The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Waterstone Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) and the
Company’s subsidiaries.
WaterStone Bank SSB (the "Bank") is a community bank that has served the banking needs of its customers since 1921. WaterStone Bank also
has an active mortgage banking subsidiary, Waterstone Mortgage Corporation.
WaterStone Bank conducts its community banking business from 11 banking offices located in Milwaukee, Washington and Waukesha Counties,
Wisconsin, as well as a loan production office in Minneapolis, Minnesota. WaterStone Bank's principal lending activity is originating one- to four-family, multi-family residential real estate, and commercial real estate loans for retention in its
portfolio. WaterStone Bank also offers home equity loans and lines of credit, construction and land loans, and commercial business loans, and consumer loans. WaterStone Bank funds its loan production primarily with retail deposits and Federal Home
Loan Bank advances. Our deposit offerings include: certificates of deposit, money market savings accounts, transaction deposit accounts, non-interest bearing demand accounts and individual retirement accounts. Our investment securities portfolio is
comprised principally of mortgage-backed securities, government-sponsored enterprise bonds and municipal obligations.
WaterStone Bank's mortgage banking operations are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Waterstone Mortgage Corporation.
Waterstone Mortgage Corporation originates single-family residential real estate loans for sale into the secondary market. Waterstone Mortgage Corporation utilizes lines of credit provided by WaterStone Bank as a primary source of funds, and also
utilizes a line of credit with another financial institution as needed.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”) for interim financial information, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and the instructions to Form 10-Q. The financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in shareholders’
equity, and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December
31, 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019 or for any other period.
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allowance for loan losses, deferred income taxes and real estate owned. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications did not result in
any changes to previously reported net income or shareholders' equity.
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
Topic 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" amended prior guidance to require an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and to provide clarification on identifying performance obligations and licensing
implementation guidance. The Company's revenue is comprised of interest and non-interest revenue. The guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities. The Company completed its overall
assessment of revenue streams and related contracts affected by the guidance, including asset management fees, deposit related fees, and other non-interest related fees. The Company adopted ASC 606 as of January 1, 2018 with no impact on total
shareholders' equity or net income.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue as it is earned and noted no impact to its revenue recognition policies as a result of the adoption of
ASC 606. The following is a discussion of revenues within the scope of the new revenue guidance:
|
|
●
|
Debit and credit card interchange fee
income - Card processing fees consist of interchange fees from consumer debit and credit card networks and other card related services. Interchange fees are based on purchase volumes and other factors and are recognized as
transactions occur.
|
●
|
Service charges on deposit accounts
- Revenue from service charges on deposit accounts is earned through deposit-related services; as well as overdraft, non-sufficient funds, account management and other deposit-related fees. Revenue is recognized for these services either
over time, corresponding with deposit accounts' monthly cycle, or at a point in time for transactional related services and fees.
|
●
|
Service charges on loan accounts
- Revenue from loan accounts consists primarily of fees earned on prepayment penalties. Revenue is recognized for these services at a point in time for transactional related services and fees.
|
- 9 -
ASC Topic 842 "Leases."
Authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 842, "Leases" amended prior guidance to require lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities arising from all leases on the balance sheet. The authoritative guidance defines a lease as a contract,
or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. In addition, the qualifications for a sale and leaseback
transaction have been amended. The authoritative guidance also requires qualitative and quantitative disclosures by lessees and lessors to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of
cash flows arising from leases. The Company used a prospective approach. The Company adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 with no impact on statement of income. See the impact on the financial condition discussed in Note 16.
ASC Topic 326 "Financial Instruments -
Credit Losses." Authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" amended the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and
requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information for credit loss estimates. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The authoritative guidance also requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented
at the net amount expected to be collected (net of the allowance for credit losses). In addition, the credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities should be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than a write-down. The
authoritative guidance will be effective for reporting periods after January 1, 2020. The Company is gathering the available data to build an internal model and reviewing the assumptions to support the calculation. Management is reviewing the changes
to the accounting standard with the appropriate depatments. The Company is in process of a CECL calculation and is working to run parallel in the second half of 2019.
ASC Topic 310 "Receivables - Nonrefundable
Fees and Other Costs." Authoritative accounting guidance under ASC Topic 310, "Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs" amends prior guidance by shortening the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a
premium requiring the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The Company adopted ASC 310 as of January 1, 2019 with no material impact on the Company's statements of operations or financial condition.

The Company reviews the investment securities portfolio on a quarterly basis to monitor its exposure to other-than-temporary impairment. In
evaluating whether a security’s decline in market value is other-than-temporary, management considers the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial condition of the issuer and the underlying obligors,
quality of credit enhancements, volatility of the fair value of the security, the expected recovery period of the security and ratings agency evaluations. In addition, the Company may also evaluate payment structure, whether there are defaulted
payments or expected defaults, prepayment speeds and the value of any underlying collateral.
The following table presents the change in other-than-temporary credit related impairment charges on securities available for sale for
which a portion of the other-than-temporary impairments related to other factors was recognized in other comprehensive loss.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company held one municipal security that had previously been deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The
security was issued by a tax incremental district in a municipality located in Wisconsin. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company received audited financial statements with respect to the municipal issuer that called into question the
ability of the underlying taxing district that issued the security to operate as a going concern. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company's analysis of this security resulted in $77,000 in credit losses charged to earnings with respect
to this municipal security. An additional $17,000 credit loss was charged to earnings during the year ended December 31, 2014 with respect to this security as a sale occurred at a discounted price. As of June 30, 2019, this security had an amortized
cost of $116,000 and total life-to-date impairment of $94,000.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had 11 mortgage-backed securities, 20 government sponsored enterprise issued securities, three municipal
bond securities, and one corporate debt securities which had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer and represents a loss of 4.3% of the aggregate amortized cost. These securities were determined not to be
other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2019. The Company has determined that the decline in fair value of these securities is primarily attributable to an increase in market interest rates compared to the stated rates on these securities and
is not attributable to credit deterioration. As the Company does not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis, these securities are not considered
other-than-temporarily impaired.
The unrealized losses for the other debt security with an unrealized loss greater than 12 months is due to the current slope of the yield
curve. The security currently earns a floating rate that is indexed to the 10 year Treasury interest rate that is reset on a quarterly basis. The Company does not intend to sell nor does it believe that it will be required to sell the security
before recovery of their amortized cost basis.
Deterioration of general economic market conditions could result in the recognition of future other than temporary impairment losses within
the investment portfolio and such amounts could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, there were no sales of securities.

The Company provides several types of loans to its customers, including residential, construction, commercial and consumer loans.
Significant loan concentrations are considered to exist for a financial institution when there are amounts loaned to one borrower or to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or
other conditions. While the Company's credit risks are geographically concentrated in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, there are no concentrations with individual or groups of related borrowers. While the real estate collateralizing these loans is
primarily residential in nature, it ranges from owner-occupied single family homes to large apartment complexes.
Qualifying loans receivable totaling $1.08 billion and $1.01 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are pledged as
collateral against $495.0 million and $430.0 million in outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago ("FHLB") advances under a blanket security agreement at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Certain of the Company's executive officers, directors, employees, and their related interests have loans with the Bank. Loans outstanding
to such parties were approximately $5.3 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. None of these loans were past due or considered impaired as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no loans 90 or more days past due and still accruing interest.

Factors that are important to managing overall credit quality include sound loan underwriting and administration, systematic monitoring of
existing loans and commitments, effective loan review on an ongoing basis, early identification of potential problems, an allowance for loan losses, and sound non-accrual and charge-off policies. Our underwriting policies require an officers' loan
committee review and approval of all loans in excess of $500,000. A member of the credit department, independent of the loan originator, performs a loan review for all loans. Our ability to manage credit risk depends in large part on our ability to
properly identify and manage problem loans. To do so, we maintain a loan review system under which our credit management personnel review non-owner occupied one- to four-family, multi-family, construction and land, and commercial real estate that
individually, or as part of an overall borrower relationship exceed $1.0 million in potential exposure and review commercial loans that individually, or as part of an overall borrower relationship exceed $200,000 in potential exposure. Loans meeting
these criteria are reviewed on an annual basis, or more frequently, if the loan renewal is less than one year. With respect to this review process, management has determined that pass loans include loans that exhibit acceptable financial statements,
cash flow and leverage. Watch loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management's attention, and if left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit. Substandard loans are
considered inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged. These loans generally have a well-defined weakness that may jeopardize liquidation of the debt and are characterized by the
distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Finally, a loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management has determined that all non-accrual loans and loans modified under troubled debt restructurings meet the definition of an impaired loan.
The Company's procedures dictate that an updated valuation must be obtained with respect to underlying collateral at the time a loan is
deemed impaired. Updated valuations may also be obtained upon transfer from loans receivable to real estate owned based upon the age of the prior appraisal, changes in market conditions or known changes to the physical condition of the property.
Estimated fair values are reduced to account for sales commissions, broker fees, unpaid property taxes and additional selling expenses to
arrive at an estimated net realizable value. The adjustment factor is based upon the Company's actual experience with respect to sales of real estate owned over the prior two years. In situations in which we are placing reliance on an appraisal
that is more than one year old, an additional adjustment factor is applied to account for downward market pressure since the date of appraisal. The additional adjustment factor is based upon relevant sales data available for our general operating
market as well as company-specific historical net realizable values as compared to the most recent appraisal prior to disposition.
With respect to multi-family income-producing real estate, appraisals are reviewed and estimated collateral values are adjusted by updating
significant appraisal assumptions to reflect current real estate market conditions. Significant assumptions reviewed and updated include the capitalization rate, rental income and operating expenses. These adjusted assumptions are based upon recent
appraisals received on similar properties as well as on actual experience related to real estate owned and currently under Company management.
The following tables present data on impaired loans at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The difference between a loan’s recorded investment and the unpaid principal balance represents a partial charge-off resulting from a
confirmed loss when the value of the collateral securing the loan is below the loan balance and management’s assessment that the full collection of the loan balance is not likely.

When a loan is considered impaired, interest payments received are treated as interest income on a cash basis as long as the remaining book
value of the loan (i.e., after charge-off of all identified losses) is deemed to be fully collectible. If the remaining book value is not deemed to be fully collectible, all payments received are applied to unpaid principal. Determination as to the
ultimate collectability of the remaining book value is supported by an updated credit department evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment, including consideration of the borrower’s sustained historical repayment
performance and other relevant factors.
The determination as to whether an allowance is required with respect to impaired loans is based upon an analysis of the value of the
underlying collateral and/or the borrower’s intent and ability to make all principal and interest payments in accordance with contractual terms. The evaluation process is subject to the use of significant estimates and actual results could differ
from estimates. This analysis is primarily based upon third party appraisals and/or a discounted cash flow analysis. In those cases in which no allowance has been provided for an impaired loan, the Company has determined that the estimated value of
the underlying collateral exceeds the remaining outstanding balance of the loan. Of the total $8.0 million of impaired loans as of June 30, 2019 for which no allowance has been provided, $1.8 million in net charge-offs have been recorded to reduce
the unpaid principal balance to an amount that is commensurate with the loans’ net realizable value, using the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. To the extent that further deterioration in property values continues, the Company may
have to reevaluate the sufficiency of the collateral servicing these impaired loans which may result in additional provisions to the allowance for loans losses or charge-offs.
At June 30, 2019, total impaired loans included $4.1 million of troubled debt restructurings. Troubled debt restructurings involve granting
concessions to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty by modifying the terms of the loan in an effort to avoid foreclosure. The vast majority of debt restructurings include a modification of terms to allow for an interest only payment and/or
reduction in interest rate. The restructured terms are typically in place for six to twelve months. At December 31, 2018, total impaired loans included $6.7 million of troubled debt restructurings.

At June 30, 2019, $4.1 million in loans had been modified in troubled debt restructurings and $1.1 million of these loans were included in
the non-accrual loan total. The remaining $3.0 million, while meeting the internal requirements for modification in a troubled debt restructuring, were current with respect to payments under their original loan terms at the time of the restructuring
and, therefore, continued to be included with accruing loans. Provided these loans perform in accordance with the modified terms, they will continue to be accounted for on an accrual basis.
All loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring are considered to be impaired. As such, an analysis has been performed
with respect to all of these loans to determine the need for a valuation reserve. When a loan is expected to perform in accordance with the restructured terms and ultimately return to and perform under contract terms, a valuation allowance is
established for an amount equal to the excess of the present value of the expected future cash flows under the original contract terms as compared with the modified terms, including an estimated default rate. When there is doubt as to the borrower’s
ability to perform under the restructured terms or ultimately return to and perform under market terms, a valuation allowance is established equal to the impairment when the carrying amount exceeds fair value of the underlying collateral. As a result
of the impairment analysis, a $9,000 valuation allowance has been established as of June 30, 2019 with respect to the $4.1 million in troubled debt restructurings. As of December 31, 2018, a $67,000 valuation allowance had been established with
respect to the $6.7 million in troubled debt restructurings.
After a troubled debt restructuring reverts to market terms, a minimum of six consecutive contractual payments must be received prior to
consideration for a return to accrual status. If an updated credit department review indicates no other evidence of elevated credit risk, the loan is returned to accrual status at that time.

The short-term repurchase agreement represents the outstanding portion of a total $35.0 million commitment with one unrelated bank. The
short-term repurchase agreement is utilized by Waterstone Mortgage Corporation to finance loans originated for sale. This agreement is secured by the underlying loans being financed. Related interest rates are based upon the note rate associated
with the loans being financed. The short-term repurchase agreement had a $23.7 million balance at June 30, 2019 and a $5.0 million balance at December 31, 2018.
The $75.0 million in advances due in 2027 consists of one $25.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 1.23% with a FHLB single call option
in August 2019 and one $50.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 1.73% with a FHLB single call option in December 2019.
The $255.0 million in advances due in 2028 consists of one $25.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 2.16% with a FHLB single call option
in March 2020, two advances totaling $55.0 million with a fixed rate of 2.27% and with a FHLB single call option in March 2021, one advance of $25.0 million with a fixed rate of 2.40% and with a FHLB single call option in May 2020, two advances
totaling $50.0 million with fixed rates of 2.34% and 2.48% and with a FHLB single call option in May 2021, one advance of $50.0 million with a fixed rate of 2.34% and with a FHLB quarterly call option beginning in June 2020, and one advance of $50.0
million with a fixed rate of 2.57% and with a FHLB quarterly call option beginning in September 2020.
The $165.0 million in advances due in 2029 consists of one $50.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 1.98% with a FHLB quarterly call
option in May 2022, one $50.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 1.75% with a FHLB quarterly call option in August 2021, one $25.0 million advance with a fixed rate of 1.52% with a FHLB quarterly call option in November 2020, and one advance of
$40.0 million with a fixed rate of 1.02% and with a FHLB quarterly call option beginning in September 2019.
The Company selects loans that meet underwriting criteria established by the FHLB as collateral for outstanding advances. The Company’s
borrowings from the FHLB are limited to 80% of the carrying value of unencumbered one- to four-family mortgage loans, 75% of the carrying value of multi-family loans and 64% of the carrying value of home equity loans. In addition, these advances were
collateralized by FHLB stock of $22.3 million at June 30, 2019 and $19.4 million at December 31, 2018. In the event of prepayment, the Company is obligated to pay all remaining contractual interest on the advance.

Note 8 – Regulatory Capital
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements, or overall financial performance deemed by the regulators to be inadequate, can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's and
Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company's and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.
The Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") issued final rules implementing the Basel III regulatory
capital framework and related Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act changes. The rules revise minimum capital requirements and adjust prompt corrective action thresholds. The final rules revise the regulatory capital elements, add
a new common equity Tier I capital ratio, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio requirements and implement a new capital conservation buffer. The rules also permit certain banking organizations to retain, through a one-time election, the existing
treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company and the Bank have made the election to retain the existing treatment for accumulated other comprehensive income. The final rules took effect for the Company and the Bank on January 1,
2015, subject to a transition period for certain parts of the rules.
In addition, as a result of the legislation, the federal banking agencies are required to develop a “Community Bank Leverage Ratio” (the
ratio of a bank’s tangible equity capital to average total consolidated assets) for financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion. A “qualifying community bank” that exceeds this ratio will be deemed to be in compliance with all other
capital and leverage requirements, including the capital requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under Prompt Corrective Action statutes. The federal banking agencies may consider a financial institution’s risk profile when evaluating
whether it qualifies as a community bank for purposes of the capital ratio requirement. The federal banking agencies must set the minimum capital for the new Community Bank Leverage Ratio at not less than 8% and not more than 10% and have proposed 9%
as the minimum capital for the ratio. A financial institution can elect to be subject to this new definition.
The table below includes the regulatory capital ratio requirements that became effective on January 1, 2015. Beginning in 2016, an
additional capital conservation buffer was added to the minimum requirements for capital adequacy purposes, subject to a three year phase-in period. The capital conservation buffer was fully phased-in as of January 1, 2019 at 2.5%. A banking
organization with a conservation buffer of less than 2.5% will be subject to limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. At June 30, 2019, the ratios for the
Company and the Bank are sufficient to meet the fully phased-in conservation buffer.
The actual and required capital amounts and ratios for the Bank as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are presented in the table below:

Note 9 – Income Taxes
Income tax expense decreased $80,000, or 1.5%, to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5.2 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2018. Income tax expense was recognized on the statement of income during the six months ended June 30, 2019 at an effective rate of 24.0% of pretax income compared to 24.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2018. During
the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a benefit of approximately $100,000 related to stock awards exercised compared to a benefit of $137,000 recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Note 10 – Offsetting of Assets and Liabilities
The Company enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities.
In addition, the Company enters into agreements under which it sells loans held for sale subject to an obligation to repurchase the same loans. Under these arrangements, the Company may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain
effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Company to repurchase the assets. As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing arrangements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a
sale and subsequent repurchase of assets. The obligation to repurchase the assets is reflected as a liability in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition, while the securities and loans held for sale underlying the repurchase
agreements remain in the respective investment securities and loans held for sale asset accounts. In other words, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities or loans held for sale assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities.
The Company's repurchase agreement is subject to master netting agreements, which sets forth the rights and obligations for repurchase and offset. Under the master netting agreement, the Company is entitled to set off the collateral placed with a
single counterparty against obligations owed to that counterparty.
The following table presents the liabilities subject to an enforceable master netting agreement as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Note 11– Commitments, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, and Contingent Liabilities
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of
its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the
consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

(1) Commitments for loans are extended to customers for up to 90 days after which they
expire. Excludes commitments to originate loans held for sale, which are discussed in the following footnote.
(2) Unused portions of home equity loans are available to the borrower for up to 10 years.
(3) Unused portions of construction loans are available to the borrower for up to one year.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements of the Company. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on
management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral obtained generally consists of mortgages on the underlying real estate.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company holds mortgages on the underlying real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which
collateral is deemed necessary.
The Company has determined that there are no probable losses related to commitments to extend credit or the standby letters of credit as of
June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
In the normal course of business, the Company, or its subsidiaries, are involved in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of
management, any liability resulting from pending proceedings would not be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Herrington et al. v. Waterstone Mortgage Corporation
Waterstone Mortgage Corporation was a defendant in a class action lawsuit that was filed in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Wisconsin and subsequently compelled to arbitration before the American Arbitration Association. The plaintiff class alleged that Waterstone Mortgage Corporation violated certain provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
and failed to pay loan officers consistent with their employment agreements. On July 5, 2017, the arbitrator issued a Final Award finding Waterstone Mortgage Corporation liable for unpaid minimum wages, overtime, unreimbursed business expenses, and
liquidated damages under the FLSA. On December 8, 2017, the District Court confirmed the award in large part, and entered a judgment against Waterstone in the amount of $7,267,919 in damages to Claimants, $3,298,851 in attorney fees and costs, and a
$20,000 incentive fee to Plaintiff Herrington, plus post-judgment interest. On February 12, 2018, the District Court awarded post-arbitration fees and costs of approximately $98,000. The judgment was appealed by Waterstone to the Seventh Circuit
Court of Appeals, where oral argument was held on May 29, 2018. On October 22, 2018, the Seventh Circuit issued a ruling vacating the District Court's order enforcing the arbitration award. If the District Court determined the agreement only allows
for individual arbitration, the award would be vacated and the case sent to individual arbitration for a new proceeding. If the District Court determined the arbitration agreement nevertheless allows for collective arbitration, the District Court
could have confirmed the prior award.
On December 28, 2018, Plaintiff filed a post-remand brief. In it, Plaintiff asked the District Court to reaffirm the arbitration award
entered by the arbitrator in full. Alternatively, she asked the Court to affirm her individual damage award and the awards of 123 other opt-ins whose arbitration agreements permit joinder or class actions. Lastly, Plaintiff asked the District Court
to have 154 opt-ins intervene and file an amended complaint for individual relief in court. Waterstone opposed the motion on January 28, 2019, and asked the District Court to vacate the prior Final Award in full because Herrington’s arbitration
agreement only allowed for individual arbitration. Plaintiff filed its reply on February 14, 2019.
On April 25, 2019, the District Court held that Plaintiff’s claims must be resolved through single-plaintiff arbitration. As a result, it
vacated the July 5, 2017 arbitration award in its entirety, and closed the case.
In May 2019, Herrington and approximately 90 of the prior Claimants filed new demands in arbitration asserting similar claims. Waterstone
is in the process of responding to those demands. Waterstone will continue to vigorously defend its interests in these matters and does not believe a loss is probable at this time.

Note 12 – Derivative Financial Instruments
In connection with its mortgage banking activities, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments as part of its strategy to
manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. Mortgage banking derivatives include interest rate lock commitments provided to customers to fund mortgage loans to be sold in the secondary market and forward commitments for the future delivery of
such loans to third party investors. It is the Company’s practice to enter into forward commitments for the future delivery of residential mortgage loans when interest rate lock commitments are entered into in order to economically hedge the effect
of future changes in interest rates on its commitments to fund the loans as well as on its portfolio of mortgage loans held for sale. The Company’s mortgage banking derivatives have not been designated as hedge relationships. These instruments are
used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of ASC 815. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are
recorded as a component of mortgage banking income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes.
Forward commitments to sell mortgage loans represent commitments obtained by the Company from a secondary market agency to purchase
mortgages from the Company at specified interest rates and within specified periods of time. Commitments to sell loans are made to mitigate interest rate risk on interest rate lock commitments to originate loans and loans held for sale. At June 30,
2019, the Company had forward commitments to sell mortgage loans with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $481.0 million and interest rate lock commitments with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $277.4 million. The fair value
of the forward commitments to sell mortgage loans at June 30, 2019 included a loss of $1.0 million that is reported as a component of other liabilities on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition. The fair value of the interest
rate locks at June 30, 2019 included a gain of $3.3 million that is reported as a component of other assets on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition. At December 31, 2018, the Company had forward commitments to sell mortgage
loans with an aggregate notional amount of $276.3 million and interest rate lock commitments with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $164.9 million. The fair value of the forward commitments to sell mortgage loans at December 31, 2018
included a loss of $1.1 million that is reported as a component of other liabilities on the Company's consolidated statement of financial condition. The fair value of the interest rate locks at December 31, 2018 included a gain of $2.0 million that
is reported as a component of other assets on the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition.
In determining the fair value of its derivative loan commitments, the Company considers the value that would be generated by the loan
arising from exercise of the loan commitment when sold in the secondary mortgage market. That value includes the price that the loan is expected to be sold for in the secondary mortgage market. The fair value of these commitments is recorded on the
consolidated statements of financial condition with the changes in fair value recorded as a component of mortgage banking income.
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's mortgage banking derivatives, including interest
rate lock commitments, is the loan pull through rate. This represents the percentage of loans currently in a lock position which the Company estimates will ultimately close. Generally, the fair value of an interest rate lock commitment will be
positively (negatively) impacted when the prevailing interest rate is lower (higher) than the interest rate lock commitment. Generally, an increase in the pull through rate will result in the fair value of the interest rate lock increasing when in a
gain position, or decreasing when in a loss position. The pull through rate is largely dependent on the loan processing stage that a loan is currently in and the change in prevailing interest rates from the time of the rate lock. The pull through
rate is computed using historical data and the ratio is periodically reviewed by the Company.
Residential mortgage loans sold to others are predominantly conventional residential first lien mortgages. The Company’s agreements to sell
residential mortgage loans in the normal course of business usually require certain representations and warranties on the underlying loans sold related to credit information, loan documentation and collateral, which if subsequently are untrue or
breached, could require the Company to repurchase certain loans affected. The Company has only been required to make insignificant repurchases as a result of breaches of these representations and warranties. The Company’s agreements to sell
residential mortgage loans also contain limited recourse provisions. The recourse provisions are limited in that the recourse provision ends after certain payment criteria have been met. With respect to these loans, repurchase could be required if
defined delinquency issues arose during the limited recourse period. Given that the underlying loans delivered to buyers are predominantly conventional first lien mortgages and that historical experience shows negligible losses and insignificant
repurchase activity, management believes that losses and repurchases under the limited recourse provisions will continue to be insignificant.
Note 13 – Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share are computed using the two-class method. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common
shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the dilutive
effect of all potential common shares.
Presented below are the calculations for basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. This accounting standard applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements. The standard also emphasizes that fair value (i.e.,
the price that would be received in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date), among other things, is based on exit price versus entry price, should include assumptions about risk such as
nonperformance risk in liability fair values, and is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. When considering the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, this accounting standard
establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy)
and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
The fair value hierarchy prioritizes inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels.
Level 1 inputs - In general, fair
values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
Level 2 inputs - Fair values
determined by Level 2 inputs use inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in
active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets where there are few transactions and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that
are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
Level 3 inputs - Level 3 inputs are
unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a
particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The following table presents information about our assets recorded in our consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair
value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value.

The following summarizes the valuation techniques for assets recorded in our consolidated statements of financial condition at their fair
value on a recurring basis:
Available-for-sale securities – The Company’s investment securities classified as available for sale include: mortgage-backed securities,
collateralized mortgage obligations, government sponsored enterprise bonds, municipal securities and other debt securities. The fair value of mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and government sponsored enterprise bonds
are determined by a third party valuation source using observable market data utilizing a matrix or multi-dimensional relational pricing model. Standard inputs to these models include observable market data such as benchmark yields, reported trades,
broker quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, prepayment models and bid/offer market data. For securities with an early redemption feature, an option adjusted spread model is utilized to adjust the issuer spread. These model and matrix
measurements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of municipal and other debt securities is determined by a third party valuation source using observable market data utilizing a multi-dimensional relational pricing
model. Standard inputs to this model include observable market data such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, rating updates and issuer spreads. These model measurements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The
change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the statement of comprehensive income.
Loans held for sale – The Company carries loans held for sale at fair value under the fair value option model. Fair value is generally
determined by estimating a gross premium or discount, which is derived from pricing currently observable in the secondary market, principally from observable prices for forward sale commitments. Loans held-for-sale are considered to be Level 2 in the
fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques. The change in fair value is recorded through an adjustment to the statement of income.
Mortgage banking derivatives - Mortgage banking derivatives include interest rate lock commitments to originate residential loans held for
sale to individual customers and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to various investors. The Company utilizes a valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage
loans held for sale, which includes applying a pull through rate based upon historical experience and the current interest rate environment and then multiplying by quoted investor prices. The Company also utilizes a valuation model to estimate the
fair value of its forward commitments to sell residential loans, which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing available. While there are Level 2 and 3 inputs used in the
valuation models, the Company has determined that one or more of the inputs significant in the valuation of both of the mortgage banking derivatives fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The change in fair value is recorded through an
adjustment to the statement of income.
The table below presents reconciliation for all assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3) during 2019 and 2018.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such
instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
Fair value information about financial instruments follows, whether or not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial
condition, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by
the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate
settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments consist of the following:

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in determining its fair value disclosures for financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount reported in the consolidated statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate
of fair value.
Securities
The fair value of securities is generally determined by a third party valuation source using observable market data utilizing a matrix or
multi-dimensional relational pricing model. Standard inputs to these models include observable market data such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and bid/offer market data. For securities with
an early redemption feature, an option adjusted spread model is utilized to adjust the issuer spread. Prepayment models are used for mortgage related securities with prepayment features.
Loans Held for Sale
Fair value is estimated using the prices of the Company’s existing commitments to sell such loans and/or the quoted market price for
commitments to sell similar loans.
Loans Receivable
The fair value estimation process for the loan portfolio uses an exit price concept and reflects discounts the Company believes are
consistent with discounts in the market place. Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as one- to four-family, multi-family, home equity, construction and land, commercial real
estate, commercial, and other consumer. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for similar maturities. The
fair value analysis also includes other assumptions to estimate fair value, intended to approximate those a market participant would use in an orderly transaction, with adjustments for discount rates, interest rates, liquidity, and credit spreads, as
appropriate.
- 31 -
FHLB Stock
For FHLB stock, the carrying amount is the amount at which shares can be redeemed with the FHLB and is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Deposits and Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes
The fair values for interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, savings accounts, and money market
accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies
interest rates currently being offered on certificates of similar remaining maturities to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities of the outstanding certificates of deposit. The advance payments by borrowers for taxes are equal to their
carrying amounts at the reporting date.
Borrowings
Fair values for borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies current interest rates to estimated future
cash flows of the borrowings.
Accrued Interest Payable and Accrued Interest Receivable
For accrued interest payable and accrued interest receivable, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are generally not marketable. Furthermore, interest rates on any amounts drawn
under such commitments would be generally established at market rates at the time of the draw. Fair values for the Company’s commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar
agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements, the counterparty’s credit standing, and discounted cash flow analyses. The fair value of the Company’s commitments to extend credit was not material at June 30, 2019 and December
31, 2018.
Mortgage Banking Derivative Assets and Liabilities
Mortgage banking derivatives include interest rate lock commitments to originate residential loans held for sale to individual customers
and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to various investors. The Company relies on a valuation model to estimate the fair value of its interest rate lock commitments to originate residential mortgage loans held for sale, which
includes applying a pull through rate based upon historical experience and the current interest rate environment, and then multiplying by quoted investor prices. The Company also relies on a valuation model to estimate the fair value of its forward
commitments to sell residential loans, which includes matching specific terms and maturities of the forward commitments against applicable investor pricing available. On the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition, instruments that
have a positive fair value are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, and those instruments that have a negative fair value are included in other liabilities.
- 32 -
Note 15 – Segment Reporting
Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be provided about reportable operating segments, considering a "management
approach" concept as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management approach is based on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing
performance. Consequently, the segments are evident from the structure of the enterprise's internal organization, focusing on financial information that an enterprise's chief operating decision-makers use to make decisions about the enterprise's
operating matters.
The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: community banking and mortgage banking. The Company's operating segments
are presented based on its management structure and management accounting practices. The structure and practices are specific to the Company and therefore, the financial results of the Company's business segments are not necessarily comparable with
similar information for other financial institutions.
Community Banking

Note 16 – Leases
The Company has entered into operating lease agreements for two of its community banking branch locations, all of its mortgage banking
office locations, and some of its office equipment. The leases have fixed terms defined regarding the payments and length. The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e., leases with initial terms of twelve months or less), or equipment
leases (deemed immaterial) on the consolidated statements of financial condition. Some of the leases included options to extend the leases. These options are reviewed and factored into the length of the lease if the option is expected to be
extended. Leases did not contain an implicit rate; therefore, the Company used the incremental borrowing rates for the discount rate. There were no sale and leaseback transactions, leveraged leases, or lease transactions with related parties during
the six months ended June 30, 2019.
At June 30, 2019, the Company had lease liabilities totaling $9.6 million and right-of-use assets totaling $9.1 million related to these
leases. Lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are reflected in other liabilities and other assets, respectively, on the consolidated statements of financial condition.
The cost components of our operating leases were as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

Overview
The following discussion and analysis is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company’s
financial condition and results of operations. It is intended to complement the unaudited consolidated financial statements, footnotes, and supplemental financial data appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and should be read in
conjunction therewith. The detailed discussion in the sections below focuses on the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 and the financial condition as of June 30, 2019 compared to the financial condition as
of December 31, 2018.
As described in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements, we have two reportable segments: community banking and
mortgage banking. The community banking segment provides consumer and business banking products and services to customers primarily within Southeastern Wisconsin along with a loan production office in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Consumer products include
loan products, deposit products, and personal investment services. Business banking products include loans for working capital, inventory and general corporate use, commercial real estate construction loans, and deposit accounts. The mortgage
banking segment, which is conducted by offices in 24 states through Waterstone Mortgage Corporation, consists of originating residential mortgage loans primarily for sale in the secondary market.
Our community banking segment generates the significant majority of our consolidated net interest income and requires
the significant majority of our provision for loan losses. Our mortgage banking segment generates the significant majority of our noninterest income and a majority of our noninterest expenses. We have provided below a discussion of the material
results of operations for each segment on a separate basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, which focuses on noninterest income and noninterest expenses. We have also provided a discussion of the consolidated operations of
the Company, which includes the consolidated operations of the Bank and Waterstone Mortgage Corporation, for the same periods.
Comparison of Community Banking Segment Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Net income totaled $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Net interest income decreased $217,000 to $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Net interest income decreased due to an increase in deposits expense and the cost of
borrowings as deposits and borrowings repriced at higher rates. Partially offseting the increase in interest expense, interest income increased primarily due to an increase in average loan balances and loan rates. There was no provision for loan
losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a negative provision of $250,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Total noninterest income decreased $58,000 due primarily to decreases in loan and deposit fees. The loan fees decreased primarily due to
fewer loan prepayments and other loan fees. Cash surrender value of life insurance increased as the earnings rate improved year over year. Other income increased primarily due to wealth management income.
Compensation, payroll taxes, and other employee benefits expense increased $370,000 to $4.7 million due primarily to an increase in health
insurance expense and salaries expense. Occupancy, office furniture, and equipment increased $131,000 due primarily to increased computer and grounds maintenance expense. Data processing and real estate owned expense increased primarily from new
technology investments and less gains on sales of real estate owned properties. Advertising, communications, professional fees decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Other noninterest expense decreased resulting from a decrease in loan
costs offset by higher regulatory exam fees and insurance expense.
Comparison of Mortgage Banking Segment Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Net income totaled $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
We originated $793.3 million in mortgage loans held for sale during the three months ended June 30, 2019, which was an increase of $72.1 million, or 10.0%, from the $721.2 million originated during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase
in loan production volume was driven by an 84.3% increase in refinance products as mortgage rates decreased and a 4.1% increase in mortgage purchase products. Total mortgage banking noninterest income increased $1.8 million, or 5.6%, to $34.4 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $32.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in mortgage banking noninterest income was related to a 10.0% increase in volume offset by a 4.7% decrease in gross
margin on loans sold for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to June 30, 2018. Gross margin on loans sold is the ratio of mortgage banking income (excluding the change in interest rate lock fair value) divided by total loan originations.
The gross margin on loans sold compression reflects industry dynamics, as price-based competition has escalated to maintain market share.
Our overall margin can be affected by the mix of both loan type (conventional loans versus governmental) and loan purpose (purchase versus
refinance). Conventional loans include loans that conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac standards, whereas governmental loans are those loans guaranteed by the federal government, such as a Federal Housing Authority or U.S. Department of Agriculture
loan. Loans originated for the purchase of a residential property, which generally yield a higher margin than loans originated for refinancing existing loans, comprised 87.6% of total originations during the three months ended June 30, 2019,
compared to 92.6% of total originations during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The mix of loan type trended towards more conventional loans and less governmental loans; with conventional loans and governmental loans comprising 70.2% and 29.8%
of all loan originations, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 68.1% and 31.9% of all loan originations, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits increased $501,000, or 2.3%, to $22.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 2019 compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in compensation expense was primarily a result of the increase in commission expense as fundings increased and branch manager pay as branches were more
profitable. Offsetting those increases for total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, salaries decreased as underperforming branches closed over the past year. Occupancy, office furniture, and equipment expense decreased due to
lower computer supplies expense. Advertising, communications, loan processing expense, and other noninterest expenses decreased. Other noninterest expense decreased primarily due to lower provision for branch losses. Data processing and professional
fees increased due primarily to new contracts and ongoing legal cases.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods
indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net
column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to
volume.

______________
(1) Interest income includes net deferred loan fee amortization income of $192,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(2) Non-accrual loans have been included in average loans receivable balance.
(3) Includes available for sale securities. Average balance of available for sale securities is based on amortized historical cost.
(4) Interest
income from tax exempt securities is computed on a taxable equivalent basis using a tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018.
Net interest income decreased $739,000, or 5.4%, to $13.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $13.7 million
during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
●
|
Interest income on loans increased $1.3 million due primarily to an increase of $100.7 million, or 6.9%, in average loans along
with a five basis point increase in average yield on loans. The increase in average loan balance was driven by a $47.3 million, or 3.6%, increase in the average balance of loans held in portfolio and by an increase of $53.4 million, or 43.6%,
in the average balance of loans held for sale.
|
|
●
|
Interest income from mortgage-related securities increased $120,000 year over year primarily as the yield increased 33 basis
points. Additionally, the average balance increased $4.7 million.
|
|
●
|
Interest income from other interest-earning assets (comprised of debt securities, federal funds sold and short-term investments)
increased $104,000 due to a 38 basis point increase in the average yield. The increase in average yield was driven by increases in the Federal Funds interest rate along with the increase in the dividend paid by the FHLB on its stock. The
average balance decreased $12.3 million to $180.1 million due to less cash on hand along with less municipal securities due to maturities throughout the past 12 months were not replaced due to market conditions.
|
|
●
|
Interest expense on time deposits increased $1.4 million, or 55.9%, primarily due to a 73 basis point increase of average cost of
time deposits, as maturing time deposits have repriced or have been replaced at a higher rate in the current competitive market. In addition to the increase in cost of time deposits, the average balance of time deposits increased $29.0
million compared to the prior year period.
|
|
●
|
Interest expense on money market and savings accounts increased $193,000 due primarily to a 36 basis point increase in average cost
of money market and savings accounts along with an increase in average balance of $27.0 million.
|
|
●
|
Interest expense on borrowings increased $655,000, or 33.9%, due to an increase in the average cost of borrowings that resulted
from the maturity and replacement of fixed-rate borrowings since the beginning of the prior year. The average cost of borrowings totaled 2.06% during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to 1.74% during the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
In addition to the increase in rate, average borrowing volume increased $59.9 million to $504.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Provision for Loan Losses
Our provision for loan losses amounted to a provision of $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a negative provision
of $220,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The provision for loan losses was for the mortgage banking segment. We had no provision for loan losses at the community banking segment due to a continued improvement in the overall risk profile
of the loan portfolio.
The provision is primarily a function of the Company's reserving methodology and assessments of certain quantitative and qualitative
factors which are used to determine an appropriate allowance for loan losses for the period. See further discussion regarding the allowance for loan losses in the "Asset Quality" section for an analysis of charge-offs, nonperforming assets, specific
reserves and additional provisions and the "Allowance for Loan Losses" section.

Total noninterest income increased $1.9 million, or 5.6%, to $35.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $33.3
million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in mortgage banking income along with an increase in cash surrender value of life insurance. Offsetting those increases, service charges on loans
and deposits and other noninterest income categories decreased.
●
|
The increase in mortgage banking income was primarily the result of an increase in loan origination volume. Total loan origination
volume on a consolidated basis increased $77.3 million, or 11.0%, to $778.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $701.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Gross margin on loans sold decreased 4.7%
at the mortgage banking segment. Gross margin on loans sold is the ratio of mortgage banking income (excluding the change in interest rate lock fair value) divided by total loan originations. See "Comparison of Mortgage Banking Segment
Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018" above for additional discussion of the increase in mortgage banking income.
|
|
●
|
Service charges on loans and deposits decreased primarily due to an decrease in loan prepayment fees and other loan fees.
|
|
●
|
The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was due primarily to an increase in earnings rate.
|
|
●
|
The $76,000 decrease in other noninterest income was due primarily to an decrease in mortgage servicing fee income offset by a
slight increase in wealth management revenue.

●
|
Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits expense at our mortgage banking segment increased $501,000, or 2.3%, to
$22.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in compensation expense was primarily a result of an increase in commission expense as fundings increased and branch manager pay as branches were more profitable.
Offsetting those increases for total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, salaries decreased as underperforming branches closed and health insurance expense decreased as claims declined.
|
|
●
|
Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits expense at the community banking segment increased $370,000, or 8.6%, to
$4.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in health insurance expense as claims increased and salaries expense due to annual raises.
|
|
●
|
Occupancy, office furniture and equipment expense at the mortgage banking segment decreased $56,000 to $1.7 million during the
three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily resulting from lower computer expenses offset by higher rent expense.
|
|
●
|
Occupancy, office furniture and equipment expense at the community banking segment increased $131,000 to $944,000 during the three
months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was due primarily to branch remodels of several of the locations and grounds maintenance being completed at the new branches.
|
|
●
|
Advertising expense decreased $37,000, or 3.7%, to $963,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019. This was due to marketing
decreases at the mortgage banking segment in an effort to manage expenses and the community banking segment reduced spending on print and other media marketing.
|
|
●
|
Data processing expense increased $246,000, or 39.5%, to $869,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019. This was primarily
due to new contracts at both the community banking and mortgage banking segments.
|
|
●
|
Professional fees increased $142,000, or 21.9%, to $789,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019. This was primarily due to
an increase in legal expenses at the mortgage banking segment for ongoing litigation.
|
|
●
|
Real estate owned expense increased $145,000, resulting in $19,000 of expense during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared
to $126,000 of income during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Property management expense (other than gains/losses) decreased $52,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 as there
are fewer properties to manage. Net gains on sales of real estate owned decreased $241,000 to $8,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $249,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Real estate owned writedowns
decreased $44,000 as there were no writedowns for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $44,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.
|
|
●
|
Loan processing expense decreased $25,000, or 2.8%, to $879,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019. This was primarily due
to a decrease in appraisal and other loan fees at the mortgage banking segment.
|
|
●
|
Other noninterest expense decreased $686,000 to $1.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was at the
mortgage banking segment and primarily resulted from decreased provision for branch losses as profitability improved and lower hiring costs. In addition, other noninterest expenses decreased at the community banking segment due primarily to
decreases in loan costs offset by higher regulatory fees and insurance expense.
|
Income Taxes
Income tax expense increased $42,000, or 1.4%, to $3.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018. Income tax
expense was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019 at an effective rate of 24.6% compared to an effective rate of 24.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a

Comparison of Community Banking Segment for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Net income decreased $800,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 for a total of $11.6 million compared to net income of $12.4 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net interest income decreased $389,000 to $26.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $27.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net interest income decreased due to an
increase in deposits expense and the cost of borrowings as deposits and borrowings repriced at higher rates. Partially offseting the increase in interest expense, interest income increased primarily due to an increase in average loan balances and
loan rates.
Provision for loan losses was a negative provision of $700,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to a negative provision of
$1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Noninterest income decreased $116,000 primarily due to a decrease in loan and deposit fees. The loan fees decreased primarily due to fewer
loan prepayments and other loan fees. Additionally, other income slighly decreased primarily due to a decrease in rental income. Cash surrender value of life insurance increased as the earnings rate improved year over year.
Compensation, payroll taxes, and other employee benefits expense increased $238,000 due primarily to an increase in health insurance,
variable compensation, and salaries expense offset by lower stock based compensation expenses. Occupancy, office furniture, and equipment increased $277,000 due primarily to increased computer supplies, furniture and equipment, and maintenance
expense. Real estate owned expense decreased as there was a decrease in writedowns and net management expenses offset by a decrease in gain on sale of real estate owned. Advertising, data processing, and professional fees increased for the six months
ended June 30, 2019. Other noninterest expense decreased $319,000 primarily from a decrease in loan origination expenses.
Comparison of Mortgage Banking Segment Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
Net income increased $610,000 to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of $4.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2018. Mortgage banking segment noninterest income increased $657,000, or 1.1%, to $57.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $57.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in revenue
was attributable to an increase in loan orgination volume. Loan origination volume increased $57.5 million, or 4.6% to $1.29 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.24 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The
increase in originations was driven by a 3.5% increase in the origination of loans made for the purpose of residential purchases and a 13.9% increase in the origination of mortgage refinance products. Offsetting the increase in origination volume,
gross margin on loans sold decreased 3.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Gross margin on loans sold is the ratio of mortgage banking income (excluding the change in interest rate lock fair
value) divided by total loan originations. The gross margin on loans sold compression reflects industry dynamics, as price-based competition has escalated to maintain market share.
Our overall margin can be affected by the mix of both loan type (conventional loans versus governmental) and loan purpose (purchase versus
refinance). Conventional loans include loans that conform to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac standards, whereas governmental loans are those loans guaranteed by the federal government, such as a Federal Housing Authority or U.S. Department of Agriculture
loan. Our origination efforts continue to be focused on loans made for the purpose of residential purchases, as opposed to mortgage refinance. The percentage of origination volume related to purchase activity decreased slightly to 88.5% from 89.5% of
total originations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The mix of loan type trended towards more conventional loans and less governmental loans; with conventional loans and governmental loans comprising 69.5% and 30.5% of
all loan originations, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 68.5% and 31.5% of all originations, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits increased $320,000, or 0.8%, to $38.6 million for the six months ended June
30, 2019 compared to $38.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in compensation expense was primarily a result of the increase in commission expense as fundings increased and branch manager pay as branches were more
profitable. Offsetting those increases for total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, salaries decreased as underperforming branches closed. Occupancy, office furniture, and equipment expense decreased due to lower computer
supplies expense, communications, and loan processing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Advertising and data processing expenses increased. Other noninterest expenses decreased primarily due to lower branch loss reserves as
underperforming branches were closed as well as lower hiring, training, and recruiting expenses.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods
indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net
column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to
volume.

(1) Interest income includes net deferred loan fee amortization income of $322,000 and $384,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
(2) Non-accrual loans have been included in average loans receivable balance.
(3) Includes available for sale securities. Average balance of available for sale securities is based on amortized historical cost.
(4) Interest income from tax exempt securities is computed on a taxable equivalent basis using a
tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Net interest income decreased $944,000, or 3.5%, to $25.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $26.9 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
●
|
Interest income on loans increased $3.0 million, or 9.2%, due to an increase in average balance of $90.4 million and a 13 basis
point increase in average yield on loans. The increase in average loan balance was driven by a $63.0 million, or 4.8%, increase in the average balance of loans held in portfolio and an increase in the average balance of loans held for sale
of $27.3 million, or 24.5%.
|
|
●
|
Interest income from mortgage related securities increased $241,000 year over year primarily as the yield increased 36 basis
points. Additionally, the average balance increased $3.3 million.
|
|
●
|
Interest income from other interest-earning assets (comprised of debt securities, federal funds sold and short-term investments)
increased $546,000 due to a 50 basis point increase in the average yield. The increase in average yield was driven by increases in the Federal Funds interest rate along with the increase in the dividend paid by the FHLB on its stock. The
average balance increased $8.1 million to $187.4 million due to higher cash on hand offset by lower municipal securities due to maturities throughout the past 12 months were not replaced due to market conditions.
|
|
●
|
Interest expense on time deposits increased $2.9 million primarily due to a 74 basis point increase in the average cost of time
deposits, as maturing time deposits have repriced, or have been replaced at a higher rate in the current competitive market. Along with the increase in rate, the average balance of time deposits increased $33.4 million compared to the prior
year period.
|
|
●
|
Interest expense on money market and savings accounts increased $378,000 due primarily to a 38 basis point increase in rate and an
increase of $25.0 million in average balance.
|
|
●
|
Interest expense on borrowings increased $1.4 million due to an increase in the average cost of borrowings that resulted from the
maturity and replacement of fixed-rate borrowings since the beginning of the prior year. The average cost of borrowings totaled 2.06% during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 1.68% during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Average volume increased $59.8 million to fund loans held for sale at the mortgage banking segment.

Provision for Loan Losses
Our provision for loan losses amounted to a negative provision of $650,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a
negative provision of $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The negative provision reflects a continued improvement in the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio.
The provision is primarily a function of the Company's reserving methodology and assessments of certain quantitative and qualitative
factors which are used to determine an appropriate allowance for loan losses for the period. See further discussion regarding the allowance for loan losses in the "Asset Quality" section for an analysis of charge-offs, nonperforming assets, specific
reserves and additional provisions and the "Allowance for Loan Losses" section.

Total noninterest income increased $946,000, or 1.6%, to $59.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to
$58.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in mortgage banking income offset by decreases in service charges on loans and deposits and other noninterest income.
●
|
The $1.2 million increase in mortgage banking income was primarily the result of an increase in loan origination volume. Total
loan origination volume on a consolidated basis increased $79.4 million, or 6.7%, to $1.27 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.19 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Gross margin on loans sold
decreased 3.4% at the mortgage banking segment. Gross margin on loans sold is the ratio of mortgage banking income (excluding the change in interest rate lock fair value) divided by total loan originations. See "Comparison of Mortgage Banking
Segment Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018" above, for additional discussion of the decrease in mortgage banking income.
|
|
●
|
The decrease in service charges on loans and deposits was related to a decrease in loan prepayment and other loan fees.
|
|
●
|
The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance was due primarily to an increase in earnings rate.
|
|
●
|
The $170,000 decrease in other noninterest income was due primarily to an decrease in mortgage servicing fee income along with
decrease in rental income and wealth management revenue.

million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
●
|
Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefit expense at our mortgage banking segment increased $320,000, or 0.8%, to
$38.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in compensation expense was primarily a result of the increase in commission expense as fundings increased and branch manager pay increased as branches were more profitable.
Offsetting those increases for total compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits, salaries decreased as underperforming branches were closed.
|
|
●
|
Compensation, payroll taxes and other employee benefits expense at the community banking segment increased $238,000, or 2.6%, to
$9.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in health insurance, variable compensation, and salaries expense offset by lower stock based compensation expenses.
|
|
●
|
Occupancy, office furniture and equipment expense at the mortgage banking segment decreased $65,000 to $3.5 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2019, resulting from lower computer supplies expense offset by slightly higher rent expense.
|
|
●
|
Occupancy, office furniture and equipment expense at the community banking segment increased $277,000 to $1.9 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily related to increased computer supplies and furniture and equipment for the branch remodels and maintenance expense completed at the new branches.
|
|
●
|
Advertising expense increased as a result of slightly more marketing spending at both the community banking and mortgage banking
segments to attract customers.
|
|
●
|
Data processing expense increased $390,000, or 31.3%, to $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. This was primarily
due to increases at the community banking and mortgage banking segments for new contracts.
|
|
●
|
Professional fees expense increased primarily as a result of an increase in consulting and accounting expense at the community
banking segment and an increase in legal fees at the mortgage banking segment for ongoing litigation.

Loan processing expense decreased $208,000, or 11.0%, to $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was
due to lower credit report fees and other loan fees.

Net real estate owned expense decreased $140,000, to $51,000 of expense during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to
$191,000 of expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Real estate owned writedowns decreased $300,000 as there were no writedowns for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Property management expense (other than gains/losses) decreased $124,000 to $71,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net gains on sales of real estate owned decreased $284,000 to
$20,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $304,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

●
|
Other noninterest expense decreased $992,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to lower expenses at both the community
banking and mortgage banking segments. The community banking segment decreased due primarily to decreases in loan origination expenses. The mortgage banking segment resulted primarily from lower branch loss reserves as underperforming
branches were closed over the past year as well as lower hiring, training, and recruiting expenses.

Income Taxes
Income tax expense decreased $80,000, or 1.5%, to $5.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $5.2 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2018. Income tax expense was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 at an effective rate of 24.0% compared to 24.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the
Company recognized a benefit of approximately $100,000 related to stock awards exercised compared to a benefit of $137,000 recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018
Total Assets – Total assets increased by $99.8 million, or 5.2%, to $2.02 billion at June 30, 2019 from $1.92 billion at December 31, 2018. The increase in total
assets primarily reflects an increase in loans held for sale and the right of use assets partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable, and securities available for sale. The increase was funded by deposits, additional
short-term and long-term debt, advanced payments by borrowers for taxes in 2019, and lease liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents decreased $16.0 million, or 18.5%, to $70.1 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $86.1 million at December 31, 2018.
The decrease in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects the use of cash to fund loans held for sale.
Securities Available for Sale – Securities available for sale decreased $2.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was due to paydowns in mortgage related
securities and maturities of debt securities exceeding security purchases for the year.
Loans Held for Sale - Loans
held for sale increased $102.4 million to $244.1 million at June 30, 2019 due to the seasonal activity increase in the second quarter and the increase of refinancing activity from the reduction in mortgage rates.
Loans Receivable - Loans
receivable held for investment decreased $8.4 million to $1.37 billion at June 30, 2019. The decrease in total loans receivable was attributable to decreases in the one- to four-family, multi-family, home equity, commercial real estate, and
commercial loan categories. Partially offsetting those decreases, construction and land and consumer loan categories increased.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses decreased $632,000 from December 31, 2018. The decrease resulted from the negative provision due to improvement of key
loan quality metrics decreasing the required allowance related to the loans collectively reviewed. The overall decrease was primarily related to the one-to four-family, home equity, commercial real estate, and commercial categories. See Note 3 for
further discussion on the allowance for loan losses.
Real Estate Owned – Total real estate owned decreased $468,000 from December 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $743,000 was transferred from loans
receivable to real estate owned upon completion of foreclosure. During the same period, sales of real estate owned totaled $1.2 million.
Prepaid
expenses and other assets – Total prepaid expenses and other assets increased $20.0 million to $42.5 million at June 30, 2019. The
increase was primarily due to recording the right to use asset for operating leases, as a result of adopting the new lease accounting standard along with an increase in funding receivables from investors.
Deposits – Total deposits
increased $16.5 million to $1.05 billion at June 30, 2019 from December 31, 2018. The increase was driven by an increase of $18.7 million in money market and savings deposits and $9.8 million in time deposits offset by a decrease of $12.0 million in
demand deposits.
Borrowings – Total borrowings
increased $83.6 million, or 19.2%, to $518.7 million at June 30, 2019. The community banking segment added $65.0 million in long-term FHLB borrowings. External short term borrowings at the mortgage banking segment increased a total of $18.6 million
at June 30, 2019 from December 31, 2018 to fund loans held for sale.
Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes
- Advance payments by borrowers for taxes increased $14.5 million from December 31, 2018 to June 30, 2019. The increase was the result of payments received from borrowers for their real estate taxes and is seasonally normal, as balances increase
during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid in the fourth quarter.
Other Liabilities - Other
liabilities decreased $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018. Other liabilities primarily decreased related to a seasonal decrease in outstanding checks related to advance payments by borrowers for
taxes. The Company receives payments from borrowers for their real estate taxes during the course of the calendar year until real estate tax obligations are paid in the fourth quarter. At the time at which the disbursements are made, the
outstanding checks are classified as other liabilities in the statements of financial condition. These amounts remain classified as other liabilities until settled. Offsetting the decreases, operating lease liabilities were added to the statements
of financial condition as a result of adopting the new lease accounting standard.
Shareholders’ Equity –
Shareholders' equity decreased $12.9 million to $386.8 million at June 30, 2019 from December 31, 2018. Shareholders' equity decreased primarily due to the declaration of regular dividends and a special dividend and the repurchase of stock.
Partially offsetting the decreases, the increases related to net income, additional paid in capital as stock options were exercised, equity awards vesting, the increase in the fair value of the security portfolio, and unearned ESOP shares as they
continue to vest.

All loans that are 90 days or more past due with respect to principal and interest are recognized as non-accrual. Troubled debt
restructurings that are non-accrual either due to being past due greater than 90 days or which have not yet performed under the modified terms for a reasonable period of time, are included in the table above. In addition, loans that are past due less
than 90 days are evaluated to determine the likelihood of collectability given other credit risk factors such as early stage delinquency, the nature of the collateral or the results of a borrower review. When the collection of all contractual
principal and interest is determined to be unlikely, the loan is moved to non-accrual status and an updated appraisal of the underlying collateral is ordered. This process generally takes place when a loan is contractually past due between 60 and 90
days. Upon determining the updated estimated value of the collateral, a loan loss provision is recorded to establish a specific reserve to the extent that the outstanding principal balance exceeds the updated estimated net realizable value of the
collateral. When a loan is determined to be uncollectible, typically coinciding with the initiation of foreclosure action, the specific reserve is reviewed for adequacy, adjusted if necessary, and charged-off.
The following table sets forth activity in our non-accrual loans for the periods indicated.

Total non-accrual loans decreased by $870,000, or 13.3%, to $5.7 million as of June 30, 2019
compared to $6.6 million as of December 31, 2018. The ratio of non-accrual loans to total loans receivable was 0.41% at June 30, 2019 compared to 0.48% at December 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $764,000 in loans were placed
on non-accrual status. Offsetting this activity, $743,000 in non-accrual loans were transferred to real estate owned, $8,000 in loan principal was charged off, $127,000 returned to accrual status, and approximately $756,000 principal payments were
received during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Of the $5.7 million in total non-accrual loans as of June 30, 2019, $5.0 million in loans have been
specifically reviewed to assess whether a specific valuation allowance is necessary. A specific valuation allowance is established for an amount equal to the impairment when the carrying value of the loan exceeds the present value of expected future
cash flows, discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or the fair value of the underlying collateral with an adjustment made for costs to dispose of the asset. Based upon these specific reviews, a total of $1.5 million in cumulative
partial net charge-offs have been recorded over the life of these loans as of June 30, 2019. Partially charged-off loans measured for impairment based upon net realizable collateral value are maintained in a "non-performing" status and are disclosed
as impaired loans. In addition, specific reserves totaling $170,000 have been recorded as of June 30, 2019. The remaining $714,000 of non-accrual loans were reviewed on an aggregate basis and $143,000 in general valuation allowance was deemed
necessary related to those loans as of June 30, 2019. The $143,000 in valuation allowance is based upon a migration analysis performed with respect to similar non-accrual loans in prior periods.
The outstanding principal balance of our five largest non-accrual loans as of June 30, 2019 totaled
$1.8 million, which represents 31.2% of total non-accrual loans as of that date. These five loans have not had any cumulative life-to-date net charge-offs. An $80,000 specific valuation allowance was deemed necessary based on net realizable
collateral value with respect to these five loans as of June 30, 2019.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, gross interest income that would have been recorded had our
non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $222,000. We received $216,000 of interest payments on such loans during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Interest payments received are treated as interest income on a
cash basis as long as the remaining book value of the loan (i.e., after charge-off of all identified losses) is deemed to be fully collectible. If the remaining book value is not deemed to be fully collectible, all payments received are applied to
unpaid principal. Determination as to the ultimate collectability of the remaining book value is supported by an updated credit department evaluation of the borrower's financial condition and prospects for repayment, including consideration of the
borrower's sustained historical repayment performance and other relevant factors.
There were no accruing loans past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

All troubled debt restructurings are considered to be impaired, are risk rated as either substandard or watch and are included in the
internal risk rating tables disclosed in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Specific reserves have been established to the extent that collateral-based impairment analyses indicate that a collateral shortfall exists.
We do not participate in government-sponsored troubled debt restructuring programs. Our troubled debt restructurings
are short-term modifications. Typical initial restructured terms include six to twelve months of principal forbearance, a reduction in interest rate or both. Restructured terms do not include a reduction of the outstanding principal balance unless
mandated by a bankruptcy court. Troubled debt restructuring terms may be renewed or further modified at the end of the initial term for an additional period if performance has been acceptable and the short-term borrower difficulty persists.
If a restructured loan is current in all respects and a minimum of six consecutive restructured
payments have been received, it can be considered for return to accrual status. After a restructured loan that is current in all respects reverts to contractual/market terms, if a credit department review indicates no evidence of elevated market
risk, the loan is removed from the troubled debt restructuring classification.

Past due loans increased by $1.4 million, or 19.9%, to $8.3 million at June 30, 2019 from $7.0 million at December 31, 2018. Loans past
due less than 90 days increased by $2.9 million. Loans past due 90 days or more decreased by $1.4 million, or 29.3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
REAL ESTATE OWNED
Total real estate owned decreased by $468,000, or 21.7%, to $1.7 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, $743,000 was transferred from loans to real estate owned upon completion of foreclosure. During the same period, sales of real estate owned totaled $1.2 million. There were no write downs which occurred
during the six months ended June 30, 2019. New appraisals received on real estate owned and collateral dependent impaired loans are based upon an “as is value” assumption. During the period of time in which we are awaiting receipt of an updated
appraisal, loans evaluated for impairment based upon collateral value are measured by the following:
●
|
Applying an updated adjustment factor (as described previously) to an existing appraisal;
|
|
●
|
Confirming that the physical condition of the real estate has not significantly changed since the last valuation date;
|
|
●
|
Comparing the estimated current value of the collateral to that of updated sales values experienced on similar collateral;
|
|
●
|
Comparing the estimated current value of the collateral to that of updated values seen on current appraisals of similar collateral;
and
|
|
●
|
Comparing the estimated current value to that of updated listed sales prices on our real estate owned and that of similar
properties (not owned by the Company).
|
Virtually all habitable real estate owned (both residential and commercial properties) is managed with the intent of attracting a lessee to
generate revenue. Foreclosed properties are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell, with charge-offs, if any, charged to the allowance for loan losses upon transfer to real estate owned within 90 days of being
transferred. Subsequent write-downs to reflect current fair market value, as well as gains and losses upon disposition and revenue and expenses incurred in maintaining such properties, are treated as period costs and included in real estate owned in
the consolidated statements of income. The fair value is primarily based upon updated appraisals in addition to an analysis of current real estate market conditions.

The allowance for loan losses decreased $632,000 to $12.6 million at June 30, 2019, compared to $13.2 million at December 31, 2018. The
decrease in allowance for loan losses reflects the negative provision. The negative provision recorded during the current year reflects a continued improvement in the overall risk profile of the loan portfolio.
We had net recoveries of $18,000, or less than 0.01% of average loans annualized, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net
recoveries of $147,000, or approximately 0.02% of average loans annualized, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Of the $39,000 in charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the majority of the activity related to loans secured by one-
to four-family residential loans.
Our underwriting policies and procedures emphasize that credit decisions must rely on both the credit quality of the borrower and the
estimated value of the underlying collateral. Credit quality is assured only when the estimated value of the collateral is objectively determined and is not subject to significant fluctuation.
The allowance for loan losses has been determined in accordance with GAAP. We are responsible for the timely and periodic determination of
the amount of the allowance required. Any future provisions for loan losses will continue to be based upon our assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions and
other relevant factors. To the best of management’s knowledge, all probable losses have been provided for in the allowance for loan losses.
The establishment of the amount of the loan loss allowance inherently involves judgments by management as to the appropriateness of the
allowance, which ultimately may or may not be correct. Higher than anticipated rates of loan default would likely result in a need to increase provisions in future years.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity needs. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund loan
commitments, repay our borrowings, fund deposit outflows and pay real estate taxes on mortgage loans. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives. The level of our liquidity position at any point in time
is dependent upon the judgment of the senior management as supported by the Asset/Liability Committee. Liquidity is monitored on a daily, weekly and monthly basis using a variety of measurement tools and indicators.
Our primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and repayment of loans, sales of loans held for sale, maturities of investment
securities and other short-term investments, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan repayments are greatly influenced by
market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competitors. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds in short-term, interest-earning assets,
which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Additional sources of liquidity used for the purpose of managing long- and short-term cash flows include advances from the FHLB.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 primary uses of cash and cash equivalents included: $1.27 billion in funding loans held for sale,
$19.8 million for cash dividends paid, $6.8 million for purchases of mortgage related securities, and $14.4 million in purchases of our common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, primary sources of cash and cash equivalents included: $1.23 billion in proceeds from the sale
of loans held for sale, $65.0 million in additional proceeds from long-term borrowings, $16.5 million from an increase in deposits, $18.6 million in additional proceeds from short-term borrowings, $12.9 million in principal repayments on mortgage
related securities, $7.7 million from a decrease in loans receivable, and $16.2 million in net income.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018 primary uses of cash and cash equivalents included: $1.19 billion funding loans held for sale, a
$50.5 million increase in funding loans receivable, $20.5 million for cash dividends paid, $43.8 million repayment of short-term borrowings, a $5.5 million decrease in advance payments by borrowers for taxes, and $4.0 million in purchases of our
common stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, primary sources of cash and cash equivalents included: $1.25 billion in proceeds from the sale
of loans held for sale, $90.0 million in additional proceeds from long-term FHLB borrowings, $14.6 million in principal repayments on mortgage related securities, $16.4 million in net income, $3.1 million from maturities of debt securities, and $28.1
million increase in deposits.
A portion of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of our operating, investing and financing
activities. At June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, $70.1 million and $78.1 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were comprised of the following: $47.3 million in cash held
at the Federal Reserve Bank and other depository institutions and $22.9 million in federal funds sold and short-term investments. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on loans, proceeds from the calls and maturities of debt and
mortgage-related securities, increases in deposit accounts and advances from the FHLB.
Liquidity management is both a daily and longer-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate
them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the FHLB which provide an additional source of funds. At June 30, 2019, we had $495.0 million in long term advances from the FHLB with contractual maturity dates in 2027, 2028, and 2029. The 2027
advance maturities have single call options in August 2019 and December 2019. The 2028 advance maturities have single call options in March 2020, March 2021, May 2020, and May 2021, along with two advances that have quarterly call options beginning
in June 2020 and September 2020. The 2029 advance maturities have quarterly call options in September 2019, November 2020, August 2021, and May 2022. As an additional source of funds, the mortgage banking segment has a repurchase agreement.As an
additional source of funds, the mortgage banking segment has a repurchase agreement. At June 30, 2019, we had $23.7 million outstanding under the repurchase agreement with a total outstanding commitment of $35.0 million.
At June 30, 2019, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans receivable of $85.6 million. In addition, at June 30, 2019, we had
unfunded commitments under construction loans of $60.0 million, unfunded commitments under business lines of credit of $13.8 million and unfunded commitments under home equity lines of credit and standby letters of credit of $14.9 million. At June
30, 2019, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $538.4 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that, subject to the Bank’s funding needs, a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us,
although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits is not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as FHLB advances, in order to maintain our level of assets.
However, we cannot assure that such borrowings would be available on attractive terms, or at all, if and when needed. Alternatively, we could reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents and securities available-for-sale
in order to meet funding needs. In addition, the cost of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher or there is an increased amount of competition for deposits in our market area at the time of renewal.
Waterstone Financial, Inc. is a separate legal entity from WaterStone Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay dividends to its
shareholders, repurchase shares of its common stock, and for other corporate purposes. The primary source of liquidity for Waterstone Financial, Inc. is dividend payments from WaterStone Bank. The ability of WaterStone Bank to pay dividends is
subject to regulatory restrictions. At June 30, 2019, Waterstone Financial, Inc. (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets totaling $55.3 million.
Capital
Shareholders' equity decreased by $12.9 million to $386.8 million at June 30, 2019 from December 31, 2018. Shareholders' equity decreased
primarily due to the declaration of regular dividends and a special dividend and the repurchase of stock. Partially offsetting the decreases, the increases related to net income, additional paid in capital as stock options were exercised, equity
awards vesting, the increase in the fair value of the security portfolio, and unearned ESOP shares as they continue to vest.

The Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program in the second quarter of 2019. The timing of the purchases will
depend on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and prices, available funds and alternative uses of capital. The timing of the repurchases will depend on certain factors, including but not limited to, market conditions and
prices, available funds and alternative uses of capital. The stock repurchase program may be carried out through open-market purchases, block trades, negotiated private transactions and pursuant to a trading plan that will be adopted in accordance
with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Repurchased shares are held by the Company as authorized but unissued shares.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company had repurchased 7,881,953 shares at an average price of $13.94 under previously approved stock repurchase
plans. As of June 30, 2019, the Company is authorized to purchase up to 1.8 million additional shares under the current approved stock repurchase program.
WaterStone Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital
guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2019, WaterStone Bank exceeded all regulatory capital
requirements and is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 8 Regulatory Capital.”

Management of Market Risk
General. The majority of our assets and liabilities
are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a
principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, WaterStone Bank’s board of directors has established an Asset/Liability
Committee which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance
objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors. Management monitors the level of interest rate risk on a regular basis and the Asset/Liability Committee meets at least weekly to review our
asset/liability policies and interest rate risk position, which are evaluated quarterly.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes
in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: (i) emphasizing variable rate loans including variable rate one- to four-family, and commercial real estate loans as well as three to five year
commercial real estate balloon loans; (ii) reducing and shortening the expected average life of the investment portfolio; and (iii) whenever possible, lengthening the term structure of our deposit base and our borrowings from the FHLB. These measures
should reduce the volatility of our net interest income in different interest rate environments.
Income
Simulation. Simulation analysis is an estimate of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time. At least quarterly we
review the potential effect changes in interest rates may have on the repayment or repricing of rate sensitive assets and funding requirements of rate sensitive liabilities. Our most recent simulation uses projected repricing of assets and
liabilities at June 30, 2019 on the basis of contractual maturities, anticipated repayments and scheduled rate adjustments. Prepayment rate assumptions may have a significant impact on interest income simulation results. Because of the large
percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates may have a significant impact on the actual prepayment speeds of our mortgage related assets that may in turn affect our interest rate sensitivity position.
When interest rates rise, prepayment speeds slow and the average expected lives of our assets would tend to lengthen more than the expected average lives of our liabilities and therefore would most likely have a positive impact on net interest income
and earnings.
The following interest rate scenario displays the percentage change in net interest income over a one-year time horizon
assuming increases of 100, 200 and 300 basis points and a decreases of 100 basis points. The results incorporate actual cash flows and repricing characteristics for balance sheet accounts following an instantaneous parallel change in market rates
based upon a static (no growth balance sheet).
