Provident New York Bancorp Announces

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2013 Earnings

2013 Performance Reflects Strong Loan Volume, Improved Efficiency and Positive Credit Quality Trends

MONTEBELLO, N.Y. – October 29, 2013 – Provident New York Bancorp (NYSE: PBNY), the parent company of Provident Bank, today announced fourth quarter and full year results for the period ended September 30, 2013. Net income for the quarter was $5.3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.06 per diluted share for the same quarter last year; and $6.4 million, or $0.15 per diluted share for the linked quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the year ended September 30, 2013 net income was $25.3 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to net income of $19.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

Net income for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 was impacted by merger-related expenses associated with the Sterling Bancorp transaction and a charge for asset write-downs which totaled $1.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively. Excluding the impact of these expenses, net income for the fourth quarter was $6.1 million, or $0.14 per diluted share; and net income for fiscal 2013 was $27.6 million, or $0.63 per diluted share. See the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures on page 12.

Results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2013 include an increase in interest expense due to the $100 million senior notes offering completed on July 2, 2013. The senior notes offering was completed in connection with the pending merger with Sterling Bancorp. Interest expense on the senior notes was $1.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter.

President’s Comments

Jack Kopnisky, President and CEO, commented: “We continued to successfully execute our strategy and deliver results in fiscal 2013. For the year, excluding the impact of merger-related expenses and a charge for asset write-downs, our net income reached $27.6 million and our diluted earnings per share were $0.63. These results represent growth in net income of 12.9% as compared to fiscal 2012. Year-over-year, net gains on sale of securities decreased by $2.9 million, net of tax, further demonstrating the positive momentum in our growth and profitability.

Our commercial banking teams continued to deliver results as demonstrated by our strong origination volumes. For fiscal 2013, our relationship teams generated $1.2 billion of new loan volume, which represents growth of 48.2% over fiscal 2012. Total outstanding loan balances grew by $293 million reaching $2.4 billion at September 30, 2013, which represents year-over-year growth of 13.8%. We continued to focus on growing our commercial loans; in fiscal 2013, our commercial and industrial and commercial real estate portfolios grew by $301.0 million, which represents growth of 21% over prior year balances.

Our core operating efficiency is improving as we continue to make progress towards achieving the long-term efficiency goals we have previously outlined. For the fiscal year 2013, our core total revenues grew by 11.5% while our core non-interest expense

grew by 2.0%. Our core operating efficiency ratio was 62.6% for the fiscal year 2013, which represents an improvement of 579 basis points relative to 2012.

Our credit quality has continued to show positive trends across all of our portfolios. Year-over-year, our non-performing loans decreased $12.9 million to $26.9 million and our criticized and classified loans decreased by $56.3 million to $74.8 million. Our credit quality ratios improved significantly during the year; our ratio of non-performing loans to total loans declined by 76 basis points to 1.12% and our allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans increased to 107.3%. The trends in the overall risk ratings of our commercial loan portfolio continued to improve.

Our capital and liquidity position remain strong. Our Tier 1 leverage ratio was approximately 9.33% at Provident Bank and our consolidated tangible equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.09%. We have ample capital and liquidity to support our growth and execute our strategy.

As we announced on October 21, we have received all required regulatory and shareholder approvals for our merger with Sterling Bancorp and anticipate we will complete the merger after the close of business on October 31, 2013. We will have completed the transaction in approximately six months from the announcement date, which is a significant accomplishment. We are ready to move forward in building a high performing combined institution that focuses on delivering superior service to commercial and consumer clients and accelerates the growth, profitability and execution of our strategy.”

Net Interest Income and Margin

Fourth quarter fiscal 2013 compared to the fourth quarter fiscal 2012

Net interest income was $28.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, up $2.9 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 due mainly to higher average loan volumes. Reflecting the current interest rate environment, the tax-equivalent yield on investments decreased nine basis points and yield on loans declined 27 basis points. As a result, the yield on interest-earning assets declined 12 basis points to 3.89% on a tax equivalent basis for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The cost of total deposits decreased 12 basis points to 15 basis points from the year ago quarter, mainly due to the maturity of higher priced certificates of deposit, which ran-off or re-priced to current market interest rates. The cost of borrowings decreased 77 basis points to 2.88%, as a higher portion of borrowings were overnight borrowings in the fourth quarter of 2013; however, total interest expense on borrowings increased by $1.7 million, mainly as a result of the the senior notes offering. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 3.23% compared to 3.38% for the same period a year ago.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2013 compared with linked quarter ended June 30, 2013

Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 declined $209 thousand to $28.1 million, compared to $28.3 million for the linked quarter ended June 30, 2013. The decline in net interest income for the fourth quarter was due to a $1.4 million increase in interest expense incurred in connection with the senior notes. Interest income on loans increased $1.1 million as a result of strong loan growth during the quarter. Interest expense on deposits continued to decline; inclusive of non-interest bearing deposits, cost of deposits on total deposits was 15 basis points, compared to 17 basis points for the third fiscal quarter of 2013. Yield on loans decreased 10 basis points to 4.70% reflecting current market conditions and a reduction of $273 thousand, or four basis points, in the accretion of the Gotham loan discount. The yield on interest-earning assets decreased eight basis points to 3.89% from 3.97% in the linked quarter. Tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.23% from 3.46% in the linked quarter.

Non-interest Income

Fourth quarter fiscal 2013 compared with fourth quarter fiscal 2012

Non-interest income declined $2.4 million to $6.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 driven by a decrease in net gain on sales of securities of $1.4 million and an aggregate decrease in investment management fees and title insurance fees of $364 thousand. In fiscal 2012 we decided to sell the assets of our former subsidiaries that were active in title insurance and investment management businesses.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2013 compared with linked quarter ended June 30, 2013

Non-interest income increased $19 thousand to $6.6 million for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 mainly due to an increase in deposit fees and service charges. Partially offsetting this increase was lower net gain on sales of securities, which declined $144 thousand. In addition, gain on sale of loans decreased by $132 thousand. During fiscal 2013 we invested in a new title insurance joint venture and deployed an investment management initiative which gained momentum during the year. As a result, aggregate title insurance and investment management fees increased $66 thousand on aggregate compared to the linked quarter results.

Non-interest Expense

Fourth quarter fiscal 2013 compared with fourth quarter fiscal 2012

Non-interest expense decreased $5.4 million to $23.4 million relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, principally the result of a decrease of $4.2 million in merger-related expenses and a decrease of $464 thousand in compensation and benefits. The merger-related expenses recorded in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 were incurred in connection with the acquisition of Gotham Bank.

Fourth quarter fiscal 2013 compared with the linked quarter ended June 30, 2013

Non-interest expense increased $1.6 million compared to the linked quarter to $23.4 million. Compensation and benefits increased $1.1 million due to several factors, which included an increase in the accrual for bonus compensation, an increase in temporary personnel and overtime expense associated with merger and non-merger related projects and a decrease in the amount of deferred loan origination costs, which are recognized as an adjustment to yield over the life of the loan. Other real estate owned expenses increased by $418 thousand due to write-downs to fair value upon receipt of updated property appraisals. In addition, other expense increased $672 thousand in the period due principally to a write-down of $228 thousand on two branch properties, a charge of $152 thousand to increase the reserve for off-balance sheet commitments and a $134 thousand write-down associated with the transfer of loan servicing to an outside vendor.

Income Taxes

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense at 38.3% compared to an estimated effective tax rate of 30.8% in the linked quarter and (14.1)% for the same period in fiscal 2012. The increase in the estimated effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was due to an increase in merger-related expenses incurred in fiscal 2013 that will be fully non-tax deductible. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 was 31.1%.

Credit Quality

Non-performing loans decreased $12.9 million to $26.9 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $39.8 million at September 30, 2012. During the fiscal year we exited several large credit relationships which contributed to the decline. Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter were $2.2 million compared to $3.1 million in the linked quarter. Non-performing loans at September 30, 2013 were $4.6 million lower than the prior quarter end. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013 was $28.9 million, which represented 107.3% of non-performing loans and 1.20% of our total loan portfolio. This compares to the linked quarter, in which the allowance for loan losses was $28.4 million, which represented 90.2% of non-performing loans and 1.21% of our total loan portfolio. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was related to the higher balance of loans outstanding at September 30, 2013. The allowance for loan losses to total loans, excluding loans acquired in the Gotham transaction that were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and continue to carry no allowance was 1.27% and 1.30%, at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Please refer to the Company’s reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure on page 10.

During the quarter, several properties were transferred to other real estate owned (“OREO”) which increased the balance by $1.6 million to $6.0 million. In addition, there were two branch properties that were formerly held as premises and equipment that were transferred to OREO as discussed above in non-interest expense.

Key Balance Sheet Changes Year-to-Date


▪	Total assets at September 30, 2013 were a record at $4.05 billion, increasing $26.2 million or 0.7% compared to September 30, 2012.


▪	Loans at September 30, 2013 increased $293.4 million or 13.8% on an annual basis compared to September 30, 2012.


▪	Commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans increased $301.0 million or 21.3% compared to September 30, 2012.


▪	Acquisition development and construction loans declined to $102.5 million at September 30, 2013 from $144.1 million at September 30, 2012.


▪	Securities, excluding FHLB Stock, at September 30, 2013 increased $55.1 million as compared to September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2013, securities represented 29.8% of total assets compared to 28.7% at September 30, 2012. The increase in securities was the result of investing the net proceeds raised in the senior notes offering.

▪

Deposits decreased $148.9 million between September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2013, mainly the result of a decrease in municipal deposits of $144.7 million compared to September 30, 2012. Non-municipal deposits were relatively unchanged between September 30, 2013 and 2012; however, non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand deposits increased $80.1 million, which represents year-over-year growth of approximately 10%.

Capital

Provident Bank remained well capitalized at September 30, 2013 with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.3% based on period end assets. The Company’s stockholders’ equity decreased $8.3 million from September 30, 2012, to $482.9 million at September 30, 2013. The decline in stockholders’ equity was the result of a net $26.5 million decline in the fair value of available for sale securities during the fiscal year. The two principal offsetting factors to this decline were net earnings less dividends declared of $13.3 million and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with benefit plans of $4.3 million. Dividends declared were $0.12 per common share for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013 and $0.30 per common share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. On September 26, 2013, due to the pending merger with Sterling, we declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per common share that would have been regularly declared and paid in in the calendar fourth quarter.

Tangible book value per share decreased by $0.18 to $7.08 at September 30, 2013 from $7.26 at September 30, 2012. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding increased to 43.7 million and 43.9 million, respectively, compared to 41.1 million, basic and diluted shares, for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The increase in basic and diluted shares is mainly the result of the issuance of 6.2 million shares of common stock in August 2012 in connection with the acquisition of Gotham Bank. These shares were outstanding for the entire fourth quarter ended September 30, 2013 and partially in the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
