Clifton Bancorp Inc. Announces
 Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended September 30, 2014
 
Clifton, New Jersey – November 3, 2014 -- Clifton Bancorp Inc. (NasdaqGS: CSBK), the holding company for Clifton Savings Bank, today announced results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2014.  Net income for the second quarter was $1.48 million ($0.06 per diluted share).  This compares to net income of $1.41 million ($0.05 per diluted share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2014 was $3.10 million ($0.12 per diluted share) as compared to $3.15 million ($0.12 per diluted share) for the same period in 2013.

Notable Items
 
We achieved steady earnings in tandem with increased investment in our core business;
Nonperforming loans to total gross loans decreased to 0.73% at September 30, 2014, our lowest level since December 31, 2011;
Net loans increased 1.0% and 5.6% for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

           Paul M. Aguggia, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We achieved steady earnings during a time of ongoing strategic investments in our core business and intense competition. Despite competitive pressures, we continue to grow our loan portfolio, especially multi-family and commercial real estate loans.  We are also pleased to announce the completion of our core system conversion on October 14, 2014.  As a result of this major initiative, we are poised to offer additional products and services to customers and potential customers.  We anticipate the expenses incurred to complete the conversion will continue into the third quarter but come in close to the previously disclosed estimated expense of $600,000, as our team made cost control an important priority from the onset. We believe that leveraging our capital prudently, and investing in our core business, while maintaining pristine asset quality and expense discipline, are the cornerstones of building stockholder value.”

 Review of Balance Sheet and Credit Quality
 
           Clifton Bancorp’s total assets decreased $54.5 million, or 4.3%, to $1.21 billion at September 30, 2014, from $1.27 billion at March 31, 2014. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to the decision to use excess liquidity to pay down borrowings and manage its cost of funds and deposits by allowing certain promotional rates to expire. In addition, the stock subscription deposits received in connection with the second-step conversion were reflected in total assets at March 31, 2014.
 
           Net loans increased $32.5 million, or 5.6%, to $617.0 million at September 30, 2014 from $584.5 million at March 31, 2014.  One- to four-family loans increased $12.1 million, or 2.3%, while multi-family and commercial real estate loans increased $20.8 million, or 44.4%, for the period.  Securities, including both available for sale and held to maturity issues, increased $32.3 million, or 7.6%, to $454.6 million at September 30, 2014 from $422.3 million at March 31, 2014, primarily as a result of deployment of cash received in the second step conversion. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $117.6 million, or 61.1%, to $75.0 million at September 30, 2014 from $192.6 million at March 31, 2014, because of the inclusion of stock subscription deposits of $154.3 million at March 31, 2014.  Cash and cash equivalents were redeployed into higher- yielding assets following the completion of the second-step conversion.
 
           Deposits decreased $32.8 million, or 4.3%, to $731.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $763.9 million at March 31, 2014, mainly due to the withdrawal of monies previously received from a promotional rate passbook account. In addition, $5.9 million in deposits outstanding on March 31, 2014 were used to purchase stock in the second-step conversion.  Borrowed funds decreased $30.0 million, or 21.1%, to $112.5 million at September 30, 2014 from $142.5 million at March 31, 2014, as two borrowings were repaid in accordance with their original terms during the period. The average rate of outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2014 was 2.01% at an average term of 24 months. All outstanding borrowings are with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
 
 
 
 

 
            Total stockholders’ equity increased $163.6 million, or 84.2%, to $357.7 million at September 30, 2014 from $194.1 million at March 31, 2014. The increase resulted primarily from net proceeds from the second-step conversion of $163.2 million, and net income of $3.1 million, partially offset by cash dividends paid of $4.5 million.
 
           Non-accrual loans decreased $623,000, or 12.1%, to $4.5 million at September 30, 2014 from $5.1 million at March 31, 2014.  Included in non-accrual loans at September 30, 2014 were nine loans totaling $1.8 million that were current or less than 90 days delinquent but which were previously 90 days or more delinquent and on a non-accrual status until there is a sustained period of repayment performance (generally six months).  The percentage of nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 0.73% at September 30, 2014, from 0.88% at March 31, 2014. This percentage is the lowest since December 31, 2011. The percentage of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans increased to 72.08% at September 30, 2014 from 59.84% at March 31, 2014.
 
            During the six months ended September 30, 2014, net charge-offs totaled $260,000 as compared to $86,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2013.  For the six months ended September 30, 2014, there were charge-offs on four one- to four-family residential real estate loans.  For the 2013 period, the charge-offs related to two one- to four-family residential real estate loans, net of a partial recovery from a private mortgage insurance claim on a loan charged-off in a previous quarter.

Income Statement Review
 
           Net interest income increased $786,000, or 13.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014, to $6.58 million, as compared to $5.80 million for three months ended September 30, 2013, reflecting an increase of $131.6 million in average net interest-earning assets coupled with an increase of 1 basis point in net interest margin.  Average interest-earning assets increased $128.8 million, or 12.9%, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, which consisted of increases of $91.9 million in loans, $19.1 million in investment securities, and $33.5 million in other interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease of $15.7 million in mortgage-backed securities. The average balance of loans increased as the Bank continues to emphasize the growth of its loan portfolio (through originations, as supplemented by purchases) while repayment levels declined as fewer borrowers sought to refinance. Investment securities increased with the deployment of second-step conversion proceeds into higher-yielding agency and municipal securities. Other interest-earning assets increased as some funds received from the second-step conversion remained in cash and cash equivalents. Mortgage-backed securities decreased due to principal repayments of securities exceeding purchases as funds were redeployed into loans and other investment securities. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $2.8 million, or 0.3%, during the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of a decrease of $51.5 million in deposits partially offset by an increase of $48.7 million in borrowings, mostly originated in late 2013, which were used primarily to fund loan growth.
 
         Net interest income increased $1.5 million, or 13.2%, for the six months ended September 30, 2014, to $12.98 million, as compared to $11.47 million for six months ended September 30, 2013, reflecting an increase of $106.2 million in average net interest-earning assets coupled with an increase of 1 basis point in net interest margin.  Average interest-earning assets increased $127.9 million, or 13.1%, during the six months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2013, which consisted of increases of $107.0 million in loans, $14.5 million in investment securities, and $31.9 million in other interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease of $25.5 million in mortgage-backed securities. The average balance of loans increased as the Bank continues to emphasize the growth of its loan portfolio (through loan originations, as supplemented by purchased loans) while repayment levels declined as fewer borrowers sought to refinance. Investment securities increased with the deployment of second step conversion proceeds into higher-yielding agency and municipal securities. Other interest-earning assets increased as some funds received from the second-step conversion remained in cash and cash equivalents. Mortgage-backed securities decreased due to principal repayments of securities exceeding purchases as funds were redeployed into loans and other investment securities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $21.7 million, or 2.6%, during the six months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of an increase of $62.1 million in borrowings, mostly originated in late 2013, which were used primarily to fund loan growth, partially offset by a decrease of $40.4 million in deposits.
 
        The provision for loan losses decreased $55,000, or 15.5%, to $301,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $356,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and $97,000, or 18.1%, to $439,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $536,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2013. The decreases in the provision for loan losses for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2014 were mainly the result of more favorable trends in qualitative factors for delinquencies included in the periodic review of the general valuation allowance.  During the periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, there also were normal recurring adjustments made to the historical loss and other qualitative factor components of the Bank’s general valuation allowance.
 
           Non-interest income increased $153,000, or 47.7%, to $474,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $321,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was mainly due to a $102,000 gain on sale of available for sale securities being included in the 2014 period. Non-interest income decreased $382,000, or 31.7%, to $822,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $1.20 million for the six months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was mainly due to the inclusion of $464,000 of additional gains on sale of securities being included in the 2013 period.
 
 
 
 

 
           Non-interest expenses increased $908,000, or 25.1%, to $4.53 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $3.62 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and $1.37 million, or 18.8%, to $8.67 million for the six months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $7.30 million for the same 2013 period.  The increases  for the three- and six-month periods were primarily the result of increases of $385,000, or 18.9%,  and $761,000, or 18.6%, respectively, in salaries and employee benefits,  $150,000, or 49.2%, and  $146,000, or 23.9%, respectively, in equipment expense, $162,000, or 76.8%, and $146,000, or 33.3%, respectively, in directors compensation, and $209,000, or 45.2%,  and $280,000, or 30.7%, respectively, in other miscellaneous expenses. The increases in salaries and employee benefits in the 2014 periods were mainly due to an increase in costs associated with the transition and expansion of our management team, along with normal annual salary and benefit expense increases, including an increase of $172,000 and $329,000, respectively, in employee stock ownership plan expense for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2014. The increases in equipment expense for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2014 were related to $166,000 in expenditures associated with a core processor change, while the increases in directors’ compensation related to a charge recorded as a result of a lump sum payment from the directors’ retirement plan. Miscellaneous expenses include typical annual increases in operational expenses, as well as expenses associated with consultants and new investments in the Bank’s core business, and $140,000 in core processor change related expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 2014.
