Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Waterstone Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Company’s subsidiaries.

WaterStone Bank SSB (the "Bank") is a community bank that has served the banking needs of its customers since 1921. WaterStone Bank also has an active mortgage banking subsidiary, Waterstone Mortgage Corporation.

WaterStone Bank conducts its community banking business from 14 banking offices located in Milwaukee, Washington and Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin. WaterStone Bank's principal lending activity is originating one- to four-family, multi-family residential real estate, and commercial real estate loans for retention in its portfolio. WaterStone Bank also offers home equity loans and lines of credit, construction and land loans, commercial business loans, and consumer loans. WaterStone Bank funds its loan production primarily with retail deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Our deposit offerings include: certificates of deposit, money market savings accounts, transaction deposit accounts, non-interest bearing demand accounts and individual retirement accounts. Our investment securities portfolio is comprised principally of mortgage-backed securities, government-sponsored enterprise bonds and municipal obligations.

WaterStone Bank's mortgage banking operations are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Waterstone Mortgage Corporation. Waterstone Mortgage Corporation originates single-family residential real estate loans for sale into the secondary market. Waterstone Mortgage Corporation utilizes lines of credit provided by WaterStone Bank as a primary source of funds, and also utilizes a line of credit with another financial institution as needed.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and the instructions to Form 10-Q. The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and sixmonths ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other period.

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allowance for loan losses, income taxes, and fair value measurements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were issued. There were no significant subsequent events for the three and sixmonths ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 through the issuance date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements that warranted adjustment to or disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASC Topic 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." Authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" amended the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information for credit loss estimates. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The authoritative guidance also requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected (net of the allowance for credit losses). In addition, the credit losses relating to available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than a write-down.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law. It included an option for entities to delay the adoption of ASC Topic 326 until the earlier of the termination date of the national emergency declaration by the President or December 31, 2021. Due to the uncertainty on the economy and unemployment from COVID-19, the Company determined to delay its adoption of ASC Topic 326 and has calculated and recorded its provision for loan losses under the incurred loss model that existed prior to ASC Topic 326. On December 27, 2020, the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act was signed into law. The legislation extended the delay of the adoption of ASC Topic 326 allowed under the CARES Act until the earlier of the first day of the fiscal year that begins after the date when the COVID-19 national emergency is terminated or January 1, 2022.

ASC Topic 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses." Authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 326, "Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures" eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The accounting guidance also requires public business entities to expand the vintage disclosures to include gross charge-offs by year of origination. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2022

The Company adopted ASC Topic 326 on January 1, 2022, and applied the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, as of January 1, 2022 (i.e., modified retrospective approach). Upon adoption of the standard, the Company recorded a $430,000 increase to the allowance for credit losses and $1.4 million increase to the allowance for unfunded commitments which resulted in a $1.4 million after-tax decrease to retained earnings as of January 1, 2022. The tax effect resulted in a $439,000 increase to deferred tax assets.

The Company did not record an allowance for AFS securities on January 1, 2022 as the investment portfolio consists primarily of debt securities explicitly or implicitly backed by the U.S. Government for which credit risk is deemed minimal. The impact going forward will depend on the composition, characteristics, and credit quality of the loan and securities portfolios as well as the economic conditions at future reporting periods. See Note 2 - Securities Available for Sale and Note 3 - Loans Receivable for more information.

The Company reviews the investment securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to monitor securities in unrealized loss positions, which were comprised of ~~131~~ individual securities, to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. In making this evaluation, management considers the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 0 allowance for credit losses on securities was recognized. The Company does not consider its securities with unrealized losses to be attributable to credit-related factors, as the unrealized losses in each category have occurred as a result of changes in noncredit-related factors such as changes in interest rates, market spreads and market conditions subsequent to purchase, not credit deterioration. Furthermore, the Company does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost.

During the three and sixmonths ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, there were 0 sales of securities.

The Company provides several types of loans to its customers, including residential, construction, commercial and consumer loans. Significant loan concentrations are considered to exist for a financial institution when there are amounts loaned to one borrower or to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. While the Company's credit risks are geographically concentrated in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, there are no concentrations with individual or groups of related borrowers. While the real estate collateralizing these loans is primarily residential in nature, it ranges from owner-occupied single family homes to large apartment complexes.

Qualifying loans receivable totaling ~~$845.9~~$776.4 million and $886.7 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, were pledged as collateral against ~~$320.0~~$275.0 million and $475.0 million in outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLB") advances under a blanket security agreement at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Certain of the Company's executive officers, directors, employees, and their related interests have loans with the Bank. Loans outstanding to such parties were approximately ~~$2.3~~$2.7 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $2.5 million as of December 31, 2021. NaN of these loans were past due or considered impaired as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company utilized the Vintage Loss Rate method in determining expected future credit losses. This technique considers losses over the full life cycle of loan pools. A vintage is a group of loans originated in the same annual time period. The loss rate method measures the amount of loan charge–offs, net of recoveries, (“loan losses”) recognized over the life of a pool by loan segment and vintage and compares those loan losses to the original loan balance of that pool as of a similar vintage.

To estimate a CECL loss rate for the pool, management first identifies the loan losses recognized between the pool date and the reporting date for the pool and determines which loan losses were related to loans outstanding at the pool date. The loss rate method then divides the loan losses recognized on loans outstanding as of the pool date by the outstanding loan balance as of the pool date.

The Company’s expected loss estimate is anchored in historical credit loss experience, with an emphasis on all available portfolio data. The Company's historical look–back period includes January 2012 through the current period, on an annual basis. When historical credit loss experience is not sufficient for a specific portfolio, the Company may supplement its own portfolio data with external models or data.

Additionally, the weighted average remaining maturity ("WARM") method is used for the Construction and Consumer loan pools. The WARM method considers an estimate of expected credit losses over the remaining life of the financial assets and uses average annual charge-off rates to estimate the allowance for credit losses. For amortizing assets, the remaining contractual life is adjusted by the expected scheduled payments and prepayments. The average annual charge-off rate is applied to the amortization-adjusted remaining life to determine the unadjusted lifetime historical charge-off rate.

Qualitative reserves reflect management’s overall estimate of the extent to which current expected credit losses on collectively evaluated loans will differ from historical loss experience. The analysis takes into consideration other analytics performed within the organization, such as enterprise and concentration management, along with other credit–related analytics as deemed appropriate. Management attempts to quantify qualitative reserves whenever possible. The CECL methodology applied focuses on evaluation of qualitative and environmental factors, including but not limited to: (i) evaluation of facts and issues related to specific loans; (ii) management’s ongoing review and grading of the loan portfolio; (iii) consideration of historical loan loss and delinquency experience on each portfolio segment; (iv) trends in past due and nonperforming loans; (v) the risk characteristics of the various loan segments; (vi) changes in the size and character of the loan portfolio; (vii) concentrations of loans to specific borrowers or industries; (viii) existing economic conditions; (ix) the fair value of underlying collateral; and (x) other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect expected credit losses.

The Company’s CECL estimate applies a forecast that incorporates macroeconomic trends and other environmental factors. Management utilized national, regional and local leading economic indexes, as well as management judgment, as the basis for the forecast period. The historical loss rate was utilized as the base rate, and qualitative adjustments were utilized to reflect the forecast and other relevant factors.

The Company segments the loan portfolio into pools based on the following risk characteristics: collateral type, credit characteristics, loan origination balance, and outstanding loan balances.

Allowance for Credit Losses-Unfunded Commitments:

In addition to the ACL-Loans, the Company has established an ACL-Unfunded commitments, classified in other liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial condition. This reserve is maintained at a level that management believes is sufficient to absorb losses arising from unfunded loan commitments, and is determined quarterly based on methodology similar to the methodology for determining the ACL-Loans. The allowance for unfunded commitments at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was ~~$1.2~~$1.0 million.

Provision for Credit Losses:

The provision for credit losses is determined by the Company as the amount to be added to the ACL loss accounts for various types of financial instruments including loans, investment securities, and off-balance sheet credit exposures after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the ACL to a level that, in management's judgment, is necessary to absorb expected credit losses over the lives of the respective financial instruments. See Note 2 - Securities Available for Sale for additional information regarding the ACL related to investment securities. The following table presents the components of the provision for credit losses.

Collateral Dependent Loans:

A loan is considered to be collateral dependent when, based upon management's assessment, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. For collateral dependent loans, expected credit losses are based on the estimated fair value of the collateral at the balance sheet date, with consideration for estimated selling costs if satisfaction of the loan depends on the sale of the collateral. The following tables present collateral dependent loans by portfolio segment and collateral type, including those loans with and without a related allowance allocation.

The Company's procedures dictate that an updated valuation must be obtained with respect to underlying collateral at the time a loan is deemed impaired. Updated valuations may also be obtained upon transfer from loans receivable to real estate owned based upon the age of the prior appraisal, changes in market conditions or known changes to the physical condition of the property.

Estimated fair values are reduced to account for sales commissions, broker fees, unpaid property taxes and additional selling expenses to arrive at an estimated net realizable value. The adjustment factor is based upon the Company's actual experience with respect to sales of real estate owned over the prior two years. In situations in which we are placing reliance on an appraisal that is more than one year old, an additional adjustment factor is applied to account for downward market pressure since the date of appraisal. The additional adjustment factor is based upon relevant sales data available for our general operating market as well as company-specific historical net realizable values as compared to the most recent appraisal prior to disposition.

With respect to multi-family income-producing real estate, appraisals are reviewed and estimated collateral values are adjusted by updating significant appraisal assumptions to reflect current real estate market conditions. Significant assumptions reviewed and updated include the capitalization rate, rental income and operating expenses. These adjusted assumptions are based upon recent appraisals received on similar properties as well as on actual experience related to real estate owned and currently under Company management.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company establishes a risk rating at origination for all commercial loan and commercial real estate relationships. For relationships over $1 million, management monitors the loans on an ongoing basis for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service their debt. Management also affirms the risk ratings for the loans in their respective portfolios on an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Watch. Loans classified as watch have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date. Watch assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt and, additionally, the weakness or weaknesses to make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable or improbable. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans.

The following table presents information relating to the Company’s internal risk ratings of its loans receivable as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The short-term repurchase agreement represents the outstanding portion of a total $75.0 million commitment with one unrelated bank as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The short-term repurchase agreement is utilized by Waterstone Mortgage Corporation to finance loans originated for sale. This agreement is secured by the underlying loans being financed. Related interest rates are based upon the note rate associated with the loans being financed. The short-term repurchase agreement had a ~~$6.5~~$6.1 million balance at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and a $2.1 million balance at December 31, 2021.

The Company enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. In addition, the Company enters into agreements under which it sells loans held for sale subject to an obligation to repurchase the same loans. Under these arrangements, the Company may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets. As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of assets. The obligation to repurchase the assets is reflected as a liability in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition, while the securities and loans held for sale underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities and loans held for sale asset accounts. In other words, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities or loans held for sale assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. The Company's repurchase agreement is subject to master netting agreements, which sets forth the rights and obligations for repurchase and offset. Under the master netting agreement, the Company is entitled to set off the collateral placed with a single counterparty against obligations owed to that counterparty.

The ~~FHLB short-term advance consists of~~ ~~one~~ ~~$5.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 0.00% and a maturity date of~~ ~~May 9, 2022.~~

~~The~~ $50.0 million advance due in 2027 has a fixed rate of 1.73% and has a contractual maturity date in December 2027.

The $100.0 million in advances due in 2028 consists of one $50.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 2.34% and a FHLB quarterly call option currently ~~avavilable~~available and one $50.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 2.57% and a FHLB quarterly call option currently available.

The ~~$165.0~~$125.0 million in advances due in 2029 consists of one $50.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 1.98% with a FHLB quarterly call option in ~~May 2022,~~ currently available, one $50.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 1.75% with a FHLB quarterly call option currently available, and one $25.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 1.52% ~~with a FHLB quarterly call option currently available, and~~ ~~one~~ ~~advance of $40.0 million with a fixed rate of 1.02% and~~ with a FHLB quarterly call option currently available.

The Company selects loans that meet underwriting criteria established by the FHLB as collateral for outstanding advances. The Company’s borrowings from the FHLB are limited to 80% of the carrying value of unencumbered one- to four-family mortgage loans, 75% of the carrying value of multi-family loans and 64% of the carrying value of home equity loans. In addition, these advances were collateralized by FHLB stock of $16.3 million at June 30, 2022 and $24.4 million at~~March 31, 2022~~ ~~and~~ December 31, 2021, respectively. In the event of prepayment, the Company is obligated to pay all remaining contractual interest on the advance.

Note 7 – Regulatory Capital

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements, or overall financial performance deemed by the regulators to be inadequate, can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's and Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

As required by applicable legislation, the federal banking agencies were required to develop a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the ratio of a bank’s tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution’s risk profile when evaluating whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement.

The federal banking agencies must set the minimum capital for the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio at not less than 8% and not more than 10%. The Community Bank Leverage Ratio is currently 9%. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition, and opt-out of this new definition, at any time. As a qualified community bank, we elected to opt-out of this definition during the second quarter of 2020.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well-capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.

The minimum capital ratios set forth in the Regulatory Capital Plans will be increased and other minimum capital requirements will be established if and as necessary. In accordance with the Regulatory Capital Plans, the Bank will not pursue any acquisition or growth opportunity, declare any dividend or conduct any stock repurchase that would cause the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio and/or its Tier 1 leverage ratio to fall below the established minimum capital levels or the capital levels required for capital adequacy plus the ~~captial~~capital conservation buffer. The minimum ~~captial~~capital conservation buffer is 2.5%.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Bank was well-capitalized, with all capital ratios exceeding the well-capitalized requirement. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s prompt corrective action capitalization category.

The Bank is subject to regulatory restrictions on the amount of dividends it may declare and pay to the Company without prior regulatory approval, and to regulatory notification requirements for dividends that do not require prior regulatory approval.

Note 9 – Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Contingent Liabilities

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

⁽¹⁾	Commitments for loans are extended to customers for up to 90 days after which they expire. Excludes commitments to originate loans held for sale, which are discussed in the following footnote.

⁽²⁾	Unused portions of home equity loans are available to the borrower for up to 10 years.

⁽³⁾	Unused portions of construction loans are available to the borrower for up to one year.

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 generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral obtained generally consists of mortgages on the underlying real estate.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds mortgages on the underlying real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

The Company has determined that there are 0 probable losses related to commitments to extend credit or the standby letters of credit as of December 31, 2021. Please see Note 3 - Loans Receivable for discussion on the allowance for credit losses - unfunded commitments.

Residential mortgage loans sold to others are predominantly conventional residential first lien mortgages. The Company’s agreements to sell residential mortgage loans in the normal course of business usually require certain representations and warranties on the underlying loans sold related to credit information, loan documentation and collateral, which if subsequently are untrue or breached, could require the Company to repurchase certain loans affected. The Company has only been required to make insignificant repurchases as a result of breaches of these representations and warranties. The Company’s agreements to sell residential mortgage loans also contain limited recourse provisions. The recourse provisions are limited in that the recourse provision ends after certain payment criteria have been met. With respect to these loans, repurchase could be required if defined delinquency issues arose during the limited recourse period. Given that the underlying loans delivered to buyers are predominantly conventional first lien mortgages, historical experience has resulted in insignificant losses and repurchase activity. The Company's reserve for losses related to these recourse provisions totaled ~~$1.9~~$1.8 million and $2.1 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company, or its subsidiaries, are involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from pending proceedings would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 10 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Mortgage Banking ~~Derviatives~~Derivatives

In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments as part of its strategy to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. Mortgage banking derivatives include interest rate lock commitments provided to customers to fund mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of such loans. It is the Company’s practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect of future changes in interest rates on its commitments to fund the loans as well as on its portfolio of mortgage loans held-for-sale. The Company’s mortgage banking derivatives have not been designated as being a hedge relationship. These instruments are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes.

Derivative Loan Commitments

Mortgage loan commitments qualify as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding. The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 60 days after inception of the rate lock.

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of a rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases.

Forward Loan Sale Commitments

The Company utilizes both “mandatory delivery” and “best efforts” forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments.

With a “mandatory delivery” contract, the Company commits to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to an investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. If the Company fails to deliver the number of mortgages necessary to fulfill the commitment by the specified date, it is obligated to pay a “pair-off” fee, based on then-current market prices, to the investor to compensate the investor for the shortfall.

With a “best efforts” contract, the Company commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes. Generally, the price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g., on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower).

The Company expects that these forward loan sale commitments will experience changes in fair value opposite to the change in fair value of derivative loan commitments.

~~Interest Rate Swaps~~

~~The Company~~ ~~may~~ offer derivative contracts to its customers in connection with their risk management needs. The Company manages the risk associated with these contracts by entering into an equal and offsetting derivative with a ~~third~~~~-party dealer through back-to-back swaps. These derivatives generally work together as an economic interest rate hedge, but the Company does~~ ~~not~~ designate them for hedge accounting treatment. Consequently, changes in fair value of the corresponding derivative financial asset or liability are recorded as either a charge or credit to current earnings during the period in which the changes occurred. The fair value of the swaps is recorded as both an asset and a liability, in other assets and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition, respectively, in equal amounts for these transactions.

In determining the fair value of its derivative loan commitments, the Company considers the value that would be generated by the loan arising from exercise of the loan commitment when sold in the secondary mortgage market. That value includes the price that the loan is expected to be sold for in the secondary mortgage market. The fair value of these commitments is recorded on the consolidated statements of financial condition with the changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's mortgage banking derivatives, including interest rate lock commitments, is the loan pull through rate. This represents the percentage of loans currently in a lock position which the Company estimates will ultimately close. Generally, the fair value of an interest rate lock commitment will be positively (negatively) impacted when the prevailing interest rate is lower (higher) than the interest rate lock commitment. Generally, an increase in the pull through rate will result in the fair value of the interest rate lock increasing when in a gain position, or decreasing when in a loss position. The pull through rate is largely dependent on the loan processing stage that a loan is currently in and the change in prevailing interest rates from the time of the rate lock. The pull through rate is computed using historical data and the ratio is periodically reviewed by the Company.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company may offer derivative contracts to its customers in connection with their risk management needs. The Company manages the risk associated with these contracts by entering into an equal and offsetting derivative with a third-party dealer through back-to-back swaps. These derivatives generally work together as an economic interest rate hedge, but the Company does not designate them for hedge accounting treatment. Consequently, changes in fair value of the corresponding derivative financial asset or liability are recorded as either a charge or credit to current earnings during the period in which the changes occurred. The fair value of the swaps is recorded as both an asset and a liability, in other assets and other liabilities on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition, respectively, in equal amounts for these transactions.

Note 11 – Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share are computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive effect of all potential common shares.

There were ~~87,000~~186,000 and ~~35,000~~36,100 antidilutive shares of common stock for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. There were 112,000 and 40,100 antidilutive shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 12 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This accounting standard applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements. The standard also emphasizes that fair value (i.e., the price that would be received in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date), among other things, is based on exit price versus entry price, should include assumptions about risk such as nonperformance risk in liability fair values, and is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. When considering the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, this accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels.

Level 1 inputs - In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

Level 2 inputs - Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets where there are few transactions and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs - Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The following summarizes the valuation techniques for assets recorded in our consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair value on a recurring basis:

Available-for-sale securities – The Company’s investment securities classified as available for sale include: mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, government sponsored enterprise bonds, municipal securities and other debt securities. The fair value of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and government sponsored enterprise bonds are determined by a third party valuation source using observable market data utilizing a matrix or multi-dimensional relational pricing model. Standard inputs to these models include observable market data such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, prepayment models and bid/offer market data. For securities with an early redemption feature, an option adjusted spread model is utilized to adjust the issuer spread. These model and matrix measurements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of municipal and other debt securities is determined by a third party valuation source using observable market data utilizing a multi-dimensional relational pricing model. Standard inputs to this model include observable market data such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, rating updates and issuer spreads. These model measurements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the statement of comprehensive income.

Loans held for sale – The Company carries loans held for sale at fair value under the fair value option model. Fair value is generally determined by estimating a gross premium or discount, which is derived from pricing currently observable in the secondary market, principally from observable prices for forward sale commitments. Loans held-for-sale are considered to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques. The change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the statement of income.

Mortgage banking derivatives - Mortgage banking derivatives include interest rate lock commitments to originate residential loans held for sale to individual customers and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to various investors. The Company utilizes a valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, which includes applying a pull through rate based upon historical experience and the current interest rate environment and then multiplying by quoted investor prices. The Company also utilizes a valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential loans, which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing available. While there are Level 2 and 3 inputs used in the valuation models, the Company has determined that one or more of the inputs significant in the valuation of both of the mortgage banking derivatives fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the statement of income.

Interest rate swap assets/liabilities - The Company offers loan level swaps to its customers and offsets its exposure from such contracts by entering into mirror image swaps with a financial institution / swap counterparty. The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date. Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. Interest rate swap assets and liabilities are considered to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques. The change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the statement of operations, within other income and other expense.

Real estate owned – On a non-recurring basis, real estate owned is recorded in our consolidated statements of financial condition at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based on third party appraisals and, if less than the carrying value of the foreclosed loan, the carrying value of the real estate owned is adjusted to the fair value. Appraised values are adjusted to consider disposition costs and also to take into consideration the age of the most recent appraisal. Given the significance of the adjustments made to appraised values necessary to estimate the fair value of the properties, real estate owned is considered to be Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques.

Mortgage servicing rights – The Company utilizes an independent valuation from a third party which uses a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of mortgage servicing rights. The model utilizes prepayment assumptions to project cash flows related to the mortgage servicing rights based upon the current interest rate environment, which is then discounted to estimate an expected fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. The model considers characteristics specific to the underlying mortgage portfolio, such as: contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, delinquency rates, late charges and costs to service. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs utilized in the estimation process, mortgage servicing rights are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The Company records the mortgage servicing rights at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.

For Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements were as follows:

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Fair value information about financial instruments follows, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

3536

Table of Contents

Loans Receivable

The fair value estimation process for the loan portfolio uses an exit price concept and reflects discounts the Company believes are consistent with discounts in the market place. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as one- to four-family, multi-family, home equity, construction and land, commercial real estate, commercial, and other consumer. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for similar maturities. The fair value analysis also includes other assumptions to estimate fair value, intended to approximate those a market participant would use in an orderly transaction, with adjustments for discount rates, interest rates, liquidity, and credit spreads, as appropriate.

FHLB Stock

For FHLB stock, the carrying amount is the amount at which shares can be redeemed with the FHLB and is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits and Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes

The fair values for interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of similar remaining maturities to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of the outstanding certificates of deposit. The advance payments by borrowers for taxes are equal to their carrying amounts at the reporting date.

Borrowings

Fair values for borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to estimated future cash flows of the borrowings.

Accrued Interest Payable and Accrued Interest Receivable

For accrued interest payable and accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are generally not marketable. Furthermore, interest rates on any amounts drawn under such commitments would be generally established at market rates at the time of the draw. Fair values for the Company’s commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparty’s credit standing, and discounted cash flow analyses. The fair value of the Company’s commitments to extend credit was not material at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Note 13 – Segment Reporting

Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be provided about reportable operating segments, considering a "management approach" concept as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management approach is based on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing performance. Consequently, the segments are evident from the structure of the enterprise's internal organization, focusing on financial information that an enterprise's chief operating decision-makers use to make decisions about the enterprise's operating matters.

The Company has determined that it has 2 reportable segments: community banking and mortgage banking. The Company's operating segments are presented based on its management structure and management accounting practices. The structure and practices are specific to the Company and therefore, the financial results of the Company's business segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial institutions.

Community Banking

The community banking segment provides consumer and business banking products and services to customers primarily within Southeastern Wisconsin. Within this segment, the following products and services are provided: (1) lending solutions such as residential mortgages, home equity loans and lines of credit, personal and installment loans, real estate financing, business loans, and business lines of credit; (2) deposit and transactional solutions such as checking, credit, debit and pre-paid cards, online banking and bill pay, and money transfer services; (3) investable funds solutions such as savings, money market deposit accounts, IRA accounts, certificates of deposit, and (4) fixed and variable annuities, insurance as well as trust and investment management accounts.

Consumer products include loan and deposit products: mortgage, home equity loans and lines, personal term loans, demand deposit accounts, interest bearing transaction accounts and time deposits.

	●	the effects of any pandemic, including COVID-19, and related government actions;
	●	competition among depository and other financial institutions;
	●	inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, our mortgage banking revenues, the fair value of financial instruments or the origination levels in our lending business, or increase the level of defaults, losses or prepayments on loans we have made and make whether held in portfolio or sold in the secondary markets;
	●	adverse changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets;
	●	changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

See also the factors referred to in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (particularly those under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021).

The risks included here are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may include additional factors which could adversely affect our business and financial performance. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks, nor can it assess the impact of all such risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction therewith. The detailed discussion in the sections below focuses on the results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021 and the financial condition as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the financial condition as of December 31, 2021.

As described in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, we have two reportable segments: community banking and mortgage banking. The community banking segment provides consumer and business banking products and services to customers primarily within Southeastern Wisconsin. Consumer products include loan products, deposit products, and personal investment services. Business banking products include loans for working capital, inventory and general corporate use, commercial real estate construction loans, and deposit accounts. The mortgage banking segment, which is conducted by offices in 2326 states through Waterstone Mortgage Corporation, consists of originating residential mortgage loans primarily for sale in the secondary market.

Our community banking segment generates the significant majority of our consolidated net interest income and requires the significant majority of our provision for loan losses. Our mortgage banking segment generates the significant majority of our noninterest income and a majority of our noninterest expenses. We have provided below a discussion of the material results of operations for each segment on a separate basis for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, which focuses on noninterest income and noninterest expenses. We have also provided a discussion of the consolidated operations of the Company, which includes the consolidated operations of the Bank and Waterstone Mortgage Corporation, for the same periods.

Significant Items

There were no significant items that impacted earnings for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused economic and social disruption on an unprecedented scale. While some industries have been impacted more severely than others, all businesses have been impacted to some degree. Conditions have appeared to improve and our businesses remain fully operational. We continue to monitor the degree and severity of the pandemic and will react to future changes in current environment.

Comparison of Community Banking Segment Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021

Net income totaled ~~$4.3~~$6.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~$7.3~~$7.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Net interest income decreased ~~$2.6 million~~$807,000 to ~~$11.7~~$13.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~$14.2~~$14.5 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Interest income on loans decreased as replacement rates and average balances were lower than in the prior year. Offsetting the decrease in interest income on loans, interest expense on deposits decreased as replacement rates decreased and interest income on mortgage-related securities increased due to the increase in the average balance.

There was a negative provision for credit losses ~~- loans~~ of ~~$16,000~~$41,000 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to a ~~$1.1 million~~$750,000 negative provision for loan losses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The negative provision for credit losses of $41,000 consisted of a $170,000 provision related to loans and a $211,000 of negative provision related to unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we made adjustments to our forecast factor to reflect the current economic forecast, and qualitative factors, primarily to account for the changes in internal metrics and external risk factors. ~~There was a negative provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments of $157,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022~~

Total noninterest income increased ~~$189,000~~$10,000 to $1.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 due primarily to an increase in ~~a gain from death benefit received on one~~ bank owned life insurance ~~policy during the three months ended March 31, 2022~~offset as interest rates increased offset by a decrease in service fee on deposits.

Compensation, payroll taxes, and other employee benefits expense ~~increased $237,000~~decreased $278,000 to ~~$5.2~~$4.6 million primarily due to ~~an increase~~a decrease in health insurance expense and Employee Stock Ownership Plan expense as the average stock price ~~increased~~decreased compared to the quarter ending ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Comparison of Mortgage Banking Segment Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021

Net income totaled ~~$1.1~~$1.7 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~$14.0~~$10.4 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. We originated ~~$708.5~~$778.8 million in mortgage loans held for sale (including sales to the community banking segment) during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, which represents a decrease of ~~$406.6~~$286.4 million, or ~~36.5%~~26.9%, from the ~~$1.12~~$1.06 billion originated during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The decrease in loan production volume was driven by a ~~$328.7~~$187.3 million, or ~~67.1%~~71.5%, decrease in refinance products as mortgage rates have increased. Mortgage purchase products decreased ~~$77.9~~$99.1 million, or ~~12.5%~~12.3%, due to inventory constraints in the ~~market.~~market and as interest rates have increased. Total mortgage banking noninterest income decreased ~~$26.4~~$20.4 million, or ~~48.0%~~40.4%, to ~~$28.6~~$30.1 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~$55.0~~$50.6 million during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The decrease in mortgage banking noninterest income was related to a ~~36.5%~~26.9% decrease in volume and a ~~17.6%~~21.8% decrease in gross margin on loans originated and sold for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Gross margin on loans originated and sold is the ratio of mortgage banking income (excluding the change in interest rate lock fair value) divided by total loan originations. The gross margin on loans originated and sold contraction reflects decreased industry demand due to the increased competition from mortgage ~~orginators.~~originators. We sell loans on both a servicing-released and a servicing-retained basis. Waterstone Mortgage Corporation has contracted with a third party to service the loans for which we retain servicing.

Additionally, our overall margin can be affected by the mix of both loan type (conventional loans versus governmental) and loan purpose (purchase versus refinance). Conventional loans include loans that conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac standards, whereas governmental loans are those loans guaranteed by the federal government, such as a Federal Housing Authority or U.S. Department of Agriculture loan. Loans originated for the purchase of a residential property, which generally yield a higher margin than loans originated for refinancing existing loans, comprised ~~77.3%~~90.4% of total originations during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to ~~56.1%~~75.4% of total originations during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, respectively, as refinance demand decelerated due to an increase in interest rates over the past year. The mix of loan type trended towards more governmental loans and less conventional loans, with governmental loans and conventional loans comprising ~~24.5%~~25.7% and ~~75.5%~~74.3% of all loan originations, respectively, during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to ~~21.0%~~24.7% and ~~79.0%~~75.3% of all loan originations, respectively, during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

Total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits decreased ~~$8.8~~$7.9 million, or ~~30.2%~~26.9%, to ~~$20.4~~$21.3 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~$29.3~~$29.2 million for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The decrease in compensation expense was primarily related to decreased commission expense and branch manager compensation driven by decreased loan origination volume and branch profitability as gross margins decreased. Professional fees increased $862,000 to $338,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $524,000 of income during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The increase related to a countersuit settlement received during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Other noninterest expense ~~decreased $372,000 to $2.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared~~increased $55,000 to $2.7 million during the quarter ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2022. The ~~decrease~~increase related to an increase in provision of loan sale losses offset by a decrease in ~~the amortization expense on~~ mortgage servicing rights ~~due~~amortization expense. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the segment opened five new branches. Direct start up expenses related to these branches totaled approximately $510,000 for the ~~bulk sale of mortgage servicing rights during 2021.~~ quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Provision for Credit Losses

There was a provision for credit losses of $48,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a $750,000 negative provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The $48,000 provision for credit losses consisted of a $259,000 provision related to loans and a $211,000 of negative provision related to unfunded commitments for the three months ended June 30, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we made adjustments to our forecast factor to reflect the current economic forecast, and qualitative factors, primarily to account for the changes in internal metrics and external risk factors.

The provision is primarily a function of the Company's reserving methodology and assessments of certain quantitative and qualitative factors which are used to determine an appropriate allowance for credit losses for the period. See further discussion regarding the allowance for loan losses in the "Asset Quality" section for an analysis of charge-offs, nonperforming assets, specific reserves and additional provisions and the "Allowance for Credit Loss" section.

Total noninterest income decreased $20.8 million, or 40.0%, to $31.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $52.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in mortgage banking noninterest income and other income.

●

The decrease in mortgage banking income was primarily the result of a decrease in loan origination volume and gross margin on loans originated and sold. Gross margin on loans originated and sold is the ratio of mortgage banking income (excluding the change in interest rate lock fair value) divided by total loan originations. Total loan origination volume on a consolidated basis decreased $307.5 million, or 29.1%, to $747.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $1.06 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross margin on loans originated and sold decreased 21.8% at the mortgage banking segment. See "Comparison of Mortgage Banking Segment Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021" above for additional discussion of the decrease in mortgage banking income.

●

The decrease in other noninterest income was due primarily to a decrease in mortgage servicing fee income as the Company sold mortgage servicing rights related to $1.24 billion in loans serviced for third parties during third quarter 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the Company maintained servicing rights related to $340.5 million and $1.37 billion, respectively, in loans previously sold to third parties.

●	Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits expense at our mortgage banking segment decreased $7.9 million, or 26.9%, to $21.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in compensation expense was primarily related to decreased commission expense and branch manager compensation driven by decreased loan origination volume and branch profitability as gross margins decreased.
●	Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits expense at the community banking segment decreased $278,000, or 5.7%, to $4.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in health insurance expense and Employee Stock Ownership Plan expense as the average stock price decreased.
●	Occupancy, office furniture and equipment expense at the mortgage banking segment decreased $226,000 to $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily resulting from lower rent and depreciation expense.
●	Occupancy, office furniture and equipment expense at the community banking segment decreased $11,000 to $876,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due primarily to decreased utilities expenses and computer equipment.
●	Advertising expense increased $51,000, or 5.6%, to $962,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This was primarily due to marketing increases at the mortgage banking segment to attract customers as rates are higher than in the prior year. Advertising at the community banking segment decreased as customer promotions slowed.
●	Data processing expense increased $230,000, or 25.2%, to $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This was primarily due to increases at the community banking and mortgage banking segments for continued investments in technology and security.
●	Professional fees decreased $220,000 to $349,000 of income during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease related to a decrease in legal fees, consulting fees, and audit expenses.
●	Other noninterest expense increased $196,000, or 6.2%, to $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase at the mortgage banking segment related to an increase in provision of loan sale losses offset by a decrease in mortgage servicing rights amortization expense. The increase at the community banking segment was due to an increase in certain loan related expenses.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaled $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $5.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021. Income tax expense was recognized on the statement of income during the three months ended June 30, 2022 at an effective rate of 21.8% of pretax income compared to 24.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the effective rate reflects an increase of permanent deductions relative to the amount of pretax income and additionally the 2022 rate reflects the lower state tax apportionment based on the final 2020 tax returns.

Comparison of Community Banking Segment Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Net income totaled $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net interest income decreased $3.4 million to $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $28.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Interest income on loans decreased as replacement rates and average balances were lower than in the prior year. Offsetting the decrease in interest income on loans, interest expense on deposits decreased as replacement rates decreased and interest income on mortgage-related securities increased due to the increase in the average balance.

There was a negative provision for credit losses of $181,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a $1.9 million negative provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The negative provision for credit losses of $181,000 consisted of a $187,000 provision related to loans and a $368,000 of negative provision related to unfunded commitments for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we made adjustments to our forecast factor to reflect the current economic forecast, and qualitative factors, primarily to account for the changes in internal metrics and external risk factors.

Total noninterest income increased $199,000, or 6.9%, to $3.1 million due primarily to an increase in a gain from death benefit received on one bank owned life insurance policy and an increase in bank owned life insurance as interest rates increased during the six months ended June 30, 2022,offset by a decrease in service fee on deposits.

Table of Contents

Compensation, payroll taxes, and other employee benefits expense decreased $41,000 to $9.8 million primarily due to a decrease in ESOP expense compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Other noninterest expense increased $705,000 to $1.6 million as certain loan-related expenses increased.

Comparison of Mortgage Banking Segment Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

Net income totaled $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $24.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. We originated $1.49 billion in mortgage loans held for sale (including sales to the community banking segment) during the six months ended June 30, 2022, which represents a decrease of $693.0 million, or 31.8%, from the $2.18 billion originated during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in loan production volume was driven by a $516.0 million, or 68.7%, decrease in refinance products as mortgage rates have increased. Mortgage purchase products decreased $177.1 million, or 12.4%, due to inventory constraints in the market and as interest rates have increased. Total mortgage banking noninterest income decreased $46.9 million, or 44.4%, to $58.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $105.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in mortgage banking noninterest income was related to a 31.8% decrease in volume and a 19.8% decrease in gross margin on loans originated and sold for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021. Gross margin on loans originated and sold is the ratio of mortgage banking income (excluding the change in interest rate lock fair value) divided by total loan originations. The gross margin on loans originated and sold contraction reflects decreased industry demand due to the increased competition from mortgage originators. We sell loans on both a servicing-released and a servicing-retained basis. Waterstone Mortgage Corporation has contracted with a third party to service the loans for which we retain servicing.

Additionally, our overall margin can be affected by the mix of both loan type (conventional loans versus governmental) and loan purpose (purchase versus refinance). Conventional loans include loans that conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac standards, whereas governmental loans are those loans guaranteed by the federal government, such as a Federal Housing Authority or U.S. Department of Agriculture loan. Loans originated for the purchase of a residential property, which generally yield a higher margin than loans originated for refinancing existing loans, comprised 84.1% of total originations during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 65.5% of total originations during the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as refinance demand decelerated due to an increase in interest rates over the past year. The mix of loan type trended towards more governmental loans and less conventional loans, with governmental loans and conventional loans comprising 25.1% and 74.9% of all loan originations, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to 22.8% and 77.2% of all loan originations, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits decreased $16.7 million, or 28.6%, to $41.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $58.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in compensation expense was primarily related to decreased commission expense and branch manager compensation driven by decreased loan origination volume and branch profitability as gross margins decreased. Other noninterest expense decreased $317,000 to $5.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $5.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The $317,000 decrease related to a decrease in the amortization expense on mortgage servicing rights due to the bulk sale of mortgage servicing rights during the third quarter of 2021.

(4)	Interest income from tax exempt securities is computed on a taxable equivalent basis using a tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Net interest income decreased $2.3 million, or 8.1%, to $25.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $28.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

	●	Interest income on loans decreased $5.0 million, or 15.2%, to $28.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $33.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 due primarily to a $258.7 million, or 15.6%, decrease in average loans as payoffs continue to outpace originations as interest rates are increasing. This decrease was partially offset by an two basis point increase in average yield on loans as interest rates continue to increase over the past year. The decrease in average loan balance was driven by an decrease of $107.3 million, or 8.0%, in the average balance of loans held in portfolio along with a $151.3 million, or 46.8%, decrease in the average balance of loans held for sale.
	●	Interest expense on time deposits decreased $1.0 million, or 48.2%, to $1.1 million primarily due to a 24 basis point decrease in average cost of time deposits. Additionally, the average balance of time deposits decreased $100.5 million compared to the prior year period.
	●	Interest expense on money market, savings, and escrow accounts decreased $49,000, or 10.8%, to $403,000 due primarily to a seven basis point decrease in average cost of money market, savings, and escrow accounts.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Company adopted ASC Topic 326 as of January 1, 2022. The Company calculated the current quarter allowance using the CECL model on January 1, 2022, which resulted in an opening balance adjustment of $430,000 to increase the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, there was a $1.4 million opening balance adjustment to record an allowance for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, which is presented in Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Net of tax impact, the adoption of the CECL model resulted in a $1.4 million reduction to retained earnings.

There was a negative provision for credit losses ~~- loans~~ of ~~$81,000~~$28,000 for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to a ~~$1.1 million~~$1.8 negative provision for loan losses for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The $28,000 negative provision for credit losses consisted of a $340,000 provision related to loans and a $368,000 of negative provision related to unfunded commitments for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we made adjustments to our forecast factor to reflect the current economic forecast, and qualitative factors, primarily to account for the changes in internal metrics and external risk ~~factors.There was a negative provision for credit losses - unfunded commitments of $157,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022~~factors.

Total noninterest income decreased ~~$26.4~~$47.2 million, or ~~46.9%~~43.6%, to ~~$29.8~~$61.1 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~$56.2~~$108.2 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The decrease resulted primarily from an decrease in mortgage banking noninterest income.

	●	The decrease in mortgage banking income was primarily the result of a decrease in loan origination volume and gross margin on loans originated and sold. Gross margin on loans originated and sold is the ratio of mortgage banking income (excluding the change in interest rate lock fair value) divided by total loan originations. Total loan origination volume on a consolidated basis decreased ~~$411.0~~$718.5 million, or ~~37.1%~~33.2%, to ~~$698.1 million~~$1.45 billion during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~$1.11~~$2.16 billion during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Gross margin on loans originated and sold decreased ~~17.6%~~19.8% at the mortgage banking segment. See "Comparison of Mortgage Banking Segment Results of Operations for the ~~Three~~Six Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021" above for additional discussion of the decrease in mortgage banking income.
	●	~~Service charges on loans and deposits decreased primarily due to a decrease in loan prepayment fees and an increase net fraud losses.~~
	●	The decrease in other noninterest income was due primarily to a decrease in mortgage servicing fee income as the Company sold mortgage servicing rights related to $1.24 billion in loans serviced for third parties during third quarter 2021. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company maintained servicing rights related to ~~$301.3~~$340.5 million and ~~$1.25~~$1.37 billion, respectively, in loans previously sold to third parties. Offsetting the decreases, there was a $340,000 increase in gain from death benefit received on one bank owned life insurance policy during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to none during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021

	●	Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits expense at our mortgage banking segment decreased ~~$8.8~~$16.7 million, or ~~30.2%~~28.6%, to ~~$20.4~~$41.7 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The decrease in compensation expense was primarily related to decreased commission expense and branch manager compensation driven by decreased loan origination volume and branch profitability as gross margins decreased.
	●	Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits expense at the community banking segment ~~increased $237,000,~~decreased $41,000, or ~~4.8%~~0.4%, to ~~$5.2~~$9.8 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

	●	Data processing expense increased ~~$231,000,~~$461,000, or ~~23.8%~~24.5%, to ~~$1.2~~$2.3 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. This was primarily due to increases at the community banking and mortgage banking segments for continued investments in technology and security.
	●	Professional fees increased ~~$776,000~~$556,000, 218.9%, to ~~$461,000~~$810,000 during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Comparison of Financial Condition at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021

Total Assets – Total assets decreased by ~~$211.2~~$274.8 million, or ~~9.5%~~12.4%, to ~~$2.00~~$1.94 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 from $2.22 billion at December 31, 2021. The decrease in total assets primarily reflects a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and loans held for sale, partially offset by an increase in loans held for investment, securities available for sale and other assets. The total assets decrease reflects liability decreases in deposits and borrowings.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents decreased ~~$98.2~~$254.5 million, or ~~26.1%~~67.6%, to ~~$278.5~~$122.2 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to $376.7 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects the increases in loans held for investment, securities available for sale and decrease of funding sources from deposits and borrowings.

Securities Available for Sale – Securities available for sale increased ~~$22.9~~$21.5 million to ~~$202.0~~$200.5 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to purchases of mortgage-related securities as the interest rates continue to rise. The purchases are exceeding security paydowns for the year and maturities of debt securities.

Loans Held for Sale - Loans held for sale decreased ~~$158.3~~$106.0 million to ~~$154.4~~$206.7 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 due to the decrease of refinancing and purchase activity resulting from the increase in mortgage rates.

Loans Receivable - Loans receivable held for investment increased ~~$1.6~~$70.8 million to ~~$1.21~~$1.28 billion at ~~March 31, 2022~~June 30, 2022. The increase in total loans receivable was attributable to increases in each of the one- to four-family, multi-family, and commercial real estate loan categories.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans - The allowance for loan losses increased ~~$1.2~~$1.5 million to ~~$16.9~~$17.3 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The increase primarily resulted from the CECL model adoption on January 1, 2022. The CECL calculation resulted in an opening balance adjustment of $430,000 to increase the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, net recoveries totaled ~~$616,000~~$723,000 for the ~~quarter~~six months ended ~~March 31, 2022, as one significant loan recovery payment was received during the quarter.~~June 30, 2022. With the adoption of CECL, estimated recoveries may be accounted for within the calculation and do not impact the provision for credit losses line item when cash is received.

There was a provision for credit losses - loans of ~~$81,000~~$340,000 for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31, 2022~~June 30, 2022. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we made adjustments to our forecast factor to reflect the current economic forecast, and qualitative factors, primarily to account for the changes in internal metrics and external risk factors. See Note 3 - Loans Receivable of the notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the allowance for credit losses.

Prepaid expenses and other assets – Total prepaid expenses and other assets increased ~~$22.2~~$3.2 million to ~~$67.3~~$48.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in funding receivable on loans sold at the mortgage banking segment and ~~derivatives. Addtionally,~~ deferred taxes increased as unrealized losses on available for sale securities increased due to rising interest rates.

Deposits – Total deposits decreased ~~$22.9~~$20.2 million to $1.21 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The decrease was driven by a decrease of ~~$35.0~~$38.7 million in time deposits offset by an increase of ~~$8.4~~$15.6 million in demand deposits and $2.9 million in money market and savings ~~deposits and $3.7 million in demand~~ deposits.

Borrowings – Total borrowings decreased ~~$150.6~~$196.0 million, or ~~31.6%~~41.1%, to ~~$326.5~~$281.1 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The community banking segment paid off ~~$155.0~~$200.0 million in long-term FHLB borrowings. External short-term borrowings at the mortgage banking segment increased a total of ~~$4.4~~$4.0 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 from December 31, 2021.

Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes - Advance payments by borrowers for taxes increased ~~$6.7~~$13.2 million to ~~$10.8~~$17.3 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The increase was the result of payments received from borrowers for their real estate taxes and is seasonally normal, as balances increase during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid in the fourth quarter.

Other Liabilities - Other liabilities decreased ~~$23.8~~$25.4 million to ~~$44.7~~$43.1 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Other liabilities decreased primarily due to a seasonal decrease in outstanding checks related to advance payments by borrowers for taxes. The Company receives payments from borrowers for their real estate taxes during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid in the fourth quarter. At the time at which the disbursements are made, the outstanding checks are classified as other liabilities in the statements of financial condition. These amounts remain classified as other liabilities until settled. Additionally, other liabilities decreased due to the payment of the special dividend in the first quarter.

Shareholders’ Equity – Shareholders' equity decreased ~~$20.5~~$46.4 million to ~~$412.3~~$386.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Shareholders' equity decreased primarily due to the declaration of dividends, a decrease in the fair value of the security portfolio, the repurchase of stock and the adoption of CECL. Partially offsetting the decreases, there were increases due to the net income, additional paid-in capital as stock options were exercised and equity awards vested, and unearned ESOP shares vesting.

All loans that are 90 days or more past due with respect to principal and interest are recognized as non-accrual. Troubled debt restructurings that are non-accrual, either due to being past due greater than 90 days or which have not yet performed under the modified terms for a reasonable period of time, are included in the table above. In addition, loans that are past due less than 90 days are evaluated to determine the likelihood of collectability given other credit risk factors such as early stage delinquency, the nature of the collateral or the results of a borrower review. When the collection of all contractual principal and interest is determined to be unlikely, the loan is moved to non-accrual status and an updated appraisal of the underlying collateral is ordered. This process generally takes place when a loan is contractually past due between 60 and 89 days. Upon determining the updated estimated value of the collateral, a loan loss provision is recorded to establish a specific reserve to the extent that the outstanding principal balance exceeds the updated estimated net realizable value of the collateral. When a loan is determined to be uncollectible, typically coinciding with the initiation of foreclosure action, the specific reserve is reviewed for adequacy, adjusted if necessary, and charged-off.

Total non-accrual loans increased by ~~$1.1~~$1.9 million, or ~~19.2%~~34.4%, to ~~$6.6~~$7.5 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to $5.6 million as of December 31, 2021. The ratio of non-accrual loans to total loans receivable was ~~0.55%~~0.59% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to 0.46% at December 31, 2021. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~$1.8~~$2.8 million in loans were placed on non-accrual status. Offsetting this activity, ~~$766,000~~$835,000 in principal payments were received during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Of the ~~$6.6~~$7.5 million in total non-accrual loans as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~$5.6~~$5.9 million in loans have been specifically reviewed to assess whether a specific valuation allowance is necessary. A specific valuation allowance is established for an amount equal to the impairment when the carrying value of the loan exceeds the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral with an adjustment made for costs to dispose of the asset. Based upon these specific reviews, a total of $30,000 in cumulative partial net charge-offs have been recorded over the life of these loans as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Partially charged-off loans measured for impairment based upon net realizable collateral value are maintained in a "non-performing" status and are disclosed as impaired loans. There were no specific reserves as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The remaining ~~$1.1~~$1.6 million of non-accrual loans were reviewed on an aggregate basis as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.
.

The outstanding principal balance of our five largest non-accrual loans as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 totaled $4.5 million, which represents ~~68.1%~~59.7% of total non-accrual loans as of that date. These five loans have not had any cumulative life-to-date net charge-offs and no specific specific reserve was deemed necessary based on net realizable collateral value with respect to these five loans as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Interest payments received are treated as interest income on a cash basis as long as the remaining book value of the loan (i.e., after charge-off of all identified losses) is deemed to be fully collectible. If the remaining book value is not deemed to be fully collectible, all payments received are applied to unpaid principal. Determination as to the ultimate collectability of the remaining book value is supported by an updated credit department evaluation of the borrower's financial condition and prospects for repayment, including consideration of the borrower's sustained historical repayment performance and other relevant factors.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing interest.

All troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired, are risk rated as either substandard or watch and are included in the internal risk rating tables disclosed in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Specific reserves have been established to the extent that collateral-based impairment analyses indicate that a collateral shortfall exists.

We do not participate in government-sponsored troubled debt restructuring programs. Our troubled debt restructurings are short-term modifications. Typical initial restructured terms include six to twelve months of principal forbearance, a reduction in interest rate or both. Restructured terms do not include a reduction of the outstanding principal balance unless mandated by a bankruptcy court. Troubled debt restructuring terms may be renewed or further modified at the end of the initial term for an additional period if performance has been acceptable and the short-term borrower difficulty persists.

If a restructured loan is current in all respects and a minimum of six consecutive restructured payments have been received, it can be considered for return to accrual status. After a restructured loan that is current in all respects reverts to contractual/market terms, if a credit department review indicates no evidence of elevated market risk, the loan is removed from the troubled debt restructuring classification. The restructured loan will be classified as a troubled debt restructuring for at least the calendar year after the modification even after returning to a contractual/market rate and accrual status

⁽¹⁾ The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2022. The 2021 amount presented is calculated under the prior accounting standard.

The allowance for credit losses - loans increased ~~$1.2~~$1.5 million to ~~$16.9~~$17.3 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 from $15.8 million at December 31, 2021. The increase primarily resulted from the CECL model adoption on January 1, 2022. The CECL calculation resulted in an opening balance adjustment of $430,000 to increase the allowance for credit losses. Additionally, net recoveries totaled ~~$616,000~~$723,000 for the ~~quarter~~six months ended ~~March 31, 2022, as one significant loan recovery payment was received during the quarter.~~June 30, 2022. With the adoption of CECL, estimated recoveries may be accounted for within the calculation and do not impact the provision for credit losses line item when cash is received.

We had net recoveries of ~~$616,000,~~$723,000, or ~~0.21%~~0.12% of average loans annualized, for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, compared to net recoveries of ~~$27,000,~~$407,000, or ~~0.01%~~0.06% of average loans annualized, for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Of the ~~$616,000~~$723,000 in net recoveries during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the majority of the activity related to loans secured by multi-family loan categories.

Our underwriting policies and procedures emphasize that credit decisions must rely on both the credit quality of the borrower and the estimated value of the underlying collateral. Credit quality is assured only when the estimated value of the collateral is objectively determined and is not subject to significant fluctuation.

The allowance for credit losses - loans has been determined in accordance with GAAP. We are responsible for the timely and periodic determination of the amount of the allowance required. Any future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon our assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. To the best of management’s knowledge, all probable losses have been provided for in the allowance for credit losses - loans.

Table of Contents

The establishment of the amount of the allowance for credit loss inherently involves judgments by management as to the appropriateness of the allowance, which ultimately may or may not be correct. Higher than anticipated rates of loan default would likely result in a need to increase provisions in future years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity needs. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund loan commitments, repay our borrowings, fund deposit outflows and pay real estate taxes on mortgage loans. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives. The level of our liquidity position at any point in time is dependent upon the judgment of the senior management as supported by the Asset/Liability Committee. Liquidity is monitored on a daily, weekly and monthly basis using a variety of measurement tools and indicators.

Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and repayment of loans, sales of loans held for sale, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan repayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competitors. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term, interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Additional sources of liquidity used for the purpose of managing long- and short-term cash flows include advances from the FHLB.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, primary uses of cash and cash equivalents included: ~~$698.1 million~~$1.45 billion in funding loans held for sale, ~~$47.9~~$70.0 to fund loans held for investment, $68.2 million for purchases of mortgage related securities, ~~$155.0~~$195.0 million for payoffs of long-term borrowings, ~~$17.2~~$21.8 million for cash dividends paid, ~~$22.9~~$20.2 million for decrease in deposits, and ~~$13.8~~$37.9 million for purchases of our common stock.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, primary sources of cash and cash equivalents included: ~~$878.6 million~~$1.59 billion in proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale, ~~$9.0~~$17.4 million in principal repayments on mortgage related securities, ~~$6.4~~$11.4 million in ~~maturies~~maturities of debt securities, $8.1 million in sales of FHLB stock, and ~~$5.3~~$13.3 million in net income.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, primary uses of cash and cash equivalents included: ~~$1.11~~$2.16 billion in funding loans held for sale, ~~$17.6 for short-term borrowings, $16.2~~$39.9 million for purchases of mortgage related securities, ~~$4.8~~$33.1 million for short-term borrowings, $21.5 million for cash dividends paid, ~~$5.0 million for advance payments by borrowers for taxes,~~ and $4.3 million to pay a legal settlement.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, primary sources of cash and cash equivalents included: ~~$1.22~~$2.32 billion in proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale, ~~$39.7~~$79.1 million for net loan receivables decrease, ~~$34.8~~$46.2 million from an increase in deposits, ~~$11.0~~$21.1 million in principal repayments on mortgage related securities, $4.2 million in maturities of debt securities, and ~~$21.3~~$39.2 million in net income.

A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing activities. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, ~~$278.5~~$122.2 million and ~~$198.4~~$228.7 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents were comprised of the following: ~~$247.9~~$87.4 million in cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank and other depository institutions and ~~$30.7~~$34.8 million in federal funds sold and short-term investments. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the calls and maturities of debt and mortgage-related securities, increases in deposit accounts, advances from the FHLB, and repurchase agreements from other institutions.

Liquidity management is both a daily and longer-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB which provide an additional source of funds. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had ~~$320.0~~$275.0 million in long term advances from the FHLB with contractual maturity dates in 2027, 2028, and 2029. The 2027 advance has a contractual maturity date in December 2027. There are two advances that have contractual maturities in ~~2028. Two of the~~2028.There are three advances with contractual maturities in 2029. The 2028 and 2029 advance maturities have quarterly call options ~~which began in June 2020 and September 2020.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans receivable of ~~$61.6~~$66.8 million. In addition, at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had unfunded commitments under construction loans of ~~$43.4~~$29.5 million, unfunded commitments under business lines of credit of ~~$18.0~~$17.9 million and unfunded commitments under home equity lines of credit and standby letters of credit of $12.7 million. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled ~~$511.5~~$494.6 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that, subject to the Bank’s funding needs, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits is not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as FHLB advances, in order to maintain our level of assets. However, we cannot assure that such borrowings would be available on attractive terms, or at all, if and when needed. Alternatively, we could reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale in order to meet funding needs. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher or there is an increased amount of competition for deposits in our market area at the time of renewal.

Waterstone Financial, Inc. is a separate legal entity from WaterStone Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay dividends to its shareholders, repurchase shares of its common stock, and for other corporate purposes. The primary source of liquidity for Waterstone Financial, Inc. is dividend payments from WaterStone Bank. The ability of WaterStone Bank to pay dividends is subject to regulatory restrictions. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, Waterstone Financial, Inc. (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets totaling ~~$40.0~~$57.2 million.

Capital

Shareholders' equity decreased ~~$20.5~~$46.4 million to ~~$412.3~~$386.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Shareholders' equity decreased primarily due to the declaration of dividends, a decrease in the fair value of the security portfolio, the repurchase of stock and the adoption of CECL. Partially offsetting the decreases, there were increases due to the net income, additional paid-in capital as stock options were exercised and equity awards vested, and unearned ESOP shares vesting.

The Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program in the fourth quarter of 2021. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company has ~~2.8~~1.4 million shares remaining in the plan.

WaterStone Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, WaterStone Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 7 - Regulatory Capital.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Management of Market Risk

General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, WaterStone Bank’s board of directors has established an Asset/Liability Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors. Management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee meets at least weekly to review our asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position, which are evaluated quarterly.

We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: (i) emphasizing variable rate loans including variable rate one- to four-family, and commercial real estate loans as well as three to five year commercial real estate balloon loans; (ii) reducing and shortening the expected average life of the investment portfolio; and (iii) whenever possible, lengthening the term structure of our deposit base and our borrowings from the FHLB. These measures should reduce the volatility of our net interest income in different interest rate environments.

Income Simulation. Simulation analysis is an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. At least quarterly we review the potential effect changes in interest rates may have on the repayment or repricing of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities. Our most recent simulation uses projected repricing of assets and liabilities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rate assumptions may have a significant impact on interest income simulation results. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates may have a significant impact on the actual prepayment speeds of our mortgage related assets that may in turn affect our interest rate sensitivity position. When interest rates rise, prepayment speeds slow and the average expected lives of our assets would tend to lengthen more than the expected average lives of our liabilities and therefore would most likely have a positive impact on net interest income and earnings.

The following interest rate scenario displays the percentage change in net interest income over a one-year time horizon assuming increases of 100, 200 and 300 basis points and a decreases of 100 basis points. The results incorporate actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for balance sheet accounts following an instantaneous parallel change in market rates based upon a static no growth, balance sheet.
