Provident Financial Holdings (PROV) reported net income of $1.90 million ($0.28 per diluted share) for Q1 FY2025, up 8% from $1.76 million year-over-year but down 3% sequentially. The net interest margin was 2.84%, up 10 basis points from the previous quarter. Total loans held for investment remained stable at $1.05 billion, while deposits decreased 3% to $863.9 million. The company benefited from a $697,000 recovery of credit losses and improved credit quality with non-performing assets ratio decreasing to 0.17%. The increase in earnings was partially offset by higher non-interest expenses and a decrease in net interest income.

L'aumento degli utili è stato parzialmente compensato da spese non di interesse più elevate e da una diminuzione del reddito da interessi netti.

Provident Financial Holdings (PROV) meldete für das 1. Quartal des Geschäftsjahres 2025 einen Nettogewinn von 1,90 Millionen Dollar (0,28 Dollar pro verwässerter Aktie), was einem Anstieg von 8 % im Vergleich zu 1,76 Millionen Dollar im Vorjahr entspricht, aber einen Rückgang von 3 % im Vergleich zum Vorquartal darstellt.

Das Unternehmen profitierte von einer Rückforderung von 697.000 Dollar aus Kreditverlusten und verbesserte die Kreditqualität, da das Verhältnis der notleidenden Forderungen auf 0,17 % sank.

Insights

Provident Financial Holdings reported mixed Q1 FY2025 results with some concerning trends despite positive headline numbers. While net income increased 8% year-over-year to $1.90 million, there are notable headwinds:

  • Net interest margin compressed to 2.84%, down 4 basis points YoY, with funding costs rising faster than asset yields
  • Average interest-earning assets declined 4% to $1.22 billion
  • Efficiency ratio deteriorated significantly to 79.06% from 69.32% YoY due to higher operating expenses
  • Non-interest expenses increased 10% YoY primarily due to higher compensation costs

The $697,000 recovery of credit losses helped offset some pressures, but core business metrics show strain. The declining deposit base and rising funding costs could continue to pressure margins despite management's optimism about the yield curve normalization.

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- October 28, 2024 – Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced earnings for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

The Company reported net income of $1.90 million, or $0.28 per diluted share (on 6.86 million average diluted shares outstanding), for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, up eight percent from net income of $1.76 million, or $0.25 per diluted share (on 7.03 million average diluted shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The increase in earnings was due primarily to a $697,000 recovery of credit losses, in contrast to a $545,000 provision for credit losses in the comparable period a year ago, and a $148,000 increase in non-interest income, partly offset by a $667,000 increase in non-interest expenses (primarily attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits) and a $523,000 decrease in net interest income (primarily attributable to a lower net interest margin and lower interest-earning assets).

“I am pleased with our first quarter fiscal 2025 operating results. Net interest income has reached an inflection point, increasing by approximately two percent from the prior sequential quarter and was largely the result of an expanding net interest margin. Credit quality improved from already strong June 30, 2024 levels, and coupled with a shorter estimated life of loans held for investment resulted in a significant recovery from the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, we almost doubled our stock repurchase activity this quarter from the prior sequential quarter,” stated Donavon P. Ternes, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Our business model performs better in a flat or upward sloping yield curve environment and we are gradually transitioning back to less restrictive operating strategies now that the Federal Open Market Committee is implementing looser monetary policy and the inverted yield curve has begun to reverse course," concluded Ternes.

On a sequential quarter basis, the $1.90 million net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 reflects a three percent decrease from $1.95 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $568,000 decrease in non-interest income (primarily due to a lower unrealized gain on other equity investments) and a $351,000 increase in non-interest expense (primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits), partly offset by a $685,000 increase in the recovery of credit losses and a $165,000 increase in net interest income (primarily due to an improvement in the net interest margin). The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily attributable to higher employee compensation and incentive compensation. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $0.28 per share, unchanged from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.

Return on average assets was 0.61 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, compared to 0.62 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and 0.54 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Return on average stockholders’ equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 5.78 percent, compared to 5.96 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 and 5.40 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, net interest income decreased $523,000, or six percent, to $8.62 million from $9.14 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in net interest income was due to a lower average balance of interest-earning assets and, to a lesser extent, a lower net interest margin. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased four percent to $1.22 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $1.27 billion in the same quarter last year, primarily due to decreases in the average balance of loans receivable, investment securities and interest-earning deposits. The net interest margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased four basis points to 2.84 percent from 2.88 percent in the same quarter last year. The decrease in net interest margin was due to increased funding costs outpacing increased yields on interest-earning assets. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 43 basis points to 4.63 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from 4.20 percent in the same quarter last year. In contrast, our average funding cost increased by 52 basis points to 1.97 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from 1.45 percent in the same quarter last year.

Interest income on loans receivable increased $847,000, or seven percent, to $13.02 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $12.18 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was due to a higher average loan yield, partly offset by a lower average loan balance. The average yield on loans receivable increased 43 basis points to 4.97 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from 4.54 percent in the same quarter last year. Adjustable-rate loans of approximately $122.2 million repriced upward in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 by approximately 108 basis points from a weighted average rate of 7.40 percent to 8.48 percent. The average balance of loans receivable decreased $23.5 million, or two percent, to $1.05 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $1.07 billion in the same quarter last year. Total loans originated for investment in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $28.9 million, up 56 percent from $18.5 million in the same quarter last year, while loan principal payments received in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $34.0 million, up 48 percent from $23.0 million in the same quarter last year.

Interest income from investment securities decreased $42,000, or eight percent, to $482,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $524,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 2024. This decrease was attributable to a lower average balance, partly offset by a higher average yield. The average balance of investment securities decreased $24.1 million, or 16 percent, to $129.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $153.7 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the average balance was due to scheduled principal payments and prepayments of investment securities. The average yield on investment securities increased 13 basis points to 1.49 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from 1.36 percent for the same quarter last year. The increase in the average yield was primarily attributable to a lower premium amortization during the current quarter in comparison to the same quarter last year ($110,000 vs. $155,000) due to lower total principal repayments ($5.7 million vs. $6.7 million) and, to a lesser extent, the upward repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Bank received $210,000 in cash dividends from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB’) – San Francisco stock and other equity investments, up 17 percent from $179,000 in the same quarter last year, resulting in an average yield of 8.30 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 7.53 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of FHLB – San Francisco and other equity investments in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $10.1 million, up from $9.5 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2024.

Interest income from interest-earning deposits, primarily cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, was $360,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, down $103,000 or 22 percent from $463,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was due to a lower average balance, partly offset by a higher average yield. The average balance of the Company’s interest-earning deposits decreased $7.7 million, or 23 percent, to $26.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $34.0 million in the same quarter last year. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 5.35 percent, up three basis points from 5.32 percent in the same quarter last year. The increase in the average yield was due to a higher average interest rate on the Federal Reserve Bank’s reserve balances resulting from increases in the targeted federal funds rate during the comparable periods.

Interest expense on deposits for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $2.82 million, an increase of $939,000 or 50 percent from $1.89 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense on deposits was attributable to higher rates paid on deposits, partly offset by a lower average balance. The average cost of deposits was 1.27 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up 47 basis points from 0.80 percent in the same quarter last year. The increase in the average cost of deposits was primarily attributable to an increase in higher cost time deposits, particularly brokered certificates of deposit. The average balance of deposits decreased $59.6 million, or six percent, to $880.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $940.2 million in the same quarter last year.

Transaction account balances or “core deposits” decreased $14.8 million, or two percent, to $599.7 million at September 30, 2024 from $614.5 million at June 30, 2024, while time deposits decreased $9.7 million, or four percent, to $264.2 million at September 30, 2024 from $273.9 million at June 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, brokered certificates of deposit totaled $129.8 million with a weighted average cost of 4.95 percent (including broker fees), down $2.0 million or two percent from $131.8 million with a weighted average cost of 5.18 percent at June 30, 2024.

Interest expense on borrowings, consisting of FHLB advances, for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 increased $317,000, or 14 percent, to $2.64 million from $2.32 million for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense on borrowings was primarily the result of a higher average cost and, to a lesser extent, a higher average balance. The average cost of borrowings increased 41 basis points to 4.74 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from 4.33 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of borrowings increased $8.2 million, or four percent, to $220.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $212.5 million in the same quarter last year.

At September 30, 2024, the Bank had approximately $249.2 million of remaining borrowing capacity at the FHLB. Additionally, the Bank has an unused secured borrowing facility of approximately $211.5 million with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and an unused unsecured federal funds borrowing facility of $50.0 million with its correspondent bank. The total available borrowing capacity across all sources totaled approximately $510.7 million at September 30, 2024.

The Bank continues to work with both the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to ensure that its borrowing capacity is continuously reviewed and updated in order to be accessed seamlessly should the need arise.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $697,000 (which included a $39,000 provision for unfunded commitment reserves), in contrast to a $545,000 provision for credit losses recorded during the same period last year and a $12,000 recovery of credit losses recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 (sequential quarter). The recovery of credit losses recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was primarily attributable to a shorter estimated life of the loan portfolio resulting from higher loan prepayment estimates and the decline in the outstanding balance of loans held for investment at September 30, 2024 from June 30, 2024.

Non-performing assets, comprised solely of non-accrual loans with underlying collateral located in California, decreased $490,000 or 19 percent to $2.1 million, which represented 0.17 percent of total assets at September 30, 2024, compared to $2.6 million, which represented 0.20 percent of total assets at June 30, 2024. At both September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, non-performing loans were comprised of 10 single-family loans. At both September 30, 2024 and June 30, 2024, there was no real estate owned and no loans past due by 90 days or more that were accruing interest. For the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were no loan charge-offs.

Classified assets were $4.7 million at September 30, 2024, consisting of $634,000 of loans in the special mention category and $4.1 million of loans in the substandard category. Classified assets at June 30, 2024 were $5.8 million, consisting of $1.1 million of loans in the special mention category and $4.7 million of loans in the substandard category.

The allowance for credit losses on gross loans held for investment was $6.3 million, or 0.61 percent of gross loans held for investment, at September 30, 2024, down from the $7.1 million, or 0.67 percent of gross loans held for investment, at June 30, 2024. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was due primarily to a shorter estimated life and a lower balance of loans held for investment. Management believes that, based on currently available information, the allowance for credit losses is sufficient to absorb expected losses inherent in loans held for investment at September 30, 2024.

Non-interest income increased by $148,000, or 20 percent, to $899,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $751,000 in the same period last year, due primarily to a net fair value adjustment on unsalable loans. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $568,000, or 39 percent, primarily due to a smaller unrealized gain on other equity investments.

Non-interest expense increased $667,000, or 10 percent, to $7.52 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 from $6.86 million for the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher salaries and employee benefits, resulting from higher employee compensation, incentive compensation and retirement plan expenses. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest expense increased $351,000, or five percent as compared to $7.17 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, due primarily to higher employee compensation and incentive compensation.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, defined as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 79.06 percent, increasing from 69.32 percent in the same quarter last year and 72.31 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 (sequential quarter). The increase in the efficiency ratio during the current quarter in comparison to the comparable quarter last year was due to higher non-interest expense and lower net interest income, partly offset by higher non-interest income.

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $789,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2025, up nine percent from $727,000 in the same quarter last year and down two percent from $805,000 for fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 (sequential quarter). The increase during the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year was due to an increase in pre-tax income. On a sequential basis, the decrease in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to a lower net income before income taxes. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was 29.3 percent as compared to 29.2 percent in the same quarter last year and 29.2 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 (sequential quarter).

The Company repurchased 93,641 shares of its common stock pursuant to its current stock repurchase program at an average cost of $14.26 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, a total of 95,475 shares remain available for future purchase under the Company’s current repurchase program, which expires on September 26, 2025.

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