**TFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES**

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Dollars in thousands unless otherwise indicated)**

    

**1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION**

TFS Financial Corporation, a federally chartered stock holding company, conducts its principal activities through its wholly owned subsidiaries. The principal line of business of the Company is retail consumer banking, including mortgage lending, deposit gathering, and other financial services. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 80.9% of the Company's outstanding shares were owned by the federally chartered mutual holding company, Third Federal Savings, MHC. The thrift subsidiary of TFS Financial Corporation is Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland.

The accounting and financial reporting policies followed by the Company conform in all material respects to U.S. GAAP and to general practices in the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for credit losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and the determination of pension obligations are particularly subject to change.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company at June 30, 2025, and its consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are the only adjustments reflected in the unaudited interim financial statements.

In accordance with SEC Regulation S-X for interim financial information, these financial statements do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required for complete audited financial statements. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, contains audited consolidated financial statements and related notes, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, or for any other period.

Per ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*, an entity is required to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Three of the Company's revenue streams within scope of Topic 606 are the sales of REO, interchange income, and deposit account and other transaction-based service fee income. Those streams are not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements and therefore quantitative information regarding these streams is not disclosed.

**2. EARNINGS PER SHARE**

Basic earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is the amount of earnings available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period adjusted to include the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. For purposes of computing earnings per share amounts, outstanding shares include shares held by the public, shares held by the ESOP that have been allocated to participants or committed to be released for allocation to participants, and the 227,119,132 shares held by Third Federal Savings, MHC. For purposes of computing dilutive earnings per share, stock options and restricted and performance share units with a dilutive impact are added to the outstanding shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation. Unvested shares awarded pursuant to the Company's restricted stock 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. Performance share units, determined to be contingently issuable and not participating securities, are excluded from the calculation of basic EPS. At June 30, 2025 and 2024, the ESOP held 1,950,026 and 2,383,366 shares, respectively, that were neither allocated to participants nor committed to be released to participants.

At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, investment securities included $50,111 and $68,932, respectively, of U.S. government obligations pledged as collateral on our open swap positions to meet margin requirements established by the clearing organization. Accrued interest on investment securities is $1,959 and $2,399 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and is reported in accrued interest receivable on the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION*.

The following is a summary of our securities portfolio by the period remaining until contractual maturity and by weighted average yield at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. Maturities are based on the final contractual payment dates, and do not reflect the impact of prepayments or early redemptions that may occur. Weighted average yields are not presented on a tax-equivalent basis and are calculated by multiplying each carry value by its yield and dividing the sum of these results by the total carry values. We did not hold any tax-exempt securities at June 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024.

The unrealized losses on investment securities were attributable to an increase in market interest rates. The investment portfolio is comprised entirely of securities issued by U.S. government entities and agencies, which supports an expectation of no credit loss estimates since principal and interest payments due on these securities carry the full faith and credit guaranty of the U.S. government. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department has established financing agreements to ensure Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac meet their obligations to holders of mortgage-backed securities that they have issued or guaranteed.

Since the decline in value is primarily attributable to an increase in market interest rates and not credit quality deterioration, and because there is no intent to sell the securities and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses on investment securities as of June 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024.

(1) At and for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, balances of and activity related to home equity lines of credit and home equity loans are reported as separate line items. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Loans held for investment are carried at amortized cost, which includes outstanding principal balance adjusted for any unamortized premiums or discounts, net of deferred fees and expenses and any applicable loans-in-process. Accrued interest is $58,461 and $56,982 as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and is reported in accrued interest receivable on the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION.*

A large concentration of the Company's lending is in Ohio and Florida. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the percentage of aggregate Residential Core, Residential Home Today and Construction loans secured by properties in Ohio were 59% and 58%, respectively, and the percentage of those loans secured by properties in Florida was 17% at both dates. As of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, home equity lines of credit were concentrated in Ohio (22% and 23%, respectively), Florida (22% at both dates), and California (17% and 16%, respectively), and home equity loans were concentrated in Ohio (24% and 26%, respectively), Florida (23% and 25%, respectively), and California (18% and 19%, respectively).

Residential Core mortgage loans represent the largest portion of the residential real estate portfolio. The Company believes overall credit risk is low based on the nature, composition, collateral, products, lien position and historical performance of the portfolio. The portfolio does not include loan types or structures that have experienced severe performance problems at other financial institutions (sub-prime, no documentation or pay-option adjustable-rate mortgages). The portfolio contains "Smart Rate" adjustable-rate mortgage loans whereby the interest rate is locked initially for three or five years then resets annually, subject to periodic rate adjustments caps and various re-lock options available to the borrower. Although the borrower is qualified for its loan at a higher rate than the initial rate offered, the adjustable-rate feature may impact a borrower's ability to afford the higher payments upon rate reset during periods of rising interest rates while this repayment risk may be reduced in a declining or low rate environment. With limited historical loss experience compared to other types of loans in the portfolio, judgment is required by management in assessing the allowance required on adjustable-rate mortgage loans. The principal amount of adjustable-rate mortgage loans included in the Residential Core portfolio was $4,056,491 and $4,379,132 at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Home Today was an affordable housing program targeted to benefit low- and moderate-income home buyers. Most loans under the program were originated prior to 2009. No new loans were originated under the Home Today program after 2016. Home Today loans have greater credit risk than traditional residential real estate mortgage loans.

The Company originates construction loans to individuals for the construction of their personal single-family residence by a qualified builder (construction/permanent loans). The Company's construction/permanent loans generally provide for disbursements to the builder or sub-contractors during the construction phase as work progresses. During the construction phase, the borrower only pays interest on the drawn balance. Upon completion of construction, the loan converts to a permanent amortizing loan without the expense of a second closing. The Company offers construction/permanent loans with fixed or adjustable-rates, and a current maximum loan-to-completed-appraised value ratio of 85%.

Other loans are comprised of loans secured by certificate of deposit accounts, which are fully secured and recoverable in the event of non-payment, and forgivable down payment assistance loans, which are unsecured loans used as down payment assistance to borrowers qualified through partner housing agencies. The Company records a liability for the down payment assistance loans which are forgiven in equal increments over a pre-determined term, subject to residency requirements.

Loans held for sale include loans originated or acquired with the intent to sell which are generally priced in alignment with secondary market pricing and may be subject to loan level pricing adjustments. Additionally, loans originated or acquired for the held for investment portfolio may later be identified for sale and transferred to the held for sale portfolio, which may include loans originated or acquired within the parameters of programs established by Fannie Mae. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, reclassifications to the held for sale portfolio included loans that were sold during the period, including those in contracts pending settlement at the end of the period, and loans originated for the held for investment portfolio that were later identified for sale. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, mortgage loans held for sale totaled $30,977 and $17,775, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the principal balance of loans sold, according to trade date, was $63,372 and $210,562 (including loans in contracts pending settlement) compared to $69,420 and $190,743 (including loans in contracts pending settlement) during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, the amortized cost of loans originated as held for sale that were subsequently transferred to the held for investment portfolio was $0 and $1,327, respectively, compared to $771 during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Loans are placed in non-accrual status when they are contractually 90 days or more past due. The number of days past due is determined by the number of scheduled payments that remain unpaid, assuming a period of 30 days between each scheduled payment. Loans with a partial charge-off are placed in non-accrual and will remain in non-accrual status until, at a minimum, the loss is recovered. Loans modified that were in non-accrual status prior to modification and loans with forbearance plans that were subsequently modified, are reported in non-accrual status for a minimum of six months after modification. Loans modified with a high debt-to-income ratio, per the Company's modification policy, at the time of modification are placed in non-accrual status for a minimum of 12 months. Additionally, home equity loans and lines of credit where the customer has a severely delinquent first mortgage loan (greater than 90 days past due) and loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status where all borrowers have filed, and not reaffirmed or been dismissed, are placed in non-accrual status.

The amortized cost of loan receivables in non-accrual status is summarized in the following table. Non-accrual with no ACL describes non-accrual loans which have no quantitative allowance, primarily because they have already been subject to collateral review and any required charge-offs have been taken, but may be included in consideration of qualitative allowance factors. There are no loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing at June 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024.

At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the amortized cost in non-accrual loans includes $21,468 and $19,704, respectively, which are performing according to the terms of their agreement, of which $13,914 and $11,532, respectively, are loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status, primarily where all borrowers have filed, and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, real estate loans include $10,759 and $10,527, respectively, of loans that were in the process of foreclosure.

Interest on loans in accrual status is recognized in interest income as it accrues on a daily basis. Accrued interest on loans in non-accrual status is written off by a charge to interest income and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received. The Company has elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable amounts since amounts are written off timely. Cash payments on loans in non-accrual status are applied to the oldest scheduled, unpaid payment first. The amount of interest income recognized on non-accrual loans was $278 and $757 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, and $183 and $507 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Cash payments on loans with a partial charge-off are applied fully to principal, then to recovery of the charged off amount prior to interest income being recognized, except cash payments may be applied to interest capitalized in a modification when collection of remaining amounts due is considered probable. A non-accrual loan is generally returned to accrual status when contractual payments are less than 90 days past due. However, a loan may remain in non-accrual status when collectability is uncertain, such as a modification that has not met minimum payment requirements, a loan with a partial charge-off, a home equity loan or line of credit with a delinquent first mortgage greater than 90 days past due, or a loan in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status where all borrowers have filed, and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed.

<u>ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES</u>

The allowance for credit losses represents the estimate of lifetime losses in the loan portfolio and unfunded loan commitments. The allowance is estimated at each reporting date using relevant available information relating to past events, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company utilizes loan level regression models with forecasted economic data to derive the probability of default and loss given default factors. These factors are used to calculate the loan level credit loss over a 24-month period with an immediate reversion to historical mean loss rates for the remaining life of the loans.

Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Qualitative adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency status or likely recovery of previous loan charge-offs. Qualitative adjustments for expected changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values or other relevant factors, are recognized when forecasted economic data used in the model differs from management's view or contains a significant level of uncertainty. Identifiable model limitations may also lead to qualitative adjustments, such as those made to reflect the expected recovery of loan amounts previously charged-off, beyond what the model is able to project. The qualitative adjustments resulted in a negative ending balance on the allowance for credit losses for the Home Today portfolio, where recoveries are expected to exceed charge-offs over the remaining life of that portfolio. The net qualitative adjustment at June 30, 2025, was a reduction to the allowance for credit losses of $3,382, compared to a reduction of $5,519 at September 30, 2024. Qualitative adjustments are evaluated quarterly, at a minimum, based on current facts and circumstances.

Partial or full charge-offs are recognized for the amount of credit losses on loans when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Charge-offs are taken when:

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For residential mortgage loans, payments are at least 150 days delinquent, but no later than 180 days delinquent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For home equity loans and lines of credit and modified residential loans, payments are greater than 90 days delinquent;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For all classes of loan modifications with a high debt-to-income ratio at time of modification;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For all classes of loans, a sheriff sale is scheduled within 60 days to sell the collateral securing the loan;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For all classes of loans, all borrowers have been discharged of their obligation through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For all classes of loans, within 60 days of notification, all borrowers obligated on the loan have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For all classes of loans, a borrower obligated on a loan has filed bankruptcy and the loan is greater than 30 days delinquent; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For all classes of loans, it becomes evident that a loss is probable.

Charge-offs on residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and construction loans are also recognized when triggering events, such as foreclosure actions, short sales, or deeds accepted in lieu of repayment, result in less than full repayment of the amortized cost in the loans.

For all classes of loans, a loan is considered collateral-dependent when, based on current information and events, the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale of the collateral or foreclosure is probable. Factors considered in determining that a loan is collateral-dependent may include the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, indicated by missed or delinquent payments, or a pending legal action, such as bankruptcy or foreclosure.

Collateral-dependent residential mortgage loans and construction loans are charged-off to the extent the amortized cost in the loan, net of anticipated mortgage insurance claims, exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the underlying property. Management can determine if the loan is uncollectible for reasons such as foreclosures exceeding a reasonable time frame and recommend a full charge-off. Home equity loans or lines of credit are charged-off to the extent the amortized cost in the loan plus the balance of any senior liens exceeds the fair value, less estimated costs to dispose of the underlying property, or management determines the collateral is not sufficient to satisfy the loan. A loan in any portfolio identified as collateral-dependent will continue to be reported as such until it is no longer considered collateral-dependent, is less than 30 days past due and does not have a prior charge-off. A loan in any portfolio that has a partial charge-off will continue to be individually evaluated for credit loss until, at a minimum, the loss has been recovered.

Activity in the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment is summarized as follows. See Note *11. LOAN COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES* for further details on the allowance for unfunded commitments.

<u>CLASSIFIED LOANS</u>

The following tables provide the amortized cost and information about the credit quality of residential loan receivables by an internally assigned grade as of the dates presented. Revolving loans reported at amortized cost include home equity lines of credit currently in their draw period. Revolving loans converted to term are home equity lines of credit that are in repayment. Loans, or the portions of loans, classified as loss are fully charged-off in the period in which they are determined to be uncollectible; therefore they are not included in the following tables. No Home Today loans are classified Special Mention and all construction loans are classified Pass for both periods presented.

The home equity lines of credit that converted from revolving to term loans during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, totaled $5,109 and $11,333, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, totaled $4,392 and $6,558, respectively. The amount of conversions to term loans is expected to remain relatively low for several years since the length of the draw period on new originations changed from five to 10 years in 2016.

Residential loans are internally assigned a grade that complies with the guidelines outlined in the OCC's Handbook for Rating Credit Risk. Pass loans are assets well protected by the current paying capacity of the borrower. Special Mention loans have a potential weakness, as evaluated based on delinquency status or nature of the product, that the Company deems to deserve management's attention and may result in further deterioration in their repayment prospects and/or the Company's credit position. Substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current payment capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged with a defined weakness that jeopardizes the liquidation of the debt. Also included in Substandard are performing home equity loans and lines of credit where the customer has a severely delinquent first mortgage to which the performing home equity loan or line of credit is subordinate and all loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy status where all borrowers have filed, and have not reaffirmed or been dismissed. Loss loans are considered uncollectible and are charged-off when identified. Loss loans are of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Other loans are internally assigned a grade of non-performing when they become 90 days or more past due. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, no other loans were graded as non-performing.

<u>MODIFICATIONS TO BORROWERS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY</u>

To mitigate losses, the Company works with borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty to identify solutions the borrowers can afford by entering into agreements to modify their loans. These efforts often result in modifications to the payment terms of the loan, which vary by situation and may include interest rate reductions, term extensions (generally including capitalization of delinquent amounts), significant payment delays (including forbearance, partial payments and repayment of delinquent amounts), other, or a combination thereof. The Company does not generally offer principal forgiveness as a type of modification. The Other category includes loans that were modified multiple times during the period with different concessions.

If a borrower is experiencing an income curtailment that temporarily has reduced their capacity to repay, such as loss of employment, reduction of work hours, non-paid leave or short-term disability, a temporary modification is considered. If a borrower lacks the capacity to repay the loan at the current terms due to a permanent condition, a permanent modification is considered. Loans may be modified more than once. Among other requirements, a subsequent modification may be available for a borrower upon the expiration of temporary modified terms if the borrower is unable to resume contractually scheduled loan payments. In evaluating the need for a subsequent modification, the borrower's ability to repay is generally assessed utilizing a debt-to-income and cash flow analysis.

The following tables present the amortized cost of modifications by type executed during the periods presented for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, there were no modifications made on construction loans.

**8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;INCOME TAXES**

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and city jurisdictions. The Company's combined federal and state effective income tax rate was 21.0% and 20.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations in its major jurisdictions for tax years ended prior to 2021. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income tax assessments or income tax refunds, where applicable, in the consolidated financial statements as a component of its provision for income taxes.

The Company makes certain investments in limited partnerships, which invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the LIHTC. The Company acts as a limited partner in these investments and does not exert control over the operating or financial policies of the partnership. The Company accounts for its interests in LIHTCs using the proportional amortization method. The impact of the Company's investments in tax credit entities on the provision for income taxes was not material during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN**

The Third Federal Savings Retirement Plan (the "Plan") is a defined benefit pension plan. Effective December 31, 2002, the Plan was amended to limit participation to employees who met the Plan's eligibility requirements on that date. Effective December 31, 2011, the Plan was amended to freeze future benefit accruals for participants in the Plan. After December 31, 2002, employees not participating in the Plan, upon meeting the applicable eligibility requirements, and those eligible participants who no longer receive service credits under the Plan, participate in a separate tier of the Company's defined contribution 401(k) Savings Plan. Benefits under the Plan are based on years of service and the employee's average annual compensation (as defined in the Plan) through December 31, 2011. The funding policy of the Plan is consistent with the funding requirements of U.S. federal and other governmental laws and regulations.

The components of net periodic cost recognized in other non-interest expense in the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME* are as follows:

There were no required minimum employer contributions during the nine months ended June 30, 2025. There are no required minimum employer contributions expected during the remainder of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN**

During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, 178,700 restricted stock units, 135,300 performance share units, and 12,000 stock options were granted to directors, executive officers and certain managers of the Company. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, performance share units granted in December 2022 were reduced by 10,200 units, according to the targeted performance formula. The awards were made pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved at the annual meeting of shareholders held on February 22, 2018.

The following table presents share-based compensation expense recognized during the periods presented:

At June 30, 2025, 1,230,475 shares were subject to options, with a weighted average exercise price of $15.81 per share and a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.94 per share. Expected future expense, relating to the 258,600 non-vested options outstanding as of June 30, 2025, is $154 over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. At June 30, 2025, 421,990 restricted stock units and 288,100 performance share units with a weighted average grant date fair value of $13.13 and $13.01 per unit, respectively, are unvested. Expected future compensation expense, relating to the 1,187,738 restricted stock units and 288,100 performance share units outstanding as of June 30, 2025, is $3,094 over a weighted average period of 1.9 years and $1,515 over a weighted average period of 2.0 years, respectively. Each unit is equivalent to one share of common stock.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES**

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into commitments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

any condition established in the contract. Commitments to originate or acquire loans generally have fixed expiration dates of 60 to 360 days or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Unfunded commitments related to home equity lines of credit generally expire 10 years following the date that the line of credit was established, subject to various conditions, including compliance with payment obligations, adequacy of collateral securing the line and maintenance of a satisfactory credit profile by the borrower. Since some of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

Off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit involve elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in assets on the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION*. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the commitment is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. The Company generally uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The allowance related to off-balance sheet commitments is recorded in other liabilities in the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION.* Refer to Note *4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES* for discussion on credit loss methodology*.* Interest rate risk on commitments to extend credit results from the possibility that interest rates may move unfavorably from the position of the Company since the time the commitment was made.

At June 30, 2025, the Company had commitments to originate or acquire loans and related allowances as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Commitment** | **Allowance** |
| Fixed-rate mortgage loans | $213030 | $1105 |
| Adjustable-rate mortgage loans | 18652 | 101 |
| Home equity lines of credit  | 123772 | 1267 |
| Home equity loans | 70989 | 1490 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $426443 | $3963 |

---

At June 30, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments outstanding and related allowances as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Commitment** | **Allowance** |
| Home equity lines of credit | $5515011 | $25828 |
| Construction loans | 6771 | 40 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total | $5521782 | $25868 |

---

At June 30, 2025, the unfunded commitment on home equity lines of credit, including commitments for accounts suspended as a result of material default or a decline in equity, was $5,557,905.

At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had $73,300 and $17,411, respectively, in commitments to sell mortgage loans. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had $115,804 and $15,891, respectively, in commitments to acquire mortgage loans, which are included in mortgage loan commitments above.

The above commitments are expected to be funded through normal operations.

The Company is undergoing an escheat audit covering the states of Ohio, Kentucky and Florida. Any potential loss, or range of potential loss, that may result from this matter is not reasonably estimable at June 30, 2025.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operation, or statements of cash flows.

**12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FAIR VALUE**

Under U.S. GAAP, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A fair value framework is established whereby assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped into three levels of a fair value hierarchy, based on the transparency of inputs and the reliability of assumptions used to estimate fair value.

Presented below is a discussion of the methods and significant assumptions used by the Company to estimate fair value.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

***Investment Securities Available for Sale—***Investment securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, this includes $525,212 and $526,251, respectively, of investments in U.S. government and agency obligations including U.S. Treasury notes and investments in highly liquid collateralized mortgage obligations, that can include items issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, measured using the market approach. The fair values of investment securities represent unadjusted price estimates obtained from independent third-party nationally recognized pricing services using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy. Third-party pricing is reviewed on a monthly basis for reasonableness based on the market knowledge and experience of company personnel that interact daily with the markets for these types of securities.

***Mortgage Loans Held for Sale—***The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is estimated on an aggregate basis using a market approach based on quoted secondary market pricing for loan portfolios with similar characteristics. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value with the exception of mortgage loans held for sale subject to pending agency contracts to securitize and sell loans. The Company elects the fair value measurement option for mortgage loans held for sale subject to pending agency contracts to securitize and sell loans, as permitted under the fair value guidance in U.S. GAAP. This election is expected to reduce volatility in earnings related to market fluctuations between the contract trade and settlement dates. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, there were $29,303 and $10,713 of loans held for sale subject to pending agency contracts measured at fair value, respectively, with unpaid principal balances of $28,734 and $10,336. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025, net gain (loss) on the sale of loans included $289 and $22, respectively, compared to $94 and $162 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, related to gains or losses during the period due to changes in the fair value of loans held for sale subject to pending agency contracts. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, there were $1,675 and $7,061 of loans held for sale carried at cost, respectively. Loans held for sale are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy. Interest income on mortgage loans held for sale is recorded in interest income on loans.

***Collateral-Dependent Loans*—**Collateral-dependent loans represent certain loans held for investment that are subject to a fair value measurement under U.S. GAAP because they are individually evaluated using a fair value measurement, such as the fair value of the underlying collateral. Credit loss is measured using a market approach based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to dispose, for loans the Company considers to be collateral-dependent due to a delinquency status or other adverse condition severe enough to indicate that the borrower can no longer be relied upon as the continued source of repayment. These conditions are described more fully in Note *4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES*. To calculate the credit loss of collateral-dependent loans, the fair market values of the collateral, estimated using third-party appraisals in the majority of instances, are reduced by calculated estimated costs to dispose, derived from historical experience and recent market conditions. Any indicated credit loss is recognized by a charge to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent increases in collateral values or principal pay downs on loans with recognized credit loss could result in a collateral-dependent loan being carried below its fair value. When no credit loss is indicated, the carrying amount is considered to approximate the fair value of that loan to the Company because contractually that is the maximum recovery the Company can expect. The amortized cost of loans individually evaluated for credit loss based on the fair value of the collateral are included in Level 3 of the hierarchy with assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The range and weighted average impact of estimated costs to dispose on fair values is determined at the time of credit loss or when additional credit loss is recognized and is included in quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs later in this note.

***Real Estate Owned—***Real estate owned includes real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and is carried at the lower of the cost basis or fair value, less estimated costs to dispose. The carrying amounts of real estate owned at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, were $1,240 and $174, respectively. Fair value is estimated under the market approach using independent third party appraisals. As these properties are actively marketed, estimated fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, these adjustments were not significant to reported fair values. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, $1,570 and $220, respectively, of real estate owned is included in Level 3 of the hierarchy with assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, where the cost basis equals or exceeds the estimated fair values, less estimated costs to dispose, of $330 and $46, respectively. There were no real estate owned carried at their original or adjusted cost basis at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

***Derivatives—***Derivative instruments include interest rate lock commitments on loans being originated or acquired for the held for sale portfolio, forward commitments on contracts to deliver mortgage loans and interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges. Derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges are reported at fair value in Other assets or Other liabilities on the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION* with changes in value recorded in current earnings. Derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are settled daily, bringing the fair value to $0. Refer to Note *13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS* for additional information on cash flow hedges and other derivative instruments. Interest rate lock commitments are commitments to lend at interest rates and amounts defined prior to funding. The fair value of interest rate lock commitments is adjusted by a closure rate based on the estimated percentage of commitments that will result in closed loans. The range and weighted average impact of the closure rate is included in quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs later in this note. A

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

significant change in the closure rate may result in a significant change in the ending fair value measurement of these derivatives relative to their total fair value. Because the closure rate is a significantly unobservable assumption, interest rate lock commitments are included in Level 3 of the hierarchy. Forward commitments on contracts to deliver mortgage loans are included in Level 2 of the hierarchy.

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis in the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION* at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, are summarized below.

**13.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS**

The Company enters into interest rate swaps to add stability to interest expense and manage exposure to interest rate movements as part of an overall risk management strategy. For hedges of the Company's borrowing and deposit program, interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed payments. These derivatives are used to hedge the forecasted cash outflows associated with the Company's FHLB borrowings and brokered certificates of deposit. Cash flows from derivatives used to manage interest rate

risks are classified as operating activities in the cash flow statement. The Company classifies both the earnings and cash flow

impact from these derivatives consistent with the underlying hedged item.

Cash flow hedges are initially assessed for effectiveness using regression analysis. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, are recorded in OCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings during the period in which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges are settled daily, bringing their fair value to $0. Quarterly, a quantitative analysis is performed to monitor the ongoing effectiveness of the hedging instrument. All derivative positions continue to be highly effective as of June 30, 2025.

The Company enters into forward commitments for the sale of mortgage loans primarily to protect against the risk of lost revenue from adverse interest rate movements on net income. The Company recognizes the fair value of such contracts when the characteristics of those contracts meet the definition of a derivative. These derivatives are not designated in a hedging relationship; therefore, gains and losses are recognized immediately in the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME*.

In addition, the Company is party to derivative instruments when it enters into interest rate lock commitments to originate or acquire a portion of its loans, which when funded, are classified as held for sale. Such commitments are not designated in a hedging relationship; therefore, gains and losses are recognized immediately in the *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME.*

The Company estimates that $17,562 of the amounts reported in AOCI will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense during the twelve months ending June 30, 2026.

Derivatives contain an element of credit risk which arises from the possibility that the Company will incur a loss because a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts, rather than the notional or principal amounts. Credit risk is minimized through counterparty margin payments, transaction limits and monitoring procedures. All of the Company's swap transactions are cleared through a registered clearing broker to a central clearing organization. The clearing organization establishes daily cash and upfront cash or securities margin requirements to cover potential exposure in the event of default. This process shifts the risk away from the counterparty, since the clearing organization acts as an intermediary on each cleared transaction. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, there was $5,977 and $7,844, respectively, of cash collateral included in other assets, and $50,111 and $68,932, respectively, included in investment securities related to initial margin requirements that are held by the central clearing organization. For derivative transactions cleared through certain clearing parties, variation margin payments are recognized as settlements on a

daily basis. The fair value of derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis, even when the derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements.

**Overview**

The business strategy of TFS Financial Corporation ("we," "us," or "our") is to operate as a well capitalized and profitable financial institution dedicated to providing exceptional personal service to our customers.

Since being organized in 1938, we grew to become, at the time of our initial public offering of stock in 2007, and continue to be, the nation's largest mutually-owned savings and loan association based on total assets. We credit our success to our continued emphasis on our primary values: "Love, Trust, Respect, and a Commitment to Excellence, along with Having Fun."

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

Our values are reflected in the design and pricing of our loan and deposit products, as described below. Our values are further reflected in a long-term revitalization program encompassing the three-mile corridor of the Broadway-Slavic Village neighborhood in Cleveland, Ohio where our main office was established and continues to be located and where we've been the developer of a community of 40 homes, intended to serve the low- to moderate income home owner. We intend to continue to adhere to our primary values and to support our customers and the communities in which we operate as we pursue our mission to help people achieve the dream of home ownership and financial security while creating value for our customers, our communities, our associates and our shareholders.

Consumers, businesses, and governments alike are navigating an elevated level of economic uncertainty as a new perspective on global trade policy is being deliberated by the markets. The Federal Reserve has maintained interest rates near 20-year highs. The U.S. Treasury yield curve is currently positive, after a prolonged period of inversion, normalizing just prior to the FRS's 100 basis point rate cuts between September and December 2024. It is possible that the easing cycle will continue in the second half of 2025, however, uncertainty can lead to volatility in interest rates and spreads, creating a challenging operating environment. Taking all of this into consideration, we remain committed to our mission, business model, and strategic approach. Specifically, (1) our capital ratios remain a primary source of financial strength; (2) our core deposits remain stable and the majority of our deposit accounts fall within FDIC insurance limits; (3) we maintain adequate access to contingent sources of liquidity; and (4) our risk management practices around an array of financial disciplines are robust and commensurate to an institution of our size and complexity.

Capital ratios remain a source of financial strength for the Company and the Association as all capital ratios, including the Company's Common Equity Tier 1 Capital ratio of 17.75%, exceed the regulatory requirement to be considered "Well Capitalized". Additional details on our capital ratios are reported in the *Liquidity and Capital Resources* section of this Item 2.

The Company maintains high-quality core deposits distributed primarily across our Ohio and Florida branch network in products tailored toward consumers seeking non-transactional savings. As of June 30, 2025, 95.9% of our $9.36 billion retail deposit base consists of accounts structured under the FDIC insured limit of $250,000. The Company has the ability to fund 100% of all uninsured deposit balances through sources described later in this Item 2 under the heading *Liquidity and Capital Resources*.

The Company retains ample and diverse sources of liquidity and funding, beyond deposits. At June 30, 2025, our combined additional borrowing capacity under the Association's blanket pledge arrangements with the FHLB of Cincinnati and the FRB Cleveland along with our ability to purchase Fed Funds through arrangements with other institutions totaled $2.75 billion. We also hold marketable securities that could be sold and converted to cash. Further details about liquidity and funding are described in the section labelled *Maintaining Access to Adequate Liquidity and Diverse Funding Sources to Support our Growth* of this Item 2.

We operate a multi-disciplined risk management program that emphasizes stress testing and scenario analysis in the realms of interest rate risk, credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk. Key risk indicators are proactively monitored and reported throughout the organization, up to and including the Board of Directors. The program is supported by a multi-line of defense approach in which internal oversight functions of risk management and internal audit grant their fully autonomous opinion of the process with an ability to issue findings for remediation if deemed necessary. The program is also regularly exposed to additional scrutiny in the form of regulatory oversight and from our external audit firm. Management established the risk management framework with an appropriate level of sophistication such that it fully encapsulates all identified areas of risk, in conjunction with a necessary level of governance, to promote the program's intention of properly identifying and managing our risk profile.

Management believes that the following matters are those most critical to our success: (1) controlling our interest rate risk exposure; (2) monitoring and limiting our credit risk; (3) maintaining access to adequate liquidity and diverse funding sources to support our growth; and (4) monitoring and controlling our operating expenses.

***Controlling Our Interest Rate Risk Exposure.*** Historically, our greatest risk has been our exposure to changes in market interest rates. When we hold longer-term, fixed-rate assets, funded by liabilities with shorter-term re-pricing characteristics, we are exposed to potentially adverse impacts from changing interest rates, and most notably rising interest rates. Generally, and particularly over extended periods of time that encompass full economic cycles, interest rates associated with longer-term assets, like fixed-rate mortgages, have been higher than interest rates associated with shorter-term funding sources, like deposits. This difference has been an important component of our net interest income and is fundamental to our operations.

A challenge to our business model occurs when there is a rapid and substantial increase in short-term rates or there is an extended inverted yield curve where short-term rates exceed long-term rates, both of which occurred in the past three years. Although the yield curve became positive in early September 2024, rapid and substantial decreases in short-term rates can also pose a challenge when interest rates on our home equity line of credit portfolio, indexed to the prime rate, reprice more quickly

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

than interest rates on borrowings and certificate of deposit accounts which generally reprice at maturity. These economic environments may result in decreases in our net interest income and our net interest margin.

To mitigate our interest rate risk in general and to address the current rate environment specifically, we utilize a variety of strategies that include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintaining regulatory capital in excess of levels required to be considered well capitalized;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintaining adjustable-rate loans and shorter-term fixed-rate loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Maintaining and growing home equity line of credit balances, which carry an adjustable rate of interest, indexed to the prime rate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Opportunistically extending the duration of our funding sources;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Utilizing interest rate swaps to convert short-term FHLB advances and brokered certificates of deposit into long-term, fixed rate borrowings; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Selectively selling a portion of our long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market.

<u>Levels of Regulatory Capital</u>

At June 30, 2025, the Company's Tier 1 (leverage) capital totaled $1.86 billion, or 10.86%, of net average assets and 17.75% of risk-weighted assets, while the Association's Tier 1 (leverage) capital totaled $1.73 billion, or 10.10%, of net average assets and 16.51% of risk-weighted assets. Each of these measures is in excess of the requirements in effect at June 30, 2025, for designation as "well capitalized" under regulatory prompt corrective action provisions. Beginning this fiscal year, the Company entered into the final year of the five-year transitional period, as provided by a final rule, after CECL was adopted in fiscal year 2021. Refer to the *Liquidity and Capital Resources* section of this Item 2 for additional discussion regarding regulatory capital requirements.

<u>Adjustable-Rate Loans and Shorter-Term Fixed-Rate Loans</u>

We offer our "Smart Rate" adjustable-rate mortgage loan, which provides us with improved interest rate risk characteristics when compared to a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage loan. Our "Smart Rate" adjustable-rate mortgage offers borrowers an interest rate lower than that of a 30-year, fixed-rate loan. The interest rate of the Smart Rate mortgage is locked for three or five years, then resets annually. The Smart Rate mortgage contains a feature to re-lock the rate an unlimited number of times at our then-current interest rate and fee schedule, for another three or five years (which must be the same as the original lock period) without having to complete a full refinance transaction. Re-lock eligibility is subject to a satisfactory payment performance history by the borrower (current at the time of re-lock, and no foreclosures or bankruptcies since the Smart Rate application was taken). In addition to a satisfactory payment history, re-lock eligibility requires that the property continues to be the borrower's primary residence. The loan term cannot be extended in connection with a re-lock, nor can new funds be advanced. All interest rate caps and floors remain as originated.

We also offer a 10-year, fully amortizing fixed-rate, first mortgage loan. The 10-year, fixed-rate loan has a more desirable interest rate risk profile when compared to loans with fixed-rate terms of 15 to 30 years and can help to more effectively manage interest rate risk exposure, yet provides our borrowers with the certainty of a fixed interest rate throughout the life of the obligation.

<u>Marketing of Home Equity Lines of Credit</u>

We actively market home equity lines of credit, which carry an adjustable rate of interest indexed to the prime rate which provides interest rate sensitivity to that portion of our assets and is a meaningful strategy to manage our interest rate risk profile. Increasing our investments in loans with variable rates of interest help to better match the maturities and interest rates of our assets and liabilities, thereby reducing the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. We strive to grow the home equity line of credit portfolio through offering competitive rates, marketing efforts and by utilizing partners to attract more home equity line of credit customers. At June 30, 2025, the principal balance of home equity lines of credit (including those in repayment) that are structured to reset with each prime rate adjustment totaled $3.88 billion. Our home equity lending is discussed in the *Lending Activities* section of this Item 2.

<u>Extending the Duration of Funding Sources</u>

As a complement to our strategies to shorten the duration of our fixed rate interest-earning assets, as described above, we also seek to lengthen the duration of our interest-bearing funding sources. These efforts include monitoring the relative costs of alternative funding sources such as retail certificates of deposit, brokered certificates of deposit, longer-term (e.g. three years or greater) fixed-rate advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, and shorter-term (e.g. one or three months) funding, the durations of which are extended by correlated interest rate exchange contracts ("swap"). Funding sources are discussed in more detail within this Item 2 in the sections entitled *Maintaining Access to Adequate Liquidity and Diverse Funding Sources to Support our Growth* and *Liquidity and Capital Resources.* All of our swaps are subject to collateral pledges and require specific structural features to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Hedge accounting treatment directs that periodic mark-to-market adjustments be recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the equity section of the balance sheet, rather than being included in operating results of the income statement. The Association's intent is that any swap to which it may be a party will qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

The Association uses swaps to extend the duration of its funding sources. Each of the Association's swap agreements is registered on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and involves the exchange of interest payment amounts based on a notional principal balance. No exchange of principal amounts occur and the notional principal amount does not appear on our balance sheet. In each of the Association's agreements, interest paid is based on a fixed rate of interest throughout the term of each agreement while interest received is based on an interest rate that resets and compounds daily over a specified interval

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

(generally one to three months) throughout the term of each agreement. On the initiation date of the swap, the agreed upon exchange interest rates reflect market conditions at that point in time. Swaps generally require counterparty collateral pledges that ensure the counterparties' ability to comply with the conditions of the agreement. Concurrent with the execution of each swap, the Association enters into a short-term borrowing or issues brokered CDs in an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and with interest rate resets aligned with the reset interval of the swap. Each individual swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk associated with either the Company's variable rate borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati or brokered CDs. The Association has found it financially beneficial to use swaps to extend the duration of our liabilities with a relatively lower borrowing cost. For more details, refer to Notes *6. BORROWED FUNDS* and *13. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS* of the *NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS*.

Each funding alternative is monitored and evaluated based on its effective interest payment rate, options exercisable by the creditor (early withdrawal, right to call, etc.), and collateral requirements. Refer to Notes *5. DEPOSITS* and *6. BORROWED FUNDS* for additional details on balances. The interest payment rate is a function of market influences that are specific to the nuances and market competitiveness/breadth of each funding source. Generally, early withdrawal options, subject to a fee, are available to our retail CD customers but not to holders of brokered CDs; issuer call options are not provided on our advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati; and we are not subject to early termination options with respect to our interest rate exchange contracts. Additionally, collateral pledges are not provided with respect to our retail CDs or our brokered CDs, but are required for our advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati as well as for our interest rate exchange contracts. We will continue to evaluate the structure of our funding sources balancing the need to extend duration and manage cost.

<u>Selling Fixed Rate Loans in the Secondary Market</u>

We also manage interest rate risk by selectively selling a portion of our long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market. First mortgage loans (primarily fixed-rate mortgages with terms of 15 years or more, Home Ready and certain loans acquired through our correspondent lending partner) are originated under Fannie Mae guidelines and are eligible for sale to Fannie Mae either as whole loans or within mortgage-backed securities. Certain types of loans (i.e. our Smart Rate adjustable-rate loans, 10-year fixed-rate loans, and first mortgage loans secured by certain property types) are originated under our proprietary underwriting and closing process and are not eligible for sale to Fannie Mae. We can also manage interest rate risk by selling non-Fannie Mae compliant mortgage loans to private investors, although those transactions may be limited to loans that have established payment histories, strong borrower credit profiles and are supported by adequate collateral. Additionally, sales to private investors are dependent upon favorable market conditions, including motivated buyers, and involve more complicated negotiations and longer settlement timelines.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, $210.6 million of agency-compliant, long-term (15 to 30 years), fixed-rate mortgage loans were sold, or committed to be sold, primarily to Fannie Mae. Of these sold or committed loans, $20.8 million were originated under Fannie Mae's Home Ready initiative, $23.0 million were acquired through a correspondent lending partnership and $166.8 million were originated as agency-compliant first mortgage loans or to the same "Qualified Mortgage" underwriting standards. At June 30, 2025, loans classified as held for sale totaled $31.0 million. At June 30, 2025, we serviced $1.99 billion of loans we originated and later sold to investors.

We continue to consider liquidity and balance sheet management, as well as secondary market pricing, in evaluating the opportunity to sell loans. Loan sales are discussed in more detail within the *Liquidity and Capital Resources* section of this Item 2.

***Monitoring and Limiting Our Credit Risk.*** While, historically, we had been successful in limiting our credit risk exposure by generally imposing high credit standards with respect to lending, the memory of the 2008 housing market collapse and financial crisis is a constant reminder to focus on credit risk. In response to the evolving economic landscape, we continuously revise and update our quarterly analysis and evaluation procedures, as needed, for each category of our lending with the objective of identifying and recognizing all appropriate credit losses. At June 30, 2025, 90% of our assets consisted of residential real estate loans (both "held for sale" and "held for investment") and home equity loans and lines of credit. Our analytic procedures and evaluations include specific reviews of all home equity loans and lines of credit that become 90 or more days past due, as well as specific reviews of all first mortgage loans that are at least 150 days past due, but not later than 180 days past due. We transfer performing home equity lines of credit subordinate to first mortgages delinquent greater than 90 days to non-accrual status. We also charge-off performing loans to collateral value and classify those loans as non-accrual within 60 days of notification of all borrowers filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, that have not reaffirmed or been dismissed, regardless of how long the loans have been performing.

In an effort to limit our credit risk exposure and keep it consistent with the low risk appetite approved by the Board of Directors, the credit eligibility criteria is evaluated to ensure a successful homeowner has the primary source of repayment, followed by a collateral position that allows for a secondary source of repayment, if needed. Products that do not result in an

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

effective mix of repayment ability are not offered. We believe we use stringent, conservative lending standards for underwriting to reduce our credit risk. For first mortgage loans originated during the current quarter, the average credit score was 776 and the average LTV was 70% at origination. Our current delinquency levels reflect the higher credit standards to which we subject all new originations. As of June 30, 2025, loans originated or acquired had a balance of $15.70 billion, of which $34.3 million, or 0.2%, were delinquent.

One aspect of our credit risk concern relates to high concentrations of our loans that are secured by residential real estate in specific states, particularly Ohio and Florida, where a large portion of our historical lending has occurred. At June 30, 2025, approximately 58.4% and 16.8% of the combined total of our residential Core and construction loans were held for investment, and approximately 22.4% and 21.8% of our home equity loans and lines of credit were secured by properties in Ohio and Florida, respectively. In an effort to moderate the concentration of our credit risk exposure in individual states, we have utilized direct mail marketing, our internet site and our customer service call center to extend our lending activities to other attractive geographic locations. Currently, in addition to Ohio and Florida, we are actively lending in 25 other states and the District of Columbia, and as a result of that activity, the concentration ratios of the combined total of our residential Core and construction loans held for investment in Ohio and Florida have trended downward from their September 30, 2010, levels when the concentrations were 79.1% in Ohio and 19.0% in Florida. Of the total mortgage loans originated in the nine months ended June 30, 2025, 29.2% are secured by properties in states other than Ohio or Florida.

***Maintaining Access to Adequate Liquidity and Diverse Funding Sources to Support our Growth.*** For most insured depositories, customer and community confidence are critical to their ability to maintain access to adequate liquidity and to conduct business in an orderly manner. We believe that a well capitalized institution is one of the most important factors in nurturing customer and community confidence. At June 30, 2025, the Association's ratio of Tier 1 (leverage) capital to net average assets (a basic industry measure that deems 5.00% or above to represent a "well capitalized" status) was 10.10%. The Association's Tier 1 (leverage) capital ratio at June 30, 2025 included the negative impact of a $40 million cash dividend payment that the Association made to the Company, its sole shareholder, in December 2024. Because of its intercompany nature, this dividend payment did not impact the Company's consolidated capital ratios which are reported in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Item 2. We expect to continue to remain a well capitalized institution.

In managing its level of liquidity, the Company monitors available funding sources, which include attracting new deposits (including brokered deposits), borrowing from others, the conversion of assets to cash and the generation of funds through profitable operations. The Company has traditionally relied on retail deposits as its primary means in meeting its funding needs. To attract deposits, we typically offer rates that are competitive with the rates on similar products offered by other financial institutions. At June 30, 2025, deposits totaled $10.34 billion (including $977.5 million of brokered CDs), while borrowings totaled $4.88 billion and borrowers' advances and servicing escrows totaled $148.1 million, combined. In evaluating funding sources, we consider many factors, including cost, collateral, duration and optionality, current availability, expected sustainability, impact on operations and capital levels.

While our retail deposit customers provide our primary source of funding, we maintain many alternative funding sources. First, we pledge available real estate mortgage loans with the FHLB of Cincinnati and the FRB-Cleveland. At June 30, 2025, the Association had the ability to borrow a maximum of $6.63 billion from the FHLB of Cincinnati and $530.8 million from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window. As of June 30, 2025, our capacity for additional borrowing from the FHLB of Cincinnati was $1.77 billion. Second, we have the ability to purchase overnight Fed Funds up to $455.0 million through various arrangements with other institutions. Third, we invest in high quality marketable securities that exhibit limited market price variability and, to the extent that they are not needed as collateral for borrowings, can be sold in the institutional market and converted to cash. At June 30, 2025, our investment securities portfolio totaled $525.2 million. Fourth, selling loans in the secondary market is a regular source of liquidity. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we sold, or committed to sell $210.6 million in loans primarily to Fannie Mae. Finally, cash flows from operating activities have been a regular source of funds. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, cash flows from operations provided $93.5 million and $147.3 million, respectively.

Overall, while customer and community confidence can never be assured, the Company believes that its liquidity is adequate and that it has access to adequate alternative funding sources.

***Monitoring and Controlling Our Operating Expenses.*** We continue to focus on managing operating expenses. We have successfully been able to reduce our operating expenses to help offset the pressure of margin compression resulting from our liabilities repricing at elevated interest rates and sooner than most of our longer-term fixed rate assets reprice. Our ratio of annualized non-interest expense to average assets was 1.19% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, and 1.20% for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, our average assets per full-time employee and our average deposits per full-time employee were $18.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively. We believe that each of these measures compares favorably with industry averages. Our relatively high average deposits (exclusive of brokered CDs) held at our branch offices ($253.1

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

million per branch office as of June 30, 2025) contributes to our expense management efforts by limiting the overhead costs of serving our customers. We will continue our efforts to control operating expenses to help offset margin compression.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those made in accordance with U.S. GAAP that involve significant judgments, estimates and uncertainties, and could potentially give rise to materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the most critical accounting policies and estimates upon which our financial condition and results of operations depend, and which involve the most complex subjective decisions or assessments, are those with respect to our allowance for credit losses, as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

<u>Allowance for Credit Losses</u> 

We provide for credit losses based on a life of loan methodology. Accordingly, all credit losses are charged to, and all recoveries are credited to, the related allowance. Additions to the allowance for credit losses are provided by charges to income based on various factors which, in our judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating lifetime credit losses. We regularly review the loan portfolio and off-balance sheet exposures and make provisions (or releases) for losses in order to maintain the allowance for credit losses in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our allowance for credit losses is a general valuation allowance (GVA) on our portfolio made up of:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)quantitative GVAs for loans, which are general allowances for credit losses for each loan type based on historical loan loss experience;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)quantitative GVAs for off-balance sheet credit exposures, which are comprised of expected lifetime losses on unfunded loan commitments to extend credit where the obligations are not unconditionally cancellable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)qualitative GVAs, which are adjustments to the quantitative GVAs, maintained to cover uncertainties that affect the estimate of expected credit losses for each loan type.

On October 1, 2023, the IVA established for any loans dependent on cash flows, such as performing TDRs, was eliminated with the adoption of ASU 2022-02. Subsequently, all non-collateral dependent modifications have an allowance estimated through the lifetime loss model. The qualitative GVAs expand our ability to identify and estimate probable losses and are based on our evaluation of the following factors, some of which are consistent with factors that impact the determination of quantitative GVAs. For example, delinquency statistics (both current and historical) are used in developing the quantitative GVAs, while the trending of the delinquency statistics is considered and evaluated in the determination of the qualitative GVAs. Factors impacting the determination of qualitative GVAs include, among other:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in lending policies and procedures including underwriting standards, collection, charge-off or recovery practices;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• management's view of changes in national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and trends including treasury yields, housing market factors and trends, such as the status of loans in foreclosure, real estate in judgment and real estate owned, and unemployment statistics and trends and how it aligns with economic modeling forecasts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the nature and volume of the portfolios including home equity lines of credit utilization and adjustable-rate mortgage loans nearing a rate reset;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the experience, ability or depth of lending management;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the volume or severity of past due loans, volume of non-accrual loans, or the volume and severity of adversely classified loans including the trending of delinquency statistics (both current and historical), historical loan loss experience and trends, the frequency and magnitude of loan modifications, and uncertainty surrounding borrowers' ability to recover from temporary hardships for which short-term loan modifications are granted;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the quality of the loan review system;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the value of the underlying collateral including asset disposition loss statistics (both current and historical) and the trending of those statistics, and additional charge-offs and recoveries on individually reviewed loans;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• existence of any concentrations of credit;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• effect of other external factors such as competition, market interest rate changes or legal and regulatory requirements including market conditions and regulatory directives that impact the entire financial services industry; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• limitations within our models to predict lifetime net losses on the loan portfolio.

Home equity loans and lines of credit generally have higher credit risk than traditional residential mortgage loans. These loans and credit lines are usually in a second lien position and when combined with the first mortgage, result in generally higher overall loan-to-value ratios. In a stressed housing market with high delinquencies and decreasing housing prices, these higher

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

loan-to-value ratios represent a greater risk of loss to the Company. A borrower with more equity in the property has a vested interest in keeping the loan current when compared to a borrower with little or no equity in the property. Given the higher risk inherent in home equity loans and lines of credit and our experience during periods of weak housing markets and potential uncertainty with respect to future employment levels and economic prospects, we conduct an expanded loan level evaluation of our home equity loans and lines of credit, including bridge loans used to aid borrowers in buying a new home before selling their old one, which are delinquent 90 days or more. This expanded evaluation is in addition to our traditional evaluation procedures. We have established an allowance for our unfunded commitments on this portfolio, which is recorded in other liabilities. Our home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio continues to comprise a significant portion of our gross charge-offs. At June 30, 2025, we had an amortized cost of $3.92 billion in home equity lines of credit and $700.7 million in home equity loans outstanding, of which $5.2 million, or 0.11%, were delinquent 90 days or more.

The allowance for credit losses is evaluated based upon the combined total of the quantitative and qualitative GVAs. Periodically, the carrying value of loans and factors impacting our credit loss analysis are evaluated and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While we use the best information available to make evaluations, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on unforeseen changes in loan quality and economic conditions.

We continue to evaluate loans becoming delinquent for potential losses and record provisions for the estimate of those losses. We reported net recoveries in each quarter for the past six years, primarily due to improvements in the values of properties used to secure loans that were fully or partially charged off after the 2008 collapse of the housing market. Charge-offs are recognized on loans identified as collateral-dependent and subject to individual review when the collateral value does not sufficiently support full repayment of the obligation. Recoveries are recognized on previously charged-off loans as borrowers perform their repayment obligations or as loans with improved collateral positions reach final resolution. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, recoveries exceeded loan charge-offs by $0.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, gross charge-offs were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Delinquent loans continue to be evaluated for potential losses and provisions are recorded for the estimate of potential losses of those loans.

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the total allowance for credit losses increased to $102.4 million, from $99.9 million at March 31, 2025. The total allowance for credit losses is comprised of the asset portion, which is applied to the loan portfolio and the liability portion, which is applied to off-balance sheet exposures, primarily related to undrawn equity exposures. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the asset portion of the total allowance increased to $72.5 million from $70.5 million, and the liability portion of the total allowance increased to $29.8 million from $29.4 million. We recorded a $1.5 million net provision for credit losses for the period, consisting of a $1.0 million provision on loans and a $0.5 million provision for credit losses on off-balance sheet exposures.

Because many variables are considered in determining the appropriate level of general valuation allowances, directional changes in individual considerations do not always align with the directional change in the balance of a particular component of the general valuation allowance. The increase in the allowance for credit losses applied to the loan portfolio during the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily related to the net impact of increases in the home equity loan and line of credit portfolios and an increase in the mortgage loss dollars due to a higher origination rate and a widening in the treasury spread and unfavorable unemployment and home price projections. The portion of the allowance for credit losses applied to off-balance sheet exposures increased slightly due to an increase in those exposures, including both the undrawn portion of equity lines of credit and commitments to originate or acquire loans.

The amortized cost of the residential Core portfolio decreased 0.2%, or $23.1 million, and its total allowance increased 0.8%, or $0.3 million, as of June 30, 2025, compared to March 31, 2025. The amortized cost of the home equity lines of credit portfolio increased 5.7%, or $210.1 million, and its total allowance increased 6.8% to $20.8 million, from $19.5 million at March 31, 2025. The amortized cost of the home equity loans increased 7.9%, or $51.4 million, and its total allowance increased 6.5% to $13.7 million, from $12.8 million at March 31, 2025. As we are no longer originating loans under our Home Today program, there is an expected net recovery position for this portfolio which was $2.9 million at June 30, 2025, and $2.4 million at March 31, 2025. Under the CECL methodology, the life of loan concept allows for qualitative adjustments for the expected future recoveries of previously charged-off loans, which is driving the allowance balance for the Home Today loans to be negative. Refer to the *"Activity in the Allowance for Credit Losses" and "Analysis of the Allowance for Credit Losses"* tables in Note *4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES* of the *NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS* for more information.

The following tables set forth the allowance for credit losses allocated by loan category, the percent of allowance in each category to the total allowance on loans, and the percent of loans in each category to total loans at the dates indicated. The allowance for credit losses allocated to each category is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular category and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other categories. The tables do not include allowances for credit losses on unfunded loan commitments, which are primarily related to undrawn home equity lines of credit.

The following table provides the amortized cost and an analysis of our real estate loans held for investment disaggregated by refreshed FICO score, year of origination and portfolio at June 30, 2025. FICO scores are updated quarterly as available. The Company treats the FICO score information as demonstrating that underwriting guidelines reduce risk rather than as a credit quality indicator utilized in the evaluation of credit risk. Revolving loans reported at amortized cost include home equity lines of credit currently in their draw period, therefore not by year of origination. Revolving loans converted to term are home equity lines of credit that are in repayment.

(1)No other individual state has a committed or drawn balance greater than 10% of our total home equity lending portfolio and 5% of total loan balances.

(2)Mean CLTV percent at origination for all home equity lines of credit is based on the committed amount.

(3)Current Mean CLTV is based on best available first mortgage and property values as of June 30, 2025. Property values are estimated using HPI data published by the FHFA. Current Mean CLTV percent for home equity lines of credit in the draw period is calculated using the committed amount. Current Mean CLTV on home equity lines of credit in the repayment period is calculated using the principal balance.

The principal balance of home equity lines of credit in the draw period that have a current CLTV over 80% or unknown, based on drawn amount, is $31.3 million, or 0.8% of the total, at June 30, 2025. In recognition of the past weakness in the housing market, we continue to conduct an expanded loan level evaluation of our home equity lines of credit which are delinquent 90 days or more.

At June 30, 2025, 23.1% of the home equity lending portfolio was either in a first lien position (12.0%), in a subordinate (second) lien position behind a first lien that we held (9.2%) or behind a first lien that was held by a loan that we originated, sold and now serviced for others (1.9%). At June 30, 2025, 12.3% of the home equity line of credit portfolio in the draw period were making only the minimum payment on the outstanding line balance. Minimum payments include both a principal and interest component.

Total loans seriously delinquent (i.e. delinquent 90 days or more) were 0.10% of total net loans at June 30, 2025, and 0.09% at September 30, 2024. The percentage of loans seriously delinquent in the residential Core portfolio remained at 0.06%

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

for both periods. Serious delinquencies in the home equity lines of credit portfolio remained at 0.03% for both periods. Serious delinquencies in the Home Today and home equity loans portfolios at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, are immaterial due to the low level of seriously delinquent loans as compared to the total net loans at each period.

Although delinquencies in most portfolios remain at or near historic lows, recent economic trends and elevated interest rates on home equity lines of credit led to an upward trend in delinquencies in that portfolio. Interest rates on home equity lines of credit are tied to the prime rate of interest which remains elevated, resulting in higher and less affordable monthly payments for some borrowers.

We continue to modify loans to work with borrowers who are experiencing financial difficulty to help them keep their homes and to preserve neighborhoods. Loan modifications may include interest rate reductions, term extensions (generally including capitalization of delinquent amounts), significant payment delays, other, or a combination thereof. For additional information, refer to Note *4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES*.

The amortized cost of collateral-dependent loans includes loans that have returned to accrual status when contractual payments became less than 90 days past due. These loans continue to be individually evaluated based on collateral until, at a minimum, contractual payments are less than 30 days past due. Also, the amortized cost of non-accrual loans includes loans that are not included in the amortized cost of collateral-dependent loans because they are included in loans collectively evaluated for credit losses.

The table below sets forth a reconciliation of the amortized costs and categories between non-accrual loans and collateral-dependent loans at the dates indicated.

**Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024** 

Total assets increased $284.9 million, or 1.7%, to $17.38 billion at June 30, 2025, from $17.09 billion at September 30, 2024. This increase was mainly the result of an increase in loans held for investment.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $11.1 million, or 2.4%, to $452.6 million at June 30, 2025, from $463.7 million at September 30, 2024. Cash is managed to maintain the level of liquidity described later in the *Liquidity and Capital Resources* section.

Investment securities available for sale decreased $1.1 million, or less than 1%, to $525.2 million at June 30, 2025, from $526.3 million at September 30, 2024. There were no sales of investment securities during the nine months ended June 30, 2025.

Mortgage loans held for sale increased by $13.2 million, or 74.2%, to $31.0 million at June 30, 2025, from $17.8 million at September 30, 2024 due to an increase in loans committed to forward sales.

Loans held for investment, net of deferred loan fees and allowance for credit losses, increased $273.9 million, or 1.8%, to $15.60 billion at June 30, 2025, from $15.32 billion at September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio increased $690.8 million and residential core mortgage loans decreased $415.2 million.

The changes in loans held for sale and loans held for investment were affected by the volume of loans originated, acquired and sold. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, total first mortgage loan originations were $760.2 million compared to $598.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Of total residential mortgage loans originated and acquired during the current period, $673.3 million (88.6%) were purchase transactions and $98.7 million (13.0%) were adjustable rate loans. Commitments originated for home equity loans and lines of credit were $1.87 billion for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.62 billion for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Refer to Note *4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES* of the *NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS* for additional information.

Premises, equipment and software, net increased by $5.9 million, or 17.8%, to $39.1 million at June 30, 2025 from $33.2 million at September 30, 2024 due to increased software acquisitions.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Other assets, including prepaid expenses, decreased $6.8 million, or 6.0%, to $107.3 million at June 30, 2025, from $114.1 million at September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily the result of a $4.9 million decrease in interest receivable from swaps and a $2.6 million increase in unapplied wire transfer receipts, primarily loan repayments.

Deposits increased $146.4 million, or 1.4%, to $10.34 billion at June 30, 2025, from $10.20 billion at September 30, 2024. The increase in deposits included a $250.5 million increase in certificates of deposit partially offset by a $26.7 million decrease in savings accounts, a $49.7 million decrease in money market accounts and a $19.3 million decrease in checking accounts. Based on FDIC insurance limits by ownership structure, uninsured deposits were $381.2 million and $349.3 million at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively.

Borrowed funds increased $90.1 million, or 1.9%, to $4.88 billion at June 30, 2025, from $4.79 billion at September 30, 2024. The total balance of borrowed funds at June 30, 2025, all from the FHLB, included $1.51 billion of long-term advances with a weighted average maturity of 1.8 years, $2.93 billion of short-term advances aligned with interest rate swap contracts, with a remaining weighted average effective maturity of approximately 2.7 years, and $435.0 million in overnight advances. Interest rate swaps have been used to extend the duration of short-term borrowings, at inception, by paying a fixed rate of interest and receiving the variable rate. Refer to the *Extending the Duration of Funding Sources* section of the *Overview* for additional discussion regarding short-term borrowings and interest-rate swaps.

Borrowers' advances for insurance and taxes increased by $4.3 million to $117.9 million at June 30, 2025, from $113.6 million at September 30, 2024. This change primarily reflects the cyclical nature of real estate tax payments that have been collected from borrowers and are in the process of being remitted to various taxing agencies.

Accrued expenses and other liabilities increased $17.2 million, or 16.8% to $115.0 million at June 30, 2025 from $97.8 million at September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily related to a $10.9 million increase in payables due to real estate tax payments in process. There was also a $3.6 million increase in accrued compensation expense and a $1.7 million increase in provision for off-balance sheet credit losses. The increase in accrued compensation was due to the timing of pay dates and an increase in the accrual for discretionary incentive payments.

Total shareholders' equity increased $25.4 million, or 1.4%, to $1.89 billion at June 30, 2025, from $1.86 billion at September 30, 2024. The increase reflects $65.0 million of net income in the current year reduced by dividends of $44.7 million. Other changes include $0.4 million of net decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income, primarily related to a net decrease in unrealized gains on swap contracts and net positive adjustments of $6.3 million related to our stock compensation and employee stock ownership plans. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, a total of 57,500 shares of our common stock were repurchased for $0.7 million, or an average cost of $12.87 per share. The Company's eighth stock

(5)Net interest margin represents net interest income divided by total interest-earning assets.

***General*.** Net income increased $1.5 million, or 7.5%, to $21.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, from $20.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense and the provision for credit losses.

***Interest and Dividend Income.*** Interest and dividend income increased $6.5 million, or 3.5%, to $191.4 million during the current quarter, compared to $184.9 million during the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in interest and dividend income was primarily the result of an increase in interest income on loans, offset by decreases in income earned on FHLB stock and other interest-bearing cash equivalents.

Interest income on loans increased $11.2 million, or 6.7%, to $177.5 million during the current quarter, compared to $166.3 million for the same quarter in the prior year. This change was primarily attributed to a 21 basis point increase in the average yield on loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, to 4.59%, compared to 4.38% the same quarter last year. It was also attributed to a 2.0%, or $300.8 million, increase in the average balance of loans to $15.48 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $15.18 billion during the same quarter last year as new loan production exceeded principal repayments and loan sales.

***Interest Expense*.** Interest expense increased $0.8 million, or 0.7%, to $116.4 million during the current quarter, compared to $115.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase primarily resulted from an increase in interest expense on certificate of deposits, offset by decreases in interest expense on borrowed funds and savings deposits.

Interest expense on CDs, net of related interest rate swap contracts, increased $2.8 million, or 4.0%, to $73.3 million during the current quarter, compared to $70.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributed to a $657.0 million, or 8.6%, increase in the average balance of CDs to $8.31 billion during the current quarter, from $7.65 billion during the same quarter of the prior year, partially offset by a 15 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on CDs, to 3.53% for the current quarter, from 3.68% for the same quarter last year.

Interest expense on savings accounts decreased $1.6 million to $3.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to $5.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was attributed to a $177.3 million, or 12.3%, decrease in the average balance of savings accounts and a 31 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on savings accounts, to 1.07% during the current quarter, when compared to the prior quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Interest expense on borrowed funds, net of related interest rate swap contracts, decreased $0.5 million, or 1.2%, to $39.6 million during the current quarter, compared to $40.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was mainly attributed to a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds of $296.8 million, or 6.1%, to $4.60 billion during the current quarter from an average balance of $4.89 billion during the same quarter of the prior year. Refer to the *Extending the Duration of Funding Sources* section of the *Overview* and *Comparison of Financial Condition* for further discussion.

***Net Interest Income.*** Net interest income increased $5.7 million to $75.0 million during the current quarter, compared to $69.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the yield of interest-earning assets, partially offset by a slight increase in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

Average interest-earning assets during the current quarter increased $60.4 million, or less than 1%, when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase in average interest-earning assets was attributed primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans, offset by a decrease in the average balance of other interest-bearing cash equivalents. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 14 basis points to 4.61% from 4.47%. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $127.3 million, primarily due to an increase in the average balance of CDs, offset by decreases in the average balances of borrowed funds and savings accounts.

The interest rate spread increased fourteen basis points to 1.50% compared to 1.36% during the same quarter last year. The net interest margin increased fourteen basis points to 1.81% in the current quarter compared to 1.67% for the same quarter last year. Refer to *Controlling Our Interest Rate Risk Exposure* of the *Overview* section for further discussion.

***Provision (Release) for Credit Losses.*** We recorded a provision of the allowance for credit losses on loans and off-balance sheet exposures of $1.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to a release of $0.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase in provision expense was primarily related to growth in the equity loan and line of credit portfolios. Credit loss provisions (releases) are recorded with the objective of aligning our allowance for credit loss balances with our current estimates of loss in the portfolio. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, we recorded net recoveries of $0.9 million compared to net recoveries of $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Refer to the *Lending Activities*

section of Item 2. and Note *4. LOANS AND ALLOWANCES FOR CREDIT LOSSES* of the *NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS* for further discussion.

***Non-Interest Income.*** Non-interest income increased $0.8 million, or 12.8%, to $7.0 million during the current quarter, compared to $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to increases of $0.4 million in loan fees and service charges and $0.5 million in cash surrender value increases and death benefits from bank owned life insurance contracts.

***Non-Interest Expense.*** Non-interest expense increased $2.4 million, or 4.7%, to $53.2 million during the current quarter, compared to $50.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The increase primarily consisted of a $0.9 million increase in marketing expense, a $0.9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits and a $0.2 million increase in FDIC premiums.

***Income Tax Expense.*** The provision for income taxes increased $0.5 million to $5.8 million during the current quarter, compared to $5.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The provision for the current quarter included $5.2 million of federal income tax provision and $0.6 million of state income tax expense. The provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 included $4.7 million of federal income tax provision and $0.6 million of state income tax expense. Our effective federal tax rate was 19.6% and 18.7% during the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

***General.*** Net income increased $3.6 million to $65.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $61.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in net income was primarily driven by an increase in net interest income, non-interest income and a decrease in non-interest expense, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses.

***Interest and Dividend Income.*** Interest and dividend income increased $18.5 million, or 3.4%, to $564.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $545.6 million during the same nine months in the prior year. The increase in interest and dividend income resulted mainly from an increase in interest income on loans, partially offset by decreases in income earned on FHLB stock and other interest-bearing cash equivalents.

Interest income on loans increased $29.9 million, or 6.1%, to $521.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $491.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was attributed mainly to a 21 basis point increase in the average yield on loans to 4.52% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, from 4.31% for the same nine months in the prior fiscal year. Adding to the increase was a $194.2 million increase in the average balance of loans to $15.38 billion for the current nine months compared to $15.19 billion for the prior fiscal year period as new loan production exceeded repayments and loan sales during the current fiscal year.

***Interest Expense.*** Interest expense increased $13.0 million, or 3.9%, to $348.8 million during the current nine months compared to $335.8 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024. This increase mainly resulted from an increase in average volume of deposits.

The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease of $454.2 million in the average balance of borrowed funds to $4.60 billion for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $5.05 billion for the same period of the prior fiscal year. There was a 19 basis point increase in the average rate paid for these funds to 3.44%, from 3.25% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Refer to the *Extending the Duration of Funding Sources* section of the Overview and *Comparison of Financial Condition* for further discussion.

Average interest-earning assets decreased during the current nine months by less than $0.1 million to $16.54 billion when compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in average assets was attributed primarily to a $27.8 million decrease in FHLB stock and a $169.5 million decrease in interest-bearing cash equivalents, offset by a $194.2 million increase in the average balance of our loans. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 15 basis points to 4.55% for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, from 4.40% for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a $1.4 million increase in the net gain on sale of loans and a $1.2 million increase in loan fees and service charges. There were loan sales of $210.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to loan sales of $190.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

***Non-Interest Expense.*** Non-interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 0.7%, to $152.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $153.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was driven by a $1.6 million decrease in other operating expenses, a $0.3 million decrease in marketing expenses and a $0.2 million decrease in federal insurance premiums, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in salaries and employee benefits. The decrease in other operating expenses was primarily due to a $1.3 million benefit related to actuarial calculations on the defined benefit plan.

***Income Tax Expense.*** The provision for income taxes increased $1.4 million to $17.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, from $15.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, reflecting the higher level of pre-tax income during the more recent period. The provision for the current nine months included $15.7 million of federal income tax provision and $1.6 million of state income tax provision. The provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, included $14.5 million of federal income tax provision and $1.4 million of state income tax provision. Our effective federal tax rate was 19.5% during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, and 19.1% during the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati, borrowings from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window, overnight Fed Funds through various arrangements with other institutions, proceeds from brokered CD transactions, principal repayments and maturities of securities, and sales of loans.

In addition to the primary sources of funds described above, we have the ability to obtain funds through the use of collateralized borrowings in the wholesale markets, and from sales of securities. Also, debt issuance by the Company and access to the equity capital markets via a supplemental minority stock offering or a full conversion (second-step) transaction remain as other potential sources of liquidity, although these channels generally require meaningful lead times.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Association's Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers, as well as unanticipated contingencies. We generally seek to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio of 5% (which we compute as the sum of the average cash and cash equivalents plus unencumbered investment securities for which ready markets exist, divided by total average interest-earning assets). For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our liquidity ratio averaged 5.50%. We had sufficient sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2025.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, scheduled liability maturities and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is generally invested in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent upon our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $452.6 million, which represented a decrease of 2.4% from $463.7 million at September 30, 2024.

Investment securities classified as available-for-sale, all of which are government guaranteed, provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $525.2 million at June 30, 2025.

During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2025, we settled $192.2 million of loan sales and had commitments to sell $73.3 million of mortgage loans primarily to Fannie Mae at June 30, 2025.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our *CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS*.

At June 30, 2025, we had $426.4 million in outstanding commitments to originate loans. In addition to commitments to originate loans, we had $5.52 billion in unfunded home equity lines of credit to borrowers. CDs due within one year of June 30, 2025, totaled $5.54 billion, or 53.6% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales, sales of investment securities, other deposit products, including new CDs, brokered CDs, FHLB advances, borrowings from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window or other collateralized borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the CDs due on or before June 30, 2026. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. Generally, we have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

Our primary investing activities are originating residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit and purchasing investment securities. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we originated $760.2 million of residential mortgage loans and $1.87 billion of commitments for home equity loans and lines of credit, while during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, we originated $598.7 million of residential mortgage loans and $1.62 billion of commitments for home equity loans and lines of credit. We purchased $141.7 million of securities during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, and $121.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Also, during the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, we acquired $282.5 million and $121.0 million of long-term, residential mortgage loans, respectively.

Financing activities consist primarily of changes in deposit accounts, changes in the balances of principal and interest owed on loans serviced for others, FHLB advances, including any collateral requirements related to interest rate swap agreements and borrowings from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window. We experienced a net increase in total deposits of $146.4 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, which reflected the active management of the offered rates on maturing CDs, compared to a net increase of $576.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, there was a $239.8 million decrease in the balance of brokered CDs (exclusive of acquisition costs and subsequent amortization), which had a balance of $977.5 million at June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2024, the balance of brokered CDs was $1.22 billion. Principal and interest owed on loans serviced for others experienced a net increase of $1.5 million to $30.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net decrease of $12.9 million to $16.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2024. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we increased our total borrowings by $90.1 million primarily to fund loan growth. During the nine months ended June 30, 2024, our total borrowings decreased by $444.3 million.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB of Cincinnati and the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window, and arrangements with other institutions to purchase overnight Fed Funds, each of which provides an additional source of funds. The FHLB of Cincinnati approved the Association's allowable borrowing limit of 45% of total assets, as long as the Association maintains compliance with certain credit and regulatory criteria and meets collateral requirements. In an effort to manage our available borrowing capacity with the FHLB, the Company has replaced a portion of its 90-day FHLB advances with like-term brokered deposits.

At June 30, 2025, we had $4.87 billion of FHLB of Cincinnati advances, no outstanding borrowings from the FRB-Cleveland Discount Window and no outstanding borrowings in the form of Fed Funds. During the nine months ended June 30, 2025, we had average outstanding advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati of $4.60 billion, as compared to average outstanding advances of $5.05 billion during the nine months ended June 30, 2024. Refer to the *Extending the Duration of Funding Sources* section of the *Overview* for further discussion.

The Association and the Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The Basel III capital framework ("Basel III Rules") includes both a revised definition of capital and guidelines for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories.

In 2019, a final rule adopted by the federal banking agencies provided banking organizations with the option to phase in, over a three-year period, the adverse day-one regulatory capital effects of the adoption of the CECL accounting standard. In 2020, as part of its response to the impact of COVID-19, U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies issued a final rule which provides banking organizations that implement CECL during the 2020 calendar year the option to delay for two years an estimate of CECL's effect on regulatory capital, relative to the incurred loss methodology's effect on regulatory capital, followed by a three-year transition period, which the Association and Company have adopted. During the two-year delay, the Association and Company added back to CET1 100% of the initial adoption impact of CECL, plus 25% of the cumulative quarterly changes in the allowance for credit losses. After two years, the quarterly transitional amounts, along with the initial adoption impact of CECL, are deemed to be fixed and will be phased out of CET1 capital over the three-year period ending September 30, 2025.

The Association is subject to the "capital conservation buffer" requirement level of 2.5%. The requirement limits capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments to management if the institution does not hold a "capital conservation buffer" in addition to the standard minimum capital requirements. At June 30, 2025, the Association exceeded the regulatory requirement for the "capital conservation buffer".

As of June 30, 2025, the Association exceeded all regulatory requirements to be considered "Well Capitalized" as presented in the table below (dollar amounts in thousands). Capital remains a source of financial strength for the Association and the Company. Preserving capital to levels in excess of regulatory minimums is a priority for the Association and the Company, especially given the uncertainty and pressures of the current economic environment. The Association intends to maintain minimum capital ratios to exceed total capital to risk-weighted assets of 13.0%, tier 1 (leverage) capital to net average assets of 9.0%, and tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 11.0%.

In addition to the operational liquidity considerations described above, which are primarily those of the Association, the Company, as a separate legal entity, also monitors and manages its own parent company-only liquidity, which provides the source of funds necessary to support all of the parent company's stand-alone operations, including its capital distribution strategies which encompass its share repurchase and dividend payment programs. The Company's primary source of liquidity is dividends received from the Association. The amount of dividends that the Association may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the OCC but with prior notice to the FRB-Cleveland, cannot exceed net income for the current calendar year-to-date period plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years, reduced by prior dividend payments made during those periods. In December 2024, the Company received a $40 million cash dividend from the Association. Because of its intercompany nature, this dividend payment had no impact on the Company's capital ratios or its CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CONDITION but reduced the Association's reported capital ratios. At June 30, 2025, the Company had, in the form of cash and a demand loan from the Association, $129.2 million of funds readily available to support its stand-alone operations.

The payment of dividends, support of asset growth and strategic stock repurchases are planned to continue in the future as the focus for future capital deployment activities. See Part II *Other Information* Item *2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds* for details on stock repurchase programs, dividends paid and dividend waivers.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk**

***General*.** The Company's most significant form of market risk has historically been interest rate risk. In general, our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits and advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati. As a result, a fundamental component of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our Board of Directors has established risk parameter limits deemed appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives. Additionally, our Board of Directors has authorized the formation of an Asset/Liability Management Committee comprised of key operating personnel, which is responsible for managing this risk in a matter that is consistent with the tolerance limits approved by the Board of Directors. Further, the Board has established the Directors Risk Committee, which, among other responsibilities, conducts regular oversight and review of the guidelines, policies and deliberations of the Asset/Liability Management Committee. We manage our interest rate risk in order to control the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. Refer to the *Overview* section of *Item 2* for additional discussion on how we manage interest rate risk.

***Economic Value of Equity.*** Using customized modeling software, the Company and Association prepare periodic estimates of the amounts by which the net present value of cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items (the institution's EVE) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. The simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach in measuring the interest rate sensitivity of EVE. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability, and off-balance sheet contract under the assumption that instantaneous changes (measured in basis points) occur at all maturities along the United States Treasury yield curve and other relevant market interest rates. A basis point equals one, one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. The model is tailored specifically to our organization, which we believe improves its predictive accuracy. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results.

The manner in which actual yields, costs and consumer behavior respond to changes in market interest rates may vary from the inherent methodologies used to measure interest rate risk through changes in EVE. In this regard, our EVE estimates assume:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• no new growth or business volumes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured, except for reductions to reflect mortgage loan principal repayments along with modeled prepayments and defaults, and deposit decays; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities.

Our simulation model possesses random patterning capabilities and accommodates extensive regression analytics applicable to the prepayment and decay profiles of our borrower and depositor portfolios. The model facilitates the generation of alternative modeling scenarios and provides us with timely decision making data that is integral to our IRR management processes. Modeling our IRR profile and measuring our IRR exposure are processes that are subject to continuous revision, refinement, modification, enhancement, back testing and validation. We continually evaluate, challenge and update the methodology and assumptions used in our IRR model, including behavioral equations that have been derived based on third-party studies of our customers' historical performance patterns. Changes to the methodology and/or assumptions used in the model will result in reported IRR profiles and reported IRR exposures that will be different, and perhaps significantly, from the results reported below.

***Net Interest Income.*** In addition to EVE calculations, we use our simulation model to analyze the sensitivity of our net interest income to changes in interest rates (the institution's NII). Net interest income is the difference between the interest income that we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest that we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. In our model, we estimate what our net interest income would be for prospective 12 and 24 month periods using customized (based on our portfolio characteristics) assumptions with respect to loan prepayment rates, default rates and deposit decay rates. We then calculate what the estimated net interest income would be for the same period under numerous interest rate scenarios. The simulation process is subject to continual enhancement, modification, refinement and adaptation. The Company and Association use a "shocked" assumption in preparing the NII sensitivity simulation estimates for us in its public disclosure. The "shocked" assumption calculates NII sensitivity in the event that the market interest rates used in the simulation were instantly adjusted.

The manner in which actual yields, costs and consumer behavior respond to changes in market interest rates may vary from the inherent methodologies used to measure interest rate risk through NII. In this regard, the interest rate risk information presented below assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i4bcb7bb1ec8a49eab3a53e9dcafc8d86_7)</u>

duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although interest rate risk calculations provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results. In addition to the preparation of computations as described above, we also formulate simulations based on a variety of non-linear changes in interest rates and a variety of non-constant balance sheet composition scenarios.

***Other Considerations.*** The EVE and NII sensitivity analyses are similar in that they both start with the same month-end balance sheet amounts, weighted average coupon and maturity. The underlying prepayment, decay and default assumptions are also the same and they both start with the same month-end "markets" (Treasury and FHLB yield curves, etc.). From that similar starting point, the models follow divergent paths. EVE is a stochastic model using 150 different interest rate paths to compute market value at the account level for each of the categories on the balance sheet whereas NII uses the month-end curve to compute interest income/expense at the account level for each of the categories on the balance sheet.

EVE is considered as a point in time calculation with a "liquidation" view of the Company and Association where all the cash flows (including interest, principal and prepayments) are modeled and discounted using discount factors derived from the current market yield curves. It provides a long-term view and helps to define changes in equity and duration as a result of changes in interest rates. On the other hand, NII is based on flat balance sheet projections going one year and two years forward and assumes static volume and pricing to calculate net interest income under different interest rate environments. NII sensitivity is calculated to determine the sensitivity of net interest income under different interest rate scenarios. With each of these models, specific policy limits have been established for the Association that are compared with the actual month-end results. These limits are regularly approved by the Association's Board of Directors and are used as benchmarks to evaluate and moderate interest rate risk. In the event that there is a breach of policy limits that extends beyond two consecutive quarter-end measurement periods, management is responsible for taking such action, similar to those described under the preceding heading of *General*, as may be necessary in order to return the Association's interest rate risk profile to a position that is in compliance with the policy.

The following table presents the estimated changes in the Company's and Association's EVE and NII at June 30, 2025, that would result from the indicated changes in the United States Treasury yield curve and other relevant market interest rates.

(1)EVE is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts. Estimated EVE assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.

(2)Estimated NII is calculated for the prospective 12 months ending September 30, 2025, in the event that market interest rates used in the simulation were adjusted instantaneously (termed a "shocked" format) during the 12 month measurement period to an aggregate increase as indicated in the Change in Interest Rates column.

The tables above indicate that at June 30, 2025, in the event of an increase of 200 basis points in all interest rates, the Company and Association would experience a 25.68% and 28.93% decrease in EVE, respectively. In the event of a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Company and Association would experience an 10.70% and 12.03% increase in EVE, respectively.

The following tables are based on the calculations contained in the previous tables, and set forth the change in the EVE at a +200 basis point rate of shock at June 30, 2025, with comparative information as of September 30, 2024. By regulation, the Association must measure and manage its interest rate risk for interest rate shocks relative to established risk tolerances in EVE.

Accordingly, although the EVE presented in the tables above provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure as of the indicated dates, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our EVE and will differ from actual results. In addition to our core business activities, which seek to originate Smart Rate (adjustable) loans, home equity lines of credit (adjustable) and 10-year fixed-rate loans funded by borrowings from the FHLB and intermediate term CDs (including brokered CDs), and which are intended to have a favorable impact on our IRR profile, the impact of several other items and events resulted in an improvement in the Pre-Shock EVE (base valuation) of 12.50% and 14.62% at June 30, 2025, when compared to the measures at September 30, 2024, for the Company and Association, respectively. Factors contributing to the Association's improvement included decrease in market interest rates, capital actions by the Association, and changes due to business activity. While our core business activities, as described at the beginning of this paragraph, are generally intended to have a positive impact on our IRR profile, the actual impact is determined by a number of factors, including the pace of mortgage asset additions (reductions) to our balance sheet (including consideration of outstanding commitments to originate those assets), in comparison to the pace of the addition (reduction) of duration extending funding sources.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

<u>Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures</u>

Under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

<u>Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting</u> 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Part II — Other Information**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings**

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management as of June 30, 2025, the resolution of these legal actions is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors**

(1)On October 27, 2016, the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved the Company's eighth stock repurchase program, which authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's outstanding common stock, and repurchases began on January 6, 2017. Purchases under the program will be on an ongoing basis and subject to the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading price of the stock, alternative uses of capital, and our financial performance. Repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and be available for general corporate use. At June 30, 2025, 5,134,451 shares of outstanding common stock remain to be repurchased. This program has no expiration date.

At the July 8, 2025, special meeting of members of Third Federal Savings, MHC (the "MHC"), the mutual holding company of TFS Financial Corporation (the "Company"), the members of the MHC (depositors and certain loan customers of Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland) voted to approve the MHC's proposed waiver of dividends, aggregating up to $1.13 per share, to be declared on the Company's common stock during the twelve months subsequent to the members' approval (i.e., through July 8, 2026). The members approved the waiver by casting 59% of the total eligible votes. Of the votes cast, 97% were in favor of the proposal. The MHC is the 81% majority shareholder of the Company.

Following the receipt of the members' approval at the July 8, 2025 special meeting, the MHC filed a notice with,

and subsequently received the non-objection from, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland for the proposed dividend waiver.

<u>Securities Trading Plans of Directors and Executive Officers</u>

Transactions in our securities by our directors and executive officers are required to be made in accordance with our Insider Trading Policy and Guidelines with Respect to Certain Transactions in Company Securities, which, among other things, require that the transaction be in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws that prohibit trading while in the possession of material nonpublic information. Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provides an affirmative defense that enables prearranged transactions in securities in a manner that avoids concerns about initiating transactions at a future date while possibly in possession of material nonpublic information.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, the following trading plans, intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule

10b5-1, were terminated by a director or officer of the Company. No trading plans were adopted during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
