FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Yadkin Financial Corporation Completes Acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp and Reports Record Net Operating Earnings of $14.8 Million, or $0.39 Per Diluted Share, in the First Quarter of 2016

RALEIGH, N.C., April 21, 2016 – Yadkin Financial Corporation (NYSE: YDKN) ("Yadkin" or the "Company"), the parent company of Yadkin Bank, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

"We are pleased to report record net operating earnings in the first quarter of 2016, the combined result of the recent acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp, and continued strong organic growth," announced Scott Custer, Yadkin's CEO." The NewBridge merger enables us to reach customers in every major market in North Carolina, providing us now with a particularly strong presence in the Triad area." Commenting on the merger integration, Mr. Custer stated, "We have already made significant progress towards consolidating the operating platforms based on our merger plan. Additionally, we believe that successful execution of the systems integration in September 2016 will allow us to fully realize the cost savings and operational leverage that the NewBridge merger provides."

First Quarter 2016 Performance Highlights

On March 1, 2016, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp and currently operates as the largest community bank based in North Carolina with $7.4 billion in total assets, $5.3 billion in deposits, and $985 million in shareholders' equity.

Net income available to common shareholders totaled $7.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in Q1 2016 compared to $0.37 per diluted share in Q4 2015 and $0.30 per diluted share in Q1 2015.

Net operating earnings available to common shareholders, which excludes certain non-operating income and expenses, improved to $14.8 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, in Q1 2016 from $12.6 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in Q4 2015 and $10.3 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in Q1 2015.

Annualized net operating return on average tangible common equity was 13.14 percent in Q1 2016 compared to 13.14 percent in Q4 2015 and 11.94 in Q1 2015. Annualized net operating return on average assets was 1.09 percent in Q1 2016 compared to 1.14 percent in Q4 2015 and 1.04 percent in Q1 2015.

Operating efficiency, the ratio of operating expenses to total operating revenues, was 58.1 percent in Q1 2016 compared to 57.5 percent in Q4 2015 and 62.1 percent in Q1 2015.

Asset quality improved following the acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp, as nonperforming loans to total loans declined to 0.83 percent as of March 31, 2016 from 1.06 percent as of December 31, 2015 and 1.29 percent as of March 31, 2015.

Acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp

On March 1, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of NewBridge Bancorp (“NewBridge”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 12, 2015 (the “NewBridge Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the NewBridge Merger Agreement, each share of NewBridge Class A common stock and Class B common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.50 shares of the common stock of the Company. Based on the Company's stock price at the closing date of the NewBridge Merger, purchase consideration totaled $431.3 million. Immediately following the merger of NewBridge into Yadkin, NewBridge Bank, a North Carolina-chartered commercial bank, merged with and into Yadkin Bank, with Yadkin Bank surviving such merger.






The NewBridge Merger was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting with Yadkin as the legal and accounting acquirer and NewBridge as the legal and accounting acquiree. The assets and liabilities of NewBridge have been recorded at their estimated fair values and added to those of Yadkin for periods following the merger date. The Company may refine its valuations of acquired NewBridge assets and liabilities for up to one year following the merger date.

The Company is currently the fourth largest bank headquartered in North Carolina and ranks first by North Carolina deposit market share among community banks. The Company now operates 110 full-service banking locations in its North Carolina and South Carolina banking network and has a significant presence in all major North Carolina markets, including Charlotte, the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle, the Piedmont Triad, and Wilmington. The Company plans to complete systems integration in September 2016. The NewBridge Merger added $2.1 billion in loans, $2.0 billion in deposits, and resulted in significant changes across most balance sheet categories. Additionally, since the merger was effective on March 1, 2016, the Company's results of operations for the first quarter reflect the impact of NewBridge for only one month. As a result, the Company's first quarter 2016 financial results may not be comparable to financial results in prior periods.

Results of Operations and Asset Quality

1Q 2016 vs. 4Q 2015

Net interest income totaled $48.0 million in the first quarter of 2016, which was a significant increase from $41.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. This increase was due to the impact of earning assets acquired in the NewBridge Merger and organic loan growth. Net interest margin decreased from 4.29 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015 to 4.05 percent in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower-yielding acquired NewBridge loans. Core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of accretion income on net interest income, was 3.70 percent in the first quarter of 2016, compared to 3.87 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Net accretion income on acquired loans totaled $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, which consisted of $1.1 million of net accretion on purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") loans and $2.4 million of accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans. Net accretion income on acquired loans in the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $3.0 million, which included $791 thousand of net accretion on PCI loans and $2.2 million of net accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans. Net accretion income on purchased non-impaired loans included $767 thousand of accelerated accretion due to principal prepayments in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $861 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Provision for loan losses was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.The table below summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses ("ALLL") on a linked-quarter basis for the quarters presented.

The ALLL was $10.2 million, or 0.20 percent of total loans as of March 31, 2016, compared to $9.8 million, or 0.32 percent of total loans, as of December 31, 2015. The decline in ALLL to total loans was primarily due to acquisition accounting. Upon completion of the NewBridge Merger, NewBridge's historical ALLL was eliminated, and the acquired loan portfolio was adjusted to estimated fair value. Adjusted ALLL, which is a non-GAAP metric that includes ALLL as well as net acquisition accounting fair value adjustments for acquired loans, declined from 1.62 percent of total loans as of December 31, 2015 to 1.50 percent as of March 31, 2016. The decline in the adjusted ALLL ratio was partially due to lower fair value adjustments on acquired NewBridge loans and was partially due to improvements in historical loss rates used in the Company's ALLL model.






The provision for loan losses on non-PCI loans decreased by $370 thousand in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower net charge-offs, which totaled $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2016 and $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The annualized net charge-off rate was 0.15 percent of average loans the first quarter of 2016, a decline from 0.25 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015. The provision credit recorded on PCI loans increased by $468 thousand on a linked-quarter basis as a result of improving cash flows on the Company's PCI loan pools.

Nonperforming loans, which include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing, as a percentage of total loans decreased to 0.83 percent as of March 31, 2016 from 1.06 percent as of December 31, 2015. Total nonperforming assets (which include nonperforming loans and foreclosed assets) as a percentage of total assets similarly decreased to 0.83 percent as of March 31, 2016 from 1.07 percent as of December 31, 2015. The improvement in the Company's nonperforming asset ratio was primarily due to lower nonperforming asset levels in the acquired NewBridge loan portfolio.

Non-interest income totaled $11.4 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase from $10.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased by $776 thousand primarily due to the addition of acquired NewBridge deposit accounts. 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 $3.1 million to non-interest income in the first quarter of 2016.

Non-interest expense totaled $44.8 million in the first quarter of 2016, an increase from $30.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The linked-quarter increase in expenses was primarily due to a $9.5 million increase in merger and conversion costs, which includes professional fees, personnel costs, and other expenses required to close the NewBridge Merger as well as costs to convert data processing, technology, signage, and branch network to the Company's integrated platform. Operating non-interest expense, which excludes merger and conversion costs and restructuring charges, increased by $5.0 million on a linked-quarter basis. Salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, and other non-interest expense categories all increased as a result of the NewBridge Merger, which added employees, branch and other facilities, and equipment to the Company's expense base.

Operating efficiency ratio, which excludes merger and conversion costs and restructuring charges, was 58.1 percent in the first quarter of 2016 and 57.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company has made significant progress towards integrating NewBridge onto its integrated platform based upon the merger plan. Additionally, execution of the branch consolidation plan (12 branch closures scheduled in Q2 and Q3 2016), closures of two significant NewBridge non-branch locations (scheduled for Q3 2016), and completion of the systems integration (scheduled for September 2016) should enable the Company to fully realize the cost savings and operational leverage that the NewBridge Merger provides. Management believes the majority of projected cost savings will be achieved by the end of Q3 2016 with remaining savings to be realized in Q4 2016 and Q1 2017.

Income tax expense totaled $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $6.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 38.7 percent in the first quarter of 2016 from 34.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily due to the impact of non-deductible merger expenses.

Dividend Information

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. 

Forward-Looking Statements
