PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS
REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS


Loans Held for Investment Increase 6% or $83.8 Million

Preferred Loans Increase to 38% of Loans Held for Investment

        Riverside, Calif. - January 23, 2007 - Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Company"), NASDAQ GSM: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), today announced second quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.
        For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the Company reported net income of $1.50 million, or $0.22 per diluted share (on 6.65 million weighted-average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $8.38 million, or $1.23 per diluted share (on 6.84 million weighted-average shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease in weighted-average shares outstanding primarily reflects repurchases of stock through the Company's stock repurchase program. The substantial decline in net income in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 was primarily attributable to the specific loan loss reserve of $2.46 million (approximately $1.43 million after statutory taxes) on 23 individual construction loans (previously announced on December 1, 2006) and the gain on sale of real estate of $6.28 million (approximately $3.64 million net of statutory


Page 1 of 15

<PAGE>

taxes) recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 (not replicated in the second quarter of fiscal 2007).
        "We continue to grow our community banking business, primarily through preferred loans, although the environment is challenging with very aggressive deposit pricing and the slightly inverted yield curve," said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Additionally, our mortgage banking business model continues to change in response to the highly competitive market."
        Mr. Blunden went on to say, "I am disappointed with our financial results this quarter and particularly concerned with the rise in non-performing assets, although I have no reason to believe that the increase experienced is indicative of what we should expect in future periods. I have every confidence that we can improve on these results despite the challenging environment."
        Return on average assets for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was 0.35 percent, compared to 2.13 percent for the same period of fiscal 2006. Return on average stockholders' equity for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was 4.40 percent, compared to 26.12 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2006.
        On a sequential quarter basis, net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased by $3.76 million, or 72 percent, to $1.50 million from $5.26 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007; and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.55, or 71 percent, to $0.22 from $0.77 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Return on average assets decreased 93 basis points to 0.35 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 1.28 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and return on average equity for the second quarter of


Page 2 of 15

<PAGE>

fiscal 2007 was 4.40 percent, compared to 15.25 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
        For the six months ended December 31, 2006, net income was $6.75 million, a decrease of 49 percent from net income of $13.32 million for the comparable period ended December 31, 2005; and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2006 decreased $0.93, or 48 percent, to $1.00 from $1.93 for the comparable period last year. Return on average assets for the six months ended December 31, 2006 decreased 87 basis points to 0.80 percent from 1.67 percent for the six-month period a year earlier. Return on average stockholders' equity for the six months ended December 31, 2006 was 9.87 percent, compared to 21.01 percent for the six-month period a year earlier.
        Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $463,000, or four percent, to $10.50 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $10.97 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. Non-interest income decreased $7.14 million, or 63 percent, to $4.27 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $11.41 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2006. Non-interest expense increased $472,000, or six percent, to $8.24 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $7.77 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2006.
        The average balance of loans outstanding increased by $170.4 million to $1.45 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $1.28 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2006, and the average yield increased by 41 basis points to 6.36 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from an average yield of 5.95 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to higher interest


Page 3 of 15

<PAGE>

rates on newly originated loans and the repricing of existing adjustable rate loans in the loans held for investment portfolio, partly offset by a $260,000 interest income reversal resulting from loans placed on non-accrual status during the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Total loans originated for investment (including $52.7 million of loans purchased for investment) in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $170.3 million, which consisted primarily of single-family, multi-family and commercial real estate. This compares to total loans originated for investment (including $5.7 million of loans purchased for investment) of $150.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The outstanding balance of "preferred loans" (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) increased by $203.3 million, or 62 percent, to $533.2 million at December 31, 2006 from $329.9 million at December 31, 2005. The ratio of preferred loans to total loans held for investment increased to 38 percent at December 31, 2006 compared to 28 percent at December 31, 2005. Loan prepayments in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 were $100.1 million, compared to $124.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2006.
        Average deposits decreased by $38.0 million to $917.4 million and the average cost of deposits increased by 96 basis points to 3.23 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to an average balance of $955.4 million and an average cost of 2.27 percent in the same quarter last year. Transaction account balances (core deposits) decreased by $88.3 million, or 20 percent, to $357.1 million at December 31, 2006 from $445.4 million at December 31, 2005. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $66.0 million, or 29 percent, decline in savings account balances. Time deposits increased by $70.1 million, or 14 percent, to $569.8 million at December 31, 2006 as compared to


Page 4 of 15

<PAGE>

$499.7 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in time deposits is primarily attributable to the Company's time deposit marketing campaigns and depositors switching from savings deposits to time deposits.
        The average balance of borrowings, which primarily consists of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of San Francisco advances, increased $177.0 million to $632.4 million and the average cost of advances increased 51 basis points to 4.70 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to an average balance of $455.4 million and an average cost of 4.19 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the average cost of borrowings was primarily the result of higher interest rates on short-term advances.
        The net interest margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased 36 basis points to 2.51 percent from 2.87 percent during the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter basis, the net interest margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased 17 basis points from 2.68 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
        During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a loan loss provision of $3.75 million, compared to a recovery of $27,000 during the same period of fiscal 2006. The substantial increase in the loan loss provision was primarily attributable to the specific loan loss reserves on non-performing loans, an increase in loans held for investment and an increase in classified assets. Total classified assets (including assets designated as special mention) increased by $9.8 million, or 105 percent, to $19.1 million at December 31, 2006 from $9.3 million at June 30, 2006. Loans held for investment increased $126.9 million (primarily in preferred loans) to $1.39 billion at December 31,


Page 5 of 15

<PAGE>

2006 from $1.26 billion at June 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses is considered sufficient by management to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment.
        Non-performing assets increased to $13.7 million, or 0.78 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2006, compared to $849,000, or 0.05 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2005. The non-performing assets were comprised of 16 single-family loans ($5.7 million), two commercial real estate loans ($3.0 million), 23 construction loans ($2.5 million), eight single-family loans repurchased from, or unable to sell to, investors ($1.8 million) and two single-family properties acquired in the settlement of loans ($720,000).
        The allowance for loan losses was $14.6 million at December 31, 2006, or 1.04 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $9.3 million, or 0.79 percent of gross loans held for investment at December 31, 2005.
        The decrease in non-interest income in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal 2006 was primarily the result of the gain on sale of real estate recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 (not replicated in the second quarter of fiscal 2007), a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and a decrease in loan servicing and other fees. The gain on sale of loans decreased $437,000, or 13 percent, to $2.92 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 from $3.36 million in the comparable quarter last year. The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 100 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, down 10 basis points from 110 basis points in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in the loan sale margin was primarily attributable to the more competitive mortgage banking environment. The


Page 6 of 15

<PAGE>

decrease in loan servicing and other fees was primarily attributable to lower brokered loan fees and lower loan payoff fees.
        On a sequential quarter basis, the average loan sale margin for mortgage banking in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased by 11 basis points to 100 basis points from 111 basis points in the prior quarter.
        The volume of loans originated for sale increased to $312.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from $302.4 million during the same period last year. Total loan originations (including loans originated for investment, loans purchased for investment and loans originated for sale) were $482.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, an increase of $29.9 million from $452.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in loan originations was primarily attributable to the loans purchased for investment, partly offset by fewer loans originated for investment the result of a general rise in interest rates, a decline in real estate sales and a more competitive environment.
        In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the fair-value adjustment of derivative financial instruments pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations was a loss of $150,000, compared to a gain of $63,000 in the same period last year. The fair-value adjustment for SFAS No. 133 is derived from changes in the market value of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, forward loan sale agreements and option contracts. The SFAS No. 133 adjustment is relatively volatile and results in timing differences in the recognition of income, which may have an adverse impact on future earnings.
        The increase in non-interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in compensation expense, the result of lower deferred compensation attributable to the


Page 7 of 15

<PAGE>

application of SFAS No. 91. On July 1, 2006, the Bank lowered the SFAS No. 91 deferred compensation allocated to each loan originated after completing the annual review and analysis of SFAS No. 91. Additionally, fewer loans were originated during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 in comparison to the same quarter last year, which also reduced deferred compensation. The increase in compensation expense was partly offset by decreases in equipment, professional and marketing expenses.
        The Company's efficiency ratio increased to 56 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 from 35 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2006.
        The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was 46.4 percent, as compared to 42.7 percent in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily attributable to the decline in income before income taxes, while non-deductible expenses remained essentially unchanged. The Company believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 reflects its current income tax obligations.
        The Company repurchased 190,338 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2006 at an average cost of $30.09 per share. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has repurchased 92 percent of the shares authorized by the May 2006 Stock Repurchase Program, leaving 29,706 shares available for future repurchase activity.
        The Bank currently operates 13 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire) and recently opened its newest location in the La Sierra area of Riverside. Provident Bank Mortgage operates 13 loan production


Page 8 of 15

offices located throughout Southern California and one loan production office located in Northern California.
