AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair presentation. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in Provident Bancorp, Inc.'s 1994 annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Provident Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Bancorp"), all of which are wholly owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current year presentation. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Bancorp adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board("FASB") Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", on January 1, 1995. This statement requires a creditor to measure the value of an impaired loan, as defined in the statement, based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or, if more practical, at the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. Generally, interest income on impaired loans is computed on the outstanding principal balance. Impaired loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the payment of principal and/or interest is past due 90 days or more. FASB Statement No. 114 is not applicable to Bancorp's instalment loans, residential loans, leases and debt securities. The adoption of FASB Statement No. 114 had no material impact on Bancorp's financial condition or results of operations. Stock Options Pursuant to Bancorp's 1988 Stock Option Plan, options to purchase 43,000 shares of Bancorp common stock were granted during the first three months of 1995. The options have exercise prices ranging from $29.69 to $30.89. Off-Balance Sheet Financial Agreements In the normal course of business, Bancorp uses various financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to manage its interest rate risk and to meet the financing needs of its customers. At March 31, 1995, these off-balance sheet instruments consisted of standby letters of credit of $96 million, commitments to extend credit of $1.3 billion and interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $1.5 billion. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations Summary Bancorp's net earnings for the first quarter of 1995 were $15.0 million compared to $13.7 million for the first quarter of 1994. Net interest income increased by $3 million, or 7%, over the comparable period in 1994. Interest income increased by $30.3 million, or 40%, which more than offset the $27.4 million, or 84%, increase in interest expense. Other income increased $1.4 million, or 14%, primarily due to the increase in gain on sales of loans. Other expense increased $3.6 million, or 12%, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits and equipment expense. The following ratios compare returns on average assets and average equity for the first three months of 1995 and for the year 1994. Three Months Ended Year Ended March 31, 1995 December 31, 1994 Net Earnings to Average Assets(1) 1.15% 1.24% Net Earnings to Average Shareholders' Equity(1) 16.40% 16.64% <FN> (1)Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1995 have been annualized. The ratio of operating expense to tax equivalent revenue ("efficiency ratio") was 56.7% for the first three months of 1995 compared to 54.6% for the first three months of 1994. Tax equivalent revenue includes tax equivalent net interest income and other income but excludes non- recurring gains and security gains or losses. The primary reason for the increase in the efficiency ratio was operating expense increased at a proportionately faster rate than did tax equivalent net interest income. Asset quality remained strong during the first quarter of 1995. The ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans was .40% at March 31, 1995, compared to .17% at December 31, 1994 and .63% at March 31, 1994. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned was .45% at March 31, 1995, compared to .25% at December 31, 1994 and .83% at March 31, 1994. Net Interest Income See Table 1 for net interest income on a tax equivalent basis and Table 2 for consolidated average balances, rates earned/paid and net interest margin. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis increased approximately $3.0 million for the first three months of 1995 over the comparable period in 1994. This increase resulted from a $4.6 million increase due to changes in volume more than offsetting the $1.6 million decrease which was caused by changes in rates. Volume changes are caused by changes in the average balances of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The net interest margin was 3.80% for the first three months of 1995 as compared to 4.24% for the comparable period in 1994. The decrease in the net interest margin during this period reflects the increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, which increased 189 basis points, more than offsetting the increase of 131 basis points in the average rate earned on interest earning assets. An increase in time deposits combined with an increase in the rate paid on time deposits was the primary reason for the increase in Provident Bancorp's overall cost of interest bearing liabilities. An increase in the amount of commercial and financial loans combined with repricing of commercial and financial loans were the primary reasons for the increase in the average rate earned on interest earning assets. Beginning in the first quarter of 1994, interest rates began to increase and have continued to increase through the first quarter of 1995. As interest rates have increased, interest bearing liabilities have reacted more quickly than interest earning assets, causing the net interest margin to decrease. The increase in interest rates that began in 1994 was the primary reason that interest rate swaps decreased the net interest margin by 25 basis points during the first quarter of 1995. During the first quarter of 1994, interest rate swaps increased the net interest margin by 38 basis points. In preparing the net interest margin tables, nonaccrual loan balances are included in the average balances for loans. Loan fees are included in loan revenue as follows: first quarter 1995 - $4.6 million and first quarter 1994 - $3.5 million. Provision for Possible Loan Losses For the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, the provision for possible loan losses was $2 million and $3 million, respectively. As loan growth has slowed and net loan charge-offs have declined, the provision for possible loan losses has decreased. Net loan charge-offs have declined $1.1 million in the first quarter of 1995 when compared to the first quarter of 1994, primarily due to the increase in recoveries. Nonperforming assets were 33% lower at March 31, 1995 when compared to March 31, 1994. Other Income Other income increased $1.4 million during the first quarter of 1995, primarily due to the increase in gain on sale of loans. The sale of an equipment lease was the primary reason for the increase in gain on sale of loans. Other service charges and fees increased primarily due to an increase in credit card fee income. Other Expense Other expense increased $3.6 million during the first quarter of 1995 when compared to 1994. Salaries increased as a result of merit and promotion increases, increases in incentives and increased personnel in the retail banking area. Occupancy expense increased primarily due to an increase in the amount of space rented. The increase in equipment expense was primarily due to increased depreciation expense relating to the bank's data processing operations. The increase in deposits was the reason for the increase in deposit insurance expense. Increases in stationary and supplies expense and data processing expense were the primary reasons for the increase in other. Financial Condition Investment Securities and Short-Term Investments Although federal funds sold and reverse repurchase agreements decreased $207.1 million, or 82%, during 1995, average balances have increased $5 million for the first three months of 1995. The decrease in the period-end balance reflects primarily the sale of such assets in order to fund a reduction in short-term debt. Loans The sale of equipment financed under an equipment lease financing was the primary reason for the decrease in equipment lease financing. Consumer lease financing increased $25 million, or 13%, as automobile leasing continued to grow. As competition has intensified, management decided to limit instalment loan growth. As growth in the economy begins to slow in 1995, Bancorp will more than likely experience slower loan growth in 1995 than in 1994. The following table shows the composition of the commercial and financial loan category by industry type at March 31, 1995 (dollars in millions): Amount on Type Amount % Nonaccrual Construction $85.6 4 $.4 Manufacturing 397.0 20 3.3 Transportation/Utilities 122.0 6 5.7 Wholesale Trade 208.2 11 .8 Retail Trade 202.3 10 - Finance & Insurance 109.7 6 .2 Real Estate Operators/Investment 249.2 13 .9 Service Industries 270.1 14 1.1 Automobile Dealers 96.1 5 - Other(1) 202.9 11 .8 Total $1,943.1 100 $13.2 <FN> (1)Includes various kinds of loans, such as small business loans and loans with balances under $100,000. The composition of the commercial mortgage and construction loan categories by property type at March 31, 1995 is shown in the following table (dollars in millions): Amount on Type Amount % Nonaccrual Apartments $89.8 15 $.3 Office/Warehouse 130.3 21 .6 Residential Development 81.1 13 .1 Shopping/Retail 151.8 25 .9 Land 19.5 3 - Industrial Plants 17.4 3 - Hotel/Motel 25.2 4 - Health Facilities 5.3 1 - Auto Sales and Service 18.3 3 - Churches 12.3 2 - Mobile Home Parks 10.9 2 - Other Commercial Properties 51.5 8 - Total $613.4 100 $1.9 At March 31, 1995, approximately $137.2 million, or 3.2%, of Bancorp's total loan portfolio was classified as highly leveraged loans. This is an increase of $19.4 million since December 31, 1994. In general, Bancorp does not originate highly leveraged loans but participates in loans originated by larger banks. All of the highly leveraged loans are current at this time except for one loan with a balance of $2 million that is on nonaccrual status. Placing this loan on nonaccrual reduced interest income in the first quarter of 1995 by approximately $121,000. These loans were considered by management in the determination of the adequacy of the reserve for possible loan losses. Bancorp also has commitments to lend up to an additional $52 million at market rates under this type of transaction to present borrowers. Bancorp maintains a reserve for possible loan losses to absorb potential losses in its loan portfolio. Management's determination of the adequacy of the reserve is based on reviews of specific loans, loan loss experience, general economic conditions and other pertinent factors. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged off and deducted from the reserve and recoveries on loans previously charged off are added to the reserve. Management considers the present reserve to be appropriate and adequate to cover potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the current economic environment. However, future economic changes cannot be predicted. Deterioration in general economic conditions could result in an increase in the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio and an increase in the provision for possible loan losses. The following table shows the progression of the reserve for possible loan losses (dollars in thousands): 1995 1994 Balance at January 1 $51,979 $40,542 Provision for Possible Loan Losses 2,000 3,000 Loans Charged Off (1,945) (1,686) Recoveries 1,953 539 Balance at March 31 $53,987 $42,395 The primary reason for the increase in recoveries in 1995 was the partial recovery of a commercial loan charge-off that occurred in 1991. As a percentage of total loans outstanding, the reserve was 1.26% at March 31, 1995, 1.24% at December 31, 1994 and 1.21% at March 31, 1994. Table 3 shows a comparison of the major components of nonperforming assets over the past five quarters along with various asset quality ratios. Nonperforming assets have increased $8.9 million during 1995. Nonaccrual loans have increased approximately $10.1 million during the first three months of 1995, primarily due to two commercial and financial loans being put on nonaccrual status during the first quarter. The decrease in other real estate owned was due primarily to the sale of commercial properties. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and total assets at March 31, 1995 are at a level that is more consistent with historical averages. Deposits Noninterest bearing deposits decreased $58.1 million, or 13%, during the first three months of 1995 primarily due to a decrease in commercial deposits. Short-Term Debt Short-term debt declined $125.9 million, or 24%, during the first three months of 1995, primarily due to the $101.2 million decrease in federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements. Commercial paper decreased $24.7 million to a balance of $116.2 million at March 31, 1995. Capital Resources and Adequacy During the first three months of 1995, shareholders' equity increased $13 million, or 3.6%, to $372.4 million. Dividends of $3.9 million on common stock and $.6 million on preferred stock were paid in the first three months of 1995. Treasury stock increased to $4.6 million at March 31, 1995 as Bancorp purchased 184,827 shares and sold 42,105 shares of its common stock during the first quarter. In December, 1994, Bancorp announced that it would purchase up to 200,000 shares to be used for various company benefit plans and for other corporate purposes. Unrealized losses on marketable securities, net of deferred income taxes, decreased $6.8 million during the first three months of 1995 as a result of an improvement in market conditions. The following table of ratios is important to the analysis of the adequacy of capital resources. Three Months Ended Year Ended March 31, 1995 December 31, 1994 Average Shareholders' Equity to Average Assets 7.01% 7.43% Preferred Dividend Payout to Net Earnings 3.87(1) 5.15 Common Dividend Payout to Net Earnings 26.05(1) 25.47 Tier 1 Leverage Ratio 7.15 7.21 Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets 7.88 7.86 Total Risk-Based Capital To Risk-Weighted Assets 12.83 12.85 <FN> (1)Net earnings and dividend payouts for the three months ended March 31, 1995 have been annualized. In the fourth quarter of 1994, Bancorp proceeded with optional redemption of its Series B preferred stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Series B preferred stock, the Series B preferred shares were not redeemed but ceased to accrue dividends at the preferred stock rate of $8.00 per share. Dividends are now paid as if the Series B preferred stock had been converted to Bancorp common stock. Capital expenditures planned by Bancorp for building improvements and furniture and equipment in 1995 are currently estimated to be approximately $14 million. Included in this amount are projected capital expenditures for improvements of the branch banking network and improvements in data processing capabilities for The Provident Bank's data processing subsidiary. Through March 31, 1995, approximately $2.0 million of these expenditures have been made. Management believes that currently available funds and funds provided by normal operations will be sufficient to meet capital requirements. Liquidity Adequate liquidity is necessary to meet the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawal requirements of customers as well as to satisfy liabilities, fund operations and support asset growth. Cash flows generated by new deposits, loan payments and maturities of loans are sources of liquidity. Other sources include federal funds, investment securities and access to borrowed funds in the money markets. Net liquid assets at March 31, 1995 were as follows (dollars in millions): Cash and deposits due from banks $157.2 Federal funds sold net(1) (232.8) Investment securities due with one year 593.1 Loans due within one year 1,520.0 Net liquid assets $2,037.5 <FN> (1)Federal funds sold and reverse repurchase agreements less federal funds purchased and repurchase agreements. Total deposits increased $4.4 million from the amount reported at December 31, 1994. Approximately $17 million of long-term debt was repaid during the first three months of 1995; during the remainder of 1995, approximately $8.7 million of long-term debt is due to be repaid based upon scheduled principal payments. The major source of liquidity for Bancorp on a parent-only basis is dividends paid to it by its subsidiaries. Pursuant to Federal Reserve and state banking regulations, the maximum amount available for dividend distribution to Bancorp at March 31, 1995 by its banking subsidiaries was approximately $54 million. Bancorp has not received dividends from its subsidiaries during the first three months of 1995. At March 31, 1995, the parent had $116.2 million of short-term commercial paper outstanding. A portion of commercial paper proceeds was used to fund short-term loans. Contractual lines of credit totaling $130 million have been obtained by Bancorp to support its commercial paper borrowings. These lines had not been used at March 31, 1995. The parent had approximately $11.2 million in cash and interest earning deposits and $84.4 million in short-term repurchase agreements at March 31, 1995. Management believes that the repayment of Bancorp's debt can be made using funds generated by Bancorp and received as dividends from subsidiaries both in the short-term as well as in the long-term.
