Diluted Earnings Per Share Increases 12% to $0.28 Per Share Compared to Same Quarter Last Year

RIVERSIDE, Calif., Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), (NASDAQ:PROV), the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced first quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $2.44 million, or $0.28 per diluted share (on 8.74 million average diluted shares outstanding), up from net income of $2.39 million, or $0.25 per diluted share (on 9.47 million average diluted shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The increase in net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily attributable to a $1.34 million, or 15 percent, increase in non-interest income, partly offset by a $780,000, or 95 percent, decrease in the recovery from the allowance for loan losses and a $621,000, or five percent, increase in non-interest expense, compared to the same period one year ago.
“We are pleased with our first quarter’s financial results but are not satisfied. We have worked very hard to advance our fundamental performance and will continue to do so but we must also recognize that we are operating in a difficult banking environment and the choices we are making are designed to maximize future opportunities when the banking environment improves,” said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Unfortunately, this strategy places pressure on our short-term financial results which, while improved from prior periods, have not improved as robustly as we would like,” he concluded.
Return on average assets for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased to 0.83 percent from 0.86 percent for the same period of fiscal 2015 while return on average stockholders’ equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 increased to 6.96 percent from 6.59 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2015.
On a sequential quarter basis, the first quarter of fiscal 2016 net income reflects a $42,000, or two percent, decrease from net income of $2.49 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. The decrease in net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was primarily attributable to a decrease of $784,000 in net interest income, a decrease of $62,000 in non-interest income and a decrease of $66,000 in the recovery from the allowance for loan losses, partly offset by a decrease of $790,000 in non-interest expense and a decrease of $80,000 in the provision for income taxes. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were $0.28 per share, unchanged from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. Return on average assets decreased to 0.83 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from 0.84 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015; and return on average stockholders’ equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was 6.96 percent, compared to 7.02 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.
Net interest income increased $129,000, or two percent, to $8.07 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $7.94 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2015, attributable to a higher average earning assets balance, partly offset by a decrease in the net interest margin. Non-interest income increased $1.34 million, or 15 percent, to $10.45 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $9.11 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2015. Non-interest expense increased $621,000, or five percent, to $14.36 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $13.74 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The increases in non-interest income (primarily due to an increase in the gain on sale of loans) and non-interest expense (primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense) relate primarily to increased mortgage banking activity.
The average balance of loans outstanding, including loans held for sale, increased by $62.8 million, or seven percent, to $962.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $899.8 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2015, primarily due to an increase in average loans held for sale attributable to the improved mortgage banking activity and, to a lesser extent, an increase in average loans held for investment, primarily in multi-family loans. The average yield on loans receivable decreased by 15 basis points to 3.94 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from an average yield of 4.09 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to payoffs of loans which had a higher yield than the average yield of loans held for investment, a lower average yield on loans held for sale and adjustable rate loans repricing to lower current market interest rates. The average balance of loans held for sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $150.8 million with an average yield of 3.86 percent as compared to $126.1 million with an average yield of 4.00 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2015. Loans originated and purchased for investment in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 totaled $35.2 million, consisting primarily of multi-family, commercial real estate and single-family loans. The outstanding balance of “preferred loans” (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) increased by $501,000 to $453.9 million at September 30, 2015 from $453.4 million at June 30, 2015. The percentage of preferred loans to total loans held for investment at September 30, 2015 increased to 56 percent from 55 percent at June 30, 2015. Loan principal payments received in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were $45.8 million, compared to $24.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2015.
The average balance of investment securities decreased by $2.4 million, or 14 percent, to $14.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $17.0 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The decrease was attributable to principal payments received on mortgage-backed securities during the last 12 months. The average yield on investment securities increased four basis points to 1.83 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from 1.79 percent for the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in the average yield was primarily attributable to the repricing of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) – San Francisco distributed a $200,000 cash dividend to the Bank, up from $144,000 of cash dividends received by the Bank in the same quarter last year.
The average balance of the Company’s interest-earning deposits, primarily cash with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, increased $10.1 million, or seven percent, to $157.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $147.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in interest-earning deposits was primarily due to temporarily investing excess cash received from the increase in long-term FHLB – San Francisco advances over the last year as part of the Corporation’s interest rate risk management strategy. The average yield earned on interest-earning deposits was 0.25 percent in both the first quarters of fiscal 2016 and 2015 and lower than the yield that could have been earned if the excess liquidity was deployed in loans or investment securities.
Average deposits increased $23.3 million, or three percent, to $926.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $903.2 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The average cost of deposits decreased by five basis points to 0.49 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from 0.54 percent in the same quarter last year, primarily due to higher cost time deposits repricing to lower current market interest rates and a lower percentage of time deposits to the total deposit balance. Transaction account balances or “core deposits” increased $10.7 million, or two percent, to $589.1 million at September 30, 2015 from $578.4 million at June 30, 2015, while time deposits decreased $10.0 million, or three percent, to $335.7 million at September 30, 2015 from $345.7 million at June 30, 2015, consistent with the Bank’s strategy to decrease the percentage of time deposits in its deposit base and to increase the percentage of lower cost checking and savings accounts.
The average balance of borrowings, which consisted of FHLB – San Francisco advances, increased $50.0 million, or 121 percent, to $91.4 million and the average cost of advances decreased 40 basis points to 2.81 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to an average balance of $41.4 million and an average cost of 3.21 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in borrowings was primarily attributable to newly acquired long-term advances to protect against rising interest rates.
The net interest margin during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased 14 basis points to 2.82 percent from 2.96 percent in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the average yield of interest-earning assets and the increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average yield of interest-earning assets decreased by 10 basis points to 3.45 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from 3.55 percent in the same quarter last year, while the average cost of liabilities increased by four basis points to 0.70 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from 0.66 percent in the same quarter last year.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded a recovery from the allowance for loan losses of $38,000 compared to the recovery of $818,000 recorded during the same period of fiscal 2015 and the $104,000 recovery recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter). The reduction in the recovery primarily reflects the increase in loans held for investment over the last year.
Non-performing assets, with underlying collateral primarily located in Southern California, increased to $18.4 million, or 1.57 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2015, compared to $16.3 million, or 1.39 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2015. Non-performing loans at September 30, 2015 increased $818,000 or six percent since June 30, 2015 to $14.8 million and were primarily comprised of 38 single-family loans ($11.7 million); three multi-family loans ($2.0 million); three commercial real estate loans ($1.0 million); and one commercial business loan ($87,000). Real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans at September 30, 2015 increased $1.3 million, or 54 percent, to $3.7 million (three properties) from $2.4 million (three properties) at June 30, 2015. The real estate owned at September 30, 2015 was comprised of two commercial real estate properties ($2.8 million) and one single-family real estate property ($919,000).
Net recoveries for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were $348,000 or 0.14 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable, compared to net charge-offs of $38,000 or 0.02 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and net recoveries of $116,000 or 0.04 percent (annualized) of average loans receivable for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 (sequential quarter).
Classified assets at September 30, 2015 were $29.2 million, comprised of $7.7 million of loans in the special mention category, $17.8 million of loans in the substandard category and $3.7 million in real estate owned. Classified assets at June 30, 2015 were $31.1 million, comprised of $8.2 million of loans in the special mention category, $20.5 million of loans in the substandard category and $2.4 million in real estate owned.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, no loans were restructured from their original terms or newly classified as a restructured loan. As of September 30, 2015, the outstanding balance of restructured loans that have not returned to their original promissory note terms was $5.5 million: two loans were classified as special mention ($980,000, on accrual status); and 13 loans were classified as substandard ($4.5 million, all are on non-accrual status). As of September 30, 2015, $4.1 million, or 74 percent, of restructured loans were current with respect to their modified payment terms.
The allowance for loan losses was $9.0 million at September 30, 2015, or 1.11 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $8.7 million at June 30, 2015, or 1.06 percent of gross loans held for investment. 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 September 30, 2015.
Non-interest income increased by $1.34 million, or 15 percent, to $10.45 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $9.11 million in the same period of fiscal 2015, primarily as a result of a $1.27 million increase in the gain on sale of loans. On a sequential quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $62,000, or one percent, primarily as a result of a decrease in loan servicing and other fees and a decrease in the gain on sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans, partly offset by an increase in the gain on sale of loans.
The gain on sale of loans increased to $8.92 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 from $7.65 million in the comparable quarter last year, reflecting the impact of a higher loan sale volume and a higher average loan sale margin. Total loan sale volume, which includes the net change in commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale, was $539.6 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, up $41.7 million, or eight percent, from $497.9 million in the comparable quarter last year. The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 165 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, up 13 basis points from 152 basis points in the comparable quarter last year and up 26 basis points from 139 basis points in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter). The gain on sale of loans includes an unfavorable fair-value adjustment on loans held for sale and derivative financial instruments (commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans, commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities, and option contracts) that amounted to a net loss of $345,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to an unfavorable fair-value adjustment that amounted to a net loss of $646,000 in the same period last year.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, a total of $540.3 million of loans were originated and purchased for sale, five percent higher than the $513.8 million for the same period last year, but 25 percent lower than the $720.7 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter). The loan origination volume has increased from the previous year because mortgage interest rates have declined spurring an increase in refinance activity. Conversely, mortgage interest rates have increased on a sequential quarter basis, resulting in a decline in loans originated and purchased for sale on a linked-quarter basis. Total loans sold during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were $601.0 million, 23 percent higher than the $490.4 million sold during the same quarter last year, but 24 percent lower than the $795.5 million sold during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter). Total loan originations (including loans originated and purchased for investment and loans originated and purchased for sale) were $575.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, an increase of three percent from $556.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2015, but 23 percent lower than the $747.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (sequential quarter).
The sale and operations of real estate owned acquired in the settlement of loans resulted in a net gain of $229,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to a net loss of $19,000 in the comparable period last year. Two real estate owned properties were sold in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to two real estate owned properties sold and one real estate owned property written off in the same quarter last year. Two real estate owned properties were acquired in the settlement of loans during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, compared to three real estate owned properties acquired in the settlement of loans in the comparable period last year. As of September 30, 2015, the real estate owned balance was $3.7 million (three properties), compared to $2.4 million (three properties) at June 30, 2015.
Non-interest expenses increased $621,000, or five percent, to $14.36 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from $13.74 million in the same quarter last year, primarily as a result of the increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, partly offset by decreases in premises and occupancy and other operating expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was primarily related to the increase in mortgage banking loan production resulting in higher variable compensation expense.
The Company’s efficiency ratio improved to 78 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 from 81 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The improvement was primarily the result of the increases in net interest income and non-interest income, partly offset by the increase in non-interest expense.
The Company’s provision for income taxes was $1.75 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, an increase of $14,000 or one percent, from $1.74 million in the same quarter last year, as a result of the increase in income before taxes. The effective income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was 41.7 percent as compared to 42.1 percent in the same quarter last year. The Company believes that the tax provision recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 reflects its current income tax obligations.
The Company repurchased 215,929 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 at an average cost of $16.56 per share. As of September 30, 2015, a total of 297,596 shares or 69 percent of the shares authorized in the April 2015 stock repurchase plan have been purchased, leaving 133,055 shares available for future purchases.
The Bank currently operates 15 retail/business banking offices in Riverside County and San Bernardino County (Inland Empire). Provident Bank Mortgage operates two wholesale loan production offices and 13 retail loan production offices located throughout California.
