We expect the Astoria merger to provide multiple opportunities to drive
profitable, sustainable, long-term asset growth.
The Pro Forma Company is Primed for Strong Core Asset Growth
Results in greater on-balance sheet capacity to support loan production
Highly liquid residential mortgage loan portfolio provides the flexibility to manage our asset mix
Stronger capital formation and multiple sources of funding and liquidity are available to support growth
Growth Levers
More loans to be retained in portfolio once
SIFI threshold is exceeded ($2.6 billion of
loans sold from 3Q 2014 through 4Q 2015
to manage our assets under $50 billion)
Expected sale of acquired (higher-risk)
assets to support loan growth going forward
Facilitates the continuation of our growth-
through-acquisition strategy
Results
Earnings growth
Higher operating leverage
Improved risk profile
Enhanced returns for investors


New York Community Bancorp, Inc.

De-risking our balance sheet is expected to strengthen our
financial performance both before and after the merger.
Balance Sheet Repositioning Strategies
In 4Q 2015, we prepaid $10.4 billion of primarily puttable wholesale borrowings with an average cost of 3.16% and
replaced them with a like amount of wholesale borrowings with fixed maturities and an average cost of 1.58%.
While the prepayment of wholesale borrowings resulted in a one-time after-tax debt repositioning charge of $546.8
million in 4Q 2015, it is expected to reduce our annual interest expense by ~ $100 million after-tax beginning in
2016. 
Upon completion of the merger, the terms on $1.5 billion of short-term borrowings will be extended, reducing our
interest rate sensitivity.
We also expect to sell $1.0 billion of Astoria’s non-performing and higher-risk assets at the close.
Benefits of De-Risking:
Eliminates puttable risk
Improves NPV and NII interest rate
sensitivity ratios
Reduces exposure to rising interest rates
Enhances both liquidity and asset quality
Financial Benefits Expected in
FY 16 from 4Q 15 Repositioning:
EPS accretion:
~ 10%
Net Interest Margin:
~ 35 bps
Net Interest Income:
~ $165 million
Net Income:
~ $100 million

Enhancing our capital management strategy has strengthened our
capital measures and is expected to facilitate further growth.
Completed on 11/4/15, our common stock offering:
Immediately supported our tangible stockholders’ equity
and Tier 1 common equity; and
Exceeded by $87.3 million the impact on capital of the
one-time after-tax balance sheet repositioning charge
incurred in 4Q 2015.
Adjusting our quarterly cash dividend to $0.17 per share
positioned us for sustainable long-term capital growth while
still providing our investors with an attractive yield.
Dividend declared on 1/26/16 provided a yield of 4.6%.
Capital retention served to minimize the dilution from our
4Q 2015 capital raise.
Building capital will facilitate the execution of our growth-
through-acquisition strategy going forward, and provide
the flexibility to maximize future value-enhancing capital
deployment strategies.

Following enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, we began allocating significant resources towards SIFI
preparedness.
The degree to which we have already leveraged the cost of SIFI compliance is reflected in the ~ 800-basis
point increase in our efficiency ratio since the enactment of Dodd-Frank.
The merger will provide the additional scale to leverage the remaining SIFI compliance costs.
While we expect the merger to bring us well beyond the current
SIFI threshold, we plan to cross it organically in 2Q 2016.

SIFI Compliance
Key infrastructure investments to date include:
