ASTORIA FINANCIAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER EPS OF $0.09
Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.13 Per Share Declared
Lake Success, New York, January 27, 2010 — Astoria Financial Corporation (NYSE: AF) (“Astoria,” the “Company”), the holding company for Astoria Federal Savings and Loan Association (“Astoria Federal”, the “Bank”), today reported net income of $8.1 million, or $0.09 diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 compared to $29.4 million, or $0.32 EPS, (operating income of $22.1 million, or $0.24 operating EPS), for the 2008 fourth quarter.(a) Operating income equaled net income for the 2009 fourth quarter.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, net income totaled $27.7 million, or $0.30 EPS, (operating income of $38.6 million, or $0.42 operating EPS) compared to $75.3 million, or $0.82 EPS, (operating income of $125.8 million, or $1.38 operating EPS) for the year ended December 31, 2008.(b)
Operating income and operating EPS, representing net income and EPS determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) excluding the effects of certain items that are not routine to our core operations, provide a meaningful comparison for evaluating Astoria’s operating results and are detailed in the footnotes below. For a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures, please refer to the “Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Measures’ table included in this release.
Commenting on the quarter and full year results, George L. Engelke, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Astoria, noted “While the decreases in the year-over-year fourth quarter and full year results reflect the effect of a prolonged and severe job loss recession that has resulted in increased loan delinquencies, higher credit costs and non-performing loans as compared to a year ago, the fundamental operating performance of the Company on a linked quarter basis is encouraging. Specifically, the improvement in net interest income and the net interest margin coupled with the stabilizing trend in non-performing loans, will have a positive impact on earnings in future quarters.”
(a) Included in the 2008 fourth quarter is a tax benefit of $7.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, due to a tax adjustment related to the recognition of the 2008 third quarter other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge relating to Freddie Mac preferred stock.
(b) Included in the year ended December 31, 2009 are pre-tax charges totaling $16.7 million ($10.9 million, after-tax, or $0.12 per diluted share). These included an FDIC deposit insurance special assessment totaling $9.9 million, a $1.6 million lower of cost or market write-down on a former mortgage origination building, both recorded in the 2009 second quarter, and an OTTI, non-cash charge of $5.3 million recorded in the 2009 first quarter related to Freddie Mac preferred stock. Included in the year ended December 31, 2008, is an OTTI non-cash, pre-tax charge totaling $77.7 million ($50.5 million, after-tax, or $0.56 per diluted share) relating to Freddie Mac preferred stock.

The Board of Directors of the Company, at their January 27, 2010 meeting, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share. The dividend is payable on March 1, 2010 to shareholders of record as of February 16, 2010. This is the fifty-ninth consecutive quarterly cash dividend declared by the Company.
Board Sets Annual Shareholders’ Meeting Date
The Board of Directors of the Company, at their January 27, 2010 meeting, established May 19, 2010 as the date for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, with a voting record date of March 24, 2010.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year Earnings Summary
Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 totaled $105.0 million compared to $103.1 million for the 2009 third quarter and $114.9 million for the 2008 fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2009, net interest income increased $33.4 million, or 8.4%, from the year ended December 31, 2008, to $428.8 million.
Astoria’s net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 increased to 2.15%, 8 basis points above the 2009 third quarter and was just 3 basis points lower than the 2008 fourth quarter. The linked quarter increase was due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declining more rapidly than the yield on interest-earning assets. During the 2009 fourth quarter, $2.2 billion of CDs matured (excluding Liquid CDs), with a weighted average rate of 3.28% and an original weighted average maturity of 12 months, and $1.6 billion of CDs were issued or repriced, with a weighted average rate of 1.59% and a weighted average maturity of 18 months.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the margin was 2.13%, 22 basis points higher than the margin for the year ended December 31, 2008. The increase, like that of the linked quarter increase, was primarily due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declining more rapidly than the yield on interest-earning assets. For the year ended December 31, 2009, $7.6 billion of CDs matured (excluding Liquid CDs), with a weighted average rate of 3.31% and an original weighted average maturity of 12 months, and $6.5 billion of CDs were issued or repriced, with a weighted average rate of 1.94% and a weighted average maturity of 14 months. “We have been successful in reducing the cost of CDs while extending the maturity terms in an effort to improve interest rate risk sensitivity,” Mr. Engelke noted. During 2009, the one-year cumulative interest rate sensitivity gap was reduced to negative 6.77% at December 31, 2009 compared to negative 19.06% at December 31, 2008, primarily due to increased mortgage cash flow, as well as a significant increase in mortgage loans repricing into one-year ARMs, coupled with the aforementioned extension of CD maturities. For additional detail regarding the yields on interest-earning assets and costs on interest-bearing liabilities please refer to the “Average Balance Sheets” tables included in this release.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2009, a $50.0 million provision for loan losses was recorded which was equal to the provision for the previous quarter and $5.0 million greater than the $45.0 million provision for the 2008 fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2009, provisions for loan losses totaled $200.0 million compared to $69.0 million for 2008. Mr. Engelke noted, “The significant increase in the 2009 provisions recognizes the deterioration in the financial condition of many prime residential borrowers during the year, due to the severity of a prolonged job loss recession, weakness in the national housing market and a decline in real estate values, which resulted in higher loan delinquencies, credit costs and non-performing loans.”
Non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 totaled $23.3 million compared to $19.2 million for the comparable 2008 quarter. The $4.1 million increase is primarily due to security gains of $1.5 million and net mortgage banking income of $805,000 compared to a $2.2 million net mortgage banking loss in the 2008 fourth quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2009, non-interest income (excluding a $5.3 OTTI charge and a $1.6 million building write-down) totaled $86.7 million compared to $88.9 million (excluding a $77.7 million OTTI charge) for the comparable 2008 period. The $2.2 million decrease is primarily due to a $7.8 million decrease in bank owned life insurance income, a $4.6 million decrease in customer service fees and $2.3 million, net, in lower of cost or market write-downs on non-performing loans held-for-sale during 2009, partially offset by $7.4 million in securities gains and a $6.0 million increase in mortgage banking income, net.
General and administrative expense (“G&A”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 totaled $66.8 million compared to $63.2 million for the 2009 third quarter and $56.2 million for the 2008 fourth quarter. The linked quarter increase was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in ESOP expense, a $1.0 million increase in real estate owned related expense and a $702,000 increase in advertising expense. The fourth quarter year over year increase was due primarily to a $6.0 million increase in FDIC deposit insurance premiums and a $5.2 million increase in compensation and benefits expense, primarily due to increased pension expense.
For the year ended December 31, 2009, G&A totaled $270.1 million compared to $233.3 million. The $36.8 million increase was primarily due to an $8.5 million increase in compensation and benefits expense primarily due to increased pension expense partially offset by lower ESOP expense, a $22.1 million increase in regular FDIC deposit insurance premiums and a $9.9 million FDIC deposit insurance special assessment in the 2009 second quarter, partially offset by lower occupancy, equipment and systems expense and lower advertising expense.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets decreased $421.1 million and $1.7 billion for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2009, respectively, and totaled $20.3 billion. The decrease for the fourth quarter was due to a $189.1 million decrease in the loan portfolio and $293.7 million decrease in the securities portfolio. The full year decrease was due to decreases of $454.3 million in the one-to-four family loan portfolio, $426.9 million in the multi-family/commercial real estate (“CRE”) mortgage loan portfolios and $858.7 million in the securities portfolio. At December 31, 2009, the one-to-four family loan portfolio totaled $11.9 billion, the multi-family/CRE portfolio totaled $3.4 billion and the securities portfolio totaled $3.2 billion.
For the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2009, one-to-four family loan originations for portfolio totaled $916.4 million and $3.1 billion, respectively, compared to $422.7 million and $3.7 billion, respectively, for the comparable 2008 periods. One-to-four family loan prepayments for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 totaled $891.3 million and $3.1 billion, respectively, compared to $330.3 million and $2.6 billion, respectively, for the comparable 2008 periods. The loan-to-value ratio of the one-to-four family loan production for portfolio for the 2009 fourth quarter and full year averaged 61% and 58%, respectively, at origination and the individual loan amount averaged $700,000 and $715,000, respectively.
Deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 decreased $406.4 million from the previous quarter and $667.7 million from December 31, 2008, and totaled $12.8 billion at December 31, 2009. The decreases were due primarily to decreases in CDs. Commenting on deposit flows, Mr. Engelke noted, “During the fourth quarter and throughout the year, accelerated mortgage prepayment activity, which outpaced our loan production, influenced our decision to reduce higher cost CDs. Important to note, low-cost savings, money market and checking deposits increased $426.3 million, or 11.9%, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. Also important to note, total deposits are comprised of retail deposits and do not include any broker or municipal deposits.”
Borrowings for the quarter ended December 31, 2009 increased $40.1 million from the previous quarter and decreased $1.1 billion from December 31, 2008 to $5.9 billion.
Stockholders’ equity totaled $1.2 billion, or 5.97% of total assets at December 31, 2009. Astoria Federal continues to be designated as well-capitalized with core, tangible, risk-based and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of 6.89%, 6.89%, 12.99% and 11.72%, respectively, at December 31, 2009.
Asset Quality
Non-performing loans (“NPL”), including troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) of $57.2 million, totaled $408.6 million, or 2.02% of total assets, at December 31, 2009, essentially flat from the previous quarter. During the 2009 fourth quarter, $13.1 million of non-performing loans were either sold or classified as held-for-sale. At December 31, 2009, one-to-four family non-performing loans totaled $330.1 million and multi-family/CRE/construction non-performing loans totaled $73.7 million compared to $323.8 million and $80.8 million, respectively, at September 30, 2009. Important to note, of the $330.1 million of non-performing one-to-four family loans, $228.5 million, or 69%, represent residential loans which, at 180 days delinquent and annually thereafter, were reviewed and adjusted, as needed, to the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral at such time, less estimated selling costs. Commenting on asset quality, Mr. Engelke noted, “Although non-performing loans have increased from a year ago, they have stabilized on a linked quarter basis. In addition, although early stage loan delinquencies have increased slightly from the previous quarter, they are down from a year ago.”

Future Outlook
Commenting on the outlook for 2010, Mr. Engelke stated, “Despite high unemployment and a weak housing market, we continue to remain cautiously optimistic as the economy begins to show signs of improvement. We are encouraged by the stabilizing trends we are seeing in non-performing loans, which if sustained, will have a positive impact on future credit costs and earnings. In the near term, as a result of the U.S. government’s efforts to keep residential mortgage rates artificially low coupled with elevated conforming loan limits in many of the markets we operate in, loan prepayments will remain high and restrain loan and balance sheet growth. If and when these government programs subside, mortgage rates should return to normal market levels and we should resume loan and balance sheet growth at reasonable spreads. With respect to the net interest margin, we expect modest increases in the first half of 2010 as we continue to realize the benefit from significant CD repricing opportunities.”

Non-GAAP returns are calculated substituting non-GAAP net income for net income in the corresponding ratio calculation, while the non-GAAP general and administrative expense to average assets ratio substitutes non-GAAP general and administrative expense (non-GAAP non-interest expense) for general and administrative expense (non-interest expense) in the corresponding ratio calculation. Similarly, the non-GAAP efficiency ratio substitutes non-GAAP non-interest income and non-GAAP general and administrative expense for non-interest income and general and administrative expense in the corresponding ratio calculation.
| (1) | Adjustments relate to the other-than-temporary impairment write-down of securities charge recorded in the 2008 third quarter and subsequent tax adjustment recorded in the 2008 fourth quarter as a result of tax changes due to the enactment of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act in October 2008. |
| (2) | Non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP EPS are also referred to as operating income and operating EPS throughout this release. |
| (3) | Figures do not cross foot due to rounding. |
| (4) | Non-interest income adjustment relates to the $1.6 million lower of cost or market write-down of premises and equipment held-for-sale recorded in the 2009 second quarter and the $5.3 million other-than-temporary impairment write-down of securities charge recorded in the 2009 first quarter and non-interest expense adjustment relates to the federal deposit insurance special assessment recorded in the 2009 second quarter. |
