Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.13 Per Share Declared LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 22 /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 $8.8 million (operating income of $12.2 million), or $0.10 diluted earnings per share ("EPS") (operating earnings per share of $0.14 ("operating EPS")), for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, compared to $28.9 million, or $0.32 EPS, for the 2008 first quarter. Included in the 2009 first quarter results is an other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"), after-tax, non-cash charge of $3.4 million, or $0.04 EPS, to write-off the remaining cost basis of our investment in Freddie Mac preferred stock. Operating income and operating EPS, representing net income and EPS determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") excluding the effects of the OTTI charge, provide a meaningful comparison for effectively evaluating Astoria's operating results. For a reconciliation of operating income and operating EPS to GAAP net income and EPS, please refer to the table on page 12. Commenting on the first quarter results, George L. Engelke, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Astoria, stated, "The challenging operating environment continued to negatively impact our operating results. As anticipated, higher unemployment and continued weakness in the national housing market resulted in increases in loan delinquencies, foreclosures, credit costs and loan loss provision. It is important to note, however, that the first quarter year-over-year operating results reflected significant increases in both net interest income and the net interest margin." Board Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.13 Per Share The Board of Directors of the Company, at their April 22, 2009 meeting, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share. The dividend is payable on June 1, 2009 to shareholders of record as of May 15, 2009. This is the fifty-sixth consecutive quarterly cash dividend declared by the Company. First Quarter 2009 Earnings Summary Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased 38% to $111.7 million from $80.8 million for the 2008 first quarter and declined $3.3 million, or 3%, from the 2008 fourth quarter. Astoria's net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased 59 basis points to 2.16% from 1.57% for the 2008 first quarter and declined two basis points from the 2008 fourth quarter. The year-over-year increase in the margin was due to the cost of liabilities declining more rapidly than the yield on interest earning assets. The slight decline in the margin on a linked quarter basis was due to an increase in borrowing costs of 17 basis points resulting from the repayment of low-cost short-term borrowings, offset almost entirely by the increase in the average balance of deposits of $396.6 million and a 15 basis point decrease in the cost of deposits. "We expect that the net interest margin will resume expansion in the second quarter, as we increasingly realize the benefit of the repricing of maturing non-Liquid CDs that have interest rates considerably above current market rates. Non-Liquid CDs totaling $1.8 billion and $2.9 billion are scheduled to mature in the 2009 second quarter and second half, respectively, with weighted average rates of 3.49% and 3.59%, respectively. By comparison, in the 2009 first quarter, $2.3 billion of non-Liquid CDs were issued or repriced at a weighted average rate of 2.45%, while non-Liquid CDs were issued or repriced in March at a weighted rate of 1.88%, considerably lower than the average for the first quarter," Mr. Engelke noted. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, a $50.0 million provision for loan losses was recorded compared to $45.0 million for the previous quarter and $4.0 million for the 2008 first quarter. Commenting on the 2009 first quarter provision, Mr. Engelke stated, "The provision recorded in this year's first quarter recognizes the increase in loan delinquencies, non-performing loans and charge-offs directly related to the continued deterioration in the housing market and increasing weakness in the economy, particularly, the accelerating pace of job losses." Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled $21.2 million, excluding the pre-tax OTTI charge of $5.3 million, compared to $22.4 million for the 2008 first quarter. General and administrative expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased $7.8 million to $64.0 million from $56.2 million for the 2008 fourth quarter and $5.8 million from $58.2 million for the 2008 first quarter. The linked quarter and year-over-year increases were primarily due to $3.4 million and $3.3 million respective increases in FDIC premium expense and $3.1 million and $3.0 million respective increases in pension expense. Balance Sheet Summary For the 2009 first quarter, the loan portfolio declined $290.6 million from the previous quarter end to $16.4 billion at March 31, 2009. The primary reason for the decline was lower loan originations and purchases for portfolio which totaled $391.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $588.9 million for the previous quarter. In addition, loan prepayments increased to $523.0 million for the 2009 first quarter from $467.0 million for the previous quarter. For the 2009 first quarter, the one-to-four family mortgage loan portfolio declined $192.3 million from the previous quarter end to $12.2 billion at March 31, 2009. One-to-four family loan originations and purchases for portfolio totaled $382.5 million for the 2009 first quarter compared to $422.7 million for the previous quarter. One-to-four family loan prepayments for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled $457.1 million compared to $330.3 million for the 2008 fourth quarter. The 2009 first quarter origination and purchase volume was negatively affected by significant fallout from our loan pipeline due to, among other things, the fact that potential borrowers are not qualifying under our strict underwriting guidelines, particularly with respect to loan-to-value ratios. The loan-to-value ratio ("LTV") of the one-to-four family loan production for portfolio for the 2009 first quarter averaged 55% at origination and the loan amount averaged approximately $730,000. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the multi-family/commercial real estate ("CRE") loan portfolio decreased $94.7 million from the previous quarter to $3.8 billion at March 31, 2009. The decrease was due to our decision to slow the pace of multi-family/CRE loan originations in the current economic climate. First quarter 2009 multi-family/CRE loan originations totaled just $9.4 million compared to $166.2 million for the previous quarter. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, deposits increased $149.3 million, or 4.4% annualized, from the previous quarter to $13.6 billion. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, borrowings decreased $827.9 million from the previous quarter to $6.1 billion. The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of short-term borrowings. Total assets declined $577.3 million from the prior quarter to $21.4 billion at March 31, 2009.

Net loan charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 totaled $19.8 million (of which $11.2 million represented one-to-four family loans and $7.9 million represented multi-family/CRE loans) compared to $12.3 million (of which $6.8 million represented one-to-four family loans and $5.1 million represented multi-family/CRE loans) for the 2008 fourth quarter. Included in the $11.2 million of one-to-four family loan charge-offs are $5.5 million of charge-offs on $21.9 million of non-performing loans which, at 180 days delinquent, were adjusted to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral less selling costs. Commenting on asset quality, Mr. Engelke noted, "The continued deterioration in the economy, particularly rising unemployment, continues to strain the financial condition of prime residential borrowers and their ability to remain current on their mortgage loans and the ability of tenants in multi-family properties to pay rent on their apartments. Accordingly, we experienced increases in non-performing loans, foreclosures and credit costs during the first quarter. Importantly, loans delinquent 30-89 days increased only $21.7 million from the previous quarter, considerably less than the $40.2 million and $74.2 million increases recorded in the third and fourth quarters of 2008, respectively." Future Outlook Commenting on the outlook for the remainder of 2009, Mr. Engelke stated, "The year continues to present us with both opportunities and challenges. Although we are encouraged by the slowing growth in 30-89 day delinquencies in the first quarter, we expect that job losses and economic weakness will continue to put pressure on borrowers which, more than likely, will result in somewhat higher delinquencies and non-performing loans, however, credit costs should remain manageable. With respect to our fundamental operating performance, we expect deposit growth in 2009 will continue, particularly since the intense competition for core community deposits has diminished somewhat. We also expect increases in net interest income and the net interest margin going forward as we begin to realize the benefit from significant CD deposits maturing throughout the year at rates that are considerably above current market rates."
