FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OCEANFIRST FINANCIAL CORP.

ANNOUNCES RECORD ANNUAL NET INCOME,

CONTINUING EARNINGS PER SHARE GROWTH

TOMS RIVER, NEW JERSEY, January 19, 2012…OceanFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:“OCFC”), the holding company for OceanFirst Bank (the “Bank”), today announced a record $20.7 million of net income for the year 2011. Diluted earnings per share also increased over the prior year rising to $1.14 for the year ended December 31, 2011, from $1.12 for the corresponding prior year period. Net income for 2010 was $20.4 million. Additional highlights included:

 

   

Total revenue of $92.6 million also set a record for the Company, driving the net income milestone.

 

   

The combination of solid earnings and increased other comprehensive income has boosted shareholder book value by 8.6% year-to-date to $11.61 per share.

 

   

The Company remains well-capitalized with a tangible common equity ratio of 9.42% at December 31, 2011.


The Company also announced that the Board of Directors declared its sixtieth consecutive quarterly cash dividend on common stock. The dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 was declared in the amount of $0.12 per share to be paid on February 10, 2012, to shareholders of record on January 30, 2012.

Chairman and CEO John R. Garbarino observed, “Our second consecutive year of record-setting earnings coupled with controlled growth in the balance sheet further fortifies our capital position. Continued strong earnings and loan loss provisions support our capital management plans and validate our share repurchase program, returning value to our shareholders.”

Results of Operations

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $5.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share for the corresponding prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2011, net income increased to $20.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, as compared to net income of $20.4 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, for the prior year. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2010, diluted earnings per share included $922,000, or $.05 per share, relating to a reduction in the state tax valuation allowance.

Net interest income for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 increased to $19.3 million and $77.3 million, respectively, as compared to $18.9 million and $77.1 million, respectively, in the same prior year periods, reflecting greater interest-earning assets. The net interest margin increased slightly to 3.53% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 from 3.52% in the same prior year period. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the net interest margin


decreased to 3.59% from 3.69% in the prior year due to a change in the mix of average interest-earning assets from higher-yielding loans receivable into lower-yielding short-term investments and investment securities. High loan refinance volume also caused yields on loans and mortgage-backed securities to trend downward. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 4.29% and 4.43%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 4.62% and 4.86%, respectively, in the same prior year periods. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.86% and 0.95%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 1.23% and 1.30%, respectively, in the same prior year periods. Average interest-earning assets increased $37.6 million, or 1.8%, and $66.8 million, or 3.2%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same prior year periods. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily due to the increase in average investment securities which increased $82.3 million and $82.5 million, respectively, and the increase in short-term investments which increased $20.9 million and $23.7 million, respectively. These increases were partly offset by a decrease in average loans receivable, net, of $80.3 million and $37.0 million, respectively. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $7.6 million and $40.0 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same prior year periods. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted from higher average interest-bearing deposits of $30.8 million and $153.9 million, respectively. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in average borrowed funds of $9.0 million and $87.6 million and a decrease in average time deposits of $14.2 million and $26.3 million, respectively.


For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, the provision for loan losses was $2.0 million and $7.8 million, respectively, as compared to $2.0 million and $8.0 million, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods.

Other income decreased to $4.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $4.5 million in the same prior year period. Other income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was unchanged at $15.3 million. For the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, the net gain on the sale of loans decreased $506,000 and $655,000, respectively, due to a decrease in the volume of loans sold. Additionally, during 2011 the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss on equity securities of $148,000. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the lower gain on sale of loans and the impairment loss were offset by an increase in income from Bank owned life insurance of $327,000 and an increase in fees and service charges of $217,000.

Operating expenses decreased by 6.5%, to $13.0 million, and 1.8%, to $52.7 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $13.9 million and $53.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods. The decrease for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding prior year periods was due to lower compensation and employee benefits costs, which decreased by $456,000, or 6.3%, to $6.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and by $71,000, or 0.3%, to $28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 partly due to a reduction in head count. Additionally, Federal deposit insurance decreased by $197,000 and $152,000, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 due to a lower assessment rate and a change in the assessment methodology from deposit-based to a total liability-based assessment. For the year ended December 31, 2011, occupancy expense benefited by $184,000 from the negotiated settlement of the remaining office lease obligation at Columbia Home Loans, LLC (“Columbia”), the Company’s mortgage banking subsidiary, which had been shuttered in 2007.


The provision for income taxes was $3.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1.7 million and $10.4 million, respectively, for the same prior year periods. The effective tax rate increased to 35.5% and 35.6%, respectively, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 22.7% and 33.8%, respectively, in the same prior year periods. The increase in the effective tax rates was due to the fourth quarter 2010 reduction in the state tax valuation allowance of $922,000.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased by $50.8 million, or 2.3%, to $2,302.1 million at December 31, 2011, from $2,251.3 million at December 31, 2010. Cash and due from banks increased by $46.1 million, to $77.5 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to $31.5 million at December 31, 2010. Investment securities available for sale increased by $73.4 million, to $165.3 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to $91.9 million at December 31, 2010, due to purchases of short-term government agency securities. Loans receivable, net decreased by $97.8 million, or 5.9%, to $1,563.0 million at December 31, 2011, from $1,660.8 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to prepayments and sale of newly originated 30-year fixed-rate one-to-four family loans.

Deposits increased by $42.1 million, or 2.5%, to $1,706.1 million at December 31 2011, from $1,664.0 million at December 31, 2010. An increase of $58.3 million in core deposits (i.e. all deposits excluding time deposits) was partly offset by a decline in time deposits, which decreased $16.2 million. The Bank opened its twenty-fourth branch office during the quarter.


The branch is located within a senior housing development, Harrogate, in Lakewood, New Jersey and maintains limited hours for residents and employees of the retirement community. Stockholders’ equity increased 7.8%, to $216.8 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to $201.3 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to net income and a reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss partly offset by the cash dividend on common stock and by the repurchase of 165,154 shares of common stock for $2.1 million.

Asset Quality

The Company’s non-performing loans totaled $44.0 million at December 31, 2011, a $6.5 million increase from $37.5 million at December 31, 2010, primarily due to the second quarter addition of one large loan relationship totaling $6.4 million, collateralized by commercial and residential real estate, all business assets and a personal guarantee. An appraisal performed in May 2011 values the real estate collateral at $8.7 million. Additionally, non-performing one-to-four family real estate loans increased $2.6 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to December 31, 2010 due to continued economic stress, ability to pay and the extended foreclosure process in the State of New Jersey. Net loan charge-offs increased to $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $3.0 million for the corresponding prior year period. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company modified its charge-off policy on problem loans secured by real estate. Historically, the Company established specific valuation reserves for problem real estate related loans when the loans were deemed uncollectible. The specific valuation reserves were based upon the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, less costs to sell. The actual loan charge-off was not recorded until the foreclosure process was complete. Under the revised policy, also acceptable under Generally Accepted Accounting


Principles, losses on loans secured by real estate are charged-off in the period the loans, or portion thereof, are deemed uncollectible, generally after the loan becomes 120 days delinquent. The change in the charge-off policy resulted in additional charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2011 of $5.7 million. All of these charge-offs were previously identified in the Company’s allowance for loan losses as a specific valuation reserve and were included in the Company’s loss history as part of the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. Accordingly, the additional charge-offs did not affect the Company’s provision for loan losses or net income for the period.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, non-performing loans decreased $4.4 million as compared to the prior linked quarter and net loan charge-offs were $6.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 of which $5.7 million related to the change in the charge-off policy as noted above.

The reserve for repurchased loans, which is included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition, was $705,000 at December 31, 2011, a $104,000 decrease from December 31, 2010 due to a settlement of one repurchase request. There was no provision for repurchased loans recorded during the year ended December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011, there were four outstanding loan repurchase requests on loans with a total principal balance of $1.2 million which the Company is disputing.
