GLOSSARY

BASIS POINT

Throughout this filing, the year-over-year and quarter over quarter 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%.

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 is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity less preferred stock at the end of a period, by the number of shares outstanding at the same date.

BROKERED DEPOSITS

Refers to 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 on loans and leases.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOAN

A mortgage loan secured by either an income-producing property owned by an investor and leased primarily for commercial purposes or, to a lesser extent, an owner-occupied building used for business purposes. The CRE loans in our portfolio are typically secured by either office buildings, retail shopping centers, light industrial centers 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 acquisition, development, and construction (“ADC”) loans divided by total risk-based capital.

DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE RATIO

An indication of a borrower’s ability to repay a loan, the DSCR generally measures the cash flows available 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.

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.

3


GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ENTERPRISES

Refers to a group of financial services corporations that were created by the United States Congress to enhance the availability, and reduce the cost of, credit to certain targeted borrowing sectors, including home finance. The GSEs include, but are not limited to, the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), and the Federal Home Loan Banks (the “FHLBs”).

GSE OBLIGATIONS

Refers to GSE mortgage-related securities (both certificates and collateralized mortgage obligations) and GSE debentures.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Refers to the likelihood that the interest earned on assets and the interest paid on liabilities will change as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates.

INTEREST RATE SPREAD

The difference between the yield earned on average interest-earning assets and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities.

LOAN-TO-VALUE RATIO

Measures the balance of a loan as a percentage of the appraised value of the underlying 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 interest income generated by loans and securities and the interest expense produced by deposits and borrowed funds.

NET INTEREST MARGIN

Measures net interest income as a percentage of average 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 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 on non-accrual status, we cease the accrual of interest owed, 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 are 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans, OREO and other repossessed assets.

OREO AND OTHER REPOSSESSED ASSETS

Includes real estate owned by the Company which was acquired either through foreclosure or default. Repossessed assets are similar, except they are not real estate-related assets.

RENT-REGULATED APARTMENTS

In New York City, where the vast majority of the properties securing our multi-family loans are located, the amount of rent that tenants may be charged on the apartments in certain buildings is restricted under rent-stabilization laws. Rent-stabilized apartments are generally located in buildings with six or more units that were built between February 1947 and January 1974. Rent-regulated

4


apartments tend to be more affordable to live in because of the applicable regulations, and buildings with a preponderance of such rent-regulated apartments are therefore less likely to experience vacancies in times of economic adversity.

TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURING

A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties.

WHOLESALE BORROWINGS

Refers to advances drawn by the Bank against its line(s) of credit with the FHLBs, their repurchase agreements with the FHLBs and various brokerage firms, and federal funds purchased.

YIELD

The interest income associated with interest-earning assets, typically expressed as a ratio of interest income to the average balance of interest-earning assets for a given period.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization, and Basis of Presentation, and Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Organization

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”“Bank”). 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$0.01 per share) at a price of $25.00$25.00 per share ($($0.93 per share on a split-adjusted basis, reflecting the impact of nine stock splits between 1994 and 2004)2004). The Commercial Bank was established on December 30, 2005.

Reflecting its growth through acquisitions, the CommunityThe Bank currently operates 225237 branches, two18 of which operate directly under the New York Community Bank name. The remaining 223219 Community Bank branches operate through seveneight divisional banks: Queens County Savings Bank, Roslyn Savings Bank, Richmond County Savings Bank, and Roosevelt Savings Bank, and Atlantic 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 allowancesallowance for loan losses;credit losses and the evaluation of goodwill for impairment; and the evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets.impairment.

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”).securities. See Note 7, “BorrowedBorrowed Funds, for additional information regarding these trusts.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-01—Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging-Portfolio Layer Method in the first quarter of 2022 upon issuance. The amendments expand the current last-of-layer method of hedge accounting that permits only one hedged layer to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio. To reflect that expansion, the last-of-layer method is renamed the portfolio layer method. In addition, the amendments expand the scope of the portfolio layer method to include non-prepayable assets; specify eligible hedging instruments in a single-layer hedge; provide additional guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments; specify how hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for the assets included in the closed portfolio. To date, the guidance has not had any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Note 2. Computation of Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”)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

12


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:

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 recovering the fair value of these securities, together with the severity and duration of impairment to date, 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, or to the failure of the securities to fully recover in value as currently anticipated 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 consisted of five50 agency MBS, 11 agency CMOs, 5 capital trusttrusts notes, 5 asset-backed securities, 2 corporate bonds, 24 U.S. government agency bonds, 1 municipal bond and five agency mortgage-related securities. At December 31, 20161 equity security. The investment securities designated as having a continuous loss position for twelve months or more at December 31, 2021 consisted of five4 agency collateralized mortgage obligations, 5 capital trust notes. At September 30, 2017,trusts notes, 4 asset-backed securities, 2 corporate bonds, 20 US government agency bonds, 21 agency mortgage-backed securities and 1 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. Based on an evaluation of available information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that are relevant to collectability, the Company has concluded that it expects to receive all contractual cash flows from each security held in its available-for-sale securities portfolio.

We first 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 is met, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security is 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 by the amount that the fair value of securities having a continuous loss position for twelve months or more was 18.4% belowis less than the collective amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.

None of $62.5 million. Atthe unrealized losses identified as of June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2016,2021 relates to the fair valuemarketability of suchthe securities was 32.2% belowor the collectiveissuers’ ability to honor 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 be at maturity. As such, no allowance for credit losses was recorded with respect to debt securities as of $43.7 million. At Septemberor during the six months ended June 30, 20172022.

Management has made the accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities from the estimate of credit losses. Available-for-sale debt securities are placed on non-accrual status when we no longer expect to receive all contractual amounts due, which is generally at 90 days past due. Accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income when a security is placed on non-accrual status.

Non-Covered Loans

Non-CoveredLoans 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”)CRE loans, most of which are collateralized by income-producing properties such as office buildings, retail centers,mixed-use buildings, and multi-tenanted light industrial properties that are located in New York City and on Long Island.

To a lesser extent, theThe Company also originatesone-to-four One-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 primarily originated through the Company’s former mortgage banking operation and primarily consisted of jumbo prime adjustable rate mortgages made to borrowers with a solid credit history. These loan balances include certain mixed-use CRE loans with less than five residential units classified as one-to-four family loans.

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, “specialtyspecialty finance loans and leases”)leases) that 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”other C&I loans that primarily are made to small andmid-size businesses in Metro New York. “Other”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 of the cash flows being produced by the underlying property. In addition, multi-family buildings, CRE properties, 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.

17


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, the cost of completion is greater than expected, or the length of time to complete and/or sell or lease 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 in or outright ownership inof 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016, respectively,2021 were loans of $58.7$6 million and $91.8 million to certain 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 livesAs of the loans. Under ASC310-30, purchasers are permittedsecond quarter of 2021, the Board of Directors adopted a revised policy in which the Bank shall no longer make loans or extensions of credit 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 rateexecutive officers and an aggregate expectationdirectors 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 Freedom Mortgage Corporation (“Freedom”). 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 FDIC 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 Income and Comprehensive Income. Effective October 31, 2017, the Company, and firms that employ directors. Any loans and extensions of credit made to an executive officer or director, or any firms that employ directors, prior to the FDIC completed terminationadoption of these revisions have been grandfathered but remain subject to oversight and review of the LSA.

Includes lease financing receivables, all of which were classified as Pass.

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.

When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are classified based on the durationfair value of the delinquency.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 borrower to obtain permanent financing.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

The Company is required to account for certainheld-for-investment loan modifications and restructurings as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).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 determining the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses, reasonably expected TDRs are individually evaluated and consist of criticized, classified, or maturing loans that will have a modification processed within the 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, loans on which concessions were made with respect to rate reductions and/or extension of maturity dates amounted to $41.5 million; loans$45 million.

The CARES Act was enacted on which forbearance agreements were reached amountedMarch 27, 2020. Under the CARES Act, the Company made the election to $1.8 million.

The following table presents information regardingdeem that loan modifications do not result in TDRs if they are (1) related to the Company’s TDRsnovel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”); (2) executed on a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; and (3) executed between March 1, 2020, and the dates indicated:earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the National Emergency or (B) December 31, 2020. This includes short-term (e.g., up to six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. In December 2020, Congress amended the CARES Act through the Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2021, which provided additional COVID-19 relief to American families and businesses, including extending TDR relief under the CARES Act until the earlier of December 31, 2021 or 60 days following the termination of the national emergency.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017, twonon-coveredone-to-four family2022, 0 loans totaling $497,000 and sixhave been modified as TDRs that were in payment default during the twelve months ended at that date. At June 30, 2021, 18 C&I loans totaling $1.4in the aggregate amount of $2 million that had been modified as TDRs during the twelve months ended at that date and 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 doesmay 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 Management takes 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 present value of the estimated losses to be reimbursed by the FDIC. The estimated losses were based on the same cash flow estimates usedconsideration all TDR modifications in determining the fair valueappropriate level of the covered loans. The FDIC loss share receivable was reduced as losses on covered 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 Company and the FDIC completed termination of the LSA.allowance.

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 were 90 days or more past due but considered 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 were 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.

Separately, at June 30, 2022, the Company’sCompany had an allowance for unfunded commitments of $7 million, as compared to $12 million at December 31, 2021.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the allowance for credit losses onnon-covered loans. loan and leases increased primarily as a result of loan portfolio growth combined with reduced prepayment estimates offset by improvements in environmental factors surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically those affecting commercial real estate in the New York City area.

The macroeconomic forecast factors in increasing costs of higher global energy prices and tighter financial market conditions on the U.S. economy. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) is now expected to rise at an annualized rate of 2.8% and 2.7% respectively for 2022 and 2023. Unemployment continues to subside from the historic shock of 2020, as peak unemployment rates are forecasted to be approximately 3.5% in 2022 and 3.4% in 2023. Federal Reserve continues to aggressively tighten monetary policy. As a result, the federal funds rate is now forecast to average 1.1% in 2022 and 2.7% in 2023, compared with 0.5% in 2022 and 1.5% in 2023 in the previous quarter Baseline scenario. The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield is expected to steadily increase over the next few years, reaching its estimated long-run equilibrium of 3.75% by mid-decade.

In addition to these quantitative inputs, several qualitative factors were considered in estimating our allowance for loan and lease credit losses, including changes in credit policies and underwriting guidelines and laws and regulations as well as other attributes related to a concentrated commercial real estate portfolio, specifically those affecting commercial real estate in the New York City area.

The Company charges 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. 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.

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.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $361 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:

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 connectionprospectus filed 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 11.10. 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,as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 and exchange-traded securities, and derivatives.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 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, including 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 values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) for residential mortgage 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 components of this business, and to reduce timing differences in amounts recognized in earnings, 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 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:

The assets accounted for under the fair value option are initially measured at fair value. Gains and losses from the initial measurement and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The following table presents the changes in fair value related to initial measurement, and the subsequent changes in fair value included in earnings, for loans held for sale and MSRs for the periods indicated:

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 rate 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

Other Fair Value Disclosures

GAAP requiresFor the disclosure of fair value information about the Company’son- andoff-balance sheet financial instruments. Wheninstruments, 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 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 methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair values for the Company’s financial instruments follow:

Cash, and Cash Equivalents and Due From Banks

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

30


Securities

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 FHLBFHLB-NY is generally restricted and there is no established liquid market for their resale. The carrying amount approximates the fair value.

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 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.basis. The discount rates reflect current market rates for loans with similar terms to borrowers ofhaving similar credit quality.quality on an exit price basis. 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 For those 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,where 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 ofdiscounted cash flow technique was not considered reliable, 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 onused 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 pricesprice 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.each individual loan.

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 (total deposits excluding CDs) 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016.2021.

Note 11. 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 the aggregate of lease 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 level monthly basis with terms ranging from 24 to 120 months. At the end of the lease term, the lessee usually has the option to return the equipment, to renew the lease or 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 the leased asset at the end of 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 lease.

31


The residual value component of a lease financing receivable represents the estimated fair value of the leased equipment at the end of the lease term. In establishing residual value estimates, the Company may rely on industry data, historical experience, and independent appraisals and, where appropriate, information regarding product life cycle, product upgrades and competing products. Upon expiration of a lease, residual assets are remarketed, resulting in 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of residual assets with third-party residual value insurance for at least a portion of the asset value was $40million and $61 million, respectively.

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

Lessee Arrangements

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Condition.

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 commencement

32


date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate (FHLB borrowing rate) is used in determining the present value of lease payments. The implicit rate is used when readily determinable. The operating lease ROU asset is measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement of the lease liability, prepaid rent and initial direct costs incurred by the Company, less incentives received. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. For the vast majority of the Company’s leases, we are reasonably certain we will exercise our options to renew to the end of all renewal option periods. As such, substantially all of our future options to extend the leases have been included in the lease liability and ROU assets.

Variable costs such as the proportionate share of actual costs for utilities, common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance are not included in the lease liability and are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. Amortization of the ROU assets was $16million and $10 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Included in these amounts was $11 million and $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, branch locations, and certain equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of one year to approximately 25 years, the vast majority of which include one or more options to extend the leases for up to five years resulting in lease terms up to 40 years.

Note 12. Derivative Financial Instrumentsand Hedging Activities

The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swaps. 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, from time to time, the use of derivative financial forwardinstruments. 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 futures contracts,uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

Title VII of the DFA requires all standardized derivatives, including most interest rate swaps, IRLCs,to be submitted for clearing to central counterparties to reduce counterparty risk. Two of the central counterparties are the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (“CME”) and options. These derivatives relate to mortgage banking operations, residential MSRs, and other risk management activities, and seek to mitigate or reducethe London Clearing House (“LCH”). As of June 30, 2022, all of the Company’s $1 billion notional derivative contracts were cleared on the LCH. Daily variation margin payments on derivatives cleared through the LCH are accounted for as legal settlement. For derivatives cleared through LCH, the net gain (loss) position includes the variation margin amounts as settlement of the derivative and not collateral against the fair value of the derivative, which includes accrued interest; therefore, those interest rate and derivative contracts the Company clears through the LCH are reported at a fair value of approximately zero at June 30, 2022.

The Company’s exposure is limited to the value of the derivative contracts in a gain position less any collateral held and plus any collateral posted. When there is a net negative exposure, we consider our 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,counterparty to be zero. At June 30, 2022, 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 onhad 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 Statementspositive exposure.

Fair Value 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.Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company held derivatives with a notional amount of $765.9 million at September 30, 2017. Changesis exposed to changes in the fair value of these derivatives are reflected in current-period earnings. Nonecertain 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 responsefixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark 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 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 residential MSRs. 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 also purchases putentered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $2.0 billion to hedge certain real estate loans. This swap expired in February 2022 and call optionswas not renewed. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the floating rate received related to manage the risknet settlement of this interest rate swap was less than the fixed rate payments. As such, interest income from Loans and leases in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was decreased by $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the floating rate received related to the net settlement of this interest rate swap was less than the fixed rate payments. As such, interest income from Loans and leases in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was decreased by $12 million and $24 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 the following amounts were recorded on the balance sheet related to cumulative basis adjustment for fair value hedges:

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.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company hasCompany’s objectives in place an enforceable master netting arrangement with every counterparty. All master netting arrangements include rightsusing interest rate derivatives are to offset associated withadd stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the Company’s recognized derivative assets, derivative liabilities, and the cash collateral received and pledged. Accordingly,receipt of amounts subject to variability caused by changes in interest rates from a counterparty in exchange for the Company where appropriate, offsets all derivative assetmaking 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 liability positionsthat 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 earnings.

Interest rate swaps with thenotional amounts totaling $1 billion and $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were designated as cash collateral received and pledged.flow hedges of certain FHLB borrowings.

Note 13. Pending Acquisition

Extension of Merger Agreement with Flagstar Bancorp, Inc.

On April 26, 2021, the operations of these business segments.

The Company measures and presents information for internal reporting purposesannounced that it had entered into a definitive merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") under which we would acquire Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. ("Flagstar") in a variety of ways. The internal reporting system presently used by management in the planning and measurement of operating activities, and100% stock transaction initially valued at $2.6 billion (the "Merger"). On April 27, 2022, both sides agreed 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 onagreement (the "Amendment"). Under 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 acrossAmendment, the Company and planning for loss modeling requirements consistentFlagstar have agreed to extend the merger agreement termination date to October 31, 2022. In connection with lifetime expected loss estimates. The adoptionthe extension, both parties amended the merger agreement to provide that the combined company's ongoing banking operations will seek to operate under a national bank charter. Under the Amendment, the only bank regulatory approvals required to consummate the merger are the OCC and the FRB.

New York State Department of ASUNo. 2016-13 could haveFinancial Services Approves Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. Merger

On April 27, 2022, the NYSDFS notified the Company that it had approved its pending merger with Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. Notwithstanding this approval, both parties announced that the combined organization will seek to operate under a material effect onnational bank charter.

Note 14. Legal Proceedings

Following the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition and results of operations. The extentannouncement of the impact upon adoption will likely dependMerger Agreement, the first of four lawsuits was filed on June 23, 2021 in United States Federal District Courts by alleged stockholders of NYCB against NYCB and the characteristicsmembers of its board of directors challenging the accuracy or completeness 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 recordedcontained 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 assetForm S-4 filed 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 complianceJune 25, 2021 by NYCB 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 relatedSEC relating to the classificationproposed Merger. Four additional lawsuits were filed by alleged Flagstar stockholders in state and measurementfederal courts against Flagstar and its board of investmentsdirectors (and, in equity securitiesone instance, NYCB and presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities when615 Corp.) challenging the fair value option is elected. ASU2016-01 also amends certain disclosure requirements associatedproposed Merger or Flagstar’s disclosures relating to the Merger, and those four lawsuits have since been resolved and dismissed. The complaints in the actions against NYCB allege, among other things, that the defendants caused a materially incomplete and misleading Form S-4 relating to the proposed Merger to be filed with the fair valueSEC in violation of financial instruments. The company will adopt ASUNo. 2016-01 on January 1, 2018,Section 14(a) and its adoption is not expected toSection 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14a-9 promulgated thereunder. Two of the lawsuits against NYCB have a material effect onbeen voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice. In the Company’s Consolidated Statementstwo remaining actions, none of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.the NYCB defendants has been served with the complaint, and NYCB believes that these claims are without merit.

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 our revenue streams, (i.e. interest income) and therefore are not in scope. The remaining revenue streams that are in scope are de minimis and will not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

In addition, the timing and occurrence ornon-occurrence of events may be subject to circumstances beyond our control.

Furthermore, on an ongoing basis, we routinely evaluate opportunities to expand through mergers and acquisitions and conductopportunities for strategic combinations with other banking organizations. Our evaluation of such opportunities involves discussions with other parties, due diligence, activities in connection with such opportunities.and negotiations. As a result, acquisition discussions and, in some cases, negotiations,we may take placedecide to enter into definitive arrangements regarding such opportunities at any time,time.

RECONCILIATIONS OF STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY, COMMON STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY,

AND TANGIBLE COMMON STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY;

TOTAL ASSETS AND TANGIBLE ASSETS; AND THE RELATED MEASURES

(unaudited)

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. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”),GAAP, tangible common stockholders’ equity, tangible 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 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 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.

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.

Second Quarter 2022 Overview

At June 30, 2022, total assets were $63.1 billion, up $3.6 billion or 12% annualized compared to December 31, 2021, and up $2.1 billion or 14% annualized compared to March 31, 2022. Both the year-to-date and linked-quarter growth was driven by significant loan and deposit growth, offset partially by a decline in wholesale borrowings.

Total loans held for investment increased $2.8 billion or 12% annualized compared to December 31, 2021 and were up $1.8 billion or 15% annualized on their investmenta linked-quarter basis to $48.5 billion. This was driven by producingcontinued strong growth in the Company's core multi-family loan portfolio and a significant rebound in growth in the specialty finance loan portfolio.

On the liability side, total deposits rose $6.2 billion or 35% annualized compared to December 31, 2021 and increased $3.3 billion during the second quarter, to $41.2 billion, also up 35% annualized on a linked-quarter basis. Once again, the deposit growth was driven by our BaaS business and loan-related deposits.

Given the strong financial performance, maintainingdeposit growth during the second quarter, wholesale borrowings declined to $13.7 billion at June 30, 2022, down $2.3 billion or 28% annualized compared to December 31, 2021, and down $1.0 billion on a solid capital position, and engaging in corporate strategies that enhance the value of their shares. Inlinked-quarter basis, also down 28% annualized,

Net income available to common shareholders of $102.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share.

Resumption of Meaningful Loan Growth

After not growing the balance sheetstockholders for nearly three years, totalnon-covered loans held for investment grew 2.7% over the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $163 million, also up 13% compared to the $144 million the Company reported for three months ended June 30, 2021. Diluted EPS were $0.34 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, up 13% compared to the $0.30 the Company reported for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Included for the three months ended June 30, 2022 are $4 million in merger-related expenses compared to $10 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Also included for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was a revaluation on an annualized basisour deferred taxes related to $37.5 billion. Totalnon-covered mortgage loans held for investment grew at an annualizeda change in the New York State tax rate of 3.5%$2 million compared to $35.5 billion, including 4.3% annualized growthno such item in our multi-family loan portfolio. This was partially offset by a 2.4% (9.5% annualized) sequential decline in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, largely the result of prepayments. Total loans originated for investment increased 24% on a sequential basis, 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 Asset Quality

Another Strong Quarter of Loan Growth

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, total loans and leases held for investment increased to $48.5 billion, up $1.8 billion or 15% annualized on a linked-quarter basis and $2.8 billion or 12% annualized on a year-to-date basis. Loan growth during the Company’s total taxi medallion-related exposuresecond quarter of 2022 was $105.6 million.

Our Net Interest Income Was Pressured by the Rise in Interest Rates

The FRB has raised its target federal funds rate four times sinceCompany's second best on record, second only to the $2.2 billion of loan growth during the fourth quarter of 2016, includinglast year. Our loan growth during the current second quarter is attributable to continued strong growth in Marchthe multi-family portfolio and a significant rebound in specialty finance lending.

At June 30, 2022, the multi-family portfolio totaled $36.8 billion, representing $1.0 billion of 2017. This increasegrowth or 11% annualized on a linked-quarter basis and $2.2 billion of growth or 13% annualized on a year-to-date basis. The growth in short-termthis segment continues to be driven by market share gains as abates, along with heightened refinancing activity as interest rates ledincreased during the quarter, forcing many borrowers to an increase in our cost of funds. As a resultrefinance their properties sooner rather than later.

The other driver of this factor, our net interest income fell $11.4quarter's loan growth was the significant rebound in growth in the specialty finance portfolio, driven primarily by higher utilization rates. At June 30, 2022, the specialty finance segment totaled $4.1 billion, up $806 million or 4% sequentially,97% annualized on a linked-quarter basis and $42.1$638 million or 13% year-over-year,36% annualized on a year-to-date basis. As of June 30, 2022, total commitments were $6.6 billion, up 16% compared to $276.3 million$5.7 billion at March 31, 2022. Of the June 30th amount, 75% or $5 billion are structured as floating-rate obligations, which have, and our net interest margin fell 12 and 38 basis points, respectively,will continue to 2.53%benefit the Company in a rising rate environment.

A Record Level of Loan Originations

Loan originations set a new record during the thirdsecond quarter of this year.

Ongoing Expense Control

Non-interest expense2022. Loan originations for the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $162.2 million in$5.3 billion, up $1.7 billion or 49% compared to the current third quarter, down 1% fromthree months ended March 31, 2022 and $2.2 billion or 72% compared to the trailing-quarter level and up modestly fromthree months June 30, 2021. Second-quarter 2022 originations exceeded the year-earlier quarter. Merger-related expenses were $2.2 million in the year-earlier period; there were no comparable expenses in the third quarterprior quarter's pipeline 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 certain external factors that tend to influence our financial performance and the strategic actions we take:

Interest Rates

Among the external factors that tend to influence our performance, the interest rate environment is key.

The cost$2.5 billion by $2.8 billion, more than double. Approximately 80% 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 increases the target federal funds rate (the rate at which banks borrow funds overnight from one another) as it deems necessary. Since the fourthsecond 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 affect the cost of our deposits and that of the funds we borrow, market interest rates affect the yields on the loans we produce for investment and the securities in which we invest. As further discussed under “Loans Held for Investment” later on in this discussion, the interest rates on our multi-family and CRE loans generally are based on the five-year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate (“CMT”).

The following table summarizes the high, low, and average five- andten-year CMTs in the respective periods:

   Five-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate     Ten-Year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate 
   Sept. 30  June 30,  Sept. 30,     Sept. 30,  June 30,  Sept. 30,

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 qualityoriginations represented new money to the natureBank. In addition, 37% of the loans we produceoriginations were internal refinances from our portfolio; 39% were external refinances; and our conservative underwriting standards, the quality 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.

The following table presents the unemployment rates for the United States and our key deposit markets in the months ended September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2016. While unemployment declined year-over-year in all of these markets, the sequential comparison indicates declines in certain markets and modest increases in two states and New York City.

Another key economic indicator is the Consumer Price Index (the “CPI”), which measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. The following table indicates the change in the CPI for the twelve months ended at each of the indicated dates:

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, theJuly 26, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.17 per share on our common stock,share. The dividend is payable on November 21, 2017August 18, 2022 to common shareholders of record at the closeas of business on November 7, 2017.August 8, 2022.

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.credit losses on loans and leases.

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 Credit Losses

The Company’s January 1, 2020, adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses onNon-Covered Loans Financial Instruments,” resulted in a significant change to our methodology for estimating the allowance since December 31, 2019. ASU No. 2016-13 replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the CECL methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under CECL is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet exposures not accounted for as insurance and net investments in leases accounted for under ASC Topic 842. At December 31, 2019, the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases totaled $148 million. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the CECL methodology under ASU Topic 326 and recognized an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans and leases of $2 million as a “Day 1” transition adjustment from changes in methodology, with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings. Separately, at December 31, 2019, the Company had an allowance for unfunded commitments of $1 million. Upon adoption, the Company recognized an increase in the allowance for unfunded commitments of $13 million as a “Day 1” transition adjustment with a corresponding decrease in retained earnings.

The allowance for credit losses onnon-covered loans represents our estimateand leases is deducted from the amortized cost basis of probablea financial asset or a group of financial assets so that the balance sheet reflects the net amount the Company expects to collect. Amortized cost is the unpaid loan balance, net of deferred fees and estimableexpenses, and includes negative escrow. Subsequent changes (favorable and unfavorable) in expected credit losses inherentare recognized immediately in net income as a credit loss expense or a reversal of credit loss expense. Management estimates thenon-covered loan portfolio as allowance by projecting and multiplying together the probability-of-default, loss-given-default and exposure-at-default depending on economic parameters for each month of the dateremaining contractual term. Economic parameters are developed using available information relating to past events, current conditions, and economic forecasts. The Company’s economic forecast period is 24 months, and afterwards reverts to a historical average loss rate on a straight-line basis over a 12-month period. Historical credit experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses, with qualitative adjustments made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency levels and terms, as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in legislation, regulation, policies, administrative practices or other relevant factors. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the balance sheet. Losses onnon-coveredloans, are charged against, and recoveries of losses onnon-covered loans are credited back to, the allowanceadjusted for losses onnon-covered loans.

Althoughnon-covered loans are held by either the Community Bankforecasted prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes potential extensions 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.

renewals. The methodology used forin the allocationestimation of the allowance fornon-covered loan and lease losses, which is performed at September 30, 2017least quarterly, is designed to be dynamic and December 31, 2016 was generally comparable, wherebyresponsive to changes in portfolio credit quality and forecasted economic conditions. Each quarter the Community BankCompany reassesses the appropriateness of the economic forecasting period, the reversion period and historical mean at the Commercial Bank segregated their loss factors (usedportfolio segment level, considering any required adjustments for both criticizeddifferences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, 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.

relevant data shifts over time.

The allowance for credit losses onnon-covered loans and leases is establishedmeasured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The portfolio segment represents the level at which a systematic methodology is applied to estimate credit losses. Management believes the products within each of the entity’s portfolio segments exhibit similar risk characteristics. Smaller pools of homogenous financing receivables with homogeneous risk characteristics were modeled using the methodology selected for the portfolio segment. The macroeconomic data used in the quantitative models are based on management’s evaluationa reasonable and supportable forecast period of incurred losses24 months. The Company leverages economic projections including property market and prepayment forecasts from established independent third parties to inform its loss drivers in the portfolio in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), andforecast. Beyond this forecast period, the Company reverts to a historical average loss rate. This reversion to the historical average loss rate is comprised of both specific valuation allowances and general valuation allowances.performed on a straight-line basis over 12 months.

Specific valuation allowances

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are established basedevaluated on management’s analyses ofan individual basis. These include loans that are considered impaired.in nonaccrual status with balances above management determined materiality thresholds depending on loan class and also loans that are designated as TDR or “reasonably expected TDR” (criticized, classified, or maturing loans that will have a modification processed within the next three months). In addition, all taxi medallion loans are individually evaluated. If anon-covered loan is deemeddetermined to be impaired, management measurescollateral dependent, or meets the extent ofcriteria to apply the impairment and establishes a specific valuation allowance for that amount. Anon-covered loan is classified as “impaired” when,collateral dependent practical expedient, expected credit losses are determined 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 at the reporting date, less the estimated costcosts 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.as appropriate.

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 determineCompany maintains an allowance for loancredit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures was $7 million and $12 million, respectively. The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit losses expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over their estimated life. The Company examined historical credit conversion factor (“CCF”) trends to estimate utilization rates, and chose an appropriate mean CCF based on both management judgment and quantitative analysis. Quantitative analysis involved examination of CCFs over a quantitative loss factorrange of fund-up windows (between 12 and 36 months) and comparison of the mean CCF for loans evaluated collectively for impairment. This quantitative loss factor is based primarily on historicaleach fund-up window with management judgment determining whether the highest mean CCF across fund-up windows made business sense. The Company applies the same standards and estimated loss rates after considering loan type, historical lossto the credit exposures as to the related class of loans.

When applying this critical accounting policy, we incorporate several inputs 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 lossesjudgments that may not be provided forinfluenced by the quantitative loss component duechanges period to other factors evaluated by management, whichperiod. These include, but are not limited to:

Changes in lending policies and procedures, includingto changes in underwriting standardsthe economic environment and collection,forecasts, changes in the credit profile andcharge-off and recovery practices;

Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability characteristics 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,portfolio, and changes in prepayment assumptions which will result in provisions to or recoveries from the levelbalance 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-backcredit losses.

While changes to the economic environment forecasts, and portfolio characteristics will change from period as we believe this producesto period, portfolio prepayments are an appropriate reflection of our historical loss experience.

The process of establishingintegral assumption in estimating the allowance for credit losses onnon-covered loans also involves:

Periodic inspections of the our mortgage loan collateral by qualifiedin-houseportfolio, are subject to estimation uncertainty 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 lossassumption could have a material adverse impact to our estimation process. Prepayment assumptions are sensitive to interest rates and existing loan terms and determine the weighted average life of the mortgage loan portfolio. Excluding other factors, as the weighted average life of the portfolio increases or decreases, so will the required amount of the allowance for credit losses on our financial condition and results of operations.mortgage loans.

As of September43


Balance Sheet Summary

At June 30, 2017, we had goodwill of $2.4 billion. Our goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually at December 31st,2022, total assets were $63.1 billion, up $3.6 billion 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 of12% annualized compared to December 31, 20162021 and basedup $2.1 billion or 14% annualized compared to March 31, 2022. Both the year-over-date and linked-quarter growth were driven by significant loan and deposit growth, an increase in cash balances, offset by a decline in wholesale borrowings, while total securities remained relatively unchanged.

Total loans and leases held for investment increased $2.8 billion or 12% annualized compared to December 31, 2021 and $1.8 billion or 15% annualized 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 guidancea linked-quarter basis. This was due to continued strong growth 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 asmulti-family portfolio combined with 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 assetssignificant rebound 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.

Included inNew York City, where thequarter-end balance werenon-covered majority of the rental units currently consist of non-luxury, rent-regulated apartments featuring below-market rents. In addition to multi-family loans, our portfolio of loans held for investment net,contains a number of $37.3 billion,CRE loans, most of which are secured by income-producing properties located in New York City andnon-covered loans held for sale of $104.9 million, as more fully discussed below. Long Island.

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-investmentour specialty finance loans and leases have become an increasingly larger portion of our overall loan portfolio. The remainder of our portfolio includes substantially smaller balances of C&I loans, one-to-four family loans, ADC loans, and other loans with specialty financeheld for investment. The majority of C&I loans consist of loans to small- and mid-size businesses.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, total loans and leases originated for investment were $5.3 billion, up $2.2 billion or 72% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and other C&I loans comprisingexceeded the bulk ofprevious quarter's pipeline by $2.8 billion or 107%.

Loans and Leases Held for Investment

The individualheld-for-investment loan portfolios are discussed in detail below.

Multi-Family Loans

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

The average multi-family loan had a principal balance of $5.6 million at the end of the current third quarter, which was modestly higher than the balances at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The majority of our multi-family loans are made to long-term owners of residential apartment buildings with unitsapartments that are subject to rent regulation and feature below-market rents. Our borrowers typically use the funds we provide for future real estate investments, or to make building-wide improvements and renovations to certain units, 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.

In addition to underwritingAt June 30, 2022, total multi-family loans on the basisrepresented $37 billion or 76% of the buildings’ incometotal loans 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.leases held for investment.

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 tied to the prime rate of interest, 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”), 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- 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,At 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 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 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 are recorded as interest income, they are reflected in the average yields on our loans and interest-earning assets, our 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 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, the majority2022, 72% of our multi-family loans were secured by rent-regulated rental apartment buildings. In addition, 64.7% of our multi-family loans were secured by buildings in the New York City metro area and 5.5%3% were secured by buildings elsewhere in New York State. The remaining multi-family loans were secured by buildings outside these markets, including in the four other states servedin which we operate.

In addition, 61% or $22.5 billion of the Company's overall multi-family portfolio is secured by our retail branch offices.properties in New York State, of which $19.7 billion are subject to rent regulation laws. The weighted average LTV of the rent-regulated segment of the multi-family portfolio was 56.66%, as of June 30, 2022, 372 bps below the overall multi-family weighted average LTV of 60.38%.

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 lending has been the comparative quality of the loans we originate.produce. Reflecting the nature of the buildings securing our loans, our underwriting standards, and the generally conservative LTV ratios our multi-family loans feature at origination, a relatively small percentage of the multi-family loans that have transitioned to non-performing status have actually resulted in losses, even when the credit cycle has 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%125% 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% 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, some of 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,

Commercial Real Estate Loans

At June 30, 2022, CRE loans represented $7 billion or 14% of total loans and leases held for investment, unchanged compared to the previous quarter.

The CRE loans originated by the Company are also secured by income-producing properties, such as office buildings, mixed-use buildings (retail storefront on the ground floor and apartment units above the ground floor), retail centers, and multi-tenanted light industrial properties. At June 30, 2022, 83% of our CRE loans were secured by properties in the New York City metro area, while properties in other parts of New York State accounted for 3% of the properties securing our CRE loans and properties in all other states accounted for 15% combined.

Specialty Finance Loans and Leases

At June 30, 2022, specialty finance loans and leases totaled $4.1 billion or 9% of total loans and leases held for investment.

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. Asset-based and dealer floor-plan loans are priced at floating rates predominately tied to SOFR or LIBOR-replacement rates, while our equipment financing credits are priced 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.

C&I Loans

At June 30, 2022, C&I loans totaled $549 million or 1% of total loans and leases held for investment.

The C&I loans we produce are primarily made to small and mid-size businesses in the five boroughs of New York City and on Long Island. 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 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 C&I loans, several factors are considered, including the purpose, the collateral, and the anticipated sources of repayment. 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.

The interest rates on our other C&I loans can be fixed or floating, with floating-rate loans being tied to prime or some other market index, plus an applicable spread. Our floating-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.

Acquisition, Development, and Construction Loans

ADC loans at June 30, 2022 totaled $195 million and represented 0.40% of total loans and leases held for investment. Because ADC loans are generally considered to have a higher degree of credit risk, especially during a downturn in the business cycle, borrowers are required to provide a guarantee of repayment and completion.

One-to-Four Family Loans

At June 30, 2022, one-to-four family loans totaled $129 million or 0.27% of total loans and leases held for investment. These loan balances include certain mixed-use CRE with less than five residential units classified as one-to-four family loans.

46


Other Loans

Other loans totaled $6 million at June 30, 2022 and consisted mainly of overdraft loans and loans to non-profit organizations. We currently do not offer home equity loans or home equity lines of credit.

Lending Authority

The loans we originate for investment are subject to federal and state laws and regulations, and are underwritten in accordance with loan underwriting policies approved by the Management Credit Committee, the Board Credit Committee, and the Board of Directors of the Bank.

C&I loans less than or equal to $3 million are approved by the joint authority of lending officers. C&I loans in excess of $3 million and all multi-family, CRE, ADC, and Specialty Finance loans regardless of amount are required to be presented to the Management Credit Committee for approval. Multi-family, CRE, and C&I loans in excess of $5 million and Specialty Finance in excess of $15 million are also required to be presented to the Commercial Credit Committee and the Mortgage and Real Estate Committee of the Board, as applicable so that the Committees can review the loan’s associated risks. The Commercial Credit and Mortgage and Real Estate Committees have 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 Bank’s strategic objectives and risk appetites.

The Board of Directors updated certain aspects of the Company's lending authority as detailed below. These changes were effective as of July 21, 2021.

Multi-family, CRE, ADC, and specialty finance loans less than or equal to $10 million and C&I loans less than or equal to $5 million are approved by the joint authority of lending officers. C&I loans in excess of $5 million and all multi-family, CRE, ADC, and specialty finance loans in excess of $10 million are required to be presented to the Management Credit Committee for approval. Multi-family, CRE, ADC, and specialty finance loans in excess of $50 million and C&I loans in excess of $10 million are also required to be presented to the Board Credit Committee of the Board, so that the Committee can review the loan’s associated risks and approve the credit. The Board Credit Committee has 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 Bank’s strategic objectives and risk appetites.

In addition, all loans of $50 million or more originated by the Bank continue to be reported to the Board of Directors.

At June 30, 2022, the largest mortgage loan in our portfolio was a $329 million multi-family loan collateralized by six properties located in Brooklyn, New York. As of the date of this report, the loan has been current since origination.

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of our non-performing loans were non-accrual loans.

We monitor non-accrual loans both within and beyond our primary lending area, which is defined as including: (a) the counties that comprise our CRA Assessment area, and (b) the entirety of the following states: Arizona; Florida; New York; New Jersey; Ohio; and Pennsylvania, in the same manner. Monitoring loans generally involves inspecting and re-appraising the collateral properties; holding discussions with the principals and managing agents of the borrowing entities and/or retained 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 and advancing funds as needed; and appointing a receiver, whenever possible, to collect rents, manage the operations, provide information, and maintain the collateral properties.

It is our policy to order updated appraisals for all non-performing loans, 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 generally 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 LTVs on a portfolio-wide basis.

49


Non-performing loans are reviewed regularly by management and discussed on a monthly basis with the Management Credit Committee, the Board Credit Committee, and the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank, as applicable. Collateral-dependent non-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 assets that are acquired through foreclosure are classified as either OREO or repossessed assets, and are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition, less the estimated cost of selling the property/asset. Subsequent declines in the fair value of OREO or repossessed assets are charged to earnings and are included in non-interest expense. It is our policy to require an appraisal and an environmental assessment (in accordance with our Environmental Risk Policy) of properties classified as OREO before foreclosure, and to re-appraise the properties/assets on an as-needed basis, and not less than annually, until they are sold. We dispose of such properties/assets as quickly and prudently as possible, given current market conditions and the property’s or asset’s condition.

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 closing, with a member of the Board Credit Committee participating in inspections on multi-family, CRE, and ADC loans to be originated in excess of $50 million. We continue to conduct inspections as per the aforementioned policy, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, currently full access to some properties and buildings may be limited. Furthermore, independent appraisers, whose appraisals are carefully reviewed by our experienced in-house appraisal officers and staff, perform appraisals on collateral properties. In many cases, a second independent appraisal review is performed.

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.

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 new rent regulation 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 our non-performing multi-family loans have resulted in losses over time. 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.

Commercial Real Estate Loans

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 125% for multi-family loans and 130% for CRE loans represented $7.6 billion, or 20.1%, of total loans held for investment at the endloans. Although we typically lend up to 75% of the current third quarter, a $9.8 million increase fromappraised value on multi-family buildings and up to 65% on commercial properties, the balanceaverage LTVs of such credits at origination were below those amounts at June 30, 2017, but2022. Exceptions to these LTV limitations are minimal and are reviewed on a $174.0 million decrease from the balance at December 31, 2016. CRE loans represented $249.8 million, or 10.8%, of loans originated for investment in the current third quarter, reflecting a linked-quarter increase of $57.7 million and a year-over-year decrease of $95.8 million.case-by-case basis.

At September 30, 2017, the average CRE loan had a principal balance of $5.7 million, unchanged from the average principal balance at June 30, 2017, and up modestly from December 31, 2016.50


The CRE loans we produce are secured by income-producing properties such as office buildings, retail centers,mixed-use buildings, and multi-tenanted light industrial properties. At September 30, 2017, 70.0% of our CRE loans were secured by properties in New York City, while properties on Long Island accounted for 11.6%. Other parts of New York State accounted for 2.6% of the properties securing our CRE credits, while all other states accounted for 15.8%, combined.

The terms of our CRE loans are similar to the terms of our multi-family credits, and the same prepayment penalties also apply. Furthermore, our CRE loans also tend to refinance in approximately three years of origination; the weighted average life of the CRE portfolio was 2.9 years, 3.0 years, and 3.4 years at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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% and a maximum LTV of 65%. Furthermore,In addition, the origination of CRE loans typically requires a security interest in the fixtures, equipment, and other personal property of the borrower and/or an assignment of the rents and/or leases. In addition, our CRE loans may contain an interest-only period which typically does not exceed three years. However,years; however, these loans are underwritten on a fully amortizing basis.

One-to-Four Family Loans

Reflecting our announcement that the Company was exiting the mortgage banking business, the September 30, 2017 balance ofone-to-four family loans held for investment was relatively unchanged sequentially at $413.2 million, representing 1.1% 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-year increase of $3.9 million.

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. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recovered losses against guarantees of $321,000 and $314,000, respectively.

Other Loans

Other loans of $2.0 billion were relatively unchanged from the trailing three-month period, representing 5.3% of total loans at September 30th due to an increase in specialty finance loans and leases to $1.4 billion and a $20.8 million decline in other C&I loans to $545.5 million. Included in the latter amount were taxi medallion-related loans of $99.1 million, representing 0.3% of total loans held for investment. The remainder of the “other loan” portfolio included a nominal amount of consumer loans.

Originations of other loans totaled $585.0 million in the current third quarter, reflecting a $65.5 million decrease from the trailing-quarter volume and a $63.5 million increase from the year-earlier amount. 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 syndicated loans that are brought to us, and equipment loans and leases that are assigned to us, by a select group 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.

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 other 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. Such loans are tailored to meet the specific needs of our borrowers and include term loans, revolving lines of credit, and, to a 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.

The interest rates on our other C&I loans can be fixed or floating, with floating rate loans being tied to prime or some other market index, plus an applicable spread. Our floating 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

The loans we originate for investment are subject to federal and state laws and regulations, and are underwritten in accordance with loan underwriting policies and procedures approved by the Mortgage and Real Estate Committee of the Community Bank (the “Mortgage Committee”), the Credit Committee of the Commercial Bank (the “Credit Committee”), and the respective Boards of Directors of the Banks.

Prior to 2017, all loans originated by the Banks were presented to the Mortgage Committee or the Credit Committee, as applicable. 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 have 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’ 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the largest loan in our portfolio was a loan originated by the Community Bank on June 28, 2013 to the owner of a commercial office building located in Manhattan. 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 that it remains within the 850% limit we have agreed to with our regulators. At September 30, 2017, the consolidated Banks’ CRE concentration ratio was 739.9%.

At September 30, 2017, the largest concentration ofone-to-four family 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.

Asset Quality

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.

(1)Includes $43.4 million and $15.2 million ofnon-accrualnon-covered taxi medallion-related loans at September 30, 2017 and at December 31, 2016, respectively.

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 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, 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 retained 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 and advancing funds as needed; and appointing a receiver, whenever possible, to collect rents, manage the operations, provide information, and maintain the collateral properties.

It is our policy to order updated appraisals for allnon-performing loans, 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.

Non-performing loans are reviewed regularly by management and discussed on a monthly basis with the Mortgage Committee, the Credit Committee, and the Boards of Directors of the respective Banks, 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 that are acquired through foreclosure are classified as OREO, 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 OREO 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.

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. 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% for multi-family loans and 130% for CRE loans. Although we typically lend up to 75% of the appraised value on multi-family buildings and up to 65% on commercial properties, the average LTVs of such credits at origination were below those amounts at September 30, 2017. 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% 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%. With respect to commercial construction loans, we typically lend up to 65% 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 are typically underwritten on the basis of the cash flows produced by the borrower’s business, and 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 to 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 also 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. Furthermore, while 0.5% of ourone-to-four family loans werenon-performing at the end of the current third quarter, 1.6% of our ADC loans and 2.2% of our other loans werenon-performing at that date.

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, 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 adversely impact a borrower’s ability to repay. Largely reflecting the nature of our primary lending niche and our conservative underwriting standards, we recorded aggregate net recoveries on our core multi-family and CRE portfolios in the third quarter of 2017.

Reflecting management’s assessment of the allowance fornon-covered loan losses, we recorded a $44.6 million provision for such losses in the current third quarter, as compared to $11.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, in 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.

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

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017, our2022, the Company's three largestnon-performing NPLs were two CRE loans were a C&I loan with a balancebalances of $7.8$19 million aand $8 million and one multi-family loan with a balance of $7.6 million, and an ADC loan with a balance of $6.2$7 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, non-accrual TDRs included taxi medallion-related loans with a combined balance of $43.4$4 million.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, 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.$45 million.

Based on the number of loans performing in accordance with their revised terms, our success rates for restructured CRE and multi-family loans, CRE loans,was 100%. The success rates for restructured one-to-four family loans, and other loans were 100%, 100%, 50%, and 84%32%, respectively, at SeptemberJune 30, 2017. There were no restructured ADC loans at that date.2022.

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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, 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.

Asset Quality Analysis (Excluding Covered Loans, Covered Repossessed Assets, andNon-Covered PCI Loans)

The following table presents information regarding our consolidated allowance for losses onnon-covered loans, ournon-performingnon-covered assets, and ournon-covered loans 30 to 89 days past due at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Covered loans andnon-covered purchased credit-impaired (“PCI”) loans were considered to be performing due to the application of the yield accretion method, as discussed elsewhere in this report. Therefore, covered loans andnon-covered PCI loans are not reflected in the amounts or ratios provided in this table.

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.outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2022:

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 $1.9 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.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangibles

We record goodwill and core deposit intangibles (“CDI”) in our Consolidated Statements of Condition 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 value of the core deposits acquired in a business combination, and is typically amortized over a period of ten years from the acquisition date.

While goodwillGoodwill totaled $2.4 billion at both SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 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.2021.

For more information about the Company’s goodwill, see the discussion of “Critical Accounting Policies” earlier in this report.

Sources of Funds

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

On a consolidated basis, our funding primarily stems from a combination of the following sources: 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$6.0 billion in the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, down2022, up $1.6 billion from the $9.1$4.4 billion recorded in the year-earlier ninesix months.

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 SeptemberAt June 30, 2017,2022, total deposits were $41.2 billion, up $3.3 billion compared to total deposits at March 31, 2022, and up $6.2 billion since December 31, 2021.

Risk Definitions

The following section outlines the definitions of interest rate risk, market risk, and liquidity risk, and how 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 timing of rate changes and the timing of cash flows(re-pricing (re-pricing risk); from changing rate relationships among different yield curves affecting Company activities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships across the spectrum 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 consider the impact of complex, illiquid hedging strategies or products, and also the potential impact on fee income (e.g. prepayment income) which is sensitive to changes in interest rates. In those situations where trading is separately managed, this refers to structural positions and not trading portfolios.

Market Risk –Market risk is the risk to earnings 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 focuses on the changes in market factors (e.g., interest rates, market 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 inability to meet its obligations when they become due, without incurring unacceptable losses. Liquidity risk includes the inability 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 to reduce our exposure to changes in market interest rates. The asset and liability management process has three primary objectives: to evaluate the interest rate risk inherent in certain balance sheet accounts; to determine the appropriate level of risk, given our business strategy, risk appetite, operating environment, capital and liquidity requirements, and performance objectives; and to manage that risk in a manner consistent with guidelines approved by the Boards of Directors of the Company the Community Bank, and the Commercial Bank.

Market and Interest Rate Risk

As a financial institution, we are focused on reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility. Changes in interest rates pose one of the greatest challengechallenges 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 Boards 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 be impacted by a variety of factors, including the economy in the region where the underlying mortgages were originated; seasonal factors; demographic variables; and the assumability of the underlying mortgages. However, the largest determinants of prepayments are interest rates and the availability of refinancing opportunities.

In the first nine months of 2017, we managedWe manage our interest rate risk by taking the following actions: (1) We continuedcontinue to emphasize the origination and retention of intermediate-term assets, primarily in the form of multi-family and CRE loans; and (2) We continued the origination ofcontinue to originate certain floating rate C&I loans that feature floating interest rates.

In connectionloans; depending on funding needs, replace maturing wholesale borrowings with the activities of our mortgage banking operation, we enter into contingent commitments to fund or purchase residential mortgage loans by a specified future date at a statedlonger term borrowings; and as needed, execute interest rate and corresponding price. Such commitments, which were generally known as interest rate lock commitmentsswaps.

LIBOR Transition Process

The discontinuation of LIBOR has been developing since 2017 when the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (“IRLCs”FCA”), were considered first called for LIBOR to be financial derivatives and, as such, were carried at fair value.

To mitigatephased out by 2021. The ICE Benchmark Administration, 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 termspublisher of LIBOR discontinued publication of the applicable forward-sale agreement.one-week and two-month US Dollar LIBOR on December 31, 2021, and will discontinue publication of overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month, and twelve-month U.S Dollar LIBORs on June 30, 2023, although its use for new business was restricted after December 31, 2021, with limited exceptions.

When we retained56


In October 2020, the servicing on the loans we sold, we capitalized an MSR asset. Residential MSRs are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded as a component ofnon-interest income. We estimate the fair value of the MSR asset based upon a number of factors, including currentInternational Swaps and expected loan prepayment rates, economic conditions, and market forecasts,Derivatives Association announced fallback language for derivative contracts incorporating SOFR, as well as relevant characteristicsa process by which counterparties to such contracts could elect to apply the fallback language to existing derivatives on or after January 25, 2021. SOFR was identified by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), a group of private-market participants convened to help ensure a successful transition from LIBOR in the United States, as the recommended replacement to US Dollar LIBOR in the United States. The adoption of the associated underlying loans. Generally, when market interest rates decline, loan prepayments increase as customers refinance their existing mortgagesfallback protocols does not change the index for subject agreements from LIBOR to take advantage of more favorable interest rate terms. When a mortgage prepays, or when loans are expectedSOFR, but simply creates the legal framework for the appropriate mechanisms 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 reductionoccur in the fair valuefuture.

The Bank established a sub-committee of ALCO to address issues related to the capitalized MSRsphase out and a corresponding reduction in earnings.

To mitigatetransition away from LIBOR. The sub-committee is led by our Chief Financial Officer and consists of personnel from various departments throughout the prepayment risk inherent in residential MSRs, we could have sold the servicing of theBank. The Company has identified certain LIBOR-based contracts that extend beyond June 30, 2023, which may include loans we produced, and thus minimized the potential for earnings volatility. Instead, we opted to mitigate such risk by investing in exchange-tradedleases, securities, wholesale borrowings, derivative financial instruments, that were expected to experience opposite and partially offsetting changes in fair value as relatedlong-term debt. The sub-committee has reviewed the associated contracts and legal agreements for conformance to the valueARRC aligned fallback language and noted that certain contracts will require some form of our residential MSRs.

standardization in accordance with LIBOR transition recommended fallback provisions.

The FRB, the FDIC, and the OCC issued supervisory guidance encouraging banks to cease entering into new contracts that use USD LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021. In accordance with guidance, as of after December 31, 2021 the Bank does not offer LIBOR indexed products.

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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, ourone-year gap was a negative 17.52%26.14%, as compared to a negative 21.37%7.43% at December 31, 2016.2021. The385-basis point change was largely due toin our one-year gap from December 31, 2021, primarily reflects an increase in cashborrowings that will mature or are projected to get put back to the Company and an increase in new deposit balances as a result of the sale 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.are indexed to short term rates.

The table on the following page sets forth the amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 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”)CPR of 15%6.99% per annum; for multi-family and CRE loans, prepayment rates are forecasted at weighted average CPRs of 15%8.69% and 13%7.25% per annum, respectively. Borrowed funds were not assumed to prepay.

Savings, interest-bearinginterest bearing checking and money market accounts were assumed to decay based on a comprehensive statistical analysis that incorporated our historical deposit experience. Based on the results of this analysis, savings accounts were assumed to decay at a rate of 57%67% for the first five years and 43%33% for years six through ten. Interest-bearing checking accounts were assumed to decay at a rate of 70%85% for the first five years and 30%15% for years six through ten. The decay assumptions reflect the prolonged low

57


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%79% for the first five years and 29%21% 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, there can be no assurance that the assumed prepayment and decay rates will approximate actual future loan and securities prepayments and deposit withdrawal activity.

To validate our prepayment assumptions for our multi-family and CRE loan portfolios, we perform a monthlyquarterly analysis, during which we review our historical prepayment rates and compare them to our projected prepayment rates. We continually review the actual prepayment rates to ensure that our projections are as accurate as possible, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the impact of a100-basis point 100 bp 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%2.90% 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 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

58


table. Also, the ability of some borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate loans may be adversely impacted by an increase in market interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity is also monitored through the use of a model that generates estimates of the change in our net portfolio valueEconomic Value of Equity (“NPV”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 prepayment rates, reinvestment rates, and deposit decay rates similar to those utilized in formulating the preceding Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis.

Based on the information and assumptions in effect at SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, the following table reflects the estimated percentage change in our NPV,EVE, assuming the changes in interest rates noted:

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

As with the Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the preceding interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes in NPVEVE 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 NPVEVE Analysis presented above 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 accountconsider the benefit of any strategic actions we may take to further reduce our exposure to interest rate risk. Accordingly, while the NPVEVE 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, 2017,2022, 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:

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

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 LiabilityALCO 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.

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.

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 techniques to more immediately reduce 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, 2017,2022, our analysis indicated that an immediate inversion of the yield curve would be expected to result in a 1.83%(4.32)% decrease in net interest income; conversely, an immediate steepening of the yield curve would be expected to result in a 3.85%13.38% increase in net interest income. It should be noted that the yield curve changes in these scenarios were updated, given the changing market rate environment, which resulted in an increase in the income sensitivity in the steepening scenario.

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 $3.3 billion and $557.9 million,$2.2 billion, respectively, at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and December 31, 2016.2021. As in the past, our portfolios of loansloan and securities portfolios provided meaningful liquidity in the first nine months of the year,2022, with cash flows from the repayment and sale of loans totaling $9.3$6.0 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 alsoIn addition, we have access to the Banks’Bank’s 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 available under a blanket lien we have pledged to the respective institutions and, to a lesser extent, the available amount of available securities that may be pledged to collateralize our borrowings. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, our available borrowing capacity with theFHLB-NY was $7.5$12.2 billion. In addition, the BanksBank had $3.0available-for-sale securities of $5.7 billion, ofavailable-for-sale securities, combined, at that date. which, $4.6 billion is unpledged.

The Parent Company is a separate legal entity from each of the BanksBank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to operating expenses and any share repurchases, the Parent Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to our shareholders.stockholders. 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 declared as of the date of this report.

The Parent Company’s ability to pay dividends may also depend, in part, upon dividends it receives from the Banks.Bank. The ability of the Community Bank and the Commercial Bank to pay dividends 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 2022, the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the BanksBank paid dividends totaling $276.0$190 million to the Parent Company, leaving $302.4$573 million theythat it could dividend to the Parent Company without regulatory approval at that date.year-end. Additional sources of liquidity available to the Parent Company at SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 included $135.8$133 million in cash and cash equivalents. If either of the Banks wereBank was 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

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

In the normal course of business, we enter into a variety of contractual obligations in order to 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 our customers, and borrow funds under contract from the FHLB-NY and various brokerage firms. These contractual obligations are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Condition under “Deposits” and “Borrowed funds,” respectively. At June 30, 2022, we had CDs of $8.1 billion and long-term debt (defined as borrowed funds with an original maturity one year or more) of $12.6 billion.

At June 30, 2022, we also had commitments to extend credit in the form of mortgage and other loan originations, as well as commercial, performance stand-by, and financial stand-by letters of credit, totaling $4.9 billion. These off-balance sheet 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 letters of credit we issue consist of performance stand-by, financial stand-by, and commercial letters of credit. Financial Instruments

We use variousstand-by letters of credit primarily are issued for the benefit of other financial instruments, including derivatives,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.

Based upon our strategiescurrent liquidity position, we expect that our funding will be sufficient to mitigatefulfill these cash obligations and commitments when they are due both in the short term and long term.

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or reduce our exposurecash flows.

At June 30, 2022, we had no commitments 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,purchase securities.

Capital Position

On March 17, 2017, we held derivative financial instruments with a notional valueissued 515,000 shares of $765.9 million. (See Note 12, “Derivative Financial Instruments,” for a further discussionpreferred stock. The offering generated capital of our use of such financial instruments.)

Capital Position

In March 2017, the Company raised $502.8$503 million, net of underwriting and other issuance expenses,costs, for general corporate purposes, with the bulk of the proceeds being distributed to the Bank.

On October 24, 2018, the Company announced that it had received regulatory approval to repurchase its common stock. Accordingly, the Board of Directors approved a $300 million common share repurchase program. The repurchase program was funded through an offeringthe issuance of depositary shares, each representing a 1/40 interest in a sharelike amount 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,subordinated notes. As of total assets at September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, and was equivalent to2022, the Company has repurchased a book value per common sharetotal of $12.79, $12.74, and $12.5729.7 million shares at an average price of $9.61 or an aggregate purchase price of $285 million, leaving $10 million remaining under the respective dates. We calculate book value per common share by dividing the amount of common stockholders’ equity at the end of a period by the number of common shares outstanding at the same date. At September 30, 2017, June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding common shares of 489,061,848, 489,023,298, and 487,056,676, respectively.current authorization.

Tangible common stockholders’ equity was relatively stable at $3.8 billion, representing 8.30% of tangible assets and a tangible book value per common share of $7.81 at September 30, 2017. At the end of the second quarter, tangible common stockholders’ equity also totaled $3.8 billion or 8.27% 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 recorded at the end of a period from the amount 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.)

Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to regulation, examination, and supervision by the NYSDFS and the FDIC (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 Regulators’ qualitative judgments about the components of capital and risk 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, our capital measures continued to exceed the minimum federal requirements for a bank holding company.company and 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:

Earnings Summary for the Three Months Ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income totaled $171 million, up 13% compared to the $152 million the Company reported for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Net income available to common shareholders (“net income”)stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $102.3$163 million, inup 13% compared to the current third quarter, equivalent$144 million the Company reported for the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a per share basis, diluted EPS were $0.34 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, up 13% compared to $0.21 per diluted common share. In the trailing and year-earlier quarters,$0.30 the Company reported for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Both 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 primarilyavailable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2022 include merger-related expenses of $3 million, net of income tax, while the three months ended June 30, 2021 includes merger-related expenses of $10 million, net of income tax and a $2 million revaluation of the Company's deferred taxes due to a decreasechange in net interest income, as further discussed below.the New York State tax rate.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is our primary source of income. Its level is a function 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, as well as securities. 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 interest rate spread and net interest margin.

It should be noted that the level of prepayment income on loans recorded in any given period depends on the 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. 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 Company recorded netYear-Over-Year Comparison

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 totaled $359 million, up $28 million or 8% on a year-over-year basis. This was driven by a $42 million or 10% increase in interest income offset by a $14 million or 14% increase in interest expense.

Linked-Quarter Comparison

The sequential declinechange in net interest income was attributableare as follows:

Interest income on loans and leases rose $38 million or 10% to $424 million on a variety of factors, including an increase in our cost of funds, as short-term interest rates rose in the quarter. Additionally, the sale of our covered loan portfolio, which closed at the end of Julyyear-over-year basis and resulted in excess liquidity being invested at lower yields, negatively impacted net interest income. This was partially offset by modest loan growth along with stable loan yields. Details of the linked-quarter decline in net interest income follow:

Interest income of $393.7 million in the current third quarter declined $5.4 million from the amount reported in the trailing quarter. Interest income from loans declined $10.3 million to $351.0 million, while interest income from securities andon interest-earning cash and cash equivalents rose $4.9$7 million to $42.7$9 million, while interest income on securities declined $3 million to $40 million.

As a result, the average balance of interest-earning 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 million increase in interest expense on total interest-bearing deposits combined with a $1.1 million decrease 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 in 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$4.8 billion and the average cost of funds rose sevenincreased 31 basis points to 1.21%.0.55% on a year-over-year basis.

Year-Over-Year Comparison

The following factors contributed

Interest expense on borrowed funds declined $4 million or 6% to the year-over-year reduction in net interest income:

Interest income fell $22.4$68 million, year-over-year aswhile average borrowings declined $715 million or 5% to $15.0 billion.
Average non-interest-bearing deposit balances declined $920 million or 17% to $4.6 billion.

Net Interest Margin

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the NIM was 2.52%, up two basis points on a $5.5 million decline in the interestyear-over-year basis and up nine basis points on a linked-quarter basis.

Prepayment 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 million 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 rise in interest expense stemming from deposits was due to a28-basis point rise in the average cost of such funds due to higher short-term interest rates, offset by an $18.0 million decrease in the average balance. The increase in the interest income from borrowed funds was driven by a21-basis point rise in the average cost of such funding 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 24current quarter's NIM, up two basis points year-over-year.
compared to the second quarter of last year and up six basis points compared to the first quarter of this year. Excluding the impact from prepayment income, the NIM on a non-GAAP basis was 2.38%, up three basis points compared to the second quarter of this year.

Net Interest Margin

The directionfollowing table summarizes the contribution of loan and securities prepayment income on 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 communicationsNIM for the following reasons:respective periods:

 

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, 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.

64


The following table sets forth certain information regarding our average balance sheet for the quarters indicated,three-month periods, 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 quarters 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.

(Recovery of) Provision for Credit Losses on Non-Covered Loans

The provision for losses onnon-covered loans is based on the methodology used by management in calculating the allowance for losses 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 in the current third quarter, as compared to $11.6 million and $1.2 million inFor the three months ended June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. The elevated loan loss2022, the Company reported a provision for credit losses of $9 million compared to a recovery of credit losses of $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The current third quarter was due to our taxi medallion-related loans. Inquarter's provision largely reflects the third quarter of 2017,strong loan growth the Company recorded net charge-offs of $40.4 million, of which $40.6 million was related to taxi medallion-related loans, compared toexperienced during the year-earlier quarter during which the Company recorded net recoveries of $412,000, of which $49,000 was related to taxi medallion-related loans.quarter.

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.products.

Non-interestFor the three months ended June 30, 2022, non-interest income totaled $108.9$18 million, in theup 13% on a year-over-year basis. The current thirdsecond quarter up $58.5 million from the trailing-quarter level and $68.3 million from the year-earlier amount. The linked-quarter improvement was primarily driven by an $82.0includes a $1.7 million gain on the sale of covered loans and mortgage banking operations. This was partially offset by a $6.7 million declinethe Company's former headquarters building in mortgage banking income. The year-over-year increase reflects contributions from the same factors which impacted the linked-quarter results.Westbury, N.Y.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense has two primary components: operatingFor the three months ended June 30, 2022, non-interest expenses which consisttotaled $138 million, down $1 million or 1% compared to the second quarter 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 $162.2last year. The current second quarter amount includes $4 million in merger-related expenses compared to $10 million in the current thirdyear-ago quarter. The second 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, asefficiency ratio was 35.57% compared to $163.7 million and $158.9 million, respectively, in37.11% for 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.second quarter of last year.

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

IncomeFor the three months ended June 30, 2022, income tax expense totaled $68.0$59 million, indown $1 million or 2% compared to 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, thethree months ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rate increasedfor the current second quarter was 25.60% compared to 38.10%28.38% for the second quarter of last year. The year-ago second quarter income tax expense includes $2 million due to the revaluation of deferred taxes related to a change in the current third quarter from 36.22% in the trailing three-month period.New York State tax rate.

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%.

(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 in isolation or as a substitute for net interest margin, 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-monthsix-month 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 nine-month periodsquarters 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.
