WOODBRIDGE, N.J., Jan. 28, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC. NFBK, the holding company for Northfield Bank, reported diluted earnings per common share of $0.11 and $0.41 for the quarter and year-ended December 31, 2014, respectively, compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.09 and $0.34 for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.
John W. Alexander, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased to report that our diluted earnings per share increased over 20% from the prior year. We benefited from significant loan growth resulting from a combination of strong originations, the purchase of a residential portfolio, and the retention of existing loans. The resulting loan growth helped us to manage our net interest margin for the year in an otherwise low and declining rate environment as we continued to shift our asset mix from lower yielding investments to loans. We continue to maintain strong liquidity and have made meaningful strides in capital deployment, reducing our overall capital to 19.7% at year-end from 26.5% at the beginning of the year."
"I also am pleased to announce," Mr. Alexander added, "the declaration of a $0.07 per common share dividend by the Board of Directors. This dividend will be payable February 25, 2015, to stockholders of record on February 11, 2015."
Financial Condition
Total assets increased $318.1 million, or 11.8%, to $3.02 billion at December 31, 2014, from $2.70 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in net loans held-for-investment of $453.3 million, cash and cash equivalents of $15.5 million, and FHLB stock of $11.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in securities available-for-sale of $165.8 million.
Total loans held-for-investment, net, increased $453.5 million to $1.94 billion at December 31, 2014, as compared to $1.49 billion at December 31, 2013.
Originated loans held-for-investment, net, totaled $1.63 billion at December 31, 2014, as compared to $1.35 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in multifamily real estate loans, which increased $201.2 million, or 23.1%, to $1.1 billion at December 31, 2014, from $871.0 million at December 31, 2013. The following table details our multifamily originations for the year ended December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Acquired loans increased by $187.9 million to $265.7 million at December 31, 2014, from $77.8 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to the purchase of $186.5 million of one-to-four family residential real estate loans during the third quarter of 2014.
Purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans, primarily acquired as part of a transaction with the FDIC, totaled $44.8 million at December 31, 2014, as compared to $59.5 million at December 31, 2013. The Company accreted interest income of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The Company's securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $771.2 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $937.1 million at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014, $699.8 million of the portfolio was residential mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. In addition, the Company held $70.0 million in corporate bonds, all of which were considered investment grade at December 31, 2014, and also held $410,000 of equity investments in money market mutual funds.
Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $61.7 million at December 31, 2014, as compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2013.
Total liabilities increased $440.3 million, or 22.2%, to $2.43 billion at December 31, 2014, from $1.99 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in borrowings of $286.1 million, deposits of $128.0 million, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $22.2 million.
Deposits increased $128.0 million to $1.62 billion at December 31, 2014, as compared to $1.49 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase was attributable to increases of $51.3 million in savings accounts, $45.2 million in certificates of deposit ($40.2 million of which were brokered deposits), $29.1 million in transaction accounts, and $2.3 million in money market accounts.
Borrowings, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, increased by $308.3 million, or 65.6%, to $778.7 million at December 31, 2014, from $470.3 million at December 31, 2013. Management utilizes borrowings to mitigate interest rate risk, for short-term liquidity to fund loan growth, and to a lesser extent as part of leverage strategies. The following is a table of term borrowing maturities (excluding capitalized leases and overnight borrowings) and the weighted average rate by year at December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
| Year | Amount | Weighted Average Rate |
| 2015 | $ 355,563 | 1.08% |
| 2016 | 108,910 | 2.18 |
| 2017 | 135,003 | 1.32 |

| 2019 | 33,502 | 1.88 |
| $ 775,693 | 1.42 |
Total stockholders' equity decreased by $122.2 million to $593.9 million at December 31, 2014, from $716.1 million at December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to stock repurchases of $138.7 million and dividend payments of $12.9 million, partially offset by net income of $20.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, and a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.9 million primarily as a result of the increase in fair value of our securities available-for-sale portfolio in response to the decrease in the interest rate environment from December 31, 2013.

Loans Subject to Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR) Agreements
Included in non-accruing loans are loans subject to TDR agreements totaling $9.5 million and $10.7 million at December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the entire $9.5 million in TDRs were not performing in accordance with their restructured terms, as compared to $7.5 million, or 70.4%, at December 31, 2013. Three separate relationships account for the loans not performing in accordance with their restructured terms at December 31, 2014, of which one relationship is made up of several loans totaling $7.2 million, primarily collateralized by real estate, with an aggregate appraised value of $9.5 million based on an appraisal performed within the last 18 months.
The Company also holds loans subject to restructuring agreements that are on accrual status, totaling $24.2 million and $26.2 million at December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014, loans totaling $1.6 million, or 6.6% of the $24.2 million were not performing in accordance with the restructured terms, as compared to $3.6 million, or 13.7% of the $26.2 million at December 31, 2013. These loans were less than 90 days delinquent at December 31, 2014.
Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Still Accruing and Other Real Estate Owned
Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing increased $676,000 to $708,000 at December 31, 2014, from $32,000 at December 31, 2013. The increase relates to several residential loans that are considered well secured and in the process of collection.
Other real estate owned was $752,000 and $634,000 at December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Accruing Loans 30 to 89 Days Delinquent
Loans 30 to 89 days delinquent and on accrual status totaled $12.3 million and $13.3 million at December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. The following table sets forth delinquencies for accruing loans by type and by amount at December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013 (dollars in thousands).
| December 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |

PCI Loans (Held-for-Investment)
At December 31, 2014, 7.8% of PCI loans were past due 30 to 89 days, and 24.1% were past due 90 days or more, as compared to 6.6% and 14.9%, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The increase in the percentage of delinquencies (30 to 89 days past due) resulted partially from PCI principal balances declining by $14.7 million to $44.8 million at December 31, 2014, from December 31, 2013.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
Net income was $4.9 million and $5.0 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Significant variances from the comparable prior year period are as follows: a $1.1 million increase in net interest income, a $359,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $558,000 decrease in non-interest income, a $1.0 million increase in non-interest expense, and an $83,000 decrease in income tax expense.
Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, increased $1.1 million, or 5.7%, primarily due to a $247.3 million, or 9.8%, increase in our average interest-earning assets, partially offset by an 11 basis point decrease in our net interest margin to 2.84%. The increase in average interest-earning assets was due primarily to an increase in average loans outstanding of $412.8 million partially offset by a decrease in average mortgage-backed securities of $163.6 million. The 2014 fourth quarter included loan prepayment income of $173,000, as compared to $290,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased seven basis points to 0.83% for the current quarter, as compared to 0.90% for the prior year period. Additionally, yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased 11 basis points to 3.46% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 3.57% for the comparable quarter in 2013.
The provision for loan losses decreased $359,000, or 86.3%, to $57,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, from $416,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in the provision for loan losses resulted primarily from continued improvements in asset quality indicators. Net charge-offs were $36,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $1.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Non-interest income decreased $558,000, or 21.3%, to $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, from $2.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $259,000 in gains on securities, net, and a decrease in other income of $377,000, primarily related to the sale in 2013 of vacant land adjacent to a branch, partially offset by a $134,000 increase in fees and service charges for customer services. Securities gains, net, in the fourth quarter of 2014 included losses of $138,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio whereas the fourth quarter of 2013 included gains of $267,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio. The trading portfolio is utilized to fund the Company's deferred compensation obligation to certain employees and directors participating in the Company's deferred compensation plan (the Plan). The participants of this Plan, at their election, defer a portion of their compensation. Gains and losses on trading securities have no effect on net income since participants benefit from, and bear the full risk of, changes in the trading securities market values. Therefore, the Company records an equal and offsetting amount in compensation expense, reflecting the change in the Company's obligations under the Plan.
Non-interest expense increased $1.0 million, or 7.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013. This is due primarily to a $754,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits, primarily related to higher health benefit costs and a $286,000 increase in other expenses, primarily related to higher advertising costs.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.9 million for both the quarters ended December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, was 36.9%, as compared to 37.2% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
Net income was $20.3 million and $19.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Significant variances from the prior year are as follows: an $827,000 increase in net interest income, a $1.3 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $1.7 million decrease in non-interest income, a $1.8 million decrease in non-interest expense, and a $1.1 million increase in income tax expense.
Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014, increased $827,000, or 1.1%, primarily due to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $23.9 million, or 0.9%. The increase in average interest-earning assets was due primarily to an increase in average loans outstanding of $289.0 million partially offset by decreases in average mortgage-backed securities of $217.7 million and other securities of $50.0 million. The year-ended December 31, 2014, included loan prepayment income of $1.2 million compared to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 12 basis points to 0.83% for the current year as compared to 0.95% for the prior year. Yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased six basis points to 3.57% for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 3.63% for 2013.
The provision for loan losses decreased $1.3 million, or 66.5%, to $645,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, from $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to the Company's PCI portfolio, which had a reversal of a previously recorded impairment, continued improvement in asset quality indicators, and to a lesser extent, originated loan growth of $280.3 million, or 20.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $286.0 million, or 26.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2013. Net charge-offs were $390,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Non-interest income decreased $1.7 million, or 16.7%, to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, from $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily a result of a $3.0 million decrease in gains on securities, net, and a $331,000 decrease in other non-interest income, primarily related to the sale in 2013 of vacant land adjacent to a branch, partially offset by increases of $295,000 in income on bank owned life insurance and $891,000 in fees and service charges for customer services. Additionally, there were no other than temporary impairment charges in 2014 as compared to $434,000 in 2013. Securities gains, net, in 2014 included losses of $155,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio described above, while 2013 included gains of $963,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio.
Non-interest expense decreased $1.8 million, or 3.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2014, from $53.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was due primarily to a $947,000 decrease in compensation and employee benefits, attributable to the combined effects of a benefit recorded on the settlement of a pension plan acquired in the Flatbush Federal Bancorp, Inc. and Flatbush Federal Savings & Loan Association merger (the Merger) and a decrease in the mark-to-market expense adjustment related to the Company's deferred compensation plan which is described above, partially offset by increased health benefit costs. Additionally, there were decreases of $621,000 in data processing costs due to conversion costs related to the Merger, and $427,000 in professional fees, also related primarily to the Merger. These decreases were partially offset by a $498,000 increase in other expenses, primarily related to higher costs in respect of one PCI loan, and excise taxes recorded related to the settlement of the Flatbush pension plan noted above.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $10.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014, was 36.9%, as compared to 35.9% for the year ended December 31, 2013, as a result of higher pre-tax earnings and the deferred tax asset write-down of $570,000 related to the New York State tax law change enacted in the first quarter of 2014.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014
Net income was $4.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, and $4.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Significant variances from the prior quarter are as follows: a $774,000 increase in net interest income, a $260,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $221,000 increase in non-interest income, a $745,000 increase in non-interest expense, and a $361,000 increase in income tax expense.
Net interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, increased $774,000, or 4.1%, due primarily to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $249.8 million, partially offset by a 16 basis point decrease in our net interest margin to 2.84%. The increase in average interest-earning assets was due primarily to increases in average loans outstanding of $272.9 million, FHLB stock of $9.9 million and deposits in financial institutions of $7.8 million, partially offset by a decrease in average mortgage-backed securities of $39.7 million and other securities of $1.1 million. The 2014 fourth quarter included loan prepayment income of $173,000 as compared to $295,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased two basis points to 0.83% for the current quarter, as compared to 0.81% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased 13 basis points to 3.46% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 3.59% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
The provision for loan losses decreased $260,000, or 82.0%, to $57,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, from $317,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in the provision for loan losses resulted primarily from continued improvements in asset quality indicators.
Non-interest income increased $221,000, or 12.0%, to $2.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. This increase was primarily the result of a $250,000 increase in gains on securities transactions, net. Securities gains, net, in the fourth quarter of 2014 included losses of $138,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio described above, while September 30, 2014, included losses of $262,000 related to the Company's trading portfolio.
Non-interest expense increased $745,000, or 5.6%, for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014. This was due primarily to an $830,000 increase in compensation and employee benefits, related to increased health care benefit costs and additional staff hired in the fourth quarter of 2014, and a $150,000 increase in professional fees partially offset by a $184,000 decrease in other expenses.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, was 36.9%, as compared to 34.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
