REPORTS THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

Net Interest Margin Expands by 20 Basis Points

Operating Expenses Decline by 17%

Deposits Increase to $1.03 Billion


Riverside, Calif. – May 19, 2008 – Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Company”), NASDAQ GS: PROV, the holding company for Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. (“Bank”), today announced third quarter earnings for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.
            For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company reported net income of $957,000, or $0.15 per diluted share (on 6.20 million weighted-average shares outstanding), compared to net income of $2.36 million, or $0.36 per diluted share (on 6.62 million weighted-average shares outstanding), in the comparable period a year ago.  The decline in net income in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 was primarily attributable to an increase in the provision for loan losses, a decrease in gain on sale of loans and a net loss on the sale of real estate owned properties, 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.
“The deterioration in credit quality and difficult mortgage banking environment remain the principal reasons that earnings have come under pressure,” said Craig G.

Blunden, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  “Improving fundamentals such as an expanding net interest margin, lower operating expenses, higher deposit account fees and a growing retail deposit franchise has not, to date, been enough to overcome the current operating environment.”
Return on average assets for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was 0.23 percent, compared to 0.54 percent for the same period of fiscal 2007.  Return on average stockholders’ equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was 2.99 percent, compared to 7.07 percent for the comparable period of fiscal 2007.
On a sequential quarter basis, net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased by $87,000, or eight percent, to $957,000 from $1.04 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2008; and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.02, or 12 percent, to $0.15 from $0.17 in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  Return on average assets decreased three basis points to 0.23 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from 0.26 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and return on average equity for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was 2.99 percent, compared to 3.30 percent for the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, net income was $2.61 million, a decrease of 70 percent from net income of $8.62 million for the comparable period ended March 31, 2007; and diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $0.86, or 67 percent, to $0.42 from $1.28 for the comparable period last year.  Return on average assets for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 decreased 45 basis points to 0.22 percent from 0.67 percent for the nine-month period a year earlier.

Return on average stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was 2.73 percent, compared to 8.47 percent for the nine-month period a year earlier.
Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $62,000, or one percent, to $10.72 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from $10.66 million for the same period in fiscal 2007.  Non-interest income decreased $2.08 million, or 57 percent, to $1.60 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from $3.68 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2007.  Non-interest expense decreased $1.46 million, or 17 percent, to $7.30 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from $8.76 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2007.
The average balance of loans outstanding decreased by $90.0 million to $1.40 billion in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from $1.49 billion in the same quarter of fiscal 2007, and the average yield decreased by 18 basis points to 6.17 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from an average yield of 6.35 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 which had 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 third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $67.5 million (including $28.3 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 $79.8 million (including $29.3 million of loans purchased for investment) in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.  The outstanding balance of “preferred loans” (multi-family, commercial real estate,

construction and commercial business loans) increased by $48.7 million, or nine percent, to $593.2 million at March 31, 2008 from $544.5 million at March 31, 2007.  The ratio of preferred loans to total loans held for investment increased to 42 percent at March 31, 2008 compared to 39 percent at March 31, 2007.  Loan payments in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $51.9 million, compared to $97.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.
Average deposits increased by $53.8 million to $1.01 billion and the average cost of deposits decreased by five basis points to 3.36 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to an average balance of $958.5 million and an average cost of 3.41 percent in the same quarter last year.  Transaction account balances (core deposits) decreased by $18.5 million, or five percent, to $348.1 million at March 31, 2008 from $366.6 million at March 31, 2007.  The decrease is primarily attributable to a $13.4 million, or eight percent, decline in savings account balances.  Time deposits increased by $66.4 million, or 11 percent, to $684.1 million at March 31, 2008 compared to $617.7 million at March 31, 2007.  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 $162.8 million to $473.3 million and the average cost of advances decreased 63 basis points to 4.11 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to an average balance of $636.1 million and an average cost of 4.74 percent in the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  The decrease in the average cost of borrowings was primarily the result of maturing long-term advances

which had a higher average cost and lower short-term advance interest rates, which are responding to recent Federal Open Market Committee actions.
The net interest margin during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 20 basis points to 2.69 percent from 2.49 percent during the same quarter last year.  On a sequential quarter basis, the net interest margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 increased 27 basis points from 2.42 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded a loan loss provision of $3.15 million, compared to a loan loss provision of $1.19 million during the same period of fiscal 2007.  The loan loss provision in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily attributable to loan classification downgrades and deterioration in real estate collateral values ($2.94 million) and an increase in loans held for investment ($207,000).
Non-performing assets increased to $27.3 million, or 1.63 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2008, compared to $14.7 million, or 0.83 percent of total assets at March 31, 2007 and $19.7 million, or 1.20 percent of total assets, at June 30, 2007.  The non-performing assets at March 31, 2008 were primarily comprised of 43 single-family loans originated for investment ($13.4 million), one multi-family loan originated for investment ($554,000), one commercial real estate loan originated for investment ($835,000), 16 construction loans originated for investment ($2.0 million), eight single-family loans repurchased from, or unable to sell to, investors ($2.8 million) and real estate owned comprised of 20 single-family properties and 11 lots acquired in the settlement of loans ($7.7 million).  Net charge-offs for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $3.58 million or 1.02 percent of average loans receivable, compared to $3,000 or zero percent of average loans receivable in the comparable quarter last year.

Classified loans at March 31, 2008 were $39.8 million, comprised of $13.7 million in the special mention category, $25.8 million in the substandard category and $276,000 in the doubtful category.  Classified loans at June 30, 2007 were $32.3 million, consisting of $13.3 million in the special mention category and $19.0 million in the substandard category.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, 19 loans for $6.6 million were modified from their original terms, were re-underwritten at current market interest rates and were identified in our asset quality reports as Restructured Loans.  As of March 31, 2008, a total of $9.3 million of loans have been modified, 25 classified as special mention which remain on accrual status ($8.9 million) and one classified as substandard on non-accrual status ($445,000).
The allowance for loan losses was $16.7 million at March 31, 2008, or 1.18 percent of gross loans held for investment, compared to $14.8 million, or 1.09 percent of gross loans held for investment at June 30, 2007.  The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2008 includes $4.3 million of specific loan loss reserves, compared to $3.3 million of specific loan loss reserves at June 30, 2007.  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 third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same period of fiscal 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in the gain on sale of loans and net losses on the sale of real estate owned properties, partly offset by an increase in deposit account fees.  In March 2008, the Company recognized $91,000 of income resulting from the VISA mandatory share redemption and the reversal of the VISA litigation liabilities.

The gain on sale of loans declined by $2.00 million, or 87 percent, to $306,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 from $2.31 million in the comparable quarter last year.  The decline in the gain on sale of loans was attributable to a lower volume of loans sold and a lower average loan sale margin.  Total loans sold for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were $70.0 million, down 74 percent from $273.8 million for the same quarter last year.  The average loan sale margin for mortgage banking was 41 basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, down 30 basis points from 71 basis points in the comparable quarter last year.  The mortgage banking environment remains highly competitive and volatile as a result of the well-publicized deterioration of the single-family real estate market.
The volume of loans originated for sale decreased $219.3 million, or 72 percent, to $86.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from $306.2 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 $154.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $231.6 million, or 60 percent, from $386.0 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.
Twelve real estate owned properties were sold for a net loss of $302,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to two real estate owned properties sold for a net gain of $18,000 in the same quarter last year.  As of March 31, 2008, the real estate owned balance was $7.7 million (31 properties), compared to $3.8 million (10 properties) at June 30, 2007.

The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily the result of decreases in compensation, premises and occupancy, equipment, marketing and other operating expenses, partly offset by an increase in professional expenses. The decrease in compensation expense was the result of the fewer number of mortgage banking personnel in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2007, lower incentive compensation expenses given the decline in loan origination volume and lower ESOP expenses compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2007.  Total ESOP expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased $331,000, or 54%, to $278,000 from $609,000 in the same period of fiscal 2007.  The decrease in premises and occupancy expense was primarily related to the closures of six Provident Bank Mortgage loan production offices during the first half of fiscal 2008, while the increase in professional expenses was primarily related to higher legal expenses corresponding to the increase in delinquent loans.
The Company’s efficiency ratio improved slightly to 59 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from 61 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2007.  The slight improvement was the net result of an increase in net interest income, a decrease in non-interest income and a decrease non-interest expense.
The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 was 48.9 percent, up from 46.3 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 third quarter of fiscal 2008 reflects its current income tax obligations.
