Flagstar Announces 2017 Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test Results

TROY, Mich., Oct. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: FBC) today announced the results of its company-run 2017 Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test ("DFAST"), conducted in accordance with regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the "FRB") and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC").

DFAST is a forward-looking exercise under which the Company and its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, estimate the impact of a hypothetical "severely adverse" macroeconomic scenario provided by the FRB and OCC on its financial condition and its regulatory capital ratios over a nine-quarter time horizon. 

Flagstar's DFAST results, given these hypothetical scenarios provided by the regulatory agencies, suggest that Flagstar would maintain sufficient capital to remain well capitalized throughout the nine-quarter DFAST time horizon.

Additional information regarding Flagstar's DFAST results may be found on the company's website at flagstar.com under Webcasts & Presentations, 2017 Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test Results.

"We are very pleased with the results of our stress test," said Alessandro P. DiNello, president and chief executive officer of Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. "These results clearly demonstrate a robust capital position that supports our current business and also provides a significant opportunity for continued growth."
