Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K filing by Provident Financial Holdings, Inc. (the "Corporation") reports a corporate event dated June 13, 2016. The filing concerns the relocation of the full-service Home Office branch of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Provident Savings Bank, F.S.B. ("Bank"), from 3756 Central Avenue to 6570 Magnolia Avenue in Riverside, California.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide standard financial metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The only financial data disclosed relates to the incremental costs associated with the branch relocation and subsequent office consolidation.
- First-Year Additional Expense: Approximately $325,000.

Material Changes
The primary material change is the physical relocation of the Bank's Home Office branch to a location directly across the street from the previous site. The Corporation anticipates no significant customer disruption. The previous branch space will be converted to traditional office use to expand the Administrative Headquarters. This transition involves relocating personnel and allowing certain existing leases to expire over an approximate one-year period.
Outlook and Management Commentary
Management expects the transition to take approximately one year to complete. The strategy involves utilizing the vacated branch space to expand administrative operations and reduce reliance on existing leases that are set to expire. The filing notes that while there will be an initial increase in occupancy expenses, the annual additional cost will decrease significantly after the transition is finalized.
Investor Verification Points
- Verify the actual impact of the $325,000 first-year expense on the Corporation's operating results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.
- Confirm the timeline for the expiration of existing leases and the successful relocation of personnel to the Administrative Headquarters.
- Monitor whether the projected reduction to $125,000 in annual additional expenses is achieved post-transition.
