GREENPOINT FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 statement 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 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, 2000.

Accounting for Loan Sales
The Company sells loans both in the whole loan market as well as through various securitization vehicles.

When the Company sells mortgages or manufactured housing loans on a whole loan basis, in some cases it retains the servicing rights related to the loans. In instances where the Company 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 the Company does retain the servicing rights, the gain or loss also depends in part on the fair value attributed to the servicing rights.

When the Company securitizes manufactured housing loans and mortgages it may retain servicing rights and one or more retained interests. In addition, the Company may sell loans under recourse arrangements, which may be in the form of a corporate guarantee issued by GreenPoint Bank (the “Bank”) and backed by a letter of credit or a credit default swap. In calculating the gain or loss on the sale, the Company 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. The liabilities associated with these guarantees are reported separately as liability under recourse exposure. 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, less the estimated fair value of the corporate guarantee.

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

During the fourth quarter of 2000, the Company adopted the Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20 “Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets” under which interest income and expense on retained interests are recognized using the effective yield method. The Company classifies its retained interests in securitizations as available for sale and carries these securities at fair value. Generally, if the fair value of retained interests declines below its carrying amount (excluding unrealized gains), 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.

On a quarterly basis, GreenPoint reviews the adequacy of the liability under recourse exposure based on management’s best estimate of future cash flows associated with the recourse arrangements. The change in valuation is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as a change in valuation of retained interests.

 

To obtain fair values, quoted market prices are used if available. Because market quotes are generally not available for retained interests, the Company 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 the Company 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.

The Company 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 the Company believes market participants would use for similar assets.

2.          Stock Incentive Plan

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company granted options to purchase 1,632,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain officers and directors, at an average exercise price of $36.15. These awards vest over one to three years on the anniversary dates of the awards.

3.          Loans Receivable Held for Sale

  Loans receivable held for sale $ 4,036   $ 1,981  

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

GreenPoint securitizes manufactured housing loans and mortgages and may enter into recourse arrangements in the form of the retention of subordinated interests or the issuance of a corporate guarantee. In addition, when GreenPoint securitizes and sells manufactured housing loans and mortgages, it may retain 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 liability under the corporate guarantee related to the manufactured housing securitizations.

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

  June 30, 2001  

      Maximum      
  Principal   Recourse   Recorded  
(In millions) Balance   Exposure (1)   Liability  

  Manufactured housing securitizations $ 4,918   $ 850   $ 80  
  Manufactured housing sales 321   321   7  
  Mortgage securitizations (2) 1,566   152   ---  
  Mortgage sales (3) 897   879   1  

             
      December 31, 2000      

      Maximum      
  Principal   Recourse   Recorded  
(In millions) Balance   Exposure (1 ) Liability  

  Manufactured housing securitizations $ 5,057   $ 899   $ 121  
  Manufactured housing sales 334   334   10  
  Mortgage securitizations (2) 1,744   125   ---  
  Mortgage sales (3) 1,175   1,152   1  

 

(1) Represents the maximum recourse exposure relating to recourse arrangements in the form of the retention of subordinated interests or the issuance of a corporate guarantee.
(2) The net present value of expected cash outflows on the mortgage securitization recourse arrangements is reflected in the valuation of the mortgage retained interests.
(3) The recourse arrangements under the mortgage sale transactions represent a risk sharing arrangement in which GreenPoint has transferred the first 2% of losses to the purchaser.

In addition to the recourse arrangements described in the table above, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, GreenPoint has provided representations and warranties on mortgage loans with remaining principal balances of $8.4 billion and $6.7 billion, respectively. GreenPoint has established liabilities related to representations and warranties for mortgage loans of $9 million and $7 million, which is included in other liabilities, at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

The following presents quantitative information about delinquencies on loans sold with recourse:

  June 30,   Dec. 31,   June 30,   Dec. 31,  
  2001   2000   2001   2000  

(In millions) Manufactured Housing   Mortgage  

Principal balance of loans $ 5,239   $ 5,391   $ 2,463   $ 2,919  
Principal balance of loans 90 days or more past due (1) 189   182   53   29  

(1)        Manufactured housing past due loans include repossessed inventory.

  Balance at end of period $ 55   $ 13   $ 135   $ 100   $ 55   $ 13   $ 135   $ 100  

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.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2001, GreenPoint recorded a $32 million charge to adjust its manufactured housing retained interests to fair value. The charge consisted of $30 million to adjust its manufactured housing corporate guarantee liability and $2 million to adjust its manufactured housing interest-only strip to fair value. The charge was primarily related to higher than anticipated default and loss severity rates, in approximately equal measure, and consisted of actual losses for the current quarter and a provision for higher losses in future periods.

The key economic assumptions used in estimating the fair value of retained interests capitalized during the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the entire portfolio of retained interests at June 30, 2001 were as follows:

    Capitalized During          
    the Quarter Ended   Estimate of Fair Value at  

    June 30, 2001   June 30, 2001  

            Manufactured

  Weighted average loss rate     0.7 % 2.7 % 0.8 %
  Asset cash flows discounted at     13.1 % 14.0 % 12.8 %
  Liability cash flows discounted at     ---   6.5 % ---  

 

(1) Excludes weighted average default rate.

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.

GreenPoint receives annual servicing fees approximating 1.0% and 0.5% of the principal balances for manufacturing housing loans and mortgage loans, respectively.

The activity in servicing assets is summarized as follows:

  At and for the Quarter Ended   At and for the Six Months Ended  
      June 30,           June 30,      

  2001   2000   2001   2000   2001   2000   2001   2000

  Servicing assets, net $ 134   $ 134   $ 69   $ 67   $ 134   $ 134   $ 69   $ 67  

At June 30, 2001, the estimated fair values of manufactured housing and mortgage servicing assets were $166 million and $76 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2000, the estimated fair values of manufactured housing and mortgage servicing assets were $169 million and $64 million, respectively.

The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the servicing assets were as follows:

      June 30, 2001  

      Manufactured      
      Housing   Mortgage  

  Weighted average prepayment rate (1)   13.3 % 26.9 %
  Weighted average life (in years)   4.1   3.7  
  Weighted average default rate   3.7 % N/A  
  Cash flows discounted at   14.0 % 10.1 %

 

(1) Excludes weighted average default rate.

5.          Business Segments

The Company consists of three domestic business segments offering unique products and services. The Mortgage Banking segment is in the business of originating, selling, securitizing, servicing and investing in residential mortgage loans. The Company has historically funded its mortgage portfolio with consumer deposits raised through its Consumer Banking operations. The Consumer Banking segment consists of 74 full service banking offices offering a variety of financial services to the Greater New York City area. The Manufactured Housing segment primarily originates, securitizes and services manufactured housing loans. Included in the other category are revenues and expenses from the Company’s treasury operations, unallocated executive and corporate administration expenses and GAAP elimination entries recorded in the consolidation process.

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. The expenses relating to the executive, strategic planning, information systems personnel, finance, audit and human resources functions of the Company are not allocated to individual operating segments.

Net interest income corresponding to the assumed funds transfers is allocated accordingly.

 

6.          Hedging Activities

On January 1, 2001, GreenPoint adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Activities (“SFAS 133”), as subsequently amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities (an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133), in accounting for its derivative financial instruments. A transition adjustment was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the consolidated statement of income at January 1, 2001. The transition adjustment did not have a material impact on the consolidated statement of income.

The Bank uses interest rate swaps and futures contracts to manage the interest rate risk associated with its fixed rate manufactured housing loans and interest rate lock commitments prior to securitization. The notional amounts of these contracts were $246 million and $175 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedging instruments to manage the interest rate risk associated with fixed rate manufactured housing loans had a notional value of $95 million at January 1, 2001. The net gain representing the amount of hedge ineffectiveness during the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $0.3 million and is included in other non-interest income. The interest rate swaps did not meet all of the criteria required by SFAS 133 to allow fair value hedge accounting during the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

GreenPoint enters into mandatory commitments to deliver mortgage whole loans to various investors and to issue private securities and Fannie and Freddie Mac securities (“forward delivery commitments”). The forward delivery commitments are used to manage the interest rate risk associated with mortgage loans and interest rate lock commitments made by GreenPoint to mortgage borrowers. The notional amounts of these contracts were $878 million and $941 million at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively. The forward delivery commitments designated as fair value hedging instruments to manage the interest rate risk associated with mortgage loans had a notional value of $752 million at January 1, 2001. GreenPoint did not have a material gain or loss representing the amount of hedge ineffectiveness during the six months ended June 30, 2001. The forward delivery commitments did not meet all of the criteria required by SFAS 133 to allow fair value hedge accounting during the quarter ended June 30, 2001.

7.          Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On July 20, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for business combinations and supersedes APB Opinion No. 16, “Business Combinations” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 38, “Accounting for Preacquisition Contingencies of Purchased Enterprises”. All business combinations in the scope of SFAS 141 are to be accounted for using one method, the purchase method. The provisions of SFAS 141 apply to all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 also applies to all business combinations accounted for using the purchase method for which the date of acquisition is July 1, 2001, or later. Management of the Company anticipates that the adoption of SFAS 141 will not have a significant effect on the Company’s earnings or financial position.

On July 20, 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). This statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes APB Opinion No. 17, “Intangible Assets”. SFAS 142 addresses how intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial statements upon their acquisition. SFAS 142 also addresses how goodwill and other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially recognized in the financial statements. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized, but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives, but without the constraint of an arbitrary ceiling. The provisions of SFAS 142 are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. SFAS 142 is required to be applied at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year and to be applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in its financial statements at that date. Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets that arise due to the initial application of SFAS 142 (resulting from a transitional impairment test) are to be reported as a change in accounting principle. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001,will be subject immediately to the nonamortization and amortization provisions of SFAS 142.

Management is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of the SFAS 142 transitional impairment test on the Company’s earnings and financial position. Management estimates the adoption of the nonamortization provision of SFAS 142 would increase the Company’s annual earnings by approximately $48 million.

8.          Stock Repurchase Program

In February 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to 5%, or approximately five 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.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company has not repurchased any shares under this program.

2.          OPERATING RESULTS

Overview of consolidated results:

Net income for the second quarter of 2001 was $86 million, an increase of 32% over the second quarter of 2000. Net income per diluted share was $0.95 for the quarter, an increase of 34% over the second quarter of 2000.
   
Total loan originations for the second quarter of 2001 were $7.1 billion, an increase of 116% from the second quarter of 2000, and an increase of 61% compared to the prior quarter. Mortgage originations for the same period were $6.8 billion, an increase of 164% from the second quarter of 2000, and an increase of 62% from the first quarter of 2001. Manufactured housing loan originations were $228 million, an increase of 22% from the first quarter of 2001 and a decrease of 66% from a year ago.
   
GPM sold certain whole loan mortgages of $4.0 billion, recording a gain of $97 million. GPM also securitized $303 million of home equity lines of credit for a gain of $8 million. Draws on previously securitized home equity lines of credit totaling $93 million resulted in a gain of $3 million.
   
GPC did not securitize or sell manufactured housing assets during the second quarter of 2001, due to the lower volume of originations. The securitization sale gain for the second quarter of 2000 was $18 million.
   
A $32 million charge was recorded in connection with the valuation of manufactured housing retained interests.
   
Asset quality in the mortgage loan portfolio improved further over 2000. Non-performing loans decreased 3% to $191 million, and total non-performing assets decreased 5% to $200 million at June 30, 2001.
   
GreenPoint continues to maintain a strong capital position with a leverage ratio of 9.20%, a Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 9.43% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 11.02% at June 30, 2001.

Business Segment Results:

Pre-tax income for the Mortgage Banking segment was $159 million and $252 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 109% and 83% over the respective periods a year ago. The increase is primarily the result of increased gain on sale of mortgage loans due to higher origination volumes along with better market pricing.
   
The Consumer Banking segment reported pre-tax income of $26 million and $55 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, a decline of 26% and 20%, respectively, over the same periods a year ago. The decrease was due to lower net interest income as narrower margins were earned on consumer deposits in the declining interest rate environment.
   
Loss before income taxes for the Manufactured Housing segment was $35 million and $27 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, compared with a $9 million loss in the quarter and a $4 million profit in the six month period a year ago. The increased loss is primarily attributable to the increase in the change in valuation of retained interests for the respective quarter and six month periods along with lower gain on sale of loans due to lower origination volumes.

 

Supplemental Performance Measurements - Core Cash Earnings

Core cash earnings is a non-GAAP measurement that is defined as net income excluding non-recurring items and certain non-cash charges related to goodwill and the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The non-cash expenses, unlike other expenses incurred by the Company, do 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.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis increased by $9 million for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 versus the comparable periods in 2000. Net interest income in both periods benefited from an increase in average earning assets, which included an increase in loans held for sale and securities investments. The net interest margin was 3.87% and 3.91% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, down from 4.19% and 4.20%, respectively, for the comparable 2000 periods. The narrower margin resulted from a change in the mix of interest-earning assets and a rise in CD costs reflecting a rise in interest rate levels during 2000, and an increasingly competitive market for these deposits in the New York area.

Average earning assets increased by $2.17 billion in the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase reflected growth in loans held for sale, due to higher origination volume, higher investment securities, and higher mortgage loans held for investment. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the second quarter declined by 8 basis points, due to a decline in short-term market interest rates. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the six months rose by 12 basis points, reflecting the rise in interest rates during the year 2000 paid on certificates of deposit.

Average Balance Sheets and Interest Yield/Cost

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average statements of financial condition (unaudited) and statements of income (unaudited) for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, 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.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses was $5 million for the second quarter of 2001 and $10 million for the first six months of 2001, down from $7 million and $15 million, respectively for the comparable 2000 periods. The decrease is primarily attributable to a change in the timing of charge-offs on the manufactured housing loan portfolio to conform to recent changes in regulatory standards. Had this policy change not occurred, net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2001 would have been approximately $4 million higher. For the quarter ended June 30 2001, charge-offs under both the old and new policies were the same. Charge-offs for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 on the residential mortgage portfolio were essentially unchanged versus a year ago. The provision equaled net charge-offs for all periods.

Non-Interest Income

The following table summarizes the components of non-interest income:

  Quarter Ended   Six Months Ended
  June 30,   June 30,

(In millions) 2001   2000   2001   2000

Income from fees and commissions:                      
  Loan servicing fees $ 32   $ 36   $ 63   $ 68
  Banking services fees and commissions   11     10     22     19
  Other   6     3     10     5

  Total income from fees and commissions   49     49     95     92
Net gain on sales of mortgage loans   108     44     173     67
Net gain on sales of manufactured housing assets   ---     18     11     41
Change in valuation of retained interests – Manufactured Housing   (32)     (16)     (32)     (19)
Net gain on securities   6     1     12     2

  Total non-interest income $ 131   $ 96   $ 259   $ 183

Non-interest income was $131 million and $259 million in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, up from $96 million and $183 million in the comparable periods a year ago. The results for the quarter and six months reflect a higher gain on sale of mortgage loans partly offset by a lower gain on sale of manufactured housing assets and an increase in the change in valuation of retained interests in manufactured housing loan securitizations.

Income from fees and commissions was $49 million and $95 million in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, unchanged from the comparable quarter and up for the six month period a year ago, principally due to higher banking services fees and commissions. Loan servicing fees fell by $4 million and $5 million due to a $1 million and $4 million write-down in the value of mortgage servicing rights for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on sale of loans:

The following table is a summary of loans sold and average margins for the reported periods:

  Quarter Ended   Six Months Ended
  June 30,   June 30,

(In millions) 2001   2000   2001   2000

Whole loan – Mortgage:                              
Sales $ 4,003     $ 1,721     $ 6,839     $ 2,926  
Gain on sale $ 97     $ 32     $ 159     $ 53  
Average margin   2.41 %     1.83 %     2.31 %     1.83 %

Securitizations – Mortgage:                              
Sales $ 396     $ 395     $ 475     $ 448  
Gain on sale $ 11     $ 12     $ 14     $ 14  
Average margin   2.90 %     3.02 %     2.98 %     3.07 %

Securitizations – Manufactured Housing:                              
Sales $ ---     $ 719     $ 272     $ 1,309  
Gain on sale $ ---     $ 18     $ 11     $ 41  
Average margin   --- %     2.53 %     4.08 %     3.08 %

Gain on sale of mortgage loans increased for the quarter, principally due to a higher volume of loans sold along with better market pricing. The Company did not securitize and sell manufactured housing assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as a result of the deliberate reduction in manufactured housing loan originations.

Non-Interest Expense

The following is a summary of the components of non-interest expense:

  Quarter Ended   Six Months Ended
  June 30,   June 30,

(In millions) 2001   2000   2001   2000

Salaries and benefits $ 59   $ 53   $ 116   $ 104
Employee Stock Ownership and stock plans expense   6     4     12     7
Net expense of premises and equipment   22     19     43     39
Advertising   2     2     4     3
Federal deposit insurance premiums   ---     ---     1     1
Other administrative expenses   33     29     62     57

Total general and administrative expenses   122     107     238     211
Other real estate owned operating income, net   (1)     (1)     (1)     (1)
Goodwill amortization   20     20     40     40

Total non-interest expense $ 141   $ 126   $ 277   $ 250

Total non-interest expense was $141 million and $277 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 12% and 11%, respectively, over the same periods a year ago. Salaries and benefits increased $6 million and $12 million, respectively, principally due to additional staff and incentive commissions related to the higher mortgage volume. Employee stock ownership and stock plans expense increased $2 million and $5 million, respectively, due to a higher average stock price versus the same period a year ago.

Income Tax Expense

Total income tax expense increased $10 million, or 23%, to $54 million for the second quarter of 2001 and $22 million, or 26% to $106 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 versus the comparable periods a year ago. The effective tax rate declined from 40% in the second quarter of 2000 and 40.5% for the first six months of 2000 to 38.48% and 39.09%, respectively in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001.

Loan Originations

The following table summarizes loan origination activity for each of the reported periods:

  Quarter Ended   Six Months Ended
  June 30,   June 30,

(In millions) 2001   2000   2001   2000

Mortgage:                      
Total applications received $ 13,098   $ 5,552   $ 23,673   $ 10,171

Loans originated:                      
Specialty products (1) $ 3,114   $ 1,398   $ 5,353   $ 2,506
Home equity / Seconds   399     668     823     1,134
Agency / Jumbo   3,335     531     4,889     943

Total loans originated $ 6,848   $ 2,597   $ 11,065   $ 4,583

Commitments to originate loans (end of period) $ 6,385   $ 2,956   $ 6,385   $ 2,956

Loans held for sale (end of period) $ 3,684   $ 1,519   $ 3,684   $ 1,519

 

(1) Specialty products include: Alt A, No Doc and A minus programs.

 

Manufactured Housing:                      
Total loans originated $ 228   $ 675   $ 415   $ 1,406

Loans held for sale (end of period) $ 352   $ 532   $ 352   $ 532

Total loan originations during the quarter for the mortgage and manufactured housing businesses were $7 billion and $11 billion, respectively, up from $3 billion and $6 billion, respectively during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000. Continued strength in specialty, agency and jumbo mortgage originations, attributable to declining interest rates and increased market share, offset the decline in manufactured housing originations resulting from lower industry volumes, tightened underwriting standards and risk based pricing initiatives.

Non-Performing Assets:

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, non-performing assets decreased by 4%. The ratio of non-performing loans to loans held for investment fell to 2.03% at June 30, 2001 from 2.27% at December 31, 2000 while the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets fell to 1.04% at June 30, 2001 from 1.33% at December 31, 2000.

Non-performing assets, net of related specific reserves, were as follows:

  June 30,   Dec.31,  
(In millions) 2001   2000  

  Mortgage loans secured by:        
  Residential one-to four-family $ 169   $ 170  
  Residential multi-family 9   12

  Other loans 2   1  

  Total non-performing loans (1) 191   197  
  Total other real estate owned, net 9   13  

  Total non-performing assets $ 200   $ 210  

 

(1) Includes $3 million and $6 million of non-accrual mortgage loans under 90 days past due at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.

 

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses:

The following is a summary of the provision and allowance for possible loan losses:

Net mortgage loan charge-offs were $1 million and $3 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, unchanged versus the comparable periods a year ago. Net charge-offs on the portfolio of manufactured housing loans held for investment were $4 million and $7 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001, versus $6 million and $12 million, respectively, for the comparable periods a year ago. The improvement versus a year ago on the portfolio of manufactured housing loans was primarily attributable to a change in the timing of charge-offs to conform to recent changes in regulatory standards.

Capital Ratios

The Company’s ratio of period-end stockholders’ equity to ending total assets at June 30, 2001 was 11.49% compared to 13.00% at December 31, 2000.

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 June 30, 2001, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

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.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure
about Market Risk

Market Risk Management

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. It arises in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, as the repricing characteristics of its loans do not match those of its liabilities. The resulting interest rate risk is managed by adjustments to the Company’s investment portfolio and the maturities of market borrowings.

Management responsibility for interest rate risk resides with the Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”). 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 are formulated and monitored by ALCO within policies and limits approved by the Board of Directors. These policies and limits set forth the maximum risk which the Board of Directors deems prudent, govern permissible investment securities and off-balance sheet instruments and identify acceptable counter-parties to securities and off-balance sheet transactions.

ALCO risk management strategies allow for the assumption of interest rate risk within the Board approved limits. The strategies are formulated based upon ALCO’s assessments of likely market developments and trends in the Company’s lending and consumer banking businesses. Strategies are developed with the aim of enhancing the Company’s net income and capital, while ensuring the risks to income and capital from adverse movements in interest rates are acceptable.

The Company’s income is affected by changes in the level of market interest rates based upon mismatches between the repricing of its assets and liabilities. One measure of interest rate sensitivity is provided by the accompanying net gap analysis, which organizes assets and liabilities according to the time period in which they reprice or mature. For many of the Company’s assets and liabilities, the maturity or repricing date is not determinable with certainty. For example, the Company’s mortgage and manufactured housing loans and its mortgage-backed securities can be prepaid before contractual amortization and/or maturity. Also, repricing of the Company’s non-time deposits is subject to management’s evaluation of the existing interest rate environment, current funding and liquidity needs, and other factors influencing the market competition for such deposits. The amounts in the accompanying table reflect management’s judgment of the most likely repricing schedule; actual results could vary from those detailed herein.

The difference between assets and liabilities repricing in a given period is one approximate measure of interest rate sensitivity. More assets than liabilities repricing in a period (a positive gap) implies earnings will rise as interest rates rise, and decline as interest rates decline. More liabilities repricing than assets implies declining income as rates rise and rising income as rates fall.

The use of interest rate instruments such as interest rate swaps is integrated into the Company’s interest rate risk management. The notional amounts of these instruments are not reflected in the Company’s balance sheet. Where applicable, these instruments are included in the interest rate sensitivity table for purposes of analyzing interest rate risk.

These repricing relationships do not consider the impact that rate movements might have on other components of the Bank’s risk profile; for example, an increase in interest rates, while implying that earnings will rise in a positive gap period, might also result in higher credit or default risk due to a higher probability of borrowers being unable to pay the contractual payments on loans. Likewise, a decrease in rates might result in an increase in the risk that funds received from loan prepayments are reinvested at lower rates and/or spreads.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap Analysis

The table below depicts the Company’s interest rate sensitivity as of June 30, 2001. Allocations of assets and liabilities, including non-interest bearing sources of funds to specific periods, are based upon management’s assessment of contractual or anticipated repricing characteristics, adjusted periodically to reflect actual experience. Those gaps are then adjusted for the net effect of off-balance sheet financial instruments such as interest rate swaps.

During the second quarter, ALCO conducted a review of the historical sensitivity of core deposit pricing and balances to changes in market interest rates. The review indicated deposit rates and balances were far less sensitive to changes in market rates than had been previously assumed. Accordingly, the Gap table below includes longer assumed deposit repricing maturities than in previous periods.

As of June 30, 2001, the cumulative volume of assets maturing or repricing within one year exceeded liabilities by $350 million, or 1.83% of total assets.

The static gap analysis is an incomplete representation of interest rate risk for several reasons. It fails to account for changes in prepayment speeds on the Company’s mortgage and manufactured housing loans and mortgage backed securities portfolios. The behavior of deposit balances will vary with changes in the general level of interest rates and management’s pricing strategies. The gap analysis does not provide a clear presentation of the risks to income arising from options embedded in the balance sheet.

Accordingly, ALCO makes extensive use of an earnings simulation model in the formulation of its market risk management strategy.

The model gives effect to management assumptions concerning the repricing of assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments, as well as business volumes, under a variety of hypothetical interest rate scenarios. These hypothetical scenarios incorporate interest rate increases and decreases of 200 basis points. Management expects that any changes over the next year will not exceed this range.

The most crucial management assumptions concern prepayments on the Company's mortgage loan portfolio and the pricing of consumer 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. Rates on non-maturity deposits rise and fall with the general level of interest rates, but tend to move less than proportionately. Rates offered on consumer certificates of deposits tend to move in close concert with market rates, though history suggests they increase less rapidly when market rates rise. Analysis shows that the Company's deposit volumes are relatively insensitive to interest rate movements within the range encompassed in the scenarios.

At June 30, 2001, based on this model, the Company's potential earnings at risk to a gradual, parallel 200 basis point decline in market interest rates over the next twelve months on instruments held for other than trading purposes was a decline of approximately 6.5% of projected 2001 net income. Conversely, a similar gradual 200 basis point increase in interest rates over the next twelve months would result in a projected increase in 2001 net income of 3.0% over what would be earned if rates remained constant. GreenPoint does not have significant exposure to such risk on instruments held for trading purposes.

Management has included all derivative and other financial instruments that have a material effect in calculating the Company’s potential earning at risk.

These measures of risk represent the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements at a particular point in time. The risk position is always changing. ALCO 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.

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk during the accumulation of mortgage loans prior to sale or securitization. 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 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.

During 1998, the Company entered the manufactured housing finance business, which introduced additional market risk. One set of risks resulted from the accumulation of fixed rate manufactured housing loans prior to sale or securitization of those loans. The level of market interest rates, and the spread over treasuries required by investors determines the prices of the securities backed by the Company’s manufactured housing loans. A rise in market interest rates, or a widening of spreads on manufactured housing-backed securities during the accumulation period will reduce the prices paid for the securities backed by the Company’s manufactured housing loans and the gain on sale.

The Company mitigates the risk associated with accumulating manufactured housing loans by hedging fixed-rate manufactured housing loan production prior to sale or securitization. Historical analysis indicates that interest rate swaps and Libor futures contracts correlate highly with rates paid on manufactured housing securities. Reports are prepared on the origination of fixed rate manufactured housing loans on a daily and weekly basis. As the loans are accumulated, the Bank enters into swaps in which it agrees to pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. Alternatively, the Bank will sell Libor futures contracts. The amount and duration of the swaps entered into and the futures contracts sold are selected so the change in fair value correlates closely with the changes in the fair value of securities backed by manufactured housing loans similar to the Company’s loan inventory. The loans and the resultant hedging relationships are monitored throughout the accumulation period. At the time a securitization is priced, establishing the gain on sale, the swap transactions are unwound and the futures contracts repurchased. The gain or loss on the hedge position is included as part of the gain on sale from the sale of securitization.

The Company acquired servicing assets as part of the GreenPoint Credit acquisition and holds retained interests in the manufactured housing securitizations completed in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

The fair value of the Company’s servicing assets and retained interests from securitizations are directly affected by the level of prepayments associated with the underlying loans. However, manufactured housing contracts historically have exhibited far less prepayment sensitivity to changing interest rate levels than do residential mortgage loans. Much of this reduced prepayment sensitivity can be attributed to lower borrower equity against which to refinance, and smaller loan sizes which reduce the incentive to refinance. Thus, in management’s judgment, there is little earnings sensitivity solely attributable to the effect of changes in general market interest rates on servicing assets.

Credit Risk Management

The Company originates mortgage and manufactured housing 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.

Both GreenPoint Mortgage and GreenPoint Credit maintain underwriting policies, procedures and approval authorities appropriate to their businesses. In both companies, the chief credit executive reports directly to the chief executive of the business, outside of the production organization. With respect to 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 independent, executive-level Risk Management Division determines the criteria required for loans which will be transferred to GreenPoint’s portfolio or sold through securitizations. Within GreenPoint Credit, sophisticated custom scoring models are also used to determine a borrower’s creditworthiness.

Oversight of the appraiser approval and appraisal review process is provided 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 in each business unit to ensure that 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.

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 in all the mortgage and manufactured housing 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 loan origination activity is geographically diversified throughout the U.S. GreenPoint began originating loans outside of New York State in 1996. 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 and works 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 are decentralized among its 24 regional offices in order to more effectively repossess and liquidate collateral, thereby minimizing the loss severity. In 2000, a centralized collection center was opened in California to target early stage delinquencies more cost-effectively, thereby allowing the regional offices to focus on serious delinquencies.

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.
