WOODBRIDGE, NEW JERSEY, APRIL 23, 2014....NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC. (NasdqGS:NFBK), the holding company for Northfield Bank, reported basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.10 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.09 for the quarter March 31, 2013. Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, included a reduction of compensation and benefits of $937,000 ($560,000, after tax), or $0.01 per share, related to the settlement of the former Flatbush Federal Savings & Loan Association pension plan. Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, also included a charge of $570,000, or $0.01 per share, related to the write-down of deferred assets as a result of tax laws enacted in the State of New York during the first quarter.
Commenting on the first quarter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John W. Alexander noted, “The quarter was highlighted by a more than 11% increase in our earnings per share over the previous quarter. Also, with the lapse of the one year regulatory moratorium on stock repurchases following our conversion to a fully public company, we have implemented a repurchase program as part of our overall capital deployment strategy. As part of this strategy, we also continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that support our lending activities and expand our franchise.”
Mr. Alexander continued, “While competition is fierce for quality loans, we have been successful in attracting borrowers while still maintaining our net interest margin. Notwithstanding significant loan growth, asset quality remains strong and has strengthened further as the economy continues to improve. I also am pleased to announce the Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per common share. The quarterly dividend will be payable on May 21, 2014, to stockholders of record as of May 7, 2014.”

Financial Condition
Total assets decreased $10.8 million, or 0.4%, to $2.69 billion at March 31, 2014, from $2.70 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased securities available-for-sale of $34.7 million and other assets of $2.1 million, partially offset by increases in net loans held-for-investment of $25.6 million, bank owned life insurance of $983,000, and FHLB stock of $1.2 million.
Total loans held-for-investment, net, increased $25.6 million to $1.52 billion at March 31, 2014, as compared to $1.49 billion at December 31, 2013.
Originated loans held-for-investment, net, totaled $1.38 billion at March 31, 2014, as compared to $1.35 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans of $15.0 million, or 4.4%, to $355.2 million at March 31, 2014, from $340.2 million at December 31, 2013, and multifamily real estate loans of $10.2 million, or 1.2%, to $881.2 million at March 31, 2014, from $871.0 million at December 31, 2013. In the current economic environment, management is primarily focused on originating multifamily real estate and home equity loans, with less emphasis on other loan types. The following table details our multifamily real estate originations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
Originations | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Weighted Average Loan-to-Value Ratio | Weighted Average Months to Next Rate Change or Maturity for Fixed Rate Loans | (F)ixed or (V)ariable | Amortization Term | |||||||

498 | 5.25% | 54% | 180 | F | 15 Years | |||||||
$ | 45,567 | 3.85% | 63% | |||||||||
Purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans, primarily acquired as part of a transaction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, totaled $56.9 million at March 31, 2014, as compared to $59.5 million at December 31, 2013. The Company accreted interest income of $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
The Company’s securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $902.4 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $937.1 million at December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, $820.9 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 $4.0 million at March 31, 2014. In addition to the above mortgage-backed securities, the Company held $76.5 million in corporate bonds which were all rated investment grade at March 31, 2014, and $946,000 of equity investments in money market mutual funds.
Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $46.0 million at March 31, 2014, as compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2013.
Total liabilities increased $23.6 million, or 1.2%, to $2.01 billion at March 31, 2014, from $1.99 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to increased borrowings of $26.0 million, securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $3.0 million, and advancements by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $2.3 million, partially offset by decreased deposits of $7.9 million.
Deposits decreased $7.9 million to $1.48 billion at March 31, 2014, as compared to $1.49 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease was attributable to decreases of $8.7 million in certificates of deposit accounts and $3.9 million in transaction accounts, partially offset by increases of $4.7 million in savings accounts. The decline in deposits resulted, in part, from the Company’s decision not to retain higher cost time deposits.
2
Borrowings increased by $29.0 million, or 6.16%, to $499.3 million at March 31, 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 short-term borrowings) and the weighted average rate by year (dollars in thousands):
Year | Amount | Weighted Avg. Rate | |||||
2014 | $ | 91,668 | 1.37 | % | |||
2015 | 127,363 | 2.39 | % | ||||
2016 | 108,910 | 2.18 | % | ||||
2017 | 80,003 | 1.40 | % | ||||
2018 | 87,715 | 1.67 | % | ||||
$ | 495,659 | 1.87 | % | ||||
Total stockholders’ equity decreased by $34.4 million to $681.7 million at March 31, 2014, from $716.1 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to net stock repurchases of $38.3 million and dividend payments of $3.3 million. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and a decrease of $1.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of the decreased interest rate environment.

Loans Subject to Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR) Agreements
Included in non-accruing loans are loans subject to TDR agreements totaling $10.5 million and $10.7 million at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. At March 31, 2014, $8.9 million, or 85.4% of the $10.5 million were not performing in accordance with their restructured terms, as compared to $7.5 million, or 70.4%, at December 31, 2013. Three relationships account for the $8.9 million of loans not performing in accordance with their restructured terms at March 31, 2014, of which one relationship is made of up of several loans totaling $7.4 million 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 $25.6 million and $26.2 million at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. At March 31, 2014, loans of $2.7 million, or 10.4% of the $25.6 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 60 days delinquent at March 31, 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 $552,000 to $584,000 at March 31, 2014, from $32,000 at December 31, 2013. The increase primarily relates to several residential loans that are considered well secured and in the process of collection.
Other real estate owned was $150,000 and $634,000 at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to sales during the quarter.
Accruing Loans 30 to 89 Days Delinquent
Loans 30 to 89 days delinquent and on accrual status at March 31, 2014, totaled $12.9 million, a decrease of $443,000 from the December 31, 2013, balance of $13.3 million. The following table sets forth delinquencies for accruing loans by type and by amount at March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, March 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands).

PCI Loans (Held-for-Investment)
At March 31, 2014, based on recorded contractual principal, 9.3% of PCI loans were past due 30 to 89 days, and 17.1% 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 resulted primarily from declining PCI principal balances of $2.6 million to $56.9 at March 31, 2014, from December 31, 2013.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013
Net income was $5.2 million and $4.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Significant variances from the comparable prior year period are as follows: a $350,000 increase in net interest income, a $1.1 million decrease in non-interest income, a $2.3 million decrease in non-interest expense, and a $1.0 million increase in income tax expense.
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, increased $350,000, or 1.9%, due primarily to a 19 basis point increase in our net interest margin to 3.10% and a decrease of $186,000 in our average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in average interest-earning assets of $114,000. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities was due primarily to decreases in interest-bearing deposits. The 2014 first quarter included loan prepayment income of $535,000, as compared to $490,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The March 31, 2014, quarter also included a recovery of $246,000 of interest income that was previously charged-off related to a loan payoff. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 15 basis points to 0.85% for the current quarter, as compared to 1.00% for the prior year period. Additionally, yields earned on interest-earning assets increased four basis points to 3.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 3.65% for the comparable quarter in 2013.
The provision for loan losses increased $140,000, or 50.5%, to $417,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $277,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the provision for loan losses resulted primarily from loan growth. Originated loans grew approximately $32.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $16.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Net recoveries were $111,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $385,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Non-interest income decreased $1.1 million, or 33.3%, to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily a result of a $1.7 million decrease in gains on securities transactions, net, as there were fewer securities sales in 2014, partially offset by an increase of $318,000 in fees and service charges for customer services and an increase of $219,000 in income earned on bank owned life insurance. Securities gains in the first quarter of 2014 included $69,000 related to the Company’s trading portfolio, while the first quarter of 2013 included securities gains of $243,000 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 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 decreased $2.3 million, or 16.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This is due primarily to a $1.7 million decrease in compensation and employee benefits which is related to the the settlement of a pension plan acquired in the Flatbush Federal Bancorp, Inc. and Flatbush Federal Savings & Loan Association merger (the Merger), the reduction in staff as the result of the Merger, and the mark-to-market adjustment related to the Company's deferred compensation plan which is described above. Data processing costs decreased $786,000, due to conversion costs related to the Merger, and professional fees of $220,000 also contributed to the overall decrease in non-interest expense. The decreases were partially offset by a $219,000 increase in occupancy expense, due to an increase in snow removal costs, and a $249,000 increase in other expenses, primarily related to an increase in OREO expenses.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, was 40.7% as a result of the deferred tax asset write-down of $570,000 related to the New York State tax law change enacted on March 31, 2014, as compared to 35.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The tax reform lowered future marginal tax rates and changed apportionment factors, resulting in a reduction of the Company's deferred tax assets.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013
Net income was $5.2 million and $5.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. Significant variances from the prior quarter are as follows: a $433,000 increase in net interest income, a $447,000 decrease in non-interest income, a $926,000 decrease in non-interest expense, and a $648,000 increase in income tax expense.
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, increased $433,000, or 2.3%, as our net interest margin increased by 15 basis points to 3.10% and interest-bearing liabilities decreased $5.0 million, and was partially offset by interest-earning assets decreasing by $15.3 million. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities was due primarily to decreases in average interest-bearing deposits decreasing $2.0 million and borrowed funds decreasing $3.0 million. The March 31, 2014, quarter included loan prepayment income of $535,000 compared to $290,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The March 31, 2014, quarter also included a recovery of $246,000 of interest income that was previously charged-off related to a loan payoff. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased five basis points to 0.85% for the current quarter as compared to 0.90% for the prior period. Yields earned on interest-earning assets increased by 12 basis points to 3.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 3.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
The provision for loan losses remained relatively flat at $417,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Non-interest income decreased $447,000, or 17.1%, to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $2.6 million at December 31, 2013. Significant variances from the prior quarter were a $392,000 decrease in other non-interest income primarily related to the sale of vacant land adjacent to a branch in 2013, and a $152,000 decrease in gain on securities transactions, net, partially offset by an increase of $132,000 in fees and service charges. Securities gains in the first quarter of 2014, included $69,000 related to the Company’s trading portfolio described above, while the fourth quarter of 2013 included securities gains of $267,000 related to the Company’s trading portfolio.
Non-interest expense decreased $926,000, or 7.1%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013. This is due primarily to a $1.6 million decrease in compensation and employee benefits related to the settlement of a pension plan acquired in the Merger and the mark-to-market adjustment related to the Company's deferred compensation plan which is described above, partially offset by an increase in occupancy expense of $252,000, due to an increase in snow removal costs, and other non-interest expense of $512,000, primarily related to OREO expenses, reserves on loan commitments, and costs associated with non-performing loans.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to $2.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 was 40.7% as a result of the deferred tax asset write-down of $570,000 related to the New York State tax law change enacted on March 31, 2014, as compared to 37.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The tax reform lowered future marginal tax rates and changed apportionment factors, resulting in a reduction of the Company's deferred tax assets.
