Astoria Financial Corporation Announces First Quarter EPS of $0.71 Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.25 Per Common Share Declared LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Astoria Financial Corporation ("Astoria"), the holding company for Astoria Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Astoria Federal"), today reported net income of $53.4 million, or $0.71 diluted earnings per common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared to net income of $56.4 million, or $0.69 diluted earnings per common share, for the 2003 first quarter. For the 2004 first quarter, returns on average equity, average tangible equity and average assets were 15.05%, 17.31% and 0.95%, respectively, compared to 14.58%, 16.56% and 1.01%, respectively, for the comparable 2003 period. First Quarter 2004 Highlights: * Diluted EPS: $0.71, increased $0.08, or 13%, from linked quarter * Net interest margin: 2.14%, increased 40 basis points, or 23%, from linked quarter * Return on average assets: 0.95 %, up 13% from linked quarter * Return on average equity: 15.05 %, up 11% from linked quarter * Return on average tangible equity: 17.31%, up 11% from linked quarter * Total deposits increased $322.1 million, or 12% annualized * Multifamily/Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") loan portfolios increased $99.1 million, or 13% annualized, and represent 25% of total loans * Non-performing assets to total assets declined to 0.12% * Repurchased 1.0 million common shares Commenting on the first quarter results, George L. Engelke, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Astoria, noted, "The expansion of the net interest margin year over year, and, in particular, the forty basis point improvement from the previous quarter, reflects reduced premium amortization expense and significantly lower borrowing costs during the quarter." Board Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.25 Per Share The Board of Directors of the Company, at their April 21, 2004 meeting, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per common share. The dividend is payable on June 1, 2004 to shareholders of record as of May 17, 2004. This is the thirty-sixth consecutive quarterly cash dividend declared by the Company. Ninth Stock Repurchase Program Continues During the first quarter, Astoria repurchased 1.0 million shares of its common stock at an average cost of $39.03 per share. To date, under the ninth program that commenced November 2002, Astoria has repurchased 8.5 million shares of the 10 million shares authorized. First Quarter 2004 Earnings Summary - Net Interest Margin Improvement Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 totaled $114.5 million, an increase of 21% from $94.6 million in the 2003 fourth quarter and 5% from $109.0 million a year ago. Astoria's net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased forty basis points, on a linked quarter basis, to 2.14%, and five basis points from a year ago. The increases in the net interest margin were due to a decline in the cost of liabilities as higher cost borrowings were repriced at lower rates and a decline in premium amortization due to reduced refinance activity. With mortgage refinancing activity dramatically subsiding and lower MBS repayments in the 2004 first quarter, the net premium amortization on mortgage loans and MBS declined 67% to $8.3 million for the 2004 first quarter from $25.0 million for the year ago first quarter. Importantly, MBS net premium amortization declined 79% from the year ago first quarter to just $2.9 million in the 2004 first quarter. Linked quarter declines were also significant; for details on net premium amortization expense, please see the following chart: MBS and Mortgage Loan Net Premium Amortization Trends Year Over Year Linked Quarter (Dollars in millions) 1Q03 4Q03 1Q04 $Change %Change $Change %Change MBS $13.7 $12.7 $2.9 $ (10.8) (79%) $(9.8) (77%) Mortgage Loans $11.3 $6.7 $5.4 $(5.9) (52%) $(1.3) (19%) Total $25.0 $19.4 $8.3 $(16.7) (67%) $(11.1) (57%) The decline in the cost of liabilities was due primarily to the 2004 first quarter maturity of $2.8 billion of medium-term borrowings, with a weighted average rate of 4.97%, of which $2.4 billion were extended for a weighted average term of 3.3 years with a weighted average rate of 2.71%, $245 million were repaid and the remainder were refinanced with short-term borrowings. Over the past fifteen months $4.5 billion of medium-term borrowings, with a weighted average rate of 5.37%, matured and $4.1 billion of those borrowings were extended for a weighted average term of 3.2 years with a weighted average rate of 2.64%, providing protection against future interest rate increases. Also impacting the margin, multifamily and CRE prepayment penalty income declined 46% on a linked quarter basis to $2.5 million due to reduced refinance activity. The table below highlights the trend in multifamily/CRE prepayment penalty income over the past nine quarters: Multifamily and CRE Loan Prepayment Penalty Income (Dollars in millions) 1Q02 2Q02 3Q02 4Q02 1Q03 2Q03 3Q03 4Q03 1Q04 $0.9 $0.9 $1.4 $1.7 $2.1 $3.5 $5.8 $4.6 $2.5 Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 totaled $22.1 million compared to $25.9 million for the comparable 2003 quarter. The decrease is primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in mortgage banking income, net, as described below, and a $1.1 million decrease in customer service fees, from $14.8 million for the 2003 first quarter to $13.7 million for the 2004 first quarter, primarily due to a decrease in debit card interchange fees caused by a reduction in the fee structure on signature-based debit card transactions. The components of mortgage banking income, net, which is included in non-interest income, are detailed below: (Dollars in millions) 1Q04 1Q03 Loan servicing fees $1.5 $2.3 Amortization of MSR* (2.0) (3.8) MSR* valuation adjustments (1.3) (0.9) Net gain on sale of loans 0.7 2.8 Mortgage banking income, net $(1.1) $0.4 *Mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") Net gain on sales of securities totaled $2.4 million for the 2004 first quarter compared to $2.1 million for the year ago first quarter. The gains were recognized during the quarter to offset anticipated mortgage servicing valuation adjustments calculated at quarter end totaling $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. General and administrative expense ("G&A") for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 totaled $57.0 million compared to $52.0 million for the comparable 2003 period. The increase is primarily due to increased compensation and benefit expense and occupancy, equipment and systems expense, due to, among other things, facilities and systems enhancements over the past year. Balance Sheet Summary Key balance sheet highlights, including the cumulative effect of the Company's balance sheet repositioning since December 31, 1999, follow: (Dollars in millions) 12/31/99 12/31/00 12/31/01 12/31/02 Assets $22,700 $22,341 $22,672 $21,702 Loans $10,286 $11,422 $12,167 $12,059 MBS $9,287 $7,875 $7,074 $7,380 Deposits $9,555 $10,072 $10,904 $11,067 Core Deposits (1) $4,625 $4,922 $5,743 $5,914 Checking $878 $1,005 $1,200 $1,383 Borrowings $11,528 $10,324 $9,826 $8,825 Change (Dollars in millions) 12/31/03 3/31/04 12/31/99 - 3/31/04 Assets $22,462 $22,651 -- Loans $12,687 $12,737 + 24% MBS $8,244 $8,169 - 12% Deposits $11,187 $11,509 + 20% Core Deposits (1) $5,685 $5,628 + 22% Checking $1,493 $1,505 + 71% Borrowings $9,632 $9,395 - 19% (1) Excludes time deposits Mortgage loan originations and purchases for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 totaled $867.3 million compared to $1.5 billion for the 2003 first quarter. Included in the first quarter 2004 mortgage loan production were one-to-four family loans totaling $617.3 million, predominantly 3/1 and 5/1 adjustable rate loans. The decrease in loan production was due to reduced mortgage loan refinance activity in the 2004 first quarter. Mortgage loan prepayments for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 totaled $648.2 million compared to $1.3 billion for the 2003 first quarter. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, multifamily and CRE loan originations increased to $240.0 million compared to $235.3 million a year ago. The multifamily and CRE loan portfolios grew during the first quarter at an annualized rate of 13% to $3.2 billion, or 25% of total loans at March 31, 2004. The average loan-to-value ratio of the multifamily 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. Commenting on the multifamily and CRE loan volume, Mr. Engelke noted, "During the first quarter, we witnessed irrational pricing of multifamily loan products by several local competitors which resulted in lower than anticipated loan production. We will continue to remain focused on producing quality multifamily and CRE loans but will maintain our rational pricing discipline." The Company's strong multifamily and CRE lending capabilities are reflected in the growth of these portfolios since 1999: (Dollars in millions) 12/31/99 12/31/00 12/31/01 12/31/02 Multifamily/CRE Loans $1,014 $1,282 $1,693 $2,345 % of Total Loans 10% 11% 14% 20% Change (Dollars in millions) 12/31/03 3/31/04 12/31/99 - 3/31/04 Multifamily/CRE Loans $3,111 $3,210 +217% % of Total Loans 25% 25% +150% At March 31, 2004, non-performing loans declined to $24.6 million, or 0.11%, of total assets from from $39.0 million, or 0.17% of total assets a year ago, and from $29.7 million, or 0.13% of total assets, at December 31, 2003. Net charge-offs for the 2004 first quarter totaled just $155,000, or an annualized rate of less than one basis point of the average total loans outstanding. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at March 31, 2004 increased to 337%. Mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") totaled $8.2 billion at March 31, 2004, a decrease of $648.1 million from the year ago quarter end. Of the total, $2.5 billion, equal to 11% of assets, were categorized as available-for-sale. A detailed profile of the premium/discount associated with our fixed rate CMO/REMIC MBS portfolio at March 31, 2004 follows: Unamortized Premium/ Collateral Weighted (Dollars in millions) Book Value (Discount) MBS Coupon Coupon Avg Life Premium CMO/ REMIC MBS $2,274 $ 22.7 5.01% 6.06% 2.0 yrs Discount/Par CMO/ REMIC MBS $5,725 $(18.0) 4.14% 5.85% 2.8 yrs Total $7,999 $4.7 4.39% 5.91% 2.5 yrs Deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 increased $322.1 million, or 12% on an annualized basis, to $11.5 billion from $11.2 billion at December 31, 2003. The increase in deposits was primarily due to an increase of $378.8 million in CD accounts to $5.9 billion from $5.5 billion at December 31, 2003. This increase reflects the success of a marketing campaign in the first quarter focused on attracting long-term deposits to enable us to reduce borrowings. Specifically, $1.2 billion of CDs, with an average rate of 2.33% and an average original maturity of 14 months matured and $1.5 billion of CDs were issued or repriced at an average rate of 2.51% and an average maturity of 22 months. "We expect to continue our strategy of lengthening the maturity of our CD deposits in the current interest rate environment," Mr. Engelke noted. Checking account balances totaled $1.5 billion, or 27% of core deposits at March 31, 2004. Additionally, our small business banking initiatives continue to result in solid growth in our business deposits which, at March 31, 2004, totaled $253.2 million, up 27% on an annualized basis. Borrowings declined $237.2 million from the previous quarter and totaled $9.4 billion at March 31, 2004. Stockholders' equity was $1.4 billion, or 6.36% of total assets at March 31, 2004. Astoria Federal continues to maintain capital ratios in excess of regulatory requirements with core, tangible and risk-based capital ratios of 7.19%, 7.19% and 14.98%, respectively, at March 31, 2004. Future Outlook Commenting on the outlook for 2004, Mr. Engelke stated, "We are well positioned to continue to project solid growth in earnings and related returns as a result of the actions taken in 2003 and the first quarter of 2004 to significantly reduce the cost of our liabilities and lengthen the terms of both borrowings and CDs. In addition, with significantly reduced refinance activity and a projected continuation of a relatively steep Treasury yield curve, even in a slightly higher interest rate environment we anticipate solid growth in both our loan portfolio and deposits."
