The Company reported operating earnings of $71.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 (2) and cash earnings of $82.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share.(1) In conjunction with the Company's decision to sell $1.1 billion of securities in the third quarter, a pre-tax loss of $57.0 million on the other-than-temporary impairment of securities (the "impairment loss") was recorded in the second quarter of 2007, in accordance with the current interpretation of FASB Staff Position FAS 115-1/124-1. Absent the impairment loss, which was due to a change in market interest rates rather than a change in credit quality, the Company's GAAP earnings would have equaled $74.7 million, or $0.24 per diluted share. Reflecting the impairment loss, which was equal to $38.7 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, on an after-tax basis, the Company recorded GAAP earnings of $36.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2007. In addition to the aforementioned impairment loss, the Company's second quarter 2007 GAAP earnings included an after-tax gain on the sale of securities of $6.2 million in connection with the post-merger repositioning of the balance sheet. A portion of the proceeds from securities sales was utilized to prepay $330.3 million of wholesale borrowings with an average cost of 5.35%, generating an after-tax charge of $2.2 million. In addition, the Company recorded a $1.3 million after-tax loss on debt redemption in the current second quarter, in connection with the early redemption of certain trust-preferred securities. In the third quarter of 2007, the Company will record a pre-tax loss of approximately $7.5 million on the sale of the $1.1 billion of securities that were written down in the second quarter, as described above. Commenting on the Company's operating results, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Joseph R. Ficalora stated, "While our second quarter performance was certainly gratifying on an operating basis, we are even more excited about the actions we took over the course of the quarter to position ourselves for future periods. As a result of these actions, we have provided ourselves with the liquidity to capitalize on market conditions and the opportunity to enhance our margin in a challenging rate environment. "We started the quarter by completing our acquisition of PennFed on April 2nd and immediately began the repositioning of our balance sheet. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of one-to-four family loans was invested in higher-yielding assets and utilized to reduce our balance of wholesale borrowings. "We next announced plans to acquire Synergy Financial Group, another in-market institution, and on June 6th, announced the sale of our Atlantic Bank headquarters in Herald Square. The sale of the building was completed last week, generating proceeds of about $105 million and a third quarter gain of approximately $65 million, pre-tax. As a result of the gain from the sale of the building, the strength of our capital measures will be maintained. "We expect the benefit of these actions to be reflected in future quarters, as the repositioning enhances the fundamental strength of our margin, and the liquidity created gives us significant flexibility with regard to the management of our assets and liabilities. These actions are consistent with our mission, and our business model, and, we believe, will create value in future periods," Mr. Ficalora said. "As for our second quarter performance, the highlight was our net interest margin, which rose 12 basis points linked-quarter and 15 basis points year-over-year. While the expansion of our margin largely reflects the higher yields provided by our interest-earning assets and the contribution of prepayment penalties to term yields, we also held the line on our cost of funds over the last three months. As indicated in the past, we had expected to see an increase in prepayment penalties in 2007 and 2008, and this expectation has thus far been validated by the volume recorded to date. Prepayment penalties totaled $36 million in the first six months of 2007, exceeding last year's twelve-month amount by 22%. "Another second quarter highlight was the quality of our assets, which has been a constant throughout our public life. Non-performing assets declined $10.8 million over the course of the quarter to $14.7 million, which represented a modest 0.05% of total assets at the end of June. "In addition, our operating efficiency ratio, which has consistently ranked among the best in the nation, improved to 40.48% in the quarter, reflecting the growth of our core revenues," Mr. Ficalora commented. $0.25 Per Share Dividend to be Paid on August 15, 2007 "Reflecting the strength of our operating performance and our solid capital position," Mr. Ficalora continued, "the Board of Directors last night reaffirmed its commitment to our quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share. It's important to note that our cash earnings equaled $0.27 per diluted share in the second quarter, bringing our year-to-date cash earnings to $0.50 per diluted share. The next dividend will be paid on August 15, 2007 to shareholders of record on August 6th." Balance Sheet Summary Primarily reflecting the benefit of the PennFed acquisition, the Company's assets rose $1.6 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, to $29.6 billion over the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. While PennFed had total assets of $2.3 billion at the date of acquisition, the Company sold $1.4 billion of one-to-four family loans acquired in the transaction, either as whole or securitized loans. By quarter-end, the proceeds were utilized to pay down wholesale borrowings of $452.6 million and to purchase $671.2 million of securities with an average yield of 6.24%. As a result, wholesale borrowings totaled $10.7 billion at June 30, 2007, representing 36.2% of total assets, and securities totaled $5.7 billion, representing 19.2%. Loans The flexibility provided by PennFed and by the pending Doral and Synergy transactions has given the Company the opportunity to restrain its lending in the current environment. While originations totaled $2.2 billion in the first half of the year, including $1.0 billion in the second quarter, repayments totaled $3.2 billion during the six-month period, including second quarter repayments of $1.7 billion. As a result, the loan portfolio declined to $18.9 billion, representing 63.9% of total assets, at June 30, 2007, as compared to $19.3 billion, or 68.9% of total assets, at March 31, 2007 and $19.7 billion, or 69.0% of total assets, at December 31, 2006. While the volume of loan originations was exceeded by the volume of loan repayments in the second quarter, the Company realized a linked-quarter increase in interest income as a result of the rise in prepayment penalties stemming from anticipated refinancing activity and property sales. Multi-family loans represented $13.5 billion, or 71.6%, of total loans at June 30, 2007, down $692.5 million from the trailing quarter-end balance and $990.0 million from the balance recorded at year-end 2006. While originations totaled $1.0 billion in the first six months of the year, including $377.8 million in the second quarter, the volume of loans produced was exceeded by repayments. In the current environment, the Company has opted to limit its multi-family loan production rather than compete for product on irrational terms. At June 30, 2007, the average multi-family loan had a principal balance of $3.4 million, and the portfolio had an average loan-to-value ratio of 63.2%. The expected weighted average life of the portfolio was 3.2 years at quarter-end. Commercial real estate loans represented $3.2 billion, or 17.0%, of total loans at June 30, 2007, and were up $158.7 million and $99.4 million, respectively, from the balances recorded at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The increase was largely attributable to the PennFed transaction, which accounted for $130.6 million of commercial real estate loans at the second quarter-end. The average commercial real estate loan had a principal balance of $2.0 million at June 30, 2007. The portfolio had an average loan-to-value ratio of 57.0% and an expected weighted average life of 3.5 years at that date. Construction loans totaled $1.1 billion at June 30, 2007 and were up $23.6 million and $42.4 million, respectively, from the balances recorded at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Year-to-date originations totaled $378.0 million, including $233.5 million of loans produced in the second quarter of the year. Construction loans represented 6.0% of total loans at June 30, 2007 and had a remaining average life of less than 18 months on advanced funds. Largely reflecting loans acquired in the PennFed transaction, other loans rose $78.4 million and $60.1 million, respectively, to $735.6 million at June 30, 2007 from the balances recorded at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Commercial and industrial loans represented $629.4 million of other loans at June 30, 2007, as compared to $626.1 million and $641.8 million, respectively, at the earlier dates. At the present time, the Company's pipeline amounts to approximately $877 million, and includes approximately $596 million of multi-family loans. Asset Quality The Company recorded non-performing assets of $14.7 million at June 30, 2007, representing 0.05% of total assets, as compared to $25.5 million, representing 0.09% of total assets, at March 31, 2007 and to $22.5 million, representing 0.08% of total assets, at December 31, 2006. The reduction in non-performing assets was primarily due to the repayment of a construction loan in the amount of $10.7 million that had been on non-accrual status since the second quarter of 2005. Non-performing loans represented $13.7 million, or 0.07% of total loans, at the close of the second quarter, an improvement from $24.6 million, or 0.13% of total loans, at March 31, 2007 and from $21.2 million, or 0.11% of total loans, at December 31, 2006. Other real estate owned accounted for $994,000 of non-performing assets at June 30, 2007, as compared to $899,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, at the earlier dates. The allowance for loan losses rose to $88.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $85.3 million at the close of the trailing quarter and from $85.4 million at December 31, 2006. While charge-offs totaled $67,000 in the second quarter, the impact was offset by the addition of a $2.9 million loan loss allowance in connection with the acquisition of PennFed. Reflecting the acquired allowance and the reduction in non-performing loans in the second quarter, the allowance for loan losses represented 641.64% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2007, as compared to 346.62% at March 31, 2007 and 402.7% at December 31, 2006. The loan loss allowance represented 0.47% of total loans at the close of the second quarter, as compared to 0.44% and 0.43%, respectively, at the earlier dates. Securities Securities represented $5.7 billion, or 19.2%, of total assets at June 30, 2007, as compared to $4.7 billion and $4.9 billion, or 16.9% and 17.3%, of total assets at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The increase reflects the addition of PennFed's securities portfolio, which totaled $459.5 million at the end of the second quarter, as well as securities totaling $671.2 million that were purchased during the quarter with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of PennFed's one-to-four family loan portfolio. The vast majority of the purchased securities were government agency-backed securities. Available-for-sale securities represented $2.8 billion, or 48.3%, of total securities at June 30, 2007, and were up $832.5 million and $811.1 million, respectively, from the trailing quarter- and year-end amounts. The balance of held-to-maturity securities, meanwhile, totaled $2.9 billion, representing a $118.1 million increase from the March 31, 2007 balance and a $44.7 million reduction from the year-end 2006 amount. Mortgage-related securities represented $2.0 billion and $1.3 billion of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, respectively, at June 30, 2007; other securities represented the remaining $732.5 million and $1.6 billion of the respective balances. At June 30, 2007, the after-tax net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities totaled $17.9 million, signifying a linked-quarter reduction of $17.3 million. The reduction primarily reflects the $57.0 million pre-tax loss on the other-than-temporary impairment of securities totaling $1.1 billion that was recorded in the second quarter of the year. Funding Sources The Company recorded total deposits of $13.8 billion at June 30, 2007, up $1.4 billion, or 10.9%, from the balance recorded at March 31, 2007 and $1.2 billion, or 9.1%, from the balance recorded at December 31, 2006. The increase primarily reflects deposits acquired in the PennFed transaction. At the date of acquisition, PennFed had total deposits of $1.6 billion, including certificates of deposit ("CDs") of $1.0 billion and core deposits (defined as NOW and money market accounts, savings accounts, and non-interest-bearing accounts) of $584.0 million. Core deposits represented $6.9 billion, or 50.0%, of total deposits at the close of the second quarter, as compared to $6.3 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The linked-quarter increase stemmed from a $333.5 million rise in NOW and money market accounts to $3.1 billion, a $186.2 million rise in savings accounts to $2.6 billion, and a $30.4 million rise in non-interest-bearing accounts to $1.2 billion. The six-month increase in core deposits was the net effect of a $184.3 million increase in savings accounts, a $65.9 million increase in non-interest-bearing accounts, and a $36.8 million reduction in NOW and money market accounts. CDs totaled $6.9 billion at the close of the second quarter, and were up $805.2 million and $936.9 million, respectively, from the March 31st and December 31st amounts. Borrowed funds totaled $11.6 billion at the close of the second quarter, down $309.1 million from the December 31, 2006 balance, and up $91.4 million from the balance recorded at March 31, 2007. Wholesale borrowings accounted for $10.7 billion of the June 30, 2007 balance, a $353.2 million reduction from the year-end 2006 balance and a $46.8 million increase from the March 31, 2007 amount. While the Company reduced its balance of wholesale borrowings by $452.6 million in the second quarter, the PennFed transaction added $499.4 million to the June 30, 2007 balance of wholesale borrowings. Stockholders' Equity The Company recorded total stockholders' equity of $4.0 billion at June 30, 2007, up $249.9 million and $271.6 million, respectively, from the balances recorded at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The June 30, 2007 amount was equivalent to 13.37% of total assets and a book value of $12.67 per share, based on 312,572,289 shares. Tangible stockholders' equity totaled $1.5 billion at the close of the second quarter, signifying a linked-quarter increase of $49.0 million and a six-month increase of $79.3 million. Excluding the aforementioned impairment loss and after-tax mark-to-market adjustments on securities, adjusted tangible stockholders' equity represented 5.80% of adjusted tangible assets, as compared to 5.86% and 5.66%, respectively, at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Including the impairment loss and adjustments, tangible stockholders' equity represented 5.57% of tangible assets, as compared to 5.70% and 5.47%, respectively, at the earlier dates.(3) The Company's subsidiary banks also reported solid levels of capital at the close of the second quarter, and continued to exceed the requirements for classification as "well capitalized" institutions under the FDIC Improvement Act. At June 30, 2007, New York Community Bank had a leverage capital ratio of 7.73% and New York Commercial Bank had a leverage capital ratio of 11.21%. Second Quarter 2007 Earnings Summary Net Interest Income The Company recorded net interest income of $161.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007, signifying a linked-quarter increase of $14.9 million, or 10.2%. The increase was driven by a $31.6 million rise in interest income to $401.0 million, which exceeded a $16.7 million, or 7.5%, rise in interest expense to $239.9 million. The linked-quarter increase in interest income was attributable to a $1.5 billion rise in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $26.3 billion, largely reflecting interest-earning assets acquired in the PennFed transaction, and a 14-basis point increase in the average yield to 6.10%. Reflecting refinancing activity and property sales in the multi-family sector, prepayment penalties rose to $22.3 million in the current second quarter from $13.7 million in the first quarter of the year. The higher average yield also reflects the replenishment of the portfolio with loans featuring higher interest rates. Loans generated interest income of $313.5 million, representing 78.2% of total interest income in the current second quarter and a $15.0 million increase from the trailing-quarter amount. The average yield on loans rose 30 basis points, to 6.44%, on a linked-quarter basis, offsetting the impact of a $26.5 million reduction in the average balance of loans to $19.5 billion. In the current environment, management has refrained from originating loans at historic volumes, rather than compete for product by offering loans on irrational terms. Instead, management has opted to capitalize on the increased liquidity afforded by the post-merger balance sheet repositioning and the current market, and will reevaluate the lending environment as market conditions become more favorable. The linked-quarter increase in interest expense was largely acquisition-related, as the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities rose $1.4 billion, reflecting a $1.3 billion rise in average interest-bearing deposits to $12.9 billion and an $87.1 million rise in average borrowed funds to $11.8 billion. While the interest expense produced by such funds rose $13.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, on a linked-quarter basis, these increases were fairly modest. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits rose two basis points, to 3.51%, over the course of the quarter, while the average cost of borrowed funds rose five basis points, to 4.33%. The average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities rose one basis point on a linked-quarter basis, to 3.90%. The same factors that contributed to the rise in the Company's second quarter 2007 net interest income contributed to a rise in its net interest margin to 2.44%. The margin expanded 12 basis points on a linked-quarter basis and 15 basis points year-over-year. Non-interest (Loss) Income Primarily reflecting the aforementioned pre-tax impairment loss of $57.0 million, the Company recorded a non-interest loss of $23.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to non-interest income of $24.1 million in the trailing three-month period. While the second quarter amount also reflects a $1.8 million loss on debt redemption stemming from the early redemption of certain trust preferred securities, the non-interest loss was tempered by a $994,000 increase in fee income to $10.7 million; a $607,000 increase in other income to $14.9 million; and a $9.2 million net gain on the sale of securities. Non-interest Expense The Company recorded non-interest expense of $84.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $74.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007. The linked-quarter increase stemmed from a $6.3 million rise in operating expenses to $75.6 million, an $821,000 rise in core deposit intangible ("CDI") amortization to $5.8 million, and a $3.2 million charge for the prepayment of wholesale borrowings. The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects the addition of PennFed's branch network on April 2nd, as well as accruals for the Company's Stock and Management Incentive Compensation Plans. During the quarter, compensation and benefits expense rose $2.7 million to $39.9 million, reflecting both factors, while the PennFed transaction contributed to a $2.4 million rise in occupancy and equipment expense to $17.5 million and a $1.1 million increase in general and administrative expense to $18.2 million. The increase in CDI amortization reflects the CDI acquired in the PennFed transaction, which is being amortized on an accelerated basis over a period of ten years. Income Tax Expense The Company recorded income tax expense of $16.6 million in the current second quarter, down $14.5 million from the level recorded in the trailing three-month period. The linked-quarter reduction was attributable to a $43.4 million decline in pre-tax income to $52.5 million and a decline in the effective tax rate to 31.54% from 32.43%. The reduction in pre-tax income primarily reflects the impact of the aforementioned impairment loss.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND OPERATING EARNINGS (unaudited) Although operating earnings are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that operating earnings are an important indication of its ability to generate earnings through ongoing operations. The Company calculated its operating earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 by (1) adding back to non-interest income the $1.8 million pre-tax loss incurred in connection with the redemption of trust preferred securities (the "loss on debt redemption"); (2) subtracting from non-interest income the $9.2 million pre-tax net gain on the sale of securities; (3) adding back to non-interest income the $57.0 million pre-tax loss on the other- than-temporary impairment of securities; and (4) subtracting from non-interest expense the $3.2 million pre-tax charge for the prepayment of borrowings. To calculate its operating earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company subtracted from non-interest expense the pre-tax post-merger repositioning charge of $27.6 million. In calculating its operating earnings for the six- month period, the Company also added back to non-interest income a $6.1 million pre-tax non-cash loss on the mark-to-market of interest rate swaps incurred in the first quarter of 2006. Because operating earnings reflect only those income and expense items that are generally recurring, the Company believes that they are useful to investors seeking to evaluate its ongoing operating performance and to compare its performance with other companies in the banking industry that also report operating earnings. Operating earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow statement data calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Company calculates its operating earnings may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names. A reconciliation of the Company's GAAP and operating earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 follows. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company's GAAP and operating earnings were the same.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP AND CASH EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED CASH EARNINGS (unaudited) While neither cash earnings nor adjusted cash earnings are measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that these measures are important because of their contribution to tangible stockholders' equity.(1) The Company calculates cash earnings by adding back to GAAP earnings certain items that have been charged against net income but added back to tangible stockholders' equity. Unlike other expenses incurred by the Company, such capital items represent contributions to, not reductions of, tangible stockholders' equity. For this reason, the Company believes that cash earnings are useful to investors seeking to evaluate its financial performance and to compare its performance with other companies in the banking industry that also report cash earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company also reported adjusted cash earnings, in order to provide investors with an indication of its ability to generate cash earnings through ongoing operations. The Company calculated its adjusted cash earnings for the second quarter of 2007 by (1) adding back to non-interest income the $1.8 million pre-tax loss incurred in connection with the redemption of trust preferred securities; (2) subtracting from non- interest income the $9.2 million pre-tax net gain on the sale of securities; and (3) subtracting from non-interest expense the $3.2 million pre-tax charge for the prepayment of wholesale borrowings. The Company calculated its adjusted cash earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 by subtracting the $27.6 million pre- tax post-merger repositioning charge from non-interest expense. In addition, the $6.1 million pre-tax loss on the mark-to-market of interest rate swaps was added back to non-interest income in calculating the Company's adjusted cash earnings for the first six months of 2006. Neither cash earnings nor adjusted cash earnings should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow statement data calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which the Company calculates cash earnings and adjusted cash earnings may differ from that of other companies reporting measures with similar names.

NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. RECONCILIATION OF STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND TANGIBLE STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, TOTAL ASSETS AND TANGIBLE ASSETS, AND THE RELATED MEASURES (unaudited) Although tangible stockholders' equity, adjusted tangible stockholders' equity, tangible assets, and adjusted tangible assets are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company's performance. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are an important indication of its ability to grow both organically and through business combinations, and, with respect to tangible stockholders' equity and adjusted tangible stockholders' equity, its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies. The Company calculates tangible stockholders' equity by subtracting from stockholders' equity the sum of its goodwill and core deposit intangibles ("CDI") and calculates tangible assets by subtracting the same sum from its total assets. To calculate its ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets, the Company divides its tangible stockholders' equity by its tangible assets, both of which include after-tax net unrealized losses on securities. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company also calculated its ratio of tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets excluding the $38.7 million after-tax loss on the other-than-temporary impairment of securities (the "impairment loss"), as well as the after-tax net unrealized losses on securities, as such losses are impacted by changes in market interest rates and therefore tend to change from day to day. This ratio is referred to as the ratio of "adjusted tangible stockholders' equity to adjusted tangible assets." The Company calculates tangible book value by dividing its tangible stockholders' equity by the number of shares outstanding less any unallocated ESOP shares. To calculate its returns on average tangible assets and average tangible stockholders' equity, the Company adds the amortization of CDI, net of tax, back to net income and divides the adjusted net income by its average tangible assets and average tangible stockholders' equity, respectively. Average tangible stockholders' equity is calculated by subtracting average goodwill and average CDI from average stockholders' equity. Neither tangible stockholders' equity, adjusted tangible stockholders' equity, tangible assets, adjusted tangible assets, nor the related measures should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders' equity, total assets, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
