Boston Private Financial Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2010 Results

Q3 Net Loss of $0.10/Share vs. $0.07/Share Net Loss in Q2 10

Boston, MA – October 27, 2010 –Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPFH) (the “Company”) today reported a third quarter 2010 GAAP Net Loss Attributable to the Company of $7.2 million, compared to Net Income Attributable to the Company of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2010. The net loss for the 2010 period was primarily driven by a $32.1 million in Provision for Loan Losses, largely resulting from credit-related stress in the commercial real estate portfolio at the Company’s Northern California banking affiliate.

After accounting for non-cash equity adjustments and preferred dividends, the Company reported a third quarter 2010 GAAP loss per share of $0.10 compared to a GAAP loss per share of $0.07 in the second quarter of 2010.

President and Chief Executive Officer Clayton G. Deutsch said, “We are taking action based on ongoing economic stress in Northern California and within the commercial real estate market. Due primarily to deterioration in four large relationships in the third quarter, we have substantially increased the Provision for Loan Losses, which drove our net loss for the quarter. We continue to work proactively to deal with the challenges in that market and will continue to maintain an appropriately conservative posture.”

Mr. Deutsch continued, “More broadly, we see a number of encouraging signs across the Company this quarter, highlighted by our pre-tax income, excluding Provision for Loan Losses, of $12.8 million. Excluding the executive transition charges, this figure increases to $16.3 million, which is a 58% year-over-year increase on a normalized basis. We posted a strong overall increase in revenue across our banks and non-banks, and are demonstrating positive expense leverage and positive margin development.”

Key Financials

• Revenue for the third quarter was $73.7 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 4%, from $70.7 million on a linked quarter basis. Revenues were up 11% from $66.2 million compared to the same period in 2009.

Operating Expenses were up 9% from $55.9 million compared to the same period in 2009. Executive transition charges of $3.5 million accounted for the majority of the increases.

“While the $3.5 million executive transition charges negatively impacted our Operating Expenses in the third quarter, going forward we believe that the transitions will help improve our operating efficiency, which is one of our top priorities. These and other changes to our executive and holding company structure will result in annual cost savings of approximately $4 million,” said David J. Kaye, Chief Financial Officer. “Similarly, the additional Provision for Loan Losses strengthened our Allowance for Loan Losses.”

The Company experienced third quarter AUM net inflows of $2 million, as compared to $10 million of net inflows in the prior quarter.

“Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on core earnings growth,” said Mr. Deutsch. “We plan to capitalize on growth opportunities across our private banks. We will look for continued strong performance at our New England bank, which is the model for our overall private banking strategy through its outstanding client service and approach to building relationships, and will accelerate adoption of this model across our entire banking footprint. In addition, we are seeking stronger growth from our wealth advisors and investment managers as they capitalize on client acquisition and development initiatives. And, we will continue to work on improving expense productivity.”
