Northfield Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:NFBK), the holding company for Northfield Bank, reported basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.10 and $0.18 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $0.05 and $0.11 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Commenting on the second quarter results, John W. Alexander, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer noted, "We continue to focus on producing solid earnings by effectively deploying capital, prudently growing loans, and managing risk to protect and generate returns to our stockholders. Our capital continues to significantly exceed that required to be considered "well capitalized" for regulatory purposes, despite the lingering effects of this difficult economic cycle, and weak loan demand. Although we continue to experience elevated levels of loan delinquencies, our underwriting and focus on real estate lending in our marketplace have resulted in a relatively low level of net charge-offs. We continue to be proactive in resolving troubled loans, and are working to maximize collectibility while we work with those borrowers who have a desire to meet their obligations."

Mr. Alexander continued, "I am pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per common share, payable on August 25, 2010, to stockholders of record as of August 11, 2010."

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $205.9 million, or 10.3%, to $2.2 billion at June 30, 2010, from $2.0 billion at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in securities of $169.1 million and loans held for investment, net, of $43.6 million. In addition, bank owned life insurance increased $10.9 million, primarily resulting from the purchase of $10.0 million of insurance policies during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, coupled with $937,000 of income earned on bank owned life insurance for the six months ended June 30, 2010. 

Loans held for investment, net, totaled $772.9 million at June 30, 2010, as compared to $729.3 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily in multi-family real estate loans, which increased $33.0 million, or 18.5%, to $211.4 million at June 30, 2010, from $178.4 million at December 31, 2009. Commercial real estate loans increased $11.5 million, or 3.5%, to $339.3 million, insurance premium loans increased $9.3 million, or 23.0%, to $49.7 million, and home equity loans increased $4.5 million, or 17.2%, from $26.1 million at December 31, 2009. These increases were partially offset by decreases in residential loans, land and construction loans, and commercial and industrial loans.

The Company's securities portfolio totaled $1.3 billion at June 30, 2010, as compared to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2009, an increase of $169.1 million, or 14.8%. At June 30, 2010, $905.4 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 Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae, referred to as "private label securities." These private label securities had an amortized cost of $128.4 million and an estimated fair value of $132.6 million at June 30, 2010. These private label securities portfolios were in a net unrealized gain position of $4.1 million at June 30, 2010, consisting of gross unrealized gains of $5.9 million and gross unrealized losses of $1.8 million. 

Of the $132.6 million of private label securities, three securities with an estimated fair value of $13.3 million (amortized cost of $14.9 million) are rated less than AAA at June 30, 2010. Of the three securities, one had an estimated fair value of $2.5 million (amortized cost of $2.5 million) and was rated A+, another had an estimated fair value of $6.1 million (amortized cost of $7.2 million) and was rated Caa2, and the remaining security had an estimated fair value of $4.8 million (amortized cost of $5.2 million) and was rated CCC. The Company continues to receive principal and interest payments in accordance with the contractual terms of each of these securities. Management has evaluated, among other things, delinquency status, location of collateral, estimated prepayment speeds, and the estimated default rates and loss severity in liquidating the underlying collateral for each of these three securities. Since management does not have the intent to sell the securities, and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company believes that the unrealized losses at June 30, 2010, were temporary, and as such, were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax.

Total liabilities increased to $1.8 billion at June 30, 2010, from $1.6 billion at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in borrowings of $76.9 million, or 27.5%, an increase in deposits of $63.8 million, or 4.8%, and an increase of $55.9 million in amounts due to securities brokers over the same time period. The increase in borrowings was primarily the result of the Company increasing longer-term borrowings, taking advantage of, and locking in, low interest rates, partially offset by maturities during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was due in part to an increase of $31.9 million in short-term certificates of deposit originated through the CDARS® Network. The Company utilizes this funding supply as a cost effective alternative to other short-term funding sources. In addition, money market deposits, transaction accounts, and savings increased $52.9 million, $2.9 million, and $2.0 million, respectively, from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $25.9 million in certificates of deposit (originated by the Bank) over the same time period. The Company continues to focus its marketing and pricing of its products which it believes promotes longer-term customer relationships. The increase in due to securities brokers was the result of securities purchases occurring prior to June 30, 2010, and settling after the quarter end.

Total stockholders' equity increased to $399.7 million at June 30, 2010, from $391.5 million at December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to net income of $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $5.3 million. A decrease in market interest rates increased the estimated fair value of our securities available for sale. The increase in stockholders' equity also was due to a $1.9 million increase in additional paid-in capital primarily related to the recognition of compensation expense associated with equity awards. These increases were partially offset by $5.2 million in stock repurchases, and the payment of approximately $1.6 million in cash dividends for the six months ended June 30, 2010. On June 4, 2010, in connection with the Company's announcement that it intends to convert to a fully public company, the Board of Directors terminated its previously announced stock repurchase program. Since inception of the program, the Company has purchased 2,083,934 shares of common stock at an average cost of $11.99 per share.

Northfield Bank's (the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary) Tier 1 (core) capital ratio was approximately 13.48%, at June 30, 2010. The Bank's total risk-based capital ratio was approximately 27.70% at the same date. These ratios continue to significantly exceed the required regulatory capital ratios necessary to be considered "well capitalized" under current federal capital regulations.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans totaled $51.5 million (6.7% of total loans) at June 30, 2010, as compared to $50.0 million (6.8% of total loans) at March 31, 2010, $41.8 million (5.7% of total loans) at December 31, 2009, $35.7 million (5.4% of total loans) at September 30, 2009, and $31.0 million (4.7% of total loans) at June 30, 2009. The following table also shows, for the same dates, troubled debt restructurings on which interest is accruing, and accruing loans delinquent 30 to 89 days (dollars in thousands).

Accruing loans 30 to 89 days delinquent  $30,619  38,371  28,283  35,466  33,290

Total non-accruing loans increased $7.1 million, to $51.4 million at June 30, 2010, from $44.3 million at March 31, 2010. This increase was attributable to the following loans being placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended June 30, 2010: $7.9 million of commercial real estate loans, $550,000 of construction and land loans, $381,000 of commercial and industrial loans, $202,000 of one-to-four family residential loans, and $119,000 of home equity loans. The above increases in non-accruing loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 are net of charge-offs of $348,000, and have $181,000 in specific reserves allocated to them at June 30, 2010. These increases were partially offset by payoffs of a $557,000 multifamily loan and a $262,000 one-to-four family residential loan, coupled with principal paydowns of approximately $1.2 million. At June 30, 2010, $22.4 million, or 79.7% of loans subject to restructuring agreements (accruing and non-accruing) were performing in accordance with their restructured terms.

Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest decreased to $77,000 from $5.7 million at March 31, 2010. The majority of the decrease was due to loans being refinanced by the Company to permanent real estate mortgage loans in accordance with our current underwriting standards.

Generally, loans are placed on non-accrual status when they become 90 days or more delinquent, and remain on non-accrual status until they are brought current, have six months of performance under the loan terms, and factors indicating reasonable doubt about the timely collection of payments no longer exist. Therefore, loans may be current in accordance with their loan terms, or may be less than 90 days delinquent, and still be on a non-accruing status.

The following tables detail the delinquency status of non-accruing loans at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (dollars in thousands).

Loans 30 to 89 days delinquent and on accrual status at June 30, 2010 totaled $30.6 million, a decrease of $7.8 million, from the March 31, 2010 balance of $38.4 million. Included in this category at June 30, 2010 were $10.9 million of commercial real estate loans, $8.1 million of multifamily loans, $4.7 million of one-to-four family loans, and $4.2 million of construction and land loans. 

Other real estate owned decreased $171,000, to $1.4 million at June 30, 2010 from $1.5 million at March 31, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to sales of other real estate owned during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. 

Results of Operations

Net income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, was $4.2 million and $7.6 million, respectively, as compared to $2.1 million and $4.9 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. 

Net interest income increased $2.1 million, or 15.0%, due primarily to average interest earning assets increasing $255.4 million, or 14.8%, with net interest margin remaining flat at 3.23% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The average yield earned on interest earning assets decreased 43 basis points, or 8.8%, to 4.47% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared to 4.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. This change was offset by a 64 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities over the comparable periods. The average yield earned on interest earning assets and net interest margin were positively affected by interest income recorded on non-accrual loans on a cash basis. The loan portfolio has a weighted average coupon rate of approximately 6.16% at June 30, 2010. The general decline in yields was due to the overall low interest rate environment. The increase in average interest earning assets was due primarily to an increase in average loans outstanding, of $117.4 million, and other securities of $188.1 million, partially offset by decreases in mortgage-backed securities and interest-earning assets in other financial institutions. Other securities consist primarily of investment-grade corporate bonds, and government-sponsored enterprise bonds.

Non-interest income increased $342,000, or 22.4%, to $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, primarily as a result of an increase of $236,000 in gain on securities transactions, net. The Company recognized $530,000 in gains on securities transactions during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $294,000 in gains on securities transactions during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Securities gains in the second quarter of 2010 included gross realized gains of $785,000 on the sale of mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by securities losses of $255,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio. The Company recognized $294,000 of securities gains related to the Company's trading portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The trading portfolio is utilized to fund the Company's deferred compensation obligation to certain employees and directors of the Company. 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 non-interest expense, reflecting the change in the Company's obligations under the plan. The Company does not expect to continue to recognize the level of gains on the sale of available for sale securities that it recognized this quarter. The Company also recognized approximately $197,000 of income on the sale of fixed assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, also was positively affected by a decrease of $604,000 in non-interest expense, which was primarily attributable to a decrease of $608,000 in FDIC insurance expense. FDIC insurance expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 included $770,000 related to an FDIC special assessment. 

The provision for loan losses was $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010; a decrease of $301,000, or 9.7%, from the $3.1 million provision recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the current quarter was due primarily to the change in the composition of our loan portfolio, partially offset by increases in general loss factors. These increases in the general loss factors utilized in management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio were a result of declines in collateral values supporting our loans and further deterioration of our local economy. During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we continued our emphasis of originating multifamily real estate loans which resulted in less growth in commercial real estate loans as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risk than multifamily real estate loans. Net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, were $822,000, as compared to $854,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.3 million and $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, was 35.9%, as compared to 33.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The increase in the effective tax rate was the result of a higher level of taxable income in 2010 as compared to 2009. 

Net income increased $2.7 million, or 55.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, due primarily to an increase of $3.9 million in net interest income, and an increase of $1.1 million in non-interest income, partially offset by an increase of $735,000 in non-interest expense and an increase of $1.5 million in income tax expense over the same time period.

Net interest income increased $3.9 million, or 14.5%, due primarily to interest earning assets increasing $256.9 million, or 15.1%, partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin of one basis point, or 0.3%, over the prior year comparable period. The net interest margin decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2010, as the average yield earned on interest earning assets decreased, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The general decline in yields was due to the overall low interest rate environment. The increase in average interest earning assets was due primarily to an increase in average loans outstanding of $125.2 million, and other securities of $191.3 million, being partially offset by decreases in mortgage-backed securities, and interest-earning assets in other financial institutions. Other securities consist primarily of investment-grade corporate bonds, and government-sponsored enterprise bonds.

Non-interest income increased $1.1 million, or 44.0%, primarily as a result of an increase of $1.0 million in gain on securities transactions, net for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company recognized $1.1 million in gains on securities transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $140,000 in gains on securities transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Securities gains during the six months ended June 30, 2010 included gross realized gains of $1.0 million on the sale of mortgage-backed securities, coupled with securities gains of $90,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, securities gains included gross realized gains of $7,000 on the sale of mortgage-backed securities, coupled with securities gains of $133,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio. The Company also recognized approximately $197,000 of income on the sale of fixed assets during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was negatively affected by an increase in non-interest expense of $735,000, or 4.4%. The increase in non-interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to an increase of $910,000 in compensation and employee benefits expense, which resulted primarily from increases in full time equivalent employees primarily related to our insurance premium finance division formed in October 2009, higher health care costs, and to a lesser extent, salary adjustments effective January 1, 2010. In addition, other non-interest expense also increased $589,000, or 28.2%, from the six months ended June 30, 2009 to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This increase is primarily attributable to an insurance premium finance division license agreement. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a decrease of $592,000 in FDIC insurance expense over the same time period. FDIC insurance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 included $770,000 related to the FDIC's special assessment. 

The provision for loan losses remained flat at $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The primary reason for the provision for loan losses remaining flat was due to increases in the general loss factors utilized in management's estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio which resulted from declines in collateral values supporting our loans and further deterioration of our local economy, being offset by the effect of lower levels of growth in non-performing loans and a decline in loan growth for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Furthermore, during the six months ended June 30, 2010, we continued our emphasis of originating multifamily real estate loans which resulted in less growth in commercial real estate loans as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risk than multifamily real estate loans. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2010, were $1.0 million, as compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.    

The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.2 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2010, was 35.6%, as compared to 35.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in the effective tax rate was the result of a higher percentage of pre-tax income being subject to taxation in 2010, as compared to 2009.
