Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 27, 2011, Valley National Bancorp (“Valley”) issued a press release reporting 2011 third quarter results of operations.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Valley’s financial results, the impact of such non-GAAP financial measures on Valley’s operating results and financial condition.
