Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation Reports Strong Second Quarter Results, Driven By Increased Wealth Management Fee Income, Strong Loan Growth And Margin Expansion

Bedminster, NJ - (NewMediaWire) - July 28, 2021 - Peapack-Gladstone Financial Corporation (NASDAQ Global Select Market: PGC) (the “Company”) announces its second quarter 2021 results.

This earnings release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Q2 2021 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.  

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded total revenue of $101.14 million, net income of $27.60 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.42 compared to $90.87 million, $9.62 million and $0.51, respectively, for the same six-month period ended June 30, 2020. 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded total revenue of $51.52 million, net income of $14.42 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.74, compared to $44.59 million, $8.24 million and $0.43, respectively, for the same three-month period ended June 30, 2020. 

The quarter ended June 30, 2021 included increased noninterest income, principally wealth management income and income from capital markets activities (which includes mortgage banking income, loan level back-to-back swap income, SBA loan income, and corporate advisory fee income) when compared to the same quarter in 2020. The 2021 quarter also included a significantly reduced provision for loan losses when compared to the same quarter last year. The decreased provision in the June 2021 quarter was due to the environment in 2020 created by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to increased qualitative loss factors when calculating the allowance for loan losses. 

The June 2021 quarter included a $1.13 million gain on the sale of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans; fee income of $722,000 relating to PPP loan referrals to a third party; and $153,000 of additional BOLI income related to receipt of life insurance proceeds. These positives were substantially offset by a $842,000 cost (included as a negative to noninterest income) related to the termination of two interest rate swaps, and $648,000 of accelerated expense related to the prepayment of $50.0 million of subordinated notes.  Both actions will have a positive impact on earnings going forward.

As previously disclosed, on January 28, 2021, the Company authorized the repurchase of up to 948,735 shares, or approximately 5% of its outstanding shares. During the second quarter of 2021 the Company purchased 234,722 shares at an average price of $32.40 for a total cost of $7.60 million under this program.  Since announced, the Company has purchased 392,755 shares at an average price of $30.51 for a total cost of $11.98 million under this program.

Douglas L. Kennedy, President and CEO, said, “Our capital is strong and we believe that purchasing the Company’s stock is an opportunity for us to effectively manage our excess capital, while taking advantage of the Company’s valuation relative to peers.”

Mr. Kennedy also said, “During 2021 the Company participated in the 2021 round of the PPP, which provided much needed funding to qualifying small businesses and organizations.  During the six months of 2021 we assisted with over $181 million of PPP loans - $57 million processed and funded by the Bank, and another $124 million referred directly to a third party for processing and funding.  During the second quarter, the Company sold the $57 million of loans to the same third party to create additional capacity to process our strong loan pipeline.”

The Company’s near-term priorities include:

  • Grow and expand our three primary drivers of profitability: Wealth Management, Commercial Banking and Capital Markets businesses.
  • Maintain loan and deposit pricing discipline to protect and grow our Net Interest Margin. 
  • Continue to execute on our stock repurchase program.
  • Generate fee income at 35% - 45% of total bank revenue.
  • Drive ROA to greater than 1% and return on average tangible common equity to greater than 14%.

Highlights of the Company’s quarterly accomplishments follow:

Peapack Private Wealth Management:

  • AUM/AUA in our Peapack Private Wealth Management Division grew to $9.8 billion at June 30, 2021 (from $8.8 billion at December 31, 2020 and $7.5 billion at December 31, 2019).
  • Wealth Management Fee Income increased to $13 million for Q2 2021 (compared to $10 million for Q2 2020).
  • On July 1, 2021, closed on the acquisition of Princeton Portfolio Strategies Group (“PPSG”), a registered investment advisor headquartered in Princeton NJ with approximately $520 million of AUM/AUA. 

Commercial Banking and Balance Sheet Management: 

  • During Q2 2021, loans, excluding PPP loans, grew by $293 million (7% growth linked quarter: 28% annualized).  
  • Core deposits (which includes demand, savings and money market) totaled 88% of total deposits at June 30, 2021. The total cost of interest-bearing deposits improved to 0.34% for Q2 2021 compared to 0.40% for Q1 2021. Noninterest bearing DDA (included in core deposits) totaled 20% of total deposits. 
  • Net interest margin improved by 10 basis points in Q2 2021 from Q1 2021.  
  • $50 million of 6% subordinated debt (set to reprice to 5% on July 1, 2021) was fully redeemed on June 30, 2021.   
  • $40 million of interest rate swaps with an all-in cost of approximately 1.50% were terminated.  
  • Sold $57 million of PPP loans recognizing a gain of $1.1 million.  
  • Received $722,000 of fee income in Q2 2021 for the referral of PPP loans to a third party for origination. (The sale and referral of PPP loans created additional capacity for the Company to process its strong loan pipeline).

Credit and Capital Management:

  • During Q2, non-performing assets declined $6 million; classified loans declined $15 million; and loans subject to special mention declined $17 million. NPAs stood at just 0.10% of assets at June 30, 2021.

  • Tangible book value per share increased to $26.30 at June 30, 2021, despite the stock repurchase activity at prices above tangible book value. 

   

SUPPLEMENTAL QUARTERLY DETAILS:

Wealth Management Business

In the June 2021 quarter, the Bank’s wealth management business generated $13.03 million in fee income, compared to $10.00 million for the June 2020 quarter, and $12.13 million for the March 2021 quarter. 

The market value of the Company’s AUM/AUA increased to $9.8 billion at June 30, 2021 from $8.8 billion at December 31, 2020, and $7.2 billion at June 30, 2020 due to new business as well as positive market action. 

In the quarter ended June 30, 2021 the Company announced the acquisition of PPSG, a registered investment advisor headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.  Upon joining the Company on July 1, 2021, PPSG had approximately $520 million of AUM/AUA.

John P. Babcock, President of the Peapack Private Wealth Management division, said, “2021 showed continued strong new business, new client acquisition and client retention. We ended 2020 with a very strong Q4 and this continued into 2021 with gross inflows of over $240 million for Q2 2021.” Babcock went on to note, “We continue to look to grow our wealth business organically and through selective acquisitions. And, we continue to make significant progress on our infrastructure consolidation including launching our new trading platform and a new CRM system, as well as adding more resources to our financial planning team.”

Loans / Commercial Banking 

Total loans of $4.58 billion at June 30, 2021 (including PPP loans of $84 million) increased $144 million from $4.44 billion (including PPP loans of $233 million) at March 31, 2021. Excluding the decline in PPP loans during the June quarter, loans grew $293 million, or 7% on a linked quarter basis (28% annualized). During the quarter, multifamily loans grew $241 million and C&I loans grew $47 million. 

Total C&I loans (including the PPP loans) at June 30, 2021 were $1.88 billion or 41% of the total loan portfolio. While C&I origination levels have been strong throughout 2021, paydown and payoff activity has also been robust, including paydowns of several large lines of credit, as well as the Company’s workout and asset recovery efforts, including the workout and recovery of several nonaccrual and/or classified credits in 2021. 

Mr. Kennedy noted, “Our commercial loan pipelines are strong going into the third quarter, standing at approximately $250 million with likelihood of closing during the third quarter of 2021.”

Mr. Kennedy also noted, “As I have mentioned in the past, our Corporate Advisory business, which gives us the capability to engage in high level strategic debt, capital and valuation analysis, enables us to provide a unique boutique level of service, giving us a competitive advantage over many of our peers. Our Corporate Advisory pipelines are also strong.  Notwithstanding the sale and forgiveness of PPP loans and significant payoff activity, we believe that we will achieve high single digit loan growth, which was the upper end of our guidance provided in the beginning of 2021.”

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 June 30, 2021 were $4.90 billion. While total deposits did not increase significantly over the last year, the mix changed favorably, as noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $48 million and interest-bearing demand increased $174 million, while brokered deposits declined $45 million, and higher costing CDs declined $187 million, when comparing June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2020.  

Mr. Kennedy noted, “88% of our deposits are demand, savings, or money market, and, our noninterest bearing deposits comprise 20% of our total deposits; both metrics reinforce the ‘core’ nature of our deposit base.”

At June 30, 2021, the Company’s balance sheet liquidity (investments, interest-earning deposits and cash) totaled $1.1 billion (or 18% of assets).  The Company has approximately $1.7 billion of secured funding available from the Federal Home Loan Bank and $1.0 billion of secured funding available from the Federal Reserve Discount Window.  The available funding from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve is secured by the Company’s loan and investment portfolios.

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 the first quarter of 2020 reduced the Company’s yield earned on assets. However, we were able to strategically reprice our deposits over time to offset much of that decline. Further, when interest rates rise, we expect that our net interest income will improve. Our current modeling indicates that 68% of our loan portfolio reprices within 2 years - 44% would reprice within 90 days, another 12% within 3 to 12 months and another 12% repricing within year two.” 

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

As shown above, the Company’s reported NIM increased 10 basis points compared to the linked quarter. The Bank strategically lowered its cost of deposits and used much of its excess liquidity to grow loans, both of which benefitted NIM. 

Future net interest income and net interest margin should benefit from the following:

  • Full realization of the second quarter loan growth, as well as robust loan pipelines.
  • Continued downward repricing of maturing CDs. 
  • Redemption of $50 million of subordinated debt during the June quarter. 
  • Termination of $40 million notional interest rate swaps during the June quarter. 

Income from Capital Markets Activities

Noninterest income from Capital Markets activities (SBA lending and sale program, mortgage banking activity, corporate advisory activity and loan level back-to-back swap activities) totaled $1.46 million for the June 2021 quarter compared to $3.57 million for the March 2021 quarter and $1.08 million for the June 2020 quarter.  The June 2021 and March 2021 quarter results were driven by $932,000 and $1.45 million gain on sale of SBA loans, respectively. The March 2021 quarter reflected increased mortgage banking activity due to greater refinance activity in the low rate environment. During the March 2021 quarter, the Company recorded $1.1 million of corporate advisory fee income related to a large investment banking advisory event which closed in that quarter.  These transactions tend to be larger and take longer to complete. As noted previously, the pipeline of such business is fairly robust. The June 2021 and March 2021 quarters included no income from loan level, back-to-back swap activities, as there has been, and will continue to be, minimal activity for such in the current environment. The June 2020 quarter included $202,000 of such income. 

Other Noninterest Income (other than Wealth Management fee income and Income from Capital Markets Activities)

The June 2021 quarter included approximately $153,000 and the March 2021 quarter included approximately $302,000 of Bank Owned Life Insurance income due to receipt of life insurance proceeds. Such proceeds were nontaxable. The June 2021 quarter included $1.13 million gain on the sale of PPP loans, while the March 2021 quarter included a $282,000 gain on sale of $8 million of loans that had payment issues and were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020. The Company also received $722,000 of fee income related to referral of PPP loans to a third party.  Partially offsetting the above items in the June 2021 quarter, the Company recorded a one-time $842,000 cost on the termination of $40 million notional interest rate swaps with an all-in cost of 1.50%. 

Operating Expenses

The Company’s total operating expenses were $30.68 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, compared to $31.59 million for the March 2021 quarter and $29.01 million for the June 2020 quarter. The June 2021 quarter included $648,000 of expense related to the redemption of subordinated debt. The March 2021 quarter included $1.5 million of severance expense related to certain corporate restructuring within several areas of the Bank. The June and March 2021 quarter included a full quarter’s worth of expense related to Lucas and Noyes (approximately $350,000 in each quarter). 

Mr. Kennedy noted, “While we continue to manage expenses closely and prudently, we will invest in digital enhancements to improve the client experience and grow and expand our core wealth management and commercial banking businesses, including lift-outs, strategic hires, and wealth M&A.”

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 27.69%, as compared to 25.94% for the March 2021 quarter and 22.85% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The March 31, 2021 quarter benefitted from life insurance proceeds that were not taxable and from the vesting of restricted stock at prices higher than grant prices. The effective tax rate for the June 2020 quarter was impacted by reduced taxable income due to the environment created by the Pandemic. 

The effective tax rate for the six months of 2021 was 26.87% compared to a net tax benefit recorded for the first six months of 2020. 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 Q2 2021 Investor Update (and Supplemental Financial Information).

Nonperforming assets at June 30, 2021 (which does not include troubled debt restructured loans that are performing in accordance with their terms) were $6.0 million, or 0.10% of total assets, down from $11.8 million, or 0.20% of total assets, at March 31, 2021 and down significantly from $26.7 million, or 0.43% of total assets, at June 30, 2020.  

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s provision for loan and lease losses was $900,000 compared to $225,000 for the March 2021 quarter and $4.90 million for the June 2020 quarter. The decreased provision for loan and lease losses in the 2021 quarters when compared to the 2020 quarters reflects the reduced qualitative loss factors related to the unemployment rate and amount of loan deferrals and other economic qualitative factors due to the COVID-19 pandemic when calculating the allowance for loan losses. Loan deferrals entered into during the COVID-19 pandemic have come down significantly from the prior year (declined from $914 million at June 30, 2020 to $37 million at June 30, 2021). The Company’s provision for loan and lease losses (and its allowance for loan and lease losses) also reflects, among other things, the Company’s assessment of asset quality metrics, net charge-offs/recoveries, and the composition of the loan portfolio. 

At June 30, 2021, the allowance for loan and lease losses was $63.51 million (1.39% of total loans), compared to $67.31 million at December 31, 2020 (1.53% of total loans), and $66.07 million at June 30, 2020 (1.35% of total loans).  The Company has elected to take additional time to adopt CECL and will implement effective January 1, 2022. 

Capital 

The Company’s capital position during the June 2021 quarter was benefitted by net income of $14.42 million which was offset by the purchase of shares through the Company’s stock repurchase program.  During the second quarter of 2021, the Company purchased 234,722 shares at an average price of $32.40 for a total cost of $7.6 million.  GAAP Capital at June 30, 2021 was also benefitted by a decrease in the unrealized loss on securities from March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021, due to market value appreciation of the AFS investment securities portfolio. 

The Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios at June 30, 2021 all remain strong.  Such ratios remain well above regulatory well capitalized standards.

As previously announced, in the fourth quarter of 2020 the Company successfully completed a private placement of $100 million in fixed-to floating rate subordinated notes due 2030 at a rate of 3.5%. Such funds benefitted the Company’s Regulatory Tier 2 Capital. At the time, the Company noted the proceeds raised would be used for general corporate purposes, which could include stock repurchases, the redemption of the Company’s existing 6% subordinated debt and acquisitions of wealth management firms. Throughout the first half of 2021, the Company repurchased $12 million of stock.  On June 30, 2021 the Company redeemed its 6% subordinated debt. On July 1, 2021 the Company closed on the acquisition of Princeton Portfolio Strategies Group. 

The Company employs quarterly capital stress testing run under multiple scenarios, including a no growth, severely adverse case. In such case as of March 31, 2021, 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 Q2 2021 Investor Update (and Supplemental Financial Information)

On July 27, 2021, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable on August 24, 2021 to shareholders of record on August 10, 2021.

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 2021 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;
  • a 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 higher 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 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; 
  • a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in an elimination of 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, 2020.  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.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES RECONCILIATION

Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts.  We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively.  We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by period end common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders’ equity by period end common shares outstanding.  We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end.  We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue.  We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses, excluding other real estate owned provision, as determined under GAAP, by net interest income and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains/(losses) on loans held for sale at lower of cost or fair value and excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue.  We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios.  Our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures.  As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titles measures reported by other companies.  A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
