PART I
As used in this Form 10-K, unless we specify otherwise, "the Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. a Maryland corporation. "Capitol Federal Savings," and "the Bank," refer to Capitol Federal Savings Bank, a federal savings bank and the wholly-owned subsidiary of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc.
Item 1. Business
General
The Company is a Maryland corporation that was incorporated in April 2010. In December 2010, we completed our conversion from a mutual holding company form of organization to a stock form of organization ("the corporate reorganization"). The Company's common stock is traded on the Global Select tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol "CFFN."
The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is a federally chartered and insured savings bank headquartered in Topeka, Kansas. The Bank is examined and regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC"), its primary regulator, and its deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF"), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). We primarily serve the metropolitan areas of Topeka, Wichita, Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia and Salina, Kansas and a portion of the metropolitan area of greater Kansas City through 37 traditional and 10 in-store branches. The Company, as a savings and loan holding company, is examined and regulated by the FRB.
We have been, and intend to continue to be, a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. We attract retail deposits from the general public and invest those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. While our primary business is the origination of one- to four-family mortgage loans, we also purchase whole one- to four-family mortgage loans from correspondent lenders, originate consumer loans primarily secured by mortgages on one- to four-family residences, originate and participate in loans with other lenders that are secured by commercial or multi-family real estate, and invest in certain investment securities and mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") using funding from retail deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank Topeka ("FHLB") borrowings, and repurchase agreements. We offer a variety of deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms, which generally include savings accounts, money market accounts, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking accounts, and certificates of deposit with terms ranging from 91 days to 96 months. Our revenues are derived principally from interest on loans, MBS and investment securities.
The Company is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, including federal monetary and fiscal policies and federal regulation of financial institutions. Retail deposit balances are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing investment products, the level of personal income, and the personal rate of savings within our market areas. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for housing and other loans, our loan underwriting guidelines compared to those of our competitors, as well as interest rate pricing competition from other lending institutions.
Our executive offices are located at 700 South Kansas Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66603, and our telephone number at that address is (785) 235-1341.
Available Information
Our Internet website address is www.capfed.com. Financial information, including our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports can be obtained free of charge from our website. These reports are available on our website as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. These reports are also available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.
Market Area and Competition
Our corporate office is located in Topeka, Kansas. We currently have a network of 47 branches (37 traditional branches and 10 in-store branches) located in nine counties throughout Kansas and three counties in Missouri. We primarily serve the metropolitan areas of Topeka, Wichita, Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia, and Salina, Kansas and a portion of the metropolitan area of greater Kansas City. In addition to providing full service banking offices, we provide our customers mobile banking, telephone banking and bill payment services, and online banking and bill payment services. We also have a call center which operates on extended hours.
The Bank ranked second in deposit market share, at 7.23%, in the state of Kansas as reported in the June 30, 2014 FDIC "Summary of Deposits - Market Share Report." This represents a modest decrease from our deposit market share at June 30, 2013, which was 7.51%. The first and third ranked institutions at June 30, 2014 had a 7.77% and 5.28% deposit market share, respectively. Deposit market share is measured by total deposits, without consideration for type of deposit. We do not offer commercial deposit accounts, while many of our competitors have both commercial and retail deposits in their total deposit base. Some of our competitors also offer products and services that we do not, such as trust services and private banking, which may add to their total deposits. Consumers also have the ability to utilize online financial institutions and investment brokerages that are not confined to any specific market area. Management considers our well-established retail banking network together with our reputation for financial strength and customer service to be major factors in our success at attracting and retaining customers in our market areas.
The Bank consistently has been one of the top one- to four-family lenders with regard to loan origination volume in the state of Kansas. Through our strong relationships with real estate agents and marketing efforts which reflect our reputation and pricing, we attract mortgage loan business from walk-in customers, customers that apply online, and existing customers. Competition in originating one- to four-family mortgage loans primarily comes from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions, and mortgage bankers. Other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions, and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending.
Lending Practices and Underwriting Standards
General. Originating and purchasing loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties is the Bank's primary lending business, resulting in a loan concentration in residential first mortgage loans located in Kansas and Missouri. The Bank also originates consumer loans and construction loans secured by residential properties, and originates and participates in commercial and multi-family real estate loans and construction loans secured by multi-family or commercial real estate.
For a discussion of our market risk associated with loans see "Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk."
One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. The Bank originates and services conventional mortgage loans that are not guaranteed or insured by the federal government, and purchases one- to four-family loans, on a loan-by-loan basis, from a select group of correspondent lenders. The Bank previously originated Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") insured loan products and sold them servicing released to a private investor; however, the Bank has discontinued offering the FHA loan product due to the recent increases in mortgage insurance premiums on FHA loans, which makes the product less attractive to borrowers than a conventional loan with traditional private mortgage insurance.
Originated loans
New loans are originated through referrals from real estate brokers and builders, our marketing efforts, our reputation for customer service, and our existing and walk-in customers. While the Bank originates both adjustable and fixed-rate loans, our ability to originate loans is dependent upon customer demand for loans in our market areas. Demand is affected by the local housing market, competition, and the interest rate environment. During fiscal years 2014 and 2013, the Bank originated and refinanced $484.3 million and $849.9 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans, respectively.
Purchased loans
The Bank purchases one- to four-family loans, on a loan-by-loan basis, from a select group of correspondent lenders. Loan purchases enable the Bank to attain some geographic diversification in the loan portfolio. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had correspondent lending relationships in 27 states. During fiscal years 2014 and 2013, the Bank purchased $515.5 million and $585.0 million, respectively, of one- to four-family loans from correspondent lenders. We pay a premium of 0.50% to 1.0% of the loan balance to purchase these loans, and we pay 1.0% of the loan balance to purchase the servicing of these loans.
The Bank has an agreement with a third-party mortgage sub-servicer to provide loan servicing for loans originated by the Bank's correspondent lenders in certain states. The sub-servicer has experience servicing loans in the market areas in which we purchase loans and services the loans according to the Bank's servicing standards, which is intended to allow the Bank greater control over servicing and help maintain a standard of loan performance.
The Bank has also purchased one- to four-family loans from correspondent and nationwide lenders in bulk loan packages. The last bulk loan package purchased by the Bank was in August 2012. The servicing rights were generally retained by the lender/seller for the loans purchased from nationwide lenders; however, our sub-servicer services bulk loan packages purchased from nationwide lenders and certain correspondent lenders, when economically feasible. The servicing with nationwide lenders is governed by a servicing agreement, which outlines collection policies and procedures, as well as oversight requirements, such as servicer certifications attesting to and providing proof of compliance with the servicing agreement.
Underwriting
Full documentation to support an applicant's credit and income, and sufficient funds to cover all applicable fees and reserves at closing, are required on all loans. Loans are underwritten according to the "ability to repay" and "qualified mortgage" standards, as issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"), with total debt-to-income ratios not exceeding 43% of a borrower's verified income. Information pertaining to the creditworthiness of the borrower generally consists of a summary of the borrower's credit history, employment stability, sources of income, assets, net worth, and debt ratios. The value of the property must be supported by an appraisal report prepared in accordance with our appraisal policy by either a staff appraiser or a fee appraiser, both of which are independent of the loan origination function and who are approved by our Board of Directors.
Loans over $500 thousand must be underwritten by two of our highest class of underwriters. Any loan greater than $750 thousand must be approved by the Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), and loans over $1.5 million must be approved by our Board of Directors. For loans requiring ALCO and/or Board of Directors' approval, lending management is responsible for presenting to ALCO and/or the Board of Directors information about the creditworthiness of the borrower and the market value of the subject property.
The underwriting standards for loans purchased from correspondent and nationwide lenders are generally similar to the Bank's internal underwriting standards. The underwriting of correspondent loans is performed by the Bank's underwriters. Our standard contractual agreement with the lender/seller includes recourse options for any breach of representation or warranty with respect to the loans purchased. The Bank did not request any lenders/sellers to repurchase loans for breach of representation during fiscal year 2014.
Adjustable-rate loans
Current adjustable-rate one- to four-family mortgage loans originated by the Bank generally provide for a specified rate limit or cap on the periodic adjustment to the interest rate, as well as a specified maximum lifetime cap and minimum rate, or floor. As a consequence of using caps, the interest rates on these loans may not be as rate sensitive as our cost of funds. Negative amortization of principal is not allowed. For three- and five-year adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans, borrowers are qualified based on the principal, interest, tax and insurance payments at the initial interest rate plus the life of loan cap and the initial interest rate plus the first period cap, respectively. For seven-year ARM loans, borrowers are qualified based on the principal, interest, tax and insurance payments at the initial rate. After the initial three-, five-, or seven-year period, the interest rate resets annually and the new principal and interest payment is based on the new interest rate, remaining unpaid principal balance and term of the ARM loan. Our ARM loans are not automatically convertible into fixed-rate loans; however, we do allow borrowers to pay an endorsement fee to convert an ARM loan to a fixed-rate loan. ARM loans can
pose different credit risks than fixed-rate loans, primarily because as interest rates rise, the borrower's payment also rises, increasing the potential for default. This specific type of risk is known as repricing risk.
The Bank no longer offers an interest-only ARM product; however it still holds in its portfolio originated and purchased interest-only ARM loans. At the time of origination, these loans did not require principal payments for a period of up to 10 years. For originated interest-only ARM loans, borrowers were qualified based on a fully amortizing payment at the initial loan rate. The Bank was more restrictive on debt-to-income ratios and credit scores on originated interest-only ARM loans than on other ARM loans to offset the potential risk of payment shock at the time the loan rate resets and/or the principal and interest payments begin. At September 30, 2014, $52.8 million, or approximately 1% of our one- to four-family loan portfolio, consisted of non-amortizing interest-only ARM loans. The majority of these loans were purchased from nationwide lenders during fiscal year 2005.
Pricing
Our pricing strategy for first mortgage loan products includes setting interest rates based on secondary market prices and local competitor pricing for our local lending markets, and secondary market prices and national competitor pricing for our correspondent lending markets. ARM loans are offered with a three-year, five-year, or seven-year term to the initial repricing date. After the initial period, the interest rate for each ARM loan generally adjusts annually for the remainder of the term of the loan. Currently, new originations are tied to London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR"), however, other indices have been used in the past. During fiscal year 2014, the average daily spread between the Bank's 30-year fixed-rate one- to four-family loan offer rate, with no points paid by the borrower, and the 10-year Treasury rate was approximately 160 basis points, while the average daily spread between the Bank's 15-year fixed-rate one- to four-family loan offer rate and the 10-year Treasury rate was approximately 70 basis points.
Mortgage Insurance
For a mortgage with a loan-to-value ("LTV") ratio in excess of 80% at the time of origination, private mortgage insurance ("PMI") is required in order to reduce the Bank's loss exposure. The Bank will lend up to 97% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price for one- to four-family loans, provided PMI is obtained. Management continuously monitors the claim-paying ability of our PMI counterparties. We believe our PMI counterparties have the ability to meet potential claim obligations we may file in the foreseeable future.
Loan endorsement program
In an effort to offset the impact of repayments and to retain our customers, existing loan customers, including customers whose loans were purchased from a correspondent lender, have the opportunity, for a cash fee, to endorse their original loan terms to current loan terms being offered. Customers whose loans have been sold to third parties, or have been delinquent on their contractual loan payments during the previous 12 months, or are currently in bankruptcy, are ineligible to participate in the program. The Bank does not solicit customers for this program, but considers it a valuable opportunity to retain customers who, based on our initial underwriting criteria, could likely obtain similar financing elsewhere. During fiscal years 2014 and 2013, we endorsed $36.4 million and $487.0 million of one- to four-family loans, respectively.
Repayment
The Bank's one- to four-family loans are primarily fully amortizing fixed-rate or ARM loans. The contractual maturities for fixed-rate loans can be up to 30 years and the contractual maturities for ARM loans can be up to 40 years. Our one- to four-family loans are generally not assumable and do not contain prepayment penalties. A "due on sale" clause, allowing the Bank to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the secured property, is generally included in the security instrument.
Loan sales
One- to four-family loans may be sold on a bulk basis for portfolio restructuring or on a flow basis as loans are originated to reduce interest rate risk and/or maintain a certain liquidity position. Loans originated by the Bank are generally eligible for sale in the secondary market. The Bank generally retains the servicing on these loans. ALCO determines the criteria upon which one- to four-family loans are to be originated as held-for-sale or held-for-investment. One- to four-family loans originated as held-for-sale are to be sold in accordance with policies set forth by ALCO. One- to four-family loans originated as held-for-investment are generally not sold unless a specific segment of the portfolio is identified for asset restructuring purposes. The Bank did not sell any conventional one- to four-family loans during fiscal years 2014 or 2013.
Construction Lending. The Bank originates and purchases construction-to-permanent loans primarily secured by one- to four-family residential real estate, as well as by multi-family dwellings and commercial real estate. The underwriting details for multi-family dwelling and commercial real estate are presented in the "Multi-family and Commercial Lending" below. At September 30, 2014, we had $106.8 million in construction-to-permanent loans outstanding, including undisbursed loan funds, representing approximately 2% of our total loan portfolio. Of the $106.8 million in construction-to-permanent loans outstanding at September 30, 2014, $72.1 million, or approximately 68%, related to one- to four-family residential real estate.
The majority of the one- to four-family construction loans are secured by property located within the Bank's Kansas City market area. Construction loans are obtained by homeowners who will occupy the property when construction is complete. Construction loans to builders for speculative purposes are not permitted. The application process includes submission of complete plans, specifications, and costs of the project to be constructed. All construction loans are manually underwritten using the Bank's internal underwriting standards.
The Bank's one- to four-family construction-to-permanent loan program combines the construction loan and the permanent loan into one loan allowing the borrower to secure the same interest rate throughout the construction period and the permanent loan. The loan products and interest rate offered on the one- to four-family construction-to-permanent loan program are the same as what is offered for non-construction one- to four-family loans. The loan term is longer than the non-construction one- to four-family loans due to consideration for the construction period, which is generally between 12 and 18 months.
Construction draw requests and the supporting documentation are reviewed and approved by management. The Bank also performs regular documented inspections of the construction project to ensure the funds are being used for the intended purpose and the project is being completed according to the plans and specifications provided. The Bank charges a 1% fee at closing, based on the loan amount, for these administrative requirements. Interest is not capitalized during the construction period, it is billed and collected monthly based on the amount of funds disbursed. Once the construction period is complete, the payment method is changed from interest-only to an amortized principal and interest payment for the remaining term of the loan.
Consumer Lending. The Bank offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, home improvement loans, auto loans, and loans secured by savings deposits. The Bank also originates a very limited amount of unsecured loans. The Bank does not originate any consumer loans on an indirect basis, such as contracts purchased from retailers of goods or services which have extended credit to their customers. All consumer loans are originated in the Bank's market areas. At September 30, 2014, our consumer loan portfolio totaled $135.0 million, or approximately 2% of our total loan portfolio.
The majority of the consumer loan portfolio is comprised of home equity lines of credit which have interest rates that can adjust monthly based upon changes in the Prime rate, to a maximum of 18%. For the majority of the home equity lines of credit, the Bank has the first mortgage or the Bank is in the first lien position. Home equity lines of credit may be originated up to 90% of the value of the property securing the loan if no first mortgage exists, or up to 90% of the value of the property securing the loans if taking into consideration an existing first mortgage. Approximately 60%, or $65.3 million, of our home equity lines at September 30, 2014 were originated with a payment requirement of 1.5% of the outstanding loan balance per month, but have no stated term-to-maturity and no repayment period. Repaid principal may be re-advanced at any time, not to exceed the original credit limit of the loan. Approximately 37%, or $40.1 million, of our home equity lines at September 30, 2014 were originated with a seven year draw period, a 10 year repayment term and typically a payment requirement of 1.5% of the outstanding loan balance per month during the draw period, with an amortizing payment during the repayment period. Repaid principal may be re-advanced at any time during the draw period, not to exceed the original credit limit of the loan. We also offer interest-only home equity lines of credit. These loans have a maximum term of 12 months and require monthly payments of accrued interest, and a balloon payment at maturity. At September 30, 2014, approximately 3%, or $3.9 million, of our home equity lines were interest-only. Closed-end home equity loans, which totaled $21.2 million at September 30, 2014, may be originated up to 95% of the value of the property securing the loans if taking into consideration an existing first mortgage, or the lesser of up to $40 thousand or 25% of the value of the property securing the loan if no first mortgage exists. The term-to-maturity for closed-end home equity loans in the first lien position may be up to 10 years, or may be up to 20 years for loans in the second lien position. Other consumer loan terms vary according to the type of collateral and the length of the contract. Home equity loans, including lines of credit and closed-end loans, comprised approximately 97% of our consumer loan portfolio, or $130.5 million, at September 30, 2014; of that amount, 84% was adjustable-rate.
The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of the applicant's ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity or reprice more frequently, usually without periodic caps, which reduces our exposure to credit risk and changes in interest rates, and usually carry higher rates of interest than do one- to four-family loans. However, consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do one- to four-family loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. Management believes that offering consumer loan products helps to expand and create stronger ties to our existing customer base by increasing the number of customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities.
Multi-family and Commercial Lending. At September 30, 2014, the Bank's multi-family and commercial loans, including those that were in the construction period, totaled $110.4 million ($97.1 million net of undisbursed loan funds), or approximately 2% of our total loan portfolio. These loans were originated by the Bank or were in participation with a lead bank, and are secured primarily by multi-family dwellings or commercial real estate. The Bank also originates or participates with a lead bank in construction loans related to multi-family dwellings and commercial real estate.
Multi-family and commercial real estate loans and multi-family and commercial real estate construction loans are granted based on the income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantors. At the time of origination, LTV ratios on these loans cannot exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loans. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the operation of the property less all operating expenses, must be in excess of the required payments related to the outstanding debt (debt service coverage ratio) at the time of origination. The Bank generally requires a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.25 times the required payments related to outstanding debt at the time of origination. The Bank generally requires personal guarantees of the borrowers covering a portion of the debt in addition to the security property as collateral for these loans. Appraisals on properties securing these loans are performed by independent state certified fee appraisers. These loans are originated with either a fixed or adjustable interest rate. The interest rate on ARM loans is based on a variety of indices, generally determined through negotiation with the borrower or determined by the lead bank. While maximum maturities may extend to 30 years, these loans frequently have shorter maturities and may not be fully amortizing, requiring balloon payments of unamortized principal at maturity.
We generally do not maintain a tax or insurance escrow account for multi-family or commercial real estate loans. In order to monitor the adequacy of cash flows on income-producing properties with a principal balance of $1.5 million or more, the borrower is notified annually to provide financial information including rental rates and income, maintenance costs, and an update of real estate property tax payments, as well as personal financial information for the guarantors.
Our multi-family and commercial real estate loans are generally large dollar loans and involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family loans. Such loans typically involve large balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Because payments on these loans are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the economy or the real estate market. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, or if leases are not obtained or renewed, the borrower's ability to repay the loan may become impaired.

Asset Quality
The Bank's traditional underwriting guidelines have provided the Bank with generally low delinquencies and low levels of non-performing assets compared to national levels. Of particular importance is the complete and full documentation required for each loan the Bank originates or purchases. One- to four-family owner occupied loans are underwritten according to the "ability to repay" and "qualified mortgage" standards, as issued by the CFPB, with total debt-to-income ratios not exceeding 43% of the borrower's verified income. This allows the Bank to make an informed credit decision based upon a thorough assessment of the borrower's ability to repay the loan. A full credit analysis is also performed on multi-family and commercial real estate loans taking into consideration property cash flows, debt service ratios, stress testing, borrowing entity experience, guarantor strength, demographic research of the project, global cash flows when appropriate, and the appraisal information. The Bank performs ongoing monitoring of the multi-family and commercial real estate loans with a loan balance in excess of $1.5 million to identify any potential risk.
For one- to four-family loans and consumer loans, when a borrower fails to make a loan payment within 15 days after the due date, a late charge is assessed and a notice is mailed. Collection personnel review all delinquent loan accounts more than 16 days past due. Attempts to contact the borrower occur by personal letter and, if no response is received, by telephone, with the purpose of establishing repayment arrangements for the borrower to bring the loan current. Repayment arrangements must be approved by a designated bank employee. For residential mortgage loans serviced by the Bank, beginning at approximately the 31st day of delinquency, and again at approximately the 50th day of delinquency, information notices are mailed to borrowers to inform them of the availability of payment assistance programs. Borrowers are encouraged to contact the Bank to initiate the process of reviewing such opportunities. Once a loan becomes 90 days delinquent, assuming a loss mitigation solution is not actively in process, a demand letter is issued requiring the loan be brought current or foreclosure procedures will be implemented. Generally, when a loan becomes 120 days delinquent, and an acceptable repayment plan or loss mitigation solution has neither been established nor is in the process of being negotiated, the loan is forwarded to legal counsel to initiate foreclosure. We also monitor whether borrowers who have filed for bankruptcy are meeting their obligation to pay the mortgage debt in accordance with the terms of the bankruptcy petition.
For purchased loans serviced by a third party, we monitor delinquencies using reports received from the servicers. We monitor these servicer reports to ensure that the servicer is upholding the terms of the servicing agreement. The reports generally provide total principal and interest due and length of delinquency, and are used to prepare monthly management reports and perform delinquent loan trend analysis. Management also utilizes information from the servicers to monitor property valuations and identify the need to charge-off loan balances. The servicers handle collection efforts per the terms of the servicing agreement.

The table below presents the Company's non-performing loans and OREO at the dates indicated. Non-performing loans are loans that are 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure and nonaccrual loans less than 90 days delinquent but required to be reported as nonaccrual pursuant to regulatory reporting requirements, even if the loans are current. The balance of loans that are current or 30 to 89 days delinquent but required by regulatory reporting requirements to be reported as nonaccrual was $8.8 million at September 30, 2014. At all dates presented, there were no loans 90 or more days delinquent that were still accruing interest. Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and OREO. OREO primarily includes assets acquired in settlement of loans. Over the past 12 months, OREO properties were owned by the Bank, on average, for approximately three months before the properties were sold.

At September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, this amount was comprised of $1.1 million, $1.1 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, of loans that were 30 to 89 days delinquent and were reported as such, and $7.7 million, $5.9 million, and $11.2 million, respectively, of loans that were current. |

Of the $7.1 million of bulk purchased one-to four-family loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure as of September 30, 2014, 94% were originated in calendar year 2004 or 2005. Of the $7.9 million of originated one- to four-family loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure as of September 30, 2014, 70% of the loans were originated in calendar years 2003 to 2009.
Once a one- to four-family loan is generally 180 days delinquent, a new collateral value is obtained through an appraisal, less estimated selling costs and anticipated PMI receipts. Any loss amounts identified as a result of this review are charged-off. At September 30, 2014, $12.3 million, or 78%, of the one-to four-family loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure had been individually evaluated for loss and any related losses have been charged-off.
The amount of interest income on nonaccrual loans and troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") as of September 30, 2014 included in interest income was $1.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2014. The amount of additional interest income that would have been recorded on nonaccrual loans and TDRs as of September 30, 2014, if they had performed in accordance with their original terms, was $454 thousand for the year ended September 30, 2014.
The following table presents the top 13 states where the properties securing our one- to four-family loans are located and the corresponding balance of loans 30 to 89 days delinquent, 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure, and weighted average LTV ratios for loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure at September 30, 2014. 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. At September 30, 2014, potential losses, after taking into consideration anticipated PMI proceeds and estimated selling costs, have been charged-off.

Troubled Debt Restructurings. For borrowers experiencing financial difficulties, the Bank may grant a concession to the borrower. Generally, the Bank grants a short-term payment concession to borrowers who are experiencing a temporary cash flow problem. The most frequently used concession is to reduce the monthly payment amount for a period of 6 to 12 months, often by requiring payments of only interest and escrow during this period, resulting in an extension of the maturity date of the loan. For more severe situations requiring long-term solutions, the Bank also offers interest rate reductions to currently-offered rates and the capitalization of delinquent interest and/or escrow resulting in an extension of the maturity date of the loan. The Bank does not forgive principal or interest, nor does it commit to lend additional funds, except for situations generally involving the capitalization of delinquent interest and/or escrow not to exceed the original loan balance, to these borrowers. See "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for additional information related to TDRs.
The following table presents the Company's TDRs, based on accrual status, at the dates indicated. At September 30, 2014, $22.9 million of TDRs were included in the ACL formula analysis model and $69 thousand of the ACL was related to these loans. The remaining $15.1 million of TDRs at September 30, 2014 were individually evaluated for loss and any potential losses have been charged-off.

Impaired Loans. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized in the period collected unless the ultimate collection of principal is considered doubtful. The unpaid principal balance of loans reported as impaired at September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $56.3 million, $69.4 million and $70.5 million, respectively. See "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" for additional information related to impaired loans.
Classified Assets. In accordance with the Bank's asset classification policy, management regularly reviews the problem assets in the Bank's portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification. Asset classifications are defined as follows:
| |
• | Special mention - These assets are performing assets on which known information about the collateral pledged or the possible credit problems of the borrower(s) have caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower(s) to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the non-performing loan categories. |
| |
• | Substandard - An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
| |
• | Doubtful - Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent as those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts and conditions and values highly questionable and improbable. |
| |
• | Loss - Assets classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets on the books is not warranted. |
The following table sets forth the recorded investment in assets, classified as special mention or substandard, at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, there were no loans classified as doubtful, and all loans classified as loss were fully charged-off.

Allowance for credit losses and provision for credit losses. Management maintains an ACL to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio based on ongoing quarterly assessments of the loan portfolio. Our ACL methodology considers a number of factors including the trend and composition of delinquent loans, results of foreclosed property and short sale transactions, charge-off trends, the current status and trends of local and national economies (particularly levels of unemployment), trends and current conditions in the real estate and housing markets, and loan portfolio growth and concentrations. See "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies – Allowance for Credit Losses" for a full discussion of our ACL methodology.
At September 30, 2014, our ACL was $9.2 million, or 0.15% of the total loan portfolio and 37.0% of total non-performing loans. This compares with an ACL of $8.8 million, or 0.15% of the total loan portfolio and 33.4% of total non-performing loans as of September 30, 2013. The ACL is maintained through provisions for credit losses which are either charged or credited to income. The provision for credit losses is established after considering the results of management's quarterly assessment of the ACL. For the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.4 million. The provision in the current fiscal year takes into account net charge-offs of $1.0 million.

(1) | As a result of the implementation of a new loan charge-off policy in January 2012 in accordance with regulatory requirements, $3.5 million of specific valuation allowances ("SVAs") were charged-off and are reflected in the year ended September 30, 2012 activity. These charge-offs did not impact the provision for credit losses, and therefore had no additional income statement impact as the amounts were expensed in previous periods. Excluding the $3.5 million of SVAs that were charged off in January 2012, ACL to net charge-offs would have been 3.8x for fiscal year 2012. Management believes it is important to present this ratio excluding the $3.5 million of SVAs charged-off for comparability purposes. |

Investment Activities
Federally chartered savings institutions have the authority to invest in various types of liquid assets, including U.S. Treasury obligations; securities of various federal agencies; government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"), including callable agency securities; municipal bonds; certain certificates of deposit of insured banks and savings institutions; certain bankers' acceptances; repurchase agreements; and federal funds. Subject to various restrictions, federally chartered savings institutions may also invest their assets in investment grade commercial paper, corporate debt securities, and mutual funds whose assets conform to the investments that a federally chartered savings institution is otherwise authorized to make directly. As a member of the FHLB, the Bank is required to maintain a specified investment in FHLB stock. See "Regulation and Supervision – Federal Home Loan Bank System," "Capitol Federal Savings Bank," and "Office of the Comptroller of the Currency" for a discussion of additional restrictions on our investment activities.
The Chief Investment Officer has the primary responsibility for the management of the Bank's investment portfolio, subject to the direction and guidance of ALCO. The Chief Investment Officer considers various factors when making decisions, including the marketability, maturity, and tax consequences of the proposed investment. The composition of the investment portfolio will be affected by various market conditions, including the slope of the yield curve, the level of interest rates, the impact on the Bank's interest rate risk, the trend of net deposit flows, the volume of loan sales, the anticipated demand for funds via withdrawals, repayments of borrowings, and loan originations and purchases.
The general objectives of the Bank's investment portfolio are to provide liquidity when loan demand is high, to assist in maintaining earnings when loan demand is low, and to maximize earnings while satisfactorily managing liquidity risk, interest rate risk, reinvestment risk, and credit risk. The portfolio is also intended to create a steady stream of cash flows that can be redeployed into other assets as the Bank grows the loan portfolio, or reinvested into higher yielding assets should interest rates rise. Liquidity may increase or decrease depending upon the availability of funds and comparative yields on investments in relation to the return on loans. Cash flow projections are reviewed regularly and updated to assure that adequate liquidity is maintained.
We classify securities as either trading, available-for-sale ("AFS"), or held-to-maturity ("HTM") at the date of purchase. Securities that are purchased and held principally for resale in the near future are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in the consolidated statements of income. AFS securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity, net of deferred income taxes. HTM securities are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount. We have both the ability and intent to hold our HTM securities to maturity.
On a quarterly basis, management conducts a formal review of securities for the presence of an other-than-temporary impairment. Management assesses whether an other-than-temporary impairment is present when the fair value of a security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. For such securities, other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred if the Company intends to sell the security, if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or if the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost. Management does not believe any other-than-temporary impairments existed at September 30, 2014.
Investment Securities. Our investment securities portfolio consists primarily of securities issued by GSEs (primarily Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") and the Federal Home Loan Banks) and taxable and non-taxable municipal bonds. At September 30, 2014, our investment securities portfolio totaled $590.9 million. The portfolio consisted of securities classified as either HTM or AFS. See "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3 – Securities" and "Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Investment Securities" for additional information.
During fiscal year 2014, our investment securities portfolio decreased $149.4 million from $740.3 million at September 30, 2013 to $590.9 million at September 30, 2014. The decrease in the balance was primarily a result of maturities and calls of $289.6 million, partially offset by purchases of $138.9 million. The cash flows from calls and maturities of investment securities that were not reinvested into the portfolio were used largely to fund loan growth, pay dividends, and repurchase Company stock. The purchases during fiscal year 2014 were fixed-rate and had a weighted average yield of 1.04% and a weighted average life ("WAL") of approximately 2.8 years at the time of purchase.
Mortgage-Backed Securities. At September 30, 2014, our MBS portfolio totaled $1.80 billion. The portfolio consisted of securities classified as either HTM or AFS. Our MBS portfolio consists primarily of securities issued by GSEs. The principal and interest payments of MBS issued by GSEs are collateralized by the underlying mortgage assets with principal and interest payments guaranteed by the agencies. The underlying mortgage assets are conforming mortgages that comply with FNMA and FHLMC underwriting guidelines, as applicable, and are therefore not considered subprime. See "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3 – Securities" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Financial Condition – Mortgage-Backed Securities" for additional information.
During fiscal year 2014, our MBS portfolio decreased $245.2 million, from $2.05 billion at September 30, 2013, to $1.80 billion at September 30, 2014. During fiscal year 2014, $150.7 million of MBS were purchased of which $129.0 million, or approximately 86%, were fixed-rate and the remaining $21.7 million, or approximately 14%, were adjustable-rate. The cash flows from MBS that were not reinvested into the portfolio were used largely to fund loan growth, pay dividends, and repurchase Company stock.
MBS generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the servicing fee retained by the servicer and the cost of payment guarantees or credit enhancements that reduce credit risk. However, MBS are generally more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize certain borrowings and public unit deposits of the Bank. In general, MBS issued or guaranteed by FNMA and FHLMC are weighted at no more than 20% for risk-based capital purposes compared to the 50% risk-weighting assigned to most non-securitized one- to four-family loans.
When securities are purchased for a price other than par value, the difference between the price paid and par is accreted to or amortized against the interest earned over the life of the security, depending on whether a discount or premium to par is paid. Movements in interest rates affect prepayment rates which, in turn, affect the average lives of MBS and the speed at which the discount or premium is accreted to or amortized against earnings.
At September 30, 2014, the MBS portfolio included $313.0 million of collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"). CMOs are special types of securities in which the stream of principal and interest payments on the underlying mortgages or MBS are used to create investment classes with different maturities and, in some cases, different amortization schedules, as well as a residual interest, with each such class possessing different risk characteristics. We do not purchase residual interest bonds.
While MBS issued or backed by FNMA and FHLMC carry a reduced credit risk compared to whole mortgage loans, these securities remain subject to the risk that a fluctuating interest rate environment, along with other factors such as the geographic distribution of the underlying mortgage loans, may alter the prepayment rate of the underlying mortgage loans and consequently affect both the prepayment speed and value of the securities. As noted above, the Bank, on some transactions, pays a premium over par value for MBS purchased. Large premiums could cause significant negative yield adjustments due to accelerated prepayments on the underlying mortgages. The balance of net premiums on our portfolio of MBS was $18.6 million at September 30, 2014.
The following table sets forth the composition of our investment and MBS portfolios at the dates indicated. At September 30, 2014, our investment securities portfolio did not contain securities of any issuer with an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our stockholders' equity, excluding those issued by GSEs.

Sources of Funds
General. Our 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.
Deposits. We offer a variety of retail deposit accounts having a wide range of interest rates and terms. Our deposits consist of savings accounts, money market accounts, interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking accounts, and certificates of deposit. We rely primarily upon competitive pricing policies, marketing, and customer service to attract and retain deposits. The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and prevailing interest rates, and competition. The variety of deposit accounts we offer has allowed us to utilize strategic pricing to obtain funds and to respond with flexibility to changes in consumer demand. We seek to manage the pricing of our deposits in keeping with our asset and liability management, liquidity, and profitability objectives. Based on our experience, we believe that our deposits are stable sources of funds. Despite this stability, our ability to attract and maintain these deposits and the rates paid on them has been, and will continue to be, significantly affected by market conditions.
The Board of Directors has authorized the utilization of brokers to obtain deposits as a source of funds. The Bank has entered into several relationships with nationally recognized wholesale deposit brokerage firms to accept deposits from these firms. Depending on market conditions, the Bank may use brokered deposits to fund asset growth and gather deposits that may help to manage interest rate risk. At September 30, 2014, the rates paid on brokered deposits plus fees were generally higher than the rates offered by the FHLB on advances and rates paid on retail deposits. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the balance of brokered deposits was $41.9 million and $63.7 million, respectively. No brokered deposits were acquired during fiscal year 2014, and all existing brokered deposits are scheduled to mature by the end of May 2015.
The Board of Directors also has authorized the utilization of public unit deposits as a source of funds. In order to qualify to obtain such deposits, the Bank must have a branch in each county in which it collects public unit deposits and, by law, must pledge securities as collateral for all such balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the balance of public unit deposits was $258.6 million and $237.1 million, respectively.
As of September 30, 2014, the Bank's policy allows for combined brokered and public unit deposits up to 15% of total deposits. At September 30, 2014, the balance of brokered and public unit deposits was approximately 6% of total deposits.
Borrowings. We utilize borrowings when, at the time of the borrowing, the proceeds can be invested at a positive rate spread relative to current asset yields, when we desire additional capacity to fund loan demand, or when they help us meet our asset and liability management objectives. Historically, our term borrowings have consisted primarily of FHLB advances. FHLB advances may be made pursuant to several different credit programs, each of which has its own interest rate, maturity, repayment, and convertible features, if any. All FHLB advances at September 30, 2014 were fixed-rate advances. The Bank supplements FHLB borrowings with repurchase agreements, wherein the Bank enters into agreements with approved counterparties to sell securities under agreements to repurchase them. These agreements are recorded as financing transactions as the Bank maintains effective control over the transferred securities. The Bank's internal policy limits total borrowings to 55% of total assets.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Bank implemented a leverage strategy ("daily leverage strategy") to increase earnings. The daily leverage strategy involves borrowing up to $2.10 billion against the Bank's FHLB line of credit and currently consists of two leverage tiers. The first tier of $800.0 million is intended to remain borrowed against the line of credit for an extended period of time. The second tier of $1.30 billion is borrowed in the first days of each quarter and paid off prior to each quarter end. The proceeds of the borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings, is deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
At September 30, 2014, we had $2.58 billion of FHLB advances, at par, outstanding, and $800.0 million against the FHLB line of credit. Total FHLB borrowings are secured by certain qualifying loans pursuant to a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB and certain securities. At September 30, 2014, we had securities with a fair value of $488.4 million pledged as collateral for FHLB borrowings. Per the FHLB's lending guidelines, total FHLB borrowings cannot exceed 40% of total Bank assets without the pre-approval of the FHLB president. In July 2014, the president of the FHLB approved an increase in the Bank's borrowing limit to 55% of total assets for one year as FHLB borrowings have been and will be in excess of 40% of total Bank assets at certain points of time due to the daily leverage strategy.
At September 30, 2014, repurchase agreements totaled $220.0 million, or approximately 2% of total assets. The Bank may enter into additional repurchase agreements as management deems appropriate, not to exceed 15% of total assets, and subject to the 55% limit on total borrowings discussed above. The securities underlying the agreements continue to be carried in the Bank's securities portfolio. At September 30, 2014, we had securities with a fair value of $247.3 million pledged as collateral on repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are made at mutually agreed upon terms between counterparties and the Bank. The use of repurchase agreements allows for the diversification of funding sources and the use of securities that were not being leveraged as collateral.
The following table sets forth certain information relating to the category of borrowings for which the average short-term balance outstanding during the period was at least 30% of stockholders' equity at the end of the period shown. There were no short-term borrowings outstanding that were at least 30% of stockholders' equity during fiscal years 2013 and 2012. The maximum balance, average balance, and weighted average interest rate during fiscal year 2014 reflect borrowings that were scheduled to mature within one year at any month-end during fiscal year 2014.

Subsidiary and Other Activities
As a federally chartered savings bank, we are permitted by federal regulations to invest up to 2% of our Bank assets, as reported to the OCC, or $197.6 million at September 30, 2014, in the stock of, or as unsecured loans to, service corporation subsidiaries. We may invest an additional 1% of our assets, or $98.8 million at September 30, 2014, in service corporations where such additional funds are used for inner-city or community development purposes.
At September 30, 2014, the Bank had one subsidiary, Capitol Funds, Inc., which had a capital balance of $7.0 million. Capitol Funds, Inc. has a wholly owned subsidiary, Capitol Federal Mortgage Reinsurance Company ("CFMRC"). CFMRC serves as a reinsurance company for the PMI companies the Bank uses in its normal course of operations. CFRMC stopped writing new business for the Bank in January 2010. CFMRC provides mortgage reinsurance on certain one- to four-family loans in the Bank's portfolio. During fiscal year 2014, Capitol Funds, Inc. reported consolidated net income of $77 thousand which included net income of $80 thousand from CFMRC.
Regulation and Supervision
Set forth below is a description of certain laws and regulations that are applicable to Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. and the Bank.
General. On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") was signed into law. This law significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and affected the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. See additional information regarding the Dodd-Frank Act in "Item 1A. Risk Factors – We operate in a highly regulated industry, which limits the manner and scope of our business activities and will continue to increase our operational and compliance costs."
The OCC has extensive enforcement authority over all federal savings associations, including the Bank, and the FRB has enforcement authority over their holding companies, including Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. This enforcement authority includes, among other things, the ability to assess civil monetary penalties, to issue cease-and-desist or removal orders, and to initiate injunctive actions. In general, these enforcement actions may be initiated for violations of laws and regulations and
unsafe or unsound practices. Other actions or inactions may provide the basis for enforcement action, including misleading or untimely reports filed. Except under certain circumstances, public disclosure of final enforcement actions by the OCC or the FRB is required by law.
Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. The purpose and powers of the Company are to pursue any or all of the lawful objectives of a savings and loan holding company and to exercise any of the powers accorded to a savings and loan holding company.
If the Bank fails the Qualified Thrift Lender test, within one year of such failure the Company must register as, and will become subject to, the restrictions applicable to bank holding companies, unless the Bank requalifies within the year. The activities authorized for a bank holding company are more limited than are the activities authorized for a savings and loan holding company. If the Bank fails the test a second time, the Company must immediately register as, and become subject to, the restrictions applicable to a bank holding company. For additional information, see "Regulation and Supervision – Office of the Comptroller of the Currency."
The Company must obtain regulatory approval before acquiring control of any other depository institution.
Capitol Federal Savings Bank. The Bank, as a federally chartered savings bank, is subject to regulation and oversight by the OCC extending to all aspects of its operations. This regulation of the Bank is intended for the protection of depositors and not for the purpose of protecting the Company's stockholders. The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of regulatory capital and is subject to some limitations on capital distributions to the Company. The Bank also is subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC, which insures the deposits of the Bank to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The investment and lending authority of the Bank is prescribed by federal laws and regulations and the Bank is prohibited from engaging in any activities not permitted by such laws and regulations.
As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank is required to meet a Qualified Thrift Lender test. This test requires the Bank to have at least 65% of its portfolio assets, as defined by statute, in qualified thrift investments on a monthly average for nine out of every 12 months on a rolling basis. Under an alternative test, the Bank may maintain 60% of its assets in those assets specified in Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under either test, the Bank is required to maintain a significant portion of its assets in residential housing related loans and investments. An institution that fails to meet the Qualified Thrift Lender test must become subject to certain restrictions on its operations, unless within one year it meets the test, and thereafter remains a Qualified Thrift Lender. These restrictions include a prohibition against capital distributions, except, with the prior approval of both the OCC and the FRB, for the purpose of paying obligations of a company controlling the institution. An institution that fails the test a second time must be subjected to the restrictions. Any savings and loan holding company of an institution that fails the test and does not re-qualify within a year must become subject to the same statute and regulations as a bank holding company. Three years after failing the test, an institution must divest all investments and cease all activities not permissible for both a national bank and a savings association. Failure to meet the Qualified Thrift Lender test is a statutory violation subject to enforcement action. As of September 30, 2014, the Bank met the Qualified Thrift Lender test.
The Bank is subject to a 35% of total assets limit on non-real estate consumer loans, commercial paper and corporate debt securities, and a 20% limit on commercial non-mortgage loans. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had 0.1% of its assets in non-real estate consumer loans, commercial paper and corporate debt securities and 0% of its assets in commercial non-mortgage loans.
The Bank's relationship with its depositors and borrowers is regulated to a great extent by federal laws and regulations, especially in such matters as the ownership of savings accounts and the form and content of mortgage requirements. In addition, the branching authority of the Bank is regulated by the OCC. The Bank is generally authorized to branch nationwide.
The Bank is subject to a statutory lending limit on aggregate loans to one person or a group of persons combined because of certain common interests. That limit is equal to 15% of our unimpaired capital and surplus, plus an additional 10% for loans fully secured by readily marketable collateral. At September 30, 2014, the Bank's lending limit under this restriction was $196.3 million. The Bank has no loans or loan relationships in excess of its lending limit. Total loan commitments and loans outstanding to the Bank's largest borrower group totaled $69.3 million at September 30, 2014, all of which were current.
The Bank is subject to periodic examinations by the OCC. During these examinations, the examiners may require the Bank to increase the ACL and/or recognize additional charge-offs based on their judgments, which can impact our capital and earnings. As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank is subject to a semi-annual assessment, based upon its total assets, to fund the operations of the OCC.
The OCC has adopted guidelines establishing safety and soundness standards on such matters as loan underwriting and documentation, asset quality, earnings standards, internal controls and audit systems, interest rate risk exposure, and compensation and other employee benefits. Any institution regulated by the OCC that fails to comply with these standards must submit a compliance plan.
Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC. The DIF of the FDIC insures deposit accounts in the Bank up to applicable limits. The FDIC assesses deposit insurance premiums on each FDIC-insured institution quarterly based on annualized rates for one of four risk categories, applied to its assessment base. Under the FDIC's rules, an institution's assessment base is equal to average total assets minus its average tangible equity (defined as Tier 1 capital). An institution with total assets of less than $10 billion is assigned to one of four risk categories based on its capital, supervisory ratings, and other factors. Well-capitalized institutions that are financially sound with only a few minor weaknesses are assigned to Risk Category I. Risk Categories II, III and IV present progressively greater risks to the DIF. A range of initial base assessment rates applies to each Risk Category, adjusted downward based on unsecured debt issued by the institution and, except for an institution in Risk Category I, adjusted upward if the institution's brokered deposits exceed 10% of its domestic deposits, to produce total base assessment rates. Total base assessment rates currently range from 2.5 to 9.0 basis points for Risk Category I, 9.0 to 24 basis points for Risk Category II, 18 to 33 basis points for Risk Category III, and 30 to 45 basis points for Risk Category IV, all subject to further adjustment upward if the institution holds more than a de minimis amount of unsecured debt issued by another FDIC-insured institution. An institution with assets of $10 billion or more is assessed under a complex scorecard method employing many factors. The FDIC may increase or decrease its rates by 2.0 basis points without further rulemaking. In an emergency, the FDIC may also impose a special assessment. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, the Bank paid $4.1 million in FDIC premiums.
FDIC-insured institutions are required to pay an additional quarterly assessment called the FICO assessment in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. This assessment rate is adjusted quarterly to reflect changes in the assessment base, which is average total assets less average tangible equity, and is the same base as used for the deposit insurance assessment. These assessments are expected to continue until the bonds mature in the years 2017 through 2019. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, the Bank paid $483 thousand in FICO assessments.
Transactions with Affiliates. Transactions between the Bank and its affiliates are required to be on terms as favorable to the institution as transactions with non-affiliates, and certain of these transactions are restricted to a percentage of the Bank's capital, and, in the case of loans, require eligible collateral in specified amounts. In addition, the Bank may not lend to any affiliate engaged in activities not permissible for a bank holding company or purchase or invest in the securities of affiliates.
Regulatory Capital Requirements. The Bank is required to maintain specified levels of regulatory capital under regulations of the OCC. OCC regulations state that to be adequately capitalized, an institution must have a leverage ratio of at least 4.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4.0% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8.0%. To be well capitalized, an institution must have a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0% and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10.0%.
The term leverage ratio means the ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets. The term Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio means the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets. The term total risk-based capital ratio means the ratio of total risk-based capital to total risk-weighted assets.
Tier 1 capital generally consists of common stockholders' equity, retained earnings, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and minority interest in the equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, excluding goodwill and other non-qualifying intangible assets. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had $7.0 million of accumulated gains on AFS securities, net of deferred taxes, which was subtracted from Tier 1 capital.
Total risk-based capital consists of the sum of an institution's Tier 1 capital and the amount of its allowable Tier 2 capital up to the amount of its Tier 1 capital. Tier 2 capital consists of all cumulative perpetual and limited-life preferred stock, hybrid capital instruments, including mandatory convertible securities, term debt, ACL up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and certain unrealized gains on equity securities. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had $9.2 million of ACL, which was less than 1.25% of risk-weighted assets. The entire $9.2 million of ACL is allowable Tier 2 capital and includable in total risk-based capital.
Adjusted total assets consist of total assets as specified in the Call Report less certain items such as disallowed servicing assets and accumulated gains/losses on AFS securities. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had $7.0 million of accumulated gains on AFS securities, net of deferred taxes, which was subtracted from Call Report total assets of $9.88 billion to arrive at adjusted total assets of $9.87 billion.
Risk-weighted assets are determined under the OCC capital regulations, which assign to every asset and certain off-balance sheet items a risk weight generally ranging from 0% to 100% based on the inherent risk of the asset. Institutions that are not well capitalized are subject to certain restrictions on brokered deposits and interest rates on deposits. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had Tier 1 capital of $1.30 billion, total risk-based capital of $1.31 billion, adjusted total assets of $9.87 billion, and risk-weighted assets of $3.94 billion. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 13.2%, a Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 33.0%, and a total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 33.2%. At September 30, 2014, the Bank was considered a well-capitalized institution under OCC regulations.
The OCC has the ability to establish an individual minimum capital requirement for a particular institution, which varies from the capital levels that would otherwise be required under the capital regulations based on such factors as concentrations of credit risk, levels of interest rate risk, and the risks of non-traditional activities as well as others. The OCC has not imposed any such requirement on the Bank.
The OCC is authorized and, under certain circumstances, required to take certain actions against savings banks that fail to meet the minimum ratios for an adequately capitalized institution. Any such institution must submit a capital restoration plan and, until such plan is approved by the OCC, may not increase its assets, acquire another institution, establish a branch or engage in any new activities, and generally may not make capital distributions. The plan must include a guaranty by the institution's holding company limited to the lesser of 5% of the institution's assets when it became undercapitalized, or the amount necessary to restore the institution to adequately capitalized status. The OCC is authorized to impose the additional restrictions on institutions that are less than adequately capitalized.
Federal regulations state that any institution that fails to comply with its capital plan or has Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 3.0% or a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0% is considered significantly undercapitalized and must be made subject to one or more additional specified actions and operating restrictions that may cover all aspects of its operations and may include a forced merger or acquisition of the institution. An institution with tangible equity to total assets of less than 2.0% is critically undercapitalized and becomes subject to further mandatory restrictions on its operations. The OCC generally is authorized to reclassify an institution into a lower capital category and impose the restrictions applicable to such category if the institution is engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition. The imposition by the OCC of any of these measures on the Bank may have a substantial adverse effect on its operations and profitability. In general, the FDIC must be appointed receiver for a critically undercapitalized institution whose capital is not restored within the time provided. When the FDIC as receiver liquidates an institution, the claims of depositors and the FDIC as their successor (for deposits covered by FDIC insurance) have priority over other unsecured claims against the institution.
Basel III Capital Rules. In July 2013, the FRB, FDIC and OCC published final rules establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The agencies believe that the new rule will result in capital requirements that better reflect banking organizations' risk profiles. The rules implement the "Basel III" regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. Basel III refers to various documents released by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The new rules become effective for the Company and Bank in January 2015, with some rules transitioned into full effectiveness over two to four years. The new capital rules, among other things, introduce a new capital measure called "Common Equity Tier 1" ("CET1"), increase the leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, change the risk-weightings of certain assets for purposes of risk-based capital ratios, create an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios, and change what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting the various capital requirements.
Under the new capital rules, CET1 is defined as common stock, plus related surplus, and retained earnings plus limited amounts of minority interest in the form of common stock, less certain regulatory deductions. The new capital rules, like the current capital rules, specify that total capital consists of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital for the Company and the Bank consists of common stock, plus related surplus and retained earnings. Tier 2 capital for the Company and the Bank currently includes the entire amount of ACL; however, the includable amount of ACL could be limited in the future if the ACL amount exceeds 1.25% of risk-weighted assets.
The new capital rules require a number of changes to regulatory capital deductions and adjustments, subject to a two-year transition period. One such change relates to accumulated other comprehensive income. Under current capital rules, the effects of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss items included in shareholders' equity are reversed for the purposes of determining regulatory capital ratios. Under the new capital rules, the effects of certain accumulated other comprehensive items are not excluded; however, non-advanced approaches banking organizations, including the Company and the Bank, may make a one-time permanent election to continue to exclude these items. Management is considering whether to take advantage of this opt-out to reduce the impact of market volatility on its regulatory capital levels.
The new capital rules also include changes in the risk-weighing of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposure. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and for non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status and a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable (currently set at 0%). Of particular importance to the Bank is that the new capital rules' treatment of one- to four-family residential mortgage exposures remains the same as under the current capital rule. This includes a 50% risk weighting for prudently underwritten first lien mortgage loans that are not past due, reported as nonaccrual, or restructured, and a 100% risk weight for all other residential mortgages.
Under the new capital rules, the minimum capital ratios as of January 1, 2015 will be as follows:
| |
• | 4.5% CET1 to risk-weighted assets. |
| |
• | 6.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets. |
| |
• | 8.0% Total capital to risk-weighted assets. |
| |
• | 4% Tier 1 capital to average consolidated assets as reported on consolidated financial statements (known as the "leverage ratio"). |
The new capital rules will require the Company and the Bank to meet a capital conservation buffer requirement in order to avoid constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and certain compensation. To meet the requirement when it is fully phased in, the organization must maintain an amount of CET1 capital that exceeds the buffer level of 2.5% above each of the minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. The requirement will be phased in over a four year period, starting January 1, 2016, when the amount of such capital must exceed the buffer level of 0.625%. The buffer level will increase by 0.625% each year until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. When the capital conservation buffer requirement is fully phased in, to avoid constraints, a banking organization must maintain the following capital ratios: (1) CET1 to risk-weighted assets more than 7.0%, (2) Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets more than 8.5%, and (3) total capital (Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets more than 10.5%.
With respect to the Bank, the new capital rules also revise the "prompt corrective action" regulations effective January 1, 2015, by (1) introducing a CET1 ratio requirement at each level (other than critically undercapitalized), with the required CET1 ratio being 6.5% for well-capitalized status; (2) increasing the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirement for each category, with the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio for well-capitalized status being 8% (compared to the current 6%); and (3) eliminating the current provision that provides that a bank with a composite supervisory rating of 1 may have a 3% leverage ratio and still be adequately capitalized. The new capital rules do not change the total risk-based capital requirement for any "prompt corrective action" category.
Although we continue to evaluate the impact that the new capital rules will have on the Company and the Bank, we currently anticipate that the Company and the Bank will be well-capitalized under the new capital rules, and that the Company and the Bank will meet the capital conservation buffer requirement.
Community Reinvestment and Consumer Protection Laws. In connection with its lending activities, the Bank is subject to a number of federal laws designed to protect borrowers and promote lending to various sectors of the economy and population. These include the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Truth-in-Lending Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 ("SAFE Act"), and the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA"). In addition, federal banking regulators, pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, have enacted regulations limiting the ability of banks and other financial institutions to disclose nonpublic consumer information to non-affiliated third parties. The regulations require disclosure of privacy policies and allow consumers to prevent certain personal information from being shared with non-affiliated parties.
The CRA requires the appropriate federal banking agency, in connection with its examination of an FDIC-insured institution, to assess its record in meeting the credit needs of the communities served by the bank, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The federal banking regulators take into account the institution's record of performance under the CRA when considering applications for mergers, acquisitions, and branches. Under the CRA, institutions are assigned a rating of outstanding, satisfactory, needs to improve, or substantial non-compliance. The Bank received a satisfactory rating in its most recent CRA evaluation.
Bank Secrecy Act /Anti-Money Laundering Laws. The Bank is subject to the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. These laws and regulations require the Bank to implement policies, procedures, and controls to detect, prevent, and report money laundering and terrorist financing and to verify the identity of their customers. Violations of these requirements can result in substantial civil and criminal sanctions. In addition, provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act require the federal financial institution regulatory agencies to consider the effectiveness of a financial institution's anti-money laundering activities when reviewing mergers and acquisitions.
Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions. Although savings and loan holding companies are not currently subject to regulatory capital requirements or specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or other capital distributions, 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.
Generally, savings institutions, such as the Bank, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the earnings of the previous two calendar years and current year-to-date earnings. It is generally required that the Bank remain well capitalized before and after the proposed distribution. However, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OCC may have its capital distribution authority restricted. A savings institution, such as the Bank, that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding 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, or are under special restrictions, or are not, or would not be, well capitalized following a proposed capital distribution, however, must obtain regulatory approval prior to making such distribution. For additional information, see "Regulation and Supervision – Regulatory Capital Requirements."
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 continues to remain "well capitalized" after each capital distribution 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.
Federal Securities Law. The common stock of the Company is registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company stock held by persons who are affiliates of the Company may not be resold without registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. Affiliates are generally considered to be officers, directors and principal stockholders. If the Company meets specified current public information requirements, each affiliate of the Company will be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.
Federal Reserve System. The FRB requires all depository institutions to maintain reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts, primarily checking accounts. At September 30, 2014, the Bank was in compliance with these reserve requirements. The Bank is authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount window." An eligible institution need not exhaust other sources of funds before going to the discount window, nor are there restrictions on the purposes for which the borrower can use primary credit. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings from the discount window.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. The Bank is a member of FHLB Topeka, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. Each FHLB serves as a reserve, or central bank, for its members within its assigned region and is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes loans, called advances, to members and provides access to a line of credit in accordance with policies and procedures, established by the Board of Directors of FHLB, which are subject to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA").
As a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain capital stock in the FHLB. The minimum required FHLB stock amount is generally 4.5% of the Bank's FHLB advances and outstanding balance against the FHLB line of credit, and 2% of the outstanding principal of loans sold into the Mortgage Partnership Finance program. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had a balance of $213.1 million in FHLB stock, which was in compliance with this requirement. In past years, the Bank has received dividends on its FHLB stock, although no assurance can be given that these dividends will continue. On a quarterly basis, management conducts a review of the FHLB to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment of the FHLB stock is present. At September 30, 2014, management concluded there was no such impairment.
Federal Savings and Loan Holding Company Regulation. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners Loan Act ("HOLA"). As such, the Company is registered with the FRB and subject to the FRB regulations, examinations, supervision, and reporting requirements. In addition, the FRB has enforcement authority over the Company and the Bank. Among other things, this authority permits the FRB to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the Bank.
The HOLA prohibits a savings and loan holding company (directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries) from acquiring another savings association, or holding company thereof, without prior written approval from the FRB; acquiring or retaining, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a non-subsidiary savings association, a non-subsidiary holding company, or a non-subsidiary company engaged in activities other than those permitted by the HOLA; or acquiring or retaining control of a depository institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by savings and loan holding companies to acquire savings associations, the FRB must consider the financial and managerial resources and future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the insurance funds, the convenience and needs of the community, competitive factors, and other factors.
Taxation
Federal Taxation
General
The Company and the Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. Neither the Company nor the Bank has been subject to an Internal Revenue Service audit during the past five years.
Method of Accounting
For federal income tax purposes, the Bank currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a fiscal year ending on September 30 for filing its federal income tax return.
Minimum Tax
The Internal Revenue Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, called alternative minimum taxable income. The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent such alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of the regular tax. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years.
Net Operating Loss Carryovers
A financial institution may carryback net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. This provision applies to losses incurred in taxable years beginning after August 6, 1997. As of September 30, 2014, the Company had no net operating loss carryovers.
State Taxation
The earnings/losses of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. and Capitol Funds, Inc. are combined for purposes of filing a consolidated Kansas corporate tax return. The Kansas corporate tax rate is 4.0%, plus a surcharge of 3.0% on earnings greater than $50 thousand.
The Bank files a Kansas privilege tax return. For Kansas privilege tax purposes, for taxable years beginning after 1997, the minimum tax rate is 4.5% of earnings, which is calculated based on federal taxable income, subject to certain adjustments. The Bank has not received notification from the state of any potential tax liability for any years still subject to audit.
Additionally, the Bank files state tax returns in various other states where it has significant purchased loans and/or foreclosure activities. In these states, the Bank has either established nexus under an economic nexus theory or has exceeded enumerated nexus thresholds based on the amount of interest derived from sources within the state.
Employees
At September 30, 2014, we had a total of 716 employees, including 134 part-time employees. The full-time equivalent of our total employees at September 30, 2014 was 674. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining group. Management considers its employee relations to be good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following is a summary of risk factors relating to the operations of the Bank and the Company. These risk factors are not necessarily presented in order of significance.
Changes in interest rates could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans, MBS, and investment securities, and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Changes in interest rates could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition because the majority of our interest-earning assets are long-term, fixed-rate loans, while the majority of our interest-bearing liabilities are shorter term, and therefore subject to a greater degree of interest rate fluctuations. This type of risk is known as interest rate risk and is affected by prevailing economic and competitive conditions, including monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government.
The impact of changes in interest rates is generally observed on the income statement. The magnitude of the impact will be determined by the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which either reprice or mature within a given period of time. This difference provides an indication of the extent to which our net interest rate spread will be impacted by changes in interest rates. In addition, changes in interest rates will impact the expected level of repricing of the Bank's mortgage-related assets and callable debt securities. Generally, as interest rates decline, the amount of interest-earning assets expected to reprice will increase as borrowers have an economic incentive to reduce the cost of their mortgage or debt, which would negatively impact the Bank's interest income. Conversely, as interest rates rise, the amount of interest-earning assets expected to reprice will decline as the economic incentive to refinance the mortgage or debt is diminished. As this occurs, the amount of interest-earning assets repricing could diminish to the point where interest-bearing liabilities reprice to a higher interest rate, at a faster pace, than interest-earning assets, thus negatively impacting the Bank's net interest income.
Changes in interest rates can also have an adverse effect on our financial condition as AFS securities are reported at estimated fair value. We increase or decrease our stockholders' equity, specifically accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), by the amount of change in the estimated fair value of our AFS securities, net of deferred taxes. Increases in interest rates generally decrease the fair value of AFS securities. Decreases in the fair value of AFS securities would, therefore, adversely impact stockholders' equity.
Changes in interest rates, as they relate to customers, can also have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In times of rising interest rates, default risk may increase among borrowers with ARM loans as the rates on their loans adjust upward and their payments increase. Fluctuations in interest rates also affect customer demand for deposit products. Local competition could affect our ability to attract deposits, or could result in us paying more than competitors for deposits.
In addition to general changes in interest rates, changes that affect the shape of the yield curve could negatively impact the Bank. The Bank's interest-bearing liabilities are generally priced based on short-term interest rates while the majority of the Bank's interest-earning assets are priced based on long-term interest rates. Income for the Bank is primarily driven by the spread between these rates. As a result, a steeper yield curve, meaning long-term interest rates are significantly higher than short-term interest rates, would provide the Bank with a better opportunity to increase net interest income. When the yield curve is flat, meaning long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates are essentially the same, or when the yield curve is
inverted, meaning long-term interest rates are lower than short-term interest rates, the yield between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that reprice is compressed or diminished and would likely negatively impact the Bank's net interest income.
An economic downturn, especially one affecting our geographic market area, could adversely affect our operations and financial results.
Our primary lending emphasis is the origination and purchase of one- to four-family first mortgage loans on residential properties; therefore, we are particularly exposed to downturns in regional housing markets and, to a lesser extent, the U.S. housing market. The primary risks inherent in our one- to four-family loan portfolio are declines in economic conditions, elevated levels of unemployment or underemployment, and declines in residential real estate values. Any one or a combination of these events may have an adverse impact on borrowers' ability to repay their loans, which could result in increased delinquencies, non-performing assets, loan losses, and future loan loss provisions.
Additionally, we have a concentration of loans secured in Kansas and Missouri due to our lending practices. Approximately 63% of our loan portfolio is comprised of loans secured by property located in Kansas, and approximately 19% is comprised of loans secured by property located in Missouri. This makes us vulnerable to a downturn in local economies and real estate markets. Adverse conditions in these local economies such as inflation, unemployment, recession, natural disasters, or other factors beyond our control, could impact the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans. Decreases in local real estate values could adversely affect the value of the property used as collateral for our loans, which could cause us to realize a loss in the event of a foreclosure. Currently, there is not a single employer or industry in the area on which the majority of our customers are dependent.
We operate in a highly regulated industry, which limits the manner and scope of our business activities and will continue to increase our operational and compliance costs.
Our business is highly regulated; in addition, the laws and applicable regulations are subject to frequent change. The Dodd-Frank Act significantly changed, and will continue to significantly change, the current banking regulatory structure and affect the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. As of July 2011 the Bank's primary federal regulator became the OCC while the Company, as a savings and loan holding company, is subject to regulation and supervision by the FRB. The Dodd-Frank Act gave various federal agencies significant discretion in drafting a broad range of new rules and regulations. The full details and impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many years.
We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by the OCC, FRB, and the FDIC. These regulatory authorities exercise broad discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the ability to impose restrictions on a bank's operations, reclassify assets, determine the adequacy of a bank's ACL, and determine the level of deposit insurance premiums assessed. The Dodd-Frank Act created the CFPB with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws, including a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, like the authority to prohibit "unfair, deceptive or abusive" acts and practices. The CFPB also has examination and enforcement authority over all banks with more than $10 billion in assets. The Company does not currently have assets in excess of $10 billion, but it may at some point in the future. Banks with $10 billion or less in assets will continue to be examined for compliance with the consumer laws and regulations of the CFPB by their primary bank regulators. The Dodd-Frank Act also weakens the federal preemption rules that have been applicable for national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce federal consumer protection laws. Change in the authority and oversight of any of these agencies, and of other agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, whether in the form of regulatory policy, new regulations or legislation, or additional deposit insurance premiums, could have a material impact on our operations.
Since the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB has issued a number of new regulations and changes to existing consumer protections regulations, including new rules, most (including the qualified mortgage rule) effective January 10, 2014, which generally prohibit creditors from extending mortgage loans without regard for the consumer's ability-to-repay and add restrictions and requirements to mortgage origination and servicing practices. In addition, these rules limit prepayment penalties and require the creditor to retain evidence of compliance with the ability-to-repay requirement for three years. Compliance with these rules has, and may continue to, change our underwriting practices with respect to mortgage loans and increase our overall regulatory compliance costs. Moreover, these rules may adversely affect the volume of
mortgage loans that we underwrite and may subject us to increased potential liabilities related to such residential loan origination activities.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires minimum leverage (Tier 1) and risk-based capital requirements for savings and loan holding companies and bank holding companies that are no less stringent than those applicable to banks, which will limit our ability to borrow at the holding company level and invest the proceeds from such borrowings as capital in the Bank.
The Dodd-Frank Act also broadens the base for FDIC deposit insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on the average consolidated total assets less average tangible equity capital of a financial institution, rather than deposits. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increases the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions, and credit unions to $250 thousand per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2008. The legislation also increases the required minimum reserve ratio for the DIF, from 1.15% to 1.35% of insured deposits, and directs the FDIC to offset the effects of increased assessments on depository institutions with less than $10 billion in assets by charging higher assessments on institutions with more than $10 billion in assets.
The potential exists for additional laws and regulations, or changes in policy, affecting lending practices, regulatory capital limits, interest rate risk management, and liquidity standards. Moreover, bank regulatory agencies have been active in responding to concerns and trends identified in examinations, and have issued many formal enforcement orders requiring capital ratios in excess of regulatory requirements and/or assessing monetary penalties. Bank regulatory agencies, such as the OCC and the FDIC, govern the activities in which we may engage, primarily for the protection of depositors, and not for the protection or benefit of investors. The CFPB enforces consumer protection laws and regulations for the benefit of the consumer and not the protection or benefit of investors. In addition, new laws and regulations may continue to increase our costs of regulatory compliance and of doing business, and otherwise affect our operations. New laws and regulations may significantly affect the markets in which we do business, the markets for and value of our loans and securities, the products we offer, the fees we can charge and our ongoing operations, costs, and profitability.
It is difficult to predict at this time the full impact the Dodd-Frank Act and the yet to be written implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks. However, it is expected that, at a minimum, they will continue to increase our operating and compliance costs.
Strong competition may limit growth and profitability.
While we are one of the largest mortgage loan originators in the state of Kansas, we compete in the same market areas as local, regional, and national banks, credit unions, mortgage brokerage firms, investment banking firms, investment brokerage firms, and savings institutions. We must also compete with online investment and mortgage brokerages and online banks that are not confined to any specific market area. Many of these competitors operate on a national or regional level, are a conglomerate of various financial services providers housed under one corporation, or otherwise have substantially greater financial or technological resources than the Bank. We compete primarily on the basis of the interest rates offered to depositors and the terms of loans offered to borrowers. Should we face competitive pressure to increase deposit rates or decrease loan rates, our net interest income could be adversely affected. Additionally, our competitors may offer products and services that we do not or cannot provide, as certain deposit and loan products fall outside of our accepted level of risk. Our profitability depends upon our ability to compete in our local market areas.
We may be required to provide remedial consideration to borrowers whose loans we purchase from correspondent and nationwide lenders if it is discovered that the originating company did not properly comply with lending regulations during the origination process.
We purchase whole one- to four-family mortgage loans from correspondent and nationwide lenders. While loans purchased on a loan-by-loan basis from correspondent lenders are underwritten by the Bank's underwriters and loans purchased in bulk packages from correspondent and nationwide lenders are evaluated on a certain set of criteria before being purchased, we are still subject to some risks associated with the loan origination process itself. By law, loan originators are required to comply with lending regulations at all times during the origination process. Any compliance related risks associated with the origination process itself is effectively transferred from the originating company to the Bank once the Bank purchases the loan. Should, at any point, it be discovered that an instance of noncompliance occurred by the originating company during the origination process, the Bank would still be held responsible and required to remedy the issue for the loans it purchased from the originator. Remedial actions can include such actions as refunding interest paid to the borrower and adjusting the contractual interest rate on the loan to the current market rate if advantageous to the borrower.
The short-term and long-term impact of the changing regulatory capital requirements and new capital rules is uncertain.
As discussed in "Regulation and Supervision – New Capital Rules", effective January 1, 2015, the Company and the Bank will be subject to new capital requirements under regulations adopted by the federal banking regulators to implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. These new requirements establish the following minimum capital ratios:
(1) CET1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets; (3) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets; and (4) a leverage ratio of 4.0%. In addition, there is a new requirement to maintain a capital conservation buffer, comprised of CET1 capital, in an amount greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets over the minimum capital required by each of the minimum risk-based capital ratios in order to avoid limitations on the organization's ability to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in, beginning January 1, 2016, requiring during 2016 a buffer amount greater than 0.625% in order to avoid these limitations, and with the amount increasing by that amount each year until beginning January 1, 2019, the buffer amount must be greater than 2.5% in order to avoid the limitation. The new regulations also change what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements, as well as the risk-weights of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios.
Under the new regulations, in order to be considered well-capitalized for prompt corrective action purposes, the Bank will be required to maintain the following ratios: (1) a CET1 ratio of at least 6.5% of risk-weighted assets; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 8.0% of risk-weighted assets; (3) a total capital ratio of at least 10.0% of risk-weighted assets; and (4) a leverage ratio of at least 5.0%.
Although we continue to evaluate the impact the more restrictive Basel III capital rules will have on the Bank, we currently anticipate the Bank will remain well-capitalized in accordance with the regulatory standards.
Changes in accounting standards could impact the Company's financial statements and reported earnings.
Accounting standard-setting bodies, such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, periodically change and approve new financial accounting and reporting standards that affect the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. These changes are beyond the Company's control and could have a meaningful impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company's ability to pay dividends is subject to the ability of the Bank to make capital distributions to the Company.
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, and also on the availability of cash at the holding company level in the event earnings are not sufficient to pay dividends according to the cash dividend payout policy.
The Company's risk-management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss.
The Company maintains an enterprise risk management program that is designed to identify, quantify, monitor, report, and control the risks that it faces. These include interest-rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, reputation risk, and compliance and litigation risk. While the Company assesses and improves this program on an ongoing basis, there can be no assurance that its approach and framework for risk management and related controls will effectively mitigate risk and limit losses in its business. If conditions or circumstances arise that expose flaws or gaps in the Company's risk-management program, or if its controls break down, the performance and value of its business could be adversely affected.
Risks associated with cyber-security, information system failures, interruptions, or other breaches of security involving our systems or network, or those of our third-party vendors, may negatively affect the Bank in multiple ways.
The Bank relies heavily on communications and information systems to conduct business. It is also dependent on its network and information processing systems and, in some cases, those of the Bank's third-party vendors. The Bank has a business continuity plan which is reviewed and updated on a regular basis and is tested periodically. The Bank also reviews and evaluates business continuity programs implemented by its third-party vendors.
Cyber-security and the continued development and enhancement of the controls and processes designed to protect the Bank's systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority. Disruption or failure of those systems, or a breach in security, may adversely affect the Bank's operations, financial performance, or
reputation. Furthermore, as cyber threats continue to evolve and increase, the Bank may be required to expend significant additional resources to modify or enhance its protective measures, or to investigate and remediate any identified information security vulnerabilities.
While the Bank has policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the failure, interruption, or security breach of the Bank's information systems or network in place, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions, or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
At September 30, 2014, we had 37 traditional branch offices and 10 in-store branch offices. The Bank owns the office building and related land in which its home office and executive offices are located, and 28 of its other branch offices. The remaining 18 branches are either leased or partially owned.
For additional information regarding our lease obligations, see "Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 5 – Premises and Equipment, net."
Management believes that our current facilities are adequate to meet our present and immediately foreseeable needs, after consideration of the remodeling of our Kansas City market area operations center. However, we will continue to monitor customer growth and expand our branching network, if necessary, to serve our customers' needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
The Company and the Bank are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. In our opinion, after consultation with legal counsel, we believe it unlikely that such pending legal actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Restrictions on the Payments of Dividends
The Company's ability to pay dividends is dependent, in part, upon its ability to obtain capital distributions from the Bank. The dividend policy of the Company is subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will 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. See "Item 1. Business – Regulation and Supervision – Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions" for additional information regarding the Company's ability to pay dividends.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The summary information presented below under "Selected Balance Sheet Data" and "Selected Operations Data" for, and as of the end of, each of the years ended September 30 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements.

(1) | Excluding the $40.0 million ($26.0 million, net of income tax benefit) contribution to the Capitol Federal Foundation (the "Foundation") in connection with the corporate reorganization, basic and diluted earnings per share would have been $0.40, return on average assets would have been 0.68%, return on average equity would have been 3.69%, the operating expense ratio would have been 0.98%, and the efficiency ratio would have been 47.65%. This adjusted financial data is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Management believes it is important for comparability purposes to provide this adjusted financial data because of the magnitude and non-recurring nature of the contribution to the Foundation.

(2) | For fiscal year 2010, Capitol Federal Savings Bank MHC ("MHC") owned a majority of the outstanding shares of Capitol Federal Financial common stock and waived its right to receive dividends paid on the common stock with the exception of the $0.50 per share dividend paid on 500,000 shares in February 2010. Public shares excluded shares held by MHC, as well as unallocated shares held in the Capitol Federal Financial Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The ownership portion of MHC was sold in a public offering in conjunction with the corporate reorganization. |
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources of the Company. The Bank comprises almost all of the consolidated assets and liabilities of the Company and the Company is dependent primarily upon the performance of the Bank for the results of its operations. Because of this relationship, references to management actions, strategies and results of actions apply to both the Bank and the Company.
Executive Summary
The Company completed its conversion from a mutual holding company form of organization to a stock form of organization in December 2010. The Company's common stock is traded on the Global Select tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol "CFFN." The Company provides a full range of retail banking services through the Bank, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary headquartered in Topeka Kansas. The Bank has 37 traditional and 10 in-store banking offices serving primarily the metropolitan areas of Topeka, Wichita, Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia and Salina, Kansas and portions of the metropolitan area of greater Kansas City.
We have been, and intend to continue to be, a community-oriented financial institution offering a variety of financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve. We attract retail deposits from the general public and invest those funds primarily in permanent loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences. We also originate consumer loans primarily secured by first mortgages on one- to four-family residences, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, and construction loans secured by residential, multi-family, or commercial real estate. While our primary business is the origination of one- to four-family mortgage loans funded through retail deposits, we also purchase whole one- to four-family mortgage loans from correspondent and nationwide lenders, participate in loans with other lenders that are secured by multi-family or commercial real estate, and invest in certain investment securities and MBS using funding from retail deposits, FHLB borrowings, and repurchase agreements.
The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans, MBS, investment securities, and cash, and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. On a weekly basis, management reviews deposit flows, loan demand, cash levels, and changes in several market rates to assess all pricing strategies. The Bank's pricing strategy for first mortgage loan products includes setting interest rates based on secondary market prices and local competitor pricing for our local lending markets, and secondary market prices and national competitor pricing for our correspondent lending markets. Generally, deposit pricing is based upon a survey of competitors in the Bank's market areas, and the need to attract funding and retain maturing deposits. The majority of our loans are fixed-rate products with maturities up to 30 years, while the majority of our retail deposits have maturity or repricing dates of less than two years.
The Company is significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, including federal monetary and fiscal policies and federal regulation of financial institutions. Retail deposit balances are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing investment products, the level of personal income, and the personal rate of savings within our market areas. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for housing and other loans, our loan underwriting guidelines compared to those of our competitors, as well as interest rate pricing competition from other lending institutions.
The Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve (the "FOMC") noted in their October 2014 statement that economic activity has expanded at a moderate pace. Labor market conditions further improved with solid job gains and lower unemployment as underutilization of labor resources gradually diminished. The FOMC stated that household spending and business fixed investment continued to advance, but recovery in the housing sector remained slow. Inflation continued to run below the FOMC's longer-run objective while longer-term inflationary expectations have remained stable. Given the substantial improvement in the outlook for the labor market since the inception of the FOMC's current asset purchase program, and the sufficient underlying strength it sees in the broader economy, the FOMC decided to conclude its asset purchase program. The FOMC will continue its existing policy of reinvesting principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency MBS in agency MBS, and rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction. The FOMC reaffirmed its view that the current 0% to 0.25% target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate and that it will likely be so for a considerable time following the end of the asset purchase program, especially if projected inflation continues to run below the FOMC's 2% longer-run goal. If incoming information indicates faster progress toward the FOMC's employment and inflation objectives, then increases in the federal funds target range are likely to occur sooner than currently anticipated.
Conversely, if progress is restricted more than expected, then increases in the federal funds target range are likely to occur later than currently anticipated. Even after employment and inflation are near mandate-consistent levels, economic conditions may, for some time, warrant keeping the target federal funds rate below levels the FOMC views as normal in the long run. When the FOMC decides to begin to remove policy accommodation, they stated they will take a balanced approach consistent with their longer-run goals of maximum employment and inflation of 2%.
Economic conditions in the Bank's local market areas have a significant impact on the ability of borrowers to repay loans and the value of the collateral securing these loans. The industries in our market areas are very diversified, specifically in the Kansas City metropolitan statistical area which comprises the largest segment of our loan portfolio and deposit base. As of October 2014, the unemployment rate was 4.4% for Kansas and 5.9% for Missouri, compared to the national average of 5.8% based on information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The Kansas City market area has an average household income of approximately $74 thousand per annum, based on 2014 estimates from the American Community Survey, which is a statistical survey by the U.S. Census Bureau. The average household income in our combined market areas is approximately $69 thousand per annum, with 90% of the population at or above the poverty level, also based on the 2014 estimates from the American Community Survey. The FHFA price index for Kansas and Missouri has not experienced significant fluctuations during the past 10 years, unlike other market areas of the United States, which indicates relative stability in property values in our local market areas.
The structure of the Bank's retail branches is currently undergoing a transformation as more customers utilize electronic and other remote channels to conduct business. The physical footprint of the branch is being reduced. The last branch opened by the Bank occupies approximately 2,100 square feet and we anticipate that future retail branches will be even smaller, operating with three to five retail staff members. The interior layout of the branch also will transform, with future or remodeled branches designed without a teller counter and designed for more consultative interactions with less emphasis on transaction processing. To support this operating concept, the Bank has fully implemented a new branch staffing model that eliminates our traditional teller role, blending transaction processing and account servicing functions under Customer Service Associates and Customer Service Representatives. The expanded skill set of branch staff provides branch managers greater flexibility to manage customer flows within the branches. Also, the branch management ranks have been pared, with 32 of our 47 branches now operating under a manager responsible for either two or three offices. Currently, any future branch management reductions are expected to result from retirements and attrition. Management continues to monitor the role and functions of the branch staff and will adjust the branch management and overall branch staffing structure as necessary to achieve the Bank’s targets for deposit and loan production. Since 2010, the Bank has reduced retail branch staff by 24 full-time equivalent positions while adding four new branch locations. Additionally, lending staff have been deployed from regionally centralized locations to the branch network. By utilizing paperless electronic document technology, the Bank can better utilize staff resources regardless of their physical location. This promotes a more efficient loan process which benefits the customer and the loan operation. Having loan staff located in the branch network also provides them with more frequent opportunities to interact with customers and cross-sell additional products and services.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Bank implemented the daily leverage strategy to increase earnings. The daily leverage strategy currently involves borrowing up to $2.10 billion on the Bank's FHLB line of credit in two leverage tiers. The first tier of $800.0 million is intended to remain borrowed on the FHLB line of credit for an extended period of time. The second tier of $1.30 billion is borrowed at the beginning of each quarter and paid off prior to each quarter end. The proceeds of the borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings, are deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. The daily leverage strategy was fully implemented beginning on August 1, 2014 and increased fiscal year 2014 net income by $501 thousand. The daily leverage strategy has had minimal impact on the Bank's interest rate risk and liquidity. The pre-tax yield of the daily leverage strategy, which is defined as the annualized pre-tax income resulting from the transaction as a percentage of the interest-earning assets associated with the transaction, was 0.21% for the period that the strategy was in place during fiscal year 2014. Management expects to continue this strategy and will monitor it on a continuous basis.
For fiscal year 2014, the Company recognized net income of $77.7 million, compared to net income of $69.3 million for fiscal year 2013. The $8.4 million, or 12.0%, increase in net income was due primarily to a $6.0 million increase in net interest income, and a $5.4 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits due primarily to a reduction in ESOP related expenses. The net interest margin increased three basis points, from 1.97% for the prior fiscal year to 2.00% for the current fiscal year. Excluding the effects of the daily leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have been 2.07% for the current fiscal year. Decreases in the cost of funds and a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets from relatively lower yielding securities to higher yielding loans were the primary drivers for the higher net interest margin in the current fiscal year.
Total assets were $9.87 billion at September 30, 2014 compared to $9.19 billion at September 30, 2013. The $678.6 million increase was due primarily to a $697.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents resulting largely from the daily leverage strategy, a $274.3 million increase in loans receivable and an $84.5 million increase in FHLB stock, also due largely to the daily leverage strategy, partially offset by a $394.5 million decrease in the securities portfolio. Cash flows from the securities portfolio were used to fund loan growth, pay dividends, and repurchase stock. During the current fiscal year, the Bank originated and refinanced $566.9 million of loans with a weighted average rate of 3.91%, purchased $515.5 million of loans from correspondent lenders with a weighted average rate of 3.70%, and participated in $58.3 million of commercial real estate loans with a weighted average rate of 3.94%.
Total liabilities were $8.37 billion at September 30, 2014 compared to $7.55 billion at September 30, 2013. The $817.8 million increase was due primarily to an $856.1 million increase in FHLB borrowings, largely due to an $800.0 million increase in the FHLB line of credit resulting from the daily leverage strategy, as well as to a $43.8 million increase in deposits. Repurchase agreements decreased $100.0 million between periods as a result of an agreement that matured being replaced with a FHLB advance.
Stockholders' equity was $1.49 billion at September 30, 2014 compared to $1.63 billion at September 30, 2013. The $139.2 million decrease was due primarily to the payment of $138.2 million in dividends and the repurchase of $83.2 million of stock, partially offset by net income of $77.7 million.
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 cause reported results to differ materially. These critical accounting policies and their application are reviewed at least annually by our audit committee. The following is a description of our critical accounting policies and an explanation of the methods and assumptions underlying their application.
Allowance for Credit Losses. The Company maintains an ACL to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio based upon ongoing quarterly assessments of the loan portfolio. The ACL is maintained through provisions for credit losses which are either charged or credited to income. The methodology for determining the ACL is considered a critical accounting policy by management because of the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions used, and the potential for changes in economic conditions that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded ACL. Additionally, bank regulators have the ability to require the Bank, as they can require all institutions, to increase the ACL or recognize additional charge-offs based upon their judgment, which may differ from management's judgment. Although management believes that the Bank has established and maintained the ACL at appropriate levels, additions may be necessary if economic and other conditions worsen substantially from the current operating environment, and/or if bank regulators require the Bank to increase the ACL and/or recognize additional charge-offs.
Our primary lending emphasis is the origination and purchase of one- to four-family loans and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties, resulting in a loan concentration in residential mortgage loans. As a result of our lending practices, we also have a concentration of loans secured by property located in Kansas and Missouri. At September 30, 2014, approximately 63% and 19% of the Bank's loans were secured by property located in Kansas and Missouri, respectively.
We believe the primary risks inherent in our one- to four-family and consumer loan portfolios are a decline in economic conditions, elevated levels of unemployment or underemployment, and declines in residential real estate values. Changes in any one or a combination of these events may adversely affect borrowers' ability to repay their loans, resulting in increased delinquencies, non-performing assets, loan losses, and future loan loss provisions. Although the multi-family and commercial loan portfolio is subject to the same risk of declines in economic conditions, the primary risk characteristics inherent in this portfolio include the ability of the borrower to sustain sufficient cash flows from leases and to control expenses to satisfy their contractual debt payments, and/or the ability to utilize personal and/or business resources to pay their contractual debt payments if the cash flows are not sufficient. Additionally, if the Bank were to repossess the secured collateral of a multi-family or commercial loan, the pool of potential buyers is limited more than that for a residential property. Therefore, the Bank could hold the property for an extended period of time and/or potentially be forced to sell at a discounted price, resulting in additional losses.
Generally, when a one- to four-family secured loan is 180 days delinquent, a new collateral value is obtained through an appraisal. If the estimated fair value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, is less than the current loan balance, the difference is charged-off. Anticipated PMI proceeds are taken into consideration when calculating the amount of the charge-off. An updated appraisal is requested, at a minimum, every 12 months thereafter if the loan remains 180 days or more delinquent or in foreclosure. If the Bank holds the first and second mortgage, both loans are combined when evaluating whether there is a potential loss on the loan. For multi-family and commercial loans, losses are charged-off when the collection of such amounts is determined to be unlikely. When a non-real estate secured loan, which includes consumer loans - other, is 120 days delinquent, any identified losses are charged-off. Charge-offs for any loan type may also occur at any time if the Bank has knowledge of the existence of a potential loss. Loans individually evaluated for loss are excluded from the formula analysis model.
Each quarter, we prepare a formula analysis which segregates our loan portfolio into categories based on certain risk characteristics such as loan type (one- to four-family, multi-family, etc.), interest payments (fixed-rate and adjustable-rate/interest-only), loan source (originated and correspondent purchased, or bulk purchased), LTV ratios, borrower's credit score and payment status (i.e. current or number of days delinquent). Consumer loans, such as second mortgages and home equity lines of credit, with the same underlying collateral as a one- to four-family loan are combined with the one- to four-family loan in the formula analysis to calculate a combined LTV ratio.
Quantitative loss factors are applied to each loan category in the formula analysis based on the historical net loss experience for each respective loan category. Each quarter management reviews the historical loss time periods and utilizes the historical loss time periods believed to be the most reflective of the current economic conditions. Additionally, qualitative loss factors that management believes impact the collectability of the loan portfolio as of the evaluation date are applied to certain loan categories. Loss factors increase as loans are classified or become delinquent. Additionally, TDRs that have not been individually evaluated for loss are included in a category within the formula analysis model with an overall higher qualitative loss factor than corresponding performing loans, for the life of the loan.
The factors applied in the formula analysis are reviewed quarterly by management to assess whether the factors adequately cover probable and estimable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Our ACL methodology permits modifications to the formula analysis in the event that, in management's judgment, significant factors which affect the collectability of the portfolio or any category of the loan portfolio, as of the evaluation date, have changed from the current formula analysis. Management's evaluation of the qualitative factors with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with a specific problem loan or portfolio segment.
Management utilizes the formula analysis, along with considering several other data elements, when evaluating the adequacy of the ACL. Such data elements include the trend and composition of delinquent loans, results of foreclosed property and short sale transactions, charge-off trends, the current status and trends of local and national economic conditions (particularly levels of unemployment), trends and current conditions in the real estate and housing markets, and loan portfolio growth and concentrations. Since our loan portfolio is primarily concentrated in one- to four-family real estate, management monitors residential real estate market value trends in the Bank's local market areas and geographic sections of the U.S. by reference to various industry and market reports, economic releases and surveys, and management's general and specific knowledge of the real estate markets in which we lend, in order to determine what impact, if any, such trends may have on the level of ACL. Reviewing these data elements assists management in evaluating the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio and the reasonableness of the ACL on an ongoing basis, and whether changes need to be made to our ACL methodology. In addition, the adequacy of the Company's ACL is reviewed during bank regulatory examinations. We consider any comments from our regulators when assessing the appropriateness of our ACL. We seek to apply ACL methodology in a consistent manner; however, the methodology can be modified in response to changing conditions.
Fair Value Measurements. The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 820 and ASC 825. The Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value, with Level 1 (quoted prices for identical assets in an active market) being considered the most reliable, and Level 3 having the most unobservable inputs and therefore being considered the least reliable. The Company bases its fair values on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value at September 30, 2014.
The Company's AFS securities are its most significant assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Changes in the fair value of AFS securities are recorded, net of tax, as accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. The Company primarily uses prices obtained from third party pricing services to determine the fair value of its securities. Various modeling techniques are used to determine pricing for the Company's securities, including option pricing, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The inputs to these models may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data. There is one security, with a balance of $2.3 million at September 30, 2014, in the AFS portfolio that has significant unobservable inputs requiring the independent pricing services to use some judgment in pricing the related securities. This AFS security is classified as Level 3. All other AFS securities are classified as Level 2.
Loans individually evaluated for impairment and OREO are the Company's significant assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Fair values of loan individually evaluated for impairment are estimated through current appraisals or analyzed based on market indicators. OREO fair values are estimated using current appraisals or listing prices. Fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions and, as such, are classified as Level 3.

Management Strategy
We are a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the needs of customers in our market areas. Our commitment is to provide qualified borrowers the broadest possible access to home ownership through our mortgage lending programs and to offer a complete set of personal banking products and services to our customers. We strive to enhance stockholder value while maintaining a strong capital position. To achieve these goals, we focus on the following strategies:
| |
• | Residential Portfolio Lending. We are one of the leading originators of one- to four-family loans in the state of Kansas. We originate these loans primarily for our own portfolio, and we service the loans we originate. We also purchase one- to four-family loans from correspondent and nationwide lenders. We offer both fixed- and adjustable-rate products with various terms to maturity and pricing options. We maintain strong relationships with local real estate agents to attract mortgage loan business. We rely on our marketing efforts and customer service reputation to attract mortgage business from walk-in customers, customers that apply online, and existing customers. |
| |
• | Retail Financial Services. We offer a wide array of deposit products and retail services. These products include checking, savings, money market, certificates of deposit, and retirement accounts. They are provided through a branch network of 47 locations, including traditional branches and retail in-store locations, our call center which operates on extended hours, mobile banking, telephone banking and bill payment services, and online banking and bill payment services. |
| |
• | Cost Control. We generally are very effective at controlling our costs of operations. By using technology, we are able to centralize our lending and deposit support functions for efficient processing. We have located our branches to serve a broad range of customers through relatively few branch locations. Our average deposit base per traditional branch at September 30, 2014 was approximately $111.2 million. This large average deposit base per branch helps to control costs. Our one- to four-family lending strategy and our effective management of credit risk allows us to service a large portfolio of loans at efficient levels because it costs less to service a portfolio of performing loans. |
| |
• | Asset Quality. We utilize underwriting standards for our lending products that are designed to limit our exposure to credit risk. We require complete documentation for both originated and purchased loans, and make credit decisions based on our assessment of the borrower's ability to repay the loan in accordance with its terms. |
| |
• | Capital Position. Our policy has always been to protect the safety and soundness of the Bank through credit and operational risk management, balance sheet strength, and sound operations. The end result of these activities has been a capital ratio in excess of the well-capitalized standards set by the OCC. We believe that maintaining a strong capital position safeguards the long-term interests of the Bank, the Company, and our stockholders. |
| |
• | Stockholder Value. We strive to enhance stockholder value while maintaining a strong capital position. One way that we continue to provide returns to stockholders is through our dividend payments. Total dividends declared and paid during fiscal year 2014 were $138.2 million. The Company's cash dividend payout policy is reviewed quarterly by management and the Board of Directors, and the ability to pay dividends under the policy depends 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. It is the intent of the Board of Directors to continue to pay regular quarterly and special cash dividends each year, and for fiscal year 2015, it is the intent of the Board of Directors and management to continue with the payout of 100% of the Company's earnings to its stockholders. Another way we have provided returns to stockholders is through our share repurchase programs. During fiscal year 2014, the Company repurchased 6,947,065 shares of common stock at an average price of $11.98 per share, or $83.2 million. |
| |
• | Interest Rate Risk Management. Changes in interest rates are our primary market risk as our balance sheet is almost entirely comprised of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. As such, fluctuations in interest rates have a significant impact not only upon our net income but also upon the cash flows related to those assets and liabilities and the market value of our assets and liabilities. In order to maintain what we believe to be acceptable levels of net interest income in varying interest rate environments, we actively manage our interest rate risk and assume a moderate amount of interest rate risk consistent with board policies. |
Financial Condition
Assets. Total assets were $9.87 billion at September 30, 2014 compared to $9.19 billion at September 30, 2013. The $678.6 million increase was due primarily to a $697.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, a $274.3 million increase in loans receivable, and an $84.5 million increase in FHLB stock, partially offset by a $394.5 million decrease in the securities portfolio.
Loans Receivable. The loans receivable portfolio, net, increased $274.3 million, or 4.6%, to $6.23 billion at September 30, 2014, from $5.96 billion at September 30, 2013. The increase in the portfolio was due primarily to correspondent one- to four-family loan purchases outpacing principal repayments between periods. The growth in the loan portfolio was primarily funded with cash flows from the securities portfolio.
The following table presents information related to the composition of our loan portfolio (before deductions for undisbursed loan funds, unearned loan fees and deferred costs, and ACL) as of the dates indicated. The weighted average rate of the loan portfolio decreased six basis points from 3.82% at September 30, 2013 to 3.76% at September 30, 2014. The decrease in the rate was due primarily to adjustable-rate loans repricing to lower rates and repayments of loans with rates greater than the weighted average rate of the existing portfolio. Within the one- to four-family loan portfolio at September 30, 2014, 67% of the loans had a balance at origination of less than $417 thousand.

The following table presents, for our portfolio of one- to four-family loans, the balance, percentage of total, weighted average credit score, weighted average LTV ratio, and the average balance per loan at the dates presented. Credit scores are updated at least semiannually, with the last update in September 2014, 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.

Included in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2014 were $96.2 million, or 1.5% of the total loan portfolio, of ARM loans that were originated as interest-only. Of these interest-only loans, $81.1 million were purchased in bulk loan packages from nationwide lenders, primarily during fiscal year 2005. Interest-only ARM loans do not typically require principal payments during their initial term, and have initial interest-only terms of either 5 or 10 years. The $81.1 million of bulk purchased interest-only ARM loans had a weighted average credit score of 724 and a weighted average LTV ratio of 70% at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, $52.8 million, or 55%, of the interest-only loans were still in their interest-only payment term and $4.2 million, or 17% of non-performing loans, were interest-only ARMs.
The following tables summarize activity in the loan portfolio, along with weighted average rates where applicable, for the periods indicated, excluding changes in undisbursed loan funds, ACL, discounts/unearned loan fees, and premiums/deferred costs. Loans that were paid-off as a result of refinances are included in repayments. Purchased loans include purchases from correspondent and nationwide lenders. There were no loan purchases from nationwide lenders during the periods presented. 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 fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Bank endorsed $36.4 million and $487.0 million, respectively, of one- to four-family loans, reducing the average rate on those loans by 113 basis points and 112 basis points, respectively.

Mortgage-Backed Securities - The balance of MBS, which primarily consists of securities of U.S. GSEs, decreased $245.2 million from $2.05 billion at September 30, 2013 to $1.80 billion at September 30, 2014. Repayments from the MBS portfolio not reinvested in the portfolio were used to fund loan growth, pay dividends, and repurchase Company stock. The following table provides a summary of the activity in our portfolio of MBS for the periods presented. The weighted average yields and WALs for purchases are presented as recorded at the time of purchase. The weighted average yields for the beginning balances are as of the last day of the period previous to the period presented and the weighted average yield for the ending balances are as of the last day of the period presented and are generally derived from recent prepayment activity on the securities in the portfolio as of the dates presented. The weighted average yield of the MBS portfolio decreased from September 30, 2013 to September 30, 2014 primarily as a result of purchases of MBS between periods with yields less than the average yield on the existing portfolio, and to repayments of MBS with yields greater than the average yield on the existing portfolio. The beginning and ending WAL is the estimated remaining maturity (in years) after three-month historical prepayment speeds have been applied. The increase in the WAL between September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014 was due primarily to an increase in market interest rates between periods, which resulted in a decrease in realized prepayments.

Liabilities. Total liabilities were $8.37 billion at September 30, 2014 compared to $7.55 billion at September 30, 2013. The $817.8 million increase was due primarily to an $856.1 million increase in FHLB borrowings, largely due to an $800.0 million increase in the FHLB line of credit resulting from the daily leverage strategy, partially offset by a $100.0 million decrease in repurchase agreements.
Deposits - Deposits were $4.66 billion at September 30, 2014 compared to $4.61 billion at September 30, 2013. The $43.8 million increase was due primarily to a $35.1 million increase in the checking portfolio, a $13.0 million increase in the savings portfolio, and a $7.3 million increase in the money market portfolio, partially offset by an $11.2 million decrease in the retail certificate of deposit portfolio. We continue to be competitive on deposit rates and, in some cases, our offer rates for certificates of deposit have been higher than peers. If interest rates were to rise, it is possible that our customers may move the funds from their checking, savings and money market accounts to higher yielding deposit products within the Bank or withdraw their funds from these accounts, including certificates of deposit, to invest in higher yielding investments outside of the Bank.
The following table presents the amount, weighted average rate and percentage of total for the components of our deposit portfolio at the dates presented.

At September 30, 2014, brokered deposits were $41.9 million compared to $63.7 million at September 30, 2013, and had a weighted average rate of 2.93% and a remaining term to maturity of seven months. The Bank monitors the cost of brokered deposits and considers them as a potential source of funding, provided that investment opportunities are balanced with the funding cost. At September 30, 2014, public unit deposits were $258.6 million compared to $237.1 million of public unit deposits at September 30, 2013, and had a weighted average rate of 0.26% and an average remaining term to maturity of seven months. Management will continue to monitor the wholesale deposit market for attractive opportunities relative to the use of proceeds for investments.
The following tables set forth scheduled maturity information for our certificates of deposit, along with associated weighted average rates, at September 30, 2014.

Borrowings - The following tables present term borrowing activity for the periods shown, which includes FHLB advances, at par, and repurchase agreements. Line of credit activity is excluded from the following tables. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had $800.0 million outstanding on the FHLB line of credit, at a rate of 0.24%, in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy. The weighted average effective rate includes the net impact of the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from the prepayment of certain FHLB advances and deferred gains related to interest rate swaps previously terminated. Rates on new borrowings are fixed-rate. 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.

Stockholders' Equity. Stockholders' equity was $1.49 billion at September 30, 2014 compared to $1.63 billion at September 30, 2013. The $139.2 million decrease was due primarily to the payment of $138.2 million in dividends and the repurchase of $83.2 million of stock, partially offset by net income of $77.7 million. The $138.2 million in dividends paid during the current fiscal year consisted of: (1) two $0.25 per share True Blue dividends, totaling $0.50 per share, or $70.4 million; (2) an $0.18 per share, or $25.8 million, dividend related to fiscal year 2013 earnings per the Company's dividend policy; and (3) four regular quarterly dividends of $0.075 per share each quarter, totaling $0.30 per share, or $42.0 million. The $70.4 million in True Blue dividends were funded by $72.0 million in capital distributions from the Bank to the holding company.
On October 17, 2014, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share, or approximately $10.2 million, payable on November 21, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 7, 2014. On October 28, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved a special year-end dividend of $0.26 per share, or approximately $35.5 million, payable on December 5, 2014 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 21, 2014. The $0.26 per share special year-end dividend was determined by taking the difference between total earnings for fiscal year 2014 and total regular quarterly dividends paid during fiscal year 2014, divided by the number of shares outstanding as of October 28, 2014. The special year-end dividend is the result of the Board of Directors' commitment to distribute to stockholders 100% of the annual earnings of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. for fiscal year 2014.
At September 30, 2014, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $139.5 million on deposit at the Bank. For fiscal year 2015, it is the intent of the Board of Directors and management to continue with the payout of 100% of the Company's earnings to its stockholders. The payout is expected to be in the form of regular quarterly cash dividends of $0.075 per share, totaling $0.30 for the year, and a special year-end cash dividend equal to fiscal year 2015 earnings in excess of the amount paid as regular quarterly cash dividends during fiscal year 2015. It is anticipated that the fiscal year 2015 special year-end cash dividend will be paid in December 2015. 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 following table presents regular quarterly dividends and special dividends paid in calendar years 2014, 2013, and 2012. The amounts represent cash dividends paid during each period. The 2014 true-up dividend amount is management's estimate of the dividend payout as of November 17, 2014, based on the number of shares outstanding on that date and the dividend announced on October 29, 2014 of $0.26 per share.

Average Balance Sheets. The following table presents the average balances of our assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity, and the related weighted average yields and rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Weighted average yields are derived by dividing annual income by the average balance of the related assets, and weighted average rates are derived by dividing annual expense by the average balance of the related liabilities, for the periods shown. Average outstanding balances are derived from average daily balances. The yields and rates include amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts which are considered adjustments to yields/rates. Yields on tax-exempt securities were not calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The table below presents the amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, comparing fiscal years 2014 to 2013 and fiscal years 2013 to 2012. 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. 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 Years Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
For fiscal year 2014, the Company recognized net income of $77.7 million, compared to net income of $69.3 million for fiscal year 2013. The $8.4 million, or 12.0%, increase in net income was due primarily to a $6.0 million increase in net interest income, and a $5.4 million decrease in salaries and employee benefits due primarily to a reduction in ESOP-related expenses. The net interest margin increased three basis points, from 1.97% for the prior fiscal year to 2.00% for the current fiscal year. Decreases in the cost of funds and a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets from relatively lower yielding securities to higher yielding loans were the primary drivers for the higher net interest margin in the current fiscal year.
As discussed in "Executive Summary", during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Bank implemented a daily leverage strategy which increased fiscal year 2014 net income by $501 thousand. The pre-tax yield of the daily leverage strategy, which is defined as the annualized pre-tax income resulting from the transaction as a percentage of the interest-earning assets associated with the transaction, was 0.21% for the period that the strategy was in place during fiscal year 2014. Excluding the effects of the daily leverage strategy, the net interest margin would have been 2.07% for the current fiscal year.
Interest and Dividend Income
The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 16 basis points from 3.31% for the prior fiscal year to 3.15% for the current fiscal year, while the average balance of interest-earning assets increased $197.2 million from the prior fiscal year due to the daily leverage strategy. The following table presents the components of interest and dividend income for the time periods presented along with the change measured in dollars and percent.

The increase in interest income on loans receivable was due to an increase in the average balance of the portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the weighted average yield on the portfolio. The weighted average yield on the loans receivable portfolio decreased 20 basis points, from 3.98% for the prior fiscal year to 3.78% for the current fiscal year. The downward repricing of the loan portfolio was due largely to adjustable-rate loans repricing to lower rates, to loans being purchased at market rates less than or equal to the weighted average rate of the existing portfolio, and to the current fiscal year reflecting the full impact of the large volume of refinances and endorsements that occurred during the prior fiscal year.
The decrease in interest income on MBS and investment securities was due largely to a decrease in the average balance of each portfolio as cash flows not reinvested in the portfolios were used to fund loan growth, pay dividends, and repurchase stock. The average balance of the MBS portfolio decreased $316.4 million between the two periods and the average yield on the MBS portfolio decreased 12 basis points, from 2.47% during the prior fiscal year to 2.35% for the current fiscal year. The decrease in the average yield on the MBS portfolio was due primarily to purchases of MBS between periods with yields less than the average yield on the existing portfolio, and to repayments of MBS with yields greater than the average yield on the existing portfolio. Included in interest income on MBS for the current fiscal year was $5.7 million from the net amortization of premiums and the accretion of discounts, decreasing the average yield on the portfolio by 29 basis points. During the prior fiscal year, $8.0 million of net premiums were amortized and decreased the average yield on the portfolio by 35 basis points. At September 30, 2014, the net balance of premiums/(discounts) on our portfolio of MBS was $18.6 million. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due primarily to a $193.4 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio, along with a five basis point decrease in the yield, from 1.19% during the prior fiscal year, to 1.14% for the current fiscal year.
The increase in dividends on FHLB stock was due to an increase in the FHLB dividend rate between the two periods and, to a lesser extent, a $6.7 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio due to the purchase of additional shares of FHLB stock in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy. Similarly, the increase in interest income on cash and cash equivalents was due primarily to a $358.3 million increase in the average balance due to the daily leverage strategy, which was $336.8 million of the increase in the average balance during the current fiscal year.
Interest Expense
The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 25 basis points from 1.61% for the prior fiscal year to 1.36% for the current fiscal year, while the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $315.0 million from the prior fiscal year due primarily to an increase in borrowings against the FHLB line of credit in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy. The following table presents the components of interest expense for the time periods presented, along with the change measured in dollars and percent. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the portfolios between the two periods.

The weighted average rate paid on the FHLB borrowings portfolio decreased 56 basis points, from 2.77% for the prior fiscal year to 2.21% for the current fiscal year. The decrease in the average rate paid was due primarily to maturities and renewals of advances to lower market rates between periods, as well as to an increase in the use of the low-costing line of credit in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy. The average balance against the line of credit increased $331.2 million from the prior fiscal year, largely as a result of the daily leverage strategy. The average balance of FHLB advances decreased $29.4 million between periods, due primarily to some maturing advances not being renewed in their entirety. Absent the impact of the daily leverage strategy, the average rate paid on FHLB borrowings would have been 2.49% for the current fiscal year.
The decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the deposit portfolio was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the retail certificate of deposit portfolio. The weighted average rate paid on the retail certificate of deposit portfolio decreased 16 basis points, from 1.39% for the prior fiscal year to 1.23% for the current fiscal year.
The weighted average rate paid on repurchase agreements decreased 41 basis points, from 3.79% for the prior fiscal year to 3.38% for the current fiscal year. The decrease in the average rate paid on repurchase agreements was due to maturities and a new agreement entered into between periods which had a rate less than the existing portfolio.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses during the current fiscal year of $1.4 million, compared to a $1.1 million negative provision for credit losses for the prior fiscal year. The $1.4 million provision for credit losses in the current fiscal year takes into account net charge-offs of $1.0 million.

The decrease in retail fees and charges was due primarily to a decrease in service charges earned. The increase in income from BOLI was due primarily to the receipt of death benefits. The decrease in other non-interest income was due primarily to a decrease in premium income from CFMRC, as it is no longer writing new business, and to a decrease in gains on loans held-for-sale.

The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was due primarily to a decrease in ESOP-related expenses resulting largely from the final allocation of ESOP shares acquired in our initial public offering (March 1999) being made at September 30, 2013. In fiscal year 2014, the only ESOP shares allocated were shares acquired in the Company's corporate reorganization in December 2010. The increase in occupancy expense was due largely to an increase in depreciation expense, which was primarily associated with the remodeling of our home office. The increase in information technology and communications expense was primarily related to continued upgrades to our information technology infrastructure. The decrease in regulatory and outside services was due largely to the timing of fees paid for our external audit. The decrease in advertising and promotional expense was due primarily to the timing of media campaigns in fiscal year 2013, which included campaigns delayed from fiscal year 2012, as well as to a general decrease in advertising and promotional campaigns during the current year, compared to the prior year. The decrease in other non-interest expense was due largely to a decrease in the amortization
of mortgage-servicing rights assets, a decrease in OREO operations expense, and a decrease in office supplies and related expenses, partially offset by an increase in amortization of low income housing partnerships.
Included in the $7.5 million of other non-interest expense for fiscal year 2014 was $2.4 million of amortization expense associated with our investments in low income housing partnerships. During the current fiscal year, the average balance of our investments in low income housing partnerships was $38.7 million. The Company will continue to recognize the amortization of these investments as an operating expense on its income statement because of the involvement two of the Bank's officers have with the operational management of the low income housing partnership investment group. Their participation provides the investment group with additional experience in evaluating housing-related investments and policy matters related to housing investment opportunities. We invest in low income housing partnerships because we receive an income tax credit in the amount of the original investment recognized over the lifetime of the investment. The Company will deduct $3.6 million of tax credits related to its investment in low income housing partnerships for fiscal year 2014. This amount reduced the fiscal year 2014 effective tax rate by 3.1%.
Management anticipates that in fiscal year 2015, retail fees and charges earned will decrease approximately $1.3 million. Additionally, management anticipates that non-interest expense will increase in fiscal year 2015 as a result of higher costs of compliance with regulations and certain on-going operations. It is anticipated that (1) occupancy expense may increase by $500 thousand as we continue to refurbish existing branch locations; (2) information technology and communications expense could increase $1.5 million as technology is added to facilitate compliance efforts, to upgrade our disaster recovery location, and to deliver customer friendly technology; (3) federal insurance premiums may increase by $1.1 million as a result of the daily leverage strategy because the premium is based on average total assets less average tangible equity, which will partially offset the related increase in net interest income; and (4) other non-interest expense may increase by $2.0 million related to amortization expense associated with our investments in low income housing partnerships, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in low income housing tax credits which will be reflected in our effective income tax rate. Management anticipates the effective tax rate for fiscal year 2015 will be approximately 32% to 33%, based on current fiscal year 2015 estimates.
The Company's efficiency ratio was 43.72% for the current fiscal year compared to 48.13% for the prior fiscal year. The change in the efficiency ratio was due primarily to a decrease in total non-interest expense. The efficiency ratio is a measure of a financial institution's total non-interest expense as a percentage of the sum of net interest income (pre-provision for credit losses) and non-interest income. A lower value indicates that the financial institution is generating revenue with a lower level of expense.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $37.5 million for the current fiscal year compared to $36.2 million for the prior fiscal year. The $1.3 million increase between periods was due largely to an increase in pre-tax income, partially offset by a decrease in the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the current fiscal year was 32.5% compared to 34.3% for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the effective tax rate between periods was due largely to a lower amount of nondeductible ESOP-related expenses due to the final ESOP allocation on September 30, 2013, as discussed in the non-interest expense section above, along with higher tax credits related to our investments in low income housing partnerships.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012
For fiscal year 2013, the Company recognized net income of $69.3 million, compared to net income of $74.5 million for fiscal year 2012. The $5.2 million, or 6.9%, decrease in net income was due primarily to a decrease in net interest income and an increase in non-interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense and provision for credit losses.
The net interest rate spread, which represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, increased six basis points, from 1.64% for fiscal year 2012 to 1.70% for fiscal year 2013. The increase in the net interest rate spread was due to cost of funds decreasing more than the yield on interest-earning assets.
The net interest margin, which is calculated as the difference between interest income and interest expense divided by average interest-earning assets, decreased four basis points, from 2.01% for fiscal year 2012 to 1.97% for fiscal year 2013. Decreases in the cost of funds and a shift in the mix of interest-earning assets from relatively lower yielding securities to higher yielding loans mitigated the decrease in the net interest margin, but were not enough to fully offset the impact of decreasing asset yields.
Interest and Dividend Income
The weighted average yield on total interest-earning assets decreased 26 basis points from fiscal year 2012 to 3.31% for fiscal year 2013 and the average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $165.7 million from fiscal year 2012. The decrease in the weighted average balance between the two periods was primarily in the lower yielding investment securities and MBS portfolios, while the average balance of the loan portfolio increased 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. The decrease in interest income on MBS and loans receivable was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average yield of each portfolio, while the decrease in interest income on investment securities was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio.

The average yield on the loans receivable portfolio decreased 51 basis points, from 4.49% for fiscal year 2012 to 3.98% for fiscal year 2013. The decrease in the weighted average yield was due to the continued downward repricing of the existing portfolio resulting primarily from endorsements and refinances, as well as to the origination and purchase of loans at rates less than the weighted average rate of the existing portfolio. The decrease in interest income on loans receivable resulting from the decrease in the average yield was partially offset by a $481.4 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio, which was primarily a result of loan purchases between periods.
The average yield on the MBS portfolio decreased 44 basis points, from 2.91% during fiscal year 2012 to 2.47% for fiscal year 2013. The decrease in the average yield was due primarily to maturities and principal repayments of higher yielding securities in the portfolio, with proceeds being reinvested into higher yielding loans or purchases of MBS with yields less than the average yield on the existing portfolio. The maturities and repayments also resulted in the average balance of the MBS portfolio decreasing $198.0 million between the two periods.
The decrease in interest income on investment securities was due primarily to a $400.7 million decrease in the average balance of the portfolio, part of which was related to securities held at the holding company level. The cash flows from calls and maturities of investment securities that were not reinvested into the portfolio were used largely to fund loan growth, pay dividends to stockholders, and repurchase stock.
Interest Expense
The weighted average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 32 basis points from fiscal year 2012 to 1.61% for fiscal year 2013, and the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $49.2 million from fiscal year 2012. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was largely in lower rate deposit products while the average balance of certificates of deposit decreased 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. The decrease in interest expense on FHLB borrowings and deposits was due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the portfolios, while the decrease in interest expense on repurchase agreements was due primarily to a decrease in the average balance between the two years.

The weighted average rate paid on the FHLB borrowings portfolio decreased 51 basis points, from 3.28% for fiscal year 2012 to 2.77% for fiscal year 2013. The decrease in the average rate paid was due largely to the renewal of maturing advances during the two periods to lower rates.
The weighted average rate paid on the deposit portfolio decreased 22 basis points, from 1.02% for fiscal year 2012 to 0.80% for fiscal year 2013. The decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the deposit portfolio was due largely to a decrease in the weighted average rate paid on the certificate of deposit and money market portfolios. The weighted average rate paid on the certificate of deposit portfolio decreased 27 basis points, from 1.60% for fiscal year 2012 to 1.33% for fiscal year 2013. The weighted average rate paid on the money market portfolio decreased 11 basis points, from 0.32% for fiscal year 2012 to 0.21% for fiscal year 2013.
The decrease in interest expense on repurchase agreements was due primarily to a $49.9 million decrease in the average balance between periods. The decrease in the average balance was due to the maturity of $145.0 million of agreements during the fiscal year 2013, some of which were replaced with FHLB borrowings. Decreases in the average balance resulting from maturities during fiscal year 2013 were partially offset by a new $100.0 million agreement during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Provision for Credit Losses
The Bank recorded a negative provision for credit losses during fiscal year 2013 of $1.1 million, compared to a $2.0 million provision for credit losses for fiscal year 2012. The negative provision in fiscal year 2013 reflects the decrease in our net charge-offs from fiscal year 2012, specifically related to our bulk purchased loan portfolio where the majority of our charge-offs occurred in recent years, coupled with a decline in the historical loss balances utilized in the formula analysis model as older, larger losses roll off. The decrease in net charge-offs from fiscal year 2012 was due to a stabilization and/or increase in property values, specifically in some of the states where we have purchased loans, along with a decrease in the number of bulk purchased loans going 180 days delinquent, which is generally when a loan is evaluated for loss. Net charge-offs during fiscal year 2013 were $1.2 million, of which $381 thousand related to loans that were discharged primarily in a prior fiscal year under Chapter 7 bankruptcy that must be, pursuant to regulatory reporting requirements, evaluated for collateral value loss, even if they were current. Net charge-offs during fiscal year 2012 were $6.4 million, of which $3.5 million was related to the implementation of a new loan charge-off policy during January 2012 in accordance with regulatory reporting requirements. The OCC does not permit the use of SVAs, which the Bank was previously utilizing for potential loan losses, as permitted by the Bank's previous regulator.

The decrease in retail fees and charges was primarily a result of changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that reduced debit card interchange fees and established limits to fees for overdrafts of debit card transactions. The decrease in loan fees was due primarily to a decrease in servicing fees received from sold loans as a result of a decrease in our sold loan portfolio.

The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was due primarily to compensation expense on unallocated ESOP shares related to the $0.52 True Blue dividend paid in December 2012, stock option and restricted stock grants in May 2012 and September 2012, and an increase in payroll expense resulting from internal promotions and salary increases. The increase in information technology and communications expense was primarily related to continued upgrades and investments in our information technology infrastructure. The increase in occupancy expense was due largely to an increase in depreciation expense associated with the remodeling of our home office. The increase in advertising and promotional expense was due primarily to an increase in media campaigns that were delayed until fiscal year 2013. The increase in regulatory and outside services was due largely to the timing of fees paid for our external audit and an increase in fees associated with tax preparation services and professional services. The decrease in other non-interest expenses was due primarily to a decrease in OREO operations expense and to a recovery of valuation allowance expense on the mortgage-servicing rights asset compared to an impairment expense in fiscal year 2012.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $36.2 million for fiscal year 2013 compared to $41.5 million for fiscal year 2012. The $5.3 million decrease between periods was due largely to a decrease in pretax income. The effective tax rate for fiscal year 2013 was 34.3% compared to 35.8% for fiscal year 2012. The fiscal year 2013 rate is lower than the fiscal year 2012 rate due primarily to higher deductible expenses associated with the ESOP in fiscal year 2013, along with higher tax credits related to investments in our low income housing partnerships. Additionally, pre-tax income is lower than in fiscal year 2012, due primarily to the items outlined in the non-interest expense discussion above, which results in all items impacting the income tax rate having a larger impact on the overall effective tax rate than in fiscal year 2012.
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 term borrowings primarily have been used to invest in debentures and MBS in an effort 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 maintain 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 continuously monitors key liquidity statistics related to items such as wholesale funding gaps, borrowings capacity, and available unpledged collateral, along with various liquidity ratios in an effort to further mitigate liquidity risk.
In the event short-term liquidity needs exceed available cash, the Bank has access to a line of credit at the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank discount window. Additionally, all or a portion of the borrowings against the FHLB line of credit in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy could be repaid at any point in time, if necessary. Per the FHLB's lending guidelines, total FHLB borrowings cannot exceed 40% of total Bank assets, as reported on the Bank's Call Report to the OCC, without pre-approval from the FHLB president. The amount that can be borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window is based upon the fair value of securities pledged as collateral and certain other characteristics of those securities, and is used only when other sources of short-term liquidity are unavailable. Management tests the Bank's access to the Federal Reserve Bank discount window annually with a nominal, one night borrowing.
If management observes a trend in the amount and frequency of line of credit utilization that is not in conjunction with a planned management strategy, such as the daily leverage strategy, the Bank will likely utilize long-term wholesale borrowing sources such as FHLB advances and/or repurchase agreements to provide permanent fixed-rate funding. The maturity of these borrowings is generally structured in such a way as to stagger maturities in order to reduce the risk of a highly negative cash flow position at maturity.
The outstanding amount of FHLB advances was $2.58 billion at September 30, 2014, of which $600.0 million was scheduled to mature in the next 12 months. Additionally, in conjunction with the daily leverage strategy, there was $800.0 million against the FHLB line of credit at September 30, 2014. The FHLB borrowings are secured by certain qualifying loans pursuant to a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB along with certain securities. The Bank pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $488.4 million as collateral for FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, the Bank's ratio of the par value of FHLB borrowings to total assets, as reported to the OCC, was 34%. As a result of the implementation of the daily leverage strategy, FHLB borrowings to the Bank's total assets were in excess of 40% at certain times during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, and are expected to be in excess of 40% at certain times during fiscal year 2015, as long as the Bank continues its daily leverage strategy. In July 2014, the president of the FHLB approved an increase in the Bank's borrowing limit to 55% of total assets for one year.
At September 30, 2014, the Bank had repurchase agreements of $220.0 million, or approximately 2% of total assets, of which $20.0 million was scheduled to mature in the next 12 months. The Bank may enter into additional repurchase agreements as management deems appropriate, not to exceed 15% of total assets, and subject to a total borrowings limit of 55% as discussed below. The Bank has pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $247.3 million as collateral for repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2014. The securities pledged for the repurchase agreements will be delivered back to the Bank when the repurchase agreements mature.
The Bank's internal policy limits total borrowings to 55% of total assets. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had term borrowings, at par, of $2.80 billion and $800.0 million against a line of credit, for a total of $3.60 billion, or approximately 36% of total assets. Additionally, 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 September 30, 2014, the Bank had $659.9 million of securities that were eligible but unused as collateral for borrowing or other liquidity needs. This collateral amount is comprised of AFS and HTM securities with individual fair values greater than $10.0 million, which is then reduced by a collateralization ratio of 10% to account for potential market value fluctuations.
The Bank has access to and utilizes other sources for liquidity purposes, such as brokered deposits and public unit deposits. As of September 30, 2014, the Bank's policy allows for combined brokered and public unit deposits up to 15% of total deposits. At September 30, 2014, the Bank had brokered and public unit deposits totaling $300.4 million, or approximately 6% of total deposits. Management continuously monitors the wholesale deposit market for opportunities to obtain brokered and public unit deposits at attractive rates. The Bank has pledged securities with an estimated fair value of $284.3 million as collateral for public unit deposits. The securities pledged as collateral for public unit deposits are held under joint custody by the FHLB and generally will be released upon deposit maturity.
At September 30, 2014, $1.27 billion of the Bank's $2.53 billion of certificates of deposit was scheduled to mature within one year. Included in the $1.27 billion was $246.8 million of public unit and brokered deposits. 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 at the prevailing rate, although no assurance can be given in this regard. We also anticipate the majority of the $205.0 million of maturing public unit deposits will be replaced with similar wholesale funding products.
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.
At September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $810.8 million, an increase of $697.0 million from September 30, 2013. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was a result of the implementation of the daily leverage strategy during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. During fiscal year 2014, loan originations and purchases, net of principal repayments and related loan activity, resulted in a cash outflow of $280.1 million. See additional discussion regarding loan activity in "Financial Condition – Loans Receivable." During fiscal year 2014, principal payments on MBS were $388.0 million and proceeds from called or matured investment securities were $289.6 million. During fiscal year 2014, the Bank purchased $138.9 million of investment securities and $150.7 million of MBS. Cash flows from the securities portfolio which were not reinvested in the portfolio were used to fund loan growth, pay dividends, and repurchase stock.
At September 30, 2014, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $139.5 million on deposit at the Bank. During the year ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid $138.2 million in cash dividends and repurchased 6,947,065 shares at a total cost of $83.2 million. See additional discussion regarding dividends and stock repurchases in "Financial Condition - Stockholders' Equity."
As of September 30, 2014, the Bank had entered into $10.4 million of agreements in connection with the remodeling of the Bank’s Kansas City market area operations center. The existing building was constructed in 1968. The project scope includes replacement of all mechanical and electrical systems, interior finishes, and exterior building components, along with an upgrade to our disaster recovery location. The completed project will result in a more energy efficient building which is expected to lower our utility and maintenance expenses. There may be additional agreements and expenses related to the project through early fiscal year 2017, which is when the project is expected to be completed. Costs related to the project will be capitalized and depreciated according to the estimated useful life of the assets as they are placed in service.
The following table presents the contractual maturities of our loan, MBS, and investment securities portfolios at September 30, 2014, 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 September 30, 2014, the amortized cost of investment securities in our portfolio which are callable or have pre-refunding dates within one year was $488.2 million.

Limitations on Dividends and Other Capital Distributions
Although savings and loan holding companies are not currently subject to regulatory capital requirements or specific restrictions on the payment of dividends or other capital distributions, the OCC does prescribe such restrictions on subsidiary savings associations. The 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.
Generally, savings institutions, such as the Bank, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to earnings of the previous two calendar years and current year-to-date earnings under the FRB and OCC safe harbor regulations. It is generally required that the Bank remain well capitalized before and after a proposed distribution; however, an institution deemed to be in need of more than normal supervision by the OCC may have its capital distribution authority restricted. A savings institution, such as the Bank, that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company and 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, well capitalized following a proposed capital distribution, however, must obtain regulatory non-objection prior to making such 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 continues to remain well capitalized after each capital distribution 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 net income to the Company, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
The Company paid cash dividends of $138.2 million during the year ended September 30, 2014. 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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Commitments and Contractual Obligations

Excluded from the table above are immaterial amounts of income tax liabilities related to uncertain income tax positions. The amounts are excluded as management is unable to estimate the period of cash settlement as it is contingent on the statute of limitations expiring without examination by the respective taxing authority.
A percentage of commitments to originate and purchase/participate in loans are expected to expire unfunded; therefore, the amounts reflected in the table above are not necessarily indicative of future liquidity requirements. Additionally, the Bank is not obligated to honor commitments to fund unused home equity lines of credit if a customer is delinquent or otherwise in violation of the loan agreement.
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.
We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2014.
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 are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014, 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 in accordance with regulatory standards. As of September 30, 2014, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Company currently does not have any regulatory capital requirements. The following table presents the Bank's regulatory capital ratios at September 30, 2014 based upon regulatory guidelines.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk
The risk associated with changes in interest rates on the earnings of the Bank and the market value of its financial assets and liabilities is known as interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is our most significant market risk, and our ability to adapt to changes in interest rates is known as interest rate risk management. The rates of interest the Bank earns on its assets and pays on its liabilities are generally established contractually for a period of time. Fluctuations in interest rates have a significant impact not only upon our net income, but also upon the cash flows and market values of our assets and liabilities. Our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The analysis presented in the tables within this section reflect the level of market risk at the Bank.
The general objective of our interest rate risk management program is to determine and manage an appropriate level of interest rate risk while maximizing net interest income in a manner consistent with our policy to reduce, to the extent practicable, the exposure of net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The ALCO regularly reviews the interest rate risk exposure of the Bank by forecasting the impact of hypothetical, alternative interest rate environments on net interest income and the market value of portfolio equity ("MVPE") at various dates. The MVPE is defined as the net of the present value of cash flows from existing assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments. The present values are determined based upon market conditions as of the date of the analysis, as well as in alternative interest rate environments providing potential changes in the MVPE under those alternative interest rate environments. Net interest income is projected in the same alternative interest rate environments with both a static balance sheet and with management strategies considered. The MVPE and net interest income analysis are also conducted to estimate our sensitivity to rates for future time horizons based upon market conditions as of the date of the analysis. In addition to the interest rate environments presented below, management also reviews the impact of non-parallel rate shock scenarios on a quarterly basis. These scenarios consist of flattening and steepening the yield curve by changing short-term and long-term interest rates independent of each other, and simulating cash flows and determining valuations as a result of these hypothetical changes in interest rates to identify rate environments that pose the greatest risk to the Bank. This analysis helps management quantify the Bank's exposure to changes in the shape of the yield curve.
Based upon management's recommendations, the Board of Directors sets the asset and liability management policies of the Bank. These policies are implemented by ALCO. The purpose of ALCO is to communicate, coordinate, and control asset and liability management consistent with board-approved policies. ALCO's objectives are to manage assets and funding sources to produce the highest profitability balanced against liquidity, capital adequacy, and risk management objectives. At each monthly meeting, ALCO recommends appropriate strategy changes, if necessary. The Chief Financial Officer, or his designee, is responsible for executing, reviewing, and reporting on the results of the policy recommendations and strategies to the Board of Directors, generally on a monthly basis.
The ability to maximize net interest income is dependent largely upon the achievement of a positive interest rate spread that can be sustained despite fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. The asset and liability repricing gap is a measure of the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which either reprice or mature within a given period of time. The difference provides an indication of the extent to which an institution's interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-earning assets exceeds the amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing during the same period. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest-bearing liabilities exceeds the amount of interest-earning assets maturing or repricing during the same period. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap within shorter repricing periods adversely affects net interest income, while a positive gap within shorter repricing periods positively affects net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, the opposite would generally be true.
At September 30, 2014, the Bank's one-year gap between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities was negative $(81.2) million, or (0.8)% of total assets. Interest-bearing liabilities repricing to higher rates at a faster pace than interest-earning assets will generally result in net interest margin compression. The majority of the Bank's interest-bearing liabilities (borrowings and certificate of deposit portfolios) are contractual and generally cannot be terminated early without penalty; therefore, the amount expected to reprice in a given period is not usually impacted by changes in market interest rates. The majority of interest-earning assets anticipated to reprice in fiscal year 2015 are mortgages and MBS, both of which have characteristics that change projected cash flows as interest rates change. As interest rates rise, the amount of interest-earning
assets expected to reprice will likely decrease from estimated levels as borrowers and agency debt issuers will have less economic incentive to modify their cost of borrowings. This would likely result in a decrease in the Bank's net interest margin due to the interest-bearing liabilities repricing to higher interest rates faster than the interest-earning assets. If rates were to increase 200 basis points, as of September 30, 2014, the Bank's one-year gap is projected to be negative $(472.8) million, or (4.8)% of total assets.
Management recognizes that dramatic changes in interest rates within a short period of time can cause an increase in our interest rate risk. At times, ALCO may recommend increasing our interest rate risk exposure in an effort to increase our net interest margin, while maintaining compliance with established board limits for interest rate risk sensitivity. Management believes that maintaining and improving earnings is the best way to preserve a strong capital position. Management recognizes the need, in certain interest rate environments, to limit the Bank's exposure to changing interest rates and may implement strategies to reduce our interest rate risk which could, as a result, reduce earnings in the short-term. To minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged changes in interest rates on our results of operations, we have adopted asset and liability management policies to better balance the maturities and repricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities based on existing local and national interest rates.
During periods of economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, or extreme competition for loans, the Bank's ability to originate or purchase loans may be adversely affected. In such situations, the Bank alternatively may invest its funds in investment securities or MBS. These investments may have rates of interest lower than rates we could receive on loans, if we were able to originate or purchase them, potentially reducing the Bank's interest income.
As mentioned above, the shape of the yield curve also has an impact on our net interest income and, therefore, the Bank's net interest margin. Historically, the Bank has benefited from a steeper yield curve as the Bank's mortgage loans are generally priced off of long-term rates while deposits are priced off of short-term rates. A steeper yield curve (one with a greater difference between short-term rates and long-term rates) allows the Bank to receive a higher rate of interest on its mortgage-related assets relative to the rate paid for the funding of those assets, which generally results in a higher net interest margin. As the yield curve flattens, the spread between rates received on assets and paid on liabilities becomes compressed, which generally leads to a decrease in net interest margin.
General assumptions used by management to evaluate the sensitivity of our financial performance to changes in interest rates presented in the tables below are utilized in, and set forth under, the gap table and related notes. Although management finds these assumptions reasonable given the constraints described above, the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities and the estimated effects of changes in interest rates on our net interest income and MVPE indicated in the below tables could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or actual experience differs from these assumptions. To illustrate this point, the projected cumulative excess (deficiency) of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities within the next 12 months as a percent of total assets ("one-year gap") is also provided for an up 200 basis point scenario, as of September 30, 2014.
Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Percentage Change in Net Interest Income. The Bank's net interest income projections are a reflection of the response to interest rates of the assets and liabilities that are expected to mature or reprice over the next year. Repricing can occur as a result of variable interest rate characteristics of the Bank's assets or liabilities as a result of cash flows that are received or paid on assets or due on liabilities which would be replaced at then current market interest rates. The Bank's borrowings and certificate of deposit portfolios have stated maturities and the cash flows related to the Bank's liabilities do not generally fluctuate as a result of changes in interest rates. Cash flows from mortgage-related assets and callable agency debentures can vary significantly as a result of changes in interest rates. As interest rates decrease, borrowers have an economic incentive to lower their cost of debt by refinancing or endorsing their mortgage to a lower interest rate. Similarly, agency debt issuers are more likely to exercise embedded call options for agency securities and issue new securities at a lower interest rate.
For each period presented in the following table, the estimated percentage change in the Bank's net interest income based on the indicated instantaneous, parallel and permanent change in interest rates is presented. The percentage change in each interest rate environment represents the difference between estimated net interest income in the 0 basis point interest rate environment ("base case," assumes the forward market and product interest rates implied by the yield curve are realized) and the estimated net interest income in each alternative interest rate environment (assumes market and product interest rates have a parallel shift in rates across all maturities by the indicated change in rates). Estimations of net interest income used in preparing the table below were based upon the assumptions that the total composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities do not change materially and that any repricing of assets or liabilities occurs at anticipated product and market rates for the alternative rate environments as of the dates presented. The estimation of net interest income does not include any projected gains or losses related to the sale of loans or securities, or income derived from non-interest income sources, but does include the use of different prepayment assumptions in the alternative interest rate environments. It is important to consider that estimated changes in net interest income are for a cumulative four-quarter period. These do not reflect the earnings expectations of management.

The projected percentage change in net interest income was more adversely impacted by higher interest rates at September 30, 2014 than at September 30, 2013. This was largely driven by a change from a positive gap position in the base case rate scenario at September 30, 2013 to a negative gap position at September 30, 2014. Due to the change in gap position, it is expected that liabilities will reprice higher and at a faster pace in a rising interest rate scenario at September 30, 2014 as compared to September 30, 2013. The change to a negative gap position at September 30, 2014 was caused by a decrease in the amount of anticipated cash flows from the investment securities portfolio in the 12-month horizon, compared to September 30, 2013, due to a decrease in the overall balance of the investment securities portfolio, as well as to an increase in interest rates in the front-to-middle part of the yield curve compared to the previous year. Interest rates in the 2- to 5-year points of the yield curve have a greater impact on the Bank's investment securities portfolio, compared to the Bank's mortgage loan portfolio, because of the short-term nature of these assets. Cash flow projections from the mortgage loan portfolio are impacted to a greater degree by longer-term interest rates, which decreased year-over-year. Since the interest rates in the front-to-middle part of the yield curve were higher, prepayment expectations on the Bank's shorter-term MBS and call projections on the Bank's callable agency debentures decreased, which reduced the projected cash flows from these assets. This was somewhat offset by lower mortgage interest rates, which increased the projected cash flows on mortgage loans, particularly the Bank's 30-year mortgage loans. Additionally, the amount of liabilities expected to reprice over the 12-month horizon at September 30, 2014 increased from the projections at September 30, 2013 due primarily to an increase in the contractual maturities of certificates of deposit and term borrowings. See the Gap Table below for additional information.
Percentage Change in MVPE. Changes in the estimated market values of our financial assets and liabilities drive changes in estimates of MVPE. The market value of an asset or liability reflects the present value of all the projected cash flows over its remaining life, discounted at current market interest rates. As interest rates rise, generally the market value for both financial assets and liabilities decrease. The opposite is generally true as interest rates fall. The MVPE represents the theoretical market value of capital that is calculated by netting the market value of assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments. If the market values of financial assets increase at a faster pace than the market values of financial liabilities, or if the market values of financial liabilities decrease at a faster pace than the market values of financial assets, the MVPE will increase. The magnitude of the changes in the Bank's MVPE represents the Bank's interest rate risk. The market value of shorter term-to-maturity financial instruments is less sensitive to changes in interest rates than are longer term-to-maturity financial instruments. Because of this, the market values of our certificates of deposit (which generally have relatively shorter average lives) tend to display less sensitivity to changes in interest rates than do our mortgage-related assets (which
generally have relatively longer average lives). The average life expected on our mortgage-related assets varies under different interest rate environments because borrowers have the ability to prepay their mortgage loans. Therefore, as interest rates decrease, the WAL of mortgage-related assets decrease as well. As interest rates increase, the WAL would be expected to increase, as well as increasing the sensitivity of these assets in higher rate environments.
The following table sets forth the estimated percentage change in the MVPE for each period presented based on the indicated instantaneous, parallel and permanent change in interest rates. The percentage change in each interest rate environment represents the difference between the MVPE in the base case (assumes the forward market interest rates implied by the yield curve are realized) and the MVPE in each alternative interest rate environment (assumes market interest rates have a parallel shift in rates). The estimations of the MVPE used in preparing the table below were based upon the assumptions that the total composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities do not change, that any repricing of assets or liabilities occurs at current product or market rates for the alternative rate environments as of the dates presented, and that different prepayment rates were used in each alternative interest rate environment. The estimated MVPE results from the valuation of cash flows from financial assets and liabilities over the anticipated lives of each for each interest rate environment. The table below presents the effects of the changes in interest rates on our assets and liabilities as they mature, repay, or reprice, as shown by the change in the MVPE for alternative interest rates.

The percentage change in the Bank's MVPE was adversely impacted by rising interest rates at both September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2014. This was due primarily to the Bank's mortgage-related assets and callable investment securities. Prepayments on mortgage-related assets in the higher interest rate environments will likely only be realized through changes in borrowers' lives such as divorce, death, job-related relocations, or other life changing events, resulting in an increase in the average life of mortgage-related assets. Similarly, call projections for the Bank's callable agency debentures decrease as interest rates rise, which results in their cash flows moving towards their contractual maturity dates. The longer expected average lives of these assets, relative to the assumptions in the base case interest rate environment, increased the sensitivity of their market value to changes in interest rates. As a result, the market value of the Bank's financial assets decreased more than the decrease in the market value of its financial liabilities, resulting in a decrease in the MVPE in all interest rate environments. However, the percentage change in the Bank's MVPE at September 30, 2014 was less adversely impacted by higher interest rates than at September 30, 2013 due primarily to lower long-term interest rates, particularly lower mortgage interest rates, at September 30, 2014 than at September 30, 2013. The decrease in long-term interest rates primarily occurred at the end of fiscal year 2014; therefore, most of the loans originated and purchased during the current fiscal year were at rates higher than the rates at the September 30, 2014. Since interest rates were lower at September 30, 2014, projected prepayments increased because borrowers had more of an economic incentive to refinance or endorse their mortgages to a lower interest rate. This results in shorter WALs and, thus, less sensitivity to rising interest rates, compared to September 30, 2013.

(1) | ARM loans are included in the period in which the rate is next scheduled to adjust or in the period in which repayments are expected to occur, or prepayments are expected to be received, prior to their next rate adjustment, rather than in the period in which the loans are due. Fixed-rate loans are included in the periods in which they are scheduled to be repaid, based on scheduled amortization and prepayment assumptions. Balances are net of deferred fees and exclude loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure. |
| |
(2) | Based on contractual maturities, term to call dates or pre-refunding dates as of September 30, 2014, at amortized cost. |
| |
(3) | Reflects projected prepayments of MBS, at amortized cost. |
| |
(4) | Although the Bank's checking, savings, and money market accounts are subject to immediate withdrawal, management considers a substantial amount of these accounts to be core deposits having significantly longer effective maturities. The decay rates (the assumed rates at which the balances of existing accounts decline) used on these accounts is based on assumptions developed from our actual experiences with these accounts. If all of the Bank's checking, savings, and money market accounts had been assumed to be subject to repricing within one year, interest-bearing liabilities which were estimated to mature or reprice within one year would have exceeded interest-earning assets with comparable characteristics by $1.72 billion, for a cumulative one-year gap of (17.4)% of total assets. |
| |
(5) | Borrowings exclude deferred prepayment penalty costs and deferred gains on terminated interest rate swap agreements. |
The decrease in the one-year gap from 4.04% at September 30, 2013, to negative (0.82)% at September 30, 2014, was largely driven by the decrease in the amount of cash flows from the investment securities portfolio expected to reprice in the next 12 months due to a decrease in the overall balance of the investment securities portfolio, as well as to an increase in interest rates in the front-to-middle part of the yield curve compared to September 30, 2013. Additionally, the amount of liabilities expected to reprice over the 12-month horizon at September 30, 2014 increased from the projections at September 30, 2013 due primarily to an increase in the contractual maturities of certificates of deposit and borrowings. See additional information regarding the change in the gap position year-over-year in "Percentage Change in Net Interest Income."
If interest rates were to increase 200 basis points at September 30, 2014, the Bank's one-year gap would become more negative. The +200 basis point gap in this scenario would be negative (4.79)% of total assets at September 30, 2014. This indicates that the projected cash flows from the Bank's mortgage-related assets and callable investment securities would decrease over the next 12 months, if interest rates were to increase 200 basis points, as a result of the diminished economic incentive to prepay mortgages or exercise embedded call options for the debtor.
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 the date presented. 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 net impact of the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties resulting from the prepayment of certain FHLB advances and deferred gains related to interest rate swaps previously terminated. The loan terms presented for one- to four-family loans represent the contractual terms of the loan.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. and subsidiary
Topeka, Kansas
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of September 30, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's Board of Directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2014 of the Company and our report dated November 26, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. and subsidiary as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated November 26, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business - Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. (the "Company") provides a full range of retail banking services through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Capitol Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), a federal savings bank, which has 37 traditional and 10 in-store banking offices serving primarily the metropolitan areas of Topeka, Wichita, Lawrence, Manhattan, Emporia and Salina, Kansas and portions of the metropolitan area of greater Kansas City. The Bank emphasizes mortgage lending, primarily originating and purchasing one- to four-family mortgage loans, and providing personal retail financial services. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and other companies that provide financial services.
Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. The Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, Capitol Funds, Inc. Capitol Funds, Inc. has a wholly owned subsidiary, Capitol Federal Mortgage Reinsurance Company ("CFMRC"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), and require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
The Bank has an expense sharing agreement with the Company that covers the reimbursement of certain expenses that are allocable to the Company. These expenses include compensation, rent for leased office space, and general overhead expenses.
The Company, Bank, Capitol Funds, Inc. and CFMRC have a tax allocation agreement. The Bank is the paying agent to the taxing authorities for the group for all periods presented. Each company is liable for taxes as if separate tax returns were filed and reimburses the Bank for its pro rata share of the tax liability. If any entity has a tax benefit, the Bank reimburses the entity for its tax benefit.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts due from banks. Regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") require federally chartered savings banks to maintain cash reserves against their transaction accounts. Required reserves must be maintained in the form of vault cash, an account at a Federal Reserve Bank, or a pass-through account as defined by the FRB. The amount of interest-earning deposits held at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $797.3 million and $98.7 million, respectively. The Bank is in compliance with the FRB requirements. For the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the average daily balance of required reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank was $9.1 million and $9.0 million, respectively.
Securities - Securities include mortgage-backed and agency securities issued primarily by United States Government-Sponsored Enterprises ("GSE"), including Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal Home Loan Banks, United States Government agencies, including Government National Mortgage Association, and municipal bonds. Securities are classified as HTM, AFS, or trading based on management's intention for holding the securities on the date of purchase. Generally, classifications are made in response to liquidity needs, asset/liability management strategies, and the market interest rate environment at the time of purchase.
Securities that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as HTM and reported at amortized cost. Such securities are adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts which are recognized as adjustments to interest income over the life of the securities using the level-yield method.
Securities that management may sell if necessary for liquidity or asset management purposes are classified as AFS and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of AOCI within stockholders' equity, net of deferred income taxes. The amortization of premiums and discounts are recognized as adjustments to interest income over the life of the securities using the level-yield method. Gains or losses on the disposition of AFS securities are recognized using the specific identification method. The Company primarily uses prices obtained from third party pricing services to
determine the fair value of securities. See additional discussion of fair value of AFS securities in "Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments."
Securities that are purchased and held principally for resale in the near future are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, neither the Company nor the Bank maintained a trading securities portfolio.
Management monitors the securities portfolio for impairment on an ongoing basis and performs a formal review quarterly. The process involves monitoring market events and other items that could impact issuers. The evaluation includes, but is not limited to, such factors as: the nature of the investment, the length of time the security has had a fair value less than the amortized cost basis, the cause(s) and severity of the loss, expectation of an anticipated recovery period, recent events specific to the issuer or industry including the issuer's financial condition and current ability to make future payments in a timely manner, external credit ratings and recent downgrades in such ratings, management's intent to sell and whether it is more likely than not management would be required to sell prior to recovery for debt securities. Management determines whether other-than-temporary losses should be recognized for impaired securities by assessing all known facts and circumstances surrounding the securities. If management intends to sell an impaired security or if it is more likely than not that management will be required to sell an impaired security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred and the difference between amortized cost and fair value will be recognized as a loss in earnings and the security will be written down to fair value. Such losses would be included in non-interest income in the consolidated statements of income.
Loans Receivable - Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future are carried at the amount of unpaid principal, net of ACL, undisbursed loan funds, unamortized premiums and discounts, and deferred loan origination fees and costs. Net loan origination fees and costs, and premiums and discounts are amortized as yield adjustments to interest income using the level-yield method, adjusted for the estimated prepayment speeds of the related loans when applicable. Interest on loans is credited to income as earned and accrued only if deemed collectible.
Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") - For borrowers experiencing financial difficulties, the Bank may grant a concession to the borrower. Generally, the Bank grants a short-term payment concession to borrowers who are experiencing a temporary cash flow problem. The most frequently used concession is to reduce the monthly payment amount for a period of 6 to 12 months, often by requiring payments of only interest and escrow during this period, resulting in an extension of the maturity date of the loan. For more severe situations requiring long-term solutions, the Bank also offers interest rate reductions to currently-offered rates and the capitalization of delinquent interest and/or escrow resulting in an extension of the maturity date of the loan. The Bank does not forgive principal or interest nor does it commit to lend additional funds, except for situations generally involving the capitalization of delinquent interest and/or escrow not to exceed the original loan balance, to these borrowers.
Endorsed loans are classified as TDRs when certain guidelines for soft credit scores and/or estimated loan-to-value ("LTV") ratios are not met. These guidelines are intended to identify changes in the borrower's credit condition since origination, signifying the borrower could be experiencing financial difficulties even though the borrower has not been delinquent on his contractual loan payment in the previous 12 months.
The TDRs discussed above will be reported as such until paid-off, unless the loan has been restructured to an interest rate equal to or greater than the rate the Bank was willing to accept at the time of the restructuring for a new loan with comparable risk, and has performed under the new terms of the restructuring agreement for at least 12 consecutive months.
Additionally, loans that have been discharged under Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings where the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt owed to the lender ("Chapter 7 loans") are reported as TDRs, regardless of their delinquency status, pursuant to regulatory reporting requirements. These loans will be reported as TDRs until the borrower has made 48 consecutive monthly loan payments after the Chapter 7 discharge date.
Delinquent loans - A loan is considered delinquent when payment has not been received within 30 days of its contractual due date.
Nonaccrual loans - The accrual of income on loans is discontinued when interest or principal payments are 90 days in arrears or for certain TDR loans that are required to be reported as such pursuant to regulatory reporting requirements. Loans on which the accrual of income has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual and outstanding interest previously credited beyond 90 days delinquent is reversed. A nonaccrual loan is returned to accrual status once the contractual payments have been made to bring the loan less than 90 days past due or, in the case of a TDR loan, the borrower has made the required consecutive loan payments.
Impaired loans - A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized in the period collected unless the ultimate collection of principal is considered doubtful. The following types of loans are reported as impaired loans: all nonaccrual loans, loans classified as substandard, loans partially charged-off, Chapter 7 loans, and all TDRs except those that have been restructured to an interest rate equal to or greater than the rate the Bank was willing to accept at the time of the restructuring for a new loan with comparable risk, and has performed under the new terms of the restructuring agreement for at least 12 consecutive months.
The majority of the Bank's impaired loans are related to one- to four-family properties. Impaired loans related to one- to four-family properties are individually evaluated for loss when the loan becomes 180 days delinquent or at any time management has knowledge of the existence of a potential loss to ensure that the carrying value of the loan is not in excess of the fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs.
Allowance for Credit Losses - The ACL represents management's best estimate of the amount of inherent losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date, involves a high degree of complexity, and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments and assumptions about highly uncertain matters. Management's methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the ACL consists of a formula analysis model, along with analyzing several other factors. The use of different judgments and assumptions could cause reported results to differ significantly. Management maintains the ACL through provisions for credit losses that are either charged to or credited to income.
One- to four-family loans, including home equity loans, are individually evaluated for loss when the loan is generally 180 days delinquent and any losses are charged-off. Losses are based on new collateral values obtained through appraisals, less estimated costs to sell. Anticipated private mortgage insurance proceeds are taken into consideration when calculating the loss amount. An updated appraisal is requested, at a minimum, every 12 months thereafter if the loan is 180 days or more delinquent or in foreclosure. If the Bank holds the first and second mortgage, both loans are combined when evaluating whether there is a potential loss on the loan. For multi-family and commercial loans, losses are charged-off when the collection of such amounts is determined to be unlikely. When a non-real estate secured loan, which includes consumer loans - other, is 120 days delinquent, any identified losses are charged-off. Charge-offs for any loan type may also occur at any time if the Bank has knowledge of the existence of a potential loss. Loans individually evaluated for loss are excluded from the formula analysis model.
The Bank's primary lending emphasis is the origination and purchase of one- to four-family loans and, to a lesser extent, consumer loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties, resulting in a loan concentration in residential mortgage loans. The Bank has a concentration of loans secured by residential property located in Kansas and Missouri. Based on the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio, the primary risk characteristics inherent in the one- to four-family and consumer loan portfolios are a decline in economic conditions, elevated levels of unemployment or underemployment, and declines in residential real estate values. Any one or a combination of these events may adversely affect borrowers' ability to repay their loans, resulting in increased delinquencies, non-performing assets, loan losses, and future loan loss provisions. Although the multi-family and commercial loan portfolio is subject to the same risk of declines in economic conditions, the primary risk characteristics inherent in this portfolio include the ability of the borrower to sustain sufficient cash flows from leases and to control expenses to satisfy their contractual debt payments, and/or the ability to utilize personal and/or business resources to pay their contractual debt payments if the cash flows are not sufficient. Additionally, if the Bank were to repossess the secured collateral of a multi-family or commercial loan, the pool of potential buyers is typically limited more than that for a residential property. This increases the risk that the Bank could hold the property for an extended period of time and/or potentially be forced to sell at a discounted price, resulting in additional losses.
Each quarter, a formula analysis is prepared which segregates the loan portfolio into categories based on certain risk characteristics. The categories include the following: one- to four-family loans; multi-family and commercial loans; consumer home equity loans; and other consumer loans. Home equity loans with the same underlying collateral as a one- to four-family loan are combined with the one- to four-family loan in the formula analysis model to calculate a combined LTV ratio. The one- to four-family loan portfolio and related home equity loans are segregated into additional categories based on the following risk characteristics: originated and correspondent purchased, or bulk purchased; interest payments (fixed-rate and adjustable-rate/interest-only); LTV ratios; borrower's credit scores; and certain geographic locations. The categories were derived by management based on reviewing the historical performance of the one- to four-family loan portfolio and taking into consideration current economic conditions, such as trends in residential real estate values in certain areas of the U.S. and unemployment rates.
Quantitative loss factors are applied to each loan category in the formula analysis model based on the historical loss experience for each respective loan category. Each quarter, management reviews the historical loss time periods and utilizes the historical loss time periods believed to be the most reflective of the current economic conditions.
Qualitative loss factors are applied to each loan category in the formula analysis model. The qualitative loss factors that are applied in the formula analysis model for one- to four-family and consumer loan portfolios are: unemployment rate trends; collateral value trends; credit score trends; delinquent loan trends; and a factor based on management's judgment of certain segments of the portfolio and related loan product mix. The qualitative loss factors that are applied in the formula analysis model for multi-family and commercial loan portfolio are: delinquent loan trends and a factor based on management's judgment due to the higher risk nature of these loans, compared to one- to four-family loans. As loans are classified or become delinquent, the qualitative loss factors increase for each respective loan category. Additionally, TDRs that have not been individually evaluated for loss are included in a category within the formula analysis model with an overall higher qualitative loss factor than corresponding performing loans, for the life of the loan. The qualitative factors were derived by management based on a review of the historical performance of the respective loan portfolios and consideration of current economic conditions and their likely impact to the loan portfolio.
Management utilizes the formula analysis, along with considering several other data elements when evaluating the adequacy of the ACL. Such data elements include the trend and composition of delinquent loans, trends in foreclosed property and short sale transactions and charge-off activity, the current status and trends of local and national economies (particularly levels of unemployment), trends and current conditions in the real estate and housing markets, loan portfolio growth and concentrations, and certain ACL ratios such as ACL to loans receivable, net and annualized historical losses to ACL. Since the Bank's loan portfolio is primarily concentrated in one- to four-family real estate, management monitors residential real estate market value trends in the Bank's local market areas and geographic sections of the U.S. by reference to various industry and market reports, economic releases and surveys, and management's general and specific knowledge of the real estate markets in which the Bank lends, in order to determine what impact, if any, such trends may have on the level of ACL. Reviewing these qualitative factors assists management in evaluating the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio and the reasonableness of the ACL on an ongoing basis, and whether changes need to be made to the Bank's ACL methodology. Management seeks to apply the ACL methodology in a consistent manner; however, the methodology can be modified in response to changing conditions. Although management believes the ACL was at a level adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2014, the level of the ACL remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term changes.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - As a member of FHLB Topeka, the Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of FHLB stock. The Bank's holding requirement varies based on the Bank's activities, primarily the Bank's outstanding borrowings, with the FHLB. FHLB stock is carried at cost and is considered a restricted asset because it cannot be pledged as collateral or bought or sold on the open market and it also has certain redemption restrictions. Management conducts a quarterly evaluation to determine if any FHLB stock impairment exists. The quarterly impairment evaluation focuses primarily on the capital adequacy and liquidity of the FHLB, while also considering the impact that legislative and regulatory developments may have on the FHLB. Stock and cash dividends received on FHLB stock are reflected as dividend income in the consolidated statements of income.
Premises and Equipment - Land is carried at cost. Buildings, leasehold improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and leasehold amortization. Buildings, furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. Buildings have an estimated useful life of 39 years. Structural components of the buildings generally have an estimated life of 15 years. Furniture, fixtures and equipment have an estimated useful life of three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the respective leases, which is generally three to 15 years. The costs for major improvements and renovations are capitalized, while maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Gains and losses on dispositions are recorded as non-interest income or non-interest expense as incurred.
Income Taxes - The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes expense (benefit) represents the change in deferred income tax assets and liabilities excluding the tax effects of the change in net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS securities and changes in the market value of restricted stock between the grant date and vesting date. Income tax related penalties and interest are included in income tax expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Certain tax benefits attributable to stock options and restricted stock are credited to additional paid-in capital. To the extent that management considers it more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be recovered, a valuation allowance is recorded. All positive and negative evidence is reviewed in determining how much of a valuation allowance is recognized on a quarterly basis.
Certain accounting literature prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an uncertain tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are included within the related tax liabilities line in the consolidated balance sheet.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The funds borrowed by the ESOP from the Company to purchase the Company's common stock are being repaid from dividends paid on unallocated ESOP shares and, if necessary, contributions by the Bank. The shares pledged as collateral are reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity at cost. As ESOP shares are committed to be released from collateral each quarter, the Company records compensation expense based on the average market price of the Company's stock during the quarter. Additionally, the shares become outstanding for earnings per share ("EPS") computations once they are committed to be released. The eligibility criteria for participation in the Company's ESOP is a minimum of one year of service, at least age 21, and at least 1,000 hours of employment in each plan year.
Stock-based Compensation - The Company has share-based plans under which stock options and restricted stock awards have been granted. Compensation expense is recognized over the service period of the share-based payment award. The Company utilizes a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for the share-based payment transactions with employees, except for equity instruments held by the ESOP. The Company applies the modified prospective method in which compensation cost is recognized over the service period for all awards granted.
Borrowed Funds - The Bank enters into repurchase agreements, which are sales of securities under agreements to repurchase, with approved counterparties. These agreements are recorded as financing transactions, and thereby reported as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, as the Bank maintains effective control over the transferred securities and the securities continue to be carried in the Bank's securities portfolio. The securities are delivered to the party with whom each transaction is executed and they agree to resell to the Bank the same securities at the maturity of the agreement. The Bank retains the right to substitute similar or like securities throughout the terms of the agreements. The collateral is subject to valuation at current market levels and the Bank may ask for the return of excess collateral or be required to post additional collateral due to market value changes or as a result of principal payments received.
The Bank has obtained borrowings from the FHLB in the form of advances and a line of credit. Total FHLB borrowings are secured by certain qualifying loans pursuant to a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB and certain securities. Per the FHLB's lending guidelines, total FHLB borrowings cannot exceed 40% of total Bank assets, as reported on the Bank's Call Report to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"), without pre-approval from the FHLB president. In July 2014, the president of the FHLB approved an increase in the Bank's borrowing limit to 55% of total assets for one year. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Bank's FHLB borrowings to the Bank's total assets was in excess of 40%. See additional discussion in "Note 6 - Deposits and Borrowed Funds - FHLB Borrowings." Additionally, the Bank is authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank's "discount window."
Segment Information - As a community-oriented financial institution, substantially all of the Bank's operations involve the delivery of loan and deposit products to customers. Management makes operating decisions and assesses performance based on an ongoing review of these community banking operations, which constitute the Company's only operating segment for financial reporting purposes.
Earnings Per Share - Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (such as stock options) were exercised or resulted in the issuance of common stock. These potentially dilutive shares would then be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method. Shares issued and shares reacquired during any period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding.
In computing both basic and diluted EPS, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding includes the ESOP shares previously allocated to participants and shares committed to be released for allocation to participants and restricted stock shares which have vested or have been allocated to participants. ESOP shares that have not been committed to be released are excluded from the computation of basic and diluted EPS. Unvested restricted stock awards contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and are treated as participating securities in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The ASU requires new disclosures regarding the nature of an entity's rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new disclosures are designed to make GAAP financial statements more comparable to those prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards. The new disclosures entail presenting information about both gross and net exposures. The new disclosure requirements were effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, which was October 1, 2013 for the Company, and interim periods therein; retrospective application is required. The adoption of this ASU was disclosure-related and therefore did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations when adopted on October 1, 2013.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The ASU clarifies the scope of the offsetting disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. These standards were effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, which was October 1, 2013 for the Company. The standards are disclosure-related and therefore, their adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations when adopted on October 1, 2013.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which is intended to improve the transparency of changes in other comprehensive income and items reclassified out of AOCI. The standard requires entities to disaggregate the total change of each component of other comprehensive income and separately present reclassification adjustments and current period other comprehensive income. Additionally, the standard requires that significant items reclassified out of AOCI be presented by component either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, which was October 1, 2013 for the Company, and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU is disclosure-related and therefore did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations when adopted on October 1, 2013.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. The ASU provides recognition, measurement, and disclosure guidance for certain obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. ASU 2013-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, which is October 1, 2014 for the Company, and should be applied retrospectively. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or result of operations when adopted on October 1, 2014.
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects. The ASU revised the conditions that an entity must meet to elect to use the effective yield method when accounting for qualified affordable housing project investments. Per current accounting guidance, an entity that invests in a qualified affordable housing project may elect to account for that investment using the effective yield method if all required conditions are met. For those investments that are not accounted for using the effective yield method, current accounting guidance requires that the investments be accounted for under either the equity method or the cost method. Certain existing conditions required to be met to use the effective yield method are restrictive and thus prevent many such investments from qualifying for the use of the effective yield method. The ASU replaces the effective yield method with the proportional amortization method and modifies the conditions that an entity must meet to be eligible to use a method other than the equity or cost methods to account for qualified affordable housing project investments. If the modified conditions are met, the ASU permits an entity to use the proportional amortization method to amortize the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the amount of tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognize the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense. Additionally, the ASU requires new disclosures about all investments in qualified affordable housing projects irrespective of the method used to account for the investments. ASU 2014-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, which is October 1, 2015 for the Company, and should be applied retrospectively. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or result of operations when adopted.
In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The ASU clarifies when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The ASU also requires disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by a creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU 2014-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, which is October 1, 2015 for the Company, and can be applied using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or result of operations when adopted.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU clarifies principles for recognizing revenue and provides a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Additionally, the ASU provides implementation guidance on several topics and requires entities to disclose both quantitative and qualitative information regarding contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, which is October 1, 2017 for the Company, and can be applied using either a retrospective or cumulative-effect transition method. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has not yet completed its evaluation of this ASU.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The ASU makes limited amendments to the current guidance on accounting for certain repurchase agreements. The ASU also expands disclosure requirements for certain transfers of financial assets accounted for as sales or as secured borrowings. The accounting changes in ASU 2014-11 are effective for the first quarterly period or fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2014, which is January 1, 2015 for the Company, and should be applied using a cumulative-effect transition method. The expanded disclosure requirements for ASU 2014-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and for quarterly periods beginning after March 15, 2015, which is April 1, 2015 for the Company. The Company accounts for its repurchase agreements as secured borrowings; therefore, the accounting requirements of ASU 2014-11 are not expected to have an impact on its financial condition or results of operations when adopted.
2. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Shares acquired by the ESOP are not considered in the basic average shares outstanding until the shares are committed for allocation or vested to an employee's individual account. Unvested shares awarded pursuant to the Company's restricted stock benefit plans are treated as participating securities in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method as they contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. The two-class method is an earnings allocation that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security.

The unrealized losses at September 30, 2014 were primarily a result of an increase in market yields from the time the securities were purchased. In general, as market yields rise, the fair value of securities will decrease; as market yields fall, the fair value of securities will increase. Management generally views changes in fair value caused by changes in interest rates as temporary; therefore, these securities have not been classified as other-than-temporarily impaired. Additionally, the impairment is also considered temporary because scheduled coupon payments have been made, it is anticipated that the entire principal balance will be collected as scheduled, and management neither intends to sell the securities, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of the remaining amortized cost amount, which could be at maturity. As a result of the analysis, management does not believe any other-than-temporary impairments existed at September 30, 2014. See "Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Securities" for additional information regarding our impairment review and classification process for securities.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities as of September 30, 2014, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities due to prepayment or early call privileges by the issuer.

As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Bank serviced loans for others aggregating approximately $195.0 million and $237.7 million, respectively. Such loans are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Servicing loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing. Loan servicing income includes servicing fees withheld from investors and certain charges collected from borrowers, such as late payment fees. The Bank held borrowers' escrow balances on loans serviced for others of $3.4 million and $4.1 million as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Lending Practices and Underwriting Standards - Originating and purchasing one- to four-family loans is the Bank's primary lending business, resulting in a loan concentration in residential first mortgage loans. The Bank purchases one- to four-family loans, on a loan-by-loan basis, from a select group of correspondent lenders, and also originates consumer loans, commercial and multi-family real estate loans, and construction loans secured by residential, multi-family or commercial real estate. As a result of our one- to four-family lending activities, the Bank has a concentration of loans secured by real property located in Kansas and Missouri.
One- to four-family loans - Full documentation to support an applicant's credit and income, and sufficient funds to cover all applicable fees and reserves at closing, are required on all loans. Loans are underwritten according to the "ability to repay" and "qualified mortgage" standards, as issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, with total debt-to-income ratios not exceeding 43% of a borrower's verified income. Properties securing one- to four-family loans are appraised by either staff appraisers or fee appraisers, both of which are independent of the loan origination function and approved by our Board of Directors.
The underwriting standards for loans purchased from correspondent and nationwide lenders are generally similar to the Bank's internal underwriting standards. The underwriting of correspondent loans is performed by the Bank's underwriters. For the tables within this Note, correspondent purchased loans are included with originated loans, and bulk purchased loans are reported as purchased loans.
The Bank also originates construction-to-permanent loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate. Construction loans are obtained by homeowners who will occupy the property when construction is complete. Construction loans to builders for speculative purposes are not permitted. All construction loans are manually underwritten using the Bank's internal underwriting standards. Construction draw requests and the supporting documentation are reviewed and approved by management. The Bank also performs regular documented inspections of the construction project to ensure the funds are being used for the intended purpose and the project is being completed according to the plans and specifications provided.
Multi-family and commercial loans - The Bank's multi-family, commercial real estate, and related construction loans are originated by the Bank or are in participation with a lead bank. These loans are granted based on the income producing potential of the property and the financial strength of the borrower and/or guarantor. At the time of origination, LTV ratios on multi-family, commercial real estate, and related construction loans cannot exceed 80% of the appraised value of the property securing the loans. The net operating income, which is the income derived from the operation of the property less all operating expenses, must be in excess of the required payments related to the outstanding debt at the time of origination. The Bank generally requires personal guarantees from the borrowers covering a portion of the debt in addition to the security property as collateral for these loans. Appraisals on properties securing these loans are performed by independent state certified fee appraisers.
Consumer loans - The Bank offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity loans and lines of credit, home improvement loans, auto loans, and loans secured by savings deposits. The Bank also originates a very limited amount of unsecured loans. The Bank does not originate any consumer loans on an indirect basis, such as contracts purchased from retailers of goods or services which have extended credit to their customers. The majority of the consumer loan portfolio is comprised of home equity lines of credit for which the Bank also has the first mortgage or the home equity line of credit is in the first lien position.
The underwriting standards for consumer loans include a determination of an applicant's payment history on other debts and an assessment of an applicant's ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of an applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Credit Quality Indicators - Based on the Bank's lending emphasis and underwriting standards, management has segmented the loan portfolio into three segments: (1) one- to four-family loans; (2) consumer loans; and (3) multi-family and commercial loans. The one- to four-family and consumer segments are further segmented into classes for purposes of providing disaggregated information about the credit quality of the loan portfolio. The classes are: one- to four-family loans - originated, one- to four-family loans - purchased, consumer loans - home equity, and consumer loans - other.
The Bank's primary credit quality indicators for the one- to four-family loan and consumer - home equity loan portfolios are delinquency status, asset classifications, LTV ratios, and borrower credit scores. The Bank's primary credit quality indicators for the multi-family and commercial loan and consumer - other loan portfolios are delinquency status and asset classifications.
The following tables present the recorded investment, by class, in loans 30 to 89 days delinquent, loans 90 or more days delinquent or in foreclosure, total delinquent loans, total current loans, and total recorded investment at the dates presented. The recorded investment in loans is defined as the unpaid principal balance of a loan (net of unadvanced funds related to loans in process), less charge-offs and inclusive of unearned loan fees and deferred costs. At September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, all loans 90 or more days delinquent were on nonaccrual status.

In accordance with the Bank's asset classification policy, management regularly reviews the problem loans in the Bank's portfolio to determine whether any loans require classification. Loan classifications are defined as follows:
| |
• | Special mention - These loans are performing loans on which known information about the collateral pledged or the possible credit problems of the borrower(s) have caused management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower(s) to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the non-performing loan categories. |
| |
• | Substandard - A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans include those characterized by the distinct possibility the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
| |
• | Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts and conditions and values highly questionable and improbable. |
| |
• | Loss - Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets on the books is not warranted. |
The following table sets forth the recorded investment in loans classified as special mention or substandard, by class, at the dates presented. Special mention and substandard loans are included in the formula analysis model if the loan is not individually evaluated for loss. Loans classified as doubtful or loss are individually evaluated for loss. At the dates presented, there were no loans classified as doubtful, and all loans classified as loss were fully charged-off.

The following table shows the weighted average credit score and weighted average LTV for originated and purchased one- to four-family loans and originated consumer home equity loans at the dates presented. Borrower credit scores are intended to provide an indication as to the likelihood that a borrower will repay their debts. Credit scores are updated at least semiannually, with the last update in September 2014, from a nationally recognized consumer rating agency. The LTV ratios provide an estimate of the extent to which the Bank may incur a loss on any given loan that may go into foreclosure. 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.

Allowance for Credit Losses - The following is a summary of ACL activity, by segment, for the periods presented, and the ending balance of ACL based on the Company's impairment methodology. Of the $1.2 million of net charge-offs during the year ended September 30, 2013, $381 thousand was due to loans that were primarily discharged in a prior fiscal year under Chapter 7 bankruptcy that had to be, pursuant to regulatory reporting requirements, evaluated for collateral value loss, even if they were current. In January 2012, management implemented a new loan charge-off policy in accordance with regulatory reporting requirements, which resulted in $3.5 million of specific valuation allowances being charged-off during fiscal year 2012.

6. DEPOSITS and BORROWED FUNDS
Deposits - The amount of noninterest-bearing deposits was $167.0 million and $150.2 million as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Certificates of deposit with a minimum denomination of $250 thousand were $402.1 million and $363.8 million as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Deposits in excess of $250 thousand may not be fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
FHLB Borrowings - FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2014 consisted of $2.57 billion in fixed-rate FHLB advances and $800.0 million against the variable-rate FHLB line of credit. The line of credit is set to expire on November 20, 2015, at which time it is expected to be renewed automatically by the FHLB for a one year period. FHLB borrowings at September 30, 2013 consisted of $2.51 billion in fixed-rate FHLB advances.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Bank implemented a leverage strategy ("daily leverage strategy") to increase earnings. The daily leverage strategy involves borrowing up to $2.10 billion against the Bank's FHLB line of credit and currently consists of two leverage tiers. The first tier of $800.0 million is intended to remain borrowed against the line of credit for an extended period of time. The second tier of $1.30 billion is borrowed in the first days of each quarter and paid off prior to each quarter end. The proceeds of the borrowings, net of the required FHLB stock holdings, is deposited at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.
FHLB advances at September 30, 2014 and 2013 were comprised of the following:
|
| | | | | | | |
| 2014 |
| | 2013 |
|

Weighted average effective interest rate on FHLB advances(1) | 2.39 |
| | 2.67 |
|
| |
(1) | The effective rate includes the net impact of the amortization of deferred prepayment penalties related to the prepayment of certain FHLB advances and deferred gains related to the termination of interest rate swaps. |
FHLB borrowings are secured by certain qualifying loans pursuant to a blanket collateral agreement with the FHLB and certain securities. Per the FHLB's lending guidelines, total FHLB borrowings cannot exceed 40% of total Bank assets without the pre-approval of the FHLB president. In July 2014, the president of the FHLB approved an increase in the Bank's borrowing limit to 55% of total assets for one year. At September 30, 2014, the ratio of the par value of the Bank's FHLB borrowings to the Bank's total assets, as reported to the OCC, was 34%. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Bank's FHLB borrowings to the Bank's total assets was in excess of 40% due to the daily leverage strategy.
Repurchase Agreements - At September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had repurchase agreements outstanding in the amounts of $220.0 million and $320.0 million, with weighted average contractual rates of 3.08% and 3.43%, respectively. All of the Company's repurchase agreements at September 30, 2014 and 2013 were fixed-rate.

The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence surrounding the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and applies its judgment in estimating the amount of valuation allowance necessary under the circumstances. At both September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had a valuation allowance of $1.8 million related to the net operating losses generated by the Company's consolidated Kansas corporate income tax return. The companies included in the consolidated Kansas corporate income tax return are the holding company and Capitol Funds, Inc., as the Bank files a Kansas privilege tax return. Based on the nature of the operations of the holding company and Capitol Funds, Inc., management believes there will not be sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deferred tax assets noted above; therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded for the related amounts at September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 740 Income Taxes prescribes a process by which a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, on an income tax return is determined based upon the technical merits of the position, along with whether the tax position meets a more-likely-than-not-recognition threshold, to determine the amount, if any, of unrecognized tax benefits to recognize in the financial statements. Estimated penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are included in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. For the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company's unrecognized tax benefits, estimated penalties and interest, and related activities were insignificant. The Company does not anticipate the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next 12 months.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the state of Kansas, as well as other states where it has either established nexus under an economic nexus theory or has exceeded enumerated nexus thresholds based on the amount of interest income derived from sources within the state. In many cases, uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing authorities. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2011.
In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service enacted final guidance regarding the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property ("tangible property regulations"). The tangible property regulations clarify and expand sections 162(a) and 263(a) of the Internal Revenue Code which relate to amounts paid to acquire produce, or improve tangible property. Additionally, the tangible property regulations provide final guidance under section 167 regarding accounting for and retirement of depreciable property and regulations under section 168 relating to the accounting for property under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System. The tangible property regulations affect all taxpayers that acquire, produce, or improve tangible property, which includes the Company, and generally apply to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, which will impact the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015 for the Company. The Company has evaluated the tangible property regulations and has determined the regulations will not have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
8. ESOP
The ESOP trust acquired 3,024,574 shares (6,846,728 shares post-corporate reorganization) of common stock in the Company's initial public offering and 4,726,000 shares of common stock in the Company's corporate reorganization in December of 2010. Both acquisitions of common stock were made with proceeds from loans from the Company. The loans are secured by shares of the Company's stock purchased in each offering. The Bank has agreed to make cash contributions to the ESOP trust on an annual basis sufficient to enable the ESOP trust to make the required annual loan payments to the Company on September 30 of each year. The loan for the shares acquired in the initial public offering matured on September 30, 2013. The loan for the shares acquired in the corporate reorganization matures on September 30, 2040.
As annual loan payments are made on September 30, shares are released from collateral and allocated to qualified employees based on the proportion of their qualifying compensation to total qualifying compensation. On September 30, 2014, 165,198 shares were released from collateral. On September 30, 2015, 165,198 shares will be released from collateral. As ESOP shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company records compensation expense. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are applied to the debt service payments of the loan secured by the unallocated shares. Dividends on unallocated ESOP shares in excess of the debt service payment are recorded as compensation expense and distributed to participants or participants' ESOP accounts. Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $3.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2014, $9.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2013, and $6.7 million for the year ended September 30, 2012. Of these amounts, $362 thousand, $3.7 million, and $3.4 million related to the difference between the market price of the Company's stock when the shares were acquired by the ESOP trust and the average market price of the Company's stock during the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The amount included in compensation expense for dividends on unallocated ESOP shares in excess of the debt service payments was $1.7 million, $3.0 million, and $325 thousand for the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, which was related to the loan for the shares acquired in the corporate reorganization.
Shares may be withdrawn from the ESOP trust due to retirement, termination, or death of the participant. Additionally, a participant may begin to diversify at least 25% of their ESOP shares at age 50. The following is a summary of shares held in the ESOP trust as of September 30, 2014 and 2013:

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has a Stock Option Plan, a Restricted Stock Plan, and an Equity Incentive Plan, all of which are considered share-based plans.
Stock Option Plans – The Company currently has two plans outstanding which provide for the granting of stock option awards, the 2000 Stock Option Plan and the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The objective of both plans is to provide additional incentive to certain officers, directors and key employees by facilitating their purchase of a stock interest in the Company. The total number of shares originally eligible to be granted as stock options under the 2000 Stock Option Plan was 8,558,411. At September 30, 2014, the 2000 Stock Option Plan still had 2,965,349 shares available for future grant; however the Company will not issue any additional stock option grants from this plan. The 2000 Stock Option Plan will expire in April 2015 and no additional grants may be made after expiration, but outstanding grants continue until they are individually vested, forfeited, or expire. All future grants will be awarded from the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which had 5,907,500 shares originally eligible to be granted as stock options. At September 30, 2014, the Company had 4,265,900 shares still available for future grants of stock options under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. This plan will expire in January 2027 and no additional grants may be made after expiration, but outstanding grants continue until they are individually vested, forfeited, or expire.
The Company may issue incentive and nonqualified stock options under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company may also award stock appreciation rights, although to date no stock appreciation rights have been awarded. The incentive stock options expire no later than 10 years and the nonqualified stock options expire no later than 15 years from the date of grant. The vesting period of the options under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan generally has ranged from three to five years. The option price cannot be less than the market value at the date of the grant as defined by each plan. The fair value of stock option grants is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
At September 30, 2014, the Company had 2,394,502 options outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $13.02 per option and a weighted average contractual life of 7.6 years, and 1,520,863 options exercisable with a weighted average exercise price of $13.63 per option and a weighted average contractual life of 6.9 years. The exercise price may be paid in cash, shares of common stock, or a combination of both. New shares are issued by the Company upon the exercise of stock options.
Compensation expense attributable to stock option awards during the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012 totaled $633 thousand, $792 thousand, and $369 thousand, respectively. The fair value of stock options vested during the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $646 thousand, $689 thousand, and $141 thousand, respectively. As of September 30, 2014, the total future compensation cost related to non-vested stock options not yet recognized in the consolidated statements of income was $976 thousand, net of estimated forfeitures, and the weighted average period over which these awards are expected to be recognized was 1.9 years.
Restricted Stock Plans – The Company currently has two plans outstanding which provide for the granting of restricted stock awards, the 2000 Recognition and Retention Plan and the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. The objective of both plans is to enable the Company to retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions of responsibility. The total number of shares originally eligible to be granted as restricted stock under the 2000 Recognition and Retention Plan was 3,423,364. At September 30, 2014, the 2000 Recognition and Retention Plan still had 358,767 shares available for future restricted stock grants; however, the Company will not award any additional grants from this plan. The 2000 Recognition and Retention Plan will expire in April 2015 and no additional grants may be made after expiration, but outstanding grants continue until they are individually vested or forfeited. All future grants of restricted stock will be awarded from the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, which had 2,363,000 shares originally eligible to be granted as restricted stock. At September 30, 2014, the Company had 1,823,850 shares available for future grants of restricted stock under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan. This plan will expire in January 2027 and no additional grants may be made after expiration, but outstanding grants continue until they are individually vested or forfeited. The vesting period of the restricted stock awards under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan generally has ranged from three to five years. At September 30, 2014, the Company had 280,625 unvested restricted stock shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $11.95 per share.
Compensation expense is calculated based on the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant, as defined by the plans, and is recognized over the vesting time period. Compensation expense attributable to restricted stock awards during the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012 totaled $1.5 million, $1.8 million, and $827 thousand, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the years ended September 30, 2014, 2013, and 2012 totaled $1.5 million, $1.5 million, and $212 thousand, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 there was $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments to originate loans are commitments to lend to a customer. Commitments to purchase/participate in loans primarily represent commitments to purchase loans from correspondent lenders on a loan-by-loan basis. The Bank evaluates each borrower's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of a rate lock fee. Some of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon; therefore, the amount of total commitments disclosed above does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no significant loan-related commitments that met the definition of derivatives or commitments to sell mortgage loans. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Bank had approved but unadvanced home equity lines of credit of $260.4 million and $262.7 million, respectively.
At September 30, 2014, the Bank had $10.4 million of agreements outstanding in connection with the remodeling of its Kansas City market area operations center.
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiary are named defendants in various lawsuits and counterclaims. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, none of the currently pending suits are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2014 or future periods.
11. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and, possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.
As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the most recent regulatory guidelines categorized the Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized," the Bank must maintain minimum capital ratios as set forth in the table below. Management believes, as of September 30, 2014, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject and there were no conditions or events subsequent to September 30, 2014 that would change the Bank's category. There are currently no regulatory capital requirements at the Company level.

Generally, savings institutions, such as the Bank, may make capital distributions during any calendar year equal to the earnings of the previous two calendar years and current year-to-date earnings. It is generally required that the Bank remain well capitalized before and after the proposed distribution. The Company's ability to pay dividends is dependent, in part, upon its ability to obtain capital distributions from the Bank. So long as the Bank continues to remain "well capitalized" after each capital distribution and operates in a safe and sound manner, it is management's belief that the regulators will continue to allow the Bank to distribute its net income to the Company, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
In conjunction with the Company's corporate reorganization in December 2010, a "liquidation account" was established for the benefit of certain depositors of the Bank in an amount equal to Capitol Federal Savings Bank MHC's ownership interest in the retained earnings of Capitol Federal Financial as of June 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2014, the balance of this liquidation account was $247.2 million. Under applicable federal banking regulations, neither the Company nor the Bank is permitted to pay dividends on its capital stock to its stockholders if stockholders' equity would be reduced below the amount of the liquidation account at that time.
12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value Measurements – The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures in accordance with ASC 820 and ASC 825. The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value at September 30, 2014 or 2013. The Company's AFS securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as OREO and loans individually evaluated for impairment. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
The Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
| |
• | Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. |
| |
• | Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. |
| |
• | Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company's own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. |
The Company bases its fair values on the price that would be received from the sale of an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
AFS Securities - The Company's AFS securities portfolio is carried at estimated fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as AOCI in stockholders' equity. The majority of the securities within the AFS portfolio were issued by GSEs. The Company primarily uses prices obtained from third party pricing services to determine the fair value of its securities. On a quarterly basis, management corroborates a sample of prices obtained from the third party pricing service for Level 2 securities by comparing them to an independent source. If the price provided by the independent source varies by more than a predetermined percentage from the price received from the third party pricing service, then the variance is researched by management. The Company did not have to adjust prices obtained from the third party pricing service when determining the fair value of its securities during the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company's major security types, based on the nature and risks of the securities, are:
| |
• | GSE Debentures - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration and are discounted using current market yields for similar securities. (Level 2) |
| |
• | MBS - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined based on prepayment projections of the underlying mortgages and are discounted using current market yields for benchmark securities. (Level 2) |
| |
• | Municipal Bonds - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking any embedded options into consideration and are discounted using current market yields for securities with similar credit profiles. (Level 2) |
| |
• | Trust Preferred Securities - Estimated fair values are based on a discounted cash flow method. Cash flows are determined by taking prepayment and underlying credit considerations into account. The discount rates are derived from secondary trades and bid/offer prices. (Level 3) |
The following tables provide the level of valuation assumption used to determine the carrying value of the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at the dates presented.

(1) | The Company's Level 3 AFS securities had no activity during the year ended September 30, 2014, except for principal repayments of $150 thousand and increases in net unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Increases in net unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income for the year ended September 30, 2014 were $16 thousand. |
| |
(2) | The Company's Level 3 AFS securities had no activity during the year ended September 30, 2013, except for principal repayments of $424 thousand and reductions in net unrealized losses recognized in other comprehensive income. Reductions in net unrealized losses included in other comprehensive income for the year ended September 30, 2013 were $276 thousand. |
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for significant assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
Loans Receivable – The balance of loans individually evaluated for impairment at September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $26.8 million and $27.3 million, respectively. Substantially all of these loans were secured by residential real estate and were individually evaluated to ensure that the carrying value of the loan was not in excess of the fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs. When no impairment is indicated, the carrying amount is considered to approximate fair value. Fair values were estimated through current appraisals or analyzed based on market indicators. Fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions and, as such, are classified as Level 3. Based on this evaluation, the Bank charged-off any loss amounts as of September 30, 2014 and 2013; therefore, there was no ACL related to these loans.
OREO – OREO primarily represents real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure and is carried at lower-of-cost or fair value. Fair value is estimated through current appraisals or listing prices, less estimated selling costs. As these properties are actively marketed, estimated fair values may be adjusted by management to reflect current economic and market conditions and, as such, are classified as Level 3. The fair value of OREO at September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $4.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
The following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of the Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at the dates presented.

Fair Value Disclosures – The Company determined estimated fair value amounts using available market information and from a variety of valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts. The fair value estimates presented herein were based on pertinent information available to management as of the dates presented.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents are considered to approximate their fair value due to the nature of the financial assets. (Level 1)
HTM Securities - Estimated fair values of securities are based on one of three methods: (1) quoted market prices where available; (2) quoted market prices for similar instruments if quoted market prices are not available; (3) unobservable data that represents the Bank's assumptions about items that market participants would consider in determining fair value where no market data is available. HTM securities are carried at amortized cost. (Level 2)
Loans Receivable - The fair value of one- to four-family mortgages and home equity loans are generally estimated using the present value of expected future cash flows, assuming future prepayments and using discount factors determined by prices obtained from securitization markets, less a discount for the cost of servicing and lack of liquidity. The estimated fair value of the Bank's multi-family, commercial, and consumer loans are based on the expected future cash flows assuming future prepayments and discount factors based on current offering rates. (Level 3)
FHLB stock - The carrying value and estimated fair value of FHLB stock equals cost, which is based on redemption at par value. (Level 1)
Deposits - The estimated fair value of demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The estimated fair value of these deposits at September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2.12 billion and $2.07 billion, respectively. (Level 1) The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR"). The estimated fair value of certificates of deposit at September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $2.55 billion and $2.58 billion, respectively. (Level 2)
FHLB borrowings and Repurchase Agreements - The fair value of fixed-maturity borrowed funds is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows using current offer rates.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Act") as of September 30, 2014. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2014, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the "Act"). The Company's internal control system is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect transactions and dispositions of assets; provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors of the Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or untimely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of any system of internal control may vary over time. The design of any internal control system also factors in resource constraints and consideration for the benefit of the control relative to the cost of implementing the control. Because of these inherent limitations in any system of internal control, management cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud within the Company have been detected.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992). Management has concluded that the Company maintained an effective system of internal control over financial reporting based on these criteria as of September 30, 2014.
The Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, who audited the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report, has issued an audit report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2014 and it is included in Item 8.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the Company's quarter ended September 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
