Investors Bancorp, Inc. Announces First Quarter Financial Results and Cash Dividend

Short Hills, N.J. - (PR NEWSWIRE) - April 30, 2015 - Investors Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISBC) (“Company”), the holding company for Investors Bank (“Bank”), reported net income of $41.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to net income of $34.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.12 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.10 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Kevin Cummings, President and CEO commented on the quarter, "While the interest rate environment continues to be challenging, commercial loan demand remains robust. We had another excellent quarter to start 2015 highlighted by near record setting loan origination volumes. In addition, we received early regulatory approval to repurchase our shares, thereby accelerating our capital utilization plan."

The Company announced today that the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share to stockholders of record as of May 11, 2015, payable on May 25, 2015.

The following represents performance highlights and significant events that occurred during the period:

Net loans increased $514.0 million, or 3.5%, to $15.40 billion at March 31, 2015 from $14.89 billion at December 31, 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we originated $546.0 million in multi-family loans, $241.7 million in commercial real estate loans and $119.1 million in C&I loans.

Deposits increased by $184.5 million, or 1.5% from December 31, 2014 to $12.36 billion at March 31, 2015. Core deposits (savings, checking and money market accounts) increased $290.5 million or 3.0% from December 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, core deposits represented approximately 80% of total deposits.

Net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 3.18%. This represents an increase of one basis point compared to the fourth quarter of 2014 and a decrease of 18 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

In March, the Company received regulatory approval to commence a 5% stock repurchase program prior to the one-year anniversary of the completion of its second step conversion.

Comparison of Operating Results

Interest and Dividend Income

Total interest and dividend income increased by $16.5 million, or 10.4%, to $175.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $158.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase is attributed to the average balance of interest-earning assets increasing $2.80 billion or 18.3%, to $18.16 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $15.36 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as a result of organic growth primarily funded by the $2.15 billion capital raise completed in May 2014. This was partially offset by the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets decreasing 27 basis points to 3.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 4.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Interest income on loans increased by $13.1 million, or 9.0%, to $159.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $146.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, reflecting a $1.83 billion or 13.9%, increase in the average balance of net loans to $15.05 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $13.22 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily attributed to the average balance of multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans and C&I loans increasing $1.06 billion, $638.8 million and $310.5 million, respectively, as we continue to focus on diversifying our loan portfolio by adding more multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans and C&I loans. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in the average balance of residential and construction loans of $113.2 million and $45.7 million respectively. In addition, the average yield on net loans decreased 19 basis points to 4.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 4.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflecting lower rates on new and refinanced loans due to the current interest rate environment. Prepayment penalties, which are included in interest income, increased to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Interest income on all other interest-earning assets, excluding loans, increased by $3.5 million or 27.3%, to $16.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase is attributed to the average balance in all other interest-earning assets, excluding loans, increasing $971.5 million to $3.11 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as the Company has grown the securities portfolio with short duration investments. This increase was offset by the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets, excluding loans, decreasing by 30 basis points to 2.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 2.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense increased by $1.3 million, or 4.4%, to $30.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase is due to the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increasing by $385.6 million, or 2.9%, to $13.83 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $13.44 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, the weighted average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities increased 2 basis points to 0.89% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 0.87% March 31, 2014.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits increased $1.6 million, or 11.5% to $16.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase is due to the average balance of total interest-bearing deposits increasing $947.1 million, or 9.4% to $11.03 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $10.09 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 1 basis point to 0.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 0.57% for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased by $364,000 or 2.4%, to $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This is primarily a result of the average balance of borrowed funds decreasing by $561.5 million or 16.7%, to $2.79 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $3.36 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Although there was a decrease to the average balance, the average cost of borrowed funds increased 30 basis points to 2.10% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 1.80% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as lower rate short-term borrowings matured.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income increased by $15.3 million, or 11.8%, to $144.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $129.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to the average balance of interest earning assets increasing $2.80 billion, or 18.3%, to $18.16 billion at March 31, 2015 compared to $15.36 billion at March 31, 2014. This was partially offset by the average balance of our interest bearing liabilities increasing $385.6 million to $13.83 billion at March 31, 2015 compared to $13.44 billion at March 31, 2014, as well as the yield on our interest-earning assets decreasing 27 basis points to 3.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 4.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The net interest spread decreased 29 points to 2.97% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from 3.26% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as the weighted average yield on interest earning assets declined 27 basis points and the weighted average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 2 basis points.

Non-Interest Income

Total non-interest income decreased by $3.4 million, or 28.6% to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in other income related to the bargain purchase gain of $1.5 million, net of tax, relating to the acquisition of Gateway Community Financial Corp ("Gateway") in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Additionally, fees and service charges and gain on securities transactions decreased by $808,000 and $489,000, respectively. Gain on loan transactions decreased by $427,000 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to lower volume of sales in the secondary market.

Non-Interest Expenses

Total non-interest expenses decreased by $290,000, or 0.4%, to $76.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $77.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Data processing, professional fees and occupancy expense have decreased by $714,000, $519,000 and $205,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Included in non-interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.4 million in one time items related to the Gateway and Roma acquisitions. In addition, our FDIC insurance premium decreased $2.6 million due to the continued improvement in asset quality and additional capital raised in the second step offering. These decreases were offset by an increase to compensation and fringe benefits of $3.5 million primarily as a result of the staff additions to support our continued growth and normal merit increases. Full time equivalent employees were 1,704 as of March 31, 2015, an increase of 5% from March 31, 2014.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $25.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, representing an effective tax rate of 37.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Income tax expense was $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which includes the $680,000 tax benefit due to the write up of deferred tax asset as a result of a change in New York state tax law in the first quarter of 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses

Our provision for loan losses was $9.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, net charge-offs were $1.1 million compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Our provision for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily a result of continued organic growth in the loan portfolio, specifically the multi-family, commercial real estate and commercial and industrial portfolios; the inherent credit risk in our overall portfolio, particularly the credit risk associated with commercial real estate lending and commercial and industrial lending; and the level of non-performing loans and delinquent loans. While the economic and real estate conditions in our lending area have improved slightly, management is cautiously optimistic and continues to be prudent in assessing the Company's credit risk.

Our accruing past due loans and non-accrual loans discussed below exclude certain purchased credit impaired (PCI) loans, primarily consisting of loans recorded in the Company's acquisitions. Under U.S. GAAP, the PCI loans (acquired at a discount that is due, in part, to credit quality) are not subject to delinquency classification in the same manner as loans originated by the Bank. The following table sets forth non-accrual loans and accruing past due loans (excluding PCI loans and loans held for sale) on the dates indicated as well as certain asset quality ratios.

Total non-accrual loans increased $12.5 million to $110.1 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $97.6 million at March 31, 2014. We continue to diligently resolve our troubled loans, however it takes a long period of time to resolve residential credits in our lending area. Our allowance for loan loss as a percent of total loans is 1.33% at March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2015, there were $48.9 million of loans deemed troubled debt restructuring, of which $24.2 million were residential and consumer loans, $18.5 million were commercial real estate loans, $4.1 million were construction loans, $1.3 million were commercial and industrial loans and $0.8 million were multi-family loans. Troubled debt restructured loans in the amount of $31.5 million were classified as accruing, $17.3 million of these loans were classified as non-accrual. Excluded in the table above are residential PCI loans in the amount of $121,000 which are classified as troubled debt restructuring at March 31, 2014.

The allowance for loan losses increased by $7.9 million to $208.2 million at March 31, 2015 from $200.3 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in our allowance for loan losses is due to the growth of the loan portfolio and the increased credit risk in our overall portfolio, particularly the inherent credit risk associated with commercial real estate lending and commercial and industrial loans. Future increases in the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on the growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the level of loan delinquency and the economic conditions in our lending area.

Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased by $591.8 million, or 3.2%, to $19.37 billion at March 31, 2015 from $18.77 billion at December 31, 2014. This increase was largely the result of net loans, including loans held for sale, increasing $516.9 million to $15.41 billion at March 31, 2015 from $14.89 billion at December 31, 2014. In addition, securities, in the aggregate, increased by $64.6 million, or 2.3%, to $2.83 billion at March 31, 2015.
 
Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased by $516.9 million, or 3.5%, to $15.41 billion at March 31, 2015 from $14.89 billion at December 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015, total loans were $15.62 billion and included $5.68 billion in residential loans, $5.34 billion in multi-family loans, $3.35 billion in commercial real estate loans, $642.3 million in commercial and industrial loans, $447.7 million in consumer and other loans and $161.6 million in construction loans. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we originated $546.0 million in multi-family loans, $241.7 million in commercial real estate loans, $119.1 million in commercial and industrial loans, $41.5 million in consumer and other loans and $11.8 million in construction loans. This increase in loans reflects our continued focus on generating multi-family loans, commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans, which was partially offset by pay downs and payoffs of loans. Our loans are primarily on properties and businesses located in New Jersey and New York.

We originate residential mortgage loans through our mortgage subsidiary, Investors Home Mortgage Co. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Investors Home Mortgage Co. originated $223.7 million in residential mortgage loans of which $59.8 million were for sale to third party investors and $163.9 million were added to our portfolio. We also purchased mortgage loans from correspondent entities including other banks and mortgage bankers. Our agreements with these correspondent entities require them to originate loans that adhere to our underwriting standards. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we purchased loans totaling $21.3 million from these entities.

Securities, in the aggregate, increased by $64.6 million, or 2.3%, to $2.83 billion at March 31, 2015 from $2.76 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in the portfolio was primarily due to the purchase of agency issued mortgage backed securities partially offset by sales, normal pay downs or maturities during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Deposits increased by $184.5 million or 1.5% to $12.36 billion at March 31, 2015, from December 31, 2014 . Core deposits increased $290.5 million or 3.0%, while there was a decrease of $106.0 million in certificates of deposit. Core deposits now represent approximately 80% of our total deposit portfolio.

Borrowed funds increased $395.5 million, or 14.3%, to $3.16 billion at March 31, 2015 to fund our asset growth.

Stockholders' equity decreased $19.8 million to $3.56 billion at March 31, 2015 from $3.58 billion at December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily attributed to the Company's quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share as well as a special cash dividend of $0.05 per share which was paid to shareholders in February 2015, resulting in a decrease of $35.8 million as well as the repurchase of 2,950,000 shares of common stock for $34.7 million. These decreases are offset by $41.9 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and a $5.9 million decrease to other comprehensive loss due to current market conditions.
