New York, N.Y., July 24, 2012 — Sterling Bancorp (NYSE: STL) today reported a 94% increase in net income available to common shareholders for the 2012 second quarter, rising to $4.9 million from $2.5 million in the 2011 second quarter. Net income available to common shareholders per share doubled to $0.16 for the 2012 second quarter, from$0.08 in the year-ago period.

For the first six months of 2012, net income available to common shareholders rose 63% to $9.5 million from $5.8 million in the same period of 2011. Net income available to common shareholders per share was up55% to $0.31 for the first six months of 2012, from $0.20 in the year-ago period. Results for the 2011 second quarter and six months included dividends on preferred shares and accretion of $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to TARP preferred shares and warrants to purchase common shares, which were redeemed in April 2011.

Execution of Growth Strategies Drives Positive Momentum

“Sterling delivered outstanding second quarter results,” said Louis J. Cappelli, Sterling’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our EPS doubled on the strength of our continued growth in loans and deposits, higher total revenues, well-controlled expenses and further improvements in our already solid asset quality metrics.”

“Our performance is a reflection of Sterling’s strong core earnings power – as we have focused our strategies on positioning the Company for profitable growth and increasing shareholder value,” Mr. Cappelli continued. “We have aligned our product portfolio to serve the needs of businesses and others in the New York City-metropolitan region and beyond – a dynamic and robust market. We have a depth of expertise in an array of products, including categories that are often overlooked or underserved by competitors, which gives us many opportunities for growth. We also have pursued an ongoing strategy to redeploy assets from our sizeable and liquid investment portfolio into loans, producing an improvement in our yield and net interest margin. At the same time, we have a diversified revenue-generation capacity; our relatively high level of noninterest income, at approximately 30% of total revenues, provides balance and consistency at a time when loan yields are affected by the low interest rate environment. And we have contributed to our positive momentum through well-controlled expenses, which increased only $388 thousand compared to the $1.4 million growth in total revenues in the recent quarter. In addition, asset quality has continued to improve from an already solid base.”

“We feel very positive about our ability to drive profitable growth during the remainder of this year,” noted Mr. Cappelli. “We remain focused on delivering increasing shareholder value by expanding our business volume and market share, growing our revenues, and maintaining control of expenses along with rigorous asset quality standards.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income rose 7% to $22.9 million for the 2012 second quarter, from $21.4 million for the 2011 second quarter. This primarily reflected the Company’s execution of its strategy to shift the asset mix toward higher loan balances and lower investment securities balances, with a resulting increase in yields, while also taking a disciplined approach to reducing funding costs. Net interest margin increased to 4.04% for the 2012 second quarter, up 14 basis points compared to the year-ago period. For the first six months of 2012, net interest income increased to $45.3 million, from $41.2 million for the 2011 period.

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income was $10.7 million for the 2012 second quarter, compared to $10.4 million in the 2011 second quarter. This increase primarily reflected higher mortgage banking income and service charges, partially offset by lower accounts receivable management and other related fees and reduced securities gains. For the first six months of 2012, total noninterest income was $21.1 million, versus $21.4 million in the year-ago period. Noninterest income was a key contributor to Sterling’s financial performance, representing approximately 29% of total revenue in both the second quarter and first six months of 2012.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expenses were $23.8 million for the 2012 second quarter, an increase of only $388 thousand or less than 2%, from the 2011 second quarter. For the first six months of 2012, noninterest expenses were $47.0 million, an increase of approximately 2% from the same period of 2011.

Loans, Deposits and Total Assets

Total loans held in portfolio were $1.57 billion at June 30, 2012, increasing 15% from a year earlier. Sterling continues to have a robust loan pipeline and ample liquidity to support loan growth. The ratio of portfolio loans to deposits was approximately 76.6% at June 30, 2012.

Total deposits were$2.04 billion at June 30, 2012. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $786.4 million at June 30, 2012, a $184.1 million increase from a year ago, and represented 38% of total deposits, among the highest ratios of demand to total deposits in the industry.

Total assets were $2.55 billion at June 30, 2012, essentially unchanged from $2.58 billion a year ago.

Asset Quality

Sterling continued to exhibit strong credit quality metrics during the 2012 second quarter. The provision for loan losses decreased to $2.75 million from $3.0 million for the same quarter of 2011, representing the lowest provision since the fourth quarter of 2008. Net charge-offs were $1.7 million for the 2012 second quarter, the lowest level since the third quarter of 2008, and compared to $2.5 million a year ago. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonaccrual loans was 377% at June 30, 2012, versus 323% a year earlier. Nonperforming assets were $7.1 million or 0.28% of total assets at June 30, 2012, compared to $7.7 million or 0.30% a year ago. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of portfolio loans was 1.35% at June 30, 2012, essentially unchanged from a year earlier.

Capital

The Company’s capital base has continued to exceed all regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions. At June 30, 2012, Sterling’s Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 11.81% (compared to a requirement of 6.00%), total risk-based capital was 12.89% (requirement of 10.00%), and the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.58% (requirement of 5.00%).

STERLING BANCORP
Reconciliation of Tangible Common Equity, Average Tangible Equity and Tangible Assets

(Unaudited)
(dollars in thousands)

This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the following tables, which has been determined by methods other than U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to both management and investors in evaluating Sterling’s capital position. Tangible common equity represents shareholders’ equity less preferred equity (if any), goodwill and other intangibles. Tangible assets are equal to total assets less goodwill and other intangibles. Tangible common equity ratio is calculated by dividing tangible common equity by tangible assets. Average tangible equity represents average shareholders’ equity less average goodwill and other intangible assets. Return on average tangible equity is calculated by dividing net income (annualized) by average tangible equity. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results, and Sterling strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, and, therefore, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures that may have the same or similar names.
