SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2019 RESULTS
Pre-Tax Earnings Increase by 13% in Comparison to the Prior Sequential Quarter
Net Interest Margin Expands 46 Basis Points to 3.54% in the December 2018 Quarter
in Comparison to the December 2017 Quarter and by 24 Basis Points in Comparison to the Prior Sequential Quarter
Classified Assets Decrease 19% to $12.8 Million at December 31, 2018 in Comparison to $15.8 Million at June 30, 2018
Riverside, Calif. – January 28, 2019 – Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Company"), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), today announced second quarter earnings results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, the Company reported net income of $1.96 million, or $0.26 per diluted share (on 7.60 million average diluted shares outstanding), a significant improvement from the net loss of $777,000, or $(0.10) per diluted share (on 7.57 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) the one-time, non-cash, net tax charge of $1.84 million, or $(0.24) per diluted share, from the net deferred tax assets revaluation required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017 which lowered the federal corporate income tax rate (not replicated this quarter), (b) the $650,000 litigation reserve which, net

of tax benefit, reduced net results by approximately $(0.06) per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 (not replicated this quarter), (c) a $1.08 million increase in net interest income, a $1.42 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense and the application of the lower statutory income tax rate (blended federal and state) of 29.56% this quarter as compared to the blended tax rate of 35.86% the same quarter last year; partly offset by a $2.06 million decrease in the gain on sale of loans.
"Pre-tax earnings continue to improve on the strength of our community banking business and our outlook for the business remains favorable. Our net interest margin continues to expand, credit quality in our loan portfolios is strong, and we are well-capitalized to support our growth goals and capital initiatives," said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "However, ongoing deterioration in mortgage banking fundamentals, attributable to a decrease in volume primarily as a result of higher mortgage interest rates and lower refinance activity, and more recently, lower home purchase volume, has resulted in unprofitable mortgage banking operations. Consequently, we are evaluating the changes we need to make to our mortgage banking business model," Mr. Blunden concluded.
Return (loss) on average assets for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 increased to 0.69 percent from (0.27) percent for the same period of fiscal 2018; and return (loss) on average stockholders' equity for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 increased to 6.42 percent from (2.50) percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2018.
On a sequential quarter basis, the $1.96 million net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 reflects a $135,000, or seven percent improvement from the net income of $1.82 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in earnings for the second

Page 2 of 22

quarter of fiscal 2019 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was primarily attributable to a $474,000 increase in net interest income and a $1.04 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits expenses, partly offset by an $869,000 decrease in the gain on sale of loans and a $194,000 increase in income tax expense resulting from higher net income before taxes. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 were $0.26 per share, up eight percent from the $0.24 per share during the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Return on average assets increased to 0.69 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from 0.63 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2019; and return on average stockholders' equity for the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was 6.42 percent, compared to 6.03 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
For the six months ended December 31, 2018 net income increased $4.78 million, or 478 percent, to $3.78 million from a net loss of $1.00 million in the comparable period ended December 31, 2017; and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the six months ended December 31, 2018 increased 485 percent to $0.50 per share (on 7.58 million average diluted shares outstanding) from $(0.13) per share (on 7.63 million average diluted shares outstanding) for the comparable six month period last year. Compared to the same period last year, the increase in earnings was primarily attributable to (a) the one-time, non-cash, net tax charge of $1.84 million, or $(0.24) per diluted share, from the net deferred tax assets revaluation required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act consistent with the lower corporate federal income tax rate applied in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 (not replicated this quarter), (b) the $3.4 million litigation reserve which, net of tax benefit, reduced net results by approximately $(0.29) per diluted share in the first six months of fiscal 2018 (not replicated this current period), (c) a $1.32 million increase in net interest

income, a $2.44 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense and the application of the lower statutory blended income tax rate of 29.56% this current period as compared to the blended tax rate of 35.86% the same period last year; partly offset by a $3.77 million decrease in the gain on sale of loans.
Net interest income increased $1.08 million, or 12 percent, to $9.83 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $8.75 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2018, attributable to an increase in the net interest margin, partly offset by a lower average interest-earning assets balance. The net interest margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2019 increased 46 basis points to 3.54 percent from 3.08 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to an increase in the average yield of interest-earning assets, partly offset by a small increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was augmented by $159,000 of previously unrecognized loan interest income resulting from the payoff of two non-performing loans and the $133,000 special cash dividend received on FHLB San Francisco stock, which increased the net interest margin by approximately 10 basis points for the quarter. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased by 48 basis points to 4.12 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from 3.64 percent in the same quarter last year and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by two basis points to 0.64 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from 0.62 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased by $27.7 million, or two percent, to $1.11 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $1.14 billion in the same quarter last year. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by

Page 4 of 22

$27.0 million, or three percent, to $1.00 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $1.03 billion in the same quarter last year.
The average balance of loans receivable, including loans held for sale, decreased by $49.7 million, or five percent, to $941.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $990.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to decreases in both the average balance of loans held for sale (attributable to a decrease in mortgage banking activity, primarily as a result of higher mortgage interest rates and lower refinance volume, and more recently, home purchase volume) and loans held for investment. The average yield on loans receivable increased by 46 basis points to 4.39 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from an average yield of 3.93 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2018 reflecting the rise in interest rates over the last year. The average yield on loans receivable in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 includes $159,000 of previously unrecognized interest income resulting from the payoff of two non-performing loans, which increased the yield by approximately seven basis points for the quarter. Also, the increase in the average loan yield was attributable to increases in both the average yield of loans held for investment and loans held for sale. The average balance of loans held for sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $63.0 million with an average yield of 4.86 percent, down from $100.7 million with an average yield of 3.91 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. The average balance of loans held for investment in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was $878.2 million with an average yield of 4.36 percent, down from $890.2 million with an average yield of 3.93 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. Loan principal payments received in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 were $41.2 million, compared to $57.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2018.

Page 5 of 22

The average balance of investment securities increased by $4.9 million, or six percent, to $93.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $88.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to mortgage-backed securities purchases, partly offset by principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities. The average yield on investment securities increased 46 basis points to 1.90 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from 1.44 percent for the same quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in the average yield was primarily attributable to mortgage-backed securities purchases which had higher average yields than the existing portfolio and the repricing of variable rate investment securities to higher market interest rates.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") – San Francisco distributed $278,000 of quarterly cash dividends to the Bank, 94 percent higher than the $143,000 received in the same quarter last year, primarily attributable to a special cash dividend of $133,000 received in December 2018.
The average balance of the Company's interest-earning deposits, primarily cash with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, increased $17.1 million, or 34 percent, to $67.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $50.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. The increase in interest-earning deposits was primarily due to the decrease in the loans receivable balance, partly offset by purchases of investment securities. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was 2.23 percent, up 93 basis points from 1.30 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2018 as a result of the impact of the increases in the targeted federal funds rate over the last year.

Page 6 of 22

Average deposits decreased $26.6 million, or three percent, to $889.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $916.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. The average cost of deposits remained relatively stable, increasing by two basis points to 0.40 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from 0.38 percent in the same quarter last year. Transaction account balances or "core deposits" decreased $20.8 million, or three percent, to $649.2 million at December 31, 2018 from $670.0 million at June 30, 2018, while time deposits decreased $13.9 million, or six percent, to $223.7 million at December 31, 2018 from $237.6 million at June 30, 2018, consistent with the Bank's strategy to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base.
The average balance of borrowings, which consisted of FHLB – San Francisco advances, decreased slightly to $111.1 million and the average cost of FHLB advances decreased four basis points to 2.55 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to an average balance of $111.5 million with an average cost of 2.59 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2018. The decrease in the average cost of advances was primarily due to the maturity of a long-term advance which was renewed at a lower interest rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $217,000, as compared to a recovery of $11,000 recorded during the same period of fiscal 2018 and a recovery of $237,000 recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (sequential quarter). The recovery from the allowance for loan losses in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was primarily attributable to recoveries related to the payoff of two non-performing loans totaling $97,000.

Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral located in California, decreased $901,000, or 13 percent, to $6.1 million, or 0.54 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2018, compared to $7.0 million, or 0.59 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2018. Non-performing loans remained relatively unchanged at $6.1 million at both December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018. The non-performing loans at December 31, 2018 are comprised of 20 single-family loans ($5.3 million), one construction loan ($745,000) and one commercial business loan ($47,000). At December 31, 2018, there was no outstanding real estate owned as compared to $906,000 at June 30, 2018.
Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were $123,000 or 0.05 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, compared to net loan recoveries of $23,000 or 0.01 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and net loan recoveries of $7,000 or zero percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 (sequential quarter).
Classified assets at December 31, 2018 were $12.8 million, comprised of $5.3 million of loans in the special mention category, $7.5 million of loans in the substandard category and no real estate owned; while classified assets at June 30, 2018 were $15.8 million, comprised of $7.5 million of loans in the special mention category, $7.4 million of loans in the substandard category and $906,000 in real estate owned.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2018, no new loans were restructured from their original terms and classified as restructured loans, while one restructured loan was paid off and one restructured loan was renewed. The outstanding balance of restructured loans at December 31, 2018 was $4.2 million (nine loans), down 19 percent from $5.2 million (11 loans) at June 30, 2018, and down 13 percent from $4.8 million (10 loans) at

Page 8 of 22

September 30, 2018 (sequential quarter). As of December 31, 2018, one restructured loan was classified as substandard accrual ($1.4 million) and eight loans were classified as substandard non-accrual ($2.8 million).
The allowance for loan losses was $7.1 million at December 31, 2018, or 0.80 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $7.4 million at June 30, 2018, or 0.81 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 December 31, 2018.
Non-interest income decreased by $2.14 million, or 37 percent, to $3.60 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $5.74 million in the same period of fiscal 2018, primarily as a result of a decrease in the gain on sale of loans during the current quarter as compared to the comparable period last year. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $954,000, or 21 percent, primarily as a result of a decline in the gain on sale of loans.
The gain on sale of loans decreased $2.06 million, or 48 percent, to $2.26 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 from $4.32 million in the comparable quarter last year (reflecting the impact of a lower loan sale volume, partly offset by a higher average loan sale margin) and decreased $869,000 or 28 percent from the quarter ended September 30, 2018 (sequential quarter). Total loan sale volume, which includes the net change in commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, was $131.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2018, down $156.5 million or 54 percent, from $287.8 million in the comparable quarter last year and decreased $50.5 million or 28 percent from $181.8 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2018 (sequential quarter). The

Page 9 of 22

average loan sale margin from mortgage banking was 172 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, an increase of 23 basis points from 149 basis points in the same quarter last year, and two basis points higher than the 170 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (sequential quarter). The increase in the average loan sale margin was the result of a higher percentage of retail loan production (which generally has higher loan sale margins) versus wholesale loan production and maintaining pricing discipline throughout the 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 $674,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, compared to an unfavorable fair-value adjustment that amounted to a net loss of $1.30 million in the same period last year and an unfavorable fair-value adjustment that amounted to a net loss of $489,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (sequential quarter).
In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, $146.4 million of loans were originated for sale, 56 percent lower than the $331.9 million for the same period last year, and 25 percent lower than the $196.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (sequential quarter). The loan origination volume has decreased from the previous year as a result of higher mortgage interest rates which has reduced mortgage banking volume. Total loans sold during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 were $167.5 million, 54 percent lower than the $361.4 million sold during the same quarter last year, and 21 percent lower than the $211.8 million sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (sequential quarter). Total loan originations (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans

Page 10 of 22

originated for sale) were $185.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, a decrease of 49 percent from $366.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2018, and 20 percent lower than the $233.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (sequential quarter).
Non-interest expenses decreased $2.33 million, or 18 percent, to $10.88 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 from $13.21 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.42 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense and an $846,000 decrease in other non-interest expense (primarily due to the $650,000 litigation settlement expense recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and not replicated this quarter). The decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily related to lower variable compensation resulting from lower mortgage banking loan originations and staff reductions in mortgage banking operations. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest expenses decreased $829,000 or seven percent from $11.70 million, primarily as a result of a $1.04 million decrease in salaries and employment benefits expense (attributable primarily to the vesting of certain stock options and restricted stock awards in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, not replicated this quarter and the lower variable compensation resulting from lower mortgage banking loan originations and staff reductions in mortgage banking operations), partly offset by a $152,000 increase in other non-interest expenses.
The Company's efficiency ratio in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 was 81 percent, an improvement from 91 percent in the same quarter last year and 84 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (sequential quarter).
The Company's income tax provision was $810,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2019, down $1.26 million, or 61 percent, from $2.07 million in the same quarter

Page 11 of 22

last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the one-time, non-cash, net tax charge of $1.84 million from the net deferred tax assets revaluation required by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act consistent with the lower federal corporate income tax rate which was first applied in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 reflects its current income tax obligations.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the existing stock repurchase plan during the quarter ended December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, a total of 373,000 shares under the April 2018 stock repurchase plan remain available for future purchase.
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 nine retail loan production offices located throughout California.
