2017 Annual Report  1

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,

2017 was noteworthy 

because we celebrated our 
90th anniversary. The Bank 
opened its doors in October 
1927 at 10 Glen Head Road, 
Glen Head, New York as  
The First National Bank of 
Glen Head. We changed our 
name to The First National 
Bank of Long Island in 1978. 
The name change symbolized 
our strategy to expand our 
distribution system throughout 
the Long Island market.   

2  The First of Long Island Corporation

Our original headquarters was less than 2,000 square feet. 
What drove the opening of the Bank was a dissatisfaction 
with the personal service being provided by the large  
banks of that time. It was time to create an “alternative” to 
the big banks.

Today we see ourselves no differently as we position our 
brand of banking as the “big bank alternative.” When it 
comes down to it, many banks are the same in terms of 
product and service offerings. We believe today as we 
did in 1927 that over the long-term the only thing that 
will differentiate one bank from another is the quality of 
“personal” service rendered by its employees. That service 
ethic is embodied in the culture of the organization. It is 
reinforced each and every day by the senior management 
team of the Bank.

I am grateful to the dedicated employees of The First 
National Bank of Long Island. They are a talented and 
motivated group of individuals who live in and are an 
integral part of the fabric of the communities they serve. 
On a daily basis, they routinely exceed my expectations 
ensuring clients receive superior service. They have made 
our institution a warm, friendly place to bank and it is my 
pleasure to work beside them on a daily basis. I am proud 
to say we have delivered this kind of service approach for 
the last 90 years. I truly believe our culture and friendly 
approach helps drive shareholder value.

On that note, I am pleased to report another year of strong 
financial performance for our bank. Net Income for 2017 
was $35.1 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 13.7%, over 
2016. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in net 
interest income of $10.4 million, or 12.1%, and noninterest 
income, before security gains and losses, of $1.2 million, 
or 15.8%. The increase in net interest income is mainly 
attributable to growth in average interest-earning assets of 
$335.6 million, or 10.4%, which was driven by an increase in 
the average balance of loans of $393.9 million or 16.7%. Our 
loan growth occurred in commercial and residential mortgage 
loans and, to a lesser degree, commercial and industrial loans. 
Our loan growth was mainly funded by growing our deposits 
through the continued expansion of our branch distribution 
system, targeted solicitation efforts, delivery of high quality 
personalized service and offering a competitive product suite.

I am also pleased to report that the average balance of our 
noninterest-bearing checking deposits grew 10.2%. We 
consider the checking account to be the primary relationship 
account, and growth in this product category demonstrates 
the genuine franchise value that we continue to build for  
our investors. Robust growth in deposits and earning assets 
is essential in a challenging interest rate environment.

Some other significant highlights include the continued 
increase in our cash dividends per share which increased 
5.5% to $.58 this year from $.55. Over the years, the 
continued and consistent increases in our cash dividends 
demonstrates the confidence that management and the 
Board have in the Bank’s future earnings power. We remain 
confident in our organic growth strategy. Over the last ten 
years, our net income increased at a compound annual 
growth rate (“CAGR”) of 11.8%. We are proud of our results.

In the process of growing earnings, our book value per 
share increased 11.4% to $14.37 at December 31, 2017 from 
$12.90 at December 31, 2016.  In our opinion, the growth in 
our book value is a strong indicator of the shareholder value 
we are creating. Over the last ten years, our book value per 
share has grown at a CAGR of 8.9%. Book value growth 
over the long-term is consistent with how we manage the 
Bank. We do not focus on short-term performance. We do 
not manage the Bank on a day-to-day or quarter-to-quarter 
basis. It is always about our performance over the long-
term. It is interesting to note that our stock’s total return, 
including dividend reinvestment, for the 15-year period 
ended December 31, 2017 is 410%. 

Our growth and profitability has been enhanced by the 
expansion of our branch distribution system. We believe in 
branches. As we enter new micro-markets within the New 
York Metropolitan area, our branches have been the catalyst 
for gaining market share. Their locations and design are 
well thought out in terms of the target markets we serve, the 
amount of capital we invest and efficiency of our expense 
base. During the year, we opened four more branches. 
These include our East Islip and East Setauket locations in 
Suffolk County opened in February and July and our Little 
Neck and Astoria locations in Queens opened in December. 
The Astoria branch was our sixth location in the boroughs  
of Queens and Brooklyn. As these boroughs are lucrative 

2017 Annual Report  3

retail banking markets, we plan to open three or four more 
branches there before the end of 2018 and are committed 
to continued expansion in the coming years. We anticipate 
gaining market-share in the process which will drop to 
the bottom line. Our model remains utilizing continued 
branch expansion to fund loan growth with core deposits 
and maintaining pristine credit quality and best-in-class 
operating efficiency. This approach remains valid and has 
been driving shareholder value.

The conservative mix of the earning assets on our balance 
sheet is measured by our asset quality. In a flat yield curve 
environment, asset quality is paramount. At December 31,  
2017, our nonaccrual loans amounted to $1 million,  
or 3 basis points of total loans outstanding, compared 
to $2.6 million, or 10 basis points at December 31, 2016. 
Troubled debt restructurings amounted to $1 million, or 
4 basis points of total loans outstanding at December 31, 
2017, representing a decrease of $498,000 from year-end 
2016. Loans past due 30 to 89 days amounted to only  
$2.8 million, or 9 basis points of total loans outstanding. 
Any way you look at it, our loan quality remains excellent.

The credit quality of the Bank’s securities also remains 
excellent. 74% of our mortgage securities are full faith and 
credit obligations of the U.S. government. The balance 
are obligations of government-sponsored entities. The 
remainder of the Bank’s securities portfolio principally 
consists of high quality, general obligation municipal 
securities rated AA or better by major rating agencies. In 
buying municipal securities, the Bank uses credit agency 
ratings for screening purposes only and then performs 
its own credit analysis. On an ongoing basis, the bank 
periodically assesses the credit strength of the municipal 
securities in its portfolio and makes decisions to hold or 
sell our securities based on such assessments.

We will face a variety of challenges in 2018 and beyond. 
In the current interest rate environment, competitive 
market forces are driving up our cost of deposits while 
yields on our earning assets are not expected to increase 
as quickly or as much. As a result, our net interest margin 
will remain under pressure and our net interest income 
and corresponding earnings will only be able to increase 
with appropriate growth. Price competition will remain 
a significant factor especially as we compete for core 
deposits and high quality loans.

The banking industry continues to face new and complex 
regulatory requirements and enhanced supervisory 
oversight which is exerting downward pressure on revenues 
and upward pressure on required capital levels and the 
cost of doing business. Although the markets are expecting 
some regulatory relief, the timing and magnitude of that 
remains uncertain.

Despite these challenges, the Bank has been able to 
produce long-term results that we are proud of. We have 
assembled a talented management team and a dedicated 
staff. Expenses are well-managed, and our asset quality is 
among the best in our peer group. We continue to grow 
organically in a measured and disciplined way. The morale 
of our employees is high, and they are proud of the Bank. 
This has certainly worked in our favor in building brand 
and reputation in the market. Our board, myself, our senior 
management and our employees remain committed to 
building long-term franchise value and the shareholder 
value that you are entitled to.

It is my distinct honor to be your President and Chief 
Executive Officer. Always feel free to contact me to answer 
any questions you may have. 

We are serious about maintaining our credit quality. As 
bankers, we believe that conservatism is essential to 
producing consistently strong financial results and creating 
long-term shareholder value.

Sincerely,

Michael N. Vittorio 
President and Chief Executive Officer
