Capitol Federal® Financial, Inc. Reports Fiscal Year 2018 Results

PR Newswire

TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Capitol Federal® Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFFN) (the "Company"), the parent company of Capitol Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), announced results today for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.  Detailed results will be available in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on or about November 29, 2018 and posted on our website, http://ir.capfed.comFor best viewing results, please view this release in Portable Document Format (PDF) on our website.

Highlights for the fourth quarter include:

  • closed on the acquisition of Capital City Bancshares, Inc. ("CCB");
  • net income of $21.4 million;
  • basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.16;
  • net interest margin of 2.24% (2.26% excluding the effects of the leverage strategy); and
  • paid dividends of $11.4 million, or $0.085 per share.

Highlights for the fiscal year include:

  • net income of $98.9 million;
  • basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.73;
  • net interest margin of 1.95% (2.24% excluding the effects of the leverage strategy);
  • paid dividends of $118.3 million, or $0.88 per share; and
  • declared a fiscal year 2018 cash true-up dividend of $0.39 per share, payable on November 30, 2018.

On August 31, 2018, the Company completed its acquisition of CCB, the parent company of Capital City Bank, a Kansas state chartered bank headquartered in Topeka, KS.  Immediately upon closing the merger, Capital City Bank merged with and into the Bank.  As a result of the merger, the Bank is entering the commercial banking business through the origination of commercial lending products and offering of commercial deposit services, and began offering trust and brokerage services.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized approximately $375 thousand of acquisition-related expenses and recognized approximately $875 thousand of such expenses during fiscal year 2018.  The Company's fiscal year 2018 results include one month of CCB operating results.  Integration of information systems is anticipated to be completed early in the second calendar quarter of 2019.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Fiscal Years Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

The Company recognized net income of $98.9 million, or $0.73 per share, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 compared to net income of $84.1 million, or $0.63 per share, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.  The increase in net income was due primarily to a decrease in income tax expense.  During the current fiscal year, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted which reduced the federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018.  In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company revalued its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 22, 2017 to account for the lower corporate income tax rate.  The revaluation of the Company's deferred income tax assets and liabilities reduced income tax expense by $7.5 million.  The effective tax rate for the current fiscal year was 20.2%.  Management estimates the effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2019 will be approximately 22%.

The net interest margin increased 16 basis points, from 1.79% for the prior fiscal year to 1.95% for the current fiscal year.  Excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have increased nine basis points, from 2.15% for the prior fiscal year to 2.24% for the current fiscal year.  The increase in the net interest margin was due mainly to an increase in interest-earning asset yields.

Interest and Dividend Income
The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets increased 29 basis points, from 2.87% for the prior fiscal year to 3.16% for the current fiscal year, while the average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $720.1 million from the prior fiscal year.  Absent the impact of the leverage strategy, the weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets would have increased 12 basis points, from 3.27% for the prior fiscal year to 3.39% for the current fiscal year, while the average balance of interest-earning assets would have decreased $93.0 million.  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 increase in interest income on loans receivable was due to a six basis point increase in the weighted average yield on the portfolio to 3.60% for the current fiscal year, as well as an $86.2 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio.  The increase in the weighted average yield was due primarily to adjustable-rate loans repricing to higher market rates, along with the origination and purchase of new loans at higher market rates.

The table above includes interest income on cash and cash equivalents associated and not associated with the leverage strategy.  Interest income on cash and cash equivalents not related to the leverage strategy increased $1.4 million from the prior fiscal year due to a 71 basis point increase in the weighted average yield.  Interest income on cash associated with the leverage strategy increased $2.7 million from the prior fiscal year due to a 61 basis point increase in the weighted average yield.  In both cases, the increase in the weighted average yield was related to cash balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City (the "FRB of Kansas City").

The decrease in interest income on the MBS portfolio was due to a $127.2 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio, partially offset by a 16 basis point increase in the weighted average yield on the portfolio to 2.35% for the current fiscal year.  Cash flows not reinvested were used primarily to fund loan growth and pay off certain maturing term borrowings.  The increase in the weighted average yield was due primarily to adjustable-rate MBS repricing to higher market rates, as well as a decrease in the impact of net premium amortization.  Net premium amortization of $3.0 million during the current fiscal year decreased the weighted average yield on the portfolio by 31 basis points.  During the prior fiscal year, $4.2 million of net premiums were amortized which decreased the weighted average yield on the portfolio by 39 basis points.  As of September 30, 2018, the remaining net balance of premiums on our portfolio of MBS was $3.4 million.

The decrease in dividend income on FHLB stock was due mainly to the leverage strategy being in place less often during the current fiscal year, as the strategy was not always profitable.  See additional discussion regarding the leverage strategy in the Financial Condition section below.

Interest Expense
The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities increased 15 basis points, from 1.21% for the prior fiscal year to 1.36% for the current fiscal year, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $693.7 million from the prior fiscal year.  Absent the impact of the leverage strategy, the weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities would have increased four basis points, from 1.29% for the prior fiscal year to 1.33% for the current fiscal year, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities would have decreased $68.6 million.  The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

The table above includes interest expense on FHLB borrowings associated and not associated with the leverage strategy.  Interest expense on FHLB borrowings not related to the leverage strategy decreased $5.4 million from the prior fiscal year due to a 17 basis point decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the portfolio, to 2.07% for the current fiscal year, and an $84.3 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio.  The decrease in the weighted average rate paid was due to certain maturing advances being replaced at lower effective interest rates.  Interest expense on FHLB borrowings associated with the leverage strategy increased $3.6 million from the prior fiscal year due to a 66 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid as a result of an increase in interest rates between periods, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance due the strategy not being in place as often during the current fiscal year.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to a 17 basis point increase in the weighted average rate, to 0.99% for the current fiscal year.  The increase in the weighted average rate was primarily related to the certificate of deposit portfolio, which increased 24 basis points to 1.62% for the current fiscal year.  The weighted average rate paid on wholesale certificates increased 66 basis points, to 1.57% for the current fiscal year.

The decrease in interest expense on other borrowings was due mainly to the maturity of a $100.0 million repurchase agreement, which was not replaced, during the current fiscal year.

Provision for Credit Losses
The Bank did not record a provision for credit losses during the current fiscal year or the prior fiscal year.  Based on management's assessment of the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") formula analysis model and several other factors, it was determined that no provision for credit losses was necessary.  Net loan recoveries were $65 thousand during the current fiscal year compared to net charge-offs of $142 thousand in the prior fiscal year.  At September 30, 2018, loans 30 to 89 days delinquent were 0.25% of total loans and loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure were 0.12% of total loans.  At September 30, 2017, loans 30 to 89 days delinquent were 0.26% of total loans and loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure were 0.13% of total loans.

The increase in deposit service fees was due mainly to increases in debit card income due to higher transaction volume in the current year and a reduction in waived fees as customers and vendors more fully utilize the chip card technology.  The decrease in income from BOLI was due mainly to a one-time adjustment, in the current fiscal year, to the benchmark interest rate associated with one of the policies.  The decrease in other non-interest income was due mainly to a loss on the sale of loans during the current fiscal year compared to a gain on the sale of loans during the prior fiscal year as management tested loan sale processes for liquidity purposes.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was due primarily to an increase in payroll expense, as well as $1.0 million related to the 2018 Tax Savings Bonus Plan and approximately $730 thousand related to the addition of CCB employees and other payroll-related costs associated with the acquisition.  The 2018 Tax Savings Bonus plan is a one-time bonus award to qualifying non-officer employees.  Management anticipates salaries and employee benefits associated with CCB employees, based on current staffing levels, will be approximately $5.6 million in fiscal year 2019.  The increase in information technology and related expense was due mainly to a change in the presentation of certain information technology professional and consulting expenses beginning in fiscal year 2018.  Information technology professional and consulting expenses are now being reported in information technology and related expenses rather than regulatory and outside services.  Additionally, these expenses increased compared to the prior year due primarily to ongoing enhancements to the Bank's online banking services, along with increases in information technology expenses related to software licensing and depreciation.  The change in the presentation of expenses resulted in a decrease in the amount of regulatory and outside services expenses for the current fiscal year, but this was offset by approximately $875 thousand of acquisition-related expenses.  The increase in other non-interest expense was due primarily to $242 thousand of expense related to the amortization of deposit intangibles associated with the CCB acquisition and an increase in other real estate owned ("OREO") operations expense.  Management anticipates that the deposit intangible amortization expense will be approximately $2.4 million in fiscal year 2019.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 43.89% for the current fiscal year compared to 41.21% for the prior fiscal year.  The change in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to higher non-interest expense in the current fiscal year compared to the prior fiscal year.  The efficiency ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income.  A lower value indicates that the financial institution is generating revenue with a proportionally lower level of expense.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $25.0 million for the current fiscal year compared to $43.8 million for the prior fiscal year.  The effective tax rate was 20.2% for the current fiscal year compared to 34.2% for the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was due mainly to the Tax Act being signed into law in December 2017.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018

For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the Company recognized net income of $21.4 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to net income of $22.4 million, or $0.17 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.  The decrease in net income was due primarily to an increase in non-interest expense, mainly related to acquisition-related expenses.

Net interest income increased $644 thousand, or 1.3%, from the prior quarter to $50.1 million for the current quarter.  The net interest margin increased 32 basis points from 1.92% for the prior quarter to 2.24% for the current quarter.  When the leverage strategy 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.  The leverage strategy was suspended at certain times during the current quarter due to the negative interest rate spreads between the related FHLB borrowings and cash held at the FRB of Kansas City making the transaction unprofitable.  Excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have increased two basis points from 2.24% for the prior quarter to 2.26% for the current quarter.  The increase in net interest margin excluding the effects of the leverage strategy was due mainly to an increase in interest-earning asset yields.

Interest and Dividend Income
The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets for the current quarter increased 26 basis points from the prior quarter, to 3.46%, while the average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $1.35 billion between the two periods.  Absent the impact of the leverage strategy, the weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets would have increased seven basis points from the prior quarter, to 3.47%, and the average balance of interest-earning assets would have increased $82.8 million.  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 increase in interest income on loans receivable was due to a $97.2 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio, as well as a six basis point increase in the weighted average yield on the portfolio to 3.65% for the current quarter.  The increase in the average balance was also due primarily to the acquisition of CCB.  The increase in the weighted average yield was due to the acquisition of CCB and its portfolio of higher yielding commercial loans, along with the origination and purchase of new loans at higher market rates and adjustable-rate loans repricing to higher market rates.

The table above includes interest income on cash and cash equivalents associated and not associated with the leverage strategy.  Interest income on cash and cash equivalents not related to the leverage strategy increased $158 thousand from the prior quarter due to a 19 basis point increase in the weighted average yield, which was related to balances held at the FRB of Kansas City.  Interest income on cash associated with the leverage strategy decreased $6.2 million from the prior quarter and dividend income on FHLB stock associated with the leverage strategy decreased $1.1 million from the prior quarter due to the leverage strategy being in place for fewer days in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter.

Interest Expense
The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities for the current quarter decreased five basis points from the prior quarter, to 1.39%, and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $1.34 billion between the two periods.  Absent the impact of the leverage strategy, the weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities for the current quarter would have increased four basis points from the prior quarter, to 1.38%, and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities would have increased $83.8 million.  The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to a five basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid, to 1.07% for the current quarter.  The increase in the weighted average rate paid was due primarily to increases in the retail certificate of deposit portfolio rate and wholesale certificate of deposit portfolio rate, which increased seven basis points and 17 basis points, respectively.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was due mainly to the addition of CCB employees and other payroll-related costs associated with the acquisition.  The increase in information technology and related expense was due primarily to ongoing enhancements to the Bank's online banking services, as well as costs related to the integration of CCB operations.  The increase in occupancy, net was due largely to expenses related to the properties acquired from CCB.  The increase in other non-interest expense was due primarily to amortization of deposit intangibles associated with the acquisition of CCB, along with an increase in OREO operations expense.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 47.87% for the current quarter compared to 44.68% for the prior quarter.  The change in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to higher non-interest expense in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter.

Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $7.8 million for the current quarter, compared to $8.0 million for the prior quarter.  The decrease was due to lower pretax income in the current quarter.  The effective tax rate was 26.6% for the current quarter compared to 26.3% for the prior quarter.

Financial Condition as of September 30, 2018

Total assets were $9.45 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to $9.19 billion at September 30, 2017.  The $256.6 million increase was due primarily to an increase in loans receivable due to the acquisition of CCB.

The loans receivable portfolio, net, totaled $7.51 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to $7.20 billion at September 30, 2017.  The Bank acquired loans with a fair value of $299.7 million from CCB.  During the current fiscal year, the Bank originated and refinanced $633.4 million of loans with a weighted average rate of 4.17% and purchased $391.6 million of one- to four-family loans from correspondent lenders with a weighted average rate of 3.80%.  The Bank also entered into participations of $135.8 million of commercial real estate loans with a weighted average rate of 4.22%, of which $108.4 million had not yet been funded as of September 30, 2018.

The Bank is continuing to manage the size and mix of its loan portfolio, as it manages its liquidity levels, as measured by the ratio of securities and cash to total assets, to a target level of approximately 15%.  The ratio of securities and cash to total assets was 15.5% at September 30, 2018.  The size of the loan portfolio has been managed by controlling correspondent loan volume primarily through the rates offered to correspondent lenders.  Management intends to continue to manage the size of the loan portfolio by utilizing cash flows from the correspondent loan portfolio to fund commercial loan growth.  Given the balance of total assets, it is unlikely that loan growth will substantially increase in the current environment.  Generally, over the past few years, cash flows from the securities portfolio have been used primarily to purchase loans and in part to pay down FHLB advances.  By moving cash from lower yielding assets to higher yielding assets and repaying higher costing liabilities, we have been able to maintain our net interest margin.  In addition to the repayment of securities, the Bank has emphasized growth in the deposit portfolio in part to pay down term borrowings.  In the long run, management considers a 10% ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets at the Bank an appropriate level of capital.  At September 30, 2018, this ratio was 12.9%.

The Bank continued, at times, to utilize a leverage strategy to increase earnings in fiscal year 2018.  The leverage strategy during the current fiscal year involved borrowing up to $2.10 billion either on the Bank's FHLB line of credit or by entering into short-term FHLB advances, depending on the rates offered by FHLB.  The borrowings were repaid prior to each quarter end, or earlier if the strategy was suspended.  The proceeds from the borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings which yielded 7.3% during the current quarter and 6.7% during the current fiscal year, 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 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 $8 thousand during the current quarter, compared to $212 thousand during the quarter ending June 30, 2018.  Net income attributable to the leverage strategy was $1.7 million for the current fiscal year, compared to $2.8 million for the prior fiscal year.  The decrease between quarters and years was due mainly to the suspension of the strategy at certain times during the last half of the current fiscal year due to the large negative interest rate spread, which resulted in the strategy not being profitable.  Management continues to monitor the net interest rate spread and overall profitability of the strategy.  It is expected that the strategy will be reimplemented if it reaches a position that is profitable.

Total liabilities were $8.06 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to $7.82 billion at September 30, 2017.  The $233.3 million increase was due mainly to an increase in deposits upon completion of the acquisition of CCB.  The Bank acquired deposits totaling $352.5 million from CCB.

Stockholders' equity was $1.39 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to $1.37 billion at September 30, 2017.  The $23.3 million increase was due primarily to net income of $98.9 million, along with the issuance of 3.0 million shares, or $39.1 million, related to the acquisition of CCB, partially offset by the payment of $118.3 million in cash dividends.  The cash dividends paid during the current fiscal year totaled $0.88 per share and consisted of a $0.29 per share cash true-up dividend related to fiscal year 2017 earnings per the Company's dividend policy, a $0.25 per share True Blue Capitol dividend, and four regular quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.34 per share.

On October 17, 2018, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $11.7 million, payable on November 16, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 2, 2018.  On October 26, 2018, the Company announced a fiscal year 2018 cash true-up dividend of $0.39 per share, or approximately $53.7 million, related to fiscal year 2018 earnings.  The $0.39 per share cash true-up dividend was determined by taking the difference between total earnings for fiscal year 2018 and total regular quarterly cash dividends paid during fiscal year 2018, divided by the number of shares outstanding as of October 22, 2018.  The cash true-up dividend is payable on November 30, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 16, 2018, and is the result of the Board of Directors' commitment to distribute to stockholders 100% of the annual earnings of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. for fiscal year 2018.

At September 30, 2018, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $137.7 million on deposit at the Bank.  For fiscal year 2019, it is the intent of the Board of Directors and management to continue the payout of 100% of the Company's earnings to its stockholders.  Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, and the amount of cash at the holding company.

In October 2015, the Company announced a stock repurchase plan for up to $70.0 million of common stock.  The repurchase plan does not have an expiration date.  The Company has not repurchased any shares under the repurchase plan through the date of this release.

One- to Four-Family Loans:  The following table presents, for our portfolio of one- to four-family loans, the amount, percent of total, weighted average credit score, weighted average loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio, and average balance per loan as of the dates presented.  Credit scores are updated at least semiannually, with the latest update in September 2018, from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency.  The LTV ratios were based on the current loan balance and either the lesser of the purchase price or original appraisal, or the most recent Bank appraisal, if available.  In most cases, the most recent appraisal was obtained at the time of origination.

One- to Four-Family Loan Commitments - The following table summarizes our one- to four-family loan origination and refinance commitments and one- to four-family correspondent loan purchase commitments as of September 30, 2018, along with associated weighted average rates.  Loan commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a rate lock fee.  It is expected that some of the loan commitments will expire unfunded, so the amounts reflected in the table below are not necessarily indicative of future cash needs.

Commercial Loans:  During the current fiscal year, the Bank entered into commercial real estate loan participations totaling $135.8 million, which included $129.8 million of commercial real estate construction loans.  The majority of the $129.8 million of commercial real estate construction loans had not yet been funded as of September 30, 2018.

The following table presents the Bank's commercial real estate loans and loan commitments by industry classification, as defined by the North American Industry Classification System, as of September 30, 2018.  Based on the terms of the construction loans as of September 30, 2018, of the $165.6 million of undisbursed amounts in the table, which does not include outstanding commitments, $35.2 million is projected to be disbursed by December 31, 2018, and an additional $92.2 million is projected to be disbursed by September 30, 2019.  It is possible that not all of the funds will be disbursed due to the nature of the funding of construction projects.  Included in the gross loan amounts in the table, which does not include outstanding commitments, are fixed-rate loans totaling $415.5 million at a weighted average rate of 4.20% and adjustable-rate loans totaling $257.8 million at a weighted average rate of 4.80%.  The weighted average rate of fixed-rate loans is lower than that of adjustable-rate loans due primarily to the majority of the fixed-rate loans in the portfolio at September 30, 2018 having shorter terms to maturity.  Additionally, the credit risk for most of the Bank's commercial real estate borrowing relationships is mitigated due to the amount of equity injected into the projects, strong debt service coverage ratios, and the liquidity, personal cash flow and net worth of the guarantors.  Several of these borrowing relationships have a preference for fixed-rate loans and the market interest rates are typically lower for these types of borrowers.

Represents adjustable-rate FHLB advances for which the Bank has entered into interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows associated with the advances.  The effective rate and WAM presented include the effect of the interest rate swaps.

Average Rates and Lives

At September 30, 2018, the Bank's gap between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities projected to reprice within one year was $(14.9) million, or (0.16)% of total assets.  If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of September 30, 2018, the Bank's one-year gap is projected to be $(394.8) million, or (4.18)% of total assets.  At September 30, 2018, in the base case, projected net interest income was $200.2 million and the market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE") was $1.44 billion. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of September 30, 2018, projected net interest income totals $190.9 million and MVPE totals $1.09 billion.

The following table presents the weighted average yields/rates and WALs (in years), after applying prepayment, call assumptions, and decay rates for our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as of September 30, 2018.  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.  The maturity and repricing terms presented for one- to four-family loans represent the contractual terms of the loan.

Average Balance Sheets

The following table presents the average balances of our assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity, and the related weighted average yields and rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated (annualized for the three month periods) and the weighted average yield/rate on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at September 30, 2018, as well as selected performance ratios and other information as of the dates and for the periods shown.  At September 30, 2018, the leverage strategy was not in place, so the yields/rates presented at September 30, 2018 in the tables below do not reflect the effects of the leverage strategy.  Weighted average yields are derived by dividing income (annualized for the three month periods) by the average balance of the related assets, and weighted average rates are derived by dividing expense (annualized for the three month periods) by the average balance of the related liabilities, for the periods shown.  Average outstanding balances are derived from average daily balances.  The weighted average yields and rates include amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts, which are considered adjustments to yields/rates.  Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

(1)

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

(2)

MBS and investment securities classified as AFS are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums or discounts.

(3)

The average balance of investment securities includes an average balance of nontaxable securities of $24.9 million and $30.7 million for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $23.5 million and $23.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

(4)

The average balance of cash and cash equivalents includes an average balance of cash related to the leverage strategy of $1.33 billion and $1.93 billion for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $65.4 million and $1.43 billion for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively.

(5)

Included in this line, for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, are FHLB borrowings related to the leverage strategy with an average outstanding amount of $1.39 billion and $2.02 billion, respectively, interest paid of $22.1 million and $18.5 million, respectively, at a rate of 1.57% and 0.91%, respectively, and FHLB borrowings not related to the leverage strategy with an average outstanding amount of $2.17 billion and $2.25 billion, respectively, interest paid of $45.0 million and $50.3 million, respectively, at a rate of 2.07% and 2.24%, respectively.  Included in this line, for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, are FHLB borrowings related to the leverage strategy with an average outstanding amount of $68.5 million and $1.50 billion, respectively, interest paid of $369 thousand and $7.3 million, respectively, at a rate of 2.11% and 1.92%, respectively, and FHLB borrowings not related to the leverage strategy with an average outstanding amount of $2.18 billion and $2.17 billion, respectively, interest paid of $11.6 million and $11.2 million, respectively, at a rate of 2.10% and 2.06%, respectively.  The FHLB advance amounts and rates included in this line include the effect of interest rate swaps and are net of deferred prepayment penalties.

(6)

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

(7)

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

(8)

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.
