CEO COMMENTARY
“In 2023, New York Community reached an inflection point in its transformation to a dynamic, full-service commercial bank” said President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas R. Cangemi. “We reported an increase in net income available to common stockholders, diversified our balance sheet with commercial loans now representing almost 50% of our total loans, and increased the percentage of non-interest-bearing deposits. In addition, we have made terrific progress integrating Flagstar Bank, meeting every milestone along the way and unveiled a fresh, new re-branding campaign, which will launch shortly after the planned systems conversion is completed in mid-February.
“Shortly after closing the acquisition of Flagstar Bank, we were presented with the unique opportunity to accelerate this transformation when we were selected by the FDIC to purchase certain strategically and financially attractive assets and liabilities of Signature Bank. The benefits of this transaction were abundantly clear, as it strengthened our balance sheet by adding a significant amount of low-cost deposits and a middle-market business supported by over 130 private banking teams. The transaction also put us over $100 billion in total assets, placing us firmly in the Category IV large bank class of banks between $100 billion and $250 billion in assets and subjecting us to enhanced prudential standards, including risk-based and leverage capital requirements, liquidity standards, requirements for overall risk management and stress testing. While we began preparing to be a $100 billion bank almost immediately after closing the Flagstar acquisition, we crossed this important threshold sooner than anticipated as a result of the Signature transaction. Alongside the integration of our three banks and in anticipation of our initial capital plan submission in April of this year, we have pivoted quickly and accelerated some necessary enhancements that come with being a $100 billion-plus Category IV bank.
2
New York Community Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results
“With this in mind, during the fourth quarter, we took decisive actions to build capital, reinforce our balance sheet, strengthen our risk management processes, and better align ourselves with the relevant bank peers. We significantly built our reserve levels by recording a $552 million provision for loan losses, bringing our ACL coverage more in line with these peer banks. In addition, we added on-balance sheet liquidity as we prepare for the enhanced prudential standards that apply to banks with $100 billion or more in total assets.
“To this end, we are also building capital by reducing our quarterly common dividend to $0.05 per common share. We recognize the importance and impact of the dividend reduction on all of our stockholders and it was not made lightly. We believe this is the prudent decision as it will allow us to accelerate the building of capital to support our balance sheet as a Category IV bank.
“While these necessary actions negatively impacted our fourth quarter results, we are confident they better align our larger organization with our new peers and provide a solid foundation going forward. We successfully grew into a $50 billion-plus bank in 2018, and we believe the actions we are taking now will make our transition to a $100 billion plus bank even more successful.
“Lastly, I would like to thank all of our teammates for their outstanding work over the past year. We have an amazing team and as always, we truly appreciate their continued commitment to the Company and dedication to our clients, customers, and communities.”
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
On January 30, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on the Company's common stock. The dividend is payable on February 28, 2024 to common stockholders of record as of February 14, 2024.
BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY
At December 31, 2023 total assets were $116.3 billion compared to $111.2 billion at September 30, 2023 and $90.1 billion at December 31, 2022. The linked-quarter increase was primarily driven by higher balances of cash and cash equivalents as we enhanced our on-balance sheet liquidity.
Total loans and leases held for investment were $84.6 billion at December 31, 2023 compared to $84.0 billion at September 30, 2023 and $69.0 billion at December 31, 2022. The linked-quarter increase was driven by growth in the C&I portfolio and the residential mortgage portfolio, while other categories were either flat or declined modestly.
The securities portfolio totaled $9.2 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $8.7 billion at September 30, 2023 and $9.1 billion at December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2023, total securities were 8% of total assets, unchanged compared to September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s securities were designated as “Available-for-Sale”, unchanged from September 30, 2023.
Total deposits at December 31, 2023 were $81.4 billion compared to $82.7 billion at September 30, 2023 and $58.7 billion at December 31, 2022. The linked-quarter decrease was due to lower non-interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in certificates of deposits.
Wholesale borrowings at December 31, 2023 totaled $20.3 billion, up $6.7 billion or 49% compared to September 30, 2023, and flat compared to December 31, 2022. The increase reflects actions taken to bolster our on-balance sheet liquidity as we prepare for Regulation YY compliance.
Loans
At December 31, 2023, total C&I loans were $25.3 billion compared to $24.4 billion at September 30, 2023. The linked-quarter increase was driven by growth in specialty finance, while mortgage warehouse balances declined due to seasonality.
The multi-family loan portfolio decreased $433 million to $37.3 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $37.7 billion at September 30, 2023. The decrease is due to the continuation of the high rate environment, which limits refinance activity.
CRE loans were flat at $13.4 billion at December 31, 2023, unchanged compared to September 30, 2023.
One-to-four family residential loans increased $179 million to $6.1 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $5.9 billion at September 30, 2023. Other loans increased $61 million to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2023.
Loans held-for-sale at December 31, 2023 totaled $1.2 billion, down from $1.9 billion at September 30, 2023, which reflects seasonally lower balances and continued impact of higher mortgage rates.

New York Community Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results
Total commercial loans represent 46% of total loans held for investment, and multi-family loans represent 44% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2023, which reflects significant diversification compared to a year ago. Residential loans and other loans represented 7% and 3%, respectively, of total loans held for investment.
Asset Quality
Non-Performing Assets
Total NPLs decreased $7 million or 2% to $428 million at December 31, 2023 compared to September 30, 2023. Repossessed assets of $14 million were slightly higher compared to the prior quarter. Total NPAs decreased 1% to $442 million at December 31, 2023 compared to September 30, 2023.
At December 31, 2023, NPAs to total assets equaled 38 basis points compared to 40 basis points at September 30, 2023, while NPLs to total loans equaled 51 basis points compared to 52 basis points at September 30, 2023.
Allowance for Credit Losses
At December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was $992 million compared to $619 million at September 30, 2023, up $373 million reflecting our actions to build reserves during the quarter to address weakness in the office sector, potential repricing risk in the multi-family portfolio and an increase in classified assets, which better aligns the Company with its relevant bank peers, including Category IV banks. The allowance for credit losses to total loans held for investment increased to 1.17% at December 31, 2023 compared to 0.74% at September 30, 2023. Excluding loans with government guarantees and warehouse loans, the allowance for credit losses was 1.26% at December 31, 2023, compared to 0.80% at September 30, 2023.
Deposits
Deposits at December 31, 2023 totaled $81.4 billion, or $1.3 billion lower compared to $82.7 billion at September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $1.8 billion decrease in custodial deposits related to the Signature transaction. Excluding these custodial deposits, total deposits increased $457 million, or 0.6%, primarily driven by growth in CD balances, partially offset by lower noninterest-bearing deposits and savings and lower interest-bearing checking balances.

The Company’s regulatory capital ratios continue to exceed regulatory minimums to be classified as “Well Capitalized,” the highest regulatory classification. The table below depicts the Company’s and the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios at those respective periods.

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE THREE AND TWELVE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023
Net Interest Income
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, net interest income totaled $740 million, down $142 million, or 16%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by a 45 basis points reduction in the net interest margin and higher average interest-bearing liabilities.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net interest income increased $1.7 billion, to $3.1 billion. The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of the Flagstar acquisition, which closed in late 2022, and the Signature transaction, which closed in late March of 2023.
Net Interest Margin
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the NIM was 2.82% down 45 basis points compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Average loan balances decreased $20 million, or 0.02%, to $85.7 billion compared to the previous quarter, while the loan yield decreased 10 basis points on a quarter-over-quarter basis to 5.72%. Average cash balances decreased to $6.8 billion during the fourth quarter compared to $10.8 billion during the third quarter, while the average yield decreased 3 basis points to 5.28% from 5.31%.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $1.1 billion, or 2%, to $75.2 billion on a quarter-over-quarter basis with the average cost increasing 36 basis points to 3.73% compared to 3.37%. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $1.0 billion, or 2%, to $59.5 billion, while the average cost rose 29 basis points to 3.62%. Average borrowed funds increased $118 million, or 1%, to $15.7 billion, while the average cost of borrowed funds increased sixty-one basis points to 4.14%. Average non-interest-bearing deposit balances decreased $3.0 billion, or 12%, to $22.7 billion compared to the previous quarter.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the NIM was 2.99%, up 64 basis points compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-over-year increase was primarily the result of a larger balance sheet driven by both the Flagstar acquisition and the Signature transaction, and due to organic loan growth, along with the impact of higher interest rates. Average interest-earning assets increased $43.6 billion, or 74%, on a year-over-year basis to $102.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, while the average yield rose 181 basis points to 5.34%.
Average loan balances rose $32.5 billion, or 66%, to $81.9 billion while the average loan yield rose 177 basis points to 5.51% on a year-over-year basis. Average cash balances increased $8.0 billion to $10.0 billion, while the average yield rose to 5.14% from 1.47%. Average securities increased $3.2 billion, or 42%, to $10.6 billion, while the average yield improved to 4.18% from 2.69%.
Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $22.9 billion, or 44%, to $74.3 billion while the average cost increased to 3.25% from 1.35%. Average interest-bearing deposits rose $20.3 billion, or 56%, while the average cost of deposits increased to 3.12% compared to 1.06%. Average borrowed funds increased $2.5 billion to $17.9 billion while the average cost rose to 3.66% from 2.04%. Average non-interest-bearing deposits rose $16.5 billion to $21.6 billion.
Provision for Credit Losses
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the provision for credit losses totaled $552 million compared to a $62 million provision for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to higher net charge-offs, as well as, to address weakness in the office sector, potential repricing risk in the multi-family portfolio, and an increase in classified assets.
Net charge-offs totaled $185 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared with $24 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net charge-offs on a non-annualized basis represented 0.22% and 0.03% of average loans outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Fourth quarter net charge-offs were primarily related to two loans. First, we had one co-op loan with a unique feature that pre-funded capital expenditures. Although the borrower was not in default, the loan was transferred to held for sale during the fourth quarter. We expect the loan to be sold during the first quarter of 2024. We also performed a review of other co-op loans and did not find any other loans with similar characteristics.
Second, we had an additional charge-off on an office loan that went non-accrual during the third quarter, based on an updated valuation. Given the impact of recent credit deterioration within the office portfolio, we determined it prudent to increase the ACL coverage ratio.
5
New York Community Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Results
Together, these two loans accounted for the bulk of the $185 million of net charge-offs we took during the fourth quarter.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the provision for credit losses totaled $833 million compared to $133 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The year-to-date amount includes a $132 million initial provision for credit losses for the acquired portion of the Signature loan portfolio.
Net charge-offs totaled $208 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with net recoveries of $4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Net charge-offs (recoveries) represented 0.25% and (0.01)% of average loans outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

The 2023 amount includes a bargain purchase gain of $2.2 billion related to the Signature transaction. Excluding this item, non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2023 totaled $556 million compared to $247 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net gains on loan sales, net return on mortgage servicing rights and net loan administration income totaled $274 million compared to $14 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Non-Interest Expense
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, non-interest expense totaled $695 million, down $17 million, or 2%, on a linked-quarter basis. Excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, intangible amortization expense, and the FDIC insurance special assessment of $39 million, total operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2023 were $557 million, down $28 million compared to $585 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by reduced compensation and benefits expenses due to lower incentives, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses due to an increase in professional fees.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, non-interest expenses were $2.5 billion, up $1.9 billion or 272% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Excluding merger-related and restructuring expenses, intangible asset amortization and the FDIC deposit insurance special assessment, non-interest expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 totaled $2.0 billion compared to $604 million, up $1.4 billion, driven by the impact of the Flagstar Bank acquisition, which closed in late 2022 and the Signature transaction, which closed in late March of 2023.
Income Taxes
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported a benefit for income taxes of $109 million compared to a provision for income taxes of $61 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was driven by the loss recognized in the current quarter.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the provision for income taxes totaled $32 million, down $144 million or 82% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 1.3% compared to 21.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 was impacted by the bargain purchase gain arising from the Signature transaction.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This earnings release and the associated conference call may include forward‐looking statements by the Company and our authorized officers pertaining to such matters as our goals, intentions, and expectations regarding revenues, earnings, loan production, asset quality, capital levels, and acquisitions, among other matters; our estimates of future costs and benefits of the actions we may take; our assessments of probable losses on loans; our assessments of interest rate and other market risks; and our ability to achieve our financial and other strategic goals, including those related to our merger with Flagstar Bancorp, Inc., which was completed on December 1, 2022, our acquisition of substantial portions of the former Signature Bank through an FDIC-assisted transaction, and our transition to a $100 billion plus bank.
Forward‐looking statements are typically identified by such words as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should,” and other similar words and expressions, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, which change over time. Additionally, forward‐looking statements speak only as of the date they are made; the Company does not assume any duty, and does not undertake, to update our forward‐looking statements. Furthermore, because forward‐looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in our statements, and our future performance could differ materially from our historical results.
Our forward‐looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties: general economic conditions and trends, either nationally or locally; conditions in the securities markets; changes in interest rates; changes in deposit flows, and in the demand for deposit, loan, and investment products and other financial services; changes in real estate values; changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios; changes in future allowance for credit losses requirements under relevant accounting and regulatory requirements; the ability to pay future dividends at currently expected rates; changes in our capital management and balance sheet strategies and our ability to successfully implement such strategies; changes in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non‐financial institutions; changes in legislation, regulations, and policies; the success of our blockchain and fintech activities, investments and strategic partnerships; the restructuring of our mortgage business; the impact of failures or disruptions in or breaches of the Company’s operational or security systems, data or infrastructure, or those of third parties, including as a result of cyberattacks or campaigns; the impact of natural disasters, extreme weather events, military conflict (including the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas, the possible expansion of such conflicts and potential geopolitical consequences), terrorism or other geopolitical events; and a variety of other matters which, by their nature, are subject to significant uncertainties and/or are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties with respect to our merger with Flagstar Bancorp, which was completed on December 1, 2022, and our acquisition of substantial portions of the former Signature Bank through an FDIC-assisted transaction: the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transactions will not be realized when expected or at all; the possibility of increased legal and compliance costs, including with respect to any litigation or regulatory actions related to the business practices of acquired companies or the combined business; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; the possibility that the Company may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies in or as a result of the transactions within the expected timeframes or at all; and revenues following the transactions may be lower than expected. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Community Benefits Agreement entered into with NCRC, which was contingent upon the closing of the Company’s merger with Flagstar Bancorp, Inc., will achieve the results or outcome originally expected or anticipated by us as a result of changes to our business strategy, performance of the U.S. economy, or changes to the laws and regulations affecting us, our customers, communities we serve, and the U.S. economy (including, but not limited to, tax laws and regulations).
More information regarding some of these factors is provided in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10‐K for the year ended December 31, 2022, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023 and in other SEC reports we file. Our forward‐looking statements may also be subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those we may discuss in this news release, on our conference call, during investor presentations, or in our SEC filings, which are accessible on our website and at the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.

RECONCILIATIONS OF CERTAIN GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(dollars in millions)
While stockholders’ equity, total assets, and book value per share are financial measures that are recorded in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are not. Nevertheless, it is management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in our earnings releases and other investor communications for the following reasons:
1. Tangible stockholders’ equity is an important indication of the Company’s ability to grow organically and through business combinations,
as well as its ability to pay dividends and to engage in various capital management strategies.
2. Returns on average tangible assets and average tangible stockholders’ equity are among the profitability measures considered by current
and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, the Company’s peers.
3. Tangible book value per share and the ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to tangible assets are among the capital measures considered
by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, its peers.
Tangible stockholders’ equity, tangible assets, and the related non-GAAP profitability and capital measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for stockholders’ equity, total assets, or any other profitability or capital measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Moreover, the manner in which we calculate these non-GAAP measures may differ from that of other companies reporting non-GAAP measures with similar names.
The following table presents reconciliations of our common stockholders’ equity and tangible common stockholders’ equity, our total assets and tangible assets, and the related GAAP and non-GAAP profitability and capital measures at or for the periods indicated:

While diluted earnings per common share, net income, net income available to common stockholders, and total non-interest income are financial measures that are recorded in accordance with GAAP, financial measures that adjust these GAAP measures to exclude expenses and the bargain purchase gains related to our merger with Flagstar and the Signature transaction, and initial provision for credit losses are not. Nevertheless, it is management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in our earnings release and other investor communications because they are not considered part of recurring operations and are included because the Company believes they may provide useful supplemental information for evaluating the underlying performance trends of the Company.

While net income is a financial measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, PPNR and PPNR excluding bargain purchase gains, FDIC special assessment and merger-related and restructuring expenses are non-GAAP financial measures. Nevertheless, it is management’s belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in our earnings releases and other investor communications because management believes these measures are relevant to understanding the performance of the Company attributable to elements other than the provision for credit losses and the ability of the Company to generate earnings sufficient to cover estimated credit losses. These measures also provide a meaningful basis for comparison to other financial institutions since it is commonly employed and is a measure frequently cited by investors and analysts. The following table reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of PPNR and PPNR excluding bargain purchase gains, FDIC special assessment and merger-related and restructuring expenses to the comparable GAAP financial measures of net income for the stated periods:
