NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations - FS Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in September 2011 as the holding company for 1st Security Bank of Washington (the “Bank” or “1st Security Bank”) in connection with the Bank’s conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership which was completed on July 9, 2012. The Bank is a community-based savings bank with 21 full-service bank branches, a headquarters that also originates loans and accepts deposits, and loan production offices in suburban communities in the greater Puget Sound area, the Tri-Cities, and our newest loan production office in Vancouver, Washington. The Bank provides loan and deposit services to customers who are predominantly small- and middle-market businesses and individuals. The Company and its subsidiary are subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examination by these regulatory agencies.

Financial Statement Presentation - The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It is recommended that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K with all of the audited financial statements and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 16, 2022. In the opinion of management, all normal adjustments and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.

The results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022, or any other future period. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses, fair value of financial instruments, the valuation of servicing rights, deferred income taxes, and if needed, a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements and footnote tables are rounded and presented to the nearest thousands of dollars except per share amounts. If the amounts are above $1.0 million, they are rounded one decimal point, and if they are above $1.0 billion, they are rounded two decimal points.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FS Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, 1st Security Bank of Washington. All material intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Segment Reporting - The Company operates in 2two business segments through the Bank: commercial and consumer banking and home lending. The Company’s business segments are determined based on the products and services provided, as well as the nature of the related business activities, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is regularly reviewed for the purpose of allocating resources and evaluating performance of the Company’s businesses. The results for these business segments are based on management’s accounting process, which assigns income statement items and assets to each responsible operating segment. This process is dynamic and is based on management’s view of the Company’s operations. See “Note 15 - Business Segments.”

Subsequent Events -- On November 5, 2022, 1st Security Bank of Washington, a wholly owned subsidiary of FS Bancorp, Inc. entered into a purchase and assumption agreement to acquire seven Columbia State Bank branches in Lincoln, Malheur, Tillamook counties in Oregon and Klickitat County, Washington. The Company has evaluated eventsbranches are being divested by Columbia State Bank in connection with its merger of its parent corporation, Columbia Banking Systems, Inc. with Umpqua Holdings Corporation. These branches have approximately $510 million in deposits and transactions subsequent$76 million in associated loans. The transaction, which is expected to June 30, 2022 for potential recognition or disclosure.be completed in the first quarter of 2023, is subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions and adjustments.

Error Corrections -  The Company has evaluated error corrections in earnings per share and deposits as follows:

Earnings Per Share

Prior presentations of earnings per share were revised due to the improper inclusion of certain unvested shares in the denominator of basic and diluted earnings per share. As a result of the inclusion, earnings per share was understated for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021. Basic earnings per share for those periods was updated to $1.02$1.01 and $2.42,$3.43, respectively, from $1.00$0.99 and $2.39,$3.38, as previously reported. Diluted earnings per share was updated to $0.98 and $2.35,$3.31, respectively, from $0.97 and $2.32$3.30 as previously reported.

Management evaluated the materiality of this error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives and concluded that the error was immaterial to the prior period financial statements taken as a whole. Consequently, the financial statements for the prior periods include the impact of the correction of the error, and prior period financial statements have not been restated. The error correction did not affect total assets, net income, or cash flows for the periods.

Deposits

Prior presentation of interest-bearing checking balances was revised due to the misclassification of certain checking products in previous periods.  As a result of the misclassification, an interest-bearing checking balancesbalance of $121.2 million at December 31, 2021, was reclassified to noninterest-bearing checking for comparative purposes.  

Management evaluated the materiality of this error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives and concluded that the error was immaterial to the prior period financial statements taken as a whole. Consequently, the financial statements for the prior periods include the impact of the correction of the error, and prior period financial statements have not been restated. The error correction did not affect total assets, net income, or cash flows for the periods.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform” (“Topic 848”). This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU apply to contract modifications to agreements (e.g., loans, debt securities, derivatives, borrowings) that replace a reference rate affected by reference rate reform (including rates referenced in fallback provisions) and contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of the reference rate (including contract modifications to add or change fallback provisions). The following optional expedients for applying the requirements of certain Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification are permitted for contracts that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance: 1) Modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate; 2) Modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 840, Leases, and 842, Leases, should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate (for example, the incremental borrowing rate) or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required under those Topics for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts; and 3) Modifications of contracts do not require an entity to reassess its original conclusion about whether that contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract under Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging - Embedded Derivatives. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 updated amendments in the new ASU to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments in this ASU  and the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. An entity may elect to apply the amendments in this ASU on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the effective dates.  The amendments in this ASU have differing effective dates, beginning with an interim period including and subsequent to March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

11

Table of Contents

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method.  The purpose of this ASU is to further align risk management objectives with hedge accounting results on the application of the last-of-layer method, which was first introduced in ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.  ASU 2022-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  For entities who have already adopted ASU 2017-12, like the Company, immediate adoption is allowed.  ASU 2022-01 requires a modified retrospective transition method for basis adjustments in which the entity will recognize the cumulative effect of the change on the opening balance of each affected component of equity in the statement of financial position as of the date of adoption.  The Company adopted this ASU on April 1, 2022, on a prospective basis; therefore, there was no impact to the consolidated financial statements.

11

Table of Contents

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors, requires new disclosures for creditors for certain loan refinancings and restructurings when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and requires public business entities to include current-period gross write-offs in the vintage disclosure tables. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Since the Company previously adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13, which is commonly referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology, on January 1, 2022, this ASU can be adopted early.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2022-02.

Application of New Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2022

On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology that delays recognition until it is probable a loss has been incurred with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor in accordance with Topic 842 on leases. Additionally, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities management does not intend to sell or believes that is more likely than not they will be required to sell.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022 are presented under ASC 326. The adoption resulted in a decrease of $2.9 million to our allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”), an increase of $2.4 million to our allowance for unfunded commitments and letters of credit, an increase of $72,000 to our allowance for held-to-maturity securities, and a net-of-tax cumulative-effect adjustment of $297,000 to increase the beginning balance of retained earnings.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Held-to-Maturity Securities

Management measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities by individual security. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities totaling $117,000$119,000 at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, is recorded in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets andwas excluded from the estimate of credit losses.losses used to calculate the allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). The estimate of expected credit losses considers credit ratings and historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The held-to-maturity portfolio consists entirely of corporate securities. Securities are generally rated BBB- or higher. Securities are analyzed individually to establish a CECL reserve.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Available-for-Sale Securities

For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, management first assesses whether it intends to sell, or is more likely than not to be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available-for-sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”)ACL is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value

13

Table of Contents

is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an ACL is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”).

13

Table of Contents

Changes in the ACL are recorded as a provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities totaled $1.2totaling $1.8 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, is recorded in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is not includedwas excluded in the estimate of credit losses.losses used to calculate the ACL.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The allowance for credit losses on loans (‘ACLL”)ACLL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed and recoveries are credited to the allowance when received. The Company may also account for expected recoveries should information of an anticipated recovery become available. In the case of actual or expected recoveries, amounts may not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged off.

Management utilizes relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, historical loss experience, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The lookback period in the analysis includes historical data from 2009 to present. Adjustments to historical loss information are made when management determines historical data is not likely reflective of the current portfolio such as limited data sets or lack of default or loss history. Management may selectively apply external market data to subjectively adjust the Company’s own loss history including index or peer data. Accrued interest receivable totaling $7.2$8.3 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, was reported in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and was excluded from the estimate of credit losses for loans.loans used to calculate the ACLL.

Collective Assessment

The ACLL is measured on a collective cohort basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Generally, collectively assessed loans are grouped by call report code and then risk-grade grouping. Risk grade is grouped within each call report code by pass, watch, special mention, substandard, and doubtful. Other loan types are separated into their own cohorts due to specific risk characteristics for that pool of loans.  

The Company has elected a nondiscounted cash flow methodology with probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) for all call report code cohorts (“cohorts”), with the exception of the indirect and marine portfolios which are evaluated under a vintage methodology. Guaranteed portions of loans are measured with zero risk due to cash collateral and full guaranty.

The PD calculation looks at the historical loan portfolio at particular points in time (each month during the lookback period) to determine the probability that loans in a certain cohort will default over the next 12-month period. A default is defined as a loan that has moved to past due 90 days and greater, nonaccrual status, or experienced a charge-off during the period. In cohorts where the Company’s historical data are insufficient due to a minimal amount of default activity or zero defaults, management uses index PDs comprised of rates derived from the PD experience of other community banks in place of the Company’s historical PDs. Additionally, management reviews all other cohorts to determine if index PDs should be used outside of these criteria.  

The LGD calculation looks at actual losses (net charge-offs) experienced over the entire lookback period for each cohort of loans. The aggregate loss amount is divided by the exposure at default to determine an LGD rate. All defaults (non-accrual, charge-off, or greater than 90-days90 days past due) occurring during the lookback period are included in the denominator, whether a loss occurred or not and exposure at default is determined by the loan balance immediately preceding the default event (i.e. nonaccrual or charge-off). Due to very limited charge-off history, management uses index LGDs comprised of rates derived from the LGD experience of other community banks in place of the Company’s historical LGDs.

The Company utilizes reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions when estimating the ACLL. The calculation includes a 12-month PD forecast based on the Company’s regression model comparing peer nonperforming loan ratios to the national unemployment rate and other forecast data. After the forecast period, PD rates revert on a straight-line basis back to long-term historical average rates over a 12-month period.

Table of Contents

The Company recognizes that all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio must be considered to determine the estimated credit losses as of the evaluation date. Furthermore, the methodology, in and of itself and even when selectively adjusted by comparison to market and peer data, does not provide a sufficient basis to determine the estimated credit losses. The Company adjusts the modeled historical losses by a Qualitative and Environmental adjustment to incorporate all significant risks to form a sufficient basis to estimate the credit losses.

Table of Contents

Individual Assessment

Loans classified as nonaccrual, troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”),TDR, or reasonably expected TDR will be reviewed quarterly for potential individual assessment. Any loan that is being considered for modification and expected to result in a TDR is identified as a reasonably expected TDR.  Any loan classified as a nonaccrual or TDR that is not determined to need individual assessment will be evaluated collectively within its respective cohort. All reasonably expected TDR loans will be evaluated individually to account for expected modifications in loan terms.  

Where the primary and/or expected source of repayment of a specific loan is believed to be the future liquidation of available collateral, impairment will generally be measured based upon expected future collateral proceeds, net of disposition expenses including sales commissions as well as other costs potentially necessary to sell the asset(s) (i.e. past due taxes, liens, etc.). Estimates of future collateral proceeds will be based upon available appraisals, reference to recent valuations of comparable properties, use of consultants or other professionals with relevant market and/or property-specific knowledge, and any other sources of information believed appropriate by management under the specific circumstances. When appraisals are ordered to support the impairment analysis of an impaired loan, the appraisal is reviewed by the Company’s internal appraisal reviewer.

Where the primary and/or expected source of repayment of a specific loan is believed to be the receipt of principal and interest payments from the borrower and/or the refinancing of the loan by another creditor, impairment will generally be measured based upon the present value of expected proceeds discounted at the contractual interest rate. Expected refinancing proceeds may be estimated from review of term sheets actually received by the borrower from other creditors and/or from the Company’s knowledge of terms generally available from other banks.

Determining the Contractual Term

Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a TDR will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Company. Prepayment assumptions will be determined by analysis of historical behavior by loan cohort.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered to be a TDR. Any loan that is being considered for modification and expected to result in a TDR is identified as a reasonably expected TDR. Reasonably expected TDRs are assessed in the CECL calculation utilizing their expected modified terms. The ACL on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except that the original interest rate is used to discount the expected cash flows when a rate modification has occurred.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Unfunded Commitments

The Company estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The ACL on unfunded commitments is adjusted through a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The estimate utilizes the same factors and assumptions as the allowance for credit losses on loansACLL and is applied at the same collective cohort level.

Table of Contents

There were 148130 available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses of less than one year, and 3967 available-for-sale securities with an unrealized loss of more than one year at JuneSeptember 30, 2022. There were 75 available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses of less than one year, and 17 available-for-sale securities with an unrealized loss of more than one year at December 31, 2021. The unrealized losses associated with these securities are believed to be caused by changing market conditions that are considered to be temporary and the Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not likely to be required to sell these securities prior to maturity.  Management monitors the published credit ratings of the issuers of the debt securities for material ratings or outlook changes.  Substantially, all of the Company’s municipal bond portfolio is comprised of obligations of states and political subdivisions located within the Company’s geographic footprint that are monitored through quarterly or annual financial review.  

All of the available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Small Business Administration securities in an unrealized loss position are issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored enterprises, and the available-for-sale corporate securities are all investment grade and monitored for rating or outlook changes. Based on the Company’s evaluation of these securities, 0no credit impairment was recorded for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, or for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The contractual maturities of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are listed below. Expected maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay the obligations; therefore, these securities are classified separately with no specific maturity date.

The 3three loan portfolio segments are: (a) Real Estate Loans, (b) Consumer Loans, and (c) Commercial Business Loans. Each of these segments is disaggregated into classes based on the risk characteristics of the borrower and/or the collateral type securing the loan. The following is a summary of each of the Company’s loan portfolio segments and classes:

20

Table of Contents

Real Estate Loans

Commercial Lending. Loans originated by the Company primarily secured by income producing properties, including retail centers, warehouses, and office buildings located in our market areas.

Construction and Development Lending. Loans originated by the Company for the construction of, and secured by, commercial real estate, one-to-four-family, and multi-family residences and tracts of land for development that are not pre-sold. A portion of the one-to-four-family construction portfolio is custom construction loans to the intended occupant of the residence.

Home Equity Lending. Loans originated by the Company secured by second mortgages on one-to-four-family residences, including home equity lines of credit in our market areas.

One-to-Four-Family Real Estate Lending. One-to-four-family residential loans include owner occupied properties (including second homes), and non-owner-occupied properties with four or less units. These loans originated by the Company or periodically purchased from banks are secured by first mortgages on one-to-four-family residences in our market areas that the Company intends to hold (excludes loans held for sale).

Multi-Family Lending. Apartment term lending (5(five or more units) to current banking customers and community reinvestment loans for low to moderate income individuals in the Company’s footprint.

Consumer Loans

Indirect Home Improvement. Fixture secured loans for home improvement are originated by the Company through its network of home improvement contractors and dealers and are secured by the personal property installed in, on, or at the borrower’s real property, and may be perfected with a UCC-2 financing statement filed in the county of the borrower’s residence. These indirect home improvement loans include replacement windows, siding, roofing, pools, spas, and other home fixture installations, including solar related home improvement projects.

Marine. Loans originated by the Company, secured by boats, to borrowers primarily located in the states the Company originates consumer loans.

Other Consumer. Loans originated by the Company to consumers in our retail branch footprint, including automobiles, recreational vehicles, direct home improvement loans, loans on deposits, and other consumer loans, primarily consisting of personal lines of credit and credit cards.

Commercial Business Loans

Commercial and Industrial Lending (“C&I”). Loans originated by the Company to local small- and mid-sized businesses in our Puget Sound market area are secured primarily by accounts receivable, inventory, or personal property, plant and equipment. Some of the C&I loans purchased by the Company are outside of the greater Puget Sound market area.  C&I loans are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business.  PPP loans originated by the Company are also included in this loan class.

Warehouse Lending. Loans originated to non-depository financial institutions and secured by notes originated by the non-depository financial institution.  The Company has 2two distinct warehouse lending divisions: commercial warehouse re-lending secured by notes on construction loans and mortgage warehouse re-lending secured by notes on one-to-four-family loans.  The Company’s commercial construction warehouse lines are secured by notes on construction loans and typically guaranteed by principals with experience in construction lending.  Mortgage warehouse lending loans are funded through third-party residential mortgage bankers.  Under this program the Company provides short-term funding to the mortgage banking companies for the purpose of originating residential mortgage loans for sale into the secondary market.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans. Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Loans are automatically placed on nonaccrual once the loan is 90 days past due or sooner if, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment obligations as they become due, or as required by regulatory authorities.  

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

The Company had two TDR loans on nonaccrual totaling $3.8 million at September 30, 2022, compared to none at December 31, 2021. The two nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2022, consisted of commercial business loans. The Company had no commitments to lend additional funds on these restructured loans.

TDRs were the result of interest rate modifications and extended payment terms. The Company has not forgiven any principal on these loans.

There were no TDRs which incurred a payment default within twelve months of the restructure date during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

There were 0 loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Impaired Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses -  Prior to the implementation of Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) on January 1, 2022, a loan was considered impaired when, based on current information and circumstances, the Company determines it was probable that it would be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments.  Factors involved in determining impairment included, but were not limited to, the financial condition of the borrower, the value of the underlying collateral and the status of the economy. Impaired loans were comprised of loans on nonaccrual, TDRs that were performing under their restructured terms, and loans that were 90 days or more past due, but were still on accrual.

Credit Quality Indicators

As part of the Company’s on-going monitoring of credit quality of the loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the risk grading of loans, (ii) the level of classified loans, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) non-performing loans, and (v) the general economic conditions in the Company’s markets.  

The Company utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to its real estate and commercial business loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 10, with loans in risk grades 1 to 6 considered “Pass” and loans in risk grades 7 to 10 are reported as classified loans in the Company’s allowance for credit loan loss analysis.

A description of the 10 risk grades is as follows:

Grades 1 and 2 - These grades include loans to very high-quality borrowers with excellent or desirable business credit.
Grade 3 - This grade includes loans to borrowers of good business credit with moderate risk.
Grades 4 and 5 - These grades include “Pass” grade loans to borrowers of average credit quality and risk.
Grade 6 - This grade includes loans on management’s “Watch” list and is intended to be utilized on a temporary basis for “Pass” grade borrowers where frequent and thorough monitoring is required due to credit weaknesses and where significant risk-modifying action is anticipated in the near term.
Grade 7 - This grade is for “Other Assets Especially Mentioned (“OAEM”)” in accordance with regulatory guidelines and includes borrowers where performance is poor or significantly less than expected.
Grade 8 - This grade includes “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines which represent an unacceptable business credit where a loss is possible if loan weakness is not corrected.
Grade 9 - This grade includes “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines where a loss is highly probable.
Grade 10 - This grade includes “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines for which total loss is expected and when identified are charged off.

Table of Contents

Consumer, Home Equity, and One-to-Four-Family Real Estate Loans

Homogeneous loans are risk rated based upon the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council’s Uniform Retail Credit Classification and Account Management Policy. Loans classified under this policy at the Company are consumer loans which include indirect home improvement, solar, marine, other consumer, and one-to-four-family first and second liens. Under the Uniform Retail Credit Classification Policy, loans that are current or less than 90 days past due are graded “Pass” and risk rated “4” or “5” internally. Loans that are past due more than 90 days are classified “Substandard” and risk graded “8” internally until the loan has demonstrated consistent performance, typically six months of contractual payments. Closed-end loans that are 120 days past due and open-end loans that are 180 days past due are charged off based on the value of the collateral less cost to sell.  Management may more conservatively risk rate credits even if paying in accordance with the loan’s repayment terms.

Commercial real estate, construction and development, multi-family and commercial business loans are evaluated individually for their risk classification and may be classified as “Substandard” even if current on their loan payment obligations.

The following tables summarize risk rated loan balances by category as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022.  Revolving loans that are converted to term loans are presented by year of origination.  Term loans that are renewed or extended for periods longer than 90 days are presented as a new origination in the year of the most recent renewal or extension.

The fair value of the servicing rights’ assets was $34.1$36.5 million and $26.1 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Fair value adjustments to servicing rights are mainly due to market-based assumptions associated with discounted cash flows, loan prepayment speeds, and changes in interest rates. A significant change in prepayments of the loans in the servicing portfolio could result in significant changes in the valuation adjustments, thus creating potential volatility in the carrying amount of servicing rights.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution as the tables above demonstrate the Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of MSR which is highly sensitive to changes in key assumptions. For example, actual prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect on MSRthe fair value.value of MSR. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in these tables, the effects of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSR is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may be associated with changes in another (for example, decreases in market interest rates may provide an incentive to refinance, however, this may also indicate a slowing economy and an increase in the unemployment rate, which reduces the number of borrowers who qualify for refinancing), which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Thus, any measurement of MSRthe fair value of MSR is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made at a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different time.

The Company recorded $1.8 million and $1.6$1.7 million of gross contractually specified servicing fees, late fees, and other ancillary fees resulting from servicing of loans for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3.5$5.3 million and $3.0$4.6 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The income, net of MSR amortization, is reported in noninterest income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 5 - DERIVATIVES

The Company is exposed to certain risk 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 assets and liabilities 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 receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

The Company’s predominant derivative and hedging activities involve interest rate swaps related to certain borrowings, brokered deposits, investment securities, and forward sales contracts, and commitments to extend credit associated with mortgage banking activities. Generally, these instruments help the Company manage exposure to market risk. Market risk represents the possibility that economic value or net interest income will be adversely affected by fluctuations in external factors such as market-driven interest rates and prices or other economic factors.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges

The Company regularly enters into commitments to originate and sell loans held for sale. The Company has exposure to movements in interest rates associated with written interest rate lock commitments with potential borrowers to originate one-to four-family loans that are intended to be sold and for closed one-to-four-family mortgage loans held for sale for which fair value accounting has been elected, that are awaiting sale and delivery into the secondary market. The Company economically hedges the risk of changing interest rates associated with these mortgage loan commitments by entering into forward sales contracts to sell one-to-four-family mortgage loans or into contracts to sell forward To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed securities. These commitments and contracts are considered derivatives but have not been designated as hedging instruments for reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP. Rather, they are accounted for as free-standing derivatives, or economic hedges, with changes in the fair value of the derivatives reported in noninterest income or noninterest expense. The Bank recognizes all derivative instruments as either other assets or other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value.

Cash Flow Hedges

The Bank has entered into interest rate swaps to reduce the exposure to variability in interest-related cash outflows attributable to changes in forecasted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)-based borrowings and brokered deposits. These derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges. The hedged item is the LIBOR portion of the series of future adjustable-rate borrowings and deposits over the term of the interest rate swap. Accordingly, changes to the amount of interest payment cash flows for the hedged transactions attributable to a change in credit risk are excluded from management’s assessment of hedge effectiveness. The Bank tests for hedging effectiveness on a quarterly basis. The accumulated other comprehensive income is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Bank has not recorded any hedge ineffectiveness since inception.  

The Bank expects that approximately $2.1$3.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated OCIother comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as a decrease to interest expense over the next twelve12 months related to these cash flow hedges.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its pools of prepayable fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on these instruments attributable to changes in the designated benchmark interest rate, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of fixed-ratevariable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-ratefixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. For derivatives designated and that qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in interest income.

The BankCompany had posted 0cash of $170,000 as collateral, and had no posting requirement for TBA trades with counterparties at that date.  In certain cases, the Company will have posted excess collateral, compared to total exposure due to initial margin requirements or day-to-day rate volatility.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments - The Company is 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. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

37

Table of Contents

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s commitments at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

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. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the amount of the total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. 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 an extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include

38

Table of Contents

accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.

Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines, and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and ultimately may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed. The Company’s ACL - unfunded loan commitments at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and reserves for estimated losses from unfunded commitments at December 31, 2021 was $3.4$3.1 million and $499,000, respectively. The increase in the ACL - unfunded loan commitments reflects the adoption of CECL, as well as the increased provision for credit losses - unfunded loan commitments recorded during the current quarter.  One-to-four-family commitments included in the table above are accounted for as fair value derivatives and do not carry an associated reserve.  The Company’s derivative positions are presented with discussion in “Note 5 - Derivatives.”

The Company also sells one-to-four-family loans to the FHLB of Des Moines that require a limited level of recourse if the loans default and exceed a certain loss exposure. Specific to that recourse, the FHLB of Des Moines established a first loss account (“FLA”) related to the loans and required a credit enhancement (“CE”) obligation by the Bank to be utilized after the FLA is used. Based on loans sold through JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the total loans sold to the FHLB were $10.7$10.2 million with the FLA totaling $938,000 and the CE obligation at $811,000 or 7.5%7.9% of the loans outstanding. Management has established a holdback of 10% of the outstanding CE, or $81,000, which is a part of the off-balance sheet holdback for loans sold. At both JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were 0no loans sold to the FHLB of Des Moines that were greater than 30 days past their contractual payment due date.

Contingent liabilities for loans held for sale - In the ordinary course of business, loans are sold with limited recourse against the Company and may have to subsequently be repurchased due to defects that occurred during the origination of the loan. The defects are categorized as documentation errors, underwriting errors, early payoff, early payment defaults, breach of representation or warranty, servicing errors, and/or fraud. When a loan sold to an investor without recourse fails to perform according to its contractual terms, the investor will typically review the loan file to determine whether defects in the origination process occurred. If a defect is identified, the Company may be required to either repurchase the loan or

38

Table of Contents

indemnify the investor for losses sustained. If there are no such defects, the Company has no commitment to repurchase the loan. The Company has recorded a holdback reserve of $2.3 million and $2.7 million to cover loss exposure related to these guarantees for one-to-four-family loans sold into the secondary market at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has entered into a severance agreement with its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The severance agreement, subject to certain requirements, generally includes a lump sum payment to the CEO equal to 24 months of base compensation in the event his employment is involuntarily terminated, other than for cause or the executive terminates his employment with good reason, as defined in the severance agreement.

The Company has entered into change of control agreements with its Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Credit Officer, Chief Risk Officer, Chief Human Resources Officer, Senior Vice President Compliance Officer, Executive Vice President of Retail Banking and Marketing, and the Executive Vice President of Home Lending. The change of control agreements, subject to certain requirements, generally remain in effect until canceled by either party upon at least 24 months prior written notice. Under the change of control agreements, the executive generally will be entitled to a change of control payment from the Company if the executive is involuntarily terminated within six months preceding or 12 months after a change in control (as defined in the change of control agreements). In such an event, the executives would each be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to 12 months of their then current salary, subject to certain requirements in the change of control agreements.

As a result of the nature of our activities, the Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions, which arise in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, subordination liens may create litigation which requires us to defend our lien rights. In the opinion of management, liabilities arising from these claims, if any, will not have a material effect on our financial position. The Company had 0no material pending legal actions at JuneSeptember 30, 2022.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines fair value based on the requirements established in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 820 defines fair value as the exit price, or the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions. ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, requires us to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of instruments for disclosure purposes.  

The following definitions describe the levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of certain assets and liabilities on a recurring and nonrecurring basis:

Securities - The fair value of securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity are recorded on a recurring basis. The fair value of investments and mortgage-backed securities are provided by a third-party pricing service. These valuations are based on market data using pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available current trade, bid, and other market information, and for structured securities, cash flow, and loan performance data. The pricing processes utilize benchmark curves, benchmarking of similar securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing. Option adjusted spread models are also used to assess the impact of changes in interest rates and to develop prepayment scenarios (Level 2).

Certain other corporate securities and municipal bonds are generally measured at fair value based on discounted cash flow models (Level 3).  Transfers between the fair value hierarchy are determined through the third-party service provider which, from time to time will transfer between levels based on market conditions per the related security. All models and processes used take into account market convention.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale - The fair value of loans held for sale reflects the value of commitments with investors and/or the relative price as delivered into a TBA mortgage-backed security (Level 2).

Loans receivableReceivable - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, including commercial, real estate and consumer loans. Each loan category is further segregated by fixed and adjustable-rate loans. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting expected cash flows at rates at which similar loans are currently being made. These amounts are discounted further by embedded probable losses expected to be realized in the portfolio. Certain residential mortgage loans were initially originated for sale and measured at fair value; after origination, the loans were transferred to loans held for investment.  As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $14.2 million and $16.1 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans recorded at fair value as they were previously transferred from held for sale to loans held for investment.  The aggregate unpaid principal balance of these loans was $16.0 million and $16.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.  Gains and losses from changes in fair value for these loans are reported in earnings as a component of service charges and fee income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded net decreases in fair value of $816,000 and $1.8 million, as compared to net decreases in fair value of $19,000 and $55,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.  For loans originated as held for sale and transferred into loans held for investment, the fair value is determined based on quoted secondary market prices for similar loans. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were $14.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively, in residential mortgage loans recorded at fair value as they were previously transferred from held for sale to loans held for investment (Level 2).

Derivative Instruments - Fair values for derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.  The primary use of derivative instruments is related to the mortgage banking activities of the Company.  The fair value of the interest

Table of Contents

rate lock commitments and forward sales commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-though rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate.  TBA mortgage-backed securities are fair valued on similar contracts in active markets (Level 2), while locks and forwards with customers and investors are fair valued using similar contracts in the market and changes in the market interest rates (Level 2 and 3).  Derivative instruments not related to mortgage banking activities include interest rate swap agreements.  The fair values of interest rate swap agreements 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 rates, and volatility factors to value the position.  The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including market transactions and third-party pricing services.  The fair values of all interest rate swaps are determined from third-party pricing services without adjustment.  

Other Real Estate Owned - Fair value adjustments to OREO are recorded at the lower of carrying amount of the loan or fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for credit losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell (Level 3).

Loans individually evaluatedIndividually Evaluated - Expected credit losses for loans evaluated individually are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate or when the Bank determines that foreclosure is probable, the expected credit loss is measured based on the fair value of the collateral as of the reporting date, less estimated selling costs, as applicable. As a practical expedient, the Bank measures the expected credit loss for a loan using the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty based on the Bank’s assessment as of the reporting date. In both cases, if the fair value of the collateral is less than the amortized cost basis of the loan, the Bank will recognize an allowance as the difference between the fair value of the collateral, less costs to sell (if applicable), at the reporting date and the amortized cost basis of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral exceeds the amortized cost basis of the loan, any expected recovery added to the amortized cost basis will be limited to the amount previously charged-off by the subsequent changes in the expected credit losses for loans evaluated individually are included within the provision for credit losses in the same manner in which the expected credit loss initially was recognized or as a reduction in the provision that would otherwise be reported (Level 3).

Servicing Rights - The fair value of MSR is estimated using net present value of expected cash flows using a third-party model that incorporates assumptions used in the industry to value such rights, adjusted for factors such as weighted average prepayments speeds based on historical information where appropriate (Level 3).

An increase in the pull-through rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the interest rate lock commitments with customers and forward sale commitments with investors will result in positive fair value adjustments (and an increase in the fair value measurement). Conversely, a decrease in the pull-through rate will result in a negative fair value adjustment (and a decrease in the fair value measurement).

NOTE 11 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)

On January 1, 2012, the Company established an ESOP for eligible employees of the Company and the Bank.  Employees of the Company and the Bank are eligible to participate in the ESOP if they have been credited with at least 1,000 hours of service during the employees’ first 12-month period and based on the employee’s anniversary date will be vested in the ESOP. The employee will be 100% vested in the ESOP after two years of working at least 1,000 hours in each of those two years.

The ESOP borrowed $2.6 million from FS Bancorp, Inc. and used those funds to acquire 518,420 shares of FS Bancorp, Inc. common stock in the open market at an average price of $5.09 per share during the second half of 2012. The Bank will make contributions to the ESOP in amounts necessary to amortize the ESOP loan payable to FS Bancorp, Inc. over a period of 10 years, bearing interest at 2.30%. Intercompany expenses associated with the ESOP are eliminated in consolidation. Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to FS Bancorp, Inc. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. Payments of principal and interest are due annually on December 31, the Company’s fiscal year end. On December 31, 2021, the ESOP paid the tenth annual and

4445

Table of Contents

final installment of principal in the amount of $288,000, plus accrued interest of $7,000 pursuant to the ESOP loan agreement.

All ESOP shares have been allocated as of December 31, 2021.  Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $0 for both the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, and $495,000$439,000 and $897,000,$1.3 million, for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively.  

NOTE 12 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company computes earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method for computing earnings per share that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Unvested share-based awards containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. For earnings per share calculations, the ESOP shares committed to be released are included as outstanding shares for both basic and diluted earnings per share.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share at or for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021:

NOTE 13 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Options and Restricted Stock

On May 17, 2018, the shareholders of FS Bancorp, Inc. approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) that authorized 1.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be awarded. The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and up to 326,000 restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) to directors, emeritus directors, officers, employees or advisory directors of the Company.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, there were 441,296342,096 stock option awards and 144,460109,410 RSAs available to be granted under the 2018 Plan.  

Total share-based compensation expense was $481,000$499,000 and $932,000$1.4 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, respectively, and $298,000$402,000 and $593,000$995,000 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively.

Stock Options

The 2018 Plan consists of stock option awards that may be granted as incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options.  Stock option awards generally vest at one year or three years for independent directors or over a five-year period for employees and officers with 20% vesting on the anniversary date of each grant date as long as the award recipient remains in service to the Company.  The options are exercisable after vesting for up to the remaining term of the original grant.  The maximum term of the options granted is 10 years. Any unexercised stock options will expire 10 years after the grant date or sooner in the event of the award recipient’s termination of service with the Company or the Bank.  The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes Option pricing model that uses the following assumptions. The dividend yield is based on the current quarterly dividend in effect at the time of the grant. Historical employment data is used to estimate the forfeiture rate. The Company elected to use Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, simplified expected term calculation for the “Share-Based Payments” method permitted by the SEC to calculate the expected term. This method uses the vesting term of an option along with the contractual term, setting the expected life at 5.5 years for one-year vesting, 5.75 years for two-year vesting, 6.0 years for three-year vesting, and 6.5 years for five-year vesting.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, there was $1.7$2.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the 2018 plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of 3.23.4 years.  

Restricted Stock Awards

The RSAs’ fair value is equal to the value of the market price of FS Bancorp’s common stock on the grant date and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the restricted stock. Shares for the 2018 Plan generally vest at one year or three years for independent directors or over a five-year period for employees and officers beginning on the grant date. Any unvested RSAs will expire after vesting or sooner in the event of the award recipient’s termination of service with the Company or the Bank.

NOTE 14 - REGULATORY CAPITAL

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines of the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital adequacy 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 classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

The federal banking agencies jointly issued a final rule that provides for an optional, simplified measureAs of capital adequacy,September 30, 2022, the community bank leverage ratio framework, for qualifying community banking organizations, consistent with Section 201 ofCompany opted to discontinue the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act.  This final rule is applicable to all non-advanced approaches FDIC-supervised institutions with less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets.  The community bank leverage ratio (“CBLR”) final rule was effective on January 1, 2020,framework and will allow qualifying community banking organizations to calculate a leverage ratio to measure capital adequacy.  Banks opting into the CBLR framework are not required to calculate or report risk-based capital.  A qualifying community banking organization is defined as having less than $10 billion in total consolidated assets, a leverage ratio greater than 9%, off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of total consolidated assets, and trading assets and liabilities of 5% or less of total consolidated assets.  The final rule adopts Tier 1 capital and the existing leverage ratio into the community bank leverage ratio framework.  A bank electing the framework is not subject to other capital and leverage requirements.  Under the CBLR framework, a bank will generally be considered well-capitalized and to have met the risk-based and leverage capital requirements of the capital regulations if it has a leverage ratio greater than 9.0%.  A bank electing the framework that ceases to meet any qualifying criteria in a future period and that has a leverage ratio greater than 8% will be allowed a grace period of two reporting periods to satisfy the CBLR qualifying criteria or comply with the generally applicable capital requirements.  A bank may opt out of the framework at any time, without restriction, by revertingreturn to the generally applicableformer risk-based capital rule.

The Bank qualified for and elected the CBLRadequacy framework as of June 30, 2022.to be well capitalized under prompt corrective action provisions.  The CBLR calculated for the Bank at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 11.9% and 12.2%, respectively..   At June 30, 2022,December 31, 2021, the Bank had Tier 1 capital of $280.8 million and a minimum Tier 1 capital requirement of $211.6 million to bewas considered well capitalized under the CBLR framework. At December 31, 2021, the Bank hadframework with Tier 1 capital of $270.8 million and a minimum Tier 1 capital requirement of $189.3 millionmillion.

Under the risk-based capital adequacy framework, 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 Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier 1 total capital (as defined) and common equity Tier 1 (“CET 1”) capital to risk-weighted assets (as defined).

The Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage, and CET 1 capital ratios as set forth in the table below to be consideredcategorized as well capitalized under the CBLR framework.capitalized. At both JuneSeptember 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under applicable regulatory requirements. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. Management believes, at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements.

In addition to the minimum CET 1, Tier 1, total capital, and leverage ratios, the Bank is required to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET 1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. At September 30, 2022, the Bank’s capital conservation buffer was 2.5%.

FS Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the

47

Table of Contents

regulations of the Federal Reserve.  Bank holding companies with less than $3.0 billion in assets are generally not subject to compliance with the Federal Reserve’s capital regulations, which are generally the same as the capital regulations applicable to the Bank. The Federal Reserve has a policy that a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to the holding company’s subsidiary bank and expects the holding company’s subsidiary bank to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If FS Bancorp, Inc. was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, FS Bancorp, Inc. would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. For informational purposes, the regulatory capital ratios calculated for FS Bancorp, Inc. at September 30, 2022 were 9.8% for Tier 1 leverage-based capital, 10.6% for Tier 1 risk-based capital, 14.0% for total risk-based capital, and 10.6% for CET 1 capital ratio.  The Tier 1 leverage-based capital ratio calculated for FS Bancorp, Inc. at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was 10.1% and 10.8%, respectively. under the CBLR framework.

NOTE 15 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company’s business segments are determined based on the products and services provided, as well as the nature of the related business activities, and they reflect the manner in which financial information is currently evaluated by management. This process is dynamic and is based on management’s current view of the Company’s operations and is not necessarily comparable with similar information for other financial institutions. The Company defines its business segments by product type and customer segment which it has organized into 2two lines of business: commercial and consumer banking and home lending.

The Company uses various management accounting methodologies to assign certain income statement items to the responsible operating segment, including:

a funds transfer pricing (“FTP”) system, which allocates interest income credits and funding charges between the segments, assigning to each segment a funding credit for its liabilities, such as deposits, and a charge to fund its assets;

49

Table of Contents

a cost per loan serviced allocation based on the number of loans being serviced on the balance sheet and the number of loans serviced for third parties;

an allocation based upon the approximate square footage utilized by the home lending segment in Company owned locations;

an allocation of charges for services rendered to the segments by centralized functions, such as corporate overhead, which are generally based on the number of full-time employees (“FTEs”) in each segment; and

an allocation of the Company’s consolidated income taxes which are based on the effective tax rate applied to the segment’s pretax income or loss.

The FTP methodology is based on management’s estimated cost of originating funds including the cost of overhead for deposit generation.

A description of the Company’s business segments and the products and services that they provide is as follows:

Commercial and Consumer Banking Segment

The commercial and consumer banking segment provides diversified financial products and services to our commercial and consumer customers through Bank branches, automated teller machines (“ATM”), online banking platforms, mobile banking apps, and telephone banking. These products and services include deposit products; residential, consumer, business and commercial real estate lending portfolios and cash management services. The Company originates consumer loans, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction loans for residential and multi-family construction, and commercial business loans. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company’s retail deposit branch network consisted of 21 branches in the Pacific Northwest. This segment is also responsible for the management of the investment portfolio and other assets of the Bank.

48

Table of Contents

Home Lending Segment

The home lending segment originates one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans primarily for sale in the secondary markets as well as  loans held for investment. The majority of mortgage loans are sold to or securitized by FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, or the FHLB of Des Moines, while the Company generally retains the right to service these loans. Loans originated under the guidelines of the Federal Housing Administration or FHA, US Department of Veterans Affairs or VA, and United States Department of Agriculture or USDA are generally sold servicing released to a correspondent bank or mortgage company. The Company has the option to sell loans on a servicing-released or servicing-retained basis to securitizers and correspondent lenders. A small percentage of its loans are brokered to other lenders. On occasion, the Company may sell a portion of its MSR portfolio and may sell small pools of loans initially originated to be held in the loan portfolio. The Company manages the loan funding and the interest rate risk associated with the secondary market loan sales and the retained one-to-four-family mortgage servicing rights within this business segment. One-to-four-family loans originated for investment and held in this segment are allocated to the home lending segment with a corresponding provision expense and FTP for cost of funds.

(1) Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of liabilities to fund those assets. Interest earned includes actual interest earned on segment assets and, if the segment has excess liabilities, interest credits for providing funding to the other segment. The cost of liabilities includes interest expense on segment liabilities and, if the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund its assets, a funding charge based on the cost of assigned liabilities to fund segment assets.

(2) Provision for credit losses as calculated using the CECL method in 2022 and provision for loan losses includeas calculated using the previous incurred loss method in 2021.  The change in methodology reflects shifts in allocation between segments due to various changes, to include adjustments to qualitative factors, changes in loan balances, and charge-off and recovery activity.

NOTE 16 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and certain other intangibles generally arise from business combinations accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.  Goodwill totaled $2.3 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and represents the excess of the total acquisition price paid over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of the fair values of liabilities assumed as a result of the purchase of four retail bank branches (“Branch Purchase”) from Bank of America on January 22, 2016.  Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis at December 31 of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performed an impairment analysis at December 31, 2021, and determined that 0no impairment of goodwill existed. However, if adverse economic conditions or the decrease in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were to be deemed sustained rather than temporary, it may significantly affect the fair value of our goodwill.  Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the Company will not record an impairment loss on goodwill in the future.

Table of Contents

Core deposit intangible (“CDI”) is evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable, with any changes in estimated useful life accounted for prospectively over the revised remaining life.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, management believes that there have been no events or changes in the circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment of CDI.

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s other intangible assets comprised solely of CDI for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022.

The CDI represents the fair value of the intangible core deposit base acquired in business combinations. The CDI will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years for the CDI related to the Anchor Bank acquisition in November 2018 (“Anchor Acquisition”)m and on an accelerated basis over approximately nine years for the CDI related to the Branch Purchase. Total amortization expense was $172,000$173,000 and $ 345,000$518,000 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, respectively, and $177,000 and $354,000$531,000 for the same periods, respectively, in 2021.

Amortization expense for CDI is expected to be as follows at JuneSeptember 30, 2022:

NOTE 17 - REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Topic 606, revenues are recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services that are promised within each contract and identifies those that contain performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Deposit Fees

The Bank earns fees from its deposit customers for account maintenance, transaction-based services, and overdraft charges.  Account maintenance fees consist primarily of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit accounts on a monthly basis.  The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are recognized on a monthly basis as the service period is completed. Transaction-based fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services provided to the customer, such as wire fees, as well as charges against the account, such as fees for non-sufficient funds and overdrafts. The performance obligation is completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.  

Debit Interchange Income

Debit and ATM interchange income represent fees earned when a debit card issued by the Bank is used.  The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through the Visa payment network.  Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholders’ debit card.

Overview

FS Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary bank, 1st Security Bank of Washington have been serving the Puget Sound area since 1907. Originally chartered as a credit union, known as Washington’s Credit Union, the credit union served various select employment groups. On April 1, 2004, the credit union converted to a Washington state-chartered mutual savings bank. On July 9, 2012, the Bank converted from mutual to stock ownership and became the wholly owned subsidiary of FS Bancorp, Inc.

The Company is relationship-driven, delivering banking and financial services to local families, local and regional businesses and industry niches within distinct Western Washington communities, predominately the Puget Sound area, one loan production office located in the Tri-Cities, and our newest loan production office in Vancouver, Washington.

The Company also maintains its long-standing indirect consumer lending platform which operates primarily throughout the West Coast. The Company emphasizes long-term relationships with families and businesses within the communities served, working with them to meet their financial needs. The Company is also actively involved in community activities and events within these market areas, which further strengthens our relationships within those markets.

Growing and diversifying our loan portfolio;
Maintaining strong asset quality;
Emphasizing lower cost core deposits to reduce the costs of funding our loan growth;
Capturing our customers’ full relationship by offering a wide range of products and services by leveraging our well-established involvement in our communities and by selectively emphasizing products and services designed to meet our customers’ banking needs; and
Expanding the Company’s markets.

The Company is a diversified lender with a focus on the origination of one-to-four-family loans, commercial real estate mortgage loans, second mortgage or home equity loan products, consumer loans including indirect home improvement (“fixture secured”) loans which also include solar-related home improvement loans, marine lending, and commercial business loans.

The Company originates one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans through referrals from real estate agents, financial planners, builders, and from existing customers. Retail banking customers are also an important source of the Company’s loan originations. The Company originated $258.7$193.7 million of one-to-four-family loans which includes loans held for sale, loans held for investment, and fixed seconds in addition to loans brokered to other institutions of $4.7$2.7 million through the home lending segment during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, of which $196.3$142.3 million were sold to investors. Of the loans sold to investors, $122.4$76.8 million were sold to the FNMA, FHLMC, FHLB, and/or GNMA with servicing rights retained for the purpose of further developing these customer relationships. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, one-to-four-family residential mortgage loans held for investment, which excludes loans held for sale of $35.0$23.4 million, totaled $390.8$429.2 million, or 19.8%20.3%, of the total gross loan portfolio.

For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, there were less one-to-four-family loans originated to finance home purchases due to higher interest rates and decreased refinance activity reflecting less benefit of refinancing with increased market interest rates, compared to the same period in the prior year when refinances surged due to the lowering of market interest rates in response to COVID-19.  Residential construction and development lending, while not as common as other loan origination options like one-to-four-family loans, will continue to be an important element in our total loan portfolio, and we will continue to take a disciplined approach by concentrating our efforts on loans to builders and developers in our market areas known to us. These short-term loans typically mature in six to eighteen months. In addition, the funding is usually not fully disbursed at origination, thereby reducing our net loans receivable in the short term.

The Company is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional

economic cycles. Sources of funds for lending activities include primarily deposits, including brokered deposits, borrowings, payments on loans, and income provided from operations.

The Company’s earnings are primarily dependent upon net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income is a function of the balances of loans and investments outstanding during a given period and the yield earned on these loans and investments. Interest expense is a function of the amount of deposits and borrowings outstanding during the same period and interest rates paid on these deposits and borrowings.

Another significant influence on the Company’s earnings is fee income from mortgage banking activities. The Company’s earnings are also affected by the provision for loancredit losses, service charges and fees, gains from sales of assets, operating expenses and income taxes.  The Company recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $1.6$2.0 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, compared to no provision for loan losses for the same period one year ago, primarily due to the adoption of CECL. The provision for credit losses on loans also reflects the increase in total loans receivable.

receivable and increased reserves on individually evaluated nonaccrual commercial business loans.

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that its critical accounting policies include the following:

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans (“ACLL”).Loans. The ACLL is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover expected losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The ACLL is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. A high degree of judgment is necessary when determining the amount of the ACLL. Among the material estimates required to establish the ACLL are: loss exposure at default; the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans; value of collateral; and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the ACLL at least quarterly and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Although the Company believes that use of the best information available currently establishes the ACLL, future adjustments to the ACLL may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. As the Company adds new products to the loan portfolio and expands the Company’s market area, management intends to enhance and adapt the methodology to keep pace with the size and complexity of the loan portfolio. Changes in any of the above factors could have a significant effect on the calculation of the ACLL in any given period. Management believes that its systematic methodology continues to be appropriate. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss or CECL model, which was early adopted by the Company and effective January 1, 2022. For additional information on CECL see “Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Application of New Accounting Guidance Adopted in 2022” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Servicing Rights. Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through the purchase or through the sale of financial assets. Generally, purchased servicing rights are capitalized at the cost to acquire the rights. For sales of mortgage loans, the value of servicingMSR is capitalized during the month of sale. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds, and default rates and losses.

Servicing assets are evaluated quarterly for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type, and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual tranche, to the

58

Table of Contents

extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the tranches. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as a recovery and an increase to income. Capitalized servicing rights are stated separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets

56

Table of Contents

and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets.

Derivatives and Hedging Activity. ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” requires that derivatives of the Company be recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. Management considers its accounting policy for derivatives to be a critical accounting policy because these instruments have certain interest rate risk characteristics that change in value based upon changes in the capital markets. Fair values for derivative assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis. The Company’s primary use of derivative instruments areis related to the mortgage banking activities in the form of commitments to extend credit, commitments to sell loans, TBA mortgage-backed securities trades and option contracts to mitigate the risk of the commitments to extend credit. Estimates of the percentage of commitments to extend credit on loans to be held for sale that may not fund are based upon historical data and current market trends. The fair value adjustments of the derivatives are recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Income with offsets to other assets or other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Derivative instruments not related to mortgage banking activities primarily relate to interest rate swap agreements accounted for as cash flow hedges and fair value hedges. To qualify for hedge accounting, derivatives must be highly effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. If derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedges, or fair value hedges of available-for-sale securities, fair value adjustments related to the effective portion are recorded in other comprehensive income and are reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction is reflected in earnings. Ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are reflected in earnings as they occur. Actual cash receipts and/or payments and related accruals on derivatives related to hedges are recorded as adjustments to the interest income or interest expense associated with the hedged item. During the life of the hedge, the Company formally assesses whether derivatives designated as hedging instruments continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of hedged items. If it is determined that a hedge has ceased to be highly effective, the Company will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. At such time, previous adjustments to the carrying value of the hedged item are reversed into current earnings and the derivative instrument is reclassified to a trading position recorded at fair value. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings, in noninterest income.

Fair Value. ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring financial instruments at fair value.  The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of financial instruments generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial instruments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of pricing observability and a lesser degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value.  Conversely, financial instruments rarely traded or not quoted will generally have little or no pricing observability and a higher degree of judgment utilized in measuring fair value.  Pricing observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, whether the financial instrument is new to the market and not yet established and the characteristics specific to the transaction.  The objective of a fair value measurement is to estimate the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the asset or to transfer the liability would take place between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (that is, an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability).  For additional details, see “Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to show the tax effects of the operations and transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes. ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” requires the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. They are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled and are determined using the assets and liability method of accounting. The deferred income provision represents the difference between net deferred tax asset/liability at the beginning and end of the reported period. In formulating the deferred tax asset, the Company is required to estimate income and taxes in the jurisdiction in which the Company operates.

59

Table of Contents

This process involves estimating the actual current tax exposure for the reported period together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and the provision for loan losses, for tax and financial reporting purposes.

57

Table of Contents

Deferred tax assets and liabilities occur when taxable income is larger or smaller than reported income on the income statements due to accounting valuation methods that differ from tax, as well as tax rate estimates and payments made quarterly and adjusted to actual at the end of the year.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are temporary differences deductible or payable in future periods.  The Company had net deferred tax assets of $4.7$6.6 million and net deferred tax liabilities of $1.2 million, at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

the prior incurred loss methodology. The provision for credit losses on loans reflects the increase in total loans receivable partially offset by a reduction in classified loans that were downgraded basedand increased reserves on individually evaluated nonaccrual commercial business loans. During the COVID-19 pandemic and improved economic factors on credit-deterioration used to calculate the ACLL primarily related to the COVID-19 pandemic as compared to the same time last year. For the sixnine months ended June 30, 2022, the provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments was $485,000, compared to $455,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to a change in methodology as a result of the adoption of CECL, as well as increases in total unfunded commitments. During the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, net loan charge-offs totaled $280,000,$843,000, compared to $439,000$747,000 during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021. This decreaseincrease was primarily due to a net charge-off decreasesincrease of $87,000$325,000 in other consumer loans (which includes deposit overdraft net charge-offs of $333,000), partially offset by reductions in net charge-offs of $187,000 in indirect home improvement, loans, $48,000 in other loans (which includes deposit net charge-offs of $65,000), and $38,000 in commercial business loans. A further declineloans, and $4,000 in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for credit losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Liquidity

Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit runoff that may occur in the normal course of business. The Company relies on a number of different sources in order to meet potential liquidity demands. The primary sources are increases in deposit accounts, FHLB advances, purchases of federal funds, sale of securities available-for-sale, cash flows from loan payments, sales of one-to-four-family loans held for sale, and maturing securities. While the maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund its operations.  The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Bank’s total borrowing capacity was $515.0$564.3 million with the FHLB of Des Moines, with unused borrowing capacity of $436.1$297.7 million. The FHLB borrowing limit is based on certain categories of loans, primarily real estate loans that qualify as collateral for FHLB advances. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Bank held approximately $718.6$786.8 million in loans that qualify as collateral for FHLB advances.

In addition to the availability of liquidity from the FHLB of Des Moines, the Bank maintained a short-term borrowing line with the FRB, with a current limit of $194.9$196.0 million, and a combined credit limit of $101.0 million in written federal funds lines of credit through correspondent banking relationships at JuneSeptember 30, 2022. The FRB borrowing limit is based on certain categories of loans, primarily consumer loans that qualify as collateral for FRB line of credit.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Bank held approximately $491.4$524.3 million in loans that qualify as collateral for the FRB line of credit.  Subject to market conditions, we expect to utilize these borrowing facilities from time to time in the future to fund loan originations and

deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments, repay maturing debt and to take advantage of investment opportunities to the extent feasible.

The Bank’s Asset and Liability Management Policy permits management to utilize brokered deposits up to 20% of deposits or $404.7$417.7 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2022. Total brokered deposits at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 were $260.4$324.6 million. Management utilizes brokered deposits to mitigate interest rate risk and liquidity risk exposure when appropriate.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the Company’s management.  Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer-term basis, a strategy is maintained of investing in various lending products and investment securities, including U.S. Government obligations and U.S. agency securities. The Company uses sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits, fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit amounted to $639.9$628.8 million.  Securities purchased during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $22.0$24.0 million and $69.4$117.2 million, respectively, and securities repayments, maturities and sales in those quarters were $11.0$17.8 million and $11.5$20.9 million, respectively.

The Bank’s liquidity is also affected by the volume of loans sold and loan principal payments.  During the sixnine months  ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021, the Bank sold $497.4$663.8 million and $794.6 million$1.11 billion in loans and loan participation interests, respectively.  

The Bank’s liquidity has been positively impacted by increases in deposit levels. Total deposits increased $100.4$167.6 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 primarily driven by growth in CDs. CDs scheduled to mature in three months or less at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, totaled $150.6$137.5 million. It is management’s policy to offer deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this management strategy, the Company believes that a majority of maturing relationship deposits will remain with the Bank.

As a separate legal entity from the Bank, FS Bancorp, Inc. must provide for its own liquidity. Sources of capital and liquidity for FS Bancorp, Inc. include distributions from the Bank and the issuance of debt or equity securities. Dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory notice. The Company currently expects to continue the current practice of paying quarterly cash dividends on common stock subject to the Board of Directors' discretion to modify or terminate this practice at any time and for any reason without prior notice. Our current quarterly common stock dividend rate is $0.20 per share, as approved by our Board of Directors, which we believe is a dividend rate per share

Assuming continued payment during 2022 at this rate of $0.20 per share, our average total dividend paid each quarter would be approximately $1.5 million based on the number of our current outstanding shares (which assumes no increases or decreases in the number of shares, except in connection with the anticipated vesting of currently outstanding equity awards). At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, FS Bancorp, Inc. had $7.5$5.4 million in unrestricted cash to meet liquidity needs.

Capital Resources

The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC.  Based on its capital levels at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Bank exceeded these requirements as of that date. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for the Bank to maintain a well capitalized status under the capital categories of the FDIC. Based on capital levels at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Bank was considered to be well capitalized.  Effective January 1, 2022, a bank that elects to use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) will generally be considered well capitalized and to have met the risk-based and leverage capital requirements of the capital regulations if it has a leverage ratio greater than 9.0%.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Bank qualified and elected to use the CBLR to measureexceeded all regulatory capital adequacy. Therequirements with Tier 1 leverage-based capital, ratio calculated for the Bank at June 30, 2022 was 11.9%.    Tier 1 risk-based capital, total risk-based capital, and common equity Tier 1 capital ratios of 11.5%, 12.5%, 13.7%, and 12.5%, respectively.

As a bank holding company registered with the Federal Reserve, the Company is subject to the capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve.  Bank holding companies with less than $3.0 billion in assets are generally not subject to compliance with the Federal Reserve’s capital regulations, which are generally the same as the capital regulations applicable to the Bank. The Federal Reserve has a policy that a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to the holding company’s subsidiary bank and the Federal Reserve expects the holding

company’s subsidiary bank to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.  If FS Bancorp, Inc. were subject to regulatory capital guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, FS Bancorp, Inc. would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. For informational purposes, the Tier 1 leverage-basedregulatory capital ratioratios calculated for FS Bancorp, Inc. at JuneSeptember 30, 2022 was 10.1%.were 9.8% for Tier 1 leverage-based capital, 10.6% for Tier 1 risk-based capital, 14.0% for total risk-based capital, and 10.6% for CET 1 capital ratio. For additional information regarding regulatory capital compliance, see the discussion included in “Note 14 - Regulatory Capital” to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I. Item 1 of this report.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the market risk disclosures contained in FS Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) was carried out as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and several other members of the Company’s senior management. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

The Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that based on their evaluation at JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to FS Bancorp management, including its CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b)Changes in Internal Controls

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
