VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP REPORTS INCREASED THIRD QUARTER

NET INCOME AND 15 PERCENT ANNUALIZED LOAN GROWTH

WAYNE, NJ – October 25, 2018 -- Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the third quarter of 2018 of $69.6 million, or $0.20 per diluted common share, as compared to the third quarter of 2017 earnings of $39.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, and net income of $72.8 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2018. Net income for third quarter of 2018 included infrequent charges of $4.8 million ($3.4 million after-tax) mainly related to the impairment of branches selected for closure, merger expenses related to the USAmeriBancorp, Inc. ("USAB") acquisition and litigation reserves. The third quarter of 2017 included infrequent charges of $11.1 million ($6.8 million after-tax) that mostly related to our LIFT program, and the second quarter of 2018 included USAB merger charges of $3.2 million ($2.3 million after-tax). Excluding these charges and other non-core items, our adjusted net income was $73.1 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2018, $46.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2017, and $75.2 million, or $0.22 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2018. See further details below, including the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables.

Key financial highlights for the third quarter:

•

Loan Portfolio: Loans increased $876.6 million, or 15.1 percent on an annualized basis, to approximately $24.1 billion at September 30, 2018 from June 30, 2018. The increase was largely due to solid organic loan growth within most loan categories. Additionally, we sold approximately $151 million of residential mortgage loans resulting in pre-tax gains of $3.7 million during the third quarter of 2018.


•	Net Interest Income: Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $218.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 increased $5.9 million as compared to the second quarter of 2018 largely due to our new higher rate loan volumes and growth through the nine months ended September 30, 2018.


•	Net Interest Margin: Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.12 percent for the third quarter of 2018 increased by 1 basis point from 3.11 percent for the second quarter of 2018. See the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below for more details.


•	Provision for Credit Losses: The provision for credit losses declined $590 thousand to $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the second quarter of 2018.


•	Credit Quality: Net loan charge-offs totaled only $231 thousand for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to $692 thousand for the second quarter of 2018. Net recoveries totaled $381 thousand

for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Non-accrual loans represented 0.33 percent of total loans at September 30, 2018.

•

Non-interest Income: Non-interest income decreased $9.0 million, or 23.7 percent, to $29.0 million for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the second quarter of 2018 largely due to a $4.9 million decrease in other income driven by net expenses related to changes in our FDIC loss-share receivable and $1.8 million of branch related asset impairments (included in net losses on sale of assets within this line item), and a $3.9 million decline in net gains on sales of loans. See the "Branch Transformation" section below for more details on our branch network.

•

Non-interest Expense: Non-interest expense increased $1.8 million, or 1.2 percent, to $151.7 million for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in salary and employee benefits expense and litigation reserves totaling $1.7 million included in professional and legal expense for the third quarter of 2018, partially offset by moderate declines in several other expense categories.


•	Performance Ratios: Annualized return on average assets (ROA), shareholders’ equity (ROE) and tangible ROE were 0.91 percent, 8.41 percent and 12.96 percent for the third quarter of 2018, respectively. Annualized ROA, ROE and tangible ROE, adjusted for infrequent charges, was 0.96 percent, 8.84 percent and 13.61 percent for the third quarter of 2018, respectively.

•

Efficiency Ratio: Our efficiency ratio was 61.70 percent for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 60.25 percent and 69.43 percent for the second quarter of 2018 and third quarter of 2017, respectively. Excluding merger expense, amortization of tax credit investments, litigation reserve expense and branch related asset impairments, if applicable in the period, our adjusted efficiency ratio was 57.85 percent for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 57.15 percent and 59.21 percent for the second quarter of 2018 and third quarter of 2017, respectively. See the "Consolidated Financial Highlights" tables below for additional information regarding this non-GAAP measure.

•

Income Tax Expense: The effective tax rate was 20.6 percent for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 20.7 percent for the second quarter of 2018. The New Jersey surtax effective July 1, 2018 did not have a material impact on our reported income tax expense for the third quarter of 2018. For the remainder of 2018, we currently estimate that our effective tax rate will range from 21 percent to 23 percent.

Ira Robbins, CEO and President commented, "We are pleased with the continued progress we have made in deepening client relationships as witnessed by both the loan and deposit growth in our balance sheet. Furthermore, the stability of the net interest margin is a testament to our ability to maintain pricing discipline. Our commitment to reinvestment into Valley should enable us to enjoy meaningful success in years to come."

Net Interest Income and Margin

Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaling $218.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 increased $52.2 million and $5.9 million as compared to the third quarter of 2017 and second quarter of 2018, respectively. The increase as compared to the third quarter of 2017 was largely due to the USAB acquisition

October 25, 2018

effective January 1, 2018. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased $16.8 million to $298.4 million for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the second quarter of 2018 mainly due to an $819.0 million increase in average loans and a 16 basis point increase in the yield on average loans. Interest expense of $80.2 million for the third quarter of 2018 increased $10.9 million as compared to the second quarter of 2018 largely due to higher interest rates on many of our interest bearing deposit products, including new money market and certificate of deposit initiatives, and short-term borrowings, as well as a $599.6 million increase in average short-term borrowings. The increases were partially offset by a $293 million decline in average long-term borrowings mostly driven by maturing FHLB advances.

Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.12 percent for the third quarter of 2018 increased by 5 basis points and 1 basis point from 3.07 percent and 3.11 percent for the third quarter of 2017 and second quarter of 2018, respectively. The yield on average interest earning assets increased by 14 basis points on a linked quarter basis mostly due to the higher yield on average loans, partially offset by a lower yield on average investments caused, in part, by calls and other repayments of higher yielding investment securities. The yield on average loans increased by 16 basis points to 4.50 percent for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the second quarter of 2018 due to the high volume of new loan originations at current market rates, as well as better than expected cash flows from certain purchased credit-impaired loan pools. The overall cost of average interest bearing liabilities increased 17 basis points to 1.55 percent for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to the linked second quarter of 2018 due to 16, 19, and 26 basis point increases in the cost of average interest bearing deposits, short-term borrowings, and long-term borrowings, respectively, largely driven by higher market interest rates. Our cost of total average deposits was 0.88 percent for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to 0.76 percent for the second quarter of 2018.

Branch Transformation

As previously disclosed, Valley recently embarked on a new strategy to overhaul its retail network. During the third quarter, we identified 74 branches within New Jersey and New York that presently do not meet certain internal performance measures. Of the 74 identified, we have closed 6 branches to date and expect to consolidate approximately 14 additional branches by the end of the first quarter 2019, resulting in an estimated annual operating expense savings of $9 million. During the third quarter of 2018, we recognized branch asset impairment charges of $1.8 million related to the approved (actual and future) branch closures.

For the remaining 54 branches, we have implemented tailored action plans focused on improving profitability and deposit levels. However, should these branches not experience improvement within a defined period, they will be reviewed for potential consolidation.

Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings

Loans. Loans increased $876.6 million to approximately $24.1 billion at September 30, 2018 from June 30, 2018. The increase was mainly due to continued strong quarter over quarter organic growth in total commercial real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and commercial and industrial loans. During the third quarter of 2018, Valley also originated $124 million of residential mortgage loans for sale rather than held for investment. Residential mortgage loans held for sale totaled $31.7 million and $15.1 million at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $947.5 million to approximately $22.6 billion at September 30, 2018 from June 30, 2018 largely due to increases in money market deposits and time deposits driven by the success of several new commercial and consumer deposit initiatives commenced in the third quarter, as

October 25, 2018

well as an increase in brokered certificates of deposit, which totaled approximately $500 million at September 30, 2018. Valley increased its use of brokered CDs partly due to their favorable pricing as compared to other available funding sources with similar terms, including FHLB advances. Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW, money market deposits; and time deposits represented approximately 27 percent, 49 percent and 24 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 2018, respectively.

Other Borrowings. Short-term borrowings increased $90.5 million to approximately $3.0 billion at September 30, 2018 as compared to June 30, 2018 largely due to new FHLB advances used for normal liquidity purposes during the third quarter of 2018. Long-term borrowings decreased $375.2 million to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2018 as compared to June 30, 2018 mostly due to maturities of FHLB advances and a partial shift in funding to shorter term borrowings and time deposits.

Credit Quality

Non-Performing Assets. Our past due loans and non-accrual loans discussed further below exclude PCI loans. Under U.S. GAAP, the PCI loans (acquired at a discount that is due, in part, to credit quality) are accounted for on a pool basis and are not subject to delinquency classification in the same manner as loans originated by Valley. Our PCI loan portfolio totaled $4.4 billion, or 18.4 percent, of our total loan portfolio at September 30, 2018 and included all loans acquired from USAB on January 1, 2018.

Total non-performing assets (NPAs), consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets decreased $8.4 million to $88.7 million at September 30, 2018 as compared to June 30, 2018 mainly due to decreases of $6.1 million and $1.9 million in non-accrual loans and OREO, respectively, during the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in non-accrual loans was primarily due to improvement in loan performance and a few large loan payoffs in several categories. As a result, non-accrual loans decreased to 0.33 percent of total loans at September 30, 2018 as compared to 0.36 percent of total loans at June 30, 2018.

Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or more and still accruing interest) were $58.2 million, or 0.24 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2018 as compared to $33.3 million, or 0.14 percent of total loans, at June 30, 2018. The $25 million increase from June 30, 2018 was partially due to a matured performing construction loan in the normal process of renewal totaling $15.2 million within the loans 30 - 59 days past due category.

During the third quarter of 2018, we continued to closely monitor our NYC and Chicago taxi medallion loans totaling $123.7 million and $8.7 million, respectively, within the commercial and industrial loan portfolio at September 30, 2018. While the vast majority of the taxi medallion loans are currently performing, negative trends in the market valuations of the underlying taxi medallion collateral could impact the future performance and internal classification of this portfolio. At September 30, 2018, the medallion portfolio included impaired loans totaling $66.5 million with related reserves of $26.3 million within the allowance for loan losses as compared to impaired loans totaling $64.7 million with related reserves of $23.2 million at June 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018, the impaired medallion loans largely consisted of performing troubled debt restructured (TDR) loans classified as substandard loans, as well as $45.7 million of non-accrual taxi cab medallion loans classified as doubtful. Additionally, Valley currently has $29.1 million of performing non-impaired taxi medallion loans which are scheduled to mature in 2019, and $20.7 million that mature between 2023 and 2027. If the loans with 2019 maturities became TDRs upon maturity and renewal, an additional reserve of $8.7 million would be required based on the allowance methodology at September 30, 2018.

Allowance for Credit Losses. The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to specific loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each loan category (including PCI loans) at September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2017:

* Includes the reserve for unfunded letters of credit.

Our loan portfolio, totaling $24.1 billion at September 30, 2018, had net loan charge-offs totaling $231 thousand for the third quarter of 2018 as compared to net charge-offs of $692 thousand for the second quarter of 2018, and $1.2 million of net recoveries of loan charge-offs during the third quarter of 2017.

During the third quarter of 2018, we recorded a $6.6 million provision for credit losses as compared to $7.1 million and $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2018 and the third quarter of 2017, respectively. The provision for credit losses totaled $24.6 million and $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The elevated 2018 provision was largely due to higher reserves allocated to impaired taxi medallion loans, as well as the significant loan growth.

The allowance for credit losses, comprised of our allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded letters of credit, as a percentage of total loans was 0.62 percent, 0.62 percent and 0.67 percent at September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. At September 30, 2018, our allowance allocations for losses as a percentage of total loans remained relatively stable as compared to June 30, 2018 for most loan categories. The allocated reserves as a percentage of commercial and industrial loans increased 0.15 percent largely due to higher allocated reserves for impaired taxi medallion loans, as well as internally classified loans which include non-impaired taxi medallion loans.

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA



(1)	Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis using a 21 percent and 35 percent federal tax rate for periods ending in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Valley believes that this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC rules.
(2)	This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Valley's financial results. Specifically, Valley provides measures based on what it believes are its operating earnings on a consistent basis and excludes material non-core operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Management believes that Valley's presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Valley's business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results and Valley strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

(3)	The efficiency ratio measures Valley's total non-interest expense as a percentage of net interest income plus total non-interest income.
(4)	Past due loans and non-accrual loans exclude purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans. PCI loans are accounted for on a pool basis under U.S. GAAP and are not subject to delinquency classification in the same manner as loans originated by Valley.
(5)	Represent PCI loans meeting Valley's definition of non-performing loan (i.e., non-accrual loans), but are not subject to such classification under U.S. GAAP because the loans are accounted for on a pooled basis and are excluded from the non-accrual loans in the table above.
