Bedminster, N.J., Oct. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: PGC) (the “Company”) announces its third quarter 2020 results.

This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Q3 2020 Investor Update (and Supplemental Financial Information), a copy of which is available on our website at www.pgbank.com and via a current report on Form 8-K on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

The Company recorded total revenue of $143.22 million, net income of $23.16 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.22 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $128.53 million, $35.20 million and $1.81, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The 2020 nine-month period included increased net interest income and increased non-interest income due principally to earnings from the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and increased wealth management income (primarily due to the acquisition of Point View Wealth Management acquired in September 2019) , which was partially offset by increased operating expenses (due in part to the previous mentioned firm acquired in September 2019).

The 2020 nine-month period also included a tax benefit of $3.2 million recorded in the first quarter of 2020 caused by the changes in the treatment of tax net operating losses (“NOL”) under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The decrease in net income and EPS for the 2020 nine-month period was the result of a $30.05 million provision for loan losses due to the current environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to increased qualitative loss factors when calculating the allowance for loan losses. This compared to a $2.05 million provision for the 2019 nine-month period.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded revenue of $52.36 million, net income of $13.55 million and EPS of $0.71, compared to $44.51 million, $12.23 million and $0.63, respectively, for the same three-month period last year.

The 2020 quarter included increased net interest income and increased non-interest income due principally to earnings from the PPP and increased wealth management income (primarily due to the acquisition of Point View in September 2019) , which was partially offset by increased operating expenses (due in part to the previous mentioned firm acquired in September 2019), and an increase in the provision for loan and lease losses to $5.15 million due to the current environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to an $800,000 provision for loan and lease losses for the 2019 quarter.

Douglas L. Kennedy, President and CEO, said, “As I mentioned last quarter, our employees worked tirelessly to process approximately 2,500 PPP applications resulting in approximately $600 million in fundings. The Bank made a decision to sell a significant portion ($355 million) of its PPP loans in the third quarter, which generated a $7.4 million gain. The sale was to a well-respected firm that focuses on the forgiveness and ongoing servicing process associated with PPP loans, who will serve our clients well. Our client relationship is still maintained as we maintained all depository relationships (including those from the PPP loan fundings) and all loan relationships outside of PPP loans. Further the sale has given us the ability to free up internal resources to focus on generating new business and continuing to provide excellent service to our clients.”

As of September 30, 2020, the Bank still holds $202 million of PPP loans (almost all of which exceed $2.0 million in original principal amount) with approximately $1.5 million of net deferred fees which will be recognized into income over the two-year maturity of the loan or as forgiven or repaid.

Mr. Kennedy also said, “The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a devastating effect on businesses both locally and nationally. We have allowed our commercial and business clients to have their loan deferred for a six-month period. As of June 30, 2020, our deferrals stood at $914 million. As of September 30, 2020, deferrals were $828 million. An additional $247 million came off deferral status in October bringing deferrals down to $581 million. An additional $449 million is scheduled to come off in November. Further, as of this writing, our deferrals in sectors with COVID elevated residual risk (Hospitality and Food Services and Retail - Non-Grocery Anchored) totaled $95 million or 2% of total loans.”

For more information about the Company’s loan deferrals, including a breakdown by loan type and industry, as well as detail concerning our loan exposure to industries, please see the Q3 2020 Investor Update (and Supplemental financial Information).

• Actively manage credit risk associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Grow and expand our core wealth management and commercial banking businesses.

• Evaluate office space and branch requirements.

• Accelerate digital enhancement initiatives to improve the client experience.

• Grow fee income to 35% to 45% of total bank revenue.

Other select highlights for the quarter included:

• Wealth management fee income, which comprised approximately 21% of the Company’s total revenue for the nine-months ended September 30, 2020, continues to contribute significantly to the Company’s diversified revenue sources.

• As of September 30, 2020, total C&I loans (including PPP loans) comprised 43% of the total loan portfolio.

• Deposits totaled $4.86 billion at September 30, 2020. This reflected net growth of $616 million or 15% (19% annualized) when compared to $4.24 billion at December 31, 2019.

• The Company’s core net interest margin stabilized in the quarter when compared to the June 2020 quarter. (See subsequent discussion of Net Interest Income / Net Interest Margin)

• In addition to $1.3 billion (22% of total assets) of balance sheet liquidity (investments, interest-earning deposits and cash) as of September 30, 2020, the Company also has access to approximately $2.7 billion of available secured funding at the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve.

• The Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios at September 30, 2020 remain strong and the Company’s tangible book value per share at September 30, 2020 was $25.53 reflecting an increase of 7% from $23.91 at September 30, 2019, despite a higher than normal provision for loan and lease losses during 2020.

• Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2020 declined $18.1 million to $8.7 million, or 0.15% of total assets at September 30, 2020, from $26.8 million or 0.43% at June 30, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTAL QUARTERLY DETAILS:

Wealth Management Business

In the September 2020 quarter, the Bank’s wealth management business generated $10.12 million in fee income, compared to $9.50 million for the September 2019 quarter, and $10.00 million for the June 2020 quarter. The September 2020 and June 2020 quarters included three months of fee income related to Point View, which was acquired effective September 1, 2019, while the September 2019 quarter included one month of fee income.

The market value of the Company’s assets under management and/or administration (“AUM/AUA”) increased from $7.2 billion at June 30, 2020 to a record $7.6 billion at September 30, 2020, reflecting a 6% (22% annualized) increase.

John P. Babcock, President of the “Peapack Private Wealth Management” division, said, “Client retention during the COVID-19 crisis continues to be excellent with negligible account closings and no atypical withdrawal activity. Proactive client outreach continues at full strength.” Babcock went on to note, “Year-to-date gross client inflows totaled $528 million. We continue to look to grow our wealth business organically and through acquisition, and our pipeline for both is strong. At year-end 2020, we will combine two more of our acquired RIAs with Peapack Private to further integrate our wealth acquisitions.”

Loans / Commercial Banking

Total loans of $4.46 billion at September 30, 2020 increased $47 million when compared to the December 31, 2019 balance, and declined $441 million from $4.90 billion at June 30, 2020. Growth as compared to December 31, 2019 was driven by robust PPP loan originations of $596 million during the second quarter of 2020, which was partially offset by the sale of $355 million of PPP loans during the third quarter of 2020. Excluding PPP loan originations, 2020 origination levels were less than 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Total C&I loans (including equipment finance leases and loans of $686 million and $202 million of PPP loans) at September 30, 2020 were $1.93 billion. This reflected net growth of $155 million when compared to $1.78 billion at December 31, 2019. Excluding the $202 million of PPP loans at September 30, 2020, total C&I loans declined $47 million in 2020 due to the paydown of several large lines of credit, as well the Company’s workout and asset recovery efforts, including several nonaccrual and/or classified credits during Q3 2020.

The Company maintains a well-diversified loan portfolio, by loan type and by industry concentration, as detailed in the Q3 2020 Investor Update (and Supplemental Financial Information).

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Our commercial pipelines going into the fourth quarter are strong. Further, and as I noted in prior periods, our Corporate Advisory business complements our commercial banking and wealth management businesses by giving us the capability to engage in high level strategic debt, capital and valuation analysis coupled with succession, estate and wealth planning strategies, enabling us to provide a unique boutique level of service, giving us a competitive advantage over much of our peers. Our Corporate Advisory pipelines are also strong.”

Funding / Liquidity / Interest Rate Risk Management

The Company actively manages its deposit base to reduce reliance on wholesale sourced deposits, volatility, and/or operational risk. Total deposits at September 30, 2020 were $4.86 billion reflecting an increase of $616 million when compared to $4.24 billion at December 31, 2019. Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $309 million, interest bearing demand increased $348 million, brokered deposits declined $50 million, and higher costing CDs declined $62 million. Mr. Kennedy noted, “Of our total deposits, only 17 percent are above the FDIC insurance limit, reinforcing the “core” nature of our deposit base.”

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s balance sheet liquidity (investments, interest-earning deposits and cash) totaled $1.3 billion (or 22% of assets). In addition to the $1.3 billion of balance sheet liquidity, the Company also had approximately $1.7 billion of secured funding available from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Additionally, the Company also had $1.0 billion of secured funding available from the Federal Reserve Discount Window.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “As a commercial bank, a large portion of our loans reprice when the Fed changes rates. The 150-basis point reduction in target Fed Funds near the end of Q1 2020 reduced the Company’s interest income earned on assets. However, we were able to strategically reprice our deposits over time to offset much of that decline by the end of 2020.”

Net Interest Income (NII)/Net Interest Margin (NIM)

As shown above, the Company’s reported NIM declined 7 basis points compared to the linked quarter, while core NIM remained flat compared to the linked quarter.

Future net interest income will be benefitted by the repricing of the Company’s time certificates of deposit (“CDs”). Over the next 12-months, approximately $510 million of CDs with an average rate of approximately 1.35% will mature.

Other Noninterest Income (other than Wealth Management fee income)

Noninterest income from Capital Markets activities (loan level back-to-back swap activities, the SBA lending and sale program, and mortgage banking income) totaled $1.03 million for the September 2020 quarter compared to $1.01 million for the June 2020 quarter and $2.77 million for the September 2019 quarter. The September 2020 quarter reflected increased mortgage banking activity due to greater refinance activity in the current low rate environment. The higher mortgage banking activity was offset by a significant decrease in loan level back-to-back swap activities and SBA lending and sale program, as there is, and will continue to be, minimal activity for such in the current environment.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s total operating expenses were $28.46 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, compared to $29.01 million for the June 2020 quarter and $26.26 million for the September 2019 quarter. The September 2020 and June 2020 quarters included three months of expenses (approximately $500,000 per quarter) related to Point View’s operations while the September 2019 quarter included one month. The June 2020 quarter also included a one-time expense of $278,000 related to the consolidation of the Whitehouse branch into the Oldwick branch. Thus far, the Bank has retained the majority of the deposits that were associated with that branch. The Company also spent $225,000 on marketing and advertising related to the PPP program during the June 2020 quarter. FDIC insurance expense increased to $605,000 in the September 2020 quarter from $455,000 in the June 2020 quarter and a credit of $277,000 in the September 2019 quarter. The increase in FDIC expense in the September 2020 quarter was due to average asset growth, which negatively impacted some of the ratios used in calculating the quarterly assessment.

Mr. Kennedy noted, “During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company will consolidate two of its private banking locations into existing offices which will result in future expense savings of approximately $200,000 on an annual basis. We continue to further evaluate office space and branch requirements.”

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was 27.75%, as compared to 29.90% for the September 2019 quarter. The slightly higher rate in the September 2019 quarter included higher NJ State Income Tax due to the change in NJ tax law.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $3.34 million tax benefit, principally due to a $3.2 million Federal income tax benefit that resulted from a tax NOL carryback. The Company had a $23 million operating loss for tax purposes in 2018 (when the Federal tax rate was 21%) resulting from accelerated tax depreciation. Under the CARES Act, the Company was allowed to carry this NOL back to a period when the Federal tax rate was 35%, generating a permanent tax benefit.

Asset Quality / Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

For further details, see the Q3 2020 Investor Update (and Supplemental Financial Information).

Nonperforming assets at September 30, 2020 (which does not include troubled debt restructured loans that are performing in accordance with their terms) were $8.7 million, or 0.15% of total assets, down from $26.7 million, or 0.43% of total assets, at June 30, 2020 and $28.9 million, or 0.56% of total assets, at December 31, 2019. The September 30, 2020 balance excludes one $10.0 million commercial loan classified as held for sale. Total loans past due 30 through 89 days and still accruing were $6.6 million at September 30, 2020 (of which $4.1 million made their past due payments in October), compared to $3.8 million at June 30, 2020 and $1.9 million at December 31, 2019. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s asset recovery and workout efforts reduced nonperforming and classified assets.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s provision for loan and lease losses was $5.15 million compared to $4.90 million for the June 2020 quarter and $800,000 for the September 2019 quarter. The increased provision for loan and lease losses in the September and June 2020 quarters reflect the current environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to increased qualitative loss factors when calculating the allowance for loan losses. The Company’s provision for loan and lease losses (and its allowance for loan and lease losses) also reflect, among other things, the Company’s assessment of asset quality metrics, net loan growth, net charge-offs/recoveries, and the composition of the loan portfolio.

At September 30, 2020, the allowance for loan and lease losses was $66.15 million (1.56% of total loans, excluding PPP loans), compared to $66.07 million at June 30, 2020 (1.52% of total loans), and $43.68 million at December 31, 2019 (0.99% of total loans).

Capital

The Company’s capital position during the September 2020 quarter was benefitted by net income of $13.55 million.

The Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios at September 30, 2020 all remain strong. Such ratios remain well above regulatory well capitalized standards.

The Company employs quarterly capital stress testing run under multiple scenarios, including a no growth, severely adverse case. In such case as of June 30, 2020, the Bank remains well capitalized over a two-year stress period. With a Pandemic stress overlay on this case, the Bank still remains well capitalized over the two-year stress period. For further details, see the Q3 2020 Investor Update (and Supplemental Financial Information).

On October 27, 2020, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on November 25, 2020 to shareholders of record on November 10, 2020.

The foregoing may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are not historical facts and include expressions about management’s confidence and strategies and management’s expectations about new and existing programs and products, investments, relationships, opportunities and market conditions. These statements may be identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “may” or similar statements or variations of such terms. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

• our inability to successfully grow our business and implement our strategic plan, including an inability to generate revenues to offset the increased personnel and other costs related to the strategic plan;

• the impact of anticipated higher operating expenses in 2020 and beyond;

• our inability to successfully integrate wealth management firm acquisitions;

• our inability to manage our growth;

• our inability to successfully integrate our expanded employee base;

• an unexpected decline in the economy, in particular in our New Jersey and New York market areas;

• declines in our net interest margin caused by the interest rate environment and/or our highly competitive market;

• declines in value in our investment portfolio;

• impact on our business from a pandemic event on our business, operations, customers, allowance for loan losses and capital levels;

• higher than expected increases in our allowance for loan and lease losses;

• higher than expected increases in loan and lease losses or in the level of nonperforming loans;

• changes in interest rates;

• decline in real estate values within our market areas;

• legislative and regulatory actions (including the impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Basel III and related regulations) that may result in increased compliance costs;

• successful cyberattacks against our IT infrastructure and that of our IT and third party providers;

• higher than expected FDIC insurance premiums;

• adverse weather conditions;

• our inability to successfully generate new business in new geographic markets;

• our inability to execute upon new business initiatives;

• our lack of liquidity to fund our various cash obligations;

• reduction in our lower-cost funding sources;

• our inability to adapt to technological changes;

• claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility, environmental laws and other matters;

• our inability to retain key employees;

• demands for loans and deposits in our market areas;

• adverse changes in securities markets;

• changes in accounting policies and practices; and

• other unexpected material adverse changes in our operations or earnings.

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 whether the gradual reopening of businesses will result in a meaningful increase in economic activity. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

• demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;

• if the economy is unable 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 decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;

• our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased 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%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;

• a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend;

• our wealth management revenues may decline with continuing market turmoil;

• a worsening of business and economic conditions or in the financial markets could result in an impairment of certain intangible assets, such as goodwill;

• the unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak, which could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy, especially as we may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors;

• we may face litigation, regulatory enforcement and reputation risk as a result of our participation in the PPP and the risk that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guaranties;

• 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 experience additional resolution costs.

A discussion of these and other factors that could affect our results is included in our SEC filings, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company’s expectations.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
