WOODBRIDGE, N.J., Oct. 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC. (Nasdaq:NFBK), the holding company for Northfield Bank, reported diluted earnings per common share of $0.10 and $0.30 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.09 and $0.26 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

"Strong loan growth continues to drive earnings," commented John W. Alexander, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "During the third quarter, originated loans held-for-investment, net, increased on an unannualized basis by 4.9%. In addition, we purchased $186.5 million of high quality residential loans at quarter end resulting in an overall quarterly increase in loans of 15.8%. While rates remain extremely competitive, especially in multifamily lending, our shift from investments to loans has helped us maintain our net interest margin and even slightly expand that margin from the trailing quarter."

Continuing, Mr. Alexander noted "Northfield's stock repurchase program continued in the quarter with 2.4 million shares being acquired. This, coupled with the loan purchase, helped reduce capital to 21.1% of total assets at quarter end, down from 26.5% at the end of 2013. We continue to evaluate opportunities to deploy capital including acquisitions of other banks, branches, or specialty lenders, and remain focused on the return of capital to our stockholders through dividends and stock repurchases."

"I also am pleased to announce," Mr. Alexander added, "the declaration of a $0.07 per common share dividend by the Board of Directors. This dividend will be payable November 19, 2014, to stockholders of record on November 5, 2014."

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $222.0 million, or 8.2%, to $2.92 billion at September 30, 2014, from $2.70 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in cash and cash equivalents of $5.6 million, securities held-to-maturity of $3.9 million, net loans held-for-investment of $332.1 million, bank owned life insurance of $2.9 million, and FHLB stock of $9.1 million, partially offset by decreases in securities available-for-sale of $133.4 million.

Total loans held-for-investment, net, increased $332.1 million to $1.82 billion at September 30, 2014, as compared to $1.49 billion at December 31, 2013.

Originated loans held-for-investment, net, totaled $1.52 billion at September 30, 2014, as compared to $1.35 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in multifamily real estate loans of $116.7 million, or 13.39%, to $987.6 million at September 30, 2014, from $871.0 million at December 31, 2013.

Acquired loans increased by $179.9 million to $257.7 million at September 30, 2014, from $77.8 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to the purchase of $186.5 million of one-to-four family residential estate loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by paydowns during the year. The following table provides the details of the loans purchased during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

The weighted average coupon of 2.53% is net of the servicing fee. Of the total loans purchased, $114.7 million, or 62% of the balance, is interest-only for the initial 10 years and will re-price in less than five years at one month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of 1.65%. The remainder of the purchase is scheduled to make principal and interest payments and will re-price in less than five years at one month LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of 1.83%. Additionally, the geographic locations of the loans are as follows: 46.0% in New York, 30.5% in Massachusetts, and 23.5% in other states.

Purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans, primarily acquired as part of a transaction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, totaled $44.5 million at September 30, 2014, as compared to $59.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company accreted interest income of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The Company's securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $803.7 million at September 30, 2014, compared to $937.1 million at December 31, 2013.  At September 30, 2014, $732.0 million of the portfolio consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae.  The Company also held residential mortgage-backed securities not guaranteed by these three entities, referred to as "private label securities."  The private label securities had an amortized cost and an estimated fair value of $1.1 million at September 30, 2014.  In addition to the above mortgage-backed securities, the Company held $70.2 million in corporate bonds which were all rated investment grade at September 30, 2014, and $377,000 of equity investments in money market mutual funds.

Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $53.1 million at September 30, 2014, as compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2013.  

Total liabilities increased $320.3 million, or 16.1%, to $2.31 billion at September 30, 2014, from $1.99 billion at December 31, 2013.  The increase was primarily attributable to increased deposits of $17.8 million, borrowings of $229.4 million and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $68.3 million.

Deposits increased $17.8 million to $1.51 billion at September 30, 2014, as compared to $1.49 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was attributable to increases of $11.2 million in money market demand accounts, $10.9 million in transaction accounts and $6.5 million in certificates of deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease in savings accounts of $10.8 million.  

Borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased by $297.7 million, or 63.3%, to $768.0 million at September 30, 2014, from $470.3 million at December 31, 2013.  Management utilizes borrowings to mitigate interest rate risk, for short-term liquidity, and to a lesser extent as part of leverage strategies.  The following is a table of term borrowing maturities (excluding capitalized leases and overnight borrowings) and the weighted average rate by year (dollars in thousands) at September 30, 2014: 

Year Amount Weighted Avg. Rate
2014 $ 243,768 0.34%

Total stockholders' equity decreased by $98.3 million to $617.8 million at September 30, 2014, from $716.1 million at December 31, 2013.  This decrease was primarily attributable to stock repurchases of $106.5 million and dividend payments of $9.7 million.   These decreases were partially offset by net income of $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Included in non-accruing loans are loans subject to TDR agreements totaling $9.6 million and $10.7 million at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. At September 30, 2014, the entire $9.6 million in TDRs were not performing in accordance with their restructured terms, as compared to $7.5 million, or 70.4%, at December 31, 2013.  Three separate relationships account for the loans not performing in accordance with their restructured terms at September 30, 2014, of which one relationship is made up of several loans totaling $7.3 million primarily collateralized by real estate, with an aggregate appraised value of $9.5 million as of November 2013.

The Company also holds loans subject to restructuring agreements that are on accrual status, totaling $24.6 million and $26.2 million at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.  At September 30, 2014, loans totaling $787,000, or 3.2% of the $24.6 million were not performing in accordance with the restructured terms, as compared to $3.6 million, or 13.7% of $26.2 million at December 31, 2013.  These loans were less than 90 days delinquent at September 30, 2014.  

Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing and Other Real Estate Owned

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing increased $386,000 to $418,000 at September 30, 2014, from $32,000 at December 31, 2013.  The increase relates to several residential loans that are considered well secured and in the process of collection.

Other real estate owned was $491,000 and $634,000 at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Accruing Loans 30 to 89 Days Delinquent

Loans 30 to 89 days delinquent and on accrual status totaled $16.2 million and $13.3 million at September 30, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. The following table sets forth delinquencies for accruing loans by type and by amount at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands).

PCI Loans (Held-for-Investment)

At September 30, 2014, based on contractual principal, 5.2% of PCI loans were past due 30 to 89 days, and 25.6% were past due 90 days or more, as compared to 6.6% and 14.9%, respectively, at December 31, 2013.  The increase in the percentage of delinquencies (90 days or more past due) resulted partially from PCI principal balances declining by $15.0 million to $44.5 million at September 30, 2014, from December 31, 2013.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Net income was $4.7 million and $5.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2014, and 2013, respectively.  Significant variances from the comparable prior year period are as follows: a $350,000 decrease in net interest income, a $500,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $748,000 decrease in non-interest income, a $41,000 decrease in non-interest expense, and a $186,000 decrease in income tax expense.

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, decreased $350,000, or 1.8%, primarily due to an eight basis point decrease in our net interest margin to 3.00%. The 2014 third quarter included loan prepayment income of $295,000, as compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.  The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 13 basis points to 0.81% for the current quarter, as compared to 0.94% for the prior year period.  Additionally, yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased 13 basis points to 3.59% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as compared to 3.72% for the comparable quarter in 2013.

The provision for loan losses decreased $500,000 to $317,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, from $817,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in the provision for loan losses resulted primarily from continued improvements in asset quality indicators.  Originated loans grew approximately $71.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to $80.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Net charge-offs were $307,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $523,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. 

Non-interest income decreased $748,000, or 28.9%, to $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, from $2.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease of $976,000 in gains on securities, net, and a decrease of $28,000 in income earned on bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a $182,000 increase in fees and service charges for customer services. Securities losses, net, in the third quarter of 2014 included losses of $262,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio whereas the third quarter of 2013 included gains of $390,000 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 remained level for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Significant variances from the prior year comparable quarter are as follows: a $118,000 decrease in occupancy expenses, a $202,000 decrease in professional fees, and a $303,000 increase in other expense.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to $2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.  The effective tax rate for both quarters ended September 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013 was 34.5%.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Net income was $15.4 million and $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and September 30, 2013, respectively.  Significant variances from the comparable period are as follows: a $235,000 decrease in net interest income, a $923,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $1.1 million decrease in non-interest income, a $2.9 million decrease in non-interest expense, and a $1.2 million increase in income tax expense.

Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, decreased $235,000 primarily due to a decrease in average interest earning assets of $51.4 million, partially offset by a slight increase in our net interest margin of four basis points to 3.02%. The September 30, 2014, period included loan prepayment income of $1.0 million compared to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The nine months ended September 30, 2014, also included a recovery of $246,000 of interest income that was previously charged-off related to a loan payoff. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 14 basis points to 0.83% for the current nine months as compared to 0.97% for the prior year period.  Yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased five basis points to 3.61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from 3.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  

The provision for loan losses decreased $923,000, or 61.1%, to $588,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This was primarily attributable to the Company's PCI portfolio, which had a reversal of a previously recorded impairment, continued improvement in asset quality indicators, and to a lesser extent, originated loan growth of $167.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $187.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Non-interest income decreased $1.1 million, or 15.2%, to $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, from $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Significant variances from the prior period were a $2.7 million decrease in gains on securities transactions, net, partially offset by an increase of $757,000 in fees and service charges, and an increase of $351,000 in bank owned life insurance income.  Securities gains, net, in 2014 included losses of $17,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio described above, while the comparable period of 2013 included securities gains of $696,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio. 

Non-interest expense decreased $2.9 million, or 7.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This was due primarily to a $1.7 million decrease in compensation and employee benefits related to the benefit recorded on the settlement of a pension plan acquired in the Flatbush Federal Bancorp, Inc. and Flatbush Federal Savings & Loan Association merger (the Merger), a decrease in stock compensation expense of $335,000, and the mark-to-market adjustment related to the Company's deferred compensation plan which is described above, a $563,000 decrease in data processing costs due to conversion costs related to the Merger, and a $464,000 decrease in professional fees related primarily to the Merger.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, was 36.9% as a result of the deferred tax asset write-down of $570,000 related to a New York State tax law change enacted on March 31, 2014, as compared to 35.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The tax reform lowered future marginal tax rates and changed apportionment factors, resulting in a reduction of the Company's net deferred tax assets.  

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014

Net income was $4.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, and $5.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  Significant variances from the prior quarter are as follows: a $450,000 increase in net interest income, a $463,000 increase in provision for loan losses, a $547,000 decrease in non-interest income, a $570,000 increase in non-interest expense, and a $419,000 decrease in income tax expense.

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, increased $450,000, or 2.4%, due primarily to a two basis point increase in our net interest margin to 3.00% and an increase in average interest-earning assets of $18.2 million. The 2014 third quarter included loan prepayment income of $295,000 as compared to $199,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased two basis points to 0.81% for the current quarter, as compared to 0.83% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  Additionally, yields earned on interest-earning assets increased three basis points to 3.59% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, as compared to 3.56% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

The provision for loan losses increased $463,000 to $317,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a provision related to increased general reserves as a result of loan growth and increased charge-offs, compared to recovering $146,000 in the provision for loan losses, as a result of improved PCI portfolio results and the reversal of previously recorded impairment, during the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Non-interest income decreased $547,000, or 22.9%, to $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, from $2.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  This decrease was primarily a result of a $552,000 decrease in gains on securities transactions, net, partially offset by an increase in other non-interest income of $65,000. Securities losses, net, in the third quarter of 2014 included losses of $262,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio described above, while June 30, 2014 included gains of $175,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio.  

Non-interest expense increased $570,000 or 4.5%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  This was due primarily to a $463,000 increase in other expenses, related to increases in directors' stock compensation and reserves on loan commitments, and a $258,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits primarily due to stock compensation. The increases were partially offset by a $129,000 decrease in professional fees and a $102,000 decrease in data processing costs. 

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to $2.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.  The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, was 34.5%, as compared to 34.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.
