PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS
REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS

 

Preferred Loans Grow by 23% for the Fiscal Year and Increase to 39% of Loans Held
for Investment

Deposits Grow by 9% for the Fiscal Year

        Riverside, Calif. - July 30, 2007 - Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Company"), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), today announced fourth quarter earnings for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

        For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company reported net income of $2.00 million, or $0.32 per diluted share (on 6.32 million weighted-average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $3.82 million, or $0.56 per diluted share (on 6.88 million weighted-average shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The decline in net income in the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income, a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and an increase in compensation expense, partly offset by a decrease in other operating expenses. The decrease in weighted-average shares outstanding primarily reflects repurchases of common stock through the Company's stock repurchase programs.

        "Although the current operating environment for community banks and thrifts remains very challenging, we remain confident in our efforts to enhance the franchise


Page 1 of 17

<PAGE>

value of the Company over time," said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Growing the community banking business in the Inland Empire region of Southern California is the catalyst to accomplish this long-term goal. We will continue to invest in our deposit gathering and preferred loan capabilities."

        Mr. Blunden went on to say, "We continue to respond to the difficult mortgage banking environment. During the quarter, we closed or consolidated four mortgage banking offices and reduced our mortgage banking workforce by 18 percent from March 31, 2007."

        Return on average assets for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was 0.47 percent, compared to 0.96 percent for the same period of fiscal 2006. Return on average stockholders' equity for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was 6.09 percent, compared to 11.20 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2006.

        On a sequential quarter basis, net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased by $543,000, or 21 percent, to $2.00 million from $2.54 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2007; and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.07, or 18 percent, to $0.32 from $0.39 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Return on average assets decreased 11 basis points to 0.47 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from 0.58 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and return on average equity for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was 6.09 percent, compared to 7.60 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

        For the twelve months ended June 30, 2007, net income was $11.29 million, a decrease of 45 percent from net income of $20.54 million for the comparable period ended June 30, 2006; and diluted earnings per share for the twelve months ended June 30,


Page 2 of 17

<PAGE>

2007 decreased $1.26, or 42 percent, to $1.72 from $2.98 for the comparable period last year. The decrease in net income for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to the specific loan loss reserve of $2.62 million (approximately $1.52 million net of statutory taxes) on 23 individual construction loans recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and the $6.28 million gain on sale of real estate (approximately $3.64 million net of statutory taxes) recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2005 (not replicated in fiscal 2007), partly offset by the $2.31 million gain on sale of real estate (approximately $1.34 million net of statutory taxes) recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2006. Return on average assets for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 decreased 64 basis points to 0.66 percent from 1.30 percent for the twelve-month period a year earlier. Return on average stockholders' equity for the twelve months ended June 30, 2007 was 8.39 percent, compared to 15.71 percent for the twelve-month period a year earlier.

        Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $1.08 million, or 10 percent, to $9.85 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from $10.93 million for the same period in fiscal 2006. Non-interest income decreased $2.41 million, or 52 percent, to $2.21 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from $4.63 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2006. Non-interest expense decreased $167,000, or two percent, to $8.78 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from $8.95 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2006.

        The average balance of loans outstanding increased by $132.4 million to $1.46 billion in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from $1.32 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2006, and the average yield increased by six basis points to 6.28 percent in the fourth


Page 3 of 17

<PAGE>

quarter of fiscal 2007 from an average yield of 6.22 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to higher interest rates on newly originated loans and the repricing of existing adjustable rate loans in the loans held for investment portfolio, partly offset by accrued interest reversals on non-accrual loans, primarily from loan repurchases. Total loans originated for investment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 were $56.3 million (including $2.1 million of loans purchased for investment), which consisted primarily of single-family and commercial real estate loans. This compares to total loans originated for investment of $161.5 million (including $39.9 million of loans purchased for investment) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The outstanding balance of "preferred loans" (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) increased by $98.1 million, or 23 percent, to $522.9 million at June 30, 2007 from $424.8 million at June 30, 2006. The ratio of preferred loans to total loans held for investment increased to 39 percent at June 30, 2007 compared to 34 percent at June 30, 2006. Loan prepayments in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 were $103.6 million, compared to $100.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2006.

        Average deposits increased by $63.9 million to $986.8 million and the average cost of deposits increased by 88 basis points to 3.59 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to an average balance of $922.9 million and an average cost of 2.71 percent in the same quarter last year. Transaction account balances (core deposits) decreased by $41.1 million, or 11 percent, to $350.0 million at June 30, 2007 from $391.1 million at June 30, 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $28.8 million, or 16 percent, decline in savings account balances. Time deposits increased by $122.1


Page 4 of 17

<PAGE>

million, or 23 percent, to $648.6 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $526.5 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in time deposits is primarily attributable to the Company's time deposit marketing campaigns and depositors switching from savings deposits to time deposits.

        The average balance of borrowings, which primarily consists of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of San Francisco advances, increased $55.0 million to $558.6 million and the average cost of advances increased 23 basis points to 4.64 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, compared to an average balance of $503.6 million and an average cost of 4.41 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the average cost of borrowings was primarily the result of higher interest rates on short-term advances.

        The net interest margin during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased 45 basis points to 2.37 percent from 2.82 percent during the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter basis, the net interest margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased 13 basis points from 2.50 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.

        During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a loan loss recovery of $490,000, compared to a loan loss recovery of $205,000 during the same period of fiscal 2006. The loan loss recovery in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was primarily attributable to a $41.2 million sequential quarter decline in loans held for investment and a $6.2 million sequential quarter decline in classified assets, primarily as a result of loan payoffs or loan classification upgrades. Classified assets at June 30, 2007 were $32.3 million, comprised of $13.3 million in the special mention category and $19.0 million in the substandard category. Classified assets at March 31, 2007 were $38.5


Page 5 of 17

<PAGE>

million, comprised of $12.7 million in the special mention category and $25.8 million in the substandard category.

        Non-performing assets increased to $19.7 million, or 1.20 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2007, compared to $14.7 million, or 0.83 percent of total assets at March 31, 2007 and $2.5 million, or 0.16 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2006. The non-performing assets at June 30, 2007 were primarily comprised of 16 single-family loans originated for investment ($4.8 million), 23 construction loans originated for investment ($2.4 million), 31 single-family loans repurchased from, or unable to sell to, investors ($8.5 million) and 10 single-family properties acquired in the settlement of loans ($3.8 million). Net charge-offs for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $402,000 or 0.11 percent of average loans outstanding, compared to $42,000 or 0.01 percent of average loans outstanding in the comparable quarter last year.

        The allowance for loan losses was $14.8 million at June 30, 2007, or 1.09 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $10.3 million, or 0.81 percent of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2007 includes $3.3 million of specific loan loss reserves, compared to $238,000 of specific loan loss reserves at June 30, 2006. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to absorb potential losses inherent in loans held for investment.

        The decrease in non-interest income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period of fiscal 2006 was primarily the result of a decrease in the gain on sale of loans. The gain on sale of loans declined by $2.48 million, or 80 percent, to $601,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from $3.08 million in the comparable quarter last year. The decline in the gain on sale of loans was due to the lower volume of loans


Page 6 of 17

<PAGE>

originated for sale and the lower average loan sale margin. Total loans sold for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was $221.6 million, down 24 percent from $291.0 million for the same quarter last year. The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 31 basis points for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, down 64 basis points from 95 basis points in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in the average loan sale margin was primarily attributable to a $423,000 lower of cost or market adjustment on unsaleable loans that were moved to loans held for investment, six single-family loans sold at a $415,000 loss, the $90,000 loss on derivative financial instruments consistent with SFAS No. 133, and a $62,000 reserve provision for loans sold that are subject to early payment default repurchase. Also, the mortgage banking environment remains highly competitive and volatile as a result of the well-publicized collapse of the sub-prime loan market, which has further eroded loan sale prices.

        The volume of loans originated for sale decreased $103.2 million, or 35 percent, to $188.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from $291.7 million during the same period last year. Total loan originations (including loans originated for investment, loans purchased for investment and loans originated for sale) were $244.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, a decrease of $208.5 million, or 46 percent, from $453.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease in loan originations was primarily attributable to a decrease in loan demand resulting from an increase in interest rates, a general decline in real estate values and more stringent underwriting guidelines.

        In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the fair-value adjustment of derivative financial instruments pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations was a loss of $90,000, compared


Page 7 of 17

<PAGE>

to a loss of $257,000 in the same period last year. The fair-value adjustment for SFAS No. 133 is derived from changes in the market value of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, forward loan sale agreements and option contracts. The SFAS No. 133 adjustment is relatively volatile and results in timing differences in the recognition of income, which may have an adverse impact on future earnings.

        The decrease in non-interest expense was the result of a decrease in other operating expenses, primarily attributable to last year's $500,000 contribution to the Provident Savings Bank Charitable Foundation (not replicated this year). The decrease in other operating expenses was partly offset by an increase in compensation expense, the result of lower deferred compensation attributable to the application of SFAS No. 91, which was partly offset by lower incentive compensation expenses. On July 1, 2006, the Bank lowered the SFAS No. 91 deferred compensation allocated to each loan originated after completing the annual review and analysis of SFAS No. 91.

        The Company's efficiency ratio increased to 73 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 from 58 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

        The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 was 47.1 percent, up from 43.8 percent in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to a higher percentage of non-deductible stock based compensation expenses relative to income before taxes. The Company believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 reflects its current income tax obligations.

        The Company repurchased 168,491 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 at an average cost of $24.79 per share. During the quarter, the Company completed the January 2007 Stock Repurchase Program. To date, the


Page 8 of 17

<PAGE>

Company has not repurchased any shares authorized by the June 2007 Stock Repurchase Program, leaving 318,847 shares available for future repurchase activity.

        The Bank currently operates 13 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire). Provident Bank Mortgage ("PBM") operates nine loan production offices located throughout Southern California and one loan production office located in Northern California. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, PBM closed three loan production offices and consolidated one loan production office with another location. The one-time charge associated with the reorganization was approximately $215,000 primarily the result of lease obligations and employee severance payments.

        The Company will host a conference call for institutional investors and bank analysts on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 at 9:30 a.m. (Pacific Time) to discuss its financial results. The conference call can be accessed by dialing (800) 230-1093 and requesting the Provident Financial Holdings Earnings Release Conference Call.
