VINELAND, NJ – April 23, 2014 – Sun Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNBC) (the “Company”) reported today a net loss available to common shareholders of $1.9 million, or a loss of $0.02 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to a net loss of $8.2 million, or a loss of $0.09 per diluted share, and net income of $2.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2013, respectively.

The allowance for loan losses equaled $33.8 million at March 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.8 million from December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses equaled 1.62% of gross loans held-for-investment and 90.2% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2014 as compared to 1.66% and 93.6%, respectively, at December 31, 2013.

● Occupancy expense totaled $4.3 million, an increase of $860 thousand from the prior quarter, as winter weather related expenses totaled $1.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Discussion of Results:

Balance Sheet

● Total assets were $3.04 billion at March 31, 2014, as compared to $3.09 billion at December 31, 2013.

● Cash and cash equivalents were $282.1 million at March 31, 2014, as compared to $267.8 million at December 31, 2013. The increase of $14.3 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to declining loan balances, including those held-for-sale, partially offset by a decrease in deposits.

● Gross loans held-for-investment were $2.08 billion at March 31, 2014, as compared to $2.14 billion at December 31, 2013, a decline of $53.6 million which was primarily due to loan paydowns.

● Deposits were $2.57 billion at March 31, 2014, as compared to $2.62 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease of $48.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the prior quarter was primarily due to decreases in public funds deposits.

Net Interest Income and Margin

● Net interest income decreased $543 thousand from the linked quarter to $21.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The net interest margin increased eight basis points to 3.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 2.99% for the linked quarter, and decreased nine basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2013. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased seven basis points to 3.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from 3.47% for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease between the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and the comparable prior year period is primarily due to a decline of $184.1 million in average commercial loans and an increase of $40.9 million in average interest earning bank balances. The increase from the linked quarter is due primarily to a decrease of $122.3 million in average interest bearing cash balances.

Non-Interest Income

● Non-interest income was $4.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $4.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and $10.9 million for the comparable prior year quarter. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily attributable to a decrease of $672 thousand in negative derivative credit valuation adjustments from the prior quarter partially offset by a decrease in net mortgage banking revenue of $365 thousand. The decrease in the negative derivative credit valuation adjustments from the prior quarter was primarily due to swap termination fees of $1.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to no swap termination fees recorded in the first quarter of 2014. Mortgage banking revenue, net, decreased from $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 to $635 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, which was due to lower production volume in a higher interest rate environment.

Non-Interest Expense

● Non-interest expense was $27.9 million in the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of $4.6 million compared to the linked quarter and a decrease of $3.4 million from the comparable prior year quarter. In comparison to the linked quarter, decreases in professional fees, other real estate owned, advertising, commission expense, and salaries and employee benefits of $3.4 million, $385 thousand, $317 thousand, $201 thousand, and $186 thousand, respectively, were partially offset by an increase of $860 thousand in occupancy expense. Professional fees declined as the Company reduced its reliance on regulatory compliance consulting services. Commission expense has decreased due to reduced mortgage production volumes. Occupancy expense for the first quarter includes $1.0 million of snow removal expenses.

Asset Quality

● During the first quarter of 2014, there was no provision expense recorded, as compared to provision expense of $2.1 million in the linked quarter and $171 thousand in the comparable prior year quarter. The allowance for loan losses was $33.8 million, or 1.62% of gross loans held-for-investment, at March 31, 2014, as compared to $35.5 million, or 1.66% of gross loans held-for-investment at December 31, 2013. Net charge-offs were $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2014, as compared to net charge-offs in the linked quarter of $15.5 million and net recoveries in the comparable prior year quarter of $1.1 million.

● Total non-performing assets were $40.2 million, or 1.91% of total gross loans held-for-investment, loans held-for-sale and real estate owned at March 31, 2014, as compared to $40.5 million, or 1.87%, at December 31, 2013. Non-performing loans decreased $531 thousand to $37.4 million at March 31, 2014 from $38.0 million at December 31, 2013.

Capital

● Shareholders’ equity totaled $248.9 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $245.3 million at December 31, 2013. The Company’s tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.01% at March 31, 2014, as compared to 6.77% at December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio and leverage capital ratio were approximately 14.87%, 12.75%, and 9.40%, respectively. At March 31, 2014, Sun National Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 capital ratio and leverage capital ratio were approximately 14.08%, 12.83%, and 9.45%, respectively.
