ISELIN, N.J., April 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) (the "Company") reported net income of $17.0 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net income of $17.8 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Continued improvement in asset quality and the related reduction in the provision for loan losses coupled with growth in average loans outstanding and an improvement in securities yields have been the key contributors to earnings for the first quarter of 2014. Partially offsetting these items, commercial prepayment fees have declined and certain operating costs have increased, a portion of which were due to unusually high seasonal expenses resulting from the severe winter weather.
Christopher Martin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our strong start to 2014, as loans grew at the best pace for a first quarter in several years and our net interest margin stabilized. Not surprisingly, earnings were impacted by costs associated with the difficult winter in the region. Although our loan pipeline remains robust, volume was constrained somewhat by our unwillingness to meet the aggressive pricing offered by certain competitors. We will remain true to our conservative credit standards and continue to carefully manage our interest rate risk position."
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share payable on May 30, 2014, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2014.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased $13.5 million to $7.50 billion at March 31, 2014, from $7.49 billion at December 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in total loans, partially offset by decreases in total investments and cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's loan portfolio increased $63.0 million, or 1.2%, to $5.26 billion at March 31, 2014, from $5.19 billion at December 31, 2013. Loan originations totaled $360.9 million and loan purchases totaled $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The loan portfolio had net increases of $34.2 million in commercial loans, $29.1 million in construction loans, primarily multi-family construction, $10.1 million in multi-family mortgage loans, and $3.8 million in commercial mortgage loans, which were partially offset by net decreases of $8.8 million and $5.5 million in residential mortgage and consumer loans, respectively. Commercial real estate, commercial and construction loans represented 67.0% of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2014, compared to 66.3% at December 31, 2013.
At March 31, 2014, the Company's unfunded loan commitments totaled $918.3 million, including $336.3 million in commercial loan commitments, $254.0 million in construction loan commitments and $51.5 million in commercial mortgage commitments. Unfunded loan commitments at December 31, 2013 were $910.1 million.
Total investments decreased $26.3 million, or 1.7%, to $1.55 billion at March 31, 2014, from $1.57 billion at December 31, 2013, largely due to principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, maturities of municipal and agency bonds and sales of certain mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by purchases of mortgage-backed and municipal securities.
Total deposits decreased $11.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $5.19 billion. Time deposits decreased $37.7 million, or 4.7%, to $769.1 million at March 31, 2014, with the majority of the decrease occurring in the 12-, 24- and 60-month maturity categories. The decrease in time deposits was partially offset by a $26.6 million increase in core deposits. At March 31, 2014, core deposits, which consist of savings and demand deposit accounts, totaled $4.42 billion, compared to $4.40 billion at December 31, 2013. Within the core deposit category, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $10.3 million, or 1.2%, to $875.5 million at March 31, 2014. Core deposits represented 85.2% of total deposits at March 31, 2014, compared to 84.5% at December 31, 2013.
Borrowed funds increased $16.3 million, or 1.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2014, to $1.22 billion, as longer-term wholesale funding was added to mitigate interest rate risk, and shorter-term wholesale funding was used to manage the cyclical outflow of municipal deposits. Borrowed funds represented 16.3% of total assets at March 31, 2014, an increase from 16.1% at December 31, 2013.
Stockholders' equity increased $10.6 million, or 1.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, to $1.02 billion, due to net income earned for the period and an increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders. Common stock repurchases for the three months ended March 31, 2014 totaled 231,575 shares at an average cost of $16.75 per share. At March 31, 2014, 3.5 million shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current authorization. Book value per share and tangible book value per share(1) at March 31, 2014 were $17.06 and $11.11, respectively, compared with $16.87 and $10.92, respectively, at December 31, 2013.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, net interest income increased $1.3 million, to $55.2 million, from $53.9 million for the same period in 2013. The improvement in the net interest income was due to the continued growth in average loans outstanding, which was partially offset by year-over-year compression in the net interest margin.
The Company's net interest margin increased 2 basis point to 3.28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from 3.26% for the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2013. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets increased 2 basis point to 3.84% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with 3.82% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased 1 basis point to 0.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with 0.69% for the trailing quarter. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 0.35%, compared with 0.37% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 1.87%, compared with 2.01% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 decreased 5 basis points to 3.28%, compared with 3.33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in the net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with the same period last year, was primarily attributable to reductions in the weighted average yield on loans, which declined 25 basis points to 4.26% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with 4.51% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Securities yields improved, however, resulting in a net decrease in the earning asset yield of 8 basis points, to 3.84%. This decrease in earning asset yield outpaced the reduction in the weighted average cost of interest bearing liabilities, which declined 3 basis points to 0.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with 0.71% for the first quarter of 2013. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 0.35%, compared with 0.44% for the same period last year. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $861.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with $819.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 1.87%, compared with 2.24% for the same period last year.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $8.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 18.4%, compared to the same period in 2013. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, fee income decreased $1.1 million to $6.9 million, from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to a decrease in commercial loan prepayment fees, partially offset by increases in wealth management income and deposit fees. In addition, net gains on securities transactions declined $861,000, with losses totaling $350,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, mainly due to the sale of a previously impaired non-agency mortgage-backed security, compared to gains totaling $511,000 for the same period in 2013.
Non-Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, non-interest expense increased $1.2 million, to $38.2 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. Compensation and benefits expense increased $550,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013, due to an increase in stock-based compensation, higher salary expense resulting from annual merit increases and increased employee medical costs, partially offset by decreased severance costs and lower retirement benefit costs. Net occupancy expense increased $883,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, principally due to significant increases in seasonal expenses resulting from the harsh winter weather conditions. In addition, advertising expense increased $319,000, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, due to the introduction of the Company's new branding initiative, updated logo and the related marketing campaigns. Partially offsetting these increases, other operating expenses decreased $341,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013, largely due to lower costs associated with foreclosed real estate. FDIC insurance costs declined $114,000 due to a lower assessment rate, and the amortization of intangibles decreased $228,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, as a result of scheduled reductions in core deposit intangible amortization.
The Company's annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets was 2.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with 2.08% for the same period in 2013. The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income) was 60.32% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with 57.87% for the same period in 2013.
Asset Quality
The Company's total non-performing loans at March 31, 2014 were $64.1 million, or 1.22% of total loans, compared with $76.7 million, or 1.48% of total loans at December 31, 2013, and $99.1 million, or 2.02% of total loans at March 31, 2013. The $12.6 million decrease in non-performing loans at March 31, 2014, compared with the trailing quarter, was due to an $8.4 million decrease in non-performing construction loans, a $2.9 million decrease in non-performing commercial loans, a $1.0 million decrease in non-performing residential loans and a $529,000 decrease in non-performing consumer loans, partially offset by a $256,000 increase in non-performing commercial mortgage loans. At March 31, 2014, impaired loans totaled $94.6 million with related specific reserves of $7.1 million, compared with impaired loans totaling $106.4 million with related specific reserves of $10.2 million at December 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, impaired loans totaled $112.0 million with related specific reserves of $6.6 million.
At March 31, 2014, the Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.21% of total loans, a decrease from 1.24% at December 31, 2013, and a decrease from 1.43% of total loans at March 31, 2013. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company had net charge-offs of $1.6 million, compared with net charge-offs of $1.8 million for the same period in 2013. The allowance for loan losses decreased $1.2 million to $63.4 million at March 31, 2014, from $64.7 million at December 31, 2013, as the weighted average risk rating of the loan portfolio improved, certain non-performing asset resolutions were completed, the allowance coverage of remaining non-performing loans increased and the reduced pace of new non-performing asset formation resulted in accelerated net outflows of non-performing assets.
At March 31, 2014, the Company held $6.6 million of foreclosed assets, compared with $5.5 million at December 31, 2013. Foreclosed assets at March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of $4.0 million of commercial real estate and $2.5 million of residential real estate. Total non-performing assets at March 31, 2014 declined $11.6 million, or 14.1%, to $70.6 million, or 0.94% of total assets, from $82.2 million, or 1.10% of total assets at December 31, 2013.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company's income tax expense was $7.7 million, compared with $7.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in income tax expense was a function of growth in pre-tax income from taxable sources. The Company's effective tax rate was 31.1% and 29.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
