PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2022 RESULTS

Net Income of $2.67 Million in the September 2021 Quarter

Loans Held for Investment Increase 1% from June 30, 2021 to $859.0 Million

Total Deposits Increase 2% from June 30, 2021 to $956.7 Million

Improved Asset Quality with a $339,000 Recovery from the Allowance for Loan Losses

Net Interest Margin Improves 17 Basis Points from Prior Sequential Quarter

Non-Interest Expenses Remain Well-Controlled

Riverside, Calif. – October 26, 2021 – Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced first quarter earnings results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company reported net income of $2.67 million, or $0.35 per diluted share (on 7.58 million average diluted shares outstanding), up 80 percent from net income of $1.49 million, or $0.20 per diluted share (on 7.46 million average diluted shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. Compared to the same quarter last year, the increase in earnings was primarily attributable to a $1.32 million decrease in non-interest expenses (mainly, lower salaries and employee benefits expenses) and a $559,000 improvement in the provision for loan losses last year to a $339,000 recovery from the allowance for loan losses, partly offset by lower net interest income and lower non-interest income (mainly, lower loan servicing and other fees).
“I am pleased that general economic conditions are improving and the United States is making progress in its fight against the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “This quarter marks the second consecutive sequential quarter of growth in both loans held for investment and deposits, and more importantly, expansion of our net interest margin. I remain confident that Provident is well-positioned to benefit from improving general economic conditions and that our strong financial foundation will allow us to capitalize on future opportunities as they develop,” said Mr. Blunden.
Return on average assets for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 0.89 percent, up from 0.50 percent for the same period of fiscal 2021; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the first
 Page 1 of 14


   
quarter of fiscal 2022 was 8.39 percent, up from 4.78 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2021.
On a sequential quarter basis, the $2.67 million net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 reflects a 20 percent decrease from $3.34 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease in earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily attributable to a $745,000 increase in non-interest expenses, a $428,000 decrease in the recovery from the allowance for loan losses and a $172,000 decrease in non-interest income, partly offset by a $510,000 increase in net interest income. The decrease in the non-interest income was primarily due to lower loan servicing and other fees and lower card and processing fees.  The increase in the non-interest expenses was primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits expenses (mainly attributable to a lower Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”)), partly offset by lower other non-interest expense (mainly attributable to a $125,000 legal settlement recorded as accredit to other non-interest expense). The ERTC credit was recorded for qualified wages consistent with the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 and American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 where eligible employers can claim a maximum credit equal to 70 percent of $10,000 of qualified wages paid to an employee per calendar quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $0.35 per share, down 20 percent from the $0.44 per share during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Return on average assets was 0.89 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, down from 1.12 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 8.39 percent, down from 10.65 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
Net interest income decreased $278,000, or three percent, to $7.89 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $8.17 million for the same quarter last year, attributable to a decrease in the net interest margin, partly offset by a higher average balance of interest-earning assets. The net interest margin during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 13 basis points to 2.71 percent from 2.84 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partly offset by a smaller decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 30 basis points to 3.01 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from 3.31 percent in the same quarter last year while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 20 basis points to 0.32 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from 0.52 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $12.6 million, or one percent, to $1.16 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $1.15 billion in the same quarter last year. The increase in the average balance of interest-earnings assets was due primarily to an increase in investment securities, partly offset by decreases in loans held for investment and interest-earning deposits.
The average balance of loans receivable decreased by $40.3 million, or five percent, to $852.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $893.0 million in the same quarter last year. The average yield on loans receivable decreased by 16 basis points to 3.83 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from an average yield of 3.99 percent in the same quarter last year. Net deferred loan cost amortization in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased five percent to $441,000 from $466,000 in the same quarter last year. Total loans originated and purchased for investment
 Page 2 of 14



   
in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $60.9 million, up 27 percent from $48.0 million in the same quarter last year. Loan principal payments received in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 were $53.9 million, down 19 percent from $66.3 million in the same quarter last year.
The average balance of investment securities increased by $63.7 million, or 41 percent, to $219.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $156.2 million in the same quarter last year as excess liquidity earning a nominal yield was deployed into higher earning assets. The average yield on investment securities decreased 46 basis points to 0.76 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from 1.22 percent for the same quarter last year. The decrease in the average yield was primarily attributable to investment security purchases during fiscal 2021 with a lower average yield than the legacy portfolio of investment securities, reflecting the current low interest rate environment. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Bank did not purchase any investment securities.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Federal Home Loan Bank – San Francisco (“FHLB”) distributed a $122,000 cash dividend to the Bank on its FHLB stock, up $22,000 or 22 percent from $100,000 in the same quarter last year.
The average balance of the Company’s interest-earning deposits, primarily excess cash deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, decreased $11.1 million, or 12 percent, to $82.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $93.3 million in the same quarter last year primarily as a result of purchases of investment securities in fiscal 2021. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 0.15 percent, up five basis points from 0.10 percent in the same quarter last year.
Average deposits increased $53.0 million, or six percent, to $952.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $899.3 million in the same quarter last year, primarily due to increases in transaction accounts, partly offset by a managed run-off of higher cost time deposits. The average cost of deposits improved, decreasing by 11 basis points to 0.13 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from 0.24 percent in the same quarter last year.
Transaction account balances or “core deposits” increased $23.8 million, or three percent, to $821.3 million at September 30, 2021 from $797.5 million at June 30, 2021, while time deposits decreased $4.9 million, or three percent, to $135.5 million at September 30, 2021 from $140.4 million at June 30, 2021.
The average balance of borrowings, which consisted of FHLB advances, decreased $43.0 million, or 31 percent, to $97.7 million while the average cost of borrowings decreased five basis points to 2.21 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to an average balance of $140.7 million with an average cost of 2.26 percent in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings was primarily due to prepayments and maturities of borrowings.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $339,000, in contrast to a $220,000 provision for loan losses recorded during the same period last year and a $767,000 recovery from the allowance for loan losses
 Page 3 of 14
 

 
recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 (sequential quarter). The recovery from the allowance for loan losses for the current quarter primarily reflects improved credit quality and payoffs of non-performing loans as well as improving general economic conditions, partly offset by an  increase in loan portfolio balances during the current quarter; while the provision for loan losses recorded in the same quarter last year primarily reflected the deterioration in forecasted economic metrics reflecting the economic outlook that existed at the quarter end as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partly offset by a decrease in loan balances.
Non-performing assets, comprised solely of non-performing loans with underlying collateral located in California, decreased $2.0 million or 23 percent to $6.6 million, or 0.55 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2021, compared to $8.6 million, or 0.73 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2021. The non-performing loans at September 30, 2021 are comprised of 20 single-family loans and one multi-family loan. At both September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, there was no real estate owned.
Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 were $165,000 or 0.08 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, as compared to net loan recoveries of $5,000 or 0.00 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and net loan recoveries of $8,000 or 0.00 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 (sequential quarter).
Classified assets, comprised solely of loans, were $8.2 million at September 30, 2021, including $1.6 million of loans in the special mention category and $6.6 million of loans in the substandard category; while classified assets at June 30, 2021 were $10.4 million, including $1.8 million of loans in the special mention category and $8.6 million of loans in the substandard category.
As of September 30, 2021, only one single-family loan remained in a COVID-19 related forbearance with an outstanding balance of approximately $308,000 or 0.04 percent of gross loans held for investment. As of September 30, 2021, the Bank had no pending requests for payment relief.  The Bank ended its COVID-19 loan forbearance program on March 31, 2021.
The allowance for loan losses was $7.4 million or 0.86 percent of gross loans held for investment at September 30, 2021, down from the $7.6 million or 0.88 percent of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2021. 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 September 30, 2021 under the incurred loss methodology.
Non-interest income decreased by $90,000, or eight percent, to $1.07 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $1.16 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a $219,000 decrease in loan servicing and other fees. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in prepayment fees resulting from lower loan payoffs, particularly in multi-family loans. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $172,000, or 14 percent, primarily as a result of decreases in loan servicing and other fees and card and processing fees.

Non-interest expenses decreased $1.32 million, or 19 percent, to $5.67 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 from $6.99 million in the same quarter last year due primarily to lower salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from a $1.20 million credit for the ERTC. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest expenses increased $745,000, or 15 percent, from $4.92 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 due primarily to higher salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from a lower credit for the ERTC ($1.20 million vs. $2.44 million), partly offset by lower other non-interest expense.
The Company’s efficiency ratio in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 63 percent, an improvement from 75 percent in the same quarter last year but higher than the 57 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 (sequential quarter).
The Company’s provision for income tax was $961,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, up 51 percent from $635,000 in the same quarter last year primarily due to higher net income before the provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 was 26.5 percent, lower than the 30.0 percent in the same quarter last year, attributable primarily to the tax benefit from the non-taxable treatment of the ERTC for state tax purposes. The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 reflects its current federal and state income tax obligations.
The Company repurchased 49,764 shares of its common stock with an average cost of $17.10 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 pursuant to its stock repurchase plan. As of September 30, 2021, a total of 217,069 shares or 58 percent of the shares authorized for repurchase under the April 2020 stock repurchase plan remain available to purchase until the plan expires on April 27, 2022.
The Bank currently operates 13 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire).
