FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DIME BANCORP, INC. REPORTS RECORD
QUARTERLY AND ANNUAL EARNINGS
Fourth Quarter 1999 Operating EPS of $0.56; Full Year 1999 Operating
EPS of $2.17
New York, NY -- January 20, 2000 -- Dime Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:DME), the
parent company of The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB, today reported net
income of $62.3 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of
1999, compared with $61.7 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the fourth
quarter of 1998. For the year 1999, Dime reported net income of $239.8 million,
or $2.13 per diluted share, compared with $237.1 million, or $2.06 per diluted
share, for the year 1998.
Lawrence J. Toal, Dime's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said,
"Despite the effects of rising interest rates, Dime generated record operating
results for the year, capped by our fourteenth consecutive quarter of higher
operating earnings. A combination of internal growth and strategic acquisitions
enabled us to continue to transform the balance sheet and become more commercial
bank-like. On the asset side, our consumer, commercial real estate and business
banking loan portfolios increased by more than $3 billion, or 83%, over the
course of the year. This growth, coupled with an 8% reduction in our residential
loan portfolio, resulted in these non-residential loans representing 46% of
loans outstanding at year-end 1999, up from 30% at year-end 1998. On the
liability side, core deposits grew by $778 million, or 11%, and at year-end 1999
they represented 54% of total deposits, up from 51% at the end of 1998."
"Our continued emphasis on fee-related sources of revenue resulted in
solid growth in fees from banking services, loan servicing, and securities and
insurance brokerage activities. That improvement, together with the improvement
in our net interest income, helped offset lower gains on sales from mortgage
banking and enabled Dime to maintain its earnings momentum," he continued.

Mr. Toal also commented, "While we continued our strategy of
transforming our balance sheet and income statement, asset quality continues to
be a primary focus. On a linked quarter basis, non-performing assets declined by
almost $5 million, and the ratio of the allowance for loans losses to
non-accrual loans improved to over 200% at year-end 1999."
"During the quarter, we also made substantial progress towards
completing our planned merger of equals with Hudson United Bancorp. We completed
the selection of the senior management team, developed a detailed action plan
regarding previously-identified cost saving opportunities, filed the necessary
applications with the regulators, and are aggressively developing the final
blueprint for Dime United's operations. Overall, we remain optimistic that we
will be able to close the transaction during the first quarter of 2000, and are
excited about the regional commercial bank franchise that we are creating, as
well as the cost savings and revenue opportunities it presents," concluded Mr.
Toal.
OPERATING AND CASH OPERATING EARNINGS
Operating earnings (reported earnings adjusted for the effects of
certain non-recurring or unusual items) were $62.3 million, or $0.56 per diluted
share, for the 1999 fourth quarter, which were the same as reported earnings.
Operating earnings in the 1998 fourth quarter were $57.1 million, or $0.51 per
diluted share, with the only adjustment to reported earnings being the
application of a 37% tax rate to pre-tax earnings versus 32% on a reported
basis. In the 1999 third quarter, operating earnings were $61.8 million, or
$0.55 per diluted share, which were also the same as reported earnings.
For the year ended December 31, 1999, operating earnings were $243.9
million, or $2.17 per diluted share, compared with 1998 operating earnings of
$217.1 million, or $1.89 per diluted share. Operating earnings in 1999 reflected
a first quarter adjustment to reported earnings for an extraordinary after-tax
loss of $4.1 million on the early extinguishment of debt. Operating earnings for
1998 included an adjustment for the early extinguishment of debt and adjustments
to after-tax income associated with sales of mortgage servicing, balance sheet
restructuring initiatives and the sale of a banking branch, as well as the
application of a 37% tax rate to pre-tax earnings versus 32% on a reported
basis. The lower effective tax rate in the 1998 periods was due to a
restructuring of the assets within the legal entities that comprise Dime's
affiliated group.
Cash operating earnings, which exclude the after-tax effect of goodwill
amortization, were $68.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, for the 1999
fourth quarter, compared with $60.0 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the
1998 fourth quarter, and $65.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the 1999
third quarter. Cash operating earnings for 1999 were $260.2 million, or $2.31
per diluted share, compared with $228.2 million, or $1.98 per diluted share, for
1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income was $153.9 million in the 1999 fourth quarter, up
16% from $133.2 million in the 1998 fourth quarter, and up 3% from $149.2
million in the 1999 third quarter. The
-3-
4
increase in net interest income in the 1999 fourth quarter, as compared with the
prior periods, largely reflected growth in interest-earning assets, principally
consumer, commercial real estate, and business loans. This included the benefits
of $500 million of business and consumer loans and $1.3 billion of lower cost
deposits acquired in connection with Dime's purchase of KeyBank's Long Island
banking franchise in October 1999. As compared with the fourth quarter of 1998,
net interest income was also positively impacted by a higher net interest
margin, which was 2.98% in the 1999 fourth quarter, compared with 2.78% in the
1998 fourth quarter. The nine basis point decline in the net interest margin in
the 1999 fourth quarter from 3.07% in the 1999 third quarter was largely
attributable to a higher cost of funds due to rising interest rates.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income in the 1999 fourth quarter totaled $132.6 million,
compared with $144.6 million in the 1998 fourth quarter and $133.9 million in
the 1999 third quarter, as rising interest rates slowed residential loan
production. In turn, this resulted in sharp reductions in net gains on sales,
which were only partially offset by higher levels of fee income.
- Loan servicing and production fees in the 1999 fourth quarter
were $68.5 million, up 13% from $60.6 million in the 1998
fourth quarter and up 2% from $67.4 million in the 1999 third
quarter.
- Banking service fees in the 1999 fourth quarter were $14.9
million, up 33% from $11.2 million in the year-earlier period
and up 14% from $13.1 million in the 1999 third quarter, with
the improvement primarily reflecting growth in fee-generating
accounts.
- Securities and insurance brokerage fees in the 1999 fourth
quarter were $9.1 million, up 21% from $7.6 million in the
1998 fourth quarter and up slightly from $8.9 million in the
1999 third quarter.
- Net gains on sales activities were $36.3 million in the 1999
fourth quarter, down 43% from $63.9 million in the 1998 fourth
quarter and down 14% from $42.1 million in the 1999 third
quarter as higher interest rates slowed residential lending,
particularly refinancing activity.
Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $568.2
million, compared with $525.0 million in the prior year, as increases in fee
income more than offset a reduction in net gains on sales of residential loans.
LOAN PRODUCTION AND LOANS RECEIVABLE
Total loan production for 1999 was $26.2 billion, compared with a
record $32.7 billion in 1998. In the 1999 fourth quarter, total loan production
was $5.2 billion, compared with $10.3 billion in the 1998 fourth quarter and
$6.1 billion in the 1999 third quarter. The declines were
-4-
5
primarily due to a substantial reduction in residential loan production, which
was partially offset by increased originations of non-residential loans.
Specifically:
- Residential loan production was $3.9 billion in the 1999
fourth quarter, compared with $9.6 billion in the 1998 fourth
quarter and $5.0 billion in the 1999 third quarter. For the
year ended December 31, 1999, residential loan production was
$22.4 billion, compared with 1998's record $30.5 billion.
- Commercial real estate (including multifamily) loan
originations totaled $426 million in the 1999 fourth quarter,
up 14% from $372 million in the 1998 fourth quarter and 24%
from $342 million in the 1999 third quarter. For the year
ended December 31, 1999, commercial real estate loan
originations totaled $1.4 billion, up 23% from $1.1 billion in
1998.
- Consumer loan originations were $362 million in the 1999
fourth quarter, up 82% from $199 million in the 1998 fourth
quarter, but down 11% from $407 million in the 1999 third
quarter. The increase in the 1999 fourth quarter as compared
to the 1998 fourth quarter reflected the leveraging of Dime's
mortgage banking subsidiary's national distribution network as
well as the loans produced by the auto finance business
acquired in the 1999 third quarter. The decline in
originations between the 1999 third and fourth quarters
reflected the effects of the higher interest rate environment
on auto and home equity lending. In the year ended December
31, 1999, consumer loan originations totaled $1.3 billion, up
73% from $0.7 billion in 1998, with the improvement reflecting
a combination of internal growth and acquisitions.
- Business loan originations totaled $558 million in the 1999
fourth quarter, up 283% from $146 million in the 1998 fourth
quarter and 45% from $386 million in the 1999 third quarter.
Business loan originations for the year 1999 totaled $1.1
billion, up 217% from $357 million in 1998, reflecting
internal growth and the acquisition of KeyBank's Long Island
banking franchise.
At December 31, 1999, loans receivable totaled $15.2 billion, up 19%
from $12.7 billion at the end of 1998. During 1999, commercial real estate loans
increased 36% to $3.5 billion, consumer loans grew 156% to $2.5 billion, and
business loans rose 258% to $1.0 billion. Combined, these non-residential loan
portfolios represented 46% of total loans receivable at year-end 1999, up from
30% at December 31, 1998. The increases reflected a combination of internal
growth and the benefits from acquisitions. Dime's residential loan portfolio
declined 8% from $8.9 billion at December 31, 1998 to $8.2 billion at the end of
1999, reflecting Dime's focus on growing its non-residential loan portfolio.
RESIDENTIAL LOAN SERVICING
-5-
6
At December 31, 1999, Dime serviced $37.1 billion of loans for others,
compared with $27.0 billion at year-end 1998 and $36.5 billion at September 30,
1999. The weighted average coupon rate of residential property loans serviced
for others was 7.25% at December 31, 1999, compared with 7.37% at the end of
1998 and 7.20% at September 30, 1999, with the increase in the 1999 fourth
quarter as compared with the third quarter reflecting rising interest rates. The
book value of mortgage servicing assets at December 31, 1999 was $981 million,
including $60 million associated with hedges, while the estimated fair value was
$1.03 billion.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense for the 1999 fourth quarter was $181.0 million,
compared with $179.1 million in the year-earlier period and $178.3 million in
the 1999 third quarter. The increase in the 1999 fourth quarter as compared to
the immediately preceding quarter reflected a higher level of goodwill
amortization following the KeyBank branch acquisition and a higher level of
amortization of mortgage servicing assets associated with a larger servicing
portfolio, which was not entirely offset by a reduction in general and
administrative expense.
General and administrative expense declined in the 1999 fourth quarter
to $144.1 million from $145.3 million in the 1998 fourth quarter and $146.1
million in the 1999 third quarter. The reduction largely related to the
continued down-sizing of mortgage banking operations, offset by approximately $8
million of expenses associated with the purchase of KeyBank's 28 Long Island
banking branches early in the fourth quarter and the full effect of the purchase
of Citibank's auto finance business in August. In addition, general and
administrative expense in both the fourth and third quarters of 1999 included
approximately $1 million in severance payments made in connection with
down-sizing the mortgage bank.
The efficiency ratio in the 1999 fourth quarter was 50.3%, improved
from 52.9% in the 1998 fourth quarter and 51.6% in the 1999 third quarter.
ASSET QUALITY
The allowance for loan losses was $140.3 million, or 202% of
non-accrual loans, at December 31, 1999, up from $105.1 million, or 191%, at
December 31, 1998, and $137.1 million, or 194%, at September 30, 1999. At
year-end 1999, the allowance for loan losses to loans receivable was 0.92%,
compared with 0.82% at year-end 1998 and 0.96% at the end of the 1999 third
quarter.
Non-performing assets (non-accrual loans and other real estate owned)
were $86 million at December 31, 1999, compared with $83 million at the end of
1998 and $91 million at September 30, 1999. The ratio of non-performing assets
to total assets was 0.36% at the end of 1999, compared with 0.37% at December
31, 1998 and 0.40% at September 30, 1999.

7
Net charge-offs in the 1999 fourth quarter were $5.8 million, compared
with $14.9 million in the 1998 fourth quarter and $3.6 million in the 1999 third
quarter. Charge-offs in the 1998 fourth quarter included $9.1 million in
connection with a sale of residential non-performing loans.
PENDING MERGER
On September 15, 1999, Dime announced a merger of equals with Hudson
United Bancorp (NYSE:HU). The combined company will be called Dime United
Bancorp, Inc., which will be the bank holding company for DimeBank, a New Jersey
state-chartered commercial bank. The merger, which remains subject to regulatory
and shareholder approvals, is planned to be completed in the first quarter of
2000.
At December 31, 1999, Dime had assets of $23.9 billion and deposits of
$14.3 billion. Its principal subsidiary, The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB
(www.dime.com), is a regional bank serving consumers and businesses through 127
branches located throughout the greater New York City metropolitan area.
Directly and through its mortgage banking subsidiary, North American Mortgage
Company (www.namc.com), Dime also provides consumer loans, insurance products
and mortgage banking services throughout the United States.
Certain statements in Dime's press releases may be forward-looking. A
variety of factors could cause Dime's actual results and experience to differ
materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in such
forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the
operations, performance, development, and results of Dime's business include
interest rate movements, competition from both financial and non-financial
institutions, changes in applicable laws and regulations, the timing and
occurrence (or non-occurrence) of transactions and events that may be subject to
circumstances beyond Dime's control and general economic conditions.
Dime believes that "operating earnings" basis information and "cash
operating earnings" basis information, when taken in conjunction with reported
results, provide useful information in evaluating performance on a comparable
basis, although neither operating earnings nor cash operating earnings is
currently a required basis for reporting financial results under generally
accepted accounting principles.
