[LOGO] SUN BANCORP, INC. News Release For Immediate Release Contact: Dan Chila, EVP, Chief Financial Officer (856) 691-7700 Christine Irving (856) 690-4372 Sun Bancorp, Inc. Reports Earnings for Fourth Quarter and 2005 Net Income for 2005 Reaches Record $19.5 Million Our mission is uncompromising... ...to be the Premier Community Bank in every community we serve VINELAND, NJ, January 23, 2006 - Sun Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNBC) today reported net income of $4.6 million, or $.24 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared to net income of $4.7 million, or $.24 per share, for the fourth quarter 2004. Earnings per share data is adjusted for the 5% common stock dividend declared in March 2005 and paid on April 20, 2005. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2005, increased 10.8% to a record $19.5 million, or $1.01 per share, compared to $17.6 million, or $1.01 per share, for the prior year. Prior year net income was favorably impacted by one-time net income of $844,000 ($.05 per share) from facilities sold under the Company's branch rationalization program. Excluding this item, net income and earnings per share increased 16.3% and 5.5%, respectively. "Sun Bancorp finished 2005 with good momentum and record net income for the full year, highlighted by an increasing net interest margin and strong loan growth in the fourth quarter in both our commercial and retail portfolios," said Thomas A. Bracken, president and chief executive officer of Sun Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sun National Bank. "We are especially pleased with our 9.7% loan growth for the year despite a high level of loan prepayments approximating $120.0 million and the extremely competitive New Jersey marketplace. Our loan transaction pipeline going into 2006 continues to be strong." --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 4Q 2005 and Year End Results - page two "Credit quality trends continue to be positive, and again I reinforce that we will not compromise our underwriting standards in order to generate higher volume," said Bracken. "Pricing competition for both loans and deposits continues to be very aggressive in our market, and while our margin increased for the quarter, improving margin in 2006 is both a goal and challenge." Bracken added, "We successfully completed our merger with Advantage Bank on January 19 and look forward to the expanded business prospects in our two new markets of Hunterdon and Somerset counties." The following is an overview of the key financial highlights for the quarter: o Total assets of $3.102 billion at December 31, 2005, compared to $3.105 billion at September 30, 2005, and $3.054 billion at December 31, 2004. o Total loans before allowance for loan losses were $2.050 billion at December 31, 2005, an increase of $88.4 million, or 4.5%, over total loans at September 30, 2005, and an increase of $180.5 million, or 9.7%, over December 31, 2004. The linked quarter loan growth represented primarily an increase in commercial and industrial of $57.9 million, or 3.5%, and an increase in home equity portfolios of $26.5 million, or 14.5%. The growth in home equity was the result of a successful loan campaign in the quarter. o Credit quality trends continued to improve each quarter this year and remain stable. Total non-performing assets of $11.5 million at December 31, 2005, or .56% of total loans and real estate owned, decreased $5.7 million, or 33.2%, over December 31, 2004. On a linked quarter basis, total non-performing assets decreased $2.3 million, or 16.9%. o Total deposits were $2.472 billion at December 31, 2005, compared to $2.430 billion at December 31, 2004, and $2.508 at September 30, 2005. This is consistent with our overall balance sheet funding strategy linked to our relatively short-term investment portfolio. --more-- Sun Bancorp 4Q 2005 and Year End Results - page three o The investment portfolio at December 31, 2005, of $729.1 million decreased $74.3 million, or 9.2%, over the linked quarter and decreased $148.8 million, or 17.0%, over December 31, 2004. This investment portfolio remains well structured with a relatively short average life of 1.4 years. As has been our strategy, portfolio liquidity has continued to supplement deposit funding for loan growth. o Net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) for the fourth quarter of $24.8 million increased $172,000 over the linked quarter. Net interest margin for the quarter of 3.54% increased over the linked third quarter margin of 3.45%. Net interest margin for the year ended 2005 of 3.50% compares to 3.59% for 2004. o Total operating non-interest income for the quarter of $4.5 million increased 11.0% over the comparable prior year period and is 2.6% under the linked quarter. The increase over the prior year period continues to be attributable to Small Business Administration (SBA) lending and commercial loan derivative income initiatives instituted in 2005. Service charge income continues to be essentially flat as a result of increased earnings credit rates earned on analysis accounts. o Total operating non-interest expenses for the quarter of $21.7 million increased $274,000, or 1.3%, over the comparable prior year period. On a linked quarter basis, total operating non-interest expenses increased 2.6%. The increase over the linked quarter represents primarily the costs associated to the retail loan campaign of the fourth quarter. "Overall we are very pleased with our performance in 2005 given the difficult environment we faced. All of our fundamentals remain very sound and our focus on loan growth, liquidity, margin, expense control, non-interest income growth and net income improvement will remain strong in 2006. Our goal is to build sustainable long-term shareholder value. We are confident that 2006 will move us further along in accomplishing that goal," said Bracken. --more-- Sun Bancorp 4Q 2005 and Year End Results - page four Sun Bancorp, Inc. will host a conference call with analysts and investment professionals on Tuesday, January 24, 2006 at 11:30 a.m. ET.
