TOWNSHIP OF WASHINGTON, N.J., July 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oritani Financial Corp. (the "Company" or "Oritani") (Nasdaq:ORIT), the holding company for Oritani Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income of $10.0 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, and $41.1 million, or $0.96 per basic (and $0.94 diluted) common share, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014. This compares to net income of $11.7 million, or $0.28 per basic (and $0.27 diluted) common share for three months ended June 30, 2013 and net income of $39.5 million, or $0.94 per basic (and $0.92 diluted) common share for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2013.
The Company also reported that its Board of Directors has declared a $0.175 quarterly cash dividend on the Company's common stock. The record date for the dividend will be August 8, 2014 and the payment date will be August 22, 2014. Based on the recent trading range of the Company's common stock, the dividend yield on the regular dividend is approximately 4.50%.
"I am very pleased to report the close of another successful fiscal year for Oritani," said Kevin J. Lynch, the Company's Chairman, President and CEO. "The year was highlighted by strong profitability." Mr. Lynch continued, "In addition, we achieved many of our strategic objectives including double digit growth in loans, deposits and assets. Our credit quality continues to improve and we are poised to tackle the challenges of the coming year."
Comparison of Operating Results for the Periods Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
Net Income. Net income decreased $1.7 million to $10.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from $11.7 million for the corresponding 2013 quarter. Net income increased $1.5 million to $41.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, from $39.5 million for the corresponding 2013 period. The primary cause of the decreased net income in the quarterly period was the receipt of $1.5 million of nonrecurring bank-owned life insurance proceeds that were not subject to income taxes in the 2013 period. The primary cause of the increased net income in the twelve month period was decreased provision for loan losses partially offset by increased expenses.

The Company's primary strategic business focus is organic growth of multifamily and commercial real estate loans. The average balance of loans increased $203.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2014 versus the comparable 2013 period. On a linked quarter basis (June 30, 2014 versus March 31, 2014), the average balance of loans grew $50.2 million. The growth was primarily achieved through originations. Loan originations totaled $195.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. On a linked quarter basis, there is an inconsistency between the growth in the average balance of loans ($50.2 million) versus the growth in the period end balance ($115.3 million). This offsets a situation reported with the March 31, 2014 financial results that occurred due to the timing of originations and prepayments. The yield on the loan portfolio decreased 41 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 versus the comparable 2013 period. This decrease continued a trend of decreased yield on loans and was primarily due to the impact of current market rates on new originations as well as refinancings, prepayments and repricings. The market rates on new originations are below the average yield of the loan portfolio. A portion of the decrease in yield is also attributable to prepayment penalties, which significantly impacted both periods. Prepayment penalties totaled $885,000 in the 2014 period versus $1,025,000 in the 2013 period. Prepayment penalties boosted annualized loan yield by 14 basis points in the 2014 period and 18 basis points in the 2013 period.

The explanations for changes described above for the three month period are also applicable to the twelve month period. Prepayment penalties again significantly impacted both periods, but were higher in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 versus the comparable 2013 period. Prepayment penalties totaled $5.8 million in the 2014 period versus $5.1 million in the 2013 period, and boosted annualized loan yield by 25 basis points in the 2014 period versus 24 basis points in the 2013 period. Loan originations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 totaled $603.1 million versus $653.8 million for the 2013 period.
Total Interest Expense.
The components of interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, changed as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Increase / (decrease) | ||||||
| 2014 | 2013 | Average | |||||

| Total interest expense | $ 8,001 | 1.29% | $ 7,346 | 1.31% | $ 655 | $ 236,882 | -0.02% |
Management has also focused on increasing deposits and implemented various strategies with the aim of accomplishing this goal. These strategies have been successful to date, and management believes these trends can continue. However, such strategies may negatively impact future interest expense. As detailed above, the greatest achievement has been in growth of checking accounts, which realized growth in average balance of $121.5 million. Increases in time deposits have been realized recently. While the associated costs also increased, the Company has been able to extend the duration of the time deposit accounts. On a linked quarter basis (June 30, 2014 versus March 31, 2014), the average balance of deposits grew $44.8 million while the period end balance of deposits grew $50.3 million.
As previously reported, the Company committed to an additional deferred interest rate hedge in a notional amount of $25.0 million on April 10, 2014. The Company now has $100.0 million of its short term liability position protected through interest rate hedges.

Net Interest Income Before Provision for Loan Losses. Net interest income decreased $117,000 to $23.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $23.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Net interest income decreased $307,000 to $97.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, from $97.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The Company's net interest income, spread and margin over the period are detailed in the table below.

| Net Interest | Net Interest | |||||
| Income Before | Income Before | |||||
| Quarter Ended | Provision | Spread | Margin | Provision | Spread | Margin |

| March 31, 2014 | 24,462 | 3.28% | 3.48% | 23,258 | 3.11% | 3.31% |
| December 31, 2013 | 24,312 | 3.38% | 3.60% | 22,418 | 3.10% | 3.32% |
| September 30, 2013 | 24,593 | 3.45% | 3.67% | 22,801 | 3.18% | 3.41% |
| June 30, 2013 | 23,873 | 3.37% | 3.58% | 22,848 | 3.22% | 3.43% |
The Company's spread and margin have been significantly impacted by prepayment penalties. Due to this situation, the chart above details results with and without the impact of prepayment penalties. When viewed over the trailing year, both measurements essentially detail spread and margin erosion of nearly 30 basis points. The Company's spread and margin are under pressure in the current interest rate environment due to several factors, including: rates on new loan originations and investment purchases; modifications of loans within the existing loan portfolio; prepayments of higher yielding loans and investments; limited ability to further reduce deposit and borrowing costs; promotional interest costs to attract new deposit customers; and increases in borrowing costs for the long term borrowings. The rates on new loan originations are being impacted by increased competition. The spread on new loan rates versus external sources of funds have decreased over the past year. In addition, the Company typically originates loans that have a reset period of 5 years or less. Such loans generally require a lower rate of interest versus loans with a longer reset period.
The Company's net interest income and net interest rate spread were both negatively impacted in all periods due to the reversal of accrued interest income on loans delinquent more than 90 days. The total of such income reversed was $105,000 and $562,000 for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $401,000 and $1.9 million for the three and twelve months year ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Company recorded no provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $250,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $700,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $3.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. A rollforward of the allowance for loan losses for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is presented below:

| Net charge-offs (annualized) to average loans outstanding | -% | 0.15% | 0.03% | 0.17% | ||
The improving delinquency and nonaccrual trends, changes in loan risk ratings, loan growth, charge-offs and economic and business conditions continue to have a meaningful impact on the current level of provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses was lower in the 2014 period partially due to these factors. In addition, improvements in general economic and business conditions have also impacted the level of provisioning by decreasing the necessary level of general allowances.

Total delinquent and nonaccrual loans increased slightly at June 30, 2014 versus March 31, 2014. The primary cause of the increase was the modification of several smaller commercial real estate loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs"). However, of the $18.0 million of loans classified as nonaccrual at June 30, 2014, only $9.4 million were 90 days or more past due. The balance of the loans are classified as nonaccrual due to TDR status or prior delinquency. As further described below, the metrics in the nonaccrual total continue to show improvement.
At June 30, 2014, there are seven nonaccrual loans with balances greater than or equal to $1.0 million. These loans are discussed below:
- A $2.9 million construction loan for a luxury home in Morris County, New Jersey. The loan is classified as an impaired troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). A modification/extension agreement was reached with the borrower during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The loan has paid as agreed since the agreement. Principal payments totaling $300,000 have been received in conjunction with, and subsequent to, the modification. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, no reserve was required as of June 30, 2014, primarily due to a low estimated loan to value. The property was recently appraised for $5.8 million. If the loan continues to demonstrate satisfactory performance it will be returned to accrual status as of September 30, 2014 (although there can be no assurances that this will occur).
- A $1.6 million residential loan on a single family residence in Bergen County, New Jersey. A foreclosure action was initiated when loan payments became delinquent. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, a $246,000 impairment reserve remains against this loan as of June 30, 2014. Oritani is pursuing legal remedies and a foreclosure date has been set for the fourth calendar quarter of 2014.
- A $1.0 million loan on a mixed use property in Bergen County, New Jersey. The loan is classified as an impaired TDR. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, a $265,000 impairment reserve remains against this loan as of June 30, 2014. A forbearance agreement had previously been executed and the borrower has generally complied with the payment demands of the Company but not to the extent where the Company believes long term issues with the loan have been resolved. The loan is classified as nonaccrual as of June 30, 2014 and was 30 days delinquent at that time.
- A $2.4 million loan on a multifamily property in New York City. The loan is classified as impaired. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, no reserve was required as of June 30, 2014. The borrower is in bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court recently auctioned the property and the winning bid was for $4.65 million. The Company currently expects that all amounts due will be paid in full in conjunction with the sale. The timing of the sale is controlled by the bankruptcy court. Regular payments have continued on this loan including a small amount toward the delinquent balance.
- A $1.5 million loan on a retail building in Morris County, NJ. The loan is classified as impaired. The prior impairment reserve of $163,000 was charged off against this loan. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan as of June 30, 2014, no additional impairment reserve was necessary. The Company continues to pursue legal remedies.
- A $1.4 million loan on an office building in Somerset County, NJ. The loan is classified as impaired. The prior impairment reserve of $292,000 was charged off against this loan. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan as of June 30, 2014, no additional impairment reserve was necessary. This loan and the loan described directly above have the same borrower. The Company continues to pursue legal remedies on this loan also.
- A $1.2 million loan on a lot and auto showroom in Bergen County, NJ. The loan is classified as an impaired TDR. A modification/extension agreement was reached with the borrower during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The loan has paid as agreed since the agreement. In accordance with the results of the impairment analysis for this loan, a $407,000 impairment reserve was maintained against this loan as of June 30, 2014.
There are twenty other multifamily/commercial real estate loans, totaling $5.1 million, classified as nonaccrual at June 30, 2014. The largest of these loans has a balance of $698,000 (and was fully current at June 30, 2014).
There are seven other residential loans, totaling $842,000, classified as nonaccrual at June 30, 2014. The largest of these loans has a balance of $334,000.
Other Income. Other income decreased $1.3 million to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily due to the receipt of $1.5 million of nonrecurring insurance proceeds recognized as income from bank-owned life insurance in the 2013 period. These proceeds were not subject to income taxes. In addition, there was a net gain on sale of assets of $572,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, which primarily pertains to proceeds received on REO disposals in excess of carrying amounts. There was no such gain in the 2014 period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in income from investments in real estate joint ventures. Income of $410,000 was realized over the quarter ended June 30, 2014 versus a loss of $537,000 in the comparable 2013 period. As discussed in prior public releases, issues related to flooding at one commercial property had decreased occupancy and income. These issues have been resolved as a new grocery anchor tenant is in place and fully operational.
Other income decreased $218,000 to $5.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 from $5.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The net decrease is primarily due to situations described above for income from investments in real estate joint ventures, bank-owned life insurance and net gain on sale of assets.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $766,000 to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. Compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits increased $323,000 to $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, from $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increased expenses associated with the Company's nonqualified benefit plans. In the 2013 period, actual costs were less than anticipated largely due to an increase in the assumed discount rate.
Operating expenses increased $1.6 million to $39.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, from $37.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to compensation, payroll taxes and fringe benefits, which increased $819,000 to $28.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, from $27.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. In addition to the explanation for increased benefit cost described above, an increase was also incurred due to expenses associated with the Company's defined benefit plan. This plan is frozen but actuarial changes to the present value of future payment obligations along with changes to the estimated earnings on assets require ongoing expenses and likely future contributions. In the 2013 period, the valuation of the defined benefit plan resulted in a reduction of expense.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $5.2 million on pre-tax income of $15.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 34.2%. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $5.4 million on pre-tax income of $17.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.7%. Income tax expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, was $21.5 million, due to pre-tax income of $62.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 34.4%. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, income tax expense was $22.0 million, due to pre-tax income of $61.5 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 35.7%. The value of the Company's deferred tax assets increased as a result of a change in New York state tax law in March, 2014. This change reduced the effective rate in the 2014 periods.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013
Total Assets. Total assets increased $308.3 million to $3.14 billion at June 30, 2014, from $2.83 billion at June 30, 2013.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents (which include fed funds and short term investments) increased $6.9 million to $18.9 million at June 30, 2014, from $12.1 million at June 30, 2013.
Net Loans. Loans, net increased $228.1 million to $2.50 billion at June 30, 2014, from $2.28 billion at June 30, 2013, an annualized growth rate of 10.0%. For the quarter ended June 30, 2014, net loan balances grew $115.3 million, an annualized growth rate of 19.3%. Loan originations totaled $195.9 million and $603.1 million for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The growth rate of the loan portfolio continues to be negatively impacted by an elevated level of prepayments. Prepayments and principal amortization totaled $81.3 million and $374.0 million for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Mortgage-backed Securities held to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities HTM decreased $9.5 million to $32.4 million at June 30, 2014, from $41.9 million at June 30, 2013.
Bank Owned Life Insurance. BOLI increased $8.1 million to $68.1 million at June 30, 2014, from $60.0 million at June 30, 2013, as additional BOLI investments have been made over the fiscal year.
Real Estate Owned. Real estate owned ("REO") increased $2.1 million to $3.9 million at June 30, 2014, from $1.7 million at June 30, 2013.

Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity increased $7.6 million to $526.3 million at June 30, 2014, from $518.7 million at June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to net income and the proceeds from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by dividends, including a $0.25 special dividend paid in December, 2013, and treasury stock repurchases. Over the June 30, 2014 quarter, 269,544 shares of stock were repurchased at a total cost of $3.9 million and an average cost of $14.64 per share. Based on our June 30, 2014 closing price of $15.39 per share, the Company stock was trading at 133.1% of book value.
