[Financial Performance Summary](index=1&type=section&id=Financial%20Performance%20Summary) [Q4 & Fiscal Year 2025 Performance Overview](index=1&type=section&id=Q4%20%26%20Fiscal%20Year%202025%20Performance%20Overview) Provident Financial Holdings reported net income of $1.63 million for Q4 2025, a 17% decrease year-over-year and a 12% decrease sequentially. For the full fiscal year 2025, net income was $6.26 million, down 15% from fiscal 2024. The decline was primarily driven by lower non-interest income and higher non-interest expenses, which were partially offset by increased net interest income and credit loss recoveries. Despite a quarterly dip in loan portfolio growth due to prepayments, the company noted improved fundamentals such as a better net interest margin, stabilized deposits, and reduced borrowings Q4 FY2025 vs. Q4 FY2024 Performance | Metric | Q4 2025 | Q4 2024 | Change | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Net Income | $1.63 million | $1.95 million | -17% | | Diluted EPS | $0.24 | $0.28 | -14.3% | Fiscal Year 2025 vs. Fiscal Year 2024 Performance | Metric | FY 2025 | FY 2024 | Change | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Net Income | $6.26 million | $7.35 million | -15% | | Diluted EPS | $0.93 | $1.06 | -12% | Q4 FY2025 vs. Q3 FY2025 (Sequential) Performance | Metric | Q4 2025 | Q3 2025 | Change | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Net Income | $1.63 million | $1.86 million | -12% | | Diluted EPS | $0.24 | $0.28 | -14% | - CEO Donavon P. Ternes highlighted an improved operating environment in fiscal 2025, citing **better net interest margin**, **stabilized deposit balances**, **declining borrowings**, and **strong credit quality**, despite a temporary interruption in loan portfolio growth due to prepayments[3](index=3&type=chunk) [Detailed Financial Analysis](index=2&type=section&id=Detailed%20Financial%20Analysis) The company's financial performance in Q4 2025 was shaped by several key factors. Net interest income grew 5% year-over-year to $8.88 million, benefiting from a 20 basis point expansion in net interest margin to 2.94%. However, non-interest income fell 40% due to the absence of a prior-year gain, while non-interest expenses rose 6% on higher salary costs. A recovery of credit losses of $164,000 was recorded, compared to a smaller recovery in the prior year [Net Interest Income](index=2&type=section&id=Net%20Interest%20Income) Net interest income for Q4 2025 increased by 5% year-over-year to $8.88 million, driven by a 20 basis point rise in net interest margin to 2.94%. This improvement stemmed from a 16 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets and a 6 basis point decrease in average funding costs. The positive margin impact was partially offset by a 2% decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets. Interest income on loans grew due to higher yields, while interest expense on deposits increased due to a shift towards higher-cost time deposits Net Interest Income and Margin (Q4 FY2025 vs. Q4 FY2024) | Metric | Q4 2025 | Q4 2024 | Change | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Net Interest Income | $8.88 million | $8.45 million | +5% | | Net Interest Margin | 2.94% | 2.74% | +20 bps | | Avg. Yield on Interest-Earning Assets | 4.67% | 4.51% | +16 bps | | Avg. Funding Costs | 1.91% | 1.97% | -6 bps | - Interest income on loans receivable increased by **2% to $13.10 million**, as a **13 basis point increase** in the average loan yield (to **4.97%**) offset a **1% decrease** in the average loan balance[9](index=9&type=chunk)[10](index=10&type=chunk) - Interest expense on deposits rose **5% to $2.98 million**, primarily due to a **6 basis point increase** in the average cost of deposits to **1.33%**, reflecting a larger proportion of higher-rate time deposits[15](index=15&type=chunk) - Interest expense on borrowings decreased **15% to $2.24 million**, driven by an **11% decrease** in the average balance of borrowings and a **26 basis point reduction** in their average cost[17](index=17&type=chunk) [Provision for Credit Losses](index=4&type=section&id=Provision%20for%20Credit%20Losses) In Q4 2025, the company recorded a recovery of credit losses of $164,000, an improvement from a $12,000 recovery in the same quarter last year. The recovery was primarily attributed to a decline in the balance of loans held for investment and lower historical loss rates - A recovery of credit losses of **$164,000** was recorded in Q4 2025, compared to a **$12,000 recovery** in Q4 2024[19](index=19&type=chunk) - The recovery was mainly due to a **decrease in the loans held for investment balance** and **lower historical loss rates** compared to the prior quarter[19](index=19&type=chunk) [Non-Interest Income](index=5&type=section&id=Non-Interest%20Income) Non-interest income for Q4 2025 decreased significantly by 40% to $880,000 from $1.47 million in the prior-year quarter. The primary reason for this decline was the absence of a $540,000 net unrealized gain on other equity investments that was recorded in Q4 2024 - Non-interest income fell by **$587,000 (40%)** year-over-year, primarily because a **$540,000 net unrealized gain** from the prior year's quarter was not repeated[23](index=23&type=chunk) [Non-Interest Expense](index=5&type=section&id=Non-Interest%20Expense) Non-interest expense in Q4 2025 increased by 6% year-over-year to $7.62 million. The rise was mainly due to a $352,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $103,000 increase in other operating expenses. Sequentially, expenses decreased by 3% due to a non-recurring litigation settlement in the previous quarter. The efficiency ratio worsened to 78.06% from 72.31% a year ago - Non-interest expense increased by **$448,000 (6%)** year-over-year, driven by higher **salaries and employee benefits (+ $352,000)** and **other operating expenses (+ $103,000)**[24](index=24&type=chunk) - The efficiency ratio increased to **78.06%** in Q4 2025, compared to **72.31%** in Q4 2024 and **77.64%** in Q3 2025[25](index=25&type=chunk) [Income Taxes](index=5&type=section&id=Income%20Taxes) The provision for income taxes was $680,000 for Q4 2025, representing a 16% decrease from the same quarter last year. The decline was a direct result of lower pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 29.5%, slightly higher than the 29.2% in the prior-year quarter Income Tax Provision and Effective Rate | Metric | Q4 2025 | Q4 2024 | Q3 2025 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Provision for Income Taxes | $680,000 | $805,000 | $797,000 | | Effective Tax Rate | 29.5% | 29.2% | 30.0% | [Balance Sheet and Asset Quality](index=1&type=section&id=Balance%20Sheet%20and%20Asset%20Quality) [Balance Sheet Analysis](index=1&type=section&id=Balance%20Sheet%20Analysis) As of June 30, 2025, total assets stood at $1.25 billion. Loans held for investment decreased by 1% year-over-year to $1.05 billion. Total deposits remained virtually unchanged at $888.8 million, though there was a compositional shift from core deposits to higher-cost time deposits. Borrowings decreased, and the company maintained a strong liquidity position with $474.8 million in total available borrowing capacity Key Balance Sheet Items (as of June 30, 2025) | Metric | June 30, 2025 | June 30, 2024 | Change | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Total Assets | $1.246 billion | $1.272 billion | -2.0% | | Loans Held for Investment, Net | $1.046 billion | $1.053 billion | -0.7% | | Total Deposits | $888.8 million | $888.3 million | ~0% | | Total Borrowings | $213.1 million | $238.5 million | -10.6% | | Total Stockholders' Equity | $128.5 million | $129.9 million | -1.1% | - Core deposits decreased by **6% to $576.5 million**, while time deposits increased by **14% to $312.3 million**, indicating a shift in deposit mix[16](index=16&type=chunk) - The company had total available borrowing capacity of approximately **$474.8 million** at June 30, 2025, from sources including the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank[18](index=18&type=chunk) [Asset Quality](index=4&type=section&id=Asset%20Quality) Asset quality showed significant improvement year-over-year. Non-performing assets decreased by 46% to $1.4 million, representing just 0.11% of total assets at June 30, 2025, down from 0.20% a year earlier. The allowance for credit losses on loans decreased to $6.4 million (0.62% of gross loans) from $7.1 million (0.67% of gross loans), primarily due to improved qualitative factors and lower historical loss rates.
