RIVERSIDE, Calif., Oct. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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, 2026.

The Company reported net income of $1.68 million, or $0.25 per diluted share (on 6.63 million average diluted shares outstanding), for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, up three percent from $1.63 million, or $0.24 per diluted share (on 6.65 million average diluted shares outstanding), in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, but down 12 percent from net income of $1.90 million, or $0.28 per diluted share (on 6.86 million average diluted shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The increase from the sequential quarter primarily reflected a $462,000 higher recovery of credit losses, partially offset by a $374,000 increase in the provision for income taxes. The decrease from the first quarter ended September 30, 2024 was due primarily to a $265,000 increase in the provision for income taxes, a $111,000 increase in non-interest expense (primarily attributable to higher salaries and employee benefits), an $86,000 decrease in non-interest income and a $71,000 lower recovery of credit losses, partly offset by a $314,000 increase in net interest income.

"I am pleased with our results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026," stated Donavon P. Ternes, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Strong credit quality and a shortened expected average life of our loan portfolio, resulting from lower mortgage interest rates, contributed to a significant recovery from the allowance for credit losses. In addition, our net interest margin resumed its upward trajectory, and our operating expenses remained well controlled. We continue to actively repurchase shares under our stock buyback program and have maintained a consistent quarterly cash dividend for many years. As we look forward, we anticipate improving fundamentals as the yield curve becomes more favorable and general economic conditions remain stable, though we recognize that balance sheet growth may remain a challenge," concluded Ternes.

Return on average assets was 0.55 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to 0.53 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and 0.61 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Return on average stockholders' equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 5.17 percent, compared to 5.01 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and 5.78 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, net interest income increased $314,000 or four percent to $8.93 million from $8.62 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was due to a higher net interest margin, which rose 16 basis points to 3.00 percent from 2.84 percent in the same quarter last year, reflecting a higher yield in interest-earning assets and a decline in funding costs. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased 12 basis points to 4.75 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from 4.63 percent in the same quarter last year, while average funding costs decreased five basis points to 1.92 percent from 1.97 percent, primarily due to a lower cost of borrowings. These benefits were partially offset by a two percent decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets, which totaled $1.19 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, down from $1.22 billion in the same quarter last year, primarily due to decreases in the average balance of investment securities and loans receivable, partly offset by an increase in interest-earning deposits, mainly cash balances at the Federal Reserve Bank ("FRB") of San Francisco.

Interest income on loans receivable increased $108,000, or one percent, to $13.13 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $13.02 million in the same quarter last year, primarily due to a higher average loan yield, partly offset by a slightly lower average loan balance. The average yield on loans receivable increased eight basis points to 5.05 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from 4.97 percent in the same quarter last year. Adjustable-rate loans of approximately $120.3 million repriced upward in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 by approximately 24 basis points, from a weighted average rate of 7.09 percent to 7.33 percent. Net deferred loan cost amortization was $340,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, down four percent from $355,000 in the same quarter last year. The average balance of loans receivable decreased $9.6 million, or one percent, to $1.04 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $1.05 billion in the same quarter last year. Total loans originated for investment in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were $29.6 million, up two percent from $28.9 million in the same quarter last year, while loan principal payments received in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 were $34.5 million, up one percent from $34.0 million in the same quarter last year.

Interest income from investment securities decreased $52,000, or 11 percent, to $430,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $482,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 2025. This decrease was attributable to a lower average balance, partly offset by a higher average yield. The average balance of investment securities decreased $20.9 million, or 16 percent, to $108.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $129.6 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 nine basis points to 1.58 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from 1.49 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 ($74,000 vs. $110,000) due to lower total principal repayments ($5.5 million vs. $5.7 million) and, to a lesser extent, the upward repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Bank received $211,000 in cash dividends from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") – San Francisco stock and other equity investments, slightly higher than the $210,000 in the same quarter last year, resulting from a higher average balance that was partly offset by a lower average yield. The average balance in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $10.3 million, up from $10.1 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2025, while the average yield decreased nine basis points to 8.21 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from 8.30 percent in the same quarter last year.

Interest income from interest-earning deposits, primarily cash deposited at the FRB of San Francisco, was $374,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up $14,000 or four percent from $360,000 in the same quarter of fiscal 2025. The increase was due to a higher average balance, partly offset by a lower average yield. The average balance of the Company's interest-earning deposits increased $7.2 million, or 27 percent, to $33.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $26.3 million in the same quarter last year. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 4.37 percent, down 98 basis points from 5.35 percent in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the average yield was due to a lower average interest rate on the FRB's reserve balances resulting from decreases in the targeted federal funds rate during the comparable periods.

Interest expense on deposits for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was $2.99 million, an increase of $162,000 or six percent from $2.82 million for the same period last year. The increase was attributable to higher rates paid on deposits and a slightly higher average balance. The average cost of deposits was 1.34 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up seven basis points from 1.27 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to a greater proportion of time deposits, including brokered certificates of deposit which carry higher interest rates. The average balance of deposits was $885.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up slightly from $880.6 million in the same quarter last year.

Transaction account balances, or "core deposits," decreased $10.7 million, or two percent, to $565.8 million at September 30, 2025 from $576.5 million at June 30, 2025. Time deposits decreased $3.3 million, or one percent, to $309.0 million at September 30, 2025 from $312.3 million at June 30, 2025. Brokered certificates of deposit totaled $123.8 million at September 30, 2025, down from $131.0 million at June 30, 2025. The weighted average cost of brokered certificates of deposit was 4.10 percent and 4.24 percent (including broker fees) at September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025, respectively.

Interest expense on borrowings, primarily comprised of FHLB advances, decreased $405,000, or 15 percent, to $2.23 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $2.64 million for the same period last year. This decrease was due to a $27.9 million, or 13 percent, decrease in average borrowings to $192.9 million and, to a lesser extent, a 15 basis point decrease in average borrowing costs to 4.59 percent.

At September 30, 2025, the Bank had approximately $279.0 million of remaining borrowing capacity with the FHLB, an additional $143.3 million available through a borrowing facility with the FRB of San Francisco, and an unused unsecured federal funds borrowing facility of $50.0 million with its correspondent bank. Total available borrowing capacity across all sources was approximately $472.3 million at September 30, 2025.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company recorded a recovery of credit losses totaling $626,000, which is net of an $18,000 provision related to unfunded loan commitment reserves. This compares to a $697,000 recovery of credit losses in the same quarter last year and a $164,000 recovery of credit losses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (sequential quarter). The recovery of credit losses was primarily due to a decline in the expected life of the loan portfolio attributable to a decline in mortgage interest rates.

Non-performing assets, comprised solely of non-accrual loans secured by properties located in California, increased $474,000, or 34 percent, to $1.9 million, representing 0.15 percent of total assets at September 30, 2025, compared to $1.4 million, or 0.11 percent, of total assets at June 30, 2025. At September 30, 2025, non-performing loans were comprised of five single-family loans and two multi-family loans, compared to seven single-family loans and one multi-family loan at June 30, 2025. At both dates, the Bank had no real estate owned and no loans 90 days or more past due that were still accruing interest. Additionally, no loan charge-offs occurred during the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Classified assets were $7.1 million at September 30, 2025, consisting of $1.8 million of loans in the special mention category and $5.3 million of loans in the substandard category. This compares to $5.0 million at June 30, 2025, consisting of $1.1 million of loans in the special mention category and $3.9 million of loans in the substandard category.

The allowance for credit losses on loans held for investment was $5.8 million, or 0.56 percent of gross loans held for investment, at September 30, 2025, down from $6.4 million, or 0.62 percent of gross loans held for investment, at June 30, 2025. The decrease in the allowance for credit losses was due primarily to a shorter estimated average life of the loan portfolio attributable to a decline in mortgage interest rates. Management believes, 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, 2025.

Non-interest income decreased by $86,000, or 10 percent, to $813,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $899,000 in the same period last year, primarily due to a $77,000, or 44 percent, decline in other non-interest income due to unrealized losses of other equity investments and, to a lesser extent, declines in deposit account fees, and card and processing fees, partly offset by a $42,000, or 40 percent, increase in loan servicing and other fees due to higher loan prepayment fees. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $67,000, or eight percent, primarily due to decreases in card and processing fees and other non-interest income, partly offset by an increase in loan servicing and other fees.

Non-interest expense increased $111,000, or one percent, to $7.63 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 from $7.52 million for the same quarter last year, primarily due to a $137,000, or three percent, increase in salaries and employee benefits expenses and a $63,000, or 18 percent, increase in equipment expense, partly offset by decreases in sales and marketing, deposit insurance and regulatory assessments, and other operating expenses. The higher salaries and employee benefits expenses were primarily due to an increase in compensation expenses, partly offset by a decrease in retirement plan benefit expenses. The increase in equipment expense was due to software upgrades and maintenance. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest expense increased slightly, as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

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 2026 was 78.35 percent, an improvement from 79.08 percent in the same quarter last year but slightly higher compared to 78.06 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (sequential quarter). The improvement in the efficiency ratio from the comparable quarter last year was due to a higher net interest income, partly offset by a lower total non-interest income and a higher total non-interest expense.

The Company's provision for income taxes was $1.05 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, up 34 percent from $789,000 in the same quarter last year and up 55 percent from $680,000 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (sequential quarter). The increase during the current quarter compared to both the sequential quarter and same quarter last year was due to a $251,000 adjustment attributable to the write-off of deferred tax assets associated with expired non-qualified stock options, which reduced the expected tax benefit. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 was 38.5 percent as compared to 29.3 percent in the same quarter last year and 29.5 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 (sequential quarter).

The Company repurchased 66,707 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $15.75 per share during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, a total of 150,321 shares remained available for future purchase under the Company's current repurchase program.

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