ISELIN, N.J., July 28, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Services, Inc. PFS (the "Company") reported net income of $24.4 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $21.4 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported net income of $47.9 million, or $0.75 per basic share and $0.74 per diluted share, compared to net income of $42.3 million, or $0.67 per basic and diluted share, for the same period last year.
The Company's results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017 were favorably impacted by the period-over-period growth in average loans outstanding, growth in both average non-interest bearing and interest bearing core deposits, along with an expansion of the net interest margin. The improvement in the net interest margin was the result of an increase in the yield on earning assets and a stable cost of funds.
Christopher Martin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Following up on a solid first quarter, our second quarter results again reflected record earnings and revenue, accompanied by six basis points of net interest margin expansion. Non-interest expenses were well contained, as we continued preparations for reaching the $10 billion asset threshold in 2018. While we experienced higher than anticipated payoffs of loans throughout the first half of 2017, our loan pipeline remains robust. In addition, I am pleased to report that our board of directors declared an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.20 per share."
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per common share payable on August 31, 2017, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 15, 2017. The dividend is an increase of 5.3% from the prior quarter's regular cash dividend of $0.19 per common share.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased $38.8 million to $9.54 billion at June 30, 2017, from $9.50 billion at December 31, 2016, primarily due to a $27.6 million increase in total loans and a $6.4 million increase in total investments.
The Company's loan portfolio increased $27.6 million, or 0.4%, to $7.03 billion at June 30, 2017, from $7.00 billion at December 31, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, loan originations totaled $1.62 billion. During the six month period from December 31, 2016 to June 30, 2017, the loan portfolio had net increases of $57.5 million in commercial loans, $41.0 million in construction loans and $13.9 million in commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by net decreases of $43.1 million in residential mortgage loans, $23.9 million in consumer loans and $17.5 million in multi-family mortgage. Commercial real estate, commercial and construction loans represented 76.4% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2017, compared to 75.3% at December 31, 2016.
At June 30, 2017, the Company's unfunded loan commitments totaled $1.95 billion, including commitments of $1.13 billion in commercial loans, $368.9 million in construction loans and $169.8 million in commercial mortgage loans. Unfunded loan commitments at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 were $1.83 billion and $1.23 billion, respectively.
Total investments increased $6.4 million, or 0.4%, to $1.61 billion at June 30, 2017, from $1.60 billion at December 31, 2016, largely due to purchases of mortgage-backed and municipal securities and an increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, partially offset by principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, maturities of municipal and agency bonds and calls of certain mortgage-backed securities.
Total deposits decreased $53.1 million, or 0.8%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $6.50 billion, from $6.55 billion at December 31, 2016. Total core deposits, which consist of savings and demand deposit accounts, decreased $51.9 million to $5.85 billion at June 30, 2017, from $5.90 billion at December 31, 2016, and time deposits decreased $1.2 million to $650.0 million at June 30, 2017, from $651.2 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease in core deposits was largely attributable to a $46.8 million decrease in money market deposits and a $17.6 million decrease in interest bearing demand deposits, partially offset by an $8.0 million increase in savings deposits and a $4.4 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits. Core deposits represented 90.0% of total deposits at June 30, 2017, compared to 90.1% at December 31, 2016.
Borrowed funds increased $63.5 million, or 3.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $1.68 billion, as wholesale funding replaced net outflows of deposits for the period. Borrowed funds represented 17.6% of total assets at June 30, 2017, an increase from 17.0% at December 31, 2016.
Stockholders' equity increased $31.8 million, or 2.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2017, to $1.28 billion, primarily 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 made in connection with withholding to cover income taxes on the vesting of stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2017 totaled 42,379 shares at an average cost of $27.18. At June 30, 2017, 3.1 million shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current authorization. Book value per share and tangible book value per share(1) at June 30, 2017 were $19.32 and $12.98, respectively, compared with $18.94 and $12.54, respectively, at December 31, 2016.
Results of Operations
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, net interest income increased $5.2 million to $69.1 million, from $63.9 million for the same period in 2016. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $9.1 million, to $136.1 million, from $127.0 million for the same period in 2016. The improvement in net interest income for the comparative periods was due to growth in average loans outstanding resulting from organic originations and increases in both average interest bearing core deposits and average non-interest bearing demand deposits, combined with period-over-period expansion of the net interest margin. The improvement in the net interest margin was a function of an increase in the yield on earning assets and a stable cost of funds. In addition, the growth in average core deposits mitigated the Company's need to utilize higher-cost sources to fund average loan growth.
The Company's net interest margin increased six basis points to 3.17% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, from 3.11% for the trailing quarter.

The weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 increased two basis points to 0.67%, compared with 0.65% for the trailing quarter.

The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was 1.66%, compared with 1.63% for the trailing quarter.

The average cost of borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 1.64%, compared with 1.71% for the same period last year.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $14.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $1.0 million, or 7.2%, compared to the same period in 2016. Income from Bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") increased $1.1 million to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily due to death benefit claims recognized in the current quarter. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest income, fee income increased $544,000 to $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the period ended June 30, 2016, largely due to a $454,000 increase in commercial loan prepayment fee income and a $90,000 increase in deposit related fees, partially offset by a $107,000 decrease in income from non-deposit investment products. Net gains on securities transactions increased $10,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest income, other income decreased $737,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a $358,000 decrease in net fees on loan-level interest rate swap transactions, a $131,000 gain recognized on the sale of deposits resulting from a strategic branch divestiture in the prior year, and a $124,000 decrease in net gains on the sale of loans.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, non-interest income totaled $27.3 million, an increase of $442,000, or 1.6%, compared to the same period in 2016. BOLI income increased $1.2 million to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the recognition of death benefit claims. Fee income increased $88,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to a $288,000 increase in deposit related fee income and a $107,000 increase in merchant fee income, partially offset by a $303,000 decrease in debit card revenue. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest income, other income decreased $697,000 to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2016, principally due to a $359,000 decrease in net gains on loan sales and a $335,000 gain recognized on the sale of deposits resulting from a strategic branch divestiture in the prior year. Wealth management income decreased $100,000 to $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, due to the discontinuance of income associated with the licensing of indices to exchange traded fund providers. Net gains on securities transactions decreased $86,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016.
Non-Interest Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2017, non-interest expense increased $1.4 million to $47.3 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. Compensation and benefits expense increased $1.2 million to $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $25.7 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was principally due to additional salary expense related to annual merit increases, an increase in the accrual for incentive compensation and an increase in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in retirement benefit costs. Other operating expenses increased $299,000 to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, largely due to increases in debit card maintenance expense and legal expense. Data processing expense increased $259,000 to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, largely due to increases in telecommunication costs and software maintenance expense. In addition, net occupancy costs increased $127,000, to $6.2 million for three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in seasonal expenses, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, FDIC insurance expense decreased $294,000 to $1.0 million for three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $1.3 million for the same period in 2016. This decrease was due to the FDIC's reduction of assessment rates for depository institutions with less than $10.0 billion in assets, effective for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in the FDIC assessment rate was partially offset by an increase in the Company's total assets subject to assessment. Also, amortization of intangibles decreased $161,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, as a result of scheduled reductions in amortization.
The Company's annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets(1) was 1.99% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared with 2.03% for the same period in 2016. The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income)(1) was 56.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared with 59.04% for the same period in 2016.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $93.5 million, an increase of $2.7 million from $90.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Compensation and benefits expense increased $2.0 million to $53.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $51.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to additional salary expense related to annual merit increases, an increase in the accrual for incentive compensation and an increase in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in retirement benefit costs. Net occupancy costs increased $648,000 to $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, principally due to an increase in seasonal expenses, combined with an increase in facility maintenance costs. Other operating expenses increased $492,000 to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016, largely due to increases in legal and debit card maintenance expenses. In addition, data processing expense increased $471,000 to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to increases in telecommunication costs and software maintenance expense. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, FDIC insurance expense decreased $517,000 to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2016. This decrease was due to the FDIC's reduction of assessment rates for depository institutions with less than $10.0 billion in assets, partially offset by an increase in the Company's total assets subject to assessment. Amortization of intangibles decreased $414,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared with the same period in 2016, as a result of scheduled reductions in amortization.
Asset Quality
The Company's total non-performing loans at June 30, 2017 were $38.9 million, or 0.55% of total loans, compared with $40.5 million, or 0.58% of total loans at March 31, 2017 and $43.0 million, or 0.63% of total loans at June 30, 2016. The $1.6 million decrease in non-performing loans at June 30, 2017, compared with the trailing quarter, was due to a $1.5 million decrease in non-performing commercial loans, a $900,000 decrease in non-performing residential mortgage loans, a $445,000 decrease in non-performing consumer loans and a $79,000 decrease in non-performing multi-family loans, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in non-performing commercial mortgage loans. At June 30, 2017, impaired loans totaled $52.7 million with related specific reserves of $4.1 million, compared with impaired loans totaling $53.5 million with related specific reserves of $3.0 million at March 31, 2017. At June 30, 2016, impaired loans totaled $45.3 million with related specific reserves of $2.3 million.
At June 30, 2017, the Company's allowance for loan losses remained unchanged at 0.89% of total loans compared to March 31, 2017, and decreased from 0.90% of total loans at June 30, 2016. The decline in this loan coverage ratio from June 30, 2016, was largely the result of an overall improvement in asset quality. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $1.7 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company had net charge-offs of $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $3.0 million and $3.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2016. The allowance for loan losses increased $1.0 million to $62.9 million at June 30, 2017 from $61.9 million at December 31, 2016.
At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held $6.6 million and $8.0 million of foreclosed assets, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were 10 additions to foreclosed assets with a carrying value of $2.0 million, and 14 properties sold with a carrying value of $2.7 million. Foreclosed assets at June 30, 2017 consisted of $3.5 million of commercial real estate and $3.1 million of residential real estate. Total non-performing assets at June 30, 2017 decreased $4.9 million, or 9.7%, to $45.5 million, or 0.48% of total assets, from $50.4 million, or 0.53% of total assets at December 31, 2016.
Income Tax Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company's income tax expense was $10.5 million and $18.8 million, respectively, compared with $8.8 million and $17.5 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The Company's effective tax rates were 30.0% and 28.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared with 29.1% and 29.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, as a greater proportion of income in the current year periods was derived from taxable sources. The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)" in the third quarter of 2016. Under this guidance, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based compensation are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the application of this guidance resulted in a $1.2 million decrease in income tax expense.
