EX-99.1 2 exhibit99_1.txt PRESS RELEASE Interchange Financial Services Corporation Reports 2nd Quarter Net Income with Sequential Earnings per Share Growth of 10% SADDLE BROOK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 21, 2004--Interchange Financial Services Corporation (Nasdaq:IFCJ) 2nd Quarter Highlights: -- Loans grow $52 million sequentially at an annualized rate of 25% -- Net interest income expands 19% from 2nd quarter of 2003 -- SBA Preferred Lender Status Obtained Interchange Financial Services Corporation (the "Company") (Nasdaq:IFCJ), holding company of Northern N.J.'s fast growing community bank, Interchange Bank (the "Bank"), today reported second quarter 2004 results which included three and six month net income of approximately $4.4 million, up 4.0%, and $8.3 million, up 10.6%, respectively, from the same periods in 2003. For the past three and six months, average diluted shares outstanding increased approximately 8.2% and 18.4% as compared to the same periods in 2003. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months were $0.34 and $0.64 respectively, a decline of 2.9% and 7.2% as compared to the same periods in 2003. The decline in earnings per share was a result of a compression in net interest margin from the same periods in 2003 and an increase in diluted shares outstanding as a result of the Bridge View Bancorp ("Bridge View") acquisition. Anthony Abbate, President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "Interchange's healthy loan growth during the quarter; the sequential increase in our diluted earnings per share of 10%, along with our increased margin, are the products of our success. And while the community banking environment in Northern NJ is competitive, we stay true to our core - focusing our efforts on customers in the area - we remain poised for continued success. Our loans grew sequentially at an annual rate of 25%, with exceptional growth in our commercial lending area; net interest income increased 19% buoyed by our strong loan growth, and our recent SBA Preferred Lender status will have an immediate impact on our small business customers by improving our array of loan products." Commenting further on the Company's performance, Mr. Abbate stated, "We remain true to our philosophy and follow a pattern for long-term growth opportunities. We are not chasing yield as others in the industry have, and although in the short-term we have been challenged, our growth strategy and the 2nd quarters' success continue to support our long-term corporate objectives." The second quarter 2003 results include Bridge View's operations which was acquired on April 30, 2003. At that time, Bridge View had total assets of approximately $291 million, $184 million of loans and $259 million of deposits. The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per common share, for the third quarter of 2004. This dividend represents $0.50 per share on an annualized basis and an increase of 14% over the prior year. Return on Average Assets and Equity The Company generated a 1.25% return on average assets and a 12.08% return on average stockholders' equity for the second quarter 2004 versus 1.40% and 14.03%, respectively, for the second quarter 2003. The decline in return on average stockholders' equity was a function of the acquisition of Bridge View. Diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 were $0.34 and $0.64, respectively, as compared to $0.35 and $0.69, respectively, the same periods in 2003. Net Interest Income For the second quarter of 2004, net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, increased $1.4 million, or 11.8% from the same period in 2003. For the first six months, net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis, increased $4.1 million or 19.0% from the same period in 2003. The growth for the quarter and six months as compared to 2003 was attributed to an increase in average interest earning assets of $179 million and $266 million, which was largely due to growth in loans and investments. The improvement in net interest income for the quarter was tempered by a decline in the Company's net interest margin. Non-Interest Income For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004, non-interest income was $2.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively, as compared to $2.6 million and $4.5 million for the same periods in 2003. The change for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same periods in the prior year was largely attributable to an increase in gains on sales of securities and loan fees and service charges. These positive fluctuations were offset in part by a decline in bank owned life insurance income and gains on sales of loans, mainly through the Mortgage Partnership Finance Partnership Program with the Federal Home Loan Bank. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense for the quarter amounted to $8.8 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 14.3% as compared to same quarter in 2003. For the six-month period, non-interest expense amounted to $17.7 million, an increase of $3.5 million or 24.6% as compared to the same period last year. The increase for each reporting period was due largely to the additional operating costs resulting from the merger with Bridge View. Also contributing to non-interest expense growth for the six months ended June 30, 2004, as compared to the same period in 2003, were normal increases related to salaries, benefits and occupancy expenses. Total Loans At June 30, 2004, total loans were $883.3 million, an increase of $86.7 million, or 10.9% as compared to December 31, 2003. Growth occurred in both the commercial and consumer portfolios which increased $47.3 million and $43.5 million, respectively. The Company's non-performing assets decreased to $6.8 million at June 30, 2004 as compared to $8.8 million at December 31, 2003. Non-performing assets represented 0.77% and 1.10%, of the total loans and foreclosed and repossessed assets outstanding at the end of the respective periods. The Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses totaled $9.8 million at June 30, 2004, and represented 148.9% of non-performing loans and leases and 1.11% of total loans and leases.
