TFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands unless otherwise indicated)
1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION
TFS Financial Corporation, a federally chartered stock holding company, conducts its principal activities through its wholly owned subsidiaries. The principal line of business of the Company is retail consumer banking, including mortgage lending, deposit gathering, and, to a much lesser extent, other financial services. As of June 30, 2020,2021, approximately 81% of the Company’s outstanding shares were owned by athe federally chartered mutual holding company, Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, MHC. The thrift subsidiary of TFS Financial Corporation is Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland.
Third Capital, Inc., an operating subsidiary of the Company, was formed to hold non-thrift investments and subsidiaries, which includes a partial ownership of a limited liability company that acquires and manages commercial real estate. On October 31, 2019, the limited liability company sold the remaining two commercial office buildings it owned, which had a net book value of $19,324 at September 30, 2019 included in premises, equipment and software, net and other assets. A $4,257 net gain on the sale of those properties was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, representing the Company's share of the gain on sale. Pending the outcome of various sale escrow reserves, which will not be resolved until later this year, the Company may record additional residual income in 2020.
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform in all material respects to U.S. GAAP and to general practices in the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for loancredit losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the determination of pension obligations are particularly subject to change.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company at June 30, 2020,2021, and its results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are the only adjustments reflected in the unaudited interim financial statements.
In accordance with SEC Regulation S-X for interim financial information, these statements do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete audited financial statements. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 20192020 contains audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 20202021 or for any other period.
The Company has determined that all recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or do not apply to its operations.
Effective October 1, 2018,2020, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09,2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, as amended, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology referred to as the CECL methodology. Refer to NOTE 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES for additional details.
Per ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (Topic 606) and all subsequent amendments related to the ASU (collectively, “Topic 606”). The core principle of the guidance requires an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The adoption did not have a significant impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements, as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at adoption was not necessary. Neither the new standard, nor any of the related amendments, resulted in a material change from our current accounting for revenue because a significant amount of the Company’s revenue streams such as interest income, are not within the scope of Topic 606. TwoThree of the Company's revenue streams within scope of Topic 606 are the sales of REO, interchange income and deposit account and other transaction-based service fee income. BothThose streams are immaterial and therefore quantitative information regarding these streams is not disclosed.disclosed.

2.EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. For purposes of computing basic earnings per share, outstanding shares include shares held by the public, shares held by the ESOP that have been allocated to participants or committed to be released for allocation to participants, and the 227,119,132 shares held by Third Federal Savings, MHC. For purposes of computing dilutive earnings per share, stock options and restricted and performance share units with a dilutive impact are added to the outstanding shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation. Unvested shares

awarded pursuant to the Company's restricted stock 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. Performance share units, determined to be contingently issuable and not participating securities, are excluded from the calculation of basic EPS. At June 30, 2020 2021

We believe the unrealized losses on investment securities were attributable to changes in market interest rates. The contractual terms of U.S. government and agency obligations do not permit the issuer to settle the security at a price less than the par value of the investment. The contractual cash flows of mortgage-backed securities are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. REMICs are issued by or backed by securities issued by these governmental agencies. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price substantially less than the amortized cost of the investment. The U.S. Treasury Department established financing agreements in 2008 to ensure Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac meet their obligations to holders of mortgage-backed securities that they have issued or guaranteed.

Since the decline in value is attributable to changes in market interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has neither the intent to sell the securities nor is it more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the securities for the time periods necessary to recover the amortized cost, the Company expects to receive all contractual cash flows from these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.investments. Therefore, 0 allowance for credit losses is recorded with respect to securities as of June 30, 2021.

A large concentration of the Company’s lending is in Ohio and Florida. As of June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, the percentage of aggregate Residential Core, Home Today and Construction loans held in Ohio was 56%55% and 57%56%, respectively, and the percentage held in Florida was 16% as of both dates.18% and 17%, respectively. As of June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, home equity loans and lines of credit were concentrated in the states of Ohio (29% and 31%), Florida (19% as of both dates), Florida (20% and 19%, respectively), and California (16% as(15% and 16%, respectively).
Residential Core mortgage loans represent the largest portion of both dates)the residential real estate portfolio. While the Company believes overall credit risk is low based on the nature, composition, collateral, products, lien position and performance of the portfolio, it could be affected by the duration and depth of the impact from COVID-19. The portfolio does not include loan types or structures that have experienced severe performance problems at other financial institutions (sub-prime, no documentation or pay-option adjustable-rate mortgages). The portfolio contains "Smart Rate" adjustable-rate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate is locked initially for mainly three or five years then resets annually, subject to various re-lock options available to the borrower. Although the borrower is qualified for its loan at a higher rate than the initial rate offered, the adjustable-rate feature may impact a borrower's ability to afford the higher payments upon rate reset during periods of rising interest rates while this repayment risk may be reduced in a declining or low rate environment. With limited historical loss experience compared to other types of loans in the portfolio, judgment is required by management in assessing the allowance required on adjustable-rate mortgage loans. The principal amount of adjustable-rate mortgage loans included in the Residential Core portfolio was $4,840,894 and $5,122,266 at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.
Home Today was an affordable housing program targeted to benefit low- and moderate-income home buyers and most loans under the program were originated prior to 2009. NoNaN new loans were originated under the Home Today program after September 30, 2016. Through this program the Company provided the majority of loans to borrowers who would not otherwise qualify for the Company’s loan products, generally because of low credit scores. Because the Company applied less stringent underwriting and credit standards to the majority of Home Today loans loans originated under the program have greater credit risk than its traditional residential real estate mortgage loans. At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, approximately 11% and 12%, respectively, of Home Today loans include private mortgage insurance coverage. The majority of the coverage on these loans was provided by PMI Mortgage Insurance Co.(PMIC), which was seized by the Arizona Department of Insurance in 2011 and currently pays all claim payments at 77.5%. Appropriate adjustments have been made to the Company’s affected valuation allowances and charge-offs, and estimated loss severity factors were adjusted accordingly for loans evaluated collectively.

The Company currently offersHome equity loans and lines of credit, which are comprised primarily of home equity lines of credit, thatrepresent a significant portion of the residential real estate portfolio and include monthly principal and interest payments throughout the entire term. Home equity lines of credit originated prior to June 2010 require interest only payments for ten years, with an option to extend the interest only and draw period another ten years. Once the draw period on lines of credit has expired, the accounts are included in the home equity loan balance. The recorded investment in interest only loans comprised solely offull credit exposure on home equity lines of credit is secured by the value of the collateral real estate at the time of origination. The impact of COVID-19 on employment, the general economy and, potentially, housing prices may adversely affect credit performance within the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio.
The Company originates construction loans to individuals for the construction of their personal single-family residence by a qualified builder (construction/permanent loans). The Company’s construction/permanent loans generally provide for disbursements to the builder or sub-contractors during the construction phase as work progresses.

Upon completion of construction, the loan converts to a permanent amortizing loan without the expense of a second closing. The Company offers construction/permanent loans with balancesfixed or adjustable-rates, and a current maximum loan-to-completed-appraised value ratio of $48685%.

COVID-19
    Regulatory agencies have encouraged financial institutions to work prudently with borrowers who are or may be unable to meet their contractual payment obligations because of the effects of COVID-19, as set forth in the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus (initially issued on March 22, 2020 and revised on April 7, 2020). FASB confirmed the foregoing regulatory agencies' view, that such short-term modifications (e.g., six months) made on a good-faith basis to borrowers who were current as of the implementation date of a relief program in response to COVID-19 are not TDRs. The regulatory agencies stated that performing loans granted payment deferrals due to COVID-19 in accordance with this interagency statement are not generally considered past due or non-accrual. The revised statement provides that eligible loan modifications related to COVID-19 may

also be accounted for under section 4013 of the CARES Act or in accordance with ASC 310-40. The CARES Act offers temporary relief from TDRs on modifications made as a result of COVID-19 that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The Company has elected to apply the temporary suspension of TDR requirements provided by the revised interagency statement for eligible loan modifications. For loan modifications that are not eligible for the suspension offered by the revised interagency statement, the Company considers the CARES Act to evaluate loan modifications within its scope, or existing TDR evaluation policies if the modification does not fall within the scope of the CARES Act.these Acts.

A COVID-19 forbearance plan is generally resolved through payment in full at termination of the forbearance; through a non-TDR repayment plan, where a portion of the forbearance is paid in addition to the original contractual payment over 12 months or less; or through a non-TDR capitalization, where the total of forborne payments are added to the principal balance of the account, either with or without an extension of the maturity date. If additional concessions are required beyond resolving the short-term forbearance, the account will be considered for further modification in a troubled debt restructuring. At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, there were $1,575$1,184 and $1,609 of residential mortgages and $179 of$201 and $116 equity loans and lines of credit, respectively, in short termshort-term repayment plans and $2,619$89,661 and $31,467 of residential mortgages and $7,877 and $0 equity loans and lines of credit, respectively, whose forbearance amounts were capitalized, subsequent to COVID-19 forbearance plans, that did not require TDR classification. The amortized cost of loan modifications eligible for TDR relief, including non-TDR forbearance plans, subsequent non-TDR repayment plans and non-TDR modifications, including capitalization, was $138,830 and $194,601 at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

Real estate loans in COVID-19 forbearance plans and those that are subsequently placed in non-TDR short-term repayment plans are reported as current and accruing when they are current in accordance with their revised contractual terms and were less than 30 days past due as of the implementation date of the relief program, March 13, 2020, per the revised interagency statement, or not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 per the CARES Act. Otherwise, the delinquency and resulting accrual status of these loans are determined by the lowest number of days the loan was past due on either the two aforementioned measurement dates (March 13, 2020 or December 31, 2019) or, considering the loan's revised contractual terms, the current reporting date. At June 30, 2020, the balance of accrued interest receivable includes $1,990 of unpaid interest on active COVID-19 forbearance plans. The uncertain and potentially tumultuous impact of COVID-19 on the

servicing regulations to help ensure that borrowers have time before foreclosure to explore their options, including loan modifications and selling their homes, to prevent avoidable foreclosures.
Loans are placed in non-accrual status when they are contractually 90 days or more past due. The number of days past due is determined by the number of scheduled payments that remain unpaid, assuming a period of 30 days between each scheduled payment. Loans with a partial charge-off are placed in non-accrual and will remain in non-accrual status until, at a minimum, the impairmentloss is recovered. Loans restructured in TDRs that were in non-accrual status prior to the restructurings remainand loans with forbearance plans that were subsequently restructured are reported in non-accrual status for a minimum of six months after restructuring. Loans restructured in TDRs with a high debt-to-income ratio at the time of modification are placed in non-accrual status for a minimum of 12 months. Additionally, home equity loans and lines of credit where the customer has a severely delinquent first mortgage loan and loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status where all borrowers have filed, and not reaffirmed or been dismissed, are placed in non-accrual status.

The recorded investmentamortized cost of loan receivables in non-accrual status is summarized in the following table. Non-accrual with no ACL describes non-accrual loans which have no quantitative or individual valuation allowance, primarily because they have already been collaterally reviewed and any required charge-offs have been taken, but may be included in consideration of qualitative allowance factors. Balances are adjusted for deferred loan fees and expenses. There are 0 loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing at June 30, 2021 or September 30, 2020.

At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, the recorded investmentamortized cost in non-accrual loans includes $36,338$32,669 and $55,171 of loans$36,835 which are performing according to the terms of their agreement, of which $21,533$17,617 and $25,895$20,334 are loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status, primarily where all borrowers have filed, and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed. The change in non-accrual loans from September 30, 2019 was partially impacted by the length of time TDRs with high debt-to-income ratios are retained in non-accrual status. TDRs with high debt-to-income ratios are placed in non-accrual status until they show sustained payment performance.
Interest on loans in accrual status including certain loans individually reviewed for impairment, is recognized in interest income as it accrues, on a daily basis. Accrued interest on loans in non-accrual status is reversed by a charge to interest income no later than 90 days past due and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. The Company has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable amounts since amounts are written off timely. Cash payments on loans in non-accrual status are applied to the oldest scheduled, unpaid payment first. The amount of interest income recognized on non-accrual loans was $201 and $646, and $225 and $827 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the balance of accrued interest receivable includes $1,243 and $2,540 of unpaid interest on active COVID-19 forbearance plans, respectively. Cash payments on loans with a partial charge-off are applied fully to principal, then to recovery of the charged off amount prior to interest income being recognized, except cash payments may be applied to interest capitalized in a restructuring when collection of remaining amounts due is considered probable. A non-accrual loan is generally returned to accrual status when contractual payments are less than 90 days past due. However, a loan may remain in non-accrual status when collectability is uncertain, such as a TDR that has not met minimum payment requirements, a loan with a partial charge-off, an equity loan or line of credit with a delinquent first mortgage greater than 90 days past due, or a loan in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status where all borrowers have filed, and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed.
The recorded investment in loan receivables at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 is summarized in the following table. The table provides details of the recorded balances according to the method of evaluation used for determining the allowance for loan losses, distinguishing between determinations made by evaluating individual loans and determinations made by evaluating groups of loans not individually evaluated. Balances of recorded investments are adjusted for deferred loan fees, expenses and any applicable loans-in-process.

At June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, individually evaluated loans that required an allowance were comprised only of loans evaluated for impairment based on the present value of cash flows, such as performing TDRs, and loans with an indication of further deterioration in the fair value of the property not yet supported by a full review and collateral evaluation. All other individually evaluated loans received a charge-off, if applicable.
Because many variables are considered in determining the appropriate level of general valuation allowances, directional changes in individual considerations do not always align with the directional change in the balance of a particular component of the general valuation allowance. At June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, allowances on individually reviewed loans evaluated for impairment (IVAs) included those based on the present value of cash flows, such as performing TDRs, were $12,890 and $13,399, and allowances on loans with further deterioration in the fair value of the property not yet supported by a full review were $0 and $106.
Residential Core mortgage loans represent the largest portion of the residential real estate portfolio. While the Company believes overall credit risk is low based on the nature, composition, collateral, products, lien position and performance of the portfolio, it could be affected by the duration and depth of the impact from COVID-19. The portfolio does not include loan types or structures that have experienced severe performance problems at other financial institutions (sub-prime, no documentation or pay-option adjustable-rate mortgages). The portfolio contains adjustable-rate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate is locked initially for mainly three or five years then resets annually, subject to various re-lock options available to the borrower. Although the borrower is qualified for its loan at a higher rate than the initial one, the adjustable-rate feature may impact a borrower's ability to afford the higher payments upon rate reset during periods of rising interest rates while this repayment risk may be reduced in a declining or low rate environment. With limited historical loss experience compared to other types of loans in the portfolio, judgment is required by management in assessing the allowance required on adjustable-rate mortgage loans. The principal amount of adjustable-rate mortgage loans included in the Residential Core portfolio was $5,236,097 and $5,063,010 at June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
As described earlier in this footnote, Home Today loans have greater credit risk than traditional residential real estate mortgage loans. At June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, approximately 13% and 14% of Home Today loans include private mortgage insurance coverage. The majority of the coverage on these loans was provided by PMI Mortgage Insurance Co., which was seized by the Arizona Department of Insurance in 2011 and currently pays all claim payments at 76.5%. Appropriate adjustments have been made to the Company’s affected valuation allowances and charge-offs, and estimated loss severity factors were adjusted accordingly for loans evaluated collectively. The amount of loans in the Company's total owned residential portfolio covered by mortgage insurance provided by PMIC as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, was $21,957 and $26,191, of which $20,991 and $24,198 was current. The amount of loans in the Company's total owned residential portfolio covered by mortgage insurance provided by Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively, was $13,798 and $17,345, of which $13,630 and $17,232 was current. As of June 30, 2020, MGIC's long-term debt rating, as published by the major credit rating agencies, did not meet the requirements to qualify as "high credit quality"; however, MGIC continues to make claim payments in accordance with its contractual obligations and the Company has not increased its estimated loss severity factors related to MGIC's claim paying ability. NaN other loans were covered by mortgage insurers that were deferring claim payments or which were assessed as being non-investment grade.
Home equity loans and lines of credit, which are comprised primarily of home equity lines of credit, represent a significant portion of the residential real estate portfolio. On home equity lines of credit originated prior to 2012, subsequent deterioration in economic and housing market conditions may impact a borrower's ability to afford the higher payments required during the end of draw repayment period that follows the period of interest only payments, or the ability to secure alternative financing. Beginning in 2013, the terms on new home equity lines of credit included monthly principal and interest payments throughout the entire term to minimize the potential payment differential between the draw and after draw periods.

The impact of COVID-19 on employment, the general economy and, potentially, housing prices may adversely affect credit performance within the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio.
The Company originates construction loans to individuals for the construction of their personal single-family residence by a qualified builder (construction/permanent loans). The Company’s construction/permanent loans generally provide for disbursements to the builder or sub-contractors during the construction phase as work progresses. During the construction phase, the borrower only pays interest on the drawn balance. Upon completion of construction, the loan converts to a permanent amortizing loan without the expense of a second closing. The Company offers construction/permanent loans with fixed or adjustable-rates, and a current maximum loan-to-completed-appraised value ratio of 70%. Prior to March 26, 2020 the maximum loan to completed-appraised value ratio was 85%.
Other loans are comprised of loans secured by certificate of deposit accounts, which are fully recoverable in the event of non-payment, and forgivable down payment assistance loans, which are unsecured loans used as down payment assistance to borrowers qualified through partner housing agencies. The Company records a liability for the loans which are forgiven in equal increments over a pre-determined term, subject to residency requirements.ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
For all classes of loans, a loan is considered impairedcollateral-dependent when, based on current information and events, itthe borrower is probable thatexperiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest according to the contractual termssale of the loan agreement.collateral or foreclosure is probable. Factors considered in determining that a loan is impairedcollateral-dependent may include the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower indicated by missed or delinquent payments, a pending legal action, such as bankruptcy or foreclosure, or the absence of adequate security for the loan.
The recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance of impaired loans, including those reported as TDRs, as of June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, are summarized as follows. Balances of recorded investments are adjusted for deferred loan fees and expenses.

Interest on loans in non-accrual status is recognized on a cash basis. The amount of interest income on impaired loans recognized using a cash basis method was $220 and $793 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and $343 and $1,082 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Cash payments on loans with a partial charge-off are applied fully to principal, then to recovery of the charged off amount prior to interest income being recognized, except cash payments may be applied to interest capitalized in a restructuring when collection of remaining amounts due is considered probable. Interest income on the remaining impaired loans is recognized on an accrual basis.

Charge-offs on residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and construction loans are recognized when triggering events, such as foreclosure actions, short sales, or deeds accepted in lieu of repayment, result in less than full repayment of the recorded investmentamortized cost in the loans.
Partial or full charge-offs are also recognized for the amount of impairmentcredit losses on loans considered collateral dependent that meet one or more ofcollateral-dependent when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty as described by meeting the conditions described below.

For residential mortgage loans, payments are greater than 180 days delinquent;
For home equity lines of credit, equity loans, and residential loans restructured in a TDR, payments are greater than 90 days delinquent;
For all classes of loans in a TDR forbearance plan, original payments are greater than 150 days past due;
For all classes of loans restructured in a TDR with a high debt-to-income ratio at time of modification;
For all classes of loans, a sheriff sale is scheduled within 60 days to sell the collateral securing the loan;
For all classes of loans, all borrowers have been discharged of their obligation through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy;
For all classes of loans, within 60 days of notification, all borrowers obligated on the loan have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed;
For all classes of loans, a borrower obligated on a loan has filed bankruptcy and the loan is greater than 30 days delinquent;
For all classes of loans, a forbearance plan has been extended greater than 12 months; and
For all classes of loans, it becomes evident that a loss is probable.
Collateral dependent
Collateral-dependent residential mortgage loans and construction loans are charged off to the extent the recorded investmentamortized cost in the loan, net of anticipated mortgage insurance claims, exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the underlying property. Management can determine if the loan is uncollectible for reasons such as foreclosures exceeding a reasonable time frame and recommend a full charge-off. Home equity loans or lines of credit are charged off to the extent the recorded investmentamortized cost in the loan plus the balance of any senior liens exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the underlying property, or management determines the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the loan. A loan in any portfolio identified as collateral dependentcollateral-dependent will continue to be reported as impairedsuch until it is no longer considered collateral dependent,collateral-dependent, is less than 30 days past due and does not have a prior charge-off. A loan in any portfolio that has a partial charge-off consequent to impairment evaluation will continue to be individually evaluated for impairmentcredit loss until, at a minimum, the impairmentloss has been recovered.
Residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and construction loans restructured in TDRs that are not evaluated based on collateral are separately evaluated for impairmentcredit losses on a loan by loan basis at the time of restructuring and at each subsequent reporting date for as long as they are reported as TDRs. The impairmentcredit loss evaluation is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan. Expected future cash flows include a discount factor representing a potential for default. Valuation allowances are recorded for the excess of the recorded investmentsamortized costs over the result of the cash flow analysis. Loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy are reported as TDRs and also evaluated based on the present value of expected future cash flows unless evaluated based on collateral. We evaluate these loans using the expected future cash flows because we expect the borrower, not liquidation of the collateral, to be the source of repayment for

NaNproperty not yet supported by a full review and collateral evaluation. All other individually evaluated loans whose terms were restructured inreceived a charge-off, if applicable. At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, allowances on individually reviewed loans evaluated for credit losses (IVAs) included those based on the present value of cash flows, such as performing TDRs, were reclassified$12,326 and $12,830, and quantitative allowances on loans with further deterioration in the fair value of the property not yet supported by a full review were $0 and $20.
The Company adopted the CECL allowance methodology as of October 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach, replacing the previous incurred loss methodology. The allowance for credit losses now represents the estimate of lifetime loss in our loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. An allowance is established using relevant available information, relating to past events, current conditions and supportable forecasts. The Company utilizes loan level regression models with forecasted economic data to derive the probability of default and loss given default factors. These factors are used to calculate the loan level credit loss over a 24-month period with an immediate reversion to historical mean loss rates for the remaining life of the loans.

Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Qualitative adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency status or likely recovery of previous loan charge-offs. Qualitative adjustments for expected changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values or other relevant factors are recognized when forecasted economic data used in the model differs from impaired loans duringmanagement's view or contains significant unobservable changes within a short period, particularly when those changes are directionally positive. Identifiable model limitations may also lead to qualitative adjustments. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 20202021, a qualitative adjustment was made to the allowance for credit losses to align forecasted model results with management's view of the future. The published economic forecasts were more optimistic than management felt was appropriate due to the continued uncertainty in the economy related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative adjustment was also made to reflect the expected recovery of loan amounts previously charged off, beyond what the model is able to project. This adjustment resulted in a negative ending balance on the allowance for credit losses for the Home Today portfolio, where recoveries are expected to exceed charge-offs over the remaining life of that portfolio. Adjustments are evaluated quarterly based on current facts and June 30, 2019.circumstances.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment is summarized as follows. See Note 11. LOAN COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES for further details on the allowance for unfunded commitments.

5.LEASES
On October 1, 2019,The recorded investment in total real estate loans and an analysis of the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842),allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2020 is summarized in the following table, under previously applicable GAAP. The table provides details of the recorded balances and the allowance for loan losses according to the method of evaluation used for determining the allowance for loan losses, distinguishing between determinations made by evaluating individual loans and determinations made by evaluating groups of loans collectively. Balances of recorded investments are adjusted for deferred loan fees and expenses and any applicable loans-in-process. Other loans are all related amendments which require lessees to recognize operating leases on the Consolidated Statements of Condition as lease assets (a right-of-use asset)collectively reviewed and lease liabilities (a liability to make lease payments), measured on a discounted basis. Prior to October 1, 2019, operating leases were not recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Condition. As permitted under ASC 842, the Company has made an accounting policy election to exempt leases with an initial term of twelve months or less from the Consolidated Statements of Condition recognition and to expense them over the lease term. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of assets. The Company also elected the package of practical expedients that do not require reassessment of whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, or initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company also adopted ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, and elected not to recast comparative periods in the period of adoption of ASU 2016-02. The adoption of ASU 2018-11 did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings.an allowance.
As a lessee, the Company enters into leases of buildings and land. The Company occupies certain banking branches and a disaster recovery site through non-cancellable operating leases with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to 17 years. The Company does not have financing leases. Most of the leases have fixed payment terms with annual fixed-escalation clauses. Certain leases have annual rent escalations based on subsequent year-to-year changes in the consumer price index. These year-to-year changes in the consumer price index are excluded from the calculation of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred. Additionally, all variable lease costs that are not based on an index or rate, such as "common area maintenance" costs, are expensed as incurred. Most of the Company's leases include options to extend for periods that range from five to 10 years. The leases do not have early-termination options. The Company has not included term extensions in the calculation of the lease term, as the Company does not consider it reasonably certain that the options will be exercised. As the interest rate implicit in all of the Company's lease contracts is not readily

The Company’s combined federal and state effective income tax rate was 16.6%19.5% and 21.9%16.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and June 30, 2019,2020, respectively. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the passageimpact of thea CARES Act provision, which permitspermitted a carry back of net tax operating losses to years taxed at higher rates, and resulted in a higher rate, andtax benefit of $3,607 during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. This is slightly offset by an increase in permanent tax benefits from BOLI contracts, as $70,000 of additional premiums were placed during the nine months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, there was an increase in excess tax benefits associated with equity compensation during the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020.

The Company makes certain investments in limited partnerships which invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). The Company acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnership. The Company accounts for its interests in LIHTCs using the proportional amortization method. The impact of the Company's investments in tax credit entities on the provision for income taxes was not material during the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and June 30, 2019.2020.

10.9.    DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN
The Third Federal Savings Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined benefit pension plan. Effective December 31, 2002, the Plan was amended to limit participation to employees who met the Plan’s eligibility requirements on that date. Effective December 31, 2011, the Plan was amended to freeze future benefit accruals for participants in the Plan. After December 31, 2002, employees not participating in the Plan, upon meeting the applicable eligibility requirements, and those eligible participants who no longer receive service credits under the Plan, participate in a separate tier of the Company’s defined contribution 401(k) Savings Plan. Benefits under the Plan are based on years of service and the employee’s average annual compensation (as defined in the Plan) through December 31, 2011. The funding policy of the Plan is consistent with the funding requirements of U.S. federal and other governmental laws and regulations. In the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, a settlement adjustment was recognized as a result of lump sum payments from the Plan exceeding the interest costs for the period.

11.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments to originate loans generally have fixed expiration dates of 60 to 360 days or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Unfunded commitments related to home equity lines of credit generally expire from five to 10 years following the date that the line of credit was established, subject to various conditions, including compliance with payment obligations, adequacy of collateral securing the line and maintenance of a satisfactory credit profile by the borrower. Since some of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit involve elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in assets on the consolidated statements of condition.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitment is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. The
Company generally uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The allowance related to off-balance sheet commitments is recorded in other liabilities in the CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION. Refer to Note 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES for discussion on

credit loss methodology. Interest rate risk on commitments to extend credit results from the possibility that interest rates may have moved unfavorably from the position of the Company since the time the commitment was made.

At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had $45,231and $0,$152 and $36,078, respectively, in commitments to
securitize and sell mortgage loans.

The above commitments are expected to be funded through normal operations.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operation, or statements of cash flows.

12.    FAIR VALUE
Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A fair value framework is established whereby assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy, based on the transparency of inputs and the reliability of assumptions used to estimate fair value. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels of the hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurs. The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level 1 –  quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2
  quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets with few transactions, or model-based valuation techniques using assumptions that are observable in the market.
Level 3 –  a company’s own assumptions about how market participants would price an asset or liability.

As permitted under the fair value guidance in U.S. GAAP, the Company elects to measure at fair value mortgage loans classified as held for sale that are subject to pending agency contracts to securitize and sell loans. This election is expected to reduce volatility in earnings related to market fluctuations between the contract trade and settlement dates. At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, there were $45,231$152 and $0$36,078 of loans held for sale, all of which were current, with unpaid principal balances of $43,236$147 and $0,$34,179, subject to pending agency contracts for which the fair value option was elected. Included in the net gain on the sale of loans is $2,331$40 and $0a loss of $134 for the three months ending June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $2,331 and $0 for the nine months ending June 30, 20202021, respectively, and 2019, respectively,$2,331 for both the three and nine months ending June 30, 2020, related to the changes during the period in fair value of loans held for sale subject to pending agency contracts.
Presented below is a discussion of the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company to estimate fair value.
Investment Securities Available for Sale—Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, this includes $514,330$419,444 and $547,864$453,438 of investments in U.S. government obligations including highly liquid collateralized mortgage obligations issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac

and Ginnie Mae, measured using the market approach. The fair values of investment securities represent unadjusted price estimates obtained from third party independent nationally recognized pricing services using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy. Third party pricing is reviewed on a monthly basis for reasonableness based on the market knowledge and experience of company personnel that interact daily with the markets for these types of securities.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale—The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated on an aggregate basis using a market approach based on quoted secondary market pricing for loan portfolios with similar characteristics. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value except, as described above, the Company elects the fair value measurement option for mortgage loans held for sale subject to pending agency contracts to securitize and sell loans. Loans held for sale are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy. At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, there were $45,231$152 and $0,$36,078, respectively, of loans held for sale measured at fair value and $5,908$6,779 and $3,666,$793, respectively, of loans held for sale carried at cost. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recorded in interest income on loans.
ImpairedCollateral-dependent LoansImpairedCollateral-dependent loans represent certain loans held for investment that are subject to a fair value measurement under U.S. GAAP because they are individually evaluated for impairment and that impairment is measured using a fair value measurement, such as the fair value of the underlying collateral. ImpairmentCredit loss is measured using a market approach based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to dispose, for loans the Company considers to be collateral-dependent due to a delinquency status or other adverse condition severe enough to indicate that the borrower can no longer be relied upon as the continued source of repayment. These conditions are described more fully in NoteNote 4. Loans and Allowance for Loan LossesLOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES. To calculate impairmentthe credit loss of collateral-dependent loans, the fair market values of the collateral, estimated using exterior appraisals in the majority of instances, are reduced by calculated estimated costs to dispose, derived from historical experience and recent market conditions. Any indicated impairmentcredit loss is recognized by a charge to the allowance for loancredit losses. Subsequent increases in collateral values or principal pay downs on loans with recognized impairmentcredit loss could result in an impaireda collateral-dependent loan being carried below its fair value. When no impairmentcredit loss is indicated, the carrying amount is considered to approximate the fair value of that loan to the Company because contractually that is the maximum recovery the Company can expect. The recorded investmentamortized cost of loans individually evaluated for impairmentcredit loss based on the fair value of the collateral are included in Level 3 of the hierarchy with assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The range and weighted average impact of estimated costs to dispose on fair values is determined at the time of impairmentcredit loss or when additional impairmentcredit loss is recognized and is included in quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs later in this note.
Loans held for investment that have been restructured in TDRs, are performing according to the restructured terms of the loan agreement and not evaluated based on collateral are individually evaluated for impairmentcredit loss using the present value of future cash flows based on the loan’s effective interest rate, which is not a fair value measurement. At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, this included $94,798$85,827 and $98,875$94,495 in recorded investmentamortized cost of TDRs with related allowances for loss of $12,890$12,326 and $13,399.$12,830.
Real Estate Owned—Real estate owned includes real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and is carried at the lower of the cost basis or fair value, less estimated costs to dispose. The carrying amounts of real estate owned at June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 20192020 were $1,395$0 and $2,163,$185, respectively. Fair value is estimated under the market approach using independent third party appraisals. As these properties are actively marketed, estimated fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions. At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, these adjustments were not significant to reported fair values. At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, respectively, $734$0 and $987$213 of real estate owned is included in Level 3 of the hierarchy with assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis where the cost basis equals or exceeds the estimate of fair values, less estimated costs to dispose of these properties.

Derivatives—Derivative instruments include interest rate locks on commitments to originate loans for the held for sale portfolio, forward commitments on contracts to deliver mortgage loans and interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges. Derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges are reported at fair value in otherOther assets or otherOther liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of ConditionCONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION with changes in value recorded in current earnings. Derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are settled daily, bringing the fair value to $0. Refer to Note 14. Derivative Instruments13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS for additional information on cash flow hedges. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments is adjusted by a closure rate based on the estimated percentage of commitments that will result in closed loans. The range and weighted average impact of the closure rate is included in quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs later in this note. A significant change in the closure rate may result in a significant change in the ending fair value measurement of these derivatives relative to their total fair value. Because the closure rate is a significantly unobservable assumption, interest rate lock commitments are included

Presented below is a discussion of the valuation techniques and inputs used by the Company to estimate fair value.

Cash and Due from Banks, Interest Earning Cash Equivalents, Cash Collateral Received from or Held by Counterparty— The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities Available for Sale Estimated fair value for investment and mortgage-backed securities is based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted prices are not available, management will use as part of their estimation process fair values which are obtained from third party independent nationally recognized pricing services using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows.
Mortgage Loans Held for Sale— Fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is based on quoted secondary market pricing for loan portfolios with similar characteristics.
Loans— For mortgage loans held for investment and other loans, fair value is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows adjusted for prepayment estimates using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term. The use of current rates to discount cash flows reflects current market expectations with respect to credit exposure. See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for more information on the methodology used to estimate fair value. ImpairedCollateral-dependent loans are measured at the lower of cost or fair value as described earlier in this footnote.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock— It is not practical to estimate the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions on its transferability. The fair value is estimated to be the carrying value, which is par. All transactions in capital stock of the FHLB Cincinnati are executed at par.
Deposits— The fair value of demand deposit accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using discounted cash flows and rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Borrowed Funds— Estimated fair value for borrowed funds is estimated using discounted cash flows and rates currently charged for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.

13.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense and manage exposure to interest rate movements as part of an overall risk management strategy. For hedges of the Company's borrowing program, interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments. These derivatives are used to hedge the forecasted cash outflows associated with the Company's FHLB borrowings. At June 30, 20202021 and September 30, 2019,2020, the interest rate swaps used in the Company's asset/liability management strategy have weighted average terms of 3.32.7 years and 3.73.0 years and weighted average fixed-rate interest payments of 1.80%1.85% and 1.92%1.76%, respectively.
Cash flow hedges are initially assessed for effectiveness using regression analysis. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Quarterly, a qualitative analysis is performed to monitor the ongoing effectiveness of the hedging instrument. All derivative positions were initially and continue to be highly effective at June 30, 2020.2021.
The Company enters into forward commitments for the sale of mortgage loans principally to protect against the risk of lost revenue from adverse interest rate movements on net income. The Company recognizes the fair value of such contracts when the characteristics of those contracts meet the definition of a derivative. These derivatives are not designated in a hedging relationship; therefore, gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Income.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME.
In addition, the Company is party to derivative instruments when it enters into interest rate lock commitments to originate a portion of its loans, which when funded, are classified as held for sale. Such commitments are not designated in a hedging relationship; therefore, gains and losses are recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Income.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME.

Derivatives contain an element of credit risk which arises from the possibility that the Company will incur a loss because a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional or principal amounts. Credit risk is minimized through counterparty margin payments, transaction limits and monitoring procedures. All of the Company's swap transactions are cleared through a registered clearing broker to a central clearing organization. The clearing organization establishes daily cash and upfront cash or securities margin requirements to cover potential exposure in the event of default. This process shifts the risk away from the counterparty, since the clearing organization acts as the middleman on each cleared transaction. At June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, there was $30,529 and $41,824, respectively, included in other assets related to initial margin requirements held by the central clearing organization. For derivative transactions cleared through certain clearing parties, variation margin payments representing changes in fair value are recognized as settlements on a daily basis. The fair value of derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis, even when the derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements.
15. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adopted during the nine months ended June 30, 2020
In March As of October 16, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update provide optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The guidance only applies to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We adopted the amendments as of the March 12, 2020 issuance date. There have not been any contracts modified as of June 30, 2020. As contracts are modified through December 2022, we will assess the impactprice alignment interest (PAI) is discounted based on this guidance. Management does not expect there will bethe US Secured Overnight Rate (SOFR), replacing the Federal Funds Rate. At transition, the Company received three basis swaps which were concurrently sold as part of a mandatory re-hedging process with no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Issued but not yet adopted as of June 30, 2020
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update replace the existing incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects the expected credit losses for the remaining life of the asset.net income. This will require consideration of a broader range of information, including reasonable and supportable forecasts,change in the measurementprice alignment interest discount is part of expected credit losses. The amendments expand disclosures of credit quality indicators, requiring disaggregation by year of origination (vintage). Additionally, credit losses on available for sale debt securities will be recognized as an allowance rather thaninitiative to establish a write-down, with reversals permitted as credit loss estimates decline. An entity will apply the amendments in this Update through a modified-retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The Association will elect the option to phase-in, over a three- or five-year period, the initial impact of this standard's update on regulatory capital as permitted by the regulatory transition rules. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company intends to adopt this guidance effective October 1, 2020 and will not delay due to the temporary relief provided by the CARES Act. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief, which addressesmore risk-free rate.

stakeholders' concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. The FASB has issued other ASUs that clarify certain items related to ASU 2016-13. Management has continued to utilize a cross-functional working group which has substantially completed the execution of a detailed implementation plan, including the selection and implementation of estimation methodologies and credit loss models for all significant portfolio segments, implemented an internal software solution to serve as its CECL platform, established a formal governance structure, and is refining the processes and controls governing the CECL estimate. The Company has completed several parallel credit model production runs and will continue to refine, challenge and review CECL models, processes, and controls throughout the remainder of implementation. Based on forecasted economic conditions and portfolio balances as of June 30, 2020, we expect the allowance for credit losses on loans and the liability for unfunded commitments to increase approximately 120% to 150% in total upon adoption of these Updates. A 24-month reasonable and supportable period using economic forecasts is used with immediate reversion to the historical mean loss rates to derive our loss estimates. The increase is primarily related to the change in methodology from loss emergence periods currently used to an estimate of lifetime credit losses required by the CECL standard. The estimated impact is still subject to further refinement based on continuing reviews of models, methodologies, assumptions and judgements. The actual effect on the allowance for credit losses at the adoption date will be dependent upon the nature of the characteristics of the portfolio as well as the macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at that date. The adoption of CECL is not expected to have a material effect on available-for-sale securities, which are primarily composed of agency-backed mortgage securities.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this Update add, remove and modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this Update. The Company intends to adopt the amendments effective October 1, 2020. The Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. Current U.S. GAAP does not specifically address the accounting for implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. Accordingly, the amendments in this Update improve current U.S GAAP because they clarify that accounting and align the accounting for implementation costs for hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for all entities. The Company intends to adopt the amendments effective October 1, 2020. Management is currently assessing the impact the Update will have on the Company's disclosures.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Updates 2016-01, 2016-13 and 2017-12. The Company early adopted the amendments related to Updates 2016-01 and 2017-12 effective July 1, 2019. The amendments related to Update 2016-13 clarify the scope of the credit losses standard and address issues related to accrued interest and recoveries. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company intends to adopt the credit loss standard amendments concurrently with Update 2016-13 on October 1, 2020.
The Company has determined that all other recently issued accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or do not apply to its operations.

Overview
Our business strategy is to operate as a well-capitalized and profitable financial institution dedicated to providing exceptional personal service to our customers.
Since being organized in 1938, we grew to become, at the time of our initial public offering of stock in April 2007, the nation’s largest mutually-owned savings and loan association based on total assets. We credit our success to our continued emphasis on our primary values: “Love, Trust, Respect, and a Commitment to Excellence, along with Having Fun.” Our values are reflected in the design and pricing of our loan and deposit products, as described below. Our values are further reflected in a long-term revitalization program encompassing the three-mile corridor of the Broadway-Slavic Village neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio where our main office was established and continues to be located and where the educational programs we have established and/or supported are located. We intend to continue to adhere to our primary values and to support our customers and the communities in which we operate, as we pursue our mission to help people achieve the dream of home ownership and financial security while creating value for our shareholders, our customers, our communities and our associates.
COVID-19 Pandemic. During the current quarter, theThe COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on our customers, associates and communities, which collectively impacts our shareholders. Our primary values and mission mentioned above have driven our responses related to COVID-19 and are summarized below.

StrongContinuation of strong credit quality and capital levels to support potential loan performance issues
Staying true to the Third Federal Values that have guided us throughout history (love, trust, respect,operations during all economic environments and our commitment to excellence, and fun)paying an attractive dividend.
Beyond working through the challenges COVID-19 presents to the organization and society, management believes that the following matters are those most critical to our success: (1) controlling our interest rate risk exposure; (2) monitoring and limiting our credit risk; (3) maintaining access to adequate liquidity and diverse funding sources to support our growth; and (4) monitoring and controlling our operating expenses.
Controlling Our Interest Rate Risk Exposure. Historically, our greatest risk has been our exposure to changes in interest rates. When we hold longer-term, fixed-rate assets, funded by liabilities with shorter-term re-pricing characteristics, we are exposed to potentially adverse impacts from changing interest rates, and most notably rising interest rates. Generally, and particularly over extended periods of time that encompass full economic cycles, interest rates associated with longer-term assets, like fixed-rate mortgages, have been higher than interest rates associated with shorter-term funding sources, like deposits. This difference has been an important component of our net interest income and is fundamental to our operations. We manage the risk of holding longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage assets primarily by maintaining regulatory capital in excess of

levels required to be well capitalized, by promoting adjustable-rate loans and shorter-term fixed-rate loans, by marketing home equity lines of credit, which carry an adjustable rate of interest indexed to the prime rate, by opportunistically extending the duration of our funding sources and selectively selling a portion of our long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market. The decision to extend the duration of some of our funding sources through interest rate swap contracts over the past few years has also caused additional interest rate risk exposure, as the current historical low market interest rates are lower than the rates in effect when most of the swap contracts were executed. This rate difference is reflected in the level of cash flow hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Levels of Regulatory Capital
At June 30, 2020,2021, the Company’s Tier 1 (leverage) capital totaled $1.77$1.80 billion, or 11.82%12.39% of net average assets and 21.62%23.07% of risk-weighted assets, while the Association’s Tier 1 (leverage) capital totaled $1.53$1.56 billion, or 10.25%10.80% of net average assets and 18.73%20.11% of risk-weighted assets. Each of these measures was more than twice the requirements currently in effect for the Association for designation as “well capitalized” under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions, which set minimum levels of 5.00% of net average assets and 8.00% of risk-weighted assets. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Item 2 for additional discussion regarding regulatory capital requirements.
Promotion of Adjustable-Rate Loans and Shorter-Term Fixed-Rate Loans
We market an adjustable-rate mortgage loan that provides us with improved interest rate risk characteristics when compared to a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage loan. Our “Smart Rate” adjustable-rate mortgage offers borrowers an interest rate lower than that of a 30-year, fixed-rate loan. The interest rate of the Smart Rate mortgage is locked for three or five years then resets annually. The Smart Rate mortgage contains a feature to re-lock the rate an unlimited number of times at our then-current interest rate and fee schedule, for another three or five years (which must be the same as the original lock period) without having to complete a full refinance transaction. Re-lock eligibility is subject to a satisfactory payment performance history by the borrower (current at the time of re-lock, and no foreclosures or bankruptcies since the Smart Rate application was taken). In addition to a satisfactory payment history, re-lock eligibility requires that the property continues to be the borrower’s primary residence. The loan term cannot be extended in connection with a re-lock nor can new funds be advanced. All interest rate caps and floors remain as originated.
We also offer a ten-year, fully amortizing fixed-rate, first mortgage loan. The ten-year, fixed-rate loan has a more desirable interest rate risk profile when compared to loans with fixed-rate terms of 15 to 30 years and can help to more effectively manage interest rate risk exposure, yet provides our borrowers with the certainty of a fixed interest rate throughout the life of the obligation.

Marketing Home Equity Lines of Credit
We actively market home equity lines of credit, which carry an adjustable rate of interest indexed to the prime rate, which provides interest rate sensitivity to that portion of our assets and is a meaningful strategy to manage our interest rate risk profile. At June 30, 2020,2021, the principal balance of home equity lines of credit totaled $1.94$1.91 billion. Our home equity lending is discussed in the Allowance for LoanCredit Losses section of the Critical Accounting Policies that follows this Overview.

Extending the Duration of Funding Sources
As a complement to our strategies to shorten the duration of our interest earning assets, as described above, we also seek to lengthen the duration of our interest bearing funding sources. These efforts include monitoring the relative costs of alternative funding sources such as retail deposits, brokered certificates of deposit, longer-term (e.g. four to six years) fixed-rate advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, and shorter-term (e.g. three months) advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, the durations of which are extended by correlated interest rate exchange contracts. Each funding alternative is monitored and evaluated based on its effective interest payment rate, options exercisable by the creditor (early withdrawal, right to call, etc.), and collateral requirements. The interest payment rate is a function of market influences that are specific to the nuances and market competitiveness/breadth of each funding source. Generally, early withdrawal options are available to our retail CD customers but not to holders of brokered CDs; issuer call options are not provided on our advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati; and we are not subject to early termination options with respect to our interest rate exchange contracts. Additionally, collateral pledges are not provided with respect to our retail CDs or our brokered CDs, but are required for our advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati as well as for our interest rate exchange contracts. As a result of increased available cash from loan sales beginning in fiscal 2020, as discussed below, we have also effectively extended the duration of funding sources by reducing the levels of our short-term and total funding. We will continue to evaluate the structure of our funding sources based on current needs.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the balance of deposits increased $463.7decreased $74.8 million, which included a $46.1$23.0 million increasedecrease in the balance of brokered CDs (which is inclusive of acquisition costs and subsequent amortization). Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, we decreased total FHLB of Cincinnati advances by $379.0 million, including a $400.0 million decrease in 90 day advances, which were in place to support interest rate swap contracts that matured during the period. The balance of our short-term advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati by $439 million; and added $250 millionat June 30, 2021 consist solely of new, four- to five-yearterm advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati; and we added $325 million of new, shorter-term advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati that were matched/correlated to interest rate exchange contracts that extended the effective durations of those shorter-term advances to approximately four to seven years at inception. There are no remaining short-term advances not associated with interest rate swap contracts. Interest rate swaps are discussed later in Part IPart 1,, ItemItem 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, these funding source modifications facilitated asset growth

Other Interest Rate Risk Management Tools
We also manage interest rate risk by selectively selling a portion of our long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market. Prior to fiscal 2010, this strategy was used to a greater extent to manage our interest rate risk, but it remains a tool available to us. The sales of first mortgage loans increased significantly during fiscal 2020 and continued into fiscal 2021, due to an increase in the number of fixed-rate refinances. At June 30, 2020,2021, we serviced $1.91$2.28 billion of loans for others, of which $857$729.3 million waswere sold in the secondary market prior to fiscal 2010. The salesIn deciding whether to sell loans to manage interest rate risk, we also consider the level of first mortgage loans has increased significantly during fiscal 2020 duegains to a wave of fixed-rate refinances.be recognized in comparison to the impact to our net interest income. We can also manage interest rate risk by selling non-Fannie Mae compliant mortgage loans to private investors, although those transactions are dependent upon favorable market conditions, including motivated private investors, and involve more complicated negotiations and longer settlement timelines. Loan sales are discussed later in this Part 1, I,Item 2. under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources, and in Part IPart 1,, ItemItem 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Notwithstanding our efforts to manage interest rate risk, should a rapid and substantial increase occur in general market interest rates, or an extended period of a flat or inverted yield curve market persist, it is expected that, prospectively and particularly over a multi-year time horizon, the level of our net interest income would be adversely impacted.
Monitoring and Limiting Our Credit Risk. While, historically, we had been successful in limiting our credit risk exposure by generally imposing high credit standards with respect to lending, the memory of the 2008 housing market collapse and financial crisis is a constant reminder to focus on credit risk. In response to the evolving economic landscape, we continuously revise and update our quarterly analysis and evaluation procedures, as needed, for each category of our lending with the objective of identifying and recognizing all appropriate credit impairments.losses. Continuous analysis and evaluation updates will be important as we monitor the impact to our borrowers as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic. At June 30, 2020, 90%2021, 89% of our assets consisted of residential real estate loans (both “held for sale” and “held for investment”) and home equity loans and lines of credit, which were originated predominantly to borrowers in Ohio and Florida. Our analytic procedures and evaluations include specific reviews of all home equity loans and lines of credit that become 90 or more days past due, as well as specific reviews of all first mortgage loans that become 180 or more days past due. We transfer performing home equity lines of credit subordinate to first mortgages delinquent greater than 90 days to non-accrual status. Per the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus, the COVID-19 related forbearance plans will not generally affect the delinquency status of the loan and therefore will not undergo a specific review.review unless extended greater than 12 months. We also charge-off performing loans to collateral value and classify those loans as non-accrual within 60 days of notification of all borrowers filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that have not reaffirmed or been dismissed, regardless of how long the loans have been performing. Loans where at least one borrower has been discharged of their

Table of Contents

obligation in Chapter 7 bankruptcy are classified as TDRs. At June 30, 2020, $19.32021, $15.7 million of loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status with no other modification to terms were included in total TDRs. At June 30, 2020,2021, the recorded investmentamortized cost in non-accrual status loans included $21.5$17.6 million of performing loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status, of which $20.9$17.1 million were also reported as TDRs.
In an effort to limit our credit risk exposure and improve the credit performance of new customers, since 2009, we have tightened our credit criteria in evaluating a borrower's ability to successfully fulfill its repayment obligation, revised the design of many of our loan products to require higher borrower down-payments, limited the products available for condominiums and eliminated certain product features (such as interest-only and loans above certain LTV ratios). We use stringent, conservative lending standards for underwriting to reduce our credit risk. For first mortgage loans originated during the current fiscal year, the average credit score was 776,780, and the average LTV was 67%60%. The delinquency level related to loan originations prior to 2009, compared to originations in 2009 and after, reflects the higher credit standards to which we have subjected all new originations. As of June 30, 2020,2021, loans originated prior to 2009 had a balance of $669.4$485.5 million, of which $17.9$13.5 million, or 2.7%2.8%, were delinquent, while loans originated in 2009 and after had a balance of $12.80$12.19 billion, of which $13.4$12.0 million, or 0.1%, were delinquent.
One aspect of our credit risk concern relates to high concentrations of our loans that are secured by residential real estate in specific states, particularly Ohio and Florida, in light of the difficulties that arose in connection with the 2008 housing crisis with respect to the real estate markets in those two states. At June 30, 2020,2021, approximately 56.4%54.6% and 16.4%17.8% of the combined total of our Residential Core and construction loans held for investment and approximately 29.5%28.9% and 19.2%19.7% of our home equity loans and lines of credit were secured by properties in Ohio and Florida, respectively. In an effort to moderate the concentration of our credit risk exposure in individual states, particularly Ohio and Florida, we have utilized direct mail marketing, our internet site and our customer service call center to extend our lending activities to other attractive geographic locations. Currently, in addition to Ohio and Florida, we are actively lending in 23 other states and the District of Columbia, and as a result of that activity, the concentration ratios of the combined total of our residential, Core and construction loans held for investment in Ohio and Florida have trended downward from their September 30, 2010 levels when the concentrations were

79.1% in Ohio and 19.0% in Florida. Of the total mortgage and home equity loan originations forloans originated in the nine months ended June 30, 2020, 25.2%2021, 28.5% are secured by properties in states other than Ohio or Florida.
Our residential Home Today loans are another area of credit risk concern as the majority of these loans were originated under less stringent underwriting and credit standards than our Residential Core portfolio. Although we no longer originate loans under this program and the principal balance in these loans had declined to $77.7$67.1 million at June 30, 2020,2021, and constituted only 0.6% of our total “held for investment” loan portfolio balance, they comprised 14.0%12.2% and 15.4%15.6% of our 90 days or greater delinquencies and our total delinquencies, respectively, at that date. At June 30, 2020,2021, approximately 95.6%95.3% and 4.3%4.5% of our residential Home Today loans were secured by properties in Ohio and Florida, respectively. At June 30, 2020,2021, the percentages of those loans delinquent 30 days or more in Ohio and Florida were 6.3%6.1% and 5.4%2.9%, respectively. We attempted to manage our Home Today credit risk by requiring private mortgage insurance for some loans. At June 30, 2020, 12.5%2021, 11.2% of Home Today loans included private mortgage insurance coverage. From a peak recorded investmentamortized cost of $306.6 million at December 31, 2007, the total recorded investmentamortized cost of the Home Today portfolio has declined to $77.4$66.7 million at June 30, 2020.2021. Since the vast majority of Home Today loans were originated prior to March 2009 and we are no longer originating loans under our Home Today program, the Home Today portfolio will continue to decline in balance, primarily due to contractual amortization. As part of our adoption of CECL on October 1, 2020, which includes a lifetime view of expected losses, our allowance for credit losses for the Home Today portfolio is reduced by expected future recoveries of loan amounts previously charged off. To supplant the Home Today product and to continue to meet the credit needs of our customers and the communities that we serve, we have offered Fannie Mae eligible, Home Ready loans since fiscal 2016. These loans are originated in accordance with Fannie Mae's underwriting standards. While we retain the servicing rights related to these loans, the loans, along with the credit risk associated therewith, are securitized/sold to Fannie Mae.
Maintaining Access to Adequate Liquidity and Diverse Funding Sources to Support our Growth. For most insured depositories, customer and community confidence are critical to their ability to maintain access to adequate liquidity and to conduct business in an orderly manner. We believe that a well capitalized institution is one of the most important factors in nurturing customer and community confidence. Accordingly, we have managed the pace of our growth in a manner that reflects our emphasis on high capital levels. At June 30, 2020,2021, the Association’s ratio of Tier 1 (leverage) capital to net average assets (a basic industry measure that deems 5.00% or above to represent a “well capitalized” status) was 10.25%10.80%. The Association's Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio is lower at June 30, 20202021 than its ratio at September 30, 2019, which was 10.54%, due primarily toincluded the negative impact of a $57$55 million cash dividend payment that the Association made to the Company, its sole shareholder, in December 2019 that reduced the Association's Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio by an estimated 39 basis points.2020. Because of its intercompany nature, this dividend payment did not impact the Company's consolidated capital ratios which are reported in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Item 2. We expect to continue to remain a well capitalized institution.
In managing its level of liquidity, the Company monitors available funding sources, which include attracting new deposits (including brokered CDs), borrowings from others, the conversion of assets to cash and the generation of funds through

profitable operations. The Company has traditionally relied on retail deposits as its primary means in meeting its funding needs. At June 30, 2020,2021, deposits totaled $9.23$9.15 billion (including $553.9$530.9 million of brokered CDs), while borrowings totaled $3.76$3.14 billion and borrowers’ advances and servicing escrows totaled $134.3$93.8 million, combined. In evaluating funding sources, we consider many factors, including cost, collateral, duration and optionality, current availability, expected sustainability, impact on operations and capital levels.
To attract deposits, we offer our customers attractive rates of interest on our deposit products. Our deposit products typically offer rates that are highly competitive with the rates on similar products offered by other financial institutions. We intend to continue this practice, subject to market conditions.
We preserve the availability of alternative funding sources through various mechanisms. First, by maintaining high capital levels, we retain the flexibility to increase our balance sheet size without jeopardizing our capital adequacy. Effectively, this permits us to increase the rates that we offer on our deposit products thereby attracting more potential customers. Second, we pledge available real estate mortgage loans and investment securities with the FHLB of Cincinnati and the FRB-Cleveland. At June 30, 2020,2021, these collateral pledge support arrangements provided the Association with the ability to immediately borrow an additional $13.6 milliona maximum of $7.35 billion from the FHLB of Cincinnati and $393.3$274.2 million from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window. From the perspective of collateral value securing FHLB of Cincinnati advances, our capacity limit for additional borrowings beyond the balance outstanding at June 30, 20202021 was $4.22 billion, subject to satisfaction of the FHLB of Cincinnati common stock ownership requirement. To satisfy the common stock ownership requirement for the maximum limit of borrowing, we would need to increase our ownership of FHLB of Cincinnati common stock by an additional $189.3 million.$4.21 billion. Third, we have the ability to purchase overnight Fed Funds up to $200$360 million through various arrangements with other institutions. Fourth, we invest in high quality marketable securities that exhibit limited market price variability, and to the extent that they are not needed as collateral for borrowings, can be sold in the institutional market and converted to cash. At June 30, 2020,2021, our investment securities portfolio totaled $514.3$419.4 million. Finally, cash flows from operating activities have been a regular source of funds. During the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, cash flows from operations provided $91.4$121.4 million and $72.6$91.4 million, respectively.

First mortgage loans (primarily fixed-rate, mortgage refinances with terms of 15 years or more, and Home Ready) originated under Fannie Mae compliant procedures are eligible for sale to Fannie Mae either as whole loans or within mortgage-backed securities. We expect that certain loan types (i.e. our Smart Rate adjustable-rate loans, home purchase fixed-rate loans and 10-year fixed-rate loans) will continue to be originated under our legacy procedures, which are not eligible for sale to Fannie Mae. For loans that are not originated under Fannie Mae procedures, the Association’s ability to reduce interest rate risk via loan sales is limited to those loans that have established payment histories, strong borrower credit profiles and are supported by adequate collateral values that meet the requirements of the FHLB's Mortgage Purchase Program or of private third-party investors. At June 30, 2020, $51.1 millionRefer to the Liquidity and Capital Resourcessection of agency eligible, long-term, fixed-rate first mortgage loans were classified as “heldthe Overview for sale.” During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the principal balance of loans sold to Fannie Mae included $42.9 million of agency-compliant Home Ready loans (including $3.2 million in contracts pending settlement) and $369.7 million of long-term, fixed-rate, agency-compliant, non-Home Ready first mortgage loans (including $40.0 million in contracts pending settlement). Additionally, $225.6 million of fixed-rate loans were sold to private investors.information on loan sales.
Overall, while customer and community confidence can never be assured, the Company believes that its liquidity is adequate and that it has access to adequate alternative funding sources.
Monitoring and Controlling Our Operating Expenses. We continue to focus on managing operating expenses. Our ratio of annualized non-interest expense to average assets was 1.36% for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 1.27% for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 1.40% for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020. As of June 30, 2020,2021, our average assets per full-time employee and our average deposits per full-time employee were $14.7$14.4 million and $9.1$9.3 million, respectively. We believe that each of these measures compares favorably with industry averages. Our relatively high average of deposits (exclusive of brokered CDs) held at our branch offices ($234.5233.0 million per branch office as of June 30, 2020)2021) contributes to our expense management efforts by limiting the overhead costs of serving our customers. We will continue our efforts to control operating expenses as we grow our business.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that involve significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially give rise to materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition and results of operations depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are our policies with respect to our allowance for loancredit losses, income taxes and pension benefits.
Allowance for LoanCredit Losses. We provide for loancredit losses based on the allowance method.a life of loan methodology. Accordingly, all loancredit losses are charged to, and all recoveries are credited to, the related allowance. Additions to the allowance for loancredit losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in our judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating probablelife of credit losses. We regularly review the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposures and make provisions (or recapture credits)releases) for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loancredit losses in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company adopted CECL guidance ASC Topic 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses on October 1, 2020. Refer to Note 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES of the NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for further discussion on CECL methodology. Our allowance for loancredit losses consists of twothree components:
(1)individual valuation allowances (IVAs) established for any impaired loans dependent on cash flows, such as performing TDRs, and before CECL on loans individually reviewed that represents further deterioration in the fair value of the collateral not yet identified as uncollectible; and
(2)general valuation allowances (GVAs), for loans, which are comprised of quantitative GVAs, which are general allowances for loancredit losses for each loan type based on historical loan loss experience and qualitative GVAs, which are adjustments to the quantitative GVAs, maintained to cover uncertainties that affect our estimate of incurred probableexpected credit losses for each loan type.type; and
(3)GVAs for off-balance sheet credit exposures, which are comprised of expected lifetime losses on unfunded loan commitments to extend credit where the obligations are not unconditionally cancellable.
The qualitative GVAs expand our ability to identify and estimate probable losses and are based on our evaluation of the following factors, some of which are consistent with factors that impact the determination of quantitative GVAs. For example, delinquency statistics (both current and historical) are used in developing the quantitative GVAs while the trending of the delinquency statistics is considered and evaluated in the determination of the qualitative GVAs. Factors impacting the determination of qualitative GVAs include:
changes in lending policies and procedures including underwriting standards, collection, charge-off or recovery practices;
management's view of changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and trends including treasury yields, housing market factors and trends, such as the status of loans in foreclosure, real estate in judgment and real estate owned, and unemployment statistics and trends;trends and how it aligns with economic modeling forecasts;
changes in the nature and volume of the portfolios including home equity lines of credit nearing the end of the draw period and adjustable-rate mortgage loans nearing a rate reset;
changes in the experience, ability or depth of lending management;
changes in the volume or severity of past due loans, volume of non-accrual loans, or the volume and severity of adversely classified loans including the trending of delinquency statistics (both current and historical), historical loan loss experience and trends, the frequency and magnitude of multiple restructurings of loans previously the subject of TDRs, and uncertainty surrounding borrowers’ ability to recover from temporary hardships for which short-term loan restructurings are granted;
changes in the quality of the loan review system;
changes in the value of the underlying collateral including asset disposition loss statistics (both current and historical) and the trending of those statistics, and additional charge-offs and recoveries on individually reviewed loans;
existence of any concentrations of credit; and
effect of other external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, competition, market interest rate changes or legal and regulatory requirements including market conditions and regulatory directives that impact the entire financial services industry.industry; and
limitations within our models to predict life of loan net losses.
As of June 30, 2020 certain2021, some of our borrowers have experienced unemployment or reduced income as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic and have requested some type of loan payment forbearance. We began offering short-term

At June 30, 2020, the severity of the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic on economic and housing markets and on borrower performance within our loan portfolios remains highly uncertain and, due to its recent onset, is not fully captured within our historical loan loss experience from which the quantitative portion of our allowance for loan losses is derived. Therefore, it was necessary to qualitatively assess our best estimate of probable losses related to the current economic environment heavily influenced by COVID-19. A thorough analysis was conducted, during which we considered, among other things, current and forecast unemployment rates, deterioration in housing indices, risk characteristics of accounts in COVID-19 forbearance plans, specific potential exposures within our loan portfolios and loss experience from previous recessions. At June 30, 2020, our allowance for loan losses totaled $45.6 million and included a qualitative component of $24.2 million, the majority of which is the result of the COVID-19 analysis.NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
When loan restructurings qualify as TDRs and the loans are performing according to the terms of the restructuring, we record an IVA based on the present value of expected future cash flows, which includes a factor for potential subsequent defaults, discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan contract. Potential defaults are distinguished from multiple restructurings as borrowers who default are generally not eligible for subsequent restructurings. At June 30, 2020,2021, the balance of such individual valuation allowances was $12.9were $12.3 million. In instances when loans require multiple restructurings, additional valuation allowances may be required. The new valuation allowance on a loan that has multiple restructurings is calculated based on the present value of the expected cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate of the original loan contract, considering the new terms of the restructured agreement. Due to the immaterial amount of this exposure to date, we continue to capture this exposure as a component of our qualitative GVA evaluation. The significance of this exposure will be monitored and, if warranted, we will enhance our loan loss methodology to include a new default factor (developed to reflectevaluation as the estimated impactchange in the present value of cash flows on restructurings expected to the balance of the allowance for loan losses that will occur as a result of subsequent future restructurings) that will be assessed against all loans reviewed collectively. If new default factors are implemented, the qualitative GVA methodology will be adjusted to preclude duplicative loss consideration.subsequently restructure based on historical activity.
Home equity loans and lines of credit generally have higher credit risk than traditional residential mortgage loans. These loans and credit lines are usually in a second lien position and when combined with the first mortgage, result in generally higher overall loan-to-value ratios. In a stressed housing market with high delinquencies and decreasing housing prices, these higher loan-to-value ratios represent a greater risk of loss to the Company. A borrower with more equity in the property has a vested interest in keeping the loan current when compared to a borrower with little or no equity in the property. In light of the past weakness in the housing market and uncertainty with respect to future employment levels and economic prospects, we conduct an expanded loan level evaluation of our home equity loans and lines of credit, including bridge loans used to aid borrowers in buying a new home before selling their old one, which are delinquent 90 days or more. This expanded evaluation is in addition to our traditional evaluation procedures. ConsideringAs part of the review process and our suspension program, noadoption of CECL on October 1, 2020, we have established an allowance is deemed necessary for our unfunded commitments on this portfolio.portfolio, which is recorded in other liabilities. Our home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio continuescontinue to comprise a significant portion of our gross charge-offs. At June 30, 2020,2021, we had a recorded investmentan amortized cost of $2.31$2.19 billion in home equity loans and equity lines of credit outstanding, of which $5.5$4.6 million, or 0.2% were delinquent 90 days or more.
Through the Home Today program, the Company provided the majority of loans to borrowers who would not otherwise qualify for the Company’s loan products, generally because of low credit scores. Because the Company applied less stringent underwriting and credit standards to the majority of Home Today loans, loans originated under the program have greater credit risk than its traditional residential real estate mortgage loans in the Residential Core portfolio. Since loans are no longer originated under the Home Today program, the Home Today portfolio will continue to decline in balance, primarily due to contractual amortization. To supplant the Home Today product and to continue to meet the credit needs of customers and the communities served, since fiscal 2016 the Company has offered Fannie Mae eligible, Home Ready loans. These loans are originated in accordance with Fannie Mae's underwriting standards. While the Company retains the servicing to these loans, generally the loans, along with the credit risk associated therewith, are securitized/sold to Fannie Mae. The Company does not offer, and has not offered, loan products frequently considered to be designed to target sub-prime borrowers containing features such as higher fees or higher rates, negative amortization, an LTV ratio greater than 100%, or pay-option adjustable-rate mortgages.
We evaluate the allowance for loancredit losses based upon the combined total of the quantitative and qualitative GVAs and IVAs. We periodically evaluate the carrying value of loans and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While we use the best information available to make evaluations, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on unforeseen changes in loan quality and economic conditions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020,2021, the total allowance for loancredit losses increased $1.2 million, to $45.6 millionremained the same from $44.4 million at March 31, 2020,2021 at $89.7 million, as we recorded no provision for loana $1.0 million release of credit losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2020,2021, we recorded net recoveries of $1.2$1.0 million. The allowance for loan losses related to loans evaluated collectively increased by $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, and the allowance for loan losses related to loans evaluated individually moderately decreased. Refer to the "Activity in the Allowance for LoanCredit Losses" and "Analysis of the Allowance for LoanCredit Losses" tables in NoteNote 4 4.

Because many variables are considered in determining the appropriate level of general valuation allowances, directional changes in individual considerations do not always align with the directional change in the balance of a particular component of the general valuation allowance. Changes during the three months ended June 30, 2021 in the allowance for credit loss balances of loans are described below. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet increased by $1.3 million primarily related to an increase in equity commitments to originate. Other than the less significant construction and other loans segments, changes during the three months ended June 30, 2020 in the balances of the GVAs, excluding changes in IVAs, related to the significant loan segments are described as follows:

Residential Core – The recorded investmentamortized cost of this segment decreased 1.5%1.0%, or $163.1$102.7 million, and its total allowance increased 13.0%decreased 1.0% or $2.3 million. The portion$0.5 million as of allowance for this segment that was determined by evaluating groups of loans collectively (i.e. those loans that were not individually evaluated), increased $2.5June 30, 2021 as compared to March 31, 2021. Total delinquencies decreased 6.4% to $15.3 million or 24.8%,at June 30, 2021 from $10.3$16.3 million at March 31, 2020, to $12.8 million at June 30, 2020. The ratio of this portion of the allowance to the total balance of loans in this segment that were evaluated collectively, increased 0.03% to 0.12% at June 30, 2020 from 0.09% at March 31, 2020. Total delinquencies increased 1.3% to $17.8 million at June 30, 2020 from $17.6 million at March 31, 2020.2021. Delinquencies greater than 90 days increaseddecreased by 8.2%12.4% to $9.8$10.0 million at June 30, 20202021 from $9.1$11.4 million at March 31, 2020. There2021. As forbearance plans expire, those borrowers that do not enter subsequent workout plans or repay the deferred amounts in full are reported as 90 days or more past due. Net charge-offs were $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 and net recoveries ofwere $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 compared2020. Economic forecasts continued to net charge-offs of $2 thousand during theshow improvements this quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Residential Home Today – The recorded investmentamortized cost of this segment decreased 2.8%3.9%, or $2.7 million, as we are no longer originating loans under the Home Today program. The total allowanceexpected net recovery position for this segment increaseddecreased to $5.5$0.3 million at June 30, 2020,2021, from $5.1$0.7 million at March 31, 2020. Similarly,2021. Total delinquencies increased 7.7% to $4.0 million at June 30, 2021 from $3.7 million at March 31, 2021. Delinquencies greater than 90 days increased 6.3% to $2.0 million from $1.9 million at March 31, 2021. There were net recoveries of $0.6 million recorded during the portion of allowance that was determined by evaluating groups of loans collectively increased to $3.2current quarter and net recoveries $0.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, from $2.6 million at March 31, 2020. The ratio of this portion of the allowance to the total balance of loans in this segment that were evaluated collectively, increased to 7.6% at June 30, 2020 from 6.0% at March 31, 2020. Total delinquencies decreased to $4.8 million at June 30, 2020 from $6.6 million at March 31, 2020. Delinquencies greater than 90 days decreased 11.8% to $2.5 million from $2.8 million at March 31, 2020. There were net recoveries of $0.5 million recorded during the current quarter compared to net recoveries of $0.1 million recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. This allowance increased only slightly, reflecting increased COVID-19 exposure, but was tempered based onreflects not only the generally declining portfolio balance, but also on the credit profile trends in this portfolio. Risk remains based onlower historical loss rates applied to the generally less stringent credit requirements that were in place atremaining balance and the time that these borrowers qualifiedhigher expected recoveries related to the loans as they age. Under the CECL methodology, the life of loan concept allows for their loans.qualitative adjustments for the expected future recoveries of previously charged-off loans which is driving the current allowance balance for Home Today loans negative.
Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit – The recorded investmentamortized cost of this segment decreased 1.4%increased 0.8%, or $32.5$18.1 million, to $2.31$2.19 billion at June 30, 20202021 from $2.34$2.17 billion at March 31, 2020.2021. The total allowance for this segment decreased 7.0%by 4.9% to $20.4$20.2 million from $21.9$21.2 million at March 31, 2020. During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the portion of allowance for this segment that was determined by evaluating groups of loans collectively, decreased by $1.2 million, or 6.7%, from $17.8 million to $16.6 million. The ratio of this portion of the allowance to the total balance of loans in this segment that were evaluated collectively decreased 0.04% to 0.73% at June 30, 2020 from 0.77% at March 31, 2020.2021. Total delinquencies for this portfolio segment decreased 5.6%10.9% to $8.8$6.2 million at June 30, 20202021 as compared to $9.3$7.0 million at March 31, 2020.2021.

Similar to the Core segment above, as forbearance plans expire, those borrowers that do not enter subsequent workout plans or repay the deferred amounts in full are reported as 90 days or more past due. Net recoveries for this loan segment during the current quarter were lessslightly more at $0.6$0.8 million as compared to $0.9$0.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. While there were some improvements2020. Economic forecasts continued to show improvement this quarter, and as a result, the allowance decreased. Partially offsetting the decrease was maintaining an allowance level determined using recent gross charge-off experience in the credit metrics of this portfolio during the quarter, the elevated allowance for this loan segment reflects our considerationper management's view of the potentially adverse impact from the COVID-19 outbreak.future.

(3)There are no remaining principal balances of home equity lines of credit for years 2011 and 2012. Those years are excluded from the table above.
In general, the home equity line of credit product originated prior to June 2010 was characterized by a ten year draw period followed by a ten year repayment period; however, there were two types of transactions that could result in a draw period that extended beyond ten years. The first transaction involved customer requests for increases in the amount of their home equity line of credit. When the customer’s credit performance and profile supported the increase, the draw period term was reset for the ten year period following the date of the increase in the home equity line of credit amount. A second transaction that impacted the draw period involved extensions. If the account and customer met certain pre-established criteria, an offer was made to extend the otherwise expiring draw period by ten years from the date of the offer. If the customer chose to accept the extension, the origination date of the account remained unchanged but the account would have a revised draw period that was extended by ten years. As a result of these two programs, the reported draw periods for certain home equity lines of credit accounts exceeded ten years.

The gross interest income that would have been recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and June 30, 20192020 on non-accrual loans, if they had been accruing during the entire period and TDRs if they had been current and performing in accordance with their original terms during the entire period, was $6.0$5.4 million and $6.8$6.0 million, respectively. The interest income recognized on those loans included in net income for the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and June 30, 20192020 was $3.3 million and $3.7 million, and $4.1 million, respectively. At June 30, 2020, the balance of accrued interest receivable includes $2.0 million of unpaid interest on active COVID-19 forbearance plans.
The recorded investmentamortized cost of impairedcollateral-dependent loans includes accruing TDRs and loans that are returned to accrual status when contractual payments are less than 90 days past due. These loans continue to be individually evaluated for impairmentbased on collateral until, at a minimum, contractual payments are less than 30 days past due. Also, the recorded investmentamortized cost of non-accrual loans includes loans that are not included in the recorded investmentamortized cost of impairedcollateral-dependent loans because they are included in loans collectively evaluated for impairment.credit losses.
The table below sets forth a reconciliation of the recorded investmentsamortized costs and categories between non-accrual loans and collateral-dependent loans at the dates indicated. The increase in other accruing collateral-dependent loans is primarily related to forbearance plans being extended past 12 months.

In response to the economic challenges facing many borrowers, we continue to restructure loans. Loan restructuring is a method used to help families keep their homes and preserve our neighborhoods. This involves making changes to the borrowers' loan terms through interest rate reductions, either for a specific period or for the remaining term of the loan; term extensions including those beyond that provided in the original agreement; principal forgiveness; capitalization of delinquent payments in special situations; or some combination of the above. Loans discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy are also reported as TDRs per OCC interpretive guidance. For discussion on impairmentTDR measurement, see NoteNote 4 to the Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements: 4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCEALLOWANCES FOR LOANCREDIT LOSSESof the NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. We had $143.2$131.5 million of TDRs (accrual and non-accrual) recorded at June 30, 2020.2021. This was a decrease in the recorded investmentamortized cost of TDRs of $5.1$3.2 million, $14.2$9.8 million and $17.5$11.7 million from March 31, 2020,2021, September 30, 20192020 and June 30, 2019,2020, respectively.

The following table sets forth the recorded investmentamortized cost in accrual and non-accrual TDRs, by the types of concessions granted, as of June 30, 2020.2021. Initial concessions granted by loans restructured as TDRs can include reduction of interest rate, extension of amortization period, forbearance or other actions. Some TDRs have experienced a combination of concessions. TDRs also can occur as a result of bankruptcy proceedings. Loans discharged in Chapter 7 bankruptcy are classified as multiple restructurings if the loan's original terms had also been restructured by the Company.

TDRs in accrual status are loans accruing interest and performing according to the terms of the restructuring. To be performing, a loan must be less than 90 days past due as of the report date. Non-accrual, performing status indicates that a loan was not accruing interest or in a forbearance plan at the time of restructuring, continues to not accrue interest and is performing according to the terms

of the restructuring, but has not been current for at least six consecutive months since its restructuring, has a partial charge-off, or is being classified as non-accrual per the OCC guidance on loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status, where all borrowers have filed and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed. Non-accrual, non-performing status includes loans that are not accruing interest because they are greater than 90 days past due and therefore not performing according to the terms of the restructuring.
Income Taxes. We consider accountingAccounting for income taxes is considered a critical accounting policy due to the subjective nature of certain estimates, including the impact of tax rate changes, such as those implemented by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act signed into law in December 2017, and the impact of other tax law changes, such as those implemented by the CARES Act signed into law in March, 2020, that are involved in the calculation. We use the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities. We must assess the realization of the deferred tax asset and, to the extent that we believe that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Adjustments to increase or decrease existing valuation allowances, if any, are charged or credited, respectively, to income tax expense. At June 30, 2020,2021, no valuation allowances were outstanding. Even though we have determined a valuation allowance is not required for deferred tax assets at June 30, 2020,2021, there is no guarantee that those assets, if any, will be recognizable in the future.
Pension Benefits. The determination of our obligations and expense for pension benefits is dependent upon certain assumptions used in calculating such amounts. Key assumptions used in the actuarial valuations include the discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Actual results could differ from the assumptions and market driven rates may

fluctuate. Significant differences in actual experience or significant changes in the assumptions could materially affect future pension obligations and expense.

Funding costs were lowered through a reduction in the average balance of borrowed funds, including the early termination of above-market priced FHLB advances and their related swap contracts during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Also, cash provided by loan sales and loan principal repayments were used to pay down $400 million of scheduled maturing advances during the current fiscal year.

Provision (Credit)(Release) for LoanCredit Losses. We recorded a provisionrelease of the allowance for loancredit losses on loans and off-balance sheet exposures of $3.0$7.0 million during the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 and a $8.0$3.0 million creditprovision for loancredit losses during the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020.

Releases from the allowance for credit losses during the current year reflected improvements in the economic metrics used to forecast losses for the reasonable and supportable period and decreases in pandemic forbearance balances, as well as adjusting for the level of net loan recoveries recorded during the period. On October 1, 2020, the Company adopted the CECL methodology and recognized a $46.2 million increase to the allowance for credit losses and a related $35.8 million reduction to retained earnings, net of tax. Gross loan charge-offs were $3.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and $4.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2020, while loan recoveries were $7.5 million in the current nine months reflectedand $7.8 million in the prior fiscal year period. The allowance for credit losses was $89.7 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $45.6 million at June 30, 2020. Under the CECL methodology, the allowance for credits losses at June 30, 2021 included a $23.3 million liability for unfunded commitments, primarily undrawn equity lines of credit commitments. There was no liability for unfunded commitments at June 30, 2020. Our analysis of the allowance for credit losses under CECL addresses the preliminary economic impact from the COVID-19 outbreak that has led to increased unemployment and deterioration in the overall macro-economic environment. We continue to monitor the effect unemployment willis expected to have on our borrowers and the broader market, including the expected longer term impact to the relative values of residential properties. As delinquencies in the portfolio have been resolved through pay-off, short sale or foreclosure, or management determines the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the loan balance, uncollected balances have been charged against the allowance for loancredit losses previously provided. The provision for loan losses recorded for the current nine months resulted in an increase in the balance of the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses was $45.6 million, or 0.34% of the total recorded investment in loans receivable, at June 30, 2020, compared to $39.3 million, or 0.30% of the total recorded investment in loans receivable, at June 30, 2019.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $21.5$10.4 million, or 147%29%, to $46.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $36.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $14.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $15.8an $11.9 million increase in the net gain on sale of loans and a $2.2 million increase in income from bank owned life insurance contracts during the most recent nine months. This increase was mainly due to anmonths, partially offset by a decrease in other income. The increase in activitynet gain on the sale of loans was generally attributable to higher market pricing on loan delivery contracts settled during the current fiscal year, as there were loan sales of $634.0 million, including commitments to sell, during the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared to loan sales of $638.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. A $4.3 million net gain on the one time sale of commercial property recognized during the nine months ended June 30, 2020, comparedcaused the decrease in other income during the current period.

The provision for the current nine months included $12.4$14.2 million of federal income tax provision and $1.5$1.3 million of state income tax provision. The provision for the nine months ended June 30, 20192020 included $15.2$12.3 million of federal income tax provision and $1.3$1.5 million of state income tax provision. Our effective federal tax rate was 18.1% during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 and 15.0% during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 20.5% during the nine months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in our federal effective rate is due to the impact of the CARES Act, which permits a carry back of net tax operating losses to years taxed at higher rates, resulting in a current period tax benefit of $3.6 million.2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, borrowings from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window, overnight Fed Funds through various arrangements with other institutions, proceeds from brokered CDs transactions, principal repayments and maturities of securities, and sales of loans.
In addition to the primary sources of funds described above, we have the ability to obtain funds through the use of collateralized borrowings in the wholesale markets and from sales of securities. Also, debt issuance by the Company and access to the equity capital markets via a supplemental minority stock offering or a full conversion (second-step) transaction remain as other potential sources of liquidity, although these channels generally require up to nine months of lead time.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Association’s Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We generally seek to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio of 5% (which we compute as the sum of cash and cash equivalents plus unencumbered investment securities for which ready markets exist, divided by total assets). For the three months ended June 30, 2020,2021, our liquidity ratio averaged 5.41%7.43%. We believe that we had sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2020.2021.
We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, scheduled liability maturities and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are generally invested in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2020,2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled $329.3$580.1 million, which represented an increase of 20%16.5% from September 30, 2019.2020.
Investment securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $514.3$419.4 million at June 30, 2020.2021.
During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2020,2021, loan sales totaled $638.2$634.0 million, which includes $225.6 million to private investors and sales to Fannie Mae, consisting of $369.7$593.0 million of long-term, fixed-rate, agency-compliant, and non-Home Ready first mortgage loans and $42.9$41.0 million of loans that qualified under Fannie Mae's Home Ready initiative. Additionally, $43.2initiative (including $0.1 million of principal balances included in loan sales are contracts pending settlement at June 30, 2020.settlement). Loans originated under the Home Ready initiative are classified as “held for sale” at origination. Loans originated under non-Home Ready, Fannie Mae compliant procedures are classified as “held for investment” until they are specifically identified for sale.
At June 30, 2020, $51.12021, $6.9 million of long-term, fixed-rate residential first mortgage loans were classified as “held for sale,” of which $45.2$0.1 million were loan sale commitments outstanding at June 30, 20202021 and $5.9$6.8 million were qualified under Fannie Mae's Home Ready initiative and not yet committed for sale.
Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash FlowsCONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS (unaudited) included in the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements.UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
At June 30, 2020,2021, we had $885.4$862.1 million in outstanding commitments to originate loans. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $2.51$3.02 billion in unfunded home equity lines of credit to borrowers. CDs due within one year of June 30, 20202021 totaled $3.27$3.63 billion, or 35.5%39.6% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other

sources of funds, including loan sales, sales of investment securities, other deposit products, including new CDs, brokered CDs, FHLB advances, borrowings from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window or other collateralized borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the CDs due on or before June 30, 2021.2022. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. Generally, we have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities are originating residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and purchasing investments. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, we originated $2.91 billion of residential mortgage loans, and $1.23 billion of commitments for home equity loans and lines of credit, while during the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we originated $2.20 billion of residential mortgage loans and $1.07 billion of commitments for home equity loans and lines of credit, while during the nine months ended June 30, 2019, we originated $1.17 billion of residential mortgage loans and $1.28 billion of commitments for home equity loans and lines of credit. Also during the nine months ended June 30, 2020, we purchased $230.3 million of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans, which were originated and serviced by the Association and sold to an investor in a prior year. We purchased $133.7$229.9 million of securities during the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, and $121.8$133.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020.
Financing activities consist primarily of changes in deposit accounts, changes in the balances of principal and interest owed on loans serviced for others, FHLB advances, including any collateral requirements related to interest rate swap agreements and borrowings from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window. We experienced a net increasedecrease in total deposits of $463.7$74.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, which reflected the active management of the offered rates on maturing CDs, compared to a net increase of $222.9$463.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, there was a $46.1$23.0 million increasedecrease in the balance of brokered CDs (exclusive of acquisition costs and subsequent amortization), which had a balance of $553.9$530.9 million at June 30, 2020.2021. At June 30, 20192020 the balance of brokered CDs was $518.8$553.9 million. Principal and interest owed on loans serviced for others experienced a net decrease of $18.2 million to $27.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net increase of $10.3 million to $43.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a net

decrease of $12.3 million to $19.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020. During the nine months ended June 30, 20202021 we decreased our advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati by $143.8$379.0 million utilizing deposit increases and proceeds from loan sales. During the nine months ended June 30, 2019,2020, our advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati increaseddecreased by $111.9$143.8 million.
In March 2021, we received a second consecutive “Needs to Improve” rating on our Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) examination covering the period ending December 31, 2019. The FHFA practice is to place member institutions in this situation on restriction. When this restriction is established, we will not have access to FHLB long-term advances (maturities greater than one year) until our rating improves. However, we have not received notice of this restriction as of August 5, 2021. Existing advances and future advances with less than a one year term, including 90 day advances used to facilitate longer term interest rate swap agreements, will not be affected. We expect no impact to our ability to access funding.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB of Cincinnati and the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window, each of which provides an additional source of funds. Also, in evaluating funding alternatives, we may participate in the brokered CD market. At June 30, 20202021 we had $3.76$3.14 billion of FHLB of Cincinnati advances and no outstanding borrowings from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window. Additionally, at June 30, 2020,2021, we had $553.9$530.9 million of brokered CDs. During the nine months ended June 30, 2020,2021, we had average outstanding advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati of $3.83$3.36 billion as compared to average outstanding advances of $3.60$3.83 billion during the nine months ended June 30, 2019.2020. Refer to the Extending the Duration of Funding Sources section of the Overview and the General section of Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk for further discussion. At June 30, 2020,2021, we had the ability to immediately borrow an additional $13.6 milliona maximum of $7.35 billion from the FHLB of Cincinnati and $393.3$274.2 million from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window. From the perspective of collateral value securing FHLB of Cincinnati advances, our capacity limit for collateral based additional borrowings beyond the outstanding balance at June 30, 20202021 was $4.22$4.21 billion, subject to satisfaction of the FHLB of Cincinnati common stock ownership requirement. To satisfy the common stock ownership requirement for the maximum limit of borrowing, we would have to increase our ownership of FHLB of Cincinnati common stock by an additional $189.3 million.

The Association and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations ("Basel III Rules") includes both a revised definition of capital and guidelines for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. In April 2020, the Association adopted the Simplifications to the Capital Rule ("Rule") which simplified certain aspects of the capital rule under Basil III. The impact of the Rule was not material to the Association’s regulatory ratios.

In 2019, a final rule adopted by the federal banking agencies provided banking organizations with the option to phase in, over a three-year period, the adverse day-one regulatory capital effects of the adoption of the CECL accounting standard. In 2020, as part of its response to the impact of COVID-19, U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued a final rule which provides banking organizations that implement CECL during the 2020 calendar year the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL’s effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology’s effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period, which the Association and Company have adopted. During the two-year delay, the Association and Company will add back to common equity tier 1 capital (“CET1”) 100% of the initial adoption impact of CECL plus 25% of the cumulative quarterly changes in the allowance for credit losses. After two years the quarterly transitional amounts along with the initial adoption impact of CECL will be phased out of CET1 capital over the three-year period.

The Association is subject to the "capital conservation buffer" requirement level of 2.5%. The requirement limits capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a "capital conservation buffer" in addition to the minimum capital requirements. At June 30, 2020,2021, the Association exceeded the regulatory requirement for the "capital conservation buffer".

In addition to the operational liquidity considerations described above, which are primarily those of the Association, the Company, as a separate legal entity, also monitors and manages its own, parent company-only liquidity, which provides the source of funds necessary to support all of the parent company's stand-alone operations, including its capital distribution strategies which encompass its share repurchase and dividend payment programs. The Company's primary source of liquidity is dividends received from the Association. The amount of dividends that the Association may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the OCC but with prior notice to the FRB-Cleveland, cannot exceed net income for the current calendar year-to-date period plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years, reduced by prior dividend payments made during those periods. In December 2019,2020, the Company received a

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk has historically been interest rate risk. In general, our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati. As a result, a fundamental component of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established risk parameter limits deemed appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives. Additionally, our Board of Directors has authorized the formation of an Asset/Liability Management Committee comprised of key operating personnel, which is responsible for managing this risk in a matter that is consistent with the guidelines and risk limits approved by the Board of Directors. Further, the Board has established the Directors Risk Committee, which, among other responsibilities, conducts regular oversight and review of the guidelines, policies and deliberations of the Asset/Liability Management Committee. We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to control the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset-liability management, we use the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
(i)marketing adjustable-rate and shorter-maturity (10-year, fixed-rate mortgage) loan products;
(ii)lengthening the weighted average remaining term of major funding sources, primarily by offering attractive interest rates on deposit products, particularly longer-term certificates of deposit, and through the use of longer-term advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati (or shorter-term advances converted to longer-term durations via the use of interest rate exchange contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges) and longer-term brokered certificates of deposit;
(iii)investing in shorter- to medium-term investments and mortgage-backed securities;
(iv)maintaining the levels of capital required for "well capitalized" designation; and
(v)securitizing and/or selling long-term, fixed-rate residential real estate mortgage loans.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2020, $412.62021, $634.0 million of agency-compliant, long-term (15 to 30 years), fixed-rate mortgage loans were sold, or committed to be sold, to Fannie Mae on a servicing retained basis. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 30, 2020, $225.6 million of fixed-rate loans were sold, on a servicing retained basis to private investors. At June 30, 2020, $51.12021, $6.9 million of agency-compliant, long-term, fixed-rate residential first mortgage loans were classified as “held for sale.” Of the agency-compliant loan sales during the nine months ended June 30, 2020, $42.92021, $41.0 million was comprised of long-term (15 to 30 years),
70

Table of Contents

fixed-rate first mortgage loans which were sold under Fannie Mae's Home Ready program, and $369.7$593.0 million was comprised of long-term (15 to 30 years), fixed-rate first mortgage refinance loans which were sold to Fannie Mae, as described in the next paragraph. At June 30, 2020,2021, the principal balance of loan sales included $43.2$0.1 million in contracts pending settlement.
First mortgage loans (primarily fixed-rate, mortgage refinances with terms of 15 years or more, and Home Ready) are originated under Fannie Mae procedures and are eligible for sale to Fannie Mae either as whole loans or within mortgage-backed securities. We expect that certain loan types (i.e. our Smart Rate adjustable-rate loans, home purchase fixed-rate loans and 10-year fixed-rate loans) will continue to be originated under our legacy procedures, which are not eligible for sale to Fannie Mae. For loans that are not originated under Fannie Mae procedures, the Association’s ability to reduce interest rate risk via loan sales is limited to those loans that have established payment histories, strong borrower credit profiles and are supported by adequate collateral values that meet the requirements of the FHLB's Mortgage Purchase Program or of private third-party investors.
The Association actively markets equity lines of credit, an adjustable-rate mortgage loan product and a 10-year fixed-rate mortgage loan product. Each of these products provides us with improved interest rate risk characteristics when compared to
72

Table of Contents

longer-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans. Shortening the average maturity of our interest-earning assets by increasing our investments in shorter-term loans and investments, as well as loans and investments with variable rates of interest, helps to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates.
The Association evaluates funding source alternatives as it seeks to extend its liability duration. Extended duration funding sources that are currently considered include: retail certificates of deposit (which, subject to a fee, generally provide depositors with an early withdrawal option, but do not require pledged collateral); brokered certificates of deposit (which generally do not provide an early withdrawal option and do not require collateral pledges); collateralized borrowings which are not subject to creditor call options (generally advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati); and interest rate exchange contracts ("swaps") which are subject to collateral pledges and which require specific structural features to qualify for hedge accounting treatment (hedge accounting treatment directs that periodic mark-to-market adjustments be recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the equity section of the balance sheet rather than being included in operating results of the income statement). The Association's intent is that any swap to which it may be a party will qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The Association attempts to be opportunistic in the timing of its funding duration deliberations and when evaluating alternative funding sources, compares effective interest rates, early withdrawal/call options and collateral requirements.
The Association is a party to interest rate swap agreements. Each of the Association's swap agreements is registered on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and involves the exchange of interest payment amounts based on a notional principal balance. No exchange of principal amounts occur and the notional principal amount does not appear on our balance sheet. The Association uses swaps to extend the duration of its funding sources. In each of the Association's agreements, interest paid is based on a fixed rate of interest throughout the term of each agreement while interest received is based on an interest rate that resets at a specified interval (generally three months) throughout the term of each agreement. On the initiation date of the swap, the agreed upon exchange interest rates reflect market conditions at that point in time. Swaps generally require counterparty collateral pledges that ensure the counterparties' ability to comply with the conditions of the agreement. The notional amount of the Association's swap portfolio at June 30, 20202021 was $3.08$2.58 billion. The swap portfolio's weighted average fixed pay rate was 1.80%1.85% and the weighted average remaining term was 3.32.7 years. Concurrent with the execution of each swap, the Association entered into a short-term borrowing from the FHLB of Cincinnati in an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and with interest rate resets aligned with the reset interval of the swap. Each individual swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable rate borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati.
Economic Value of Equity. Using customized modeling software, the Association prepares periodic estimates of the amounts by which the net present value of its cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (the institution's economic value of equity or EVE) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach in measuring the interest rate sensitivity of EVE. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract under the assumption that instantaneous changes (measured in basis points) occur at all maturities along the United States Treasury yield curve and other relevant market interest rates. A basis point equals one, one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 2% to 3% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. The model is tailored specifically to our organization, which, we believe, improves its predictive accuracy. The following table presents the estimated changes in the Association’s EVE at June 30, 20202021 that would result from the indicated instantaneous changes in the United States Treasury yield curve and other relevant market interest rates. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in measuring interest rate risk through changes in EVE. Modeling changes in EVE require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVE tables presented above assume:
no new growth or business volumes;
that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured, except for reductions to reflect mortgage loan principal repayments along with modeled prepayments and defaults; and
that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities.
Accordingly, although the EVE tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure as of the indicated dates, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our EVE and will differ from actual results. In addition to our core business activities, which primarily sought to originate Smart Rate (adjustable), loans, home equity lines of credit (adjustable) and 10-year fixed-rate loans funded by borrowings from the FHLB and intermediate term CDs (including brokered CDs), and which are intended to have a favorable impact on our IRR profile, the impact of several other items and events resulted in the 9.86% improvement4.23% deterioration in the Percentage Change in EVE measure at June 30, 20202021 when compared to the measure at September 30, 2019.2020. Factors contributing to this improvementdeterioration included changes in market rates, capital actions by the Association assumption and modeling changes, including a change in the software model used, and changes due to business activity. Movement in market interest rates included a decreasean increase of 14712 basis points for the two-year term, a decreasean increase of 12661 basis points for the five-year term and a decreasean increase of 10178 basis points for the ten-year term. Negatively impacting the Percentage Change in EVE was a $57.0$55.0 million cash dividend that the Association

paid to the Company. Because of its intercompany nature, this payment had no impact on the Company's capital position, or the Company's overall IRR profile, but reduced the Association's regulatory capital and regulatory capital ratios and negatively impacted the Association's Percentage Change in EVE by approximately 0.44%0.21%. Additionally, modifications and enhancements to our modeling assumptions and methodologies, as a resultWhile
74

Table of the model software change, impacted the Association's Percentage Change in EVE. While Contents

our core business activities, as described at the beginning of this paragraph, are generally intended to have a positive impact on our IRR profile, the actual impact is determined by a number of factors, including the pace of mortgage asset additions to our balance sheet (including consideration of outstanding commitments to originate those assets) in comparison to the pace of the addition of duration extending funding sources. The IRR simulation results presented above were in line with management's expectations and were within the risk limits established by our Board of Directors.
Our simulation model possesses random patterning capabilities and accommodates extensive regression analytics applicable to the prepayment and decay profiles of our borrower and depositor portfolios. The model facilitates the generation of alternative modeling scenarios and provides us with timely decision making data that is integral to our IRR management processes. Modeling our IRR profile and measuring our IRR exposure are processes that are subject to continuous revision, refinement, modification, enhancement, back testing and validation. We continually evaluate, challenge and update the methodology and assumptions used in our IRR model, including behavioral equations that have been derived based on third-party studies of our customer historical performance patterns. Changes to the methodology and/or assumptions used in the model will result in reported IRR profiles and reported IRR exposures that will be different, and perhaps significantly, from the results reported above.
Earnings at Risk. In addition to EVE calculations, we use our simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in interest rates (the institution’s EaR). Net interest income is the difference between the interest income that we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest that we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. In our model, we estimate what our net interest income would be for prospective 12 and 24 month periods using customized (based on our portfolio characteristics) assumptions with respect to loan prepayment rates, default rates and deposit decay rates, and the implied forward yield curve as of the market date for assumptions as to projected interest rates. We then calculate what the estimated net interest income would be for the same period under numerous interest rate scenarios. The simulation process is subject to continual enhancement, modification, refinement and adaptation, including a new software model implemented during quarter ending December 31, 2019, in order that it might most accurately reflect our current circumstances, factors and expectations. As of June 30, 2020,2021, we estimated that our EaR for the 12 months ending June 30, 20212022 would increase by 3.41%3.98% in the event that market interest rates used in the simulation were adjusted in equal monthly amounts (termed a "ramped" format) during the 12 month measurement period to an aggregate increase in 200 basis points. The Association uses the "ramped" assumption in preparing the EaR simulation estimates for use in its public disclosures. In addition to conforming to predominate industry practice, the Association also believes that the ramped assumption provides a more probable/plausible scenario for net interest income simulations than instantaneous shocks which provide a theoretical analysis but a much less credible economic scenario. The Association continues to calculate instantaneous scenarios, and as of June 30, 2020,2021, we estimated that our EaR for the 12 months ending June 30, 2021,2022, would increase by 3.81%3.17% in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in market interest rates.
Certain shortcomings are also inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in EaR. Modeling changes in EaR require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the interest rate risk information presented above assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although interest rate risk calculations provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results. In addition to the preparation of computations as described above, we also formulate simulations based on a variety of non-linear changes in interest rates and a variety of non-constant balance sheet composition scenarios.
Other Considerations. The EVE and EaR analyses are similar in that they both start with the same month end balance sheet amounts, weighted average coupon and maturity. The underlying prepayment, decay and default assumptions are also the same and they both start with the same month end "markets" (Treasury and Libor yield curves, etc.). From that similar starting point, the models follow divergent paths. EVE is a stochastic model using 100150 different interest rate paths to compute market value at the account level for each of the categories on the balance sheet whereas EaR uses the implied forward curve to compute interest income/expense at the account level for each of the categories on the balance sheet.
EVE is considered as a point in time calculation with a "liquidation" view of the Association where all the cash flows (including interest, principal and prepayments) are modeled and discounted using discount factors derived from the current market yield curves. It provides a long term view and helps to define changes in equity and duration as a result of changes in interest rates. On the other hand, EaR is based on balance sheet projections going one year and two years forward and assumes
73

Table of Contents

new business volume and pricing to calculate net interest income under different interest rate environments. EaR is calculated to determine the sensitivity of net interest income under different interest rate scenarios. With each of these models, specific policy limits have been established that are compared with the actual month end results. These limits have been approved by the Association's Board of Directors and are used as benchmarks to evaluate and moderate interest rate risk. In the event that there
75

Table of Contents

is a breach of policy limits that extends beyond two consecutive quarter end measurement periods, management is responsible for taking such action, similar to those described under the preceding heading of General, as may be necessary in order to return the Association's interest rate risk profile to a position that is in compliance with the policy. At June 30, 2020,2021, the IRR profile as disclosed above was within our internal limits.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated
and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act 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

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II — Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management as of June 30, 2020,2021, the resolution of these legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition toThere have been no material changes in the other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the following risk factor represents material updates and additions to the risk factors"Risk Factors" previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 as filed with the SEC on November 26, 201924, 2020 (File No. 001-33390). Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. Further, to the extent that any of the information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q constitutes forward-looking statements, the risk factor set forth below also is a cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.

The economic impact of the COVID-19 outbreak could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
In December 2019, a coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported in China, and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic. On March 12, 2020, the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States a national emergency. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant economic dislocation in the United States as many state and local governments have ordered non-essential businesses to close and residents to shelter in place at home. This has resulted in an unprecedented slow-down in economic activity and a related increase in unemployment. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, millions of individuals have filed claims for unemployment, and stock markets have declined in value and in particular bank stocks have significantly declined in value. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Federal Reserve has reduced the benchmark fed funds rate to a target range of 0% to 0.25%, and the yields on 10 and 30-year treasury notes have declined to historic lows. Various state governments and federal agencies are requiring lenders to provide forbearance and
74

Table of Contents

other relief to borrowers (e.g., waiving late payment and other fees). The federal banking agencies have encouraged financial institutions to prudently work with affected borrowers and recently passed legislation has provided relief from reporting loan classifications due to modifications related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Finally, the spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices, including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences. We have many employees working remotely and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners.
Given the ongoing and dynamic nature of the circumstances, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be reopened. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;
if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;
collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;
our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income;
the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us.
as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;
a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend,
our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely;
we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; and
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs;

Moreover, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability.
Any one or a combination of the factors identified above could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
(a)Not applicable
(b)Not applicable
(c)We did not repurchase any stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.2021. On October 27, 2016, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved the Company’s eighth stock repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Purchases under the program will be on an ongoing basis and subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses of capital, and our financial performance.
