Malvern Bancorp, Inc. Reports Fourth Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal 2017 Results

 

Earnings Driven by Loan Growth and Higher Net Interest Income

 

PAOLI, PA., December 1, 2017 -- Malvern Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLVF) (the "Company"), parent company of Malvern Federal Savings Bank (“Malvern” or the “Bank”), today reported operating results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017. Net income amounted to $2.0 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared with net income of $8.0 million, or $1.24 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, net income amounted to $5.8 million, or $0.90 per fully diluted common share, compared with net income of $12.2 million, or $1.90 per fully diluted common share, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 28, 2017 (the “8-K”), the Company was advised by BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”), its independent registered public accounting firm, that BDO’s audit report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, and for each of the years in the two year period ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and BDO’s completed interim reviews of the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the periods ended December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 (collectively, the “Specified Financial Statements”), should no longer be relied upon. The Company plans to restate the Specified Financial Statements, which will be included in amendments to the Company’s fiscal 2016 10-K and 10-Qs for the first three quarters of fiscal 2017. All numbers in this press release reflect such restatements.

 

The matters described in the 8-K relate to the Company’s tax account balances. The effect of these matters is to increase net income for fiscal 2016 by approximately $208,000, fiscal 2015 by approximately $970,000 and fiscal 2014 by approximately $388,000. The effect of these matters as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, is a decrease to net income of approximately $795,000 and a decrease in tax liability account of $795,000. These matters have no effect on the Company’s cash position, net interest margin, pre-tax income or the Company’s operating expenses.

 

 

The following table below shows the analysis of the impact on the consolidated balance sheets and income statements for the periods affected.

“Our results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 were strong; top line revenue expanded and overall we continued to reflect the forward momentum of the Company. Our continued focus on client service continues to aid in gathering customer relationships, fueling the business model focus and resulting performance. We are excited by the sequential growth and the prospects for continued growth in fiscal 2018,” commented Anthony C. Weagley, President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

“Total loans increased $263.8 million, mostly in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate. We remain successful gathering deposits across the franchise as evidenced by the growth in deposits of $188.4 million to $790.4 million at September 30, 2017.”

Net Interest Income

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, total interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis increased $2.7 million, or 38.8 percent, to $9.6 million, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest income rose in the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2016, primarily due to a $255.8 million increase in the average balance of our loans. Total interest expense increased by $1.0 million, or 57.1 percent, to $2.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in fiscal 2016 due to the increase of $187.6 million in average funding sources.

 

Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis was $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, increasing $1.6 million, or 32.4 percent, from $5.1 million for the comparable three-month period in fiscal 2016. The change for the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily was the result of an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets, which increased $210.8 million. The net interest spread on an annualized tax-equivalent basis was at 2.59 percent and 2.51 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company’s net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis increased to 2.75 percent as compared to 2.65 percent for the same three-month period in fiscal 2016.

 

 

The 57.1 percent increase in interest expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily due to an increase in deposits, as well as the interest expense associated with the Company’s subordinated debt. The average cost of funds was 1.32 percent for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to 1.08 percent for the same three-month period in fiscal 2016 and, on a linked sequential quarter basis, increased 7 basis points compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase in cost was primarily related to the increase in average volume, coupled with the increased expense related to the issuance of subordinated debt.

 

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, total interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis increased $8.4 million, or 33.1 percent, to $33.9 million, compared to $25.5 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016. Total interest expense increased by $2.7 million, or 40.3 percent, to $9.4 million, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, compared from the comparable period in fiscal 2016. Interest income rose for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2016 primarily due to a $230.5 million increase in average loan balances. Compared to the same period in fiscal 2016, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, average interest earning assets increased $191.3 million, the net interest spread increased on an annualized tax-equivalent basis by four basis points and the net interest margin increased on an annualized tax-equivalent basis by seven basis points.

Other Income

 

Other income decreased $83,000, or 13.5 percent, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the same period in fiscal 2016. The decrease in other income was primarily a result of a $113,000 decrease in net gains on sales of investment securities. The decrease was offset in part by an increase in net gains on sale of loans of $22,000 and rental income of $10,000. Excluding net securities gains and losses, a non-GAAP measure, the Company would have recorded other income of $501,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $471,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $30,000, or 6.4 percent.

 

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, total other income increased $8,000 compared to the same period in fiscal 2016, primarily a result of a $68,000 increase in service charges and other fees, a $16,000 increase in rental income and a $38,000 increase in net gains on sale of loans. The increase was partially offset by a $102,000 decrease in net gains on sales of investment securities and a $12,000 decrease in earnings on bank-owned insurance. Excluding net securities gains and losses, a non-GAAP measure, the Company recorded other income of $1.9 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $1.8 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2016, an increase of $110,000, or 6.2 percent.

Other Expense

 

Total other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017, increased $54,000, or 1.4 percent, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The increase primarily reflected increases in salaries and employee benefits of $56,000, a $71,000 increase in occupancy expense, and a $20,000 increase in other operating expense. The increase in occupancy expense was mainly due to expanded locations. Additionally, the increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily reflects higher compensation and related costs due to added staff to support overall franchise growth.

 

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, total other expense increased $1.2 million, or 8.8 percent, compared to the same period in fiscal 2016. The increase primarily reflected increases in salaries and employee benefits of $824,000, a $264,000 increase in occupancy expense, an $85,000 increase in advertising expense, a $67,000 increase in data processing expense, a $211,000 increase in professional fees and a $109,000 increase in other operating expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $335,000 in the federal deposit insurance premium.

Loans

 

Total net loans amounted to $834.3 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $574.2 million at September 30, 2016, for a net increase of $260.1 million or 45.3 percent for the period.

Average loans during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 totaled $831.6 million as compared to $575.8 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, representing a 44.4 percent increase.

 

At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the loan portfolio remained weighted toward two primary components: commercial and the core residential portfolio, with commercial real estate accounting for 52.0 percent and single-family residential real estate loans accounting for 22.9 percent of the loan portfolio. Construction and development loans amounted to 6.4 percent and consumer loans represented 4.9 percent of the loan portfolio at such date. Total gross loans increased $263.8 million, to $842.1 million at September 30, 2017 compared to $578.4 million at September 30, 2016. The increase in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017 compared to September 30, 2016, primarily reflected an increase of $264.4 million in commercial loans and a $25.4 million increase in construction and development loans. These increases were partially offset by a $16.7 million decrease in residential mortgage loans and a $9.3 million reduction in consumer loans at September 30, 2017 as compared to September 30, 2016.

 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, the Company originated total new loan volume of $84.8 million, which was offset in part by participations out, payoffs, prepayments and maturities totaling $50.2 million.

(1)

10 loans totaling approximately $554 thousand, or 53.4% of the total non-accrual loan balance, were making payments at September 30, 2017.

(2)

Annualized.

 

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2017 amounted to approximately $8.4 million, or 1.00 percent of total loans, compared to $5.4 million, or 0.94 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2016. The Company had a $489,000 provision for loan losses during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 compared to $100,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had a $2.8 million and $947,000, respectively, provision for loan losses. Provision expense was higher during fiscal 2017 due to an increase in loan growth and level of reserves commensurate with the size of the loan portfolio overall.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Reported amounts are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Company’s management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information provided in this press release is utilized by market analysts and others to evaluate a company’s financial condition and, therefore, that such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures presented by other companies.

 

The Company’s other income is presented in the table below including and excluding net investment securities gains. The Company’s management believes that many investors desire to evaluate other income without regard to such gains.

“Efficiency ratio” is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined as other expense, excluding certain non-core items, as a percentage of net interest income on a tax equivalent basis plus other income, excluding net securities gains, calculated as follows:

Efficiency ratio			52.3	%			57.0	%			57.4	%			61.6	%			67.7	%

 

(1)

Included in non-core items are costs which include expenses related to the Company’s corporate restructuring initiatives, such as professional fees, litigation and settlement costs, severance costs, and external payroll development costs related to such restructuring initiatives. The Company believes these adjustments are necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results as a means to evaluate comparative results.

 

The Company’s efficiency ratio, calculated on a GAAP basis without excluding net investment securities gains and without deducting non-core items from other expense, follows:

 

For the quarter ended:		9/30/17				6/30/17				3/31/17				12/31/16				9/30/16
Efficiency ratio on a GAAP basis			52.7	%			55.3	%			57.8	%			62.7	%			66.7	%

 

Net interest margin, which is non-interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, is presented on a fully tax equivalent (“TE”) basis as we believe this non-GAAP measure is the preferred industry measurement for this item. The TE basis adjusts GAAP interest income and yields for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt investments using the federal statutory rate of 34% for each period presented. Below is a reconciliation of GAAP net interest income to the TE basis and the related GAAP basis and TE net interest margins for the periods presented.
