New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: NYCB) (the "Company") today reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of $106.8 million, down modestly from the $107.4 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and down 3.3% from the $110.5 million reported for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Net income available to common shareholders was $98.6 million, also down modestly from the $99.1 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and down 3.6% from the $102.3 million reported for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Net income and net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended September 30, 2017 included an $82.0 million pre-tax gain on the sale of covered loans and our mortgage banking operations, as well as a $44.6 million provision for loan losses largely due to taxi medallion-related loans.

Diluted earnings per common share ("EPS") for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $0.20, unchanged from the prior quarter and as compared to $0.21 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Commenting on the Company's third quarter performance, President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph R. Ficalora stated, "Despite what traditionally is a seasonally slow quarter, the Company turned in a respectable performance during the third quarter, reflecting a continuation of our three-prong strategy to increase earnings: growing our loan portfolio at higher interest rates, redeploying our excess liquidity into higher yielding assets, and significantly reducing our operating expenses, while keeping a sharp eye on asset quality.

"Our loan portfolio, driven by our core multi-family loan product, continued to grow during the third quarter. Total loans held for investment grew 5% on an annualized basis to $39.8 billion. Since the beginning of 2018, we have grown our loan portfolio by $1.5 billion, with most of this growth occurring over the past two quarters, in response to the SIFI threshold being raised to $250 billion in late May. The growth in loans helped drive our assets higher. Total assets at September 30, 2018 were $51.2 billion, up over $2.0 billion since the beginning of the year.

"While our loans continued to grow, we have not sacrificed our underwriting standards and our asset quality metrics remain pristine. Non-performing assets declined again this quarter, as did net charge-offs. In fact, we did not have any charge-offs in our core multi-family, commercial real estate, and commercial & industrial loan portfolios during the quarter.

"We also continued our reinvestment strategy during the current quarter, redeploying a portion of our excess cash position into higher yielding assets, primarily investment securities. We expect to continue to redeploy excess cash during the fourth quarter.

"Additionally, we remained diligent on our expense controls as operating expenses declined again during the third quarter. So far during the first nine months of the year, non-interest expenses declined $81.3 million or 16% compared to the first nine months of 2017. We remain on track to meet our expense reduction goals for 2018.

"Also on October 1st, we received final regulatory approval to merge our commercial bank subsidiary, New York Commercial Bank with and into our primary banking subsidiary, New York Community Bank. This merger will result in additional organizational and capital flexibility, as well as certain operational efficiencies, and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2018.

"Finally, we are pleased to receive regulatory approval and Board authorization for our share repurchase program. The program, which is in line with our capital planning, is expected to be immediately accretive to EPS, allows us to take advantage of current market conditions, and will accelerate our internal capital generation."

Board of Directors Declares $0.17 per Common Share Dividend and Authorizes $300 Million Common Share Repurchase Program
Reflecting our earnings and our capital position, the Board of Directors yesterday declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.17 per share. The dividend is payable on November 20, 2018 to common shareholders of record as of November 6, 2018, and represents a dividend yield of 7.2% based on yesterday's closing price.

Also yesterday, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of $300 million of the Company's outstanding common shares. Purchases will be made from time to time in open market transactions.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

Total assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 were $51.2 billion, up just over $2.0 billion or 4% from the year ended December 31, 2017 and up $777.5 million or 6% annualized from the quarter ended June 30, 2018. This quarter's asset growth was primarily due to loan growth combined with growth in the securities portfolio. This growth was funded mainly by deposits and to a lesser extent wholesale borrowings.

While the third quarter of the year traditionally is our slowest for loan growth, we still had very good growth and are on target for mid-single digit growth in 2018. Total loans held for investment rose $1.5 billion or 5% from December 31, 2017 to $39.8 billion and rose $390 million compared to the balance at June 30, 2018.

In addition to solid loan growth this quarter, we also grew our securities portfolio, as we continued to reinvest our excess cash position. Accordingly, the balance of available-for-sale securities increased $641 million to $4.8 billion compared to June 30, 2018 and by $1.2 billion compared to December 31, 2017. Total securities as a percentage of total assets increased to 9.4% during the current third quarter compared to 8.2% at the prior quarter-end and 7.2% at year-end 2017.

Our growth during this quarter was funded primarily through deposits. Total deposits rose $1.2 billion, or 6% annualized to $30.3 billion compared to the level at December 31, 2017 and $763 million or 10% annualized compared to the level at June 30, 2018. Wholesale borrowings of $13.5 billion rose $927 million or 10% annualized compared to the balance at December 31, 2017 and increased $47 million or 1% annualized compared to the balance at June 30, 2018.

Loans

Loans held for investment, net totaled $39.7 billion at September 30, 2018, a $1.4 billion or 5% annualized increase from December 31, 2017, and an increase of $391 million from June 30, 2018.

The Company's overall loan growth was driven by growth in our multi-family and commercial and industrial ("C&I") loan portfolios. Multi-family loans grew to $29.6 billion in the current third quarter. This represents annualized growth of $1.5 billion or 7%, compared to December 31, 2017.

C&I loans, which are primarily specialty finance related-loans, increased $287 million or 19% annualized to $2.3 billion compared to the balance at December 31, 2017.

Conversely, the commercial real estate ("CRE") loan portfolio declined both on a linked-quarter and year-to-date basis, due to payoffs and scheduled maturities. CRE loans declined $289 million, or 5% annualized to $7.0 billion compared to year-end 2017.

Originations
Reflecting typical third quarter seasonality, loans originated for investment were $2.5 billion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, loans originated for investment were up 36% to $7.9 billion compared to the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 with multi-family originations increasing 60%, specialty finance up 13%, and CRE up 6%.

Pipeline
The current loan pipeline stands at $1.3 billion. This includes $800 million in multi-family loans, $163 million in CRE loans, and $316 million in specialty finance loans.

Funding

Deposits
Total deposits increased $1.2 billion or 6% annualized on a year-to-date basis and $763 million or 10% annualized, sequentially to $30.3 billion. Deposit growth was driven in large part through certificates of deposit ("CDs") and to a lesser extent, through non-interest-bearing accounts.

On a year-to-date basis, CDs rose $2.8 billion or 43% annualized and on a linked-quarter basis, CDs grew $1.1 billion, also 43% annualized. Non-interest-bearing accounts increased $211 million, or 12% on a year-to-date annualized basis and $25 million, or 4% annualized on a linked-quarter basis.

Borrowed Funds
Total borrowed funds were $13.8 billion at September 30, 2018, up $927 million, or 10% annualized compared to year-end 2017 and up $47 million, or 1% annualized compared to second quarter 2018. The entire increase was due to higher wholesale borrowings, consisting primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York borrowings.

Asset Quality

Total non-performing assets ("NPAs") declined $3 million, or 4% to $67.8 million, or 0.13% of total assets at September 30, 2018 compared to $70.7 million, or 0.14% of total assets at June 30, 2018. NPAs were down $17 million, or 20% compared to $84.7 million, or 0.17% of total assets at September 30, 2017.

Non-performing loans ("NPLs") were $54.1 million at September 30, 2018, down 4% sequentially and 22% year-over-year. For the current third quarter, NPLs represented 0.14% of total loans, unchanged from the prior quarter, and 0.18% of total loans in the year-ago quarter. The majority of NPLs are taxi medallion-related loans, which were $41.3 million in the current third quarter versus $43.5 million in the prior quarter and $43.4 million in the year-ago quarter.

Repossessed assets totaled $13.8 million, a decrease of 3% compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of 13% compared to the year-ago quarter. As with our NPLs, the majority of our repossessed assets consist of repossessed taxi medallions, which represented $8.6 million of repossessed assets during the current quarter, $9.0 million in the prior quarter, and $6.5 million in the year-ago quarter. At September 30, 2018, the Company's total taxi medallion-related loans were $80.7 million compared to $85.8 million at the prior quarter end.

In the third quarter of 2018, the Company recorded net charge-offs of $2.2 million or 0.01% of average loans compared to $5.2 million or 0.01% in the prior quarter and $40.4 million or 0.11% in the year-ago quarter. As in the previous quarter, the majority of our net charge-offs were taxi medallion-related. Aside from taxi medallion-related charge-offs, the Company did not have any charge-offs this quarter in its multi-family, CRE, and C&I portfolios while recording modest recoveries.

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018

For the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company reported net income of $106.8 million, down a modest 0.5% from the $107.4 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and down 3.3% from the $110.5 million reported for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Net income available to common shareholders was $98.6 million, down 0.6% from the $99.1 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and down 3.6% from the $102.3 million reported for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, both net income and net income available to common shareholders included an $82.0 million pre-tax gain on the sale of certain covered one-to-four family residential loans and mortgage banking operations and a $44.6 million provision for loan losses tied primarily to taxi medallion-related loans.

Diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $0.20, unchanged from the prior quarter and as compared to $0.21 in the year-ago quarter.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $249.5 million, down 5% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 and down 10% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. While interest income rose 2% and 8%, compared to the respective prior periods, this was offset by higher levels of interest expense. The higher levels of interest expense were driven by growth in CDs and wholesale borrowings, along with higher rates on those balances due to the continuation of the Federal Reserve's interest rate increases.

Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin for the current third quarter was 2.16%, down 17 basis points compared to the prior quarter and down 37 basis points compared to the year-ago quarter. The decline was due to higher funding costs driven by Federal Reserve rate increases over the past year. In addition to higher interest expense, the third quarter 2018 net interest margin was negatively impacted by a lower level of loan prepayments. Prepayment income added eight basis points to the net interest margin during the third quarter, compared to 14 and 16 basis points, respectively, in the prior quarter and year-ago quarter.

Excluding the contribution to net interest income from prepayment income, the third quarter 2018 net interest margin would have been 2.08%, down 11 basis points.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2018 was $1.2 million, down 75% compared to the second quarter of 2018 and down 97% compared to the third quarter of 2017. The loan loss provision in the year-ago quarter was $44.6 million, largely reflecting the write down of our taxi medallion-related loan portfolio.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income during the third quarter of 2018 totaled $22.9 million, relatively unchanged from the amount recorded in the second quarter of 2018, but was down 79% compared to the third quarter of 2017. The prior-year quarter included an $82.0 million gain on sale related to the sale of certain covered one-to-four family residential loans and our mortgage banking operations.

Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense was $134.4 million during the current third-quarter, down 3% compared to the second quarter of this year and down 17% compared to the third quarter of 2017. Both the linked quarter and year-over-year improvements were driven by lower general and administrative expense, compensation and benefits expense, and occupancy and equipment expense.

The efficiency ratio increased to 49.35% on lower revenues, compared to 48.19% in the prior quarter and 42.10% in the year-ago quarter.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $30.0 million, reflecting modestly lower pre-tax income and a lower effective tax rate of 21.95%. This compares to an effective tax rate of 25.35% in the prior quarter and 38.10% in the year-ago quarter. The lower effective tax rate in both the current quarter and the second quarter of 2018 is due to tax reform legislation passed in late 2017, as well as various tax planning strategies.

NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. RECONCILIATIONS OF CERTAIN GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (unaudited)
While stockholders' equity, total assets, and book value per share are financial measures that are recorded in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), tangible stockholders' equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are not.  Nevertheless, it is management's belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in our earnings releases and other investor communications for the following reasons:
1.      Tangible 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.      Returns on average tangible assets and average tangible stockholders' equity are among the profitability measures considered by current and prospective                investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, the Company's peers.
3.      Tangible book value per share and the ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets are among the capital measures considered by current                and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, its peers.
Tangible stockholders' equity, tangible assets, and the related non-GAAP profitability and capital measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders' equity, total assets, or any other profitability or capital measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these non-GAAP measures may differ from that of other companies reporting non-GAAP measures with similar names.
The following table presents reconciliations of our common stockholders' equity and tangible common stockholders' equity, our total assets and tangible assets, and the related GAAP and non-GAAP profitability and capital measures at or for the three months ended September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:

(1)

To calculate return on average assets for a period, we divide net income generated during that period by average assets recorded during that period. To calculate return on average tangible assets for a period, we adjust net income generated during that period by adding back the amortization of CDI, net of tax, and then divide that adjusted net income by average tangible assets recorded during that period.

(2)

To calculate return on average common stockholders' equity for a period, we divide net income available to common shareholders generated during that period by average common stockholders' equity recorded during that period. To calculate return on average tangible common stockholders' equity for a period, we adjust net income available to common shareholders generated during that period by adding back the amortization of CDI, net of tax, and then divide that adjusted net income by average tangible common stockholders' equity recorded during that period.

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 this non-GAAP measure in its analysis of our performance, and believes that this non-GAAP measure should be disclosed in our earnings releases 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.
