This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, filed with the SEC.
Executive Summary
The following summary should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in its entirety.
Response to and Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
During the current quarter, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on our customers, employees, and business operations. Management's actions related to COVID-19 and the impact of COVID-19 on certain aspects of the Company's business are summarized below.
Bank operations - In mid-March 2020, preventative health measures were put in place including elimination of business-related travel, implementing mandatory work from home for all employees able to do so, social distancing precautions for all employees in Bank offices, and preventative cleaning at offices and branches. Lobby services were limited to appointment only while drive-through, mobile, and online banking became the Bank's primary channels of serving customers. Retail loan closings have been conducted with customers coming to our drive-through facilities and commercial loans have been closed in person only when necessary. All employees continue to be paid their regular salary and receive full benefits. In mid-May 2020, lobbies reopened with limitations on the number of customers in a branch at one time. We also implemented operational measures to promote social distancing when customers visit branches and installed sneeze guards. There are several other precautions being taken at our locations such as extra cleaning in high traffic/touch areas and providing locations with additional cleaning supplies, hand sanitizer and masks. In early June 2020, back-office employees started to return to the office in phases. Due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in late June into July 2020, management rolled back the changes to the lobbies that occurred mid-May and adjusted the return to office phases, where necessary, for back-office employees. Our lobby services are now again by appointment only. Management continues to monitor COVID-19 cases and will reopen lobbies when we believe it is appropriate to do so.
Loan modification programs - In late March 2020, the Bank announced loan modification programs to support and provide relief for its borrowers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Generally, COVID-19 loan modifications for one- to four-family loans and consumer loans consist of a three-month payment forbearance of principal, interest and, in some cases, escrow. COVID-19 loan modifications of commercial loans mainly consist of a six-month interest-only payment period. If it is determined that a COVID-19 loan modification is not short-term or the customer does not meet the criteria under authoritative guidance to be excluded from TDR classification, the Bank evaluates the loan modifications under its existing TDR framework. None of the Bank's COVID-19 loan modifications through June 30, 2020 have been deemed to be TDRs.
As of June 30, 2020, the Bank had processed COVID-19 loan modifications for 896 one- to four-family loans totaling $233.4 million, for which the borrowers had a weighted average credit score of 733, and 94 consumer loans totaling $2.6 million. Included in these one- to four-family and consumer loan totals are 163 loans with a combined balance of $37.1 million for which the borrowers have requested additional assistance, generally another three-month payment forbearance, and the Bank either completed or was in the process of completing a second modification as of July 31, 2020. During the month of July 2020, the Bank completed or was in the process of completing a first modification for an additional $6.4 million of one- to four-family and consumer loans.
As of June 30, 2020, the Bank had processed COVID-19 loan modifications for 229 commercial loans with a combined gross loan amount of $392.8 million, which includes undisbursed amounts. Included in these totals are six loans with a combined gross loan amount, including undisbursed funds, of $30.6 million for which the borrowers have requested an additional three months of payment
36
deferrals and the Bank was in the process of completing the second modification as of July 31, 2020. During the month of July 2020, the Bank completed a first modification for one additional commercial loan for $19.2 million.
Small Business Administration ("SBA") Payroll Protection Program ("PPP") loans - As of June 30, 2020, the Bank had originated and funded 700 PPP loans totaling $42.6 million, with a median loan amount of $21 thousand, and received origination fees totaling $1.8 million associated with these loans. These loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA. The program ended June 30, 2020, but was extended on July 6, 2020 through August 8, 2020. Through July 31, 2020, the Bank had originated an additional $738 thousand in PPP loans. The Bank continues to accept applications for PPP loans.
Correspondent loan activity - In an effort to manage the influx of refinance requests from current customers in our local markets during the initial days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank suspended its acceptance of new applications for correspondent one- to four-family loans in mid-March 2020. Correspondent applications and commitments in the pipeline at the time of the suspension continued to progress through the approval and funding process. In mid-June 2020, the Bank resumed accepting new applications for correspondent one- to four-family loans.
Capital, liquidity, and dividends - Management performed stress test scenarios during April 2020. Based on the Company's existing capital levels, deposit inflows, loan underwriting policies, loan concentration, and geographical diversification, no liquidity or capital concerns were identified as a result of the stress tests. Management anticipates being able to manage the economic risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and remain well capitalized with sufficient liquidity to serve our customers.
Deposit balances have increased due primarily to the economic stimulus payments and PPP loans. As a result, management is currently faced with the challenge of excess liquidity. Due to the nature of deposit cash flows, management does not know how long the excess liquidity will be retained. As such, management has elected, for the time being, to reduce the Bank's level of borrowings using the excess liquidity from the deposit portfolio.
With earnings of $0.34 per share, year-to-date, and a cash balance at the holding company level of $89.0 million, the Company has the resources to continue to pay its regular quarterly dividend of $0.085 per share for the foreseeable future. Given the state of economic uncertainty and how that may play out with the credit risk exposure in the Bank's loan portfolio, the Company elected to defer the annual True Blue dividend in June 2020 and did not ask for a regulatory non-objection to move capital from the Bank to the Company to pay that dividend. It is management's intent to ask for a regulatory non-objection at some point in the future and to pay this dividend when economic conditions are more certain. It remains the Company's intent to pay out 100% of its earnings.
Summary of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
Markets responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in many ways, with a dramatic lowering of interest rates in a short period of time having the most impact on the operations and performance of the Bank. With the pandemic impacting the United States later in the March 2020 quarter, the opportunity to fully respond in that quarter was somewhat limited. Since the onset of the pandemic, the Bank lowered its offered rates on deposits and restructured its borrowings. We have lowered offered rates on all retail deposit products except checking and savings accounts. Changes in the rates paid on money market accounts have an immediate impact on the cost of our deposits, while the impact of reducing rates offered on our certificate of deposit products lower the cost of deposits only as higher-costing certificates of deposit reprice lower when they mature. During the prior quarter, the Bank was able to restructure the cost of $350.0 million of its FHLB advances by lowering their cost 72 basis points. During the current quarter, we realized the full benefit of that restructuring. As the Bank further monitors rates offered and the cost of borrowings, we anticipate that the average cost of our interest-bearing liabilities will continue to decrease.
During late February 2020 and through much of March 2020, rates offered on our one- to four-family loan products increased in order to control the volume of loans the Bank could process. During the current quarter, the offered rates on our one- to four-family loans decreased along with local market rates, but our ability to process the loan volumes was maintained. Given current rates offered on new loans and the recent volume of one- to four-family refinances and endorsements of terms to lower current market rates, the yield on the total loan portfolio is likely to continue to decrease. Additionally, with significant cash inflows realized due to securities being called and prepayments on MBS increasing, the yields on reinvested funds into new securities are lower than the portfolio yield.
Considering the drastic changes in market rates and the ongoing economic uncertainty, even with the changes the Bank has made to its cost of funding, with the lower rates on new mortgage loans, refinances, endorsements and new securities also at lower rates, our net interest margin could continue to decrease with further downside risk as a result of high levels of prepayments and premium amortization on correspondent loans, as was experienced during the current quarter.
The Federal Reserve, in response to economic risks resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, returned to a zero-interest rate policy in March 2020 and indicated an intention to stay with this policy at the July 2020 meeting. This was after most broader market rates decreased significantly in response to evolving news about COVID-19. Deteriorating economic conditions included more than 20
37
million people becoming unemployed in the United States in one month's time, with more than 45 million in total filing for unemployment benefits, along with immediate reductions in consumer spending on almost all categories of purchases except groceries and staples, and closure or significantly reduced operations of restaurants, bars, airlines, hotels, and entertainment and hospitality venues, among others, and had a devastating impact on the economy. Since that time, many areas of consumer spending rebounded during May and June, generally locally and not related to travel and entertainment. Some economic indices began to show weakness in July. In the Bank's local markets, governments put stay-at-home orders into effect which only allow for essential businesses to remain open. Many of these stay-at-home orders have been lifted or greatly reduced. As previously described, we adjusted our operations in response to the orders and have worked with both our retail and commercial customers to help them manage their debt during this period of economic uncertainty as our regulators or the CARES Act have allowed. Given the current level of the Company's total assets and the economic and interest rate environment, it is unlikely that the total loan portfolio will increase materially during the remainder of fiscal year 2020. We have been responding and expect to continue to respond to local market conditions regarding the loan and deposit rates we offer. There is increasing concern about the longer lasting impact on local business as well as travel and entertainment resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This could cause a longer recovery time for all sectors of the economy and could make it challenging for sectors that have had better recoveries to maintain that recovery in the long run.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized net income of $19.5 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to net income of $22.9 million, or $0.17 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net income was due primarily to a decrease in net interest income, partially offset by decreases in non-interest expense and income tax expense. The net interest margin decreased 22 basis points, from 2.29% for the prior year quarter to 2.07% for the current quarter. The decrease in the net interest margin was due mainly to a decrease in the loan portfolio yield, specifically the yield on the correspondent one- to four-family loan portfolio due to an increase in premium amortization as result of an increase in payoff activity.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized net income of $46.3 million, or $0.34 per share, a decrease of $25.6 million, or 35.6%, from the nine-month period ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net income was due primarily to a $21.9 million increase in provision for credit losses and a decrease in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense. Net interest income decreased $12.9 million, or 8.3%, from the prior year period to $143.7 million for the current year period. The net interest margin decreased 15 basis points, from 2.30% for the prior year period to 2.15% for the current period. The leverage strategy was suspended at certain times during the prior year period and during all of the current year period due to the negative interest rate spreads between the related FHLB borrowings and cash held at the FRB of Kansas City, making the transaction unprofitable. When the leverage strategy is in place, it increases our net interest income but 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 decreased 17 basis points, from 2.32% for the prior year period to 2.15% for the current year period. The decrease in the net interest margin, excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, was due mainly to an increase in the cost of retail/business certificates of deposit, as well as a decrease in the loan portfolio yield, specifically the yield on the correspondent one- to four-family loan portfolio.
Total assets were $9.56 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $9.34 billion at September 30, 2019. The $218.8 million, or 2.3% increase was due mainly to an increase in cash and cash equivalents due to deposit growth. Management elected to keep a higher balance of cash on hand at June 30, 2020 due to the uncertainty surrounding the current economic environment, and in anticipation of paying off certain fixed-rate borrowings scheduled to mature during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, depending on deposit cash flows.
Total loans were $7.39 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $7.42 billion at September 30, 2019. The $28.7 million, or 0.4% decrease was primarily in the one- to four-family correspondent and bulk loans, partially offset by an increase in commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. During the current year period, the Bank originated and refinanced $720.0 million of one- to four-family and consumer loans with a weighted average rate of 3.37% and purchased $382.1 million of one- to four-family loans from correspondent lenders with a weighted average rate of 3.34%. The Bank also originated $136.1 million of commercial loans with a weighted average rate of 3.43% and entered into commercial real estate loan participations of $93.6 million at a weighted average rate of 4.16%. The commercial loan portfolio totaled $812.3 million at June 30, 2020 and was composed of 77% commercial real estate, 12% commercial and industrial, and 11% commercial construction. Total commercial real estate and commercial construction potential exposure, including undisbursed amounts and outstanding commitments totaling $154.5 million, was $867.1 million at June 30, 2020. Total commercial and industrial potential exposure, including undisbursed amounts and outstanding commitments of $22.4 million, was $122.2 million at June 30, 2020.
Total deposits were $6.07 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $5.58 billion at September 30, 2020. The $487.8 million, or 8.7% increase was primarily in non-maturity deposits which increased $442.3 million, including a $220.8 million increase in checking accounts, a $122.0 million increase in money market accounts, and a $99.4 million increase in savings accounts. The increase was due in part to Economic Impact Payments from the U.S. Government to individuals as authorized by the CARES Act, deposits from PPP loans, commercial deposit growth, and a delay in federal income tax payment due dates from April 15 to July 15. Retail/business certificates of deposit increased $51.9 million due primarily to the President's Day certificate of deposit campaign in February 2020.
38
Total borrowings at June 30, 2020 were $1.99 billion, a decrease of $250.9 million, or 11.2%, from September 30, 2019. The decrease was due to not renewing a portion of the FHLB advances that matured during the current year period and repaying the FHLB line of credit balance.
Stockholders' equity was $1.30 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $1.34 billion at September 30, 2019. The $35.8 million decrease was due primarily to the payment of $82.1 million in cash dividends, partially offset by net income of $46.3 million during the current year period. In the long run, management considers a Bank stockholders' equity to total assets ratio of at least 10% an appropriate level of capital. At June 30, 2020, this ratio was 12.2%. The cash dividends paid during the current period totaled $0.595 per share and consisted of a $0.34 per share cash true-up dividend related to fiscal year 2019 earnings, paid in December 2019, per the Company's dividend policy, and three regular quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.255 per share. On July 23, 2020, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $11.7 million, payable on August 21, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 7, 2020.
At times, the Bank has utilized a leverage strategy to increase earnings. The leverage strategy involves borrowing up to $2.10 billion either on the Bank's FHLB line of credit or by entering into short-term FHLB advances, depending on the rates offered by FHLB. The borrowings are repaid at quarter end, or earlier if the strategy is suspended. The proceeds from the borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings, are deposited at the FRB of Kansas City. Net income attributable to the leverage strategy is largely derived from the dividends received on FHLB stock holdings, plus the net interest rate spread between the yield on the cash at the FRB of Kansas City and the rate paid on the related FHLB borrowings, less applicable federal insurance premiums and estimated taxes. The leverage strategy was not in place during the current nine-month period, due to the large negative interest rate spread making the strategy unprofitable. Management continues to monitor the net interest rate spread and overall profitability of the strategy. It is expected that the strategy will be reimplemented if it reaches a position that is profitable.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our most critical accounting policies are the methodologies used to determine the ACL and fair value measurements. These policies are important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations, involve a high degree of complexity, and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments that may require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions, and estimates could affect reported results materially. These critical accounting policies and their application are reviewed at least annually by our audit committee. For a full discussion of our critical accounting policies, see Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.

Total assets were $9.56 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $187.6 million, or 2.0%, from March 31, 2020, due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease in loans receivable. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was due mainly to deposit growth.
Total loans were $7.39 billion at June 30, 2020, a decrease of $88.7 million, or 1.2%, from March 31, 2020. The decrease was mainly in the one- to four-family correspondent loan portfolio, partially offset by an increase in commercial and industrial loans due primarily to the origination of PPP loans. As noted above, we suspended our acceptance of new applications for correspondent one- to four-family loans during the majority of the current quarter. During the current quarter, the Bank originated and refinanced $270.0 million of one- to four-family and consumer loans with a weighted average rate of 3.19% and purchased $129.0 million of one- to four-family loans from correspondent lenders with a weighted average rate of 3.18%. The Bank also originated $68.5 million of commercial loans with a weighted average rate of 2.23%, which included $42.6 million in PPP loans at a rate of 1.00%, and entered into commercial real estate loan participations of $65.2 million at a weighted average rate of 3.95%.
Total deposits were $6.07 billion at June 30, 2020, an increase of $295.1 million, or 5.1%, from March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily in non-maturity deposits, including a $148.5 million increase in checking accounts and a $112.0 million increase in money market accounts. The increase in deposits was due in part to Economic Impact Payments from the U.S. government to individuals as authorized by the CARES Act, deposits from PPP loans, commercial deposit growth, and a delay in federal income tax payment due dates from April 15 to July 15.

Loans Receivable. The following table presents the balance and weighted average rate of our loan portfolio as of the dates indicated. Approximately 68% of the one- to four-family loan portfolio balance at June 30, 2020 was comprised of loans that had a balance of $510 thousand or less at the time of origination.

Loan Activity - The following tables summarize activity in the loan portfolio, along with weighted average rates where applicable, for the periods indicated, excluding changes in ACL, discounts/unearned loan fees, and premiums/deferred costs. Loans that were paid-off as a result of refinances are included in repayments. Loan endorsements are not included in the activity in the following table because a new loan is not generated at the time of the endorsement. The endorsed balance and rate are included in the ending loan portfolio balance and rate. During the current year-to-date period, the Bank endorsed $355.1 million of one- to four-family loans, reducing the average rate on those loans by 81 basis points. Commercial loan renewals are not included in the activity in the following table unless new funds are disbursed at the time of renewal. As noted earlier, during the initial days of the COVID-19 pandemic, correspondent one- to four-family loan application acceptance was suspended by the Bank but existing correspondent applications and commitments continued to progress through the approval and funding process. One- to four-family correspondent new loan application acceptance was resumed in mid-June 2020.

The following table presents the Bank's commercial real estate and commercial construction loans and loan commitments by type of primary collateral, as of June 30, 2020. Included in the gross loan amounts in the table, which does not include outstanding commitments, are fixed-rate loans totaling $528.9 million at a weighted average rate of 4.16% and adjustable-rate loans totaling $329.9 million at a weighted average rate of 4.43%. The weighted average rate of fixed-rate loans is lower than that of adjustable-rate loans due primarily to the majority of the fixed-rate loans in the portfolio at June 30, 2020 having shorter terms to maturity. Because the commitments to pay out undisbursed funds are not cancellable by the Bank, unless the loan is in default, we anticipate fully funding the related projects.

The Bank's commercial lending team is working proactively with our commercial customers as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present challenging operating conditions. As discussed above, through June 30, 2020, we have modified $392.8 million of commercial loans under our COVID-19 loan modification program. Through June 30, 2020, we have also processed 700 PPP loans for $42.6 million, for which we received approximately $1.8 million in fees. Approximately 60% of PPP loans processed were in the following industries: construction, professional/scientific/technical, health care/social assistance, and retail trade.
The following table presents the gross loan amount, including undisbursed balances, of the Bank's commercial real estate loans by type of primary collateral, and commercial and industrial loans by business purpose, that have been modified, per the Bank's COVID-19 loan modification program, as of June 30, 2020. The COVID-19 loan modifications for commercial loans mainly consist of a six-month interest-only payment period, but a deferral of principal and interest of up to six months was also offered to our borrowers. For the majority of the borrowers with principal and interest deferrals, the payment deferral time period was three months and the maturity date for these loans was extended by three months. The information in the table below is split by type of modification and presented as a percentage of total modifications, as well as by a percentage of the total gross loan amount and undisbursed balances of the related property type or business purpose category. Included in the payment deferral category in the table below are six loans with a combined gross loan amount, including undisbursed balances, of $30.6 million that have requested additional assistance. We are in the process of completing a second modification for these loans for another three-month payment deferral time period.

Asset Quality. The Bank's traditional one- to four-family underwriting guidelines have provided the Bank with generally low delinquencies and low levels of non-performing assets within this loan category compared to national levels. Of particular importance is the complete and full documentation required for each loan the Bank originates, participates in or purchases. This allows the Bank to make an informed credit decision based upon a thorough assessment of the borrower's ability to repay the loan. The Bank performs more extensive due diligence when underwriting commercial loans than loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties due to the larger loan amounts, the more complex sources of repayment and the riskier nature of such loans. When participating in a commercial loan, the Bank performs the same underwriting procedures as if the loan was being originated by the Bank. See additional discussion regarding underwriting standards in "Part I, Item 1. Business - Lending Practices and Underwriting Standards" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019.

Allowance for credit losses and Provision for credit losses - Management maintains an ACL to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio based on quarterly assessments of the loan portfolio. The ACL is maintained through provisions for credit losses which are either charged to or credited to income. Each quarter a formula analysis model is prepared which segregates the loan portfolio into categories based on certain risk characteristics. Historical loss factors and qualitative factors are applied to each loan category in the formula analysis model. The factors are reviewed by management quarterly to assess whether the factors adequately cover probable and estimable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
Management considered several factors when evaluating the adequacy of the ACL at June 30, 2020, such as: economic conditions including the impact of unemployment benefits created through the CARES Act, our commercial lending team's ongoing evaluation of commercial loans, the Bank's COVID-19 loan modification programs, and certain loan credit quality indicators.
There was significant deterioration of economic conditions at March 31, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic which carried into the June 30, 2020 quarter. Many of the stay-at-home orders issued in March and April have been lifted or significantly reduced which resulted in some people returning to work, while not necessarily at the same level as prior to March 2020, and it benefited consumer spending, which rebounded during May and June, generally locally and not related to travel and entertainment. Unemployment benefit claims continue to be at historical levels, but the level at which individuals are filing initial unemployment benefit claims has decreased significantly from the late March/early April timeframe and is starting to level-off. Individuals that are unemployed have benefited from the Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation Program ("FPUC") which the CARES Act created. FPUC provides an additional $600 per week to individuals collecting regular unemployment compensation. The FPUC is scheduled to expire in late July 2020 which could result in financial strain for some households. There were other unemployment compensation benefits created under the CARES Act which have benefited individuals that have exhausted their regular unemployment insurance benefits and that are generally not eligible for regular unemployment compensation, like self-employed individuals.
In late March 2020, the commercial lending team closely analyzed the Bank's largest commercial relationships. Approximately 85% of all commercial loans have been evaluated through June 30, 2020. The commercial lending team primarily focused on the lending relationships considered most at risk of short-term operational cash flow issues and/or collateral concerns, which totaled $183.4 million at June, 30, 2020, and were primarily in the following categories: senior housing facilities, hotels, retail buildings, office buildings and single use buildings. These loan categories were among the categories with the highest usage of the Bank's COVID-19
51
loan modification program. The weighted average LTV ratios based on the unpaid principal balance of senior housing, retail building, hotel, office building, and single use building loans were 68%, 69%, 57%, 77%, and 69%, respectively, at June 30, 2020. We also considered the largest credits in these loan categories. The evaluation of most of our commercial and industrial loans concluded that many of these loans are to businesses that are deemed essential, which we believe reduces the risk of loss on these loans at this time. Management was not aware of any construction delays or other issues that would significantly delay or impact funding of commercial construction loans at June 30, 2020.
In late March 2020, the Bank began offering COVID-19 loan modifications for one- to four-family loans and consumer loans consistent with the CARES Act or interagency guidance from the federal banking agencies. This provides for a three-month payment deferral of principal, interest and, in some cases, escrow payments. Through June 30, 2020, the Bank processed COVID-19 loan modifications for $233.4 million of one- to four-family loans, or 4% of the one- to four-family loan portfolio. As of the end of June 2020, some borrowers asked for and received a second deferral of an additional three months of payments and we are anticipating there will be more requests. While the intent of the CARES Act was to keep customers current on their payments and therefore in their homes during the worst of the economic downturn, it may be masking our actual credit exposure on these loans. Because of this, it is possible that when the deferral time periods end, the Bank's credit quality indicators may worsen, which may increase the need for additional provisions for credit losses and decrease earnings.
Through June 30, 2020, the Bank processed COVID-19 loan modifications of $392.8 million for commercial loans, or 40% of the commercial loan portfolio, including undisbursed amounts. The COVID-19 loan modifications for commercial loans mainly consist of a six-month interest-only payment periods, but a deferral of principal and interest of up to six months was also offered to our borrowers. Some of the borrowers who requested and received a three-month deferral of principal and interest have requested an additional three-month deferral. We are in the process of completing those second payment deferral requests. We believe the Bank's COVID-19 loan modification program has been very beneficial to the majority of our borrowers; however, as is the case with one- to four-family loans, the modifications may be masking our actual credit exposure which could result in worsening credit quality indicators once the payment relief time period ends.
There was no deterioration in credit quality indicators, such as loan delinquencies, asset classification and credit scores, during the current quarter; however, as noted above, the COVID-19 loan modifications may be masking our actual credit exposure which could result in worsening credit quality indicators once the payment relief time period ends. Loans 30 to 89 days delinquent were 0.20% of total loans at June 30, 2020 and 0.24% of total loans at March 31, 2020. Loans 90 days or more delinquent or in foreclosure were 0.12% of total loans at June 30, 2020 and 0.10% of total loans at March 31, 2020. Loans classified as special mention decreased $2.0 million during the current quarter to $64.7 million at June 30, 2020. Loans classified as substandard increased $1.2 million during the current quarter to $32.5 million at June 30, 2020. The weighted average credit score for our one- to four-family loan portfolio was 766 at March 31, 2020 and increased to 768 at June 30, 2020. We completed a credit score update from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency during the current quarter.
Management believes the ACL at June 30, 2020 was adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio at that point in time based on the known facts and circumstances of the economic environment at June 30, 2020. Management will continue to closely monitor economic conditions and will work with borrowers as necessary to assist them through this challenging economic climate. If economic conditions worsen or do not improve in the near term, and if future government programs, if any, do not provide adequate relief to borrowers, it is possible the Bank's ACL will need to increase in future periods, which would have an adverse affect on net income.

The ratio of ACL to loans receivable, by loan type, at the dates indicated is summarized below. The reduction in the commercial and industrial ACL to loans ratio at June 30, 2020 compared to March 31, 2020 was due primarily to the origination of PPP loans. PPP loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA so the Bank did not record ACL on those loans at June 30, 2020.

As of June 30, 2020 and throughout the current quarter, the Bank did not have a balance outstanding on its FHLB line of credit. The average outstanding balance of FHLB line of credit borrowings during the current year period was $61.3 million at an average rate of 1.85%. During the prior quarter, the Bank began utilizing its FRB of Kansas City line of credit rather than the FHLB line of credit, as the rate at the FRB of Kansas City was lower. At June 30, 2020, the Bank did not have an outstanding balance on its FRB of Kansas City line of credit. The average outstanding balance of the FRB of Kansas City line of credit borrowing during the current quarter was $396 thousand at an average rate of 0.45%, and during the current year period was $2.0 million at an average rate of 0.25%.

Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity was $1.30 billion at June 30, 2020 compared to $1.34 billion at September 30, 2019. The $35.8 million decrease was due primarily to the payment of $82.1 million in cash dividends, partially offset by net income of $46.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. In the long run, management considers a Bank stockholders' equity to total assets ratio of at least 10% an appropriate level of capital. At June 30, 2020, this ratio was 12.2%. The cash dividends paid during the current year-to-date period totaled $0.595 per share and consisted of a $0.34 per share cash true-up dividend related to fiscal year 2019 earnings, paid in December 2019, per the Company's dividend policy, and three regular quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.255 per share. On July 23, 2020, the Company announced a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.085 per share, or approximately $11.7 million, payable on August 21, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 7, 2020.
At June 30, 2020, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $89.0 million on deposit at the Bank. For fiscal year 2020, it is currently the intent 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.
The Company works to find multiple ways to provide stockholder value. This has primarily been through the payment of cash dividends and historically the Company has also utilized stock buybacks. The Company has maintained a policy of paying out 100% of its earnings to stockholders in the form of quarterly cash dividends and an annual cash true-up dividend in December of each year. In order to provide additional stockholder value, the Company has paid a True Blue Capitol cash dividend of $0.25 per share in June of each of the past six years. The Company has paid the True Blue Capitol dividend primarily due to excess capital levels at the Company and Bank. The Company considers various business strategies and their impact on capital and asset measures on both a current and future basis, as well as regulatory capital levels and requirements, in determining the amount, if any, and timing of the True Blue dividend. Given the state of economic uncertainty and how that may play out with the credit risk exposure in the Bank's loan portfolio, the Company elected to defer the annual True Blue dividend in June 2020 and did not ask for a regulatory non-objection to move capital from the Bank to the Company to pay that dividend. It is management's intent to ask for a regulatory non-objection at some point in the future and to pay this dividend when economic conditions are more certain. It remains the Company's intent to pay out 100% of its earnings.
The following table presents regular quarterly cash dividends and special cash dividends paid in calendar years 2020, 2019, and 2018. The amounts represent cash dividends paid during each period. For the quarter ending September 30, 2020, the amount presented represents the dividend payable on August 21, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 7, 2020.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
The Company recognized net income of $46.3 million, or $0.34 per share, for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2020 compared to net income of $71.8 million, or $0.52 per share, for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net income was due primarily to a $21.9 million increase in provision for credit losses and a decrease in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.
Net interest income decreased $12.9 million, or 8.3%, from the prior year period to $143.7 million for the current year period. The net interest margin decreased 15 basis points, from 2.30% for the prior year period to 2.15% for the current year period. The leverage strategy was suspended at certain times during the prior year period and during all of the current year period due to the negative interest rate spreads between the related FHLB borrowings and cash held at the FRB of Kansas City, making the transaction unprofitable. See additional discussion regarding the leverage strategy in the "Executive Summary" above. When the leverage strategy is in place, it increases our net interest income but 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 decreased 17 basis points, from 2.32% for the prior year period to 2.15% for the current year period. The decrease in the net interest margin, excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, was due mainly to an increase in the cost of retail/business certificates of deposit, as well as a decrease in the loan portfolio yield, specifically the yield on the correspondent one- to four-family loan portfolio.
Interest and Dividend Income
The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 13 basis points, from 3.61% for the prior year period to 3.48% for the current year period, and the average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $165.9 million. Absent the impact of the leverage strategy, the weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets would have decreased 14 basis points, from 3.62% for the prior year period to 3.48% for the current year period, and the average balance of interest-earning assets would have decreased $89.0 million. The decrease in the weighted average yield between periods was due primarily to a decrease in the loan portfolio yield. 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.

Total interest and dividend income $ 233,372 $ 246,669 $ (13,297) (5.4)
The decrease in interest income on loans receivable was due mainly to a decrease in yield resulting from a $4.3 million increase in the amortization of premiums on correspondent loans related to increases in payoff and endorsement activity. This was partially offset by a shift in the mix of the loan portfolio, as the average balance of lower-yielding one- to four-family loans decreased $155.4 million, or 2.3%, partially offset by a $91.2 million, or 13.3%, increase in the average balance of higher-yielding commercial loans. The weighted average yield on the loans receivable portfolio decreased 11 basis points, from 3.78% for the prior year period to 3.67% for the current year period.
The decrease in interest income on the MBS portfolio was due primarily to a $60.4 million, or 6.1%, decrease in the average balance of the portfolio due to not reinvesting all the cash flows from the portfolio, along with a 10 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield to 2.52% in the current year period. The decrease in dividend income on FHLB stock was due mainly to a decrease in the dividend rate paid by FHLB. The decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to the leverage strategy being in place for a portion of the prior year period and not being in place during the current period, along with a decrease in the yield earned on cash held at the FRB of Kansas City. See additional discussion regarding the leverage strategy in the "Executive Summary" above. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due mainly to calls and maturities either being replaced at lower market rates or not being replaced.

Interest Expense
The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities increased one basis point, from 1.51% for the prior year period to 1.52% for the current year period, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities decreased $85.5 million. Absent the impact of the leverage strategy, the weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities would have increased two basis points, from 1.50% for the prior year period to 1.52% for the current year period, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities would have decreased $8.6 million.

The increase in interest expense on deposits was due to an increase in the cost of the retail/business certificate of deposit portfolio. The weighted average rate of the retail/business certificate of deposit portfolio increased 20 basis points, to 2.08% for the current year period, and the average balance increased $194.7 million, or approximately 8%. Late in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Bank increased offered rates on short-term and certain intermediate-term certificates of deposit in an effort to encourage customers to move funds to those terms. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Bank held the unTraditional campaign, resulting in growth in the short-term and certain intermediate-term certificates of deposit.
The borrowings line item in the table above includes interest expense associated and not associated with the leverage strategy. Interest expense on borrowings not related to the leverage strategy decreased $2.6 million from the prior year period due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of such borrowings, as certain maturing FHLB advances were not renewed and the Bank paid down its FHLB line of credit. Interest expense on FHLB borrowings associated with the leverage strategy decreased $1.4 million from the prior year period due to the leverage strategy being in place for a portion of the prior year period and not being in place at all during the current year period.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses during the current period of $22.3 million, compared to $450 thousand during the prior year period. The $22.3 million provision for credit losses in the current period was primarily related to the deterioration of economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. See additional discussion regarding management's evaluation of the adequacy of the Bank's ACL at June 30, 2020 in the "Financial Condition - Asset Quality - Allowance for credit losses and Provision for credit losses" section above.

Total non-interest income $ 14,614 $ 16,099 $ (1,485) (9.2)
The decrease in deposit service fees was due mainly to the discontinuation of point-of-sale service charges, which the Bank ceased charging in April 2019, along with a decrease in service charge income due primarily to a decrease in consumer activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in insurance commissions was due primarily to a decrease in the amount of annual contingent insurance commissions.

Total non-interest expense $ 78,828 $ 80,614 $ (1,786) (2.2)
The decrease in information technology and related expense was due mainly to the prior year period including costs related to the integration of CCB operations. The decrease in the federal insurance premium was due mainly to the Bank using an assessment credit from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") during the majority of the current period. The decrease in other non-interest expense was due primarily to a decrease in debit card fraud losses, as well as a decrease in amortization of deposit intangibles.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 49.81% for the current period compared to 46.68% for the prior year period. The change in the efficiency ratio was due to lower net interest income in the current period compared to the prior year period. 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 higher value indicates that the financial institution is generating revenue with a proportionally higher level of expense.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $10.9 million for the current period compared to $19.8 million for the prior year period. The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to lower pretax income in the current period. The effective tax rate was 19.0% for the current period compared to 21.6% for the prior year period. The lower effective tax rate in the current period compared to the prior year period was due mainly to the Company's permanent differences, which generally lower our tax expense, having a proportionately larger impact given the lower pretax income in the current year period. Additionally, a discrete benefit was recognized during the current period as a result of favorable federal tax guidance issued during the current period related to certain BOLI policies added in the CCB acquisition. Management anticipates the effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 will be approximately 21%, resulting in an effective tax rate of approximately 20% for fiscal year 2020.

(4) There were no cash and cash equivalents related to the leverage strategy during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. The average balance of cash and cash equivalents includes an average balance of cash related to the leverage strategy of $73.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2019.
(5) There were no borrowings related to the leverage strategy during the nine months ended June 30, 2020. Included in this line item, for the nine months ended June 30, 2019, are borrowings related to the leverage strategy with an average outstanding balance of $76.9 million and interest paid of $1.4 million, at a weighted average rate of 2.36%, and FHLB borrowings not related to the leverage strategy with an average outstanding balance of $2.30 billion and interest paid of $40.0 million, at a weighted average rate of 2.32%. The FHLB advance amounts and rates included in this line item include the effect of interest rate swaps and are net of deferred prepayment penalties.
(6) Net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends on the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on them.
(7) Net interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
(8) The table below provides a reconciliation between certain performance ratios presented in accordance with GAAP and the performance ratios excluding the effects of the leverage strategy, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes it is important for comparability purposes to provide the performance ratios without the leverage strategy because of the unique nature of the leverage strategy. The leverage strategy reduces some of our performance ratios due to the small amount of earnings associated with the transaction in comparison to the size of the transaction, while increasing our net income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized net income of $19.5 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to net income of $22.9 million, or $0.17 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net income was due to a decrease in net interest income and non-interest income, partially offset by a decrease in non-interest expense and income tax expense. The net interest margin decreased 22 basis points, from 2.29% for the prior year quarter to 2.07% for the current quarter. The decrease in the net interest margin was due mainly to a decrease in the loan portfolio yield, specifically the yield on the correspondent one- to four-family loan portfolio due to an increase in premium amortization as result of an increase in payoff activity.
69
Interest and Dividend Income
The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 32 basis points, from 3.64% for the prior year quarter to 3.32% for the current quarter, and the average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $55.1 million.

Total interest and dividend income $ 74,381 $ 82,211 $ (7,830) (9.5)
The decrease in interest income on loans receivable was due mainly to a 23 basis point decrease in yield, from 3.78% for the prior year quarter to 3.55% for the current quarter, due primarily to a $2.5 million increase in premium amortization related to correspondent loans as a result of an increase in payoff activity. The decrease in interest income on the MBS portfolio was due primarily to a 24 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio, from 2.64% for the prior year quarter to 2.40% for the current quarter resulting from the purchase of MBS at market rates lower than the existing portfolio, along with a $67.2 million, or 6.7%, decrease in the average balance of the portfolio as a result of not reinvesting all of the cash flows from the portfolio. The decrease in dividend income on FHLB stock was due mainly to a reduction in the dividend rate paid by FHLB compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due to an 89 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio, from 2.52% for the prior year quarter to 1.63% for the current quarter resulting from calls and maturities being replaced at market rates lower than the existing portfolio, along with an $83.2 million, or 28.6%, decrease in the average balance of the portfolio as a result of not reinvesting all of the cash flows from the portfolio. The decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due mainly to a decrease in the yield on cash held at the FRB of Kansas City, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of operating cash.
Interest Expense
The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 13 basis points, from 1.54% for the prior year quarter to 1.41% for the current quarter, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $54.8 million.

Total interest expense $ 28,094 $ 30,530 $ (2,436) (8.0)
The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the wholesale certificate of deposit portfolio and the money market portfolio, partially offset by an increase in the average balance and weighted average rate paid on the retail/business certificates of deposit. The weighted average rate of the retail/business certificate of deposit portfolio increased nine basis points, to 2.04% for the current quarter, and the average balance increased $210.7 million, or approximately 8%. Late in the prior year quarter, the Bank increased offered rates on short-term and certain intermediate-term certificates of deposit in an effort to encourage customers to move funds to those terms and during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Bank held the unTraditional campaign, resulting in growth in the short-term and certain intermediate-term certificates of deposit.
The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due primarily to lower usage of the Bank's FHLB line of credit, along with the replacement of certain FHLB advances at lower market rates and not replacing certain maturing FHLB advances.

Provision for Credit Losses
The Bank did not record a provision for credit losses during the current quarter, compared to a provision for credit losses during the prior year quarter of $450 thousand.

The decrease in deposit service fees was due mainly to a decrease in service charge income as a result of a decrease in consumer activity stemming primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in insurance commissions was due primarily to the receipt of annual contingent insurance commissions and an increase in the related accruals during the prior year quarter, and no such increase in accruals during the current quarter. The decrease in other non-interest income was due primarily to a decrease in loan fee income, a decrease in income associated with interest rate swap collateral, and a decrease in income from BOLI resulting from a decrease in yield on the Bank's BOLI policies.

The decrease in information technology and related expense was due mainly to the prior year quarter including costs related to the integration of CCB operations. The increase in occupancy, net was due primarily to safety measures implemented at the Bank's branches related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in advertising and promotional expenses was due mainly to adjustments in advertising schedules and postponements of campaigns during the current quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in office supplies and related expense was due primarily to the prior year quarter including costs related to the integration of CCB customers and operations. The decrease in federal insurance premium was due mainly to the Bank utilizing an assessment credit

from the FDIC during the current quarter. The decrease in other non-interest expense was due primarily to decreases in OREO operations expense, amortization of deposit intangibles, and debit card fraud losses.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 51.58% for the current quarter compared to 48.28% for the prior year quarter. The change in the efficiency ratio was due mainly to a decrease in net interest income.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $5.1 million for the current quarter compared to $6.3 million for the prior year quarter. The decrease in income tax expense was due primarily to lower pretax income in the current quarter. The effective tax rate for the current quarter was 20.7% compared to 21.6% for the prior year quarter.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The table below presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing the three months ended June 30, 2020 to the three months ended June 30, 2019. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (1) changes in volume, which are changes in the average balance multiplied by the previous year's average rate and (2) changes in rate, which are changes in the average rate multiplied by the average balance from the previous year period. The net changes attributable to the combined impact of both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020
For the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized net income of $19.5 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to net income of $4.3 million, or $0.03 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The increase was due primarily to recording a $22.1 million provision for credit losses during the prior quarter, and no provision for credit losses in the current quarter. This was partially offset by an increase in income tax expense and a decrease in net interest income compared to the prior quarter. The net interest
74
margin decreased 12 basis points, from 2.19% for the prior quarter to 2.07% for the current quarter. The decrease in the net interest margin was due mainly to a decrease in the loan portfolio yield, specifically the yield on the correspondent one- to four-family loan portfolio due to an increase in premium amortization as a result of an increase in payoff activity.
Interest and Dividend Income
The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 23 basis points, from 3.55% for the prior quarter to 3.32% for the current quarter, while the average balance of interest-earning assets increased $78.0 million between the two periods. 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.

Cash and cash equivalents 59 380 (321) (84.5)
Total interest and dividend income $ 74,381 $ 78,955 $ (4,574) (5.8)
The weighted average yield on the loans receivable portfolio decreased 17 basis points, from 3.72% for the prior quarter to 3.55% for the current quarter, due mainly to a $2.1 million increase in premium amortization related to correspondent loans as a result of an increase in payoff activity. The decrease in interest income on the MBS portfolio and the investment securities portfolio was due primarily to the purchase of securities at market rates lower than the existing portfolios. The decrease in dividend income on FHLB stock was due mainly to a reduction in the dividend rate paid by FHLB compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due mainly to a decrease in the yield earned on cash held at the FRB of Kansas City.
Interest Expense
The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 14 basis points, from 1.55% for the prior quarter to 1.41% for the current quarter, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $121.2 million between the two periods. The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

Deposits $ 16,533 $ 17,804 $ (1,271) (7.1) %
Borrowings 11,561 12,483 (922) (7.4)
Total interest expense $ 28,094 $ 30,287 $ (2,193) (7.2)
The decrease in interest expense on deposits was due to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on money market accounts, wholesale certificates of deposit, and retail/business certificates of deposit, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits. Management generally reduced deposit offer rates throughout the quarter as discussed above.
The decrease in interest expense on borrowings was due primarily to a full quarter impact of the replacement of certain FHLB advances at lower market rates. During the prior quarter, the Bank prepaid fixed-rate FHLB advances totaling $350.0 million with a weighted average rate of 2.42%, and replaced these advances with $350.0 million of fixed-rate FHLB advances with a weighted average term of 4.7 years and a weighted average effective rate of 1.70%, which includes the impact of deferred prepayment penalties being recognized over the life of the new advances. Additionally, the Bank reduced the usage of its FHLB line of credit compared to the prior quarter, and did not replace a $100 million FHLB advance, at a rate of 1.61%, that matured during the current quarter.
75
Provision for Credit Losses
The Bank did not record a provision for credit losses during the current quarter, compared to a provision for credit losses during the prior quarter of $22.1 million. The $22.1 million provision for credit losses in the prior quarter was in recognition of the deterioration of economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. See additional discussion regarding management's evaluation of the adequacy of the Bank's ACL at June 30, 2020 in the "Financial Condition - Asset Quality - Allowance for credit losses and Provision for credit losses" section above.
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:

Other non-interest income 1,229 1,488 (259) (17.4)
Total non-interest income $ 4,439 $ 4,671 $ (232) (5.0)
The decrease in deposit service fees was due mainly to a decrease in service charge income as a result of a decrease in consumer activity stemming primarily from the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in insurance commissions was due primarily to the receipt of annual contingent insurance commissions and downward adjustments to the related accruals during the prior quarter, and no such adjustments during the current quarter. Contingent insurance commissions are performance-based incentives based on certain criteria established by the insurance carriers. These commissions are accrued based on management's expectations and are adjusted when the funds are received. The decrease in other non-interest income was due primarily to a decrease in income associated with interest rate swap collateral, a decrease in commercial loan late fees, and a decrease in income from BOLI resulting from a decrease in yield on the Bank's BOLI policies.
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.

Other non-interest expense 1,253 1,286 (33) (2.6)
Total non-interest expense $ 26,164 $ 26,164 $ — —
The increase in regulatory and outside services was due primarily to the timing of external audit services. The decrease in advertising and promotional expenses was due mainly to adjustments in advertising schedules and postponements of campaigns during the current quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in the federal insurance premium was due mainly to the Bank recognizing a federal insurance premium accrual as the remaining assessment credit from the FDIC was utilized during the current
76
quarter. We anticipate the federal insurance premium for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 will be approximately $620 thousand, or $333 thousand higher than the current quarter.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 51.58% for the current quarter compared to 49.05% for the prior quarter. The change in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to lower net interest income in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $5.1 million for the current quarter, compared to $824 thousand for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate was 20.7% for the current quarter compared to 16.2% for the prior quarter. The effective tax rate was higher in the current quarter due primarily to the Company's permanent differences, which generally lower our income tax expense, having a proportionately smaller impact given the higher pretax income in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter.
77
Average Balance Sheet
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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity refers to our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund ongoing operations, to repay maturing certificates of deposit and other deposit withdrawals, to repay maturing borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of our business management. The Company's most available liquid assets are represented by cash and cash equivalents, AFS securities, and short-term investment securities. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, repayments and maturities of outstanding loans and MBS and other short-term investments, and funds provided by operations. The Bank's long-term borrowings primarily have been used to manage the Bank's interest rate risk with the intent to improve the earnings of the Bank while maintaining capital ratios in excess of regulatory standards for well-capitalized financial institutions. In addition, the Bank's focus on managing risk has provided additional liquidity capacity by maintaining a balance of MBS and investment securities available as collateral for borrowings.
We generally intend to manage cash reserves sufficient to meet short-term liquidity needs, which are routinely forecasted for 10, 30, and 365 days. Additionally, on a monthly basis, we perform a liquidity stress test in accordance with the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. The liquidity stress test incorporates both short-term and long-term liquidity scenarios in order to identify and to quantify liquidity risk. Management also monitors key liquidity statistics related to items such as wholesale funding gaps, borrowings capacity, and available unpledged collateral, as well as various liquidity ratios.
In the event short-term liquidity needs exceed available cash, the Bank has access to a line of credit at FHLB and the FRB of Kansas City's discount window. Per FHLB's lending guidelines, total FHLB borrowings cannot exceed 40% of regulatory total assets without the pre-approval of FHLB senior management. The amount that can be borrowed from the FRB of Kansas City's discount window is based upon the fair value of securities pledged as collateral and certain other characteristics of those securities. Management tests the Bank's access to the FRB of Kansas City's discount window annually with a nominal, overnight borrowing.
If management observes a trend in the amount and frequency of line of credit utilization and/or short-term borrowings that is not in conjunction with a planned strategy, such as the leverage strategy, the Bank will likely utilize long-term wholesale borrowing sources such as FHLB advances and/or repurchase agreements to provide long-term, fixed-rate funding. The maturities of these long-term borrowings are generally staggered in order to mitigate the risk of a highly negative cash flow position at maturity. The Bank's internal policy limits total borrowings to 55% of total assets. At June 30, 2020, the Bank had total borrowings, at par, of $1.99 billion, or approximately 21% of total assets.
The amount of FHLB borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020 was $1.89 billion, of which $943.0 million were advances scheduled to mature in the next 12 months, including $640.0 million of one-year floating-rate FHLB advances tied to interest rate swaps. All FHLB borrowings are secured by certain qualifying loans pursuant to a blanket collateral agreement with FHLB. At June 30, 2020, the ratio of the par value of the Bank's FHLB borrowings to Call Report total assets was 20%.
At June 30, 2020, the Bank had repurchase agreements of $100.0 million, or approximately 1% of total assets, all of which were scheduled to mature during July 2020. The Bank may enter into additional repurchase agreements as management deems appropriate, not to exceed 15% of total assets, and subject to the total borrowings internal policy limit of 55% as discussed above. The Bank has pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $106.6 million as collateral for repurchase agreements as of June 30, 2020. The securities pledged for the repurchase agreements will be delivered back to the Bank when the repurchase agreements mature.
The Bank could utilize the repayment and maturity of outstanding loans, MBS, and other investments for liquidity needs rather than reinvesting such funds into the related portfolios. At June 30, 2020, the Bank had $760.1 million of securities that were eligible but unused as collateral for borrowing or other liquidity needs.
The Bank has access to other sources of funds for liquidity purposes, such as brokered and public unit certificates of deposit. As of June 30, 2020, the Bank's policy allowed for combined brokered and public unit certificates of deposit up to 15% of total deposits. At June 30, 2020, the Bank did not have any brokered certificates of deposit, and public unit certificates of deposit were approximately 5% of total deposits. The Bank had pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $340.8 million as collateral for public unit certificates of deposit at June 30, 2020. The securities pledged as collateral for public unit certificates of deposit are held under joint custody with FHLB and generally will be released upon deposit maturity.
At June 30, 2020, $1.46 billion of the Bank's certificate of deposit portfolio was scheduled to mature within the next 12 months, including $254.5 million of public unit certificates of deposit. Based on our deposit retention experience and our current pricing strategy, we anticipate the majority of the maturing retail certificates of deposit will renew or transfer to other deposit products of the Bank at prevailing rates, although no assurance can be given in this regard. We also anticipate the majority of the maturing public unit certificates of deposit will be replaced with similar wholesale funding products, depending on availability and pricing.

While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and MBS and payments on short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, prepayments on loans and MBS, and calls of investment securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition, and are less predictable sources of funds. To the extent possible, the Bank manages the cash flows of its loan and deposit portfolios by the rates it offers customers.

The following table presents the contractual maturities of our loan, MBS, and investment securities portfolios at June 30, 2020, along with associated weighted average yields. Loans and securities which have adjustable interest rates are shown as maturing in the period during which the contract is due. The table does not reflect the effects of possible prepayments or enforcement of due on sale clauses. As of June 30, 2020, the amortized cost of investment securities in our portfolio which are callable or have pre-refunding dates within one year was $227.8 million.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") regulations impose restrictions on savings institutions with respect to their ability to make distributions of capital, which include dividends, stock redemptions or repurchases, cash-out mergers and other transactions charged to the capital account. Under FRB and OCC safe harbor regulations, savings institutions generally may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to earnings of the previous two calendar years and current year-to-date earnings. A savings institution that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as the Company, that proposes to make a capital distribution must submit written notice to the OCC and FRB 30 days prior to such distribution. The OCC and FRB may object to the distribution during that 30-day period based on safety and soundness or other concerns. Savings institutions that desire to make a larger capital distribution, are under special restrictions, or are not, or would not be, sufficiently capitalized following a proposed capital distribution must obtain regulatory non-objection prior to making such a distribution.
The long-term ability of the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders is based primarily upon the ability of the Bank to make capital distributions to the Company. So long as the Bank remains well capitalized after each capital distribution (as evidenced by maintaining a Community Bank Leverage Ratio ("CBLR") greater than the required percentage), and operates in a safe and sound manner, it is management's belief that the OCC and FRB will continue to allow the Bank to distribute its earnings to the Company, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contractual Obligations
The Company, in the normal course of business, makes commitments to buy or sell assets, to extend credit, or to incur or fund liabilities. There have been no material changes in commitments, contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements from September 30, 2019. For additional information, see "Part II, Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contractual Obligations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019. We anticipate we will continue to have sufficient funds, through repayments and maturities of loans and securities, deposits and borrowings, to meet our current commitments.
The maximum balance of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding at any month-end during the nine months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.24 billion, and the average balance of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding during this period was $1.09 billion at a weighted average contractual rate of 1.83%. The balance of short-term FHLB borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2020 was $943.0 million, at a weighted average contractual rate of 1.17%. Short-term FHLB borrowings for this purpose are defined as those with maturity dates within the next 12 months.
Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiary are named defendants in various lawsuits and counter claims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of the currently pending suits had or are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, or future periods.
Capital
Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank per the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action ("PCA"). In September 2019, the regulatory agencies, including the OCC and FRB, adopted a final rule, effective January 1, 2020, creating the CBLR for institutions with total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion and that meet other qualifying criteria. The CBLR provides for a simple measure of capital adequacy for qualifying institutions. According to the final rule, qualifying institutions that elect to use the CBLR framework and that maintain a leverage ratio of greater than 9% will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the regulatory agencies' capital rules, and to have met the capital requirements for the well capitalized category under the agencies' PCA framework. In April 2020, the federal bank regulatory agencies announced the issuance of two interim final rules, effective immediately, to provide temporary relief to community banking organizations. Under the interim final rules, the CBLR requirement is a minimum of 8% for the remainder of calendar year 2020, 8.5% for calendar year 2021, and 9% thereafter. The Bank elected the CBLR framework during the current quarter. As of June 30, 2020, the Bank's CBLR was 12.4% and the Company's CBLR was 13.8%, which exceeded the minimum requirements.
