ISELIN, N.J., Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) (the "Company") reported net income of $83.4 million, or $0.64 per basic and diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $71.7 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and $48.5 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2025, net income totaled $291.2 million, or $2.23 per basic and diluted share, compared to $115.5 million, or $1.05 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Prior year earnings include six and a half months of combined operations with Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. ("Lakeland"), compared to a full year in 2025. Additionally, while there were no transaction costs related to our merger with Lakeland during 2025, for the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, these costs totaled $20.2 million and $117.0 million, respectively. The 2024 full year results included an initial Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") provision for credit losses on loans of $60.1 million recorded as part of the Lakeland merger.

Anthony J. Labozzetta, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Provident Bank finished 2025 with a third consecutive quarter of record revenues, notable momentum across all our business lines and strong profitability. Organic growth remains our top priority, supported by a loan pipeline that has consistently been over $2.5 billion for the past four quarters, and several investments we have made to sustain growth in non-interest income. Our organization continues to focus on several strategic initiatives to help profitably grow our business, including growing our market share in middle market banking, insurance and wealth management. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect continued earnings per share growth and to compound tangible book value, while also making the necessary investments to sustain our momentum over the long-term."

  • Net interest margin increased one basis point to 3.44% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, primarily attributable to the favorable repricing of deposits, partially offset by a reduction in net accretion of purchase accounting adjustments related to the Lakeland merger, combined with the repricing of adjustable rate loans. The core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of purchase accounting accretion and amortization, increased seven basis points from the trailing quarter to 3.01%. The average yield on total loans decreased 11 basis points to 5.98% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, while the average cost of deposits, including non-interest-bearing deposits, decreased four basis points to 2.10% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.

Total net charge-offs of $4.2 million for the quarter represented an annualized 9 basis points of average loans.
  • In the fourth quarter of 2025, Provident Bank entered into an agreement to purchase energy production tax credits of approximately $52.0 million, which resulted in an annual tax benefit of $3.4 million for 2025 that was recognized as a reduction in income tax expense.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2025

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net income was $83.4 million, or $0.64 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $71.7 million, or $0.55 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income increased $3.1 million to $197.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, from $194.3 million for the trailing quarter. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to the favorable repricing of deposits and growth in average earning assets, partially offset by the repricing of adjustable rate loans.

The Company's net interest margin increased one basis point to 3.44% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, from 3.43% for the trailing quarter. The average yield on interest-earning assets for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 decreased 10 basis points to 5.66%, compared to the trailing quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 decreased 13 basis points to 2.83%, compared to the trailing quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 decreased seven basis points to 2.60%, compared to 2.67% for the trailing quarter.

The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was 3.94%, compared to 3.96% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The net accretion of purchase accounting adjustments contributed 43 basis points to the net interest margin for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared with 49 basis points in the trailing quarter. The reduction in purchase accounting accretion was largely due to the prepayment of certain loans that resulted in accelerated amortization of acquisition premiums and a decrease in accelerated accretion related to prepayments of loans with acquisition discounts. The core net interest margin, which excludes the impact of purchase accounting accretion and amortization, increased seven basis points from the trailing quarter to 3.01%.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a $1.2 million provision benefit for credit losses compared to a $7.0 million provision charge for the trailing quarter. The provision benefit consisted of a $2.0 million provision charge for credit losses related to loans and a $3.2 million provision benefit for credit losses related to off-balance sheet credit exposures, compared with provision charges for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet credit exposures of $4.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The provision for credit losses on loans in the quarter was primarily attributable to overall growth in the loan portfolio. For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net charge-offs totaled $4.2 million, or an annualized 9 basis points of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of $5.4 million, or an annualized 11 basis points of average loans for the trailing quarter.

Net gains on securities transactions increased $623,000 compared to the trailing quarter, to $690,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to profits on calls of corporate securities. Wealth management income increased $278,000 compared to the trailing quarter, to $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, mainly due to an increase in the average market value of assets under management during the period. Additionally, bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") income increased $128,000 compared to the trailing quarter, to $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase in benefit claims. Fees and commissions decreased $236,000 to $11.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter primarily due to a decrease in loan prepayment fee income.

Non-interest expense totaled $114.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $1.6 million, compared to $113.1 million for the trailing quarter. Other operating expenses increased $2.0 million to $15.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, driven by increases in legal, professional and other miscellaneous expenses. Compensation and benefits expense increased $1.1 million to $64.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $63.2 million for the trailing quarter primarily attributable to an increase in the accrual for performance-based incentive compensation, partially offset by a decrease in employee medical benefits. Partially offsetting these increases, amortization of intangibles decreased $919,000 to $8.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to a scheduled reduction in the rate of core deposit intangible amortization related to Lakeland. FDIC insurance decreased $660,000 to $2.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $3.4 million for the trailing quarter, primarily due to a decrease in the assessment rate.

The Company's annualized adjusted non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets(5) was 1.84% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 1.83% for the trailing quarter.

The decrease in tax expense and the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared with the trailing quarter was primarily related to tax credits recognized in the current quarter, which reduced the Company's taxable income by $3.4 million.

Three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, net income was $83.4 million, or $0.64 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $48.5 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Net interest income increased $160.0 million to $760.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, from $600.6 million for 2024. The increase in net interest income was largely driven by growth in average earning assets including net assets added in the May 16, 2024 acquisition of Lakeland and related accretion of purchase accounting adjustments, further aided by lower rates on funding.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 3.39%, compared to 3.26% for 2024.

The provision for credit losses on loans for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to overall growth in the loan portfolio.

Additionally, insurance agency income increased $2.1 million to $18.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $16.2 million for 2024, largely due to increases in contingent commissions, retention revenue and new business activity. Partially offsetting these increases in non-interest income, BOLI income decreased $1.6 million to $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2024, primarily due to a decrease in benefit claims, partially offset by an increase in income related to the addition of Lakeland's BOLI, while wealth management income decreased $1.3 million to $29.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 2024, mainly due to a decrease in the average market value of assets under management during the period.

Additionally, the increase in tax expense and the effective tax rate was due to a prior year $10.0 million tax benefit related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets.

The $22.0 million decrease in non-performing loans at December 31, 2025, compared to the trailing quarter, consisted of a $14.1 million decrease in non-performing construction loans and a $12.2 million decrease in non-performing commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in non-performing multi-family loans, a $1.2 million increase in non-performing residential loans, a $736,000 increase in non-performing commercial loans and a $468,000 increase in non-performing consumer loans. The reduction in non-performing loans for the quarter was driven by the sale of non-accruing notes, with associated charge-offs of $1.3 million. As of December 31, 2025, impaired loans totaled $63.3 million with related specific reserves of $5.9 million, compared with impaired loans totaling $85.4 million with related specific reserves of $6.2 million as of September 30, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, impaired loans totaled $55.4 million with related specific reserves of $7.5 million.

At December 31, 2025, the Company's allowance for credit losses related to the loan portfolio was 0.95% of total loans, compared to 0.97% and 1.04% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The allowance for credit losses decreased $8.7 million to $184.8 million at December 31, 2025, from $193.4 million at December 31, 2024. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses on loans at December 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 was primarily due to net charge-offs of $12.8 million, partially offset by a $4.1 million provision for credit losses on loans.

The following table sets forth accruing past due loans and non-accrual loans on the dates indicated, as well as certain asset quality ratios.

Total investment securities were $3.58 billion at December 31, 2025, a $354.0 million increase from December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to purchases of mortgage-backed securities and a decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities.

Notes and Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Dollars in Thousands, except share data)

The Company has presented the following non-GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is consistent with how the Company evaluates its performance internally and these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Company's industry. Investors should recognize that the Company's presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures and the Company strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.

2026 startet mit einem Paukenschlag: Der DAX outperformt den US-Markt, Nachzügler holen auf. Ein erstes Signal, dass der Bullenmarkt an Breite gewinnt. Während viele Anleger weiter auf die großen Tech-Namen setzen, hat sich im Hintergrund längst ein Umschwung vollzogen. Der Fokus verschiebt sich weg von überteuerten KI-Highflyern hin zu soliden Qualitätswerten aus der zweiten Reihe.

Anleger, die jetzt clever agieren, setzen nicht auf das, was war, sondern auf das, was kommt. Unternehmen mit gesunder Bilanz, unterschätztem Potenzial und begrenztem Abwärtsrisiko könnten 2026 zu den großen Gewinnern zählen. Die Gefahr einer schärferen Korrektur bleibt real, gerade für passiv aufgestellte Investoren.

In unserem neuen Spezialreport stellen wir fünf Aktien vor, die genau jetzt das Potenzial für überdurchschnittliche Renditen bieten. Stark, günstig und bislang kaum im Fokus.
