Provident New York Bancorp Announces Fiscal Second Quarter 2009 Earnings Increase 7.7%
MONTEBELLO, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 20, 2009--Provident New York Bancorp (NASDAQ-Global Select Market: PBNY), the parent company of Provident Bank, today announced second-quarter results for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2009. Net income for the quarter was $5.5 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2009 was $11.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $11.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share for the same period in 2008.
President’s Comments
“I am pleased to report that our earnings for the past six months and the last quarter exceed the previous periods, albeit, with support from security gains. As seen in our financial report, our customers are being impacted by the ongoing downturn in the economy,” said George Strayton, President and CEO. “Our financial strength remains solid, as evidenced by our strong capital ratios, high levels of liquidity and continued good credit quality.
“The prolonged economic downturn continues to put a strain on the ability of some customers to meet their loan obligations, which is reflected in the increase in charge-offs during the second quarter. These charge-offs continue to be centered in the small business loan portfolio. As expected, the Acquisition, Development and Construction (ADC) loan portfolio continues to be stressed as a reflection of the slowness in the housing market, pushing up the “non performing loans” total to 1.5 percent of loans, a ratio still reflective of a quality loan portfolio.
“In recognition of those increases Provident added to the “allowance for loan losses” to cover this uptick. Just as importantly we are actively working with each borrower to bring projects to successful conclusions. The residential and consumer loan portfolios are performing extremely well, as is the investment portfolio.”
Key items for the quarter include:
- The Bank is well capitalized with a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at 12.41 percent, total risk-based capital ratio at 13.80 percent and its leverage ratio at 8.50 percent.
- Net charge-offs increased to $4.3 million (0.99 percent of average loans on an annualized basis) compared to $2.0 million in the prior linked quarter and $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, due primarily to the performance of the community business loan portfolio.
- Loan-loss provision increased by $4.1 million and $4.6 million over the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and the linked quarter respectively, to $7.1 million ($2.8 million in excess of net charge-offs). Allowance for loan losses increased to $26.4 million, or 1.52 percent of loans outstanding and 100 percent of non-performing loans.
- Realized gains on sales of securities were $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2008 and $331,000 for the linked quarter ending December 31, 2008.
- Net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent basis was 3.80 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as compared to 3.89 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and 4.0 percent for the linked quarter.
- Deposits grew $110.6 million as a result of an influx of deposits during the quarter. Transaction accounts were $598.1 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $594.6 million at December 31, 2008. Savings accounts and Municipal money market deposit accounts grew $20.4 million and $126.7 million respectively over December 31, 2008 levels.
- Loans outstandings were relatively unchanged during the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The commercial and consumer portfolios grew, while the residential mortgage portfolio declined primarily due to new loan originations being sold into the secondary market.
Capital and Liquidity
Provident Bank remained well-capitalized with excellent liquidity in the second quarter. We continued to build capital during fiscal 2009, with the Bank’s leverage ratio increasing to 8.50 percent. The Company’s tangible capital as a percent of tangible assets increased to 9.11 percent as of March 31, 2009, while its tangible book value improved to $6.37 from $5.78 at September 30, 2008. Total capital increased $22.2 million from September. 30, 2008, to $421.4 million at March 31, 2009, due to a $6.3 million increase in the Company’s retained earnings to $145.1 million and a $13.1 million improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income, after realizing security gains in the quarter of $6.1 million. There were no open market stock repurchases during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
“It is important to reiterate that we elected not to participate in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Capital Purchase Program due to our strong capital levels,” said Strayton. “We have the financial capacity to continue being a major lender in the Hudson Valley, and we remain committed to maintaining and expanding our lending programs to benefit our customers and community. I am also pleased to report the generation of $242 million in new loans for the fiscal year to date evidencing our continued support to our local communities with credit as we have done for over the past 120 years.”
As a result of the diminished liquidity in the credit markets, the Bank focused on increasing its liquidity, which has strengthened the balance sheet and resulted in a minor compression on net interest margin in the current quarter. The Bank issued $51.5 million in senior unsecured debt under the FDIC’s Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program. In addition to supporting the Company’s strong capital and liquidity positions, it enables the Bank to better serve its local communities through increased lending to creditworthy borrowers. As of March 31, 2009 the Bank maintained $107.7 million in cash at the Federal Reserve Bank compared to $6.7 million at September 30, 2008 for enhanced liquidity purposes. Further, the Bank had no outstanding overnight borrowings under its $200 million line of credit facility with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company’s high quality investment portfolio consists primarily of securities issued by U.S. Government Sponsored Agencies and general obligations of municipalities and provides an additional source of liquidity.
Credit Quality
Net charge-offs for the quarter were $4.3 million (0.99 percent of average loans, on an annualized basis), compared to $2.0 million in the prior linked quarter and $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. Net charge-offs of $3.1 million were in the community business loan portfolio which continues to be impacted by the ongoing sluggishness of the economy, on average outstandings of $106.4 million. Write downs in the ADC portfolio totaled $700,000.
The Company’s loan-loss provision was $7.1 million in the second quarter, $2.8 million in excess of net charge-offs. This resulted in an increase in the allowance for loan losses to $26.4 million, or 1.52 percent of loans outstanding, and 100 percent of non-performing loans. The primary reasons for increasing the allowance for loan losses continues to be related to the general economic slowdown.
Nonperforming loans increased $8.4 million in the second quarter to $26.4 million compared to $18.0 million at December 31, 2008, of this total, ADC loans comprising four borrowers were $7.8 million of this increase. This rise is primarily due to ongoing stress in the Bank’s construction portfolio resulting from the stagnant housing and real estate markets. The Bank’s coverage ratio of nonperforming loans declined from 131 percent at December 31, 2008, to 100 percent at March 31, 2009.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Second quarter fiscal 2009 compared with second quarter fiscal 2008
Net interest income was $23.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, a $394,000 increase from the same quarter of fiscal 2008. The net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis was 3.80 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to 3.89 percent for same period a year ago. The year-over-year comparison reflects the impact of the cuts in the federal funds target rate totaling two percent. As a result, the yield on loan balances declined 100 basis points. For the same period, the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased 104 basis points to 1.30 percent, and the cost of borrowings decreased 7 basis points to 3.71 percent, reflecting the carry cost of term borrowings outstanding. The tax-equivalent yield on investments decreased 2 basis points compared to the same quarter in 2008.
Second quarter fiscal 2009 compared with linked quarter ended December 31, 2008
Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, decreased $1.4 million from the quarter ended December 31, 2008. The tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased 20 basis points from 4.0 percent for the same period. During the quarter the Bank sold $164.6 million in securities and purchased $147.5 million. The overall yield of the investment portfolio declined 8 basis points at March 31, 2009. Further, the excess proceeds from the sales over purchases plus normal principal payments have been kept liquid at the Federal Reserve, earning 25 basis points on an average balance of $66.4 million. The $51.5 million debt issued with FDIC backing allowed the Bank to reduce its borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The combination of these two items significantly enhanced the liquidity position of the Bank, but led to a 14 basis point reduction in net interest margin compared to the linked quarter.
Year-to-date comparison fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2008
On a year-to-date basis, net interest income increased $3.1 million for the six-month period ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, with the tax equivalent net interest margin increasing from 3.82 percent to 3.90 percent.
Noninterest Income
Second quarter fiscal 2009 compared with second quarter fiscal 2008
Noninterest income increased to $11.1 million from $5.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to the second quarter of fiscal 2009. The increase was due to gains of approximately $5.1 million resulting from the Company’s decision to realize a portion of the recent appreciation in its security portfolio. The Company may realize further gains from its security holdings, if conditions justify such action. The increase also was due to gains on the sale of loans in the second quarter of $290,000. The Bank is selling current loan originations in the secondary market to control interest rate risk. Fee income was stable in the second quarter.
Second quarter fiscal 2009 compared with linked quarter ended December 31, 2008
Noninterest income increased on a linked-quarter basis, due to high levels of securities gains realized and gains on sales of loans in the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
Year-to-date comparison fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2008
Noninterest income increased compared to the same period in 2008. Increases were driven primarily by gain on sale of securities with smaller contributions from deposit fees and service charges as well as proceeds from the sale of premises. Modest declines were seen in investment management fees as the market value of assets under management declined.
Noninterest Expense
Second quarter fiscal 2009 compared with second quarter fiscal 2008
The Company remained focused on controlling operating expenses. Noninterest expense increased by $1.2 million, or 6.09 percent, over the second quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily due to increased pension and medical expense totaling $443,000 as well as increased FDIC assessments of $569,000.
Second quarter fiscal 2009 compared with linked quarter ended December 31, 2008
On a quarter-to-quarter basis, non-interest expense increased 4.37 percent primarily due to costs associated with advertising and promotion, professional fees and FDIC assessments. Normal salary increases effective January 2009 and the increase in staffing for the White Plains office were offset by lower levels of incentive compensation accruals during the period.
Year-to-date comparison fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2008
Noninterest expense increased by $2.3 million, or 6.11 percent, over the same period in 2008, primarily in the areas of compensation and benefits (especially pension and medical expense increases of $827,000) and FDIC assessments that increased by $800,000.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.88 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 28.10 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2008. For the linked quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s effective tax rate was 30.73 percent.
Key Balance Sheet Changes at March 31, 2009 compared to September 30, 2008
- Net loan balances were essentially flat in the fiscal second quarter of 2009, reflecting the stagnant economy. Residential loans declined $16.5 million, as the Company is selling its residential fixed rate conforming loan originations into the secondary market. Gross loans totaled $1.74 billion, compared to $1.65 billion in the year-ago period.
- Securities decreased $44.5 million to $790.2 million, as the Company sold securities with market gains to improve liquidity.
- Deposit flows were strong as a result of an influx of funds that came into the Bank during the second quarter. Period-end deposits increased $19.6 million at March 31, 2009, as compared to September 30, 2008 due to increases in savings, certificates of deposits and municipal money market deposits offset by seasonal declines in municipal transaction accounts.
Additional Information
- The sharp rise in FDIC insurance premiums during the year added $800,000 to the Company’s noninterest expense during fiscal 2009. The FDIC has announced plans to impose a special assessment on insured banks of 20 basis points in addition to regular insurance premiums. If this assessment occurs, the potential impact would be approximately a $4 million increase in noninterest expense in the fiscal third quarter of 2009.
- The Company holds $464.4 million in mortgage backed securities issued by FHLMC and FNMA. The Company also holds approximately $9.5 million in private label CMO pass through securities, all of which are performing at March 31, 2009, with an amortized cost of $12.8 million.
- The Company opened a new facility in White Plains, Westchester County, New York. This facility will serve primarily to originate and service commercial customers.

(2) The efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income. As in the case of net interest income, generally, net interest income as utilized in calculating the efficiency ratio is typically expressed on a tax-equivalent basis. Moreover, most financial institutions, in calculating the efficiency ratio, also adjust both noninterest expense and noninterest income to exclude from these items (as calculated under generally accepted accounting principles) certain component elements, such as non-recurring charges, other real estate expense and amortization of intangibles (deducted from non interest expense) and security transactions and other non-recurring items (excluded from noninterest income). We follow these practices. |
