SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Capital City Investments, Inc. is a real estate and investment holding company. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

At times, the Bank enters into FHLB advances with contractual maturities of 90 days or less. Cash flows related to these advances are reported on a net basis in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
-
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-06,
Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative.
This ASU incorporates a variety of Topics into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification") that are currently included in SEC Regulations S-X and S-K. The ASU is intended to align the accounting standards of GAAP with SEC Regulations S-X and S-K. Each amendment in the ASU will only become effective for the Company if the SEC removes the related disclosure or presentation requirement from its existing regulations by June 30, 2027. This may result in disclosures currently presented outside of the Company's financial statements being relocated to the Company's financial statements. The amendments will be applied prospectively by the Company. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's disclosures as the Company is currently subject to SEC Regulations S-X and S-K.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07,
Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
. This ASU requires enhanced disclosures of segment information for all public entities, including those that have a single reportable segment, primarily in the area of segment revenues and expenses. Entities that have a single reportable segment, like the Company, will be required to provide all the disclosures required by this ASU and all existing segment disclosures required by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280,
Segment Reporting
. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, which is the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025 for the Company, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, which is the quarter ending December 31, 2025 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on the Company's segment disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,
Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
. This ASU requires public entities to provide additional annual disclosures regarding specific categories of the income tax rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items within the income tax rate reconciliation that meet a certain quantitative threshold. This ASU is effective for the Company on October 1, 2025, starting with its Form 10-Q for the quarter ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on the Company's income tax disclosures.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02,
Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements
. This ASU removes references to various Concept Statements to simplify the Codification and provide a distinction between authoritative and nonauthoritative literature. This ASU is effective for the Company on October 1, 2025, starting with its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating this ASU, but it is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operation or the Company's disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
. This ASU requires additional expense disclosures by public entities in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU outlines the specific costs that are required to be disclosed, which include costs such as: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling costs, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization related to oil and gas production. It also requires qualitative descriptions of the amounts remaining in the relevant expense income statement captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively in the notes to the financial statements and the entity's definition of selling expenses. The disclosures are required for each interim and annual reporting period. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, which is the fiscal year ending September 30, 2028 for the Company. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-1,
Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Clarifying the Effective
9
Date.
The FASB clarified the interim date reporting when an entity adopts ASU 2024-03. Per ASU 2025-01, ASU 2024-03 is effective for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, which is the quarter ending December 31, 2028 for the Company. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this ASU will have on the Company's expense disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Shares acquired by the ESOP are not included in basic average shares outstanding until the shares are committed for allocation or vested to an employee's individual account. Unvested shares awarded pursuant to the Company's restricted stock benefit plans are treated as participating securities in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method as they contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security.

The unrealized losses at March 31, 2025 were a result of an increase in market yields from the time the securities were purchased. In general, as market yields rise, the fair value of securities will decrease; as market yields fall, the fair value of securities will increase. Management did not record an ACL on securities in an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2025 as management did not believe any of the securities were impaired due to credit quality reasons. The issuers of these securities continue to make scheduled and timely principal and interest payments, as applicable, under the contractual term of the securities, so management believes the entire principal balance will be collected as scheduled. Additionally, management does not have the intent to sell any of the securities, and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of the remaining amortized cost, which could be at maturity. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date, if not before, or if market yields decline.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of AFS debt securities as of March 31, 2025, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual principal repayments may differ from contractual maturities due to prepayment or early call privileges by the issuer. In the case of MBS, borrowers on the underlying loans generally have the right to prepay their loans without penalty. For this reason, MBS are not included in the maturity category in the table below.

Lending Practices and Underwriting Standards
-
The Bank originates one- to four-family loans, originates and participates in commercial loans, and originates consumer loans primarily secured by one- to four-family residential properties. The Bank has historically purchased one- to four-family loans from correspondent lenders, but during the prior fiscal year, the Bank suspended its one- to four-family correspondent lending channels for the foreseeable future.
One- to four-family loans
- Full documentation to support an applicant's credit and income, and sufficient funds to cover all applicable fees and reserves at closing, are required on all loans. Properties securing one- to four-family loans are appraised by either staff appraisers or fee appraisers, both of which are independent of the loan origination function.
The underwriting standards for loans purchased from correspondent lenders were generally similar to the Bank's internal underwriting standards. The underwriting of loans purchased from correspondent lenders was performed by the Bank's underwriters on a loan-by-loan basis.
The Bank also originates owner-occupied construction-to-permanent loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. Construction draw requests and the supporting documentation are reviewed and approved by designated personnel. The Bank also performs regular documented inspections of the construction project to ensure the funds are being used for the intended purpose and the project is being completed according to the plans and specifications provided.
Commercial loans
- The Bank's commercial loan portfolio includes loans originated by the Bank or in participation with a lead bank. For commercial participation loans, the Bank performs the same underwriting procedures as if the loan was originated by the Bank.
When underwriting a commercial real estate or commercial construction loan, several factors are considered, such as the income producing potential of the property, cash equity provided by the borrower, the financial strength of the borrower, managerial expertise of the borrower or tenant, feasibility studies, lending experience with the borrower and the marketability of the property. At the time of origination, loan-
13
to-value ("LTV") ratios on commercial real estate loans generally do not exceed
85
% of the appraised value of the property securing the loans and the minimum debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR") is generally
1.15
x. The Bank generally requires a guaranty on all commercial real estate loans, but for an experienced borrower with a strong DSCR and low LTV ratio, the Bank may allow the guaranty percentage to be reduced or phased out, or the Bank may originate the loan as a non-recourse loan.
For commercial construction loans, LTV ratios generally do not exceed
80
% of the projected appraised value of the property securing the loans and the minimum DSCR is generally
1.15
x, but it applies to the projected cash flows, and the borrower must have successful experience with the construction and operation of properties similar to the subject property. Appraisals on properties securing these loans are performed by independent state certified fee appraisers. For construction loans, guaranties are typically required during the period of construction. After construction is complete, for select experienced borrowers that have a strong DSCR and low LTV ratio, the guaranty may be reduced or phased out when the property meets certain performance metrics. Additionally, the Bank generally requires the borrower to contribute equity at the start of a project and prior to any Bank funding.
The Bank's commercial and industrial loans are generally made to borrowers and secured by assets located in the Bank's market areas and are underwritten on the basis of the borrower's ability to service the debt from income. Working capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas term loans are primarily collateralized by longer-term assets. In general, commercial and industrial loans involve different types of credit risk than commercial real estate loans due to the nature of the loans and the type of collateral securing the loans. As a result of these complexities, variables and risks, commercial and industrial loans generally require evaluation of different metrics and factors before origination and require more monitoring and servicing after origination than other types of loans.
Management regularly monitors the level of risk in the entire commercial loan portfolio, including concentrations in factors such as collateral types, geographic locations, tenant brand name, borrowing relationships, and, in the case of participation loans, lending relationships, among other factors. Commercial loans that have an outstanding balance of $
1.5
million or more, or borrowing relationships with a total relationship exposure of $
5.0
million or more are reviewed no less often than annually to monitor financial performance. The annual reviews include evaluating updated financials, as well as performing stress tests to measure the ability of the borrowers to withstand certain stress scenarios such as interest rate increases, revenue decreases and expense increases.
Consumer loans -
The Bank offers a variety of consumer loans, the majority of which are home equity loans and lines of credit for which the Bank also has the first mortgage or the first lien position.
The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of an applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of an applicant's ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of an applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Credit Quality Indicators
-
Based on the Bank's lending emphasis and underwriting standards, management has segmented the loan portfolio into three segments: (1) one- to four-family; (2) consumer; and (3) commercial. These segments are further divided into classes for purposes of providing disaggregated credit quality information about the loan portfolio. The classes are: one- to four-family - originated, one- to four-family - correspondent purchased, one- to four-family - bulk purchased, consumer - home equity, consumer - other, commercial - commercial real estate, and commercial - commercial and industrial. One- to four-family construction loans are included in the originated class and commercial construction loans are included in the commercial real estate class. As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to loan classification and delinquency status.
Loan Classification
- In accordance with the Bank's asset classification policy, management regularly reviews the problem loans in the Bank's portfolio to determine whether any require classification. Loan classifications are defined as follows:
•
Special mention - These loans are performing loans on which known information about the collateral pledged or the possible credit problems of the borrower(s) have caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower(s) to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the nonaccrual loan categories.
•
Substandard - A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
•
Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts and conditions and values highly questionable and improbable.
•
Loss - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets on the books is not warranted.
14
The following tables set forth, as of the dates indicated, the amortized cost of loans by class of financing receivable, year of origination or most recent credit decision, and loan classification. Amortized cost is the amount of unpaid principal, net of undisbursed loan funds, unamortized premiums and discounts, and deferred fees and costs. All revolving lines of credit and revolving lines of credit converted to term loans are presented separately, regardless of origination year. Loans classified as doubtful or loss are individually evaluated for loss. At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, there were
no
loans classified as doubtful, and all loans classified as loss were fully charged-off.

The key assumptions in the Company's ACL model include the economic forecast, the forecast and reversion to mean time periods, and prepayment and curtailment assumptions. Management also considered certain qualitative factors when evaluating the adequacy of the ACL at March 31, 2025. The key assumptions utilized in estimating the Company's ACL at March 31, 2025 are discussed below.
•
Economic Forecast
- Management considered several economic forecasts provided by a third party and selected an economic forecast that was the most appropriate considering the facts and circumstances at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, management selected a slightly worse economic scenario to use in the discounted cash flow model than at December 31, 2024 to account for current economic conditions and future economic uncertainty related to recently issued and proposed federal government policies. The forecasted economic indices applied to the model at March 31, 2025 were the national unemployment rate, changes in commercial real estate price index, changes in home values, and changes in the U.S. gross domestic product. The economic index most impactful to all loan pools within the model at March 31, 2025 was the national unemployment rate. The forecasted national unemployment rate in the economic scenario selected by management at March 31, 2025 had the national unemployment rate remaining at
5.3
%
through March 31, 2026, which was the end of our four-quarter forecast time period.
•
Forecast and reversion to mean time periods
- The forecasted time period and the reversion to mean time period were each four quarters for all of the economic indices at March 31, 2025.
•
Prepayment and curtailment assumptions
- The assumptions used at March 31, 2025 were generally based on actual historical prepayment and curtailment speeds, adjusted by management as deemed necessary. The prepayment and curtailment assumptions vary for each respective loan pool in the model.
•
Qualitative factors
- Management applied qualitative factors at March 31, 2025 to account for large dollar commercial loan concentrations and potential risk of loss in market value for newer one- to four-family loans. These qualitative factors were applied to account for credit risks not fully reflected in the discounted cash flow model.
◦
The Company's commercial real estate and construction loans generally have low LTV ratios and strong DSCRs which serve as indicators that losses in the commercial real estate and construction loan portfolios might be unlikely; however, because there is uncertainty surrounding the nature, timing and amount of expected losses, management believes that in the event of a realized loss within the large dollar commercial loan pools, the magnitude of such a loss could be significant. The large dollar commercial loan concentration qualitative factor addresses the risk associated with a large dollar relationship deteriorating due to a loss event. As part of its analysis, management considered external data including historical commercial real estate price index trending information from a variety of sources to help determine the amount of this qualitative factor.
◦
For one- to four-family loans, management believes there is potential risk of loss in market value for newer originations where property values have not experienced price appreciation like more seasoned loans in our portfolio and applied a qualitative factor to account for this risk. To determine the appropriate amount of the one- to four-family loan qualitative factor as of March 31, 2025, management considered external historical home price index trending information, along with the Bank's recent origination/purchase activity, historical loan loss experience and portfolio balance trending, the one-to four-family loan portfolio composition with regard to loan size, and management's knowledge of the Bank's loan portfolio and the one- to four-family lending industry.
Reserve for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
-
At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Bank's off-balance sheet credit exposures totaled $
831.9
million and $
826.5
million, respectively.
The following table summarizes the change in reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures during the periods indicated. The provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due primarily to an increase in the balance of commercial off-balance sheet credit exposures, mainly related to commitments that are expected to fund during the June 30, 2025 quarter. The increase in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures was entirely offset by the release of provision for credit losses related to the ACL for loans, resulting in no impact to the provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The increase in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures as of March 31, 2025 compared to March 31, 2024 was due primarily to an increase in commercial off-balance sheet credit exposures between periods.

BORROWED FUNDS
FHLB Borrowings and Interest Rate Swaps -
As of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Bank held interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $
200.0
million in order to hedge the variable cash flows associated with $
200.0
million of adjustable-rate FHLB advances. At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the interest rate swap agreements had an average remaining term to maturity of
1.8
years and
2.3
years, respectively. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and involved the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Bank making fixed-rate payments over the life of the interest rate swap agreements. At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the interest rate swaps were in a gain position with a total fair value of $
2.7
million and $
2.1
million, respectively, which was reported in
other assets
on the consolidated balance sheet. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2025, $
554
thousand and $
1.3
million, respectively, was reclassified from AOCI as a decrease to interest expense. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2024, $
1.7
million and $
3.6
million, respectively, was reclassified from AOCI as a decrease to interest expense. At March 31, 2025, the Company estimated that $
1.5
million of interest expense associated with the interest rate swaps would be reclassified from AOCI as a decrease to interest expense on FHLB borrowings during the next 12 months. The Bank has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative counterparties and posts collateral on a daily basis. The Bank held cash collateral of $
3.0
million and $
2.1
million at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.
In April 2025, the Bank prepaid fixed-rate FHLB advances totaling $
200.0
million with a weighted average contractual interest rate of
4.70
% and a weighted average remaining term of
0.6
years, and replaced these advances with fixed-rate FHLB advances totaling $
200.0
million with a weighted average contractual interest rate of
3.83
% and a weighted average term of
2.5
years. The Bank paid penalties of $
547
thousand to FHLB as a result of prepaying these advances. The prepayment penalties will be recognized in interest expense over the life of the new FHLB advances. The weighted average effective interest rate of the new advances was
3.93
%.
6.
INCOME TAXES
At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had a net operating loss deferred income tax asset of $
23.6
million and $
30.5
million, respectively. The gross federal and state net operating loss amount at March 31, 2025 was $
97.0
million, which
will carry forward indefinitely
. The net operating loss will be applied to the Company's taxable income, subject to federal and state regulations regarding net operation loss usage limitations, until such time as it is fully utilized. Additionally, the Company had a $
17.1
million and $
12.8
million deferred tax asset related to the Bank's low income housing tax credits as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. These credits are not currently able to be utilized due to income tax return income limitations.
Federal tax credits carry forward for 20 years.
The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence surrounding the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and applies its judgment in estimating the amount of the valuation allowance necessary under the circumstances. At March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had a valuation allowance of $
33
thousand and $
27
thousand, respectively, related to the net operating losses generated by the Company's consolidated Kansas corporate income tax return as management believes there will not be sufficient taxable income to fully utilize these deferred tax assets before they begin to expire in 2028 and thereafter. For this reason, a valuation allowance was recorded for the related amounts at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024. No additional valuation allowances were recorded for the Company's other deferred tax assets as management believes it is more likely than not that these amounts will be realized through the reversal of the Company's existing taxable temporary differences and projected future taxable income.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value Measurements
- The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures in accordance with
ASC
820 and ASC 825. The Company's AFS securities and interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other financial instruments on a non-recurring basis, such as OREO and loans individually evaluated for impairment. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual financial instruments.
The Company groups its financial instruments at fair value in three levels based on the markets in which the financial instruments are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
•
Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
•
Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
•
Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company's own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the financial instrument.
The Company bases the fair value of its financial instruments on the price that would be received from the sale of an instrument in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
AFS Securities
- The Company's AFS securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value. The Company primarily uses prices obtained from third-party pricing services to determine the fair value of its securities. On a quarterly basis, management corroborates a sample of prices obtained from the third-party pricing service for Level 2 securities by comparing them to an independent source. If the price provided by the independent source varies by more than a predetermined percentage from the price received from the third-party pricing service, then the variance is researched by management. The Company did not have to adjust prices obtained from the third-party pricing service when determining the fair value of its securities during the six months ended March 31, 2025 or during fiscal year 2024. The Company's major security types, based on the nature and risks of the securities, are:
•
MBS - The majority of these securities are issued by GSEs. Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined based on prepayment projections of the underlying mortgages and are discounted using current market yields for benchmark securities. (Level 2)
•
GSE debentures - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration and are discounted using current market yields for similar securities. (Level 2)
•
Corporate Bonds and Municipal Bonds - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration and are discounted using current market yields for securities with similar credit profiles. (Level 2)
Interest Rate Swaps
- The Company's interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are reported at fair value in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet if in a gain position and in other liabilities if in a loss position, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as AOCI in stockholders' equity. See "Note 5. Borrowed Funds" for additional information. The estimated fair values of the interest rates swaps are obtained from the counterparty and are determined by a discounted cash flow analysis using observable market-based inputs. On a quarterly basis, management corroborates the estimated fair values by internally calculating the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis with independent observable market-based inputs from a third party. No adjustments were made to the estimated fair values obtained from the counterparty during the six months ended March 31, 2025 or during fiscal year 2024. (Level 2)
The following tables provide the level of valuation assumption used to determine the carrying value of the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates presented. The Company did
no
t have any Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2025 or September 30, 2024.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for significant financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that, if changed, could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of these assets as of the reporting date
.
Loans Receivable
- Collateral dependent assets are assets evaluated on an individual basis. Those collateral dependent assets that are evaluated on an individual basis are considered financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of collateral dependent loans/loans individually evaluated for loss on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 that were still held in the portfolio as of March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $
50.2
million and $
1.2
million, respectively. Fair values of collateral dependent loans/loans individually evaluated for loss cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the loan and, as such, are classified as Level 3.
The one- to four-family loans included in this amount were individually evaluated to determine if the carrying value of the loan was in excess of the fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs of
10
%. Fair values were estimated through current appraisals. Management does not adjust or apply a discount to the appraised value of one- to four-family loans, except for the estimated sales cost noted above, and the primary unobservable input for these loans was the appraisal.
For commercial loans, if the most recent appraisal or book value of the collateral does not reflect current market conditions due to the passage of time and/or other factors, management will adjust the existing appraised or book value based on knowledge of local market conditions, recent transactions, and estimated selling costs, if applicable. Adjustments to appraised or book values are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace. The primary significant unobservable inputs for commercial loans individually evaluated during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 were downward adjustments to the book value of the collateral for lack of marketability. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the adjustments ranged from
10
% to
99
%, with a weighted average of
22
%. During the six months ended March 31, 2024, the adjustments ranged from
5
% to
100
%, with a weighted average of
16
%. The basis utilized in calculating the weighted averages for these adjustments was the original unadjusted value of each collateral item.
29
OREO
- OREO primarily represents real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and is carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value for one- to four-family OREO is estimated through current appraisals or listing prices, less estimated selling costs of
10
%. Management does not adjust or apply a discount to the appraised value or listing price, except for the estimated sales costs noted above. The primary significant unobservable input for one- to four-family OREO was the appraisal or listing price. There was
no
one- to four-family OREO measured on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended March 31, 2025. The fair value of one- to four-family OREO measured on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended March 31, 2024 was $
67
thousand. The carrying value of the properties equaled the fair value of the properties at March 31, 2024.
For commercial OREO, if the most recent appraisal or book value of the collateral does not reflect current market conditions due to the passage of time and/or other factors, management will adjust the existing appraised or book value based on knowledge of local market conditions, recent transactions, and estimated selling costs, if applicable. Adjustments to appraised or book values are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace. The primary significant unobservable input for commercial OREO is downward adjustments to book value of the collateral for lack of marketability. Fair values of foreclosed property cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale of the property and, as such, are classified as Level 3. There was
no
commercial OREO measured on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Fair Value Disclosures
- The Company estimated fair value amounts using available market information and a variety of valuation methodologies as of the dates presented. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company would realize from a current market exchange at subsequent dates.

•
our success in gaining regulatory approval of our products and services and branching locations, when required;
•
the impact of interpretations of, and changes in, financial services laws and regulations, including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities, consumer protection, trust and insurance and the impact of other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry;

the ability to attract and retain skilled employees;
•
implementing business initiatives may be more difficult or expensive than anticipated;

This list of factors is not all inclusive. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties related to our business that could adversely impact our operations and/or financial results, see "Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company or the Bank.
As used in this Form 10-Q, unless we specify or the context indicates otherwise, "the Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. a Maryland corporation, and its subsidiaries. "Capitol Federal Savings," and "the Bank," refer to Capitol Federal Savings Bank, a federal savings bank and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc.
The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company. The Bank comprises almost all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company and the Company is dependent primarily upon the performance of the Bank for the results of its operations. Because of this relationship, references to management actions, strategies and results of actions apply to both the Bank and the Company except where the context indicates otherwise. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, filed with the SEC.
Available Information
Financial and other Company information, including press releases, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports can be obtained free of charge from our investor relations website, https://ir.capfed.com. SEC filings are available on our website immediately after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC, and are also available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our most critical accounting estimate is our methodology used to determine the ACL and reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures. This estimate is important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, involves a high degree of complexity, and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments that may require assumptions about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions, and estimates could affect reported results materially. This critical accounting estimate and its application is reviewed at least annually by the audit committee of our Board of Directors. For a full discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see "Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
Executive Summary
The following summary should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in its entirety.
The Company recognized net income of $30.8 million, or $0.24 per share, for the current year six month period, compared to net income of $16.3 million, or $0.12 per share, for the prior year six month period. The lower net income in the prior year six month period was primarily a result of the net losses on the sale of securities associated with the securities strategy. See additional discussion regarding the securities strategy in the "Securities Strategy to Improve Earnings" section below. Excluding the effects of the net loss associated with the securities strategy, EPS would have been $0.20 for the prior year six month period. The increase in EPS excluding the effects of the net loss associated with the securities strategy was due primarily to higher net interest income in the current year six month period.
The net interest margin increased 13 basis points, from 1.76% for the prior year six month period to 1.89% for the current year six month period. The increase was due mainly to higher yields on loans and the continued shift of loan balances from the one- to four-family loan portfolio to the higher yielding commercial loan portfolio, which outpaced the increase in the cost of deposits, largely in retail certificates of deposit.
33
The Bank continues to transition from a retail oriented financial institution to one with an increasing focus on commercial customers. The Bank is active in local markets for lending, commercial deposit and treasury management relationships, even when the lending opportunity may be for locations outside of the Bank's and the customers' local footprint. For the remainder of fiscal year 2025, it is anticipated that the Bank's net interest margin will continue to improve, assuming the continuation of decreasing deposit costs and increasing yields on our loan portfolio. All areas of the Bank's operations continue to focus on the management of costs.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 59.23% for the current year six month period compared to 74.29% for the prior year six month period. Excluding the net losses from the securities strategy, the efficiency ratio would have been 63.28% for the prior year six month period. The improvement in the efficiency ratio, excluding the net losses from the securities strategy, was due primarily to higher net interest income compared to the prior year six month period. The Company's operating expense ratio (annualized) for the current year six month period was 1.18%, unchanged from the prior year six month period.
Total assets were $9.72 billion at March 31, 2025, a $190.6 million increase from September 30, 2024, due mainly to increases in cash and cash equivalents and securities, partially offset by a decrease in the loan portfolio. The one- to four-family loan portfolio decreased $186.9 million during the current year six month period, partially offset by commercial loan growth of $159.3 million, primarily in the commercial real estate portfolio.
Total deposits were $6.37 billion at March 31, 2025, a $242.6 million increase from September 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to the Bank's high yield savings account offering and retail checking accounts, partially offset by a decrease in retail certificates of deposit. Management has continued to focus on retaining and growing deposits through the Bank's high yield savings account product, which as of March 31, 2025 had an annual percentage yield of 4.30% for accounts meeting the account criteria, including a $10 thousand balance minimum.
Total borrowings were $2.14 billion at March 31, 2025, a $36.6 million decrease from September 30, 2024. The decrease was due to principal payments made on the Bank's amortizing FHLB advances. Management estimates that the Bank had $2.96 billion in liquidity available at March 31, 2025 based on the Bank's blanket collateral agreement with FHLB and unencumbered securities.
Stockholders' equity totaled $1.04 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $4.8 million from September 30, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Bank's capital ratios exceeded the well-capitalized requirements. The Bank's community bank leverage ratio ("CBLR") as of March 31, 2025 was 9.5%.
The Bank's asset quality remains strong, reflected in the continued low level of loan delinquency and charge-off ratios. At March 31, 2025, loans 30 to 89 days delinquent were 0.18% of total loans receivable, net, and loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure were 0.12% of total loans receivable, net. See "Asset Quality - Delinquent and nonaccrual loans and OREO" below for additional discussion. During the current year six month period, net charge-offs were $107 thousand.
At March 31, 2025 the gap between the Bank's amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities projected to reprice within one year was $(1.11) billion, or (11.4)% of total assets, compared to $(1.51) billion, or (15.8)% of total assets, at September 30, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Bank exceeded internal policy thresholds for sensitivity to changes in interest rates. See additional discussion in "Part I, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk."
Securities Strategy to Improve Earnings
In October 2023, the Company initiated a securities strategy (the "securities strategy") by selling $1.30 billion of securities, representing 94% of its securities portfolio. Since the Company did not have the intent to hold the $1.30 billion of securities to maturity at September 30, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment loss on those securities of $192.6 million which was reflected in the Company's financial statements for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The securities strategy allowed the Company to improve its earnings stream going forward, beginning in the quarter ended December 31, 2023, by redeploying most of the proceeds into then current market rate securities and to provide liquidity to deleverage the balance sheet utilizing the remaining proceeds. During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed the sale of securities and recognized $13.3 million ($10.0 million net of tax), or $0.08 per share, of additional loss. See additional information regarding the impact of the securities strategy on our financial measurements in "Average Balance Sheets" below. The $1.30 billion of securities sold had a weighted average yield of 1.22% and an average duration of 3.6 years. With the proceeds from the sale of the securities, the Company purchased $632.0 million of securities yielding 5.75%, paid down $500.0 million of borrowings with a weighted average cost of 4.70%, and held the remaining cash at the FRB of Kansas City earning interest at the reserve balance rate until such time as it could be used to fund commercial activity or for other Bank operations.
34
Strategic Banking Initiatives
Management continues to focus on strategically growing commercial banking through the alignment of technology, people, products and services. Management believes we will be successful in this initiative as we are focusing on the financial needs of growing companies and small businesses and pairing these companies with experienced relationship managers who offer a broad range of customized services, digital platforms and sophisticated cash management tools tailored to their businesses. Leveraging our new technology and organizational structure to quickly respond to customer needs in the sales pipeline is central to our growth strategy for commercial deposits. We expect that commercial loan growth will continue to be driven by prospecting for new relationships and maintaining and expanding existing relationships. Strong credit quality remains a priority for the Bank as it seeks to grow commercial lending, and we are now able to offer a full suite of treasury management products to service these new and existing lending relationships.
During the current quarter we implemented and began utilizing commercial loan pricing and profitability software which provides pricing and profitability based on the full customer banking relationship. Management intends to implement additional modules associated with the software during the remainder of fiscal year 2025 that should provide market insight regarding competitor pricing to assist loan officers when preparing a loan offering for a customer.
We see many opportunities to grow our non-interest bearing deposit base and diversify fee-based revenue streams through growth not only in treasury management services, but also trust and wealth management services, and small business banking. We have a team of bankers focused on the deposit and loan needs of small businesses in our market area. Early in the June 30, 2025 quarter, we plan to launch additional new checking products and digital banking services specifically designed for small businesses.
As part of this growth strategy, we intend to create a seamless digital banking experience for all customers, which we believe will better enable the Bank to attract and retain deposits. This includes the new deposit account onboarding platform implemented in November 2024 and digital banking enhancements for debit cardholders which is projected to be implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025.
Management continues to actively evaluate new and additional services for commercial and small businesses to provide services they need and grow the Bank's fee revenue streams.

Loans receivable, net decreased $77.7 million during the current quarter. The loan portfolio mix continued to shift from one- to four-family loans to commercial loans during the current quarter, with a $96.0 million decrease in one- to four-family loans, partially offset by commercial loan growth of $21.8 million. Management expects the Bank's one- to four-family originated loan portfolio will continue to decrease as the affordability of housing remains challenging and there is a limited supply of homes for sale.
Deposits increased $166.4 million, or 10.7% annualized, during the current quarter due mainly to the Bank's high yield savings account offering, which increased $112.4 million during the quarter, to $284.1 million at March 31, 2025. Management has continued to focus on retaining and growing deposits through its high yield savings account product.
Excess cash flows generated from the one- to four-family portfolio and from deposit growth are currently being used to fund commercial loan growth or being held as operating cash to accommodate near-term funding needs for commercial loan activities and to repay borrowings coming due early in the June 30, 2025 quarter.

One- to Four-Family Loans
- The following table presents, for our portfolio of one- to four-family loans, the amount, percent of total, weighted average rate, weighted average credit score, weighted average LTV ratio, and average balance per loan as of March 31, 2025. Credit scores were updated in September 2024 from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency. The LTV ratios were based on the current loan balance and either the lesser of the purchase price or original appraisal, or the most recent Bank appraisal, if available. In most cases, the most recent appraisal was obtained at the time of origination.

Commercial Loans -
The table below presents commercial loan origination and purchase activity for the time periods presented. For commercial real estate and commercial construction loans, the LTV ratio is calculated using the gross loan amount (composed of unpaid principal and undisbursed amounts) and the collateral value at the time of origination. For existing real estate, the "as is" value is used. If the property is to be constructed, the "as completed" value of the collateral is utilized. The DSCR is calculated based on historical borrower performance, or projected borrower performance for newly formed entities with no performance history.

The following table presents management's funding expectations for the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction undisbursed amounts and commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2025. Due to the nature of a revolving line of credit, management is unable to project funding expectations for those balances so those amounts are presented separately from management's funding expectations. The majority of the $136.5 million of commitments expected to fund during the June 30, 2025 quarter are related to hotel loans. Management has decided that it will continue to lend to existing borrowing relationships secured by hotels but is not taking on new relationships for hotel lending. Existing hotel lending opportunities in our pipeline will continue to be evaluated. Management believes that our intended level of concentration in this category of lending will be met with our existing portfolio and pipeline opportunities.

The following table presents the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction loans by unpaid principal balance, aggregated by type of primary collateral and state, along with weighted average LTV ratio and weighted average DSCR as of March 31, 2025. The LTV ratio is calculated using the gross loan amount (composed of unpaid principal and undisbursed amounts) as of March 31, 2025 and the most current collateral value available, which is most often the value at origination/purchase. The DSCR is calculated at the time of origination, and is updated at the time of subsequent loan renewals, financial reviews (for applicable loans and lending relationships), and any other time management is aware of changes that may impact the DSCR. The DSCR presented in the table below is based on the DSCR at the time of origination unless an updated DSCR has been calculated. Commercial loans that have an outstanding balance of $1.5 million or more, or borrowing relationships with a total relationship exposure of $5.0 million or more are reviewed no less often than annually to monitor financial performance.

The following table presents the states where the properties securing ten percent or more of the total amount of our one- to four-family loans are located and the corresponding balance of loans 30 to 89 days delinquent, 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure, and weighted average LTV ratios for loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure at March 31, 2025. The LTV ratios were based on the current loan balance and either the lesser of the purchase price or original appraisal, or the most recent Bank appraisal, if available. At March 31, 2025, potential losses, after taking into consideration anticipated private mortgage insurance proceeds and estimated selling costs, have been charged-off.

Classified loans.
The following table presents the amortized cost of loans classified as special mention or substandard at the dates presented. The increase in commercial real estate substandard loans at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 compared to September 30, 2024 was due mainly to a participation loan for $39.0 million as of March 31, 2025 related to a hotel in Texas. The property is taking longer than projected to stabilize and the borrower is not meeting the debt service coverage loan covenant required by the loan agreement. The borrower projects improved occupancy and cash flow during the remainder of calendar year 2025 and expects the project to fully stabilize during calendar year 2026. As of March 31, 2025, the LTV on this loan was 47% and the loan was not delinquent.

Allowance for Credit Losses.
The Bank utilizes a discounted cash flow approach for estimating expected credit losses for pooled loans and loan commitments. Expected credit losses are determined by calculating projected future loss rates which are dependent upon forecasted economic indices and applying qualitative factors when deemed appropriate by management. At March 31, 2025, management selected a slightly worse economic scenario to use in the discounted cash flow model than at December 31, 2024 to account for current economic conditions and future economic uncertainty related to recently issued and proposed federal government policies. Management applied qualitative factors at March 31, 2025 to account for large dollar commercial loan concentrations and potential risk of loss in market value for newer one- to four-family loans. These qualitative factors were applied to account for credit risks not fully reflected in the discounted cash flow model. See "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 and "Part 1, Item 1. Note 4. Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses" within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information related to the key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model and the qualitative factors.
The distribution of our ACL and the ratio of ACL to loans receivable, by loan type, at the dates indicated is summarized below. The decrease in the ratio of the ACL to total loans as of March 31, 2025 from December 31, 2024 was due primarily to an increase in prepayment speeds on commercial real estate loans which reduced the related model-calculated ACL. The ratio of ACL to loans receivable has been generally consistent over the past three quarters. As of March 31, 2025, management believes there is risk in the economic outlook over the next several quarters but is uncertain of the direction and what the actual impact to the Bank's ACL will be as a result of that uncertainty.

Historically, the Bank has maintained very low delinquency ratios and net charge-off ("NCO") rates. Over the past two years, the Bank's highest ratio of commercial loans 90 days or more delinquent to total commercial loans at a quarter end was 0.22%. The highest such ratio for one- to four-family originated and correspondent loans, combined, was 0.12%. The amount of total NCOs during the current quarter and current year six month period was $114 thousand and $107 thousand, respectively, the majority of which related to one one- to four- family bulk purchased loan. During the 10-year period ended March 31, 2025, the Bank recognized $1.2 million of total NCOs. As of March 31, 2025, the ACL balance was $24.0 million and the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures totaled $5.6 million, which management believes is adequate for the risk characteristics in our loan portfolio.
46
The Bank's commercial real estate ACL ratios in aggregate, continue to be higher than those of our peers. The following tables present the average and median commercial real estate ACL ratios for the Bank and two of the Bank's peer groups for the periods noted. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") peer group consists of all savings banks with greater than $1 billion in assets, and the asset size peer group consists of all banks between $5 billion and $15 billion in asset size. The peer group information is sourced from the respective peers' Call Reports.

The following table presents ACL activity and related ratios at the dates and for the periods indicated. On October 1, 2023, the Bank adopted ASU 2022-02,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures
("ASU 2022-02"), which eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors. The Company applied a modified retrospective approach when adopting ASU 2022-02, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment which is reflected in the table below ("ASU 2022-02 Adoption").

The ratio of NCOs to average non-performing assets was higher in the current year six month period compared to the prior year six month period, due primarily to higher NCOs in the current year six month period. As noted above, the majority of the NCOs in the current year six month period related to one one- to four- family bulk purchased loan. The ratio of ACL to nonaccrual loans was lower at the end of the current year six month period compared to the end of the prior year period due mainly to a higher balance of nonaccrual loans in the current year six month period compared to the prior year six month period, along with a lower ACL balance at March 31, 2025. The ratio of ACL to loans receivable, net was lower at the end of the current year six month period compared to the end of the prior year six month period due primarily to a reduction in the ACL/loan ratio for commercial real estate loans, partially offset by changes in the loan portfolio mix, specifically commercial loan growth which is at a higher ACL/loan ratio than one- to four-family loans. See "Note 4. Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses" for additional information related to ACL activity by specific loan categories. ACL at the end of period to NCOs during the period (annualized) was lower compared to the prior year six month period, due primarily to higher NCOs in the current year six month period.

While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the adequacy of the ACL and reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures is determined by certain factors outside of the Company's control, such as the performance of our loan portfolio, changes in the economic environment including economic uncertainty, changes in interest rates, and the view of regulatory authorities toward classification of assets and the level of ACL and reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures. Additionally, the level of ACL and reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures may fluctuate based on the balance and mix of the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet credit exposures. If actual results differ significantly from our assumptions, our ACL and reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures may not be sufficient to cover inherent losses in our loan portfolio, resulting in additions to our ACL and an increase in the provision for credit losses.
Securities.
The following table presents the distribution of our securities portfolio, at amortized cost, at the dates indicated. The majority of our securities are government guaranteed or issued by GSEs. Overall, fixed-rate securities comprised 92% of our securities portfolio at March 31, 2025. The weighted average life ("WAL") is the estimated remaining maturity (in years) after three month historical prepayment speeds and projected call option assumptions have been applied. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully tax-equivalent basis.

Liabilities.
Total liabilities were $8.68 billion at March 31, 2025, compared to $8.50 billion at September 30, 2024. The increase was due primarily to a $242.6 million increase in deposits, partially offset by a $36.6 million decrease in borrowings due to principal payments made on the Bank's amortizing advances.
Deposits.
The following table presents the amount, weighted average rate and percent of total for the components of our deposit portfolio at the dates presented. The decrease in the deposit portfolio rate at March 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 was due mainly to lower rates on retail certificates of deposit.

As of March 31, 2025, approximately $802.4 million (or approximately 12%) of the Bank's Call Report deposit balance was uninsured, of which approximately $475.3 million related to commercial and retail deposit accounts, with the remainder mainly comprised of fully collateralized public unit deposits and intercompany accounts. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank's regulatory reporting requirements.

Borrowings.
Total borrowings at March 31, 2025 were $2.14 billion, which was comprised of $1.94 billion in fixed-rate FHLB advances, $200.0 million in FHLB variable-rate advances tied to interest rate swaps, and $1.1 million in finance leases.
The following table presents the maturity of term borrowings, which consist of FHLB advances, along with associated weighted average contractual and effective rates as of March 31, 2025. Amortizing FHLB advances totaling $318.3 million as of March 31, 2025 are presented based on their maturity dates versus their quarterly scheduled repayment dates.

The effective rate includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid.
The following table presents borrowing activity for the periods shown. The borrowings presented in the table have original contractual terms of one year or longer or are tied to interest rate swaps with original contractual terms of one year or longer. Line of credit borrowings and finance leases are excluded from the table. The effective rate is shown as a weighted average and includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The weighted average maturity ("WAM") is the remaining weighted average contractual term in years. The beginning and ending WAMs represent the remaining maturity at each date presented. During the prior year six month period, Federal Reserve's Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP") borrowings were paid off with the proceeds received from the securities strategy.

In early April 2025, the Bank paid off a maturing $50.0 million advance with an effective rate of 0.83%. Also in April 2025, the Bank pre-borrowed a $50.0 million FHLB advance in order to fund the repayment of another $50.0 million FHLB advance that matured later in the month. Additionally, during April 2025, the Bank refinanced three of its outstanding fixed-rate advances, totaling $200.0 million, resulting in prepayment fees of $547 thousand. The prepayment fees will be recognized in interest expense over the life of the new FHLB advances. This type of transaction is commonly referred to as a "blend-and-extend" transaction. Following the aforementioned transactions, the balance of the Bank's FHLB advance portfolio was $2.09 billion with a weighted average effective rate of 3.52% and a WAL of 1.9 years. This compares to a balance of $2.14 billion with a weighted average effective rate of 3.54% and a WAL of 1.6 years as of March 31, 2025. Management will continue to monitor opportunities for wholesale funding and may pay down FHLB advances in future periods to limit total growth of the balance sheet. The Bank may also renew certain fixed-rate advances in the future using adjustable-rate advances in order to better match the repricing characteristics of its increasing commercial loan portfolio.

Maturities of Interest-Bearing Liabilities.
The following table presents the maturity and weighted average repricing rate, which is also the weighted average effective rate, of certificates of deposit, split between retail/commercial and public unit amounts, and non-amortizing FHLB advances for the next four quarters as of March 31, 2025.

Stockholders' Equity.
Stockholders' equity totaled $1.04 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $4.8 million from September 30, 2024. Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank in accordance with regulatory standards. As of March 31, 2025, the Bank's capital ratios exceeded the well-capitalized requirements and the Bank exceeded internal policy thresholds for sensitivity to changes in interest rates. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for additional information regarding the Bank's regulatory capital requirements. As of March 31, 2025, the Bank's CBLR was 9.5%.
During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Company paid regular quarterly cash dividends totaling $22.1 million, or $0.17 per share. On April 22, 2025, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $11.5 million, payable on May 16, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 2, 2025.
At March 31, 2025, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $27.3 million in cash on deposit at the Bank. For fiscal year 2025, it is the intention of the Company's Board of Directors to pay out the regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, totaling $0.34 per share for the year. To the extent that earnings in fiscal year 2025 exceed $0.34 per share, the Board of Directors will consider the payment of additional dividends. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors, including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, the Bank's tax current earnings and accumulated earnings and profits, and the amount of cash at the holding company level.
It is the intention of management and the Board of Directors to not make distributions from the Bank to the Company during fiscal year 2025 to limit the tax associated with the pre-1988 bad debt recapture which is related to the Bank's tax accumulated earnings and profits. It is currently anticipated that the Bank will have sufficient taxable income during fiscal year 2025 to replenish the Bank's tax accumulated earnings and profits to a positive level, allowing the Bank to make earnings distributions to the Company during fiscal year 2026 and not have those distributions subject to the pre-1988 bad debt recapture tax.
The Company currently has $75.0 million authorized under an existing stock repurchase plan. Shares may be repurchased from time to time based upon market conditions, available liquidity and other factors. This plan has no expiration date; however, the FRB's current approval for the Company to repurchase shares expires in February 2026. There were no share repurchases during the current year six month period. Because the cash at the holding company is limited based on our capital management plan, the Company does not expect to repurchase shares until such time that an excess cash balance is rebuilt at the holding company level, which might occur as early as the beginning of fiscal year 2026.
The following table presents regular quarterly cash dividends and special cash dividends paid in calendar years 2025, 2024, and 2023. The amounts represent cash dividends paid during each period. For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the amount presented represents the dividend payable on May 16, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 2, 2025.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized net income of $15.4 million, or $0.12 per share, which was unchanged from the prior quarter. Net interest income after provision for credit losses was higher in the current quarter than the prior quarter, but was almost entirely offset by higher non-interest expense in the current quarter. The net interest margin increased six basis points, from 1.86% for the prior quarter to 1.92% for the current quarter due mainly to a decrease in the cost of deposits, specifically retail certificates of deposit.

The decrease in interest income on loans receivable was due to a lower average balance during the current quarter compared to the prior quarter. During the current quarter, the loan portfolio continued to shift from one- to four-family loans to commercial loans; however, the commercial loan volume during the current quarter did not offset the decrease in the one- to four-family loan portfolio. As of March 31, 2025, the Bank had $136.5 million of commercial real estate loan commitments which are expected to fund early during the June 30, 2025 quarter. See additional discussion regarding the composition of the loan portfolio and management's strategy to shift from one- to four-family loans to commercial loans in the "Executive Summary" section above. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due mainly to an increase in the average balance as a higher level of operating cash was maintained during the current quarter to accommodate near-term funding needs for commercial loan activities and to repay borrowings coming due early in the June 30, 2025 quarter.

The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due mainly to a decrease in the weighted average rates on retail certificates of deposit and money market accounts, which were partially offset by increases in the weighted average rate and average balance related to savings accounts, due to growth in the Bank's high yield savings account. The increase in borrowings expense was due to an increase in the weighted average interest rate as borrowings that renewed in the current quarter and prior quarter were at rates which exceeded that of the overall portfolio.
55
Provision for Credit Losses
There was no impact to the provision for credit losses during the current quarter as the decrease in the ACL was entirely offset by the increase in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The reduction in the ACL in the current quarter was due primarily to an increase in prepayment speeds on commercial real estate loans. The increase in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures was due primarily to an increase in commercial off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $677 thousand during the prior quarter.

The increase in insurance commissions was due primarily to the receipt of annual contingent insurance commissions during the current quarter, which were higher than anticipated and accrued for in the prior quarter. The increase in other non-interest income was due primarily to an increase in BOLI related to the receipt of death benefits in the current quarter while none were received in the prior quarter.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to compensation-related accrual fluctuations between periods. The increase in information technology and related expense was due mainly to higher software licensing expense and professional services. The increase in regulatory and outside services was due primarily to the timing of outside services. The increase in deposit and loan transaction costs was due mainly to expenses related to calendar year-end statement-related processing that is seasonal and occurred during the current quarter. The increase in other non-interest expense was due primarily to higher customer fraud losses in the current quarter, along with higher costs associated with OREO property, largely related to a one- to four-family bulk purchased OREO, and a loss on a property sold during the current quarter related to an acquisition in 2018.
56
The Company's efficiency ratio was 60.54% for the current quarter compared to 57.86% for the prior quarter. The change in the efficiency ratio was due to higher non-interest expense, partially offset by higher net interest income during the current quarter. The efficiency ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A higher value generally indicates that it is costing the financial institution more money to generate revenue. The Company's operating expense ratio (annualized) for the current quarter was 1.23% compared to 1.14% in the prior quarter, due mainly to higher non-interest expense.

Average Balance Sheet
The following table presents the average balances of our assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity, and the related annualized weighted average yields and rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated, as well as selected performance ratios and other information for the periods shown. Weighted average yields are derived by dividing annualized income by the average balance of the related assets, and weighted average rates are derived by dividing annualized expense by the average balance of the related liabilities, for the periods shown. Average outstanding balances are derived from average daily balances. The weighted average yields and rates include amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to yields/rates. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

(9)
The efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. Management believes the efficiency ratio is important to investors as it is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A higher value generally indicates that it is costing the financial institution more money to generate revenue, related to its net interest margin and non-interest income.
Rate/Volume Analysis
The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended December 31, 2024. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous year's average rate and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous year period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
The Company recognized net income of $30.8 million, or $0.24 per share, for the current year period, compared to net income of $16.3 million, or $0.12 per share, for the prior year period. The lower net income in the prior year period was primarily a result of net losses on the sale of securities associated with the securities strategy. See additional discussion regarding the securities strategy in the "Executive Summary - Securities Strategy to Improve Earnings" section above. The securities associated with the securities strategy were sold in the prior year period, and in that period the Company incurred $13.3 million ($10.0 million net of tax) of net losses related to the sale of those securities. Excluding the effects of the net loss associated with the securities strategy, EPS would have been $0.20 for the prior year period. The increase in EPS excluding the effects of the net loss associated with the securities strategy was due primarily to higher net interest income in the current year period.
The net interest margin increased 13 basis points, from 1.76% for the prior year period to 1.89% for the current year period. The increase was due mainly to higher yields on loans and the continued shift of loan balances from the one- to four-family loan portfolio to the higher yielding commercial loan portfolio, which outpaced the increase in the cost of deposits, largely in retail certificates of deposit.

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due primarily to the continued shift of loan balances from the one- to four-family loan portfolio to higher yielding commercial loans. See additional discussion regarding the composition of the loan portfolio in the "Financial Condition" section above. The increase in interest income on MBS securities was due mainly to an increase in the average balance of the portfolio, along with an increase in the weighted average yield compared to the prior year period. The increase in the average balance was due mainly to securities purchases between periods. The higher weighted average yield was due mainly to the securities strategy, as the securities that were sold during the prior year period were reinvested into higher yielding securities, and securities purchased between periods were also at higher market yields. Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased due largely to a decrease in the average balance as a result of cash balances being drawn down during the prior fiscal year to fund commercial loans and other operational needs. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due to a decrease in average balance, partially offset by an increase in the weighted average yield. The decrease in the average balance was due primarily to the securities purchased as part of the securities strategy being called or maturing during fiscal year 2024 and not being replaced in their entirety. The increase in the weighted average yield was due to higher yields than the portfolio yields on the securities purchased between periods.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to an increase in the weighted average rate paid on retail certificates of deposit and savings accounts, specifically the high yield savings account product, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on money market accounts. To a lesser extent, the increase in the average balance of retail certificates of deposit also increased interest expense on deposits.
The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due to a decrease in the average balance, which was partially offset by a higher weighted average interest rate. The decrease in the average balance of borrowings was due mainly to FHLB borrowings that matured between periods and were not renewed, along with a decrease in borrowings under the BTFP, which were repaid during the prior year period using some of the proceeds from the securities strategy. The increase in the weighted average interest rate was due primarily to higher market interest rates on borrowings that matured and were renewed between periods.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $677 thousand during the current year period compared to a provision for credit losses of $424 thousand for the prior year period. The provision for credit losses in the current year period was comprised of a $1.0 million increase in the ACL for loans, partially offset by a $365 thousand decrease in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The increase in ACL was due mainly to commercial loan growth during the current year period, partially offset by an increase in prepayment rates in the current quarter for commercial real estate loans. The decrease in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures was due primarily to a reduction in the ACL/loan ratio applied to commercial construction off-balance sheet credit exposures, partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate off-balance sheet credit exposures.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was mainly attributable to raises and salary adjustments to remain market competitive, an increase in the number of employees between periods, and a higher accrual of incentive compensation during the current year period than the prior year period related to the Bank's short-term performance plan. The decrease in information technology and related expense was due mainly to a decrease in usage of third-party professional services along with a decrease in depreciation expense during the current year period. The decrease in regulatory and outside services was due to a reduction in usage related to certain outside services compared to the prior year period. The decrease in the federal insurance premium was due primarily to a decrease in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") assessment rate as a result of the way the assessment rate was adjusted in fiscal year 2024 for the occurrence of the Bank's net loss during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in advertising and promotional expense was due mainly to the timing of campaigns compared to the prior year period. The decrease in other non-interest expense was due mainly to higher customer fraud losses in the prior year period and the maturity of an interest rate swap agreement during the current year period which reduced the expense associated with the collateral held in relation to the interest rate swap.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 59.23% for the current year period compared to 74.29% for the prior year period. Excluding the net losses from the securities strategy, the efficiency ratio would have been 63.28% for the prior year period. The improvement in the efficiency ratio, excluding net losses from the securities strategy, was due primarily to higher net interest income compared to the prior year period. The Company's operating expense ratio (annualized) for the current year period was 1.18%, unchanged from the prior year period.

Included in the prior year period income tax expense and effective tax rate are tax benefits associated with the net loss on the securities strategy. Absent the tax benefits associated with the net loss on the securities strategy, the effective tax rate would have been 19.1% and income tax expense would have been $6.2 million in the prior year period. Income tax expense was higher in the current year period compared to the prior year period, excluding the tax benefits associated with the net losses on the securities strategy, due to higher pretax income in the current year period.

Net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on them.
(5)
Net interest margin represents annualized net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Management believes the net interest margin is important to investors as it is a profitability measure for financial institutions.
(6)
Return on average assets represents annualized net income as a percentage of total average assets. Management believes that the return on average assets is important to investors as it shows the Company's profitability in relation to the Company's average assets.
(7)
Return on average equity represents annualized net income as a percentage of total average equity. Management believes that the return on average equity is important to investors as it shows the Company's profitability in relation to the Company's average equity.
(8)
The operating expense ratio represents annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets. Management believes the operating expense ratio is important to investors as it provides insight into how efficiently the Company is managing its expenses in relation to its assets. It is a financial measurement ratio that does not take into consideration changes in interest rates.
(9)
The efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. Management believes the efficiency ratio is important to investors as it is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A higher value generally indicates that it is costing the financial institution more money to generate revenue, related to its net interest margin and non-interest income.
(10)
The table below provides a reconciliation between performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP and the same performance measures absent the impact of the net loss on the securities transactions associated with the securities strategy, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. The securities strategy was non-recurring in nature; therefore, management believes it is meaningful to investors to present certain financial measures without the securities strategy to better evaluate the Company's core operations. See information regarding the securities strategy in the "Executive Summary" discussion above.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous period's average rate, and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024
For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized net income of $15.4 million, or $0.12 per share, compared to net income of $13.8 million, or $0.11 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The increase in net income was due primarily to an increase in net interest income partially offset by higher non-interest expense. The net interest margin increased 10 basis points, from 1.82% for the prior year quarter to 1.92% for the current year quarter, due primarily to higher yields on loans and the continued shift within the loan portfolio from one- to four-family loans to higher yielding commercial loans, which outpaced the increase in the cost of deposits, largely in retail certificates of deposits.

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due primarily to the continued shift within the loan portfolio from one- to four-family loans to higher yielding commercial loans. The increase in interest income on MBS was due to an increase in the average balance compared to the prior year quarter as excess operating cash, cash flows from the investment securities portfolio, and deposit inflows were used to purchase MBS between periods. The decrease in interest income on cash was due mainly to a decrease in the average balance, along with lower yields compared to the prior year period. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due to a decrease in average balance as a result of the securities purchased as part of the securities strategy being called or maturing during fiscal year 2024 and not being replaced in their entirety.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was due mainly to an increase in the weighted average rate paid on retail certificates of deposit and savings accounts, specifically the high yield savings account product, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on money market accounts. To a lesser extent, the increase in the average balance of retail certificates of deposit also increased interest expense on deposits.
Provision for Credit Losses
There was no impact to the provision for credit losses during the current quarter as the decrease in the ACL was entirely offset by the increase in the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses during the prior year quarter of $301 thousand. See Comparison of "Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024" above for additional discussion regarding the provision for credit losses during the current quarter.

Net interest margin represents annualized net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Management believes the net interest margin is important to investors as it is a profitability measure for financial institutions.
(6)
Return on average assets represents annualized net income as a percentage of total average assets. Management believes that the return on average assets is important to investors as it shows the Company's profitability in relation to the Company's average assets.
(7)
Return on average equity represents annualized net income as a percentage of total average equity. Management believes that the return on average equity is important to investors as it shows the Company's profitability in relation to the Company's average equity.
(8)
The operating expense ratio represents annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets. Management believes the operating expense ratio is important to investors as it provides insight into how efficiently the Company is managing its expenses in relation to its assets. It is a financial measurement ratio that does not take into consideration changes in interest rates.
(9)
The efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. Management believes the efficiency ratio is important to investors as it is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A higher value generally indicates that it is costing the financial institution more money to generate revenue, related to its net interest margin and non-interest income.
Rate/Volume Analysis
The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the three months ended March 31, 2025 to the three months ended March 31, 2024. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous year's average rate and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous year period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity refers to our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund ongoing operations, to repay maturing certificates of deposit and other deposit withdrawals, to repay maturing borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of our business management. The Company's most available liquid assets are represented by cash and cash equivalents and AFS securities. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB borrowings, repayments and maturities of outstanding loans and MBS and other short-term investments, and funds provided by operations. The Bank's long-term borrowings primarily have been used to manage long-term liquidity needs and the Bank's interest rate risk with the intention to improve the earnings of the Bank while maintaining capital ratios that meet or exceed the regulatory standards for well-capitalized financial institutions. In addition, the Bank's focus on managing risk has provided additional liquidity capacity by maintaining a balance of MBS and investment securities available as collateral for borrowings.
We generally intend to manage cash reserves sufficient to meet short-term liquidity needs, which are routinely forecasted for 10, 30, and 365 days. Additionally, on a monthly basis, we perform a liquidity stress test in accordance with the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. The liquidity stress test incorporates both short-term and long-term liquidity scenarios in order to identify and to quantify liquidity risk. Management also monitors key liquidity statistics related to items such as wholesale funding gaps, borrowings capacity, and available unpledged collateral, as well as various liquidity ratios.
In the event short-term liquidity needs exceed available cash, the Bank has access to a line of credit at the FHLB, in addition to the FRB of Kansas City's discount window. Per FHLB's lending guidelines, total FHLB borrowings cannot exceed 40% of Bank Call Report total assets without the pre-approval of FHLB senior management. The Bank's FHLB borrowing limit was 45% of Bank Call Report total assets as of March 31, 2025, as approved by FHLB senior management. The Bank was below the FHLB borrowing limit as of March 31, 2025. See additional discussion below.
FHLB borrowings are secured by
certain qualifying loans pursuant to a blanket collateral agreement with FHLB. The amount that can be borrowed from the FRB of Kansas City's discount window is based upon the fair value of securities pledged as collateral. At March 31, 2025, the amount of securities pledged for the discount window was $99.9 million. At March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings from the FRB of Kansas City's discount window. Management tests the Bank's access to the FRB of Kansas City's discount window at least annually with a nominal overnight borrowing.
If management observes unusual trends in the amount and frequency of line of credit utilization and/or short-term borrowings that is not in conjunction with a planned strategy the Bank will likely utilize long-term wholesale borrowing sources such as FHLB advances and/or repurchase agreements to provide long-term, fixed-rate funding. The maturities of these long-term borrowings are generally staggered in order to mitigate the risk of a highly negative cash flow position at maturity. The Bank has used fully-amortizing FHLB advances that require periodic payments of principal over the term of the advance. This type of advance allows the Bank the opportunity to start repricing its liability cash flows sooner in a down-rate environment and generally provides for favorable pricing when compared to similar long-term bullet advances with comparable average lives as a result of the current term structure of interest rates. The Bank's internal policy limits total borrowings to 55% of total assets. At March 31, 2025, the Bank had total borrowings, at par, of $2.14 billion, or approximately 22% of the Bank's Call Report total assets. The borrowings balance was composed primarily of FHLB advances, of which, $684.7 million is scheduled to be repaid (amortizing advances) or mature in the next 12 months. Management estimated that the Bank had $2.96 billion in liquidity available at March 31, 2025 based on the Bank's blanket collateral agreement with FHLB and unencumbered securities.
At March 31, 2025, the Bank had no repurchase agreements. The Bank may enter into repurchase agreements as management deems appropriate, not to exceed 15% of total assets, and subject to the total borrowings internal policy limit of 55% as discussed above.
The Bank has the ability to utilize the repayment and maturity of outstanding loans, MBS, and other investments for liquidity needs rather than reinvesting such funds into the related portfolios. At March 31, 2025, the Bank had $869.6 million of securities that were eligible but unused as collateral for borrowing or other liquidity needs. The Bank also has access to other sources of funds for liquidity purposes, such as brokered and public unit certificates of deposit. As of March 31, 2025, the Bank's policy allowed for combined brokered and public unit certificates of deposit up to 15% of total deposits. At March 31, 2025, the Bank did not have any brokered certificates of deposit, and public unit certificates of deposit were approximately 1% of total deposits. The Bank had pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $88.9 million as collateral for public unit certificates of deposit at March 31, 2025. The securities pledged as collateral for public unit certificates of deposit are held under joint custody with FHLB and generally will be released upon deposit maturity.
At March 31, 2025, $1.99 billion of the Bank's certificate of deposit portfolio was scheduled to mature within the next 12 months, including $41.7 million of public unit certificates of deposit and $47.4 million of commercial certificates of deposit. Based on our deposit retention experience and our current pricing strategy, we anticipate the majority of the maturing retail certificates of deposit will renew or transfer to other deposit products of the Bank at prevailing rates, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Due to the nature of public unit certificates of deposit and commercial certificates of deposit, retention rates are not as predictable as for retail certificates of deposit.
71
While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and MBS and payments on short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, prepayments on loans and MBS, and calls of investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition, and are less predictable sources of funds. To the extent possible, the Bank manages the cash flows of its loan and deposit portfolios by the rates it offers customers. We anticipate we will continue to have sufficient funds, through the repayments and maturities of loans and securities, deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments.
Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions
OCC regulations impose restrictions on savings institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends and other transactions charged to the capital account. Under FRB and OCC safe harbor regulations, savings institutions generally may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to earnings of the previous two calendar years and current year-to-date earnings (to the extent not previously distributed). A savings institution that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Company, that proposes to make a capital distribution must submit written notice to the OCC and FRB 30 days prior to such distribution. The OCC and FRB may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness or other concerns. Savings institutions that desire to make a larger capital distribution, are under special restrictions, or are not, or would not be, sufficiently capitalized following a proposed capital distribution must obtain regulatory non-objection prior to making such a distribution.
The long-term ability of the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders is based primarily upon the ability of the Bank to make capital distributions to the Company. So long as the Bank remains well capitalized after each capital distribution (as evidenced by maintaining regulatory capital ratios greater than the required percentages) and operates in a safe and sound manner, it is management's belief that the OCC and FRB will continue to allow the Bank to distribute its earnings to the Company, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Management continues to evaluate the timing and amount of capital distributions to be made from the Bank to the holding company during the remainder of the current fiscal year and in future periods in connection with the tax issues associated with the Bank's pre-1988 bad debt recapture. For additional information regarding capital distributions relating to these tax issues, see "Financial Condition - Stockholders' Equity" above.
Regulatory Capital
Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank per the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action ("PCA"). Qualifying institutions that elect to use the CBLR framework, such as the Bank and the Company, that maintain the required minimum leverage ratio of 9.0% will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the regulatory agencies' capital rules, and to have met the capital requirements for the well-capitalized category under the agencies' PCA framework. As of March 31, 2025, the Bank's CBLR was 9.5% and the Company's CBLR was 10.1%, which exceeded the minimum requirements. The Bank's risk-based tier 1 capital ratio at March 31, 2025 was 16.5%.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk
For a complete discussion of the Bank's asset and liability management policies, as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Bank's portfolios, see "Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024. The analysis presented in the tables below reflects the level of market risk at the Bank, including the cash the holding company has on deposit at the Bank.
The rates of interest the Bank earns on its assets and pays on its liabilities are generally established contractually for a period of time. Fluctuations in interest rates have a significant impact not only upon our net income, but also upon the cash flows and market values of our assets and liabilities. Our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Risk associated with changes in interest rates on the earnings of the Bank and the market value of its financial assets and liabilities is known as interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is our most significant market risk, and our ability to adapt to changes in interest rates is known as interest rate risk management.
The general objective of our interest rate risk management program is to determine and manage an appropriate level of interest rate risk while maximizing net interest income in a manner consistent with our policy to manage, to the extent practicable, the exposure of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The Board of Directors and Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") regularly review the Bank's interest rate risk exposure by forecasting the impact of hypothetical, alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and the market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE") at various dates. The MVPE is defined as the net of the present value of cash flows from existing assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments. The present values are determined based upon market conditions as of the date of the analysis, as well as in alternative interest rate environments providing potential changes in the MVPE under those alternative interest rate environments. Net interest income is projected in the same alternative interest rate environments with both a static balance sheet and one with management strategies considered. The MVPE and net interest income analyses are also conducted to estimate our sensitivity to rates for future time horizons based upon market conditions as of the date of the analysis. The MVPE ratio continues to be an important measurement for management as we consider the changes in market rates, liquidity needs, and portfolio balances. MVPE represents a long-term view of the interest sensitivity of the Bank's balance sheet while our net interest income projections inform management of the short-term impacts of pricing decisions. In addition to the interest rate environments presented below, management also reviews the impact of non-parallel rate shock scenarios on a quarterly basis. These scenarios consist of flattening and steepening the yield curve by changing short-term and long-term interest rates independent of each other, and simulating cash flows and determining valuations as a result of these hypothetical changes in interest rates to identify rate environments that pose the greatest risk to the Bank. This analysis helps management quantify the Bank's exposure to changes in the shape of the yield curve.
Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Gap Table.
The following gap table summarizes the anticipated maturities or repricing periods of the Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes below. Cash flow projections for mortgage-related assets are calculated based in part on prepayment assumptions at current and projected interest rates. Prepayment projections are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and assumptions and, therefore, cannot be determined with a high degree of accuracy. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react differently to changes in market interest rates. Assumptions may not reflect how actual yields and costs respond to market interest rate changes. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment rates would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the gap table below. A positive gap generally means more cash flows from assets are expected to reprice than cash flows from liabilities and suggests that in a rising rate environment earnings should increase. A negative gap generally means more cash flows from liabilities are expected to reprice than cash flows from assets and suggests, in a rising rate environment, that earnings should decrease. For additional information regarding the impact of changes in interest rates, see the following Change in Net Interest Income and Change in MVPE discussions and tables.

Adjustable-rate loans are included in the period in which the rate is next scheduled to adjust or in the period in which repayments are expected to occur, or prepayments are expected to be received, prior to their next rate adjustment, rather than in the period in which the loans are due. Fixed-rate loans are included in the periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid, based on scheduled amortization and prepayment assumptions. Balances are net of undisbursed amounts and deferred fees and exclude loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure.
(2)
MBS reflect projected prepayments at amortized cost. All other securities are presented based on contractual maturities, term to call dates or pre-refunding dates as of March 31, 2025, at amortized cost.
(3)
Although the Bank's checking, savings, and money market accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal, management considers a substantial amount of these accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities. The decay rates (the assumed rates at which the balances of existing accounts decline) used on these accounts are based on assumptions developed from our actual experiences with these accounts. If all of the Bank's checking, savings, and money market accounts had been assumed to be subject to repricing within one year, interest-bearing liabilities estimated to mature or reprice within one year would have exceeded interest-earning assets with comparable characteristics by $3.67 billion, for a cumulative one-year gap of (37.7)% of total assets.
(4)
Borrowings exclude deferred prepayment penalty costs. Included in this line item are $200.0 million of FHLB adjustable-rate advances tied to interest rate swaps. The repricing of these liabilities is projected to occur at the maturity date of each interest rate swap.
At March 31, 2025, the Bank's gap between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities projected to reprice within one year was $(1.11) billion, or (11.4)% of total assets, compared to $(1.51) billion, or (15.8)% of total assets, at September 30, 2024. The change in the one-year gap amount was due primarily to an increase in the amount of projected asset cash flows coming due in one year, as of March 31, 2025, compared to September 30, 2024. The increase in projected asset cash flows was due primarily to an increase in the balances of adjustable-rate loans, and cash between the two periods. The increase in the balance of adjustable-rate loans was due primarily to the remix of the loan portfolio from one- to four-family loans to commercial loans, which tend to have adjustable rate features. The increase in projected asset cash flows was partially offset by a decrease in the amount of fixed-rate
74
mortgage-related asset cash flows as a result of a general decrease in balances as well as to a decrease in projected prepayment speeds, from September 30, 2024, as a result of an increase in intermediate and long-term interest and mortgage rates.
The amount of interest-bearing liabilities expected to reprice in a given period typically is not significantly impacted by changes in interest rates because the Bank's borrowings and certificate of deposit portfolios have contractual maturities and generally cannot be terminated early without a prepayment penalty. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of March 31, 2025, the Bank's one-year gap would have been projected to be $(1.33) billion, or (13.6)% of total assets. If interest rates were to decrease 200 basis points, as of March 31, 2025, the Bank's one-year gap would have been projected to be $(686.7) million, or (7.1)% of total assets. The changes in the gap amounts compared to when there is no change in rates was due to changes in the anticipated net cash flows primarily as a result of projected prepayments on mortgage-related assets in each rate environment. In higher rate environments, prepayments on mortgage-related assets are projected to be lower and, in lower rate environments, prepayments are projected to be higher. This compares to a projected one-year gap of $(1.71) billion, or (17.9)% of total assets, if interest rates were to have increased 200 basis points as of September 30, 2024, and a projected one-year gap of $(1.19) billion, or (12.5)% of total assets, if interest rates were to have decreased 200 basis points as of the same date.
Change in Net Interest Income.
For each date presented in the following table, the estimated change in the Bank's net interest income is based on the indicated instantaneous, parallel and permanent change in interest rates. The change in each interest rate environment represents the difference between estimated net interest income in the zero basis point interest rate environment ("base case," assumes the forward market and product interest rates implied by the yield curve are realized) and the estimated net interest income in each alternative interest rate environment (assumes market and product interest rates have a parallel shift in rates across all maturities by the indicated change in rates). Projected cash flows for each scenario are based upon varying prepayment assumptions to model anticipated customer behavior changes as market rates change. Estimations of net interest income used in preparing the table below were based upon the assumptions that the total composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities do not change materially and that any repricing of assets or liabilities occurs at anticipated product and market rates for the alternative rate environments as of the dates presented. The estimation of net interest income does not include any projected gains or losses related to the sale of loans or securities, or income derived from non-interest income sources, but does include the use of different prepayment assumptions in the alternative interest rate environments. It is important to consider that estimated changes in net interest income are for a cumulative four-quarter period. These do not reflect the earnings expectations of management.

Assumes an instantaneous, parallel, and permanent change in interest rates at all maturities.
In general, increases/(decreases) in the Bank's net interest income projections under the various interest rate scenarios presented are due to the degree in which cash flows are realized and the rates projected to be earned on funds received through loan and securities repayments, in each scenario, are greater/(less) than the rates projected to be paid on deposits and borrowings over the next 12 months. The net interest income projection was higher in the base case scenario at March 31, 2025 compared to September 30, 2024, due primarily to the steepening of the yield curve between the two periods. As a result, interest income projections associated with the Bank's interest-earning asset cash flows, primarily the loan portfolio, increased by more than the increase in interest expense projections on the Bank's interest-bearing liability cash flows. Additionally, the Bank held a higher balance of cash and securities at March 31, 2025, compared to September 30, 2024, which contributed to the increase in projected net interest income, partially offset by an increase in deposits between the two periods.

Change in MVPE.
The following table sets forth the estimated change in the MVPE for each date presented based on the indicated instantaneous, parallel, and permanent change in interest rates. The change in each interest rate environment represents the difference between the MVPE in the base case (assumes the forward market interest rates implied by the yield curve are realized) and the MVPE in each alternative interest rate environment (assumes market interest rates have a parallel shift in rates). Projected cash flows for each scenario are based upon varying prepayment assumptions to model anticipated customer behavior as market rates change. The estimations of the MVPE used in preparing the table below were based upon the assumption that the total composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities do not change, that any repricing of assets or liabilities occurs at current product or market rates for the alternative rate environments as of the dates presented, and that different prepayment rates were used in each alternative interest rate environment. The estimated MVPE results from the valuation of cash flows from financial assets and liabilities over the anticipated lives of each for each interest rate environment. The table below presents the effects of the changes in interest rates on our assets and liabilities as they mature, repay, or reprice, as shown by the change in the MVPE for alternative interest rates.

Assumes an instantaneous, parallel, and permanent change in interest rates at all maturities.
The Bank's MVPE decreased from $1.10 billion at September 30, 2024 to $1.08 billion at March 31, 2025. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in market interest rates between the two periods across the intermediate and long-term maturities of the curve as the yield curve steepened between the two periods. The increases in market interest rates resulted in a decrease in the estimated values of the Bank's interest-earning assets by more than it decreased the estimated values of its interest-bearing liabilities. As interest rates increase, borrowers have less economic incentive to prepay or to refinance their mortgages, and agency debt issuers have less economic incentive or opportunity to exercise their call options in order to issue new debt at lower interest rates, resulting in lower projected cash flows on these assets. As interest rates increase in the rising interest rate scenarios, prepayments on mortgage-related assets are more likely to decrease and only be realized through significant changes in borrowers' lives such as divorce, death, job-related relocations, or other major events as there is less economic incentive for borrowers to prepay their debt, resulting in an increase in the average lives of mortgage-related assets. Similarly, call projections for callable agency debentures decrease as interest rates rise, which results in cash flows related to these assets moving closer to their contractual maturity dates. The longer expected average lives of these assets increases the sensitivity of their market value to changes in interest rates. Conversely, as interest rates decrease, borrowers who obtained or issued credit in a higher rate environment have more economic incentive to prepay or to refinance their mortgages, and agency debt issuers have more economic incentive and opportunity to exercise their call options in order to re-issue debt at lower interest rates, resulting in higher projected cash flows on these assets. The then shorter expected average lives of these assets decrease the sensitivity of their market value to changes in interest rates.
In the increasing interest rate scenarios, the sensitivity reflects the negative impacts of rates on the market value of the Bank's loan and securities portfolios more so than on its deposit and borrowing portfolios. In the decreasing interest rate scenarios, the Bank's MVPE increases due to a larger increase in the market value of the Bank's assets than its liabilities. This is because the Bank's mortgage-related assets continue to have longer duration in these rate scenarios, which equates to greater market value sensitivity as interest rates change.

The following table presents the weighted average yields/rates and WALs (in years), after applying prepayment, call assumptions, and decay rates for our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of March 31, 2025. Yields presented for interest-earning assets include the amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to the yield. The interest rate presented for term borrowings is the effective rate, which includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The WAL presented for term borrowings includes the effect of interest rate swaps.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Act") as of March 31, 2025. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the Company's quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Company and the Bank are involved as parties to various routine legal actions. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, we believe it is unlikely that any such pending legal actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
On November 2, 2022, the Bank was served a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Jennifer Harding, et al. vs. Capitol Federal Savings Bank (Case No. 2022-CV-00598), filed in the Third Judicial District Court, Shawnee County, Kansas against the Bank, alleging the Bank improperly charged overdraft fees on (1) debit card transactions that were authorized for payment on sufficient funds but later settled against a negative account balance (commonly known as "authorize positive purportedly settle negative" or "APPSN" transactions) and (2) merchant re-presentments of previously rejected payment requests. The complaint asserts a breach of contract claim (including breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing) for each practice and seeks restitution for alleged improper fees, alleged actual damages, costs and disbursements, and injunctive relief. On April 5, 2023, the district court granted the Bank's motion to dismiss the complaint, with prejudice. The plaintiffs appealed this decision to the Kansas Court of Appeals, which issued an opinion on October 4, 2024 reversing the district court's ruling. On February 21, 2025, the Kansas Supreme Court granted the Bank's petition for review and the plaintiffs' conditional cross-petition for review. The matter remains on appeal.
The Company assesses the liabilities and loss contingencies in connection with pending or threatened legal and regulatory proceedings on at least a quarterly basis and establishes accruals when it is believed to be probable that a loss may be incurred and that the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
