Flagstar Financial Reports $70 Million Net Loss in Q2 2025, Improved from Previous Quarter

Flagstar Financial, Inc. reported a net loss of $70 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease from a net loss of $100 million in the previous quarter. The loss attributable to common stockholders was $78 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $108 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. For the first half of 2025, the company recorded a net loss of $170 million, significantly improved from a net loss of $650 million during the same period in 2024. This improvement is attributed to a reduction in the previous year's losses related to the Signature Transaction.

Total assets for Flagstar Financial stood at $92.2 billion as of June 30, 2025, with total loans amounting to $64.4 billion and deposits at $69.7 billion. The company has been actively restructuring its loan portfolio, resulting in a decrease of $4.2 billion in loans held for investment compared to the end of 2024. This reduction is part of a strategic shift to diversify its loan offerings, particularly by decreasing exposure to multi-family and commercial real estate loans. The company has also seen a decrease in its allowance for credit losses, which fell to $1.1 billion from $1.2 billion at the end of 2024.

In terms of operational developments, Flagstar Financial is undergoing a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, which is expected to streamline its corporate structure. This merger, announced on July 24, 2025, is pending shareholder and regulatory approvals and aims to enhance operational efficiency. The company operates approximately 360 locations across nine states, with a strong presence in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area and growing markets in Florida and the West Coast.

The company reported a net interest income of $419 million for the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $9 million from the previous quarter, driven by a higher net interest margin of 1.81%. However, net interest income for the first half of 2025 decreased by $352 million compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower average loans and leases as part of its strategic reduction in certain loan types. Non-interest income also saw a decline, totaling $77 million for the second quarter, down from $80 million in the first quarter, but up from $123 million in the same period last year.

Looking ahead, Flagstar Financial is focused on executing its strategic transformation plan, which includes enhancing operational efficiency and developing a customer-centric culture. The company anticipates that the successful execution of this plan will improve its financial resilience and drive sustainable earnings. However, it acknowledges potential risks related to market conditions, regulatory changes, and the integration of acquired assets, which could impact future performance.
