Notes To The Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1                            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of GreenPoint Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries (“GreenPoint” or the “Company”) are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial condition as of the dates indicated and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods shown are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year.

The Company adopted a plan to exit the manufactured housing lending business in December 2001. Current and comparative prior period consolidated statements of income present the results of continuing operations and discontinued operations separately.

These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements presented should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Accounting for Loan Sales

GreenPoint sells loans both in the whole loan market and through various securitization vehicles.

When GreenPoint has sold mortgages on a whole loan basis, in some cases it has retained the servicing rights related to the loans. In instances where GreenPoint does not retain the servicing rights to the loans, the gain or loss on the sale is equal to the difference between the proceeds received and the book basis of the loans sold. In instances where GreenPoint does retain the servicing rights, the gain or loss also depends in part on the fair value attributed to the servicing rights.

GreenPoint has sold mortgages subject to various representations and warranties. Upon loan sale, GreenPoint establishes a loss reserve for estimated losses to be incurred under these agreements. Additions to the representation and warranty reserve are reported as reduction to gain on sale of loans.

When GreenPoint has securitized certain mortgages, in some cases it has retained the servicing rights and one or more retained interests. In calculating the gain or loss on the sale, GreenPoint allocates the cost basis of the loans sold between the assets sold, and the retained interests and servicing rights based on their relative fair values at the date of sale. A gain or loss is recognized as the difference between the cash proceeds from the sale and the allocated cost basis of the assets sold.

 

Retained Interests

Retained interests include interest-only strips, subordinated certificates, transferor interests, demand notes and the recorded liabilities for limited recourse provided on mortgage loans and recourse provided on manufactured housing loans securitized and sold.

GreenPoint classifies its retained interest assets as available for sale and carries these securities at fair value. Generally, if the fair value of retained interests declines below its amortized cost basis, the change in valuation is recognized in the consolidated statement of income and is classified as a change in valuation of retained interests. Unrealized gains are reported, net of applicable taxes, in accumulated other comprehensive income, as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

GreenPoint reviews the adequacy of the liability under recourse exposure based on management’s best estimate of future cash flows associated with the recourse arrangement. The change in valuation is recognized in the consolidated statement of income and is classified as discontinued operations.

To obtain fair values, quoted market prices are used, if available. Because market quotes are generally not available for retained interests, GreenPoint generally estimates fair value based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows using assumptions of prepayments, defaults, loss severity rates, and discount rates that GreenPoint believes market participants would use for similar assets and liabilities.

Servicing Assets

Servicing assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value based on defined risk strata and are amortized in proportion to and over the expected servicing period.

GreenPoint stratifies its servicing assets based on the risk characteristics of the underlying loan pools and the assets are evaluated for impairment based on the risk characteristics. A valuation allowance is recognized through a charge to current earnings for servicing assets that have an amortized balance in excess of the current fair value.

The fair value of servicing assets is determined by calculating the present value of estimated future net servicing cash flows, using assumptions of prepayments, defaults, servicing costs and discount rates that GreenPoint believes market participants would use for similar assets.

 

Goodwill Amortization

Goodwill, which is attributable to the retail banking segment, is carried at its January 1, 2002 book value and is tested, at least annually, for impairment.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company adopted the disclosure approach under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure”. Under these standards the Company discloses in the notes to the financial statements the pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share, determined as if the fair value-based method had been applied in measuring compensation cost. The Company continues to apply APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the Company’s stock option plans.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, to stock-based employee compensation.

NOTE 4                            Recourse Arrangements, Retained Interests in Securitizations and Servicing Assets

 

The following describes the balances associated with recourse arrangements, the balances and activity in the corresponding retained interests, the balances and activity in servicing assets and the economic assumptions used in valuing the retained interests and servicing assets.

 

Recourse Arrangements

GreenPoint has established liabilities for limited recourse provided on mortgage loans and recourse provided on manufactured housing loans that have been securitized or sold. The investors and the securitization trusts have no recourse to GreenPoint’s other assets for failure of debtors to pay when due, except for the retained interests related to both mortgage and manufactured housing securitizations and the liabilities under mortgage demand notes and the corporate guarantee related to manufactured housing securitizations.

GreenPoint has loans sold with recourse with the following principal balances, maximum recourse exposures and recorded liabilities.

At September 30, 2003, GreenPoint has six manufactured housing securitizations with principal balances of $1.6 billion, which have cumulative (actual plus projected) letter of credit draws equal to the maximum recourse exposure for those securitizations. GreenPoint records a liability based on the net present value of the projected letter of credit draws. At September 30, 2003, the projected draws exceed the recorded liability by $23 million, representing future interest expense.

In the third quarter of 2002, GreenPoint agreed to issue additional letters of credit totaling $52 million in favor of a surety provider on four of its outstanding securitizations. Additionally, GreenPoint agreed to exercise its optional termination right and retire each transaction insured by the surety provider when the underlying loans in each securitization total 10% of the original loan balance. The exercise of this option is a standard and expected operating procedure in the securitization markets, and its projected financial statement impact is included in the projected operating results of the discontinued business. In exchange, the surety provider agreed to amend servicer termination provisions, which, prior to their amendment, would have enabled the surety provider to transfer the servicing of certain loans to a third party.

Consistent with this agreement, an additional liability under recourse exposure was recorded to recognize the additional draws that could arise from the new letters of credit. The balances and corresponding liability relating to manufactured housing securitizations included in this note reflect the impact of the agreement. Additionally, the servicing asset valuation and the projected operating results have been adjusted to reflect the amended servicing termination provisions.

On a quarterly basis, GreenPoint reviews retained interests for impairment based on management’s best estimate of the fair value of future cash flows associated with the retained interests. GreenPoint also reviews the adequacy of the value of the recorded liability on a quarterly basis, based on management’s best estimate of future cash flows associated with the corporate guarantee.

Servicing Assets

On a quarterly basis, GreenPoint reviews capitalized servicing rights for impairment. This review is performed based on risk strata, which are determined on a disaggregated basis given the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans. For manufactured housing loans, the predominant risk characteristics are loan type and interest rate type. For mortgage loans, the predominant risk characteristics are loan type and interest rate. The asset pools underlying certain mortgage and manufactured housing servicing assets at times do not meet agreed-upon servicing covenants. Management evaluates the impact of these covenants on the value of the servicing assets and incorporates the assessment in their quarterly impairment review.

The activity in servicing assets is summarized as follows:

The estimated fair values of manufactured housing servicing assets were $37 million and $54 million at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $38 million at December 31, 2002.

The estimated fair values of mortgage servicing assets were $138 million and $78 million at September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $90 million at December 31, 2002.

Servicer advances receivable totaled $97 million and $85 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

NOTE 5                            Derivative Financial Instruments

 

GreenPoint enters into mandatory commitments to deliver mortgage whole loans to various investors and to issue private securities and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities (“forward delivery commitments”). The forward delivery commitments are used to manage the interest rate risk associated with funded mortgage loans and interest rate lock commitments made by GreenPoint to mortgage borrowers. The notional amounts of these contracts were $3.3 billion and $3.2 billion at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The forward delivery commitments designated as fair value hedges associated with funded loans had notional values of $2.3 billion and $2.4 billion at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The notional amounts of forward delivery commitments used to manage the interest rate risk associated with interest rate lock commitments on mortgage loans were $836 million and $833 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The amount of hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was a gain of $4 million and is included in gain on sale of loans. There was no gain or loss from hedge ineffectiveness for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

The notional amounts of derivatives do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and, thus, are not a measure of the Company’s exposure through its use of derivatives. The amounts exchanged are determined by reference to the notional amounts and the other terms of the derivatives.

The risks inherent in derivatives are the potential inability of a counterpart to meet the terms of its contract and the risk associated with changes in the fair values of the contracts due to movements in the underlying interest rates. The current credit exposure of derivatives is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date. At December 31, 2002, the receivable on contracts with a positive fair value was $1 million. There was no receivable at September 30, 2003. To reduce credit risk, management may deem it necessary to obtain collateral.

The notional value of swaps related to specific manufactured housing securitizations was $556 million and $639 million at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002, GreenPoint originated manufactured housing loans totaling $2 million and $106 million. These loans related to commitments outstanding at December 31, 2001 and were recorded at their estimated fair value. These loans were sold during the third quarter of 2002 at a sales price, which approximated their previously estimated fair value.

 

NOTE 8                            Business Segments

 

The Company consists of three domestic business segments offering unique products and services. The Mortgage Banking segment specializes in “A” quality loans, including agency qualifying loans and Jumbo A loans and specializes in Alternative A mortgage loan products, which are primarily obtained from the Company’s network of registered mortgage brokers. The Retail Banking segment consists of 85 full service banking offices offering a variety of financial services to the Greater New York area. The Balance Sheet Management segment includes earnings from the held for investment mortgage portfolios and other corporate investment activities.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as described in Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. The Company evaluates the performance of its business segments based on income before income taxes. Expenses under the direct control of each business segment and the expense of premises and equipment incurred to support business operations are allocated accordingly, by segment. Credit losses are charged to the balance sheet management segment in an amount equal to net charge-offs. The expenses relating to administrative units of the Company such as executive, finance and audit are not allocated to individual operating segments.

Overview Of Third Quarter 2003 Financial Results

 

                                          Net income from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2003 was $0.82 per diluted share, or $101 million, a decrease of 13% compared with the third quarter of 2002. The results reflect the sudden increase in interest rates during the third quarter, which had a negative impact on net interest income and mortgage banking revenues.

               The normal process of reviewing and verifying financial information for the filing of the Form 10Q for the third quarter ended September 30, 2003 led to an adjustment in the net interest income and earnings per share that was reported in the Company’s earnings announcement via news release on October 16, 2003.

               The change occurred in the accrual of interest for loans held for sale. Some loans that had been sold during the quarter continued to accrue interest beyond the sale date. The adjustment reversed those accruals. No adjustments were necessary for prior quarters.

               The change to accrued interest led to a reduction of net interest income, and therefore a reduction in net income after tax of $3.1 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.03 from $0.85 to $0.82. All changes resulting from the adjustment are reflected in the financial statements contained in this Form 10Q.

 

                                          Total mortgage loan originations for the third quarter of 2003 were $9.4 billion, a decrease of 3% over the $9.7 billion originated during the third quarter of 2002. Applications declined 25% over the year ago quarter. The decreases reflected a decline in refinancing activity associated with the rise in interest rates.

 

                                          Mortgage sales and securitizations totaled $7.5 billion resulting in realized gains of $106 million, compared with sales and securitizations of $6.3 billion and a gain of $89 million in the comparative quarter a year ago.

 

                                          The gain on sale of specialty loans was 227 basis points, down from 306 basis points in the second quarter of 2003 and 286 basis points in the year ago quarter.

 

                                          Net interest income from continuing operations totaled $152 million, a decrease of 20% from the $191 million in the third quarter of 2002. The net interest margin was 2.84%, decreasing from 3.85% in the third quarter of 2002. The decline in net interest income and margin reflected the record level of mortgage prepayments incurred during the quarter.

 

                                          Core deposits grew to $7.7 billion, up 26% from $6.1 billion a year ago, as the Company continued to benefit from an effective sales culture, free checking programs, small business banking initiative and the de novo branching program. The Company opened seven new branches in the last four months of 2002 and four additional branches in the first nine months of 2003.

 

                                          Asset quality in the mortgage portfolio remained strong. Net charge-offs of $1.1 million represented 0.05% annualized of average mortgage loans held for investment.

 

                                          GreenPoint continues to maintain a strong capital position with a leverage ratio of 7.18%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 10.96% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 12.47% at September 30, 2003.

 

                                          Net income from the discontinued manufactured housing business was $0.2 million, reflecting a performance consistent with management’s most recent projections.

 

Business Segment Results

 

The Company consists of two primary continuing businesses – a banking business and a mortgage business. The banking business includes the results of the retail banking segment and the balance sheet management segment. The retail banking segment represents the results of the activities of 85 full service banking offices operating in the greater New York area and the balance sheet management segment includes earnings from the held for investment mortgage portfolio and other corporate investment activities. The sub-total defined as the total banking business represents the results of the Company’s traditional banking operations as distinguished from its mortgage banking operations. Following is an analysis of the results of the two primary businesses.

The banking business reported pre-tax income of $89 million for the third quarter of 2003, a decrease of 29% from the $126 million reported for the third quarter a year ago. The results included pre-tax income of $44 million from the retail banking segment, unchanged from a year ago, and $45 million from the balance sheet management segment, a decrease of 45% from a year ago. The decrease from a year ago quarter was primarily the result of higher prepayment activity and lower interest rates, which reduced the net interest income in the balance sheet management segment.

The Company deliberately maintains an asset-sensitive balance sheet (see Market Risk Management, page 36). Since mortgage banking revenues strengthen in periods of low interest rates, and weaken when rates rise, the asset-sensitive position is designed to offset mortgage banking cyclicality over time. The benefits of the counter-cyclical relationship between the mortgage and retail banking businesses were not realized during the third quarter of 2003. Going forward, we expect this balance to reassert itself as balance sheet and retail banking revenues increase in a higher interest rate environment.

The increase in non-interest income reflected higher banking fees associated with the growth in deposit accounts and higher non-interest expense reflected the cost of additional branches associated with the de novo branching program.

The mortgage banking business reported pre-tax income of $120 million, an increase of 31% from the $91 million reported in the third quarter of 2002. Net interest income decreased $3 million, or 5% due to a lower yield earned on the loans held for sale portfolio which was partially offset by a higher average balance. Net gain on sale of mortgage loans increased $24 million or 25% from the year ago period, due to a higher volume of loans sales due to record origination levels in the second quarter of 2003. Service fee income increased $30 million from the prior year quarter as servicing recoveries (both internal and external) of $20 million were recorded in the current quarter, compared with $10 million of impairment reported in the prior year quarter. Non-interest expense increased $21 million to $74 million versus the third quarter a year ago, reflecting the higher level of mortgage originations during the first half of 2003.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, decreased by $39 million and $69 million, or 20% and 12%, to $154 million and $500 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003. Net interest margin declined to 2.84% and 3.19% from 3.85% and 3.98% in the comparable quarter and nine months periods a year ago.

The net interest margin decline resulted from the reduction in asset yields associated with the high level of mortgage prepayments, which led to accelerated premium amortization. The accelerated amortization negatively affected the yield on the held for investment mortgage portfolio and the mortgage-backed securities portfolio. The premium amortization on these two portfolios totaled $32 million in the third quarter of 2003, compared with $20 million in the second quarter of 2003 and $10 million in the prior year third quarter. Year to date premium amortization totaled $68 million, compared with $20 million in the prior year.

Net interest income in the third quarter of 2003 was also affected by the suspension of the quarterly dividend by the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. No income was recognized in the current quarter compared with income of $4 million in the second quarter of 2003 and $2 million in the prior year third quarter.

Average earning assets increased by $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion for the quarter and nine month periods, or 9% and 10% to $21.8 billion and $21.0 billion from $20.1 billion and $19.1 billion in the year ago periods. The increase from the prior year third quarter and nine month periods reflected growth in loans held for sale due to higher origination volume, and higher investment securities. The yield on interest-earning assets and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, in both periods, decreased due to higher premium amortization and declining market interest rates from a year ago.

The growth in average earning assets was funded in part by a substantial growth in core deposits as the average balance increased 27% and 32% over the comparable quarter and nine month periods a year ago. The growth resulted from the continued success of the Company’s sales culture, checking programs, de novo branching program and small business banking initiative.

Average Consolidated Balance Sheet, Interest and Rates

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the continuing operations of the Company’s average statements of financial condition (unaudited) and statements of income (unaudited) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such annualized yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are derived from average daily balances. Average balances and yields include non-accrual loans. The yields and costs include fees that are considered adjustments to yields. Interest and yields are presented on a taxable-equivalent yield basis.

(1)                               Net interest income is calculated on a taxable-equivalent basis.

(2)                               In computing the average balances and average yield on loans, non-accruing loans have been included.

(3)                               The average yield does not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of stockholders’ equity.

(4)                               Includes goodwill, banking premises and equipment, servicing assets, deferred tax assets, accrued interest receivable, and other miscellaneous non-interest earning assets.

(5)                               Includes accrued interest payable, accounts payable and other miscellaneous non-interest bearing obligations of the Company.

(6)                               Net interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

(7)                               Net interest margin represents net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changes in interest rates and changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on the Company’s interest income on a tax equivalent basis and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category on changes (i) attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume), and (iii) the net change. The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to volume and rate.

Non-interest income in the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $141 million and $454 million, up 28% and 38% from the comparable periods a year ago. The increase versus the year ago period was due to a substantial increase in net gain on sale of mortgage loans. The gain on sale of loans is described in further detail in the following paragraphs.

Income from fees and commissions totaled $35 million and $78 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003, versus $19 million and $64 million in the same periods a year ago. Loan servicing fees increased for both the current quarter and nine month periods versus the year ago periods reflecting a recovery of servicing rights impairment of $7 million versus temporary impairments recognized in the prior periods. The $3 million and $8 million increase in banking fees for the quarter and nine months periods, versus a year ago, was due to an increase in the number of checking accounts as a result of de novo branch expansion along with consumer bank marketing initiatives that increased core deposit accounts.

Gain on sale of mortgage loans increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003, versus the comparable periods a year ago, principally due to a higher volume of loans sold along with slightly higher margins earned on the sales. The average sale margin was 142 basis points compared to 140 basis points for the third quarter of 2002.

The margin earned on specialty products declined to 2.27% in the third quarter of 2003 from 2.86% reported in the prior year third quarter. Year to date, the gain on sale margin for specialty products was 2.75% in 2003 compared with 2.93% in 2002. The narrower sales margins reflect, in part, an increase in competition as more mortgage originators compete in the specialty product market.

The decline during the third quarter also resulted from the projected drop in refinance activity given the rise in interest rates during the period. While investors pay a premium for the slower expected prepayments associated with the Alt A and No Doc products, prepayment expectations lowered across all mortgage products, reducing the incremental value investors placed on the prepay benefit of specialty products relative to conforming products. The Company will take account of the new relationship between specialty loans and conforming products, as well as competitive market conditions, in pricing its loans to achieve a desirable combination of sales margins and volumes.

In the third quarter of 2003, the Company recognized a gain of $1 million related to prior securitizations of home equity lines of credit. The year ago period gain represented gains on previously securitized home equity lines.

Total general and administrative expense increased $29 million to $130 million from $102 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 and increased $72 million to $377 million from $305 million for the nine month periods. The non-interest expense increase versus a year ago reflected the increased mortgage origination volume and higher costs associated with the de novo branching program. The salaries and benefits expense increase of $18 million and $49 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003 versus a year ago related to the significant increase in mortgage production.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased $11 million, or 16%, to $61 million for the third quarter of 2003 and decreased $1 million to $213 million for the first nine months of 2003, versus the comparable periods a year ago. The decrease for the third quarter is due to lower pre-tax income offset by a rise in the effective tax rate from 36.4% to 37.6%. The rise for the nine months, compared to 2002, is due to higher pre-tax income and an increase in the effective tax rate from 36.9% to 37.4%.

(3)                               Represents commitments on which the Company is committed to lend at an agreed upon interest rate.

 

Total loan originations during the quarter and nine month periods for the mortgage business were $9.4 billion and $30.1 billion, down from $9.7 billion in the third quarter a year ago and up from $23.2 billion during the first nine months of 2002. Specialty product originations were $3.1 billion and $8.8 billion for the quarter and nine month periods, up from $2.7 billion and $7.3 billion in the comparable periods a year ago. Agency / Jumbo originations decreased from $6.4 billion to $5.7 billion in the third quarter versus a year ago and increased from $13.9 billion to $19.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 versus the same period a year ago. The change in loan origination product mix for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 versus a year ago, reflects the declining interest rate environment and the strong demand for mortgage refinancing during the first half of 2003.

 

Non-Performing Assets:

Non-performing assets consist of non-accruing loans and other real estate owned. GreenPoint reports non-accruing loans separately for the held for investment and held for sale portfolios. The ratio of non-accruing loans held for investment to mortgage loans held for investment increased to 1.72% at September 30, 2003 from 1.61% at December 31, 2002 and the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets increased to 1.22% at September 30, 2003 from 1.12% at December 31, 2002. GreenPoint attempts to convert these assets to interest-earning assets as quickly as possible, while minimizing potential losses on conversion.

Non-performing loans held for sale represent delinquent loans in the mortgage warehouse that mostly have been acquired as repurchases against representations and warranties. These loans increased to $96 million at the end of the third quarter from $66 million at December 31, 2002. This increase has resulted from the substantial growth in loans sold over the past two years. GreenPoint maintains a valuation reserve through which the value of these loans is adjusted to the estimated fair value.

Capital Ratios

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System establishes minimum capital requirements for the consolidated bank holding company, as well as for the Bank.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. These guidelines require minimum ratios of risk-based capital to risk adjusted assets of 4% for Tier 1 capital and 8% for total capital. The Federal Reserve Board also has guidelines for a leverage ratio that is designed to complement the risk-based capital ratios in determining the overall capital adequacy of banks and bank holding companies. A minimum leverage ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets of 3% is required for banks and bank holding companies, with an additional 100 to 200 basis points required for all but the highest rated institutions. Management believes, as of September 30, 2003, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

FDICIA, among other things, identifies five capital categories for insured depository institutions (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized) and requires federal banking regulatory agencies to implement systems for “prompt corrective action” for insured depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements based on these categories. As of September 30, 2003, the Bank was well capitalized based on the prompt corrective action guidelines.

The most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum Tier 1 capital, total capital and leverage ratios of 6%, 10% and 5%, respectively. There have been no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company’s or Bank’s category.

The Company’s Total Capital and Tier 1 Capital (to risk weighted assets) declined from 12.96% and 11.43%, respectively, at December 31, 2002 to 12.47% and 10.96%, respectively at September 30, 2003. The Company’s ratio of period-end stockholders’ equity to ending total assets at September 30, 2003 was 8.06% compared to 8.82% at December 31, 2002.

Stock Repurchase Program

In September 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to 5%, or approximately 6.8 million, of its outstanding shares. The repurchase will be at the Company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business and the market valuation of its stock.

The Company’s previous share repurchase program was completed during the third quarter. Under this program, the Company repurchased 7.2 million shares, at a cost of approximately $238 million. The repurchased shares are being held in treasury.

Shares repurchased and cost for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 are summarized as follows:

Supplemental Performance Measurements – Cash Earnings

Cash earnings is a non-GAAP measurement that GreenPoint defines as net income from continuing operations less a non-cash charge related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). This non-cash expense, unlike other expenses incurred by the Company, does not reduce GreenPoint’s tangible capital thereby enabling the Company to increase shareholder value through the growth of earning assets, increases in cash dividends and additional repurchases of the Company’s stock.

Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition

Total assets of $22.9 billion at September 30, 2003 increased from $21.8 billion at December 31, 2002. The balance sheet reflects growth in the securities portfolio of $1.2 billion and growth in the balance of loans held for sale of $415 million. This was partially offset by a decrease in loans receivable held for investment of $470 million.

Core deposits increased $1.2 billion since year-end 2002, reflecting the continued success of a variety of initiatives to attract checking accounts. This growth was offset in part by a decline of $819 million in higher-cost term certificates of deposit. Market borrowings increased $434 million since year-end 2002, reflecting the net additional funding needed.

Risk Management

 

The Company has a Corporate Risk Oversight Committee which monitors and supervises the wide variety of risks encountered in the course of business. The Committee is chaired by the President and Chief Operating Officer and includes the heads of its two businesses, the Chief Financial Officer, the Head of Risk Management and the General Counsel. The Committee meets periodically to review credit risk, including both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposure, market risk and operating and business risks which include, but are not limited to, legal and systems risks. These individual types of risks are also analyzed and monitored by separate committees comprised of experts within the business units and on the corporate staff. Liquidity and Credit Risk Management are described fully below. The Market Risk analysis is included in Part I – Item 3 (page 36).

 

Liquidity Risk Management

The Bank’s primary sources of funding from financing activities include deposit gathering, advances from the FHLB, short and long-term borrowings under repurchase agreements and overnight and term Federal Funds purchases. Cash flows related to operating activities primarily consist of cash disbursed to fund loan originations and cash received from loan sales and securitizations. Cash flows related to investing activities include purchases of securities and loans receivable held for investment, funds received from loan and securities principal repayments, and sales and maturities of mortgage-backed and other investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are a predictable source of funds, the amount of prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities can only be estimated, as they tend to fluctuate with various exogenous factors including the general level, and direction, of interest rates.

Funds provided from financing activities totaled $724 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2003 total borrowings were $7.7 billion, up $434 million from $7.2 billion at December 31, 2002. Membership in the FHLB allows the Bank to secure advances in proportion to its investment in FHLB stock. At September 30, 2003 the Bank had $3.3 billion in outstanding FHLB term advances. The Bank’s ability to secure further advances from the FHLB is based on the market value of the pledged loan portfolio. At September 30, 2003, based on the then current market value of the pledged portfolio, the Bank had additional FHLB borrowing capacity of $1.2 billion. The Bank also uses its mortgage-backed and other investment securities as collateral under short and long-term repurchase agreements. As of September 30, 2003 the Bank had $2.8 billion in outstanding repurchase agreements, which was an increase of $799 million from December 31, 2002. At September 30, 2003 the company had un-pledged securities eligible as collateral for repurchase agreements of $1.8 billion. The Bank also secures overnight and term funding in the Federal Funds market. At September 30, 2003 the Bank had $870 million of overnight purchased Federal Funds.

Deposits continue to be the primary funding source for the Company. Deposit balances experienced a net $715 million increase in the first nine months of 2003. Lower-cost core deposits increased by $1.2 billion offset by a decrease in higher cost term certificates of deposit of $819 million. The decline in certificate of deposit balances resulted from management’s decision to utilize lower cost alternative funding sources rather than pay higher priced retail rates. Time deposits maturing within one year totaled $3.1 billion at September 30, 2003. Consistent with historical trends, a substantial portion of these deposits are expected to be renewed. To the extent these deposits are not renewed, funding is expected to be provided through continued growth in core deposits (checking, savings and money market deposits) and through alternative financing sources.

 

Credit Risk Management

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company originated mortgage loans for its own portfolio and for disposition in the secondary markets in the form of whole loan sales and securitizations. In general, whole loan sales transfer the credit risk to the purchasers. In contrast, for loans placed in the portfolio, or for loans securitized, the Company retains all or much of the credit risk. As of December 31, 2001, the Company discontinued the origination of manufactured housing loans. However, it continues to service its manufactured housing loan portfolio, including its securitized loan pools. During the fourth quarter of 2002, GreenPoint Bank began to originate small business loans through its branch system to its business banking customers for the Bank’s portfolio.

 

34



 

GreenPoint Bank and GreenPoint Mortgage maintain underwriting policies, procedures and approval authorities appropriate to their businesses. The chief credit executive in GreenPoint Mortgage reports directly to the Executive Vice President of Credit Operations and Technology, outside of the production organization. The chief credit executive in the small business banking group within GreenPoint Bank reports directly to the head of the small business banking group. With respect to mortgage loans originated for whole loan sale to the secondary markets, where credit risk is transferred, underwriting criteria are established to meet the investor requirements. An executive-level Risk Management Division determines the criteria required for loans which will be transferred to GreenPoint’s portfolio or sold through securitizations. With respect to business loans at GreenPoint Bank, a sophisticated scoring system is one of the tools being utilized in the underwriting process.

Oversight of the appraiser approval and appraisal review process is conducted independent of the production organization. Appraisers are required to meet strict standards for approval by GreenPoint, and their performance is monitored on a regular basis. With oversight by Risk Management, a comprehensive quality control process is in place to ensure that mortgage loans being originated meet the Company’s underwriting standards, and that required operating procedures are followed. Loans are selected monthly on a pre and post funding basis for review by quality control analysts and staff appraisers. A quality control process has also been established for the small business loans being originated by GreenPoint with monthly reviews on a post-funding basis.

Risk Management personnel monitor closely the performance of all loans on which the Company retains credit risk. On securitization or sale, expectations are set on the default, recovery and voluntary prepayment rates. Each pool of loans is reviewed monthly to ensure that performance is meeting those expectations. In the event performance does not meet expectations, the assumptions are revised. Final responsibility for these judgments resides with executive management, independent of the business unit.

Risk Management reviews monthly the delinquency and loss trends for all of the mortgage, manufactured housing, and small business loans serviced by the Company, whether or not it retains credit exposure. These reviews are intended to identify significant changes in credit quality which may indicate changes to the Company’s exposures or to the efficacy of its underwriting of loans sold to other investors. Such changes could prompt adjustments to the Company’s underwriting criteria or servicing procedures.

GreenPoint’s mortgage loan origination activity is geographically diversified throughout the United States. The Company tracks economic and housing market trends to identify areas for expansion and as an early warning mechanism. The Company also closely monitors trends in delinquent and non-performing loans through cycles in the economy and in the real estate market. These economic and performance trends are analyzed in the ongoing fine-tuning of lending practices.

The Company uses various collection strategies to maintain contact with the borrowers in order to obtain repayment. Collection activities for GreenPoint Mortgage are centralized in a servicing unit in Columbus, Georgia. GreenPoint Credit’s collection activities were centralized during 2002 in a servicing center in Atlanta, Georgia in order to target delinquent accounts more effectively utilizing more advanced technology. Remarketing activities for GreenPoint Credit remain decentralized among several regional offices in order to repossess and liquidate collateral more effectively, thereby minimizing the loss severity. Collection efforts for GreenPoint Bank’s business banking loans are handled in a collaborative manner by the credit analysts in New York and the servicing center in Columbus, Georgia.

The Company has set forth a policy for establishment and review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses in order to provide for estimated costs related to the problem loans. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. However, such determination is susceptible to the effect of future unanticipated changes in general economic and market conditions that may affect the financial circumstances of borrowers and/or residential real estate values within the Company’s lending areas. The Company has also established a reserve to cover losses associated with repurchases of sold loans due to representation and warranty violations. This reserve was sized using historical loss data associated with loan sales and additional reserves are set aside as the volume of sold loans increases.

GreenPoint Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries

Part I – Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market Risk Management

 

Overview

The Company’s market risk exposure is limited solely to interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is defined as the sensitivity of the Company’s current and future earnings to changes in the level of market interest rates. Part of the Company’s interest rate risk resides on the balance sheet, as the maturity and repricing characteristics of its assets do not match those of its liabilities. Additionally, a significant source of the Company’s revenue, the proceeds from the sale of mortgage loans, depends on the volume of loan originations, which is sensitive to the level and direction of market interest rates.

 

Market Risk Management Process

Management of interest rate risk is conducted within policies and limits approved by the Board of Directors. These policies and limits set forth the maximum risks to earnings and market value that the Board of Directors deems prudent. In addition, they govern permissible investments and off-balance sheet transactions, and maximum counterpart exposure limits. The formulation and implementation of any Risk Management strategy involves numerous day-to-day decisions involving the acquisition or divestiture of loans and investment securities, reinvestment of cash flows, the selection of funding instruments and maturities and the use of off-balance sheet instruments. Together, these incremental decisions result in a strategy that is represented by the interest rate risk position. The performance of the positions and strategies are formally reviewed by the Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) in the context of the outlook for interest rates and general business conditions, as well as for compliance with established risk tolerances and policies. The committee is chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and includes the Treasurer, the Head of Risk Management and the Company’s Senior Business Unit and Financial Executives.

 

Interest Rate Risk Management Strategies

Interest rate risk inherent on the balance sheet is managed taking into account the risks to earnings in the Company’s main businesses. Most importantly, the Company’s mortgage origination business is sensitive to the level of interest rates. In a low or declining interest rate environment mortgage volumes tend to increase as demand for home purchases and mortgage refinancing increase, leading to growth in mortgage banking revenues. Conversely, high or rising rates subdue mortgage demand, leading to less revenue.

These dynamics tend to be partly offset by the sensitivity of retail banking revenues to changes in the level of interest rates. Typically in a high rate environment, spreads earned on retail deposits increase, as rates paid on those deposits increase more slowly than market rates in general. Additionally, the balance sheet is normally positioned to allow for higher net interest income and wider net interest margins as rates rise. This is known as an asset sensitive balance sheet position, and provides a further offset to the interest rate cyclically of mortgage banking revenue.

The interest rate sensitivity of the Company’s balance sheet originates with the cash flow characteristics of its loan portfolios and deposit products. Management alters the overall balance sheet sensitivity through adjustments to the securities investment portfolio and the maturities of market borrowings, as well as various deposit pricing and derivatives strategies.

 

Interest Rate Risk Measurement

The principal tool used to measure balance sheet sensitivity at any point in time, and to assess the impact of potential business and rate risk management strategies, is a simulation of net interest income. The simulation gives effect to management assumptions concerning the repricing of assets and liabilities, as well as business volumes under a variety of hypothetical interest rate scenarios. These hypothetical scenarios incorporate parallel yield curve shifts in interest rates of plus or minus 100, 200 and 300 basis points. In addition, non-parallel yield curve flattening and steepening scenarios are modeled.

The most crucial management assumptions concern prepayments on the Company’s mortgage loan and securities portfolios and the pricing of retail deposits in various interest rate environments. As interest rates decline, mortgage prepayments tend to increase, reducing loan portfolio growth and lowering the portfolio’s average yield. Management’s assumptions are guided by analyzing the prepayment performance of the Company’s portfolio in past rate cycles as well as publicly available research on the prepayment behavior of similar mortgage assets.

 

36



 

Rates on non-maturity deposits rise and fall with market rates, but tend to move less than proportionately. Rates offered on retail certificates of deposit tend to move in close concert with market rates, though history suggests they increase less rapidly as market rates rise. Extensive historical analysis shows that the Company’s deposit volumes are relatively insensitive to interest rate movements within the range encompassed by the scenarios.

The following table presents the results of the simulations under a variety of hypothetical interest rate scenarios, based on the Company’s balance sheet position at September 30, 2003. The results are expressed as the percentage change in pretax net interest income from the base scenario in which interest rates are unchanged. The change in income is measured over a period of twelve months.

The columns represent 200 basis point changes—down and up—in the level of short-term interest rates over a twelve-month time span. The rows indicate changes in the shape of the yield curve over the same time period. The parallel row corresponds to changes in rate levels in which the yield curve retains its shape. In the -150 basis point scenarios, the yield curve flattens, and in the +150 basis point simulations the curve steepens. (As of September 30, 2003 not all rates could fall 200 basis points without reaching zero. In these scenarios rates are reduced until they reach zero. These scenarios are retained to allow for historical comparisons.) For example, a parallel upward shift of 200 basis points would increase net interest income by 4.0% from what would be earned if rates remained constant. An increase of 200 basis points at the short end of the yield curve, accompanied by a 150 basis point flatter curve, would increase net interest income by 1.4% compared with the unchanged scenario.

At September 30, 2002 a parallel 200 basis point downward movement in interest rates was estimated to reduce net interest income by 8.8% from the base case. A parallel 200 basis point rise in rates was estimated to benefit net interest income by 5.5%. Using this parallel case for comparative purposes, the degree of asset sensitivity in the third quarter of 2003 is similar to that reported in the third quarter of 2002. However, asset sensitivity is lower than reported at June 30, 2003, reflecting the increase in interest rates during the third quarter. Some of the benefits from rising rates in the June 30 simulation are embodied in the base case scenario as of September 30. The asset sensitivity at September 30 is the remaining impact from further rate increases.

The simulations measure the exposure of net interest income to changes in interest rates at a particular point of time. The risk position is always changing. Management continuously monitors the Company’s risk profile as it changes, and alters the rate sensitivity to ensure limits are adhered to, and that the resulting risk profile is appropriate to its views on the likely course of interest rates and developments in its core businesses.

In addition, the fair value of the mortgage company’s servicing assets and retained interests from securitizations are directly affected by the level of prepayments associated with the underlying loans. As interest rates decline the value of these assets will decline. Conversely as interest rates rise, the value of these assets will increase.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest rate derivatives, such as interest rate swaps and Eurodollar futures, are periodically integrated into the Company’s interest rate positions and, therefore, its simulations. The notional amount of these instruments are not included in the company’s balance sheet. There were no outstanding derivative financial instruments hedging the Company’s interest rate position at September 30, 2003.

The Company currently utilizes derivative instruments to manage the exposure to interest rate risk associated with mortgage loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale.

Prior to the closing of the loan, the Company generally extends an interest rate lock commitment to the borrower. The Company is exposed to subsequent changes in the level of market interest rates, and the spread over Treasuries required by investors. An increase in market interest rates or a widening of spreads will reduce the prices paid by investors and the resultant gain on sale. To mitigate this risk, at the time the Company extends the interest rate lock commitment to the borrower, the Company will enter into mandatory commitments to deliver mortgage whole loans to various investors, or to issue private securities and/or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities (forward delivery commitments.) These commitments effectively establish the price the Company will receive for the related mortgage loan thereby minimizing the risk of subsequent changes in interest rates. At September 30, 2003, the Company had mandatory forward delivery commitments outstanding amounting to $3.3 billion.

GreenPoint Financial Corp. and Subsidiaries

Part II – Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are defendants in or parties to a number of pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, and are also involved from time to time in investigations and administrative proceedings by governmental agencies. Certain of such actions and proceedings involve alleged violations of consumer protection laws, including claims relating to the Corporation’s loan origination and collection efforts, and other federal and state banking laws. Certain of such actions and proceedings include claims for breach of contract, restitution, compensatory damages, punitive damages and other forms of relief. Due to the difficulty of predicting the outcome of such matters, the Corporation can give no assurance that it will prevail on all claims made against it; however, management believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that these legal matters and administrative proceedings and the losses, if any, resulting from the final outcome thereof, will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation and its subsidiaries’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity, but can give no assurance that they will not have such an effect.
