(NASDAQ: SNBC) today reported net income of $5.0 million ($0.26 per share) for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, up 11.1% over net income of $4.5 million ($0.24 per share) for the third quarter of 2004. Earnings per share data is adjusted for the 5% common stock dividend declared in March 2005 and paid on April 20, 2005. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the Company reported net income of $14.9 million ($0.77 per share), an increase of 15.5% over $12.9 million ($0.76 per share) in the prior period. Net income for the prior period includes one-time, after-tax net income of $950,000 ($0.06 per share) from the facilities sold under the Company's branch rationalization program. Excluding these items, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, increased 24.5% over the prior year period. "Net income growth during the third quarter and over the first nine months of 2005 was solid as we executed well on the fundamentals of sound banking in this highly competitive and fragmented New Jersey marketplace," said Thomas A. Bracken, president and chief executive officer of Sun Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sun National Bank. --more-- Sun Bancorp, Inc. o 226 Landis Avenue o Vineland, NJ o 08360 (856) 691-7700 o www.sunnb.com o Member FDIC Sun Bancorp 3Q 2005 Results - page two "On the loan side, our transaction pipeline continues to be strong, as we believe our cadre of seasoned lenders is giving us a competitive edge. We expect reported loan growth to be in the range of 6% to 7% for the full year. Our nine month loan growth of 4.9% reflects a high level of loan prepayments approximating $80 million. After adjusting for these prepayments, our underlying growth rate for new loans is actually 9.2%." "Loan quality trends continue to be positive, and we will not compromise our underwriting standards in order to generate higher loan volume," said Bracken. "Pricing competition for both loans and especially deposits remains very aggressive in our market and should continue to impact our net interest margin into the fourth quarter and 2006." "We are working closely with the management of Advantage Bank on our merger integration planning. Final closing of the previously announced transaction is targeted for early first quarter 2006," said Bracken. "We remain confident that the strategic acquisitions and restructuring initiatives we have put in place to date are creating permanent value throughout the organization. Our complex efforts over the past several years have been time consuming and will require ongoing patience. We see the institution as continually becoming better poised to produce consistent, sustainable profitability as the dominant banking force in central and southern New Jersey." The following is an overview of the key financial highlights for the quarter: o Total assets of $3.105 billion at September 30, 2005, remained level compared to June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004. o Total loans at September 30, 2005, were $1.962 billion, representing an increase of $200.1 million, or 11.4%, compared to September 30, 2004. --more-- Sun Bancorp 3Q 2005 Results - page three o Credit quality trends remain relatively stable. Allowance for loan losses was $22.3 million, or 1.14% of gross loans, at September 30, 2005, compared to $22.5 million, or 1.17%, at June 30, 2005, and $21.8 million, or 1.24%, at September 30, 2004. Total non-performing assets of $13.9 million at September 30, 2005, or 0.71% of total loans and real estate owned, compared to $13.9 million, or 0.79% at September 30, 2004. On a linked quarter basis, total non-performing assets decreased $342,000, or 2.4%. o Total deposits were $2.508 billion at September 30, 2005 and increased $78.2 million, or 3.2%, over September 30, 2004. On a linked quarter basis, total deposits were essentially flat. o The investment portfolio at September 30, 2005, of $803.4 million remains well structured with a relatively short average life of 1.5 years. This portfolio provides ample liquidity to meet future loan funding requirements. o Net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) for the quarter of $24.6 million increased $459,000, or 1.9%, over the prior year comparable quarter, and increased $348,000, or 1.4%, over the linked quarter. Net interest margin for the quarter of 3.45% compares to 3.61% for the comparable prior year quarter and 3.48% for the linked quarter. o Total operating non-interest income of $4.6 million increased $792,000, or 20.7%, over the comparable prior year period. On a linked quarter basis, the increase is $329,000, or 7.7%. These increases are primarily related to the new Small Business Administration (SBA) lending and commercial loan derivative fee income initiatives. Service charge income continues to be essentially flat as a result of increased earnings credit rates on analysis accounts. --more-- Sun Bancorp 3Q 2005 Results - page four o Total operating non-interest expenses for the quarter of $21.2 million increased $400,000, or 1.9%, over the comparable prior year period. On a linked quarter basis, total operating non-interest expenses decreased 1.0%. The consolidated efficiency ratio for the current quarter of 72.71% compares to the prior year quarter of 75.33%, and the linked quarter of 73.08%. "On balance, our performance for the quarter and the first nine months of 2005 was favorable, considering the unprecedented rates we are dealing with and that we are operating in the most competitive environment I have encountered in my 35 year career in this market. Our goal is to build sustainable long-term value for our shareholders. Our patience and restraint in the current environment will assist in accomplishing that goal," said Bracken.
