AMESBURY, Mass., April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Provident Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (NasdaqCM: PVBC), the holding company for The Provident Bank (the "Bank"), reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $5.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $3.6 million, or $0.21 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $4.3 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

The Company also announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share, which will be paid on May 27, 2022 to stockholders of record as of May 13, 2022.

In reporting these results, Dave Mansfield, Chief Executive Officer said, "We entered 2022 eager to see the financial impact of our digital asset and banking as a service strategic initiatives. With our partnerships in these spaces gaining momentum, I am happy to report that we ended the quarter as enthusiastically as we entered it. We met or exceeded our digital asset and banking as a service deposit goals. Because of the successful growth in these non-interest bearing deposits we were able to keep interest rates low and allow for runoff of interest-bearing deposit balances. We are excited by the success we have had and are eager to continue with our pursuit of new and creative digital banking solutions."

Income Statement Results

Quarter Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Quarter Ended December 31, 2021

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net interest and dividend income was $17.9 million, which represents an increase of $1.5 million, or 9.2% when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average interest earning assets of $21.6 million, or 1.3% which was primarily due to an increase of $88.9 million, or 6.5%, in the average loan balances, partially offset by a decrease in short-term investments of $68.0 million, or 33.2%. The increase in interest and dividend income was further supported by an increase in the yield on interest earning assets of 28 basis points to 4.55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to 4.27% for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Also contributing to the increase in net interest and dividend income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was a decrease in interest expense of $122,000, or 18.9%, to $525,000 compared to $647,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in average interest-bearing deposits of $40.2 million, or 4.8% coupled with a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits of four basis points to 0.23% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in interest-bearing deposits was the result of strategic initiatives of the Bank. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits was due to the lower interest rate environment which prevailed through most of the first quarter of 2022 and the higher percentage of core deposits in the portfolio.

Provision for loan losses of $83,000 were recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The changes in the provision were based on management's assessment of economic conditions, loan portfolio growth and composition changes, historical charge-off trends, levels of problem loans and other asset quality trends. Commercial loan growth of $27.0 million was primarily driven by a cash-secured loan which is considered to have no credit risk; therefore we have not provided for losses on this loan. This growth was offset by a decrease in our mortgage warehouse portfolio of $30.2 million, or 11.9%. These changes within our loan portfolio were the primary drivers of lower provision quarter over quarter.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.32% as of March 31, 2022 compared to 1.34% as of December 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses provided for 10.26 times coverage of non-performing loans as of March 31, 2022 compared to 6.74times as of December 31, 2021. Non-performing loans were $1.9 million, or 0.10%, of total assets as of March 31, 2022 compared to $2.9 million, or 0.17%, of total assets as of December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the largest non-performing loan relationship totaling $1.3 million was evaluated for impairment and specific reserves of $1.2 million were allocated.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, noninterest income was $1.3 million, which represents an increase of $98,000, or 8.0%, when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The increase is primarily due to an increase in other income of $61,000, or 132.6% which was mostly due to gains on sold loans of $97,000. Noninterest income also increased due to an increase in customer service fees on deposit accounts of $46,000, or 8.6%. The increase in customer service fees on deposit accounts was primarily due to an increase in business account service charges resulting from growth in our business accounts related to our expanded product offerings to digital asset and banking as a service business customers.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, noninterest expense was $11.4 million, which represents a decrease of $399,000, or 3.4%, when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits, partially offset by an increase in insurance expense and a write down of a receivable balance in the first quarter of 2022. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $1.3 million, or 15.1% primarily due to a $984,000 expense in the fourth quarter of 2021 related to the Resignation, Separation Agreement and Full and Final Release of Claims with our President and Chief Lending Officer, as reported on Current Report on Form 8-K on November 1, 2021. Insurance expense increased $405,000, or 964.3%, due to a renewal and reassessment that incorporates consideration of our digital asset product strategies. There was a write down of an SBA receivable in the first quarter of 2022 after the Company evaluated the collectability and determined that $395,000 was uncollectible.

Quarter Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 2021

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, net interest and dividend income was $17.9 million, which represents an increase of $3.0 million, or 20.2% from the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The primary reason for the increase was an increase in interest and dividend income of $2.6 million, or 16.1%. Interest and dividend income increased due to an increase in average interest earning assets of $158.2 million when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase in average interest earnings assets was primarily due to an increase in the average loan balances of $129.1 million, or 9.8% and an increase in short term investments of $24.8 million, or 22.1%. The increase in interest and dividend income was further supported by an increase in the yield on interest earning assets of 20 basis points to 4.55% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to 4.35% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Also contributing to the increase in net interest and dividend income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was a decrease in interest expense of $456,000, or 46.5%, to $525,000 compared to $981,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in average interest bearing deposits of $46.6 million, or 5.5% coupled with a decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits of 20 basis points to 0.23% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 when compared to the same quarter in 2021. The decrease in interest bearing deposits was the result of strategic initiatives of the Bank. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits was due to the lower interest rate environment which prevailed through most of the first quarter of 2022 and the higher percentage of core deposits in the portfolio.

Provision for loan losses of $83,000 were recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $753,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The changes in the provision were based on management's assessment of economic conditions, loan portfolio growth and composition changes, historical charge-off trends, levels of problem loans and other asset quality trends.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.32% as of March 31, 2022 compared to 1.43% as of March 31, 2021. The allowance for loan losses provided 10.26 times coverage of non-performing loans as of March 31, 2022 compared to 25.53 times as of March 31, 2021. Non-performing loans were $1.9 million, or 0.10%, of total assets as of March 31, 2022 compared to $7.5 million, or 0.48%, of total assets as of March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022, the largest non-performing loan relationship totaling $1.3 million was evaluated for impairment and specific reserves of $1.2 million were allocated.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, noninterest income was $1.3 million, which represents an increase of $302,000, or 29.7% from the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase was primarily due to an increase in customer service fees on deposit accounts of $202,000, or 53.3%, an increase of $37,000, or 52.9% in other income and an increase in bank owned life insurance income of $37,000, or 16.9%. The increase in customer service fees on deposit accounts is attributable to fees generated from cash vault services for our customers who operate Bitcoin ATMs, as well as growth in our business accounts related to our expanded product offerings to digital asset and banking as a service ("BaaS") customers. The increase in other income is primarily attributable to gains on sold loans and the increase in bank owned life insurance income is primarily due to the purchase of additional insurance policies in the fourth quarter of 2021.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, noninterest expense was $11.4 million, which represents an increase of $2.2 million, or 23.9% when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase in noninterest expense is primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits, insurance expense, a write down of a receivable balance in the first quarter of 2022 and an increase in professional fees. The increase of $712,000, or 11.0%, in salary and employee benefits was primarily due to an increase in staff to support the development and implementation of new technologies and specialty lending products. The increase in insurance expense of $413,000, or 1,214.7%, is due to a renewal and reassessment that incorporates consideration of our digital asset product strategies. There was a write down of an SBA receivable in the first quarter of 2022 after the Company evaluated the collectability and determined that $395,000 was uncollectible. Professional fees increased $297,000, or 68.9%, primarily due to increased legal fees and audit and compliance costs.

Balance Sheet Results

March 31, 2022 Compared to December 31, 2021

As of March 31, 2022, total assets have increased $62.7 million, or 3.6%, to $1.79 billion compared to $1.73 billion at December 31, 2021. The primary reasons for the increase are increases in cash and cash equivalents and net loans, partially offset by a decrease in debt securities available-for-sale. The increase in cash and cash equivalents of $63.0 million, or 41.1% is primarily due to an increase in deposits. Net loans increased $3.6 million, or 0.3%, and were $1.44 billion as of March 31, 2022 compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2021. The increase in net loans was due to an increase in commercial loans of $27.0 million, or 3.7% and construction and land development loans of $8.7 million, or 20.3%, partially offset by decreases in mortgage warehouse loans of $30.2 million, or 11.9%, commercial real estate loans of $2.4 million, or 0.6%, consumer loans of $497,000, or 32.7%, and residential real estate loans of $409,000, or 50.4%. Our commercial loan growth was primarily due to a $30.0 million cash-secured loan issued during the first quarter as well as growth in our enterprise value portfolio of $15.5 million, or 4.56% and our renewable energy portfolio of $2.1 million, or 3.4%. These increases in commercial loan growth were offset by a decrease in PPP loans of $10.4 million, or 83.3%, and a decrease in our digital asset loans of $8.6 million, or 7.1%. Digital asset loans decreased primarily due to the pay-down of an existing $35.0 million credit line, which was offset by $29.1 million in new digital asset loans. The decrease in debt securities available-for-sale was primarily due to principal paydowns on government mortgage-backed securities and unrealized losses during the first quarter.

Total liabilities increased $60.0 million, or 4.0%, from December 31, 2021 due to increased deposits. Deposits were $1.52 billion as of March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $62.4 million, or 4.3%, compared to December 31, 2021. The increase in deposits was primarily due to an increase of $115.5 million, or 14.0%, in NOW and demand deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $53.3 million, or 12.7% in money market accounts. NOW and demand deposits increased primarily due to new and expanded relationships with traditional, digital asset, and BaaS customers. Deposit relationships with digital asset customers totaled $179.4 million at March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $79.7 million, or 80.0%. Deposit relationships with BaaS customers totaled $94.3 million at March 31, 2022, representing an increase of $34.4 million, or 57.5% from December 31, 2021. In addition, the Bank has increased its focus on growing noninterest-bearing deposit balances and as of March 31, 2022 noninterest-bearing deposits represented 49.1% of total deposits compared to 42.9% at December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2022, shareholders' equity was $236.5 million compared to $233.8 million at December 31, 2021, representing an increase of $2.8 million, or 1.2%. The increase was primarily due to net income of $5.5 million, stock based compensation expense of $445,000 and employee stock ownership plan shares earned of $383,000, partially offset by the repurchase of 95,229 shares of common stock for $1.5 million, $673,000 from dividends paid, and a decrease in other comprehensive income of $1.3 million.
