LONG ISLAND BANCORP, INC. By: /s/ Mark Fuster Name: Mark Fuster Title: Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer) Date: April 27, 1998 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 SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS Melville, New York, April 28, 1998 - Long Island Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: LISB), the holding company for The Long Island Savings Bank, FSB today reported net income of $13.9 million or diluted earnings per share of $0.60 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, representing the eighth consecutive quarter of increased earnings (excluding one-time charges). Net income for the same period in 1997 was $12.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share. For the six months ended March 31, 1998, net income totaled $27.1 million, an increase of $3.0 million, or 12.8%, from $24.1 million earned in fiscal 1997. Diluted earnings per share for the six month period in 1998 and 1997 were $1.17 and $1.03, respectively. Basic earnings per share for the three and six month periods in 1998 were $0.63 and $1.22, respectively, compared with $0.54 and $1.06 for the same period in 1997. Commenting on the first quarter earnings, John J. Conefry, Jr., Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are proud to report record earnings and a strong financial performance. Earnings growth of 15.0% for the current quarter, supported by a managed decline in general and administrative expense, has resulted in the eighth consecutive quarter of improved earnings. Return on average assets and stockholders' equity ratios also improved substantially in the current quarter." Earnings Summary for the Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------- Net interest income increased by $0.3 million to $40.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $40.1 million in the same quarter of 1997. The increase in net interest income is attributable to the growth of the average real estate loan portfolio to $3.5 billion for the 1998 quarter from $3.3 billion for the 1997 quarter and the growth in average debt and equity securities to $358.2 million for the 1998 quarter from $211.5 million for the 1997 quarter. This growth was funded by a $242.4 million increase in average borrowed funds and an $82.6 million increase in average deposits. On a consecutive quarter basis the net interest margin increased to 2.73% for the 1998 quarter from 2.67% for the quarter ended December 31,1997 and reflects the Company's efforts to reduce deposit interest costs. In comparison to the March 31, 1997 quarter,the net interest margin declined from 2.90% primarily due to the higher funding costs related to borrowed funds and an 11 basis point decline in the average yield on real estate loans. The provision for possible loan losses remained constant at $1.5 million for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 as asset quality remained stable. Total non-interest income increased by $0.6 million, or 7.0%, to $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared with the same period in 1997. This increase is attributable to increases in net gains on asset sales of $1.8 million, an increase of $0.1 million in income from insurance and securities commissions and a decline of $0.3 million in net losses on investments in real estate and premises. These improvements were partially offset by decreases of $1.3 million in loan servicing fee income and $0.2 million in other income. The increased gains on asset sales is primarily due to a $0.5 million improvement in the Company's mortgage banking activities, greater profits of $1.3 million from the sale of MBS's and debt and equity securities. The decline in loan service fee income is due to a $1.8 million increase in the amortization of mortgage servicing rights as a result of increased mortgage refinancing activity. Partially offsetting the rise in amortization was greater fee income stemming from a net increase of $300.0 million in the mortgage servicing portfolio and the reversal of previous provisions for market fluctuations. Total G&A expense decreased by $1.4 million, or 5.4%, to $25.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared with the same period in fiscal 1997. This decrease represents the third consecutive quarter of declining G&A expense. Contributing to this decrease were reductions in compensation and benefit costs of $1.7 million, advertising expense of $0.5 million and office occupancy and equipment expense of $0.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in other G&A expense of $0.9 million. Compensation and benefit costs decreased due to greater net deferred costs resulting from increased loan production, the outsourcing of computer processing operations and the previous downsizing of loan production offices. Advertising costs have declined as a result of the deferral of marketing initiatives. Other G&A expense rose due to an increase in other professional services resulting from the outsourcing of computer processing operations and an increase in legal costs. Income tax expense increased to $8.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $8.2 million for the 1997 quarter, primarily reflecting higher pre-tax income partially offset by a 149 basis point decline in the effective tax rate as a result of tax planning initiatives that began in October 1997. Earnings Summary for the Six Months Ended March 31, 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income decreased by $1.0 million, or 1.3%, to $79.4 million during the six months ended March 31, 1998 compared with the same period in 1997. This decrease is attributable to a flat yield curve coupled with an increase in average borrowed funds. These factors contributed to a decline in the net interest margin to 2.70% in the 1998 period from 2.99% in the 1997 period. Total non-interest income increased by $2.1 million, or 11.7%, for the six months ended March 31, 1998 compared with the 1997 period. This increase is primarily due to increases in net gains on asset sales of $3.9 million, an increase of $0.3 million in income from insurance and securities commission and a decline of $0.4 million in net loss on investment in real estate and premises. These improvements were partially offset by decreases in loan servicing fees of $2.1 million and loan fees and service charges of $0.2 million. The increased gains on asset sales is primarily due to an improvement of $1.4 million in the Company's mortgage banking activities, greater profits of $2.5 million from the sale of MBS's and debt and equity securities. The decline in loan service fee income is due to additional mortgage servicing right amortization of $3.1 million, as a result of increased mortgage refinance activity, which was partially offset by the expansion of the mortgage servicing portfolio. Net loss on investment in real estate and premises declined to a loss of $0.7 million for the 1998 period from a loss of $1.1 million for the 1997 period primarily reflecting improvement in REO dispositions. Total G&A expense decreased by $3.0 million, or 5.6%, to $50.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 compared with the same period in fiscal 1997. Contributing to this decrease were reductions in compensation and benefits costs of $1.5 million for the reasons described earlier. Federal insurance premiums declined by $1.1 million as a result of the 1996 enactment of the BIF/SAIF legislation and advertising expense declined by $1.1 million as described above. The effect of these decreases were partially offset by the $0.8 million increase in other G & A expense resulting from an increase in other professional services due to the outsourcing of computer processing operations and an increase in legal costs. Income tax expense increased to $17.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 primarily reflecting higher pre-tax income partially offset by a 172 basis point decline in the effective tax rate as previously described. Balance Sheet Summary - --------------------- Total assets at March 31, 1998 were $6.3 billion, an increase of $365.1 million since September 30, 1997. The growth in assets is attributable to increases of $149.4 million in investment in debt and equity securities, $96.9 million in MBS's, $81.3 million in total net loans held for investment and sale, and $38.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Loan volume for the six months ended March 31, 1998 was $1.4 billion, of which $6.1 million represents bulk purchases of loans as compared with $1.4 billion and $193.7 million, respectively, for the six months ended March 31, 1997. Total liabilities at March 31, 1998 were $5.7 billion, an increase of $347.7 million since September 30, 1997. The increase in total liabilities primarily reflects an increase in borrowed funds of $286.2 million to $1.8 billion and an increase in deposit liabilities of $31.6 million to $3.8 billion at March 31, 1998. Stockholders' equity increased by $17.4 million to $563.7 million since September 30, 1997. The increase consists of earnings of $27.1 million and $3.0 million related to the Company's stock benefit plans. These increases were offset by a decline of $0.5 million in unrealized gains on securities classified as available-for-sale, net of tax, the net purchase of treasury stock of $5.6 million, and the declaration of $6.6 million in dividends. At March 31, 1998 book value per share amounted to $23.55.
