Malvern Bancorp, Inc. ReportsSecond Quarter 2021Operating Results

PAOLI, PA., May 11, 2021 -- Malvern Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLVF) (the 'Company'), the parent company of Malvern Bank, National Association (the 'Bank'), today reported operating results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021. Net income amounted to $2.2 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted common share, compared with net income of $1.9 million, or $0.25 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increases in net income and diluted earnings per share from the second quarter of 2020 were primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan losses. Annualized return on average assets ('ROAA') was 0.73 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 0.61 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and annualized return on average equity ('ROAE') was 6.14 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared with 5.29 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

For the six months ended March 31, 2021, net income amounted to $4.5 million, or $0.60 per fully diluted common share, compared with net income of $2.7 million, or $0.35 per fully diluted common share, for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The annualized ROAA was 0.73 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 0.43 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2020, and the annualized ROAE was 6.26 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared with 3.74 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2020.

'I am pleased to report improved business results for the second quarter, including increased net income, net interest margin, and other key metrics, which indicate a recent economic momentum in our markets. With continued momentum, we also anticipate a marked improvement in business opportunities and an environment in which businesses can rebound further. These trends should lead to improved credit quality and strong operating results for the balance of 2021,' commented Anthony C. Weagley, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Statement of Income Highlights at March 31, 2021

Net interest margin ('NIM') increased to 2.54 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 2.24 percent for the prior year's quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase was driven by the reduction in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest-earning assets. On a linked quarter basis, NIM compressed 0.08 percent to 2.62 percent; the linked quarter compression was driven by adjustments to loan interest income as a result of non-accrual interest and related COVID deferred interest.

Net interest income increased $425,000, or 3.1 percent, for the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to a reduction in cost of interest-bearing deposits. Net interest income decreased $502,000 compared to the sequential quarter ended December 31, 2020.

The Company did not record a provision for loan losses during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021. The Company's provision for loan losses in the sequential quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $550,000. For the six months ended March 31, 2021, provision for loan losses was $550,000, or $2.2 million less than the $2.8 million provision recorded for the six months ended March 31, 2020.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $6.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, NIM increased by 30 basis points to 2.54 percent, as compared to 2.24 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. This increase was primarily driven by a reduction in interest expenses as the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 79 basis points compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2020, offset in part by the impact of adjustments to loan interest income as a result of non-accrual interest and related COVID deferred interest. The cost of borrowings decreased by 42 basis points compared to the second fiscal quarter of 2020.

Net interest income was $14.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $425,000, or 3.1 percent, from $13.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020. For the six months ended March 31, 2021, NIM increased by 30 basis points to 2.58 percent, as compared to 2.28 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2020. Consistent with the current quarter, this increase was primarily driven by the 74 basis point decrease in cost of interest-bearing deposits compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020. The cost of borrowings decreased by 43 basis points compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020.

Total Interest Income

For the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, total interest income was $9.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined 27 basis points when compared to the same period in 2020. Total interest income fell for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to a 53 basis point decrease on the average yield on loans.

For the six months ended March 31, 2021, total interest income was $20.1 million, a decrease of $3.3 million or 14.2 percent, from $23.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined 22 basis points when compared to the same period in 2020. Total interest income fell for the six months ended March 31,

2021, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to a 48 basis pointdecrease on the average yield on loans.

Interest Expense

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, interest expense decreased by $2.1 million, or 43.4 percent, to $2.7 million, compared to $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to rate related factors, as the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities fell 75 basis points. This decline is reflected in a 79 basis point decrease in the rate on interest-bearing deposits.

On a linked quarter basis, the annualized average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 22 basis points to 1.08 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, compared to 1.30 percent for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The decrease is reflected in a 23 basis point decrease in the rate on interest-bearing deposits.

Total interest expense decreased by $3.8 million, or 38.4 percent, to $6.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $9.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in interest expense on deposits is primarily attributable to rate related factors. The annualized average rate on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.19 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021, from 1.88 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease primarily reflects a decrease in the average rate of interest-bearing deposits of 0.74 percent and a decrease in the average rate of borrowings of 0.43 percent. The decrease in the average rate of interest-bearing deposits consisted of a 0.77 percent decrease in average rate of other interest-bearing deposit accounts, a 0.72 percent decrease in the average rate of certificates of deposit, and a 0.70 percent decrease in the average rate of money market accounts.

Other Income

Other income increased $203,000, or 21.1 percent, during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase in other income was primarily due to increases of $274,000 in net gains on sale of loans and $79,000 in net gains on sale of investments, partially offset by a decrease of $185,000 in service charges and other fees. The gain on sale of loans was a result of a strategic effort to originate and sell residential loans in this low interest rate environment. The net gain on sale of investments resulted from managing and optimizing portfolio activity in the ordinary course of business. The decrease in service charges and other fees was primarily due to the recognition of approximately $371,000 of net swap fees through the Bank's commercial loan hedging program realized during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, offset by approximately $131,000 in prepayment penalties and $44,000 of PPP loan referral income recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

For the six months ended March 31, 2021, total other income increased $984,000 compared to the same period in 2020. This increase was primarily a result of a $675,000 increase in net gains on sale of loans and a $434,000 increase in net gains on sale of investments, offset by a decrease of $197,000 in service charges and other fees. The decrease in service charges and other fees is primarily due to the recognition of approximately $371,000 less of net swap fees through the Bank's commercial loan hedging program during the six months ended March 31, 2020.

Other Expense

Other expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 increased $425,000, or 9.2 percent, when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases of $382,000 in professional fees associated with legal, accounting, and audit expenses related to the Company's periodic and annual filings. Other increases included $80,000 in federal deposit insurance premium expense due to expiration of credits generated from Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio exceeding the official required reserve ratio in the prior period.

Other expense for the six months ended March 31, 2021 increased $975,000, or 10.8 percent, when compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to increases of $604,000 in professional fees associated with legal, accounting, and audit expenses related to the Company's periodic and annual filings. Other increases included $159,000 in federal deposit insurance premium expense as addressed above and $151,000 in salaries and employee benefits due to normal increases to salary and benefits to support overall franchise growth.

Loans

Total net loans amounted to $974.6 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $1.027 billion at September 30, 2020, for a net decrease of $52.3 million or 5.09 percent for the period. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $12.6 million, or 1.28 percent of total loans, at March 31, 2020 and $12.4 million, or 1.22 percent of total loans excluding PPP loans, at September 30, 2020. Average loan balances for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 totaled $990.9 million as compared to $1.046 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, representing a 5.23 percent decrease.

At the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2021, the gross loan portfolio remained weighted toward two primary components: commercial and the core residential portfolio, with commercial loans accounting for 67.1 percent and single-family residential real estate loans accounting for 22.1 percent. Construction and development loans amounted to 8.1 percent and consumer loans represented 2.7 percent of the gross loan portfolio at such date. The decrease in the gross loan portfolio at March 31, 2020 compared to September 30, 2020 primarily reflected decreases of $16.0 million in commercial loans net of the sale of $19.7 million of PPP loans, $23.9 million in residential mortgage loans, and $4.0 million in consumer loans, which were partially offset by an increase of $11.0 million in construction and development loans.

Asset Quality

Non-accrual loans totaled $22.3 million at March 31, 2021 and $16.7 million at September 30, 2020. The increase in non-accrual loans was primarily due to one $12.9 million commercial real estate loan classified as substandard and non-accruing as of March 31, 2021. This loan was placed on non-accrual during the quarter, and is currently making payments in accordance with the loan's contractual terms, which are being applied 100 percent to reduce the principal balance of the loan.

This increase in non-accrual loans was partially offset by a $6.5 million commercial real estate, TDR loan that was returned to accrual status. The total portfolio of non-accrual loans at March 31, 2021 was comprised of two commercial real estate loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $20.3 million, twelve residential mortgage loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $1.6 million, and eleven consumer loans with an aggregate outstanding balance of approximately $323,000.

At March 31, 2021, NPAs totaled $28.8 million, or 2.39 percent of total assets, as compared with $22.6 million, or 1.87 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2020. The increase in NPAs is due to the increase in non-accrual loans as described above.

OREO totaled $5.8 million at both March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Excluding the $5.8 million of OREO, NPAs totaled $23.0 million, or 1.91 percent of total assets at March 31, 2021, and $16.8 million, or 1.39 percent of total assets at September 30, 2020.

Performing TDRloans were $22.7 million at March 31, 2021 and $13.4 million at September 30, 2020. As noted above, one commercial real estate loan in the amount of $6.5 million was returned to accruing status and as such is now classified as a performing TDR as of the second fiscal quarter of 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company, including, without limitation, plans, strategies and goals, and statements about the Company's expectations regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, loan and deposit growth, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, and shareholder value creation.

Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including recent changes in interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the impact of competition and the acceptance of the Company's products and services by new and existing customers; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations; technological changes; any oversupply of inventory and deterioration in values of real estate in the markets in which the Company operates, both residential and commercial; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters; possible other-than-temporary impairment of securities held by us; the effects of the Company's lack of a widely-diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; and the Company's ability to manage the risk involved in the foregoing. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company's 2020

Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and available at the SEC's Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

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 how the economy may be fully reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we are subject to any of the following risks, any of which could continue to have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to continue to substantially reopen, and high 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 continue to 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; as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board's target federal funds rate to near 0 percent, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our NIM and spread and reducing net income; 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 experiences additional resolution costs.

The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, unless required by law.
