BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Boston Private Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BPFH) (the “Company” or “BPFH”) today reported third quarter 2011 GAAP Net Income Attributable to the Common Stockholders of $11.5 million, compared to GAAP Net Income Attributable to the Common Stockholders of $14.3 million in the second quarter of 2011. BPFH reported third quarter diluted earnings per share of $0.14 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.17 in the second quarter of 2011.

“In the third quarter we continued to see improvement in the overall health of our Company,” said CEO and President Clayton G. Deutsch. “These results show continued evidence that our program to return the Company to sustainable and acceptable profitability is unfolding as planned. Since my arrival last August, we asserted a restructuring plan that returned the Company to profitability in the second quarter of 2011, and our third quarter results show ongoing progress. We continue to focus on improving our credit quality, accumulating capital, and carefully managing growth, while reducing risk and improving the core performance of our Wealth Management and Private Banking businesses.”

“In a difficult environment, we witnessed loan growth across our commercial and residential lending businesses, relatively stable Net Interest Income and stable fee-based revenues,” said Mr. Deutsch. “We reduced Operating Expenses and closely managed credit which resulted in a year-over-year reduction in the Provision for Loan Losses. We continue to believe that our NIM defense is strong and that our Wealth Management and Private Banking model has the intrinsics to outperform core banking in a prolonged low interest rate environment.”

Diversified Revenue Stream Holds Steady

Net Interest Income in the third quarter was $45.1 million, down 2% from $46.0 million in the second quarter 2011 and down 3% from $46.4 million in the third quarter of 2010. Fees and Other Income decreased to $31.4 million, down 3% from $32.3 million in the second quarter of 2011 and up 15% from $27.3 million in the third quarter of 2010.

Total Assets Under Management/Advisory (“AUM”) decreased to $18.2 billion in the third quarter, down 10% from $20.2 billion in the second quarter 2011 and down 2% from $18.6 billion in the third quarter of 2010, primarily due to market declines. The Company experienced third quarter 2011 net AUM outflows of $223 million, as compared to $150 million of net outflows in the prior quarter and $2 million of net inflows in the third quarter of 2010.

Operating Expenses Decline

Operating Expenses (excluding restructuring costs of $1.1 million) in the third quarter were $55.4 million, down 5% from $58.2 million (excluding restructuring costs of $4.3 million) on a linked quarter basis. On a year-over-year basis, Operating Expenses were down 9% from $61.0 million.

“I'm heartened by the progress we've made in taking cost out of the Company and improving operating efficiencies overall,” said Mr. Deutsch. “However, we will not be satisfied until we meet our previously announced targeted reduction of $25 million in costs. Our Bank post-merger consolidations and conversions will roll through the fourth quarter of 2011, and the first and second quarters of 2012. We are on track with our consolidation plan and associated savings.”

Asset Quality Continues to Improve

Provision for Loan Losses in the third quarter was $4.5 million, up from a recovery of ($2.2) million in the second quarter and down 86% from $32.1 million year-over-year.

Non-Performing Loans (“NPLs”) declined for the second consecutive quarter. In the third quarter of 2011 NPLs were $73.4 million, down 8% from $79.9 million on a linked quarter basis and down 49% from $143.1 million year-over-year. As a percentage of Total Loans, NPLs were 1.64% in the third quarter of 2011, down 17 basis points from 1.81% in the second quarter of 2011.

Additional credit metrics are listed below on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis:

(In millions)	Sep 30, 2011	Jun 30, 2011	Sep 30, 2010
Total Criticized Loans	$355.4	$339.8	$397.4
Loans 30-89 Days Past Due	$20.9	$6.5	$16.9
Net Charge-Offs (Recoveries)	$4.5	($0.7)	$11.1
ALLL/Total Loans	2.20%	2.24%	2.21%

Capital Accumulation Continues

“Our Tangible Common Equity to Tangible Assets ratio increased 26 basis points to 7.14% on a linked quarter basis,” said David J. Kaye, Chief Financial Officer. “We remain comfortable with our capital position and will continue to be in capital accumulation mode in the near term.”

Additional capital ratios are listed below on a linked quarter and year-over-year basis:

	Sep 30, 2011	Jun 30, 2011	Sep 30, 2010
Total Risk-Based Capital*	15.47%	15.18%	14.92%
Tier I Risk-Based Capital*	12.54%	12.12%	13.58%
Tier I Leverage Capital*	8.43%	8.14%	9.70%
TCE/TA	7.14%	6.88%	6.80%
TCE/Risk Weighted Assets*	10.39%	10.22%	9.61%

*September 30, 2011 data is shown on a pro-forma basis.

“Our third quarter results speak to continued progress with our overall program to deliver acceptable returns,” said Mr. Deutsch. “Our third quarter annualized ROE of 8.6%, while a vast improvement, is still short of our declared goal of a consistent 12% ROE for our shareholders. We remain committed to attaining this threshold by 2013,” he concluded.

Dividend Payments

Concurrent with the release of the third quarter 2011 earnings, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a cash dividend to stockholders of $0.01 per share. The record date for this dividend is November 16, 2011, and the payment date is November 30, 2011.

(3	)	Adjustments to Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to the Company to arrive at Net Income/(Loss) Attributable to the Common Stockholders, as presented in these tables, include decrease/ (increase) in Noncontrolling Interests Redemption Value; Dividends on Preferred Securities; and Accretion of Discount on Series C Preferred Stock.

(4	)	When the Company has positive Net Income from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Common Stockholders, the Company adds additional shares to Basic Weighted Average Shares Outstanding to arrive at Diluted Weighted Average Shares Outstanding for the Diluted Earnings Per Share calculation to reflect the assumed exercise, conversion, or contingent issuance of dilutive securities. If the additional shares would result in anti-dilution they would be excluded from the Diluted Earning Per Share calculation. The potential dilutive shares relate to: unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock, unexercised stock warrants, contingently issuable shares, unconverted Convertible Preferred stock, and unconverted Convertible Trust Preferred securities.
		The amount of shares that were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were 1.7 million for both periods.
		The amount of shares that were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were 10.5 million, and 10.7 million respectively.
		The amount of shares that were anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were 1.7 million.
		See Part II. Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies"in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2010 for additional information.

(5	)	Interest Income on Non-taxable Investments and Loans are presented on an FTE basis using the federal statutory rate.

(6	)	Includes Loans Held for Sale and Non-accrual Loans.

(7	)	The concentration of the Private Banking loan data and credit quality is based on the location of the lender. Net loans from the Holding Company to certain principals of the Company's affiliate partners, loans at the Company's non-banking segments, and inter-company loan eliminations are identified as “Eliminations and other, net”.

(8	)	Accruing classified loans include loans that are classified as substandard but are still accruing interest income. The Bank may classify a loan as substandard where known information about possible credit problems of the related borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans as nonperforming at some time in the future.

(9	)	Includes the non-strategic loans held for sale of $2.9 million at September 30, 2010. There were no non-strategic loans held for sale at September 30, 2011 or June 30, 2011.
