2. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Shares acquired by the ESOP are not included in basic average shares outstanding until the shares are committed for allocation or vested to an employee's individual account. Unvested shares awarded pursuant to the Company's restricted stock benefit plans are treated as participating securities in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method as they contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security.

The unrealized losses at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 were a result of an increase in market yields from the time the securities were purchased. In general, as market yields rise, the fair value of securities will decrease; as market yields fall, the fair value of securities will increase. Management did not record an ACL on securities in an unrealized loss position at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 because scheduled coupon payments have been made, management anticipates that the entire principal balance will be collected as scheduled, and neither does the Company intend to sell the securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of the remaining amortized cost amount, which could be at maturity.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of AFS debt securities as of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual principal repayments may differ from contractual maturities due to prepayment or early call privileges by the issuer. In the case of MBS, borrowers on the underlying loans generally have the right to prepay their loans without penalty. For this reason, MBS are not included in the maturity categories.

Lending Practices and Underwriting Standards - Originating and purchasing one- to four-family loans is the Bank's primary lending business. The Bank also originates consumer loans primarily secured by one- to four-family residential properties and originates and participates in commercial loans. The Bank has a loan concentration in one- to four-family loans and a geographic ~~concentration~~concentrations of these loans in Kansas, Missouri, and ~~Missouri.~~Texas.

One- to four-family loans - Full documentation to support an applicant's credit and income, and sufficient funds to cover all applicable fees and reserves at closing, are required on all loans. ~~Generally, loans are underwritten according to the "ability to repay" and "qualified mortgage" standards, as issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB").~~ Properties securing one- to four-family loans are appraised by either staff appraisers or fee appraisers, both of which are independent of the loan origination function.

The underwriting standards for loans purchased from correspondent lenders are generally similar to the Bank's internal underwriting standards. The underwriting of loans purchased from correspondent lenders on a loan-by-loan basis is performed by the Bank's underwriters.

The Bank also originates owner-occupied construction-to-permanent loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. Construction draw requests and the supporting documentation are reviewed and approved by designated personnel. The Bank also performs regular documented inspections of the construction project to ensure the funds are being used for the intended purpose and the project is being completed according to the plans and specifications provided.

Commercial loans - The Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction loans are originated by the Bank or in participation with a lead bank. When underwriting a commercial real estate or commercial construction loan, several factors are considered, such as the income producing potential of the property, cash equity provided by the borrower, the financial strength of the borrower, managerial expertise of the borrower or tenant, feasibility studies, lending experience with the borrower and the marketability of the property. For commercial real estate and commercial construction participation loans, the Bank performs the same underwriting procedures as if the loan

was being originated by the Bank. At the time of origination, loan-to-value ("LTV")

ratios on commercial real estate loans generally do not exceed 85% of the appraised value of the property securing the loans and the minimum debt service coverage ratio is generally 1.15. For commercial construction loans, LTV ratios generally do not exceed 80% of the projected appraised value of the property securing the loans and the minimum debt service coverage ratio is generally 1.15, but it applies to the projected cash flows, and the borrower must have successful experience with the construction and operation of properties similar to the subject property. Appraisals on properties securing these loans are performed by independent state certified fee appraisers.

The Bank's commercial and industrial loans are generally made in the Bank's market areas and are underwritten on the basis of the borrower's ability to service the debt from income. Working capital loans are primarily collateralized by short-term assets whereas term loans are primarily collateralized by long-term assets. In general, commercial and industrial loans involve more credit risk than commercial real estate loans due to the type of collateral securing commercial and industrial loans. As a result of these additional complexities, variables and risks, commercial and industrial loans require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans.

Consumer loans - The Bank offers a variety of consumer loans, the majority of which are home equity loans and lines of credit for which the Bank also has the first mortgage or the home equity line of credit is in the first lien position.

The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of an applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of an applicant's ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of an applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.

Credit Quality Indicators - Based on the Bank's lending emphasis and underwriting standards, management has segmented the loan portfolio into three segments: (1) one- to four-family; (2) consumer; and (3) commercial. These segments are further divided into classes for purposes of providing disaggregated credit quality information about the loan portfolio. The classes are: one- to four-family - originated, one- to four-family - correspondent purchased, one- to four-family - bulk purchased, consumer - home equity, consumer - other, commercial - commercial real estate, and commercial - commercial and industrial. One- to four-family construction loans are included in the originated class and commercial construction loans are included in the commercial real estate class. As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Company's loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to loan classification and delinquency status.

Loan Classification - In accordance with the Bank's asset classification policy, management regularly reviews the problem loans in the Bank's portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification. Loan classifications are defined as follows:

•Special mention - These loans are performing loans on which known information about the collateral pledged or the possible credit problems of the borrower(s) have caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower(s) to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the nonaccrual loan categories.

•Substandard - A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

•Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts and conditions and values highly questionable and improbable.

•Loss - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets on the books is not warranted.

The following ~~table sets~~tables set forth, as of the dates indicated, the amortized cost of loans by class of financing receivable, year of origination or most recent credit decision, and loan classification. All revolving lines of credit are presented separately, regardless of origination year. Loans classified as doubtful or loss are individually evaluated for loss. At ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, there were no loans classified as doubtful, and all loans classified as loss were fully charged-off.

The key assumptions in the Company's ACL model include the economic forecast, the forecast and reversion to mean time periods, and prepayment and curtailment assumptions. Management also considered certain qualitative factors when evaluating the adequacy of the ACL at ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The key assumptions utilized in estimating the Company's ACL at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 are discussed below.

•Economic Forecast - Management considered several economic forecasts provided by a third party and selected ~~a weighted~~an economic forecast that was the most appropriate considering the facts and circumstances at ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The forecasted economic indices applied to the model at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 were the national unemployment rate, changes in commercial real estate price index, changes in home values, and changes in the U.S. gross domestic product. The economic index most impactful to all loan pools within the model at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 was the national unemployment rate. The ~~forecast~~forecasted national unemployment rate in the economic scenario selected by management at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 had the national unemployment rate gradually increasing to ~~4.3%~~3.8% by ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 which was the end of our four quarter forecast time period.

•Forecast and reversion to mean time ~~period~~periods - The forecasted time period and the reversion to mean time period were each four quarters for all of the economic indices at ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

•Prepayment and curtailment assumptions - The assumptions used at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 were generally based on actual historical prepayment and curtailment speeds for each respective loan pool in the model. During the current year, there was a slowdown in portfolio prepayment speeds which reduced the projected prepayment speeds used in the model for generally all loan categories.

•Qualitative factors - The qualitative factors applied by management at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 included the following:

◦The economic uncertainties related to the unemployment rate, the labor force composition, and the labor participation ~~rate;~~

◦~~The balance and trending of large-dollar special mention commercial loans;~~rate that are not captured in the economic forecasts; and

◦~~Coronavirus Disease 2019 ("COVID-19") loan modifications~~Other management considerations related to commercial real estate loans that were not captured via the model assumptions, such as the balance and trending of large dollar commercial real estate loans.

The decrease in ACL during the current year-to-date period was primarily a result of a negative provision for credit losses of $3.8 million which was due to a reduction in commercial loan qualitative factors, partially offset by an increase in ACL related to loan growth.

Reserve for Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures - The following is a summary of the changes in reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures during the periods indicated. ~~The negative provision for~~At March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Bank's off-balance sheet credit ~~losses in the current year period was due primarily to a reduction in the commercial loan qualitative factors.~~exposures totaled $1.02 billion and $992.6 million, respectively.

5. BORROWED FUNDS

FHLB Borrowings and Interest Rate Swaps - At ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Bank had entered into interest rate swap agreements with ~~a total~~an aggregate notional amount of $365.0 million in order to hedge the variable cash flows associated with $365.0 million of adjustable-rate FHLB advances. At ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the interest rate swap agreements had an average remaining term to maturity of ~~3.3~~2.6 years and ~~4.1~~3.1 years, respectively. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and involved the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Bank making fixed-rate payments over the life of the interest rate swap agreements. At ~~June~~both March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the interest rate swaps were in a gain position with a total fair value of ~~$1.3~~$8.8 million and $12.5 million respectively, which was reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. ~~At September 30, 2021, the interest rate swaps were in a loss position with a total fair value of $27.7 million, which was reported in~~ ~~other liabilities~~ ~~on the consolidated balance sheet.~~ During the three and ~~nine months~~six month periods ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, $1.3 million and ~~$4.8~~$2.1 million, respectively, was reclassified from AOCI as a decrease to interest expense. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2022, $1.7 million and $3.5 million was reclassified from AOCI as an increase to interest expense. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, $2.1 million and $11.5 million, respectively, was reclassified from AOCI. Of this amount, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, $7.9 million was recognized as an increase to interest expense and $3.6 million, net of tax, was reclassified as a result of the termination of the related interest rate swaps, as discussed below, and reported in the loss on interest rate swap termination line item within the consolidated statements of operations. At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company estimated that ~~$1.4~~$7.2 million of interest expense associated with the interest rate swaps would be reclassified from AOCI as a decrease to interest expense on FHLB borrowings during the next 12 months. The Bank has minimum collateral posting thresholds with its derivative counterparties and posts collateral on a daily basis. The Bank held cash collateral of ~~$2.6~~$9.6 million and $12.1 million at ~~June~~March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, ~~and posted cash collateral of $28.0 million at September 30, 2021.~~respectively.

During the current ~~year-to-date~~six month period, the Bank utilized a leverage strategy (the "leverage strategy") to increase earnings. The leverage strategy involved borrowing up to ~~$2.10~~$2.60 billion either on the Bank's line of credit with FHLB or by entering into short-term FHLB advances, depending on the rates offered by FHLB, with all of the balance being paid down at ~~each~~ quarter end, or earlier if the strategy iswas not profitable. The proceeds of the borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings, were deposited at the FRB of Kansas City.

During the prior year-to-date period, the Bank terminated interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $200.0 million which were tied to FHLB advances totaling $200.0 million. The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and involved the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Bank making fixed-rate payments over the life of the interest rate swap agreements. Since it was management's intention to prepay the related FHLB advances, it was no longer probable that the original forecasted transactions subject to the cash flow hedges would occur. Therefore, the termination of the interest rate swaps resulted in the reclassification of unrealized losses, net of tax, totaling $3.6 million ($4.8 million pretax) from AOCI into earnings.

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Measurements - The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures in accordance with ASC 820 and ASC 825. The Company's AFS securities and interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other financial instruments on a non-recurring basis, such as OREO and loans individually evaluated for impairment. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual financial instruments.

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

•Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

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

•Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company's own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the financial instrument. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the financial instrument.

The Company bases the fair value of its financial instruments on the price that would be received from the sale of an instrument in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

AFS Securities - The Company's AFS securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value. The majority of the securities within the AFS portfolio were issued by GSEs. The Company primarily uses prices obtained from third party pricing services to determine the fair value of its securities. On a quarterly basis, management corroborates a sample of prices obtained from the third party pricing service for Level 2 securities by comparing them to an independent source. If the price provided by the independent source varies by more than a predetermined percentage from the price received from the third party pricing service, then the variance is researched by management. The Company did not have to adjust prices obtained from the third party pricing service when determining the fair value of its securities during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 or during fiscal year ~~2021.~~2022. The Company's major security types, based on the nature and risks of the securities, are:

•GSE Debentures - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration and are discounted using current market yields for similar securities. (Level 2)

•MBS - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined based on prepayment projections of the underlying mortgages and are discounted using current market yields for benchmark securities. (Level 2)

•Corporate Bonds ~~- Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration~~ and ~~are discounted using current market yields for securities with similar credit profiles. (Level 2)~~

•Municipal Bonds - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration and are discounted using current market yields for securities with similar credit profiles. (Level 2)

Interest Rate Swaps - The Company's interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are reported at fair value in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet if in a gain position, and in other liabilities if in a loss position, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as adjustments to AOCI in stockholders' equity. See "Note 5. Borrowed Funds" for additional information. The estimated fair values of the interest rates swaps are obtained from the counterparty and are determined by a discounted cash flow analysis using observable market-based inputs. On a quarterly basis, management corroborates the estimated fair values by internally calculating the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis with independent observable market-based inputs from a third party. No adjustments were made to the estimated fair values obtained from the counterparty during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 or during fiscal year ~~2021.~~2022. (Level 2)

The following tables provide the level of valuation assumption used to determine the carrying value of the Company's financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates presented. The Company did not have any Level 3 financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 or September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for significant financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The significant unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of assets classified as Level 3 have an inherent measurement uncertainty that, if changed, could result in higher or lower fair value measurements of these assets as of the reporting date.

Loans Receivable - Collateral dependent assets are assets evaluated on an individual basis. Those collateral dependent assets that are evaluated on an individual basis are considered financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

The fair value of collateral dependent loans/loans individually evaluated for loss on a non-recurring basis during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022 ~~and 2021~~ that were still held in the portfolio as of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022 ~~and 2021~~ was ~~$4.3~~$3.6 million and ~~$7.4~~$4.2 million, respectively. Fair values of collateral dependent loans/loans individually evaluated for loss cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the loan and, as such, are classified as Level 3.

The one- to four-family loans included in this amount were individually evaluated to determine if the carrying value of the loan was in excess of the fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs of 10%. Fair values were estimated through current appraisals. Management does not adjust or apply a discount to the appraised value of one- to four-family loans, except for the estimated sales cost noted above, and the primary unobservable input for these loans was the appraisal.

For commercial loans, if the most recent appraisal or book value of the collateral does not reflect current market conditions due to the passage of time and/or other factors, management will ~~make adjustments to~~adjust the existing appraised or book value based on knowledge of local market conditions, recent transactions, and estimated selling costs, if applicable. Adjustments to appraised or book values are generally based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace. The primary significant unobservable inputs for commercial loans individually evaluated during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 ~~and June 30, 2021~~ were downward adjustments to the book value of the

2725

~~of the~~ collateral for lack of marketability. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023, the adjustments ranged from 8% to 100%, with a weighted average of 21%. During the six months ended March 31, 2022, the adjustments ranged from 9% to 56%, with a weighted average of 21%~~. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the adjustments ranged from 7% to 50%, with a weighted average of 22%~~. The basis utilized in calculating the weighted averages for these adjustments was the original unadjusted value of each collateral item.

Fair values of collateral dependent loans/loans individually evaluated for loss cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the loan and, as such, are classified as Level 3.

OREO - OREO primarily represents real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and is carried at lower of cost or fair value. The fair value for OREO is estimated through current appraisals or listing prices, less estimated selling costs of 10%. Management does not adjust or apply a discount to the appraised value or listing price, except for the estimated sales costs noted above. The primary significant unobservable input for OREO was the appraisal or listing price. Fair values of foreclosed property cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale of the property and, as such, are classified as Level 3. The fair value of OREO measured on a non-recurring basis during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~June 30, 2022 and 2021~~March 31, 2023 that was still held in the portfolio as of ~~June 30, 2022 and 2021~~March 31, 2023 was ~~$258 thousand and $177 thousand, respectively.~~$93 thousand. There was no OREO measured on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended March 31, 2022. The carrying value of the properties equaled the fair value of the properties at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2021.~~2022.

Fair Value Disclosures - The Company estimated fair value amounts using available market information and a variety of valuation methodologies as of the dates presented. Considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company would realize from a current market exchange at subsequent dates.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company. The Bank comprises almost all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company and the Company is dependent primarily upon the performance of the Bank for the results of its operations. Because of this relationship, references to management actions, strategies and results of actions apply to both the Bank and the ~~Company.~~Company except where the context indicates otherwise. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, filed with the SEC.

Executive Summary

The following summary should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in its entirety.

The Company recognized net income of ~~$65.0~~$30.4 million, or ~~$0.48~~$0.23 per share, for the current year ~~nine-month~~ period compared to net income of ~~$57.5~~$43.8 million, or ~~$0.42~~$0.32 per share, for the prior year ~~nine-month~~ period. The ~~increase~~decrease in net income was due primarily to ~~an increase in net interest income, partially offset by higher income tax expense and~~recording a ~~lower negative~~ provision for credit ~~losses.~~losses of $4.6 million for the current year period compared to a $6.6 million release of provision for the prior year period. The net interest margin decreased ~~six~~24 basis points, from ~~1.88%~~1.83% for the prior year period to ~~1.82%~~1.59% for the current year period. Excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, the net interest margin ~~would have increased 16~~decreased 21 basis points, from ~~1.88%~~2.00% for the prior year period to ~~2.04%~~1.79% for the current year period. The ~~increase~~decrease in the net interest margin excluding the effects of the leverage strategy was due mainly to ~~a reduction~~an increase in the ~~weighted average~~ cost of ~~retail~~borrowings and deposits, which exceeded the increase in loan yields. Net interest margin compression is anticipated to continue, and the margin is expected to compress more in the near term, due to the shape of the yield curve and with liabilities repricing faster than assets, along with higher costing borrowings in order to fund loan growth, increasing the Bank's money market rates in response to competitor pricing, and deposit funds moving from lower costing deposit accounts to higher costing certificates of ~~deposit and borrowings, which outpaced~~deposit. See additional discussion in the ~~decrease in weighted average asset yields.~~"Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook" section below.

Total assets were ~~$9.48~~$10.09 billion at ~~June~~March 31, 2023, a $460.9 million increase from September 30, ~~2022,~~2022. The increase in assets was primarily a result of loan growth, mainly in the correspondent one- to four-family and commercial real estate loan portfolios. Total deposits were $6.14 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of ~~$155.2~~$50.4 million from September 30, ~~2021. During~~2022. The decrease was mainly in money market account balances, which decreased $284.5 million, partially offset by a $226.3 million increase in retail certificates of deposit since September 30, 2022. The decrease in money market accounts was likely due to customers moving funds to alternative, higher yielding investment products, including certificates of deposit offered by the ~~current year period, cash~~Bank, and/or ~~securities were partially reinvested~~withdrawing funds for customer spending. The growth in the loan portfolio ~~which increased 2.9% on~~and decrease in deposits resulted in an ~~annualized basis. Total deposits were $6.33~~increase in FHLB borrowings by $578.4 million during the current year period.

The Bank exceeded $10 billion in total assets at March 31, 2023 and may again at June 30, ~~2022, a decrease of $267.5 million from~~2023. It is management's expectation that the Bank will be under $10 billion in total assets at September 30, ~~2021. The majority~~2023. There are increased direct costs, additional regulatory burdens with indirect costs, and lost revenue, mainly related to interchange fees, associated with the Bank being over $10 billion in total assets at certain points in time and for consecutive periods of time. Being over $10 billion in total assets at March 31, 2023 did not result in any additional regulatory requirements, increased direct or indirect costs, or lost revenues. We continue to work on limiting the ~~decrease occurred during the current quarter. Deposit outflows were replaced~~growth in total assets by reducing new correspondent one- to four-family purchases to near zero, along with limiting additional use of FHLB ~~advances.~~advances for operating needs, and evaluating other balance sheet management opportunities.

The Bank's asset quality remained strong, reflected in low delinquency ~~levels~~ and ~~a net recovery during the current year nine-month period.~~charge-off ratios. At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, loans 30 to 89 days delinquent were ~~0.16%~~0.11% of total loans receivable, net, and loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure were ~~0.12%~~0.07% of total loans receivable, net. During the current quarter and current year ~~period,~~periods, net ~~recoveries~~charge-offs ("NCOs") were ~~$220 thousand.~~$14 thousand and $16 thousand, respectively.

For short-term liquidity needs, the Bank has access to a line of credit at the FHLB in addition to the FRB of Kansas City discount window and the newly established FRB Bank Term Funding Program ("BTFP"). The Bank's FHLB borrowing limit was 50% of the Bank's Call Report total assets as of March 31, 2023. The amount that can be borrowed from the FRB of Kansas City's discount window is based upon the fair value of securities pledged as collateral and the amount that can be borrowed through the BTFP is based upon the par value of securities pledged as collateral. Management estimated that the Bank had $2.85 billion in additional liquidity

available at March 31, 2023 based on the Bank's blanket collateral agreement with FHLB and the par value of unencumbered securities.

At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank had a one-year gap position of ~~$(1.33) billion,~~$(803.5) million, or ~~(14.0)~~(8.0)% of total assets, meaning the amount of interest-bearing liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing during the ~~same period. Despite~~next year. This was compared to a ~~negative~~one-year gap position of $(1.02) billion, or (10.3)% of total assets, at December 31, 2022. The change in the ~~net~~one-year gap amount was due primarily to a decrease in the amount of liability cash flows coming due in one year at March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022 and an increase in the amount of asset cash flows coming due for the same time periods. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in the amount of non-maturity deposits projected by the Bank's interest ~~income projection increased~~rate risk model to mature within one year as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to ~~September 30, 2021 due to the assumption that the Bank's deposit balances are not expected to reprice to the full extent of the~~December 31, 2022, partially offset by an increase in ~~market interest rates. This assumption is based~~cash flows projected to be received on ~~a historical analysis~~loans as of ~~the Bank's deposit pricing behavior.~~March 31, 2023.

Management ~~intends to implement~~is in the process of implementing a new core processing system ("digital transformation") for the Bank, which is expected to be operational by September 2023. ~~The replacement system is expected~~We expect the new platform will allow us to ~~better position the Bank for the future and allow for the introduction of~~introduce new products and services quickly, to ~~enhance customer experiences. The implementation of~~drive better efficiencies and provide a more personalized experience for our customers.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our most critical accounting estimates are the methodologies used to determine the ACL and reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures and fair value measurements. These estimates are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, involve a high degree of complexity, and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments that may require assumptions about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions, and estimates could affect reported results materially. These critical accounting estimates and their application are reviewed at least annually by our audit committee. For a full discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see "Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

During the current quarter, total assets increased by $156.0 million, which was primarily driven by loan growth of $175.2 million, mainly in the correspondent one- to four-family and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The one- to four-family correspondent loan portfolio increased $115.3 million, or 4.9%, primarily as a result of purchasing loans that were in the pipeline as of December 31, 2022 as the Bank continues to work towards reducing new correspondent purchases to near zero. Commercial loans increased $71.3 million, or 6.4%, during the current quarter, due to $42.0 million in commercial real estate originations and purchases along with $35.0 million in funding on existing construction loans.

Total liabilities increased $138.8 million during the current quarter due to an increase in deposits of $69.9 million, along with new borrowings of $58.4 million. The increase in deposit balances was due primarily to retail/commercial certificates of deposit, which increased $236.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in money market account balances, which decreased $159.3 million during the current quarter. The decrease in money market account balances was likely due to depositors moving funds to alternative, higher yield investment products and/or withdrawing funds for customer spending. Additionally, the Bank held a certificate of deposit promotional campaign during the current quarter which resulted in $177.3 million in new certificates of deposit at a weighted average rate of 4.34%; the majority of these funds were from customer transfers of existing deposits within the Bank. See additional discussion regarding net interest margin compression in "Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook" section below.

During the current fiscal year, loan balances increased $494.4 million and deposit balances decreased $50.4 million, which made it necessary to increase FHLB borrowings by $578.4 million during that time. The loan growth was primarily in the correspondent loan portfolio, as the Bank worked through its existing pipeline of applications, and commercial loan portfolio, which increased $266.8 million and $215.3 million, respectively. The decrease in deposits was primarily in the money market portfolio, partially offset by an increase in certificates of deposit. The FHLB borrowing increase was composed of $550.0 million of new advances with a weighted average maturity ("WAM") of 3.3 years and $128.4 million on the Bank's FHLB line of credit, partially offset by $100.0 million in FHLB advances that matured during the current year period.

At times, the Bank has utilized a leverage strategy to increase earnings. The leverage strategy during the current year involved borrowing up to $2.60 billion by entering into short-term FHLB advances. During the current quarter and current year ~~period, cash flows~~periods, the average outstanding balance of leverage strategy borrowings was $979.2 million and $1.43 billion, respectively. The borrowings were repaid prior to March 31, 2023. The proceeds from the ~~securities portfolio and/or excess operating~~borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings, which yielded 8.75% and 8.58% during the current quarter and current year periods, respectively, were deposited at the FRB of Kansas City. Net income attributable to the leverage strategy is largely derived from the dividends received on FHLB stock holdings, plus the net interest rate spread between the yield on the cash ~~were partially reinvested into~~deposited at the ~~loan portfolio. Loans receivable,~~FRB of Kansas City and the rate paid on the related FHLB borrowings, less applicable federal insurance premiums and estimated taxes. Net income attributable to the leverage strategy was $110 thousand during the current quarter, compared to $763 thousand for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in net ~~increased $155.1 million~~income was due to a lower net interest rate spread associated with the leverage strategy and a reduction in the size of the leverage strategy transaction because the borrowing capacity was needed for operational purposes. Net income attributable to the leverage strategy during the current year period ~~due primarily~~was $873 thousand, compared to ~~a $74.5 million increase~~$545 thousand for the prior year period. Net income was higher in ~~commercial loans and a $74.0 million increase in one- to four-family loans.

Loans Receivable. The following table presents the balance and weighted average rate of our loan portfolio as of the dates indicated. The loan portfolio rate increased 10 basis points during the current quarter and 24 basis points during the current year period, due primarily to one- to four-family correspondent and commercial loan growth at interest rates higher than the existing portfolios, disbursements on higher rate commercial construction loans, and repricing of existing commercial loans to higher market interest rates. The average prepayment speed on one- to four-family loans was approximately 5% during the current quarter and prior quarter, and 7% during the quarter ended September 30, 2022.

Commercial Loans - During the ~~nine~~current quarter and six months ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank originated ~~$174.9~~$79.9 million and $299.2 million of commercial loans, respectively, and entered into commercial loan participations totaling ~~$82.1 million. During the quarter~~$48.4 million and ~~nine months ended June 30, 2022, the~~$184.2 million, respectively. The Bank also processed commercial loan disbursements, excluding lines of credit, during the current quarter and six months ended March 31, 2023 of approximately ~~$57.8~~$98.9 million and ~~$232.0~~$306.7 million, respectively, at a weighted average rate of ~~4.37%~~6.27% and ~~4.04%~~5.45%, respectively.

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~ March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Bank's commercial and industrial gross loan amounts (unpaid principal plus undisbursed amounts) totaled ~~$95.2~~$130.3 million, ~~$101.3~~$113.2 million and ~~$90.7~~$100.4 million, respectively, and commitments totaled ~~$440 thousand, $1.4~~$7.0 million, $5.1 million and ~~$16.9 million~~$458 thousand, respectively.

The following table presents the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction loans by type of primary collateral as of the dates indicated. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank had 2611 commercial real estate and commercial construction loan commitments, totaling ~~$65.5~~$91.6 million, at a weighted average rate of ~~4.17%~~6.78%. Because the commitments to pay out undisbursed funds are not cancellable by the Bank, unless the loan is in default, we generally anticipate fully funding the related projects. Of the total commercial undisbursed amounts and commitments outstanding as of March 31, 2023, management anticipates approximately $85 million will be funded during the June 2023 quarter, $84 million during the September 2023 quarter, $89 million during the December 2023 quarter, and $63 million during the March 2024 quarter.

Allowance for Credit Losses. The distribution of our ACL and the ratio of ACL to loans receivable, by loan type, at the dates indicated is summarized below. The ACL increased compared to September 30, 2022, due primarily to growth in the commercial loan portfolio, along with a reduction in prepayment speeds for all loan categories. See "Note 4. Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses" for additional information related to the calculation of ACL as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

The following table presents ACL activity and related ratios at the dates and for the periods indicated. The ratio of ~~net charge-offs (recoveries) ("NCOs")~~NCOs to average non-performing assets during the current year period was positive due to ~~average non-performing assets~~charge-offs exceeding recoveries, while the prior year period was a negative ~~percentage~~due to recoveries exceeding charge-offs. The ratio of ACL to nonaccrual loans was higher at the end of the current year period compared to ~~a positive percentage in~~the end of the prior year period due to a net recovery in the current year period and a net charge-off in the prior year period. The ACL to nonaccrual loans at end of period ratio was higher at June 30, 2022 compared to June 30, 2021 duemainly to a lower balance of nonaccrual loans compared to the prior year period, along with higher ACL at ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The ratio of ACL to ~~loans receivable, net at end of~~NCOs for the prior year period ~~ratio~~ was ~~lower at June 30, 2022~~not meaningful as recoveries exceeded loan charge-offs, compared to ~~June 30, 2021 due primarily to a lower ACL balance at June 30, 2022.~~the current year period where loan charge-offs exceeded recoveries. See "Note 4. Loans Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses" for additional information related to ACL activity by specific loan categories.

While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the adequacy of the ACL is determined by certain factors outside of the Company's control, such as the performance of our portfolios, changes in the economic environment including economic uncertainty, changes in interest rates, and the views of regulatory authorities toward classification of assets and the level of ACL. Additionally, the level of ACL may fluctuate based on the balance and mix of the loan portfolio. If actual results reflect significant underperformance compared to our assumptions and/or if one or more of our assumptions, such as the economic forecast, represents a more negative outlook in a future period, there could be additions to our ACL and an increase in the provision for credit losses.

Liabilities. Total liabilities were ~~$8.34 billion at June 30, 2022, compared to $8.36~~$9.01 billion at March 31, ~~2022 and $8.39~~2023, compared to $8.53 billion at September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The ~~decrease in liabilities between March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022~~increase was due ~~primarily~~ to new borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in deposits, along with a decrease in escrows due to timing of when funds are received and disbursed, largely offset by an increase in borrowings. The decrease in liabilities between September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2022 was due primarily to a reduction in deposits, along with a decrease in other liabilities mainly related to a reduction in the interest rate swap loss position as a result of an increase in market interest rates and the funding of low income housing partnership commitments, along with a decrease in escrows due to timing of when funds are received and disbursed, largely offset by an increase in borrowings.deposits.

The $69.9 million increase in deposits during the current quarter was mainly in the retail/commercial certificate of deposit portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the money market account balances. The increase in retail certificates of deposit was primarily in the short-term category, followed by the intermediate-term category. The long-term certificate of deposit category decreased during the current quarter. On average, approximately 78% of the retail certificates of deposits that matured over the past 12 months were retained by the Bank.

The $50.4 million decrease in deposits between September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023 was due primarily to a reduction in ~~retail checking account balances and continued reduction~~money market accounts, partially offset by an increase in retail certificates of deposit. The decrease in ~~our~~money market accounts was likely due to customers moving funds to alternative, higher yielding investment products, including a certificate of deposit promotional campaign offered by the Bank, and/or withdrawing funds for customer spending. During the third quarter of the prior fiscal year, the Bank began increasing money market interest rates in response to competitor pricing to help stem the outflow of those funds. The change in the composition of retail ~~certificates~~certificate of deposit portfolio categories during the current year ~~was generally in accounts with terms of 18 months or longer. Retail certificates of deposit with terms less than 18 months increased during~~mirrored the current ~~year. The Bank has begun~~quarter change.

As of March 31, 2023, approximately $634.7 million of the Bank's deposit portfolio was uninsured, or approximately 10% of the Bank's Call Report deposit balance, of which approximately $348.0 million related to ~~increase offered rates on certificates~~commercial and retail deposit accounts and the remainder was mainly comprised of deposit and money market accounts, which has reduced the runoff in these portfolios. The decrease in commercial certificates of deposit during the current year was expected, as certain maturities of deposits received in prior fiscal years were anticipated to be used to fund operations at the depositors' related businesses during the current year. The decrease infully collateralized public unit deposits ~~was due to rapidly increasing costs of available funds in this category, to~~and intercompany accounts. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the ~~point that rates were in excess of other funding sources available to~~methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank. During the current quarter, FHLB advances were entered into in response to deposit outflows. The Bank may be required to continue to replace deposit outflows with higher costing borrowings, which would increase the cost of funds over time.Bank's regulatory reporting requirements.

Borrowings. ~~The~~Historically the Bank has primarily ~~uses~~used long-term fixed-rate borrowings with no embedded options to lengthen the average life of the Bank's liabilities. The ~~fixed-rate characteristics~~new borrowings during the current fiscal year had a weighted average maturity of 3.3 years, which is generally a shorter term than what management has selected in prior periods in anticipation that, when rates begin to decrease, these borrowings ~~lock-in~~can be repaid or repriced to lower cost options. In consideration of the ~~cost until maturity and thus decrease~~current interest rate environment, management intends to continue selecting shorter-term borrowings in the ~~amount of liabilities repricing as interest rates move higher compared to funding with lower-cost short-term borrowings. These~~near term. The fixed-rate borrowings are laddered in order to prevent large amounts of liabilities repricing in any one period.

Total borrowings at March 31, 2023 were $2.70 billion, an increase of $51.4 million and $564.5 million from December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The increase in borrowings from December 31, 2022 was due mainly to a $58.4 million increase in the drawn amount on the FHLB line of credit during the current quarter. The increase in borrowings from September 30, 2022 was composed of $550.0 million of new advances with a WAM of 3.3 years and $128.4 million on the Bank's FHLB line of credit, partially offset by $100.0 million in FHLB advances that matured during the current year period. The $2.70 billion balance at March 31, 2023 was comprised of $2.13 billion in fixed-rate FHLB advances, $365.0 million in variable-rate advances tied to interest rate swaps, and $203.4 million on the FHLB line of credit. Borrowings increased during the current year period to fund loan growth and deposit outflows. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the Bank repaid its borrowings on the FHLB line of credit and borrowed $500.0 million under the FRB BTFP, as the rate was more favorable than the rates offered on the FHLB line of credit or the rate on a one-year FHLB advance at that point in time. See additional discussion in "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

The following table presents the maturity of non-amortizing term borrowings, which consist entirely of FHLB advances, along with associated weighted average contractual and effective rates as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

(1)Represents adjustable-rate FHLB advances for which the Bank has entered into interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $365.0 million to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with the advances. Each interest rate swap matures on the same date as the related FHLB advance. The expected WAL of the interest rate swaps and related advances was 3.3 years at June 30, 2022.

~~(2)~~The effective rate includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid.

The following table presents borrowing activity for the periods shown. The borrowings presented in the table have original contractual terms of one year or longer or are tied to interest rate swaps with original contractual terms of one year or longer. The effective rate is shown as a weighted average and includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The ~~weighted average maturity ("WAM")~~WAM is the remaining weighted average contractual term in years. The beginning and ending WAMs represent the remaining maturity at each date presented. For new borrowings, the WAMs presented are as of the date of issue. ~~The increase in the balance of FHLB advances during the current quarter was due to funding needs primarily in response to deposit outflows.~~

During the current year-to-date period, the Bank reimplemented the leverage strategy which involved borrowing up to $2.10 billion either on the Bank's line of credit with FHLB or by entering into short-term FHLB advances, depending on the rates offered by FHLB. These borrowings were repaid prior to June 30, 2022. In July 2022, the level of borrowings associated with the leverage strategy was increased to $2.60 billion to further increase earnings, in response to the increase in the dividend rate paid by FHLB.

Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2023 was $1.07 billion, a decrease of $24.5 million from September 30, 2022. During the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company paid cash dividends totaling ~~$91.6~~$60.5 million. These cash dividends totaled ~~$0.675~~$0.45 per share and consisted of a ~~$0.22~~$0.28 per share cash true-up dividend related to fiscal year ~~2021~~2022 earnings ~~a $0.20 per share True Blue Capitol cash dividend,~~ and ~~three~~two regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.085 per share.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $118.6 million at March 31, 2023, which was composed of $125.3 million attributable to unrealized losses on AFS securities, partially offset by $6.6 million of unrealized gains on derivatives. The unrealized loss on AFS securities improved at March 31, 2023 from $142.1 million at December 31, 2022, due mainly to changes in market interest rates.

On ~~July 19, 2022,~~April 25, 2023, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately ~~$11.5~~$11.3 million, payable on ~~August~~May 19, ~~2022~~2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on ~~August~~May 5, ~~2022.~~2023. In the long run, management considers the Bank's equity to total assets ratio of at least 9% an appropriate level of capital. At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, this ratio was ~~10.6%~~9.7%. Excluding the impact of unrealized losses on AFS securities, this ratio would have been approximately 110 basis points higher.

Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank in accordance with regulatory standards. As of March 31, 2023, the Bank's community bank leverage ratio ("CBLR") was 9.7%, which exceeded the minimum requirement of 9.0%. The CBLR is based on average assets. The leverage strategy increases average assets which in turn reduces the Bank's CBLR. As of March, 31, 2023 the Bank exceeded all internal policy thresholds for sensitivity to changes in interest rates, and the Bank's risk-based tier 1 capital ratio was 19.2%.

There remains $22.5 million authorized under the existing stock repurchase plan for additional purchases of the Company's common stock. Shares may be repurchased from time to time based upon market conditions, available liquidity and other factors. This plan has no expiration date; however, the Federal Reserve Bank's existing approval for the Company to repurchase shares expires in August 2023.

At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had ~~$91.9~~$56.4 million in cash on deposit at the Bank. The balance of cash at the holding company level has been accumulating over the past several years and is available for the Company to utilize for dividend payments, share repurchases, or for other business strategies at the discretion of the Company. For fiscal year ~~2022,~~2023, it is the intention of the Board of Directors to ~~continue~~pay out the ~~payout~~regular quarterly cash dividend of ~~100%~~$0.085 per share, as well as any of the Company's earnings ~~to the Company's stockholders.~~in excess of that amount. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors, including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, and the amount of cash at the holding company level.

As of June 30, 2022, there remained $44.7 million authorized under the existing stock repurchase plan for additional purchases of the Company's common stock. Shares may be repurchased from time to time based upon market conditions, available liquidity and other factors. This plan has no expiration date; however, the FRB's existing approval for the Company to repurchase shares extends through August 2022. The Company plans to request a further extension of the FRB's approval.

The Company works to find multiple ways to provide stockholder value. This has primarily been through the payment of cash dividends and stock ~~buybacks.~~repurchases. The Company has maintained a policy of paying out 100% of its earnings to stockholders in the form of quarterly cash dividends and an annual cash true-up dividend in December of each year. In order to provide additional stockholder value, the Company has paid a True Blue ~~Capitol cash~~Capital dividend ~~of $0.25 per share~~ in ~~June for six consecutive~~ years ending in 2019. Given the state of economic uncertainty in 2020, the Company elected to defer the True Blue dividend originally planned for June 2020. In June 2021, the Company paid a True Blue Capitol cash dividend of $0.40 per share. This cash dividend represented a $0.20 per share cash dividend from fiscal year 2020 and a $0.20 per share cash dividend from fiscal year 2021. In June 2022, the Company paid a True Blue Capitol cash dividend of $0.20 per share.past. The Company has paid the True Blue Capitol dividend primarily due to excess capital levels at the Company and Bank. The Company considers various business strategies and their impact on capital and asset measures on both a current and future basis, as well as Company earnings and regulatory capital levels and the related requirements, in determining the amount, if any, and timing of the True Blue Capitol dividend.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~March~~December 31, 2022

For the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company recognized net income of ~~$21.2~~$14.2 million, or ~~$0.16~~$0.11 per share, compared to net income of ~~$21.6~~$16.2 million, or ~~$0.16~~$0.12 per share, for the quarter ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022. The decrease in net income was due primarily to ~~a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by an increase in~~lower net interest income ~~and lower income tax expense.~~in the current quarter. The net interest margin ~~increased 10~~decreased five basis points, from ~~1.69%~~1.61% for the prior quarter to ~~1.79%~~1.56% for the current quarter. ~~When the leverage strategy discussed below is in place, it reduces the net interest margin due to the amount of earnings from the transaction in comparison to the size of the transaction.~~ Excluding the effects of the leverage strategy discussed below, the net interest margin ~~would have increased 10~~decreased 17 basis points, from ~~2.01%~~1.88% for the prior quarter to ~~2.11%~~1.71% for the current quarter. The ~~increase~~decrease in the net interest margin excluding the effects of the leverage strategy was due mainly to an increase in ~~asset~~the cost of deposits and borrowings, partially offset by an increase in loan yields due to higher market interest rates and ~~a change~~an increase in the ~~mix~~average balance of ~~interest-earning assets, as cash was used to fund loan growth.~~

~~At times,~~loans. Management anticipates the Bank has utilized a leverage strategy to increase earnings. The leverage strategy during the current quarter involved borrowing up to $2.10 billion by entering into short-term FHLB advances. The borrowings were repaid prior to quarter end. The proceeds from the borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings which yielded 6.5% during the current quarter, were deposited at the FRB of Kansas City. Net income attributable to the leverage strategy is largely derived from the dividends received on FHLB stock holdings, plusreduction in the net interest rate spread between the yield on the cash deposited at the FRB of Kansas City and the rate paid on the related FHLB borrowings, less applicable federal insurance premiums and estimated taxes. Net income attributable to the leverage strategy was $1.2 million during the current quarter and $1.8 million during the current year-to-date period. Management continues to monitor the net interest rate spread and overall profitability of the strategy. In July 2022, the Bank increased the level of borrowings associated with the leverage strategy to $2.60 billion to further increase earnings in response to the increasemargin will continue in the ~~dividend rate paid by FHLB. It is expected that the strategy will continue to be utilized as long as it remains profitable.~~near term. See additional discussion in "Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook" below.

Interest and Dividend Income

The following table presents the components of interest and dividend income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent. The weighted average yield on loans receivable increased ~~four~~13 basis points and the weighted average yield on MBS increased ~~eight~~four basis points compared to the prior quarter.

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due ~~primarily~~ to ~~a decrease in correspondent loan premium amortization related to a reduction in payoff activity, as well as~~ growth in the ~~correspondent~~ loan portfolio. The increase in interest income on MBS was due mainly to a decrease in premium amortization related to a slowdown in prepayment activity. The increase in dividend income on FHLB stock was due mainly toportfolio, along with an increase in the ~~dividend~~weighted average yield. The loan growth was mainly in the correspondent one-to four-family and commercial real estate loan portfolios. The increase in the weighted average yield was due primarily to originations and purchases at higher market yields, as well as disbursements on commercial construction loans at rates higher than the overall portfolio rate ~~paid by FHLB.~~and upward repricing of existing adjustable-rate loans due to higher market interest rates. The ~~increase~~decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due mainly to a decrease in the average balance of cash associated with the leverage strategy compared to the prior quarter due to a reduction in the leverage strategy usage in the current quarter, partially offset by an increase in the yield earned on balances held at the FRB of Kansas City due to higher market interest rates. The decrease in dividend income on FHLB stock was due mainly to a decrease in the ~~majority~~average balance of ~~which were related to~~FHLB stock associated with the leverage strategy, ~~due to~~partially offset by an increase in ~~market interest rates.~~the dividend rate paid by FHLB.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the quarter ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of ~~$937~~$891 thousand, compared to a ~~negative~~ provision for credit losses of ~~$3.2~~$3.7 million for the prior quarter. The provision for credit losses in the current quarter was comprised of a ~~$796~~$714 thousand increase in the ACL for loans and a ~~$141~~$177 thousand increase in reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures.

Average Balance Sheet

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

(9)The table below provides a reconciliation between certain performance ratios presented in accordance with GAAP and the performance ratios excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it is important for comparability purposes to provide the performance ratios without the leverage strategy because of the unique nature of the leverage strategy. The leverage strategy reduces some of our performance ratios due to the amount of earnings associated with the transaction in comparison to the size of the transaction, while increasing our net income.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 to the three months ended ~~March~~December 31, 2022. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous year's average rate and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous year period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

The ~~increase~~decrease in salaries and employee benefits was attributable mainly to a decrease in incentive compensation.

The decrease in the effective tax rate was due primarily to lower projected pretax income in the current year, as the Company's permanent differences, which generally reduce our tax rate, have a larger impact to the overall effective rate.

Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook

The rapid increase in short-term rates led by the FRB and the inverted yield curve has led to decreases in the Bank's net interest margin. There has been a runoff in some deposit product balances and management has increased ~~slightly~~certificate of deposit and money market account rates to help mitigate the outflow. The higher loan rates have made the purchase of homes less affordable and reduced the turnover of housing inventory, which lowers the likelihood of existing one- to four-family loans at lower rates being paid off as a result of housing turnover. These dynamics have caused our balance sheet to change faster than what would occur in more stable rate environments. Net interest margin compression is anticipated to continue, and the margin is expected to compress more in the near term, due to the shape of the yield curve and the pace at which liabilities are repricing compared to assets, along with lower costing deposits being replaced with higher costing borrowings in order to fund loan growth, and deposit funds moving from lower costing deposit accounts to certificates of deposit. Loan growth is occurring at market interest rates that are higher than the ~~prior~~overall loan portfolio rate; however, the shift to higher-costing borrowings and the pace at which the interest rate increase is occurring for liabilities is more than offsetting the benefit of the higher loan rates. As with managing the size of the balance sheet, management continues to evaluate funding options and plans to continue using shorter term borrowings, as necessary, with the anticipation that when rates begin to decrease, those borrowings can be repaid or repriced to lower cost alternatives faster.

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, management increased the rates offered on the Bank's money market accounts in response to competitor pricing. This increase, in combination with the full-quarter impact of the Bank's certificate of deposit promotional campaign and the ongoing repricing of the Bank's certificate of deposit and FHLB advance portfolios, offset by growth in the yield on loans, is expected to reduce the net interest margin by approximately 20 basis points during the June 2023 quarter, excluding the impact of the leverage strategy.

Management intends to implement a new core processing system ("digital transformation") for the Bank by September 2023. The digital transformation is expected to better position the Bank for the future and allow for the introduction of new products and services to enhance customer experiences. Management anticipates information technology and related expenses will be approximately $5 million higher in fiscal year ~~period,~~2023 compared to fiscal year 2022 due to the digital transformation. In addition, it is expected there will be approximately $1 million more of information technology and related expenses in fiscal year 2023 related to projects outside of the digital transformation and due to general cost increases. Overall, it is anticipated that information technology and related expenses will be approximately $6 million higher in ~~line with management's anticipation~~fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022, or approximately $24 million for the year. In fiscal year 2024, information technology and related expense is expected to decrease approximately $3 million from fiscal year 2023 levels due to a reduction in professional service costs. Previously, management expected an increase in salaries and benefits of an$3.5 million in fiscal year 2023 and now expect salaries and benefits to remain flat in fiscal year 2023. This is due to several factors such as open positions remaining unfilled, reduced incentive compensation expectations, and a lower merit increase than was projected at September 30, 2022. Federal insurance premium expense is anticipated to be approximately $1.3 million higher in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022, due to the increase in the assessment rate that began in January 2023 for all insured depository institutions. Management anticipates the effective tax rate ~~of approximately 21%~~ for fiscal year ~~2022.~~

2023 will be approximately 19%.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous period's average rate, and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 to the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous year's average rate and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous year period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity refers to our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund ongoing operations, to repay maturing certificates of deposit and other deposit withdrawals, to repay maturing borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of our business management. The Company's most available liquid assets are represented by cash and cash equivalents, AFS securities, and short-term investment securities. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB borrowings, repayments and maturities of outstanding loans and MBS and other short-term investments, and funds provided by operations. The Bank's long-term borrowings primarily have been used to manage long-term liquidity needs and the Bank's interest rate risk with the intention to improve the earnings of the Bank while maintaining capital ratios ~~in excess of~~that meet or exceed the regulatory standards for well-capitalized financial institutions. In addition, the Bank's focus on managing risk has provided additional liquidity capacity by maintaining a balance of MBS and investment securities available as collateral for borrowings.

We generally intend to manage cash reserves sufficient to meet short-term liquidity needs, which are routinely forecasted for 10, 30, and 365 days. Additionally, on a monthly basis, we perform a liquidity stress test in accordance with the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. The liquidity stress test incorporates both short-term and long-term liquidity scenarios in order to identify and to quantify liquidity risk. Management also monitors key liquidity statistics related to items such as wholesale funding gaps, borrowings capacity, and available unpledged collateral, as well as various liquidity ratios.

In the event short-term liquidity needs exceed available cash, the Bank has access to a line of credit at FHLB, ~~and~~ the FRB of Kansas City's discount ~~window.~~window, and the newly established BTFP. Per FHLB's lending guidelines, total FHLB borrowings cannot exceed 40% of Bank Call Report total assets without the pre-approval of FHLB senior management. The Bank's FHLB borrowing limit was 50% of Bank Call Report total assets as of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, as approved by the president of FHLB. When the leverage strategy is in place, the Bank maintains the resulting excess cash reserves from the FHLB borrowings at the FRB of Kansas City, which can be used to meet any short-term liquidity needs. Additionally, FHLB borrowings may ~~be in excess of~~exceed 40% of Bank Call Report total assets as long as the Bank continues its leverage strategy and FHLB senior management continues to approve the Bank's borrowing limit being in excess of 40% of Call Report total assets. All or a portion of the short-term FHLB borrowings in conjunction with the leverage strategy can be repaid at maturity, if necessary or desired. The amount that can be borrowed from the FRB of Kansas City's discount window is based upon the fair value of securities pledged as collateral and certain other characteristics of those securities. Management tests the Bank's access to the FRB of Kansas City's discount window annually with a nominal, overnight ~~borrowing.~~borrowing, which was completed during the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. There were no borrowings from the discount window during the current quarter. The amount that can be borrowed under the BTFP is based upon the par value of securities pledged as collateral, the term can be up to one year in length, and the borrowings can be prepaid without penalty. There were no BTFP borrowings during the current quarter. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, the Bank repaid its borrowings on the FHLB line of credit and borrowed $500.0 million under the BTFP as the rate was more favorable than the rates offered on the FHLB line of credit or the rate on a one-year FHLB advance at that point in time.

If management observes unusual trends in the amount and frequency of line of credit utilization and/or short-term borrowings that is not in conjunction with a planned strategy, such as the leverage strategy, the Bank will likely utilize long-term wholesale borrowing sources such as FHLB advances and/or repurchase agreements to provide long-term, fixed-rate funding. The maturities of these long-term borrowings are generally staggered in order to mitigate the risk of a highly negative cash flow position at maturity. The Bank's internal policy limits total borrowings to 55% of total assets. At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank had total borrowings, at par, of ~~$1.88~~$2.70 billion, or approximately ~~20%~~27% of total assets, all of which were FHLB borrowings. Of this amount, ~~$275.0~~$444.7 million were advances scheduled to mature in the next 12 months. ~~All~~ FHLB borrowings are secured by certain qualifying loans pursuant to a blanket collateral agreement with FHLB. Management estimated that the Bank had $2.85 billion in additional liquidity available at March 31, 2023 based on the Bank's blanket collateral agreement with FHLB and unencumbered securities.

At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank had no repurchase agreements. The Bank may enter into repurchase agreements as management deems appropriate, not to exceed 15% of total assets, and subject to the total borrowings internal policy limit of 55% as discussed above.

The Bank could utilize the repayment and maturity of outstanding loans, MBS, and other investments for liquidity needs rather than reinvesting such funds into the related portfolios. ~~At June 30, 2022, the Bank had $1.55 billion of securities that were eligible but unused as collateral for borrowing or other liquidity needs.~~

The Bank has access to other sources of funds for liquidity purposes, such as brokered and public unit certificates of deposit. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank's policy allowed for combined brokered and public unit certificates of deposit up to 15% of total deposits. At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank did not have any brokered certificates of deposit, and public unit certificates of deposit were approximately 1%2% of total deposits. The Bank had pledged securities with an estimated fair value of ~~$123.9~~$155.9 million as collateral for public unit certificates of deposit at ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The securities pledged as collateral for public unit certificates of deposit are held under joint custody with FHLB and generally will be released upon deposit maturity.

At ~~June 30, 2022, $1.36~~March 31, 2023, $1.08 billion of the Bank's certificate of deposit portfolio was scheduled to mature within the next 12 months, including ~~$79.2~~$101.7 million of public unit certificates of deposit and ~~$46.7~~$27.8 million of commercial certificates of deposit. Based on our deposit retention experience and our current pricing strategy, we anticipate the majority of the maturing retail certificates of deposit will renew or transfer to other deposit products of the Bank at prevailing rates, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Due

to the nature of public unit certificates of deposit and commercial certificates of deposit, retention rates are not as predictable as for retail certificates of deposit.

While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and MBS and payments on short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, prepayments on loans and MBS, and calls of investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition, and are less predictable sources of funds. To the extent possible, the Bank manages the cash flows of its loan and deposit portfolios by the rates it offers customers. We anticipate we will continue to have sufficient funds, through the repayments and maturities of loans and securities, deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") regulations impose restrictions on savings institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account. Under FRB and OCC safe harbor regulations, savings institutions generally may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to earnings of the previous two calendar years and current year-to-date earnings (to the extent not previously distributed). A savings institution that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Company, that proposes to make a capital distribution must submit written notice to the OCC and FRB 30 days prior to such distribution. The OCC and FRB may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness or other concerns. Savings institutions that desire to make a larger capital distribution, are under special restrictions, or are not, or would not be, sufficiently capitalized following a proposed capital distribution must obtain regulatory non-objection prior to making such a distribution.

The long-term ability of the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders is based primarily upon the ability of the Bank to make capital distributions to the Company. So long as the Bank remains well capitalized after each capital distribution (as evidenced by maintaining a ~~Community Bank Leverage Ratio ("CBLR")~~CBLR greater than the required percentage, which is currently 9%9.0%), and operates in a safe and sound manner, it is management's belief that the OCC and FRB will continue to allow the Bank to distribute its earnings to the Company, although no assurance can be given in this regard.

Regulatory Capital

Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank per the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action ("PCA"). Qualifying institutions that elect to use the CBLR framework, such as the Bank and the Company, that maintain the required minimum leverage ratio of 9% will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the regulatory agencies' capital rules, and to have met the capital requirements for the well capitalized category under the agencies' PCA framework. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank's CBLR was ~~9.4%~~9.7% and the Company's CBLR was 10.6%, which exceeded the minimum requirements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

For a complete discussion of the Bank's asset and liability management policies, as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Bank's portfolios, see "Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The analysis presented in the tables below reflects the level of market risk at the Bank, including the cash the holding company has on deposit at the Bank.

The rates of interest the Bank earns on its assets and pays on its liabilities are generally established contractually for a period of time. Fluctuations in interest rates have a significant impact not only upon our net income, but also upon the cash flows and market values of our assets and liabilities. Our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Risk associated with changes in interest rates on the earnings of the Bank and the market value of its financial assets and liabilities is known as interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is our most significant market risk, and our ability to adapt to changes in interest rates is known as interest rate risk management.

On a weekly basis, management reviews deposit flows, loan demand, cash levels, and changes in several market rates to assess all pricing strategies. The Bank's pricing strategy for first mortgage loan products includes setting interest rates based on secondary market prices and competitor pricing for our local and correspondent lending markets. Pricing for commercial loans is generally based on competitor pricing and the credit risk of the borrower with consideration given to the overall relationship of the borrower. Generally, deposit pricing is based upon a survey of competitors in the Bank's market areas, and the need to attract funding and retain maturing deposits. The majority of our loans are fixed-rate products with maturities up to 30 years, while the majority of our retail deposits have stated maturities or repricing dates of less than two years.

The general objective of our interest rate risk management program is to determine and manage an appropriate level of interest rate risk while maximizing net interest income in a manner consistent with our policy to manage, to the extent practicable, the exposure of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The Board of Directors and Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") regularly review the Bank's interest rate risk exposure by forecasting the impact of hypothetical, alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and the market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE") at various dates. The MVPE is defined as the net of the present value of cash flows from existing assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments. The present values are determined based upon market conditions as of the date of the analysis, as well as in alternative interest rate environments providing potential changes in the MVPE under those alternative interest rate environments. Net interest income is projected in the same alternative interest rate environments with both a static balance sheet and one with management strategies considered. The MVPE and net interest income analyses are also conducted to estimate our sensitivity to rates for future time horizons based upon market conditions as of the date of the analysis. In addition to the interest rate environments presented below, management also reviews the impact of non-parallel rate shock scenarios on a quarterly basis. These scenarios consist of flattening and steepening the yield curve by changing short-term and long-term interest rates independent of each other, and simulating cash flows and determining valuations as a result of these hypothetical changes in interest rates to identify rate environments that pose the greatest risk to the Bank. This analysis helps management quantify the Bank's exposure to changes in the shape of the yield curve.

Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Gap Table. The following gap table summarizes the anticipated maturities or repricing periods of the Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities based on the information and assumptions set forth in the notes below. Cash flow projections for mortgage-related assets are calculated based in part on prepayment assumptions at current and projected interest rates. Prepayment projections are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and assumptions and, therefore, cannot be determined with a high degree of accuracy. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react differently to changes in market interest rates. Assumptions may not reflect how actual yields and costs respond to market interest rate changes. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment ~~and early withdrawal levels~~rates would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the gap table below. A positive gap ~~indicates~~generally means more cash flows from assets are expected to reprice than cash flows from liabilities and ~~would indicate,~~suggests in a rising rate environment, that earnings should increase. A negative gap ~~indicates~~generally means more cash flows from liabilities are expected to reprice than cash flows from assets and ~~would indicate,~~suggests, in a rising rate environment, that earnings should decrease.

(1)Adjustable-rate loans are included in the period in which the rate is next scheduled to adjust or in the period in which repayments are expected to occur, or prepayments are expected to be received, prior to their next rate adjustment, rather than in the period in which the loans are due. Fixed-rate loans are included in the periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid, based on scheduled amortization and prepayment assumptions. Balances are net of undisbursed amounts and deferred fees and exclude loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure.

(2)MBS reflect projected prepayments at amortized cost. ~~Investment~~All other securities are presented based on contractual maturities, term to call dates or pre-refunding dates as of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, at amortized cost.

(3)Although the Bank's checking, savings, and money market accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal, management considers a substantial amount of these accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities. The decay rates (the assumed rates at which the balances of existing accounts decline) used on these accounts is based on assumptions developed from our actual experiences with these accounts. If all of the Bank's checking, savings, and money market accounts had been assumed to be subject to repricing within one year, interest-bearing liabilities which were estimated to mature or reprice within one year would have exceeded interest-earning assets with comparable characteristics by ~~$4.17~~$3.65 billion, for a cumulative one-year gap of ~~(44.0)~~(36.2)% of total assets.

(4)Borrowings exclude deferred prepayment penalty costs. Included in this line item are $365.0 million of FHLB adjustable-rate advances tied to interest rate swaps. The repricing for these liabilities is projected to occur at the maturity date of each interest rate swap.

At ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank's gap between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities projected to reprice within one year was ~~$(1.33) billion,~~$(803.5) million, or ~~(14.0)~~(8.0)% of total assets, compared to ~~$(1.46)~~$(1.02) billion, or ~~(15.3)~~(10.3)% of total assets, at ~~March~~December 31, 2022. The change in the one-year gap amount was due primarily to a decrease in the amount of liability cash flows ~~projected~~coming due in one year at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to ~~March~~December 31, 2022 ~~specifically due to lower deposit balances. In addition,~~and an increase in the ~~Bank projected higher~~amount of asset cash flows ~~on mortgage-related assets at June 30, 2022 compared~~coming due for the same time periods. This was due primarily to March 31, 2022, despite higher interest rates. As interest rates rise, borrowers have less economic incentive to refinance their mortgages and agency debt issuers have less economic incentive or opportunity to exercise their call optionsa decrease in ~~order to issue new debt at lower interest rates, which would typically result in lower~~the amount of non-maturity deposits projected ~~cash flows on these assets. However, during~~by the ~~current quarter, the Bank upgraded its~~Bank's interest rate risk model ~~which resulted~~to mature within one year as of March 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, partially offset by an increase in ~~the third-party mortgage prepayment model projecting faster prepayment speeds for mortgage-related assets, even though~~

~~interest rates were higher at June 30, 2022. The prepayment speeds in the upgraded interest rate risk model are more reflective~~cash flows projected to be received on loans as of ~~the Bank's actual experience at current market interest rates.~~March 31, 2023.

The amount of interest-bearing liabilities expected to reprice in a given period is not typically significantly impacted by changes in interest rates, because the Bank's borrowings and certificate of deposit portfolios have contractual maturities and generally cannot be terminated early without a prepayment penalty.

If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank's one-year gap is projected to be ~~$(1.36) billion,~~$(862.4) million, or ~~(14.4)~~(8.6)% of total assets. The change in the gap compared to when there is no change in rates is due to lower anticipated net cash flows primarily ~~due to~~as a result of lower ~~repayments~~prepayments on mortgage-related assets in the higher

rate environment. This compares to a one-year gap of ~~$(1.54)~~$(1.05) billion, or ~~(16.2)~~(10.6)% of total assets, if interest rates were to have increased 200 basis points as of ~~March~~December 31, 2022.

Change in Net Interest Income. For each date presented in the following table, the estimated change in the Bank's net interest income is based on the indicated instantaneous, parallel and permanent change in interest rates. The change in each interest rate environment represents the difference between estimated net interest income in the 0 basis point interest rate environment ("base case," assumes the forward market and product interest rates implied by the yield curve are realized) and the estimated net interest income in each alternative interest rate environment (assumes market and product interest rates have a parallel shift in rates across all maturities by the indicated change in rates). Projected cash flows for each scenario are based upon varying prepayment assumptions to model likely customer behavior changes as market rates change. ~~At September 30, 2021, multiple yields along the yield curve were less than one percent, so the -100 basis points scenario was not applicable.~~ Estimations of net interest income used in preparing the table below were based upon the assumptions that the total composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities does not change materially and that any repricing of assets or liabilities occurs at anticipated product and market rates for the alternative rate environments as of the dates presented. The estimation of net interest income does not include any projected gains or losses related to the sale of loans or securities, or income derived from non-interest income sources, but does include the use of different prepayment assumptions in the alternative interest rate environments. It is important to consider that estimated changes in net interest income are for a cumulative four-quarter period. These do not reflect the earnings expectations of management.

The net interest income projection was ~~higher~~lower in the base case scenario at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to September 30, ~~2021~~2022 due to higher ~~income projections on the Bank's assets than~~interest expense projections on the Bank's liabilities ascompared to the increase in the interest income projections on the Bank's assets. This was primarily driven by a ~~result~~faster increase in the cost of liabilities during the first six months of fiscal year 2023 which was caused by an increase in certificates of deposit at higher ~~interest~~ rates, ~~at June~~an increase in the rates paid on our money market accounts, and an increase in the balance of higher-costing FHLB borrowings since September 30, 2022. ~~In the rising rate scenarios, fewer assets reprice to higher interest rates, resulting in a decrease in projected net interest income.~~ This was ~~not~~partially offset by higher projected income on loans receivable due to a higher balance and yield on the ~~case at~~portfolio compared to September ~~30, 2021, as interest rates were lower than June 30, 2022, resulting in more mortgage-related cash flows projected to reprice than at June~~ 30, 2022.

In the ~~decreasing~~rising and declining interest rate ~~scenario at June 30, 2022,~~scenarios, the variability of net interest income ~~projection remained relatively flat as~~projections is not significant. Generally, the increase in net interest income in the rising rate scenarios is due to the degree to which loan repayments that are projected to reprice upward is greater than the projected increase in ~~mortgage-related assets repricing~~rates on deposits in the next twelve months.

Change in MVPE. The following table sets forth the estimated change in the MVPE for each date presented based on the indicated instantaneous, parallel, and permanent change in interest rates. The change in each interest rate environment represents the difference between the MVPE in the base case (assumes the forward market interest rates implied by the yield curve are realized) and the MVPE in each alternative interest rate environment (assumes market interest rates have a parallel shift in rates). Projected cash flows for each scenario are based upon varying prepayment assumptions to model likely customer behavior as market rates change. ~~At September 30, 2021, multiple yields along the yield curve were less than one percent, so the -100 basis points scenario was not applicable.~~ The estimations of the MVPE used in preparing the table below were based upon the assumptions that the total composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities does not change, that any repricing of assets or liabilities occurs at current product or market rates for the alternative rate environments as of the dates presented, and that different prepayment rates were used in each alternative interest rate environment. The estimated MVPE results from the valuation of cash flows from financial assets and liabilities over the anticipated lives of each for each interest rate environment. The table below presents the effects of the changes in interest rates on our assets and liabilities as they mature, repay, or reprice, as shown by the change in the MVPE for alternative interest rates.

(1)Assumes an instantaneous, parallel, and permanent change in interest rates at all maturities.

The percentage change in the Bank's MVPE at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and September 30, ~~2021~~2022 was negative in all rising interest rate scenarios. The negative impact to the Bank's MVPE, ~~is greater~~as a percentage change, was slightly lower at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to September 30, ~~2021~~2022 due primarily to higher MVPE at March 31, 2023. The increase in the MVPE was due in part to lower long-term rates at March 31, 2023 which resulted in an increase in the ~~duration~~market value of the Bank's ~~mortgage-related assets at June 30, 2022~~loan portfolio. In addition, the increase in the balance of certificates of deposit and borrowings during the six-month period resulted in less of an increase in the market value of the Bank's deposits compared to ~~September 30, 2021. This was due~~the prior year-end. The offsetting impacts of these factors increased our MVPE in the base case and led to ~~higher~~less sensitivity to changes in rates.

The MVPE ratio continues to be an important measurement for management as we consider the changes in market rates, liquidity needs and portfolio balances. MVPE represents a long-term view of the interest ~~rates at June 30, 2022.~~ sensitivity of the Bank's balance sheet while our net interest income projections inform management of the short-term impacts of pricing decisions.

As interest rates increase, borrowers have less economic incentive to refinance their mortgages and agency debt issuers have less economic incentive or opportunity to exercise their call options in order to issue new debt at lower interest rates, resulting in lower projected cash flows on these assets. As interest rates increase in the rising interest rate scenarios, ~~repayments~~prepayments on mortgage-related assets are more likely to decrease and only be realized through significant changes in borrowers' lives such as divorce, death, job-related relocations, or other events as there is less economic incentive for borrowers to prepay their debt, resulting in an increase in the average life of mortgage-related assets. Similarly, call projections for the Bank's callable agency debentures decrease as interest rates rise, which results in cash flows related to these assets moving closer to the contractual maturity dates. The ~~higher~~longer expected average lives of these assets ~~relative to the assumptions in the base case interest rate environment,~~ increases the sensitivity of their market value to changes in interest rates. ~~In addition, as mortgage loans are refinanced or endorsed to lower interest rates, their average lives also increase as further prepayments are expected to be diminished.~~

In the increasing rate scenarios, the sensitivity reflects the negative impacts of rates on the value of the Bank's loan and securities portfolio more so than on the deposit and borrowing portfolio. In the decreasing interest rate ~~scenario at June 30, 2022,~~scenarios, the Bank's MVPE increased due to a larger increase in the market value of the Bank's ~~asset~~assets than the Bank's liabilities. This is because the Bank's mortgage-related assets continue to have a ~~higher~~longer duration in ~~this scenario~~these interest rate scenarios which results in greater sensitivity in market value as interest rates change.

The following table presents the weighted average yields/rates and WALs (in years), after applying prepayment, call assumptions, and decay rates for our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. Yields presented for interest-earning assets include the amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to the yield. The interest rate presented for term borrowings is the effective rate, which includes the impact of interest rate swaps and the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from FHLB advances previously prepaid. The WAL presented for term borrowings includes the effect of interest rate swaps.

In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, we believe it unlikely that such pending legal actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

On November 2, 2022, the Bank was served a putative class action lawsuit, captioned Jennifer Harding, et al. vs. Capitol Federal Savings Bank (Case No. 2022-CV-00598), filed in the Third Judicial District Court, Shawnee County, Kansas against the Bank, alleging the Bank improperly charged overdraft fees on (1) debit card transactions that were authorized for payment on sufficient funds but later settled against a negative account balance (commonly known as "authorize positive purportedly settle negative" or "APPSN" transactions) and (2) merchant re-presentments of previously rejected payment requests. The complaint asserts a breach of contract claim (including breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing) for each practice and seeks restitution for alleged improper fees, alleged actual damages, costs and disbursements, and injunction relief. On April 5, 2023, the court granted the Bank's motion to dismiss the complaint, with prejudice. This decision is still subject to appeal.
