FLAGSTAR REPORTS 2006 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

TROY, Mich. (July 20, 2006) — Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC), today reported 2006 second quarter net earnings of $28.6 million, or $0.44 per share — diluted. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 net earnings totaled $47.6 million, or $0.74 — diluted.

For the 2005 second quarter, net earnings were $27.8 million, or $0.43 per share — diluted. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, net earnings were $47.6 million, or $0.74 per share — diluted.

“We performed as we expected in a challenging environment,” said Mark Hammond, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Competitive price pressures on deposits and loans, as well as the flat yield curve, continued to strain net interest margins and loan sale margins. Nevertheless, we are actively engaged in managing the short-term challenges, while also continuing to implement our long-term strategic initiatives.

“In particular,” noted Mr. Hammond, “ we are continuing to expand our bank branch network and build our core deposit accounts. We have also been introducing new products to improve our loan origination volume and provide opportunities for non-agency securitization, while maintaining high credit standards in our held for investment portfolio. Additionally, we have been diligent in reducing overhead and making investments in systems to improve processes and workflow. Lastly, as long-term yields have risen, we have resumed our historic practice of strategically selling mortgage servicing rights as opportunities arise.”

Highlights for the 2006 second quarter include the following:

• A return on average equity of 14.5%

• Opening of the 145^th banking center

• Loan production of $5.3 billion, including residential mortgages of $4.9 billion

• Loans serviced for others of $22.4 billion

• Sale of mortgage servicing rights related to $9.9 billion in underlying loans

Balance Sheet and Capital Adequacy

Consolidated assets were $15.2 billion at June 30, 2006 as compared to $15.1 billion at December 31, 2005 and $14.9 billion at June 30, 2005. With a core capital ratio of 6.4% and a risk-based capital ratio of 11.2%, at June 30, 2006, Flagstar Bank, our wholly-owned subsidiary, was considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2006 was 1.49%, as compared to 1.72% for the first quarter of 2006 and 1.79% for the second quarter of 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 the net interest margin was 1.60% as compared to 1.90% reported for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Retail Banking Operations

Flagstar Bank had 145 branches in operation at June 30, 2006 and expects to open approximately seven more branches by the end of 2006. During the second quarter, Flagstar completed its bank wide implementation of its Loyalty Pricing Program to build its core deposit base. This program enhanced the Company’s cross-sell ratio. The households in this program had an average of 4.8 accounts versus 1.8 accounts for other households.

Mortgage Banking Operations

Flagstar’s gain on sale spread decreased to 20 basis points during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to 33 basis points recorded during first quarter of 2006. During the 2005 second quarter, the gain decreased 27 basis points as compared to 47 basis points gain on sale. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 gain on sale decreased 6 basis points to 26 basis points as compared to 32 basis points recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

During the second quarter of 2006, Flagstar sold servicing rights related to underlying loans of $9.9 billion of servicing as compared to $2.4 billion during the first quarter of 2006 and none during the second quarter of 2005. Sales of servicing rights totaled $12.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and $2.5 billion during the same period in 2005.

At June 30, 2006, Flagstar’s mortgage servicing portfolio totaled $22.4 billion with a weighted average service fee of 35.6 basis points, a decrease from $29.2 billion at March 31, 2006 with a weighted average servicing fee of 34.8 basis points. The decrease is the result of the bulk sale that occurred in the second quarter. The capitalized value of Flagstar’s servicing portfolio was $231 million, or 1.03% of the outstanding balance of loans serviced for others, at June 30, 2006 as compared to $321 million, or 1.10%, at March 31, 2006. The estimated market value of the portfolio was $328.7 million at June 30, 2006 and $442.6 million March 31, 2006.

Asset Quality

Non-performing loans totaled $50.0 million at June 30, 2006, a decrease of $8.0 million as compared to $58.0 million recorded at March 31, 2006. Delinquencies (30 day +) as a percent of loans held for investment also decreased slightly to 0.53% at June 30, 2006, from 0.59% at March 31, 2006. At June 30, 2006, 89.9% of non-performing loans were secured by first or second mortgages on single-family homes.
