HOUSTON, TX USA
    HOUSTON, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Coastal Bancorp, Inc.
(Nasdaq: CBSA) and subsidiaries ("Coastal") today reported net income
available to common stockholders of $3.3 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003, compared to $5.7 million for the same period in 2002.  The
$2.4 million decrease in net income available to common stockholders was
largely due to the following: a $4.7 million decrease in noninterest income (a
$4.4 million gain had been recorded in December 2002 in connection with the
sale of five Central Texas branches), and a $2.1 million decrease in net
interest income, offset by a $2.5 million decrease in the provision for loan
losses, a $1.1 million decrease in the provision for Federal income taxes and
a $99,000 decrease in noninterest expense.  In addition, dividends on
preferred stock decreased $627,000 due to the July 31, 2003 redemption of the
9.12% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock of Coastal Bancorp, Inc.
("Bancorp").  Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003 were $0.60, compared to $1.05 for the same period in 2002.
The weighted average common shares outstanding used in the diluted earnings
per share calculations for the periods were 5,455,044 and 5,394,484,
respectively.  Basic earnings per share for the quarter ended
December 31, 2003 were $0.62 compared to $1.10 for the same period in 2002.
    On December 2, 2003 Coastal announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement with Hibernia Corporation (NYSE: HIB) pursuant to which Hibernia
would acquire Coastal by means of a merger and pay cash in the amount of
$41.50 per share for each share of Coastal common stock issued and outstanding
and $41.50 less the exercise price for each option to acquire a share of
Coastal common stock.  The merger transaction is subject to regulatory
approvals, the approval of Coastal's stockholders and other customary
conditions to closing.  It is expected to close in the second quarter of 2004.

    Comparison for the Three Months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002

    Noninterest Income
    The $4.7 million decrease in noninterest income was primarily due to the
sale of five branches in Central Texas that resulted in a gain of $4.4 million
in December of 2002.  Other decreases included a $359,000 decrease in the gain
on sale of loans due to the December 2002 sale of a group of loans with
servicing rights retained and a $254,000 decrease in other noninterest income
due to a $229,000 gain recorded on the sale of branch real estate properties.
These decreases were somewhat offset by increases of $237,000 and $191,000 in
the gain on sale of real estate owned and mortgage-backed securities available
for sale, respectively, resulting from sales in the fourth quarter of 2003.

    Net Interest Income
    Net interest income decreased $2.1 million as a result of a 0.41% decrease
in net interest margin.  Net interest margin decreased from 2.87% to 2.46%
when comparing the fourth quarter of 2003 to the same period in 2002.  This
decrease was due primarily to principal paydowns on mortgage-backed securities
and single-family mortgage loans receivable, amortization of the related
premiums and the replacement of assets at lower yields (interest rates).  The
decrease in net interest margin was comprised of a decrease in the average
yield on interest-earning assets from 5.25% to 4.33%, offset somewhat by a
decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities from 2.64% to
2.09%.  During 2003, Coastal experienced significant principal paydowns on its
mortgage-backed securities and single-family mortgage loans receivable
portfolios (on an annualized basis, approximately 38% on mortgage-backed
securities and approximately 39% on single-family mortgage loans) due to the
continuing low market rates of interest and the resulting refinancing of
mortgage assets.  Because the majority of Coastal's single-family mortgage
assets were acquired through bulk purchases at a premium, the significant
paydowns Coastal experienced resulted in greater premium amortization (and
therefore a lower yield) on those purchased assets.  When comparing the fourth
quarter of 2003 to the same period in 2002, the average yield on loans
decreased from 5.74% to 4.88% and the average yield on mortgage-backed
securities decreased from 3.46% to 2.64%.

    Provision for Loan Losses
    During the quarter ended December 31, 2003, Coastal recorded a provision
for loan losses of $600,000 compared to $3.1 million for the same period in
2002.  The $600,000 provision recorded in the fourth quarter of 2003 is
$300,000 less than the previous three quarters based upon the current level of
unallocated reserves.  The provision recorded in 2002 was due to management's
reevaluation of the overall allowance for loan losses and the changes in the
mix of Coastal's loan portfolio, in addition to certain specific loans in the
portfolio that warranted greater attention and specific allocations of the
allowance for loan losses.  While management believes that it has adequately
provided for loan losses, it will continue to monitor the loan portfolio and
make adjustments to the allowance for loan losses as it considers necessary.

    Noninterest Expense and Provision for Federal Income Taxes
    When comparing the fourth quarter of 2003 to the same period a year
earlier, the $99,000 decrease in noninterest expense was due primarily to a
decrease in advertising expense of $214,000, offset by smaller changes in
other expense categories.  The provision for Federal income taxes decreased
$1.1 million primarily due to the lower amount of income before Federal income
taxes, with the effective tax rate being approximately 35% for the quarter
ended December 31, 2003 and 31% for the same period in 2002.  The provision
for Federal income taxes for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 includes a
tax benefit of $219,000 received from the dividends on the Series A Preferred
Stock of Coastal Bancorp, Inc.  This benefit ceased upon redemption of the
Bancorp Preferred Stock on July 31, 2003.

    Asset Quality
    As shown in the "Other Financial Data" table attached, at
December 31, 2003, Coastal had nonperforming loans totaling $20.3 million,
which was a $1.7 million, or 9.3%, increase when compared to
December 31, 2002.  Nonperforming loans are those loans on nonaccrual status
as well as those loans greater than ninety (90) days delinquent and still
accruing interest.  At December 31, 2003, nonperforming assets (which include
nonperforming loans, real estate owned and repossessed assets) were
$22.8 million and the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.85%.
At December 31, 2002, nonperforming assets were $23.0 million and the ratio of
nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.91%.  At December 31, 2003,
$10.3 million, or 51%, of the nonperforming loans were first lien residential
(single-family) mortgage loans, $6.0 million, or 29%, were acquisition and
development  loans, $902,000, or 4%, were commercial real estate loans,
$2.9 million, or 14%, were commercial, financial and industrial loans, with
the balance in other loan categories.  Of the nonperforming acquisition and
development loans outstanding at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, two
loans to the same borrower made up $5.4 million of the total at
December 31, 2003 and $5.5 million of the total at December 31, 2002.  At
December 31, 2003, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of
nonperforming loans (excluding nonperforming loans held for sale which are
recorded at the lower of cost or fair value) was 95.7% compared to 97.7% at
December 31, 2002.

    Trust Preferred Securities
    On June 23, 2003, Bancorp, through Coastal Capital Trust II ("CCTII"),
issued to a private institutional investor, 10,000 floating rate trust
preferred securities ("Trust Preferred Securities II") with a liquidation
preference of $1,000 per security.  The Trust Preferred Securities II
represent an interest in the related junior subordinated notes of Bancorp,
which were purchased by CCTII and have substantially the same payment terms as
the Trust Preferred Securities II.  The junior subordinated notes are the only
assets of CCTII and interest payments from the notes finance the distributions
paid on the Trust Preferred Securities II.  Distributions on the securities
are payable quarterly at a variable interest rate, reset quarterly, equal to
LIBOR plus 3.05%.
    On December 31, 2003, the Company retroactively implemented FASB
Interpretation No. 46R, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an
interpretation of ARB No. 51, resulting in the deconsolidation of CCTII as
well as Coastal Capital Trust I established in 2002, both of which were
created for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities.  The
implementation of this Interpretation resulted in Bancorp's $1.9 million
investment in the common equity of the two trusts being included in the
consolidated balance sheets as other assets, and the interest income and
interest expense received from and paid to the trusts, respectively, being
included in the consolidated statements of income as interest income and
interest expense.  The increase to other interest income and interest expense
totaled $146,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $74,000 for the year
ended December 31, 2002.

    Redemption of Bancorp Series A Preferred Stock
    On July 31, 2003, Bancorp redeemed all of its 9.12% Series A Cumulative
Preferred Stock (1,100,000 shares) from stockholders of record on July 31,
2003 at par plus accrued but unpaid dividends to the redemption date.

    Redemption of Senior Notes
    On February 1, 2002, Bancorp redeemed all of its 10.0% Senior Notes
($43.9 million) outstanding, at par plus accrued interest to the redemption
date.

    Comparison for the Years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002
    Net income available to common stockholders for the year ended
December 31, 2003 was $12.0 million compared to $17.2 million for 2002.
Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2003 were
$2.22 compared to $2.99 for 2002.  The weighted average common shares
outstanding used in the diluted earnings per share calculations for the
periods were 5,406,697 and 5,750,531, respectively.  Basic earnings per share
for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $2.31 compared to $3.13 for 2002.
    When comparing the year ended December 31, 2003 to the year ended
December 31, 2002, the primary contributor to the decrease in net income
available to common stockholders was decreased net interest income.  Net
interest income decreased $11.9 million from 2002 to 2003 as a result of a
0.52% decrease in net interest margin.  When comparing the two periods, net
interest margin decreased from 3.04% to 2.52%.  The decrease in net interest
margin was comprised of a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning
assets from 5.60% to 4.58%, offset somewhat by a decrease in the average rate
on interest-bearing liabilities from 2.86% to 2.30%.  As noted earlier, during
2003 Coastal experienced significant principal paydowns on its mortgage-backed
securities and single-family mortgage loans receivable portfolios due to the
continuing low market rates of interest and the resulting refinancing of
mortgage assets.  These paydowns were approximately 43% on Coastal's mortgage-
backed securities and 48% on Coastal's single-family mortgage loans during the
year ended December 31, 2003.  Since the majority of Coastal's single-family
mortgage assets had been acquired primarily through bulk purchases at a
premium, the significant paydowns Coastal experienced resulted in greater
premium amortization (and therefore a lower yield) on those purchased assets.
When comparing the year ended December 31, 2003 to the year ended
December 31, 2002, the average yield on loans decreased from 6.16% to 5.13%
and the average yield on mortgage-backed securities decreased from 3.66% to
2.78%.
    In addition to the $11.9 million decrease in net interest income,
noninterest income decreased by $1.8 million.  These decreases were somewhat
offset by a $2.5 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, a
$2.6 million decrease in the provision for Federal income taxes, a
$1.5 million decrease in the expense for minority interest (related to
preferred stock of Coastal Banc ssb which was redeemed on July 15, 2002) and
an $824,000 decrease in noninterest expense.  As previously noted, dividends
on preferred stock decreased $1.0 million due to the redemption of the 9.12%
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock on July 31, 2003.
    The $1.8 million decrease in noninterest income was comprised of the gains
recorded in 2002 of $4.4 million from the sale of the five Central Texas
branches, $359,000 from the loans sold with servicing rights retained and
$229,000 from the sale of branch real estate properties.  These decreases were
somewhat offset by a $2.1 million increase in service charges on deposit
accounts, an $802,000 increase in the gain on sale of mortgage loans held for
sale and a $493,000 increase in the gain on sale of mortgage-backed securities
available for sale.  The increased income from service charges on deposit
accounts is due to Coastal's continued focus on increasing transaction-type
accounts and the related fee income, including Coastal's Free Checking and
Bounce Protection features on retail checking accounts introduced during
August 2002.  The increase in the gain on sale of mortgage loans held for sale
was due to routine sales transactions in 2003 by Coastal Banc ssb (the
"Bank"), which were facilitated by Coastal Banc Mortgage Corp. ("CBMC"), an
affiliate of the Bank.  The loans sold were purchased by the Bank in packages
with the intention to resell all or part of the loans in the packages to third
parties.  CBMC was formed during the third quarter of 2002 for the purpose of
facilitating the purchase and sale of whole loans and participations to third
parties.
    The $824,000 decrease in noninterest expense was due to decreases of
$1.1 million in compensation, payroll taxes and other benefits, $705,000 in
advertising and $398,000 in office occupancy, offset by a $1.3 million
increase in other noninterest expense.  The $1.1 million decrease in
compensation related expenses is primarily comprised of the following: a
$571,000 decrease due to the sale of the five Hill Country branches in
December of 2002, a $437,000 decrease due to the outsourcing of the internal
audit department in September of 2002 and decreases of $129,000, $112,000 and
$84,000 in group insurance, hiring expense and contract labor, respectively.
These decreases were partially offset by a $288,000 increase in compensation
paid to CBMC employees including brokerage commissions related to the loan
sales mentioned previously.  The decrease in advertising expense was due to
management's decision to reduce this spending in 2003 and the decrease in
office occupancy was due to the sale of the five Hill Country branches in
December of 2002 and to various assets becoming fully depreciated in 2002 and
in 2003.  The increase in other noninterest expense was primarily comprised of
the following: a $337,000 increase in audit and accounting fees due to the
outsourcing of internal audit, a $409,000 increase in legal fees and insurance
premiums and a $561,000 increase in expenses related to loans, repossessed
assets and real estate owned.  The provision for Federal income taxes
decreased $2.6 million due to the lower amount of income before Federal income
taxes and minority interest, with the effective tax rate being approximately
33% for 2003 and 32% for the same period in 2002 (when taking into account the
tax benefit for the minority interest expense in 2002).  The provision for
Federal income taxes includes the tax benefit received from the dividends on
the Series A Preferred Stock of Coastal Bancorp, Inc. of $514,000 and
$878,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  This
benefit ceased upon redemption of the Bancorp Preferred Stock on
July 31, 2003.

    Common Stock Repurchase
    As of December 31, 2003, a total of 2,746,110 shares of common stock were
held in treasury at an average price of $19.53 per share for a total cost of
$53.6 million.

    The Company
    At December 31, 2003, Coastal had total assets of approximately
$2.7 billion, deposits of approximately $1.7 billion and common stockholders'
equity of approximately $133.7 million.
