Greater Bay Bancorp (Nasdaq:GBBK), a $7.3 billion in assets financial services holding company, today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the third quarter of 2006, the Company’s net income was $18.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, compared to $25.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2005, and $25.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2006. For the first nine months of 2006, net income was $69.5 million, or $1.24 per diluted common share, compared to $69.8 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2005. Operating results for the quarter reflected the recognition of approximately $7.0 million of notable expenses which included the following: $3.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that were written off in connection with the redemption of trust preferred securities in August 2006; $2.5 million in combined expenses related to the rebranding of regional banking identities, consulting costs related to the previously disclosed self-initiated review of historical stock option practices, and transitional costs related to the outsourcing of the Company’s mainframe data processing operations; and $1.3 million in costs at ABD related to severance and expenses associated with the opening of ABD’s new office in Oregon. For the third quarter of 2006, the Company’s return on average common equity, annualized, was 10.15% compared to 15.13% for the third quarter of 2005, and 14.29% for the second quarter of 2006. Return on average common equity, annualized, for the first nine months of 2006 was 13.22% compared to 13.96% for the same period in 2005. Return on average assets, annualized, for the third quarter of 2006 was 1.00% compared to 1.41% for the third quarter of 2005, and 1.41% for the second quarter of 2006. Return on average assets, annualized, was 1.29% for the first nine months of 2006 compared to 1.32% for the same period in 2005. “Our performance for the quarter was marked by the confluence of several non-core or otherwise notable expenses which impacted our bottom line results,” stated Byron A. Scordelis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greater Bay Bancorp. “On a more sustained basis, we are pleased to note the continuation of both solid loan growth and exemplary credit quality during the most recent period. In the insurance brokerage area, organic revenue growth was once again favorable at ABD, and the Bank successfully completed the outsourcing of its mainframe operations which will contribute to our broader and ongoing cost reduction efforts in the future.” “While period-end core deposit totals once again declined, effectively all of that reduction occurred in the volatile title company, venture capital, and 1031 exchange specialty deposit areas which extended a cyclical trend that has been evident for several quarters,” Mr. Scordelis continued. “With both the growth and quality of our loan portfolio well in hand, we are intently focused on operating expense containment as well as long term growth and value in our core deposit base as being key elements to drive our future earnings performance.” Net Interest Income and Margin Net interest income for the third quarter of 2006 decreased to $63.8 million from $68.0 million in the third quarter of 2005, and decreased from $65.8 million in the second quarter of 2006. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2006 decreased to $196.2 million from $199.5 million for the same period of 2005. The net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the third quarter of 2006 was 3.97%, compared to 4.32% for the third quarter of 2005 and 4.26% for the second quarter of 2006. The net interest margin (on a fully tax equivalent basis) for the first nine months of 2006 was 4.20% compared to 4.34% for the same period in 2005. “About half of the third quarter reduction in net interest margin resulted from the combined effect of continued loan growth, core deposit attrition, and upward pressure on core deposit costs,” stated James Westfall, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “The remaining change largely resulted from growth in our investment portfolio, a period-to-period decline in deferred interest recognition and prepayment fees, and a temporary increase in cash and cash equivalents. We currently anticipate that our margin for the fourth quarter will remain stabilized at or near third quarter levels which has been reflected in our revised margin outlook for the full year,” he concluded. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2006 increased to $55.5 million compared to $54.5 million in the third quarter of 2005. This change was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in insurance brokerage commissions and fees. Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2006 decreased by $1.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2006. This reduction was primarily attributable to a $3.6 million reduction in warrant portfolio income, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in insurance commissions and fees. Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2006 increased to $172.3 million from $158.9 million for the same period of 2005. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in insurance brokerage commissions and fees of $9.6 million and an increase in other income of $3.6 million including $3.9 million of warrant portfolio appreciation. Non-interest income as a percentage of total revenues for the third quarter of 2006 was 46.5%, compared to 44.5% for the third quarter of 2005 and 46.3% for the second quarter of 2006. Non-interest income as a percentage of total revenues for the first nine months of 2006 was 46.7%, compared to 44.3% for the same period one year ago. “We are encouraged by the continued revenue growth being achieved by ABD in the face of ongoing pressures on premium levels in the property and casualty and workers’ compensation areas,” commented Mr. Scordelis. “Of equal significance, ABD entered the Oregon market by opening a new office in Eugene during the quarter, continuing ABD’s progress in implementing its strategic objective of achieving a preeminent presence and share position on the West Coast.” Operating Expenses Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2006 increased to $91.1 million from $84.6 million in the third quarter of 2005. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2006 increased to $91.1 million from $84.5 million in the second quarter of 2006. This expense growth was primarily attributable to the following: Write-off of $3.2 million in unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the redemption of trust preferred securities, Combined costs of $2.5 million associated with the rebranding of banking identities, consulting costs related to the previously disclosed self-initiated review of historical stock option practices, and outsourcing of the Company’s mainframe computer operations, and Costs of $1.3 million at ABD related to severance and expenses associated with the opening of its new office in Oregon. Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2006 increased to $267.7 million from $249.7 million for the first nine months of 2005. In addition to the items noted above, expense growth during this period was also attributable to: Expenses of $10.2 million representing the full year impact in 2006 of expenses resulting from the Lucini/Parish acquisition in May 2005 and ABD’s opening of new office locations in San Diego and Denver, and Expenses of $2.3 million due to accelerated vesting of restricted stock and adoption of FAS 123R. “In the current cyclical period of margin and revenue pressure, cost rationalization is clearly of increased importance. As a result of focused expense reduction initiatives currently underway, we fully expect total normalized core operating expenses to decrease in 2007 from actual 2006 levels,” stated Mr. Scordelis. Credit Quality Overview Net loan charge-offs in the third quarter of 2006 were $0.2 million, or 0.02% of average loans, annualized, compared to $3.1 million, or 0.26% of average loans, for the third quarter of 2005 and $2.7 million, or 0.23% of average loans, for the second quarter of 2006. Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2006 were $2.9 million, or 0.08% of average loans, annualized, compared to $10.1 million or 0.29% for the same period in 2005. Provision for credit losses was a negative provision of $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to a negative provision of $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2005, and a negative provision of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2006. The provision for the first nine months of 2006 was a negative $8.3 million, compared to a negative $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2005. Non-performing assets were $29.7 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $73.1 million at September 30, 2005 and $32.6 million at June 30, 2006. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.40% at September 30, 2006, compared to 1.03% at September 30, 2005 and 0.44% at June 30, 2006. The ratio of non-accrual loans to total loans was 0.60% at September 30, 2006, compared to 1.53% at September 30, 2005 and 0.68% at June 30, 2006. Allowance for loan and lease losses was $71.3 million, or 1.48% of total loans at September 30, 2006, compared to $92.9 million, or 1.98% of total loans, at September 30, 2005 and $71.7 million, or 1.50% of total loans, at June 30, 2006. “We continue to be pleased with the quality of our credit portfolio,” commented Mr. Scordelis. “Non-performing loan levels continued their downward trend, and now stand fully sixty percent below the dollar level of one year ago. Net charge-offs were also extremely well contained. An assessment of these and other key credit metrics gave rise to our decision to favorably adjust our guidance in this area for the full year of 2006,” he concluded. Balance Sheet At September 30, 2006, total assets were $7.3 billion, total net loans were $4.8 billion, total securities were $1.6 billion, and total deposits were $5.1 billion. Total loans net of deferred costs and fees increased by $149.6 million from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006. This growth reflects increases of $143.4 million in real estate construction and land loans, and $131.0 million in commercial loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $70.1 million in the commercial term real estate loan portfolio, $38.6 million in real estate other and $36.9 million in consumer and other loans. Total loans net of deferred costs and fees increased by $61.7 million from June 30, 2006 to September 30, 2006, representing an annualized growth rate of 5.12% for the quarter. This growth reflects an increase of $63.9 in commercial loans and $22.0 million in commercial term real estate loans, partially offset by decreases of $22.7 million in consumer and other loans and $9.0 million in construction and land loans. “We are pleased with our fourth consecutive quarter of core loan expansion, particularly since this growth was once again concentrated in the targeted area of commercial lending. With our specialty finance business activity remaining strong and our community banking business posting tangible growth during the period, we continue to track to the expectations reflected in our existing guidance,” indicated Mr. Scordelis. Securities totaled $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2006, compared to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2005 and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2006. Core deposits (excluding institutional and brokered deposits) at September 30, 2006 decreased by $479.8 million compared to September 30, 2005 and decreased by $154.6 million compared to June 30, 2006. According to Mr. Scordelis, “While core deposit levels continue to be affected by the volatility of large specialty accounts and upward pressure on core deposit costs, we are encouraged that money market account totals in our community banking area remained virtually flat during the quarter. Given this overall challenging environment, we have redoubled our focus on steps aimed at ensuring the restoration of well-priced growth in our deposit portfolio,” he added. Capital Overview The capital ratios of Greater Bay Bancorp and its subsidiary bank continue to exceed minimum well-capitalized guidelines established by bank regulatory agencies. The Company’s common equity to assets ratio was 10.01% at September 30, 2006, compared to 9.43% at September 30, 2005 and 9.66% at June 30, 2006. The Company’s tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.34% at September 30, 2006, compared to 5.58% at September 30, 2005 and 5.96% at June 30, 2006. Other Matters In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (SAB 108). The Company will adopt SAB 108 as of December 31, 2006 and initially apply its provisions using the cumulative effect transition method in connection with the preparation of its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006. Upon adoption of SAB 108, the Company expects to increase net income for the year ending December 31, 2006 by approximately $1.3 million and, as of January 1, 2006, record an increase to common stock of approximately $3.4 million and a reduction in retained earnings of approximately $4.7 million. The increase in net income results from the reversal of entries recorded during the first and second quarters of 2006 to correct immaterial errors related to periods prior to 2006. The increase in common stock relates to previously uncorrected errors in recording tax benefits arising from stock option tax deductions during the years 1996 through 2005. Outlook for 2006 Our full year guidance for 2006 has been updated as follows: Core Loan Growth – based on the current forecast of moderate economic growth in our primary market area, we anticipate core loan portfolio growth in the mid to high single digit range. Core Deposit Growth – we do not currently contemplate a near-term recovery of the core deposit outflow experienced in the first nine months of 2006, and now expect core deposit totals to remain flat for the balance of the year relative to the quarter end balance at September 30, 2006. Credit Quality – based on our continued credit risk management and the current economic outlook, we anticipate full year net charge-offs to range from 12 basis points to 15 basis points of average loans outstanding. Net Interest Margin – based on the Company’s anticipated core loan growth and core deposit stability and its neutral interest rate sensitivity position, we expect the full year margin level to fluctuate in the 4.10% to 4.15% range.

Greater Bay Bancorp (Nasdaq:GBBK), a $7.3 billion in assets financial services holding company, today announced results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the third quarter of 2006, the Company's net income was $18.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted common share, compared to $25.6 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2005, and $25.1 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2006. For the first nine months of 2006, net income was $69.5 million, or $1.24 per diluted common share, compared to $69.8 million, or $1.16 per diluted common share for the first nine months of 2005. Operating results for the quarter reflected the recognition of approximately $7.0 million of notable expenses which included the following: $3.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs that were written off in connection with the redemption of trust preferred securities in August 2006; $2.5 million in combined expenses related to the rebranding of regional banking identities, consulting costs related to the previously disclosed self-initiated review of historical stock option practices, and transitional costs related to the outsourcing of the Company's mainframe data processing operations; and $1.3 million in costs at ABD related to severance and expenses associated with the opening of ABD's new office in Oregon. For the third quarter of 2006, the Company's return on average common equity, annualized, was 10.15% compared to 15.13% for the third quarter of 2005, and 14.29% for the second quarter of 2006. Return on average common equity, annualized, for the first nine months of 2006 was 13.22% compared to 13.96% for the same period in 2005. Return on average assets, annualized, for the third quarter of 2006 was 1.00% compared to 1.41% for the third quarter of 2005, and 1.41% for the second quarter of 2006. Return on average assets, annualized, was 1.29% for the first nine months of 2006 compared to 1.32% for the same period in 2005. "Our performance for the quarter was marked by the confluence of several non-core or otherwise notable expenses which impacted our bottom line results," stated Byron A. Scordelis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greater Bay Bancorp. "On a more sustained basis, we are pleased to note the continuation of both solid loan growth and exemplary credit quality during the most recent period. In the insurance brokerage area, organic revenue growth was once again favorable at ABD, and the Bank successfully completed the outsourcing of its mainframe operations which will contribute to our broader and ongoing cost reduction efforts in the future." "While period-end core deposit totals once again declined, effectively all of that reduction occurred in the volatile title company, venture capital, and 1031 exchange specialty deposit areas which extended a cyclical trend that has been evident for several quarters," Mr. Scordelis continued. "With both the growth and quality of our loan portfolio well in hand, we are intently focused on operating expense containment as well as long term growth and value in our core deposit base as being key elements to drive our future earnings performance." Net Interest Income and Margin Net interest income for the third quarter of 2006 decreased to $63.8 million from $68.0 million in the third quarter of 2005, and decreased from $65.8 million in the second quarter of 2006. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2006 decreased to $196.2 million from $199.5 million for the same period of 2005. The net interest margin (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) for the third quarter of 2006 was 3.97%, compared to 4.32% for the third quarter of 2005 and 4.26% for the second quarter of 2006. The net interest margin (on a fully tax equivalent basis) for the first nine months of 2006 was 4.20% compared to 4.34% for the same period in 2005. "About half of the third quarter reduction in net interest margin resulted from the combined effect of continued loan growth, core deposit attrition, and upward pressure on core deposit costs," stated James Westfall, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "The remaining change largely resulted from growth in our investment portfolio, a period-to-period decline in deferred interest recognition and prepayment fees, and a temporary increase in cash and cash equivalents. We currently anticipate that our margin for the fourth quarter will remain stabilized at or near third quarter levels which has been reflected in our revised margin outlook for the full year," he concluded. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2006 increased to $55.5 million compared to $54.5 million in the third quarter of 2005. This change was primarily attributable to a $1.8 million increase in insurance brokerage commissions and fees. Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2006 decreased by $1.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2006. This reduction was primarily attributable to a $3.6 million reduction in warrant portfolio income, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in insurance commissions and fees. Non-interest income for the first nine months of 2006 increased to $172.3 million from $158.9 million for the same period of 2005. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in insurance brokerage commissions and fees of $9.6 million and an increase in other income of $3.6 million including $3.9 million of warrant portfolio appreciation. Non-interest income as a percentage of total revenues for the third quarter of 2006 was 46.5%, compared to 44.5% for the third quarter of 2005 and 46.3% for the second quarter of 2006. Non-interest income as a percentage of total revenues for the first nine months of 2006 was 46.7%, compared to 44.3% for the same period one year ago. "We are encouraged by the continued revenue growth being achieved by ABD in the face of ongoing pressures on premium levels in the property and casualty and workers' compensation areas," commented Mr. Scordelis. "Of equal significance, ABD entered the Oregon market by opening a new office in Eugene during the quarter, continuing ABD's progress in implementing its strategic objective of achieving a preeminent presence and share position on the West Coast." Operating Expenses Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2006 increased to $91.1 million from $84.6 million in the third quarter of 2005. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2006 increased to $91.1 million from $84.5 million in the second quarter of 2006. This expense growth was primarily attributable to the following: -- Write-off of $3.2 million in unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the redemption of trust preferred securities, -- Combined costs of $2.5 million associated with the rebranding of banking identities, consulting costs related to the previously disclosed self-initiated review of historical stock option practices, and outsourcing of the Company's mainframe computer operations, and -- Costs of $1.3 million at ABD related to severance and expenses associated with the opening of its new office in Oregon. Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2006 increased to $267.7 million from $249.7 million for the first nine months of 2005. In addition to the items noted above, expense growth during this period was also attributable to: -- Expenses of $10.2 million representing the full year impact in 2006 of expenses resulting from the Lucini/Parish acquisition in May 2005 and ABD's opening of new office locations in San Diego and Denver, and -- Expenses of $2.3 million due to accelerated vesting of restricted stock and adoption of FAS 123R. "In the current cyclical period of margin and revenue pressure, cost rationalization is clearly of increased importance. As a result of focused expense reduction initiatives currently underway, we fully expect total normalized core operating expenses to decrease in 2007 from actual 2006 levels," stated Mr. Scordelis. Credit Quality Overview Net loan charge-offs in the third quarter of 2006 were $0.2 million, or 0.02% of average loans, annualized, compared to $3.1 million, or 0.26% of average loans, for the third quarter of 2005 and $2.7 million, or 0.23% of average loans, for the second quarter of 2006. Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2006 were $2.9 million, or 0.08% of average loans, annualized, compared to $10.1 million or 0.29% for the same period in 2005. Provision for credit losses was a negative provision of $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2006, compared to a negative provision of $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2005, and a negative provision of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2006. The provision for the first nine months of 2006 was a negative $8.3 million, compared to a negative $2.8 million for the first nine months of 2005. Non-performing assets were $29.7 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $73.1 million at September 30, 2005 and $32.6 million at June 30, 2006. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets was 0.40% at September 30, 2006, compared to 1.03% at September 30, 2005 and 0.44% at June 30, 2006. The ratio of non-accrual loans to total loans was 0.60% at September 30, 2006, compared to 1.53% at September 30, 2005 and 0.68% at June 30, 2006. Allowance for loan and lease losses was $71.3 million, or 1.48% of total loans at September 30, 2006, compared to $92.9 million, or 1.98% of total loans, at September 30, 2005 and $71.7 million, or 1.50% of total loans, at June 30, 2006. "We continue to be pleased with the quality of our credit portfolio," commented Mr. Scordelis. "Non-performing loan levels continued their downward trend, and now stand fully sixty percent below the dollar level of one year ago. Net charge-offs were also extremely well contained. An assessment of these and other key credit metrics gave rise to our decision to favorably adjust our guidance in this area for the full year of 2006," he concluded. Balance Sheet At September 30, 2006, total assets were $7.3 billion, total net loans were $4.8 billion, total securities were $1.6 billion, and total deposits were $5.1 billion. Total loans net of deferred costs and fees increased by $149.6 million from September 30, 2005 to September 30, 2006. This growth reflects increases of $143.4 million in real estate construction and land loans, and $131.0 million in commercial loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases of $70.1 million in the commercial term real estate loan portfolio, $38.6 million in real estate other and $36.9 million in consumer and other loans. Total loans net of deferred costs and fees increased by $61.7 million from June 30, 2006 to September 30, 2006, representing an annualized growth rate of 5.12% for the quarter. This growth reflects an increase of $63.9 in commercial loans and $22.0 million in commercial term real estate loans, partially offset by decreases of $22.7 million in consumer and other loans and $9.0 million in construction and land loans. "We are pleased with our fourth consecutive quarter of core loan expansion, particularly since this growth was once again concentrated in the targeted area of commercial lending. With our specialty finance business activity remaining strong and our community banking business posting tangible growth during the period, we continue to track to the expectations reflected in our existing guidance," indicated Mr. Scordelis. Securities totaled $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2006, compared to $1.5 billion at September 30, 2005 and $1.6 billion at June 30, 2006. Core deposits (excluding institutional and brokered deposits) at September 30, 2006 decreased by $479.8 million compared to September 30, 2005 and decreased by $154.6 million compared to June 30, 2006. According to Mr. Scordelis, "While core deposit levels continue to be affected by the volatility of large specialty accounts and upward pressure on core deposit costs, we are encouraged that money market account totals in our community banking area remained virtually flat during the quarter. Given this overall challenging environment, we have redoubled our focus on steps aimed at ensuring the restoration of well-priced growth in our deposit portfolio," he added. Capital Overview The capital ratios of Greater Bay Bancorp and its subsidiary bank continue to exceed minimum well-capitalized guidelines established by bank regulatory agencies. The Company's common equity to assets ratio was 10.01% at September 30, 2006, compared to 9.43% at September 30, 2005 and 9.66% at June 30, 2006. The Company's tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 6.34% at September 30, 2006, compared to 5.58% at September 30, 2005 and 5.96% at June 30, 2006. Other Matters In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements" (SAB 108). The Company will adopt SAB 108 as of December 31, 2006 and initially apply its provisions using the cumulative effect transition method in connection with the preparation of its annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2006. Upon adoption of SAB 108, the Company expects to increase net income for the year ending December 31, 2006 by approximately $1.3 million and, as of January 1, 2006, record an increase to common stock of approximately $3.4 million and a reduction in retained earnings of approximately $4.7 million. The increase in net income results from the reversal of entries recorded during the first and second quarters of 2006 to correct immaterial errors related to periods prior to 2006. The increase in common stock relates to previously uncorrected errors in recording tax benefits arising from stock option tax deductions during the years 1996 through 2005. Outlook for 2006 Our full year guidance for 2006 has been updated as follows: -- Core Loan Growth - based on the current forecast of moderate economic growth in our primary market area, we anticipate core loan portfolio growth in the mid to high single digit range. -- Core Deposit Growth - we do not currently contemplate a near-term recovery of the core deposit outflow experienced in the first nine months of 2006, and now expect core deposit totals to remain flat for the balance of the year relative to the quarter end balance at September 30, 2006. -- Credit Quality - based on our continued credit risk management and the current economic outlook, we anticipate full year net charge-offs to range from 12 basis points to 15 basis points of average loans outstanding. -- Net Interest Margin - based on the Company's anticipated core loan growth and core deposit stability and its neutral interest rate sensitivity position, we expect the full year margin level to fluctuate in the 4.10% to 4.15% range.
