    المصدر: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 29 يوليو 2022 08:00:02   America/New_York

    ISELIN, N.J., July 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) (the “Company”) reported net income of $39.2 million, or $0.53 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $44.0 million, or $0.58 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and $44.8 million, or $0.58 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income totaled $83.2 million, or $1.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to $93.3 million, or $1.22 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    Anthony J. Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our solid second quarter results were marked by record quarterly top-line revenue and reflected strong commercial loan growth, net interest margin expansion, and continued stable funding costs. Excluding Paycheck Protection Program loans which continue to pay down through the forgiveness process, our commercial loan portfolio grew at an annualized rate of 17.3%. Our net interest margin expanded 19 basis points from the trailing quarter as new loans were booked at higher market rates and our existing adjustable rate loan portfolio repriced favorably.” Labozzetta continued, “While our asset quality metrics continued to improve during the quarter, we did record a $3.0 million provision for credit losses, primarily due to loan growth. Our loan origination pipeline remains robust, and we continue to leverage our solid core deposit funding base to support organic asset growth, while mindful of macroeconomic headwinds posed by high inflation levels.”

    Declaration of Quarterly Dividend

    The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per common share payable on August 26, 2022, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 12, 2022.

    Performance Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2022

    • The Company’s total commercial loan portfolio, excluding Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, increased $350.9 million, or 17.3% annualized, to $8.48 billion at June 30, 2022, from $8.13 billion at March 31, 2022.
    • Net interest income increased $4.9 million to $99.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $94.5 million for the trailing quarter as a result of strong loan growth, favorable loan repricing and stable funding costs.
    • The net interest margin increased 19 basis points to 3.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from 3.02% for the trailing quarter.
    • The average cost of deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, increased one basis point to 0.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared with 0.19% for the trailing quarter.
    • At June 30, 2022, the Company's loan pipeline, which consists of work-in-process and loans approved pending closing, totaled $1.43 billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.98%.
    • The Company recorded a $3.0 million provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to a $6.4 million negative provision for the trailing quarter. The provision for credit losses in the quarter was largely a function of an increase in total loans outstanding and the relative change in the economic outlook, partially offset by a continued improvement in the Company's asset quality.
    • Asset quality improved as non-performing loans at June 30, 2022 declined $3.9 million to $40.4 million, or 0.40% of total loans, from $44.3 million, or 0.46% of total loans, at March 31, 2022.
    • Annualized returns on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity were 1.16%, 9.83% and 13.82%, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with 1.30%, 10.57% and 14.58%, respectively for the trailing quarter.
    • The Company's annualized pre-tax, pre-provision ("PTPP") return on average assets(1) was 1.65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 1.49% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

    Results of Operations

    Three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022

    For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income was $39.2 million, or $0.53 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $44.0 million, or $0.58 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

    Net interest income increased $4.9 million to $99.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $94.5 million for the trailing quarter. The improvement in net interest income was largely due to the period-over-period increase in the net interest margin as excess liquidity and cash flow from investment securities were invested in higher-yielding loans, combined with the upward repricing of certain adjustable rate loans. This was partially offset by a reduction in the fees related to the forgiveness of PPP loans. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, fees related to the forgiveness of PPP loans, which are recognized in interest income, decreased $912,000 to $192,000, compared to $1.1 million for the trailing quarter.

    The Company’s net interest margin increased 19 basis points to 3.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from 3.02% for the trailing quarter. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased 20 basis points to 3.43%, compared to the trailing quarter. The weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased two basis points to 0.31%, compared to the trailing quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased two basis points to 0.27%, compared to 0.25% for the trailing quarter. The average cost of total deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, was 0.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 0.19% for the trailing quarter. The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 0.84%, compared to 0.86% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $3.0 million provision for credit losses, compared with a negative provision for credit losses of $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was largely a function of an increase in total loans outstanding and the relative change in the economic outlook, partially offset by an overall improvement in the Company's asset quality.

    Non-Interest Income and Expense

    For the three months ended June 30, 2022, non-interest income totaled $20.9 million, an increase of $784,000, compared to the trailing quarter. Other income increased $752,000 to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to an increase in net gains on the sale of loans. Fee income increased $535,000 to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily due to increases in commercial loan prepayment fees and non-deposit investment fee income, partially offset by a decrease in debit card revenue. BOLI income increased $384,000 compared to the trailing quarter, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a benefit claim recognized in the quarter, partially offset by lower equity valuations. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest income, insurance agency income decreased $570,000 compared to the trailing quarter, to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to the receipt of contingent commissions in the trailing quarter. Additionally, wealth management income decreased $442,000 compared to the trailing quarter, to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in the market value of assets under management.

    Non-interest expense totaled $63.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $2.0 million, compared to $61.9 million for the trailing quarter. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $1.0 million negative provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures, compared to a $2.4 million negative provision for the trailing quarter. The decreased negative provision was primarily due to a decrease in line of credit utilization. Other operating expenses increased $459,000 to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the trailing quarter. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily due to increases in attorney fees and debit card expense. Compensation and benefits expense increased $370,000 to $37.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $37.1 million for the trailing quarter. The increase in compensation and benefit expense was primarily attributable to increases in stock-based compensation, the accrual for incentive compensation and salary expense, partially offset by a decrease in payroll taxes. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by an $851,000 decrease in net occupancy expense to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the trailing quarter, mainly due to seasonal decreases and reduced rent expense.

    The Company’s annualized adjusted non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets(1) was 1.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 1.90% for the trailing quarter. The efficiency ratio (adjusted non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income)(1) was 53.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 56.05% for the trailing quarter.

    Income Tax Expense

    For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's income tax expense was $14.3 million with an effective tax rate of 26.8%, compared with income tax expense of $15.2 million with an effective tax rate of 25.7% for the trailing quarter. The decrease in tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with the trailing quarter was largely due to a decrease in taxable income, while the increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with the trailing quarter was largely due to an increase in the proportion of income derived from taxable sources.

    Three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021

    For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income was $39.2 million, or $0.53 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $44.8 million, or $0.58 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

    Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

    Net interest income increased $8.6 million to $99.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from $90.9 million for same period in 2021. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by growth in average earning assets, largely due to increases in available for sale debt securities and average loans outstanding, funded by growth in lower-costing core deposits and the reinvestment of cash proceeds from PPP loan satisfactions. This was partially offset by a reduction in the fees related to the forgiveness of PPP loans. For three months ended June 30, 2022, fees related to the forgiveness of PPP loans decreased $2.7 million to $192,000, compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

    The Company’s net interest margin increased 22 basis points to 3.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, from 2.99% for the same period last year. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 increased 12 basis points to 3.43%, compared to 3.31% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The weighted average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 13 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 to 0.31%, compared to 0.44% for the second quarter of 2021. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 0.27%, compared to 0.34% for the same period last year. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $298.1 million to $2.78 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.48 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The average cost of total deposits, including non-interest bearing deposits, was 0.20% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared with 0.26% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 0.84%, compared to 1.18% for the same period last year.

    Provision for Credit Losses

    For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a $3.0 million provision for credit losses, compared with a negative provision for credit losses of $10.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The increase in the provision was largely a function of the relative change in the economic outlook and the significant favorable impact of the post-pandemic recovery in the prior year period, partially offset by an overall improvement in the Company's asset quality.

    Non-Interest Income and Expense

    Non-interest income totaled $20.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $224,000, compared to the same period in 2021. Fee income decreased $1.0 million to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to decreases in debit card revenue and commercial loan prepayment fees, partially offset by an increase in deposit related fees. The decrease in debit card revenue was largely attributable to the interchange transaction fee limitation imposed by the Durbin amendment, which became effective for the Company in the third quarter of 2021. Wealth management income decreased $835,000 to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in the market value of assets under management. Partially offsetting these decreases in non-interest income, other income increased $1.5 million to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in fees on loan-level interest rate swap transactions and net gains on the sale of loans.

    For the three months ended June 30, 2022, non-interest expense totaled $63.8 million, an increase of $1.1 million, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Compensation and benefits expense increased $2.6 million to $37.4 million for three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $34.9 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was principally due to increases in stock-based compensation, salary expense and the accrual for incentive compensation, partially offset by a decline in employee medical expenses. Other operating expenses increased $780,000 to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, principally due to an increase in business development expenses. Net occupancy expenses increased $572,000 to $8.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, largely due to increases in rent, depreciation and maintenance expenses, while FDIC insurance decreased $220,000 due to a decrease in the insurance assessment rate, partially offset by an increase in total assets subject to assessment. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest expense, credit loss expense for off-balance sheet credit exposures decreased $3.0 million to a negative provision of $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a $2.1 million provision for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the pipeline of loans approved and awaiting closing, combined with an increase in line of credit utilization, partially offset by an increase in loss factors.

    The Company’s annualized adjusted non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets(1) was 1.92% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, compared to 1.84% for the same period in 2021. The efficiency ratio (adjusted non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income)(1) was 53.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to 54.12% for the same respective period in 2021.

    Income Tax Expense

    For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's income tax expense was $14.3 million with an effective tax rate of 26.8%, compared with $15.3 million with an effective tax rate of 25.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with the same period last year was largely the result of a decrease in taxable income, while the increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2021, was largely due to an increase in the proportion of income derived from taxable sources.

    Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021

    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income totaled $83.2 million, or $1.11 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $93.3 million, or $1.22 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

    Net interest income increased $13.1 million to $194.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from $180.9 million for same period in 2021. The increase in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily driven by a reduction in funding costs, growth in lower-costing core and non-interest bearing deposits and an increase in available for sale debt securities. Net interest income was further enhanced by the favorable repricing of adjustable rate loans and an increase in rates on new loan originations. This was partially offset by a reduction in fees related to the forgiveness of PPP loans. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, fees related to the forgiveness of PPP loans decreased $3.1 million to $1.3 million, compared to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the net interest margin increased nine basis points to 3.11%, compared to 3.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The average cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 10 basis points to 0.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 0.36% for the same period last year. Average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $352.6 million to $2.78 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with $2.43 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The average cost of borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 0.85%, compared to 1.15% for the same period last year.

The decrease in the period-over-period provision benefit was largely a function of the significant favorable impact of the post-pandemic recovery resulting in a larger negative provision taken in the prior year period, combined with growth in the loan portfolio and the satisfaction of PPP loans.

    Non-Interest Income and Expense

    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, non-interest income totaled $41.1 million, a decrease of $1.7 million, compared to the same period in 2021. Fee income decreased $1.3 million to $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in debit card revenue, which was curtailed by the Durbin amendment, partially offset by an increase in deposit related fees. BOLI income decreased $1.3 million to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to lower equity valuations and a decrease in benefit claims recognized. Wealth management income decreased $504,000 to $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to a decrease in the market value of assets under management and a decrease in tax preparation fees, partially offset with new business generation. Partially offsetting these decreases in non-interest income, other income increased $864,000 to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2021, mainly due to an increase in fees on loan-level interest rate swap transactions.

Compensation and benefits expense increased $4.3 million to $74.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $70.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increases in stock-based compensation, salary expense and the accrual for incentive compensation, partially offset by a decrease in employee benefit expenses. Data processing expense increased $1.2 million to $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, mainly due to increases in software subscription expense and online banking costs. Additionally, net occupancy expense increased $602,000 to $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, mainly due to increases in rent, depreciation and maintenance expenses, a portion of which were attributable to the Company's new administrative offices. Partially offsetting these increases, credit loss expense for off-balance sheet credit exposures decreased $4.5 million to a negative provision of $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a $1.2 million provision for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the pipeline of loans approved and awaiting closing, combined with an increase in line of credit utilization, partially offset by an increase in loss factors. FDIC insurance decreased $785,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to a decrease in the insurance assessment rate, partially offset by an increase in total assets subject to assessment.

    Income Tax Expense

    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's income tax expense was $29.6 million with an effective tax rate of 26.2%, compared with $31.5 million with an effective tax rate of 25.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with the same period last year was largely the result of a decrease in taxable income, while the increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the with the prior year was largely due to an increase in the proportion of income derived from taxable sources.

    Asset Quality

    The Company’s total non-performing loans at June 30, 2022 were $40.4 million, or 0.40% of total loans, compared to $44.3 million, or 0.46% of total loans at March 31, 2022 and $48.0 million, or 0.50% of total loans at December 31, 2021. The $3.9 million decrease in non-performing loans at June 30, 2022, compared to the trailing quarter, consisted of a $2.0 million decrease in non-performing residential mortgage loans, a $1.8 million decrease in non-performing commercial loans, a $906,000 decrease in non-performing commercial mortgage loans, a $207,000 decrease in non-performing consumer loans and a $1.1 million increase in non-performing construction loans. At June 30, 2022, impaired loans totaled $45.1 million with related specific reserves of $1.5 million, compared with impaired loans totaling $48.3 million with related specific reserves of $2.0 million at March 31, 2022. At December 31, 2021, impaired loans totaled $52.3 million with related specific reserves of $4.3 million.

The allowance for credit losses decreased $1.7 million to $79.0 million at June 30, 2022 from $80.7 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans at June 30, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021 was due to a $3.4 million negative provision for credit losses, partially offset by net recoveries of $1.7 million. The reduction in the allowance for credit losses on loans was primarily the result of an overall improvement in asset quality and an improved economic forecast.

    The following table sets forth accruing past due loans and non-accrual loans on the dates indicated, as well as certain asset quality ratios.

    At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company held foreclosed assets of $9.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were two additions to foreclosed assets with an aggregate carrying value of $625,000, one property sold with an aggregate carrying value of $80,000 and a valuation charge of $200,000. Foreclosed assets at June 30, 2022 consisted primarily of commercial real estate. Total non-performing assets at June 30, 2022 decreased $7.2 million to $49.5 million, or 0.36% of total assets, from $56.8 million, or 0.41% of total assets at December 31, 2021.

    Balance Sheet Summary

    Total assets at June 30, 2022 were $13.72 billion, a $65.3 million decrease from December 31, 2021. The decrease in total assets was primarily due to a $434.9 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $115.8 million decrease in total investments, partially offset by a $410.8 million increase in total loans.

    The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $9.99 billion at June 30, 2022 and $9.58 billion at December 31, 2021. The loan portfolio consists of the following:

    Total loans$9,992,445  $9,662,882  $9,581,624 

    Total PPP loans outstanding, which are included in total commercial loans, decreased $78.2 million to $16.7 million at June 30, 2022, from $94.9 million at December 31, 2021 due to the forgiveness of such loans as the program winds down. Excluding the decrease in PPP loans, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company experienced net increases of $309.0 million in commercial mortgage loans, $81.3 million in commercial loans, $80.7 million in multi-family loans and $44.9 million in construction loans, partially offset by net decreases in residential mortgage and consumer loans of $21.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Commercial loans, consisting of commercial real estate, multi-family, commercial and construction loans, represented 85.0% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 2022, compared to 84.1% at December 31, 2021.

    For the six months ended June 30, 2022, loan funding, including advances on lines of credit, totaled $2.15 billion, compared with $1.67 billion for the same period in 2021.

    At June 30, 2022, the Company’s unfunded loan commitments totaled $2.06 billion, including commitments of $980.3 million in commercial loans, $647.4 million in construction loans and $138.4 million in commercial mortgage loans. Unfunded loan commitments at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 were $2.05 billion and $2.16 billion, respectively.

    The loan pipeline, consisting of work-in-process and loans approved pending closing, totaled $1.43 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $1.09 billion and $1.70 billion at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

    Cash and cash equivalents were $277.5 million at June 30, 2022, a $434.9 million decrease from December 31, 2021, primarily as a result of decreases in short term investments.

    Total investments were $2.41 billion at June 30, 2022, a $115.8 million decrease from December 31, 2021. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities, repayments of mortgage-backed securities and maturities and calls of certain municipal and agency bonds, partially offset by purchases of mortgage-backed and municipal securities.

    Total deposits decreased $359.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, to $10.87 billion. Total savings and demand deposit accounts decreased $333.9 million to $10.21 billion at June 30, 2022, while total time deposits decreased $25.9 million to $666.6 million at June 30, 2022. The decrease in savings and demand deposits was largely attributable to a $463.6 million decrease in interest bearing demand deposits, as the Company shifted $360.0 million of brokered demand deposits into lower-costing Federal Home Loan Bank of New York ("FHLB") borrowings, partially offset by a $52.3 million increase in non-interest bearing demand deposits, a $51.8 million increase in savings deposits and a $25.5 million increase in money market deposits. The decrease in time deposits was primarily due to maturities of longer-term retail time deposits, partially offset by the inflow of brokered time deposits.

    Borrowed funds increased $375.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, to $1.00 billion. The increase in borrowings for the period was largely due to the maturity and replacement of brokered deposits into lower-costing FHLB borrowings. Borrowed funds represented 7.3% of total assets at June 30, 2022, an increase from 4.5% at December 31, 2021.

    Stockholders’ equity decreased $111.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, to $1.59 billion, primarily due to an increase in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities, dividends paid to stockholders and common stock repurchases, partially offset by net income earned for the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, common stock repurchases totaled 760,466 shares at an average cost of $23.00 per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, common stock repurchases totaled 2,042,541 shares at an average cost of $23.23 per share, of which 15,457 shares, at an average cost of $23.48 per share, were made in connection with withholding to cover income taxes on the vesting of stock-based compensation. At June 30, 2022, approximately 1.1 million shares remained eligible for repurchase under the current stock repurchase authorization. Book value per share and tangible book value per share(1) at June 30, 2022 were $21.09 and $14.94, respectively, compared with $22.05 and $16.02, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

    Notes and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
    (Dollars in Thousands, except share data)

    The Company has presented the following non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company’s industry. Investors should recognize that the Company’s presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and the Company strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.
