(the "Company") (NasdaqCM: PVBC), the holding company for BankProv (the "Bank"), reported net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 of $2.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income was $5.0 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company's return on average assets was 0.74% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 0.58% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, while the Company reported a loss on average assets of 0.85% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company's return on average equity was 4.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.71% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, while the Company reported a loss on average equity of 5.80% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company's return on average assets was 0.66%, compared to 0.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company's return on average equity was 4.25%, compared to 1.48% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. In announcing these results, Joseph Reilly, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We're pleased to report improvements in earnings during an eventful second quarter of 2025, which included the announcement of our proposed merger with Needham Bank and the sale/leaseback of our Main Office building to the City of Amesbury. We have been very fortunate to have engaged with partners who share our enthusiasm for the opportunities these transactions present to all parties. The City of Amesbury will be a great neighbor to our flagship branch, which will continue to operate out of this historic location. Meanwhile, the merger with NB Bancorp and Needham Bank is currently progressing through the shareholder and regulatory approval process, with closing anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2025. Integration teams from both banks are working diligently to ensure a smooth and seamless transition, and we remain excited about the value this combined franchise can deliver and the opportunities it will create." For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, net interest and dividend income was $13.5 million, an increase of $652,000, or 5.1%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and $1.6 million, or 13.2%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.79% and 3.77%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.62% and 3.65%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and 2.10% and 3.27%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net interest and dividend income was $26.4 million, an increase of $2.0 million, or 8.0%, compared to $24.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were 2.70% and 3.71%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to 2.19%, and 3.33%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increases in net interest income over prior periods reflect the success in its prioritization of reducing its overall cost of funds while maintaining asset yields. Total interest and dividend income was $21.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $720,000, or 3.5%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and a decrease of $572,000, or 2.6%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company's yield on interest earning assets was 5.94% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an increase of ten basis points from 5.84% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and a decrease of five basis points from 5.99% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total interest and dividend income was $41.9 million, a decrease of 2.0 million, or 4.6%, from the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Company's yield on interest-earning assets was 5.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of nine basis points from 5.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the yield on the loan portfolio was 6.09%, an increase of 11 basis points from 5.98% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and a decrease of two basis points compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the yield on the loan portfolio was 6.03%, representing a six basis point reduction from the six months ended June 30, 2024. Total interest expense was $7.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $68,000, or 0.9%, from $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Interest expense on borrowings was $512,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a $176,000, or 52.4%, increase from $336,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to a 100 basis point increase in the cost of borrowings, to 3.83% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 from 2.83% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Interest expense on deposits was $7.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a $108,000, or 1.5%, decrease from $7.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Total interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 21.6%, from $9.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily due to a $2.3 million, or 24.4%, decrease in interest on deposits, primarily due to a 76 basis point reduction in the cost of interest-bearing deposits to 3.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to 3.87% for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company's total cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.15% for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of seven basis points from 3.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and a decrease of 74 basis points from the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Total interest expense decreased $4.0 million, or 20.5%, to $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Interest expense on deposits was $14.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $4.3 million, or 22.8%, from $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a 60 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits, from 3.78% to 3.18% and a decrease in the average balance of deposits, primarily due to a decrease in higher-cost savings accounts obtained through listing services. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, interest expense on borrowings increased $327,000, or 62.8%, primarily due to a $26.0 million, or 106.4%, increase in the average balance of borrowings, partially offset by a 90 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowings. The Company's total cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 3.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 60 basis points from 3.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The significant decrease in interest expense compared to the prior year is a reflection of the Bank's strategic re-balancing of its funding sources. The Company recognized a $378,000 credit loss benefit for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to a $12,000 benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and a $6.5 million credit loss expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized a $390,000 credit loss benefit, compared to a credit loss expense of $877,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The credit loss benefit for the 2025 periods was primarily driven by a reduction in pooled reserves, largely reflecting a decline in total loans, specifically within the enterprise value portfolio, which typically carries a higher reserve rate than other loan categories. This benefit was partially offset by a year-to-date increase of $662,000 in individually analyzed reserves, primarily recorded in the first quarter of 2025. Net recoveries totaled $20,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to net recoveries of $2,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and net charge-offs of $2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Net recoveries totaled $23,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to net charge-offs of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Noninterest income was $2.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and $1.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, noninterest income increased $732,000, or 25.4%, to $3.6 million, from $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, noninterest income included a $745,000 gain on a sale/leaseback transaction for the Bank's main office building. Noninterest expense was $12.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $659,000, or 5.8%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and an increase of $497,000, or 4.3%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increases from prior quarters were primarily attributable to $543,000 of merger-related expenses included in professional fees for the second quarter of 2025, and a loss contingency included in other expenses related to the previously-disclosed Wells Notice received from the SEC. Noninterest expense was $23.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $806,000, or 3.3%, from $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in professional fees of $605,000, or 26.3%, and salaries and employee benefits of $524,000, or 3.4%, partially offset by a $343,000, or 26.2%, increase in other expenses. Merger-related fees included in noninterest expenses were more than offset by improvements in organizational efficiency and the successful reduction of operating costs. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, reflecting an effective tax rate of 30.2%, compared to $665,000, or an effective tax rate of 23.5%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and a tax benefit of $1.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 27.7%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for income tax of $1.9 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 27.4%, compared to $439,000, or an effective tax rate of 20.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in the effective tax rate for the current quarter and year-to-date period is primarily attributable to non-deductible merger-related expenses. Total assets were $1.54 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $13.1 million, or 0.8%, from $1.55 billion at March 31, 2025, and a decrease of $52.3 million, or 3.3%, from $1.59 billion at December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.9 million, or 3.1%, from March 31, 2025, and decreased $40.2 million, or 23.8%, from December 31, 2024. Net loans were $1.29 billion at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $17.7 million, or 1.4%, from March 31, 2025, and a decrease of $12.0 million, or 0.9%, from December 31, 2024. The decreases in net loans from March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were primarily driven by the decreases in enterprise value loans of $16.1 million, or 6.1%, over the prior quarter and $63.4 million, or 20.5%, year-to-date. Since December 31, 2024, the decrease in the loan portfolio, caused by strategic runoff in the enterprise value portfolio, has been partially offset by targeted growth in the commercial real estate portfolio of $21.4 million, or 3.8%, the construction and land development portfolio of $9.3 million, or 33.0%, and the mortgage warehouse portfolio of $25.0 million, or 9.6%. The allowance for credit losses for loans was $20.8 million, or 1.58% of total loans, as of June 30, 2025, compared to $21.2 million, or 1.59% of total loans, as of March 31, 2025, and $21.1 million, or 1.59% of total loans as of December 31, 2024. Non-accrual loans were $34.4 million, or 2.24% of total assets, as of June 30, 2025, compared to $31.4 million, or 2.02% of total assets as of March 31, 2025, and $20.9 million, or 1.31%, as of December 31, 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, the Bank executed a workout transaction on the $10.5 million enterprise value relationship that was placed on non-accrual in the first quarter of 2025. This workout arrangement included a $1.0 million paydown and a $9.5 million extension of credit to a new operator, which will remain on nonaccrual status until consistent performance is demonstrated. Total deposits were $1.26 billion at June 30, 2025, an increase of $73.5 million, or 6.2%, from $1.18 billion at March 31, 2025, and a decrease of $51.0 million, or 3.9%, from $1.31 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase in deposits from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a $36.1 million, or 3.5%, increase in retail deposits and a $40.0 million, or 32.0%, increase in brokered deposits. The decrease in deposits from December 31, 2024 was primarily due to a $42.3 million, or 3.8%, decrease in retail deposits and a $23.5 million, or 49.3%, decrease in listing service deposits, partially offset by a $14.8 million, or 9.9%, increase in brokered deposits. The $42.3 million decrease in retail deposits since December 31, 2024, was primarily attributable to a $37.5 million, or 30.2%, decrease in deposits the Bank has strategically endeavored to reduce. Total borrowings were $34.5 million at June 30, 2025, a decrease of $93.0 million, or 73.0%, from March 31, 2025, and a decrease of $10.1 million, or 22.6%, from December 31, 2024, reflecting improvement in the management of current and anticipated liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2025, shareholders' equity totaled $237.4 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 1.4%, from March 31, 2025, and an increase of $6.3 million, or 2.7%, from December 31, 2024. The increases include the Company's net income, which totaled $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, and $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Shareholders' equity to total assets was 15.4% at June 30, 2025, compared to 15.1% at March 31, 2025 and 14.5% at December 31, 2024. Book value per share was $13.34 at June 30, 2025, an increase from $13.16 at March 31, 2025 and $12.99 at December 31, 2024.
