FOX CHASE BANCORP, INC. REPORTS A 28% INCREASE IN EARNINGS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015

 
HATBORO, PA. October 28, 2015 – Fox Chase Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ GS: FXCB), the holding company for Fox Chase Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $2.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, and $7.8 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, and $6.1 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
 
Commenting on performance for the quarter, Thomas M. Petro, President and CEO said, “We are pleased to report a 28% increase in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014.  This earnings improvement was driven by continued execution of our commercial banking strategy and year to date recoveries of $1.1 million (pre-tax) on previously charged-off loans.  As previously disclosed, we continued to incur one-time costs due to our core data processing systems conversion.  These pre-tax costs were $502,000 and $979,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and are expected to approximate $1.3 million for the full year 2015. The conversion was successfully completed in early October as planned.  As we look to the fourth quarter of 2015, we continue to see opportunities to grow despite the slow pace of economic expansion, increased competition and the low interest rate environment.”

· 
Noninterest income increased $373,000 to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase of $100,000 in equity in earnings of affiliate due to higher mortgage volumes, and an increase of $86,000 in income on bank-owned life insurance as the Bank purchased $10.0 million of bank-owned life insurance in the three months ended September 30, 2015.
