PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

 

Preferred Loans Increase to 39% of Loans Held for Investment

Sequential Quarter Deposit Growth of 6% or $56 Million

 

        Riverside, Calif. - April 24, 2007 - Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Company"), NASDAQ GSM: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), today announced third quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.

        For the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company reported net income of $2.54 million, or $0.39 per diluted share (on 6.51 million weighted-average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $3.40 million, or $0.49 per diluted share (on 6.88 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 programs. The decline in net income in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income, a decrease in gain on sale of loans and an increase in compensation expense.

        "The operating environment for community banks and thrifts remains very challenging," said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "The slightly inverted yield curve and highly competitive loan and deposit pricing implies ongoing pressure to net interest margins."

        Mr. Blunden went on to say, "The mortgage banking environment has changed dramatically since the collapse of the sub-prime market and increased regulatory scrutiny of non-traditional mortgage products, resulting in poorer loan sale execution. It may take another three to six months for the mortgage banking environment to stabilize."

        Return on average assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 0.58 percent, compared to 0.89 percent for the same period of fiscal 2006. Return on average stockholders' equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 7.60 percent, compared to 10.17 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2006.

        On a sequential quarter basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 increased by $1.04 million, or 70 percent, to $2.54 million from $1.50 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007; and diluted earnings per share increased $0.17, or 77 percent, to $0.39 from $0.22 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Return on average assets increased 23 basis points to 0.58 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from 0.35 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and return on average equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 7.60 percent, compared to 4.40 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

        For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, net income was $9.29 million, a decrease of 44 percent from net income of $16.72 million for the comparable period ended March 31, 2006; and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 decreased $1.03, or 42 percent, to $1.40 from $2.43 for the comparable period last year. The decrease in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was primarily attributable to the specific loan loss reserve of $2.46 million (approximately $1.43 million net of statutory taxes) on 23 individual construction loans recognized in the

 


Page 2 of 16

<PAGE>

quarter ended December 31, 2006 and the $6.28 million gain on sale of real estate (approximately $3.64 million net of statutory taxes) recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 (not replicated in fiscal 2007). Return on average assets for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 decreased 68 basis points to 0.73 percent from 1.41 percent for the nine-month period a year earlier. Return on average stockholders' equity for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was 9.12 percent, compared to 17.28 percent for the nine-month period a year earlier.

        Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $524,000, or five percent, to $10.67 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $11.19 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. Non-interest income decreased $539,000, or 13 percent, to $3.68 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $4.22 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2006. Non-interest expense increased $550,000, or seven percent, to $8.59 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $8.04 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2006.

        The average balance of loans outstanding increased by $234.9 million to $1.49 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $1.26 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2006, and the average yield increased by 25 basis points to 6.36 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from an average yield of 6.11 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to higher interest rates on newly originated loans and the repricing of existing adjustable rate loans in the loans held for investment portfolio. Total loans originated for investment in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $79.8 million (including $29.3 million of loans purchased for investment), which consisted primarily of single-family, multi-family and commercial


Page 3 of 16

<PAGE>

real estate. This compares to total loans originated for investment of $146.5 million (including $63.0 million of loans purchased for investment) in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. The outstanding balance of "preferred loans" (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) increased by $156.5 million, or 40 percent, to $547.2 million at March 31, 2007 from $390.7 million at March 31, 2006. The ratio of preferred loans to total loans held for investment increased to 39 percent at March 31, 2007 compared to 32 percent at March 31, 2006. Loan prepayments in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 were $97.3 million, compared to $107.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2006.

        Average deposits increased by $40.3 million to $955.3 million and the average cost of deposits increased by 102 basis points to 3.42 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to an average balance of $915.0 million and an average cost of 2.40 percent in the same quarter last year. Transaction account balances (core deposits) decreased by $66.2 million, or 15 percent, to $364.9 million at March 31, 2007 from $431.1 million at March 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $46.7 million, or 23 percent, decline in savings account balances. Time deposits increased by $116.6 million, or 23 percent, to $617.7 million at March 31, 2007 as compared to $501.1 million at March 31, 2006. 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 $179.3 million to $636.1 million and the average cost of advances increased 48 basis points to 4.74 percent in the


Page 4 of 16

<PAGE>

third quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to an average balance of $456.8 million and an average cost of 4.26 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 third quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased 50 basis points to 2.50 percent from 3.00 percent during the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter basis, the net interest margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased one basis point from 2.51 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

        During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a loan loss provision of $1.19 million, down $116,000, or nine percent, from $1.30 million during the same period of fiscal 2006. The loan loss provision in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was primarily attributable to a $14.0 million sequential quarter increase in preferred loans held for investment, a $361,000 specific loan loss reserve established on eight non-performing loans and an increase in classified assets. Classified assets at March 31, 2007 were $38.5 million, comprised of $12.7 million in the special mention category and $25.8 million in the substandard category. Classified assets increased by $19.4 million from December 31, 2006 when classified assets were $19.1 million, comprised of $3.0 million in the special mention category and $16.1 million in the substandard category.

        Non-performing assets increased to $14.7 million, or 0.83 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2007, compared to $13.7 million, or 0.78 percent of total assets at December 31, 2006 and $1.5 million, or 0.10 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2006. The non-performing assets at March 31, 2007 were comprised of 15 single-family loans ($6.2 million), one commercial real estate loan ($2.1 million), 23 construction loans ($2.5


Page 5 of 16

<PAGE>

million), 13 single-family loans repurchased from, or unable to sell to, investors ($3.0 million) and three single-family properties acquired in the settlement of loans ($932,000).

        The allowance for loan losses was $15.7 million at March 31, 2007, or 1.12 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $10.6 million, or 0.87 percent of gross loans held for investment at March 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007 includes $3.2 million of specific loan loss reserves, compared to $239,000 of specific loan loss reserves at March 31, 2006. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment.

        The decrease in non-interest income in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal 2006 was primarily the result of a decrease in the gain on sale of loans. The gain on sale of loans declined by $349,000, or 13 percent, to $2.31 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $2.66 million in the comparable quarter last year. The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 71 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, down 30 basis points from 101 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 and the recent volatility in the secondary market caused by the well-publicized collapse of the sub-prime loan market.

        The volume of loans originated for sale increased to $306.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from $254.4 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 $386.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, a


Page 6 of 16

<PAGE>

decrease of $15.0 million, or four percent, from $401.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in loan originations was primarily attributable to a decrease in loans purchased for investment.

        In the third 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 gain of $133,000, compared to a loss of $54,000 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 application of SFAS No. 91, which was partly offset by lower incentive compensation expenses. 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.

        The Company's efficiency ratio increased to 60 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 from 52 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2006.

        The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was 44.5 percent, as compared to 43.9 percent in the same quarter last year. The Company believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 reflects its current income tax obligations.

        The Company repurchased 194,580 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 at an average cost of $27.62 per share. During the quarter, the Company completed the May 2006 Stock Repurchase Program and repurchased 49 percent of the shares authorized by the January 2007 Stock Repurchase Program, leaving 168,491 shares available for future repurchase activity.

        The Bank currently operates 13 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire). Provident Bank Mortgage operates 13 loan production offices located throughout Southern California and one loan production office located in Northern California.
