WAYNE, N.J., Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Valley National
Bancorp (NYSE: VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank,
today reported net income for the third quarter of 2015 of
$36.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted common share as compared to net
income of $32.0 million, or
$0.14 per diluted common share, for
the second quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2014 earnings
of $27.7 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share.
Additionally, Valley reported that it prepaid $795 million of high cost borrowings in October
2015. See more details under the "Borrowings Strategy"
section below.
Key financial highlights for the third quarter:
- Non-Covered Loans: Total non-covered loans (i.e., loans
which are not subject to our loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC)
increased by $552.3 million, or 15.4
percent on an annualized basis, to $14.9
billion at September 30, 2015
from June 30, 2015 largely due to
increases of $298.0 million and
$174.0 million in residential
mortgage loans and total commercial real estate loans,
respectively. The increase in residential mortgage loans largely
related to the purchase of 1-4 family loans totaling $334 million during the third quarter of 2015.
The commercial real estate loan growth, totaling 9.6 percent on an
annualized basis, compared to the total balance at June 30, 2015, resulted from both organic growth
and purchased loan participations in multi-family loans in our
local market. Higher volumes within other consumer loans,
commercial and industrial loans, and automobile loans also
contributed to the third quarter growth, as total September 30, 2015 outstanding balances in these
categories increased by $34.2
million, $28.7 million, and
$21.7 million, respectively, or 38.6
percent, 4.8 percent, and 7.2 percent, on an annualized basis,
respectively, compared to June 30,
2015. During the third quarter of 2015, Valley sold
approximately $40.4 million of
fixed-rate residential mortgage loans originated for sale.
- Net Interest Income and Margin: Net interest income
decreased $2.2 million to
$134.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2015 as compared
to the second quarter of 2015, and increased $19.3 million as compared to the third quarter of
2014. On a tax equivalent basis, our net interest margin decreased
by 13 basis points to 3.09 percent for the third quarter of 2015 as
compared to the second quarter of 2015, and decreased 7 basis
points as compared to the third quarter of 2014. The decline in
both net interest income and margin for the third quarter of 2015
as compared to the linked second quarter was partially due to lower
periodic commercial loan fee income, as well as a decline in
interest income from certain purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loan
pools. See the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below for
more details.
- Asset Quality: Total accruing past due and non-accrual
loans as a percentage of our entire loan portfolio of $15.0 billion moderately increased to 0.59
percent at September 30, 2015 from
0.50 percent at June 30, 2015.
Non-performing assets (including non-accrual loans) increased by
5.1 percent to $76.5 million at
September 30, 2015 as compared to
$72.8 million at June 30, 2015. See further details under the
"Credit Quality" section below.
- Provision for Losses on Non-Covered Loans and Unfunded
Letters of Credit: During the third quarter of 2015, we
recorded a $94 thousand provision for
losses on non-covered loans and unfunded letters of credit as
compared to a $4.5 million provision
recorded for the second quarter of 2015 and a $423 thousand negative (credit) provision for the
third quarter of 2014. For the third quarter of 2015, we recognized
net recoveries on non-covered loan charge-offs totaling
$1.7 million as compared to net loan
charge-offs totaling $4.2 million and
$182 thousand for the second quarter
of 2015 and third quarter of 2014, respectively. See the "Credit
Quality" section below for more details on our provision and
allowance for credit losses.
- Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income moderately
increased $719 thousand to
$20.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2015 from
$20.2 million for the second quarter
of 2015 due, in part, to increased net gains recognized on the sale
of residential mortgage loans. See the "Non-Interest Income"
section below for additional information.
- Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense increased
$1.3 million to $108.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 from
$107.4 million for the second quarter
of 2015 partly due to valuation charges related to other real
estate owned. See the "Non-Interest Expense" section below for
additional information.
- Branch Efficiency and Cost Reduction Plans: In the
second quarter of 2015, we announced a plan to close and
consolidate 13 branch locations during the second half of 2015
based upon our continuous evaluation of customer delivery channel
preferences, branch usage patterns, and other factors. During the
third quarter, we closed 7 of the 13 branches, resulting in the
recognition of an immaterial amount of related non-cash branch
closing costs. The remaining six branches are expected to be closed
by December 31, 2015. Additionally,
we plan to enhance these "right sizing" efforts through the closure
of 15 more branches by the end of 2016. Valley estimates that the
28 branch closure plan will result in an annualized reduction of
approximately $10 million in ongoing
operating expenses, of which 45 percent should be realized by the
end of 2016. In addition to the branch closures, Valley intends to
implement a cost reduction plan aimed at achieving operational
efficiencies through streamlining various aspects of Valley's
business model, staff reductions and further utilization of
technological enhancements. These measures are expected to save
$5 million in pre-tax operating
expenses starting in 2016 and are expected to increase to
approximately $8 million in
2017.
- Capital Strength: Our regulatory capital ratios continue
to reflect Valley's strong capital position. Valley's total
risk-based capital, Tier 1 capital, leverage capital, and Tier 1
common capital ratios were 12.43 percent, 9.93 percent, 7.67
percent and 9.18 percent, respectively, at September 30, 2015.
Borrowing Strategy
As part of its funding and asset/liability management
strategies, Valley has been assessing the viability of the
prepayment of various levels of debt on its balance sheet,
including a portion of its relatively high cost borrowings (mostly
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New
York) totaling over $1.6
billion at September 30, 2015.
The $1.6 billion of borrowings, with
an average cost of 3.82 percent, start to contractually mature
during the fourth quarter of 2015 through the end of 2018. As
we move closer to such maturity dates, the cash charge (or the
"prepayment penalty") related to the early repayment of these
borrowings, while substantial, has declined and become a more
advantageous option to Valley in the current low interest rate
environment. As a result, Valley has elected to prepay
$795 million of these borrowings
during October 2015. The prepaid
borrowings have maturities in 2017 and an average cost of 3.78
percent. The settlement of such borrowings will result in the
recognition of a pre-tax prepayment penalty of $50.3 million ($32.7
million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2015. Funding
for the entire transaction will be obtained from new sources
consisting of both brokered money market deposits and securities
sold under agreements to repurchase (repos) totaling $800 million. The new fixed rate
instruments have a weighted average duration of approximately one
year and an average interest cost of 0.56 percent. The
shorter duration of the new borrowings is expected to cause only a
moderate shift in the overall interest sensitivity of our balance
sheet. In addition, approximately $182
million of borrowings with an average cost of 4.69 percent
will mature between March and April
2016. Moving forward, Valley will continue to evaluate all
of its remaining high cost borrowings maturing in 2016 and 2018
through 2022 for future opportunities, including potential
prepayments, to enhance its net interest income and margin.
Our ability to take action is dependent on the level of market
interest rates, our ability to obtain similar amounts of debt
instruments, as well as other factors. Although we can
provide no assurance as to the declaration of cash dividends by our
Board, we do not believe the prepayment penalty to be recognized in
the fourth quarter of 2015 will impact our ability to continue to
pay our normal quarterly common stock dividend at its current rate
of $0.11 per share.
Gerald H. Lipkin, Chairman,
President and CEO commented that, "Our third quarter of 2015
earnings were positively impacted by significant non-covered loan
growth which exceeded 15 percent on an annualized basis, as well as
the solid performance of our loan portfolio. Credit quality
of our balance sheet remained extremely healthy, as reflected by
our annualized net charge-offs to average loans totaling 0.02
percent through the first nine months of 2015. While the
continued loan growth has helped us mitigate a portion of the
continuing negative impact of the low interest rate environment on
our interest income, our borrowing strategy should largely reduce
our funding costs beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015 and
benefit our net interest income and margin into the foreseeable
future."
Mr. Lipkin added, "We remain extremely excited about our
upcoming acquisition of CNLBancshares, Inc.
(CNLBancshares) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, CNLBank,
headquartered in Orlando,
Florida. CNLBanchshares has approximately $1.4 billion in assets and will expand Valley's
Florida branch network to 36
offices, including new locations within desirable markets of
southwest and northeast Florida.
We have received all regulatory and shareholder approvals necessary
to complete the merger, and we expect to close the transaction in
December 2015."
Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaling
$135.9 million for the third quarter
of 2015 decreased $2.2 million from
the second quarter of 2015 and increased $19.3 million as compared to the third quarter of
2014, respectively. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis
decreased approximately $1.0 million to
$176.6 million for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to
the second quarter of 2015 largely due to a 20 basis point decrease
in the yield on average loans, partially offset by a $566.0 million increase in average loans and one
more day during the third quarter of 2015. The decline in
yield on average loans for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to
the linked second quarter was due, in part, to lower fee income
from derivative interest rate swaps executed with commercial
lending customers, as well as lower interest income from certain
closed (zero-balance) PCI loan pools. Interest expense
increased $1.2 million to
$40.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2015 as compared
to the second quarter of 2015. The increase in interest expense was
primarily driven by a $311.6 million
increase in average time deposits, a 7 basis point increase in the
cost of such time deposits and one more day during the third
quarter of 2015.
The net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.09
percent for the third quarter of 2015 decreased 13 basis points and
7 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2015 and the
third quarter of 2014, respectively. The yield on average interest
earning assets also decreased by 14 basis points on a linked
quarter basis. The lower yield was mainly a result of the
aforementioned decrease in the yield on average loans to 4.27
percent for the third quarter of 2015. This was largely caused by a
decline in periodic fee income from derivative interest rate swap
transactions with commercial loan customers, to facilitate the risk
management strategies of both Valley and the customers, and lower
income from certain closed PCI loan pools. Additionally, new
and refinanced loan volumes remain at relatively low interest rates
as compared to the overall yield of our loan portfolio. The
level of yields on new loans was negatively impacted by the low
market interest rates caused not only from the Fed's current
monetary policy, but also from intense competition in our markets
for quality borrowers. Our higher yielding PCI loan portfolio
also declined $93.7 million, or 6.0
percent from June 30, 2015 to approximately $1.5 billion at September 30, 2015 due to
normal repayment and prepayment activity. However, our yield
on average taxable investment securities increased by 17 basis
points during the third quarter of 2015 from 2.50 percent for the
second quarter of 2015 largely due to lower premium amortization
expense on certain mortgage-backed securities caused by a decline
in principal repayments. The overall cost of average interest
bearing liabilities increased by 1 basis point from 1.25 percent in
the linked second quarter of 2015 primarily due to the
aforementioned 7 basis point increase in the cost of average time
deposits and one more day during the third quarter. Our cost
of total deposits was 0.41 percent for the third quarter of 2015,
and increased 1 basis point as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2015.
Potential future loan growth from solid loan demand in our
primary markets that has continued into the early stages of the
fourth quarter of 2015 combined with our prepayment of $795 million in certain high cost borrowings are
both anticipated to positively impact our future net interest
income and margin. Additionally, we believe that the maturity
of our remaining high interest rate borrowings, primarily over the
next 36 months, should also mitigate some of the risk of future
margin compression. However, our margin will likely continue
to face downward pressure from the impact of low levels of interest
rates on loans and other interest earning assets combined
with the repayment of higher yielding interest earning assets.
Branch Efficiency Plan
In the second quarter of 2015, we disclosed a branch efficiency
plan to "right-size" our branch network. We, like many in the
banking industry, have experienced a significant decline in branch
foot traffic as the emergence of self-service technology continues
to reshape the banking industry. In response to these shifts in
customer preference we have invested in new delivery channels and
systems that will modernize the branch banking experience. Mobile
banking, remote deposit, interactive ATMs, online account opening,
video tellers, cash recyclers and enhanced online services are part
of our modernization plan and will redefine the traditional banking
experience at Valley.
As a result of our reviews and the evolution of banking in
general, our current plan includes the closure and consolidation of
13 branch locations during the second half of 2015 and an
additional 15 branches (at yet to be determined locations) by the
end of 2016. The 28 branches, representing approximately 12.5
percent of Valley's branch network at June
30, 2015, consist mostly of New
Jersey locations and are a mix of leased and owned
properties. During the third quarter, we closed 7 branches and we
expect the remaining 6 planned closures for 2015 to occur by
December 31, 2015.
Non-cash impairment charges and other branch closing costs
(mainly related to contract obligations) were immaterial during the
nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Valley estimates that the 28 branch closure plan will result in an
annualized reduction of approximately $10
million in ongoing operating expenses, of which 45 percent
should be realized by the end of 2016.
We will continue to evaluate the operational efficiency of our
entire branch network (consisting of 113 leased and 104 owned
office locations at September 30,
2015) to ensure the optimal performance of our retail
operations, in conjunction with several other factors, including
our customers' delivery channel preferences, branch usage patterns,
and the potential opportunity to move existing customer
relationships to another branch location without imposing a
negative impact on their banking experience.
Loans, Deposits and Other Borrowings
Non-Covered Loans.
Non-covered loans are loans not subject to loss-sharing agreements
with the FDIC. Non-covered loans increased $552.3 million, or 15.4 percent on an annualized
basis, to approximately $14.9 billion
at September 30, 2015 from June 30, 2015, net of a
$77.9 million decline in the
non-covered PCI loan portion of this portfolio primarily due to
normal loan repayments. The increase in total non-covered loans was
mainly due to purchased and organic origination volumes of 1-4
family and multi-family loans in the residential mortgage and
commercial real estate loan portfolios, respectively.
Total commercial and industrial loans increased $28.7 million, or 4.8 percent on an annualized
basis from June 30, 2015 to approximately $2.4 billion at September 30, 2015 largely
due to new loan demand from a mix of new and existing
customers within the New York and
New Jersey markets. While these
new loan volumes more than offset our normal repayment and
refinance activity (including a $12.9
million reduction in the non-covered PCI loan portion of the
portfolio), we continued to experience significant market
competition for quality credits during the third quarter, as well
as some normal seasonal declines in loan demand from our customer
base. Valley's commercial and industrial loans includes
approximately $159 million of
performing taxi medallion loans at September
30, 2015, mostly consisting of both PCI and non-PCI loans to
fleet owners of New York City
medallions. Valley's historical taxi medallion lending
criteria has been conservative in regards to capping the loan
amounts in relation to market valuations, as well as obtaining
personal guarantees whenever possible. While this portion of
the portfolio continues to perform well, Valley will continue to
closely monitor its performance and the potential impact of changes
in market valuations for taxi medallions.
Commercial real estate loans (excluding construction loans)
increased $189.9 million from
June 30, 2015 to $6.9 billion at
September 30, 2015. Loan origination volumes and demand
were seen across many segments of commercial real estate borrowers
in all of our markets, including Florida which accounted for approximately
$22.3 million of the third quarter
loan growth. The continued organic growth within the commercial
real estate portfolio was largely supplemented by our purchase of
participations in multi-family loans (mostly in New York City) totaling over $95 million during the third quarter of 2015 (as
compared to approximately $477
million and $97 million during
the second and first quarters of 2015, respectively). A
portion of the purchased loans within this portfolio during 2015
are expected to qualify for CRA purposes, and are seasoned loans
with expected shorter durations. Each of these purchased
participation loans were thoroughly examined by Valley under its
normal underwriting criteria to further satisfy ourselves as to
their credit quality. Construction loans decreased
$15.9 million, or 10.9 percent on an
annualized basis, from June 30, 2015 to $567.6 million at September 30, 2015
primarily due to normal completion of certain customer projects and
migration of such balances to permanent loan financing during the
third quarter of 2015.
Total residential mortgage loans increased $298.0 million to approximately $2.9 billion at September 30, 2015 from
June 30, 2015 mostly due to the purchase of 1-4 family loans
totaling $334 million during the
third quarter of 2015. The purchased loan volume, consisting
of a blend of fixed and adjustable interest rate loans, was
partially offset by a 36.5 percent decrease in Valley loan
originations as compared to the second quarter of 2015, as well as
a lower amount of loan originations retained for investment
purposes during the third quarter of 2015. Residential
mortgage loan originations totaled approximately $115.1 million for the third quarter of 2015 as
compared to $181.2 million and
$76.4 million for the second quarter
of 2015 and the third quarter of 2014, respectively. During the
third quarter of 2015, Valley sold approximately $40.4 million of fixed-rate residential mortgage
loans originated for sale.
Automobile loans increased by $21.7
million, or 7.2 percent on an annualized basis, to
$1.2 billion at September 30,
2015 as compared to June 30, 2015 as our new organic loan
volumes continued to be solid due to the overall strength of the
U.S. auto markets and continued positive production from our new
Florida auto dealer network which
contributed approximately $4 million
in new loans for the third quarter of 2015. Valley has
achieved its growth in the auto lending portfolio without
participation in the subprime auto lending markets.
Home equity loans totaling $474.7
million at September 30, 2015 moderately decreased by
$4.3 million as compared to
June 30, 2015. New home equity volumes continue to be
weak, despite the relatively favorable low interest rate
environment. However, other consumer loans increased
$34.2 million, or 38.6 percent on an
annualized basis, to $388.7 million
at September 30, 2015 as compared to $354.5 million at June 30, 2015 mainly due
to continued growth and customer usage of collateralized personal
lines of credit.
Covered Loans. PCI loans for which Valley National
Bank will share losses with the FDIC are referred to as "covered
loans". Our covered loans, consisting primarily of commercial
real estate loans and residential mortgage loans, decreased to
$129.5 million, or 0.9 percent of
total loans, at September 30, 2015 as compared to $145.2 million, or 1.0 percent of total loans, at
June 30, 2015. The linked quarter decrease was mainly
due to normal collection and prepayment activity.
Deposit Mix. Total deposits increased $168.8 million, or 1.2 percent, to approximately
$14.5 billion at September 30,
2015 from June 30, 2015 mostly due to growth in time deposit
balances resulting from continued retail certificate of deposit
promotions during the third quarter of 2015, offset by moderate
declines in both the non-interest bearing deposit and savings, NOW
and money market deposit categories of our balance sheet.
Non-interest bearing deposits; savings, NOW, money market deposits;
and time deposits represented approximately 30 percent, 48 percent
and 22 percent of total deposits as of September 30, 2015.
Time deposits represented two percent more of the composition of
deposits based upon the period end balances at September 30,
2015 as compared to June 30, 2015.
Other Borrowings. Long-term borrowings decreased
$95.8 million to $2.5 billion at September 30, 2015 as
compared to June 30, 2015 primarily due to the maturity of
Valley's $100 million of 5 percent
subordinated notes which were repaid in July 2015. Short-term
borrowings increased $176.8 million
to $302.9 million at
September 30, 2015 as compared to June 30, 2015 due to an
increase in customer deposit balances swept into overnight repo
accounts and $80 million in federal
funds purchased at September 30, 2015
compared to no federal funds purchased at June 30, 2015.
Credit Quality
Non-Performing Assets. Our past due loans and
non-accrual loans discussed further below exclude PCI loans. Under
U.S. GAAP, the PCI loans (acquired at a discount that is due, in
part, to credit quality) are accounted for on a pool basis and are
not subject to delinquency classification in the same manner as
loans originated by Valley. In November 2014, we acquired loans totaling
$1.2 billion, after purchase
accounting adjustments, from the acquisition of 1st United Bancorp,
Inc. (1st United). All of these loans are accounted for as
PCI loans and represent the majority of loans within the PCI loan
portfolio totaling $1.5 billion, or
9.8 percent of our total loan portfolio, at September 30,
2015.
Total non-performing assets (NPAs), consisting of non-accrual
loans, other real estate owned (OREO), other repossessed assets,
and non-accrual debt securities totaled $76.5 million at September 30, 2015 compared
to $72.8 million at June 30,
2015. The $3.7 million increase in
NPAs from June 30, 2015 was largely due to a $4.5 million increase in non-accrual loans,
partially offset by a decrease of $1.1
million in other repossessed assets.
Total accruing past due loans (i.e., loans past due 30 days or
more and still accruing interest) increased $10.8 million to $29.1
million, or 0.19 percent of total loans, at
September 30, 2015 as compared to $18.3
million, or 0.13 percent of total loans, at June 30,
2015. The increase was largely due to a $8.7 million increase in the loans past due 30 to
59 days category comprised of most loan types as compared to
June 30, 2015). However, commercial and industrial
loans, commercial real estate loans, and construction loans past
due 30 to 59 days included matured performing loans in the normal
process of renewal and one large loan that was repaid during
October 2015 which accounted for a
combined total of $7.3 million of the
$8.7 million increase in this past
due category. Although we believe our overall credit quality
metrics are strong and reflective of our solid underwriter
standards at September 30, 2015, we can provide no assurances
as to the future level of our loan delinquencies.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The following table
summarizes the allocation of the allowance for credit losses to
specific loan categories and the allocation as a percentage of each
loan category (including PCI loans) at September 30, 2015,
June 30, 2015, and September 30, 2014:

Our non-covered loan portfolio, totaling $14.9 billion at September 30, 2015, had net
recoveries of loan charge-offs of $1.7
million for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to net
loan charge-offs of $4.2 million and
$182 thousand for the second quarter
of 2015 and third quarter of 2014, respectively.
Additionally, gross loan charge-offs declined within all loan
categories during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the
second quarter of 2015. Overall, net non-covered loan
charge-offs totaled $2.2 million for
the nine months ended September 30,
2015 as compared to $9.7
million for the same period one year ago. During the
third quarter of 2015, we recorded a $94
thousand provision for losses on non-covered loans and
unfunded letters of credit as compared to $4.5 million provision for the second quarter of
2015 and a $423 thousand credit
(negative) provision for the third quarter of 2014.
The allowance for non-covered loans and unfunded letters of
credit as a percentage of total non-covered loans was 0.72 percent
at September 30, 2015 as compared to 0.73 percent and 0.86
percent at June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014,
respectively. At September 30, 2015, our allowance
allocations for losses as a percentage of total loans moderately
decreased within several loan categories as compared to
June 30, 2015 due, in part, to the lower level of net loan
charge-offs during the third quarter; mostly stable levels of
delinquent, impaired and internally classified loans; and our
somewhat improved outlook for economic conditions impacting our
portfolio at September 30, 2015. The allowance
allocation for losses within the commercial and industrial loan
category in the table above increased 0.22 percent to 2.06 percent
of total loans within the category at September 30, 2015 as compared to June 30, 2015 primarily due to our estimate of a
somewhat longer loss emergence period (i.e., the average expected
time necessary for an incurred loss to be realized in the
portfolio) based upon our most recent loss experience study
completed in the third quarter. The overall mix of these items,
loan growth, as well as other factors impacted our estimate of the
allowance for credit losses at September 30,
2015.
Our allowance for non-covered loans and unfunded letters of
credit as a percentage of total non-covered loans (excluding
non-covered PCI loans with carrying values totaling approximately
$1.3 billion) was 0.79 percent at
September 30, 2015 as compared to 0.81 percent at
June 30, 2015. Non-covered and covered PCI loans are
accounted for on a pool basis and initially recorded net of fair
valuation discounts related to credit which may be used to absorb
future losses on such loans before any allowance for loan losses is
recognized subsequent to acquisition. Due to the adequacy of
such discounts, there were no allowance reserves related to
non-covered PCI loans at September 30, 2015, June 30,
2015 and September 30, 2014. The allowance for covered
PCI loans is included in the table above.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income increased $719
thousand to $20.9 million for
the third quarter of 2015 from $20.2
million for the linked quarter ended June 30,
2015. Net gains on sales of loans increased $1.6 million to $2.0
million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the second
quarter of 2015 largely due to a higher volume of residential
mortgage loans originated for sale, as Valley elected to retain a
lower percentage of its direct loan originations. Net gains
on sales of assets declined $758
thousand to a net loss of $558
thousand during the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2015
mainly due to various asset disposals within our branch
network.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense increased approximately $1.3 million to $108.7 million for the third
quarter of 2015 as compared to $107.4
million for the second quarter of 2015 largely due to a
$1.1 million increase in net losses
on OREO within the other non-interest expense category related to
non-cash valuation charges on OREO properties held at September 30, 2015. Amortization of tax
credit investments increased $713
thousand to $5.2 million for
the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2015 due
to the valuation of our affordable housing and other tax credit
investments. Net occupancy and equipment expense declined by
$606 thousand to $21.5 million for the third quarter of 2015 as
compared to the second quarter of 2015 partly due to lower periodic
repair and maintenance expenses.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $10.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2015
reflecting an effective tax rate of 22.1 percent, as compared to
$12.5 million for the second quarter
of 2015 reflecting an effective tax rate of 28.1 percent and
$10.7 million for the third quarter
of 2014 reflecting an effective tax rate of 27.8 percent. The
decrease in the effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2015
was primarily related to an increase in tax credit investments
which generate general business credits.
For the fourth quarter of 2015, we anticipate that our
effective tax rate, exclusive of prepayment penalty charges, will
range from 25 percent to 27 percent primarily reflecting the
impacts of tax-exempt income, tax-advantaged investments and
general business credits.

meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Such statements are not historical facts and include
expressions about management's confidence and strategies and
management's expectations about new and existing programs and
products, acquisitions, relationships, opportunities, taxation,
technology, market conditions and economic expectations. These
statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as
"should," "expect," "believe," "view," "opportunity," "allow,"
"continues," "reflects," "typically," "usually," "anticipate," or
similar statements or variations of such terms. Such
forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties.
Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking
statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to:
- weakness or a decline in the U.S. economy, in particular in
New Jersey, the New York Metropolitan area (including
Long Island) and Florida;
- unexpected changes in market interest rates for interest
earning assets and/or interest bearing liabilities;
- less than expected cost savings from the prepayment or maturity
of long-term borrowings from 2015 to 2018;
- less than expected cost savings from Valley's Branch Efficiency
and Cost Reduction Plans in 2016 and 2017;
- claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility,
contractual issues, environmental laws and other matters;
- cyber attacks, computer viruses or other malware that may
breach the security of our websites or other systems to obtain
unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data,
disable or degrade service, or sabotage our systems;
- government intervention in the U.S. financial system and the
effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies
and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal
Reserve;
- our inability to pay dividends at current levels, or at all,
because of inadequate future earnings, regulatory restrictions or
limitations, and changes in the composition of qualifying
regulatory capital and minimum capital requirements (including
those resulting from the U.S. implementation of Basel III
requirements);
- higher than expected loan losses within one or more segments of
our loan portfolio;
- declines in value in our investment portfolio, including
additional other-than-temporary impairment charges on our
investment securities;
- unexpected significant declines in the loan portfolio due to
the lack of economic expansion, increased competition, large
prepayments or other factors;
- unanticipated credit deterioration in our loan portfolio;
- lower than expected cash flows from purchased credit-impaired
loans;
- unanticipated loan delinquencies, loss of collateral, decreased
service revenues, and other potential negative effects on our
business caused by severe weather or other external events;
- higher than expected tax rates, including increases resulting
from changes in tax laws, regulations and case law;
- a decline in real estate values within our market areas;
- higher than expected FDIC insurance assessments;
- the failure of other financial institutions with whom we have
trading, clearing, counterparty and other financial
relationships;
- lack of liquidity to fund our various cash obligations;
- unanticipated reduction in our deposit base;
- potential acquisitions that may disrupt our business;
- future goodwill impairment due to changes in our business,
changes in market conditions, or other factors;
- legislative and regulatory actions (including the impact of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and
related regulations) subject us to additional regulatory oversight
which may result in higher compliance costs and/or require us to
change our business model;
- changes in accounting policies or accounting standards;
- our inability to promptly adapt to technological changes;
- our internal controls and procedures may not be adequate to
prevent losses;
- failure to complete the merger of CNLBancshares with Valley in
the proposed timeframe;
- the inability to realize expected revenue synergies from the
proposed CNLBancshares merger or the recent 1st United merger in
the amounts or in the timeframe anticipated;
- costs or difficulties relating to CNLBancshares integration
matters might be greater than expected;
- inability to retain customers and employees, including those of
CNLBancshares and 1st United; and
- other unexpected material adverse changes in our operations or
earnings.
A detailed discussion of factors that could affect our results
is included in our SEC filings, including the "Risk Factors"
section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014.
We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to
conform the statement to actual results or changes in our
expectations. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or
achievements.

VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
(1)
|
Net interest income
and net interest margin are presented on a tax equivalent basis
using a 35 percent federal tax rate. Valley believes that
this presentation provides comparability of net interest income and
net interest margin arising from both taxable and tax-exempt
sources and is consistent with industry practice and SEC
rules.
|
(2)
|
This press
release contains certain supplemental financial information,
described in the Notes below, which has been determined by methods
other than U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")
that management uses in its analysis of Valley's performance.
Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide
information useful to investors in understanding Valley's financial
results. Specifically, Valley provides measures based on what it
believes are its operating earnings on a consistent basis and
excludes material non-core operating items which affect the GAAP
reporting of results of operations. Management utilizes these
measures for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Management
believes that Valley's presentation and discussion, together with
the accompanying reconciliations, provides a complete understanding
of factors and trends affecting Valley's business and allows
investors to view performance in a manner similar to management.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for
GAAP basis measures and results and Valley strongly encourages
investors to review its consolidated financial statements in their
a substitute for GAAP basis measures and results and Valley
strongly encourages investors to review its consolidated financial
statements in their entirety and not to rely on any single
financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are
not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial
measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having
the same or similar names.

VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA-CONTINUED
(3)
|
The efficiency ratio
measures Valley's total non-interest expense as a percentage of net
interest income plus total non-interest income. See the
"Non-Interest Expense" section to this press release for additional
information.
|
(4)
|
The 2015 ratios
reflect the new capital regulation changes required under the Basel
III regulatory capital reform.
|
(5)
|
There were no loan
charge-offs or recoveries related to covered loans during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2015. For the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2014, loan charge-offs and charged-off
loan recoveries included $433 thousand and $1.2 million,
respectively, related to covered loans.
|
(6)
|
Past due loans and
non-accrual loans exclude loans that were acquired as part of
FDIC-assisted transactions (covered loans) and, acquired or
purchased loans during 2012 and 2014. These loans are accounted for
on a pool basis under U.S. GAAP and are not subject to delinquency
classification in the same manner as loans originated by
Valley.
|
(7)
|
Excludes OREO
properties related to FDIC-assisted transactions totaling $5.4
million at both September 30, 2015 and June 30, 2015,
and $9.2 million and $6.2 million at December 31, 2014 and
September 30, 2014, respectively. These assets are covered by
the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC.
|
(8)
|
Includes
other-than-temporarily impaired trust preferred securities
classified as available for sale, which are presented at carrying
value (net of unrealized losses totaling $570 thousand, $630
thousand, $621 thousand and $625 thousand at September 30, 2015,
June 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014,
respectively) after recognition of all credit
impairments.
|
(9)
|
Represent acquired
and purchased loans meeting Valley's definition of non-performing
loan (i.e., non-accrual loans), but are not subject to such
classification under U.S. GAAP because the loans are accounted for
on a pooled basis and are excluded from the non-accrual loans in
the table above.
