Here are the key takeaways from Flagstar Bank, National Association’s conference call:
- Flagstar returned to profitability in Q4 2025 with adjusted net income of $30 million and adjusted EPS of $0.06, driven by net interest income growth, NIM expansion, and disciplined expense control.
- Commercial & industrial (C&I) momentum accelerated — total commitments rose 28% to $3.0 billion and originations increased 22% to $2.1 billion, producing consecutive quarters of net C&I loan growth and management expects continued C&I-led balance sheet growth in 2026.
- The bank materially de-risked its CRE/multifamily exposure (Q4 payoffs and actions reduced balances by about $2.3 billion, and CRE balances are down ~$12.1 billion since 2023), lowering CRE concentration below 400 and improving credit metrics and reserve coverage.
- Capital and liquidity positions strengthened — CET1 rose roughly 400 basis points to 12.83% (≈ $2.1 billion pre‑tax excess capital) and cash & securities now represent ~25% of assets after reducing brokered deposits by nearly $8 billion.
- Elevated CRE/multifamily payoffs and balance-sheet shrinkage drove a ~$100 million downward NII adjustment and management expects $3.5B–$5B of payoffs in 2026, which could pressure near‑term net interest income and margin despite the long‑term de‑risking benefits.
