LONG ISLAND BANCORP. NEWS RELEASE 201 Old Country Road Melville, New York 11747 Contact: Mary M. Feder Vice President, Investor Relations 516-547-2607 LONG ISLAND BANCORP, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR END EARNINGS Melville, New York, October 21, 1997 - Long Island Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: LISB), the holding company for The Long Island Savings Bank, FSB today reported net income of $49.4 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared with $32.3 million earned in 1996. Excluding the effect of a one-time SAIF insurance assessment and charge for retirement costs, 1996 net income would have been $44.3 million. On a per share basis, primary earnings per share amounted to $2.09 and $1.33 for the year ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Fully diluted earnings per share amounted to $2.08 and $1.33 for the year ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Excluding the effect of the one time charges, primary and fully diluted earnings per share for 1996 would have been $1.83. For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company reported net income of $12.9 million compared with a net loss of $1.9 million reported during the comparable 1996 quarter. Excluding the effect of the special charges, net income for the fourth quarter of 1996 would have been $10.1 million. Primary and fully diluted earnings (loss) per share amounted to $0.55 and $(0.08) for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Excluding the effect of the special charges, primary and fully diluted earnings per share for 1996 would have been $0.43. Commenting on the financial performance this quarter, John J. Conefry, Jr., Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer stated, "The Company is pleased to report record annual earnings and the fourth consecutive quarter of higher net income. The positive trend in earnings reflects the implementation of the Company's strategic objectives of controlling costs, delivering attractive loan and deposit products and continuing to retain a focus on the core customer base. During the quarter, the Company also began to implement our strategy of entering the small business and professional banking market, which will become an integral part of our operations over the next several years." Earnings Summary for the Year Ended September 30, 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------ The Company's net interest income increased by $5.2 million to $159.6 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 as compared with the year ended September 30, 1996. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to an increase of $1.0 billion in the average real estate loan portfolio to $3.3 billion during 1997. This growth was funded by a $644.5 million increase in average borrowed funds, a $70.1 million increase in average deposits and the redeployment of funds from MBSs which declined on average by $226.4 million. The combination of the incremental loan growth and redeployment of funds enabled the Company to continue to increase net interest income and overcome the impact of a 30 basis point decline in the average yield on real estate loans. The decline in the average yield on real estate loans, the flattening of the yield curve, and the inherent interest margin compression from leveraging caused a decline in the net interest margin to 2.91% for 1997 from 3.24% in 1996. The net interest margin and the sensitivity to interest rates is managed by the Company through the use of many techniques. One such technique employed during 1997 was the issuance of a five year fixed rate medium-term note in the amount of $300.0 million and the simultaneous execution of an interest rate swap agreement for a similar notional amount. The swap agreement converted the fixed rate interest obligation of 7% into a variable rate of LIBOR minus 3 basis points. The Bank has the ability to borrow up to a total of $1.0 billion under this note program. The provision for possible loan losses was reduced by $0.2 million to $6.0 million for the year ended September 30, 1997, from $6.2 million for 1996. This reduction reflects the stable level of non-performing loans which at September 30, 1997 was $47.1 million and the improvement in the ratio of non-performing loans to gross loans at September 30, 1997 to 1.28% down from 1.70% in 1996. The allowance for possible loan losses to non-performing loans increased to 71.97% at September 30, 1997, from 63.79% at September 30, 1996. Total non-interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 2.6%, to $37.7 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared with 1996. This decrease is attributable to declines of $0.8 million in total fees and other income and $3.2 million in gains on investment in real estate and premises. These decreases were offset by increased gains of $3.1 million on the sale of loans and MBSs reflecting management's investment and loan strategy of periodically recognizing profits during favorable market conditions. The decline in total fees and other income reflects a $1.8 million decrease in loan servicing fees due to the declining balance of home equity loans previously securitized. Offsetting the decline was an increase of $0.9 million in income from insurance and securities commissions resulting from the Company's efforts to provide a broad range of diversified financial products and services to its customers. Gains on investments in real estate and premises decreased by $3.2 million from the sale of investment properties that occurred in 1996 and the resultant decline in rental income. Total G&A expense declined by $2.7 million to $109.2 million for the year ended September 30, 1997 compared with 1996. This decline contributed to the improvement of 33 basis points in the operating expense to average asset ratio and to an improvement of 289 basis points in the efficiency ratio. The principal component of the decline in G&A expense was the reduction in federal insurance premiums of $4.8 million from the 1996 enactment of the BIF/SAIF legislation and a decline in advertising costs of $0.9 million, partially offset by increases of $2.1 million in other G&A expense and $1.1 million in office occupancy and equipment expense. Other G&A expense rose due to improved mortgage loan production volume during 1997 and the outsourcing of computer and check processing operations. This outsourcing permitted the Company to absorb normal salary growth and incremental commission costs without increasing its overall compensation expense. The increase in office occupancy and equipment expense reflects depreciation costs arising from technological investments in information and communication systems coupled with greater rental costs from the acquisitions of mortgage origination offices of Fleet Mortgage Company and First Home of Virginia, Inc. that occurred in June 1996 and August 1996, respectively. Income tax expense increased $8.5 million, to $32.2 million due to an increase of $25.6 million in pre-tax income, partially offset by the decline in the effective tax rate to 39.5% for the year ended September 30, 1997 from 42.4% for 1996. The decline in the effective tax rate principally reflects changes in the New York State and New York City tax bad debt regulations. Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended September 30, 1997 - --------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income increased by $0.4 million, or 1.0%, to $39.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared with the same period in 1996. The increase in net interest income is attributable to the growth of the average real estate loan portfolio to $3.5 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $2.9 billion for the same period in 1996. This growth was funded primarily by a $518.8 million increase in average borrowed funds, and a $88.0 million increase in average deposits. The net interest margin declined to 2.77% in the 1997 period from 3.09% in the 1996 period for the reasons mentioned in the discussion of earnings for the year ended September 30, 1997. Due to factors previously discussed, total fees and other income decreased $1.1 million resulting from the decline in loan servicing fee income of $1.5 million partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in income from insurance and securities commissions. Additionally, net gains on asset sales increased $1.2 million during the 1997 quarter due to higher MBS sales. Total G&A expense decreased by $4.8 million, or 15.2%, to $26.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared with the same period in 1996. Contributing to this decrease were reductions in compensation and benefits expense of $3.1 million, office occupancy and equipment costs of $0.7 million and federal insurance premiums of $1.5 million. Compensation expense decreased partially due to a $1.2 million reduction related to the Company's stock benefit plans and the one-time charge for retirement costs that occurred in 1996. Federal insurance premiums decreased due to the BIF/SAIF legislation mentioned above. The effect of these decreases was partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in other G&A expense stemming from incremental, volume-driven mortgage expenses. Income tax expense increased to $7.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as the result of an increase of $23.8 million in pre-tax income for the 1997 period as compared to the 1996 period. Balance Sheet Summary - --------------------- Total assets at September 30, 1997 were $5.9 billion, an increase of $567.0 million since September 30, 1996. The growth in assets is predominantly attributable to an increase of $543.0 million in total loans receivable held for investment and for sale. Loan volume for the year ended September 30, 1997 was $2.6 billion (of which $227.5 million represents bulk purchases of loans), an increase of $203.4 million over the 1996 period. The increase in total liabilities from a year ago primarily reflects an increase in borrowed funds of $523.4 million to $1.5 billion and an increase in deposit liabilities of $97.5 million to $3.7 billion at September 30, 1997. Stockholders' equity increased by $27.3 million to $546.4 million since September 30, 1996. The increase consists of earnings of $49.4 million, an increase in unrealized gains on securities classified as available-for-sale, net of tax, of $6.3 million and $6.3 million related to the Company's stock benefit plans. These increases were offset by the net purchase of treasury stock of $21.4 million and the declaration of $13.3 million in dividends. At September 30, 1997 book value per share amounted to $22.74. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation. Long Island Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for The Long Island Savings Bank, FSB.
