FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FLAGSTAR REPORTS 2007 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

TROY, Mich. (April 26, 2007) — Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:FBC), today reported 2007 first quarter net earnings of $7.8 million, or $0.12 per share (diluted). First quarter 2006 net earnings were $18.9 million, or $0.29 per share (diluted). On a linked-quarter basis, net earnings were $6.9 million, or $0.11 per share (diluted) in 2006 fourth quarter. Return on equity and return on average assets for the first quarter 2007 were 3.85% and 0.19%, respectively, as compared to 9.73% and 0.50% for the same period in 2006 and 3.41% and 0.18% for 2006 fourth quarter.

The 2007 first quarter earnings as compared to the same period in 2006 were negatively impacted by, among other factors, lower net interest income, a reduction of loan servicing income and a reduction in gain on sale of mortgage servicing rights. These were partially offset by an improvement in gain on loan sales.

On a linked quarter basis, net interest income was constant although the benefit of the increase in gain on loan sales and decline in non-interest expenses was offset by the decrease in sales of mortgage servicing rights and other fees and charges.

Balance Sheet and Capital Adequacy

Consolidated assets increased $0.3 billion or 2.0%, to $15.4 billion at March 31, 2007 as compared to $15.1 billion at March 31, 2006 and decreased $0.1 billion or 0.6%, from $15.5 billion at December 31, 2006. Total assets included $40.2 million of subprime loans held in our investment portfolio, which comprised 0.3% of total assets and had a weighted average life of 3.4 years. Flagstar Bank, our wholly owned subsidiary, was considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes at March 31, 2007, with regulatory capital ratios of 6.3% core capital and 11.4% risk-based capital.

Net Interest Margin

Flagstar Bank’s net interest margin for the first quarter 2007 was 1.43%, as compared to 1.58% for the fourth quarter 2006 and 1.65% for the first quarter 2006. “The decline in net interest margin for the quarter reflects a combination of items,” according to Mark Hammond, president and chief executive officer. “We securitized and sold higher-yielding loans at the end of Q4 2006 and during Q1 2007 and so did not have the benefit of that interest income during Q1 2007. However, we significantly reduced our credit exposure on our high loan-to-volume second mortgage/home equity loan portfolio. Also, borrowings and deposits that we had obtained two or more years ago matured during the quarter and were replaced by deposits and borrowings at current higher market rates.”

Retail Banking Operations

Flagstar Bank had 155 retail banking branches at March 31, 2007, an increase of 9.9% as compared to 141 branches as of March 31, 2006 and an increase of 2.6% from 151 branches at December 31, 2006. During

the first quarter of 2007, the total number of retail accounts increased 6.6% to over 288,600, as compared to approximately 270,700 at March 31, 2006 and 3.9% to over approximately 277,900 at December 31, 2006.

Mortgage Banking Operations

Loan production for first quarter 2007 increased 23.4% to $5.8 billion, including $5.5 billion of residential loans, as compared to $4.7 billion, including $4.3 billion of residential loans, for first quarter of 2006. It increased 7.4% as compared to loan originations of $5.4 billion, including $5.1 billion in residential loans in the fourth quarter 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, Flagstar originated $31.8 million in subprime loans, which comprised 0.6% of residential loan originations and as to which we retained $7.4 million for our investment loan portfolio. Gain on sale spread was 44 basis points during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 33 basis points for the first quarter 2006 and 52 basis points for the 2006 fourth quarter.

At March 31, 2007, Flagstar’s mortgage servicing portfolio totaled $19.1 billion with a weighted average service fee of 37.0 basis points. This is a decrease from $29.2 billion at March 31, 2006 with an average weighted servicing fee of 34.8 basis points and an increase from $15.0 billion at December 31, 2006 with a weighted average servicing fee of 37.1 basis points. The capitalized value of Flagstar’s servicing portfolio was $226.8 million, or 1.19% of the outstanding balance of loans serviced for others, at March 31, 2007 with an estimated market value of $263.6 million. This compares to the capitalized value of $321.2 million, or 1.10%, at March 31, 2006 with an estimated market value of $442.6 million and $173.3 million, or 1.15%, at December 31, 2006 with an estimated market value of $197.6 million.

Asset Quality

Net charge-offs of loans during the first quarter 2007 increased to $5.6 million from $5.2 million during the fourth quarter 2006. Total non-performing assets were generally unchanged at $160.5 million at March 31, 2007, as compared to $160.2 million at December 31, 2006. Of non-performing assets, real estate owned declined 5.2% to $76.8 million at March 31, 2007 from $81.0 million at December 31, 2006. Repurchased assets declined 58.5% to $9.2 million at March 31, 2007 from $22.1 million at December 31, 2006.

Non-performing loans, which include loans 90 days or more past due and matured loans, increased to $74.6 million at March 31, 2007 as compared to $57.1 million at December 31, 2006 and $58.0 million at March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, 87.7% of non-performing loans were secured by first or second mortgages on single-family homes as compared to 90.7% at December 31, 2006.

Loans 90 days or more past due were 0.93% of loans held for investment at March 31, 2007 as compared to 0.64% at December 31, 2006 and 0.59% at March 31, 2006. The aggregate of loans past due 30 days or less and 60 days or less declined 9.9% to $56.1 million at March 31, 2007 from $62.3 million at December 31, 2006.

Single-family residential first mortgage loans held for investment at March 31, 2007 had an average FICO credit score of 721 and an average original loan-to-value ratio of 73%.
