NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (on a stand-alone basis, the “Parent Company” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was organized under Delaware law on July 20, 1993 and is the holding company for New York Community Bank and New York Commercial Bank (hereinafter referred to as the “Community Bank” and the “Commercial Bank,” respectively, and collectively as the “Banks”). For the purpose of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the “Community Bank” and the “Commercial Bank” refer not only to the respective banks but also to their respective subsidiaries.

The Community Bank is the primary banking subsidiary of the Company, which was formerly known as Queens County Bancorp, Inc. Founded on April 14, 1859 and formerly known as Queens County Savings Bank, the Community Bank converted from a state-chartered mutual savings bank to the capital stock form of ownership on November 23, 1993, at which date the Company issued its initial offering of common stock (par value: $0.01 per share) at a price of $25.00 per share ($0.93 per share on a split-adjusted basis, reflecting the impact of nine stock splits between 1994 and 2004). The Commercial Bank was established on December 30, 2005.

Reflecting its growth through acquisitions, the Community Bank currently operates 225 branches, two of which operate directly under the Community Bank name. The remaining 223 Community Bank branches operate through seven divisional banks: Queens County Savings Bank, Roslyn Savings Bank, Richmond County Savings Bank, and Roosevelt Savings Bank in New York; Garden State Community Bank in New Jersey; AmTrust Bank in Florida and Arizona; and Ohio Savings Bank in Ohio.

The Commercial Bank currently operates 30 branches in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Westchester County, and Long Island (all in New York), including 18 branches that operate under the name “Atlantic Bank.”

Basis of Presentation

The following is a description of the significant accounting and reporting policies that the Company and its subsidiaries follow in preparing and presenting their consolidated financial statements, which conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term are used in connection with the determination of the allowances for loan losses; the evaluation of goodwill for impairment; and the evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company currently has certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in the form of wholly-owned statutory business trusts, which were formed to issue guaranteed capital securities (“capital securities”). See Note 7, “Borrowed Funds,” for additional information regarding these trusts.

Note 2. Computation of Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the same method as basic EPS, however, the computation reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstandingin-the-money stock options were exercised and converted into common stock.

Unvested stock-based compensation awards containingnon-forfeitable rights to dividends paid on the Company’s common stock are considered participating securities, and therefore are included in thetwo-class method for calculating EPS. Under thetwo-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends on the common stock. The Company grants restricted stock to certain employees under its stock-based compensation plan. Recipients receive cash dividends during the vesting periods of these awards, including on the unvested portion of such awards. Since these dividends arenon-forfeitable, the unvested awards are considered participating securities and therefore have earnings allocated to them.

The following table presents the Company’s computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated:

(1)Held-to-maturity securities are reported at a carrying amount equal to amortized cost less thenon-credit portion of OTTI recorded in AOCL. At December 31, 2016, thenon-credit portion of OTTI recorded in AOCL was $8.6 million (before taxes).

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, the Company had $579.5 million and $590.9 million ofFHLB-NY stock, at cost. The Company is required to maintain an investment inFHLB-NY stock in order to have access to the funding it provides.

The following table summarizes the gross proceeds and gross realized gains from the sale ofavailable-for-sale securities during the periods indicated:

(in thousands)  2017   2016 

Gross proceeds

  $246,209   $264,413 

Gross realized gains

   1,986    413 

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company sought to take advantage of favorable bond market conditions and soldheld-to-maturity securities with an amortized cost of $521.0 million resulting in gross proceeds of $547.9 million including a gross realized gain of $26.9 million. Accordingly, the Company transferred the remaining $3.0 billion ofheld-to-maturity securities toavailable-for-sale with a net unrealized gain of $82.8 million classified in other comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Having our securities portfolio classified asavailable-for-sale improves the Company’s interest rate risk sensitivity and liquidity measures and provides the Company with more options in meeting the expected future Liquidity Coverage Ratio (“LCR”) requirements.

In the following table, the beginning balance represents the credit loss component for debt securities onamount by which OTTI occurred prior to January 1, 2017. For credit-impaired debt securities, OTTI recognized in earnings after that date is presented as an addition in two components, based upon whether the current period is the first time a debt security was credit-impaired (initial credit impairment) or is not the first time a debt security was credit-impaired (subsequent credit impairment).

An OTTI loss on impaired debt securities must be fully recognized in earnings if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security, or if it is more likely than not that the investor will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost. However, even if an investor does not expect to sell a debt security, it must evaluate the expected cash flows to be received and determine if a credit loss has occurred. In the event that a credit loss occurs, only the amount of impairment associated with the credit loss is recognized in earnings. Amounts of impairment relating to factors other than credit losses are recorded in AOCL.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had unrealized losses on certain GSE mortgage-related securities, municipal bonds, capital trust notes, and equity securities. The unrealized losses on the Company’s GSE mortgage-related securities, municipal bonds, and capital trust notes at September 30, 2017 were primarily caused by movements in market interest rates and spread volatility, rather than credit risk. These securities are not expected to be settled at a price that is less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment.

The Company reviews quarterly financial information related to its investments in capital trust notes, as well as other information that is released by each of the issuers of such notes, to determine their continued creditworthiness. The Company continues to monitor these investments and currently estimates that the present value of expected cash flows is not less than the amortized cost of the securities. It is possible that these securities will perform worse than is currently expected, which could lead to adverse changes in cash flows from these securities and potential OTTI losses in the future. Future events that could trigger material unrecoverable declines in the fair values of the Company’s investments, and thus result in potential OTTI losses, include, but are not limited to, government intervention; deteriorating asset quality and credit metrics; significantly higher levels of default and loan loss provisions; losses in value on the underlying collateral; net operating losses; and illiquidity in the financial markets.

The Company considers a decline in the fair value of equity securities to be other than temporary if the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. The unrealized losses on the Company’s equity securities at September 30, 2017 were caused by market volatility. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of recoveringassets purchased exceeds the fair value of these securities, together withliabilities assumed and consideration given.


BASIS POINT

Throughout this filing, the severityyear-over-year changes that occur in certain financial measures are reported in terms of basis points. Each basis point is equal to one hundredth of a percentage point, or 0.01 percent.

BOOK VALUE PER COMMON SHARE

Book value per common share refers to the amount of common stockholders’ equity attributable to each outstanding share of common stock, and durationis calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity less preferred stock at the end of impairmenta period, by the number of shares outstanding at the same date.

BROKERED DEPOSITS

Refers to date,funds obtained, directly or indirectly, by or through deposit brokers that are then deposited into one or more deposit accounts at a bank.

CHARGE-OFF

Refers to the amount of a loan balance that has been written off against the allowance for credit losses.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOAN

A mortgage loan secured by either an income-producing property owned by an investor and determined that they were not other-than-temporarily impaired. Nonetheless, it is possible that these equity securities will perform worse than is currently expected, which could lead to adverse changes in their fair value,leased primarily for commercial purposes or, to the failure of the securities to fully recovera lesser extent, an owner-occupied building used for business purposes. The CRE loans in value as currently anticipatedour portfolio are typically secured by management. Either event could cause the Company to record an OTTI loss in a future period. Events that could trigger a material decline in the fair value of these securities include, but are not limited to, deterioration in the equity markets; a decline in the quality of the loan portfolio of the issuer in which the Company has invested; and the recording of higher loan loss provisions and net operating losses by such issuer.

The investment securities designated as having a continuous loss position for twelve months or more at September 30, 2017 consisted of five capital trust notes and five agency mortgage-related securities. At December 31, 2016 securities designated as having a continuous loss position for twelve months or more consisted of five capital trust notes. At September 30, 2017, the fair value of securities having a continuous loss position for twelve months or more was 18.4% below the collective amortized cost of $62.5 million. At December 31, 2016, the fair value of such securities was 32.2% below the collective amortized cost of $43.7 million. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the combined market value of the respective securities represented unrealized losses of $11.5 million and $14.1 million, respectively.

Non-Covered Loans

Non-Covered Loans Held for Investment

The majority of the loans the Company originates for investment are multi-family loans, most of which are collateralized bynon-luxury apartment buildings in New York City with rent-regulated units and below-market rents. In addition, the Company originates commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans, most of which are collateralized by income-producing properties such aseither office buildings, retail shopping centers,mixed-use buildings, and multi-tenanted light industrial properties that are located in New York Citycenters with multiple tenants, or mixed-use properties.


COST OF FUNDS

The interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities, typically expressed as a ratio of interest expense to the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities for a given period.

CRE CONCENTRATION RATIO

Refers to the sum of multi-family, non-owner occupied CRE, and on Long Island.

To a lesser extent, the Company also originatesone-to-four family loans, acquisition, development, and construction (“ADC”) loans and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, for investment.One-to-four family loans held for investment were originated throughdivided by total risk-based capital.


DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO

An indication of a borrower’s ability to repay a loan, the Company’s mortgage banking operation and primarily consisted of jumbo prime adjustable rate mortgages made to borrowers with a solid credit history. ADC loans are primarily originated for multi-family and residential tract projects in New York City and on Long Island. C&I loans consist of asset-based loans, equipment loans and leases, and dealer floor-plan loans (together, “specialty finance loans and leases”) thatDSCR generally are made to large corporate obligors, many of which are publicly traded, carry investment grade or near-investment grade ratings, and participate in stable industries nationwide; and “other” C&I loans that primarily are made to small andmid-size businesses in Metro New York. “Other” C&I loans are typically made for working capital, business expansion, and the purchase of machinery and equipment.

The repayment of multi-family and CRE loans generally depends on the income produced by the underlying properties which, in turn, depends on their successful operation and management. To mitigate the potential for credit losses, the Company underwrites its loans in accordance with credit standards it considers to be prudent, looking first at the consistency ofmeasures the cash flows being producedavailable to a borrower over the course of a year as a percentage of the annual interest and principal payments owed during that time.


DERIVATIVE

A term used to define a broad base of financial instruments, including swaps, options, and futures contracts, whose value is based upon, or derived from, an underlying rate, price, or index (such as interest rates, foreign currency, commodities, or prices of other financial instruments such as stocks or bonds).

EFFICIENCY RATIO

Measures total operating expenses as a percentage of the sum of net interest income and non-interest income.

4


GOODWILL

Refers to the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of an acquired company’s assets, net of the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is reflected as an asset on the balance sheet and is tested at least annually for impairment.

GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ENTERPRISES

Refers to a group of financial services corporations that were created by the underlying property. In addition, multi-family buildings, CRE properties,United States Congress to enhance the availability, and ADC projects are inspected as a prerequisite to approval, and independent appraisers, whose appraisals are carefully reviewed by the Company’sin-house appraisers, perform appraisals on the collateral properties. In many cases, a second independent appraisal review is performed.

To further manage its credit risk, the Company’s lending policies limit the amount of credit granted to any one borrower and typically require conservative debt service coverage ratios andloan-to-value ratios. Nonetheless, the ability of the Company’s borrowers to repay these loans may be impacted by adverse conditions in the local real estate market and the local economy. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that its underwriting policies will protect the Company from credit-related losses or delinquencies.

ADC loans typically involve a higher degree of credit risk than loans secured by improved or owner-occupied real estate. Accordingly, borrowers are required to provide a guarantee of repayment and completion, and loan proceeds are disbursed as construction progresses, as certified byin-house inspectors or third-party engineers. The Company seeks to minimize the credit risk on ADC loans by maintaining conservative lending policies and rigorous underwriting standards. However, if the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate,reduce the cost of, completion is greater than expected, orcredit to certain targeted borrowing sectors, including home finance. The GSEs include, but are not limited to, the length of time to complete and/or sell or leaseFederal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the collateral property is greater than anticipated, the property could have a value upon completion that is insufficient to assure full repayment of the loan. This could have a material adverse effect on the quality of the ADC loan portfolio, and could result in losses or delinquencies. In addition, the Company utilizes the same stringent appraisal process for ADC loans as it does for its multi-family and CRE loans.

To minimize the risk involved in specialty finance lending and leasing, the Company participates in syndicated loans that are brought to it, and equipment loans and leases that are assigned to it, by a select group of nationally recognized sources who have had long-term relationships with its experienced lending officers. Each of these credits is secured with a perfected first security interest or outright ownership in the underlying collateral, and structured as senior debt or as anon-cancelable lease. To further minimize the risk involved in specialty finance lending and leasing, each transaction isre-underwritten. In addition, outside counsel is retained to conduct a further review of the underlying documentation.

To minimize the risks involved in other C&I lending, the Company underwrites such loans on the basis of the cash flows produced by the business; requires that such loans be collateralized by various business assets, including inventory, equipment, and accounts receivable, among others; and typically requires personal guarantees. However, the capacity of a borrower to repay such a C&I loan is substantially dependent on the degree to which the business is successful. In addition, the collateral underlying such loans may depreciate over time, may not be conducive to appraisal, or may fluctuate in value, based upon the results of operations of the business.

Included innon-covered loans held for investment at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, were loans of $58.7 million and $91.8 million to officers, directors, and their related interests and parties. There were no loans to principal shareholders at either of those dates.

At December 31, 2016, the Company hadnon-covered purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans, with a carrying value of $5.8 million and an unpaid principal balance of $7.0 million at that date. PCI loans had been covered under Loss Share Agreements (“LSA”) with the FDIC that expired in March 2015 and had been included innon-covered loans. Such loans were accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)310-30 and were initially measured at fair value, which included estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the lives of the loans. Under ASC310-30, purchasers are permitted to aggregate acquired loans into one or more pools, provided that the loans have common risk characteristics. A pool is then accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. There were no such loans accounted for under ASC310-30 at September 30, 2017.

Loans Held for Sale

As previously disclosed, on June 27, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its mortgage banking business, which was acquired as part of its 2009 FDIC-assisted acquisition of AmTrust Bank (“AmTrust”) and is reported under the Company’s Residential Mortgage Banking segment, to FreedomFederal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom”Freddie Mac”). Accordingly, on September 29, 2017, the sale was completed with proceeds received in the amount of $226.6 million, resulting in a gain of $7.4 million, which is included in“Non-interest income” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. Freedom acquired both the Company’s origination and servicing platforms, as well as its mortgage servicing loan portfolio of $20.5 billion and related mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) asset of $208.8 million.

Additionally, as previously disclosed, the Company received approval from the FDIC to sell assets covered under our LSA, early terminate the LSA, and enter into an agreement to sell the majority of ourone-to-four family residential mortgage-related assets, including those covered under the LSA, to an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”). On July 28, 2017, the Company completed the sale, resulting in the receipt of proceeds of $1.9 billion from Cerberus, and the FDICFederal Home Loan Banks (the “FHLBs”).


GSE OBLIGATIONS

Refers to GSE mortgage-related securities (both certificates and settled the related FDIC loss share receivable, resulting in a gain of $74.6 million which is included in“Non-interest income” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Incomecollateralized mortgage obligations) and Comprehensive Income. Effective October 31, 2017, the Company and the FDIC completed termination of the LSA.

The Community Bank’s mortgage banking operations originated, aggregated, sold, and servicedone-to-four family loans. Community banks, credit unions, mortgage companies, and mortgage brokers used its proprietaryweb-accessible mortgage banking platformGSE debentures.


INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Refers to originate and closeone-to-four family loans nationwide. These loans were generally sold to GSEs, servicing retained. To a much lesser extent, the Community Bank used its mortgage banking platform to originate jumbo loans.

The preceding classifications are the most current ones available and generally have been updated within the last twelve months. In addition, they follow regulatory guidelines and can generally be described as follows: pass loans are of satisfactory quality; special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention; substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged (these loans have a well-defined weakness and there is a possibility that the Company will sustain some loss); and doubtful loans, based on existing circumstances, have weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. In addition,one-to-four family loans are classified based on the duration of the delinquency.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company is required to account for certainheld-for-investment loan modifications and restructurings as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). In general, a modification or restructuring of a loan constitutes a TDR if the Company grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. A loan modified as a TDR generally is placed onnon-accrual status until the Company determines that future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which requires, among other things, that the borrower demonstrate performance according to the restructured terms for a period of at least six consecutive months.

In an effort to proactively manage delinquent loans, the Company has selectively extended to certain borrowers concessions such as rate reductions, extension of maturity dates, and forbearance agreements. As of September 30, 2017, loans on which concessions were made with respect to rate reductions and/or extension of maturity dates amounted to $41.5 million; loans on which forbearance agreements were reached amounted to $1.8 million.

The eligibility of a borrower forwork-out concessions of any nature depends upon the facts and circumstances of each loan, which may change from period to period, and involves judgment by Company personnel regarding the likelihood that the concessioninterest earned on assets and the interest paid on liabilities will change as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates.

At September 30, 2017, twonon-coveredone-to-four family loans, totaling $497,000 and six C&I loans, totaling $1.4 million that had been modified as TDRs during the twelve months ended at that date were in payment default. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. The Company does not consider a payment to be in default when the loan is in forbearance, or otherwise granted a delay of payment, or when the agreement to forebear or allow a delay of payment is part of a modification.

Subsequent to the modification, the loan is not considered to be in default until payment is contractually past due in accordance with the modified terms. However, the Company does consider a loan with multiple modifications or forbearance periods to be in default, and would also consider a loan to be in default if the borrower were in bankruptcy or if the loan were partially charged off subsequent to modification.

Covered Loans

As previously discussed, the Company sold its covered loan portfolio during the third quarter of 2017; therefore, the Company does not have any covered loans outstanding as of September 30, 2017.

The Company referred to certain loans acquired in the AmTrust and Desert Hills Bank (“Desert Hills”) transactions as “covered loans” because the Company was being reimbursed for a substantial portion of losses on these loans under the terms of the LSA. Covered loans were accounted for under ASC310-30 and were initially measured at fair value, which included estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the lives of the loans. Under ASC310-30, purchasers are permitted to aggregate acquired loans into one or more pools, provided that the loans have common risk characteristics. A pool is then accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows.

The following table presents the carrying value of covered loans which were acquired in the acquisitions of AmTrust and Desert Hills as of December 31, 2016.

At December 31, 2016, the unpaid principal balance of covered loans was $2.1 billion and the carrying value of such loans was $1.7 billion.

At December 31, 2016, the Company estimated the fair values of the AmTrust and Desert Hills loan portfolios, which represented the expected cash flows from the portfolios, discounted at market-based rates. In estimating such fair values, the Company: (a) calculated the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments (the “undiscounted contractual cash flows”); and (b) estimated the expected amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments (the “undiscounted expected cash flows”). The amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows exceed the estimated fair value (the “accretable yield”) was accreted into interest income over the lives of the loans. The amount by which the undiscounted contractual cash flows exceed the undiscounted expected cash flows is referred to as the“non-accretable difference.” Thenon-accretable difference represented an estimate of the credit risk in the loan portfolios at the respective acquisition dates.

The accretable yield was affected by changes in interest rate indices for variable rate loans, changes in prepayment assumptions, and changes in expected principal and interest payments over the estimated lives of the loans. Changes in interest rate indices for variable rate loans increased or decreased the amount of interest income expected to be collected, depending on the direction of interest rates. Prepayments affected the estimated lives of covered loans and could have changed the amount of interest income and principal expected to be collected. Changes in expected principal and interest payments over the estimated lives of covered loans were driven by the credit outlook and by actions that may be taken with borrowers. As of September 30, 2017, the accretable yield was reduced to zero.

On a quarterly basis, the Company had evaluated the estimates of the cash flows it expected to collect. Expected future cash flows from interest payments were based on variable rates at the time of the quarterly evaluation. Estimates of expected cash flows that were impacted by changes in interest rate indices for variable rate loans and prepayment assumptions were treated as prospective yield adjustments and included in interest income.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, changes in the accretable yield for covered loans were as follows:

In the preceding table, the line item “Reclassification tonon-accretable difference for the six months ended June 30, 2017” includes changes in cash flows that the Company expects to collect due to changes in prepayment assumptions, changes in interest rates on variable rate loans, and changes in loss assumptions. As of the Company’s most recent quarterly evaluation, prepayment assumptions increased, which resulted in a decrease in future expected interest cash flows and, consequently, a decrease in the accretable yield. The effect of this decrease was partially offset with an improvement in the underlying credit assumptions and the resetting of rates on variable rate loans at a slightly higher level, which resulted in an increase in future expected interest cash flows and, consequently, an increase in the accretable yield.

Reflecting the foreclosure of certain loans acquired in the AmTrust and Desert Hills acquisitions, the Company owned certain other real estate owned (“OREO”) that was covered under its LSA (“covered OREO”). Covered OREO was initially recorded at its estimated fair value on the respective dates of acquisition, based on independent appraisals, less the estimated selling costs. Any subsequent write-downs due to declines in fair value were charged tonon-interest expense, and were partially offset by loss reimbursements under the LSA. Any recoveries of previous write-downs have been credited tonon-interest expense and partially offset by the portion of the recovery that was due to the FDIC. As previously discussed, the Company’s covered OREO was sold during the third quarter of 2017.

The FDIC loss share receivable represented the presentappraised value of the estimated losses to be reimbursedunderlying property.


MULTI-FAMILY LOAN
A mortgage loan secured by a rental or cooperative apartment building with more than four units.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The difference between the FDIC. The estimated losses were based on the same cash flow estimates used in determining the fair value of the covered loans. The FDIC loss share receivable was reduced as losses on coveredinterest income generated by loans were recognized and as loss sharing payments were received from the FDIC. Realized losses in excess of acquisition-date estimates resulted in an increase in the FDIC loss share receivable. Conversely, if realized losses were lower than the acquisition-date estimates, the FDIC loss share receivable was reduced by amortization to interest income. Effective October 31, 2017, the Companysecurities and the FDIC completed terminationinterest expense produced by deposits and borrowed funds.

NET INTEREST MARGIN
Measures net interest income as a percentage of the LSA.

At December 31, 2016, the Company held residential mortgage loans of $78.6 million that were in the process of foreclosure. The vast majority of such loans were covered loans. The Company had no residential mortgage loans that were in the process of foreclosure at September 30, 2017.

The following table presents information regarding the Company’s covered loans at December 31, 2016 that were 90 days or more past due:

As noted above, at December 31, 2016, the Company had $22.6 million of covered loans that were 30 to 89 days past due, and covered loans of $131.5 million that wereaverage interest-earning assets.


NON-ACCRUAL LOAN

A loan generally is classified as a “non-accrual” loan when it is 90 days or more past due but consideredor when it is deemed to be performing due to the application of the yield accretion method under ASC310-30. The remainder of the Company’s covered loan portfolio totaled $1.5 billion at December 31, 2016 and were considered current at that date.

Loans that may have been classified asnon-performing loans by AmTrust or Desert Hills wereimpaired because we no longer classified asnon-performing by the Company because, at the respective dates of acquisition, the Company believed that it would fully collect the new carrying value of these loans. The new carrying value represented the contractual balance, reduced by the portion that was expected to be uncollectible (i.e., thenon-accretable difference) and by an accretable yield (discount) that was recognized as interest income. It is important to note that management’s judgment was required in reclassifying loans subject to ASC310-30 as performing loans, and such judgment was dependent on having a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of the cash flows to be collected, even if the loan was contractually past due.

The primary credit quality indicator for covered loans is the expectation of underlying cash flows. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded recoveries of losses on covered loans of $23.7 million. The recoveries were largely due to an increase in expected cash flows in the acquired portfolios ofone-to-four family and home equity loans, and were partly offset by FDIC indemnification expense of $19.0 million that was recorded in“Non-interest income.”

The Company recovered losses on covered loans of $6.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, which was largely offset by FDIC indemnification expense of $4.8 million. In the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded recoveries of losses on covered loans of $1.3 million and FDIC indemnification expense of $1.0 million.

Allowance for Losses on Covered Loans

Covered loans were reported exclusive of the FDIC loss share receivable. The covered loans acquired in the AmTrust and Desert Hills acquisitions were reviewed for collectability based on the expectations of cash flows from these loans. Covered loans were aggregated into pools of loans with common characteristics. In determining the allowance for losses on covered loans, the Company periodically performed an analysis to estimate the expected cash flows for each of the pools of loans. The Company recorded a provision for (recovery of) losses on covered loans to the extent that the expected cash flows from a loan pool had decreased or increased since the acquisition date.

Accordingly, if there was a decrease in expected cash flows due to an increase in estimated credit losses (as compared to the estimates made at the respective acquisition dates), the decrease in the present value of expected cash flows was recorded as a provision for covered loan losses charged to earnings, and the allowance for covered loan losses was increased. A related credit tonon-interest income and an increase in the LSA are recognized at the same time, and measured based on the applicable loss sharing agreement percentage.

If there was an increase in expected cash flows due to a decrease in estimated credit losses (as compared to the estimates made at the respective acquisition dates), the increase in the present value of expected cash flows was recorded as a recovery of the prior-period impairment charged to earnings, and the allowance for covered loan losses was reduced. A related debit tonon-interest income and a decrease in the LSA was recognized at the same time, and measured based on the applicable Loss Share Agreement percentage.

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $359.1 million and $358.9 million, respectively, of outstanding junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (“junior subordinated debentures”) held by statutory business trusts (the “Trusts”) that issued guaranteed capital securities.

The Trusts are accounted for as unconsolidated subsidiaries, in accordance with GAAP. The proceeds of each issuance were invested in a series of junior subordinated debentures of the Company and the underlying assets of each statutory business trust are the relevant debentures. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations under each trust’s capital securities to the extent set forth in a guarantee by the Company to each trust. The Trusts’ capital securities are each subject to mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, upon repayment of the debentures at their stated maturity or earlier redemption.

Note 8. Mortgage Servicing Rights

The Company records a separate servicing asset representing the right to service third-party loans. Such MSRs are initially recorded at their fair value as a component of the sale proceeds. The fair values of MSRs are based on an analysis of discounted cash flows that incorporates estimates of (1) market servicing costs, (2) market-based estimates of ancillary servicing revenue, (3) market-based prepayment rates, and (4) market profit margins.

MSRs are subsequently measured at either fair value or are amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income. The Company elects one of those methods on a class basis. A class is determined based on (1) the availability of market inputs used in determining the fair value of servicing assets, and/or (2) the Company’s method for managing the risks of servicing assets.

As previously discussed, the Company completed the sale of its mortgage banking business in the third quarter of 2017, and consequently sold substantially all of its mortgage servicing assets. Accordingly, the value of the MSR asset declined to $6.9 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $225.4 million at June 30, 2017 and $234.0 million at December 31, 2016. These balances all consisted of two classes of MSRs for which the Company separately manages the economic risk: residential MSRs and participation MSRs (i.e., MSRs on loans sold through participations).

Residential MSRs are carried at fair value, and at September 30, 2017 reflected only loans sold through the FHLB’s Mortgage Partnership Finance Program, with changes in fair value recorded as a component ofnon-interest income in each period. The Company uses various derivative instruments to mitigate the income statement-effect of changes in fair value due to changes in valuation inputs and assumptions regarding its residential MSRs. The effects of changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recorded as “Mortgage banking income,” which is included in“Non-interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. MSRs do not trade in an active open market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company utilizes a third-party valuation specialist to determine the fair value of its MSRs. This specialist determines fair value based on the present value of estimated future net servicing income cash flows, and incorporates assumptions that market participants would use to estimate fair value, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rates, default rates, refinance rates, servicing costs, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and ancillary income. The specialist and the Company evaluate, and periodically adjust, as necessary, these underlying inputs and assumptions to reflect market conditions and changes in the assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing MSRs.

The value of residential MSRs at any given time is significantly affected by the mortgage interest rates that are then available in the marketplace. These, in turn, influence mortgage loan prepayment speeds. The rate of prepayment of serviced residential loans is the most significant estimate involved in the measurement process. Actual prepayment rates may differ from those projected by management due to changes in a variety of economic factors, including prevailing interest rates and the availability of alternative financing sources to borrowers.

During periods of declining interest rates, the value of residential MSRs generally declines as an increase in mortgage refinancing activity results in an increase in prepayments and a decrease in the carrying value of residential MSRs through a charge to earnings in the current period. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the value of residential MSRs generally increases as mortgage refinancing activity declines and the actual prepayments of loans being serviced occur more slowly than had been expected. This results in the carrying value of residential MSRs and servicing income being higher than previously anticipated. Accordingly, the value of residential MSRs that is actually realized could differ from the value initially recorded.

The collective amount of contractually specified servicing fees, late fees, and ancillary fees, which is recorded as “Mortgage banking income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income, was $483,000 and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and $351,000 and $983,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

Participation MSRs are initially carried at fair value and are subsequently amortized and carried at the lower of their fair value or amortized amount. The amortization is recorded in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated net servicing income, with impairment of those servicing assets evaluated through an assessment of their fair value via a discounted cash-flow method. The net carrying value is compared to the discounted estimated future net cash flows to determine whether adjustments should be made to carrying values or amortization schedules. Impairment of participation MSRs is recognized through a valuation allowance and a charge to current-period earnings if it is considered to be temporary, or through a direct write-down of the asset and a charge to current-period earnings if it is considered to be other than temporary. The predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans that are used to stratify the participation MSRs for measurement purposes generally include the (1) loan origination date, (2) loan rate, (3) loan type and size, (4) loan maturity date, and (5) geographic location. Changes in the carrying value of participation MSRs due to amortization or declines in fair value (i.e., impairment), if any, are reported in “Other income” in the period during which such changes occur. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there was no impairment related to the Company’s participation MSRs.

The following tables set forth the changes in the balances of residential MSRs and participation MSRs for the periods indicated:

   370   364 

90-119 days delinquent

   470   464 

120 days or more delinquent

   870   864 

The increase in the constant prepayment speed was primarily attributable to an increase in the housing price index used by the Company’s third-party valuation specialist, suggesting that homebuyer demand has increased and newly created equity could lead to more refinancing.

In connection with the aforementioned sale of the Company’s MSR portfolio, the Company will temporarily continue to service the $20.5 billion of loans and, consequently, the total unpaid principal balance of loans serviced for others remained largely unchanged at $24.5 billion and $25.1 billion at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Note 10. Stock-Based Compensation

At September 30, 2017, the Company had a total of 6,912,431 shares available for grants as options, restricted stock, or other forms of related rights under the New York Community Bancorp, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Stock Incentive Plan”), which was approved by the Company’s shareholders at its Annual Meeting on June 7, 2012. The Company granted 2,941,249 shares of restricted stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The shares had an average fair value of $15.18 per share on the date of grant and a vesting period of five years. The nine-month amount includes 122,500 shares that were granted in the third quarter with an average fair value of $12.95 per share on the date of grant. Compensation and benefits expense related to the restricted stock grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, and totaled $27.3 million and $24.6 million, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, including $9.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively, in the three months ended at those dates.

The following table provides a summary of activity with regard to restricted stock awards in the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

The Company had no stock options outstanding at September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements

GAAP sets forth a definition of fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring ornon-recurring basis. GAAP also clarifies that fair value is an “exit” price, representing the amount that would be received when selling an asset, or paid when transferring a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is thus a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability.

A financial instrument’s categorization within this valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following tables present assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods indicated, and that were included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition at those dates:

The Company reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications for its assets on a quarterly basis. Changes from one quarter to the next that are related to the observability of inputs for a fair value measurement may result in a reclassification from one hierarchy level to another.

A description of the methods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair values ofavailable-for-sale securities follows:

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities, exchange-traded securities, and derivatives.

If quoted market prices are not available for a specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models. These pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices, and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, models incorporate transaction details such as maturity and cash flow assumptions. Securities valued in this manner would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, and primarily include such instruments as mortgage-related and corporate debt securities.

Periodically, the Company uses fair values supplied by independent pricing services to corroborate the fair values derived from the pricing models. In addition, the Company reviews the fair values supplied by independent pricing services, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness. The Company challenges pricing service valuations that appear to be unusual or unexpected.

The Company carries loans held for sale at fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is primarily based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. Changes in the fair value of these assets are largely driven by changes in interest rates subsequent to loan funding, and changes in the fair value of servicing associated with the mortgage loans held for sale. Loans held for sale are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

MSRs do not trade in an active open market with readily observable prices. The Company bases the fair value of its MSRs on the present value of estimated future net servicing income cash flows, utilizing a third-party valuation specialist. The specialist estimates future net servicing income cash flows with assumptions that market participants would use to estimate fair value, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rates, default rates, refinance rates, servicing costs, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and ancillary income. The Company periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions to reflect market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing the MSR asset. MSR fair value measurements use significant unobservable inputs and, accordingly, are classified within Level 3.

Exchange-traded derivatives that are valued using quoted prices are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The majority of the Company’s derivative positions are valued using internally developed models that use readily observable market parameters as their basis. These are parameters that are actively quoted and can be validated by external sources, including industry pricing services. Where the types of derivative products have been in existence for some time, the Company uses models that are widely accepted in the financial services industry. These models reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, includingloan agreement. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, we cease the period to maturity, and market-based parameters such as interest rates, volatility, and the credit quality of the counterparty. Furthermore, many of these models do not contain a high level of subjectivity, as the methodologies used in the models do not require significant judgment, and inputs to the models are readily observable from actively quoted markets, as is the case for “plain vanilla” interest rate swaps and option contracts. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Derivatives that are valued based on models with significant unobservable market parameters, and that are normally traded less actively, have trade activity that isone-way, and/or are traded in less-developed markets, are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

The fair valuesaccrual of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) for residential mortgageowed, and previously accrued interest is reversed and charged against interest income. A loan generally is returned to accrual status when the loan is current and we have reasonable assurance that the loan will be fully collectible.


NON-PERFORMING LOANS AND ASSETS

Non-performing loans consist of non-accrual loans and loans that the Company intends to sell are based on internally developed models. The key model inputs primarily include the sum of the value of the forward commitment based on the loans’ expected settlement dates and the projected values of the MSRs, loan level price adjustment factors, and historical IRLC closing ratios. The closing ratio is computed by the Company’s mortgage banking operation and is periodically reviewed by management for reasonableness. Such derivatives are classified as Level 3.

While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate, and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair values of certain financial instruments could result in different estimates of fair values at a reporting date.

Fair Value Option

Loans Held for Sale

The Company has elected the fair value option for its loans held for sale. These loans held for sale consist ofone-to-four family mortgage loans, none of which was 90 days or more past due at September 30, 2017. Management believes that the mortgage banking business operates on a short-term cycle. Therefore, in order to reflect the most relevant valuations for the key componentsand still accruing interest. Non-performing assets consist of this business,non-performing loans, OREO and to reduce timing differences in amounts recognized in earnings,other repossessed assets.

OREO AND OTHER REPOSSESSED ASSETS

Includes real estate owned by the Company has elected to record loans held for sale at fair value to match the recognition of IRLCs, MSRs, and derivatives, all of which was acquired either through foreclosure or default. Repossessed assets are recorded at fair value in earnings. Fair value is based on independent quoted market prices of mortgage-backed securities comprised of loans with similar, features to those of the Company’s loans held for sale, where available, and adjusted as necessary for such items as servicing value, guaranty fee premiums, and credit spread adjustments.

The following table reflects the difference between the fair value carrying amount of loans held for sale, for which the Company has elected the fair value option, and the unpaid principal balance:

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows:

(1)Represents annualized loan repayment rate assumptions.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s MSRs are the weighted average constant prepayment rate and the weighted average discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in either of those inputs in isolation could result in significantly lower or higher fair value measurements. Although the constant prepayment rate and the discount rateexcept they are not directly interrelated, they generally move in opposite directions.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s IRLCs is the closing ratio, which represents the percentage of loans currently in an interest rate lock position that management estimates will ultimately close. Generally, the fair value of an IRLC is positive if the prevailing interest rate is lower than the IRLC rate, and the fair value of an IRLC is negative if the prevailing interest rate is higher than the IRLC rate. Therefore, an increase in the closing ratio (i.e., a higher percentage of loans estimated to close) will result in the fair value of the IRLC increasing if in a gain position, or decreasing if in a loss position. The closing ratio is largely dependent on the stage of processing that a loan is currently in, and the change in prevailing interest rates from the time of the interest rate lock.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on aNon-Recurring Basis

Certain assets are measured at fair value on anon-recurring basis. Such instruments are subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). The following tables present assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on anon-recurring basis as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and that were included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition at those dates:

Other Fair Value Disclosures

GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about the Company’son- andoff-balance sheet financial instruments. When available, quoted market prices are used as the measure of fair value. estate-related assets.


RENT-REGULATED APARTMENTS

In casesNew York City, where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on present-value estimates or other valuation techniques. Such fair values are significantly affected by the assumptions used, the timing of future cash flows, and the discount rate.

Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent market quotes. Furthermore, in many cases, the estimated fair values provided would not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of such instruments.

The following tables summarize the carrying values, estimated fair values, and fair value measurement levels of financial instruments that were not carried at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition at the dates indicated:

The methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair values for the Company’s financial instruments follow:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents are assumed to equal their carrying values, as these financial instruments are either due on demand or have short-term maturities.

Securities

If quoted market prices are not available for a specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. These pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices, and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, pricing models also incorporate transaction details such as maturities and cash flow assumptions.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

Ownership in equity securities of the FHLB is restricted and there is no established market for their resale. The carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Loans

The loan portfolio is segregated into various components for valuation purposes in order to group loans based on their significant financial characteristics, such as loan type (mortgage or other) and payment status (performing ornon-performing). The estimated fair values of mortgage and other loans are computed by discounting the anticipated cash flows from the respective portfolios. The discount rates reflect current market rates for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The estimated fair values ofnon-performing mortgage and other loans are based on recent collateral appraisals.

The methods used to estimate the fair values of loans are extremely sensitive to the assumptions and estimates used. While management has attempted to use assumptions and estimates that best reflect the Company’s loan portfolio and current market conditions, a greater degree of subjectivity is inherent in these values than in those determined in active markets. Accordingly, readers are cautioned in using this information for purposes of evaluating the financial condition and/or value of the Company in and of itself, or in comparison with that of any other company.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the Company bases the fair value of its MSRs on a valuation performed by a third-party valuation specialist. This specialist determines fair value based on the present value of estimated future net servicing income cash flows, and incorporates assumptions that market participants would use to estimate fair value, including estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rates, default rates, refinance rates, servicing costs, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, and ancillary income. The specialist and the Company evaluate, and periodically adjust, as necessary, these underlying inputs and assumptions to reflect market conditions and changes in the assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing MSRs.

Derivative Financial Instruments

For exchange-traded futures and exchange-traded options, fair value is based on observable quoted market prices in an active market. For forward commitments to buy and sell loans and mortgage-backed securities, fair value is based on observable market prices for similar loans and securities in an active market. The fair value of IRLCs forone-to-four family mortgage loans that the Company intends to sell is based on internally developed models. The key model inputs primarily include the sum of the value of the forward commitment based on the loans’ expected settlement dates, the value of MSRs arrived at by an independent MSR broker, government agency price adjustment factors, and historical IRLCfall-out factors.

Deposits

The fair values of deposit liabilities with no stated maturity (i.e., interest-bearing checking and money market accounts, savings accounts, andnon-interest-bearing accounts) are equal to the carrying amounts payable on demand. The fair values of CDs represent contractual cash flows, discounted using interest rates currently offered on deposits with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. These estimated fair values do not include the intangible value of core deposit relationships, which comprise a significant portion of the Company’s deposit base.

Borrowed Funds

The estimated fair value of borrowed funds is based either on bid quotations received from securities dealers or the discounted value of contractual cash flows with interest rates currently in effect for borrowed funds with similar maturities and structures.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

The fair values of commitments to extend credit and unadvanced lines of credit are estimated based on an analysis of the interest rates and fees currently charged to enter into similar transactions, considering the remaining terms of the commitments and the creditworthiness of the potential borrowers. The estimated fair values of suchoff-balance sheet financial instruments were insignificant at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of financial forward and futures contracts, interest rate swaps, IRLCs, and options. These derivatives relate to mortgage banking operations, residential MSRs, and other risk management activities, and seek to mitigate or reduce the Company’s exposure to losses from adverse changes in interest rates. These activities will vary in scope based on the level and volatility of interest rates, other changing market conditions, and the types of assets held.

In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company takes into account the impact of collateral and master netting agreements that allow it to settle all derivative contracts held with a single counterparty on a net basis, and to offset the net derivative position with the related collateral when recognizing derivative assets and liabilities. As a result, the Company’s Statements of Financial Condition could reflect derivative contracts with negative fair values that are included in derivative assets, and contracts with positive fair values that are included in derivative liabilities.

The Company held derivatives with a notional amount of $765.9 million at September 30, 2017. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reflected in current-period earnings. None of these derivatives are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

The Company uses various financial instruments, including derivatives, in connection with its strategies to reduce pricing risk resulting from changes in interest rates. Derivative instruments may include IRLCs entered into with borrowers or correspondents/brokers to acquire agency-conforming fixed and adjustable rate residential mortgage loans that will be held for sale, as well as Treasury options and Eurodollar futures.

The Company enters into forward contracts to sell fixed rate mortgage-backed securities to protect against changes in the prices of agency-conforming fixed rate loans held for sale. Forward contracts are entered into with securities dealers in an amount related to the portion of IRLCs that is expected to close. The value of these forward sales contracts moves inversely with the value of the loans in response to changes in interest rates.

To manage the price risk associated with fixed-ratenon-conforming mortgage loans, the Company generally enters into forward contracts on mortgage-backed securities or forward commitments to sell loans to approved investors. Short positions in Eurodollar futures contracts are used to manage price risk on adjustable rate mortgage loans held for sale.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the fair value of its residential MSRs. The Company also purchases put and call options to manage the risk associated with variations in the amount of IRLCs that ultimately close.

In addition, the Company mitigates a portion of the risk associated with changes in the value of its residential MSRs. The general strategy for mitigating this risk is to purchase derivative instruments, the value of which changes in the opposite direction of interest rates. This action partially offsets changes in the value of its servicing assets, which tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. Accordingly, the Company purchases Eurodollar futures and call options on Treasury securities, and enters into forward contracts to purchase mortgage-backed securities.

The Company has in place an enforceable master netting arrangement with every counterparty. All master netting arrangements include rights to offset associated with the Company’s recognized derivative assets, derivative liabilities, and the cash collateral received and pledged. Accordingly, the Company, where appropriate, offsets all derivative asset and liability positions with the cash collateral received and pledged.

Note 13. Segment Reporting

The Company’s operations are divided into two reportable business segments: Banking Operations and Residential Mortgage Banking. These operating segments have been identified based on the Company’s organizational structure. The segments require unique technology and marketing strategies, and offer different products and services. While the Company is managed as an integrated organization, individual executive managers are held accountable for the operations of these business segments.

The Company measures and presents information for internal reporting purposes in a variety of ways. The internal reporting system presently used by management in the planning and measurement of operating activities, and to which most managers are held accountable, is based on organizational structure.

The management accounting process uses various estimates and allocation methodologies to measure the performance of the operating segments. To determine financial performance for each segment, the Company allocates capital, funding charges and credits, certainnon-interest expenses, and income tax provisions to each segment, as applicable. Allocation methodologies are subject to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is revised and/or as business or product lines within the segments change. In addition, because the development and application of these methodologies is a dynamic process, the financial results presented may be periodically revised.

The Company seeks to maximize shareholder value by, among other means, optimizing the return on stockholders’ equity and managing risk. Capital is assigned to each segment, the combination of which is equivalent to the Company’s consolidated total, on an economic basis, using management’s assessment of the inherent risks associated with the respective segments.

The Company allocates expenses to the reportable segments based on various factors, including the volume and number of loans produced and the number of full-time equivalent employees. Income taxes are allocated to the various segments based on taxable income and statutory rates applicable to the segment.

Banking Operations Segment

The Banking Operations segment serves consumers and businesses by offering and servicing a variety of loan and deposit products and other financial services.

Residential Mortgage Banking Segment

The Residential Mortgage Banking segment originated, aggregated, sold, and servicedone-to-four family mortgage loans. Mortgage loan products consist primarily of agency-conforming, fixed and adjustable rate loans and, to a lesser extent, jumbo loans, for the purpose of purchasing or refinancingone-to-four family homes. The Residential Mortgage Banking segment earns interest on loans held in the warehouse andnon-interest income from the origination and servicing of loans. It also recognizes gains or losses on the sale of such loans.

Note 14. Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements, Not Yet Adopted

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2017-08, “Receivables- Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities” (“ASUNo. 2017-08”). ASUNo. 2017-08 shortens the amortization period of premiums on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The Company plans to adopt ASUNo. 2017-08 effective January 1, 2019 and the adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-04, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASUNo. 2017-04 eliminates the second step of the goodwill impairment test which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity will recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill recorded. ASUNo. 2017-04 does not amend the optional qualitative assessment of goodwill impairment. The Company plans to adopt ASUNo. 2017-04 beginning January 1, 2020 and its adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” ASUNo. 2016-15 addresses the following cash flow issues: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement ofzero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are

insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (including bank-owned life insurance policies); distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The Company plans to adopt ASUNo. 2016-15 beginning January 1, 2018 and its adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition or results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASUNo. 2016-13 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held on an amortized cost basis andavailable-for-sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, ASUNo. 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. Foravailable-for-sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however ASUNo. 2016-13 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases,off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company plans to adopt ASUNo. 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020, using the required modified retrospective approach, which includes presenting the cumulative effect of initial application along with supplementary disclosures. The Company is evaluating ASUNo. 2016-13, initiating implementation efforts across the Company, and planning for loss modeling requirements consistent with lifetime expected loss estimates. The adoption of ASUNo. 2016-13 could have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition and results of operations. The extent of the impact upon adoption will likely depend on the characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio and economic conditions at that date, as well as forecasted conditions thereafter.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASUNo. 2016-02 will require entities that lease assets to recognize as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet the respective rights and obligations created by those leases. ASUNo. 2016-02 also will require disclosures that include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The Company plans to adopt ASUNo. 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019 using the required modified retrospective approach, which includes presenting the cumulative effect of initial application along with supplementary disclosures. As a lessor and lessee, we do not anticipate the classification of our leases to change, but we expect to recognize substantially all of our leases for which we are the lessee as a lease liability and correspondingright-of-use asset on our Consolidated Statements of Condition. The Company has assembled a project management team and is presently evaluating all of its leases, as well as contracts that may contain embedded leases, for compliance with the new lease accounting rules.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASUNo. 2016-01 amends guidance on classification and measurement of financial instruments, including revisions in accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities when the fair value option is elected. ASU2016-01 also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. The company will adopt ASUNo. 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, and its adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which requires an entity to 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 Company will adopt ASUNo. 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which includes presenting the cumulative effect of initial application along with supplementary disclosures. ASUNo. 2014-09 does not apply to the vast majority of the properties securing our revenue streams, (i.e. interest income) and thereforemulti-family loans are not in scope. The remaining revenue streamslocated, the amount of rent that are in scope are de minimis and will not have a material impacttenants may be charged on the Company’s Consolidated Statementsapartments in certain buildings is restricted under rent-stabilization laws.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

At June 30, 2023, total assets were $118.8 billion, up $28.7 billion compared to December 31, 2022. Total deposits were $88.5 billion at June 30, 2023, up $29.8 billion from December 31, 2022. These year-to-date increases were primarily due to our March 20, 2023, assumption of a substantial amount of the deposits and book value per common share are financial measures that are recorded in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangiblecertain identified liabilities and the acquisition of certain assets and tangible book value per common share are not. It is management’s belief that thesenon-GAAP measures should be disclosed in this report and others we issuelines of business of Signature Bridge Bank, from the FDIC, as receiver for the following reasons:

1.Tangible common stockholders’ equity is an important indication of the Company’s ability to grow organically and through business combinations, as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies.

2.Tangible book value per common share and the ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are among the capital measures considered by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, the Company’s peers.

Tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, and the relatednon-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders’ equity, common stockholders’ equity, total assets, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate thesenon-GAAP measures may differ from that of other companies reportingnon-GAAP measures with similar names.

For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we generated2023, net income of $110.5was $413 million and netas compared to $2.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net income available to common shareholdersstockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $405 million, compared to $2.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Diluted EPS totaled $0.55 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $2.87 for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Second quarter 2023 and first quarter 2023 net income and diluted EPS were impacted by a bargain purchase gain of $102.3$141 million and $2.0 billion, respectively arising from the purchase and assumption of certain assets and liabilities in the Signature Transaction. Also included in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, were merger related and restructuring expenses of $109 million and $67 million, respectively, related to both the Signature Transaction and the Flagstar acquisition. In addition, first quarter 2023 results were impacted by an initial provision for credit losses totaling $132 million for the loans acquired in the Signature Transaction.

Loan Portfolio

At June 30, 2023, total C&I loans were $23.9 billion compared to $12.3 billion at December 31, 2022. The majority of the increase is attributable to the $10.0 billion of C&I loans acquired in the Signature Transaction along with growth in the mortgage warehouse portfolio. On a linked quarter basis, mortgage warehouse loans rose $638 million or $0.21 per diluted common share.

Resumption12 percent due to using our market position in this vertical to capitalize on several competitors exiting the market.


The multi-family loan portfolio was $37.8 billion at June 30, 2023, down slightly compared to $38.1 billion at December 31, 2022. The slight decline during this period was due to a combination of Meaningful Loan Growth

After not growinghigher interest rates and our increasing ability to diversify our loan portfolio as a result of our recent acquisition. At June 30, 2023, multi-family loans represented 45 percent of total loans, compared to 55 percent at December 31, 2022, further demonstrating the reduction of our concentration in this asset class.


Commercial loans (commercial real estate and acquisition, development and construction) increased $2.6 billion at June 30, 2023 to $13.1 billion compared to $10.5 billion at December 31, 2022 largely attributable to the Signature Transaction.

One-to-four family residential loans totaled $5.9 billion at June 30, 2023, representing seven percent of total loans compared to $5.8 billion or eight percent of total loans at December 31, 2022. Other loans totaled $2.6 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to $2.3 billion at December 31, 2022. The other loan portfolio consists mostly of consumer loans.

Loans held-for-sale at June 30, 2023 totaled $2.2 billion, up from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022.

Deposit Base

Deposits at June 30, 2023 totaled $88.5 billion up $29.8 billion compared to $58.7 billion at December 31, 2022 driven primarily by an increase to $5.9 billion of custodial deposits related to the Signature transaction.

Our deposit base includes $37.8 billion of uninsured deposits at June 30, 2023 a net increase of $18.2 billion as compared to December 31, 2022 due to the Signature Transaction. This represents 42.7 percent of our total deposits. These amounts were determined based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes and exclude internal accounts. We also have $37.7 billion of total ready liquidity (cash and cash equivalents, unpledged securities, Fed Funds access and FHLB borrowing capacity). Our total ready liquidity approximately matches the balance sheet for nearlyof our uninsured deposits.

Net Interest Income

For the three years, totalnon-coveredmonths ended June 30, 2023, net interest income totaled $900 million, up $345 million or 62 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The current quarter’s results include a full-quarter’s contribution from the Signature Transaction, compared to only a partial month Signature contribution in the first quarter of this year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the NIM was 3.21 percent up 61 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The linked-quarter improvement was due to the Signature Transaction which drove higher levels of average interest-earnings assets, specifically loans held for investment grew 2.7% overand average cash and cash equivalent balances, including custodial deposits related to the three monthsSignature Transaction. In addition, we continued to benefit from the higher interest rate environment, which positively impacted the yields on an annualized basis to $37.5 billion. Totalnon-covered mortgage loans held for investment grew at an annualized rate of 3.5% to $35.5 billion, including 4.3% annualized growth in our multi-family loan portfolio. This wasassets partially offset by a 2.4% (9.5% annualized) sequential decline in commercialhigher cost of funds and industrial (“C&I”) loans, largelyhigher average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-earning assets increased $25.6 billion or 30 percent to $112.3 billion, while the resultaverage yield rose 54 basis points to 5.34 percent. Average interest-bearing liabilities grew $7.2 billion or 10.28 percent to $77.4 billion, while the average cost of prepayments. Total loans originated for investmentfunds increased 24% on a sequential33 basis points to $2.3 billion, including 50% growth in multi-family originations and 30% growth in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loan originations.

We Maintained Our Solid Record of 3.10 percent.


Asset Quality

Non-performingnon-covered assets declined 7% to $84.7 million, or 0.17%, of totalnon-covered assets at the end of the current third quarter as compared to $91.6 million, or 0.20%, of totalnon-covered assets at June 30, 2017.Non-performingnon-covered loans decreased 16% to $69.0 million, or 0.18%, of totalnon-covered loans at the end of the current third quarter as compared to $82.0 million, or 0.22%, of totalnon-covered loans at June 30, 2017.

During the quarter,non-accrualnon-covered mortgage loans declined 22% to $24.3 million, while othernon-accrualnon-covered loans, which primarily consisted of taxi medallion-related loans, decreased 12% to $44.7 million. These improvements were partially offset by a 64% increase, to $15.8 million, innon-covered repossessed assets.

Net charge-offs for the current third quarter rose to $40.4 million, or 0.11%, of average loans compared to $11.4 million, or 0.03%, of average loans in


Our asset quality metrics remained strong during the second quarter of 2017. The increase was due2023 despite increases in NPLs and NPAs attributable to charge-offscertain loans acquired in the Signature Transaction and Flagstar acquisition. At June 30, 2023, NPAs to total assets equaled 0.21 percent compared to 0.14 percent at March 31, 2023 while NPLs to total loans equaled 0.28 percent compared to 0.20 percent at December 31, 2022. Repossessed assets of $13 million were relatively unchanged compared to the $13 million recorded in the prior quarter.

Recent Events

Declaration of Dividend on Common Shares

On July 25, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share on the taxi medallion-related loan portfolio. Taxi medallion-related loans accounted for $40.6 millionCompany's common stock. The dividend is payable on August 17, 2023 to common stockholders of this quarter’s charge-offs compared to $11.3 million in the trailing quarter. Excluding these charge-offs, the Company would have recorded net recoveries during the quarter. At September 30, 2017, the Company’s total taxi medallion-related exposure was $105.6 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income Was Pressured by

Net interest income is our primary source of income. Its level is a function of the Rise in Interest Rates

The FRB has raised its target federal funds rate four times sinceaverage balance of our interest-earning assets, the fourth quarteraverage balance of 2016, including in Marchour interest-bearing liabilities, and June of 2017. This increase in short-term interest rates led to an increase in ourthe spread between the yield on such assets and the cost of funds. As a resultsuch liabilities. These factors are influenced by both the pricing and mix of this factor, our net interest income fell $11.4 million, or 4% sequentially, and $42.1 million, or 13% year-over-year, to $276.3 millioninterest-earning assets and our net interest margin fell 12 and 38 basis points, respectively, to 2.53%interest-bearing liabilities which, in the third quarter of this year.

Ongoing Expense Control

Non-interest expense totaled $162.2 million in the current third quarter, down 1% from the trailing-quarter level and up modestly from the year-earlier quarter. Merger-related expenses were $2.2 million in the year-earlier period; there were no comparable expenses in the third quarter of 2017. The sequential improvement was largely due to lower operating expenses including compensation and benefits expense and general and administrative (“G&A”) expense.

External Factors

The following is a discussion of certainturn, are impacted by various external factors, that tend to influence our financial performanceincluding the local economy, competition for loans and deposits, the strategic actions we take:

Interest Rates

Amongmonetary policy of the external factors that tend to influence our performance, theFOMC, and market interest rate environment is key.

rates.


The cost of our deposits and short-term borrowed funds is largely based on short-term rates of interest, the level of which is partially impacted by the actions of the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (the “FOMC”). The FOMC reduces, maintains, or increasesFOMC.

While the target federal funds rate (the rate at which banks borrow funds overnight from one another) as it deems necessary. Since the fourth quarter of 2008, when the target federal funds rate was lowered to a range of 0% to 0.25%, the rate has been raised four times: on December 17, 2015, to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%; on December 14, 2016, to a range of 0.50% to 0.75%; on March 15, 2017, to a range of 0.75% to 1.00%; and most recently on June 14, 2017 to a range of 1.00% to 1.25%.

Just as short-term interest rates affectgenerally impacts the cost of our depositsshort-term borrowings and that of the funds we borrow, market interest rates affectdeposits, the yields on our held-for-investment loans and other interest-earning assets are not as sensitive to intermediate-term market interest rates.


11


Another factor that impacts the loans we produce for investment yields on our interest-earning assets—and our net interest income—is the securities in which we invest. As further discussed under “Loans Held for Investment” later on in this discussion, the interest rates onincome generated by our multi-family and CRE loans generally are basedand securities when they prepay. Since prepayment income is recorded as interest income, an increase or decrease in its level will also be reflected in the average yields (as applicable) on our loans, securities, and interest-earning assets, and therefore in our net interest income, our net interest rate spread, and our net interest margin.

It should be noted that the level of prepayment income on loans recorded in any given period depends on the five-year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate (“CMT”volume of loans that refinance or prepay during that time. Such activity is largely dependent on such external factors as current market conditions, including real estate values, and the perceived or actual direction of market interest rates. This impact is most prevalent in our multi-family portfolio. In addition, while a decline in market interest rates may trigger an increase in refinancing and, therefore, prepayment income, so too may an increase in market interest rates. It is not unusual for borrowers to lock in lower interest rates when they expect, or see, that market interest rates are rising rather than risk refinancing later at a still higher interest rate. The impact of prepayments on the current quarter was minimal.

Comparison to Prior Quarter

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $900 million, up $345 million or 62 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This quarter’s results include a full-quarter’s contribution from the Signature Transaction compared to only a partial month contribution in the first quarter of this year which is the primary cause of most of the linked-quarter differences explained below.

Interest income on mortgage and other loans, net, totaled $1.2 billion, up $294 million compared to first quarter of this year. This increase was driven by a $13.0 billion or 18.42 percent increase in average loan balances to $83.8 billion. This is primarily due to the full quarter activity related to the Signature Transaction. Additionally, we had a 63 basis points increase in the average loan yield to 5.55 percent from 4.92 percent in the prior quarter due primarily to the rising interest rate environment.

Interest income on securities was positively impacted by a 32 basis points increase in the average yield to 4.18 percent from 3.86 percent along with a $1.1 billion or 9.85 percent decrease in the average securities balance to $9.8 billion.

Interest income on cash and cash equivalents increased $177 million driven by a seven basis points increase in the average yield to 5.03 percent driven by higher short-term market rates, coupled with an increase in the average balance of $14.0 billion driven by the Signature Transaction.

Interest expense on average interest-bearing deposits increased $158 million to $441 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by a 58 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits due to rising interest rates and competition for deposits. Additionally, our average interest earning deposits grew $11.3 billion, or 23.69 percent, to $59.2 billion. The balance growth reflects the December acquisition of Flagstar and the March Signature Transaction.

Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $39 million or 20 percent to $157 million driven by a nine basis point decrease in rates in addition to a $4.1 billion or 18.5 percent decrease in the average balance to $18.2 billion, partially due to our shift to lower cost deposits.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net interest income totaled $1.5 billion, up $764 million or 111 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.The year-to-date results include a six month contribution from the Flagstar acquisition and three months plus a partial-month contribution from the Signature Transaction which were not part of the Company in the first half of 2022.

Interest income on mortgages and other loans, net was driven by a $31.0 billion or 66.7 percent increase in average loan balances to $77.5 billion. This is primarily driven by the December 2022 acquisition of Flagstar and the March 2023 Signature Transaction. Additionally, we had a 173 basis point increase in the average loan yield to 5.25 percent in the current year quarter due primarily to the rising interest rate environment.

12


Interest income on securities was positively impacted by a 175 basis point increase in the average yield to 4.01 percent from 2.26 percent along with a $3.7 billion or 56.1 percent increase in the average securities balance to $10.3 billion primarily driven by the six month contribution from the Flagstar acquisition.

Interest-earning cash and cash equivalents reflected a 438 basis point increase in the average yield to 5.02 percent driven by higher short-term market rates and an increase in the average balance of $8.9 billion driven by the Signature Transaction.

Interest expense on average interest-bearing deposits increased $651 million to $724 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by a 227 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits due to rising interest rates. Average interest earning deposits grew $20.7 billion, or 62.8 percent, to $53.6 billion. The balance growth primarily reflects the December acquisition of Flagstar and the March Signature Transaction.

Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $215 million or 156 percent to $353 million driven by a 176 basis point increase in rates in addition to a $4.5 billion or 28.3 percent increase in the average balance to $20.3 billion primarily driven by the December acquisition of Flagstar.

Net Interest Margin
The following table sets forth certain information regarding our average balance sheet for the periods indicated, including the average yields on our interest-earning assets and the average costs of our interest-bearing liabilities. Average yields are calculated by dividing the interest income produced by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Average costs are calculated by dividing the interest expense produced by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances for the periods are derived from average balances that are calculated daily. The average yields and costs include fees, as well as premiums and discounts (including mark-to-market adjustments from acquisitions), that are considered adjustments to such average yields and costs.

Comparison to Prior Quarter

The Company's net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was 3.21 percent up 61 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was driven by both a higher level of average earnings assets due to the Signature Transaction being included for the entire quarter compared to only a partial month during the first quarter of this year, along with higher yields on those assets. This was partially offset by a higher cost of funds and higher average interest-bearing liabilities reflecting a full quarter impact of the Signature Transaction.

Average interest-earning assets increased $25.6 billion or 29.58 percent to $112.3 billion, while the average yield rose 54 basis points to 5.34 percent. Average interest-bearing liabilities grew $7.2 billion or 10.28 percent to $77.4 billion, while the average cost of funds increased 33 basis points to 3.10 percent.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

The Company's net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was 2.94 percent compared to 2.48 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was driven by both a higher level of average earnings assets due to the Flagstar acquisition and Signature Transaction, along with significantly higher yields on those assets reflecting the higher interest rate environment. This was partially offset by a higher cost of funds and higher average interest-bearing liabilities.

Average interest-earnings assets increased $43.9 billion or 78.67 percent to $99.7 billion, while the average yield increased 186 basis points to 5.10 percent. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $25.1 billion or 51.61 percent to $73.9 billion, while the average cost of funds increased 207 basis points to 2.94 percent.

Provision for Credit Losses

Comparison to Prior Quarter

The three months ended June 30, 2023 provision for credit losses totaled $49 million including increases of $13 million related to specific reserves for new non-accrual loans and the remainder driven by changes in the macroeconomic forecast. The three months ended March 31, 2023 provision for credit losses was $170 million including a $132 million initial provision for credit losses related to the initial ACL measurement of non-PCD acquired loans from the Signature Transaction and a $20 million provision for credit losses on legacy Signature Bank debt securities held by the Company prior to the transaction. The remaining difference was primarily driven by loan growth and changes in the macroeconomic forecast.

The six months ended June 30, 2023 provision for credit losses was $219 million compared to $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The 2023 provision includes a $132 million initial provision for credit losses related to the initial ACL measurement of non-PCD acquired loans from the Signature Transaction, a $20 million provision for credit losses on Signature debt securities held by the Company. The remaining difference was primarily driven by loan growth, specific reserves for new nonaccrual loans and changes in the macroeconomic forecast.

For additional information about our methodologies for recording recoveries of, and provisions for, credit losses, please refer to Critical Accounting Policies in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is available on our website, under the Investor Relations section, or on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission, at sec.gov.

Non-Interest Income

We generate non-interest income through a variety of sources, including—among others—fee income (in the form of retail deposit fees and charges on loans); income from our investment in BOLI; net return on our MSR asset; net gain on loan sales and securitizations; and “other” sources, including the revenues produced through the sale of third-party investment products and loan subservicing.

The following table summarizes our non-interest income for the respective periods:

Comparison to Prior Quarter

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, non-interest income totaled $302 million as compared to $2.1 billion in the first quarter. The second quarter includes a bargain purchase gain of $141 million as compared to $2.0 billion in the first quarter related to the Signature transaction. Second-quarter 2023 non-interest income includes a full-quarter's contribution from Signature compared to a partial month in the first quarter. This benefited fee income and loan administration income which includes a $42 million benefit for income related to servicing loans on behalf of the FDIC receivership. Loan admin income otherwise decreased due to SOFR-referenced costs related to custodial deposits which are net settled as part of certain servicing contracts.
17



Second quarter 2023 non-interest income includes a gain on loan sales of $25 million compared to $20 million during the first quarter, with a gain on sale margin of 56 basis points compared to 76 basis points last quarter. The net return on mortgage servicing rights was $25 million or 9.7 percent for the second quarter compared to $22 million or 8.5 percent for the first quarter. Net loan administration income totaled $39 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 driven by subservicing income related to the Signature transaction.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Non-interest income increased $2.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to the bargain purchase gain of $2.1 billion related to the Signature Transaction. Increases in non-interest income were also driven by the inclusion of the Flagstar acquisition and Signature Transaction including a $63 million increase in fee income, net return on mortgage servicing rights of $47 million, gain on loan sales of $45 million and loan administration income of $46 million.

Non-Interest Expense

Comparison to Prior Quarter

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, non-interest expenses totaled $661 million, up $185 million, or 39 percent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 were $515 million, up $123 million compared to $392 million for the first quarter 2023. The increase was primarily driven by the second quarter 2023 including a full quarter of Signature expenses, including costs to retain key business personnel, compared to only a partial month during first-quarter 2023.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

Non-interest expense increased $858 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were up $639 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Both increases were primarily due the inclusion of Flagstar and Signature activity.

Income Tax Expense

Comparison to Prior Quarter

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported a provision for income taxes of $79 million compared $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Income tax expense for both the current quarter and for the first quarter 2023 was impacted the Signature Transaction and Flagstar acquisition, respectively. The effective tax rate was 16.2 percent for the second quarter 2023.

Comparison to Prior Year to Date

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reported a provision for income taxes of $80 million, compared to $111 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Income tax expense for the current year was impacted the Signature Transaction and Flagstar acquisition.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets increased $28.7 billion to $118.8 billion as of June 30, 2023, compared to $90.1 billion at December 31, 2022 due to the Flagstar acquisition which closed December 1, 2022, the Signature Transaction, which closed on March 20, 2023 and organic loan growth.

The Company acquired approximately $25 billion of cash, approximately $12 billion, of loans, net of purchase accounting adjustments ("PAA").

, $34 billion of deposits, net of PAA, and $2 billion of other liabilities related to the Signature Transaction.


18


Total loans and leases held for investment were $83.3 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to $69.0 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase was driven by the aforementioned loans acquired from the Signature Transaction and organic loan growth.

The securities portfolio totaled $7.8 billion at June 30, 2023, compared to $9.1 billion at December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has no held-to-maturity securities portfolio and all of the Company’s securities were designated as “Available-for-Sale”, unchanged from December 31, 2022.

Total deposits grew $29.8 billion, or 51 percent to $88.5 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to $58.7 billion at December 31, 2022 primarily driven by the deposits assumed in the Signature Transaction. Included in the June 30, 2023 balance are $5.9 billion in non-interest-bearing custodial deposits related to the Signature Transaction.

Wholesale borrowings at June 30, 2023 were $15.4 billion compared to $20.3 billion at December 31, 2022, reflecting the use of some of the cash acquired from the Signature transaction to reduce the level of FHLB-NY borrowings.

Changes in market interest rates generally have a lesser impact on our multi-family and CRE loan production than they do on other types of loans we produce. Because the multi-family and CRE loans we produce generate income when they prepay (which is recorded as interest income), the impact of repayment activity can be meaningful. In the third quarter of 2017, prepayment income from loans contributed $14.1 million to interest income; in the trailing and year-earlier quarters, the contribution was $13.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively.

Economic Indicators

While we attribute our asset quality to the nature of the loans we produce and our conservative underwriting standards, the qualitycomposition of our assets can also be impacted by economic conditions in our local markets and throughout the United States. The information that follows consists of recent economic data that we consider to be germane to our performance and the markets we serve.

Yet another pertinent economic indicator is the residential rental vacancy rate in New York, as reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the office vacancy rate in Manhattan, as reported by a leading commercial real estate broker, Jones Lang LaSalle. These measures are important in view of the fact that 64.7% of our multi-family loans and 70.0% of our CRE loans are secured by properties in New York, with Manhattan accounting for 26.9% and 51.3% of our multi-family and CRE loans, respectively.

As reflected in the following table, residential rental vacancy rates in New York increased year-over-year and linked-quarter, while office vacancy rates in Manhattan declined year-over-year and linked quarter.

Lastly, the Consumer Confidence Index® increased to 120.6 in September 2017 from 117.3 in June 2017 and 104.1 in September 2016. An index level of 90 or more is considered indicative of a strong economy.

Recent Events

Strategic Exit from the Mortgage Banking Business

On June 27, 2017, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to sell its mortgage banking business, which was acquired as part of its 2009 FDIC-assisted acquisition of AmTrust Bank (“AmTrust”), to Freedom Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom”). The sale of our mortgage banking business effectively takes the Company out of theone-to-four family residential wholesale lending business. Additionally, the Company received approval from the FDIC to sell the assets covered under our Loss Share Agreements (“LSA”) and entered into an agreement to sell the majority of ourone-to-four family residential mortgage-related assets, including those covered under the LSA, to FirstKey Mortgage, LLC, an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. (“Cerberus”).

On July 28, 2017, the Company completed the sale, resulting in the receipt of proceeds of $1.9 billion from Cerberus and the FDIC to sell the aforementioned loans and settle the related LSA, resulting in a gain of $74.6 million which is included in“Non-interest income” in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. Effective October 31, 2017, the Company and the FDIC completed termination of the LSA.

The sale of our mortgage banking business to Freedom, which included both our origination and servicing platforms, as well as our mortgage servicing portfolio with unpaid loan principal balances totaling $20.5 billion and related mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) asset of $208.8 million, closed on September 29, 2017. We received proceeds in the amount of $226.6 million, resulting in apre-tax gain of $7.4 million.

The decision to sell the mortgage banking business and the assets covered under our LSA was the result of an evaluation with the Board of Directors and our outside advisors. Selling to a large, national, full-service mortgage banking company that would keep certain employees and maintain operations in the region were important considerations during the evaluation process. These actions are consistent with the Company’s strategic objectives. Such sales allow the Company to focus on its core business model, including growth through acquisitions, generate liquidity which will be redeployed into higher-earning assets, and enhance returns through improved efficiencies.

The Community Bank’s mortgage banking operation originated, aggregated, sold, and servicedone-to-four family loans. Community banks, credit unions, mortgage companies, and mortgage brokers used its proprietaryweb-accessible mortgage banking platform to originate and closeone-to-four family loans nationwide. These loans were generally sold to GSEs, servicing retained. To a much lesser extent, the Community Bank used its mortgage banking platform to originate jumbo loans.

Declaration of Dividend on Common Shares

On October 24, 2017, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share on our common stock, payable on November 21, 2017 to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 7, 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider certain accounting policies to be critically important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, since they require management to make complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. The inherent sensitivity of our consolidated financial statements to these critical accounting policies, and the judgments, estimates, and assumptions used therein, could have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

We have identified the following to be critical accounting policies: the determination of the allowances for loan losses onnon-covered loans; the determination of the amount, if any, of goodwill impairment; and the determination of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.

The judgments used by management in applying these critical accounting policies may be influenced by adverse changes in the economic environment, which may result in changes to future financial results.

Allowance for Losses onNon-Covered Loans

The allowance for losses onnon-covered loans represents our estimate of probable and estimable losses inherent in thenon-covered loan portfolio as of the date of the balance sheet. Losses onnon-covered loans are charged against, and recoveries of losses onnon-covered loans are credited back to, the allowance for losses onnon-covered loans.

Althoughnon-covered loans are held by either the Community Bank or the Commercial Bank, and a separate loan loss allowance is established for each, the total of the two allowances is available to cover all losses incurred. In addition, except as otherwise noted in the following discussion, the process for establishing the allowance for losses onnon-covered loans is largely the same for each of the Community Bank and the Commercial Bank.

The methodology used for the allocation of the allowance fornon-covered loan losses at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was generally comparable, whereby the Community Bank and the Commercial Bank segregated their loss factors (used for both criticized andnon-criticized loans) into a component that was primarily based on historical loss rates and a component that was primarily based on other qualitative factors that are probable to affect loan collectability. In determining the respective allowances fornon-covered loan losses, management considers the Community Bank’s and the Commercial Bank’s current business strategies and credit processes, including compliance with applicable regulatory guidelines and with guidelines approved by the respective Boards of Directors with regard to credit limitations, loan approvals, underwriting criteria, and loan workout procedures.

The allowance for losses onnon-covered loans is established based on management’s evaluation of incurred losses in the portfolio in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and is comprised of both specific valuation allowances and general valuation allowances.

Specific valuation allowances are established based on management’s analyses of individual loans that are considered impaired. If anon-covered loan is deemed to be impaired, management measures the extent of the impairment and establishes a specific valuation allowance for that amount. Anon-covered loan is classified as “impaired” when, based on current information and/or events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We apply this classification as necessary tonon-covered loans individually evaluated for impairment in our portfolios. Smaller-balance homogenous loans and loans carried at the lower of cost or fair value are evaluated for impairment on a collective, rather than individual, basis. Loans to certain borrowers who have experienced financial difficulty and for which the terms have been modified, resulting in a concession, are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) and are classified as impaired.

We generally measure impairment on an individual loan and determine the extent to which a specific valuation allowance is necessary by comparing the loan’s outstanding balance to either the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to sell, or the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. Generally, when the fair value of the collateral, net of the estimated cost to sell, or the present value of the expected cash flows is less than the recorded investment in the loan, any shortfall is promptly charged off.

We also follow a process to assign general valuation allowances tonon-covered loan categories. General valuation allowances are established by applying our loan loss provisioning methodology, and reflect the inherent risk in outstandingheld-for-investment loans. This loan loss provisioning methodology considers various factors in determining the appropriate quantified risk factors to use to determine the general valuation allowances. The factors assessed begin with the historical loan loss experience for each major loan category. We also take into account an estimated historical loss emergence period (which is the period of time between the event that triggers a loss and the confirmation and/orcharge-off of that loss) for each loan portfolio segment.

The allocation methodology consists of the following components: First, we determine an allowance for loan losses based on a quantitative loss factor for loans evaluated collectively for impairment. This quantitative loss factor is based primarily on historical loss rates, after considering loan type, historical loss and delinquency experience, and loss emergence periods. The quantitative loss factors applied in the methodology are periodicallyre-evaluated and adjusted to reflect changes in historical loss levels, loss emergence periods, or other risks. Lastly, we allocate an allowance for loan losses based on qualitative loss factors. These qualitative loss factors are designed to account for losses that may not be provided for by the quantitative loss component due to other factors evaluated by management, which include, but are not limited to:

Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, andcharge-off and recovery practices;

Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments;

Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

Changes in the volume and severity ofpast-due loans, the volume ofnon-accrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

Changes in the quality of our loan review system;

Changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;

The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations;

Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; and

The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

By considering the factors discussed above, we determine an allowance fornon-covered loan losses that is applied to each significant loan portfolio segment to determine the total allowance for losses onnon-covered loans.

The historical loss period we use to determine the allowance for loan losses onnon-covered loans is a rolling27-quarter look-back period, as we believe this produces an appropriate reflection of our historical loss experience.

The process of establishing the allowance for losses onnon-covered loans also involves:

Periodic inspections of the loan collateral by qualifiedin-house and external property appraisers/inspectors;

Regular meetings of executive management with the pertinent Board committee, during which observable trends in the local economy and/or the real estate market are discussed;

Assessment of the aforementioned factors by the pertinent members of the Boards of Directors and management when making a business judgment regarding the impact of anticipated changes on the future level of loan losses; and

Analysis of the portfolio in the aggregate, as well as on an individual loan basis, taking into consideration payment history, underwriting analyses, and internal risk ratings.

In order to determine their overall adequacy, each of the respectivenon-covered loan loss allowances is reviewed quarterly by management and the Board of Directors of the Community Bank or the Commercial Bank, as applicable.

We charge off loans, or portions of loans, in the period that such loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. The collectability of individual loans is determined through an assessment of the financial condition and repayment capacity of the borrower and/or through an estimate of the fair value of any underlying collateral. Fornon-real estate-related consumer credits, the followingpast-due time periods determine when charge-offs are typically recorded:(1) Closed-end credits are charged off in the quarter that the loan becomes 120 days past due;(2) Open-end credits are charged off in the quarter that the loan becomes 180 days past due; and (3) Bothclosed-end andopen-end credits are typically charged off in the quarter that the credit is 60 days past the date we received notification that the borrower has filed for bankruptcy.

The level of future additions to the respectivenon-covered loan loss allowances is based on many factors, including certain factors that are beyond management’s control, such as changes in economic and local market conditions, including declines in real estate values, and increases in vacancy rates and unemployment. Management uses the best available information to recognize losses on loans or to make additions to the loan loss allowances; however, the Community Bank and/or the Commercial Bank may be required to take certain charge-offs and/or recognize further additions to their loan loss allowances, based on the judgment of regulatory agencies with regard to information provided to them during their examinations of the Banks.

An allowance for unfunded commitments is maintained separate from the allowances fornon-covered loan losses and is included in “Other liabilities” in the Consolidated Statements of Condition.

See Note 6, “Allowances for Loan Losses” for a further discussion of our allowance for losses on covered loans, as well as additional information about our allowance for losses onnon-covered loans.

Goodwill Impairment

We have significant intangible assets related to goodwill. In connection with our acquisitions, assets that are acquired and liabilities that are assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of our acquisitions over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, including other identified intangible assets. Our determination of whether or not goodwill is impaired requires us to make significant judgments and requires us to use significant estimates and assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows. If we change our strategy or if market conditions shift, our judgments may change, which may result in adjustments to the recorded goodwill balance.

We test our goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. These impairment evaluations are performed by comparing the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit to its estimated fair value. We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. Previously, we had identified two reporting units: our Banking Operations reporting unit and our Residential Mortgage Banking reporting unit. On September 29, 2017, the Company sold the Residential Mortgage Banking reporting unit; accordingly, we have identified only one reporting unit.

For annual goodwill impairment testing, we have the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill and other intangible assets. If we conclude that this is the case, we must perform thetwo-step test described below. If we conclude based on the qualitative assessment that it is notmore likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we have completed our goodwill impairment test and do not need to perform thetwo-step test.

Under step one of thetwo-step test, we are required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value, including goodwill and other intangible assets, of such reporting unit. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss is recognized and the second step, which is a calculation of the impairment, is not performed. However, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded equal to the extent that the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value.

Application of the impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. In assessing whether goodwill is impaired, we must make estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, long-term growth rates of our business, operating margins, discount rates, weighted average cost of capital, and other factors to determine the fair value of our assets. These estimates and assumptions require management’s judgment, and changes to these estimates and assumptions, as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions, could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or impairment. Future events could cause us to conclude that indicators of impairment exist for goodwill, and may result from, among other things, deterioration in the performance of our business, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws and regulations, competition, or the sale or disposition of a reporting unit. Any resulting impairment loss could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

As of September 30, 2017, we had goodwill of $2.4 billion. Our goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually at December 31st, or more frequently if conditions exist that indicate that the value may be impaired. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, no triggering events were identified that indicated that the value of goodwill might be impaired as of such date. We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2016 and, based on the results of our qualitative assessments, found no indication of goodwill impairment at that date.

Income Taxes

In estimating income taxes, management assesses the relative merits and risks of the tax treatment of transactions, taking into account statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance in the context of our tax position. In this process, management also relies on tax opinions, recent audits, and historical experience. Although we use the best available information to record income taxes, underlying estimates and assumptions can change over time as a result of unanticipated events or circumstances such as changes in tax laws and judicial guidance influencing our overall or transaction-specific tax position.

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and the carry forward of certain tax attributes such as net operating losses. A valuation allowance is maintained for deferred tax assets that we estimate are more likely than not to be unrealizable, based on available evidence at the time the estimate is made. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we estimate future taxable income, considering the prudence and feasibility of tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carry forwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be affected by changes to tax laws, statutory tax rates, and future taxable income levels. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income tax expense in the period in which that determination was made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through a decrease in income tax expense in the period in which that determination was made. Subsequently recognized tax benefits associated with valuation allowances recorded in a business combination would be recorded as an adjustment to goodwill.

Balance Sheet Summary

At September 30, 2017, we recorded total assets of $48.5 billion, a $110.2 million increase from the balance at June 30, 2017 and a $468.7 million decline from the balance at December 31, 2016. Loans, net, and securities represented $37.5 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively, of the September 30th balance and were down $1.4 billion and $140.1 million, respectively, from the trailingquarter-end balances and $1.9 billion and $786.0 million, respectively, from theyear-end balances.

Deposits and borrowed funds totaled $28.9 billion and $12.4 billion, respectively, at the end of the current third quarter. The current third quarter deposit balance was comparable to the balances at both the second quarter of this year and year end. Borrowed funds were unchanged from the priorquarter-end balance and declined $1.3 billion from year end.

Total stockholders’ equity rose $635.7 million from theyear-end 2016 balance, due primarily to a $502.8 million preferred stock offering in March, and $24.9 million from the June 30, 2017 balance, to $6.8 billion, at the current third-quarter end. Common stockholders’ equity represented 12.91% of total assets at September 30, 2017 compared to 12.89% and 12.31%, respectively, of total assets at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, and a book value per common share of $12.79 at September 30, 2017 compared to $12.74 at June 30, 2017 and $12.50 at September 30, 2016.

Loans

Loans, net, fell $1.4 billion from the trailingquarter-end and $1.9 billion from year end to $37.5 billion in the three months ended September 30, 2017, representing 77.3% of total assets at that date. Included in thequarter-end balance werenon-covered loans held for investment, net, of $37.3 billion, andnon-covered loans held for sale of $104.9 million, as more fully discussed below.

Non-Covered Loans Held for Investment

Non-covered loans held for investment totaled $37.5 billion at the end of the current third quarter, up $255.2 million from the June 30, 2017 balance and up $123.5 million from the balance at December 31, 2016. Loan originations increased $444.6 million, or 24%, sequentially, driven by 50% growth in multi-family originations and 30% growth in CRE originations.

Sales of participations totaled $37.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $148.2 million in the trailing three-month period. The pace of loan sale participations has declined due to the Company’s strategic decision to resume its balance sheet growth.

In addition to multi-family and CRE loans, theheld-for-investment portfolio includes substantially smaller balances ofone-to-four family loans, ADC loans, and other loans, with specialty finance loans and leases and other C&I loans comprising the bulk of the “Other loan” portfolio.

At September 30, 2017, loans secured by multi-family, CRE, and ADC properties (as defined in the FDIC’s CRE Guidance) represented 739.9% of the consolidated Banks’ total risk-based capital, within the 850% limit agreed to with our regulators.

Multi-Family Loans

Multi-family loans are our principal asset.


The multi-family loans we produce are primarily secured bynon-luxury residential apartment buildings in New York City that arefeature rent-regulated units and feature below-market rents—a market we refer to as our “primary lending niche.”

Multi-family loan originations represented $1.4 billion, or 62.0%, of theheld-for-investment loans we produced in the current third quarter, reflecting a linked-quarter increase of $480.2 million and a $156.1 million increase year-over-year. At September 30, 2017, multi-family loans represented $27.1 billion, or 72.4%, of totalnon-covered loans held for investment, reflecting a $286.2 million increase from the balance at June 30th and a $200.3 million increase from the balance at December 31st.

rents.


The average multi-family loan had a principal balance of $5.6 million at the end of the current third quarter, whichportfolio was modestly higher than the balances$37.8 billion at June 30, 2017 and2023, down slightly compared to $38.1 billion at December 31, 2016, respectively.

2022 due to a combination of higher interest rates and our loan diversification strategy.


The majority of our multi-family loans are made to long-term ownerswere secured by rental apartment buildings.

At June 30, 2023, $21.8 billion or 59 percent of residential apartment buildings with units thatthe Company’s total multi-family loan portfolio is secured by properties in New York State and, therefore, are subject to the new rent regulation and feature below-market rents. Our borrowers typically uselaws. The weighted average LTV of the funds we provide for future real estate investments, or to make building-wide improvements and renovations to certain units, New York State rent regulated multi-family portfolio was 61 percent as a result of which they are able to increase the rents their tenants pay. In this way, the borrower creates increased cash flows to service debt and borrow against in future years.

June 30, 2023, unchanged from December 31, 2022.


In addition to underwriting multi-family loans on the basis of the buildings’ income and condition, we consider the borrowers’ credit history, profitability, and building management expertise. Borrowers are required to present evidence of their ability to repay the loan from the buildings’ current rent rolls, their financial statements, and related documents.


While a small percentage of our multi-family loans areten-year fixed rate credits, the vast majority of our multi-family loans feature a term of ten or twelve years, with a fixed rate of interest for the first five or seven years of the loan, and an alternative rate of interest in years six through ten or eight through twelve. The rate charged in the first five or seven years is generally based on intermediate-term interest rates plus a spread.

During the remaining years, the loan resets to an annually adjustable rate that is tiedindexed to the prime rate of interest,CME Term SOFR , plus a spread. Alternately, the borrower may opt for a fixed rate that is tied to the five-year fixed advance rate of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (the“FHLB-NY”),FHLB-NY, plus a spread. The fixed-rate option also requires the payment of one percentage point of the then-outstanding loan balance. In either case, the minimum rate at repricing is equivalent to the rate in the initial five- orfive-or seven-year term. As the rent roll increases, the typical property owner seeks to refinance the mortgage, and generally does so before the loan reprices in year six or eight.

Our multi-family loans tend to refinance in approximately three years of origination; at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the weighted average life of the multi-family loan portfolio was 2.7 years, 3.2 years, and 2.9 years, respectively.


Multi-family loans that refinance within the first five or seven years are typically subject to an established prepayment penalty schedule. Depending on the remaining term of the loan at the time of prepayment, the penalties normally range from five percentage points to one percentage point of the then-current loan balance. If a loan extends past the fifth or seventh year and the borrower selects the fixed ratefixed-rate option, the prepayment penalties typically reset to a range of five points to one point over years six through ten or eight through twelve. For example, aten-year multi-family loan that prepays in year three would
20


generally be expected to pay a prepayment penalty equal to three percentage points of the remaining principal balance. A twelve-year multi-family loan that prepays in year one or two would generally be expected to pay a penalty equal to five percentage points.


Because prepayment penalties assessed to the borrower are recorded as interest income, they are reflected in the average yields on our loans and interest-earning assets, our net interest rate spread and net interest margin, and the level of net interest income we record. No assumptions are involved in the recognition of prepayment income, as such income is only recorded when the cash is received.

Our success as a multi-family lender partly reflects the solid relationships we have developed with the market’s leading mortgage brokers, who are familiar with our lending practices, our underwriting standards, and our long-standing practice of basing our loans on the cash flows produced by the properties. The process of producing such loans is generally four to six weeks in duration and, because the multi-family market is largely broker-driven, the expense incurred in sourcing such loans is substantially reduced.

At September 30, 2017,


We believe our underwriting quality of multi-family lending is distinctive. This reflects the majoritynature of the buildings securing our loans, our underwriting process and standards, and the generally conservative LTV ratios our multi-family loans were secured by rent-regulated rental apartment buildings. In addition, 64.7%feature at origination. Historically, a relatively small percentage of ourthe multi-family loans were secured by buildingsthat have transitioned to non-performing status have resulted in New York City and 5.5% were secured by buildings elsewhere in New York State. The remaining multi-family loans were secured by buildings outside these markets, including inactual losses, even when the four other states served by our retail branch offices.

Our emphasis on multi-family loans is driven by several factors, including their structure, which reduces our exposure to interest rate volatility to some degree. Another factor driving our focus on multi-family lendingcredit cycle has been the comparative quality of the loans we originate.

taken a downward turn.

We primarily underwrite our multi-family loans based on the current cash flows produced by the collateral property, with a reliance on the “income” approach to appraising the properties, rather than the “sales” approach. The sales approach is subject to fluctuations in the real estate market, as well as general economic conditions, and is therefore likely to be more risky in the event of a downward credit cycle turn. We also consider a variety of other factors, including the physical condition of the underlying property; the net operating income of the mortgaged premises prior to debt service; the debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”),DSCR, which is the ratio of the property’s net operating income to its debt service; and the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value (i.e., the LTV) of the property (“LTV”).

property.


In addition to requiring a minimum DSCR of 120%120 percent on multi-family buildings, we obtain a security interest in the personal property located on the premises, and an assignment of rents and leases. Our multi-family loans generally represent no more than 75%75 percent of the lower of the appraised value or the sales price of the underlying property, and typically feature an amortization period of 30 years. In addition, our multi-family loans may contain an initial interest-only period which typically does not exceed two years; however, these loans are underwritten on a fully amortizing basis.


Accordingly, while our multi-family lending niche has not been immune to downturns in the credit cycle, the limited number of losses we have recorded, even in adverse credit cycles, suggests that the multi-family loans we produce involve less credit risk than certain other types of loans. In general, buildings that are subject to rent regulation have tended to be stable, with occupancy levels remaining more or less constant over time. Because the rents are typically below market and the buildings securing our loans are generally maintained in good condition, they have been more likely to retain their tenants in adverse economic times. In addition, we exclude any short-term property tax exemptions and abatement benefits the property owners receive when we underwrite the cash flows of our multi-family loans.

In addition to customary fixed rate terms, we now also offer floating rates advances indexed to CME Term SOFR. These products are generally offered in combination with interest rate cap or swaps that provide borrowers with additional optionality to manage their interest rate risk. Following the initial fixed rate period, the loan resets to an adjustable interest rate that is indexed to CME Term SOFR, plus a spread. Alternately, the borrower may opt for a fixed rate that is tied to the five-year fixed advance rate of the FHLB-NY plus a spread.

The repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is often dependent on the successful operation and management of the underlying properties. To minimize our credit risk, we originate CRE loans in adherence with conservative underwriting standards, and require that such loans qualify on the basis of the property’s current income stream and DSCR. The approval of a loan also depends on the borrower’s credit history, profitability, and expertise in property management, and generally requires a minimum DSCR of 130%130 percent and a maximum LTV of 65%.

At June 30, 2023, our announcement that the Company was exiting the mortgage banking business, the September 30, 2017 balance ofone-to-four familyADC loans held for investment was relatively unchanged sequentially at $413.2 million, representing 1.1%represented $2.5 billion or 3.0 percent, of total loans held for investment, at that date.

Acquisition, Development, and Construction Loans

The balance of ADC loans increased $12.8 million to $385.9 million sequentially, representing 1.0% of totalheld-for-investment loans at the current third-quarter end. In the third quarter of 2017, we originated ADC loans of $21.8 million, a $918,000 increase from the trailing-quarter volume and a year-over-yearreflecting an increase of $3.9 million.

$485 million compared to December 31, 2022.


Because ADC loans are generally considered to have a higher degree of credit risk, especially during a downturn in the credit cycle, borrowers are required to provide a guarantee of repayment and completion. InThe risk of loss on an ADC loan is largely dependent upon the nine months ended Septemberaccuracy of the initial appraisal of the property’s value upon completion of construction; the developer’s experience; the estimated cost of construction, including interest; and the estimated time to complete and/or sell or lease such property.

When applicable, as a condition to closing an ADC loan, it is our practice to require that properties meet pre-sale or pre-lease requirements prior to funding.

C&I Loans

At June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recovered losses against guarantees of $321,000 and $314,000, respectively.

Specialty finance loans and leases represented the bulk of the quarter’s other loan originations, at $468.7 million, reflecting a $30.2 million decrease from the trailing-quarter level and a $99.4 million increase from the year-earlier amount. Other C&I loans represented $115.6 million of the other loans produced in the current third quarter, down $35.2 million and $35.7 million, respectively, from the volumes in the earlier periods.

Specialty Finance Loans and Leases

Our specialty finance subsidiary is based in Foxboro, Massachusetts, and staffed by a group of industry veterans with expertise in originating and underwriting senior secured debt and equipment loans and leases. The subsidiary participates in syndicatedwarehouse loans that are broughtallow mortgage lenders to us, and equipment loans and leases that are assigned to us, by a select groupfund the closing of nationally recognized sources, and generally are made to large corporate obligors, many of which are publicly traded, carry investment grade or near-investment grade ratings, and participate in stable industries nationwide.

residential mortgage loans.


The loans and leases we fund fall into three distinct categories: asset-based lending, dealer floor-plan lending, and equipment loan and lease financing. Each of these credits is secured with a perfected first security interest or outright ownership in the underlying collateral, and structured as senior debt or as anon-cancelable lease. The pricing of our asset-based and dealer floor-plan loans are at floating rates predominately tied to LIBOR, while our equipment financing credits are at fixed rates at a spread over Treasuries.

Since launching our specialty finance business in the third quarter of 2013, no losses have been recorded on any of the loans or leases in this portfolio.

Other Commercial and Industrial Loans

In contrast to the loans produced by our specialty finance subsidiary, the othernon-warehouse C&I loans we produce are primarily made to small andmid-size businesses in the five boroughs of New York City and on Long Island.finance companies. Such loans are tailored to meet the specific needs of our borrowers, and include term loans, demand loans, revolving lines of credit, and, to a much lesser extent, loans that are partly guaranteed by the Small Business Administration.


A broad range of other C&I loans, both collateralized and unsecured, are made available to businesses for working capital (including inventory and accounts receivable), business expansion, the purchase of machinery and equipment, and other general corporate needs. In determining the term and structure of other C&I loans, several factors are considered, including the purpose, the collateral, and the anticipated sources of repayment. Other C&I loans are typically secured by business assets and personal guarantees of the borrower, and include financial covenants to monitor the borrower’s financial stability.


23


Also included in our C&I portfolio is our national warehouse lending platform with relationship managers across the country. We offer warehouse lines of credit to other mortgage lenders which allow the lender to fund the closing of residential mortgage loans. Each extension, advance, or draw-down on the line is fully collateralized by residential mortgage loans and is paid off when the lender sells the loan to an outside investor or, in some instances, to 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. We have $6.0 billion outstanding warehouse loans to other mortgage lenders and have relationships in place to lend up to $11.6 billion at our discretion.

The interest rates on our other C&I loans can be fixed or floating, with floating ratefloating-rate loans being tied to SOFR, prime or some other market index, plus an applicable spread. Our floating ratefloating-rate loans may or may not feature a floor rate of interest. The decision to require a floor on other C&I loans depends on the level of competition we face for such loans from other institutions, the direction of market interest rates, and the profitability of our relationship with the borrower.

Lending Authority


Specialty Finance

At June 30, 2023, specialty finance loans and leases totaled $4.8 billion or 6 percent of total loans held for investment, up $393 million or 9 percent compared to December 31, 2022.

We produce our specialty finance loans and leases through a subsidiary that is staffed by a group of industry veterans with expertise in originating and underwriting senior securitized debt and equipment loans and leases. The subsidiary participates in syndicated loans that are brought to them, and equipment loans and leases that are assigned to them, by a select group of nationally recognized sources, and are generally made to large corporate obligors, many of which are publicly traded, carry investment grade or near-investment grade ratings, and participate in stable industries nationwide.

The specialty finance loans and leases we fund fall into three categories: asset-based lending, dealer floor-plan lending, and equipment loan and lease financing. Each of these credits is secured with a perfected first security interest in, or outright ownership of, the underlying collateral, and structured as senior debt or as a non-cancelable lease.As of June 30, 2023, 81 percent of specialty finance loan commitments are structured as floating rate obligations which will benefit in a rising rate environment.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company originated $1.9 billion of specialty finance loans and leases, representing 38 percent of total originations compared to $1.9 billion for the same period in 2022, representing 36 percent of total originations.

Since launching our specialty finance business in the third quarter of 2013, no losses have been recorded on any of the loans or leases in this portfolio.

One-to-Four Family Loans

At June 30, 2023, one-to-four family loans represented $5.9 billion, including $947 million of LGG or 7.1 percent, of total loans held for investment. As of June 30, 2023, the repurchase liability on LGG loans was $333 million. As of December 31, 2022 one-to-four family loans totaled $5.8 billion. These loans include 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. We typically hold certain mortgage loans in LHFI that do not qualify for sale to the Agencies and that have an acceptable yield and risk profile. The LTV requirements on our residential first mortgage loans vary depending on occupancy, property type, loan amount, and FICO scores. Loans with LTVs exceeding 80 percent are required to obtain mortgage insurance. As of June 30, 2023, non-government guaranteed loans in this portfolio had an average current FICO score of 741 and an average LTV of 54.

Substantially all LGG are insured or guaranteed by the FHA or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 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 60 days delinquent until the loan is conveyed to HUD (if foreclosure timelines are met), which is not paid by the FHA until claimed. The Bank has a unilateral option to repurchase loans sold to GNMA if the loan is due, but unpaid, for three consecutive months (typically referred to as 90 days past due) and can recover losses through a claims process from the guarantor. These loans are recorded in loans held for investment and the liability to repurchase the loans is recorded in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Certain loans within our portfolio may be subject to indemnifications and insurance limits which expose us to limited credit risk. We have reserved for these risks within other assets and as a component of our ACL on residential first mortgages.

Other Loans

At June 30, 2023, other loans totaled $2.6 billion and consisted primarily of home equity lines of credit, boat and recreational vehicle indirect lending, point of sale consumer loans and other consumer loans, including overdraft loans.

Our home equity portfolio includes HELOANs, second mortgage loans, and HELOCs. These loans are underwritten and priced in an effort to ensure credit quality and loan profitability. Our debt-to-income ratio on HELOANs and HELOCs is capped at 43 percent and 45 percent, respectively. We currently limit the maximum CLTV to 89.99 percent and FICO scores to a minimum of 700. Second mortgage loans and HELOANs are fixed rate loans and are available with terms up to 20 years. HELOC loans are primarily variable-rate loans that contain a 10-year interest only draw period followed by a 20-year amortizing period. As of June 30, 2023, loans in this portfolio had an average current FICO score of 751.

As of June 30, 2023, loans in our indirect portfolio had an average current FICO score of 747. Point of sale loans consist of unsecured consumer installment loans originated primarily for home improvement purposes through a third-party financial technology company who also provides us a level of credit loss protection.
Loans Held for Sale

Loans held-for-sale at June 30, 2023 totaled $2.2 billion, up from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022. The Signature Transaction contributed $360 million of Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans to this increase. We classify loans as held for sale when we originate or purchase loans that we intend to sell. We have elected the fair value option for investment are subjectnearly all of this portfolio, except the SBA loans. We estimate the fair value of mortgage loans based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans, where available, or by discounting estimated cash flows using observable inputs inclusive of interest rates, prepayment speeds and loss assumptions for similar collateral.

Lending Authority

We maintain credit limits in compliance with regulatory requirements. Under regulatory guidance, the Bank may not make a loan or extend credit to federala single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15 percent of Tier 1 plus Tier 2 capital and state lawsany portion of the ACL not included in Tier 2 capital. We have a tracking and regulations,reporting process to monitor lending concentration levels, and are underwritten in accordance with loan underwriting policiesall new commercial real estate credit exposures to relationships that exceed $200 million and proceduresall other commercial credit exposures to relationships that exceed $100 million must be approved by the Mortgage and Real Estate Committee of the Community Bank (the “Mortgage Committee”), theBoard Credit Committee of the Commercial Bank (the “Credit Committee”), andBoard. Exceptions to these levels are made to strong borrowers on a case by case basis, with the respective Boards of Directorsapproval of the Banks.

Prior to 2017, all loans originatedBoard Credit Committee of the Board. Relationships less than the aforementioned limits are approved by the Banks were presented to the Mortgage Committee or thejoint authority of credit officers and lending officers.

Furthermore, all loans of $20.0 million or more originated by the Community Bank, and all loans of $10.0 million or more originated by the Commercial Bank, were reported to the applicable Board of Directors.One-to-four family mortgage loans were approved byline-of-business personnel having underwriting authority pursuant to a separate policy applicable to our mortgage banking segment.

Effective January 27, 2017, and in accordance with the Banks’ credit policies, all loans other thanone-to-four family mortgage loans and C&I loans less than or equal to $3.0 million are required to be presented to the Management Credit Committee for approval. All multi-family, CRE, and “other” C&I loans in excess of $5.0 million, and specialty finance loans in excess of $15.0 million, are also required to be presented to the Mortgage Committee or the Credit Committee, as applicable, so that the Committees can review the loans’ associated risks. The Committees havehas authority to direct changes in lending practices as they deem necessary or appropriate in order to address individual or aggregate risks and credit exposures in accordance with the Banks’Bank’s strategic objectives and risk appetites.

All mortgage loans in excess of $50.0 million and all “other” C&I loans in excess of $5.0 million require approval by the Mortgage Committee or the Credit Committee. Credit Committee approval also is required for specialty finance loans in excess of $15.0 million.

In addition, all loans of $20.0 million or more originated by the Community Bank, and all loans of $10.0 million or more originated by the Commercial Bank, continue to be reported to the applicable Board of Directors, and allone-to-four family mortgage loans and C&I loans less than or equal to $3.0 million continue to be approved byline-of-business personnel.


At SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, the largest mortgage loan in our portfolio was a $329 million multi-family loan, originatedwhich is collateralized by the Community Bank on June 28, 2013 to the owner of a commercial office buildingproperties located in Manhattan.Brooklyn, New York. As of the date of this report, the loan has been current since origination. The balance of the loan was $287.5 million at both period-ends.

In view of the heightened regulatory focus on CRE concentration, we monitor the ratio of our multi-family, CRE, and ADC loans (as defined in the FDIC’s CRE Guidance) to our total risk-based capital to ensure

At September 30, 2017, the largest concentration ofone-to-four familynon-performing loans held for investment was located in California, with a total of $202.2 million; the largest concentration of ADC loans held for investment was located in New York City, with a total of $282.5 million. The majority of our other loans held for investment were secured by properties and/or businesses located in Metro New York.

Non-Covered Loans Held for Sale

At September 30, 2017,non-covered loans held for sale were $104.9 million, down $304.2 million from the level at December 31, 2016. The decline is attributable to our exit from the mortgage banking business. The Company expects a majority of the current-period balance to be sold during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Outstanding Loan Commitments

At September 30, 2017, we had outstanding loan commitments of $2.2 billion, down $248.4 million from the level at June 30, 2017. Commitments to originate loans held for investment represented $2.1 billion of the September 30th total, and commitments to originate loans held for sale represented the remaining $50.4 million. At December 31, 2016, the respective commitments were $1.8 billion and $242.5 million.

Multi-family, CRE, and ADC loans together represented $814.5 million ofheld-for-investment loan commitments at the end of the third quarter, while other loans represented $1.3 billion, respectively. Included in the latter amount were commitments to originate specialty finance loans and leases of $901.9 million and commitments to originate other C&I loans of $403.8 million.

In addition to loan commitments, we had commitments to issue financialstand-by, performancestand-by, and commercial letters of credit totaling $339.6 million at September 30, 2017, a $20.7 million decrease from the volume at June 30th. The fees we collect in connection with the issuance of letters of credit are included in “Fee income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Non-Covered Loans Held for Investment andNon-Covered Repossessed Assets

Non-performingnon-covered assets represented $84.7 million, or 0.17%, of totalnon-covered assets at September 30, 2017, as compared to $91.6 million, or 0.20% at June 30, 2017 and $68.1 million, or 0.14%, of totalnon-covered assets, at December 31, 2016. The $6.9 million decrease was the net effect of a $13.0 million decline innon-performingnon-covered loans to $69.0 million, and a $6.2 million increase innon-covered repossessed assets to $15.8 million.Non-performingnon-covered loans represented 0.18% of totalnon-covered loans at the end of the third quarter, compared to 0.22% at June 30th and 0.15% at December 31st.

The increase in bothnon-performingnon-covered loans andnon-performingnon-covered assets in the current nine-month period was largely attributable to the transition tonon-accrual status of taxi medallion-related loans. As reflected in the tables featured later in this discussion, the balance ofnon-accrualnon-covered mortgage loans declined $14.4 million from theyear-end balance to $24.3 million, while the balance ofnon-accrualnon-covered other loans rose $26.9 million to $44.7 million. Taxi medallion-related loans accounted for $43.4 million of this total.

In addition, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $40.4 million during the current third quarter, representing 0.11% of average loans.

A loan generally is classified as a“non-accrual” “non-accrual” loan when it is 90 days or more past due or when it is deemed to be impaired because we no longer expect to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is placed onnon-accrual status, we cease the accrual of interest owed, and previously accrued interest is reversed and charged against interest income. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, all of ournon-performing loans werenon-accrual loans. A loan is generally returned to accrual status when the loan is current and we have reasonable assurance that the loan will be fully collectible.


We monitornon-accrual loans both within and beyond our primary lending area in the same manner. Monitoring loans generally involves inspecting andre-appraising the collateral properties; holding discussions with the principals and managing agents of the borrowing entities and/or retainedand retain legal counsel, as applicable; requesting financial, operating, and rent roll information; confirming that hazard insurance is in place or force-placing such insurance; monitoring tax payment status andstatus. advancing funds as needed; and appointingseeking approval from the courts to appoint a receiver, whenever possible,when necessary to protect the Bank’s interests, including to collect rents, manage theproperty operations, provide information, and maintainensure maintenance of the collateral properties.


It is our policy to order updated appraisals for allnon-performing loans 90 days or more past due, irrespective of loan type, that are collateralized by multi-family buildings, CRE properties, or land, in the event that such a loan is 90 days or more past due, and if the most recent appraisal on file for the property is more than one year old. Appraisals are ordered annually until such time as the loan becomes performing and is returned to accrual status. It is not our policy to obtain updated appraisals for performing loans. However, appraisals may be ordered for performing loans when a borrower requests an increase in the loan amount, a modification in loan terms, or an extension of a maturing loan. We do not analyze current LTVs on a portfolio-wide basis.

At June 30, 2023 total non-accrual mortgage loans increased $29 million to $154 million, while other non-accrual loans increased $63 million to $79 million compared December 31, 2022. Included in the June 30, 2023 amount were non-accrual loans of $44 million acquired in the Signature Transaction.

At June 30, 2023, NPAs to total assets equaled 0.21 percent compared to 0.14 percent at March 31, 2023 while NPLs to total loans equaled 0.28 percent compared to 0.20 percent at December 31, 2022. Repossessed assets of $13 million were relatively unchanged compared to the $13 million recorded in the prior quarter.
Non-performing loans are reviewed regularly by management and discussed on a monthly basis with the Mortgage Committee, theBoard Credit Committee, and the BoardsBoard of Directors of the respective Banks,Bank, as applicable. In accordance with ourcharge-off policy, collateral-dependentnon-performing loans are written down to their current appraised values, less certain transaction costs. Workout specialists from our Loan Workout Unit actively pursue borrowers who are delinquent in repaying their loans in an effort to collect payment. In addition, outside counsel with experience in foreclosure proceedings are retained to institute such action with regard to such borrowers.


Properties and other assets that are acquired through foreclosure are classified as OREO,repossessed assets, and are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, less the estimated cost of selling the property. Subsequent declines in the fair value of OREOthe assets are charged to earnings and are included innon-interest expense. It is our policy to require an appraisal and an environmental assessment of properties classified as OREO before foreclosure, and tore-appraise the properties on anas-needed basis, and not less than annually, until they are sold. We dispose of such properties as quickly and prudently as possible, given current market conditions and the property’s condition.


27


To mitigate the potential for credit losses, we underwrite our loans in accordance with credit standards that we consider to be prudent. In the case of multi-family and CRE loans, we look first at the consistency of the cash flows being generated by the property to determine its economic value using the “income approach,” and then at the market value of the property that collateralizes the loan. The amount of the loan is then based on the lower of the two values, with the economic value more typically used.


The condition of the collateral property is another critical factor. Multi-family buildings and CRE properties are inspected from rooftop to basement as a prerequisite to approval, with a member of the Mortgage or Credit Committee participating in inspections on multi-family loans to be originated in excess of $7.5 million, and a member of the Mortgage or Credit Committee participating in inspections on CRE loans to be originated in excess of $4.0 million.approval. Furthermore, independent appraisers, whose appraisals are carefully reviewed by our experiencedin-house appraisal officers and staff, perform appraisals on collateral properties. In many cases, a second independent appraisal review is performed.


In addition, we work with a select group of mortgage brokers who are familiar with our credit standards and whose track record with our lending officers is typically greater than ten years. Furthermore, in New York City, where the majority of the buildings securing our multi-family loans are located, the rents that tenants may be charged on certain apartments are typically restricted under certain rent-control or rent-stabilization laws. As a result, the rents that tenants pay for such apartments are generally lower than current market rents. Buildings with a preponderance of such rent-regulated apartments are less likely to experience vacancies in times of economic adversity.


Reflecting the strength of the underlying collateral for these loans and the collateral structure, a relatively small percentage of ournon-performing multi-family loans have resulted in losses over time.


To further manage our credit risk, our lending policies limit the amount of credit granted to any one borrower, and typically require minimum DSCRs of 120%120 percent for multi-family loans and 130%130 percent for CRE loans. Although we typically lend up to 75%75 percent of the appraised value on multi-family buildings and up to 65%65 percent on commercial properties, the average LTVs of such credits at origination were below those amounts at SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2023. Exceptions to these LTV limitations are minimal and are reviewed on acase-by-case basis.


The repayment of loans secured by commercial real estate is often dependent on the successful operation and management of the underlying properties. To minimize our credit risk, we originate CRE loans in adherence with conservative underwriting standards, and require that such loans qualify on the basis of the property’s current income stream and DSCR. The approval of a CRE loan also depends on the borrower’s credit history, profitability, and expertise in property management. Given that our CRE loans are underwritten in accordance with underwriting standards that are similar to those applicable to our multi-family credits, the percentage of ournon-performing CRE loans that have resulted in losses has been comparatively small over time.

Multi-family and CRE loans are generally originated at conservative LTVs and DSCRs, as previously stated. Low LTVs provide a greater likelihood of full recovery and reduce the possibility of incurring a severe loss on a credit; in many cases, they reduce the likelihood of the borrower “walking away” from the property. Although borrowers may default on loan payments, they have a greater incentive to protect their equity in the collateral property and to return their loans to performing status. Furthermore, in the case of multi-family loans, the cash flows generated by the properties are generally below-market and have significant value.

With regard to ADC loans, we typically lend up to 75%75 percent of the estimatedas-completed market value of multi-family and residential tract projects; however, in the case of home construction loans to individuals, the limit is 80%.80 percent. With respect to commercial construction loans, we typically lend up to 65%65 percent of the estimatedas-completed market value of the property. Credit risk is also managed through the loan disbursement process. Loan proceeds are disbursed periodically in increments as construction progresses, and as warranted by inspection reports provided to us by our own lending officers and/or consulting engineers.


To minimize the risk involved in specialty finance lending and leasing, each of our credits is secured with a perfected first security interest or outright ownership in the underlying collateral, and structured as senior debt or as anon-cancellable lease. To further minimize the risk involved in specialty finance lending and leasing, were-underwrite each transaction. In addition, we retain outside counsel to conduct a further review of the underlying documentation.


Other C&I loans generally represent loans to commercial businesses which meet certain desired client characteristics and credit standards.The credit standards for commercial borrowers are typically underwrittenbased on the basisnumerous criteria, including historical and projected financial information, strength of the cash flows produced bymanagement, acceptable collateral, and market conditions and trends in the borrower’s business, andindustry.These loans are generally collateralized by various business assets, including, but not limited to, inventory, equipment, and accounts receivable. As a result, the capacity of the borrower to repay is substantially dependent on the degree tovariable rate loans in which the business is successful. Furthermore, the collateral underlying the loan may depreciate over time, may not be conducive to appraisal, and may fluctuate in value, based upon the operating results of the business. Accordingly, personal guarantees are alsointerest rate fluctuates with a normal requirement for other C&I loans.

In addition,one-to-four family loans, ADC loans, and other loans represented 1.1%, 1.0%, and 5.3%, respectively, of totalnon-covered loans held for investment at September 30, 2017, comparable to, or consistent with, the levels at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The procedures we follow with respect to delinquent loans are generally consistent across all categories, with late charges assessed, and notices mailed to the borrower, at specified dates. We attempt to reach the borrower by telephone to ascertain the reasons for delinquency and the prospects for repayment. When contact is made with a borrower at any time prior to foreclosure or recovery against collateral property, we attempt to obtain full payment, and will consider a repayment schedule to avoid taking such action. Delinquencies are addressed by our Loan Workout Unit and every effort is made to collect rather than initiate foreclosure proceedings.

Fair values for all multi-family buildings, CRE properties, and land are determined based on the appraised value. If an appraisal is more than one year old and the loan is classified as eithernon-performing or as an accruing TDR,TDM, then an updated appraisal is required to determine fair value. Estimated disposition costs are deducted from the fair value of the property to determine estimated net realizable value. In the instance of an outdated appraisal on an impaired loan, we adjust the original appraisal by using a third-party index value to determine the extent of impairment until an updated appraisal is received.


While we strive to originate loans that will perform fully, adverse economic and market conditions, among other factors, can adverselynegatively impact a borrower’s ability to repay. Largely reflectingHistorically, our level of net charge-offs in our multifamily and specialty finance portfolios have been relatively low in downward credit cycles, even when the naturevolume of non-performing loans has increased. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, our primary lending niche and our conservative underwriting standards, we recorded aggregate net recoveries were $1 million as compared to net recoveries of $5 million over the same period in 2022.

The allowance for credit losses on our core multi-familyloans and CRE portfoliosleases increased $201 million, equaling $594 million at June 30, 2023 from $393 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily related to the initial allowance for credit losses of $132 million for the acquired loans in the third quarterSignature Transaction, an increase of 2017.

Reflecting management’s assessment$13 million in specific reserves primarily related to two loans that have moved to nonaccrual and an increase of the$56 million primarily related to our worsening forecast of macroeconomic conditions and origination volume since year-end. The allowance fornon-covered loan credit losses we recorded a $44.6 million provision for such losses in the current third quarter,on loans and leases represented 255 percent of non-performing loans at June 30, 2023, as compared to $11.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in279 percent at the trailing and year-earlier three months. Reflecting the third-quarter provision, and the aforementioned net charge-offs, the allowance for losses onnon-covered loans increased to $158.9 million at September 30, 2017. This represented 0.42% of totalnon-covered loans and 230.42% ofnon-performingnon-covered loans at that date.

prior year-end.


Based upon all relevant and available information as of the end of the current third quarter,at June 30, 2023, management believes that the allowance for credit losses onnon-covered loans was appropriate at that date.

At September 30, 2017, our three largestnon-performing loans were a C&I loan with a balance of $7.8 million, a multi-family loan with a balance of $7.6 million, and an ADC loan with a balance of $6.2 million.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In an effort to proactively manage delinquent loans, we have selectively extended to certain borrowers such concessions as rate reductions and extensions of maturity dates, as well as forbearance agreements, when such borrowers have exhibited financial difficulty. In accordance with GAAP, we are required to account for such loan modifications or restructurings as TDRs.

The eligibility of a borrower forwork-out concessions of any nature depends upon the facts and circumstances of each transaction, which may change from period to period, and involve management’s judgment regarding the likelihood that the concession will result in the maximum recovery for the Company.

Loans modified as TDRs are placed onnon-accrual status until we determine that future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured. This generally requires that the borrower demonstrate performance according to the restructured terms for at least six consecutive months. At September 30, 2017,non-accrual TDRs included taxi medallion-related loans with a combined balance of $43.4 million.

At September 30, 2017, loans on which concessions were made with respect to rate reductions and/or extensions of maturity dates totaled $41.5 million; loans in connection with which forbearance agreements were reached totaled $1.8 million at that date.

Based on the number of loans performing in accordance with their revised terms, our success rates for restructured multi-family loans, CRE loans,one-to-four family loans and other loans were 100%, 100%, 50%, and 84%, respectively, at September 30, 2017. There were no restructured ADC loans atleases represents a reasonable estimate based upon our judgment as that date.

On a limited basis, we may provide additional credit to a borrower after a loan has been placed onnon-accrual status or classified as a TDR if, in management’s judgment, the value of the property after the additional loan funding is greater than the initial value of the property plus the additional loan funding amount. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no such additions were made. Furthermore, the terms of our restructured loans typically would not restrict us from cancelling outstanding commitments for other credit facilities to a borrower in the event ofnon-payment of a restructured loan.

Except for thenon-accrual loans and TDRs disclosed in this filing, we did not have any potential problem loans at the end of the current first quarter that would have caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of a borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms and that would have resulted in such disclosure if that were the case.

Covered Loans and Covered Other Real Estate Owned

In connection with the AmTrust and Desert Hills Bank LSA, we established FDIC loss share receivables of $740.0 million and $69.6 million, respectively, which were the acquisition-date fair values of the respective LSA (i.e., the expected reimbursements from the FDIC over the terms of the agreements). The loss share receivables increased if the losses increased, and decreased if the losses fell short of the expected amounts. Increases in estimated reimbursements were recognized in income in the same period that they were identified and that the allowance for losses on the related coveredCompany's net charge-offs as compared to average loans was recognized.

Additionally, as previously disclosed, the Company received approval from the FDIC to sell assets covered under our LSA, early terminate the LSA, and enter into an agreement to sell the majority of ourone-to-four family residential mortgage-related assets, including those covered under the LSA, to an affiliate of Cerberus. On July 28, 2017, the Company completed the sale, resulting in the receipt of proceeds of $1.9outstanding:

At December 31, 2022, the CommunityCompany had $762 million and $329 million of FHLB-NY stock, at cost and FHLB-Indianapolis stock, at cost, respectively. The Company maintains an investment in FHLB-NY stock and, as a result of the Flagstar acquisition, FHLB-Indianapolis stock, partly in conjunction with its membership in the FHLB and partly related to its access to the FHLB funding it utilizes.

BOLI is recorded at the total cash surrender value of the policies in the Consolidated Statements of Condition, and the income generated by the increase in the cash surrender value of the policies is recorded in“Non-interest “Non-interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Reflecting an increase in the cash surrender value of the underlying policies, our investment in BOLI at June 30, 2023 rose $12.4$6 million to $961.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangibles


We record goodwill and core deposit intangibles (“CDI”) in our Consolidated Statementsconsolidated statements of Conditioncondition in connection with certain of our business combinations.

Goodwill, which is tested at least annually for impairment, refers to the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of an acquired company’s assets, net of the liabilities assumed. CDI refers to the fair valueAs of the core deposits acquired in a business combination, and is typically amortized over a period of ten years from the acquisition date.

While goodwill totaled $2.4 billion at both SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016, the balance of CDI, net, declined from $208,000 to zero as a result of amortization in the first nine months of this year.

Sources of Funds


The Parent Company (i.e., the Company on an unconsolidated basis) has threefour primary funding sources for the payment of dividends, share repurchases, and other corporate uses: dividends paid to the Parent Company by the Banks;Bank; capital raised through the issuance of stock; andsecurities; funding raised through the issuance of debt instruments.

instruments; and repayments of, and income from, investment securities.


On a consolidated basis, our funding primarily stems from a combination of the following sources: retail, institutional, and brokered deposits; borrowed funds, primarily in the form of wholesale borrowings; the cash flows generated through the repayment and sale of loans; and the cash flows generated through the repayment and sale of securities.

Loan repayments and sales totaled $9.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, down from the $9.1 billion recorded in the year-earlier nine months. Cash flows from the repayment and sales of securities totaled $1.3 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, in the corresponding periods, while purchases of securities totaled $404.0 million and $281.9 million, respectively.

Deposits


Our ability to retain and attract deposits depends on numerous factors, including customer satisfaction, the rates of interest we pay, the types of products we offer, and the attractiveness of their terms. That said, thereFrom time to time, we have been times that we’ve chosen not to compete actively for deposits, depending on our access to deposits through acquisitions, the availability of lower-cost funding sources, the impact of competition on pricing, and the need to fund our loan demand.

In the nine months ended September The vast majority of our deposits are retail in nature (i.e., they are deposits we have gathered through our branches or through business combinations).


Depending on their availability and pricing relative to other funding sources, we also include brokered deposits in our deposit mix. Brokered deposits accounted for $9.3 billion of our deposits at June 30, 2017, total deposits of $28.92023, compared to $5.1 billion were comparable to the level recorded at December 31, 2016. Certificates of deposit (“CDs”)2022. Brokered money market accounts represented 30.5%$2.2 billion of total brokered deposits at the end of the third quarter,June 30, 2023 and total deposits represented 59.6% of total assets at that date.

Included in the September 30th balance of deposits were institutional deposits of $2.2 billion and municipal deposits of $791.5 million, as compared to $2.8 billion and $637.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2016. Brokered deposits dropped $79.1 million during this timeframe, to $3.9 billion, the net effect of an $83.1 million increase in brokered money market accounts to $2.6 billion and a $641.1 million decline in2022; brokered interest-bearing checking accounts to $804.9 million.represented $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, we had $478.9 million$6.0 billion of brokered CDs. We had no brokered CDs, compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2016. 2022.


Our uninsured deposits are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000). These amounts were estimated based on the same methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes and excludes internal accounts. At June 30, 2023 our deposit base includes $37.8 billion of uninsured deposits a net increase of $18.2 billion as compared to December 31, 2022 due to the Signature Transaction. This represents 43 percent of our total deposits. We also have $37.7 billion of total ready liquidity (cash and cash equivalents, unpledged securities, Fed Funds access and FHLB borrowing capacity). Our total ready liquidity approximately matches the balance of our uninsured deposits.

The extent to which we accept brokeredfollowing table indicates the amount of time deposits, depends on various factors, includingby account, that are in excess of the availability and pricing of such wholesale funding sources, and the availability and pricing of other sources of funds.

Borrowed Funds

Borrowed


The majority of our borrowed funds consist primarily ofare wholesale borrowings (i.e.,FHLB-NY advances, repurchase agreements,(FHLB-NY and federal funds purchased)FHLB-Indianapolis advances) and, to a far lesser extent, junior subordinated debentures. In the three months ended Septemberdebentures and subordinated notes. At June 30, 2017, the balance of2023, total borrowed funds was unchanged from the trailing quarter and fell $1.3 billion from year end to $12.4 billion, representing 25.5% of total assets, at that date.

Wholesale Borrowings

Wholesale borrowings were unchanged from the trailing quarter but fell $1.3 billion from year end to $12.0 billion, representing 24.8% of total assets, at quarter end.

FHLB-NY advances declined $110.0 million during this time, to $11.6 billion, while the balance of repurchase agreements dropped $1.1decreased $4.9 billion to $450.0 million. In addition, while federal funds purchased amounted to $150.0 million at the end of December, there were no federal funds purchased at September 30, 2017.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

Junior subordinated debentures totaled $359.1 million at the end of the current third quarter, comparable$16.4 billion compared to the balance at December 31st.

Wholesale Borrowings

Wholesale borrowings at June 30, 2023 were $15.4 billion compared to $20.3 billion at December 31, 2022.

FHLB-NY and FHLB-Indianapolis advances accounted for $15.4 billion and $20.3 billion at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Pursuant to blanket collateral agreements with the Bank, our FHLB-NY, FHLB-Indianapolis advances and overnight advances are secured by pledges of certain eligible collateral in the form of loans and securities. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $5.4 billion and $6.8 billion of our wholesale borrowings had callable features, respectively.

We had no federal funds outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

Junior subordinated debentures totaled $577 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $575 million at December 31, 2022.

Liquidity, Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments, and Capital Position

Liquidity

We manage our liquidity to ensure that our cash flows are sufficient to support our operations, and to compensate for any temporary mismatches between sources and uses of funds caused by variable loan and deposit demand.

We monitor our liquidity daily to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet our financial obligations. Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $15.8 billion and $2.0 billion, at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The following section outlines$13.8 billion increase in cash and cash equivalents includes custodial deposits related to the definitionsSignature Transaction.

Our $37.7 billion of total ready liquidity (cash and cash equivalents, unpledged securities, and FHLB borrowing capacity), approximately matching the balance of our uninsured deposits.

Additional liquidity stems from deposits and from our use of wholesale funding sources, including wholesale borrowings and brokered deposits. In addition, we have access to the Bank’s approved lines of credit with various counterparties, including the FHLB-NY. The availability of these wholesale funding sources is generally based on the amount of mortgage loan collateral available under a blanket lien we have pledged to the respective institutions and, to a lesser extent, the amount of available securities that may be pledged to collateralize our borrowings. At June 30, 2023 our available borrowing capacity with the FHLB-NY was $15.4 billion. In addition, the Bank had available-for-sale securities of $7.8 billion, of which, $6.5 billion is unpledged.

Furthermore, the Bank has agreements with the FRB-NY that enable it to access the discount window as a further means of enhancing our liquidity. In connection with these agreements, the Bank has pledged certain loans and securities to collateralize any funds we may borrow. The maximum amount the Bank could borrow from the FRB-NY was $1.0 billion.There were no borrowings against these lines of credit at June 30, 2023.

CDs due to mature or reprice in one year or less from June 30, 2023 totaled $16.9 billion, representing 93 percent of total CDs at that date. Our ability to attract and retain retail deposits, including CDs, depends on numerous factors, including, among others, the convenience of our branches and our other banking channels; our customers’ satisfaction with the service they receive; the rates of interest rate risk, market risk, and liquidity risk, and howwe offer; the Company manages market and interest rate risk:

Interest Rate Risk –Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from differences between the timingtypes of rate changesproducts we feature; and the timingattractiveness of cash flows(re-pricing risk); from changing rate relationshipstheir terms.

Our decision to compete for deposits also depends on numerous factors, including, among different yield curves affecting Company activities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships acrossothers, our access to deposits through acquisitions, the spectrumavailability of maturities (yield curve risk); and from interest-related options embedded in a bank’s products (options risk). The evaluation of interest rate risk must considerlower-cost funding sources, the impact of complex, illiquid hedging strategiescompetition on pricing, and the need to fund our loan demand.

The Parent Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. At June 30, 2023 the Parent Company held cash and cash equivalents of $131 million. In addition to operating expenses and any share repurchases, the Parent Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to our stockholders. As a Delaware corporation, the Parent Company is able to pay dividends either from surplus or, products,in case there is no surplus, from net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

Various legal restrictions limit the extent to which the Company’s subsidiary bank can supply funds to the Parent Company and alsoits non-bank subsidiaries. The Bank would require the potential impact on feeapproval of the OCC if the dividends it declares in any calendar year were to exceed the total of its respective net profits for that year combined with its respective retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years, less any required transfer to paid-in capital. The term “net profits” is defined as net income (e.g. prepayment income) which is sensitivefor a given period less any dividends paid during that period. As a result of our acquisition of Flagstar, we are also

required to changes in interest rates.seek regulatory approval from the OCC for the payment of any dividend to the Parent Company through at least the period ending November 1, 2024. In those situations where trading is separately managed, this refers to structural positionsconnection with receiving regulatory approval from the OCC for the Signature Transaction, the Bank has committed that (i) for a period of two years from the date of the Signature Transaction, it will not declare or pay any dividend without receiving a prior written determination of no supervisory objection from the OCC and (ii) it will not trading portfolios.

Market Risk –Market risk is the risk to earningsdeclare or capital arising from changes in the value of portfolios of financial instruments. This risk arises from market-making, dealing, and position-taking activities in interest rate, foreign exchange, equity, and commodities markets. Many banks use the term “price risk” interchangeably with market risk; this is because market risk focusespay dividends on the changes in market factors (e.g., interest rates, marketamount of retained earnings that represents any net bargain purchase gain that is subject to a conditional period that may be imposed by the OCC.In the six months ended June 30, 2023, dividends of $280 million were paid by the Bank to the Parent Company. At June 30, 2023, the Bank had $479 million available for additional dividends, excluding bargain purchase gain from retained earnings.


At June 30, 2023, we believe the Company has sufficient liquidity and volatilities) that affect the value of traded instruments. The primary accounts affected by market risk are those which are revalued for financial presentation (e.g., trading accounts for securities, derivatives, and foreign exchange products).

Liquidity Risk –Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from a bank’s inabilityresources to meet its cash flow obligations when they become due, without incurring unacceptable losses. Liquidity risk includesover the inabilitynext 12 months and for the foreseeable future.


Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In the normal course of business, we enter into a variety of contractual obligations in order to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources. Liquidity risk also arises from a bank’s failure to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimal loss in value.

Management of Market and Interest Rate Risk

We manage our assets and liabilities, fund loan growth, operate our branch network, and address our capital needs.


For example, we offer CDs with contractual terms to reduce our exposurecustomers, and borrow funds under contract from the FHLB-NY. These contractual obligations are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Condition under “Deposits” and “Borrowed funds,” respectively. At June 30, 2023, we had CDs of $18.2 billion and long-term debt (defined as borrowed funds with an original maturity one year or more) of $10.9 billion.

We also are obligated under certain non-cancelable operating leases on the buildings and land we use in operating our branch network and in performing our back-office responsibilities. These obligations are included in the Consolidated Statements of Condition and totaled $536 million at June 30, 2023 an increase of $414 million compared to changes$122 million at December 31, 2022 driven by the Signature Transaction.

At June 30, 2023, we also had commitments to extend credit in market interest rates. the form of mortgage and other loan originations, as well as commercial, performance stand-by, and financial stand-by letters of credit. These commitments consist of agreements to extend credit, as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract under which the loan is made. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a fee.

The assetfollowing table summarizes the Company’s commitments to originate loans and liability management process hasletters of credit:

Total commitments$24,778 $22,368 

The letters of credit we issue consist of performance stand-by, financial stand-by, and commercial letters of credit. Financial stand-by letters of credit primarily are issued for the benefit of other financial institutions, municipalities, or landlords on behalf of certain of our current borrowers, and obligate us to guarantee payment of a specified financial obligation. Performance stand-by letters of credit are primarily issued for the benefit of local municipalities on behalf of certain of our borrowers. Performance letters of credit obligate us to make payments in the event that a specified third party fails to perform under non-financial contractual obligations. Commercial letters of credit act as a means of ensuring payment to a seller upon shipment of goods to a buyer. Although commercial letters of credit are used to effect payment for domestic transactions, the majority are used to settle payments in international trade. Typically, such letters of credit require the presentation of documents that describe the commercial transaction, and provide evidence of shipment and the transfer of title. The fees we collect in connection with the issuance of letters of credit are included in “Fee income” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

34


Based upon our current liquidity position, and ready liquidity of $37.7 billion, we expect that our funding will be sufficient to fulfill these cash obligations and commitments when they are due both in the short term and long term.

For the three primary objectives:months ended June 30, 2023, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions that we expect to evaluatehave a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

At June 30, 2023, we had no commitments to purchase securities.

Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to regulation, examination, and supervision by the interest rate risk inherent in certain balance sheet accounts;OCC and the Federal Reserve (the “Regulators”). The Bank is also governed by numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, which established five categories of capital adequacy ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” Such classifications are used by the FDIC to determine various matters, including prompt corrective action and each institution’s FDIC deposit insurance premium assessments. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to the appropriate levelRegulators’ qualitative judgments about the components of risk, given our business strategy, risk appetite, operating environment, capital and liquidityrisk weightings, among other factors.

The quantitative measures established to ensure capital adequacy require that banks maintain minimum amounts and ratios of leverage capital to average assets and of common equity tier 1 capital, tier 1 capital, and total capital to risk-weighted assets (as such measures are defined in the regulations). At June 30, 2023, our capital measures continued to exceed the minimum federal requirements for a bank holding company and performance objectives;for a bank. The following table sets forth our common equity tier 1, tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based, and leverage capital amounts and ratios on a consolidated basis and for the Bank on a stand-alone basis, as well as the respective minimum regulatory capital requirements, at that date:

RECONCILIATIONS OF SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY, COMMON STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY, AND TANGIBLE COMMON SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY; TOTAL ASSETS AND TANGIBLE ASSETS; AND THE RELATED MEASURES

While stockholders’ equity, common stockholders’ equity, total assets, and book value per common share are financial measures that are recorded in accordance with U.S. GAAP, tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per common share are not. It is management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in this report and others we issue for the following reasons:

1.Tangible common stockholders’ equity is an important indication of the Company’s ability to grow organically and through business combinations, as well as its ability to pay dividends and to manage that riskengage in a manner consistent with guidelines approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company, the Community Bank,various capital management strategies.
2.Tangible book value per common share and the Commercial Bank.

ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are among the capital measures considered by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, the Company’s peers.


Tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, and the related non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders’ equity, common stockholders’ equity, total assets, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these non-GAAP measures may differ from that of other companies reporting non-GAAP measures with similar names.

Market Risk


As a financial institution, we are focused on reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility.volatility, which represents our primary market risk. Changes in market interest rates poserepresent the greatest challenge to our financial performance, as such changes can have a significant impact on the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and on the market value of all interest-earning assets, other than those possessing a short term to maturity. To reduce our exposure to changing rates, the BoardsBoard of Directors and management monitor interest rate sensitivity on a regular or as needed basis so that adjustments to the asset and liability mix can be made when deemed appropriate.


The actual duration ofheld-for-investment mortgage loans and mortgage-related securities can be significantly impacted by changes in prepayment levels and market interest rates. The level of prepayments may, in turn, be impacted by a variety of factors, including the economy in the region where the underlying mortgages were originated; seasonal factors; demographic
36


variables; and the assumability of the underlying mortgages. However, the largest determinants offactors with the most significant impact on prepayments are market interest rates and the availability of refinancing opportunities.

In the first nine months of 2017, we


We managed our interest rate risk by taking the following actions: (1) We have continued to emphasize the origination and retention of intermediate-term assets, primarily in the form of multi-family and CRE loans; and (2) We have continued the origination of certain C&I loans that feature floating interest rates.

In connection withrates; (3) Increased the activitiesfocus on retaining low costs deposits; and (4) Obtained new low cost deposits as part of the banking-as-a-service initiative (5) The use of derivatives to manage our interest rate position.


Uninsured Deposits

We manage our liquidity to ensure that our cash flows are sufficient to support our operations, and to compensate for any temporary mismatches between sources and uses of funds caused by variable loan and deposit demand. As a result, we have $37.7 billion of total ready liquidity (cash and cash equivalents, unpledged securities, Fed Funds access and FHLB borrowing capacity), approximately matching the balance of our mortgage banking operation, we enter into contingent commitments to fund or purchase residential mortgage loans by a specified future date at a stated interest rate and corresponding price. Such commitments, whichuninsured deposits. Our uninsured deposits are the portion of deposit accounts that exceed the FDIC insurance limit (currently $250,000). These amounts were generally known as interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”), were considered to be financial derivatives and, as such, were carried at fair value.

To mitigate the interest rate risk associated with our IRLCs, we entered into forward commitments to sell mortgage loans or mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) by a specified future date and at a specified price. These forward-sale agreements were also carried at fair value. Such forward commitments to sell generally obligated us to complete the transaction as agreed, and therefore pose a risk to us if we are not able to deliver the loans or MBS pursuant to the terms of the applicable forward-sale agreement.

When we retained the servicingestimated based on the loans we sold, we capitalized an MSR asset. Residential MSRs are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded assame methodologies and assumptions used for regulatory reporting purposes and excludes internal accounts. At June 30, 2023 our deposit base includes $37.8 billion of uninsured deposits, reflecting a componentnet increase ofnon-interest income. We estimate the fair value of the MSR asset based upon a number of factors, including current and expected loan prepayment rates, economic conditions, and market forecasts, as well as relevant characteristics of the associated underlying loans. Generally, when market interest rates decline, loan prepayments increase as customers refinance their existing mortgages to take advantage of more favorable interest rate terms. When a mortgage prepays, or when loans are expected to prepay earlier than originally expected, a portion of the anticipated cash flows associated with servicing these loans is terminated or reduced, which can result in a reduction in the fair value of the capitalized MSRs and a corresponding reduction in earnings.

To mitigate the prepayment risk inherent in residential MSRs, we could have sold the servicing of the loans we produced, and thus minimized the potential for earnings volatility. Instead, we opted to mitigate such risk by investing in exchange-traded derivative financial instruments that were expected to experience opposite and partially offsetting changes in fair value as related to the value of our residential MSRs.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

The matching of assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the extent to which such assets and liabilities are “interest rate sensitive” and by monitoring a bank’s interest rate sensitivity “gap.” An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time frame if it will mature or reprice within that period of time. The interest rate sensitivity gap is defined as the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within a specific time frame and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within that same period of time.

In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a negative gap would generally be expected, absent the effects of other factors, to experience a greater increase in the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities than it would in the yield on its interest-earning assets, thus producing a decline in its net interest income. Conversely, in a declining rate environment, an institution with a negative gap would generally be expected to experience a lesser reduction in the yield on its interest-earning assets than it would in the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities, thus producing an increase in its net interest income.

In a rising interest rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would generally be expected to experience a greater increase in the yield on its interest-earning assets than it would in the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities, thus producing an increase in its net interest income. Conversely, in a declining rate environment, an institution with a positive gap would generally be expected to experience a lesser reduction in the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities than it would in the yield on its interest-earning assets, thus producing a decline in its net interest income.

At September 30, 2017, ourone-year gap was a negative 17.52%, $18.2 billion as compared to a negative 21.37% at December 31, 2016. The385-basis point change was largely2022 due to an increase in cash balances as a resultthe Signature Transaction. This represents 43 percent of our total deposits.


LIBOR Transition Process and Phase Out

The Company has certain loans, interest rate swap agreements, investment securities, and debt obligations whose interest rate is indexed to LIBOR. In 2017, the FCA, which is responsible for regulating LIBOR, announced that the publication of LIBOR is not guaranteed beyond 2021. In December 2020, the administrator of LIBOR announced its intention to (i) cease the publication of the saleone-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR after December 31, 2021, and (ii) cease the publication of all other tenors of U.S. dollar LIBOR (one, three, six, and 12-month LIBOR) after June 30, 2023, and on March 15, 2021, announced that it will permanently cease to publish most LIBOR settings beginning on January 1, 2022 and cease to publish the overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month, and 12-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on July 1, 2023. Accordingly, the FCA has stated that it does not intend to persuade or compel banks to submit to LIBOR after such respective dates. Until such time, however, FCA panel banks have agreed to continue to support LIBOR. In October 2021, the Federal bank regulatory agencies issued a Joint Statement on Managing the LIBOR Transition that offered their regulatory expectations and outlined potential supervisory and enforcement consequences for banks that fail to adequately plan for and implement the transition away from LIBOR. The failure to properly transition away from LIBOR may result in increased supervisory scrutiny. The implementation of a substitute index for the calculation of interest rates under the Company's loan agreements may result in disputes or litigation with counterparties over the appropriateness or comparability to LIBOR of the mortgage banking operations and borrowings maturing or repricing within one year, combined with a decrease in loans and deposits maturing or repricing within that time.

The tablesubstitute index, which would have an adverse effect on the following page sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at September 30, 2017 which, based on certain assumptions stemming from our historical experience, are expected to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. Except as stated below, the amounts of assets and liabilities shown as repricing or maturing during a particular time period were determined in accordance with the earlier of (1) the term to repricing, or (2) the contractual terms of the asset or liability.

The table provides an approximation of the projected repricing of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2017 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated prepayments, and scheduled rate adjustments within a three-month period and subsequent selected time intervals. For residential mortgage-related securities, prepayment rates are forecasted at a weighted average constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) of 15% per annum; for multi-family and CRE loans, prepayment rates are forecasted at weighted average CPRs of 15% and 13% per annum, respectively. Borrowed funds were not assumed to prepay.

Savings, interest-bearing checking and money market accounts were assumed to decay based on a comprehensive statistical analysis that incorporated our historical deposit experience. Based on theCompany's results of this analysis, savings accounts were assumed to decay at a rate of 57% for the first five years and 43% for years six through ten. Interest-bearing checking accounts were assumed to decay at a rate of 70% for the first five years and 30% for years six through ten. The decay assumptions reflect the prolonged low interest rate environment and the uncertainty regarding future depositor behavior. Including those accounts having specified repricing dates, money market accounts were assumed to decay at a rate of 71% for the first five years and 29% for years six through ten.

Prepayment and deposit decay rates can have a significant impact on our estimated gap. While we believe our assumptions to be reasonable,operations. Even when robust fallback language is included, there can be no assuranceassurances that the assumed prepaymentreplacement rate plus any spread adjustment will be economically equivalent to LIBOR, which could result in a lower interest rate being paid to the Company on such assets.


The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (a group of private-market participants convened by the FRB and decay rates will approximate actual futurethe FRB-NY) has identified SOFR as the recommended alternative to LIBOR. The use of SOFR as a substitute for LIBOR is voluntary and may not be suitable for all market participants. SOFR is calculated and observed differently than LIBOR. Given the manner in which SOFR is calculated, it is likely to be lower than LIBOR and is less likely to correlate with the funding costs of financial institutions. Market practices related to SOFR calculation conventions continue to develop and may vary. Inconsistent calculation conventions among financial products may expose is to increased basic rate and resultant costs.

Other alternatives to LIBOR also exist, but, because of the difference in how those alternatives are constructed, they may diverge significantly from LIBOR in a range of situations and market conditions.

The Bank established a sub-committee of ALCO to address issues related to the phase out and transition from LIBOR. This sub-committee consists of personnel from various departments through the Bank including lending, loan administration, credit risk management, finance/treasury, including interest rate risk and securities prepaymentsliquidity management, information technology, and deposit withdrawal activity.

To validate our prepayment assumptions for our multi-familyoperations. The Company has LIBOR-based contracts that extend beyond June 30, 2023. The sub-committee has monitored the Bank’s LIBOR transition progress and CRE loan portfolios, we perform a monthly analysis, during which we review our historical prepayment rates and compare them to our projected prepayment rates. We continually reviewsubstantially all contracts have been updated. In complying with industry requirements, the actual prepayment rates to ensure that our projections are as accurate as possible,Bank has not offered new LIBOR-based products since prepayments on these types of loans are not as closely correlated to changes in interest rates as prepayments onone-to-four family loans tend to be. In addition, we review the call provisions, if any, in our borrowings and investment portfolios and, on a monthly basis, compare the actual calls to our projected calls to ensure that our projections are reasonable.

As of September 30, 2017, the impact of a100-basis point decline in market interest rates would have increased our projected prepayment rates for multi-family and CRE loans by a constant prepayment rate of 11.23% per annum. Conversely, the impact of a100-basis point increase in market interest rates would have decreased our projected prepayment rates for multi-family and CRE loans by a constant prepayment rate of 4.08% per annum.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the preceding December 31, 2021.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of the market, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Furthermore, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate from those assumed in calculating the table. Also, the ability of some borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate loans may be adversely impacted by an increase in market interest rates.

Analysis


Interest rate sensitivity is also monitored through the use of a model that generates estimates of the change in our net portfolio value (“NPV”)Economic Value of Equity (EVE) over a range of interest rate scenarios. NPVEVE is defined as the net present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, andoff-balance sheet contracts. The NPVEVE ratio, under any interest rate scenario, is defined as the NPVEVE in that scenario divided by the market value of assets in the same scenario. The model assumes estimated loan and MBS prepayment rates, reinvestment rates,current market value spreads, and deposit decay rates similar to those utilized in formulating the preceding Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis.

and betas.


Based on the information and assumptions in effect at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the following table reflects the estimated percentage change insets forth our NPV,EVE, assuming the changes in interest rates noted:

The net changes in NPVEVE presented in the preceding table are within the parameters approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Banks.

As withBank.


Accordingly, while the Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the precedingEVE analysis provides an indication of our interest rate risk measurements. exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income, and may very well differ from actual results.

Interest Rate Risk is also monitored through the use of a model that generates Net Interest Income (NII) simulations over a range of interest rate scenarios.Modeling changes in NPVNII requires that certain assumptions be made which may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the NPV AnalysisNII analysis presented abovebelow assumes that the composition of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured, and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve, regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Furthermore, the model does not take into account the benefit of any strategic actions we may take to further reduce our exposure to interest rate risk. Accordingly, while the NPV Analysis provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income, and may very well differ from actual results.

We also utilize an internal net interest income simulation to manage our sensitivity to interest rate risk. The simulation incorporates various market-based assumptions regarding the impact of changing interest rates on future levels of our financial assets and liabilities. The assumptions used in the net interest income simulation are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ significantly from those presented in the following table, due to the frequency, timing, and magnitude of changes in interest rates; changes in spreads between maturity and repricing categories; and prepayments, among other factors, coupled with any actions taken to counter the effects of any such changes.


Based on the information and assumptions in effect at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, the following table reflects the estimated percentage change in future net interest income for the next twelve months, assuming the changes in interest rates noted:

(1)In general, short- and long-term rates are assumed to increase in parallel fashion across all four quarters and then remain unchanged.
(2)The impact of100- and200-basis point reductions in interest rates is not presented in view of the current level of the federal funds rate and other short-term interest rates.


(1)In general, short- and long-term rates are assumed to increase in parallel instantaneously and then remain unchanged.

The net changes in NII presented in the preceding table are within the parameters approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank.

Future changes in our mix of assets and liabilities may result in greater changes to our gap, NPV,EVE, and/or net interest income simulation.

NII simulations.


In the event that our NPVEVE and net interest income sensitivities were to breach our internal policy limits, we would undertake the following actions to ensure that appropriate remedial measures were put in place:

Our Management Asset and Liability Committee (the “ALCO Committee”) would inform the Board of Directors of the variance, and present recommendations to the Board regarding proposed courses of action to restore conditions to within-policy tolerances.

38


In formulating appropriate strategies, the ALCO Committee would ascertain the primary causes of the variance from policy tolerances, the expected term of such conditions, and the projected effect on capital and earnings.


Our ALCO Committee would inform the Board of Directors of the variance, and present recommendations to the Board regarding proposed courses of action to restore conditions to within-policy tolerances.

Where temporary changes in market conditions or volume levels result in significant increases in risk, strategies may involve reducing open positions or employing synthetic hedging techniquesother balance sheet management activities including the potential use of derivatives to more immediately reduce the risk exposure. Where variance from policy tolerances is triggered by more fundamental imbalances in the risk profiles of core loan and deposit products, a remedial strategy may involve restoring balance through natural hedges to the extent possible before employing synthetic hedging techniques. Other strategies might include:


Asset restructuring, involving sales of assets having higher risk profiles, or a gradual restructuring of the asset mix over time to affect the maturity or repricing schedule of assets;


Liability restructuring, whereby product offerings and pricing are altered or wholesale borrowings are employed to affect the maturity structure or repricing of liabilities;


Expansion or shrinkage of the balance sheet to correct imbalances in the repricing or maturity periods between assets and liabilities; and/or


Use or alteration ofoff-balance sheet positions, including interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options, and forward purchase or sales commitments.


In connection with our net interest income simulation modeling, we also evaluate the impact of changes in the slope of the yield curve. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2023, our analysis indicated that an immediatea further inversion of the yield curve would be expected to result in a 1.83%3.8 percent decrease in net interest income; conversely, an immediate steepening of the yield curve would be expected to result in a 3.85%1.5 percent increase in net interest income.

Critical Accounting Estimates

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 are critical to an understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes, are described in Item 1. These policies relate to: (a) the determination of our ACL, (b) fair value measurements and (c) the acquisition method of accounting. We managebelieve the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our liquidityConsolidated Financial Statements and the Notes are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to ensurethese 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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is available on our website, under the Investor Relations section, or on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission, at sec.gov.

Signature Transaction - Certain Financial Information

In accordance with the guidance provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 1:K, “Financial Statements of Acquired Troubled Financial Institutions” (“SAB 1:K”), and a pending request for relief submitted by the Company to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance therewith, the Company has omitted certain financial information on the Signature Transaction required by Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and Article 11 of Regulation S-X. SAB 1:K provides relief from the requirements of Rule 3-05 and Article 11 of Regulation S-X under certain circumstances, including a transaction such as the Signature Transaction, in which the registrant engages in an acquisition of a troubled financial institution for which historical financial statements are not reasonably available or relevant and in which federal assistance is an essential and significant part of the transaction.

Reportable Segment and Reporting Units

We operate in a single reportable segment and have identified one reporting unit which is the same as our operating segment. Following the acquisition of Flagstar Bank, N.A. and closing the Signature Transaction, we are currently in the process of reassessing our reportable segments and reporting units, which may result in a change to either or both in future reporting periods.

New York Community Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (on a stand-alone basis, the “Parent Company” or, collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or "we") was organized under Delaware law on July 20, 1993 and is the holding company for Flagstar Bank N.A. (hereinafter referred to as the “Bank”). The Company is headquartered in Hicksville, New York with regional headquarters in Troy, Michigan.

The Company is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the Federal Reserve. The Bank is a National Association, subject to federal regulation and oversight by the OCC.

On November 23, 1993, the Company issued its initial offering of common stock (par value: $0.01 per share) at a price of $25.00 per share ($0.93 per share on a split-adjusted basis, reflecting the impact of nine stock splits between 1994 and 2004). The Company has grown organically and through a series of accretive mergers and acquisitions, culminating in its acquisition of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc., which closed on December 1, 2022 and the Signature Transaction which closed on March 20, 2023.

Flagstar Bank, N.A. currently operates 436 branches across nine states, including strong footholds in the Northeast and Midwest and exposure to markets in the Southeast and West Coast. Flagstar Mortgage operates nationally through a wholesale network of approximately 3000 third-party mortgage originators. Flagstar Bank N.A. also operates through eight local divisions, each with a history of service and strength: Queens County Savings Bank, Roslyn Savings Bank, Richmond County Savings Bank, Roosevelt Savings Bank, and Atlantic Bank in New York; Garden State Community Bank in New Jersey; Ohio Savings Bank in Ohio; and AmTrust Bank in Arizona and Florida.

Basis of Presentation

The following is a description of the significant accounting and reporting policies that the Company and its subsidiaries follow in preparing and presenting their consolidated financial statements, which conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates that are used in connection with the determination of the allowance for credit losses, mortgage servicing rights, the Flagstar acquisition and the Signature Transaction.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company currently has certain unconsolidated subsidiaries in the form of wholly-owned statutory business trusts, which were formed to issue guaranteed capital securities. See Note 11 “Borrowed Funds,” for additional information regarding these trusts.

Loans

Effective January 1, 2023, the Corporation adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" (ASU 2022-02), which eliminated the accounting for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) while expanding loan modification and vintage disclosure requirements. Under ASU 2022-02, the Corporation assesses all loan modifications to determine whether one is granted to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, regardless of whether the modified loan terms include a concession. Modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty may be in the form of an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay, a term extension, principal forgiveness or a combination thereof (collectively referred to as Troubled Debt Modifications or TDMs).
47


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company accounted for certain loan modifications and restructurings as TDRs. In general, a modification or restructuring of a loan constituted a TDR if the Company granted a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

StandardDescriptionEffective Date
ASU 2022-02- Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures Issued March 2022ASU 2022-02 eliminates prior accounting guidance for TDRs, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The standard also requires that an entity disclose current-period gross charge-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases.
The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 effective January 1, 2023 using a modified retrospective transition approach for the amendments related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs. The impact of the adoption resulted in an immaterial change to the allowance for credit losses ("ACL"), thus no adjustment to retained earnings was recorded. Disclosures have been updated to reflect information on loan modifications given to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty as presented in Note 6. TDR disclosures are presented for comparative periods only and are not required to be updated in current periods. Additionally, the current year vintage disclosure included in Note 6 has been updated to reflect gross charge-offs by year of origination for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
ASU 2023-02 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method Issued: March 2023Permits reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met.The Company adopted ASU 2023-02 effective January 1, 2023 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Computation of Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per Common Share (Basic and Diluted)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing the net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the same method as basic EPS, however, the computation reflects the potential dilution that would occur if outstanding in-the-money stock options were exercised and converted into common stock.

Unvested stock-based compensation awards containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends paid on the Company’s common stock are considered participating securities, and therefore are included in the two-class method for calculating EPS. Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends on the common stock. The Company grants restricted stock to certain employees under its stock-based compensation plan. Recipients receive cash dividends during the vesting periods of these awards, including on the unvested portion of such awards. Since these dividends are non-forfeitable, the unvested awards are considered participating securities and therefore have earnings allocated to them.

Note 3 - Business Combinations

Signature Bridge Bank

On March 20, 2023, the Company’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Flagstar Bank N.A. (the “Bank”), entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as receiver (the "FDIC Receiver") of Signature Bridge Bank, N.A. (“Signature”) to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Signature (the “Signature Transaction”). Headquartered in New York, New York, Signature Bank was a full-service commercial bank that operated 29 branches in New York, seven branches in California, two branches in North Carolina, one branch in Connecticut, and one branch in Nevada. In connection with the Signature Transaction the Bank assumed all of Signature’s branches. The Bank acquired only certain parts of Signature it believes to be financially and strategically complementary that are intended to enhance the Company’s future growth.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company was not required to make a cash payment to the FDIC on March 20, 2023 as consideration for the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As the Company and the FDIC remain engaged in ongoing discussions which may impact the assets and liabilities acquired or assumed by the Company in the Signature Transaction, the Company may be required to make a payment to the FDIC or the FDIC may be required to make a payment to the Company on the Settlement Date, which will be one year after March 20, 2023, or as agreed upon by the FDIC and the Company.

In addition, as part of the consideration for the Signature Transaction, the Company granted the FDIC equity appreciation rights in the common stock of the Company under an equity appreciation instrument (the "Equity Appreciation Instrument"). On March 31, 2023, the Company issued 39,032,006 shares of Company common stock to the FDIC pursuant to the Equity Appreciation Instrument. On May 19, 2023, the FDIC completed the secondary offering of those shares.

The Company has determined that the Signature Transaction constitutes a business combination as defined by ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements as to how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Accordingly, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on their estimated fair values based on initial valuations as of March 20, 2023.

Under the Agreement, the Company is expected to provide certain services to the FDIC to assist the FDIC in its administration of certain assets and liabilities which were not assumed by the Company and which remain under the control of the FDIC (the “Interim Servicing”). The Interim Servicing includes activities related to the servicing of loan portfolios not acquired on behalf of the FDIC for a period of up to one year from the date of the Signature Transaction unless such loans are sold or transferred at an earlier time by the FDIC or until cancelled by the FDIC upon 60-days’ notice. The Interim Servicing may include other ancillary services requested by the FDIC to assist in their administration of the remaining assets and liabilities of Signature Bank. The FDIC will reimburse the Company for costs associated with the Interim Servicing based upon an agreed upon fee which approximates the cost to provide such services. As the FDIC intends to reimburse the Company for
49


the costs to service the loans, neither a servicing asset nor servicing liability was recognized as part of the Signature Transaction.

The Company did not enter into a loss sharing arrangement with the FDIC in connection with the Signature Transaction.

As the Company finalizes its analysis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, there may be adjustments to the recorded carrying values. In many cases, the determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions and other future events that are sufficienthighly subjective in nature and subject to support our operations,change. While the Company believes that the information available on June 30, 2023, provided a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, the Company may obtain additional information and evidence during the measurement period that may result in changes to compensatethe estimated fair value amounts. Fair values subject to change include, but are not limited to, those related to loans and leases, certain deposits, intangibles, deferred tax assets and liabilities and certain other assets and other liabilities.

A summary of the net assets acquired and the estimated fair value adjustments resulting in the bargain purchase gain is as follows:

(in millions)March 20, 2023
Net assets acquired before fair value adjustments$2,973 
  Fair value adjustments:
    Loans(727)
    Core deposit and other intangibles464

Bargain purchase gain on Signature Transaction, as initially reported$2,001 
Measurement period adjustments, excluding taxes53 
Change in deferred tax liability88 
Bargain purchase gain on Signature Transaction, as adjusted$2,142 

In connection with the Signature Transaction, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain, as adjusted, of approximately $2.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023, which is included in non-interest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The bargain purchase gain represents the excess of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired (including cash payments received from the FDIC) over the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed and is influenced significantly by the FDIC-assisted transaction process. Under the FDIC-assisted transaction process, only certain assets and liabilities are transferred to the acquirer and, depending on the nature and amount of the acquirers bid, the FDIC may be required to make a cash payment to the Company and the Company may be required to make a cash payment to the FDIC.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed and consideration paid in the Signature Transaction were initially recorded at their estimated fair values based on management’s best estimates using information available at the date of the Signature Transaction, and are subject to adjustment for any temporary mismatchesup to one year after the closing date of the Signature Transaction. The Company and the FDIC are engaged in ongoing discussions and settlement payments have been made that have impacted certain assets acquired or certain liabilities assumed by the Company on March 20, 2023 and are included as measurement period adjustments in the table below.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded preliminary measurement period adjustments to adjust the estimated fair value of loans and leases acquired and adjust other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities for balances ultimately retained by the FDIC. Additionally, $449 million of loans were returned to the FDIC in accordance with the purchase and sale agreement. The Company also recognized a net change in the deferred tax liability due to the measurement period adjustments and the secondary offering of shares completed by the FDIC.

Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between sourcesmarket participants at the measurement date, reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. In some cases, the estimation of fair values requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions, and usesother future events that are highly subjective in nature and are subject to change. Described below are the methods used to determine the fair values of funds caused by variable loanthe significant assets acquired and deposit demand.

We monitor our liquidity daily to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet our financial obligations. Our most liquid assets areliabilities assumed in the Signature Transaction.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents which totaled $3.3 billionapproximates their stated face amounts, as these financial instruments are either due on demand or have short-term maturities.

Loans and $557.9 million, respectively, at September 30, 2017leases

The fair value for loans was based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered credit loss expectations, market interest rates and December 31, 2016. Asother market factors such as liquidity from the perspective of a market participant. Loans were grouped together according to similar characteristics and were treated in the past, our portfoliosaggregate when applying various valuation techniques. The probability of default, loss given default and prepayment assumptions were the key factors driving credit losses which were embedded into the estimated cash flows. These assumptions were informed by internal data on loan characteristics, historical loss experience, and current and forecasted economic conditions. The interest and liquidity component of the estimate was determined by discounting interest and principal cash flows through the expected life of each loan. The discount rates used for loans are based on current market rates for new originations of comparable loans and securities provided liquidity in the first nine months of the year, with cash flows from the repayment and sale of loans totaling $9.3 billion and cash flows from the repayment and sale of securities totaling $1.3 billion.

Additional liquidity stems from the retail, institutional, and municipal deposits we gather and from our use of wholesale funding sources, including brokered deposits and wholesale borrowings. We also have accessinclude adjustments for liquidity. The discount rates do not include a factor for credit losses as that has been included as a reduction to the Banks’ approved lines of credit with various counterparties, including theFHLB-NY. The availability of these wholesale funding sources is generally based on the available amount of mortgage loan collateral under a blanket lien we have pledgedestimated cash flows. Acquired loans were marked to the respective institutionsfair value and to a lesser extent, the available amount of securities that may be pledged to collateralize our borrowings. At September 30, 2017, our available borrowing capacity with theFHLB-NY was $7.5 billion. In addition, the Banks had $3.0 billion ofavailable-for-sale securities, combined, at that date.

Furthermore, both the Community Bank and the Commercial Bank have agreements with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the“FRB-NY”) that enable them to access the discount window as a further means of enhancing their liquidity if need be. In connection with their agreements, the Banks have pledged certain loans and securities to collateralizeadjusted for any funds they may borrow. At September 30, 2017, the maximum amount the Community Bank could borrow from theFRB-NY was $1.3 billion; the maximum amount the Commercial Bank could borrow from theFRB-NY was $77.5 million. There were no borrowings against either of these lines of credit at that date.

Our primary investing activity is loan production. In the first nine months of 2017, the volume of loans originated for investment was $5.8 billion. During this time, the net cash provided by investing activities totaled $2.5 billion. Our operating activities provided net cash of $1.3 billion, while the net cash used in our financing activities totaled $1.1 billion.

CDs due to mature in one year or less from September 30, 2017 totaled $8.1 billion, representing 91.9% of total CDs at that date. Our ability to retain these CDs and to attract new deposits depends on numerous factors, including customer satisfaction, the rates of interest we pay on our deposits, the types of products we offer, and the attractiveness of their terms. However, there are times when we may choose not to compete for such deposits, depending on the availability of lower-cost funding, the competitiveness of the market and its impact on pricing, and our need for such deposits to fund loan demand, as previously discussed.

The Parent Company is a separate legal entity from each of the Banks and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to operating expenses and any share repurchases, the Parent Company is responsible for paying dividends declared to our shareholders. As a Delaware corporation, the Parent Company is able to pay dividends either from surplus or, in case there is no surplus, from net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

In each of the four quarters of 2016, the Company was required under Supervisory Letter SR09-04 to receive anon-objection from the FRB to pay all dividends;non-objections were received from the FRB in all four quarters of the year. The FRB subsequently advised the Company to continue the exchange of written documentation to obtain theirnon-objection to the declaration of dividends in 2017. The Company has received all necessarynon-objections from the FRB for the dividends declaredPCD gross up as of the date of the Signature Transaction.

51



Deposit Liabilities

The fair value of deposit liabilities with no stated maturity (i.e., non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts) is equal to the carrying amounts payable on demand. The fair value of certificates of deposit represents contractual cash flows, discounted using interest rates currently offered on deposits with similar characteristics and remaining maturities.

Core Deposit Intangible

Core deposit intangible (“CDI”) is a measure of the value of non-interest-bearing and interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts that are acquired in a business combination. The fair value of the CDI stemming from any given business combination is based on the present value of the expected cost savings attributable to the core deposit funding, relative to an alternative source of funding. The CDI relating to the Signature Transaction will be amortized over an estimated useful life of 10 years using the sum of years digits depreciation method. The Company evaluates such identifiable intangibles for impairment when an indication of impairment exists. CDI does not significantly impact our liquidity or capital ratios.

PCD loans

Purchased loans that reflect a more than insignificant deterioration of credit from origination are considered PCD. For PCD loans and leases, the initial estimate of expected credit losses is recognized in the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on the date of acquisition using the same methodology as other loans and leases held-for-investment. The following table provides a summary of loans and leases purchased as part of the Signature Transaction with credit deterioration and the associated credit loss reserve at acquisition:

(in millions)Total

Unaudited Pro Forma Information – Signature Transaction

The Company’s operating results for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2023 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Signature Bridge Bank, N.A. subsequent to the acquisition on March 20, 2023. Due to the use of multiple systems and integration of the operating activities into those of the Company, historical reporting for the former Signature operations is impracticable and thus disclosures of the revenue from the assets acquired and income before income taxes is impracticable for the period subsequent to acquisition.

Signature Bridge Bank, N.A. was only in operation from March 12 to March 20, 2023 and does not have historical financial information on which we could base pro forma information. Additionally, we did not acquire all assets or assume all liabilities of Signature and the historical operations are not consistent with the transaction. Therefore, it is impracticable to provide pro forma information on revenues and earnings for the Signature transaction in accordance with ASC 805-10-50-2.

Flagstar Bank

On December 1, 2022, the Company closed the acquisition of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (“Flagstar Bancorp”) in an all-stock transaction. The acquisition of Flagstar has been accounted for as a business combination. The Company recorded the estimate of fair value based on initial valuations available at December 1, 2022. The Company continues to review these valuations and certain of these estimated fair values are considered preliminary as of June 30, 2023, and subject to adjustment for up to one year after December 1, 2022. While the Company believes that the information available on December 1, 2022 provided a reasonable basis for estimating fair value, the Company may obtain additional information and evidence during the measurement period that would result in changes to the estimated fair value amounts. Valuations subject to change include, but are not limited to, loans and leases, certain deposits, intangibles, deferred tax assets and liabilities and certain other assets and other liabilities.

The investment securities designated as having a continuous loss position for twelve months or more at June 30, 2023 consisted of fifty-nine agency collateralized mortgage obligations, six capital trusts notes, nine asset-backed securities, ten corporate bonds, thirty-eight US government agency bonds, 249 mortgage-backed securities, one mutual fund, and one municipal bond.The investment securities designated as having a continuous loss position for twelve months or more at December 31, 2022 consisted of twenty-three agency collateralized mortgage obligations, five capital trusts notes, seven asset-backed securities, two corporate bonds, thirty-three US government agency bonds, 133 mortgage-backed securities, one mutual fund, and one municipal bond.

The Company evaluates available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions at least quarterly to determine if an allowance for credit losses is required. We also assess whether (i) we intend to sell, or (ii) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these criteria is met, any previously recognized allowances are charged off and the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. If neither of the aforementioned criteria are met, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. If this report.

The Parent Company’sassessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited

56


by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

In the first quarter of 2023, the company held a $20 million corporate bond in Signature Bank which was placed into receivership on March 12, 2023. We have taken a $20 million provision for credit loss and charged-off this security during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

None of the remaining unrealized losses identified as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022 relates to the marketability of the securities or the issuers’ ability to pay dividendshonor redemption obligations. Rather, the unrealized losses relate to changes in interest rates relative to when the investment securities were purchased, and do not indicate credit-related impairment. Management based this conclusion on an analysis of each issuer including a detailed credit assessment of each issuer. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the positions before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may also depend,be at maturity. As such, no allowance for credit losses remains with respect to debt securities as of June 30, 2023.
Note 6 - Loans and Leases

The Company classifies loans that we have the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity as LHFI. We report LHFI loans at their amortized cost, which includes the outstanding principal balance adjusted for any unamortized premiums, discounts, deferred fees and unamortized fair value for acquired loans:

Loans with Government Guarantees

Substantially all LGG are insured or guaranteed by the FHA or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Nonperforming repurchased loans in this portfolio earn interest at a rate based upon dividends it receivesthe 10-year U.S. Treasury note rate from the Banks.time the underlying loan becomes 60 days delinquent until the loan is conveyed to HUD (if foreclosure timelines are met), which is not paid by the FHA until claimed. The Bank has a unilateral option to repurchase loans sold to GNMA if the loan is due, but unpaid, for three consecutive months (typically referred to as 90 days past due) and can recover losses through a claims process from the guarantor. These loans are recorded in loans held for investment and the liability to repurchase the loans is recorded in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Certain loans within our portfolio may be subject to
57


indemnifications and insurance limits which expose us to limited credit risk. As of June 30, 2023, LGG loans totaled $614 million and the repurchase liability was $333 million.

Repossessed assets and the associated net claims related to government guaranteed loans are recorded in other assets and was $13 million at June 30, 2023.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale at June 30, 2023 totaled $2.2 billion, up from $1.1 billion at December 31, 2022. The Signature Transaction contributed $360 million in Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans to this increase. We classify loans as held for sale when we originate or purchase loans that we intend to sell. We have elected the fair value option for nearly all of this portfolio, except the SBA loans. We estimate the fair value of mortgage loans based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans, where available, or by discounting estimated cash flows using observable inputs inclusive of interest rates, prepayment speeds and loss assumptions for similar collateral.
Asset Quality
All asset quality information excludes LGG that are insured by U.S government agencies.
A loan generally is classified as a non-accrual loan when it is 90 days or more past due or when it is deemed to be impaired because the Company no longer expects to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, management ceases the accrual of interest owed, and previously accrued interest is charged against interest income. A loan is generally returned to accrual status when the loan is current and management has reasonable assurance that the loan will be fully collectible. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recorded when received in cash. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 we had no loans that were nonperforming and still accruing.

The preceding classifications are the most current ones available and generally have been updated within the last twelve months. In addition, they follow regulatory guidelines and can generally be described as follows: pass loans are of satisfactory quality; special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention; substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged (these loans have a well-defined weakness and there is a possibility that the Company will sustain some loss); and doubtful loans, based on existing circumstances, have weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. In addition, one-to-four family loans are classified based on the duration of the delinquency.

When management determines that foreclosure is probable, for loans that are individually evaluated the expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral adjusted for selling costs. When the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the collateral-dependent practical expedient has been elected and expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate. For CRE loans, collateral properties include office buildings, warehouse/distribution buildings, shopping centers, apartment buildings, residential and commercial tract development. The primary source of repayment on these loans is expected to come from the sale, permanent financing or lease of the real property collateral. CRE loans are impacted by fluctuations in collateral values, as well as the ability of the Community Bankborrower to obtain permanent financing.
The following table summarizes the extent to which collateral secures the Company’s collateral-dependent loans held for investment by collateral type as of June 30, 2023:

There were no significant changes in the Commercial Bankextent to pay dividendswhich collateral secures the Company’s collateral-dependent financial assets during the three and other capital distributions to the Parent Company is generally limited by New York State Banking Law and regulations, and by certain regulations of the FDIC. In addition, the Superintendent of the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “Superintendent”), the FDIC, and the FRB, for reasons of safety and soundness, may prohibit the payment of dividends that are otherwise permissible by regulations.

Under New York State Banking Law, a New York State-chartered stock-form savings bank or commercial bank may declare and pay dividends out of its net profits, unless there is an impairment of capital. However, the approval of the Superintendent is required if the total of all dividends declared in a calendar year would exceed the total of a bank’s net profits for that year, combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two years. In the ninesix months ended September 30, 2017, the Banks paid dividends totaling $276.0 million to the Parent Company, leaving $302.4 million they could dividend to the Parent Company without regulatory approval at that date. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Parent Company at September 30, 2017 included $135.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. If either of the Banks were to apply to the Superintendent for approval to make a dividend or capital distribution in excess of the dividend amounts permitted under the regulations, there can be no assurance that such application would be approved.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We use various financial instruments, including derivatives, in connection with our strategies to mitigate or reduce our exposure to losses from adverse changes in interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments consist of financial forward and futures contracts, IRLCs, swaps, and options, and relate to our mortgage banking operation, residential MSRs, and other risk management activities. These activities will vary in scope based on the level and volatility of interest rates, the types of assets held, and other changing market conditions. At September 30, 2017, we held derivative financial instruments with a notional value of $765.9 million. (See Note 12, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” for a further discussion of our use of such financial instruments.)

Capital Position

In March 2017, the Company raised $502.8 million, net of underwriting and other issuance expenses, through an offering of depositary shares, each representing a 1/40 interest in a share of preferred stock. Primarily reflecting the capital raised, total stockholders’ equity rose $635.7 million from the December 31st balance to $6.8 billion at September 30, 2017.

Common stockholders’ equity represented 12.91%, 12.89%, and 12.52%, respectively, of total assets at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017,2023.

At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, the Company had $93 million and was equivalent$122 million of residential mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure and no residential mortgage loans in the process of foreclosure, respectively.

Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02- Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. For additional information on the adoption, refer to Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation.

When borrowers are experiencing financial difficulty, the Company may make certain loan modifications as part of loss mitigation strategies to maximize expected payment. Modifications in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, or an other-than-insignificant payment delay or a term extension that have occurred in the current reporting period to a book value per common shareborrower experiencing financial difficulty are disclosed along with the financial impact of $12.79, $12.74,the modifications.

The following table summarizes the amortized cost basis of loans modified during the reporting period to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, disaggregated by class of financing receivable and $12.57type of modification:

As of June 30, 2023, there were $3 million one-to-four family first mortgages that were modified for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that received term extension and subsequently defaulted during the period and $3 million one-to-four family first mortgages that were combination modifications and subsequently defaulted during the period.

The performance of loans made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in which modifications were made is closely monitored to understand the effectiveness of modification efforts. Loans are considered to be in payment default at 90 or more days past due. The following table depicts the respective dates.

Troubled Debt Restructurings Prior to Adoption of common stockholders’ equity atASU 2022-02

Prior to the endadoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company accounted for certain loan modifications and restructurings as TDRs. In general, a modification or restructuring of a loan constituted a TDR if the Company granted a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty. A loan modified as a TDR was generally placed on non-accrual status until the Company determined that future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which requires, among other things, that the borrower demonstrate performance according to the restructured terms for a period byof at least six consecutive months. In determining the numberCompany’s allowance for loan and lease losses, reasonably expected TDRs were individually evaluated and consist of common shares outstanding atcriticized, classified, or maturing loans that will have a modification processed within the same date. At September 30, 2017,next three months.

In an effort to proactively manage delinquent loans, the Company has selectively extended to certain borrowers concessions such as rate reductions, extension of maturity dates, and forbearance agreements. As of June 30, 2017,2022, loans on which concessions were made with respect to rate reductions and/or extension of maturity dates amounted to $45 million.

The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases from December 31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a combination of increased loan balances as a result of the Signature Transaction and changes in the macroeconomic environment both on a spot and forecasted basis, specifically the inflationary pressures leading to sharp increases in interest rates and a slow-down of prepayment activity leading to longer weighted average lives on the balance sheet.
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding common shares2022, the allowance for unfunded commitments totaled $34 million and $23 million, respectively.
The Company charges off loans, or portions of 489,061,848, 489,023,298,loans, in the period that such loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. The collectability of individual loans is determined through an assessment of the financial condition and 487,056,676, respectively.

Tangible common stockholders’ equity was relativelyrepayment capacity of the borrower and/or through an estimate of the fair value of any underlying collateral. For non-real estate-related consumer credits, the following past-due time periods determine when charge-offs are typically recorded: (1) closed-end credits are charged off in the quarter that the loan becomes 120 days past due; (2) open-end credits are charged off in the quarter that the loan becomes 180 days past due; and (3) both closed-end and open-end credits are typically charged off in the quarter that the credit is 60 days past the date the Company received notification that the borrower has filed for bankruptcy.

Note 8 - Leases
Lessor Arrangements
The Company is a lessor in the equipment finance business where it has executed direct financing leases (“lease finance receivables”). The Company produces lease finance receivables through a specialty finance subsidiary that participates in syndicated loans that are brought to them, and equipment loans and leases that are assigned to them, by a select group of nationally recognized sources, and are generally made to large corporate obligors, many of which are publicly traded, carry investment grade or near-investment grade ratings, and participate in stable industries nationwide. Lease finance receivables are carried at $3.8 billion, representing 8.30%the aggregate of tangiblelease payments receivable plus the estimated residual value of the leased assets and any initial direct costs incurred to originate these leases, less unearned income, which is accreted to interest income over the lease term using the interest method.

The standard leases are typically repayable on a tangible book value per common share of $7.81 at September 30, 2017.level monthly basis with terms ranging from 24 to 120 months. At the end of the second quarter, tangible common stockholders’ equity also totaled $3.8 billionlease term, the lessee usually has the option to return the equipment, to renew the lease or 8.27%purchase the equipment at the then fair market value (“FMV”) price. For leases with a FMV renewal/purchase option, the relevant residual value assumptions are based on the estimated value of tangible assets and a tangible book value per common share of $7.76. At December 31, 2016, tangible common stockholders’ equity totaled $3.7 billion, representing 7.93% of tangible assets, and a tangible book value per common share of $7.57.

We calculate tangible common stockholders’ equity by subtracting the amount of goodwill and CDI recordedleased asset at the end of the lease term, including evaluation of key factors, such as, the estimated remaining useful life of the leased asset, its historical secondary market value including history of the lessee executing the FMV option, overall credit evaluation and return provisions. The Company acquires the leased asset at fair market value and provides funding to the respective lessee at acquisition cost, less any volume or trade discounts, as applicable. Therefore, there is generally no selling profit or loss to recognize or defer at inception of a period fromlease.

The residual value component of a lease financing receivable represents the amountestimated fair value of common stockholders’ equity recorded at the same date. At September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we recorded goodwill of $2.4 billion; CDI was zero, $24,000, and $208,000, respectively, at the corresponding dates. (See the discussion and reconciliations of stockholders’ equity, common stockholders’ equity, and tangible common stockholders’ equity; total assets and tangible assets; and the related financial measures that appear earlier in this report.)

Stockholders’ equity, common stockholders’ equity, and tangible common stockholders’ equity include AOCL, which increased $3.1 million from the balanceleased equipment at the end of Junethe lease term. In establishing residual value estimates, the Company may rely on industry data, historical experience, and decreased $52.3 million from the end of December to $4.4 million at September 30, 2017. The increase was the resultindependent appraisals and, where appropriate, information regarding product life cycle, product upgrades and competing products. Upon expiration of a $4.3lease, residual assets are remarketed, resulting in either an extension of the lease by the lessee, a lease to a new customer or purchase of the residual asset by the lessee or another party. Impairment of residual values arises if the expected fair value is less than the carrying amount. The Company assesses its net investment in lease financing receivables (including residual values) for impairment on an annual basis with any impairment losses recognized in accordance with the impairment guidance for financial instruments. As such, net investment in lease financing receivables may be reduced by an allowance for credit losses with changes recognized as provision expense. On certain lease financings, the Company obtains residual value insurance from third parties to manage and reduce the risk associated with the residual value of the leased assets. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of residual assets with third-party residual value insurance for at least a portion of the asset value was $428 million increaseand $32 million, respectively.

The Company uses the interest rate implicit in the lease to determine the present value of its lease financing receivables.

Earnings Summary for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

Net income available to common shareholders (“net income”) totaled $102.3 million in the current third quarter, equivalent to $0.21 per diluted common share. In the trailing and year-earlier quarters, net income totaled $107.0 million and $125.3 million, and was equivalent to $0.22 and $0.26 per diluted common share, respectively. The sequential and year-over-year declines in net income were primarily due to a decrease in net interest income, as further discussed below.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is our primary source of income. Its level is a function remaining maturity analysis of the average balance of our interest-earning assets, the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities, and the spread between the yield on such assets and the cost of such liabilities. These factors are influenced by both the pricing and mix of our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by various external factors, including the local economy, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the FOMC, and market interest rates.

The cost of our deposits and short-term borrowed funds is largely based on short-term rates of interest, the level of which is partially impacted by the actions of the FOMC. The FOMC reduces, maintains, or increases the target federal funds rate (the rate at which banks borrow funds overnight from one another) as it deems necessary. Since the fourth quarter of 2008, when the target federal funds rate was lowered to a range of 0% to 0.25%, the rate has been raised three times: on December 17, 2015, to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%; on December 14, 2016, to a range of 0.50% to 0.75%; on March 15, 2017, to a range of 0.75% to 1.00%, and, most recently on June 14, 2017 to a range of 1.00% to 1.25%.

While the target federal funds rate generally impacts the cost of our short-term borrowings and deposits, the yields on ourheld-for-investment loans and other interest-earning assets are typically impacted by intermediate-term market interest rates. In the third quarter of 2017, the average five-year CMT was 1.81%, unchanged from the trailing quarter and as compared to 1.13% for the year-earlier quarter. The averageten-year CMT was 2.24% in the current third quarter, as compared to 2.26% and 1.56%, respectively, in the prior periods.

Net interest income is also influenced by the level of prepayment income primarily generated in connection with the prepayment of our multi-family and CRE loans,undiscounted lease receivables, as well as securities. Since prepayment income is recorded as interest income, an increase or decrease in its level will also be reflectedthe reconciliation to the total amount of receivables recognized in the average yields (as applicable) on our loans, securities,Consolidated Statements of Condition:

These leases generally have terms of prepayment income on loans recorded in any given period depends20 years or less, determined based on the volumecontractual maturity of loansthe lease, and include periods covered by options to extend or terminate the lease when the Company is reasonably certain that refinance or prepay during that time. Such activity is largely dependent on such external factors as current market conditions, including real estate values, andit will exercise those options. For the perceived or actual directionvast majority of market interest rates. In addition, while a decline in market interest rates may trigger an increase in refinancing and, therefore, prepayment income, so too may an increase in market interest rates. It isthe Company’s leases, we are not unusual for borrowersreasonably certain we will exercise our options to lock in lower interest rates when they expect, or see, that market interest rates are rising rather than risk refinancing later at a still higher interest rate.

The Company recorded net interest income of $276.3 million in the current second quarter, an $11.4 million decrease from the trailing-quarter level and a $42.1 million decrease from the year-earlier amount.

Linked-Quarter Comparison

The sequential decline in net interest income was attributablerenew to a variety of factors, including an increase in our cost of funds, as short-term interest rates rose in the quarter.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at lower yields, negatively impacted net interest income. This was partially offset by modest loan growth along with stable loan yields.

Note 9 - Mortgage Servicing Rights
The increaseCompany has investments in the interest income from securities and interest-earning cash and cash equivalents was due to increases in both the average balances and in the average yields. The average balance rose $1.8 billion to $6.1 billion due to the aforementioned investment of the cash proceedsMSRs that result from the sale of our covered loan portfolio. Prepayment income on securities contributed 28 basis pointsloans to the average yield on securities, an increase of 11 basis points.

Assecondary market for which we retain the servicing. The Company accounts for MSRs at their fair value. A primary risk associated with MSRs is the potential reduction in fair value as a result the average balance of interest-earninghigher than anticipated prepayments due to loan refinancing prompted, in part, by declining interest rates or government intervention. Conversely, these assets rose $514.9 million sequentially, to $43.9 billion and the average yield on such assets declined nine basis points to 3.59%.

Interest expense rose $6.0 million sequentially to $117.3 million, as a $7.1 milliongenerally increase in value in a rising interest expense on total interest-bearing deposits combined with a $1.1 million decreaserate environment to the extent that prepayments are slower than anticipated. The Company utilizes derivatives as economic hedges to offset changes in the interest expense on borrowed funds.

Specifically, interest expense on interest-bearing deposits rose to $62.4 million, due to a $153.2 million decline infair value of the average balance to $26.2 billion combined with a nine-basis point increase in the average cost of such funds to 0.94%. However, interest expense on borrowed funds dropped to $55.0 million as a $798.3 million decline in the average balance to $12.4 billion was offset by asix-basis point increase in the average cost to 1.76%.

As a result, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities fell $645.2 million sequentially, to $38.6 billion and the average cost of funds rose seven basis points to 1.21%.

Year-Over-Year Comparison

The following factors contributed to the year-over-year reduction in net interest income:

Interest income fell $22.4 million year-over-year as a $5.5 million decline in the interest income from securities and interest-earning cash and cash equivalents was coupled with a $16.9 million decline in the interest income from loans.

The decline in the interest income from loans was largely due to a $1.5 billion decline in the average balance and a three-basis point decline in the average yield. In addition, prepayment income contributed $13.4 million to the interest income from loans and 14 basis points to the average yield on such assets in the year-earlier quarter.

The year-over-year reduction in interest income from securities was driven by a $829.0 million increase in the average balance, offset by a53-basis point drop in the average yield.

As a result, the average balance of interest-earning assets rose $90.8 millionMSRs resulting from the year-earlier level and the average yield fell 21 basis points.

Interest expense rose $19.7 million year-over-year as the interest expense on deposits rose $18.6 million and the interest expense on borrowed funds rose $1.1 million.

The year-over-year riseactual or anticipated changes in interest expenseprepayments stemming from deposits was due tochanging interest rate environments. There is also a28-basis point rise in the average cost risk of such fundsvaluation decline due to higher short-term interestthan expected default rates, offset by an $18.0 million decreasewhich we do not believe can be effectively managed using derivatives.

The increase in the interest income from borrowed funds was driven by a21-basis point rise in the average cost of such fundingsensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and mitigated by a $1.4 billion decline in the average balance from the year-earlier amount.

As a result, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities fell $1.4 million and the average cost of funds rose 24 basis points year-over-year.

Net Interest Margin

The direction of the Company’s net interest margin was consistent with that of its net interest income, and generally was driven by the same factors as those described above. At 2.53%, the margin was 12 basis points narrower than the trailing-quarter measure and 38 basis points narrower than the margin recorded in the third quarter of last year. The respective reductions were due, in part, to a decline in prepayment income from the levels recorded in the trailing and year-earlier quarters, as reflected in the following table:

(1)“Adjusted net interest margin” is anon-GAAP financial measure, as more fully discussed below.

While our net interest margin, including the contribution of prepayment income, is recorded in accordance with GAAP, adjusted net interest margin, which excludes the contribution of prepayment income, is not. Nevertheless, management uses thisnon-GAAP measure in its analysis of our performance, and believes that thisnon-GAAP measure should be disclosed in this report and other investor communications for the following reasons:

1.Adjusted net interest margin gives investors a better understanding of the effect of prepayment income on our net interest margin. Prepayment income in any given period depends on the volume of loans that refinance or prepay, or securities that prepay, during that period. Such activity is largely dependent on external factors such as current market conditions, including real estate values, and the perceived or actual direction of market interest rates.

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

Adjusted net interest margin should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in isolationfair 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. For further information on the fair value of MSRs.

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

Note 10 - Variable Interest Entities
    We have no consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
In connection with our non-qualified mortgage securitization activities, we have retained a five percent interest in the investment securities of certain trusts ("other MBS") and are contracted as the subservicer of the underlying loans, compensated based on market rates, which constitutes a continuing involvement in these trusts. Although we have a variable interest in these securitization trusts, we are not their primary beneficiary due to the relative size of our investment in comparison to the total amount of securities issued by the VIE and our inability to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As a result, we have not consolidated the assets and liabilities of the VIE in our Consolidated Statements of Condition. The Bank’s maximum exposure to loss is calculatedlimited to our five percent retained interest in accordancethe investment securities that had a fair value of $183 million as of June 30, 2023 as well as the standard representations and warranties made in conjunction with GAAP.

Provision for Losses on Non-Covered Loans

The provision for losses onnon-covered loans is basedfair value of $9.57 per share on the methodology used by management in calculatingdate of grant, during the allowance for lossessix months ended June 30, 2023.


The shares of restricted stock that were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, vest over a one- or five years period. Compensation and benefits expense related to the restricted stock grants is recognized on such loans. Reflecting this methodology, which is discussed in detail under “Critical Accounting Policies,” we recorded a $44.6 million provision fornon-covered loan losses instraight-line basis over the current third quarter, as compared to $11.6vesting period and totaled $18 million and $1.2$14 million infor the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, including $9 million and $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 20172023 and SeptemberJune 30, 2016. 2022.

Note 14 - Derivative and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposure to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate and liquidity risks, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and, the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. The Company's policy is to present our derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Condition on a gross basis, even when provisions allowing for set-off are in place. However, for derivative contracts cleared through certain central clearing parties, variation margin payments are recognized as settlements. We are exposed to non-performance risk by the counterparties to our various derivative financial instruments. 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. The Company maintains a derivative portfolio of interest rate swaps, foreign currency swaps, futures and forward commitments used to manage exposure to changes in interest rates and MSR asset values and to meet the needs of customers. The Company also enters 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 LHFS is managed using corresponding forward sale commitments and US Treasury futures. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments. The Company has designated certain interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges on overnight SOFR-based variable interest payments on federal home loan bank advances. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Statements of Condition and reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the hedge transaction is recognized in earnings. At June 30, 2023, the Company had $69 million (net-of-tax) of unrealized gains on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company had $52 million (net-of-tax) of unrealized gains on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2022.
Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are assessed for effectiveness using regression analysis at inception and qualitatively thereafter, unless regression analysis is deemed necessary. All designated hedge relationships were, and are expected to be, highly effective as of June 30, 2023.
Fair Value of Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed-rate assets due to changes in interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the payment of fixed-rate amounts to a counterparty in exchange for the Company receiving variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Such derivatives were used to hedge the changes in fair value of certain of its pools of prepayable fixed rate assets. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.

The Company has entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amounts of $2.0 billion to hedge certain real estate loans using the portfolio layer method. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the floating rate received related to the net settlement of this interest rate swap was greater than the fixed rate payments. As such, interest income from loans and leases in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was increased by $6 million.

The fair value basis adjustment on our taxi medallion-related loans. Inhedged real estate loans is included in loans and leases held for investment on our Consolidated Statements of Condition. The carrying amount of our hedged loans was $6.4 billion at June 30, 2023, of which unrealized gains of $34 million were due to the third quarterfair value hedge relationship. We have designated $2.0 billion of 2017,this portfolio of loans in a hedging relationship as of June 30, 2023.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of amounts subject to variability caused by changes in interest rates from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects income.

Interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $5.5 billion and $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, were designated as cash flow hedges of certain FHLB borrowings.

Note 16 - Fair Value Measures
GAAP sets forth a definition of fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. GAAP also clarifies that fair value is an “exit” price, representing the amount that would be received when selling an asset, or paid when transferring a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value is thus a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which $40.6 million wasprioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability.
A financial instrument’s categorization within this valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications for its assets on a quarterly basis. Changes from one quarter to the next that are related to taxi medallion-related loans, comparedthe observability of inputs for a fair value measurement may result in a reclassification from one hierarchy level to another.
A description of the year-earlier quarter during whichmethods and significant assumptions utilized in estimating the fair values of securities follows:
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government securities and exchange-traded securities.
If quoted market prices are not available for a specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models. These pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices, and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, models incorporate transaction details such as maturity and cash flow assumptions. Securities valued in this manner would generally be classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, and primarily include such instruments as mortgage-related and corporate debt securities.

Periodically, the Company recorded net recoveries of $412,000, of which $49,000 was relateduses fair values supplied by independent pricing services to taxi medallion-related loans.

Non-Interest Income

We generatenon-interest income through a variety of sources, including—among others—mortgage banking income; fee income (in the form of retail deposit fees and charges on loans); income from our investment in BOLI; gains on the sale of securities; and revenues produced through the sale of third-party investment products and those produced through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Peter B. Cannell & Co., Inc. (“PBC”), an investment advisory firm.

Non-interest income totaled $108.9 million in the current third quarter, up $58.5 millionfair values derived from the trailing-quarter level and $68.3 million from the year-earlier amount. The linked-quarter improvement was primarily driven by an $82.0 million gain on sale of covered loans and mortgage banking operations. This was partially offset by a $6.7 million decline in mortgage banking income. The year-over-year increase reflects contributions from the same factors which impacted the linked-quarter results.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense has two primary components: operating expenses, which consist of compensation and benefits expense, occupancy and equipment expense, and G&A expense, and the amortization of the CDI stemming from certain merger transactions.

Non-interest expense totaled $162.2 million in the current third quarter, a $1.5 million decrease from the trailing-quarter level and a $549,000 increase from the year-earlier amount. Merger-related expenses added $2.2 million tonon-interest expense in the year-earlier quarter; there were no comparable expenses in the current quarter.    

The majority of the Company’snon-interest expense consists of operating expenses, which totaled $162.2 million in the current third quarter, as compared to $163.7 million and $158.9 million, respectively, in the trailing and year-earlier periods. The linked-quarter decrease was driven by a $1.3 million decline in compensation and benefits expense to $91.6 million and a $2.0 million decrease in G&A expense to $45.5 million, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in occupancy and equipment expense to $25.1 million.

The year-over-year increase in operating expenses was largely due to a $5.5 million increase in compensation and benefits expense coupled with a $3.0 million decrease in G&A expense. The year-over-year rise in compensation and benefits expense was generally attributable to the addition of senior level staff in various departments, while the year-over-year decline in G&A expense was largely attributable to lower FDIC insurance premiums.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense totaled $68.0 million in the current third quarter, $2.5 million higher than the trailing-quarter level and $4.1 million lower than the year-earlier third-quarter amount.

Whilepre-tax income declined $2.3 million sequentially, to $178.5 million, the effective tax rate increased to 38.10% in the current third quarter from 36.22% in the trailing three-month period.

In the third quarter of 2016,pre-tax income was $18.9 million higher than the current third-quarter level, and the effective tax rate was 36.52%.

Earnings Summary for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

In the first nine months of 2017, we generated net income available to common shareholders of $313.3 million or $0.64 per diluted common share as compared to net income available to common shareholders of $381.7 million, or $0.78 per diluted common share, in the first nine months of 2016.

Merger-related expenses totaled $4.7 million in the year-earlier nine months; there were no merger-related expenses in the current nine-month period.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income fell $112.8 million year-over-year to $859.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was the net effect of a $67.7 million decrease in interest income to $1.2 billion and a $45.2 million increase in interest expense to $332.8 million. During this time, our net interest margin fell 32 basis points to 2.63%.

The following factors contributed to the year-over-year decrease in net interest income and margin:

Prepayment penalty income contributed $43.7 million to net interest income in the first nine months of 2017, a $28.7 million decrease from the amount contributed in the first nine months of 2016.pricing models. In addition, the current nine-month amount contributed 13 basis pointsCompany reviews the fair values supplied by independent pricing services, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness. The Company challenges pricing service valuations that appear to our netbe unusual or unexpected.
While the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate, and consistent with those of other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair values of certain financial instruments could result in different estimates of fair values at a reporting date.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Such instruments are subject to fair value adjustments under certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). The following tables present assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and that were included in averagethe Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition at those dates:

(2)Represents the fair value of impaired loans, based on the value of the collateral.
The fair values of collateral-dependent impaired loans are determined using various valuation techniques, including consideration of appraised values and other pertinent real estate and other market data.
Other Fair Value Disclosures
For the disclosure of fair value information about the Company’s on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments, when available, quoted market prices are used as the measure of fair value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on present-value estimates or other valuation techniques. Such fair values are significantly affected by the assumptions used, the timing of future cash flows, and the discount rate.
Because assumptions are inherently subjective in nature, estimated fair values cannot be substantiated by comparison to $38.7 billionindependent market quotes. Furthermore, in many cases, the estimated fair values provided would not necessarily be realized in an immediate sale or settlement of such instruments.

The methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair values for the Company’s financial instruments follow:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. The estimated fair values of cash and cash equivalents are assumed to $4.9 billion, partly offsetequal their carrying values, as these financial instruments are either due on demand or have short-term maturities.
Securities
If quoted market prices are not available for a specific security, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows. These pricing models primarily use market-based or independently sourced market parameters as inputs, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, equity or debt prices, and credit spreads. In addition to observable market information, pricing models also incorporate transaction details such as maturities and cash flow assumptions.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
Ownership in equity securities of the FHLB is generally restricted and there is no established liquid market for their resale. The carrying amount approximates the fair value.
81


Loans
The Company discloses the fair value of loans measured at amortized cost using an exit price notion. The Company determined the fair value on substantially all of its loans for disclosure purposes, on an individual loan basis. The discount rates reflect current market rates for loans with similar terms to borrowers having similar credit quality on an exit price basis. The estimated fair values of non-performing mortgage and other loans are based on recent collateral appraisals. For those loans where a17-basis point decline discounted cash flow technique was not considered reliable, the Company used a quoted market price for each individual loan.

MSRs
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 result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Weighted average yield on interest-earning assetslife (in years) is used to 3.65%determine the change in fair value of MSRs. For June 30, 2023, the weighted average life (in years) for the entire MSR portfolio was 6.96.

Rate lock commitments
The significant unobservable input used in the first nine monthsfair value measurement of this year. While the average yieldrate 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 loans fellupdated 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 result in a modest eight basis points year-over-yearsignificantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
Deposits
The fair values of deposit liabilities with no stated maturity (i.e., interest-bearing checking and money market accounts, savings accounts, and non-interest-bearing accounts) are equal to 3.69%, the average yieldcarrying amounts payable on securities declined 50 basis points to 3.72%.

Average interest-bearing liabilities declined $1.1 billion year-over-year to $39.1 billion, reflectingdemand. The fair values of CDs represent contractual cash flows, discounted using interest rates currently offered on deposits with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. These estimated fair values do not include the intangible value of core deposit relationships, which comprise a $1.1 billion decrease in average borrowed funds to $13.0 billion and a $20.4 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits to $26.1 billion. During this time,portion of the average cost of funds rose 19 basis points to 1.14%, as the average costCompany’s deposit base.
Borrowed Funds
The estimated fair value of borrowed funds rose 18 basis pointsis based either on bid quotations received from securities dealers or the discounted value of contractual cash flows with interest rates currently in effect for borrowed funds with similar maturities and structures.
Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments
The fair values of commitments to 1.71%,extend credit and unadvanced lines of credit are estimated based on an analysis of the interest rates and fees currently charged to enter into similar transactions, considering the remaining terms of the commitments and the average costcreditworthiness of interest-bearing deposits increased 21 basis pointsthe potential borrowers. The estimated fair values of such off-balance sheet financial instruments were insignificant at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Fair Value Option
We elected the fair value option for certain items as discussed throughout the Notes to 0.85%.the Consolidated Financial Statements to more closely align the accounting method with the underlying economic exposure. Interest income on LHFS is accrued on the principal outstanding primarily using the "simple-interest" method.

(1) “Adjusted net interest margin” is anon-GAAP financial measure, as more fully discussed below.

While our net interest margin, including the contribution of prepayment income, is recorded in accordance with GAAP, adjusted net interest margin, which excludes the contribution of prepayment income, is not. Nevertheless, management uses thisnon-GAAP measure in its analysis of our performance, and believes that thisnon-GAAP measure should be disclosed"Market Risk" in this report in "Management’s Discussion and other investor communications for the following reasons:

1.Adjusted net interest margin gives investors a better understanding of the effect of prepayment income on our net interest margin. Prepayment income in any given period depends on the volume of loans that refinance or prepay, or securities that prepay, during that period. Such activity is largely dependent on external factors such as current market conditions, including real estate values, and the perceived or actual direction of market interest rates.

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

Adjusted net interest margin should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net interest margin,Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" which is calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate thisnon-GAAP measure may differ from that of other companies reporting anon-GAAP measure with a similar name.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding our average balance sheet for the nine-month periods indicated, including the average yields on our interest-earning assets and the average costs of our interest-bearing liabilities. Average yields are calculatedincorporated herein by dividing the interest income produced by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Average costs are calculated by dividing the interest expense produced by the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances for the nine-month periods are derived from average balances that are calculated daily. The average yields and costs include fees, as well as premiums and discounts (includingmark-to-market adjustments from acquisitions), that are considered adjustments to such average yields and costs.

Provision for Loan Losses

Provision for Losses onNon-Covered Loans

Reflecting the methodology used by management to calculate the allowance fornon-covered loan losses, we recorded a provision for losses onnon-covered loans of $58.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $6.7 million in the year ago nine months. The higher loan loss provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due to our taxi medallion-related loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $57.4 million, of which $54.8 million was due to taxi medallion-related loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded a net recovery of $882,000, with taxi medallion-related charge-offs of $265,000.

Provision for (Recovery of) Losses on Covered Loans

In the first nine months of 2017, we recovered $23.7 million from the allowance for covered loan losses, reflecting an increase in expected cash flows from certain pools of covered loans as their credit quality improved and the aforementioned sale of the covered loans. In connection with this recovery, we recorded FDIC indemnification expense of $19.0 million in“Non-interest income” during the corresponding period.

In the first nine months of 2016, we recovered $6.0 million from the allowance for covered loan losses, reflecting an increase in expected cash flows from certain pools of covered loans as their credit quality improved. In connection with this recovery, we recorded FDIC indemnification income of $4.8 million in“Non-interest income” during the corresponding period.

Non-Interest Income

In the first nine months of 2017, we recordednon-interest income of $191.5 million, as compared to $113.2 million in the first nine months of 2016. The $78.3 million increase was largely driven by the $82.0 million gain on the sale of our covered loans and mortgage banking operations and a net gain on sales of securities of $28.9 million. This was partially offset by lower mortgage banking income and lower gains on sales of loans.

Non-Interest Expense

In the first nine months of 2017, we recordednon-interest expense of $492.9 million, reflecting an $11.9 million increase from the year-earlier amount. Operating expenses accounted for $492.7 million of the current nine-month total, and were up $18.4 million year-over-year.

The rise in operating expenses was largely due to an $18.8 million increase in compensation and benefits expense to $280.0 million, while most other expense categories were flat on a year-over-year basis.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense fell $28.1 million year-over-year to $193.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During this time,pre-tax income declined $80.0 million to $523.3 million, while the effective tax rate rose modestly to 37.00%, as compared to 36.74%.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the Company’s market risk were presented on pages83-87 of our 2016 Annual Report on Form10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2017.

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. All such actions in the aggregate involve amounts that are believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, readers should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I,


Item 1A.Risk Factors

Please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” inof the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as such2022 and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 for information regarding risk factors that could materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, or future results of operations. ThereOther than as set forth below, there have been no material changes with regard to the risk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form10-K.

The risks described 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.


Any failure, breach, or interruption in service involving our systems or those of our service providers could damage our reputation, cause losses, increase our expenses, and result in a loss of customers, an increase in regulatory scrutiny, heightened cyber risk, or expose us to civil litigation and possibly financial liability, any of which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our stock.

Communication and information systems are essential to the conduct of our business, as we use such systems, and those maintained and provided to us by third-party service providers, to manage our customer relationships, our general ledger, our deposits, and our loans. In addition, our operations rely on the secure processing, storage, and transmission of confidential and other information in our computer systems and networks. Although we take protective measures and endeavor to modify them as circumstances warrant, the security of our computer systems, software, and networks have been , and may in the 2016 Annual Reportfuture be, vulnerable to breaches, unauthorized access, misuse, computer viruses, or other malicious code and cyber-attacks that have had and could have an impact on Form10-Kinformation security. With the rise and permeation of online and mobile banking, the financial services industry in particular faces substantial cybersecurity risk due to the type of sensitive information provided by customers. We, and our third-party service providers, have been and may in the future be subject to cybersecurity incidents, including those affecting other financial institutions and industry groups. Our systems and those of our third-party service providers and customers are regularly the subject of attempted attacks that are increasingly sophisticated, and it is possible that we or they could experience a significant event in the future that could adversely affect our business or operations. In addition, breaches of security have in the past and may in the future occur through intentional or unintentional acts by those having authorized or unauthorized access to our confidential or other information, or that of our customers, clients, or counterparties. Certain previously identified cyber incidents have resulted, and future such events could result, in the breach of confidential and other information processed and stored in our computer systems and networks. These events could cause interruptions or malfunctions in our operations or the operations of our customers, clients, or counterparties. Further, we may not know that an attack occurred until well after the event. Even after discovering an attempt or breach occurred, we may not know the extent of the impact of the attack for some period of time. This could cause us significant reputational damage or result in our experiencing significant losses.

While we diligently assess applicable regulatory and legislative developments affecting our business, laws and regulations relating to cybersecurity have been frequently changing, imposing new requirements on us. In light of these conditions, we face the potential for additional regulatory scrutiny that will lead to increasing compliance and technology expenses and, in some cases, possible limitations on the achievement of our plans for growth and other strategic objectives. We may also be required to expend significant additional resources to modify our protective measures or investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks, including expenses for third-party expert consultants or outside counsel. We also may be subject to litigation and financial losses that either are not the only risksinsured against or not fully covered through any insurance we maintain. We believe that the Company faces. Additional risksimpact of any previously identified cyber incidents, including those subject to ongoing investigation and uncertaintiesremediation, will not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial, also may have a material adversefinancial impact onand we have cyber insurance in place.

In addition, we routinely transmit and receive personal, confidential, and proprietary information by e-mail and other electronic means. We have discussed, and worked with our customers, clients, and counterparties to develop secure transmission capabilities, but we do not have, and may be unable to put in place, secure capabilities with all of these constituents, and we may not be able to ensure that these third parties have appropriate controls in place to protect the Company’s business,

While we have established information security policies and procedures, including an Incident Response Plan, to prevent or limit the impact of Equity Securitiessystems failures and Use of Proceeds
