Provident Financial Services, Inc. Announces Third Quarter Earnings and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend
ISELIN, NJ, October 29, 2014 - Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) (the “Company”) reported net income of $19.0 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net income of $16.1 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported net income of $52.4 million, or $0.88 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $53.1 million, or $0.93 per basic and diluted share for the same period last year.
On May 30, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Team Capital Bank ("Team Capital"), which added at fair value $964.0 million to total assets, $631.4 million to loans, and $769.9 million to deposits. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 included net non-recurring items related to the acquisition of Team Capital that reduced earnings by $2.2 million and $3.5 million, net of tax, respectively.
Earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were further impacted by a $790,000, net of tax, non-cash charge resulting from the recognition of a pro rata portion of unrealized losses related to lump sum distributions from the Company's frozen pension plan, in order to lower and reduce the volatility of future pension costs.
Excluding these items, core earnings(1) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $21.2 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, and $56.7 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, respectively.
Christopher Martin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our core operating results, as we maintained our pricing and credit discipline in an increasingly competitive market. The Team Capital systems conversion was seamlessly completed during the quarter, and I applaud our employees’ efforts in achieving that success.” Martin continued: “We remain focused on growth opportunities in our market, as evidenced by the addition of a team of experienced asset-based lenders and the acquisition of their $25 million loan portfolio during the quarter. Provident is well positioned to further augment our performance in tandem with an improving economy and an eventual rise in interest rates.”
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share payable on November 28, 2014, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 14, 2014.
Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased $931.2 million to $8.42 billion at September 30, 2014, from $7.49 billion at December 31, 2013, primarily due to the addition of $964.0 million of total assets from the Team Capital acquisition, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
The Company’s loan portfolio increased $771.4 million, or 14.8%, to $5.97 billion at September 30, 2014, from $5.19 billion at December 31, 2013, which included $631.4 million of loans acquired from Team Capital.

Total investments increased $65.9 million, or 4.2%, to $1.64 billion at September 30, 2014, from $1.57 billion at December 31, 2013, largely due to investment securities acquired in the Team Capital transaction, along with purchases of mortgage-backed and municipal securities, partially offset by principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, maturities of municipal and agency bonds and sales of certain mortgage-backed securities.
Banking premises and equipment increased $30.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, to $96.6 million, primarily due to assets acquired from Team Capital at a fair value of $24.8 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, Bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") increased $25.8 million primarily due to BOLI acquired from Team Capital at a fair value of $22.3 million.
Total deposits increased $525.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $5.73 billion. The increase in total deposits was primarily due to $769.9 million acquired from Team Capital, partially offset by the cyclical outflow of municipal deposits and a decrease in time deposits. At September 30, 2014, core deposits, which consist of savings and demand deposit accounts, totaled $4.91 billion, compared to $4.40 billion at December 31, 2013. Within the core deposit category, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $152.6 million to $1.02 billion at September 30, 2014. Core deposits represented 85.8% of total deposits at September 30, 2014, compared to 84.5% at December 31, 2013.
Borrowed funds increased $287.1 million, or 23.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, to $1.49 billion, as longer-term wholesale funding was added to mitigate interest rate risk. Borrowed funds represented 17.7% of total assets at September 30, 2014, an increase from 16.1% at December 31, 2013.
Stockholders’ equity increased $118.3 million, or 11.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, to $1.13 billion, due to common stock issued for the purchase of Team Capital, net income earned for the period and an increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, partially offset by dividends paid to stockholders. The Company issued 4,933,064 shares of common stock in the Team Capital acquisition. Common stock repurchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled 263,075 shares at an average cost of $16.72 per share. At September 30, 2014, 3.5 million shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current authorization.

Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $11.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $421,000, or 3.6%, compared to the same period in 2013. Fee income decreased $1.3 million, or 13.1%, to $8.5 million, from $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in commercial loan prepayment fee income, partially offset by a $353,000 increase in wealth management fees. Net gains on securities transactions increased $447,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Other income increased $264,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to a $409,000 net fee recognized on a loan level interest rate swap transaction executed during the current quarter and an increase in net gains on loan sales, partially offset by a reduction in net gains on sales of foreclosed and other real estate. In addition, income related to BOLI increased $148,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, principally due to income recognized on BOLI assets acquired from Team Capital.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, non-interest income totaled $29.8 million, a decrease of $4.6 million, or 13.3%, compared to the same period in 2013. Fee income decreased $3.1 million, to $23.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, largely due to a $3.7 million decrease in prepayment fees on commercial loans, partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in wealth management fees. BOLI income decreased $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, principally due to lower death benefit claims recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Also contributing to the decline in non-interest income, net gains on securities transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 declined $727,000 compared to the same period in 2013. These decreases were partially offset by a $378,000 increase in other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, primarily due to a $486,000 gain recognized on the prepayment of FHLB borrowings acquired from Team Capital and the fee recognized on a loan level interest rate swap, partially offset by a reduction in gains on loan sales.
Non-Interest Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, non-interest expense increased $9.4 million to $45.8 million, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Compensation and benefits expense increased $3.8 million to $24.9 million for the three months ended September
3
30, 2014, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, largely due to a $2.2 million increase in salary expense associated with the addition of former Team Capital employees, $922,000 of severance and retention expense associated with the Team Capital acquisition and increased stock-based compensation. Data processing expense increased $2.4 million to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2013, principally due to $2.1 million of non-recurring core system contract termination costs related to the Team Capital acquisition and increased software maintenance costs. Other operating expenses increased $976,000 to $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2013, largely due to $524,000 of non-recurring professional services and customer communication costs related to the Team Capital acquisition. In addition, net occupancy costs increased $878,000, to $6.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, compared to same quarter in 2013, due to additional facilities costs related to Team Capital and increased equipment maintenance costs.

Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $127.7 million, an increase of $16.5 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes $6.0 million of non-recurring costs related to the acquisition of Team Capital. Compensation and benefits expense increased $7.8 million to $69.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, due to increased salary, severance and retention expense associated with Team Capital, increased pension costs associated with lump-sum pension distributions made to vested terminated employees and increased stock-based compensation. Data processing expense increased $2.7 million to $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2013, principally due to $2.1 million of non-recurring core system contract termination costs related to the Team Capital acquisition and increased software maintenance. Other operating expenses increased $2.6 million to $20.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $18.3 million for the same period in 2013, primarily due to non-recurring professional services and customer communication costs related to the Team Capital acquisition. In addition, net occupancy costs increased $2.3 million, to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to same period in 2013, principally due to additional facilities costs related to Team Capital, increased seasonal expense in the first quarter of 2014 related to the harsh winter conditions and increased depreciation expense. The amortization of intangibles increased $433,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, primarily due to increases in the core deposit intangible amortization related to the Team Capital acquisition, while FDIC insurance costs declined $126,000 as a result of a lower assessment rate.
Asset Quality
The Company’s total non-performing loans at September 30, 2014 were $64.1 million, or 1.07% of total loans, compared with $65.4 million, or 1.11% of total loans at June 30, 2014, and $81.6 million, or 1.61% of total loans at September 30, 2013. The $1.3 million decrease in non-performing loans at September 30, 2014, compared with the trailing quarter, was due to a $1.3 million decrease in non-performing residential mortgages, a $747,000 decrease in non-performing commercial loans and a $68,000 decrease in non-performing commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by an $803,000 increase in non-performing consumer loans. At September 30, 2014, impaired loans totaled $93.5 million with related specific reserves of $8.3 million, compared with impaired loans totaling $93.8 million with related specific reserves of $8.5 million at June 30, 2014. At September 30, 2013, impaired loans totaled $113.0 million with related specific reserves of $10.7 million. Non-performing loans do not include purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans acquired from Team Capital. At September 30, 2014, PCI loans totaled $4.5 million, compared to $5.2 million at June 30, 2014.
At September 30, 2014, the Company’s allowance for loan losses was 1.06% of total loans, a decrease from 1.08% at June 30, 2014, and a decrease from 1.30% of total loans at September 30, 2013. The decline in the loan coverage ratio from the quarter ended September 30, 2013, was largely the result of Team Capital loans recorded at fair
4
value at the date of acquisition, with no corresponding allowance. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $1.5 million and $3.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, compared with provisions of $1.2 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company had net charge-offs of $2.0 million and $4.7 million, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $2.2 million and $8.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2013. The allowance for loan losses decreased $1.3 million to $63.3 million at September 30, 2014, from $64.7 million at December 31, 2013.
At September 30, 2014, the Company held $6.3 million of foreclosed assets, compared with $5.5 million at December 31, 2013. Foreclosed assets at September 30, 2014 consisted of $4.0 million of commercial real estate, $2.2 million of residential real estate and $129,000 of marine vessels. Total non-performing assets at September 30, 2014 declined $11.8 million, or 14.3%, to $70.4 million, or 0.84% of total assets, from $82.2 million, or 1.10% of total assets at December 31, 2013.
Income Tax Expense
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company’s income tax expense was $7.9 million and $21.8 million, respectively, compared with $12.0 million and $27.6 million, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to a $3.2 million charge recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 associated with the write-off of a deferred tax asset related to expired non-qualified stock options and lower proportional pre-tax income from taxable sources, as tax exempt municipal securities and BOLI were added through the Team Capital acquisition. The Company’s effective tax rate was 29.4% for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared with 42.7% and 34.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
