Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.26 Per Share Declared; 10% Stock Repurchase Program Authorized LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Astoria Financial Corporation (NYSE:AF) ("Astoria", the "Company"), the holding company for Astoria Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Astoria Federal"), today reported net income of $35.8 million, or $0.38 diluted earnings per share ("EPS"), for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to $48.9 million, or $0.49 EPS, for the 2006 first quarter. For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, returns on average equity, average tangible equity and average assets were 11.81%, 13.93% and 0.67%, respectively, compared to 14.77%, 17.17% and 0.88%, respectively, for the comparable 2006 period. 2007 First Quarter Financial Highlights: * Deposits increased $198 million, or 6% annualized * Loan portfolio increased $124 million, or 3% annualized * One-to-four family loan portfolio increased $156 million, or 6% annualized * Securities portfolio decreased $252 million, or 19% annualized * Borrowings decreased $440 million, or 26% annualized * Repurchased 1.0 million shares Commenting on the first quarter results, George L. Engelke, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Astoria, noted, "While the operating environment remained difficult during the first quarter, characterized by an inverted yield curve and limited opportunities for profitable asset growth, we continued to increase loans and deposits and reduce securities and borrowings, resulting in an improvement in the quality of both the balance sheet and earnings." Board Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.26 Per Share The Board of Directors of the Company, at their April 18, 2007 meeting, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per common share. The dividend is payable on June 1, 2007 to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2007. This is the forty-eighth consecutive quarterly cash dividend declared by the Company. Eleventh Stock Repurchase Program Continues; Twelfth Stock Repurchase Program Authorized During the 2007 first quarter, Astoria repurchased 1.0 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $28.35 per share. Under the current stock repurchase program, 867,300 shares of the 10 million shares authorized remain available for repurchase. Astoria also announced that the Board of Directors of the Company, at their April 18, 2007 meeting, approved its twelfth stock repurchase program which authorizes the purchase of ten million shares, or approximately 10% of its outstanding common stock, in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. Mr. Engelke commented, "The authorization of this new stock repurchase program provides us with continued flexibility in capital management and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to enhancing shareholder value." The newly approved stock repurchase program will commence immediately upon completion of the current program. First Quarter 2007 Earnings Summary Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 totaled $87.5 million compared to $86.9 million for the 2006 fourth quarter and $111.5 million for the 2006 first quarter. Astoria's net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased two basis points on a linked quarter basis and declined thirty-nine basis points from the comparable period a year ago to 1.71%. The linked quarter increase was due primarily to the impact of two less days of interest expense in the 2007 first quarter, or approximately eight basis points, partially offset by the 2006 fourth quarter margin benefit of four basis points attributable to a $2.0 million prepayment penalty from a single CRE loan. The year over year decline in the net interest margin was primarily due to the cost of liabilities rising more rapidly than the yield on earning assets. Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 totaled $22.6 million compared to $18.9 million for the 2006 first quarter. The increase is due primarily to a $5.5 million, pre-tax, charge incurred in the 2006 first quarter for the termination of interest rate swap agreements, partially offset by lower customer service fees and mortgage banking income, net, in the 2007 first quarter. The components of mortgage banking income, net, which is included in non- interest income, are detailed below: (Dollars in millions) 1Q07 1Q06 Loan servicing fees $1.0 $1.2 Amortization of MSR* (0.9) (1.0) MSR* valuation adjustments 0.1 0.7 Net gain on sale of loans 0.4 0.6 Mortgage banking income, net $0.6 $1.5 * Mortgage servicing rights General and administrative expense ("G&A") for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 totaled $57.1 million compared to $57.0 million for the 2006 fourth quarter and $56.3 million for the 2006 first quarter. The year over year increase is due primarily to a 2.7% increase in compensation and benefits expense. Balance Sheet Summary For the 2007 first quarter, total loans increased $124.0 million to $15.1 billion at March 31, 2007. Total loan production for the 2007 first quarter was $896.0 million compared to $750.4 million for the comparable 2006 period. The loan pipeline at March 31, 2007 totaled $1.4 billion, an increase of $332 million from December 31, 2006. For the 2007 first quarter, the one-to-four family mortgage loan portfolio increased $156.2 million, or 6% annualized, and totaled $10.4 billion at March 31, 2007. One-to-four family loan originations and purchases totaled $760.0 million for the 2007 first quarter compared to $522.0 million in the year-ago first quarter. Of the 2007 first quarter production, 73% consisted of 3/1 and 5/1 hybrid adjustable rate mortgage loans. For the 2007 first quarter, the multi-family and CRE loan portfolio increased slightly and totaled $4.1 billion at March 31, 2007. Multi- family/CRE loan originations totaled $134.0 million for the 2007 first quarter compared to $217.4 million for the comparable 2006 period. The average loan- to-value ("LTV") ratio of the combined multi-family and CRE loan portfolio continues to be less than 65%, based on current principal balance and original appraised value, and the average loan balance is less than $1 million. At March 31, 2007, non-performing loans totaled $67.9 million, or 0.32% of total assets, compared to $59.4 million, or 0.28% of total assets, at December 31, 2006. Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 totaled $155,000 compared to net loan recoveries of $12,000 for the 2006 fourth quarter. The increase in non-performing loans was due primarily to a $7.2 million increase in one-to-four family non-performing loans. As of March 31, 2007, one-to-four family non-performing loans totaled $48.4 million and multi- family/CRE non-performing loans totaled $17.7 million. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at March 31, 2007 was 118%. Deposits increased $198.0 million for the 2007 first quarter, or 6% on an annualized basis, and total $13.4 billion at March 31, 2007. Due to the continued yield curve inversion and lower spread availability, we continued to reduce non-core business activities during the 2007 first quarter. Total securities declined $252.0 million, or 19% annualized, to $5.1 billion, representing 24% of total assets at March 31, 2007. Borrowings declined in the 2007 first quarter by $439.8 million, or 26% annualized, to $6.4 billion, representing 30% of total assets at March 31, 2007. Total assets declined $160.7 million from December 31, 2006 to $21.4 billion at March 31, 2007. Key balance sheet highlights, reflecting the improvement in the quality of the Company's balance sheet since December 31, 1999, follow: % Change (Dollars in 12/31/99- millions) 12/31/99 12/31/01 12/31/03 12/31/05 12/31/06 3/31/07 3/31/07 Assets $22,700 $22,672 $22,462 $22,380 $21,555 $21,394 . 6% Loans $10,286 $12,167 $12,687 $14,392 $14,972 $15,096 + 47% Securities $10,763 $8,013 $8,448 $6,572 $5,340 $5,088 . 53% Deposits $9,555 $10,904 $11,187 $12,810 $13,224 $13,422 + 40% Borrowings $11,528 $9,826 $9,632 $7,938 $6,836 $6,396 . 45% The following table illustrates this improvement on an outstanding per share basis: Amount per % share 12/31/99 12/31/01 12/31/03 12/31/05 12/31/06 3/31/07 Change CAGR Loans $66.28 $89.36 $107.51 $137.11 $152.44 $154.86 134% 12% Deposits $61.57 $ 80.09 $ 94.80 $122.04 $134.65 $137.69 124% 12% Stockholders' equity was $1.2 billion, or 5.69% of total assets, at March 31, 2007. Astoria Federal continues to maintain capital ratios in excess of regulatory requirements with core, tangible and risk-based capital ratios of 6.88%, 6.88% and 12.66%, respectively, at March 31, 2007. Future Outlook Commenting on the outlook for 2007, Mr. Engelke stated, "The interest rate environment continues to remain very challenging, characterized by a prolonged inversion of the yield curve. We continue to expect a gradual flattening of the yield curve to occur during the latter half of 2007 and into 2008 and a relatively stable net interest margin for 2007, similar to the adjusted 2007 first quarter margin, or approximately 1.63%. We will, therefore, maintain our strategy of reducing the securities portfolio while we emphasize deposit and loan growth, all of which will continue to improve the quality of both the balance sheet and earnings. We will also focus on the repurchase of our stock as a very desirable use of capital, maintaining the Company's tangible capital levels at or near 4.75%. This strategy should better position us to take advantage of more profitable asset growth opportunities when the yield curve steepens."
