R-U106 is the second largest branch of R-M269. A slight narrowing.
Out of the entire FTDNA database, R-U106 is about 10%. So you could say that a U106 identification rules out 90% of males.
If you really want to look at this a bit harder, FTDNA is testing plenty of SNPs downstream of U106. The fact that your match did not test positive for one of those implies that he is likely on a branch that was not tested. Probably a small branch off U106.
btw, U106 is also known as M405 or S21
