FIRST NIAGARA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(in thousands, except as noted and per share amounts)
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of First Niagara Financial Group, Inc.
(the Company), including its wholly owned subsidiary First Niagara Bank, N.A. (the Bank), have
been prepared using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial
information.
These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by GAAP for a full year presentation and certain disclosures have been condensed or
omitted in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In our
opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 do not necessarily reflect the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 2011. We reviewed subsequent events and determined that no further disclosures
or adjustments were required. Amounts in prior period financial statements are reclassified
whenever necessary to conform to the current period presentation. The Company and the Bank are
referred to collectively as we or us or our.
Note 1. Acquisitions
NewAlliance Bancshares, Inc.
On April 15, 2011, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of NewAlliance
Bancshares, Inc. (NewAlliance), the parent company of NewAlliance Bank, for total consideration
of $1.5 billion, and thereby acquired NewAlliance Banks 88 branch locations across eight counties
from Greenwich, Connecticut to Springfield, Massachusetts. The merger with NewAlliance enabled us
to expand into the New England market, improve our core deposit base, and add additional scale in
our banking operations. The results of NewAlliances operations are included in our Consolidated
Statements of Income from the date of acquisition.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, as amended, each outstanding share of NewAlliance stock
was converted into the right to receive either 1.10 shares of common stock of the Company, or
$14.28 in cash, or a combination thereof. As a result, NewAlliance stockholders received 94
million shares of Company common stock, valued at $1.3 billion, based on the $14.00 closing price
of the Companys stock on April 15, 2011, and cash consideration of $199 million. Also under the
terms of the merger agreement, NewAlliance employees became 100% vested in any NewAlliance stock
options they held and these options converted into options to purchase Company common stock. These
options had a fair value of $16 million on the date of acquisition.

The above recognized amounts of loans, other assets and other liabilities, at fair value, are
preliminary estimates and are subject to adjustment but actual amounts are not expected to differ
materially from those shown.
We estimated the fair value of loans acquired from NewAlliance by utilizing a methodology wherein
similar loans were aggregated into pools. Cash flows for each pool were determined by estimating
future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then
discounted to present value based on a market rate for similar loans. There was no carryover of
NewAlliances allowance for loan losses associated with the loans we acquired as the loans were
initially recorded at fair value.
Information about the acquired NewAlliance loan portfolio as of April 15, 2011 is as
follows:
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition |
$ | 6,472,506 | ||
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable discount) |
(212,724 | ) | ||

(1,146,587 | ) | ||
Fair value of acquired loans |
$ | 5,113,195 | ||
The core deposit intangible asset recognized as part of the NewAlliance merger is being
amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately seven years utilizing an accelerated
method. The goodwill, which is not amortized for book purposes, was assigned to our banking
segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from NewAlliance was assumed to
approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand.
Certificates of deposit were valued by projecting out the expected cash flows based on the
contractual terms of the certificates of deposit. These cash flows were discounted based on a
market rate for a certificate of deposit with a corresponding maturity.
The fair value of borrowings, which was largely comprised of FHLB advances, was determined by
obtaining
settlement quotes from the FHLB.

Direct costs related to the NewAlliance acquisition were expensed as incurred
and amounted to $82.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2011. Severance costs comprised more than half of these merger and acquisition integration expenses, which also included charitable contributions, professional services, marketing and advertising, technology and communications,
occupancy and equipment, and other noninterest expenses.
The following table presents financial information regarding the former NewAlliance
operations included in our Consolidated Statement of Income from the date of acquisition through

Harleysville National Corporation
On April 9, 2010, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Harleysville
National Corporation (Harleysville), the parent company of Harleysville National Bank and Trust
Company, and thereby acquired all of Harleysville National Bank and Trust Companys 83 branch
locations across nine Eastern Pennsylvania counties. Under the terms of the merger agreement,
Harleysville stockholders received 0.474 shares of Company common stock
in exchange for each share of Harleysville common stock, resulting in our issuance of 20.3 million
common shares of First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. common stock with an acquisition date fair
value of $299 million. Also under the terms of the merger agreement, Harleysville employees became
100% vested in any Harleysville stock options they held. These options had a fair value of $1
million on the date of acquisition. The merger with Harleysville enabled us to expand into the
Eastern Pennsylvania market, improve our core deposit base, and add additional scale in our banking
operations.

We estimated the fair value for most loans acquired from Harleysville by utilizing a
methodology wherein loans with comparable characteristics were aggregated by type of collateral,
remaining maturity, and repricing terms. Cash flows for each pool were determined by estimating
future credit losses and the rate of prepayments. Projected monthly cash flows were then
discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans. To estimate the
fair value of the remaining loans, we analyzed the value of the underlying collateral of the loans,
assuming the fair values of the loans were derived from the eventual sale of the collateral. The
value of the collateral was based on recently completed appraisals adjusted to the valuation date
based on recognized industry indices. We discounted those values using market derived rates of
return, with consideration given to the period of time and costs associated with the foreclosure
and disposition of the collateral. There was no carryover of Harleysvilles allowance for loan losses associated with the loans we acquired as the loans were initially recorded at fair value.
Information about the acquired Harleysville loan portfolio as of April 9, 2010 is as follows:
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition |
$ | 3,383,245 | ||
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable discount) |

amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately nine years utilizing an accelerated

segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from Harleysville was assumed
to
approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand.
Certificates of deposit were valued by comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to an
identical portfolio bearing current market rates. The projected cash flows
from maturing certificates were calculated based on contractual rates. The fair value of the
certificates of deposit was calculated by discounting their contractual cash flows at a market rate
for a certificate of deposit with a corresponding maturity.
The fair value of borrowings assumed was determined by estimating projected future cash outflows
and discounting them at a market rate of interest.

to benefit customers in our newly added New England market, on April 14, 2011, we acquired Pierson

In the discussion of our investment portfolio below, we have included certain credit rating
information because the information indicates the degree of credit risk to which we are
exposed, and significant changes in ratings classifications for our investment portfolio could
result in increased risk for us.
As of
June 30, 2011, 99% of the fair value of our investment
securities portfolio was rated A- or higher.
At March 31, 2011, we transferred $2.0 billion of securities from our available for sale portfolio
to our held to maturity portfolio as we determined that we have the intent and ability to hold
these securities to maturity. The transferred securities were primarily mortgage-backed securities
and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) issued by the Government National Mortgage
Association (GNMA) and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and had net unrealized
gains, net of tax, of $4 million on the date of transfer, which will be amortized over the
remaining life of the related securities as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the
amortization of the premium on the same transferred debt securities.
At June 30, 2011, of the 22 non-agency CMOs in an unrealized loss position, seven were in a
continuous unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. At December 31, 2010, of the 22
non-agency CMOs in an unrealized loss position, eight were in a continuous unrealized loss position
for 12 months or more. We have assessed these securities in an unrealized loss position at June
30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and determined that the declines in fair value below amortized cost
were temporary.

While the contractual maturities of our mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and
other securities generally exceed ten years, we expect the effective lives to be significantly
shorter due to prepayments of the underlying loans and the nature of the mortgage-backed,
asset-backed, and other securities that we own. The duration of our securities available for sale
increased to 3.95 years at June 30, 2011 from 3.73 years at December 31, 2010 as a result of an
increase in yield volatility and an increase in the weighted average life of our portfolio caused
by slowing prepayments in our mortgage-backed securities portfolio, which, in turn, extends the
life of the bonds.
At March 31, 2011, we transferred $2.0 billion of investment securities from available for sale to
held to maturity. The amortized cost, unrealized gains and losses, and fair value of these
transferred investment securities immediately prior to the transfer are as follows:

Our loan portfolio is made up of two segments, commercial loans and consumer loans. Those segments
are further segregated between our loans accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred to
as legacy loans) and loans acquired after January 1, 2009 (referred to as acquired loans). The
outstanding principal balance and the related carrying amount of our acquired loans included in our
Consolidated Statements of Condition at the dates indicated are as follows:

During the first quarter of 2011, we refined our process used to estimate the allowance for
loan losses by increasing the granularity of historical net loss experience data utilized for both
our commercial and consumer portfolio segments.
Prior to the first quarter of 2011, we estimated a portion of the allowance for loan losses within
our commercial loan portfolio segment utilizing historical net charge-off rates that were specific
to the different loan types within the portfolio segment. As our commercial portfolio continues to
grow, we believe that our estimate of the allowance would be enhanced through application of loss
rates at a more granular level. Accordingly, we now estimate the allowance for these loans
considering its type and grade.
Similarly, in the first quarter of 2011, we improved the nature of historical net loss experience
data used to estimate a portion of the allowance for loan losses within our consumer loan portfolio
segment. Prior to the first quarter, we estimated losses on our consumer loan portfolio segment
utilizing average loss rates for each loan type based on historical net charge-offs. The
enhancement in the first quarter provides further granularity by incorporating both loan type and
delinquency rate trends into our loss rates. The enhanced approach estimates the inherent loss in
the current portfolio based on their loan type and current delinquency status.
We assessed the impact of the changes and concluded that they did not have a significant impact
when compared to our estimates based on our previous approach for either portfolio segment.

As of
June 30, 2011, we had a liability for unfunded commitments of $5.8 million, which
included $2.9 million in purchase accounting adjustments related to our acquired unfunded
commitments. For the three and six months ending June 30, 2011, we recognized a provision for
credit loss related to our unfunded commitments of $2.9 million.
As of June 30, 2011, we expect to fully collect the carrying value of our acquired loans
and have determined that we can reasonably estimate their future cash flows including those loans
that are 90 days or more past due. As a result, we do not consider our acquired loans that are 90
days or more past due to be nonaccrual or nonperforming and continue to recognize interest income
on these loans, including the impact of the loans accretable discount. Our nonaccruing loans from our

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, nonaccrual loans differed from the amount of total
impaired loans as certain TDRs, which are considered impaired loans, were accruing interest due to
the satisfactory performance of the borrowers under the restructured terms of the loans. Also
contributing to the difference are nonaccrual commercial loans less than $200 thousand and
nonaccrual consumer loans, which are not considered impaired unless they have been modified in a
TDR as they are evaluated collectively when determining the allowance for loan losses. The
following table is a reconciliation between nonaccrual loans and impaired loans at the dates
indicated:

(1) | Includes special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss, which are
consistent with regulatory definitions, and as described in Item 1, Business, under the
heading Classification of Assets in our Annual Report on 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2010. |
|
(2) | Acquired loans were originally recorded at fair value upon acquisition. These
loans are considered to be accruing as we can reasonably estimate future cash flows on these
acquired loans and we expect to fully collect the carrying value of these loans. Therefore,
we are accreting the difference between the carrying value of these loans and their expected
cash flows. |

Note 4. Derivative Financial Instruments
We are a party to derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage
our own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to meet the needs of our customers.
These financial instruments have been limited to interest rate swap agreements, which are
entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and, where appropriate,
contain master netting and collateral provisions protecting the party at risk. We believe that
the credit risk inherent in all of our derivative contracts is minimal based on our credit
standards and the presence of the netting and collateral provisions within the interest rate
swap agreements.
Our derivative positions include both instruments that are designated as hedging instruments and
instruments that are customer related and not designated in hedging relationships. The following
table presents information regarding our derivative financial instruments, at the dates
indicated:

Derivatives designated in hedging relationships
We designate interest rate swap agreements used to manage changes in the fair value of loans due
to interest rate changes as fair value hedges. We have designated the risk of changes in the
fair value of loans attributable to changes in the benchmark rate as the hedged risk.
Accordingly, changes to the fair value of the hedged items or derivatives attributable to a
change in credit risk are excluded from our assessment of hedge effectiveness. The change in
fair value of the derivatives, including both the effective and ineffective portions, is
recognized in earnings and, so long as our fair value hedging relationships remain highly
effective, such change is offset by the gain or loss due to the change in fair value of the
loans.
We have also entered into interest rate swaps to offset the variability in the interest cash
outflows of London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) based borrowings. These derivative
instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. We have designated the risk of changes in the
amount of interest payment cash flows to be made during the term of the borrowings attributable
to changes in the benchmark rate as the hedged risk. Accordingly, changes to the amount of
interest payment cash flows for the hedged items or derivatives attributable to a change in
credit risk are excluded from our assessment of hedge effectiveness. Our interest rate swaps
designated as cash flow hedges have maturities that correspond to the maturity of the related
hedged borrowing. The maturities of the hedged borrowings range from 2011 to 2014. Any gain or
loss associated with the effective portion of our cash flow hedges is recognized in other
comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which
the hedged forecasted transactions affects earnings. Any gain or loss associated with the
ineffective portion of our cash flow hedges is recognized immediately in earnings. During the
next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $7.9 million of pre-tax net loss on cash flow
hedges from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings. This amount is estimated and
could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates.

Derivatives not designated in hedging relationships
In addition to our derivatives designated in hedge relationships, we act as an interest rate
swap counterparty for certain commercial borrowers in the normal course of servicing our
customers, which are accounted for as free standing derivatives. We manage our exposure to such
interest rate swaps by simultaneously entering into corresponding and offsetting interest rate
swaps with third parties that mirror the terms of the interest rate swaps we have with the
commercial borrowers. These positions (referred to as back-to-back swaps) directly offset
each other and our exposure is the positive fair value of the derivatives due to changes in
credit risk of our commercial borrowers and third parties. We earn fee income for this service
that we provide our customers, as indicated in the table below.

Note 5. Income Taxes
Our net
deferred tax asset totaled $134 million and $123 million at June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010, respectively. The increase primarily relates to deferred tax assets
related to NewAlliance partially offset by deferred tax liabilities resulting from the increase
in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of our liability for uncertain tax positions is
as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2011:
Balance at beginning of period |
$ | 8,299 | ||
Additions for tax positions of prior year recorded due to current year acquisitions |
260 | |||
Reductions for tax positions of prior years |
(6,089 | ) | ||
Balance at end of period |
$ | 2,470 | ||
29
Table of Contents
The reduction in the balance of the liability for uncertain tax positions for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 relates to a revision of an uncertain tax position. Of this reduction, $4
million was recorded as a decrease in goodwill and $2 million was reclassified as a deferred tax
asset valuation allowance. Additionally, related to this reduction, there was a $1 million
decrease in income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 due to the reversal of accrued
interest.
Note 6. Restructuring Charges
As a result of our recent acquisitions,
management has adjusted certain aspects of
our delivery channels and infrastructure. Specifically, we have adjusted the branch
network in Eastern Pennsylvania; consolidated certain back office
facilities; and restructured our
back office infrastructure and operations.
These efforts resulted in expenses of $11.7 million and $1.1 million in the quarters ended June 30,
2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Concerning our plans to adjust our branch network, we
recognized $3.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and estimate the remaining pre-tax
impact of this initiative to be in the range of $15 million to $18 million. For our plans to exit
other acquired facilities, mostly in Eastern Pennsylvania, we recognized $2.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and we estimate the
remaining pre-tax impact of exiting these facilities to be in the range of $16 million to $20
million. Finally, for actions to restructure our back office services, we recognized
$5.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and we estimate the remaining pre-tax impact of
this to be in the range of $11 million to $14 million.
These charges are all attributable to our banking segment. The liability balance related to these
measures was not significant at June 30, 2011.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements
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.
Current accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the transparency of inputs
participants use to price an asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes these inputs
into the following three levels:
Level 1 Inputs Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that are available at the measurement date.
31
Table of Contents
Level 2 Inputs Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment
speeds, credit risks, etc.), or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by
market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs Unobservable inputs for determining the fair value of the asset or liability
and are based on the entitys own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would
use to price the asset or liability.
A financial instruments categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level
of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. A description of the valuation
methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of
such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
Our valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net
realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While we believe our valuation methodologies
are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies
or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a
different estimate of fair value at each measurement date.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

There were no significant transfers of assets or liabilities into or out of Level 1, Level
2, or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Securities Available for Sale
The fair value estimates of available for sale securities are based on quoted market prices of
identical securities, where available (Level 1). However, as quoted prices of identical
securities are not often available, the fair value estimate for almost our entire investment
portfolio is based on quoted market prices of similar securities, adjusted for differences
between the securities (Level 2). Adjustments may include amounts to reflect differences in
underlying collateral, interest rates, estimated prepayment speeds, and counterparty credit
quality. We obtain fair value estimates from third parties and review these values, on a
quarterly basis, by comparing them to values provided by a different independent pricing
service. We also review detailed valuation methodologies provided to us by our pricing services
based on our market knowledge.
Due to
the lack of observable market data, we have classified our trust preferred securities,
included in corporate debt securities, in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We determined
the fair value using third party pricing services including brokers.

Loans held for sale
Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, we have generally elected the fair value option upon
origination of residential real estate loans held for sale as we believe the fair value
measurement of such loans reduces certain timing differences in our Statement of Income and
better aligns with our management of the portfolio from a business perspective. This election is
made at the time of origination and is irrevocable. The secondary market for securities backed
by similar loan types is actively traded, which provides readily observable market pricing to be
used as input for the estimate for the fair value of our loans. Accordingly, we have classified
this fair value measurement as Level 2. Interest income on these loans is recognized in Interest
income Loans and leases in our Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 31, 2010, we
had not elected the fair value option for any of the loans in our held for sale portfolio.
Information about our loans held for sale, for which we elected the fair value option, is
presented below for the second quarter of 2011:

Interest Rate Swaps
We obtain fair value measurements of our interest rate swaps from a third party. The fair value
measurements are determined using a market standard methodology of netting discounted future
fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or
receipts). Variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest
rates derived from observable market interest rate curves. Credit valuation adjustments are
incorporated to appropriately reflect our nonperformance risk as well as the counterpartys
nonperformance risk. The impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as
bilateral collateral arrangements, mutual puts, and guarantees are also considered in the fair
value measurement.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps was estimated using primarily Level 2 inputs.
However, Level 3 inputs were used to determine credit valuation adjustments, such as estimates
of current credit quality to evaluate the likelihood of default. We have determined that the
impact of these credit valuation adjustments is not significant to the overall valuation of our
interest rate swaps. Therefore, we have classified the entire fair value of our interest rate
swaps in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The changes in Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a
recurring basis were as follows for the six months ended June 30:

Collateral Dependent Impaired Loans
We record nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of collateral dependent impaired loans
when establishing the allowance for loan losses. Such amounts are generally based on the fair
value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan less estimated costs to sell the
collateral. When the fair value of such collateral, less costs to sell, is less than the
carrying value of the loan, a specific allowance is created through a provision for credit
losses. Real estate collateral is typically valued using independent appraisals that we review
for acceptability, or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar
properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace and the related nonrecurring
fair value measurements have been classified as Level 2. Under certain circumstances
significant adjustments may be made to the appraisal value due to the lack of direct marketplace
information. Such adjustments are made as determined necessary in the judgment of our
experienced senior credit officers to reflect current market conditions and current operating
results for the specific collateral. When the fair value of collateral dependent impaired loans
is based on appraisals containing significant adjustments, such collateral dependent impaired
loans are classified as Level 3. We obtain new appraisals from an approved appraiser. Updated
appraisals are obtained when necessary but at least every 18 to 24 months.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 we recorded an increase of $6.7 million to our
specific allowance as a result of adjusting the fair value of the collateral for certain
collateral dependent impaired loans to $22.0 million at June 30, 2011. During the six months
ended June 30, 2010 we recorded a net decrease of $1.7 million to our specific allowance as a
result of adjusting the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent impaired
loans to $55.4 million at June 30, 2010.

Table of Contents
Our fair value estimates are made as of the dates indicated, based on relevant market
information and information about the financial instruments, including our judgments regarding
future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various
financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in our assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Our fair value
estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for each type of financial instrument.
The method of estimating the fair value of the financial instruments disclosed in the table
above does not necessarily incorporate the exit price concept used to record financial
instruments at fair value in our Consolidated Statements of Condition.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because these
instruments have original maturities of three months or less.
Investment Securities
The fair value estimates of available for sale securities are based on quoted market prices of
identical securities, where available. However, as quoted prices of identical securities are
not often available, the fair value estimate for almost our entire investment portfolio is
based on quoted market prices of similar securities, adjusted for differences between the
securities. Adjustments may include amounts to reflect differences in underlying collateral,
interest rates, estimated prepayment speeds, and counterparty credit quality. We obtain fair
value measurements from third parties.
Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Common Stock
The carrying value of our Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank common stock
approximates fair value.
Loans and Leases
Our variable rate loans reprice as the associated rate index changes. Therefore, the carrying
value of these loans approximates fair value. We calculated the fair value of our fixed-rate
loans and leases by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using credit
adjusted period end origination rates. Our estimate of maturity is based on the contractual
cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates based on current economic and lending conditions.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable
The carrying value of accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable approximates fair
value.
Deposits
The fair value of our deposits with no stated maturity, such as savings and checking, as well as
mortgagors payments held in escrow, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value
of our certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows, using
the period end rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowings
The fair value of our borrowings is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the
estimated maturity using period end market rates for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
Commitments
The fair value of our commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial
guarantees are not included in the above table as the carrying value generally approximates fair
value. These instruments generate fees that approximate those currently charged to originate
similar commitments.

ITEM 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide greater details of our results of
operations and financial condition and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this document. Certain statements
under this caption constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, which involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements relate to, among
other things, expectations of the business environment in which First Niagara Financial Group, Inc.
and its subsidiaries operate, projections of future performance and perceived opportunities in the
market. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results, performance, and
achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
such a difference include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, competition in the
geographic and business areas in which we conduct our operations, fluctuation in interest rates,
changes in the credit quality of our borrowers and obligors on investment securities we own,
increased regulation of financial institutions or other effects of recently enacted legislation,
and other factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010
under Item 1A. Risk Factors. First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. does not undertake, and
specifically disclaims, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the
occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
OVERVIEW
First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. is a Delaware corporation and a bank holding company (the
Company), subject to supervision and regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the Federal Reserve), serving both retail and commercial customers through our bank
subsidiary, First Niagara Bank, N.A. (the Bank), a national bank subject to supervision and
regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the OCC). At June 30, 2011, we had
$30.9 billion in assets, $18.9 billion in deposits, and 346 full-service branch locations across
Upstate New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Western Massachussetts. The Company and the Bank
are referred to collectively as we or us or our.
On April 15, 2011, we acquired all of the outstanding common shares of NewAlliance Bancshares, Inc.
(NewAlliance), the parent company of NewAlliance Bank, and thereby acquired NewAlliance Banks 88
branch locations in Connecticut and Western Massachusetts. As a result of the merger, we acquired
assets with a fair value of $9.2 billion, including investment securities with a fair value of $2.8
billion, loans with a fair value of $5.1 billion, and we assumed deposits of $5.3 billion and
borrowings of $2.3 billion. Under the terms of the merger agreement, NewAlliance stockholders
received 94 million shares of Company common stock and cash consideration of $199 million.
On April 9, 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Harleysville National
Corporation (Harleysville), the parent company of Harleysville National Bank and Trust Company,
and thereby acquired Harleysville National Banks 83 branch locations in Eastern Pennsylvania. As
a result of the merger, we acquired assets with a fair value of $5.3 billion, including cash of
$1.1 billion and loans with a fair value of $2.6 billion, and we assumed deposits with a fair value
of $4.0 billion and borrowings with a fair value of $960 million. Under the terms of the merger
agreement, Harleysville stockholders received 20.3 million shares of First Niagara Financial Group,
Inc. common stock.
On July 30, 2011, First Niagara Bank,
N.A., entered into an Agreement with HSBC Bank USA, National
Association (HSBC) and affiliates
to acquire, after estimated divestitures, approximately $11.0 billion of deposit liabilities
and approximately $2.0 billion in loans in the Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse,
Albany, Downstate New York and Connecticut banking markets for a deposit premium of
6.67% (the Acquisition). At closing, the Bank will not receive any loans greater
than 60 days delinquent. The Bank will also acquire certain wealth management relationships,
and approximately $4.3 billion of assets under management of such relationships, of HSBC
Securities (USA) Inc. The Acquisition, which is expected to close in the first half of 2012, is
subject to receipt of all required governmental approvals, including anti-competition approvals
(or expirations of waiting periods).
BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
We operate as a community oriented bank that provides customers with a full range of products and
services. These products include commercial and residential real estate loans, commercial business
loans and leases, home equity and other consumer loans, wealth management products, as well as
various retail consumer and commercial deposit products. Additionally, we offer risk management
services through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank.
Our profitability is primarily dependent on the difference between the interest we receive on
loans and investment securities, and the interest we pay on deposits and borrowings. The rates we
earn on our assets and the rates we pay on our liabilities are a function of the general level of
interest rates and competition within our markets. This net interest spread is also sensitive to
conditions that are beyond our control, such as inflation, economic growth, and unemployment, as
well as policies of the federal government and its regulatory agencies. We manage our interest
rate risk as described in Item 3, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Federal Reserve implements national monetary policies (with objectives such as curbing
inflation and combating recession) through its open-market operations in U.S. Government
securities, by adjusting depository institutions reserve requirements, and by varying the target
federal funds and discount rates. The actions of the Federal Reserve in these areas may influence
the growth of our loans, investments, and deposits, and may also affect interest rates that we earn
on interest-earning assets and that we pay on interest-bearing liabilities.
MARKET AREAS AND COMPETITION
Our business operations are concentrated in Upstate New York, Pennsylvania, and beginning April 15,
2011, Connecticut and Western Massachusetts; therefore, our financial results are affected by
economic conditions in these geographic areas. If economic conditions in our markets deteriorate
or if we are unable to sustain our competitive posture, our ability to expand our business and the
quality of our loan portfolio could materially impact our financial results.
38
Table of Contents
Our primary lending and deposit gathering areas are generally concentrated in the same markets
as our branches. We face significant competition in both making loans and attracting deposits in
our markets as they have a high concentration of financial institutions, some of which are
significantly larger than we are and have greater financial resources. Our competition for loans
comes principally from other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage banking
companies, credit unions, and other financial services companies. Our most direct competition for
deposits has historically come from other commercial banks, savings banks, and credit unions. We
face additional competition for deposits from the mutual fund industry, internet banks, securities
and brokerage firms, and insurance companies. In these marketplaces, opportunities to grow and
expand are primarily a function of how we are able to differentiate our product offerings and
customer experience from our competitors.
REGULATORY REFORM
We continue to monitor the potential effects on our businesses of regulatory reform, including the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the revised capital and liquidity
frameworks published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in December 2010 and known as
Basel III. Regulatory Reform is discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2010 under Item 1, Business Supervision and Regulation, and Item 1A, Risk
Factors.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We evaluate those accounting policies and estimates that we judge to be critical: those most
important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, and that
require our most subjective and complex judgments. Accordingly, our accounting estimates relating
to the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, investment securities accounting, the accounting
treatment and valuation of our acquired loans, and the analysis of the carrying value of goodwill
for impairment are deemed to be critical, as our judgments could have a material effect on our
results of operations. Additional accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 in the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements presented in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. A
description of our current accounting policies involving significant management judgment follows:
Allowance for Loan Losses
We establish our allowance for loan losses through a provision for credit losses based on our
evaluation of the credit quality of our loan portfolio. This evaluation, which includes a review
of loans on which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured, considers, among other
matters, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical net
loan loss experience, and other factors that warrant recognition in determining our allowance for
loan losses. We continue to monitor and modify the level of our allowance for loan losses to
ensure it is adequate to cover losses inherent in our loan portfolio. In addition, various
regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our
allowance for loan losses.
We determined our allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment, which consist of commercial loans
and consumer loans. We further segregate these segments between loans which
are accounted for under the amortized cost method (referred to as legacy loans) and loans
acquired after January 1, 2009 (referred to as acquired loans), as acquired loans were originally
recorded at fair value with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses.
Our commercial loan portfolio segments include both business and commercial real estate loans. Our
consumer portfolio segments include residential real estate, home equity, and other consumer loans.
For our legacy loans, our allowance for loan losses consists of the following elements: (i)
specific valuation allowances based on probable losses on specifically identified impaired loans;
and (ii) valuation allowances based on net historical loan loss experience for similar loans with
similar characteristics and trends, adjusted, as appropriate, for risk factors specific to
respective loan types.
For our legacy loans, when current information and events indicate that it is probable that we will
be unable to collect all amounts of principal and interest due under the original terms of a
business or commercial real estate loan greater than $200 thousand, such loan will be classified as
impaired. Additionally, all loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) are considered
impaired. Specific valuation allowances are determined for all impaired loans. For impaired loans,
we consider the fair value of the underlying collateral, less estimated costs to sell, if
collateral dependent, or the present value of estimated future cash flows in determining the
estimates of impairment and any related allowance for loan losses for these loans. Prior to a loan
becoming impaired, we typically would obtain an appraisal through our internal loan grading process
to use as the basis for the fair value of the underlying collateral.
We estimate the inherent risk of loss on all other loans by portfolio segment based primarily on
our historical net loss experience, industry trends, trends in the local real estate market, and
the current business and economic environment in our market areas. During the first quarter of
2011, we refined our process used to estimate the allowance by increasing the granularity of the
historical net loss experience data utilized for both the consumer and commercial portfolio
segments. These changes enhance our estimates and provide an opportunity to better align our
allowance assumptions with the dynamic nature of our loan portfolio composition. We assessed the
impact of the changes and concluded that they did not have a significant impact when compared to
our estimates based on previous methodologies for either portfolio segment.
39
Table of Contents
Prior to the first quarter of 2011, we estimated a portion of the allowance for loan losses
within our commercial loan portfolio segment utilizing historical net charge-off rates that were
specific to the different loan types within the portfolio segment. As our commercial portfolio
continues to grow, we believe that our estimate of the allowance would be enhanced through
application of loss rates at a more granular level. Accordingly, we now estimate the allowance for
these loans considering its type and grade.
Prior to the first quarter, we estimated losses on our consumer loan portfolio segment utilizing
average loss rates for each loan type based on historical net charge-offs. The enhancement in the
first quarter provides further granularity by incorporating both loan type and delinquency rate
trends into our loss rates. The enhanced approach estimates the inherent loss in the current
portfolio based on their loan type and current delinquency status.
Acquired Loans
Loans that we acquire in acquisitions subsequent to January 1, 2009 are recorded at fair value
with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Determining the fair value of the
loans involves estimating the amount and timing of principal and interest cash flows expected to
be collected on the loans and discounting those cash flows at a market rate of interest.
The excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is referred to as
the accretable discount and is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the
loan. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows
expected to be collected at acquisition is referred to as the nonaccretable discount. The
nonaccretable discount represents estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the
life of the loan. Subsequent decreases to the expected cash flows require us to evaluate the need
for an allowance for loan losses. Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows result in the
reversal of a corresponding amount of the nonaccretable discount which we then reclassify as
accretable discount that is recognized into interest income over the remaining life of the loan
using the interest method. Our evaluation of the amount of future cash flows that we expect to
collect is performed in a similar manner as that used to determine our allowance for loan losses.
Charge-offs of the principal amount on acquired loans would be first applied to the nonaccretable
discount portion of the fair value adjustment.
Acquired loans that met the criteria for nonaccrual of interest prior to the acquisition may
be considered performing upon acquisition, regardless of whether the customer is contractually
delinquent, if we can reasonably estimate the timing and amount of the expected cash flows on such
loans and if we expect to fully collect the new carrying value of the loans. As such, we may no
longer consider the loan to be nonaccrual or nonperforming and may accrue interest on these loans,
including the impact of any accretable discount. We have determined that we can reasonably
estimate future cash flows on our current portfolio of acquired loans that are past due 90 days or
more and on which we are accruing interest and we expect to fully collect the carrying value of
the loans.
Investment Securities
As of June 30, 2011, our available for sale and held to maturity investment securities totaled
$11.2 billion, or 36% of our total assets. We use third party pricing services to value our
investment securities portfolio, which is comprised almost entirely of Level 2 fair value measured
securities. Fair value of our investment securities is based upon quoted market prices of
identical securities, where available. If such quoted prices are not available, fair value is
determined using valuation models that consider cash flow, security structure, and other
observable information. We review the prices received from these third parties, on a quarterly
basis, by comparing them to prices provided by a different independent pricing service. We have
also reviewed detailed valuation methodologies provided to us by our pricing services. We did not
adjust any of the prices provided to us by the independent pricing services at June 30, 2011 or
December 31, 2010. Where sufficient information is not available to the pricing services to
produce a reliable valuation, fair value is based on broker quotes.
We conduct a quarterly review and evaluation of our investment securities portfolio to determine
if any declines in fair value below amortized cost are other than temporary. In making this
determination we consider the following factors: the period of time the securities were in an
unrealized loss position, the percentage decline in fair value in comparison to the securities
amortized cost, credit rating, the financial condition of the issuer and guarantor, where
applicable, the delinquency or default rates of underlying collateral, credit enhancement,
projected losses, level of credit loss, and projected cash flows. Any valuation decline below
amortized cost that we determine to be other than temporary would require us to write down the
credit component of such unrealized loss through a charge to current period earnings. If we
intend to sell a security with a fair value below amortized cost or if it is more likely than not
that we will be required to sell such a security, we would record an other than temporary
impairment charge through current period earnings for the full decline in fair value below
amortized cost.
Our investment securities portfolio includes residential mortgage backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations. As the underlying collateral of each of these securities is
comprised of a large number of similar residential mortgage loans for which prepayments are
probable and the timing and amount of such prepayments can be reasonably estimated, we estimate
future principal prepayments of the underlying residential mortgage loans to determine the
constant effective yield used to apply the interest method.

Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment annually, as of November 1, using a two-step process that begins
with an estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit. Goodwill impairment exists when a
reporting units carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. Goodwill is also
tested for impairment on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change between
annual tests that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its
carrying amount. Significant judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. This
judgment includes developing cash flow projections, selecting appropriate discount rates,
identifying relevant market comparables, incorporating general economic and market conditions and
selecting an appropriate control premium. The selection and weighting of the various fair value
techniques may result in a higher or lower fair value. Judgment is applied in determining the
weightings that are most representative of fair value. The assumptions used in the goodwill
impairment assessment and the application of these estimates and assumptions are discussed below.
The first step (Step 1) of impairment testing requires a comparison of each reporting units fair
value to carrying value to identify potential impairment. We have two reporting units: banking
and financial services.
For our banking reporting unit, we utilize both the income and market approaches to determine fair
value. The income approach is based on discounted cash flows derived from assumptions of balance
sheet and income statement activity. For the market approach, earnings and tangible book value
multiples of comparable public companies are selected and applied to the Banking reporting units
applicable metrics.
For our financial services reporting unit, we utilize both the income and market approaches
to determine fair value. The income approach is primarily based on discounted cash flows derived
from assumptions of income statement activity. For the market approach, earnings multiples of
comparable companies are selected and applied to the financial services reporting units
applicable metrics.
The aggregate fair market values of these units are compared to our market capitalization as an
assessment of the appropriateness of the fair value measurements. A control premium analysis is
performed to determine whether the implied control premium was within range of overall control
premiums observed in the market place.
The second step (Step 2) of impairment testing is necessary only if a reporting units carrying
amount exceeds its fair value. Step 2 compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit
goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill for the reporting unit. The implied fair value
of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill that is recognized in a business
combination. Significant judgment and estimates are involved in estimating the fair value of the
assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $14 million, or $0.05 per
diluted common share, compared to $20 million, or $0.10 per diluted common share for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and $45 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share for the three months
ended March 31, 2011.
Our
financial results were significantly impacted by several events. Our
NewAlliance and Harleysville acquisitions were the primary drivers that resulted in after-tax merger and acquisition integration
expenses of $50 million, $4 million and $24 million in the quarters ended June 30, 2011, March 31,
2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. In connection with the New
Alliance acquisition, we issued 94 million
shares to NewAlliance shareholders on April 15, 2011. These shares caused a 37% increase in our
weighted average shares outstanding in the current quarter compared to the quarter ended March 31,
2011. Additionally, we recognized $8 million and $1 million in after-tax expenses in the current
quarter and in the quarter ended March 31, 2011, respectively, as we began to take certain measures
to restructure elements of our business to enhance our performance.
Excluding the impact of the
merger and acquisition integration expenses and the
restructuring charges, operating net income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to
$71 million, or $0.25 per diluted share compared to $45 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share
for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $50 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share for the
three months ended March 31, 2011. Operating income is a non-GAAP measure which provides a
meaningful comparison of our underlying operational performance and we believe facilitates
investors assessments of business and performance trends in comparison to others in the financial
services industry.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $58 million, or $0.24 per diluted
common share, compared to $49 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, for the six months ended
June 30, 2010. The 20% increase in net income and $0.01 decrease in diluted earnings per shares
reflects our larger franchise resulting from our April 2011 merger with NewAlliance and was
partially offset by the 26% increase in weighted average diluted shares due to the issuance of 94
million shares to NewAlliance shareholders. Excluding the impact of the merger and acquisition
integration expenses, operating net income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 amounted to $121
million, or $0.49 per diluted share compared to $78 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share for
the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Results for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011
were most significantly impacted by a $59 million increase in our taxable equivalent net interest
income driven by our expansion into New England and organic loan growth. Our average
interest-earning assets increased by $7.1 billion while our average interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $6.1 billion. Loans acquired from NewAlliance accounted for $4.3 billion of average
loan balances at June 30, 2011 while deposits assumed from NewAlliance accounted for $4.4 billion
of average deposit balances at June 30, 2011. Additionally, our net interest spread and our taxable
equivalent net interest margin each decreased by 15 basis points to 3.53% and 3.65%, respectively.
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 were
also significantly impacted by a $140 million increase in our taxable equivalent net interest
income as a result of our expansion into New England as well as organic loan growth. Our average
interest-earning assets increased by $7.4 billion, while our average interest-bearing liabilities
increased by $6.6 billion. Our organic loan commercial and home equity loan growth were partially
offset by a decrease in the residential loan portfolio due to ongoing consumer preference for
long-term fixed rate products, which we generally do not hold in our portfolio.
The provision for credit losses increased to $17 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011,
compared to $11 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and $13 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2011. Of this amount, $14 million related to loans and increased our allowance for loan
losses, and $3 million related to unfunded loan commitments and increased our liability for
unfunded loan commitments. Our net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 remained
unchanged from the quarter ended March 31, 2011 at $8 million and decreased from $10 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2010. However, nonaccruing loans increased to $83 million at June 30,
2011 compared to $80 million and $74 million at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
Noninterest income amounted to $61 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $46
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and $52 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
The increase from the second quarter of 2010 is primarily due to our merger with NewAlliance and
our insurance agency acquisitions during the second half of 2010. The increase in noninterest
income during the current quarter from the first quarter of 2011 also resulted from the merger with
NewAlliance while the majority of the increase in revenues from wealth management services has been
due to an increase in production in Eastern Pennsylvania. In addition, lower mortgage rates have
driven higher mortgage refinancing activity resulting in an increase in revenues from mortgage
banking. Insurance revenues increased modestly during the current quarter compared to the first
quarter of 2011 due to the seasonality of these revenues in the first quarter offset by the impact
of our April 2011 insurance agency acquisition in New England. Other noninterest income decreased
during the current quarter as capital markets revenue returned to a normalized level after an
exceptionally strong first quarter of 2011.
Noninterest income amounted to $113 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $83
million for the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily the result of our merger with
NewAlliance and our insurance agency acquisitions. However, the increase in revenues from wealth
management services has been due to a steady increase in activity in Eastern Pennsylvania.
Noninterest expense increased to $255 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from $158 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and $145 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The
increase from the second quarter of 2010 is primarily due to our merger with NewAlliance, our
insurance agency acquisitions, charges we incurred in restructuring certain
elements of our business to enhance our performance, and the build out of our infrastructure to
support the growth in our franchise. The increase in noninterest expense for the quarter ended
June 30, 2011 from the quarter ended March 31, 2011 is also primarily due to the impact of our
merger with NewAlliance, our insurance agency acquisition, and restructuring
charges.
Noninterest expense amounted to $400 million for the first half of 2011, compared to $251 million
for the first half of 2010. This increase was primarily the result of our merger with NewAlliance,
our insurance agency acquisitions, and restructuring charges.

Year
Over Year Changes
Our taxable equivalent net interest income increased $140 million, or 51%, for the first six
months of 2011 compared to the first six months of 2010. This increase resulted from a $7.4
billion, or 49%, increase in our average interest-earning assets, and a $6.6 billion, or 52%,
increase in our interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in average interest-earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to the NewAlliance merger, which we completed in the
second quarter of 2011. In addition to the results of the merger, our year over year increases are
the result of our focus on organic loan growth. Excluding the average balance of loans acquired
from NewAlliance of $4.3 billion, our average loan balance for the second quarter of 2011 was $10.8
billion, which was an increase of $1.0 billion or 10% over the same quarter in 2010. This increase
was concentrated in commercial lending, which increased $1.1 billion compared to the same quarter
of 2010, and home equity, which increased $136 million or 10%, compared to the same quarter of
2010. Offsetting these increases were a decrease of $198 million in residential real estate due to
ongoing consumer preference for long-term fixed rate products, which we generally do not hold in
our portfolio.
Quarter
Over Quarter Changes
Our taxable equivalent net interest income increased $59 million for the quarter ending June
30, 2011 compared to the quarter ending March 31, 2011. Our average interest earning assets
increased $7.1 billion and average interest bearing liabilities increased by $6.1 billion. The
increases were primarily attributable to our NewAlliance merger which closed in the second quarter
of 2011, which added $4.3 billion to our average loan balances
and $4.4 billion to our average
deposit balances in the second quarter. Our second quarter net interest rate spread and net
interest rate margin both decreased by 15 basis points from the first quarter of 2011.
Significant
changes in our average balances and yields from the first quarter of
2011 to
the second quarter of 2011 include:
| The increase in our average balance of investment securities of $2.4 billion was primariliy driven by our acquisition of NewAlliance in the second quarter, which accounted for $2.3 billion of the increase. The average yield on investment securities decreased from 3.83% in the first quarter of 2011 to 3.63%. This decrease was, in part, driven by the overall decrease in interest rates in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2011. Additionally, the decrease in yield also resulted from the composition of the securities acquired from NewAlliance, which, in comparison to our portfolio prior to acquisition, had a lower weighted average yield due to shorter durations and a higher proportion of securities backed by pools of adjustable rate mortgages. | ||
| In addition to the growth in our loan portfolio due to the acquisition of NewAlliance, our interest income continued to benefit from organic loan growth as well. Excluding the impact of our acquisition of NewAlliance, our average commercial loan portfolio increased by $293 million during the second quarter, or 17% on an annualized basis, as we continue to focus on growing our commercial portfolio through capitalizing on opportunities in our expanded footprint. The $293 million increase was comprised of $150 million in commercial real estate loans and $143 million in our commercial business loans. | ||
| Our average balance of residential real estate loans increased by $2.1 billion compared to the first quarter of 2011 driven by the average balance of residential real estate loans acquired from NewAlliance of $2.1 billion. The decrease in yield of 40 basis points was driven by both the decrease in overall interest rates in the second quarter of 2011 and the lower yield on the loans acquired from NewAlliance. | ||
| Our total interest rate on deposits remained flat with the incorporation of the deposits from our NewAlliance merger as rate decreases in certificates of deposits were offset by rate increases on savings and money market accounts. We continue to focus on achieving a more favorable deposit mix. Excluding the average balance of deposits acquired from NewAlliance, our core deposits grew 22% on an annualized basis compared to the first quarter of 2011. The growth was particularly focused in our money market accounts as they increased 36%, on an annualized basis, excluding deposits acquired from NewAlliance. Consistent with prior quarters, certificates of deposits decreased by 21% on an annual basis as our pricing strategy has remained focused on allowing the runoff of our highest paying certificates of deposit balances. | ||
| Our average total borrowings increased $2.0 billion since the first quarter resulting from the borrowings acquired in the NewAlliance merger as well as our continued use of wholesale funding to replace the runoff of our certificates of deposit balance discussed above. Our average rate on borrowings declined 20 basis points in the second quarter compared to the first quarter. The decrease in rate resulted from maturities of long-term borrowings at higher rates, which were replaced with borrowings at lower rates due to the current interest rate environment. |
Provision for Credit Losses
Our provision for credit losses attributable to loans is based upon our assessment of the adequacy
of our allowance for loan losses and our liability for unfunded loan commitments, with
consideration given to such interrelated factors as the composition of and credit risk in our loan
portfolio, the level of our nonaccruing and delinquent loans, and related collateral or government
guarantees, net charge-offs, and economic considerations. The provision for credit losses related
to loans amounted to $14 million, or 0.38% of average loans, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011,
compared to $13 million and $11 million, or 0.49% and 0.45% of average loans, for the quarters
ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Excluding average acquired loans, our
provision for credit losses related to loans as a percentage of average loans was 0.73% for the
second quarter of 2011, 0.64% for the first quarter of 2011 and 0.66% for the second quarter of
2010. These acquired loans were originally recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition, with
no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. Criticized loans of $1.3 billion at June 30,
2011 compared to $972 million at March 31, 2011. The increase in criticized loans of $282 million
was primarily attributed to the criticized loans acquired from
NewAlliance. Our net charge-offs of $8 million in the current
quarter were consistent with our net charge-offs in the first current
of 2011 and were slightly lower than the $10 million in net
charge-offs recorded in the second quarter of 2010.
Additionally our nonaccruing loans increased to $83 million at June 30, 2011 compared to $80
million and $74 million at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
In
addition to the provision for credit losses related to loans of $14
million, our provision for credit losses included $3 million for unfunded loan commitments. The
liability resulting from this provision is included in Other Liabilities in our Consolidated
Statement of Condition.

Noninterest income increased $15 million, or 32% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared
to the second quarter of 2010. The increases in revenues from banking services, mortgage banking,
lending and leasing, and other noninterest income were primarily attributable to our April 2011
merger with NewAlliance. The $4 million increase in insurance commissions is attributable to our
insurance agency acquisitions in Pennsylvania during 2010 and New England in 2011. A portion of
the increase in revenues from wealth management services was due to the NewAlliance merger but the
majority of the increase is due to increased activity in Eastern Pennsylvania.
The $9 million, or 17%, increase in noninterest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from the
quarter ended March 31, 2011 was primarily driven by our merger with NewAlliance. The modest
increase in insurance revenues reflects the impact of our April 2011 insurance agency acquisition
in New England offset by the seasonality of these revenues as renewals tend to be highest in the
first quarter of the year. In addition, a portion of the increase in revenues from mortgage
banking resulted from a decrease in mortgage rates driving an increase in mortgage banking
activity. A portion of the increase in revenues from wealth management services was due to the
NewAlliance merger but the majority of the increase is due to increased activity in Eastern
Pennsylvania where we have seen a steady increase in activity since our merger with Harleysville.
The decrease in other noninterest income is reflective of the decrease in capital markets revenue
to a normalized level after an exceptionally strong first quarter of 2011.

mortgage banking, lending and leasing, and other noninterest income were primarily attributable to
our April 2011 merger with NewAlliance. The almost $8 million increase in insurance commissions is
attributable to our insurance agency acquisitions in Pennsylvania during 2010 and New England in

Noninterest expenses increased $97 million, or 61%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2011,
compared to the second quarter of 2010, which was primarily attributable to merger and acquisition
integration expenses related to our April merger with NewAlliance, increased costs associated with the NewAlliance branches, our
insurance agency acquisitions, charges we incurred in restructuring certain
elements of our business, and the growth of our infrastructure. Salaries and benefits expenses
increased 41% as we experienced an increase in the number of full time equivalent employees, from
3,748 at June 30, 2010 to 4,751 at June 30, 2011. The increases in occupancy and equipment and
technology and communications resulted from the increase in our workforce during this time period
and from the 88 branches we acquired in our merger with NewAlliance. Marketing and advertising
decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010 due to the
timing of expenditures.
The $110 million, or 76%, increase in noninterest expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2011
compared to the first quarter of 2011 was also primarily due to our merger with NewAlliance, our
insurance agency acquisition, restructuring charges, and the continued growth of
our infrastructure. Salaries and benefits increased during the quarter ended June 30, 2011
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as a result of incremental salaries associated with
our merger with NewAlliance and insurance agency acquisition, as well as our infrastructure growth
as we continued to strengthen our leadership structure to support our increasing size.
Merger and acquisition integration expenses of $77 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011
were primarily attributable to our merger with NewAlliance. Severance costs comprised more than half of these expenses, which also
included charitable contributions, professional services, marketing and advertising, technology
and communications, occupancy and equipment, and other noninterest expenses. Merger
and acquisition integration expenses amounted to $36 million for the three months ended June 30,
2010 and were primarily attributable to our merger with Harleysville,
including a contribution to First Niagara Bank Foundation to support charitable giving in Eastern Pennsylvania
where the Harleysville branches are located. Merger and acquisition integration expenses amounted to $6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2011 and were primarily attributable to our merger with NewAlliance.

As a result of our recent acquisitions,
management has adjusted certain aspects of
our delivery channels and infrastructure. Specifically, we have adjusted the branch
network in Eastern Pennsylvania; consolidated certain back office
facilities; and restructured our
back office infrastructure and operations.
These efforts resulted in expenses of $11.7 million and $1.1 million in the quarters ended June 30,
2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. Concerning our plans to adjust our branch network, we
recognized $3.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and estimate the remaining pre-tax
impact of this initiative to be in the range of $15 million to $18 million. For our plans to exit
other acquired facilities, mostly in Eastern Pennsylvania, we recognized $2.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and we estimate the
remaining pre-tax impact of exiting these facilities to be in the range of $16 million to $20
million. Finally, for actions to restructure our back office services, we recognized
$5.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and we estimate the remaining pre-tax impact of
this to be in the range of $11 million to $14 million.
Our efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 87.6% compared to 64.5% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2011, and 78.8% for the same quarter in 2010 reflecting the increase in our noninterest
expenses as a result of our acquisitions, restructuring charges, and growth of
our infrastructure. Our operating efficiency ratio improved to 57.2% for the quarter ended June
30, 2011 from 61.3%, and 60.6% for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010,
respectively, reflecting our ability to grow organically and by acquisition in an efficient manner.

The 59% increase in noninterest expenses from the first half of 2010 to the first half of 2011
was primarily attributable to merger and acquisition integration expenses related to our April
merger with NewAlliance, restructuring charges, and our infrastructure growth. Salaries and benefits increased $52
million, or 46%, as a result of the incremental salaries associated with the NewAlliance merger as
well as the continued growth of our supporting infrastructure, reflecting the 27% increase in the
number of full-time employees from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011.

respectively. Our operating efficiency ratio improved to 59.0% for the six months ended June 30,
2011, from 59.3% for the same period in 2010, reflecting our ability to grow organically and by
acquisition in an efficient manner.

Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate of 28.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased from 32.8% and
36.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Our effective tax
rate for the six months ended June 30, 2011 decreased to 31.8% compared to 36.0% for the same
period in the prior year. The decrease in the rates is primarily due to lower pre-tax income as a
result of higher expense levels attributable to our merger activity and the
restructuring charges, coupled with a $1.1 million reversal of a liability related to
uncertain tax positions taken in prior years. The projected tax rate for 2011 is estimated to be
approximately 33%.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT JUNE 30, 2011
Overview
On April 15, 2011, we completed our acquisition of NewAlliance and the results of the merger are
included in our consolidated statement of financial condition at June 30, 2011. The merger
significantly impacted our balance sheet as can be seen through our comparison to the previous
quarter presented below. Total assets increased $9.5 billion to $30.9 billion at June 30, 2011 from
$21.4 billion at March 31, 2011 primarily attributable to our acquisition of $9.2 billion in total
assets from NewAlliance in the second quarter. To provide perspective on the impact of our
acquisition in our consolidated statement of financial condition, the table below details the
balances acquired from NewAlliance in the second quarter and the balances at June 30, 2011
excluding the acquired balances as well as a comparison of the balances excluding NewAlliance to
our consolidated balances as of March 31, 2011 (amounts in millions):

Excluding the impact of balances acquired from NewAlliance from our June 30, 2011 ending
balances, we noted the following trends:
| Our ending loan balances at June 30, 2011 increased $345 million, or 13% annualized, to $11.1 billion from $10.7 billion at March 31, 2011. The increase represents organic growth driven by our focus on our commercial lending efforts as seen in the $324 million increase in total commercial loans, or 18% on an annualized basis. | ||
| The growth in deposits from NewAlliance was complemented by an increase of $569 million in money market deposits in our upstate New York, Eastern Pennsylvania and Western Pennsylvania markets. Our certificates of deposit decreased $266 million, reflecting our strategy not to renew maturing certificates. | ||
| In addition to our assumption of $2.3 billion in borrowings from the NewAlliance acquisition, total borrowings increased by $398 million as we continued to increase our use of wholesale funding. |

Lending Activities
Our primary lending activity is the origination of commercial real estate and business loans, as
well as residential mortgage and home equity loans to customers located within our primary market
areas. Our commercial real estate and business loan portfolios provide opportunities to cross sell
other banking services. Consistent with our long-term customer relationship focus, we retain the
servicing rights on residential mortgage loans that we sell resulting in monthly servicing fee
income to us. We also originate and retain in our lending portfolio various types of home equity
and consumer loan products given their customer relationship building benefits.

Our period over period results excluding NewAlliance display the strong organic growth in our
commercial lending activities. Our commercial loan portfolio increased $259 million, or 12%
annualized, in Upstate New York, $218 million, or 38% annualized, in Western Pennsylvania, and $78
million, or 11% annualized, in Eastern Pennsylvania during the first six months of 2011, as a
result of our continued strategic focus on the portfolio. Our total average commercial loan
portfolio, excluding the loans acquired from NewAlliance increased 17% annualized during the second
quarter. This increase was concentrated in both commercial real estate loans and business loans.
Commercial business loans for Western Pennsylvania include loans associated with our Capital Markets
business of $280 million and $182 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
New commercial loans, including line of credit advances, increased to $1.8 billion in Upstate New
York during the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $1.3 billion during the same period in 2010.
New commercial loans, including line of credit advances, totaled $896 million in Western
Pennsylvania for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $710 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010. New commercial loans, including line of credit advances, totaled $477 million
in Eastern Pennsylvania for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
While we originated $575 million in new residential real estate loans during the first six months
of 2011, our residential real estate loan portfolio remained
relatively flat with a $10 million
increase excluding the loans acquired from NewAlliance as ongoing consumer preference is for
long-term fixed rate products which we generally do not hold in our portfolio.
Excluding the loans acquired from NewAlliance, our home equity and other consumer loan portfolios
decreased during the first six months of the year with a combined decrease of $7 million.
Investment Securities Portfolio
In the discussion of our investment portfolio below, we have included certain credit rating
information because the information indicates the degree of credit risk to which we are exposed,
and significant changes in ratings classifications for our investment portfolio, could result in
increased risk for us.
Our investment securities portfolio increased $2.8 billion to $11.2 billion at June 30, 2011 as a
result of the investment securities we acquired in our merger with NewAlliance. As of June 30,
2011, 99% of the fair value of our investment securities portfolio was rated A- or higher. During
the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we transferred $2.0 billion of securities from our available for
sale portfolio to our held to maturity portfolio as we determined that we have the intent and
ability to hold these securities to maturity, resulting in total securities classified as held to
maturity of $3.0 billion. The transferred securities were primarily mortgage-backed securities and
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) issued by the Government National Mortgage Association
(GNMA) and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and had net unrealized gains, net of
tax, of $4 million on the date of transfer, which is amortized over the remaining life of the
related securities as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of the
premium on the same transferred debt securities.

Table of Contents
Our available for sale securities portfolio is primarily invested in residential
mortgage-backed securities, which comprised 75% and 85% of our total available for sale portfolio
at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
98% of our residential mortgage backed securities were issued by GNMA, FNMA, or FHLMC. GNMA, FNMA,
and FHLMC guarantee the contractual cash flows of these investments. FNMA and FHLMC are government
sponsored enterprises that are under the conservatorship of the U.S. government. Our GNMA
mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Our
non-agency CMO portfolio consists primarily of investment grade securities. All of our non-agency
CMOs carry various amounts of credit enhancement and none are collateralized with loans that were
considered to be sub-prime at origination. While the markets for this asset class have been less
active than for agency CMOs, the markets have been more active for securities that possess strong
credit characteristics such as those securities in our portfolio, providing observable inputs for
our valuation and liquidity should the need to sell arise.
Our investment securities available for sale portfolio remains well positioned to provide a stable
source of cash flow. The duration of our securities available for sale increased to 3.95 years at
June 30, 2011 from 3.73 years at December 31, 2010 as a result of an increase in yield volatility
and an increase in the weighted average life of our portfolio caused by slowing prepayments in our
mortgage-backed securities portfolio, which, in turn, extends the life of the bonds.
At June 30, 2011, the pre-tax net unrealized gains on our available for sale investment securities
increased to $166 million from $114 million at December 31, 2010. The unrealized gain represents
the difference between the estimated fair value and the amortized cost of our securities.
Generally, the value of our investment securities fluctuates in response to changes in market
interest rates, changes in credit spreads, or levels of liquidity in the market. Interest rates
have decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, thereby causing the fair values of our fixed
rate securities to increase.
Our investment in FHLB stock consists of $89 million, $27 million, and $121 million of FHLB of New
York common stock, FHLB of Pittsburgh common stock, and FHLB of Boston, respectively, at June 30,
2011 and $86 million and $30 million of FHLB of New York common stock and FHLB of Pittsburgh common
stock, at December 31, 2010, respectively. Our investment in Federal Reserve Bank of New York
stock amounted to $68 million at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

At June 30, 2011, our total deposits increased $5.8 billion from December 31, 2010, and core
deposits have increased to 76% of total deposits. While the balance increases are largely a factor
of our NewAlliance merger in the second quarter, our upstate New York, Western Pennsylvania, and
Eastern Pennsylvania markets have also contributed to the growth. Excluding balances in our New
England region, money market deposit accounts have increased across our footprint by $827 million,
or 34% annualized, during the first six months of 2011 due primarily to our strategy to attract
runoff from certificates of deposits into money market accounts, coupled with our participation in
a program whereby we receive money market deposits through a financial intermediary. Municipal
deposits, predominantly consisting of money market deposits, increased $197 million from $1.4
billion at December 31, 2010 to $1.6 billion at June 30, 2011.
Borrowings
Borrowings increased to $7.6 billion at June 30, 2011, including $2.3 billion assumed from our
NewAlliance merger in the second quarter. Short term borrowings decreased by $322 million from
December 31, 2010 to $1.5 billion, which was offset by an increase of $3.0 billion in long term
borrowings during that same period to $6.1 billion as we worked to achieve a more favorable cost of
funds. Wholesale borrowings were used to fund the run off of certificates and provide an
additional funding source for loans, which helped us to effectively manage our borrowing costs.
Capital
During the first six months of 2011, our stockholders equity increased $1.2 billion to $4.0
billion at June 30, 2011 from $2.8 billion at December 31, 2010 as a result of our merger with
NewAlliance, whereby we issued 94 million common shares with a value of $1.3 billion. Other
contributing factors included net income of $58 million and $36 million in net unrealized gains,
net of taxes, on our securities available for sale arising during the six months ended June 30,
2011. These amounts were offset by $121 million in treasury stock purchases and common stock
dividends of $81 million, or $0.32 per share.
At June 30, 2011, we held almost 14 million shares of our common stock as treasury shares. During
the first six months of 2011, we repurchased 8.7 million shares of our common stock at an average
price of $13.98 per share and we currently have authorization from our Board of Directors to
repurchase an additional 12 million shares as part of our capital management initiatives. We
repurchased 0.4 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $13.04 during the month
of July 2011. We issued 0.8 million shares from treasury stock in connection with the exercise of
stock options and grants of restricted stock awards during the first six months of 2011. Although
treasury stock purchases are an important component of our capital management strategy, the extent
to which we repurchase shares in the future will depend on a number of factors including the market
price of our stock and alternative uses for our capital.
First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. and our bank subsidiary, First Niagara Bank, N.A., are subject
to regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve and OCC, respectively.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on our
financial statements.

As of June 30, 2011, we met all capital adequacy requirements to which we were subject and both
First Niagara Financial Group, Inc. and First Niagara Bank, N.A. were considered well-capitalized
under the prompt corrective action regulations.
Our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders is substantially dependent upon the ability of the
Bank to pay dividends to the Company. Subject to First Niagara Bank, N.A. meeting or exceeding
regulatory capital requirements, the prior approval of the OCC is required if the total of all
dividends declared by First Niagara Bank, N.A. in any calendar year would exceed the sum of the
Banks net profits for that year and its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years,
less any required transfers to surplus. Federal law also prohibits the Bank from paying dividends
that would be greater than its undivided profits after deducting statutory bad debt in excess of
its allowance for loan losses. Under the foregoing dividend restrictions, and while maintaining its
well-capitalized status, First Niagara Bank, N.A. could pay aggregate dividends of approximately
$241 million to the Company, without obtaining affirmative regulatory approvals, as of June 30,
2011.
We manage our capital position to ensure that our capital base is sufficient to support our current
and future business needs, satisfy existing regulatory requirements, and meet appropriate standards
of safety and soundness.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Credit Risk
Allowance for Loan Losses and Nonperforming Assets
Credit risk is the risk associated with the potential inability of our borrowers to repay their
loans according to contractual terms. This inability to repay could result in higher levels of
nonperforming assets and credit losses, which could potentially reduce our earnings.
The primary indicators of credit quality are our internal loan gradings for our commercial loan
portfolio segment and current FICO scores for our consumer loan portfolio segment. We place legacy
loans on nonaccrual status when they become more than 90 days past due, or earlier if we do not
expect the full collection of interest or principal. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
any interest previously accrued and not collected is reversed from interest income.
Our evaluation of our allowance for loan losses is based on a continuous review of our loan
portfolio. The methodology that we use for determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses
consists of several elements. We use an internal loan grading system with eight categories of loan
grades used in evaluating our business and commercial real estate loans. In our loan grading
system, pass loans are graded 1 through 4, special mention loans are graded 5, substandard loans
are graded 6, doubtful loans are graded 7 and loss loans (which are fully charged off) are graded
8. Our definition of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss are consistent with
regulatory definitions.
In the normal course of our loan monitoring process, we review all pass graded individual
commercial and commercial real estate loans and/or total loan concentration to one borrower greater
than $500 thousand and less than $1 million no less frequently than every 36 months and those loans
over $1 million no less frequently than every 18 months.
As part of our credit monitoring process, our loan officers perform formal reviews based upon the
credit attributes of the respective loans. Pass graded loans are continually monitored through our
review of current information related to each loan. The nature of the current information
available and used by us includes, as applicable, review of payment status and delinquency
reporting, receipt and analysis of interim and annual financial statements, rent roll data,
delinquent property tax searches, periodic loan officer inspections of properties, and loan officer
knowledge of their borrowers, as well as the business environment in their respective market areas.
We perform a formal review on a more frequent basis if the above considerations indicate that such
review is warranted. Further, based upon consideration of the above information, if appropriate,
loan grading can be reevaluated prior to the scheduled full review.
58
Table of Contents
Substandard loans, including all impaired business and commercial real estate loans greater
than $200 thousand, are reviewed on a quarterly basis by either managements Classified Loan Review
Committee (for such loans greater than $1 million) or by a Senior Credit Manager (for such loans
between $200 thousand and $1 million). Such review considers, as applicable, current payment
status, payment history, charge-off amounts, collateral valuation information (including appraisal
dates), and commentary on collateral valuations, guarantor information, interim financial data,
cash flow historical data and projections, rent roll data, and account history. Similar
information is also reviewed for all special mention loans greater than $250 thousand and
substandard or worse loans greater than $200 thousand and less than $1 million by a Senior Credit
Manager. Loans below these thresholds are reviewed by a loan officer on a quarterly basis ensuring
that loan gradings are appropriate.
Real estate collateral supporting substandard loans greater than $500 thousand are required to have
an appraisal or evaluation performed at least every 18 months and real estate collateral supporting
substandard loans less than $500 thousand are required to have an appraisal or an evaluation
performed at least every 24 months. However, a more current appraisal is obtained prior to these
required time frames when it is determined to be appropriate in the judgment of management.
Non-real estate collateral is reappraised on an as-needed basis, as determined by the loan officer,
our Classified Loan Review Committee, or by credit risk management based upon the facts and
circumstances of the individual relationship.
Among other factors, our quarterly reviews consist of an assessment of the fair value of collateral
for all loans reviewed, including collateral dependent impaired loans. During this review process,
an internal estimate of collateral value, as of each quarterly review date, is determined utilizing
current information such as comparables from more current appraisals in our possession for similar
collateral in our portfolio, recent sale information, current rent rolls, operating statements and
cash flow information for the specific collateral. Further, we have a Member of the Appraisal
Institute (MAI) appraiser available on staff for consultation during our quarterly estimation of
collateral fair value. This current information is compared to the assumptions made in the most
recent appraisal as well as in previous quarters. Quarterly adjustments to the estimated fair
value of the collateral are made as determined necessary in the judgment of our experienced senior
credit officers to reflect current market conditions and current operating results for the specific
collateral. Adjustments are made each quarter to the related allowance for loan losses for
collateral dependent impaired loans to reflect the change, if any, in the estimated fair value of
the collateral less estimated costs to sell as compared to the previous quarter. The determination
of the appropriateness of obtaining new appraisals is also specifically addressed in each quarterly
review. New appraisals will be obtained prior to the above noted required time frames if it is
determined appropriate during these quarterly reviews. Further, our MAI appraiser is available for
consultation regarding the need for new appraisals.
In addition to the credit monitoring procedures described above, our loan review department, which
is independent of the lending function and is part of our risk management function, verifies the
accuracy of loan grading, classification, and, if impaired, related allowance for loan losses.

As of June 30, 2011, we expect to fully collect the carrying value of our acquired
loans and have determined that we can reasonably estimate their future cash flows including
those loans that are 90 days or more past due. As a result, we do not consider our acquired loans
that are 90 days or more past due to be nonaccrual or nonperforming and continue to recognize
interest income on these loans, including the impact of the loans accretable discount. Our nonaccruing

As part of our evaluation of the fair value of our acquired loans at time of acquisition, we
established a credit mark to provide for losses in our acquired loan portfolio. To the extent that
credit quality deteriorates subsequent to acquisition, such deterioration would result in the
establishment of an allowance for loan losses. Our credit mark, which represents the remaining
principal balance on acquired loans that we do not expect to collect, was $267 million and $122
million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These loans continue to perform in
line with our expectations at acquisition and as a result there was no allowance for loan losses
associated with our acquired loan portfolio at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010. We maintain an
allowance for loan losses for our legacy portfolio segment, which is heavily concentrated in the
Upstate New York region. Although the economy in Upstate New York weathered the deteriorating
credit conditions well in comparison to other geographic areas, a slower real estate market finally
permeated the region during 2010, which resulted in increases throughout 2010 in both our
nonaccruing loans and net charge-offs. During the second quarter, our credit quality remained
largely the same as that of the first quarter with slight decreases in our net charge-offs as well
as slight increases in our nonaccruing loans. Our allowance for loan losses increased $12 million
from December 31, 2010 to $107 million at June 30, 2011 as our provision for loan losses of $14
million exceeded our net charge-offs of $8 million. The ratio of our allowance for loan losses to
total loans of 0.66% at June 30, 2011 decreased compared to 0.91% at December 31, 2010, primarily
due to the acquisition of loans from our NewAlliance merger in the second quarter which were
recorded at fair value and do not have a carryover allowance. Excluding acquired loans, our ratio
of our allowance for loan losses to loans was 1.20% at June 30, 2011 and 1.21% at December 31,
2010.
66
Table of Contents
Challenges remain in the credit environment but second quarter results remain in line with the
improvement seen in the first quarter. Excluding our acquired loans, our annualized net charge-off
ratio was 0.38% for the second quarter of 2011 compared to 0.41% and 0.67% for the quarters ending
March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Our nonaccruing loans were 0.51% of total
loans at June 30, 2011 compared to 0.75% at March 31, 2011 and 0.85% at December 31, 2010,
primarily due to the increase in total loans from the NewAlliance merger.
Our aggregate recorded investment in impaired loans modified through troubled debt restructurings
(TDRs) decreased to $51 million at June 30, 2011 from $55 million at December 31, 2010. Of these
balances, $19 million and $22 million were accruing interest at June 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010, respectively. The modifications made to these restructured loans typically consist of an
extension of the payment terms or providing for a period with interest-only payments with deferred
principal payments paid during the remainder of the term. These modifications were considered to
be concessions provided to the respective borrower due to the borrowers financial distress. We
accrue interest on a TDR once the borrower has demonstrated the ability to perform in accordance
with the restructured terms for six consecutive payments.
Certain pass-graded commercial loans may have repayment dates extended at or near original
maturity dates in the normal course of business. When such extensions are considered to be
concessions and provided as a result of the financial distress of the borrower, these loans are
classified as TDRs and considered to be impaired. However, if such extensions or other
modifications at or near the original maturity date or at any time during the life of a loan are
not made as a result of financial distress related to the borrower, such a loan would not be
classified as a TDR or as an impaired loan. Repayment extensions typically provided in a TDR are
for periods of greater than six months. When providing loan modifications because of the financial
distress of the borrowers, we consider that, after the modification, the borrower would be in a
better position to continue with the payment of principal and interest. While such loans may be
collateralized, they are not typically considered to be collateral dependent.
Residential Mortgage Banking
We often originate and sell residential mortgage loans with servicing retained. Our loan sales
activity is generally conducted through loan sales in a secondary market sponsored by FNMA and
FHLMC. Subsequent to the sale of mortgage loans, we do not typically retain any interest in the
underlying loans except through our relationship as the servicer of the loans.
As is customary in the mortgage banking industry, we, or banks we have acquired, have made certain
representations and warranties related to the sale of residential mortgage loans and to the
performance of our obligations as servicer. The breach of any such representations or warranties
could result in losses for us. Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to the outstanding principal
balance of the sold loans; however, any loss would be reduced by any payments received on the loans
or through the sale of collateral. At June 30, 2011, our liability for repuchase obligations on
our serviced loan portfolio was $5 million compared to
$4 million at December 31, 2010 and is included in other
liabilities in our Consolidated Statements of Condition.
The delinquencies in our serviced loan portfolio were as follows at the dates indicated:
June 30, 2011 | December 31, 2010 | |||||||
30 to 59 days past due |
0.72 | % | 0.66 | % | ||||
60 to 89 days past due |
0.32 | % | 0.26 | % | ||||
Greater than 90 days past due |
0.67 | % | 0.48 | % | ||||
Total past due loans |
1.71 | % | 1.40 | % | ||||
Investments
We have assessed our securities that were in an unrealized loss position at June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010 and determined that any decline in fair value below amortized cost was temporary.
In making this determination we considered the following factors: the period of time the
securities were in an unrealized loss position, the percentage decline in comparison to the
securities amortized cost, credit rating, the financial condition of the issuer and guarantor,
where applicable, the delinquency or default rates of underlying collateral, credit enhancement,
projected losses, levels of credit loss, and projected cash flows. We also do not intend to sell
these securities and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these
securities before the recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from our inability to meet our
obligations as they come due. Liquidity risk arises from our failure to recognize or address
changes in market conditions that affect the ability to liquidate assets quickly or to obtain
adequate funding to continue to operate profitably.
Liquidity refers to our ability to obtain cash, or to convert assets into cash timely, efficiently,
and economically. Our Asset and Liability Committee establishes procedures, guidelines and limits
for managing and monitoring our liquidity to ensure we maintain adequate liquidity at all times.
We manage our liquidity to ensure that we have sufficient cash to:
| Support our operating activities, |
| Meet increases in demand for loans and other assets, and |
| Provide for repayments of deposits and borrowings. |
67
Table of Contents
Factors or conditions that could affect our liquidity management objectives include changes in
the mix of assets and liabilities on our balance sheet; our investment, loan, and deposit balances;
our reputation; and our credit rating. A significant change in our financial performance or credit
rating could reduce the availability, or increase the cost, of funding from the national markets.
To date, we have not seen any negative impact in availability of funding as a result of the broader
credit and liquidity issues being seen elsewhere.
Sources of liquidity
We obtain our liquidity from multiple sources, including gathering deposit balances, cash generated
by principal and interest payments we receive from our investment and loan portfolios, short and
long-term borrowings, as well as purchasing short-term federal funds, internally generated capital,
and other credit facilities. The primary sources of our non-deposit borrowings are repurchase
agreements and FHLB advances, of which we had $2.9 billion and $3.6 billion outstanding at June 30,
2011, respectively.
Cash, interest-bearing demand accounts at correspondent banks and brokerage houses, federal funds
sold, and short-term money market investments are our most liquid assets. The levels of those
assets are monitored daily and are dependent on operating, financing, lending, and investing
activities during any given period. Excess short-term liquidity is usually invested in overnight
federal funds sold. In the event that funds beyond those generated internally are required due to
higher than expected loan demand, deposit outflows, or the amount of debt maturing, additional
sources of funds are available through the use of FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, the sale of
loans or investments, or the use of our lines of credit.
We have a total borrowing capacity of up to $11.0 billion from various funding sources which
include the FHLB, Federal Reserve Bank, and commercial banks that we can use to fund lending
activities, liquidity needs, and/or to adjust and manage our asset and liability position, of which
$4.5 billion was available as of June 30, 2011.
Uses of liquidity
The primary uses of our liquidity are to support our operating activities, fund loans or obtain
other assets, and provide for repayments of deposits and borrowings.
In the ordinary course of business, we extend commitments to originate commercial and residential
mortgages, commercial loans, and other consumer loans. Commitments to extend credit are agreements
to lend to a customer as long as conditions established under the contract are not violated. Our
commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses, and may require our
customer to pay us a fee. Since we do not expect all of our commitments to be funded, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent our future cash requirements. We evaluate each
customers creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. We may obtain collateral based upon our
assessment of the customers creditworthiness. We may write a commitment to extend credit on a
fixed rate basis exposing us to interest rate risk given the possibility that market rates may
change between the commitment date and the actual extension of credit. At June 30, 2011, we had
outstanding unfunded commitments to originate residential real estate, commercial real estate and
business, and consumer loans of approximately $4.7 billion.
Included in these commitments are lines of credit to both consumer and commercial customers. The
borrowers are able to draw on these lines as needed, making our funding requirements generally
difficult to predict. Our credit risk involved in issuing these commitments is essentially the
same as that involved in extending loans to customers and is limited to the total amount of these
instruments. Unused commercial lines of credit amounted to $2.6 billion at June 30, 2011 and
generally have an expiration period of less than one year. Home equity and other consumer unused
lines of credit totaled $1.5 billion at June 30, 2011 and have an expiration period of up to ten
years.
In addition to the commitments discussed above, we issue standby letters of credit to third
parties that guarantee payments on behalf of our commercial customers in the event the customer
fails to perform under the terms of the contract between our customer and the third party. Standby
letters of credit amounted to $267 million at June 30, 2011 and generally have an expiration period
of less than two years. Since the majority of our unused lines of credit and outstanding standby
letters of credit expire without being fully funded, our actual funding requirements are likely to
be substantially less than the amounts above. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds
available to meet our current loan commitments and other obligations through our normal business
operations. The credit risk involved in the issuance of these commitments is essentially the same
as that involved in extending loans to customers and is limited to the contractual notional amount
of those instruments.
Given the current interest rate environment and current customer preference for long-term fixed
rate mortgages, coupled with our desire to not hold these assets in our portfolio, we generally
sell newly originated fixed rate conventional 20 to 30 year and most FHA and VA loans in the
secondary market to government sponsored enterprises such as FNMA and FHLMC or to wholesale
lenders. We generally retain the servicing rates on residential mortgage loans sold which results
in monthly service fee income. We were committed to sell $160 million in residential mortgages at
June 30, 2011.

Loan Maturity and Repricing Schedule
The following table sets forth certain information at June 30, 2011 regarding the amount of loans
maturing or repricing in our portfolio. Demand loans having no stated schedule of repayment and no
stated maturity are reported as due in one year or less. Adjustable-rate loans are included in the
period in which interest rates are next scheduled to adjust rather than the period in which they
contractually mature, and fixed-rate loans (including bi-weekly loans) are included in the period
in which contractual payments are due. No adjustments have been made for prepayment of principal

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans, the purchase of investment
securities, and the acquisition of banking and financial services companies.
Interest Rate and Market Risk
Our primary market risk is interest rate risk, which is defined as the potential variability of our
earnings that arises from changes and volatility in market interest rates. Changes in market
interest rates, whether they are increases or decreases, and the pace at which the changes occur
can trigger repricings and changes in the pace of payments, which individually or in combination
may affect our net income, net interest income and net interest margin, either positively or
negatively.
Most of the yields on our earning assets, including floating-rate loans and investments, and the
rates we pay on interest-bearing deposits and liabilities are related to market interest rates.
Interest rate risk occurs when the interest income (yields) we earn on our assets changes at a pace
that differs from the interest expense (rates) we pay on liabilities.
The primary tool we use to assess our exposure to interest rate risk is a computer modeling
technique that simulates the effects of variations in interest rates on net interest income. These
simulations, which we conduct at least quarterly, compare multiple hypothetical interest rate
scenarios to a stable or current interest rate environment. As a result of these simulations, we
take actions to limit the variability on our net interest income due to changes in interest rates.
Such actions include: (1) employing interest rate swaps (2) emphasizing the origination and
retention of residential and commercial adjustable-rate loans, home equity loans, and residential
fixed-rate mortgage loans having contractual maturities of no more than 20 years; (3) selling the
majority of 30 year fixed-rate, residential mortgage loans into the secondary market without
recourse; (4) investing in securities with strong cash flows which position us for increases in
market interest rates; (5) growing core deposits; and (6) utilizing wholesale borrowings to support
cash flow needs and help match asset repricing.
Our Asset and Liability Committee monitors our sensitivity to interest rates and approves
strategies to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. Our goal is to maximize the growth of net
interest income on a consistent basis by minimizing the effects of fluctuations associated with
changing market interest rates.
69
Table of Contents
The following table shows the estimated impact on net interest income for the next 12 months
resulting from potential changes in interest rates. The calculated changes assume a gradual
parallel shift across the yield curve over the next 12 months. These estimates require us to make
certain assumptions including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment
rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as
a result, we cannot precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest
income. Actual results may differ significantly due to timing, magnitude, and frequency of
interest rate changes and changes in market conditions (amounts in thousands):

(1) | The Federal Reserve benchmark overnight federal funds rate was 0.25% at both June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, therefore, the calculation of the effect of a decrease in interest rates is not measurable. | |
(2) | Our Board of Directors has established a policy limiting the adverse change to net interest income to less than 5% under this scenario. |
Impact of New Accounting Standards
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) released new guidance to converge the fair value
measurement guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with that of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS). The amendment provides both clarifying guidance regarding the FASBs intent about the
application of existing requirements as well as changes in certain principles or requirements. This guidance will become
effective for us on January 1, 2012. While the amendments will expand our disclosures regarding our fair value
measurements, we do not expect it to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In May 2011, the FASB released an amendment to change the format in which entities report comprehensive income in their
financial statements. Under the new guidance, entities have the option to present total comprehensive income, the components
of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or two separate but
consecutive statements. This guidance will become effective for us on January 1, 2012. We do not expect it to have a
significant impact on our financial statements.
In April 2011, the FASB released new guidance to
develop consistent standards for creditors to use in their determination of whether a loan
modification represents a troubled debt restructuring. Specifically, creditors are precluded from
utilizing the borrowers effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession is granted and
clarifies the guidance for determining if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In
particular, it specifies that a borrower that is not in default may still be considered to be
experiencing financial difficulty. This guidance will become effective for us in the third quarter
and applied retrospectively to the beginning of 2011. We are still assessing the impact of this
standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Also in April 2011, the FASB released amended guidance to improve the accounting for repurchase
transactions by amending the effective control criteria for transactions involving repurchase
agreements and other agreements that both entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem
financial assets before their maturity. The revised guidance removes the criterion requiring a
transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the
agreed terms, even in default by a transferee, from the assessment of effective control. As a
result, the level of cash collateral received by the transferor in a repo or other similar
agreement is no longer relevant in determining if a transfer should be accounted for as a sale.
This guidance is to be applied prospectively upon adoption and will become effective for us in the
first quarter of 2012. We do not expect the amended guidance to have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
A discussion regarding our management of market risk is included in the section entitled Interest
Rate and Market Risk included within Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.
ITEM 4. | Controls and Procedures |
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation as of June 30,
2011 under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal
Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30,
2011.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, there have been no changes in our internal controls over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | Legal Proceedings |
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various threatened and pending legal
proceedings. We believe that we are not a party to any pending legal, arbitration, or regulatory
proceedings that would have a material adverse impact on our financial results or liquidity.
Certain legal proceedings in which we are involved are described below:
In late August and September 2010, following the announcement of the Companys merger with
NewAlliance, ten purported class actions were filed in Connecticut Superior Court and in the
Delaware Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, naming NewAlliance, the Company, and
NewAlliances directors as defendants. Certain of these actions also name FNFG Merger Sub, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain NewAlliance officers as defendants. These
actions alleged, among other things, that NewAlliances directors breached their fiduciary duties
to NewAlliance stockholders by failing to maximize stockholder value in approving the merger
agreement with the Company and by providing incomplete disclosures to stockholders in advance of
their upcoming vote whether to approve the merger. The actions further alleged that NewAlliance
and the Company aided and abetted these alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. These actions sought
to enjoin the merger on the agreed upon terms and also sought attorneys and experts fees.
On November 5, 2010, the plaintiffs in both actions advised NewAlliance that they had agreed to
stay the Delaware actions and proceed in the Connecticut actions alone. After expedited discovery
was conducted, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding in which the Company and
NewAlliance denied that they committed any of the wrongful acts alleged in the complaints, but
agreed to amend the disclosures to stockholders in advance of the vote whether to approve the
merger. A hearing on whether the settlement should be approved has been scheduled for August 22,
2011.
