Introduction

We are a savings and loan holding company founded in 1993. Our business is primarily conducted through our principal subsidiary, the Bank, a federally chartered stock savings bank founded in 1987. We provide commercial and consumer banking services and we are the 5th largest bank mortgage originator in the nation and the 5th largest subservicer of mortgage loans nationwide. At March 31, 2019 , we had 3,996 full-time equivalent employees. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol "FBC."

Our relationship-based business model leverages our full-service bank’s capabilities and our national mortgage platform to create and build financial solutions for our customers. At March 31, 2019 , we operated 160 full-service banking branches that offer a full set of banking products to consumer, commercial, and government customers. Our banking footprint spans Michigan, Indiana, California, Wisconsin, Ohio and contiguous states.

We originate mortgages through a wholesale network of brokers and correspondents in all 50 states, our own loan officers from 72 retail locations in 22 states and two call centers, which includes our direct lending team. We are also a leading national servicer of mortgage loans and provide complementary ancillary offerings including MSR lending, servicing advance lending and recapture services.

Recent Acquisitions

In the fourth quarter of 2018, we closed on the purchase of 52 branches from Wells Fargo located in Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio. In the first quarter of 2018, we closed on the purchase of the mortgage loan warehouse business from Santander Bank and completed the acquisition of eight Desert Community Bank branches located in San Bernardino County, California .

Overview

We earned net income of $36 million , or $0.63 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019, up $1 million compared to the first quarter of 2018. Diluted earnings per share was up $0.03 over the same period, partially driven by the $50 million share repurchase initiated during the first quarter of 2019. The increase in net income was primarily due to $20 million higher net interest income in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period a year ago, driven by growth in interest-earning assets and net interest margin expansion, offset by higher noninterest expense to support our strategic growth initiatives.

The Community Banking segment continued to add high-quality loans to the balance sheet with broad-based growth in our loan portfolios, which increased $1.7 billion in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2018. The low-cost deposits acquired through our 2018 banking acquisitions drove a $1.8 billion increase in retail and government deposits over the same period. The increase in earning assets, along with a 33 basis point expansion in net interest margin, reflecting higher yielding loans and low-cost deposits, drove up net interest income 19 percent , accounting for 54 percent of total revenue in the first quarter of 2019, compared to 49 percent in the first quarter of 2018.

We continued to build the Mortgage Servicing segment, more than doubling the number of loans serviced or subserviced over the last 12 months, ending the first quarter of 2019 servicing 962,000 accounts. We are positioned to continue to add scale to our servicing business which provides both deposits and a reliable source of fee income.

The mortgage market remained challenging through the first two months of the quarter with improvements in March and we continued to exercise price and expense discipline in the competitive market. Net gain on loan sales decreased $11 million , driven by a 15 percent decrease in fallout-adjusted lock volume and a 5 basis point decrease in net gain on loan sale margin during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Net income increased $1 million , or $0.03 per diluted share, to $36 million , or $0.63 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 , primarily due to the following:

Net interest income increased $20 million , primarily driven by 22 percent higher average LHFI, along with a 33 basis point increase in the net interest margin.
Noninterest income decreased $2 million , primarily due to an $11 million decrease in net gain on loan sales, partially offset by a $6 million increase in loan administration income, resulting from an increase in the number of loans serviced and subserviced.
Noninterest expense increased $18 million , primarily to support growth in our community banking business as a result of our 2018 banking acquisitions and organic growth in our servicing business, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage volume related expenses.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The table distinguishes between the changes related to average outstanding balances (changes in volume while holding the initial rate constant) and the changes related to average interest rates (changes in average rates while holding the initial balance constant). The rate/volume mix variances are allocated to rate.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Net interest income in creased $20 million , or 19 percent , for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to the same period in 2018 . The increase was primarily driven by growth in average interest earning assets, led by continued growth in the loans held-for-investment portfolio.

Net interest margin expanded 33 basis points to 3.09 percent , as compared to 2.76 percent , primarily due to growth in our commercial loan portfolio partially offset by higher average rates on deposits. Loans held-for-investment saw a 53 basis point increase in average yield, primarily due to higher yields on our commercial loans, driven by increases in rates during 2018. In comparison, our deposit costs, benefiting from the low-cost deposits acquired from our 2018 branch acquisitions, increased only 20 basis points . Excluding the acquired deposits, our deposit costs increased 31 basis points representing a deposit beta of 31 percent . As a result, our net interest margin benefited as our loan yields increased more quickly than our deposit costs in a rising rate environment. Additionally, net interest margin benefited from a $2.4 billion decrease in FHLB advances, which were significantly reduced with proceeds from the Wells Fargo branch acquisition.
Average interest-earning assets increased $940 million primarily due to growth in LHFI average balances partially offset by a decrease in LHFS average balances. Average commercial loans increased $1.0 billion with broad-based growth across the CRE, C&I, and warehouse loan portfolios. The warehouse lending acquisition in the first quarter of 2018 further contributed to the commercial loan growth. Our consumer loan portfolio increased $677 million , primarily due to the addition of residential first mortgages to the LHFI portfolio combined with continued growth in our non-auto indirect lending business. The LHFS portfolio decreased $965 million primarily due to 30 percent lower mortgage originations driven primarily by the decline in overall market volume.
Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $469 million . This was primarily due to a $2.4 billion reduction in FHLB advances partially offset by a $2.0 billion increase in average interest-bearing deposits primarily led by the deposits acquired from the Wells Fargo and DCB branch acquisitions in 2018. The decline in average interest-bearing liabilities

8


was more than offset by growth in noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased $1.6 billion , primarily driven by higher custodial deposits.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was zero for both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The lack of provision reflects our continued strong asset quality with consistently low-levels of charge-offs and delinquencies, no nonperforming commercial loans, and growth of the portfolio in areas we believe to pose lower levels of credit risk. For further information on the provision for loan losses see MD&A - Credit Quality.

Fallout-adjusted refers to mortgage rate lock commitments which are adjusted by estimates of the percentage of mortgage loans in the pipeline that are not expected to close based on our historical experience and impact of changes in interest rates.
(2)
Gain on sale margin is based on net gain on loan sales (excludes net gain on loan sales of $2 million from loans transferred from LHFI during the three months ended March 31, 2019) to fallout-adjusted mortgage rate lock commitments.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Noninterest income de creased $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 , primarily due to the following:

Net gain on loan sales de creased $11 million , primarily due to a $1.1 billion decrease in fallout-adjusted rate locks and a 5 basis point decrease in net gain on loan sale margin. The decrease in gain on sale margin was primarily driven by a shift in channel mix toward the lower margin, but lower cost, delegated correspondent channel and the decrease in volume was primarily driven by overall lower mortgage market volume.
Loan administration income increased $6 million , primarily due to higher subservicing income driven by a 450,000 increase in the number of loans subserviced.
Deposit fees and charges increased $3 million , driven by growth in our customer and deposit base as a result of our 2018 branch acquisitions.
Net return on MSRs, including the impact of hedges, increased $2 million , primarily due to increased service fee income as a result of a higher average MSR balance.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

Noninterest expense in creased $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The increase in expense was primarily driven by growth in our community banking business as a result of our 2018 banking acquisitions and organic growth in our servicing business. Compared to the first quarter of 2019, retail demand deposit accounts increased 63 percent , our depreciable asset base grew as we added 52 branches, and the number of loans we service or subservice increased by 485,000 loans, or 102 percent . To support this growth, we also made enhancements and improvements to our information technology platforms over the past year which has resulted in higher amortization. The following provides further information related to the increase in noninterest expense:

Compensation and benefits increased $7 million , or 9 percent , primarily due to 9 percent higher average FTE driven by our 2018 banking acquisitions.
Occupancy and equipment and other noninterest expense increased $8 million and $3 million , respectively, primarily driven by growth in our banking and servicing businesses as discussed above.
Intangible asset amortization increased $4 million , due to the amortization of the intangible assets associated with our 2018 banking acquisitions.
Commissions decreased $5 million , or 28 percent , primarily due to a 30 percent decline in loan origination volume driven by lower mortgage market volume.
Loan processing expense increased $3 million , primarily due to higher loan subservicing expenses resulting from growth in our subservicing business.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $8 million , compared to a provision of $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 18.4 percent compared to 20.1 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . Our effective tax rate differs from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to non-taxable bank owned life insurance and other tax-exempt earnings, partially offset by nondeductible expenses.

Operating Segments

Our operations are conducted through three operating segments: Community Banking, Mortgage Originations, and Mortgage Servicing. The Other segment includes the remaining reported activities. The operating segments have been determined based on the products and services offered and reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Each of the operating segments is complementary to each other and because of the interrelationships

10



of the segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.

For detail on each segment's objectives, strategies, and priorities, please read this section in conjunction with Note  18 - Segment Information.    

Community Banking

Our Community Banking segment services commercial, governmental and consumer customers in our banking footprint which spans throughout Michigan, Indiana, California, Wisconsin, Ohio and contiguous states. We also serve home builders, correspondents, and commercial customers on a national basis. The Community Banking segment originates loans, and provides deposit and fee based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers.

Our commercial customers are comprised of a diversified range of industries including financial, insurance, service, manufacturing, and distribution. We offer financial products to these customers for use in their normal business operations, as well as providing financing of working capital, capital investments, and equipment. Additionally, our commercial real estate business supports income producing real estate and home builders. The Community Banking segment also offers warehouse lines of credit to non-bank mortgage lenders.

Our Community Banking segment has seen continued growth, both organically and through strategic acquisitions. In the last 12 months, our commercial and consumer loan portfolios have grown 21 percent and 23 percent to $5.6 billion and $4.3 billion , respectively. Average deposits, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 have increased to $10.0 billion , compared to $7.7 billion , for the same period in 2018. The DCB and Wells Fargo branch acquisitions in 2018 expanded our banking footprint and added $2.1 billion in average deposits to the Community Banking segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 . For further information on our banking acquisitions, see Note 2 - Acquisitions.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The Community Banking segment reported net income of $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to $16 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The $10 million increase in net income was primarily due to a $34 million increase in net interest income, primarily driven by $1.7 billion higher average LHFI due to organic growth in both our commercial and consumer loan portfolios, enhanced by our 2018 banking acquisitions. To support our investments relating to organic growth, acquisitions, and the diversification of our product offerings, our operating costs increased $22 million , primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits, intangible asset amortization, and occupancy and equipment.


11



Mortgage Originations

We are a leading national originator of residential first mortgages. Our Mortgage Origination segment originates and acquires one-to-four family residential mortgage loans primarily to sell, or in some instances, to hold in our LHFI portfolio in the Community Banking segment. We originate certain mortgage loans, including jumbo and non-conforming loans, for our LHFI portfolio which generates interest income in the Community Banking segment. The Community Banking segment purchases these loans from the Mortgage Origination segment which results in the recognition of a gain on loan sales by the Mortgage Origination segment and a loss on loan sales in the Community Banking segment. We utilize multiple distribution channels to originate or acquire mortgage loans on a national scale.

Fallout adjusted refers to mortgage rate lock commitments which are adjusted by a percentage of mortgage loans in the pipeline that are not expected to close based on our historical experience and the impact of changes in interest rates.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The Mortgage Originations segment reported net income of $19 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018 . Net interest income decreased $8 million primarily due to a decrease of $965 million in average LHFS balances. Net gain on loans sales decreased $7 million driven by $1.1 billion fewer fallout-adjusted locks and a 5 basis point decline in net gain on loan sale margin. The decrease in volume was primarily driven by overall lower mortgage market volume and the lower margin was primarily driven by a shift in channel mix toward the lower margin, but lower cost, delegated correspondent channel. The decrease in net gain on loan sales was partially offset by a $2 million increase in net return on MSRs, primarily due to increased service fee income as a result of a higher average MSR balance. In addition, noninterest expense decreased $10 million primarily due to lower mortgage volume related expenses and a decrease in compensation and benefits resulting from lower average FTE.

Mortgage Servicing
    
The Mortgage Servicing segment services loans when we hold the MSR asset, and subservices mortgage loans for others through a scalable servicing platform on a fee for service basis. We may also collect ancillary fees and earn income through the use of noninterest bearing escrows. The loans we service generate custodial deposits which provide a stable funding source which supports interest-earning asset generation in the Community Bank and Mortgage Origination segments. Revenue for serviced and subserviced loans is earned on a contractual fee basis, with the fees varying based on our responsibilities and the delinquency status of the underlying loans. The Mortgage Servicing segment also services loans for our LHFI portfolio in the Community Banking segment and our own MSR portfolio in the Mortgage Originations segment for which it earns intersegment revenue on a fee per loan basis.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The Mortgage Servicing segment reported net income of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to a net loss of $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The $6 million increase in net income was primarily due to growth in our subservicing business, which increased by over 450,000 loans, or 126 percent , for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The overall increase in loan servicing volume drove higher noninterest income, including a $15 million increase in loan administration income, partially offset by an $11 million increase in noninterest expense to support growth in volume.

Other

The Other segment includes the treasury functions, which include the impact of interest rate risk management, balance sheet funding activities and the investment securities portfolios, as well as other expenses of a corporate nature, including corporate staff, risk management, and legal expenses. In addition, the Other segment includes revenue and expenses not directly assigned or allocated to the Community Banking, Mortgage Originations or Mortgage Servicing segments.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter

The Other segment reported net loss of $11 million , for the three months ended March 31, 2019 , compared to net income of $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The $15 million decrease was primarily driven by a $7 million reduction in net interest income resulting from higher short-term interest rates driving an increase in intersegment funding rates and a $3 million increase in compensation and benefits driven by a 14 percent increase in average FTE.

Risk Management

Certain risks are inherent in our business and include, but are not limited to, credit, regulatory compliance, legal, reputation, liquidity, market, operational, and strategic. We continuously invest in our risk management activities which are focused on ensuring we properly identify, measure and manage such risks across the entire enterprise to maintain safety and soundness and maximize profitability. We hold capital to protect from unexpected loss arising from these risks.

A comprehensive discussion of risks affecting us can be found in the Risk Factors section included in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Some of the more significant processes used to manage and control credit, market, liquidity and operational risks are described in the following paragraphs.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss to us arising from an obligor’s inability or failure to meet contractual payment or performance terms. We provide loans, extend credit, and enter into financial derivative contracts, all of which have related credit risk.

We maintain credit limits in compliance with regulatory requirements. Under the Home Owners Loan Act (HOLA), the Bank may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15 percent of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital plus any portion of the allowance for loan losses not included in the Tier 2 capital. This limit was $266 million as of March 31, 2019 . We maintain a more conservative maximum internal Bank credit limit than required by HOLA of $100 million to any one borrower/obligor relationship, with the exception of warehouse borrower/obligor relationships which have a higher internal Bank limit of $125 million as all advances are fully collateralized by residential mortgage loans. We have a tracking and reporting process to monitor lending concentration levels and all credit exposures to a single borrower that exceed $50 million must be approved by the Board of Directors.

14




Our commercial loan portfolio has been built on our relationship-based lending strategy. We provide financing and banking products to our commercial customers in our core banking footprint and will follow those established customer relationships to meet their financing needs in areas outside of our footprint. We have also formed relationship lending on a national scale through our home builder finance and warehouse lending businesses. At March 31, 2019 , we had $5.6 billion in our commercial loan portfolio with our home builder finance and warehouse lending businesses accounting for 43 percent of the total. Of the remaining commercial loans in our portfolio, the majority of CRE and C&I loans were with customers who have established relationships within our core banking footprint. For all of our commercial loans, we use strict underwriting standards and adhere to granular concentration limits to manage the credit risk in our portfolio.

We have built our consumer loan portfolio by adding high quality first mortgage loans to our balance sheet making up 71.6 percent of our total consumer loan portfolio at March 31, 2019. We have also grown our home equity loans and lines of credit as well as our other consumer loan portfolio, led by our non-auto indirect lending business. The consumer loan portfolio has been built on strong underwriting criteria and within concentration limits intended to diversify our risk profile.

Our commercial loan portfolio has grown $563 million , or 11 percent , from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 , driven by broad-based growth in all categories. In addition, our consumer loan portfolio has increased $285 million , or 7 percent , from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 , led by a $119 million increase in other consumer loans, primarily due to growth in our indirect lending business, and a $101 million increase in residential first mortgage loans.
    
Residential first mortgage loans. We originate or purchase various types of conforming and non-conforming fixed and adjustable rate loans underwritten using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing owner occupied and second home properties. We typically hold certain mortgage loans in LHFI that do not qualify for sale to the Agencies or that have an acceptable yield and risk profile. The LTV requirements on our residential first mortgage loans vary depending on occupancy, property type, loan amount, and FICO scores. Loans with LTVs exceeding 80 percent are required to obtain mortgage insurance.

Home equity. Our home equity portfolio includes HELOANs, second mortgage loans, and HELOCs. These loans require full documentation and are underwritten and priced in an effort to ensure credit quality and loan profitability. Our debt-to-income ratio on HELOANs is capped at 43 percent and for HELOCs is capped at 45 percent. We currently limit the maximum CLTV to 89.99 percent and FICO scores to a minimum of 660. Second mortgage loans/HELOANs are fixed rate loans and are available with terms up to 20 years. HELOC loans are variable-rate loans that contain a 10-year interest only draw period followed by a 20-year amortizing period. At March 31, 2019 , HELOCs and HELOANs in a first lien position totaled $131 million .

Other consumer loans. Our other consumer loan portfolio consists of secured and unsecured loans originated through our branches and our indirect lending business. At March 31, 2019 , other consumer loans increased to $433 million compared to $314 million at December 31, 2018 . The increase is primarily due to growth in our non-auto indirect lending business, driven by our established relationships with dealers for the origination of boat and recreational vehicle consumer loans, combined with the purchase of a $51 million UPB of non-auto loans during the three months ended March 31, 2019 .

Commercial real estate loans. The commercial real estate portfolio contains loans collateralized by diversified property types which are primarily income producing in the normal course of business. The majority of our retail exposure is to neighborhood strip centers and single tenant locations, which include drug stores. Generally, the maximum LTV is 80 percent, or 85 percent for owner-occupied real estate, and the debt service coverage is 1.20 to 1.35 times. At March 31, 2019 , our

16



average LTV and average debt service coverage for our CRE portfolio was 52 percent and 1.75 times, respectively. Our CRE loans earn interest at a variable rate.

We have an established a national home builder finance program and at March 31, 2019 , our commercial portfolio contained $1.6 billion in commitments, with $779 million in outstanding loans. The majority of these loans are collateralized and included in our CRE portfolio while the remaining loans are unsecured and included in our C&I portfolio.

Warehouse lending. We have a national platform with relationship managers across the country. We offer warehouse lines of credit to other mortgage lenders which allow the lender to fund the closing of residential mortgage loans. Each extension, advance, or draw-down on the line is fully collateralized by residential mortgage loans and is paid off when the lender sells the loan to an outside investor or, in some instances, to the Bank.

Underlying mortgage loans are predominantly originated using the Agencies' underwriting standards. The guideline for debt to tangible net worth is 15 to 1. The aggregate committed amount of adjustable-rate warehouse lines of credit granted to other mortgage lenders at March 31, 2019 was $3.9 billion , of which $1.6 billion was outstanding, compared to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2018 , of which $1.5 billion was outstanding.

Credit Quality

Trends in certain credit quality characteristics in our loan portfolios, remain strong and are a result of our focus on effectively managing credit risk through our careful underwriting standards and processes. The credit quality of our loan portfolios is demonstrated by low delinquency levels, minimal charge-offs and low levels of nonperforming loans.

For all loan categories within the consumer and commercial loan portfolio, loans are placed on nonaccrual status when any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due (or nonperforming), or earlier when we become aware of information indicating that collection of principal and interest is in doubt. While it is the goal of management to collect on loans, we attempt to work out a satisfactory repayment schedule or modification with past due borrowers and will undertake foreclosure proceedings if the delinquency is not satisfactorily resolved. Our practices regarding past due loans are designed to both assist borrowers in meeting their contractual obligations and minimize losses incurred by the Bank. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the unpaid accrued interest income is reversed. Loans return to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully collectible.

Troubled debt restructurings (held-for-investment)

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are modified loans in which a borrower demonstrates financial difficulties and for which a concession has been granted as a result. Nonperforming TDRs are included in nonaccrual loans. TDRs remain in nonperforming status until a borrower has made payments and is current for at least six consecutive months. Performing TDRs are not considered to be nonaccrual so long as we believe that all contractual principal and interest due under the restructured terms will be collected.

At March 31, 2019 our total TDR loans decreased $1 million compared to December 31, 2018 primarily due to principal payments and payoffs out-pacing new additions. Of our total TDR loans, 82 percent were in performing status at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . For further information, see Note 5 - Loans Held-for-Investment.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The ALLL represents management's estimate of probable losses that are inherent in our LHFI portfolio but which have not yet been realized. For further information, see Note  5 - Loans Held-for-Investment.

The ALLL was $127 million at March 31, 2019 , compared to $128 million at December 31, 2018 . The ALLL as a percentage of LHFI was 1.3 percent at March 31, 2019 compared to 1.4 percent at December 31, 2018 . These decreases are attributable to continued strong credit quality, as loan growth in both the consumer and commercial loan portfolios consists of high credit quality assets, combined with sustained low charge-off levels. At March 31, 2019 , we had a 1.3 percent allowance coverage on both our consumer loan portfolio and our commercial loan portfolio.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of reduced earnings and/or declines in the net market value of the balance sheet due to changes in market rates. Our primary market risk is interest rate risk which impacts our net interest income, fee income related to interest sensitive activities such as mortgage origination and servicing income, and loan and deposit demand.

We are subject to interest rate risk due to:

The maturity or repricing of assets and liabilities at different times or for different amounts
Differences in short-term and long-term market interest rate changes
The remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change

Our Asset/Liability Committee ("ALCO"), which is composed of our executive officers and certain members of other management, monitors interest rate risk on an on-going basis in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. The ALCO reviews interest rate positions and considers the impact projected interest rate scenarios have on earnings, capital, liquidity, business strategies, and other factors. However, management has the latitude to change interest rate positions within certain limits if, in management's judgment, the change will enhance profitability or minimize risk.

To assess and manage interest rate risk, sensitivity analysis is used to determine the impact on earnings and the net market value of the balance sheet across various interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends, and strategies.

Net interest income sensitivity

Management uses a simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates across various interest rate scenarios which demonstrates the level of interest rate risk inherent in the existing balance sheet. The analysis holds the current balance sheet values constant and does not take into account management intervention. In addition, we assume certain correlation rates, often referred to as a “deposit beta,” for interest-bearing deposits, wherein the rates paid to customers change relative to changes in benchmark interest rates. The effect on net interest income over a 12 month time horizon due to hypothetical changes in market interest rates is presented in the table below. In this interest rate shock simulation, as of the periods presented, interest rates have been adjusted by instantaneous parallel changes rather than in a ramp simulation which applies interest rate changes over time. All rates, short-term and long-term, are changed by the same amount (e.g. plus or minus 200 basis points) resulting in the shape of the yield curve remaining unchanged. For the scenarios simulated, our established Board policy limit on the change in net interest income is 15 percent . At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the results of the simulation were within the Board policy limits.

In the net interest income simulations, our balance sheet exhibits slight asset sensitivity. When interest rates rise our net interest income increases. Conversely, when interest rates fall our net interest income decreases. At March 31, 2019 , the $53 million increase in the net interest income in the constant scenario as compared to that at December 31, 2018 was primarily driven by the growth in our interest earning assets.

The net interest income sensitivity analysis has certain limitations and makes various assumptions. Key elements of this interest rate risk exposure assessment include maintaining a static balance sheet and parallel rate shocks. Future interest rates not moving in a parallel manner across the yield curve, how the balance sheet will respond and shift based on a change in future interest rates and how the Company will respond are not included in this analysis and limit the predictive value of these scenarios.

Economic value of equity

Management also utilizes Economic Value of Equity (EVE), a point in time analysis of the economic value of our current balance sheet position, which measures interest rate risk over a longer term. The EVE calculation represents a hypothetical valuation of equity, and is defined as the market value of assets, less the market value of liabilities, adjusted for the market value of off-balance sheet instruments. The assessment of both short-term earnings (Net Interest Income Sensitivity) and long-term valuation (EVE) approaches provides a more comprehensive analysis of interest rate risk exposure than Net Interest Income Sensitivity alone.
 
There are assumptions and inherent limitations in any methodology used to estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates and as such, sensitivity calculations used in this analysis are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future results. This analysis evaluates risks to the current balance sheet only and does not incorporate future growth assumptions. Additionally, the analysis assumes interest rate changes are instantaneous and the new rate environment is constant but does not include actions management may undertake to manage risk in response to interest rate changes. Each rate scenario reflects unique prepayment and repricing assumptions. Management derives these assumptions by considering published market prepayment expectations, repricing characteristics, our historical experience, and our asset and liability management strategy. This analysis assumes that changes in interest rates may not affect or could partially affect certain instruments based on their characteristics.

The following table is a summary of the changes in our EVE that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates as well as our internal policy limits for changes in our EVE based on the different scenarios. The interest rates, as of the dates presented, are adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate increases and decreases as indicated in the scenarios shown in the table below.

Our balance sheet exhibits liability sensitivity in a rising interest rate scenario. The decrease in EVE is the result of the amount of liabilities that would be expected to reprice exceeding the amount of assets repriced in the +200 scenario. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , for each scenario shown, the percentage change in our EVE is within our Board policy limits.

Derivative financial instruments

As a part of our risk management strategy, we use derivative financial instruments to minimize fluctuation in earnings caused by market risk. We use forward sales commitments to hedge our unclosed mortgage origination pipeline and funded mortgage LHFS. All of our derivatives and mortgage loan production originated for sale are accounted for at fair market value. Changes to mortgage commitments are based on changes in fair value of the underlying loan, which is impacted most significantly by changes in interest rates and changes in the probability that the loan will not fund within the terms of the commitment, referred to as a fallout factor or, inversely, a pull-through rate. Market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage LHFS is managed using corresponding forward sale commitments. The adequacy of these hedging strategies, and the ability to fully or partially hedge market risk, rely on various assumptions or projections, including a fallout factor, which is based on a statistical analysis of our actual rate lock fallout history. For further information, see Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs)

Our MSRs are sensitive to interest rate volatility and are highly susceptible to prepayment risk, basis risk, market volatility and changes in the shape of the yield curve. We utilize derivatives, including interest rate swaps and swaptions, as part of our overall hedging strategy to manage the impact of changes in the fair value of the MSRs, however these risk management strategies do not completely eliminate repricing risk. Our hedging strategies rely on assumptions and projections regarding assets and general market factors, many of which are outside of our control. For further information, see Note 8 - Mortgage Servicing Rights, Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not have sufficient funds, at a reasonable cost, to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects the ability to, at a reasonable cost, meet loan demand, to accommodate possible outflows in deposits and to take advantage of interest rate and market opportunities. The ability of a financial institution to meet current financial obligations is a function of the balance sheet structure, the ability to liquidate assets, and access to various sources of funds.

Parent Company Liquidity

The Company currently obtains its liquidity primarily from dividends from the Bank. The primary uses of the Company's liquidity are debt service, dividend payments and operating expenses, which include compensation and benefits, legal and professional expense and general administrative expenses. At March 31, 2019 , the Company held $138 million of cash at the Bank, or 2.9 years of future cash outflows, dividend payments, share repurchases and debt service coverage when excluding the redemption of $250 million of senior notes which mature on July 15, 2021.

The OCC and FRB regulates all capital distributions made by the Bank, directly or indirectly, to the holding company, including dividend payments. A subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Bank, is required to file a notice with the FRB or application with the OCC at least 30 days prior to each proposed capital distribution. Whether an application is required is based on a number of factors including whether the institution qualifies as an eligible association under the OCC rules and regulations, the institution would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution or if the total amount of all capital distributions (including each proposed capital distribution) for the applicable calendar year exceeds net income for that year to date plus the retained net income for the preceding two years. Additional restrictions on dividends apply if the Bank fails the QTL test. As of March 31, 2019 , the bank is in compliance with the QTL test. In addition, as a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, a 30-day notice from the Bank must be provided to the FRB prior to declaring or paying dividends to the holding company.

Bank Liquidity
    
Our primary sources of funding are deposits from retail and government customers, custodial deposits related to loans we service and FHLB borrowings. We use the FHLB of Indianapolis as a significant source for funding our residential mortgage origination business due to the flexibility in terms which allows us to borrow or repay borrowings as daily cash needs require. The amount we can borrow, or the value we receive for the assets pledged to our liquidity providers, varies based on the amount and type of pledged collateral, as well as the perceived market value of the assets and the "haircut" of the market value of the assets. That value is sensitive to the pricing and policies of our liquidity providers and can change with little or no notice.

Further, other sources of liquidity include our LHFS portfolio and unencumbered investment securities. We primarily originate agency-eligible LHFS and therefore the majority of new residential first mortgage loan originations are readily convertible to cash, either by selling them as part of our monthly agency sales, RMBS, private party whole loan sales, or by pledging them to the FHLB and borrowing against them. In addition, we have the ability to sell unencumbered investment securities or use them as collateral. At March  31, 2019 , we had $ 1.0 billion available in unencumbered investment securities.

Our liquidity position is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. We balance the liquidity of our loan assets to our available funding sources. Our LHFI portfolio is primarily funded with stable core deposits whereas our warehouse loans and LHFS may be funded with FHLB borrowings and custodial deposits. Warehouse loans are typically more liquid than other loan assets, as loans are paid within a short amount of time, when the lender sells the loan to an outside investor or, in some instances, to the Bank. As not all asset categories require the same level of liquidity, our loan-to-deposit ratio shows how we manage our liquidity position, how much liquidity we have and the agility of our balance sheet. The Company's HFI loan-to-deposit ratio was 71 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Excluding warehouse loans, which have draws that typically pay off within a few weeks, and custodial deposits, which represent mortgage escrow accounts on deposit with the Bank, the HFI loan-to-deposit ratio was 77 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

As governed and defined by our Board liquidity policy, we maintain adequate excess liquidity levels appropriate to cover unanticipated liquidity needs. In addition to this liquidity, we also maintain targeted minimum levels of unused borrowing capacity as another cushion against unexpected liquidity needs. Each business day, we forecast 90 days of daily cash needs. This allows us to determine our projected near term daily cash fluctuations and also to plan and adjust, if necessary, future activities. As a result, in an adverse environment, we would be able to make adjustments to operations as required to meet the liquidity needs of our business, including adjusting deposit rates to increase deposits, planning for additional FHLB borrowings, accelerating sales of LHFS (agencies and/or private), selling LHFI or investment securities, borrowing through the use of repurchase agreements, reducing originations, making changes to warehouse funding facilities, or borrowing from the discount window.    
    
Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity.

(1)
The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit with a minimum denomination of $100,000 was approximately $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.
(2)
Contains deposits from commercial and business banking customers.
(3)
Represents investor custodial accounts and escrows controlled by us in connection with loans serviced or subserviced for others that have been placed on deposit with the Bank.
(4)
Total exposure related to uninsured deposits over $250,000 was approximately $3.0 billion and $2.8 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

Total deposits increased $1.1 billion , or 9 percent at March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 , driven by $1.0 billion higher custodial deposits primarily due to a 485,000 , or 102 percent , increase in number of loans serviced or subserviced.

We utilize local governmental agencies and other public units as an additional source for deposit funding. We are not required to hold collateral against our government deposits from Michigan government entities as they are covered by the Michigan Business and Growth Fund. At March 31, 2019 , we are required to hold collateral for our government deposits in California that were in excess of $250,000. In Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio, we may be required to hold collateral against our government deposits based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the size of individual deposits and external bank ratings. At March 31, 2019 , collateral held on government deposits in these states was de minimis. Government deposit accounts include $321 million of certificates of deposit with maturities typically less than one year and $866 million in checking and savings accounts at March 31, 2019 .

Custodial deposits arise due to our servicing or subservicing of loans for others and represent the portion of the investor custodial accounts on deposit with the Bank. For certain subservice agreements, these deposits require us to credit the MSR owner interest against subservicing income. This cost is a component of net loan administration income.

We participate in the CDARS program, through which certain customer CDs are exchanged for CDs of similar amounts from other participating banks and customers may receive FDIC insurance up to $50 million. This program helps the Bank secure larger deposits and attract and retain customers. At March 31, 2019 , we had $184 million of total CDs enrolled in the CDARS program, an increase of $7 million from December 31, 2018 .


26



FHLB Advances

The FHLB provides loans, also referred to as advances, on a fully collateralized basis, to savings banks and other member financial institutions. We are required to maintain a minimum amount of qualifying collateral securing FHLB advances. In the event of default, the FHLB advance is similar to a secured borrowing, whereby the FHLB has the right to sell the pledged collateral to settle the fair value of the outstanding advances.

We rely upon advances from the FHLB as a source of funding for the origination or purchase of loans for sale in the secondary market and for providing duration specific short-term and long-term financing. The outstanding balance of FHLB advances fluctuates from time to time depending on our current inventory of mortgage LHFS and the availability of lower cost funding sources. Our portfolio includes short-term fixed rate advances and long-term fixed rate advances.

We are currently authorized through a resolution of our Board of Directors to apply for advances from the FHLB using approved loan types as collateral, which includes residential first mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, and commercial real estate loans. As of March 31, 2019 , our Board of Directors authorized and approved a line of credit with the FHLB of up to $10.0 billion , which is further limited based on our total assets and qualified collateral, as determined by the FHLB. At March 31, 2019 , we had $3.1 billion of advances outstanding and an additional $3.0 billion of collateralized borrowing capacity available at the FHLB.

Federal Reserve Discount Window
    
We have arrangements with the FRB of Chicago to borrow from its discount window. The discount window is a borrowing facility that we may utilize for short-term liquidity needs arising from special or unusual circumstances. The amount we are allowed to borrow is based on the lendable value of the collateral that we provide. To collateralize the line, we pledge investment securities and loans that are eligible based on FRB of Chicago guidelines.

At March 31, 2019 , we pledged collateral, which included commercial loans, municipal bonds, and agency bonds, to the FRB of Chicago amounting to $219 million with a lendable value of $194 million . At December 31, 2018 , we pledged collateral to the FRB of Chicago amounting to $448 million with a lendable value of $409 million . We do not typically utilize this available funding source and at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had no borrowings outstanding against this line of credit.

Debt

As part of our overall capital strategy, we previously raised capital through the issuance of junior subordinated notes to our special purpose trusts formed for the offerings, which issued Tier 1 qualifying preferred stock (trust preferred securities). The trust preferred securities are callable by us at any time. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis; however, we may defer interest payments for up to 20 quarters without default or penalty. At March 31, 2019 , we are current on all interest payments. Additionally, we previously issued $250 million of senior debt (“Senior Notes”) which mature on July 15, 2021. For further information, see Note 10 - Borrowings.

Operational Risk

Operational risk is the risk of loss due to human error; inadequate or failed internal systems and controls; violations of, or noncompliance with, laws, rules and regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards; and external influences such as market conditions, fraudulent activities, disasters, and security risks. We continuously strive to adapt our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and regulations, and to improve the oversight of our operational risk.

We evaluate internal systems, processes, and controls to mitigate loss from cyber-attacks and, to date, have not experienced any material losses. The goal of this framework is to implement effective operational risk techniques and strategies, minimize operational and fraud losses, and enhance our overall performance.

Loans with government guarantees

Substantially all of our loans with government guarantees continue to be insured or guaranteed by the FHA or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. In the event of a government guaranteed loan borrower default, Flagstar has a unilateral option to repurchase loans sold to GNMA that are 90 days past due and recover losses through a claims process from the insurer. Nonperforming repurchased loans in this portfolio earn interest at a rate based upon the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rate from the time the underlying loan becomes delinquent, which is not paid by the FHA until claimed. Additionally, if the Bank cures

27



the loan, it can be re-sold to GNMA. If not, the Bank can begin the process of collecting the government guarantee by filing a claim in accordance with established guideline s. Certain loans within our portfolio may be subject to indemnifications and insurance limits which expose us to limited credit risk.

In the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we had zero net charge-offs related to loans with government guarantees and have reserved for the remaining risks within other assets and as a component of our ALLL on residential first mortgages. These additional expenses or charges arise due to insurance limits on VA insured loans and FHA property foreclosure and preservation requirements that may result in a loss in excess of all, or part of, the guarantee.

Our loans with government guarantees portfolio totaled $470 million at March 31, 2019 , as compared to $392 million at December 31, 2018 . The increase is primarily due to new repurchases out-pacing loans transferred to LHFS and resold to Ginnie Mae as a result of holding more Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights.

For further information, see Note 6 - Loans with Government Guarantees.

Representation and warranty reserve

When we sell mortgage loans, we make customary representations and warranties to the purchasers, including sponsored securitization trusts and their insurers (primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). An estimate of the fair value of the guarantee associated with the mortgage loans is recorded in other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, which was $5 million at March 31, 2019 , as compared to $7 million at December 31, 2018 .

Regulatory Risks

Supervisory Agreement

The Supervisory Agreement originally dated January 27, 2010, was lifted by the Federal Reserve on August 14, 2018. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Supervisory Agreement, please refer to the copy of the Supervisory Agreement filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our 2016 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Department of Justice Settlement Agreement

On February 24, 2012, the Bank entered into a Settlement Agreement with the DOJ under which we made an initial payment of $15 million and agreed to make future payments totaling $118 million in annual increments of up to $25 million upon meeting all of the following conditions which are evaluated quarterly and include: (a) the reversal of the DTA valuation allowance, which occurred at the end of 2013; (b) the repayment of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the "TARP Preferred"), which occurred in July 2016; and (c) the Bank having a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 11 percent or greater as filed in the Call Report with the OCC. At March 31, 2019 , the Company had a Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio of 9.04 percent .

No payment would be required until six months after the Bank files its Call Report first reporting that its Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio was 11 percent or greater. If all other conditions were then satisfied, an initial annual payment of $25 million would be due at that time. The next annual payment is only made if all conditions continue to be satisfied, otherwise payments are delayed until all such conditions are again met. Further, making such a payment must not violate any material banking regulatory requirement, and the OCC must not object in writing.
The combination of (a) future dividends from the Bank to Bancorp and (b) continued growth in earning assets at the Bank are expected to continue to limit the growth rate of the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio, which could have an impact on the timing of expected cash flows under the Settlement Agreement.

Consistent with our business and regulatory requirements, Flagstar shall seek in good faith to fulfill the conditions, and will not undertake any conduct or fail to take any action the purpose of which is to frustrate or delay our ability to fulfill any of the conditions.

Additionally, if the Bank or Bancorp become party to a business combination in which the Bank and Bancorp represent less than 33.3 percent of the resulting company’s assets, annual payments would commence twelve months after the date of that business combination.


28



The Settlement Agreement meets the definition of a financial instrument for which we elected the fair value option. We consider the assumptions a market participant would make to transfer the liability and evaluate the potential ways we might satisfy the Settlement Agreement and our estimates of the likelihood of these outcomes, which may change over time. The fair value of the liability is subject to significant uncertainty and is impacted by forecasted estimates of the timing of potential payments, which are impacted by estimates of equity, earnings, timing and amount of dividends and growth of the balance sheet and their related impacts on forecasted Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio, the likelihood of the Bank or Bancorp being a party to a business combination resulting in terms which would require payments to commence, or any other means by which a payment could be made. For further information on the fair value of the liability, see Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements.

Capital
    
Management actively reviews and manages our capital position and strategy. We conduct quarterly capital stress tests and capital adequacy assessments which utilize internally defined scenarios. These analyses are designed to help management and the Board better understand the integrated sensitivity of various risk exposures through quantifying the potential financial and capital impacts of hypothetical stressful events and scenarios. We make adjustments to our balance sheet composition taking into consideration potential business risks, regulatory requirements and the flexibility to support future growth. We prudently manage our capital position and work with our regulators to ensure that our capital levels are appropriate considering our risk profile.

The capital standards we are subject to include requirements contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Act as well as guidelines reached by Basel III. These risk-based capital adequacy guidelines are intended to measure capital adequacy with regard to a banking organization’s balance sheet, including off-balance sheet exposures such as unused portions of loan commitments, letters of credit, and recourse arrangements. Our capital ratios are maintained at levels in excess of those considered to be "well-capitalized" by regulators. Tier 1 leverage was 8.37 percent at March 31, 2019 providing a 337 basis point stress buffer above the minimum level needed to be considered “well-capitalized.” Additionally, total risk-based capital to RWA was 12.49 percent at March 31, 2019 providing a 249 basis point stress buffer above the minimum level needed to be considered "well-capitalized".

Dodd-Frank Act Section 171, commonly known as the Collins Amendment, established minimum Tier 1 leverage and risk-based capital requirements for insured depository institutions, depository institution holding companies, and non-bank financial companies that are supervised under the Federal Reserve. Under the amendment, certain hybrid securities, such as trust preferred securities, may be included in Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies that had total assets below $15 billion as of December 31, 2009. As we were below $15 billion in assets as of December 31, 2009, the trust preferred securities classified as long term debt on our balance sheet will be included as Tier 1 capital, unless we complete an acquisition of a depository institution holding company or a depository institution and we report total assets greater than $15 billion in the quarter in which the acquisition occurs. Should that event occur, our trust preferred securities would be included in Tier 2 capital.

Regulatory Capital Simplification

The Bank and Flagstar have been subject to the capital requirements of the Basel III rules since January 1, 2015. On October 27, 2017, the agencies issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (“NPR”) which would simplify certain aspects of the Basel III capital rules. The agencies expect that the capital treatment and transition provisions for items covered by this final rule will change once the simplification proposal is finalized and effective. Specifically, the proposal would increase the individual limit on MSRs and temporary difference DTAs to 25 percent of CET1 and eliminate the aggregate 15 percent CET1 deduction threshold for MSRs and temporary difference DTAs. In response to comments received from bankers and trade associations, the regulators may change these proposed rules prior to issuing them and it is uncertain when the rules will be issued in their final form. We are currently managing our capital in anticipation of the approval of the proposed rule.

For the period presented, the following table sets forth our capital ratios under the current rules and proposed capital simplification rules, as well as our excess capital over well-capitalized minimums under both rules.

Excess capital is the difference between the actual capital ratios under either the current rule or the proposed capital simplification rules and the well-capitalized minimum ratio, multiplied by the relevant asset base.
     
As presented in the table above, our constraining capital ratio is our total capital to risk weighted assets at 12.49 percent . It would take a $329 million after-tax loss, with the balance sheet remaining constant, for our total risk-based capital ratio to fall below the level considered to be "well-capitalized" under the current rule and an after-tax loss of $380 million , under the proposed capital simplification rules.

     In preparation for the NPR, the Basel III implementation phase-in has been halted for the treatment of MSRs and certain DTAs. The agencies issued a final rule that will maintain the capital rules’ 2017 transition provisions for several regulatory capital deductions and certain other requirements that are subject to multi-year phase-in schedules in the regulatory capital rules. Specifically, the final rule will maintain the capital rules’ 2017 transition provisions at 80 percent for the regulatory capital treatment of the following items: (i) MSRs, (ii) DTAs arising from temporary differences that could not be realized through net operating loss carrybacks, (iii) investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions, and (iv) minority interests. As of March 31, 2019 , we had $278 million in MSRs, $40 million in DTAs arising from temporary differences and no material investments in unconsolidated financial institutions or minority interest. This final rule will maintain the 2017 transition provisions for certain items for non-advanced approach banks. For additional information on our capital requirements, see Note  15 - Regulatory Capital.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to assets ratio, and return on average tangible equity. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide additional information that is useful to investors in helping to understand the underlying performance and trends of the Company.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, which are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. Readers should be aware of these limitations and should be cautious with respect to the use of such measures. To mitigate these limitations, we have practices in place to ensure that these measures are calculated using the appropriate GAAP or regulatory components in their entirety and to ensure that our performance is properly reflected to facilitate consistent period-to-period comparisons. Our method of calculating these non-GAAP measures may differ from methods used by other companies. Although we believe the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this report enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for those financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Where non-GAAP financial measures are used, the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, as well as the reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP or regulatory financial measure, can be found in this report.

Tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to assets ratio, and return on average tangible common equity. The Company believes that tangible book value per share, tangible common equity to assets ratio, and return on average tangible equity provide a meaningful representation of its operating performance on an ongoing basis. Management uses these measures to assess performance of the Company against its peers and evaluate overall performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information for investors, securities analysts and others because it provides a tool to evaluate the Company’s performance on an ongoing basis and compared to its peers.

The following table provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. Certain accounting policies that, due to the judgment, estimates and assumptions are critical to an understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes, are described in Item 1. These policies relate to: (a) the determination of our ALLL; and (b) fair value measurements. We believe the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations and/or financial condition. For further information on our critical accounting policies, please refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is available on our website, flagstar.com, under the Investor Relations section, or on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission, at sec.gov.

Forward – Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q, including but not limited to statements included within the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. In addition, we may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed with or furnished to the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), and our management may make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, representatives of the media, and others.

Generally, forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent management’s current beliefs and expectations regarding future events and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Such statements may be identified by words such as believe, expect, anticipate, intend, plan, estimate, may increase, may fluctuate, and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as will, should, would, and could. Our actual results and capital and other financial conditions may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements depending upon a variety of factors, including without limitation the precautionary statements included within each individual business’ discussion and analysis of our results of operations and the risk factors listed and described in Item 1A. to Part I, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and Item 1A. to Part II, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference herein.

Other than as required under United States securities laws, we do not undertake to update the forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise after the date of the forward-looking statements.

Flagstar Bancorp, Inc.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note  1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. ("Flagstar," or the "Company"), including its wholly owned principal subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, FSB (the "Bank"), have been prepared using U.S. GAAP for interim financial statements. Where we say "we," "us," "our," the "Company," "Bancorp" or "Flagstar," we usually mean Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. However, in some cases, a reference to "we," "us," "our," the "Company" or "Flagstar" will include the Bank.

These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a full year presentation and certain disclosures have been condensed or omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the SEC. These interim financial statements are unaudited and include, in our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods indicated, which are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , which is available on our website, flagstar.com, and on the SEC website, at sec.gov. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Note  2  - Acquisitions

Wells Fargo Branch Acquisition

On November 30, 2018 we closed on the purchase of 52 Wells Fargo branches located in Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio. These branches provide us with high-quality, low-cost deposits, allowing for balance sheet growth and further expansion of our banking footprint.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. We deem the initial valuation of the assets and liabilities to be provisional and have left the measurement period open. These fair values may be adjusted in a future period, not to exceed one year after the acquisition date, to reflect new facts and circumstances which existed as of the acquisition date.

As a result of the transaction, we recognized $58 million of goodwill, which was calculated as the excess of the consideration exchanged and the liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. The goodwill was assigned to our Community Banking segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The CDI represents the value of the relationships with deposit customers and was measured using the income method using a discounted cash flow methodology which gave consideration to the attrition rates, alternative cost of funds, net maintenance cost, and other costs associated with the deposit base. The CDI will be amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately 10 years utilizing an accelerated method.


37



Acquisition costs related to the Wells Fargo branch acquisition were expensed as incurred and amounted to $1 million and $15 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018 , respectively. These costs were recorded in noninterest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and primarily included, integration costs, marketing, legal and consulting fees.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma information as if the acquisition of the Wells Fargo branches had occurred on January 1, 2017. This pro forma information includes certain adjustments and assumptions, including but not limited to, reclassifications from 2018 net income to 2017 net income related to the acquisition-related expenses of $16 million and hedging gains of $29 million . The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the transaction been completed on the assumed date.

There were no securities of a single issuer, which are not governmental or government-sponsored, that exceeded 10 percent of stockholders’ equity at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018 .

We evaluate AFS and HTM investment securities for OTTI on a quarterly basis. An OTTI is considered to have occurred when the fair value of a debt security is below its amortized costs and we (1) have the intent to sell the security, (2) will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, or (3) do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. Investments that have an OTTI are written down through a charge to earnings for the amount representing the credit loss on the security. Gains and losses related to all other factors are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). Agency securities, which are either explicitly or implicitly backed by the federal government, comprised 96 percent of our total securities at March 31, 2019 . This factor is considered when evaluating our investment securities for OTTI. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , we had no OTTI.

Available-for-sale securities
        
Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on AFS securities, to the extent they are temporary in nature, are reported as a component of other comprehensive income
    
We purchased $16 million of AFS securities, which were comprised of U.S. government sponsored agency MBS, certificate of deposits, and corporate debt obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . We purchased $4 million of AFS securities, which included U.S. government sponsored agency MBS, corporate debt obligations, and municipal obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

There were less than $1 million in sales of AFS securities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , which did not include those related to mortgage loans that had been securitized for sale in the normal course of business. We had no realized gains as a result of these sales.

Held-to-maturity securities

Investment securities HTM are carried at amortized cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the interest method. Unrealized losses are not recorded to the extent they are temporary in nature.

There were no purchases or sales of HTM securities during both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 .

We pledge investment securities, primarily agency collateralized and municipal taxable mortgage obligations, to collateralize lines of credit and/or borrowings. At both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had pledged investment securities of $1.9 billion .

Note 4 - Loans Held-for-Sale

The majority of our mortgage loans originated as LHFS are ultimately sold into the secondary market on a whole loan basis or by securitizing the loans into agency, government, or private label mortgage-backed securities. LHFS totaled $3.9 billion at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 . For the three months ended March 31, 2019 we had net gain on loan sales associated with LHFS of $47 million , as compared to $60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 .

40



    
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , $28 million and $137 million , respectively, of LHFS were recorded at lower of cost or fair value. We elected the fair value option for the remainder of the loans in the portfolio.

We have pledged certain LHFI, LHFS, and loans with government guarantees to collateralize lines of credit and/or borrowings with the FHLB of Indianapolis and the FRB of Chicago. At March 31, 2019 we had pledged loans of $6.5 billion , compared to $6.8 billion of pledged loans at December 31, 2018 .

Allowance for Loan Losses

We determine the estimate of the ALLL on at least a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1- Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Standards to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a description of the methodology. The ALLL, other than for loans that have been identified for individual evaluation for impairment, is determined on a loan pool basis by grouping loan types with common risk characteristics to determine our best estimate of incurred losses.

Loans are considered to be past due when any payment of principal or interest is 30 days past the scheduled payment date. While it is the goal of management to collect on loans, we attempt to work out a satisfactory repayment schedule or modification with past due borrowers and will undertake foreclosure proceedings if the delinquency is not satisfactorily resolved. Our practices regarding past due loans are designed to both assist borrowers in meeting their contractual obligations and minimize losses incurred by the Bank.

We cease the accrual of interest on all classes of consumer and commercial loans upon the earlier of, becoming 90 days past due, or when doubt exists as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest (classified as nonaccrual or nonperforming loans). When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued interest income is reversed and the loan may only return to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully collectible.

(2)
Includes $3 million of loans accounted for under the fair value option at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Interest income is recognized on nonaccrual loans using a cash basis method. Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans was less than $1 million at both the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018 . At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had no loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
    
We may modify certain loans in both our consumer and commercial loan portfolios to retain customers or to maximize collection of the outstanding loan balance. Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are modified loans in which a borrower demonstrates financial difficulties and for which a concession has been granted as a result. Nonperforming TDRs are included in nonaccrual loans. TDRs remain in nonperforming status until a borrower has made payments and is current for at least six consecutive months. Performing TDRs are not considered to be nonaccrual so long as we believe that all contractual principal and interest due under the restructured terms will be collected. Performing and nonperforming TDRs remain impaired as interest and principal will not be received in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement. Refer to Note 1- Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Standards to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a description of the methodology used to determine TDRs.

Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, but may give rise to potential incremental losses. We measure impairments using a discounted cash flow method for performing TDRs and measure impairment based on collateral values for nonperforming TDRs.

There was no change in the allowance associated with these TDRs at subsequent default. All TDR classes within the consumer and commercial portfolios are considered subsequently defaulted when greater than 90 days past due within 12 months of the restructuring date.

Credit Quality

We utilize an internal risk rating system which is applied to all consumer and commercial loans. Descriptions of our internal risk ratings as they relate to credit quality follow the ratings used by the U.S. bank regulatory agencies as listed below.

Pass. Pass assets are not impaired nor do they have any known deficiencies that could impact the quality of the asset.

Watch. Watch assets are defined as pass rated assets that exhibit elevated risk characteristics or other factors that deserve management’s close attention and increased monitoring. However, the asset does not exhibit a potential or well-defined weakness that would warrant a downgrade to criticized or adverse classification.

Special mention. Assets identified as special mention possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention. Special mention assets have a potential weakness or pose an unwarranted financial risk that, if

45



not corrected, could weaken the assets and increase risk in the future. Special mention assets are criticized, but do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard . Assets identified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the full collection or liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. For home equity loans and other consumer loans, we evaluate credit quality based on the aging and status of payment activity and any other known credit characteristics that call into question full repayment of the asset. Substandard loans may be placed on either accrual or non-accrual status.

Doubtful . An asset classified as doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. A doubtful asset has a high probability of total or substantial loss, but because of specific pending events that may strengthen the asset, its classification as loss is deferred. Doubtful borrowers are usually in default, lack adequate liquidity or capital, and lack the resources necessary to remain an operating entity. Pending events can include mergers, acquisitions, liquidations, capital injections, the perfection of liens on additional collateral, the valuation of collateral, and refinancing. Generally, pending events should be resolved within a relatively short period and the ratings will be adjusted based on the new information. Due to the high probability of loss, doubtful assets are placed on non-accrual.

Loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that an asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but, rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans consist of open and closed end loans extended to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures, and includes consumer loans, and loans to individuals secured by their personal residence, including first mortgage, home equity, and home improvement loans. Because consumer loans are usually relatively small-balance, homogeneous exposures, consumer loans are rated primarily on payment performance. Payment performance is a proxy for the strength of repayment capacity and loans are generally classified based on their payment status rather than by an individual review of each loan.
In accordance with regulatory guidance, we assign risk ratings to consumer loans in the following manner:
Consumer loans are classified as Watch once the loan becomes 60 days past due.
Open and closed-end consumer loans 90 days or more past due are classified Substandard.

Commercial Loans

Management conducts periodic examinations which serve as an independent verification of the accuracy of the ratings assigned. Loan grades are based on different factors within the borrowing relationship: entity sales, debt service coverage, debt/total net worth, liquidity, balance sheet and income statement trends, management experience, business stability, financing structure, and financial reporting requirements. The underlying collateral is also rated based on the specific type of collateral and corresponding LTV. The combination of the borrower and collateral risk ratings results in the final rating for the borrowing relationship.

Note 6 - Loans with Government Guarantees
    
Substantially all loans with government guarantees are insured or guaranteed by the FHA or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. FHA loans earn interest at a rate based upon the 10 -year U.S. Treasury note rate at the time the underlying loan becomes delinquent, which is not paid by the FHA or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs until claimed. Certain loans within our portfolio may be subject to indemnifications and insurance limits which expose us to limited credit risk. We have reserved for these risks within other assets and as a component of our ALLL on residential first mortgages.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , loans with government guarantees totaled $470 million and $392 million , respectively.
    
Repossessed assets and the associated claims related to government guaranteed loans are recorded in other assets and totaled $53 million and $50 million , at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

Note 7  - Variable Interest Entities

We have no consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

In connection with our securitization activities, we have retained a five percent interest in the investment securities of certain trusts ("other MBS") and are contracted as the subservicer of the underlying loans, compensated based on market rates, which constitutes a continuing involvement in these trusts. Although we have a variable interest in these securitization trusts, we are not their primary beneficiary due to the relative size of our investment in comparison to the total amount of securities issued by the VIE and our inability to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. As a result, we have not consolidated the assets and liabilities of the VIE in our Statements of Financial Condition. The Bank’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to our investment in the VIE, as well as the standard representations and warranties made

47



in conjunction with the loan transfer. See Note 3 - Investment Securities and Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements, for additional information.

In addition, we have a continuing involvement, but are not the primary beneficiary for an unconsolidated VIE related to the FSTAR 2007-1 mortgage securitization trust. In accordance with the settlement agreement with MBIA, there is no further recourse to us related to FSTAR 2007-1, unless MBIA fails to meet their obligations. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the FSTAR 2007-1 mortgage securitization trust included 1,427 loans and 1,513 loans, respectively, with an aggregate principal balance of $46 million and $49 million , respectively.

Note  8 - Mortgage Servicing Rights

We have investments in MSRs that result from the sale of loans to the secondary market for which we retain the servicing. We account for MSRs at their fair value. A primary risk associated with MSRs is the potential reduction in fair value as a result of higher than anticipated prepayments due to loan refinancing prompted, in part, by declining interest rates or government intervention. Conversely, these assets generally increase in value in a rising interest rate environment to the extent that prepayments are slower than anticipated. We utilize derivatives as economic hedges to offset changes in the fair value of the MSRs resulting from the actual or anticipated changes in prepayments stemming from changing interest rate environments. There is also a risk of valuation decline due to higher than expected increases in default rates, which we do not believe can be effectively managed using derivatives. For further information regarding the derivative instruments utilized to manage our MSR risks, see Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments.

Changes in the fair value of residential first mortgage MSRs were as follows:

The sensitivity calculations above are hypothetical and should not be considered to be predictive of future performance. Changes in fair value based on adverse changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. To isolate the effect of the specified change, the fair value shock analysis is consistent with the identified adverse change, while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, a change in one assumption generally impacts other assumptions, which may either magnify or counteract the effect of the change. For further information on the fair value of MSRs, see Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements.

Note  9  - Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Our policy is to present its derivative assets and derivative liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition on a gross basis, even when provisions allowing for set-off are in place. However, for derivative contracts cleared through certain central clearing parties, variation margin payments are recognized as settlements. We are exposed to non-performance risk by the counterparties to our various derivative financial instruments. A majority of our derivatives are centrally cleared through a Central Counterparty Clearing House or consist of residential mortgage interest rate lock commitments further limiting our exposure to non-performance risk. We believe that the non-performance risk inherent in our remaining derivative contracts is minimal based on credit standards and the collateral provisions of the derivative agreements.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: We maintain a derivative portfolio of interest rate swaps, futures and forward commitments used to manage exposure to changes in interest rates, MSR asset values and to meet the needs of customers. We also enter into interest rate lock commitments, which are commitments to originate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the customers have locked into that interest rate. Market risk on interest rate lock commitments and mortgage LHFS is managed using corresponding forward sale commitments. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: We have designated certain interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of fixed rate certificates of deposit. Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are assessed for effectiveness using regression analysis at inception and throughout the hedge period. All designated hedge relationships were and are expected to be highly effective as of March 31, 2019 . Cash flows and the profit impact associated with designated hedges are reported in the same category as the underlying hedged item.

The fair value basis adjustment on our hedged CDs is included in interest bearing deposits on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying amount of our hedged CDs was $10 million at March 31, 2019 and $30 million at December 31, 2018 and the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustment included in the carrying amount of the hedged CDs was de minimis at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

At March 31, 2019 , we pledged a total of $71 million related to derivative financial instruments, consisting of $44 million of cash collateral on derivative liabilities and $27 million of maintenance margin on centrally cleared derivatives and had an obligation to return cash of $3 million on derivative assets. We pledged a total of $53 million related to derivative financial instruments, consisting of $30 million of cash collateral on derivatives and $23 million of maintenance margin on centrally cleared derivatives and had an obligation to return cash of $14 million on derivative assets at December 31, 2018 . Within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, the collateral related to derivative activity is included in other assets and other liabilities and the cash pledged as maintenance margin is restricted and included in other assets.

Senior Notes

On July 11, 2016, we issued $250 million of senior notes (“Senior Notes”) which mature on July 15, 2021. Prior to June 15, 2021, we may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 0.50 percent , plus, in each case accrued and unpaid interest.

Trust Preferred Securities

We sponsor nine trust subsidiaries, which issued preferred stock to third party investors. We issued junior subordinated debt securities to those trusts, which we have included in long-term debt. The junior subordinated debt securities are the sole assets of those trusts. The trust preferred securities are callable by us at any time. Interest is payable quarterly; however, we may defer interest payments for up to 20 quarters without default or penalty. As of March 31, 2019 , we had no deferred interest.

Note  12  - Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share, excluding dilution, is computed by dividing earnings applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that could then share in our earnings.

2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

A total of 800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved and authorized for issuance for purchase under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). There were 32,878 shares issued under the ESPP during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the associated compensation expense was de minimis.

Note  14 - Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes in interim periods requires us to make a best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year, adjusted for any discrete items for the applicable period. This estimated effective tax rate is then applied to interim consolidated pre-tax operating income to determine the interim provision for income taxes.

The following table presents our provision for income tax and effective tax provision rate:

Note  15  - Regulatory Matters

Regulatory Capital

We, along with the Bank, must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. On January 1, 2015 , the Basel III rules became effective and included transition provisions through 2018. In preparation for the expected capital simplification rules, the Basel III implementation phase-in has been halted, as the agencies issued a final rule that will maintain the capital rules’ 2017 transition provisions for several regulatory capital deductions and certain other requirements that are subject to multi-year phase-in schedules in the regulatory capital rules.

To be categorized as "well-capitalized," the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum tangible capital, Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1, and total capital ratios as set forth in the table below. We, along with the Bank, are considered "well-capitalized" at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Note  16  - Legal Proceedings, Contingencies and Commitments

Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business operations. In addition, the Bank is routinely named in civil actions throughout the country by borrowers and former borrowers relating to the origination, purchase, sale, and servicing of mortgage loans. From time to time, governmental agencies also conduct investigations or examinations of various practices of the Bank. In the course of such investigations or examinations, the Bank cooperates with such agencies and provides information as requested.

We assess the liabilities and loss contingencies in connection with pending or threatened legal and regulatory proceedings on at least a quarterly basis and establish accruals when we believe it is probable that a loss may be incurred and that the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, litigation accruals are adjusted, as appropriate, in light of additional information.


56



At March 31, 2019 , we do not believe that the amount of any reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued with respect to ongoing proceedings or any other known claims will be material to our financial statements, or that the ultimate outcome of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

DOJ litigation settlement

In 2012, the Bank entered into a Settlement Agreement with the DOJ which meets the definition of a financial liability (the "DOJ Liability").

In accordance with the Settlement Agreement, we made an initial payment of $15 million and agreed to make future annual payments totaling $118 million in annual increments of up to $25 million upon meeting all conditions, which are evaluated quarterly and include: (a) the reversal of the DTA valuation allowance, which occurred at the end of 2013; (b) the repayment of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the "TARP Preferred"), which occurred in the third quarter of 2016; and (c) the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio equals 11 percent or greater as filed in the Call Report with the OCC.

No payment would be required until six months after the Bank files its Call Report with the OCC first reporting that its Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio was 11 percent or greater. If all other conditions were then satisfied, an initial annual payment would be due at that time. The next annual payment is only made if such other conditions continue to be satisfied, otherwise payments are delayed until all such conditions are met. Further, making such a payment must not violate any material banking regulatory requirement, and the OCC must not object in writing.

Consistent with our business and regulatory requirements, Flagstar shall seek in good faith to fulfill the conditions, and will not undertake any conduct or fail to take any action the purpose of which is to frustrate or delay our ability to fulfill any of the above conditions.

Additionally, if the Bank and Bancorp become party to a business combination in which the Bank or Bancorp represent less than 33.3 percent of the resulting company’s assets, annual payments must commence twelve months after the date of that business combination.

The Settlement Agreement meets the definition of a financial instrument for which we elected the fair value option. We consider the assumptions a market participant would make to transfer the liability and evaluate the potential ways we might satisfy the Settlement Agreement and our estimates of the likelihood of these outcomes, which may change over time. The fair value of the liability is subject to significant uncertainty and is impacted by forecasted estimates of the timing of potential payments some of which are impacted by inputs including estimates of equity, earnings, timing and amount of dividends and growth of the balance sheet and their related impacts on forecasted Tier 1 Leverage Capital Ratio. For further information on the fair value of the liability, see Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements.
Other litigation accruals

Excluding the fair value liability relating to the DOJ litigation settlement, our total accrual for contingent liabilities and settled litigation was $2 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is not a violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of these commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash flow requirements. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. We evaluate each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us, upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparties.

These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk beyond the amount recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Our exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We utilize the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for balance sheet instruments. The types of credit we extend are as follows:

Mortgage loan interest-rate lock commitments. We enter into mortgage interest-rate lock commitments with our customers. These commitments are considered to be derivative instruments and the fair value of these commitments is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in other assets. For further information, see Note 9 - Derivative Financial Instruments.

Warehouse loan commitments. Lines of credit provided to mortgage originators to fund loans they originate and then sell. The proceeds of the sale of the loans are used to repay the draw on the line used to fund the loans.

Commercial and industrial and other commercial commitments. Conditional commitments issued under various terms to lend funds to business and other entities. These commitments include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements. Many of these loan commitments have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of these commitments are expected to expire without being funded, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements.

HELOC commitments. Commitments to extend, originate or purchase credit are primarily lines of credit to consumers and have specified rates and maturity dates. Many of these commitments also have adverse change clauses, which allow us to cancel the commitment due to deterioration in the borrowers’ creditworthiness or a decline in the collateral value.

Other consumer commitments. C onditional commitments issued to accommodate the financial needs of customers. The commitments are made under various terms to lend funds to consumers, which include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements.

Standby and commercial letters of credit. Conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standby letters of credit generally are contingent upon the failure of the customer to perform according to the terms of the underlying contract with the third party, while commercial letters of credit are issued specifically to facilitate commerce and typically result in the commitment being drawn on when the underlying transaction is consummated between the customer and the third party. These financial standby letters of credit irrevocably obligate the bank to pay a third party beneficiary when a customer fails to repay an outstanding loan or debt instrument.

We maintain a reserve for the estimate of probable credit losses inherent in unfunded commitments to extend credit. Unfunded commitments to extend credit include unfunded loans with available balances, new commitments to lend that are not yet funded, and standby and commercial letters of credit. A reserve balance of $3 million at both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , is reflected in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
  
Note 17 - Fair Value Measurements

We utilize fair value measurements to record or disclose the fair value on certain assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability through an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The determination of fair values of financial instruments often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, we use present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments. These valuation models rely on market-based parameters when available, such as interest rate yield curves or credit spreads. Unobservable inputs may be based on management's judgment, assumptions and estimates related to credit quality, our future earnings, interest rates and other relevant inputs. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used.


58



Valuation Hierarchy

U.S. GAAP establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The hierarchy is based on the transparency of the inputs used in the valuation process with the highest priority given to quoted prices available in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs where no active market exists, as discussed below.

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets in which we can participate as of the measurement date;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input within the valuation hierarchy that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

There were no unrealized gains (losses) recorded in OCI during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 .
(2)
We utilized swaptions, futures, forward agency and loan sales and interest rate swaps to manage the risk associated with mortgage servicing rights and rate lock commitments. Gains and losses for individual lines do not reflect the effect of our risk management activities related to such Level 3 instruments.
(3)
Rate lock commitments are reported on a fallout-adjusted basis. Transfers out of Level 3 represent the settlement value of the commitments that are transferred to LHFS, which are classified as Level 2 assets.

Recurring Significant Unobservable Inputs

Home equity. The most significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the home equity loans are discount rates, constant prepayment rates, and default rates. The constant prepayment and default rates are based on a 12 month historical average. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Increases (decreases) in prepay rates in isolation result in a higher (lower) fair value and increases (decreases) in default rates in isolation result in a lower (higher) fair value.

MSRs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the MSRs are option adjusted spreads, prepayment rates, and cost to service. Significant increases (decreases) in all three assumptions in isolation result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Weighted average life (in years) is used to determine the change in fair value of MSRs. For March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the weighted average life (in years) for the entire MSR portfolio was 4.5 and 5.2 , respectively.

DOJ litigation settlement. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the DOJ litigation settlement are the discount rate and asset growth rate, in addition to those assumptions discussed in Note 16 - Legal Proceedings, Contingencies and Commitments. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate or asset growth rate in isolation may result in a marginally lower (higher) fair value measurement. For further information on the fair value inputs related to the DOJ litigation settlement, see Note 16 - Legal Proceedings, Contingencies, and Commitments.


62



Rate lock commitments. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the rate lock commitments is the pull through rate. The pull through rate is a statistical analysis of our actual rate lock fallout history to determine the sensitivity of the residential mortgage loan pipeline compared to interest rate changes and other deterministic values. New market prices are applied based on updated loan characteristics and new fallout ratios (i.e., the inverse of the pull through rate) are applied accordingly. Significant increases (decreases) in the pull through rate in isolation result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Contingent consideration. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value of the contingent consideration is future forecasted target production volumes and profitability of the division. An increase or decrease to these inputs results in an increase or decrease of the liability. Other unobservable inputs include Beta and volatility which drive the risk adjusted discount rate utilized in a Monte Carlo simulation. Increases (decreases) in these inputs results in a lower (higher) to the liability.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
    
We also have assets that are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis under certain conditions. The following table presents assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Fair Value Option

We elected the fair value option for certain items as discussed throughout the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to more closely align the accounting method with the underlying economic exposure. Interest income on LHFS is accrued on the principal outstanding primarily using the "simple-interest" method.

The following table reflects the change in fair value included in earnings of financial instruments for which the fair value option has been elected:

We are obligated to pay $118 million in installment payments upon meeting certain performance conditions, as described in Note  16  - Legal Proceedings, Contingencies and Commitments.
 
Note 18  - Segment Information

Our operations are conducted through three operating segments: Community Banking, Mortgage Originations, and
Mortgage Servicing. The Other segment includes the remaining reported activities. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activity from which revenues are earned and expenses are incurred for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by executive management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The operating segments have been determined based on the products and services offered and reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. Each segment operates under the same banking charter, but is reported on a segmented basis for this report. Each of the operating segments is complementary to each other and because of the interrelationships of the segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities.

As a result of Management's evaluation of our segments, effective January 1, 2019, certain departments have been re-aligned between the Community Banking and Other segment. The income and expenses relating to these changes are reflected in our financial statements and all prior period segment financial information has been recast to conform to the current presentation.

The Community Banking segment originates loans, provides deposits and fee based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers through its Branch Banking, Business Banking and Commercial Banking, Government Banking, Warehouse Lending and LHFI Portfolio groups. Products offered through these groups include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, consumer loans, commercial loans, commercial real estate loans, equipment finance and leasing, home builder finance loans and warehouse lines of credit. Other financial services available include consumer and corporate card services, customized treasury management solutions, merchant services and capital markets services such as loan syndications, and investment and insurance products and services.
    
Within the Community Banking segment, revenue from contracts with customers includes deposit account and other banking income, interchange fees and investment and insurance income. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , deposit account and other banking income, which includes fees for outgoing wires, overdrafts, stop payments and ATM fees totaled $6 million , interchange fees totaled $3 million , and investment and insurance income totaled $1 million . These fees are recognized when obligations, under the terms of the contract with our customer, are satisfied, which generally occurs when

services are performed. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for providing services. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had no significant revenue related receivables or contract liabilities.

The Mortgage Originations segment originates and acquires one-to-four family residential mortgage loans to sell or hold on our balance sheet. Loans originated-to-sell, comprise the majority of the lending activity. These loans are originated through mortgage branches, call centers, the Internet and third party counterparties. The Mortgage Origination segment recognizes interest income on loans that are held for sale and the gains from sales associated with these loans, whereas the interest income on LHFI and a loss on sales for the purchase of these loans is recognized in the Community Banking segment.

The Mortgage Servicing segment services and subservices mortgage and other consumer loans for others on a fee for service basis and may also collect ancillary fees and earn income through the use of noninterest-bearing escrows. Revenue for those serviced and subserviced loans is earned on a contractual fee basis, with the fees varying based on our responsibilities and the status of the underlying loans. The Mortgage Servicing segment also services loans for our LHFI portfolio in the Community Banking segment and our own LHFS portfolio in the Mortgage Originations segment, for which it earns revenue via an intercompany service fee allocation.

The Other segment includes the treasury functions, which include the impact of interest rate risk management, balance sheet funding activities and the administration of the investment securities portfolios, as well as miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature. In addition, the Other segment includes revenue and expenses related to treasury and corporate assets and liabilities and equity not directly assigned or allocated to the Community Banking, Mortgage Originations or Mortgage Servicing operating segments.

Revenues are comprised of net interest income (before the provision (benefit) for loan losses) and noninterest income. Noninterest expenses and provision (benefit) for income taxes, are fully allocated to each operating segment. Allocation methodologies may be subject to periodic adjustment as the internal management accounting system is revised and the business or product lines within the segments change.

The following tables present financial information by business segment for the periods indicated:

Note 19  - Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
    
Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The following ASUs have been adopted which impact our significant accounting policies and/or have a significant financial impact:

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes Topic 840. The guidance requires lessees to recognize substantially all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Effective January 1, 2019, we have adopted the requirements of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and all related amendments. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient of forgoing the restatement of comparative periods. In addition, we have elected the practical expedients permitted under transition guidance to not reassess leases entered into prior to adoption. As permitted under ASC 842, the Company has made an accounting policy election to exempt leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from balance sheet recognition. Instead, short-term leases will be expensed over the lease term with no impact to the balance sheet.
    
At March 31, 2019 , our inventory of leases included various bank branches, ATM locations and retail home lending offices. Many of our leases contain options to extend or terminate early and we consider these options when evaluating the lease term to determine if they are reasonably certain to exercise based on all relevant economic and financial factors. All leases are classified as operating leases based on their terms.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

The following ASUs have been issued and are expected to result in a significant change to our significant accounting policies and/or have a significant financial impact:
    
Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The ASU alters the current method for recognizing credit losses within the reserve account. Currently, we use the incurred loss method, whereas the new guidance requires financial assets to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected (i.e., net of expected credit losses). The measurement of expected credit losses should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.

Our cross-functional implementation team continues to execute on its project plan and has been working with an industry leading vendor to finalize the development of our credit loss models. We expect to be capable of running a CECL parallel production process in the second half of 2019 and will be ready for the adoption of the standard in the first quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2019, we began to finalize our portfolio and model segmentation and we plan to prepare data for use by the models, begin model testing, and continue developing accounting internal controls around data, modeling, and CECL governance in the second quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements, and highlight that any impact will be contingent upon the underlying characteristics of the affected portfolio and macroeconomic and internal forecasts at adoption date. We do not expect any material allowance on held to maturity securities since the majority of this portfolio consists of agency-backed securities that have an immaterial risk of credit loss.

The following ASUs have been issued and are not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and/or significant accounting policies:

Note 20  - Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 2019 , we became aware that one of our commercial borrowers was unexpectedly ceasing their reverse mortgage origination business. The following table presents our credit exposure to this borrower.

The commercial loan is collateralized by certain interest-only GNMA securities, held by a third party custodian. A recent independent valuation conducted by us indicates that this collateral has a fair value between $35 and $40 million . While it is too early to determine the extent of the loss we may have on this loan, we plan to pursue all available sources of collection including other assets of the company, a personal guarantee and other legal remedies to minimize our credit exposure related to this loan. We will determine and record the appropriate carrying value during the second quarter of 2019 .

We expect to be fully repaid on the outstanding warehouse line and no further draws on this line can be made.
