Results of Operations
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
Net income was $14.0 million and $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and September 30, 2014, respectively. Significant variances from the comparable prior year period are as follows: a $4.2 million increase in net interest income, a $623,000 decrease in non-interest income, a $5.6 million increase in non-interest expense, and a $488,000 decrease in income tax expense.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015increased $4.2 million, or 7.5%, primarily due to a $370.3 million, or 14.8%, increase in our average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 19 basis point decrease in our net interest margin to 2.83%. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans outstanding of $533.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in average mortgage-backed securities of $174.8 million. Yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased 10 basis points to 3.51% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from 3.61% for the comparable prior year period. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, included loan prepayment income of $1.7 million, compared to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, also was affected by an increase in interest expense, driven by a $446.3 million, or 25.2%, increase in our average interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased five basis points to 0.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 0.83% for the comparable prior year period, resulting from an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower rates on borrowed funds.
 
The provision for loan losses decreased by $116,000 to $472,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $588,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to an improvement in asset quality indicators and stable economic and business conditions, whereas the prior year period included the reversal of previously recorded impairments in the Company's purchased credit-impaired (PCI) portfolio. Net charge-offs were $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to net charge-offs of $348,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increased level of charge-offs is primarily related to recoveries recorded in 2014 and to five previously impaired loans to one borrower that were restructured during the first quarter of 2015. These loans had existing specific reserves associated with them that adequately covered the charge-offs, resulting in no material effect on the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, the balance of the restructured loan was $6.0 million, with a related specific reserve of $542,000.

Non-interest income decreased $623,000, or 9.7%, to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to decreases in fees and service charges for customer services of $94,000, income on bank owned life insurance of $110,000 and gains on securities transactions, net, of $544,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other income of $125,000, primarily related to a $129,000 realized gain on the sale of an other real estate owned property during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Securities losses, net, in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, included losses of $390,000 related to the Company’s trading portfolio, while the comparative 2014 period included losses of $17,000 related to the Company’s trading portfolio.  The trading portfolio is utilized to fund the Company’s deferred compensation obligation to certain employees and directors of the Company's deferred compensation plan (the Plan). The participants of this Plan, at their election, defer a portion of their compensation. Gains and losses on trading securities have no effect on net income since participants benefit from, and bear the full risk of, changes in the trading securities market values. Therefore, the Company records an equal and offsetting amount in compensation expense, reflecting the change in the Company’s obligations under the Plan.
   
Non-interest expense increased $5.6 million, or 14.8%, to $43.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $38.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This was primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in compensation and employee benefits, primarily attributable to increased salary expense, health benefit costs, and stock compensation expense, related to stock awards issued in June 2014 and May 2015, a $342,000 increase in occupancy costs, a $489,000 increase in professional fees, primarily attributable to merger expenses associated with the Company's recently announced merger with Hopewell Valley Community Bank (Hopewell Valley) and an $819,000 increase in other expenses, largely due to an increase in Directors' stock awards. By comparison, non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was favorably affected by a pre-tax gain of $937,000 related to the settlement of the former Flatbush Federal Savings & Loan Association pension plan.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was 37.9% compared to 36.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, included a deferred tax asset write-down of $795,000 related to New York City tax reforms enacted in April

2015, whereas the comparable prior year period included a deferred tax asset write-down of $570,000 related to New York State tax reforms enacted in March 2014. The nine months ended September 30, 2015, also included $437,000 in non-deductible merger related expenses.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
 
Net income was $4.7 million for both quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.  Significant variances from the comparable prior year period are a $1.6 million increase in net interest income and a $1.6 million increase in non-interest expense.

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, increased $1.6 million, or 8.5%, primarily due to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $412.4 million, or 16.4%, partially offset by a 21 basis point decrease in our net interest margin to 2.79%. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans outstanding of $568.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in average mortgage-backed securities of $155.7 million. Yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased 12 basis points to 3.47% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from 3.59% for the comparable prior year quarter. Interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, included loan prepayment income of $489,000, as compared to $295,000, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, also was affected by an increase in interest expense, driven by a $455.0 million, or 25.0%, increase in our average interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased six basis points to 0.87% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 0.81% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, driven by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower rates on borrowed funds.

The provision for loan losses decreased $117,000 to $200,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $317,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, due to an improvement in asset quality indicators and stable economic and business conditions. Net charge-offs were $61,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to net charge-offs of $307,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Non-interest income decreased $174,000, or 9.5%, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.  This decrease was primarily a result of a $155,000 decrease in gains on securities transactions, net. Securities losses, net, in the third quarter of 2015 included losses of $401,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio described above, while the third quarter of 2014 included losses of $262,000. 

Non-interest expense increased $1.6 million, or 11.9%, to $14.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $13.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to a $469,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits, primarily attributable to increased stock compensation expense, related to stock awards issued in May 2015, a $163,000 increase in occupancy costs, a $402,000 increase in professional fees, primarily attributable to the Hopewell Valley merger, and a $570,000 increase in other expenses, largely due to an increase in Directors' stock awards.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million for both quarters ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, was 35.0% as compared to 34.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The quarter ended September 30, 2015, also included $437,000 in non-deductible merger related expenses.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015, and June 30, 2015
 
Net income was $4.7 million and $4.3 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2015, and June 30, 2015, respectively. Significant variances from the prior quarter are as follows: a $288,000 increase in net interest income, a $128,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a $340,000 decrease in non-interest income, a $333,000 increase in non-interest expense, and an $895,000 decrease in income tax expense.
 
Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, increased $288,000, or 1.4%, as the increase in average interest-earning assets of $74.5 million, or 2.6%, more than offset the six-basis point decrease in net interest margin to 2.79% for the quarter September 30, 2015 from 2.85% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans outstanding of $95.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in average mortgage-backed securities of $25.1 million. The quarter ended September 30, 2015 included loan prepayment income of $489,000 as compared to $653,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. Yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased by five basis point to 3.47% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from 3.52% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities remained level for both quarters at 0.87%.

The provision for loan losses increased $128,000 to $200,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $72,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to loan growth. Net charge-offs were $61,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to net charge-offs of $454,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
 
Non-interest income decreased by $340,000, or 16.9%, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $2.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to losses on securities transactions, net, of $381,000, the majority of which relates to the Company's trading portfolio described above.  
 
Non-interest expense increased $333,000, or 2.3%, to $14.8 million, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, from $14.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $234,000, due in part to fees associated with the Hopewell Valley merger, partially offset by a decrease in other professional fees, and an increase in other expenses of $612,000, primarily attributable to an increase in Directors' stock awards, partially offset by decreases in compensation and employee benefits of $419,000, and data processing costs of $100,000.

Financial Condition
Total assets increased $160.6 million, or 5.3%, to $3.18 billion at September 30, 2015, from $3.02 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in loans held-for-investment, net, of $347.3 million, partially offset by a decrease in securities available-for-sale of $191.6 million.
  
Total loans held-for-investment, net, increased $347.3 million to $2.29 billion at September 30, 2015, as compared to $1.94 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in originated loans held-for-investment, net, and loans acquired, partially offset by a decrease in PCI loans held-for-investment.

Originated loans held-for-investment, net, totaled $1.89 billion at September 30, 2015, as compared to $1.63 billion at December 31, 2014.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in multifamily real estate loans of $203.1 million, or 18.9%, to $1.28 billion at September 30, 2015, from $1.07 billion at December 31, 2014.

Acquired loans increased by $102.8 million to $368.5 million at September 30, 2015, from $265.7 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to the purchase of $135.9 million of one-to-four family residential real estate loans during the period, partially offset by paydowns.
    
PCI loans, primarily acquired as part of a transaction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, decreased to $33.1 million at September 30, 2015, as compared to $44.8 million at December 31, 2014, due to paydowns and sales.  The Company accreted interest income of $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.    
    
Total liabilities increased $196.4 million, or 8.1%, to $2.62 billion at September 30, 2015, from $2.43 billion at December 31, 2014.  The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in deposits of $462.9 million, partially offset by decreases in securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $109.2 million and Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings of $160.8 million.
    
Deposits increased $462.9 million, or 28.6%, to $2.08 billion at September 30, 2015, from $1.62 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was attributable to increases of $232.9 million in certificate of deposit accounts ($203.8 million of which were

Total stockholders’ equity decreased by $35.8 million to $558.1 million at September 30, 2015, from $593.9 million at December 31, 2014.  This decrease was primarily attributable to stock repurchases of $48.0 million and dividend payments of $9.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $14.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, a $6.1 million increase in stock compensation activity, and a $1.3 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, attributable to the increase in fair value of our securities available-for-sale portfolio.
