VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS,
LOAN GROWTH AND NET INTEREST MARGIN EXPANSION
WAYNE, NJ – October 23, 2008 –Valley National Bancorp (NYSE:VLY) (“Valley”), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today announced third quarter and nine months results for 2008. Net income for the third quarter of 2008 was $3.6 million, or $0.03 fully diluted earnings per common share. Third quarter results were reduced by a $70.9 million securities loss on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac perpetual preferred stock held in the available for sale securities portfolio. On an after tax basis, this charge reduced third quarter net income by $44.1 million, or $0.33 per diluted share. A preliminary estimate of the impact of this charge was previously disclosed in Valley’s Form 8-K on September 4, 2008.
On a core operating basis, excluding the above securities loss, net income for the third quarter was $47.7 million or $0.35 per fully diluted share. Management believes the core operating results present a more relevant measure of ongoing business trends and offer a better comparison with prior periods. The selected financial data in this report include a reconciliation of results that include securities losses and impairment charges (reported results) with those that do not (core operating results).
Net income was $76.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 or $0.59 fully diluted earnings per common share. The nine month results were reduced by a $71.9 million securities loss on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac perpetual preferred stock. On an after tax basis, this charge reduced the nine month net income by approximately $44.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted share. On a core operating basis, excluding the above securities loss, net income for the nine months was $121.3 million, or $0.94 per diluted share.
Set forth below are highlights that occurred during the third quarter of 2008:
| • | On July 1, 2008, Valley completed the acquisition of Greater Community Bancorp (“Greater Community”) with approximately $1.0 billion in total assets and 16 full-service branches in northern New Jersey. The purchase price of $167.8 million was paid through a combination of Valley’s common stock and warrants. The transaction generated approximately $114.2 million in goodwill and $7.5 million in core deposit intangible assets subject to amortization. Greater Community’s systems were integrated into Valley during the third quarter with minimal disruption to customer service. |
| • | Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased for the fourth consecutive quarter, up $12.7 million from the second quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily due to increased loan volumes caused by the Greater Community acquisition and organic loan growth, as well as an expansion of Valley’s net interest margin by 16 basis points to 3.64 percent. |

| • | Valley’s home equity and residential mortgage loan delinquencies remained below the banking industry averages. At September 30, 2008, Valley’s $600.6 million home equity portfolio consisting of over 15,400 loans had only 15 loans past due 30 days or more. These 15 loans totaled $792 thousand or 0.13 percent of the portfolio. Valley’s residential mortgage portfolio totaling $2.3 billion and approximately 9,600 total loans had 59 loans past due 30 days or more. These 59 loans totaled $12.3 million or 0.53 percent of the portfolio. At the same time, automobile loans totaling $1.5 billion and over 117,000 loans had 1,923 loans past due 30 days or more. These 1,923 loans totaled $22.4 million or 1.52 percent of all automobile loans. See “Credit Quality” section below for more details. |
| • | September 30, 2008, Valley National Bank’s capital ratios were all above the minimum level required to be categorized as “well capitalized.” Valley National Bank’s total risk-based capital, Tier I capital, and leverage capital were 10.12 percent, 8.41 percent, and 6.83 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2008. Valley anticipates no change in its regular quarterly cash dividend to common shareholders during the remainder of 2008. |
| • | Total loans grew by $1.0 billion to approximately $10.1 billion at September 30, 2008 compared to June 30, 2008 primarily due to $811.1 million in loans acquired from Greater Community. Valley also experienced solid organic loan growth in commercial mortgage and commercial loans from the linked quarter. |
| • | Net trading gains increased $14.0 million from the linked second quarter of 2008 mainly due to the change in the fair value of Valley’s junior subordinated debentures issued to VNB Capital Trust I (which are carried at fair value), partially offset by $6.1 million in mark to market losses on trading securities. |
Chairman’s Comments
Gerald H. Lipkin, Chairman, President and CEO noted that, “Our third quarter earnings results were substantially impacted by write-downs and realized losses associated with the government’s decision to place Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship and cause the value of their preferred securities to substantially decline. While we’re upset about the impact of these charges brought on by current market conditions, these same market conditions have benefited us by creating more loan opportunities with new quality customers unable to find financing at other financial institutions which are not currently in a stable financial position competing in our primary markets. Excluding the positive impact of the Greater Community acquisition during the quarter, Valley’s commercial mortgage and commercial loan portfolios each grew organically over 22 percent on an annualized basis.
As previously disclosed in Valley’s Form 8-K on September 4, 2008, management is currently reviewing certain owned real estate properties for potential sale-leaseback transactions. Sale-leaseback transactions allow the monetization of the appreciated fair value of such properties and provide cash for future company growth, including additional growth in Valley’s loan portfolio.
Valley’s strength continues to be its straight-forward lending practices. Management has avoided the use of non-traditional, higher-risk loan products that could jeopardize capital and potentially create

liquidity issues. Valley’s delinquency levels remained relatively low with total loans past due in excess of 30 days totaling 0.86 percent of our $10.1 billion loan portfolio at September 30, 2008 as compared to 0.82 percent of total loans at June 30, 2008 and 1.00 percent of total loans at December 31, 2007. These numbers continue to demonstrate the strong performance of our loan portfolio and management’s dedication to conservative loan underwriting standards.
The Treasury Department recently outlined a plan under which the government will offer certain banks a direct capital infusion in exchange for nonvoting senior preferred stock. Although Valley is well-capitalized and its credit performance has remained solid during the current economic crisis, we are carefully examining opportunities for Valley to participate in this program and determine if there is a compelling benefit to Valley and its shareholders. Additionally, the FDIC has expanded its deposit insurance without additional cost to cover, without limitation, all of Valley’s non-interest bearing accounts until November 13, 2008. After such date this coverage becomes a voluntary fee-based program set to expire on December 31, 2009. Valley plans to participate in such program.”
Credit Quality
Management believes that Valley’s credit quality is stable with delinquencies and losses remaining relatively low, despite the difficulties being reported by other financial institutions. Valley’s focus has been and continues to be on traditional lending, utilizing our time-tested conservative underwriting approach. With a loan portfolio totaling approximately $10.1 billion, net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2008 were $4.4 million compared to $4.9 million for the second quarter of 2008, and $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2007. The provision for credit losses was $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2008, and $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2007. The quarterly provision is the result of Valley’s quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio and, among other factors, reflects the increase in the size and rate of growth of the loan portfolio, the level of net loan charge-offs, delinquencies and the current economic environment.
The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans increased 5 basis points to 0.89 percent at September 30, 2008 as compared to June 30, 2008 and increased 1 basis point compared to December 31, 2007. The quarter over quarter increase was mainly the result of solid quarter over quarter loan growth, including non-acquisition related expansion in commercial mortgage and commercial loan categories, and additional reserves of $11.4 million assumed in the Greater Community acquisition during the third quarter of 2008. The following table summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to specific loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each loan category:

Total non-performing assets, consisting of non-accrual loans, other real estate owned (OREO) and other repossessed assets, totaled $41.8 million, or 0.42 percent of loans at September 30, 2008 compared to $36.1 million, or 0.40 percent of loans at June 30, 2008. Non-accrual loans increased $3.1 million mainly due to four commercial loans totaling $3.0 million acquired from Greater Community. OREO also increased $2.7 million due to the foreclosure on a $3.2 million property securing one non-accrual commercial loan during the third quarter of 2008. Repossessed assets remained relatively unchanged, totaling $4.1 million at September 30, 2008 as compared to $4.2 million at June 30, 2008.
Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing increased $1.5 million to $12.7 million, or 0.13 percent of total loans at September 30, 2008 compared to $11.2 million, or 0.12 percent at June 30, 2008. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing include matured performing loans in the normal process of renewal which totaled approximately $6.3 million and $5.6 million at September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Total loans past due in excess of 30 days remained low given the current economic conditions, increasing 0.04 percent to 0.86 percent of total loans at September 30, 2008 compared with 0.82 percent of total loans at June 30, 2008.
Loans and Deposits
During the quarter, loans increased $1.0 billion to approximately $10.1 billion at September 30, 2008 mainly due to $811.1 million in loans acquired from Greater Community. The remaining linked quarter organic loan growth was mainly comprised of increases in commercial mortgage and commercial loans of $148.3 million and $94.3 million, respectively, partially offset by a $60.9 million

decrease in automobile loans. Valley’s lending operations continue to benefit from the dislocation in the credit markets and the expansion of Valley’s lending teams through its growing branch network, including the addition of 16 full-service branches from the Greater Community acquisition. The decline in automobile loans during the third quarter of 2008 resulted from Valley’s tightening of its already conservative auto loan credit standards, as well as lower consumer demand for such products in the current economic environment.
During the quarter, deposits increased $691.0 million to approximately $9.1 billion at September 30, 2008 due to $714.9 million in deposits assumed from the Greater Community acquisition. Excluding the deposit increases resulting from the Greater Community acquisition, Valley experienced declines in savings, NOW and money market accounts, as well as non-interest bearing accounts due to several factors caused by the current market conditions, including concerns over the general welfare of U.S. financial institutions and increased interest rate pressure by competitors in need of liquidity. Valley was able to offset much of the decrease in these account types by offering competitive time deposit rates during the period and increasing such balances through deposit initiatives in Valley’s expanded branch network. Future deposit growth is expected to be dependent on earning asset demand combined with the rates dictated by market competition versus the cost of alternative funding sources.
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $116.6 million for the third quarter of 2008, a $20.7 million increase from the same quarter of 2007 and an increase of $12.7 million from the linked quarter ended June 30, 2008. The linked quarter increase was primarily due to increased loan volumes caused by the Greater Community acquisition, organic loan growth, and an 11 basis point decline in funding costs during the third quarter of 2008, partially offset by additional interest expense related to higher average interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, the payoff of former Greater Community Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaling $25 million in September of 2008 reduced interest expense by $1.8 million due to the accelerated purchase premium amortization on these advances. During the third quarter of 2008, funding costs declined mainly due to continued repricing of matured time deposits renewing at lower interest rates, as well as a slight decrease of eight basis points in the average target Federal funds rate as compared to the second quarter of 2008.
The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 3.64 percent for the third quarter of 2008, an increase of 16 basis points from 3.48 percent for the linked quarter ended June 30, 2008 and an increase of 24 basis points from 3.40 percent for the prior year third quarter. The yield on average interest earning assets increased by six basis points on a linked quarter basis mainly due to a three basis point increase in yield on average total loans as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities decreased 11 basis points from the second quarter of 2008 mainly due to a decrease in the cost of deposits.
Valley’s cost of total deposits remained relatively low by industry standards at 1.77 percent for the third quarter of 2008 compared to 1.83 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease of six basis points was primarily due to the normal repricing of time deposit maturities at lower interest rates during the third quarter of 2008.

Non-Interest Income
Third quarter of 2008 compared with third quarter of 2007
Non-interest income decreased $52.4 million to a net loss of $32.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 compared to non-interest income of $20.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Net losses on securities transactions increased $67.5 million during the third quarter of 2008 due to other-than-temporary impairment and realized losses on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac perpetual preferred stock totaling $70.9 million ($44.1 million after-taxes) partially offset by gains on the sale of available for sale securities. Partially offsetting the decline in non-interest income, net trading gains increased $14.0 million to $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2008. The increase was primarily due to a $20.8 million change in the fair value of Valley’s junior subordinated debentures carried at fair value partly offset by $6.1 million in mark to market losses on trading securities during the third quarter of 2008. Other non-interest income also increased $873 thousand mainly due to general increases in other income associated with the Greater Community acquisition.
Third quarter of 2008 compared with second quarter of 2008
Non-interest income decreased $50.1 million to a net loss of $32.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to non-interest income of $18.0 million for the linked second quarter of 2008. Net losses on securities transactions totaled $67.5 million for the third quarter of 2008 compared to $1.0 million in net losses for the second quarter of 2008 due to other-than-temporary impairment and realized losses on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac perpetual preferred stock totaling $70.9 million ($44.1 million after-taxes), partially offset by gains on the sale of available for sale securities during the 2008 period. Partially offsetting the decline in non-interest income, net trading gains increased $15.0 million compared to a net loss of $301 thousand for the second quarter of 2008. The increase was mainly due to the change in the fair value of Valley’s junior subordinated debentures carried at fair value partly offset by higher mark to market losses on trading securities during the third quarter of 2008. Other non-interest income increased $964 thousand mainly due to general increases in other income associated with the Greater Community acquisition.
Non-Interest Expense
Third quarter of 2008 compared with third quarter of 2007
Non-interest expense increased by $9.7 million, or 15.1 percent to $73.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 from $64.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to the Greater Community acquisition on July 1, 2008 and the addition of nine de novo branches to Valley’s branch network over the last twelve-month period. Valley’s organizational expansion since the third quarter of 2007 accounted for a combined $4.7 million increase in salary and employee benefits and a $1.7 million increase in net occupancy and equipment expense during the third quarter of 2008. Other non-interest expense increased $3.0 million or 28.3 percent to $13.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 mainly due to a $1.2 million prepayment penalty on certain long-term Federal Home Loan Bank advances assumed in the Greater Community acquisition and an $886 thousand increase in expenses related to other real estate owned. The remaining increase in other non-interest

expense was primarily due to several general increases caused by the Greater Community acquisition and Valley’s de novo branching efforts since the 2007 period.
Third quarter of 2008 compared with second quarter of 2008
Non-interest expense increased $9.8 million, or 15.5 percent to $73.8 million for the third quarter of 2008 from $64.0 million for the linked quarter ended June 30, 2008. Salary and employee benefits increased a combined $4.5 million and net occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.3 million mainly due to the acquisition of Greater Community during the third quarter of 2008. Other non-interest expense increased $3.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 mainly due to a $1.2 million prepayment penalty on Federal Home Loan Bank advances and an $829 thousand increase in other real estate owned expense. The remaining increase in other non-interest expense was primarily due to several general increases caused by the Greater Community acquisition.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefit was ($1.2) million for the third quarter of 2008, reflecting an effective benefit rate of (47.6) percent, compared with income tax expense of $11.4 million for the third quarter of 2007, reflecting an effective tax rate of 23.8 percent. The decrease in taxes compared to the third quarter of 2007 was primarily due to the tax effect of the other-than-temporary impairment charges on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac perpetual preferred stock during the third quarter of 2008. Due to Valley’s inability to utilize a portion of the capital losses generated from the impairment charges, Valley recorded a $2.9 million deferred tax valuation allowance. The $2.9 million allowance will be reversed as a tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2008 based upon a tax provision of “The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008,” enacted into law on October 3, 2008, under which these losses will be treated as ordinary losses (rather than capital losses) for tax purposes.
For the fourth quarters of 2008, Valley anticipates that its effective tax rate will approximate 26 percent as compared to 20.6 percent for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The rate is projected based upon management’s judgment regarding future results and could vary due to changes in income tax planning strategies and federal and state income tax laws.
De novo Branch Program
Valley maintains a branch expansion plan which focuses on finding attractive building sites and expanding its presence in the New Jersey counties and towns neighboring Valley’s current office locations, as well as in Manhattan, Kings and Queens Counties in New York. During the first nine months of 2008, eight new branch offices were opened, including Valley’s first two locations in Queens and its fourth branch office in Brooklyn. Valley anticipates completing five additional de novo branch projects during the fourth quarter of 2008, including two additional locations in both Brooklyn and Queens. The slowing economy, coupled with the possibility that other opportunities may become available through acquisition, may slow future branch expansions on a de novo basis. Generally, new branches can add immediate franchise value; however, the additional operating costs and capital requirement will have a negative impact on non-interest expense and net income for several years as the branch operations become individually profitable.

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
| (1) | This press release contains certain supplemental financial information, described in the following notes, which has been determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) that management uses in its analysis of Valley’s performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding Valley’s financial results. Specifically, Valley provides measures based on what it believes are its operating earnings on a consistent basis and exclude non-core operating items which affect the GAAP reporting of results of operations. Management utilizes these measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Management believes that Valley’s presentation and discussion, together with the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Valley’s business and allows investors to view performance in a manner similar to management. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results and Valley strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. |
