PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS
REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS


Preferred Loans Increase to 40% of Loans Held for Investment

Net Interest Margin Expands (Sequential Quarter)

Operating Expenses Decline by 13% (Sequential Quarter)

 

        Riverside, Calif. - October 23, 2007 - Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. ("Company"), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), today announced first quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.

        For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Company reported net income of $758,000, or $0.12 per diluted share (on 6.17 million weighted-average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $5.26 million, or $0.77 per diluted share (on 6.79 million weighted-average shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago. The decline in net income in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to decreases in net interest income, gain on sale of loans and gain on sale of real estate, partly offset by a decrease in compensation expense. The decrease in weighted-average shares outstanding primarily reflects repurchases of common stock through the Company's stock repurchase programs.

        "This was a disappointing quarter in a difficult operating environment," said Craig G. Blunden, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

"The mortgage banking business became much worse this quarter with little liquidity in the secondary market except for conforming loan products. As a result, loans originated for sale declined precipitously and we responded by closing one mortgage banking office during the quarter and announcing our intention to close five more by December 31, 2007."

        Mr. Blunden went on to say, "The positive momentum that we have established in our community banking business, such as sequential quarter preferred loan and deposit growth, was insufficient to overcome the drag from mortgage banking."

        Return on average assets for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 0.19 percent, compared to 1.27 percent for the same period of fiscal 2007. Return on average stockholders' equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 2.36 percent, compared to 15.25 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2007.

        On a sequential quarter basis, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by $1.24 million, or 62 percent, to $758,000 from $2.00 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007; and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.20, or 63 percent, to $0.12 from $0.32 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Return on average assets decreased 28 basis points to 0.19 percent for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from 0.47 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and return on average equity for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 2.36 percent, compared to 6.09 percent for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

        Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $1.37 million, or 13 percent, to $9.37 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from $10.74 million for the same period in fiscal 2007. Non-interest income decreased $6.01 million, or 81 percent, to $1.38 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from $7.39 million in the

Page 2 of 15

<PAGE>

comparable period of fiscal 2007. Non-interest expense decreased $591,000, or seven percent, to $7.63 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from $8.22 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2007.

        The average balance of loans outstanding decreased by $12.7 million to $1.37 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from $1.39 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2007, and the average yield decreased by seven basis points to 6.26 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from an average yield of 6.33 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in the average loan yield was primarily attributable to accrued interest reversals on non-accrual loans and loan payoffs at a higher average yield than the average yield of loans held for investment, partly offset by higher interest rates on newly originated loans and the upwardly repricing adjustable rate loans in the loans held for investment portfolio. Total loans originated for investment in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $91.4 million (including $42.2 million of loans purchased for investment), which consisted primarily of multi-family and single-family loans. This compares to total loans originated for investment of $110.1 million (including $35.5 million of loans purchased for investment) in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The outstanding balance of "preferred loans" (multi-family, commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans) increased by $74.7 million, or 16 percent, to $545.2 million at September 30, 2007 from $470.5 million at September 30, 2006. The ratio of preferred loans to total loans held for investment increased to 40 percent at September 30, 2007 compared to 36 percent at September 30, 2006. Loan prepayments in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 were $72.3 million, compared to $78.4 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.

        Average deposits increased by $89.3 million to $1.01 billion and the average cost of deposits increased by 71 basis points to 3.66 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to an average balance of $916.6 million and an average cost of 2.95 percent in the same quarter last year. Transaction account balances (core deposits) decreased by $42.8 million, or 11 percent, to $336.1 million at September 30, 2007 from $378.9 million at September 30, 2006. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $25.7 million, or 15 percent, decline in savings account balances. Time deposits increased by $135.0 million, or 25 percent, to $676.0 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $541.0 million at September 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, decreased $125.3 million to $444.7 million and the average cost of advances decreased seven basis points to 4.54 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to an average balance of $570.0 million and an average cost of 4.61 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in the average cost of borrowings was primarily the result of lower short-term and overnight balances at higher average interest rates, partly offset by maturities of long-term advances at lower average interest rates.

        The net interest margin during the first quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased 27 basis points to 2.40 percent from 2.67 percent during the same quarter last year. On a sequential quarter basis, the net interest margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 increased three basis points from 2.37 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007.

        During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded a loan loss provision of $1.52 million, compared to a loan loss provision of $637,000 during the same period of fiscal 2007. The loan loss provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to loan classification downgrades and deterioration in real estate collateral values ($1.35 million) and an increase in loans held for investment ($168,000).

        Non-performing assets increased to $20.6 million, or 1.28 percent of total assets, at September 30, 2007, compared to $4.4 million, or 0.26 percent of total assets at September 30, 2006 and $19.7 million, or 1.20 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2007. The non-performing assets at September 30, 2007 were primarily comprised of 20 single-family loans originated for investment ($6.7 million), 24 construction loans originated for investment ($3.1 million), 17 single-family loans repurchased from, or unable to sell to, investors ($4.8 million) and 14 single-family properties (REO) acquired in the settlement of loans ($5.6 million). Net charge-offs for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 were $765,000 or 0.22 percent of average loans receivable, compared to $105,000 or 0.03 percent of average loans receivable in the comparable quarter last year.

        Classified loans at September 30, 2007 were $28.8 million, comprised of $6.4 million in the special mention category, $21.9 million in the substandard category and $529,000 in the doubtful category. Classified loans 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.

        The allowance for loan losses was $15.6 million at September 30, 2007, or 1.13 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $10.8 million, or 0.82 percent of gross loans held for investment at September 30, 2006. The allowance for loan losses at

Page 5 of 15

<PAGE>

September 30, 2007 includes $3.7 million of specific loan loss reserves, compared to $104,000 of specific loan loss reserves at September 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 first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period of fiscal 2007 was primarily the result of decreases in the gain on sale of real estate and the gain on sale of loans. The decrease in the gain on sale of real estate was primarily attributable to the sale of land with a pre-tax gain of $2.31 million ($1.34 million, net of statutory taxes) in the quarter ended September 30, 2006 (not replicated this year). The gain on sale of loans declined by $3.37 million, or 97 percent, to $122,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 from $3.49 million in the comparable quarter last year. The decline in the gain on sale of loans was attributable to the lower volume of loans sold and the lower average loan sale margin. Total loans sold for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 was $96.8 million, down 69 percent from $316.1 million for the same quarter last year. The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 11 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, down 100 basis points from 111 basis points in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease in the average loan sale margin was primarily attributable to a $309,000 lower of cost or market adjustment on unsaleable loans that were moved to loans held for investment, the $73,000 loss on derivative financial instruments consistent with SFAS No. 133, and a $76,000 reserve provision for loans sold that are subject to early payment default repurchase. The mortgage banking environment remains highly competitive and volatile

Page 6 of 15

<PAGE>

as a result of the well-publicized collapse of the sub-prime loan market, which has eroded loan sale prices and liquidity in the secondary market.

        The volume of loans originated for sale decreased $220.0 million, or 69 percent, to $99.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from $319.5 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 $190.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $238.8 million, or 56 percent, from $429.7 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in loan originations was primarily attributable to the lack of liquidity in the secondary mortgage markets particularly for non-conforming mortgage loans.

        In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, 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 $73,000, compared to a gain of $319,000 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 primarily the result of a decrease in compensation expense, which was lower because of the fewer number of mortgage banking personnel in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in compensation expense was partly offset by higher professional expenses.

<PAGE>

        The Company's efficiency ratio increased to 71 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 from 45 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase was a result of the declines in net interest income and non-interest income which outpaced the decline in non-interest expense.

        The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was 52.7 percent, up from 43.3 percent in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily the result of a higher percentage of permanent tax differences relative to income before taxes. The Company believes that the effective income tax rate applied in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 reflects its current income tax obligations.

        The Company repurchased 150,712 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 at an average cost of $22.40 per share. To date, the Company has repurchased 47 percent of the June 2007 Stock Repurchase Program, leaving 168,135 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 two wholesale loan production offices in Pleasanton and Rancho Cucamonga, California and two retail loan production offices in Glendora and Riverside, California. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, PBM closed one loan production office in Vista, California and during the second quarter of fiscal 2008, PBM announced that it intends to close its loan production offices in Diamond Bar, La Quinta, San Diego, Temecula and Torrance, California.
