Reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures appear at the end of this release.

 

Effective April 20, 2017, PCSB Bank completed its mutual-to-stock conversion and the Company completed its related initial public offering. Accordingly, financial results for dates and periods prior to April 20, 2017 are for the Bank only.

 

President’s Comments

Commenting on the Company’s results, Joseph D. Roberto, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of PCSB Financial Corporation, said “I am proud of the Company’s progress and successful achievements as we completed our first full year as a public company.  Some of these accomplishments include fourth quarter net income of $2.7 million, the highest quarterly income in the Company’s history, a $92.7 million, or 11.4%, year-over-year increase in net loans and a 16.7% increase in net interest income.  Problem assets continue to decline as the ratio of non-performing assets to total assets fell by more than half to 0.44% from 0.91% a year ago.  Additionally, as the Federal Reserve increased the Fed Funds Rate by 1.75%, the Bank’s average cost of funds, at 0.55%, increased minimally year-over-year.  As we head into fiscal year 2019, we hope to build on these results by continuing to grow the balance sheet with loans while maintaining high credit quality standards.  I am also pleased to announce that our Board of Directors approved our second quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share.”

 

Income Statement Summary

Net interest income increased $2.0 million, or 21.6%, to $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017 and increased $1.3 million or 12.7% from the previous quarter.  The increase in net interest income compared to the prior year is a result of a $44.2 million increase in average net interest earning assets and a 43-basis point increase in the net interest margin. The increase in net interest earning assets is due primarily to the deployment of the capital raised in the initial public offering into loans receivable and investments. The net interest margin was 3.23% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase from 2.80% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2.99% for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Included in current quarter net interest income is $879,000 of interest income recorded from the pay-off of two nonaccrual loans. Excluding this interest, net interest margin for the quarter would have been 2.98%, an increase of 18 basis points from the prior year and a decrease of 1 basis point from the prior quarter.

 

The provision for loan losses was $25,000 for the three months June 30, 2018 compared to no provision expense for the same period in 2017. The provision for loan losses decreased $29,000 compared to prior quarter due primarily to recoveries realized in the current quarter.  Recoveries, net of charge-offs, were $255,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $99,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $320,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.  Loans classified as substandard and doubtful decreased $4.2 million, or 21.4%, to $15.4 million at June 30, 2018 from $19.6 million at March 31, 2018 and decreased $9.7 million, or 38.8%, from $25.1 million at June 30, 2017. Non-performing loans were 0.66% of total loans receivable as of June 30, 2018, down from 0.80% as of March 31, 2018 and 1.48% as of June 30, 2017.

Noninterest income decreased $46,000 to $601,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, due primarily to $142,000 of gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2017, partially offset by $63,000 of gains on the sale of securities recorded in the current quarter and a $45,000 increase in deposit-related fee income. Noninterest income increased $89,000 from the three months ended March 31, 2018, due primarily to $63,000 of gains on the sale of securities realized in the current quarter.

 

Noninterest expense decreased $4.6 million to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 and increased $431,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $4.6 million decrease was caused primarily by a $5.0 million contribution expense recognized in the prior year related to the establishment of the PCSB Community Foundation, partially offset by a $370,000 loss recorded on a receivable in the current quarter. All other operating expenses were largely unchanged compared to the prior year quarter as increases in salaries and employee benefits, as well as increases in Director and Officer insurance expense and other professional fees associated with being a public company, were primarily offset by lower FDIC assessments, advertising costs and expenses on foreclosed real estate.  The $431,000 increase in noninterest expense from the three months ended March 31, 2018 was due primarily to a $370,000 loss recorded on a receivable in the current quarter.                                                                                      

 

Income tax expense was $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the same period in 2017. The effective income tax rate was 28.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 36.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Income tax expense increased $484,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 due primarily to higher net income before income tax expense, partially offset by a $182,000 deferred tax re-measurement benefit recorded in the prior quarter.

 

Balance Sheet Summary

Total assets increased $53.7 million to $1.48 billion at June 30, 2018 from $1.43 billion at June 30, 2017.  This increase was due primarily to an increase of $92.7 million, or 11.4%, in net loans receivable, partially offset by a decrease of $36.8 million in total investment securities. The $92.7 million increase in net loans included increases of $57.6 million in commercial mortgage loans, $32.8 million in residential mortgage loans, and $11.0 million in commercial loans, partially offset by decreases of $5.1 million in construction loans and $4.5 million in home equity lines of credit. Loan growth was funded by a decrease in investment securities as well as an increase in deposits.

 

Total liabilities increased $46.0 million to $1.19 billion at June 30, 2018 from $1.15 billion at June 30, 2017.  This increase was due primarily to a $69.0 million increase in deposits, partially offset by a $23.8 million decrease in advances from FHLB.  

 

Total shareholders’ equity increased $7.8 million to $287.6 million at June 30, 2018 from $279.8 million at June 30, 2017.  This increase was due primarily to net income of $6.6 million and a $2.2 million reduction in unearned ESOP shares for plan shares earned during the period, partially offset by other comprehensive losses of $618,000 due largely to increased unrealized losses in the available for sale investment securities portfolio driven by increased market interest rates, as well as $504,000 of cash dividends paid.  At June 30, 2018, the Company’s book value per share and tangible book value per share were $15.83 and $15.47, respectively, compared to $15.41 and $15.04, respectively, at June 30, 2017.  Reconciliations of book value per share (GAAP measure) to tangible book value per share (non-GAAP measure) appear at the end of this release. At June 30, 2018, the Bank was considered “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.

 

Dividend

The Board of Directors has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.03 per share. The dividend is payable on or about August 31, 2018 to stockholders of record on August 17, 2018.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

The Company has sought and received the New York State Department of Financial Services' requisite non-objection to its proposed 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and will seek stockholder approval of the Plan at its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for October 24, 2018.
