1 Exhibit 99.1 Contact: Dime William S. Burns (212) 326-6170 April 19, 2001 01/8 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DIME BANCORP REPORTS A 25% INCREASE IN QUARTERLY NET INCOME New York - April 19, 2001- Dime Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: DME) today reported net income of $81.5 million for the first quarter of 2001, up 24.9% from $65.3 million earned during the first quarter a year ago and up 14.1% versus $71.5 million earned in the sequential 2000 fourth quarter. Diluted earnings per share were $0.67 for the 2001 first quarter, up 13.6% from $0.59 earned in the first quarter a year ago and up 15.5% from $0.58 for the 2000 fourth quarter. Return on average assets was 1.28% for the 2001 first quarter, representing a 17 basis point increase over the same period a year ago, and return on average equity was 18.84%, 180 basis points higher than the 2000 first quarter. Net income, before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, for the 2001 first quarter was $92.0 million, or $0.76 per diluted share. The adoption of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," resulted in a one-time after-tax loss of $10.5 million associated primarily with the closing of certain hedge positions. Tony Terracciano, Chairman of Dime, said, "We continued to execute our plan for creating shareholder value. Our program to intensify communications with the investment community appears to be working -- the market is beginning to give Dime credit for its track record of profitability and consistency. Also, the three-year performance objectives recently announced indicate to investors that we believe there is more value to be created. Further, we expect our technology initiatives to allow us to expand our menu of products in a cost-effective manner. For example, our web-based trade finance product, TradeCard, is up and running and is now being sold to our business customers." Lawrence J. Toal, Dime's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our business model, which is focused on creating balanced and growing revenues while controlling expenses and managing risk, continues to drive results. Although a lower-growth economic environment in the first quarter temporarily slowed the pace of our ongoing transition to a more commercial bank-like loan mix, our mortgage banking business generated record quarterly production of $9.5 billion. Credit quality remains sound, with nonperforming assets declining by about 20% and reserve coverage of nonaccrual loans increasing considerably from the prior quarter. Our loan portfolio is performing well despite the stresses of the current economic 2 slowdown. Furthermore, we expect that recent declines in short-term interest rates will have a positive effect on net interest income going forward." NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN Net interest income increased to $158.4 million in the first quarter of 2001 from $154.7 million in the first quarter of 2000 and from $155.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2000. The increase versus the prior periods resulted largely from growth in interest earning assets offset partially by a decline in the net interest margin. The net interest margin for the 2001 first quarter was 2.78%, versus 2.96% in the 2000 first quarter and 2.81% in the 2000 fourth quarter. Dime's interest rate spread was 2.89%, 3.07%, and 2.90% in the first quarter of 2001, the first quarter of 2000, and the fourth quarter of 2000, respectively. The 2001 first quarter net interest margin and spread benefited, versus prior periods, from increased levels of non-residential loans and lower levels of securities. This benefit, however, was more than offset by a higher level of loans held for sale reflecting substantially higher residential mortgage loan production, the normal lag associated with time deposit re-pricing during a period of declining rates and strategic deposit pricing actions. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income in the 2001 first quarter totaled $213.0 million, up 59.9% from $133.2 million in the 2000 first quarter and 43.0% from $149.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2000. - Loan servicing and production fees were $82.2 million in the 2001 first quarter, up 22.9% from $66.8 million in the first quarter of 2000 and 9.2% from $75.3 million in the 2000 fourth quarter. The increases were primarily related to substantially higher residential loan production. - Banking service fees in the 2001 first quarter were $15.9 million, up 2.1% from $15.5 million in the 2000 first quarter but down 2.6% from $16.3 million in the 2000 fourth quarter. - Securities and insurance brokerage fees were $10.7 million for the 2001 first quarter, an increase of 1.7% from $10.5 million in the 2000 first quarter and up 21.5% from $8.8 million in the 2000 fourth quarter. - Net gains on sales and related activities were $100.5 million for the 2001 first quarter, up $63.8 million from $36.6 million in the 2000 first quarter and up $55.8 million from $44.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2000, reflecting higher residential loan originations resulting primarily from significantly higher levels of refinance activity and, to a lesser extent, higher levels of originations of loans for home purchases. In addition, net gains were positively affected by the implementation of SFAS No. 133. With the adoption of the new accounting rule, gains are recorded at the time value is created during the residential mortgage origination process. Under the prior guidelines, the value of loans originated for sale was recognized only upon actual sale. Approximately $29.5 million of net gains 3 recorded during the first quarter would have been recorded during the fourth quarter of 2000 had SFAS No. 133 been in effect at that time. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE General and administrative expenses were $142.9 million in the 2001 first quarter, higher than both $141.3 million in the 2000 first quarter and $140.0 million in the 2000 fourth quarter. The increase versus prior periods is due largely to higher expenses associated with increased residential loan production at Dime's mortgage banking subsidiary, North American Mortgage Company, substantially offset by the implementation of an expense reduction initiative announced in September 2000. Amortization and valuation adjustments of mortgage servicing assets and related hedging activities increased in the 2001 first quarter to $62.6 million from $29.2 million in the 2000 first quarter and $38.3 million in the 2000 fourth quarter. The increase in the current quarter versus prior periods was due in part to higher levels of mortgage servicing assets amortization resulting from increases in prepayment rates. In addition, included in the 2001 first quarter is a charge of $14.8 million against the value of mortgage servicing assets, net of related hedges, resulting from the sharp decline in interest rates during the first quarter of 2001. LOANS RECEIVABLE AND LOAN SERVICING At March 31, 2001, Dime's loans receivable portfolio totaled $16.3 billion, compared with $15.6 billion at March 31, 2000 and $16.3 billion at December 31, 2000. The increase from last year's first quarter was related to growth in the commercial real estate, consumer, and business loan portfolios. These non-residential loans represented 51.7% of total loans at March 31, 2001, up from 47.2% at March 31, 2000 and 51.4% at December 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001, Dime serviced $45.0 billion of loans for others, substantially all of which were residential real estate loans. This compares with $39.9 billion at March 31, 2000 and $44.1 billion at December 31, 2000. Excluding loans being subserviced, the weighted average note rate of residential loans serviced for others was 7.38% at March 31, 2001, compared with 7.27% at March 31, 2000 and 7.40% at December 31, 2000. The residential mortgage pipeline was $14.8 billion at March 31, 2001, compared with $6.2 billion at March 31, 2000 and $7.6 billion at December 31, 2000. ASSET QUALITY The allowance for loan losses was $147.2 million at March 31, 2001, representing 243.7% of nonaccrual loans. This coverage is considerably higher than 193.7% and 214.9% at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 2000, respectively. At March 31, 2001, nonperforming assets declined to $70.6 million, or just 0.26% of total assets, compared with $90.2 million, or 0.37% of total assets, at March 31, 2000 and $87.5 million, or 0.34% of total assets, at December 31, 2000. 4 Net charge-offs were $14.2 million in the 2001 first quarter, compared with $4.8 million in the 2000 first quarter and $9.3 million in the 2000 fourth quarter. Net charge-offs for the 2001 first quarter included a $9.0 million write-off of a single commercial loan. Net charge-offs in the fourth quarter of 2000 included a one-time $3.3 million charge due to a regulatory policy change that accelerated charge- offs on certain consumer and residential mortgage loans. The total provision for loan losses recorded during the 2001 first quarter was $17.0 million, an increase of $10.0 million from both the first and fourth quarters of 2000. This increase is consistent with management's recently announced performance objectives, which include the migration of the allowance for loans losses to a level that is commensurate with Dime's changing loan mix. STOCK REPURCHASES AND AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING During the quarter, 3.5 million common shares were repurchased pursuant to a plan commenced on October 24, 2000 to repurchase an aggregate of 13.6 million common shares. Since commencement of the program, 10.4 million shares have been repurchased at an average price of $26.37. Average diluted common shares for the quarter were 121.4 million. If the 13.6 million share repurchase program had been completed by January 1, 2001, average diluted shares would have been 116.1 million, and earnings per share would have been approximately $0.02 higher. 5 EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL Today, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, Lawrence J. Toal, Chief Executive Officer, and Anthony R. Burriesci, Chief Financial Officer, will host an investor conference call to review Dime's financial and operating performance for the period. The conference call is open to the public by calling 1-800-450-0786. A replay of the conference call will also be available beginning at 6:00 p.m. EDT on April 19 through 5:00 p.m. EDT on April 26 at 1-800-475-6701. The access code for the replay is 583023. At March 31, 2001, Dime had assets of $27.0 billion and deposits of $14.6 billion. Its principal subsidiary, The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB (www.dime.com), is a regional bank serving consumers and businesses 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 litigation, 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" and "cash operating earnings" basis information, when taken in conjunction with reported results, provide useful information in evaluating performance on a comparable basis, although operating earnings and cash operating earnings are not currently a required basis for reporting financial results under generally accepted accounting principles. # # # 6 DIME BANCORP, INC.
