STOUGHTON, Mass., July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Randolph Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: RNDB) , the holding company for Envision Bank (the “Bank”), today announced net income of $5,191,000, or $1.02 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net income of $1,506,000, or $0.28 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $4,373,000, or $0.86 per share, compared to net income of $1,455,000, or $0.27 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Excluding $189,000 of operating expenses related to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $5,380,000, or $1.06 per share. Excluding one-time charges of $1,375,000 related to the retirement of senior executives and operating expenses of $207,000 related to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, earnings were $5,955,000, or $1.17 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.At June 30, 2020, total assets amounted to $724.0 million, compared to $652.9 million at March 31, 2020, an increase of $71.2 million, or 10.9%. Contributing to asset growth was a $14.7 million increase in net loans, mainly driven by Paycheck Protection Program loans, and a $54.8 million increase in cash and cash equivalents as a result of strong deposit growth and the timing of loan sales proceeds.William M. Parent, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The second quarter of 2020 was a record quarter in earnings for our Company. We are very pleased with the strong performance of our mortgage banking operations, which achieved record levels of loans closed, loans sold, and net revenue from loan sales and origination activity. We continue our focused growth in core deposits, increasing our non-brokered deposit base by $63.9 million in the quarter, reflecting the benefit of government programs for consumers and small businesses, and an environment of increased savings. With the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, we worked diligently to assist customers by participating in the Paycheck Protection Program, facilitating loan payment deferrals with borrowers experiencing hardship because of the pandemic, and leveraging our digital platform to service customers remotely, while continuing to have the vast majority of our team work remotely as well. With a strong balance sheet and capital position, the Company is ready to manage our continued evolution through whatever challenges lie ahead.”Second Quarter Operating Results
Net interest income increased by $244,000, or 5.4%, to $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $4.5 million the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in average interest-earning assets between periods of $39.5 million, or 6.4%, as the Company continued to leverage its strong capital base. The net interest margin decreased in the second quarter of 2020 to 2.88%, from 2.91% in the second quarter of 2019, due to deposit repricing lagging the decreasing interest-earning asset yields in a declining interest rate environment.The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared to a credit of $144,000 in the prior year quarter. The provision in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 included $154,000 representing the estimate of probable incurred losses associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2020, higher loss factors were assigned to each major loan portfolio category based on their level of risk, taking into consideration the deterioration in economic conditions given stay-at-home orders and sharply increased unemployment in our local marketplace. The allowance for loan losses was 1.22% and 0.90% of total loans at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was 186.0% and 131.4% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.Non-interest income increased $7.6 million, or 130.6%, to $13.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 from $5.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2019, principally due to an increase of $9.3 million in the net gain on loan origination and sale activities. Sold mortgage loans reached a record volume of $442.9 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase in the gain on loan origination and sale activities was partially offset by a decrease in net mortgage servicing fees due to a fair value adjustment for mortgage servicing rights of $1.5 million given expectations of higher prepayments.Non-interest expenses increased $2.5 million to $11.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 from $8.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The increase is principally due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $2.3 million, mainly related to higher commissions and incentives associated with increased residential loan production, as well as COVID-19 pandemic-related compensation of $101,000 for frontline and quarantined employees.Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $195,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 over the prior year period, partly as a result of increased spending on cleaning and supplies related to the COVID-19 pandemic of $70,000, in addition to increased depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment that are expected to be retired as we consolidate our administrative office space in light of prolonged remote working arrangements for certain back-office staff.Other non-interest expenses comprising professional fees, marketing, FDIC insurance and other non-interest expenses increased by $1,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 versus the prior year period as a result of a combination of factors.Marketing and certain operating expenses declined as a result of lower deposit customer activity while stay-at-home orders were in effect. Those reductions were offset by higher costs related to elevated mortgage loan production.Income tax expense of $594,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 consists solely of a state income tax provision which is based on the projected effective state tax rate for the year.The Company has a net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”) for federal tax purposes of $10.8 million. Since 2014, the NOL, as well as other deferred tax assets, have been subject to a full valuation allowance, which totaled $1.2 million at June 30, 2020. We evaluate the tax valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. Based primarily on an assessment of historical operating results, we concluded that the valuation allowance should be maintained at June 30, 2020.Year-to-Date Operating Results
Net interest income increased by $289,000, or 3.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was driven by an increase in average interest-earning assets between periods of $35.8 million, or 6.0%. The net interest margin decreased in the first half of 2020 to 2.89%, from 2.97% in the first half of 2019, due to deposit repricing lagging the decreasing interest-earning asset yields in a declining interest rate environment.The Company recognized a provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a credit of $144,000 in the prior year period. The provision in the first half of 2020 included $511,000 representing the estimate of probable incurred losses associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. At June 30, 2020, higher loss factors were assigned to each major loan portfolio category based on their level of risk, taking into consideration the deterioration in economic conditions given stay-at-home orders and sharply increased unemployment in our local marketplace.Non-interest income increased $10.6 million, or 113.9%, to $20.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $9.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, principally due to an increase of $13.8 million in the net gain on loan origination and sale activities. Mortgage loans sold were $657.9 million in the first half of 2020. The increase in the gain on loan origination and sale activities was partially offset by a decrease in net mortgage servicing fees due to a fair value adjustment for mortgage servicing rights of $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, given expectations of higher prepayments. The fair value adjustment for mortgage servicing rights was $114,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2019.Non-interest expenses increased $5.5 million, or 32.9%, to $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Non-interest expenses in the first half of 2020 included one-time charges of $1,375,000 related to the retirement of senior executives as well as $207,000 of COVID-19 pandemic-related expenses.In the first half of 2020, salaries and employee benefits increased $5.0 million, including one-time charges of $1.4 million for the retirement of senior executives, higher commissions and incentives associated with higher residential loan production, and COVID-19 pandemic-related compensation of $101,000 for frontline and quarantined employees.Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $238,000 in the first half of 2020 over the prior year period, partly as a result of increased spending on cleaning and supplies related to the COVID-19 pandemic of $106,000, as well as increased depreciation of furniture, fixtures and equipment that are expected to be retired as we consolidate our administrative office space in light of prolonged remote working arrangements for certain back-office staff.Professional fees in the first half of 2020 increased $80,000 over the prior year period, primarily related to management succession planning costs. Spending on marketing in the first half of 2020 was $65,000 less than in the prior year period due to fewer marketing campaigns while our communities are subject to a stay-at-home order. The increase of $310,000 in other non-interest expenses in the first half of 2020 was driven mainly by costs related to higher mortgage loan production.Income tax expense of $605,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 consists solely of a state income tax provision which is based on the projected effective state tax rate for the year.Balance Sheet
At June 30, 2020, total assets amounted to $724.0 million compared to $631.0 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $93.0 million, or 14.7%. Contributing to asset growth was a $21.8 million increase in net loans, mainly driven by the issuance of 177 Paycheck Protection Program loans for $15.1 million, as well as smaller increases in residential and commercial real estate loans. In addition, cash and cash equivalents increased by $67.8 million in the first half of 2020, mainly as a result of strong core growth in deposits and the timing of cash proceeds from loan sales. Loans held for sale decreased by $1.1 million to $61.7 million at June 30, 2020 from $62.8 million at December 31, 2019.The increase in total assets was funded by deposit growth. Non-brokered deposits totaled $483.0 million at June 30, 2020, increasing by $76.8 million, or 18.9%, in the first half of 2020. Driving the growth in non-brokered deposits included customers’ receipt of government stimulus, Paycheck Protection Program loan proceeds which were deposited with us, and our focus on deposit gathering prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Brokered deposits declined by $34.9 million to $56.0 million at June 30, 2020, from $90.9 million at December 31, 2019. Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and Federal Reserve Bank advances increased by $42.6 million to $87.0 million at June 30, 2020, from $44.4 million at December 31, 2019, given the funding of our Paycheck Protection Program loans and other loans with FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank advances, which were a relatively cheaper source of wholesale funding during the first quarter of the year.Total stockholders’ equity was $84.5 million at June 30, 2020 compared to $78.5 million at December 31, 2019. The increase of $6.1 million relates mainly to net income in the period of $4.4 million and an increase in the fair value of available-for-sale securities, net of taxes, of $1.7 million. In addition, the Company repurchased $1.2 million of shares during the first half of 2020, and equity adjustments related to the stock benefit plan and employee stock ownership plan amounted to $1.2 million in the period.COVID-19 Impact
In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers and our business, the Company implemented a series of measures through the date of this release, including participation in the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program, for which we funded $15.1 million of loans through June 30, 2020, and granting payment deferrals for residential mortgage, home equity and certain commercial borrowers who were current in their payments. Depending on the circumstances of the borrowers, the forbearance calls for a reduced or full deferral of payment.
