The Company Reports Net Income of $3.34 Million in the June 2021 Quarter

Loans Held for Investment Increase 1% from March 31, 2021 to $851.0 Million

Total Deposits Increase 5% from June 30, 2020 to $938.0 Million

Improved Asset Quality with a $767,000 Recovery from the Allowance for Loan Losses

Non-Interest Expenses Remain Well-Controlled

RIVERSIDE, Calif., July 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced fourth quarter and full year earnings results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported net income of $3.34 million, or $0.44 per diluted share (on 7.59 million average diluted shares outstanding), up 111 percent from net income of $1.58 million, or $0.21 per diluted share (on 7.49 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 $1.22 million improvement in the provision for loan losses to a recovery from a provision for loan losses and a $1.68 million decrease in non-interest expenses (mainly, lower salaries and employee benefits expenses), partly offset by lower net interest income.

“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. “We believe Provident is well-positioned to benefit from improving conditions and I am confident 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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was 1.12 percent, up from 0.55 percent for the same period of fiscal 2020; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was 10.65 percent, up from 5.14 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2020.

On a sequential quarter basis, the $3.34 million net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 reflects a 114 percent increase from $1.56 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily attributable to a $1.99 million decrease in non-interest expenses and a $567,000 increase in the recovery from the allowance for loan losses. Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $0.44 per share, up 110 percent from the $0.21 per share during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Return on average assets was 1.12 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up from 0.53 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2021; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was 10.65 percent, up from 4.99 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 net income decreased $128,000, or two percent, to $7.56 million from $7.69 million in the comparable period ended June 30, 2020; and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 decreased one percent to $1.00 per share (on 7.54 million average diluted shares outstanding) from $1.01 per share (on 7.58 million average diluted shares outstanding) for the comparable period last year. Compared to the same period last year, the decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to a $5.76 million decrease in net interest income; partly offset by a $3.17 million decrease in non-interest expenses (mainly, a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expenses) and a $1.83 million improvement in the provision for loan losses to a recovery from a provision for loan losses.

Net interest income decreased $912,000, or 11 percent, to $7.38 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $8.29 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2020, attributable to a decrease in the net interest margin, partly offset by a higher average interest-earning assets balance. The net interest margin during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 41 basis points to 2.54 percent from 2.95 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets reflecting primarily downward pressure on adjustable rate instruments as a result of decreases in market interest rates over the last year and originations and purchases of new loans held for investment and purchases of investment securities at lower market yields, partly offset by a much smaller decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased by 59 basis points to 2.87 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from 3.46 percent in the same quarter last year while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 20 basis points to 0.37 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from 0.57 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $39.9 million, or four percent, to $1.16 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $1.12 billion in the same quarter last year due primarily to purchases of investment securities, partly offset by a decrease in loans receivable and interest-earning deposits (primarily federal funds).

The average balance of loans receivable decreased by $45.9 million, or five percent, to $848.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $894.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2020. The average yield on loans receivable decreased by 43 basis points to 3.65 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from an average yield of 4.08 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2020. Net deferred loan cost amortization in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 increased to $752,000 from $495,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2020. Total loans originated and purchased for investment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $93.3 million, up 111 percent from $44.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2020. Loan principal payments received in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $79.9 million, up 41 percent from $56.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2020 reflecting primarily increased refinance activity of single-family loans in the current low interest rate environment.

The average balance of investment securities increased by $150.9 million, or 177 percent, to $236.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $85.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2020 as excess liquidity earning a nominal yield was deployed into higher earning assets. The average yield on investment securities decreased 136 basis points to 0.80 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from 2.16 percent for the same quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in the average yield was primarily attributable to investment security purchases with a lower average yield than the legacy portfolio of investment securities, reflecting the current low interest rate environment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Bank did not purchase any investment securities; but for fiscal 2021, the Bank purchased investment securities totaling $154.2 million with an average yield of approximately 0.82 percent.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Federal Home Loan Bank – San Francisco (“FHLB”) distributed a $118,000 cash dividend to the Bank on its FHLB stock, up $16,000 or 16 percent from $102,000 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 $65.2 million, or 48 percent, to $69.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $135.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2020 primarily as a result of purchases of investment securities, new loan originations and purchases of loans held for investment outpacing deposit growth and loan repayments. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was 0.11 percent, unchanged from the same quarter of fiscal 2020.

Average deposits increased $63.4 million, or seven percent, to $939.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $875.6 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2020, primarily due to increases in transaction accounts resulting primarily from government stimulus programs related to the COVID-19 pandemic, partly offset by a managed run-off of higher cost time deposits. The average cost of deposits improved, decreasing by 15 basis points to 0.15 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from 0.30 percent in the same quarter last year.

Transaction account balances or “core deposits” increased $74.5 million, or 10 percent, to $797.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $723.0 million at June 30, 2020, while time deposits decreased $29.6 million, or 17 percent, to $140.4 million at June 30, 2021 from $170.0 million at June 30, 2020.

The average balance of borrowings, which consisted of FHLB advances, decreased $27.1 million, or 20 percent, to $110.8 million while the average cost of borrowings decreased eight basis points to 2.24 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to an average balance of $137.9 million with an average cost of 2.32 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2020. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings was primarily due to prepayments and maturities of borrowings.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $767,000, in contrast to a $448,000 provision for loan losses recorded during the same period of fiscal 2020 and a $200,000 recovery from the allowance for loan losses recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 (sequential quarter). The recovery from the allowance for loan losses for the current quarter primarily reflects an improved economic outlook as of June 30, 2021, reducing the expected impact of the pandemic to the credit quality of the loan portfolio, partly offset by an increase in loan 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, increased $3.7 million or 76 percent to $8.6 million, or 0.73 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2021, compared to $4.9 million, or 0.42 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2020 but declined from $9.8 million, or 0.82 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2021 (sequential quarter). The non-performing loans at June 30, 2021 are comprised of 27 single-family loans and one multi-family loan. At both June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, there was no real estate owned.

Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 were $8,000 or 0.00 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, as compared to net loan recoveries of $7,000 or 0.00 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and net loan recoveries of $8,000 or 0.00 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 (sequential quarter).

Classified assets, comprised solely of loans, were $10.4 million at June 30, 2021, including $1.8 million of loans in the special mention category and $8.6 million of loans in the substandard category; while classified assets at June 30, 2020 were $14.1 million, including $8.6 million of loans in the special mention category and $5.5 million of loans in the substandard category.

The Bank received requests from borrowers for some type of payment relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Loans that were current on their payments prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and modified by deferred payments, are not considered to be troubled debt restructurings pursuant to applicable accounting guidance consistent with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 or CARES Act and related bank regulatory guidance. The primary method of relief is to allow the borrower to defer loan payments for up to an initial six-month period, although we have also waived late fees and suspended foreclosure proceedings. Loans in which their payments are deferred beyond the initial six months are no longer in forbearance and are subsequently classified as troubled debt restructuring. The Bank ended the loan forbearance program on March 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, loans in forbearance included three single-family loans with outstanding balances of approximately $897,000 or 0.11 percent of gross loans held for investment and one commercial real estate loan with an outstanding balance of $945,000 or 0.11 percent of gross loans held for investment. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank had no pending requests for payment relief. Interest income is recognized during the forbearance period unless the loans are classified as non-performing. After the payment deferral period, scheduled loan payments will once again become due and payable. The forbearance amount will be due and payable in full as a balloon payment at the end of the loan term or sooner if the loan becomes due and payable in full at an earlier date. The Company believes the steps it is taking are necessary to effectively manage the loan portfolio and assist its customers through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, two COVID-19 related forbearance loans were restructured while two restructured loans were paid off. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, 19 loans previously in a COVID-19 related payment forbearance and one pass loan were restructured and classified as restructured loans, while two restructured loans were upgraded to the pass category and three loans were paid off. The outstanding balance of restructured loans at June 30, 2021 was $7.9 million (23 loans) up from $2.6 million (eight loans) at June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, a total of $7.0 million or 89 percent of the restructured loans were classified as substandard non-accrual and $7.7 million or 97 percent of the restructured loans have a current payment status consistent with their restructuring terms.

The allowance for loan losses was $7.6 million or 0.88 percent of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2021, down from the $8.3 million or 0.91 percent of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2020. 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 June 30, 2021 under the incurred loss methodology.

Non-interest income increased by $236,000, or 23 percent, to $1.24 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $1.01 million in the same period of fiscal 2020, primarily due to increases in card and processing fees and loan servicing and other fees (resulting from higher loan prepayment fees). On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income increased $42,000, or four percent, primarily as a result of an increase in card and processing fees, partly offset by decreases in loan servicing and other fees and deposit account fees.

Non-interest expenses decreased $1.68 million, or 25 percent, to $4.92 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $6.60 million in the same quarter last year due primarily to lower salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from a $2.44 million credit for the Employee Retention Tax Credit (“ERTC”), partly offset by a $373,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $532,000 reversal of the incentive bonus expense in the fourth quarter last year (not replicated in this current quarter). 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. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest expenses decreased $1.99 million, or 29 percent, to $4.92 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 from $6.91 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 due primarily to lower salaries and employee benefits expense resulting from the $2.44 million credit for the ERTC, partly offset by a $409,000 increase in stock-based compensation expense.

The Company’s efficiency ratio in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was 57 percent, significantly improved from 71 percent in the same quarter last year and from 80 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 (sequential quarter), primarily attributable to the ERTC credit.

The Company’s provision for income tax was $1.12 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, up 70 percent from $660,000 in the same quarter last year primarily due to higher net income before the provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 was 25.2 percent, lower than 29.4 percent in the same quarter last year, attributable to the tax benefits from the exercise of stock options and the non-taxable treatment of the ERTC for state tax purposes. The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 reflects its current federal and state income tax obligations.

The Company repurchased 50,275 shares of its common stock with an average cost of $16.68 per share during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 pursuant to its stock repurchase plan. As of June 30, 2021, a total of 266,833 shares or 72 percent of the shares authorized for repurchase under the April 2020 stock repurchase plan remain available to purchase until the plan expires on April 30, 2022. In addition, the Company purchased 31,553 shares at $17.40 per share from employees to fund their withholding tax obligations resulting from restricted stock distributions.

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

The Company will host a conference call for institutional investors and bank analysts on Thursday, July 29, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. (Pacific) to discuss its financial results.
