PAOLI, Pa., Feb. 08, 2022 (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, 2021. Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $2.0 million, or $0.27 per fully diluted common share, compared with $2.3 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Annualized return on average assets ("ROAA") was 0.69 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to 0.74 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and annualized return on average equity ("ROAE") was 5.61 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared with 6.38 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

"I am pleased to report improved business results for the first fiscal quarter versus last quarter, including increases in net income and net interest margin and improvements to other key metrics. We believe the actions taken in the fourth fiscal quarter to improve asset quality were important to managing future risk, protecting capital, and positioning Malvern Bank for future earnings. With continued momentum, we anticipate an upswing in business opportunities and an environment in which businesses can rebound further. We believe we are well positioned for steady and measured growth throughout fiscal year 2022," commented Anthony C. Weagley, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Statement of Income Highlights at December 31, 2021

Net interest margin ("NIM") increased 16 basis points to 2.78 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to 2.62 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase was driven by a reduction in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest-earning assets.
Total interest expense decreased $1.6 million, or 49.4 percent, to $1.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $3.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, which resulted primarily from the reduction of costs on interest-bearing deposits.
The Company did not record a provision for loan losses during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to a $550,000 provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $7.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $146,000, or 2.0 percent, from $7.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The decrease reflected a decrease in interest income of $1.8 million, primarily related to loans, partially offset by $1.7 million decrease in interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined 33 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, to 3.48 percent when compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to the decrease in average loan balances and average yield on loans. The average rate on interest-bearing liabilities fell 61 basis points to 0.69 percent compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020 due to decreases in market rates of interest. The net interest margin increased to 2.78 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 from 2.62 percent for the comparable period in 2020. The margin improvement experienced in the current period in large part reflected the decline in interest-bearing liabilities partially offset by the decline in yield earned on interest-earning assets.

Other Income

Other income decreased $497,000, or 40.6 percent, during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in other income was primarily due to a decrease in net gains on sale of investments and loans of $707,000 to $52,000 for quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to $759,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in loan fees of $207,000 to $454,000 during quarter ended December 31, 2021, from $247,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Other Expense

Other expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, increased $256,000 or 5.1 percent, to $5.2 million when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases of $392,000 in professional fees associated with additional work related to fiscal year-end September 30, 2021 and the preparation and filing of the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $640,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $733,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The effective tax rate for the Company for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were 24.1 percent and 24.4 percent, respectively.

Statement of Condition Highlights at December 31, 2021

Completion of previously announced sale of three problem loans totaling $18.9 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The Company had previously classified these loans as held-for-sale and marked them to fair value at the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021.

Non-performing loans or NPLs were 0.20 percent and 0.40 percent of total loans at December 31, 2021, and September 30, 2021, respectively.
Total assets were $1.2 billion at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $55.9 million, or 4.6 percent, compared to September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $44.8 million decline in loans receivable driven by payoffs, paydowns during the quarter and a $19.6 million decrease in loans held-for-sale that were sold during the quarter.
Total liabilities were $1.0 billion at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $58.3 million, or 5.5 percent, compared to September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the repayment of a $30.0 million FHLB advance and a decrease of $25.5 million in total deposits.
Book value per common share amounted to $18.97 at December 31, 2021, compared to $18.65 at September 30, 2021.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased $25.5 million, or 2.7 percent, from $938.2 million at September 30, 2021 to $912.7 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease was in the money market and interest-bearing demand categories declining $40.7 million and was driven by the Company's efforts to reduce higher costing money market funds.

Loans

Total net loans amounted to $858.2 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $903.0 million at September 30, 2021, resulting in a net decrease of $44.8 million, or 5.0 percent, for the period driven by higher loan payoffs and paydowns during the period primarily in the commercial loan category. Loans held-for-sale amounted to $13.6 million at December 31, 2021, compared to $33.2 million at September 30, 2021. The decline was primarily related to the sale of three commercial loans totaling $18.9 million with no gains or losses recognized on the sale. Average loan balances for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 totaled $913.6 million as compared to $945.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, representing a decrease of $31.9 million or 3.4 percent.

At December 31, 2021, gross loans, which excludes loans held-for-sale, remained weighted toward two primary components: the commercial and residential mortgage portfolios, with commercial loans accounting for 69.2 percent and single-family residential real estate loans accounting for 21.6 percent of the gross loan portfolio at such date. Construction and development loans amounted to 6.8 percent and consumer loans represented 2.4 percent of the gross loan portfolio at such date. The decrease in the gross loan portfolio at December 31, 2021, compared to September 30, 2021, primarily reflected decreases of $29.5 million in commercial loans, $11.2 million in residential mortgage loans, and $4.7 million in construction and development loans.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had $133.6 million in overall undisbursed loan commitments, which consisted primarily of available usage from active construction facilities, unused commercial lines of credit, and home equity lines of credit.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans totaled $1.8 million at December 31, 2021, and $3.7 million at September 30, 2021. The decrease in non-accrual loans was primarily due a partial charge down of $1.4 million related to one non-accrual commercial and industrial loan. This loan had a specific allocation of $1.5 million previously reported at September 30, 2021. The partial charge-off was the result of the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of classified loan values and is reflective of the change in current market and economic conditions of the borrower. Performing troubled debt restructured ("TDR") loans were $6.2 million at December 31, 2021, and $17.6 million at September 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily related to two TDR commercial real estate loans totaling $11.4 million that were sold during the period, with no gains or losses recognized on the sale, as part of the note sale previously announced and mentioned above.

At December 31, 2021, NPAs totaled $6.8 million, or 0.59 percent of total assets, as compared with $8.7 million, or 0.72 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2021. The decrease in NPAs is due to the decrease in non-accrual loans as described above. Other real estate owned or OREO, which is comprised of one commercial real estate property, totaled $5.0 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

⁽¹⁾Annualized.

⁽²⁾ Non-accrual loans do not include any loans classified as held-for-sale.

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2021 amounted to approximately $10.0 million, or 1.16 percent of total gross loans, compared to $11.5 million, or 1.26 percent of total gross loans, at September 30, 2021. The Company did not record a provision for loan losses for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to $10.6 million provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses of $1.4 million or 12.5 percent reflects the Company's improved asset quality and, more specifically, improvement in non-performing loans which declined $1.9 million, or 22.0 percent compared to September 30, 2021.

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 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 the company; 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 Annual Report Filed on Form 10-K 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 pandemic, including the outbreak of its variants on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus and its variants can be controlled, the effects on general economic conditions, and when and how the economy may be fully reopened, and when and how it will remain as such. 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; the economy, and particularly commercial real estate markets may be affected; there may be high levels of unemployment, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; if the economy is unable to continue to substantially reopen, and there are high levels of unemployment for extended periods of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially commercial 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; due to fluctuation in interest rates, 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.
