MONTEBELLO, N.Y. – January 27, 2015 – Sterling Bancorp (NYSE: STL), the parent company of Sterling National Bank, today announced results for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Net income for the quarter was $17.0 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, compared to net income of $16.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the linked quarter ended September 30, 2014 and a net loss of $(14.0) million, or $(0.20) per diluted share, for the fourth calendar quarter of 2013. The net loss in the fourth calendar quarter of 2013 included merger-related expense and other charges incurred in connection with the merger with legacy Sterling Bancorp.
President’s Comments
Jack Kopnisky, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We continue to make progress towards our goal of building a high performance regional bank that delivers strong growth and profitability. Since December 31, 2013, our total loans have grown by $688.5 million to $4.8 billion, and total commercial loans have grown by $693.7 million to $4.1 billion. This represents

2. Total revenue is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income excluding securities gains and losses.
1
growth of 16.7% and 20.5%, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, our total assets reached $7.4 billion compared to $6.7 billion a year ago.
“Core net income for the quarter was $19.6 million and core diluted earnings per share were $0.23. Our core return on average tangible assets was 1.13% and core return on average tangible equity was 14.42%. This compares to 0.69% and 8.99%, respectively, for the same quarter a year ago.
“Consistent with our strategy of expanding in the Greater New York metropolitan region, we announced our pending merger with Hudson Valley Holding Corp. on November 5, 2014. We anticipate closing the transaction in the second quarter of 2015. On a pro forma basis, the combined company will have approximately $10.5 billion in assets, $6.6 billion in loans and $8.1 billion in deposits. We anticipate the acquisition will allow us to realize significant cost savings and revenue enhancement opportunities.
“On a linked quarter basis, our core total revenue grew 3.2% while core non-interest expense increased by 1.9%. We continue to realize the anticipated revenue and expense benefits of the merger with legacy Sterling Bancorp and the consolidation of our financial centers and other locations. For the quarter, our core operating efficiency ratio was 54.0%, which compares to 54.7% in the linked quarter and 65.4% in the same quarter last year.
“We continue to experience strong loan growth across multiple asset classes. As of December 31, 2014, total loans were $4.8 billion, which represented annualized growth of 4.6% over the prior quarter end and growth of $712 million, or 17.3%, since the completion of the merger with legacy Sterling Bancorp. Total loan balances were impacted by the sale of approximately $43.0 million of residential mortgage loans in December 2014, which had been previously held for investment. During the quarter, our commercial loan balances grew $94.4 million, which represented annualized growth of 9.6% over the prior quarter end.
“As of December 31, 2014, our total deposits were $5.2 billion. Our retail, commercial and municipal transaction, money market and savings accounts were $4.7 billion, which represented 89.3% of our total deposit balances. Our total cost of deposits was 0.21% for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
“We continue to focus on diversifying and improving our revenue mix. Non-interest income excluding securities gains was $14.0 million for the quarter, which represented 18.9% of total revenue. We have a significant opportunity to grow our specialty lending and other fee-based businesses and anticipate completing the acquisition of a specialized payroll services provider by February 2015. We maintain our target of growing fee income and increasing the proportion of fee income to total revenue to greater than 20% over time.
“Net charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2014 were $1.2 million, compared to $1.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.88%. As a result of purchase accounting, a substantial portion of the loans acquired in prior merger transactions are not subject to the allowance for loan losses as the performance of these loans remains satisfactory. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans continues to strengthen and increased from 79.7% at September 30, 2014 to 90.8% at December 31, 2014.
“Our capital position remains strong. At December 31, 2014, our tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 7.76% and our Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.21%. At Sterling National Bank, our Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.38%. We have ample capital and liquidity to support our organic growth and execute our strategy.
“We are changing our fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31 which will be effective for the fourth calendar quarter of 2014. This change will assist our shareholders in reviewing our financial results and evaluating our performance. Lastly, I am pleased to announce our Board of Directors has declared a dividend on our common stock of $0.07 per share payable on February 16, 2015 to our holders as of the record date of February 6, 2015.”
Reconciliation of Core to GAAP Results

Change in Fiscal Year End
The Company is changing its fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31 which will be effective for the fourth calendar quarter of 2014. The Company will file a transition report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the three month period ended December 31, 2014. The Company expects to file the transition report on or about March 2, 2015.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Fourth calendar quarter 2014 compared with fourth calendar quarter 2013
Net interest income was $60.2 million, up $14.4 million compared to the fourth calendar quarter of 2013. This was mainly the result of higher average loans and investment securities balances due to the merger with legacy Sterling Bancorp and organic growth. The tax-equivalent yield on investment securities increased 16 basis points and the yield on loans decreased 14 basis points. Yield on loans included $1.2 million in accretion of the fair value discount associated with the loans acquired from Gotham Bank of New York and legacy Sterling Bancorp. The cost of total deposits was 21 basis points and the cost of borrowings was 2.21%. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 3.70% compared to 3.58% for the same period a year ago.
Fourth calendar quarter 2014 compared with linked quarter ended September 30, 2014
Net interest income increased $604 thousand compared to the linked quarter ended September 30, 2014. The increase in net interest income was mainly due to a $175.8 million increase in the average balance of loans outstanding compared to the linked quarter. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in the yield on loans, which was 4.74% for the quarter compared to 4.83% for the linked quarter. The decline was due mainly to a decrease in the accretion of the fair value discount associated with loans acquired from Gotham Bank of New York and legacy Sterling Bancorp of $448 thousand. The tax-equivalent yield on interest earning assets was 4.17% compared to 4.24% in the linked quarter. Tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.70% compared to 3.77% in the linked quarter.
Non-interest Income
Fourth calendar quarter 2014 compared with fourth calendar quarter 2013
Excluding net (loss) gains on sale of securities, non-interest income increased $4.2 million to $14.0 million in the fourth calendar quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly due to an increase in fees associated with service charges on deposits, fees generated in the factoring and payroll finance businesses and gain on sale income in mortgage banking. The Company realized a net loss on sale of securities of $43 thousand in the fourth calendar quarter of 2014 compared to a net loss on sale of securities of $645 thousand in the same quarter last year.
Fourth calendar quarter 2014 compared with linked quarter ended September 30, 2014
Excluding net (loss) gains on sale of securities, non-interest income increased $1.7 million to $14.0 million during the fourth calendar quarter of 2014. The increase was mainly due to an increase in mortgage banking income of $698 thousand, an increase of $320 thousand in factoring and payroll finance fees, a $353 thousand increase in title insurance income and a $233 thousand increase in bank owned life insurance income. The Company realized a net gain on sale of securities of $33 thousand in the linked quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Non-interest Expense
Fourth calendar quarter 2014 compared with fourth calendar quarter 2013
Non-interest expense declined $27.2 million relative to the fourth calendar quarter of 2013 to $45.8 million, principally the result of an $8.6 million decrease in direct merger-related expense and an $18.5 million decrease in other non-interest expense, which were mainly incurred in connection with the legacy Sterling Bancorp merger.
Fourth calendar quarter 2014 compared with linked quarter ended September 30, 2014
Non-interest expense increased $2.0 million compared to the linked quarter, mainly due to a $2.0 million increase in other non-interest expense, which included a charge of $1.4 million associated with the banking systems conversion, a charge of $465 thousand associated with the change in our fiscal year end and a $610 thousand charge related to the closing of certain facilities and financial centers. In the fourth calendar quarter of 2014 we also incurred costs of $502 thousand related to our pending merger with Hudson Valley Holding Corp. During the quarter, the amortization of intangible assets declined $638 thousand to $1.9 million as several non-compete agreements associated with the legacy Sterling Bancorp merger expired in October 2014.
Income Taxes
In the fourth calendar quarter of 2014, the Company recorded income taxes at a rate of 33.0%, compared to an effective tax rate of 28.3% in the linked quarter and 33.2% for the same quarter last year.

Capital
The Company’s stockholders’ equity was $975.2 million at December 31, 2014, an increase of $14.1 million relative to September 30, 2014.

These increases were partially offset by dividends declared of $5.8 million.
Tangible book value per share increased to $6.47 at December 31, 2014 from $6.30 at September 30, 2014. Total goodwill and other intangible assets were $432.3 million at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to September 30, 2014.
