VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP REPORTS A 25 PERCENT INCREASE IN THIRD QUARTER 2020 NET INCOME AND STRONG NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN

NEW YORK, NY – October 22, 2020 --

Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY), the holding company for Valley National Bank, today reported net income for the third quarter 2020 of $102.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted common share, as compared to the third quarter 2019 earnings of $81.9 million, or $0.24 per diluted common share, and net income of $95.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the second quarter 2020.

Key financial highlights for the third quarter:

•Net Interest Income and Margin: Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis of $284.1 million for the third quarter 2020 increased $579 thousand as compared to the second quarter 2020. The increase was largely due to a 13 basis point decline in our funding costs caused by the continued downward repricing of our interest bearing deposits, partially offset by lower yields on new loan volumes and increased premium amortization expense related to mortgage-backed investment securities. Our net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis of 3.01 percent for the third quarter 2020 increased by 1 basis point from 3.00 percent for the second quarter 2020. See the "Net Interest Income and Margin" section below for additional information.

•Loan Portfolio: Loans increased $101.0 million, to $32.4 billion at September 30, 2020 from June 30, 2020. The increase was largely due to controlled growth in our commercial real estate loan portfolio and a $63 million increase in SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans classified as commercial and industrial loans during the third quarter. Third quarter new and refinanced loan originations included approximately $386 million of residential mortgage loans originated for sale rather than investment as compared to $296 million of such loans in the second quarter 2020. Net gains on sales of residential loans were $13.4 million and $8.3 million in the third quarter 2020 and second quarter 2020, respectively. See the "Loans" section below for more details.

•Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses for Loans: The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $335.3 million and $319.7 million at September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. During the third quarter 2020, the provision for credit losses for loans was $31.0 million as compared to $41.1 million and $8.7 million for the second quarter 2020 and third quarter 2019, respectively. The reserve build in the third quarter 2020 reflects several factors, including deterioration in Valley's macroeconomic outlook since the end of the second quarter, additional qualitative management adjustments to reflect the potential for higher levels of credit stress related to COVID-19 impacted borrowers, and the impact of lower valuations of collateral securing our non-performing taxi medallion loan portfolio.
