SUFFOLK BANCORP REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

·   Net income of $2.7 million versus $1.2 million in first quarter 2012

·   Total loans outstanding increase by 5.6% versus fourth quarter 2012

·   Non-performing assets decline by 83% versus first quarter 2012

·   Average cost of funds improves to 0.22% in first quarter 2013

Riverhead, New York, April 24, 2013 — Suffolk Bancorp (the “Company”) (NASDAQ - SUBK), parent company of Suffolk County National Bank (the “Bank”), today reported net income for the first quarter of 2013 of $2.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, compared to net income of $1.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted common share, a year ago. The improvement in first quarter 2013 earnings versus the comparable 2012 period resulted from a $1.1 million increase in non-interest income, an $804 thousand reduction in total operating expenses and a lower effective tax rate in 2013. The higher level of non-interest income resulted principally from improvements in net gain on the sale of portfolio loans, net gain on the sale of securities available for sale and net gain on the sale of mortgage loans originated for sale during the first quarter of 2013.  The reduction in operating expenses versus 2012 was due to lower pension costs in 2013 resulting from a freezing of the Company’s defined benefit plan at year-end 2012, lower accounting and auditing fees and reductions in consulting and professional services, marketing and telecom expenses. Partially offsetting these positive factors was a $532 thousand (3.7%) reduction in net interest income resulting from a 32 basis point narrowing of the net interest margin to 3.95% in 2013.

Commenting on the first quarter results, President and CEO Howard C. Bluver stated, “I am very pleased with our first quarter results. The various initiatives we put in place over the last year and described in prior disclosures are working well and we are gratified with the positive results and accelerating momentum which has been created.

First, the reorganization of our commercial lending business, together with the geographic and product diversification strategy which began last year, is clearly taking hold. We saw quarter over quarter sequential growth in our total loan portfolio of $43 million, from $781 million at the end of 2012, to $824 million at the end of the first quarter, a 5.6% quarterly growth rate. Just as important, both our current book of approved loans awaiting closing, as well as our pipeline, are strong and growing. The Melville loan production office that opened in late 2012 is ahead of our expectations. Our strategy to protect our eastern Suffolk lending franchise while simultaneously expanding into western Suffolk and Nassau Counties, is very much on track. As we move through 2013, we will look for additional expansion opportunities in the most attractive business markets in Nassau County. Our lending teams have clearly proven they know how to do this successfully.

Second, we believe we are in a unique industry position regarding our ability to protect our strong net interest margin in the current low rate environment. Because of the large loan sales executed throughout 2012, we had $267 million in overnight deposits with correspondent banks, or 17% of total assets, on our balance sheet at the end of March 2013. Notwithstanding that relatively large cash position, our net interest margin during the quarter was an attractive 3.95%. This was possible due to an extraordinarily low cost of funds of 22 basis points, which was driven by the fact that 40% of our total deposits are in demand deposits. Going forward, as we carefully redeploy our large cash position into higher yielding loans and other interest-earning assets, the impact on our margin should

  PRESS RELEASE April 24, 2013 Page 2 of 11    

be positive. The unmatched core deposit franchise built up over the last 120 years at our Company provides us with a strong competitive advantage in our local marketplace, and we intend to leverage that advantage to the best of our ability.

Third, credit performance in the first quarter was very strong and we are confident that the legacy credit issues are now well behind us. Non-performing loans were 1.75% of the total loan portfolio at the end of March 2013 versus 8.85% a year ago, and we believe that the non-performing loans that remain will be positively resolved over time. Early delinquencies, which are often considered a harbinger of future credit problems, were down significantly in the quarter, from $14 million, or 1.81% of the total loan portfolio at the end of 2012, to $7 million, or 0.80% of the total loan portfolio, at the end of the 2013 first quarter. In addition, because of sales completed in the first quarter, our non-performing held-for-sale portfolio has been completely eliminated,and we are now down to owning a single other real estate owned property with a book value of $372 thousand.  In short, we believe we are in a very strong position from a credit quality standpoint, and we have developed our new incentive plans to ensure that our people are focused on credit quality every single day.

Finally, we are pleased that several of the initiatives we implemented on the expense side in late 2012 are beginning to pay off. While we needed to make significant investments in people, systems and new offices over the last year to implement our growth plans, we are beginning to recognize meaningful cost savings in other areas, such as reduced costs in benefit plans, outside consultants and various support vendors. As we move through 2013 and beyond, we will work hard to improve our efficiency by balancing the need to invest in growth with cost saves in other areas.”

Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2013

The Company recorded net income of $2.7 million during the first quarter of 2013 versus net income of $1.2 million in the comparable 2012 period. The improvement in 2013 net income primarily reflects a $1.1 million increase in non-interest income, an $804 thousand reduction in total operating expenses and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of $532 thousand  in 2013.

Non-interest income grew by $1.1 million or 47.1% versus 2012 due to a combination of increases in gain on the sale of portfolio loans of $442 thousand, gain on the sale of securities available for sale of $359 thousand and gain on the sale of mortgage loans originated for sale of $329 thousand in 2013. The net gain on the sale of portfolio loans related to loans previously written down and transferred to held-for-sale during the second quarter of 2012. The gain on the sale of investment securities resulted from a strategic repositioning of a portion of the Company’s portfolio to take advantage of market conditions present in 2013. The growth in income associated with the sale of mortgage loans originated for sale is due to the Company’s commitment to this business which has resulted in significant growth in monthly originations sourced through a dedicated sales staff and branch referral network.

Total operating expenses declined by $804 thousand or 5.5% in 2013 versus 2012 as the result of reductions in several expense categories, most notably pension costs (down $824 thousand), accounting and audit fees (down $563 thousand), consulting and professional services expenses (down $327 thousand) and other operating expenses (down $607 thousand) largely due to lower marketing and telecom expenses. These were partially offset by increases in FDIC assessment expenses, occupancy and equipment expenses and data processing costs of $447 thousand, $150 thousand and $98 thousand, respectively.

The decrease in net interest income of $532 thousand resulted from a 32 basis point reduction in the Company’s net interest margin to 3.95% in 2013 versus 2012, offset in part by an $83 million increase in average total interest-earning assets. The decrease in the net interest margin was due to the continued low level of interest rates coupled with a shift in the Company’s balance sheet mix from loans (average loans down 17.1% versus first quarter 2012) into lower-yielding overnight interest-bearing deposits and fed funds sold which represented 20% of average total interest-earning assets in the first quarter of 2013 versus 10% in the first quarter of 2012.

The Company’s first quarter 2013 average total interest-earning asset yield was 4.16%, down 40 basis points from the comparable 2012 period principally due to a 46 basis point reduction in the average yield on the Company’s securities portfolio to 3.97% in 2013 versus 2012. The securities portfolio increased by $124 million to $421 million at March 31, 2013 versus the comparable 2012 date. At March 31, 2013, the securities portfolio had an unrealized pre-tax gain of $15 million and an estimated weighted average life of 4.4 years.

The Company’s average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities declined by 15 basis points to 0.37% in the first quarter of 2013 versus 0.52% in the first quarter of 2012. The Company’s lower funding cost resulted largely from average core deposits of $1.2 billion in 2013, with average demand deposits representing 40% of average total deposits. Total deposits decreased by $27 million to $1.4 billion at March 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 and increased by $92 million versus March 31, 2012.

  PRESS RELEASE April 24, 2013 Page 4 of 11    

The Company recorded income tax expense of $483 thousand in the first quarter of 2013 resulting in an effective tax rate of 15.1% versus $690 thousand and 37.1%, respectively, in the comparable period a year ago. The reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate in 2013 versus 2012 resulted from a change in the expected tax rate at which the deferred tax asset will be realized in future periods and the establishment of a full valuation reserve on the Company’s New York State net operating loss.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans, excluding loans categorized as held-for-sale, totaled $14 million or 1.75% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2013 versus $16 million or 2.10% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2012 and $83 million or 8.85% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2012. The decrease in non-accrual loans at March 31, 2013 compared to March 31, 2012 resulted primarily from the sales in 2012 of non-performing and other criticized and classified loans as part of management’s strategy to resolve legacy credit issues. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total non-accrual loans amounted to 124% at March 31, 2013 versus 108% at December 31, 2012 and 48% at March 31, 2012.

Total accruing loans delinquent 30 days or more amounted to $7 million or 0.80% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2013 versus $14 million or 1.81% of loans outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and $22 million or 2.35% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2012.

Total criticized and classified loans were $85 million at March 31, 2013, $99 million at December 31, 2012 and $246 million at March 31, 2012. Criticized loans are those loans that are not classified but require some degree of heightened monitoring. Classified loans were $54 million at March 31, 2013, $54 million at December 31, 2012 and $177 million at March 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total classified loans was 33%, 33% and 23%, respectively, at the same dates.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had $16 million in troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), primarily consisting of commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, commercial real estate loans and residential mortgages totaling $8 million, $4 million and $4 million, respectively. The Company had TDRs amounting to $17 million at December 31, 2012 and $28 million at March 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s allowance for loan losses amounted to $18 million or 2.16% of period-end loans outstanding. The allowance as a percentage of loans outstanding was 2.28% at December 31, 2012 and 4.26% at March 31, 2012.

The Company recorded net loan recoveries of $53 thousand in the first quarter of 2013 versus net loan charge-offs of $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $50 thousand in net loan recoveries in the first quarter of 2012. As a percentage of average total loans outstanding, these net amounts represented, on an annualized basis, (0.03)% for the first quarter of 2013, 1.12% for the fourth quarter of 2012 and (0.02)% for the first quarter of 2012.

The Company held OREO of $372 thousand, $1.6 million and $1.8 million at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The Company sold one OREO property at its carrying value of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2013.

Capital

Total stockholders’ equity was $166 million at March 31, 2013 compared to $164 million at December 31, 2012 and $136 million at March 31, 2012. The increase in stockholders’ equity versus March 31, 2012 is largely reflective of the Company’s $25 million private placement of common stock during the third quarter of 2012.

The Company’s return on average common stockholders’ equity was 6.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus 3.43% for the comparable 2012 period.

The Bank’s Tier I leverage, Tier I risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.77%, 16.28% and 17.53%, respectively, at March 31, 2013. Each of these ratios exceeds the regulatory guidelines for a “well capitalized” institution, the highest regulatory capital category. Each of these ratios also exceeds the individual minimum capital ratios established by the OCC requiring the

  PRESS RELEASE April 24, 2013 Page 5 of 11    

Bank to maintain Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 8.00%, 10.50% and 12.00%, respectively.

The Company’s capital ratios exceeded all regulatory requirements at March 31, 2013. The Company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 10.23% at March 31, 2013 versus 9.96% at December 31, 2012 and 9.02% at March 31, 2012.

Safe Harbor Statement Pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This press release includes statements which look to the future. These can include remarks about the Company, the banking industry, the economy in general, expectations of the business environment in which the Company operates, projections of future performance, and potential future credit experience. These remarks are based upon current management expectations, and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and are beyond the Company’s control and are subject to a variety of uncertainties that could cause future results to vary materially from the Company’s historical performance, or from current expectations. These remarks may be identified by such forward-looking statements as “should,” “expect,” “believe,” “view,” “opportunity,” “allow,” “continues,” “reflects,” “typically,” “usually,” “anticipate,” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Factors that could affect the Company include particularly, but are not limited to: a failure by the Company to meet the deadlines under SEC rules for filing its periodic reports (or any permitted extension thereof); increased capital requirements mandated by the Company’s regulators; the Company’s ability to raise capital; changes in interest rates; increases or decreases in retail and commercial economic activity in the Company’s market area; variations in the ability and propensity of consumers and businesses to borrow, repay, or deposit money, or to use other banking and financial services; results of regulatory examinations; any failure by the Company to comply with our written agreement with the OCC (the “Agreement”) or the individual minimum capital ratios for the Bank established by the OCC; the cost of compliance with the Agreement; any failure by the Company to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; larger-than-expected losses from the sale of assets; potential litigation or regulatory action relating to the matters resulting in the Company’s failure to file on time its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, and September 30, 2011 or resulting from the revisions to earnings previously announced on April 12, 2011 or the restatement of its financial statements for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2010; and the potential that net charge-offs are higher than expected or for further increases in our provision for loan losses. Further, it could take the Company longer than anticipated to implement its strategic plans to increase revenue and manage non-interest expense, or it may not be possible to implement those plans at all. Finally, new and unanticipated legislation, regulation, or accounting standards may require the Company to change its practices in ways that materially change the results of operations. We have no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document. For more information, see the risk factors described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Total loans	$	824,399		$	939,736
(1) At end of period.
(2) The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets, or TCE ratio, is calculated by dividing total common stockholders’ equity by total assets, after reducing both amounts by intangible assets. The TCE ratio is not required by GAAP or by applicable bank regulatory requirements, but is a metric used by management to evaluate the adequacy of our capital levels. Since there is no authoritative requirement to calculate the TCE ratio, our TCE ratio is not necessarily comparable to similar capital measures disclosed or used by other companies in the financial services industry. Tangible common equity and tangible assets are non-GAAP financial measures and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. With respect to the calculation of the actual unaudited TCE ratio as of March 31, 2013, reconciliations of tangible common equity to GAAP total common stockholders’ equity and tangible assets to GAAP total assets are set forth below:
Total stockholders' equity	$	165,556		Total assets		$	1,593,926
Less: intangible assets		(2,853	)	Less: intangible assets			(2,853)
Tangible common equity	$	162,703		Tangible assets		$	1,591,073
(3) Excluding loans held for sale.
