Net income for the 2015 periods include a $4.1 million tax benefit for a one-time discrete item related to a net operating loss carryforward from a previous acquisition. Excluding this item, net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 would have been $44.7 million and $133.0 million, respectively.

Financial Performance Overview - Third Quarter 2016

For the third quarter of 2016, net income totaled $43.4 million, a decrease of $0.9 million as compared to the second quarter of 2016 and a decrease of $5.4 million as compared to the third quarter of 2015. The changes in net income on both a sequential and year over year quarter basis are the result of the following:

Net interest income increased by $2.3 million, or 1.5% as compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to:

An increase in interest and dividend income of $3.4 million, or 1.8% to $198.4 million as compared to the second quarter of 2016 primarily attributed to commercial loan growth, offset by a decrease of 5 basis points on the weighted average loan yield to 4.05%.
Prepayment penalties, which are included in interest income, totaled $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
An increase in total interest expense of $1.1 million was primarily attributed to an increase in interest expense on borrowed funds of $1.4 million to $18.4 million, or 8%, partially offset by a decrease of 1 basis point to 0.93% on the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 3.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from 3.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

On a year over year basis, net interest income increased by $8.3 million, or 5.5% in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to the third quarter of 2015 due to:

An increase in interest and dividend income of $11.5 million, or 6.1% to $198.4 million as a result of a $1.86 billion increase in the average balance of net loans, partially offset by the weighted average yield on net loans decreasing 22 basis points to 4.05%.
Prepayment penalties, which are included in interest income, totaled $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
An increase in total interest expense of $3.1 million was primarily attributed to an increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits of $891.6 million, or 7.6% to $12.56 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and an increase in the average balance of total borrowed funds of $829.0 million . In addition, the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 3 basis points to 0.93% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

The net interest margin decreased 14 basis points year over year to 3.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from 3.14% for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Total non-interest income was $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $2.9 million as compared to the second quarter of 2016. Gain on securities transactions decreased $1.6 million primarily due to the fact that the second quarter of 2016 included a sale of $37.4 million of securities resulting in a gain of $1.6 million. Fees and service charges decreased $529,000 from the second quarter of 2016, primarily driven by a decrease to loan fees as well as an increase to the valuation reserve on mortgage servicing rights. Other income decreased $485,000 from the second quarter of 2016.

Compared to the third quarter of 2015, total non-interest income decreased $2.8 million year over year. Gain on loans, net decreased $737,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily as a result of lower loan sales through our mortgage subsidiary as well as the Bank. In addition security transactions and gain on other real estate owned decreased $861,000 and $795,000, respectively, from the third quarter of 2015.

Total non-interest expenses were $91.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $389,000 as compared to the second quarter of 2016. Professional fees increased $866,000 as we continue to build additional risk management and operational infrastructure as our company grows and as we enhance our employee training and development programs. In addition, federal insurance premiums increased $800,000. These increases were offset by decreases to advertising and promotional expense and compensation and fringe benefits totaling $956,000 and $556,000, respectively.

Compared to the third quarter of 2015, total non-interest expenses increased $5.5 million, or 6.4% year over year. Compensation and fringe benefits increased $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to additions to our staff to support continued growth and infrastructure and normal merit increases. In addition, professional fees increased $1.8 million as we build additional risk management and operational infrastructure. Federal insurance premiums and office occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Income tax expense was $28.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and $28.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, representing an effective tax rate of 39.4% and 39.0%, respectively. Income tax expense was $22.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, representing an effective tax rate of 31.9% which includes a one time discrete item related to a NOL carryforward. Absent this discrete item, the tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 would have been 37.6%.

Financial Performance Overview- Nine Months of 2016

Net income decreased by $5.7 million, year over year to $131.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The changes in net income for the nine months ended year over year are the result of the following:

Total interest and dividend income increased by $41.9 million, or 7.7% to $585.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months of 2015 primarily attributed to growth in the commercial loan portfolio. This increase was offset by a decrease of 15 basis points to the weighted average yield on net loans to 4.09%.
Prepayment penalties, which are included in interest income, totaled $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Total interest expense increased by $14.7 million or 14.8% to $114.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months of 2015.

Total non-interest income was $28.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 8.7% as compared to the nine months of 2015. Gain on loans, net decreased $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily as a result of lower loan sales through our mortgage subsidiary as well as the Bank. In addition, gain on sale of other real estate owned decreased $1.2 million as compared to the nine months of 2015. These decreases were offset by an increase of $2.1 million in gain on securities transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to the sale of securities totaling $69.1 million, resulting in a gain of $3.1 million.

Total non-interest expense was $269.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $26.9 million, or 11.1% as compared to the nine months of 2015. Compensation and fringe benefits increased $20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $10.3 million in equity incentive expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 resulting from the restricted stock and stock option grants on June 23, 2015 to certain employees, officers and directors of the Company, pursuant to the Investors Bancorp, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan; additions to our staff to support continued growth; and normal merit increases. Office occupancy and equipment expense increased $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to new branch openings. Professional fees and other operating expenses increased $2.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as we continue to build additional risk management and operational infrastructure as our company grows and we enhance our employee training and development programs.

Income tax expense was $84.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $74.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, representing an effective tax rate of 39.1% and 35.3%, respectively. The tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes a one time discrete item related to a NOL carryforward. Absent this discrete item, the tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 would have been 37.3%.

Asset Quality

Our provision for loan losses was $5.0 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2016, the second quarter of 2016 and the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, net charge-offs were $1.8 million compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $504,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 our provision for loan loss was $15.0 million compared with $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net charge-offs were $10.0 million compared to $2.8 million for the the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Our provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily a result of continued organic growth in the loan portfolio, specifically the multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial and industrial portfolios; the inherent credit risk in our overall portfolio, particularly the credit risk associated with commercial real estate lending and commercial and industrial lending; offset by the improvement in the level of non-performing loans.

Our accruing past due loans and non-accrual loans discussed below exclude certain purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans, primarily consisting of loans recorded in the Company's acquisitions. Under U.S. GAAP, the PCI loans (acquired at a discount that is due, in part, to credit quality) are not subject to delinquency classification in the same manner as loans originated by the Bank. The following table sets forth non-accrual loans and accruing past due loans (excluding PCI loans and loans held for sale) on the dates indicated as well as certain asset quality ratios.

Total non-accrual loans decreased to $97.5 million at September 30, 2016 compared to $100.3 million at June 30, 2016 and $124.1 million at September 30, 2015. We continue to diligently resolve our troubled loans, however it takes a long period of time to resolve residential credits in our lending area. At September 30, 2016, there were $30.0 million of loans deemed as troubled debt restructurings, of which $23.5 million were residential and consumer loans, $4.1 million were commercial real estate loans, and $2.4 million were commercial and industrial loans. Troubled debt restructured loans in the amount of $8.8 million were classified as accruing and $21.2 million were classified as non-accrual at September 30, 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we originated $1.74 billion in multi-family loans, $670.0 million in commercial and industrial loans, $442.0 million in commercial real estate loans, $395.0 million in residential loans, $335.7 million in construction loans and $235.7 million in consumer and other loans. This increase in loans reflects our continued focus on generating multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans, which was partially offset by pay downs and payoffs of loans. Our loans are primarily on properties and businesses located in New Jersey and New York.

In addition to the loans originated for our portfolio, our mortgage subsidiary, Investors Home Mortgage Co., originated residential mortgage loans for sale to third parties totaling $166.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

The allowance for loan losses increased by $5.1 million to $223.6 million at September 30, 2016 from $218.5 million at December 31, 2015. The increase in our allowance for loan losses is due to the growth of the loan portfolio and the credit risk in our overall portfolio, particularly the inherent credit risk associated with commercial real estate lending as well as commercial and industrial loans. Future increases in the allowance

for loan losses may be necessary based on the growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of loan delinquency and the economic conditions in our lending area. At September 30, 2016, our allowance for loan loss as a percent of total loans was 1.22%.

Securities, in the aggregate, increased by $157.4 million, or 5.0%, to $3.31 billion at September 30, 2016 from $3.15 billion at December 31, 2015. This increase was a result of purchases partially offset by paydowns and sales.

Deposits increased by $888.1 million, or 6.3%, from $14.06 billion at December 31, 2015 to $14.95 billion at September 30, 2016. Checking accounts increased $1.24 billion to $5.88 billion at September 30, 2016 from $4.64 billion at December 31, 2015. Core deposits (savings, checking and money market) represented approximately 80% of our total deposit portfolio at September 30, 2016.

Borrowed funds increased by $940.6 million, or 28.8%, to $4.20 billion at September 30, 2016 from $3.26 billion at December 31, 2015 to help fund the continued growth of the loan portfolio.

Stockholders' equity decreased by $196.6 million to $3.12 billion at September 30, 2016 from $3.31 billion at December 31, 2015. The decrease is primarily attributed to the repurchase of 29.2 million shares of common stock for $337.5 million as well as cash dividends of $0.18 per share totaling $57.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These decreases were offset by net income of $131.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
