Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE:PFS) (the “Company”)
reported net income of $27.3 million, or $0.36 per basic and
diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2023,
compared to $28.5 million, or $0.38 per basic and diluted share,
for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and $49.0 million, or
$0.66 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended
December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net income
totaled $128.4 million, or $1.72 per basic share and $1.71 per
diluted share, compared to $175.6 million, or $2.35 per basic and
diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2022. Net income for
the three months and year ended December 31, 2023 was largely
impacted by a decrease in net interest income, primarily
attributable to a decrease in lower-costing deposits and an
increase in borrowings, combined with unfavorable repricing of both
deposits and borrowings, in addition to increased provisions for
credit losses primarily due to a worsened economic forecast
compared to the prior year. Transaction costs related to our
pending merger with Lakeland Bancorp, Inc. (“Lakeland”) totaled
$2.5 million and $7.8 million, for the three months and year ended
December 31, 2023, respectively, compared with transaction costs of
$1.2 million and $4.1 million for the respective 2022 periods. In
addition, prior year earnings for the year ended December 31, 2022,
included an $8.6 million gain on the sale of a foreclosed property.
Performance Highlights for the Fourth
Quarter of 2023
- The Company’s total
loan portfolio increased $206.1 million, or 7.7% annualized, to
$10.87 billion at December 31, 2023, from $10.67 billion at
September 30, 2023.
- Net interest income
before provision for credit losses remained relatively flat at
$95.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023,
compared to the prior quarter.
- The net interest
margin decreased four basis points to 2.92% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2023, from 2.96% for the trailing quarter.
- The average yield
on total loans increased 13 basis points to 5.50% for the quarter
ended December 31, 2023, compared to the trailing quarter,
while the average cost of deposits, including non-interest-bearing
deposits, increased 21 basis points to 1.95% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2023.
- At
December 31, 2023, the Company's loan pipeline, consisting of
work-in-process and loans approved pending closing, totaled $1.09
billion, with a weighted average interest rate of 7.08%.
- At
December 31, 2023, CRE loans related to office properties
totaled $483.1 million, compared to $483.3 million at
September 30, 2023. This portfolio constitutes 4.5% of total
loans. Approximately 35% of our office loans are to medical offices
and we do not have significant central business district exposure.
Delinquencies in the office portfolio at December 31, 2023,
were limited to one loan totaling $825,000. The portfolio is
granular, with an average outstanding loan balance of $1.8 million
and just three relationships greater than $10.0 million.
- The Company
recorded a $500,000 provision for credit losses for the quarter
ended December 31, 2023, compared to an $11.0 million
provision for the trailing quarter. The decrease in the provision
for credit losses for the quarter was primarily attributable to an
improved economic forecast for the current quarter within our
Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model.
- The Company's
earnings for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023 were
negatively impacted by a $3.0 million charge for contingent
litigation reserves, a $2.0 million write-down of a foreclosed
property and a $775,000 charge for the FDIC special
assessment.
- The Company's
annualized adjusted pre-tax, pre-provision ("PTPP") return on
average assets(1) was 1.25% for the quarter ended December 31,
2023, compared to 1.48% for the quarter ended September 30,
2023.
- Annualized returns
on average assets, average equity and average tangible equity(1)
were 0.77%, 6.60% and 9.15%, respectively for the three months
ended December 31, 2023, compared with 0.81%, 6.84% and 9.47%,
respectively for the trailing quarter.
Anthony J. Labozzetta, President and Chief
Executive Officer commented, “Provident produced respectable
financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2023
despite challenging market conditions throughout the year. We had
solid loan growth, including annualized growth in our total loan
portfolio of 7.7% during the fourth quarter. Our fee income from
the wealth management and insurance agency businesses continue to
make significant contributions to our overall financial success.
Elevated short-term interest rates and a shift in the funding mix
continued to impact our net interest margin, however, we are
starting to see stabilization in our funding costs. An increased
provision for loan losses largely driven by changes in our CECL
economic forecast also impacted the full year's results, however,
our asset quality remains strong.”
Regarding the previously announced pending
merger with Lakeland Bancorp, Inc., Labozzetta added, “Provident is
actively engaged in discussions with our regulators concerning the
merger. Both Provident and Lakeland have agreed to extend the
merger deadline to March 31, 2024, to allow additional time to
obtain the necessary regulatory approvals. Provident looks forward
to closing the transaction as soon as possible following receipt of
the approvals.”

Results of Operations
Three months ended December 31, 2023
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023
For the three months ended December 31, 2023,
net income was $27.3 million, or $0.36 per basic and diluted share,
compared to net income of $28.5 million, or $0.38 per basic and
diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest
Margin
Net interest income decreased $448,000 to $95.8
million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, from $96.2
million for the trailing quarter. The decrease in net interest
income was primarily due to a decrease in lower-costing deposits
and an increase in borrowings, combined with unfavorable repricing
of both deposits and borrowings, partially offset by originations
of new loans at current market rates and the favorable repricing of
adjustable-rate loans.
The Company’s net interest margin decreased four
basis points to 2.92% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023,
from 2.96% for the trailing quarter. The average yield on
interest-earning assets for the quarter ended December 31,
2023 increased 15 basis points to 5.04%, compared to the trailing
quarter. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the
quarter ended December 31, 2023 increased 21 basis points to
2.71%, compared to the trailing quarter. The average cost of
interest-bearing deposits for the quarter ended December 31,
2023 increased 25 basis points to 2.47%, compared to 2.22% for the
trailing quarter. The average cost of total deposits, including
non-interest-bearing deposits, was 1.95% for the quarter ended
December 31, 2023, compared to 1.74% for the trailing quarter.
The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended
December 31, 2023 was 3.71%, compared to 3.74% for the quarter
ended September 30, 2023.
Provision for Credit Losses
For the quarter ended December 31, 2023,
the Company recorded a $500,000 provision for credit losses related
to loans, compared with a provision for credit losses of $11.0
million for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease
in the provision for credit losses for the quarter was primarily
attributable to an improved economic forecast for the current
quarter within our CECL model.
Non-Interest Income and
Expense
For the three months ended December 31,
2023, non-interest income totaled $19.0 million, a decrease of
$352,000, compared to the trailing quarter. Insurance agency income
decreased $465,000 to $2.8 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, compared to $3.2 million for the trailing
quarter, largely due to a seasonal decrease in business activity.
Bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") income decreased $176,000
compared to the trailing quarter, to $1.6 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a benefit
claim recognized in the prior quarter, partially offset by higher
equity valuations. Additionally, wealth management income decreased
$149,000 compared to the trailing quarter, to $6.8 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a
decrease in the average market value of assets under management
during the period. Partially offsetting these decreases in
non-interest income, other income increased $488,000 to $1.6
million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared
to the trailing quarter, primarily due to an increase in net gains
on the sale of SBA loans.
Non-interest expense totaled $74.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $7.3
million, compared to $67.2 million for the trailing quarter. Other
operating expenses increased $4.9 million to $15.6 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the trailing
quarter. The increase in other operating expenses was largely due
to a $3.0 million charge for contingent litigation reserves,
combined with a $2.0 million write-down of a foreclosed property.
Compensation and benefits expense increased $3.1 million to $38.8
million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared
to $35.7 million for the trailing quarter. The increase in
compensation and benefit expense was primarily attributable to
increases in the accrual for incentive compensation,
post-retirement benefit expense and employee medical benefits,
partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense.
FDIC insurance increased $1.3 million to $2.9 million for the three
months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $1.6 million for
the trailing quarter, primarily due to the FDIC special assessment,
combined with an increase in the assessment rate. Additionally,
data processing expense increased $1.1 million to $6.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the
trailing quarter, largely due to an increase in software related
expenses. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the
Company recorded a $1.4 million benefit to the provision for credit
losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures, compared to a $1.5
million provision for the trailing quarter. The $2.9 million
decrease in the provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet
credit exposures for the current quarter was primarily due to a
decrease in loans approved and awaiting closing.
The Company’s annualized adjusted non-interest
expense as a percentage of average assets(1) was 1.98% for the
quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to 1.80% for the
trailing quarter. The efficiency ratio (adjusted non-interest
expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest
income)(1) was 61.32% for the three months ended December 31,
2023, compared to 54.81% for the trailing quarter.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended December 31,
2023, the Company's income tax expense was $12.5 million with an
effective tax rate of 31.3%, compared with income tax expense of
$8.8 million with an effective tax rate of 23.7% for the trailing
quarter. The increase in tax expense for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, compared with the trailing quarter was
largely due to an increase in taxable income and a discrete item
related to deferred taxes on stock-based compensation in the
current quarter. This discrete item was also the primary reason for
the increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, compared with the trailing quarter.
Three months ended December 31, 2023
compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022
For the three months ended December 31,
2023, net income was $27.3 million, or $0.36 per basic and diluted
share, compared to net income of $49.0 million, or $0.66 per basic
and diluted share, for the three months ended December 31,
2022.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest
Margin
Net interest income decreased $18.3 million to
$95.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023,
from $114.1 million for same period in 2022. The decrease in net
interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2023,
was primarily due to a decrease in lower-costing deposits and an
increase in borrowings, combined with unfavorable repricing of both
deposits and borrowings, partially offset by originations of new
loans and the favorable repricing of adjustable-rate loans.
The Company’s net interest margin decreased 70
basis points to 2.92% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023,
from 3.62% for the same period last year. The average yield on
interest-earning assets for the quarter ended December 31,
2023 increased 68 basis points to 5.04%, compared to 4.36% for the
quarter ended December 31, 2022. The average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased 171 basis points for the
quarter ended December 31, 2023 to 2.71%, compared to 1.00%
for the fourth quarter of 2022. The average cost of
interest-bearing deposits for the quarter ended December 31,
2023 was 2.47%, compared to 0.90% for the same period last year.
The average cost of total deposits, including non-interest-bearing
deposits, was 1.95% for the quarter ended December 31, 2023,
compared with 0.67% for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
The average cost of borrowed funds for the quarter ended
December 31, 2023 was 3.71%, compared to 1.74% for the same
period last year.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2023,
the Company recorded a $500,000 provision for credit losses related
to loans, compared with a $3.4 million provision for credit losses
for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in the
provision for credit losses was largely a function of the
period-over-period improvement in the economic forecast.
Non-Interest Income and
Expense
Non-interest income totaled $19.0 million for
the quarter ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $702,000,
compared to the same period in 2022. Other income increased
$911,000 to $1.6 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, compared to the quarter ended
December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in net gains
on the sale of SBA loans. Insurance agency income increased
$454,000 to $2.8 million, for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022,
largely due to strong retention revenue and new business activity,
while wealth management income increased $247,000 to $6.8 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the
same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in the average
market value of assets under management. Partially offsetting these
increases in non-interest income, fee income decreased $510,000 to
$6.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023,
compared to the same period in 2022, largely due to a decrease in
commercial loan prepayment fees. Additionally, BOLI income
decreased $366,000 to $1.6 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, largely due to a benefit claim recognized
in the same period in 2022.
Non-interest expense totaled $74.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $12.8
million, compared to $61.7 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2022. Other operating expenses increased $5.2
million to $15.6 million for the three months ended December 31,
2023, compared to the same period in 2022. The increase in other
operating expenses was largely due to a $3.0 million charge for
contingent litigation reserves, combined with a $2.0 million
write-down of a foreclosed property. Compensation and benefits
expense increased $4.2 million to $38.8 million for three months
ended December 31, 2023, compared to $34.6 million for the same
period in 2022. The increase was principally due to increases in
salary expense, employee medical benefits and post-retirement
benefit expense, partially offset by decreases in the accrual for
incentive compensation and stock-based compensation. FDIC insurance
increased $1.7 million to $2.9 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, compared to $1.2 million for the same
period in 2022, primarily due to an increase in the assessment rate
and the FDIC special assessment. Additionally, data processing
expense increased $1.3 million to $6.5 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022,
largely due to an increase in software related expenses.
Merger-related expense increased $1.2 million to $2.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same
period in 2022. Partially offsetting these increases, net occupancy
expenses decreased $507,000 to $7.8 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022,
largely due to decreases in maintenance, depreciation and rent
expenses.
The Company’s annualized adjusted non-interest
expense as a percentage of average assets(1) was 1.98% for the
quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to 1.79% for the
same period in 2022. The efficiency ratio (adjusted non-interest
expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest
income)(1) was 61.32% for the three months ended December 31, 2023
compared to 46.88% for the same respective period in 2022.
Income Tax Expense
For the three months ended December 31, 2023,
the Company's income tax expense was $12.5 million with an
effective tax rate of 31.3%, compared with $18.2 million with an
effective tax rate of 27.1% for the three months ended December 31,
2022. The decrease in tax expense for the three months ended
December 31, 2023, compared with the same period last year was
largely the result of a decrease in taxable income. The increase in
the effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31,
2023, compared with the three months ended December 31, 2022, was
primarily due to a discrete item recorded in the current quarter
related to deferred taxes on stock-based compensation.
Year Ended
December 31, 2023 compared to the
Year ended December 31, 2022
For the year ended December 31, 2023, net
income totaled $128.4 million, or $1.72 per basic share and $1.71
per diluted share, compared to net income of $175.6 million, or
$2.35 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended

Net Interest Income and Net Interest
Margin
Net interest income decreased $18.1 million to
$399.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from
$417.6 million for same period in 2022. The decrease in net
interest income for the year ended December 31, 2023, was
primarily due to a decrease in lower-costing deposits and an
increase in borrowings, combined with unfavorable repricing of both
deposits and borrowings, partially offset by originations of new
loans and the favorable repricing of adjustable-rate loans. For the
year ended December 31, 2023, fees related to the forgiveness
of PPP loans decreased $1.4 million to $7,000, compared to $1.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the
net interest margin decreased 21 basis points to 3.16%, compared to
3.37% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The average yield
on interest earning assets increased 111 basis points to 4.87% for

year ended December 31, 2022, while the average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased 170 basis points to 2.24%
for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to 0.54% last
year. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 152
basis points to 1.99% for the year ended December 31, 2023,
compared to 0.47% in the prior year. Average non-interest-bearing
demand deposits decreased $421.0 million to $2.33 billion for the
year ended December 31, 2023, compared with $2.75 billion for
the year ended December 31, 2022, with the majority of the
decrease coming from transfers to our Insured Cash Sweep (“ICS”)
product following the March 2023 bank failures. The average cost of
total deposits, including non-interest-bearing deposits, was 1.54%
for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with 0.35% for
the year ended December 31, 2022. The average cost of
borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2023 was 3.41%,
compared to 1.23% in the prior year.
Provision for Credit Losses
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the
Company recorded a $27.9 million provision for credit losses
related to loans, compared with a provision for credit losses of
$8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The
increase in the year-over-year provision for credit losses was
primarily attributable to a worsened economic forecast and related
deterioration in the projected commercial property price indices
used in our CECL model. For the year ended December 31, 2023,
net charge-offs totaled $8.1 million, or 8 basis points of average
loans, which was primarily attributable to two commercial
loans.
Non-Interest Income and
Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2023,
non-interest income totaled $79.8 million, a decrease of $8.0
million, compared to the same period in 2022. Other income
decreased $6.9 million to $7.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023, compared to $14.2 million for the same
period in 2022, primarily due to an $8.6 million gain realized in
the prior year on the sale of a foreclosed commercial office
property, partially offset by an increase in gains on sales of SBA
loans. Additionally, fee income decreased $3.7 million to $24.4
million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the
same period in 2022, primarily due to a decrease in commercial loan
prepayment fees. Partially offsetting these decreases in
non-interest income, insurance agency income increased $2.5 million
to $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023,
compared to $11.4 million for the same period in 2022, largely due
to increases in retention revenue and new business activity. BOLI
income increased $494,000 to $6.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022,
largely due to greater equity valuations, partially offset by a
decrease in benefit claims recognized.
Non-interest expense totaled $275.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $18.8
million, compared to $256.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022. Other operating expense increased $8.5
million to $47.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023,
compared to $38.9 million for the year ended December 31,
2022. The increase in other operating expenses was largely due to a
$3.0 million charge for contingent litigation reserves, combined
with a $2.0 million write-down of a foreclosed property and an
increase in professional fees. Merger-related expense increased
$3.7 million to $7.8 million for the year ended December 31,
2023, compared to 2022. The Company recorded a $264,000 provision
for credit losses for off-balance sheet credit exposures, compared
to a $3.4 million negative provision last year. The $3.6 million
increase in the provision for credit losses for off-balance sheet
credit exposures for the year was primarily due to a period over
period decrease in line of credit utilization, combined with a
period over period increase in loans approved and awaiting closing.
FDIC insurance increased $3.4 million to $8.6 million for the year
ended December 31, 2023, compared to $5.2 million for the
trailing year, primarily due to an increase in the assessment rate
and the FDIC special assessment. Data processing expense increased
$1.3 million to $23.0 million for the year ended December 31,
2023, mainly due to an increase in software service and core
processing expenses. Compensation and benefits expense increased
$1.3 million to $148.5 million for the year ended December 31,
2023, compared to $147.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2022, primarily due to increases in salary
expense, employee medical benefits and post-retirement benefit
expense, partially offset by decreases in the accrual for incentive
compensation and stock-based compensation. Partially offsetting
these increases, net occupancy expense decreased $2.3 million to
$32.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared
to the same period in 2022, mainly due to decreases in depreciation
and maintenance expenses.
Income Tax Expense
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the
Company's income tax expense was $47.4 million with an effective
tax rate of 27.0%, compared with $64.5 million with an effective
tax rate of 26.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The
decrease in tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2023,
compared with the same period last year was largely the result of a
decrease in taxable income.
Asset Quality
The Company’s total non-performing loans at
December 31, 2023 were $49.6 million, or 0.46% of total loans,
compared to $39.5 million or 0.37% of total loans at
September 30, 2023 and $58.5 million, or 0.57% of total loans
at December 31, 2022. The $10.1 million increase in
non-performing loans at December 31, 2023, compared to the
trailing quarter, consisted of a $19.6 million increase in
non-performing commercial loans and a $138,000 increase in
non-performing consumer loans, partially offset by a $6.5 million
decrease in non-performing commercial mortgage loans, a $1.5
million decrease in non-performing multi-family loans, a $1.1
million decrease in non-performing construction loans and a
$476,000 decrease in non-performing residential loans. At
December 31, 2023, impaired loans totaled $42.3 million with
related specific reserves of $2.9 million, compared with impaired
loans totaling $30.4 million with related specific reserves of $3.4
million at September 30, 2023. At December 31, 2022,
impaired loans totaled $42.8 million with related specific reserves
of $2.4 million.
At December 31, 2023, the Company’s
allowance for credit losses related to the loan portfolio was 0.99%
of total loans, compared to 1.01% and 0.86% at September 30,
2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The allowance for
credit losses increased $19.2 million to $107.2 million at
December 31, 2023, from $88.0 million at December 31,
2022. The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans at
December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 was due
to a $27.9 million provision for credit losses, partially offset by
net charge-offs of $8.1 million. The increase in the allowance for
credit losses on loans was primarily due to the weakened economic
forecast used in our CECL model, combined with an increase in total
loans outstanding.
The following table sets forth accruing past due
loans and non-accrual loans on the dates indicated, as well as
certain asset quality ratios.

$14.2 billion, a $427.4 million increase from December 31,

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the
Company experienced net increases of $298.7 million in multi-family
loans, $208.7 million in commercial loans and $196.2 million in
commercial mortgage loans, partially offset by net decreases of
$62.2 million in construction loans and net decreases in
residential mortgage and consumer loans of $12.7 million and $5.6
million, respectively. Commercial loans, consisting of commercial
real estate, multi-family, commercial and construction loans,
represented 86.5% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2023,
compared to 85.6% at December 31, 2022.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, loan
funding, including advances on lines of credit, totaled $3.34
billion, compared with $3.95 billion for the same period in
2022.
At December 31, 2023, the Company’s
unfunded loan commitments totaled $2.09 billion, including
commitments of $1.16 billion in commercial loans, $539.6 million in
construction loans and $58.9 million in commercial mortgage loans.
Unfunded loan commitments at September 30, 2023 and
December 31, 2022 totaled $2.18 billion and $2.06 billion,
respectively.
The loan pipeline, consisting of work-in-process
and loans approved pending closing, totaled $1.09 billion at
December 31, 2023, compared to $1.70 billion at September 30,
2023 and $1.29 billion at December 31, 2022.
Total investment securities were $2.13 billion
at December 31, 2023, a $127.5 million decrease from
December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to
repayments of mortgage-backed securities, a decrease in unrealized
losses on available for sale debt securities and maturities and
calls of certain municipal and agency bonds, partially offset by
purchases of mortgage-backed and municipal securities.
Total deposits decreased $270.5 million during
the year ended December 31, 2023, to $10.29 billion. Total
savings and demand deposit accounts decreased $615.0 million to
$9.20 billion at December 31, 2023, while total time deposits
increased $344.5 million to $1.10 billion at December 31,
2023. The decrease in savings and demand deposits was largely
attributable to a $440.6 million decrease in non-interest-bearing
demand deposits, a $262.9 million decrease in savings deposits and
a $216.8 million decrease in money market deposits, partially
offset by a $305.3 million increase in interest-bearing demand
deposits. During the year ended December 31, 2023, ICS
deposits increased $461.3 million to $520.2 million at
December 31, 2023, from $58.9 million at December 31,
2022. The increase in time deposits consisted of a $366.4 million
increase in retail time deposits, partially offset by a $21.9
million decrease in brokered time deposits.
Borrowed funds increased $632.7 million during
the year ended December 31, 2023, to $1.97 billion. The
increase in borrowings was largely due to asset funding
requirements. Borrowed funds represented 13.9% of total assets at
December 31, 2023, an increase from 9.7% at December 31,
2022.
Stockholders’ equity increased $92.9 million
during the year ended December 31, 2023, to $1.69 billion,
primarily due to net income earned for the period and a decrease in
unrealized losses on available for sale debt securities, partially
offset by cash dividends paid to stockholders. For the year ended
December 31, 2023, common stock repurchases totaled 71,781
shares at an average cost of $23.28 per share, all of which were
made in connection with withholding to cover income taxes on the
vesting of stock-based compensation. At December 31, 2023,
approximately 1.1 million shares remained eligible for repurchase
under the current stock repurchase authorization. Book value per
share and tangible book value per share(1) at December 31,
2023 were $22.38 and $16.32, respectively, compared with $21.25 and
$15.12, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

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.
