PROVIDENT FINANCIAL HOLDINGS INC Commitments Disclosure

Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies

​

Periodically, there have been various claims and lawsuits involving the Corporation, such as claims to enforce liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Corporation holds security interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans, employment matters and other issues in the ordinary course of and incidental to the Corporation’s business. These proceedings and the associated legal claims are often contested and the outcome of individual matters is not always predictable. Additionally, in some actions, it is difficult to assess potential exposure because the Corporation is still in the early stages of the litigation. The Corporation is not a party to any pending legal proceedings that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, operations or cash flows.

​

The Corporation conducts a portion of its operations in leased facilities and has maintenance contracts under non-cancelable agreements classified as operating or finance leases, which include leases recorded under ASC 842 on liabilities for future lease obligations as well as assets representing the right-to-use the underlying leased assets (See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

​

The following is a schedule of the Corporation’s lease and operating commitments:

​

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the lease and operating commitment expense was approximately $2.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

​

The Bank sold single-family mortgage loans to unrelated third parties with standard representation and warranty provisions in the ordinary course of its business activities. Under these provisions, the Bank is required to repurchase any previously sold loan for which the representations or warranties of the Bank prove to be inaccurate, incomplete or misleading. In the event of a borrower default or fraud, pursuant to a breached representation or warranty, the Bank may be required to reimburse the investor for any losses suffered. During fiscal 2025 and 2024, the Bank did not repurchase any loans. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Bank maintained a non-contingent recourse liability related to these representations and warranties of $17,000 and $18,000, respectively. In addition, the Bank maintained a recourse liability of $6,000 and $8,000, respectively, for loans sold to the FHLB – San Francisco under the MPF program.

​

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation enters into contracts with third parties under which the third parties provide services on behalf of the Corporation. In many of these contracts, the Corporation agrees to indemnify the third party service provider under certain circumstances. The terms of the indemnity vary from contract to contract and the amount of the indemnification liability, if any, cannot be determined. The Corporation also enters into other contracts and agreements; such as, loan sale agreements, litigation settlement agreements, confidentiality agreements, loan servicing agreements, leases and subleases, among others, in which the Corporation agrees to indemnify third parties for acts by the Corporation’s agents, assignees and/or sub-lessees, and employees. Due to the nature of these indemnification provisions, the Corporation cannot calculate its aggregate potential exposure.
