Capitol Federal Financial, Inc.^® (NASDAQ: CFFN) (the "Company"), the parent company of Capitol Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), announced results today for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on or about August 8, 2022 and posted on our website, http://ir.capfed.com. For best viewing results, please view this release in Portable Document Format (PDF) on our website.

Highlights for the quarter include:

net income of $21.2 million;
basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.16;
net interest margin of 1.79% (2.11% excluding the effects of the leverage strategy);
annualized loan growth of 7.2%;
paid dividends of $38.7 million, or $0.285 per share, including a $0.20 per share True Blue® Capitol dividend; and
on July 19, 2022, announced a cash dividend of $0.085 per share, payable on August 19, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 5, 2022.

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

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

Leverage Strategy

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

Interest and Dividend Income

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

	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,		Change Expressed in:
	2022		2022		Dollars		Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME:
Loans receivable	$	56,886	$	55,412	$	1,474	2.7	%
MBS		5,048		4,821		227	4.7
FHLB stock		2,695		2,240		455	20.3
Cash and cash equivalents		3,968		949		3,019	318.1
Investment securities		815		800		15	1.9
Total interest and dividend income	$	69,412	$	64,222	$	5,190	8.1

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due primarily to a decrease in correspondent loan premium amortization related to a reduction in payoff activity, as well as growth in the correspondent loan portfolio. The increase in interest income on MBS was due mainly to a decrease in premium amortization related to a slowdown in prepayment activity. The increase in dividend income on FHLB stock was due mainly to an increase in the dividend rate paid by FHLB. The increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due to an increase in the yield earned on balances held at the FRB of Kansas City, the majority of which were related to the leverage strategy, due to an increase in market interest rates.

Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent. The weighted average rate paid on deposits and the weighted average rate paid on borrowings not associated with the leverage strategy each decreased three basis points compared to the prior quarter.

	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,		Change Expressed in:
	2022		2022		Dollars			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
INTEREST EXPENSE:
Borrowings	$	11,644	$	8,732	$	2,912		33.3	%
Deposits		7,787		8,389		(602	)	(7.2	)
Total interest expense	$	19,431	$	17,121	$	2,310		13.5

The increase in interest expense on borrowings was due primarily to an increase in the rate paid on the short-term borrowings associated with the leverage strategy during the current quarter, due to higher market interest rates. Additionally, the average balance of borrowings not associated with the leverage strategy increased compared to the prior quarter due to new borrowings added near the end of the quarter, totaling $250.0 million at a weighted average rate of 3.51%, which contributed to the increase in interest expense. The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on retail certificates of deposit and a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio, as maturing accounts either were not renewed or were replaced at offered rates, which were lower than the existing portfolio.

Provision for Credit Losses

For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $937 thousand, compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $3.2 million for the prior quarter. The provision for credit losses in the current quarter was comprised of a $796 thousand increase in the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") for loans and a $141 thousand increase in reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The provision for credit losses was due primarily to selecting a weighted economic forecast to incorporate a recessionary outlook into the model, as well as commercial loan growth.

Non-Interest Income

The following table presents the components of non-interest income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,		Change Expressed in:
	2022		2022		Dollars		Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
NON-INTEREST INCOME:
Deposit service fees	$	3,601	$	3,300	$	301	9.1	%
Insurance commissions		788		543		245	45.1
Other non-interest income		1,726		1,573		153	9.7
Total non-interest income	$	6,115	$	5,416	$	699	12.9

The increase in deposit service fees was due mainly to increases in debit card income and service charges as a result of higher transaction activity. The increase in insurance commissions was due primarily to the receipt of annual contingent insurance commissions in the prior quarter, which were lower than expected, and the related accrual adjustments. The increase in other non-interest income was due mainly to an increase in income on bank-owned life insurance related to the receipt of death benefits.

Non-Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,		March 31,		Change Expressed in:
	2022		2022		Dollars			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE:
Salaries and employee benefits	$	14,581	$	14,023	$	558		4.0	%
Information technology and related expense		4,343		4,493		(150	)	(3.3	)
Occupancy, net		3,721		3,493		228		6.5
Regulatory and outside services		1,572		1,272		300		23.6
Advertising and promotional		1,068		1,494		(426	)	(28.5	)
Federal insurance premium		784		777		7		0.9
Deposit and loan transaction costs		664		689		(25	)	(3.6	)
Office supplies and related expense		494		502		(8	)	(1.6	)
Other non-interest expense		1,163		1,217		(54	)	(4.4	)
Total non-interest expense	$	28,390	$	27,960	$	430		1.5

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due mainly to an increase in commissions due to an increase in loan origination activity, along with annual merit increases during the current quarter. The increase in regulatory and outside services was due primarily to the timing of external audit expenses, as well as an increase in consulting expenses related to the Bank's upcoming implementation of a new core processing system. The decrease in advertising and promotional expense was due primarily to the timing of campaigns and sponsorships.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 50.61% for the current quarter compared to 53.24% for the prior quarter. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to higher net interest income. The efficiency ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A lower value indicates that it is costing the financial institution less money to generate revenue, relative to the net interest margin and non-interest income.

Income Tax Expense

The following table presents pretax income, income tax expense, and net income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent and the effective tax rate.

	For the Three Months Ended
	June 30,			March 31,			Change Expressed in:
		2022			2022		Dollars			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
Income before income tax expense	$	26,769		$	27,745		$	(976	)	(3.5	) %
Income tax expense		5,617			6,122			(505	)	(8.2	)
Net income	$	21,152		$	21,623		$	(471	)	(2.2	)

Effective Tax Rate		21.0	%		22.1	%

The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to lower pretax income in the current quarter, along with a decrease in the effective tax rate as a result of higher deductible expenses associated with dividends paid on allocated Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") shares due to the True Blue Capitol dividend paid in June 2022. Management anticipates the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2022 will be approximately 21%.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

The Company recognized net income of $65.0 million, or $0.48 per share, for the current year period compared to net income of $57.5 million, or $0.42 per share, for the prior year period. The increase in net income was due to an increase in net interest income, partially offset by higher income tax expense and a lower negative provision for credit losses. The net interest margin decreased six basis points, from 1.88% for the prior year period to 1.82% for the current year period. Excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have increased 16 basis points, from 1.88% for the prior year period to 2.04% for the current year period. The increase in net interest margin excluding the effects of the leverage strategy was due mainly to a reduction in the weighted average cost of retail certificates of deposit and borrowings, which outpaced the decrease in weighted average asset yields.

Interest and Dividend Income

The following table presents the components of interest and dividend income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

	For the Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				Change Expressed in:
	2022		2021		Dollars			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME:
Loans receivable	$	168,086	$	172,758	$	(4,672	)	(2.7	) %
MBS		14,494		16,499		(2,005	)	(12.2	)
FHLB stock		6,166		2,964		3,202		108.0
Cash and cash equivalents		4,931		117		4,814		4,114.5
Investment securities		2,423		2,075		348		16.8
Total interest and dividend income	$	196,100	$	194,413	$	1,687		0.9

The decrease in interest income on loans receivable was due to a decrease in the weighted average rate on the originated and correspondent one- to four-family loan portfolio, partially offset by the increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio. The decrease in the weighted average rate was due to endorsements, refinances, originations and purchases at lower market rates at the time of the transactions between periods, which are being fully reflected in the current year. Premium amortization related to the one- to four-family correspondent loan portfolio decreased significantly compared to the prior year period due to the slow-down in prepayments and endorsements resulting from an increase in market interest rates, partially offsetting the decrease in the weighted average rate.

The decrease in interest income on the MBS portfolio was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average yield as a result of purchases at lower market yields between periods, along with a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio.

The increase in dividend income on FHLB stock and the increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents were due mainly to the leverage strategy being utilized during the current year period and not being utilized during the prior period.

The increase in interest income on investment securities was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of the portfolio.

Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

	For the Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				Change Expressed in:
	2022		2021		Dollars			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
INTEREST EXPENSE:
Borrowings	$	27,961	$	26,885	$	1,076		4.0	%
Deposits		25,443		38,071		(12,628	)	(33.2	)
Total interest expense	$	53,404	$	64,956	$	(11,552	)	(17.8	)

The increase in interest expense on borrowings was due to the leverage strategy being utilized during a portion of the current year period and not being utilized during the prior year period. Interest expense on borrowings associated with the leverage strategy totaled $4.9 million during the current year period. This was partially offset by a lower cost of FHLB borrowings not associated with the leverage strategy due primarily to terminating or not renewing certain interest rate swap agreements, not replacing certain maturing FHLB advances, and prepaying certain advances during fiscal year 2021.

The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due mainly to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on retail certificates of deposit, along with a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio. Retail certificates of deposit repriced downward between periods as they were renewed or were replaced at lower offered rates, along with some certificates of deposit not renewing.

Provision for Credit Losses

The Bank recorded a negative provision for credit losses during the current year period of $5.7 million, compared to a negative provision for credit losses of $7.2 million during the prior year period. The negative provision in the current year period was comprised of a $3.8 million decrease in the ACL for loans and a $1.9 million decrease in reserves for off-balance sheet credit exposures. The negative provision for credit losses associated with the ACL in the current year period was due primarily to a reduction in commercial loan qualitative factors, partially offset by an increase in ACL related to loan growth during the current year period. The negative provision for credit losses associated with the reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures in the current year period was due primarily to a reduction in commercial loan qualitative factors.

Non-Interest Income

The following table presents the components of non-interest income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

	For the Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				Change Expressed in:
	2022		2021		Dollars			Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
NON-INTEREST INCOME:
Deposit service fees	$	10,331	$	8,988	$	1,343		14.9	%
Insurance commissions		2,042		2,249		(207	)	(9.2	)
Gain on sale of Visa Class B shares		—		7,386		(7,386	)	(100.0	)
Other non-interest income		4,664		4,160		504		12.1
Total non-interest income	$	17,037	$	22,783	$	(5,746	)	(25.2	)

The increase in deposit service fees was due primarily to an increase in debit card income and service charges as a result of higher transaction and settlement volume, in addition to an increase in the average transaction amount. The decrease in insurance commissions was due primarily to the receipt of annual contingent insurance commissions, which were lower than expected, and the related accrual adjustments. During the prior year period, the Bank sold its Visa Class B shares, resulting in a $7.4 million gain, with no similar transaction during the current year period. The increase in other non-interest income was due primarily to a gain on a loan-related financial derivative agreement.

Non-Interest Expense

The following table presents the components of non-interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

	For the Nine Months Ended
	June 30,				Change Expressed in:

Office supplies and related expense		1,464		1,289		175		13.6
Loss on interest rate swap termination		—		4,752		(4,752	)	(100.0	)
Other non-interest expense		3,299		3,877		(578	)	(14.9	)
Total non-interest expense	$	83,044	$	87,322	$	(4,278	)	(4.9	)

The increase in salaries and employee benefits was due primarily to merit increases and an increase in incentive compensation, partially offset by a decrease in commissions due to a reduction in loan origination activity compared to the prior year period. The increase in federal insurance premium expense was due mainly to an increase in average assets as a result of the leverage strategy being utilized during the current year period. During the prior year period, the Bank terminated $200.0 million of interest rate swaps, resulting in a loss of $4.8 million which was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to earnings. The decrease in other non-interest expense was due primarily to the write-down during the prior year period of a property that had previously served as one of the Bank's branch locations.

The Company's efficiency ratio was 51.99% for the current year period compared to 57.36% for the prior year period. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to higher net interest income.

Management intends to implement a new core processing system for the Bank by September 2023. The replacement system is expected to better position the Bank for the future and allow for the introduction of new products and services to enhance customer experiences. The implementation of the new core system and related conversion of data may result in increased third party expenses later in fiscal year 2022 and during fiscal year 2023.

Income Tax Expense

The following table presents pretax income, income tax expense, and net income for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent and effective tax rate.

	For the Nine Months Ended
	June 30,						Change Expressed in:
	2022			2021			Dollars		Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)

Income before income tax expense	$	82,379		$	72,105		$	10,274	14.2	%
Income tax expense		17,418			14,576			2,842	19.5
Net income	$	64,961		$	57,529		$	7,432	12.9

Effective Tax Rate		21.1	%		20.2	%

The increase in income tax expense was due primarily to higher pretax income in the current year period. Additionally, the effective tax rate increased slightly compared to the prior year period, and is in line with management's anticipation of an effective tax rate of approximately 21% for fiscal year 2022.

Financial Condition as of June 30, 2022

The following table summarizes the Company's financial condition at the dates indicated.

							Annualized					Annualized

Average number of basic shares outstanding		135,725			135,677		0.1			135,571		0.2
Average number of diluted shares outstanding		135,725			135,677		0.1			135,571		0.2

During the current quarter and current year period, total assets decreased as cash and/or securities were partially reinvested in loans receivable. Deposit outflows, the majority of which occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, were replaced by an increase in borrowings. The decrease in stockholders' equity from September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2022 to June 30, 2022 was due mainly to a reduction in AOCI as a result of changes in the fair value of AFS securities, along with the payment of a $0.20 per share True Blue Capitol dividend in June 2022.

During the current quarter, the deposit portfolio decreased $284.9 million, or 17.2% annualized. The decrease was primarily in retail certificates of deposit ($83.9 million), checking accounts ($70.0 million), public unit deposits ($67.0 million), and commercial certificates of deposit ($45.7 million). The decrease in checking accounts was mainly in retail accounts, as depositors used accumulated savings for other purposes during the quarter. The decrease in public unit deposits was due to the rapidly increasing costs of available funds in this category, to the point that rates were in excess of other funding sources available to the Bank. The decrease in commercial certificates of deposit was expected, as certain maturities were anticipated to be used to fund operations at the depositors' related businesses during the current year. The Bank has begun to increase offered rates on certificates of deposit and money market accounts, which has reduced the runoff in these portfolios.

Loans receivable, net, increased $127.4 million during the current quarter due primarily to a $101.7 million increase in one- to four-family loans and a $20.6 million increase in commercial loans.

The following table summarizes loan originations and purchases and borrowing activity, along with the related weighted average rates, during the periods indicated. The borrowings presented in the table have original contractual terms of one year or longer.

Stockholders' Equity

During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid cash dividends totaling $91.6 million. These cash dividends totaled $0.675 per share and consisted of a $0.22 per share cash true-up dividend related to fiscal year 2021 earnings, a $0.20 per share True Blue Capitol cash dividend, and three regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.085 per share. On July 19, 2022, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $11.5 million, payable on August 19, 2022 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 5, 2022. In the long run, management considers the Bank's equity to total assets ratio of at least 9% an appropriate level of capital. At June 30, 2022, this ratio was 10.6%.

At June 30, 2022, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $91.9 million in cash on deposit at the Bank. For fiscal year 2022, it is the intention of the Board of Directors to continue the payout of 100% of the Company's earnings to the Company's stockholders. Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors, including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, and the amount of cash at the holding company level.

There remains $44.7 million authorized under the existing stock repurchase plan for additional purchases of the Company's common stock. Shares may be repurchased from time to time based upon market conditions, available liquidity and other factors. This plan has no expiration date; however, the Federal Reserve Bank's existing approval for the Company to repurchase shares expires in August 2022.

The following table presents a reconciliation of total to net shares outstanding as of June 30, 2022.

Total shares outstanding	138,854,084
Less unallocated ESOP shares and unvested restricted stock	(3,086,165	)
Net shares outstanding	135,767,919

Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank in accordance with regulatory standards. As of June 30, 2022, the Bank's community bank leverage ratio ("CBLR") was 9.4%, which exceeded the minimum requirement of 9%. The CBLR is based on average assets.

Average Balance Sheets

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

(7)		Net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on them.
(8)		Net interest margin represents annualized net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
(9)		The tables below provide a reconciliation between certain performance ratios presented in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the performance ratios excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it is important for comparability purposes to provide the performance ratios without the leverage strategy because of the unique nature of the leverage strategy. The leverage strategy reduces some of our performance ratios due to the amount of earnings associated with the transaction in comparison to the size of the transaction, while increasing our net income.

One- to Four-Family Loans: The following table presents, for our portfolio of one- to four-family loans, the amount, weighted average rate, percent of total, weighted average credit score, and weighted average loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio, and average balance per loan as of June 30, 2022. Credit scores were updated in March 2022 from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency. The LTV ratios were based on the current loan balance and either the lesser of the purchase price or original appraisal, or the most recent Bank appraisal, if available. In most cases, the most recent appraisal was obtained at the time of origination.

Commercial Loans: During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Bank originated $174.9 million of commercial loans and entered into commercial loan participations totaling $82.1 million. The Bank also processed commercial loan disbursements, excluding lines of credit, of approximately $232.0 million at a weighted average rate of 4.04%.

As of June 30, 2022, March 31, 2022, and September 30, 2021, the Bank's commercial and industrial gross loan amount (unpaid principal plus undisbursed amounts) totaled $95.2 million, $101.3 million, and $90.7 million, respectively, and commitments totaled $440 thousand at June 30, 2022.

The following table presents the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction loans by type of primary collateral as of the dates indicated. As of June 30, 2022, the Bank had 26 commercial real estate and commercial construction loan commitments totaling $65.5 million, at a weighted average rate of 4.17%. Because the commitments to pay out undisbursed funds are not cancellable by the Bank, unless the loan is in default, we generally anticipate fully funding the related projects.

Asset Quality

The following tables present loans 30 to 89 days delinquent, non-performing loans, and other real estate owned ("OREO") as of the dates indicated. The amounts in the table represent the unpaid principal balance of the loans less related charge-offs, if any. Loans subject to payment forbearance under the Bank's COVID-19 loan modification program are not reported as delinquent during the forbearance time period. Of the loans 30 to 89 days delinquent at June 30, 2022, approximately 61% were 59 days or less delinquent. Nonaccrual loans are loans that are 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure and other loans required to be reported as nonaccrual pursuant to accounting and/or regulatory reporting requirements and/or internal policies, even if the loans are current. Non-performing assets include nonaccrual loans and OREO.

The following table presents loans classified as special mention or substandard at the dates presented. The decrease in commercial special mention loans at June 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021 was due mainly to two commercial loans moving to the pass classification during the December 31, 2021 quarter as the underlying economic considerations being monitored by management improved to levels deemed appropriate by the Company. The commercial special mention loan balance at June 30, 2022 was comprised of a single loan which continues to show improvement in its cash flow from operations and other operating metrics.

Allowance for Credit Losses: The Bank is utilizing a discounted cash flow approach for estimating expected credit losses for pooled loans and loan commitments. Management applied qualitative factors at June 30, 2022 to account for economic uncertainty that may not be adequately captured in the third party economic forecast scenarios, along with the balance of large-dollar special mention commercial loans, and commercial loan COVID-19 modifications.

The following tables present ACL activity and related ratios at the dates and for the periods indicated. The reserve for off-balance sheet credit exposures totaled $3.8 million at June 30, 2022, $3.7 million at March 31, 2022, and $4.6 million at December 31, 2021.

Securities Portfolio

The following table presents the distribution of our securities portfolio, at amortized cost, at June 30, 2022. Overall, fixed-rate securities comprised 95% of our securities portfolio at June 30, 2022. The weighted average life ("WAL") is the estimated remaining maturity (in years) after three-month historical prepayment speeds and projected call option assumptions have been applied. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt securities are not calculated on a fully tax-equivalent basis.

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

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

Average Rates and Lives

At June 30, 2022, the Bank's gap between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities projected to reprice within one year was $(1.33) billion, or (14.0)% of total assets, compared to $(1.46) billion, or (15.3)% of total assets, at March 31, 2022. The change in the one-year gap amount was due primarily to a decrease in the amount of liability cash flows projected at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022. This was driven by the decrease in deposits compared to the prior quarter. In addition, the Bank projected higher cash flows on mortgage-related assets at June 30, 2022 compared to March 31, 2022, despite higher interest rates. As interest rates rise, borrowers have less economic incentive to refinance their mortgages and agency debt issuers have less economic incentive or opportunity to exercise their call options in order to issue new debt at lower interest rates, which would typically result in lower projected cash flows on these assets. However, during the current quarter, the Bank upgraded its interest rate risk model, which resulted in the third-party mortgage prepayment model projecting faster prepayment speeds for mortgage-related assets, despite the higher interest rates at June 30, 2022. The prepayment speeds in the upgraded interest rate risk model are more reflective of the Bank's actual experience at current market interest rates.

The amount of interest-bearing liabilities expected to reprice in a given period is not typically significantly impacted by changes in interest rates, because the Bank's borrowings and certificate of deposit portfolios have contractual maturities and generally cannot be terminated early without a prepayment penalty. If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of June 30, 2022, the Bank's one-year gap is projected to be $(1.36) billion, or (14.4)% of total assets. The change in the gap compared to when there is no change in rates is due to lower anticipated net cash flows primarily due to lower repayments on mortgage-related assets in the higher rate environment. This compares to a one-year gap of $(1.54) billion, or (16.2)% of total assets, if interest rates were to have increased 200 basis points as of March 31, 2022.

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