SOUND FINANCIAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) 
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial information is unaudited and has been prepared from the consolidated financial statements of Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sound Community Bank and Sound Community Insurance Agency, Inc.  References in this document to Sound Financial Bancorp refer to Sound Financial Bancorp, Inc. and references to the “Bank” refer to Sound Community Bank. References to “we,” “us,” and “our” or the “Company” refers to Sound Financial Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sound Community Bank and Sound Community Insurance Agency, Inc., unless the context otherwise requires.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included.  Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2020 (“2019 Form 10-K”).  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Certain amounts in the prior period’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  These classifications do not have an impact on previously reported consolidated net income, retained earnings, stockholders’ equity or earnings per share.

Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), which provides relief from certain accounting and financial reporting requirements under U.S. GAAP. Section 4013 of the CARES Act provides temporary relief from the accounting and reporting requirements for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) under ASC 310-40 for loan modifications related to the novel coronavirus of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In addition, on April 7, 2020, a group of banking agencies issued an interagency statement (Interagency Statement) for evaluating whether loan modifications that occur in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are troubled debt restructured loans (TDRs). The interagency statement was originally issued on March 22, 2020, but the Agencies revised it to address the relationship between their TDR accounting and disclosure guidance and the TDR guidance in Section 4013 of the CARES Act. Section 4013 of the CARES Act permits the suspension of ASC 310-40 for loan modifications that are made by financial institutions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic if (1) the borrower was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019; (2) the modifications are related to arrangements that defer or delay the payment of principal or interest, or change the interest rate on the loan; and (3) the modifications are executed between March 1, 2020, and the earlier of (A) 60 days after the date of termination of the national emergency declared by the President or (B) December 31, 2020. The interagency statement indicates that a lender can conclude that a borrower is not experiencing financial difficulty if either (1) short-term (e.g., six months) modifications are made in response to COVID-19, such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant related to loans in which the borrower is less than 30 days past due on its contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented, or (2) the modification or deferral program is mandated by the federal government or a state government. Accordingly, any loan modification made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that meets either of these practical expedients would not be considered a TDR. The Company adopted this guidance as discussed in the subsequent events footnote.

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU applies to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or other rate references expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The ASU permits an entity to make necessary modifications to eligible contracts or transactions without requiring contract remeasurement or reassessment of a previous accounting determination. This ASU is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.


9



In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing the exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, removing the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, and removing the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This ASU modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Disclosure requirements removed from FASB Subtopic 715-20 include the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year, the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, related party disclosures about the amount of future annual benefits covered by insurance and annuity contracts and significant transactions between the employer or related parties and the plan, and, for public entities, the effects of a one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates on the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit costs and benefit obligation for postretirement health care benefits. Disclosure requirements added to FASB Subtopic 715-20 include the weighted-average interest crediting rates for cash balance plans and other plans with promised interest crediting rates, and an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-14 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement: Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing the amount of, and reasons for, transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This ASU clarifies that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date. The ASU adds disclosure requirements for Level 3 measurements, including changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for the recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.  Amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU amends the accounting for share-based payments awards to nonemployees to align with the accounting for employee awards. Under the new guidance, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. Amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815 to improve the transparency and understandability of information conveyed to financial statement users about an entity's risk management activities by better aligning the entity's financial reporting for hedging relationships with those risk management activities and reduce the complexity of and simplify the application of hedge accounting by preparers. The amendments in this ASU permit hedge accounting for hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risk by removing certain limitations in cash flow and fair value hedging relationships. In addition, the ASU requires an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported.

beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 on January 1, 2019, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). ASU 2017-08 is intended to amend the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. Under ASU 2017-08, the FASB is shortening the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. Under current GAAP, entities generally amortize the premium as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the instrument. ASU 2017-08 is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, or ASU 2017-04, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 also eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Adoption of ASU 2017-04 is required for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU replaces the existing incurred loss impairment methodology that recognizes credit losses when a probable loss has been incurred with new methodology where loss estimates are based upon lifetime expected credit losses. The amendments in this ASU require a financial asset that is measured at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement would then reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as changes to the expected credit losses that have taken place during the reporting period. The change in allowance recognized as a result of adoption will occur through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the ASU is adopted. The FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments- Credit Losses (Topic 326), delaying implementation of ASU 2016-13 for SEC smaller reporting company filers until fiscal year beginning after 2022. The Bank meets the requirements of a smaller reporting company and delayed implementation of ASU 2016-13.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize, on the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities arising from operating leases. A lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A lessee should include payments to be made in an optional period only if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. For a finance lease, interest payments should be recognized separately from amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income. For operating leases, the lease cost should be allocated over the lease term on a generally straight-line basis. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements. This ASU amended the new leases standard to give entities another option for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient. The transition option allows entities to not apply the new leases standard in the comparative periods they present in their financial statements in the year of adoption. The practical expedient provides lessors with an option to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease components when certain criteria are met and requires them to account for the combined component in accordance with the new revenue standard if the associated non-lease components are the predominant components. The Company adopted these ASUs on January 1, 2019. In March 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), Codification Improvements. The amendments in this ASU include determining the fair value of the underlying asset by lessors that are not manufacturers or dealers, requiring cash received from lessors from sales-type and direct financing leases to be presented in the cash flow statement within investing activities, and clarifying interim disclosure requirements. The effective date and transition requirements for the first and second items of this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early

11



adoption is permitted. We have adopted the third item of this ASU and provided the required interim disclosures in this report.  See Note 12- Leases for further information.

There were no credit losses recognized in earnings during the three and three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019 relating to the Company’s securities.

At March 31, 2020, the securities portfolio consisted of 14 agency mortgage-backed securities and nine municipal securities with a total portfolio fair value of $11.2 million. At December 31, 2019, the securities portfolio consisted of 13 agency mortgage-backed securities and eight municipal securities with a fair value of $9.3 million. At March 31, 2020, there were ten securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, and no securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. At December 31, 2019, there were five securities in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months, and there were no securities in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. The unrealized losses were caused by changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities, and not related to the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. It is expected that these securities will not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of each investment. The unrealized losses on these investments are not considered other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") as of March 31, 2020, because the decline in fair value is not attributable to credit quality and because we do not intend, and it is not likely that we will be required, to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Additional deterioration in market and economic conditions related to COVID-19 pandemic may, however, have an adverse impact on credit quality in the future and result in OTTI charges.

Credit Quality Indicators.   Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans as substandard, doubtful or loss.  An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in assets classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation of the assets in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.  Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.
When we classify problem loans as either substandard or doubtful, we may establish a specific allowance in an amount we deem prudent to address the risk specifically (if the loan is impaired) or we may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance (if the loan is not impaired).  General allowances represent loss reserves which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem loans. When the Company classifies problem loans as a loss, we charge-off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss, but possess identified weaknesses, are classified as either watch or special mention assets.  Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the Bank’s federal regulator, and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions (“WDFI”), the Bank’s state banking regulator, both of whom can order the establishment of additional loss allowances.  Pass rated loans are loans that are not otherwise classified or criticized.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans.  Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  Loans are automatically placed on nonaccrual once the loan is 90 days past due or sooner if, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment of obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions.

Impaired Loans.  A loan is considered impaired when we determine that we may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the terms of the loan.  In the process of identifying loans as impaired, we take into consideration factors which include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future. Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired. The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered on a case by case basis, after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including payment history.  Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans in the portfolio. All TDRs are also classified as impaired loans and are included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses.
Impaired loans at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, by type of loan were as follows (in thousands):

Forgone interest on nonaccrual loans was $62,000 and $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual or impaired at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Troubled debt restructurings.  TDRs are accounted for under ASC 310-40, are loans which have renegotiated loan terms to assist borrowers who are unable to meet the original terms of their loans. Such modifications to loan terms may include a lower interest rate, a reduction in principal, or a longer term to maturity. Once a TDR has performed according to its modified terms for six months and the collection of principal and interest under the revised terms is deemed probable, we remove the TDR from nonperforming status. Loans classified as TDRs totaled $5.3 million and $7.9 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are included in impaired loans.  The Company has granted, in its TDRs, a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications.  The modifications granted can generally be described in the following categories:
Rate Modification:  A modification in which the interest rate is changed.
Term Modification:  A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments or frequency of payments is changed.
Payment Modification:  A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed.  Interest only modifications in which a loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time are included in this category.
Combination Modification:  Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.
There were two loans totaling $218,000 modified as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2020. There was one TDR loan totaling $2.8 million paid-off during the three months ended March 31, 2020. There were no loans modified as TDRs and one TDR loan of $105,000 paid-off during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
There were no post-modification changes for the unpaid principal balance in loans, net of partial charge-offs, that were recorded as a result of the TDRs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. There was no loan modified as a TDR for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of modification during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were three loans totaling $416,000 modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of modification.
The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers owing receivables whose terms have been modified into TDRs. 

The CARES Act provided guidance around the modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which outlined, among other criteria, that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers are

20



considered current under the CARES Act if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. At March 31, 2020, 17 loans totaling $6.7 million, substantially all of which were one- to four-family loans, were modified with payment deferrals due to COVID 19.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the requirements established in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements, which provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 820 defines fair values for financial instruments as the exit price, the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions.  The Company’s fair values for financial instruments at March 31, 2020 were determined based on these requirements.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents - The estimated fair value is equal to the carrying amount.
Available-for-Sale Securities – Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, if available.  If quoted market prices are not available, management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers in the specific instruments.  Level 2 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government securities.  
Loans Held-for-Sale - Residential mortgage loans held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate residential loans is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, loans held-for-sale were carried at cost, as no impairment was required.
Loans Held-for-Portfolio - The estimated fair value of loans-held-for portfolio consists of a credit adjustment to reflect the estimated adjustment to the carrying value of the loans due to credit-related factors and a yield adjustment, to reflect the estimated adjustment to the carrying value of the loans due to a differential in yield between the portfolio loan yields and estimated current market rate yields on loans with similar characteristics. The estimated fair values of loans held for portfolio reflect exit price assumptions. The liquidity premium/discounts are part of the valuation for exit pricing.
Mortgage Servicing Rights –The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is determined through a discounted cash flow analysis, which uses interest rates, prepayment speeds, discount rates, and delinquency rate assumptions as inputs.
FHLB stock - The estimated fair value is equal to the par value of the stock.
Non-maturity deposits - The estimated fair value is equal to the carrying amount.
Time deposits - The estimated fair value of time deposits is based on the difference between interest costs paid on the Company’s time deposits and current market rates for time deposits with comparable characteristics.
Borrowings - The fair value of borrowings are estimated using the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for impaired loans and OREO is as follows:
Impaired Loans - The fair value of collateral dependent loans is based on the current appraised value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell, or internally developed models utilizing a calculation of expected discounted cash flows which contain management’s assumptions.
OREO and Repossessed Assets – The fair value of OREO and repossessed assets is based on the current appraised value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell. 
Off-balance sheet financial instruments - The fair value for the Company’s off-balance sheet loan commitments are estimated based on fees charged to others to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and credit standing of the Company’s clients. The estimated fair value of these commitments is not significant.

Generally, any significant increases in the constant prepayment rate and discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the mortgage servicing rights will result in a negative fair value adjustment (and decrease in the fair value measurement).  Conversely, a decrease in the constant prepayment rate and discount rate will result in a positive fair value adjustment (and increase in the fair value measurement).  An increase in the weighted average life assumptions will result in a decrease in the constant prepayment rate and conversely, a decrease in the weighted-average life will result in an increase of the constant prepayment rate.
There were no assets or liabilities (excluding mortgage servicing rights) measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019
 
Mortgage servicing rights are measured at fair value using a significant unobservable input (Level 3) on a recurring basis - additional information is included in Note 6 – Mortgage Servicing Rights.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements.  These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks.  These transactions are used primarily to manage clients’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.
Note 8 – Borrowings and FHLB Stock
The Company utilizes a loan agreement with the FHLB of Des Moines. The terms of the agreement call for a blanket pledge of a portion of the Company’s mortgage and commercial and multifamily loan portfolio based on the outstanding balance.  At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount available to borrow under this credit facility was $323.9 million and $321.9 million, respectively, subject to eligible pledged collateral. At March 31, 2020, the credit facility was collateralized as follows:  one-to-four family mortgage loans with an advance equivalent of $117.0 million, commercial and multifamily mortgage loans with an advance equivalent of $118.5 million and home equity loans with an advance equivalent of $8.0 million. At December 31, 2019, the credit facility was collateralized as follows:  one-to-four family mortgage loans with an advance equivalent of $111.4 million, commercial and multifamily mortgage loans with an advance equivalent of $126.1 million and home equity loans with an advance equivalent of $6.9 million.  The Company had outstanding borrowings under this arrangement of $7.5 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The weighted-average interest rate of our borrowings was 3.05% at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  Additionally, the Company had outstanding letters of credit from the FHLB of Des Moines with a notional amount of $19.6 million and $19.1 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, to secure public deposits. The remaining amount available to borrow as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, was $216.3 million and $217.8 million, respectively.
As a member of the FHLB, the Company is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in FHLB of Des Moines stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding FHLB advances.  At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 both, the Company had an investment of $1.2 million in FHLB of Des Moines stock.
The Company participates in the Federal Reserve Bank Borrower-in-Custody program, which gives the Company access to the discount window.  The terms of the program call for a pledge of specific assets.  The Company pledges commercial and consumer loans as collateral for this line of credit.  The Company had unused borrowing capacity of $38.2 million and $41.7 million and no outstanding borrowings under this program at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Company has access to an unsecured Fed Funds line of credit from Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank.  The line has a 1 year term maturing on June 30, 2020 and is renewable annually.  As of March 31, 2020, the amount available under this line of credit was $10.0 million.  There was no balance on this line of credit as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company has access to an unsecured Fed Funds line of credit from The Independent Bank.  As of March 31, 2020, the amount available under this line of credit was $10.0 million. The agreement may be terminated by either party.  There was no balance on this line of credit as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
 

Note 9 – Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, reduced for average unallocated ESOP shares and average unvested restricted stock awards. Unvested share-based awards containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted earnings per common share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock (such as stock awards and options) were exercised or converted to common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the Company’s earnings. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period increased for the dilutive effect of unexercised stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. The dilutive effect of the unexercised stock options and unvested restricted stock awards is calculated under the treasury stock method utilizing the average market value of the Company's stock for the period.

Note 10 – Stock-based Compensation
Stock Options and Restricted Stock
The Company currently has one active shareholder approved Equity Incentive Plan, the Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"). The 2013 Plan permits the grant of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. The equity incentive plan approved by stockholders in 2008 (the"2008 Plan") expired in November 2018 and no further awards may be made under the 2008 Plan; provided, however, all awards outstanding under the 2008 Plan remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Under the 2013 Plan, 181,750 shares of common stock were approved for awards for stock options and stock appreciation rights and 116,700 shares of common stock were approved for awards for restricted stock and restricted stock units.
As of March 31, 2020, on an adjusted basis, awards for stock options totaling 269,822 shares and awards for restricted stock totaling 135,658 shares of Company common stock have been granted, net of any forfeitures, to participants in the Plans. Share-based compensation expense was $185,000 and $39,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Stock Option Awards
All stock option awards granted under the 2008 Plan vest in 20 percent annual increments commencing one year from the grant date in accordance with the requirements of the 2008 Plan. The stock option awards granted to date under the 2013 Plan provide
for immediate vesting of a portion of the award with the balance of the award vesting on the anniversary date of each grant date
in equal annual installments over periods of one-to-four years subject to the continued service of the participant with the
Company. All of the options granted under the 2008 Plan and the 2013 Plan are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to vesting. The following is a summary of the Company’s stock option award activity during the three months ended March 31, 2020:

Restricted Stock Awards
The fair value of the restricted stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company's stock at the date of grant. Compensation
expense is recognized over the vesting period that the awards are based. The restricted stock awards granted under the 2008
Plan vest in 20% annual increments commencing one year from the grant date. The restricted stock awards granted to date under the 2013 Plan provide for immediate vesting of a portion of the award with the balance of the award vesting on the anniversary date of each of the grant date in equal annual installments over periods of one-to-four years subject to the continued service of the participant with the Company.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan
In January 2008, the ESOP borrowed $1.2 million from the Company to purchase common stock of the Company which was paid in full in 2017.  In August 2012, in conjunction with the Company’s conversion to a full stock company from the mutual holding company structure, the ESOP borrowed an additional $1.1 million from the Company to purchase common stock of the Company.  The loan is being repaid principally by the Bank through contributions to the ESOP over a period of ten years. The interest rate on the loan is fixed at 2.25% per annum. As of March 31, 2020, the remaining balance of the ESOP loan was $126,000.
Neither the loan balance nor the related interest expense is reflected on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
For the calendar year 2020, the ESOP was committed to release 11,340 shares of the Company’s common stock to participants and held 11,340 unallocated shares remaining to be released in 2021. The fair value of the 165,056 restricted shares held by the ESOP trust was $3.5 million at March 31, 2020.

Account maintenance fees and transaction-based and overdraft service charges

The Company earns fees from its customers for account maintenance, transaction-based and overdraft services. Account maintenance fees consist primarily of account fees and analyzed account fees charged on deposit accounts on a monthly basis. The performance obligation is satisfied and fees are recognized on a monthly basis as the service period is completed. Transaction-based fees and overdraft service fees on deposit accounts are charged to deposit customers for specific services provided to the customer, such as non-sufficient funds, overdraft, and wire services. The performance obligation is completed as the transaction occurs and the fees are recognized at the time each specific service is provided to the customer.

Debit/ATM and credit card interchange income

Debit/ATM interchange income represent fees earned when a debit card issued by the Bank is used for a transaction. The Bank earns interchange fees from debit cardholder transactions through the MasterCard payment network. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholders' account. Certain expenses directly associated with the debit card are recorded on a net basis with the interchange income.

The Company utilizes a third-party agency relationship to brand credit cards with fees for originating new accounts paid by the issuing bank. Credit card interchange income represents fees earned when a credit card is issued by the third party agent. Similar to debit card interchange fees, the Bank earns an interchange fee for each transaction made with Sound Community Bank's branded credit cards. The performance obligation is satisfied and the fees are earned when the cost of the transaction is charged to the cardholders' credit card. Certain expenses and rebates directly related to the credit card interchange contract are recorded net of the interchange income.

Net loss on OREO and repossessed assets
We record a gain or loss from the sale of other real estate owned when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed of trust. When the Bank finances the sale of other real estate owned to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the other real estate owned asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on sale, we adjust the transaction price and related gain or loss on sale if a significant financing component is present. The Company incurred expenses on OREO properties of zero and $3,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which are included in Noninterest Expense on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 12 – Leases
We have operating leases for branch locations, loan production offices, our corporate office and certain equipment. The lease term for our leases begins on the date we become legally obligated for the rent payments or we take possession of the building, whichever is earlier. Generally, our real estate leases have initial terms of three to 10 years and typically include one renewal option. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 10 years. The operating leases generally contain renewal options and require us to pay property taxes and operating expenses for the properties.

Certain matters discussed in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or business. Forward-looking statements are not statements of historical fact, are based on certain assumptions and are generally identified by use of the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “potentially,” “probably,” “projects,” “outlook” or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.” Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, assumptions and statements about, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which we operate, projections of future performance or financial items, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding our mission and vision. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties.

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
changes in economic conditions, either nationally or in our market area;
monetary and fiscal policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") and the U.S. Government and other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry;

results of examinations of Sound Financial Bancorp and Sound Community Bank by their regulators, including the possibility that the regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or to write-down assets, change Sound Community Bank's regulatory capital position or affect our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, which could adversely affect our liquidity and earnings;
our ability to attract and retain deposits;
the risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses;
inability of key third-party providers to perform their obligations to us;
competitive pressures among financial services companies;
our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, clients, systems, and management personnel we may acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and expected cost savings and other benefits within the anticipated time frames or at all;
the use of estimates in determining fair value of certain of our assets, which estimates may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuation;
our ability to keep pace with technological changes, including our ability to identify and address cyber-security risks such as data security breaches, "denial of service" attacks, "hacking" and identity theft, and other attacks on our information technology systems or on the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions;
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board, including additional guidance and interpretation on accounting issues and details of the implementation of new accounting methods;
legislative or regulatory changes such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and its implementing regulations that adversely affect our business, and the availability of resources to address such changes;
our ability to retain or attract key employees or members of our senior management team;
costs and effects of litigation, including settlements and judgments;
our ability to implement our business strategies;
staffing fluctuations in response to product demand or the implementation of corporate strategies that affect our workforce and potential associated charges;

other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act of 2020 ("CARES Act"); and
the other risks described from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including this Form 10-Q and our 2019 Form 10-K.
We wish to advise readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and that the factors listed above could materially affect our financial performance and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from any such forward-looking statements expressed with respect to future periods and could negatively affect our stock price performance.
We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Our principal business consists of attracting retail and commercial deposits from the general public and investing those funds, along with borrowed funds, in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four- family residences (including home equity loans and lines of credit), commercial and multifamily real estate, construction and land, consumer and commercial business loans. Our commercial business loans include unsecured lines of credit and secured term loans and lines of credit secured by inventory, equipment and accounts receivable. We also offer a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loan products, including manufactured home loans, floating home loans, automobile loans, boat loans and recreational vehicle loans. As part of our business, we focus on residential mortgage loan originations, a portion of which we sell to Fannie Mae and other correspondents and the remainder of which we retain for our loan portfolio consistent with our asset/liability objectives. We sell loans which conform to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae (“conforming”) in which we retain the servicing of the loan in order to maintain the direct customer relationship and to generate noninterest income. Residential loans which do not conform to the underwriting standards of Fannie Mae (“non-conforming”), are either held in our loan portfolio or sold with servicing retained. We originate and retain a significant amount of commercial real estate loans, including those secured by owner-occupied and nonowner-occupied commercial real estate, multifamily property, mobile home parks and construction and land development loans.
Critical Accounting Policies
Certain of our accounting policies require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances.  Facts and circumstances that could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.  Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, accounting for other-than-temporary impairment of securities, accounting for mortgage servicing rights, accounting for other real estate owned and accounting for deferred income taxes.  Our methodologies for analyzing the allowance for loan losses, other-than-temporary impairment, mortgage servicing rights, other real estate owned and deferred tax asset accounts are described in our 2019 Form 10-K.  
COVID 19 Response
In response to the current global situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is offering a variety of relief options designed to support our clients and communities, including participating in the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Participation. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program. The goal of the PPP is to avoid as many layoffs as possible, and to encourage small businesses to maintain payrolls. As a qualified SBA lender, the Company was automatically authorized to originate PPP loans upon commencement of the program in April 2020. PPP loans have: (a) an interest rate of 1.0%, (b) a two-year loan term to maturity; and (c) principal and interest payments deferred for six months from the date of disbursement. The SBA guarantees 100% of the PPP loans made to eligible borrowers. The entire principal amount of the borrower’s PPP loan, including any accrued interest, is eligible to be forgiven and repaid by the SBA so long as employee and compensation levels of the business are maintained and 75% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll expenses, with the remaining 25% of the loan proceeds used for other qualifying expenses.

As of April 30, 2020, we have funded over $48.5 million in PPP loans, with an average loan amount of $164,000. Another $19.4 million in PPP loans are approved and awaiting funding and 201 applications totaling $6.4 million have been submitted but not yet approved as of April 30, 2020. Many of the PPP applications have been from our existing clients but we are also serving those in our communities who have not had a banking relationship with us in the past. In addition to the 1% interest earned on these loans, the SBA pays us fees for processing PPP loans in the following amounts: (i) 5% for loans of not more than $350,000; (ii) 3% for loans of more than $350,000 and less than $2,000,000; and 1% for loans of at least $2,000,000. We may not collect any fees from the loan applicants. The following table summarizes our PPP participation as of April 30, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

PPP loans to our existing clients are in addition to $21.8 million in loans these borrowers had outstanding with the Company at March 31, 2020. The SBA processing fees for the approved loans total $1.6 million.

We intend to utilize the Federal Reserve’s Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”), pursuant to which the Company will pledge its PPP loans as collateral at face value to obtain non-recourse loans.

Loan Modifications. We received and continue to receive numerous inquiries and requests from borrowers for some form of payment relief. We are providing payment relief for both consumer and business clients. As of April 30, 2020, we received requests to modify 99 loans aggregating $48.0 million, or 7.7% of total loans. As of that date, we had modified loans, predominantly payment deferrals for 90-180 days, aggregating $42.8 million, or 6.8% of total loans, as more fully described in the table below. All loans modified due to COVID-19 will be separately monitored and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification will be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate. We believe the steps we are taking are necessary to effectively manage our portfolio and assist our clients through the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the duration, impact and government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The modifications discussed above were not classified as TDRs in accordance with the guidance of the CARES Act. The CARES Act provided that the short-term modification of loans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, made on a good faith basis to borrowers who were current as defined under the CARES Act prior to any relief, are not TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g. six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are

34



insignificant. Borrowers are considered current under the CARES Act if they are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented.

Support for Clients, Employees and Community during Pandemic. In order to provide essential services and support our communities while safely conducting business during our state’s Stay Home, Stay Safe order we took a variety of steps. The vast majority of back office personnel were deployed to work from home with only a skeleton staff in the administrative offices which ensures social distancing. The administrative building was closed to the general public. Branch lobby hours were reduced in all markets along with additions of signage and directional markings to ensure clients made every effort to maintain distance and limit contact. We also strictly manage occupancy in branch lobbies requiring any overflow to remain outside. At the same time drive-up hours and services were expanded in select markets and Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) hours were extended so clients could achieve contactless transactions. Our website is regularly updated with best practices and tips for clients to use electronic banking. The Company leave policies were amended to allow employees that needed time for quarantine to be paid and we implemented the Family First Response Act provisions, further enhancing leave flexibility. We created a unique email and telephone hotline for loan assistance, and we continued to make new loans in all product lines. Front line employees received a bonus payment for maintaining our lobby operations. Certain fees are being waived for clients and no early withdrawal penalty is assessed on certificate withdrawals of up to $25,000 if needed for living or other expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our employees continued to volunteer in their communities by sewing cloth masks and fundraising for foodbanks, which fundraising was matched by the Company.

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019
General.   Total assets increased $17.8 million, or 2.5%, to $737.6 million at March 31, 2020 from $719.9 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to a higher balances of loans held-for-portfolio and held-for-sale, cash and cash equivalents, and available-for-sale securities.
Cash and Securities.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.2 million, or 11.2%, to $62.0 million at March 31, 2020 from $55.8 million at December 31, 2019. Available-for-sale securities, which consist of municipal bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities increased $1.9 million, or 20.7%, to $11.2 million at March 31, 2020 from $9.3 million at December 31, 2019 as a result of investment securities purchased during the current quarter.
Loans.  Our loans held-for-portfolio, net, increased $5.2 million, or 0.9%, to $619.5 million at March 31, 2020 from $614.2 million at December 31, 2019.

As illustrated in the table above, the increase in our loan portfolio at March 31, 2020, compared to December 31, 2019, was primarily a result of the $18.8 million, or 7.2% increase in commercial and multifamily real estate loans and $3.0 million, or 6.9%,

35



increase in floating homes loans, partially offset by decreases in one-to-four family loans of $8.9 million, or 5.9%, home equity loans of $2.9 million, or 12.0%, construction and land loans of $3.7 million, or 4.9%, and commercial business loans of $2.4 million, or 6.1%.  At March 31, 2020, our loan portfolio, net of deferred loan fees, remained well-diversified. Commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for approximately 44.6% of total loans and one-to-four family loans, including home equity loans accounted for approximately 25.7% of total loans and consumer loans, consisting of manufactured homes, floating homes, and other consumer loans accounted for approximately 12.3% of total loans at March 31, 2020. Construction and land loans accounted for approximately 11.5% of total loans and commercial business loans accounted for approximately 5.8% of total loans at March 31, 2020.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover losses that are probable and can be estimated on the date of evaluation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  It is our best estimate of probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio.  The following table reflects the adjustments in our allowance during the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Our allowance for loan losses increased $253,000, or 4.5%, to $5.9 million at March 31, 2020, from $5.6 million at December 31, 2019. The overall increase in the allowance for loan losses is related to uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and increases in the loan portfolio. The entire economy has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the hospitality industry being extremely hard hit. Our direct exposure to the hospitality industry, which includes food and beverage, lodging and recreation, was comprised of 16 loans to unrelated borrowers totaling $7.6 million and indirect exposure was $12.0 million at March 31, 2020. Most loans are secured by underlying collateral and were originated with loan-to-values ratios of 78% or less, except for one unsecured loan totaling $10,000. Seven of these borrowers with loans totaling $4.8 million received PPP loans from the Bank totaling $793,000, which are 100% federally guaranteed. Added pressures on asset quality in future quarters may require additional increases to the allowance for loan losses. The amount of allowance for loan losses will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public health and the economy.
Specific loan loss reserves increased to $786,000 at March 31, 2020, compared to $724,000 at December 31, 2019, while general loan loss reserves increased to $4.2 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $4.0 million at December 31, 2019 and the unallocated reserve decreased to $865,000 at March 31, 2020, compared to $948,000 at December 31, 2019.  The increase in the general reserve was a result of the higher balance on loans held-for-portfolio. Net charge-offs for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $3,000, respectively. At March 31, 2020, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans and nonperforming loans was 0.93% and 138.53%, respectively, compared to 0.91% and 121.11%, respectively, at December 31, 2019.
Mortgage Servicing Rights.  The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $3.0 million at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $243,000 or 7.5% from $3.2 million at December 31, 2019. We record mortgage servicing rights on loans sold with servicing retained and upon acquisition of a servicing portfolio. We stratify our capitalized mortgage servicing rights based upon the type, term and interest rates of the underlying loans. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value. If the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights fluctuates significantly, our financial results could be materially impacted.

36



Nonperforming Assets.  At March 31, 2020, our nonperforming assets totaled $4.8 million, or 0.65% of total assets, compared to $5.2 million, or 0.73% of total assets at December 31, 2019.

Nonaccrual loans decreased $403,000, or 8.7%, to $4.2 million at March 31, 2020 from $4.7 million at December 31, 2019. Nonaccrual loans were 0.67% of total loans at March 31, 2020, compared to 0.75% of total loans at December 31, 2019.
OREO and repossessed assets were $575,000 at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020, OREO and repossessed assets consisted solely of a former bank branch property located in Port Angeles, Washington which was acquired in 2015 as a part of three branches purchased from another financial institution. It is currently leased to a not-for-profit organization headquartered in our market area at a below market rate.
Deposits.  Total deposits increased $17.8 million, or 2.9%, to $634.6 million at March 31, 2020 from $616.7 million at December 31, 2019. The increase was due primarily to increases in all deposit products other than certificates of deposit, as a result of our effort to grow retail non-maturity deposits (i.e, non-certificates of deposit). The certificates of deposit decreased $7.2 million, or 2.9%, to $244.2 million at March 31, 2020 from $251.4 million at December 31, 2019. We continue our efforts to increase noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased $12.8 million, or 13.2%, to $110.1 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $97.3 million at December 31, 2019.

Borrowings.  FHLB advances remained unchanged at $7.5 million at March 31, 2020 from December 31, 2019.
Stockholders’ Equity.   Total stockholders’ equity increased $521,000, or 0.67%, to $78.2 million at March 31, 2020 from $77.7 million at December 31, 2019. This increase primarily reflects $981,000 in net income and stock-based compensation
of $185,000, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends of $903,000 to common stockholders during the current quarter.

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
General.  Net income decreased $463,000, or 32.1%, to $1.0 million or $0.38 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The primary reasons for the decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020, were decreases in net interest income of $261,000 and noninterest income of $299,000 combined with a $450,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $134,000 increase in interest expense as compared to the first quarter of 2019.These increases were partially offset

37



by a decrease in noninterest expense of $449,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.
Interest Income.  Interest income decreased $127,000, or 1.4%, to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Interest income on loans increased $49,000, or 0.6%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, due to higher average loan balances. The average balance of loans held-for-portfolio was $621.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $612.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The weighted average yield on loans held-for-portfolio was 5.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 5.54% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Interest income on the investment portfolio decreased $176,000, or 42.5%, to $238,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $414,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019, due to lower average yields compared to the same period a year ago.

Our weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets was 5.08% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to
5.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The weighted-average yield on investments including interest-bearing cash
was 1.58% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 2.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The
average balance of investment portfolio, which included interest-bearing cash balances and available-for-sale securities
decreased $1.0 million, or 1.7%, compared to a year ago.
Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased $134,000, or 7.5%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in interest expense was as a result of both a higher weighted-average cost and balance of deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings.
Interest expense on deposits increased $393,000, or 26.8%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period a year ago, driven by an increase of $39.8 million, or 8.3%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $519.3 million, and an 18 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits to 1.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from 1.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Interest expense on FHLB borrowings decreased $259,000, or 81.4%, to $59,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a year ago, due to a $46.3 million, or 85.6% decrease in the average balance of FHLB borrowings to $7.8 million, from $54.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Net Interest Income.   Net interest income decreased $261,000, or 3.7%, to $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, from $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net interest income was primarily a result of an increase in interest expense due to higher average balances of and rates paid on deposits and a decrease in interest income on investments due to lower yields, partially offset by decreased interest expense paid on borrowings and increased interest income on loans. Net interest income has been significantly impacted by decreases in the targeted Federal Funds Rate since July 2019, including the 150 basis point decrease in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The 150 basis-point decrease in the targeted Federal Funds Rate in response to COVID-19 pandemic did not occur until late in the quarter in March 2020, and the full effect of the lower interest rate environment had not yet been realized at quarter end. Furthermore, the effect of recent changes in the targeted Federal Funds Rate on the cost of funding liabilities typically lags the effect on the yield earned on interest-earning assets because rates on many deposit accounts are decision-based, not tied to a specific market-based index, and are based on competition for deposits while most interest-earning assets adjust earlier because they are tied to a specific market-based index. Because the length of the COVID-19 pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including the recent 150 basis point reductions in the targeted federal funds rate, until the pandemic subsides, we expect our net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in 2020.
Provision/(Recapture) for Loan Losses.  We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, based on our review of the level of the allowance for loan losses required to reflect management’s best estimate of the probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group data, prevailing economic conditions, and current factors.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as one- to four- family, small commercial and multifamily, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors adjusted for current economic conditions and other relevant data. Loans for which management has concerns about the borrowers’ ability to repay, are evaluated individually and specific loss allocations are provided for these loans when necessary.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $250,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a recapture from the allowance for loan losses of $200,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The recapture during the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a lower balance of loans held-for-portfolio as a result of a $16.2 million one-to-four family loan sale during that quarter. The increase in the provision for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily related to uncertainty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Net loan recoveries were $3,000 for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. A further decline in national and local economic conditions, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the adjustment of reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income decreased $299,000, or 29.7%, to $709,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

The decrease in noninterest income during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to decreases in gain on sale of loans. The higher gain on sale of loans during the first quarter of 2019 was a result of the sale of $16.2 million of one-to-four family loans held in portfolio during that quarter.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense decreased $449,000, or 7.0%, to $5.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $6.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to decreases of $404,000 in salaries and benefits and $240,000 operations expense, partially offset by a $137,000 increase in regulatory assessments expense. Salaries and benefits expense decreased due to higher deferred salaries and lower self-insured medical expense accruals, which accruals factor in the stop loss coverage provided by the Company’s catastrophic loss insurance. Operations expense decreased due to a $216,000 decrease in professional and consulting fees and $100,000 of operational losses from wire fraud recognized in the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Regulatory assessments increased to normal levels as the Bank utilized all of its remaining regulatory assessment credits last year and due to costs for the DFI examination paid during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
 
The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was 79.95%, compared to 79.97% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.
Income Tax Expense.  For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred income tax expense of $260,000 as compared $358,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were 20.95% and 19.87%, respectively. 
Liquidity
The Management Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K contains an overview of Sound Financial Bancorp’s and the Bank’s liquidity management, sources of liquidity and cash flows. This discussion updates that disclosure for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank’s primary investing activity is loan originations. The Bank maintains liquidity levels it believes to be adequate to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments.  At March 31, 2020, the Bank had $73.2 million in cash and investment securities available-for-sale and $5.9 million in loans held-for-sale generally available for its cash needs.  Also, at March 31, 2020, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $216.3 million in FHLB advances based on existing collateral pledged, and could access $38.2 million through the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window. At March 31, 2020, we also had available a total of $20.0 million in credit facilities with other financial institutions, with no balance outstanding. The Bank uses these sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals and loan commitments. At March 31, 2020, outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines and letters of credit totaled $120.0 million, including $40.1 million of undisbursed construction and land loans. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2020, totaled $125.6 million. Based on our competitive pricing, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank. In addition, the Bank’s liquidity is expected to be supplemented in the second quarter of 2020 by its participation in the Federal Reserve’s PPPLF pursuant to which the Bank will pledge PPP loans as collateral at face value to obtain Federal Reserve Bank non-recourse loans.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $6.2 million to $62.0 million as of March 31, 2020, from $55.8 million as of December 31, 2019. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.  Net cash used in investing activities totaled $7.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and consisted primarily of a increases in net loans and available-for-sale securities. The $17.2 million of net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily the result of a $17.8 million net increase in deposits.

40



As a separate legal entity from the Bank, the Company must provide for its own liquidity.  At March 31, 2020, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $2.0 million in cash, noninterest-bearing deposits and liquid investments generally available for its cash needs. The Company’s principal source of liquidity is dividends and ESOP loan repayments from the Bank.
Except as set forth above, management is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties that will have, or that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on liquidity, capital resources or operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks.  These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. 
A summary of our off-balance sheet loan commitments at March 31, 2020, is as follows (in thousands):

Capital
Sound Community Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by regulations of the FDIC.  Capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require Sound Community Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.

Prior to January 1, 2020, the Bank followed the FDIC’s prompt corrective actions standards. In order to be considered well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action standards, a bank must have a ratio of CET1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.5%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%, and the bank must not be subject to a regulatory capital requirement imposed on it as an individual bank. In order to be considered adequately capitalized, a bank must have the minimum capital ratios described above. Institutions with lower capital ratios are assigned to lower capital categories. Based on safety and soundness concerns, the FDIC may assign an institution to a lower capital category than would originally apply based on its capital ratios. The FDIC is also authorized to require Sound Community Bank to maintain additional amounts of capital in connection with concentrations of assets, interest rate risk, and certain other items. The FDIC has not imposed such a requirement on Sound Community Bank. Effective January 1, 2020, a bank that elects to use the Community Bank Leverage Ratio (“CBLR”) framework as provided for in the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act will generally be considered well-capitalized and to have met the risk-based and leverage capital requirements of the capital regulations if it has a leverage ratio greater than 9.0%. As required by the CARES Act, the FDIC has temporarily lowered the CBLR to 8% beginning in the second quarter of 2020 through the end of the year. Beginning in 2021, the CBLR will increase to 8.5% for that calendar year. The CBLR will return to 9% on January 1, 2022. To be eligible to utilize the CBLR, the Bank also must have total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, off-balance sheet exposures of 25% or less of its total consolidated assets, and trading assets and trading liabilities of 5.0% or less of its total consolidated assets, all as of the end of the most recent quarter. As of March 31, 2020, the Bank elected to use the CBLR framework. At March 31, 2020, the Bank’s CBLR was 10.41%. Management monitors the capital levels to provide for current and future business opportunities and to maintain Sound Community Bank’s “well-capitalized” status. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Sound Community Bank had regulatory capital in excess of the Federal Reserve’s minimum and well capitalized definitions requirements.
The actual regulatory capital amounts and ratios calculated for Sound Community Bank at December 31, 2019, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Pursuant to the capital regulations of the FDIC and the other federal banking agencies, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels of risk-based CET1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses. At March 31, 2020, the Bank’s CET1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.
For a bank holding company with less than $3.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company’s subsidiary banks to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations. If Sound Financial Bancorp was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $3.0 billion or more in assets, at March 31, 2020, Sound Financial Bancorp would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.  The estimated Community Bank Leverage Ratio calculated for Sound Financial Bancorp as of March 31, 2020 were 10.41%.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company provided information about market risk in Item 7A of its 2019 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in our market risk since our 2019 Form 10-K.
Item 4.     Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)), as of March 31, 2020, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and several other members of the Company’s senior management. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and to improve the Company’s controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company’s business. While we believe the present design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve this goal, future events affecting our business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will

42



succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1     Legal Proceedings
In the normal course of business, the Company occasionally becomes involved in various legal proceedings.  In the opinion of management, any liability from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. 
Item 1A    Risk Factors
In light of recent developments relating to COVID-19, the Company is supplementing its risk factors contained in Item 1A of its 2019 Form 10-K. The following risk factor should be read in conjunction with the risk factors described in the 2019 Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our ability to conduct business and is expected to adversely impact our financial results and those of our customers. The ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly adversely affected our operations and the way we provide banking services to businesses and individuals, most of whom are currently under government issued stay-at-home orders. As an essential business, we continue to provide banking and financial services to our customers with branches remaining open with reduced lobby hours and social distancing queues in place and extended drive-thru hours In addition, we continue to provide access to banking and financial services through online banking, ATMs, ITMs and by telephone. If the COVID-19 pandemic worsens it could limit or disrupt our ability to provide banking and financial services to our customers.
In response to the stay-at-home orders, the majority of our employees currently are working remotely to enable us to continue to provide banking services to our customers. Heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks may result from these remote work-from-home arrangements. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also rely upon our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.
There is pervasive uncertainty surrounding the future economic conditions that will emerge in the months and years following the start of the pandemic. As a result, management is confronted with a significant and unfamiliar degree of uncertainty in estimating the impact of the pandemic on credit quality, revenues and asset values. The COVID-19 pandemic may result in declines in loan demand and loan originations, other than through government sponsored programs such as the Payroll Protection Program, deposit availability, market interest rates and negatively impacted many of our business and consumer borrower’s ability to make their loan payments. Because the length of the pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including recent reductions in the targeted federal funds rate, until the pandemic subsides, we expect our net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected in the near term, if not longer. Many of our borrowers have become unemployed or may face unemployment, and certain businesses are at risk of insolvency as their revenues decline precipitously, especially in businesses related to travel, hospitality, leisure and physical personal services. Businesses may ultimately not reopen as there is a significant level of uncertainty regarding the level of economic activity that will return to our markets over time, the impact of governmental assistance, the speed of economic recovery, the resurgence of COVID-19 in subsequent seasons and changes to demographic and social norms that will take place.
The impact of the pandemic is expected to continue to adversely affect us during 2020 and possibly longer as the ability of many of our customers to make loan payments has been significantly affected. Although the Company makes estimates of loan losses related to the pandemic as part of its evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, such estimates involve significant judgment and are made in the context of significant uncertainty as to the impact the pandemic will have on the credit quality of our loan portfolio. It is likely that increased loan delinquencies, adversely classified loans and loan charge-offs will increase in the future as a result of the pandemic. Consistent with guidance provided by banking regulators, we have modified loans by providing various loan payment deferral options to our borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwithstanding these modifications, these borrowers may not be able to resume making full payments on their loans once the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved. Any increases in the allowance for credit losses will result in a decrease in net income and, most likely, capital, and may have a material negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

44



The PPP loans made by the Bank are guaranteed by the SBA and, if used by the borrower for authorized purposes, may be fully forgiven. However, in the event of a loss resulting from a default on a PPP loan and a determination by the SBA that there was a deficiency in the manner in which the PPP loan was originated, funded or serviced by the Bank, the SBA may deny its liability under the guaranty, reduce the amount of the guaranty or, if it has already made payment under the guaranty, seek recovery of any loss related to the deficiency from the Bank. In addition, since the commencement of the PPP, several larger banks have been subject to litigation regarding their processing of PPP loan applications. The Bank may be exposed to the risk of similar litigation, from both customers and non-customers that approached the Bank seeking PPP loans. PPP lenders, including the Bank, may also be subject to the risk of litigation in connection with other aspects of the PPP, including but not limited to borrowers seeking forgiveness of their loans. If any such litigation is filed against the Bank, it may result in significant financial or reputational harm to us.
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy will likely require some time to recover from its effects, the length of which is unknown. and during which we may experience a recession. As a result, we anticipate our business may be materially and adversely affected during this recovery. To the extent the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impact our business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our 2019 Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
