FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DIME BANCORP ANNOUNCES RECORD QUARTERLY
AND ANNUAL OPERATING EARNINGS
New York -- January 19, 2001 -- Dime Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: DME) today
announced record quarterly operating earnings of $72.5 million for the fourth
quarter of 2000, up 16.2% from $62.3 million for the fourth quarter of 1999 and
up 4.4% from $69.4 million in the 2000 third quarter. Dime also posted record
annual operating earnings of $273.7 million for the year ended December 31,
2000, up 12.2% from $243.9 million for 1999. Operating earnings are reported
results adjusted for the effects of certain non-recurring or unusual items.
Tony Terracciano, Chairman of Dime, said, "We continued to demonstrate
the value of our franchise with another quarter of solid performance. Credit
quality remains sound, and with about 75% of our loan portfolio secured by
single- or multi-family residential properties, we believe we are better
insulated against the stresses of an economic slowdown. In addition, we are
excited about the progress we have made on our technology initiatives, which we
expect will provide new and valuable Internet-based products and services to our
business and retail customers."
Lawrence J. Toal, Dime's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Despite the
distractions of the past year, our strategy stayed on course, enabling us to
continue to generate record operating earnings. Our approach includes balanced
business lines, discipline in managing credit risk and interest rate risk and a
continued focus on expense management. The profit improvement initiatives
announced in the third quarter of 2000 are on track and should positively impact
our results in 2001. In addition, we ended the year with growing momentum,
including strong loan origination pipelines."
Diluted earnings per share for the quarter and the year ended December
31, 2000 were reduced $0.03 and $0.05, respectively, as a result of a temporary
increase in average diluted common shares outstanding due to the issuance of
13.6 million shares to Warburg Pincus Equity Partners, L.P. and affiliates. The
bulk of the shares were issued early in the third quarter of 2000 and the
remainder early in the fourth quarter of 2000, while a program to repurchase
13.6 million shares did not commence until October 24, 2000. Since that time,
Dime has repurchased 6.8 million shares at an average cost of $24.67 per share.
Stock repurchases are expected to continue in the first quarter of 2001.
Diluted operating earnings per share, adjusted to exclude the temporary
increase in average shares outstanding and the related net interest income
benefit, were $0.62 for the 2000 fourth quarter, up 10.7% from $0.56 in the 1999
fourth quarter and up from $0.61 in the 2000 third quarter. On a similar basis,
diluted operating earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2000 were
$2.41, an 11.1% increase from $2.17 in 1999. Earnings per share for 1999 were
not impacted by the Warburg investment.
Diluted operating earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2000,
excluding any adjustment for average shares outstanding, were $0.59, compared
with $0.56 in the 1999 fourth quarter and $0.59 in the 2000 third
<PAGE> 2
quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2000, such unadjusted operating
earnings per diluted share were $2.36, compared with $2.17 for 1999.
On a reported basis, Dime had net income of $71.5 million, or $0.58 per
diluted share, for the 2000 fourth quarter, compared with net income of $62.3
million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in the 1999 fourth quarter and a net loss
of $16.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the 2000 third quarter. For
the year ended December 31, 2000, Dime had reported net income of $154.7
million, or $1.35 per diluted share, versus $239.8 million, or $2.13 per diluted
share, for 1999.
Operating earnings for the 2000 fourth quarter include adjustments to
reported earnings of $1.5 million of pre-tax charges related to a hostile
takeover attempt of Dime. There were no adjustments to reported earnings in the
1999 fourth quarter, while the calculation of operating earnings for the 2000
third quarter excluded $131.0 million of pre-tax charges related to the
designation for sale of securities from DimeSection s portfolio, actions
associated with an initiative to reduce annual expenses by $50 million and
charges related to the hostile takeover attempt. For the year ended December 31,
2000, operating earnings include adjustments to reported earnings of $186.7
million of pre-tax charges, which includes the charges described above for the
third and fourth quarter as well as $54.3 million of pre-tax charges, taken in
the second quarter, related to the termination of a planned merger and the
hostile takeover attempt, while operating earnings in 1999 include a pre-tax
adjustment of $7.2 million from the extraordinary loss on the early
extinguishment of debt.
CASH OPERATING EARNINGS
Cash operating earnings were $78.8 million, or $0.64 per diluted share,
for the 2000 fourth quarter, compared with $68.5 million, or $0.62 per diluted
share, for the 1999 fourth quarter and $75.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted
share, for the 2000 third quarter. Cash operating earnings for the year ended
December 31, 2000 were $299.0 million, or $2.57 per diluted share, compared with
$260.2 million, or $2.31 per diluted share, for 1999. Cash operating earnings
are operating earnings excluding the after-tax effect of goodwill amortization
expense and have not been adjusted for the above-mentioned temporary increase in
shares outstanding in 2000.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest income increased to $155.8 million in the fourth quarter of
2000 from $153.9 million in the fourth quarter of 1999 and was basically flat
versus $156.8 million in the third quarter of 2000. The increase as compared
with the year earlier quarter reflects a higher level of interest-earning
assets, partially offset by a decline in the net interest margin.
The net interest margin for the 2000 fourth quarter was 2.81%, versus
2.98% in the 1999 fourth quarter and 2.84% in the 2000 third quarter. Dime's
interest rate spread was 2.90%, 3.05%, and 2.92% in the fourth quarter of 2000,
the fourth quarter of 1999, and the third quarter of 2000, respectively. The
declines versus the prior year quarter in net interest margin and spread were
primarily due to higher funding costs associated with an inverted yield curve
interest rate environment, partially offset by a higher proportion of higher
yielding non-residential loans.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income in the 2000 fourth quarter on an operating earnings
basis totaled $149.0 million, up 12.4% from $132.6 million in the 1999 fourth
quarter and 6.5% from $139.9 million in the third quarter of 2000.
- Loan servicing and production fees were $75.3 million in the 2000 fourth
quarter, up 9.9% from $68.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1999 and 2.8%
from $73.2 million in the 2000 third quarter.
- Banking service fees in the 2000 fourth quarter increased 9.4% to $16.3
million from $14.9 million in the 1999 fourth quarter and were down slightly
from $16.7 million in the 2000 third quarter.
<PAGE> 3
- Securities and insurance brokerage fees of $8.8 million for the 2000 fourth
quarter decreased from $9.1 million in the 1999 fourth quarter and $10.2
million in the 2000 third quarter.
- Net gains on sales activities for the 2000 fourth quarter were $44.7
million, up $8.4 million from $36.3 million in the 1999 fourth quarter and
$8.7 million from $36.0 million in the third quarter of 2000, reflecting in
part higher refinancing activity.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense on an operating earnings basis was $186.8 million
in the 2000 fourth quarter, compared with $181.0 million in the 1999 fourth
quarter and $182.9 million in the 2000 third quarter. The increases in the
current quarter largely reflected higher levels of mortgage servicing rights
amortization resulting from increases in residential mortgage loan prepayment
rates. These increases were partially offset by reduced general and
administrative expenses related to management's ongoing efforts to contain
costs. G&A expenses were $140.0 million in the 2000 fourth quarter, down from
$144.1 million in the 1999 fourth quarter and $142.0 in the 2000 third quarter.
The efficiency ratio improved during the fourth quarter of 2000 to 45.9%
from 50.3% in the fourth quarter of 1999 and 47.9% in the third quarter of 2000.
LOANS RECEIVABLE AND LOAN SERVICING
At December 31, 2000, Dime's loans receivable portfolio totaled $16.3
billion, compared with $15.2 billion at December 31, 1999 and $16.1 billion at
September 30, 2000. The increases from the prior periods were related to
continued growth in the commercial real estate, consumer, and business loan
portfolios, which represented 51.4% of total loans at December 31, 2000, up from
46.1% at December 31, 1999 and 50.2% at September 30, 2000.
At December 31, 2000, Dime serviced $44.1 billion of loans for others,
substantially all of which were residential real estate loans. This compares
with $38.4 billion at December 31, 1999 and $42.6 billion at September 30, 2000.
Excluding loans being subserviced, the weighted average coupon rate of
residential loans serviced for others was 7.40% at December 31, 2000, compared
with 7.25% at December 31, 1999 and 7.37% at September 30, 2000. The book value
of mortgage servicing assets at December 31, 2000 was $1.02 billion, including
$75 million associated with hedges, while the estimated fair value was $1.03
billion.
The residential mortgage pipeline was $7.6 billion at December 31, 2000,
compared with $4.4 billion at December 31, 1999 and $7.0 billion at September
30, 2000. The pipeline currently stands in excess of $9.0 billion. The actual
level of loans closed is related to the level of the pipeline, but may fluctuate
due to various factors, including changes in market rates for residential
mortgages.
ASSET QUALITY
The allowance for loan losses was $144.4 million at December 31, 2000,
representing 215% of non-accrual loans. These figures compare favorably with the
allowance and coverage levels of $140.3 million and 202%, respectively, at
December 31, 1999 and $146.7 million and 198%, respectively, at September 30,
2000.
At December 31, 2000, non-performing assets (non-accrual loans and other
real estate owned) totaled $87.5 million, or 0.34% of total assets, compared
with $86.1 million, or 0.36% of total assets, at December 31, 1999 and $91.3
million, or 0.36% of total assets, at September 30, 2000. At December 31, 2000,
approximately 75% of Dime's non-performing assets were related to 1-4 family
residential property assets, which typically have low loss rates.
<PAGE> 4
In the fourth quarter of 2000, the provision for loan losses was $7.0
million, unchanged from both the fourth quarter of 1999 and the third quarter of
2000. Net charge-offs were $9.3 million in the 2000 fourth quarter, compared
with $5.8 million in the 1999 fourth quarter and $3.8 million in the 2000 third
quarter. Net charge-offs were higher in the fourth quarter of 2000 due primarily
to a regulatory policy change that accelerated charge-offs on certain consumer
and residential mortgage loans. This policy change resulted in a one-time $3.3
million increase in charge-offs.
RECENT EVENTS
On December 29, 2000, Dime distributed to its common shareholders one
Litigation Tracking Warrant(TM) (LTW(TM)) per common share. These LTWs represent
a substantial portion of Dime's economic interest in its pending "goodwill"
lawsuit against the U.S. government. The LTWs are listed on the Nasdaq National
Market under the trading symbol DIMEZ.
Today, at 11:00 a.m. EST, Lawrence J. Toal, Chief Executive Officer, and
Anthony R. Burriesci, Chief Financial Officer, will host an investor conference
call to review Dime's financial and operating performance for the period. The
conference call is open to the public by calling 1-800-553-5260. A replay of the
conference call will also be available beginning at 3:00 p.m. EST on January 19
through 5:00 p.m. EST on January 26 at 1-800-475-6701. The access code for the
replay is 566317.
At December 31, 2000, Dime had assets of $25.7 billion and deposits of
$14.0 billion. Its principal subsidiary, The Dime Savings Bank of New York, FSB
(www.dime.com), is a regional bank serving consumers and businesses throughout
the greater New York City metropolitan area. Directly and through its mortgage
banking subsidiary, North American Mortgage Company (www.namc.com), Dime also
provides consumer loans, insurance products and mortgage banking services
throughout the United States.

Certain statements in Dime's press releases may be forward-looking. A
variety of factors could cause Dime's actual results and experience to differ
materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in such
forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the
operations, performance, development, and results of Dime's business include
litigation, interest rate movements, competition from both financial and
non-financial institutions, changes in applicable laws and regulations, the
timing and occurrence (or non-occurrence) of transactions and events that may be
subject to circumstances beyond Dime's control and general economic conditions.
Dime believes that "operating earnings" and "cash operating earnings"
basis information, when taken in conjunction with reported results, provide
useful information in evaluating performance on a comparable basis, although
operating earnings and cash operating earnings are not currently a required
basis for reporting financial results under generally accepted accounting
principles.
