Progress Financial Corporation Announces 75% Increase in
First Quarter 2003 Earnings Per Share
Blue Bell, PA, April 23, 2003 - Progress Financial Corporation (the
"Company" - Nasdaq: PFNC), reported first quarter 2003 net income of $1.4
million, or diluted earnings per share of $.21, compared to net income of
$750,000, or diluted earnings per share of $.12, for the first quarter of 2002.
Commenting on the first quarter results, W. Kirk Wycoff, President and CEO,
stated, "We are pleased with our earnings results for the first quarter, which
were driven by excellent loan and deposit growth and attention to cost control.
The opportunities in our markets for a community bank with broad products and an
outstanding sales and service team remain excellent. Now that geo political
concerns are clearing, we are optimistic about 2003."
Tax-equivalent net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003
increased $973,000, or 15%, compared to the first quarter of 2002 and increased
$444,000, or 6%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2002. The net interest margin
for the first quarter of 2003 was 3.02% (FTE) compared to 3.25% (FTE) for the
first quarter of 2002 and 3.09% (FTE) for the fourth quarter of 2002.
The provision for loan and lease losses was $700,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2002. The higher
provision during 2002 was primarily due to charge-offs in the TechBanc portfolio
(which was subsequently sold) and the reserve additions to address credit and
economic concerns which have now been reduced as a result of the reduction in
the Company's classified assets.
Non-interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $2.8 million
compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 2002. This decrease was the
result of a variety of factors. The quarter ended March 31, 2003 included client
warrant income of $197,000 compared to $1.4 million during the first quarter of
2002. Fee income for the quarter decreased $605,000 primarily due to a decrease
in mutual fund, annuity and insurance commissions from the Company's subsidiary,
Progress Financial Resources, Inc., and a reduction in consulting fees from the
Company's subsidiary, KMR Management, Inc. Gain on sale of securities was
$323,000 for the first quarter of 2003 compared to no gain or loss on sale of
securities during the same quarter in 2002.
Total non-interest expense was $7.3 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2003, a decrease of $1.1 million compared to $8.4 million for the first quarter
of 2002. Salaries and employee benefits decreased by $509,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable period in 2002, mainly due to
decreased commission volume for Progress Financial Resources, Inc. and lower
staffing levels at KMR Management, Inc. Other expenses decreased $575,000 in the
first quarter of 2003 compared to the first quarter of 2002 primarily due to
recoveries of real estate owned expenses during 2003, loan workout expenses
during 2002 and an uncollectible receivable from a client of KMR during 2002.
Average earning assets for the first quarter of 2003 were $999.8 million
compared to $809.6 million for the first quarter of 2002. The increase in
earning assets during the three months ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable
period in 2002 was primarily due to higher levels of investments in
mortgage-backed securities. Tax-equivalent interest income for the first quarter
of 2003 increased $702,000, or 5%, over the same period in 2002 while interest
expense decreased $271,000, or 4%, for the same period.
Loans and leases outstanding increased $36.3 million to $502.1 million at
March 31, 2003 from $465.8 million at December 31, 2002. This increase was
primarily due to growth in commercial real estate loans, construction loans and
consumer loans. The Company reported non-performing assets of $5.4 million at
March 31, 2003, level with $5.4 million at December 31, 2002 and a decrease of
$8.2 million compared to $13.6 million at March 31, 2002. The decrease in
non-performing assets from March 31, 2002 was primarily the result of principal
payments, charge-offs and a net decrease in real estate owned of $4.2 million
from acquisitions and sales related to commercial real estate loans. The Company
reported net recoveries of $51 thousand for the period ended March 31, 2003
versus $2.6 million of net charge offs for the comparable period in 2002. As of
December 31, 2002, the Company had no real estate owned. The Company's
non-performing assets to total assets ratio at March 31, 2003 was .49% compared
to .54% at December 31, 2002 and 1.55% at March 31, 2002. The non-performing
loans to assets ratio was .49 % at March 31, 2003 compared to .54% at December
31, 2002 and 1.07% at March 31, 2002. The ratio of the allowance for loan and
lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.44% at March 31, 2003 compared to
1.39% at December 31, 2002 and 1.84% at March 31, 2002.
Total deposits increased $20.1 million to $711.6 million at March 31, 2003
from $691.5 million at December 31, 2002. Total assets increased to $1.11
billion at March 31, 2003 from $1.02 billion at December 31, 2002.
At March 31, 2003, Progress Bank's Tier 1 leverage and total risk-based
capital ratios were 7.31% and 14.39% as compared to 7.82% and 15.20% at December
31, 2002.
