Yahoo Finance Provident Financial Services, Inc. Announces First Quarter Earnings and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend
ISELIN, N.J., April 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) (the “Company”) reported net income of $32.1 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $27.3 million, or $0.36 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and $40.5 million, or $0.54 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net income for the trailing quarter ended December 31, 2023 was negatively impacted by a $3.0 million charge for contingent litigation reserves and a $2.0 million write-down of a foreclosed property. Transaction costs related to our pending merger with Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (“Lakeland”) totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with $2.5 million in the trailing quarter and $1.1 million for the respective 2023 period. In addition, prior year earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2023, included a $2.0 million gain recognized from the sale of a foreclosed commercial property.
Performance Highlights for the First Quarter of 2024
The Company’s total commercial and industrial ("C&I") loan portfolio increased $72.1 million, or 11.5% annualized, to $2.51 billion as of March 31, 2024, from $2.44 billion as of December 31, 2023.
Net interest income decreased $2.1 million to $93.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $95.8 million for the trailing quarter as a result of one fewer day in the current quarter and higher funding costs, which more than offset the benefits of favorable loan repricing.
The net interest margin decreased five basis points to 2.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, from 2.92% for the trailing quarter.
The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased two basis points to 5.06%, compared to the trailing quarter, while the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased nine basis points to 2.80%, compared to the trailing quarter. The increase in funding costs was attributable to a decrease in lower-costing deposits, an increase in average borrowings and unfavorable repricing of deposits, reflective of current market conditions.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company's loan pipeline, consisting of work-in-process and loans approved pending closing, totaled $1.08 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.42%, compared to $1.09 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.08% as of December 31, 2023.
Asset quality improved in the quarter, as non-performing loans as of March 31, 2024 declined to $47.6 million, or 0.44% of total loans, compared to $49.6 million, or 0.46% of total loans as of December 31, 2023. Criticized and classified loans fell to $226.3 million, or 2.09% of loans as of March 31, 2024, from $241.3 million, or 2.22% of loans as of December 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024, CRE loans related to office properties totaled $483.9 million, compared to $483.1 million as of December 31, 2023. This portfolio constitutes only 4.5% of total loans and has an average loan size of $1.9 million, with just four relationships greater than $10.0 million. Approximately 41.0% of the Company's office loans are to medical offices and the portfolio does not have significant central business district exposure. Delinquencies in the office portfolio as of March 31, 2024 were limited to four loans totaling $5.9 million.
As of March 31, 2024, Multi-family CRE loans on New York City properties totaled $188.7 million, compared to $186.8 million as of December 31, 2023. This portfolio constitutes only 1.7% of total loans and has an average loan size of $2.8 million. Approximately $117.4 million of these loans are collateralized by rent stabilized apartments and all are performing.
The Company recorded a $200,000 provision for credit losses on loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to a $500,000 provision for the trailing quarter. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the quarter was primarily attributable to an improved economic forecast for the current quarter within our Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model, partially offset by an increase in specific reserves on impaired credits. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of loans decreased to 0.98% as of March 31, 2024, from 0.99% as of December 31, 2023.
Wealth Management and Insurance Agency income increased 8.3% and 16.9%, respectively, versus the same period in 2023. Total non-interest income was 18.2% of net revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
The Company's annualized adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision ("PTPP") return on average assets(1) was 1.28% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 1.25% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity(1) were 0.92%, 7.60% and 10.40%, respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with 0.77%, 6.60% and 9.15%, respectively for the trailing quarter.
Anthony J. Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “Our first quarter results reflect strong operating performance and returns despite continuing pressure on funding costs and the net interest margin. Our team has performed admirably to manage through these conditions and continued to deliver exceptional customer service. Additionally, our asset quality remains strong and our credit risk is well managed, with limited exposure to the market segments of greatest concern in the current operating environment.”
Regarding the Company's pending merger with Lakeland, Mr. Labozzetta added, “We are delighted that all regulatory approvals required for the merger have been obtained and we are diligently moving forward with our subordinated debt offering which is a required closing condition of the merger. We are excited to complete the closing of the merger promptly to bring together two prominent high performing banks with like-minded cultures, unwavering commitment to employee and customer experience, a dedication to serving our communities, and a keen focus on financial performance and stockholder returns.”
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per common share payable on May 31, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 29, 2024.
Results of Operations

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income was $32.1 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $27.3 million, or $0.36 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2023.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income decreased $2.1 million to $93.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $95.8 million for the trailing quarter. The decrease in net interest income reflected one fewer calendar day in the first quarter and a decrease in lower-costing deposits, combined with unfavorable repricing of deposits, partially offset by the favorable repricing of adjustable-rate loans.
The Company’s net interest margin decreased five basis points to 2.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, from 2.92% for the trailing quarter. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased two basis points to 5.06%, compared to the trailing quarter. The weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased nine basis points from the trailing quarter to 2.80%. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased 13 basis points to 2.60%, compared to 2.47% for the trailing quarter.

Provision for Credit Losses
For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $200,000 provision for credit losses on loans, compared with a provision for credit losses of $500,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in the provision for credit losses for the quarter was primarily attributable to an improved economic forecast for the current quarter within our CECL model, partially offset by an increase in specific reserves on impaired credits. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net charge-offs totaled $971,000, or an annualized 4 basis points of average loans, compared with net charge-offs of $863,000, or an annualized 3 basis points of average loans, for the trailing quarter.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, non-interest income totaled $20.8 million, an increase of $1.8 million, compared to the trailing quarter. Insurance agency income increased $2.0 million to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, mainly due to the receipt of contingent commissions and additional business in the current quarter. Wealth management income increased $645,000 to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, mainly due to an increase in the average market value of assets under management during the period. Additionally, BOLI income increased $173,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to a benefit claim recognized in the current quarter. Partially offsetting these increases to non-interest income, other income decreased $829,000 to $798,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to a reduction in gains on the sale of SBA loans, while fee income decreased $190,000 to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to decreases in loan related fees and debit card income.
Non-interest expense totaled $71.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $3.2 million, compared to $74.5 million for the trailing quarter. Other operating expense decreased $5.3 million to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $15.6 million for the trailing quarter, largely due to a prior quarter $3.0 million charge for contingent litigation reserves, combined with a prior quarter $2.0 million write-down of a foreclosed property. FDIC insurance decreased $618,000 to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to the FDIC special assessment of $775,000 recorded in the prior quarter, partially offset with a current quarter FDIC special assessment of $195,000. Additionally, merger expenses related to our pending merger with Lakeland decreased $275,000 to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter. Partially offsetting these decreases in non-interest expense, compensation and benefits expense increased $1.3 million to $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $38.8 million for the trailing quarter. The increase in compensation and benefit expense was primarily due to increases in payroll taxes, employee medical benefits, stock-based compensation and salary expense, partially offset by a decrease in the accrual for incentive compensation. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $506,000 provision benefit for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, compared to a $1.4 million provision benefit for the trailing quarter. The provision benefits for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures for both periods were primarily due to decreases in loans approved and awaiting closing. Additionally, net occupancy expense increased $723,000 to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, largely due to seasonal increases in snow removal costs and Common Area Maintenance ("CAM") expense.
The Company’s annualized adjusted non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets(1) totaled 1.99% for both the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and the trailing quarter. The efficiency ratio (adjusted non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income)(1) was 60.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to 61.32% for the trailing quarter.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company's income tax expense was $10.9 million with an effective tax rate of 25.3%, compared with income tax expense of $12.5 million with an effective tax rate of 31.3% for the trailing quarter. The decrease in tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with the trailing quarter was largely due to a decrease in taxable income, combined with a discrete item related to deferred taxes on stock-based compensation recorded in the prior quarter and the 2024 sunset of the 2.5% NJ Corporate Business Tax surcharge. This prior quarter discrete item and the sunset of the 2.5% NJ Corporate Business Tax surcharge were also the primary reasons for the decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with the trailing quarter.
Three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income was $32.1 million, or $0.43 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $40.5 million, or $0.54 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Transaction costs related to our pending merger with Lakeland totaled $2.2 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income decreased $14.7 million to $93.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $108.3 million for same period in 2023. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in lower-costing deposits and an increase in borrowings, combined with unfavorable repricing of both deposits and borrowings, partially offset by originations of new loans and the favorable repricing of adjustable-rate loans.
The Company’s net interest margin decreased 61 basis points to 2.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, from 3.48% for the same period last year. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 increased 43 basis points to 5.06%, compared to 4.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $200,000 provision for credit losses on loans, compared with a $6.0 million provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in the provision for credit losses was largely a function of the period-over-period improvement in the economic forecast. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net charge-offs totaled $971,000, or an annualized 4 basis points of average loans, compared with net charge-offs of $671,000, or an annualized 3 basis points of average loans, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income totaled $20.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.3 million, compared to the same period in 2023. Other income decreased $2.5 million to $798,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to a $2.0 million gain from the sale of a foreclosed commercial property which was recorded in the prior year, combined with a decrease in gains on sales of SBA loans. Fee income decreased $475,000 to $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to decreases in commercial loan prepayment fees and deposit fee income. Partially offsetting these decreases in non-interest income, insurance agency income increased $691,000 to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, largely due to an increase in business activity. Wealth management income increased $573,000 to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, mainly due to an increase in the average market value of assets under management during the period, combined with an increase in mutual fund fees. Additionally, BOLI income increased $333,000 to $1.8 million three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due a benefit claim recognized in the current quarter, combined with an increase in equity valuations.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, non-interest expense totaled $71.3 million, an increase of $1.8 million, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Compensation and benefits expense increased $1.3 million to $40.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $38.7 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salary expense associated with Company-wide annual merit increases, combined with increases in the accrual for incentive compensation, payroll taxes and employee insurance, partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation. Data processing expense increased $1.3 million to $6.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in data processing expense was primarily due to increases in software service, telecommunication and electronic business banking expenses. Merger-related expenses related to our pending combination with Lakeland increased $1.1 million to $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. Additionally, FDIC insurance expense increased $335,000 to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to a current quarter FDIC special assessment of $195,000, combined with an increase in the assessment rate. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, other operating expense decreased $729,000 to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, largely due to a decrease in professional fees, partially offset by additional expenses related to foreclosed commercial real estate properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $506,000 provision benefit for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, compared to a $739,000 provision charge for the same period in 2023. The $1.2 million decrease in the provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures for the current quarter was primarily due to a decrease in loans approved and awaiting closing.
The Company’s annualized adjusted non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets(1) was 1.99% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 2.00% for the same period in 2023. The efficiency ratio (adjusted non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income)(1) was 60.82% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to 51.85% for the same respective period in 2023.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company's income tax expense was $10.9 million with an effective tax rate of 25.3%, compared with $14.5 million with an effective tax rate of 26.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with the same period last year was largely the result of a decrease in taxable income and the 2024 sunset of the 2.5% NJ Corporate Business Tax surcharge, while the decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with the three months ended March 31, 2023, was largely due to the 2024 sunset of the 2.5% NJ Corporate Business Tax surcharge and a decrease in the proportion of income derived from taxable sources.
Asset Quality
The Company’s total non-performing loans as of March 31, 2024 were $47.6 million, or 0.44% of total loans, compared $49.6 million, or 0.46% of total loans as of December 31, 2023 and $35.5 million, or 0.35% of total loans as of March 31, 2023. The $2.0 million decrease in non-performing loans as of March 31, 2024, compared to the trailing quarter, consisted of a $4.6 million decrease in non-performing commercial loans and a $771,000 decrease in non-performing construction loans, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in non-performing multi-family loans, a $794,000 increase in non-performing residential mortgage loans, a $787,000 increase in non-performing commercial mortgage loans and a $127,000 increase in non-performing consumer loans.

The allowance for credit losses decreased $771,000 to $106.4 million as of March 31, 2024, from $107.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 was due to net charge-offs of $971,000, partially offset by a $200,000 provision for credit losses.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the loan portfolio had net decreases of $158.6 million of commercial mortgage loans, $12.8 million of residential mortgage loans, and $4.0 million of consumer loans, partially offset by net increases of $72.1 million of commercial loans, $58.2 million of construction loans, and $13.4 million of multi-family loans. All commercial loans, which consist of commercial real estate, multi-family, commercial and construction loans, represented 86.7% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 2024, compared to 86.5% as of December 31, 2023.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, loan funding, including advances on lines of credit, totaled $622.7 million, compared with $809.2 million for the same period in 2023.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s unfunded loan commitments totaled $1.97 billion, including commitments of $1.14 billion in commercial loans, $486.9 million in construction loans and $49.9 million in commercial mortgage loans. Unfunded loan commitments as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 were $2.09 billion and $2.05 billion, respectively.
The loan pipeline, consisting of work-in-process and loans approved pending closing, totaled $1.08 billion as of March 31, 2024, compared to $1.09 billion and $1.54 billion as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
Total investment securities were $2.10 billion as of March 31, 2024, a $33.6 million decrease from December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to repayments of mortgage-backed securities, an increase in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities and maturities and calls of certain municipal and agency bonds, partially offset by purchases of mortgage-backed and municipal securities.
Total deposits decreased $193.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $10.10 billion. The decrease in total deposits was primarily due to a decrease in brokered deposits of $98.0 million and a decrease in municipal deposits of $57.0 million. Total savings and demand deposit accounts decreased $129.7 million to $9.07 billion as of March 31, 2024, while total time deposits decreased $64.0 million to $1.03 billion as of March 31, 2024. The decrease in savings and demand deposits consisted of a $149.1 million decrease in non-interest-bearing demand deposits and a $14.7 million decrease in savings deposits, partially offset by a $28.6 million increase in interest bearing demand deposits and a $5.5 million increase in money market deposits. The decrease in time deposits consisted of an $84.8 million decrease in brokered time deposits, partially offset by a $20.9 million increase in retail time deposits.
Borrowed funds increased $88.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $2.06 billion. The increase in borrowings was largely due to asset funding requirements. Borrowed funds represented 14.6% of total assets as of March 31, 2024, an increase from 13.9% as of December 31, 2023.
Stockholders’ equity increased $4.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, to $1.70 billion, primarily due to net income earned for the period, partially offset by an increase in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities and cash dividends paid to stockholders. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, common stock repurchases totaled 86,325 shares at an average cost of $14.84 per share, all of which were made in connection with withholding to cover income taxes on the vesting of stock-based compensation. As of March 31, 2024, approximately 1.0 million shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current stock repurchase authorization. Book value per share and tangible book value per share(1) as of March 31, 2024 were $22.33 and $16.30, respectively, compared with $22.38 and $16.32, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

Notes and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures | ||||||||||||||
(Dollars in Thousands, except share data) | ||||||||||||||
The Company has presented the following non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. Investors should recognize that the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and the Company strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
