MONTEBELLO, N.Y. – July 25, 2017 – Sterling Bancorp (NYSE: STL) (the “Company”), the parent company of Sterling National Bank (the “Bank”), today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was $42.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to net income of $39.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the linked quarter ended March 31, 2017 and net income of $37.8 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $81.5 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, compared to net income of $61.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
President’s Comments
Jack Kopnisky, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our positive momentum in operating performance continued in the second quarter of 2017, as we reached new records in loans, deposits, revenues and profitability. As of June 30, 2017, our total assets reached $15.4 billion, compared to $13.1 billion a year ago. Our total portfolio loans gross were $10.2 billion, compared to $8.6 billion a year ago, and our total deposits were $10.5 billion, compared to $9.8 billion a year ago. We continue to make progress in building a high performing regional bank that focuses on serving commercial middle market clients and consumers in the most attractive markets in the Greater New York metropolitan area.
“We had strong earnings performance in the quarter. Our GAAP net income was $42.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. Our adjusted net income was $44.4 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.33, compared to $35.4 million and $0.27, respectively, for the second quarter of 2016. This represents growth in adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share of 25.4% and 22.2%, respectively. We continue to focus on controlling our operating expenses and improving our operating efficiency. During the quarter, our reported operating efficiency was 47.0% and our adjusted operating efficiency ratio was 42.0%. This represents a decrease of 240 and 520 basis points, respectively, relative to the same quarter a year ago. We also continue to improve our operating leverage. For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, adjusted total revenue grew 9.9% while adjusted non-interest expense declined 2.3% relative to the same quarter a year ago. We have also continued our strategy of reducing our real estate footprint and consolidated two financial center locations during the quarter.
“We have a strong balance sheet with a loan portfolio that has a balanced mix of 45.1% commercial and industrial loans, 43.3% commercial real estate loans, 2.2% acquisition development and construction loans and 9.4% consumer loans. Our diversified loan portfolio and businesses position us well for a rising interest rate environment. During the quarter, the weighted average yield on loans was 4.58%, an increase of one basis point over the linked quarter; excluding the impact of accretion income on acquired loans, yield on loans increased five basis points to 4.47%. We continue to maintain a strong funding profile with a loans to deposits ratio of approximately 97.4% and a weighted average cost of deposits of 0.43%. Our net interest margin was 3.47% on a tax equivalent basis, which represented a decrease of eight basis points over the linked quarter, which was mainly due to lower accretion income, lower prepayment penalties and a shift in the composition of our earning assets in the quarter. Based on our business mix and opportunities for growth in loans and deposits, we anticipate that net interest margin excluding accretion income on acquired loans should increase in the second half of the year, in-line with the guidance we have provided previously of 3.45% to 3.50% for the full year 2017.
“On June 13, 2017, we announced that shareholders of the Company and Astoria voted overwhelmingly in support of our merger with Astoria. Astoria operates in highly attractive markets in New York City and Long Island, has a premier low cost deposit base and the merger will allow us to further accelerate our strategy of building a high performing regional bank. The combined company will have approximately $29 billion in assets and $19 billion in deposits in the Greater New York metropolitan area. We anticipate the merger will close in early fourth quarter 2017, subject to, among other items, regulatory approvals, and will be immediately accretive to tangible book value and earnings per share.
“Lastly, we have declared a dividend on our common stock of $0.07 per share payable on August 21, 2017 to holders of record as of August 7, 2017. Thank you to all of our clients, colleagues and stockholders for your continued support, and we look forward to welcoming our new partners at Astoria so we can work together to build a stronger, more diversified and more profitable company.”
Reconciliation of GAAP Results to Adjusted Results (non-GAAP)
GAAP net income of $42.4 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017, included a pre-tax net loss on sale of securities of $230 thousand, a pre-tax charge of $1.8 million due to merger-related expense associated with the pending merger with Astoria, a pre-tax charge of $603 thousand associated with the consolidation of financial centers, and the pre-tax amortization of non-compete agreements and acquired customer list intangibles of $354 thousand. Excluding the impact of these items and their corresponding tax adjustment at the Company’s estimated effective tax rate of 32.5% for full year 2017, adjusted net income was $44.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share.
Non-GAAP financial measures include references to the terms “adjusted” or “excluding”. See the reconciliation of the Company’s non-GAAP financial measures beginning on page 16.

Second quarter 2017 compared with second quarter 2016
Net interest income was $113.3 million, an increase of $12.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2016. This was mainly due to an increase in average loans originated through our commercial banking teams and the franchise finance loan portfolio acquired from GE Capital, which closed in September 2016. Other key components of the changes in net interest income were the following:
| |
▪ | The yield on loans was 4.58%, compared to 4.68% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decline in yield on loans was mainly due to lower accretion income on acquired loans of $2.9 million compared to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. In addition, prepayment penalties in the second quarter of 2017 were $747 thousand lower than the year earlier period. |
| |
▪ | Average commercial loans were $8.8 billion compared to $7.3 billion in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.5 billion or 21.0%. |
| |
▪ | The tax equivalent yield on investment securities increased 17 basis points to 2.93%. This was mainly due to an increase in the proportion of tax exempt securities in the investment portfolio and an increase in market interest rates. Average tax exempt securities balances grew to $1.3 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to $837.1 million in the second quarter of 2016. |
| |
▪ | Average investment securities to average total earnings assets were 25.3% in the quarter compared to 24.8% in the same quarter a year ago. |
| |
▪ | The tax equivalent yield on interest earning assets was unchanged between the periods at 4.09%. |
| |
▪ | The cost of total deposits was 43 basis points and the cost of borrowings was 1.75%, compared to 35 basis points and 1.73%, respectively, for the same period a year ago. |
| |
▪ | Tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.47% compared to 3.60% for the same period a year ago. |
| |
▪ | Excluding the impact of accretion income on acquired loans, tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.39% compared to 3.46% for the same period a year ago. |
Second quarter 2017 compared with linked quarter ended March 31, 2017
Net interest income increased $4.5 million, or 16.5% annualized, compared to the linked quarter ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net interest income in the second quarter of 2017 relative to the linked quarter was mainly due to the increase in the average balance of loans outstanding in the second quarter of 2017. Key components of the changes in net interest income in the linked quarter were the following:
| |
▪ | The yield on loans was 4.58% compared to 4.57% for the linked quarter, an increase of one basis point, which was mainly due to an increase in market interest rates. |
| |
▪ | Accretion income on acquired loans was $2.9 million in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $3.5 million in the linked quarter. |
| |
▪ | The average balance of loans increased $504.9 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to the linked quarter. Based on end of period balances, total loans increased $468.4 million, or 19.2% annualized relative to the linked quarter. Similar to the first quarter of 2017, the majority of loan growth in the second quarter was originated in the month of June; as a result, average loans should increase in the third quarter of 2017. |
| |
▪ | The tax equivalent yield on investment securities decreased four basis points to 2.93% in the second quarter of 2017. This was mainly the result of investment securities acquired in the quarter as we reposition our securities portfolio in anticipation of the merger with Astoria. Average investment securities increased $160.9 million compared to the linked quarter. |
| |
▪ | The company intends to maintain a higher proportion of investment securities to total earning assets of approximately 25.0% in anticipation of the Astoria merger. |
| |
▪ | The tax equivalent yield on interest earning assets was unchanged at 4.09% in the quarter. |
| |
▪ | The cost of total deposits increased five basis points to 43 basis points in the quarter. The total cost of borrowings increased one basis point to 1.75%. |
| |
▪ | Average interest bearing deposits increased by $90.7 million and average borrowings increased $514.8 million relative to the linked quarter, which resulted in an increase of $3.8 million in interest expense. |
| |
▪ | Tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.47% compared to 3.55% in the linked quarter. The decrease was mainly due to lower accretion income on acquired loans of $594 thousand and lower prepayment penalties of $870 thousand relative to the linked quarter. |
| |
▪ | Excluding the impact of accretion income on acquired loans, tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.39% compared to 3.44% for the linked quarter. |

Second quarter 2017 compared with second quarter 2016
Excluding net gain (loss) on sale of securities, adjusted non-interest income declined $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 to $13.8 million compared to $16.0 million in the same quarter last year. The change was mainly due to a decrease in mortgage banking fee income of $2.2 million resulting from the sale of our residential mortgage originations business, which occurred in the third quarter of 2016; a decrease of $0.8 million in deposit fees and service charges, associated mainly with the impact of the Durbin Amendment, which decreased our interchange revenue from July 1, 2016 onward; and a decline in investment management fees of $611 thousand, mainly due to the sale of our trust division in the fourth quarter of 2016. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in other non-interest income of $1.2 million, which was due to an increase in letters of credit fees, higher other commissions and loan fees, syndication fees and loan swap fees in each case generated by our commercial banking teams.
Second quarter 2017 compared with linked quarter ended March 31, 2017
Excluding net gain (loss) on sale of securities, adjusted non-interest income increased approximately $1.0 million from $12.9 million in the linked quarter ended March 31, 2017 to $13.8 million in the second quarter of 2017. This was mainly due to higher accounts receivable and factoring commissions of $368 thousand, higher other non-interest income of $474 thousand due mainly to an increase in loan swap fees, and higher investment management fees of $92 thousand due to increased sales of
annuities through our financial centers. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in deposit fees and service charges of $86 thousand and a decrease in mortgage banking income of $141 thousand.

Second quarter 2017 compared with second quarter 2016
Total non-interest expense increased $17 thousand relative to the second quarter of 2016. Total non-interest expense included $1.8 million of merger-related expense incurred in connection with the pending Astoria merger and a $603 thousand charge incurred on the consolidation of two financial centers. Compensation and benefits increased $58 thousand between the periods. Total FTE declined by 68 between the periods mainly due to the sale of the residential mortgage originations business, the sale of the trust division and the consolidation of several financial centers over the last 12 months. Total non-interest expense was positively impacted by a $429 thousand decline in OREO and a $2.0 million decline in other expenses, which was mainly due to lower amortization of intangible assets of $1.1 million. Regulatory fees and assessments also decreased by $266 thousand, as FDIC deposit insurance fees assessed to the bank were reduced.
Second quarter 2017 compared with linked quarter ended March 31, 2017
Total non-interest expense decreased $693 thousand from $60.4 million in the linked quarter to $59.7 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was mainly related to a $1.4 million decline in merger-related expense, and a $1.6 million decline in OREO. In the first quarter of 2017 we incurred OREO expense to write-down properties to their fair value based on updated appraisals and pending and completed sales. Partially offsetting the decline in merger-related expense and OREO expense was a $603 thousand charge to consolidate two financial centers. Occupancy and office operations increased $699 thousand mainly due to an increase in equipment and software maintenance expense. FTE increased by19 relative to the linked quarter due to the addition of two new commercial banking teams, the addition of personnel to existing teams and an increase in risk management personnel.
Taxes
We recorded income tax expense at an effective tax rate of 32.4% for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 32.8% in the second quarter of 2016. The effective tax rate in the linked quarter ended March 31, 2017 was 31.2%.
The adoption of a new accounting standard in the first quarter of 2017 requires that tax benefits in excess of compensation costs associated with our stock-based compensation plans be included in income tax expense as a discrete item. In the first quarter of 2017, we recorded a tax benefit of $742 thousand associated with the vesting of stock-based compensation which reduced our tax rate by 1.3% for the period. In the second quarter of 2017, the tax benefit was $64 thousand and reduced our effective tax rate by 10 basis points from our expected 32.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. We anticipate our effective income tax rate, excluding the impact of income tax expense associated with vested stock-based compensation plans in 2017 will remain between 32% and 33%. However, the effective income tax rate may change materially should changes to current tax law be enacted in 2017. Any changes to current tax law may also have an impact on our deferred tax position.

The increase in stockholders’ equity of $42.8 million to $1.9 billion as of June 30, 2017 compared to March 31, 2017 was mainly due to net income of $42.4 million. Also contributing to the increase was a decline in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $7.4 million due to an increase in the fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio. Stock-based compensation activity increased stockholders’ equity by $2.5 million. These increases were partially offset by declared dividends of $9.5 million.
Total goodwill and other intangible assets were $758.5 million at June 30, 2017, a decrease of $2.2 million compared to March 31, 2017, which was due to amortization of intangibles.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2017, basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding increased to 135.3 million and 135.9 million, respectively, compared to 135.2 million and 135.8 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The increase in the diluted weighted average shares was mainly due to option exercises and grants to newly hired personal. Total common shares outstanding at June 30, 2017 were approximately 135.7 million.
Tangible book value per share7 was $8.65 at June 30, 2017, which represented an increase of 16.9% over a year ago.

The non-GAAP / adjusted measures presented above are used by our management and Board of Directors on a regular basis in addition to our GAAP results to facilitate the assessment of our financial performance and to assess our performance compared to our annual budget and strategic plans. These non-GAAP/adjusted financial measures complement our GAAP reporting and are presented above to provide investors, analysts, regulators and others information that we use to manage and evaluate our performance each period. This information supplements our GAAP reported results, and should not be viewed in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our GAAP results. When non-GAAP / adjusted measures are impacted by income tax expense, we present the pre-tax amount for the income and expense items that result in the non-GAAP adjustments and present the income tax expense impact at the effective tax rate in effect for the period presented.
1 Stockholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets, book value per share, tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets and tangible book value per share provides information to help assess our capital position and financial strength. We believe tangible book measures improve comparability to other banking organizations that have not engaged in acquisitions that have resulted in the accumulation of goodwill and other intangible assets.
2 Reported return on average tangible equity and adjusted return on average tangible equity measures provide information to evaluate the use of our tangible equity.
3 Reported return on tangible assets and adjusted return on tangible assets measures provide information to help assess our profitability.
4 The reported operating efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing our GAAP non-interest expense by the sum of our GAAP net interest income plus GAAP non-interest income. The adjusted operating efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure calculated by dividing non-interest expense adjusted for intangible asset amortization and certain expenses generally associated with discrete merger transactions and non-recurring strategic plans by the sum of net interest income plus non-interest income plus the tax equivalent adjustment on securities income and elimination of the impact of gain or loss on sale of securities. The adjusted operating efficiency ratio is a measure we use to assess our operating performance.
5 Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share present a summary of our earnings which includes adjustments to exclude certain revenues and expenses (generally associated with discrete merger transactions and non-recurring strategic plans) to help in assessing our profitability. Historically we have imputed income tax expense on adjusted earnings at our GAAP earnings effective tax rate. Due to the adoption of a new accounting standard in the second quarter of 2017 that requires vesting of share-based compensation awards be treated as a discrete item in income tax expense, our effective tax rate for GAAP earnings decreased from our estimate for full year 2017 of 32.5% to 32.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Therefore, for purposes of calculating adjusted net income, we recognized income tax expense at our 2017 anticipated effective tax rate of 32.5%.
