FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Certain statements contained in this Form 8-K may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “plan,” “forecast,” “intend,” “goal,” “target,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements that are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, the effect of economic and market conditions including industry volumes and margins; the level and volatility of interest rates; the Company’s hedging strategies, hedge effectiveness and asset and liability management; the accuracy of subjective estimates used in determining the fair value of financial assets of Indymac; the credit risks with respect to our loans and other financial assets; the actions undertaken by both current and potential new competitors; the availability of funds from Indymac’s lenders and from loan sales and securitizations to fund mortgage loan originations and portfolio investments; the execution of Indymac’s growth plans and ability to gain market share in a significant market transition; the impact of disruptions triggered by natural disasters; the impact of current, pending or future legislation, regulations or litigation; and other risk factors described in the reports that Indymac files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and its reports on Form 8-K.
 
While all of the above items are important, the highlighted items represent those that, in management’s view, merit increased focus given current conditions.
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
HIGHLIGHTS
 
The following highlights the Company’s consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The 2005 data has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the stock option expenses under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). The 2006 data reflects the Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 158, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (“SFAS No. 158”), on December 31, 2006. SFAS No. 158 requires (a) recognition of the funded status (measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation) of a benefit plan as an asset or liability in the employer’s statement of financial position, (b) measurement of the funded status as of the employer’s fiscal year-end with limited exceptions, and (c) recognition of changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. As a result, the Company recorded in its consolidated balance sheet an increase in pension and other postretirement liability of $10.1 million, deferred taxes of $3.9 million and accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) of $6.2 million.
 
References to “Indymac Bancorp” or the “Parent Company” refer to the parent company, IndyMac Bancorp, Inc., alone, while references to “Indymac,” the “Company,” or “we” refer to the parent company and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “Indymac Bank” or the “Bank” refer to our subsidiary IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

(2) Net earnings for the period divided by weighted average basic shares outstanding for the period.
 
(3) Net earnings for the period divided by weighted average dilutive shares outstanding for the period.
 
(4) Includes newly originated commitments on construction loans.
 
(5) Our market share is calculated based on our total loan production, both purchased (correspondent and conduit) and originated (retail and wholesale), in all channels (the numerator) divided by the Mortgage Bankers Association (“MBA”) January 8, 2007 Mortgage Finance Long-Term Forecast estimate of the overall mortgage market (the denominator). As we review industry publications such as National Mortgage News, we have confirmed that our calculation is consistent with its methodologies for reporting market share of Indymac and our mortgage banking peers. It is important to note that these industry calculations cause purchased mortgages to be counted more than once, i.e., first when they are originated and again by the purchasers (through correspondent and conduit channels) of the mortgages. Therefore, our market share calculation may not be mathematically precise, but it is consistent with industry calculations, which provide investors with a good view of our relative standing compared to the other top mortgage lending peers.

SUMMARY OF OVERALL RESULTS
 
Three Months ended December 31, 2006
 
The Company recorded net earnings of $72.2 million, or $0.97 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2006. This represented an increase of 3% and a decrease of 8% in net earnings and earnings per share, respectively, compared with net earnings of $70.4 million, or $1.06 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2005. The earnings for the fourth quarter of 2005 were retrospectively adjusted to reflect the stock option expenses due to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Weighted-average diluted shares outstanding increased to $74.4 million shares for the fourth quarter of 2006 from $66.7 million shares a year ago, mainly due to the issuance of common stock through the Direct Stock Purchase Plan and exercise of common stock options and warrants. Return on equity was 15% for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared with 19% for the fourth quarter of 2005.
 
Net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2006 were $319.5 million, reflecting an increase of 14% over the fourth quarter of 2005. Key drivers of this growth included the following:
 
1) Growth in average interest earning assets of 38% from $21.6 billion during the quarter ended December 31, 2005 to $29.9 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, leading to an increase in net interest income of 21% to $132.6 million. However, Indymac’s net interest margin declined to 1.76% in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to 2.01% in the fourth quarter of 2005 as we continued to experience the negative impact from the yield curve inversion and an increase in our thrift funding cost due to the maturity of

lower rate fixed-rate liability. The increase in average interest earning assets primarily resulted from growth in production, increased retention of securities and loans in our held for investment portfolio, offset by the sale of loans.
 
2) Growth in our mortgage production of 44% over the fourth quarter of 2005 to an all-time record of $25.9 billion, representing market share of 4.51% based on the industry volume published by the MBA on January 8, 2007. The increase in production led to an increase in loans sold to $23.4 billion, or 90% of mortgage loans produced in the fourth quarter of 2006, and consequently to an increase in gain on sale of loans, a key component of net revenue. This increase in loans sold mitigated the year-over-year decline in the revenue margin on sales. The MBR margin on loans sold was 0.91% in the fourth quarter of 2006, which was down from 1.10% in the fourth quarter of 2005, and 1.03% in the third quarter of 2006. The decline in MBR margin is due to a decline in higher margin pay option ARM volume and due to a higher mix of lower margin conduit and correspondent channel volume.
 
3) An increase in credit costs related to the loan loss provision, secondary market reserve, and marking-to-market delinquent loans held-for-sale and residuals and non-investment grade securities.
 
  •  Provision for loan loss increased from $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2005 to $9.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2006. The increase is a direct result of increased delinquencies in our portfolio. Non-performing assets increased during the quarter to 0.63% of total assets at December 31, 2006 compared to 0.34% of total assets at December 31, 2005. The allowance for loan losses currently represents 2.0 times annualized net charge-offs, down from 7.2 times at December 31, 2005, as annualized net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2006 increased to 0.31% of average loans held for investment from 0.10% during the fourth quarter of 2005.
 
  •  Net (loss) gain on mortgage-backed securities decreased from a gain of $5.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 to a loss of $4.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2006. The decrease was primarily due to higher unrealized losses on AAA-rated and agency interest-only and residual securities of $10.3 million and increased impairment on mainly residual securities of $4.5 million, partially offset by an increase in unrealized gain on prepayment penalty securities of $2.5 million. The unrealized losses and impairment mainly resulted from higher loss assumptions based on our recent credit experience and projected credit performance in certain HELOC residual securities in our thrift segment. In addition, a change in prepayment modeling on certain residual and non-investment grade securities resulted in an impairment of $5.3 million.
 
4) Service fee income of $22.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 grew 18% over the fourth quarter of 2005 mainly driven by a 65% increase in the principal amount of mortgage loans serviced for others to $139.8 billion at December 31, 2006.
 
Operating expenses of $210.8 million also reflected a 29% increase from the fourth quarter of 2005, consistent with the growth in our operations and infrastructure investments to execute on our strategy to increase production and revenue. During 2006, we opened three new regional centers, which increased our total regional centers to 16 at December 31, 2006. In addition, average full-time equivalent employees (“FTE”) increased 26% to 8,477 for the fourth quarter of 2006.
 
The effective tax rate on earnings for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 decreased to 39.1% from the 39.5% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. The decline was due to a lower blended state tax rate as the Company further expanded geographically into states with lower tax rates. The cumulative effect of the decline for the year and the effect of the decline on the net deferred tax liability further reduced the effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2006 to 33.3% from the 39.7% for the fourth quarter of 2005.
 
Year ended December 31, 2006
 
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company’s net earnings were $342.9 million, or $4.82 per share, an all-time record. This represents an increase of 17% from $293.1 million, or $4.43 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2005, while the industry volumes were down by 17%. The earnings for the year ended December 31,

2005 were also retrospectively adjusted to reflect stock option expenses resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). Return on equity was 19% for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared with 21% for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Net revenues of $1.3 billion for 2006 reflect an increase of 22% over 2005. Key drivers of this growth included the following:
 
1) Growth in average interest earning assets of 32% from $19.6 billion in 2005 to $26.0 billion in 2006, leading to an increase in net interest income of 24% to $526.7 million. The increase is primarily driven by the growth in production as mentioned above. Net interest margin declined from 2.16% to 2.02% during a period in which the Federal Reserve increased short-term interest rates by 100 basis points. The yield curve inversion and increase in thrift segment funding costs mentioned above contributed to the decline. This decline somewhat mitigated the positive impact from the growth in average interest earning assets.
 
2) Growth in mortgage production of 48% in 2006 over 2005 to $90.0 billion, led to a 51% increase in loans sold to $79.0 billion. Our market share increased from 2.01% in 2005 to 3.59% in 2006. Leading this growth were our Financial Freedom and conduit channels with increases in production of 71% and 90%, respectively. This volume growth mitigated a decline in the MBR margin on loans sold, resulting from the previously mentioned shift in product and channel mix. Increased credit costs also impacted the MBR margin, albeit to a significantly lesser effect. The MBR margin on loans sold was 1.06% in 2006, down from 1.36% in 2005.
 
3) Provision for loan loss increased from $10.0 million for 2005 to $20.0 million for 2006 due to a considerable increase in our non-performing assets and related charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses currently represents 4.9 times net charge-offs, down from 7.2 times at December 31, 2005 as net charge-offs for 2006 increased 4 basis points to 0.14% of average loans held for investment.
 
4) Service fee income of $101.3 million in 2006 grew 129% over 2005 driven by the increase in the principal balance of loans serviced for others combined with solid hedging performance and slowing prepayments attributable to higher mortgage rates.
 
Operating expenses of $789.0 million reflected an increase of 28%, consistent with our strategy for growth as mentioned above. Accordingly, average FTE increased 27% from 6,240 to 7,935 during the year supporting this growth. The effective tax rate on earnings for the year ended December 31, 2006 decreased to 39.1% from the 39.5% for the year ended December 31, 2005. The decline was due to a lower blended state tax rate as mentioned earlier. The effect of the decline on the net deferred tax liability further reduced the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2006 to 38.2%.
 
SUMMARY OF BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS
 
The Company conducts business substantially through IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. via two primary operating segments, the mortgage banking and the thrift segments. These segments provide clear transparency to the two primary activities in our hybrid model: mortgage banking with high asset turn and high returns on equity, and thrift investing characterized by lower but more consistent returns on equity. Please refer to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005 10-K”), page 23, for further discussions of the divisions within the mortgage banking and thrift segments.

Total capital deployed in our operating business segments increased 44% to $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006 and earned a 22% return on equity before the impact of corporate overhead. Net of corporate overhead and including the excess undeployed capital, Indymac’s average capital of $2.0 billion earned a 15% return on equity for the fourth quarter of 2006.
 
We deployed 34% of our capital, or $668.3 million, into our mortgage production divisions in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 51% over the fourth quarter of 2005. Mortgage production earnings grew 17%; however the return on equity declined from 54% to 42% reflecting the narrower mortgage banking revenue margins. The wholesale and correspondent divisions reflected stronger production year-over-year, but a reduction in net income as margins were lower in these two business lines year-over-year. Our conduit division had a strong quarter with earnings growth of 56% mainly attributable to growth in production of 78%, while return on equity of 29% remained flat. Our reverse mortgage division continued to demonstrate strong returns with earnings and production growth of 123% and 51%, respectively.
 
We deployed 22% of our capital, or $430.3 million, into the MSRs and other retained assets division, up from 15% one year ago. This division’s ROE returned to a more normal level, declining from 33% in the fourth quarter of 2005 to 17% in the fourth quarter of 2006. We target our pricing and hedging strategies to earn expected ROE of 18% to 23% for this segment. Given the volatility in this segment, returns in a quarter may substantially exceed or fall below the targeted level.
 
We deployed 36% of our capital, or $706.5 million, to the thrift segment, a 21% increase over last year. Thrift’s return on equity declined from 22% to 14% over the same period. Net interest margin declined from 1.84% to 1.40%. Factors contributing to the decline included increased non-performing loans, higher cost of funds, higher cost of hedging, and higher premium amortization. As a result, net interest income remained flat in spite of 28% increase in average interest earning assets. Additionally, provision for loan losses and write-downs on HELOC residual securities increased substantially due to worsening credit quality of our portfolio and the collateral supporting the residual securities.

Accounting Methodology for Reporting Segment Financial Results
 
The profitability of each operating channel is measured on a fully-leveraged basis after allocating capital based on regulatory risk-based capital rules. The Company uses a fund transfer pricing (“FTP”) system to allocate interest expense to the operating channels. Each operating channel is allocated funding with maturities and interest rates matched with the expected lives and repricing frequencies of the channel’s assets. The difference between these allocations and the Company’s actual net interest income and capital levels resulting from centralized management of funding costs is reported in the Treasury unit and Corporate Overhead, respectively. Trust preferred securities are allocated to the operating channels which results in higher interest expense at the operating channel level but reduces their capital charge. This is more reflective of our use of trust preferred securities as a component of capital.
 
The mortgage production divisions are credited with gain on sale of loans based on the actual amount realized for loans sold in the period for the divisions. Loans are occasionally transferred (“sold”) from the production divisions to the thrift divisions at a price based on the estimated fair value, which typically resulted in a premium. The premium for the loans is recorded as a gain in the production divisions and a premium on the asset in the thrift divisions and eliminated in consolidation. In subsequent periods, this premium is amortized as part of the thrift divisions’ net interest margin and the amortization is reversed in Eliminations.
 
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 91, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases” (“SFAS No. 91”), certain fees and related incremental direct costs associated with originating loans are required to be deferred when incurred. SFAS No. 91 fees and expenses are deferred at production and subsequently recognized at sale. This is reflected as a reclassification reducing operating expenses and loan fees with the net deferral reported as a component of the gain on sale. The deferral of direct origination costs is shown separately as a contra to the gross operating expenses in the detail segment tables on pages 9 to 12 to enable the computation of gross cost per funded loan.
 
The Company hedges the MSRs to protect their economic value. The results in the business segment tables above reflect the economic fair value of MSRs. Prior to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” (“SFAS No. 156”) on January 1, 2006, the economic fair value may have varied from the generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) value due to the lower of cost or market limitations of GAAP. Differences between the economic value and the GAAP value were eliminated in consolidation. Also during the second quarter of 2006, the Company revised its capital allocation on MSRs to conform to updated regulatory capital guidelines. Prior period segment data was revised accordingly.
 
The Company’s corporate overhead costs such as corporate salaries and related expenses, and non-recurring corporate items are not allocated to the operating channels. Also, for purposes of calculating average interest-earning assets, the allowance for loan losses is excluded.
 
PRODUCT PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS
 
As part of our process of measuring results and holding managers responsible for specific targets, we evaluate profitability at the product level in addition to our segment results. We currently have four product groups: standard consumer home loans held for sale, specialty consumer home loans held for sale and/or investment, home loans and related investment, and specialty commercial loans held for investment. Please refer to the Company’s 2005 10-K, pages 31 to 37, for further discussion on the products included within each product group.

LOAN PRODUCTION
 
The Company’s total mortgage production of $25.9 billion for the fourth quarter of 2006 reflects a record high, up 8% compared to the third quarter of 2006, and up 44% from the fourth quarter of 2005. However, the total pipeline on December 31, 2006, decreased 19% from September 30, 2006, to $11.8 billion, although up 13% from December 31, 2005. The production growth was accomplished through our continued drive to leverage our mortgage banking platform. The mortgage professionals group, including conduit, increased its volume by 47% over the fourth quarter of 2005, contributing 90% of our production growth. Total loan production, including subdivision construction, reached $26.3 billion for the fourth quarter of 2006, also a record for the Company. During 2006, we opened three new operations centers. We expect to continue our growth by expanding into new regions, hiring new salespeople, and rolling out new products.
 
On January 8, 2007, the MBA issued an estimate of the industry volume for 2006 of $2.5 trillion, which represents a 17% decline from 2005. The fourth quarter of 2006 estimate of $575 billion represents an 8% decrease from the third quarter of 2006, and a 20% decline from the fourth quarter of 2005. Based on this forecast, our market share is 4.51% this quarter, up from 3.83% in the third quarter of 2006 and 2.51% in the fourth quarter of 2005 in spite of overall industry volume decline.
 
Total mortgage production for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased 48% to $90.0 billion. Strong production from conduit and Financial Freedom, which increased 90% and 71%, respectively, contributed to this overall growth. The Company has also improved its retention activities with volume from servicing retention increasing 150% during the same period. As a result, Indymac’s market share increased from 2.01% in 2005 to 3.59% in 2006.
 
The following summarizes our loan production and pipeline by purpose, interest rate type, product type, S&P lifetime loss estimate, geographic distribution, and channels as of and for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and September 30, 2006:

(1) While Indymac production is evaluated using the S&P Levels model, the data are not audited or endorsed by S&P. S&P evaluated production excludes second liens, HELOC, reverse mortgages, and construction loans. In the third quarter of 2006, Indymac adopted version 5.7 of the S&P Levels model. The numbers for the fourth quarter of 2005 have been restated utilizing the new model.
 
Total average lifetime loss rate for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased 10 basis points from 0.74% for the fourth quarter of 2005 to 0.84%, driven by an increase in loans with subordinate financing and subprime loans originated during the period. The loss estimates are shown to describe the relative level of credit risk in our loan production at time of origination. Because the Company routinely sells the vast majority of loans produced, these estimates do not reflect the amount of credit risk retained by the Company. Total average lifetime loss rate for the portion of production that is ultimately retained by Indymac actually declined from 0.72% for the fourth quarter of 2005 to 0.57% for the fourth quarter of 2006.

The MBR margin is calculated using mortgage banking revenue divided by total loans sold. The mortgage banking revenue includes total consolidated gain on sale of loans company-wide and the net interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale by mortgage banking production divisions. While most of the gain on sale of loans results from the loan sale activities in our mortgage banking segment, we do occasionally sell loans held by our thrift segment, primarily lot loans and home equity products. The gain on sale recognized in the thrift segment is included in the MBR margin calculation.
 
Included in the gain on sale of loans in the second quarter of 2006 were $9.7 million of losses related to the establishment of a reserve for fraud losses on certain lot loans. The Company discovered that 45 lot loans related to two developments in Michigan and Florida were the subject of criminal fraud on the part of the developers, brokers, appraisers and closing agents. These loans had outstanding principal balances of approximately $13.9 million before the reserve for fraud losses. At December 31, 2006, these loans are non-accrual and have an aggregate book value of $5.3 million. We have since performed a full portfolio review and implemented a series of product guideline changes, operational changes and fraud prevention measures to mitigate future occurrences of this kind. We believe there are no further incidences of fraud in its existing book of lot loans of similar size or scope.

The Company hedges the interest rate risk inherent in its pipeline of mortgage loans held for sale to protect its margin on sale of loans. Indymac focuses on trying to maintain stable profit margins with an emphasis on forecasting expected fallout to more precisely estimate our required hedge coverage ratio and optimize hedge costs. By closely monitoring key factors, such as product type, origination channels, progress or “status” of transactions, as well as changes in market interest rates since Indymac committed a rate to the borrower (“rate lock commitments”), the Company seeks to quantify the optional component of each rate lock, and in turn, the aggregate rate lock pipeline. By accurately evaluating these factors, the Company has been able to minimize the purchase of options and also stabilize gain on sale margins over different rate environments.
 
In addition to mortgage loans held for sale, the hedging activities also include rate lock commitments. Rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that are intended to be sold are considered to be derivatives pursuant to SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” (“SFAS No. 133”). The rate lock commitments are initially valued at zero and continue to be adjusted for changes in value resulting from changes in market interest rates, pursuant to the Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments.” The Company hedges the risk of changes in fair value of rate lock commitments by selling forward contracts on securities of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, Euro Dollar futures and other hedge instruments to manage this risk. These forward and futures contracts are also accounted for as derivatives and recorded at fair value.

We maintain multiple channels for loan dispositions to achieve sustainable liquidity and develop a deep and diverse investor base. Also, through multiple channels, Indymac endeavors to consistently sell investment and non-investment grade bonds, AAA-rated and agency interest-only securities, and whole loans for cash.
 
In conjunction with the sale of mortgage loans, the Company generally retains certain assets. The primary assets retained include MSRs and, to a lesser degree, AAA-rated and agency interest-only securities, AAA-rated principal-only securities, prepayment penalty securities, investment and non-investment grade securities, and residual securities. The allocated cost of the retained assets at the time of sale is recorded as an asset with an offsetting increase to the gain on sale of loans (or a reduction in the cost basis of the loans sold). The calculation of the $165.0 million in gain on sale of loans earned during the three months ended December 31, 2006 included the retention of $318.9 million in MSRs and $87.1 million of other retained assets. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, assets previously retained generated cash flows of $187.3 million. More information on the valuation assumptions related to the Company’s retained assets can be found at page 34, under the heading “Valuation of MSRs, Interest-Only, Prepayment Penalty, and Residual Securities.”

The fair value of MSRs is determined using discounted cash flow techniques benchmarked against third party opinions of value. Estimates of fair value involve several assumptions, including assumptions about future prepayment rates, market expectations of future interest rates and discount rates. Prepayment rates are projected using a prepayment model developed by a third party vendor and calibrated for the Company’s collateral. The model considers key factors, such as refinance incentive, housing turnover, seasonality and aging of the pool of loans. Prepayment speeds incorporate expectations of future rates implied by the market forward LIBOR/swap curve, as well as collateral specific current coupon information. Refer to “Valuation of MSRs, Interest-Only, Prepayment Penalty, and Residual Securities” on page 34 for further detail on the valuation assumptions.

Effective January 1, 2006, SFAS No. 156 allowed us to elect to measure MSRs using the fair value method instead of the amortization method. Therefore, change in value due to run-off of the portfolio is recorded as valuation adjustment instead of the amortization for periods beginning in 2006.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, we had a net loss on MSRs, AAA-rated and agency interest-only securities, and related hedges of $2.8 million compared to a net gain of $5.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. However, we recorded a net gain of $3.1 million and a net loss of $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
OTHER RETAINED ASSETS
 
The carrying value of AAA-rated and agency interest-only, principal-only, prepayment penalty, residual and non-investment grade securities is evaluated by discounting estimated net future cash flows. For these securities, estimated net future cash flows are primarily based on assumptions related to prepayment speeds, in addition to expected credit loss assumptions on the residual securities. The models used for estimation are periodically tested against historical prepayment speeds and our valuations are benchmarked to external sources, where available. We also may retain certain other investment grade securities from our securitizations and to a lesser extent purchase them from third parties to serve as hedges for our AAA-rated and agency interest-only securities.

The lifetime prepayment speeds represent the annual constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) estimated for the remaining life of the collateral supporting the asset. For MSRs and AAA-rated and agency interest-only securities, prepayment rates are projected using a prepayment model developed by a third party vendor and calibrated for the Company’s collateral. The model considers key factors, such as refinance incentive, housing turnover, seasonality and aging of the pool of loans. Prepayment speeds incorporate expectations of future rates implied by the market forward LIBOR/swap curve, as well as collateral specific current coupon information.
 
The weighted-average multiple for MSRs, AAA-rated and agency interest-only securities and residual securities represent the book value divided by the product of collateral balance and servicing fee/interest strip. While the weighted-average life of such assets is a function of the undiscounted cash flows, the multiple is a function of the discounted cash flows. With regard to AAA-rated and agency interest-only securities, the marketplace frequently uses calculated multiples to assess the overall impact valuation assumptions have on value. Collateral type, coupon, loan age and the size of the interest strip must be considered when comparing these multiples. The mix of collateral types supporting servicing-related assets is primarily non-conforming/conventional, which may make the Company’s MSR multiples incomparable to peer multiples whose product mix is substantially different.
 
Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2006, the calculation of remaining cumulative loss rate is changed to using remaining lifetime loss projection divided by current collateral balance. All prior periods have been adjusted to reflect such change.
 
The prepayment penalty securities are used as hedges of MSRs. The value of prepayment penalty securities generally rises in a declining rate environment due to higher prepayment activities, which typically mitigates a decline in MSR value attendant with faster prepayments. As of December 31, 2006, as a percentage of the underlying collateral, the value of prepayment penalty securities was 48 basis points, down from 51 basis points at September 30, 2006.
 
HEDGING INTEREST RATE RISK ON SERVICING-RELATED ASSETS
 
With respect to the investment in servicing-related assets (AAA-rated and agency interest-only securities, non-investment grade residual securities and MSRs), the Company is exposed to interest rate risk. The MSRs and Other Retained Assets division is responsible for the management of interest rate and prepayment risks in the servicing-related assets, subject to policies and procedures established by, and oversight from, our management-level Interest Rate Risk Committee (“IRRC”), Variable Cash Flow Instruments Committee (“VCI”), Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) group, and our Board of Directors-level ERM Committee.
 
The objective of our hedging strategy is to maintain a stable range of returns in all interest rate environments and not to speculate on interest rates. As such, we manage the comprehensive interest rate risk of our servicing-related assets using financial instruments. Historically, we have hedged servicing-related assets using a variety of derivative instruments and on-balance sheet securities. As there are no hedge instruments that would be perfectly correlated with these hedged assets, we use a mix of the instruments designed to correlate well with the hedged servicing assets.
 
We use a value-at-risk (“VAR”) measure to monitor our interest rate risk on our assets. The measure incorporates a range of market factors that can impact the value of these assets, and supplements other risk measures such as Duration Gap and stress testing. VAR estimates the exposure to loss over a specified period at a specified confidence level. We have chosen a historical approach that uses 500 days of market conditions along with current portfolio data to estimate the potential one-day loss at a 95% confidence level. This means that actual losses are estimated to exceed the VAR measure about five times every 100 days.
 
In modeling of the VAR, we have made a number of assumptions and approximations. As there is no standardized methodology for estimating VAR, different assumptions and approximations could result in materially different VAR estimates.
 
As of December 31, 2006, the portfolio of MSRs and interest-only securities was valued at $1.8 billion. The average VAR (after the effect of hedging transactions) for the quarter was $2.9 million, or 16 bps of the recorded

value, down from 17 bps for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. During the quarter, the VAR measure ranged from $2.3 million to $3.7 million. We also performed the VAR analysis on the mortgage-backed securities portfolio. See page 37 for additional discussion.
 
A key performance measure for the MSRs and Other Retained Assets division is the return on equity of the deployed capital. The segment as a whole reported an ROE of 17% and 33%, for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The tables below provide a detail by major asset class of the ROE for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

SFR MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT
 
The Company’s portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment is comprised primarily of SFR mortgage loans, with a concentration in adjustable-rate and intermediate term fixed-rate mortgage loans to mitigate interest rate risk. The Company plans to grow its thrift portfolio opportunistically depending on external market demand, always seeking the best execution of the mortgage loans produced. During the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company added $0.7 billion of mortgage loans to the held for investment portfolio in accordance with this strategy.

(2) Average net duration measures the expected change in the value of a financial instrument in response to changes in interest rates, taking into consideration the impact of the related hedges. The negative net duration implies an increase in value as rates rise while the positive net duration implies a decrease in value.
 
(3) FICO scores are the result of a credit scoring system developed by Fair Isaacs and Co. and are generally used by lenders to evaluate a borrower’s credit history. FICO scores of 700 or higher are generally considered in the mortgage industry to be very high quality borrowers with low risk of default, but in general, the secondary market will consider FICO scores of 620 or higher to be prime.
 
(4) Current average loan-to-value ratio is estimated based on the Office of the Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight House Price Index Metropolitan Statistical Area data on a loan level basis.

Included in our loans held for investment portfolio at December 31, 2006 were $1.2 billion in pay option ARM loans, or 18% of the portfolio, as compared to $1.3 billion, or 25% of the portfolio, at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, approximately 83% (based on loan count) of our pay option ARM loans had negatively amortized, resulting in an increase of $26.8 million to their original loan balance. This is an increase from 80% and 56% at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The net increase in unpaid principal balance due to negative amortization was $6.1 million and $21.4 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2006, respectively, which approximated the deferred interest recognized for the periods. The original weighted average combined loan-to-value (“CLTV”) on our pay option ARM loans was 76%, while the estimated current LTV is 64%, calculated based on the Office of the Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight House Price Index Metropolitan Statistical Areas data on a loan level basis. The decline in the current loan-to-value was due to estimated appreciation of the underlying property value. The original weighted average FICO score on our pay option ARM loans was 708 at December 31, 2006, slightly lower than the average FICO for the entire SFR mortgage loans held for investment portfolio.
 
CONSUMER CONSTRUCTION
 
Indymac’s consumer construction division provides construction financing for individual consumers who want to build a new primary residence or second home. The primary product is a construction-to-permanent residential mortgage loan. This product typically provides financing for a construction term from 6 to 12 months and automatically converts to a permanent mortgage loan at the end of construction. The end result is a product that represents a hybrid activity between our portfolio lending activities and mortgage banking activities. The Company earns net interest income on these loans during the construction phase. When the loan converts to permanent status, the interest rate may be adjusted based on the underlying permanent note. As of December 31, 2006, based on the underlying note agreements, 69% of the construction loans will be converted to adjustable-rate permanent loans, 21% to intermediate term fixed-rate loans, and 10% to fixed-rate loans. The consumer construction division also provides financing to builders who are building single-family residences without a guaranteed sale at inception of project, or on a speculative basis. The single-spec portfolio is included in the builder construction portfolio on the balance sheet. See additional discussion in the Builder Construction section.
 
Total new consumer construction commitments decreased 14% as compared to the third quarter of 2006 and decreased 16% as compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 to $785.1 million. This decline reflects the Bank’s effort to tighten controls in light of current market conditions and a general slow down of the market. About 71% of new commitments are generated through mortgage broker customers of the mortgage bank and the remaining 29% of new commitments are retail originations. Once each loan has converted to a permanent mortgage loan, the mortgage is classified as a mortgage loan held for sale and may be sold in the secondary market or acquired by our SFR mortgage loan portfolio. The amount of construction loans that were converted to permanent status was $462.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 2% over the third quarter of 2006 and an increase of 19% over the fourth quarter of 2005. Overall, the Company is one of the largest custom residential construction lenders in the nation. Consumer construction loans outstanding at December 31, 2006 increased 21% from December 31, 2005.

HOME EQUITY DIVISION
 
Indymac’s home equity division specializes in providing HELOC and closed-end second mortgages nationwide through Indymac’s wholesale and retail channels. We also purchase HELOC and closed-end second mortgages through our conduit channel. At December 31, 2006, our total HELOC servicing portfolio totaled $3.6 billion, an increase of approximately $1.5 billion from the portfolio size at December 31, 2005. The increase in the portfolio is primarily due to new HELOC commitments originated during the period of $3.9 billion. We plan to sell or securitize a majority of the loans in our HELOC portfolio and as a result, they are classified as held for sale on our balance sheet.
 
We produced $0.8 billion of new HELOC commitments through our mortgage banking segment and internal channels during the fourth quarter of 2006, and sold $753.6 million of HELOC loans, realizing $6.2 million of gain on sale. During the same period in 2005, the amount of HELOC loans produced and sold were $0.7 billion and $98.9 million, respectively, with a total gain on sale of $0.9 million.

BUILDER CONSTRUCTION
 
Indymac’s homebuilder division provides land acquisition, development and construction financing to homebuilders for residential construction. Builder construction loans are typically adjustable-rate loans, indexed to the prime interest rate with terms ranging from 12 to 24 months. The Company earns net interest income on these loans. The homebuilder division has central operations in Pasadena, California with 17 satellite sales offices in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington, D.C. Our typical customer is a mid-size, professional homebuilder who builds between 200 and 2,000 homes per year. We do a limited amount of business with large private and public homebuilders, and have begun a small homebuilder program for homebuilders building five to 25 unit projects, and who typically build five to 100 homes per year.
 
During the fourth quarter of 2006, the homebuilder division entered into new commitments of $381.8 million, down 19%, or $89 million, from the third quarter of 2006 and down 16%, or $71 million, from the fourth quarter of

Table of Contents

2005. The decline in volume was mainly due to a slowing of new home projects as new home starts declined over the past several months. As a result of the near term decline in new home starts, the homebuilder division is being more selective about new commitments; and consequently its pipeline has reduced. Builder loans outstanding at December 31, 2006, including tract construction, single-spec, and land and other mortgage loans, totaled $1.4 billion, a $270 million, or 25%, increase compared to December 31, 2005 with the increase primarily resulting from advances under existing commitments. Total commitments at December 31, 2006 consisted of 87% of construction and land/model loans and 13% of single-spec loans.
 
At December 31, 2006, non-performing loans for the builder construction portfolio are at 0.98%. Although this has increased from 0.25% at September 30, 2006 and 0.04% at December 31, 2005, it is still considered low in comparison to the portfolio’s historical performance. Although this represents a low point for the portfolio, the current softening of the housing market makes the prospect of increased non-performing assets and future losses likely. Moreover, due to the size of certain credits in this heterogeneous portfolio, the deterioration of a single credit may significantly increase the builder construction and the Company non-performing ratios. We manage this credit risk by implementing strong underwriting guidelines and risk-based pricing. Our current weighted average loan-to-value ratio is 72%. Additionally, 98% of our builder construction loans are secured by corporate or personal guarantees of the builders as well as the underlying real estate.

WAREHOUSE LENDING DIVISION
 
Our warehouse lending division offers short-term lines of credit to approved correspondent sellers nationwide. The group functions as a financial intermediary for lenders, providing them with the financial capacity to fund loans and hold them on balance sheet until they are sold to approved investors. The warehouse lending operation relies mainly on the sale or liquidation of the mortgages as a source of repayment. Receivables under warehouse facilities are presented on our balance sheet as loan receivables. Terms of warehouse lines, including the commitment amount, are determined based upon the financial strength, historical performance and other qualifications of the borrower.

The net interest margin during the fourth quarter of 2006 was 1.76%, a decline from 2.01% for the fourth quarter of 2005 and 2.13% for the third quarter of 2006. Net interest margin was compressed as the Company experienced the negative impact from the inverted yield curve on loans held for sale. In addition, funding costs in our thrift segment were negatively impacted by the expiration of $1.5 billion of low fixed-rate liabilities and the resultant repricing to current rates.
 
The net interest margin during the year ended December 31, 2006 was 2.02%, a decline from 2.16% for the year ended December 31, 2005, primarily as a result of the factors above.

(1) Changes in volume are calculated by taking changes in average outstanding balances multiplied by the prior period’s rate.
 
(2) Changes in the rate are calculated by taking changes in the average interest rate multiplied by the prior period’s volume.
 
(3) Changes in rate/volume (“mix”) are calculated by taking changes in rates times the changes in volume.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
 
In addition to our hedging activities to mitigate the interest rate risk in our pipeline of mortgage loans held for sale, rate locks and our investment in servicing-related assets, we perform extensive, company-wide interest rate risk management. Our primary measurement tool used to evaluate interest rate risk over the comprehensive balance sheet is net portfolio value (“NPV”) analysis. The NPV analysis and duration gap estimate the exposure of the fair value of net assets attributable to shareholders’ equity to changes in interest rates.
 
The following sets forth the NPV and change in NPV that we estimate might result from a 100 basis point change in interest rates as of December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005:

Our NPV model has been built to focus on the Bank alone as the $0.8 billion of assets at the Parent Company and its non-bank subsidiaries have little interest rate risk exposure.
 
The increase in the net present value of equity from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006 is partly due to: (i) an increase in our balance sheet; (ii) an increase in retained earnings of Indymac Bank in the amount of $357.6 million; (iii) a capital contribution of $360.0 million from the Parent Company to Indymac Bank; and (iv) offset by a dividend payment of $178.1 million to the Parent Company. This analysis is based on instantaneous change in interest rates and does not reflect the impact of changes in hedging activities as interest rates change and changes in volumes and profits from our mortgage banking operations that would be expected to result from the interest rate environment.
 
In conjunction with the NPV analysis, we also estimate the net sensitivity of the fair value of our financial instruments to movements in interest rates using duration gap. This calculation is performed by estimating the change in dollar value due to an instantaneous parallel change in the interest rate curve. The resulting change in dollar value per one basis point change in interest rates is used to estimate the sensitivity of our portfolio. The dollar values per one basis point change are then aggregated to estimate the portfolio’s net sensitivity. To calculate duration gap, the net sensitivity is divided by the fair value of total interest-earning assets and expressed in months. A duration gap of zero implies that the change in value of assets from an instantaneous rate move will be accompanied by an equal and offsetting move in the value of debt and derivatives thus leaving the net fair value of equity unchanged.

The assumptions inherent in our interest rate shock models include expected valuation changes in an instantaneous and parallel interest rate shock, and assumptions as to the degree of correlation between the hedges and hedged assets and liabilities. These assumptions may not adequately reflect factors such as the spread-widening or spread-tightening risk among the changes in rates on Treasury, LIBOR/swap curve, mortgages, shape of the yield curve and volatility. In addition, the sensitivity analysis described in the prior paragraph is limited by the fact that it is performed at a particular point in time and does not incorporate other factors that would impact our financial performance in these scenarios, such as increases in income associated with the increase in production volume that could result from a decrease in interest rates. Consequently, the preceding estimates should not be viewed as a forecast, and it is reasonable to expect that actual results could vary significantly from the analyses discussed above.
 
At December 31, 2006, net duration gap for our mortgage banking and thrift segments was positive 1.5 month and negative 1.6 month, respectively, with the overall net duration gap of negative 0.4 month. Although our duration risk has been maintained at relatively low levels as indicated by our duration gap measures, fair value gains and losses will generally occur as market conditions change. We actively manage duration risk through asset selection by appropriate funding and hedging to within the duration limits approved by senior management and the Board of Directors.
 
The duration gap measures are estimated on a daily basis for the mortgage servicing rights and on a monthly basis for the assets in our thrift portfolio and pipeline.

At December 31, 2006, non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets was 0.63%, increasing from 0.34% at December 31, 2005. The non-performing loans increased $65.1 million and $33.5 million in loans held for investment and loans held for sale, respectively. As a result of the increased delinquencies in these portfolios, foreclosure activities rose during the period, leading to increased foreclosed assets at December 31, 2006 to $21.6 million. At December 31, 2006, the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans held for investment was 58%, down from 127% at December 31, 2005. The increase in non-performing loans held for investment is primarily due to the seasoning and the growth of the SFR mortgage loan portfolio. The increase in non-performing loans in the builder construction portfolio is mainly attributable to a loan of $9.0 million that was placed on non-accrual in the fourth quarter of 2006.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2006, net charge-offs increased to $7.6 million from $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. The increase is a direct result of loan delinquencies and non-performing loans trending up. Included in the charge-offs this quarter were $2.3 million of charge-offs related to the sale of non-performing loans.
 
The increase in non-performing loans held for sale is attributable to our growth in mortgage production and an increase in early payment defaults on certain products. A substantial number of these non-performing loans are covered by the early default provision in the purchase agreements and are subject to repurchase by the sellers.
 
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days past due. Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and foreclosed assets. We record the balance of our assets acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure at estimated net realizable value.
 
Our determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses and, correspondingly, the provision for loan losses, is based on management’s judgments and assumptions regarding various matters, including general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, loan demand, delinquency trends and prior loan loss experience. Management continually evaluates these assumptions to reflect its judgments regarding these economic conditions and various relevant factors impacting credit quality and inherent losses. In assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in its entirety, management reviews the performance in the portfolios of loans held for investment and the non-core portfolio of discontinued product lines, which consists of manufactured housing and home improvement loans. A component of the overall allowance for loan losses is not specifically allocated to the loan portfolios (“unallocated component”). The unallocated component reflects management’s assessment of various factors that create inherent imprecision in the methods used to determine the specific portfolio allocations. Those factors include, but are not limited to levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans, charge-offs and recoveries, volume and terms of the loans, effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards, other changes in lending policies, procedures, and practices, and national and local economic trends and conditions. As of December 31, 2006, the unallocated component of the total allowance for loan losses was $17.2 million, compared to $18.7 million at December 31, 2005.
 
While we consider the allowance for loan losses to be adequate based on information currently available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to changes in economic conditions, delinquency levels, foreclosure rates, or loss rates. The level of allowance for loan losses is also subject to review by our primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). The OTS may require the allowance for loan losses be increased based on its evaluation of the information available to it at the time of its examination of the Bank.
 
With respect to mortgage loans held for sale, pursuant to the applicable accounting rules, we do not provide an allowance for loan losses. Instead, a component for credit risk related to loans held for sale is embedded in the market valuation for these loans. Lower of cost or market valuation adjustments related to the credit risk on loans held for sale totaled $39.2 million at December 31, 2006, up from $10.2 million at December 31, 2005, primarily due to the lower of cost or market adjustments on the loans repurchased during 2006 and increased delinquencies in the portfolio.

SECONDARY MARKET RESERVE
 
We do not generally sell loans with recourse in our loan sale activities. However, we can be required to repurchase loans from investors when our loan sales contain individual loans that do not conform to the representations and warranties we made at the time of sale. We have made significant investments in our pre-production and post-production quality control processes to identify potential issues that could cause repurchases. We believe that these efforts have improved our production quality; however, possible increases in default rates due to an economic slowdown could cause the overall rate of repurchases to remain constant or even increase. Since 1993, the Company has repurchased a small number of loans from its securitization trusts. The increase in repurchase activity in recent years has been primarily a function of Indymac’s increased loan sale volume to GSEs and whole loan sales. As a percentage of total loans sold, repurchases have remained relatively flat at 21 basis points for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005. The following reflects the repurchase activities during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005:

The Company maintains a secondary market reserve for losses that arise in connection with loans that it may be required to repurchase from whole loan sales, sales to the GSEs, and securitizations. The reserve has two general components: reserves for repurchases arising from representation and warranty claims and reserves for repurchases arising from early payment defaults. Also included in the reserve was a $1.3 million charge provided in the third quarter of 2005 (reduction of gain on sale of loans) for potential investor claims from early payment defaults on loans that we previously sold and which were collateralized by properties in the areas affected by the Gulf Coast Hurricanes. This reserve was reversed to gain on sale in the second quarter of 2006.

(1) Loans sold — UPB outstanding represents current outstanding principal balances on loans sold after January 1, 2004, excluding HELOCs and reverse mortgages.
 
In the second quarter of 2006, we repurchased $22.8 million of closed-end second loans from an investor due to an early payment default provision. In connection with this repurchase, we recorded an additional $5.2 million of

provision. Our credit guidelines have subsequently been revised that will significantly reduce the origination of the lower credit quality closed-end second loans that gave rise to these repurchases. We relieved the reserve for $9.3 million through September 30, 2006, to establish discounts on these repurchased loans.
 
Reserve levels are a function of expected losses based on actual pending and expected claims and repurchase requests, historical experience, loan volume and loan sales distribution channels and the assessment of the probability of investor claims. While the ultimate amount of repurchases and claims is uncertain, management believes that the reserve is adequate. We will continue to evaluate the adequacy of our reserve and allocate a portion of our gain on sale proceeds to the reserve going forward. The entire balance of our secondary market reserve is included on the consolidated balance sheets as a component of other liabilities.

Our operating expenses increased 29% from $163.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 to $210.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The increase is attributable to the Company’s operational growth and geographic expansions to execute on its strategy to increase production and revenue. Since the fourth quarter of 2005, we opened three new regional operations centers and a number of sales offices for the mortgage banking group and increased our consumer bank network to 29 branches, resulting in higher salaries and related, premises, data processing and office related expenses. The Company’s average FTE employees increased 26% from 6,733 for the three months ended December 31, 2005 to 8,477 for the three months ended December 31, 2006, including 620 FTE off-shore as part of our Global Resources program. We utilize the off-shore workforce predominantly in non-customer-facing back office functions to enhance service levels and improve efficiencies. Our operating expenses increased 4% compared to the third quarter of 2006 consistent with the 4% increase in average FTE employees.
 
As a result of the adoption and retrospective application of SFAS No. 123(R), total stock option expenses of $2.2 million and $2.9 million, for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, have been

recognized and included in the salaries and related expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the stock option expenses were $9.6 million and $12.1 million, respectively.
 
Operating expenses of $789.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 reflected an increase of 28% from the year ended December 31, 2005, consistent with the growth in our revenues and operations.

In January 2007, we have obtained an authorization from the Board of Directors to repurchase an additional $236.4 million of common stock.
 
FUTURE OUTLOOK
 
On average, U.S. mortgage debt outstanding has grown approximately 7% to 8% per year over the last two decades and is projected, based on economic demographics, to continue this level of approximate growth. At this rate, mortgage debt outstanding roughly doubles every decade. Based on our confidence in our employees, hybrid thrift/mortgage banking business model, capital strength and ability to gain market share, Indymac aims to be among the top six lenders in the nation, while maintaining annualized earnings per share growth of at least 15%. Our annualized total return under current management for the period 1992 through December 31, 2006 was 23%. This performance exceeds the annualized returns of 12% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and 11% for the S&P 500 Index over the same period.
 
The MBA is currently forecasting that mortgage industry volumes will decline a further 5% in 2007. We expect that competition in our industry will be tough and likely to intensify and that the housing market will be challenging. As a result, we believe that our revenue margins will remain under pressure and credit quality will continue to worsen to more normal levels. In light of these conditions, we are only providing broad guidance for 2007 results. We currently anticipate that our return on equity for 2007 will range from a low of 12.5% to a high of 17.5% with 15% as the base case. This base case ROE equates to estimated earnings per share of approximately $4.15. This guidance does not include any incremental impact to our returns that may result from initiatives to reduce cost, repurchase our common stock or further deploy capital through asset growth. We have not yet completed our updated forecast and plan to provide updated guidance during the year as the operating environment for our business becomes clearer.
 
This “Future Outlook” section contains certain forward-looking statements. See the section of this Form 8-K entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” for a description of factors which may cause our actual results to differ from those anticipated.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
OVERVIEW
 
Our principal financing needs are to fund acquisitions of mortgage loans and our investment in mortgage loans, MBS and MSRs. Our primary sources of funds used to meet these financing needs are loan sales and securitizations, deposits, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), borrowings, custodial balances and retained earnings. The sources used vary depending on such factors as rates paid, collateral requirements, maturities and the impact on our capital. Additionally, we may occasionally securitize mortgage loans that we intend to hold for investment to lower our costs of borrowing against such assets and reduce the capital requirement associated with such assets. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we had average total liquidity of $2.4 billion, which consists of unpledged liquid assets on hand plus amounts that may be immediately raised through the pledging of other available assets as collateral pursuant to committed financing facilities. We currently believe that our liquidity level is in excess of that necessary to satisfy our operating requirements and meet our obligations and commitments in a timely and cost effective manner.
 
PRINCIPAL SOURCES OF CASH
 
Loan Sales and Securitizations
 
Our business model relies heavily upon selling the majority of our mortgage loans shortly after acquisition. The proceeds of these sales are a critical component of the liquidity necessary for our ongoing operations. During the three months ended December 31, 2006, we sold $23.4 billion of mortgage loans, which represented approximately 90% of our funded mortgage loans during the period, to third party investors through three channels: (1) GSEs; (2) private label securitizations; and (3) whole loan sales. Our prime SFR mortgage loans division also acquired $0.7 billion of the mortgage loans for our portfolio of mortgage loans held for investment to provide future interest income for the Company. The remainder of our funded mortgage loans during the quarter is retained in our held for sale portfolio for future sale.
 
Our liquidity could be negatively impacted if any of our sales channels were disrupted. Disruptions in our whole loan sales and mortgage securitization transactions could occur as a result of the performance of our existing securitizations, as well as economic events or other factors beyond our control.
 
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
 
The FHLB system functions as a borrowing source for regulated financial depositories and similar institutions that are engaged in residential housing finance. As a member of the FHLB of San Francisco, we are required to own capital stock of the FHLB and are authorized to apply for advances from the FHLB, on a secured basis, in amounts determined by reference to available collateral. SFR mortgage loans, agency and AAA-rated MBS are the principal collateral that may be used to secure these borrowings, although certain other types of loans and other assets may also be accepted pursuant to FHLB policies and statutory requirements. The FHLB offers several credit programs, each with its own fixed or floating interest rate, and a range of maturities.
 
On March 15, 2006, the Federal Housing Finance Board published a proposed rule aimed at bolstering capital for the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBs). Among other things, this proposal would result in the respective FHLB reducing dividends paid to its members until such time as the respective FHLB capital reaches a specified level. In response to this proposal, the FHLB San Francisco had planned to cut dividends paid to be based on approximately 80% of its net income from previous 95% of net income until the retained earnings target was reached. The implementation of this proposal has been deferred indefinitely to allow more time for the FHLB to evaluate other alternatives.
 
Currently, Indymac Bank is approved for collateralized advances of up to $15.6 billion. At December 31, 2006, advances from FHLB totaled $10.4 billion, of which $7.0 billion were collateralized by mortgage loans and $3.4 billion were collateralized by mortgage-backed securities.

Trust Preferred Securities and Warrants
 
On November 14, 2001, we completed an offering of Warrants and Income Redeemable Equity Securities (“WIRES”) to investors. Gross proceeds of the transaction were $175 million. The securities were offered as units consisting of trust preferred securities, issued by a trust formed by us, and warrants to purchase Indymac Bancorp’s common stock. As part of this transaction, Indymac Bancorp issued subordinated debentures to the trust and purchased common securities from the trust. The yield on the subordinated debentures and the common securities is the same as the yield on the trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the offering are used in ongoing operations and will fund future growth and/or repurchases of Indymac Bancorp common stock under its share repurchase program (see “Share Repurchase Activities” on page 54). Also, we issued 3,500,000 warrants, each convertible into 1.5972 shares of Indymac Bancorp’s common stock as part of the WIRES offering. Beginning on November 14, 2006, Indymac has the option to redeem the warrants for cash equal to the warrant value (the difference between $50 and the exercise price of the warrant), subject to the conditions in the prospectus. During 2006, a total of 2.5 million warrants were exercised at an average exercise price of $35.09 per share to purchase 4.0 million shares of Indymac Bancorp’s common stock. To date, total warrants of 2.6 million have been exercised and converted into a total of 4.1 million shares of Indymac Bancorp’s common stock. Subordinated debentures redeemed in conjunction with the warrant exercises totaled $64.5 million as of December 31, 2006.

In December 2006, we issued an additional $60 million in pooled trust preferred securities. To date, we have issued $368 million trust preferred securities (without warrants attached) as summarized below:

December 2003
    30,000       6.30 %
July 2003
    30,000       6.05 %
 
Interest rates on these securities are fixed for terms ranging from 5 to 10 years, after which the rates reset quarterly indexed to 3-month LIBOR. The securities can be called at the option of Indymac Bancorp five or ten years after issuance. In each of these transactions, Indymac Bancorp issued subordinated debentures to, and purchased common securities from, each of the trusts. The rates on the subordinated debentures and the common securities in each of these transactions matches the rates on the related trust preferred securities. The proceeds of these securities have been used in ongoing operations.
 
Upon the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 51,” on July 1, 2003, the trusts have been deconsolidated from the financial statements of the Company. Book values of the subordinated debentures underlying the trust preferred securities, which represent the liabilities due from Indymac Bancorp to the trusts, totaled $456.7 million and $308.7 million at December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively. These subordinated debentures are included in Other Borrowings on the consolidated balance sheets.
 
Other Borrowings, Excluding Subordinated Debentures Underlying Trust Preferred Securities
 
Other borrowings, excluding the subordinated debentures underlying the trust preferred securities, consist of loans and securities sold under committed financing facilities and uncommitted agreements to repurchase, notes payable and asset-backed commercial paper. Total other borrowings increased to $4.2 billion at December 31, 2006, from $4.1 billion at December 31, 2005.
 
In April 2006, we established the Northlake Capital Funding Program, a single seller asset-backed commercial paper facility, which allows us to issue directly, secured liquidity notes backed by mortgage loans. Both the collateral pledged and secured liquidity notes are recorded on our balance sheet as assets and liabilities, respectively. The secured liquidity notes have been rated F-1+ by Fitch Ratings, P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service and A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s, and are supported by credit enhancements, such as overcollateralization, excess spread, and market value agreements provided by highly rated counterparties. We are authorized to issue up to $2.5 billion in short-term notes, with expected maturities not to exceed 180 days after issuance and final maturities of 60 days following the expected maturities. As of December 31, 2006, we had $1.1 billion in secured liquidity notes outstanding.
 
In November 2006, we established a multi-seller Asset-Backed Commercial Paper facility, structured as a repurchase facility to provide up to $1.5 billion dedicated financing for our Construction to Permanent, Lot, and Reverse Mortgage loans. This is an annually renewable 364-day committed facility administered by Citicorp North America, Inc. As of December 31, 2006, we had outstanding totaling $1.1 billion under this facility.
 
At December 31, 2006, we had $8.4 billion in committed financing facilities ($8.0 billion whole loan facilities, $300 million bond facilities and $100 million in unsecured revolving line of credit). Of these committed financing facilities, $3.1 billion was utilized and $2.2 billion was available for use, based on eligible collateral. Decisions by our lenders and investors to make additional funds available to us in the future will depend upon a number of factors. These include our compliance with the terms of existing credit arrangements, our financial performance, eligible

collateral, changes in our credit rating, industry and market trends in our various businesses, the general availability and interest rates applicable to financing and investments, the lenders’ and/or investors’ own resources and policies concerning loans and investments and the relative attractiveness of alternative investment or lending opportunities. As of December 31, 2006, we believe we were in compliance with all representations, warranties, and financial covenants under our borrowing facilities.
 
Direct Stock Purchase Plan
 
Our direct stock purchase plan offers investors the ability to purchase shares of our common stock directly over the Internet. For those interested in investing over $10,000, investors can also participate in the waiver program administered by Mellon Investor Services LLC. During the quarter ended December 31, 2006, we raised $24.7 million of capital by issuing 563,195 shares common stock through this plan. For the year ended December 31, 2006, total capital raised amounted to $148.5 million through the issuance of 3,532,360 shares of common stock.
 
Capital Raising and Deployment Strategies
 
To optimize its capital structure and shareholders’ returns, the Company has obtained an authorization from the Indymac Bancorp Board of Directors to purchase an additional $236.4 million of Indymac Bancorp common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program previously approved by the Board of Directors (see “Share Repurchase Activities” on page 54). Additionally, the Indymac Bank Board of Directors has approved the following capital raising initiatives: 1) issuing up to $500 million in non-cumulative perpetual preferred securities; and 2) issuing up to $200 million in senior subordinated debt.
 
PRINCIPAL USES OF CASH
 
In addition to the financing sources discussed above, our cash needs are funded by net cash flows from operations, sales of mortgage-backed securities and principal and interest payments on loans and securities. The amounts of net acquisitions of loans held for sale, and trading securities included as components of net cash used in operating activities, totaled $7.9 billion during the year ended December 31, 2006 and $4.8 billion during the year ended December 31, 2005. Excluding the purchase and sale activity for loans held for sale and trading securities, the net cash provided by the Company’s operating activities totaled $490.5 million and $222.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
 
Indymac Bank is subject to regulatory capital regulations administered by the federal banking agencies. As of December 31, 2006, Indymac Bank met all of the requirements of a “well-capitalized” institution under the general regulatory capital regulations.
 
The Company’s business is primarily centered on single-family lending and the related production and sale of loans. As such, the accumulation of MSRs is a large component of our strategy. As of December 31, 2006, the capitalized value of MSRs was $1.8 billion. OTS regulations generally impose higher capital requirements on MSRs that exceed total Tier 1 capital. These higher capital requirements could result in lowered returns on our retained assets and could limit our ability to retain servicing assets. We have flexibility to sell or retain MSRs and the ability to increase our capital base through retention of earnings and other capital raising activities. While management believes that compliance with the capital limits on MSRs will not materially impact future results, no assurance can be given that our plans and strategies will be successful.
 
During 2001, the OTS issued guidance for subprime lending programs which requires a lender to quantify the additional risks in its subprime lending activities and determine the appropriate amounts of allowances for loan losses and capital it needs to offset those risks. The Company generally classifies all non-GSE loans in a first lien position with a FICO score less than 620 and all non-GSE loans in a second lien position with a FICO score less than 660 as subprime. We report our subprime loan calculation in an addendum to the Thrift Financial Report that we file with the OTS. Subprime loans held for investment and subprime loans held for sale which are either delinquent or more than 90 days old since origination are supported by capital two times that of similar prime loans. These


58


Table of Contents

subprime loans totaled $101.6 million at December 31, 2006. The impact of the additional risk-weighting criteria related to subprime loans had the effect of reducing Indymac’s total risk-based capital by 5 basis points.
 
In December 2006, the federal bank and thrift regulatory agencies issued an interim decision that any amounts reported in AOCI resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 158 should be excluded from regulatory capital until the regulatory agencies determine otherwise. As a result, $6.2 million in AOCI was excluded from our regulatory capital.
 
The following presents Indymac Bank’s actual and required capital ratios and the minimum required capital ratios to be categorized as “well-capitalized” at December 31, 2006:
 
                         
          Adjusted for
       
    As Reported
    Additional Subprime
       
    Pre-Subprime Risk-Weighting     Risk-Weighting     Well-Capitalized Minimum  
 
Capital Ratios:
                       
Tier 1 core
    7.39 %     7.39 %     5.00 %
Tier 1 risk-based
    11.40 %     11.35 %     6.00 %
Total risk-based
    11.77 %     11.72 %     10.00 %
 
We believe that, under current regulations, Indymac Bank will continue to meet its “well-capitalized” minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Indymac Bank’s regulatory capital compliance could be impacted, however, by a number of factors, such as changes to applicable regulations, adverse action by our regulators, changes in our mix of assets, interest rate fluctuations, loan loss provisions and credit losses, or significant changes in the economy in areas where we have most of our loans. Any of these factors could cause our actual future results to vary from anticipated future results and consequently could have an adverse impact on the ability of Indymac Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements.

Election of Director
 
On January 23, 2007, the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed, effective as of January 23, 2007, Lydia H. Kennard to the Board, filling a vacancy on the Board created when the Board approved an increase in the size of the Board from 9 to 10 members. Ms. Kennard will serve on the Board’s Strategic and Financial Planning Committee and will also continue to serve on the Board of Directors of IndyMac Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), and on the Bank’s Strategic and Financial Planning Committee and Compliance and Technology Committee.
 
Ms. Kennard will be compensated as a non-employee director under the Company’s Board Compensation Policy & Stock Ownership Requirements (the “Board Policy”), as described below. In addition, she will continue to participate in the Bank’s standard director compensation plans.
 
There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Kennard and any other person(s) pursuant to which she was selected as a director. Ms. Kennard is not a party to any related party transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
 
Amendment of Board Compensation Policy
 
On January 23, 2007, the Board amended the Company’s Board Policy in connection with the Board’s adoption of certain amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) relating to the election of directors. The Board Policy provides for the following cash compensation to the Company’s non-employee directors:
 
  •  $75,000 annual retainer (all non-employee directors);
 
  •  $20,000 additional retainer for each non-employee member of the Audit Committee;
 
  •  $3,000 additional retainer for the Presiding Director (reduced from $4,000 per the amendment to the Board policy on January 23, 2007);
 
  •  $2,500 for Committee chairs for each meeting chaired in a calendar year;
 
  •  $2,500 per meeting for Committee members after the fourth Committee meeting attended in a calendar year; and

Table of Contents

 
Non-employee directors serving on both the Company and Bank boards will not receive duplicate retainers, and only one set of meeting fees will be paid with respect to attendance at meetings of parallel Company and Bank committees.
 
Each non-employee director will receive the following equity compensation, on an annual basis::
 
  •  A non-qualified stock option to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 0.0125% of the issued and outstanding shares of such common stock as of the end of the preceding fiscal year (excluding treasury shares), but in no event less than 3,750 shares, and
 
  •  A number of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock having a fair market value equal to the value of such option, determined using the same valuation method as then used by the Company for financial reporting purposes.
 
Options and restricted shares will be granted automatically on the same date that annual grants of equity incentive awards are made to employees. Newly elected non-employee directors automatically will receive awards as follows: (i) if the non-employee director is elected within six months following the annual grant date, he or she will receive options for the number of shares covered by the most recent annual director grant; or (ii) if the non-employee director is elected more than six months following the most recent annual grant date, but before the next annual grant date, he or she will receive options for one-half the number of shares covered by the most recent annual director grant. The number of restricted shares granted will be determined according to the value of the option grant, as described above.
 
Options will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, and will expire on the latest date permitted under the IndyMac Bancorp, Inc. 2002 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (presently the tenth anniversary of the grant date), or earlier in the event of a non-employee director’s termination of service. Restricted shares will vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period, and any dividends on such shares will accrue and vest at the same time. Prior to the amendment to the Board policy on January 23, 2007, vesting for options and restricted shares accelerated in full upon a change in control, a non-employee director’s death or disability, or a non-employee director’s failure to be renominated or reelected to the board after five years of service as a director, provided that the director remains on the board until his or her normal term expires.
 
The Board amended the Board Policy to provide that, in addition to the foregoing vesting accelerators, the options and restricted shares will become immediately vested in the event the recipient ceases to be a director pursuant to the Board’s acceptance of a director’s resignation as contemplated by Article II, Section 12 of the Bylaws after such director fails to receive a sufficient number of votes for re-election, in accordance with the Bylaws, at the next stockholders meeting. In the case of options, such director will have one year after termination to exercise such option(s).

In addition, the amendment reduced the annual retainer from $4,000 to $3,000 for directors serving as Presiding Director.

Amendments to Bylaws
 
On January 23, 2007, the Board, in accordance with Article XIV of the Bylaws, amended the Bylaws, effective on such date, to revise the following: the provisions of the Bylaws relating to the existing majority voting standard for the election of directors; the director resignation provisions in order to conform to a new Delaware law recognizing advance, irrevocable contingent resignations; the advance notice provisions relating to stockholder

nominations of persons for election to the Board; and certain other provisions relating to the Company’s officers, directors and procedural matters, in each case as described below.
 
The voting standard for the election of directors set forth in Section 6 of Article II was amended to clarify the majority vote standard previously in the Bylaws and to provide that a nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the votes cast for such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election, except in those instances where the number of director nominees that were nominated by (i) the Board, (ii) any stockholder, or (iii) a combination of nominees by the Board and any stockholder, exceeds the number of directors to be elected to the Board, in which case the directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the stockholders meeting. Section 6 of Article II was also amended to provide that voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot, to permit stockholders and proxyholders to participate in stockholders meetings by means of remote communication and to delete the provision requiring proxies to be executed in writing by the stockholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
 
In order to conform to a new Delaware law recognizing advance, irrevocable contingent resignations, Section 12 of Article II was amended to require incumbent directors to submit an irrevocable offer of resignation in order to become a nominee for re-election which offer of resignation becomes effective upon (a) (i) the nominee’s failure to receive the required majority stockholder vote for re-election or (ii) the determination by the Board not to nominate such person to stand for re-election and the failure of the candidate nominated to succeed such person, if any, to obtain the required majority stockholder vote, and (b) acceptance of such resignation by the Board. The revised provision also establishes a process for the Board’s consideration of such a resignation. The revised provision further provides that the Board will fill director vacancies and newly created directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their appointment to the Board, the same form of resignation tendered by other directors.
 
In addition to the amendments relating to the majority vote standard and director resignations, the Board also adopted amendments to the advance notice provisions contained in Section 10 of Article II of the Bylaws which provide that:
 
  •  in addition to the requirements previously specified in the Bylaws, a stockholder’s notice regarding nomination of directors must include (i) a statement as to whether the director nominee intends to submit an irrevocable form of resignation as described above, (ii) a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary arrangements during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among such stockholder and the proposed director nominee, and (iii) the names and addresses of any other stockholders or beneficial owners known to be supporting such nomination by the proposing stockholder, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made. As amended, the Company may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the independence of such proposed nominee; and
 
  •  no person, other than a director nominated for election or re-election by the Board, will be eligible for election as a director unless the Company receives a written questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of such person and a written representation and agreement that such person (a) is not and will not become a party to certain voting commitments, (b) is not and will not become a party to any agreement with any person or entity other than the Company with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with his or her service as a director that has not been disclosed to the Company, and (c) would be in compliance and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading policies and guidelines of the Company and execute any agreement directors of the Company are requested to execute.
 
The Board’s Policy & Guidelines on Director Candidates Recommended by Stockholders has been revised in a similar manner.
 
The Bylaw provisions relating to meetings of the stockholders were further amended in Section 3 of Article II to permit the Chief Executive Officer to call a special meeting of the stockholders and to remove such authority from the President. Section 4 of Article II was amended to provide that notice of all stockholders meetings may be

given electronically (by email, facsimile or electronic network posting), in addition to the written notice method that was previously specified in the Bylaws, provided that the stockholder to whom the electronic notice is given consents to such form of electronic notice. Section 4 was further amended to provide that the adjournment of an annual meeting will not commence a new time period for purposes of the advance notice provisions of the Bylaws relating to stockholder nominations of persons for election as directors. The amendment also clarifies that once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it will be present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting. Section 8 of Article II was amended to provide that the chairman of any meeting of the stockholders has the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting.
 
The provisions of the Bylaws relating to meetings of the Board were also amended. In particular, Section 10 of Article III was amended to provide that the Chief Executive Officer may call a special meeting of the Board, in addition to those persons previously specified by the Bylaws, which include two or more directors of the Company, the Chairman of the Board, or the President. Section 11 of Article III was amended to revise the notice requirements relating to special meetings of the Board. Section 13 of Article III was amended to provide that in the absence or inability of the Chairman of the Board to preside at a Board meeting, another director chosen by a majority of the directors present will act as chairman. Prior to this amendment, the President would act as chairman in such an event.
 
Article IV of the Bylaws relating to committees of the Board was amended in Section 1 to reduce the number of directors required to be on a committee from two to one, as well as in Section 4 to delete the requirement that at least two members of a committee be present in person at any committee meeting in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. As amended, the Bylaws require one-third of the members of a committee to be present in person.
 
The provisions of the Bylaws relating to the Company’s officers contained in Article V have been amended, consistent with Company practice, to clarify that the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer will serve at the pleasure of the Board. As amended, the Board, or a committee thereof, will appoint the Secretary and Treasurer and may appoint such other officers as it deems necessary, including, without limitation, a President, a Chief Operating Officer, one or more Vice Presidents, one or more Assistant Secretaries and one or more Assistant Treasurers. Article V was further amended in Section 2 to provide that the Board may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the power to determine compensation of officers of the Company, other than the Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Section 3 of Article V was amended to provide that the Board may delegate to a committee thereof the authority to remove an officer with or without cause. Additional sections of Article V were amended to clarify the role of each officer.
 
The Bylaws have also been amended to correct certain typographical errors, duplicative phrases and references to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. The text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated herein by reference.
