From the President and CEO

Branch Administration and Corporate Services Departments 

allowed our return to normal operating hours faster than most of 

our competitors. We never had to ask our customers to make an 

appointment to visit a branch.  

The pandemic consumed our workforce both professionally and 

personally. To their credit they were not going to be deterred from 

moving forward on several key initiatives addressed in my letter 
to shareholders last March. Our team knew that broadening our 
message and expanding our brand was long overdue. We embarked 

on a year-long branding project that culminated with a November 

30, 2020 launch of a revised brand including an updated logo to 

reflect the customer experience of banking with First National. 

One of the most important principles at First National will always 

remain the same, a “Customer First” attitude highlighted by our 
new tagline, Go First. Go FarSM.

First of Long Island CorporationTo Our Shareholders:To say the least, my first year as President and Chief Executive Officer of The First National Bank of Long Island was not as expected. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we quickly reallocated resources from organic growth initiatives to relief efforts in our markets. First National’s team pulled together to provide the essential services our customers need. We originated $171 million in first draw Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans for our customers and provided over $600 million of loan payment deferrals to help them manage through the unprecedented challenges. For the safety of our employees, customers and the communities we serve, we adjusted branch operating hours allowing for social distancing and completed modifications of our branch interiors with appropriate personal protective equipment. The hard work and dedication of our One of the most important principles at First National will

Alongside the distinctive branding we rolled out an interactive 

Digital banking proved to be a lifeline for customers during the 

custom designed website to better support our customers’ 

pandemic. We took pride in seeing our customers migrate to our 

electronic banking services and digital banking needs. As 

easy to use electronic products especially our mobile app. Mobile 

banking customers utilize online delivery channels to access 

deposit volumes tripled during the height of the shutdown and 

services and information 24/7, the customer experience must

Our plan to identify inefficiencies in our existing footprint 

and expand geographically through de novo branching made 

significant progress in 2020. We opened our first branch in 

eastern Suffolk County at 140 Main Street in Riverhead. We will 

complement that opening with a branch in East Hampton where 

provide additional customer flexibility in transferring funds both 

internally and externally. Responding to customer and employee 

feedback, we added the ability to access account statements 

through our mobile app. Another mobile app upgrade, and a 

personal favorite, is the auto-capture feature when taking a photo 

of checks being deposited.

Island Expressway and Route 110. The Bank’s Main Office will 
remain where the Bank was founded in Glen Head, New York.

In the middle of preparing the announcements for the exciting 
changes outlined above, First National was named the best 
small bank in New York State by Newsweek. In a partnership 
with LendingTree to create the Best Banks rankings, Newsweek 
evaluated more than 2,500 FDIC-insured financial institutions. 
They assessed U.S. banks by looking at 55 separate elements of 
loans, and savings and checking accounts to determine a “best-
in-class” option in 19 categories, including the best big and small 
bank in every state. This unsolicited award is a testament to our 
dedicated employees.

Speaking of our employees, they have been extraordinary during 
this pandemic. Not only did they support the completion of the 
initiatives outlined in this letter, their dedication and caring for 
our customers was amazing. They worked “around the clock” to 
get PPP loan approvals for customers. They serviced customers by 
passing documents under doors and through drive-up windows. 
They helped customers from home, through electronic meetings 
and by safely meeting outside. They actively pursued additional 
electronic access to customer information, email and virtual 
meetings to meet the needs of our customers. They remain the 
backbone of our Bank.

The movement for social justice in our country gained significant 
momentum this past year. Increasing diversity in employment 
practices is often cited as a fundamental start to leveling the 
wealth gap and fighting structural racism. The workforce at First 
National is diverse in gender, race, ethnicity and backgrounds. 
We recognize that we need to be part of the solution. Along 
with taking actions to diversify our workforce and leadership, as 
bankers we have an obligation to ensure our lending practices are 
fair and treat all people without disparity. Our community service 
programs must reach the communities most in need to educate on 
financial literacy, business and home ownership, and learning to 
save and invest. Equal opportunity to health, homeownership and 
education is an essential right for all citizens. 

The events of 2020 seemed to overshadow the normal focus on 
financial performance. Among all the disruption and change, 
we did not abandon our fiscal responsibility to shareholders. We 
posted record earnings per share in 2020 of $1.72, from $1.67 

in 2019. We continued to shift our mix of loans from residential 
to commercial. Residential mortgage prepayments exceeded 
expectations due to historical low rates, resulting in a reduction in 
outstanding balances of approximately $300 million. By adding 
resources to existing lending and credit teams, we were able to 
show modest growth in our commercial loan portfolio excluding 
PPP loans. During a year where the industry experienced 
tremendous pressure on net interest margins, we actively managed 
liability costs and increased our net interest margin to 2.64% in 
2020 from 2.57% in 2019. Net income in 2020 totaled $41.2 
million, down slightly from $41.6 million in 2019. Return on 
equity was 10.47% and return on assets was 1.00%, comparable 
to 10.61% and .99%, respectively, in 2019. Book value per share 
increased to $17.11 at year end 2020 from $16.26 at year end 
2019. Cash dividends per share increased to $.74 from $.70 in 
2019. The Bank is well-positioned to move forward. 

I must recognize 43 years of service by Howard Thomas Hogan 
Jr., Esq. Tom retires from our Board of Directors effective with 
our 2021 Annual Meeting. He joined the Board of Directors of 
the Bank in 1978 and the Board of Directors of the Company 
upon its incorporation in 1984. His tenure spanned four CEOs, 
included growth in total assets from $66 million to over $4 billion 
and an increase in branches from 6 to 47. Tom’s knowledge of 
our local markets and his personal relationships with numerous 
customers added to his value as a director. We are grateful to Tom 
for his service and dedication and wish him the best.

I stated last year that our organization is spirited and resilient. 
Little did I know how much those traits would be tested in 2020. 
Our Board of Directors transitioned to virtual meetings and 
continued to provide their valuable insight and oversight. Our 
management group, always a hard-working team, set a new bar for 
effort. I thank our customers, long term and new, for their loyalty, 
trust and understanding under very difficult circumstances. 

To our shareholders, increasing shareholder value remains our 
top priority.

Sincerely,

Christopher Becker 
President and Chief Executive Officer

First of Long Island Corporation2020 Annual ReportNew Branding

As the pandemic began its course in early 2020, 
First National Bank LI remained focused on a 
positive future. After a year of work by many 
talented people, we launched our new brand and 
message on November 30, 2020. With a history of 
93 years of service and growth, we embraced the 
need to present the modern professional character 
of the Bank. Our team of collaborators were 
tasked with building on the breadth and depth 
of our up-to-date “Customer First” mindset. We 
created the new brand elements to incorporate 
our strong history of service and culture. The 

bedrock of the Bank has always been the customer 
experience. Our goal was to communicate that we 
are forward-thinking and ever improving.

The tagline “Go First. Go Far.SM” communicates 
the relationship of First National Bank LI with 
customers’ financial goals and beyond. “Go First” 
invites customers to choose First National as their 
financial partner. More importantly, the “Go Far” 
reinforces our commitment to customer success. 

Rolling out a user friendly and custom website 
became a priority to support our new brand. 
Our ads, website and social media presence now 

focus on the “Let’s Connect” theme. The online 
world is a 24/7 environment offering access to 
communication and transactions wherever and 
whenever our customers need to interact with 
the Bank. Again, “Let’s Connect” is a friendly 
invitation and acknowledgment that we are 
available. We continue to strive for new, innovative 
and extraordinary ways to provide the exemplary 
service our bankers are known for delivering.

to create the Best Banks rankings. More than

big and small banks in every state.

We were proud to be named the Best Small Bank in 
New York State and recognized among America’s

employees for earning this special distinction.

COVID-19

First National Bank LI successfully navigated 
the immediate pressures of the COVID-19 crisis 
in 2020. Never did our purpose of providing 
a “Customer First” experience resonate as 
profoundly as it has in the last year. It holds truer 
in this moment, more than ever before, as we 
continue to focus on our customer needs to help 
them recover from the impact of the pandemic.

In early March of 2020, life around the world 
changed dramatically. No one could have planned 
for the complexity of challenges and levels of 
uncertainty that COVID-19 presented. As 
essential workers, our employees served customers 
throughout the pandemic. The human element 
of empathy and understanding the personal 
situations of our customers always remained. 

The Bank created a Pandemic Committee to 
quickly implement the necessary protocols to 

minimize the spread of the virus. Our top priority 
was the health and well-being of our customers, 
employees and communities. Protective measures 
were put in place including enhanced cleaning 
procedures, quarantines, employees working 
remotely, mandatory use of face masks and social 
distancing programs. Our employees worked with 
confidence and our customers banked securely 
knowing that First National stood behind them, 
with robust safety measures.

We are grateful to all our employees who 
were essential workers during the pandemic. 
Together, they became stronger. No matter 
what the circumstances were, a day did not go 
by where the customer did not come “first.”  
Appointments were not required, and the 
convenience of our digital products allowed 
them to continue with their daily transactions. 
Our branch bankers made themselves available 
whether it was over the phone, virtual meeting, 
in a branch or at one of our drive-up windows. 
Our priority was to keep all our customers and 
essential workers safe and healthy. 

During the pandemic, the Bank launched a social 
media campaign named #FNBLISTRONG. It 
announced our solidarity with our customers 
and the communities that we serve. It is more 
than just a hashtag. It demonstrated how the 
positive response of our employees allowed 
us as an organization to continue to execute 
our strategic plan during an unprecedented 
operating environment. It further cemented 
the “We are in this together” company-wide 
mindset. In the fluid environment of ever-
changing virus information, our front-line and 
back-office employees displayed incredible 
resilience. Through it all, they were focused, 

dedicated and, most importantly, STRONG. 
Thank you to everyone for your enormous 
effort. The Bank’s performance this past year 
represented a team effort from all our employees 
who worked tirelessly to meet the expectations 
of our customers and our shareholders.

Supporting Our Local Communities

First National Bank LI served as a financial 
lifeline for businesses and individuals in 
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our 
bankers worked 24/7, even on Sundays and 
during holidays, to help businesses access vital 
Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans from 
the Small Business Administration. PPP loans 
provided small businesses with funds to pay 
employees during the slowdown in business or 
temporary closures related to stay-at-home orders 
during the pandemic. We channeled loans to 
the neighborhoods where our depositors lived 
and worked, which helped local businesses and 
communities survive. 

Our bankers took time to listen to the individual 
circumstances of our customers which truly 
speaks to why Relationship Banking is so 
important. Understanding our customers’ needs 
allowed First National to provide targeted loan 
payment relief through loan modifications for 
those businesses and individuals experiencing 
financial hardship.

Giving back to communities has always been a 
part of who we are as a bank. Undaunted by the 
pandemic, our employees stepped up to serve 
others affected by COVID-19. Our corporate 
mantra, as always, is “do the right thing.”
