1 SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 FORM 8-K CURRENT REPORT Pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Date of Report (Date of earliest event reported): October 20, 1999 Dime Bancorp, Inc. (Exact Name of Registrant as Specified in its Charter) Delaware 001-13094 11-3197414 (State or Other Jurisdiction) (Commission (IRS Employer File Number) Identification No.) 589 Fifth Avenue New York, New York 10017 (Address of Principal Executive Offices) (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (212) 326-6170 Not applicable (Former Name or Former Address, if Changed Since Last Report) 2 Item 5. Other Events. On October 20, 1999, Dime Bancorp, Inc. issued the following earnings release: Contact: Dime Franklin L. Wright (212) 326-6170 October 20, 1999 99/15 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DIME BANCORP REPORTS RECORD QUARTERLY EARNINGS PACED BY 17% INCREASE IN NET INTEREST INCOME New York, NY -- October 20, 1999 -- Dime Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE:DME), parent company of The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB, today reported record quarterly net income of $61.8 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 1999, up from $59.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 1998. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $177.5 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, compared with $175.4 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, for the first nine months of 1998. Lawrence J. Toal, Dime's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Higher earnings from Dime's retail and commercial banking businesses enabled Dime to again report record results. In particular, we were pleased that the net interest margin expanded to 3.07%-- up 33 basis points since the third quarter of last year and 13 basis points from the 1999 second quarter. The improving net interest margin contributed to a 17% increase in net interest income, which rose to $149.2 million from $127.3 million in the 1998 third quarter." "Contributing to our strong performance were the effects of our acquisitions of Lakeview Financial Corp. in the 1999 second quarter and Citibank's auto finance business in early August. This combination of internal growth and revenues from acquisitions enabled Dime to report higher earnings, despite declining revenues from our mortgage banking operations as the higher interest rate environment slowed residential loan originations. The quarter was also marked by the announcement of our 'merger of equals' with Hudson United Bancorp," said Mr. Toal. -2- 3 OPERATING AND CASH OPERATING EARNINGS Operating earnings (reported earnings adjusted for the effects of certain non-recurring or unusual items) in the 1999 third quarter were $61.8 million, up 11% from $55.9 million in the 1998 third quarter and 2% from $60.8 million in the 1999 second quarter. There were no adjustments to reported earnings in either the 1999 third quarter or the 1999 second quarter. The calculation of operating earnings for the 1998 third quarter reflected a number of adjustments to reported earnings, including a gain on the sale of a branch, a loss from a sale of mortgage servicing rights, and an extraordinary loss on the early extinguishment of debt, as well as a higher effective tax rate. Cash operating earnings were $65.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the 1999 third quarter, compared with $58.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the 1998 third quarter and $64.2 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, in the 1999 second quarter. Cash operating earnings exclude the after-tax effect of goodwill amortization expense. NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN Net interest income rose 17% to $149.2 million in the 1999 third quarter from $127.3 million in the 1998 third quarter and up 7% from $139.9 million in the 1999 second quarter. The increase in net interest income in the 1999 third quarter, as compared with the prior periods, largely reflected an improvement in the net interest margin. The net interest margin in the 1999 third quarter was 3.07%, up 33 basis points from the third quarter of 1998 and 13 basis points from the 1999 second quarter. The wider margin in the 1999 third quarter, as compared with the prior periods, reflected the combination of the benefits of a steeper yield curve, an increase in the amount of higher-yielding loans, including those acquired in the auto finance business purchase as well as those associated with the continued growth of Dime's consumer, commercial real estate and business lending activities, and lower deposit costs. The cost of deposits was 3.51%, 3.96% and 3.52% for the third quarters of 1999 and 1998 and the second quarter of 1999, respectively. NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income in the 1999 third quarter totaled $133.9 million, down from $145.9 million in the 1998 third quarter and $152.5 million in the 1999 second quarter, primarily due to a lower level of mortgage banking activity. The 1998 third quarter included a $9.5 million gain on the sale of a branch and a $4.2 million loss on a bulk sale of mortgage servicing rights as part of Dime's risk management strategies. -more- -4- 4 - Loan servicing and production fees in the 1999 third quarter were $67.4 million, up from $53.8 million in the 1998 third quarter as higher levels of loan servicing fee income more than offset lower production fee income, but down from $69.7 million in the 1999 second quarter due to lower residential loan production and the effects of a second quarter bulk sale of mortgage servicing rights. - Banking service fees were $13.1 million in the 1999 third quarter, up 18% from $11.1 million in the 1998 third quarter and 4% from $12.6 million in the 1999 second quarter, with the improvements reflecting, in part, additional fee income associated with the Lakeview acquisition. - Securities and insurance brokerage fees were $8.9 million in the 1999 third quarter, as compared with $8.7 million in the 1998 third quarter and $10.1 million in the 1999 second quarter. - Net gains on sales activities for the 1999 third quarter were $42.1 million, down from $71.5 million in the 1998 third quarter and $57.7 million in the 1999 second quarter, largely due to reduced residential loan production. LOAN PRODUCTION AND LOANS RECEIVABLE Total loan production in the 1999 third quarter was $6.1 billion, compared with $7.5 billion in the year-earlier period and $7.3 billion in the 1999 second quarter, with the declines primarily due to a slowing of residential loan originations as higher interest rates reduced the level of refinance activity. Specifically: - Residential loan production was $5.0 billion in the 1999 third quarter, compared with $7.1 billion in the 1998 third quarter and $6.5 billion in the 1999 second quarter. At September 30, 1999, loans held for sale totaled $1.7 billion, down from $2.5 billion at June 30, 1999. At September 30, 1999, the pipeline of residential loan applications was approximately $5.5 billion, compared with approximately $6.7 billion at June 30, 1999. - Commercial real estate (including multifamily) loan originations totaled $342 million in the 1999 third quarter, compared with $205 million in the 1998 third quarter and $375 million in the 1999 second quarter. -more- -5- 5 - Consumer loan originations in the 1999 third quarter were $407 million, compared with $189 million in the 1998 third quarter and $290 million in the 1999 second quarter. Included in the 1999 third quarter production was approximately $88 million of consumer loans produced by the auto finance business acquired in August. Approximately two-thirds of the home equity loans closed in the 1999 third quarter were produced by Dime's national distribution network. - Business loan originations in the 1999 third quarter totaled $386 million, compared with $79 million in the 1998 third quarter and $90 million in the 1999 second quarter. At September 30, 1999, loans receivable totaled $14.3 billion, compared with $12.7 billion at the end of the 1999 second quarter, with the increase reflecting loans acquired in connection with the auto finance business purchase as well as growth in the commercial real estate, consumer and business loan portfolios. At September 30, 1999, commercial real estate, consumer, and business loans were 42% of loans receivable, compared with 36% at the end of the 1999 second quarter and 30% at year-end 1998. RESIDENTIAL LOAN SERVICING At September 30, 1999, Dime serviced $36.4 billion of residential loans for others, up from $32.5 billion at June 30, 1999 and $27.0 billion at year-end 1998. The weighted average coupon rate of loans serviced for others was 7.20% at September 30, 1999, compared with 7.17% at June 30, 1999, with the increase reflecting the generally higher interest rates on loans originated in recent quarters. The book value of mortgage servicing assets at September 30, 1999 was $938 million, including $64 million associated with hedges, while the estimated fair value was $986 million. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense for the 1999 third quarter was $178.3 million, compared with $171.2 million in the 1998 third quarter and $188.4 million in the 1999 second quarter. The decline in the 1999 third quarter, as compared with the 1999 second quarter, largely resulted from a $7.3 million reduction in the amortization of mortgage servicing assets, which primarily reflected a slowing of mortgage prepayments. -more- -6- 6 General and administrative expense in the third quarter of 1999 was $146.1 million, compared with $140.7 million in the 1998 third quarter and $149.7 million in the 1999 second quarter. As compared with the 1999 second quarter, the third quarter of 1999 included approximately $4 million of additional expenses related to the Lakeview and auto finance operations as well as severance and other expenses related to the continued downsizing of the mortgage banking operation in light of current market conditions. The efficiency ratio in the 1999 third quarter was 51.6%, improved slightly from 52.3% in the year-earlier period and virtually unchanged from 51.2% in the 1999 second quarter. ASSET QUALITY The allowance for loan losses was $137.1 million, or 194% of non-accrual loans, at September 30, 1999, up from $121.4 million and 179%, respectively, at June 30, 1999. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans receivable was 0.96% at September 30, 1999, compared with 0.95% at June 30, 1999. Non-performing assets (non-accrual loans and other real estate owned) were $91 million at September 30, 1999, as compared with $88 million at June 30, 1999, with the increase due in large part to assets acquired in the Lakeview and auto finance business acquisitions. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.40% at September 30, 1999, compared with 0.41% at June 30, 1999. Net charge-offs in the 1999 third quarter were $3.6 million, compared with $6.0 million in the 1998 third quarter and $3.5 million in the 1999 second quarter. The provision for loan losses in the 1999 third quarter was $7.0 million, compared with $8.0 million in the 1998 third quarter and $7.5 million in the 1999 second quarter. OTHER MATTERS Completed and Announced Transactions -- Effective August 1, 1999, Dime completed its purchase of Citibank's Long Island-based auto finance business, including its approximately $950 million portfolio of consumer and business loans. On October 18, 1999, Dime completed its purchase of all of KeyBank's 28 banking branches on Long Island, including approximately $1.3 billion of deposits and $500 million of business and consumer loans. 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 a bank holding company for DimeBank, a New Jersey state-chartered commercial bank. The merger, which is subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals, is planned to be completed in the first quarter of 2000. -more- -7- 7 Stock Repurchases -- During the 1999 third quarter, Dime repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of its common stock pursuant to a program announced in September 1998 authorizing the repurchase of up to 5.6 million shares. Including the 1999 third quarter repurchases, Dime has repurchased approximately 4.2 million shares pursuant to that program. At September 30, 1999, Dime had assets of $22.6 billion and deposits of $13.3 billion. Its principal subsidiary, The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB (www.dime.com), is a regional bank currently 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. # # # -8- 8 DIME BANCORP, INC.
