WESTFIELD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Westfield Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) (NasdaqGS:WFD), the holding
company for Westfield Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $1.6
million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31,
2014, compared to $1.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the
quarter ended March 31, 2013.
The quarter ended March 31, 2014 included a provision for loan losses of
$100,000 as a result of growth in the loan portfolio whereas in the
comparable 2013 quarter, the Company recorded a credit to the provision
for loan losses of $235,000.
Selected financial highlights for first quarter 2014 include:
-
Total loans increased $51.9 million, or 8.7%, at March 31, 2014
compared to March 31, 2013. This was primarily due to increases in
commercial real estate loans of $30.6 million, commercial and
industrial loans of $6.9 million, and residential loans of $14.7
million. On a sequential-quarter basis, total loans increased $10.8
million, or 1.7%, to $648.2 million for the first quarter of 2014.
This was primarily due to increases in commercial real estate loans of
$9.7 million and residential loans of $4.6 million. Commercial and
industrial loans decreased $2.4 million primarily due to the payment
in full of $6.8 million on a relationship which had been on the credit
watch list.
-
Securities declined $89.9 million, or 14.2%, at March 31, 2014,
compared to $631.4 million at March 31, 2013. On a sequential-quarter
basis, securities declined by $12.3 million, or 2.2%, to $541.5
million at March 31, 2014, compared to $553.8 million at December 31,
2013.
-
Net interest and dividend income was $7.7 million for the quarters
ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. On a sequential-quarter
basis, net interest and dividend income increased $48,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $7.6 million for the
quarter ended December 31, 2013.
-
The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased
4 basis points to 2.63%, as compared to 2.59% for the first quarter of
2013. On a sequential-quarter basis, the net interest margin increased
6 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, as compared to
2.57% for the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
-
Noninterest expense was $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
2014, unchanged as compared to the first quarter of 2013 as well as on
a sequential-quarter basis.
President and CEO, James C. Hagan, stated, “We continue to execute our
strategy of restructuring the balance sheet by increasing loans and
decreasing securities. Our emphasis remains on organic growth,
particularly commercial loans, as the primary means of growing our
business and improving shareholder value. In addition, we demonstrated
our continued efforts to manage and control overhead expense. This has
translated into improvements in net interest margin, tangible book value
and the efficiency ratio compared to the prior quarter.”
Income Statement Discussion and Analysis
Net interest and dividend income was relatively unchanged at $7.7
million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The net interest
margin increased 4 basis points to 2.63% for the quarter ended March 31,
2014, compared to 2.59% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The cost
of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 11 basis points,
driven by lower deposit costs, and was partially offset by a decrease of
4 basis points in the yield on average interest-earning assets.
Net gains on sales of securities were $29,000 for the first quarter
2014, compared to $1.4 million the same period in 2013. The 2013 quarter
also included a prepayment expense of $1.4 million associated with the
payoff of long-term debt.
Noninterest expense was stable at $6.5 million for both the quarters
ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The efficiency ratio, excluding non-core
items, was 75.1% for first quarter 2014, compared to 75.5% for the same
period in 2013.
Balance Sheet Discussion
Securities declined by $12.3 million, or 2.2%, to $541.5 million at
March 31, 2014, compared to $553.8 million at December 31, 2013.
Securities declined $89.9 million, or 14.2%, at March 31, 2014, compared
to $631.4 million at March 31, 2013. Cash flow from the securities
portfolio was primarily used to fund loan originations, stock
repurchases and to pay off borrowings.
Total loans increased $51.9 million, or 8.7%, at March 31, 2014 compared
to March 31, 2013. This was primarily due to increases in commercial
real estate loans of $30.6 million, commercial and industrial loans of
$6.9 million, and residential loans of $14.7 million. On a
sequential-quarter basis, total loans increased $10.8 million, or 1.7%,
to $648.2 million for the first quarter 2014. This was primarily due to
increases in commercial real estate loans of $9.7 million and
residential loans of $4.6 million. Commercial and industrial loans
decreased $2.4 million primarily due to the payment in full during the
first quarter 2014 of $6.8 million on a relationship which had been on
the credit watch list.
Total deposits increased $34.5 million, or 4.5%, to $806.7 million at
March 31, 2014, compared to $772.2 million at March 31, 2013. This was
primarily due to increases in money market accounts of $23.4, term
accounts of $12.2 million, and checking accounts of $10.2 million. Total
deposits decreased $10.4 million, or 1.3%, at March 31, 2014, compared
to $817.1 million at December 31, 2013. This was primarily due to an
$18.2 million decrease related to one customer who had a planned use for
the funds. The Bank continues to have an ongoing relationship with this
customer.
Short-term borrowings increased $10.3 million to $58.5 million at March
31, 2014 compared to $48.2 million at December 31, 2013. This was due to
an increase in short-term customer repurchase agreements of $10.3
million to $44.1 million at March 31, 2014. Customer repurchase
agreements serve as a vehicle whereby commercial customers can sweep
money daily into a Bank product and earn an interest rate. This allows
the Bank to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding and build franchise
value by deepening its customer relationships.
Shareholders’ equity was $151.6 million at March 31, 2014 and $154.1
million at December 31, 2013, which represented 11.9% and 12.1% of total
assets, respectively. The decrease in shareholders’ equity during the
quarter reflects the repurchase of 355,926 shares of common stock for
$2.6 million and the payment of a quarterly dividend of $1.1 million.
This was partially offset by net income of $1.6 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2014.
On September 17, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized a stock
repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to 1,037,000
shares, or 5% of its outstanding common stock. As of March 31, 2014, the
Company had repurchased 958,972 shares of its common stock at a cost of
$7.1 million pursuant to this repurchase program, and the Company
subsequently completed this share repurchase program in April 2014.
In addition, on March 13, 2014, the Company announced another repurchase
program under which it may repurchase up to 1,970,000 shares, or 10% of
its outstanding common stock, which commenced upon the completion of the
previous repurchase program.
Credit Quality
The allowance for loan losses was $7.6 million at March 31, 2014, $7.5
million at December 31, 2013 and $7.6 million at March 31, 2013,
representing 1.17%, 1.17% and 1.27% of total loans, respectively. This
represents 244.5%, 288.4% and 255.8% of nonperforming loans at March 31,
2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2014, nonperforming loans increased $509,000
to $3.1 million, representing 0.48% of total loans at March 31, 2014.
The increase was due primarily to one commercial and industrial loan
relationship. Loans delinquent 30 – 89 days were $5.4 million at March
31, 2014 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2013. The increase as of March
31, 2014 was due to one commercial real estate loan of $2.2 million. The
delinquent payment on this loan was made in April 2014. There are no
loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing interest.
Declaration of Quarterly Dividend
The Board of Directors approved the declaration of a quarterly cash
dividend of $0.06 per share. The dividend is payable on May 28, 2014 to
all shareholders of record on May 14, 2014.

(1) Loans, including non-accrual loans, are net of deferred loan
origination costs and unadvanced funds.
(2) Securities, loan income and net interest income are presented on a
tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of 34%. The tax-equivalent
adjustment is deducted from tax-equivalent net interest and dividend
income to agree to the amount reported on the statements of income.
(3) Short-term investments include federal funds sold.
(4) Net interest rate spread represents the difference between the
weighted average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(5) Net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest and
dividend income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
