By granting the concession, the Company expects to obtain more cash or other value from the debtor, or to increase the probability of receipt, than would be expected by not granting the concession. The concession may include, but is not limited to, reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, reduction of accrued interest, extension of the maturity date or reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt. A concession will be granted when, as a result of the restructuring, the Company does not expect to collect all amounts due, including interest at the original stated rate. A concession may also be granted if the debtor is not able to access funds elsewhere at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics as the restructured debt. The Company’s determination of whether a loan modification is a TDR considers the individual facts and circumstances surrounding each modification. Loans modified in a TDR may be retained on accrual status if the borrower has maintained a period of performance in which the borrower’s lending relationship was not greater than ninety days delinquent at the time of restructuring and the Company determines the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured. Loans modified in a TDR that are placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring will continue on nonaccrual status until the Company determines the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms of at least six consecutive months. TDRs on nonaccrual status are evaluated individually for purposes of calculating an allowance for loan losses while performing TDRs are evaluated collectively. The following table summarizes the Company’s recorded balance of TDRs at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. There was $101,000 of specific reserve included in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs at June 30, 2023. There was $161,000 of specific reserve included in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs at September 30, 2022.

There were no principal charge-offs as a result of loans previously designated as TDRs during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. There were principal charge-offs totaling $6,000 as a result of loans previously designated as TDRs during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2023. There were no principal charge-offs recorded as a result of TDRs during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2022. In the event that a TDR subsequently defaults, the Company evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance for loan losses may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying amount of the loan. During the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any TDRs that were modified within the previous twelve months and for which there was a payment default. SBA Loan Servicing Rights The Company originates loans to commercial customers under the SBA 7(a) program and other programs, and sells the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans with servicing rights retained. Loan servicing rights on originated SBA loans that have been sold are initially recorded at fair value. Capitalized SBA servicing rights are then amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Impairment of SBA servicing rights is assessed using the present value of estimated future cash flows. The aggregate fair value of SBA loan servicing rights approximates its carrying value. A valuation model employed by an independent third party calculates the present value of future cash flows and is used to estimate fair value at the date of sale and on a quarterly basis for impairment analysis purposes. Management periodically compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the SBA loan servicing rights include the discount rate and prepayment speed assumptions. For purposes of impairment, risk characteristics such as interest rate, loan type, term and investor type are used to stratify the SBA loan servicing rights. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The unpaid principal balance of SBA loans serviced for others was $223.2 million, $238.9 million and $247.5 million at June 30, 2023, September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees earned on SBA loans were $35,000 and $70,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees earned on SBA loans were $20,000 and $74,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Net servicing income (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans was $578,000 and $1.7 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Net servicing income (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans was $606,000 and $1.9 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Net servicing income and costs related to SBA loans are included in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. An analysis of SBA loan servicing rights for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 (In thousands) Balance, beginning of period $ 3,727 $ 4,447 $ 3,790 $ 4,447 Servicing rights capitalized 147 112 606 772 Amortization (170) (219) (560) (771) Direct write-offs (330) (103) (641) (217) Change in valuation allowance — (187) 179 (181) Balance, end of period $ 3,374 $ 4,050 $ 3,374 $ 4,050 There was no valuation allowance related to SBA loan servicing rights at June 30, 2023. A valuation allowance of $179,000 related to SBA loan servicing rights at September 30, 2022. Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSRs”) The Company originates residential mortgage loans for sale in the secondary market and retains servicing for certain of these loans when they are sold. MSRs retained for originated loans that have been sold are accounted for at fair value. The fair value of MSRs are determined using the present value of estimated expected net servicing income using assumptions about expected mortgage loan prepayment rates, discount rate, servicing costs, and other economic factors, which are determined based on current market conditions. Changes in these underlying assumptions could cause the fair value of MSRs to change significantly in the future. Changes in fair value of MSRs are recorded in mortgage banking income in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. MSRs are subject to changes in value from, among other things, changes in interest rates, prepayments of the underlying loans and changes in the credit quality of the underlying loans. A valuation model employed by an independent third party calculates the present value of future cash flows and is used to value the MSRs on a monthly basis. Management periodically compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. Key assumptions, which are significant unobservable inputs, used to estimate the fair value of the MSRs at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were as follows: Range of Assumption Range of Assumption (Weighted Average) (Weighted Average) Assumption June 30, 2023 September 30, 2022 Discount rate 9.50% to 14.50% (9.52%) 9.50% to 14.50% (9.51%) Prepayment rate 5.00% to 79.91% (6.89%) 6.01% to 74.89% (6.63%) The unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage loans serviced for others was $4.75 billion and $4.88 billion at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Custodial escrow balances maintained in connection with the foregoing loan servicing and other liabilities were $41.6 million and $46.0 million at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Contractually specified servicing fees (net of direct servicing expenses), late fees and other ancillary fees related to residential mortgage loans serviced for others were $2.4 million and $7.2 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Contractually specified servicing fees (net of direct servicing expenses), late fees and other ancillary fees related to residential mortgage loans serviced for others were $2.2 million and $6.6 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Contractually specified servicing fees are included in mortgage banking income in the consolidated statements of income. Changes in the carrying value of MSRs accounted for at fair value for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 (In thousands) Fair value, beginning of period $ 61,194 $ 63,660 $ 63,263 $ 49,579 Servicing rights capitalized 764 2,731 1,202 10,581 Changes in fair value related to: Loan repayments (1,073) (1,695) (3,137) (6,117) Change in valuation model inputs or assumptions (236) 143 (679) 10,796 Balance, end of period $ 60,649 $ 64,839 $ 60,6 |
