FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ASTORIA FINANCIAL CORPORATION REPORTS 31% INCREASE
IN SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS TO $0.72 PER SHARE
(CASH EARNINGS OF $1.00 PER SHARE)
DECLARES QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND OF $0.15 PER SHARE
LAKE SUCCESS, NEW YORK - JULY 17, 1997 -- Astoria Financial Corporation
(Nasdaq:ASFC), the holding company for Astoria Federal Savings and Loan
Association, today reported fully diluted earnings per share of $0.72 for the
second quarter ended June 30, 1997, a 30.9% increase from fully diluted earnings
per share of $0.55 for the 1996 second quarter. For the six months ended June
30, 1997, fully diluted earnings per share increased 17.1%, to $1.44 from $1.23
in the comparable 1996 period.
Astoria Financial's net income increased 29.9% to $15.2 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 from $11.7 million for the 1996 second quarter. Net
income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 15.9%, to $30.6 million
from $26.4 million for the first half of 1996.
CASH EARNINGS AND RELATED RETURNS
Cash earnings, which represent the amount by which tangible equity
changes each period due to operating results, include reported earnings plus the
non-cash charges for goodwill amortization and amortization relating to certain
employee stock plans and related tax benefit. It
<PAGE>
is important that investors or potential investors focus on cash earnings and
related ratios since tangible equity generation, or cash earnings, measures our
financial capacity for growth, share repurchases and/or payment of dividends.
Cash earnings increased tangible equity in the 1997 second quarter by $21.2
million, or 39.7% more than reported earnings would indicate. Please see pages
10 through 14.
Cash earnings were $21.2 million, or $1.00 per share, for the 1997
second quarter compared to $16.7 million, or $0.79 per share, for the 1996
second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, cash earnings were $42.6
million, or $2.01 per share, compared to $36.2 million, or $1.69 per share for
the comparable 1996 period.
The cash returns on average tangible equity for the second quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1997 were 17.23% and 17.37%, respectively, versus
14.50% and 15.35%, respectively, for the 1996 periods. The cash returns on
average assets for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 were
1.10% and 1.13%, respectively, versus 0.96% and 1.06%, respectively, for the
1996 periods. Commenting on the Company's results, George L. Engelke, Jr.,
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are pleased to report
consecutive quarterly cash returns on tangible equity in excess of 17%. What is
equally important to note is that the second quarter and first half increase in
tangible equity from operations exceeded reported earnings by 39% illustrating
the significance of cash earnings for Astoria Financial Corporation."
ASTORIA DECLARES QUARTERLY CASH DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors, at their July 16, 1997 meeting, declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share. The dividend will be payable
on September 2, 1997 to shareholders of record at the close of business on
August 15, 1997. This is the ninth consecutive quarterly cash dividend declared
by the Company.
FIFTH STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM UNDERWAY
During the second quarter, Astoria Financial, under its previously
announced stock repurchase program, purchased 315,000 shares of common stock, or
12.6% of the 2,500,000 shares authorized under the program, at a cost of $12.4
million, or $39.32 per share. A total of 805,497 shares at a cost of $31.2
million, or $38.72 per share, have been purchased since the commencement of the
fifth stock repurchase program on November 27, 1996, bringing the
2
<PAGE>
cumulative total shares repurchased to 5,695,829, at an average cost of $21.26
per share, since the first repurchase program commenced in April 1994.
Additional purchases may be made from time to time through November 27, 1998, in
the open market or through negotiated transactions, at the discretion of
management.
1997 SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTH EARNINGS SUMMARY
Net interest income for the second quarter of 1997 increased 5.6% to
$49.4 million, from $46.8 million in the 1996 second quarter. For the six months
ended June 30, 1997, net interest income increased 8.0%, or $7.3 million, to
$98.9 million, from $91.6 million for the first six months of 1996. The three
and six-month increases are primarily attributable to the growth in average
interest-earning assets, primarily mortgage loans, partially offset by decreases
in the net interest margin.
Astoria's net interest margin was 2.62% and 2.70% for the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to 2.81% for each of the
comparable 1996 periods. The majority of the decrease in the net interest margin
in the second quarter was due to a decrease of $292.1 million in the average
balance of the mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities portfolio,
primarily resulting from a balance sheet restructuring, and a temporary
increase, awaiting deployment into mortgage loans or other securities, of $219.7
million in the average balance of Federal funds, which reduced the yield on
average interest earning assets.
The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was
$1.4 million, compared to $2.0 million for the 1996 second quarter. For the six
months ended June 30, 1997, the provision was $1.9 million, compared to $2.6
million for the comparable 1996 period. The 1997 provision for the second
quarter and year-to-date were primarily related to growth in the mortgage loan
portfolio, mainly single-family mortgage loans. Non-performing assets declined
to $39 million, or 0.51% of total assets at June 30, 1997, from $55 million, or
0.78% of total assets at June 30, 1996 and from $40 million, or 0.52% of total
assets at March 31, 1997.
Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, exclusive of
net gains on sales of securities and loans of $1.1 million, increased 20.2% to
$3.5 million, compared to $2.9 million, exclusive of net gains on sales of
securities and loans of $507,000 for the comparable quarter of 1996.
Non-interest income, exclusive of net gains on sales of securities and loans of
3
<PAGE>
$1.5 million, increased 15.5% in the first half of 1997 to $6.6 million,
compared to $5.7 million, exclusive of net gains on sales of securities and
loans of $1.3 million for the 1996 period. The increases are primarily
attributable to increased customer service and loan fees.
For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, non-interest expense, excluding
the amortization of goodwill and certain employee stock plans and related tax
benefit ("cash non-interest expense"), declined 8.0% to $20.5 million, compared
to $22.3 million for the same period last year. The decrease was due primarily
to lower FDIC deposit insurance premiums. For the six months ended June 30,
1997, cash non-interest expense was $40.6 million, compared to $38.9 million for
the first six months of 1996. For the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1997, non-interest expense, including the non-cash charges, were $26.5 million
and $52.6 million, respectively, compared to $27.2 million and $48.7 million,
respectively, for the comparable 1996 periods. Non-interest expense and cash
non-interest expense for the 1996 periods include sizeable non-recurring
recoveries on the disposition of certain real estate assets in the 1996 first
quarter totaling $5.3 million, before taxes.
Cash general and administrative expense ("G&A") decreased to $20.2
million in the 1997 second quarter and $40.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997, compared to $21.9 million and $43.2 million for the comparable
1996 periods, primarily due to lower FDIC deposit insurance premiums. More
importantly, the cash general and administrative expense ratio to average assets
for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 improved to 1.05% and
1.06%, respectively, from 1.26% and 1.27% for the comparable periods last year.
Mr. Engelke commented, "The significant downward trend in this very important
operating ratio is evidence of our focus on efficiency."
General and administrative expense for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1997, including non-cash charges, was $24.1 million and $47.9 million,
respectively, compared to $24.7 million and $48.6 million, respectively, for the
comparable 1996 periods. The general and administrative expense ratios to
average assets for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997
improved to 1.25% and 1.27%, respectively, from 1.42% and 1.43%, respectively,
for the comparable 1996 periods.

BALANCE SHEET SUMMARY
Total assets were $7.7 billion at June 30, 1997, unchanged from March
31, 1997 and up 5.4%, or $391.7 million from the $7.3 billion total reported at
December 31, 1996.
At June 30, 1997, the cumulative one-year interest rate sensitivity gap
was 11.39% compared to 15.90% at June 30, 1996. Assuming the available-for-sale
securities portfolio was categorized according to repricing periods based on
estimated prepayments and maturities, the cumulative one-year interest rate
sensitivity gap would be negative 4.07% at June 30, 1997 compared to negative
5.20% at June 30, 1996.
Loans, net, increased $306.9 million, or 11.1% from March 31, 1997 and
$433.1 million, or 16.4% from December 31, 1996. The increases were concentrated
in one-to-four family mortgage loans. Mortgage lending activity in the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 18.5% and 16.5%,
respectively, over the comparable periods a year ago. The table below details
the activity:

Commenting on the loan growth, Mr. Engelke said, "We continued to enjoy
record mortgage loan growth in the second quarter due primarily to the success
of our broker lending program, which has recently been expanded to include
Maryland and Virginia in addition to New
5
<PAGE>
York, New Jersey and Connecticut."
Deposits at June 30, 1997 were relatively unchanged from March 31, 1997
and totaled $4.5 billion. Importantly, core deposits increased 2.6% during the
second quarter to 40.2% of total deposits. Borrowings decreased $94.5 million in
the second quarter ended June 30, 1997 and increased $334.5 million in the first
six months of 1997.
Stockholders' equity was $599.8 million, or 7.8% of total assets, at
June 30, 1997 compared to $584.4 million, or 7.6% of total assets, at March 31,
1997. Astoria Federal continues to maintain capital ratios well in excess of
regulatory requirements. At June 30, 1997, core, tangible and risk-based capital
ratios were 5.69%, 5.69% and 15.98%, respectively.
