net interest margin financial
"the net interest margin increased five basis points to 1.84%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
Tier 1 leverage ratio financial
"Our Tier I capital ratio of 10.75% exceeds the amount considered to be well-capitalized"
Tier 1 leverage ratio measures a bank’s core capital — the money that can absorb losses — as a share of its total assets, showing how much of its balance sheet is funded by real loss-absorbing capital rather than borrowed money. Investors use it like a safety gauge: a higher ratio means a bigger cushion against shocks and lower risk of insolvency, similar to how a thicker spare tire reduces the chance of being stranded.
allowance for credit losses financial
"The total allowance for credit losses increased $0.8 million during the quarter to $104.9 million"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
Basel III capital framework regulatory
"The Company operates under the capital requirements for the standardized approach of the Basel III capital framework"
An international set of banking rules that specifies how much high-quality, loss-absorbing money banks must hold to survive shocks and keep lending, like a required reserve or seatbelt for a bank’s finances. It matters to investors because tighter or looser rules change a bank’s safety, ability to lend, and capacity to pay dividends or grow profits—shifts that directly affect bank stock values and the wider credit market.
home equity loans and lines of credit financial
"home equity loans and lines of credit increased $424.4 million to $5.24 billion"
Quarterly net income $23.2 million +4.0% vs prior quarter
Six-month net income $45.5 million +4.8% vs prior year period
Quarterly net interest income $77.8 million +2.8% vs prior quarter
Six-month net interest income $153.5 million +9.3% vs prior year period

TFS Financial Reports Results for Second Quarter Fiscal 2026

(Cleveland, OH - April 30, 2026) - TFS Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: TFSL) (the "Company", "we", "our"), the holding company for Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland (the "Association"), today announced results for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2026.
"During the quarter, we had a 4% increase in net income and a record $77.8 million in net interest income,” said Chairman and CEO Marc A. Stefanski. “Our results were driven primarily by increasing yields from Smart Rate ARMs resetting and our prudent management of deposit costs,” he said. “The upcoming purchase season, and the opportunity for mortgage growth, gives us even more optimism for the fiscal year. Our Tier I capital ratio of 10.75% exceeds the amount considered to be well-capitalized, allowing us more opportunities for growth, dividends, and strategic buybacks.”
Operating Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2026 compared to the Quarter Ended December 31, 2025
Net income rose $0.9 million, or 4.0%, to $23.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, from $22.3 million in the prior quarter. This increase reflected higher net interest income and a reduction in non-interest expenses, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses and a decrease in non-interest income.
Net interest income increased $2.1 million, or 2.8%, to $77.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 from $75.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to a 12 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The average balance and cost of certificates of deposit ("CDs") decreased $609.7 million and 19 basis points, respectively, while savings accounts experienced increases in both average balances ($461.4 million) and cost (56 basis points). The Company offers certain CD products that transition into liquid savings accounts at maturity. This feature has facilitated the movement of funds from CDs to savings accounts. Loan yields decreased by three basis points, reflecting the full quarterly impact of two 25 basis point reductions, during our first fiscal quarter of 2026, in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate which serves as the index for our home equity lines of credit. The interest rate spread improved by seven basis points to 1.54%, while the net interest margin increased five basis points to 1.84%.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company did not record a provision for credit losses whereas a $1.0 million release of provision was recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The total allowance for credit losses increased $0.8 million during the quarter to $104.9 million, or 0.67% of total loans receivable, from $104.1 million, or 0.66% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2025. The allowance for unfunded commitments, included in other liabilities, increased $0.9 million due to a $104.8 million increase in commitments to originate loans and had a balance of $30.0 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $29.1 million at December 31, 2025. Net recoveries were $0.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.7 million for the previous quarter. Total loan delinquencies increased $1.5 million to $38.4 million, or 0.24% of total loans receivable, at March 31, 2026 from $36.9 million, or 0.23% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2025.
Total non-interest income decreased $0.6 million, or 7.5%, to $7.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 from $8.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in net gain on the sale of loans.
Total non-interest expense decreased $0.8 million, or 1.4%, to $55.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 from $56.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Marketing expenses decreased $2.2 million due to reduced media costs, while federal insurance premium and assessments increased $0.4 million and other operating expenses increased $1.2 million. An increase in third-party costs related to residential loan applications not yet converted to funded loans drove the increase in other operating expenses.
Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 compared to December 31, 2025
Total assets decreased $19.0 million to $17.48 billion at March 31, 2026 from $17.50 billion at December 31, 2025, mainly due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $19.4 million, or 4.3%, to $437.3 million at March 31, 2026 from $456.7 million at December 31, 2025, due to normal fluctuations and liquidity management.
Loans held for investment, net of allowance and deferred loan expenses, increased $0.7 million, or less than 1%, remaining at $15.74 billion at March 31, 2026. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the combined balances of home equity loans and lines of credit increased $188.4 million to $5.24 billion and residential core mortgage loans decreased $185.9 million to $10.46 billion. Loans held for sale decreased $9.3 million to $5.1 million at March 31, 2026, from $14.4 million at December 31, 2025.



Deposits decreased $184.7 million, or less than 1%, to $10.19 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $10.37 billion at December 31, 2025, consisting of decreases of $471.0 million in CDs, $9.5 million in money market deposit accounts and $18.9 million in checking accounts, partially offset by an increase of $311.5 million in savings accounts.
Borrowed funds increased $202.6 million, or 4%, to $5.14 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to $4.94 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase in borrowed funds was entirely due to an increase in utilization of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Cincinnati.
Operating Results for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2026 compared to the Six Months Ended March 31, 2025
The Company reported net income of $45.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $2.1 million, or 4.8%, compared to net income of $43.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increases in net interest income and non-interest income along with a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expenses.
Net interest income increased $13.1 million, or 9.3%, to $153.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $140.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The yield on interest-earning assets for the six months ended March 31, 2026 rose by 14 basis points compared to the prior year period, as lower-rate residential mortgages were replaced with higher-yielding mortgage loans and home equity products. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased by two basis points. The interest rate spread was 1.51% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to 1.39% for the six months ended March 31, 2025. The net interest margin was 1.82% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 1.70% for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
During the six months ended March 31, 2026, there was a $1.0 million release of provision for credit losses compared to no provision for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Net loan recoveries totaled $1.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and $2.1 million for the same period of the prior year.
The total allowance for credit losses increased $0.5 million to $104.9 million, or 0.67% of total loans receivable, from $104.4 million, or 0.67% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2025 and increased $4.9 million from $99.9 million, or 0.65% of total loans receivable at March 31, 2025. The increases were primarily related to increases in the home equity loan and lines of credit portfolios. The allowance for credit losses included $30.0 million, $30.1 million and $29.4 million in liabilities for unfunded commitments at March 31, 2026, September 30, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Total loan delinquencies increased $3.7 million to $38.4 million, or 0.24% of total loans receivable, at March 31, 2026 from $34.7 million, or 0.22% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2025 and increased $6.8 million from $31.6 million, or 0.20% of total loans receivable, at March 31, 2025. Non-accrual loans totaled $37.1 million, or 0.23% of total loans receivable, at March 31, 2026, compared to $38.7 million, or 0.25% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2025 and $37.0 million, or 0.24% of total loans receivable at March 31, 2025.
Total non-interest income increased $1.9 million, or 14.0%, to $15.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2026, from $13.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in net gain on the sale of loans. During the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were $204.1 million and $147.2 million of loans sold with net gains on the sale of loans totaling $4.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
Total non-interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2026 increased $12.6 million, or 12.7%, to $111.6 million from $99.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. There were increases of $6.4 million in salaries and employee benefits, $2.0 million in marketing services, $1.2 million in office property, equipment and software expenses and $3.5 million in other expenses, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in federal insurance premium and assessments. The increase in salaries and benefits was mainly the result of a one-time after-tax bonus of $1,500 provided to all associates in December 2025, totaling $2.2 million, as well as higher staffing levels and stock-based compensation expenses, partially offset by an increase in capitalized payroll costs related to the implementation of a new core banking system. Other expenses rose due to an increase in third party expenses related to a higher volume of loan applications not yet converted to funded loans, increased down payment assistance and additional postage expenses. Additionally, pension benefits arising from actuarial adjustments were lower during the most recent period.
Financial Condition at March 31, 2026 compared to September 30, 2025
Total assets increased $23.4 million, or less than 1%, to $17.48 billion at March 31, 2026 from $17.46 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase was mainly the result of increases in loans held for investment and other assets, partially offset by decreases in loans held for sale and investment securities available for sale.



Investment securities available for sale decreased $66.1 million, or 12.69%, to $454.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $520.7 million at September 30, 2025. This decrease was mainly due to the combined effect of cash flows from security repayments and maturities. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, a $50.0 million treasury security matured and was not replaced.
Loans held for investment, net of allowance and deferred loan expenses, increased $79.0 million, or 0.5%, to $15.74 billion at March 31, 2026 from $15.66 billion at September 30, 2025. The increase was offset by a $52.6 million decrease in loans held for sale, which totaled $5.1 million at March 31, 2026. Home equity loans and lines of credit increased $424.4 million to $5.24 billion and the residential core mortgage loan portfolio decreased $339.8 million to $10.46 billion.
The changes in loans held for sale and loans held for investment were affected by the volume of loans originated, acquired and sold. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, residential mortgage loan origination and acquisitions were $567.1 million compared to $376.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2025. Of total residential mortgage loans originated and acquired during the most recent period, 80% were purchase transactions. Commitments originated for home equity loans and lines of credit were $1.10 billion for the six months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.19 billion for the six months ended March 31, 2025.
Other assets increased $41.2 million, or 36.9%, to $152.9 million at March 31, 2026 from $111.7 million at September 30, 2025. The increase largely stemmed from a $47.9 million increase in the margin requirement on swap contracts following the maturity of an investment security previously posted as collateral. This was partially offset by a $3.5 million decrease in deferred income tax assets and a $4.0 million decrease in interest receivables on swap contracts.
Deposits decreased $259.6 million, or 2.5%, to $10.19 billion at March 31, 2026 from $10.45 billion at September 30, 2025. The decrease was the result of a $965.2 million decrease in CDs and a $19.4 million decrease in money market deposit accounts, partially offset by increases of $711.2 million in savings accounts and $8.7 million in checking accounts. The decrease in total CDs included a $926.7 million decrease in retail CDs, the majority of which moved into savings accounts, and a $38.5 million decrease in brokered CD accounts. There were $862.4 million in brokered certificates of deposit at March 31, 2026 compared to $900.9 million at September 30, 2025.
Borrowed funds increased $272.2 million, or 5.6%, to $5.14 billion at March 31, 2026 from $4.87 billion at September 30, 2025. The balance of borrowed funds at March 31, 2026, all from the FHLB of Cincinnati, included $624.0 million of overnight advances, $1.53 billion of term advances with a weighted average maturity of approximately 1.5 years and $2.98 billion of term advances, aligned with interest rate swap contracts, with a remaining weighted average effective maturity of approximately 2.8 years.
Total shareholders' equity increased $28.5 million, or 1.5%, to $1.92 billion at March 31, 2026 from $1.89 billion at September 30, 2025. Activity reflects $45.5 million of net income, dividends paid of $30.1 million, $4.0 million in repurchases of the Company's common stock, a $12.4 million net decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss and net positive adjustments of $4.7 million related to our stock compensation and employee stock ownership plans. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income was primarily due to a net decrease in unrealized losses on swap contracts. During the six months ended March 31, 2026, a total of 288,196 shares of the Company's common stock were repurchased at an average cost of $13.86 per share. The Company's eighth stock repurchase program, authorized by the Board of Directors in October 2016, allows for a total of 10,000,000 shares to be repurchased, with 4,655,890 remaining shares authorized for repurchase at March 31, 2026.
The Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.2825 per share during each of the first two fiscal quarters of 2026. As a result of a mutual member vote, Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, MHC (the "MHC"), the mutual holding company that owns approximately 81% of the outstanding stock of the Company, was able to waive its receipt of its share of the dividends paid. Under Federal Reserve regulations, the MHC is required to obtain the approval of its members every 12 months for the MHC to waive its right to receive dividends. As a result of a July 8, 2025 member vote and subsequent non-objection of the Federal Reserve, the MHC has the approval to waive receipt of up to $1.13 per share of possible dividends to be declared on the Company’s common stock during the twelve months subsequent to the members’ approval (i.e., through July 8, 2026), including a total of up to $0.2825 remaining. The MHC has conducted the member vote to approve the dividend waiver each of the past twelve years under Federal Reserve regulations and for each of those twelve years, approximately 97% of the votes cast were in favor of the waiver.
The Company operates under the capital requirements for the standardized approach of the Basel III capital framework
for U.S. banking organizations (“Basel III Rules”). At March 31, 2026 all of the Company's capital ratios exceed the amounts required for the Company to be considered "well capitalized" for regulatory capital purposes. The Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.77%, its Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios were each 17.22% and its total capital ratio was 18.18%.
