THIRD QUARTER OF FISCAL 2017 EARNINGS

Riverside, Calif. – April 27, 2017 – Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Company"), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), today announced third quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company reported net income of $1.15 million, or $0.14 per diluted share (on 8.09 million average diluted shares outstanding), down 23 percent from net income of $1.49 million, or $0.18 per diluted share (on 8.52 million average diluted shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The decrease in net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily attributable to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans, partly offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits expense and other non-interest expense.

"Although our most recent quarterly results have declined due to the volatility experienced in mortgage banking, our community banking results continue to strengthen and our outlook for community banking is favorable," said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Poorer mortgage banking performance resulted from recently higher mortgage interest rates in addition to the typical seasonality associated with the March quarter of each year. We continue to adjust our mortgage

banking business model in response to the weaker loan origination environment," Mr. Blunden concluded.

Return on average assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased to 0.39 percent from 0.51 percent for the same period of fiscal 2016; and return on average stockholders' equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 decreased to 3.46 percent from 4.36 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2016.

On a sequential quarter basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 reflects a $359,000, or 24 percent, decrease from the net income of $1.50 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2017 was primarily attributable to decreases in net interest income and the gain on sale of loans, partly offset by a decrease in other non-interest expense. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 were $0.14 per share, down 22 percent, from the $0.18 per share during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Return on average assets decreased to 0.39 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from 0.50 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2017; and return on average stockholders' equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was 3.46 percent, compared to 4.53 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2017, net income decreased $676,000, or 14 percent, to $4.24 million from $4.92 million in the comparable period ended March 31, 2016; and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 decreased nine percent to $0.52 per share from $0.57 per share for the comparable nine month period last year.

Net interest income increased $735,000, or nine percent, to $8.65 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from $7.91 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2016, attributable to an increase in the net interest margin and a higher average earning assets balance. The net interest margin during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 20 basis points to 3.00 percent from 2.80 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to the increase in the average yield of earning assets reflecting a change in the interest-earning-asset mix into additional higher yielding assets and a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased by 15 basis points to 3.56 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from 3.41 percent in the same quarter last year, while the average cost of liabilities decreased by five basis points to 0.64 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from 0.69 percent in the same quarter last year. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to the utilization of interest-earning deposits earning a nominal yield to fund higher balances of loans receivable and investment securities, which earned a significantly higher yield. The average interest-earning assets balance for the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $1.15 billion, up two percent from $1.13 billion during the same period last year.

The average balance of loans outstanding, including loans held for sale, increased by $22.2 million, or two percent, to $974.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from $952.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2016, primarily due to an increase in average loans held for investment, which was partly offset by a decrease in average loans held for sale attributable to a decrease in mortgage banking activity. The average yield on loans receivable increased by 11 basis points to 3.98 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2017

Page 3 of 20

from an average yield of 3.87 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to an increase in the average yield of loans held for sale and an increase in the average yield of loans held for investment. The average balance of loans held for sale in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was $104.7 million with an average yield of 3.87 percent as compared to $146.2 million with an average yield of 3.75 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2016. The outstanding balance of "preferred loans" (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) increased by $44.1 million, or eight percent, to $563.3 million at March 31, 2017 from $519.2 million at June 30, 2016, net of undisbursed loan funds of $9.5 million and $11.3 million, respectively. The percentage of preferred loans to total loans held for investment at March 31, 2017 increased to 64 percent from 61 percent at June 30, 2016. Loan principal payments received in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 were $46.2 million, compared to $56.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2016.

The average balance of investment securities increased by $22.4 million, or 90 percent, to $47.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from $24.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase was attributable to mortgage-backed securities purchases, partly offset by principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities. The average yield on investment securities decreased 34 basis points to 1.20 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from 1.54 percent for the same quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in the average yield was primarily attributable to mortgage-backed securities purchases which had lower average yields than the existing portfolio and an accelerated premium amortization resulting from higher prepayments.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") – San Francisco distributed $184,000 of quarterly cash dividends to the Bank, a $21,000 or 13 percent increase from the cash dividends received by the Bank in the same quarter last year.

The average balance of the Company's interest-earning deposits, primarily cash with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, decreased $20.4 million, or 14 percent, to $125.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from $145.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in interest-earning deposits was primarily due to redeployment of excess cash to fund loans held for investment and purchases of investment securities. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 was 0.80 percent, up 30 basis points from 0.50 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2016 as a result of the impact of the increases in the federal funds rate in March 2017 and December 2016.

Average deposits increased $7.7 million, or one percent, to $928.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from $920.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2016. The average cost of deposits decreased by eight basis points to 0.40 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from 0.48 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to decreases in the average cost of transaction accounts and time deposits and a lower percentage of time deposits to the total deposit balance. Transaction account balances or "core deposits" increased $40.3 million, or seven percent, to $657.8 million at March 31, 2017 from $617.5 million at June 30, 2016, while time deposits decreased $28.4 million, or nine percent, to $280.5 million at March 31, 2017 from $308.9 million at June 30, 2016, consistent with the Bank's strategy to decrease the percentage of time deposits in

Page 5 of 20

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 $20.0 million, or 22 percent, to $111.3 million while the average cost of advances decreased 22 basis points to 2.60 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to an average balance of $91.3 million with an average cost of 2.82 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2016. The decrease in the average cost of advances was primarily due to the long-term advances taken in August and September 2016 totaling $20.0 million with an average cost of 1.59 percent, well below the weighted average cost in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The increase in the average balance of fixed-rate long-term advances is consistent with the Bank's management of interest rate risk embedded in the balance sheet.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $165,000 compared to the recovery of $694,000 recorded during the same period of fiscal 2016 and the $350,000 recovery recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 (sequential quarter). These recoveries were primarily attributable to continued improvement in loan credit quality and net recoveries of previously charged-off loans.

Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral primarily located in California, decreased $1.4 million, or 11 percent, to $11.6 million, or 0.97 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2017, compared to $13.0 million, or 1.11 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2016. Non-performing loans at March 31, 2017 decreased $1.5 million or 14 percent since June 30, 2016 to $8.9 million and were primarily comprised of 29 single-

Page 6 of 20

family loans ($8.2 million); one multi-family loan ($372,000); one commercial real estate loan ($201,000); one commercial business loan ($68,000) and one consumer loan (fully reserved). Real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans at March 31, 2017 increased $62,000, or two percent, to $2.8 million (five single-family properties) from $2.7 million (four single-family properties) at June 30, 2016.

Net recoveries for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 were $49,000 or 0.02 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, compared to net recoveries of $126,000 or 0.05 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 and net recoveries of $16,000 or 0.01 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 (sequential quarter).

Classified assets at March 31, 2017 were $18.7 million, comprised of $7.1 million of loans in the special mention category, $8.8 million of loans in the substandard category and $2.8 million in real estate owned. Classified assets at June 30, 2016 were $21.9 million, comprised of $8.9 million of loans in the special mention category, $10.3 million of loans in the substandard category and $2.7 million in real estate owned. For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, no loans were restructured from their original terms or newly classified as a restructured loan.

The allowance for loan losses was $8.3 million at March 31, 2017, or 0.93 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $8.7 million at June 30, 2016, or 1.02 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 March 31, 2017.

Non-interest income decreased by $1.63 million, or 19 percent, to $6.79 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from $8.42 million in the same period of fiscal 2016, primarily as a result of a decrease in the gain on sale of loans, partly offset by a lower net loss on the sale and operations of real estate owned during the current quarter as compared to the comparable period last year. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $1.04 million, or 13 percent, primarily as a result of a decrease in the gain on sale of loans.

The gain on sale of loans decreased to $5.40 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 from $7.15 million in the comparable quarter last year, reflecting the impact of a lower loan sale volume, partly offset by a slightly higher 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 $342.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2017, down $109.5 million or 24 percent, from $451.7 million in the comparable quarter last year. The average loan sale margin from mortgage banking was 158 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2017, up one basis point from 157 basis points in the same quarter last year and up 19 basis points from 139 basis points in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 (sequential quarter). 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 $635,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to a favorable fair-value adjustment that amounted to a net gain of $2.44 million in the same period last year.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, a total of $317.9 million of loans were originated and purchased for sale, 19 percent lower than the $392.9 million for the same period last year, and 41 percent lower than the $541.9 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 (sequential quarter). The loan origination volume has decreased from the previous year because increased mortgage interest rates have reduced refinance activity. Total loans sold during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 were $369.5 million, four percent lower than the $383.6 million sold during the same quarter last year, and 42 percent lower than the $638.5 million sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2017 (sequential quarter). Total loan originations (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans originated and purchased for sale) were $375.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, a decrease of 14 percent from $439.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2016, and 38 percent lower than the $605.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 (sequential quarter).

The sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans resulted in a net loss of $74,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017, compared to a $276,000 net loss in the comparable period last year. One real estate owned property was sold in the quarter ended March 31, 2017 compared to three real estate owned properties sold in the same quarter last year. Two real estate owned properties were acquired in the settlement of loans during the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the same number of properties acquired in the comparable period last year. As of March 31, 2017, the real estate owned balance was $2.8 million (five properties), compared to $2.7 million (four properties) at June 30, 2016.

Non-interest expenses decreased $717,000 to $13.77 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 from $14.49 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily a result of decreases in salaries and employee benefits expense, professional expenses and other non-interest expense. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily related to lower mortgage banking loan originations; while the decrease in professional expenses was attributable to lower legal expenses. The decrease in other non-interest expense was related to a $668,000 reversal of loan origination liability accruals recorded in prior periods and no longer required because the potential exposure was mitigated.

The Company's efficiency ratio remained unchanged at 89 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 as compared to the same quarter last year.

The Company's provision for income taxes was $690,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2017, a decrease of $361,000 or 34 percent, from $1.05 million in the same quarter last year, as a result of the decrease in income before taxes and a lower effective income tax rate. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 was 37.6 percent, down from 41.3 percent in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was attributable to the tax effect of stock-based compensation in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 reflects its current income tax obligations.

The Company repurchased 89,819 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 at an average cost of $18.68 per share. As of March 31, 2017, a total of 207,505 shares or 52 percent of the shares authorized in the May 2016 stock

repurchase plan have been purchased, leaving 189,495 shares available for future purchases.

The Bank currently operates 14 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire). Provident Bank Mortgage operates two wholesale loan production offices and 12 retail loan production offices located throughout California.
