Announces Record Net Income for Third Quarter 2011
Net Income up 25% over Third Quarter 2010
ROCKVILLE, Conn., October 31, 2011 Rockville Financial, Inc. (the Company) (NASDAQ Global
Select Stock Market: RCKB), the holding company for Rockville Bank (the Bank), today announced
third quarter 2011 net income of $4.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to third
quarter 2010 net income of $3.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. This increase resulted from
continued organic growth during the third quarter 2011, together with the Companys previously
communicated balance sheet restructure.

Operating Results
The Company reported record quarterly net income of $4.1 million for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2011, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.12
per diluted share, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. Increased net income for
the third quarter 2011 included a $1.8 million, or 31.8%, decline in interest expense; a $548,000,
or 42.1%, decline in provision for loan loss expense; a $496,000, or 99.6% decline in other real
estate owned expense; and a $435,000, or 107.1%, decline in FDIC assessment expense. These expense
declines were partially offset by a $1.1 million, or 21.5%, increase in salary and benefits expense
related to increased staffing in the risk management, information technology, finance, branch
administration and commercial banking areas as the Company prepares to prudently leverage capital
and accelerate growth.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, net income was $3.1 million, or $0.11 per
diluted share. Net income in 2011 declined $6.5 million as compared to the year-to-date period
ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to the balance sheet restructure executed in the second
quarter of 2011, whereby the Company paid down $122.2 million of Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
with a weighted average cost of 4.17% incurring a debt extinguishment expense of $8.9 million,
pre-tax. Furthermore, a $3.7 million, or 25.6%, increase in salary and benefits expense from
additions to the Companys management team and a one-time contribution to the Rockville Bank
Charitable Foundation, Inc. of $5.0 million, pre-tax, also contributed to the year-to-date expense
increase. Included in the $3.7 million increase in nine-month salary and benefits expense is the
recognition of $830,000 of retirement expenses to a former executive and $220,000 of other
contractual payments.
Net Interest Income Increases
Net interest income increased 13.4% to $15.4 million in the third quarter of 2011 from $13.6
million in the comparable 2010 period. The net interest margin increased 17 basis points to 3.70%
for the third quarter of 2011 from the comparable period in 2010, and increased by 62 basis points
from 3.08% in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 10
basis points to 1.03% in the third quarter of 2011 from the comparable 2010 period, while the cost
of interest bearing liabilities decreased 46 basis points to 1.28% over the same time period,
reflective of the Companys focus on decreasing the cost of funds. For the first nine months of
2011, net interest income increased 6.0% to $42.5 million from $40.1 million in the first nine
months of 2010. The net interest margin decreased 24 basis points to 3.29% for the first nine
months of 2011 from the comparable 2010 period.
Provision For Loan Losses Declines
The provision for loan losses declined $548,000, or 42.1%, to $754,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2011 compared to $1.3 million for the comparable 2010 period. For the nine months
ending September 30, 2011, the provision for loan losses declined $854,000, or 27.4%, to $2.3
million from $3.1 million for the comparable 2010 period due to the disposition of various
non-performing loans. Provision expense
continues to be assessed in correlation with the Companys loan growth and risk management
enhancements.

Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income decreased $534,000, or 19.4%, to $2.2 million during the third quarter of 2011
in comparison to the third quarter of 2010. The decline is due to the $427,000 decrease in service
charges and fees related primarily to lower loan fee income generated by Rockville Bank Mortgage,
Inc. as a result of the slowing residential loan demand together with the $264,000 decline in
income realized on the sale of residential mortgages to the secondary market. Non-interest income
increased $4.9 million to $11.7 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 in
comparison to the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. The year-to-date increase is
attributed to realized securities gains totaling $6.2 million from the sale of common and preferred
stock in the second quarter 2011, partially offset by the declines in service charges and fees and
gains from sales of loans totaling $1.1 million.
Non-interest expense increased $720,000, or 7.3%, to $10.6 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2011 compared to $9.9 million for the comparable 2010 period. During the three month
period, salary and benefits expense increased $1.1 million compared to the prior year period
related to staffing increases noted above. Full-time equivalent employees increased to 261 at
September 30, 2011 from 236 at December 31, 2010. Non-interest expense as a percentage of average
assets decreased to 2.44% in the third quarter 2011 from 2.46% in the third quarter 2010.
Non-interest expense increased $18.3 million, or 63.5%, to $47.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2011 compared to $28.9 million for the comparable 2010 period. Of the $18.3 million
year-to-date increase, 81.5% is related to items previously discussed under operating results.
Organic Growth Continues
The Companys total assets increased $72.1 million, or 4.3%, to $1.75 billion at September 30, 2011
from December 31, 2010. The increase is attributed to an $8.1 million increase in cash and cash
equivalents, a $6.0 million increase in investment securities, a $35.0 million increase in net
loans and a $20.3 million increase in the cash surrender value of Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI).
The growth was funded primarily with the proceeds received from additional deposits of $78.3
million.
Average net loans increased $22.4 million to $1.45 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2011
from $1.42 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The average loan yield also increased by 2
basis points to 4.93% for the third quarter 2011 from 4.91% for the second quarter 2011.
Average total deposits increased $13.3 million to $1.28 billion for the quarter ended September 30,
2011 from $1.27 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The average deposit cost decreased by
2 basis points to 0.89% for the third quarter 2011 from 0.91% for the second quarter 2011. Average
core deposits increased by $17.3 million to $726.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011
from $709.5 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2011, while average time deposits decreased $4.0
million during the same time period.

Non-performing assets increased $888,000 to $14.2 million at September 30, 2011 from $13.4 million
at December 31, 2010. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets increased 1 basis point to
0.81% at September 30, 2011 from 0.80% at December 31, 2010. Loans on non-accrual increased $1.5
million to $13.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $12.4 million at December 31, 2010. Included in
non-accrual loans are troubled debt restructurings. Troubled debt restructurings increased $714,000
to $2.4 million at September 30, 2011 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2010. The ratio of
non-performing loans to total loans increased 8 basis points to 0.95% at September 30, 2011 from
0.87% at December 31, 2010.
