Latest News by Industry
AMESBURY, Mass., May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Provident Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NasdaqCM: PVBC), the holding company for BankProv (the "Bank"), reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 of $2.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to $2.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 and $5.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
In announcing these results, Carol Houle, Co-President and Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer said, "Heading into the first quarter our primary objective was the development and implementation of a renewed strategic direction. We are pleased that our financial results met our expectations and are proud of the hard work and dedication of our employees in their efforts to achieve our objectives."
"The high-profile failures of a few large financial institutions had widespread impacts during the first quarter of 2023. The importance of liquidity, diversification, and deposit insurance was thrust into the spotlight and in response, we took decisive action to reaffirm our secure position in each of these areas and to reassure our customers of the safety of their deposits. We are happy that our institution was able to weather much of the negative fallout and are extremely thankful for the continued support of our customers and communities." said Joe Reilly, Co-Chief Executive Officer.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first quarter of 2023, failures of two large financial institutions resulted in increased scrutiny on the balance sheets and liquidity positions of financial institutions across the industry. BankProv was well insulated from the fallout that resulted from the market turmoil and did not experience significant deposit outflow. We believe this resulted from the following:
Income Statement Results
Quarter Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Quarter Ended December 31, 2022
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net interest and dividend income was $15.8 million, which represents a decrease of $2.9 million, or 15.6%, when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Net interest and dividend income was negatively impacted by an increase in interest expense of $2.5 million, or 111.7%, to $4.8 million compared to $2.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 as well as a decrease in interest and dividend income of $391,000, or 1.9%, to $20.6 million compared to $21.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 111 basis points to 2.03% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to 0.92% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to rising interest rates and a larger proportion of the portfolio consisting of higher-cost certificates of deposit. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $15.7 million, or 2.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to decreases in the average balances of NOW, money market and savings accounts, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of certificates of deposit.
Interest and dividend income decreased primarily due to decreases in the average balance of loans of $52.3 million, or 3.6%, driven by decreases in our digital asset and mortgage warehouse portfolios. Interest and dividend income also decreased due to a decrease in average short-term investments of $8.8 million, or 17.7%. The decreases in the average balances of loans and short-term investments was partially offset by an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets of 12 basis points to 5.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to 5.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, which was primarily driven by rising interest rates and the origination of higher-yielding loans.
Credit loss expense of $1.8 million was recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, and was based on the new expected loss model, compared to a benefit of $992,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, which was based on the incurred loss model. The credit loss expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by the need to replenish the allowance due to net charge-offs which totaled $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and were predominantly related to our enterprise value portfolio. The increase in the expense caused by net charge-offs was offset by a credit loss benefit for unfunded commitments due to a decrease in the balance of unfunded commitments during the first quarter of 2023 primarily resulting from the closure of a $36 million digital asset line and the freeze of the availability on an outstanding $35 million digital asset line due to non-compliance. The benefit of $992,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 was based on the incurred loss methodology and was primarily the result of a decrease in loans during the fourth quarter of 2022.
Noninterest income was $1.9 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Other service charges and fees decreased $269,000, or 37.4%, primarily due to decreases in non-recurring prepayment penalties on commercial and commercial real estate loans received during the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease from other service charges and fees was offset by increases in other income and customer service fees on deposit accounts. Other income increased $243,000 primarily due to gains on sales of other repossessed assets and a semi-annual commission related to a sold loan. Customer service fees on deposit accounts increased $37,000, or 3.9%, primarily due to fees generated from customer debit card usage.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, noninterest expense was $13.2 million, which represents a decrease of $4.0 million, or 23.3%, when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in other expense, professional fees, salaries and employee benefits, and deposit insurance. Other expense decreased $1.5 million, or 68.6%, primarily due to a decrease in write-downs on other repossessed assets and the reduction in expenses related to these assets, as well as a reduction in loan servicing fees. The reduction in write-downs on other repossessed assets and the expenses related to these assets was primarily due to a majority of the remaining repossessed assets, which consisted of cryptocurrency mining rigs, being sold during the first quarter of 2023 at a gain from the December 31, 2022 valuation due to rises in the value of Bitcoin which increased the value of the rigs. The reduction in loan servicing fees was primarily due to the cessation of servicing fees as a result of the non-performing status of a loan relationship that is serviced by a third party. Professional fees decreased $1.1 million, or 44.4%, primarily due to decreased legal, audit and compliance costs which were elevated for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 due to services pertaining to the events that led to the losses recorded during 2022. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $1.0 million, or 10.7%, primarily due to a $1.5 million expense in the fourth quarter of 2022 related to the Separation Agreement and Full and Final Release of Claims with our former President and Chief Executive Officer, as reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K on December 23, 2022. The decrease in deposit insurance of $279,000, or 50.1%, was due to a decrease in the FDIC's insurance assessment.
Quarter Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2022
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, net interest and dividend income was $15.8 million, which represents a decrease of $2.1 million, or 11.8%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The net interest and dividend income for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was negatively impacted by an increase in interest expense of $4.3 million, or 816.4%, to $4.8 million compared to $525,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which was offset by an increase in interest and dividend income of $2.1 million, or 11.8%, to $20.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to $18.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Interest expense increased primarily due to rising interest rates and a larger proportion of higher-cost certificates of deposit in the portfolio. Rising interest rates resulted in an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits of 180 basis points to 2.03% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to 0.23% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $31.4 million, or 3.9%.
Interest and dividend income increased primarily due to rising interest rates, which resulted in an increased yield on interest-earning assets. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 114 basis points to 5.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to 4.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increased interest and dividend income caused by the increase in yield was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $178.6 million, or 10.9%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of short-term investments of $96.0 million, or 70.1%, and a decrease in the average balance of loans of $77.3 million, or 5.3%.
Credit loss expense of $1.8 million was recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 compared to $83,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which represents an increase of $1.7 million. The credit loss expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by the need to replenish the allowance due to net charge-offs which totaled $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and were predominantly related to our enterprise value portfolio. The increase in the expense caused by net charge-offs was offset by a credit loss benefit for unfunded commitments recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 due to a decrease in the balance of unfunded commitments during the first quarter of 2023 primarily resulting from the closure of a $36 million digital asset line and the freeze of the availability on an outstanding $35 million digital asset line due to non-compliance. The $83,000 provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was based on the incurred loss model, and was primarily the result of growth in the loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2022.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, noninterest income was $1.9 million, which represents an increase of $627,000, or 47.5%, when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to increases in customer service fees on deposit accounts and other income. Customer service fees on deposit accounts increased $398,000, or 68.5%, which was primarily attributable to implementation and activity fees charged to Banking as a Service ("BaaS") and digital asset customers as well as fees generated from cash vault services for our customers who operate Bitcoin ATMs. Other income increased $241,000 primarily due to gains on sales of other repossessed assets and a semi-annual commission related to a sold loan.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, noninterest expense was $13.2 million, which represents an increase of $2.2 million, or 19.9%, when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits and professional fees. The increase of $1.4 million, or 18.8%, in salary and employee benefits was primarily due to an increase in staff to support the development and implementation of new technologies and products. Professional fees increased $675,000, or 92.7%, primarily due to increased legal fees and audit and compliance costs related to ongoing services pertaining to the events that led to the losses recorded during 2022.
Balance Sheet Results
March 31, 2023 Compared to December 31, 2022
Total assets increased $65.8 million, or 4.0%, to $1.70 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $1.64 billion at December 31, 2022. The primary reason for the increase was an increase in cash and cash equivalents, offset by decreases in net loans, and other repossessed assets. Cash and cash equivalents increased $163.5 million, or 202.8%, primarily due to increased deposit balances and a decrease in net loans. Other repossessed assets decreased $6.1 million due to the sale of the remaining cryptocurrency mining rigs that were repossessed during 2022.
Net loans decreased $92.7 million, or 6.5%, and were $1.32 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $1.42 billion at December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by decreases in mortgage warehouse loans of $64.1 million, or 30.1%, commercial loans of $22.6 million, or 10.4%, and digital asset loans of $13.8 million, or 33.8%. The decrease in our mortgage warehouse loan portfolio was primarily due to decreased usage of the mortgage warehouse lines. The decrease in our commercial loan portfolio was primarily related to payoffs in our traditional in-market loan portfolio. The Bank continues its efforts to wind-down its digital asset lending portfolio. Digital asset loans were $27.0 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to $40.8 million as of December 31, 2022 which represents a decrease $13.8 million, or 33.8%. The decrease in the digital asset loan portfolio was primarily driven by paydowns on outstanding lines of credit as well as the payoff of a $4.8 million loan secured by cryptocurrency mining rigs during the first quarter of 2023.
Total liabilities increased $61.9 million, or 4.3%, to $1.49 billion as of March 31, 2023 compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in deposits offset by a decrease in short-term borrowings. Deposits were $1.40 billion as of March 31, 2023 compared to $1.28 billion as of December 31, 2022, which represents an increase of $124.3 million, or 9.7%. The increase in deposits was primarily related to an increase of $117.0 million in specialty deposits, which were $219.8 million as of March 31, 2023 compared to $102.8 million as of December 31, 2022. Specialty deposits consist of deposits by BaaS and digital asset customers. BaaS deposits totaled $161.7 million as of March 31, 2023 which represents a $116.4 million increase from December 31, 2022, of this balance, the Bank is holding $91.9 million as volatile and holding as cash, as of March 31, 2023. Included in BaaS deposits was $31.0 million related to BaaS customers whose business model focuses on digital assets. Non-BaaS digital asset deposits totaled $58.1 million as of March 31, 2023, which represents a $621,000 increase from December 31, 2022. The increase in deposits was partially offset by a decrease in borrowings of $58.5 million primarily driven by a decrease in overnight borrowings.
As of March 31, 2023, shareholders' equity was $211.5 million compared to $207.5 million at December 31, 2022, which represents an increase of $3.9 million, or 1.9%. The increase was primarily due to net income of $2.1 million. Also contributing to the increase was a one-time, cumulative-effect adjustment for the adoption of CECL which increased retained earnings by $697,000. Shareholders' equity also increased due to other comprehensive income of $631,000, stock-based compensation expense of $319,000, and employee stock ownership plan shares earned of $187,000.
