Members of the Boards of Trustees and Directors:

 

We have completed and hereby provide an updated appraisal of the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock which is to be issued in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion described below.

 

This Appraisal is furnished pursuant to the requirements stipulated in the Code of Federal Regulations and has been prepared in accordance with the “Guidelines for Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization” of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and accepted by the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks (the “Commissioner”), and applicable regulatory interpretations thereof. Our original appraisal report, dated February 8, 2019 (the “Original Appraisal”), is incorporated herein by reference. As in the preparation of our Original Appraisal, we believe the data and information used herein is reliable; however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.

 

On March 5, 2019, the Board of Trustees of HarborOne Mutual Bancshares (the “MHC”) and the Board of Directors of HarborOne Bancorp, Inc. (“HONE”) and HarborOne Bank adopted a plan of conversion whereby the MHC will convert to stock form. As a result of the conversion, HONE, which currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common stock of HarborOne Bank, Brockton, Massachusetts (the “Bank”), will be succeed by a Massachusetts corporation with the name of HarborOne Bancorp, Inc. (“HarborOne Bancorp” or the “Company”). Following the conversion, the MHC will no longer exist. For purposes of this document, the existing consolidated entity will hereinafter also be referred to as HarborOne Bancorp or the Company, unless otherwise identified as HONE. As of March 31, 2019, the MHC had a majority ownership interest in, and its principal asset consisted of, approximately 53.07% of the common stock (the “MHC Shares”) of HONE. The remaining 46.93% of HONE’s common stock is owned by public stockholders.

 

It is our understanding that HarborOne Bancorp will offer its stock, representing the majority ownership interest held by the MHC, in a subscription offering to Eligible Account Holders, Tax-Qualified Employee Benefit Plans including the Bank’s employee savings and stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), Supplemental Eligible Account Holders and Employees, Officers, Directors, Trustees and Corporators, as such terms are defined for purposes of applicable federal regulatory requirements governing mutual-to-stock conversions. To the extent shares remain available for purchase after satisfaction of all subscriptions received in the

subscription offering, the shares may be offered for sale to the public at large in a community offering and a syndicated offering or firm commitment underwritten offering. Upon completing the mutual-to-stock conversion and stock offering (the “second-step conversion”), the Company will be 100% owned by public shareholders, the publicly-held shares of HONE will be exchanged for shares in the Company at a ratio that retains their ownership interest at the time the conversion is completed and the MHC assets will be consolidated with the Company.

 

This updated appraisal reflects the following noteworthy items: (1) a review of recent developments in HarborOne Bancorp’s financial condition, including financial data through March 31, 2019; (2) an updated comparison of HarborOne Bancorp’s financial condition and operating results versus the Peer Group companies identified in the Original Appraisal; and (3) a review of stock market conditions since the date of the Original Appraisal.

 

The estimated pro forma market value is defined as the price at which HarborOne Bancorp’s common stock, immediately upon completion of the second-step offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable knowledge of relevant facts.

 

Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the common stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares of common stock in the conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the pro forma market value thereof. RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits the company, its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.

 

Discussion of Relevant Considerations

 

1.              Financial Results

 

Table 1 presents summary balance sheet and income statement details for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and updated financial information through March 31, 2019. HarborOne Bancorp’s assets increased by $2.9 million or 0.08% from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019, as growth of net loans receivable was largely offset by decreases in cash and investments and loans held for sale. Overall, cash and investments (inclusive of FHLB stock) decreased from $384.5 million or 10.52% of assets at December 31, 2018 to $378.8 million or 10.36% of assets at March 31, 2019. Loans receivable increased from $2.965 billion or 81.16% of assets at December 31, 2018 to $2.979 billion or 81.49% of assets at March 31, 2019. Loans held for sale decreased from $42.1 million or 1.15% of assets at December 31, 2018 to $32.4 million or 0.89% of assets at March 31, 2019. The balances for bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and goodwill/other intangible assets were respectively slightly higher and lower at March 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018.

Updated credit quality measures showed a slight increase in non-performing assets during the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which was primarily due to an increase in non-accruing commercial business loans. HarborOne Bancorp’s non-performing assets increased from $18.5 million or 0.51% of assets at December 31, 2018 to $19.3 million or 0.53% of assets at March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, non-performing assets consisted of $18.3 million of non-accruing loans and $983,000 of other real estate owned and repossessed assets.

 

Asset growth during the quarter ended March 31, 2019 was primarily funded by deposit growth, which also funded a reduction in borrowings. Deposits increased from $2.685 billion or 73.50% of assets at December 31, 2018 to $2.837 billion or 77.59% of assets at March 31, 2019, which was primarily due to growth of transaction and savings account deposits. Borrowings decreased from $553.7 million or 15.16% of assets at December 31,2018 to $389.7 million or 10.66% of assets at March 31, 2019, as the Company paid down a portion of its short-term FHLB advances. HarborOne Bancorp’s equity increased from $357.6 million or 9.79% of assets at December 31, 2018 to $363.4 million or 9.94% of assets at March 31, 2019 and tangible equity increased from $279.1 million or 7.64% of assets at December 31, 2018 to $286.1 million or 7.82% of assets at March 31, 2019. The increase in capital was due to retention of earnings and the balance of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) going from a loss of $2.4 million at December 31, 2018 to income of $130,000 at March 31, 2019.

 

HarborOne Bancorp’s operating results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 are also set forth in Table 1. The Company’s reported earnings decreased from $11.4 million or 0.39% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to $11.2 million or 0.36% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decline in mortgage banking income and an increase in operating expenses, which were largely offset by increases in net interest income and other non-interest operating income as well as a decrease in merger expenses.

 

HarborOne Bancorp’s net interest income increased from $88.9 million or 3.04% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to $94.8 million or 3.00% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in net interest income was due to a more significant increase in interest income compared to interest expense. The increases in interest income and interest expense were in a large part related to the increases in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as the result of the acquisition of Coastway Bancorp, Inc. (“Coastway Bancorp”), which was completed on October 5, 2018. Additionally, a higher yield earned on interest-earning assets and a high cost of funds contributed to in the increases in interest income and interest expense during the most recent twelve month period, which was also in part related to the acquisition of Coastway Bancorp’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Operating expenses increased from $115.0 million or 3.93% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to $120.5 million or 3.82% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. Operating expenses resulting from the acquisition of Coastway Bancorp accounted for most of the increase in the Company’s updated operating expenses. Expenses related to the new branch opened in Stoughton and the commercial loan office added in Boston also contributed to the increase in the Company’s updated operating expenses. Overall, HarborOne Bancorp’s updated ratios for net interest

income and operating expenses provided for a slight increase in the expense coverage ratio (net interest income divided by operating expenses) from 0.77x for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to 0.79x for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019.

 

Non-interest operating income (inclusive of mortgage banking income) was lower during the most recent twelve month period, decreasing from $49.2 million or 1.69% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to $47.7 million or 1.51% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in non-interest operating income was due to a decrease in mortgage banking income, as the result of lower mortgage originations and a decrease in the fair value of mortgage servicing rights for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Partially offsetting the decrease in mortgage banking income was an increase in other non-interest operating income, which was mostly due to an increase in deposit account fee income realized from the acquisition of Coastway Bancorp. Overall, when factoring non-interest operating income into core earnings, the Company’s updated efficiency ratio of 84.70% (operating expenses as a percent of net interest income and non-interest operating income) was slightly less favorable compared to the 83.09% efficiency ratio recorded for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

 

Slightly higher loan loss provisions were established during the most recent twelve period, increasing from $3.8 million or 0.13% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to $3.9 million or 0.12% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, the Company maintained an allowance for loan losses of $21.3 million equal to 116.40% of non-performing loans.

 

Updated non-operating income and losses showed a decline in merger expenses from $5.1 million or 0.17% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to $4.6 million or 0.14% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, while gains on the sale of securities equaled $5,000 for both twelve month periods shown in Table 1.

 

The income tax expense decreased from $2.8 million or 0.10% of average assets for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to $2.4 million or 0.07% of average assets for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax income.

 

2.                                      Peer Group Financial Comparisons

 

Tables 2 and 3 present the financial characteristics and operating results for HarborOne Bancorp, the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts. The Company’s and the Peer Group’s ratios are based on financial results through March 31, 2019, unless indicated otherwise for the Peer Group companies.

 

In general, the comparative balance sheet ratios for the Company and the Peer Group did not vary significantly from the ratios exhibited in the Original Appraisal. Consistent with the Original Appraisal, the Company’s updated interest-earning asset composition reflected a lower concentration of cash and investments and a higher concentration of loans. Overall, the Company’s and the Peer Group’s updated interest-earning assets-to-assets ratios equaled 92.74% and 94.39%, respectively.

HarborOne Bancorp’s updated funding composition continued to show a higher concentration of deposits and a lower concentration of borrowings relative to the comparable Peer Group ratios. Updated interest-bearing liabilities-to-assets ratios equaled 88.25% and 85.86% for the Company and the Peer Group, respectively. HarborOne Bancorp’s updated tangible equity-to-assets ratio equaled 7.82%, which remained below the comparable Peer Group ratio of 11.70%. Overall, HarborOne Bancorp’s updated interest-earning assets-to-interest-bearing liabilities (“IEA/IBL”) ratio equaled 105.09%, which remained below the comparable Peer Group ratio of 109.93%. As discussed in the Original Appraisal, the additional capital realized from stock proceeds should serve to increase HarborOne Bancorp’s lEA/IBL ratio to a ratio that is more comparable to the Peer Group’s ratio, as the level of interest-bearing liabilities funding assets will be lower due to the increase in capital realized from the offering and the net proceeds realized from the offering will be primarily deployed into interest-earning assets.

 

Updated growth rates for HarborOne Bancorp and the Peer Group are based on annual growth rates for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. Updated growth rates for HarborOne Bancorp and the Peer Group continued to be impacted by acquisition related growth, as the result of HarborOne Bancorp’s acquisition of Coastway Bancorp and an acquisition completed by Kearny Financial Corp. HarborOne Bancorp recorded a 33.65% increase in assets, which was primarily realized through a 33.95% increase in loans and was supplemented with an 8.49% increase in cash and investments. Comparatively, asset growth for the Peer Group equaled 8.09%, which was primarily sustained by an 8.01% increase in loans and was supplemented with an 8.16% increase in cash and investments.

 

On the funding side of the balance sheet, asset growth for HarborOne Bancorp was funded by a 33.35% increase in deposits and a 72.18% increase in borrowings. Comparatively, asset growth for the Peer Group was funded by a 9.63% increase in deposits and a 4.54% increase in borrowings. HarborOne Bancorp’s updated tangible net worth growth rate showed a decrease of 13.62%, versus an increase of 2.63% for the Peer Group. The decrease in the Company’s tangible capital continued to be due to the goodwill and intangibles created by the acquisition of Coastway Bancorp. As noted in the Original Appraisal, the Company’s post-conversion capital growth rate will initially be constrained by maintenance of a higher pro forma capital position. Dividend payments and stock repurchases, pursuant to regulatory limitations and guidelines, could also potentially slow the Company’s capital growth rate in the longer term following the stock offering.

 

Table 3 displays comparative operating results for HarborOne Bancorp and the Peer Group, based on the Company’s and the Peer Group’s earnings for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. HarborOne Bancorp and the Peer Group reported net income to average assets ratios of 0.36% and 1.03%, respectively. Lower ratios for operating expenses, loan loss provisions and non-operating losses continued to represent earnings advantages for the Peer Group, which were partially offset by earnings advantages maintained by the Company with respect to higher ratios for net interest income and non-interest operating income.

 

In terms of core earnings strength, updated expense coverage ratios posted by HarborOne Bancorp and the Peer Group equaled 0.79x and 1.19x, respectively. The Peer Group’s higher expense coverage continued to be supported by a lower operating expense ratio, which was partially offset by the Company’s higher net interest income ratio. The

Company’s higher net interest income ratio was realized through maintenance of a higher interest income ratio, which was partially offset by the Peer Group’s slightly lower interest expense ratio.

 

Non-interest operating income remained a larger contributor to the Company’s earnings, as such income amounted to 1.51% and 0.95% of the Company’s and the Peer Group’s average assets, respectively. Accordingly, taking non-interest operating income into account, the Company’s updated efficiency ratio of 84.70% remained higher or less favorable than the Peer Group’s efficiency ratio of 62.47%.

 

Loan loss provisions were a slightly more significant factor in the Company’s updated earnings, with loan loss provisions established by the Company and the Peer Group equaling 0.12% and 0.05% of average assets, respectively.

 

The Company’s updated earnings showed a net non-operating loss of 0.14% of average assets, which continued to be attributable to non-recurring merger expenses. Comparatively, the Peer Group reported a net non-operating loss equal to 0.01% of average assets. As set forth in the Original Appraisal, typically such gains and losses are discounted in the valuation analyses as they tend to have a relatively high degree of volatility, and, thus, are not considered part of core operations. Extraordinary items remained a non-factor in the Company’s and the Peer Group’s updated earnings.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate of 17.36% was slightly lower than the Peer Group’s effective tax rate of 22.23%. As set forth in the prospectus, the Company’s effective marginal tax rate is equal to 27.0%.

 

The Company’s updated credit quality measures generally implied a slightly greater degree of credit risk exposure, relative to the Peer Group’s implied credit risk exposure. As shown in Table 4, the Company’s ratios for non-performing/assets and non-performing loans/loans equaled 1.02% and 1.21%, respectively, versus comparable measures of 0.59% and 0.68% for the Peer Group. As noted in the Original Appraisal, the measures for nonperforming assets/assets and non-performing loans/loans include accruing loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings, which accounted for approximately 48% of the Company’s non-performing assets at March 31, 2019. After excluding performing troubled debt restructurings from non-performing assets, the Company’s and the Peer Group’s nonperforming assets as a percent of assets equaled 0.53% and 0.45%, respectively. The Company’s and the Peer Group’s loss reserves as a percent of non-performing loans equaled 58.57% and 153.14%, respectively. Loss reserves maintained as percent of loans receivable equaled 0.71% for the Company, versus 0.85% for the Peer Group. Net loan charge-offs were a slightly more significant factor for the Company, as net loan charge-offs as a percent of loans equaled 0.05% for the Company and 0.03% for the Peer Group.

 

3.                                      Stock Market Conditions

 

Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the performance of the broader stock market has generally been positive. Stocks rebounded in the second half of February, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average (“DJIA”) and S&P 500 closed out February with their best two-month start to a year in almost three decades. Factors contributing to the stock market rally

included renewed optimism on U.S.-China trade negotiations, the President and Congress reaching a border security agreement to avert another government shutdown and the Federal Reserve signaling that it was taking a pause to further rate increases. Worries about a slowing global economy and weaker-than-expected job growth reported for February contributed to a pullback in the stock market in the first week of March, which was followed by a technology led rebound in the stock market going into mid-March. The outcome of the Federal Reserve’s March meeting lifted stocks heading into the close of the first quarter, as investors moved into riskier assets on indications that the Federal Reserve would hold interest rates steady for the rest of 2019. After a one day sell-off on concerns of slowing global growth, stocks closed out the first quarter trading higher on optimism about U.S.-China trade talks and the Federal Reserve’s signal to halt further interest rate increases.

 

The upward trend in stocks continued into the first week of April 2019, which was supported by some upbeat economic data reported by Europe and China and a favorable U.S. jobs report for March. U.S. trade tensions with Europe contributed to a pullback in the stock market heading into mid-April, which was followed by an uneven trading market going into the second half of April. Investors reacting to first quarter earnings reports and ongoing concerns about the health of the world economy were among the factors that provided for an up and down market in the second half of April. A strong GDP report for the first quarter of 2019 helped to lift stocks at the end of April, with major stock indexes recording their best four-month start to a year since at least 1999. Stocks fell at the start of May after the Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged and reiterated that it would remain patient on moving its target rate. A strong jobs report for April helped stocks to rebound to close out the first trading week of May. Aided by some stronger-than-expected earnings reports from Cisco Systems and Walmart, stocks rebounded going into the second half of May. On May 17, 2019, the DJIA closed at 25764.00 or 2.62% higher since the date of the Original Appraisal and the NASDAQ closed at 7816.28 or 7.10% higher since the date of the Original Appraisal.

 

The market for thrift stocks has been mixed since the date of the Original Appraisal, as thrift issues did not match the performance of the broader stock market.  News that another government shut had been averted contributed to a positive trend in thrift shares going into the second half of February 2019. After stabilizing in last week of February, thrift shares retreated during the first half of March. Weak job growth reflected in the February employment report and a flattening yield curve were factors that contributed to the downturn in thrift stocks. Thrift shares traded sharply lower following the Federal Reserve’s March 20th policy meeting, as signals from the Federal Reserve that they would not raise rates for the remainder of 2019 elevated concerns of a slowing U.S. economy. Thrift shares were also pressured lower by the inversion of the 10-year Treasury yield relative to the 3-month Treasury yield. Following the sell-off, financial shares led a rebound in the broader stock market at the close of the first quarter.

 

The upward trend in thrift stocks continued during the first half of April 2019, which was supported by the strong job growth reflected in the March employment report and mild inflation data. Thrift shares retreated slightly going into late-April, as investors reacted to first quarter earnings reports and the prospect of interest rate spreads coming under further pressure as the result of higher funding costs and a slowdown in loan growth. Low inflation data and stronger-than-expected first quarter GDP growth boosted thrift shares at the close of April, which was followed by a pullback in thrift stocks at the start of May as the Federal Reserve concluded its

 

11


 

policy meeting leaving interest rates unchanged and indicated that it would not move to cut rates in the near future despite recent low inflation data. Thrift shares traded higher on the strong jobs report for April and then followed the broader stock market lower in the second week of May. Ongoing concerns of weakening loan demand and the flat yield curve continued to pressure thrift shares lower going in the second half of May. On May 17, 2019, the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 838.0, a decrease of 3.07% since February 8, 2019.

 

Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group were also down slightly. Comparatively, the updated pricing measures for all publicly-traded thrifts generally reflected slightly more significant decreases compared to the Peer Group’s updated pricing measures. Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the stock prices of six out of the ten Peer Group companies were lower as of May 17, 2019. A comparative pricing analysis of the Peer Group and all publicly-traded thrifts is shown in the following table, based on closing stock market prices as of February 8, 2019 and May 17, 2019.

As set forth in the Original Appraisal, the “new issue” market is separate and distinct from the market for seasoned issues like the Peer Group companies in that the pricing ratios for converting issues are computed on a pro forma basis, specifically: (1) the numerator and denominator are both impacted by the conversion offering amount, unlike existing stock issues in which price change affects only the numerator; and (2) the pro forma pricing ratio incorporates assumptions regarding source and use of proceeds, effective tax rates, stock plan purchases, etc. which impact pro forma financials, whereas pricing for existing issues are based on reported financials. The distinction between the pricing of converting and existing issues is perhaps most evident in the case of the price/book (“P/B”) ratio in that the P/B ratio of a converting thrift will typically result in a discount to book value, whereas in the current market for existing thrifts the P/B ratio may reflect a premium to book value. Therefore, it is appropriate to

also consider the market for new issues, both at the time of the conversion and in the aftermarket.

 

As shown in Table 5, one first-step mutual holding company offering has been completed during the past three months and no standard conversions or second-step conversions have been completed during the past three months. The most recent second-step conversion offering was completed by Mid-Southern Bancorp of Indiana, which was completed in July 2018. Mid-Southern Bancorp’s offering was significantly smaller in comparison to HarborOne Bancorp’s proposed second-step offering. Mid-Southern Bancorp’s second-step offering was closed at the top of its offerings range at a closing pro forma price/tangible book ratio of 77.5% and the stock was up 25.7% after the first week of trading. As of May 17, 2019, Mid-Southern Bancorp’s stock price was up 26.5% from its IPO price.

 

As set forth in the Original Appraisal, RP Financial’s analysis of stock market conditions also considered recent trading activity in HarborOne Bancorp’s stock. Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the trading price of the Company’s stock ranged from a low closing price of $15.62 on February 11, 2019 to a high closing price of $18.84 most recently on May 10, 2019. As of May 17, 2019, the Company’s closing stock price was $18.50 per share which equaled a 20.68% increase from HarborOne Bancorp’s closing stock price of $15.33 per share as of the February 8, 2019 date of the Original Appraisal.

 

Summary of Adjustments

The factors concerning the valuation parameters of primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the shares, management and effect of government regulations and regulatory reform did not change since the Original Appraisal. Accordingly, those parameters were not discussed further in this update.

 

In terms of balance sheet strength, on a pro forma basis the Company’s updated financial condition continued to warrant no adjustment, as the Company’s slightly less favorable credit quality continued to be offset by the Company’s slightly stronger pro forma capital position as a percent of assets. A moderate downward adjustment remained appropriate for earnings,

as the Company’s reported and core earnings remained less favorable compared to the Peer Group’s reported and core earnings. A slight upward adjustment remained appropriate for the Company’s asset growth, based on the Company’s stronger historical asset growth and the Company’s slightly greater pro forma leverage capacity.

 

The general market for thrift stocks was down slightly the date of the Original Appraisal, with the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts decreasing 3.07% since the date of the Original Appraisal compared to an increase of 2.62% in the DJIA. Comparatively, since the date of the Original Appraisal, the updated pricing measures for the Peer Group generally showed slight decreases that were generally slightly less than the decrease in the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts. HarborOne Bancorp’s stock price was up 20.68% since the date of the Original Appraisal and the $18.50 closing price on May 17, 2019 was slightly above the maximum of the offering range as set forth in the Original Appraisal.

 

Valuation Approaches

 

In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the regulatory agencies, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing ratios in valuing HarborOne Bancorp’s to-be-issued stock — price/earnings (“P/E”), price/book (“P/B”), and price/assets (“P/A”) approaches — all performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds.

 

In computing the pro forma impact of the offering and the related pricing ratios, the valuation parameters utilized in the Original Appraisal were updated with HarborOne Bancorp’s financial data as of March 31, 2019.

 

Consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal continues to be based primarily on fundamental analysis techniques applied to the Peer Group, including the P/E approach, the P/B approach and the P/A approach. Also consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal incorporates a “technical” analysis of recently completed offerings, including principally the P/B approach which (as discussed in the Original Appraisal) is the most meaningful pricing ratio as the pro forma P/E ratios reflect an assumed reinvestment rate and do not yet reflect the actual use of proceeds.

 

RP Financial also considered the trading price of HarborOne Bancorp’s stock, which had a closing price of $18.50 as of May 17, 2019, an increase of 20.68% from its closing price as of February 8, 2019. The $18.50 closing trading price implied a pro forma market capitalization for HarborOne Bancorp of approximately $602.4 million, which is slightly above the maximum of the valuation range as set forth in the Original Appraisal.

 

The Company has adopted “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans” (“ASC 718-40”), which causes earnings per share computations to be based on shares issued and outstanding excluding unreleased ESOP shares. For purposes of preparing the pro forma pricing analyses, we have reflected all shares issued in the offering, including all ESOP shares, to capture the full dilutive impact, particularly since the ESOP shares are economically dilutive, receive dividends and can be voted. However, we did consider the impact of ASC 718-40 in the valuation.

In preparing the pro forma pricing analysis we have taken into account the pro forma impact of the MHC’s net assets (i.e., unconsolidated equity) that will be consolidated with the Company and thus will slightly increase equity. At March 31, 2019, the MHC had net assets of $99,000, which has been added to the Company’s March 31, 2019 equity to reflect the consolidation of the MHC into the Company’s operations. Exhibit 4 shows that after accounting for the impact of the MHC’s net assets, the public shareholders’ ownership interest was reduced by approximately 0.01%. Accordingly, for purposes of the Company’s pro forma valuation, the public shareholders’ ownership interest was reduced from 46.93% to 46.92% and the MHC’s ownership interest was increased from 53.07% to 53.08%.

 

Based on the application of the three valuation approaches, taking into consideration the valuation adjustments discussed above, RP Financial concluded that as of May 17, 2019, the aggregate pro forma market value of HarborOne Bancorp’s conversion stock equaled $508,634,150 at the midpoint, equal to 50,863,415 shares at $10.00 per share. The $10.00 per share price was determined by the HarborOne Bancorp Board. The midpoint and resulting valuation range is based on the sale of a 53.08% ownership interest to the public, which provides for a $270,000,000 public offering at the midpoint value.

 

1.                                      Price-to-Earnings (“P/E”). The application of the P/E valuation method requires calculating the Company’s pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/E multiple to the pro forma earnings base. In applying this technique, we considered both reported earnings and a recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any one-time non-operating items, plus the estimated after-tax earnings benefit of the reinvestment of the net proceeds. The Company’s reported earnings equaled $11.209 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019. In deriving HarborOne Bancorp’s core earnings, the adjustments made to reported earnings were to eliminate net gains on the sale of investment securities equal to $5,000 and merger expenses related to the acquisition of Coastway Bancorp equal to $4.606 million. As shown below, assuming an effective marginal tax rate of 27.0% for the earnings adjustments, the Company’s core earnings were estimated to equal $14.567 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019.

Based on HarborOne Bancorp’s reported and estimated core earnings, and incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions discussed previously, the Company’s reported and core P/E multiples at the $508.6 million updated midpoint value equaled 44.60 times and 34.45 times, respectively. The Company’s updated reported and core P/E multiples provided for premiums of 176.33% and 119.15% relative to the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples of 16.14 times and 15.72 times, respectively (versus premiums of

154.43% and 96.41% relative to the Peer Group’s average reported and core P/E multiples as indicated in the Original Appraisal). The Company’s updated reported and core P/E multiples at the updated midpoint value indicated premiums of 204.64% and 139.57% relative to the Peer Group’s median reported and core P/E multiples, which equaled 14.64 times and 14.38 times, respectively (versus premiums of 186.17% and 120.73% relative to the Peer Group’s median reported and core P/E multiples as indicated in the Original Appraisal). The Company’s pro forma P/E ratios based on reported earnings at the minimum and the maximum equaled 37.64x and 51.65x, respectively, and based on core earnings at the minimum and the maximum equaled 29.13x and 39.84x, respectively. The Company’s implied conversion pricing ratios relative to the Peer Group’s pricing ratios are indicated in Table 6, and the pro forma calculations are detailed in Exhibits 2 and 3.

 

2.                                      P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark in the valuation of thrift stocks, with the greater determinant of long term value being earnings. In applying the P/B approach, we considered both reported book value and tangible book value. Based on the $508.6 million updated midpoint value, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios equaled 85.18% and 97.85%, respectively. In comparison to the average P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 121.70% and 133.20%, respectively, HarborOne Bancorp’s updated ratios reflected a discount of 30.01% on a P/B basis and a discount of 26.54% on a P/TB basis (versus discounts of 30.36% and 26.50% from the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios as indicated in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the median P/B and P/TB ratios indicated for the Peer Group of 117.64% and 126.30%, respectively, HarborOne Bancorp’s updated ratios at the $508.6 million updated midpoint value reflected discounts of 27.59% and 22.53% (versus discounts of 27.17% and 22.36% from the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios as indicated in the Original Appraisal). At the maximum of the range, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios equaled 92.51% and 105.37%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the maximum of the range reflected discounts of 23.99% and 20.89%, respectively. In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/B and P/TB ratios, the Company’s P/B and P/TB ratios at the maximum of the range reflected discounts of 21.36% and 16.57%, respectively. RP Financial considered the discounts under the P/B approach to be reasonable, given the nature of the calculation of the P/B ratio which tends to mathematically result in a ratio discounted to book value. The discounts reflected under the P/B approach were also supported by the significant premiums reflected in the Company’s P/E multiples.

 

3.              P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally not as a reliable indicator of market value, as investors do not place significant weight on total assets as a determinant of market value. Investors place significantly greater weight on book value and earnings — which have received greater weight in our valuation analysis. At the $508.6 million updated midpoint value HarborOne Bancorp’s pro forma P/A ratio equaled 13.08%. In comparison to the Peer Group’s average P/A ratio of 15.55%, HarborOne Bancorp’s P/A ratio indicated a discount of 15.88% (versus a discount of 17.78% at the midpoint valuation in the Original Appraisal). In comparison to the Peer Group’s median P/A ratio of 15.48%, HarborOne Bancorp’s P/A ratio at the $508.6 million updated midpoint value indicated a discount of 15.50% (versus a discount of 18.29% at the midpoint valuation in the Original Appraisal).

Comparison to Recent Offerings

 

As discussed previously, the most recently completed second-step offering was Mid-Southern Bancorp, Inc. of Indiana, which was completed in July 2018. Mid-Southern Bancorp’s forma price/tangible book ratio at closing equaled 77.50%. In comparison, the Company’s pro forma price/tangible book ratio at the midpoint value reflects an implied premium of 26.26%. It should be noted that Mid-Southern Bancorp’s second-step offering of $25.6 million was significantly smaller than HarborOne Bancorp’s midpoint second-step offering of $270.0 million.

 

Valuation Conclusion

 

Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of May 17, 2019, the estimated aggregate pro forma valuation of the shares of the Company to be issued and outstanding at the end of the conversion offering — including (1) newly-issued shares representing the MHC’s current ownership interest in the Company and (2) exchange shares issued to existing public shareholders of the Company - was $508,634,150 at the midpoint, equal to 50,863,415 shares at a per share value of $10.00. The resulting range of value and pro forma shares, all based on $10.00 per share, are as follows:

Establishment of the Exchange Ratio

 

Conversion regulations provide that in a conversion of a mutual holding company, the minority shareholders are entitled to exchange the public shares for newly issued shares in the fully converted company. The Boards of Trustees of the MHC and the Board of Directors of HONE and the Bank have independently determined the exchange ratio, which has been designed to preserve the current aggregate percentage ownership in the Company (adjusted for the dilution resulting from the consolidation of the MHC’s unconsolidated equity into the Company). The exchange ratio to be received by the existing minority shareholders of the Company will be determined at the end of the offering, based on the total number of shares sold in the second-step conversion offering and the final appraisal. Based on the valuation conclusion herein, the resulting offering value and the $10.00 per share offering price, the indicated exchange ratio at the midpoint is 1.5618 shares of the Company’s stock for every one public share held by public shareholders. Furthermore, based on the offering range of value, the indicated exchange ratio is 1.3276 at the minimum and 1.7961 at the maximum. RP Financial expresses no opinion on the proposed exchange of newly issued Company shares for the shares held by the public shareholders or on the proposed exchange ratio.
