MULTIFAMILY EARNINGS
NYCB Suffers Q2 Loss, Sells More Assets, Blames Multifamily
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
New York Community Bank (NYCB) reported its second consecutive quarterly loss as it struggles to stabilize operations and reassure investors.
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Boost liquidity: Hours before its earnings call, NYCB announced it sold its mortgage warehouse loan business to JPMorgan Chase for $5.9B and its residential mortgage servicing business to Mr. Cooper Group for $1.4B. NYCB’s CFO stressed that the bank now holds a “fairly strong liquidity position.”
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Multifamily mess: NYCB’s multifamily loan portfolio, heavily tied to New York’s rent-stabilized sector, is under scrutiny. The bank reviewed 80% of this portfolio, revealing a troubling increase in delinquencies (up 767%), charge-offs (up 590%), and non-accruals (up 134%). Yikes.
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Zoom in: NYCB has undergone significant leadership changes, including replacing its CEO twice and revamping its C-suite. Current CEO Joseph Otting highlighted a comprehensive review and re-underwriting of multifamily loans, particularly those around breakeven. This review led to an expanded credit loss allowance of $1.2 billion, a 113% increase YoY, following the adjustment of interest rates on maturing or repricing loans from 3% to 8%.
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Delinquency spike: In Q2, charge-offs surged to $349M from $81M in Q1, and non-accrual loans almost tripled to nearly $2B. Despite a 468% surge in delinquencies to $1.2 billion from the previous quarter, NYCB managed to reduce this figure to around half a billion dollars by July 24, thanks to repayments. The bank maintains liquidity of about $40 billion, enough to cover its $13 billion in uninsured deposits…for now.
➥ THE TAKEAWAY
p span[style*=”font-size”] { line-height: 1.6; }
Looking ahead: NYCB reported a Q2 loss of $1.14 per share, better than Q1’s $1.36 per share loss, with a 6% revenue increase to $671M. Despite this, Wall Street remained unimpressed, sending the stock down 17% on Thursday. In response, CEO Joseph Otting announced plans to sell $2B to $5B in non-core businesses to further boost liquidity.
