Provident Financial Services, Inc. Announces Increased Second Quarter Earnings and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend
ISELIN, NJ, July 31, 2015 - Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) (the “Company”) reported net income of $21.8 million, or $0.35 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to net income of $16.4 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $41.6 million, or $0.66 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $33.4 million, or $0.57 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.
Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were driven by year-over-year growth in both average loans outstanding and average non-interest bearing deposits, growth in non-interest income and further improvement in asset quality. These factors helped mitigate the impact of compression in the net interest margin.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred non-recurring items associated with the April 1, 2015 acquisition of The MDE Group and the equity interests of Acertus Capital Management, LLC (collectively “MDE”), and the May 30, 2014 acquisition of Team Capital Bank (“Team Capital”). The prior year periods were further impacted by a non-cash charge resulting from the recognition of a pro rata portion of unrealized losses related to lump sum distributions from the Company's frozen pension plan. Excluding these non-recurring items, core earnings(1) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $22.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, and $41.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, respectively, compared to $18.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and $35.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
Christopher Martin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Our strong second quarter performance was bolstered by solid loan growth, as well as an increase in wealth management revenues from our recently completed acquisition of MDE. Further increases in fee income drove record revenues for the quarter, and asset quality metrics also continued to improve.” Martin continued: “Notwithstanding an increase in our level of non-interest bearing deposits, margin pressure continued as we contend with the current low level of market rates and position our balance sheet for an eventual rising rate environment.”
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share payable on August 28, 2015, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 14, 2015.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased $228.0 million to $8.75 billion at June 30, 2015, from $8.52 billion at December 31, 2014, primarily due to a $222.8 million increase in total loans and a $28.5 million increase in intangible assets, partially offset by a $32.5 million decrease in total investments.
The Company’s loan portfolio increased $222.8 million, or 3.7%, to $6.31 billion at June 30, 2015, from $6.09 billion at December 31, 2014. Loan originations totaled $1.27 billion and loan purchases totaled $49.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The loan portfolio had net increases of $128.7 million in multi-family mortgage loans, $80.2 million in construction loans and $44.6 million in commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by net decreases of $21.6 million in consumer loans, $7.6 million in commercial loans and $1.5 million in residential mortgage loans. Commercial real estate, commercial and construction loans represented 70.8% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2015, compared to 69.4% at December 31, 2014.
At June 30, 2015, the Company’s unfunded loan commitments totaled $1.22 billion, including commitments of $528.7 million in commercial loans, $256.3 million in construction loans and $123.3 million in commercial mortgage loans. Unfunded loan commitments at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014 were $1.21 billion and $1.13 billion, respectively.
Total investments decreased $32.5 million, or 2.0%, to $1.58 billion at June 30, 2015, from $1.61 billion at December 31, 2014, largely due to principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, maturities of municipal
1
and agency bonds and sales of certain mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by purchases of mortgage-backed and municipal securities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, intangible assets increased $28.5 million, primarily related to the acquisition of MDE, partially offset by scheduled amortization.
Total deposits increased $21.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, to $5.81 billion. Total core deposits, which consist of savings and demand deposit accounts, increased $51.4 million to $5.02 billion at June 30, 2015, while time deposits decreased $29.8 million to $795.9 million at June 30, 2015. The increase in core deposits was largely attributable to growth in non-interest bearing demand deposits, which increased $92.4 million to $1.14 billion at June 30, 2015. The increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits was partially offset by a $23.4 million decrease in interest bearing demand deposits, a $10.3 million decrease in money market deposits and a $7.2 million decrease in savings deposits. Core deposits represented 86.3% of total deposits at June 30, 2015, compared to 85.7% at December 31, 2014.
Borrowed funds increased $174.7 million, or 11.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2015, to $1.68 billion. Borrowed funds represented 19.2% of total assets at June 30, 2015, an increase from 17.7% at December 31, 2014.
Stockholders’ equity increased $23.0 million, or 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, to $1.17 billion, due to net income earned for the period, partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders and a decrease in unrealized gains on securities available for sale. Common stock repurchases made in connection with withholding to cover income taxes on stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled 105,735 shares at an average cost of $18.27 per share. At June 30, 2015, 3.3 million shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current authorization. Book value per share and tangible book value per share(1) at June 30, 2015 were $17.88 and $11.25, respectively, compared with $17.63 and $11.40, respectively, at December 31, 2014. The decrease in tangible book value per share at June 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014, was due to an increase in goodwill and other intangibles related to the acquisition of MDE.

The improvement in net interest income for the comparative periods was due to growth in average loans outstanding resulting from loans acquired from Team Capital and organic originations and increases in average non-interest bearing demand deposits, partially offset by period-over-period compression in the net interest margin.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $16.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $6.6 million, or 64.1%, compared to the same period in 2014. Wealth management income increased $2.6 million, to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in wealth management income was primarily attributable to fees earned from assets under management acquired in the MDE transaction. Fee income increased $2.1 million to $7.2 million, from $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, largely due to a $1.1 million increase in commercial loan prepayment fee income, a $428,000 increase in ATM and debit card revenue and a $405,000 increase in overdraft fees. Other income increased $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to $2.1 million of net fees from loan level interest rate swap transactions executed during the current quarter, partially offset by a non-recurring $486,000 net gain on the prepayment of FHLB borrowings acquired from Team Capital which was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2014. In addition, net gains on securities transactions increased $533,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, non-interest income totaled $27.2 million, an increase of $8.8 million, or 47.7%, compared to the same period in 2014. Fee income increased $3.4 million to $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the same period in 2014, largely due to a $2.1 million increase in prepayment fees on commercial loans, a $583,000 increase in ATM and debit card revenue and a $482,000 increase in overdraft fees. Wealth management income increased $3.1 million to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, largely due to $2.4 million of fees resulting from the MDE acquisition, combined with $660,000 of increased fee income from the Company's existing wealth business. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest income, other income increased $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the same period in 2014, primarily due to $2.3 million of fees recognized on loan level interest rate swaps, partially offset by a non-recurring $486,000 net gain recognized on the prepayment of FHLB borrowings acquired from Team Capital in the prior year period. Net gains on securities transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased $885,000 compared to the same period in 2014.
Non-Interest Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2015, non-interest expense increased $2.4 million to $46.1 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. Net occupancy costs increased $954,000, to $6.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to same quarter in 2014, due to additional costs related to facilities acquired from Team Capital and increased depreciation expense. Compensation and benefits expense increased $833,000 to $24.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, largely due to a $2.1 million increase in salary expense primarily associated with the addition of former MDE and Team Capital employees for the full quarter of 2015, along with higher salary expense resulting from annual merit increases. The increase in salary expense was partially offset by a decrease in severance and retention expense related to the Team Capital acquisition in the prior year quarter, a decrease in stock-based compensation and a reduction in pension expense resulting from the $1.3 million lump-sum pension distribution made to vested terminated employees in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, amortization of intangibles increased $605,000 to $1.1 million for quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared to $519,000 for the same period in 2014, principally
3
due to an increase in the core deposit intangible amortization related to the Team Capital acquisition and an increase in the customer relationship intangible amortization related to the acquisition of MDE. Data processing expense increased $398,000 to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2014, principally due to increases in software maintenance costs and telecommunication expenses. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, other operating expenses decreased $770,000 to $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $9.0 million for the same period in 2014. This decrease was largely due to $1.7 million of non-recurring professional services and customer communication costs related to the Team Capital acquisition incurred in the second quarter of 2014, partially offset by $413,000 of non-recurring professional services costs associated with the MDE transaction in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, and an increase in non-performing asset related expenses.
The Company’s annualized core non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets(1) was 2.12% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared with 2.06% for the same period in 2014. The efficiency ratio (core non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and core non-interest income)(1) was 58.14% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, compared with 59.84% for the same period in 2014.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $89.6 million, an increase of $7.7 million from the six months ended June 30, 2014. Compensation and benefits expense increased $3.6 million to $48.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, due to increased salary expense associated with new employees from both Team Capital and MDE and additional salary expense associated with annual merit increases, partially offset by lower stock based compensation, severance and pension costs. Net occupancy costs increased $2.0 million, to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to same period in 2014, principally due to additional facilities costs related to Team Capital and increased depreciation expense. The amortization of intangibles increased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared with the same period in 2014, primarily due to increases in both the core deposit intangible and customer relationship intangible amortization related to the Team Capital and MDE acquisitions, respectively. In addition, data processing expense increased $628,000 to $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2014, principally due to increased software maintenance costs and telecommunication expenses.
Asset Quality
The Company’s total non-performing loans at June 30, 2015 were $46.1 million, or 0.73% of total loans, compared with $50.9 million, or 0.83% of total loans at March 31, 2015, and $65.4 million, or 1.11% of total loans at June 30, 2014. The $4.8 million decrease in non-performing loans at June 30, 2015, compared with the trailing quarter, was due to a $5.0 million decrease in non-performing residential mortgages, a $763,000 decrease in non-performing commercial mortgage loans and a $230,000 decrease in non-performing commercial loans, partially offset by a $607,000 increase in non-performing consumer loans and a $526,000 increase in non-performing multi-family loans. At June 30, 2015, impaired loans totaled $83.0 million with related specific reserves of $2.7 million, compared with impaired loans totaling $90.8 million with related specific reserves of $6.7 million at March 31, 2015. At June 30, 2014, impaired loans totaled $93.8 million with related specific reserves of $8.5 million. Non-performing loans do not include purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans acquired from Team Capital. At June 30, 2015, PCI loans totaled $3.8 million, compared to $4.3 million at March 31, 2015.
At June 30, 2015, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was 0.95% of total loans, a decrease from 1.00% at March 31, 2015, and a decrease from 1.08% of total loans at June 30, 2014. The decline in this loan coverage ratio from the quarter ended June 30, 2014, was largely the result of an overall improvement in asset quality, including continued declines in non-performing and delinquent loans. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $1.1 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared with provisions of $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had net charge-offs of $2.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $1.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2014. The allowance for loan losses decreased $2.1 million to $59.6 million at June 30, 2015, from $61.7 million at December 31, 2014.
At June 30, 2015, the Company held $8.1 million of foreclosed assets, compared with $5.1 million at December 31, 2014. Foreclosed assets at June 30, 2015 consisted of $5.4 million of residential real estate and $2.7 million
4
of commercial real estate. Total non-performing assets at June 30, 2015 declined $4.8 million, or 8.1%, to $54.2 million, or 0.62% of total assets, from $59.0 million, or 0.69% of total assets at December 31, 2014.
Income Tax Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company’s income tax expense was $9.6 million and $18.0 million, respectively, compared with $6.2 million and $13.9 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The increase in income tax expense was a function of growth in pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The Company’s effective tax rates were 30.6% and 30.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively, compared with 27.5% and 29.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as a greater proportion of income was derived from taxable sources in the current year periods.
