Fiscal 2012 Earnings of $0.64 per Diluted Share excluding merger related charges, or $0.52 per diluted Share in GAAP Earnings

MONTEBELLO, N.Y. – October 29, 2012 – Provident New York Bancorp (NYSE: PBNY), the parent company of Provident Bank, today announced fiscal fourth quarter results for the period ending September 30, 2012, as well as for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. Net income for the quarter was $6.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share excluding merger related charges related to the acquisition of Gotham Bank of New York (“Gotham”), compared to a net loss of $493,000, or $(0.01) per diluted share for same quarter last year; and $6.2 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the linked quarter ended June 30, 2012.

President’s Comments

Jack Kopnisky, President and CEO, commented: “The fiscal fourth quarter of 2012 continued to produce strong earnings for our Bank, yielding $0.17 per diluted share, excluding merger related charges for Gotham. This is a continuation of the solid earnings that we put forth for the third fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2012.

We had earnings of $0.64 (excluding merger related charges) per diluted share for the fiscal year 2012 as compared to $0.31 per diluted share in the fiscal year 2011. This represents a 106 percent increase in earnings per share year over year. We have been able to grow earnings for our Bank based on strong commercial loan and deposit growth, expense controls, and improvement in credit quality. We implemented a team based approach in commercial banking that facilitated the significant growth in loans and deposits for the year. We reduced approximately $10 million in noninterest core expenses by reducing back office and retail costs and redeployed approximately $5 million to customer facing opportunities. The completion of the Gotham acquisition accelerated our entry into the New York City market, which is strategically beneficial for our Bank. We also raised $46.0 million in capital, which resulted in a Tier 1 Leverage Ratio of 8.94 percent based on average assets for the fourth quarter. We were able to significantly reduce our non-performing loans during the fourth quarter to $39.8 million, representing a 10 percent decrease in non-performing loans quarter over quarter. Net charge offs as a percentage of average loans stood at 57 basis points compared to 55 basis points last quarter, and 241 basis points for the fourth quarter last year.

In terms of the balance sheet, we saw net loan growth of $415.3 million for 2012, a 24.8 percent increase over last year. We funded this loan growth with deposit base expansion, excluding more volatile municipal deposits of $527.5 million, or a 31.4 percent increase year over year.”

Key items for the quarter

 

   

Total loan originations were $205.7 million compared to $206.2 million in the linked quarter, and $180.6 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011.

 

   

Non-performing loans were reduced from $44.5 million at June 30, 2012, to $39.8 million at September 30, 2012.

 

   

Our allowance for loan losses increased $695,000 significantly improving the ratio to non-performing loans increased to approximately 71 percent from 62 percent. Provision for loan losses increased by $1.2 million during the fourth quarter. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, provision for loan losses was $8.8 million.

 

   

Securities gains were $3.0 million after tax based on the period’s effective tax rate, for the fourth quarter.

Gotham Bank Acquisition

On August 10, 2012 the Company accelerated its growth into the New York City market area with the completion of the Gotham Bank acquisition with $434.0 million of assets, $209.4 million of loans, and $368.5 million in deposits. Intangible assets increased $9.8 million due to good will and core deposit intangibles associated with the transaction. The fair value analysis of the assets resulted in a discount of 1.9 percent to the loan portfolio and a core deposit premium of 2.8 percent. Merger related costs related to this acquisition were $5.9 million or $4.5 million net of taxes.

Net Interest Income and Margin

Fourth quarter fiscal 2012 compared with fourth quarter fiscal 2011

Net interest income was $25.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, up $2.4 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2011. Reflecting the current interest rate environment, the tax-equivalent yield on investments decreased 37 basis points and loan yields were down 25 basis points compared to the fourth quarter fiscal 2011. As a result, the yield on interest-earning assets declined 32 basis points. The cost of deposits increased 1 basis point to 27 basis points, and the cost of

 

4  Tier 1 leverage based on period end assets equated to 7.6%, still well capitalized.


borrowings decreased by 4 basis points to 3.65 percent. The resulting net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 3.38 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to 3.58 percent for the same period a year ago.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2012 compared with linked quarter ended June 30, 2012

Net interest income for the quarter ending September 30, 2012 increased $1.2 million to $25.2 million, compared to $24.1 million at the linked quarter ending June 30, 2012. The tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.38 percent from 3.59 percent in the linked quarter. Loan yields were 4.97 percent. Deposit costs increased by 5 basis points mainly due to the inflow of Gotham deposits, while the cost of borrowings decreased 12 basis points.

Noninterest Income

Fourth quarter fiscal 2012 compared with fourth quarter fiscal 2011

Noninterest income remained stable for the fourth quarter fiscal 2012 compared with fourth quarter fiscal 2011. Increases in deposit fees, service charges and gain on sale of loans partly offset the decrease in the net gain on sale of securities.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2012 compared with linked quarter ended June 30, 2012

Noninterest income increased $1.0 million to $9.0 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 compared to the linked quarter ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to security gains.

Noninterest Expense

Fourth quarter fiscal 2012 compared with fourth quarter fiscal 2011

Noninterest expense increased $4.4 million, when compared to the fourth quarter fiscal 2011, mostly due to merger related charges of $4.5 million net of tax incurred during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 includes $3.2 million of restructuring charges.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2012 compared with the linked quarter ended June 30, 2012

Noninterest expense increased $7.6 million, or 36.0 percent over the linked quarter. Increases of $4.5 million were seen in merger related costs related to the Gotham acquisition, totaling approximately $4.9 million. Compensation and benefits increased $2.0 million in part due to the Gotham acquisition, and incentive bonus accruals.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense for the year 2012 at an effective tax rate of 23.6 percent compared to 19.3 percent for the same period in fiscal 2011. The difference is primarily due to an increased write-off of credits in 2011, as well as larger tax-exempt municipal security interest relative to pre-tax income for fiscal 2011.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming loans decreased to $39.8 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $44.5 million at June 30, 2012. We disposed of one ADC (“Acquisition, Development and Construction”) loan of approximately $3.0 million and completed foreclosure on $1.5 million from the ADC portfolio. During the quarter, we also disposed of $2.0 million in foreclosed properties, reducing that balance from $7.3 million at June 30, 2012 to $6.4 million at September 30, 2012. Net charge-offs for the quarter were $2.8 million compared to $3.5 million in provision. For the year, net charge-offs were $10.2 million and the provision was $10.6 million. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2012 was $28.3 million, 71 percent of nonperforming loans and 1.47 percent of the Provident loan portfolio, excluding loans acquired from Gotham which are carried at fair value and are not assigned any reserves.


Key Balance Sheet Changes

 

   

Assets increased $872.7 million or 27.7 percent compared to June 30, 2012 as a result of increases in investment securities of $267.8 million, net loans of $267.8 million, and cash balances of $326.5 million.

 

   

Deposits increased $779.1 million compared to June 30, 2012, with growth experienced in all deposit categories. Municipal deposits increased $422.0 million compared to June 30, 2012, as a result of seasonal tax deposits.

 

   

Securities increased $267.8 million over June 30, 2012 levels, primarily due to purchases of $462.8 million in securities during the fourth fiscal quarter partially offset by sales of $100.0 million, with associated gains of $3.2 million, and $95.0 million in calls, maturities and principal pay downs.

 

   

Foreclosed properties decreased by 12.2 percent from June 30, 2012 to $6.4 million at September 30, 2012, as we continue to actively manage our portfolios and the market moves towards a greater stability.

Capital and Liquidity

Provident Bank remained well capitalized at September 30, 2012 with a Tier 1 Leverage ratio of approximately 8.9 percent based on average assets. Tier 1 Leverage ratio based on period end assets was approximately 7.6 percent, which is still considered well capitalized. Tangible book value per share decreased to $7.30 at September 30, 2012 from $7.35 at June 30, 2012, due to the acquisition of Gotham. Total capital increased $49.0 million from June 30, 2012, to $492.2 million at September 30, 2012, due primarily to the capital raise announced previously.

Subsequent Events

During October the Company agreed to sell Hudson Valley Investment Advisors, LLC (“HVIA”), an investment advisory firm. The assets related to HVIA are shown on the balance sheet as assets held for sale at a fair value of $4.6 million which reflects deductions in goodwill of $3.3 million.

(2) The operating efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. As in the case of net interest income, generally, net interest income as utilized in calculating the operating efficiency ratio is typically expressed on a tax-equivalent basis. Moreover, most institutions, in calculating the the operating efficiency ratio, also adjust both noninterest expense and noninterest income to exclude from these items (as calculated under generally accepted accounting principles) certain component elements, such as non-recurring charges, other real estate expense and amortization of intangibles (deducted from non interest expense) and security transactions and other non-recurring items (excluded from non interest income). We follow these practices.
(3) Provident Bank provides supplemental reporting of Non-GAAP tangible equity ratios as management believes this information is useful to investors.
