Oritani Financial Corp. Announces Quarterly and Annual Results
TOWNSHIP OF WASHINGTON, N.J., July 31, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oritani Financial Corp. (the "Company" or "OFC") (Nasdaq:ORIT), the holding company for Oritani Bank (the "Bank") reported net income of $1.5 million, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to net income of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per basic share, for the corresponding 2008 period. The Company also reported net income of $5.6 million, or $0.15 per basic and fully diluted share, for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to net income of $9.0 million, or $0.23 per basic and fully diluted share, for the corresponding 2008 period.
The 2009 three month period included increased FDIC insurance expense as well as the FDIC special assessment. These charges totaled $1.7 million. Results for the 2008 three month period were boosted by a $1.1 million gain on the sale of a multifamily property that had been held and operated as a real estate investment. This gain was partially offset by a $646,000 impairment charge taken on the Bank's investment in a mutual fund investment. The provision for loan losses significantly impacted both quarterly periods, however, provision expense was $495,000 less in the 2009 period. The provision for loan losses totaled $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, versus $2.6 million for the comparable 2008 period.
The decreased results for the 2009 twelve month period were primarily due to increased provision for loan losses, increased writedowns of securities and increased compensation related expenses; partially offset by increased net interest income. The twelve month comparison was also impacted by the FDIC expenses and gain on sale mentioned above.
"The economic environment has negatively impacted virtually every financial institution, including Oritani," said Kevin J. Lynch, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO. "Over the year we have focused on minimizing the impact and sowing the seeds for more profitable times ahead. Resolution of our nonaccrual loans continues to be our focal point. We have made significant progress through our efforts in the courts and negotiations, and I believe we are on the cusp of resolution of a sizeable portion of our delinquencies." Mr. Lynch continued, "Our balance sheet growth has us well positioned for the future. Our assets are now nearly $2.0 billion. Just two years ago, we were barely over $1.0 billion. We are far ahead of our strategic targets for organic deposit and loan growth. Our deposits increased over 60% during the past 12 months. Our net interest income is at record levels for us, and will increase further if we can resolve our problem assets."
Comparison of Operating Results
Interest Income
Total interest income increased by $4.8 million, or 25.9%, to $23.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $18.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The majority of the increase was in interest on mortgage loans. The average balance of loans, net increased to $1.3 billion for the 3 months ended June 30, 2009 from $943.0 million for the corresponding 2008 period. Interest on mortgage loans increased by $4.3 million, or 29.5%, to $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $14.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Interest on federal funds sold and short term investments decreased to $56,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $303,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Returns on this investment have decreased dramatically. The Federal Open Market Committee has significantly decreased the federal funds target rate over the period. While the Company seeks to prudently deploy cash inflows as quickly as possible, the significant growt h in deposits has increased liquidity above an optimal level. Excess liquidity is typically invested in fed funds sold. Interest on securities available for sale ("AFS") increased by $824,000 to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $298,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The average balance increased over the period to $138.8 million from $27.9 million. Investments over the 2009 quarter were typically made in this caption as management felt such investments provided the best risk/reward profile considering the current and projected cash needs of the Company.
For the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, total interest income increased by $16.8 million, or 23.5%, to $88.4 million, from $71.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The majority of the increase was in interest on mortgage loans. The average balance of loans, net increased to $1.2 billion for the 12 months ended June 30, 2009 from $858.2 million for the corresponding 2008 period. Interest on mortgage loans increased by $17.1 million, or 31.1%, to $72.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $55.1 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. Interest on federal funds sold and short term investments decreased to $73,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $1.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. Interest on mortgage backed securities ("MBS") AFS increased by $2.3 million to $7.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $4.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. Interest on MBS held to maturity ("HTM") decreased by $1 .8 million to $5.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $7.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The Company's primary asset investment has always been loans. Excess cash flows were initially invested in MBS AFS. Over the course of the year, as the risk/reward profiles of the investment options changed, and the current and projected cash needs of the Company changed, the primary investment vehicle for the excess cash became securities AFS.
Interest Expense
Total interest expense increased by $2.1 million, or 22.2%, to $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Interest expense on deposits increased by $1.1 million and interest expense on borrowings increased by $1.0 million. The average balance of deposits increased 49.9% to $1.06 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $704.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The cost of deposits decreased to 2.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from 3.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The average balance of borrowings increased to $509.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $400.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The cost of borrowings decreased to 4.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from 4.13% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Total interest expense increased by $7.3 million, or 19.6%, to $44.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $37.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The vast majority of the increase was due to borrowings as interest expense on deposits increased by $397,000 while interest expense on borrowings increased by $6.9 million. The average balance of deposits increased 27.0% to $880.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 from $693.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The cost of deposits decreased to 2.75% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 from 3.44% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The average balance of borrowings increased to $505.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 from $310.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The cost of borrowings decreased to 4.00% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 from 4.30% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income increased by $2.7 million, or 29.8%, to $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. On a trailing quarter basis, net interest income increased by $846,000, or 7.8%, from $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The Company's net interest rate spreads for the three months ended June 30, 2009, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were 2.33%, 2.37% and 2.05%, respectively. Net interest income increased by $9.5 million, or 27.8%, to $43.9 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $34.4 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The Company's net interest income and net interest rate spread were both negatively impacted in the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2009 due to the reversal of accrued interest income on loans delinquent more than 90 days. The total of such income reversed was $1.1 million and $3.7 million for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2009, re spectively. The Company's net interest rate spreads for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 were 2.36% and 2.06%, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $9.9 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $4.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The Company charged off a total of $2.7 million in loans during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There were no recoveries in any of the periods. A rollforward of the allowance for loan losses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009 is presented below:
Balance at June 30, 2008 $13,532 Provisions charged to operations 9,880 Recoveries of loans previously charged off -- Loans charged off (2,732) --------- Balance at June 30, 2009 $20,680 =========
The Company's allowance for loan losses is analyzed quarterly and many factors are considered, including comparison to peer reserve levels. As in prior periods, loan growth was a component of the provision for loan losses in the 2009 periods. The delinquency and nonaccrual totals, however, were the primary contributors to the increased level of provision for loan losses.
Delinquency information is provided below:
Delinquency Totals 6/30/2009 3/31/2009 12/31/2008 9/30/2008 6/30/2008 --------- --------- ---------- --------- --------- (in thousands) 30 - 59 days past due $ 6,727 $ 4,897 $ 4,979 $ 16,624 $ 25,367 60 - 89 days past due 17,825 2,130 5,942 1,381 18 nonaccrual 52,465 52,260 44,067 25,337 14,211 -------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 77,017 $ 59,287 $ 54,988 $ 43,342 $ 39,596 ========================================================
Nonaccrual and total delinquent loan totals have been at an elevated level for the majority of the fiscal year. The Company has continued its aggressive posture toward delinquent borrowers. The Company has commenced legal action against virtually all borrowers who are more than 45 days delinquent. The Company has refused to extend the maturity date of any construction loan, even if the interest payments are current, unless the borrower agrees to reduce the Company's exposure through additional principal payments and/or additional collateral, and agrees to an additional fee if the loan is not paid in full on or before the new maturity date. The Company realizes that such actions contribute to the high level of delinquencies but believes this is the most prudent path to addressing problem loans.
The nonaccrual total of $52.5 million at June 30, 2009 includes all of the loans ($52.3 million) that were classified as nonaccrual at March 31, 2009. The loans that comprise a significant portion of this total have been discussed in prior public releases. A current summary of these loans follows:
* Two of these loans are to one borrower and totaled $18.0 million at June 30, 2009. The loans are secured by a condominium construction project and raw land with all building approvals, both of which are in Northern New Jersey. The borrower declared bankruptcy and Oritani has provided debtor in possession financing for the completion of the condominium construction project. While the construction is primarily completed, delays have been encountered in finalizing the project and obtaining certificates of occupancy. The individual unit sales process has commenced and several units are currently under contract. Closings are not expected until late September, 2009. Oritani charged off $2.0 million of the construction loan as of June 30, 2009, as this portion has been determined to be an incurred loss. Both loans are classified as impaired as of June 30, 2009. In accordance with the results of the Company's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards #114 ("FAS 114") impairment analyses, a specific reserve of $2.8 million has been recorded against these loans. * There are three loans to another borrower. One of these loans is a $7.9 million loan secured by a retail mall in Northern New Jersey. The other two loans total $10.2 million and are secured by a golf course in Bergen County, New Jersey. All three of these loans are classified as nonaccrual and impaired, in accordance with FAS#114, at June 30, 2009. Oritani is in litigation with this borrower, foreclosure proceedings are progressing and a rent receiver has been placed in control of the operations of these properties. The guarantor has declared bankruptcy. Net cash generated from the operation of these properties is being forwarded from the rent receiver to Oritani. In accordance with the results of the impairment analyses, no reserve was required for these loans as they were considered to be well collateralized. Oritani is in negotiations to sell the notes that are secured by these properties prior to foreclosure. Oritani expects to realize amounts sufficient to satisfy all principal plus delinquent interest and other amounts due on any disposal. Management is cautiously optimistic that these transactions will be completed and finalized during the quarter ended September 30, 2009, although there can be no assurances as to the timing or successful completion of such matters. * Another significant portion of the nonaccrual total at June 30, 2009, were three loans to one borrower that totaled $6.6 million. These loans were secured by various warehouse properties in Rockland, Nassau and Westchester counties, New York. All three of these loans are classified as nonaccrual and impaired, in accordance with FAS 114, at June 30, 2009. Oritani is in litigation with this borrower and foreclosure proceedings are progressing. A rent receiver has been appointed on all three of the properties. Two of the three entities that were formed by the borrower to hold the assets that secure the borrowings, as well as the related operating company, have been placed in bankruptcy. Oritani is moving for the appointment of a trustee. In accordance with the results of the impairment analyses, a specific reserves totaling $426,000 have been recorded against these loans. * Included in the nonaccrual total at June 30, 2009 was a $5.9 million mixed use property loan located in Bergen County, New Jersey. The borrower on this loan has declared bankruptcy, a rent receiver is in place, net cash flows from the operation of the property are being forwarded to Oritani, and the bankruptcy trustee has secured a contract for the cash sale of the property. Oritani expects to realize amounts sufficient to satisfy all principal plus delinquent interest and other amounts due on the sale. Management expects the transaction to close during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, no reserve was required as the loan is considered to be well collateralized. * The nonaccrual total at June 30, 2009 also includes the following: -- A $1.1 million multifamily loan located in Hudson County, New Jersey. Foreclosure proceedings have commenced. Oritani is in negotiations with the borrower regarding resolution. -- A $1.1 million construction loan of a single family residence in Bergen County, New Jersey. This loan was paid in full in July, 2009, inclusive of all delinquent interest. -- An $877,000 loan on an improved, approved parcel of land in Morris County, New Jersey. Oritani charged off $250,000 of this loan as of June 30, 2009. The loan is classified as impaired and, in accordance with the results of the impairment analysis; a specific reserve totaling $65,000 has been recorded against this loan. Oritani expects to obtain title to this property during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. -- A $349,000 multifamily loan located in Middlesex County, New Jersey. Oritani charged off $260,000 of this loan as of June 30, 2009. The loan is classified as impaired and, in accordance with the results of the impairment analysis; a specific reserve totaling $57,000 has been recorded against this loan. Oritani is in negotiations to arrange a short sale of this property which it expects to close during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. -- A $417,000 single family construction loan in Essex County, New Jersey. Oritani modified this loan during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and it is now current. It will remain on nonaccrual until a satisfactory payment history is demonstrated.
There is one additional large loan in the 60-89 day past due total at June 30, 2009. This is a $14.0 million loan secured by a commercial property in Hudson County, New Jersey. The borrower has experienced cash flow difficulties. Foreclosure proceedings have not commenced as Oritani has been in negotiations with the borrower regarding potential resolution. It is presently unknown whether these negotiations will be successful, or whether legal remedies will be necessary.
Other Income
Other income decreased by $352,000, or 21.4%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The primary reason for the decrease is due to activity that occurred in the 2008 period. The three months ended June 30, 2008 included a $1.1 million gain on the sale of a multifamily property that had been held and operated as a real estate investment. This gain was partially offset by a $646,000 impairment charge taken on the Bank's investment in a mutual fund investment. There was minimal similar activity during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The only such activity during the three months ended June 30, 2009 was an impairment charge of $8,000.
Other income decreased by $2.2 million to $2.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $4.9 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. As in the quarterly period, the primary differences again pertained to impairment charges and gain on sale of assets. Net gain on sale of assets decreased $1.1 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, due to the sale described above. Writedowns due to investment impairments increased by $1.0 million to $2.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $1.0 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The writedowns in the 2009 period primarily pertain to impairment charges recorded in relation to equity securities in the Company's AFS portfolio.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 46.1%, to $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Federal insurance premiums increased significantly over the quarter due to an increase in FDIC insurance rates, an increase in insurable deposits, the depletion of a credit against FDIC insurance charges and a FDIC special assessment. Federal insurance premiums increased to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits increased by $964,000 to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. In May, 2008, stock and options grants that had been approved in the Company's 2008 Equity Incentive Plan were awarded. The amortization of the cost of this plan began in May, 2008. Related expenses totaled $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, versus $610,00 0 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Another significant component of the increase was increased compensation costs of $199,000 as the Company has increased personnel to assist with implementing the organic growth strategy. The balance of the increase is primarily due to expenses and accruals related to retirement benefits ($69,000); increased payroll taxes ($74,000) and increased health insurance costs ($57,000).
Operating expenses increased by $7.8 million, or 39.8%, to $27.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $19.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. Compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits increased by $4.7 million to $18.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, from $13.9 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. The factors described above for the three month period also affected the twelve month period. The increase in the amortization of the costs of Equity Incentive Plan costs are greater as an entire 12 months worth of expense is included in the 2009 period. Such expenses totaled $3.8 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, versus $610,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 2008. Other significant factors contributing to the 2009 increase (versus 2008) were an increase in compensation costs of $1.0 million; accruals related to retirement benefits of $258,000; payroll tax expenses of $103,000 and employee health insurance expenses of $142,000.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense of $1.2 million was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2009 against pre-tax income of $2.7 million. Income tax expense of $992,000 was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2008 against pre-tax income of $2.4 million. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2009, income tax expense of $4.0 million was recognized against pre-tax income of $9.6 million. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2008, income tax expense of $6.2 million was recognized against pre-tax income of $15.2 million.

Total Assets. Total assets increased $470.2 million, or 32.6%, to $1.91 billion at June 30, 2009, from $1.44 billion at June 30, 2008.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents (which includes fed funds and short term investments) increased $126.5 million to $135.4 million at June 30, 2009, from $8.9 million at June 30, 2008.
