2011 Annual Report
 
 
 
 

 

Message From the Chairman
 
 

 
Dear Shareholders:

Wow, what a difference a year can make!  I am pleased to forward our Annual Report for fiscal 2011, which describes significantly better financial results than those realized during the prior three years.  The operating environment for financial institutions is somewhat improved in comparison to the particularly weak environment of the prior three years and we are well-positioned to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.  Credit quality continues to improve and we have been capitalizing on favorable mortgage banking conditions resulting in a record year in terms of loans originated for sale.  The materially lower provision for loan losses in fiscal 2011 in comparison to fiscal 2010 and the noteworthy increase in revenue from the gain on sale of loans led the way to our strong results.  We reported net income of $13.2 million, or $1.16 per diluted share, and a return on equity of 9.7%, which is a solid performance in comparison to many of our peers.
Last year, when we were completing our fiscal 2011 Business Plan, it was apparent that the stubbornly poor general economic conditions would not necessarily be subsiding.  As a result, our Business Plan for the Bank once again focused on enhancing capital, slightly deleveraging the balance sheet, addressing asset quality issues and maintaining the Bank’s “well-capitalized” regulatory capital designation.  For Provident Bank Mortgage, the primary goal was to capture significant loan origination volume consistent with our forecast of a favorable mortgage banking environment and the investment we made in expanding our origination capacity.
I am pleased to report that we succeeded in connection with all of these initiatives.  Specifically, stockholders’ equity increased during fiscal 2011 by $14.0 million, primarily the result of our very good financial results; total assets declined by 6%, approximately half the rate of decline of the prior year; non-performing assets declined by a notable 38%; and the Bank’s capital ratios improved dramatically during the course of fiscal 2011 solidifying the “well-capitalized” regulatory capital designation.
Just as significant, in fiscal 2011, Provident Bank Mortgage originated over $2.1 billion of loans for sale, the best year in our 55 year history in terms of loan origination volume.  Additionally, our loan sale margin expanded to 149 basis points from 77 basis points in fiscal 2010, primarily as the result of fewer competitors and the changing composition of loan originations with a larger percentage from the retail channel.

Provident Bank
Our fiscal 2012 Business Plan marks a return to our organic growth strategy although we are still mindful that the operating environment will remain challenging with many headwinds.  We are investing in our preferred loan origination capabilities which we believe will result in the growth of our multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolios.  Retail deposit activity remains very important to us and we are forecasting modest deposit growth within our geographic footprint while we begin to explore new branch sites as we return to our de-novo branching strategy in the high growth communities of the Inland Empire.  We also believe opportunistic transactions may become available in the markets we serve which we intend to explore as we continue to build our banking franchise.
During the course of fiscal 2012, we will emphasize prudent growth of loans held for investment, the growth of retail deposits (primarily transaction accounts), diligent operating expense control and sound capital management decisions (demonstrated by our recent announcement to increase the quarterly cash dividend to our shareholders and to implement a stock repurchase plan).  We believe that successful execution of these strategies will deliver superior financial results which our shareholders have come to expect.
 
Provident Bank Mortgage
To date, fiscal 2012 mortgage banking fundamentals have been favorable.  Mortgage interest rates have remained at very low levels (from a historical perspective) and competitors have been slow to enter the market as a result of tighter regulatory requirements which we believe is providing us with a competitive advantage.  We are improving the percentage of retail originations in comparison to wholesale originations and will continue to do so.  Increasing production from the retail channel is one of the best strategies for improving mortgage banking profitability.  We are actively recruiting high producing originators from those non-regulated firms who are not as well-equipped to bear the potentially higher capital requirements, heightened regulatory scrutiny and more disciplined reporting requirements.  Doing so will serve us well in fiscal 2012 and beyond because we believe that
 
 
 

 
 
Message From the Chairman
 

 
these originators will deliver high quality retail production volume in a very short period of time once they join our Company.

A Final Word
I began my message by suggesting that a year can make a world of difference regarding the financial results of our Company.  Truth-be-told, we have endured one of the most trying economic and banking cycles in the 55 year history of Provident and, for us, it has lasted for approximately three years.  Our successful emergence from this awful cycle would not have occurred without the diligent efforts of our employees, the exceptional loyalty of our customers from the communities we serve, and the steadfast support of our shareholders.  To all of you, thank you for your continued support, patronage and patience.  We recognize that our current and future financial results are inextricably linked to each of you and we will continue to do everything necessary at every opportunity to earn your respect, your business and your loyalty.


Sincerely,


/s/ Craig G. Blunden
Craig G. Blunden
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
