Analysis of Earnings – Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2019
Net income for the first nine months of 2019 was
$32.4 million, an increase of $885,000, or 2.8%, versus the same
period last year. The increase reflects decreases in the
provision for loan losses and noninterest expense of $268,000 and
$576,000, respectively, and the absence in 2019 of securities
losses which totaled $5.0 million in the 2018 period. The
impact of these items was partially offset by declines in net
interest income and noninterest income before securities losses of
$749,000 and $825,000, respectively, and an increase in income tax
expense of $3.3 million.
The decline in net interest income occurred
because of yield curve flattening followed by inversion and
management’s resulting decision to slow loan and overall balance
sheet growth. Flattening and inversion of the yield curve
also caused a 6 basis point decline in net interest margin.
The fluctuations in the yield curve occurred as increases in the
federal funds target rate during 2017 and 2018 were initially
accompanied by lesser increases in intermediate and long-term U.S.
treasury rates and then by declines in such rates. Despite
two 25 basis point declines in the federal funds target rate thus
far in 2019, five and ten year treasury rates still remain below
the federal funds target rate. The federal funds target rate
drives the Bank’s cost of deposits and short-term borrowings while
intermediate and long-term treasury rates drive the yields
available to the Bank on loan originations and repricings,
securities purchases and the reinvestment of cash flows.
When comparing the current nine-month period to
the same period last year, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities
increased by 35 basis points while the yield on interest-earning
assets only increased by 18 basis points. The increase in
yield on interest-earning assets includes an increase in loan
portfolio yield of 12 basis points which occurred largely because
of:
- Positive spread between the rates
on loans being originated and those paying down
- Shift in originations from lower
yielding residential mortgages to higher yielding commercial
mortgages
- Loans repricing at higher
yields
Also included in the increase in yield on
interest-earning assets is an improvement in yield on the
securities portfolio of 42 basis points largely resulting from
restructuring of the taxable securities portfolio in 2018.
Management’s decision to slow loan growth
resulted in modest growth of $70.7 million, or 2.2%, in the average
balance of loans outstanding when comparing the current nine-month
period to the same period last year and a reduction of $66.3
million in loans outstanding at September 30, 2019 as compared to
December 31, 2018. Growth in the average balance of loans was
funded by increases in the average balances of interest-bearing
deposits of $130.0 million, or 5.8%, and stockholders’ equity of
$20.5 million, or 5.5%, and a decrease in securities of $33.9
million, or 4.2%. These sources of funds were also used to
reduce the average balance of total borrowings by $116.0 million,
or 18.9%. Substantial contributors to the growth in deposits
were the Bank’s ongoing municipal deposit initiative and the
issuance of brokered certificates of deposit (“CDs”). The
average balance of brokered CDs increased $180.1 million as
brokered CDs were used during the period as a lower cost
alternative to Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. On
September 30, 2019, $100.0 million of matured brokered CDs were
replaced with short-term FHLB advances at a savings of
approximately 50 basis points. This maturity and replacement
had no impact on the average balance of brokered CDs for the period
because of the timing of its occurrence. Substantial
contributors to the growth in the average balance of stockholders’
equity were net income and the issuance of shares under the
Corporation’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan,
particularly during the first-half of 2018, partially offset by
cash dividends declared and common stock repurchases which began in
December 2018.
Management has been proactive in addressing the
downward pressure on net interest income, net interest margin and
earnings caused by the flat and inverted yield curve and the low
interest rate environment. Actions taken thus far include,
among others:
- Downward repricing of certain
interest-bearing deposits
- Hiring additional lenders to grow
commercial and industrial loans
- Reducing overall balance sheet
growth by slowing loan growth and the related need for funding
- Slowing the pace of branch
expansion
- Changing the mix of loans being
originated to higher yielding commercial mortgages from lower
yielding residential mortgages
- Restructuring the securities
portfolio
- Hedging a portion of short-term
borrowings with interest rate swaps
- Shifting between FHLB advances and
brokered CDs to reduce funding costs
- Maintaining tight control over
operating expenses
- Focusing on improving the level of
noninterest income
- Using excess capital to repurchase
common stock which improves EPS and ROE
A modest mortgage loan pipeline at quarter end
of $37 million should result in a further reduction in total loans
outstanding during the fourth quarter as loan runoff is expected to
exceed originations.
The most significant reason for the reduction in
the provision for loan losses of $268,000 versus the same period
last year was that loans declined by $66 million in the current
period versus increased by $271 million in the comparable period of
2018. The impact of this factor in reducing the provision was
largely offset by larger chargeoffs in the current period and an
improvement in economic conditions in the comparable 2018
period.
The decrease in noninterest income, before
securities losses, of $825,000, or 9.5%, is primarily attributable
to:
- A bank-owned life insurance
(“BOLI”) death benefit in the first nine months of 2018 of
$565,000
- Decline in the non-service cost
components of the Bank’s defined benefit pension plan of
$618,000
- Decline in Investment Management
Division (“IMD”) income of $163,000 mainly because of certain
trust-related fees earned in the 2018 period and lower assets under
management and held in a custodial capacity in the current
period
Partially offsetting these items was an increase
in service charges on deposit accounts of $376,000 primarily
related to higher overdraft and maintenance and activity
charges. Based on information currently known, management
believes that the level of noninterest income in the first nine
months of 2019 provides a reasonable basis for estimating the
amount that will be recognized for the full year.
Securities losses of $5.0 million ($3.5 million
after-tax) in 2018 resulted from a restructuring of the
available-for-sale securities portfolio which involved the sale of
$175 million of mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds and
reinvestment of the proceeds in higher yielding mortgage-backed
securities and corporate bonds.
Noninterest expense decreased $576,000, or 1.3%,
versus the same period last year primarily because of decreases in
salaries and employee benefits expense of $811,000, or 3.0%,
marketing expense of $601,000 and FDIC insurance expense of
$369,000, partially offset by an increase in technology and
professional services fees of $918,000. The decrease in
salaries and employee benefits includes a difference of $1.0
million related to special salary-related items recorded in the
2019 and 2018 periods and declines in incentive compensation
expense of $218,000 and placement and agency fees of $93,000,
partially offset by higher stock-based compensation and retirement
plan expenses of $538,000 and $184,000, respectively. The increase
in stock-based compensation expense is due to a higher level of
expense for new awards granted during the year as compared to the
prior year and the forfeiture of certain awards in 2018. The
decrease in marketing expense is due to fewer branch openings and
management’s focus on maintaining tight control over operating
costs. The decrease in FDIC insurance expense is mainly due
to a second quarter FDIC assessment credit received by the Bank
during the current quarter. The increase in technology and
professional services fees includes $600,000 of consulting fees for
a revenue enhancement project.
Management remains committed to maintaining
tight control over operating costs which should help to mitigate
the downward pressure on earnings arising from the current interest
rate environment. Based on information currently known,
management believes that the level of noninterest expense in the
first nine months of 2019 provides a reasonable basis for
estimating the amount of fourth quarter expense.
Income tax expense increased $3.3 million and
the effective tax rate increased from 9.3% to 16.9% when comparing
the first nine months of 2018 to the same period this year.
These increases are primarily attributable to a decline in the
current period of tax-exempt income from municipal securities and
BOLI and the recognition in the 2018 period of state and local net
operating loss carryforwards, higher excess tax benefits from
stock-based compensation and tax savings resulting from a cost
segregation study. The increase in income tax expense also
reflects higher pretax earnings in the current nine-month period as
compared to the same period of 2018. Management expects the
Corporation’s effective tax rate for 2019 to be approximately
17.0%.
Analysis of Earnings – Third Quarter 2019
Versus Third Quarter 2018
Net income for the third quarter of 2019 was
$10.8 million, representing an increase of $726,000, or 7.2%, over
$10.1 million earned in the same quarter of last year. The
increase is primarily attributable to a securities loss of $5.0
million in the third quarter of 2018. Partially offsetting
this item was a decline in net interest income of $397,000, or
1.6%, which occurred for the same reasons discussed with respect to
the nine-month periods and increases in the provision for loan
losses and income tax expense of $2.1 million and $1.7 million,
respectively. The increase in the provision for loan losses
was mainly due to improved economic conditions in the 2018
quarter. The increase in income tax expense largely occurred
for the same reasons discussed with respect to the nine-month
periods.
Although net interest margin declined by 6 basis
points when comparing the nine-month periods, third quarter 2019
net interest margin of 2.56% is relatively unchanged from 2.57% for
the same quarter last year.
During the third quarter of 2019, the federal
funds target rate was reduced twice, for a total of 50 basis
points, to its current level of 1.75% to 2.0%. In response,
management reduced the rates being paid on a portion of the Bank’s
interest-bearing deposit accounts and currently anticipates further
deposit rate reductions in the fourth quarter. Further
decreases in the federal funds target rate should relieve the
upward pressure on funding costs and may result in a decrease in
funding costs and improvements in net interest income and margin
over time.
Analysis of Earnings – Third Quarter
Versus Second Quarter 2019
Net income for the third quarter of 2019 was
relatively unchanged from the second quarter. Net interest
margin declined from 2.58% in the second quarter to 2.56% in the
third quarter. The decrease reflects lower prepayment
penalties and a decline in the yield on the securities portfolio,
partially offset by a 3 basis point improvement in loan portfolio
yield.
Asset Quality
The Bank’s allowance for loan losses to total
loans (reserve coverage ratio) declined 1 basis point from .94% at
year-end 2018 to .93% at September 30, 2019.
The provision for loan losses was $279,000 and
$547,000 in the first nine months of 2019 and 2018,
respectively. The provision in the current nine-month period
was driven mainly by net chargeoffs of $1.3 million partially
offset by a decline in outstanding loans. The provision in
the 2018 period was driven mainly by loan growth and net chargeoffs
partially offset by improved economic conditions and reductions in
historical losses.
The credit quality of the Bank’s loan and
securities portfolios remains strong. Nonaccrual loans,
troubled debt restructurings and loans past due 30 through 89 days
all remain at very low levels.
Capital
The Corporation’s Tier 1 leverage, Common Equity
Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Total risk-based capital
ratios were approximately 9.3%, 14.9%, 14.9% and 16.0%,
respectively, at September 30, 2019. The strength of the
Corporation’s balance sheet positions the Corporation to resume
growth in a measured and disciplined fashion when conditions
warrant.
The Corporation has a $50 million stock
repurchase program under which $33.0 million has been purchased to
date. Stock repurchases are currently being utilized by the
Corporation to prevent the buildup of excess capital and enhance
EPS and ROE.
Key Strategic Initiatives and Challenges
We Face
The Bank’s strategy remains focused on
increasing shareholder value through loan and deposit growth when
conditions warrant and the maintenance of strong credit quality, a
strong efficiency ratio and an optimal amount of capital.
We’ve adjusted overall balance sheet and loan growth, funding costs
and capital levels in response to market conditions to optimize
current results and best position the Bank for future increases in
profitability. We currently have 52 branches in Nassau and
Suffolk Counties, Long Island and the New York City boroughs of
Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan and will continue to open new
branches, albeit at a slower pace than in recent years. Only
one new branch was opened in 2019 and no further branch openings
are expected for the remainder of the year. Management is also
focused on growing noninterest income from existing and potential
new sources.
Notwithstanding the actions taken by management
to mitigate the impact on earnings of the current interest rate
environment, net interest income, net interest margin and the
Corporation’s profitability metrics remain under pressure.
These items could be negatively impacted by further yield curve
inversion, low yields available on new loans and securities and
relatively high funding costs. We remain focused on effective
balance sheet management and expense control and will not
meaningfully loosen underwriting standards to improve net interest
margin. Assuming no meaningful change in the yield curve and
the pressure on deposit and borrowing costs continue, management
believes that net interest margin for 2019 should not change
significantly from the amount recorded for the nine-month
period.
With respect to its lending activities, the Bank
will continue to prudently manage concentration and credit risk and
maintain its broker and correspondent relationships.
Commercial mortgage loans will be emphasized over residential
mortgage loans because of the better yield and shorter duration
that such mortgages generally provide. Small business credit
scored loans, along with the Bank’s traditional commercial and
industrial loan products, will be originated to diversify the
Bank’s loan portfolio and help mitigate the impact on net interest
margin of the current interest rate environment. Management
anticipates growing its commercial and industrial portfolio in a
measured and disciplined fashion over an extended period of
time.
In the current environment, banking regulators
are concerned about, among other things, growth, commercial real
estate concentrations, underwriting of commercial real estate and
commercial and industrial loans, capital levels, liquidity, cyber
security and predatory sales practices. Regulatory
requirements, the cost of compliance and vigilant supervisory
oversight are exerting downward pressure on revenues and upward
pressure on required capital levels and operating expenses.

(1) Tax-equivalent basis. Interest income on a
tax-equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest
income that would have been earned if the Corporation's investment
in tax-exempt loans and investment securities had been made in
loans and investment securities subject to federal income taxes
yielding the same after-tax income. The tax-equivalent amount of
$1.00 of nontaxable income was $1.27 for each period presented
using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.

(1) Tax-equivalent basis. Interest income on a
tax-equivalent basis includes the additional amount of interest
income that would have been earned if the Corporation's investment
in tax-exempt loans and investment securities had been made in
loans and investment securities subject to federal income taxes
yielding the same after-tax income. The tax-equivalent amount of
$1.00 of nontaxable income was $1.27 for each period presented
using the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%.
