Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $140 million, up 31% compared to the $107 million we reported for the third quarter of 2020. Diluted earnings per share were $0.30, up 30% compared to the $0.23 reported for the third quarter of 2020. Excluding merger-related expenses of $6 million, diluted earnings per share were $0.31 on a non-GAAP basis, up 35%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net income totaled $446 million, up 39% compared to the $321 million reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net income available for common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $421 million, up 42% compared to the $296 million reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $0.90, up 43% compared to the $0.63 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Excluding merger-related expenses of $16 million, diluted earnings per share were $0.93 on a non-GAAP basis, up 48%.

Commenting on the Company's third-quarter operating performance, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas R. Cangemi said: "We generated solid results, during the quarter, highlighted by double-digit year-over-year EPS growth, driven by higher PPNR, continued NIM expansion, stable operating expenses, strong deposit growth, and solid asset quality. Additionally, the $0.90 of diluted EPS and the $0.93, on a non-GAAP basis, we recorded for the first nine months of 2021, are the best diluted EPS we have reported in the first nine months of a year since 2010.

"Diluted earnings per share, on a non-GAAP basis, were $0.31 per share, up 35% from the third quarter of last year as the net interest margin increased 15 basis points to 2.44% compared to the third-quarter 2020 margin driven primarily by a lower cost of deposits. We continue to make significant strides in both growing our deposits and shifting the mix to core deposits. Total deposits rose $444 million or 5% annualized compared to the previous quarter. Certificates of deposits declined 10% on an annualized basis compared to the prior quarter, while all other deposit categories rose. This reflects growth in our Banking as a Service business and continued success in gathering deposits from our borrowers.

"We were pleased to see good growth in the multi-family portfolio, despite modest overall loan growth. Multi-family loans on a linked-quarter basis increased to nearly $33 billion, up about $300 million or 4% annualized compared to the previous quarter, while total loans held for investment rose 1% on an annualized basis compared to the previous quarter.

"Asset quality metrics improved as non-performing assets declined 8% and 33%, compared to the prior quarter and the year-ago quarter, respectively. Loan deferrals consisting primarily of loans paying interest-only and escrow declined to $914 million or 2% of total loans, while loans on full-payment deferral remained at zero.

"As for our pending strategic merger with Flagstar, both sets of shareholders overwhelmingly approved the planned merger on August 4th. We continue to make significant progress on the integration planning front, while we await regulatory approval. At this point, it does not appear that regulatory approval will be received in time to close the merger during the fourth quarter of 2021. We now estimate an anticipated closing as soon in 2022 as we can obtain regulatory approvals.

"Also during the third quarter, we announced our investment in, and entered into a partnership with, Figure Technologies, one of the leading Fintech companies focusing on payment systems and lending, via blockchain technology. We believe this partnership will support our strategic priorities including leveraging blockchain technology to support a faster and less expensive payments system, reducing the cost and complexity of the mortgage business, and supporting financial inclusion in banking and credit.

"Lastly, I am proud to announce that our bank subsidiary, New York Community Bank was named the number 1 bank in the country for the best overall customer experience, based on a survey conducted by American Banker and creative experience firm, Monigle. This is a tremendous achievement and recognition. Congratulations go out to all of our team members who made this happen. This accomplishment speaks volumes about who we are and the caliber of our organization."

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY

At September 30, 2021, total assets were $57.9 billion, up $1.6 billion or 4% on an annualized basis compared to December 31, 2020, and up $421 million or 3% annualized compared to June 30, 2021. Compared to the previous quarter, growth was driven by an increase in loans, specifically in the multi-family segment, and a $436 million or 21% increase in the level of cash and cash equivalents. This growth was funded by continued growth in deposits, mainly growth in non-interest bearing accounts.

Total loans and leases held for investment of $43.7 billion rose $112 million or 1% annualized compared to June 30, 2021. Third quarter loan growth was led by an increase in the multi-family loan segment, partially offset by declines in the other segments.

Total deposits of $34.6 billion rose $444 million or 5% annualized compared to the previous quarter. Core deposits (total deposits excluding CDs), especially non-interest bearing deposits, continued to increase, while certificates of deposits ("CDs") declined.

Borrowed funds totaled $15.4 billion, unchanged from the prior quarter.

Loans

At September 30, 2021, the multi-family portfolio increased $298 million to $32.9 billion, compared to $32.6 billion at June 30, 2021, and on a year-over-year basis, multi-family loans rose $738 million.

The specialty finance portfolio decreased $81 million to $3.2 billion compared to June 30, 2021, while on a year-over-year basis, the specialty finance portfolio grew $115 million.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, loans and leases originated for investment totaled $3.0 billion, down 4% compared to the previous quarter and exceeded the second quarter pipeline by $1.6 billion. On a linked-quarter basis, specialty finance originations increased 31%, while multi-family originations declined 14%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, loans and leases originated for investment totaled $8.6 billion, down 5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Multi-family loan originations declined 10% while specialty finance originations declined 14%.

Asset Quality

Non-Performing Assets

Non-performing assets ("NPAs") at September 30, 2021 declined modestly compared to June 30, 2021 levels. Total NPAs were $37 million, down 8% compared to $40 million in the prior quarter. This represents six basis points of total assets compared to seven basis points of total assets in the previous quarter. Total non-performing loans ("NPLs") at September 30, 2021 declined to $28 million or six basis points of total loans compared to $32 million or seven basis points of total loans in the previous quarter.

During the third quarter, total loans 30-89 days past due increased to $447 million compared to $35 million during the second quarter of 2021. Approximately $377 million of this increase is related to multiple loans to one borrower and consists primarily of multi-family and mixed-use properties, all of which are in the 30 days past due category. The Company is working with the borrower and has entered into a CARES Act deferral agreement for the loans in question. The loans have an original weighted average LTV of 57% and the Bank is well collateralized. Therefore, we do not expect to incur any losses on this relationship.

Allowance for Credit LossesAt September 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") was $200 million, relatively flat compared to June 30, 2021 and up $6 million compared to December 31, 2020. At September 30, 2021, the ACL represented 711.96% of total non-performing loans and 0.46% of total loans.

Loan Deferral Program Update

At September 30, 2021, deposits totaled $34.6 billion, up $444 million on a linked-quarter basis and up $2.9 billion on a year-over-year basis. Deposit growth during the third quarter was centered on non-interest bearing accounts, while CD balances continued to decline. Non-interest bearing deposits rose $355 million on a linked-quarter basis and $1.8 billion on a year-over-year basis.

Included in non-interest bearing deposits are deposits related to our Banking as a Service initiative, which totaled $1.4 billion at September 30, 2021. Also included in total deposits were $4.2 billion of loan-related deposits, deposits from our borrowers, which increased $265 million during the quarter, and $652 million since December 31, 2020.

EARNINGS SUMMARY FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021

Net Interest Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, net interest income increased $36 million or 13% on a year-over-year basis. The higher level of net interest income was driven by a $39 million or 29% decrease in interest expense as funding costs declined while interest income was flat. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 totaled $415 million compared to $418 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The year-over-year improvement in interest expense was driven by a lower cost of deposits, which declined 50 basis points to 0.35% during the current third quarter compared to the year-ago quarter. Accordingly, interest expense on deposits dropped 57% to $26 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $61 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Included in net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2021 is $16 million of prepayment income, down 41% or $11 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding the impact from prepayment income, net interest income on a non-GAAP basis would have been $302 million, down $2 million or 3% annualized compared to the previous quarter.

Our forward-looking statements are subject to the following principal risks and uncertainties: the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the length of time that the pandemic continues, the potential imposition of future shelter in place orders or additional restrictions on travel in the future, the effect of the pandemic on the general economy and on the businesses of our borrowers and their ability to make payments on their obligation, the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by federal, state, and local governments; the inability of employees to work due to illness, quarantine, or government mandates; 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 competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions; and changes in legislation, regulations, and policies; 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 pending merger with Flagstar Bancorp; our strategic relationship with Figure Technologies, Inc.; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of any of the parties to the pending transactions to terminate the agreements governing such transactions; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or any other party to the transactions; the possibility that the proposed transactions will not close when expected or at all because required regulatory or other approvals are not received or other conditions to the closings are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all, or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions will not be realized when expected or at all; 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 proposed transactions within the expected timeframes or at all; and revenues following the proposed transactions may be lower than expected.

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, 2020, the Risk Factors section in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and in other SEC reports we file.

NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC.RECONCILIATIONS OF CERTAIN GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES(unaudited)

While stockholders' equity, total assets, and book value per share are financial measures that are recorded in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), tangible stockholders' equity, tangible assets, and tangible book value per share are not. Nevertheless, it is management's belief that these non-GAAP measures should be disclosed in our earnings releases and other investor communications for the following reasons:

* 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. * 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. * 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:

To calculate return on average assets for a period, we divide net income(1) generated during that period by average assets recorded during that period. To calculate return on average tangible assets for a period, we divide net income by average tangible assets recorded during that period.

To calculate return on average common stockholders' equity for a period, we divide net income available to common shareholders generated during that period by average common stockholders' equity recorded during that period.(2) To calculate return on average tangible common stockholders' equity for a period, we divide net income available to common shareholders generated during that period by average tangible common shareholders' equity recorded during that period.

While diluted earnings per common share, net income, net income available to common shareholders, 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 to our pending merger with Flagstar and the revaluation of deferred taxes related to New York State tax rate change 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.

(1) Certain merger-related expenses are non-deductible.

While net income is a financial measure that is calculated in accordance with GAAP, PPNR and PPNR excluding merger-related 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, particularly in view of the volatility of the provision for credit losses resulting from the implementation of CECL and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 merger-related expenses to the comparable GAAP financial measures of net income for the stated periods:

While our net interest margin, including the contribution of prepayment income is recorded in accordance with GAAP, adjusted net interest margin, which excludes the contribution of prepayment income is not. Nevertheless, management uses this non-GAAP measure in its analysis of our performance, and believes that this non-GAAP measure should be disclosed in our earnings releases and other investor communications for the following reasons:

* Adjusted net interest margin gives investors a better understanding of the effect of prepayment income and other items on our net interest margin. Prepayment income in any given period depends on the volume of loans that refinance or prepay, or securities that prepay, during that period. Such activity is largely dependent on external factors such as current market conditions, including real estate values, and the perceived or actual direction of market interest rates. * Adjusted net interest margin is among the measures considered by current and prospective investors, both independent of, and in comparison with, our peers.
