SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 RESULTS

Net Income of $2.37 Million in the December 2022 Quarter

Net Interest Margin Expanded 41 Basis Points in Comparison

to the Same Quarter Last Year

Loans Held for Investment Increased 11% from June 30, 2022 to $1.04 Billion

Total Deposits Decreased 1% from June 30, 2022 to $945.3 Million

Strong Asset Quality with Non-Performing Assets to Total Assets Ratio of 0.08%

Non-Interest Expenses Remained Well-Controlled

Riverside, Calif. – January 27, 2023 – 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, 2023.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported net income of $2.37 million, or $0.33 per diluted share (on 7.24 million average diluted shares outstanding), up five percent from net income of $2.26 million, or $0.30 per diluted share (on 7.48 million average diluted shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The increase in earnings was primarily attributable to a $1.72 million increase in net interest income and a $101,000 decrease in non-interest expenses, partly offset by a $1.26 million change to the provision for loan losses to a $191,000 provision for loan losses this quarter in contrast to a $1.07 million recovery from the allowance for loan losses in the same quarter last year and a $412,000 decrease in non-interest income.

“We are pleased with our recent financial results and the growth of the Company.  Loans held for investment are expanding, net interest income is increasing, the net interest margin is stable and operating expenses are well-controlled,” said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Credit quality remains strong and we have not seen any deterioration in the performance of our loan portfolio despite the higher interest rate and inflationary economic environment,” concluded Blunden.

Return on average assets for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 0.75 percent, down slightly from 0.76 percent for the same period of fiscal 2022; but return on average stockholders’

Page 1 of 15


equity^^for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 7.27 percent, up from 7.11 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2022.

On a sequential quarter basis, the $2.37 million net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 reflects a 13 percent increase from $2.09 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to a $420,000 increase in net interest income and a $143,000 decrease in non-interest expenses (mainly a decrease in professional expenses, partly offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses), partly offset by a $121,000 increase in the provision for loan losses. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were $0.33 per share, up 14 percent from the $0.29 per share during the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Return on average assets was 0.75 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, up from 0.69 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2023; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 7.27 percent, up from 6.42 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

For the six months ended December 31, 2022, net income decreased $470,000, or 10 percent, to $4.46 million from $4.93 million in the comparable period ended December 31, 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2022 decreased six percent to $0.61 per share (on 7.27 million average diluted shares outstanding) from $0.65 per share (on 7.53 million average diluted shares outstanding) for the comparable six-month period last year. The decrease in earnings was primarily attributable to a $1.67 million change in the provision for loan losses to a $261,000 provision for loan losses in the first six months ended December 31, 2022 in contrast to a $1.41 million recovery from the allowance for loan losses in the comparable period last year, and a $1.17 million increase in non-interest expense (primarily attributable to the $1.20 million employee retention tax credit recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and not replicated in the current quarter) and a $478,000 decrease in non-interest income (mainly a decrease in loan prepayment fees), partly offset by a $2.80 million increase in net-interest income.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, net interest income increased $1.73 million, or 23 percent, to $9.39 million from $7.66 million for the same quarter last year. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a higher net interest margin^^due to a shift in the composition of interest-earning assets towards higher yielding loans held for investment and an increase in the average yield on interest-earning deposits reflecting recent increases in the targeted federal funds rate, partly offset by increases in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest margin during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased 41 basis points to 3.05 percent from 2.64 percent in the same quarter last year. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 70 basis points to 3.63 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 2.93 percent in the same quarter last year while the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by 31 basis points to 0.63 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 0.32 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of interest-earning assets increased by six percent to $1.23 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $1.16 billion in the same quarter last year. This increase was attributable to the increase in the average balance of loans held for investment, partly offset by decreases in the average balance of investment securities and interest-earning deposits.

Interest income on loans receivable increased by $2.32 million, or 29 percent, to $10.24 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $7.92 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was due to a higher average balance and, to a lesser extent, a higher average loan yield. The average balance of loans receivable increased by $167.4 million, or 20 percent, to $1.02 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $854.3 million in the same quarter last year. Total loans originated and purchased for investment in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were $74.3 million, up 14 percent from $65.3 million in the same quarter last year. Loan principal payments received in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were $28.0 million, down 61 percent from $72.5 million in the same quarter last year. The average yield on loans receivable increased by 30 basis points to 4.01 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 3.71 percent in the same quarter last year. Net deferred loan cost amortization in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 decreased 67 percent to $203,000 from $622,000 in the same quarter last year, attributable primarily to fewer loan payoffs.

Interest income from investment securities increased $115,000, or 27 percent, to $548,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $433,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 2022. This increase was attributable to a higher average yield, partly offset by a lower average balance. The average yield on investment securities increased 42 basis points to 1.25 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 0.83 percent for the same quarter last year. The increase in the average investment securities yield was primarily attributable to a lower premium amortization during the current quarter in comparison to the same quarter last year ($203,000 vs. $443,000) attributable to a lower total principal repayment ($7.6 million vs. $15.5 million) and, to a lesser extent, the upward repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities. The average balance of investment securities decreased by $34.5 million, or 16 percent, to $175.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $209.7 million in the same quarter last year.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Federal Home Loan Bank – San Francisco (“FHLB”) distributed a $145,000 cash dividend to the Bank on its FHLB stock, up 18 percent from $123,000 in the same quarter last year. The average balance of FHLB – San Francisco stock in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $8.2 million, virtually unchanged from the same quarter of fiscal 2022 while the average yield increased by 101 basis points to 7.04 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 6.03 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 $241,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, up 589 percent from $35,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was due to a higher average yield, partly offset by a lower average balance. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 3.89 percent, up 374 basis points from 0.15 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of the Company’s interest-earning deposits decreased $66.8 million, or 73 percent, to $24.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $91.0 million in the same quarter last year primarily due to the utilization of excess funds for loan portfolio growth.

Page 3 of 15


Interest expense on deposits for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was $475,000, a 57 percent increase from $302,000 for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense on deposits was attributable to a higher weighted average cost. The average cost of deposits was 0.20 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, up eight basis points from 0.12 percent in the same quarter last year. The average balance of deposits increased slightly to $962.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $962.1 million in the same quarter last year.

Transaction account balances or “core deposits” decreased $32.7 million, or four percent, to $801.7 million at December 31, 2022 from $834.4 million at June 30, 2022 and time deposits increased $22.5 million, or 19 percent, to $143.6 million at December 31, 2022 from $121.1 million at June 30, 2022. The increase in time deposits was primarily due to a $31.2 million increase in brokered certificates of deposit with a weighted average cost of 2.90 percent (including broker fees).

Interest expense on borrowings, consisting of FHLB – San Francisco advances, for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $765,000, or 140 percent, to $1.31 million from $546,000 for the same period last year. The increase in interest expense on borrowings was primarily the result of a higher average balance and, to a lesser extent, a higher average cost. The average balance of borrowings increased by $64.7 million, or 73 percent, to $153.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $89.0 million in the same quarter last year and the average cost of borrowings increased by 95 basis points to 3.38 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from 2.43 percent in the same quarter last year.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $191,000, as compared to the $1.07 million recovery from the allowance for loan losses recorded during the same period last year and the $70,000 provision for loan losses recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 (sequential quarter). The provision for loan losses primarily reflects an increase in loans held for investment in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 while the overall loan credit quality remains very strong.

Non-performing assets, comprised solely of non-performing loans with underlying collateral located in California, decreased $467,000 or 33 percent to $956,000, or 0.08 percent of total assets, at December 31, 2022, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.12 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2022. The non-performing loans at December 31, 2022 are comprised of five single-family loans, while the non-performing loans at June 30, 2022 were comprised of seven single-family loans. At both December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, there was no real estate owned. Net loan recoveries for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 were $1,000, as compared to $262,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $4,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (sequential quarter).

Classified assets were $2.0 million at December 31, 2022 which consist of $514,000 of loans in the special mention category and $1.5 million of loans in the substandard category. Classified assets at June 30, 2022 were $1.6 million, consisting of $224,000 of loans in the special mention category and $1.4 million of loans in the substandard category.

The allowance for loan losses was $5.8 million, or 0.56 percent of gross loans held for investment, at December 31, 2022, up from the $5.6 million but down from 0.59 percent of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2022. 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, 2022 under the incurred loss methodology.

Non-interest income decreased by $412,000, or 30 percent, to $956,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $1.37 million in the same period last year, primarily due to a $329,000 decrease in loan servicing and other fees, attributable primarily to lower loan prepayment fees. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $47,000 or five percent.

Non-interest expenses decreased by $101,000 or one percent to $6.80 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $6.90 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in the non-interest expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was primarily due to lower salaries and employee benefits expenses and lower equipment expenses. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest expenses decreased by $143,000 or two percent to $6.80 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 from $6.94 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to a decrease in professional expenses (mainly a decrease in legal costs), partly offset by an increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses.

The Company’s efficiency ratio, defined as non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income, in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 65.74 percent, improving from 76.39 percent in the same quarter last year and 69.63 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 (sequential quarter). The improvement in the efficiency ratio is due to both lower non-interest expenses and higher total revenues during the current quarter, compared to the comparable quarter last year and the sequential quarter.

The Company’s provision for income taxes was $981,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, up five percent from $935,000 in the same quarter last year primarily due to an increase in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 was 29.3 percent as compared to 29.2 percent in the same quarter last year.

The Company repurchased 103,290 shares of its common stock with an average cost of $14.26 per share during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 pursuant to its April 2022 stock repurchase plan. As of December 31, 2022, a total of 211,345 shares or 58 percent of the shares authorized for repurchase under the plan remain available to purchase until the plan expires on April 28, 2023.

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