SUN BANCORP, INC. LOGO NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Dan Chila, EVP, Chief Financial Officer (856) 691-7700 SUN BANCORP, INC. REPORTS EARNINGS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OUR MISSION IS UNCOMPROMISING... ...TO BE THE PREMIER COMMUNITY BANK IN EVERY COMMUNITY WE SERVE VINELAND, NJ, April 17, 2006 - Sun Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNBC) today reported net income of $4.2 million, or $.21 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006, compared to net income of $5.1 million, or $.26 per share, for the first quarter 2005. "The reported first quarter earnings per share is in line with our earnings expectation announcement of March 20, 2006," said Thomas A. Bracken, president and chief executive officer of Sun Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sun National Bank. "While the overall interest rate environment and the intense competition for both loans and deposits present challenges to our short-term operating results, we continue to be focused on our sound fundamentals and remain optimistic for our longer-term outlook." "We are experiencing very positive momentum in our new Advantage Bank markets of Somerset and Hunterdon counties, and organic loan growth throughout our entire market for the quarter, excluding the Advantage Bank acquisition and significant prepayments, was approximately 3.2%," Bracken added. "More importantly, our pipeline and credit quality remain strong. Our retail banking strategy that was implemented in late 2005 is progressing with an increasing growth in new customers. In addition, through our new mortgage subsidiary, Sun Home Loans, Inc., which went operational in early March, we will provide consumers with a full range of mortgage loans and services. As discussed in the March 20 press release, while net interest income and non-interest income are below original planned expectations for the quarter, we expect continued loan growth and fee income momentum while we continue to focus on expense efficiencies throughout the entire organization." --more-- Sun Bancorp, Inc. o 226 Landis Avenue o Vineland, NJ o 08360 (856) 691-7700 o www.sunnb.com o Member FDIC o Equal Housing Lender SUN BANCORP 1Q 2006 - PAGE TWO The following is an overview of the key financial highlights for the quarter: o Total assets of $3.284 billion at March 31, 2006, compared to $3.108 billion at December 31, 2005, and $3.051 billion at March 31, 2005. On January 19, 2006, the Company acquired assets of approximately $164 million and recorded purchase adjustments of approximately $21 million from the acquisition of Advantage Bank. o Total loans before allowance for loan losses were $2.215 billion at March 31, 2006, an increase of $307.0 million, or 16.1%, over total loans at March 31, 2005, and an increase of $164.4 million, or 8.0%, over December 31, 2005. Linked quarter loan growth normalized for Advantage Bank and significant prepayments approximated 3.2%. o Credit quality trends remain stable. Total non-performing assets of $13.0 million at March 31, 2006, or .59% of total loans and real estate owned, increased $1.4 million from $11.6 million at December 31, 2005, or .56% of total loans and real estate owned. This linked quarter increase was due to the Advantage Bank acquisition. Total non-performing assets decreased $2.2 million, or 14.4%, over the prior year comparable quarter. o Total deposits were $2.603 billion at March 31, 2006, an increase of $218.1 million, or 9.1%, over total deposits at March 31, 2005, and an increase of $131.4 million, or 5.3%, over December 31, 2005. On a linked quarter basis, deposit growth normalized for Advantage Bank was essentially flat. o Net interest income (tax-equivalent basis) for the first quarter of $24.6 million decreased $257,000 over the linked quarter. Net interest margin for the quarter of 3.40% decreased over the linked quarter margin of 3.54%. While average earning assets increased approximately $88 million, or 3.1% on a linked quarter basis, and the yield on earning assets improved 20 basis points quarter-to-quarter, the overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 37 basis points. The resultant compression in interest rate spread of 17 basis points reflects the impact of the continued market competitiveness for both loans and deposits and the flat yield curve. Additionally, as noted in the March 20, 2006 press release, as a result of this rate environment, the Company reduced its planned deposit growth and asset leverage strategy for the quarter. --more-- SUN BANCORP 1Q 2006 - PAGE THREE o Total operating non-interest income for the quarter of $4.4 million increased 8.1% over the comparable prior year period and is essentially flat on a linked quarter basis. o Total operating non-interest expenses for the quarter of $22.3 million increased $546,000, or 2.5%, over the linked quarter. The increase over the linked quarter represents primarily the incremental expenses of Advantage Bank. "We are not pleased with our results compared to first quarter 2005 and the linked quarter, but the rate environment and the marketplace can't be ignored. There are times when prudent business strategy is dictated by restraint and patience. This is one of those times. During this cycle we are committed to remaining competitive, adhering to sound fundamentals, maintaining our credit standards and managing expenses. Our goal is to build sustainable long-term value for our shareholders. We are controlling our growth in a measured way as we continue to build out our franchise in one of the most demographically attractive banking markets in the country," said Bracken.
