GlobeNewswire
2012-07-17


OAK RIDGE, N.J., July 17, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lakeland Bancorp,
Inc. (Nasdaq:LBAI) reported Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
in the second quarter of 2012 of $5.5 million or $0.20 per diluted
share compared to $4.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the same
period last year. The annualized Return on Average Assets in the second
quarter of 2012 was 0.78%, while the annualized Return on Average
Common Equity was 8.94%. Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
for the first six months of 2012 was $9.8 million or $0.36 per diluted
share, as compared to $8.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share for the
same period last year.

The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per common
share, payable on August 15, 2012 to holders of record as of the close
of business on July 31, 2012.

Thomas J. Shara, Lakeland Bancorp's President and CEO said, "Our second
quarter 2012 earnings growth of 19% was driven by continued loan
growth, a reduced provision for loan and lease losses, tight expense
control, and the elimination of costs associated with our participation
with the Capital Purchase Program. The reduced provision reflects
continued improvement in asset quality, as non-performing assets at
June 30, 2012 were 19% lower than the total reported at March 31,
2012."

Earnings

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2012 was $23.7 million,
as compared to $24.4 million for the same period in 2011. The
annualized Net Interest Margin for the second quarter of 2012 was
3.70%, which compared to 3.90% reported in the second quarter of 2011.
The decrease in net interest margin in the second quarter as compared
to the same period last year reflects a greater reduction in yields on
interest-earning assets as compared to interest-bearing liabilities.
The annualized yield on interest-earning assets declined to 4.35% in
the second quarter of 2012 compared to 4.71% for the same period last
year. The annualized cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased
from 0.99% in the second quarter of 2011 to 0.81% in the second quarter
of 2012.

Year-to-date, net interest income at $47.7 million compared to the
$49.0 million reported for the first six months of 2011. Annualized Net
Interest Margin for the first six months of 2012 at 3.73% compared to
3.90% for the same period last year. The Company's annualized yield on
earning assets decreased from 4.72% for the first six months of 2011,
to 4.39% for the same period this year. The Company's cost of interest
bearing liabilities decreased from 1.00% for the first six months of
2011 to 0.82% for the first six months of this year.

Noninterest Income

securities, totaled $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2012, as
compared to $4.3 million for the same period last year, an increase of
6%. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $241,000 on
gains on sales of investment securities, as compared to $444,000 on
gains for the same period last year. Service charges on deposit
accounts totaling $2.7 million increased by 5% primarily due to the
implementation of a new demand deposit pricing structure in the second
quarter of 2012. Commissions and fees at $1.3 million increased by
$219,000, or 21%, primarily due to increased loan fees and investment
commission income.

which was $59,000 higher than last year's six month total. Gains on

in 2011. Service charges on deposit accounts at $5.2 million were up
2%, while commissions and fees at $2.2 million increased by 20%,
primarily due to increased loan fees and investment commission income.
Gains on leasing related assets at $303,000 decreased by $390,000 in
2012, reflecting the reduction in the leasing portfolio.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $16.5 million,
as compared to $16.7 million for the same period last year, a decrease
of 2%. Salary and benefit expense at $9.6 million increased by 4%.

this year, while expenses on other real estate owned and other
repossessed assets declined $162,000 as compared to the same period
last year. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2012 was

For the first six months of 2012, noninterest expense was $32.7
million, compared to $33.8 million in 2011, a 3% decrease. Salary and
benefit costs at $19.0 million increased 4%, while occupancy, furniture
and equipment expenses at $5.5 million decreased by 6%. FDIC insurance
expense at $1.1 million decreased by $441,000, or 29%, resulting from a
change in FDIC assessment rate methodology. Amortization of core
deposit intangibles were fully amortized in 2011, which resulted in a
$531,000 reduction in expenses in 2012, while expenses on other real
estate owned and other repossessed assets declined by $396,000 compared
to the first six months of 2011.

million from December 31, 2011. Total loans were $2.09 billion, an

were $2.28 billion, an increase of $27.7 million from December 31,
2011. Noninterest bearing demand deposits at $474.2 million have

Forward-Looking Statements

The information disclosed in this document includes various
forward-looking statements (with respect to corporate objectives,
trends, and other financial and business matters) that are made in
reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "anticipates", "projects",
"intends", "estimates", "expects", "believes", "plans", "may", "will",
"should", "could", and other similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. Lakeland cautions that these
forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and speak only
as of the date made, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and
uncertainties, all of which may change over time. Actual results could
differ materially from such forward-looking statements. The following
factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially
and adversely from such forward-looking statements: changes in the
financial services industry and the U.S. and global capital markets,
changes in economic conditions nationally, regionally and in the
Company's markets, the nature and timing of actions of the Federal
Reserve Board and other regulators, the nature and timing of
legislation affecting the financial services industry, government
intervention in the U.S. financial system, changes in levels of market
interest rates, pricing pressures on loan and deposit products, credit
risks of the Company's lending and leasing activities, customers'
acceptance of the Company's products and services and competition. Any
statements made by Lakeland that are not historical facts should be
considered to be forward-looking statements. Lakeland is not obligated
to update and does not undertake to update any of its forward-looking
statements made herein.

EXPLANATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Reported amounts are presented in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The
Company's management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP
information, which consists of measurements and ratios based on
tangible equity and tangible assets, is utilized by regulators and
market analysts to evaluate a company's financial condition and
therefore, such information is useful to investors. These disclosures
should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined
in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to
non-GAAP performance measures which may be presented by other
companies.

The Company also uses an efficiency ratio that is a non-GAAP financial
measure. The ratio that the Company uses excludes amortization of core
deposit intangibles, expenses on other real estate owned and other
repossessed assets and, where applicable, long-term debt prepayment
fees. Income for the non-GAAP ratio is increased by the favorable
effect of tax-exempt income and excludes securities gains and losses,
which can vary from period to period. The Company uses this ratio
because it believes the ratio provides a better comparison of period to
period operating performance.
