payments totaling $118 million in annual increments of up to $25 million upon meeting all of the following conditions which are evaluated quarterly and include: (a) the reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which occurred at the end of 2013; (b) the repayment of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the "TARP Preferred") (or, in the absence of a redemption, adjusting our Bank Tier 1 Capital Ratio for any unextinguished TARP Preferred); and (c) our Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio is 11 percent or more. Additionally, if the Bank or Bancorp become party to a business combination in which the Bank or Bancorp represent less than 33.3 percent of the resulting company’s assets, annual payments would commence twelve months after the date of that business combination. Further, should all conditions for payment be satisfied, an annual payment under the settlement agreement would be made, and any further payments would be made only so long as such conditions are satisfied at the time required for such further payments.

Within six months of satisfying the conditions specified above, the Bank would make an additional payment, to occur no more frequently than annually, provided that doing so would not violate any material banking regulatory requirement or the OCC does not object in writing. Consistent with our business and regulatory requirements, Flagstar shall seek in good faith to fulfill the conditions, and will not undertake any conduct or fail to take any action the purpose of which is to frustrate or delay our ability to fulfill any of the conditions.

In July 2016, we paid a $200 million dividend from the Bank to the Bancorp and issued $250 million in Senior Notes to a) bring current the interest payments on our trust preferred securities, b) become current on our deferred interest and dividends related to our TARP Preferred and c) repay our TARP Preferred. To support the on-going debt service and other Bancorp expenses, we also intend to reduce our Bancorp double leverage and debt to equity ratios to be more consistent with such ratios at other mid-sized banks, which would likely require further dividend payments from the Bank to the Bancorp for the foreseeable future.

Future annual payments of $25 million or the final payment of the remaining balance under the Settlement Agreement could be required if the Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of the Bank meets or exceeds 11 percent after adjusting for any outstanding TARP Preferred. Following the TARP Preferred redemption, which included a $200 million dividend from the Bank to Bancorp, the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio is less than 11 percent. The combination of (a) future dividends from the Bank to Bancorp and (b) continued growth in earning assets at the Bank are expected to continue to limit the growth rate of the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio, which could have an impact on the timing of expected cash flows under the Settlement Agreement.

The Settlement Agreement meets the definition of a financial instrument for which we elected the fair value option. The fair value of the liability is subject to significant uncertainty and is impacted by forecasted estimates of equity, earnings, timing and amount of dividends and growth of the balance sheet and their related impacts on forecasted Tier 1 Capital. We consider the assumptions a market participant would make to transfer the liability and evaluate multiple possible outcomes and our estimates of the likelihood of these outcomes, which may change over time.    
Regulatory Capital Composition - Transition

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific

capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. We are currently subject to regulatory capital rules issued by U.S. banking regulators

Effective January 1, 2015, we became subject to the Basel III rules, which include certain transition provisions. Capital deductions related to the Company's MSRs and deferred tax assets are recognized in 20 percent annual increments, and will be fully recognized as of January 1, 2018. When presented on a fully phased-in basis, capital, risk-weighted assets, and the capital ratios assume all regulatory capital adjustments and deductions are fully recognized. As of September 30, 2016, the Company and the Bank were subject to the transitional phase-in limitation on deductions related to MSRs and certain deferred tax assets. The annual incremental change in the deductions due to the increase in the transitional phase-in from 40 percent in 2015 to 60 percent in 2016 reduced our regulatory capital ratios.

Effective January 1, 2016, we became subject to the capital conservation buffer under the Basel III rules, subjecting a banking organization to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization does not maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer for 2016 must be greater than 0.625 percent in order to not be subject to limitations. The Company and the Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 7.3 percent and 9.9 percent, respectively as of September 30, 2016. When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer must be greater than 2.5 percent and will effectively increase the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0 percent, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 8.5 percent and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio to 10.5 percent.

The new regulations grandfather the regulatory capital treatment of hybrid debt and equity securities, such as trust preferred securities issued prior to May 19, 2010, for banks or holding companies with less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009.

At September 30, 2016, we were considered "well-capitalized" for regulatory purposes. The following tables show the regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

Our Tier 1 leverage ratio for the Corporation and the Bank decreased at September 30, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, primarily as a result of transactions related to the payoff of TARP, the payment of TARP dividends in arrears, along with an increase in the deductions related to DTAs and MSRs due to the change in the transitional phase-in limitation from 40 percent at December 31, 2015 to 60 percent at September 30, 2016.


Banks with assets greater than $10 billion are required to submit a Dodd-Frank stress test ("DFAST") under the final rules established by their primary regulator. DFAST requires banks to project results over a nine-quarter planning horizon under three scenarios (baseline, adverse, and severely adverse) published by the Federal Reserve and to show that the bank would exceed regulatory minimum capital standards for the Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 common ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the Total risk-based capital ratio under all of these scenarios. We are not subject to the Federal Reserve’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review ("CCAR") program.

Certain regulatory capital ratios for the Bank and the Company as of September 30, 2016 are shown in the following table:

(1)See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

The impact to our Tier 1 leverage ratio is mostly driven by the treatment that mortgage servicing rights receive under Basel III. Over the long term, we plan to continue to reduce our mortgage servicing rights to Tier 1 ratio, taking into consideration market conditions to guide our pace of MSR reduction. At September 30, 2016, we had $302 million of mortgage servicing rights, representing 24.6 percent of Tier 1 capital. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce our mortgage servicing rights exposure over time.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as the estimated fully implemented Basel III capital levels and ratios. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in helping to understand the underlying performance and trends of the Company.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, which are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To mitigate these limitations, we have practices in place to ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and to ensure that our performance is properly reflected to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Our method of calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from methods used by other companies. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, can be found in this report.

Basel III (transitional) to Basel III (fully phased-in) reconciliation. On January 1, 2015, the Basel III rules became effective, subject to transition provisions primarily related to regulatory deductions and adjustments impacting common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 capital. When fully phased-in, Basel III, will increase capital requirements through higher minimum capital levels as well as through increases in risk-weights for certain exposures. Additionally, the final Basel III rules place greater emphasis on common equity. In October 2013, the OCC and Federal Reserve released final rules detailing the U.S. implementation of Basel III and the application of the risk-based and leverage capital rules to top-tier savings and loan holding companies. We have transitioned to the Basel III framework beginning in January 2015 and are subject to a phase-in period extending through 2018. Accordingly, the calculations provided below are estimates. These measures are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures because they are not formally defined by GAAP and the Basel III implementation regulations. The Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1, Total Capital and Leverage ratios will not be fully phased-in until January 1, 2018 and the Capital Conservation buffer will not be fully phased-in until January 1, 2019. The regulations are subject to change as

clarifying guidance becomes available and the calculations currently include our interpretations of the requirements including informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Other entities may calculate the Basel III ratios differently from ours based on their interpretation of the guidelines. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess our capital adequacy using the Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors information enabling them to assess our capital adequacy on the same basis.
