The increase in interest income on loans receivable was primarily a result of an increase in the weighted average portfolio yield, from 3.11% for the prior quarter to 3.21% for the current quarter, mainly in the one- to four-family correspondent portfolio due to a reduction in premium amortization related to a slowdown in endorsement and payoff activity. The decrease in interest income on MBS was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average portfolio yield, from 1.40% for the prior quarter to 1.30% for the current quarter, resulting from an increase in premium amortization related to prepayment activity.

The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the portfolio, from 0.69% for the prior quarter to 0.62% for the current quarter, and a decrease in the average balance of the retail certificate of deposit portfolio. See "Financial Condition as of September 30, 2021" below for additional information on deposits.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Bank recorded a negative provision for credit losses of $1.3 million, compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $2.7 million for the prior quarter. The negative provision in the current quarter was composed of a $906 thousand decrease in the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans and a $418 thousand decrease in reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The $1.3 million negative provision for credit losses in the current quarter was due primarily to more favorable forecasted economic conditions at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021, largely related to commercial loans. However, the negative provision for the current quarter was lower than the prior quarter, as the rate of improvement in the forecasted economic conditions was less significant as compared to June 30, 2021. See additional discussion regarding the Bank's ACL and reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures at September 30, 2021 in the "Asset Quality" section below.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due primarily to an increase in incentive compensation. The decrease in information technology and related expense was due mainly to a decrease in professional services expense, primarily as a result of the completion of some projects in the prior quarter, and software licensing expense. Included in other non-interest expense in the prior quarter was a partial reversal of a write-down on a branch property sold by the Bank.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 55.55% for the current quarter compared to 57.73% for the prior quarter. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to higher net interest income. The efficiency ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A lower value indicates that the financial institution is generating revenue with a proportionally lower level of expense, relative to the net interest margin and non-interest income.

The increase in income tax expense was due primarily to higher pretax income, as well as a higher effective tax rate in the current quarter. The higher effective tax rate was due mainly to adjustments of permanent tax differences, specifically the Company's low income housing partnership amounts.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended September 30, 2021 and 2020

The Company recognized net income of $76.1 million, or $0.56 per share, for fiscal year 2021 compared to net income of $64.5 million, or $0.47 per share, for fiscal year 2020. The increase in net income was due primarily to recording a $22.3 million provision for credit losses during the prior year compared to recording a negative provision for credit losses of $8.5 million in the current year, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income and an increase in income tax expense. Net interest income decreased $14.3 million, or 7.6%, from the prior year to $175.0 million for the current year. The net interest margin decreased 22 basis points, from 2.12% for the prior year to 1.90% for the current year. The decrease in net interest income and net interest margin was due mainly to a decrease in asset yields, along with a change in asset mix as cash flows from the loan portfolio have been used to purchase lower yielding securities, partially offset by a decrease in the cost of deposits and borrowings.

The decrease in interest income on loans receivable was due mainly to a decrease in the weighted average yield, primarily in the one- to four-family loan portfolio. The decrease in the weighted average yield on the one- to four-family loan portfolio was due to endorsements and refinances to lower market rates, higher premium amortization related to correspondent one- to four-family loans due to high payoff and endorsement activity, along with adjustable-rate loans repricing to lower market rates, and the origination and purchase of new loans at lower market rates. Additionally, the average balance of the portfolio decreased compared to the prior year due primarily to a reduction in the correspondent one-to four-family loan portfolio. See "Average Balance Sheets" below.

The decrease in interest income on the MBS portfolio was due to a decrease in the weighted average yield as a result of purchases at lower market yields and the repricing of existing adjustable-rate MBS to lower market yields, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of the portfolio. Cash flows from the loan portfolio were used to purchase securities during the current fiscal year.

The decrease in dividend income on FHLB stock was due mainly to a decrease in the average balance of FHLB stock, along with a decrease in the dividend rate paid by FHLB. The average balance decreased as the Bank did not replace certain maturing FHLB advances between periods, which reduced the amount of FHLB stock owned by the Bank per FHLB requirements.

The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due to a decrease in the weighted average yield as a result of purchases at lower market yields, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of the portfolio.

The decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to a decrease in the yield earned on cash held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due mainly to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on retail certificates of deposit, money market accounts, and wholesale certificates of deposit. Since the onset of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic, retail certificates of deposit have been repricing downward as they renew or are replaced at lower offered rates, and rates on money market accounts have been lowered.

The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance, as certain maturing FHLB advances and repurchase agreements were not replaced and the Bank paid down its FHLB line of credit with liquidity generated from the deposit portfolio. The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was also a result of lowering the cost of FHLB advances by prepaying certain advances during the current and prior years.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Bank recorded a negative provision for credit losses during the current year of $8.5 million, compared to a $22.3 million provision for credit losses during the prior year. The negative provision in the current fiscal year was composed of a $6.5 million decrease in the ACL for loans and a $2.0 million decrease in reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The negative provision for credit losses in the current fiscal year was due primarily to favorable forecasted economic outlooks during the year, largely related to commercial loans. See additional discussion regarding the Bank's ACL and reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures at September 30, 2021 in the "Asset Quality" section below.

The increase in deposit service fees was due primarily to an increase in debit card income as a result of higher transaction volume. During the current year period, the Bank sold its Visa Class B Shares, resulting in a $7.4 million gain. The increase in insurance commissions was due primarily to higher annual contingent insurance commissions received in the current year period compared to the prior year period. The decrease in other non-interest income was primarily related to lower income from bank-owned life insurance ("BOLI"), due to a reduction in the yield as a result of lower market rates and reduced death benefit receipts.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due primarily to an increase in incentive compensation, as well as an increase in loan commissions related to higher loan origination activity. The increase in information technology and related expense was due mainly to an increase in software licensing expense and professional services expense. During the current fiscal year, the Bank terminated interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with a notional amount of $200.0 million resulting in the reclassification of unrealized losses totaling $4.8 million from accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") into earnings. The increase in the federal insurance premium was due mainly to the Bank utilizing an assessment credit from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") during the prior year period.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 56.91% for the current year compared to 50.74% for the prior year. The change in the efficiency ratio was due to higher non-interest expense and lower net interest income, partially offset by higher non-interest income. Management continues to strive to control operating costs. The increase in the efficiency ratio in the current year related to higher non-interest expense was due primarily to the loss on the termination of interest rate swaps, which was a unique transaction during the current year, along with higher federal insurance premium expense as the Bank utilized an assessment credit from the FDIC during the prior year.

The increase in income tax expense was due primarily to higher pretax income in the current year, as well as a higher effective tax rate compared to the prior year. The effective tax rate was lower in the prior year due primarily to a discrete benefit recognized in the prior year related to certain previously acquired BOLI policies. Management anticipates the effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2022 will be approximately 21% to 22%.

Comparison of September 30, 2021 to June 30, 2021

The decrease in total assets was due primarily to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by an increase in loans receivable, as excess operating cash was generally used to fund loan growth during the current quarter. The increase in loans receivable was mainly in the one- to four-family correspondent loan portfolio.

The decrease in deposits was due primarily to a decrease in the certificate of deposit portfolio, partially offset by an increase in money market accounts, as customers moved some of the funds from maturing certificates to more liquid investment options such as the Bank's money market accounts.

Comparison of September 30, 2021 to September 30, 2020

The increase in total assets was due mainly to an increase in securities, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents and loans receivable. Securities were purchased with cash flows from the loan portfolio and growth in the deposit portfolio that was not used to pay down maturing borrowings. The decrease in loans receivable was primarily in the one- to four-family correspondent loan portfolio.

The increase in total deposits was in non-maturity deposits, partially offset by a decrease in retail certificates of deposit. The decrease in total borrowings was due to not renewing borrowings that matured during the current year. Cash flows from deposit growth were used to pay off maturing borrowings.

Stockholders' Equity

During the current year, the Company paid cash dividends totaling $117.9 million and repurchased common stock totaling $1.5 million. The cash dividends paid during the current year totaled $0.87 per share and consisted of a $0.40 per share True Blue Capitol cash dividend, a $0.13 per share cash true-up dividend related to fiscal year 2020 earnings and four regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.085 per share. Given the state of economic uncertainty, the Company elected to defer the annual True Blue dividend in June 2020. In June 2021, the Company paid a True Blue Capitol cash dividend of $0.40 per share, which represented a $0.20 per share cash dividend for fiscal year 2020 and a $0.20 per share cash dividend for fiscal year 2021.

On October 19, 2021, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $11.5 million, payable on November 19, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 5, 2021. On October 28, 2021, the Company announced a fiscal year 2021 cash true-up dividend of $0.22 per share, or approximately $29.9 million, related to fiscal year 2021 earnings. The $0.22 per share cash true-up dividend was determined by taking the difference between total earnings for fiscal year 2021 and total regular quarterly cash dividends paid during fiscal year 2021, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The cash true-up dividend is payable on December 3, 2021 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 19, 2021, and is the result of the Board of Directors' commitment to distribute to stockholders 100% of the annual earnings of the Company for fiscal year 2021. In the long run, management considers the Bank's equity to total assets ratio of at least 9% an appropriate level of capital. At September 30, 2021, this ratio was 11.5%.

At October 1, 2021, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $93.8 million in cash on deposit at the Bank. For fiscal year 2022, it is the intention of the Board of Directors to continue the payout of 100% of the Company's earnings to the Company's stockholders. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, and the amount of cash at the holding company level.

There remains $44.7 million authorized under the existing stock repurchase plan for additional purchases of the Company's common stock. Shares may be repurchased from time to time based upon market conditions, available liquidity and other factors. This plan has no expiration date; however, the Federal Reserve Bank's existing approval for the Company to repurchase shares expires in August 2022.

The following table presents a reconciliation of total to net shares outstanding as of September 30, 2021.

Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank in accordance with regulatory standards. In April 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies announced the issuance of two interim final rules, effective immediately, to provide temporary relief to community banking organizations. Under the interim final rules, the community bank leverage ratio ("CBLR") requirement is a minimum of 8.5% for calendar year 2021 and 9% thereafter. As of September 30, 2021, the Bank's CBLR was 11.5%, which exceeded the minimum requirement.

Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. is the holding company for the Bank. The Bank has 54 branch locations in Kansas and Missouri, and is one of the largest residential lenders in the State of Kansas. News and other information about the Company can be found at the Bank's website, http://www.capfed.com.

Average Balance Sheets

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

(1)

Balances are adjusted for unearned loan fees and deferred costs. Loans that are 90 or more days delinquent are included in the loans receivable average balance with a yield of zero percent.

(2)

AFS securities are adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums or discounts.

(3)

The average balance of investment securities includes an average balance of nontaxable securities of $4.9 million and $5.1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and $6.6 million and $13.8 million for the years ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively.

(4)

The FHLB advance amounts and rates included in this line include the effect of interest rate swaps and are net of deferred prepayment penalties.

(5)

Net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

(6)

Net interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

(7)

Net interest margin represents annualized net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.

(8)

The operating expense ratio represents annualized non-interest expense as a percentage of average assets.

(9)

The efficiency ratio represents non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income.

One- to Four-Family Loans: The following table presents, for our portfolio of one- to four-family loans, the amount, percent of total, weighted average credit score, weighted average loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio, and average balance per loan as of September 30, 2021. Credit scores were updated in September 2021 from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency. The LTV ratios were based on the current loan balance and either the lesser of the purchase price or original appraisal, or the most recent Bank appraisal, if available. In most cases, the most recent appraisal was obtained at the time of origination.

As of September 30, 2021, there were $2.7 million of one- to-four family loans with modifications under the Bank's program to support and provide relief to borrowers during the COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19 loan modifications") that were still in their deferral period. See "Asset Quality" below for additional information regarding the performance of loans that have exited the deferral period.

Commercial Loans: During the current year, the Bank originated $251.5 million of commercial loans, including $22.8 million of Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loans, and entered into commercial loan participations totaling $134.7 million. The Bank also processed commercial loan disbursements, excluding lines of credit, of approximately $270.0 million at a weighted average rate of 3.59%. Additionally, during the current year, $63.5 million of PPP loans were paid off, primarily by the U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") following completion of the loan forgiveness process.

The following table presents the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction loans and loan commitments by type of primary collateral, as of September 30, 2021. Because the commitments to pay out undisbursed funds are not cancellable by the Bank, unless the loan is in default, we generally anticipate fully funding the related projects.

As of September 30, 2021, there were commercial loans with an aggregate gross balance, including undisbursed amounts, of $146.4 million with COVID-19 loan modifications that were still in their deferral period. There were $237.2 million of commercial loans with COVID-19 loan modifications that were out of their deferral period by September 30, 2021. See "Asset Quality" below for additional information regarding the performance of loans that have exited the deferral period.

Asset Quality

The following tables present loans 30 to 89 days delinquent, non-performing loans, and other real estate owned ("OREO") as of the dates indicated. Loans subject to payment forbearance under the Bank's COVID-19 loan modification program are not reported as delinquent during the forbearance time period. Of the loans 30 to 89 days delinquent at September 30, 2021, approximately 61% were 59 days or less delinquent. Nonaccrual loans are loans that are 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure and other loans required to be reported as nonaccrual pursuant to accounting and/or regulatory reporting requirements and/or internal policies, even if the loans are current. Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans and OREO. In late March 2020, the Bank suspended the initiation of foreclosure proceedings for owner-occupied one- to four-family loans. At September 30, 2021, there were $7.4 million of non-performing one- to four-family loans for which foreclosure proceedings either had been initiated prior to the foreclosure suspension or would have been initiated if the foreclosure suspension were not in place.

Real estate-related consumer loans where we also hold the first mortgage are included in the one- to four-family category as the underlying collateral is one- to four-family property.

Of the one- to four-family COVID-19 loan modifications that had completed the deferral period by September 30, 2021, $2.2 million were 30 to 89 days delinquent and $2.8 million were 90 or more days delinquent as of September 30, 2021. Of the commercial COVID-19 loan modifications that had completed the deferral period by September 30, 2021, $3 thousand were 30 to 89 days delinquent and none were 90 or more days delinquent as of September 30, 2021.

The following table presents loans classified as special mention or substandard at the dates presented. The increase in commercial special mention loans at September 30, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020 was due mainly to the addition of two commercial loans totaling $50.0 million for which the borrowers have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Both of these loans were subject to COVID-19 loan modifications during fiscal year 2020 and have since resumed full payments. There are underlying economic considerations that management is monitoring in association with these loans resulting in the special mention classification.

Allowance for Credit Losses: The Bank is utilizing a discounted cash flow approach for estimating expected credit losses for pooled loans and loan commitments. The economic forecast scenarios selected by management improved at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021 which resulted in a reduction in the ACL calculated by the model. Management applied qualitative factors at September 30, 2021 to account for the continued economic uncertainties, along with the balance and trending of large-dollar special mention commercial loans and commercial loan COVID-19 modifications. The economic uncertainties were related to (1) the job market, specifically the unemployment rate and labor participation rate and how the significant federal assistance may be impacting those measures and (2) the unevenness of the recovery in certain industries in which the Bank has lending relationships. The ACL related to the commercial loans qualitative factors decreased during the current quarter due to improvement in forecasted economic conditions at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021.

The following table presents a summary of changes in ACL and reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures occurring during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Securities Portfolio

The following table presents the distribution of our securities portfolio, at amortized cost, at September 30, 2021. Overall, fixed-rate securities comprised 94% of our securities portfolio at September 30, 2021. The weighted average life ("WAL") is the estimated remaining maturity (in years) after three-month historical prepayment speeds and projected call option assumptions have been applied. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully tax-equivalent basis.

(1)

Represents adjustable-rate FHLB advances for which the Bank has entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $365.0 million to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with the advances. These advances are presented based on their contractual maturity dates and will be renewed periodically until the maturity or termination of the interest rate swaps. The expected WAL of the interest rate swaps was 4.1 years at September 30, 2021.

(2)

The effective rate includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid.

The following tables present borrowing activity for the periods shown. The borrowings presented in the table have original contractual terms of one year or longer or are tied to interest rate swaps with original contractual terms of one year or longer. FHLB advances are presented at par. The effective rate is shown as a weighted average and includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The WAM is the remaining weighted average contractual term in years. The beginning and ending WAMs represent the remaining maturity at each date presented. For new borrowings, the WAMs presented are as of the date of issue.

The maturity date for FHLB advances tied to interest rate swaps is based on the maturity date of the related interest rate swap

Average Rates and Lives

At September 30, 2021, the Bank's gap between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities projected to reprice within one year was $(664.1) million, or (6.9)% of total assets, compared to $(478.2) million, or (5.0)% of total assets, at June 30, 2021. The change in the one-year gap amount was due primarily to an increase in the amount of deposits projected to reprice at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021. In addition, the amount of assets projected to reprice decreased due to a lower balance of cash at September 30, 2021 compared to June 30, 2021.

The majority of interest-earning assets anticipated to reprice in the coming year are repayments and prepayments on one- to four-family loans and mortgage-backed securities, both of which include the option to prepay without a fee being paid by the contract holder. The amount of interest-bearing liabilities expected to reprice in a given period is not typically significantly impacted by changes in interest rates, because the Bank's borrowings and certificate of deposit portfolios have contractual maturities and generally cannot be terminated early without a prepayment penalty. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of September 30, 2021, the Bank's one-year gap is projected to be $(1.29) billion, or (13.4)% of total assets. The change in the gap compared to when there is no change in rates is due to lower anticipated net cash flows primarily due to lower repayments on mortgage-related assets in the higher rate environment. This compares to a one-year gap of $(1.12) billion, or (11.7)% of total assets, if interest rates were to have increased 200 basis points as of June 30, 2021.

The following table presents the weighted average yields/rates and WALs (in years), after applying prepayment, call assumptions, and decay rates for our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of September 30, 2021. Yields presented for interest-earning assets include the amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to the yield. The interest rate presented for term borrowings is the effective rate, which includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The WAL presented for term borrowings includes the effect of interest rate swaps.
