GREATER BAY BANCORP EXPECTS TO MEET
CONSENSUS EARNINGS ESTIMATES FOR THIRD QUARTER
--Schedules Third Quarter 2001 Earnings Release And Conference Call--
PALO ALTO, CA, October 8, 2001 -- Greater Bay Bancorp (Nasdaq: GBBK), a
financial services holding company, announced that it will broadcast its third
quarter 2001 earnings conference call live via the Internet on Wednesday,
October 17, 2001.
The Company also reported that it expects third quarter 2001 core and net
earnings per share of $0.48, which is in line with First Call analysts'
consensus estimates. The Company also reaffirmed that, based on current market
and economic conditions, it anticipates its full year core earnings, exclusive
of one-time costs related to the merger of SJNB Financial Corp. and other
nonrecurring items, to meet the First Call analysts' consensus estimates.
David L. Kalkbrenner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greater Bay
Bancorp, commented, "The anticipated third quarter earnings remain consistent
with the guidance we published in June of this year at the time we announced our
pending merger with SJNB Financial Corp. Because of that merger, we suspended
our stock repurchase program so that we could account for the merger as a
pooling-of-interests. Although the SEC granted some emergency exemptions from
the pooling requirements, other SEC rules prevent us from resuming our stock
repurchase program as we are in the middle of soliciting proxies for the
shareholder meetings to vote on the merger. If not for the status of the merger,
we would likely be in the market purchasing our stock, since, at current levels,
we believe it would make an excellent investment for us."
A press release outlining the third quarter financial results will be
distributed at 5:45 am PDT on October 17, 2001. The conference call will begin
at 8:00 am PDT on October 17, 2001 and will last for approximately one hour.
