HUDSON CITY BANCORP, INC. REPORTS QUARTERLY EARNINGS OF $39.1 MILLION
DECLARED QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND OF $0.04 PER SHARE
Paramus, New Jersey, January 28, 2015 - Hudson City Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: HCBK) (the “Company”), the holding company for Hudson City Savings Bank (the “Bank”), reported today net income of $39.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 as compared to net income of $45.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.08 for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.09 for the fourth quarter of 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported net income of $158.0 million as compared to net income of $185.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.32 for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.37 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The Company also reported today that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share payable on March 2, 2015 to shareholders of record on February 13, 2015.
Financial highlights for the fourth quarter of 2014 are as follows:
| • | The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio increased to 11.74% at December 31, 2014 as compared to 10.82% at December 31, 2013. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio increased to 28.75% at December 31, 2014 as compared to 25.31% at December 31, 2013. |
| • | Non-performing loans decreased $197.2 million to $852.0 million at December 31, 2014 as compared to $1.05 billion at December 31, 2013 due in part to the sale of a pool of $112.1 million of non-performing residential mortgage loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (“FHA”) during the third quarter of 2014. Early stage loan delinquencies (defined as loans that are 30 to 89 days delinquent) decreased $65.8 million to $407.6 million at December 31, 2014 from $473.4 million at December 31, 2013. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans decreased to 0.16% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 0.25% for 2013. |
| • | During 2014 the Bank began to purchase commercial real estate loans and commercial real estate loan participations which is one of the initiatives in the Company’s strategic plan. During 2014, the Bank originated $86.0 million of such loans. |
| • | Gains on the sales of mortgage-backed securities amounted to $45.9 million and $103.7 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to $11.1 million and $28.9 million for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively. |
| • | FDIC expense decreased $23.7 million to $49.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $73.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. |

| • | Our interest rate spread and net interest margin were 0.70% and 1.01%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to 1.20% and 1.47%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2013. For the linked third quarter of 2014, our interest rate spread and net interest margin were 0.88% and 1.18%, respectively. |
| • | Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits increased $1.97 billion to $6.16 billion at December 31, 2014 from $4.19 billion at December 31, 2013. |
| • | Total deposits decreased $2.09 billion, or 9.7%, to $19.38 billion at December 31, 2014 from $21.47 billion at December 31, 2013 due to our decision to maintain lower deposit rates. This allowed us to manage deposit levels 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 $2.04 billion, or 5.3%, to $36.57 billion at December 31, 2014 from $38.61 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease in total assets reflected a $4.71 billion decrease in total mortgage-backed securities and a $2.51 billion decrease in net loans, partially offset by a $3.31 billion increase in investment securities and a $1.97 billion increase in cash and cash equivalents.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $1.97 billion to $6.29 billion at December 31, 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 manage deposit levels at a time when there are limited investment opportunities. Accordingly, we have used a portion of our excess cash inflows to fund these deposit reductions.
Net loans decreased to $21.43 billion at December 31, 2014 as compared to $23.94 billion at December 31, 2013 due primarily to a decrease in loan production. During 2014, our loan production (originations and purchases) amounted to $1.40 billion as compared to $3.59 billion for 2013. Loan production was offset by principal repayments of $3.79 billion in 2014, as compared to principal repayments of $6.39 billion in 2013. The decline in loan production in 2014 as compared to 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”) in January 2014. 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. The decrease in loan repayments was due primarily to reduced refinancing activity.
Total mortgage-backed securities decreased $4.71 billion to $4.24 billion at December 31, 2014 from $8.95 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease was due primarily to securities sales of $3.31 billion and repayments of $1.43 billion of mortgage-backed securities during 2014. We sold mortgage-backed securities during 2014 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 balance sheet restructuring.

Total investment securities increased $3.31 billion to $3.65 billion at December 31, 2014 as compared to $336.3 million at December 31, 2013. The increase was due primarily to purchases of $3.30 billion of U.S. Treasury securities with an average life of 1.2 years which are used as collateral for our outstanding borrowings.
Total liabilities decreased $2.01 billion, or 6.1%, to $31.79 billion at December 31, 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 $38.8 million to $4.78 billion at December 31, 2014 as compared to $4.74 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to net income of $158.0 million partially offset by cash dividends paid to common shareholders of $80.2 million and a change in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $56.7 million. At December 31, 2014, our consolidated shareholders’ equity to asset ratio was 13.08% and our tangible book value per share was $9.27.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to $50.4 million at December 31, 2014 and included a $68.7 million after-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the funded status of our employee benefit plans partially offset by a $18.3 million after-tax net unrealized gain on securities available for sale ($30.9 million pre-tax). Accumulated other comprehensive income amounted to $6.3 million at December 31, 2013 and included a $33.9 million after-tax net unrealized gain on securities available for sale ($57.2 million pre-tax) partially offset by a $27.6 million after-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the funded status of our employee benefit plans. The increase in 2014 in the accumulated other comprehensive loss on our benefit plans was primarily due to a change in the mortality tables and a decrease in the discount rate.
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 indicators were mixed but on balance showed further improvement. However, the unemployment rate was little changed during the fourth quarter 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 slowed somewhat. The national unemployment rate decreased to 5.6% in December 2014 from 6.7% in December 2013 and from 5.9% in September 2014. The FOMC decided to maintain the overnight lending target rate at zero to 0.25% during the fourth quarter of 2014.
The FOMC is maintaining its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities and of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. The FOMC believes this policy of keeping holdings of longer-term securities at sizable levels should help maintain accommodative financial conditions.
Net interest income decreased $48.7 million, or 35.8%, to $87.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $135.9 million for the fourth 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 0.70% for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to 0.88% for the linked third quarter of 2014 and 1.20% for the fourth quarter of 2013. Our net interest margin was 1.01% for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to 1.18% for the linked third quarter of 2014 and 1.47% for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Page 3
Net interest income decreased $170.4 million, or 27.8%, to $442.1 million for 2014 as compared to $612.5 million for 2013. Our interest rate spread decreased 42 basis points to 0.90% for 2014 as compared to 1.32% for 2013. Our net interest margin decreased 39 basis points to 1.20% for 2014 as compared to 1.59% for 2013. The decrease in our interest rate spread and net interest margin for 2014 was 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 investment securities which yielded 0.25% and 0.64%, respectively during 2014.
Total interest and dividend income for the fourth quarter of 2014 decreased $52.9 million, or 16.5%, to $268.4 million from $321.3 million for the fourth 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 fourth quarter of 2014 to $36.02 billion from $37.93 billion for the fourth 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 fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to the fourth 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 2.98% for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to 3.39% for the fourth 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 $2.40 billion increase in investment securities with an annualized weighted average yield of 0.48% and an increase of $1.73 billion in the average balance of Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits to $5.59 billion with an average yield of 0.25% during the fourth quarter of 2014.
Total interest and dividend income for 2014 decreased $193.5 million, or 14.2%, to $1.17 billion from $1.36 billion for 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 $1.85 billion, or 4.8%, to $36.79 billion for 2014 from $38.64 billion for 2013. The decrease in total interest and dividend income was also due to a decrease of 35 basis points in the weighted-average yield on total interest-earning assets to 3.17% for 2014 from 3.52% for 2013.
Interest on first mortgage loans decreased $34.1 million, or 13.2%, to $225.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $259.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease in interest on first mortgage loans was primarily due to a $2.38 billion decrease in the average balance of first mortgage loans to $21.57 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $23.95 billion for the fourth quarter in 2013. The decrease in interest income on first mortgage loans was also due to a 15 basis point decrease in the annualized weighted-average yield to 4.18% for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 4.33% for the fourth quarter of 2013.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, interest on first mortgage loans decreased $136.8 million, or 12.4%, to $967.1 million from $1.10 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was primarily due to a $2.29 billion decrease in the average balance of first mortgage loans to $22.63 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $24.92 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in interest income on mortgage loans was also due to a 16 basis point decrease in the weighted-average yield to 4.27% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 4.43% for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Page 4
The decrease in the average yield earned on first mortgage loans during the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 was due primarily to repayments of higher-yielding loans. Consequently, the average yield on our loan portfolio continued to decline during 2014.
Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $21.3 million to $30.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $52.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. This decrease was due primarily to a $3.60 billion decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $5.61 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $9.21 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease was also due to a decrease of 7 basis points in the annualized weighted-average yield of mortgage-backed securities to 2.19% for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to 2.26% for fourth quarter of 2013.
Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $60.7 million to $155.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $216.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was due primarily to a $2.71 billion decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $7.08 billion for 2014 from $9.79 billion for 2013. The decrease was also due to a slight decrease in the weighted-average yield of mortgage-backed securities to 2.20% for year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 2.21% for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities during the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 was due to sales of mortgage-backed securities and principal repayments. During 2014, we sold $3.31 billion of mortgage-backed securities to realize gains that otherwise would decrease as market interest rates increase and as repayments reduce the outstanding principal balance on these securities.
Interest on investment securities increased $1.9 million to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. This increase was due primarily to a $2.40 billion increase in the average balance of investment securities to $2.74 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $344.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. This was partially offset by a decrease in the annualized weighted-average yield to 0.48% for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 1.62% for the fourth quarter of 2013.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, interest on investment securities decreased $134,000 to $8.5 million as compared to $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was due to a decrease of 144 basis points in the weighted-average yield to 0.64% for 2014 from 2.08% for 2013. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $920.3 million in the average balance of investment securities to $1.34 billion for 2014 as compared to $415.2 million for 2013.
The increase in the average balance of investment securities during the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 was due to the purchase of $3.30 billion of U.S. Treasury securities during 2014. The decrease in the average yield earned on investment securities during this same period is due to the yield earned on these U.S. Treasury securities purchased which was 0.29%.
Interest on Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits amounted to $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $2.7 million for the fourth 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 $5.59 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $3.86 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013. The yield earned on Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits was 0.25% for the 2014 fourth quarter and 0.28% for the 2013 fourth quarter.
Page 5
Interest on Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits increased to $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 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 $5.20 billion for 2014 as compared to $2.93 billion for 2013. The yield earned on Federal funds and other overnight deposits was 0.25% for both 2014 and 2013.
The increase in the average balance of Federal funds sold and other overnight deposits for the three months and year ended December 31, 2014 was due primarily to the reinvestment of cash flows from repayments and sales of mortgage-related assets, reflecting 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 December 31, 2014 decreased $4.2 million, or 2.3%, to $181.2 million from $185.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.07 billion decrease in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities to $31.17 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 from $33.24 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. This was offset by an increase in the annualized weighted-average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities, which was 2.28% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 2.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 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 year ended December 31, 2014, total interest expense decreased $23.1 million, or 3.1%, to $725.6 million from $748.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.09 billion, or 6.1%, decrease in the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities to $31.99 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with $34.08 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was partially offset by an increase in the weighted-average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities to 2.27% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to 2.20% for the year ended December 31, 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 months and year ended December 31, 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 61% and 62% of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to 63% and 64% for the same respective periods in 2013.
Interest expense on deposits decreased $4.2 million, or 9.9%, to $38.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $42.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The decrease is primarily due to a $2.07 billion decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $18.99 billion for the fourth quarter of 2014 from $21.06 billion for the fourth quarter of 2013. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits remained the same at 0.80% for both the fourth quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, interest expense on deposits decreased $23.2 million, or 12.7%, to $159.2 million from $182.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease is due primarily to a decrease of $2.10 billion in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $19.81 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $21.91 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease is also due to a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits of 3 basis points to 0.80% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 0.83% for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in the average cost of deposits for 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 amounted to $142.8 million for both the fourth quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2014 interest expense on borrowed funds was substantially unchanged at $566.4 million as compared to $566.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The average cost of borrowed funds was 4.59% for both the three months ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and 4.65% for both the year ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The average balance of borrowings was unchanged for both comparative periods.
Borrowings amounted to $12.18 billion at December 31, 2014 with an average cost of 4.59%. There is one borrowing scheduled to mature in the fourth quarter of 2015 for $75.0 million with an average cost of 4.62%.
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.
There was no provision for loan losses for both the fourth quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2013. The provision for loan losses was a net credit provision of $3.5 million for 2014 as compared to a provision for loan losses of $36.5 million for 2013. The net credit provision for loan losses in 2014 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 $852.0 million at December 31, 2014 as compared to $1.05 billion at December 31, 2013 and $859.8 million at September 30, 2014. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 3.95% at December 31, 2014 as compared to 4.35% at December 31, 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 70.0% 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 $278.5 million at December 31, 2014 as compared to $311.9 million at December 31, 2013 and $295.7 million at September 30, 2014. Loans delinquent 60 to 89 days amounted to $129.1 million at December 31, 2014 as compared to $161.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $137.8 million at September 30, 2014.
The allowance for loan losses amounted to $235.3 million at December 31, 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 27.62%, respectively, at December 31, 2014, as compared to 1.15% and 26.31%, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 1.09% and 28.17%, respectively, at September 30, 2014.

Net charge-offs amounted to $6.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $14.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013 and $9.3 million for the linked third quarter of 2014. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.13% for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to 0.24% for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 0.17% for the third quarter of 2014.
Total non-interest income was $47.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $13.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Included in non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2014 were $45.9 million in gains from the sale of $1.68 billion of mortgage-backed securities. Gains on the sales of securities amounted to $11.1 million in the fourth 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 $110.4 million for 2014 as compared to $39.1 million for 2013. Included in non-interest income for the year 2014 were $103.7 million in gains from the sale of $3.31 billion of mortgage-backed securities. Gains on the sales of securities amounted to $28.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
We sold these mortgage-backed securities during 2014 to realize gains that would otherwise decrease as market interest rates increase and as repayments reduce the outstanding principal balance.
Total non-interest expense decreased $3.3 million to $70.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $73.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. This decrease was due primarily to a $3.1 million decrease in compensation and employee benefits.
Compensation and employee benefit costs decreased $3.1 million, or 9.2%, to $30.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to $33.7 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in compensation and employee benefit costs is primarily due to a $2.2 million decrease in compensation expense and a $1.1 million decrease in postretirement benefit costs. At December 31, 2014, we had 1,507 full-time equivalent employees as compared to 1,520 at December 30, 2013.
Other non-interest expense decreased $635,000 to $19.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $19.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. This decrease was due primarily to decreases of $1.6 million in professional fees, partially offset by an increase of $804,000 in foreclosed real estate expenses.
Total non-interest expense amounted to $293.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $309.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The primary reason for the decrease in total non-interest expense was a $23.7 million decrease in FDIC assessments. In addition, compensation and benefits decreased $3.4 million. These decreases were partially offset by a $9.5 million increase in other non-interest expense.
For the year ended December 31, 2014 Federal deposit insurance expense decreased $23.7 million, or 32.2%, to $49.8 million from $73.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in the size of our balance sheet and a decrease in our assessment rate.
Compensation and employee benefit costs decreased $3.4 million to $129.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $132.7 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in compensation and employee benefit costs is primarily due to decreases of $6.1 million in compensation expense and $5.3 million in pension plan expense. The decreases were partially offset by increases of $4.1 million in medical plan expenses and $3.4 million in stock benefit plan expense.

Other non-interest expense increased $9.5 million to $76.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $66.9 million for 2013. This increase was due primarily to a $3.0 million increase in the valuation allowance related to the Lehman Brothers, Inc. liquidation, a $4.1 million increase in foreclosed real estate expense and a $3.9 million increase in professional fees. These increases were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in the net gain on the sale of foreclosed properties.
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 with M&T Bank Corporation (the “Merger”).
Included in other non-interest expense were net gains of $3.2 million resulting from foreclosed real estate transactions for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to a net gain of $1.7 million for the comparable period in 2013. We sold 241 properties during 2014 as compared to 207 properties for the same period in 2013. Expenses associated with foreclosed real estate were $18.6 million and $14.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Our efficiency ratio was 51.60% for the 2014 fourth quarter as compared to 48.77% for the 2013 fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2014, our efficiency ratio was 52.90% compared with 47.44% for the corresponding 2013 period. The calculation of the efficiency ratio is included in a table contained in this press release. Our return on average assets was 0.42% for the 2014 fourth quarter as compared to 0.47% for the 2013 fourth quarter. Our annualized ratio of non-interest expense to average total assets was 0.76% for both the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2013. Our ratio of non-interest expense to average total assets was 0.78% for both the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Income tax expense amounted to $25.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 as compared to income tax expense of $30.1 million for the corresponding period in 2013. Our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 39.35% compared with 39.62% for the fourth quarter of 2013. Income tax expense amounted to $105.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared with income tax expense of $120.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 39.94% compared with 39.33% for the year ended December 31, 2013.
