Company Reports $1.14 Million of Net Income in the March 2020 Quarter in Comparison to the $151,000 Net Loss in the March 2019 Quarter

Non-Interest Expense Declines by 42% in the March 2020 Quarter in Comparison to the March 2019 Quarter

Loans Held for Investment Increase 4% to $914.3 Million from June 30, 2019

Non-Performing Assets Decrease 42% to $3.6 Million at March 31, 2020 in Comparison to $6.2 Million at June 30, 2019

RIVERSIDE, Calif., April 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced third quarter earnings results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company reported net income of $1.14 million, or $0.15 per diluted share (on 7.60 million average diluted shares outstanding), in contrast to the net loss of $151,000, or $(0.02) per diluted share (on 7.51 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 lower non-interest expenses (mainly, lower salaries and employee benefits expenses related to fewer employees resulting from the scaling back of saleable single-family loan originations), partly offset by lower non-interest income (mainly, lower gain on sale of loans), a higher provision for loan losses and lower net interest income.

“Like all companies, we began to see the early implications of the COVID-19 pandemic in the March 2020 quarter. As a result, we increased our provision for loan losses, we tightened our underwriting criteria for new loan originations and purchases, and we began developing programs to help those customers who may be impacted by this event,” said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Nonetheless, we remain profitable, strongly capitalized and well-positioned to serve the communities of the Inland Empire,” said Mr. Blunden.

Mr. Blunden went on to say, “We have suspended foreclosure sales, offered late fee waivers and implemented a payment forbearance plan, among other actions. Our branches are open and operating with normal branch hours. We’ve implemented social distancing recommendations, sanitizing and cleaning procedures, and are generally operating under state, county, and city recommendations for essential service providers.”

“Provident plays an important role in the Inland Empire and I specifically wish to recognize and thank our employees who are working diligently to support our customers and communities under difficult circumstances,” Mr. Blunden concluded.

Return on average assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was 0.41 percent in contrast to (0.05) percent for the same period of fiscal 2019; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was 3.70 percent in contrast to (0.49) percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2019.

On a sequential quarter basis, the $1.14 million net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 reflects a $1.26 million or 52 percent decrease from $2.40 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily attributable to an $896,000 higher provision for loan losses, a $749,000 reduction in net interest income and a $243,000 decrease in non-interest income (mainly reflecting $236,000 of lower loan servicing and other fees). Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were $0.15 per share, down 52 percent from the $0.31 per share during the second quarter of fiscal 2020. Return on average assets was 0.41 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 0.87 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2020; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was 3.70 percent, compared to 7.81 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2020.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2020 net income increased $2.48 million, or 68 percent, to $6.11 million from $3.63 million in the comparable period ended March 31, 2019; and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 increased 67 percent to $0.80 per share (on 7.61 million average diluted shares outstanding) from $0.48 per share (on 7.56 million average diluted shares outstanding) for the comparable nine month period last year. Compared to the same period last year, the increase in earnings was primarily attributable to a $13.28 million decrease in non-interest expense; partly offset by a $7.68 million decrease in non-interest income (mainly, a $7.23 million decrease in the gain on sale of loans) and a $1.12 million change in the provision for loan losses to a $671,000 provision from a $450,000 recovery. The decrease in non-interest expense was mainly attributable to a $9.80 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits expenses (primarily related to fewer employees resulting from the scaling back of saleable single-family loan originations) and a $1.30 million decrease in premises and occupancy expenses.

Net interest income decreased $722,000, or eight percent, to $8.89 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $9.61 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2019, attributable to a decrease in the net interest margin, and to a lesser extent, a lower average interest-earning assets balance. The net interest margin during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 23 basis points to 3.30 percent from 3.53 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield of interest-earning assets and a slight increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 22 basis points to 3.87 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from 4.09 percent in the same quarter last year reflecting in part recent significant decreases in the targeted Federal Funds Rate in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by one basis point to 0.64 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from 0.63 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased by $11.3 million, or one percent, to $1.08 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $1.09 billion in the same quarter last year. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $11.1 million, or one percent, to $967.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $979.0 million in the same quarter last year.

The average balance of loans receivable (including loans held for sale in the prior year) increased by $14.5 million, or two percent, to $929.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $915.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to an increase in loans held for investment, partly offset by a decrease in loans held for sale. There were no loans held for sale during the third quarter of fiscal 2020. The average yield on loans receivable decreased by 24 basis points to 4.14 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from an average yield of 4.38 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2019. Net deferred loan cost amortization in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 152% to $451,000 from $179,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2019 due primarily to higher loan payoffs. Total loans originated and purchased for investment in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were $28.8 million, down 35 percent from $44.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2019. Loan principal payments received in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were $55.7 million, up 53 percent from $36.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2019.

The average balance of investment securities decreased by $23.3 million, or 23 percent, to $78.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $101.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2019. The average yield on investment securities increased 11 basis points to 2.43 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from 2.32 percent for the same quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in the average yield was primarily attributable to a lower premium amortization ($99,000 vs. $181,000).

In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Federal Home Loan Bank – San Francisco (“FHLB”) distributed a $144,000 cash dividend to the Bank on its FHLB stock, unchanged from 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 $2.5 million, or four percent, to $61.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $64.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2019. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was 1.20 percent, down 120 basis points from 2.40 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2019 largely as a result of decreases in the targeted Federal Funds Rate since July 2019.

Average deposits decreased $36.4 million, or four percent, to $836.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $873.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to a managed run-off of higher cost time deposits over the last year consistent with the reduction in the Bank’s funding needs resulting from no loans originated for sale during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The average cost of deposits improved, decreasing by three basis points to 0.36 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from 0.39 percent in the same quarter last year.

Transaction account balances or “core deposits” increased slightly to $650.2 million at March 31, 2020 from $648.1 million at June 30, 2019, while time deposits decreased $7.5 million, or four percent, to $185.6 million at March 31, 2020 from $193.1 million at June 30, 2019.

The average balance of borrowings, which consisted of FHLB advances, increased $25.3 million, or 24 percent, to $131.1 million while the average cost of borrowings decreased 17 basis points to 2.44 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to an average balance of $105.8 million with an average cost of 2.61 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in the average balance of borrowings was primarily due to new long-term borrowings with a lower average cost obtained during the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $874,000, up from only $4,000 recorded during the same period of fiscal 2019 and up from the recovery of $22,000 recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 (sequential quarter).The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to a qualitative component established in our allowance for loan losses methodology in response to the COVID-19 pandemic which has negatively impacted the current economic environment.

Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral located in California, decreased $2.6 million, or 42 percent, to $3.6 million, or 0.33 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2020, compared to $6.2 million, or 0.57 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2019. The non-performing loans at March 31, 2020 are comprised of 16 single-family loans ($3.6 million) and one commercial business loan ($34,000). At both March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, there was no real estate owned.

Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 were $15,000 or 0.01 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, similar to net loan recoveries of $15,000 or 0.01 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and net loan recoveries of $14,000 or 0.01 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 (sequential quarter).

Classified assets at March 31, 2020 were $15.1 million, comprised of $11.4 million of loans in the special mention category, $3.7 million of loans in the substandard category and no real estate owned; while classified assets at June 30, 2019 were $16.2 million, comprised of $8.6 million of loans in the special mention category, $7.6 million of loans in the substandard category and no real estate owned.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2020, no new loans were restructured from their original terms and classified as restructured loans. The outstanding balance of restructured loans at March 31, 2020 was $1.8 million (six loans), down 53 percent from $3.8 million (eight loans) at June 30, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, all of the restructured loans were classified as substandard non-accrual. As of March 31, 2020, 39% or $683,000 of the restructured loans have a current payment status.

The allowance for loan losses was $7.8 million at March 31, 2020, or 0.85 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $7.1 million at June 30, 2019, or 0.80 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, 2020.

Non-interest income decreased by $1.95 million, or 64 percent, to $1.10 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $3.05 million in the same period of fiscal 2019, primarily as a result of no loan sales during the current quarter. The gain on sale of loans during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 was $1.72 million. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $243,000, or 18 percent, primarily as a result of a decrease in loan servicing and other loan fees. There were no loans originated for sale during the current or sequential quarters.

Non-interest expenses decreased $5.50 million, or 42 percent, to $7.50 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $13.00 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was due primarily to lower salaries and employee benefits expenses resulting from fewer employees and lesser reductions in premises and occupancy and other non-interest expense consistent with the scaling back of saleable single-family mortgage loan originations. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest expenses remained virtually unchanged, decreasing $49,000 or one percent from $7.55 million.

The Company’s efficiency ratio in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was 75 percent, an improvement from 103 percent in the same quarter last year but an increase from 69 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 (sequential quarter).

The Company’s provision for income tax was $467,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 in contrast to an income tax benefit of $189,000 in the same quarter last year. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was 28.97%. The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 reflects its current federal and state income tax obligations.

The Company repurchased 46,756 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 at an average cost of $18.95 per share. As of March 31, 2020, a total of 118,040 shares or 32 percent of the shares authorized for repurchase under the April 2018 stock repurchase plan were purchased at an average cost of $19.57 per share. The April 2018 stock repurchase plan expired on April 26, 2020.

The Bank currently operates 13 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire).
