Analysis of Earnings – Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2017
Net income for the first nine months of 2017 was
$27.6 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 18.0%, over the same
period last year. The increase is primarily attributable to
increases in net interest income of $8.5 million, or 13.3%, and
noninterest income, before securities gains, of $931,000, or 16.5%.
The impact of these items was partially offset by increases
in the provision for loan losses of $1.7 million, noninterest
expense, before debt extinguishment costs, of $1.7 million, or
4.5%, and income tax expense of $1.8 million.
The increase in net interest income was mainly
attributable to growth in average interest-earning assets of $352.3
million, or 11.0%, which was driven by an increase in the average
balance of loans of $398.8 million, or 17.2%. Although most
of the loan growth occurred in mortgage loans, commercial and
industrial loans also grew with an increase in average outstandings
of $25.9 million, or 26.2%. In addition to a $34.5 million
decrease in the average balance of investment securities, the
growth in loans was almost entirely funded by growth in the average
balances of noninterest-bearing checking deposits of $78.8 million,
or 10.1%, interest-bearing deposits of $143.3 million, or 8.0%,
short-term borrowings of $94.3 million and stockholders’ equity of
$43.6 million, or 15.3%. Substantial contributors to the
growth in deposits were new branch openings and the Bank’s ongoing
municipal deposit initiative. Substantial contributors to the
growth in stockholders’ equity were net income, $35.3 million of
capital raised in an underwritten public offering in the first half
of 2016 and the ongoing issuance of shares under the Corporation’s
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. These sources
of capital were partially offset by the declaration of cash
dividends and a decrease in the after-tax amount of unrealized
gains on available-for-sale securities.
Net interest income also benefitted from an
improvement in the Bank’s net interest margin. Net interest
margin was 2.92% for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to
2.89% for the comparable period in 2016. The increase in net
interest margin is attributable to higher portfolio yields on loans
and securities and an increase in prepayment penalties and late
charges from $1.5 million for the first nine months of 2016 to $1.8
million for the current nine month period. The impact of
these items was partially offset by higher rates on deposits and
borrowings. The current level of net interest margin reflects
the low interest rate environment that has persisted for an
extended period of time. Management anticipates that net
interest margin may be difficult to maintain and could even decline
and inhibit earnings growth.
The increase in noninterest income, before
securities gains, of $931,000, or 16.5%, is primarily attributable
to increases in income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) of
$345,000, service charges on deposit accounts of $140,000,
checkbook income of $83,000 and Investment Management Division
income of $67,000. Also contributing to the increase in
noninterest income were refunds of sales taxes, real estate taxes
and telecommunications charges amounting to $184,000. Cash
value accretion increased largely because of purchases of BOLI
during the first quarter of 2017 with an initial cash value of $25
million. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts
is due to higher overdraft and maintenance and activity charges
resulting from, among other things, growth in the number of deposit
accounts. Growth in the number of deposits accounts also
contributed to the increase in checkbook income. Investment
Management Division income increased largely because improved
equity market conditions resulted in an increase in assets under
management.
The increase in noninterest expense, before debt
extinguishment costs, of $1.7 million, or 4.5%, is primarily
attributable to increases in salaries of $1.5 million, or 9.2%,
employee benefits expense of $280,000, or 5.4%, occupancy and
equipment expense of $601,000, or 8.7%, marketing expense of
$320,000, dues and subscriptions of $113,000 and legal fees of
$94,000. The impact of these items was partially offset by
decreases in consulting fees of $663,000, computer and
telecommunications expense of $538,000 and FDIC insurance expense
of $216,000. The increase in salaries is primarily due to new
branch openings, additions to staff in the back office, higher
stock-based compensation expense and normal annual salary
adjustments. The increase in employee benefits expense
resulted primarily from increases in group health insurance expense
of $233,000, incentive compensation expense of $95,000 and payroll
tax expense of $76,000, partially offset by a decrease in
retirement plan expense of $200,000. The increase in group
health insurance expense resulted from increases in staff count and
the rates being charged by insurance carriers and the decrease in
retirement plan expense resulted from an increase in the discount
rate and favorable performance of plan assets. The increase
in occupancy and equipment expense is primarily due to the
operating costs of new branches and depreciation of the Bank’s
facilities and equipment. The increase in marketing expense
is largely due to new branch and deposit account promotions.
The decrease in consulting fees is mainly due to a charge of
$800,000 in the second quarter of 2016 for advisory services
rendered in connection with renegotiating the Bank’s data
processing contract. The decrease in computer and
telecommunications expense reflects the cost savings arising from
this renegotiation and one-time expenses of approximately $126,000
incurred in the 2016 period related to changes in the Corporation’s
network and security systems. The decrease in FDIC insurance
expense is attributable to a lower FDIC assessment rate effective
July 1, 2016, partially offset by a growth-related increase in the
assessment base.
Securities gains of $74,000 in the first nine
months of 2017 are primarily attributable to a deleveraging
transaction executed in the first quarter. This transaction
involved the sale of approximately $40 million of
available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities and use of the
resulting proceeds to pay down short-term borrowings. During
the second quarter of 2016, the Bank also executed a deleveraging
transaction. That transaction involved the sale of
$40.3 million of mortgage-backed securities at a gain of $1,795,000
and the prepayment of $30 million of long-term debt at a cost of
$1,756,000. These deleveraging transactions were undertaken
to eliminate inefficient leverage and accrete Tier 1 leverage
capital.
The $1.7 million increase in the provision for
loan losses is mainly due to more loan growth in the current
nine-month period, the establishment of a specific reserve of
$820,000 on one impaired loan and a decrease of $382,000 in
specific reserves on loans individually deemed to be impaired in
the same period last year. Also contributing to the increase
was a larger decline in historical loss rates in the 2016 period
than the current nine-month period. The impact of these items
was partially offset by improved economic conditions in the first
nine months of 2017. The $820,000 specific reserve was
established on one impaired loan with a current outstanding balance
of $6.9 million that was transferred to nonaccrual status during
the second quarter of 2017.
The $1.8 million increase in income tax expense
is mainly attributable to higher pre-tax earnings in the first nine
months of 2017 than the same period last year and a decline in the
amount of pre-tax income from tax-exempt securities. The
impact of these items was partially offset by larger tax benefits
derived from BOLI and the vesting and exercise of stock awards in
the current nine-month period. The vesting and exercise of
stock awards resulted in tax benefits of $630,000 and $301,000 in
the first nine months of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Analysis of Earnings – Third Quarter 2017
Versus Third Quarter 2016
Net income for the third quarter of 2017 was
$9.3 million, representing an increase of $1.3 million, or 16.8%,
over $8.0 million earned in the third quarter of last year.
The increase is primarily attributable to increases in net interest
income of $3.0 million and income from BOLI of $66,000. These
items were partially offset by increases in salaries of $694,000,
employee benefits expense of $138,000, occupancy and equipment
expense of $159,000 and income tax expense of $730,000. Third
quarter variances occurred for substantially the same reasons
discussed above with respect to the nine-month periods.
Analysis of Earnings – Third Quarter
Versus Second Quarter 2017
Net income for the third quarter of 2017
increased $209,000 over the second quarter. The increase is
primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income of
$910,000 and decreases in the provision for loan losses of $171,000
and marketing expense of $248,000. These items were partially
offset by increases in salaries of $144,000 and income tax expense
of $764,000 and second quarter refunds of sales taxes and
telecommunications charges of $155,000. The increase in net
interest income is due to higher prepayment fees and late charges
of $700,000 and growth in the average balance of loans. The
increase in salaries occurred for substantially the same reasons
discussed above with respect to the nine-month periods. The
increase in income tax expense is mainly attributable to higher
pretax earnings and a $279,000 decrease in tax benefits derived
from the vesting and exercise of stock awards. The decrease
in the provision for loan losses is primarily due to lower loan
growth in the third quarter and the fact that the aforementioned
$820,000 specific reserve was established in the second
quarter. The impact of these items was partially offset by an
adjustment made in the second quarter to reflect improved
conditions in the local housing market.
Asset Quality
The Bank’s allowance for loan losses to total
loans of 1.17% at September 30, 2017 was virtually unchanged from
1.18% at December 31, 2016. The provision for loan losses was
$3.2 million and $1.5 million in the first nine months 2017 and
2016, respectively. The provision in each period was largely
driven by loan growth. The provision in the first nine months
of 2017 was also driven by the establishment of the aforementioned
specific reserve as partially offset by improvement in the local
housing market and overall economic conditions. The provision
in the 2016 period benefitted more than the current period
provision from a decline in historical loss rates.
The overall credit quality of the Bank’s loan
portfolio remains excellent. Nonaccrual loans amounted to
$8.9 million, or .32% of total loans outstanding, at September 30,
2017, compared to $2.6 million, or .10%, at December 31,
2016. The increase is primarily attributable to one impaired
loan previously mentioned, partially offset by paydowns and loans
returned to an accrual status based on the demonstrated ability of
the borrowers to service their debt. Troubled debt
restructurings amounted to $1.2 million, or .04% of total loans
outstanding, at September 30, 2017, representing a decrease of
$377,000 from year-end 2016. Of the troubled debt
restructurings at quarter-end, $1.0 million are performing in
accordance with their modified terms and $159,000 are nonaccrual
and included in the aforementioned amount of nonaccrual
loans. The $377,000 decrease in troubled debt restructurings
was primarily attributable to the payoff of one loan and the
paydown on another loan. Loans past due 30 through 89 days
amounted to $1.7 million, or .06% of total loans outstanding, at
September 30, 2017, compared to $1.1 million, or .04%, at December
31, 2016. Management does not believe that the increases in
nonaccrual loans and loans past due 30 through 89 days are
indicative of a deterioration in the overall credit quality of the
Bank’s loan portfolio.
The credit quality of the Bank’s securities
portfolio also remains excellent. The Bank’s mortgage
securities are backed by mortgages underwritten on conventional
terms, with 60% of these securities being full faith and credit
obligations of the U.S. government and the balance being
obligations of U.S. government sponsored entities. The
remainder of the Bank’s securities portfolio principally consists
of high quality, general obligation municipal securities rated AA
or better by major rating agencies. In selecting municipal
securities for purchase, the Bank uses credit agency ratings for
screening purposes only and then performs its own credit
analysis. On an ongoing basis, the Bank periodically assesses
the credit strength of the municipal securities in its portfolio
and makes decisions to hold or sell based on such assessments.
Capital
The Corporation’s Tier 1 leverage, Common Equity
Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Total risk-based capital
ratios were approximately 9.2%, 15.3%, 15.3% and 16.6%,
respectively, at September 30, 2017. The strength of the
Corporation’s balance sheet positions the Corporation for continued
growth in a measured and disciplined fashion.
During the first quarter of 2017, the
Corporation’s Board of Directors increased the amount of stock that
an individual can purchase on a quarterly basis under the stock
purchase component of the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase
Plan (the “Plan”) from $50,000 to $75,000. This change is
providing additional capital that is being used to accommodate
balance sheet growth. Common stock issued under the Plan
relating to 2017 dividend declarations totaled $18.7 million.
Future levels of dividend reinvestment and stock purchases cannot
be projected.
Key Strategic Initiatives
Key strategic initiatives will continue to
include loan and deposit growth through effective relationship
management, targeted solicitation efforts, new product offerings
and continued expansion of the Bank’s branch distribution system on
Long Island and in the New York City boroughs of Queens and
Brooklyn. With respect to loan growth, the Bank will continue
to prudently manage concentration risk and further develop its
broker and correspondent relationships. Small business credit
scored loans, equipment finance loans and SBA loans, along with the
Bank’s traditional commercial and industrial loan products, will be
originated to diversify the Bank’s loan portfolio and help mitigate
the impact of the low rate environment on the Bank’s earnings.
The Bank’s growing branch distribution system
consists of forty-eight branches in Nassau and Suffolk Counties,
Long Island and the boroughs of Queens, Brooklyn and
Manhattan. The Bank expects to open four to six more branches
in Queens and Brooklyn by the end of 2018 and continues to evaluate
sites for further branch expansion. In addition to loan and
deposit growth, management is also focused on growing noninterest
income from existing and potential new sources, which may include
the development or acquisition of fee-based businesses.
Challenges We Face
Beginning in December 2015, there have been four
twenty-five basis point increases in the federal funds target rate
to its current level of 1% to 1.25%. These increases have
exerted upward pressure on non-maturity deposit rates and have
caused such rates to trend upward. Further increases in the
federal funds target rate are expected in the foreseeable
future. At the same time, the Bank generally lends and
invests at a spread to intermediate and long-term interest rates
which remain relatively low and without what management believes to
be near term prospects for meaningful improvement. This
together with significant price competition for loans in the Bank’s
marketplace have resulted in suboptimal investing and lending
rates. The mortgage loan pipeline of $118 million at the most
recent quarter end is down from $177 million at the end of last
quarter and $193 million at year end 2016. The decrease in
the pipeline is reflective of, among other things, the Bank’s
pricing of loans relative to the market and a softening of demand
by quality borrowers. These factors could cause loan growth
in the upcoming quarters to be lower than that experienced thus far
this year. The
banking industry continues to be faced with new and complex
regulatory requirements and enhanced supervisory oversight.
The markets expect that regulatory relief and tax reform will be
forthcoming, but the timing, magnitude and positive impact of any
such changes are yet to be determined. In the current
environment, banking regulators are increasingly concerned about,
among other things, growth, commercial real estate concentrations,
underwriting of commercial real estate and commercial and
industrial loans, capital levels, cyber security and predatory
sales practices. Regulatory requirements and enhanced
oversight are exerting downward pressure on revenues and upward
pressure on required capital levels and the cost of doing
business.

(1) Tax-equivalent basis. Interest income on a tax-equivalent
basis includes the additional amount of interest income that would
have been earned if the Corporation's investment in tax-exempt
loans and investment securities had been made in loans and
investment securities subject to Federal income taxes yielding the
same after-tax income. The tax-equivalent amount of $1.00 of
nontaxable income was $1.54 for each period presented using the
statutory Federal income tax rate of 35%.
