Flagstar Bancorp Inc.’s loan production rose last year, while the servicing portfolio continued to grow. But the latest quarterly earnings deteriorated.Residential loan production last year was $28.0 billion, according to earnings data reported today. Volume was 9 percent higher than $25.7 billion reported for 2007.
During just the fourth quarter, Flagstar funded $5.4 billion, falling from $6.7 billion in the third quarter and $6.5 billion 12 months earlier. The portfolio of mortgages serviced for others ended last year at $55.9 billion, increasing from $51.8 billion on Sept. 30 and $32.5 billion on Dec. 31, 2007. Flagstar said it earns 33 basis points for its servicing fee. Flagstar’s first mortgage holdings were $6.0 billion at the end of December, down from $6.1 billion at the end of September and $5.8 billion a year earlier. Second-mortgage holdings were off slightly from September to $0.3 billion but were well above $0.1 billion 12 months prior. Commercial mortgages on the balance sheet were $1.8 billion, up from $1.7 billion the prior quarter. Last year, Flagstar had a $257 million loss — soaring from a $39 million loss during 2007. Fourth-quarter losses were $200 million, worsening from a $62 million third-quarter loss and a $30 million loss one year earlier. Flagstar disclosed that it will receive $523 million in capital from three sources — including $267 million in capital purchase program proceeds under the Troubled Asset Relief Program and $250 million from MP Thrift Investments L.P., which has committed to another $100 million in equity investments during the first quarter.
