WOODBRIDGE, N.J., April 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC. (Nasdaq:NFBK), the holding company for Northfield Bank, reported diluted earnings per common share of $0.11 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.10 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
John W. Alexander, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "I am pleased to report another solid quarter of performance with diluted earnings per share exceeding the same quarter of last year by 10%. Highlighting the quarter was strong loan origination activity in our multifamily portfolio that resulted in 3.2% overall loan growth, as compared to year end 2014. We ended the quarter with total loans of over $2.0 billion representing more than 65% of total assets. Loan growth continues to be an important driver of profitability and helps offset the downward pressures on the net interest margin, which is being affected adversely both by increased competition for quality loans and competition for new deposits."
Continuing, Mr. Alexander commented, "In addition, we continue to return value back to our shareholders through cash dividends and stock repurchases. During the quarter we repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of Northfield stock, and in April the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.07 per common share, a 16.7 % increase from the same quarter of last year."
Results of Operations
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
Net income was $5.0 million and $5.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, and March 31, 2014, respectively. Significant variances from the comparable prior year period are as follows: an $869,000 increase in net interest income, a $217,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $68,000 decrease in non-interest income, a $2.2 million increase in non-interest expense, and a $1.0 million decrease in income tax expense.
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, increased $869,000, or 4.5%, primarily due to a $341.5 million, or 13.7%, increase in our average interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 25 basis point decline in our net interest margin to 2.85%. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans outstanding of $468.7 million and an increase in interest-earning deposits in financial institutions of $40.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in average mortgage-backed securities of $167.8 million. The quarter ended March 31, 2015 included loan prepayment income of $562,000 as compared to $535,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Yields earned on interest-earning assets decreased 16 basis points to 3.53% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, from 3.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Net interest income for the March 2015 quarter was also impacted by an increase in interest expense, driven by a $433.3 million, or 25.0%, increase in our average interest-earning liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased four basis points to 0.89% for the current quarter as compared to 0.85% for the comparable prior year quarter, primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower rates on borrowed funds. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 19 basis points to 0.59% for the March 2015 quarter as compared to 0.40% for the March 2014 quarter, due to higher rates offered on our deposit products.
The provision for loan losses decreased $217,000, or 52.0%, to $200,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, from $417,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in the provision for loan losses resulted primarily from continued improvements in asset quality indicators as well as a general improvement in economic and business conditions. Net charge-offs were $594,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to net recoveries of $111,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The increased level of charge-offs primarily related to five previously impaired loans to one borrower that were restructured during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, after the borrower made a $500,000 principal payment. The loans had existing specific reserves associated with them which adequately covered the charge-offs, resulting in no material impact to the provision for loan losses for the current quarter. At March 31, 2015, the net loan balance of the restructured loan was $6.3 million, with a related specific reserve of $935,000, as compared to $7.2 million, with related specific reserves of $1.9 million, at December 31, 2014.
Non-interest income decreased $68,000, or 3.1%, to $2.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, from $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, due to decreases in fees and service charges for customers of $104,000, gains on securities transactions, net, of $63,000, and income on bank owned life insurance of $43,000, partially offset by an increase in other income of $142,000. The increase in other income in the March 2015 quarter was the result of a realized gain on sale of an other real estate owned property of $129,000.
Non-interest expense increased $2.2 million, or 18.5%, to $14.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, from $12.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This was primarily due to a $2.3 million increase in compensation and employee benefits, primarily attributable to increased health benefit costs and stock compensation expense related to the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, the March 2014 quarter was favorably impacted by a pre-tax gain of $937,000, related to the settlement of the former Flatbush Federal Savings & Loan Association pension plan.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, was 34.1% compared to 40.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The March 2014 quarter included a charge of $570,000 related to the write-down of deferred tax assets as a result of a New York State tax law change enacted on March 31, 2014.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014
Net income was $5.0 million and $4.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively. Significant variances from the prior quarter are as follows: a $240,000 increase in net interest income, a $143,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, a $43,000 increase in non-interest income, a $287,000 increase in non-interest expense, and a $271,000 decrease in income tax expense.
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, increased $240,000, or 1.2%, due primarily to an increase in average interest-earning assets of $78.9 million, or 2.9%, and a one basis point increase in our net interest margin to 2.85%. The increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans outstanding of $94.2 million and an increase in average interest-earning deposits in financial institutions of $30.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in average mortgage-backed securities of $40.5 million. The March 2015 quarter included loan prepayment income of $562,000 as compared to $173,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Yields earned on interest-earning assets increased seven basis points to 3.53% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, as compared to 3.46% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Net interest income for the March 2015 quarter was also impacted by an increase in interest expense, driven by an $88.5 million, or 4.3%, increase in our average interest-earning liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased six basis points to 0.89% for the current quarter, as compared to 0.83% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and higher rates on borrowed funds. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 11 basis points to 0.59% for the March 2015 quarter as compared to 0.48% for the December 2014 quarter, due to higher rates offered on our deposit products.
The provision for loan losses increased $143,000 to $200,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, from $57,000 for the quarter ended December 2014. The increase in the provision for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, was primarily the result of loan growth. Net charge-offs were $594,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to net charge-offs of $36,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The increased level of charge-offs primarily related to five previously impaired loans to one borrower that were restructured during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, after the borrower made a $500,000 principal payment. The loans had existing specific reserves associated with them which adequately covered the charge-offs, resulting in no material impact to the provision for loan losses for the current quarter. At March 31, 2015, the net loan balance of the restructured loan was $6.3 million, with a related specific reserve of $935,000, as compared to $7.2 million, with related specific reserves of $1.9 million, at December 31, 2014.
Non-interest income remained consistent at $2.1 million for both the quarters ended March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014.
Non-interest expense increased $287,000, or 2.0%, to $14.3 million, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, from $14.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to a $260,000 increase in occupancy costs, primarily related to snow removal costs, and a $158,000 increase in data processing costs, partially offset by a $127,000 decrease in professional fees.
The Company recorded income tax expense of $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, compared to $2.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, was 34.1%, as compared to 36.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Financial Condition
Total assets increased $29.6 million, or 1.0%, to $3.05 billion at March 31, 2015, from $3.02 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in loans held-for-investment, net, of $61.6 million and cash and cash equivalents of $16.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in securities available-for-sale of $42.6 million.
Loans held-for-investment, net, increased $61.6 million to $2.00 billion at March 31, 2015, as compared to $1.94 billion at December 31, 2014.
Originated loans held-for-investment, net, totaled $1.70 billion at March 31, 2015, as compared to $1.63 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in multifamily real estate loans of $70.8 million, or 6.6%.

Purchased credit-impaired (PCI) loans, primarily acquired as part of a transaction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, totaled $42.0 million at March 31, 2015, as compared to $44.8 million at December 31, 2014. The Company accreted interest income of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The Company's securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $728.7 million at March 31, 2015, compared to $771.2 million at December 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015, $667.2 million of the portfolio consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie Mae. In addition, the Company held $59.9 million in corporate bonds, all of which were considered investment grade at March 31, 2015, and also held $617,000 of equity investments in money market mutual funds.
Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $78.7 million at March 31, 2015, as compared to $61.7 million at December 31, 2014.
Total liabilities increased $40.9 million, or 1.7%, to $2.47 billion at March 31, 2015, from $2.43 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in deposits of $157.6 million, partially offset by decreases in securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $109.2 million and other borrowings of $9.4 million.
Deposits increased $157.6 million, or 9.7%, to $1.78 billion at March 31, 2015, as compared to $1.62 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase was attributable to increases of $79.5 million in certificates of deposit accounts ($62.8 million of which were brokered deposits), $60.8 million in savings accounts, $11.8 million in money market accounts and $5.5 million in transaction accounts.
Borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased by $118.6 million, or 15.2%, to $660.0 million at March 31, 2015, from $778.7 million at December 31, 2014. Management utilizes borrowings to mitigate interest rate risk, for short-term liquidity, 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 (dollars in thousands) at March 31, 2015:
| Year | Amount | Weighted Average Rate |
| 2015 | $213,863 | 1.19% |
| 2016 | 108,910 | 2.18% |

| 2020 | 20,000 | 1.58% |
| $653,993 | 1.53% | |
Total stockholders' equity decreased by $11.3 million to $582.6 million at March 31, 2015, from $593.9 million at December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily attributable to stock repurchases of $17.4 million and dividend payments of $3.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $5.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, a $2.8 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, 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, 2014, and a $1.5 million increase related to stock compensation activity.
