SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2013 EARNINGS


Net Income Increases by 274%

Net Charge-Offs Decline by 45%

Non-Performing Assets Decline by 32%

Repurchase of 93,580 Shares of Common Stock

Riverside, Calif. – January 24, 2013 – Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced second quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.
            For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported net income of $6.94 million, or $0.64 per diluted share (on 10.82 million average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $1.85 million, or $0.16 per diluted share (on 11.38 million average shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago.  The increase in net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily attributable to an $11.98 million increase in the gain on sale of loans, a $1.11 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $518,000 increase in the net gain on sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans, partly offset by a $4.29 million increase in

compensation expenses and a $734,000 decrease in net interest income (before provision for loan losses), compared to the same period one year ago.
“We are very pleased with our current operating results and are well-positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities,” said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  “Mortgage banking results remain strong, credit quality continues to improve, and we are beginning to see more held-for-investment lending opportunities.”
As of December 31, 2012, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Tier 1 Leverage, Tier 1 Risk-Based and Total Risk-Based capital ratios of 12.26 percent, 18.79 percent and 20.05 percent, respectively.  As of June 30, 2012, these ratios were 11.26 percent, 17.53 percent and 18.79 percent, respectively.
Return on average assets for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased to 2.21 percent from 0.57 percent for the same period of fiscal 2012, and return on average stockholders’ equity for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 increased to 18.14 percent from 5.19 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2012.
On a sequential quarter basis, the second quarter net income of fiscal 2013 reflects a $1.79 million, or 21 percent, decrease from net income of $8.73 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  The decrease in net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.72 million in the gain on sale of loans and an increase of $569,000 in the provision for income taxes, partly offset by an increase of $522,000 in the net gain on sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans, a decrease of $510,000 in the provision for loan losses and a decrease of $514,000 in compensation expenses, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  The

increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the recovery of an $825,000 tax liability recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, which was not replicated in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.  Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased by 20 percent to $0.64 per share from $0.80 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  Return on average assets decreased to 2.21 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from 2.78 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2013; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 18.14 percent, compared to 23.76 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
For the six months ended December 31, 2012, net income increased to $15.67 million from $4.17 million in the comparable period ended December 31, 2011; and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2012 increased to $1.44 from $0.36 for the comparable six-month period last year.  The return on average assets for the six months ended December 31, 2012 increased to 2.50 percent from 0.64 percent for the comparable six-month period a year earlier.  The return on average stockholders’ equity for the six months ended December 31, 2012 increased to 20.89 percent from 5.87 percent for the comparable six-month period a year earlier.
Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $734,000, or eight percent, to $8.77 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $9.51 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2012, because of a 12 basis point decrease in the net interest margin and a $49.7 million, or four percent, decrease in average interest-earning assets.  Non-interest income increased $12.72 million, or 174 percent, to $20.03 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $7.31 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  Non-interest expense increased $4.30 million, or 34 percent, to $16.77 million in the second

quarter of fiscal 2013 from $12.47 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  The increases in non-interest income and non-interest expense relate primarily to mortgage banking operations.
The average balance of loans outstanding, including loans held for sale, decreased by $117.0 million, or 10 percent, to $1.04 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to $1.15 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  The average yield on loans receivable decreased by 25 basis points to 4.35 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from an average yield of 4.60 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to payoffs of loans which had a higher yield than the average yield of loans held for investment, adjustable rate loans repricing to lower current market interest rates and a lower average yield on loans held for sale.  The average yield on loans held for sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was 3.45 percent as compared to 3.81 percent in the same quarter last year; and the average balance of loans held for sale was $269.2 million and $302.6 million, respectively.  Loans originated and purchased for investment in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 totaled $26.3 million, consisting primarily of multi-family and commercial real estate loans.  The outstanding balance of “preferred loans” (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) decreased by $36.9 million, or nine percent, to $365.4 million at December 31, 2012 from $402.3 million at December 31, 2011.  The percentage of preferred loans to total loans held for investment at December 31, 2012 remained unchanged at 46 percent compared to December 31, 2011 as the outstanding balance of other loans declined at approximately the same rate.  Loan principal payments received in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 were $32.5

million, compared to $32.9 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  In addition, real estate acquired in the settlement of loans (real estate owned), gross of any allowances, in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 declined to $1.7 million, compared to $6.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.
The average balance of investment securities decreased by $3.0 million, or 12 percent, to $21.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $24.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  The decrease was attributable to principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities during the last 12 months.  The average yield on investment securities decreased 15 basis points to 2.02 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from 2.17 percent for the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  The decline in the average yield was primarily attributable to the downward repricing of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities.
In November 2012, the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) – San Francisco announced a partial redemption of excess capital stock held by member banks and a cash dividend.  As a result, a total of $2.0 million of excess capital stock was redeemed at par and a $137,000 cash dividend was received by the Bank in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.  This is comparable to the same quarter last year when the Bank received a $1.2 million stock redemption and a $20,000 cash dividend.
The average balance of the Company’s interest-earning deposits, primarily cash with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, increased $75.2 million, or 131 percent, to $132.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $57.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  The Bank maintains high levels of cash and cash equivalents in response to the uncertain operating environment and to fund its mortgage banking

operations.  The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits was 0.25 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, unchanged from the same period in fiscal 2012 and lower than the yield that could have been earned if the excess liquidity was deployed in loans or investment securities.
Average deposits decreased $5.7 million to $949.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $955.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  The average cost of deposits decreased by 20 basis points to 0.71 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from 0.91 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher costing time deposits repricing to lower current market interest rates and a reduction in rates paid on transaction account balances (“core deposits”).  Core deposits increased by $13.6 million, or three percent, to $509.2 million at December 31, 2012 from $495.6 million at December 31, 2011, consistent with the Bank’s strategy to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the percentage of lower cost checking and savings accounts.  Time deposits decreased $32.3 million, or seven percent, to $426.0 million at December 31, 2012 from $458.3 million at December 31, 2011.
The average balance of borrowings, which consisted of FHLB – San Francisco advances, decreased $59.2 million, or 32 percent, to $126.5 million and the average cost of advances decreased 18 basis points to 3.57 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to an average balance of $185.7 million and an average cost of 3.75 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2012.  The decrease in borrowings was primarily attributable to scheduled maturities.
The net interest margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased 12 basis points to 2.90 percent from 3.02 percent in the same quarter last year.  The decrease

was primarily due to the decline in the average yield of interest-earning assets outpacing the declining cost of liabilities.  The declining yield of interest-earning assets was attributable to the downward repricing of loans and investment securities and a higher level of excess liquidity invested at a nominal yield.  The decline in the average cost of liabilities was primarily due to the downward repricing of deposits to current market interest rates and the decline in the average cost of borrowings as higher costing FHLB advances matured as discussed above.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $23,000, compared to the $1.13 million provision for loan losses during the same period of fiscal 2012 and the $533,000 provision recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (sequential quarter).
Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral primarily located in Southern California, decreased to $26.8 million, or 2.15 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2012, compared to $40.0 million, or 3.17 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2012.  Non-performing loans at December 31, 2012 decreased $10.1 million or 29 percent since June 30, 2012 to $24.4 million and were primarily comprised of 63 single-family loans ($18.4 million); seven commercial real estate loans ($4.2 million); five multi-family loans ($1.6 million); five commercial business loans ($175,000); and one other mortgage loan (fully reserved).  Real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans at December 31, 2012 was primarily comprised of seven single-family properties ($2.0 million), four undeveloped lots ($385,000) and one commercial real estate property (fully reserved).  Net charge-offs for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 were $1.6 million or 0.62 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, compared to $2.9 million or 1.02

percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 and $1.90 million or 0.72 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 (sequential quarter).
Classified assets at December 31, 2012 were $48.7 million, comprised of $6.9 million in the special mention category, $39.4 million in the substandard category and $2.4 million in real estate owned.  Classified assets at June 30, 2012 were $58.5 million, comprised of $4.9 million in the special mention category, $48.1 million in the substandard category and $5.5 million in real estate owned.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, no loans were restructured as compared to the same quarter last year when the Bank modified four loans totaling $1.0 million, which were identified as restructured loans.  As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance of restructured loans was $18.1 million:  six loans were classified as pass, were not included in the classified asset totals described earlier and remain on accrual status ($2.7 million); four loans were classified as special mention and remain on accrual status ($1.7 million); and 32 loans were classified as substandard ($13.6 million; of which, 31 loans totaling $10.8 million are on non-accrual status).  As of December 31, 2012, $9.8 million, or 54 percent, of the restructured loans were current with respect to their payment status.
The allowance for loan losses was $18.5 million at December 31, 2012, or 2.34 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $21.5 million at June 30, 2012, or 2.63 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, 2012.

Non-interest income increased $12.72 million, or 174 percent, to $20.03 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $7.31 million in the same period of fiscal 2012, primarily as a result of an $11.98 million increase in the gain on sale of loans.  On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $2.12 million, or 10 percent, primarily as a result of a $2.72 million decrease in the gain on sale of loans, partly offset by a $522,000 increase in the net gain on sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans.
The gain on sale of loans increased to $17.88 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 from $5.90 million in the comparable quarter last year, reflecting the impact of a higher loan sale volume and a 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 $931.6 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2012, up 63 percent from $570.3 million in the comparable quarter last year.  The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 192 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, compared to 114 basis points in the comparable quarter last year.  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 $(5.07) million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to an unfavorable fair-value adjustment that amounted to a net loss of $(4.72) million in the same period last year.  The gain on sale of loans for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was reduced by a $1.28 million recourse provision for loans sold that are subject to repurchase, compared to a $672,000 recourse provision for loans sold that are subject to

repurchase in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2012.  This increase in the recourse provision includes the December 2012 accrual for a global settlement with the Bank’s largest legacy loan investor, which will eliminate all past, current and future repurchase claims from this particular investor.  This investor purchased approximately 39 percent of the Company’s total loan sale volume from January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2011 and has accounted for approximately 64 percent of all recourse claims paid.  The Company expects to execute the agreement and remit the settlement on or before January 31, 2013.  As of December 31, 2012, the recourse reserve for loans sold that are subject to repurchase was $7.8 million (inclusive of the global settlement), an increase from $5.3 million at December 31, 2011 and $6.2 million at June 30, 2012.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, a total of $1.01 billion of loans were originated and purchased for sale, 60 percent higher than the $628.9 million for the same period last year, and 17 percent higher than the $860.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (sequential quarter).  The loan origination volume remains favorable from a historical perspective as a result of continued liquidity in the secondary mortgage markets particularly in FHA/VA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan products and very low mortgage interest rates.  Total loans sold during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 were $1.01 billion, 50 percent higher than the $674.3 million sold during the same quarter last year, and 29 percent higher than the $787.9 million sold during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (sequential quarter).  Total loan originations (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans originated and purchased for sale) were $1.04 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of 59 percent from

$649.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2012, and 18 percent higher than the $879.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (sequential quarter).
The sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans resulted in a net gain of $595,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to a net gain of $77,000 in the comparable period last year.  Eleven real estate owned properties were sold in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared to 40 real estate owned properties sold in the same quarter last year.  Five real estate owned properties were acquired in the settlement of loans during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, compared to 20 real estate owned properties acquired in the settlement of loans in the comparable period last year.  As of December 31, 2012, the real estate owned balance was $2.4 million (12 properties), compared to $7.8 million (32 properties) at December 31, 2011 and $5.5 million (24 properties) at June 30, 2012.
Non-interest expenses increased $4.30 million, or 34 percent, to $16.77 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from $12.47 million in the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of increases in salaries and employee benefits, premises and occupancy, equipment, and sales and marketing expenses, partly offset by lower professional expenses, deposit insurance premiums and regulatory assessments and other operating expenses.  The increase in salaries and employee benefits, premises and occupancy and sales and marketing expenses was primarily related to the increase in mortgage banking loan production.
The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 58 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from 74 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  The improvement was
 
 
 

Page 11 of 22
 
 
 provident financial holdings, inc.  
  
the result of the increase in non-interest income, outpacing the increase in non-interest expense.
The Company’s provision for income taxes was $5.08 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, an increase of $3.72 million or 274 percent, from $1.36 million in the same quarter last year.  The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 was 42.2 percent as compared to 42.3 percent in the same quarter last year.  The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 reflects its current income tax obligations.
The Company repurchased 93,580 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 at an average cost of $15.47 per share.  As of December 31, 2012, a total of 387,238 shares, or 71 percent, of the shares authorized in the April 2012 stock repurchase plan have been purchased, leaving 160,534 shares available for future purchases.
The Bank currently operates 15 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire).  Provident Bank Mortgage operates two wholesale loan production offices (Pleasanton and Rancho Cucamonga, California) and 16 retail loan production offices located in City of Industry, Escondido, Fairfield, Glendora, Hermosa Beach, Pleasanton, Rancho Cucamonga (2), Riverside (4), Roseville, San Diego, San Rafael and Stockton, California.
