Provident Bancorp, Inc. Ranks in Top 30 List Nationally

Dave Mansfield, President and CEO of Provident Bancorp, Inc (NASDAQ: PVBC), is pleased to announce its ranking in the top 30 nationally by Sandler O’Neill Sm-All Stars: Class of 2018. This ranking identifies the top performing small-cap banks and thrifts in the country in an effort to uncover the next crop of stellar mid-cap banks before they are discovered by the rest of the world.

“After only three years as a partially-traded public company, it is quite an achievement to be recognized as one of the highest performing institutions in the country,” stated Mansfield. “By staying true to our focus on commercial lending with a high-level of service, we’ve grown our commercial and industrial loan portfolio 32% annually and 45% last year. Inclusion in Sandler’s Sm-All Star list further validates our standing as THE Commercial Bank in the communities we serve, and I’m very proud of what The Provident has accomplished in such a short time.”

Sandler O’Neill + Partners, L.P. is an investment banking firm and broker-dealer focused on the financial services sector. To earn Sm-All Star status, companies needed to have a market cap below $2.5 billion and clear numerous hurdles related to growth, profitability, credit quality and capital strength. Of the 401 institutions that were evaluated, only 30 made the Sm-All Star Class list.

According to the report released by Sandlier O’Neill, “the performance metrics of the 30 institutions are outstanding, with the Class of 2018 delivering bottom line results that are markedly better than the industry as a whole.”
