Riverhead, New York, October 21, 2015 — Suffolk Bancorp (the "Company") (NASDAQ - SUBK), parent company of Suffolk County National Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $4.9 million, or $0.42 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $3.7 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded net income of $14.1 million, or $1.19 per diluted common share, versus $11.2 million, or $0.96 per diluted common share for the comparable 2014 year-to-date period.

The 31.7% increase in third quarter 2015 reported earnings versus the comparable 2014 period resulted from a $1.8 million increase in net interest income and a $568 thousand reduction in total operating expenses. Partially offsetting these improvements was a $123 thousand reduction in non-interest income and a $100 thousand increase in the provision for loan losses in 2015.

President & CEO Howard C. Bluver stated: "I am pleased to report another excellent quarter. It is gratifying to see the expansion strategies we have consistently articulated for our lending and deposit businesses translate into strong financial performance and accelerating momentum across the board.

"First, our lending businesses continue to perform exceedingly well. Linked-quarter growth in our total loan portfolio was approximately $83 million, from $1.477 billion at June 30, 2015 to $1.560 billion at September 30, 2015, a 5.6% increase. Total loans at the end of the third quarter represented a 24% increase from the comparable quarter a year ago. Even more impressive, third quarter loan growth was net of the sale of approximately $25 million in multifamily loans that was completed in late September, generating a

PRESS RELEASE

net gain of $370 thousand. As we have previously articulated, the strong loan origination machine we have built as we expand west gives us the ability to take advantage of a deep and attractive market for the kind of high quality multifamily loans we are originating in New York City. This gives us the flexibility to periodically complete strategic sales like the one this quarter in order to generate non-interest income, protect our net interest margin and avoid becoming too concentrated in a single product line. We are also pleased to report that our loan pipeline continues to be robust and we remain optimistic about the prospect for continued strong loan growth for the rest of 2015 and into early 2016.

"This quarter's results on the lending side clearly show that our core growth strategy of protecting and enhancing our traditional markets on the east end of Long Island, while we simultaneously expand west, is working exactly as envisioned. As the local economy has improved, loan demand has strengthened in our traditional markets. In addition, the loan production offices we opened during the last three years in Melville, Garden City and Long Island City, are all contributing substantially to our results. Because of the success we have had over this period, we are also finding it easier to recruit experienced bankers with established customer relationships in our expansion markets. For all these reasons, we believe we are in the early stages of a proven and successful expansion strategy.

"Second, our deposit businesses had another remarkable quarter, allowing us to fund all of our quarterly loan production through core deposit growth. Total core deposits, consisting of demand, N.O.W., savings and money market accounts, grew approximately $84 million during the quarter, from $1.476 billion at June 30, 2015 to $1.560 billion at September 30, 2015, a 5.7% increase. Total deposits, including time accounts, were $1.796 billion at September 30, 2015 and represented a 13.6% increase from the comparable quarter a year ago. Just as impressive, 45% of the third quarter's total deposit growth came from increases in non-interest bearing demand deposits, which grew $35 million in the quarter, from $766 million on June 30, 2015 to $801 million on September 30, 2015, a 4.5% increase. Total demand deposits at September 30, 2015 represented a 17.6% increase from the comparable quarter a year ago. We clearly benefitted from a strong summer season in our traditional markets on the east end of Long Island, including the Hamptons, as well as significant deposit generation coming from new lending customers as we expand west. As our western expansion matures, it is also gratifying to see the seasonality in deposit growth traditionally associated with our east end markets become less pronounced.

"The quarterly results on the deposit side continue to prove that the core deposit franchise we have built over 125 years is unique in our marketplace and gives us a significant competitive advantage, particularly in a rising rate environment. At the end of the third quarter, 45% of our total deposits were demand deposits, resulting in an extraordinarily low cost of funds of 18 basis points and an attractive core net interest margin of 3.85%. In addition, core deposits represented 87% of total deposits at September 30, 2015. Our continuing ability to bring in new customer relationships, provide superior customer service and focus on low funding costs is part of our corporate DNA and is something we have benefitted from throughout all interest rate cycles over many decades. We continue to maintain an asset sensitive balance sheet so that, over time, we will benefit from positive earnings leverage as interest rates rise and the yields on our relatively short duration assets grow faster than the costs of our deposit liabilities."

Mr. Bluver continued: "Third, credit quality continues to be very strong in all categories. Total non-accrual loans at September 30, 2015 were $7.5 million, or 0.48% of total loans, compared to $5.5 million, or 0.37% of total loans at June 30, 2015. However, this slight quarterly increase in total non-accrual loans was largely the result of a single relationship placed on non-accrual that was significantly paid down shortly after the end of the quarter. Accordingly, total non-accrual loans today are $6.0 million, or 0.38% of quarter-end loans. All other key credit metrics remain solid and reflect our steadfast commitment to a strong credit culture. Early delinquencies (30-89 days past due), which we manage aggressively as a harbinger of future credit issues, remain extremely low at $1.0 million, or 0.06% of total loans at September 30, 2015. Given the continuous improvement we have seen in our credit profile, as well as the strengthening economic conditions in our markets, we believe we are well reserved. Our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015 was $20.3 million, or 1.30% of total loans and 271% of total non-accrual loans.

"Finally, we continue to be vigilant in controlling operating expenses and improving our efficiency. The successful expansion strategies that have resulted in strong overall financial results during the last three years require significant investment, particularly in attracting the best lending and credit professionals to drive performance. Nevertheless, we have been successful in finding ways to fund these investments by reducing expenses in other areas, a trend clearly reflected in our third quarter results. Total operating expenses in the third quarter were $12.7 million, which is less than the $13.2 million in operating expenses incurred in both the second quarter of 2015 and the comparable quarter a year ago. This improvement in operating leverage, which was accomplished

notwithstanding the significant revenue enhancing investments funded during the last year, translated into an improvement in our core efficiency ratio during the third quarter to 61.8%, from 69.2% in the comparable quarter a year ago. We have proven our ability to balance the need for investment to generate revenue with expense saves and we will continue to do this going forward."

The $1.8 million or 11.8% improvement in third quarter 2015 net interest income resulted from a $220 million (13.4%) increase in average total interest-earning assets. Partially offsetting the earning asset growth was an 11 basis point decline in the Company's net interest margin to 3.89% in 2015 from 4.00% in 2014. The Company's third quarter 2015 average total interest-earning asset yield was 4.06% versus 4.14% in the comparable 2014 quarterly period. The decline in the interest-earning asset yield in 2015 resulted from reductions in the average yields on the loan and investment portfolios of 22 and nine basis points, respectively, when compared to the third quarter of 2014. Adjusting for the impact of net non-accrual interest received in each period, the Company's core net interest margin was 3.85% in the third quarter of 2015 versus 3.97% in the third quarter of 2014. The Company's average balance sheet mix continued to improve as average loans increased by $292 million (24.0%) versus third quarter 2014 and low-yielding overnight interest-bearing deposits and federal funds sold declined by $30 million (71.3%) during the same period. The average securities portfolio decreased by $45 million to $331 million in the third quarter of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period. The average yield on the investment portfolio was 3.62% in the third quarter of 2015 versus 3.71% a year ago. At September 30, 2015, tax-exempt municipal securities, at 37%, made up the largest component of the Company's investment portfolio. The available for sale securities portfolio had an unrealized pre-tax gain of $5.2 million and the entire securities portfolio had an estimated weighted average life of 4.6 years at September 30, 2015.

The Company's average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities increased by five basis points to 0.32% in the third quarter of 2015 versus 0.27% in the third quarter of 2014. The Company's total cost of funds, among the lowest in the industry, increased nominally to 0.18% in the third quarter of 2015 versus 0.16% a year ago. Average core deposits increased $170 million (12.7%) to $1.5 billion during the third quarter of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period, with average demand deposits representing 44% of third quarter 2015 average total deposits. Total deposits increased by $215 million or 13.6% to $1.8 billion at September 30, 2015 versus September 30, 2014. Core deposit balances, which represented 87% of total deposits at September 30, 2015, grew by $204 million or 15.0% during the same period. Average borrowings increased $41 million during the third quarter of 2015 compared to 2014 and were used, in part, to fund the growth in the Company's loan portfolio, which increased by $292 million on average during that same period.

Total operating expenses declined by $568 thousand or 4.3% in the third quarter of 2015 versus 2014 principally the result of a $648 thousand reduction in employee compensation and benefits expense in 2015, reflecting lower expense levels for incentive compensation, pension, 401(k) and medical insurance in 2015. The Company's core operating efficiency ratio improved to 61.8% in the third quarter of 2015 from 69.2% a year ago.

As a result of continued growth in the loan portfolio, the Company recorded a $350 thousand provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 2015. The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $250 thousand in the third quarter of 2014.

Non-interest income declined by $123 thousand or 4.8% in the third quarter of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period. This reduction was due to several factors, most notably reductions in fiduciary fees (down $265 thousand) and service charges on deposits (down $138 thousand). Fiduciary fees declined as a result of the Company's decision to exit the wealth management market during the fourth quarter of 2014 through the sale of its wealth management business. Deposit service charges declined due to reductions in overdraft fees and demand deposit account analysis charges in 2015. Somewhat offsetting these reductions were higher net gains on the sale of securities available for sale (up $122 thousand) and on the sale of portfolio loans (up $153 thousand). Excluding the impact of the wealth management sale in 2014 and the net gain on the sale of securities in each period, non-interest income increased by $20 thousand in 2015.

The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.9 million in the third quarter of 2015 resulting in an effective tax rate of 27.5% versus an income tax expense of $875 thousand and an effective tax rate of 19.0% in the comparable period a year ago. The increase in the 2015 effective tax rate resulted from growth in pre-tax income taxed at the 35% federal rate, coupled with a reduction in tax-exempt income versus the comparable 2014 period.

Earnings Summary for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

The Company recorded net income of $14.1 million during the first nine months of 2015 versus $11.2 million in the comparable 2014 period. The 25.1% improvement in 2015 net income resulted principally from a $5.3 million increase in net interest income in the first nine months of 2015 coupled with a $747 thousand reduction in total operating expenses and a $150 thousand decline in the provision for loan losses. Partially offsetting these positive factors was a $1.8 million reduction in non-interest income and an increase in the Company's effective tax rate in 2015.

The $5.3 million or 11.5% improvement in September year-to-date 2015 net interest income resulted from a $205 million increase in average total interest-earning assets, offset in part by a nine basis point contraction of the Company's net interest margin to 4.02% in 2015 from 4.11% in 2014. The Company's September year-to-date 2015 average total interest-earning asset yield was 4.19% versus 4.27% in the comparable 2014 year-to-date period. A lower average yield on the Company's loan portfolio in the first nine months of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period, down 27 basis points to 4.35%, was the primary contributing factor in the reduction in the interest-earning asset yield. The Company's average balance sheet mix continued to improve as average loans increased by $286 million (24.9%) versus September year-to-date 2014 and low-yielding overnight interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell declined by $31 million during the same period. The average securities portfolio decreased by $53 million to $346 million in the September year-to-date 2015 period versus 2014. The average yield on the investment portfolio was 3.74% in the 2015 period versus 3.73% a year ago.

The Company's average cost of total interest-bearing liabilities increased by two basis points to 0.30% in the first nine months of 2015 versus 0.28% in the comparable 2014 period. The Company's total cost of funds was 0.17% in the first nine months of 2015 versus 0.16% in 2014. Average core deposits increased by $123 million to $1.4 billion during the first nine months of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period, with average demand deposits representing 44% of year-to-date 2015 average total deposits. Average total deposits increased by $124 million or 8.1% to $1.7 billion during the September 2015 year-to-date period versus 2014. Average core deposit balances represented 86% of average total deposits during the 2015 period. Average borrowings increased by $76 million during the first nine months of 2015 compared to 2014 and represented 4.5% of total average funding during the September 2015 year-to-date period.

Due to a combination of improved credit metrics coupled with $515 thousand in 2015 year-to-date net recoveries, the Company's provision for loan losses declined by $150 thousand during the first nine months of 2015 versus the comparable 2014 period.

Total operating expenses declined by $747 thousand in the first nine months of 2015 versus 2014 as the result of reductions in several categories, most notably employee compensation and benefits (down $875 thousand) and consulting and professional services (down $392 thousand). Excluding a $449 thousand branch consolidation expense credit recorded in the 2014 year-to-date period, total operating expenses would have declined by $1.2 million or 3.0% in 2015 when compared to 2014. The Company's core operating efficiency ratio improved to 64.8% in the first nine months of 2015 from 70.8% a year ago.

Non-interest income declined by $1.8 million or 21.1% in the September 2015 year-to-date period when compared to 2014. This reduction was due to several factors, most notably reductions in net gain on sale of premises and equipment (down $752 thousand), fiduciary fees (down $824 thousand), service charges on deposit accounts (down $515 thousand) and other service charges, commissions and fees (down $317 thousand). The reduction in net gain on the sale of premises and equipment resulted from gains recorded in 2014 on the sale of two bank properties. Fiduciary fees declined as a result of the Company's sale of its wealth management business in late 2014. Deposit service charges declined principally due to a reduction in overdraft and demand deposit account analysis fees in 2015. Other service charges, commissions and fees were lower than the comparable 2014 period primarily as the result of a reduction in income from the sale of investment products through the Company's branch network. Partially offsetting the foregoing reductions in non-interest income were increases in net gain on the sale of securities available for sale (up $331 thousand) and net gain on the sale of portfolio loans (up $351 thousand).

The Company recorded income tax expense of $4.7 million in the year-to-date September 2015 period resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.0% versus an income tax expense of $3.0 million and an effective tax rate of 21.3% in the comparable period a year ago. The

increase in the 2015 effective tax rate resulted from growth in pre-tax income taxed at the 35% federal rate, coupled with a reduction in tax-exempt income versus the comparable 2014 period.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans totaled $7.5 million or 0.48% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2015 versus $13.0 million or 0.96% of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2014 and $14.7 million or 1.16% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2014.

Total accruing loans delinquent 30 days or more amounted to $1 million or 0.06% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2015 as compared to $1 million or 0.10% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2014 and $3 million or 0.25% of loans outstanding at September 30, 2014.

Total criticized and classified loans were $29 million at September 30, 2015 versus $40 million at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014. Criticized loans are those loans that are not classified but require some degree of heightened monitoring. Classified loans were $15 million at September 30, 2015 as compared to $30 million at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total classified loans was 133%, 64% and 62%, respectively, at the same dates.

At September 30, 2015, the Company had $13 million in troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"), primarily consisting of commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans and residential mortgages totaling $1 million, $5 million and $5 million, respectively. The Company had TDRs amounting to $20 million at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.

At September 30, 2015, the Company's allowance for loan losses amounted to $20.3 million or 1.30% of period-end loans outstanding.

The Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $86 thousand in the third quarter of 2015 versus net loan recoveries of $726 thousand in the second quarter of 2015 and net loan recoveries of $72 thousand in the third quarter of 2014. As a percentage of average total loans outstanding, these net amounts represented, on an annualized basis, 0.02% for the third quarter of 2015, (0.21%) for the second quarter of 2015 and (0.02%) for the third quarter of 2014.

The Company held no OREO during any of the reported periods.

Capital

Total stockholders' equity was $197 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $183 million at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014. The increase in stockholders' equity versus September 30, 2014 was due principally to net income recorded during the past twelve months, net of dividends paid. The Company's return on average common stockholders' equity was 10.15% and 9.95% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 versus 8.18% and 8.51%, respectively, for the comparable 2014 periods.

The Bank's tier 1 leverage, common equity tier 1 risk-based, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.78%, 11.77%, 11.77% and 13.01%, respectively, at September 30, 2015. Each of these ratios exceeds the regulatory guidelines for a "well capitalized" institution, the highest regulatory capital category.

The Company's capital ratios also exceeded all regulatory requirements at September 30, 2015. The Company's TCE ratio (non-GAAP financial measure) was 9.38% at September 30, 2015 versus 9.50% at December 31, 2014 and 10.07% at September 30, 2014.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

This discussion includes non-GAAP financial measures of the Company's TCE ratio, tangible common equity, tangible assets, core net income, core FTE net interest income, core FTE net interest margin, core operating expenses, core non-interest income, core FTE non-interest income and core operating efficiency ratio. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide both management and investors a more complete understanding of the underlying operational results and trends and the Company's marketplace performance. The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the numbers prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other financial institutions.

With respect to the calculations of core net income, core FTE net interest income and core FTE net interest margin for the periods presented in this discussion, reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures are provided in the following tables. Such reconciliations for the TCE ratio, tangible common equity, tangible assets, core operating expenses, core non-interest income, core FTE non-interest income and core operating efficiency ratio are provided elsewhere herein.

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

Certain statements contained in this discussion are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

that cannot be predicted or quantified, that are beyond the Company's control and 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: increased capital requirements mandated by the Company's regulators; the Company's ability to raise capital; competitive factors, including price competition; 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 or changes in law, regulations or regulatory practices; the Company's ability to attract and retain key management and staff; any failure by the Company to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting; larger-than-expected losses from the sale of assets; 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.

(1) Demand, savings, N.O.W. and money market deposits.
(2) The operating efficiency ratio is calculated by dividing operating expenses, excluding net gains and losses on sales and writedowns of OREO, by the sum of fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") net interest income and non-interest income, excluding net gains and losses on bulk sales of loans and sales of available for sale securities.
(3) The core operating efficiency ratio is calculated by making certain adjustments to the operating efficiency ratio calculation. The core operating efficiency ratio is not required by U.S. GAAP or by applicable bank regulatory requirements, but is a metric used by management to evaluate core operating efficiency. Since there is no authoritative requirement to calculate this ratio, our ratio is not necessarily comparable to similar efficiency measures disclosed or used by other companies in the financial services industry. The core operating efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The reconciliation of core FTE net interest income to FTE net interest income is provided elsewhere herein. With respect to the calculation of the actual unaudited core operating efficiency ratio as of the reported periods, the reconciliation of core operating expenses to U.S. GAAP total operating expenses and core non-interest income to U.S. GAAP total non-interest income and the calculation of the core operating efficiency ratio are set forth below:

(1) 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP. With respect to the calculation of the actual unaudited TCE ratios as of September 30, 2015, reconciliations of tangible common equity to U.S. GAAP total common stockholders' equity and tangible assets to U.S. GAAP total assets are set forth below:
Suffolk Bancorp:
Total stockholders' equity	$	196,540					Total assets			$	2,066,844			9.51	%
Less: intangible assets		(2,915	)				Less: intangible assets				(2,915	)
Tangible common equity	$	193,625					Tangible assets			$	2,063,929			9.38	%

Suffolk County National Bank:

Less: intangible assets		(2,915	)				Less: intangible assets				(2,915	)
Tangible common equity	$	190,164					Tangible assets			$	2,063,563			9.22	%

(2) The ratio of total stockholders' equity to total assets is the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure to the non-GAAP tangible common
equity ratio presented herein.
