Net Interest Margin Expands by 56 Basis Points Operating Expenses Decline by 13 Percent Capital Ratios Improve (Sequential Quarter) Bank Remains Significantly Above 'Well-Capitalized' Regulatory Thresholds
RIVERSIDE, Calif., July 28, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Company") (Nasdaq:PROV), the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), today announced fourth quarter earnings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of $(1.14) million, a loss of $(0.19) per diluted share (on 6.17 million weighted-average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $1.83 million, or $0.28 per diluted share (on 6.44 million weighted-average shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The loss in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses and a decrease in non-interest income, partly offset by an increase in net interest income and a decrease in compensation expense. The decrease in weighted-average shares outstanding primarily reflects prior period repurchases of common stock through the Company's stock repurchase programs.
"The Company continues to take the necessary steps to withstand the current operating environment," said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We will be well positioned to take advantage of more favorable business conditions once the current credit cycle runs its course."
Return on average assets for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was negative (0.28) percent, compared to 0.43 percent for the same period of fiscal 2007. Return on average stockholders' equity for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was negative (3.62) percent, compared to 5.59 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2007.
On a sequential quarter basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by $2.10 million, or 219 percent, to a net loss of $(1.14) million from net income of $957,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2008; and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.34, or 227 percent, to a loss of $(0.19) from a gain of $0.15 in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Return on average assets decreased 51 basis points to negative (0.28) percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from 0.23 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and return on average equity for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was negative (3.62) percent, compared to 2.99 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, net income was $1.47 million, a decrease of 86 percent from net income of $10.45 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007; and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $1.33, or 85 percent, to $0.24 from $1.57 for the prior fiscal year. Return on average assets for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased 52 basis points to 0.09 percent from 0.61 percent for the prior fiscal year. Return on average stockholders' equity for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was 1.15 percent, compared to 7.77 percent for the prior fiscal year.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $1.94 million, or 20 percent, to $11.78 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from $9.84 million for the same period in fiscal 2007. Non-interest income decreased $1.79 million, or 81 percent, to $427,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from $2.21 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2007. Non-interest expense decreased $1.20 million, or 13 percent, to $7.74 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from $8.94 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2007.
The average balance of loans outstanding decreased by $41.7 million to $1.41 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from $1.46 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2007, and the average yield decreased by 20 basis points to 6.07 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from an average yield of 6.27 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to accrued interest income reversals on non-accrual loans and loan payoffs which had a higher average yield than the average yield of loans held for investment, partly offset by higher interest rates on newly originated loans and the upwardly repricing adjustable rate loans in the loans held for investment portfolio. Total loans originated for investment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were $30.1 million, which consisted primarily of single-family and multi-family loans. This compares to total loans originated for investment of $56.3 million (including $2.1 million of loans purchased for investment) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The outstanding balance of "preferred loans" (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) increased by $46.7 million, or nine percent, to $569.6 million at June 30, 2008 from $522.9 million at June 30, 2007. The ratio of preferred loans to total loans held for investment increased to 41 percent at June 30, 2008 compared to 38 percent at June 30, 2007. Loan principal payments received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 were $66.4 million, compared to $103.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.
Average deposits increased by $32.4 million to $1.02 billion while the average cost of deposits decreased by 57 basis points to 3.01 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to an average balance of $989.6 million and an average cost of 3.58 percent in the same quarter last year. Transaction account balances (core deposits) decreased by $4.1 million, or one percent, to $348.7 million at June 30, 2008 from $352.8 million at June 30, 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable to an $8.2 million, or five percent, decline in savings account balances. Time deposits increased by $15.1 million, or two percent, to $663.7 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $648.6 million at June 30, 2007. The increase in time deposits is primarily attributable to depositors switching from savings deposits to time deposits. Also, it should be noted, that the Company does not have any brokered deposits.
The average balance of borrowings, which primarily consists of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of San Francisco advances, decreased $79.9 million to $478.7 million and the average cost of advances decreased 84 basis points to 3.80 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to an average balance of $558.6 million and an average cost of 4.64 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in the average cost of borrowings was primarily the result of maturing long-term advances which had a higher average cost than the average cost of new advances. Additionally, short-term advance interest rates have fallen as a result of Federal Open Market Committee actions.
The net interest margin during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 56 basis points to 2.93 percent from 2.37 percent during the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter basis, the net interest margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 24 basis points from 2.69 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded a loan loss provision of $5.80 million, compared to a loan loss recovery of $490,000 during the same period of fiscal 2007. The loan loss provision in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to loan classification downgrades in the loans held for investment portfolio and deterioration in the real estate collateral values securing those loans.
Non-performing assets increased to $33.0 million, or 2.02 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2008, compared to $27.3 million, or 1.63 percent of total assets at March 31, 2008 and $19.7 million, or 1.20 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2007. The non-performing assets at June 30, 2008 were primarily comprised of 52 single-family loans originated for investment ($15.7 million), 12 construction loans originated for investment ($4.7 million), 12 single-family loans repurchased from, or unable to sell to investors ($2.1 million) and real estate owned comprised of 30 single-family properties, one multi-family property and 14 lots acquired in the settlement of loans ($9.4 million). Net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $3.14 million or 0.89 percent of average loans receivable, compared to $3.58 million or 1.02 percent of average loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and $402,000 or 0.11 percent of average loans receivable in the comparable quarter last year.
Classified loans at June 30, 2008 were $59.7 million, comprised of $29.4 million in the special mention category and $30.3 million in the substandard category. Classified loans at June 30, 2007 were $32.3 million, consisting of $13.3 million in the special mention category and $19.0 million in the substandard category.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, six loans for $1.2 million were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten at current market interest rates and were identified in our asset quality reports as Restructured Loans. As of June 30, 2008, a total of $10.5 million of loans have been modified: six are classified as pass ($2.3 million); 13 are classified as special mention and remain on accrual status ($4.0 million); eight are classified as substandard and remain on accrual status ($2.8 million); and five are classified as substandard on non-accrual status ($1.4 million).
The allowance for loan losses was $19.4 million at June 30, 2008, or 1.40 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $14.8 million, or 1.09 percent of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2007. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2008 includes $6.0 million of specific loan loss reserves, compared to $3.3 million of specific loan loss reserves at June 30, 2007. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment.
The decrease in non-interest income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period of fiscal 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in brokered and other loan fees, a net loss on sale of loans and net losses on the sale and operations of real estate owned properties acquired in the settlement of loans, partly offset by an increase in deposit account fees.
The net loss on sale of loans was $(216,000) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a net gain of $601,000 in the comparable quarter last year. The loss on sale of loans was primarily attributable to a $1.28 million recourse provision on loans sold that are subject to repurchase, resulting from early payment defaults or fraud. Total loans sold for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were $104.3 million, down 53 percent from $221.6 million for the same quarter last year. The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was negative (20) basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to positive 31 basis points in the comparable quarter last year. The mortgage banking environment remains highly competitive and volatile as a result of the well-publicized deterioration of the single-family real estate market.
The volume of loans originated for sale decreased $74.5 million, or 40 percent, to $114.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from $188.5 million during the same period last year. Total loan originations (including loans originated for investment, loans purchased for investment and loans originated for sale) were $144.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $100.7 million, or 41 percent, from $244.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in loan originations was primarily attributable to the lack of liquidity in the secondary mortgage markets particularly for non-conforming mortgage loans and the unfavorable real estate environment.
Fifteen real estate owned properties were sold for a net loss of $(462,000) in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared to two real estate owned properties sold for a net gain of $1,000 in the same quarter last year. As of June 30, 2008, the real estate owned balance was $9.4 million (45 properties), compared to $3.8 million (10 properties) at June 30, 2007.
The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily the result of decreases in compensation, premises and occupancy and marketing, partly offset by increases in equipment, professional expenses and other operating expenses. The decrease in compensation expense was the result of the fewer number of mortgage banking personnel in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2007, lower incentive compensation expenses given the decline in loan origination volume and lower ESOP expenses compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2007. Total ESOP expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased $314,000, or 57%, to $234,000 from $548,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007, resulting from a lower average stock price and fewer shares allocated. The decrease in premises and occupancy expense was primarily related to the closure of six Provident Bank Mortgage loan production offices during the first half of fiscal 2008, while the increase in professional expenses was primarily related to higher legal expenses corresponding to the increase in delinquent loans. The increase in other operating expenses was a result of an increase in FDIC deposit insurance premiums, partly offset by a decrease in workers' compensation insurance premiums.
The Company's efficiency ratio improved to 63 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 from 74 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The improvement was the net result of an increase in net interest income, a decrease in non-interest income and a decrease non-interest expense.
The effective income tax benefit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 was 14.6 percent, compared to the effective income tax provision of 49.3 percent in the same quarter last year. The lower tax benefit (as compared to the tax provision) was primarily the result of a higher percentage of permanent tax differences relative to income before taxes and an additional tax provision of $348,000 on a disallowed deduction in the fiscal 2006 tax return which was discovered during the ongoing examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company believes that the effective income tax benefit applied in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 reflects its current income tax obligations.
The Company did not repurchase any of its common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2008. For fiscal 2008, the Company repurchased 187,081 shares (59 percent of the shares authorized by the June 2007 stock repurchase program) with an average cost of $21.78 per share and the June 2007 program expired on June 25, 2008. The Corporation announced a new stock repurchase program of up to five percent of its common stock (approximately 310,385 shares) on June 26, 2008.
As of June 30, 2008 the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and is deemed "well-capitalized" with Tangible Capital, Core Capital, Total Risk-Based Capital and Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratios of 7.23 percent, 7.23 percent, 12.30 percent and 11.05 percent, respectively. These ratios have improved from 7.09 percent, 7.09 percent, 11.98 percent and 10.80 percent, respectively, at March 31, 2008 and are well above the minimum ratios to be deemed "well-capitalized" (5.00 percent for Core Capital, 10.00 percent for Total Risk-Based Capital and 6.00 percent for Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital).
The Bank currently operates 13 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire).
