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 (“U.S. 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 U.S. 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, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2021 (“2020 Form 10-K”). The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other future period.

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, stockholders’ equity or earnings per share.

Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"), signed into law on March 27, 2020, 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 Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 310-40 for loan modifications related to the novel coronavirus disease 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 TDRs. The Interagency Statement was originally issued on March 22, 2020, but the banking 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, and (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. 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 effective March 27, 2020. On December 27, 2020, the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2021 (“CAA 2021”) was signed into law. Among other purposes, CAA 2021 provides coronavirus emergency response and relief, including extending relief offered under the CARES Act related to restructured loans as a result of COVID-19 through January 1, 2022 or 60 days after the end of the national emergency declared by the President, whichever is earlier.

In October 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs” (“ASU 2020-08”). ASU 2020-08 clarifies that the Company should reevaluate whether a callable debt security is within the scope of paragraph 310-20-35-33 for each reporting period. ASU 2020-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

On March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform" ("Topic 848"). This ASU provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update apply to contract modifications that replace a reference rate affected by reference rate reform (including rates referenced in fallback provisions) and contemporaneous modifications of other contract terms related to the replacement of the reference rate (including contract modifications to add or change fallback provisions). The following optional expedients for applying the requirements of certain Topics or Industry Subtopics in the Codification are permitted for contracts that are modified because of reference rate reform and that meet certain scope guidance: 1) Modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 310, Receivables, and 470, Debt, should be accounted for by prospectively adjusting the effective interest rate; 2) Modifications of contracts within the scope of Topics 840, Leases, and 842, Leases, should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and the discount rate (for example, the incremental borrowing rate) or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required under those Topics for modifications not accounted for as separate contracts; and 3) Modifications of contracts do not require an entity to reassess its original conclusion about whether that contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract under Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging— Embedded Derivatives. In January 2021, ASU 2021-01 updated amendments in the new ASU to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. The ASU also amends the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 to capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification. The amendments in this ASU have differing effective dates, beginning with interim period including and subsequent to 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.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. 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 adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company's 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 adoption of ASU No. 2018-14 did not have a material impact on the Company's 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 new guidance may result in an increase in the allowance for loan losses; however, the Company is still in the process of determining the magnitude of the change and its impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), delaying implementation of ASU No. 2016-13 for SEC smaller reporting company filers until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Bank meets the requirements of a smaller reporting company and will delay implementation of ASU No. 2016-13.

The amortized cost and fair value of AFS securities at June 30, 2021, by contractual maturity, are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities of AFS securities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Investments not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed investments, are shown separately.

There were no pledged securities at June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.

There were no sales of AFS securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

The following table summarizes the aggregate fair value and gross unrealized loss by length of time of those investments that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at the dates indicated (in thousands):

There were no credit losses recognized in earnings related to other than temporary impairments during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

At June 30, 2021, the securities portfolio consisted of 11 agency mortgage-backed securities and nine municipal bonds with a total portfolio fair value of $7.5 million. At December 31, 2020, the securities portfolio consisted of 16 agency mortgage-backed securities and ten municipal bonds with a fair value of $10.2 million. At June 30, 2021, there were three 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. At December 31, 2020, there were three 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 June 30, 2021, 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. Deterioration in market and economic conditions related to the 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 and other assets (such as OREO and repossessed assets), debt and equity securities considered as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss." An asset is considered "substandard" if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. "Substandard" assets include those characterized by the "distinct possibility" that the insured institution will sustain "some loss" if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as "doubtful" have all of the weaknesses in those classified "substandard," with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make "collection or liquidation 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 the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.

When we classify problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, we may establish a specific allowance in an amount we deem prudent to address specific impairments. General allowances represent loss allowances 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 assets. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off those assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. 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, since our conversion to a Washington-chartered commercial bank, the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, the Bank's state banking regulator, which can order the establishment of additional loss allowances. Assets which do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated as special mention.

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 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 the dates indicated, by type of loan were as follows (in thousands):

Forgone interest on nonaccrual loans was $49 thousand and $109 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. There were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual or impaired at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Troubled debt restructurings. TDRs are loans accounted for under ASC 310-40, 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 $2.6 million and $3.2 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 no loans modified as a TDR during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. There were two TDR loans totaling $484 thousand that were paid off during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

There was one loan totaling $431 thousand modified as a TDR during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and three loans totaling $649 thousand were modified as TDRs during the six months ended June 30, 2020. There was one TDR loan totaling $2.8 million paid off during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. There were no loans modified as a TDR for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of modification and no charge-offs relating to TDRs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. There was one loan totaling $161 thousand modified as a TDR for which there was a payment default within the first 12 months of modification during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers owing receivables whose terms have been modified into TDRs.

In March 2020, the Company began offering short-term loan modifications to assist borrowers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act, and the Interagency Statement provides that a short-term modification made to a loan in response to COVID-19 which meets certain criteria does not need to be placed on nonaccrual status or accounted for as a TDR pursuant to applicable accounting and regulatory guidance until the earlier of 60 days after the national emergency termination date or January 1, 2022. The majority of these borrowers had resumed making payments as of June 30, 2021, and as of that date, only three commercial loans totaling $1.7 million and nine residential loans totaling $1.3 million, remained on deferral status under COVID-19 loan modification forbearance agreements. We continue to monitor these loans through our normal credit risk processes and any request for continuation of relief beyond the initial modification is reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate.

As of June 30, 2021, there were two one-to-four family loans totaling $120 thousand that were in process of foreclosure.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments based on the requirements established in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), 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 June 30, 2021 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 - One-to-four family mortgage loans held-for-sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate one-to-four family loans is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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.

Subordinated Debt - The fair value of subordinated debt is estimated using discounted cash flows based on current lending rates for similar long-term debt instruments with similar terms and remaining time to maturity.

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 is 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.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy. In such cases, the lowest level of inputs that is significant to the measurement is used to determine the hierarchy for the entire asset or liability. Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s quarterly valuation process. There were no transfers between levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

The following tables present information about the level in the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, whether or not recognized or recorded at fair value as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

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 and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

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, FHLB Stock and Subordinated Notes

The Company has 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount available to borrow under this credit facility was $402.0 million and $390.5 million, respectively, subject to eligible pledged collateral. At June 30, 2021, the credit facility was collateralized as follows: one-to-four family mortgage loans with an advance equivalent of $71.3 million, commercial and multifamily mortgage loans with an advance equivalent of $79.6 million and home equity loans with an advance equivalent of $582 thousand. At December 31, 2020, the credit facility was collateralized as follows: one-to-four family mortgage loans with an advance equivalent of $103.6 million, commercial and multifamily mortgage loans with an advance equivalent of $128.9 million and home equity loans with an advance equivalent of $2.8 million. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this arrangement at both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The weighted-average interest rate of the Company’s borrowings under this agreement at December 31, 2020 was 3.10%.

Additionally, the Company had outstanding letters of credit from the FHLB of Des Moines with a notional amount of $19.6 million and $21.6 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, to secure public deposits. The remaining amount available to borrow as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was $131.9 million and $213.7 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 June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had an investment of $1.1 million and $877 thousand, respectively in FHLB of Des Moines stock.

The Company has access to an unsecured Fed Funds line of credit from Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank. The line has a one year term maturing on June 30, 2022 and is renewable annually. As of June 30, 2021, the amount available under this line of credit was $20.0 million. There was no balance on this line of credit as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

In September 2020, the Company issued $12.0 million of fixed to floating rate subordinated notes that mature in 2030. The subordinated notes have an initial fixed interest rate of 5.25% to, but excluding, October 1, 2025, payable semi-annually in arrears. From, and including, October 1, 2025, the interest rate on the subordinated notes will reset quarterly to a floating rate per annum equal to a benchmark rate, which is expected to be the then-current three-month term Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, plus 513 basis points, payable quarterly in arrears. The subordinated notes mature on May 15, 2030. Prior to October 1, 2025, the Company may redeem these notes, in whole but not in part, only under certain limited circumstances set forth in the notes and are redeemable by the Company in whole or in part beginning with the interest payment date of October 1, 2025. As of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of the subordinated notes was $11.6 million.

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. 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.

The following table summarizes the calculation of earnings per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Net income	$	2,251	$	2,113	$	4,702	$	3,094
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding, basic	2,583		2,560		2,579		2,553
Effect of potentially dilutive common shares	45		20		41		32
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding, diluted	2,628		2,580		2,620		2,585
Earnings per share, basic	$	0.87	$	0.83	$	1.81	$	1.21
Earnings per share, diluted	$	0.85	$	0.82	$	1.78	$	1.20

(1) The basic and diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are the same under both the Treasury Stock Method and the Two-Class Method as prescribed in FASB ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share.

There were no anti-dilutive securities at June 30, 2021 and 6,809 anti-dilutive securities at June 30, 2020.

Note 10 – Stock-based Compensation

Stock Options and Restricted Stock

The Company currently has one active shareholder approved stock-based compensation 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 June 30, 2021, on an adjusted basis, awards for stock options totaling 272,124 shares and awards for restricted stock totaling 142,621 shares of Company common stock have been granted, net of any forfeitures, to participants in the 2013 Plan and the 2008 Plan. Share-based compensation expense was $65 thousand and $231 thousand for the three and six months ended months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and was $46 thousand and $231 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Stock Option Awards

All stock option awards granted under the 2008 Plan vest in 20% 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.

As of June 30, 2021, there was $102 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the Plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average vesting period of approximately 2.8 years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options granted for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of the grant date.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
		2021			2020
Annual dividend yield		1.60		%	1.60		%
Expected volatility		21.67		%	21.67		%

Expected term		6.50 years			6.50 years
Weighted-average grant date fair value per option granted		$	5.64		$	7.14

There were no options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2021 or 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.

The following is a summary of the Company’s non-vested restricted stock award activity during the three months ended June 30, 2021:

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 June 30, 2021, the remaining balance of the ESOP loan was $126 thousand.

Neither the loan balance nor the related interest expense is reflected on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2021, the ESOP held and is committed to release 11,340 shares of the Company’s common stock to participants during 2021. The fair value of the 148,266 shares held by the ESOP trust was $7.0 million at June 30, 2021. ESOP compensation expense included in salaries and benefits was $180 thousand and $350 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, and $174 thousand and $348 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Note 11 – Leases

We have operating leases for branch locations, a loan production office, our corporate office and in the past, for certain equipment.

Generally, our real estate leases have initial terms of three to ten years and typically include one renewal option. Our leases have remaining lease terms of one year to eight years. The operating leases generally contain renewal options and require us to pay property taxes and operating expenses for the properties.

General

Sound Financial Bancorp, a Maryland corporation, is a bank holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sound Community Bank. Substantially all of Sound Financial Bancorp’s business is conducted through Sound Community Bank, a Washington state-chartered commercial bank. As a Washington commercial bank, the Bank’s regulators are the Washington Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Federal Reserve is the primary federal regulator for Sound Financial Bancorp. We also sell insurance products and services for clients through Sound Community Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank.

Sound Community Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. At June 30, 2021, Sound Financial Bancorp, on a consolidated basis, had assets of $923.2 million, net loans held-for-portfolio of $633.5 million, deposits of $804.7 million and stockholders’ equity of $89.5 million. The shares of Sound Financial Bancorp are traded on NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “SFBC.” Our executive offices are located at 2400 3rd Avenue, Suite 150, Seattle, Washington, 98121.

Our principal business consists of attracting retail and commercial deposits from the general public and investing those 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 significant 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 held in our loan portfolio. 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 2020 Form 10-K.

COVID-19 Response

The Company continues to offer a variety of relief options designed to support our clients and communities we serve during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Participation. The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP. 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. The first round of the program expired on August 8, 2020, and a second round reopened the program beginning January 1, 2021 through May 31, 2021.

During 2021, we continued our participation in the initial SBA PPP by processing applications for PPP loan forgiveness. As of June 30, 2021, we had received SBA forgiveness for 881 PPP loans totaling $71.3 million out of the $76.4 million in PPP loans funded during the first PPP. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we began accepting and processing loan applications under the second PPP enacted in December 2020. As of June 30, 2021, we had funded 599 PPP loans totaling $42.8 million and had received SBA forgiveness for 224 PPP loans totaling $11.8 million under the second PPP. We had 410 PPP loans outstanding totaling $36.0 million as of June 30, 2021.

The following table summarizes our PPP participation as of June 30, 2021 (dollars in thousands):


	Funded					At June 30, 2021
	Total		Number of Loans	Average Loan Amount		Outstanding		Number of Loans
First PPP	$	76,384	916	$	83,389	$	5,036	35
Second PPP	42,787		599	71,431		31,007		375
Total PPP loans	$	119,171	1,515	$	78,661	$	36,043	410

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded in interest income SBA processing fees of $856 thousand and $1.5 million, respectively, and $240 thousand for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, interest income earned on PPP loans totaled $145 thousand and $276 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and $131 thousand for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Loan Modifications. We are continuing to provide payment relief for both consumer and business clients, most of which relief involves interest only or payment deferrals that range from 90 to 180 days. Deferred loans are re-evaluated at the end of the deferral period and will either return to the original loan terms or be reassessed at that time to determine if a further modification should be granted and if a downgrade in risk rating is appropriate. As of June 30, 2021, we had residential and commercial loans under payment relief related to COVID-19 as summarized below (dollars in thousands):


	Second Request			Third Request			Fourth Request			Total
	# of Loans	Amount		# of Loans	Amount		# of Loans	Amount		# of Loans	Amount
Residential loans (1)	4	$	175	3	$	1,011	2	$	86	9	$	1,271
Commercial loans (2)	0	—		0	—		3	1,666		3	1,666
Total loans	4	$	175	3	$	1,011	5	$	1,752	12	$	2,938

(1)Entered into a forbearance agreement with a weighted-average loan-to-value of 72%, 68% and 72% for loans under their second, third or fourth request, respectively.

(2)Entered into an interest-only payment agreement with a weighted-average loan-to-value of 65% for loans under their fourth request.

The foregoing weighted-average loan-to-values are based on appraisals obtained at the time of loan origination and the current loan amount. All of these loan modifications have been made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are not classified as troubled debt restructurings pursuant to applicable accounting and regulatory guidance until the earlier of 60 days after the national emergency termination date or January 1, 2022. 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.

Support for Clients, Employees and Community during Pandemic. We remain focused on keeping our employees safe and the Bank running effectively to serve its clients. The Bank is managing branch access and occupancy levels in relation to cases and close contact scenarios, following governmental restrictions and considering public health authority guidelines, and encouraging remote work and supporting employees with paid time off. As of June 30, 2021, all of our branch lobbies were open. The Company is aware of the recent surge in COVID-19 infections arising out of the so-called Delta variant and is prepared to restore other protocols, as may prove to be necessary.

We continue to work closely with our borrowers to evaluate pandemic related challenges. We also continue to support our not-for-profit organizations albeit most activity is virtual.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020

General. Total assets increased $61.8 million, or 7.2%, to $923.2 million at June 30, 2021 from $861.4 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of a higher balances in cash and cash equivalents and in loans held-for-portfolio.

Cash and Securities. Cash and cash equivalents increased $43.0 million, or 22.2%, to $236.8 million at June 30, 2021 from $193.8 million at December 31, 2020 primarily due to deposit growth. Available-for-sale securities, which consist of municipal bonds and agency mortgage-backed securities decreased $2.7 million, or 26.4%, to $7.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $10.2 million at December 31, 2020 as a result of normal pay downs in investment securities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the call of a municipal bond for $950 thousand during the second quarter of 2021.

Loans. Loans held-for-portfolio, net, increased $26.1 million, or 4.3%, to $633.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $607.4 million at December 31, 2020, driven by our origination of $42.8 million of PPP loans in the second round, a $9.1 million increase in construction and land loans, and the purchase of $24.1 million in jumbo one-to-four family loans during the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by loan repayments, including the forgiveness by the SBA of $11.8 million of commercial business PPP loans during the period.

The following table reflects the changes in the loan mix of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2021, as compared to December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Amount Change		Percent Change
One-to-four family	$	170,351	$	130,657	$	39,694	30.4	%
Home equity	15,378		16,265		(887)		(5.5)
Commercial and multifamily	244,047		265,774		(21,727)		(8.2)
Construction and land	71,881		62,752		9,129		14.5
Manufactured homes	21,032		20,941		91		0.4
Floating homes	43,741		39,868		3,873		9.7
Other consumer	15,557		15,024		533		3.5
Commercial business	59,969		64,217		(4,248)		(6.6)
Deferred loan fees	(2,323)		(2,135)		(188)		8.8
Total loans held-for-portfolio, gross	639,633		613,363		26,270		4.3
Allowance for loan losses	(6,157)		(6,000)		(157)		2.6
Total loans held-for-portfolio, net	$	633,476	$	607,363	$	26,113	4.3	%

The increase in the loan portfolio was primarily related to increases in one-to-four family loans and construction and land loans. One-to-four family loans increased $39.7 million, or 30.4%, to $170.4 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $130.7 million at December 31, 2020, driven primarily by the purchase of $24.1 million in jumbo loans during the second quarter of 2021 and the origination of $24.1 million of conforming and non-conforming jumbo loans in our portfolio. The increase in construction and land for the same period was primarily due to new originations and advances on previously approved loans. These increases were partially offset by decreases in commercial and multifamily loans of $21.7 million and commercial business loans of $4.2 million. The decrease in commercial and multifamily was primarily due to increased payoff activity. The decrease in our commercial business loan portfolio was primarily due to SBA loan forgiveness, partially offset by our origination of 599 PPP loans totaling $42.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2021, our loan portfolio, net of deferred loan fees, remained well-diversified. Commercial and multifamily real estate loans accounted for 38.0% of total loans, one-to-four family loans, including home equity loans accounted for 28.9% of total loans, commercial business loans accounted for 9.4% of total loans, and consumer loans, consisting of manufactured homes, floating homes, and other consumer loans

accounted for 12.5% of total loans at June 30, 2021. Construction and land loans accounted for 11.2% of total loans at June 30, 2021.

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):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Balance at beginning of period	$	5,935		$	5,893		$	6,000		$	5,640
Charge-offs	(33)			(311)			(105)			(317)
Recoveries	5			49			12			58
Net charge-offs	(28)			(262)			(93)			(259)
Provision for loan losses during the period	250			400			250			650
Balance at end of period	$	6,157		$	6,031		$	6,157		$	6,031

Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding during the period	(0.02)		%	(0.15)		%	(0.03)		%	(0.08)		%


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Allowance as a percentage of nonperforming loans (end of period)	412.67	%	208.04	%
Allowance as a percentage of total loans (end of period)	0.96	%	0.98	%

Our allowance for loan losses increased $157 thousand, or 2.6%, to $6.2 million at June 30, 2021, from $6.0 million at December 31, 2020.

Specific loan loss reserves decreased to $337 thousand at June 30, 2021, compared to $378 thousand at December 31, 2020, while general loan loss reserves increased to $5.3 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 2020 and the unallocated reserve increased to $488 thousand at June 30, 2021, compared to $406 thousand at December 31, 2020. The increase in the general reserve was primarily a result of the increase in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2021. The $36.0 million balance of PPP loans was omitted from the calculation for the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2021, as these loans are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and management expects that the great majority of PPP borrowers will seek full or partial forgiveness of their loan obligations from the SBA within a short time frame, which in turn will reduce the Bank’s loan balance for the amount forgiven. Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $28 thousand and $93 thousand, respectively, compared to net charge-offs of $262 thousand and $259 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. At June 30, 2021, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans and nonperforming loans was 0.96% and 412.67%, respectively, compared to 0.98% and 208.04%, respectively, at December 31, 2020. See “Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 — Provision for Loan Losses.”

Mortgage Servicing Rights. The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was $4.2 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $371 thousand, or 9.8%, from $3.8 million at December 31, 2020. We record mortgage servicing rights on loans sold with servicing retained and upon acquisition of a servicing portfolio. 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. The increase in the fair value was primarily due to an increase in the underlying portfolio, as well as an increase in the market value of the portfolio due to slowing prepayment speeds.

Nonperforming Assets. At June 30, 2021, nonperforming assets totaled $2.2 million, or 0.23% of total assets, compared to $3.5 million, or 0.40% of total assets at December 31, 2020.

The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):


	Nonperforming Assets
	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Amount Change		Percent Change
Nonaccrual loans	$	1,068	$	2,710	$	(1,642)	(60.6)	%
Nonperforming TDRs	424		174		250		143.7
Total nonperforming loans	1,492		2,884		(1,392)		(48.3)

Total nonperforming assets	$	2,151	$	3,478	$	(1,327)	(38.2)	%

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.4 million, or 48.3%, to $1.5 million at June 30, 2021 from $2.9 million at December 31, 2020. The percentage of nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.23% at June 30, 2021, compared to 0.47% of total loans at December 31, 2020.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $56.7 million, or 7.6%, to $804.7 million at June 30, 2021 from $748.0 million at December 31, 2020. The increase was due primarily to disbursements of PPP loan proceeds into borrowers’ deposit accounts as well as stimulus funds deposited, and reduced withdrawals reflecting changes in customer spending habits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue our efforts to grow noninterest-bearing deposits, which increased $49.4 million, or 37.3%, to $181.8 million at June 30, 2021, compared to $132.5 million at December 31, 2020. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 22.6% of total deposits at June 30, 2021, compared to 17.7% at December 31, 2020.

A summary of deposit accounts with the corresponding weighted-average cost of funds at the dates indicated is presented below (dollars in thousands):


	June 30, 2021				December 31, 2020
	Amount		Wtd. Avg. Rate		Amount		Wtd. Avg. Rate

Stockholders’ Equity. Total stockholders’ equity increased $4.1 million, or 4.7%, to $89.5 million at June 30, 2021, from $85.5 million at December 31, 2020. This increase primarily reflects $4.7 million in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, partially offset by the payment of cash dividends of $1.1 million to common stockholders during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between changes related to outstanding balances and changes due to interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate (dollars in thousands).

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

General.

Q2 2021 vs Q2 2020. Net income increased $123 thousand, or 5.8%, to $2.3 million, or $0.85 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $2.1 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in net income was primarily the result of lower interest expense paid on deposits and an increase in noninterest income, partially offset by lower interest income earned on loans, higher interest expense paid on borrowings, and an increase in noninterest expense.

YTD 2021 vs. YTD 2020. Net income increased $1.6 million, or 51.3%, to $4.7 million, or $1.78 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3.1 million, or $1.20 per diluted common share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in noninterest income of $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, driven by an increase of $1.5 million in gains on sale of loans, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

Interest Income

Q2 2021 vs Q2 2020. Interest income decreased $293 thousand, or 3.4%, to $8.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to lower average loan balances, partially offset by a 22 basis point increase in average loan yields. Interest income on loans decreased $332 thousand, or 3.8%, to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, driven by lower average total loan balances resulting primarily from the decline in commercial and multifamily loans and commercial business loans. The average balance of total loans was $628.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $683.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The average yield on total loans was 5.30% for three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 5.08% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The average yield on loans increased primarily due to the recognition of net deferred fees from SBA’s forgiveness of PPP loans during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the average balance of PPP loans was $60.0 million and the average yield on PPP loans was 6.68%, including the recognition of the net deferred fees, with a positive impact on loan yield of 15 basis points. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the average balance of PPP loans was $52.7 million and the average yield on PPP loans was 2.84%, including the recognition of deferred fees, with a negative impact on loan yield of 19 basis points. Interest income included $1.0 million in fees earned related to PPP loans in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $372 thousand in the same period a year ago. At June 30, 2021, PPP deferred loan origination fees of $1.3 million remain to be accreted into interest income during the remaining life of the loans. The impact of PPP loans on loan yields will change during any period based on the volume of prepayments or amounts forgiven by the SBA as certain criteria are met, but is expected to cease completely after the two- or five-year maturity of the loans.

Interest income on the investment portfolio and cash and cash equivalents increased $39 thousand, or 50.6%, to $116 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $77 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in the interest income on investment securities and cash and cash equivalents was due to significantly higher average balances, partially offset by lower average yields. The average balance on investments and cash and cash equivalents was $249.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $68.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The substantial increase was due to higher average cash balances primarily due to the increase in deposit balances related to SBA PPP loans originrated in the past year. This excess liquidity negatively impacted the average yield on investments and cash and cash equivalents, which decreased to 0.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 0.46% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

YTD 2021 vs. YTD 2020. Interest income decreased $941 thousand, or 5.4%, to $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $17.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a 104 basis point decline in average yield on interest-earning assets. Interest income on loans decreased $856 thousand, or 5.0%, to $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $17.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, driven by lower average total loans resulting primarily from the decline in commercial and multifamily loans and commercial business loans and a five basis points decline in the average yield on loans. The average balance of total loans was $628.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $652.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The average yield on total loans was 5.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 5.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decline in the average yield on loans was muted by SBA’s forgiveness of PPP loans during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the average balance of PPP loans was $57.0 million and the average yield on PPP loans was 6.21%, including the recognition of the net deferred fees, with a positive impact on average loan yield of 10 basis points. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the average balance of PPP loans was $26.3 million and the average yield on PPP loans was 2.83%,

including the recognition of deferred fees, with a negative impact on average loan yield of 10 basis points. Interest income included $1.8 million in fees earned related to PPP loans in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $372 thousand in the same period a year ago.

Interest income on the investment portfolio and cash and cash equivalents decreased $85 thousand, or 27.1%, to $229 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $314 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in the interest income on investment securities and cash and cash equivalents was due to lower average yields, partially offset by higher average balances. The average yield on investments and cash and cash equivalents was 0.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 0.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to the substantial increase in cash and cash equivalents earning a nominal yield.

Interest Expense

Q2 2021 vs Q2 2020. Interest expense decreased $748 thousand, or 41.3%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of declining deposit costs, a higher percentage of noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits and repayment of FHLB advances, partially offset by the interest expense on subordinated notes issued in the third quarter of 2020.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $853 thousand, or 48.8%, to $896 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $1.7 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of a decline in the weighted-average cost of deposits reflecting reduced rates paid on deposits. In addition, deposit costs were favorably impacted by a $44.2 million increase in average noninterest bearing deposits to $179.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $135.4 million for the same period last year. The weighted-average cost of total deposits decreased 58 basis points to 0.45% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, from 1.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $105 thousand, or 166.7%, to $168 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021, comprised solely of interest expense on our subordinated notes, compared to $63 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2020, comprised solely of interest expense on our FHLB advances. Average borrowings decreased $590 thousand, to $11.6 million at June 30, 2021, consisting solely of subordinated notes, from $12.2 million at June 30, 2020, which consisted solely of FHLB advances. The weighted-average cost of the subordinated notes was 5.81% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, while the weighted-average cost of the FHLB advances was 2.08% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

YTD 2021 vs. YTD 2020. Interest expense decreased $1.2 million, or 32.3%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily as a result of declining deposit costs and a higher percentage of noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits.

Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.4 million, or 39.3%, to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $3.6 million for the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily the result of a decline in the average cost of deposits reflecting reduced market rates paid on deposits. The average cost of total deposits decreased 55 basis points to 0.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from 1.11% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest expense on borrowings increased $213 thousand, or 173.2%, to $336 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021, comprised solely of interest expense on our subordinated notes, compared to $123 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was related solely to FHLB advances. Average borrowings increased $1.6 million, to $11.6 million at June 30, 2021, consisting solely of subordinated notes, from $10.0 million at June 30, 2020, which consisted of solely FHLB advances. The average cost of the subordinated notes was 5.84% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, while the average cost of the FHLB advances was 2.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net Interest Income.

Q2 2021 vs Q2 2020. Net interest income increased $455 thousand, or 6.6%, to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, from $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Our net interest margin was 3.36% and 3.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in net interest income primarily resulted from the decline in the average rate paid on deposits. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to yields earned on interest-earning assets declining at a faster rate than interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as changes in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits tend to lag changes in market interest rate. During the second quarter of 2021, the average yield earned on PPP loans, including the recognition of the net deferred fees for PPP loans repaid and forgiven by the SBA, resulted in a positive impact to the net interest margin of 24 basis points, compared to a negative impact of 6 basis points during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

YTD 2021 vs. YTD 2020. Net interest income increased $263 thousand, or 1.9%, to $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, from $13.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our net interest margin was 3.23% and 3.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in net interest income primarily resulted from the decline in the average rate paid on deposits being substantially offset by declines in both the average loan balance and yield. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily due to yields earned on interest-earning assets declining at a faster rate than interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as changes in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits tend to lag changes in market interest rate.

Provision 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.

A provision for loan losses of $250 thousand was recorded for both of the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $400 thousand and $650 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The decrease in the provision for loan losses in the current quarter and six-month period compared to the comparable periods in 2020 was primarily due to a decrease in the balance of loans held-for-portfolio and in the current quarter, a $2.0 million decrease in non-performing loans from June 30, 2020. Our allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2021, not only reflects probable and inherent credit losses based upon the economic conditions that existed as of June 30, 2021, but also reflects the inherent economic improvements in our markets as initial COVID-19 restrictions implemented in the second quarter of last year have been lifted. Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $28 thousand and $93 thousand, respectively, compared to net charge-offs of $262 thousand and $259 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

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. Recently, we have seen most of our market areas reporting a fairly significant increase in COVID transmissions, which we understand from our public health authorities is largely attributed to lagging vaccination rates and an increase in cases related to the Delta variant. To date, we are not seeing renewed business activity restrictions in our primary markets. To the extent business activity restrictions are renewed, due to COVID-19 or otherwise, this will likely affect our business operations which may, in turn, result in a material increase our provision for loan and lease losses which would 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 increased $133 thousand, or 8.4%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):

The increase in noninterest income during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to $143 thousand improvement in the fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights and increases in both our mortgage servicing income of $86 thousand and service charges and fee income of $97 thousand, partially offset by the decrease in our net gain on sale of loans. The improvement in the fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights resulted from loan prepayment speeds slowing during the quarter as mortgage interest rates moved slightly higher during the quarter. The increase in the service charges and fee income primarily resulted from an increase in the number of checking accounts and an increase in debit card interchange fees. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in the net gain on sale of loans. As a result of refinance activity slowing over the past quarter, our residential loans originated for sale decreased. Loans sold during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, totaled $39.9 million, compared to $57.3 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Noninterest income increased $2.1 million, or 93.1%, to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,				Amount Change		Percent Change
	2021		2020
Service charges and fee income	$	1,059	$	923	$	136	14.7	%
Earnings on cash surrender value of BOLI	178		105		73		69.5
Mortgage servicing income	633		479		154		32.2
Fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights	(569)		(800)		231		(28.9)
Net gain on sale of loans	3,116		1,581		1,535		97.1
Total noninterest income	$	4,417	$	2,288	$	2,129	93.1	%

The increase in noninterest income during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to an increase in gain on sale of loans. As a result of reductions in market interest rates, refinance and home purchases have increased significantly over the last year, increasing our residential loans originated for sale. Loans sold during the six months ended June 30, 2021, totaled $108.0 million, compared to $80.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $582 thousand, or 10.8%, to $6.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $5.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Amount Change		Percent Change
	2021		2020
Salaries and benefits	$	3,314	$	2,818	$	496	17.6	%
Operations	1,361		1,326		35		2.6
Regulatory assessments	91		120		(29)		(24.2)
Occupancy	409		497		(88)		(17.7)
Data processing	813		645		168		26.0

Total noninterest expense	$	5,988	$	5,406	$	582	10.8	%

The increase in noninterest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was due to an increase in salaries and benefits of $496 thousand primarily due to higher deferred compensation during 2020 and an increase in data processing expense of $168 thousand due to technology investments and variable costs associated with increased loan originations. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $88 thousand in occupancy expense.

Noninterest expense increased $799 thousand, or 7.0%, to $12.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $11.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as reflected below (dollars in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,				Amount Change		Percent Change
	2021		2020
Salaries and benefits	$	6,958	$	6,053	$	905	15.0	%
Operations	2,567		2,720		(153)		(5.6)
Regulatory assessments	192		369		(177)		(48.0)
Occupancy	857		995		(138)		(13.9)
Data processing	1,593		1,215		378		31.1
Net gain on OREO and repossessed assets	(16)		—		(16)		(100.0)
Total noninterest expense	$	12,151	$	11,352	$	799	7.0	%

The increase in noninterest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to increases of $905 thousand in salaries and benefits and $378 thousand in data processing expense, partially offset by a $153 thousand decrease in operations expense, a $177 thousand decrease in regulatory assessments and a $138 thousand decrease in occupancy expense. Salaries and benefits increased primarily due to discretionary bonuses paid for added efforts associated with the Company's COVID-19 response, implementation and execution of the SBA's PPP and higher medical expenses during 2021 as compared to 2020. Data processing expense increased due to technology investments and variable costs associated with increased loan originations. Operations expense decreased primarily due to lower loan expenses and office operations, and regulatory assessments decreased as the six months ended June 30, 2020 included regulatory examination costs. Occupancy expense decreased due to the closure of one branch location in June 2020.

The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 was 66.07%, compared to 63.79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and was 66.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 71.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The weakening in the efficiency ratio for the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to higher noninterest expense, partially offset by higher interest income and noninterest income. The improvement in the efficiency ratio was primarily due to higher noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Income Tax Expense. We incurred income tax expense of $574 thousand and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared $541 thousand and $802 thousand for the same periods in 2020. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were 20.32% and 20.35%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were 20.27% and 20.51%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Management Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s 2020 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 six months ended June 30, 2021.

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 June 30, 2021, the Bank had $244.3 million in cash and investment securities available-for-sale and $3.7 million in loans held-for-sale generally available for its cash needs. Also, at June 30, 2021, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $131.9 million in FHLB advances based on existing collateral pledged, and could access $24.8 million through the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, the Bank was approved to utilize the PPPLF. The Bank may utilize the PPPLF pursuant to which the Bank will pledge PPP loans at face value as collateral to obtain FRB non-recourse loans. During the quarter ended and as of June 30, 2021, the Bank did not utilize the PPPLF as it held a substantial cash and cash equivalent position as a result of PPP disbursed funds remaining unused in borrower deposit accounts and due to deposit customers increasing their balances due to COVID-19. The termination date for the PPPLF is July 30, 2021; as a result, no new extensions of credit will be made under the PPPLF after that date. At June 30, 2021, 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 June 30, 2021, outstanding loan commitments totaled $85.7 million, including unused lines and letters of credit of $25.3 million and undisbursed construction and land loans of $38.2 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2021, totaled $93.1 million.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $43.0 million to $236.8 million as of June 30, 2021, from $193.8 million as of December 31, 2020. Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $27.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and consisted primarily of increases in loans and the purchase of BOLI, partially offset by principal payments on maturities of investment securities. The $55.7 million of net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily was the result of a $56.7 million net increase in deposits.

At June 30, 2021, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $5.4 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. The long-term ability of the Company to pay dividends to its stockholders is based primarily upon the ability of the Bank to make capital distributions to the Company. So long as the Bank remains well capitalized after each capital distribution (as evidenced by maintaining a Community Bank Leverage Ratio ("CBLR") greater than the required percentage), as discussed below, and operates in a safe and sound manner, it is management's belief that its banking regulators will continue to allow the Bank to distribute its earnings to the Company, although no assurance can be given in this regard.

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 June 30, 2021, is as follows (in thousands):


	June 30, 2021
Commitments to make loans	$	22,065
Unfunded construction commitments	38,225
Unused lines of credit	25,308
Irrevocable letters of credit	80
Total loan commitments	$	85,678

Regulatory Capital

Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a well-capitalized status for the Bank per the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action (“PCA”). Qualifying institutions that

elect to use the CBLR framework, such as the Bank and the Company, that maintain the required minimum leverage ratio will be considered to have satisfied the generally applicable risk-based and leverage capital requirements in the regulatory agencies' capital rules, and to have met the capital requirements for the well capitalized category under the agencies’ PCA framework. As of June 30, 2021, the Bank and Company’s CBLR was 10.28% and 9.57%, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirements. See "Part I, Item 1. Business – Regulation of Sound Community Bank – Capital Rules " in the Company's 2020 Form 10-K for additional information related to regulatory capital.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company provided information about market risk in Item 7A of its 2020 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in our market risk since our 2020 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 June 30, 2021, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and several other members of the Company’s senior management. The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, 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 Company’s principal executive officer and principal 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 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 June 30, 2021, 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

There have been no material changes in the Risk Factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and use of Proceeds

The Company purchased $73 thousand of its shares under this program. On April 28, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a new stock repurchase program. Under this new repurchase program, the Company may repurchase its outstanding shares in the open market in an amount up to $2.0 million, based on prevailing market prices, or in privately negotiated transactions, over a period beginning on April 29, 2021, continuing until the earlier of the completion of the repurchase or the next six months, depending upon market conditions.
