RIVERSIDE, Calif., April 26, 2022 (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 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company reported net income of $1.70 million, or $0.23 per diluted share (on 7.41 million average diluted shares outstanding), up nine percent from net income of $1.56 million, or $0.21 per diluted share (on 7.58 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 $445,000 higher recovery from the allowance for loan losses.

“I am pleased with our financial results this quarter and would like to highlight the robust loan portfolio growth, well-controlled operating expenses, and pristine credit quality. Each of these fundamentals will work to the Company’s benefit as we progress through 2022,” said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “And let’s not forget that the Company is well positioned to respond to future opportunities or challenges that may arise from current and future economic conditions as a result of our strong financial foundation,” said Mr. Blunden.

Return on average assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was 0.57 percent, up from 0.53 percent for the same period of fiscal 2021; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was 5.33 percent, up from 4.99 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2021.

On a sequential quarter basis, the $1.70 million net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 reflects a 25 percent decrease from $2.26 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was primarily attributable to a $422,000 decrease in the recovery from the allowance for loan losses, a $254,000 decrease in non-interest income and a $125,000 decrease in net interest income. The decrease in the non-interest income was primarily due to lower loan servicing and other fees, primarily reflecting lower prepayment fees in the current quarter. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $0.23 per share, down 23 percent from the $0.30 per share during the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Return on average assets was 0.57 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, down from 0.76 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2022; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was 5.33 percent, down from 7.11 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, net income increased $2.41 million, or 57 percent, to $6.63 million from $4.22 million in the comparable period ended March 31, 2021; and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 increased 59 percent to $0.89 per share (on 7.49 million average diluted shares outstanding) from $0.56 per share (on 7.52 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 $2.05 million recovery from a $59,000 provision for loan losses and a $1.34 million decrease in non-interest expense (primarily attributable to the Employee Retention Tax Credit recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2022) and a $219,000 increase in non-interest income, partly offset by a $172,000 decrease in net-interest income.

Net interest income increased $81,000 or one percent to $7.54 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $7.46 million for the same quarter last year. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by $10.3 million, or one percent, to $1.16 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $1.15 billion in the same quarter last year. The increase in the average balance of interest-earnings assets was due primarily to increases in loans held for investment and interest-earning deposits, partly offset by a decrease in investment securities. The net interest margin during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased by one basis point to 2.61 percent from 2.60 percent in the same quarter last year. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased by eight basis points to 2.86 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 2.94 percent in the same quarter last year while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 10 basis points to 0.28 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 0.38 percent in the same quarter last year.

Interest income on loans receivable decreased by $279,000, or four percent, to $7.58 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $7.86 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2021. The decrease was due to a lower average yield, partly offset by a higher average balance. The average yield on loans receivable decreased by 20 basis points to 3.53 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from an average yield of 3.73 percent in the same quarter last year. Net deferred loan cost amortization in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 31 percent to $496,000 from $717,000 in the same quarter last year. The average balance of loans receivable increased by $14.9 million, or two percent, to $858.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $843.4 million in the same quarter last year. Total loans originated and purchased for investment in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $94.0 million, up 54 percent from $61.0 million in the same quarter last year. Loan principal payments received in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $53.6 million, down 29 percent from $75.7 million in the same quarter last year.

Interest income from investment securities increased $63,000, or 14 percent, to $515,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $452,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 2021. This increase was attributable to a higher average yield, partly offset by a lower average balance. The average yield on investment securities increased 20 basis points to 1.01 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 0.81 percent for the same quarter last year. The increase in the average investment securities yield was primarily attributable to the upward repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities and a lower premium amortization during the current quarter in comparison to the same quarter last year ($328,000 vs. $534,000). The average balance of investment securities decreased by $19.1 million, or nine percent, to $203.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $222.3 million in the same quarter last year.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Federal Home Loan Bank – San Francisco (“FHLB”) distributed a $123,000 cash dividend to the Bank on its FHLB stock, up $23,000 or 23 percent from $100,000 in the same quarter last year. The average balance of FHLB – San Francisco stock in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 increased $185,000, or two percent, to $8.2 million from $8.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2021 and the average yield increased to 6.03 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 5.02 percent in the same quarter last year.

Interest income from interest-earning deposits, primarily cash deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, was $39,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, up 117 percent from $18,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase was due to a higher average yield and, to a lesser extent, a higher average balance. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was 0.18 percent, up eight basis points from 0.10 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of the Company’s interest-earning deposits increased $14.3 million, or 20 percent, to $86.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $71.7 million in the same quarter last year primarily as a result of an increase in deposits, partly offset by a decrease in borrowings.

Interest expense on deposits for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was $274,000 as compared to $380,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $106,000, or 28 percent. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was attributable to a lower average cost of deposits, partly offset by a higher average balance. The average cost of deposits improved, decreasing by five basis points to 0.12 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 0.17 percent in the same quarter last year. Average deposits increased $46.4 million, or five percent, to $963.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $916.7 million in the same quarter last year, primarily due to increases in transaction accounts, partly offset by a managed run-off of higher cost time deposits.

Transaction account balances or “core deposits” increased $38.8 million, or five percent, to $836.3 million at March 31, 2022 from $797.5 million at June 30, 2021, while time deposits decreased $13.2 million, or nine percent, to $127.2 million at March 31, 2022 from $140.4 million at June 30, 2021.

Interest expense on borrowings, consisting of FHLB – San Francisco advances, for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased $147,000, or 25 percent, to $446,000 from $593,000 for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was the result of a lower average balance, partly offset by a higher average cost. The average balance of borrowings decreased $35.7 million, or 31 percent, to $80.0 million while the average cost of borrowings increased 18 basis points to 2.26 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to an average balance of $115.7 million with an average cost of 2.08 percent in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the average balance and the increase in the average cost of borrowings were primarily due to prepayments and maturities of borrowings with a lower average cost than our remaining borrowings.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $645,000, as compared to the $200,000 recovery recorded during the same period last year and the $1.07 million recovery from the allowance for loan losses recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 (sequential quarter). The recovery from the allowance for loan losses for the current quarter primarily reflects improved credit quality and improving general economic conditions, partly offset by an increase in loans receivable during the current quarter; while the recovery from the allowance for loan losses recorded in the same quarter last year primarily reflected improved credit quality and a decrease in loans receivable.

Non-performing assets, comprised solely of non-performing loans with underlying collateral located in California, decreased $6.6 million or 77 percent to $2.0 million, or 0.17 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2022, compared to $8.6 million, or 0.73 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2021. The non-performing loans at March 31, 2022 are comprised of eight single-family loans and one multi-family loan, while the non-performing loans at June 30, 2021 were comprised of 27 single-family loans and one multi-family loan. At both March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, there was no real estate owned.

Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 were $6,000 or 0.00 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, as compared to net loan recoveries of $8,000 or 0.00 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and net loan recoveries of $262,000 or 0.12 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 (sequential quarter).

Classified assets, comprised solely of loans, were $2.8 million at March 31, 2022 which consist of $789,000 of loans in the special mention category and $2.0 million of loans in the substandard category; while classified assets at June 30, 2021 were $10.4 million, consisting of $1.8 million of loans in the special mention category and $8.6 million of loans in the substandard category.

The allowance for loan losses was $6.0 million or 0.66 percent of gross loans held for investment at March 31, 2022, down from the $7.6 million or 0.88 percent of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2021. 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, 2022 under the incurred loss methodology.

Non-interest income decreased by $85,000, or seven percent, to $1.11 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from $1.20 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a $118,000 decrease in loan servicing and other fees. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income also decreased $254,000, or 19 percent, primarily as a result of a decrease in loan servicing and other fees.

Non-interest expenses remained relatively stable at $6.90 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to $6.91 million for the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest expenses remained unchanged as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

The Company’s efficiency ratio in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was 80 percent, unchanged as compared to the same quarter last year and slightly higher than the 76 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 (sequential quarter) due to the declines in net interest income and non-interest income.

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $699,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, up 81 percent from $386,000 in the same quarter last year primarily due to higher net income before the provision for income taxes. The effective tax rate in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 was 29.2 percent, higher than the 19.8 percent effective tax rate in the same quarter last year. The lower than normal effective tax rate in the third quarter of last year was primarily attributable to the recognition of tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options.

The Company repurchased 69,271 shares of its common stock with an average cost of $16.69 per share during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 pursuant to its stock repurchase plan. As of March 31, 2022, a total of 45,036 shares or 12 percent of the shares authorized for repurchase under the April 2020 stock repurchase plan remain available to purchase until the plan expires on April 27, 2022.

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