RALEIGH, N.C., October 22, 2015 – Yadkin Financial Corporation (NYSE: YDKN) ("Yadkin" or the "Company"), the parent company of Yadkin Bank, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2015.

"We are very pleased to report strong operating EPS for the third quarter of 2015, driven by record loan production, robust core deposit growth and cost reductions," commented Scott Custer, Yadkin's CEO.

"We also recently announced an agreement to acquire NewBridge Bancorp, a $2.8 billion bank holding company headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina," Mr. Custer continued. "We are obviously excited about the combination of these two high quality organizations. With this proposed merger, Yadkin will become the largest community bank in North Carolina with over $7 billion in assets and a strong statewide presence in every major market. NewBridge also has an attractive customer base, top-notch associates, and a healthy balance sheet. In every way, this acquisition will enhance our ability to be the bank of choice for businesses and consumers throughout our markets."

"Yadkin has positive operating momentum and enjoys a healthy balance sheet with strong capital, asset quality, and liquidity," said Mr. Custer. "We look forward to continued growth in our businesses."

Results of Operations and Asset Quality

3Q 2015 vs. 2Q 2015

Net operating earnings available to common shareholders, which is a non-GAAP metric that excludes securities gains, merger and conversion costs, restructuring charges, and the income tax effect of adjustments, improved to $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $11.9 million in the second quarter of 2015. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings, which also excludes securities gains, merger and conversion costs, and restructuring charges, also improved to $21.4 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Net income available to common shareholders improved to $11.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $10.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2015.

Net interest income was largely flat at $39.3 million in the second and third quarters of 2015. Net interest margin decreased from 4.29 percent in the second quarter of 2015 to 4.19 percent in the third quarter of 2015. Loan growth mostly offset the impact of a declining net interest margin as average loan balances increased by $18.1 million. The Company also increased the average balance of its investment portfolio in the quarter by $24.1 million. Core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of accretion income on net interest income, was 3.77 percent in the third quarter of 2015, unchanged from the second quarter. Similar to its peers, the Company continues to face pricing pressure on loan originations and elevated levels of prepayments on existing loans, both of which weighed on core loan yields.

Net accretion income on acquired loans totaled $3.4 million in the third quarter of 2015, which consisted of $895 thousand of net accretion on purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") loans and $2.5 million of accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans. Net accretion income on acquired loans in the second quarter of 2015 totaled $4.1 million, which included $812 thousand of net accretion on PCI loans and $3.3 million of net accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans. Net accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans included $978 thousand of accelerated accretion due to principal prepayments in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2015.

Provision for loan losses was $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2015, which was an increase from $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2015.The table below summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") for the quarters presented.

The ALLL was $9.0 million, or 0.30 percent of total loans as of September 30, 2015 compared to $8.4 million, or 0.28 percent of total loans, as of June 30, 2015. Adjusted ALLL, which is a non-GAAP metric that includes the ALLL, as well as net acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for acquired loans, declined from 1.88 percent of total loans as of June 30, 2015 to 1.75 percent as of September 30, 2015 due to accretion of fair value discounts.

The provision for loan losses on non-PCI loans increased by $523 thousand in the third quarter of 2015 as the Company increased its reserves on originated loans. Net charge-offs totaled $934 thousand in the third quarter of 2015 compared to $920 thousand in the second quarter of 2015. The annualized net charge-off rate was unchanged at 0.12 percent of average loans in both the second and third quarters of 2015. Provision expense on PCI loans increased by $59 thousand in the third quarter of 2015.








Nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, as a percentage of total loans was 1.25 percent as of September 30, 2015 compared to 1.10 percent as of June 30, 2015. Total nonperforming assets (which include nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets) as a percentage of total assets was 1.12 percent as of September 30, 2015 compared to 1.06 percent as of June 30, 2015.

Non-interest income totaled $10.8 million in both the second and third quarters of 2015. Government-guaranteed, small business lending income, which includes gains on sales of the guaranteed portion of certain U.S. Small Business Administration "SBA" loans as well as servicing fees on previously sold SBA loans, contributed $3.0 million to non-interest income during the third quarter of 2015. Although the Company had the highest level of SBA loan originations in its history, third quarter income represented a $668 thousand decrease on a linked-quarter basis due to the originated product mix (i.e., larger proportion of loans originated under the SBA's 504 program vs. the 7(a) program), lower loan sale premiums, and a larger proportion of multi-funding loans which take longer to sell. Other non-interest income increased from $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2015 to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to a gain on a real estate sale.

Non-interest expense totaled $28.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, which was a decrease from $32.3 million in the second quarter of 2015. The $3.5 million expense decline included a $2.2 million reduction in restructuring charges. Additionally, salaries and employee benefits decreased by $863 thousand in the third quarter of 2015 from the Company's recent restructuring initiatives and a decline in employee incentive accruals. The Company's operating efficiency ratio, which is a non-GAAP metric that excludes securities gains, merger and conversion costs, and restructuring charges, improved from 60.0 percent in the second quarter of 2015 to 57.3 percent in the third quarter of 2015.

Income tax expense totaled $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2015, which was an increase from $6.1 million in the second quarter of 2015. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 40.1 percent in the third quarter of 2015 from 36.1 percent in the second quarter of 2015. The higher effective tax rate reflected a $651 thousand one-time charge to income tax expense in the third quarter of 2015 to account for the revaluation of the Company's state deferred tax assets as the North Carolina state corporate income tax rate will be reduced from 5 percent to 4 percent effective January 1, 2016.

3Q 2015 vs. 3Q 2014

Net operating earnings available to common shareholders, which excludes nonrecurring income and expenses, improved to $12.5 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings, which also excludes nonrecurring income and expenses, also improved to $21.4 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $19.5 million in the third quarter of 2014. Net operating earnings benefited from higher operating non-interest income and lower operating non-interest expense in the quarter.

Net income available to common shareholders improved to $11.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared to $319 thousand, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Statements included in this press release include non-GAAP financial measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables, which provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures. Yadkin management uses non-GAAP financial measures, including: (i) net operating earnings available to common shareholders; (ii) pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings; (iii) operating non-interest expense, (iv) operating efficiency ratio, (v) adjusted allowance for loan losses to loans; and (vi) tangible common equity, in its analysis of the Company's performance. Net operating earnings available to common shareholders excludes the following from net income available to common shareholders: securities gains and losses, a one-time branch sale gain, merger and conversion costs, restructuring charges, income tax expense from the change in future state tax rates, and the income tax effect of adjustments. Pre-tax, pre-provision operating earnings excludes the following from net income: provision for loan losses, income tax expense, securities gains and losses, a one-time branch sale gain, merger and conversion costs, and restructuring charges. Operating non-interest expense excludes merger and conversion costs and restructuring charges from non-interest expense. The operating efficiency ratio excludes a one-time branch sale gain, securities gains and losses, merger and conversion costs, and restructuring charges from the efficiency ratio. Adjusted allowance for loan losses adds net acquisition accounting fair value discounts to the allowance for loan losses. Tangible common equity excludes preferred stock as well as goodwill and other intangible assets, net, from shareholders' equity.

Management believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the ongoing performance of the Company and provide meaningful comparisons to its peers. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors should consider Yadkin performance and financial condition as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when assessing the performance or financial condition of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results or financial condition as reported under GAAP.
