PAOLI, Pa., March 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Malvern Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLVF) (the “Company”), the parent company of Malvern Bank, National Association (the “Bank”), today reported operating results for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 amounted to $2.3 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted common share, compared with net income of $785,000, or $0.10 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The increases in net income and diluted earnings per share from the first quarter of 2019 were primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan losses. Provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $1.6 million lower than in the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 0.74 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, compared to 0.26 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, and annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) was 6.38 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, compared with 2.19 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

“The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create an unprecedented environment. While we are seeing bright spots as business activity resumes, the economic outlook is still uncertain. We do not take for granted the segments of the market that have exhibited some return to normalcy as the operating environment is still fragile. To that end, we continue to identify and proactively address credit issues, sustain good core operating income and adapt our business model to challenges and opportunities,” commented Anthony C. Weagley, President and Chief Executive Officer. 

Ongoing Impact of COVID–19

The Company continues to take the necessary steps to protect the health and well-being of both its employees and clients, and to assist clients who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Company also continues to focus on meeting the needs of its client base during the pandemic by maintaining close communication with both individual and commercial customers and considering deferral extensions on an as-needed and case-by-case basis.

There remains significant uncertainty about COVID-19, including the extent and duration of the impact on individuals, communities and the Company. While it is not possible to know at this time the full impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s operations, the Company will continue to disclose potentially material items of which it is aware.

Loan Deferrals

The Bank continues to provide payment deferrals and forbearances to business customers and mortgage customers that are experiencing hardship because of the effects of COVID-19. At December 31, 2020, the Company had 16 COVID-19-related modified loan deferrals totaling approximately $68.9 million (down approximately $75.9 million or 52{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} from 43 COVID-19-related modified loan deferrals totaling approximately $144.8 million at September 30, 2020). At March 8, 2021, the Company had seven COVID-19-related modified loan deferrals totaling $1.9 million or 0.2{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} of total loans. Of the remaining $1.9 million of loan deferrals, approximately $1.5 million or 79{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} of the deferrals are paying the contractual interest payments.

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) Loans

The Company participated in the initial paycheck protection program, (“PPP”) when the program was officially launched by the SBA and Treasury Department under the CARES Act. Recognizing the significance of operational risk that this portfolio of loans poses, and the continued complexity and uncertainty surrounding evolving regulatory pronouncements regarding various aspects of the PPP, management reviewed several options for continued servicing of the PPP loan portfolio through forgiveness and beyond. After thoughtful consideration, the Company concluded that it is in the best interests of both the Bank and our PPP borrowers that the loans be serviced by an organization that has the servicing infrastructure in place to support the significant volume and short timeframe involved in the complex and evolving PPP forgiveness process. In that regard, in mid-December, the Bank sold substantially all of its PPP loans to a seasoned and experienced non-bank lender and servicer of SBA loans. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a $202,000 net gain on the sale of approximately $19.7 million of PPP loans, which was recorded as non-interest income for the period ended December 31, 2020. We are currently working with the same third party in order for our customers to be able to participate in the updated PPP loan program adopted as part of the COVID-19 stimulus bill enacted in December 2020 as part of the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $7.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $416,000, or 6.0 percent, from $6.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The NIM on an annualized basis increased from 2.33 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 to 2.62 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, NIM increased by 29 basis points to 2.62 percent, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily driven by the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, which decreased by 67 basis points compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2020.

Total Interest Income

For the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, total interest income was $10.6 million and $11.8 million, respectively. Average interest-earning assets decreased $71.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019, while the average yield on interest-earning assets declined 19 basis points when compared to the same period in 2019. The average yield was primarily affected by the Federal Reserve Board’s zero rate policy.

Interest Expense

For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, interest expense decreased by $1.7 million, or 33.5 percent, to $3.3 million, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in interest expense on deposits is primarily attributable to a decrease of $56.5 million in certificates of deposits, and a 67 basis point decrease in the rate on interest-bearing deposits.

The annualized average rate of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 15 basis points to 1.30 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, compared to 1.45{14cc2b5881a050199a960a1a3483042b446231310e72f0dc471a7a1eddd6b0c3} for the fourth (September 30, 2020) fiscal quarter of 2020. For the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the average balance of total interest-bearing liabilities increased by $13.7 million, reflecting an increase in the average balance of total interest-bearing deposit accounts of $12.0 million and an increase in the average balance of borrowings of $1.7 million, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020.  

Other Income

Other income increased $781,000, or 176.3 percent, during the first fiscal quarter of 2021 compared with the first fiscal quarter of 2020. The increase in other income was primarily due to increases of $401,000 in net gains on sale of loans which includes $202,000 on the gain on sale of $19.7 million of PPP loans and $355,000 in net gains on sale of investments.  The gain on sale of loans was a result of a strategic effort to originate and sell residential loans in this low interest rate environment. The net gain on sale of investments resulted from managing and optimizing portfolio activity in the ordinary course of business.

Other Expense

Other expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 increased $550,000, or 12.4 percent, when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to increases of $222,000 in professional fees associated with legal, accounting, and audit expenses. Other increases included $147,000 in salaries and employee benefits due to normal increases to salary and benefits to support overall franchise growth, $125,000 in other operating expenses, and $79,000 in federal deposit insurance premium expense.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded $733,000 in income tax expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 compared to $26,000 in income tax benefit during the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The effective tax rates for the Company for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were 24.4 percent and (3.4) percent, respectively. During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded discrete items that reduced the effective tax rate.

Loans

Total net loans amounted to $990.3 million at December 31, 2020 compared to $1.027 billion at September 30, 2020, for a net decrease of $36.5 million or 3.6 percent for the period. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $13.0 million, or 1.30 percent of total loans at December 31, 2020 and $12.4 million or 1.22 percent of total loans excluding PPP loans at September 30, 2020.  Average loan balances for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 totaled $1.032 billion as compared to $1.046 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, representing a 0.95 percent decrease.

At the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2021, the gross loan portfolio remained weighted toward two primary components: commercial and the core residential portfolio, with commercial loans accounting for 66.4 percent and single-family residential real estate loans accounting for 23.2 percent. Construction and development loans amounted to 7.6 percent and consumer loans represented 2.8 percent of the gross loan portfolio at such date. The decrease in the gross loan portfolio at December 31, 2020 compared to September 30, 2020 primarily reflected decreases of $12.2 million in commercial loans net of the sale of $19.7 million of PPP loans, $9.6 million in residential mortgage loans, and $2.8 million in consumer loans, which were partially offset by an increase of $7.8 million in construction and development loans

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company, including, without limitation, plans, strategies and goals, and statements about the Company’s expectations regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, loan and deposit growth, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, and shareholder value creation.

Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including recent changes in interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the impact of competition and the acceptance of the Company’s products and services by new and existing customers; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations; technological changes; any oversupply of inventory and deterioration in values of real estate in the markets in which the Company operates, both residential and commercial; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters; possible other-than-temporary impairment of securities held by us; the effects of the Company’s lack of a widely-diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; and the Company’s ability to manage the risk involved in the foregoing. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be fully reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we are subject to any of the following risks, any of which could continue to have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to continue to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may continue to decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; our allowance for loan losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0 percent, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our NIM and spread and reducing net income; our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, unless required by law.
