HUDSON VALLEY HOLDING CORP. ANNOUNCES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2014

— Company delivers solid performance for the quarter —

— Net-interest income and margin improvement driven by continued liquidity deployment —

— Declares cash dividend of $0.08 per share —

YONKERS, N.Y. – October 27, 2014 – Hudson Valley Holding Corp. (NYSE: HVB) reported solid third quarter 2014 earnings, benefiting from continued liquidity deployment and margin improvement.

The parent company of Hudson Valley Bank earned $3.3 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2014, and $2.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2013.

“We are pleased that our ongoing efforts to deploy liquidity translated into enhanced profitability and improvement in our net-interest margin,” President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen R. Brown said.

Balance Sheet
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $341.1 million at September 30, 2014, decreasing 32.8 percent during the third quarter and 51.2 percent from December 31, 2013. Cash and cash equivalents totaled 10.9 percent of total assets at September 30, 2014 as compared to 15.7 percent in the linked quarter and 23.3 percent at December 31, 2013.

Investment securities totaled $847.3 million at September 30, 2014, increasing 0.3 percent during the third quarter and 54.5 percent from December 31, 2013. As previously reported the Company purchased $304 million of high quality instruments in June 2014. The contribution to earnings, from this purchase, is fully reflected in third quarter 2014 interest income.

Net loans totaled $1.80 billion at September 30, 2014, increasing 3.3 percent during the third quarter of 2014 and 12.1 percent from December 31, 2013.

Commercial and industrial loans of $318.3 million represented 17.4 percent of total loans at both September 30, 2014 and at the end of the linked quarter compared to 16.2 percent at the end of the year-ago quarter.

Loans secured by 1-4 family residential mortgages of $289.4 million at September 30, 2014, represented 15.8 percent of total loans, compared to 17.1 percent at the end of the linked quarter and 18.3 percent at the end of the year-ago quarter.

Deposits totaled $2.8 billion at September 30, 2014, decreasing 3.2 percent during the third quarter and increasing 5.1 percent from December 31, 2013.

Core deposits represented 97 percent of total deposits at the end of the third quarter of 2014, unchanged from the second quarter of 2014. Core deposits, which exclude time deposits greater than $100,000, totaled $2.7 billion at September 30, 2014, compared to $2.5 billion at both December 31, 2013, and September 30, 2013.

Portfolio Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets (NPAs), which include non-accrual loans, accruing loans delinquent over 90 days and other real estate owned (OREO), were $27.0 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $20.5 million at June 30, 2014, $23.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $34.0 million at September 30, 2013. The increase in the quarter ended September 30, 2014 resulted from the transfer of a commercial real estate relationship totaling $9.2 million to non-accrual status. NPAs totaled 0.87 percent of total assets at September 30, 2014, compared to 0.78 percent at December 31, 2013 and 1.12 percent at September 30, 2013.

Net charge-offs were $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $0.1 million in the linked quarter and $0.8 million in the year-ago quarter. As a percentage of average loans, annualized net charge-offs were 0.05 percent for the third quarter of 2014, 0.02 percent in the linked quarter, and 0.23 percent in the year-ago quarter.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $27.7 million at September 30, 2014 compared to $26.0 million at December 31, 2013 and $25.9 million at September 30, 2013. The allowance measured 1.52 percent, 1.59 percent and 1.64 percent of total loans at each of those dates, respectively.

Classified assets at September 30, 2014 represented 19.1 percent of Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses, compared to 20.7 percent at December 31, 2013 and 29.1 percent at September 30, 2013.

The Company’s provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2014 was $0.7 million, compared to $0.5 million in the linked quarter and $0.8 million in the year-ago quarter.

Revenues and Margin
Net interest income was $23.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $22.1 million in the linked quarter and $21.0 million in the year-ago quarter.

The Company’s net interest margin was 3.12 percent in the third quarter of 2014, compared to 3.05 percent in the linked quarter and 2.99 percent in the year-ago quarter. The increase was primarily a result of the Company deploying liquidity into higher yielding assets.

The yield on interest-earning assets averaged 3.28 percent in the third quarter of 2014, compared to 3.22 percent in the linked quarter and 3.19 percent in the year-ago quarter. The average cost of deposits remained at 0.17 percent in both the third quarter of 2014 and the linked quarter, and 0.18 percent in the year-ago quarter.

Non-interest income was $4.0 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $3.9 million for the linked quarter, and $4.2 million in the year-ago quarter.

Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2014 was $22.2 million, compared to $22.1 million in the linked quarter and $21.5 million in the year-ago quarter. Expense savings achieved in 2013 through the elimination of non-profitable operations, have been reinvested into the asset based lending and equipment financing units. Salaries and employee benefits expense was $12.6 million in the third quarter of 2014, compared to $12.7 million in the linked quarter and $11.2 million in the year-ago quarter. We believe any incremental increases in non-interest expense will be business development related.

Quarterly Cash Dividend and Capital Management
The Company’s board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share, payable on November 14, 2014, to all common stock shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 7, 2014.

At September 30, 2014, the Company maintained a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.6 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.3 percent, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.1 percent. Its Hudson Valley Bank subsidiary at September 30, 2014 maintained a total risk-based capital ratio of 15.3 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 14.0 percent, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.8 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures and Reconciliation to GAAP
In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management routinely supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the tangible equity ratio and tangible book value per share. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Hudson Valley Holding Corp.’s underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other banks. Further, the tangible equity ratio and tangible book value per share are used by management to analyze the relative strength of Hudson Valley Holding Corp.’s capital position.

In light of diversity in presentation among financial institutions, the methodologies used by Hudson Valley Holding Corp. for determining the non-GAAP financial measures discussed above may differ from those used by other financial institutions.

(1) Excludes unrealized gains (losses) on securities available for sale. Management believes that this presentation more closely reflects actual performance, as it is more consistent with the Company’s stated asset/liability management strategies, which have not resulted in significant realization of temporary market gains or losses on securities available for sale which were primarily related to changes in interest rates. Effects of these adjustments are presented in the table below.

(1) Adjusted total average interest earning assets, net interest earnings, net yield on average interest earning assets and average stockholders’ equity exclude the effects of unrealized net gains and losses on securities available for sale. These are non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes that this alternate presentation more closely reflects actual performance, as it is more consistent with the Company’s stated asset/liability management strategies which have not resulted in significant realization of temporary market gains or losses on securities available for sale which were primarily related to changes in interest rates. As noted in the Company’s 2014 Proxy Statement, net income as a percentage of adjusted average stockholders’ equity is one of several factors utilized by management to determine total compensation.
(2) Tangible equity ratio and tangible book value for share are non-GAAP financial measurements. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding the Company’s underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other banks and are used by management to analyze the relative strength of the Company’s capital position.
