HUDSON CITY BANCORP, INC. REPORTS QUARTERLY EARNINGS OF $37.1 MILLION

DECLARED QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND OF $0.04 PER SHARE

Paramus, New Jersey, October 22, 2014 - Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCBK) (the “Company”), the holding company for Hudson City Savings Bank (the “Bank”), reported today net income of $37.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net income of $42.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.07 for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.09 for the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported net income of $118.8 million as compared to net income of $139.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.24 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.28 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The Company also reported today that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share payable on November 26, 2014 to shareholders of record on November 7, 2014.

Financial highlights for the third quarter of 2014 are as follows:

 

    The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio increased to 11.48% at September 30, 2014 as compared to 10.82% at December 31, 2013. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio increased to 27.93% at September 30, 2014 as compared to 25.31% at December 31, 2013.

 

    Non-performing loans decreased $189.4 million to $859.8 million at September 30, 2014 as compared to $1.05 billion at December 31, 2013 due primarily to the sale of non-performing Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) loans. Early stage loan delinquencies (defined as loans that are 30 to 89 days delinquent) decreased $39.9 million to $433.5 million at September 30, 2014 from $473.4 million at December 31, 2013.

 

    The Bank sold a pool of $112.1 million of non-performing residential mortgage loans guaranteed by the FHA, at par value, back to the institution that originally sold the loans to the Bank. This transaction contributed to a net credit of $3.5 million in the provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2014.

 

    Gains on the sales of mortgage-backed securities amounted to $22.3 million and $57.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $10.6 million and $17.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

 

    FDIC expense decreased $7.1 million to $11.8 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $18.9 million for the third quarter of 2013 and decreased $23.7 million to $38.8 million for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to $62.5 million for the first nine months of 2013 due to decreases in our assessment rate and a reduction in the size of our balance sheet.

    Our interest rate spread and net interest margin were 0.88% and 1.18%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 1.22% and 1.48%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2013. For the linked second quarter of 2014, our interest rate spread and net interest margin were 1.00% and 1.29%, respectively.

 

    Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits increased $1.38 billion to $5.57 billion at September 30, 2014 from $4.19 billion at December 31, 2013.

 

    During the first nine months of 2014, we purchased $1.80 billion of U.S. Treasury securities with an average life of 1.4 years and an average yield of 0.34%.

 

    Total deposits decreased $1.50 billion, or 7.0%, to $19.97 billion at September 30, 2014 from $21.47 billion at December 31, 2013 due to our decision to maintain deposit rates that allow us to control deposit reductions at a time when there are limited investment opportunities with attractive yields to reinvest the funds received from payment activity on mortgage-related assets.

Statement of Financial Condition Summary

Total assets decreased $1.45 billion, or 3.8%, to $37.16 billion at September 30, 2014 from $38.61 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease in total assets reflected a $2.72 billion decrease in total mortgage-backed securities and a $1.81 billion decrease in net loans, partially offset by a $1.36 billion increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $1.80 billion increase in investment securities.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased $1.36 billion to $5.68 billion at September 30, 2014 as compared to $4.32 billion at December 31, 2013. This increase is primarily due to repayments on mortgage-related assets and the lack of attractive reinvestment opportunities in the current low interest rate environment as available short term reinvestment opportunities continue to carry low yields, and medium and longer term opportunities available to us carry significant duration risk at relatively low yields. We have maintained lower deposit rates to allow a reduction in our deposits to help alleviate the pressure created by our increasing cash position. Accordingly, we have used a portion of our excess cash inflows to fund these deposit reductions.

Net loans decreased to $22.13 billion at September 30, 2014 as compared to $23.94 billion at December 31, 2013 due primarily to a decrease in loan production. During the first nine months of 2014, our loan production (originations and purchases) amounted to $1.10 billion as compared to $2.93 billion for the same period in 2013. Loan production was offset by principal repayments of $2.86 billion during the first nine months of 2014, as compared to principal repayments of $5.32 billion for the first nine months of 2013. The decline in loan production during the first nine months of 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 reflects our limited appetite for adding long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans to our portfolio in the current low market interest rate environment. In addition, loan production has been impacted by the new qualified mortgage regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”). Effective in January 2014, we discontinued our reduced documentation loan program in order to comply with the new requirements to validate a borrower’s ability to repay and the corresponding safe harbor for loans that meet the requirements for a “qualified mortgage.” During 2013, 22% of our total loan production consisted of reduced documentation loans to borrowers with acceptable credit and larger down payments resulting in loss ratios similar to our full documentation portfolio.

Total mortgage-backed securities decreased $2.72 billion to $6.23 billion at September 30, 2014 from $8.95 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to securities sales of $1.63 billion and repayments of $1.15 billion of mortgage-backed securities during the first nine months of 2014. We sold

these mortgage-backed securities to take advantage of current market demand and prices. The proceeds from the sales have been invested primarily in short-term liquid assets. While this further increases our levels of low-yielding liquid assets, we believe this positions our balance sheet for future strategic initiatives such as a potential balance sheet restructuring.

Total investment securities increased $1.80 billion to $2.14 billion at September 30, 2014 as compared to $336.3 million at December 31, 2013. The increase was due primarily to purchases of $1.80 billion of U.S. Treasury securities with an average life of 1.4 years which are used as collateral for our outstanding borrowings.

Total liabilities decreased $1.51 billion, or 4.5%, to $32.35 billion at September 30, 2014 from $33.86 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease in total liabilities reflected a decrease in total deposits while total borrowed funds remained unchanged.

Total shareholders’ equity increased $73.0 million to $4.82 billion at September 30, 2014 as compared to $4.74 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to net income of $118.8 million partially offset by cash dividends paid to common shareholders of $60.1 million. At September 30, 2014, our consolidated shareholders’ equity to asset ratio was 12.96% and our tangible book value per share was $9.34.

Statement of Income Summary

The Federal Open Market Committee of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “FOMC”) noted that economic activity has improved in recent months. The FOMC noted that labor market conditions have improved. However, the unemployment rate is little changed and a range of labor market indicators suggests that there remains significant underutilization of labor resources. Household spending appears to be rising moderately and business fixed investment is advancing, while the recovery in the housing sector remained slow. The national unemployment rate decreased to 5.9% in September 2014 from 6.7% in December 2013 and from 7.2% in September 2013. The FOMC decided to maintain the overnight lending target rate at zero to 0.25% during the third quarter of 2014.

Beginning in October 2014, the FOMC decided to reduce the rate of purchases of agency mortgage-backed securities to $5.0 billion per month from $10.0 billion per month and to reduce purchases of longer-term Treasury securities to $10.0 billion per month from $15.0 billion per month. The FOMC noted that its sizeable and still increasing holdings of longer-term securities should maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative.

Net interest income decreased $34.5 million, or 24.7%, to $104.9 million for the third quarter of 2014 from $139.4 million for the third quarter of 2013 reflecting the overall decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the continued low interest rate environment and a continued increase in the average balance of short-term liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury securities and Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits. Our interest rate spread decreased to 0.88% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 1.00% for the linked second quarter of 2014 and 1.22% for the third quarter of 2013. Our net interest margin was 1.18% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 1.29% for the linked second quarter of 2014 and 1.48% for the third quarter of 2013.

Net interest income decreased $121.6 million, or 25.5%, to $355.0 million for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to $476.6 million for the first nine months of 2013. Our interest rate spread decreased 40 basis points to 1.01% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 1.41% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our net interest margin decreased 36 basis points to 1.29% for

the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 1.65% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in our interest rate spread and net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to repayments of higher yielding assets due to the low interest rate environment. The decrease is also due to an increase in the average balance of Federal funds and other overnight deposits and U.S. Treasury securities which yield 0.25% and 0.34%, respectively.

Total interest and dividend income for the third quarter of 2014 decreased $38.7 million, or 11.9%, to $287.6 million from $326.3 million for the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in total interest and dividend income was due to a $1.91 billion decrease in the average balance of total interest-earning assets during the third quarter of 2014 to $36.58 billion from $38.49 billion for the third quarter of 2013 as well as a decrease in the annualized weighted-average yield on total interest earning assets. The decrease in the average balance of total interest-earning assets for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the third quarter of 2013 was due primarily to repayments and sales of mortgage-related assets as a result of the low interest rate environment and our decision not to reinvest in low yielding, long term assets. The annualized weighted-average yield on total interest-earning assets was 3.14% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 3.39% for the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in the annualized weighted average yield of interest-earning assets was due to lower market interest rates earned on mortgage-related assets. The decrease was also due to a $2.11 billion increase in the average balance of Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits to $5.33 billion with an average yield of 0.25% and an increase of $1.34 billion in investment securities with an annualized weighted-average yield of 0.56% during the third quarter of 2014.

Total interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $140.5 million, or 13.5%, to $899.4 million from $1.04 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in total interest and dividend income was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of total interest-earning assets of $1.83 billion, or 4.7%, to $37.05 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $38.88 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in total interest and dividend income was also due to a decrease of 33 basis points in the annualized weighted-average yield on total interest-earning assets to 3.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 3.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Interest on first mortgage loans decreased $24.7 million, or 9.3%, to $241.6 million for the third quarter of 2014 from $266.3 million for the third quarter of 2013. The decrease in interest on first mortgage loans was primarily due to a $2.03 billion decrease in the average balance of first mortgage loans to $22.35 billion for the third quarter of 2014 from $24.38 billion for the same quarter in 2013. The decrease in interest income on first mortgage loans was also due to a 5 basis point decrease in the annualized weighted-average yield to 4.32% for the third quarter of 2014 from 4.37% for the third quarter of 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest on first mortgage loans decreased $102.7 million, or 12.2%, to $741.9 million from $844.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This was primarily due to a $2.26 billion decrease in the average balance of first mortgage loans to $22.99 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $25.25 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in interest income on mortgage loans was also due to a 16 basis point decrease in the annualized weighted-average yield to 4.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 4.46% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The decrease in the annualized weighted-average yield earned on first mortgage loans during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to repayments of higher-yielding loans. Consequently, the average yield on our loan portfolio continued to decline during the first nine months of 2014.

Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $16.2 million to $34.7 million for the third quarter of 2014 from $50.9 million for the third quarter of 2013. This decrease was due primarily to a $3.29 billion decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $6.68 billion for the third quarter of 2014 from $9.97 billion for the third quarter of 2013. This was partially offset by an increase in the annualized weighted-average yield of mortgage-backed securities to 2.08% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 2.04% for third quarter of 2013.

Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $39.4 million to $125.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $164.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was due primarily to a $2.41 billion decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $7.58 billion during the first nine months of 2014 from $9.99 billion for the first nine months of 2013. The annualized weighted-average yield of mortgage-backed securities was 2.20% for both the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

The decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 was due to sales of mortgage-backed securities and principal repayments. During the first nine months of 2014, we sold $1.63 billion of mortgage-backed securities to realize gains that would decrease as market interest rates increase and as repayments reduced the outstanding principal balance on these securities.

Interest on investment securities increased $969,000 to $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2013. This increase was due primarily to a $1.34 billion increase in the average balance of investment securities to $1.69 billion for the third quarter of 2014 from $344.1 million for the third quarter of 2013. This was partially offset by a decrease in the annualized weighted-average yield to 0.56% for the third quarter of 2014 from 1.60% for the third quarter of 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest on investment securities decreased $2.1 million to $5.2 million as compared to $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was due to a decrease of 139 basis points in the annualized weighted-average yield to 0.81% for the first nine months of 2014 from 2.20% for the same period in 2013. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $423.2 million in the average balance of investment securities to $862.3 million for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to $439.1 million for the first nine months of 2013.

The increase in the average balance of investment securities during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 was due to the purchase of $1.80 billion of U.S. Treasury securities during the first nine months of 2014. The decrease in the average yield earned on investment securities during this same period is due to the yield earned on the U.S. Treasury securities purchased which was 0.34%.

Interest on Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits amounted to $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2013. The increase in interest income on Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits. The average balance of Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits amounted to $5.33 billion for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $3.22 billion for the third quarter of 2013. The yield earned on Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits was 0.25% for the 2014 third quarter and 0.23% for the 2013 third quarter.

Interest on Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits amounted to $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due primarily to an increase in the average balance of Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits. The average balance of Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits amounted to $5.07 billion for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to $2.62 billion for the same period in 2013. The yield earned on Federal funds and other overnight deposits was 0.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 0.24% for the same period in 2013, respectively.

 

Page 5


The increase in the average balance of Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 was due primarily to repayments and sales of mortgage-related assets and our low appetite for adding long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans to our portfolio in the current low interest rate environment.

Total interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 decreased $4.2 million, or 2.2%, to $182.7 million from $186.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.11 billion decrease in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities to $31.76 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 from $33.87 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. This was offset by an increase in the annualized weighted-average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities which was 2.26% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 2.17% for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities was due entirely to a decrease in the average balance of total deposits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, total interest expense decreased $18.8 million, or 3.3%, to $544.4 million from $563.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.10 billion, or 6.1%, decrease in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities to $32.33 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared with $34.43 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This was partially offset by an increase in the annualized weighted-average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities to 2.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 2.16% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities was due entirely to a decrease in the average balance of total deposits.

The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits which have a lower weighted-average cost than our borrowed funds, the average balances of which remained unchanged. Interest-bearing deposits accounted for 62% of interest-bearing liabilities for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 64% and 65% for the same respective periods in 2013.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $4.0 million, or 9.1%, to $40.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 from $44.0 million for the third quarter of 2013. The decrease is primarily due to a $2.12 billion decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $19.58 billion for the third quarter of 2014 from $21.70 billion for the third quarter of 2013. This was partially offset by an increase in average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 0.81% for the third quarter of 2014 from 0.80% for the third quarter of 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest expense on deposits decreased $19.0 million, or 13.6%, to $120.8 million from $139.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease of $2.10 billion in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $20.15 billion during the first nine months of 2014 from $22.25 billion for the first nine months of 2013. The decrease is also due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits of 4 basis points to 0.80% for the first nine months of 2014 from 0.84% for the first nine months of 2013. The decrease in the average cost of deposits for the first nine months of 2014 reflected the low market interest rates and our decision to maintain lower deposit rates to continue our balance sheet reduction.

Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased slightly to $142.7 million for the third quarter of 2014 from $142.9 million for the third quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 interest expense on borrowed funds increased to $423.6 million as compared to $423.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The average cost of borrowed funds was 4.59% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The average balance of borrowings was unchanged for both comparative periods.

Borrowings amounted to $12.18 billion at September 30, 2014 with an average cost of 4.59%. There are no scheduled maturities in the next 12 months.

During the third quarter of 2014, we sold a pool of $112.1 million of non-performing residential mortgage loans guaranteed by the FHA back to the financial institution that originally sold the loans to the Bank. The sale of the non-performing loan pool was in accordance with the repurchase right with respect to loans that become non-performing that the financial institution exercised pursuant to the terms of the original sale and servicing agreement between the Bank and the financial institution. As consideration for the sale of the non-performing loans, the Bank received from the financial institution an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding unpaid principal balance of the loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the loans. The Bank may sell additional loans to the financial institution in the future, in the event the financial institution exercises its repurchase right with respect to any additional non-performing FHA loans.

We recorded a net credit provision for loan losses of $3.5 million during third quarter of 2014. The provision for loan losses decreased $7.5 million and $40.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same respective periods in 2013. The negative provision for loan losses was primarily due to a decrease in the amount of total delinquent loans, which was largely the result of the sale of the pool of non-performing FHA loans, along with improving home prices and economic conditions and a decrease in the size of the loan portfolio.

Non-performing loans, defined as non-accruing loans and accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more, amounted to $859.8 million at September 30, 2014 as compared to $1.01 billion at June 30, 2014, $1.05 billion at December 31, 2013 and $1.07 billion at September 30, 2013. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 3.86% at September 30, 2014 as compared to 4.35% at June 30, 2014, 4.35% at December 31, 2013 and 4.36% at September 30, 2013. Notwithstanding the decrease in non-performing loans, the foreclosure process and the time to complete a foreclosure continue to be prolonged, especially in New York and New Jersey where approximately 74% of our non-performing loans are located. This protracted foreclosure process delays our ability to resolve non-performing loans through the sale of the underlying collateral and our ability to maximize any recoveries.

Loans delinquent 30 to 59 days amounted to $295.7 million at September 30, 2014 as compared to $274.9 million at June 30, 2014, $311.9 million at December 31, 2013 and $318.8 million at September 30, 2013. Loans delinquent 60 to 89 days amounted to $137.8 million at September 30, 2014 as compared to $136.5 million at June 30, 2014, $161.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $154.6 million at September 30, 2013.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to $242.2 million at September 30, 2014 as compared to $276.1 million at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans and as a percent of non-performing loans was 1.09% and 28.17%, respectively, at September 30, 2014, as compared to 1.19% and 27.17%, respectively, at September 30, 2013 and 1.15% and 26.31%, respectively, at December 31, 2013.

Net charge-offs amounted to $9.3 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $10.3 million for the third quarter of 2013 and $10.7 million for the linked second quarter of 2014. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2014 included $2.9 million resulting from the write-off of unamortized purchase premiums related to the sold pool of non-performing FHA loans. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.17% for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to 0.18% for the second quarter of 2014 and 0.17% for the third quarter of 2013.

Total non-interest income was $23.9 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $13.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. Included in non-interest income for the third quarter of 2014 were $22.3 million in gains from the sale of $644.2 million of mortgage-backed securities. Gains on the sales of securities amounted to $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2013. The remainder of non-interest income is primarily made up of service fees and charges on deposit and loan accounts.

Total non-interest income was $62.9 million for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to $25.6 million for the same period in 2013. Included in non-interest income for the first nine months of 2014 were $57.8 million in gains from the sale of $1.63 billion of mortgage-backed securities. Gains on the sales of securities amounted to $17.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

We sold these mortgage-backed securities during the first nine months of 2014 to take advantage of current market demand and prices.

Total non-interest expense decreased $8.5 million to $70.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $78.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. This decrease was due to a $7.1 million decrease in Federal deposit insurance expense and a $2.0 million decrease in compensation and employee benefits partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in other non-interest expense.

Compensation and employee benefit costs decreased $2.1 million, or 6.0%, to $32.7 million for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $34.8 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in compensation and employee benefit costs is primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in compensation expense and a $1.3 million decrease in postretirement benefit costs, partially offset by increases of $904,000 in medical plan expenses and $504,000 in stock benefit plan expense. The increase in stock benefit plan expense was due primarily to an increase in the market price of our common stock. At September 30, 2014, we had 1,515 full-time equivalent employees as compared to 1,525 at September 30, 2013.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, Federal deposit insurance expense decreased $7.1 million, or 37.6%, to $11.8 million from $18.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in Federal deposit insurance expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 is primarily due to a reduction in the size of our balance sheet and a decrease in our assessment rate.

Other non-interest expense increased $1.0 million to $16.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $15.5 million for the third quarter of 2013. This increase was due primarily to increases of $1.1 million in foreclosed real estate expenses and $1.5 million in professional service fees, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in net gains and write-downs on foreclosed real estate.

The increase in professional service fees is due primarily to fees related to the use of consultants to assist the Company in preparing its capital stress tests and capital plan as well as the use of consultants to supplement staffing during the pendency of the merger with M&T Bank Corporation (the “Merger”).

Included in other non-interest expense were net gains of $2.0 million resulting from write-downs on foreclosed real estate and net gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate for the third quarter of 2014 as compared to a net gain of $346,000 for the third quarter of 2013. We sold 69 properties during the third quarter of 2014 and had

 

Page 8


222 properties in foreclosed real estate with a carrying value of $78.5 million, 45 of which were under contract to sell as of September 30, 2014. For the third quarter of 2013, we sold 61 properties and had 180 properties in foreclosed real estate with a carrying value of $65.7 million, of which 23 were under contract to sell as of September 30, 2013.

Total non-interest expense amounted to $222.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $236.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Compensation and employee benefit costs decreased $331,000 to $98.7 million for the first nine months of 2014 as compared to $99.0 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in compensation costs is primarily due to decreases of $4.1 million in pension plan expense and $4.0 million in compensation expense. The increases were partially offset by increases of $3.6 million in stock benefit plan expense and $3.8 million in medical plan expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 Federal deposit insurance expense decreased $23.7 million, or 37.9%, to $38.8 million from $62.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in the size of our balance sheet and a decrease in our assessment rate.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, other non-interest expense increased $10.2 million to $57.1 million as compared to $46.9 million for the same period in 2013. This increase was due to an increase of $5.5 million in professional fees, a $3.3 million increase in foreclosed property expenses and a $3.0 million increase in our reserve related to our claim against the Lehman Brothers, Inc. estate.

The increase in professional fees is due primarily to fees related to the use of consultants to assist the Company in preparing its capital stress tests and capital plan as well as the use of consultants to supplement staffing during the pendency of the Merger.

The Bank had two collateralized borrowings in the form of repurchase agreements totaling $100.0 million with Lehman Brothers, Inc. that were secured by mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of approximately $114.1 million. The trustee for the liquidation of Lehman Brothers, Inc. (the “Trustee”) notified the Bank in the fourth quarter of 2011 that it considered our claim to be a non-customer claim, which has a lower payment preference than a customer claim and that the value of such claim is approximately $13.9 million representing the excess of the fair value of the collateral over the $100.0 million repurchase price. At that time we established a reserve of $3.9 million against the receivable balance at December 31, 2011. On June 25, 2013, the Bankruptcy Court affirmed the Trustee’s determination that the repurchase agreements did not entitle the Bank to customer status and on February 26, 2014, the U.S. District Court upheld the Bankruptcy Court’s decision that our claim should be treated as a non-customer claim. As a result, we increased our reserve by $3.0 million to $6.9 million against the receivable balance during the first quarter of 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, the Bank received a partial payment on our non-customer claim of $2.4 million reducing the claim amount to $4.5 million as of September 30, 2014.

Included in other non-interest expense were net gains of $2.7 million resulting from write-downs on foreclosed real estate and net gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a net gain of $753,000 for the comparable period in 2013. We sold 185 properties during the first nine months of 2014 as compared to 152 properties for the same period in 2013. Expenses associated with foreclosed real estate were $13.6 million and $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
