Roberto, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of PCSB Financial Corporation. “The COVID-19 related pandemic is presenting our country and our industry with unprecedented challenges in dealing with this crisis. Our challenge, as a community bank, is to assist and support our customers, local communities and shareholders in dealing with the financial impact this crisis will have caused. Some of the actions taken by the Bank have included loan payment deferrals, loan modifications, lending through the Small Business Administration’s Payroll Protection Program (“PPP Loans”), fee waivers and donations to non-profit organizations at the center of this crisis through our PCSB Community Foundation. The full effect of the economic shutdown is not yet known and it remains to be seen how effective the federal lending programs, loan payment deferrals and stimulus checks will be to offset the expected negative impact on credit quality and growth moving forward. We enter this crisis from a strong capital and liquidity position as we begin to assess the credit impact of the current economic shutdown. There will be more clarity to come in the months that follow; however, we believe that our $1.7 million addition to our loan loss reserves is a prudent first step in recognizing the potential credit risk resulting from the current economic downturn.”COVID-19 ResponseIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has been active in providing assistance to our employees, customers and communities, as well as assessing the risks and potential impact on the Company’s financial position, including liquidity, credit quality, earnings and capital. The following is a summary of these actions through April 28, 2020:Support for our Employees and Branch LocationsNo furloughs; all employees at 100% payAdministrative employees with ability to work from home; stagger essential front-line employee schedules.Reduced branch hours and use of lobbies, use of drive-thru capabilities, promote use of personal protective equipment by employees and customers.Support for Individual and Business CustomersWaive or reduce certain fees, including overdraft fees, ATM fees, late charges and early CD withdrawal penalties.Moratorium on foreclosures and certain credit bureau reporting.Consumer loan payment deferrals granted for 97 loans totaling $27.0 million, representing approximately 9.1% of the residential mortgage and home equity line of credit portfolios.Commercial loan payment deferrals granted for 172 loans totaling $125.1 million, representing approximately 13.5% of the commercial mortgage, commercial loan and construction portfolios.Processed $46.4 million in PPP loans to over 240 small business employing over 3,900 employees across our local communities.Support for Our Communities

Risk Assessment and Financial Impact
LiquidityManagement believes the Company’s liquidity is strong. At March 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $84.9 million and securities available for sale totaled $46.0 million. Additionally, the Company had remaining borrowing capacity of $270.6 million, including $127.1 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, $118.5 million from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York discount window, as well as $25.0 million in other lines of credit. The Company did not experience significant draws on working capital lines of credit or home equity lines of credit during the quarter. Unused lines of credit totaled $98.6 million (43% usage rate) as of March 31, 2020, compared to $105.5 million (41% usage rate) as of December 31, 2019.CapitalThe Company’s capital position is also strong. At March 31, 2020, all of the Bank’s regulatory capital ratios significantly exceeded well-capitalized standards. Specifically, the Bank’s Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 13.2% as of March 31, 2020, which represents 2 ½ times the well-capitalized regulatory standard of 5.0%. Additionally, as of March 31, 2020, PCSB Financial Corporation (parent of PCSB Bank) has $41.1 million of additional funds that could be contributed to the Bank as capital, which would result in a proforma Tier 1 Leverage ratio of 15.7%.Credit RiskThe Company has taken actions to identify, assess and address its COVID-19 related credit exposure. Many factors are unknown, including the length of the resulting economic shutdown imposed by New York State and other neighboring states, the impacts of the government fiscal and monetary relief measures, including payment deferral programs, as well as the long-term impacts COVID-19 may have on our consumer and commercial borrowers. The Company has begun to assess its credit exposures based on asset class and borrower type. The following table provides the Company’s commercial and construction exposures to those industries believed to be the most directly and significantly impacted by the pandemic:
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has no exposure to leveraged lending, shared national credits or energy exploration.
Income Statement SummaryNet interest income was $11.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $172,000, or 1.5%, compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019, and an increase of $788,000, or 7.3%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net interest income compared to the prior year is primarily the result of an increase in average interest earning assets, as the Company experienced significant growth in average loans receivable compared to the same quarter last year. However, the effect of the growth was partially offset by a decrease in net interest margin. Net interest income declined compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2019 as a result of margin compression.The net interest margin was 2.89% for the current quarter reflecting decreases of 4 basis points compared to 2.93% in the prior quarter and 5 basis points compared to 2.94% in the prior year quarter. Despite continued asset growth and a more profitable asset mix, along with a decrease in funding costs, margin compression has resulted from significant decreases in market interest rates over the past quarter disproportionately affecting asset yields.The yield on interest-earning assets for the current quarter was 3.86%, an 8 basis point decrease from the prior quarter driven by lower market rates, and an 11 basis point increase from the prior year quarter, as a higher yielding asset mix more than offset the downward pressures on market interest rates.The cost of interest-bearing deposits was 1.18% for the current quarter, a decrease of 2 basis points from the prior quarter and an increase of 14 basis points from 1.04% for the prior year quarter. The Company has experienced a shift in deposit mix over the past several quarters as customers in generally lower rate savings products moved to generally higher rate money market and time deposits, however the pace of this shift has slowed in recent quarters. In response to the decrease in market interest rates late in the current quarter, deposit rate reductions were implemented, the effects of which are expected be fully realized in future quarters. As of March 31, 2020, the Company had $192.8 million of money market accounts with a weighted average cost of 0.55% compared to 1.03% as of December 31, 2019. Additionally, as of the end of the quarter, time deposits maturing in the next three and twelve months totaled $104.9 million and $277.9 million, with weighted average costs of 2.21% and 2.00%, respectively. These deposits, should they remain with the Company in their current products and re-price to our current offer rates, would be expected to carry an estimated weighted average cost of 1.02% and 0.99%, respectively.The provision for loan losses was $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $412,000 in the prior quarter and $7,000 for the same quarter in 2019. The current quarter provision includes a $1.7 million increase in qualitative reserves as the Company begins to assess the economic impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our local economy and loan portfolio. Recoveries, net of charge-offs, were $122,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net charge-offs of $189,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Loans classified as substandard or doubtful totaled $5.0 million, an increase of $27,000, or 0.5%, from December 31, 2019 and a decrease of $4.0 million, or 45.0%, from $9.0 million at March 31, 2019. Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans receivable was 0.15% as of March 31, 2020, a slight increase from 0.14% as of December 31, 2019 and a decrease from 0.30% as of March 31, 2019.Noninterest income of $580,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased $33,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019, as increases of $38,000 in gains on sale of securities and $40,000 in gains on sale of foreclosed real estate were partially offset by a $36,000 decrease in fees and service charges. The reduction in fee and service charge income was primarily due to our waiver of certain overdraft fees, ATM usage fees, wire and CD early withdrawal fees in response to COVID-19, as required by emergency regulations promulgated by the New York State Department of Financial Services. The Company began waiving such fees in accordance with this guidance on or about March 20, 2020, with approximately $22,000 in fees waived in the current quarter. Noninterest income for the current year to date period was largely unchanged compared to the prior year to date period, as increases of $38,000 in gains on sale of securities and $40,000 in gains on sale of foreclosed real estate were mostly offset by a $70,000 decrease in fees and service charges.Noninterest expense of $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 decreased $274,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2019 and decreased $178,000 compared to the same period in 2019. The $274,000 decrease from the prior quarter was caused primarily by decreases of $107,000 in salaries and benefits, $109,000 in other post-retirement benefit costs, as well as $58,000 in all other expenses. The $178,000 decrease from the prior year period was caused primarily by decreases of $232,000 decrease in other post-retirement benefit costs, $105,000 in FDIC assessment costs and $44,000 in all other expenses, partially offset by a $203,000 increase in salaries and benefits expense. During the current quarter, the Bank applied small bank assessment credits of $108,000 which fully offset its FDIC assessment for the current quarter. The remaining credits available are approximately $22,000.The effective income tax rate was 22.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to 22.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 23.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.Balance Sheet SummaryTotal assets increased $58.3 million to $1.70 billion at March 31, 2020 from $1.64 billion at June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to increases of $127.6 million, or 11.7%, in net loans receivable, $24.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and $11.1 million in premises and equipment, partially offset by a decrease of $108.2 million in total investment securities. The $127.6 million increase in loans was the result of $172.4 million of originations and $47.9 million of loan purchases, partially offset by $92.7 million of net amortization, repayments and other loan activity. Commercial mortgages increased $124.0 million, or 19.0%, and construction loans increased $11.7 million, or 88.4%, while commercial loans, residential mortgages and home equity lines of credit all had immaterial changes.Total liabilities increased $67.2 million to $1.42 billion at March 31, 2020 from $1.36 billion at June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to a $53.8 million, or 4.4%, increase in deposits and escrow accounts and a $19.9 million increase in other liabilities, primarily as a result of recording a $12.0 million lease liability (a related lease asset was also recorded as part of premises and equipment) associated with the adoption of new lease accounting standards, partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease in FHLB advances.Total shareholders’ equity decreased $8.9 million to $272.4 million at March 31, 2020 from $281.3 million at June 30, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of $18.1 million (905,902 shares) of common stock and $1.9 million of cash dividends declared and paid, partially offset by net income of $6.4 million, as well as $3.9 million of stock-based compensation and reduction in unearned ESOP shares for plan shares earned during the period. During the quarter, the Company completed its second stock repurchase plan. To date, no additional repurchase plans have been authorized.At March 31, 2020, the Company’s book value per share and tangible book value per share were $16.12 and $15.74, respectively, compared to $15.80 and $15.44, respectively, at June 30, 2019. Reconciliations of book value per share (GAAP measure) to tangible book value per share (non-GAAP measure) appear at the end of this release. At March 31, 2020, the Bank was considered “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.
