PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2012 EARNINGS


Loans Originated for Sale Increase by 26% (Sequential Quarter)

Non-Performing Assets Decline by 39%

Net Charge-Offs Decline by 48%

Core Deposits (Transaction Accounts) Increase by 7%
 
    Riverside, Calif. – October 27, 2011 – Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced first quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
 
            For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company reported net income of $2.32 million, or $0.20 per diluted share (on 11.51 million average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $4.53 million, or $0.40 per diluted share (on 11.36 million average shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago.  The decrease in net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income (before provision for loan losses), a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and an increase in compensation expenses, partly offset by an improvement in real estate owned operations and a lower FDIC insurance premium as compared to the same period last year.

    “We continue to position the Company to take advantage of opportunities in the markets we serve.  We are pleased to see core deposits rise, loans originated for investment increase and the continued improvement in our asset quality,” said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  “Our mortgage banking outlook remains favorable and we believe our near-term results from mortgage banking will effectively temper any foreseeable headwinds that our Company may face from lackluster general economic conditions.”
 
    As of September 30, 2011 the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Tangible Capital, Core Capital, Total Risk-Based Capital and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratios of 10.34 percent, 10.34 percent, 16.91 percent and 15.65 percent, respectively.  As of June 30, 2011 these ratios were 10.53 percent, 10.53 percent, 17.56 percent and 16.30 percent, respectively.  For each period, the Bank’s capital ratios exceeded the minimum required ratios to be deemed “well-capitalized” (5.00 percent for Core Capital, 10.00 percent for Total Risk-Based Capital and 6.00 percent for Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital).  On September 22, 2011 the Bank’s Board of Directors declared a $5.0 million cash dividend payable to its sole shareholder, the Company, which was paid on September 23, 2011.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 79,690 shares of common stock at an average cost of $8.36 per share.  The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock in the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
 
    Return on average assets for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased to 0.71 percent from 1.29 percent for the same period of fiscal 2011.  Return on average

stockholders’ equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 also decreased to 6.51 percent from 13.93 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2011.
 
    On a sequential quarter basis, the first quarter net income of fiscal 2012 reflects a 10 percent increase from net income of $2.10 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.  The increase in net income in the current quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in the gain on sale of loans and a decrease in the deposit insurance premiums, partly offset by a decrease in net interest income before the provision for loan losses and an increase in compensation expenses.  Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 increased to $0.20 per share from $0.18 per share in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.  Return on average assets increased to 0.71 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from 0.63 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was 6.51 percent, compared to 5.99 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
 
    Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $1.01 million, or 10 percent, to $8.80 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $9.81 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2011, due to decreases in average earning assets and the net interest margin.  Non-interest income decreased $1.79 million, or 17 percent, to $8.55 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $10.34 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  Non-interest expenses increased $1.09 million, or 10 percent, to $12.30 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $11.21 million in the same quarter in fiscal 2011.  The decrease in non-interest income and increase in non-interest expenses relate primarily to mortgage banking operations and higher compensation expenses.

    The average balance of loans outstanding decreased by $108.6 million, or nine percent, to $1.06 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $1.17 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  The decline in the loan balance was consistent with the Company’s desire to manage its credit risk profile in response to current economic conditions and provide sufficient balance sheet capacity for its mortgage banking operations.  The average yield on loans receivable decreased by 51 basis points to 4.83 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from an average yield of 5.34 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to payoffs of loans which had a higher yield than the average yield of loans held for investment and adjustable rate loans repricing to lower current market interest rates.  Loans originated for investment in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 totaled $15.8 million, consisting of multi-family and commercial real estate loans.  The outstanding balance of “preferred loans” (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) decreased by $44.6 million, or 10 percent, to $403.2 million at September 30, 2011 from $447.8 million at September 30, 2010.  There were no construction loans outstanding at September 30, 2011.  The percentage of preferred loans to total loans held for investment at September 30, 2011 increased slightly to 45 percent from 44 percent at September 30, 2010.  Loan principal payments received in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 were $35.6 million, compared to $28.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  In addition, real estate acquired in the settlement of loans (real estate owned) in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 declined to $5.7 million, compared to $15.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.

    The average balance of investment securities decreased by $8.1 million, or 24 percent, to $25.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $33.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  The decrease was attributable primarily to $3.3 million of agency debt securities, which were called by the issuer in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, and $4.4 million of principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities during the last 12 months.  The average yield on investment securities decreased 56 basis points to 2.28 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from 2.84 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  The decline in average yield was primarily attributable to the downward repricing of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities.
 
    In July 2011, the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) – San Francisco announced a partial redemption of excess capital stock held by member banks and a cash dividend.  As a result, a total of $1.2 million of excess capital stock was redeemed and an $18,000 cash dividend was received by the Bank in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
 
    The average balance of the Corporation’s interest-earning deposits, primarily cash with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, increased to $152.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $102.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  The Bank maintained high levels of cash and cash equivalents in response to the uncertain operating environment and to fund its mortgage banking operations.  The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits was 0.25% in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, much lower than the yield that could have been earned if the excess liquidity was deployed in loans or investment securities.
 
    Average deposits increased $16.9 million, or two percent, to $954.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $937.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  The

average cost of deposits decreased by 23 basis points to 0.97 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from 1.20 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher costing time deposits repricing to lower current market interest rates and a reduction in rates paid on transaction account balances (“core deposits”).  Core deposits increased by $30.5 million, or seven percent, to $489.3 million at September 30, 2011 from $458.8 million at September 30, 2010, consistent with the Bank’s strategy to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the percentage of lower cost checking and savings accounts.  Time deposits decreased slightly to $472.6 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $473.4 million at September 30, 2010.  As of September 30, 2011, the remaining outstanding balance of brokered deposits was $12.2 million.
 
    The average balance of borrowings, which consisted of FHLB – San Francisco advances, decreased $112.7 million, or 36 percent, to $196.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the average cost of advances decreased 39 basis points to 3.80 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to an average balance of $309.2 million and an average cost of 4.19 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2011.  The decrease in borrowings was primarily attributable to scheduled maturities.
 
    The net interest margin during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 16 basis points to 2.79 percent from 2.95 percent in the same quarter last year.  The decrease was primarily due to the declining yield of interest-earning assets outpacing the decline in the average cost of liabilities.  The declining yield of interest-earning assets was attributable to the downward repricing of loans and investment securities, a lower average balance of loans which generally have higher yields and a higher level of excess liquidity invested at

a nominal yield.  The decline in the average cost of liabilities was primarily due to the downward repricing of deposits to current market interest rates and a decline in the average cost of borrowings attributable primarily to the scheduled maturities during the period.
 
    During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $972,000, compared to the $877,000 provision for loan losses during the same period of fiscal 2011 and the $847,000 provision recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 (sequential quarter).
 
    Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral primarily located in Southern California, decreased to $44.4 million, or 3.36 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2011, compared to $72.7 million, or 5.23 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2010 and $45.5 million, or 3.46 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2011 (sequential quarter).  Non-performing loans at September 30, 2011 were primarily comprised of 113 single-family loans ($31.6 million); four commercial real estate loans ($2.6 million); two multi-family loans ($1.9 million); one other mortgage loan ($972,000); three commercial business loans ($3,000); and two consumer loans that were fully reserved.  Real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans at September 30, 2011 was comprised of 24 single-family properties ($5.7 million), one multi-family property ($920,000), one partially constructed commercial real estate property ($102,000), one developed lot ($399,000) and 25 undeveloped lots ($197,000).  Net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $2.75 million or 1.04 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, compared to $5.29 million or 1.82 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and $4.84 million or 1.83 percent

 (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 (sequential quarter).
 
    Classified assets at September 30, 2011 were $66.5 million, comprised of $14.3 million in the special mention category, $44.9 million in the substandard category and $7.3 million in real estate owned.  Classified assets at September 30, 2010 were $94.1 million, comprised of $18.9 million in the special mention category, $58.3 million in the substandard category and $16.9 million in real estate owned.
 
    For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, twelve loans for $4.8 million were re-underwritten and modified from their original terms, and were identified as restructured loans.  As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balance of restructured loans was $36.1 million ($19.0 million are on accrual status):  26 loans are classified as pass, are not included in the classified asset totals described earlier and remain on accrual status ($11.6 million); eight loans are classified as special mention and remain on accrual status ($5.7 million); 52 loans are classified as substandard ($18.8 million total, with 47 of the 52 loans or $17.1 million on non-accrual status); and one loan is classified as a loss, fully reserved and on non-accrual status.  As of September 30, 2011, $26.3 million, or 73 percent, of the restructured loans are current with respect to their payment status.
 
    The allowance for loan losses was $28.7 million at September 30, 2011, or 3.23 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $39.1 million, or 3.88 percent of gross loans held for investment at September 30, 2010.  The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011 includes $12.8 million of specific loan loss reserves and $15.9 million of general loan loss reserves, compared to $14.1 million of specific loan loss reserves and $16.4 million of general loan loss reserves at June 30, 2011.  Management

believes that, based on currently available information, the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment as of September 30, 2011.
 
    Non-interest income decreased to $8.55 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $10.34 million in the same period of fiscal 2011, primarily the result of a $2.17 million decrease in the gain on sale of loans, partly offset by an improvement in real estate owned operations to a net gain of $32,000 in comparison to a net loss of $(368,000) in the comparable prior period.  On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income increased $1.29 million, primarily due to a $1.54 million increase in the gain on sale of loans.
 
    The gain on sale of loans decreased to $7.28 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 from $9.45 million in the comparable quarter last year, reflecting the net impact of a lower average loan sale margin and a lower loan sale volume.  The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 112 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to 142 basis points in the comparable quarter last year.  The gain on sale of loans includes a favorable fair-value adjustment on loans held for sale and derivative financial instruments (commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans, commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities, and option contracts) that amounted to a net gain of $6.40 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to a favorable fair-value adjustment that amounted to a net gain of $3.36 million in the same period last year.  The gain on sale of loans for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 includes a $1.10 million recourse provision for loans sold that are subject to repurchase, compared to a $536,000 recourse provision in the comparable quarter last year.  As of September

30, 2011, the recourse reserve for loans sold that are subject to repurchase was $5.2 million, compared to $6.5 million at September 30, 2010 and $4.2 million at June 30, 2011 (sequential quarter).
 
    In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a total of $568.1 million of loans were originated for sale, a decrease of 13 percent from $649.5 million for the same period last year, but 26 percent higher than the $449.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 (sequential quarter).  The loan origination volume remains favorable from a historical perspective as a result of respectable liquidity in the secondary mortgage markets particularly in FHA/VA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan products and relatively low mortgage interest rates.  Total loans sold for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $485.7 million, a decrease of 18 percent from $590.8 million for the same quarter last year.  Total loan originations (including loans originated for investment and loans originated for sale) were $583.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, a decrease of 10 percent from $650.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011, however, 29 percent higher than the $454.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 (sequential quarter).
 
    The sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans resulted in a net gain of $32,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, as compared to a net loss of $(368,000) in the comparable period last year.  Eighteen real estate owned properties were sold in the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to 27 real estate owned properties sold in the same quarter last year.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, sixteen real estate owned properties were acquired in the settlement of loans, compared to 34 real estate owned properties acquired in the settlement of loans in the comparable period last year.  As of September 30, 2011, the real estate owned balance

was $7.3 million (52 properties), compared to $16.9 million (84 properties) at September 30, 2010 and $8.3 million (54 properties) at June 30 2011.
 
    Non-interest expenses increased to $12.30 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from $11.21 million in the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of an increase in compensation expenses, partly offset by lower deposit insurance premiums resulting from an improvement in the Bank’s risk category rating, the change in methodology of calculating the premium and a subsequent accrual adjustment.
 
    The Company’s efficiency ratio increased to 71 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 from 56 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The increase was the result of an increase in non-interest expense, and decreases in both net interest income and non-interest income.
 
    The Company’s tax provision was $1.75 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, down $1.78 million from $3.53 million in the same quarter last year.  The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was 43.1 percent as compared to 43.8 percent in the same quarter last year.  The slight decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily the result of a lower percentage of permanent tax differences relative to income before taxes.  The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 reflects its current income tax obligations.
 
    The Bank currently operates 14 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire).  Provident Bank Mortgage operates wholesale loan production offices in Pleasanton and Rancho Cucamonga, California and retail loan production offices in City of Industry, Dublin, Escondido, Glendora, Hermosa Beach, Rancho Cucamonga, Riverside (4) and Roseville, California.
