MLVF - Malvern Bancorp Inc. Reports Fourth Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal 2018 Results

PAOLI, Pa., Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Malvern Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLVF) (the "Company"), parent company of Malvern Bank, National Association (“Malvern” or the “Bank”), today reported operating results for the fourth fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018.   Net income amounted to $2.6 million, or $0.41 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared with net income of $2.0 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. 

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, net income amounted to $7.3 million, or $1.13 per fully diluted common share, compared with net income of $5.8 million, or $0.90 per fully diluted common share, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2017. 

Anthony C. Weagley, President and CEO, commented on the financial results: “We continued to see top line revenue climb this quarter, with consistency in the quarterly results. We continue to improve the balance sheet at measured pace with emphasis on maintaining credit quality and controlling operating overhead.  I am also very pleased that on October 9, 2018, we closed an underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock for gross proceeds of $25.0 million and net proceeds of approximately $23.5 million (after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses).  As previously stated, we intend to use the net proceeds of the offering to increase our capital structure, to fund future organic growth and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for future acquisitions, although we have no present commitments or agreements to do so.”   

Highlights for the quarter include:

  • The annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 1.02 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 0.77 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) was 9.63 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared with 7.70 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2017. 
  • The Company originated $41.0 million in new loans in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, which was offset in part by $32.2 million in participations, payoffs, prepayments and maturities from its portfolio, resulting in net portfolio growth of $8.8 million over the third quarter of fiscal 2018; new loan originations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 consisted of $9.5 million in residential mortgage loans, $21.5 million in commercial loans, $7.7 million in construction and development loans and $2.3 million in consumer loans.  
  • Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) were 0.30 percent of total assets at September 30, 2018, compared to 0.32 percent at June 30, 2018 and 0.12 percent at September 30, 2017. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total non-performing loans was 293.7 percent at September 30, 2018, compared to 268.5 percent at June 30, 2018 and 694.1 percent at September 30, 2017.
  • The Company’s ratio of shareholders’ equity to total assets was 10.72 percent at September 30, 2018, compared to 10.25 percent at June 30, 2018, and 9.80 percent at September 30, 2017.
  • Book value per common share amounted to $16.84 at September 30, 2018, compared to $16.42 at June 30, 2018 and $15.60 at September 30, 2017.  The efficiency ratio, a non-GAAP measure, was 58.2 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to 52.7 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 and 52.3 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.
  • The Company’s total assets decreased by $12.1 million at September 30, 2018, compared to September 30, 2017 and is reflective of an investment of our excess cash holdings into loans and allowing higher costing funding to roll off.

Net Interest Income

The change for the three months ended September 30, 2018 primarily was the result of an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets, which increased $31.0 million.  The net interest spread on an annualized tax-equivalent basis was at 2.64 percent and 2.59 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company’s net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis increased to 2.85 percent as compared to 2.76 percent for the same three-month period in fiscal 2017.

Total interest expense increased by $3.5 million, or 37.6 percent, to $13.0 million, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2017.  Interest income rose for the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the comparable period in fiscal 2017 primarily due to a $117.6 million increase in average loan balances. Compared to the same period in fiscal 2017, for the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, average interest earning assets increased $121.5 million, the net interest spread decreased on an annualized tax-equivalent basis by 9 basis points and the net interest margin decreased on an annualized tax-equivalent basis by 6 basis points.

Other Income

Other income decreased $103,000, or 19.4 percent, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 compared with the same period in fiscal 2017.  The decrease in total other income was due to a $42,000 decrease in net gains on sale of loans, a decrease of $32,000 in other fees and service charges, a $31,000 decrease in net gains on sales of investment securities, and a $4,000 decrease in earnings on bank-owned insurance partially offset by a $6,000 increase in rental income. 

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, total other income increased $963,000 compared to the same period in fiscal 2017, primarily a result of a $1.2 million net gain on the sale of real estate, an increase of $276,000 in other fees and service charges and a $41,000 increase in rental income partially offset by a $463,000 decrease in net gains on sales of investment securities, a $52,000 decrease in net gains on sale of loans, and a $25,000 decrease in earnings on bank-owned insurance.

Other Expense

Total other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018, increased $624,000, or 16.4 percent, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The increase primarily reflected increases in salaries and employee benefits of $453,000, a $53,000 increase in other operating expense, a $92,000 increase in professional fees, a $27,000 increase in occupancy expense, and a $5,000 increase in advertising expense. The increase was partially offset by a $6,000 decrease in data processing expense. The increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily reflects higher compensation to officers and employees to support overall franchise growth. The increase in occupancy expense was mainly due to increased rental expense at branch locations.

For the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, total other expense increased $2.7 million, or 17.5 percent, compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The increase primarily reflected increases in salaries and employee benefits of $1.1 million, a $997,000 increase in professional fees, a $476,000 increase in other operating expense, a $211,000 increase in occupancy expense, and a $54,000 increase in the federal deposit insurance premium. The increase was partially offset by a $97,000 decrease in data processing expense and a $64,000 decrease in advertising expense. Professional fees reflect increased legal and accounting fees for the period related to prior period restatements, which the Company does not expect to continue into future periods. The increase in occupancy expense was mainly due to increased rental expense at branch locations.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded $334,000 in income tax expense during the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $982,000 in income tax expense during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The effective tax rates for the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 11.2 percent and 33.4 percent, respectively.

The Company recorded $4.3 million in income tax expense in fiscal 2018 compared to $2.9 million in income tax expense in fiscal 2017. The effective tax rates for the Company for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were 36.9 percent and 33.4 percent, respectively.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company revised its estimated annual effective rate to reflect a change in the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21%, resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted on December 22, 2017. The rate change was administratively effective at the beginning of our fiscal year, using a blended rate for the annual period. As a result, the blended statutory tax rate for the fiscal year is 24.5%. Net deferred income taxes decreased $3.5 million to $3.2 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $6.7 million at September 30, 2017.

In addition, we recognized a tax expense in our tax provision for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 related to adjusting our deferred tax balance to reflect the new corporate tax rate. As a result, income tax expense reported for the first three months was adjusted to reflect the effects of the change in the tax law and resulted in an increase in income tax expense of $2.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. This amount is the result of a reduction of $323,000 in income tax expense for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017 related to the lower corporate rate and a $2.3 million increase from the application of the newly enacted rates to existing deferred tax assets balances.

  • Balance sheet strength, with total assets amounting to $1.0 billion at September 30, 2018, decreasing $12.1 million, or 1.0 percent, compared to September 30, 2017 is reflective of an investment of our excess cash holdings into loans and allowing higher costing funding to roll off.

At the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the loan portfolio remained weighted toward two primary components: commercial and the core residential portfolio, with commercial real estate accounting for 69.3 percent and single-family residential real estate loans accounting for 21.7 percent of the loan portfolio.  Construction and development loans amounted to 5.1 percent and consumer loans represented 3.9 percent of the loan portfolio at such date.   Total gross loans increased $68.4 million, to $910.6 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $842.1 million at September 30, 2017.  The increase in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017, primarily reflected an increase of $77.0 million in commercial loans and a $4.7 million increase in residential mortgage loans. These increases were partially offset by a $7.3 million decrease in construction and development loans and a $6.0 million reduction in consumer loans at September 30, 2018 as compared to September 30, 2017. 

For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company originated total new loan volume of $41.0 million, which was offset by loan payoffs of $17.3 million, prepayments totaling $8.7 million, and amortization of $6.2 million.

The following reflects the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

At September 30, 2018, the Company had $124.3 million in overall undisbursed loan commitments, which consisted primarily of unused commercial lines of credit, home equity lines of credit and available usage from active construction facilities.   The Company's current "Approved, Accepted but Unfunded" pipeline, includes approximately $49.9 million in commercial and construction loans and $2.5 million in residential mortgage loans expected to fund over the next 90 days.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans were $2.7 million at September 30, 2018 an increase of $1.6 million or 158.9 percent, as compared to $1.0 million at September 30, 2017.  Other real estate owned (“OREO”) remained at zero at both September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017. The increase in non-accrual loans at September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017 was primarily due to eight residential mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $1.3 million, ten consumer loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $306,000, and one legacy commercial loan, with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $520,000 moving to non-accrual status during fiscal 2018.   Total performing troubled debt restructured(‘TDR’) loans were $18.6 million at September 30, 2018 and $2.2 million at September 30, 2017. The increase in TDR loans at September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017 was primarily due to two commercial loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $16.4 million moving to performing TDR status in the second fiscal quarter of 2018.   

At September 30, 2018, non-performing assets totaled $3.1 million, or 0.30 percent of total assets, as compared with $1.2 million, or 0.12 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2017. The increase in non-performing assets at September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the addition of eight residential mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $1.3 million, one commercial loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $520,000 and ten consumer loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $306,000 moving into non-accrual status and a $308,000 increase in residential mortgage loans receivable greater than 90 days and accruing.  The portfolio of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2018 was comprised of fifteen residential real estate loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $1.8 million, one commercial real estate loan with an outstanding balance of $520,000, and twelve consumer loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $350,000.     

The following table presents the components of non-performing assets and other asset quality data for the periods indicated.

______________

(1)  22 loans totaling approximately $1.8 million, or 67.1% of the total non-accrual loan balance, were making payments at September 30, 2018.
(2)  Annualized.

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2018 amounted to approximately $9.0 million, or 0.99 percent of total loans, compared to $8.4 million, or 1.00 percent of total loans, at September 30, 2017.  The Company had a $125,000 provision for loan losses during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to $489,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.  For the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company had a $954,000 and $2.8 million, respectively, provision for loan losses.  Provision expense was lower during fiscal 2018 due to a decrease in loan footings from extraordinary payoffs and paydowns during the first fiscal quarter of 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Reported amounts are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company's management believes that the supplemental non-GAAP information provided in this press release is utilized by market analysts and others to evaluate a company's financial condition and, therefore, that such information is useful to investors. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures presented by other companies.

The Company’s other income is presented in the table below including and excluding net investment securities gains. The Company’s management believes that many investors desire to evaluate other income without regard to such gains.

(1)  Included in non-core items are costs which include expenses related to the Company’s corporate restructuring initiatives, such as professional fees, litigation and settlement costs, severance costs, and external payroll development costs related to such restructuring initiatives. Non-core items for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 consisted of additional legal and accounting fees arising out of matters pertaining to prior period restatements. The Company believes these adjustments are necessary to provide the most accurate measure of core operating results as a means to evaluate comparative results.
 

The Company’s efficiency ratio, calculated on a GAAP basis without excluding net investment securities gains and without deducting non-core items from other expense, follows:

Net interest margin, which is non-interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, is presented on a fully tax equivalent (“TE”) basis as we believe this non-GAAP measure is the preferred industry measurement for this item.  The Company revised its estimated annual effective rate to reflect a change in the federal statutory rate from 35% to 21%, resulting from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.  The TE basis adjusts GAAP interest income and yields for the tax benefit of income on certain tax-exempt investments using the blended statutory rate of 24.5% for the current period and 34% for each of the prior periods presented.  Below is a reconciliation of GAAP net interest income to the TE basis and the related GAAP basis and TE net interest margins for the periods presented.
