Riverside, Calif. – July 28, 2015 – Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced fourth quarter earnings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.
            For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $2.49 million, or $0.28 per diluted share (on 8.88 million average diluted shares outstanding), compared to net income of $2.09 million, or $0.22 per diluted share (on 9.70 million average diluted shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago.  The increase in net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was primarily attributable to a $1.19

million, or 16 percent, increase in net interest income, a $740,000, or nine percent, increase in the gain on sale of loans; partly offset by a $1.27 million, or 13 percent, increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and a $587,000, or 85 percent, reduction in the recovery from the allowance for loan losses, compared to the same period one year ago.
“We are very pleased with our improved financial results this year in comparison to last year.  We have worked very hard to advance our fundamental performance and will continue to do so,” said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  “Although we are disappointed with the small sequential quarter decline in loans held for investment, we will not sacrifice our prudent underwriting standards and disciplined pricing standards to enhance our short-term growth and performance at the expense of our long-term growth and performance,” he concluded.
            Return on average assets for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 increased to 0.84 percent from 0.75 percent for the same period of fiscal 2014 and return on average stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 increased to 7.02 percent from 5.66 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2014.
On a sequential quarter basis, the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 net income reflects an $115,000, or four percent, decrease from net income of $2.60 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015.  The decrease in net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2015 was primarily attributable to a decrease of $992,000 in the gain on sale of loans, partly offset by an increase of $472,000 in net interest income.  Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 were $0.28 per share, down three percent from $0.29 per share in the third quarter of fiscal

2015.  Return on average assets decreased to 0.84 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from 0.92 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2015; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was 7.02 percent, compared to 7.22 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2015.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, net income increased $3.19 million, or 48 percent, to $9.80 million from $6.61 million in the comparable period ended June 30, 2014; and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 increased $0.42, or 65 percent, to $1.07 from $0.65 for the comparable period last year.  The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in the gain on sale of loans, which was partly offset by a decrease in the recovery from the allowance for loan losses, an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense and an increase in the provision for income taxes.  Total loan originations and purchases in fiscal 2015 and 2014 were $2.66 billion and $2.14 billion, respectively, while $2.41 billion and $2.00 billion, respectively, were sold to investors.
Net interest income increased $1.19 million, or 16 percent, to $8.85 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $7.66 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2014, attributable to a higher average earning assets balance and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the net interest margin.  Non-interest income increased $954,000, or 10 percent, to $10.51 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $9.56 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  Non-interest expense increased $936,000, or seven percent, to $15.15 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $14.21 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  The increases in non-interest income (primarily due to an increase in the
 
 
 

Page 3 of 20
 
   
 
gain on sale of loans) and non-interest expense (primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense) relate primarily to increased mortgage banking activity.
The average balance of loans outstanding, including loans held for sale, increased by $165.5 million, or 19 percent, to $1.04 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $869.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014, primarily due to an increase in loans held for sale attributable to the improved mortgage banking activity and, to a lesser extent, an increase in loans held for investment, primarily in multi-family loans.  The average yield on loans receivable decreased by 20 basis points to 3.89 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from an average yield of 4.09 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  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, adjustable rate loans repricing to lower current market interest rates and a lower average yield on loans held for sale.  The average balance of loans held for sale in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was $219.8 million with an average yield of 3.63 percent as compared to $99.1 million with an average yield of 4.29 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  Loans originated and purchased for investment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 totaled $26.8 million, consisting primarily of multi-family, construction and single-family loans.  The outstanding balance of “preferred loans” (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) increased by $52.4 million, or 13 percent, to $453.4 million at June 30, 2015 from $401.0 million at June 30, 2014.  The percentage of preferred loans to total loans held for investment at June 30, 2015 increased to 55 percent from 51 percent at June 30, 2014.  Loan principal payments received in the

fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 were $32.0 million, compared to $46.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.
The average balance of investment securities decreased by $1.5 million, or nine percent, to $15.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $17.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  The decrease was attributable to principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities during the last 12 months, partly offset by an $800,000 investment in short-term time deposits at four minority-owned financial institutions in June 2014 and a $250,000 investment in the common stock of a community development financial institution in July 2014 to help fulfill the Bank’s Community Reinvestment Act obligation.  The average yield on investment securities decreased eight basis points to 1.78 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from 1.86 percent for the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  The decline in the average yield was primarily attributable to the downward repricing of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and the placement of the short-term time deposits referred to above at an average yield of 0.50 percent.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) – San Francisco distributed a $133,000 regular cash dividend and a $261,000 special cash dividend to the Bank.  This compares to the same quarter last year when the Bank received a $178,000 regular cash dividend.
The average balance of the Company’s interest-earning deposits, primarily cash with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, decreased $93.4 million, or 52 percent, to $85.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $178.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  The decrease in interest-earning deposits was primarily the result
 
 
 

Page 5 of 20
 
   
 
of redeploying cash balances to fund the increase in loans held for sale and loans held for investment.  The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits was 0.25 percent in both the fourth quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014 and lower than the yield that could have been earned if the excess liquidity was deployed in loans or investment securities.
Average deposits increased $15.4 million, or two percent, to $918.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $902.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  The average cost of deposits decreased by six basis points to 0.50 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from 0.56 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher cost time deposits repricing to lower current market interest rates and a lower percentage of time deposits to the total deposit balance.  Transaction account balances or “core deposits” increased $51.4 million, or 10 percent, to $578.4 million at June 30, 2015 from $527.0 million at June 30, 2014, while time deposits decreased $25.2 million, or seven percent, to $345.7 million at June 30, 2015 from $370.9 million at June 30, 2014, 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.
The average balance of borrowings, which consisted of FHLB – San Francisco advances, increased $56.9 million, or 127 percent, to $101.5 million and the average cost of advances decreased 82 basis points to 2.38 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to an average balance of $44.6 million and an average cost of 3.20 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2014.  The increase in borrowings was primarily attributable to newly acquired long-term advances to hedge against rising interest rates.
The net interest margin during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 increased 24 basis points to 3.09 percent from 2.85 percent in the same quarter last year.  The increase was
 
 
 

Page 6 of 20
 
   
 
primarily due to the deployment of excess liquidity into higher yielding interest-earning assets, primarily to fund increases in loans held for sale and loans held for investment and the special cash dividend received from FHLB – San Francisco.  The average yield of interest-earning assets increased by 24 basis points to 3.70 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from 3.46 percent in the same quarter last year, while the average cost of liabilities increased by one basis point to 0.69 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from 0.68 percent in the same quarter last year.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $104,000 compared to the recovery of $691,000 recorded during the same period of fiscal 2014 and the $111,000 recovery recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter).
Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral primarily located in Southern California, decreased to $16.3 million, or 1.39 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2015, compared to $18.4 million, or 1.66 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2014.  Non-performing loans at June 30, 2015 decreased $2.0 million or 12 percent since June 30, 2014 to $13.9 million and were primarily comprised of 34 single-family loans ($9.9 million); four multi-family loans ($2.2 million); five commercial real estate loans ($1.7 million); and one commercial business loan ($89,000).  Real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans at June 30, 2015 decreased $69,000, or three percent, to $2.4 million (three properties) from $2.5 million (four properties) at June 30, 2014.  The real estate owned at June 30, 2015 was comprised of two single-family properties ($432,000) and one commercial real estate property ($2.0 million).

Net recoveries for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $116,000 or 0.04 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, compared to net recoveries of $411,000 or 0.19 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and net recoveries of $130,000 or 0.05 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 (sequential quarter).
Classified assets at June 30, 2015 were $31.1 million, comprised of $8.2 million of loans in the special mention category, $20.5 million of loans in the substandard category and $2.4 million in real estate owned.  Classified assets at June 30, 2014 were $37.9 million, comprised of $9.4 million of loans in the special mention category, $26.0 million of loans in the substandard category and $2.5 million in real estate owned.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, no loans were restructured from their original terms or newly classified as a restructured loan.  As of June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of restructured loans that have not returned to their original promissory note terms was $6.6 million: two loans were classified as special mention ($989,000, on accrual status); and 16 loans were classified as substandard ($5.6 million, all are on non-accrual status).  As of June 30, 2015, $4.9 million, or 74 percent, of restructured loans were current with respect to their modified payment terms.
The allowance for loan losses was $8.7 million at June 30, 2015, or 1.06 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $9.7 million at June 30, 2014, or 1.25 percent of gross loans held for investment.  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 at June 30, 2015.

Non-interest income increased by $954,000, or 10 percent, to $10.51 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $9.56 million in the same period of fiscal 2014, primarily as a result of a $740,000 increase in the gain on sale of loans.  On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $758,000, or seven percent, primarily as a result of a $992,000, or 10 percent, decrease in the gain on sale of loans.
The gain on sale of loans increased to $8.76 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 from $8.02 million in the comparable quarter last year, reflecting the impact of a higher loan sale volume, partly offset by a lower average loan sale margin.  Total loan sale volume, which includes the net change in commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, was $636.8 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2015, up $135.8 million, or 27 percent, from $501.0 million in the comparable quarter last year.  The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 139 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, down 20 basis points from 159 basis points in the comparable quarter last year but up 14 basis points from 125 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter).  The gain on sale of loans includes an unfavorable 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 loss of $5.34 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to a favorable fair-value adjustment that amounted to a net gain of $3.03 million in the same period last year.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, a total of $720.7 million of loans were originated and purchased for sale, 51 percent higher than the $477.2 million for the same period last year, and six percent higher than the $680.6 million during the third quarter of

fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter).  The loan origination volume has increased from the previous year because mortgage interest rates have declined spurring an increase in refinance activity.  Total loans sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 were $795.5 million, 87 percent higher than the $425.2 million sold during the same quarter last year, and 32 percent higher than the $604.1 million sold during the third quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter).  Total loan originations (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans originated and purchased for sale) were $747.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, an increase of 42 percent from $525.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2014, and two percent higher than the $735.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter).
The sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans resulted in a net gain of $294,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to a net gain of $3,000 in the comparable period last year.  Four real estate owned properties were sold and two real estate owned properties were acquired in the settlement of loans in both the fourth quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014.  As of June 30, 2015, the real estate owned balance was $2.4 million (three properties), compared to $2.5 million (four properties) at June 30, 2014.
Non-interest expenses increased $936,000, or seven percent, to $15.15 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from $14.21 million in the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily related to the increase in mortgage banking loan production resulting in higher variable compensation expense.

The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 78 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 from 83 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.  The improvement was primarily the result of the increases in net interest income and non-interest income, partly offset by the increase in non-interest expense.
The Company’s provision for income taxes was $1.83 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, an increase of $230,000 or 14 percent, from $1.60 million in the same quarter last year, as a result of the increase in income before taxes.  The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was 42.4 percent as compared to 43.4 percent in the same quarter last year.  The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 reflects its current income tax obligations.
The Company repurchased 187,566 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 at an average cost of $17.39 per share.  As of June 30, 2015, a total of 81,667 shares or 19 percent of the shares authorized in the April 2015 stock repurchase plan have been purchased, leaving 348,984 shares available for future purchases.
The Bank currently operates 15 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire).  Provident Bank Mortgage operates two wholesale loan production offices and 13 retail loan production offices located throughout California.
