·     Loan growth of 32% for 2014, with loans exceeding $1.3 billion at year end.

·     Deposits of $1.83 billion at year end, a 19% increase compared to 2013.

·     Continued solid asset quality metrics and reserve coverage.

·     Announced agreement to acquire Community National Bank in December 2014 and completed the acquisition of FNBNY Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary, the First National Bank of New York (collectively “FNBNY”) in February 2014.

“2014 represented a year of significant accomplishments for BNB. We successfully completed the acquisition and integration of FNBNY in February 2014, increasing our franchise’s scale and extending our footprint into Nassau County. We also opened 3 new branches in Suffolk County: Bay Shore, Port Jefferson and Smithtown. Through acquisition and organic growth, we eclipsed $2.2 billion in assets, with $1.3 billion in loans and $1.8

billion in deposits. Our strong financial performance continued with record levels of revenues and net income,” commented Kevin M. O’Connor, President and CEO of Bridge Bancorp, Inc.

“In December 2014, we announced the agreement to acquire Community National Bank (“CNB”), with 11 branches in Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Manhattan and total assets of $945 million, including $750 million in loans and deposits of $826 million. We are enthusiastic about this acquisition as it continues our expansion into the prosperous lending markets of Nassau County and New York City, further accelerating our growth and enhancing our profitability. Following the acquisition, we will be one of the largest community banks operating on Long Island with $3.2 billion in assets, $2.6 billion in deposits and 40 branches serving the greater New York metropolitan area,” noted  Mr. O’Connor.

Net Earnings and Returns

Net income for this quarter was $4.2 million or $.36 per share, while core net income was $4.9 million or $.42 per share, a 31% increase compared to $3.7 million or $.33 per share, for the same period in 2013. Net income for 2014 was $13.8 million or $1.18 per share, while core net income was $18.3 million or $1.57 per share, a 40% increase compared to $13.0 million or $1.35 per share in 2013. Core net income reflects the quarterly and annual results adjusted for certain costs, net of tax, related to the completed FNBNY acquisition and the recently announced CNB acquisition as well as net securities gains and losses, and first quarter 2014 branch reconstructing cost. Rising net income reflects the growth in earning assets generating higher levels of net interest income, offsetting increases in operating expenses.  Returns on average assets and equity for 2014 were .64% and 7.76%, respectively, while core returns on average assets and equity were .85% and 10.31%, respectively.

Interest income grew in 2014 as average earning assets increased by 25% or $396.4 million, and the net interest margin increased to 3.41% from 3.24%. Net interest margin increased in the fourth quarter to 3.36% from 3.25% in the fourth quarter of 2013. This improvement was primarily attributable to the positive impact of increased loan demand, higher deposit balances, higher yields on securities and lower cost of funds.

The provision for loan losses was $.5 million for the quarter, $.2 million lower than the 2013 fourth quarter. For 2014, the provision was $2.2 million, a decrease of $.2 million from 2013. The Company realized net recoveries of $.1 million for the 2014 fourth quarter, compared to net charge-offs of $.2 million in the 2013 fourth quarter and $.6 million of net charge-offs for 2014, a decrease from $.8 million in 2013.  These declines reflect an improving economy, increasing collateral values and stable asset quality trends.

Total non-interest income increased $.3 million for the fourth quarter due to a $.4 million increase in other non interest income, partially offset by lower title revenue. During the year, total non-interest income declined $.7 million reflecting $1.7 million less in net securities gains, partially offset by higher other non-interest income associated with fee income, service charges and BOLI. Non-interest expense for 2014 increased in both the quarter and year due to costs associated with the acquired FNBNY operations, investments in new facilities, including three new branches, enhancements to technology, additional staffing and acquisition costs associated with both the FNBNY and CNB acquisitions.  Although non-interest expense increased in 2014, the Company’s ratio of core operating expenses to average assets decreased to 2.19% from 2.21% in 2013.

“Our record revenues reflect the advantage of the Company’s greater scale. Core deposits generated from an expanding customer base funded the increase in our earning assets and provided capital for businesses and consumers in the communities we serve.  The growth in core net income reflects the positive impact of operating leverage associated with our increased scale. This scale along with our strong, well-capitalized balance sheet enables us to effectively execute our long-term community banking strategy,” stated Mr. O’Connor.

Balance Sheet and Asset Quality

Total assets were $2.3 billion at December 31, 2014, $392 million higher than 2013 and average assets for 2014 increased $448 million or 26%. This growth includes the assets from the FNBNY acquisition. Loans grew $325.1 million to $1.34 billion at December 2014 compared to $1.01 billion at December 2013. The increase in loans was primarily driven by organic loan growth of $260.2 million or 26% over December 2013. Earning asset growth continues to be funded principally by deposits, which increased $294.7 million or 19% to $1.83 billion at December 2014. Demand deposits totaled $703.1 million, $120.2 million or 21% higher than December 2013.

Asset quality measures remained strong as non-performing assets were $1.2 million or .05% of total assets at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $4.9 million from $6.1 million at December 31, 2013.  Non-performing loans of $1.2 million represent .09% of total loans, compared to $3.8 million or .38% at December 31, 2013. Loans 30 to 89 days past due decreased $0.2 million to $1.3 million at December 31, 2014 from $1.5 million at December 31, 2013.

The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio includes the FNBNY acquired loans, recorded at their fair value, effectively netting estimated future losses against those loan balances. The allowance for loan losses increased $1.6 million to $17.6 million at December 31, 2014 from $16.0 million as of December 2013. The allowance as a percentage of BNB originated loans was 1.39% at December 2014, compared to 1.58% at December 2013. These declines reflect an improving economy, increasing collateral values, and improving asset quality trends.

Stockholders’ equity grew $15.7 million to $175.1 million at December 2014, compared to $159.5 million at December 2013.  The growth reflects earnings, as well as the capital raised in connection with the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and an increase in the fair value of available for sale investment securities partially offset by shareholders’ dividends. Overall, Tier 1 Capital increased to $189.5 million, $3.0 million higher than the December 2013 level. The Company’s capital ratios continue to exceed all regulatory minimums and the Bank remains classified as well capitalized.

CNB Acquisition Update

“We are excited about the future CNB acquisition and look forward to welcoming their customers.  We have been working closely with the Board, management and employees of CNB to ensure all our new and future customers benefit from the expanded branch network and our community banking model,” concluded Mr. O’Connor.
