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. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial statements. Where we say "we," "us," or "our," we usually mean Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. However, in some cases, a reference to "we," "us," or "our" will include our wholly owned subsidiary Flagstar Bank, FSB (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 Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, 2015, which is available on our website, at flagstar.com, and on the SEC website, at sec.gov. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

(1) | 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, 2016 or December 31, 2015. |
Credit related declines in the available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities are classified as other than temporary impairments ("OTTI") and are reported as a separate component of noninterest income within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. An impaired investment security is considered to be other than temporary if (1) we intend to sell the security; (2) it
9
is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover all contractually required principal and interest payments.
We evaluate our securities portfolio each quarter to determine if any security is considered to be other than temporarily impaired. In making this evaluation, management considers its ability and intent to hold securities to recover current market losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no other-than-temporary impairments ("OTTI").
Available-for-sale securities
Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains reported as a component of other comprehensive income and unrealized losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income to the extent they are temporary in nature.
We purchased $27 million of available-for-sale securities, which included U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities and municipal obligations, during the three months ended March 31, 2016. We purchased $652 million of available-for-sale securities, which included U.S. government sponsored agencies, comprised of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Gains (losses) on sales of available-for-sale securities are reported in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, there were no sales of available-for-sale securities, except those related to mortgage loans that had been securitized for sale in the normal course of business. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, $2 million of municipal obligations matured.
Held-to-maturity securities
Investment securities held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the interest method.
Transfers of investment securities into the held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category are accounted for at fair value at the date of transfer. The related unrealized holding gain, net of tax, that was included in the transfer is retained in other comprehensive income and is being amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the remaining life of the securities.
We purchased $15 million of held-to-maturity securities, which included U.S. government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had no purchases of held-to-maturity securities.
Gains (losses) on sales of held-to-maturity securities are reported in other noninterest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no sales of held-to-maturity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015.

We pledge investment securities, primarily municipal taxable and agency collateralized mortgage obligations, to collateralize lines of credit and/or borrowings. At March 31, 2016, we pledged $230 million of investment securities, compared to $14 million at December 31, 2015.
Note 3 – Loans Held-for-Sale
The majority of our mortgage loans originated as loans held-for-sale are sold into the secondary market on a whole loan basis or by securitizing the loans into securities. At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, loans held-for-sale totaled $2.6 billion, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we reported net gain on loan sales of $75 million, compared to $91 million net gain on loan sales during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $20 million and $35 million, respectively, of loans held-for-sale were recorded at lower of cost or fair value. The remainder of the loans in the portfolio are recorded at fair value as we have elected the fair value option for such loans.
11
Note 4 – Loans with Government Guarantees
The majority of loans with government guarantees are insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration. These 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 until claimed.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, loans with government guarantees totaled $462 million and $485 million, respectively. At March 31, 2016, repossessed assets and the associated claims recorded in other assets totaled $202 million and $210 million at December 31, 2015.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, we transferred zero and $5 million, respectively, of loans held-for-sale to loans held-for-investment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold nonperforming, TDR and non-agency loans with unpaid principal balances of $96 million. Upon a change in our intent, the loans were transferred to held-for-sale and subsequently sold resulting in a loss on sale of $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which is recorded in net loss on sale of assets on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The loans sold also resulted in a charge-off of $6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Also, during the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold performing residential first mortgage loans with unpaid principal balances of $787 million. Upon a change in our intent, the loans were transferred to held-for-sale and subsequently sold resulting in a gain of $9 million, which is recorded in net gain on loan sales on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we re-measured the specifically identified reserve relating to the troubled debt restructured loans, resulting in a $36 million reduction in reserve based on a change in expected future cash flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we changed our intent to hold these loans for investment and instead decided to hold these loans for sale. The loans for which the intent changed had an approximate unpaid principal balance of $331 million, including approximately $291 million of troubled debt restructured residential first mortgage loans, and $30 million in specifically identified reserves at the time this intent was changed. These loans were transferred to loans held-for-sale and subsequently sold.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we purchased jumbo residential first mortgage loans with an unpaid principal balance of $147 million.

We have pledged certain loans held-for-investment, loans held-for-sale, and loans with government guarantees to collateralize lines of credit and/or borrowings with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we pledged $5.3 billion and $5.8 billion, respectively.
Allowance for Loan Losses
We determine the appropriate level of the allowance on at least a quarterly basis. Refer to Note 1, "Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, for a description of the methodology. The allowance for loan losses, 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 similar risk characteristics to determine our best estimate of incurred losses.
The allowance for loan losses by class of loan are summarized in the following table:

(2) | Includes $11 million and $10 million of loans 90 days or greater past due accounted for under the fair value option at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. |
For all classes 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. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the accrued interest income is reversed. Loans return to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully collectible.
Interest income is recognized on nonaccrual loans using a cash basis method. Interest that would have been accrued on impaired loans totaled approximately $1 million during both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no loans 90 days past due and still accruing.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
We may modify certain loans in both consumer and commercial loan portfolios to retain customers or to maximize collection of the outstanding loan balance. We have programs designed to assist borrowers by extending payment dates or reducing the borrower's contractual payments. All loan modifications are made on a case-by-case basis. Our standards relating to loan modifications consider, among other factors, minimum verified income requirements, cash flow analysis, and collateral valuations. TDRs result in those instances in which a borrower demonstrates financial difficulty and for which a concession has been granted, which includes reductions of interest rate, extensions of amortization period, principal and/or interest forgiveness and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. These loans are classified as nonperforming TDRs if the loan was nonperforming prior to the restructuring, or based upon the results of a contemporaneous credit evaluation. Such loans will continue on nonaccrual status until the borrower has established a willingness and ability to make the restructured payments for at least six months, after which they will begin to accrue interest.
The following table provides a summary of TDRs outstanding by type and performing status:

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 re-defaulted TDRs.

Credit Quality
We utilize an internal risk rating system in accordance with the Rating Credit Risk booklet of the Comptroller's Handbook, April 2011 and the Uniform Retail Credit classification and Account Management Policy issued June 20, 2000 by the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council (FFIEC) 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 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 liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. For HELOC 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. Nonperforming loans are classified as either substandard, doubtful or loss.
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. Because of high probability of loss, non-accrual accounting treatment is required for doubtful assets.
Loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as 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 this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.
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 of the deal, 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 result in the final rating for the borrowing relationship.
Consumer Loans
The same rating principles are used for consumer and commercial loans, but the principles are applied differently for 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, 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.
18
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.

Note 6 – Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")
In 2015, we executed clean-up calls of the FSTAR 2005-1 and FSTAR 2006-2 long-term debt associated with the HELOC securitization trusts. The transactions resulted in cash payments of $52 million to the debt bondholders during the year ended December 31, 2015. After payment of the debt, the FSTAR 2005-1 and FSTAR 2006-2 HELOC securitization trusts were dissolved and we no longer have any consolidated VIEs as of December 31, 2015.
We have a continuing involvement, but are not the primary beneficiary for one 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the FSTAR 2007-1 mortgage securitization trust included 2,904 loans and 3,061 loans, respectively, with an aggregate principal balance of $109 million and $117 million, respectively.
19
Note 7 – Mortgage Servicing Rights
We have investments in mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") resulting from the sale of loans to the secondary market and retaining the servicing. The primary risk associated with MSRs is the potential change in 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 also 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. Our portfolio of MSRs is highly sensitive to movements in interest rates. 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 hedged. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for additional information regarding the instruments utilized to hedge the risks of MSRs.
Changes in the carrying value of residential first mortgage MSRs, accounted for at fair value, were as follows:

The following table summarizes the hypothetical effect on the fair value of servicing rights carried at fair value using adverse changes of 10 percent and 20 percent to the weighted average of certain significant assumptions used in valuing these assets:
March 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair value due to | Fair value due to | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Actual | 10% adverse change | 20% adverse change | Actual | 10% adverse change | 20% adverse change | ||||||||||||||||||

Weighted average cost to service per loan | $ | 71.68 | 277 | 273 | $ | 71.86 | 292 | 288 |
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.
Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition after taking into account the effects of legally enforceable bilateral collateral and master netting agreements. The Company is exposed to non-performance risk by the counterparties to its various derivative financial instruments. The Company believes that the non-performance risk inherent in all its derivative contracts is minimal based on credit standards and the collateral provisions of the derivative agreements. A majority of the Company’s derivatives are centrally cleared through a Central Counterparty Clearing House or consist of residential mortgage interest rate lock commitments further limiting non-performance risk.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: The Company maintains 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. The Company also enters 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 loans held-for-sale 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 use interest rate swaps to hedge the forecasted cash flows from our underlying variable-rate Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances in a qualifying cash flow hedge accounting relationship. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the hedge transaction is recognized in earnings. At March 31, 2016, we had $31 million (net-of-tax) recorded of unrealized
21
losses on derivatives classified as cash flow hedges recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives classified as cash flow hedges, compared to $3 million at December 31, 2015. The estimated amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months represents $9 million of losses (net-of-tax).
Derivatives that are designated in hedging relationships are assessed for effectiveness using regression analysis at inception and throughout the hedge period. All cash flow hedges were highly effective as of March 31, 2016. Cash flows and the profit impact associated with designated hedges are reported in the same category as the underlying hedged item.
The net gains recognized in income on derivative instruments, net of the impact of offsetting positions, were as follows:

Note 9 – Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
The portfolio of Federal Home Loan Bank advances includes short-term fixed rate advances, long-term LIBOR adjustable advances, and long-term fixed rate advances. The following is a breakdown of the advances outstanding:

(1) | Includes the current portion of fixed rate advances of $175 million at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. |
We settled $375 million in long-term fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances during the fourth quarter 2015, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3 million, included in other noninterest income.
At March 31, 2016, we had the authority and approval from the Federal Home Loan Bank to utilize a line of credit of up to $7.0 billion and we may access that line to the extent that collateral is provided. At March 31, 2016, we had $2.9 billion of advances outstanding and an additional $0.7 billion of collateralized borrowing capacity available at Federal Home Loan Bank. The advances can be collateralized by non-delinquent single-family residential first mortgage loans, loans with government guarantees, certain other loans and investment securities.
At March 31, 2016, $1.0 billion of the outstanding advances were adjustable rate based on the three-month LIBOR index. Interest rates on these advances reset every three months and the advances may be prepaid without penalty, with notification at scheduled three month intervals after an initial 12 month lockout period. The outstanding advances included $1.0 billion in a cash flow hedge relationship as discussed in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.

Trust Preferred Securities
We sponsored nine trust subsidiaries, which issued trust preferred securities to third-party investors and loaned the proceeds to us in the form of junior subordinated notes included in long-term debt. The notes held by each trust are the sole assets of that trust.
The trust preferred securities outstanding are junior subordinated notes which are callable by us. Interest is payable quarterly at a rate equal to the interest rate being earned by the trust on the notes held by the trusts; however, we may defer interest payments for up to 20 quarters without default or penalty. In January 2012, we exercised our contractual rights to defer interest payments with respect to trust preferred securities. The payments are periodically evaluated and will be reinstated when appropriate, subject to the provisions of our Supervisory Agreement and Consent Order. At March 31, 2016, we have deferred for 17 quarters and have $29 million accrued for these deferred interest payments.
Note 11 - Representation and Warranty Reserve

At the time a loan is sold, an estimate of the fair value of such loss associated with the mortgage loans is recorded in the representation and warranty reserve in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and charged against the net gain on loan sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Subsequent to the sale, the liability is re-measured on an ongoing basis based on an estimate of probable future losses. Changes in the estimate are recorded in the representation and warranty provision (benefit) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 12 — Warrants
May Investor Warrant
We granted warrants (the "May Investor Warrants") to the May Investors on January 30, 2009 under anti-dilution provisions applicable to certain investors (the "May Investors") in our May 2008 private placement capital raise.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were no May Investor Warrants exercised. The May Investors held warrants to purchase 615,962 shares at an exercise price of $10.00 at March 31, 2016.
The May Investor Warrants do not meet the definition of a contract that is indexed to our own stock under U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the May Investor Warrants are classified as "other liabilities" on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and are measured at fair value. Warrant liabilities are valued using a binomial lattice model and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Significant observable inputs include share price, expected volatility, a risk free rate and an expected life.
At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the liability from May Investors Warrants amounted to $7 million and $8 million, respectively. Warrant liabilities are reported in "other liabilities" on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. See Note 19 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for additional recurring fair value disclosures. The warrants are accounted for under the equity method.
TARP Warrant
On January 30, 2009, we sold to the U.S. Treasury 266,657 shares of Series C fixed rate cumulative non-convertible perpetual preferred stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") and a warrant to purchase up to approximately 645,138 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $62.00 per share (the "Warrant") for $267 million. The Series C Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and currently pays cumulative dividends quarterly at a rate of 9 percent per annum. The Warrant is exercisable through 2019.
Note 13 - Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The following table sets forth the components in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for each type of investment securities available-for-sale, investment securities held-to-maturity, and cash flow hedges:

Note 14 – Stockholders’ Equity
Preferred Stock
Preferred stock with a par value of $0.01 and a liquidation value of $1,000 and additional paid in capital attributable to preferred stock at March 31, 2016 is summarized as follows:
Rate | Earliest Redemption Date | Shares Outstanding | Preferred Shares | Additional Paid in Capital | |||||||||||
(Dollars in millions) | |||||||||||||||
Series C Preferred Stock | 9.0 | % | 1/31/2012 | 266,657 | $ | — | $ | 267 |
Our Series C Preferred Stock was issued under the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP") Capital Purchase Program. The U.S. government subsequently sold the Series C Preferred Stock to unrelated third-parties. At March 31, 2016, we have deferred $94 million of dividend payments, which is not reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements until paid.
Note 15 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share, excluding dilution, is computed by dividing earnings available 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.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock:

Under the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock we may defer dividend payments. We elected to defer dividend payments beginning with the February 2012 dividend. Although not included in quarterly net income from continuing operations, the deferral still impacts net income applicable to common stock for the purpose of calculating earnings per share, as shown above. The cumulative amount in arrears as of March 31, 2016 is $94 million.
28
Note 16 – Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes in interim periods require us to make a best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full year. This estimated effective tax rate is then applied to interim consolidated pre-tax operating income to determine the interim provision for income taxes.

We believe that it is unlikely that the unrecognized tax benefits will change by a material amount during the next 12 months. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
Note 17 — 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 include transition provisions through 2018.
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, 2016 and December 31, 2015. There have been no conditions or events that management believes have changed our or the Bank’s category.
The following table shows the regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

Note 18 – 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 mortgage-related 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 such 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.
Management does 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
We elected the fair value option to account for the liability representing the obligation to make future additional payments under the DOJ litigation settlement. The executed settlement agreement with the DOJ establishes a legally enforceable contract with a stipulated payment plan that meets the definition of a financial liability.
At March 31, 2016 the remaining future payments totaled $118 million for which we used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the current fair value. The model utilizes estimates including our forecasts of net income, balance sheet and capital levels and considers multiple scenarios and possible outcomes as a result of the uncertainty inherent in those inputs which impact the estimated timing of the additional payments. These scenarios are probability weighted and consider the view of a market participant to estimate the fair value of the liability. The fair value of the DOJ litigation settlement liability was $84 million at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
At both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, excluding the fair value liability relating to the DOJ litigation settlement, our total accrual for contingent liabilities was $2 million.

Commitments
A summary of the contractual amount of significant commitments is as follows:
March 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||
(Dollars in millions) | |||||||
Commitments to extend credit | |||||||
Mortgage loans interest-rate lock commitments | $ | 5,710 | $ | 3,792 | |||
HELOC commitments | 166 | 150 | |||||
Other consumer commitments | 31 | 22 | |||||
Warehouse loan commitments | 973 | 871 | |||||
Standby and commercial letters of credit | 13 | 13 | |||||
Commercial and industrial commitments | 157 | 151 | |||||
Other commercial commitments | 683 | 497 |
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend. 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.
We enter into mortgage interest-rate lock commitments with our customers. These commitments are considered to be derivative instruments and changes in the fair value of these commitments are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in other assets. Further discussion on derivative instruments is included in Note 8 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
We have unfunded commitments under our contractual arrangement with the HELOC borrowers. 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.
Other consumer commitments are conditional commitments issued to accommodate the financial needs of customers. The commitments are under various terms to lend funds to consumers, which include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements.
Warehouse loan commitments are 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.
Standby and commercial letters of credit are 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.
Commercial and industrial and other commercial commitments are 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.
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. 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.
31
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. The balance of $3 million and $2 million for March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, is reflected in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Note 19 – 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.
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 and 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.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Assets
Investment securities available-for-sale. These securities are comprised of U.S. government sponsored agencies and municipal obligations. We measure fair value using prices obtained from pricing services. A review is performed on the security prices received from the pricing services, which includes discussion and analysis of the inputs used by the pricing services to value our securities and comparisons to independent pricing. Where possible, fair values are generated using market inputs including quoted prices (the closing price in an exchange market), bid prices (the price at which a buyer stands ready to purchase), and other market information. For fixed income securities that are not actively traded, the pricing services use alternative methods to determine fair value for the securities, including quotes for similar fixed-income securities, matrix pricing, discounted cash flow using benchmark curves or other factors to determine fair value. Investment securities are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
Loans held-for-sale. We generally estimate the fair value of loans held-for-sale based on quoted market prices for securities backed by similar types of loans. Where quoted market prices were available, such market prices were utilized as estimates for fair values. Otherwise, the fair value of loans was computed by discounting cash flows using observable inputs inclusive of interest rates, prepayment speeds and loss assumptions for similar collateral. These loans are classified as level 2.
Loans held-for-investment. Loans held-for-investment are generally recorded at amortized cost. Such loans are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan becomes impaired when it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Once a loan
32
is identified as impaired, the fair value of the impaired loan is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value less costs to sell, market value of similar debt, or discounted cash flows. The fair value of the underlying collateral is determined, where possible, using market prices derived from appraisals or market evaluations which are considered a nonrecurring level 3 valuation. Fair value may also be measured using the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate.
Loans held-for-investment that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are loans that were previously recorded as loans held-for-sale but subsequently transferred to the held-for-investment category. As we elected the fair value option for the held-for-sale loans, they continue to be reported at fair value and measured consistent with the level 2 methodology for loans held-for-sale. Certain HELOC loans have been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statement as loans held-for-investment at fair value. We record these loans as a recurring level 3 valuation. Also included in loans held-for-investment are the second mortgage loans which are carried at fair value and valued using a discounted estimated net future cash flow model and are classified within the level 3 valuation hierarchy as the model utilizes significant inputs which are unobservable.
Repossessed assets. Repossessed assets are measured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the repossessed asset. The fair value of repossessed assets, upon initial recognition, are estimated using level 3 inputs based on appraisals or evaluations. The significant unobservable inputs used in the level 3 fair value measurements of our impaired loans and repossessed assets primarily relate to internal valuations or analysis.
Mortgage Servicing Rights. The current market for MSRs is not sufficiently liquid to provide participants with quoted market prices. Therefore, we use an option-adjusted spread valuation approach to determine the fair value of MSRs. This approach consists of projecting servicing cash flows under multiple interest rate scenarios and discounting these cash flows using risk-adjusted discount rates. The key assumptions used in the valuation of MSRs include mortgage prepayment speeds and discount rates. Management obtains third-party valuations of the MSR portfolio on a quarterly basis from independent valuation experts to assess the reasonableness of the fair value calculated by our internal valuation model. In certain circumstances, based on the probability of the completion of a sale of MSRs pursuant to a bona-fide purchase offer, we consider the bid price of that offer and identifiable transaction costs in comparison to the calculated fair value and may adjust the estimate of fair value to reflect the terms of the pending transaction. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, MSRs are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments. Certain classes of derivative contracts are listed on an exchange and are actively traded, and they are therefore classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. These include U.S. Treasury futures and U.S. Treasury options. Our forward loan sale commitments, swap futures and interest rate swaps are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in an active market with inputs that are observable and are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Rate lock commitments are valued using internal models with significant unobservable market parameters and therefore are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. We assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.
We use interest rate swaps to hedge the forecasted cash flows from our underlying variable-rate FHLB advances in a qualifying cash flow hedge accounting relationship. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and reclassified into interest expense along with the debt interest expense in the same period in which the identified hedge transaction is recognized in earnings.
The derivatives are reported in either other assets or other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Liabilities
Warrants. Warrant liabilities are valued using a binomial lattice model and are classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Significant observable inputs include expected volatility, a risk free rate and an expected life. Warrant liabilities are reported in "other liabilities" on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Litigation settlement. Upon settlement of the DOJ litigation settlement, we elected the fair value option to account for the liability representing the remaining future payments. As of March 31, 2016 the fair value totaled $84 million, using a discount rate of 7.3 percent for which we use a discounted cash flow model to determine the current fair value. The model utilizes our forecast and considers multiple scenarios including possible outcomes that impact the timing of the additional payments which are discounted using a risk free rate adjusted for nonperformance risk that represents our credit risk. These
33
scenarios are probability weighted and consider the view of an independent market participant to estimate the most likely fair value of the liability.
The liability is classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy as the projections of earnings and growth rate and other assumptions are unobservable inputs which affect the estimated timing of the cash flow payments. We consider factors which could affect those projections from the perspective of a market participant, which is incorporated into the assessment of fair value. The litigation settlement is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and changes in the fair value of the litigation settlement will be recorded each quarter in other noninterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

We had no transfers of assets or liabilities recorded at fair value between fair value levels during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
We utilized US Treasury future, forward agency and loan sales and interest rate swaps to manage the risk associated with mortgage servicing rights and rate lock commitments. The assets and/or liabilities transferred are valued at the end of the period. Gains and losses for individual lines in the tables do not reflect the effect of our risk management activities related to such level 3 instruments.

Recurring Significant Unobservable Inputs
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the second mortgage 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 would 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.
The HELOC loans are valued utilizing a loan-level discounted cash flow model which projects expected cash flows given three potential outcomes: (1) paid-in-full at scheduled maturity, (2) default at scheduled maturity (foreclosure), and (3) modification at scheduled maturity into an amortizing HELOC. Loans are placed into the potential outcome buckets based on their underlying current delinquency, FICO scores and property CLTV all of which are unobservable inputs. Estimated cash flows are then discounted back using an unobservable discount rate. Loans within the HELOC portfolio contain FICO scores with a minimum of 447, maximum of 817, and a weighted average of 673. For the HELOC loans, increases (decreases) in the discount rate, in isolation, would lower (higher) the fair value measurement.
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 would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Additionally, the key economic assumptions used in determining the fair value of MSRs capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 periods were as follows:
37
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||
2016 | 2015 | ||||
Weighted average life (in years) | 7.3 | 7.3 | |||
Weighted average constant prepayment rate | 13.8 | % | 13.6 | % | |
Weighted average option adjusted spread | 7.29 | % | 8.53 | % |
The key economic assumptions reflected in the overall fair value of the entire portfolio of MSRs were as follows:
March 31, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||
Weighted average life (in years) | 6.4 | 7.3 | |||
Weighted average constant prepayment rate | 15.2 | % | 12.6 | % | |
Weighted average option adjusted spread | 8.18 | % | 8.24 | % |
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 would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the DOJ litigation settlement is the discount rate. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate in isolation could result in a marginally lower (higher) fair value measurement.
38
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
We also have assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets are measured at the lower of cost or market and had a fair value below cost at the end of the period as summarized below:

The methods and assumptions used by us in estimating fair value of financial instruments which are required for disclosure only, are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Investment securities held-to-maturity. Fair values are generated using market inputs, where possible, including quoted prices (the closing price in an exchange market), bid prices (the price at which a buyer stands ready to purchase), and other market information.
Loans with government guarantees. The fair value is estimated by using internally developed discounted cash flow models using market interest rate inputs as well as management’s best estimate of spreads for similar collateral.
Loans held-for-investment. The fair value is estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models using market interest rate inputs as well as management’s best estimate of spreads for similar collateral.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock. No secondary market exists for Federal Home Loan Bank stock. The stock is bought and sold at par by the Federal Home Loan Bank. Management believes that the recorded value equals the fair value.
Bank owned life insurance. The fair value of bank owned life insurance policies is based on the cash surrender values of the policies as reported by the insurance companies.
41
Other assets, foreclosure claims. The fair value of foreclosure claims with government guarantees approximates the carrying amount.
Deposit accounts. The fair value of deposits with no defined maturity is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current market rates for similar products and expected attrition. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for certificates of deposit with similar remaining maturities.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of the existing debt.
Long-term debt. The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated based on a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Fair Value Option
We elected the fair value option for certain items as discussed throughout the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to mitigate a divergence between accounting losses and economic exposure. Interest income on loans held-for-sale 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:

Note 20 – Segment Information
Our operations are conducted through four operating segments: Mortgage Originations, Mortgage Servicing, Community Banking and Other, which 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 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.
Effective January 1, 2016, we reorganized our reportable segments to align with our new management reporting structure and to align with our long-term strategy. All prior periods were reclassified to be consistent with the current presentation. Prior to the reorganization, representation and warranty reserves were reported in the Mortgage Servicing segment and the MSR asset and associated costs were reported in the Other segment. As a result of this change, representation and warranty reserves, as well as the MSR asset and associated costs are now reported in the Mortgage Originations segment.
The Mortgage Originations segment originates, acquires and sells one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. The origination and acquisition of mortgage loans comprises the majority of the lending activity. Mortgage loans are originated through home loan centers, national call centers, the Internet and unaffiliated banks and mortgage banking and brokerage companies, where the net interest income and the gains from sales associated with these loans are recognized in the Mortgage Originations segment.
The Mortgage Servicing segment services and sub-services mortgage loans, on a fee basis, for others. Also, the Mortgage Servicing segment services, on a fee basis, residential mortgages held-for-investment by the Community Banking segment and mortgage servicing rights held by the Mortgage Originations segment. The Mortgage Servicing segment may also collect ancillary fees, such as late fees, and earns income through the use of noninterest-bearing escrows.
43
The Community Banking segment originates loans, provides deposits and fee based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers through its Branch Banking, Business, and Commercial Banking, Government Banking, Warehouse Lending and Held-for-Investment Portfolio groups. Products offered through these teams include checking accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit, consumer loans, commercial loans, and warehouse lines of credit. Other financial services available to consumer and commercial customers include lines of credit, revolving credit, customized treasury management solutions, equipment leasing, inventory, and accounts receivable lending and capital markets services such as interest rate risk protection products.
The Other segment includes the treasury functions, funding revenue associated with stockholders' equity, the impact of interest rate risk management, the impact of balance sheet funding activities, and miscellaneous other expenses of a corporate nature. Treasury functions include administering the investment securities portfolios, balance sheet funding, and interest rate risk management. 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 Mortgage Originations, Mortgage Servicing or Community Banking operating segments.
Revenues are comprised of net interest income (before the provision (benefit) for loan losses) and noninterest income. Noninterest expenses 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.

Note 21 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." Under the amended guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The FASB has voted to approve a year deferral of the effective date from January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018, while allowing for early adoption. In April 2016, the FASB clarified the following two aspects: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, but significant changes to disclosures in the Notes thereto will be required.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. It also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with the fair value of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, if any.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Section A - Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Section B - Conforming Amendments Related to Leases: Amendment to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, Section C - Background Information and Basis For Conclusions. Lessees will need to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on
45
criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance in ASU 2016-02 supersedes Topic 840, Leases. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The amendments in ASU 2016-06 clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call (put) options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. An entity performing the assessment under the amendments in ASU 2016-06 is required to assess the embedded call (put) options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence. ASU 2016-06 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. This guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements, but disclosures to the Notes thereto will be updated per the requirements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in ASU 2016-09 affect all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The areas for simplification in ASU 2016-09 involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating this guidance and does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

General
We are a Michigan-based 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. At March 31, 2016, based on our assets, we are the largest bank headquartered in Michigan and one of the top 10 largest savings banks in the United States. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "FBC." We are considered a controlled company for NYSE purposes, because MP Thrift Investments, L.P. ("MP Thrift") held approximately 62.9 percent of our common stock as of March 31, 2016.
We primarily originate or purchase residential mortgage loans throughout the country and sell them into securitization pools, primarily to Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") and the Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") (collectively, the "Agencies") or as whole loans. In addition, we originate or purchase residential first mortgage loans, consumer loans, commercial loans and warehouse loans included in held-for-investment loan portfolios. Our revenues include net interest income, income from banking services we provide customers, and noninterest income from sales of residential first mortgage loans to the Agencies, the servicing of loans for others and the sale of servicing rights related to mortgage loans serviced for others. The combination of our home lending, broker and correspondent channels gives us broad access to customers across diverse geographies to originate, fulfill, sell and service our residential mortgage loan products.
The majority of our total loan originations during the three months ended March 31, 2016 represented mortgage loans that were collateralized by residential first mortgages on single-family residences and were eligible for sale to the Agencies. At March 31, 2016, we originated or purchased residential mortgage loans in all 50 states, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia through relationships with 508 mortgage brokers and 690 correspondents. At March 31, 2016, we also operated 26 retail locations located in 19 states, which primarily originate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans as part of our Mortgage Originations segment. In addition, we originate other consumer and commercial loans through our Community Banking segment. We have started to expand existing business lines, such as our distributed retail and direct-to-consumer mortgage origination businesses.
Our business also includes the activities conducted through our Community Banking segment. This segment provides deposits and fee based services to consumer, business, and mortgage lending customers through our Branch Banking, Business, and Commercial Banking, Government Banking, Warehouse Lending and Held-for-Investment Portfolio groups. We maintain a portfolio of commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans with our commercial customers and we originate or purchase residential mortgage loans through referrals from our branches, consumer direct call center and our website, flagstar.com. At March 31, 2016, we operated 99 branches in Michigan. We leverage the customer relationships we have gained throughout our branch network to cross-sell products to existing customers and increase our customer base. We have started to invest in new business initiatives, including builder finance, as well as expand our commercial leasing business.
At March 31, 2016, we had 2,771 full-time equivalent employees inclusive of account executives and loan officers.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 in those policies are critical to an understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements, in Item 1. Financial Statements herein. These policies relate to: (a) fair value measurements; (b) the determination of our allowance for loan losses; (c) the accounting for income taxes; and (d) the determination of our representation and warranty reserve. We believe the judgment, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes, in Item 1., are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes, in Item 1., herein, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, 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.

Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 increased $7 million, compared to the same period of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income after provision (benefit) for loan losses as a result of our strategic initiative executed throughout 2015 to replace lower credit quality assets with higher quality residential and commercial loans. As a result of this initiative, we were able to grow average interest earning assets by 27 percent from $9.4 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $11.9 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2016. This newly originated base of high credit quality interest earning assets is expected to generate a more consistent and higher level of net interest income consistent with what was experienced during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Net interest income is the amount we earn on the average balances of our interest-earning assets, less the amount the average balances of our interest-bearing liabilities cost us. Interest income recorded on loans is adjusted by the amortization of net premiums, discounts, and deferred fees and charges.
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
Net interest income increased $14 million to $79 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Our net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 2.66 percent, compared to 2.75 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was driven primarily by higher interest rates on longer duration funding used to match fund our loan growth throughout 2015.
Average loans held-for-sale totaled $2.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016, increasing $1.1 billion or 57.9 percent compared to the same period in 2015. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily due to a higher beginning balance and the transfer of $787 million loans held-for-investment early in the quarter and not sold until the end of the quarter.
Average loans held-for-investment totaled $5.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016, increasing $1.4 billion or 32.0 percent, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to us retaining more loan production on the balance sheet along with growth in warehouse and commercial loans.
Average interest-bearing deposits were $6.4 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2016, increasing $368 million or 6.1 percent, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was led by a $237 million increase in retail interest-bearing deposits and a $131 million increase in government interest-bearing deposits primarily driven by growth in savings accounts and certificates of deposit.

Provision (Benefit) for Loan Losses
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
The provision (benefit) for loan losses was $(13) million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $(4) million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $13 million benefit resulted primarily from a decrease in residential first mortgage loans due to the sale of $787 million unpaid principal balance of performing residential loans and the sale of $96 million unpaid principal balance of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency residential mortgage loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased to $12 million, compared to $40 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 net charge-offs included $6 million associated with the sale of $96 million unpaid principal balance of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net charge-offs included $36 million associated with loan sales. As a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment, net charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased to 0.86 percent from 3.97 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Excluding loan sales, net charge-offs as a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment were 0.40 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to net charge-offs as a percentage of the average loans held-for-investment of 0.45 percent during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
Total noninterest income was $105 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which was a $14 million decrease from $119 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2016, was primarily due to lower net gain on loan sales and a decline in the net return on the mortgage servicing asset, partially offset by an increase in other noninterest income.
Net gain on loan sales decreased $16 million to $75 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $91 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower net margin and a decline in fallout adjusted lock volume. The fallout-adjusted net margin on mortgage rate lock commitments decreased 18 basis points to 1.09 percent (including $9 million gain from the sale of $787 million unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans transferred from held-for-investment) during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to 1.27 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decline in margin was primarily driven by a return to more normalized margins during the three months ending March 31, 2016, as compared to stronger market pricing on higher demand during the three months ending March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the fallout-adjusted mortgage rate lock commitments decreased to $6.9
54
billion, compared to $7.2 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily resulting from lower mortgage demand during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Net loss on mortgage servicing rights was $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a loss of $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $4 million increase in loss was primarily due to a higher anticipated prepayment assumption as a result of lower interest rates.
Other noninterest income increased $8 million to $9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The improvement was primarily due to a $6 million fair value decline on HELOC loans that occurred in 2015 compared to a $1 million loss in 2016 with the remaining improvement being primarily driven by income on our bank owned life insurance which we did not hold in the first quarter of 2015 and higher gains on customer initiated interest rate swap derivatives.
Noninterest Expense

Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
Noninterest expense decreased $1 million to $137 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $138 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2016, was primarily due to a $5 million decrease in asset resolution expense primarily due to a decrease in default servicing and foreclosure costs, a $3 million decrease in federal insurance premiums due to an improvement our risk profile, partially offset by a $7 million increase in compensation and benefit expense driven by investment in new strategic initiatives and higher stock compensation expense.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $21 million, compared to $18 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was 34.3 percent, compared to 36.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The effective rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 differs from the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to tax credits, changes in warrants and bank owned life insurance partially offset by non-deductible expenses.
For information relating to income taxes, see Note 16 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.

OPERATING SEGMENTS
Overview
For detail on each segment's objectives, strategies, and priorities, please read this section in conjunction with Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, herein, for a full understanding of our consolidated financial performance.
Effective January 1, 2016, we reorganized our reportable segments to align with our new management reporting structure and to align with our long-term strategy. All prior periods were reclassified to be consistent with the current presentation. Prior to the reorganization, representation and warranty reserves were reported in the Mortgage Servicing segment and the MSR asset and associated costs were reported in the Other segment. As a result of this change, representation and warranty reserves, as well as the MSR asset and associated costs are now reported in the Mortgage Originations segment.
The net income (loss) by operating segment is presented in the following table:

Mortgage Originations
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
The Mortgage Originations segment net income decreased $28 million to $37 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $65 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a decrease in net gain on loan sales driven by lower mortgage loan originations.
Mortgage Servicing
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
The Mortgage Servicing segment reported a net loss of $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a net loss of $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The $8 million decrease in net loss was primarily due to a $4 million decrease in asset resolution expense and an increase in net interest income. Asset resolution expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in default servicing expenses and lower foreclosure costs. Net interest income increased primarily due to an increase in average company controlled deposits.
Community Banking
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Community Banking segment reported net income of $28 million, compared to $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in net income was primarily due to an $11 million increase in net gain on loan sales, a $9 million increase in benefit for loan losses and a $7 million increase in net interest income. The gain on loan sale was primarily driven by the gain from the sale of $787 million unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The provision (benefit) for loan losses improved primarily resulting from a decrease in residential first mortgage loans and the sale of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency loans. Net interest income increased primarily due to strong growth in average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a slight decrease in the net interest margin.
56
Other
Comparison to Prior Year Quarter
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Other segment net loss was $17 million, as compared to a net loss of $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The decrease in the net loss was primarily due to an increase in noninterest income related to a $1 million fair value adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to a $6 million fair value decline on HELOC loans that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Like all financial services companies, we engage in business activities and assume the related risks. The risks we are subject to in the normal course of business, include, but are not limited to, credit, regulatory compliance, legal, reputation, liquidity, market, operational and strategic. Our risk management activities 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 the risk of unexpected loss.
A comprehensive discussion of risk management and capital matters 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, 2015. Some of the more significant processes used to manage and control credit, liquidity, market, operational and capital 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. Like other financial services institutions, we make loans, extend credit, purchase securities, and enter into financial derivative contracts, all of which have related credit risk. The majority of our credit risk is associated with lending activities, as the acceptance and management of credit risk is central to profitable lending.
Mortgage Originations
Our Mortgage Originations segment originates, acquires and sells one-to-four family residential mortgage loans. We sell substantially all of the residential mortgage loans we produce into the secondary market on a whole loan basis or securitizing the loans into mortgage-backed securities with the agencies. We utilize production channels to originate or acquire mortgage loans and each production channel originates mortgage loan products which are underwritten to the same standards. We expect to continue to leverage technology to streamline the mortgage origination process, thereby bringing service and convenience to brokers and correspondents. We also continue to make available to our customers various web-based tools that facilitate the mortgage loan origination process through each of our production channels. Brokers and correspondents are able to register and lock loans, check the status of inventory, deliver documents in electronic format, generate closing documents, and request funds through the Internet. Funding for our Mortgage Originations segment is provided primarily by deposits and borrowings.
Correspondent. In a correspondent transaction, an unaffiliated bank or mortgage company completes the loan paperwork and also supplies the funding for the loan at closing. After the bank or mortgage company has funded the transaction, we purchase the loan at a market price. We perform a full review of each loan, whether purchased in bulk or not, purchasing only those that were originated in accordance with our underwriting guidelines. We have active correspondent relationships with 690 companies, including banks, credit unions and mortgage companies located in all 50 states.
Broker. In a broker transaction, an unaffiliated bank or mortgage brokerage company completes several steps of the loan origination process including the loan paperwork, but the loans are underwritten on a loan-level basis to our underwriting standards and we supply the funding for the loan at closing (also known as "table funding") thereby becoming the lender of record. Currently, we have active broker relationships with 508 Mortgage brokers, credit unions and mortgage brokerage companies located in all 50 states.
Home Lending. In a home lending transaction, loans are originated through our nationwide network of stand-alone home loan centers, as well as referrals from our Community Banking segment and the national direct to consumer call center. When loans are originated on a retail basis, most aspects of the lending process are completed internally, including the origination documentation (inclusive of customer disclosures) as well as the funding of the transactions. At March 31, 2016, we
57
maintained 26 retail locations (including two in Michigan and 17 outside of Michigan). At the same time, our centralized loan processing provides efficiencies and allows lending sales staff to focus on originations.
As of December 31, 2015, we are the 12th largest national originator of mortgage loans based on our residential first mortgage loan originations. The following tables disclose residential first mortgage loan originations by channel, type and mix for each respective period:

Mortgage Servicing
The Mortgage Servicing segment services and subservices mortgage 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. The Mortgage Servicing segment services residential mortgages for our own held-for-investment loan portfolio in the Community Banking segment for which it earns revenue via an intercompany service fee allocation. The segment also services and subservices loans for others, which primarily includes servicing Agency loans. 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 following table presents the unpaid principal balance (net of write downs) of residential loans serviced and the number of accounts associated with those loans. We are a top 25 mortgage servicer in the nation.

Loans held-for-investment
Loans held-for-investment decreased from $6.4 billion at December 31, 2015, to $5.6 billion at March 31, 2016, primarily due to residential loan sales. Our commercial loan portfolio remained flat as the increase in our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans was offset by a decline in our outstanding warehouse lines.
For information relating to the concentration of credit of our loans held-for-investment, see Note 5 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
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. The LTV requirements vary depending on occupancy, property type, loan amount, and FICO. Loans with LTVs exceeding 80 percent are required to obtain mortgage insurance.
At March 31, 2016, the largest geographic concentrations of our residential first mortgage loans in our held-for-investment portfolio were in California, Florida, and Michigan, which represented 50.6 percent of such loans outstanding.

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM") loans held-for-investment were originated using Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines as a base framework, and the debt-to-income ratio guidelines and documentation typically followed the automated underwriting system guidelines. Our underwriting guidelines were designed with the intent to minimize layered risk. The maximum ratios allowable for purposes of both the LTV ratio and the combined loan-to-value ("CLTV") ratio, which includes second mortgages on the same collateral, was 95 percent, but subordinate (or second mortgage) financing was not allowed over a 95 percent LTV ratio. At a 95 percent LTV ratio with private mortgage insurance, the minimum acceptable FICO score, or the "floor," was 620, and at lower LTV ratio levels, the FICO floor was also 620.
Set forth below as of March 31, 2016, are the amounts of the ARM loans in our held-for-investment loan portfolio with interest rate reset dates in the periods noted. As noted in the above table, loans may reset more than once over a three-year period and nonperforming loans do not reset while in the nonperforming status. Accordingly, the table below may include the same loans in more than one period. In addition, the table below excludes purchased loan portfolios.

Second mortgage loans. The majority of second mortgages we currently originate are closed in conjunction with the closing of the residential first mortgages originated by us. We generally require the same levels of documentation and ratios as with our residential first mortgages. Our current allowable debt-to-income ratio for approval of second mortgages is capped at 43 percent. We currently limit the maximum CLTV to 80 percent and FICO scores to a minimum of 680. Current fixed rate loans are available with terms up to 15 years. The second mortgage loans require full documentation and are underwritten and priced to ensure high credit quality and loan profitability.
60
Home Equity Line of Credit loans. Underwriting guidelines for our HELOC originations have been established to attract higher credit quality loans with long-term profitability. The minimum FICO is 680, maximum CLTV up to 89 percent, and the maximum debt-to-income ratio is 43 percent. HELOCs are adjustable-rate loans that generally contain a 10-year interest-only draw period followed by a 20-year amortizing period. We also offer HELOC loans for a term period of five to 15 years to repay. The minimum FICO is 680, maximum CLTV up to 89 percent, and the maximum debt-to-income ratio is 43 percent. Included in HELOC loans are interest-only loans. At March 31, 2016, the unpaid principal balance of our interest-only mortgage loans was $63 million.
Commercial loans held-for-investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we have continued to grow our longer term commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. Our Commercial and Business Banking group includes relationships with relationship managers throughout Michigan's major markets. Our commercial loans held-for-investment totaled $2.7 billion at both March 31, 2016 and at December 31, 2015. The portfolio consists of three loan types: commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, and warehouse loans, each of which is discussed in more detail below.

Commercial and industrial loans. Commercial and industrial held-for-investment loan facilities typically include lines of credit and term loans to financial service, small and middle market businesses for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, owner occupied real estate loans, equipment purchases, and expansion projects. Most of our commercial and industrial loans earn interest at a variable rate and we offer our customers the ability to enter into interest rate swaps for which we offset our risk by entering into offsetting market trades.
Warehouse lending. We also offer warehouse lines of credit to other mortgage lenders. These allow the lender to fund the closing of residential first mortgage loans. Each extension or draw-down on the line is collateralized by mortgage loans being funded and is paid off once the loan is sold to an outside investor which may include ourselves. Underlying mortgage loans are predominately originated using the agencies' underwriting standards. We believe we are increasing market share in the warehouse lending market through our strategic initiative to increase lending to customers who originate loans they then sell to outside third party investors. The aggregate committed amount of adjustable rate warehouse lines of credit granted to other mortgage lenders at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $2.3 billion, of which $1.3 billion was outstanding,
Credit Quality
Management considers a number of qualitative and quantitative factors in assessing the level of our allowance for loan losses. See the section captioned "Allowance for Loan Losses" in this discussion. As illustrated in the following tables, trends in certain credit quality characteristics such as nonperforming loans and past due statistics have recently shown signs of improvement. This is predominantly a result of the nonperforming and TDR loan sales, as well as run off of the legacy portfolios and the addition of new loans with strong credit characteristics to the held-for-investment portfolio.

Past due loans held-for-investment
For all portfolios 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 accrued interest income is reversed. Loans return to accrual status when principal and interest become current and are anticipated to be fully collectible. At March 31, 2016, we had $64 million of past due loans held-for-investment. Of those past due loans, $53 million loans were nonperforming. At December 31, 2015, we had $80 million of past due loans held-for-investment. Of those past due loans, $66 million loans were nonperforming. The decrease from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016 was primarily due to the sale of nonperforming residential first mortgage loans.
Consumer loans. As of March 31, 2016, nonperforming consumer loans decreased from December 31, 2015, primarily due to the sale of nonperforming residential first mortgage loans. Net charge-offs in consumer loans totaled $12 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $42 million three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to the charge-offs of $6 million and $36 million related to the sale or transfer of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.
Commercial loans. As of March 31, 2016, nonperforming commercial loans totaled $1 million, compared to $2 million at December 31, 2015. There were no net charge-offs in commercial loans for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to recoveries of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The $16 million decrease in total past due loans at March 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015 was primarily due to improved asset quality coupled with the sale of $6 million nonperforming residential first mortgage loans during the three month period ended March 31, 2016. The 30 to 59 days past due loans decreased to $8 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $10 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to improved asset quality.

(2) | Commercial loans include: commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and warehouse loans. |
Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are modified loans in which a borrower demonstrates financial difficulties and for which a concession has been granted. The decrease in our total TDR loans at March 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015 was primarily due to the sale of TDR loans during three months ended March 31, 2016. Nonperforming TDRs were 49.9 percent and 53.4 percent of total nonperforming loans at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Nonperforming TDRs are included in nonaccrual loans. TDRs remain in nonperforming status until a borrower has made at least six consecutive months of payments under the modified terms. Performing TDRs are excluded from nonaccrual loans because it is reasonably assured that all contractual principal and interest due under the restructured terms will be collected. Within consumer nonperforming loans, residential first mortgage TDRs were 40.9 percent of residential first mortgage nonperforming loans at March 31, 2016, compared to 50.5 percent at December 31, 2015.
65
The $35 million decrease in TDRs loans at March 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015 was primarily due to the sale of $31 million TDR loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable losses that are inherent in our loans held-for-investment portfolio but which have not yet been realized. The consumer loan portfolio includes residential first mortgages, second mortgages, HELOC, and other consumer loans. The commercial loan portfolio includes commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and warehouse lending. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
The allowance for loan losses decreased $25 million to $162 million at March 31, 2016, compared to $187 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease from December 31, 2015 was primarily driven by a decrease in residential first mortgage loans and the sale of $96 million unpaid principal balance of nonperforming, TDR and non-agency loans during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans held-for-investment decreased to 2.9 percent as of March 31, 2016 from 3.0 percent as of December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016, we had a 4.5 percent allowance coverage of our consumer loan portfolio, consistent with the decrease in consumer past due loans and a decrease in lower quality assets. The commercial loan allowance for loan losses coverage ratio was 1.3 percent at March 31, 2016, reflecting the low level of losses in the commercial loan portfolio.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not have sufficient funds to meet current and future cash flow needs as they become due. The liquidity of a financial institution reflects our ability to meet loan requests, 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.
We primarily originate agency-eligible loans held-for-sale 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, private party whole loan sales, or by pledging them to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and borrowing against them. We use the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis as a significant source for funding our residential mortgage banking business due to our flexibility in terms of being able to borrow or repay borrowings as daily cash needs require.
Our principal uses of funds include loan originations and operating expenses. At March 31, 2016, we had outstanding rate-lock commitments of $5.7 billion, compared to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2015. These commitments may expire without being drawn upon and therefore, do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Total commitments totaled $7.7 billion at March 31, 2016 and $5.5 billion at December 31, 2015.
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
68
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.
In addition to operating expenses at a particular level of mortgage originations, our cash flows are fairly predictable and relate primarily to the funding cash outflows to originate or purchase residential first mortgages and cash inflows from sales of those residential first mortgages. Our mortgage warehouse funding line of business also generates cash flows as funds are extended to correspondent relationships to close new loans. Those loans are repaid when the correspondent sells the loan. Other material cash flows relate to growing our commercial lines of business and the loans we service for others and consist primarily of monthly principal, interest, taxes and insurance escrow payments.
Our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows shows cash used in operating activities of $1.9 billion and $3.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This primarily reflects our mortgage operations and is a reflection of the manner in which we execute certain loan sales for which the cash outflow is included in operating activities and the corresponding cash inflow is included in the investing section.
As governed and defined by our internal 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 collateralized 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 Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, accelerating sales of loans held-for-sale (agencies and/or private), selling loans held-for-investment or securities, borrowing through the use of repurchase agreements, reducing originations, making changes to warehouse funding facilities, or borrowing from the discount window.
Our liquidity position is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources or operations.
Deposits
Our deposits consist of three primary categories: retail deposits, government deposits, and company controlled deposits. Total deposits increased $534 billion, or 6.7 percent at March 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, primarily due to increases in company controlled deposits.
We have continued to focus on increasing our core deposit accounts such as branch and commercial demand deposits, savings and money market accounts. These core deposits provide a lower cost funding source to the Bank. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 our core deposits increased $15 million primarily driven by growth in commercial certificates of deposit and demand deposits, partially offset by a decline in retail savings accounts.
We utilize local governmental agencies, and other public units, as an additional source for deposit funding. These deposit accounts include $425 million of certificates of deposit with maturities typically less than one year and $687 million in checking and savings accounts at March 31, 2016.
Company controlled deposits arise due to our servicing of loans for others and represent the portion of the investor custodial accounts on deposit with the Bank. Certain deposits require us to reimburse the owner for the spread on these funds. This cost is a component of net loan administration income. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 these deposits increased $389 million, primarily due to an increase in loan prepayments due to higher refinance activity.
We participate in the Certificates of Deposit Account Registry Service ("CDARS") program, through which certain customer certificates of deposit ("CD") are exchanged for CDs of similar amounts from other participating banks. This gives customers the potential to receive FDIC insurance up to $50 million. At March 31, 2016, we had $271 million of total CDs enrolled in the CDARS program.

Borrowings
The Federal Home Loan Bank provides loans, also referred to as advances, on a fully collateralized basis, to savings banks and other member financial institutions. We are currently authorized through a resolution of our board of directors to apply for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank using approved loan types as collateral. At March 31, 2016, we had the authority and approval from the Federal Home Loan Bank to utilize a line of credit of up to $7.0 billion and we may access that line to the extent that collateral is provided. At March 31, 2016, we had $2.9 billion of advances outstanding and an additional $0.7 billion of collateralized borrowing capacity available at Federal Home Loan Bank.
We have arrangements with the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago to borrow as appropriate from its discount window. The discount window is a borrowing facility that is intended to be used only 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 commercial and industrial loans that are eligible based on Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago guidelines. At March 31, 2016, we had pledged commercial and industrial loans amounting to $265 million with a lendable value of $249 million. At December 31, 2015, we had pledged commercial and industrial loans amounting to $75 million with a lendable value of $45 million. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had no borrowings outstanding against this line of credit.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $666 million at March 31, 2016 from December 31, 2015. We rely upon advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank 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 Federal Home Loan Bank advances fluctuates from time to time depending on our current
70
inventory of mortgage loans held-for-sale and the availability of lower cost funding sources. Our portfolio includes short-term fixed rate advances, long-term LIBOR adjustable advances, and long-term fixed rate advances. Interest rates on the LIBOR index advances reset every three-months and the advances may be prepaid without penalty, with notification, at scheduled three-month intervals after an initial 12-month lockout period.
See Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information about Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Debt. As part of our overall capital strategy, we previously raised capital through the issuance of trust-preferred securities by our special purpose financing entities formed for the offerings. The outstanding trust preferred securities mature 30 years from issuance, are callable by us after five years and pay interest quarterly. Under these trust preferred arrangements, we have the right to defer interest payments to the trust preferred security holders for up to five years without default or penalty.
On January 27, 2012, we notified holders of the trust preferred securities our intention to exercise the contractual right to defer regularly scheduled quarterly payments of interest, beginning with the February 2012 payment. These payments will be periodically evaluated and reinstated when appropriate, subject to provisions of the Consent Order and Supervisory Agreement. At March 31, 2016, we have deferred interest payments for 17 consecutive quarters for a total amount of $29 million.
For information relating to debt, see Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of reduced earnings and or declines in the net market value of the balance sheet primarily due to changes in interest rates, currency exchange rates, or equity prices. We do not have any material foreign currency exchange risk or equity price risk. The primary market risk is interest rate risk and results from timing differences in the repricing of our assets and liabilities, changes in the relationships between rate indices, and the potential exercise of explicit or embedded options.
Interest rate risk is monitored by the asset liability committee ("ALCO"), which is composed of our executive officers and other members of management, in accordance with policies approved by our board of directors. In determining the appropriate level of interest rate risk, the ALCO considers the impact projected interest rate scenarios have on earnings and capital, liquidity, business strategies, and other factors. The ALCO meets monthly or as deemed necessary to review, among other things, the sensitivity of assets and liabilities to interest rate changes, the book and fair values of assets and liabilities, unrealized gains and losses, purchase and sale activity, loans held-for-sale and commitments to originate loans, and the maturities of investments, borrowings and time deposits.
Financial instruments used to manage interest rate risk include derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward sales commitments. Further discussion of the use of and the accounting for derivative instruments is included in Notes 8 and 19 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. All of our derivatives are accounted for at fair market value. All mortgage loan production originated for sale is accounted for on a fair value basis.
To effectively measure 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. From these simulations, interest rate risk is quantified and appropriate strategies are developed and implemented. Additionally, duration and net interest income sensitivity measures are utilized when they provide added value to the overall interest rate risk management process. The overall interest rate risk position and strategies are reviewed by executive management and the board of directors on an ongoing basis. Business is traditionally managed to reduce overall exposure to changes in interest rates. However, management has the latitude to increase interest rate sensitivity within certain limits if, in management's judgment, the increase will enhance profitability.
Net interest income simulation analysis provides estimated net interest income of the current balance sheet across alternative interest rate scenarios. The net interest income analysis measures the sensitivity of interest sensitive earnings over a 12 month time horizon. The analysis holds the current balance sheet values constant and does not take into account management intervention. The net interest income simulation demonstrates the level of interest rate risk inherent in the existing balance sheet.

The following table is a summary of the changes in our net interest income that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates. The interest rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate changes plus or minus 200 basis points. The minus 200 basis point shock scenario is a flattener scenario as rates are floored at zero given the current interest rate levels.

We have also projected the potential impact to net interest income in a hypothetical "bear flattener" interest rate scenario as of March 31, 2016. When increasing short-term interest rates instantaneously by 100 basis points and holding the longer term interest rates unchanged, the decrease to net interest income over a 12-month and 24-month period based on our forecasted balance sheet is a loss of $16 million and $39 million, respectively.
In the net interest income simulation, our balance sheet exhibits slight asset sensitivity. When interest rates rise our interest income increases, conversely when interest rates fall our interest income decreases. The net interest income simulation measures the interest rate risk of the balance sheet over a short period of time, typically 12 months. An additional analysis is completed that measures the interest rate risk over an extended period of time. The Economic Value of Equity ("EVE") analysis provides a fair value of the balance sheet in alternative interest rate scenarios. The EVE analysis does not take into account management intervention and assumes the new rate environment is constant and the change is instantaneous.
The following table is a summary of the changes in our EVE that are projected to result from hypothetical changes in market interest rates. EVE is the market value of assets, less the market value of liabilities, adjusted for the market value of off-balance sheet instruments. The interest rate scenarios presented in the table include interest rates at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and as adjusted by instantaneous parallel rate changes upward to 300 basis points and downward to 100 basis points. The scenarios are not comparable due to differences in the interest rate environments, including the absolute level of rates and the shape of the yield curve. Each rate scenario reflects unique prepayment, repricing, and reinvestment assumptions. Management derives these assumptions by considering published market prepayment expectations, the repricing characteristics of individual instruments or groups of similar instruments, our historical experience, and our asset and liability management strategy. Further, this analysis assumes that certain instruments would not be affected by the changes in interest rates or would be partially affected due to the characteristics of the instruments.
Further, as this framework evaluates risks to the current statement of financial condition only, changes to the volumes and pricing of new business opportunities that can be expected in the different interest rate outcomes are not incorporated in this analytical framework. For instance, analysis of our history suggests that declining interest rate levels are associated with higher loan production volumes at higher levels of profitability. While this "natural business hedge" historically offset most, if not all, of the identified risks associated with declining interest rate scenarios, these factors fall outside of the EVE framework. Further, there can be no assurance that this natural business hedge would positively affect the economic value of equity in the same manner and to the same extent as in the past.
There are limitations inherent in any methodology used to estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates. It is not possible to fully model the market risk in instruments with leverage, option, or prepayment risks. Also, we are affected by basis risk, which is the difference in repricing characteristics of similar term rate indices. As such, this analysis is not intended to be a precise forecast of the effect a change in market interest rates would have on us.
If EVE increases in any interest rate scenario, that would indicate an increasing direction for the margin in that hypothetical rate scenario. A perfectly matched balance sheet would possess no change in the EVE, no matter what the rate scenario. The following table presents the EVE in the stated interest rate scenarios:

Our balance sheet exhibits sensitivity in a rising interest rate scenario as the EVE decreases. The decrease in EVE is the result of the amount of liabilities that would be expected to reprice in the near term exceeding the amount of assets that could similarly reprice over the same time period because such assets may have longer maturities or repricing terms. The (100) is a flattener scenario as shorter term rates are unable to decrease 100 basis points due to the absolute level of rates. Therefore, the yields of the longer term variable rate assets decrease by the full 100 basis points, but the liabilities repricing to shorter term rates decrease to less than 100 basis points, leading to a reduction in EVE.
Mortgage servicing rights
At March 31, 2016, MSRs at fair value decreased $15 million to $281 million, compared to $296 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase in anticipated and actual prepayments and a bulk servicing sale of $2.7 billion in underlying loans.
Once fully phased in, the Basel III capital rules will significantly reduce the allowable amount of the fair value of MSRs included in Tier 1 capital. We have continued to reduce our MSR concentration which should result in a decrease of the exclusion to our allowable capital levels under Basel III. Our ratio of MSRs to Tier 1 capital was 19.3 percent and 20.6 percent at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
The principal balance of the loans underlying our total MSRs was $26.6 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $26.1 billion at December 31, 2015, primarily attributable to an increase in loan volume, partially offset by our bulk servicing sales of $2.7 billion in underlying loans.
For information relating to the mortgage servicing rights, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
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 strengthen 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
The amount of loans with government guarantees totaled $462 million at March 31, 2016 and the loans which we have not yet repurchased but had the unilateral right to repurchase totaled $10 million and were classified as loans with government guarantees. At December 31, 2015, loans with government guarantees totaled $485 million and those loans which we had not yet repurchased but had the unilateral right to repurchase totaled $9 million and were classified as loans with government guarantees. The balance of this portfolio decreased at March 31, 2016, primarily due to loans with government guarantees transferred to held-for-sale and loan liquidations, partially offset by an increase in repurchased loans.
Substantially all of these loans continue to be insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") and management believes that the reimbursement process is proceeding appropriately. These repurchased loans earn interest at a statutory rate, which varies for each loan, but is based on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rate at the time the loan becomes
73
greater than 60 days delinquent. This interest is recorded as interest income and the related claims settlement expenses are recorded in asset resolution expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For further information on loans with government guarantees, see Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.
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).
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had $7 million in Fannie Mae new repurchase demands and $6 million in Freddie Mac new repurchase demands.
The following table summarizes the trends with respect to key model attributes and assumptions for estimating the representation and warranty reserve:

Capital
Under the capital distribution regulations, a savings bank that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company must either notify or seek approval from the OCC of an association capital distribution at least 30 days prior to the declaration of a dividend or the approval by the board of directors of the proposed capital distribution. The 30-day period allows the OCC to determine whether the distribution would not be advisable. Because we are under the Consent Order, we currently must seek approval from the OCC prior to making a capital distribution from the Bank. In addition, under the Supervisory Agreement, the Company agreed to request prior non-objection of the Federal Reserve to pay dividends or other capital distributions. Under Federal Reserve requirements, the Bank must also obtain non-objection of the Federal Reserve prior to declaring or paying dividends.
Under the terms of the Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C (the "Series C Preferred Stock") the Company may defer payments of dividends. Beginning with the February 2012 payment, we have exercised our contractual right to defer regularly scheduled quarterly payments of dividends on Series C Preferred Stock, and is therefore currently in arrears with the dividend payments. As of March 31, 2016, the amount of the arrearage on the dividend payments of the Series C Preferred Stock was $94 million. At the time that the Company pays the deferred dividends, this payment will result in a reduction of equity. Currently, the impact of the deferred dividends is removed from net income, for calculating our earnings per share. Subject to market conditions, regulatory approval, and other conditions, we continue to make progress on our plans to refinance our Series C Preferred Stock and restore interest payments on our trust preferred securities, thus enhancing our capital structure.
Consent Orders
Effective October 23, 2012, the Bank's board of directors executed a Stipulation and Consent (the "Stipulation"), accepting the issuance of a Consent Order (the "Consent Order") by the OCC. The Consent Order replaces the supervisory agreement entered into between the Bank and the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") on January 27, 2010, which the OCC terminated simultaneous with issuance of the Consent Order. The Company is still subject to the Supervisory Agreement with the Federal Reserve. We continue to be encouraged by our progress with the OCC on the Consent Order. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Consent Order, please refer to the copy of the Consent Order filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 24, 2012.
74
On September 29, 2014, the Bank entered into a Consent Order with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the "CFPB"). The Consent Order relates to alleged violations of federal consumer financial laws arising from the Bank’s residential first mortgage loan loss mitigation practices and default servicing operations dating back to 2011. Under the terms of the Consent Order, the Bank has paid $28 million for borrower remediation and $10 million in civil money penalties. The settlement does not involve any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Bank or our employees, directors, officers, or agents. For further information and a complete description of all of the terms of the Consent Order, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2014.
Supervisory Agreement
The Company is subject to the Supervisory Agreement, which will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the Federal Reserve. The failure to comply with the Supervisory Agreement could result in the initiation of further enforcement action by the Federal Reserve, including the imposition of further operating restrictions, and could result in additional enforcement actions against the Company. The Company has taken actions which it believes are appropriate to comply with, and intends to maintain compliance with, all of the requirements of the Supervisory Agreement. 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 Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 28, 2010.
Regulatory Capital Composition - Transition
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Our capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. We are currently subject to regulatory capital rules issued by U.S. banking regulators
Effective January 1, 2015, we became subject to the Basel III rules, which include certain transition provisions. Capital deductions related to the Company's MSRs and deferred tax assets are recognized in 20 percent annual increments, and will be fully recognized as of January 1, 2018. When presented on a fully phased-in basis, capital, risk-weighted assets, and the capital ratios assume all regulatory capital adjustments and deductions are fully recognized. As of March 31, 2016, the Company and the Bank were subject to the transitional phase-in limitation on deductions related to MSRs and certain deferred tax assets. The annual incremental change in the deductions due to the increase in the transitional phase-in from 40 percent in 2015 to 60 percent in 2016 reduced our regulatory capital ratios.
Effective January 1, 2016, we became subject to the capital conservation buffer under the Basel III rules, subjecting a banking organization to certain limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers if the organization does not maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer for 2016 must be greater than .625 percent in order to not be subject to limitations. The Company and the Bank had a capital conservation buffer of 9.46 percent and 13.63 percent, respectively as of March 31, 2016. When fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, the capital conservation buffer must be greater than 2.5 percent and will effectively increase the minimum common equity Tier 1 capital ratio to 7.0 percent, the minimum Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio to 8.5 percent and the minimum total risk-based capital ratio to 10.5 percent.
The new regulations grandfather the regulatory capital treatment of hybrid debt and equity securities, such as trust preferred securities issued prior to May 19, 2010, for banks or holding companies with less than $15.0 billion in total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009. Although the Company continues to include our existing trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital, the prohibition on the use of these securities as Tier 1 capital going forward may limit the Company’s ability to raise capital in the future.
75
At March 31, 2016, we were considered "well-capitalized" for regulatory purposes. The following tables show the regulatory capital ratios as of the dates indicated:

N/A - Not applicable
(1) | Based on adjusted total assets for purposes of Tier 1 leverage capital and risk-weighted assets for purposes Tier1, common equity Tier 1, and total risk-based capital. |
Our Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased at March 31, 2016, compared to December 31, 2015, primarily resulting from an increase in the total adjusted tangible asset base which utilizes quarter-to-date average balances and an increase in the deductions related to DTAs and MSRs due to the change in the phase-in percentage from 40 percent in December to 60 percent in March.
The Tier 1 and Total Risk-Based capital ratios for the Company and the Bank increased as a result of the positive impact of earnings that was partially offset by the impact of the increase in the deductions related to DTAs and MSRs due to the change in the phase-in percentage. The Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio for the company deceased primarily as a result of the increase in the deductions related to DTAs and MSRs due to the change in the phase-in percentage.
Banks with assets greater than $10 billion are required to submit a Dodd-Frank stress test ("DFAST") under the final rules established by their primary regulator. DFAST requires banks to project results over a nine-quarter planning horizon under three scenarios (baseline, adverse, and severely adverse) published by the Federal Reserve and to show that the bank would exceed regulatory minimum capital standards for the Tier 1 leverage ratio, Tier 1 common ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and the Total risk-based capital ratio under all of these scenarios. We are not subject to the Federal Reserve’s Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review ("CCAR") program.
Certain regulatory capital ratios for the Bank and the Company as of March 31, 2016 are shown in the following table:
March 31, 2016 | Regulatory Minimums | Regulatory Minimums to be Well-Capitalized | Bank | Bancorp | |||||||

(1) | See "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures." |
76
Looking at the impact of a fully phased in implementation of Basel III, our Tier 1 leverage ratio would have been 10.00 percent and our Tier 1 common ratio would have been 10.72 percent at March 31, 2016. The impact to our Tier 1 leverage ratio is mostly driven by the treatment that mortgage servicing rights receive under Basel III. Over the long term, we plan to continue to reduce our mortgage servicing rights to Tier 1 ratio, taking into consideration market conditions to guide our pace of MSR reduction. At March 31, 2016, we had $281 million of mortgage servicing rights, representing 19.3 percent of Tier 1 capital. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce our mortgage servicing rights exposure over time.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report includes non-GAAP financial measures such as the estimated Basel III ratios. 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. 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.
Basel III (transitional) to Basel III (fully phased-in) reconciliation. On January 1, 2015, the Basel III rules became effective, subject to transition provisions primarily related to regulatory deductions and adjustments impacting common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 capital. When fully phased-in, Basel III, will increase capital requirements through higher minimum capital levels as well as through increases in risk-weights for certain exposures. Additionally, the final Basel III rules place greater emphasis on common equity. In October 2013, the OCC and Federal Reserve released final rules detailing the U.S. implementation of Basel III and the application of the risk-based and leverage capital rules to top-tier savings and loan holding companies. We have transitioned to the Basel III framework beginning in January 2015 and are subject to a phase-in period extending through 2018. Accordingly, the calculations provided below are estimates. These measures are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures because they are not formally defined by GAAP and the Basel III implementation regulations will not be fully phased-in until January 1, 2019. The regulations are subject to change as clarifying guidance becomes available and the calculations currently include our interpretations of the requirements including informal feedback received through the regulatory process. Other entities may calculate the Basel III ratios differently from ours based on their interpretation of the guidelines. Since analysts and banking regulators may assess our capital adequacy using the Basel III framework, we believe that it is useful to provide investors information enabling them to assess our capital adequacy on the same basis.
