NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule ~~10-01~~10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission ~~(SEC)~~(“SEC”) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, ~~2017,~~2023, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Operating results for the three- and ~~six-~~nine- month ~~period~~periods ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. For additional information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the ~~Company's~~Company’s June 30, ~~2017,~~2023 Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned ~~subsidiary, Southern Bank.~~subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization. Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the Company) was organized in 1994 and is the parent company of Southern Bank (the Bank). Substantially all of the ~~Company's~~Company’s consolidated revenues are derived from the operations of the Bank, and the Bank represents substantially all of the ~~Company's~~Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities. SB Real Estate Investments, LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank formed to hold Southern Bank Real Estate Investments, LLC. Southern Bank Real Estate Investments, LLC is a ~~REIT~~real estate investment trust (REIT) which is controlled by SB Real Estate Investments, LLC, ~~but which~~and has other preferred shareholders in order to meet the requirements to be a REIT. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, assets of the REIT were approximately ~~$388 million,~~$1.4 billion, and consisted primarily of real estate loan participations acquired from the Bank.

The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individuals and corporate customers in its market areas. The Bank and Company are subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank and Company are subject to the regulation byof certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. In the normal course of business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. Economic risk is comprised of interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities reprice on a different basis than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the ~~Company's~~Company’s investment or loan portfolios resulting from the ~~borrowers'~~borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of the investment portfolio, collateral underlying loans receivable, and the value of the ~~Company's~~Company’s investments in real estate.

Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned ~~subsidiary, the Bank.~~subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses, estimated fair values of purchased loans, ~~other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI),~~ and ~~fair value of financial instruments.~~

certain other assumptions and judgmental factors relating to investment securities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash, due from depository institutions and interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions were ~~$1.9~~$112.5 million and ~~$6.7~~$3.8 million at ~~December~~March 31, 2024 and June 30, ~~2017,~~2023, respectively. The deposits are held in various commercial banks ~~in amounts not~~with a total of $1.8 million and $1.3 million exceeding the ~~FDIC's~~FDIC’s deposit insurance limits at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, as well as at the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan ~~Bank~~Banks of Des ~~Moines. Non interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions were $16.3 million~~Moines and $9.7 million at December 31 and June 30, 2017, respectively, with the total held at Midwest Independent Bank, Jefferson City, Missouri. These totals include $16.1 million and $9.4 million, respectively, in items in transit.

Chicago.

Interest-bearing Time Deposits.Interest bearing time deposits in banks mature within ~~seven~~three years and are carried at cost.

Available for Sale Securities. Available for sale securities (“AFS”), which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive ~~income,~~loss, a component of ~~stockholders'~~stockholders’ equity. All securities have been classified as available for sale.

Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted as adjustments to income over the estimated life of the security using the level yield method. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities is based on the specific identification method. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

The Company does not invest in collateralized mortgage obligations that are considered high risk.

~~When the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely~~

For AFS securities with fair value less than not the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. As a result of this guidance, the Company's consolidated balance sheet as of the dates presented reflects the full impairment (that is, the difference between the security's amortized cost basis and fair value) on debt securities that the Company intends to sell or would more likely than not be required to sell before the expected recovery of the amortized cost basis. For available-for-sale debt securities that management has no intent to sell and believes that it more likely than not will not be required to sell prior to recovery, only the credit loss component of the impairment is recognized in earnings, while the noncredit loss is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as projected based on cash flow ~~projections.~~projections, and is recorded to the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”), by a charge to provision for credit losses. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Both the ACL and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if the Company intends to sell an impaired AFS security, or, if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount would be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there is no ACL in this situation.

The Company evaluates impaired AFS securities at the individual level on a quarterly basis, and considers factors including, but not limited to: the extent to which the fair value of the security is less than the amortized cost basis; adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or geographic area; the payment structure of the security and likelihood of the issuer to be able to make payments that may increase in the future; failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments; any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency; and the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. A qualitative determination as to whether any portion of the impairment is attributable to credit risk is acceptable. There were no credit related factors underlying unrealized losses on AFS securities at March 31, 2024, or June 30, 2023.

Changes in the ACL are recorded as expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an AFS debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank ~~and Federal Reserve Bank~~ Stock.The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank ~~(FHLB) system, and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.~~(“FHLB”) systems. Capital stock of the ~~FHLB~~Federal Reserve and the ~~Federal Reserve~~FHLB is a required investment of the Bank based upon a predetermined formula and is carried at cost.

Loans.Loans are generally stated at unpaid principal balances, less the ~~allowance for loan losses and~~ACL, any net deferred loan origination ~~fees.~~

fees, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Interest on loans is accrued based upon the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in ~~management's~~management’s judgment, the collectability of interest or principal in the normal course of business is doubtful. The Company complies with regulatory guidance which indicates that loans should be placed in nonaccrual status when 90 days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. A loan that is ~~"in~~“in the process of ~~collection"~~collection” may be subject to legal action or, in appropriate circumstances, through other collection efforts reasonably expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status in the near future. A loan is considered delinquent when a payment has not been made by the contractual due date. Interest income previously accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Cash receipts on a nonaccrual loan are applied to principal and interest in accordance with its contractual terms unless full payment of principal is not expected, in which case cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are applied as a reduction of the carrying value of the loan. A nonaccrual loan is generally returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are current, full collectability of principal and interest is reasonably assured, and a consistent record of performance has been demonstrated.

The ~~allowance~~ACL 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, and is established through a provision for credit losses ~~on loans represents management's best estimate of losses probable in the existing loan portfolio.~~(“PCL”) charged to current earnings. The ~~allowance for losses on loans~~ACL is increased by the provision for credit losses on loans charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Loans are charged off in the period deemed uncollectible, based on ~~management's~~management’s analysis of expected cash flows (for non-collateral dependent loans) or collateral value (for ~~collateral-~~

~~dependent~~collateral-dependent loans). Subsequent recoveries of loans previously charged off, if any, are credited to the allowance when received.

Management estimates the ACL using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Adjustments may be made to historical loss information for differences identified in current loan-specific risk characteristics, such as differences in underwriting standards or terms; lending review systems; experience, ability, or depth of lending management and staff; portfolio growth and mix; delinquency levels and trends; as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in economic activity or employment, agricultural economic conditions, property values, or other relevant factors. The ~~provision for~~Company generally incorporates a reasonable and supportable forecast period of four quarters, and a four-quarter, straight-line reversion period to return to long-term historical averages.

The ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. For loans that do not share general risk characteristics with the collectively evaluated pools, the Company estimates credit losses on an individual loan basis, and these loans are excluded from the collectively evaluated pools. An ACL for an individually evaluated loan is ~~determined based on management's assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluations of specific loans, changes in~~recorded when the ~~nature and volume~~amortized cost basis of the loan ~~portfolio, current economic conditions and~~exceeds the ~~related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experience, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.~~

Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Depending on a particular loan's circumstances, we measure impairment of a loan based upon either the present value of expected futurediscounted estimated cash flows ~~discounted at~~using the ~~loan's~~loan’s initial effective interest rate ~~the loan's observable market price,~~ or the fair value, ~~of the collateral~~ less estimated costs to sell, ifof the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. For the collectively evaluated pools, the Company segments the loan isportfolio primarily by loan purpose and collateral ~~dependent. Valuation allowances~~into 24 pools, which are ~~established for collateral-dependent impaired loans for the difference between the loan amount and fair value~~homogeneous groups of ~~collateral less estimated selling costs. For impaired~~ loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics. The Company primarily utilizes the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) methodology for measurement of the required ACL. For a limited number of pools with a relatively small balance of unpaid principal, the Company utilizes the remaining life method. The DCF model implements probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) calculations at the instrument level. PD and LGD are determined based on statistical analysis and correlation of historical losses with various economic factors over time. In general, the Company’s losses have not ~~collateral dependent, a valuation allowance is established for the difference between the loan amount~~correlated well with economic factors, and the ~~present value~~Company has utilized peer data where more appropriate. The Company defines a default to include an event of ~~expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate~~charge off, an adverse (substandard or ~~the observable market price~~worse) internal credit rating, becoming delinquent 90 days or more, or being

placed on nonaccrual status. A PD/LGD estimate is applied to a projected model of the loan. Impairment losses are recognized through an increase in the required allowance for loan losses. Cash receipts on loans deemed impaired are recorded based on the loan's separate status as a nonaccrual loan or an accrual status loan.

Some loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. For these loans ("purchased credit impaired loans"), the Company recorded a fair value discount and began carrying them at book value less their face amount (see Note 5). For these loans, we determined the contractual amount and timing of undiscountedloan’s cashflow, including principal and interest payments, ~~(the "undiscounted contractual cash flows"),~~with consideration for prepayment speeds, principal curtailments, and ~~estimated~~recovery lag.

Loans acquired in a business combination that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans. At the ~~amount~~acquisition date, an estimate of expected credit losses is made for groups of PCD loans with similar risk characteristics and ~~timing~~individual PCD loans without similar risk characteristics. This initial ACL is allocated to individual PCD loans and added to the purchase price or acquisition date fair values to establish the initial amortized cost basis of ~~undiscounted expected principal and interest payments, including expected prepayments (the "undiscounted expected cash flows"). Under acquired impaired loan accounting,~~ the PCD loans. As the initial ACL is added to the purchase price, there is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of a PCD loan. Any difference between the ~~undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference is an estimate~~unpaid principal balance of ~~the loss exposure of principal and interest related to the purchased credit impaired~~PCD loans and the ~~amount~~amortized cost basis is ~~subject~~considered to ~~change~~relate to non-credit factors and results in a discount or premium. Discounts and premiums are recognized through interest income on a level-yield method over ~~time based on~~ the ~~performance~~life of the loans. The carrying value of purchased credit impaired loans is initially determined as the discounted expected cash flows. The excess of expected cash flows at acquisition over the initial fair value of the purchased credit impaired loans is referred to as the "accretable yield" and is recorded as interest income over the estimated life of the acquired loans using the level-yield method, if the timing and amount of the future cash flows is reasonably estimable. The carrying value of purchased credit impaired loans is reduced by payments received, both principal and interest, and increased by the portion of the accretable yield recognized as interest income. Subsequent to acquisition, the Company evaluates the purchased credit impaired loans on a quarterly basis. Increases in expected cash flows compared to those previously estimated increase the accretable yield and are recognized as interest income prospectively. Decreases in expected cash flows compared to those previously estimated decrease the accretable yield and may result in the establishment of an allowance for loan losses and a provision for loan losses. Purchased credit impaired loans are generally considered accruing and performing loans, as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan when expected cash flows are reasonably estimable. Accordingly, purchased credit impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing as long as there is an expectation that the estimated cash flows will be received. If the timing and amount of cash flows is not reasonably estimable, the loans may be classified as nonaccrual loans.

Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures. Off-balance sheet credit instruments include commitments to make loans, and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan pool on a quarterly basis under the current CECL model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur and is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company records an ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable.

Foreclosed Real Estate.Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling ~~costs. Costs~~costs, establishing a new cost basis. Any costs for development and improvement of the property that are warranted are capitalized.

Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs.

Loans to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired in foreclosure are discounted if made at less than market rates. Discounts are amortized over the fixed interest period of each loan using the interest method.

Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and include expenditures for major betterments and renewals. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or sold, the retired asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss taken into income. The Company reviews property and equipment for

impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.

Depreciation is computed by use of straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated lives are generally seven to forty years for premises, three to seven years for equipment, and three years for software.

Bank Owned Life Insurance. Bank owned life insurance policies are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at the estimated cash surrender value. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies, as well as a portion of the insurance proceeds received, are recorded in noninterest income in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Goodwill. The ~~Company's~~Company’s goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. A qualitative assessment is performed to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, including goodwill. If, based on the evaluation, it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying value, then goodwill is tested further for impairment. If the implied fair value of goodwill is lower than its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are not recognized in the financial statements.

As of June 30, 2023, there was no impairment indicated, based on a qualitative assessment of goodwill, which considered: the market value of the Company’s common stock; concentrations of credit; profitability; nonperforming assets; capital levels; and results of recent regulatory examinations. There was no impairment of goodwill at March 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2023, there was no impairment indicated, and there was no impairment of other intangible assets at March 31, 2024.

Income Taxes.The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to ~~management's~~management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.

The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its ~~subsidiaries.~~

subsidiaries, the Bank and SB Real Estate Investments, LLC, with a tax year ended June 30. Southern Bank Real Estate Investments, LLC files a separate REIT return for federal tax purposes, and also files state income tax returns, with a tax year ended December 31.

Incentive ~~Plan.~~Plans.The Company accounts for its Equity Incentive Plan (EIP), and Omnibus Incentive Plan (OIP) in accordance with ASC 718, ~~"Share-Based~~“Share-Based Payment."” Compensation expense is based on the market price of the ~~Company's~~Company’s stock on the date the shares are granted and is recorded over the vesting period. The difference between the ~~aggregate purchase price~~grant-date fair value and the fair value on the date the shares are considered earned represents a tax benefit to the Company that is recorded as an adjustment to income tax expense.

~~Outside Directors'~~

Non-Employee Directors’ Retirement.The Bank ~~has~~ entered into adirectors’ retirement ~~agreement with most outside~~agreements beginning in April 1994 for non-employee directors ~~since April 1994. The directors'~~and continued to do so for new non-employee directors joining the Bank’s board through December 2014. These directors’ retirement agreements provide that each participating non-employee ~~directors~~director (participant) shall receive, upon termination of service on the Board on or after age 60, other than termination for cause, a benefit in equal annual installments over a five year period. The benefit will be based upon the product of the ~~participant's~~participant’s vesting percentage and the total Board fees paid to the participant during the calendar year preceding termination of service on the Board. The vesting percentage shall be determined based upon the ~~participant's~~participant’s years of service on the ~~Board, whether before or after the reorganization date.~~

Board.

In the event that the participant dies before collecting any or all of the benefits, the Bank shall pay the ~~participant's~~participant’s beneficiary. ~~No benefits~~Benefits shall not be payable to anyone other than the beneficiary, and shall terminate on the death of the beneficiary.

Stock Options. Compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued, and recognized over the vesting period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the award.

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share available to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders includes the effect of all weighted-average dilutive potential common shares (stock options and ~~warrants)~~restricted stock grants) outstanding during each period.

Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized ~~appreciation (depreciation)~~depreciation on available-for-sale securities, unrealized ~~appreciation (depreciation)~~depreciation on available-for-sale securities for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized in income, and changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans.

Transfers Between Fair Value Hierarchy Levels. Transfers in and out of Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (other significant observable inputs) and Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) are recognized on the period ending date.

Wealth Management Assets and Fees. Assets managed in fiduciary or investment management accounts by the Company are not included in the consolidated balance sheets since such items are not assets of the Company or its subsidiaries. Fees from fiduciary or investment management activities are recorded on a cash basis over the period in which the service is provided. Fees are generally a function of the market value of assets managed and administered, the volume of transactions, and fees for other services rendered, as set forth in the agreement between the customer and the Company. This revenue recognition involves the use of estimates and assumptions, including components that are calculated based on asset valuations and transaction volumes. Any out-of-pocket expenses or services not typically covered by the fee schedule for fiduciary activities are charged directly to the account on a gross basis as revenue is incurred. The ~~following paragraphs summarize~~Southern Wealth Management division, which is a division of the ~~impact~~Bank, held fiduciary assets totaling $104.8 million and $102.0 million as of ~~new accounting pronouncements:~~

March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively, and investment management assets totaling $480.0 million and $464.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements:

In ~~March 2017,~~January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees~~(“FASB”), published ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform. (Topic 848)”. ASU 2021-01 clarified that certain optional expedients and ~~Other Costs: Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (Subtopic 310-20).~~exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ~~Update amends~~ASU also amended the ~~amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The Update requires~~expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. For public companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt the ASU early, and there was not a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The objectiveincremental consequences of the ~~Update is~~scope clarification and to ~~expand~~tailor the ~~simplification~~existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition.

2022, new hedging relationships entered into after December 31, 2022, and existing hedging relationships evaluated for effectiveness in periods after December 31, 2022 except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that apply certain optional expedients in which the accounting effects are recorded through the end of the hedging relationship (including periods after December 31, 2022). With the issuance of ASU 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, the sunset date for adoption ~~is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. Management~~of ASU 2021-01 was extended from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of ~~the new guidance,~~this ASU but does not expect ~~the adoption of this guidance~~it to have a material impact on the ~~Company's~~Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In ~~October 2016,~~March 2023, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-16, Income Taxes~~2023-02, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic ~~740). The Update provides guidance~~323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method.” This ASU permits reporting entities to ~~improve~~elect to account for tax equity investments, regardless of the ~~accounting~~tax credit program for which the income tax ~~consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory.~~credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the ~~new guidance, companies should recognize~~proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the income tax ~~consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset~~credits and other ~~than inventory when~~income tax benefits received and recognizes the ~~transfer occurs.

For public companies,~~income tax expense. A reporting entity makes an accounting policy election to apply the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash payments. The Update provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, with the objective of reducing the diversity in practice. The Update addresses eight specific cash flow issues. For public companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and should be applied retrospectively. Management is evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The Update amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The Update affects loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. For public companies, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is available beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption will be appliedproportional amortization method on a ~~modified retrospective~~tax-credit-program-by-tax-credit-program basis ~~through~~rather than electing to apply the proportional amortization method at the reporting entity level or to individual investments.

Management is evaluating~~apply the impact, if any, this new guidance will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but cannot yet reasonably estimate the impact of adoption. The Company has formed a working group of key personnel responsible for the allowance for loan losses estimate and has initiated its evaluation of the data and systems requirements of adoption of the Update.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The objective of the Update is to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes and forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Update was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2017, and did not have a material effect on the Company's income taxes or the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases," to revise the accounting related to lease accounting. Under the new guidance, a lessee is required to record a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.proportional amortization method. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the standard requires the use of a modified retrospective transition approach for all periods presented at the time of adoption. Management is evaluating the impact of the new guidance, but2023. The Company does not expect ~~the~~ adoption of ~~this guidance~~ASU 2023-02 to have a material impact on ~~the Company's~~its consolidated financial statements.

On July 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.” ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs in ASC 310-40, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” for entities that have adopted the CECL model introduced by ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2022-02 also requires that public business entities disclose current-period gross charge offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measured at Amortized Cost.” The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In ~~January 2016,~~December 2023, the FASB issued ASU ~~2016-01, "Recognition~~2023-09, “Income Taxes - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)”.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Summary and Amendments that Create Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers (Subtopic 340-40). The guidance in this Update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the codification. For public companies, the original Update was to be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The current ASU states that the provisions of ASU 2014-09 should be applied to annual reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company does not expect the new standard to result in a material change to our accounting for revenue because the majority of our financial instruments are not within the scope of Topic 606, however, it may result in new disclosure requirements.

Obligations of ~~$943,000~~state and political subdivisions. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in obligations of ~~$465,000~~state and political subdivisions include five individual securities which have been in ~~a continuous~~an unrealized loss position for ~~twelve~~less than 12 months ~~or more. These~~and 45 individual securities which have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The securities are performing and are of high credit quality. The unrealized losses were primarily due to the long-term nature of the pooled trust preferred securities and a reduced demand for these securities, and concerns regarding the financial institutions that issued the underlying trust preferred securities. Rules adoptedcaused by ~~the federal banking agencies~~increases in ~~December 2013 to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act (the "Volcker Rule") generally prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading and from investing in, sponsoring,~~market interest rates since purchase or having certain relationships with a hedge fund or private equity fund. All pooled trust preferred securities owned by the Company were included in a January 2014 listing of securities which the agencies considered to be grandfathered with regard to these prohibitions; as such, banking entities are permitted to retain their interest in these securities, provided the interest was acquired on or before December 10, 2013, unless acquired pursuant to a merger or acquisition.

The December 31, 2017, cash flow analysis for these three securities indicated it is probable the Company will receive all contracted principal and related interest projected. The cash flow analysis used in making this determination was based on anticipated default, recovery, and prepayment rates, and the resulting cash flows were discounted based on the yield spread anticipated at the time the securities were purchased. Other inputs include the actual collateral attributes, which include credit ratings and other performance indicators of the underlying financial institutions, including profitability, capital ratios, and asset quality. Assumptions for these three securities included annualized prepayments of 1.3 to 1.7 percent; recoveries of 21 percent on currently deferred issuers within the next two years; new deferrals of 40 to 50 basis points annually; and eventual recoveries of eight to ten percent of new deferrals.

One of these three securities has continued to receive cash interest payments in full since our purchase; two of the three securities received principal-in-kind (PIK), in lieu of cash interest, for a period of time following the recession and financial crisis which began in 2008, but have since resumed cash interest payments. One of the two securities which were in PIK status resumed cash interest payments during fiscal 2014, and the second resumed cash interest payments during fiscal 2017. Our cash flow analysis indicates that cash interest payments are expected to continue for the three securities. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not ~~more-likely-than-not~~ that the Company will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company has not recorded an ACL on these securities.

Corporate and other Obligations. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in corporate obligations include one security which has been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months and 19 individual securities which have been in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The securities are performing and are of high credit quality. The unrealized losses were caused by increases in market interest rates since purchase or acquisition.

The securities are performing and are of high credit quality. The unrealized loss was caused by variations in market interest rates since purchase or acquisition.

MBS and CMOs. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in MBS and CMOs include 21 individual securities which have been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, and 113 individual securities which have been in an unrealized loss position for 12 months or more. The securities are performing and are of high credit quality. The unrealized losses were caused by increases in market interest rates since purchase or acquisition. Because the Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company has not recorded an ACL on these securities.

The Company does not believe that any ~~other~~ individual unrealized loss as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017, represents OTTI.~~2024, is the result of a credit loss. However, the Company could be required to recognize ~~OTTI losses~~an ACL in future periods with respect to its available for sale investment securities portfolio. The amount and timing of any additional OTTI will depend on the decline in the underlying cash flows of the securities. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

The ~~Company's~~Company’s lending activities consist of ~~origination of~~originating loans secured by mortgages on one- to four-family residences and commercial and agricultural real estate, construction loans on residential and commercial properties, commercial and agricultural business loans and consumer loans. ~~The Company has also occasionally~~At March 31, 2024, the Bank had purchased ~~loan participation interests originated by other lenders and secured by properties generally located~~participations in ~~the states of Missouri and Arkansas.~~

69 loans totaling $174.6 million, as compared to 86 loans totaling $155.6 million at June 30, 2023.

Residential Mortgage Lending.The Company actively originates loans for the acquisition or refinance of one- to four-family residences. This category includes both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage ~~("ARM"~~(“ARM”) loans amortizing over

-18-

Table of Contents

periods of up to 30 years, and the properties securing such loans may be owner-occupied or non-owner-occupied. Single-family residential loans do not generally exceed 90% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price of the secured property. Substantially all of the one- to four-family residential mortgage originations in the ~~Company's~~Company’s portfolio are located within the ~~Company's~~Company’s primary lending area.

General risks related to one- to four-family residential lending include stability of borrower income and collateral values.

The Company also originates loans secured by multi-family residential properties that are often located outside the ~~Company's~~Company’s primary lending area but made to borrowers who operate within ~~the~~our primary market area. The majority

of the multi-family residential loans that ~~are~~have been originated by the ~~Bank~~Company are amortized over periods generally up to 25 years, with balloon maturities typically up to ten years. Both fixed and adjustable interest rates are offered and it is typical for the Company to include an interest rate ~~"floor"~~“floor” and ~~"ceiling"~~“ceiling” in the loan agreement. Generally, multi-family residential loans do not exceed 85% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price of the secured property.

General risks related to multi-family residential lending include rental demand and supply, rental rates, and vacancies, as well as collateral values and borrower leverage.

Commercial Real Estate Lending.The Company actively originates loans secured by owner- and non-owner-occupied commercial real estate including farmland, single- and multi-tenant retail properties, restaurants, hotels, land (improved ~~unimproved,~~ and ~~farmland)~~unimproved), ~~strip shopping~~nursing homes and other healthcare facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, ~~retail establishments~~convenience stores, automobile dealerships and other automotive-related services, and other businesses. These properties are typically owned and operated by borrowers headquartered within the ~~Company's~~Company’s primary lending area, however, the property may be located outside our primary lending area.

Risks to owner-occupied commercial real estate lending generally include the continued profitable operation of the borrower’s enterprise, as well as general collateral values, and may be heightened by unique, specific uses of the property serving as collateral. Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate lending risks include tenant demand and performance, lease rates, and vacancies, as well as collateral values and borrower leverage. These factors may be influenced by general economic conditions in the region, or in the United States generally. Risks to lending on farmland include unique factors such as commodity prices, yields, input costs, and weather, as well as farmland values.

Most commercial real estate loans originated by the Company generally are based on amortization schedules of up to 25 years with monthly principal and interest payments. Generally, the interest rate received on these loans is fixed for a maturity ~~for~~of up to ~~seven~~ten years, with a balloon payment due at maturity. Alternatively, for some loans, the interest rate adjusts at least annually after an initial period up to seven years. The Company typically includes an interest rate ~~"floor"~~“floor” in the loan agreement. Generally, improved commercial real estate loan amounts do not exceed 80% of the lower of the appraised value or the purchase price of the secured property. Agricultural real estate terms offered differ slightly, with amortization schedules of up to 25 years with an 80% loan-to-value ratio, or 30 years with a 75% loan-to-value ratio.

Construction Lending.The Company originates real estate loans secured by property or land that is under construction or development. Construction loans originated by the Company are generally ~~secured by mortgage loans for~~to finance the construction of ~~owner occupied~~owner-occupied residential real estate, or to finance speculative construction ~~secured by~~of residential real estate, land development, or owner-operated or non-owner occupied commercial real estate. During construction, these loans typically require monthly interest-only payments, ~~and have~~with single-family residential construction loans having maturities ranging from six to twelve months, while multi-family or commercial construction loans typically mature in 12 to 36 months. Once construction is completed, construction loans may be converted to ~~permanent status with~~ monthly payments using amortization schedules of up to 30 years on residential and generally up to 25 years on commercial real estate.

Construction and development lending risks generally include successful timely and on-budget completion of the project, followed by the sale of the property in the case of land development or non-owner-occupied real estate, or the long-term occupancy of the property by the builder in the case of owner-occupied construction. Changes in real estate values or other economic conditions may impact the ability of a borrower to sell property developed for that purpose.

While the Company typically utilizes relatively short maturity periods ~~ranging from 6 to 12 months~~ to closely monitor the inherent risks associated with construction loans for these loans, weather conditions, change orders, availability of materials and/or labor, and other factors may contribute to the lengthening of a project, thus necessitating the need to renew the construction loan at the balloon maturity. Such extensions are typically executed in incremental ~~three month~~three-month periods to facilitate project completion. The ~~Company's~~Company’s average term of construction loans is approximately ~~eight~~12 months. During construction, loans typically require monthly ~~interest only~~interest-only payments which may allow the Company an opportunity to monitor for early

signs of financial difficulty should the borrower fail to make a required monthly payment. Additionally, during the construction phase, the Company typically ~~obtains~~performs interim inspections ~~completed by an independent third party. This monitoring~~which further ~~allows~~provide the Company an opportunity to assess risk. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, construction loans outstanding included 5741 loans, totaling ~~$10.7~~$18.0 million, for which a modification had been agreed to. At June 30, ~~2017,~~2023, construction loans outstanding included 5053 loans, totaling ~~$10.3~~$33.4 million, for which a modification had been agreed to. ~~All~~In general, these modifications were solely for the purpose of extending the maturity date due to conditions described ~~above. None of~~above, pursuant to the Company’s normal underwriting and monitoring procedures. As these modifications were not executed due to financial difficulty on the part of the borrower, ~~and, therefore,~~they were not accounted for as ~~TDRs.~~

modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

Consumer Lending. The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity, direct and indirect automobile loans, second mortgages, mobile home loans and loans secured by deposits. The Company originates substantially all of its consumer loans in its primary lending area. Usually, consumer loans are originated with fixed rates for terms of up to ~~five years,~~66 months, with the exception of home equity lines of credit, which are variable, tied to the prime rate of interest and are for a period of ten years.

Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are secured with a deed of trust and are issued up to ~~100%~~90% of the appraised or assessed value of the property securing the line of credit, less the outstanding balance on the first mortgage and are typically issued for a term of ten years. Interest rates on the HELOCs are generally adjustable. Interest rates are based upon the loan-to-value ratio of the property with better rates given to borrowers with more equity.

Risks related to HELOC lending generally include the stability of borrower income and collateral values.

Automobile loans originated by the Company include both direct loans and a smaller amount of loans originated by auto dealers. The Company generally pays a negotiated fee back to the dealer for indirect loans. Typically, automobile loans are made for terms of up to 6066 months for new and used vehicles. Loans secured by automobiles have fixed rates and are generally made in amounts up to 100% of the purchase price of the vehicle.

Risks to automobile and other consumer lending generally include the stability of borrower income and borrower willingness to repay.

Commercial Business Lending. The ~~Company's~~Company’s commercial business lending activities encompass loans with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and operating lines of credit, including agricultural production and equipment loans. The Company offers both fixed and adjustable rate commercial business loans. Generally, commercial loans secured by fixed assets are amortized over periods up to five years, while commercial operating lines of credit or agricultural production lines are generally for a one year period. Commercial lending risk is primarily driven by the borrower’s successful generation of cash flow from their business enterprise sufficient to service debt, and may be influenced by factors specific to the borrower and industry, or by general economic conditions in the region or in the United States generally. Agricultural production or equipment lending includes unique additional risk factors such as commodity prices, yields, input costs, and weather, as well as farm equipment values.

Allowance for Credit Losses. The PCL for the three- and nine- month periods ended March 31, 2024, was $900,000 and $2.7 million, respectively, compared to $10.1 million and $16.3 million in the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The PCL for the nine- month period ended March 31, 2024 was the result of a $4.9 million provision attributable to the ACL for loan balances outstanding, partially offset by a recovery of $2.2 million in provision attributable to the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures. In the same period of the prior fiscal year, the ACL required for PCD loans acquired in the Citizens merger was $1.1 million, and was funded through purchase accounting adjustments, while the ACL required for non-PCD loans acquired in the Citizens merger was $5.2 million, and was funded through a charge to PCL. Additionally, the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures in the prior period was increased by $1.8 million due to the Citizens merger and funded through a charge to PCL. Exclusive of the charges required as a result of the Citizens merger, the Company would have recorded a PCL of approximately $3.1 million and $9.3 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2023, respectively, of which $2.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively, were attributable to the required ACL for loan balances outstanding, while $1.1 million and $2.7 million, respectively, were attributable to the required allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures, for the three- and nine-month periods. The Company’s assessment of the economic outlook at March 31, 2024, was slightly improved as compared to the assessment as of June 30, 2023. Qualitative adjustments in the Company’s ACL model were slightly decreased based on a reduction in the pace of growth in the Company’s loan portfolio. The Company modestly increased ACL adjustments to some individually analyzed classified loans that have been slow to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and other

-20-

Table of Contents

smaller balance loans. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, the Company recorded net charge offs of five basis points (annualized) for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compared to two basis points in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Decreased provisioning for off-balance sheet credit exposures is attributable primarily to changes in the level of outstanding credit commitments. The Company has estimated its expected credit losses as of March 31, 2024, under ASC 326-20, and management believes the ACL as of that date is adequate based on that estimate. Specifically, management considered the following primary qualitative items in its estimate of the ACL:

● economic conditions and projections as provided by Moody’s Analytics, including baseline and downside scenarios, were utilized in the Company’s estimate at March 31, 2024. Economic factors considered in the projections included national and state levels of unemployment, and national and state rates of inflation-adjusted growth in the gross domestic product. Economic conditions are considered to be a moderate and stable risk factor, relative to June 30, 2023;

● the pace of growth of the Company’s loan portfolio, exclusive of acquisitions or government guaranteed loans, relative to overall economic growth. This measure is considered to be a moderate and slightly decreasing risk factor, relative to June 30, 2023;

● levels and trends for loan delinquencies nationally and in the region. This is considered to be a low and stable risk factor, relative to June 30, 2023;

PCD Loans. In connection with the acquisition of Citizens Bancshares, Co. (“Citizens”) on January 20, 2023, and Fortune Financial Corporation (“Fortune”) on February 25, 2022, the Company acquired loans both with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination. Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition with no carryover from the acquired institution’s previously recorded allowance for loan and lease losses. Acquired loans are accounted for under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.

The fair value of acquired loans recorded at the time of acquisition is based upon several factors, including the timing and payment of expected cash flows, as adjusted for estimated credit losses and prepayments, and then discounting these cash flows using comparable market rates. The resulting fair value adjustment is recorded in the form of a premium or discount to the unpaid principal balance of the respective loans. As it relates to acquired loans that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination, the net premium or net discount is adjusted to reflect the Company’s allowance for credit losses recorded for PCD loans at the time of acquisition, and the remaining fair value adjustment is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. As it relates to loans not classified as PCD (“non-PCD”) loans, the credit loss and yield components of their fair value adjustment are aggregated, and the resulting net premium or net discount is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. The Company records an ACL for non-PCD loans at the time of acquisition through provision expense, and therefore, no further adjustments are made to the net premium or net discount for non-PCD loans.

Loans that the Company acquired from Citizens and Fortune, that at the time of acquisition had more-than-insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination, are classified as PCD loans and presented in the tables below at acquisition carrying value:

The current fiscal year-to-date gross charge-offs by loan class and year of ~~loans~~origination is subject to estimates regarding future cash flows from operations and the value of property, real and personal, pledged as collateral. These estimates are affected by changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers.

~~The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that, in management's judgment, is adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent~~presented in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when an amount is determined to be uncollectible, based on management's analysis of expected cash flow (for non-collateral-dependent loans) or collateral value (for collateral-dependent loans). Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan

portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.

Under the Company's methodology, loans are first segmented into 1) those comprising large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, including single-family mortgages and installment loans, which are collectively evaluated for impairment, and 2) all other loans which are individually evaluated. Those loans in the second category are further segmented utilizing a defined grading system which involves categorizing loans by severity of risk based on conditions that may affect the ability of the borrowers to repay their debt, such as current financial information, collateral valuations, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current trends. The loans subject to credit classification represent the portion of the portfolio subject to the greatest credit risk and where adjustments to the allowance for losses on loans as a result of provision and charge offs are most likely to have a significant impact on operations.

A periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size and type) is conducted to identify loans with heightened risk or probable losses and to assign risk grades. The primary responsibility for this review rests with loan administration personnel. This review is supplemented with periodic examinations of both selected credits and the credit review process by the Company's internal audit function and applicable regulatory agencies. The information from these reviews assists management in the timely identification of problems and potential problems and provides a basis for deciding whether the credit represents a probable loss or risk that should be recognized.

The Company considers, as the primary quantitative factor in its allowance methodology, average net charge offs over the most recent twelve-month period. The Company also reviews average net charge offs over the most recent five-year period.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the scheduled payments of principal or interest will not be able to be collected when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and agricultural loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group's historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. Accordingly, individual consumer and residential loans are not separately identified for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.

The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on quantitative and qualitative factors. The loan portfolio is stratified into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss characteristics and an appropriate loss ratio adjusted for qualitative factors is applied to the homogeneous pools of loans to estimate the incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

Included in the Company's loan portfolio are certain loans accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. These loans were written down at acquisition to an amount estimated to be collectible. As a result, certain ratios regarding the Company's loan portfolio and credit quality cannot be used to compare the Company to peer companies or to compare the Company's current credit quality to prior periods. The ratios particularly affected by accounting under ASC 310-30 include the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans, nonaccrual loans, and nonperforming assets, and nonaccrual loans and nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans.

~~The~~ following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company's loan portfolio (excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees) based on rating category and payment activity as of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017. These

~~tables include purchased credit impaired loans, which are reported according to risk categorization after acquisition based on the Company's standards for such classification:~~

Credit Quality Indicators. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on all loans at origination, and is updated on a quarterly basis for loans risk rated Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, or Doubtful. In addition, lending relationships of $1$3 million or more, exclusive of any consumer or owner-occupied residential loan, are subject to an

Table of Contents

annual credit analysis which is prepared by the loan administration department and presented to a loan committee with appropriate lending authority. A sample of lending relationships in excess of ~~$2.5~~$1 million (exclusive of single-family residential real estate loans) are subject to an independent loan review annually, in order to verify risk ratings. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Watch – Loans classified as watch exhibit weaknesses that require more than usual monitoring. Issues may include deteriorating financial condition, payments made after due date but within 30 days, adverse industry conditions or management problems.

Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention exhibit signs of further deterioration but still generally make payments within 30 days. This is a transitional rating and loans should typically not be rated Special Mention for more than 12 months.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard possess weaknesses that jeopardize the ultimate collection of the principal and interest outstanding. These loans exhibit continued financial losses, ongoing delinquency, overall poor financial condition, and insufficient collateral. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses of substandard loans, and have deteriorated to the level that there is a high probability of substantial loss.

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

A periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size and type) is conducted to identify loans with heightened risk or probable losses and to assign risk grades. The primary responsibility for this review rests with loan administration personnel. This review is supplemented with periodic examinations of both selected credits and the credit review process by the Company’s internal audit function and applicable regulatory agencies. The information from these reviews assists management in the timely identification of problems and potential problems and provides a basis for deciding whether the credit continues to share similar risk characteristics with collectively evaluated loan pools, or whether credit losses for the loan should be evaluated on an individual loan basis.

At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, and June 30, 2023 there was ~~one purchased credit impaired~~no PCD loan that was greater than 90 days past ~~due~~due.

Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not adversely classified or determined to not share similar risk characteristics with collectively evaluated pools of loans for determination of the ACL estimate. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a ~~net value~~case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of ~~$168,000. At June 30, 2017 there were no purchased credit impaired loans that were greater than 90 days past due.~~

Athe circumstances surrounding the loan ~~is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information~~ and ~~events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from~~ the borrower, ~~in accordance with~~including the ~~contractual terms~~length of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming loans, as well as performing loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction indelay, the ~~interest rate on~~reasons for the ~~loan,~~delay, the borrower’s prior payment ~~extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.~~

~~The tables below present impaired loans (excluding loans in process~~record and deferred loan fees) as of December 31 and June 30, 2017. These tables include purchased credit impaired loans. Purchased credit impaired loans are those for which it was deemed probable, at acquisition, that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. In an instance where, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company determines it is probable, for a specific loan, that cash flows received will exceed the amount previously expected, the Company will recalculate the amount of ~~accretable yield~~the shortfall in order to recognize the improved cash flow expectation as additional interest income over the remaining life of the loan. These loans, however, will continue to be reported as impaired loans. In an instance where, subsequentrelation to the ~~acquisition, the Company determines it is probable,~~principal and interest owed. Significant payment delays or shortfalls may lead to a determination that a loan should be individually evaluated for ~~a specific loan, that cash flows received will be less than the amount previously expected, the Company will allocate a specific allowance under the terms of ASC 310-10-35.~~

TDRs. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, the Company’s loans that were subject to classification as TDRs were generally the result of guidance under ASU No. 2011-02, which indicated that the Company may not consider the borrower’s effective borrowing rate ~~payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions.~~on the old debt immediately before the restructuring in determining whether a concession has been granted. Certain TDRs ~~are~~were classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and typically ~~are~~were returned to performing status after considering the ~~borrower's~~borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period of at least six months.

When loans and leases are modified into a TDR, the Company evaluates any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan or lease agreement, and uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, for collateral dependent loans. If the Company determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, the Company evaluates all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment and recognizes impairment through the allowance.

During the three- and ~~six-month~~nine- month periods ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017 and 2016, certain~~2023, there were no loans modified ~~were classified~~ as TDRs. ~~They are shown, segregated by class, in the table below:~~

Leases. The Company elected certain relief options under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), including the option not to recognize right of use asset and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). At ~~acquisition, certain transferred loans evidenced deterioration of credit quality since origination~~March 31, 2024, the Company had 13 leased properties, which included banking facilities, administrative offices and ground leases, and numerous office equipment lease agreements in which it was ~~probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.~~

~~Loans purchased~~the lessee, with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration aslease terms exceeding twelve months.

All of the ~~purchase date may include information such~~Company’s leases are classified as ~~past-due~~operating leases. These operating leases are included as a ROU asset in the premises and ~~nonaccrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan to value percentages. Purchased credit-impaired loans are accounted for under~~equipment line item on the accounting guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30) and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses related to these loans is not carried over and recorded at the acquisition date. Management estimated the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition using our internal risk models, which incorporate the estimate of current key assumptions, such as default rates, severity and prepayment speeds.

Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The ~~carrying amount of those loans~~corresponding lease liability is included in the accounts payable and other liabilities line item on the Company’s consolidated balance ~~sheet amounts~~sheets.

In the February 2022 acquisition of ~~loans receivable at December 31~~Fortune, the Company assumed a ground lease with an entity that is controlled by a Company insider. This property is in St. Louis County, MO and ~~June 30, 2017.~~is in its fourth year of a twenty year term.

ASU 2016-02 also requires certain other accounting elections. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualify, meaning those with terms under twelve months. ROU assets or lease liabilities are not to be recognized for short-term leases. The calculated amount of ~~these loans is shown below:~~

(dollars in thousands) December 31, 2017 June 30, 2017
Residential real estate $ 4,080 $ 4,158
Construction real estate 1,609 1,660
Commercial real estate 11,134 13,394
Consumer loans - -
Commercial loans 3,876 4,502
      Outstanding balance $ 20,699 $ 23,714
     Carrying amount, net of fair value adjustment of
     $3,264 and $3,584 at December 31, 2017, and
     June 30, 2017, respectively
$ 17,435 $ 20,130

~~Accretable yield,~~the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table below are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or ~~income expected~~more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be ~~collected,~~reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, the ASU requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception over a similar term. The expected lease terms range from 18 months to 20 years.

Note 11: Fair Value Measurements

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Recurring Measurements.The following table presents the fair value measurements ~~of assets~~ recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at ~~December~~March 31, 2024 and June 30, ~~2017:~~

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. ~~There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period ended December 31, 2017.~~

Available-for-sale Securities.When quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1. ~~The Company does not have Level 1 securities.~~ If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. For these securities, ~~our~~the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the ~~bond's~~bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, state and political subdivisions, other securities, mortgage-backed GSE residential securities and mortgage-backed other U.S. Government agencies. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. For assets classified within Level 3 of fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value process is described below.

~~Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent).~~ A collateral dependent loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that all of the principal and interest due may not be collected according to its contractual terms. Generally, when a collateral dependent loan is considered impaired, the amount of reserve required is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Company makes such measurements on all material collateral dependent loans deemed impaired using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The fair value of collateral used by the Company is determined by obtaining an observable market price or by obtaining an appraised value from an independent, licensed or certified appraiser, using observable market data. This data includes information such as selling price of similar properties and capitalization rates of similar properties sold within the market, expected future cash flows or earnings of the subject property based on current market expectations, and other relevant factors. In addition, management applies selling and other discounts to the underlying collateral value to determine the fair value. If an appraised value is not available, the fair value of the collateral dependent impaired loan is determined by an adjusted appraised value including unobservable cash flows.

On a quarterly basis, loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss are evaluated including the loan officer's review of the collateral and its current condition, the Company's knowledge of the current economic environment in the market where the collateral is located, and the Company's recent experience with real estate in the area. The date of the appraisal is also considered in conjunction with the economic environment and any decline in the real estate market since the appraisal was obtained. For all loan types, updated appraisals are obtained if considered necessary. In instances where the economic environment has worsened and/or the real estate market declined since the last appraisal, a higher distressed sale discount would be applied to the appraised value.

The Company records collateral dependent impaired loans based on nonrecurring Level 3 inputs. If a collateral dependent loan's fair value, as estimated by the Company, is less than its carrying value, the Company either records a charge-off of the portion of the loan that exceeds the fair value or establishes a specific reserve as part of the allowance for loan losses. There were no loans measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31 or June 30, 2017.

Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets Held for Sale.Foreclosed and repossessed assets held for sale are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon or collateral is repossessed and the asset is transferred to foreclosed or repossessed assets held for sale. The value of the asset is based on third party or internal appraisals, less estimated costs to sell and appropriate discounts, if any. The appraisals are generally discounted based on current and expected market conditions that may impact the sale or value of the asset and ~~management's~~management’s knowledge and experience with similar assets. Such discounts typically may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value of these assets. Foreclosed and repossessed assets held for sale are continually evaluated for additional impairment and are adjusted accordingly if impairment is identified.

~~The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments:~~

Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing time deposits are valued at their carrying amounts, which approximates book value. Stock in FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.

The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Non-maturity deposits and securities sold under agreements are valued at their carrying value, which approximates fair value. Fair value of advances from the FHLB is estimated by discounting maturities using an estimate of the current market for similar instruments. The fair value of subordinated debt is estimated using rates currently available to

Note 12: Business Combinations

On January 20, 2023, the Company ~~for debt with similar terms and maturities. The fair value~~completed its acquisition of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

~~Note 12:~~ ~~Business Combinations~~

~~On August 17, 2017, the Company announced the signing of an agreement and plan of merger whereby Southern Missouri Bancshares, Inc. ("Bancshares"),~~Citizens and its ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiary, ~~Southern Missouri~~Citizens Bank, ~~of Marshfield, will be acquired by the Company~~ in a stock and cash transaction valued at approximately $15.1 million, (representing 140% of Bancshares' anticipated capital, as adjusted, at closing). At December 31, 2017, Bancshares held consolidated assets of $86.7 million, loans, net, of $68.4 million, and deposits of $70.1 million. The transaction is expected to close intransaction. In late February 2023, the ~~first quarter of calendar year 2018, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approvals. The acquired financial institution is expected to be~~Company merged Citizens Bank with and into Southern Bank, ~~shortly after~~coincident to the ~~acquisition of Bancshares in~~data systems conversion. For the ~~first quarter of calendar year 2018. Through December~~three- and nine- month periods ended March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, the Company incurred ~~a total $152,000~~$4,000 and $98,000, respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $4.1 million in the same periods of the prior fiscal year, of third-party acquisition-related costs, ~~with $77,000 and $127,000 being~~ included in noninterest expense in the ~~Company's~~Company’s condensed consolidated ~~statement~~statements of ~~income~~income.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price is allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values on the date of the acquisition. Based on preliminary valuations of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the purchase price for the ~~three-~~Citizens acquisition is detailed in the following table. If, prior to the end of the one-year measurement period for finalizing the purchase price allocation, information becomes available about facts and ~~six- months ended December~~circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, which would indicate adjustments are required to the purchase price allocation, such adjustments will be included in the purchase price allocation retrospectively.

None of the purchase price is deductible. Goodwill is attributable to synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Bank and Citizens Bank. To the extent that management revises any of the fair value of the above fair value adjustments as a result of continuing evaluation, the amount of goodwill recorded in the merger will change.

The Company acquired the $461.5 million loan portfolio at an estimated fair value discount of $14.1 million. The excess of expected cash flows above the fair value of the performing portion of loans is being accreted to interest income over the remaining lives of the loans in accordance with ASC 310-30. Loans acquired that were not subject to guidance relating to PCD loans include loans with a fair value of $419.5 million and gross contractual amounts receivable of $520.0 million at the date of acquisition.

SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.

General

Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (Southern Missouri or Company) is a Missouri corporation and owns all of the outstanding stock of Southern Bank (the Bank). The ~~Company's~~Company’s earnings are primarily dependent on the operations of the Bank. As a result, the following discussion relates primarily to the operations of the Bank. The ~~Bank's~~Bank’s deposit accounts are generally insured up to a maximum of $250,000 by the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, the Bank operated from its headquarters, 3762 full-service branch offices, and three limited-service branch offices. The Bank owns the office building and related land in which its headquarters are located, and 3559 of its other branch offices. The remaining ~~five~~six branches are either leased or partially owned.

The significant accounting policies followed by Southern Missouri ~~Bancorp, Inc.~~ and its wholly owned subsidiaries for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting. All adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported, have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated condensed financial statements.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, ~~2017,~~2023, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date.

Critical Accounting Policies

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are complex and require management to apply significant judgments to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management of the Company must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. For a complete discussion of the ~~Company's~~Company’s significant accounting policies, see ~~"Notes~~“Notes to the Consolidated Financial ~~Statements"~~Statements” in the ~~Company's 2017~~Company’s 2023 Annual ~~Report.~~Report on Form 10-K and more recent changes, if any, would be included in Note 2 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Form 10-Q. Certain policies are considered critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of the ~~Company's~~Company’s Board of Directors. For a discussion of applying critical accounting policies, see ~~"Critical~~“Critical Accounting ~~Policies"~~Policies and Estimates” beginning on page 5364 in the ~~Company's 2017~~Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

Executive Summary

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest margin, which is directly impacted by the interest rate environment. The net interest margin represents interest income earned on interest-earning assets (primarily real estate loans, commercial and agricultural loans, and the investment portfolio), less interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (primarily interest-bearing transaction accounts, certificates of deposit, savings and money market deposit accounts, ~~repurchase agreements,~~ and borrowed funds), as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin is directly impacted by the spread between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates, as our interest-earning assets, particularly those with initial terms to maturity or repricing greater than one year, generally price off longer term rates while our interest-bearing liabilities generally price off shorter term interest rates. This difference in longer term and shorter term interest rates is often referred to as the steepness of the yield curve. A steep yield curve – in which the difference in interest rates between short term and long term periods is relatively large – could be beneficial to our net interest income, as the interest rate spread between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities would be larger. Conversely, a flat or flattening yield curve, in which the difference in rates between short term and long term periods is relatively small or shrinking, or an inverted yield curve, in which short term rates exceed long term rates, could have an adverse impact on our net interest income, as our interest rate spread could decrease.

Our results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, particularly those with respect to changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal ~~2018, we grew our balance sheet~~2024, total assets increased by ~~$69.0~~$286.8 million. ~~Balance sheet growth~~The increase was primarily attributable to ~~loan growth. Loans,~~an increase in net loans receivable, cash equivalents, and available for sale (AFS) securities. Cash equivalents increased by $113.5 million; AFS securities increased $16.1 million; and loans, net of the ~~allowance for loan losses,~~ACL, increased ~~$55.2~~$148.8 million. ~~Available-for-sale investments~~Liabilities increased ~~$3.9~~$253.3 million, ~~and cash equivalents and time deposits increased a combined $4.2 million. Deposits increased $53.4 million, inclusive of a $44.3 million~~including an increase in ~~public unit~~ deposits ~~and net~~ of a

~~$37.5 reduction in traditional brokered certificates of deposit and~~$270.0 million, partially offset by a ~~$3.3 million increase~~decrease in brokered nonmaturity deposits.

Interest rates during the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal ~~2018 generally moved higher, but~~2024 remained volatile. While the ~~longest~~yield curve remained inverted, with shorter-term obligations yielding more than longer-term obligations, the curve did flatten some. At times over the current nine-month period, market expectations for an easing of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) driving yields in the mid-to-longer part of the curve lower. Market expectations reversed somewhat in the most recent quarter based mostly on inflation and employment data that was reported at higher-than-expected levels. While the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) has raised short-term rates significantly since March 2022, and the market and FOMC expect rates to normalize at some point, with lower longer term rates compared to the short end of the ~~yield~~ curve, ~~was actually down slightly, leading~~a flattening has occurred in this period due to ~~a flatter curve.

As compared to the first ~~six~~nine months of the prior fiscal year, our average yield on earning assets increased by 17102 basis points, ~~helped~~primarily attributable to increased yields on loans receivable, available for sale securities, and cash and cash equivalents, as compared to year-ago levels.

The dollar impact of this component of net interest income has generally been declining each sequential quarter as assets from the Peoples Acquisition mature or prepay; however, the closing of the Capaha Acquisition in mid-June 2017 resulted in additional accretion in the current fiscal year, while resolution of particular acquired impaired credits also resulted in recognition of further discount accretion.

~~The Company's~~Company’s net income is also affected by the level of its noninterest income and noninterest ~~expenses. Non-interest~~expense. Noninterest income generally consists primarily of deposit account service charges, bank card interchange income, loan-related fees, earnings on bank-owned life insurance, gains on sales of loans, and other general operating income.

In the current period, increases in wealth management, bank card interchange income, and earnings on bank owned life insurance (BOLI), were more than offset by realized losses on the sale of AFS securities, as well as lower other income, other loan fees, deposit account charges, and loan servicing fees. Wealth management has benefitted from higher assets under management, and BOLI earnings have improved due mostly to increased investments in policies, both attributable primarily to the Citizens merger partly due to asset appreciation; and interchange income has increased due to higher card volume year to date, driving fee income growth; and BOLI earnings have increased from higher credit rates as insurers pass on some of the increase in the underlying investment yields from the higher rate environment. These increases were more than offset by the realized losses in the investment portfolio; and inclusion in the prior-year period of a one-time gain on the sale of fixed assets of $317,000, resulting in lower other income in the current fiscal year.

The increase was ~~due mostly~~attributable primarily to increases in compensation and benefits, ~~and~~ occupancy expenses, data processing fees, intangible amortization, ~~of core~~and deposit ~~intangibles, and~~

bank card network expenses, all which were attributable in part to the Capaha Acquisition, which increased our staffing, number of locations, account holders, and included the recognition of a core deposit intangible. These increases wereinsurance premiums, partially offset by a decrease in ~~FDIC~~legal and professional fees. The increase in compensation and benefits as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to increased headcount resulting from the Citizens merger, an increase in legacy employee headcount, as well as annual merit increases and inflation adjustments. Occupancy expenses increased primarily due to facilities added through the Citizens merger, and other equipment purchases. The Company’s increase in data processing costs relates to the growing volume of transaction activity, increased costs of software licensing, and new programs for lending and wealth management. Intangible amortization also increased due to the Citizens merger. Increased deposit insurance ~~premiums.~~

premiums were primarily due to the increase in the assessment base following the Citizens merger as well as the FDIC’s increased base assessment rates effective January 2023. Legal and professional fees declined primarily due to inclusion in that category of merger-related expenses in the same period a year ago.

We expect, over time, to continue to grow our assets through the origination and occasional purchase of loans, and purchases of investment securities. The primary funding for this asset growth is expected to come from retail deposits, brokered funding, and short- and long-term FHLB borrowings. We have grown and intend to continue to grow deposits by offering desirable deposit products for our current customers and by attracting new depository relationships. We will also continue to explore strategic expansion opportunities in market areas that we believe will be attractive to our business model.

Loans, net of the allowance for ~~loan~~credit losses (“ACL"), were ~~$1.5~~$3.7 billion at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, an increase of ~~$55.2~~$148.8 million, or ~~4.0%~~4.2%, as compared to June 30, ~~2017. The increase was~~2023. Gross loans increased by $152.3 million, while the ACL attributable ~~primarily~~ to ~~growth in commercial real estate loans, along with smaller increases in residential real estate loans and consumer loans, partially offset by declines in drawn construction~~outstanding loan balances and commercial operating loans. The increase in commercial real estate lending was attributable mostly to loans secured by nonresidential properties. The increase in residential lending was attributable to loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties, partially offset by a decline in loans secured by multifamily properties. The decrease in commercial operating loans was attributable primarily to a seasonal decline in agricultural loan balances, partially offset by an increase in commercial and industrial loan balances.

~~Deposits were $1.5 billion at December 31, 2017, an increase of $53.4~~increased $3.5 million, or ~~3.7%~~7.4%, as compared to June 30, ~~2017. Deposit~~2023.

This was partially offset by ~~declines~~pay-offs and paydowns in owner-occupied commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans.

Loans anticipated to fund in the next 90 days totaled $117.2 million at March 31, 2024, as compared to $140.5 million at December 31, 2023, and $164.4 million at March 31, 2023.

The Bank’s concentration in non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans is estimated at 329.3% of Tier 1 capital and ACL on March 31, 2024, as compared to 330.2% as of June 30, 2023, with these loans representing 42.6% of total loans at March 31, 2024. Multi-family residential real estate, hospitality (hotels/restaurants), care facilities, retail stand-alone, and strip centers are the most common collateral types within the non-owner occupied commercial real estate loan portfolio. The multi-family residential real estate loan portfolio commonly includes loans collateralized by properties currently in the low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) program or having exited the program. The hospitality and retail stand-alone segments include primarily franchised businesses; care facilities consist mainly of skilled nursing and

assisted living centers; and the strip centers can be defined as non-mall shopping centers with a variety of tenants. Non-owner occupied office property types included 36 loans totaling $27.2 million, or 0.72% of total loans at March 31, 2024, none of which were adversely classified as of March 31, 2024, and are generally comprised of smaller spaces with diverse tenants. The Company continues to monitor its commercial real estate concentration and the individual segments closely.

Deposits were $4.0 billion at March 31, 2024, an increase of $270.0 million, or 7.2%, as compared to June 30, 2023. The deposit portfolio saw year-to-date increases in certificates of ~~deposit.

Results of Operations – Comparison of the three-month periods ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2024 and ~~2016~~

2023

General. Net income for the three-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~$5.2~~$11.3 million, an increase of ~~$1.0~~$8.9 million, or ~~23.8%~~369%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable primarily to ~~increases~~the Citizens merger-related charges that reduced earnings in the prior year period. The merger-related charges in the March 31, 2023, quarter included noninterest expense of $3.3 million and PCL on the acquired loan portfolio and off-balance sheet credit exposures totaling $7.0 million. Inclusive of these non-recurring charges, the increase in net income was the result of decreases in PCL and non-interest expense, and an increase in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest income and ~~noninterest income, as well as a reduction~~an increase in provision for ~~loan losses, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and provision for~~ income taxes.

For the three-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, basic and fully-diluted net income per share ~~were both $0.60,~~available to common shareholders was $1.00 and $0.99, respectively, as compared to ~~$0.56 under~~$0.22 for both measures for the same period of the prior fiscal year, which represented ~~an increase~~increases of ~~$0.04,~~$0.78, or ~~7.1%.~~354.5% and $0.77 or 350.0%, respectively. Our annualized return on average assets for the three-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~1.17%~~0.97%, as compared to ~~1.13%~~0.23% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our return on average common ~~stockholders'~~stockholders’ equity for the three-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~11.6%~~9.5%, as compared to ~~12.9%~~2.3% in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Net Interest ~~Income.~~ Income. Net interest income for the three-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~$15.7~~$34.5 million, an increase of ~~$3.1 million,~~$742,000, or ~~24.9%~~2.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to a ~~19.6%~~12.8% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets ~~combined with an increase in net interest margin to 3.87%~~ in the current three-month period ~~from 3.71% in~~compared to the ~~three-month~~same period a year ~~ago. Our~~ago, partially offset by a decrease of 33 basis points in the net interest margin ~~is determined by dividing annualized~~to 3.15%. The primary driver of the net interest ~~income by total average interest-earning assets.~~

margin decline, compared to the year ago period, was the yield on interest earning assets increasing 87 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 139 basis points.

Loan discount accretion and deposit premium amortization related to the ~~Peoples Acquisition increased to $558,000 for~~Company’s June 2017 acquisition of Capaha Bank, the ~~three-month period ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $267,000 for~~February 2018 acquisition of Southern Missouri Bank of Marshfield, the ~~same period~~November 2018 acquisition of First Commercial Bank, the ~~prior fiscal year.~~May 2020 acquisition of Central Federal Savings & Loan ~~discount accretion~~Association, the February 2022 merger of Fortune, and ~~deposit premium amortization related to~~ the ~~Capaha Acquisition~~January 2023 acquisition of Citizens resulted in ~~an additional $302,000~~$1.2 million in net interest income for the three-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017, with no comparable item~~2024, as compared to $1.4 million in net interest income for the same period a year ago. Combined, ~~these components~~this component of net interest income contributed 2111 basis points to net interest margin in the three-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, as compared to a 14 basis point contribution for the same period of ~~eight~~the prior fiscal year, and as compared to a 14 basis ~~points~~point contribution in the linked quarter, ended December 31, 2023, when net interest margin was 3.25%.

Provision for Credit Losses. The PCL for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, was a charge of $900,000, as compared to a PCL of $10.1 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. The ~~dollar impact~~current period PCL was the result of this component of net interest income has generally been declining each sequential quarter as assets from the Peoples Acquisition mature or prepay, however, the Capaha Acquisition will contribute additional net interest income during fiscal 2018, with no comparable items from fiscal 2017 periods. Also, additional net interest income was recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2017, duea $1.4 million provision attributable to the ~~resolution of specific purchased credit impaired loans.~~

For the three-month period ended December 31, 2017, our net interest spread was 3.72%, as compared to 3.61% in the three-month period a year ago. The increase in net interest rate spread, compared to the same period a year ago, resulted from a 30 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets,ACL for loan balances outstanding, partially offset by a 19recovery of $458,000 in provision attributable to the allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures, as construction draws reduced available credit and increased on-balance sheet exposure. The comparable period PCL was elevated primarily due to the Citizens merger. The Company’s assessment of the economic outlook was little changed as compared to the assessment as of March 31, 2023, but reserves were modestly increased due to individually evaluated credits, slightly expanding the ACL as a percentage of total loans. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, the Company recorded net charge offs of one basis point ~~increase in~~(annualized) during the ~~average cost~~current period, unchanged from the same period of ~~interest-bearing liabilities.~~

~~Interest~~the prior fiscal year. (See “Critical Accounting Policies”, “Allowance for Credit Loss Activity” and “Nonperforming Assets”).

Noninterest Income.~~Total interest~~ Noninterest income for the three-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~$19.2~~$5.6 million, a decrease of $700,000, or 11.1%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease was attributable to recognized losses on the sale of AFS securities, which totaled $807,000 in the current quarter, with no AFS gains or losses recognized in the same quarter a year ago, along with lower other noninterest income deposit account charges and related fees, and bank card interchange income. These items were partially offset by increased wealth management fees, other loan fees, and earnings on bank owned life insurance.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, was $25.0 million, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 7.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease as compared to the year-ago period was primarily attributable to charges directly related to merger and acquisition activities, which totaled $3.3 million in the year-ago period from the Citizens acquisition, with no material charges in the current period. Direct charges related to merger and acquisition activity in the year-ago period were primarily legal and professional fees, data processing fees (including contract termination and data conversion fees), compensation expenses, marketing activities, and other miscellaneous merger operating expenses. Partially offsetting these decreases from the prior year period were increases in occupancy and equipment, deposit insurance premiums, advertising, and intangible amortization. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased due to additional facilities and equipment; maintenance and remodels; and associated depreciation expenses, reflecting the additional facilities resulting from the Citizens merger. The increase in deposit insurance premiums was primarily due to the increase in deposits compared to the same period of the prior year. Advertising enhancements in the current quarter increased marketing expenses compared to the March 31, 2023 quarter. Lastly, compared to the same period last year, intangible amortization expense increased as last year’s same period only included two months following the Citizens acquisition.

Income Taxes. The income tax provision for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, was $2.8 million, an increase of ~~$4.1 million, or 27.5%~~390.8%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily attributed to ~~a 19.6%~~higher pre-tax earnings after the acquisition of Citizens.

Results of Operations – Comparison of the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

General. Net income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, was $36.7 million, an increase ~~in the average balance~~ of ~~interest-earning assets, combined with a 30 basis point increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets,~~$13.0 million, or 54.8% as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. ~~Increased~~Compared to the year-ago period, the Company’s increase in net income was attributable to an increase in net interest income and a lower PCL that was partially offset by increased noninterest expense, an increase in provision for income taxes, and slightly lower noninterest income.

For the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, basic and fully-diluted net income per share available to common shareholders was $3.23 and 3.22, respectively, as compared to $2.42 and $2.41, respectively for the same period of the prior fiscal year, which represented increases of $0.81, or 33.6% under both measures. Our annualized return on average ~~interest-earning balances were attributable primarily~~assets for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, was 1.08%, as compared to ~~growth~~0.87% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.

Net interest ~~expense~~income for the ~~three-month~~nine-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~$3.5~~$104.4 million, an increase of ~~$1.0~~$13.9 million, or ~~40.6%~~15.3%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to a 1923.9% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a decrease in the net interest margin to 3.28%, as compared to 3.52% in the same period a year ago. The decrease in net interest margin was attributable to a 152 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, ~~combined with~~which was partially offset by a ~~14.8%~~102 basis point increase in the average ~~balance~~yield on interest-earning assets. The increase in the cost of ~~interest-bearing liabilities,~~funding was due to savings and CD specials that were offered over recent periods in a competitive deposit environment.

Loan discount accretion and deposit premium amortization related to the Company’s May 2020 acquisition of Central Federal Savings & Loan Association, the February 2022 merger of Fortune, and the January 2023 acquisition of Citizens, resulted in $4.4 million in net interest income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $2.4 million in net interest income for the same period a year ago. Combined, this component of net interest income contributed 14 basis points to net interest margin in the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to a nine basis point contribution for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Increased average interest-bearing balances were attributable primarily to increases in interest-bearing transaction accounts, certificates of deposit, money market deposit accounts and savings accounts, partially offset by lower FHLB borrowings and repurchase agreement balances. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was attributed to an increased cost to originate or renew certificates of deposit, increased overnight and short-term FHLB borrowing rates, and increased rates paid on interest-bearing transaction and money market deposit accounts.

Provision for ~~Loan Losses~~. Credit Losses.The ~~provision for loan losses~~PCL for the ~~three-month~~nine-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~$642,000,~~a charge of $2.7 million, as compared to ~~$656,000~~$16.3 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Compared to the year ago period, the Company’s loan growth over the fiscal year to date was reduced along with lower unfunded loan commitments, requiring less PCL, and the prior period included a $7.0 million PCL on the acquired loan portfolio and off-balance sheet credit exposures of Citizens, with no such similar acquisition in the current year period.

Wealth management has benefitted from higher assets under management, and BOLI earnings have improved due mostly to increased investments in policies, both attributable primarily to the Citizens merger; and interchange income ~~and gains on sales of securities, partially~~has had higher volume year to date, driving fee income growth. These increases were more than offset by ~~declines~~the $1.5 million realized losses in the investment portfolio and inclusion in the prior-year period of a one-time gain on the sale of fixed assets of $317,000, resulting in lower other income in the current fiscal year.

Noninterest Expense.Noninterest expense for the ~~three-month~~nine-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~$10.5~~$72.6 million, an increase of ~~$1.8~~$11.1 million, or ~~20.8%~~18.0%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable primarily to increases in compensation and benefits, ~~and~~ occupancy expenses, data processing fees, intangible amortization, and deposit insurance premiums, partially offset by a decrease in legal and professional fees. The increase in compensation and benefits as ~~a result~~compared to the prior year period was primarily due to increased headcount resulting from the Citizens merger, an increase in legacy employee headcount, as well as annual merit increases and inflation adjustments. Occupancy expenses increased primarily due to facilities added through the Citizens merger, and other equipment purchases. The Company’s increase in data processing costs relates to the growing volume of transaction activity, increased costs of software licensing, and new programs for lending and wealth management. Intangible amortization also increased due to the ~~Company's larger staff and number of facilities~~Citizens merger.

Income Taxes.The income tax provision for the ~~three-month~~nine-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, was ~~$2.5~~$9.5 million, an increase of ~~$811,000,~~$3.2 million, or ~~46.7%~~51%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, ~~attributable~~due primarily to higher pre-tax income, combined with an increase in the effective tax rate, to 33.0%, from 29.4%. The higher effective tax rate was attributed primarily to the December enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"), which negatively impacted after-tax earnings by a net $284,000, the result of a required revaluation of the Company's net deferred tax asset ("DTA"), partially offset by a reduction in the Company's annual effective tax rate ("AETR") applied to pre-tax income for the first six months of fiscal 2018. Specifically, the revaluation of the DTA increased provision for income taxes by approximately $1.1 million, while the lower AETR resulted in an $840,000 reduction in the provision for income taxes. After applying the reduction in the AETR to the first half of fiscal 2018, the revaluation of the DTA increased the effective tax rate by approximately 5.9 percentage points, to 30.7% for the fiscal year to date. If the Company maintains a consistent level of tax-advantaged activity and investment relative to its pre-tax income, it would expect an effective tax rate for the second half of fiscal 2018 of 24 to 26 percent, and for the full year fiscal 2018 of 27 to 29 percent, which includes the impact of the DTA revaluation. For fiscal 2019, assuming a consistent level of tax-advantaged activity and investment relative to the Company's pre-tax income, it would expect an effective tax rate of 18 to 20 percent.

~~Results of Operations – Comparison of the six-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016~~

~~General. Net income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $10.0 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 27.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.~~income. The increase was attributable to increases in net interest income and noninterest income, as well as a reduction in provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and provision for income taxes.

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, basic and fully-diluted net income per share were $1.17 and $1.16, respectively, as compared to $1.06 under both measures for the same period of the prior fiscal year, which represented increases of $0.11, or 10.3%, and $0.10, or 9.4%, respectively. Our annualized return on average assets for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was 1.15%, as compared to 1.08% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Our return on average common stockholders' equity for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was 11.3%, as compared to 12.3% in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

~~Net Interest Income.~~ Net interest income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $30.8 million, an increase of $5.7 million, or 22.5%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to a 20.1% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, combined with an increase in net interest margin to 3.83% in the current six-month period, from 3.76% in the six-month period a year ago. Our net interest margin is determined by dividing annualized net interest income by total average interest-earning assets.

Loan discount accretion and deposit premium amortization related to the Peoples Acquisition decreased to $793,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $868,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Loan discount accretion and deposit premium amortization related to the Capaha Acquisition resulted in an additional $532,000 in net interest income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, with no comparable item in the same period a year ago. Combined, these components of net interest income contributed 16 basis points to net interest margin in the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, as compared to a contribution of 13 basis points for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The dollar impact of this component of net interest income has generally been declining each sequential quarter as assets from the Peoples Acquisition mature or prepay, however, the Capaha Acquisition will contribute additional net interest income during fiscal 2018, with no comparable items from fiscal 2017 periods. Also, additional net interest income was recognized during the quarters ended December 31, 2017, and September 30, 2016, due to the resolution of specific purchased credit impaired loans.

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, our net interest spread was 3.69%, as compared to 3.66% in the six-month period a year ago. The increase in net interest rate spread, compared to the same period a year ago, resulted from a 17 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by a 14 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

~~Interest Income.~~ Total interest income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $37.6 million, an increase of $7.5 million, or 24.7%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase wasprimarily attributed to a 20.1% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, combined with a 17 basis point increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Increased average interest-earning balances were attributable primarily to growth in the loan portfolio, while investment balances increased at a slower rate. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets was attributable primarily to originations and renewals of loans at higher market rates, the increase in loan discount accretion, discussed above, as well as a slight shift in the earning asset mix towards the loan portfolio.

~~Interest Expense~~. Total interest expense for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $6.8 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 35.7%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable to a 14 basis point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, combined with a 15.7% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Increased average interest-bearing balances were attributable primarily to increases in certificates of deposit, interest-bearing transaction accounts, money market deposit accounts and savings accounts, partially offset by lower FHLB borrowings and repurchase agreement balances. The increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was attributed to an increased cost to originate or renew certificates of deposit, increased overnight and short-term FHLB borrowing rates, and increased rates paid on interest-bearing transaction and money market deposit accounts.

~~Provision for Loan Losses~~. The provision for loan losses for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $1.5 million, as compared to $1.6 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. As a percentage of average loans outstanding, the provision for loan losses in the current six-month period represented a charge of 0.21% (annualized), while the Company recorded net charge offs during the period of 0.03% (annualized). During the same period of the prior fiscal year, provision for loan losses as a percentage of average loans outstanding represented a charge of 0.26% (annualized), while the Company recorded net charge offs of 0.06% (annualized). ~~(See "Critical Accounting Policies", "Allowance for Loan Loss Activity" and "Nonperforming Assets").~~

~~Noninterest Income~~. The Company's noninterest income, including securities gains, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $6.4 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 22.2%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable primarily to deposit account service charges, bank card interchange income, loan servicing income, loan fees, earnings on bank owned life insurance, and gains on sales of securities, partially offset by declines in gains on sales of residential real estate loans originated for that purpose. Increases in deposit account service charges, bank card interchange income, and loan servicing income were attributable primarily to the additional account holders and loans serviced following the June 2017 Capaha Acquisition.

~~Noninterest Expense.~~ Noninterest expense for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $21.3 million, an increase of $3.4 million, or 19.1%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase was attributable primarily to increases in compensation and benefits and occupancy expenses, as a result of the Company's larger staff and number of facilities following the June 2017 Capaha Acquisition. Expenses related to merger and acquisition activity in the current six-month period totaled $305,000, compared to $100,000 in similar charges in the same period a year ago. The efficiency ratio for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was 57.2%, as compared to 58.7% in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

~~Income Taxes.~~ The income tax provision for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, was $4.4 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 43.4%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, attributable primarily to higher pre-tax ~~income, combined with an increase in~~earnings after the ~~effective tax rate, to 30.7%, from 28.2%. The higher effective tax rate was attributed primarily to the December enactment~~acquisition of ~~the Tax Act, which negatively impacted after-tax earnings by a net $284,000, the result~~Citizens.

Table of a required revaluation of the Company's net DTA, partially offset by a reduction in the Company's AETR applied to pre-tax income for the first six months of fiscal 2018. Specifically, the revaluation of the DTA increased provision for income taxes by approximately $1.1 million, while the lower AETR resulted in an $840,000 reduction in the provision for income taxes. After applying the reduction in the AETR to the first half of fiscal 2018, the revaluation of the DTA increased the effective tax rate by approximately 5.9 percentage points. If the Company maintains a consistent level of tax-advantaged activity and investment relative to its pre-tax income, it would expect an effective tax rate for the second half of fiscal 2018 of 24 to 26 percent, and for the full year fiscal 2018 of 27 to 29 percent, which includes the impact of the DTA revaluation. For fiscal 2019, assuming a consistent level of tax-advantaged activity and investment relative to the Company's pre-tax income, it would expect an effective tax rate of 18 to 20 percent.Contents

Allowance for ~~Loan~~Credit Loss Activity

The Company regularly reviews its ~~allowance for loan losses~~ACL and makes adjustments to its balance based on ~~management's analysis~~management’s estimate of (1) the total expected losses included in the Company’s financial assets held at amortized cost, which is limited to the Company’s loan portfolio, and (2) any credit deterioration in the Company’s available-for-sale securities as of the ~~loan portfolio, the amount of non-performing and~~balance sheet date. The Company holds no securities classified ~~loans,~~ as ~~well as general economic conditions.~~ held-to-maturity.

Although the Company maintains its ~~allowance for loan losses~~ACL at a level that it considers sufficient to provide for losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed internal estimates. In addition, the amount of the ~~allowance for loan losses~~ACL is subject to review by regulatory agencies, which can order the ~~establishment~~Company to record additional allowances. The required ACL has been estimated based upon the guidelines in ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.

The estimate involves consideration of ~~additional~~quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to loans as segmented by the Company, and is based on an evaluation, at the reporting date, of historical loss ~~provision.~~ experience, coupled with qualitative adjustments to address current economic conditions and credit quality, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Specific qualitative factors considered include, but may not be limited to:

•Changes in lending policies and/or loan review system

•National, regional, and local economic trends and/or conditions

•Changes and/or trends in the nature, volume, or terms of the loan portfolio

•Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff

•Levels and/or trends of delinquent, non-accrual, problem assets, or charge offs and recoveries

•Concentrations of credit

•Changes in collateral values

•Agricultural economic conditions

•Risks from regulatory, legal, or competitive factors

The following table summarizes changes in the ~~allowance for loan losses~~ACL over the three- and ~~six-month~~nine- month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

The Company’s assessment of the economic outlook was little changed as compared to the assessment as of June 30, 2023, but reserves were modestly increased due to qualitative factors and individually evaluated credits, slightly expanding the ACL as a percentage of total loans.

At March 31, 2024, the Bank also had accrued within other liabilities an allowance for ~~loan losses has been calculated based upon an evaluation~~off-balance sheet credit exposures of ~~pertinent factors underlying~~$4.1 million, as compared to $6.3 million at June 30, 2023. The decrease reflects the ~~various types and quality~~component of the ~~Company's loans. Management considers~~PCL attributable to off-balance sheet credit exposures noted above. This amount is maintained as a separate liability account to cover estimated credit losses associated with off-balance sheet credit instruments such ~~factors~~as off-balance sheet loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and guarantees. The $2.1 million decrease in the estimated allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposures was primarily the result of a decrease in the amount of unfunded commitments (unused lines of credit) available and expected to be utilized.

The PCL was based on the estimated required ACL, reflecting management’s estimate of the current expected credit losses in the Company’s loan portfolio at March 31, 2024, and management believes the ACL as of that date was adequate based on that estimate. There remains, however, significant uncertainty as the ~~repayment status~~Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy to address inflation risks. Management continues to closely monitor borrowers in the hotel industry that were slow to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The following table sets forth the sum of athe amounts of the ACL attributable to individual loans within each category, or the loan categories in general, and the percentage of the ACL that is attributable to each category, as of the reporting date. The table also reflects the percentage of loans in each category to the total loan portfolio, as of the reporting date.

For loans that do not exhibit similar risk characteristics, the Company evaluates the loan on an individual basis. Loans that are classified with an adverse internal credit rating or identified as modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty are most commonly considered for individual evaluation. The ACL for individually evaluated loans may be estimated ~~net~~based on the fair value of the underlying collateral, or based on the borrower's intent and ability to repay the loan, local economic conditions, and the Company's historical loss ratios. We maintain the allowance for loan losses through the provision for loan losses that we charge to income. We charge losses on loans against the allowance for loan losses when we believe the collectionpresent value of ~~loan principal is unlikely. The allowance for loan losses increased $1.4 million to $16.9 million at December~~expected cash flows.

At March 31, 2017, from $15.5 million at June 30, 2017. The increase was deemed appropriate in order to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that reflects management's estimate of the incurred loss in the Company's loan portfolio at December 31, 2017.

~~At December 31, 2017,~~2024, the Company had loans of ~~$11.1~~$43.3 million, or ~~0.75%~~1.15% of total loans, adversely classified ($~~10.5~~43.3 million classified ~~"substandard"~~“substandard”; ~~$602,000~~none classified ~~"doubtful"~~“doubtful”), as compared to loans of ~~$13.3~~$46.3 million, or ~~0.94%~~1.28% of total loans, adversely classified ($~~12.7~~46.3 million classified ~~"substandard"~~“substandard”; ~~$602,000~~none classified ~~"doubtful"~~“doubtful”) at June 30, ~~2017,~~2023, and ~~$10.6~~$46.9 million, or ~~0.86%~~1.35% of total loans, adversely classified ($~~10.6~~46.9 million classified ~~"substandard"~~“substandard”; none classified ~~"doubtful"~~“doubtful”), at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2016.~~2023. Classified loans were generally comprised of loans secured by commercial and residential real estate, ~~loans, while a smaller amount of~~and other commercial ~~operating loans and consumer loans were also classified.~~purpose collateral. All loans were classified due to concerns as to the ~~borrowers'~~borrowers’ ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flows to service the debt. Of our classified loans, the Company had ceased recognition of interest on loans with a carrying value of ~~$1.3~~$7.3 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017.~~

~~As noted in Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company's~~2024. The Company’s total past due loans ~~increased~~decreased from ~~$4.8~~$10.7 million at June 30, ~~2017,~~2023, to ~~$13.3~~$8.6 million at ~~December~~March 31, 2017. Of this increase, approximately $4.7 million was attributable to a $4.7 million commercial relationship which has been classified for more than five years, and with whom the Company was in negotiations for renewal and modification during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Included in the relationship is a $3.5 million loan secured by commercial real estate and equipment which carries a 90% guaranty from the USDA. The remaining balance is structured as lines of credit which are secured by additional commercial real estate, receivables, and a personal residence. The lines of credit matured as of September 30, 2017, though the borrower continued to make interest payments following that date. Following quarter end, the Company agreed to short term extensions and modifications of the loans in this relationship, restoring them to current status, though all remain classified. In addition to this relationship, the increase in2024. Total past due loans ~~is attributable to a $1.4~~were $7.4 million ~~relationship with a borrower operating residential rental properties who recently filed bankruptcy, as well as several other smaller loans, including some commercial~~at March 31, 2023. See Note 4 – “Loans and ~~construction real estate loans which were awaiting renewal at quarter end and have since been renewed.~~

~~In its quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of its allowance~~Allowance for loan losses, the Company employs historical data including past due percentages, charge offs, and recoveries for the previous five years for each loan category. The Company's allowance methodology considers the most recent twelve-month period's average net charge offs and uses this information as one of the primary factors for evaluation of allowance adequacy. Average net charge offs are calculated as net charge offs by portfolio type for the period as a percentage of the average balance of respective portfolio type over the same period.

~~The following table sets forth the Company's historical net charge offs as of December 31 and June 30, 2017:~~

Table of individual borrowers; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions; the Company's historical loss experience; and changes in market conditions for property pledged to the Company as collateral. The Company has identified specific qualitative factors that address these issues and subjectively assigns a percentage to each factor. Qualitative factors are reviewed quarterly and may be adjusted as necessary to reflect improving or declining trends. At December 31, 2017, these qualitative factors included:Contents

~~· Changes in lending policies~~

~~· National, regional, and local economic conditions~~

~~· Changes in mix and volume of portfolio~~

~~· Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff~~

~~· Entry to new markets~~

~~· Levels and trends of delinquent, nonaccrual, special mention and~~

~~· Classified loans~~

~~· Concentrations of credit~~

~~· Changes in collateral values~~

~~· Agricultural economic conditions~~

~~· Regulatory risk~~

~~The qualitative factors are applied to the allowance for loan losses based upon the following percentages by loan type:~~

Portfolio segment

   Commercial 1.31% 1.33%
Consumer loans 1.32% 1.36%
Commercial loans 1.36% 1.37%

At December 31, 2017, the amount of our allowance for loan losses attributable to these qualitative factors was approximately $14.6 million, as compared to $13.8 million at June 30, 2017, primarily due to loan growth. The relatively small change in qualitative factors applied was attributable to management's assessment that risks represented by the qualitative factors were little changed, on balance. Higher levels of net charge offs requiring additional provision for loan losses could result. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.

Nonperforming Assets

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets and nonperforming loans to net loans receivable is another measure of asset quality. Nonperforming assets of the Company include nonaccruing loans, accruing loans delinquent/past maturity 90 days or more, and assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The table below summarizes changes in the ~~Company's~~Company’s level of nonperforming assets over selected time periods:

The Company adopted ASU No. 2022-02 in fiscal 2024, which eliminates the accounting guidance for TDRs, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017, troubled debt restructurings (TDRs)~~2024, modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled ~~$13.6~~$25.7 million, of which ~~$5.2 million~~$899,000 was considered nonperforming ~~with $270,000~~and included in the nonaccrual loan total ~~above and $4.9 million included in the loans 90 days past due accruing interest total~~ above. The remaining ~~$8.4~~$24.8 million in ~~TDRs~~modified loans have complied with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time and are therefore considered by the Company to be accrual status loans. InOn the basis of guidance under ASU No. 2022-02, in general, these loans were subject to classification as ~~TDRs~~modifications due to term extensions, with only $235,000 being due to payment delay, given to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty at ~~December~~March 31, 2017, on the basis of guidance under ASU No. 2011-02, which indicates that the Company may not consider the borrower's effective borrowing rate on the old debt immediately before the restructuring in determining whether a concession has been granted.2024. At June 30, ~~2017,~~

~~TDRs~~2023, these modifications totaled ~~$11.2~~$30.5 million, of which ~~$338,000~~$727,000 was considered nonperforming and is included in the nonaccrual loan total above. The remaining ~~$10.9~~$29.8 million in ~~TDRs~~modifications at June 30, ~~2017,~~2023, had complied with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time and were therefore considered by the Company to be accrual status loans.

At ~~December~~both March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, and June 30, 2023, the nonperforming assets totaled ~~$11.0~~$11.3 million, and at March 31, 2023, they totaled $12.7 million.

Liquidity Resources

The term ~~"liquidity"~~“liquidity” refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, loans purchases, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses. Our primary sources of funds include deposit growth, ~~securities sold under agreements to repurchase,~~ FHLB advances, brokered deposits, amortization and prepayment of loan principal and interest, investment maturities and sales, and funds provided by our operations. While the scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows, FHLB advance redemptions, and loan and security prepayment rates are significantly influenced by factors outside of the ~~Bank's~~Bank’s control, including interest rates, general and local economic conditions and competition in the marketplace. The Bank relies on FHLB advances and brokered deposits as additional sources for funding cash or liquidity needs.

The Company uses its liquid resources principally to satisfy its ongoing cash requirements, which include funding loan commitments, funding maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, maintaining liquidity, funding maturing or called FHLB advances, purchasing investments, and meeting operating expenses.

At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, the Company had outstanding commitments and approvals to extend credit of approximately ~~$272.4~~$853.6 million (including ~~$170.0~~$637.9 million in unused lines of credit) in mortgage and non-mortgage loans. These commitments and approvals are expected to be funded through existing cash balances, cash flow from normal operations and, if needed, advances from the FHLB or the Federal ~~Reserve's~~Reserve’s discount window. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, the Bank had pledged $1.3 billion of its single-family residential ~~real estate loan portfolios~~ and ~~a significant portion of their~~ commercial real estate loan portfolios ~~with~~to the FHLB for available credit of approximately ~~$325.1~~$789.7 million, of which ~~$59.9~~$102.2 million ~~had been advanced.~~was advanced, while an additional $467,000 was encumbered in relation to residential real estate loans sold onto the secondary market through the FHLB. The Bank has the ability to pledge several other loan portfolios, including, for example, its commercial and home equity loans, which could provide additional collateral for additional ~~borrowings; in~~borrowings. In total, FHLB borrowings are generally limited to ~~35%~~45% of bank assets, or ~~$614.4 million,~~approximately $2.1 billion, subject to available collateral. Also, at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, the Bank had pledged a total of ~~$207.9~~$348.4 million in loans secured by farmland and agricultural production loans to the Federal Reserve, providing access to ~~$139.3~~$290.1 million in primary credit borrowings from the Federal ~~Reserve's~~Reserve’s discount ~~window.~~window, none of which was advanced at March 31, 2024. Management believes its liquid resources will be sufficient to meet the ~~Company's~~Company’s liquidity needs.

Regulatory Capital

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain ~~mandatory—~~mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the ~~Company's~~Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company and the ~~Bank's~~Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under U.S. GAAP, regulatory reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards. The ~~Company~~Company’s and ~~Bank's~~Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Furthermore, the ~~Company~~Company’s and ~~Bank's~~Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Quantitative measures established by regulatory capital standards to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital, Tier 1 capital (as defined), and common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average total assets (as defined). Additionally, to make distributions or discretionary bonus payments, the Company and Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. Management believes, as of ~~December~~March 31, 2024 and June 30, ~~2017,~~2023, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

In ~~July 2013,~~August 2020, the Federal banking agencies ~~announced their approval~~adopted a final rule updating a December 2018 rule regarding the impact on regulatory capital of adoption of the ~~final~~CECL standard. The rule ~~to implement~~allows institutions that adopted the Basel III regulatory reforms, among other changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The approved rule included a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital of 4.5%, raised the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0%, and included a minimum leverage ratio ofCECL standard in

As of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, the most recent notification from the Federal banking agencies categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

PART I: Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

The goal of the ~~Company's~~Company’s asset/liability management strategy is to manage the interest rate sensitivity of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in order to maximize net interest income without exposing the Bank to an excessive level of interest rate risk. The Company employs various strategies intended to manage the potential effect that changing interest rates may have on future operating results. The primary asset/liability management strategy has been to focus on matching the anticipated re-pricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At times, however, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Company may determine to increase its interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain its net interest margin.

In an effort to manage the interest rate risk resulting from fixed rate lending, the Bank has utilized longer term FHLB advances (with maturities up to ten years), subject to early redemptions and fixed terms. Other elements of the ~~Company's~~Company’s current asset/liability strategy include (i) increasing originations of commercial business, commercial real estate, agricultural operating lines, and agricultural real estate loans, which typically provide higher yields and shorter repricing periods, but inherently increase credit risk; (ii) actively soliciting less rate-sensitive deposits, including aggressive use of the ~~Company's "rewards checking"~~Company’s “rewards checking” product, and (iii) offering competitively-priced money market accounts and CDs with maturities of up to five years. The degree to which each segment of the strategy is achieved will affect profitability and exposure to interest rate risk.

The Company continues to originate long-term, fixed-rate residential loans. During the first ~~six~~nine months of fiscal year ~~2018,~~2024, fixed rate 1- to 4-family residential loan production totaled ~~$29.5~~$90.7 million (of which $16.3 million was originated for sale into the secondary market), as compared to ~~$32.6~~$97.2 million (of which $12.7 million was originated for sale into the secondary market). At March 31, 2024, the fixed rate residential loan portfolio was $609.2 million with a weighted average maturity of 180 months, as compared to $592.5 million at March 31, 2023, with a weighted average maturity of 194 months. The Company originated $37.0 million in adjustable-rate 1- to 4-family residential loans during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $32.1 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year. At ~~December~~March 31, 2017, the fixed rate residential loan portfolio was $148.7 million with a weighted average maturity of 104 months, as compared to $141.2 million at December 31, 2016, with a weighted average maturity of 111 months. The Company originated $17.4 million in adjustable-rate 1- to 4-family residential loans during the six-month period ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $14.0 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year. At December 31, 2017,2024, fixed rate loans with remaining maturities in excess of 10 years totaled ~~$36.6~~$368.5 million, or ~~2.5%~~9.9% of net loans receivable, as compared to ~~$36.7~~$383.8 million, or ~~3.0%~~11.2% of net loans receivable at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2016.~~2023. The Company originated ~~$115.2~~$124.3 million in fixed rate commercial and commercial real estate loans during the ~~six-month~~nine-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, as compared to ~~$132.0~~$477.9 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company also originated ~~$39.1~~$53.6 million in adjustable rate commercial and commercial real estate loans during the ~~six-month~~nine-month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, as compared to ~~$53.4~~$119.4 million during the same period of the prior fiscal year. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, adjustable-rate home equity lines of credit increased to ~~$36.3~~$71.6 million, as compared to ~~$26.1~~$65.9 million at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2016.~~2023. At ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, the ~~Company's~~Company’s investment portfolio had an expected weighted-average life of ~~3.9~~4.9 years, compared to ~~3.7~~5.2 years at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2016.~~2023. Effective duration of the portfolio indicates a stable price sensitivity of approximately 2.6% per 100 basis points movement in market rates at both March 31, 2024, and the year ago period. Management continues to focus on customer retention, customer satisfaction, and offering new products to customers in order to increase the ~~Company's~~Company’s amount of less rate-sensitive deposit accounts.

Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on an internally generated model using actual maturity and repricing schedules for the ~~Bank's~~Bank’s loans and deposits, and are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan repayments and deposit run-offs, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. As a result of an independent model review, some key drivers were updated in our NPV calculation to align more closely with industry standards and best practices. The results reflected in the NPV table above for March 31, 2024, are based on some assumptions which differ as compared to those utilized in our model at June 30, 2023, and comparison of the results may not reflect actual changes in underlying interest rate sensitivity. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

Management cannot accurately predict future interest rates or their effect on the ~~Bank's~~Bank’s net present value NPV in the future. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the computation of NPV. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have an initial fixed rate period typically from one to seven years and over the remaining life of the asset changes in the interest rate are restricted. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the ~~Bank's~~Bank’s portfolios could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity if market interest rates remain steady in the future. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

The Company’s growth strategy has included origination of fixed-rate loans, as discussed under “Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk,” above. This fixed rate loan portfolio and the behavior of fixed-rate borrowers in a higher interest rate environment, especially over the course of fiscal 2023, pressured our NPV. The Company’s sensitivity, which generally increased over recent periods, was partially offset by the Citizens merger in the third quarter of fiscal

2023, as the acquired balance sheet included a higher percentage of rate sensitive assets, and also by continued new loan originations at higher market interest rates. Since June 30, 2023, market interest rates have increased, as noted in the “Executive Summary,” negatively impacting our underlying NPV, attributable to the impact of higher rates on our longer-term fixed rate loans as of March 31, 2024. Due to updated model assumptions in fiscal 2024, discussed above, the above table comparing modeled results as of June 30, 2023, and March 31, 2024, does not fully illustrate these changes. The ~~Bank's Board~~Company continues to manage its balance sheet to maximize earnings through interest rate cycles, while maintaining safe and sound risk management practices.

The Bank’s board of ~~Directors (the "Board")~~directors is responsible for reviewing the ~~Bank's~~Bank’s asset and liability policies. The ~~Board's~~Bank’s Asset/Liability ~~Committees~~Committee meets monthly to review interest rate risk and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The ~~Bank's~~Bank’s management is responsible for administering the policies and determinations of the ~~Boards~~board of directors with respect to the ~~Bank's~~Bank’s asset and liability goals and strategies.

PART I:Item 4: Controls and Procedures

SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.

An evaluation of Southern ~~Missouri Bancorp's~~Missouri’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the ~~"Act"~~“Act”)) as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024 was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, ~~and~~our Chief Administrative Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and several other members of our senior management. ~~The~~Our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Administrative Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, the ~~Company's~~Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to management (including ~~the~~our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Administrative Officer and our Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the ~~SEC's~~SEC’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company does not expect that its disclosures and procedures will prevent all errors 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 a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure 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; 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.
