NewAlliance Reports Record 2010 Net Income of $58.0 million or $0.59 EPS;
Excluding Merger Expenses, Record EPS of $0.71, up 50% from 2009

4Q EPS of $0.11; Excluding Merger Expenses, EPS of $0.20

New Haven, Connecticut, January 25, 2011 NewAlliance Bancshares, Inc. (NYSE: NAL), the holding company for NewAlliance Bank, today released the results of its operations for the fourth quarter and full year 2010.

For 2010, net income was $58.0 million or $0.59 per diluted share compared to $46.4 million or $0.47 per diluted share, a 25% increase. Excluding merger-related expenses, net income would have been $69.7 million or $0.71 per diluted share, a 50% increase.

Net income for the quarter was $11.3 million or $0.11 per diluted share. This compares to $12.1 million or $0.12 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2009, or compared to the linked quarter, net income of $13.9 million or $0.14 per diluted share.
 
Excluding merger-related expenses, NewAlliance achieved record net income of  $19.7 million or $0.20 per diluted share for the fourth quarter, a 63% increase over last year’s fourth quarter. Excluding merger related expenses in the third and fourth quarters, net income increased 17% on a linked quarter basis.

Revenue momentum has continued at record levels in each quarter through 2010. In the fourth quarter, revenue of $75.8 million increased over the linked quarter by over 1%, and for the year, total revenue of $295.4 million increased by nearly 13% over 2009 revenue.

“The strong results in the fourth quarter reflect the completion of a banner year with record earnings,” stated Peyton R. Patterson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “By focusing on our strong banking fundamentals to meet our customers’ needs, we have increased both deposits and lending relationships to grow our assets to a milestone of over $9 billion – up 7% from a year ago.”

The Board of Directors voted today to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share to shareholders of record on February 4, 2011 and payable on February 15, 2011. This will be the Company’s 27th consecutive quarterly dividend payment.

Loan and Deposit Growth
Loan originations for the fourth quarter and the full year reached record levels. For the fourth quarter, total originations were up 7% from the linked quarter to a record $640.9 million, and for the full year, originations increased by nearly 45% to     $2.16 billion.

For the fourth quarter, loan balances increased slightly led by commercial loan balances that were up 2% over the linked quarter. Loan balances for the year were $5.09 billion, up 7% from a year ago. Residential balances of $2.54 billion were up 6% for the year, while commercial balances of $1.64 billion were up 14%.

For the fourth quarter, the largest gain in deposits was in checking. The increase of nearly 5% in checking deposits demonstrates that NewAlliance is continuing to attract core business and retail relationships. For the full year 2010, checking deposits increased by 10% over 2009.

Average interest-bearing deposits for the quarter were $4.60 billion compared to $4.54 billion for the third quarter, an increase of 1%. For the full year 2010, average interest-bearing deposit balances were up nearly 6% to $4.53 billion from         $4.29 billion in 2009.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income before provision was $60.6 million, up slightly over the linked quarter. Comparing the full year net interest income of $234.3 million for 2010 was an increase of 15% over 2009.

Net interest margin, while down at the end of the quarter to 3.02% from 3.08% at the end of the linked quarter, increased for the full year by 34 basis points from 2.68% at the end of 2009.

The cost of deposits for the end of December 2010 was 93 basis points, the same as at the end of September. This represents a decrease of 39 basis points from 132 basis points at the end of December 2009. The cost of borrowings was reduced by  28 basis points on a linked quarter basis to 267 basis points, and lower by 129 basis points year over year.

Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest income of $15.3 million was up 4% from the linked quarter and increased by 3% to $61.2 million for the year. Although the largest segment of non-interest income, depositor service charges, was down 6% from the linked quarter, the impact of reduced overdraft fees was somewhat mitigated by an increase in debit card fees and merchant services income. Year over year, depositor service charges were up by 3%.

Trust and brokerage fee income was up 5% on a linked quarter basis, benefitting from rising asset values through the quarter. The brokerage area also added to its professional staff and experienced more customers moving back into the market as indices began to rise. For the total year, trust and brokerage income was down by 4% from 2009.

During 2010, NewAlliance had a net securities gain of $1.2 million compared to    $5.9 million in 2009. It also realized a net gain on limited partnerships of $4.0 million during 2010 compared to a loss of $575,000 in 2009.

For the fourth quarter, non-interest expense was $50.9 million, which included    $7.2 million of merger related expense. The linked quarter also included $4.6 million in merger related expense. Excluding merger related expenses, non-interest expense would have been $43.7 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $45.6 million in the prior quarter.

Total non-interest expense for the year was $187.0 million, which included        $12.3 million in merger related expense. Excluding the merger related expense, non-interest expense of $174.7 million compared to $172.1 million for 2009.

“Operating leverage, excluding merger related expenses and security gains, continued to improve throughout the year,” said Glenn I. MacInnes, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “On a full year basis, revenues grew nearly 15% while expenses, excluding merger related expenses, grew just under 2%, accelerating our earnings growth momentum.”

The efficiency ratio for the year, excluding merger related expenses, was 59.79%, compared to 66.55% in 2009.

The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was 48.85% as compared to 32.83% for the linked quarter and 33.08% for the prior year quarter.  Absent merger-related activity, the effective tax rate would have been in line with the prior quarter and prior year quarter rates.

Credit Quality
“Sound underwriting practices have preserved the NewAlliance credit quality as one of the best in its peer group. Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans were 1.47% and continue to be well below industry averages,” commented Don T. Chaffee, Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer. “In addition, the Bank has continued to extend lending relationships to new and existing customers increasing its loan balances by 7% in 2010 without loosening credit standards.”

Total non-performing loans were $74.9 million at the end of the fourth quarter compared to $68.3 million at the end of the linked quarter and $50.5 million at the end of 2009. The allowance for loan losses remained at 1.08%, the same as at the end of the third quarter and lower than the 1.10% at the end of 2009.

Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter were $2.1 million compared to $4.4 million for the linked quarter. For the year, net charge-offs were $14.2 million, or 28 basis points, compared to $15.4, or 32 basis points, for 2009. The provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter was $2.7 million, down from $4.0 million in the linked quarter, and the provision for the year of $17.0 million also demonstrated a lower trend from the 2009 provision of $18.0 million.
