NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – The Company

Malvern Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “Malvern Bancorp”), a Pennsylvania corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Holding Company Act”). Malvern Bancorp is the holding company for Malvern Bank, National Association (“Malvern Bank” or the “Bank”), a national bank that was originally organized in 1887 as a federally-chartered savings bank.

The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of the Bank. The Bank’s principal business consists of attracting deposits from businesses and the general public and investing those deposits, together with borrowings and funds generated from operations, in commercial and multi-family real estate loans, one-to-four family residential real estate loans, construction and development loans, commercial business loans, home equity loans, lines of credit, and other consumer loans. The Company also invests in and maintains a portfolio of investment securities, primarily comprised of corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. agency and municipal obligations. Malvern Bank is one of the oldest banks headquartered on the Philadelphia Main Line. For more than a century, the Bank has been committed to helping people build prosperous communities as a trusted financial partner, forging lasting relationships through teamwork, respect, and integrity. The Bank’s primary market niche is providing personalized service to its client base.

The Bank conducts business from its headquarters in Paoli, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, and through its nine other banking locations in Chester and Delaware counties, Pennsylvania, Morristown, New Jersey, its New Jersey regional headquarters, and Palm Beach, Florida. The Bank also maintains a representative office in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the unaudited consolidated statements of condition and that affect the results of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other real estate owned, the evaluation of deferred tax assets, the other-than-temporary impairment evaluation of securities, ~~and~~ the valuation of derivative ~~positions.~~positions and the evaluation of contingent liability. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.

As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Malvern”, “the Company”, “registrant”, “we”, “us”, and “our” mean Malvern Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of financial statement presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the Company’s financial condition at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and the results of operations for the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022, and cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022. The consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2022 was derived from the audited consolidated statement of financial condition as of that date.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and note disclosures included in the 2022 Annual Report filed with the SEC. The consolidated statements of net income for the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2023 or any interim period. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the issuance of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. No ~~significant subsequent events have occurred through this date requiring adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures.~~

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted

Credit Losses. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied currently will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. Additionally, this ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. As amended, ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements. Although no financial impacts have been determined the Company expects this ASU to have a significant impact on the methodology for calculating the ALLL.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. These amendments eliminate the TDR recognition and measurement guidance and, instead, require that an entity evaluate (consistent with the accounting for other loan modifications) whether the modification represents a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. The amendments also enhance existing disclosure requirements and introduce new requirements related to certain modifications of receivables made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For public business entities, these amendments require that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investment in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effects that the adoption of this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging. In March 2022, FASB ASU No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging—Portfolio Layer Method. This update will allow non-prepayable financial assets to be included in a closed portfolio hedge using the portfolio method, rather than only prepayable assets. It also allows entities to hedge multiple layers rather than just a single layer of closed portfolio of financial assets or one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of financial instruments. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that the adoption of this amendment will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding reduced by unearned Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and common stock equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities, reduced by unearned ESOP shares. During the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 , the Company granted 4,200 and 6,958 restricted shares, respectively. The Company also granted 3,979 unrestricted shares during the three and ~~2021,~~six months ended March 31, 2023. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 the Company granted ~~2,758~~6,000 stock options. During the three and ~~zero~~six months ended March 31, 2023 the Company granted 5,131 restricted shares and 2,336 shares were forfeited for the six months ended March 31, 2023. There were no unrestricted shares or stock options granted during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022. There were 1,120 and 1,216 restricted shares forfeited during the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. During the three ~~months ended~~ ~~December 31, 2022~~and ~~2021~~ ~~no stock options were granted. During the~~ ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2023, there were 4,560 and 5,394 shares considered anti-dilutive and excluded from diluted weighted average shares outstanding while during the same period in 2022, there were 4,356 and ~~2021~~ ~~zero and 1,216 restricted shares were forfeited, respectively.~~5,306 anti-dilutive shares.

Note 5 – Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company maintains an ESOP for substantially all of its full-time employees. The current ESOP trustee is Pentegra. Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the ESOP are held until released for allocation to participants. Shares released are allocated to each eligible participant based on the ratio of each such participant’s base compensation to the total base compensation of all eligible plan participants. As the unearned shares are committed to be released and allocated among participants, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares released differs from the cost of such shares, the difference is charged or credited to additional paid-in capital. During the period from May 20, 2008 to September 30, 2008, the ESOP purchased 241,178 shares of Company common stock for approximately $2.6 million, at an average price of $10.86 per share, which was funded by a loan from Malvern Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the Company’s predecessor). The ESOP loan, which bears an interest rate of 5%, is being repaid in quarterly installments through 2026 principally from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP. Shares are released to participants proportionately as the ESOP loan is repaid. During the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and ~~2021~~2022, there were 3,600 and 7,200 shares, respectively, committed to be released. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023, there were ~~53,565~~46,943 unallocated ~~shares and 205,653 allocated~~ shares held by the ESOP. The unallocated shares had an aggregate fair value of approximately ~~$951,000~~$714,000 at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

Note 6 - Investment Securities

The Company’s investment in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale or ~~held-to-maturity at~~ ~~December 31, 2022~~ ~~and at~~ ~~September 30, 2022~~.held-to-maturity. Investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in shareholder’s equity, net of tax. Accordingly, the carrying value of such securities reflects their fair value at the balance sheet date. Fair value is based upon either quoted market prices, or in certain cases where there is limited activity in the market for a particular instrument, assumptions are made to determine their fair value. Held-to-maturity securities, which are carried at amortized cost, are investments where there is positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Equity securities are stated at fair value with any changes in fair value reported in other income.

Transfers of debt securities from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category are made at fair value at the date of transfer. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer remains in accumulated other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity investment security. Premiums or discounts on investment securities are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the life of the security as an adjustment of yield. Unrealized holding gains or losses that remain in accumulated other comprehensive income are amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield, offsetting the related amortization of the premium or accretion of the discount.

The following tables present information related to the Company’s investment securities at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022:

The varying amount of sales from the available-for-sale portfolio over the past few years reflect the significant volatility present in the market. Given the historic low interest rates prevalent in the market, it is necessary for the Company to protect itself from interest rate exposure. Securities that once appeared to be sound investments can, after changes in the market, become securities that the Company has the flexibility to sell to avoid losses and mismatches of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at a later time.

As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023, the estimated fair value of the securities disclosed above was primarily dependent upon the movement in market interest rates, particularly given the inherent credit risk associated with these securities. These investment securities are comprised of securities that are rated investment grade by at least one bond credit rating service. Although the fair value will fluctuate as the market interest rates move, management believes that these fair values will recover as the underlying portfolios mature and are reinvested in market rate yielding investments. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023, the Company held 13 corporate debt securities, 11 municipal bonds, one U.S. government agency, one U.S. Treasury note, one mortgage-backed security, and one single issuer trust preferred security which were all in an unrealized loss position. The Company does not intend to sell, and expects that it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell, these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 represents an other-than-temporary impairment. The decrease in market value is primarily due to an increase in overall in interest rates, primarily the recent ~~FED~~Federal Reserve interest rate hikes.

Investment securities having a carrying value of ~~$11.7~~$33.8 million and $11.9 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, were pledged to secure public funds deposits, prospective Federal Reserve Board discount window borrowings, and prospective ~~FRB discount window~~Federal Reserve Board Bank Term Funding Program borrowings. No investment securities were pledged to secure hedges at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 or September 30, 2022. No investment securities were pledged to secure short-term borrowings at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022.

In assessing the adequacy of the ALLL, it is recognized that the process, methodology and underlying assumptions require a significant degree of judgment. The estimation of loan losses is not precise; the range of factors considered is wide and is significantly dependent upon management’s judgment, including the outlook and potential changes in the economic environment. At present, reduction of the commercial loan portfolio and increased historical loss levels are factored in ~~accessing~~assessing the portfolio. Any unallocated portion of the ALLL in conjunction with the quarterly review and changes to the qualitative factors to adjust for the risk due to current economic conditions reflects management’s estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, regulatory requirements, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors.

Under the Bank’s loan policy, once a loan has been placed on non-accrual status we do not resume interest accruals until the loan has been brought current and has maintained a current payment status for not less than six consecutive months. Total non-accrual loans exclude loans held-for-sale. The increase in non-accrual loans was ~~primarily due~~attributable to ~~the addition of~~ two new residential loans moving to non-accrual status with a combined carrying value of ~~$573,000~~$561,000, which was offset in part by two residential loans moving out of non-accrual status as they were sold through foreclosure. One consumer loan returned to accrual status during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023.

Interest income that would have been recognized on non-accrual loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms ~~was $26,000~~was$8,000for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and $20,000 for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December 31, 2022~~~~, and $28,000 for the~~ ~~three~~ ~~months ended~~ ~~December~~March 31, 2022.

The $4.9 million increase in aggregate outstanding balances is primarily related to the addition of one TDR commercial and industrial loan of $4.8 million. 1913 of the TDR loans continue to perform under the restructured terms through ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and the Company continued to accrue interest on such loans through such date.

Loans that have been classified as TDRs have modified payment terms and in some cases modified interest rates from the original agreements, which allow the borrowers, who were experiencing financial difficulty, to relieve some of their overall cash flow burden, including but not limited to making interest only payments for a period of time. Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and could result in potential incremental losses. These potential incremental losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the ALLL. The level of any defaults will likely be affected by future economic conditions. A default on a TDR loan for purposes of this disclosure occurs when the borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred.

TDRs may arise in cases where, due to financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, the Company obtains through physical possession one or more collateral assets in satisfaction of all or part of an existing credit. Once possession is obtained, the Company reclassifies the appropriate portion of the remaining balance of the credit from loans to other real estate owned (“OREO”), which is included within other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. For any residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, the Company is considered to possess the related collateral only if legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the Company through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. Excluding OREO, the Company had $~~730~~265,000 and $359,000 of residential real estate properties in the process of foreclosure at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The Company also has one commercial real estate loan held for sale at a carrying value of $13.3 million in process of foreclosure at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. The court entered into a Judgment of Foreclosure with respect to athe commercial real estate loan held for sale at a
carrying value of $13.3 million (i) directing the sale of the property at public auction prior to December 13, 2023, (ii) upon sale of the property, directing the payment to the Company ofin the sum of approximately ~~$17.2~~$17.2 million plus interest at the note rate from September 16, 2022 through December 14, 2022 and at the statutory rate of 9% thereafter through the date of the foreclosure sale, (iii) directing that the Company pay for the transfer of the foreclosure sale and (iv) if Malvern is the successful bidder, directing that the Company must place the property back on the market for sale or leasing within 180 ~~day~~days of the foreclosure sale.

Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, and separately based upon regulatory guidance promulgated by federal banking regulators (collectively, the “Interagency Statement”), qualifying short-term loan modifications resulting in payment deferrals that are attributable to the adverse impact of COVID-19 are not considered to be TDRs. As such, the applicable loans are reported as current with regard to payment status and continue to accrue interest during the payment deferral period. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023, there were ~~three~~two such loan modifications totaling ~~$31.8~~$26.6 million all rated “special mention”. At September 30, 2022, the Company had ~~four~~three COVID-19 modified loans totaling $32.0 million, all of which were rated “special mention”.

Note 8 - Regulatory ~~Matter~~Matters

Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a 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 Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to total adjusted tangible assets (as defined in the regulations) and of risk-based capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations).

As of both ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022, the Bank’s current capital levels exceeded the required capital amounts to be considered “well capitalized” and they also met the fully-phased in minimum capital requirements, including the related capital conservation buffers, as required by the Basel III capital rules. The Company is not subject to regulatory capital requirements imposed by Basel III on bank holding companies because it is deemed to be a small bank holding company.

Failure to meet any of the capital requirements could result in enforcement actions by the regulators, including a capital directive, a cease and desist order, civil money penalties, the establishment of restrictions on the institution’s operations, termination of federal deposit insurance and the appointment of a conservator or receiver.

Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next ~~twelve~~12 months, the Company estimates approximately ~~$1.3~~$2.3 million to be reclassified to earnings as a decrease to interest expense. The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 20 months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments).

- 27-

Table of Contents

The Company also executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. These derivatives are not designated as hedges and are not speculative. Rather, these derivatives result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.

The tables below present the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022:

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision providing that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including defaults where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative agreements.

At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022, the fair value of derivatives was in a net asset position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements. There were no adjustments for nonperformance risk at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company had no collateral posting requirement against its obligations under these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions of its contracts, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value and would have been required to pay any additional amounts due in excess of amounts previously posted as collateral with the respective counterparty.

Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures for the Company’s financial instruments. Investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale and equity securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, OREO and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Table of Contents

The Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1— valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2—valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3—valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset.

The Company bases its fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value measurements for assets where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon the Company’s or other third-party’s estimates, are often calculated based on the characteristics of the asset, the economic and competitive environment, and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future valuations.

The Company monitors and evaluates available data to perform fair value measurements on an ongoing basis and recognizes transfers among the levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date event or a change in circumstances affects the valuation method chosen. There were no changes in valuation techniques or transfers between levels at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 or September 30, 2022.

All of the Company’s available for sale investment securities and derivative instruments are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the securities’ terms and conditions, among other things. From time to time, the Company validates prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from third-party sources or derived using internal models.

For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were still held at the end of the period, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022:

At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any additions to our mortgage servicing assets. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company only sold loans with servicing released.

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 825. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. FASB ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents—These assets are carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Investment Securities—Fair value measurements for these securities are typically obtained from independent pricing services that the Company has engaged for this purpose. When available, the Company, or its independent pricing service, use quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based upon models that incorporate available trade, bid and other market information and for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, our independent pricing service’s applications apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. For each asset class, pricing applications and models are based on information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information. All of our securities available for sale are valued using either of the foregoing methodologies to determine fair value adjustments recorded to our financial statements.

Loans Receivable—The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. As such, valuation techniques discussed herein for loans are primarily for estimating fair value for FASB ASC 825 disclosure purposes. However, from time to time, we record nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect partial write-downs for impairment or the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. The valuation of impaired loans is discussed below. The fair value estimate for FASB ASC 825 purposes differentiates loans based on their financial characteristics, such as product classification, loan category, pricing features and remaining maturity. Prepayment and credit loss estimates are evaluated by loan type and rate. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using discount rates based on current industry pricing, adjusted for prepayment and credit loss estimates.

Impaired Loans—Impaired loans are valued utilizing independent appraisals that rely upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience. The appraisals are adjusted downward by management, as necessary, for changes in relevant valuation factors subsequent to the appraisal date and are considered Level 3 inputs. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, one of the Company’s real estate loans totaling ~~$13.2~~$13.3 million classified as held-for-sale was deemed impaired. This loan is fair valued at Level 3 based off an appraisal.

Accrued Interest Receivable—This asset is carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Restricted Stock—Although restricted stock are equity interests in the Federal Reserve Bank, FHLB and ACBB, they are carried at cost because they do not have a readily determinable fair value as its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. The estimated fair value approximates the carrying amount.

Table of Contents

Other Real Estate Owned—Assets acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, thus establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, and are considered Level 3 inputs. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, is charged to the ALLL. If the estimated fair value of the asset declines, a write-down is recorded through expense. The valuation of foreclosed assets is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the future because of, among other factors, changes in the economic conditions.

Deposits—Deposit liabilities are carried at cost. As such, valuation techniques discussed herein for deposits are primarily for estimating fair value for FASB ASC 825 disclosure purposes. The fair value of deposits is discounted based on rates available for time deposits of similar maturities. Fair value approximates book value for saving accounts, checking and negotiable order of withdrawal accounts (“NOW accounts”), and money market accounts.

Borrowings—Advances from the FHLB are carried at amortized cost. However, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of long-term debt under FASB ASC 825. The fair value is based on the contractual cash flows discounted using rates currently offered for new notes with similar remaining maturities.

Subordinated Debt—The calculation of fair value in Level 2 is based on observable market values where available.

Derivatives—The fair value of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). The Company’s 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 rate, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.

Accrued Interest Payable—This liability is carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit— The majority of the Company’s commitments to extend credit and letters of credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans and are not included in the table below. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either the Bank or the borrower, they only have value to the Company and the borrower. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts, which are not significant.

Mortgage Servicing Rights—The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on observable market prices when available or the present value of expected future cash flows when not available. Assumptions, such as loan default rates, costs to service, and prepayment speeds significantly affect the estimate of future cash flows.

Note 12 – Equity Based Incentive Compensation Plan

The Company maintains the Malvern Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which permits the grant of long-term incentive and other stock and cash awards. The purpose of the 2014 Plan is to promote the success of the Company and the Bank by providing incentives to officers, employees and directors of the Company and the Bank that will link their personal interests to the financial success of the Company and to growth in shareholder value. The maximum total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for grants under the 2014 Plan is 400,000. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023, there were ~~281,018~~266,839 remaining shares available for future grants.

Restricted stock and option awards granted typically vest annually in 20% increments beginning on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, and accelerate upon a change in control of the Company. The options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. All issuances are subject to forfeiture if the recipient leaves the Company or is terminated prior to the awards vesting. Shares of restricted stock have the same dividend and voting rights as common stock, while stock options do not have such rights.

All awards are issued at fair value of the underlying shares at the grant date. The Company expenses the cost of the awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the awards at the date of grant.

The Company granted 6,000 stock options during the six months ended March 31, 2023. The Company did not grant any stock options during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2022. There were no stock options forfeited or expired for the ~~same~~three and six month periods ended ~~December~~March 31,2023. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, ~~and~~ ~~2021,~~ ~~respectively.~~ 2,000 stock options were forfeited.Total compensation expense related to stock options granted under the 2014 Plan was $7,000 and $16,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 respectively, and $9,000 and $18,000 for the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, 2022, ~~and~~ ~~2021,~~respectively.

The Company awarded ~~2,758~~10,937 shares of restricted stock during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 ~~There were no~~and 5,131 shares of restricted stock ~~awarded for~~during the ~~same period~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. There were zero and ~~1,216~~2,336 restricted shares forfeited for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~ March 31, ~~2022~~ 2023and ~~December 31, 2021,~~ 2022,respectively. The compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was ~~$44,000~~$43,000 and ~~$43,000~~$86,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, and $47,000 and $86,000 for the three and sixmonths ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2022. ~~and~~3,979 unrestricted shares were issued at a cost of $71,000 for the ~~2021,~~six ~~respectively.~~months ended March 31, 2023.

Table of Contents

Stock-based compensation expense for the cost of the restricted stock awards granted is based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option awards, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options granted but are not considered by the model. Accordingly, while management believes that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model provides a reasonable estimate of fair value, the model does not necessarily provide the best single measure of fair value for the Company’s employee stock options.

Note 15 - Contingencies

On January 25, 2021, the Company received notice that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) was conducting a non-public investigation (the “Non-Public Investigation”). As part of the Non-Public Investigation, the SEC subpoenaed documents relating to five commercial loans extended by Malvern Bank in July 2016, July 2017, March 2017, and April 2017, two of which were previously subject to prior period restatements made by the Company in 2020 and 2021.

In April 2023, the Company and its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) reached agreements in principle with the SEC Staff to settle, without admitting or denying, potential charges against the Company arising out of the Non-Public Investigation and to pay civil money penalties of $350,000 and $40,000, respectively. The Company, the CFO, and the SEC Staff are working to document the proposed settlements, which are subject to approval by the SEC Commissioners. There can be no assurance that the settlements will be finalized and approved by the SEC Commissioners or that any final settlements will not have different terms. No formal charges have been issued against the Company or its officers in connection with the Non-Public Investigation, nor have the Company or the CFO received a “Wells” notice. The Company has recorded a $350,000 contingent liability, referred to as a non-recurring expense in the accompanying unaudited financial statements, as of March 31, 2023, related to this Non-Public Investigation.

In addition to the foregoing, the Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time parties to lawsuits and involved in ongoing routine legal proceedings related to their operations. When the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability representing the best estimate of the Company’s financial exposure based on known facts will be recorded. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded.

Note 16 - Subsequent Events

On May 5, 2023, the Bank took action to reduce overall exposure to a $4.0 million corporate debt security of a regional bank held in its available-for-sale portfolio, which had been impacted by recent market volatility. The security was carried at fair market value at the March 31, 2023 quarter end with an unrealized loss of $1,110,000. The Bank sold $2.0 million worth of the $4.0 million corporate debt security, which resulted in an after-tax loss of $912,000 that will be reflected in the June 30, 2023 financial statements. The remaining unrealized loss still held will be evaluated for other than temporary impairment as of June 30, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to GAAP. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated statements of financial condition and for the periods indicated in the statements of net income. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of financial condition and results of operations. The Company has identified the determination of the ALLL, loans held for sale, fair value measurements, the evaluation of deferred tax assets, the other-than-temporary impairment evaluation of securities, and the valuation of our derivative positions to be critical because management must make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available. Additional information on these policies can be found in the Company’s ~~2022~~2023 Annual Report and Note 2 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s Critical Accounting Policies as described in its ~~2022~~2023 Annual Report.

Liquidity Sources

Management has reviewed all primary and secondary sources of liquidity in preparation for any unforeseen funding needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and prioritized such sources based on available capacity, term flexibility, and cost. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had adequate sources of liquidity.

Capital Strength

The Bank’s capital ratios continued to exceed the highest required regulatory benchmark levels. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was ~~19.69%~~20.05%, Tier 1 leverage ratio was ~~16.53%~~17.01%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was ~~19.69%~~20.05% and the total risk-based capital ratio was ~~20.77%~~21.13%.

Deferral and Modification Requests

The CARES Act provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act and related regulatory guidance if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had ~~three~~two COVID-19 modified loans totaling ~~$31.8~~$26.6 million, representing ~~3.94~~3.34 percent of loans outstanding as of such date. The COVID-19 loan modifications do not classify as TDRs as they fall under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended, and further details regarding these modifications are provided in the table below. For loans subject to the program, each borrower is required to resume making regularly scheduled loan payments at the end of the modification period and the deferred amounts will be moved to the end of the loan term.

Results of Operations

Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2023 amounted to $571,000, or $0.08 per fully diluted common share, an increase of $49,000, or 9.5%, as compared with net income of $522,000, or $0.07 per fully diluted common share, for the three month period ended March 31, 2022. This increase in net income and diluted earnings per share was due to an increase of $122,000, or 21.7%, in total other income, driven by higher earnings on bank owned life insurance of $90,000, and higher service charges and other fees of $37,000. Also impacting net income was a $389,000 reduction in total other expense, driven by a reduction of $1.8 million, or 72.1%, in other operating expense, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $395,000 valuation allowance and $1.3 million in real estate tax expense on loans held for sale. These were offset by $550,000 of nonrecurring expenses, $492,000 of merger related expenses and an increase of $220,000 in salaries and employee benefit expenses. These expense items were offset by $380,000 decrease in net interest income, driven by a higher average cost of total interest bearing liabilities of $2.6 million partially offset by a higher yield on total interest earning assets of $2.2 million. Annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 0.23 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared to 0.18 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) was 1.53 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, compared with 1.43% for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2023 amounted to ~~$1.9~~$2.5 million, or ~~$0.25~~$0.33 per fully diluted common share, a decrease of ~~$109,000~~$60,000, or ~~5.4%~~2.4%, as compared with net income of ~~$2.0~~$2.5 million, or ~~$0.27~~$0.34 per fully diluted common share, for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. This decrease in net income and diluted earnings per share was ~~primarily~~ due to a decrease in other income of $188,000, or 14.6%, combined with an increase in other operating expenses driven by merger related expenses incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2022. Total other income decreased $242,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021 mainlyof $77,000, or 0.6%, primarily due to decreased prepayment penalties and service ~~charges. Partially offsetting~~charges on loans during the six months ended March 31, 2023. Offsetting these items was a ~~$596,000~~$216,000, or 1.5%, increase toin net interest income ~~during~~income for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022 due to rate related factors.~~ 2023 driven by higher average yields on interest earning assets of $3.7 million, or 21.8%, partially offset by a $3.5 million, or 116.7%, increase in average cost of total interest bearing liabilities. The annualized ~~return on average assets~~ROAA was ~~0.75%~~0.49% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~,2023, compared to annualized ~~return on average assets~~ROAA of ~~0.69%~~0.45% for ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021. The annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was 5.14% for the three months ended~~ ~~December 31, 2022, compared to 5.61% in annualized return on average shareholders’ equity for the~~ ~~three months ended December 31, 2021~~. 2022.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid

The following table shows for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the ~~NIM~~net interest margin (“NIM”) (net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets). All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be. Quarterly rates, yields, spreads, and margins throughout this MD&A are calculated on an annualized basis where appropriate. No tax equivalent adjustments have been made as the amounts are not material.

Loan Portfolio

The Company’s loan portfolio consists of residential, construction and development, commercial, and consumer loans, serving the diverse customer base in its market area. The composition of the Company’s portfolio continues to change due to local competition. Factors such as the economic climate, interest rates, real estate values and employment all contribute to changes in the composition of the Company’s portfolio. Any growth of the loan portfolio is generated through business development efforts, repeat customer requests for new financings, penetration into existing markets, and entry into new markets.

The Company seeks to create growth in commercial lending, which primarily includes commercial real estate, multi-family, farmland, and commercial and industrial lending, by offering customer-focused products and competitive pricing and by capitalizing on the positive trends in its market area. Products offered are designed to meet the financial requirements of the Company’s customers. It is the objective of the Company’s credit policies to diversify the commercial loan portfolio and limit concentrations in any single industry.

~~Total gross~~ Net loans, which excludes loans held-for-sale, decreased by ~~$3.0~~$15.9 million, or 2.0%, to ~~$807.4~~$786.0 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023, when compared to September 30, 2022. ~~Construction~~The decrease was driven by decrease in construction loans ~~decreased~~ by ~~$1.5~~$5.4 million, ~~commercial~~or 21.7%, residential loans ~~decreased~~ by ~~$1.1~~$12.2 million, or 6.9%, and consumer loans ~~declined~~ by ~~$600,000, and residential loans increased~~$974,000, or 4.9%, partially offset by ~~$250,000,~~an increase of $2.8 million, or 0.5%, in ~~each case, at December 31, 2022 when compared to September 30, 2022.~~

At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 the Company had ~~$111.4~~$136.8 million in overall undisbursed loan commitments, which consisted primarily of available usage from active construction facilities, unused commercial lines of credit, and home equity lines of credit.

Average loan balances of our total loans decreased ~~$89.2~~$39.0 million or ~~9.8%~~4.6%, for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023 as compared to the same period in fiscal year ~~2021,~~2022, while the average yield on loans increased by 84101 basis points for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023 compared ~~with~~to the same period in fiscal year ~~2021.~~2022. The decrease in average total loan volume was primarily due to increased paydowns and payoff activity. During the three month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to 2022, the rate-related factors increased interest income on loans by $2.4 million while the volume related factors decreased interest income $226,000 during the period.

Average loan balances decreased $64.4 million, or 7.3%, for the six months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2022, while the average yield on loans increased by 93 basis points for the six months ended March 31, 2023, compared with the same period in fiscal year 2022. The decrease in average total loan volume was primarily due to increased paydowns and payoff activity. During the six month period ended March 31, 2023 compared to 2022, the rate-related factors increased interest income on loans by $3.8 million while the volume related factors decreased interest income $1.2 million during the period.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision

The ALLL provides an estimate of probable but unconfirmed losses in the loan portfolio as of the financial statement date. Additions to the ALLL are made through provisions charged against current operations and through recoveries made on loans previously charged-off. The ALLL is maintained at an amount considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio based upon a periodic evaluation of the portfolio’s risk characteristics. In establishing an appropriate ALLL, an assessment of the individual borrowers, a determination of the value of the underlying collateral, a review of historical loss experience and an analysis of the levels and trends of loan categories, delinquencies and problem loans are considered. Such qualitative factors as changes in lending policies and procedures, economic and business conditions, nature and volume of the portfolio, changes in delinquency, concentration of credit trends, value of underlying collateral, the level and trend of interest rates and peer group statistics are also reviewed. Given the economic volatility impacting national, regional, and local markets, the Company’s analysis of its ALLL takes into consideration the potential impact that current trends may have on the Company’s borrower base.

Although management uses the best information reasonably available to management, the level of the ALLL remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Our regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ALLL. Our regulators may require the Company to increase the ALLL based on their analysis of information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey and the State of Pennsylvania. Future adjustments to the ALLL may be necessary due to economic factors impacting New Jersey and Pennsylvania real estate and the economy in general, as well as operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Company’s control.

The ~~allowance for loan losses~~ALLL at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 amounted to $9.1 million, or ~~1.13%~~1.15% of total gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, compared to $9.1 million, or 1.12% of total gross loans excluding loans held-for-sale, at September 30, 2022. The Company did not record a provision for loan losses for the quarters ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 or ~~2021.~~ 2022. Net charge-offs were ~~($9,000) and $1.0 million~~were $1,000 for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 while net recoveries were $8,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2023. Net charge-offs were $736,000 and ~~2021,~~$2.2 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, respectively. The decrease is reflective of ~~there not being any charge offs~~low charge-offs recorded during the ~~December 2022~~March 31, 2023 period.

We ~~will~~may continue to experience periodic charge-offs in the future as exit strategies with respect to certain of our loans are considered and ~~executed, in particular as it relates to our clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.~~executed. Loans with previously established specific reserves may ultimately result in a charge-off under a variety of scenarios. The level of the ALLL for the respective periods reflects the credit quality within the loan portfolio, the loan volume recorded or lost during the periods, the changing composition of the commercial and residential real estate loan portfolios and other related factors. In management’s view, the level of the ALLL at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 was adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Actual results could differ materially from management’s analysis, based principally upon the factors considered by management in establishing the ALLL.

Asset Quality

The Company manages asset quality and credit risk by maintaining diversification in its loan portfolio and through review processes that include analysis of credit requests and ongoing examination of outstanding loans, delinquencies, and potential problem loans, with particular attention to the loan portfolio’s dynamics and mix of assets. The Company endeavors to identify loans experiencing difficulty early in the process in an attempt to correct the problems, to record charge-offs promptly based on realistic assessments of current collateral values and cash flows, and to maintain an adequate ALLL at all times.

It is generally the Company’s policy to discontinue interest accruals once a loan is past due as to interest or principal payments for a period of 90 days. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease, and uncollected accrued interest is reversed and charged against current income. Payments received on non-accrual loans are applied against principal. A loan may only be restored to an accruing basis when it again becomes well-secured, all past due amounts have been collected and a satisfactory period of ongoing repayments exists. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more are generally well-secured and in the process of collection.

Non-Performing Assets, OREO and Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more. Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been suspended. It is the Company’s general policy to consider the charge-off of loans at the point they become past due in excess of 90 days, with the exception of loans that are both well-secured and in the process of collection.

TDR loans represent loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties on which a concession was granted, such as a reduction in interest rate which is lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risks, or modified repayment terms, and are performing under the restructured terms. Such loans, as long as they are performing in accordance with their restructured terms, are not included within the Company’s non-performing loans. For additional information regarding loans, see Note 7 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table sets forth, as of the dates indicated, the amount of the Company’s non-accrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more ~~OREO~~ and ~~performing TDR loans:~~OREO:

Non-accrual loans totaled ~~$1.3~~$1.0 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and $753,000 at September 30, 2022. The increase in non-accrual loans was primarily due to addition of two residential loans with a combined carrying value of $569,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2023 which was offset in part by two residential loans with a combined carrying value of $187,000 moving out of non-accrual status as they were sold through foreclosure, and one consumer loan with a carrying value of $35,000 returning to accrual status during the quarter. OREO was $200,000 at March 31, 2023 compared to $259,000 at September 30, 2022. The adjustment to the fair value of the OREO was based on a contract for sale of the property that was executed during the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022. OREO was $259,000 at both December 31, 2022,~~2023 and ~~September~~expected to settle during the third fiscal quarter ending June 30, ~~2022. Performing TDR~~2023.

Troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) loans were ~~$10.1~~$11.0 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023, and ~~$4.8~~$6.1 million at September 30, 2022. The increase is primarily related to one ~~additional~~ new ~~TDR~~$4.8 million commercial and industrial loan ~~at a carrying value of $4.8 million~~that was modified during the ~~December 31, 2022~~ period.

Credit quality risk ratings include categories of “pass,” “special mention,” “substandard” and “doubtful.” Assets classified as “pass” are those protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. Assets which do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess certain identified weaknesses are required to be designated as “special mention.” If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the Company will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified as “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.”

Special mention loans amounted to ~~$32.5~~$27.1 million and $32.7 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022 respectively. Substandard loans were $11.3 million and $11.4 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022, , respectively. Our loans that have been identified as special mention or substandard are considered potential problem loans due to a variety of changing conditions affecting the credits, including general economic conditions and/or conditions applicable to the specific borrowers.

Asset and Liability Management

Asset and liability management encompasses an analysis of market risk, the control of interest rate risk (interest sensitivity management) and the ongoing maintenance and planning of liquidity and capital. The composition of the Company’s statement of condition is planned and monitored by the Company’s Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”). In general, management’s objective is to optimize net interest income and minimize market risk and interest rate risk by monitoring the components of the statement of condition and the interaction of interest rates.

Short-term interest rate exposure analysis is supplemented with an interest sensitivity gap model. The Company utilizes interest sensitivity analysis to measure the responsiveness of net interest income to changes in interest rate levels. Interest rate risk arises when an earning asset matures or when its interest rate changes in a time period different than that of a supporting interest-bearing liability, or when an interest-bearing liability matures or when its interest rate changes in a time period different than that of an earning asset that it supports. While the Company matches only a small portion of specific assets and liabilities, total earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are grouped to determine the overall interest rate risk within a number of specific time frames. The difference between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities is referred to as the interest sensitivity gap. At any given point in time, the Company may be in an asset-sensitive position, whereby its interest-sensitive assets exceed its interest-sensitive liabilities, or in a liability-sensitive position, whereby its interest-sensitive liabilities exceed its interest-sensitive assets, depending in part on management’s judgment as to projected interest rate trends.

The Company’s interest rate sensitivity position in each time frame may be expressed as assets less liabilities, as liabilities less assets, or as the ratio between rate sensitive assets (“RSA”) and rate sensitive liabilities (“RSL”). For example, a short-funded position (liabilities repricing before assets) would be expressed as a net negative position, when period gaps are computed by subtracting repricing liabilities from repricing assets. When using the ratio method, an RSA/RSL ratio of 1 indicates a balanced position, a ratio greater than 1 indicates an asset-sensitive position and a ratio less than 1 indicates a liability-sensitive position.

A negative gap and/or a rate sensitivity ratio less than 1 tends to expand NIMs in a falling rate environment and reduce NIMs in a rising rate environment. Conversely, when a positive gap occurs, generally margins expand in a rising rate environment and contract in a falling rate environment. From time to time, the Company may elect to deliberately mismatch liabilities and assets in a strategic gap position.

At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company reflected a positive interest sensitivity gap with an interest sensitivity ratio of ~~1.11:~~1.25:1.00 at the cumulative one-year position. Based on current rising interest rate environment, that at the current time is estimated to continue through the first half of calendar year 2023, emphasis will be on controlling liability costs and duration in our efforts to insulate the net interest spread for a potential future decline in rates.

Estimates of Fair Value

The estimation of fair value is significant to a number of the Company’s assets, including loans held for sale, investment securities available-for-sale and loan swaps. These are all recorded at either fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values are volatile and may be influenced by a number of factors. Circumstances that could cause estimates of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities to change include a change in prepayment speeds, discount rates, or market interest rates. Fair values for most available-for-sale investment securities are based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic condition, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Liquidity

The liquidity position of the Company is dependent primarily on successful management of the Bank’s assets and liabilities so as to meet the needs of both deposit and credit customers. Liquidity needs arise principally to accommodate possible deposit outflows and to meet customers’ requests for loans. Scheduled principal loan repayments, maturing investments, short-term liquid assets, and deposit inflows can satisfy such needs. The objective of liquidity management is to enable the Company to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Management monitors current and projected cash flows and adjusts positions as necessary to maintain adequate levels of liquidity. Under its liquidity risk management program, the Company regularly monitors correspondent bank funding exposure and credit exposure in accordance with guidelines issued by the banking regulatory authorities. Management uses a variety of potential funding sources and staggering maturities to reduce the risk of potential funding pressure. Management also maintains a detailed contingency funding plan designed to adequately respond to situations which could lead to stresses on liquidity. Management believes that the Company has the funding capacity to meet the liquidity needs arising from potential events. The Company maintains borrowing capacity through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh secured with loans and marketable securities.

Table of Contents

The Company’s primary sources of short-term liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale.

Additionally, liquidity is derived from scheduled loan payments of principal and interest, as well as prepayments received. As a contingency plan for any liquidity constraints, liquidity could also be derived from the sale of conforming residential mortgages from our loan portfolio from the temporary curtailment of lending activities. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, the Company had ~~$35.0~~$31.5 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to ~~$50.4~~$53.3 million at September 30, 2022. ~~In addition, our~~Our available for sale investment securities amounted to ~~$50.4~~$48.2 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022 and~~2023 compared to $49.8 million at September 30, 2022.In addition, the Company had $150 million FHLB line of credit available for both periods ended March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

Deposits

Total deposits decreased ~~$47.9~~$45.1 million, or ~~6.1~~5.7 percent, from $785.3 million at September 30, 2022 to ~~$737.4~~$740.2 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022.~~2023. The decrease in deposits was primarily related to a reduction of ~~$28.8~~$26.0 million in money market deposits and ~~$7.2~~$13.6 million in interest-bearing demand deposits, a ~~$7.0~~$8.4 million decline in non-interest-bearing deposits and a decrease of ~~$3.4~~$2.4 million in savings, partially offset by an increase of $5.2 million in time deposits. Non-interest-bearing core deposits; interest-bearing core deposits, savings, money market; and time deposits represent approximately 7%, ~~73%~~72%, and ~~20%~~21% of total deposits, respectively, as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022.~~2023.

~~Total interest-bearing deposits decreased $40.9 million from $727.3 million at September 30, 2022 to $686.4 million at December 31, 2022.~~ Time deposits $250,000 and over decreased ~~$7.3~~ $5.2 million as compared to September 30, 2022. Time deposits $250,000 and over represented ~~7.5%~~7.8% of total deposits at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 compared to 8.0% at September 30, 2022. Brokered deposits ~~remained~~were $21.6 million and $19.1 at ~~$9.1 million at both December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, ~~2022.~~2022

respectively. Estimated uninsured deposits (in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit) were $193.1 million and $169.8 million at March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022 respectively. At those dates, the Bank had no deposits that were otherwise uninsured.

The Company continues to focus on the maintenance and development of its deposit base to align with its funding requirements and liquidity needs, but with an emphasis on serving the needs of its communities to provide a long-term relationship base to efficiently compete for and retain deposits in its market.

The following table depicts the Company’s deposits classified by type, with percentages to total deposits, at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2022~~2023 and September 30, 2022:

Item 1A - Risk Factors

For a summary of risk factors relevant to the Company, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the ~~2022~~2023 Annual Report. ~~There are no~~The following represents a material ~~changes to the~~change in our risk factors ~~as previously~~from those disclosed ~~under the section titled “Risk Factors”~~ in Part I - Item 1A, ~~of our 2022~~“ Risk Factors” in the 2023 Annual Report. Additional risks not presently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also adversely affect the business, financial condition or results of operations.

Adverse developments affecting the banking industry, and resulting media coverage, have eroded customer confidence in the banking system and could have a material effect on the Company’s operations and/or stock price.

The recent high-profile bank failures and related negative media attention have generated significant market volatility among publicly-traded bank holding companies and, in particular, regional, as well as community banks like the Company. These market developments have negatively impacted customer confidence in the safety and soundness of regional and community banks. As a result, customers may choose to withdraw their deposits and maintain such deposits with larger financial institutions or invest in higher yielding short-term fixed income securities, all of which could materially adversely impact our liquidity, cost of funding, loan funding capacity, NIM, capital and results of operations. If we were required to sell a portion of our securities portfolio to address liquidity needs, we may incur losses, including as a result of the negative impact of rising interest rates on the value of our securities portfolio, which could negatively affect our earnings and our capital. There is no guarantee that any anticipatory or mitigating actions we may take will be successful or sufficient in the event of sudden liquidity needs.

In connection with the high-profile bank failures mentioned above, uncertainty and concern have been, and may be in the future, compounded by advances in technology that increase the speed at which deposits can be moved, as well as the speed and reach of media attention, including social media, and its ability to disseminate concerns or rumors, in each case potentially exacerbating liquidity concerns. While the Department of the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and the FDIC have made statements ensuring that depositors of recently failed banks would have access to their deposits, including uninsured deposit accounts, there is no guarantee that such actions will be successful in restoring customer confidence in regional and community banks and the banking system more broadly, nor is there a guarantee that such regulators will make these same assurances with respect to any additional banks that might fail. In addition, the banking operating environment and public trading prices of banking institutions can be highly correlated, in particular during times of stress, which could adversely impact the trading prices of our common stock and potentially our results of operations. Furthermore, while the Federal Reserve Board has announced a Bank Term Funding Program available to eligible depository institutions secured by U.S. treasuries, agency debt and mortgage-backed securities, and other qualifying assets as collateral at par, to mitigate the risk of potential losses on the sale of such instruments, there is no guarantee that such programs will be effective in addressing liquidity needs as they arise.
