REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
 
Topeka, KS - Capitol Federal Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: CFFN) (the “Company”) announced results today for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Detailed results of the quarter will be available in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, which is expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 4, 2011 and posted on our website, http://ir.capfed.com.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarters Ended June 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized net income of $17.3 million, compared to net income of $15.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  The $1.7 million increase between periods was due primarily to an increase in net interest income.

The net interest margin for the current quarter was 1.88% compared to 1.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  The 18 basis point increase in the net interest margin was due primarily to a full quarter of earnings on higher-yielding securities.  Following the second-step conversion and stock offering (the “corporate reorganization”) in December 2010, the proceeds from the stock offering were invested in cash, earning 25 basis points, for a portion of the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  Additionally, the net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by approximately five basis points as a result of net deferred premium recognition in the previous quarter related to loan modifications that did not occur in the current quarter.

Total interest and dividend income for the current quarter was $88.1 million compared to $84.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  The $3.2 million increase was primarily a result of a $2.3 million increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) due to a $364.4 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio as a portion of the stock offering proceeds from the corporate reorganization were used to purchase MBS during the previous quarter.  This increase was partially offset by a 17 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield due to purchases of MBS at a lower average yield than the existing portfolio.

Total interest expense decreased slightly, from $44.4 million for the prior quarter to $43.8 million for the current quarter.  Interest expense on deposits decreased from $16.1 million to $15.5 million due primarily to a decrease in the weighted average rate on the certificate of deposit portfolio due to portfolio repricing.  Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances increased from $22.0 million to $22.5 million primarily as a result of an increase in the average balance between the two periods as the Bank obtained an additional $100 million advance during the quarter.

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million during the current quarter, compared to a provision of $520 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.  The provision recorded in the current quarter was primarily a result of the increase in and establishment of specific valuation allowances, primarily on purchased loans, and partially due to an increase in the general valuation allowance as a result of a decline in the current Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) home price index, primarily in Kansas and Missouri.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $21.6 million, compared to $52.4 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The $30.8 million decrease in the current period was due primarily to the $40.0 million ($26.0 million, net of income tax benefit) contribution to the Capitol Federal Foundation (the “Foundation”) in connection with the corporate reorganization.  Additionally, other income decreased $8.8 million and net interest income decreased $3.6 million between periods. These decreases were partially offset by an $18.8 million decrease in income tax expense and a $5.7 million decrease in provision for credit losses between periods. 

The following table presents selected financial results and performance ratios for the Company for the nine months ended June 30, 2011.  Because of the magnitude and non-recurring nature of the $40.0 million contribution to the Foundation in connection with the corporate reorganization, management believes it is important for comparability purposes to present selected financial results and performance ratios excluding the contribution to the Foundation.  The adjusted financial results and ratios are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Total interest and dividend income for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $260.3 million compared to $284.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  The $23.8 million decrease was primarily a result of decreases in interest income on loans receivable of $23.9 million and MBS of $3.8 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income on investment securities of $3.7 million.  The $23.9 million decrease in interest income on loans receivable was the result of a decrease of 31 basis points in the weighted average yield to 4.93% for the period and a decrease of $304.5 million in the average balance of the portfolio.  The $3.8 million decrease in interest income on MBS was a result of a decrease of 67 basis points in the weighted average yield to 3.58% for the current nine months, partially offset by a $184.3 million increase in the average balance of the portfolio.  The $3.7 million increase in interest income on investment securities was primarily a result of an $800.4 million increase in the average balance, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of 62 basis points to 1.24% for the current nine month period.

Interest expense decreased $20.3 million to $135.4 million for the current nine month period from $155.7 million for the prior year period.  The weighted average rate paid on the certificate of deposit portfolio decreased 67 basis points between the two periods, from 2.74% for the prior year period to 2.07% for the current nine month period.  The decrease in interest expense on FHLB advances was a result of the refinance and renewal of maturing FHLB advances, a new advance at a rate lower than the weighted average portfolio rate, and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in the average balance between the periods.

The Bank recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.4 million during the current nine month period, compared to a provision of $8.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  The provision recorded in the current nine month period was primarily a result of the increase in and establishment of specific valuation allowances, primarily on purchased loans, and partially due to an increase in the general valuation allowance as a result of a decline in the current FHFA home price index, primarily in Kansas and Missouri.

Total other income was $18.6 million for the current nine month period compared to $27.4 million for the prior year period.  The $8.8 million decrease was due primarily to no gains on the sale of securities in the current nine month period, compared to $6.5 million of gains in the prior nine month period.  Retail fees decreased $2.2 million related to a decrease in overdraft charges as a result of Regulation E, and other income, net decreased by $1.1 million due primarily to a decrease in net gains on loan sales.  Total other expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 were $109.3 million, compared to $66.5 million in the prior year period.  The $42.8 million increase was due to a $40.0 million cash contribution to the Foundation in connection with the corporate reorganization. 

In February 2011, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation adopted a new assessment structure for insured institutions.  One of the significant changes includes using average total consolidated assets minus average tangible equity for the assessment base instead of average deposits and secured liabilities for the period.  It is estimated the Bank will realize a $2.1 million reduction in its deposit insurance assessment in FY 2011 compared to FY 2010.

A provision of the Dodd-Frank Act, commonly referred to as the “Durbin Amendment,” directed the Federal Reserve Board to analyze the debit card payments system and fix the interchange rates based upon their measure of actual costs.  Currently this has no impact on the Company.  Based upon the Federal Reserve Board’s new interchange rate for issuers over $10 billion and the Bank’s debit card transaction volume year-to-date, it is estimated that the related fee income could decrease by $3.1 million annually from current levels when the Bank exceeds $10 billion in assets.  Although the Bank is exempt from the provisions of the rule on the basis of asset size, there is some uncertainty about the impact there will be on the interchange rates for issuers below that level. 

Income tax expense for the current nine month period was $10.1 million compared to $28.8 million for the prior year nine month period.  The decrease in income tax expense between the periods was primarily a result of the $40.0 million contribution to the Foundation, which resulted in $14.0 million of income tax benefit.  The effective income tax rate for the current nine month period was 31.8% compared to 35.5% for the prior year nine month period.  The decrease in the effective tax rate between periods was due primarily to a $686 thousand tax return to tax provision adjustment related to income tax expense recognized in the prior years.  Excluding that adjustment, the effective income tax rate would have been 34.0% for the current nine month period.  Management anticipates the effective tax rate for the current fiscal year and fiscal year 2012 to be approximately 33% and 36%, respectively.

Financial Condition as of June 30, 2011

Total assets increased $1.11 billion, from $8.49 billion at September 30, 2010 to $9.60 billion at June 30, 2011, due primarily to the stock offering proceeds from the corporate reorganization in December 2010, which were used to purchase securities.  At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $161.9 million, an increase of $96.7 million from September 30, 2010.  The increase was due to $100.0 million of securities called at the end of June that were not reinvested in anticipation of repaying $75.0 million of borrowings that matured and were repaid in July 2011.

The loans receivable portfolio decreased $5.4 million from $5.17 billion at September 30, 2010 to $5.16 billion at June 30, 2011.  The decrease in the loan portfolio reflects the elevated levels of loan repayments as a result of refinancing activity due to low market interest rates, strong competition for high quality loans, as well as weak loan demand due to the slow economic recovery and increased real estate owned (“REO”) inventory. 

During fiscal year 2011, the Bank entered into a correspondent lending relationship with three new lenders in our current local market areas and three new lenders in Midwestern states outside of our current local market area.  In fiscal year 2011, the Bank has expanded the permitted geographic lending area of two existing correspondent lenders.  The geographic locations for the mortgage lending volume provided by these correspondent lenders would be in our current local market areas, neighboring Midwestern states, and a southern state.  At June 30, 2011 the Bank had 15 correspondent lending relationships.

Loans 30 to 89 days delinquent remained relatively unchanged from September 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011, at $24.7 million for both periods.  Non-performing loans decreased $4.0 million from $32.0 million at September 30, 2010 to $28.0 million at June 30, 2011.  The balance of 30 to 89 days delinquent loans and non-performing loans continues to remain at historically high levels due to the continued elevated level of unemployment coupled with the decline in real estate activity and values, particularly in some of the states in which we have purchased loans.  Our ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreased from 0.62% at September 30, 2010 to 0.54% at June 30, 2011.  Our ratio of non-performing assets to total assets decreased from 0.49% at September 30, 2010 to 0.40% at June 30, 2011. 

Total liabilities increased $143.3 million from $7.53 billion at September 30, 2010 to $7.67 billion at June 30, 2011, due primarily to an increase in deposits of $172.3 million and an increase in FHLB advances of $105.3 million, partially offset by a decrease of $103.6 million in other borrowings.  The increase in deposits was primarily in the money market and checking portfolios.  The increase in the FHLB advances was due to a $100.0 million advance obtained in the current quarter in an effort to mitigate the additional interest rate risk associated with the purchase of $89.1 million of one- to four- family loans during the current quarter.  The decrease in other borrowings was due to the repayment of the Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures of $53.6 million and to the maturity of two repurchase agreements totaling $50.0 million that were not replaced.

Stockholders’ equity increased $972.1 million, from $962.0 million at September 30, 2010 to $1.93 billion at June 30, 2011.  The increase was due primarily to the net stock offering proceeds of $1.13 billion from the corporate reorganization in December 2010 and net income during the fiscal year, partially offset by dividends paid of $138.0 million.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid $138.0 million in cash dividends.  The $138.0 million consisted of cash dividends of $17.0 million paid prior to the corporate reorganization, and $121.0 million paid since the corporate reorganization.  In July 2011, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share, which will equate to approximately $12.1 million, payable in August 2011.  Dividend payments depend upon a number of factors including the Company's financial condition and results of operations, the Bank’s regulatory capital requirements, regulatory limitations on the Bank's ability to make capital distributions to the Company, and the amount of cash at the holding company.

At June 30, 2011, Capitol Federal Financial, Inc., at the holding company level, had $79.8 million on deposit with the Bank and $404.2 million in investment securities with a weighted average life of 0.77 years.  All of the securities are classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”).  The securities have laddered maturities in order to provide cash flows that can be used to pay dividends, repurchase stock when allowed by federal banking regulations,  reinvest into higher yielding assets if interest rates rise, or pursue other corporate strategies, as deemed appropriate.  Under current regulatory restrictions, we may not repurchase our stock during the first year following our corporate reorganization except under very limited circumstances.  The Company has filed an application to begin repurchasing shares before the end of this one-year moratorium, which expires in December 2011.

Average Balance Sheet
The following tables present the average balances of our assets, liabilities and stockholders’ equity and the related annualized yields and rates on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated and the weighted average yield/rate on our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 2011.  Average yields are derived by dividing annualized income by the average balance of the related assets and average rates are derived by dividing annualized expense by the average balance of the related liabilities, for the periods shown.  Average outstanding balances are derived from average daily balances.  The yields and rates include amortization of fees, costs, premiums and discounts which are considered adjustments to yields/rates. Yields on tax-exempt securities were not calculated on a tax-equivalent basis.

(1)  Calculated net of unearned loan fees and deferred costs, and undisbursed loan funds.  Non-accruing loans are included in the loans receivable average balance with a yield of zero percent. Balances include loans held-for-sale (“LHFS”).
 
(2)  MBS and investment securities classified as AFS are stated at amortized cost, adjusted for unamortized purchase premiums or discounts.
 
(3)  The average balance of investment securities includes an average balance of nontaxable securities of $65.2 million and $72.0 million for the period ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.
 
(4)  FHLB advances are stated net of deferred gains and deferred prepayment penalties.
 
(5) Net interest income represents the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as mortgage loans, investment securities, and MBS, and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits, FHLB advances, and other borrowings.  Net interest income depends on the balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on them.
 
(6) Net interest rate spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities.
 
(7) Net interest margin represents net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets.
