ISELIN, N.J., July 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFS ) (the "Company") reported net income of $16.4 million, or $0.28 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $19.2 million, or $0.34 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company reported net income of $33.4 million, or $0.57 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $37.1 million, or $0.65 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 $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 six months ended June 30, 2014 included net non-recurring items related to the acquisition of Team Capital that reduced earnings by $1.2 million and $1.3 million, net of tax, respectively.
Earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were further impacted by a $790,000, net of tax, non-cash charge related to 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 were $18.3 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, and $35.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, respectively.
Christopher Martin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our core earnings of $0.31 per share (1) which reflect non-recurring items this quarter associated with the closing of the Team Capital acquisition, and a non-cash pension expense." Martin continued: "We are energized by the progress to date in combining Team Capital's business with ours. With the addition of their dedicated branch employees and loan officers, we look forward to expanding our commitment to meeting the financial needs of both existing and new customers in western New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania."
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend

Balance Sheet Summary
Total assets increased $962.0 million to $8.45 billion at June 30, 2014, from $7.49 billion at December 31, 2013, primarily due to $964.0 million of total assets from the Team Capital acquisition, partially offset by decreases in total investments and cash and cash equivalents.
The Company's loan portfolio increased $715.3 million, or 13.8%, to $5.91 billion at June 30, 2014, from $5.19 billion at December 31, 2013, which included $631.4 million of loans acquired from Team Capital.

Total investments increased $109.0 million, or 6.9%, to $1.68 billion at June 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 $29.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, to $96.1 million, primarily due to assets acquired from Team Capital at a fair value of $24.8 million.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, Bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI") increased $24.4 million primarily due to BOLI acquired from Team Capital at a fair value of $22.3 million.
Total deposits increased $635.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $5.84 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 June 30, 2014, core deposits, which consist of savings and demand deposit accounts, totaled $4.96 billion, compared to $4.40 billion at December 31, 2013. Within the core deposit category, non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $163.6 million to $1.03 billion at June 30, 2014.

Borrowed funds increased $215.0 million, or 17.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2014, to $1.42 billion, as longer-term wholesale funding was added to mitigate interest rate risk. Borrowed funds represented 16.8% of total assets at June 30, 2014, an increase from 16.1% at December 31, 2013.
Stockholders' equity increased $110.6 million, or 10.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, to $1.12 billion, due to total 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled 231,575 shares at an average cost of $16.75 per share.

Results of Operations
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net interest income increased $4.0 million, to $57.4 million, from $53.4 million for the same period in 2013. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2014, increased $5.3 million, to $112.6 million, from $107.3 million for the same period in 2013. Both comparative periods were favorably impacted by the net assets acquired from Team Capital, partially offset by compression in the net interest margin. Current quarter and, to a lesser extent, year-to-date 2014 yields and costs were impacted by fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities acquired from Team Capital as of the May 30, 2014 merger date. The earning asset yield was further impacted by the retention of lower-yielding excess liquidity, pending the closing of the Team Capital acquisition.
The Company's net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 3.24% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, from 3.28% for the trailing quarter.

The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 0.34%, compared with 0.43% for the same period last year. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits totaled $888.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $813.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The average cost of borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was 1.92%, compared with 2.13% for the same period last year.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income totaled $10.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 18.3%, compared to the same period in 2013. Income related to BOLI decreased $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to lower death benefit claims recognized. Fee income decreased $699,000 to $7.6 million, from $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to an $807,000 decrease in commercial loan prepayment fee income, partially offset by a $446,000 increase in wealth management fees. In addition, net gains on securities transactions declined $313,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. Other income increased $69,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to same period in 2013, due to a $486,000 gain recognized in the current period on the prepayment of FHLB borrowings acquired from Team Capital, increased net gains on sales of foreclosed real estate, and a reduction in gains on loan sales.
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, non-interest income totaled $18.4 million, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 18.3%, compared to the same period in 2013. Fee income decreased $1.8 million, to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, largely due to a $2.0 million decrease in prepayment fees on commercial loans, partially offset by a $728,000 increase in wealth management fees. BOLI income decreased $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, principally due to lower death benefit claims recognized in the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 declined $1.2 million compared to the same period in 2013. These decreases were partially offset by a $114,000 increase in other income for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, primarily due to increased net gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate, the gain recognized on the prepayment of FHLB borrowings acquired from Team Capital, and a reduction in gains on loan sales.
Non-Interest Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2014, non-interest expense increased $5.9 million, to $43.7 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Compensation and benefits expense increased $3.4 million to $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to increased salary expense and $383,000 of severance and retention expense associated with the Team Capital acquisition, and a $1.3 million charge related to lump-sum pension distributions made to vested terminated employees as the Company seeks to lower and reduce the volatility of its future pension costs. This non-contributory pension plan was frozen as to new participants on April 1, 2003. Other operating expenses increased $2.0 million to $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2013, largely due to $1.7 million of non-recurring costs related to the Team Capital transaction. In addition, net occupancy costs increased $579,000, to $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared to same quarter in 2013, principally due to increased equipment maintenance costs and additional facilities costs related to Team Capital.
The Company's annualized core non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets (4) was 2.06% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with 2.10% for the same period in 2013. The efficiency ratio (core non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and core non-interest income) (5) was 59.84% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, compared with 57.25% for the same period in 2013.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $81.9 million, an increase of $7.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2013. Compensation and benefits expense increased $4.0 million to $45.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to increased salary expense, 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. Other operating expenses increased $1.7 million to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $12.7 million for the same period in 2013, primarily due to non-recurring costs related to Team Capital. In addition, net occupancy costs increased $1.5 million, to $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to same period in 2013, principally due to increased seasonal expense in the first quarter of 2014 related to the harsh winter conditions, increased equipment maintenance costs and the addition of facilities costs related to Team Capital. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, the amortization of intangibles decreased $225,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the same period in 2013, as a result of scheduled reductions in core deposit intangible amortization, and FDIC insurance costs declined $194,000 as a result of a lower assessment rate.
Asset Quality
The Company's total non-performing loans at June 30, 2014 were$65.4 million, or 1.11% of total loans, compared with $64.1 million, or 1.22% of total loans at March 31, 2014, and $88.8 million, or 1.78% of total loans at June 30, 2013. The $1.3 million increase in non-performing loans at June 30, 2014, compared with the trailing quarter, was due to a $1.6 million increase in non-performing commercial loans and a $521,000 increase in non-performing commercial mortgage loans, offset by $662,000 and $115,000 decreases in non-performing residential loans and non-performing consumer loans, respectively. At June 30, 2014, impaired loans totaled $93.8 million with related specific reserves of $8.5 million, compared with impaired loans totaling $94.6 million with related specific reserves of $7.1 million at March 31, 2014. At June 30, 2013, impaired loans totaled $115.8 million with related specific reserves of $6.8 million. Non-performing loans do not include $9.4 million of purchased credit impaired ("PCI") loans acquired from Team Capital.
At June 30, 2014, the Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.08% of total loans, a decrease from 1.21% at March 31, 2014, and a decrease from 1.34% of total loans at June 30, 2013. The decline in the loan coverage ratio from both the trailing quarter and the quarter ended June 30, 2013, was largely a result of Team Capital loans acquired at fair value, with no corresponding allowance. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared with provisions of $1.0 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had net charge-offs of $1.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, compared with net charge-offs of $4.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2013. The allowance for loan losses decreased $789,000 to $63.9 million at June 30, 2014, from $64.7 million at December 31, 2013.
At June 30, 2014, the Company held $7.0 million of foreclosed assets, compared with $5.5 million at December 31, 2013. Foreclosed assets at June 30, 2014 consisted of $2.8 million of residential real estate, $4.1 million of commercial real estate and $90,000 of marine vessels. Total non-performing assets at June 30, 2014 declined $9.8 million, or 12.0%, to $72.3 million, or 0.86% of total assets, from $82.2 million, or 1.10% of total assets at December 31, 2013.
Income Tax Expense
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company's income tax expense was $6.2 million and $13.9 million, respectively, compared with $8.0 million and $15.6 million, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily a function of 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 rates were 27.5% and 29.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared with 29.4% and 29.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
