Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations Signature Bridge Bank On March 20, 2023, the Company’s wholly owned bank subsidiary, Flagstar Bank N.A. (the “Bank”), entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), as receiver (the "FDIC Receiver") of Signature Bridge Bank, N.A. (“Signature”) to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Signature (the “Signature Transaction”). Headquartered in New York, New York, Signature was a full-service commercial bank that operated 29 branches in New York, seven branches in California, two branches in North Carolina, one branch in Connecticut, and one branch in Nevada. In connection with the Signature Transaction the Bank assumed all of Signature’s branches. The Bank acquired only certain parts of Signature it believes to be financially and strategically complementary that are intended to enhance the Company’s future growth. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company was not required to make a cash payment to the FDIC on March 20, 2023 as consideration for the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The final settlement process between the Company and the FDIC concluded upon the one-year anniversary of the Signature Transaction. In addition, as part of the consideration for the Signature Transaction, the Company granted the FDIC equity appreciation rights in the common stock of the Company under an equity appreciation instrument (the "Equity Appreciation Instrument"). On March 31, 2023, the Company issued 13,010,668 shares of Company common stock to the FDIC pursuant to the Equity Appreciation Instrument. On May 19, 2023, the FDIC completed the secondary offering of those shares. The Company has determined that the Signature Transaction constitutes a business combination as defined by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"). ASC 805 establishes principles and requirements as to how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. Accordingly, the Company recorded the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 20, 2023, which was subject to adjustment for up to one year after March 20, 2023 (the “Measurement Period”). The Measurement Period concluded on March 20, 2024, and the Company has finalized its review of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Under the Agreement, the Company provided certain services to the FDIC to assist the FDIC in its administration of certain assets and liabilities which were not assumed by the Company and which remain under the control of the FDIC (the “Interim Servicing”). The FDIC reimbursed the Company for costs associated with the Interim Servicing based upon an agreed upon fee which approximates the cost to provide such services. The Interim Servicing was completed in March 2024. The determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed required management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash ﬂows, market conditions and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and subject to change. A summary of the net assets acquired and the estimated fair value adjustments resulting in the bargain purchase gain is as follows:
(in millions) | March 20, 2023
Net assets acquired before fair value adjustments | $ | 2,973 |
Fair value adjustments: |
Loans | (727) |
Core deposit and other intangibles | 464 |
Certificates of deposit | 27 |
Other net assets and liabilities | 39 |
FDIC Equity Appreciation Instrument | (85) |
Deferred tax liability | (690) |
Bargain purchase gain on Signature Transaction, as initially reported | $ | 2,001 |
Adjustments related to items identified subsequent to the initial reporting period as of March 20, 2023: |
Measurement period adjustments, excluding taxes | (134) |
Change in deferred tax liability | 143 |
Bargain purchase gain on Signature Transaction, as adjusted | $ | 2,010 |
In connection with the Signature Transaction, the Company recorded a bargain purchase gain, as adjusted, of approximately $2.0 billion. This includes a $121 million reduction in the bargain purchase gain during the three months ended March 31, 2024, due to final adjustments to the fair value of assets received and liabilities assumed, including the in-transit and other shared accounts. This adjustment is included in non-interest income in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. No adjustments have been made subsequent to the conclusion of the Measurement Period on March 20, 2024. The bargain purchase gain represents the excess of the estimated fair value of the assets acquired (including cash payments received from the FDIC) over the estimated fair value of the liabilities assumed and was influenced significantly by the FDIC-assisted transaction process. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed and consideration paid in the Signature Transaction were recorded at their estimated fair values based on management’s best estimates using information available at the date of the Signature Transaction. The following table provides the purchase price allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the Signature Transaction:
(in millions) | As Initially Reported | Measurement Period Adjustments | As Adjusted
Purchase Price consideration | $ | 85 |  |  | $ | 85 |
Fair value of assets acquired: |  |  |
Cash & cash equivalents | 25,043 |  | (142) |  | 24,901 |
Loans held for sale | 232 |  |  | 232 |
Loans held for investment: |  |  |
Commercial and industrial | 10,102 |  | (214) |  | 9,888 |
Commercial real estate | 1,942 |  | (262) |  | 1,680 |
Consumer and other | 174 |  | (1) |  | 173 |
Total loans held for investment | 12,218 |  | (477) |  | 11,741 |

Deposits | 33,568 |  | (61) |  | 33,507 |
Other liabilities | 2,982 |  | (833) |  | 2,149 |
Total liabilities assumed | 36,550 |  | (894) |  | 35,656 |
Fair value of net identifiable assets | 2,086 |  | 9 |  | 2,095 |
Bargain purchase gain | $ | 2,001 |  | $ | 9 |  | $ | 2,010 |
During the Measurement Period, the Company recorded adjustments to the estimated fair value of loans and leases acquired based on information received after the transaction date, and to adjust other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities for balances ultimately retained by the FDIC. The Company also recognized a net change in the deferred tax liability due to the measurement period adjustments and the secondary offering of shares completed by the FDIC. Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, reflecting assumptions that a market participant would use when pricing an asset or liability. In some cases, the estimation of fair values requires management to make estimates about discount rates, future expected cash flows, market conditions, and other future events that are highly subjective in nature and are subject to change. See Note 3 - Business Combinations to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2023 for information regarding the Signature Transaction, including methods used to determine the fair values of the significant assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Unaudited Pro Forma Information – Signature Transaction The Company’s operating results for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Signature subsequent to the acquisition on March 20, 2023. Due to the use of multiple systems and integration of the operating activities into those of the Company, historical reporting for the former Signature operations is impracticable and thus disclosures of the revenue from the assets acquired and income before income taxes is impracticable for the period subsequent to acquisition. Signature was only in operation from March 12, 2023 to March 20, 2023 and does not have historical financial information on which we could base pro forma information. Additionally, we did not acquire all assets or assume all liabilities of Signature and the historical operations are not consistent with the transaction. Therefore, it is impracticable to provide pro forma information on revenues and earnings for the Signature Transaction in accordance with ASC 805-10-50-2.
