WESTBURY, N.Y.--()--New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:NYCB) (the “Company”) today reported net income of $110.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, down 4% from the $115.3 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net income available to common shareholders also declined 4% from the prior three-month period to $102.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share.

Commenting on the Company’s performance, President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph R. Ficalora stated, “The Company’s performance during the third quarter was impacted by several factors. Foremost amongst these was the sale of our mortgage banking business, including our mortgage servicing rights portfolio, which had an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $21 billion, to Freedom Mortgage Corporation. This transaction closed on September 29, 2017, and we expect to see the benefits, including lower expenses, beginning in the fourth quarter.

On July 28, 2017, we closed on the sale of our one-to-four family residential assets covered under our Loss Share Agreements with the FDIC to an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. In connection with this transaction, we received cash proceeds of $1.9 billion, generating excess liquidity which will be redeployed into higher-yielding assets going forward.

Combined, these two transactions generated a pre-tax gain of $82.0 million and were accretive to capital. As we stated at the time of announcement, these transactions are consistent with our overall strategic objectives and allow us to focus on our core business model, including growth through acquisitions.

In the third quarter, we recorded a provision expense for losses on non-covered loans of $44.6 million related to taxi medallion loans. Our taxi medallion-related portfolio now stands at $99.1 million or a very manageable 0.3% of total loans. Aside from the taxi medallion portfolio, the asset quality metrics in our core multi-family and commercial real estate portfolios remain strong. In fact, excluding the medallion-related charge-offs, the Company would have reported net recoveries this quarter.

Also, a positive trend emerged this quarter. Our held-for-investment loan originations rose 24% from the previous quarter, reflecting improved market conditions and increased demand. While some of this increase was offset by prepayments, we did enjoy modest loan growth during the quarter, after nearly three years of not growing the balance sheet. Given our strong pipeline, we expect this positive trend to continue in the quarters ahead.”

Board of Directors Declares $0.17 per Common Share Dividend Payable on November 21, 2017

Reflecting our earnings and our capital position, the Board of Directors last night declared a quarterly cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.17 per share. The dividend is payable on November 21, 2017 to common shareholders of record as of November 7, 2017, and represents a dividend yield of 5.3% based on yesterday’s closing price.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

Total assets at the end of the third quarter were $48.5 billion, up incrementally from the end of the second quarter but down modestly from December 31, 2016. Total deposits of $28.9 billion were relatively unchanged compared to the prior-quarter and year-end 2016 balances.

For the four quarters ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s total consolidated assets averaged $48.6 billion, below the current SIFI threshold of $50.0 billion.

Loans

Covered Loans

Reflecting the previously announced termination of our Loss Share Agreements (LSA) with the FDIC and subsequent sale of our one-to-four family residential mortgage-related assets covered under the LSA, covered loans were zero at September 30, 2017. On July 28, 2017 the Company completed the sale of its covered loans to an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. In connection with the closing, the Company received proceeds of $1.9 billion, which were invested in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2017.

Non-Covered Loans Held for Investment

Total non-covered loans held for investment were $37.5 billion, up 0.7% and 0.3%, respectively, from June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. On a sequential basis, total non-covered mortgage loans held for investment increased $309.3 million, or 1% (3.5% annualized) to $35.5 billion, including multi-family loan growth of 1.1% (4.3% annualized). 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. The growth in loan originations during the current third quarter reflects improved market conditions and increased demand. The Company continues to originate multi-family and CRE loans which adhere to its conservative underwriting standards.

Non-Covered Loans Originated for Sale

Total loans originated for sale were $501.8 million, down 11% on a sequential basis. The decline was attributable to the Company’s decision to exit the wholesale residential mortgage business, as well as a higher level of mortgage interest rates. The sale of the mortgage banking business was announced on June 27, 2017 and closed on September 29, 2017.

Pipeline

The Company has approximately $2.1 billion of loans in its current pipeline, including $1.5 billion of multi-family loans.

Funding Sources

Deposits

Total deposits of $28.9 billion were unchanged compared to both the trailing quarter-end and from the prior year-end. However, the mix of deposits shifted during the third quarter as interest-bearing checking and money market accounts and savings accounts declined 4% and 3%, respectively, while certificates of deposit and non-interest-bearing accounts rose 7% and 2%, respectively.

Borrowed Funds

The Company’s borrowed funds totaled $12.4 billion at the end of the current third quarter, unchanged from the end of the second quarter. Borrowed funds declined 10% from year-end 2016, due entirely to a 10% decrease in wholesale borrowings to $12.0 billion.

Stockholders’ Equity

Total stockholders’ equity rose 10%, to $6.8 billion, at the current third-quarter end from the year-end 2016 balance and was relatively unchanged from the June 30, 2017 balance. The year-to-date increase is due mainly to the $502.8 million preferred stock offering completed in March of this year.

Common stockholders’ equity represented 12.91% of total assets at September 30, 2017 compared to 12.89% at June 30, 2017. Book value per common share was $12.79 at September 30, 2017 compared to $12.74 at June 30, 2017.

Excluding goodwill of $2.4 billion, tangible common stockholders’ equity rose 0.7% to $3.8 billion, representing 8.30% of tangible assets, compared to 8.27% at June 30, 2017. Tangible book value per common share was $7.81 at the end of the current third quarter compared to $7.76 at June 30, 2017. (2)

In addition, all regulatory capital ratios for the Company and its two subsidiary banks continued to exceed the regulatory requirements for “Well Capitalized” classification.

Asset Quality

The following discussion pertains only to the Company's portfolio of non-covered loans held for investment (excluding purchased credit-impaired, or “PCI,” loans) and non-covered repossessed assets.

Non-performing non-covered assets declined 7% to $84.7 million, or 0.17%, of total non-covered assets at the end of the current third quarter as compared to $91.6 million, or 0.20%, of total non-covered assets at June 30, 2017. Non-performing non-covered loans decreased 16% to $69.0 million, or 0.18%, of total non-covered loans at the end of the current third quarter as compared to $82.0 million, or 0.22%, of total non-covered loans at June 30, 2017.

During the quarter, non-accrual non-covered mortgage loans declined 22% to $24.3 million, while other non-accrual non-covered loans, which primarily consisted of taxi medallion loans, decreased 12% to $44.7 million. These improvements were partially offset by a 64% increase, to $15.8 million, in non-covered repossessed assets.

Net charge-offs for the current third quarter rose to $40.4 million, or 0.11%, of average loans compared to $11.4 million, or 0.03%, of average loans in the second quarter of 2017. The increase was due to charge-offs on the taxi medallion-related loan portfolio. Taxi medallion loans accounted for $40.6 million of this quarter’s charge-offs compared to $11.3 million in the trailing quarter. Excluding these charge-offs, the Company would have recorded net recoveries during the quarter. At September 30, 2017, the Company’s total taxi medallion-related exposure was $105.6 million.

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017

The Company reported net income of $110.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, down 4% from the $115.3 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Net income available to common shareholders also declined 4% from the prior three-month period to $102.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2017 declined 4% sequentially and 13% year-over-year to $276.3 million, due to higher interest expenses, resulting from an increase in our cost of funds and lower interest income. The lower level of interest income during the quarter was due to the sale of our covered loan portfolio, which closed at the end of July and resulted in excess liquidity which was invested at lower yields. This was partially offset by modest loan growth along with stable loan yields.

Net Interest Margin

The Company’s net interest margin declined 12 basis points sequentially and 38 basis points from the year-ago quarter to 2.53% in the current third quarter. Excluding the 16-basis point contribution from prepayment income in the current quarter, the net interest margin would have declined 14 basis points to 2.37% from the prior quarter. (See table on page 14).

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company reported a $44.6 million provision for losses on non-covered loans in the current third quarter compared to $11.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. The elevated provision during the quarter was related to the aforementioned increase in charge-offs in our taxi medallion loan portfolio.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income totaled $108.9 million, up 116% from the trailing quarter level and 168% from the year-earlier amount. The linked quarter and year-over-year improvements were driven by the $82.0 million gain on sale of our covered loan portfolio and mortgage banking operations, both of which closed during the third quarter.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense totaled $162.2 million in the current third quarter, down 1% from the trailing-quarter level and up modestly from the year-earlier quarter. Merger-related expenses were $2.2 million in the year-earlier period; there were no comparable expenses in the third quarter of 2017. Our efficiency ratio improved to 42.1% in the current third quarter compared to 48.4% in the trailing quarter. This was mainly due to the gain on the sale of our covered loans and mortgage banking operations and, to a lesser extent, lower operating expenses.

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, 2017, June 30, 2017, and September 30, 2016 and the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

Adjusted Net Interest Margin (non-GAAP) 2.37% 2.51% 2.71% -14 bp -34 bp
 

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.
